Community Engagement Survey
PTA is delighted that the Twilight Festival was voted as the No. 1 thing that families and students wish the school would continue with. Thank you to all those who help make this event happen including clubs, codes, staff and friends of the PTA. We’re certainly planning to continue with the Twilight Festival in 2019.
Kindness Video Competition – Prizes – Three $500 Prezzy Cards!
To launch a kindness campaign in the school we are providing students with the opportunity to produce a video with a kindness theme.
“As I have shared with students, staff and wider community, kindness is one of my four non-negotiables. Kindness is central to our faith, the Bible preaches kindness in the Old and New Testaments. In Galatians, kindness is listed as one of the fruits of the Spirit. These are the nine attributes of a person or community living in accord with the Holy Spirit. Kindness is powerful and there are many ways we can practice it to the benefit of our entire college community”.
Matt Dalton
Principal
