Good morning. As I mentioned last week, I had a very enjoyable and productive time at the Catholic Head Teachers’ conference on Thursday and Friday. However, it really does feel good to be back in St Bartholomew’s this morning. I’m looking forward to seeing the boys and girls at 9 o’clock and catching up on all their news. The Catholic Head Teachers’ Association gifted a portrait of Pope Francis to the school during the conference and this will be given a new home in our main entrance area later today.

I came across a thought-provoking quotation the other day; some food for thought as we begin a new week:

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you’ll be a success.”

Have an enjoyable and successful Monday, everyone!
