Waikerie Lutheran Primary School is a Christ-Centred community equipping each student for life.

Today in Art Club, the students were given the choice to do some colouring in, make an Emoji chart or

play with blocks. Art Club is run by our Chaplain, Mrs Moira Ganner every Monday and Wednesday lunch

time. Mrs Ganner provides a variety of activities for the students to enjoy, with colouring in and hands on

activities being extremely well received.

ART CLUB ACTIVITIES

100 DAY’S OF SCHOOL CELEBRATION

FOUNDATION/YEAR 1 Last Friday, the students in Foundation/Year 1 were treated to a party to

celebrate 100 days of school for 2020! The students played a number of party

games such as pass the parcel, pin the dummy on the baby and musical

statues before enjoying some party food for lunch such as pizza, fruit and cup

cakes. It was a great way for the students, particularly the Foundation students,

to commemorate this milestone and celebrate the progress they have made

at school so far this year. The smiles on their faces says it all!

CORNER OF PEACE God is light and it is His light that broke though the chaos that existed on earth in the beginning. This is the light

that was good and put out the darkness. With God was His Word, and it is His Word who came into the world

as Jesus to bring light and life to mankind. He gave this light and life to those who had trusting faithfulness in

Him and is still giving it to those who trust in Him.

God bless you all this week

SCHOOL NEWS

STUDENT VOICE

Hello, this is the school captains here reporting for duty!

This week we are going to talk to you about Mr Borgas’ invention of Share, Taray

(a word invention by Mr Borgas that is a combination of talk and pray), Bless.

This is a system we are using for Chapel and it’s all about inquiring into God and

your relationship with Him. This program’s purpose is to invite our younger

students to participate with Chapel as well as learn about God the Heavenly

Father. Last week the theme was all about your heavenly “Daddy” and students

had the opportunity to bring in something that reminded them of a Dad or

Grandpa or any family member.

Have a wonderful week,

Grace, Isabella, Amali and Natalie
