Prayer: Our Lenten Commitment
Next Sunday will be the fifth Sunday in Lent and we continue to prepare for Christ's death and resurrection. We are all challenged to renew ourselves to become a better person.
The students have been challenged to give of themselves, to give of their “time, treasure and talents”. This prayer below calls us to be better people by giving to others.
Merciful Father/Loving Mother,
Help me be generous to others
To make renewal and sacrifice this Lent
so I can be a better person in my life.
I don't always recognise the new life you offer me.
Help me to grow this Lent in an awareness
of the gifts you place in my life
and in a greater appreciation for your care.
Give me the courage to ask for help.

Interim Reports
Interim reports for Years 5 and 6 will be mailed on Tuesday 9 April and Interim reports for Years 7 to 11 will be available on the Portal on the afternoon of Wednesday 10 April.
Please see further details on the Teaching & Learning page of this newsletter.
Changes to Student Personal Learning Devices
As outlined in a previous Woodchatta, the College will gradually remove Administrator Rights from the student PLDs. Commencing next week Year 5 and Year 7 laptops will be recalled for the holiday period to be re-imaged and Administrator Rights removed. The removal of these rights will prevent students from installing games and the like on their school devices.
Year 5 parents will receive further communication from Mr Long and Year 7 parents will receive this from Mr Stollery.
Last Day of Term 1 - Thursday 11 April
The last day for students this term is Thursday 11 April. All students must attend right up till the last day as we have a full day of classes planned, as well as our Easter Liturgy. The College has generous holiday periods and any early leave is strongly discouraged.
Please note that the boys return to school in Term 2 in full Winter Uniform.
