We have reached the end of a long term that has taken us from sunny autumn days through to the depths of a cold mid-winter.
If we tune in to the current news cycle it is easy to become despairing of news concerning war, famine, inequality, environmental degradation and unrest. Fortunately for us all we have a counter balance to this with all that is brought through the cultural life of the school.
Over the last few weeks alone we have had individual classes and our whole community involved in festivals, ceremonies, concerts, plays and more. The joy, hope, reverence and inspiration that is inherent in these events can make us feel confident in a bright future.
Being witness to so many wonderful young people sharing their individual and collective gifts through performance is heartening and inspirational. In our education, we hold a special place for these events, knowing just how valuable they are for all of us in the present moment and to take into the future.
We wish all of our community, both near and far, a very happy and restful winter break.
