Volunteering

When people consider volunteer work they often think of the benefits of others first That is focusing on who the work is directed towards and the benefits they gain It is great to give to those in need in our community through our time resources and energy

Research clearly shows that there are numerous benefits to those who are volunteering Some of these includebull Building stronger connections and relationships with others through collaboration and cooperationbull Feeling happier and being part of lsquoemotional contagionrsquo in the spreading of positivity and generosity towards othersbull Improved mental health through counteracting things such as stress anger and anxiety and leading to lower blood

pressure and some relief from things such as depression and chronic painbull Strengthening of skills that can be helpful in future work environmentsbull Increased self-confidence gained through trying new things out and working with different people in different locationsbull Finding a sense of purpose in being part of a larger group with a common purpose

Over the last couple of weeks I have been learning about the volunteer work done by many of our students It is so encouraging learning of the diversity of organisations and initiatives they have become committed to Two of our students who enjoy volunteering in our community are described below

James Phillips in Year 11 is part of the NSW Rural Fire Service ndash Valley Heights Branch James joined in 2018 During this time he has completed training in the areas of safe practices first aid and use of equipment Recently he has been part of their fundraising activities with a door knock weekend and Bunnings BBQ These activities helped James to promote the need to be prepared and have a fire plan in place James says that the best thing about volunteering is how the community appreciates his time and effort

Daena Madon in Year 9 volunteers with St Johnrsquos Ambulance Service She has been part of their team of volunteers since she was 11 years old Daena assists with the training of younger members in the areas of first aid She has a leadership role where she encourages others and helps in the organisation of events With this work she has learnt valuable first aid skills people management skills and improved her communication techniques Daena enjoys volunteering with St Johnrsquos because she enjoys and values helping others

Year 4 Camp

The Vine - Issue No 15 2019

Year 4 and Growth Mindset on their camp to Port Hacking

Year 4 used their Growth Mindsets on our camp to Port Hacking in Term 3 They enjoyed learning new things and overcoming new challenges with the help of other group members leaders and teachers The challenges they faced in each and every activity made them stronger they used their mistakes as opportunities learnt from feedback they were given from others and their leaders and they kept trying until they succeeded whatever that looked like They had new challenges to overcome they werenrsquot afraid to fail and were certainly inspired by others

Catapults by Carissa AzopardiOur group leaderrsquos name was Hayden He was fun helped us stay safe and encouraged us all with each activities One of the camp activities we did was the catapults We were in two groups and we had to build our catapult in our groups We had an amazing time building together and I enjoyed being the group leader We all worked together as a team helped each other and laughed a lot We played a game using the catapults which entailed putting balls bean bags or a rubber chicken into the sling to shoot into the target The rubber chicken was by far the funniest of all Just ask Abigail

Pool Canoeing by Luka SikavicaAt camp we went pool canoeing Canoeing was a new challenge for me because I had never done it before We sat in a canoe with a group of 3 people and I sat at the back When we were paddling we had to work as a team so that we didnrsquot go round in circles I also really enjoyed sailing but I had to be brave when I was leaning at the front of the sail boat because I was sitting at the edge and I could have easily fallen off My friends inspired me to steer the sailing boat and we all encouraged each other to step out of our comfort zone

Christian Discovery by Meg Marshall

Christian discovery was fun and we played games and sang songs We played a game where the leaders said a colour or something you had for breakfast and if you had you stay standing and if you didnrsquot then you sit down The last one left was the winner Our winners were Owen Kelly and Ethan Yusuf The song that we sang was one of our favourites rsquoJesus yoursquore my superherorsquo There were 4 superhero groups and whichever superhero was your favourite you went into that group My favourite was Wonder Woman We then went back into our activity groups and made our superhero craft The craft had a memory verse of John 316 on the back ldquoFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have eternal liferdquo Jesus is certainly MY Super hero

Christian Discovery by Hannah Danyal

Christian Discovery was awesome we played a game we sang songs and we learnt that God is the best super hero ever We discussed what we learnt and about how Jesus come down to earth to take away our sins We went into our activity groups to make our super hero craft that had the memory verse John 316 on the back The craft had with a paddle pop stick holding it up It was a really fun activity

Rock climbing by Siola Ofa At camp rock climbing was really fun but also challenging We had to set a goal that we wanted to pass on the climbing wall I set a goal of going half way up the wall I got past my goal because lots of people were cheering me on Year 4 was really kind and kept cheering me on and I ended up getting to the top of 2 walls which was pretty epic Best of all was when we cheered on my friend Mahli She got higher and higher and got past her goal too which was really nice to see I knew she was scared but she kept going In rock climbing we all had to be in groups and we had to all work together to get the person up the wall We had to use calls for everyone to do the right thing at the right time It was great to work at a team

Year 3 Camp

The Vine - Issue No 15 2019

Mangrove IslandThe boat trip to the Mangrove Island was great At the island we caught crabs and raced them in a circle We built sandcastles to see if it is low or high tide We licked mangrove leaves and went into the water

BushwalkWe made damper and tea on the fire on the bushwalk and found lots of sticks

