12th May, 2015 Reflection For God So Loved the World Blest are you, Lord Jesus, who came to us as a little Child one of us, flesh and blood to share in our humanity; for God so loved the world. Blest are you, Lord Jesus, who came to us as Carpenter and yet in whose creative hands a world was fashioned; for God so loved the world. Blest are you, Lord Jesus, who came to us as Fisherman and yet pointed to a harvest that was yet to come; for God so loved the world. Blest are you, Lord Jesus, who came to us as Teacher and opened eyes to truths that only the poor could understand; for God so loved the world. Blest are you, Lord Jesus, who came to us as healer and opened hearts to the reality of wholeness; for God so loved the world. Blest are you, Lord Jesus, who came to us as prophet, priest and king and yet humbled himself to take our place upon the cross; for God so loved the world. Blest are you, Lord Jesus, who came to us as servant and revealed to us the extent of his Father’s love for human kind; for God so loved the world. Blest are you, Lord Jesus, who rose from the ignominy of a sinner’s death to the triumph of a Saviour’s resurrection; for God so loved the world. That all might have eternal life. Amen.
School Photos - May 28 Full school photos are scheduled for 28 May. Ordering of photos will be online. Details as to how to order photos will be given to students next week. Arthur Reed Photos will also provide the opportunity for family photos. Students will be required to wear full winter uniform for the photos. If a student has PE or a related activity they will need to bring their PE uniform to school and change. Students who will/may be absent on the 28th will have the opportunity to have their photo taken at the catch up day June 4. Celebration Day - May 26 Our senior student leaders launched Celebration Day to the students at our recent full school assembly. The leaders have been meeting, planning, organising and booking activities for the day. The challenge of raising $10,000 ($10 per student) was put to the students. Money raised will be shared with our sister school Brother Beausang College Nairobi, Kenya, Orygen Youth Health and McAuley Community Services for Women.
Attendees heard from the Victoria Police, a Magistrate, a brother who lost his only brother in a single car road accident as a result of drink driving and a convicted driver who served a jail sentence for drink driving and causing injury to others. The message was the same from all speakers, it is human error that is the major cause of death and injuries on our roads. On Monday Year 11 students participated in the Fit 2 Drive program. The interactive workshops and scenarios are designed to help young people make good decisions when faced with risky driving situations, both as passengers, and in terms of their future driving safety. F2D is about changing attitudes and behaviours - not their driving skills. You may have seen the latest TAC advertisement on TV of the young boy sitting in the back seat replicating his father’s driving habits, the message being how we drive, greatly influences how our child will behave behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. What sort of role model are you providing? Robert Blackley Deputy Principal-Students
