From the Principal

Hi everyone, I hope that you have all had a wonderful week. The weather has kept us cool and fresh in the mornings this this week but it’s looking as though for our swimming carnival in 3 weeks’ time we will have higher temps which will be perfect. Don’t forget that you are all invited along to our Swimming Carnival on Wednesday the 4th March. Please encourage any relatives or family friends to come along and support our students.

Our P&F welcome BBQ is on Friday the 14th February from 5:30pm at the ‘Pines’ down on the bank of our beautiful Wimmera River. All food will be provided free of charge, BYO chairs and drinks. Thank you again to the P&F members that are organising the food for this get together.

This Thursday the 6th February we had our parent information night. Thanks to all those parents and care givers that were able to attend. This evening was for parents to meet staff and also to find out about class procedures, excursions and class routines. It is always an excellent opportunity for you to ask your child’s teacher any questions you may have and to also meet other parents. If you were unable to attend this evening all relevant notes will be sent home with your children.

Next week our Swimming program begins. Tuesday the 11th Feb is our first day at the pool. All of

the boys and girls are very excited and really look forward to these lessons. You will have received information about items required, which days of the week and the process for the end of day pick up. Bus students are picked up from the pool by their bus and parents that pick up students are also asked to collect their children from the pool each afternoon. Please come and see your child’s teacher for any further information that you may require.

A reminder that the start of each year there are always several notes that you are required to fill out and return for our records. If you are unsure of what to fill in on these notes or have questions about their content please come into the office between 8:30-2:30 and Mrs Walters will be able to assist you.

Have a safe and Blessed Weekend,

Yours in Christ,

Tim Reimann

The power of one

The Lord’s voice shakes the oaks

and strips the leaves from the trees

while everyone in his Temple shouts, ‘Glory to God!’

The Lord rules over the deep waters;

he rules as king for ever.

The Lord gives strength to his people

and blesses them with peace.

(verses 9-11)

Read Psalm 29

Who is the most powerful person in the world? Is it someone like the President of the United States,

who has his finger on the most deadly arsenal of weapons in the world? Is it some Olympic athlete

who has run faster or jumped higher than anyone else in the recorded history of human kind? Is it

some international media mogul who can sway world opinion by the turn of an editorial phrase?

All such power is small and finite next to the power of God. You can see God’s power reverberating

in the thunder and lightning that he created and pulsating in the cyclones and earthquakes that

wreak their forces upon the earth. Prestigious presidents, spectacular sportspeople and enterprising

editors can only stand in awe of him and echo

his praises. Not only does God’s power, unlike

theirs, last forever, but he insists on using it,

unlike them, for the sole benefit of his people,

for their continuing benefit and peace. He is

the most powerful one.

Lord, I acknowledge you power and

authority in the world and put myself in

your hands. Give me your strength and

your peace. Amen
