I wanted to write to you this week regarding our plans for holding events for the remainder of the year.
As you are all aware, due to the current COVID-19 landscape, this year we have had to scale things back throughout the College event calendar.
However, in taking the first steps to move forward, we are investigating innovative ways in which we can organise events that balance the social and emotional needs of students whilst being simultaneously safe from a health perspective. One of the first initiatives to be introduced in this area is a house based sporting competition to be run during lunchtimes in Term 4 where students in the same grade will complete against one another in a variety of team sports. We feel that this is an event that can be run within COVID-safe principles and will offer a wider variety of opportunities to deepen collegiality and comradery between our students.
One event in particular that is of interest to our Junior School community is the Year 6 dinner. I am pleased to inform you that this event will be going ahead at the end of the year. The dinner has always been an important way for our Year 6 students to celebrate the achievement of reaching the end of their primary school lives. Whilst there will be some necessary modifications to this event, it is our goal for the essence of the event to be retained.
Thank you for your continued partnership with the College community as we work together to navigate this changed events space.

Junior School Director of Operations & Welfare
