2022T4W8 - Early Start Assembly

On Thursday 17 November, the whole school community gathered to participate in the Early Start Assembly, where the Principal and Assistant Principals set out the expectations for all Damascus students, as they commence the 2023 academic year.

At the assembly students and staff were also delighted to be entertained by current students Alex Western as he sung ‘Stars’ from Les Misérables. Alex Logan played ‘Londonderry Air’ on the saxophone, and Harriet Murphy and Carina Drake sung ‘Proud Mary’ which got all those assembled, tapping their feet to the tune. It really was a wonderful celebration of student skill and ability.

It was lovely to come together as a whole school community, after two years of interrupted gatherings. Throughout the formalities there were many take away messages, particularly reminding students to:

• Be attentive

• Be responsible

• Be respectful

• Be organised
