Swim School

Year 1 are very excited for swim school early next term. Please ensure that you have given permission for your child via Edumate and sent in your child's swimming grading form.

History

At the end of this term, your child will bring home a set of questions to interview a grandparent or elderly neighbour. If you could please assist them with the interview and send them back completed in Week 1 of Term 4, that would be greatly appreciated.

Tear Fund

Year 1 are really excited to help people around the world who are in need. As we have been learning about water this term, our goal is to raise money to buy a water well. The holidays provide an excellent time for your child to completed some extra jobs to raise money for Tear Fund. Thank you for your support.

History Family Outing

Over this term students have been researching local places that were significant in the past. We would love for families to find the time over the holiday break to visit one or more of these places so that students can connect what the location looks like today, compared to what it was like in the past. These places are; Rouse Hill House and Farm, Bella Vista House and Farm, Battle of Vinegar Hill Memorial, and the Riverstone War Memorial. If you have any questions, please ask our Year 2 teachers.

Term 4 Resources

On the last day of term, students will be sent home with their pencil cases. Please take the time over the break to check supplies and ensure students have the relevant equipment ready to commence learning in Term 4. Lead pencils in particular are starting to get low and it would be great to check if these need replenishing. Please ensure pencil cases are brought back on the first day next term.

Tear Fund

Each year the College supports the work of Tear Fund. This is a great opportunity for students to be involved in helping people around the world who are in need and in practising gratefulness for the resources we are blessed to have. Each of our Year 2 classes have set themselves a fundraising goal. The holidays will be an excellent time for your child to complete some extra jobs around the house to raise money for our Tear Fund. Fundraising forms have been sent home and more details can be found in the relevant email sent home on the 12th of September.

Enjoy the Break!

From the Year 2 teaching team, we wish you all a safe and enjoyable break. We are so proud of each and every student and all they have achieved in their learning and growth this term. We pray that you return to the College feeling refreshed and share all the fun family opportunities you were able to enjoy. We always love seeing photos and can recieve these via email if you wish to share.

History Resources

As part of our Community History Unit, Year 3 will be constructing a model of Cartwright Cottage, inspired by our excursion to the Pioneer Village. We would greatly appreciate it if parents could provide materials such as cardboard boxes, foil, tape and paddlepop sticks to support the students in this hands-on project.

2025 Leadership Applications

Year 5 have begun the process of prayerfully considering and applying for 2025 leadership positions. Students were walked through the 2025 Leadership Application Document (which is accessible on the Canvas homepage) and were visited by current Year 6 leaders to find out more about what it means to be a leader and what it involves. Leadership applications will close at the end of Week 9 on the 27th September. Please ensure all applications have been submitted by this date. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Tear Fund

We are really excited to participate in Tear Fundraising once again this year. This is a great opportunity for students to be involved in helping people around the world who are in need and in practising gratefulness for the resources we are blessed to have. The holidays will be an excellent time for your child to complete some extra jobs around the house to raise money for our Tear Fund. Thank you for your support.
