Foreword by Mr McDuff
Welcome to April’s newsletter. I am delighted to see ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ on the front cover and, once again, congratulate Mrs Crimes, the cast and those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes for such a wonderful set of performances.
As Atticus Finch urged us in the play, we do well to consider what it is like to walk in the shoes of others.
I am delighted to see the efforts of both individuals and the Charity Committee in helping us understand the needs of others and in raising significant amounts of money to support those needs.
It was also generous of our local MP David Jones to give us his time so that our Prep children could represent to him their compassion for all of the people of the world and their concerns over the effects of climate change.
This ability, throughout our school, to think beyond its confines helps make Rydal Penrhos so special and, as we can also read in this newsletter, underpinned all that was Mr Tickner; a man of great kindness, humble courtesy and gentle spirit, who we miss enormously.
The newsletter is filled with a multitude of items showing the many different areas of success met by our pupils. I am grateful to the Marketing Department for putting it together and hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have.
