COLLEGE SENIOR BALL

The   Thornlie   Chris,an  College   Senior   Ball  was  held  on  the   25th  of  April  2012  for  the  Year   11’s   and   the   Year   12’s.   The   commi@ee   very   much   enjoyed   organising   and  preparing   for   this  important   and  special  evening   for   the   students  and  their  partners  along   with   staff   and  parents.   The   theme   for   the   night   was  elegance   and   this   was  

shown  through  the   tasteful   colours  of  red,  black  and  white.   All  who  a@ended  had  an  amazing   night   where   beau,ful   pictures   were   taken,   wonderful   food   was   eaten,  followed   by   dancing   the   night   away   and  a   chance   to   spend   the   evening   together  

which  was  the  best  part.Belle  of  the   Ball   was  presented   to   Jennifer  Waddell  who  looked  absolutely   amazing  and  shone   like  a   star;   Beau  of  the   Ball  was  given  to  Jesse  Whitaker  who  looked  very  

handsome  and  displayed  himself  as  a  real  gentleman.  This   amazing   night   we   will   always  reflect   on   and   the   memories  we   made   will   last  forever.  It  would  not  have  been  possible  without  the  help  of  Mrs  Balding  who  guided,  and  helped  The  Entertainment  and  Func,ons  commi@ee;   Siobhan  Hair,   Lauren  Quinn  

and  Maddison  Davidson,   to  make  this  evening  a  night  to  remember.   Thank   you  to  all  Year  11  &  12  students  that  a@ended  as  well  as  Parents  and  Staff.

the fact that everyone was able to have a good dance with friends, to

good music.”Andrea Antonello,

The  20th  of  April  was  a  terrific  day  and  the   perfect  night  for  the   annual  Thornlie  Chris,an  College  Senior  Ball.  Although  the  chilly  weather  and  cloudy  undertone  carried  premoni,ons,  in  contrary  it  highlighted  the  warmth  and  shine  of  each  individual  that  a@ended  this  well  organised  event.As  early   as  from   the   recep,on  amongst  my  peers,   I  had  already   known  that  the   night  was  going  to  be  a   good  one,  where   everyone  not  only  

looked  amazing,  but  genuinely  felt  special  with  a  joy  that  was  carried  ,ll  the  end  of  the  night  and  that  I  s,ll  feel  as  I  write  this.The  aesthe,cs  of  the  venue  and  delicacy  of  the  food,  topped  with  a  reputable  message  from  Mrs  Balding  and  a  few  of  Mr  Kingsford’s  infamous  jokes  made   for  one  of  the  most  elegant  nights  of  my  life.  I  thank  you  all  for  the  wonderful  night  and  wish  our  Year  12’s,  peers  and  beloved  Staff  

their  best  year  yet.Jesse  Whi@aker,  Beau  of  the  Ball

At   the   2012  Senior   Ball   I   received  the   pres,gious  award  of   Belle   of   the   Ball.   I   was  so   surprised  and  so  grateful.  The  moment   I   stood  in  front  of  Mrs  Jacobsz,   receiving  my  sash,   I  was  crying.   I   had  not   thought   I  would  be   chosen  as  Belle  of  the   Ball  because  I  didn't  spend  a   lot  of  the  ,me   dancing.   I  also  hadn't  wished  to  win  Belle  of  the  Ball  -­‐  not   because   I   didn't   want   to   be   considered   the   most   beau,ful,   or   best-­‐dressed   or   elegant   or   for   my  

personality,  but   because   I   didn't  want   to  dance   the   waltz  in  front  of  everyone.  I  admit   to  not  paying  much  a@en,on  in  the   dancing   classes   (sorry  Mrs  Balding)  because   I  was  having   too  much  fun  and  that  did  have  consequences.   I   stood  on  the  Beau's  feet   every  way  we  turned!  Sorry  Jesse!   But,  overall   it  was  an  amazing  

experience  and  one  that  i'll  never  forget.  Thank  you  so  much.Jennifer  Waddell,  Belle  of  the  Ball

YEAR 9 PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT DAYOn  Wednesday  13th  of  June   the  Year  9's  went  to  the  Mul,  Purpose  Hall  at  school  for  the  second  Personal  Development  day.   It  was  an  interes,ng  and  fun  day  to  be  a  part  of  as  we  played  games,   listened  to  Adam  Przytula   speak  about:   The   wounded  spirit,   Self-­‐esteem,  Decision  Making,   Bullying   and  Resilience   and   to  finish   the   day   we   had   a   hip   hop   crew  

named  BAM  come  in  and  show/teach  us  some  moves.  

