As we reached the end of the marking period, I had the opportunity to sit down with our Dean, Mr. Pompa to gain insight on how faculty has been feeling about the school year. Throughout this academic year and marking period, the overall atmosphere among faculty members can be characterized as resilient and supportive. Despite facing various challenges, there's a sense of determination and mutual support among the staff. When Mr. Pompa was asked how he would describe the overall atmosphere among faculty members during this school year and marking period, he responded saying “Faculty members this school year are working together through challenges with determination and support. Some may feel stressed, but overall, there's a strong commitment to providing quality education and helping each other out.” Mr Pompa is saying how everyone seems to be working together and more efficiently when everyone is supporting each other. Additionally, When our Dean was asked what the main factors contributed to the overall climate and atmosphere within the faculty body during this period, he said “The faculty's well-being during this marking period has been supported through regular communication, as our school focuses on mindfulness and mental health. The main goal is to create a positive environment where everyone feels good and ready to work.” I also believe in communicating with others to better ourselves. Overall, I think that it is very important for the faculty to stay strong to support us students for a great year.
