This week in the new chapel area (watch this space for new name and logo - coming soon!) a range of resource books for parents is being added to the new bookshelves. These books are recommended reads from the Chaplains personal library and are available to be borrowed and read. The books cover subjects relevant to parents and provide a wide range of information and support. Please feel free to call in and pick-up and booklist, browse the shelves, have a coffee and borrow what you need. (Details of how to borrow will be displayed clearly for you).
A copy of the book list will be added to the blog in the coming days on the new Resources page.

New Beginnings In the Chapel
New beginnings was our theme for the first two weeks of school chapel services. In that time, that is exactly what has occurred in the chapel itself. It has had a new beginning.
A new sound system, a change in the lay out of the chapel itself and the unveiling of a very new look to the old stage are. This space is now a special 'retreat' for students and staff alike, offering quite music, comfortable (red) chairs, coffee tables and mood lighting.
It is hoped to add to this space with plants, board games, jigsaw puzzles and books (donations gratefully received) over the next few weeks to further add to the options available to all students who are looking for alternative things to do at break time.
We are looking for a name for the new stage space and have invited students to make suggestions for which the winning suggestion will win its creator a serious prize.
If you are in the school, make time to pop in. It's worth a look.

Welcome to 2011
Well, here we are, back at the beginning of another school year! I hope all had a great break and are ready for whatever this year surprises us with.
I am mindful that we are all aware of the tragedy which has affected much of our country - the floods across Queensland, NSW and Victoria, and the bush fires in WA. Our country is a place of diverse experiences and is always challenging us through the extremes of its climate. Sometimes it is easy to forget the harshness inherent in the place in which we live, but nature finds ways to remind us that life here is fragile and risky.
There are some changes on this blog for 2011. Firstly it will be used to update the school community on happenings in the chapel. A new link has been included called 'What's On In The Chapel'. If you click on it you will see the latest details of events and activities being held weekly in the chapel.
Another new link is being added called "Community Corner" which has information for the wider school community, particularly parents. This will announce events and activities specifically for parents.
This blog will be updated weekly with copies of sermons, topical information and more. You are invited to comment, subscribe, suggest ideas and much more.
