Volume 14, Issue 16 Friday, October 25, 2019 Dear School Family, Welcome to Term 4

and especially to our

new families who will

be joining us next

year and will now be

receiving the

fortnightly newsletter.

I trust the holiday break was a relaxing

and refreshing break and for our Year 12

students that it was a very productive

time.

Our Year 12 students finish their formal

lessons this week. The last Friday is a

special day as we have a breakfast for all

the Year 12 students and their families.

Many thanks to Miss Annie Mott and the

staff helpers, as well as 2020 elected

Prefects who come and serve the

outgoing class of 2019. The breakfast is

followed by the Year 12 Final Assembly

which is a wonderful time of celebration. It

is filled with laughter and also some tears

as we realise their time with us is coming

to an end. Year 12s who have completed

all of their work will then enjoy a final

excursion to Flip Out. We are so thankful

for Mrs Wolf and Mr Jeffree, our Year 11

and 12 Coordinators, for the effort they

put in to planning a number of Year 12

events, particularly this week and the

upcoming Formal!

The Year 12 students will have a week of

study leave before their externally set

written SACE Examinations begin. The

examinations are spread over 3 weeks.

Not all Year 12 subjects have external

examinations and as such some of our

students who have completed all

their work will now be finished

until Presentation Night. Please

pray for our Year 12 students

throughout this time that they

remain focused, be able to

complete their work and study

well in preparation for their

examinations. The two final

events for the Year 12 students

will be the Year 12 Formal and

Presentation Night.

As the Year 12s finish it also gives the

Year 11s the opportunity to step up and

be the senior students in the life of the

school. It will also be exciting to have the

Year 11s lead us in Chapels for the

remainder of the year.

At the start of the holiday break it was

great to be able to welcome home the

team that were on the Missions Trip in

Cambodia. I always have a great sense of

relief when all our students are safely

back.

A reminder that our final night for the year

is Presentation Night on Monday, 9

December. This is the highlight in the life

of the school and it is an expectation that

all students attend. It is held in the week

after the middle school examinations. New

families joining us in 2020 are also very

welcome to join us for our Presentation

Night.

I find this time of year quite exciting as we

look towards 2020 and all it will bring. It

can be sad when we hear of staff who are

planning to move on, but we are so proud

of Mr Daniel Nowak, our Assistant

Principal Human Resources, who has won

a position at Influencers Church in Atlanta,

USA. Daniel will be taking on the role of

Director of Training and Education for

Church Health and Director of Influencers

College. We pray God’s blessing on

Daniel, his wife Natalie and their four

children as they prepare for this new

chapter.

Please continue to pray for our school

community, staffing plans for 2020 and

the East Building extension project, due

for completion by Term 2 of next year. We

also have some renovations planned for

the current Student Learning Hub and

adjoining classrooms, in order to afford us

more flexibility in the way we use our

facilities.

AN EVENING AT THE OSCARS 2019 On Thursday 26th September, we launched our inaugural, ‘An Evening At the Oscars’. This will be an annual event cele-

brating achievements in the Performing Arts. We celebrated the evening with a live feed to screens using a cameraman, a

paparazzi photographer, performances from the Year 11 band, Theatre Connections, and food from the Food and Hospi-

tality team. The evening was led by an MC (Master of Ceremonies), and we had a guest artist who performed and handed

out the awards.

Parents and friends joined the invited nominees, as we celebrated with awards for Best Actor, Best Script-writer, Best

Composer, Best Film Score, Best Documentary, Overall Film Composer’s Award, Best Songwriter’s Award, and Most Ac-

complished Musician. We also launched our Actors and Musicians Guild. Life-time entry into the Guild is given to a maxi-

mum of 2 students per year who have consistently demonstrated commitment to the most co-curricular performing arts

activities, and other performances as they arise.

It was a wonderful evening celebrating our talented students and

honouring them and their creativity. I think the photographs speak

for themselves!

Please see our Facebook page for more photos from the night.

Earn and Learn Rewards

Our school community once again participated in the Woolworth’s Earn and Learn program this year and our rewards have

arrived! Thank you to all the families that donated stickers to the school, it was very exciting unpacking our delivery.

Through your contributions, we have added good quality headphones to our Listening Wall in the Learning Hub. Students

are able to access curated podcasts and audio books to enhance their learning. We have also replenished our supply of

games which are always popular each lunch time, and have received a wide range of stationery. Some of this we will be

donating to charity, while the rest will be loaned out to students for projects and class work. Thank you to Woolworths and

Modern Teaching Aids for running the program for schools. Mrs Halford.

Cambodia Trip 2019 It was a privilege taking a group of 21 year 10 and 11 students on the annual Cambodia Missions trip.

“So what do you actually do when you are in Cambodia?” is a question that I am often asked. The answer is one of taking

a group of comparatively rich and privileged students from Adelaide, and giving them an eye-opening cultural immersion in

a place where poverty and injustice is common and brutal. In doing this we spend time with many wonderful organizations

and people that have seen the plight of the poor and vulnerable and are working to bring hope and life to them. Our team

embraced the experience whole-heartedly and really were a wonderful group to travel with.

We spent time serving and volunteering wherever we could within the various schools and education centres that we

visited, but inevitably we all learned and gained so much more from the kids and people we worked with, than we could

ever give.

As a group we also spent time thinking and praying how God views injustice and inequality in his creation, and how our

faith compels us to do our part in making the world more how God intended it to be.

Thanks goes to the Temple Community for supporting the trip so generously, as we were able to provide resources and

donate quite large amounts of fundraising money to very important ministries that are working with poor and vulnerable

kids and communities.

Of course we had a lot of fun as well. Thanks again for your support.
