Help! - 2016
The School year at Boys’ Prep is about to commence and we would like to take the opportunity to welcome you all.
Education can be likened to a great big canvas and this year we would like our boys to throw as much paint as they can on the canvas of their education. We appeal to the boys, the parents and the teachers to value and uphold the importance of intrinsic motivation.
This year we have no doubt that our boys will throw themselves into their education, they will make the most of the canvas of opportunity that they are offered and they will paint the goals that they aspire to. We have no doubt that if they remain motivated in the classroom, then they will achieve their goals. Their education is sound, creative and innovative and boys’ prep, together with the parents and the boys themselves, will help to make this a reality.
Help! Four letters that can mean so much. Four letters that can be seen as a dynamic, planned action - or as a plea!
This year, the PTA will no doubt continue to tirelessly take action to help raise funds for our prep initiatives as well as help serve the greater College towards Strategy 2025. Helping take action to strategically plan towards ensuring an educationally sound and innovative future for our School.
The teachers at boys’ prep will take action and help the boys to achieve academic, sporting, cultural and life-long learning. Teacher motivation in the classroom will help to create a year that is bright with embraced opportunities.
However, even more importantly, the boys themselves will have to take action to further their education. We are confident our young gentlemen too are beginning to realize the importance of self-motivation and are prepared to help themselves.
It is an appeal that we make to our young charges today. Help yourselves! Make the most of the fantastic educational opportunities that you have. Throw as much paint as you can on to the canvas of your education this year. If you can do that, then one day, you will be in a position to respond to the pleas of others who may need your help!
Help! Four letters that mean so much. You must help yourselves so that ultimately you can help others. Each young gentleman here today, in their own way, will need to help. You will need to help your family. You will need to help the environment. You will need to make sense of the world when sense and reason go missing. You will need to help solve problems through innovation and invention. And, you will need to help turn indifference into motivated, helpful action.
This is our goal as the year at the Boys’ Prep commences! Let's continue to work together to help each other to be our best for the world.
