The silent strength of starlight's gleam

Is filling my soul with new heavenly might.

In darkness of winter, I woke from a dream

Like a child from sleep in the middle of the night.

Now new hope is dawning - strong and supreme,

And declaring, "Go forth out of darkness to light!"

Dear GHSS Families,

Book Week - Thank you to Denmark Library for arranging our Book Week Incursion. Stig Wemyss, audio book narrator, best know for his narration of Andy Griffiths novels, visited our school to kick off Book Week.

Friday was our Book Week character dress-up parade!  How wonderful to see the level of participation and what a range of literature our school community treasures!  Well done to everyone on their costume efforts. 

The Great Golden Hill Book Week Book Swap -  For those wanting to know, we managed to raise $240 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.  I hope everyone enjoys their new books!

Save the Date for Spring Fair  - Saturday, November 18th from 10am - 2pm.  All families are asked to participate in the day by cooking for our Tea & Cake stall, helping out with a class activity to entertain attendees, having a stall, contributing to stalls or being a part of the set-up and pack-down.  Staff will also be there coordinating performances, running tours and hosting open classrooms.

Class carers, staff and the organising committee will be meeting this Friday afternoon at the end of school.  If you have some ideas to share, let your class carer know or come along!  We are meeting on the grassed area between the classes.  There will be afternonon tea and the kids can play in the playground while we meet. 

Spare Parts Puppet Theatre Classes 1-3 will have Spare Parts Puppet Theatre visiting this week to perform and run workshops with them! 

Greek Olympics We wish our Class 5 athletes all the best for their journey to compete in the Greek Olympics at Perth Waldorf School, in Bibra Lake, on Friday September 15th.  May they compete with bravery and valor to bring honour to their city state.
