2nd December, 2014 Reflection A Blessing of Peace Deep peace, pure gold of the sun to you. Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you. Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you. Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you. Deep peace, pure brown of the earth to you. Deep peace, pure light of the dew to you. Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the whispering trees to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the shining stars to you. Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you. (Adapted from an Irish prayer)
Awards Night
Student Work
We have had a great response from families who plan to attend Awards Night tomorrow night. It looks to be a full house, so if families can be here ready for a 7.00pm start. I look forward to seeing you there.
Two additional seats for students have been added to the College grounds thanks to the work of three Year 11 students. Bailey Rhodes, Taylah Burfurd and Corey Hanley, as part of their design brief for Design and Technology, planned and constructed two strong and sturdy seats that rim the College oval. As you can see from the photos below the students have done great job and no doubt the seats will be greatly appreciated by all those who sit on them. The area will be completed with paving in the near future. We look forward to further work being developed and constructed by the students and thank Bailey, Taylah and Corey for their contribution.

Buses will be operating on the normal school times. White Ribbon Day-Stamp out violence against women Last week the College supported White Ribbon Day November 25 with a sausage sizzle and sale of white ribbons. A group of Year 8 students ran the BBQ and sold white ribbons, they raised $460. The money will be donated to a local women’s refuge. Thank you to Boden Mugridge, Dominic Bament, Bianca Ottone, Jai Whitehand, Ethan Valentine, Imogen Goullett, Kylie Schembri, Amel Tong, Livinia Mifsud and Kyle Tuckerman and all those students and staff who purchased a white ribbon or sausage from the BBQ.
