To the Community of Holy Trinity,

Each year on September 1, you can guarantee your social media feeds will simultaneously erupt with the news that spring has arrived.

Daffodils. Pictures of the sun glittering off a body of water. Fluffy white clouds against a super blue sky, and Sydney-siders will no doubt whack the Harbour Bridge in somewhere. 

Which is all very well and good. Spring is awesome. Spring means warmth. Spring-a-ding-ding.

Dear Creator God, 

We thank you for spring days.

We ask you to bless these flowers that may have come from our mother earth.

May they remind us of the new life you give through your Son, Jesus.

May we always remember to love and care for all your creation.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. 
Amen.

With Springtime comes a renewed sense of focus, a renewed joy, and the promise of sunshine and laughter. Everyone seems to smile a bit more, and steps are lighter as we round out the next few months together. There are still many significant events happening in our coummunity. Next week we look forward to seeing grandparents and parents at our school for Learning Journeys, the Grandparents Day Prayer Assembly, visits to classrooms and morning tea, and of course our Bi-Annaul Book Fair.  The P&F are also holding a 'spring' working bee on Friday 13th September from 3.30-6pm. Remember many hands make light work. 

LEARNING JOURNEYS

A staple of our PYP school is the Term 3 Learning Journeys. Although there are many different approaches to planning for learning journeys, generally all iterations have elements of student voice, choice and owership. This wonderful community event allows our students to hold control over the showcasing of their learning. The students will communicate to you, their parents, what they want from you during their time together. 

We welcome a new member to our family in the ELC and wish the Sherlock family congratulations on the safe arrival of baby George and Ted on becoming a big brother.

We also ask every one to please keep the Spry family (ELC) in your prayers as Vincent's dad recovers from serious surgery.

With every best wish for a warm and peace-filled week ahead. 

Katie
