AROUND THE SCHOOL

We are never alone in sharing the faith, because it is the Lord with me who transmits the faith, and Jesus promised: “I will be with you every day until the end of the world.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Lightning Premierships

Last Wednesday the 15th,  most of our senior students were involved in two lightning premierships. On Wednesday the school had teams in football, girl's netball, mixed netball and soccer and were played at Mary Mackillop. All teams were competitive but none were able to move into the grand final stage. 

 

AFLW Competition

Last Friday 17th, there was an AFLW competition and boy's  netball which were played in Wonthaggi. This is the first time the school entered teams in this event and judging from the students' reactions they enjoyed the opportunity. Although neither team progressed into the final all their games were played in a very willing spirit. Many thanks to Nick and Natasha McRae and also to Alan Ironside for their help in umpiring throughout the winter sport program.

 

State Cross-Country

Good luck to Rachel Denbrok and Zara Gannon who will be competing in the State Cross-Country Championship to be held at Bundoora in the first week of next term. Both girls have worked hard and done very well to reach this level.

PRAYER

Dear Lord, 

Today's a new day, a chance for a new start. 

Yesterday is gone and with it any regrets, mistakes, 

or failures I may have experienced. 

It's a good day to be glad and give thanks, and I do, Lord. 

Thank you for today, a new opportunity to 

love, give, and be all that you want me to be. 

Amen.
