The tremendous capacity of this community is brought home to me constantly. There is a strong sense of can do. As we move into the next phase of the College’s development we are wanting to capture future focused thinking from parents, students and staff. To that end we will be conducting small group focus sessions with parents from each of the four sections of the College in the final weeks of this term. An email has been sent inviting families to nominate to be part of the breakfast sessions which commence in the week beginning the 3rd September. Staff, student leaders, Friends of Pacific leaders and College Council members will be part of a strategic consultation day to be held on Saturday, 13th October which will include the feedforward provided through these breakfast sessions. Families not able to attend the breakfasts can still contribute to the thinking by completing this year’s annual online review sent out in the week of 31st July 2018. This will be open for input until Friday September 7th.
Congratulations to our runners who competed in the Sunshine Coast Marathon over the weekend. This was the final event of their running season which included the Caloundra foreshore (3km or 10km) and the Sunshine Coast Marathon (2km, 5km or 10km). Thank you to students, parents and staff who have supported this club very capably led by Mr Pohlner.
Staff and students have engaged enthusiastically in Book Week, including coming to school yesterday dressed as one of their favourite book characters. The creativity in the cakes made by parents to represent a children’s book was amazing. Engagement in Book Week is just one of the ways in which we are generating a love of reading so important for both academic and personal wellbeing. We thank Mrs Sue Warren for her leadership of a love of literature through this event and a variety of other activities that have stimulated a strong sense of the magic of books.
We thank God for the people of this community.
