I am sure that those of us who were lucky enough to be part of the audience at the recent music showcase for students from Year 3 -6 were enthralled with the wonderful talent on display. From beginner groups through to elite ensembles and massed choirs, it is very clear that Wyvern boys really enjoy their music making, hence there is no surprise when such a high standard of performance is achieved. Many congratulations to Wyvern students and the music team led so well by our Head of Music, Ms Alina Belshaw, for a memorable concert.

Last week sixteen Year 5 and Year 6 students from Wyvern attended the 2017 da Vinci Decathlon at Knox Grammar competing against over 1,000 other primary school students from across NSW and the ACT. The da Vinci Decathlon is an academic competition designed to challenge and stimulate the minds of school students. Students compete in teams of eight across 10 disciplines: engineering, mathematics, code breaking, art and poetry, science, English, creative producers, cartography,  general knowledge and for the first time ideation.  Many congratulations to the hard work of our boys for a successful day.

A reminder that Friday 9 June is a pupil free day followed by the public holiday on Monday 12 June. I do hope that you are able to catch your breath over this long weekend after what has been a very busy few weeks at Wyvern.

Ian Holden
Head of Wyvern
