Book Week Costume Parade

This year, our Kindy to Year 6 students took part in the Book Week Costume Parade. Dressed as their favourite book characters, they proudly showcased their costumes to parents and fellow students during the parade. Afterward, they continued marching around the school, giving high fives to the secondary students and teachers. Notably, this was the first time our Kindy students participated in the event.

Devotion – The Blessings of Battle

When you commit your life to Christ, you switch sides. Now you’re up against three things. The world with its pressures, values, and agenda. The flesh, with its impulses and weaknesses. The devil, who is out to defeat you. But God would never allow us to get into a fight we couldn’t win, so let’s consider three blessings of battle.

Playgroup – We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

After some fun with musical instruments, the children enjoyed reading "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen. We then set up activity stations inspired by different scenes from the book, such as crossing a river, braving a snowstorm, and swishing through grass.

Devotion – The Habit of Joyful and Confident Hope

Does it feel like the attack coming against you right now is more than you can bear? If so, read this: ‘Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,’ (Romans 5:3-4 ESV). Notice that you can reach a place of spiritual maturity where you automatically respond to difficulty with ‘joyful and confident hope.’ It’s easy to say, ‘don’t worry’, but to actually do that requires experience with the faithfulness of God.
