A Message from Mr Holden
It is hard to imagine that we are already at the half way point of the term which, as usual, has been action packed. This has especially been the case over the last few days with boys participating in exciting Science week activities organised by Ms Bosch (STEM teacher) as well as a number of presentations from visiting authors organised by Mrs Barnes in the library.
The process for allocating students to next year’s classes is thorough and starts in Term 4. As part of this process some parents may feel that they can assist by offering additional information about their son. Should you wish to express a view about the style of classroom management you feel may best suit your son (e.g. particularly nurturing or greater structure, etc.) I invite you to contact me via email before the end of this term. Please note that I cannot consider requests submitted later than this deadline. Requests for particular teachers or for a teacher based on his or her gender will not be considered in this process. Whilst we do welcome parental input in the process, the school has the final say in decisions regarding class placement for 2018.
It is with some sadness that I inform you, that after many areas of outstanding service to the Wyvern community, Rev Peter Morphew has decided that, at the end of this year, it will be the right time for him to leave the College to spend more time with his family and to offer more support to his local church. Whilst there will be time in coming weeks to reflect on and celebrate Rev Morphew’s wonderful contribution to the school, I do want to take the opportunity to thank him for his selfless and dedicated care of boys, staff and parents of Wyvern over many years. We have all benefitted from Rev Morphew’s great wisdom and compassion. He has been a superb servant of the whole College community and we wish him every blessing as he moves into a new phase of his life.
Ian Holden
Head of Wyvern House
