Among the final events that Year 12 did at the College before they graduated, included reading Bible stories to Kindergarten students and praying with staff.

Kindergarten Visit

Year 12 students visited Kindergarten to say hello and good bye. While there, they read Bible stories and gave Kindergarten a copy of a parable that Jesus told. Some Kindergarten students were overwhelmed with the size of their older counter-parts, but they quickly were put at ease and thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Prayer Breakfast

Around 30 staff prayed for Year 12 over an early morning breakfast this week that was provided by the wonderful team in Mrs Riitano's Kitchen. Staff prayed that they would finish their time at the College well, that they wouldn't be anxious about the future and trust in the peace of God.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

Principal Mr Ross Whelan, reminded the Year 12 students that it might be a time to restore relationships, restore lost positions and restore books to the library. Year 12 student Sarah Gibbon, encouraged her peers to hold on to God by sharing how she has been supported in doing so by staff and students at the College.  

The Class of 2018 have had a significant impact on the College and they will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
