It's Great to be Back

Our children constantly amaze me.

Yesterday was day one following our earthquake and we were a bit worried to be fair. Would the children be OK? How would they be able to concentrate? Would they be tearful and anxious? Would all the parents keep them home?

There is no doubt that our children have in many instances been through a very difficult time. Some have lost their homes and possessions. Many have been lacking in sleep. But they are an extremely caring, concerned and open group of children. They were happy to share their experiences and talk about how they felt, who helped them, and what they did when the earthquake struck. They were equally willing to listen and inquire about the experiences of others, quick to laugh, and happy to be back at school.

They really are an amazing bunch, taught by a fantastic staff, and we should be very proud of all of them.
