Volume 13, Issue 15 Friday, September 28, 2018 Dear School Family,

Welcome to the end of

Term 3! We’ve finished

off the final day with

Year 8, 9 and 10 Year

Level excursions to the

Ice Arena, Mega Courts

and the Beach House.

These events provide a great opportunity

for students to strengthen their bond as a

Year Level, and perhaps try something

they haven’t done before. Early next term

you will see some highlights from each

excursion.

Recently our two Head Prefects, Theresa

Aleppilly Biju and Luke Perrina, visited

Government House. The Governor hosted

a reception for senior secondary students,

as an opportunity for him to meet young

South Australians, and for the students to

visit Government House.

We also had a number of senior students

who had the opportunity to attend the

annual South Australian Prayer Breakfast

at the Adelaide Convention Centre, on

Thursday 20th September. It was an early

morning for them, leaving our campus at

6am, but a fantastic experience for them

to be able to attend such an event.

In the last newsletter I mentioned some

staff who are finishing with us at the end

of the year. I am pleased to announce that

Miss Laurie Rundle will be our new

Assistant Principal Student Development

from the beginning of 2019. Laurie has

been on staff with us for 6 years, has been

Year 8 Coordinator for 2 years, and

replaced Mr Hudson previously during his

Long Service Leave. Mrs Jessica Anthony

will be taking on the position of English

Coordinator, whilst maintaining her current

role as Coordinator of our Learning Hub.

Congratulations to both of these staff on

their appointments.

As we break for the holidays, we pray

God’s blessing on all of our families, and

particularly for our Year 12s who will need

to continue working through the holidays,

ready to finish classes at the end of Week

2 next term.

From Mr Marcel Rijken, who is

currently on the Cambodia Mis-

sions trip with Felicity Fanto, Han-

nah Alderman and Aurelia Czudek

(all in Year 11):

I write this piece from the village

region of Takeo in Cambodia. It is

surrounded by beautiful rice pad-

dies that give the illusion of an

idyllic life. The truth is very far from

this as rural Cambodia is very

poor. In this village is The Greater

Hope School, which has 700 stu-

dents. They are bringing the truth of the gospel and education. The quality of

what they provide contrasts sharply to the government schools. The locals

all really want their children in the Jesus school as they call it.

The last time I joined the trip was in 2012 and it is incredible to see the devel-

opment, but still overwhelmed by the great need. What I am most moved by

as we visit and work with the different ministries is the growth of Cambodians

helping Cambodians. It is an incredible encouragement to see the sacrifice

made by these locals to help their people. The path to a better future is

through education and to really tackle corruption. We would see the need for

a real move of God. The students have been exceptional throwing themselves wholeheartedly into every experience and

embracing what the trip is really about.

This is the 12th trip to Cambodia for Temple, and we have developed great worthwhile relationships over this time. I look

forward to continuing to grow these valuable relationships as we take teams each year.

Crochet Club The Crochet Club has been running for the past two terms with the help of Miss

Barton, Mrs Pavljuk and Mrs Saler. Meeting once a week in the Learning Hub,

the Crochet Club created a space for students and staff to learn new skills or

refine old ones. Beginners were taught some basics, and most students found

they wanted to keep crocheting at home.

My aim for the Crochet Club was to teach students to crochet and to produce as

many blankets as possible to donate to the Animal Welfare League. Thanks to

the Crochet Club and especially Mrs Pavljuk and Mrs Saler we exceeded expec-

tations.

On the 7th of September, Crochet Club members and students interested in ani-

mals or the AWL were invited to attend a special lunch time event. Maddie, an

AWL Representative visited our school, with her lovely rescue dog Lulu.

Maddie spoke to us about the role of the AWL and the importance of micro-

chipping and desexing. She told us that “the AWL care for over 12,000 animals

annually and last year adopted out 4,018 pets. Of the animals that enter into our

care only 2% are microchipped and of that only 33 % can be re-homed with their

owners due to incorrect microchip details.”

The AWL had just ran out of blankets for the animals, so it was amazing that we

could supply them with just under 90 small blanket squares that will be used to line pet baskets.

If you are interested in volunteering, donating or adopting a pet visit awl.org.au for more information!

This year, we have the amazing opportunity to partner with Operation Christmas Child

again! Last year we were so generous as a school and we would love to continue bless-

ing those in need.

For those that don’t know, Opera-

tion Christmas Child is a project

of Samaritan’s Purse. It partners

with schools and churches in

developing nations to reach out

to children by providing gift-filled

shoeboxes and bringing the

Good News of Jesus Christ. Op-

eration Christmas Child is an

opportunity to share Jesus’ love

and to bless a child through a

simple, gift-filled shoebox.

This is a great opportunity to be

involved and be generous. We

will be collecting the packed box-

es on Friday Week 2, Term 4.

