What   a   great   way   to   commence   the   term   –   a  service   where   members   of   the   whole   College  community   gathered   together   to   remember   the  servicemen   and   women   who   gave   their   lives   or  

were  handicapped  during  the  war  so  that  we  could  live   peacefully   in   this  great  Country   of  ours.     The  service   was  lead  by   our  Head   Boy   and   Head  Girl,  

Joshua  Klenner  and  Nathania  Widjinarko,  staff  and  other   representaCves   from   the   different   schools  within   the   College   taking   part   in   the   service,  

including   students,   Trindale   Fuller,   Erana   Steven,  Danielle  Gleeson,  Ben  Wallis,  Blake  Weckman,  and  Emily  Olsen.   The   Year  6  Choir   and  representaCves  from   the   Secondary   Choir     sang   beauCfully   “We  

Are   The   World”   with   Levin   Lian   accompanying  them  on  the   piano.      We  were   also    privileged  to  have   two   guest   speakers   bring   to   us   the   ANZAC  

message,   Mr   Harry   Rosielle,reCred   Air-­‐force  Warrant  Officer   and  Mr   Stuart  Holmes,   a   reCred  Reservist.   A   special   touch   to   the   service   was  Mr  

Peter   Hoare   from   the   Gosnells   SalvaCon   Army  who   played   the   Last   Post   and   Rouse   on   the  trumpet.    Mrs  Balding

ANZAC SERVICE

“See You At The Pole was a huge success, I was unsure of how it would turn out but in the end it went really well. It was great to just sit down and pray about current issues, the College and just life in general with a bunch of like minded people. I think an event like that should happen more often and look forward to the future events.”Kezia Wojcik, Chairperson of Worship Committee

“See You At The Pole was a

really uplifting event

that united our senior

school in prayer. And

prayer works!”

Lukas Frank, Chairperson of Worship Committee

“See   You  At  the   Pole   is  a  naConwide  ChrisCan  student  event,  where   students  gather  to  pray  for  their  school.   The   name  comes  from   the  idea  of  meeCng  at  the   school  flag  pole  to  pray,  but   since   that  wasn’t  a   good  locaCon  for   us  we  met  at  the   tree!,  although  we  did  sCll  have   the  flag  raised   in  on  alternaCve  posiCon.  About  20  students  and  teachers  

met  to  pray   for  the  TCC  community  one   lunchCme.  They   prayed  that  ChrisCans  would  stand  out  and  speak  out  for   Jesus,  that  other   students  would  come   to  know   Jesus,   that  teachers  would   be   godly   role   models,   and   that   those   in   posiCons  of   leadership   and  

decision   making   would   be   guided   by   God.   It   was   a   very   encouraging   Cme   for   all  ChrisCans  to  be  united  and  remind  each  other  of  God’s  work  in  our  College.”Mrs  Underwood

Student  of  the  month  for  June

The   Year  9  PD  day,   the   second  for   the   year  was  run  by  members  from  Youth  for  Christ.     The  Auslife  programme  provided  an  opportunity  for  every  student  to  reflect  and  discuss  a  variety  of  topics  on  Goals   and  Values.    The   discussion   groups  were   led  by   young   people   from   YFC   and  

several  Youth  leaders  from  neighbouring  churches  and  ex  College  students.    The  

topics  discussed  and  viewed    were  finding  fulfilment   in  life,  turning  beliefs  into   values,   goal   sekng   and   the   importance   of   a   balanced   life   –  character  and  skill  development.     There   were  many   great  reports  on  

the  day  and  some  excellent  feedback  from  the  leaders.Mrs  Balding

The   Year   9   PD  was   a   really   good   day   giving   us   the   opportunity   of  spending   quality   Cme  with  our   class  mates.   It  was  a   fun  filled   day   with  

many   acCviCes   and   discussions.   There   was   a  quesCon   Cme   giving   us   the   opportunity   of   asking  

relevant   quesCons  on  either   the   acCviCes   or   the   group   work  covered   throughout   the   day.   I   really   enjoyed   the   day   and  wished   we   could   have   more   occasions  like   this  throughout

IS THERE A DOCTOR

IN THE HOUSE?

