Psalm 133 verse 1: How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
It is so great to be back together again! It is wonderful to be teaching my students face to face and experiencing life in community with staff and students on campus.
All of us have missed the human interaction that was denied us during lockdown. To be able to once again share lighter moments together as we walk through the playground or read the expressions of our students to determine their understanding (albeit behind a mask), has really raised the spirits of everyone. It has been fantastic to see so many of the practical subjects being able to once again engage.
I have visited science classes crystallising copper sulphate products and construction classes learning how to lay bricks recently. Smiling students pleased to be working on tactile physical projects. I hope that you have noticed a buoyancy to your children as they return home from school after a day of learning and socialising in community with their friends and teachers.
It’s an important week ahead for our Year 12 students who begin their HSC examinations. Let’s continue to have them in our prayers.
