Choir/Band Year End Excursion
The school choir and band members enjoyed a fun filled year end excursion, on Friday, December 4th. They went to the ‘Roy Marten Reserve’ playground in Taperoo, and had a wonderful time being outdoors and exploring the great equipment that was available. Both the teachers and bus drivers got involved and had as much fun as the children.
A big thank you to all of the teachers, SSO’s and bus drivers for making this day possible and for all of their help. Thank you to the students for being on their best behaviour and making the day a fun filled success!













The 2020 School Year has now come and gone. It has certainly been a memorable one. Around this time of year, I spend some time reflecting on the Christmas Story. The story of Jesus’ birth is one which has long fascinated me. The whole idea that the God of the universe would take the form of a human being to show just what God’s love and grace are all about, challenges my thinking. But there is more. It also challenges how I live my life and how I view my fellow human beings. If the God of the universe would do that for me, I can’t help but try to pass that along to my fellow human beings.
I have been on the receiving end of much of the love and care I referred to just now, from our school community this year. I hope that you have experienced that at Prescott Primary Northern this year also. I would like to challenge our graduating Year 6 students to take the approach of giving to others as well, and go on to even greater things. We are so proud of our Year 6 class, and we pray God’s blessing and protection on them as they leave us.
I cannot end this year without saying a big thank you to all of the staff at Prescott Primary Northern. The flexibility and willingness to help and pick up on what needed to be done, has been inspirational. From bus drivers picking up in the morning, the front office staff taking things to classrooms and following up requests, teachers preparing for all different scenarios, chaplains contacting families, SSOs getting extra resources together, IT staff sorting out online learning challenges, canteen and student services staff going the extra mile, volunteers, grounds and maintenance staff and School Council, to our amazing Deputy Principals, my most heartfelt thanks goes to you all.
I must also thank our students and families. Much has been fired at you with changes to the school program this year, and I want to thank you for support, kindness and understanding. It has reminded me again how blessed I am to be a part of the Prescott Primary Northern family.
I would like to wish you all a most blessed Christmas and my hope is that the Love and Grace of God we see in the Christmas story, will be real for you every day.
Have a great holiday break with your kids,
Mark Borresen
Isaiah 9: 6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.”
Christmas is a wonderful time where people experience the joy of giving and receiving gifts. It can also be a stressful time as we go through the process of buying gifts for other people with the hope that they will bring that person joy.
I am sure that many of us have experienced that horrible feeling where we have spent a lot of time and money to buy that perfect gift for someone, only to see their faces frown in disappointment, or twist into a fake smile as they open it up. As horrible as that feeling is, there is something even worse than that, and that is where the person does not open up your gift at all. That would be absolutely heartbreaking.
In John 3:16 we read:
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.
Christmas celebrates the amazing truth that God loves all of us so much, that He has emptied all of heaven to give us the greatest gift that He can give, His son Jesus, so that we can all live forever with Him in a world with no COVID-19, sickness, sorrow, pain or death.
The sad thing is that many people have never even opened this gift.
I pray that this Christmas we will receive God’s greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ, the reason for the season.
God bless,
Roland Talamaivao-Amituanai
