During the holidays a team of teachers and students travelled to Japan to visit our Sister Schools, Fukuroi High School and Takayamamura Junior High. This is always a valuable time of experience and learning for both our students and the Japanese schools they visit. We will hear of their travels in future editions of the newsletter.
Last week another team of students and teachers participated in a Musical Tour to the Mt Gambier Jazz Festival. Along the way they also visited Moama Anglican Grammar School in Victoria where they participated in a workshop together with their vocal group and jazz ensemble. Later that evening, they put on a concert for parents and community. You can read more about their adventures in this edition of The Way.
Last Friday, our current Year 6 and incoming Year 7’s for 2020 had a day experiencing Year 7 for the day. It was great to see so many students participating in various activities and getting a taste of what it will be like when they move onto High School. In a few weeks time we will hold another day of a similar nature for those in Year 5.
This week we have been celebrating with our Mums, Grandmothers and other friends for Mother’s Day. 60 of our College ladies attended a High Tea at the William Inglis for a special event which also raised funds for Breast Cancer Research. Our Mother’s Day Stalls have been well received and today we held a special breakfast to celebrate together. We take this opportunity to wish all our Mums and the special women in our lives, both staff and parents a wonderful day of celebration and time with your family and friends on the weekend.
Next Friday we will say farewell to Mr Nick Lane, our Acting Music Coordinator. Nick is taking up a promotion position in the Macarthur region and we are sad to lose him, yet wish him well as he continues to grow his career. His contribution over the past 5 years has been a blessing to the College.
“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3:22-24
