From the Principal
Year 3 and 4 camp
I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121. This text was emblazoned across the top of the stage area at Tandara Lutheran Camp, the venue for the recent Year 3 and 4 camp. It is such a beautiful and apt message, especially due to the location of the campsite in the picturesque Grampians. It is not hard to be reminded that God is indeed the creator and sustainer of the heavens and the earth in such a magnificent setting. He was ever present during the camp giving strength and comfort to the students as they undertook new experiences in unfamiliar territory. We can give thanks that the students had a wonderful learning experience, were kept safe and were able to build stronger relationships with other students and the teachers. Many thanks must go to Miss Bourtzis, Miss Mead and Mrs. Truong for the care they showed to the students throughout the camp.
End of Year/Graduation 2021
This year’s special graduation celebrations will be held on Thursday 9 December. Once again, due to COVID restrictions, we have decided to have alternate arrangements for these celebrations. At 1pm, the Year 5/6 students will participate in a special lunch supplied by the school in the school hall. Following lunch, at 1.30pm, a modified Graduation Ceremony will be conducted. This event will be live streamed into the classrooms and to families who would like to be a part of the celebrations. Unfortunately, due to restrictions, no parents will be allowed on site. During the ceremony there will be a number of special presentations and speeches.
The last day of the 2021 school year is Friday 10 December. During this day the students will have the opportunity to receive their reports and say goodbye to their teachers and friends before finishing the day at 12.15pm.
More details of these events will be distributed to relevant parties in the coming weeks.
