2nd June, 2015 Reflection The Most Holy Trinity God the Father, we praise and bless you because you are the ‘Abba’ of Jesus, and our Father, also lavishing us with your compassion and forgiveness. God the Son, we praise and bless you because you are God’s Word in human flesh, revealing on earth God’s forgiveness and compassion. God the Holy Spirit, we praise and bless you because you are the breath of God’s love and you breathe in us. God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we praise and bless you. You are God, through eternity. To you we direct our love, forever and ever, Amen.
Preparation for Exams
Important Dates
Students across the school will be sitting formal exams over the next week or so. The old adage is “failure to prepare is preparing to fail” so I hope that all students spend the extra time in their preparation for exams. Families too can support their sons and daughters by nurturing a “study climate” in the household — structured TV time, few social interruptions, a healthy diet, exercise and sleep cycles. Best wishes to all students in their exams.
Friday, June 5 is a Professional Learning day for staff. This is a student free day. Monday, June 8 is the Queens’ Birthday Public Holiday. Monday, June 22 is the College mid-year Report Finalisation and Professional Learning day. This is a student free day. Students Achievements
Mark Sheehan Princiapl School Photos Full school photos were held last week, it was very impressive to see, all but a few students, in the full winter uniform. Some students and families were unable to have their photo taken last week. The school photographers are returning this Thursday morning June 4th for a catch up of those students. There is still the opportunity to place orders online up until 10 days from the day of the photos if you haven’t already done so. Follow the link shop.arphotos.com.au/schoolorder and use the ordering code CCM687. Robert Blackley Deputy Principal-Students
