Although we are now at the end of our second week of this term, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our families back and to especially welcome all of our new families. Our numbers continue to grow and we currently have 581 students officially enrolled at our school. This is a massive increase on last year and, I believe, it reflects the positive vibe we have created at SGHS. Thank you to all for your ongoing support.
Upgrades to our Facilities
You may be aware by now that we are in the process of upgrading the student’s toilets. At present the boy’s toilets are being completely refurbished. They will have new tile floors, tile walls from floor to ceiling and toilets with seats. Some of the boys have told me that this will be “sheer luxury”. Once the boy’s toilets are finished the work will begin on the girl’s toilets and I anticipate that by the end of Term 3 all work will be finished.
In addition to this we have just finished upgrading one of the computer rooms. It is looking magnificent with a new television, 30 desktop computers, new benches and a fresh coat of paint. The room next to it will also undergo a similar upgrade very soon and we are installing new blinds in the Maths and English blocks.
It is my intention that over the next 5 years we will put a considerable amount of time and money into upgrading the facilities at SGHS. This will ensure that our students have access to a modern, inviting and stimulating learning environment.
Mother’s Day Breakfast
Thursday morning’s breakfast was a great success. The weather was beautiful, the food was delicious and the barista coffee definitely hit the spot. Thank you to the mothers who came along and enjoyed then time with their children. I would particularly like to thank my mother and sister for coming along and sharing the morning with me. The connections we have with the people who care about us are the most important ones to cultivate.
