VOLUME XXX No 14 20th September, 2013

FROM THE HEAD OF COLLEGE YEAR 12 CLASS 2013 FORMAL DINNER Extracts from Speech Tonight we gather to farewell you, with every good wish for your HSC success and future happiness. Mrs Katsogiannis, Principal of the Senior School and I, would like to thank the Reverend Father Steven Scoutas and Father Sotiri, for their spiritual guidance to you, and the Parish President Mrs Sue Mayson and Board of Directors for their work as guardians of the school’s mission and ethos. We thank Mr Frank Kaldis, your Year Adviser for setting the highest standards for you, for his professionalism, hard work, and persistent, not to say relentless attention to your needs. Thank you Mr Kaldis. Our thanks also go to Mr Picardi, your Home Room teacher. He has been a wonderful support to Mr Kaldis and our Year 12 students. We express our gratitude to your Year 12 teachers for being there for every step of the way on your exciting HSC journey. I am proud to see 25 of your teachers here with us this evening. And this is not because you have never made a mistake or that there were not moments where they felt that you were a handful. Είμαστε εδώ διότι είστε τα δικά μας παιδιά, και σας αγαπάμε. You are ours and we love you. Your Junior School teachers are represented here by our Acting Principal Mrs Synesios and Infants Coordinator, Mrs Kipriotis. They are here as proud parents this evening as well as a teacher. We also acknowledge Mrs Mio who is here as a mother. To all our dear parents that have worked so hard to give you the best start in life and to make you into the fine young people you are today, we say congratulations, να σας ζήσουν; και να τα δείτε και να τα καμαρώσετε όπως επιθυμείτε.

I think we would all agree that we are truly blessed in

our Principal of the Senior School Mrs Katsogiannis. I can think of no one we can so utterly and completely

trust with your education and moral upbringing.

We commend the Prefects for their leadership of the student body and acknowledge our College Captain Mathew Kambos, the Vice Captain Leonidas Andrew and Maria Mio, Senior Prefect, as well as our two Sports Captains Stephanie Pizanis and James Andrew. Your leadership has been outstanding. When we think of the Year 12 Class of 2013, what comes to mind is the big boys’ class with a small group of very strong - not to say formidable young women; that the students of this Class have a sense of loyalty to one another that is truly remarkable; in fact your code of silence, would put the Mafia to shame. We know you would do anything for your friends. And your team spirit is legendary. We also note that many of you are no strangers to misfortune and loss. You have already shouldered responsibilities in a way that brings honour to you and your families. And so you have a wisdom beyond your years, because you already know, that no one owes you an easy life and there is no one on God’s earth who hasn’t shed a tear. A Russian aristocrat, who had lost everything in the Revolution, was asked why he still had such a zest for life and such love of country. He said that the Russian soul never confuses living with life. Life is the joy that emanates from the beauty of nature, from music, from love of family, from sharing true friendship. It has nothing to do with what you own, what you eat, even what you suffer. I think we can say that we all identify with this perspective. Tonight my wish for you, η ευχή μου για σας, is that you live life in joyful gratitude, for what is freely given to us by God above. I pray that your faith will help you face every difficulty with integrity and determination; and I encourage you to cultivate a garden of serenity in your own hearts. We trust that at St Spyridon, together with your loving families, we have given you the strength of character to stand well, to stand for what is right and what is good, and to make a difference. Go out into the world and make it better for all of us my dear children. As you leave us, we pray you take happy memories with you, and that in turn, you leave some of your goodness here with us. May God and St Spyridon bless you and keep you safe. Thank you. Mrs E. Stefanou-Haag

J U N I O R S C H O O L R E P O R T With Term Three drawing to a close, I wish to thank and congratulate all the students for their hard work and dedication this Term. Their successes can be seen in their academic and sporting achievements but most importantly in their social interactions. For us as parents, our primary goal is for our children to be good people who demonstrate their Christian values through their love of others. I acknowledge that this is only possible with the support of parents who instil this in their children and with the purposeful and planned experiences prepared by the teachers so that students can experience and role play these situations in their Personal Development and Orthodox Studies lessons. Congratulations to the teachers, the Peer Support facilitators, Miss McCarthy and Mrs Economou and, the Year 6 students for the wonderful program on “Living Positively”. My thanks are also extended to the wonderful

