Student and Staff Leadership, The Wiz: Leading in the Performing Arts and Leading with a Growth Mindset.

There are a number of topics which I want to touch on briefly this week.

Students in Years 6 and 7 were given the opportunity to combine creativity, musicality, science and information technology in this new initiative.

Last week finished with the wonderful celebration of 100 days of school for our Prep girls. It was gratifying to see each girl cross the stage to receive her certificate and to reflect on how much has been learnt in such a short time at School. There is nothing quite like hearing our youngest voices sing the School Song to send you home with a smile!

Julia Spagna (Year 10) has been named as part of the Australian All Stars Indoor Cricket Team for 2014.

If you have walked through the School this week, you may have noticed many of the glass surfaces covered in colourful writing. A closer inspection will have revealed that much of this writing takes the form of  mathematics problems which the girls have been encouraged to work through in a space where others can see them.

It was wonderful to see everyone back at school after the break and to share together in a whole School assembly where we enjoyed hearing 2 of the items from the Term 2 Evening of Song again.

Year 11 Visual Communication and Design students have partnered with Year 3 students to develop a series of books inspired by the 'Little Miss' series.

Years 3-12 gathered for a special and historic event at Lowther Hall: The official unveiling of the portrait of former Principal Carolyn Grantskalns, completed by celebrated artist Juan Ford.

Term 2 is certainly finishing with a great deal of energy! This week we enjoyed the Winter String festival – which provided a wonderful opportunity for string players of all ages across the school to perform, and at lunchtimes we have been serenaded by many Senior School and Junior School girls who learn the piano, in our series of Piano Festival Concerts.
