Swimming Carnival

It was terrific to see wonderful team spirit and camaraderie on display at the very successful Swimming Carnival last week. There were many impressive individual and team performances as well as great determination and effort shown by all boys. Congratulations to the winners of the House competition which this year was Williams. I also thank the many parents who attended for their wonderful support. The staff team, ably led by Mr Brunton, Mr Martin and  Mr Wilson, ensured the day ran smoothly; my thanks to them.

Camp Out

Last week boys from Year 5 had their ‘Camp-Out’ at the Senior School campus. We are particularly grateful to a number of Senior Students who assisted the Wyvern boys with team building activities and camp site set up. Year 3 will enjoy a sleepover at Wyvern next week. The intention of such activities is to build greater independence and to assist with the integration of our new intake of students with their cohort. I hope all gain much from the experience.

Parent Volunteers

I thank and acknowledge the tremendous work that parent volunteers are undertaking in the school. Whether in the Uniform Shop, Canteen, assisting with excursions or in classrooms, or by joining the P&F executive team, parents who give so generously of their time are adding much value to our school community. I remind all parents that our volunteers are combining busy agendas to help out; please bear this in mind in your interactions with them. As with all other members of the school community we do expect them to be afforded respect and consideration. Please also consider getting involved as a volunteer at the school, even if you can only commit on an adhoc basis. Parents who are volunteers feel a strong connection with the school and their sons. Please contact Natalie Mina, our P&F President at natalie.mina@accenture.com if you would like any further information about our volunteering opportunities.
