Dear Parents
I have already written to you three times this week on Covid related matters, so this will not be a long letter. We are all very sorry that we have had to cancel sport this Saturday. Last week’s Super Saturday went very well and the boys loved it. Hopefully this latest spike in the area dies down and we certainly don’t want to add to the transmission in any way.
We are however, trying to maintain as many of the special events with which we end the year. While camps and Prizegiving have had to be cancelled, we are planning some special events for the Grade 7s about which I will inform parents in the next few days. We will still have a championship gala, athletics trials, go-kart races and Bishops Got Talent and hopefully a few outings in place of the camps in the last week. Special arrangements will be made for each of these.
A highlight for the end of the year is always our Carol Service which is not possible this year. However, we will have a remote Carol Service for the first time, involving boys from the Pre-Prep, Prep and College, which is set to be sent out to the full Bishops community on the last evening of the term.
It’s difficult to replace a live physical event, but, as with Guy Pearson’s farewell, any member of our community, anywhere in the world will be able to watch and enjoy a whole school Carol Service at the same time.
May you have a great weekend.
Kind regards
GREG BROWN
