Volume 14, Issue 4 Friday, March 22, 2019 Dear School Family, This week we held
our annual Open
Evening, which was
a fantastic
celebration of our
school community.
Teachers and
students worked very hard to put on fun
and interesting displays. Special mention
to Miss Mott and the Catering Team, as
well as the Performing Arts students and
staff who provided entertainment
throughout the evening. It is always great
to see many old scholars come and visit
on the night, as well as families and
prospective students.
Term 1 is a long term, with many events
and activities. With three weeks to go,
there are a number of excursions still to
happen, SACSA and SSSA Athletics, a
Year 7 Sleep-Out, and Parent-Teacher
Interviews. As teachers work on finalising
Term 1 results, please encourage your
children to still put in their best effort over
the coming weeks. Assessment tasks
completed after the results due date are
usually counting towards the Term 2
Semester report. If you have any concerns
about your child’s progress you are
welcome to contact teachers at any time,
however we would encourage you to keep
the evening of Tuesday 9th April free for
interviews.
Our Parents and Friends Committee is
looking for new members. Lisa Kelly has
just been appointed as the new
Chairperson, with Cheryl Lockyer as
Deputy Chairperson. Please feel welcome
to join or just come along to a meeting
when you get the chance. Our next
meeting is on Wednesday, 15th May 2019
at 7pm. Parents and Friends meetings are
a great opportunity to enjoy a relaxed
atmosphere with other parents where you
can give feedback and help make the
school a better place.
From Mr Marcel Rijken, Principal:
The term has gone very quickly with staff
busily finishing assessments and writing
reports for all the students. Our school
motto ‘Pursing excellence for the glory of
God’ reminds us that it is the pursuit of
excellence, not necessarily always being
able to achieve excellence, that brings
glory to God. Not all of us will be able to
achieve excellence, but we can all give of
our very best in all situations.
In recognising the importance of the
pursuit of excellence, one of the most
important awards that students can
receive is the Certificate of Merit for
Excellence in Attitude. In each subject, a
student is able to achieve an Attitude
Merit by having an above satisfactory
attitude and making sure there are no
concerns in the areas of behaviour,
submission of work and work effort. If they
are able to achieve an Attitude Merit in
every subject, they will receive the
Certificate of Merit Excellence in Attitude.
This award is achievable by all students,
as it recognises hard work, perseverance
and trying your best in each of the
subjects. At times students come very
close and miss out in just one subject. In
recognition of their hard work they receive
an Attitude Endeavour Award. Awards
are also given for academic achievement.
In each subject students receive a result
out of 100. The Grade Point Average
(GPA) for students is then calculated by
adding the results of each subject studied
and dividing by the number of subjects
studied. If a student scores between 80-
85 they receive a Credit. If students score
between 85-90 they receive a Distinction,
for 90-95 they receive a High Distinction
and for 95 and above they receive a High
Distinction with Honours. Students need
to work hard in every subject as they all
contribute to the GPA. Students will
receive these awards at a Presentation
Assembly at the start of next term.

The 2019 Inter House Athletics Carnival was held on Wednesday, 6th March, at SA Athletics Stadium. It was a beautifully
cool day and even rained shortly in the afternoon but that didn’t deter from the day! This was the first year we welcomed
Temple Marion to come participate alongside Mile End and consequently was the largest Athletics carnival we have held.
We also had a record level of attendance this year with 91% of students from our campus being at the event. Students
were able to showcase their skills throughout the Track and Field events running during the day. Our students showed
great involvement with 301 students participating in at least one event. The 800 and 1500m events were run prior to the
carnival in Weeks 5 and 6. As a school, we are amazed each year of the commitment, talent and skill of new and existing
students who represent their house with enthusiasm. I would personally like to thank all house participants, house leaders,
Sports Captains, staff and parents for their contributions to this day. Without a great team effort this year’s Athletics Carni-
val would not have been the success that it was.
The results for the day are as follows:
The following students were age champions:
West 1668
East 977
North 895
South 743
U13 Girls Imogen Perris
U13 Boys Pattana Peou

On Friday of Week 7, the whole school participated in
our annual Inter House Cross Country competition. We
were able to organise the day in conjunction with Betha-
ny Christian School, which meant we could have a con-
sistent course across both schools. This year, all stu-
dents participated in the 3km race. Below are the results
from the day. Well done to all who participated!

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Now that the year is well under way, it’s time to embark on the Premier’s Read-
ing Challenge. Each year at Temple a large number of students record the
reading they do through the year to participate in the challenge. The goal is to
read at least 12 books of an appropriate level by September 6th and these can
include novels, audio books, ebooks and non-fiction.
Participants need to record their reading on the official Record Sheet (available
from the Learning Hub or as an electronic record via Documents in SEQTA).
Successful participants will receive an award at years end, whilst all partici-
pants receive house points even if they don’t reach 12 books. The PRC is a
great opportunity to encourage students to read which develops their literacy
skills as they explore, discover and expand their knowledge. Reading lists
are available on the Learning Hub webpage via SEQTA or on
www.premiersreadingchallenge.sa.edu.au
