He wrote:
6 That's how God's Word vaults
across the skies from sunrise to
sunset, Melting ice, scorching
deserts, warming hearts to faith.
Psalm 19:6
(The Message translation)
He could see the effect of God on the
natural world from the rising of the sun to its
setting. He could see that the sun‟s journey
was not wasted; its warmth brought good
things to animals, livestock, plants and
people – in fact, it brought life! And he
knew that God‟s Word was having the
same effect on him, and on the lives of his
friends and family who believed in God.
God used this very idea when he sent Jesus
into the world. Jesus is the light of the
World. His love and acceptance can shine
into every part of us, even the dark parts
that we keep hidden from others. Jesus‟
light is life giving, bringing good things. It
sustains us, nourishes us, and illuminates
our path through everyday life. How
comforting and reassuring to know that the
light of Jesus is with us daily when we put
our trust in Him.
May God bless your week,
Kathryn
One of the things I love about my drive to
work is the beautiful sunrise and sunsets I get
to see. Their glory absolutely amazes me,
and I often wish I had a camera handy so I
could capture the brilliance. I especially love
sunrises on frosty mornings – the clear, crisp
whiteness shining and glowing in the
sunlight. One feature that has really stood
out this year, perhaps due to the number of
heavy frosts we‟ve had, has been the effect
of the sunlight on the frost as it lies on the
ground. As the sun‟s warming rays hits the
frost, it melts away. However anything that is
in shadow, for instance the area that is
blocked by a tree, remains frosty. You can
clearly see the exact shape of the tree drawn
on the ground in frost, right down to
branches and clusters of leaves. Gradually
though, the warmth of the sun has effect on
even the hidden areas that the sun doesn‟t
directly touch, and the frost melts completely.
How powerful dawn‟s sunlight rays are to
achieve this.
In the Bible David, the writer of Psalm 19:6
describes a similar effect. As a shepherd he
would have seen many sunrises and sunsets,
and seen the effect of the warming sun on
both the animals he tended and the grass he
relied on to feed his stock. His comparison
though, was comparing this to the effect that
God‟s Word has.

Last term a survey was conducted to find out the school community‟s
wishes in relation to having a canteen back at St Jakobi. The following
was found:
60.7% families provided feedback about the canteen.
91.1% of respondents were in favour of having the canteen
The most favoured days to have the canteen were Friday
followed by Monday
Respondents favoured lunches as a higher priority than recess
foods
44% were in favour of a parent café, 51% were not.
41% said they would be prepared to help voluntarily to support
the canteen, 25% said they were unable to help, and 29% said
they might help if the date was suitable
In response to this feedback from our school community School Council
has decided to re-introduce the Canteen to St Jakobi, as a service to
school families. Mrs Sherree Hoffmann, a parent of the school, will be
the Canteen Manager. It will run from the Doecke Kitchen in the new
building, offering this exciting service on Mondays and Fridays. The
Canteen will operate under the South Australian Governments Right Bite
healthy eating system. Mrs Hoffmann is currently updating the necessary
qualifications, and visiting other canteens, finalising policies and working
out menus. The canteen will definitely be ready for Term 4, 2011, but it
is hoped it will be ready for operations before the end of Term 3. At this
stage the idea of a Parent Café is on hold. Stay tuned for further
announcements from our new Canteen Manager, Sheree!!

Headlice Check
Many thanks for your support once again for the School Managed
Head Lice Program. It is wonderful to be able to share with you that at
the last check, we were down to 1.07% evidence of head lice or eggs;
we are winning the battle together! Don‟t forget to notify the school if a
bout of head lice occurs in between school checks, so that we can alert
other parents to check hair, and let school hairdressers know that any
eggs found at the next check are old, treated eggs.
Airshow T-shirts need to be in to the Front
Office by this Friday, 12th of
August, for the date
adjustment. Thank you

