This week it has been wonderful to see our Wyvern students immersed in the world of Elizabethan literature with the biannual Shakespeare Festival. All year groups have enjoyed working with actors from Bell Shakespeare who have brought a number of Shakespeare’s plays alive. As mentioned, when I last wrote, we are very grateful for the P&F’s funding of this superb event; it is particularly pleasing to see every student K-6 benefiting from the experience.

At the end of this term Mrs Vanessa Perry, Wyvern Learning Enhancement Team Leader will leave us due to her relocation to Hong Kong. I thank Mrs Perry for her excellent contribution to Wyvern. From Term 3 Mrs Julie Burke has been seconded from her senior school role to be our learning Enhancement Team Leader. Mrs Burke has tremendous expertise in this area having been Head of Learning Support at both Kincoppal School and St Joseph’s College. Mr Stuart Brown, who has previously worked as a learning enhancement teacher at Wyvern will also join the team in Term 3.

Finally, I wish all students and families a restful break and I look forward to seeing boys back at school for the start of Term 3 on Monday 23rd July.

Ian Holden
Head of Wyvern House
