From the Principal’s Desk, 7 February 2020

Dear Parents

Schools, like all other institutions, often face challenges.  I was reminded of this during the week when a water pipe was accidentally cut during the renovations to the downstairs bathrooms.  Luckily, this was easily and quickly repaired, but not before the, already busy, bathrooms on the first floor flooded and we ended up escorting students to the bathrooms in the admin block.

Crisis management is often part of a normal school day and this is when everyone has an opportunity to step forward and assist.  This is our school and we want to create a culture of pride and excellence!  This requires that we all pick up litter, maintain parts of the garden and report faulty equipment in the building.  If we all work together, we can most certainly do better!

Our school community is of central importance and anything which could be potentially harmful to our students needs to dealt with in an open and honest manner.  Over the past two weeks, management has met with various year groups and their parents to discuss potential technological threats affecting our students.

In the light of this, management has contacted the Digital Law Company and we are happy to let you know that Emma Sadlier will address our school community next Thursday, 13th February.  Please visit the Quicket website and book your seats.  Her talk is applicable to students between the ages of 12-18 as she will be addressing the current trends on social media and the dangers parents need to be aware of.  We look forward to seeing you all at the talk next Thursday.

Have a lovely weekend.

Regards
Edna
