Mr Dino Arraiol - Head of School Community & Wellbeing - Middle & Senior School

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This term, our pastoral focus has been on empathy and what it looks like in the way we treat others. As a Christian community, we want our students to grow in their ability to notice when someone is in need, to consider the experiences of others and to respond with genuine care. Often, empathy is seen most clearly through simple acts of kindness, choosing to help, encourage, include or serve someone in a way that meets a real need.

Next week, our Year 9 students will have an opportunity to put this into practice as they travel to Chinchilla and Tara for their annual Service Trip. Throughout the week, students will serve alongside a number of local organisations and community groups, including a working cattle farm, Farm Angels, Tara Shire State School, Tara Showgrounds and Western Downs Regional Council.

The Service Trip is an important opportunity for students to look beyond their own experiences and see firsthand how their time, effort and willingness to serve can make a difference to others. We have been encouraging students to see that kindness and empathy should not be limited to a particular week or activity, but should shape the way we live each day as followers of Christ, both within our College and in the communities around us.

Last Day of Term

The final day of term will include EXO Day, Cultural Day presentations, and our Active Afternoon, including the annual Middle and Senior School Colour Run. Students will receive further information about the day during next week's assembly.

During Exo Day, students will have the opportunity to purchase ice creams from an external vendor. Purchases can be made using cash or a bank card. Please note that mobile phones will not be permitted for payments, as student movement to and from lockers cannot be facilitated during the day.

Students may wear free dress on the last day of term, provided they have made a gold coin donation or donated a jumper or pair of shoes during the term. All clothing must comply with the College's Free Dress Guidelines and be practical to allow students to participate in all activities.

What students will need for the last day of the term:

• Money for the ice cream truck (cash preferred, although bank cards are accepted)
• At least two sets of clothing and suitable footwear for the day's activities
• EXO Day: Clothing suitable for water activities and a change of clothes
