We celebrated Midnight Mass at Bethlehem, which was an amazing experience. We travelled from eJerusalem to the beautiful Galilean
region, to Eliat, to Tel Aviv, the Golan

Update 1993 has begun as a very busy year. English Profiles have been introduced in the Junior School, Prep to Year Six. Profiles are
the basis for reporting a student's strengths and weaknesses in key areas of learning. They provide a common language and framework for charting a student's progress which will assist in the communication of detailed
and accurate information between teachers, parents and other schools if the student transfers. Each child's profile will be carried through to Year Ten level resulting in a very comprehensive graph of development. Presently we are using a new document titled "Mathematics Course Advice" to evaluate our
Prep to Year Six curriculum. A group of teachers from Years Five, Six, Seven and Eight have established a working party to
oversee the mathematics program in the areas of content, learning experiences and
assessment. The aim of this working party is to strengthen the ties between Junior and Senior School.
For the second year a group of Year Six students has entered the Mathematical
Olympiad Competition, a national competition conducted by the University of New South Wales. We wish them well.
A Board of Studies has been implemented within the last six months. The Board, com-
