Schools are about more than academics. They are communities where we learn to interact with one another. Prep 2022 reminded us that we are all part of a community and that our values help shape who we are, and how we approach school and life.

After the past two years, our Preps were happy to engage in social play with one another, one of our major focuses. The girls embraced having their peers to interact with, as well as their Year 5 buddies. Empathy was shown as the girls helped one another create magical fairy lands, dream up many a craft activity into reality, build towers and villages with blocks, engage in acting and much more.

The girls demonstrated their perseverance, and it was heart-warming to witness the support they provided one another. Members of the class, without prompting, often shared a word of encouragement with one another.

Through The Resilience Project, the girls explored gratitude. The Preps were so grateful to be able to have so many occasions to dress up for this year. Engaging in the Easter Bonnet Parade, 100 Days of Prep, a Touch of Red day, and Book Week, to name but a few.

How lucky we are to have Preps so ready to engage with their School.

I know their curiosity and love of learning will continue for years to come.
