As we reach this part of the term, we know that many families, and our students, may be feeling a little tired and ready for a break. This week, our chapel and devotions focus on “The Sword of the Spirit” and our CLEAR value of being LEARNERS.

Through Ephesians 6:17, students are reminded that God’s Word teaches us, guides us and gives us strength. We have explored how Jesus used Scripture when He was tired, hungry and tempted, and how learning God’s Word helps us make wise choices, stand strong and trust God in difficult moments.

As a family, perhaps take a few minutes this week to read a Bible verse together, talk about a time when God’s Word has helped you make a good choice, or simply pray together for strength and wisdom during this busy season.

How could this week’s focus uplift your family? When we are tired, God’s Word reminds us that we do not have to navigate life in our own strength. His Word is a light for our path and a source of hope, wisdom and encouragement.

“Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.” – Psalm 119:105

You’re invited to our Book Week Costume Parade!

A quick reminder that our Book Week Costume Parade is happening this Friday, 28 August, from 8:55–9:35 am in Stan Baker Hall.

We are looking forward to celebrating the joy of reading and seeing the creativity of our students and families. Families are warmly invited to dress up and join in the fun!

As you prepare costumes, we kindly ask families to keep the following in mind:

• Costumes should reflect our CLEAR values and be appropriate for our CCC environment.

• In honour of our Christian values, please avoid magical or supernatural-themed characters.

• Please choose costumes that are age-appropriate and not frightening or scary, particularly for our younger students.

• Please ensure costumes allow students to participate safely and comfortably throughout the parade.

Thank you for helping us create a positive and joyful celebration for all our students.

We can’t wait to see everyone’s wonderful book-inspired costumes on Friday!

Book Fair starts next Friday, August 28th – September 2nd in the Learning Hub! You are invited to discover a Symphony of Stories. Parents and families are welcome to browse exciting new titles before and after school. Come along, find your rhythm, and help us compose a better library for our students!

The countdown is on! Our school musical is now less than three weeks away, so don’t miss your chance to see our CCC students take to the stage.
