Public Speaking Gala Finals Evening Report
What an absolute privilege it was to be a member of a most appreciative audience at the annual Years 3-6 Public Speaking Finals Evening held at the School on Monday 1st November.
A wide variety of topics proved to be both highly entertaining and educational, with topics as diverse as Cudgewa and Switzerland.
Every Move We Make
In a recent Sydney Morning Herald article (July 22nd 2009) journalist Adele Horn discussed the importance of positive parent behaviour at the sporting field. In her article she outlined research which links outbursts of parent anger to the anger expressed in road rage. An interesting connection!
Chaplain's Chat - Tricking Jesus
One of the most famous passages in the Bible is where Jesus draws the ten commandments together into two simpler commandments. Simpler is often what we are all looking for.

Examinations will be commencing in the secondary school over the coming weeks. These will involve interruptions to normal routines and in Week 5 the Cultural Centre will be out-of-bounds during examination periods.
Public Speaking Finals Reminder
The annual Years 3-6 Public Speaking Finals evening is the culmination of an extensive program conducted in each respective class.
