Principal's Message - Meaghan Cook
Term 2 has been an extraordinary school term.
The last term break was a flurry of activity over Easter, with so much work being done to ensure a smooth continuation of ‘learning from home’ for our students. Staff didn’t have much of an opportunity to rest in that time.
It was great that we could have our students back in classes with face-to-face learning sooner than anticipated. But I know it’s been demanding, particularly for our families. The migration to ‘at-home learning’, then a staged return followed by fully operational classrooms, marked an extremely challenging time.
I think we can all be pleased by how diligently we have managed all the challenges of Term 2 – and how successfully we have operated in the last five weeks. Your support for the strict protocols we have in place has been so appreciated as it has allowed our school gates to remain open and keep everyone safe.
