Read more for a series of important announcements from our College Principal.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - NEW PLAYGROUND SPACE
The Board of the College are delighted to share the news with the ACC community that after some lengthy, and at times complicated, negotiations we have reached agreement with the owners of the property adjacent to the campus, to have ongoing access to the significant portion of their land behind the house at 53 Farm Road.
We will be commencing work as soon as we can to make the surface suitable and safe for general play and will be replacing all current fencing to allow appropriate access to and security of the area. We believe that this extensive expansion of areas for play will greatly enhance the enjoyment and safety of students during their breaks from class learning.
Further details will be made available as soon as they are confirmed.
ACC CAROLS - AN UPDATE
We have postponed our planned Christmas Carols event (previously in the Calendar for Term 4) and are looking forward to hosting a BIG Carols event for our community in 2025! To celebrate the Christmas season this year, we will be sharing a Christmas message (produced in our ACC Studio) and will have Christmas themed Chapels towards the end of the Term for both Primary and Secondary. Look out for more details in Term 4!
FACEBOOK PARENT GROUP - LAUNCHED!
If you are on Facebook, we invite you to join our ACC Marsden Park Parents Group. As we are now a large College community, we know it can be challenging to connect with other families, so this is an online opportunity to do just that. ACC Staff will occasionally post announcements, alerts or reminders in this group, but the primary intent is for this group to be an avenue for parents to ask questions, answer questions that others ask, share information and interact with other ACC parents.
Please note: the group is only for CURRENT parents/primary caregivers of the College. Please do not invite extended family members or ‘non-ACC parent’ friends to join the group, as they will not be approved.
WATOTO CHOIR VISIT Ben Green
In Week 7, the College had the privilege of hosting the Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda. Watoto began as a church plant in the 1980s to bring hope and life to a country plagued by civil war. Since this time, many orphaned and abandoned children have been placed into loving homes through the work of Watoto. One of the unique expressions of this ministry is the children's choir which was formed 25 years ago. It seeks to share the message of God's unfailing love for all people through song and dance.
It was a wonderfully positive and engaging experience for both our Primary and Secondary students. They participated in singing, dancing and were blessed to hear a hope-filled message about Jesus from some of the Watoto team. The students rallied around the teachers who were involved in a dance off competition. The room was filled with a beautiful sense of joy and excitement and our students left buzzing! A great day was had by all and we look forward to future partnerships with Watoto.
BOOK DONATIONS - THANK YOU!
Last week, we displayed in our new Library all the books that were donated during the Book Fair - it was 80 in total! We are very grateful and thankful to everyone who boosted our Library collection and added to the wonderful opportunities that books and reading brings our students.