During   the   day,  we   were  given  chocolates  for   asking  good  ques,ons  and  winning   games  

and   for   lunch  we   had  hotdogs  and  a   can  or   juice   box.   Overall   it   was  a   great   day   and  I  personally  can't  wait  for  the  next  PD  day  later  in  the  year.  Joshua  Bandi  

The   PD   day   on   Wednesday   was   awesome   and   the  workshops  were   very   mo,va,onal.   Adam,   the   quest  

speaker   was   very   funny   and   everyone   had   a   few  laughs.   I   really   liked   it.   The   Hip   hop   crew   was   pre@y  cool.   I   learned  some   new  moves  and  the   dance   by   BAM  

was  cool.  Canaan  Thevarakam

roles   of   the   staff   members.   Anerwards   we   crossed   the   street   to   the  Magistrates   Court   where   we   were   able   to   watch   some   real   sessions   in  progress.  It  was  all  very  fascina,ng!  

We  then  proceeded  to  the  Cons,tu,onal  Centre  of  Western  Australia,  where  we  were   shown  a  video  on  elec,on  and  vo,ng  followed  by  the  comple,on  of  worksheets  to  supplement  our  understanding  on  the  vo,ng  process.  

Moving  on,  we  went  to  the   Parliament  House  where  we  were  shown  around  on  a  tour  and  brought  to  the  Green  Room  where  we  re-­‐enacted  a  debate  over  the   hoon   law.  We   got  to  meet  Mr   Abetz,  who  provided  the   plaporm   for  an  interes,ng  ques,on  and  answer  session.

In  all,  we  had  a   great  day   and  a  fantas,c  ,me!  We   learned  many   things  and  the  excursion  was  interes,ng  and  informa,ve,  peppered  with  lots  of  fun.

CHAPEL SERVICESSo  this  has  been  a  cracker  term   for  Chapel!  The   guests  speakers  and  ar,sts  have  been  great,  but   the  message   they  have  been  sharing  has  been  the  most  encouraging.  So  many  like  minded  people  walking  in  different  areas  of  life,  using  the  gins,  talents  and  abili,es  that  God  has  given  them  to   build   into   the   larger   Kingdom!   Messages   of   hope   in   the   midst   of   suffering,   purpose   in   the   midst   confusion   and   peace   in   the   midst   of  destruc,on.

RUN FOR THE MONEY! DRAMA PRODUCTIONFrom  an  Assistant  Director’s  point  of  view   I   feel  that  the   produc,on  ran  very  smoothly.  I  was   very   proud   that   every   one   remembered   their   lines,   their   cues   and   their  posi,ons.  I  now  feel  that  all  of  the  aner  school  rehearsals  and  all  the  ,me  and  effort   everyone   and   myself   put   into   making   the   produc,on   a   success  

really   paid  off.   It   wasn’t   an   easy   produc,on   to   do,   which  made   it   so  much  more   rewarding   when   it   all   came   together   at   the   end.   I   think  everyone  did  a  fantas,c  job  and  should  be  very  proud  of  themselves.  It  

seems  that   each   year   the   College   produc,on   ends  up   being   a   great  achievement.   This  year’s  produc,on  has  really   set  a   high   standard  for  others  to  follow.   Even  though  I  will  not  be  at   the  College   next  year  aner  

gradua,ng   at   the   end  of   this  year,   I   am   really   looking   forward   to   coming  along  and  watching   next   years  performance.   Ques,on   is…  can  this  year’s,  Year  11’s  maintain  the  high  standard  for  next  year?

