Can you believe that Term 1 is over just like that?  

This term has gone fast and for some, schooling would have been a mixture of at-home learning and at-school learning. To begin our holidays this year we are fortunate to be able to celebrate Easter. 

This week in Chaplain's time I have been sharing the message of Easter with the students, learning about why Jesus died for us. We have learned that Easter isn't just about getting chocolate Easter eggs, and there's the deeper meaning of Salvation from Christ.  

When we read the story in the Bible of Jesus' crucifixion it says, 'He died for us' - did you know the word 'for' also means 'instead of'? He did it because He loved us and did not want us to have to pay the price of sin. When He died on the cross for us He was saying, 'I will take all those things on myself'.

He died for us!  

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

I hope that you have a blessed Easter weekend and holidays, and look forward to seeing everyone back at school next term!  

Blessings,
