23rd August, 2016 Reflection Lord, in the world that you love so much Lord, in the world that you love so much we are surrounded with advertising on the streets, in magazines, on TV and on the Internet – all trying to convince us of ways of enjoying ourselves and becoming likeable and popular. Keep our vision clear and show us how to distinguish between what is shallow and what is of lasting value. Inspire us to choose ways of deeper happiness that lead to fullness of life. We ask this of you who said so clearly: ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’. Amen
Dear Parents & Students, ‘Out of Africa’ What a terrific night we experienced last Thursday night as our staff, students and parents came together for ‘Out of Africa’. I was proud to see many wonderful performances from students in the dancing and their costumes were magnificent. Our dancers included:
Lou Apieu, Grace Nuer and Naima Koko from Year 9 Nylcour Malual, Monica Dor and Abui Dau from Year 8 Achol Manon, and Gisma Lieba from Year 10 Sofia Mbuto, Adela Marinjira and Agnes Alumbulwa - Year 8 girls doing the Congo routine
Senior students also spoke about aspects of African culture:
Taban Dau and Sarah Manyok Thiak spoke about family roles within their culture Adhieu Moses and Awein Kir Deng spoke about the ritual of Weddings in the Sudanese community
I would also like to acknowledge the presence of former College Captain Annika Miesen (2012). Annika spoke with great passion about her 3 visits to Br Beausang school in Kenya.
The funds raised from this event go directly to Br. Beausang school with whom CRC has had a long and supportive association. Special thanks to Marg Rowe Watts, Belinda Brown, Robyn Sullivan and Claire Hume. Mark Sheehan Principal
