STEWARDSHIP PRAYER
Almighty and ever-faithful Lord, gratefully acknowledging Your mercy
and humbly admitting our need,we pledge our trust in You and each other.
Filled with desire, we respond to Your call for discipleship
by shaping our lives in imitation of Christ.
We profess that the call requires us to be stewards of Your gifts.
As stewards, we receive Your gifts gratefully, cherish and tend them in a responsible manner,
share them in practice and love with others, and return them with increase to the Lord.
We pledge to our ongoing formation as stewards and our responsibility to call others to that same endeavor.
Almighty and ever-faithful God, it is our fervent hope and prayer that
You who have begun this good work in us will bring it to fulfillment in Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen

FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Caregivers
I hope this newsletter finds you well-rested and rejuvenated after the break. As we embark on a new term, we are filled with excitement and enthusiasm for the learning adventures that await us. Welcome back to all our returning students, and a warm welcome to those who have joined our school community this term. We are thrilled to have you with us and look forward to getting to know each of you.
I am delighted to welcome back all our dedicated teachers and staff members who are committed to providing the best possible education and support for our students. I also extend a warm welcome to new staff members who have joined our team this term. Together, we will continue to create a nurturing and inclusive learning environment where every child can thrive.
This term we have an exciting array of activities, projects and events planned to engage and inspire our students. I encourage you to stay informed about what is happening in the school by regularly checking Seesaw, reading our newsletter and following us on social media.
As parent involvement plays a crucial role in a child’s education I encourage all parents and caregivers to actively participate in school life by volunteering in the classroom, becoming involved with the Parents & Friends Group, attending school events and engaging with teachers and staff. Together, we can create a supportive and enriching learning environment for our students.
On behalf of the entire school community, I extend our warmest congratulations to Mrs Lisa Van Nistelrooy, nee Lenzo, and her husband Dwayne, who were married during the school holidays. On behalf of the school community, I wish Lisa & Dwayne all the very best for their future lives together. May their marriage be a source of strength, support and endless joy. May they continue to inspire each other, lift each other up and grow together in love and understanding.
As we wrap up this edition of our newsletter, remember that our school community is stronger when we stay connected and support each other. Let’s continue to inspire one another, uplift each other, and make a positive difference in the lives of our students and families. I certainly look forward to a fantastic term filled with learning, growth and fun!

Welcome back to school, we hope you had a lovely holiday.
We have now added Butter Chicken onto the menu for Term 2. It is GF by ingredients and is very tasty. Alongside the very popular Macaroni Cheese and Spaghetti Bolognaise we have options for a nice hot lunch meal, for when the colder weather actually arrives.
Just some info to advise that we cannot change the ingredients in the Sushi or Focaccia as they are made up for us and delivered.
Thank you for supporting the Canteen.
