Mr Peter McLellan | Head of Secondary

This certainly has been an unusual first term at Green Point Christian College. Now as we enter into our term break, I wish all of you, parents, students and staff a very healthy, restful and peaceful holiday. I pray that it will be a time of refreshment for you all. I am so proud of all the members of our community and how each of you have met this challenge and the difficulties it has brought.I want to remind you that this is a really special time of the year when we remember the amazing love and sacrifice that Jesus Christ went through for each of us at Calvary.  Easter is about the greatest act in history that enables us to have relationship with our Creator.  It reminds me that every day, no matter what I face, I am loved and cared for by God.  It is through Him I can face each day.

Happy Easter everyone … God’s blessings these holidays.

From the English Co-ordinator ...

Have you ever wondered if English really matters in real life? God has given us language and the ability to communicate. This capacity is one important way that we can process change and uncertainty. It even equips us to support, encourage and uplift others.

  1. Keep a journal, diary or scrapbook: Our current experience is likely to be a key historical event in your student’s life. Help your student to process this by keeping a written/drawn record of their feelings, experiences, challenges and joys each day. Younger children might draw pictures or stick in notes, flowers or other keepsakes.

  2. Writing competitions: There are a number of writing competitions that students can enter independently. If your child enjoys writing (poetry, scripts, short stories), have them check out this poster of competitions and encourage them to share their writing with others.

  3. Words are powerful: There are so many ways that we can use language to encourage, inspire, comfort and uplift ourselves and each other. You could write encouraging words or Bible verses on your driveway in chalk; post inspiring words to social media accounts; write letters or FaceTime with family who are far away; keep a family “Thankfulness” jar and write a note each day; and there are many other ideas.

We miss our students. We would love to hear how your family are using these God-given gifts to impact your family, your home and your community in positive ways.

TECHNOLOGY TEXTILE KITS

The TAS Department were kept busy last week putting together 100 resource kits for a Years 7 and 8 Technology Unit on Weaving.