A   huge   thanks   to   Mr   Willesee,   who   put   all   his   ,me   and   effort   into   three   nights   of  Produc,on!  Amberlie  Evans,    Assistant  Director  

This  was  my  last  College   Produc,on  and   it  means  a  lot   to  me  to  be   in  it  with  all  my  close  friends.   Being   involved  with   both  on-­‐stage   and  backstage   aspects  of   the   produc,on   has  

been  very   beneficial   and   fun.   I’m   sure   everyone   enjoyed  watching   the   performance   as  much  as  I  enjoyed  being  part  of  it.Jason  Earle,  Year  12

I  loved  the  energy  on  the  stage.  So  much  is  going  on  all  the  ,me  and  I  love  how  amazing  all  my  fellow  cast  and  crew  was.Rachel  Murphy,  Year  11  

“I really enjoyed these

experiences because I enjoy Drama and I love being out there. It was really fun as

well”Latoya Japhta

The  Music  camp  students  of  2012  consisted  of  a  group  of  energe,c  and  adventurous  students  from  various  year  groups  excited  to  experience  their  very  first  Music  camp.  Students  were  soon  separated  into  groups  lead  by  a  Year  11  mentor.  Throughout  the  journey  to  Fairbridge,  I  had  the  opportunity  to  enjoy   an   amazing  ,me   with   various  talented  students.  The   Music  camp  held   this  year   was  not  only   for   the   Choir   but   it   also  included  the   Rock   Band.   This  increased  the   number  of  students  a@ending;   to  well  over   20  students.   Once   we   were   se@led  at  Fairbridge  we  

began  to  unpack   and  play   a   few   icebreaker   games,   which   helped  students   to   create   new   friendships.   Each  group  became   more   and  more  compe,,ve  as  the  par,cipa,ng  students  were  eager  to  win  the  ul,mate  prize  at  the  end  of  the  camp.  Rehearsals  became  intense,  as  we  had  to  learn  a  variety  of  songs  from  different  eras,  however  the  highlight  was  the  enthusiasm  of  each  student  as  they  created  ac,ons  and  dance  moves  

rela,ng  to  the  song.  Various  games  such  as  a  treasure  hunt  took  place  organised  by  Mrs  Balding.  During  the  day  we  had  lessons  by  Mrs  Balding  on  how  to  do  the   jive   and  a  demonstra,on  by  Mrs  Balding  and  Mr  Kingsford  on  how  it  is  done.  It  was  an  unforge@able  experience  dancing  with  the  Middle  Schools  students.  As  the  day  was  coming  to  an  end  everyone  was  prac,sing  their  performances  for   the  Talent  Show  that  night.  The  

amount  of  musical  talent  displayed  was  mind  blowing  as  each  of  the  students  showed  just  how   incredibly  gined  they  really  are.  The  advantage  of  staying  at   Fairbridge  was  gevng   away   from  the   distrac,on  of  City  life;   and  we   had  the  privilege   to  experience  the  sight  of  billions  of  stars  shining  brightly.  Before  ending  the  day  we  headed  out  for  a  night  bush  walk  to  experience  our  last  night  together  as  a  music  group.  Music  camp  was  a  very  enjoyable  event  as  each  of  us  has  many  memories  to  cherish  and  have  new  friendships.

AWAKENINGAwakening   this  term  has  no  doubt  been  a  challenge,  with  an  average   a@endance   of  10-­‐15  people  per  Awakening.   However   fellow   chairperson  Rebecca  Moore  and  commi@ee  members  Emily  Olsen  and  Ma@hew  Wilson  have  worked  hard  to  give   students  an  opportunity  of  genuine   God  ,me  through  the  use  of  new  ini,a,ves  such  as  “Communion-­‐styled”  Awakenings  and  Awakening  which  were  solely  based  on  listening  to  Worship  songs;  as  well   as  prayer  mee,ngs.   It’s  been  truly  great  to  see   regulars  come   to  Awakening  –  which  means  that  what  the  Worship  commi@ee   is  

doing   is  influen,al,  and  something  which  can  grow  and  develop  into  a  well-­‐known  lunch,me  event  in  the   very  near  future.    We  hope  Term  3  will  be  a  success  as  well  as  be  a  step  further  in  being  an  outreach  to  the  younger  genera,on  of  students  this  year.

