Dear Temple Community, Volume 12, Issue 13 Friday September 1, 2017 

This team will form the

Student Leadership Team

in 2018. They will begin

taking over from the current

Student Leadership Team

at the beginning of next

term. This is our largest

Leadership Team to date, and their names and

photos appear in this Newsletter.

World Vision

I encourage all of our students to get behind

our World Vision Fundraising events and to

donate generously. Our goal is $10,000, which

is a huge task, but if everyone does something,

this goal is achievable.

Parenting Ideas Insights

This week’s article is titled “Father to Father”.

Obviously, with the celebration of Father’s Day,

this article gives excellent suggestions on how

we can improve in our role as a father, step-

father, father-in-law, and grandfather.

Conclusion

My recent trip to the Gold Coast to visit my two

daughters, six grandchildren and their families,

turned out to be a sad one. The stepfather of

my two daughters, and step grandfather to my

grandchildren passed away.

Pursuing excellence for the glory of God

On Tuesday of Week 4, the Year 11 Prefect

applicants for 2018 had the opportunity to

attend the Bible Society’s Masterclass, at

Edwardstown Baptist Church. It was a great

opportunity to learn more about God’s word,

through the inspirational speakers that pre-

sented on the day. Issues such as freedom of

speech, and the connection between Science

and Faith, were addressed in an engaging

manner.

Students mixed with their peers from other

schools, and were entertained with uplifting

praise and worship from Sacred Stone. Our

students did particularly well with a fun Bible

Quiz, with Astrid Cocks making it to the final

three elimination stage. Madeleine Hilder, Matt

King and myself were really happy with how

well Temple’s future student leaders repre-

sented the school, giving us great confidence

looking forward to 2018.

Blessings,

Peter Jeffree

Campus Principal, Temple Christian College

He had not been well for a period of time but

suddenly declined in the two weeks before his

death. He was only 60 years of age. I had the

privilege of praying with him the day before he

passed away. It made me realise once again

how fragile our lives are, and how important it

is to make sure our priorities are balanced.

Spending time with family is an important one

and can’t be made up after someone has

passed on.

As Christians, we believe that a personal rela-

tionship with Jesus Christ is important, be-

cause He is the one that gives us hope both

now and in the afterlife to come (Heaven).

Colossians 1:4-6 (NLT) says: “For we have

heard of your faith in Jesus Christ and your

love for all of God’s people, which come from

your confident hope of what God has re-

served for you in Heaven. You have had this

expectation ever since you first heard the truth

of the Good News.

This same Good News that came to you is

going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit

everywhere by changing lives, just as it

changed your lives from the day you first heard

and understood the truth about God’s wonder-

ful grace.”

Congratulations to the newly appointed 2018 Prefects!

Adelaide Oval - Senior Business and Enterprise and Tourism Excursion For the first time, we combined the Year 11 and 12 Business and Enterprise and Tourism classes for an excursion to the

Adelaide Oval. With 33 students and 3 teachers, the day began with a walk around the developing Riverbank Precinct to

observe the changing infrastructure and progress on the plans to rejuvenate this network of active spaces and recreation-

al, cultural, business and sporting destinations.

The purpose of the excursion was to gain an understanding of how the Adelaide Oval operates its Marketing, Human Re-

sources and Tourism divisions. We heard from the heads of these departments, who took time out of their schedules spe-

cially to chat to our students. The excursion seamlessly supported what is discussed and taught in class, which reinforced

the importance of getting out of the classroom and seeing real world industry examples.

Our students loved the tour of the Oval, learning about the iconic nature of the Adelaide Oval’s history and seeing the be-

hind the scenes operations. They ran onto the oval from the pre-game rooms to the recorded cheers of a packed oval, a

once in a lifetime experience for many of us. We perused the Sir Donald Bradman Collection and viewed the inner-

workings of the heritage listed scoreboard, a unique icon of South Australian sporting history.

It was a great day! A productive, valuable and fun excursion that we hope to run again next year!

Book Week 2017—Escape to Everywhere Staff and students joined many other schools across the state in celebrating Book

Week from Monday 21st to Friday 25th August. Over 60 students took part in a Writing

Competition based on the theme ‘Escape’, with judges impressed at the quality of the

entries. The library hosted a Pre-loved Book Fair on Thursday and Friday, in which

proceeds from book sales were donated to World Vision, and remaining books donated

to overseas communities in Africa. A dedicated band of volunteer students designed

and created an amazing display in the Resource Centre. Based on our theme, visitors

entering the library were able to climb through a wardrobe into the world of Narnia and

Wonderland. On Friday’s Casual Day, adventurous staff and students dressed up as

their favourite characters. Prizes were on offer for original or creative costumes. ‘Best

Female Costume’ was awarded to Isabelle Trezise alias Harlequin. ‘Best Male Cos-

tume’ went to Timmy Sen as Aladdin. ‘Best Group’ prize went to the Year 12’s dressed

as characters from Alice in Wonderland and the ‘Best Staff Costume’ was claimed by

the beautiful ‘Pink Ladies’ from the SSO. The winners of the Writing Competition were

announced with the ‘Middle School Year 7-9’ category going to Shakira Pheng Year 9.

‘Senior School Year 10 – 12’ was awarded to Joyce Kurtzer in Year 12.

Ouk competed in the

South Australian Heat of

the Apex Fashion Pa-

ject investigation into the

recycling of ocean

waste. Her dress was

painstakingly made by

shopping bags, fishing line and fishing net.

