1st April, 2014 Reflection God our Father, The qualities I see lived out so well in some people are a reflection of your own goodness, and I know that I have much to learn from other people who reflect your image and likeness in different ways. Inspire me to respect others fully as my equals, seeing and loving in them what you see and love in them. Amen An Easter reflection
Parent-Student-Teacher Interviews
May I take this opportunity to thank each member of the CRC Melton community for your commitment and care for our students throughout this term. This has certainly been an extremely busy term made more so by the large number of co-curricular, sporting and cultural initiatives in which students have been involved. As we reflect upon the term, it is important to remember that our primary focus as parents and as teachers is to provide opportunities that will enable our students to participate fully to the best of their endeavors while striving always to extend their horizons, raise their sights and meet the challenges that face them as they strive to be people of integrity in the community.
Our first Parent-Student-Teacher interviews take place this week (April 2 & 3). On Wednesday, normal College classes operate but on Thursday, only VCE Unit 3/4 Classes operate Periods 1 & 2.
In recalling Jesus’ final days of earthly life we pray for all those who are alienated, oppressed and degraded in our world and for the peace of the Easter Season for all. These next two weeks of prayer and reflection remind us that our world is always graced with the hope inspired by Easter Sunday. Mark Sheehan Principal Holidays I wish all our families a restful holiday break. I hope that you have some quality family time and also wish you a Holy Easter. Year 12 students will need to ensure they complete all set work and take this opportunity to revise and consolidate their understanding of the Term 1 work covered.
Wednesday’s Interviews: 4pm to 7pm Thursday’s Interviews: 1pm to 7.30pm
An information sheet on how to book interviews was mailed home last week. It is expected that students attend interviews with their parents/guardians. Overseas Trips Our staff and senior students have safely arrived in Kenya. They are assisting at the Brother Beausang School in Embulbul and from all accounts having a fantastic experience. With the support from the College, Parish and Local communities they raised nearly $20,000 towards building a netball court and other facilities for the students there. We also farewell a second College group that leave this Thursday for our biennial Indonesian trip. All the staff and students are looking forward to both this language and cultural immersion. Reports on both these trips will be published next term.
