Newsletter Term 2, Week 3
For our Bible Study this term, the staff
are pondering the big question “What‟s
my purpose?” We watched a video
clip of a range of people giving their
answer to this question, and their
answers were fascinating, ranging from
having fun or making money to raising
the next generation well and helping
others.
As I reflect on my life, I can see God at
work fulfilling his purpose in me. Despite
only ever wanting to be a teacher, I did
not view myself as academic enough
due to my dyslexia, and left school as
soon as I turned 16 for a job in a
pharmacy. God had other plans for
me, and within a few years I completed
my Year 11 and 12 through adult
education, and went on to complete my
teaching degree whilst continuing to
work part time.
Upon graduation, I was one of the few
in my year to be offered a fulltime
position in an Education Department
school, which I was thrilled about.
However God niggled at me and
niggled at me about my purpose, and
kept putting Christian education before
me. In late November of my
graduating year I applied for a job in a
Lutheran school, against my better
judgement, and with no clear idea why.
I was selected for an interview, but told
the school I could only be interviewed
two days before Christmas as I was
going on a holiday to Darwin, a fairly
cheeky stance to take for a graduate! They
said they would hold the position open until
then. I went for the interview and was
offered the position. I then had to choose
between the two positions. Once again
God gave me no rest, until at last I
accepted the position in the Lutheran
school. And finally I felt at peace!
I have worked in Lutheran schools ever
since, over a period of around 25 years,
and feel God‟s purpose for me as strongly
as ever.
God‟s Son came with a clear purpose.
Roman‟s 14:9 tells us,
“Christ died and rose again for this very purpose – to be the Lord both of the living and the dead.”
When we live in accordance with God‟s
purpose for us, what joy it brings!
What is your purpose? And what purpose
does God have for you?
God bless your week,
Kathryn

The cancelled Barossa Airshow may be behind us, but the Committee has been continuing to work behind the scenes to
see if we can reschedule the 2011 Airshow. Whilst there are some logistical problems to overcome in order for this to
happen, we have been inundated with enquiries about a new date. The Airshow Committee, School Council and I remain
committed to the Airshow and the opportunities it brings our school and students– wouldn‟t it be great if we could finish off
the year with the 2011 Airshow successfully completed! We‟ll keep you posted! St Jakobi students may get their new
playground yet!

Bereavements in our Community
It is with sadness that we heard of the passing of former

Arnold, grand-daughter of Su Arnold and sister of Angie,
Wesben and Jelisha Arnold, all who have been a large
part of the fabric in our school community. Abigail is also
niece and cousin to the Arnold family who are currently at
St Jakobi. On behalf of the St Jakobi community, we extend
our heartfelt condolences to the Arnold family and friends,
and mourn the loss of this special young woman with you.
We also mourn with both Joanna Juers and her family, and
Anthea Verrall and her family on the loss of their
Grandmothers. May the wonderful memories you have
bring you comfort at this time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
At the end of Term 1, we had two presenters from Camp Quality
come to visit our school as we were planning to raise money for
them through the Airshow. The presenters introduced us to some
puppets. One of the puppets had been in hospital for a long time to
get treatment for cancer. The other puppet, and us, learnt lots about
cancer and people with cancer. We can‟t catch cancer like a cold
and people with cancer like us to talk and play with them as
friends.

Airshow THANK YOU
Firstly, THANK YOU to all the parents who gave up their time and made special treats for our stall – either at home or at
the P&F baking day. The support from families was overwhelming!
All those beautifully packaged biscuits, lollies, slices and cakes were too good to waste. So, during the first week of this
term we organised 3 food stalls around the community.
From these stalls we raised $578.00. All the money raised from these stalls is going straight back into classroom resources
–Yip pee
BIG THANK YOU‟s must go to;
Sheree Hoffman and Barb Kilpatrick for organising the school baking day.
All the parents who baked goodies, helped out on the baking day or donated ingredients. There are just too many
of you to mention.
Michelle Graetz, Trudy Hodgson, Jo Herrmann, Sue Jericho, Kaylene Jaensch, Ali Hoopmann, Vicki Farrugia,
Mel Menadue, Angela Sosnowski, Naomi Duggan and Fi Jones, who came to my aid and helped out on the 3
community stalls.
Thanks again,

