Head of Junior School
There’s nothing quite like a large bus stuck in the school entrance to test our problem solving skills and patience. Last Tuesday was our moment, right at afternoon collection time. No doubt it was not intentional nor malicious…it’s ‘life’ as they say. I am very thankful for the quick response from our staff to guide traffic on Piper Drive and through the school and assist where needed. Most obvious, and so encouraging, was the patience and cooperation of our own parents and the general public who had to collect a child, pick up uniform orders or get to the train station.
And ‘life’ at the moment has many of these interruptions. We are adaptable, creative and resilient when the need arises, and we want these attitudes for our children. Too many interruptions can be exhausting, so kindness and grace are needed for each other and ourselves. I see these attributes in our students and our community every day and want these as distinctives of the College. But no more buses stuck in the entrance for a while, please!
Congratulations to all who had a go at the Junior School swimming carnival. It was a wonderful day of participation and joy, with great weather a real bonus. We missed our cheerful parents and grandparents, though.
