Term 1 Week 4
Thank you to all staff for keeping our school running so smoothly. I appreciate everyone's patience with me - getting to know the school, its routines and the kids. It has been a whirlwind few weeks and a massive learning curve for me. I know there have been a few hiccups, but I, along with all of you, am human - I will make mistakes along the way and perhaps do things differently or make decisions you disagree with. Please come and talk with me if you have any issues or concerns. My door is 99% open!
At the bottom of this week's memo is a link to a 'Learn to Meditate' video. I am mindful of our workloads and the need to look after ourselves. I hope you all make some time each day to do things that you enjoy and make you happy.
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
