APRE News

Welcome to the end of Week 9!  Year 5 Jellyfish presented assembly today on the theme of ‘Harmony Day’. They urged us all to think about how we are called to think about how we achieve harmony in our lives and relationships.  They defined that being in harmony with others means living together peacefully, bringing together different ideas, feelings and actions.  They finally reminded us that this doesn’t mean we have to think the same, but we can be accepting and tolerant of others’ ways of doing things.  Harmony Day is certainly a great reminder to us to stop and think about how we can be accepting of others in all facets of our lives, regardless of where they are from, or how different they might be than ourselves.   

 

Fun Run (repeat)

Friday 31st March will see all of our students participating in our annual school Fun Run.  All of our students are catered for throughout the event; from our most competitive runners, who are encouraged to go through the course as fast as they can, to those competitors or would rather take it a bit easy, with fun and enjoyable obstacles set up for them along the course.  We would like to welcome those parents who are able to attend to come and watch the races.  There will be areas allocated for our spectators to allow for the smooth running of the event.  Please note, we have had to make some changes, with the 11 Year old and 12 Year old races now set to take place on Thursday 30th March at 2:00pm.  Again, parents are welcome to attend and watch these races.  This change has been made to allow for students to be able to represent our school at the Northern Region Rugby League and Netball Cups, which will be taking place on those days.



Project Compassion 

Each week, Project Compassion has a video to show how they are supporting people and communities around the world.  Please see the link below to see one of the many projects around the world and to see where your donations might be spent.  This week's story takes us to Vietnam and is about a man named Thu.

A reminder that each classroom has a donation box, where any funds, even small contributions, can be placed to do something for someone else.
