As I mentioned in a previous newsletter, a warm and united community would not be possible without the active involvement of our parents/carers and the community. The College greatly appreciates the selfless work of our P&F, who are currently organising the annual Father's Day breakfast and stall. The arrangements for this great community activity are:

• Father's Day Stall (K-6): Wednesday, 3 September
• Father's Day Breakfast (PreK-Year 12): Friday, 5 September - Almost Sold Out!

Thinking about helping out? The P&F and the College would love your support at our Father’s Day events! Volunteer today.

Book Week

What a wonderful week of adventures through books! We have celebrated, reading, writing, illustrating and enjoyed many excellent books. Students had a fun time dressing up as their favourite book character, visiting the Junior School Book Shop and researching facts to fill their RHAC adventure passport.

Book Fair

We are extremely thankful to our wonderful parent volunteers who so ably assisted with the setting up, sales and packing down of the book shop. We were blessed with 35 books donated to our library collection by our college families, along with over $6,000 in book sales , the commission from these sales will allow us to purchase many new books for our Junior School students to read. The donated books are now being processed and covered, and will be available for borrowing shortly. They will go home with the students who donated them first, and then will be open for everyone to borrow. It was fabulous to see so many students and their families enjoying the experience of book shopping at school.

Last Friday, Year 6 students approached the Amazing Me Seminar on puberty with a mix of nervous giggles and curiosity. Despite some initial embarrassment about the topic, they quickly found themselves at ease thanks to the humour and relatability of the presenters, whose funny stories and light-hearted approach broke the ice. Their willingness to listen attentively, ask thoughtful (and sometimes cheeky) questions, and engage in honest discussions created a safe and supportive space for learning about physical, emotional, and social growth. This blend of maturity and humour not only made the experience enjoyable but also reflected their growing sense of responsibility and self-awareness as they navigated this key stage of adolescence.

CRU is a group for students in Years 3 to 6, where we come together to learn about God and His Word. It is led by Miss Haggar and Mrs Pullen, with support from the CRU leaders. This year, the leaders are a group of Year 6 girls: Jenna E, Zali D, Annabel F, Jade P, Mia M, Mikayla B, Olivia V, and Elsie R.

The CRU leaders and younger students from other grades meet every fortnight on Wednesday during Break 1. At CRU we sing songs, play fun games, and most importantly, discuss God and His Word together. Each time we meet, our CRU group continues to grow.

Twice a year, the CRU leaders join students from other schools at Norwest Christian College for a conference day. On that day, we get to know one another, learn about leading with God's guidance, and enjoy super fun games.

CRU is a wonderful way to connect with other students and with God. We invite all students from Years 3 to 6 to come along to CRU!

(Written by Jenna E and Zali D, Year 6 CRU Leaders)

Last Thursday, a group of eight Year 6 students made their way to Macarthur Anglican College to partake in the GATEway8 challenge day.

The group divided and conquered six tasks in the disciplines of English, Maths, History, Science, Music and Visual Arts. These tasks were designed to stretch their knowledge, skills and application outside of their regular classroom experiences.

The 2025 theme was “AI- Risks and Benefits” and the challenges proved to be very relevant to our world right now. This group did an amazing job as a team, sharing skills and knowledge with respect and patience and placed 5th in every topic .

Well done to Colin Y,  Anika K, Hritvik L, Methuki W, Elizabeth H, Vivaan S, Jack P and Aarin K.

• “It was a fun and challenging experience, I am glad I got to participate." (Anika K)
• “I found creating a game board to be a surprisingly challenging task to implement my creative skills. I was expecting to create an artwork." (Colin Y)