NavigationWe learnt about some new animals that live in the wild We played navigation games in groups of three or four to find 15 tags to finish the game and do more challenges

Food that we ateLamingtons cookies fruit vegies bread It was a fantastic day

Can you guess the clues to the Mystery Reader

During Term 3 Pre-K White have been discovering in depth important people who work in our college Over the last two weeks Pre-K White have been using their investigating skills to ask and answer questions in order to figure out who the ldquoMystery Readerrdquo might be

In week 9 the children followed clues which landed them in Mrs Grimarsquos office and she read us a book called ldquoThe Red Bookrdquo by Matt and Beck Stanton This book helped us to be able to think outside the box and develop our questioning skills

During week 10 the ldquoMasked Readerrdquo surprised Pre-K White and read us two of his favourite books from when he was a child He read us ldquoThe Very Sleepy Bearrdquo By Nick Bland We learnt that Mr Nott likes to sleep and the book also taught us more about Rhyming words Mr Nott also read us ldquoToo Many Elephants in Our Houserdquo by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner The children enjoyed this book and loved imagining what could happen in a house filled with elephants

27 September 2019

Dear Parents and Carers

2019 PampF COLOUR RUN

The Penrith Anglican College Parents and Friendsrsquo Association (PampF) will be hosting its inaugural Colour Run on Tuesday 12 November 2019

The PampF will use this event to help raise funds to go toward the fit-out of a commercial kitchen in the hospitality area of the new Performing Arts Centre building The total cost of this fit-out is estimated to be $100 000 the PampFrsquos goal is to raise $35000 toward this cost

The new commercial kitchen will provide our Hospitality students with access to first class facilities while also enabling the school to rent out the hospitality space bringing in further funds for resources to help support the education of our children

To take part and support the Colour run we are asking $20 per child for entry to help us reach our goal of $35 000 We are off to a great start thanks to our Sponsors of the event The $20 can be raised by sponsorship from friend or family with a minimum total donation of $20 Each familyrsquos support is greatly appreciated and will help to further the success of our children

During the Colour Run students will run walk or crawl through an obstacle course and pass through colour checkpoints The coloured powder is safe (cornflour based)

Mufti-day dress is required (with usual College dress code) Students are encouraged to wear white as this shows the colours well The colour washes out easily however we recommend students not wear good clothes or shoes

Students will be issued with a pair of bright colour sunglasses to protect their eyes and will be rewarded with a frozen ice block at the completion of the course

Parents family and friends are encouraged to attend on the day to cheer on the students

A photo booth will be set up for you to capture a photo of your colour covered child at the end of the run

In the event of inclement weather please refer to the PampF Facebook page

Year 4 used their Growth Mindsets on our camp to Port Hacking in Term 3 They enjoyed learning new things and overcoming new challenges with the help of other group members leaders and teachers The challenges they faced in each and every activity made them stronger they used their mistakes as opportunities learnt from feedback they were given from others and their leaders and they kept trying until they succeeded whatever that looked like They had new challenges to overcome they werenrsquot afraid to fail and were certainly inspired by others

Catapults by Carissa AzopardiOur group leaderrsquos name was Hayden He was fun helped us stay safe and encouraged us all with each activities One of the camp activities we did was the catapults We were in two groups and we had to build our catapult in our groups We had an amazing time building together and I enjoyed being the group leader We all worked together as a team helped each other and laughed a lot We played a game using the catapults which entailed putting balls bean bags or a rubber chicken into the sling to shoot into the target The rubber chicken was by far the funniest of all Just ask Abigail

Pool Canoeing by Luka SikavicaAt camp we went pool canoeing Canoeing was a new challenge for me because I had never done it before We sat in a canoe with a group of 3 people and I sat at the back When we were paddling we had to work as a team so that we didnrsquot go round in circles I also really enjoyed sailing but I had to be brave when I was leaning at the front of the sail boat because I was sitting at the edge and I could have easily fallen off My friends inspired me to steer the sailing boat and we all encouraged each other to step out of our comfort zone

Christian Discovery by Meg Marshall

Christian discovery was fun and we played games and sang songs We played a game where the leaders said a colour or something you had for breakfast and if you had you stay standing and if you didnrsquot then you sit down The last one left was the winner Our winners were Owen Kelly and Ethan Yusuf The song that we sang was one of our favourites rsquoJesus yoursquore my superherorsquo There were 4 superhero groups and whichever superhero was your favourite you went into that group My favourite was Wonder Woman We then went back into our activity groups and made our superhero craft The craft had a memory verse of John 316 on the back ldquoFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have eternal liferdquo Jesus is certainly MY Super hero

Can you guess the clues to the Mystery Reader

During Term 3 Pre-K White have been discovering in depth important people who work in our college Over the last two weeks Pre-K White have been using their investigating skills to ask and answer questions in order to figure out who the ldquoMystery Readerrdquo might be

In week 9 the children followed clues which landed them in Mrs Grimarsquos office and she read us a book called ldquoThe Red Bookrdquo by Matt and Beck Stanton This book helped us to be able to think outside the box and develop our questioning skills

