Welcome to our newsletter for Week 3 of Term 2 and also welcome back to our Year 6 students and staff who returned from camp on Friday. It was wonderful to hear about the broad range of fun and challenging learning experiences that took place. This week we held our school photographs which capture a moment in time for our children. I know that as a parent I look back on my own children’s schooling and see the growth that took place for them. What a privilege we have to equip the next generation for service in our world.

Next week our Year 5 and Year 6 students have their swimming lessons each day. Later in the term, our Year 1 and Year 2 students have theirs so please make sure that you return the appropriate forms and if you have further questions, speak to your class teacher.

On Friday 7th June we have a pupil free day. This is to enable our staff to continue in their professional learning. The Friday leads up to the King’s birthday public holiday on Monday 10th June. This is a wonderful opportunity to set aside some time to rest and spend some time together as a family. OSHC is available on Friday 7th June if your child requires care on that day.

This term we have National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week celebrations. We believe that God’s intention for our school is to be a place where all humans flourish in connection with one another and with God. Jesus is our greatest role model showing us how to love, lead and serve people.

A big congratulations to Emily Bondarenko, our ELC Director, on the birth of her second daughter Ella Grace who was born earlier this month. 

We have mentioned the mychristianschools.au website to you and are excited to announce that South Australia will be hosting a “Faith in our Future” event. This event is to show that we really value our Christian community and the important and unique ways we express our faith to decision makers in government. The event is open to all who want to support Christian schooling and will be a time where people share stories of the impact of Christian schools. It will be held on Wednesday 12th June 7pm at Tyndale Christian School, Salisbury East campus. We will give you more information and I encourage you to be a part of this evening if you can.

I would like to thank you for your ongoing support as we learn together to excel in Christian education and character, inspiring greatness, while serving communities and impacting nations.

God bless,

Wendy Matear
Principal 

Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
