Prayer for the Week
The Stone is Rolled Away – Christ is Risen
Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb, so they went in; but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. They stood there puzzled about this, when suddenly two men in bright shining clothes stood by them. Full of fear, the women bowed down to the ground, as the men said to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for one who is alive? He is not here; he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, be crucified, and three days later rise to life.’”
(Luke 24:1-12)
Lord God,
You loved this world so much,
That you gave your one and only Son,
That we might be called your children too.
Lord, help us to live in the gladness and grace
Of Easter Sunday, everyday.
Let us have hearts of thankfulness
For your sacrifice.
Let us have eyes that look upon
Your grace and rejoice in our salvation.
Help us to walk in that mighty grace
And tell your good news to the world.
All for your glory do we pray, Lord,
Amen.

End of Term
It really is hard to believe that we have come to the end of the first term. The boys will finish school on Friday 13 April at the normal time of 3.00pm.
Term 2 will start for the Junior School on Wednesday 2 May (after the parent/student/teacher interviews). Boys will need to ensure they have their proper winter sports uniform for the first day back in term 2.
Term 2
As you may be aware I will be taking leave in term 2. Due to my absence a number of changes will take place.
- Mr Greg Harris will be Acting Director
- Mr Matthew Ryan will be Acting Assistant Director
- Mr Tony Proudfoot will be looking after 6 Green
- Mr Jack McCarthy will be looking after 5 Blue (Mr Stephen Ghattas will be on Paternity Leave and Long Service Leave for 5 Weeks).
We are very fortunate to secure the services of these fine teachers and I feel confident that the school is in very good hands whilst I’m away.
