T2, Week 3
Term 2 is a busy term for Secondary students with lots of exciting opportunities and events.
Chapel
This week in Chapel we had the blessing of having Mr Matthews bring our Chapel message where he challenged us with the story of the prodigal son. We were asked to wrestle with the big question of - if someone wronged us, would we openly forgive and welcome them home?
Bible Study and other Weekly Activities
Secondary students are invited to come along to Bible Study on Fridays during lunchtime. It is a time to spend time together reading the Word of God, reflecting upon how God desires the best for us, and continuing learning of the hope we have in Him.
There are many groups running each week for our Secondary learners to be involved in. See Canvas for the details of each group.
CareGroup Teachers
Families are reminded that the best person to contact for any questions in Secondary is your child’s CareGroup teacher. Families are welcome to call or email medowie@acc.edu.au.
Assessment/Homework Help
Assessment Help is up and running again for all Secondary learners. Come along and get some help with tasks on Mondays and Thursdays during lunchtimes in M25.
Excursions and Events from this week
Year 7 and Year 12 History students had the most fabulous time on the Ramses Excursion.
Year 7 to Year 10 students had an experience from Bell Shakespeare’s touring ensemble of professional artists who brought Shakespeare to life for us.
