Volume 28 - 11 September, 2012 Dear Parents and Students As we welcome the gentle warmth and colour of Spring we seek to be a community of growth, love and warmth in all we do. May we embrace the abundant opportuni es we have to be people of generosity and grace, offering care and compassion to those in need. The Kiss of Spring Who but You O God can rescue the earth from the grip of winter? You take the bare fields, bleak and desolate and dress them in green, Splashing us with colours, reminding us that Life comes
through You.
All about me buds are burs ng,
I am dwarfed by Your great universe
when spring arrives. Tammy Felton
