Dear families,
As we edge ever closer to the end of another school year and into Advent, we are reminded of the importance of taking time to slow down, breathe and remember what’s important in life.
Many members of our own school community are currently experiencing significant difficulties.
I ask you to keep the Busuttil family (Logan and Scarlett) in your prayers as baby Harlen awaits a liver transplant. Kristy has also appealed that I share the importance of organ donation with you all.
Elizabeth, Year 3, has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Doctors are confident it is treatable and the prognosis is positive. Elizabeth has commenced treatment and is expected to be able to go home very soon.
We also have many other families with their own private struggles. We ask for your continued prayers.
In another wonderful example of support within our community, I have been inundated with volunteers for new family buddies. Thank you so much to those who have nominated. New families have loved this initiative over the last year and I know it will be an invaluable provision this year also. If you don’t receive a buddy family in this round, I will keep you on our list for future new families.
Our Walkathon raffle was a great success yesterday. Thank you to the P&F who organised the event. Raffles are a tricky scenario for many children to navigate, but we continue to work with them to navigate their understanding of chance and manage their expectations.
Our P&F, SAC and students have some great ideas on how to spend the raised funds. We are attempting to get a few smaller projects done over the Christmas holidays.
Have a blessed weekend,
Thurs 30th of Nov. Screening at 6.30 pm.
At The Sun Theatre in The Barkly Theatre Room.
