This Week’s Devotion

The Road to Life?.... Happiness?

Thomas said “Lord we do not know where you are going? How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me” John14: 5 – 6

As I was driving the other day, I looked out at the road I was travelling on, and knew to get to my destination, I needed to keep my eyes focused on the road ahead.

Some people may say that there is no ‘road of life’ or no road with a destination leading to happiness. The Christian faith sees this differently. The Christian faith has a road, a pathway to happiness. This is the road that leads only to Jesus. He shows us the way, he reveals to us the truth and he gives us life. If you follow Jesus instructions, if you listen to his voice, he guarantees that you will be on the road to happiness.

This path is open to all. It needs neither wealth, rank nor learning in order to travel it. It is for the servant as well as for the master. It is for the poor as well as for the rich. All are included.

‘There's a road that we all travel and it's called the road of life We spend our years working out what's wrong among what's right Sometimes we get lost and we lose our way But you don't give up the searching and you don't give up the fight Searching and finding a Saviour, on that crazy road of life’

Home-made costumes where the student has participated in their creation are encouraged. Students should carry a copy of the book or its front cover so we can celebrate who they are.

Thursday 22nd August - Families are warmly invited to join us for a picnic reading lunch on Thursday at 12.00. Please bring your favourite book to share, a picnic blanket and some lunch and enjoy a special time with the children celebrating a love for sharing stories.

Last week the Year 3s went camping at Ross River Homestead. Students travelled on the bus to Trephina Gorge to

take a walk up the hill following a safety address from the ranger. Students took up the challenge of walking up the

steep hill to enjoy the breathtaking views from the top. Later they travelled to Ross River Homestead and set up

camp out in the open. Students participated in a range of team building exercises while enjoying the surrounding

views. They slept under the stars, enjoyed roasting marshmallows, participated in the damper making process and

viewed the night sky through a telescope provided by one of our parents. Parent helpers did an amazing job in

supervising and managing their activities as well as preparing all the meals. Students’ spirits were not dampened by

the freezing cold morning and they all enjoyed themselves!

“Learning about self defence

was amazing. My Dad was

my partner.” Lily Marchant

Mr Kennedy and roasting

morning because it was so

cold.” Charlotte Young (3D)

“My friends and I played a

lot of games and it was

incredibly fun.” Bridie

Hayward (3W)

under the stars.” Max

and its craters and I saw Saturn’s

rings.” Robert Menge (3W)
