A Message From Mr Lainson

In Hebrews 11:24 – 28 we read:

“By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of

Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God

rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He regarded disgrace for the

sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was

looking ahead to his reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s

anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. By faith he kept

the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the

firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.”

Moses was a great man of faith who valued his relationship with God more

highly than the pleasures and attractions of this world. He surrendered the

treasures of this world in order to join his people on their journey from

slavery, he endured opposition and he relied and persuaded others to trust in

the sacrificial lamb. Moses longed for and looked forward to a Messiah

prefigured in the symbols of the Passover. We can know and trust in the

perfect, once for all, sacrificial lamb of Christ. But do we regard suffering

disgrace for the sake of Christ of greater value than the treasures of 21st

century Australia?

Year 12 HSC Examinations

Please continue to pray for our Year 12 students as they study and sit for the

HSC examinations this week. The exams are located in D14, just off the car

park near the staff toilets, for most of the remaining examination period.

Please respect exam signs if you see them up and about the school and be

conscious of the noise around exam rooms.

School Hours and Car park

A reminder to all school families that students are not to be dropped at school

before 8:30am. In addition, unless you have a prep child or a parking permit

plant in the hearts of the little girls that

they are worthy and valued.

Their mission is to change lives one little

dress at a time.

pillowcases (in new condition) to help with this cause?

KIDS CLOTHES SWAP FUNDRAISER

Saturday Nov 15th – 2pm

Illawarra Christian School - Hall

(same day/time as make-up school working bee)

So I hear you ask, “What is involved in a Kids Clothes swap event”?

A clothes swap is a fun, cost saving event, where for a small entry fee of $10

you can update your children’s wardrobe just by bringing along any clothes, shoes or accessories your child no longer needs (that are still in good condi-

tion), and swap them with something else – free .

It is a simple concept that:

1. Saves you money in purchasing new clothes for your kids, that they just

grow out of too quickly anyway.

2. Raises money for the school, to be put back into great school projects.

3. Donates back to specific areas of need within our Illawarra community with the left over items.

4. Is great for the environment by preventing more landfill, and reducing the

demand on water, energy and raw materials.

How it works: Clean out your kids’ wardrobes, bring along any clothes you no longer require (all of good quality, that you would be happy to see on

another child), display on tables marked with appropriate clothing size, and once the event is declared officially open you go and find new items to take

home.

Bring clothes sized 000 – Yr 12 boys and girls.

Come along and see how many lives some old clothes and $10 can touch and

benefit. Bring your family, friends and neighbours, and see what its like to live in community with each other.

It is simple, it is fun, it is cost saving and it is not to be missed!
