Mark Turner

"With your help and support every step of the way, we have made it successfully to the end of the most disrupted year in the school’s history."

"I write at another historic moment for St. Michaels University School. I am aware that there have been many of them as we have journeyed together through the last six months."

"During the last few months our teachers have had to contend with extraordinary and unprecedented challenges."

"Greetings and best wishes after a week in which the education sector, public and independent, has been considering options and planning our next steps."

"Another hectic week has flown by. Over the last few days I have read a great many prosaic, and now rather repetitive briefings and updates from a wide range of officialdom."

"After the launch of our Remote Learning curriculum, we have now had two weeks of this new reality."

"This note reaches you at the end of our first week of delivering our remote learning curriculum."

"This week, we have been moving on with preparations for the launch of our remote learning curriculum."

"There is an old proverb ‘cometh the hour, cometh the man’ generally taken to mean that in time of crisis someone will step up to inspire and galvanize a response."

"Another week has passed since my last message to you. I hope you are keeping morale as high as it can be in the current difficult circumstances."

"We live in unprecedented times. Never before has the school been closed indefinitely by provincial authorities."
