Dear Parents
I came across a very thought-provoking poster this week that confirmed all that we are really trying hard to achieve, particularly with our Grade N group. It said: Please give me time to experience my world. Let me touch a tree and smell the rain, see the sunset and hear the birds. Then when I read and write those words, I will understand what they truly mean. We trust each day is filled with new experiences, laughter and discovery. This year, our first Grade N group of boys are now happily settled in Grade 1 and are very ready to read and write all these words! We look forward to a wonderful year with all our boys at the Pre-Prep.
Thank you to all those new parents who joined us at the cocktail function last night. It was lovely to get to chat to you in a more relaxed setting. We trust that you have all settled in well and that Bishops is all that you expected it to be, and more!
We would like to wish Mrs Nazli Meredith a wonderful birthday on Saturday 26th and Ms Shemone Rudolph, our intern a Happy Birthday for Thursday 24th.
We have had our first week of afternoon sport. Please ensure that your boys know what activity they will participate in after school and that they have the correct kit to be able to participate. No school based-sport is cancelled as regardless of the weather, boys will be supervised for the duration of the usual extra mural time. Private coaches will notify parents should there be a change in their schedule.
Please can I encourage you to keep checking the online term calendar for any changes. Most information is available on our website.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Kind regards
