Middle School
Cross Country Event
On Monday 3 April, all Middle School students attended the annual Cross Country Event in beautiful Bonython Park. It was a lovely sunny morning and a wonderful atmosphere of support. Students cheered each other on as they completed the 3km course in age group heats. Students were timed and those who finished in the fastest time frames will continue on to compete at the SACSA Cross Country Event in early Term 2.
Blessings,

From 9 Brice
As part of the Rite Journey Program in Year 9, students were asked to design a symbol that represents themselves. The students could choose to include anything they'd like in their symbol. Many students chose to incorporate things that are important to them such as things that they love and enjoy doing, and their hopes and dreams for the future. Many students also chose to weave-in bible verses or include symbols of faith in their designs.
In Home Group 9B, once the students had designed their symbols they spent a lesson in the Art Room, painting their beautiful and unique symbols onto canvas. These canvases were used to create a display in our class room which represents each of the unique, individual and much-loved members of our Home Group. Each student had the opportunity to share their symbol with the class and we discussed how wonderful it is that we are all uniquely shaped and made by our creator. As Ephesians 2:10 says,
"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."
