Dear TLS Campus Community,

As the school year draws to a close, I take the opportunity to thank every family for their support throughout the year. We are very proud of our school and we are especially proud of the children; as you should also be. If not for the support, coopera-tion and teamwork between home and school, our school would not be nearly as rich; so thank you, the families for your contributions to what has been a momentous year at the TLS Campus.

Year Six and Seven Students I take the opportunity to wish our graduating year six and seven students God’s richest blessings as you leave our campus. Thank you for your wonderful contributions to our school over the years. We have been proud of the attitude and leadership displayed by our year six and seven students this year. I look forward to celebrating with you at Thursday’s Graduation Service. This will be a memorable occasion for the Tanunda Lutheran School Campus as we farewell year 7 students for the final time and it will be our first group of year 6 students to leave as they graduate to middle school.

Inspiring excellence with Christ at the heart.

Luke 2:11

Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you: He is the Messiah,

the Lord.

Leaving Families An inevitability of coming to the end of the year is that we need to farewell departing school families. To all families who are finishing up their time at the TLS Campus, we thank you for your support over the journey and trust you will leave with fond memories about your time at our wonderful school. New Families We will also welcome many new families to our school community in 2019. I trust that our new families will find the TLS Campus to be a warm and welcoming community and that their time with us will be a blessing to both them and the school community. Leaving Staff The end of the year also marks the occasion where we say farewell to leaving staff. Thank you to Jenny Noll, Joy Graetz, Rex Arnold, Su Arnold, Marie Hage, Craig Lieschke, Danette Mifflin, Linda Fiebiger, Tanya Leech and Tania Schutz. Your contributions to our school have been cherished and valued. Merry Christmas Finally, on behalf of everyone here at the TLS Campus, I wish all of our families a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. I also take the opportunity to thank our wonderful staff for their dedication and effort throughout another school year. I am grateful for everything that they do for the children and wish them all a relaxing, well-earned break. Further important TLS Campus information can be sourced from ‘Darren’s Digest’ which will be sent out to all families in the coming days.

Until next year, God bless. Darren

My mobile number is: 0413 453766.

God Bless, Matthew Halman.

A photo opportunity presented itself during the week, as our diligent cleaners set to work to thoroughly clean our school in

preparation for the holidays.

Farewell to our cleaners Su and Joy - long term dedicated servants to our school community. Thank you and God’s

Keep in your prayers… As Christmas and the holiday period approaches, we ask you to pray for all families and staff to have a safe and peaceful festive season. We pray for continued blessings for all those who are leaving us this year.
