Year 9 Newsletter

Melanie Van Rooyen —

Week 1, Term 1

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

Welcome to Year 9! The focus for Year 9 is "valuing people".  Because we love the Lord, we also love others! Since God has loved and valued us so much, He has also called us to love and value one another. John 15:12 says “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” God’s love for us is our motivation now to love others and share God’s love. There are lots of ways to show love for others. We'll be unpacking this beautiful concept during the course of the year.

We look forward to a year of exciting learning, much growth and for many memory-making opportunities.

Enjoy the upcoming long weekend!
