Let us pray: 
Dear Lord, 
We thank You for the gift of creativity and the joy of performance. Bless our students as they take the stage—fill them with confidence, calm their nerves, and help them shine with the talents You’ve given them. May their teamwork, dedication, and courage inspire all who watch. Keep them safe, joyful, and proud of their journey. Let this musical be a celebration of friendship, imagination, and the beauty of working together. 
Guide their steps, their voices, and their hearts. 
Amen. 

What's Happening? 
What a very busy time it is for St Lawrence's at the moment. Congratulations to all students involved in last week's Athletics Carnival. It was 3 days of excitement and everyone giving it a go. This week we move on to Book Week. Even though we decided not to have a book parade, our students were still able to show a love of books by dressing up as their favourite book character and numerous other activities throughout the week.  

Excitement is building around the school as we have only 1 week to go until our school production of The Wizard of Oz - Youth Edition hits the stage at the Queens Park Theatre on Saturday 30 August. You will see many promos coming out on social media over the coming days. Tickets are selling extremely fast, so don’t miss out. For ticket sales, the link can be found below. 

Happy Days
