Thank you to everyone who came along to our annual Family Orientation Evening held in the school hall on Wednesday, 5 September 2007.
The evening was a great success, with our largest turnout ever. It was very pleasing to see so many parents and teachers mingling and chatting to each other, getting themselves introduced and generally enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. With a fine selection of snacks and refreshments prepared by our school caterers, Cafe Concepts, everyone welcomed the opportunity to get to know each other a little better.
Our revised Expected Schoolwide Learning Results, and statements of purpose, mission and vision were presented, and our preparations for the upcoming WASC Self-Study and school visit were explained. Parents were invited to read through these updated statements and to forward any comments directly to me.
After this short presentation, parents in our elementary school were invited to meet with their teachers, finding out more about the program they will follow this year. Middle School and High School teachers remained in the hall and spoke with parents about their programs and some of their objectives for the weeks and months ahead.
Aroung 7.15pm, everyone was invited to take a walk through the new high school campus to see the new classrooms, recess areas and of course the new pool. Expertly assisted and guided by a volunteer group of high school senior students, teachers and parents strolled through the new campus, visiting classrooms and admiring the new facilities.
It really was a lovely evening and a perfect way for our school community to begin the new year.
