Like most of you, we are quite astounded that the end of 2016 is upon us.  It has been a very full year for everyone, and for us, full of great fun.

We have been absolutely delighted with the progress that our students have made this year, not only in terms of technical excellence, but – and of equal importance to us – also as young men taking responsibility for themselves.  We have seen ‘difficult’ students blossom into young people considerate of their own actions and the impact these have on others.  On the face of it, it can seem miraculous, but it is a simple matter of modelling these behaviours, explaining them in terms that our students understand (‘kidspeak’), and then expecting that they are capable of it – which they most certainly demonstrate!

Credit of course must also go to the parents and the College for their part in these transformations.

Some of our students are off on new adventures in other countries and places, and we will be very sad not to see them back next year but wish them all the very best of amazing journeys with their families.

To all our students, our very best wishes for a joyful summer, and prosperity and happiness in the coming year, and we look forward to seeing you all back in February 2017.

Our Facebook page and website will of course be functioning during the break (for our blog and information on our term dates in Turramurra, etc.).
