Message from Grant Andrews, Acting Head of Junior School

Dear Parents and Carers,

We do hope you can join us tomorrow for our special Mother’s Day Morning. Mothers, grandmothers, aunts or other special females in the lives of our students are all welcome. Fathers are also welcome to attend! Activities and light refreshments commence at 7:45am and conclude by 8:30am.

In an effort to ensure the safety of a large number of people, carline will not operate tomorrow. There is very limited parking on the School site and it is therefore recommended that you arrange to be dropped off, or that you arrive early and park in the Lyne Park carpark. Please do not park in Iluka Street or Elanora Street.

Please note: Co-Curricular activities that would normally occur on Friday mornings will not be running.

At yesterday’s assembly, we were treated to a performance by the Training Band, led beautifully by Mr Hayles. Their performance was nothing short of enchanting. We were also fortunate to have Head of Strickland, Jonathan Gold, talk to the K-2 students about friendships and the importance of being kind.

Our Kindergarten cohort has been given a wonderful opportunity to create some artwork for the Australian Paralympic Team to be hung in the Athletes’ village in Paris. Annabelle Williams, a gold medal winning swimmer from the Beijing and London Paralympics, will also come to the School and speak to the students about how inspirational it was for her to have children’s artwork motivate her to greatness, alongside the important broader messaging around disability and inclusion.

The Junior School has been filled with the beautiful sounds of our students singing and creating music as the entire school has been busy preparing for our Showcase performances. Please see the detailed information in the Music section, so you know which concert(s) your son is involved in and details about those events and relevant rehearsals. The invitation to this musical extravaganza can be found here.

Kind regards,

Grant Andrews
Acting Head of Junior School
