FAITH & SERVICE - WHOLE SCHOOL CHAPEL // A wonderful time of learning and praising God took place in our first whole school Chapel for 2024 this morning. Mr Foxall and helpers led one of our favourite songs, The Fruit of the Spirit. Mr Statheos talked about the faith of the Roman centurion in Luke 7:1-10 and told the story of French acrobat Charles Blondin who pushed a wheelbarrow across a tightrope at Niagara Falls. Mr Whelan reflected on our exciting future and how we can use our gifts to serve others. It was great to have so many parents joining us this morning. #mamrelearning

IN THE SWIM // Earlier this week our Primary School Swimming Carnival has held as a stand alone event for the first time, instead of being combined with the Senior School. The children were able to demonstrate their speed in the pool in competitive races and also participate in novelty events. It was wonderful to see so many children having fun. A few of the teachers and parents got into the spirit in relay races and boat races. The cheering could be heard back at Mamre with so many enthusiastic House Chants. Well done to all of the amazing students who really did make the most of the event. Can't wait for next year! #mamrelearning
