In a previous life I was a Professor of Cinema Studies. In film classes, we talk a lot about the differences between classical Hollywood cinema and its alternatives. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of classical Hollywood is a grammar of continuity editing. Back in the day, when this grammar was disrupted, the audience would feel, like Hamlet, as if time was “out of joint”.
I am writing to share some personal news today. After just over ten years as the (very!) proud Founding Principal of Blyth Academy Lawrence Park, I will be moving on at the end of Term 3 to start a new adventure.

As we approach the beginning of Term 4, I wanted to reach out once again to our broader community and express my profound gratitude and congratulations for the work that is being done by our parents, students and staff in our new virtual environment.
Following direction from the Ministry, all Blyth Academy campuses will remain closed until May. We will continue to follow the direction of the Ministry of Education and campuses will reopen once it is deemed safe and appropriate to do so.
Though our doors are temporarily closed, the minds of our students will remain open. Our students will continue their academic journey through virtual classrooms.
I’m delighted and very proud of the fact that we’ve been able to maintain much of that “personal” element through our virtual classrooms. I’d like to thank our fabulous faculty, and also you students and parents, for being so responsive and engaged.
