At the end of every school year Donhead has a Day of Celebration. It's a lovely day where each and every boy is awarded with a prize for something they have achieved during the year. Nicholas' prize was for 'Achievement in Science' which I think was quite appropriate, as his science knowledge is rather phenomenal, as his teacher put it. He also got an excellent report which made him, and us, glow with pride!

Nicholas had wonderful teachers this year who made a great effort to ensure that he was challenged and stimulated. They have such clever ways of teaching the boys in a way that makes learning interesting and enticing for them. It is always comforting for a parent to know that their child is in good hands!

Donhead is a catholic school so at the beginning and the end of every term the whole school attends mass in the beautiful Sacred Heart Church. There's something special about seeing all the boys on their best behaviour and listening to their sweet voices singing in such a magnificent building. It is a happy occasion and always leaves me feeling peaceful!

It's a tradition to go picnicking in Cannizaro Park on the last day of school. This year almost everyone in Nick's class joined in the fun and we spent hours cavorting around the park. The holiday mood was definitely in the air!

One of the the boys in Nick's class left at the end of year 1. Tiago was one of Nick's football buddies and he certainly is missed by his class mates. We gave them a cushion made out of bits of Donhead uniform as a going away present!
