Head of Primary

Mrs Nicole Smith | Head of Primary
Kindness knows no bounds
Last week I spoke to the students about the changes that are rapidly happening in our world and the importance of continuing to be kind and thoughtful to those around us.
Even though we are having to physically distance ourselves from our friends and teachers, that does not stop us from connecting, encouraging, and showing kindness to those we encounter each day.
We just need to be creative. Words are so very powerful and a kind and encouraging word even said from a distance can brighten a person’s day.
Over the coming weeks many things may change and look different. Our routines, rhythms and patterns will change, but in all of this it is important to note that we have a God who is unchanging. His love and care for all His people never ends and His mercies are new each and every day.
Lessons online
Our Primary teachers, Specialist teachers and Support staff are all very busy working to pull together programs that will assist us as a school. The platforms that teachers will be communicating with you on, will be email. Teachers are also planning to hold mini-lessons using Microsoft Teams. There will be more information coming home about this in the days ahead.
