On Friday they presented an excellent Worship and Praise on the topic of refugees. The theme was "Welcoming the Stranger." The students spoke and performed well. Thanks to all who were involved. This is a great Segway into....

Friday is also our Harmony day celebration and Worship will have a focus on this.  Parents are welcome to come along and join in the worship and Harmony day celebrations. May God bless all the students the best as they prepare for the service.
