7 Words of Grace Your Kids Need to Hear You Say

“Hurry up!”  “Slow down!” “Get your homework done” “Get your backpack loaded.” “Why didn’t you do this?” “Why in the world did you do that?!”

If I stop to think about the everyday phrases that fly out of my mouth, these are just a few that come to mind.  In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, my language frequently drifts toward drill sergeant territory.

Tickets for our Christmas Raffle were sent out a few weeks ago to families. We would like to renind you that the tickets and cash are due back on Thursday, 9th December as the draw will be held on Friday, 10th December.

The prizes are displayed as you enter the office area.

Our Grade 6 students are currently at the Toora Pool for their 'Fun Day'. It's a sunny 32 degrees this afternoon, so it's the prefect weather for the pool. They certainly look like they're having a lot of fun.

Every year for the festive season, schools and youth groups from Yarram decorate tree cutouts which are then displayed in the main street. Our students have been hard at work this week painting and decorating our 'trees'.
