Volume 13, Issue 1 Friday, February 9, 2018 Dear School Family, Welcome to 2018 and a very special welcome to all the new families that are joining us this year.

It has been an exciting

start to the year, with

many events already

taking place. Our

Swimming Carnival was

held in Week 1 with a

fantastic community atmosphere. Many thanks to

the Parents and Friends for providing the BBQ

for students on the day.

Our Year 7 Meet the Care Group Teacher

evening was also held in Week 1, which was a

great opportunity for parents to connect with

Care Group teachers and other families. An

opportunity to meet with Care Group teachers of

Year 8 to 12 students is coming up in Week 4

(Tuesday February 20).

Term 1 is very busy in the life of the School. This

week, students in Years 8 and 10 have been

away on their respective camps. Highlights from

the camps will be included in the next newsletter.

Open Evening is always a wonderful celebration

of our school, and I encourage you to save the

date, Thursday March 22.

Starting a new school year can be very daunting,

especially for students who are new to the

School. However, it can also be exciting to start

the year afresh with renewed enthusiasm and

motivation. Students are encouraged to start the

year off being well-organised and making a study

schedule to keep up with the demands of high

school, especially for our senior students. Start

assignments early to avoid stress later in the

term, when work might be due for a number of

subjects.

Congratulations to Dianne Vo, our Dux for 2017

achieving an ATAR of 97.25. It was a pleasure to

have Dianne come and speak at our Week 2

Chapel to encourage the students in their school

journey. Dianne was able to give some insight

into the strengths and challenges she found

throughout school and especially Year 12.

Dianne will be studying a Bachelor of Health and

Medical Science at the University of Adelaide.

We wish her and all of our graduates the very

best, as they move into this next stage of life. We

don’t always hear about what opportunities our

students were offered at TAFE, or other training

organisations. We’d love to hear from students

who were offered positions in courses that are

not listed in this newsletter.

Message from Mr Rijken: Our term scripture

comes from Romans 5:1-5. “Therefore, since we

have been justified through faith, we have peace

with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through

whom we have gained access by faith into this

grace in which we now stand. And we boast in

the hope of the glory of God.3Not only so, but we

also glory in our sufferings, because we know

that suffering produces perseverance;

4perseverance, character; and character,

hope.5And hope does not put us to shame,

because God’s love has been poured out

into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has

been given to us.”

The high school years go very quickly and I

would really encourage all students to involve

themselves in the many activities that are

happening in the life of the school. Our school

motto is ‘Pursuing excellence for the glory of

God.’ The emphasis is on the pursuing. It is

about trying to do our best in all endeavours.

MERIT CEREMONY GOVERNMENT HOUSE

It was my pleasure to attend the SACE Merit

Ceremony at Government House. Brittany May

achieved a Merit in General Mathematics, which

is an exceptional effort. Mr Rijken and Mr

Hudson also attended the ceremony, and we

were able to join in celebration with three Mile

End students who achieved Merits last year:

Tyler Whittaker achieved a Merit in Physics,

Grace Bleby achieved a Merit in Modern History,

Gerard Brandt achieved a Merit in the Research

Project. Well done to all four students of Temple

Christian College!

Eliza Buckoke

Campus Principal, Temple Christian College

On Friday of Week 1, we took the whole school to the Salisbury Swimming Pool for our annual Interhouse Swimming Carnival. We

were blessed with great weather throughout the day again. It was a great day of fun and competition, including some very creative

costumes and energetic team songs. Each year we seem to get more elaborate and enthusiastic team chants! This year, Mrs

Buckoke had the tough job of deciding the winner of best dressed as well as best team chant for some bonus points.

Throughout the day we had a lot of close races, with many of the age champions only being decided by a couple of points. This

year’s age champions were:

We also saw the following records broken this year:

U14’s Girls Backstroke – Liana Sklenar – 47.32s

U16’s Boys Freestyle – Ethan Crook – 27.36s

U16’s Boys Backstroke – Ethan Crook – 33.22s

U16’s Boys Breastroke – Ethan Crook – 38.49s

West was once again dominant, winning the Swimming Carnival for the fifth year in a row. The points for the day are as follows:

West – 434

North – 307

South – 306

East – 177

Congratulations to all who participated, we had 82 students swimming in at least one race.

MISSIONS

As a school we have always been incredibly proud of the way in which we

have supported, and participated in mission, both locally and on a global

scale. From as close as Baptist Care in the inner city of Adelaide, to as

far as Papua New Guinea and Cambodia, our desire is to introduce our

students to ways in which they can participate with God in expanding his

Kingdom in the world and pursuing justice for those less fortunate than

ourselves.

Each Term we have a different mission focus for our fundraising efforts.

In Term 1, the focus is on PNG and the support of Sunrise Bethel

Christian School in Port Moresby. In Term 2 we shift to Cambodia, where

we support a variety of organisations which work with underprivileged

and/or exploited children. Term 3 is when our students have the

opportunity to support or participate in the World Vision 40 Hour Famine,

and Term 4 has traditionally seen our Care Groups pack gift boxes for

Operation Christmas Child.

