CROSS COUNTRY // After the wild weather of last weekend, yesterday was a picture perfect day for our annual Cross Country Carnival. Students enjoyed running the course through our own bushland and around the school grounds. Like all good cross country courses, there was some mud, but most competitors managed to stay clean. #mamrelearning

STUDENT LEADERSHIP // Earlier this week we inducted our 2024 Mamre Student Leadership Team in the Senior School. The SLT comprises a dynamic group of students from Year 7 to 11 who epitomise the spirit of leadership, dedication, and service within our school community. These students embody the core values of Mamre Anglican School and demonstrate exceptional qualities that make them natural leaders among their peers. We look forward to their service to our community! #mamrelearning

MESS, SMILES AND FUN // In term 1, Mrs Helo’s Junior School Science Club undertook a variety of hands on investigations to problem solve and come up with evidence-based conclusions to posed questions and encountered problems. There was lots of mess, smiles and fun! #mamrelearning

GRANDPARENTS DAY // Yesterday over 500 grandparents and special guests visited Mamre as part of our annual Grandparents Day. After being greeted by our RFS Cadets, our visitors attended our Easter Chapel service where student and staff performances helped us to worship God and hear about the Good News of God's love for us celebrated at Easter. Junior School classes opened their doors to showcase their learning, before sharing morning tea with their families in our spacious grounds and visiting the Book Fair in the Library. Finally, the Easter Hat Parade in The Stadium capped off a wonderful day of community celebration. #mamrelearning

HARMONY AND COMMUNITY // Harmony Day at Mamre this week was a wonderful example of the strength of our community. We celebrated both our diversity in its many forms and our unity in Christ. Senior School connect groups from Years 7 to 12 spent time with all Junior School classes sharing in multiple activities, including chatting to get to know each other, decorating our "sea of hands" and playing outdoor games together. Smiles abounded from the younger children as they looked up to the older students, while the smiles of the older students demonstrated their interest and care for their younger peers. Everyone belongs! #mamrelearning
