Reflections 

The Easter break has come and gone!  I hope it provided a much-needed pause, allowing us all to rejuvenate and recharge. It was nice to hear the laughter, students calling out to their friends as they arrived, staff catching up on what their holidays were like, playground sounds and all the hustle and bustle that will soon be part of our regular routines for another term.  The students are eager to embrace new challenges and opportunities for learning. 

There will be opportunities for students to explore new content, participate in exciting school activities, and continue their academic growth. Once again parents and guardians’ involvement are crucial to our collective success.  We have started the term with parent/teacher interviews and our dedicated teachers have spent time discussing the students’ progress from Term 1.  In this review of students’ performance their strengths and areas of potential growth are highlighted.  This process has prompted me to think—how often do we take time to reflect on what we have done well, where we need to improve and how we are going to go about it?   

Solomon says in Proverbs 4:1, “Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.” Who do you listen to? How attentive are you to your engagements? How much understanding are you gaining?
