SEQTA is made up of three systems that all work together to assist teachers (SEQTA Teach), students (SEQTA Learn) and parents (SEQTA Engage). SEQTA is a leading teaching and learning support system that integrates Wellbeing, Learning and Attendance management in one solution, driving deeper engagement with students, teachers and parents to improve learning outcomes. I look forward to seeing you and wish you a very relaxing and restful weekend. Please reply via this form today to indicate your attendance. These are the dates of the “Spiritual Gym” for the remainder of Term 1: Through prayer, fellowship, Bible reading, and spiritual nourishment we attend to our inner lives and find meaning, purpose, and hope.Īll the students attending are encouraged to bring something that represents their study and work this year, for instance, a backpack or pencil case, etc for a special blessing. The idea of a ‘Spiritual Gym” fits in with our educational vision at Lindisfarne which strongly focuses on the holistic development of our students -body, mind, and spirit. Please come along on Sunday, 5th February for refreshments at 4.30 pm, followed by the Service at 5 pm in the Mahers Lane Chapel. In this light, I am writing to warmly invite you to the ‘Spiritual Gym’ and Family Eucharist to welcome and entrust the new academic year to God’s guidance, protection, and blessing. For what is impossible for us is possible for God (Cf. However, we have a God whose goodness and resources never run dry. In this endeavour, we have various resources at our disposal, but being human, these resources are limited. “This is a wonderful day, I have never seen this one before.” ~ Maya AngelouĮvery new day or new year gives us an opportunity to begin again to dream, to hope, and to work for a more just, humane, loving, and peaceful society. The first monthly service for 2023 is this Sunday 5 February.Įnjoy the weekend ahead and a chance to regroup after what is always a very rewarding but busy week of the School year for staff, students and families.ĭear Students, Staff, Parents, and Guardians, An afternoon tea is available from 4.30pm with a short service from 5:00 to 6:00pm. Once a month on Sunday afternoons we have ‘Spiritual Gym’ in the Chapel at Mahers Lane. We continue to work with Kinetic (Surfside) on the provision of additional buses and will meet with them again next week. As our regular before and after school activities kick in and our extensive sports and cocurricular programs are underway this will further stagger the traffic flow. Please use bus services whenever possible, consider carpooling for those families who drive, use the drop-and-go zone as much as possible and if you live locally and can walk safely to school please do so. The traffic will settle over the next fortnight.
Adding to the complexity was a house removal on Monday, a bus strike Tuesday, vegetation trimming reducing Terranora road to one lane on Thursday and works across the road from the Mahers Lane campus on Friday morning! The traffic flowed well at Sunshine Avenue given it was the start of School but was more complex at Mahers Lane. Thank you for your support this week with the back-to-school traffic at both campuses. All parents of the School are welcome and the invitation to the event is attached below this article with the link to confirm attendance.
I’d encourage parents to attend the Principal’s - Parents and Friends Welcome Event on Friday, 17 February, with our Junior School campus at Sunshine Avenue being the host venue again.
It is uplifting to see our School parents embrace the opportunity to once again meet face to face following the Covid-19 restrictions of the last three years with great attendance at our Netball Support Group meeting this week and our Stage 4 meet the Homeroom Teacher on Wednesday evening. One of only four teachers at Lindisfarne in 1983, John has made a significant contribution to our School and is highly respected by our School community. We were especially thrilled to recognise the 40 years of service of Mr John White (below) who has worked at our School almost since our inception. An honourable tradition at the School is to recognise the service of the long-serving staff at this event. Last week we held our annual staff dinner ahead of students returning to school. We have had a week of very hot weather and are grateful that our school is air-conditioned allowing productive learning to continue despite the heat. Students and staff are quickly settling in at both campuses and programs are underway. We have enjoyed a positive week of learning as we commence the 2023 academic year.
