Celebrating the beautiful things in life

The term Stylus is used to describe a myriad of different devices used in

computing, science, medicine, art and technology. In ancient times, a stylus

was the bone or ivory pen used to write on wax or clay tablets. Stylus is

also the Greek word for pillar, denoting strength and grace.

the focus of this edition of the Stylus is the cultivation of “The Beautiful Things in

Life” – the Arts in all forms.

In this year’s Appreciating Culture Lecture, the Hon. Peter Garrett, Minister for

School Education, Early Childhood and Youth spoke on the “Power of Music in Education”.

The SPACe was simultaneously hosting the Arts Exhibition on the theme of the Elements

and the Environment. To honour the “Power of Music”, the Senior and Junior Schools held

spectacular showcases, featuring the talents of students and hard work and professionalism

of our teachers K – 12. The Parish Gala Dinner hosted VIPS, community members and

teachers for a glittering evening of acknowledgement and entertainment in our new SPACe.

Once again the P & F came through with a delightful Spring Fair at which spirits were

raised as well as funds for our Computers & Information Technology Program.

It is amazing to think back to the fact that in the midst of these events, solid teaching and

learning across the key learning areas is happening at a high level, preparing students to

reach their potential in the academics and in the HSC.

Yet it all happens; because we pull together as one family and give of our best in all that

we attempt. For this I can only express my gratitude to everyone who works to make St

Spyridon College a place of light and learning.

The Scholarships are based on the results of ACER scholarship exams held on 14th May, 2011. There was a strong field of candidates from other primary schools, our Year 6 and Year 10 students.

We commend all students who attempted this challenging exam.

Global ConnectionsWorld Vision Global Leadership Convention

Does anyone realize that East Timor, a country that is 1 hour away from Darwin, and one of our closest neighbours; is one of the poorest countries in the World? And, that right now in the African countries of Kenya and Somalia there is a devastating drought bringing starvation, hardship and unfortunately death to millions. These are some of the global issues we were recently made aware of.

Theodore Kipriotis, Constance Synesios, Maria Mio and I accompanied by Miss Kladakis, attended the World Vision Global Leadership Convention at Homebush.

The guest presenters at the convention as Daniel has already said, were very honest and moving in talking about their countries and life experiences.

The first speaker was Grace. She was brought up in Northern Uganda and was trained to fight along side other children who were abducted to fight in the war. Here the LRA also known as the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda somehow used God’s will as justification for killing thousands.

Following this we saw the world statistics on hunger and poverty. Hunger is the biggest killer in the world. Diseases such as HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria together, still can’t compete with Hunger. 22,500 children alone die daily due to hunger. In Bangladesh 50% of the family income is for food in comparison

to Australia where 20% of the family income is for food.

One of the most thought provoking things we learnt was that there was enough food and water for every country and every individual on Earth, but because of greed and fear, some coun-tries become more powerful than others and they mo-nopolize resources. Power seems to drive everyone

crazy and it ends up with them becoming less humane.

We strongly encourage everyone to participate in the 40 hour

famine this year and every year.

The Senior School hosted The Principals and students from the Wuhan Sunshine Culture and Arts School as part of a Study Tour organized by the Australian Centre for International Education.

P&F Spring FairA Glorious Day of Fun

P&F members took pleasure in observing the empty spacious school yard transform into a potentially fun filled amusement park with dodgem car and aero bungee jump facilities being erected- to name a few. The excitement and strong team work spirit grew as members came together in the kitchen to be faced with one small challenge out of a countless many others which involved preparing 110 kilos of large fresh octopus for the BBQ stall for the next day. The tasks to follow were endless but exciting!

The arrival of rain, twice, with a harder and heavier drop the second time, was not able to dampen the energy and enthusiasm of all involved. Stall holders bravely and immediately wiped up and freshened up their stalls to reinvite their guests. Skin creations treated you to some face therapy while Angela’s airbrushing decorated your body, and Step into Life prepared you for outdoor personal training, while Mary’s flowers brightened your spirits, while Fuss and White Castro accessorised your image, while Replicas R Us and Nikos Art took you to the world of Greek warriors, while Bank of Cyprus handled your money matters. The experiences were many more and diverse. Indulging in real fun fair food from gelato to fairy floss from Floss Boss to cupcakes by Minis was great! Our Greek popular food favourites still included BBQ souvlaki, BBQ octopus, mouth-watering loukoumades and

the delicious homemade Greek sweets. We sincerely thank our regular generous donors whose efforts made a great contribution to the success of the day. We look forward to thanking them individually very soon.