During week 10 the ldquoMasked Readerrdquo surprised Pre-K White and read us two of his favourite books from when he was a child He read us ldquoThe Very Sleepy Bearrdquo By Nick Bland We learnt that Mr Nott likes to sleep and the book also taught us more about Rhyming words Mr Nott also read us ldquoToo Many Elephants in Our Houserdquo by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner The children enjoyed this book and loved imagining what could happen in a house filled with elephants

Dear Parents and Carers

2019 PampF COLOUR RUN

The Penrith Anglican College Parents and Friendsrsquo Association (PampF) will be hosting its inaugural Colour Run on Tuesday 12 November 2019

The PampF will use this event to help raise funds to go toward the fit-out of a commercial kitchen in the hospitality area of the new Performing Arts Centre building The total cost of this fit-out is estimated to be $100 000 the PampFrsquos goal is to raise $35000 toward this cost

The new commercial kitchen will provide our Hospitality students with access to first class facilities while also enabling the school to rent out the hospitality space bringing in further funds for resources to help support the education of our children

To take part and support the Colour run we are asking $20 per child for entry to help us reach our goal of $35 000 We are off to a great start thanks to our Sponsors of the event The $20 can be raised by sponsorship from friend or family with a minimum total donation of $20 Each familyrsquos support is greatly appreciated and will help to further the success of our children

During the Colour Run students will run walk or crawl through an obstacle course and pass through colour checkpoints The coloured powder is safe (cornflour based)

Mufti-day dress is required (with usual College dress code) Students are encouraged to wear white as this shows the colours well The colour washes out easily however we recommend students not wear good clothes or shoes

Students will be issued with a pair of bright colour sunglasses to protect their eyes and will be rewarded with a frozen ice block at the completion of the course

Parents family and friends are encouraged to attend on the day to cheer on the students

A photo booth will be set up for you to capture a photo of your colour covered child at the end of the run

Volunteering

When people consider volunteer work they often think of the benefits of others first That is focusing on who the work is directed towards and the benefits they gain It is great to give to those in need in our community through our time resources and energy

Research clearly shows that there are numerous benefits to those who are volunteering Some of these includebull Building stronger connections and relationships with others through collaboration and cooperationbull Feeling happier and being part of lsquoemotional contagionrsquo in the spreading of positivity and generosity towards othersbull Improved mental health through counteracting things such as stress anger and anxiety and leading to lower blood

pressure and some relief from things such as depression and chronic painbull Strengthening of skills that can be helpful in future work environmentsbull Increased self-confidence gained through trying new things out and working with different people in different locationsbull Finding a sense of purpose in being part of a larger group with a common purpose

Over the last couple of weeks I have been learning about the volunteer work done by many of our students It is so encouraging learning of the diversity of organisations and initiatives they have become committed to Two of our students who enjoy volunteering in our community are described below

James Phillips in Year 11 is part of the NSW Rural Fire Service ndash Valley Heights Branch James joined in 2018 During this time he has completed training in the areas of safe practices first aid and use of equipment Recently he has been part of their fundraising activities with a door knock weekend and Bunnings BBQ These activities helped James to promote the need to be prepared and have a fire plan in place James says that the best thing about volunteering is how the community appreciates his time and effort

Daena Madon in Year 9 volunteers with St Johnrsquos Ambulance Service She has been part of their team of volunteers since she was 11 years old Daena assists with the training of younger members in the areas of first aid She has a leadership role where she encourages others and helps in the organisation of events With this work she has learnt valuable first aid skills people management skills and improved her communication techniques Daena enjoys volunteering with St Johnrsquos because she enjoys and values helping others

Year 4 Camp

The Vine - Issue No 15 2019

Year 4 and Growth Mindset on their camp to Port Hacking

Year 4 used their Growth Mindsets on our camp to Port Hacking in Term 3 They enjoyed learning new things and overcoming new challenges with the help of other group members leaders and teachers The challenges they faced in each and every activity made them stronger they used their mistakes as opportunities learnt from feedback they were given from others and their leaders and they kept trying until they succeeded whatever that looked like They had new challenges to overcome they werenrsquot afraid to fail and were certainly inspired by others

Catapults by Carissa AzopardiOur group leaderrsquos name was Hayden He was fun helped us stay safe and encouraged us all with each activities One of the camp activities we did was the catapults We were in two groups and we had to build our catapult in our groups We had an amazing time building together and I enjoyed being the group leader We all worked together as a team helped each other and laughed a lot We played a game using the catapults which entailed putting balls bean bags or a rubber chicken into the sling to shoot into the target The rubber chicken was by far the funniest of all Just ask Abigail

Pool Canoeing by Luka SikavicaAt camp we went pool canoeing Canoeing was a new challenge for me because I had never done it before We sat in a canoe with a group of 3 people and I sat at the back When we were paddling we had to work as a team so that we didnrsquot go round in circles I also really enjoyed sailing but I had to be brave when I was leaning at the front of the sail boat because I was sitting at the edge and I could have easily fallen off My friends inspired me to steer the sailing boat and we all encouraged each other to step out of our comfort zone

