As we approach the last 3 weeks of this term it is pleasing to see the strong learning focus being demonstrated in all classrooms. Whilst the recent spell of unsettled weather has frustratingly disrupted some of our summer sports fixtures and training sessions, it has not diminished the students’ enthusiasm and excellent focus for their academic work.

The expectation and intention for the final part of the term is for all to finish well. With that in mind we will keep a sharp focus on all the small things that, in my view, make such a difference to the overall tone of the school. I look forward to boys continuing their high standards in wearing the correct uniform, displaying excellent manners and showing respectful and kind behaviour.

At next week’s P & F General Meeting we are pleased to have the opportunity to highlight our approach to supporting students’ well-being. Mr Campbell Jensen-Robilliard, our School Counsellor, will present the ‘Second Step’ program that we are rolling out in our classrooms to assist students’ emotional and personal growth. In addition, Mr Trent Driver, Deputy Head of Stanmore (Academic) from the senior school campus will give a short debrief about the 2016 HSC and IB results. I do hope to see you at the meeting on 23rd March at 6.30pm in Wyvern Hall.

Mr Ian Holden
Head of Wyvern House
