Welcome to the end of Term 3!
I think it’s safe to say that all of our students (and teachers) have worked extremely hard this term and have certainly earned their break! I hope that everyone is able to rest and recuperate, as Term 4 is sure to fly by!
I thought it would be a good idea to flag some dates of events that are taking place next term. At this stage, we are still unable to host parents at these events, HOWEVER, we will be sure to communicate any changes closer to the event dates.

Contemplative Reading
I felt a strong desire to take my time, slowly savouring every word. This was in contrast to my normal reading pace, which was fast, almost scan-like. In the Benedictine tradition, monks undertake Lectio Divina (meditative reading of the scriptures) to deepen and refresh their understanding and comprehension. In the classroom, you could pick a book or a poem to read and focus on a certain page/line that stood out to you.
