Father's Day Stall
Hello School Community,
As the Father’s Day Stall Team, we are excited to start planning for the stall which is coming up in Week 6 Term 3! How exciting!
There's a couple of things we'd like to communicate at this point:
* We are looking for 2-3 team members to join our team. We meet occasionally in person; we are in regular online communication with each other otherwise; we work well together as a team, drawing on each other's giftings and strengths. We are specifically looking for someone to help coordinate the raffle, but what we are looking for is not limited to that.
Please be in touch with Sarah Pound croc0027@hotmail.com or Jodi Quast quast.jodi@gmail.com if you are interested.
* The DATES for Father’s Day Stall are
Tuesday 27th Aug, Wed 28th and Thurs 29th August 12 - 3pm.
Please take note of these if you intend to volunteer at the stall.
* We would love the parent community to be involved again by donating homemade gifts for the Stall. We had such beautiful gifts donated for the Mothers day stall and are very grateful for this. We are looking forward to contributions now for the Fathers Day Stall. Please deliver them to the front office for pickup and contact one of the team members so we are aware of what's been donated.
Thank You all.

ICAS Online Competitions

Dear Stage 3 & 4 Parents/Caregivers,
Each year at Good Shepherd Lutheran School Para Vista, we offer an opportunity for our students to participate in the ICAS Online Competitions. These are academic competitions that give students the chance to test their higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in Digital Technologies, Maths, Science and Writing. These competitions will take place in August this year
Participation is optional. This is an opportunity for students who wish to challenge and extend themselves.
If your child is interested in this opportunity, or if you have further questions, please get in touch with me via email (jared.grierson@gspv.sa.edu.au) or come see me in person. You can find me in the office near the library.
Jared Grierson
Teaching and Learning Leader
This helps us ensure that your child is safe and accounted for, and that we have the correct information regarding their absence.
Growing Faith at Home
This week’s resource is entitled ‘Jesus has the power to help in time of trouble’. We all encounter difficult situations in life at one time or another... The disciples themselves faced a life-threatening situation... they turned to Jesus and his response was nothing short of miraculous. (Check out Mark 4:35-41) Have a look at this week’s resource for some ideas and conversation starters to use with your family: Draw a picture or talk about time you were afraid. Who helps you when you are afraid?
Have a great week!
