You will have received a note about Celebration this year. We have been looking closely at what we have always done for Celebration and reviewed the purpose and relevance for the different members of the community. We would like to make the event more relevant and inclusive for the children by including them in the audience so they can be part of the ceremony and recognise all that has been achieved this year. The content of each event will be targeted to the age group and there will be more opportunities for children to be part of the performances. It also allows for more parents and grandparents to attend and ensures that our younger children are not expected to be at their best way past their usual bedtime. I encourage you to provide us with feedback about how this new initiative works.

This term is also when we welcome new students through our orientations across the College. This year we are trialling more classroom visits for Kindergarten to help make that transition easier, particularly for the students who are not part of our Prep program. We are also preparing to farewell our current Year 6 students as they move into the Senior School. Invitations have been sent for our Year 6 dinner that will again be held at the College at the end of the year.

This weekend 120 students in Years 4 – 6 and a large number of staff from both the Junior and Senior school are attending our annual JAM (Jesus and Me) camp. This is a great opportunity for the students to have an amazing time together, with lots of outdoor adventure activities, as well as an opportunity for them to learn from the bible together. Thank you particularly to Mr Bakarich for his excellent organisation and to the team attending.