“Mr.  Willesee   had   created   a   masterpiece...  A   true   work  of   art   that   enabled   TCC’s  performers  to   showcase   their  skills.   As   a   performer,   I   was   very   pleased   with   how   the  

whole   play   turned  out.  Great  choice   of  play  as  well,   might   I  

add.   It   had   humour,   Indian   doctors  and  a   great   storyline,   what  more   could  you  want?   This  play  was  a   great   chance   for  everyone   to  

play   a   role   that  was  slightly  out  of   their   comfort  zone,   taking  on  new  accents  and  personas  to  

be?er  their  performance.    

All   in  all,   ‘Is  there   a   doctor   in   the   house’   was  well   produced,   packed   out   theaters,   and  allowed  

students  to  express  their  ‘dramaCc’  side.”Joshua  Klenner

"The  ProducCon,  Is  there  a  Doctor  in  the  House  was  a  SPECTACULAR  performance!  I  was  so  glad  to  go  and  be  

able   to  watch  this  well  directed  and  acted  play.   It  was  so  amazing   to  watch  and  the  performance   blew  the  crowd  away.  We  have  so  many  talented  students  and  staff  here  at  Thornlie  ChrisCan  College  and  I’m  glad  to  be  able  to  know  them"

“I  really  loved  being  involved  in  the  producCon  as  it  liqed  my  self  confidence  and  I  also  could  work  

with   lovely   people   and   it   was   just   amazing.   It  also  turned  out  to  be  a   ‘sold  out  performance’  so  people  must  of  spread  the  word  around  that  

it   was   fantasCc   and   came   to   watch   it   for  themselves.   I   wish   it   didn’t   have   to   be   my   last  performance  for  Drama.”  Chelsea  Oost

“The   Spell-­‐a-­‐thon  was  one   of  the   highlights  of   English  Week   in  Middle   School.  Many  students  crammed  hard  to  learn  words  that  many  may   not  have   encountered  before  but   that   is   half   the   fun   of   Spell-­‐a-­‐thon.   During   a   very   edge-­‐of-­‐the-­‐seat   Spell-­‐a-­‐thon  championship  final   held   during   the   Middle   School   Assembly   in  Week   5,   a   very   fine  

ensemble   of   spellers  ba?led   it   out.   Despite   having   exhausted   all   50   rounds   of   the  compeCCon,  Elisa  Lian,  Year  8  and  James  Olsen,  Year  7  ,  held  on  to  the  very  end.  A  new  grand  final  was  staged  at  the  next  Middle  School  assembly.  In  a  tension-­‐filled  hall,  Elisa  

walked   away   with   the   Spell-­‐a-­‐thon   championship   of   2011.   CongratulaCons   to   all  parCcipants  and  winners  once   again  for   they   have   made   this  year’s  championship  a  memorable  one.”

“I made it to the final of the spelling competition, I  made it to the 12th round and I came third overall. It was a great experience!”Katie Bilich, Year 9

On  Wednesday,  May  18,  33  of  our  students  competed  in  the  first  of  five  Math  Olympiads  for  2011.    For  some  students   it   was   the   first   Cme   ever   that   they  parCcipated  in  a   compeCCon  of   this  kind,   but  others  

are   doing   it   for   their   third  year.   Ten  Year   6  students  and  another  ten  from  Year   7  took  part   in  the   Junior  Olympiad.  Natalie   Grasso  in  Year  6  and  Chloe   Murray  in  

Year  7  were   the  top  achievers.  In  the  Senior  Olympiad  nine  Year  8  students  and  four  Year  9  students  parCcipated  

and  the  top  achievers  were  Elisa  Lian  and  Aiden  Kwan,  both  from  Year  8.  CongratulaCons  to  all  of  you  for  doing  your  best  and  especially  to  the  4  top  achievers.   On  June   22nd,   students  competed  in  the   second  Olympiad  and  the   top  achievers  for  the   Junior  Division  were   two  Year   7  students:  Chloe  Murray  and  James  Olsen.   They  both  received  a  perfect  score.  CongratulaCons  on  this  outstanding  

achievement.  The  two  top  achievers  in  the  Senior  Olympiad  were  once  again  Elisa  Lian  and  Aiden  Kwan,  from  Year  8.  The  next  Olympiad  will  be  on  Friday,   July  29,   since   our  students  only  return  from  Holidays  on  July  28.  The  Olympiad  will  sCll  be  in  modules  1  and  2,  but  just  not  on  the  Wednesday  as  always.  Remember  to  keep  pracCcing,  because  “PracCce  makes  perfect”.

