Most families will know that the FIFA Women’s World Cup takes place in July and August. In a special program for the College the South Korean Women’s team will use our facilities for training ahead of the Cup. This will be a highlight for our students, and we will bring you an update closer to the program.
It was great to have a visit from representatives of Australia’s Women’s Para Football squad during the week, with our own staff member Miss Georgia Beikoff as host. Georgia has represented Australia in the last Para Football World Cup and the Paralympics in Japan in recent times.
No doubt families of Kindy, Year 1 and 2 are looking forward to the Creative Arts performances next week which will be full of colour and excitement. Thanks to the staff as they finalise the preparations.
The College has established Sister School relationships both National and International and in the last month or so we have engaged with these schools. The recent Japanese tour allowed our students to visit the 2 Japanese Sister Schools in Takayama and Hammamatsu. The Takayama High School students will return to the College later in the year.
Recently, during the last fortnight, staff members from our interstate Sister Schools, Nambour Christian College in QLD and Tyndale Christian School in SA spent 2 days at Thomas Hassall for professional discussion and collaboration. We are working towards a program to involve students in this valuable exchange.
The Junior School Athletics Carnival was held yesterday at Campbelltown and in fine weather conditions. Importantly the attendance was very high and performances at a high standard. We are looking at the best ways to engage all students in Athletics skills programs. Thanks to Mrs Evans and every staff member of the Junior School for such an important event.
My thanks also on your behalf to Mrs Easton for acting as principal of the College in my absence at the start of term. Thanks again for your continued support of our programs.
Truly my soul finds rest in God; My salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress; I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2
