This week communities around Australia celebrate World Teachers’ Day. We are fortunate to be blessed with a staff of educators who all impact our students and families in many positive ways. As a staff we take our role of walking with Jesus as central to our roles. Whether it is directly within a classroom, on yard duty, in an enrolment meeting, making budgeting decisions, providing first aid or looking after God’s creation each member of our staff walks in Jesus’ footsteps. The following words Taken from "Responding to God's Call" by Jesus Manaog goes some way in explaining that walking in Jesus’ footsteps in our school is more than a math class or reading practice.
The Teacher
He never taught a lesson in a classroom,
He had no tools to work with,
No blackboards, maps, or charts.
He used no subject outlines, kept no records,
Gave no grades, and His only text was
Ancient and well-worn.
His students were the poor, the lame,
The deaf, the blind, the outcasts, and sinners.
And His method was the same with all
Who came to hear and learn.
He opened eyes to faith,
He opened ears with simple truth
And borne of forgiveness.
A gentle man, a humble man,
He won no honors,
No gold awards of tribute to His expertise or wisdom.
And yet this quiet teacher from the hills of Galilee
Has fed the needs, fulfilled the hopes,
And changed the lives of many millions.
For what He taught, brought heaven to earth
And revealed God's heart to mankind.

ICAS ASSESSMENTS 2024
This year we introduced optional ICAS assessments for our students in Year 3-6. These are internationally recognised academic competitions that have been sat by over 10 million school students from 16,000 schools across 41 countries since 1981.
The assessments recognise academic performance in a way similar to sports or the arts, with engaging, fun questions designed by psychometricians, education measurement experts and experienced teachers to test students’ higher-order thinking skills.
They also provide rich insights into students’ strengths and weaknesses, helping teachers to accelerate learning outcomes and unlock student potential.
The ICAS assessments can be offered across many subject areas but this year we chose to offer English and Maths.
We had a number of Year 4 and 5 students take up the opportunity to participate with some excellent results.
We congratulate the following students:
