Featherbrook College – Return to onsite learning

I asked teachers to share some of the excitement and sentiments of their students as they look forward returning for their first few days and it would seem, and not surprisingly, that a common theme was to meet up with friends and their teachers. Some are really keen to work in their school books and to use our fabulous learning spaces, such as the Art Room, Performing Arts Room and the Gymnasium.

Year 2A and 2B decided to do a ‘countdown’ of how many sleeps it is until they return, which the students really enjoyed. Their teachers said the students were very excited about returning to school and were asking lots of questions. Year 2 student Jaiveer, shared that he is very excited to return to school so he could play soccer with his friends Khalif and Ahnaf. Again, the friendship theme is evident.

I hope our blog readers enjoy the comments from the students as much as I did. I know they will bring a smile to your face. Monday (Tuesday and Wednesday) can’t come quickly enough with Preps returning and then on Thursday (and Friday), the Year 1 and 2 students will return. Welcome back!!
