Leaders and staff at St. Ignatius Catholic School are highly committed to the school and its students, but the challenges of COVID-19 have left them “feeling burnt out, exhausted, and requiring counselling support”.
One week into the government’s new strategy for COVID-19 in local schools, education and health officials are racing to keep up with demand for ‘quick-response’ testing kits amid a cascade of cases among students and staff.
Despite receiving ‘Good’ or ‘Excellent’ marks in almost all areas of assessment — including for student attainment, behaviour and teaching — St. Ignatius has been rated as ‘Satisfactory’ by the Office of Education Standards.
Leaders of St. Ignatius Catholic Church and School have announced transition plans for the school following the impending departure of Head of School Emily Alexander on 12 Nov.
More than 95 percent of St. Ignatius Catholic School students achieved 7 or more ‘higher’ passes on IGCSEs this spring.
