Welcome Back

It has been great to see all the children back from the summer break this week. All pupils have returned with enthusiasm and are excited about the start of the new school year.

As I am sure you are more than aware, Broadford has had a tough summer with media stories which have taken their toll on us all. It’s a tough fact of life that we don’t learn much about ourselves or our character in good times. We can’t fully discover our strengths and shortcomings without being tested by adversity. How we deal with it, or how we learn to deal with it, is central to who we are – and how credible we continue to be. During this time the support that the school has received from the community has been overwhelming. We have read each and every one of your comments and messages of support which has given us the right attitude and has kept our goals and vision at the foremost of our minds. We have surely been tested these past few weeks but we cannot thank you enough for your support and commitment to Broadford.

As we move into the new academic year, we would like to take this opportunity to say that our commitment to our pupils and families is as strong as it has ever been. It is our priority to ensure that Broadford pupils continue to receive an outstanding education. I can assure you that staff will know your child personally and will ensure that we meet their needs fully. We will work tirelessly so that all of our pupils can achieve in their academic, creative, personal, physical, moral and spiritual success and above all make sure that they are happy to attend school each and every day.

It is humbling to come to work everyday with an amazing team of staff who work their hardest to provide your children with magical experiences and support them to achieve extraordinary outcomes. During this difficult time we have learned much about ourselves and our character, we have discovered our strengths and we know that as a community we can work together, move forward and I have no doubt will emerge stronger than ever.

Your continuous support and commitment is as always very much appreciated.
