Lord, I thank you that you are the God of the
impossible.

You can do anything.

You are mighty,
powerful, righteous and true.

I have nothing to
fear with you on my side.

I will be strong and
courageous even in hard times.

AMEN

Congratulations to Bella T Rm 8, who participated in the "Oceans 19 " competition.

"There were about 850 competitors aged from 10-13 years old. The diamond event is a swim, board and run which takes about 10 minutes. It was very challenging and very tiring. I was up against big waves which kept pushing me back. I really enjoyed the "Board Race" because I was able to catch the big waves and I didn't have to paddle so far. The weather was warm, Friday was wet and windy and I had great support from my family and local clubs. I am looking forward to participating in this competition in 2020."

Bella T, Room 8

Danielle (Rm 5) has lost her named PE shirt.  Please check your child's PE shirt and if found, return to Danielle in Room 5.  Thank you.
