Week 8, Spring Term 2020
Dear Boarding Families
Just a quick note this morning to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year break! This year has been a strange one (to say that least!) and I think that everyone deserves a nice quiet and calm break to recharge batteries and appreciate the truly special things in life: family, friends, gratitude and good health.
We have had some special times in boarding in the past two weeks, with our Christmas breakfast, some Secret Santa gift giving amongst the Houses and last night we had a very special farewell dinner for Mr Bradley, Mr Keatch and Mr Bennett, who between them have contributed over 60 years of service to Scotch boarding! We wish them all well as they embark on the next phases of their careers, with Mr Bennett and Mr Bradley in the day school and Mr Keatch accepting a new challenge as Head of Boarding at Launceston Grammar.
I want to extend a special thank you to all our staff in boarding, including those in the Health Centre for all their hard work and all the care that they put into their interactions with the boys. We are all part of a very special community and we work together very well. We all have the common goal of providing the best possible service to our families and we are all very lucky to have such a fun and rewarding job. It is a joy and a privilege to work alongside our boarding families and we wish everyone all the very best for the Christmas break.
Warm regards
Jordan
