A Message from the Principal

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you to the parents and carers who attended our 3 Way Parent, Student & Teacher conferences last week. We chose to hold these conferences so that we could seek your opinion about what worked well with learning from home during COVID-19; additionally these conferences have been an ideal way to collaboratively set learning goals for each student. The teachers have remarked to me how engaged the students were in the meetings and keen to share their learning experiences from home and school. On Friday morning you can access a written record of your conference by signing into Compass. Just as you click on a link each week for the school newsletter you will be able to do the same for the written record of your 3 Way Learning Conference. 

This week we have a new section in our school newsletter named ‘Student Voice’. This section will appear fortnightly and will be a way for the students to share with the school community what they believe is important about their education. The School Leaders will contribute articles, photos and videos in this section.

Following is a prayer you may like to personally reflect on or say as a family:

We pray for the power to be gentle; the strength to be forgiving; 

the patience to be understanding; 

and the endurance to accept the consequences of holding to what we believe to be right.

May we put our trust in the power of good to overcome evil and the power of love to overcome hatred.

We pray for the vision to see and the faith to believe in a world emancipated from violence, a new world where fear shall no longer lead men to commit injustice, nor selfishness make them bring suffering to others.

Help us to devote our whole life and thought and energy to the task of making peace, praying always for the inspiration and the power to fulfill the destiny for which we and all men were created.

Take care and be safe

Pauline Long

Principal
