As I write this, we sit on the cusp of our Christmas break and perhaps more than ever, in these challenging times, we can all appreciate the need for a pause.

We enjoyed a beautiful Carol Service led by Emeritus Archbishop Sir David Moxon on Sunday evening. It was a timely reminder that in our busyness, Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and reflect as we anticipate a new year filled with hope and new opportunities.

Let us remember the most vulnerable, the least, the lost, and the left out, and let us serve with an abundance of joy to make the love of Christ Jesus known in our world.

To our staff, board members, and parent and Old Girl volunteers, we thank you for your devoted service this year. Blessings of peace to you and your families this Christmas.

To our departing staff members, graduates, students and families leaving us this year to attend other schools, we wish you all the best. We have loved having you as part of our school community. We hope you keep in touch.

May we all be enriched and renewed through this joyous season of Advent and Christmas and abundantly blessed in 2023.

Meri Kirihimete.

Blessings,

Mary Curran
