听 Sitting playing Settlers of Catan with a group of Year 3 students after school on Tuesday, amidst a heap of others playing Balderdash, chess and pick-up-sticks in the library, it became clear that we are well and truly back into the swing of things at school. Clubs and activities at school provide further social opportunities for Carmel students to meet and play with childre ...

It has been a lovely, positive start to the school year as both campuses have filled with the sounds of chatting and laughter (as well as the whir of the air conditioning as the summer heat continues!). Substantial capital works have been underway during the break, slowed slightly by shipping issues, transport issues and labour shortages, but we鈥檙e nearly there and the School ...

It has been a busy week at 69色情片 and although the end of term is almost visible in the distance, there is still so much left to do. I reassure myself that it feels this way each year, yet we always achieve what we need to in time for the end of term. It鈥檚 too early to be looking forward to the break at this stage, but the prospect of some time to read and relax late in ...

I sat in on an interesting evening presentation to a group of women leaders at AISWA this week, entitled 鈥楾he Art of Patience鈥.

A fabulous beach breakfast, bowling expedition, lunch and valedictory rehearsal made for a fitting final day of school. Now that they have celebrated, enjoyed v ...

Good morning students, teachers, parents, friends, Carmel VIPs, guests and, of course, our Year 12 valedictorians. A valedictory is a farewell address.

It鈥檚 the beginning of the next episode of your lives 鈥 lives which I am confi ...

It is at times like this that one realises the awesomeness of the people around them. I am in the lucky position of being surrounded by people who have this week shown their compassion, their resilience and their resolve. I have felt privileged to have worked this week with leaders at our school who have led with dignity and strength. I have worked with students who have contin ...

The end of Term 3 is upon us and looking back, it has been an extremely busy term. As I write this, our Year 12 students are in the throes of their exams and we have been really impressed with the way in which they have conducted themselves 鈥 their outlook was described to me yesterday as 鈥渃ool, calm and collected鈥. Although I do understand that this outward calm may not always ...
