Principal's Welcome - Week 10, Term 2, 2022

Dear College families,
The last two and half years have left us all longing for a real holiday. We have learnt over the last few years to treasure the freedom's that comes with a real holiday; the freedom to sleep when you want, the freedom to travel where you want and, the freedom to see who you want. And now, as we approach the end of Term 2, it looks as if we may once again be able to enjoy those freedoms.
I am praying that each family will richly enjoy this holiday period, whether you are resting, travelling or cleaning out the pantry.
I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the wonderful staff team that I have the privilege of serving alongside each and every day. Each staff member enthusiastically gives of themselves so that our young people grow to become people who understand their purpose and have a genuine sense of belonging as they grow within this community. Their deep desire is that young people confidently lean in to life and strive to be excellent in all that they do. My hope is that all staff, parents and students over this break they will enjoy a change of pace and the feeling of rest that this brings.
In the third week of the holidays, staff will gather for a variety of professional development opportunities, including renewing First Aid certifications and various curriculum related sessions. These opportunities are powerful in ensuring that we are actively equipping our staff in order to best teach, lead and care for all those within our community.
Have a great break, everyone.
Felicity Marlow
Principal
