It’s been an interesting first week for every family, student and staff member, hasn’t it?

Thank you to you all for such a calmness in the reintroduction of the Blended Learning Online.  For the most part, it seems that engagement levels are high and the communication is positive.  At the same time, if there are any issues we need to hear about them.  Contact can be made at the class level with teachers, or at College level by emailing or calling the College, we have staff available throughout the day to help you.

The College Captains have sent a message of encouragement through to Senior School students this week through their PC classes.  I wanted to share this video message with our College Community as it is an uplifting one, you can view the message in this edition. Sreya and Tino are leading well. Year 12 students are once again having to manage the uncertainty of their last term programs, and we are working with them through the issues.  For those heading to university in 2022, there is a general optimism that universities are very keen to have their enrolment numbers at a maximum, which provides an advantage for young people considering university next year.

The College social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram are also bringing key messages to our families and friends.  You are able to keep up to date with general news and highlights through our social media sites.  This week Rev. David Ould from St John's Anglican Cathedral Parramatta and also a College parent asked me for an interview for the Facebook page.  You can view this online.

We are pleased that the staff at the College are now able to receive their vaccinations as part of the priority program for education staff in the south-west.  As the links came through this week staff have been quick to access the booking sites. 

Let's stand together as a community at this time, should you or your family need a helping hand at this time please call on us and we will find ways to assist you.  It is a critical time in the community, and we all need to take extra care of those around us.

Thank you again at this time for your consideration, understanding and goodwill.
