Pastoral Care

A HUGE thankyou to the staff and students who volunteered their time this week to prepare a meal for CAREVAN.  This act of kindness makes a significant difference in the lives of those less fortunate and provides opportunities for people to socialise and reduce barriers within the community.

This week I have also been hearing about the inspiring work our year 12 SOS (Sharing Our Stories) students have been doing within our local community. Students were asked by their teachers Mr Neville and Mr Moore to provide an act of kindness to others and assist a service in some way . Not only has this experience provided practical support it has demonstrated to the students the power of kindness.  Students gained a better understanding of applying their Christian values and beliefs within the community and experienced or witnessed the impact of poverty or the suffering of people who are currently experiencing personal hardship. For many students it was an emotional experience and made them appreciate and be grateful for what they are blessed with. Congratulations to the staff for inspiring the students and for the students who demonstrated compassion, maturity and respect for others.

Next week we are celebrating HARMONY DAY and I am certain those who are new to our school community will be amazed by the standard of talent we have and the level of pride students and staff have for their cultural heritage. The day promises to be our best celebration thus far.

Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe
