A message from Mr Lainson“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 21:1
“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him for him.” Colossians 1:16
“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them.” Psalm 8:3 - 4
Our God is the supreme artist. In Psalm 8, David writes about God creating using his fingers. His fingerprints are all over his vast universe. His artistry is revealed in everything: in the physical creation; in the variety of human character; in the expressions of people and community around us; and in the development of diverse cultural expressions. We respond in awe, wonder, interest and amazement. We have the ability to sense that there is still so much we don’t know and cannot comprehend. As we all bear God’s image we are invited to stand back and contemplate both the creator and his handiwork.
Year 12 HSCYear 12 continue their HSC examinations. Please pray for Year 12 – that they would use their study time wisely, that they would recall what they have learned and prepared for the examinations, and that the exams would be fair. Please also pray for the parents and families of Year 12 that they would be a great support to the students during this examination period.
“May the Lord direct your heards into God's love and Christ's perseverance.”
2 Thessalonians 3:5
• Give thanks for Year 12 and pray as they sit their HSC over the coming weeks.• Pray for orientation evenings and days that are coming up over the next few
weeks. Pray especially that new families will feel welcome in our community.• Give thanks for new enrolments at both Cordeaux and Tongarra.• Pray for those in our school community who are unwell.• Give thanks for our parent reps.

Prep Parking during HSC Exam PeriodFrom the 12th October to the 6th November Year 12 students will be sitting their HSC examinations in classrooms adjacent to the carpark. To ensure noise is kept to a minimum and HSC regulations are adhered to, there will be a few changes to normal routines.• Prep parking will be moved from its
current position to the area directly below the ramp leading up to prep. Staff will be asked to park their cars in the current prep parking area, in front of D14.
• The area surrounding the examination rooms, including the northern D block steps, will be roped off when exams are in progress.
• The toilets next to D14 will be reserved for students sitting their examinations. All parents and staff are asked to use the toilets at the end of E block, next to the Industrial Technology classroom.
