SES Welcome Assembly: 15 August 2017

We had a wonderful welcome assembly where we all the primary and secondary children considered the challenges and opportunities for the new academic year. The students watched 2 video clips and we discussed many things including having fun, working hard, not giving up and taking risks on their learning journey. The school was introduced to Mrs Liza our new Deputy Principal/Head of Primary and Year 4 teacher and Mr Paul, the Year 5 teacher. Mr Mike was not present at assembly as he was teaching a Montessori class with Miss Rini at that time. However, the students know who he is from their PE classes and seeing him around the school.

Jacob in Year 2 helped Mr Nick with a mind reading card trick. He chose a card that matched the prediction made by the principal that had been sealed in an envelope before the start of the assembly! Jacob must have magical powers.

We are looking forward to a productive, enjoyable and successful year at SES with a variety of exciting events and activities.

Welcome Back to School

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to the the start of a new academic year which, I hope will be an exciting learning journey for everyone. I am sure that you had a relaxing and enjoyable summer holiday and are ready for the challenges of 2017-2018. Whether you are a new or returning family, it is a great pleasure to have you in our community.

I know that you will welcome and support our new staff who have joined us. Mrs Liza is teaching Year 4 as well as being Deputy Principal/Head of Primary. Mr Paul is teaching Year 5 and Mr Mike is our new PE teacher. We hope they will enjoy their time with us.

It remains an honour and privilege to serve as your principal and be part of a community where parents, teachers and students work together to develop both academic and social growth. We have a strong partnership and together, I know that we will make this school year one of growth and achievement for all children. If you have any questions or comments please ask.

Class Teachers (Primary) and Tutors (Secondary) should be the first point of contact for general matters with your child(ren). Academic issues should be addressed to the relevant subject teacher. You can contact Mrs Liza regarding primary matters as she is the Head of that section.  Mrs Tehmine, Mrs Aulia and I are also available should you wish to speak with us.

I am looking forward to a successful, productive and enjoyable year!

Yours sincerely,

Nick Rowdene
