Notes went home yesterday regarding the
Year 9/10 camp to Wilmington in the lower Flinders Ranges from
Tuesday 27th to Friday 30th August (week 6). Students have a bit
of
work to do in the lead-up to camp, including
working together to plan, budget and shop for their menu plus
organising
‘who’s got what’ tent and camping equipment between their
groups.
Chaplain’s Corner by Mrs Veronica Raams
This term started with me attending two conferences in the first
week. They were both so good! I grew a lot and feel refreshed and
ready to start the second half of the year with new enthusiasm and
looking at life through a new lens. I was also taught how important
it is to look after myself so I can serve others better. Sometimes
we forget that, especially as parents we give and give!
In Follow Jesus we’re talking about the importance of reading
our Bibles. This is also a way to keep close to God and rest in
Him.
Programs are all starting back this week: Monday: Ukulele for
F-3s during Performing Arts & Circle Time for Years 4-6 at
lunchtime Tuesday: Follow Jesus—whole school @ lunch Thursday:
Gardening Club—whole school @ lunch Friday: Circle Time for Years
7-10 @ lunch and GirlWise during class time
Chapel: Thank you to the 9/10 class who took chapel last
week—I’m sure you were great. Next week we have a split chapel with
secondary at 1:40pm & primary at 2:30pm. You are most welcome
to come along!
