Being There
Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 40–41; 2 Peter 3 They sat on the ground with (Job) for seven days and seven nights
Job 2:13
Today’s Scripture and Insight: Job 2:11 – 13
When Jen, a theme park employee, saw Ralph collapse in tears on the ground, she
rushed to help. Ralph, a young boy with autism, was sobbing because the ride he’d
waited all day to enjoy had broken down. Instead of hurrying him to his feet or
simply urging him to feel better, Jen got down onto the ground with Ralph, validat-
ing his feelings and allowing him the time to cry.
Jen’s actions are a beautiful example of how we can come alongside those who are
grieving or suffering. The Bible tells of Job’s crippling grief after the loss of his
home, his herds (his income), his health, and the simultaneous deaths of his ten
children. When Job’s friends learned of his pain, they “set out from their homes . .
. [to go] comfort him” (Job 2:11). Job sat on the ground in mourning. When they
arrived, his friends sat down with him—for seven days—saying nothing because
they saw the depth of his suffering.
In their humanness, Job’s friends later offered Job insensitive advice. But for the
first seven days, they gave him the wordless and tender gift of presence. We may
not understand someone’s grief, but we don’t need to understand in order to love
Our year 5/6 class enjoyed a fabulous week in Geraldton the week before last.
Activities included: canoeing, building and racing rafts, visiting the Maritime
Museum and sandboarding. Perhaps the highlight of the excursion was abseiling
down the gorges at Kalbarri. Children had the choice of a 4m, 25m and 35m. I can
personally testify that my legs were shaking and my heart was pounding as I went
over the edge. The children were a little bit braver than me, and every one of
them overcame their fears to scale down the sides of the cliff face. But what a
sense of achievement on reaching the bottom, knowing that you have done
something very mentally challenging!
Geraldton Camp school provided us with beds and I must say some delicious meals
during our stay. The roast chicken on the final night was the best I have tasted for a
long time!!
We took the opportunity during the camp to treat our Year 6 students to their
Graduation Dinner at Dome. After eating we then headed to the movie theatre
and watched the new Aussie movie starring Michael Caton called Rams. The film
was shot in Mt Barker W.A. and captured some unique Australian country
characters and was thoroughly enjoyed by our students.
I would like to thank Rachael Smith and Jenna York who accompanied us on the trip
and helped make it such a success. The children would agree with me that you
guys were great. I would also like to seriously thank the Carnarvon Shire for
making available two 12-seater buses for the trip.
Upcoming Busy (but exciting week)
Thursday night 3/11 Annual Year 5 and 6 “Box Night” at school. We (Yr5/6 class)
sleep over but in cardboard boxes with the aim of raising awareness of some of the
hardships of people struggling on the streets and homeless refugees.

Principal’s Report
Box night – students will give up many of the familiar comforts that are often taken for granted: their warm, comfortable bed will be re-placed with cold, hard concrete. Their safe and secure home with a cardboard box. A hearty, home-made meal with a humble pre-pared meal.

This year the Year 5 and 6 stu-dents had their School Camp in
Geraldton at the Bluff Point Camp School. They had 5 days full to the brim with activities and adventures such as abseil-ing, raft making, zip lining and sand boarding just to name a
few. Special thanks to Mr Shaw, Mrs Smith and Miss York for
making the week a memorable one.
