Welcome back to Term 3! We hope that you had a wonderful break with your family and enjoyed some special times together. There was such a buzz in the crisp, cool morning air on Monday morning as I welcomed students back to school while on Drop Off Duty. Winter has well and truly set in! As a Queenslander and a lover of the beach, I am not a big fan of Winter. Give me days of warmth and sunshine, and balmy summer evenings any day.

Does your family have a favourite season? One thing that fascinates me about seasons are the ways they transition and change. When the cold Winter slowly warms up to the warmth and new life of Spring, and when Spring warms up to welcome the longer days of Summer, it’s a reminder of the continuous cycle of renewal and change. The shift from season to season brings new opportunities, new activities, and new experiences for our students and their families.

Our school family is currently in a season of change in regards to our Leadership Team. Further details around this will be communicated by Prescott Schools SA. We, as adults and children, all embrace change in our own way, working through the emotions and growth that comes with a change of season. We may ponder, reflect and remember where we have come from, the season we have just had, or perhaps we are one to jump ahead, eyes forward and run into the new season awaiting us. Seasons of change can also be connected to our spiritual journey with God. God can use different seasons to grow us, shape us and prepare us for what is yet to come.

So whether you are hanging out for the sunshine and warmer days, like I am, or thoroughly enjoying rugging up in this cooler weather, no matter which season you prefer, each one offers its own unique joys and challenges. It's wonderful to see our students adapt and thrive through these changes, whether they are bundling up in winter layers or wearing hats and sunscreen.

As we embark on Term 3, let’s embrace the current season and look forward to the journey ahead. Encourage your children to appreciate the beauty and experiences each season brings. We are looking forward to another term filled with learning, growth, and fun activities, such as Book Week, and PE Week. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our Prescott family. Let’s make this term a memorable one!

Blessings,

Tamara
