Year 7 Camp

Last week, our Year 7 students attended camp at Fulton Park in Forth, where they engaged in a variety of activities focused on teamwork, problem-solving, and physical effort.

 

Throughout the camp, students participated in team-based challenges, water games, took on Lawn Bowls in Ulverstone and tried their hand at Target Golf in Forth. They also completed survival challenges, listened to inspiring testimonies, and gathered around the campfire for worship time, complete with marshmallows! On Friday, a visit to the Gunns Plains Caves provided an opportunity to explore fascinating rock formations and learn more about the region.

 

Students were super respectful, motivated and enthusiastic. They worked together and had so much fun.

Dedication Assembly

This Friday 7th March we invite you to join us as we come together as a school community to dedicate the year to our almighty God.

 

The Dedication Assembly will be held in the Jiloa Centre from 8:40am. Jiloa Cafe will be open and hot drinks are available as we gather, connect, look forward and give thanks in expectation for all 2025 will bring.

 

'Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.'

Ephesians 3:20-21

 

Community members are invited to join us for morning tea outside the Jiloa Centre after the Dedication Service.
