I am overjoyed that we have been given permission to return to classes.

Firstly I wanted to thank all the teachers for their dedication to their school tasks and their extremely hard work preparing the online classes and assignments and to working with their students in such a collaborative way.

Secondly to you the students I congratulate you for your attention to your classes and working your way through this very challenging school year so far.

And to all the parents I know how difficult this has been for many of you balancing your work commitments with home schooling and trying to keep your children motivated and interested in their schoolwork during lockdown – a very big shout out to you all.
