21st November, 2017 Reflection Lord, in my better times....Lord, in my better times it is easy for me to ask in prayer that I may never allow the negative actions of others to dictate that I should act in a negative way. In the difficult times that I may face in the future, I ask that I may be true to my inner convictions and still look for the best in others, remaining generous towards them. Remind me too, that as times moves on, people can change and their attitude can change for the better. Amen.
Dear Parents and Students, National School Forum On Monday, I attended the National School Forum at Melbourne University. Guest speakers included Professor Glyn Davis AC, James Merlino, Tanya Plibersek and Bill Shorten. Topics of discussion included: Vision for Australia’s education system Improving learning outcomes Raising the status of the teaching profession School leadership 2018 School Fees Parents will have noted that 2018 School fees were published in a recent newsletter. Some parents have been concerned about the increase in Year 7-9 fees from $3,550 to $4000. The increase results from the camp fee and eBooks being included in the overall fee. Please note, in 2017, there was no increase to school fees. Mark Sheehan Principal
