OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

For many years, Australian Christian College Marsden Park has proudly partnered with Operation Christmas Child, a project by Samaritan’s Purse that brings joy and hope to children in need across the globe. This year we invite our entire school community from K-12 to pack shoeboxes full of toys, school supplies, personal care items, and other thoughtful gifts for children who may never have received a gift before. We need your help to make this possible! While we have planned some exciting fundraising ideas within the school, we are also seeking donations to help cover shipping costs and help us fill even more boxes. Cash donations are welcome at our Student Hubs, and to make it ever easier for you to share this heartwarming cause, we’ve set up an online platform for your friends and family to contribute too. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference to brighten a child’s Christmas. The Bible reminds us in Colossians that as members of God's family, we are to show kindness and compassion to everyone: “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” (Colossians 3:12) Please CLICK HERE to donate.


LIBRARY ANNOUNCEMENT

The Library now has access to an eBook system called ePlatform for all students and staff (On Campus and Distance Education). ePlatform gives our students 24/7 access to eBooks and Audio Books from anywhere.

There are two ways to access ePlatform:

  • In-browser: Students can read on a laptop/iPad internet browser, accessed by this link. Login is through Okta (click "Sign in" at the top right, choose "Sign in with SSO", then press sign in, and it will trigger the Okta sequence).

  • ePlatform Digital Libraries app: ePlatform comes as an Apple iPhone/iPad app! Once the app is installed, the first time login process is to set up a new school (search for Marsden Park, then select the school), and log in with Okta.

NOTE: If you have screen time restrictions on iPad usage, please allow "ePlatform by Wheelers" in your child’s screen time controls, so that it can be accessed.
