CRU Term 2
This term we have been reading Psalms to ‘Taste & See’ that God is good. So far, we have discovered that God’s way of living truly is the best life, that God is good all the time, even when we can’t feel it, that He is forgiving when we say sorry, and this week … God is good in creating the world and keeping it going!
Students have enjoyed various challenges, (especially the yummy ones) playing games, reading the Bible, praying and singing.
CRU meets every Thursday lunchtime at 1pm. Students from Yrs 1-6 are invited to come along each week.
MIDI Cru
In CRU this week we learnt about God as the master of the universe.
Midi CRU members spent time outside making creation wristbands because we often miss out on noticing how good God is because we do not look closely at the wonderful things He has made.
We looked at Psalm 148 where the author is amazed not just because of the detail of God's creation but also because of its size. In stages the Psalmist tells us about each of the different parts of God's creation: heavens (verses 1-6), sea (verse 7), sky (verse 8), land (verses 9-10) and people (verses 11-12). Students also tried the ‘Fruit Tingle’ and ‘Knotting the Snake’ challenge. Students from Years 1-6 are welcome to come to CRU each Thursday so they can “Taste and see that the Lord is good”.
Lost Property Box
The Primary lost property box is full. There are many hats, jackets and lunchboxes in there. This will be emptied at the end of the term so please come and collect any items that you are missing. Remember to please label everything.

Junior Band
Junior Band gave their first fabulous performance this year in Week 3. It was a little windy but the students didn’t lose their groove! We performed a couple of Australian compositions, the luscious Sunset Serenade, and a zippy little jazz number called Emu Strut. Well done to our Junior Band musicians and thanks to parents and staff for the support.
We have two more exciting events approaching this term, in Weeks 8 and 9 our students will perform solos at their Tutor Night, and on Wednesday 26 June all our bands will perform at their respective Chapel services. (This includes Welcome Band, Junior Band and Senior Band).
