Dear Parents, It was great to see so many of you attending the swimming carnival on Wednesday the 11^th February. I really appreciated seeing the enjoyment of our students and how well they participated and competed on the day.  I would like to thank Mr Gosper for his coordination of the event and all the staff and volunteer parents who helped make it a fantastic day for our community.  It is exciting that forty of our students will be representing the school at the Zone carnival on Monday 22^nd February. The staff and I were also very encouraged and thankful for the number of parents that attended the meetings over the last few weeks.  They provided rich opportunities for both new and existing members of our community to get to know each other and hear more about what God is doing in the midst of our school. Our senior school students are starting to receive their Term 1 assessment tasks. We are encouraging them to work consistently on each of them so as to avoid the stress of completing them at the last minute.  In each case, if your child is appearing overwhelmed or needing additional support, please get them to speak with their teachers.  We are committed to enabling and supporting each of our students to complete all of their assessments to the best of their ability. If you have any questions about upcoming events, please do not hesitate to contact the office. God Bless Dave Johnston
