This week we are shortlisting for our 2023 School Captains, Faith and Service Captains, Arts Captains and House Captains. We look forward to introducing our new leaders at the Awards Ceremonies in week 9.
We will be sending home letters via email to the families of Award winners for 2022 on Friday. But please keep this a secret so your child gets a surprise on the day! This year the effort awards will be sent home with reports cards as done in the previous year.
Have a wonderful week and we look forward to seeing you at one of the many events coming up. Bless you,
Marcia Jealous
Acting Deputy Principal.

Deuteronomy 31:6-8
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
