Congratulations KC!

Congratulations Sophia, Nash, Ainlinn and Karli on your awards!

Thank you Service

Yesterday afternoon we had the opportunity to come together to formally thank Mr Gray for his 10 Years of faithful and loyal service. 

Mr Gray is a servant-hearted man who has shown vision and passion for Christian education. He has lead our College with integrity to become the innovative, beautiful and nurturing place that it is today. 

 

We had some wonderful displays of talent. 

And some moving speeches. 

Ending with the cutting and sharing of a cake. 

I am so thankful for the opportunity to have worked with such a good man who taught us to set our goals high and work towards them. 

I will miss having Nathan Gray as principal of MACC, but I know that God has this place firmly in His hands and I am looking forward to what the future brings. I wish him God's blessings and grace as he starts the next chapter of his own journey. 

Living Things: Plants

What do plants need to survive and grow?

Today we started an investigation into that very question. 

We are planning on using the new planter boxes which were built by our maintenance team just outside our windows. 

We bought some seeds and gathered some soil.

We decided it would be best to start our garden in egg cartons. That way we can move them indoors to protect them from the birds, rabbits and other wildlife that visit. 

Today we planted beans, poppies and sunflowers. Soon, we will plant some marigolds, silverbeet and parsley as well. 

Over the next few days we will investigate what our seeds need to germinate and how we need to care for them once they start to grow. 

We're very excited about our latest project and look forward to having our very own garden. 

Book Week

We have been super excited about Book Week! We read quite a few of the award winning books and talked about what made them "good" books. I particularly enjoyed a book called 'Mr Huff' by Anna Walker. In this book the author very cleverly portrays emotions and how to overcome negative feelings. 

Well, Book Week culminated in today, our Book Fair and Parade. The children were super excited to be wearing their costumes all day and when the final touches were added, they all looked amazing!

A visit from Clifford added to our excitement!

Then it was finally our turn to parade. For some children it felt like an eternity. 

Congratulations on a super effort KC!
