Hello!

The long, hot summer holidays (unless you were skiing) seem but a distant memory now. While I enjoyed the time without homework, Saturday sport and after school activities, I must say that I have kind of, sort of, been excited about being back in a routine, so that I can remember where my children are on any given day and what the drop-off/pick-up arrangements are…

The first day of school is so exciting. Seemingly endless opportunity to excel, learn new things, hang out with all your friends for most of the week, a clean slate. School corridors and playgrounds are abuzz with boys sharing news of holiday escapades. For the Kindy boys, it’s an adventure the likes of which they’ve never had to face before and which will remain in their memories forever (hopefully with minimal tears and maximum joy).

Moving on to matters P&F… We only have four meetings each year and I’d really like all (or most) parents to attend at least one (if not four). We provide child minding and dinner for the boys, who have a great time playing on the roof top while the meeting is conducted in the hall.

Our first meeting is on Thursday, 5 March, 7:00-8:30pm. Mr Holden, Ms Gray and Mr Baker also attend the meetings and present an update on topical subjects of interest to parents, such as health and safety and the school’s approach relating to other areas of interest or current goings on. If there’s a topic you’d like discussed, please let me know in advance.

But, before then, I do hope to see you at this week’s cocktail party, where the Mary Andrews Garden will be abuzz with parents sharing stories of their own holiday escapades…

Until next time, be well and happy
