Good afternoon,<\/p>\n
I want to pass on a message that I shared with those in attendance at yesterday evening’s Parent Council meeting. It is a simple but heartfelt ‘Thank you’ for the warm welcome which I have received since joining the Whalsay School community. As I often share with students, starting out in any new role or entering a new environment brings a natural mix of emotions; excitement, nervousness etc.<\/p>\n
What often provides a level of reassurance is meeting supportive and helpful people and that has certainly been my experience since taking up my post. It has been a pleasure to teach P.E. and Wider Achievement lessons as well as observing many other lessons in different phases of the school. I thoroughly enjoyed a quick trip to visit our students in the Nursery this lunchtime; our youngest learners were having great discussion about the food that was being served and the different types of fish that they know – how appropriate for where we are in the world! I was also lucky enough to observe and hear about the process of cooking garlic bread in an S4 lesson.<\/p>\n
Seeing our students so well engaged in their learning and listening to their lovely manners has made me a very proud Head Teacher over the past few weeks. I look forward to continuing to work closely with our teachers, students and support staff as the Academic Year progresses.<\/p>\n
Best wishes,<\/p>\n
