How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it's afternoon. December here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? – Dr Seuss
How can the same year feel so long, and yet so short at the same time? The concept of time being elastic, stretching and compacting, is one I often talk about. If 2021 was a rubber band then it certainly stretched and condensed in places (not without a snap-back along the way).
Through it all, we have felt immensely supported by our community, especially when we’ve had to put in hard restrictions, make changes or drop events. Regardless, you understood and rallied with us – making the hard choices that much easier.
We are incredibly proud of the progress of our students this year, their achievements and their growth – academically, socially and emotionally. It is a very special team of staff at Speers Point who have all worked extraordinarily hard this year to provide for their students. I could not be more proud of our students and our staff.
We see off an amazing Year 6 cohort on Thursday, ready for Year 7 2022. Having now been with Speers Point for 10 years (the decade of Payne) it’s a special moment to see a Year 6 group transition on, having welcomed them into the school as Kinder in that elastic band of time that felt like not too long ago at all.
So from all of us here at Speers Point we wish you a safe, relaxing and enjoyable (sun soaked) holidays. Amazingly today, I’ve already had a email from a chain store advertising “back to school” specials, which means Term 1 2022 can’t be too far away!