Christian Discovery by Meg Marshall

Christian discovery was fun and we played games and sang songs We played a game where the leaders said a colour or something you had for breakfast and if you had you stay standing and if you didnrsquot then you sit down The last one left was the winner Our winners were Owen Kelly and Ethan Yusuf The song that we sang was one of our favourites rsquoJesus yoursquore my superherorsquo There were 4 superhero groups and whichever superhero was your favourite you went into that group My favourite was Wonder Woman We then went back into our activity groups and made our superhero craft The craft had a memory verse of John 316 on the back ldquoFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have eternal liferdquo Jesus is certainly MY Super hero

Christian Discovery by Hannah Danyal

Christian Discovery was awesome we played a game we sang songs and we learnt that God is the best super hero ever We discussed what we learnt and about how Jesus come down to earth to take away our sins We went into our activity groups to make our super hero craft that had the memory verse John 316 on the back The craft had with a paddle pop stick holding it up It was a really fun activity

Rock climbing by Siola Ofa At camp rock climbing was really fun but also challenging We had to set a goal that we wanted to pass on the climbing wall I set a goal of going half way up the wall I got past my goal because lots of people were cheering me on Year 4 was really kind and kept cheering me on and I ended up getting to the top of 2 walls which was pretty epic Best of all was when we cheered on my friend Mahli She got higher and higher and got past her goal too which was really nice to see I knew she was scared but she kept going In rock climbing we all had to be in groups and we had to all work together to get the person up the wall We had to use calls for everyone to do the right thing at the right time It was great to work at a team

Mangrove IslandThe boat trip to the Mangrove Island was great At the island we caught crabs and raced them in a circle We built sandcastles to see if it is low or high tide We licked mangrove leaves and went into the water

BushwalkWe made damper and tea on the fire on the bushwalk and found lots of sticks

NavigationWe learnt about some new animals that live in the wild We played navigation games in groups of three or four to find 15 tags to finish the game and do more challenges

Food that we ateLamingtons cookies fruit vegies bread It was a fantastic day

Can you guess the clues to the Mystery Reader

During Term 3 Pre-K White have been discovering in depth important people who work in our college Over the last two weeks Pre-K White have been using their investigating skills to ask and answer questions in order to figure out who the ldquoMystery Readerrdquo might be

In week 9 the children followed clues which landed them in Mrs Grimarsquos office and she read us a book called ldquoThe Red Bookrdquo by Matt and Beck Stanton This book helped us to be able to think outside the box and develop our questioning skills

During week 10 the ldquoMasked Readerrdquo surprised Pre-K White and read us two of his favourite books from when he was a child He read us ldquoThe Very Sleepy Bearrdquo By Nick Bland We learnt that Mr Nott likes to sleep and the book also taught us more about Rhyming words Mr Nott also read us ldquoToo Many Elephants in Our Houserdquo by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner The children enjoyed this book and loved imagining what could happen in a house filled with elephants

Year 4 used their Growth Mindsets on our camp to Port Hacking in Term 3 They enjoyed learning new things and overcoming new challenges with the help of other group members leaders and teachers The challenges they faced in each and every activity made them stronger they used their mistakes as opportunities learnt from feedback they were given from others and their leaders and they kept trying until they succeeded whatever that looked like They had new challenges to overcome they werenrsquot afraid to fail and were certainly inspired by others

Catapults by Carissa AzopardiOur group leaderrsquos name was Hayden He was fun helped us stay safe and encouraged us all with each activities One of the camp activities we did was the catapults We were in two groups and we had to build our catapult in our groups We had an amazing time building together and I enjoyed being the group leader We all worked together as a team helped each other and laughed a lot We played a game using the catapults which entailed putting balls bean bags or a rubber chicken into the sling to shoot into the target The rubber chicken was by far the funniest of all Just ask Abigail

Pool Canoeing by Luka SikavicaAt camp we went pool canoeing Canoeing was a new challenge for me because I had never done it before We sat in a canoe with a group of 3 people and I sat at the back When we were paddling we had to work as a team so that we didnrsquot go round in circles I also really enjoyed sailing but I had to be brave when I was leaning at the front of the sail boat because I was sitting at the edge and I could have easily fallen off My friends inspired me to steer the sailing boat and we all encouraged each other to step out of our comfort zone

Christian Discovery by Meg Marshall

Christian discovery was fun and we played games and sang songs We played a game where the leaders said a colour or something you had for breakfast and if you had you stay standing and if you didnrsquot then you sit down The last one left was the winner Our winners were Owen Kelly and Ethan Yusuf The song that we sang was one of our favourites rsquoJesus yoursquore my superherorsquo There were 4 superhero groups and whichever superhero was your favourite you went into that group My favourite was Wonder Woman We then went back into our activity groups and made our superhero craft The craft had a memory verse of John 316 on the back ldquoFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have eternal liferdquo Jesus is certainly MY Super hero

