Dear Parents
Every cloud has a silver lining and at the end of the wettest and dullest month of the year so far, the school can celebrate another birth. Dr Demoncheaux and Beatrice celebrated the birth of a baby boy on May 1st, saying goodbye to the month of April and heralding in new life and hope. Pierre-Eric’s adventure starts now and just like your children, he will be the most precious part of his parents’ lives. It serves to remind all those who work at the school of the enormous responsibility that lies on our shoulders, as well as on the parents’ shoulders. From this very fact arise some of the great joys of parenting and teaching but also some of the inevitable tensions and disappointments and the closer that we can work with each other, the better the result will be for the young people in our care.
In May, the more silver linings we can discover, the less influence the clouds will have on us. Our best way is to go back to the children, who are naturally optimistic, laughing and smiling. They are the ones who make teaching so fulfilling and compensate for a dull April, with its hosepipe bans and its flood warnings!
Best wishes
Roger Clark
