A conversation with the Head of College Mr John Weeks
Coffee and Prayer Morning Everyone is welcome tomorrow morning (Friday) for our first Coffee and Prayer Morning in the College Chapel at the Junior School. Start time is 8:00 am with a finish at 8:45 am. This is a time to come together to encourage each other, pray for our children, staff, parents and reflect on the many blessings we are grateful for. Please park in the lower carpark and walk directly to the Chapel where Denise will welcome you. Erg Rowing Champions! Congratulations to all our Erg Rowers on such a successful fundraising Sunday. Led by our Social Justice Prefects and Senior School House Captains, our goal was to raise $10,000, but the students raised $11,138! This money will be used to support victims in the Ukraine, people affected by the floods, and the remainder will go to the Hope Care Café in Kelso. Students rowed a combined distance of over 765 kilometres. This was a mighty effort, and we are so proud of all those who got behind the project. These funds will make a real difference in assisting others in need at this time.

Literature Festival What a blast! Our Year 3-11 students attended presentations by visiting authors, participated in writing workshops, and learnt how to improve the gathering of ideas, planning, structuring, revision and completion of a story. Authors: Gus Gordon, Belinda Murrell, John Larkin, Anna Fienberg and Lesley Gibbes, participated in the Festival this week, and many students took the time to personally meet the authors, discuss their own writing as young people, ask questions and seek advice on how they can develop as writers – a very valuable, real-world skill! Good Luck at the RAS Once again, the students in our Cattle Team will head off to the Royal Agricultural Show in Sydney next week. A large team of 25 students and 29 Limousin and Angus cows will be on display throughout the week. Our Cattle Team students have been dedicated and hardworking in preparing for the show, working and prepping the cattle over the past months. Thanks again to Mrs Dawes for her leadership and passion for this event, and best of luck to all the students. Easter Services Across the Junior and Senior Schools, our Easter Services are planned for next week. For Senior students, these will be conducted through our regular Chapel times, and our Junior School will be held on Thursday, 7 April 2022 with of course, the traditional Easter Hat parade.
