Deputy Head of School’s Comment

This week on the Staff Development Day the staff discussed the nurturing of those qualities which bring about excellence, abundance and prosperity in a human life. Some examples of such qualities were unity, fearlessness, compassion, truthfulness and self-control. We looked at how such qualities are practically embedded in our teaching day. One of the subjects that gives scope for drawing out these qualities, is Shakespeare. Unity brings all the performers together for the sake of the play. Fearlessness speaks for itself. Compassion allows for space for each child to develop in their part (not everyone is a born actor). Truthfulness encourages the person to give their best self to the part and self-control is practised by each child in order to have an awareness of the whole performance and not just their own role. We look forward to the fruits of these efforts next week.
