I don’t think I could have designed a more intense first week if I had tried – new student inductions, first days of school, hurricane watch, ever shifting Covid protocols. Despite it all, we have had a wonderful start to the academic year as the school has roared back to life fueled by the insatiable energy of our students.
With the week drawing to a close, I would like to thank everyone – staff, students and families – for their dedication, hard work and support in launching the 2021/22 academic year. Each week will inevitably bring its challenges whether it be the weather, Covid or some other hurdle and we must all strive to be resilient, resourceful and responsive in the face of these provocations; and as a community, to tackle them head on.
May I invite everyone to stop for a moment and take a collective deep breath of gratitude for being part of the Somersfield family and for the promise and potential of the year ahead.
Let the magic begin.
Happy weekend,
Peter
