EASTER RAFFLE

DONATIONS: Thank you so much to all our families for donating Easter items. Your generosity is very much appreciated. We were able to make 12 or so hampers and one to donate to St Vincent de Paul's to help a family less fortunate than ourselves.

HOUSE ATHLETIC CARNIVAL

On Wednesday the 23rd of March, We held our Senior Athletics Carnival at the Leongatha Velodrome. Students participated in all the events throughout the day with fantastic enthusiasm, endeavour and sportsmanship, even through a couple showers of rain! Well done to all students!

This year, we were lucky enough to have the support of the Leongatha Little Athletics Club on the day, with use of their facilities, venue and equipment. This along with Ben Cruickshank guiding us through the timing system on the day made for an efficient and successful sporting carnival. Thank you to the LLAC and Ben for their help.

A massive thank you also to all parents/carers who assisted with setting up, helping throughout the day and packing up. A large event like the athletics sports couldn’t go ahead without your help and it is very much appreciated.

EASTER PRAYER

“Lord, how can we ever thank You enough? You endured more pain, more shame, more sorrow, more grief than we can possibly fathom. Help us remember why You gave Your life. Because of love. Because of mercy. Because we desperately need them both.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen.”