3/4/5 Urban Camp
The year 3/4/5 Urban Camp had a focus on
our Integrated Studies unit into „Behind the
Scenes‟ and was from Wednesday 4th to Friday
6th May. We stayed at Warradale Urban
Camp school and visited the Adelaide Festival
Centre, Patricia Picinini exhibition at the Art
Gallery, Adelaide Oval, Channel 7, Ice Arena,
St Kilda Playground and the Aquadome.
Miss Koop (Year 5)
Talia & Elysha – We think camp was restless, tiring, fun, ecstatic, enjoyable, cold and fun
Yaz & Ike – Camp was extremely fun and just a little bit annoying. It was awesome!
Jayden – On camp I loved Patricia Picinini’s artwork. It was really cool.
Laura – Camp was fun, exciting, challenging, great, cool, awesome and fabulous!
April, Lauren & Hayley – We found camp extremely fun. We mostly
enjoyed ice skating and the Channel 7 studio.
Josh – I think Ice Skating was the best thing I did because I was falling over all the time.
Visit by Minister for Road Safety
Last week Mr Tom Kenyon MP visited St Jakobi
for a first hand look at the traffic and speed
situation. He was able to time his visit to
coincide with after school pick-up, and was
able to view for himself the congestion and
safety issues that we face. Whilst he was
unwilling/unable to give any firm indication of
what his recommendation will be, he did
indicate a drop in speed on school days would
be a simple remedy to the situation. We await
to hear the decision. In the meantime, if you
would like to add weight to his considerations, I
encourage you to phone (Ph: 8264 4482) or
email [email protected] thank Mr Kenyon
for dropping in to view the situation first hand.

Transportable Classrooms
The new building continues to be a blessing to us, with the
extra space a wonderful asset, and the clear, light, pleasant
environment a joy to work in. It has really brought into
sharp contrast however the two transportables in the centre
of the school, and the unappealing and potentially unsafe
conditions they are in. It is planned that these buildings will
be physically removed as soon as feasible. It has been
decided though, that only the transportable building in
better condition, the old computer/library, will remain in
use at present. This will be converted to a specialist
teaching area, with the uniform room housed in one end.
The other transportable building will be put into permanent
retirement! These buildings have served the school
extremely well in the past, but our commitment to a safe and
pleasant working environment for students and staff remains
paramount.
Can you HELP?
St Jakobi has once again been amazing in Term 1 by
providing meals that can be given to school families
in times of need. A big thank you to everyone for
enabling this wonderful service to occur, particularly
Years 3/4 and 6/7A who were rostered on to
provide meals last term. It is wonderful that we are
able to reach out and support each other in our
community. We are in need of some more meals to
replenish our freezer however. This term R/1 (Mrs
Schultz) and 1/2 (Miss Berzins) are rostered on, but
anyone can help at any time by donating a meal. If
you would like some ideas, there is a recipe book
available in the front office – just ask Anna or
Amanda if you can borrow a copy.
LLL Banking
A friendly reminder for students to be participating in the
LLL Student Banking. These accounts currently earn you
4.75% interest per annum (which is calculated on daily
balances and credited annually on May 31st). A perfect
time to be depositing the hard earned pocket money!

SELLING OF BAKED ITEMS AT NURIOOTPA AND TANUNDA THANK YOU so much to the P & F committee members and the parents, friends and teachers of St Jakobi who set up and sold baked items that were left over from the Air Show at trade stalls at Nuriootpa and Tanunda on Wednesday 4 May and Friday 6 May 2011. I think the word is out that we have fantastic bakers/cooks within our school/church community and people flocked to buy the delicious products. Thank you again to all the parents, grandparents and friends who baked such wonderful items for the Air Show. They certainly didn’t go to waste!!!! The profits from the trade stalls will go directly towards resources for our children. LYNDOCH LUTHERAN WOMENS FELLOWSHIP is holding its Annual Morning Tea on 1 June 2011 at 9:30am at St John Church Hall, Margaret Street, Lyndoch. All parents and friends of St Jakobi are invited to attend for a $5.00 donation on admission. Guest speaker for the morning will be Jenny Pfitzner from Australian Lutheran World Service. Please RSVP to Mrs Pat Eichler on 8524 4827 ASAP. All proceeds go towards ALWS. REQUEST FOR CATERING SUNDAY 12 JUNE 2011 We have been asked if the parents and friends of St Jakobi would be interested in catering for Ann Wilksch’s 60
th birthday party at
Bethany Reserve on Sunday 12 June 2011 (Sunday of long weekend). She requires us there from about 12noon to 4:30pm. Ann will have the food prepared and she would like four helpers to serve a hot lunch and afternoon tea. Ann is willing to pay $150 which is negotiable for our efforts. Jo Herrmann will be one of the helpers so we will require three more. Please let me know via email [email protected] or 0419 853 846 if you are available to help so that we can advise Ann if we can go ahead.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the P & F’s fundraising – without this support we couldn’t raise much needed funds for our children. Kind regards and blessings
