Good Afternoon Families and Friends,
Firstly we would like to congratulate all students who took part in the 3-6 Athletics Carnival last week. It was a lovely day and wonderful to see so many parents cheering the houses on. Well done to Alethea who were overall champions for 2021. Our ELC students will have their carnival in Term 4, maybe this will be the time for Carana or Timae to turn the tables?
Kimberley Tour

Car Parking / Drop Off and Pick Up
Several staff and parents have raised their concerns that the bottom car park at Doveridge Drive is being used for Kiss and Drive. Please be aware that the car park is not to be used for Kiss and Drive. We have allocated a specific area in the Primary school for Kiss and Drive. This area is supervised and its location chosen to support the safe movement of children whilst on the school premises. Please feel free to park at the bottom car park but we kindly request that it is not used for Kiss and Drive purposes.
As we finish this term off well, with so many opportunities for our students, we want to thank our amazing staff for consistently going above and beyond for the students in their care. We would also like to thank our families for supporting our staff and these events. We have many parents that offer their time, expertise and support to the school, which enables us to offer more for our students. We are blessed to have such a wonderful community.
Warm regards

ELC FUNDRAISER – NON-UNIFORM DAY MONDAY 20 SEPTEMBER – FRUITFUL HARVEST
(Please bring along your donations)
What a blessing your school is to so many hurting children here in Zimbabwe.
Our schools are starting up on the 6 of September. As you can imagine children all over the world have been hearing about COVID, and have had to change their lives around because of it.
After over a year of lockdown, getting to go to school only having to stop again. The children we reach out to have no way of getting their education through Zoom or any other online studies. This means that they just get further and further behind in ther studies.
We are so thankful that your school is wanting to do a fundraiser for these children.
This year we now have 3 teachers who will be going into the schools every week and doing worship and telling Bible stories through the Time With Jesus program. And because of your help we will also be able to give eggs to them as well!!!
Thank you all for doing your part to help other children in a country so far away!!! May God bless you, your school and your families for they way you always think of others.
