NSW Constitutional Convention

I am pleased to advise that Bradley Marzol of Year 11 has been selected to participate in the New South Wales Schools Constitutional Convention at Parliament House, Macquarie St, Sydney, on Tuesday October 30. After submitting an excellent application for the role, Bradley will meet with more than 100 other students from all over the State to discuss a topic related to the Australian Constitution, such as the separation of powers, recognition of First Peoples or issues around Federation. The students at the NSW Convention will then select 30 of their number to attend a three-day National Constitutional Convention to be held in Canberra in March 2019.  Best wishes to Bradley for a great experience.

Please keep in your thoughts and prayers some members and families of our community who are facing major health issues right now:

Hugo Kulcsar of Year 6 is battling leukemia at present and staying very positive. Through a robot, Hugo is interacting with his classmates and his teacher Ms Jennifer Hoare. We wish Hugo a speedy recovery.

William Pearce of Year 6 underwent heart transplant surgery in Melbourne five weeks ago. He progressing well and will remain in Melbourne for the next seven weeks. We wish Will all the best during these critical weeks.

Charlie Grant of Year 5 was involved in a traffic incident last Friday where he was hit by a van. No broken bones, internal damage or head injury, but Charlie is quite sore from the ordeal. We wish him a quick return to school.

Mr Greg Harris is currently undergoing stem cell treatment for a rare blood cancer. We wish him all the best at this difficult time.

Father’s Day

Finally, I would like to wish all our dads, step-dads, grandfathers and father figures whose love is so important to the happiness of each of our boys, a Happy Father’s Day for Sunday. Please spare a thought and prayer for those who have lost a dad or a father figure.
