Our Vision: Learning and Growing in Christ
Dear Parents,
Scripture reminds us that all of us in our lives have made the wrong choices and decisions and that through this God is always ready to forgive. God calls on us to leave our wayward ways and walk along the path mapped out for us by our loving Father. Like the father in the Gospel, God waits and watches for our return. Like the shepherd searching for lost sheep, like the housewife searching for the lost coin, God patiently waits for us to come to our senses and return home. The Scripture challenges us to seek and find that which gives us time and lasting peace. We are called to remember God’s faithfulness and compassion towards us and to put it into practice in our own lives. It is then that we will find true peace and know we rest in Him. The journey isn’t easy but what awaits us at the end makes it all worthwhile.
Congratulations to Tiare Ryan (R11) who received the Catholic Character Award for this week.

The woman had a terrible headache
An old lady sat alone in the cold on the side of the street at night. Her wrinkly smile started to fade as the wind blew upon her cheek. Her fingers clutched against her face as she ached in pain. The sound of screeching rubber tyres of cars passing by her caused a terrible, terrifying headache which petrified her in agony.

The woman had a terrible headache…
The partially blind old woman was in the middle of a meeting with the president of the United States. She clutched her head as a ferocious pain from the sound of a high pitched screech from the bell sounded. Her head ache was unimaginable.

The girl who witnessed an accident
As the beautiful young woman was skipping across the busy intersection a speeding fancy modern car going as fast as lighting, swerved around her and caused a terrifying, terrible, tremendous car crash. Booom! Crraash! skreetch! She was shocked like a stunned mullet. Sarah had just witnessed a horrific car crash between a car and a truck. Her eyes were drawn to the accident that happened in an instant. It was like watching a movie in slow motion.

The boy pulled a large fish out of the river.
Tugging and heaving, a young university fellow was struggling to pull a slimy, slippery shiny salmon with all his might and stealthy strength out of the glimmering rough water.
