Thanks to all the teachers who have been working with the students in rehearsals on each performance as well as the behind the scenes crew who have put in a great effort. Well done to everyone. We have some photos in this edition of The Way.
The South West Festival last Saturday was our best ever wasn’t it? The weather was glorious and close to 10,000 people came through the gates throughout the day. A very large thank you to the organising team, led by our Marketing and Community Relations Manager, Mrs Carmen Pasapera. Special thanks also to all our staff, students and parent volunteers who gave their time to help on the day and also leading up to the event. It is certainly a community effort and it is lovely to see it growing each year.
Today we held the Father’s Day Breakfast. Even though it was a cold and rainy morning it was great to see our Fathers and Grandfathers come along and share in this special time. Thanks to the organising team and our MRK Team in the preparation of a delicious breakfast. We wish all our Dads a nice Father’s Day on Sunday.
Today we announced the Senior Student Leadership Team 2020, including Captains, Vice Captains, Sports Captains and Prefects. This is a wonderful honour for all those elected and to Year 12 in general. We encourage you to pray for these young people as they assume their positions for 2020. A special Assembly will be held next Wednesday for families to commission the leaders. You will find the full list of names further in this edition.
Next week the Year 12 Illuminate Event will be held on Thursday 5 September. This is an important opportunity for the Class of 2019 to showcase major works from Creative Arts, English, Drama, TAS, HSIE and the Extension 2 subjects. It is always great to see the array of talent from our students.
Next week we will be hosting the annual Grandparents Day next Friday in the Junior School. We look forward to welcoming you for this special occasion which provides Grandparents a special opportunity to engage in the lives of their grandchildren at the College.
A reminder that during Term 4 the Administration building will undergo a renovation program to allow us to grow the Clinic and bring the College Counselling Team into the enlarged Health and Wellbeing Centre. We will also add 2 interview spaces and office spaces in the new building. The renovations will naturally have an impact to our visitors entry and will communicate the changes asap. Thanks for your consideration during this time.
Thank you once again for your continued support of the College.
