Running the race set before us
Running the race – what is that race? We talked
about this at Chapel last week on Sports Day.
Hebrews 12:1 tells “…And let us run with
perseverance the race set before us”. The race is
our life, the life that we have been given; this
wonderful gift which we can be thankful for,
enjoy, and live in all its fullness. The journey of
our life can take many different paths, some
expected and some unexpected and we need to be
able to travel that, accepting and dealing with all
that we face. In a sports race, we want to perform
our best and do what we can to complete the race
and complete it as well as we can. We wear sports
shoes, lightweight clothes and make it as easy as
we can; we don’t weigh ourselves down with
extra weight.
In life we have to carry “baggage” or “stuff” that
holds us back, hinders us from doing our best –
each person has their own baggage; it could be a
sickness we have to deal with, or a sick family
member, trying to be a supportive friend to
someone who needs help, being made to feel
worthless or inferior or a sin that we battle with.
One of the biggest traps we can fall into is
comparing ourselves to others and feeling that we
are not as “good” as them, dragging ourselves
down. God loves us, where we are, whatever our
faults and problems and when we turn to Him and
ask Him to help us deal with all the baggage, He
will; He will take that weight away and we will
feel God’s peace. In our present scripture,
Philippians 4:4-9, it tells us that the peace of God
transcends all understanding. God will help us and
we need to remember to turn to Him at all times,
during the good times and the not so good; He is
always with us.
May that peace that is beyond understanding be
with you today as you turn your baggage over to
the One who loves you.
Debbie Bish.
Enjoying the Autumn season!

Prayer Points
Continued thankfulness to God for the way He has met our staffing needs so far this year and now for His
wisdom as we proceed to seek someone to fill the gap as Jeff Bassett leaves at the end of this term.
For God’s wisdom for all our politicians, at all levels of Government, as they govern our nation.
Uphold those amongst our school community who are unwell.
For these weeks where a focus in our nation is on reconciliation and that we might increasingly
demonstrate God’s reconciliation in all aspects of our lives.
Thankfulness for the community of Christian schools that we are part of.
Parents and friends are welcome to a time of prayer for the school each Monday during the
school term, 9am to 9.30am, in the meeting room off the front office.
Some Special Events at RCCC this Week
The Year 9 & 10 students will participate in a resume
writing and interview technique session at school
on Tuesday morning which is being run for us by the
Echuca Moama Beacon Foundation that we are part
of. This will further prepare the young people for
Mock Interviews which will occur in a couple of weeks’
time, also at our school.
Also on Tuesday, as a gift to us from Belgrave Heights
Christian School, Steve the Robot Man is returning to
run a number of robotics workshops, this time
working along with a Belgrave Heights staff member
Allen Dickson. We are looking forward to all of our
students engaging in one or more of these sessions and
then, after school, our staff team will gather with Steve
and Allen for some professional learning.
Margaret Furlong, from Northside Christian College
in Melbourne, will again be visiting with us for a few
days. Margaret has much training and experience in the
field of Education Support and will be assisting in
identifying areas of extra need in the learning of
selected students. This will further assist in the
development of our learning plans.
On Wednesday May 29th, we will be holding a
“Futures Dinner” involving our Years 9 & 10 students
and their parents, providing further support as they
explore some of the possible paths forward beyond
Year 10 at RCCC.
Annual Report Available
As part of our school registration requirements, we
prepare and make available an annual report
regarding the operation of the College. This briefly
covers a range of areas and is different to the annual
report presented to the RCCC Inc. annual general
meeting.
This annual report is required by the school
registration authority (VRQA), posted on our website
under the “About Us” tab and also from Joan at the
school office.
The Echuca Moama Steam Rally
Our Primary students have been given the opportunity
to select a colouring-in sheet related to the Steam Rally
and more sheets are available for Primary students at
the school office if they need another one to enter the
competition.
The Echuca Moama Steam Rally is on the 8th and 9th
June 2019 at Rotary Park, Rose St, Echuca. Simply
colour in the picture, print your name and grade on
the front and your school name on the back and drop
off at the school office by Monday June 3rd for our
school to have a chance of winning a cash prize of
$500 first, $300 second or $200 third. Certificates
issued to all entrants. The best pictures will be
displayed in the Children’s Precinct at the Rally with
final judging at 3pm on Sunday 9th June. Results will
be announced on our website and
Facebook page in the week
following the Rally. At the Rally
there will be an animal nursery,
jumping castle, face painting,
horseshoe toss, puppet show, giant
dragon, jewellery making and much
more including food court, hot rods, historic machines,
working horse display and fun for the whole family.

RCCC Sports Day On Monday the 20th of May, River City Christian College held their annual Athletics Day. It started out
as a rainy day, but turned into a glorious afternoon with the sun shining down on us as we competed
with friendly spirits in sports including long jump, triple jump, shot put, discus, hurdles, sprints and long
distance running. Students’ strengths were really highlighted, particularly Georgia Wiltshire and her
ability to jump the hurdles and come first in the event! The day wasn’t just about getting first place, it
was about getting in and having a go. We also competed to earn points for our school houses, Joshua and
Caleb. See more details below for the score count! It was a fantastic day seeing students of all ages get
amongst the fun and share in each others successes. We do apologise for any inconvenience for the
delayed start, as the rain was quite heavy at the original start time.
