Devotion ThoughtNational Sorry Day is an Australia-wide observance held on May 26 each year, followed by Reconciliation Week. This week gives people the chance to come together and share the steps towards healing for the Stolen Generations, their families and communities.

Sorry Day Prayer

Almighty and loving God,You who created ALL people in your image,Lead us to seek your compassionas we listen to the stories of our past.

You gave your only Son, Jesus,who died and rose again so that sins will be forgiven.We place before you the pain andanguish of dispossession of land,language, lore, culture andfamily kinship that Aboriginal and TorresStrait Islander peoples have experienced.We live in faith that all peoplewill rise from the depths of despair and hopelessness.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait IslanderFamilies have endured the painand loss of loved ones, through the separation of children from their families.We are sorry and ask God’s forgiveness.

Touch the hearts of the broken, homelessand inflicted and heal their spirits.In your mercy and compassionwalk with us as we continue our journeyof healing to create a future that is just and equitable.Lord, you are our hope.Amen.

LORDS Voices to be heard on Climate ChangeYear 8 students Harry J, Maya J and Alison A recently entered the 2019 Minister’s Climate Challenge and, out of thousands of entries, have been selected as one of five finalists in the State as Queensland Youth Climate Ambassadors! The trio will attend a Business Camp for three days followed by a Showcase Evening where they will pitch their ideas before a judging panel. As part of the program they will also hear from former US Vice-president and climate change advocate Al Gore!

What an amazing achievement and experience for these three! Thanks to Ms Andersson for encouraging and supporting these students and facilitating the opportunity. Go Team LORDS!

Under 8s Week at LORDSOn Wednesday and Thursday afternoons this week, Preps and Kindy children have been celebrating Under 8s week.

The focus this year has been on celebrating languages and cultures in our community. In Prep A we looked at the Filipino and Japanese cultures, in Prep B we looked at the Mexican and Indian cultures and in Kindy we looked at the Korean and Aboriginal cultures.

We have learnt songs, dances, heard stories and created some lovely artwork.

Year 1 Student Dive In to Aged CareLast week our Year 1 students were immersed in an empathetic deep dive. They had the opportunity to hear from experts in aged care, listen to stories about what it feels like to lose your memory and experience and observe an aged care facility firsthand. The students will now take on the role of interior designers to help solve the problem they have identified through these activities. They will explore how they can make an aged care facility feel more like home, for the people who live there! We can’t wait to see what creative ideas our students come up with to help real people in our local community!

LORDS GRAND FINAL WINNERS!

This week the combined Year 7/8 volleyball boys took on Marymount in the grand final. They have remained undefeated this season and with some excellent serving from Jaiden and with some ‘quick on your toes’ action from Harry and Max they pulled through and won the grand final! They then celebrated with lollipops.

So overall the day was very positive, and everyone played well. A big congratulations is in order as they were eventual 2-0 winners.

Athletics Carnival and DistrictsA reminder that the Senior & Middle School Athletics Carnival is on Friday of week 9 (June 21) with a back-up plan for the following Thursday (June 26). Students wishing to make districts will need to place first in their event and partake in a minimum of four training sessions this term. Second placed athletes will be permitted providing they also attend the sessions and reach a suitable qualifying time / distance.
