Drawn out into the sheen, the shine, the glisten and the gleam,

It would be easy to be lost into a dream.

So I must rouse myself and start

To conjure forces of the heart,

Which live within me truly and will bring

The strength and majesty that make me like a king!

Amidst the glory of the sense-world, everywhere displayed,

In sunlit grove and glen and leafy glade,

It is the human heart that rules and reigns supreme!

Dear GHSS Families,

Spring Fair This weekend will see our school abuzz with the excitement of the Spring Fair and Open Day  - an opportunity to show our beautiful school off to family, friends and the broader community!  If you are yet to commit to a job on or for the day, I know there are still spaces on a couple of rosters such as the Bow and Arrow activity and the Handcraft stall.  Or perhaps you can help out with set up or pack down?  If you are keen to assist but don't know where to start call the school or contact Chief Organiser, Laura Egan at Laura Egan lauramargaret.egan@gmail.com.  We will find you the perfect job!  Can't wait to see you all there on the day!

No Assembly With everyone committed to jobs and class performances for the Spring Fair and Open Day, there will be no assembly this Friday as we are saving up to wow you all on the Saturday!  However, if you do some time Friday, the Fair Committee will be ever so appreciative of those who are able to lend a hand Friday or early Saturday morning to get things set up, ready and everything ship-shape for the big event!

Swimming Lessons Next week is Swimming Week!  Children will need to attend school dressed in their bathers with their school clothes over the top.  Don't forget to send dry underwear for afterwards!  The bus will depart first thing in the morning to arrive in Albany in time for a 10.05am start.  Students will have a double lesson of 80 minutes and will eat lunch before boarding the bus for the return trip home.
