Welcome back to Term 4! I hope you all enjoyed a restful and refreshing break and time together as a family. This is a full and exciting term, and I look forward to sharing it with our students, families, and staff.

We begin by praying for our Year 11 and 12 students, who sit their HSC exams in Weeks 1-4. These students have worked hard over many years, and this is a significant time for them and their families. Please keep them in your prayers as they prepare for and sit these exams. 

Alongside the HSC, school life continues with plenty of energy. After a short break last term for Peter Pan Jr., Band returns on Friday morning! Hopefully everyone has been making the most of the opportunity to practise during the holidays. Our Extra-Curricular Clubs will also resume on Friday for students across Kindy to Year 10, with new options available. As always in Term 4, our Primary students will attend swim school each week. There are also some wonderful excursions this term, including our Stage 5 Outdoor Recreation elective class’s off-site practicals, and Year 2’s ‘Digging Up the Past’ excursion. We will also hold a Saturday Working Bee, a great opportunity for families to help around the school and enjoy working alongside one another.

One of the term’s highlights is the Stage 3 Bathurst camp, which is always gold. It is a wonderful opportunity for our students to build friendships, try new things, and grow in confidence. I’m sure they’ll have a nugget or two of wisdom to share on their return.

We will be marking some significant milestones in the life of a school. Once the HSC exams are finished, we will celebrate our Year 12 students at their Graduation dinner. It will be a special evening to mark the end of their time at school and to thank God for all He has done in their lives. Later in the term, our Year 6 students will also celebrate God’s faithfulness throughout their primary school journey at the Year 6 Class Party.

While we farewell our Year 12s, we will also welcome our 2027 Prep, Kindergarten and Year 7 students at special welcome mornings. It is always a joy to meet our newest families and see students and staff help them feel at home before they officially join us next year.

Later this term, Mr H and some of our students will take part in Scripture assemblies at local public schools, where they will present the meaning of Christmas to students there. What a great opportunity to share the good news of Jesus with our wider community! 

This term, we will once again host students visiting from Hamamatsu Gakuin, Japan. We look forward to showing our visitors warm hospitality and building the friendship between our two schools. 

Term 4 closes with Limelight, our end-of-year celebration, on Tuesday 8 December. Families are warmly invited to join us for a barbeque dinner before the festivities. It’s always a great evening where we keep Jesus in the Limelight in the lead up to Christmas, so mark it in your calendars now!  

And finally, our Japan Trip is almost here! After school finishes for the year, a group of twenty students from Years 8 to 12, three staff and two parents will travel to four cities. This thirteen-day trip is a very exciting opportunity. I can’t wait to share Japan with everyone coming on the trip! Please keep the group in your prayers as we continue preparing, and for safe travel and a wonderful experience for everyone.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I wish you all a blessed Term 4!
