This has been a busy two terms for everyone! There have been celebrations of many and varied events including sport, music, retreats, performance, reading, fundraising, public speaking, Lenten focus – so many, and such wonderful opportunities for learning, and for building relationships and confidence to become the rounded adults of tomorrow. It’s so important to recognise that these occasions don’t happen by chance and I would like to thank everyone – governors, staff, parents, volunteers – for creating and delivering these exceptional experiences for the children. It has been a period of working carefully with our schools to build balanced and effective budgets for the coming year amidst the challenge of funding we all recognise. We continue to focus on achieving this whilst providing great education and thank everyone in schools for their hard work on this task. It is always such a joy to read about all the wonderful work through our schools, and I look forward to making some visits in terms 5 and 6. We are approaching the period of celebration with the resurrection of Christ at Easter after our reflection and anticipation during Lent. I wish everyone in our Dunstan Catholic Educational Trust my deepest thanks, a welcome break, and a happy and peaceful Easter. Catherine Christie Trust Board Chair of Directors
