KingsWay School —

A Note from Graeme Budler, Executive Principal

Dear KingsWay Community,

Sadly, we have had to cancel this year’s production of Aladdin completely. Covid restrictions have made the decision more clear-cut, despite the best efforts of everyone to postpone and rearrange venues. We will send patrons the details on refunds shortly.

On a personal note, I want to reiterate how disappointed I am on the one hand, but amazingly proud of what the cast and crew achieved on the other. None of the gains from this experience is lost or wasted.

I also want to thank the parents, staff and particularly Claire Trebilco, Cherie Perrow, Jo Clayton, Sam Hagen and Sean Cleary for the work and effort given to this production. You are definitely second milers.

I am proud of you and thank you for your service to the community and for using your talents to bless others. If we ever get to have a prize-giving, we hope to showcase some of your abilities on the night.

I wish you all a relaxing weekend free from distance learning.

God bless,

Graeme Budler
Executive Principal

Middle School Notices

Thank you for the positive feedback on the Middle School Distance Learning programme. Some minor suggestions have been taken on board and this is helpful. Teachers report that students are punctual, respectful and diligent in their habits. If your child is not attending or not participating in online work over a period of time, the Homeroom teacher will touch base with you to gain a fuller understanding and make a plan so as to finish the term well.
