How wonderful it has been to be able to welcome our community, in all its various guises, back together again to enjoy our very special ‘Maynard Magic’(to quip the Good Schools’ Guide). And how completely fitting that the whole year was rounded off with our biggest ever Summer Celebration held for the first time at Sandy Park. This had been a long time in the planning and it was just fabulous to be able to welcome a record-breaking number of parents and extended families to join us in celebrating all the very many remarkable achievements of so many students across this past year; to enjoy the dance, the music and the special sense of togetherness that is the hallmark of a Maynard education. On reflection, this past year has completely proven that we have emerged from the pandemic even stronger than we went into it. Without doubt, we have adapted and grown as a result of covid and our new normal, dare I say it, has elements that are even better than before! A highlight for me this year was our first ever outdoor Carol Service, complete with a huge inflatable Father Christmas peering down at us all from the fire exit on Tregear! Fortunately, the weather was kind to us, blankets were in abundance and Andrew’s lovely mulled wine warmed us all and put our vocal chords in a better place than ever! Another first was the marvellous‘Mutts about Maynard’ dog show held on Leebourne one sunny afternoon in the summer which attracted not only a huge audience, but a vast number of entries. I can honestly say that my first foray into the world of dog judging was much harder than I ever anticipated and choosing our eventual prize-winners was nigh-on impossible! I must thank our hard-working and creative MPA for coming up with such an inspirational fundraising idea and I am sure we can expect many more dog shows to keep us so thoroughly entertained in the future. It has been so heart-warming to welcome back audiences to revel in our incredible Performing Arts offering. The biennial whole school play production, Mary Poppins, was an almighty hit! Three sellout performances certainly lifted the ceiling in the Performing Arts Centre and
