STUDENT MARKET STALL On Thursday, 9th August, the Year 5/6/7 Gardening Group held their first market

stall after school where they sold locally grown or sourced produce. They set up

their stall near the kiss and drop and sold a variety of produce such as avocados,

lemons, dried fruit, herbs, walnuts, eggs etc for extremely reasonable prices ($1 an

avocado!!!!). The group, guided by Mrs Waterson, have been diligently tending

the garden beds with a hope to be able to sell produce that is largely grown on

site. The first stall was quite successful with the students clearing over $50 after ex-

penses. This money will be used to purchase fruit trees for the school.

Newsletter Week 5 // Term 3 // Tuesday, 21st August 2018

Words are so much more important than many realize. The Bible identifies The Word as the Messiah (Christ), and through The

Word (ie. “God said”) the world, including people, were created. Humanity was created (spoken into being by The Word) for rela-

tionship with God , who loves each of us completely. God bless you all this week!
