From the Chaplain
As I write this article, I am finding it difficult to know how best to begin. I am sure that there have been many different responses to the circumstances of the last few weeks and that we all have stories to tell of how this recent outbreak has affected us personally and those that are close to us. I have been thinking of you all and keeping you in my prayers. I know there has been a lot of disappointment, fear, frustration and confusion within our community and I hope that you all have the support and care that you might need to keep moving through this. I am always happy to chat via whatever means suits you if necessary. Being able to share our load and concerns can sometimes take some of the weight off our shoulders. This is what the strength of our community is all about. I have been asked by a few people to pray for different situations and individuals over the last few weeks so if you have anything specific that you would like prayer for please let me know. There is a group of people who have been consistently praying for the school and the community and will continue to do so. All requests are treated by me with complete confidentiality and anonymity. I pray that whatever you put your faith and hope in will give you comfort and peace during this time.
SCEGGS Podcast: our latest episode and easier access
“Walk the Mile Episode 9: The Love of Teaching and The Teaching of Love”
This week’s episode of Walk The Mile is a conversation with a long standing member of staff that has definitely made her mark on the school, and beyond. Jan Morice is celebrating her 50th year working at SCEGGS and her 60th year of being in the teaching profession. She always has a plethora of stories to tell from both her personal and professional life. I always give the guests the option of choosing their topic and in this instance Jan wanted to talk about love. I hope you find it interesting.
And a reminder about the link to all previous podcasts on the SCEGGS Darlinghurst web page. If you click on the Community tab you will find a link to the catalogue. Topics that we have covered so far have included education, shock, grief, indigenous issues and fathers raising daughters. I welcome your feedback and let me know if you would like to join me on the podcast.
