Doing what others are doing can cost you. The Bible tells us to be careful who we copy. Proverbs 1:10 tells us not to copy anyone disobeying God’s requirements for his people. And 1 Corinthians 11:1 tells us who we should copy. Paul says, “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.” (KJV) So we should copy people who copy Jesus, and we should copy Jesus himself. And, you know, if we copy Jesus, it just might be that other people will want to copy us. Then we'd be a blessing to other people. It could also mean that we could become unpopular because by not doing what everyone else is doing they feel guilty. This is not a reason to follow the popular opinion but a call to stand out for Christ. Let us think before we copy others. Corbz

This annual testing program will occur for students in Years 3, 5, 7

approach to these tests is taken across the nation and results are
normally available for parents late in term 3. If you have any
questions about this, please don’t hesitate to ask me.

Athletics Carnival day—May 3rd
Last Thursday we had our second athletics carnival. It was a fantastic day and
the weather was perfect, which we thank God for.
We started with the sprints for all age groups and there were a couple of easy
races but there were some close races also keeping the judges on their toes.
We then moved into the rotation of events with students enjoying being
together and giving each activity their best regardless of their level of skill
which is always great to see.
Triple jump again proved a challenge for the young and the old.
Watching the students that performed it correctly was just wonderful to see
and provided some healthy competition in the event.
House Points were on offer throughout the day for Joshua and Caleb and at
the end of competition the scores were very close. Joshua came out with the
win by only 150 points. Joshua scored 3700 pts and Caleb scored 3550 pts.
Thank you to all the staff that helped out and big thankyou to the parents that
came to support their children—it was wonderful to see.
Mr. Bassett.

Old School Furniture for Sale
The following items are only in fair condition and are unlikely to be used in the future of the school. We are therefore keen to clear
them out of storage in a farm shed and sell them at any reasonable offer. You can express your interest by advising Mrs Joan Caldwell
at the school office what items you are interested in and what price you are willing to pay, but this should be done by May 21st. We
will then be in contact with you to answer any questions and hopefully arrange payment and pick up. Many thanks, Peter Nelson
