I hope this update finds you and your
families well. This week has marked three special events. We celebrated Labour
Day, Coronation Day to honour King Maha Vajiralongkorn and, today, King Charles
III’s Coronation Day.
Despite the shorter school week, we have
been busy and productive. On Monday, we held our twice annual CPL day, which
provided an opportunity for our teachers to engage in professional learning
across a range of disciplines. We were extremely fortunate to have Tom
Sherrington as our keynote speaker, who continues supporting us with evidenced
based classroom practices. I was pleased to see so many parents in attendance
at Tom's workshop on Tuesday, which was an excellent opportunity to gain
further insight into our ethos and pedagogy.
With the especially warm temperatures set
to continue, please be assured we are actively monitoring the Heat Index and
our Heat Management Guidelines at all times. We want to ensure that our students
and staff are safe and comfortable during hot weather, and we take all
necessary measures to prevent heat-related illnesses. Please feel free to
contact us if you have any questions.
