It’s been a great start to the term, hasn’t it?

There is excitement in the air as we start the Term with many great upcoming events and opportunities across the College.

We are excited to present Shrek the Musical over the next two weeks and I would like to personally acknowledge the team of students and staff who have been working hard to bring this to our stage. We look forward to seeing you there. Tickets are still available if you haven’t yet been able to book your tickets.

On Monday, we will have our Senior School Athletics carnival. This is always a great event where students can compete and cheer on their fellow team members. These events are an integral part of school life, aren’t they? They enable every student to find their place and shine no matter their sporting ability.

Next week we will be celebrating Mother’s Day with a special breakfast at the College on Friday. This will be an excellent event to enjoy a continental breakfast with your child. We are also delighted to be able to welcome parents back onsite after all the challenges that COVID has brought. Thank you for continuing to support the College and working with us. You can find all the details for the breakfast in this edition of The Way.

On an interesting note, last year, the College was able to donate furniture from B Block to schools in Onga Wafa, Papua New Guinea (Elementary schools). The furniture has arrived in the cities of Lae and Mutzing. As you are able to see in the photos below, the community helped to carry the furniture across the Markham River. They are destined for the Guruf Primary school, where the head teacher and his board members will distribute them equally among the elementary classrooms. The community there are very excited and thankful for the resources. Isn’t is a good reminder of God’s provision to us and to those we can support?

Thank you for your support too of the College. We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events.