Alice This year’s musical was educationally challenging for everyone involved, and at the same time, it was an incredibly re-

warding experience. Students rose to the challenges of learning complex choreography, harmonies, characterisation, team

work, building resilience, new skills, and for many, a new found confidence in themselves. I couldn’t have been prouder or

more honoured to work with our team of staff, volunteers, and beautiful students as they engaged in this project. Some of

the things students said they learned about themselves…

“I learnt that I can make friends. I didn’t know I could make new friends that easily.”

“I have confidence I didn’t have before.”

“I learnt that I can memorise things, and that I talked negatively about myself, but now I have a different attitude. When I

think I can’t do something, I now want to try, instead of telling myself I can’t do it.”

“I learnt that I can extend myself and be myself around other people instead of hiding in the corner.”

“I learnt that with confidence I can achieve something.”

Engagement in the Arts changes who we are. The Arts develop us as people. It’s simply a joy to see students trying new

things, and developing relationships with those they may not have ever engaged with before this process. Well done to

EVERYONE involved!

Year 9 Camp During Week 6, we took our Year 9s on a 4-day camp to Douglas Scrub Campsite, which is situated just outside of McLar-

en Vale. They were split into 6 teams (Agnew Army, Green Machines, Yeeaahh Deboys, The Walking Dents, Bananas in

Pyjamas & Burf’s Smurfs) and were engaged in various outdoor activities, many of which the majority of students were

undertaking for the first time. The camp comprises of a 1 ½ day bushwalk, where the students are required to carry all of

their supplies including a tent, Trangia (camp stove), food, water, clothes and sleeping bag and camp overnight in the for-

est; a half day surfing; half day kayaking down at Noarlunga; a billy cart building and racing session; and a mountain bik-

ing session. Such activities pushed many outside their comfort zones, but we couldn’t be prouder of the way they tackled

each challenge head on. There were no complaints and the students really bonded through the experience, lifting each

other up when it was needed.

I would also like to thank the amazing staff that gave up their homes, families and comforts to come and spend time with

us. Mr. Agnew, Mrs. Dadd, Miss Papanicolas, Mr. Pana, Mr. Burfield and Mr. Pitman (who no longer works at Temple but

arranged to come anyway, what a legend), thank you so much. Not only would it be impossible for me to run everything on

my own, but the love and encouragement that you have given to our students is invaluable and I’m sure they will treasure

the time you gave for years to come.

We saw some incredible growth in our students across the camp and I assure you there are plenty of incredible leaders

and team players within this group. The future of Temple Paralowie is looking very bright.

Thank you all for being so amazing!!!

Excursion to Kaladari Industries Design and Technology students have formed an exciting partnership with Kaladari Industries. In Term 3, students designed

components for the Unmanned Vehicle Engineering (UVE) Challenge and Concept 2 Creation (C2C) Project using industry

standard software in preparation for manufacture at the factory. Students were then able to attend the factory and watch

their components being made using metal laser cutting, CNC bending and powder coating processes.

Year 8/9 SACSA Soccer On Thursday of Week 8, the Year 8/9 boys

competed at the SACSA Soccer tourna-

ment at West Beach. The boys played

great football all day and were undefeated

in the group stage. A Semi-Final versing

Mile End saw them come out on top, win-

ning 1-0 and progressing to the Grand Fi-

nal against Endeavour College. Unfortu-

nately the boys came up short in the final,

losing 1-0 in a tight contest. It was a great

day of competition and our 8/9 boys should

be very proud of their achievements.

Staff/Student Netball On Monday of week 10, we held our annual

staff-student Netball game. Coming off a win

last year, staff were keen to retain their title

over the Year 12s. There was a lot of pride on

the line, so the stakes were high for both stu-

dents and staff. The students got out to a quick

lead in the first quarter, which they were able

to hold for most of the game. Throughout the

second and third quarter the staff were able to

make a comeback, levelling the score and

gaining a small lead. The final quarter saw a

strong performance from the Year 12s, scoring

some unanswered goals, which eventuated in

their win. Congratulations to the students on

their win! A big thankyou to Sports Captains

Astrid and Nathan for organising the student team, and to Brooke Fleming and Chelsea Joy for Umpiring.

NUT AWARENESS 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 anaphylac c reac on ‐‐ that is a reac on requiring an immediate injec on of adrenalin, ambulancea endance and hos‐

pitaliza on. 

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 theschool. The Canteen/Home Ec. has also under‐

taken the change. The school 

acknowledges that due to  food processing prac ces,  it  is  imprac cal  to eliminatenuts or nut products en rely  from an environ‐

ment where there is food. Thus"Nut Aware" School.

avenue through which to get to know and work alongside other parents. Together we make a difference in the life of

the school.

If you would like to join us, an invitation is extended to all interested parents and friends to join us at any of the

Parents and Friends meetings held through the year.
