Like many of our staff members and students you may well be asking ‘Where did this year go?’ Personally, I am asking, ‘Where did the last forty four years go?’. The answer is simple -  working in wonderful schools with many delightful and talented students, supportive parents and generous staff members.

Holy Spirit is by far the longest I have worked in any school. Like all staff members, there are challenges but there is also joy in working in the school. Seeing children grow in confidence and skill is why we do what we do.

Tonight we farewell our Year 6 students and fifty of their families who have made a significant contribution to our school. On behalf of our staff members we wish these students and their families all of God’s goodness.

As we prepare for the joyful season of Christmas, I hope that the preparation is not so consuming that you miss the main event of celebrating the birth of Christ.

Thank you for your kind wishes, your friendly acknowledgement but mostly what you do for our school community. 

May God continue to bless you in abundance!
