For most Australian students, tomorrow is the first day of the new school year. How are you all feeling? Excited! Worried! Can’t be bothered!
I must admit that I was always excited about the Night Before the First Day of School. You see, I am a very sound sleeper, can get to sleep easily and it is hard to stir me during the night. But those nights before the first day of school made me restless. I couldn’t sleep and spent all night dreaming about the year ahead. I wondered what teachers I would have, the friends I would make.
It was like Christmas Eve all over again. Silly, heh!
What are you hopes for this school year?
Think about each heading for a moment and decide what you want to achieve?
- Academics
- Sports
- Cultural (music / clubs)
- Friendship
- Study Skills
My Hopes for you
Like all teachers I wish you the very best. Good Luck tomorrow and for the rest of the year. Here are my hopes for you this year:
- That you take one day at a time: Learn from today and be better tomorrow
- That you realise that you can be better: Academics, behaviour, sports, friendship
- That you see yourself as part of a team: School and the teachers, counsellors and students are all there to help (look carefully though, don’t be made a fool by those who want to fool you)
- That you take notice of your individual gifts and strengths: Be strong, be proud
Enjoy yourself. It’s just school.