On  Thursday,  June  21,  18  Senior  School  girls  journeyed  up  to  the  Swan  Valley  region  to  par,cipate  in  the  WACCSA  Interschool  Girls  AFL  Carnival.  Aner  a  couple  of  weeks  of  training,  the  

girls  were  excited  but  a  bit  unsure  of  what  to  expect  as  some  were  playing  the  game  for  the  first  ,me.  

It  showed  a  li@le  in  the  first  half  as  the  girls  were  a  li@le  in,midated  by  the  tall  and  powerful  Swan  

team,  and  were  down  by  4  goals  at  half  ,me.  The  second  half  proved  to  be  a  much  more  even  affair  as  the  girls  realised  they  could  match  Swan.  A  brilliant  diving  tackle  and  kick  for  goal  

by  Denika  Marciano  provided  our  girls  with  their  first  goal  of  the  day,  and  it  was  quickly  followed  by  a  goal  to  Amberlie  Evans  from  a  strong  mark  

in  the  goal  square.  The  girls  ended  up  losing  by  4  goals,  but  managed  to  keep  the  second  half  level  which  was  a  great  achievement  and  made  the  

Coach  very  proud.

The  second  game  saw  TCC  go  up  against  Ellenbrook.  Having  a  lot  more  confidence,  the  girls  started  much  stronger  and  kicked  the  first  4  goals  of  the  game.  A  further  2  goals  in  the  second  half  saw  the  girls  finish  winners  by  about  5  goals.  The  commitment  from  our  team  was  clear  to  see,  as  

two  of  our  girls  clashed  heads  figh,ng  to  lay  a  tackle  on  an  Ellenbrook  defender  and  Andrea  Harper  took  a  heavy  blow  but  has  now  recovered  well.  The  win  meant  that  TCC  finished  second  for  the  day,  a  great  result!The  team  was  well  lead  by  Co-­‐captains:  Amberlie  Evans  -­‐  who  kicked  three  goals  for  the  day,  Courtney  Wallis  -­‐  who  rucked  valiantly  for  most  of  

the  day,  and  Emere  Gard  -­‐  who  lay  some  crunching  tackles  in  the  backline.    Donnah  Holloway  provided  some  great  run  from  the  backline,  Rachel  Murphy  was  a  rock  on  the  fullback  line  and  Tahlia  Pinci  was  running  all  day.  Congratula,ons  to  other  goal-­‐kickers  Sepro,na  Peniata,  Maddison  Davison  and  Amy  Grasso.  Thank  you  also  to  Daniel  Fleay  and  Michael  Long  for  helping  out  with  umpiring  on  the  day.

MIDDLE SCHOOL WACSSA INTER-SCHOOL SOCCER CARNIVALThe  WACSSA  Inter-­‐school   Soccer  Carnival  took  place  at  the  Ashfield  Reserve  Sports  Grounds  in  Ashfield.  There  were   seventeen  schools  in  total  categorised   into  seven  Secondary   Schools,   six   large   Primary   Schools  and  four   small  Primary  Schools.   The  Secondary   School   compe,,on   in   which   Thornlie   Chris,an   College   par,cipated   in  

allowed  each  school  to  play  six  games  and  our  results  were  as  follows:

Game   1:   TCC  vs.   Swan   (TCC  won  by   2  goals   to   1).   Our   goal   scorers  were   Samuel  

Wong  and  Lee  Spence

Game   2:   TCC   vs.   Rehoboth   (TCC   lost   by   1   goal   to   2).   Our   goal   scorer   was   Jai  

McCamley

Game   3:   TCC   vs.   Mundaring   (TCC  won   by   5  goals   to  nil).   The   goal   scorers   were  Braydon  Beckley  with  2  goals,  Samuel  Wong  with  1  goal,   Joshua  Smith  with  1  goal  

and  Jai  McCamley  with  1  goal

Game  4:  TCC  vs.  Founda,on  (TCC  won  by  1  goal  to  nil).  The  goal  scorer  was  Brendan  

McCamley.   This  is  the  team  that  came  second  but  with  much  less  points  than  TCC  –  who  eventually  won  the  compe,,on.