P & F for their tireless fundraising, good humour and support of all that we do. Wishing you all a well-deserved break. FAREWELL This week we congratulated our Year 12 students who completed 13 years of schooling. The Senior School marks this milestone with three events; the 7 – 12 Student Assembly, the K -12 Doxology and the Formal Dinner. The smiles on the students’ faces said it all. They were blessed to have His Grace Bishop Iakovos officiating at the Doxology Service along with our Very Reverend Father Steven and Father Sotiri. At the conclusion of this service, the students were presented with The Orthodox Study Bible by His Grace. What greater blessing could we ask for our children. This is a fitting gift. My congratulations are extended to the Year 12 parents whom I have had the pleasure of sharing this journey with, as my daughter Constance is part of this cohort. I also wish to congratulate my co- workers Mrs Mio and Mrs Kipriotis for their children Maria and Theodore who also completed their secondary education. To Mrs Stefanou, Mrs Katsogiannis, Mr Kaldis and the Senior School staff, I extend the thanks of all the Year 12 parents for the love and guidance you have given our children and for ensuring that they become the best that they can be. To Year 12, I wish you continued good health, love and lots of happiness in your future lives. May you achieve your personal goals. I pray that the light of Christ and the love of St Spyridon guide you and protect you always. CONGRATULATIONS Our congratulations are extended to Mrs Liakatos and her husband Peter on the birth of their daughter Patricia. We wish them a long and happy life filled with many wonderful adventures. CONDOLENCES Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy is extended to our Head of College Mrs Stefanou-Haag, her husband Kevin and the Haag family on the recent passing of their sister-in-law and sister Ann. May Christ give

know, doing is demonstrating that you know it, teaching is reminding others that they know it as well as you do. We are all learners, doers,

UP COMING YEARLY EXAMINATIONS

All students and parents are reminded that in Week 5 of next Term all Middle School Students will sit Yearly Examinations in most subject areas. While it is important that students take a well-deserved break from their studies in the coming weeks, they should also take advantage of the opportunity to organize their papers, set up a study timetable and begin to prepare for the busy days ahead in Term 4.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ASSEMBLY

This Term’s assembly was hosted by two bubbly SRC’s Year 7, Felicity Ginis and Bianca Frazis. Though small in stature, they did a wonderful job in ensuring proceedings flowed seamlessly. Leadership roles such as this once again prove that when students are provided with opportunities to develop their skills, build their confidence and step up when faced with deadlines and challenges, they rise to the occasion. Well done girls! Congratulations and many thanks must also be extended to two Year 9 Middle School students who entertained us during the assembly: Patrick Langlands with his piano performance of the ABBA hit “Money, Money, Money” and Alexander Cardamis who played “The Piano” by Mychael Nyman.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP We begin next Term with two Leadership Development training days. The first will be for Year 9 on Thursday 10th October. It will focus on Peer Support and mentoring skills, while the second, for Year 11, is on Friday 11th October, and aims to prepare them for their new roles as the most Senior Student Leaders, and Prefects. Year 9 students will have received notes detailing these events this week and Year 11 via the mail. Please ensure notes are read and all money due is returned by the first day back next term, i.e., Tuesday 8th October, 2013. Ms G Kokinelis Dean of Middle SchooL

