ST THOMAS THE APOSTLE NEWS

Dear Parents/ Guardians, Christmas truly is one of the most wonderful times of the year. For many, there are warm parties, cosy homes, fond traditions to celebrate, and gifts to be shared. It’s a joyous time of celebration. However, sometimes we get lost in the season and forget the reason we celebrate it, to begin with. Among the hustle and bustle, Black Friday and Cyber Monday bargains to be had we sometimes loose our focus. For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. Many people don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmas time when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons. Turkey dinners may be only a wish and not a reality for some. It is a time of God showing his great love for us. Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of Jesus. God sent his son Jesus into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world. It’s the time of year that reminds us most urgently of the need to give to those who have less. It is important to think of others during this time and in particular former student Christopher Ogbechie who passed away from cancer on November 7th. As a mark of respect, the whole school completed a guard of honour as Christopher said goodbye to the school one last time on Friday 6 December. It was a very

emotional and poignant moment for the school community as we gave Christopher and his family the goodbye he deserved. During the last few weeks our charity work has been more evident than ever here at STAC, ranging from making over 150 hampers for the local community, raising money for worthy causes, providing a Christmas lunch for our Year 7 & 8 grandparents and our elderly neighbours, to singing in the local community. So as we move into the next 2020’s we wish everyone in our STAC community a happy, safe and restful Christmas period and look forward to seeing everyone again in the New Year.

Heavenly Father,

we celebrate the birth of Your Son, Jesus, remembering the words of

the angels on the night of His birth, “Peace on earth to all of good will.”

Today, as never before, Almighty God,

we pray for Your loving peace. May peace be the guiding force in the

hearts of our world leaders. May peace reign in every corner of the globe and

in the hearts of every man, woman and child upon this earth.

This Christmas and always, may we embrace Your wonderful gifts with

courage and conviction. In so doing, we will also be embracing Your greatest gift to us, Your Son, the Prince of Peace!

Amen

We are delighted to share the success of our Year 13 students who have set new STAC records for excellence. For the first time in our school’s history, we have seven students who secured interviews for Uni-

versity of Oxford and University of Cambridge.

We

have also had great success for our budding medics and dentists with three students securing inter-views in these competitive fields:

The Year 13 Psychology students visited The Freud Museum in Hampstead. This trip complemented the psychodynamic element of their A Level course. Freud’s museum was the home of Freud and contains Freud’s collections and research resources. We explored the resources of the museum, experience Freud’s Study, and discussed Freud’s life and work. Miss A. Afolayan Head of Psychology

It was an important experience as it changed our perceptions about Freud’s unusual theories. It helped us understand the true meaning behind his theories as we gathered more empathy for his reasons behind his research. It was a unique experience entering the very house in which the very influential psychologist spent the last year of his life in and seeing the exact bed in which he died on. Going on this trip brought a deeper understanding and greater context into what we learn in the textbook, really experiencing it and understanding and seeing his life. We also learnt about another key player who isn’t spoken about in our specification which is his daughter who also played a key role in the development of Freud’s theories. We are extremely grateful to our teacher for giving us the opportunity to go on a trip like this which was not only a fun experience but one that is beneficial to our education. Zoe Ukuejubola and Samira Begum Yr 13 Students

The students performed a scripted devised drama at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts on Thursday 5th December in front of an audience of friends, family, peers and Mountview teaching staff. The showcase was the culmination of a 10 week acting training course the students had undertaken under the direction of drama practitioner and playwright Rhoda Amma Arthur. STAC students shared their work with students from Harris Peckham and Sacred Heart who also participated in the project. Mr R. Anderson Head of Drama

On Friday 6th November, the Gospel Choir and Big Band embarked on their second overseas tour. Following an early start, we travelled through the day, reaching the Dutch capital in the evening for dinner and relaxation before beginning an action packed programme of activities and performances. The main performance was a concert given to a full house at Amsterdam’s Oosterkerk. The audience was treated to a programme of Christmas music and both ensembles sounded excellent in the church’s beautiful acoustic. We also spent time exploring the Museum district of Amsterdam, and visiting the A’dam Tower. At the A’dam Tower, we collaborated with a music school and performed on the rooftop, before the most brave amongst the group had a ride on Europe’s tallest swings which swing out over Amsterdam at a height of 100 metres! The boys should be congratulated for their enthusiasm and excellence on the trip – it was a pleasure!

The day after returning from tour, a group of carol singers from Year 8 and Year 10 visited PWC offices at More London to sing in their atrium. We were also treated to a short tour of their eighth floor - whilst it wasn't quite as high as the tower in Amsterdam, there were fantastic views of the River Thames and Tower Bridge! Well done to the boys who represented the school once more and again helped the fundraising efforts of the Expressive Arts faculty.

