From The Principal Week 5
Dear SCA Families,
What if I told you that, with just 15 minutes of your time each day, you could significantly boost your child’s educational outcomes. Taking just 10-15 minutes leads to a daily habit that not only improves their vocabulary and comprehension but also strengthens your child's listening skills and attention span. Research shows that children who are read to regularly perform better academically, develop a love for reading, and build a stronger bond with their parents. Those few minutes each day can lay a solid foundation for their future success, both in school and beyond.
As we celebrate Book Week at SCA, let's come together to promote the joys of reading! This week is a perfect opportunity to immerse our children in the magical world of books. Whether it's an adventure, a fairy tale, or a story about friendship, reading opens new worlds and sparks imagination. By encouraging our kids to read, we nurture their curiosity and creativity, helping them grow into lifelong learners. Let's make reading a daily joy and share the love of stories with our children, not just during Book Week, but every day.
Book Week
I am sure I am not the only one who looks forward to this week each year. Book Week brings a sense of pride and fulfillment. It's a reminder that education is not just about academic achievement but also about nurturing a holistic love for learning. The dedication of our teachers and staff, led by Mrs Katherine Austin, in organising and executing these activities is truly commendable. When I see the smiles on the faces of our students as they immerse themselves in the world of books, I know that the joys of Book Week will continue to be cherished for years to come.
Feast Week
I thoroughly enjoyed our celebrations last week. You’d think that after 30 years we would be tired of it, but not so. The children enjoyed many fun activities on various days, and our Mass and Peer Support activity to finish the week were special.
Thank you to all the staff who organised various activities, and a special thanks to Mrs Susan Strickland, our acting REC, who pulled it all together.
It was once said…
Blessings to you and your family.
