Thank you to the Form 1 Parents for supporting the Prefects' Charity for 2022; Lighthouse Community Support. http://lcs.org.au. Lighthouse is a truly inspirational organization that supports disadvantaged youth and their communities. One hundred percent of funds raised go directly to the charity and we are very grateful for your donations. Jack Story - Head Prefect New Mothers' Morning Teas @ WeigallOn the mornings of 15 March and 22 March, SGSWA was lucky to be able to host the annual New Mothers' Morning Teas at Weigall Pavilion. Despite COVID and March's less than ideal weather, both mornings were sunny and warm and had a great turn out of new mothers. Everyone was excited to be able to meet up in person once again.

2022 Art Gallery of NSW - Matisse Life & Spirit Exhibition Tours
The year has started on a positive note with a very successful Form III Tour and Morning Tea held on Friday 4 February.
Our Guides John and Jane gave us an excellent Tour providing us with an incite into Matisse's growth as an artist over 70 years (1869- 1954) and how his work was impacted and influenced by 3 major wars. Highlights were the interpretation of the Chapel of the Rosary, Vence exhibition space and the inspiring The Sorrows of the King (La Tristesse du roi) 1952 work. Following the Tour we enjoyed meeting new people and chatting with with others we hadn't seen for a while over a coffee and scone. We look forward to holding similar events over the year. |

Matisse at the Art Gallery of NSW - 2021
A group of parents and carers of Form III and Form IV boys met at the Art Gallery of NSW for a private tour of Matisse: Life and Spirit Exhibition, on Monday 29-11-21. We were originally to tour The Archibald Exhibition, before restrictions were introduced, but equally delighted to attend Matisse after the lockdown ended. It was unanimous - the Matisse exhibition was uplifting and inspiring, which was decided over coffee in the gallery café downstairs afterwards. |