Game  5:  TCC  vs.  Southern  Hills  (TCC  won  by  3  goals  to  nil).  The  goal  scorers  were  Jai  McCamley  with  2  goals  and  Samuel  Wong  with  one  goal.

Game  6:  TCC  vs.  Emmanuel  (TCC  won  by  eight  (8)  goals  to  nil).  The  goal  scorers  were  

Jai  McCamley  with  three(3),Brayden  Beckley   with   two  (2),   Andrew  Bagayana   with  one  (1),  Lee  Spence  with  one  (1)  and  Samuel  Wong  with  another  one  (1).

Overall,   these   were   fantas,c   and   fulfilling   performances   brought   about   by   the  handwork  and  dedica,on  the  boys  have  shown  throughout  the  training  sessions  we  have  had  in  the  past  weeks.   It  was  the  team  effort  coupled  with  the  good  behaviour  

that   reflected   the   College   ethos.   My   personal   gra,tude   goes   to   the   College  leadership,  Staff,  Parents,  House  Captain  Jordan  Spence   and  helper  Connor  Marshall  who  supported  this  endeavour  from  the  beginning  to  the  end.God   richly   bless  you  all   and  may   He   con,nue   to   be   glorified  even   through  these  

children’s  gins  and  talents.

SPORTS WEEK

Y11 DRAMA EXCURSION

During  Week  10  we  joined  with  the  Social  Concerns  Commi@ee,  Jason  Earle  and  Parvan  Gill,   to  create   Sports  Week.   The   sports  ran  from  Monday   through  to  Friday  and  were  held  during  lunch  ,mes  each  day  in  the  Mul,  Purpose  Hall.  

The   Middle   School   took   part   in   Indoor   Soccer,   while   the   Senior   School   took   part   in  Netball.   Each  year  group  organised  their   teams,   consis,ng  of  both  girls  and  boys.  They  

then  had  to  come   up  with  a   team  and  a   name   in  which  they’d  be   known  by.   Different  teams  versed  each  other   on  different  days  and  on   the   Thursday  and  the   Friday   were  the  Semi  Finals  and  the  Finals  to  crown  the  overall  Netball  and  Soccer  champions.  

The  winners  for  the  Middle  School  Soccer  team  was  Alf’s  Team  -­‐  Cameron  Flood,  Demi  Jacob,  Chante'  van  den  Berg,  Kieren  Li@lefair,  Steve  Ma@hews  and  Mary  A,eh.

The  winners  for   the  High  School  Netball   team   was  Da   Cool   Cats  -­‐  WIlliam   Jacobsz,  Connor   Marshall,   Kirsty   Issacs,   Rachel   Murphy,   Kirrilie   Braun,   Brandon   Moss   and  Mitchell   Crisp.   Subs   were   Josh  Moffat,   Andrea   Antonello,   Jordan  Spence   and   Ralfey  

Fenton.

Overall   the   idea  of  a   Sports  Week  was  extremely   successful  as  an   idea   to  run  during  

school  hours  and  be   able   to  get   as  many  students  involved  as  possible.  We  had  great  help   from   the   Sports   Captains   and   even   some   Year   12   students   who   helped   and  assisted  in  refereeing  the  games.  Both  Joel  and  I  were   grateful   to  be  working  alongside   Jason  and  Parvan   in   this  week  

and  are  happy  with  a  posi,ve  outcome.

ENRON AT WAAPAOn   the   twen,eth   of   June,   Year   11  Drama   students  went   to   the   Western   Australian  Academy  of  Performing   Arts  to  view   the   play   ENRON  put   on  by   second   year   WAAPA  students.   The   play  was  about   the   rise   and  fall   of   Jeffrey   Skilling   (CEO   of  mul,-­‐billion  dollar  company  Enron  from  1992  to  2001).  The   play  was  brilliantly  wri@en,  directed  and  

performed  and  everyone   involved  in  its  produc,on  should  be  immensely  proud.  All  who  a@ended   thoroughly  enjoyed  the   experience.  We   laughed,   we   cried  and  we   learned.  It  was  a  wonderful  night  and  we  all  thank  Mr  Willesee  for  taking  us.