Also,  Many  students  paid  the  $5.50  registraCon  fees  to  parCcipate   in  this  year’s  Australian  MathemaCcs  CompeCCon.  The   compeCCon  date  is  Thursday,  August  4.  PracCce  papers  can  

be  obtained  from  your  MathemaCcs  teacher.

“I  went  to  AusCn  Computers.  While   I  was  there   I   got  to  build  a  couple   of   computers.   People   were   really   friendly   and   loved   to  play   jokes  on  each  other.   The   sad  thing   was  that   I   didn't   get   to  repair  any  PC’s.”

Stephen  McLeod,  Year  12

“Just  by   doing  Work  Experience   you  don't  only  do  a   job  for  two  

weeks,  but  you  gain  a  whole   lot  of  knowledge  on  the  work  place.  You  gain  workplace   skills  and  it  can  really  help  you  in  the   future  jobs.   It   also   looks  good  to  have   four   different  work   experience  

roles   on  your   Resume  when  you   leave   school.   I   completed  this  learning   experience   at   Carey   BapCst   College   in   the   area   of  Physical  EducaCon.”Josh  Tucker,  Year  12

Wednesday   the   1st   of   July   saw   21   Middle   School   boys  make   their   way   in   some   wet   and  wooly   weather   up   to  Ellenbrook  to  compete   in  the   2011  WACSSA  AFL  Lightning  Carnival.  The  selected  squad  was  made  up  of  Year  7,  8  and  9  

boys  who  had  shown  the   required  skills  necessary  to  play.  While  warming  up,   a   huge   storm  cloud  in  the   distance   indicated  this  was  not  going  to  be   a   day   for  silky   skills,  but  rather  

wet,  messy  football.  

And   indeed  the   rain   came,   during   our   first   game   against   Mundaring.   Aqer   a   slow   start,   the   TCC  boys  began   to  dominate   the   game   and  overcame  the  team  from  the  hills  by  29  points.  Our  second  game  against  a  big-­‐bodied  Ellenbrook  was  a  close  tussle  with  Ellenbrook  leading  by  

less  than  a  goal  with  five  minutes  to  go.  But  two  late  goals  by  Jarred  Shipton  (thanks  to  some  fantasCc  team  play  from  Cameron  Flood)  and  Jai  McCamley  earned  a  hard  fought  9  point  win.   That  meant  that  TCC  ventured  into  a  Middle   School  grand  final  for   the  first  Cme   against   Swan.  And  again  the  rain  poured.  Obviously  Swan  enjoyed  the  puddles  more  as  they  as  they  opened  up  a  handy  lead  early.  A  final  quarter  fight  back  saw  TCC  draw  closer,  but  in  the  end  it  was  not  close  enough  as  Swan  won  by  22  points.  

Captain  Harry   Byrne   led   from   the   front  and  kicked   three   goals   for   the   day  while   swapping  with  Braydon  Beckley  (who  was  also  very   good  except  for  when  there  were  dogs  barking)  between  Half  Back  and  the  Midfield.   Jarred  Shipton  became   the  swingman  for  the   day,   starCng  up  

forward  and  kicking  goals,  and  then  moving  back  in  the  final  to  thwart  the  Swan  advances.  The  midfield  was  well  served  by  Jaycob  Moylan  and  Jai  McCamley,  with  Jai  our  leading  goal-­‐kicker   (4  goals)  and  constantly  pukng  his  head  over  the  ball  no  ma?er  how  many  Cmes  it  nearly  got  knocked  off!  Steve  Lemmer  also  proved  to  be  a  strong  target  up  forward,  kicking  two  crucial  goals  against  Ellenbrook.  CongratulaCons  to  all  of  

the  boys  who  pulled  on  the   jumper  to  represent  TCC  for  the  day  –  you  did  the  College   proud!  Also  a  huge  thank  you  to  Mrs  Barnes  for  taking  photos  for  the  day  and  assisCng  the  coach  with  whatever  was  needed  and  to  Connor  Marshall  and  Josiah  Laloh  for  their  help  umpiring.Mr  Eikelboom

