WEEK:
Prayer for National Reconciliation Week
God of holy Dreaming, Great Creator Spirit,
from the dawn of creation you have given your
PREP STUDENTS:
children to the good things of Mother Earth.
Sch ool Nu r si n g Pr ogr am 2016 Qu est i on n ai r e
You spoke and the gum tree grew.
In the vast desert and dense forest,
and in cities at the water's edge,
Creation sings your praise.
When Jesus hung on the tree , you heard the cries of your people
and became on with your wounded ones:
the convicts, the hunted and the dispossessed.
The sunrise of your Son coloured the earth anew,and bathed it in glorious hope.
In Jesus we have been reconciled to you,to each other and to your whole creation.
Lead us on, Great Spirit,
As we gather from the four corners of the earth;
Enable us to walk together in trust from the hurt of the past into the full day
which has dawned in Jesus Christ.

NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS
LEADERSHI P DAY! On Tuesday 16t h May 2016
5 students (Myron, Kailea, James, Mak and myself) went on a trip to WHITTEN OVAL & ROD LAVER
ARENA
Everybody was extremely excited and we went in Michelle & Sandy?s cars to WestGrove Primary
school for where the bus was going to pick us and on our way to WHITTEN OVAL.
We met all of the players it was really shocking to meet the Bulldogs it was the best time of my life
and then they had taken us out to the oval and we played markers up and I never marked but I was
pretty close, Kailea had marked her very first football. We then went to ROD LAVER AREA we had saw
the trophies and a lot of superstar?s pictures. I learnt that Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic have
won 6 trophies in Australia which is amazing and we also had Subway for lunch.
Heba Peterwal Grade 6
Red House Captain
What I liked about The Champions Day was almost everything, I liked the part when we got to meet
the Bulldogs players and they were like giants.
We played markers up and Heba never marked it, then we had to leave and go to the tennis tour at
Rod Laver Arena.
When we went to the tennis tour.I thought we were actually going to play tennis and meet the tennis
players.
It was fun when we went in the Rod Laver Arena and I learnt that the triangles in the stadium at
Margaret Court Arena were for some lady's dress.
Thank You for the day!!!
Mac Makuac Grade 6
Blue House Captain
It was fun for everyone that went to Rod Laver Arena for a tennis tour and the Western Bulldogs
Grandstand. We met some Western Bulldogs players and learnt about the Australian Open. We met all
of the players in the Bulldogs team and we had a interview with a Western Bulldogs player Jordan
Roughead who spoke about leadership and respect.
James Tropiano Grade 5
We had 5 students from the house captains team go on an excursion to the Western Bulldogs Whitten
Oval. While we were there we met Jordan Roughead. While we were with Jordan we were talking
about leadership. Leadership is a big thing in football. After having a tour of the grounds and having a
kick on the oval we went to Rod Laver Arena for a tennis tour. At Rod Laver Arena we learnt that the
capacity is 16,100 but the seating is 14,000. On court 2 there is not as much room but there is 7,500
seating and 8,000 in capacity.
Kailea Baltesch Grade 6
Yellow Captain
I have learnt on our Leadership Day that Rod Laver Arena has a capacity of 16,100 and the seats of Rod
Laver arena is 14,000 and also I learnt that the MCG is going to be 77 years old. I have also learnt that
Novak Djokovic has won 6 mens championship and Serena Williams won 6 womens championships.
We got to see the mens tennis players change rooms.
At Western Bulldogs I have met Jordan Roughead and all the students asked Jordan questions and we
took a photo with Jordan Roughead and Jack Stringer.
