I have been reflecting on the ways that moments shape who we are and who we become and found this quote, “We do not remember days, we remember moments.” How true is this when we watch our children learn and grow as they experience what the world has to offer? Sometimes, we wish that they would grow up quickly and other times we want to linger over special times captured in unique moments.
This week has been photo week at the college. It is always a frantic time with students and staff alike making sure that they are well presented and ready to capture a moment in time. These moments are precious, and I want to commend the students for their politeness and courtesy to our photographers and for the way they represented themselves this week.
We have also celebrated our mothers and joined in a magnificent breakfast this morning. The MRK staff do an amazing job catering for this occasion and I am also grateful to the whole team who spend a significant amount of time planning and organising this event. I trust that the morning was enjoyable for those who were able to attend. Over 1300 mums and grandmothers with students joined together reminding us of the importance of family and relationships. Another important moment where we can come together.
Term 2 has been full and there has been a lot to celebrate and many opportunities for students to participate in performance, sport, and academic activities. We will complete the term with Unite Week, where we can celebrate our diversity and unity as a college. It is a significant moment each year in our calendar and one that reminds us that we all belong.
As the term draws to an end, I want to encourage everyone to take some time to rest and seek out special experiences and moments during the term break. I hope you can find time to have fun together and discover new moments of connection. Please stay safe and warm, enjoy the break and we look forward to seeing you again next term.
Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
Psalm 62:1