Christian Discovery by Hannah Danyal

Christian Discovery was awesome we played a game we sang songs and we learnt that God is the best super hero ever We discussed what we learnt and about how Jesus come down to earth to take away our sins We went into our activity groups to make our super hero craft that had the memory verse John 316 on the back The craft had with a paddle pop stick holding it up It was a really fun activity

Rock climbing by Siola Ofa At camp rock climbing was really fun but also challenging We had to set a goal that we wanted to pass on the climbing wall I set a goal of going half way up the wall I got past my goal because lots of people were cheering me on Year 4 was really kind and kept cheering me on and I ended up getting to the top of 2 walls which was pretty epic Best of all was when we cheered on my friend Mahli She got higher and higher and got past her goal too which was really nice to see I knew she was scared but she kept going In rock climbing we all had to be in groups and we had to all work together to get the person up the wall We had to use calls for everyone to do the right thing at the right time It was great to work at a team

Mangrove IslandThe boat trip to the Mangrove Island was great At the island we caught crabs and raced them in a circle We built sandcastles to see if it is low or high tide We licked mangrove leaves and went into the water

BushwalkWe made damper and tea on the fire on the bushwalk and found lots of sticks

NavigationWe learnt about some new animals that live in the wild We played navigation games in groups of three or four to find 15 tags to finish the game and do more challenges

Food that we ateLamingtons cookies fruit vegies bread It was a fantastic day

Can you guess the clues to the Mystery Reader

During Term 3 Pre-K White have been discovering in depth important people who work in our college Over the last two weeks Pre-K White have been using their investigating skills to ask and answer questions in order to figure out who the ldquoMystery Readerrdquo might be

In week 9 the children followed clues which landed them in Mrs Grimarsquos office and she read us a book called ldquoThe Red Bookrdquo by Matt and Beck Stanton This book helped us to be able to think outside the box and develop our questioning skills

During week 10 the ldquoMasked Readerrdquo surprised Pre-K White and read us two of his favourite books from when he was a child He read us ldquoThe Very Sleepy Bearrdquo By Nick Bland We learnt that Mr Nott likes to sleep and the book also taught us more about Rhyming words Mr Nott also read us ldquoToo Many Elephants in Our Houserdquo by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner The children enjoyed this book and loved imagining what could happen in a house filled with elephants

The following superstars duelled it out in the ultimate battle of wits

Students (Affirmative) Staff (Opposing) Robert Bordignon Mr Kobus Jordan Goehner-Drewe Mr Wright Anika Leydon Mr McIntyre Joeseph Carbone Mrs Duxbury

After a passionate often hilarious and close debate the teachers arguing for the negative narrowly defeated the students

Year 12 Challenge to Staff

During their last few weeks at the College it is tradition for Year 12 to challenge staff to a number of events

On Thursday 19 September the College had the privilege of seeing Year 12 students and staff go head to head in the inaugural Student vs Staff Debate The topic was ldquoBeing a student is tougher now than it was 30 years agordquo

The following superstars duelled it out in the ultimate battle of wits

Students (Affirmative) Staff (Opposing) Robert Bordignon Mr Kobus Jordan Goehner-Drewe Mr Wright Anika Leydon Mr McIntyre Joeseph Carbone Mrs Duxbury

After a passionate often hilarious and close debate the teachers arguing for the negative narrowly defeated the students

Year 4 and Growth Mindset on their camp to Port Hacking

Year 4 used their Growth Mindsets on our camp to Port Hacking in Term 3 They enjoyed learning new things and overcoming new challenges with the help of other group members leaders and teachers The challenges they faced in each and every activity made them stronger they used their mistakes as opportunities learnt from feedback they were given from others and their leaders and they kept trying until they succeeded whatever that looked like They had new challenges to overcome they werenrsquot afraid to fail and were certainly inspired by others

Catapults by Carissa AzopardiOur group leaderrsquos name was Hayden He was fun helped us stay safe and encouraged us all with each activities One of the camp activities we did was the catapults We were in two groups and we had to build our catapult in our groups We had an amazing time building together and I enjoyed being the group leader We all worked together as a team helped each other and laughed a lot We played a game using the catapults which entailed putting balls bean bags or a rubber chicken into the sling to shoot into the target The rubber chicken was by far the funniest of all Just ask Abigail

Pool Canoeing by Luka SikavicaAt camp we went pool canoeing Canoeing was a new challenge for me because I had never done it before We sat in a canoe with a group of 3 people and I sat at the back When we were paddling we had to work as a team so that we didnrsquot go round in circles I also really enjoyed sailing but I had to be brave when I was leaning at the front of the sail boat because I was sitting at the edge and I could have easily fallen off My friends inspired me to steer the sailing boat and we all encouraged each other to step out of our comfort zone

Christian Discovery by Meg Marshall

Christian discovery was fun and we played games and sang songs We played a game where the leaders said a colour or something you had for breakfast and if you had you stay standing and if you didnrsquot then you sit down The last one left was the winner Our winners were Owen Kelly and Ethan Yusuf The song that we sang was one of our favourites rsquoJesus yoursquore my superherorsquo There were 4 superhero groups and whichever superhero was your favourite you went into that group My favourite was Wonder Woman We then went back into our activity groups and made our superhero craft The craft had a memory verse of John 316 on the back ldquoFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have eternal liferdquo Jesus is certainly MY Super hero

