Mr Brendan Gorman - Headmaster
I continue to be both challenged and encouraged by the reality of 2020. Despite so many unknowns and obstacles that continue to impact on our sense of normalcy, we have adapted incredibly well and the resilience of our students continues to impress.
I have been eagerly awaiting a briefing that I am hoping will outline some ability to include parents in our end of year events, even in some small way. Whilst this hasn't occurred just yet, we have planned for a number of possibilities and regret the disconnect that we have at this stage with our families.
Safety of our community has always been at the heart of the decisions we have been forced to make this year. I trust that some of what is being shared on our Social Media pages and the brief encounters we have had this year, have allowed you to feel connected in some small way. There will be much joy and celebration when we are able to open the gates to parents again!
Our precautions and requirements to exclude students who are unwell remain in place. St. Peter's will continue to temperature check, provide sanitiser and exclude anyone who is unwell, both students and staff. Thanks for your understanding as staff enforce my expectations in this regard.
Any visitors to the school for any reason must complete the required declarations and have their temperature checked.
Thanks to our parents who are appropriately distancing themselves from one another. We also regret that important events such as Student Led Conferences and Grandparents Day were unable to occur this year.
However, the news hasn't all been disappointing.
