Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
We have had a fun week with a continuation of the secondary intramural basketball games which have turned out to be lots of fun. See the Crane video for some images. We have also noticed many of our primary students practicing volleyball at lunchtimes, perhaps inspired by our varsity teams. This is a good reminder of the impact of our actions on the younger students. Our Secondary students are great role models.
In this week’s TED Talk, I like the idea of confidence as a must-have rather than a nice-to-have. I hope you enjoy the talk by a teacher and activist, Brittany Packnett. Enjoy the weekend.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule
