'OASIS' HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE

May all of you, and especially those of you who are about to leave School, find happiness in the years ahead. That happiness will be surer and deeper if you have accepted all that your School offers you. I speak not only of the opportunities to gain a rich knowledge in many fields of study, very important though this is, I am also thinking of the opportunies you have - in class and out of it - to learn the value of the comradeship that cuts across all differences of race, colour, religion and politics; to feel the joy of sharing burdens and giving service to others; and to find the satisfaction gained from freely accepting responsibilities in class, house and School activities.

The more firmly you have grasped such opportunities, the better kind of person you will be; and the world outside the School desperately needs all the knowledge, leadership, courage, kindness and tolerance which you can take to it. I know that you will play your part worthily and that your pride in your School will be matched by its pride in you.

My warmest greetings to you all!

GRIEF
By Cathy Jennings (Yr 2A)

Sadness in our world of selfishness
Is no longer grief.
Grief is unconsolable,
Cannot be cast off like clothing,
When a wearer is tired of it,
And be replaced with a cloak of mirth.
Grief is uncontrollable;
A burning fire leaping from the body
To mind, tormenting an afflicted soul
Only to be smothered by death.
