Another Year Ends We all comment on how fast each year goes by as our lives seem to become busier. The Christmas break gives us the time to slow down and reflect on the year that has been and the one on which we are about to embark. Each year the School’s final formal activity is the End of Year Worship and is held on the last day of school. By this time all of Senior School Students have departed, so this service gives our Primary and Middle School students and staff a chance to reflect on all the gifts from God we have received as we prepare for the holidays ahead. This End of Year Service is made a little more special as it also provides the School community a chance to gather together before God as a group for a final time as not all of us will return in the New Year. Some students and staff will be moving to new schools and new phases of their lives, so this time of worship gives us a chance to give thanks for the time we have spent together. Year 3 Gets Acquainted with the Story of Noah End-of-year concerts most often take a very ‘Christmasy’ approach. Not so for our Year 3 students. A nativity play gave way for another well-known bible story, that of Noah and the Ark. However, our quirky Year 3 teachers did pick a more humorous approach to this story that kept the audience entertained. Year 3 obviously enjoyed preparing and performing the story through this less than traditional approach. Noah was kept guessing by God as the problems he faced unfolded. Fortunately, the animals behaved themselves, and all ended well for Noah and his family, along with humanity and the animal kingdom.
