Start of Term Prayer
I pray for success and achievement in this new school term.
Grant me the wisdom to set clear goals,
the patience to persevere through the challenges,
and the strength to overcome obstacles.
Let Your divine light shine up on my academic journey,
illuminating the way to knowledge and understanding.
Help me make the most of this opportunity to learn and grow,
and may my efforts bear fruit in the form of success and accomplishments.
Amen

NEWS FROM THE LANGUAGE ROOM
PHYSICAL EDUCATION NEWS - YOUR MOVE
What a terrific way to start the day!”. A sentiment that was shared by bike riders young and old as Liwara attempted a Bike Bus for the first time. It was a big success with lots of our community gearing up and travelling to school in an active way. A wonderful spread of fruit, muffins and juices awaited our riders when they got to school, and a temporary tattoo and WA Bike Month sticker meant they could show their friends with pride how they got they got to school in the morning.
As our community is quite widespread, it was excellent to see some of families using their initiative to set up their own minibuses to get to school. Some of our students took advantage of the park and ride opportunities by meeting at a local park or the nearby grocery store and joining from there. One of our Year 6 students was asked how she had planned her morning commute and what she enjoyed about the event.
‘A group of us decided we wanted to ride to school so we got our parents to drop us at a friend’s house who live near one of the local parks. Some of our group ride to school when the weather is nice, but I was doing it for the first time. It was great to have some others do it with me, so I was a bit less nervous. I liked getting muffin before school and helping the younger kids with their tattoos, but I am not looking forward to riding home after school.’
Families who joined the path set out by Mr Sanders really enjoyed the idea and are looking forward to doing it again in the future. Our hope is that this idea can springboard some of our community into venturing to school in an active way more often by joining some friends on the commute. Well done to all of our riders!

PARISH YOUTH MINISTRY NEWS
TUESDAY 28TH OCTOBER
Last week at 24:7 Greenwood, we had an awesome night filled with energy, games, and fun. The evening began with some relaxed card and board games before we moved into our first group activity, Spoons, which brought out plenty of friendly competition and laughter. We then played Spotlight, keeping everyone on their toes, and finished the night with an exciting game of soccer. It was a fantastic evening of friendship, teamwork, and joy.
NEXT YOUTH GROUP
Our next 24:7 Greenwood Youth Group will be held next week, and it’s set to be a special one — our MasterChef Night! The youth will have the chance to get creative and make their own food creations, testing their teamwork and imagination in the kitchen. We’re also excited to welcome the Youth Mission Team, with one of their members sharing a personal faith testimony. It’s going to be an inspiring and enjoyable night of faith, fun, and fellowship.
God bless,
Jesse and Lucy
