I join with others and welcome you to a new academic year. The beginning of a school year is also a fantastic opportunity for students to set new goals and develop strong habits to set themselves up for a positive year. As students begin and continue their SACE journeys, they are encouraged to develop strategies and habits that they can use to manage the unpredictable weeks and months ahead.
It is essential that students look after themselves, and reduce tension from stress, school and work pressure. Students are encouraged to find an active outlet that can support relaxation and connection to others. The beginning of each year is busy, with many school-wide events providing opportunities for senior students to connect with and build relationships with those who are new to our community. There are many opportunities for students to become involved within our community and in activities at Kildare; with students moving closer to the end of their schooling journey I encourage them to be involved in as many year level, house or team activities as they are able.
It is a pleasure to welcome the Year 10 students into the Senior Years, and along with our Year 11 and 12s, all Senior School students were presented with a lamp of learning badge which signifies the commitment to leadership in our community. It has been wonderful to see all Senior School students wearing their badge with pride as they continue to demonstrate the core values of our community.
