Dear Parents and Carers,
We enjoyed celebrating Book Week throughout this week. Our dress up parade was a fun event involving our College community. It was wonderful to see many of our students dressed in their book character costumes I would like to extend my thanks to our Library staff who were involved in much of the planning and organisation of the special activities that occurred throughout the week.
Twenty of our Year 6 students participated in a CSEN (Christian Schools Event Network) Netball competition this week. Our boys’ team won the gold medal in their competition. Our girls’ team played well, placing 4th overall, improving their skills with each match played
The Year 2 students participated in a Mini Hooptime basketball competition this week. They refined their basketball and teamwork skills while competing in mini matches against a variety of teams
The College Musical is now less than two weeks away! Our Primary students had the opportunity to attend a movie showing of the Shrek movie as a way to celebrate and prepare for our upcoming production Ensure you secure tickets as soon as possible so that you don't miss out on a seat, our evening shows are close to capacity. We are looking forward to showcasing the talents of our students during Shrek the Musical Jr
Have a wonderful weekend and may God bless you and your family.
