The second, more importantly, was towards the attitude of the First Rugby Team and particularly how<br />
gracious they were in victory. These comments were reiterated several times by the parent who asked<br />
that they be passed on to me.<br />
I am sure this is just a small example of the range of praise and positive feedback received at our school,<br />
yet it has made me consider how even small acts by students can have a strong and positive impact on<br />
the reputation of our school for the wider community. As students we all have the responsibility for the<br />
school’s reputation and to ensure our school is perceived as a great example of education as it should<br />
be.<br />
While I have this chance I would also like to congratulate those who in the past weeks have attained<br />
high achievements in their varying fields.<br />
This includes the ‘Bring It On‘ Dance Crew, the Theatre Sports team, both the Senior A and Year 8<br />
Debating teams, the Senior and Junior Dance Troupes and the Boys and Girls First XI Football teams.<br />
Congratulations to all.<br />
