A friend is a parent volunteer and by all accounts, they sound v heavily involved. My son told me he was read to by Parent Volunteers during Cont Time, and recognized some of his classmates’ mums. I didnt know that this was a new principal but apparently she keeps in close touch with the Parent Volunteers.


I intend to write in about the pathetic excuses given these young boys about skipping PE, if this continues for another week. To date, my son’s PE classes have all not proceeded. At first, it was about some boys misbehaving so the whole class skips, then "no time" as they didn’t finish the prev lesson promptly. I dont ask when it rains. Boys need activity to balance with all that desk work. Surely a boys school shld recognize this. This sends a message to the boys that of all the lessons, physical education/ keeping fit can be compromised.

It’s also sth all the boys look forward to- in the carpool, the chatter is about whether or not they will have PE lesson. Being persistently disappointed will soon erode their enthusiasm and they will may turn to other (possibly delinquent) pursuits to quell their energy.
