The end of Term is fast approaching and there are many events taking place at the College.

Our College Open Week will take place next week. This is a wonderful opportunity for our prospective families to take a tour of the College, meet with our leadership team and have their questions answered. Please invite your own family and friends along who may be interested in enrolling in the College.

NAPLAN commenced this week for our students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Many students across the state were impacted by a technical issue on Wednesday. Our students handled themselves very well during the change in circumstances and we are pleased they were able to commence again today. Please continue to pray for these students as they undertake these NAPLAN activities.

Our Movie Night Under the Stars will be held on Friday 31 March. We will be watching the newly released ‘Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile’. There will be food trucks onsite to purchase dinner and snacks from 6pm, as well as entertainment for the children with some great prizes to be won. The movie will commence at sunset (around 7pm). We hope to see many of you there.

Our Easter events are also set to take place in the last few weeks of Term, including chapel services for all our students to reflect on the meaning of Easter. The much-loved Easter Hat Parade for students in Prep to Year 4 will take place in the last week of Term, as well as the Eggshibition, featuring works of students in Years 5 and 6. Find out more about these events in this edition.

There have been some wonderful achievements across the College in the area of sport. Kryshtof In Year 9 recently represented Australia at International level and returned with Silver medal from Asian Open in Jakarta, Bronze medal from Italy and placed 5th in Germany. Well done Kryshtof.

Enjoy reading this edition.