On our final Wednesday morning of the term, the gospel choir and big band performed once more – this time nice and close to home at Queen’s Road Peckham station. Passers-by enjoyed hearing our renditions of Christmas songs and carols, and donated in aid of the ongoing work of the music department. Mr S. Parratt Head of Expressive Arts

On Monday 16th December, we gathered once again in our school chapel to celebrate the Christmas sea-son with a carol service. Families and staff were treated to readings, congregational carols and some outstanding performances. As well as the gospel choir singing with their usual passion and energy and upbeat performances from the big band, a highlight was a duet between Nana Kissi Frimpong and Emmanuel Arhagba – they performed to a standard that was inspiring for all to listen to. Well done and thank you to all the readers and soloists, and thank you to the families, staff and governors who came to celebrate this special time of year with us. Mr S. Parratt Head of Expressive Arts

It was honestly such a great experience. I would like to thank all the Teachers for donating to make such a dream possible. I would never have thought I’d be granted such an opportunity at the tender age of 16. The last year since I’ve joined Kinetika Bloco I’ve tried to just get stuck, play and enjoy my craft. But this trip just encapsulates that I can really go far with this; you all seem to think so too otherwise you wouldn’t have as much faith as to allow me to go. It’s nice to know teacher’s that have known you for 5 years, some less, understand the opportunities that you have been given, So Thank You to you all Teachers, Hopefully I can do an assembly going into more depth God Bless,

After weeks of competition from the other Year 9 classes (and a personal challenge from Ms Khan to beat Mr Lemaire, Ms Asirelli and Mr Fletcher's class!), all students achieved a huge number of points this week- each student got over 1000 points each to come together and get a grand total of 107,447 points overall! This is a phenomenal achievement and as a result, 9X1 have finally knocked the other classes off the top spot. They are Number 1 internationally on This is Language! Well done boys and keep it up!

Dear Parents/Guardians, Can I take this opportunity to remind you that the boys top coats for winter weather are expected to be both plain and dark coloured. Please ensure that my coats bought for the new term meet with this expectation. I am also concerned by the number of boys whose trousers are ill fitting and in need of a belt, again, please ensure your son’s trousers fit appropriately, do not expose under garments and look as smart as that which would be fit a pupil of our school. Many thanks, Mr C. Smart Deputy Headteacher

Wow! Over the past three years I have had the privilege of overseeing the charity life of the school. One of the highlights each year is our hamper appeal which traditionally starts at the beginning of Advent. Last year our pupils brought in enough items for us to make 85 hampers. This year’s efforts by our pupils however, was truly humbling. In the lead up to Advent, staff and pupils had been giving up their free time to wrap and prepare over 70 boxes in preparation for Monday 9th December, when pupils would bring together all of their hamper donations and fill these boxes ready to be distributed to families in our neighbouring parishes. I truly underestimated the enormous hearts and generosity of our pupils and their families. By the end of Monday 9th, pupils had filled and prepared over 70 boxes and yet we had enough contributions for a further 70! An appeal to the school community went out and with more help on the Tuesday, our pupils had wrapped, filled and sealed over 170 hampers! Over the next week, staff and pupils will be delivering these hampers to many of our neighbouring parish churches and also to the Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers. Whilst I am immensely proud of such a huge effort by our pupils and their families, it is with mixed emotions that I write this article. The sad truth is that each one of these hampers will reach families in our wider community that are struggling and in need. We seem to live in an age where selfish pursuits and desires are encouraged, where what matters is how much you as an individual can gain. Our pupils and families this Advent have bucked this trend and shown that life is about so much more. Such sentiment was echoed by Pope Francis on the 1st December in his first mass of the liturgical year. He said, “Resist the dazzling lights of consumption, which will shine everywhere this month, and believe that prayer and charity are not lost time, but the greatest treasures. Consumerism is a virus that affects the faith at its root because it makes you believe that life depends only on what you have, and so you forget about God. The meaning of life is not to accumulate. When you live for things, things are never enough, greed grows and others become obstacles in the race and so you end up feeling threatened and always dissatisfied and angry…’I want more, I want more, I want more’. One has many goods, but no good is done.” Over the following pages are a selection of photos that go some way to highlight the good that was done this Advent by our pupils and their families. I hope that you all have a happy and holy Christmas Mr A. Vaughan Chaplaincy Team

On Tuesday 17 December, we had our annual Christmas Lunch for the elderly members of our local community and grandparents of our Yr 7 and 8 pupils. Along with enjoying our excellent food, our guests were also treated to an intimate and brilliantly executed gospel choir performance and musical recitals, all whilst enjoying a hot drink and mince pies. They also received a small gift to take away with them! We hope they enjoyed our hospitality and also the talents of our pupils! Thank you to all the staff and pupils who ensured it was a huge success. A happy and holy Christmas to you all. Mr B. Tynan Assistant Headteacher

The year 7 athletics team didn’t get off to a great start in their indoor sports hall tournament which ran over 3 weeks. The first week saw our boys work really hard but unfortunately dropped the bat in 1 of the relay races bringing the school to 3rd position at the end of the days tournament out of 8 schools. The following week they were disqualified from one race due to an out of area change over and bat dropped twice however the team spirit of the boys did not die down one bit. With emotions running high and the boys wanting to keep pushing they did really well to hold onto 3rd place on the 2nd week. Week 3 was a story of true character as the team managed to get the most points on the day which remarkably brought them to 2nd place overall. They now know they have what it takes and are itching to come back next year. Look out for the following boys and congratulate them on the achievement and drive and not giving up.
