New Year

January, the first month of the year gets its name from the Roman god, Janus or Janarius, who was represented as having two heads and two pairs of eyes, each pair looking in the opposite direction from the other, and each head facing a different direction from each other.

 New Year is often a time when we take stock, which is a good thing. It’s good to look back over 2015 and trace the good and the bad; learning  lessons from both of them. It’s also a good time to look forward to a new year of opportunity, of privilege and responsibility.

Let us strive to make 2016 a collective success throughout the

Broadway community not only in educational outcomes but also in terms of how we serve each other. The famous business leader and author Robert K. Greenleaf who wrote the international best seller ‘Servant Leadership’ says that ‘Service’ ought to be the distinguishing characteristic of leadership. I agree with Greenleaf when he states that Headteacher’s and Business Leaders themselves ‘would find greater joy in their lives if they raised the servant aspect of their leadership and built more serving institutions’

Can we all endeavour to make 2016 at Broadway Academy a year of service to each other and to the community.
