The main focus for our new parents coffee mornings this week was a clear message about  reading. 

The most important gift you can give your child is to surround them with books and make time to read for pleasure everyday. Read in English and/or your home language - picture books, fiction, non fiction, graphic novels, poetry, recipes, instructions, your own stories…….the list is endless.

Children copy those around them so always have a book on the go yourself; model that love and enjoyment, show that you value reading.

“Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.” – Napoléon Bonaparte

What a fantastic start it has been to Term 1 2019 at City Campus. 

It has been so wonderful to see all our founding families and founding staff team again, and to welcome new families and staff members to our growing vibrant community.

The children have settled beautifully with many new friendships forging across all year groups.

This year begins with an expansion of our Music department, our Design and Technology Centre and our Mandarin Team…..more news as the weeks unfold.

A highlight for myself and my team this week was when school leaders and teachers from the Mater Dei School visited.  It was reflective for us to share our journey, our campus and our philosophy  with such an interested team who gave us kind and positive feedback: "Your sharing and all that you showed us helped us to open our hearts and minds to new possibilities."
