Psalm 46 v 10 “step out of the traffic! Take a long loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything” (MSG version)

A walk in a local forest recently… Such a place of incredible beauty, peace…. and stillness! Despite the craziness and noise in front of us, in the shape of my 10yr old son and his friend, the tranquillity of the setting was actually ‘loud’ enough, to mask any noise that they were making and we genuinely couldn’t hear anything from them. The beauty of the birdsong, the sound of the trees, the distant sound of the waves , and the visual beauty that we were enjoying were all more prominent.
I was reminded…very simply, that when we deliberately stop, to be in awe of the beauty that is in His stillness, and in His presence, the surrounding ‘noise’ (busy-ness, worries, concerns etc) lessen and fade.

ASSESSMENT TIME!!
Yes, this part of semester starts to get really busy with assessment deadlines. If you are struggling with those, please feel free to talk with our student support team (Neroli, Tanya, Jordyn, Siong, Carol, Liz) and they can often help you come up with a plan to ensure you hit those key due dates.
If there are legitimate factors that require a extension, they can also help clarify the process around apply for an assessment extension. You don’t have to do this alone!
By now you should all be familiar with the helpful tips in the 10 Essentials on CareyOnline.
Also remember that the Peer Writing Team are available to help you draft and craft your assessments – book a session by contacting the library team.
