Hard work has paid off this holidays for Logan McCormick (Year 10) who has won two gold medals for Australia in the Oceania Sailing Championships! Logan won an individual gold and team gold for kiteboarding in the competition which runs as part of the Pacific Games in Samoa.
Go Logan!
The South Africa Service Tour departs on the 28th of March – we ask for your prayers as our students and staff endeavour to complete some fantastic work in disadvantaged communities.
On Saturday our students raised $1454 at a Joondalup Bunnings sausage sizzle – we are really proud of their efforts.
This combines with the $750 that each student has raised as part of their tour commitment.
Our aim is to build a laundry facility at Jehova Jireh Haven out of a reconstructed shipping container.
Much of the structural work has already been completed in South Africa and our students will add the finishing touches such as painting the outside, plumbing the washing machines, paving the outside and setting up washing lines.
The Haven has previously hand washed the laundry for over 140 children. The container laundry facility will hopefully be a massive blessing to their lives.
The students are also building a giant jungle gym that will cater for the children at the haven – we will certainly post pictures of their efforts. If last year’s netball courts are anything to go by then we aim to surprise everyone with a giant jungle gym set up.
