What’s Happening

RCS Community Group Meeting – TONIGHT
We have our second meeting for the RCS Community Group Meeting tonight at 7.30pm.  This meeting will be in order to establish a vision for the group and form sub-groups in order to achieve this vision. 

Production at Emmanuel Christian School – This Wednesday
 Thank you to all the parents that have offered to provide transport for this event, if you could get to school around 11.40am and come to the office so we can see that you have a current Warrant of Fitness and Drivers License, that would be great.
Important information for the trip:

All children under 7 need to BRING A BOOSTER SEAT.

The cost of the production is $2 per child, if you could send $2 to school and ask your child to bring it to the office that would be great.

The children will eat their lunch at the venue and we should be back at school by 3pm.

Mufti Day for final day of term – Thursday
Thursday is the final day of term. We will finish at the usual time of 3pm and will have a mufti day. For Mufti Day please bring a gold coin donation for the children of Vanuatu. We will have a End of Term Assembly at 12pm to celebrate the term and the children’s achievements.

Living Christianly Focus this week – Easter
With this week being the lead up to Easter the junior hub are focussing on the Easter story with your children.
Today began with the easter story from the children’s bible. There was a lot of discussion and wonderful questions about the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
As there are some fairly difficult concepts for children in this topic you may find your child has more questions for you at home.
We are really impressed with the depth of questioning and thinking that our children are producing this time.

What’s Coming Up

RCS Board Elections –  Now that our school is up and running we need to move from an Establishment Board of Trustees to a parent elected board. We have four positions to fill through this election. If you are keen to be involved in the development of our school at a governance level then please look at the following information here. Being a trustee is a rewarding and extremely important role. We need people who are passionate about developing a highly effective Christian school, and are willing to bring the gifts, skills and passions they have to the role. Nominations will open April 10 and close April 24.