Christian Discovery by Hannah Danyal

Christian Discovery was awesome we played a game we sang songs and we learnt that God is the best super hero ever We discussed what we learnt and about how Jesus come down to earth to take away our sins We went into our activity groups to make our super hero craft that had the memory verse John 316 on the back The craft had with a paddle pop stick holding it up It was a really fun activity

Rock climbing by Siola Ofa At camp rock climbing was really fun but also challenging We had to set a goal that we wanted to pass on the climbing wall I set a goal of going half way up the wall I got past my goal because lots of people were cheering me on Year 4 was really kind and kept cheering me on and I ended up getting to the top of 2 walls which was pretty epic Best of all was when we cheered on my friend Mahli She got higher and higher and got past her goal too which was really nice to see I knew she was scared but she kept going In rock climbing we all had to be in groups and we had to all work together to get the person up the wall We had to use calls for everyone to do the right thing at the right time It was great to work at a team

Year 3 Camp

Mangrove IslandThe boat trip to the Mangrove Island was great At the island we caught crabs and raced them in a circle We built sandcastles to see if it is low or high tide We licked mangrove leaves and went into the water

BushwalkWe made damper and tea on the fire on the bushwalk and found lots of sticks

NavigationWe learnt about some new animals that live in the wild We played navigation games in groups of three or four to find 15 tags to finish the game and do more challenges

Food that we ateLamingtons cookies fruit vegies bread It was a fantastic day

Can you guess the clues to the Mystery Reader

During Term 3 Pre-K White have been discovering in depth important people who work in our college Over the last two weeks Pre-K White have been using their investigating skills to ask and answer questions in order to figure out who the ldquoMystery Readerrdquo might be

In week 9 the children followed clues which landed them in Mrs Grimarsquos office and she read us a book called ldquoThe Red Bookrdquo by Matt and Beck Stanton This book helped us to be able to think outside the box and develop our questioning skills

During week 10 the ldquoMasked Readerrdquo surprised Pre-K White and read us two of his favourite books from when he was a child He read us ldquoThe Very Sleepy Bearrdquo By Nick Bland We learnt that Mr Nott likes to sleep and the book also taught us more about Rhyming words Mr Nott also read us ldquoToo Many Elephants in Our Houserdquo by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner The children enjoyed this book and loved imagining what could happen in a house filled with elephants

27 September 2019

Dear Parents and Carers

2019 PampF COLOUR RUN

The Penrith Anglican College Parents and Friendsrsquo Association (PampF) will be hosting its inaugural Colour Run on Tuesday 12 November 2019

The PampF will use this event to help raise funds to go toward the fit-out of a commercial kitchen in the hospitality area of the new Performing Arts Centre building The total cost of this fit-out is estimated to be $100 000 the PampFrsquos goal is to raise $35000 toward this cost

The new commercial kitchen will provide our Hospitality students with access to first class facilities while also enabling the school to rent out the hospitality space bringing in further funds for resources to help support the education of our children

To take part and support the Colour run we are asking $20 per child for entry to help us reach our goal of $35 000 We are off to a great start thanks to our Sponsors of the event The $20 can be raised by sponsorship from friend or family with a minimum total donation of $20 Each familyrsquos support is greatly appreciated and will help to further the success of our children

During the Colour Run students will run walk or crawl through an obstacle course and pass through colour checkpoints The coloured powder is safe (cornflour based)

Mufti-day dress is required (with usual College dress code) Students are encouraged to wear white as this shows the colours well The colour washes out easily however we recommend students not wear good clothes or shoes

Students will be issued with a pair of bright colour sunglasses to protect their eyes and will be rewarded with a frozen ice block at the completion of the course

Parents family and friends are encouraged to attend on the day to cheer on the students

A photo booth will be set up for you to capture a photo of your colour covered child at the end of the run

In the event of inclement weather please refer to the PampF Facebook page

We require a number of volunteers on the day If you are able to help please comment on the PampF Facebook page under volunteers

For businesses families or guardians who are interest in future sponsorship opportunities please email Sunny Hunt at pandfpacnsweduau for more information

Year 4 Camp

The Vine - Issue No 15 2019

Year 4 and Growth Mindset on their camp to Port Hacking

Year 4 used their Growth Mindsets on our camp to Port Hacking in Term 3 They enjoyed learning new things and overcoming new challenges with the help of other group members leaders and teachers The challenges they faced in each and every activity made them stronger they used their mistakes as opportunities learnt from feedback they were given from others and their leaders and they kept trying until they succeeded whatever that looked like They had new challenges to overcome they werenrsquot afraid to fail and were certainly inspired by others

Catapults by Carissa AzopardiOur group leaderrsquos name was Hayden He was fun helped us stay safe and encouraged us all with each activities One of the camp activities we did was the catapults We were in two groups and we had to build our catapult in our groups We had an amazing time building together and I enjoyed being the group leader We all worked together as a team helped each other and laughed a lot We played a game using the catapults which entailed putting balls bean bags or a rubber chicken into the sling to shoot into the target The rubber chicken was by far the funniest of all Just ask Abigail