The performers ranging from All Sorts dancing to Belinz zumba kids parties to the Greek duo instrumentalists – Christos Evripidou and Sam Christodoulides - to our talented students Greek dancing, created such fun fair atmosphere which made it impossible for visitors to pull away from on the day. A special thank you is expressed to our volunteers who worked hard to prepare for the Fair and/or man stalls. A final thank you to all the staff who supported P&F efforts and requests especially Mrs Tsaconas, Father Steven, Father Sotiri, Mrs Stefanou, Mrs Hamer, Mrs Synesios, Ms Giannakopoulos, Mrs Kerameas, Mrs Simicos, Mrs Doyle, Mrs Balayannis and our hardworking General Assistants and College cleaners. Thank you to Mr E Economou for his MC role and organisation of the sound system. The success of the day created a great profit of $15,000 which we look forward to presenting to the College at a key moment in the near future.

Father Peter began at St Spyridon College fourteen years ago, as a teacher of the Greek language. During this time

he showed himself to be a passionate team member with a deep love of the Greek Culture and language. This was evident in the interest he stirred within his students.

At this time he was an undergraduate of St Andrew’s Theological College. It was a natural progression that he became the incumbent custodian of Orthodox Studies within the College. Here we all witnessed his leadership, drive and active steps in developing a common Orthodox Studies programme and a comprehensive resource base (ie. textbooks) for all Greek Orthodox Colleges to implement. He lifted the profile of Orthodox Studies by having it approved as a Board endorsed course with the Board of Studies.

He has an innate love of sport which he bridged the themes of spiritual and physical health as a teacher of PDHPE.

In his role as Year Adviser over many years, he provided a support system and touchstone to address the needs of each of his charges. He was always available and willing to listen and provide advice and guidance. He was pivotal in establishing the school choir chanting the Engomia on Holy Friday and during the Doxology Year 12 Farewell. This is now an ingrained tradition for all to follow through.

Father Peter was supportive in activities that ventured beyond the classroom. Visits to St Basil’s, ESTIA and St Andrew’s Theological College were all coordinated by him. Even bodies beyond the College acknowledged his ability and yearning to help all students. The ISA and CIS sporting bodies all engaged his services as a soccer coach/manager.

He will always be remembered for his efforts to instil in the students self respect and respect and love for others.

on Saturday 5th November, St Spyridon Parish held its Gala Dinner to celebrate the opening of the Sports & Performing Arts Centre (SPACe). The SPACe was

partly funded by the Federal Government though its Building Education Revolution (BER) initiative for which the community is most appreciative. Among the guests for the evening were The Hon. Peter Garret MP, Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth; Senator Matt Thistlethwaite; The Hon. Marie Anne Ficara - Parliamentary Secretary NSW; The Hon. Michael Daley – Member for Maroubra and Mrs Daley; Cr Scott Nash – Mayor of Randwick; and Detective Superintendent Arthur Katsogiannis, Commander Gangs Squad, NSW State Crime Command.

In his welcome the Parish President, Mr Elia Economou thanked the Government as well as the many benefactors who have supported the growth of the College over its 28 years of progress. Acknowledgments were given to the following:

The Estate of the Late Professor Manuel Aroney – who had been on the Board of Governors of the College for 28 years, and who had bequeathed $60,000 from his Estate to the College Building Fund, received on behalf of his family by his son and daughter in law, Steven and Sophia Aroney.

The Estate of the Late Mrs Marina Pappas – who pledged $50,000 to the College Building Fund prior to her sudden passing in 2009. Her son & dauther in law, Dr Nicholas and Elleni Pappas honoured her pledge from her Estate and received a commemorative plaque in recognition of this donation.

AHEPA NSW pledged $30,000 to the College’s Building Fund, as well as a commitment for ongoing support to the College’s Scholarships and Bursaries Program. Mr John Theodorides, NSW State President of AHEPA was acknowledged for this announcement.

The Parents & Friends Association of the College also announced that their fundraising contribution for 2011 was $50,000. The P & F Committee led by their President Ms Anna Stamoulis were warmly acknowledged.

Other speakers for the event were The Hon. Peter Garrett; The Hon. Marie Anne Ficarra; and Senator Matt Thistlethwaite who presented the Australian Flag to Mrs Stefanou – Haag.

Parish Priest Rev. Father Steven Scoutas closed the formal part of the evening by reminding all those present that St Spyridon College welcomes students from 20 different cultural backgrounds, all of whom are valued and cherished members of their learning community.

The evening closed with live music and dance and was enjoyed by all.

