Guest Speaker – Shane Yarrow shares story on forced adoption
Our Year 10 students had the opportunity yesterday to hear from Shane Yarrow, who shared his personal story of being separated from his mother through forced adoption in Australia.
Chaplain Karen Term 1 Recap
In Term 1, we ran eight weekly girls’ groups across Years 7–9, with 68 students exploring Radical Jesus—a study on Jesus’ life, teachings, and impact. Year 5 and 6 student leaders also took part in leadership groups, learning what it means to lead like Jesus through the fruit of the Spirit.
Seven of our Year 10 and 11 students attended the first CCM Chapel Conference, gaining ideas and inspiration for student-led chapels.
We relaunched our Mother-Daughter event in Week 10, with strong attendance and positive feedback. A Mother-Son event is planned for Week 10 of Term 2.
This term, we’re launching two new discipleship groups for Year 10 and 11 girls and a new student-led lunchtime Bible group. There are still spots available—please contact me at karen.becker@staines.qld.edu.au if you are interested to join.
