A Prayer for Nepal ❤️💙 Loving God, Be close to all those caught in the devastation of the floods in Nepal and Tibet. Comfort those who have lost loved ones, strengthen those waiting anxiously for news, and guide rescuers and emergency workers as they search for survivors. Give courage to displaced families and compassion to communities offering shelter, food and care. May those who are missing be found, and may those who mourn know they are not alone. God of mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

Our schools are cracking the reading code

Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading

Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

Schoolhouse Museum Fun! Last week, our Year 1 students went on an exciting excursion to the NSW Schoolhouse Museum. This excursion was a great opportunity for our students to experience what school was like in the past, which aligns with the learning they are doing this term in History. They sat in an old classroom and completed some school work, danced around the maypole and wore old fashioned clothing, allowing them to see the way that schooling has changed over the years. They had a lot of fun!