The Beautiful things In LifePrima Ballerina

Many of our students at St Spyridon College have interests outside of school in which they excel. One example is Eleni Mavrolefteros from Year 9.

Eleni has been learning classical ballet since she was three years old. She attends Academy Ballet which has recently moved its studios from the French School in Maroubra to Alexandria.

She has been studying and completing yearly examinations under the RAD Syllabus (Royal Academy of Dance), which is internally standardised.

She also studies Russian character dance, contemporary, jazz ballet, classical repertoire and musical theatre.

Last year she was offered a position as a part-time student at Academy Ballet. She has been selected to compete as a soloist in yearly eisteddfods over the past four years and in classical and character groups over the past six years.

Eleni’s studies in dance have offered her enormous opportunities to develop a healthy body and mind, and encourage an enjoyable discipline in the pursuit of excellence.

Congratulations Eleni.

National Art School Newsletter Article

At the beginning of 2011 I was nominated by my Visual Arts teacher Ms Pringle to apply for a place at the National Art School to participate in the Preliminary HSC intensive art studio practice. For my application I sent in four pieces from my portfolio which consisted of drawings, paintings and 3D pieces. Out of hundreds of applicants across the State of NSW I was one of the one hundred of the most talented art students in the State that was selected and given a scholarship to the National Art School.

The course required me to attend NAS during the holidays for two weeks. As I was accepted into the discipline of ceramics, I worked with clay and was able to experiment with different sculptural forms. The class was given an assessment which required us to create a body of work relating to and exploring the themes of nature and the man made world. We also were required to submit an essay on an

artist of our choice who had explored similar themes through their artworks. Once the bodies of work were

completed, our artworks were placed in a group exhibition at the art school that was open to the public. A photo of my work in progress was used on the invitation. At the exhibition our teachers then critiqued and marked our artworks.

Overall the experience was incredible as I learned different ways to create artworks and improve my art making skills which will assist me in creating my major work in Year 12. I had a wonderful time at NAS as I made many new friends and met many amazing practicing artists. The experience was very fulfilling and motivating as it will never be forgotten.

The first speaker, was the late Gavin Brown, then the Vice-Chancellor and Principal of Sydney University. In 2008, the then Attorney General NSW, John Hatzistergos spoke to us about the importance of the Eureka Stockade, as a force of impetus for the development of the Australian Constitution.

In 2005, His Eminence Archbishop Stylianos of Australia defined for us, what were the “Priorities in True Culture”.

Peter was born in Waroonga, NSW and attended Barker College. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from ANU and a degree in Laws from the University of New South Wales. Peter was elected to the House of Representatives for Kingsford Smith in 2004 and 2007. Prior to this he held Ministerial appointments as Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, and Minister for the Environment Protection, Heritage and the Arts.

With Labor in opposition, he was Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Reconciliation and the Arts, and Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Heritage and the Arts.

Peter is a man of principle and compassion. He is a relentless champion for the truth, no matter how unpalatable it may be. He has been a powerful champion for the disadvantaged and dispossessed, for social justice and the care of our beleaguered planet.

Of course we all know him as the lead singer in the Australian band Midnight Oil. Their thirteen-album career culminated in the ARIA lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. Through their music and Peter’s distinctive voice and persona, they reshaped Australia’s values and our nation’s identity.

Peter was President of the Australian Conservation Foundation serving two terms. He received the Australian Humanitarian Foundation Award in 2000. In 2003 he received the Order of Australia for his contribution to environment and the music industry. In 2009, Peter was awarded the prestigious French Government Officer of the Order of the Arts and Letters. He has been acknowledged as a leading green thinker by the Green Building Council of Australia. In 2010, the World Wildlife Fund Australia and International, presented Peter with their Leader for a Living Planet Award.

Peter Garrett spoke on the “Power of Music in Education”.

Thank you Minister.

Oh what a night and what impressive talent. Every Showcase performance item was unique and special. The P&F committee would so proudly like to congratulate each and every perform-er for their energy, talent and confidence in delivering a great variety show.

Congratulations to all the performing arts teachers and all staff involved with the preparation of this most memorable night. We admire their commitment, drive and tireless efforts especially the ‘Spirit’ band who did so brilliantly to teach and inspire their students by example and appear on stage in a knock-out finale.

This night is also a great credit to Mrs Stefanou and Mrs Katsogiannis who drive and power such a mammoth event behind the scenes. While seated in the Sports and Performing Arts Centre, we truly praise Christina Tsaconas and the Parish executive for completing and providing a magnificent facility, which stands to enhance, share and celebrate the amazing drama, dance, singing and musical talents of our students. Its moments like these that place the Building Fund in a positive lime light.
