Like the original audience of Matthew’s gospel, we can sometimes rely too much on God to bring about the Kingdom in our world. Like the lazy servant in the gospel, we can fall into the trap of handing the world back to God in exactly the same condition that we received it. We have to make a difference in the world! We are called to change the world and bring it closer to the realisation of the Kingdom. The only way that we can do that it is to live our lives as if the Kingdom is already here.

This week within our classes we celebrated NAIDOC Week. On Thursday the school participated in an online dance session with Move It Mob Style. This was an initiative supported by the Jarara Unit from CEDP. It gave the students an opportunity to experience a few Indigenous dance moves.

Thank you to all the students and families for your support of the Fun Run . This year, due to covid the fun run was conducted in the students' P.E class time. They all had a lot of fun completing the activities.    

The P&F provided an ice-block and a ribbon for all our students for their participation. Congratulations to the students who were lucky enough to have their name drawn out to win a $30 voucher. The winners were:

This week social skill is to be “Empathetic”

When being empathetic I:

look at things from other people’s point of view 

think about how my actions may affect others

think about how another person is feeling

think about how I can make others feel better

Canteen lunch orders placed through Flexi Schools.

Opening a school canteen account works in credit. Some days, your child/children may need a refreshment such as a juice or even a frozen fruit ice block on a hot day, but most importantly, there may be a time your child forgets their lunch at home or you simply forgot, having a canteen account puts a parents worry at ease. If this happens, simply ring the school canteen and one of our lovely staff members will be happy to take your child's lunch order by simply adding it on your school canteen account.

All your child needs to do is go to the canteen, and let them know their name and class and their purchase will be subtracted off the account.  Parents can open a school canteen account for your child/children to be available if needed, to open an account you can go to Mels Tasty Bites or  fill out the form attached and send it off to your school canteen with the correct amount of money.

 Once the credit runs low, an sms or a note will be sent to you, to let you know its time to top up again.
