Firstly, I would like to congratulate the children for their resiliency and motivation over the last three weeks. The smiles and chatter is something all the teachers have missed. Children have come back to school excited to learn and happy to see their teachers. Keep a look out tomorrow on Facebook, we will be handing out merit certificates to Face to Face learners as well as At Home Learners.
The next thank you is for the parents who have been so patient dropping their children at the gates. An unexpected bonus of this change is that the children are so settled in and ready for learning in the mornings. Thank you parents for bravely trusting us with your children. We have also noticed how carefully you have been driving at the drop off zone. Thank you.
The At Home Learner parents also need to be congratulated. You have approached the packs with enthusiasm and diligence. We have had some lovely feedback about the packs and the children’s work has been fantastic. Kimeera Hamon from Year 8 has been cooking up a storm with her family and sent us this picture of the delicious results. Well done.
Lastly, thank you to the staff. Right from the office ladies who have fielded many inquiries and handed out work packs, to the cleaning and grounds staff who have taken on extra responsibilities. Finally, the teachers who have managed the rapid changes in a calm and professional manner.
When we have more news about what the future looks like, I will contact parents. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to call the school if you have questions.
