As always, I thank parents who support the school in so many ways. We receive emails and phone calls from parents thanking and acknowledging the school for providing so much for their children. We appreciate this kind of support. It is important though that I share some of our concerns with all parents and provide the school’s perspective on various issues. There are times when as a school, we need to ‘place our flag in the sand’ as it were and state unambiguously what we stand for.
We are five weeks into the term and everyone has adjusted to the COVID restrictions. We have been fortunate in that, to date, we have had very few COVID cases. The move to level 1 and our protocols in place has allowed us to introduce a variety of activities. There is a positive and happy atmosphere on campus and we thank our children for the manner in which they have adapted to the changes.
As we move into the final stretch of what has been a challenging year, we are left with many unanswered questions. What is the ‘new norm’ and how can we best prepare our children for the unknown?
When the 1st term ended so abruptly in the middle of March, little did we know what lay ahead of us. Zoom, OneNote and Microsoft Teams was new territory as was planning and delivering of online lessons.
A Woodridge fundraiser has provided much needed sustenance to over 3500 individuals.
It is wonderful to have many happy young men and women back on Campus and to watch their smiling faces as they arrived and greeted friends and staff. They have settled in and the place is again filled with laughter, learning and people! We wait in anticipation to having everyone back.
