G B Mason

From the Head of Junior School

Today Year Five returned from Camp Kangaroobie having had a wonderful four days away. I was pleased to spend two days with the boys in their camp environment and enjoyed the set activities.

The staff give enormously during camps such as these and I extend sincere thanks to the staff who have attended camps over the past two weeks.

At Tuesday's Assembly, Mr Carson announced to the boys the remaining school leaders for 2000. Many other positions of leadership will be appointed a little later on, however congratulations are extended to :

School Vice Captains: Andrew Prowse 6W, Oliver Baxter 6I, Andrew Hardeman 6W

Music Thomas Naughton 6W

Bradshaw

Andrew Fairservice 6I (Captain), Angus Brougham 6P (Vice Captain), Alastair Gurney 6W ( Vice Captain)

Campbell

Benjamin Wong 6P (Captain), Nicholas Cathie 6I (Vice Captain), John Kafkas 6W (Vice Captain)

Healey

Alexander Booth 6I (Captain), Thomas Rees 6P (Vice Captain), Alastair England 6I (Vice Captain)

Waller

David Taylor 6P (Captain), William Marshall 6I (Vice Captain), Thomas Sutton 6P (Vice Captain)

These boys will be presented with their badges of Office by the Principal at a special Assembly next Monday.

As this has been a shorter week, we have not had a theme for the week. I do however, wish to leave you with a thought I shared last year that many parents commented on....

Doubt sees the obstacles.
Faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the darkest night.
Faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step.
Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions "Who believes?"
Faith answers, "I."