Nyta was awarded the ‘Back Stage Crew’s Encour-

agement Award’ for being so polite and patient

throughout, what was, a very long day.

Maths Quiz Night Maths Quiz Night has become one of the favourite events of the year for our students. This year our six teams, ranging

from Year 7 to 12 students, have been competing against other students from schools such as Pedare Christian College,

Gleeson High, Scott’s College and Rostrevor. MASA organised this event at Pedare Christian College, creating another

night of fun for all participants. I would like to congratulate the following students for making the night one to remember:

Equestrian On Friday 25th of August the equestrian team attended the Eastern

Fleurieu Interschool Gymkhana in Strathalbyn. The team consisted of

Paralowie students Mya Hartwig, Petria Treeby, and their horses Bear

and Remy, plus Mile End student Toby Judd and his horse Captain.

This was Petria Treeby’s first time attending an interschool competition,

she did very well in her events but unfortunately didn’t place. Mya Hart-

wig placed 2nd in the barrel racing, and cleared her 25-35 cm show

jumping resulting in a ribbon and cleared the 50cm show jumping, but

unfortunately went too fast. Toby Judd was equally successful with the

“Texas Barrel Race” as he

is the Champion at this

event for his age group 4

years running and the

“Bending Race”. Andrew

Burfield and parents of the

students were there to

cheer the students on.

Table Tennis On the 15th of August, two Year 8/9 boy’s teams and one Year 8/9 girls

team competed in the SACSA Table Tennis competition at Tyndale

Christian School. We had a very successful day with our two boys

teams playing each other in the Grand Final so we placed first and sec-

ond. The girls made the Grand Final and were runners up, an excellent

effort. Lots of comments were made about the excellent sportsmanship

of our teams and how well they handled themselves on the day. Con-

gratulations to our girls Chelsea Chiem, Nomi Lenir, Shakira Pheng,

Tina Le and boys Jayden Truong, Jayden Lai, Coen Mobbs (Winners),

Samuel Hamilton, Leon Le and Anthony Nara (Runners up).

On the 24th of August our Year 9 Boys competed in the Open Boys

State Knockout Final. It was a gruelling day of tough matches against

the senior boys, where every single round was even on rubbers and

had to go to count back on games won. The boys beat Adelaide High

and Glenunga International by 2 games and lost to Immanuel College

by 2 games. This qualified them for the Grand Final to compete for the

State title against Immanuel College. The Final was no different to any

other round, it was just as fierce as the pressure mounted on the boys.

As they had done all day, the final result was even on rubbers and had

to go to count back on games where we fell two games short! It was an

incredible and inspiring effort, also a very physical effort, and we are so

proud of the achievement. Well done to Jayden Truong, Coen Mobbs, Jayden Lai and Samuel Hamilton.

Year 8/9 SACSA Football On 23rd August, our 8/9 SACSA Footy teams

ventured to the cold, wet & windy Barrett Reserve

at West Beach. Our boys played impeccable

footy for much of the day, interspersed with mo-

ments of inexperienced, loose play. However,

they finished with an impressive 4 wins and 2

losses at the end of the minor round. The boys

finished 6th overall, with honourable mentions to

the silky smooth Jayden Thach and Tyler Sobey,

Brock Fensom as the workhouse, Jayden "I

thought it was a volleyball" Lai and Dylan Miles,

with his sharpshooting up forward. Well done, boys!

The girls, led by the tireless Aisha Thomas, played impressive football and were often saved by some final quarter

sharp shooting from Captain Thomas and Chelsea Joy. Tracey Nuanphaly was formidable in defence, supported by

the silky evasive skills of Kayla Horn and Alicia Him in the midfield. They finished the competition with 3 wins and 2

losses, with a chance to face Temple Mile End to play off for 7th position. A tight final game saw the girls all tied up

at the end of the match, 21 apiece. Great work, girls!

Mr Agnew & Mrs Anthony.

Year 8/9 Boys Netball On 25th August, our 8/9 Boys Netball team

competed in the Northern Zone Netball competi-

tion. Our boys had a successful day where we

also played against North Eastern schools, fin-

ishing 3rd in Division 1. Due to this result, we

actually won the Northern Zone Premiership!

Special mention to Tommy K for working tire-

lessly all day & Astrid Cocks for umpiring. Con-

gratulations to all members of our Premiership

team!

Mr Agnew.

SACSA Open Football On Thursday 24th August, we sent an Open Boys and Open Girls team to the SACSA Footy Carnival. The Girls team

fought hard throughout the day and were unlucky to come away winless after the round games. In their final game for the

day, they showed an impressive performance to win their playoff game. At the start of the day, a couple of team members

pulled out, leaving only 9 players for the day. This was going to be a struggle to not have any substitutions, but the boys

showed a lot of heart all day, refusing to give up at any stage. The team ended up with one win and four losses after the

round games, finishing with a convincing win in their playoff game. Well done to all who played!

us at any of the Parents and Friends meetings held through the year.

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.

ling siblings. However, as the Paralowie Campus has had an increase in

Student Enrolment applications from other schools, it is essential that we

know whether your child will be attending.

If it is your intention to send your child to Temple Christian College, Paral-

owie Campus in the future, please contact the school for an Application

Form. Whether your child has just started Reception or is currently in Year

6, if you do not submit an Application Form, a position cannot be

guaranteed, whether there is a sibling currently at the school or not.

This also applies to students attending Bethany Christian School.
