25th July, 2017 Reflection In the Midst of Winter Lord,in the midst of Winter, when the days are cold and wind can pierce remind us of the warmth of your love. In the midst of Winter, when days are short, dawn comes late, and dusk arrives early remind us that in the darkness your light still shines. In the midst of Winter, when the flowers of spring still lie hidden in the earth, when leaves are off the trees, and the world can seem bleak remind us that Spring is but a short time away. And when in our lives we feel as if we are experiencing a season of winter, reach out to us with the power of your resurrection so that we may feel the warmth of your love and see your light that alone can take away the darkness of our soul. Amen (Cal Wick)
Dear Parents and Students, Q&A audience
A group of Year 11 Legal Studies students led by Daniela Harrington and Lauren Hill were in the audience of ABC’s Q&A last night. It was the Victorian Schools Special edition of the program. A question from Dylan Naumovski was short-listed to be asked: ‘I think we can all say that many people in the audience and viewers have been a part of, witnessed or been victims of cyber bullying, also as we know many as a result take their own lives due to the disgusting and demeaning statuses that cyber bullies post about them. What has been done in Parliament to try and decrease suicide rates and to stop cyberbullies from bullying in schools and society?’ Thanks to Mrs. Harrington for organising this special event and well done to the students involved. Alice Down the Rabbit Hole Good luck to students and staff involved this week in Alice Down the Rabbit Hole. It looks to be a night of high energy and entertainment. Mark Sheehan Principal
