This coming week we will be enjoying the IPSHA Travelling Art Show, a collection of children’s art works from many other Independent schools in NSW. Inspiring, creative and high quality, with some of our students also represented. So I say, keep the art flowing!

Easter is an event we hold as significant in our school. It points to a real moment in history where God acted for everyone – every age, in every time, in every culture. It’s easy to miss in the flashy show of chocolate, bunnies (or bilbies) and holidays. But take a good look and even a sceptic can appreciate what real love for our world looks like.

Next week our Year 5 students will have the opportunity to write a nomination for the Junior School leadership team in 2021. I am always impressed by the calibre of submission and the willingness of our students to have a go, stand for something they believe in and serve their school.
