Volume 14, Issue 14 Friday, September 13, 2019 Dear School Family,

Our annual Thanksgiving

Assembly was a wonderful

celebration and a great

opportunity to be thankful for

God’s incredible provision.

Our Prefects were able to thank the various

levels of Government, Associations, professional

services, groups and individuals who have

significantly contributed to the life of Temple. It

was a special time to honour Mr Brian Hagger

who retired as Headmaster of Temple in 2006.

He was recognised in the Australia Day honours

this year and also celebrated his 80th Birthday.

We also honoured and gave thanks for Mr Bruce

Robson our foundation Headmaster who passed

away in 2007. We thanked his family who were

represented by 2 of his children Mr Tim Robson

and Mrs Rebecca Fortunatow and his youngest

grandchild Eliza Fortunatow who is completing

Year 12. Being thankful is an important part of

our life in Christ. We are not necessarily thankful

for the situations we are in or circumstances that

are occurring around us. Life can be very difficult

and at times even tragic. In the midst of these

situations we can still be thankful for God’s never

ending love and grace in our lives. We can be

thankful that God is good all the time and that we

can trust Him. We are not thankful for all

situations but we can be thankful in all situations.

Our team for Cambodia will be leaving on

Monday,16 September, and will be away for 2

weeks. This year we have 21 students and 5

staff members. This year the team will be led by

Mr Brad Adams and the other staff members are

Mrs Tracy Montesi, Mrs Shannalee Mulder, Mr

Todd Purdy and Mr Mark Ryan. It was great to

be able to have the

team prayed for at

our Thanksgiving

Assembly. Please

pray for the team

over the next 2

weeks.

We have announced

the Prefect team for

2020 and also our

Music and Sports

Captains. It is really

encouraging to see

so many students

growing their leadership qualities. These Year 11

students will work with the current Prefects and

Captains for the remainder of the year and lead

the students when the Year 12 students finish at

the end of Week 2 in Term 4.

It has been a very exciting and busy fortnight in

the life of Temple. Our Science and Engineering

team competed in the State Super Challenge.

They worked exceptionally well as a team and

achieved an overall 2nd place.

Well done to all of our students and staff, Mr Kevin Marzahn, Mrs Louise Durrant and Mr Andrew Langmaid who were involved this year.

I really enjoyed connecting with families at our Year 7 and 8 Breakfast recently. It is always nice to be able to start the day with a hot breakfast

and a nice cup of coffee. Thank you to all the families that attended the morning and it was great to be able chat with many parents. I was

greatly encouraged by the conversations and parents really appreciated the opportunity to meet their child’s friends and their parents.

The term is drawing quickly to a close. Planning is well underway for next year as we have now received all the subject selections from

students who will be in Years 9 to 12 in 2020. Our current Year 12 students only have 2 weeks in Term 4 before they go on study leave

followed by their final externally set examinations. Please continue to pray for our Year 12 students as they complete their final assessment

tasks and prepare for their examinations. They have been a wonderful blessing throughout this year and great encouragers to the other

students. Marcel Rijken

Principal, Temple Christian College

2019 Staff Vs Student Netball Game

Congratulations to the teachers for winning back the crown. Staff Vs Student

Netball game winners for 2019! Staff versed the Year 12 Students in the

annual, and very competitive game. Beautiful weather conditions allowed for a

great game. With a strong staff team and a determined student team the

afternoon game was an enjoyable one to play in and watch. Final scores were

33 to 13. Well done to everyone who participated.

Year 7/8 Breakfast

On Thursday of Week 7, Year 7 and 8 students and their families arrived at

school for a 7:30 am breakfast. The Parents and Friends team and Mrs

Enright, our canteen manager, arrived even earlier than that to prepare a

delicious breakfast that offered something for everyone; fresh fruit,

croissants, pancakes, quiche, juice, and of course the coffee machine was

in operation and the baristas kept very busy throughout the breakfast. It

was a great opportunity for parents, teachers and students to mingle in a

more relaxed environment, while enjoying great breakfast food at the same

time.

Thank you to the families and teachers that came, the Parents and Friends

Group and Mrs Enright for preparing the food. We were very thankful for

having Lucy and Jackson Winkley around in the morning to help set up,

and for having some enthusiastic students who came into school early to

make coffee for the breakfast; Toby Wenzel, Zak Collingwood, Zac Boyd

and Jonathan Bleby.

