I am writing this to you at the end of Week 2 of Blended Learning Online.
I hope that things are going well with your family and that you are navigating the lockdown. I wanted to bring an encouraging message to you about the progress of staff and students.
Firstly, I wanted to highlight Pyjama day and the amazing uptake of students of that event. While holding an event like Pyjama day will present some challenges, we are really encouraging students to take the opportunity to think about people in need at this time. You can see what some of our students got up to in the article below.
To continue the fun, next Friday we will celebrate Green and Gold Day. This could be an opportunity for families to show their support for Australian Athletes participating in the Olympic Games. Please share with us what that looks like for your family by emailing [email protected]
There is such excellent and thought-provoking work happening around the Junior School at the moment. Some examples of this include:
- Prep students making a musical instrument out of recycled materials and then singing a song that demonstrates their creative and critical thinking skills
- Students in Kindergarten giving a scientific description of how things move
- Year 6 answering the questions: Why can understanding your identity be so confusing in this world and explaining how knowing you’re a child of God is so comforting! One student even answered question one by saying that 'social media makes us feel so insecure even though we are actually totally fine.'
I wanted to sign off by saying hang in there, we are all in this together!