Pool Canoeing by Luka SikavicaAt camp we went pool canoeing Canoeing was a new challenge for me because I had never done it before We sat in a canoe with a group of 3 people and I sat at the back When we were paddling we had to work as a team so that we didnrsquot go round in circles I also really enjoyed sailing but I had to be brave when I was leaning at the front of the sail boat because I was sitting at the edge and I could have easily fallen off My friends inspired me to steer the sailing boat and we all encouraged each other to step out of our comfort zone

Christian Discovery by Meg Marshall

Christian discovery was fun and we played games and sang songs We played a game where the leaders said a colour or something you had for breakfast and if you had you stay standing and if you didnrsquot then you sit down The last one left was the winner Our winners were Owen Kelly and Ethan Yusuf The song that we sang was one of our favourites rsquoJesus yoursquore my superherorsquo There were 4 superhero groups and whichever superhero was your favourite you went into that group My favourite was Wonder Woman We then went back into our activity groups and made our superhero craft The craft had a memory verse of John 316 on the back ldquoFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have eternal liferdquo Jesus is certainly MY Super hero

Christian Discovery by Hannah Danyal

Christian Discovery was awesome we played a game we sang songs and we learnt that God is the best super hero ever We discussed what we learnt and about how Jesus come down to earth to take away our sins We went into our activity groups to make our super hero craft that had the memory verse John 316 on the back The craft had with a paddle pop stick holding it up It was a really fun activity

Rock climbing by Siola Ofa At camp rock climbing was really fun but also challenging We had to set a goal that we wanted to pass on the climbing wall I set a goal of going half way up the wall I got past my goal because lots of people were cheering me on Year 4 was really kind and kept cheering me on and I ended up getting to the top of 2 walls which was pretty epic Best of all was when we cheered on my friend Mahli She got higher and higher and got past her goal too which was really nice to see I knew she was scared but she kept going In rock climbing we all had to be in groups and we had to all work together to get the person up the wall We had to use calls for everyone to do the right thing at the right time It was great to work at a team

Year 3 Camp

The Vine - Issue No 15 2019

Mangrove IslandThe boat trip to the Mangrove Island was great At the island we caught crabs and raced them in a circle We built sandcastles to see if it is low or high tide We licked mangrove leaves and went into the water

BushwalkWe made damper and tea on the fire on the bushwalk and found lots of sticks

NavigationWe learnt about some new animals that live in the wild We played navigation games in groups of three or four to find 15 tags to finish the game and do more challenges

Food that we ateLamingtons cookies fruit vegies bread It was a fantastic day

Can you guess the clues to the Mystery Reader

During Term 3 Pre-K White have been discovering in depth important people who work in our college Over the last two weeks Pre-K White have been using their investigating skills to ask and answer questions in order to figure out who the ldquoMystery Readerrdquo might be

In week 9 the children followed clues which landed them in Mrs Grimarsquos office and she read us a book called ldquoThe Red Bookrdquo by Matt and Beck Stanton This book helped us to be able to think outside the box and develop our questioning skills

During week 10 the ldquoMasked Readerrdquo surprised Pre-K White and read us two of his favourite books from when he was a child He read us ldquoThe Very Sleepy Bearrdquo By Nick Bland We learnt that Mr Nott likes to sleep and the book also taught us more about Rhyming words Mr Nott also read us ldquoToo Many Elephants in Our Houserdquo by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner The children enjoyed this book and loved imagining what could happen in a house filled with elephants

Year 4 Camp

The Vine - Issue No 15 2019

Year 4 and Growth Mindset on their camp to Port Hacking

Year 4 used their Growth Mindsets on our camp to Port Hacking in Term 3 They enjoyed learning new things and overcoming new challenges with the help of other group members leaders and teachers The challenges they faced in each and every activity made them stronger they used their mistakes as opportunities learnt from feedback they were given from others and their leaders and they kept trying until they succeeded whatever that looked like They had new challenges to overcome they werenrsquot afraid to fail and were certainly inspired by others

Catapults by Carissa AzopardiOur group leaderrsquos name was Hayden He was fun helped us stay safe and encouraged us all with each activities One of the camp activities we did was the catapults We were in two groups and we had to build our catapult in our groups We had an amazing time building together and I enjoyed being the group leader We all worked together as a team helped each other and laughed a lot We played a game using the catapults which entailed putting balls bean bags or a rubber chicken into the sling to shoot into the target The rubber chicken was by far the funniest of all Just ask Abigail

Pool Canoeing by Luka SikavicaAt camp we went pool canoeing Canoeing was a new challenge for me because I had never done it before We sat in a canoe with a group of 3 people and I sat at the back When we were paddling we had to work as a team so that we didnrsquot go round in circles I also really enjoyed sailing but I had to be brave when I was leaning at the front of the sail boat because I was sitting at the edge and I could have easily fallen off My friends inspired me to steer the sailing boat and we all encouraged each other to step out of our comfort zone