YEAR 12 HOSPITALITYMULTICULTURAL DINNER“For  the  Year  12  Food  Science   class,  we  had  an  assessment  which  required  us  to  cater  for  our  parents.  It  was  a  chance   to  display  our  cooking  skills  and  give  our  parents  the  night  off.  We  chose  a  'MulCcultural'  theme  because  we  were  all   interested  in  learning  different  styles  and  techniques  of  cooking.    It  was  a

“The  dinner  was  well  planned,   the  menu  was  well  balanced.  I   can  happily  say  a   lot  of  parents  enjoyed   it  and  we   got  a   lot  of  posiCve   feedback.   The   night  went  as  planned  and  it  was  enjoyable.”  

Meg  Johnson

“The   MulCcultural   dinner   was   for   our   parents   which   was   an   assessment  which  went   towards  our  grade.   It  was  a  good  night,  where   lots  of  planning  

went  towards   it   -­‐   from  planning   the  menu,   who  was  coming   and  what  the  night  was  going   to   look  like.   The   parents,   the   students,   staff  and  Mr  Heske  enjoyed  the  night  and  everything  turned  out  well.”

“The  Cultural  Dinner  consisted  of  our  Asia   inspired  entrées  and  mains,  and  a

“Awakening  was  amazing.   It  was  very  well  publicised  and  had  a  great  turn  out  on  the  day.  The  TCC   band   had   been   hard   at   work  

pracCcing   and   all   their   efforts   definitely  paid   off   when   they   rocked   out   the   College  

with   their   Cght   drumbeats,   great   guitar   licks   and   excellent  

vocals.   This   youthy   music   a?racted   almost   everyone   in   the  College   and  kept  them  interested  to  see  what  it  was  all  about.  Aqer   the   band  started  Awakening   off  with  a  bang,   there   were  

some   epic   games  organised  with  House   points  up   for  grabs.   In  the  first  game,  contestants  (picked  from  the  crowd)  had  to  a?empt  to  eat  a  dry  ‘weet-­‐bix’  biscuit  as  quickly  as  they  could,  once   they  had  

finished  it,  they  had  to  whistle  into  the  microphone.  This  was  not  an  easy  task;  the  dryness  of  the  biscuit  sucked  all  the  water  from  the  contestant’s  mouths  and  made  it  hard  to  swallow.  

The   very   next  game  was  a  compeCCon  between   four   groups  of  two  people   each.   Their   task  was  to  eat   the   enCre   inside   of  semi-­‐hemispherical  watermelon,  before  placing  the  hollowed  melon  on  their  head  as  if  it  were  a  helmet.  The  challenge   got  very  messy  very  quickly  and  not  only  were  

the   contestants  having  a   great  Cme,  but   the   audience   around  them  were  loving  it  as  well.  The   last  game  was  organised  by  our  College  Sport  Captain,  Josh  Tucker,  and  this  was  a  good  ‘ol  fashion  game  of  dodgeball.    Judah  and  

Reuben  teamed  up  against  Joseph  and  Levi  in  an  epic  ba?le  of  the  houses.  In  the   end  it  was  Joseph  and  Levi  that  dominated  the  field  and  earned  themselves  points  for  their  House.  Aqer  everyone  had   a   great   Cme   with   the   games,  Mr.   K  delivered   a  

powerful   message   on   individuality   and   not   faking  your  true  idenCty.  

Awakening   was   awesome   fun;   there   was  not  one  person  there  that  didn’t  look  like  they  were  having  a  great   Cme.   I   strongly   encourage   people   to   keep  

coming   to   Awakening   and   those   who   weren’t   there   to  make  the  effort  to  come  because  Awakening  can  only  get  bigger  and  be?er.“Josh  Klenner  &  Nathania  Widjanarko
