If you are as excited as I am about the start of the new school year, you might want to consider switching to decaf until things calm down a bit! In addition to continuing to build on the successes we achieved in previous years, we are already beginning to experience very positive results from the most recent changes in school leadership. Pak Cory brings with him a wealth of experience, exceptional focus and a “can do” attitude that is thoroughly contagious. Pak Steve and I have adjusted our roles to better suit our strengths and interests and the impact has been both immediate and very encouraging. Expect to see more from me in my new role as Secondary Principal for Well-Being and Pastoral Care.

There is an important announcement from me later in this issue of KONTAK. I look forward to hearing from you after you finish reading it and will be happy to answer any questions that you might have. Until then, enjoy your decaf. I’m off to work together with my colleagues to continue making this the best school possible for everyone in the GJS family community.
