Piano festival 2015 is here! Our students have been enjoying all things ‘piano’ this week, with piano concerts, trivia and competitions.

This week I have been reflecting on the incredible capacity of our girls to become resilient beings. We are fortunate to live in a world where much of the time it is easy to be comfortable - we adjust temperature to 'just right' with the simple flick of an air conditioning switch, we can fly between continents in just a few hours, we can buy whatever we need on-line or in store, but the reality is that to be well equipped for life and its inevitable bumps, to be able to thrive in relationships and to flourish in the world of work, we need to build the capacity to navigate discomfort.

​Despite the cold weather, there has been plenty to celebrate this week at School – from the wonderful performances of the VCE Music students at their recital last night, to the impressive spelling efforts of the Junior School girls last week at the House Spelling Bee!

The first Lowther Hall Junior School Science Fair was held on Friday 22 May! The Fair was opened by a former Lowther Hall student, Ms Antonia Policheni, who is a PhD candidate and cancer researcher.

I am sure that everyone who attended the Evening of Song on Monday night will agree that it was a great success! The girls and staff are to be commended for the outstanding level of performance and the professional presentation of the event.

A significant event on the Music Calendar, Evening of Song will be held at The Clocktower Centre on May 18.
