Just this week we have celebrated ‘Unite Week’ across the College.
This is a student-led initiative to celebrate the cultural diversity in our College. It’s always a special time to see students engaged in learning about other cultures while embracing their own. Thank you to our entire community for such a strong support of 'Unite' events during the week. Enjoy looking at some of the highlights later in this edition.

College sporting teams and talented individuals have been very active recently. Students have competed in a vast array of competitions and events. On Monday our football squads played in the Bill Turner Cup. The girls team played well against Casula High School, however unfortunately did not win their game. Our boys team also played well and demonstrated great teamwork, winning their game against Sefton High School 2-0. They will progress to the next round to play in the semi-finals for the South West Zone against Cecil Hills High School in the coming weeks.
Three students competed in the Christian Schools Sports Association (CSSA) State Gymnastics competition representing the College last week. McKenna, Faith and Elijah all did exceptionally well in their events and you can read the results of this later in The Way.
We were able to open Café MRK to parents last Friday and again this morning. I have enjoyed connecting with families over a cuppa. If you haven’t already, why not come along next Friday between 7.30-9.30am?
On Monday we celebrate the Queen’s Birthday with a holiday, and with only 2 weeks until the end of the Term, we pray that you and your families will stay healthy during the winter season. In the first 5 weeks of Term 3, I will be taking leave, and one of our 3 Deputy Principals, Mr David Butler will be the Acting Principal. Many of you already know Mr Butler and we are already thankful for his outstanding leadership and encouragement. If necessary, you are able to contract him through College Reception in the normal manner.
May the Lord bless and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