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
The Premiers Reading Challenge ends Friday the 9th of
September. Please encourage students to get busy
reading. If you need some book ideas please visit the
website at www.premiersreadingchallenge.sa.edu.au
After School Sports
After School Sports begins this week with Athletics this Tuesday followed by Tennis on Wednesday. Children may bring clothes
and sneakers to change into on Wednesday (Tuesday is sports uniform) and meet by the old computer room after school with
their schools bags.
If your child is not able to join in for any of the sessions can you please either let their class teacher know or Mr Lange so that
they can be marked off the roll.
Parents who have not yet returned their medical form and/or help roster notice should do so as soon as possible so that a roster
can be finalised.
We look forward to some great skill development and fun in the next 7 weeks of this term‟s program.
Ian Lange, AASC coordinator
In Week 2, students across the school completed art
activities with their siblings. Artworks will be made into
Christmas cards and sold as a fundraiser later in the
year.
2/3 Miss Juers Class News
Year 1/2 and Year 2/3 students conducted an
experiment within their unit of inquiry about water. They
used evaporation to make „clean‟ water from salty
water. Wow!
Year 2/3 visited the Southern Barossa Community Child
Care Centre in Week 2. School students worked with
the children to create their own version of Mem Fox‟s
“Where is the Green Sheep?”.

As per Government requirements, the school has compiled
the data of grades given in each curriculum area for each
year level. If you would like a copy of the comparative
grades for your child‟s year level, please contact the front
office to request it be sent home. Many thanks to those
families who have returned portfolios to the school. If you
have not yet had a chance to do so, could you please
return them as soon as possible. If you would like to discuss
any aspect of your child‟s report, please do not hesitate to
contact the class teacher.
After 10 years of service to the Lyndoch parish, Pastor
Jim will be farewelled this Sunday. It is fitting that we
too, at the school, farewell Pastor Jim, and thank him
for the loyalty and support that he has shown the
school during that time. Pastor Jim will be farewelled
during and after Worship on Friday, 26th August,
followed by a morning tea in his honour. We do
hope that you are able to join us whilst we recognise
and acknowledge Jim‟s contribution to and advocacy
for St Jakobi Lutheran School.
Reports & Portfolios Pastor Jim’s Farewell
Hi everyone and welcome to term 3!
Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to all those
wonderful people who have been cooking meals
and making goodies for our families. There have
been so many grateful people; words cannot say
what your kindness and support means to those
families who have received goodies.
However, having said that, don‟t give up cooking
yet! There is still two terms to go and our current
freezer stocks are low. If you have some spare time it
would be great if you could drop a meal into our
freezer, located in the kitchen in the Valley of Hope
Centre. Please ensure that your meal is labelled with
its name, the date cooked and the ingredients used –
thankyou.
If you would like to help us out and are unsure as to
what to cook or where to leave it, please speak to
either myself or your Class Carer.
Once again, thanks for your support.
This term we are asking families from Miss Juers and
Mr Lange/Mrs Ahrens‟ class to donate meals.
However, you can still donate a meal even if your
child isn‟t in either of these classes, basically the
more meals the more help we can offer!
Regards
Jo Herrmann (Class Carer Coordinator)
Class Carer News Michael Salmon Visit
Michael Salmon visited the school and showed off his
cartooning talents, even creating caricatures of two
senior students.
National Lutheran Principal’s Conference
Mrs Krieg will be attending the 2011 National Lutheran
Principal‟s Conference from Sunday, 21st to Wednesday
24th August in Canberra. During this time Mr Ian Lange will
be in charge. Please see Ian for any urgent matters that

The Southern Barossa Scouts in association with Rotary are collecting ring pulls
from drink cans. The ring pulls are made from titanium and can be recycled to
assist in the provision of free prosthetic limbs for land mine victims in Thailand.
Removing the ring pull doesn‟t change the 10c recycle value of your cans. We
would love you to start saving your ring pulls and they can be forwarded to the
scouts via Karlson Jaensch Class 2/3 Juers or any other scouts at our school.
