We may well look back at the lockdown term with a sense of achievement in a few years’ time.
With every best effort, we have been able to not just survive a different 10 weeks of learning; for nearly every person, staff, student and parent, we’ve learnt new skills and knowledge. Well done Thomas Hassall members.
Were you able to join in on THACTV last night for the Family Fun Night? It was a great occasion with lots of laughs. Thanks to all those who competed; and others who sent through their photos; a special thanks to our production team; director for the night, Carmen Pasapera, and our wonderful hosts, Annabelle Wood and Stuart McCormack who were brilliant in their adaption and wit during throughout the evening.
The final assemblies for the Term occur tomorrow Thursday at 11.00am for Junior School and 1.00pm for Senior School. Again the assemblies will be shown on THACTV and parents are most welcome to login and enjoy a reflection and celebration of the term.
Year 12 students begin their final phase of learning towards the HSC which will test out their resilience and motivation. Teachers are reaching out to them as well and we wish them well.
With the Premier moving the State towards return to school from October 25 the College has a committee in place to plan for students to be back on site. While we are still 6 weeks away, and a lot of change is still to occur, there will be questions for you and your family about the plan.
We will come to you at the start of Term 4 with clear set of points for your information including notices about bus travel arrangements and entry and exit from College each day for every person. Please also take note of the announcements about education from the authorities.
For the next 2 weeks it is time to take a break; to reflect on the last few weeks and to take care of one another in your family setting.
The term will resume remotely on Wednesday 6 October 2021 with our Blended Learning Online Program.
Thanks again for your support during this very different term – Term 3 2021; a term to remember.
‘We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.’ 1 Thessalonians 1:3
