Throughout our life, no matter how young or old we are, we all have the opportunity to begin again.

by Colin McCarty

One of the best things we can do in our lives is this:

Begin again.

Begin to see yourself as you were

When you were the happiest and strongest you've ever been.

Begin to remember what worked for you

(and what worked against you),

And try to capture the magic again.

Begin to remember how natural it was when you were a child -

To live a lifetime each day.

Begin to forget the baggage you have carried with you

For years:

The problems that don't matter anymore,

The tears that cried themselves away,

And the worries that are going to wash away

On the shore of tomorrow's new beginnings.

Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives;

And if we will be wise,

We will turn away from the problems of the past

And give the future - and ourselves - a chance

To become the best of friends.

Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself...

Begin again.

Or you may prefer the simplier Irish blessing:

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,

the foresight to know where you're going,

and finally, the insight to know when you've gone too far.

Our Year 5 and 6 students have recently undertaken an educational tour of the national capital.

Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia's history, culture, heritage and democracy.

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national captial as part of their Civics and Citizenship education.  To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government contributes funding of $20 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards towards those costs.  The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
