The Word
Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it is planted it grows into the biggest shrub of them all. It puts out big branches so that the birds can shelter in it.”
Eze 17: 22-24 | Ps 91 | 2 Cor 5:6-10 | Mk 4:26-34
Look Closer
Kingdom of God. Jesus reminds us that every little act of kindness, love, caring etc. grows into a greater presence of God in our world (like a mustard seed).

Attendance Matters
Attendance Matters
As the winter sets in, we are aware that students are away from school due to illness. It is important that parents advise the school (via email, compass or phone) the reason why your child/children is absent from school. We have an increasing number of unexplained absences in compass. The school must be notified of the reason for absences within a 7 day period. Your support with this matter is appreciated.
Student Spotlight
Wellbeing News
Students have worked very hard to achieve their first SPB4L reward for this term, by being 'responsible’ for their learning. Joeys Gems have been awarded for students presenting their classwork neatly and being organised with all of their equipment for learning. The prize this time was a gear set to go with the Polydron construction set in the hall for lunchtime creative play. Students have been zooming 'cars' around and exploring rotating gears on their building creations! Our new focus is also on being responsible - this time with our belongings in the bag shed. We are responsible by putting our belongings in bags, including jumpers, lunch containers and drink bottles.
What will the next prize be??
