With an early Easter, term one has been a short nine week academic, sporting and cultural sprint. All the regular College events have been jam packed into what has been an eventful and productive term. As I reflect on the certificates and achievements acknowledged and presented at assembly throughout the term, I am reminded of the talent of our student body. This is fostered through hard work and dedication to training, preparation and good coaching. In a small College community such as ours, good will and volunteer contributions are the backbone of of a strong and successful co-curricular programme. Thank you to our staff, student leaders, caregiver helpers and the Board of Trustees for the valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise.
As today is the last day of term, we finish school slightly earlier in order to have our first parent teacher meetings. These are an opportunity to raise and resolve any issues that may be developing. With the newly implemented system for Attitude to Learning (previously called fortnightly indicators) just coming on-line, it is all the more important for caregiver's to touch base with staff. If you feel you would like longer to talk, feel free to make an appointment at the start of term two for a meeting or schedule a follow up phone call.
Last weekend, the College played host to the Catholic Secondary School Sports Tournament. This annual event involves 550 students from Roncalli, Kavanagh, Verdon, St Peter's and St Kevin's. It is designed to provide games as an introduction to the winter sports season. The various sporting codes took the the opportunity to explore combinations and tactics for the upcoming season and I was pleased to see plenty of emerging talent. Thank you to Sandra Kitto and Janelle Casey who so ably organised the event. I am particularly grateful to the staff and supporters who gave up their Sunday to help run the event which I am proud to say St Kevin's College won.
Finally, as we head off for the holidays, I wish everyone safe travel and a happy and holy Easter.
May God bless you this Easter season
