Perhaps you can even think back to your first day at Kindergarten. What do you remember? Who did you meet and do you still know that person today?
First day experiences, whether at school or work or family experiences are life changing times aren’t they? There is a mixture of emotions, excitement, nervousness, optimism, anxiety, positive and hope.
We know that for your child whether they are in Prep or Kindergarten; Year 7 or Year 12, the first day – the first week needs guidance and assistance from the wise adults in your life – Mums and Dads; Classroom Teachers; School Leaders. Let your children know that they have teachers and staff at College who can help in every area.
The 2018 year moves into full pace quite quickly. Our Swimming Carnivals occur quickly; the Senior School students move to their Camping Program next week with a focus on the year ahead; and class work generally expects the students to become organised and active in their learning.
New staff to the College have been introduced and welcomed at Assemblies and you will now read about them in this newsletter. The Oval and Physical Education Centre work continues throughout Term 1 to be completed soon after Easter.
We will soon call for Volunteers to be part of the Class Parent Network – our version of the Parents and Friends of the College and we look forward to a number of occasions to build community throughout the year.
2018 is shaping up to be an exciting time. We look forward to meeting new families and we trust you will have all of your family’s learning needs met here at Thomas Hassall Anglican College.
