Lord,
Let me wake up every morning and be
Thankful for the wonderful life you have given me.
Help me to see the good in things.
Guide me in the way that I get to show the world my gifts.
I thank you for my health, love, abilities, friends and family.
Today I am grateful
Amen
Message from the Principal
Dear Parents and Carers
Thank you for your support during what was a challenging start to the week, with the first Covid positive case in our community. We appreciate the adherence of families to the Covid protocols at our school which are in place to support the health and wellbeing of our community. A summary of these protocols are as follows:
- Parents should only attend the school office in the event of a significant pastoral or welfare issue related to their child.
- Wherever possible interactions by staff with parents should take place over the phone or via email/online
- Gatherings of parents at school must be avoided
- Years 1 – 3 pick up from Kiss and Drive (and older siblings)
- Years 4 - 6 pick up from Koman Way or the basketball courts
Tell Them From Me Survey
We would like to hear from you. We ask that all families complete this short survey which will provide us with valuable information about your experience at our school. All teachers and students in Years 4 to 6 will be taking a similar survey. A summary of the survey results will be published in our newsletter.

Reflection
When we face challenges in our daily lives or as a community, let us be reminded to place our faith, hope and trust in Jesus.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11: 28-30
God bless you all.
Ondine Komnick
