Family Nights

Last week’s Year 10 Family Night brought to a conclusion the Family Nights program that has taken place throughout Term 1. All up there have been 8 different nights over 5 weeks. Each year level has its own style and focus for the evening, taking into account the stage of schooling and particular needs of the cohort.

On behalf of families, I’d like to thank the teachers, non-teaching staff and student leaders who made these nights possible. We really appreciate their support and generosity.

I’d also like to thank all the families who attended. Your interest, support and involvement in the learning of your child are very much appreciated. As the first and most important educators of your children never underestimate the importance of your presence. Little things mean a lot!

“Family life is like a broad peaceful river, in which children are like sponges soaking up the water in which they are immersed. Everything in life educates.

At home, it is in the thousand apparently insignificant happenings of everyday life that young people learn how to judge things, how to behave and what to expect from life. They often pick up some of the strongest messages about our values and way of acting when we least expect it.”  (Bruno Ferror)
