We would like to remind families, that due to the timing of Easter, we started a week early this year. This means that this School Holiday break will be for 3 weeks. Students will return to school on Tuesday, 29th April.

During Term 2, we will have a changeover period for the first week with regard to uniforms. Parents are asked to use their discretion as to which uniform is the most suitable for students to wear. As of Monday, 5th May, all students will be expected to wear winter uniforms.

Prayer Meeting in DC

Starting in Term 2, Tuesday, 29th April, a Parents’ Prayer Meeting will be held weekly to pray for the school, the larger school community, students, teachers and any specific needs.

We will be meeting each Tuesday morning at 9.15am in DC1 (in the Discovery Centre). We would love to encourage all those who can make it to join us. Just one prayer can make a big difference.

John 14:12-14 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!”

How amazing that God even cares about ‘anything’ that we ask for. He even takes that care further by reassuring us twice that He will do it!
