On Monday, the students were welcomed with colourful balloon arches at College entrances for their first day of 2022.
It was a cheerful way to start the year and the smiles of students reconnecting with friends was a treasured sight to see.
The first week has been settled and students have been excited to start in their new classes, eager for the learning journeys to begin as students now in the next grade up from last year. As I’ve visited classrooms, I’ve heard students sharing their aspirations for the year ahead – ‘what is exciting about being in Year 6?’ and setting new goals as the students are nurtured to grow in excellence in Learning, Wisdom and Service.
On behalf of all the Junior School Staff, I extend a very warm welcome to new families starting at the College. The staff are looking forward to connecting with you and building strong partnerships in the year ahead. For all our families, if you have any questions or queries please email your child’s teacher and they would be happy to assist.
Our Parent Teacher Information Sessions (via Zoom) will be held on Thursday 17 February in the afternoon where you can meet your child’s teacher and have an opportunity to ask your questions. More details to come shortly.
I would like to introduce our new Director of Operations and Welfare (Junior School) Mrs Kylie Singles. She is a passionate, experienced leader and is excited to be part of the team. You may have already met her out and about in the mornings and afternoons. Join me in welcoming her into our community at Thomas Hassall.
Thank you for a strong start to the term and we look forward to teaching your children in 2022.
