Moving beyond the halfway mark of Term 3, the Junior School continues to be a hive of energy, creativity and connection. The way in which students, staff and parents alike engaged in our Book an Adventure, Children’s Book Week celebrations, was outstanding. From homemade costumes to crafty hot air balloons displayed in the Library, Senior School students reading with Junior Primary boys and yet another magical Book Parade, it was a joy to celebrate our strong reading culture across the week. I’d like to extend my gratitude to the Library team for their enthusiasm for all things literary and the planning the went into such a successful week.

Over the last fortnight, we have also enjoyed Intercollegiate fixtures with PAC, Robotics State Championships, Assembly, ICAS Competitions, and Photo Days (skilfully navigated between interspersed doses of rain).  We’ve celebrated Music Eisteddfod successes, the Psychologists Art Competition, and the close of a positive winter sport season.

Thank you to parents for supporting your sons in their incredibly varied pursuits. We love working with your sons and couldn’t do what we do without your support. We look forward to welcoming families in Week 8 to further celebrate the boys’ growth and goals at our 3 Way Conference meetings.

Have an excellent weekend!
