Growing Faith at Home
Sometimes it can be hard to talk about God. You may wonder where to begin! You might think it can be easier to leave it to the ‘experts’ and let them handle it. Grow Ministries offer some conversation starters to ponder. How about trying some of these with your family?

Lunch Time Club Timetable
Please see the Term 4 Lunchtime Club timetable attachment below. It shows students and families what’s on at lunch time.
We would encourage you to use this to help your child reflect on their day and talk about what they played and who they played with at lunch time. It can also be a great tool to use to help your child plan their lunch time, if they are looking for options to connect with their peers in places other than the playground. If you would like a paper copy, please see the Front Office and they will be able to print one for your family. Thank you for all your support in making these clubs happen. It is very much appreciated.
Blessings,
Kate

Dental Care for Children
Children’s oral health is important. Unfortunately, dental decay is still a significant problem for many South Australian children. Dental decay can affect a child’s wellbeing and quality of life. It can lead to pain and many lost hours at school – however it is also a preventable disease.
All children from 0-18 are welcome to attend SA Dental and there are no out-of-pocket costs for most families.
