Term 1, Week 9
Today’s Assembly held particular significance as it coincided with Harmony Day. Students showcased their diverse cultural backgrounds by dressing in traditional attire.
Mrs. Reid delivered today’s devotion centred on the theme of ‘Love and Kindness’. As part of the devotion, she assigned a couple of Prep students the task of building a catapult. Recognising the difficulty, some Year 6 students graciously stepped in to assist. Mrs. Reid concluded by emphasising that such acts exemplify the essence of love and kindness: helping others in times of need.
To see the outcome of our students’ efforts in constructing a working catapult, watch the video below.
It was a joy to launch our very first Faithlabs session on Monday 2 June! Led by Mr Lachlan Palmisano, this new group creates space for students to explore life’s big questions at the intersection of faith and science.
Jesus was rough on Pharisees: ‘Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness’ (Matthew 23:28 NLT). They put on a good front but were devoid of grace, mercy, and compassion. And Jesus called them on it! Because we live in an appearance-focused society, Jesus warns us about the dangers that come from dwelling on the outer life at the cost of developing the inner life. So, how do you keep that from happening?
It was fantastic to celebrate our students today as they received Character Strengths Awards at our Primary Assembly, recognising their growth and commitment to living out these values.