It was an enjoyable time of community and a great way to start the day!

INSIDE OUT’S 2019 WINTER

VOLUME OF POETRY: LIFE, LOVE,

LAUGHTER

We are now celebrating our second year as a poetry group at

Temple Christian College. Please take the opportunity to read

the copy of Life. Love. Laughter in the SLH. During the first

semester, we focused on poetry that expressed something of

love and of the situations that bring much-needed humour into

our lives.

We experimented with free verse, cinquains, limericks and

humorous narrative verses following a formula. It was all good

fun. We have only been a handful because of so many

competing activities and rehearsals, but we have still managed

to produce the second Winter Volume of our Inside Out

anthologies, giving an overview of the poetry we have been

exploring. Along the way, we have been able to enjoy the

works of other poets and appreciate the way they have been

crafted to provide us with so much reading pleasure and

become a catalyst for our poetic experimentation.

We would be delighted to welcome any new students into our

midst for the remainder of the year. You would have the

opportunity of making your writing more powerful as you try

new forms of poetry and learn to express your own thoughts

and feelings in a way that evokes a response from others. If

you are already a poet, be assured you would have an

attentive and appreciative audience for your talent and the

opportunity to develop your skills further. Please come and

join us every second Wednesday (on the even weeks of the

term) in WF6.

Year 9 Geography Excursion – Adelaide Oval

Throughout Term 3, Year 9 Geography students have been studying a unit

on the Geographies of Interconnections. This unit explores the

interconnections people create through places and spaces, technology and

transport. From analysing the impact of social media and electromagnetic

frequencies (WiFi and mobile phones) to the massive changes in transport

that have occurred over the last century, students have enjoyed developing

an understanding of the complex networks humans create across time and

space.

As part of their studies, Yr. 9 Geography students embarked on an

excursion to the city and in addition to investigating the Riverbank Precinct,

had a tour of Adelaide Oval. It was a fantastic way to gain an insight into the

connections made by this arena through sport and events that

accommodate and entertain interstate and overseas guests and spectators.

Students enjoyed walking through the football and cricket rooms, the

journalists area, the heritage scoreboard, and even got to experience the

feeling of walking out to the ground complete with a sound system

replicating crowd cheers!

Geography is a fantastic subject that explores the way that we interact with

the world around us. Excursions such as this make learning memorable and

are a great way to gain a greater understanding of God’s world in which we

live.

Andrew Lang, Geography Coordinator

2019 Science & Engineering Super Challenge Competition

The Super Challenge competition was held on Thursday 29th of

August. This state Super Challenge final was held at Titanium Security

Stadium, Findon. The student group knew what the activities for the

day would be, but each of the four person teams were randomly

allocated to the full day and half-day activities. Following an official

welcome, the individual colour teams were selected for the respective

tasks.

Each of the colour teams once again worked exceptionally well

throughout the day to achieve an outstanding overall result.

The final scores were:

Cummins Area School 1400

Temple Christian College 1205

Urrbrae Agricultural High School 1154

Claire High School 891

Blackwood High School 861

Glossop High School 784

Pedare Christian College 807

Tenison Woods College 760

The individual challenges for the day were:

The Bridge Flatpack Confounding Communications Stringways Grasping at Straws Future Power Return to Mars

Helter Skelter Shelter

For the morning half-day activities, the teams for Temple came first for

Stringways, Return to Mars and Helter Skelter Shelter. Second place

for Grasping at Straws and third for Future Power. For the afternoon

activities, Temple came first for the Confounding Communications and

second for the Stringways activities. As for the whole day activities,

the Bridge team and the Flat-Pack teams came fourth.

Gaining second place in South Australia in such a prestigious national

competition is an outstanding achievement. The Temple team has

now managed to secure a place in the Super Challenge in three

consecutive years. Mrs Durant, Mr. Langmaid and I were impressed in

the manner in which all team members conducted themselves: Their

focus and commitment to each challenge task was admirable.

Many thanks to all of the parents who encouraged their children to do

well in the competition.

Thanks must also go to the University of Newcastle, The Rotary Club

of Adelaide and to Ruth Conry, the South Australian local organiser of

the Challenge.
