Welcome back to school! It's great to be back after a well-deserved break. I hope everyone had a wonderful time with their families and friends. To kick off the new school year, I would like to share some of the highlights from my vacation with you all.

As a teacher, I believe that the experiences we share with friends and family are essential components of education and personal growth.

Getting out again after the COVID-19 pandemic is truly refreshing. After spending months in dealing with restrictions and social distancing, it feels liberating to be able to go out and experience the world once again. Whether it's meeting up with friends, going on a trip somewhere new, or simply taking a walk in the park, being able to do things that were once taken for granted is a reminder of how much we cherish our freedoms.

Over our last cople of school breaks I have had the odd opportunity to snap a picture here and there and it is now time to share them with you guys.

I have included some of my favourite photographs from my travels below. I hope they inspire you to explore the world and broaden your horizons.

Wishing you all a great school year!
