Principal's Log

Senior student, Dylan Creedon and our Junior Drama students performed very well at the Sunshine Coast Drama Festival Highlights Evening on Saturday night. Dylan Creedon’s solo entry received a gold award and our junior entry of ‘Growing Up’ also received a gold award as well as the Aspiring Actors trophy, which was one of the two major awards for the evening. This is an outstanding achievement and we congratulate all students involved. We thank Mrs Janine Delaney and Mrs Laura Bonner for their leadership and direction. 

On Sunday morning we enjoyed being part of the ‘Hymns We Love’ service at St Mark’s Lutheran Church where our Senior Voices group led the service. Thank you to our parents for their support and to Mr Adrian King, Pastor Tim Jarick, staff and students for the talented way they contributed to this celebration of music in worship.

On Monday we farewelled our visitors from Seishin Gakuen after a week of great learning, varied activities and new friendships being formed. We are looking forward to playing host to our first two long-term exchange students from Seishin Gakuen. Reina and Satomi will be remaining with us for the rest of Term 3. We also congratulate Year 10 students Mali Davis and Lauren Petersen, who have been selected to go to Seishin Gakuen in Term 4 this year. We thank all of our host families and students who provided great hospitality to the Seishin students and staff over the course of last week. Thank you to Mrs Michi Hauser and her team for the leadership of the exchange experience.

Thank you to all families, students and staff who have responded well to volunteer at OCEANfest. There is still opportunity for people to assist and we encourage those across Years 6-12 who have not yet registered to volunteer to sign up at: http://signup.com/go/wCi13g. We look forward to a great evening of fun and community and encourage everyone to support our organising committee, led by Mrs Mel Pollock and Mrs Jenny Lee, as they are able.

We pray for wisdom and generous hearts to make the most of our gifts for the betterment of others.
