From the Leader of Learning

Newman Symposium and FORM Showcase

Congratulations to all our students that displayed their ‘Gift for Life’ at the Newman Symposium and Form Showcase in Week 9. It was amazing to see so many students share their talents.

Stage 4 & 5 Awards Ceremony

Congratulations to our students who were acknowledged at our Stage 4 and 5 Awards Assemblies at the beginning of this week. I especially thank the Year 8 Rock Band (Isabella Van Der Weide, Sofia Vella, Sofia Valentini, Etta Vowles and Alissa Tosh) for their Edge of Midnight Sky performance by Miley Cyrus. Also, to Sarah Khoury and Megan Lam for their performance of Free (written and composed by Sarah) at the Stage 5 Awards ceremony.

Please enjoy the following gallery of the Awards:

 

In my last lesson with my Year 8 Religious Education class, we explored some colouring in the nativity images, questioned them, and examined them in light of the Nativity stories in the Gospels. It was interesting to find a much deeper story in the Gospel accounts. This video gives you an insight into the lesson.

 

I wish all families a very happy, safe and blessed Christmas.
