This is the last edition of The Way for Term 1 and I want to start by thanking everyone for a fabulous start to the year. We have enjoyed so many opportunities to showcase different talents in classrooms, sporting activities and creative thinking.
Term 2 will begin with the musical The Little Mermaid and we are very much looking forward to being transported ‘under the sea’ and being enchanted by the hard work of all involved. A large number of tickets have already been sold – and some shows are nearly booked out. It promises to be an excellent production so please make sure you purchase your tickets now.
The school holidays are on the horizon and traditionally we see these weeks as an opportunity to relax and refresh. I think these are also great times to think ahead and to try something new. My challenge is often to look for the miracles in every day and rejoice in the many wonders that we are so blessed to have in Australia. Time with friends, watching a movie, reading a book can all offer new insights and different perspectives that encourage us to step outside our own experiences. This is equally true for our children. Can I encourage you to limit screen time and go outside? Learning a new skill, playing sport or attempting a new recipe with your family can be a pleasant change in pace.
I wish you all a safe and restful break and look forward to hearing from the students the many experiences they have had and what they have learned through these times.
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
Psalm 23:1-3
