Last Friday Wyvern boys, fathers and grandfathers enjoyed a superb Father’s Day Breakfast which was organised and led by Year 2 parents Sarah Pussell, Kathy Burshtein and their team of helpers.  Many thanks must also go to Year 5 parents, Anne Potter, Kerry Maxwell, Sandy Palmer, Catherine Dwyer and Andrea Schlaphoff who organised and distributed the fantastic Fathers Day gifts to the boys.

On Saturday the College celebrated a wonderful Back to Newington Day. Apart from the sporting triumphs it was wonderful to see so many Wyvern families enjoying the occasion. Wyvern’s Year 6 rugby teams enjoyed a half-time run during the main rugby fixture and impressed all – well done! I especially thank Nicole Newson, Emma Cope and Phil Argy from our P & F Executive Team for their hard work and organisation of the Wyvern P & F stalls.

Our Year 4 and Year 5 students returned from their respective camp experiences. Such activities are important parts of our wider social and personal development programs and, as such, I am so pleased that all boys faced the challenge of being away from home with such confidence and resilience. I especially commend Year 5 boys and staff for coping so well with unexpected sickness of some boys. The care shown by boys to other boys as well as the outstanding dedication of staff was remarkable. I thank Year 5 parents as well for their support of our staff in such difficult circumstances.

A reminder that our last day of Term 3 is Friday 20 September.

Head of Wyvern House
