It's not rocket science - Just Read!

7 August 2020

Every parent I know would like their child to be an avid reader. Who doesn’t want their child to have better vocabulary, comprehension, writing, general knowledge, conceptual ability and even, in the case of reading fiction, greater empathy and better interpersonal skills? But making that aspiration a reality is hard, and getting harder.

Spotlight on: Stamina

31 July 2020

A few weeks ago, we were in a very different situation in NSW; yet as I write the virus is creeping closer. I am full of admiration for the management of this crisis so far by our medicos, public health experts and political leaders. Are they perfect? No. But in NSW we have been exceptionally well-served so far.

Spotlight on: Looking to the Future

24 July 2020

As these strange and uncertain times continue, it is tempting to put deeper, long-term thinking on hold. After all, everyone is exhausted, there’s a crisis to manage and who knows what the next weeks and months have in store? There is, however, something restorative and energising about raising our eyes to the far horizon and we have been thinking hard about some of the lessons (so far!) of 2020.

Spotlight On: Why All Children Need School

19 June 2020

I have the clearest memory of watching my two-year-old son exploring the back garden. A very thin twig was poking out from the hedge. He picked up a rock about the size of my fist and slowly, with infinite care, he held the rock gently on the top of the trembling twig… and let go. The rock thumped to the ground, and my son learnt something about gravity and the relationship between the diameter and strength of a tree branch.

Spotlight On: Revisiting Rites of Passage

12 June 2020

Queenwood offers much to develop the perseverance, integrity and resilience required in adult life. School camps are slightly less extreme than bungee jumps and insect stings but the point of the physical challenge is the same. When girls come away surprised at what they can achieve, they learn in a powerful way that anxiety is not a reliable indicator of potential.

Through a Glass, Darkly

5 June 2020

Some things are seen more clearly from the outside. And from the outside, it is easy for Australians to see in this week’s scenes from America the injustice, the fear, the racism, the excesses, the manipulation, the hypocrisy, the rage and the despair.

Spotlight On: A Bigger World

29 May 2020

If we set the bar low and expect young people to be interested only in themselves, we will find our expectations sadly fulfilled. If we never expose them to ideas that fall outside the experience of their own short lives, is it any wonder that their interests remain narrow? What a dreary vision of the future. Young people deserve more: more opportunity and more respect. Set the bar high, and they will rise to it.

Spotlight On: The Girls

22 May 2020

In precarious times like these, it is important to remember that everyone is coping differently and in their own way. While some of you may be simply ecstatic to come back to school, just remember that not everyone is feeling this way and, most importantly, that not feeling that way is perfectly okay. Look out for the people around you (not just your friends), as support is a necessity and key to a formidable comeback!
