What a frenzied day it was! Anzac Day assembly, parent interviews, finance meetings, maintenance issues from the deluge of last night's rain ... a big day ...
But it flowed beautifully .... The tiredness of yesterday receded. I felt sense of true purpose and energised all through the day.
I felt very privilleged to be part of the Anzac Day service, organised by the gallant Kevin Gallagher ... as well as meet up with Ian Hendersen (Mosman Council RSL president) and hear old war stories.
The children were delightful. I was in awe over the way they listened with dignified silence through the ceremony.
And at the end of the day, the afternoon ended with a sense of inner peace and accomplishment. Our staff training session went well. More culture building ... alignment growing ... clear strategies for growth that incorporate cultural traditions and systems. A show and tell of some inspiring videos eg 4 Chord Song - which was very funny. Somehow I linked this great video to ways to develop a strong and cohesive organisational foundation .... where each person can contribute individuality and group strength.
So it was nice to go home and feel good about the day. Far better than yesterday. It was a day to treasure and hold in gratitude. Being a principal and teaching rocks!
What about your first day back with the children, how was it for you? Share your journey below.
