Strength, Spirit & Spring in the Air
Here we are, the second week of Lent, and everywhere you look, there are signs of growth—both in the world around us and in our children. The first hints of spring are creeping in, there’s excitement in the classrooms, and the school is buzzing with motivation and energy. RE Focus Week has been phenomenal, with children embracing faith, understanding, and the richness of different traditions. Curricular hooks have sparked curiosity, igniting passion for learning and proving once again that St George’s is a place where education isn’t just something we do—it’s something we live and breathe.
But, as we know, life brings its challenges too. Thomas Norris is taking compassionate leave to be with his mother as she battles an unexpected, and rapidly advancing illness. As always, we step up together—adjusting, supporting, and making sure our Year 6 children continue to thrive. Rob, Anne, and I will be stepping into the classroom, and while this means a few behind-the-scenes tweaks, we remain as committed as ever to making every day count.
Bob Marley said it best: “You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.” And that’s exactly what Thomas needs to be now, and your mates at school will lift you up when you return.
Let’s keep going, keep supporting each other, and keep making this journey one to be proud of. 💙✨
