One of the dreams as part of our Mission Trip was to have those who we have visited and ministered to in Yarrabah, come and visit and minister to us and I am delighted to tell you that this is going to happen very, very soon!
In Week 6 (19-23 November) we are hosting seven of our Aboriginal friends from Yarrabah at Covenant and they will be spending the week at our school sharing their faith, testimony, culture, dance and stories with us. They will be visiting individual classes from Transition to Year 12, spending time with staff, speaking and performing at the General Assembly and also at a Special Parent Evening on Tuesday 20. November (see above).
I am pleased to tell you that amongst our visitors we have some highly esteemed and respected aboriginal Elders, including Desmond Rumble, the current minister of the Anglican Church in Yarrabah, and Mick Connolly (with wife Val) who is the former Principal of the Wontulp Bi Buya Aboriginal Bible College which trains Indigenous leaders throughout all of North Queensland. We also have Pam Mundraby who is the sole Sunday School teacher in Yarrabah and her young nephew Barney who is quite a dancer. Merton Bulmer is a gifted teacher and David Mundraby is also a dancer.
We really look forward to their time with us and I encourage you to speak to your children during the week to find out what they have learned. I also encourage you to come along to the special Parent Evening.
