Welcome back to Term 3. I hope you have had a wonderful school holidays.
This week our staff have engaged in professional learning and planning, had devotions with Tim MacBride – Principal at Morling Theological College, enjoyed breakfast and prayer with local church ministers, and heard from Stephen McAlpine on culture and the Gospel.
Our Staff Weeks (one at the start of the year, and this week in the middle of the year) are about investing in our staff so they can invest in every student, equipping them for learning, service and purpose, to the glory of God.
I hope and pray that this term is another fruitful one for our students.
Please read the important Term 3 reminders below.

Prep – Year 2 Pick Up
Prep – Year 2 Pick Up

Building works are almost underway for our new oval and car park with fences now surrounding the building site. The end-of-school-day pick up area for Prep to Year 2 students has been relocated to the side oval, located on the eastern side of the IRC. Students will continue to line up in year level groups, with our Prep students closest to the IRC and Year 2 students further along. Teachers will continue to ask students to remain seated while they wait for you to arrive. We’ll direct parents with signage this week.
If older siblings are collecting your children, please ensure they are also made aware of this new arrangement. Teachers will also be on hand to support students catching the bus who may need additional assistance during this transition.
With the goal of keeping children safe, we kindly ask for your support in collecting your children promptly and then heading home, rather than remaining on site. Students should not stay to play in the nearby sandpit or bush areas after school hours. We will reinforce this message with the students and greatly appreciate your support in helping us manage this new routine. During this period while building is taking place, we encourage parents to find other places or ways of catching up to maintain community connections.
Subway available to order on Mondays and Fridays from Term 3
Subway available to order on Mondays and Fridays from Term 3

The Subway School Fuel lunch menu is now available to order via the My School Connect website or app, following Yum in a Box’s decision to cease operations.
Available on both Mondays and Fridays during term time, a select range of healthy lunch options from Subway is on offer, delivered to the school in time for Break 2.
Families can set up an account online or via the app using the instructions provided. Please set up a profile for each child to help us distribute the food.
Orders can be placed up until 8am on the day of delivery, an added convenience for families, now able to decide at the last minute to order lunch for their children. This time will be reviewed and adjusted if demand requires, and parents will be notified in advance by email.
While limited snacks are available on the School Fuel menu, parents should be aware that with delivery later in the day to keep the food fresh, snacks should still be provided for Break 1.
Junior School students will have their orders brought to their classroom. Secondary School students can collect their order during Break 2 (12:27pm) in the Year 12 area outside Student Services. Secondary students are responsible for collecting their orders from this location.
The partnership with Subway, with lunch available on Mondays and Fridays, will be trialled for all of Term 3. We hope this arrangement will provide a healthy convenient option for our families.
