Finish Strong

This term we have been singing a song by Becky Drake, Nick Drake (2021 album The Rock) the chorus of which says: 

Stand strong 
God is with you 
Stand strong 
God is for you 
Stand strong 
Jesus is the Rock you're on 

It has been awesome hearing the students belting out the words of the song and following the actions.  As we wind up the term and get ready for the holidays, the wear of the eleven-week long term is visible in the students and the staff.  They are all ready for a rest and definitely, when it does come at the end of the week, there will be deep appreciation for the rest.   

The assurance that God has been with us this term is undeniable looking at all we have achieved as a school community. The learning, the fun that went along with it, the worship times and even the sometimes not so easy times serve only to remind us the God has been with us.   

We have stood strong, but I also want to encourage us to finish strong as we head into the break.  When we get to the end of the week, please remember to “Stand strong” and enjoy the break knowing the Rock on which you stand.  Happy holidays.  May God watch over you as you rest and take a break from the school run for a couple of weeks.  Looking forward to what lies ahead in the new term.
