End-of-Year Activities 

Mrs Bertalli and Mr Butcher have developed an Activities Program for Thursday 15th and Friday 16th December. The students have been emailed a program and a google form to elect the different activities they wish to undertake. Information regarding the activities will be sent home via Compass next week seeking permission and money for the different activities. 

It is essential that permission and money is completed by Friday 9th December so that transport and activities can be finalised. 

It will be a great way to finish the year with students spending some valuable time together. Students who wish to participate in activities must ensure they are present on Wednesday 14th December for our annual Prizegiving and Advent Liturgy. Students on Stage 2 or above will need to undertake activities at school. We thank you for your support. 

Advent Liturgy and Prizegiving

This year our Advent Liturgy and Prizegiving will take place on Wednesday 14th December at 9.30am. Parents and families are welcome to attend this special event as we end our year, prepare for the season of Christmas and celebrate the achievements of our students for the year. A morning tea will follow the prizegiving and families are invited to stay and celebrate the end of the year with staff, families and friends. 

Students must come to school in full school uniform, and polished school shoes, looking their best. Students can bring their PDHPE uniform to change into for House activities which will follow the Prizegiving. If you would like to take your child home you will need to sign them out at the front office. We look forward to having you at the College to share in this event. 

Advent 

For centuries, Christians around the world have used the four weeks leading up to Christmas to prepare themselves for celebrating the birth of Jesus. Each week is dedicated to remembering and pondering a key biblical theme that was fulfilled in the arrival of Jesus: peace, hope, joy, and love. 

The first Sunday of Advent this year will be Sunday, November 27th. 

The first Sunday of Advent gives us the opportunity to centre our thoughts on hope. It's a beautiful chance to remember the hope God offers to our lost and uncertain world, and that He's given us through Jesus.

On this first Sunday of Advent, as we prepare our hearts to celebrate Jesus’ arrival as a gift to all humanity; let’s stir up in our hearts and homes a sense of anticipation. Over this Advent, we pray that hope would rise up in our spirits in a tangible and life-giving way
