From Ms Allum
It seems like only yesterday I was writing about the start of Term 2 and now, nine weeks later, we have reached the end of another busy and productive term at SCEGGS!
I am delighted that many of our plans for this term were achieved including the launch of our Light Her Path Campaign and our stunning 125th Anniversary Photo Book. We acknowledged National Reconciliation Week and it was wonderful to see parents on campus for various events and student performances.
As many of us gear up to hibernate over the cooler weather, we wish our Snowsports competitors good luck as they prepare for the Inter-School Snowsports Championships in Thredbo during the holidays. Also bracing the cold will be our Duke of Edinburgh Senior girls embarking on their Gold hike. And soon you will receive your child’s mid-year school report. I encourage you to take the time to read this over with your daughter, focusing on her strengths, acknowledging the progress she has made and identifying areas that she may be struggling with. As always, we welcome you to contact your daughter’s teachers to discuss any aspect of her learning and wellbeing.
We hit the ground running in Term 3 with our Foundation Day Assembly on the first day back of school (Wednesday 14 July) and we look forward to welcoming back the Class of 2020 for their belated Year 13 Cocktail gathering. As always, there will be much to fill the Term including sporting, debating and other co-curricular fixtures, the HSC Trial Examinations, a SPAN HR Workshop on Thursday 26 August, incursions and excursions and too many other things to mention in one article!
But, before all that, it is time for a much needed rest. I hope you all enjoy time with your family, friends and loved ones!
Best wishes
Jenny Allum
