Peer Support
During Term 2, year 6 students
have been working with the
remainder of primary in the
Peer Support Program.
Let it Grow: Recently, as part of the integrated unit "Let it Grow", the Year 1/2 classes have been learning
about vegetables. We looked at a wide range of vegetables and thought about whether each
was the flower, stem, root or leaf.
Some were tricky because they were made from more than one part of the plant. Did you
know lots of plants we call vegetables are actually fruit because they contain seeds? We
marveled at the way God made the veggies, and talked about
the way He provides food for us through different plants.
Children then designed and made "veggie faces" that would encourage children to eat more
vegetables. Their efforts were imagina-ve and crea-ve, and they gave each other
affirma-ons as they viewed the 'gallery' of veggie plates. The children had great ideas about
what they would do differently next -me, including making different shaped crea-ons, or
making a "fruit faces". Why not try making a "veggie face" at home? Mrs Dee Lile
Year 9 Students:
Year 9 students have par-cipated in some prepara-on ac-vi-es before heading off on the Larapinta
Trip. Students have prac-ced se2ng up tents, bandaging, cooking on gas burners and walking a long
distance from Buffalo Creek to Nightcliff Pool. Please pray for our students, staff and parents who are
a5ending the trip from 9 June to 21st June—Mrs Emily Shea

Sean W Smith On Friday, primary school students had

It was great to see how everyone was up
on their feet, singing and dancing with
Sean. Sean also ministered to the
children using great biblical principles of how to be faithful to God.
Parents, please don't forget to

has given access to, so your

listening to his songs.
Thank you Sean!

PARRS Soccer Gala: 21 Year 5 and Year 6 students competed at Gray oval in the PARRS
soccer gala day. I was so proud to see these students play as a team,
encouraging each other, and play compe**ve fair soccer. These
students showed great sportsmanship and also great drive to do their
very best. Both teams finished the day with 2 wins and 1 loss each. I
was very blessed to again have Marcus Forsyth on board to help me
coach and was very grateful for the assistance of my 'soccer mums'
Dewi Lawton and Donne�e Spencer. What a fantas*c day!
