In Praise of...

This week I am commending our Level 5/6 Outdoor Education Elective Group. With the dismal weather, their beach clean up was abandoned, however, with determination driving them forward they surged on to clean up our local council baseball and softball ovals next door and boy did they do a stirling job! They bagged up so much rubbish. They would need to in order for next door to look anywhere as good at the Fatima property! Our students look after our grounds so well. There is rarely any rubbish around! Well done everyone. You outdid yourselves!

In Praise of a very special ANZAC writer, Max

ANZAC DAY

I once stood where the battlefields blow 💣 

shot to death and now I’m broke in a graveyard 🪦 

I sleep beneath the stars of hope and peace ✌️

along the fields poppies grow agile petals of hope

I survived until the end and I’m with my friends up in the sky 

birds 🦅 still fly with hopes & dreams I wish I could speak but now I bleed 🩸 

terrified of another dream

still seeking peace I’m not alone 

got friends and family.🌹.
