The final term of 2018 is rapidly disappearing. Despite this I am impressed by the purposeful and calm tone evident in all Wyvern classrooms. This was especially the case last week when we held orientation mornings for 80 new boys and their families. I thank the many parents who assisted on the days and gave such a warm welcome to our new Wyvern families.

We have been overwhelmed by your generosity in supporting the Barnardos Christmas Tree Appeal which this year is focussing on providing gift vouchers for teenagers in need of support.  So far Wyvern families have donated 188 vouchers. We are just shy of 12 more vouchers to reach our goal of 200 to complete the Christmas tree. This is a fantastic effort, which will be very much appreciated by Barnardos.

At this evening’s P&F Annual General Meeting, a number of the P&F Executive team will be stepping down from their roles after many years of service to Wyvern. I thank Lillian Fadel, Teresa Lewis, Dita Alafaci, Cathy Cooper and Amanda Pattison for their wonderful support of Wyvern boys and families.
