As we come to the last few weeks of Term 4 we are busily planning for 2022.
There is a sense that 2022 will afford us a fresh start in terms of a whole group of activities.
These include:
⇒ Our biannual musical. Planning and rehearsals for Shrek the Musical are well underway. Whilst the main parts have been cast there is plenty of opportunities for students to get involved in areas of dance, chorus or general production.
⇒ A revamped Sport Plan which includes: MISA, NASSA and CIS representative opportunities across a wide range of sports.
⇒ Establishment of the Athletics Precinct which will allow us to focus on developing skills and training in specialist areas such as high jump/long jump, sprinting and general middle and long distance running.
⇒ Targeting additional areas of Sporting Excellence: e.g. Athletics, Tennis and review of the former Swimming Program
⇒ A relaunch of the Duke of Edinburgh Leadership Scheme.
⇒ A revamped Ensemble and Band program/ Camp/ Performance Events
⇒ Planning for overseas trips in 2023-25: Japan, Europe and Kokoda
⇒ Establishing the Student Representative Council giving greater voice to students
⇒ A relaunch of the College Club Program that included anything from craft, chess and robotics to calligraphy, and gardening.
There is a sense that the year to come will be no less challenging as ‘living with COVID-19' is still a work in progress, but there is the promise of new opportunities and a sense of adventure as we head into a new year.
I thank God for our College community and look forward to the celebrations of Christmas and meeting together with family.