G R E E K C O L U M N Αγαπητοί γονείς και φίλοι, Στην έκδοση αυτή θα σας κρατήσουμε συντροφιά μόνο με φωτογραφίες των μαθητών της Β΄ Γυμνασίου από την πρόσφατη εκδρομή τους στο εστιατόριο «Μύθος», που βρίσκεται στο Λάικαρτ. Τα παιδιά παρέλαβε από το σχολείο ένα διώροφο μπλε λεωφορείο και με αυτό ταξίδεψαν ως το εστιατόριο ακούγοντας ελληνική μουσική και τραγούδια. Στη συνέχεια, τα 54 από τα 58 παιδιά αυτής της χρονιάς, που πήραν μέρος σ’ αυτή την εκδρομή, έφαγαν ελληνική σαλάτα με φέτα, ελιές, αγγουράκι και άλλα ζαρζαβατικά, ψωμί/πίτα και ταραμοσαλάτα, τζατζίκι, χαλούμι, σπανακοπιτάκια, καλαμαράκια, πατάτες τηγανητές, ψάρι και σουβλάκια κοτόπουλο και χοιρινό. Για γλυκό είχαν λουκουμάδες και φυσικά απεριόριστα αναψυκτικά. Μετά το φαγητό ακολούθησε χορός που ξεκίνησε στους ήχους του Ζορμπά. Στην συνέχεια χόρεψαν πολλούς ελληνικούς αλλά και μοντέρνους χορούς και πέρασαν μια πολύ όμορφη μέρα. Η εκδρομή αυτή γίνεται κάθε χρόνο με τους μαθητές της Β΄Γυμνασίου μέσα στα πλαίσια των ενοτήτων «Ας φάμε ελληνικά» και «Γιορτές και Τροφές».

NRL CLINICS The National Rugby League clinics involved all Year 6 students during Term 3. The clinics taught Year 6 about the rules and game of Touch Football. Blake was our NRL development officer. He coached Year 6 students along with Miss McCarthy, Mr Volas, Mrs Diavatiotis and Miss Robinson. The NRL clinic sessions were non-contact, skill based and a lot of fun. The focus of the clinics was to develop motor skills and movement. Year 6 students learned to negotiate rules and design our own game of Rugby League or League Tag. The sessions ended with a Gala Day at Kensington Oval between 8 teams of Year 6 students. The competition was fierce but fun! At the end of the Gala Day, Blake rewarded each player with a free football to take home! The NRL clinics were enjoyed by all the students and were worthwhile. This is because many of us love NRL and the clinics gave us the opportunity to play football! Our school should definitely continue to do the NRL Clinics in the future.

YEAR 3 EXCURSION TO THE MARITIME MUSEUM AND THE CHINESE GARDENS

On the 9th September 2013 Year Three went on an excursion to the Maritime Museum and the Chinese Gardens as part of our H.S.I.E unit People and Their Beliefs.

At the Maritime Museum, students were educated about different boats, ships and vessel used throughout history. They were given a tour of the museum and even went on a treasure hunt!

Ms Xenos Year 3S Class Teacher

“We learnt about lots of different things including cannons and how people used to use them! We also went on the James Craig ship and got to look for treasure!”

Taylysse Knight 3S “We went into the museum and saw an enormous anchor they used on ships, a cannon and even a stuffed shark! On the James Craig ship we learnt a lot of history about the boat and even went on a treasure hunt! We had a fantastic day and I can’t wait until I go back again with my family. Now I can say I have been the Maritime Museum and the Chinese Gardens”

Anastasia Lambrou 3S “We went into the Chinese Gardens and we saw a lot of nature. All of Year 3 used maps to get around the Gardens. We started at the top of the map and even took a photo in front of the Chinese temple. Then we had green tea and fortune cookie. Ms Xenos also threw a coin into the Dragon wall fountain and we all made a wish”

George Grillakis 3S

“Year Three got to see the Lake of Brightness, the Lotus Temple, the Dragon Tower and Sleeping Boy Buddha… My partner was Daniel for the day, I thought the day was wonderful!”

Lucas Leondaris 3S

“We had tea and a fortune cookie. The fortune cookie was very nice! I like the Chinese Gardens the best.” Daniel Guirguis 3S

We had a wonderful time going to both these venues and look forward to our next excursion!
