1 Newsletter 2018 September 7- Week 7 Term 3 What's been happening in 2s?! In 2S, we have been travelling around the world in a hot air balloon, discovering amazing places on each of the seven continents. First stop was our own capital city, Canberra, and then on to the beautiful Torres Strait Islands. We then got our passports ready and went to the Philippines, India, Greece, England and Nigeria. This week we are exploring North and Central America where our friend Taco the Chihuahua is from. Taco has been spending time with us and teaching us a little bit of Espanol! He s even going to be sharing his special taco recipe with us. Delicioso! Lisa Skinner - Primary Teacher

Not a single raindrop had fallen. Elijah went down on his knees and prayed for rain. When he lifted his head, he told his servant to look out to the sea for signs of rain. Nothing. Again Elijah prayed. Again, he asked his servant to look out to the sea for rain. And again, nothing. The response was the same. It appeared nothing was changing. Until the seventh time. On the seventh time, the servant came back. There is a small cloud about the size of a man s hand rising from the sea. Many of us have prayers that we haven t seen the answer to. Loved ones who have walked away, sicknesses that continue to grow worse, heavy situations that weigh on our hearts. It can appear that nothing is happening. And yet, I take hope in the words of Jesus. My Father is always at work, and I also am working. - John 5:17 God never stops working, never stops loving, never stops caring. Regardless of what I see in front of me, I know that my faith is based completely in the God whose love is immeasurable, whose faithfulness is never-ending. Whatever is on your heart today, whatever has been your prayer over these days, weeks, months or even years, continue to come before our faithful God knowing that He hears, He cares and He loves us more than we can imagine. And one day, I pray that we will have eyes to see that small cloud, even if it s just the size of a man s hand, rising above the sea. Joanne Rheinberger - Head of Primary School