I will be speaking with the school community soon about the opportunity

to participate in one of our overseas mission trips in 2018. Our ten day

PNG trip will occur at the beginning of Term 3, and our Cambodia Trip

takes place in the last two weeks of Term 3. These are both remarkable

opportunities to experience a different culture, and to see first-hand how

God is at work in a very different part of the world than our own. They are

also a chance to learn and grow through acts of service, where we

attempt to bring life into difficult situations. The trips are open to students

in Year 10 and 11. For more information or expressions of interest,

please contact me or Mrs Bernadette Scarman at the school.

Communication Procedure

The following is Temple Christian

College’s Communication Proce-

dure. The options available to con-

tact staff are: through your child’s

Student Planner, via email (see list

below), or a phone call to the School

on 8256 9600.

If you have an enquiry regarding a

student issue (e.g. challenges with

socialising, bullying, health, etc.),

please contact your child’s Care

Group Teacher. Most issues can be

resolved by speaking to your child’s

Care Group teacher, who can often

liaise on your behalf with other staff

members.

If you have an enquiry regarding an

issue with a specific Subject (i.e.

what your child is learning, your

child’s progress, learning challeng-

es, teacher-student concerns, your

child’s behaviour in class), please

contact the teacher of that subject.

If you have an enquiry regarding a

behavioural issue and have already

met with the Care Group/Subject

teacher concerned, please contact

Mr Tony Hudson (Assistant Princi-

pal—Student Development ).

If you have an enquiry regarding

learning or curriculum issues and

have already met with the Subject

teacher concerned, please contact

Mr Simon Bradtke (Assistant Princi-

pal—SACE/Curriculum ).

If you have followed the outlined

communication procedure and the

issue is still unresolved, an appoint-

ment can be made with the Campus

Principal, Mrs Eliza Buckoke.

To help you communicate effective-

ly, we have listed all of the teacher’s

email addresses below.

Our goal is to resolve, to the best of

our ability, all challenges that your

child might be facing at school. This

can best be done by following the

communication protocol as outlined

above. Leadership can only pro-

ceed with matters if this procedure

is followed.

Crossing at the Emu Crossing

Students, please remember it is important when crossing at the Emu crossing, that you wait

until the cars have stopped, and the students holding the lollipops give the go ahead to move.

Students have been moving as soon as the lollipops sign is held up, but they must wait until the

monitors say it is clear to do so.

Congratulations to Year 9 stu-

dent Annika Simmonnette, for

receiving an Accomplishment

Award for her entry in The Smith

Family Writing competition for

Year 7 - 11s.

The topic was ‘A World of Your

Own’. Annika has a flair for Nar-

rative writing including a strong

use of imagery, which allows the

reader to visually imagine the

story.

Well done Annika!!!

Order forms will be sent home with students shortly. Students are to bring

pher when they are having their photo taken. Please do not send the or-

der form back with your student to give to their teacher or hand in at the

Online payments You can now pay your tuition fees and other school related payments securely on our school’s website. Go to http://www.tcc.sa.edu.au/, select your campus, then select the Online Payment Icon and follow the prompts.

Please note that you will need your family code (located on your fee statement) to use this service.

This is a reminder that the school has chosen to become a "Nut Aware" school.

This awareness has been implemented because there is an increased number of students at our school who have

severe peanut/nut allergies. These students cannot be exposed to nuts in ANY form,

as this will trigger an anaphylactic reaction - that is a reaction requiring an immediate

injection of adrenalin, ambulance attendance and hospitalization.

This has very serious consequences for our students and in their best interests, we

ask that care is taken with all peanut/nuts and food containing nuts within the school.

The Canteen/Home Ec. has also undertaken the change. The school acknowledges

that due to food processing practices, it is impractical to eliminate nuts or nut products

entirely from an environment where there is food. Thus "Nut Aware" School.

NUT AWARENESS

PARENTS AND FRIENDS As parents, a vibrant school community is important to us. Being

involved in the Parents and Friends group not only gives us the

opportunity to be actively engaged in supporting events and initiatives,

but provides a wonderful avenue through which to get to know and work

alongside other parents. Together we make a difference in the life of the

school.

If you would like to join us, an invitation is extended to all interested

parents and friends to join us at any of the Parents and Friends meetings

held through the year.

If you have any questions, agenda items or suggestions for the Parents

& Friends,

please email Susanna Fanto - susanna.fanto@tcc.sa.edu.au

Our next meeting - Wednesday February 21 @ 7pm (Staff Room)

Fee Statements were emailed and posted to all families at the end of January.

Please contact us if you have not received your Statement.

Instalment 1 fees will be due by Friday, 9 February (unless you have an agreed payment plan in place with us)

We appreciate your commitment to having fees paid on time.

If you do not have a payment plan but wish to set one up, please contact the Finance Office on 8256 9631.
