Every year our Easter Hat Parade and Eggsihibition receives an outstanding attendance by our Junior School families. Thank you for taking the time to be present and support your children in what is a definite highlight for Term 1. The Prep to Year 4 students made beautiful Easter hats with many rising to the challenge to use recycled materials! The Eggsibition equally showcased student creativity across Years 5 and 6, with many students utilising items they already had at home to create their art displays.

Walking through the Eggsibition to see the number of art displays was incredibly encouraging. The Year 6 students really put in their best effort for their last ever entries. Whilst our Year 4 students were buzzing with excitement after viewing the Eggsibition, many were already planning their designs for their first Eggsibition submission next year! It is a joy to have events such as these for students to look forward to each year. It was also a great opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ within our community. Our Junior School Chaplain, Miss Georgia Beikoff explained the Easter message through M&Ms with the words ‘Messiah, Easter, Three and Worship’. I hope students enjoyed the sweet treat and Easter poem that went home with them.

Next term, students return to College on Tuesday 30 April. Not only will it be transition to winter uniform it is also musical week! All the students have started rehearsing and costumes are in process of being made. The first show is on Friday 3 May. Tickets are still available, but limited - see the article below for more details and the link to buy your tickets.

I trust you have an excellent holiday break as a family and your children come back ready for an engaging and strong term of learning on Tuesday 30 April.
