Welcome to this week’s newsletter!
Folks,
What a week it’s been. Last week’s Muddy Monday deserves a special mention. Wellies on, sleeves rolled up, and spirits high – the children staff! and community set about “winterising” our grounds with a gusto that would make Monty Don proud. From digging and tidying to preparing our outdoor spaces for the colder months, it was teamwork at its finest. A huge thank you to everyone who sent in scruffs, tools, and even wheelbarrows – and an extra thanks to those parents who mucked in with us.
But there’s a bigger lesson in there, too. Perspective. From one angle, it was just a muddy morning – boots caked, clothes grubby, and the promise of a long wash cycle at home. From another, it was children learning resilience, cooperation, and pride in a job well done, and in their school. Lest we forget the very purpose that the school is there is for the kids. No one else. It is there school, of which we are just custodians. Life’s a lot like that: the view you choose often shapes the story you tell yourself.
That’s why at St George’s we keep urging our children to process their experiences – to ask, “What does this say about me? What did I learn? How can I use it tomorrow?” Because when we zoom out, we often see that the things which felt messy in the moment are the very things that grow us.
As Corinthians reminds us, “For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.” Perspective isn’t perfect, but it’s powerful.
So thank you again for your support, your trust, and your positivity. Mud on our boots, smiles on our faces, perspective in our pockets – we keep moving forward together.
