Welcome to the end of another week!

Thanks to the Year 5 Turtles who shared their assembly with us this week.  Their assembly was about the Assumption of Mary (the mother of Jesus).  Their assembly looked at how we can all work in Mary’s shoes to be people of faith and hope, willing to trust in God.   

Our students were thrilled this week to see our Nexus Arts performance by ‘Wild Man’ Phillip Green.  He spoke (with great enthusiasm) and provided a hands on experience to our students about traditional technologies used by indigenous people across the varied environments of Australia’s deserts, mountains, rivers and sea shores.  

We also wish our Year 5 and 6 students all the best next week as they head off to camp at Mackay Action Challenge.  They will be away from Tuesday - Friday and will undergo a range of different activities and challenges.  We look forward to hearing all about it on their return!

Contemplative Corner 

Over the next few weeks, I intend to give a range of different mantras and sayings  which you might like to use in your daily life.  The ideas are that these mantras and sayings are for you - read them, sit with them, take what you need out of them.  You might see something that you love and sticks out in your mind - it might become your theme for the week.  YOu may choose to pray with it or say it to yourself each morning before starting the day.  Enjoy.