Christian Discovery by Meg Marshall

Christian discovery was fun and we played games and sang songs We played a game where the leaders said a colour or something you had for breakfast and if you had you stay standing and if you didnrsquot then you sit down The last one left was the winner Our winners were Owen Kelly and Ethan Yusuf The song that we sang was one of our favourites rsquoJesus yoursquore my superherorsquo There were 4 superhero groups and whichever superhero was your favourite you went into that group My favourite was Wonder Woman We then went back into our activity groups and made our superhero craft The craft had a memory verse of John 316 on the back ldquoFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have eternal liferdquo Jesus is certainly MY Super hero

Christian Discovery by Hannah Danyal

Christian Discovery was awesome we played a game we sang songs and we learnt that God is the best super hero ever We discussed what we learnt and about how Jesus come down to earth to take away our sins We went into our activity groups to make our super hero craft that had the memory verse John 316 on the back The craft had with a paddle pop stick holding it up It was a really fun activity

Rock climbing by Siola Ofa At camp rock climbing was really fun but also challenging We had to set a goal that we wanted to pass on the climbing wall I set a goal of going half way up the wall I got past my goal because lots of people were cheering me on Year 4 was really kind and kept cheering me on and I ended up getting to the top of 2 walls which was pretty epic Best of all was when we cheered on my friend Mahli She got higher and higher and got past her goal too which was really nice to see I knew she was scared but she kept going In rock climbing we all had to be in groups and we had to all work together to get the person up the wall We had to use calls for everyone to do the right thing at the right time It was great to work at a team

Year 3 Camp

The Vine - Issue No 15 2019

Mangrove IslandThe boat trip to the Mangrove Island was great At the island we caught crabs and raced them in a circle We built sandcastles to see if it is low or high tide We licked mangrove leaves and went into the water

BushwalkWe made damper and tea on the fire on the bushwalk and found lots of sticks

NavigationWe learnt about some new animals that live in the wild We played navigation games in groups of three or four to find 15 tags to finish the game and do more challenges

Food that we ateLamingtons cookies fruit vegies bread It was a fantastic day

Can you guess the clues to the Mystery Reader

During Term 3 Pre-K White have been discovering in depth important people who work in our college Over the last two weeks Pre-K White have been using their investigating skills to ask and answer questions in order to figure out who the ldquoMystery Readerrdquo might be

In week 9 the children followed clues which landed them in Mrs Grimarsquos office and she read us a book called ldquoThe Red Bookrdquo by Matt and Beck Stanton This book helped us to be able to think outside the box and develop our questioning skills

During week 10 the ldquoMasked Readerrdquo surprised Pre-K White and read us two of his favourite books from when he was a child He read us ldquoThe Very Sleepy Bearrdquo By Nick Bland We learnt that Mr Nott likes to sleep and the book also taught us more about Rhyming words Mr Nott also read us ldquoToo Many Elephants in Our Houserdquo by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner The children enjoyed this book and loved imagining what could happen in a house filled with elephants

During week 10 the ldquoMasked Readerrdquo surprised Pre-K White and read us two of his favourite books from when he was a child He read us ldquoThe Very Sleepy Bearrdquo By Nick Bland We learnt that Mr Nott likes to sleep and the book also taught us more about Rhyming words Mr Nott also read us ldquoToo Many Elephants in Our Houserdquo by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner The children enjoyed this book and loved imagining what could happen in a house filled with elephants

P amp F Colour Run

27 September 2019

Dear Parents and Carers

2019 PampF COLOUR RUN

The Penrith Anglican College Parents and Friendsrsquo Association (PampF) will be hosting its inaugural Colour Run on Tuesday 12 November 2019

The PampF will use this event to help raise funds to go toward the fit-out of a commercial kitchen in the hospitality area of the new Performing Arts Centre building The total cost of this fit-out is estimated to be $100 000 the PampFrsquos goal is to raise $35000 toward this cost

The new commercial kitchen will provide our Hospitality students with access to first class facilities while also enabling the school to rent out the hospitality space bringing in further funds for resources to help support the education of our children

To take part and support the Colour run we are asking $20 per child for entry to help us reach our goal of $35 000 We are off to a great start thanks to our Sponsors of the event The $20 can be raised by sponsorship from friend or family with a minimum total donation of $20 Each familyrsquos support is greatly appreciated and will help to further the success of our children

During the Colour Run students will run walk or crawl through an obstacle course and pass through colour checkpoints The coloured powder is safe (cornflour based)

Mufti-day dress is required (with usual College dress code) Students are encouraged to wear white as this shows the colours well The colour washes out easily however we recommend students not wear good clothes or shoes

Students will be issued with a pair of bright colour sunglasses to protect their eyes and will be rewarded with a frozen ice block at the completion of the course

Parents family and friends are encouraged to attend on the day to cheer on the students

A photo booth will be set up for you to capture a photo of your colour covered child at the end of the run

In the event of inclement weather please refer to the PampF Facebook page

We require a number of volunteers on the day If you are able to help please comment on the PampF Facebook page under volunteers
