Hello!

WoW! What a great night! Nearly two hundred mums attended our ‘Women of Wyvern’ dinner and by all accounts – and the energy in the room – we had a great time! Even my three-minute welcome speech seemed to take up too much time for mums wanting to get the evening started. It was indeed wonderful to see everyone having a lovely evening with friends and even making new friends.

I’d like to say a huge thank you to Sally Hassen (Year 4 and 6) who put such a great effort into organising the evening and making it as successful as it was. I also want to extend a special thank you to the Dedes family who took extra special care of our group at their wonderful venue, Dedes on the Wharf. We’ve already started planning for next year and I’m very excited about our plans!

The Mother’s Day gift catalogue is out and there is a great selection of gifts ranging from $15 to $65. Definitely something for everyone and I have got my eye on a few things so had better get those hints dropped soon. The items will be on display in the front office window, which is very handy for selecting colours and scents (and getting, or hinting about, the right gift!). Order forms are due at the front office by Monday, 27 April 2015 and, in the interest of placing orders in time for distribution, late orders can’t be accepted.

This year, our Mother’s Day breakfast will again take place on the Friday morning before Mother’s Day, which is 8 May. This year the breakfast ends with the beginning of The Literature Festival 2015 Book Character Parade – two birds one stone and all that. Every student who dresses up in a costume to support the ‘Room to Read’ organisation will receive a small prize provided by the P&F.

Finally, please note that the keynote presentation at our Term 2 P&F meeting is about Wyvern’s gifted and talented program, and will be presented by Mr Baker and Mr Brayley. Mr Holden will also give us an update about the new Wyvern Flexible Learning Space and other initiatives in the school.

Easter is my favourite time of year and I’m so looking forward to it. Enjoy the break and hopefully wonderful sunny and crisp autumn weather, which I expect to find down the coast.

Until next time, be well and happy
