End of Year Message, 2013

Only nine school days left. It’s hard to believe that the holiday season has arrived again. This past year we have seen and experienced a variety of achievements and successes right across all the year groups and in every part of the school and we are ending the Sesquicentenary year with brighter, and bigger boys than we started it with. We all have much to be proud of and grateful for.

Congratulations to the Year 6 boys. We wish you all the very best and hope that you are as confident about your move to high school as you should be. You’re lucky to have progressed through your primary years at Wyvern House and I hope you continue to be lucky in the pursuit of your dreams. You will have, as you’ve just had, first-class teachers, programs and facilities to prepare you for the next stage of your life.

For those of us still at Wyvern House next year, One-Up Day will be on Tuesday, 3 December and should be great fun for the boys. The Uniform Shop will be open from 8.00am-11.00am and 2.30pm-3.30pm for parents who want to get ahead of the new year uniform rush.

If you can’t make it to the Uniform Shop by the end of the term and need a fitting for your boy(s), we will also be opening the Uniform Shop before Term 1 2014 starts from 7.30am-11:00am on both Thursday, 23 January and Friday, 24 January 2014.

I spent a bit of time thanking people in my previous note, so this time I will keep it short and send a blanket thank you to every parent, carer, friend and family member who has volunteered for the school this year. Wyvern House would not have the same community spirit without you.

The most special thanks of all go to the staff of Wyvern House. We are blessed to have such caring and capable people looking after our children.

I do hope you enjoy the opportunity to recharge the batteries and change the routine, which hopefully includes more sleeping in or at least staying in your pyjamas until later in morning. So, with a New Year full of promise ahead of us, I wish you a very Merry Christmas, happy holidays and all the best for 2014.

I do hope to see you at the Welcome Picnic, the Welcome Cocktail Party or hopefully, both.

Until next time, be well and happy.
