Godly in Character

One of the five attributes of our Graduate Profile is that students seek to be Godly in Character. What is your character and what does it mean to be Godly in character?

Philippians 2:3-8 urges us to have the same character as Jesus …

Doing nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others …

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very natureof a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross!

Our character is who we are when no-one is looking. We need to guard to ensure that we do not allow our character to be shaped by what and who is around us, but rather by how God sees us.

Minibeasts and Microscopes – Year 1 Goes to Secondary School

Year 1 visited the Secondary School Science Labs to observe minibeasts under microscopes. A group of Year 9 students buddied up with Year 1 to assist them in using the microscopes. Mr Yule used his microscope with a camera to observe the earthworms and snails we had collected. Some of the Year 1 students described it as the best day ever.

Year 5 Science Models 

Over the past five weeks Year 5 have been researching and creating diagrams of our solar system. Several students have given talks about the planets and stars in our solar system.

Mobile Phones

It is a reality in this day and age that many students have a mobile phone for safety, communication and convenience. Whilst students are at school there is no need for them to use their phones and all phones MUST remain in students’ bags for the entire day.

If there is a situation where you need to contact your child, please do so through the office. Students using their phones during the day will have them removed and parents will be contacted.

Smart watches can be worn to school as a method of time telling, however whilst they are on site Primary students are to disable messaging and phone services including access to social media sites, so as not to be a distraction to learning.
