From the Head of Junior School
If only you were able to see and hear the buzz of excitment around the campus this week. I listened to the Secondary School Association President Vaughan Couillault say that teaching is a contact sport. He is accurate as contact between and amongst teachers and pupils to engage, support and teach is the magical ingredient in any school.
However, in saying this, the past few weeks have been confirmation that excellent teaching and learning can still take place at home, even if a Year 1 student told her mother that she can quit teaching now that she has gone back to school!
Regardless, witnessing your daughter's delight in seeing her classmates and teacher again was a wonderful experience and one of my favourite this year.
Level 2 Reminders:
- Please do not send your daughter to school if they are unwell or have cold symptoms of any sort.
- The entrance to the school will be the main gate on Winchester Street (beside Maggie’s Cafe).
- No parents are permitted to enter the school gates.
- Teachers and the Senior Leadership Team will be at the gates, ready to welcome the girls into the school from 8.00 am. Please do not drop your daughter off before this time.
- Girls will meet you at the same gate, ready for pick up at the usual finishing times.
- Bought lunches are returning as per normal from next week. BREAKING NEWS: Pizza is back on the cafe menu!
After School Care
After School Care will be available but must be prearranged with Caroline caroline.fletcher@stmargarets.school.nz. When you email to book, please also state a pre-arranged pick-up time so that the supervisors can escort girls to the main gate ready for collection.
