Dear Parents and Carers
In this week’s assembly we reminded students of the significance of Easter. Our Chaplain, Mr Farraway, led this Service with many students and staff contributing with readings and prayers.
At the end of the Service, I honoured the achievements of students whom were yet to be celebrated in assembly. This included our musicians who performed in the Easter Concert on Tuesday evening, as well as the cast and crew of Cloudstreet for their magnificent performances last week. We also celebrated our rowers who competed in the Nationals and our most successful swimming team since 1985, who came 3rd place in the CAS. And finally, we congratulated our sailors who won the NSW State Championships for the second year in a row. They presented their shield to Ms Marquet to thunderous applause from the students.
Can I please reinforce my message earlier in the year for parents who are dropping off their sons at school to use the “kiss and drop” (enter via Victoria Road gate). The traffic around the School is often heavy and unpredictable, and we have safety concerns for students who are being dropped off at bus stops, in between parked cars, across entrances of driveways, and even in double parked situations. I would like to thank the parents who are already using the “kiss and drop” facility and would encourage other parents to do the same – not only to ease congestion around the school – but also for the safety of the boys.
A reminder there is no sport this weekend as we head into the Easter break. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy and safe Easter long weekend.
With every good wish,
Bob Meakin
