A Message from Mr Holden

The term is rapidly slipping away and as we eye the end of term, I am pleased to provide an update about some of our end of term events.

During Week 7 (23 – 27 November) we will hold our K-2 Presentation Ceremonies and Sports Awards Assembly. These will all be live streamed with parents receiving invites in the coming days.

On Friday 4 December we are planning to have our 3-6 Annual Prize Giving Day at 8.45am as an outside event at the senior school. This means that we are able to invite one parent per 3-6 family to attend. We will also live stream this event and invites with a link will be sent out soon. In the event of wet weather, we will relocate to Centenary Hall where, unfortunately only a limited number of parents and students will be able to attend (Prize winners and Year 6 students with one parent for each family). Let’s keep fingers crossed for a sunny day! The end of the 3-6 Prize Giving ceremony marks the official end of the school year.

I am pleased to share some exciting news that another Wyvern student, Robert Walker, has been awarded a NSW Young Scientist of the Year Award. I would also like to acknowledge the wonderful efforts of Zachary Amirian’s community service through the ‘Kids Giving Back’ charity.

Finally, the school took a few moments on 11 November at 11:00am to mark Remembrance Day. Seeing all boys, from Kindy through to our eldest students, observing a minute’s silence with respect and sincerity was a fitting way to pay tribute to the great sacrifices made by service men and women in past conflicts.

Artist of the Week

3 – 6 Artist of the Week

This week, the Artist of the Week comes from Year 4. The boys have been studying traditional ways of painting, making use of layers and also practising their short sharp brushstrokes to create the illusion of feathers. The boys also learnt to draw their bird using a grid, consolidating their noticing muscles.

Congratulations to Jacob Lim, Oliver White and Hamish Walker for their exceptional pieces.

Please remember…

During Term 4 we will be conducting fittings for the new 2021 students at every opening of the shop – so limited walk in customers will be allowed in store and you may experience delays, so it’s best to order your uniforms online. Please also remember that access to the uniform shop is now via the car park ramp entrance on Cambridge Street. Also, we no longer accept cash in store (MasterCard, Visa and Eftpos only).
