Growing Faith at Home

In addition to the usual Growing Faith at Home resource that I normally share, I would like to flag this resource that Grow Ministries released last week.

To quote them:

“In light of the current uncertain times we wish to support homes to engage with each other in meaningful and intentional ways around God’s word. We have collated a number of our favourite resources for the coming four weeks and they are FREE. We pray that they will encourage and support you during this difficult time.”

A good time to check your child's digital device......

We encourage you to sit down with your stage 3 or 4 student to:

*share learning

*delete unecessary videos and photos

*organise and set up folders

*delete what is unecessary

*chat about the challenges and joys of digital technology

Please see the attachment for changes to the way this is currently being delivered:

Aquaponics

Due to restrictions re Covid-19, this is the last week will be taking orders via Qkr! until we are back to some normality.

Thank you for supporting our produce garden, it's an exciting venture and our stage 4 students work with pride to offer and deliver this incredible service through their passion groups.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers who assist in passion groups each week. We cannot say thank you enough for your passionate support and gifting of talents.

We will be back!!

Missing the Chapel Songs?

We would like to invite you to our Good Shepherd Lutheran School Chapel Songs 2020 Playlist on Youtube.

Here you will find a selection of songs that we have sung in Chapel so far this year.

We are also working towards Weekly Playlists that, where possible, share what we are currently doing in the Class Version of Weekly Chapel in response to the current circumstances. Please note, this part remains a work in progress.

God’s Peace be with each one of you, no matter where you are reading this from!
