CHARACTERISTICS OF A CHRISTIAN LEADER (Part 8) 1. Biblical, 2. Authentic, 3. Transparent, 4. Community Oriented, 5. Communicator,

6. Relational, 7. Flexible, 8. Innovator...

9. MANAGER

The daily operation of the Christian school should be the responsibility of the school leader. In order to carry out responsibilities, management skills are an important characteristic of the effective leader. Those skills include the ability to organize, set workable structures in place, plan systematically, communicate clearly and in a timely manner, and meaningfully engage with staff and stakeholders. An important skill for the effective school manager is the ability to identify his or her own strengths. For example, not every effective leader is detail oriented. Recognizing such, the effective leader will find an administrative assistant or a vice principal who has the skill and can complement and support the work of the school leader.

The effective leader will be passionate about their calling, God’s children, and education. The effective leader will have skills in educational leadership, financial planning and management, communication, and creating systems that move everything in a singular direction. The effective leader must be knowledgeable and competent in carrying out the mission of the school. Knowledge of educational leadership, student learning, best instructional practice, finance, and effective management procedures are essential. Knowledge is gained through continuing education, experience, and collaboration. The effective school leader continually seeks to improve by gaining knowledge and networking with those who are leading effectively in other Christian schools. Competency is equal to knowledge in importance. A competent leader has knowledge and skills. A competent leader is able to recognize problems and identify issues. A competent leader is skilled to discern and identify strategies to address situations which arise in timely and effective ways.

10. STRATEGIC THINKER

Those who govern Christian schools face the challenge of guiding the school to a sustainable future. The school leader is one who is able to create the roadmap and to guide the school along the pathway in the direction to which God is leading them. The leader will be able to build upon the roadmap as he or she engages key stakeholders in the strategic vision for the school. Articulating the strategic vision will be a key component to raise the funds that will be needed to carry forward the vision.

Governor’s Prayer Breakfast

The Governor's prayer

breakfast was a unique

experience that I will never

forget. One of my favourite

parts was the inspiring

speech by Jason Wong, his

yellow ribbon project was

one of the most amazing

movements I have ever heard

of.

Isaac Burgis

I feel very privileged to have

been chosen to go to the

Governor’s prayer breakfast.

I thoroughly enjoyed the

morning, listening to

inspirational people! I was

very moved to see so many

Christians gather together.

Jemima Roberts

Being able to go to the

Governor’s prayer breakfast

was a great privilege,

especially hearing the

message by Jason Wong. My

favourite part of the

breakfast was hearing about

the yellow ribbon project,

and also hearing stories from

inspirational people.

Karen Cha

It was a very nice

experience at the

Governor's Breakfast. My

favourite part was the

breakfast.

On Monday the Year 4 children and Miss Riddle warmly welcomed the Kindy Kangaroos into their classroom. The Year 4 children had made dioramas about the Australian Aboriginal people and the Kindy children were keen to learn as much as they could. The Kindy children walked around looking at the all the wonderful creations but mostly enjoyed talking to the Year 4 children.

The wonderful Year Threes made lots of different slices that look good. We sold them outside our class and it was fun. We were selling them because we want kids in Zambia to go to school like us. We made slices all day and the next day we sold them. Nearly everyone came. Some people made more slices at home or bought them from the shops and brought them to school to sell as well.

In class Mrs Neaves made LCMs. The we got to make them . We boiled water in the kettle, then we put the water in a big bowl. We put a smaller bowl on top of it with some marshmallows and butter in it. Then we waited for the heat of the water to transfer to the bowl with the butter and the marshmallows in to melt. We then poured the hot mixture into the Rice Bubbles then pressed the mixture into a tray.

It was fun making the slices and selling them. There were so many slices that we still had some left, so we sold them the next day with the help of some Year Six students.

Students in year 3W have had an interesting learning journey in HASS (Civics and Citizenship) and Bible. As they were learning about:

how to make a difference in the world around them

how to help others in the community

how to serve with a godly heart they were presented with a need by Miss Vallejos who told them about children who couldn’t afford to go to school in Zambia.

Students responded by examining a number of ideas before creating a solution – a fundraiser making slices to sell to the rest of the school to raise money for Eagle’s Wings, a charity which works with such families. Students

Identified the need

Created a solution

Did market research by checking who likes what kind of slices

Enlisted families to purchase ingredients and make slices

Learned customer service skills

Food handling skills

With support of class family: Mrs Neaves and 3N, Mrs Bonnie Hunt, Mrs Paweena Cha and Miss Mary Maira along with Mrs Josie

Wiegand, Mr Tim Wiegand and Mrs Tamika Wiegand, students:

cut

melted

grated and

grinded making enough slice for the whole school!

We also received a very generous donation from the darling ladies in the Girrawheen Baptist Church Craft Group – thanks so much ladies – your $30 helped purchase our ingredients. Also Woolworths Alexander Heights kindly gave $30 in a gift card for ingredients! Thanks Declan!

The Eagle’s Wings Slice

Sale earned $420 which was a cracking effort! They saw a problem and responded with the eyes of Christ. With the help of year 6 selling leftovers, funds raised came to $561.10!! Congratulations on a job well done!

The Year Five Colonial Picnic

It was the second time I arrived at

school, there were olden day games

set out on the grass area, the games

were elastics, knuckle bones,

badminton, quoits and so much

more!

We got called by Mr Pirie to go to

the undercover area and told us the

rules for the game we were about to

play: The horse game. We had to go

on pretend horses and do a relay

and see who was the fastest team,

the orange team won.

Mr Pirie was side tracking us while

Elizabeth McCarthur (Miss Ashmore)

was getting ready to introduce

herself, she came out in a beautiful

dress with a wide brimmed hat and

lace gloves. We all had to introduce

ourselves to her.

There was also a bushranger who

tried to steal our dinner, and a

convict and soldier. The convict

escaped an was taken away to be

“flogged”

After that we finally had dinner we

had bread rolls with meat and

vegetables, we also tried Kangaroo

Burgers. When everybody finished

we did a bit of bush dancing, after

seconds of course. It was so

complicated for an easy dance! We

found it so fun!

The last thing we did for the night

was have desert, which was pavlova,

lamingtons and fresh fruit. It was

delicious!

We thanked all the helpers that

made the night happen it was a

delight!

YEAR FIVE

ASSEMBLY A few weeks ago, the Year

fives had their assembly. It

was about the Lyin’ King

not Lion King. It was when

Andrew (Main character)

lies about not bringing in

the stuff he was supposed

to bring to school or to his

friends.

It was funny, interesting

and embarrassing for lots

of the characters and some

of the teachers.

At the end there was a

video of us being animal

the wrong assembly the

lion king, and then we had

the names of the people in

the assembly. It was very

fun doing it and acting. I

felt like I could do the

whole play again.

My favourite part was

when Kevin and Johnny

turn around and talk to

each other about how

Andrew lies so many times

and Kevin’s part was “yeah,

but he didn’t even say he

was sorry”, and then the

Boy Band came on.

Year 9 trip to Edith Cowan University Joondalup

—Mrs Selby

LabRats is a

community engagement initiative for

secondary school students conducted at

Edith Cowan University's Joondalup

Campus. This annual event provides an

opportunity for students to visit the

campus and participate in several hands

-on science workshops.

This event was held on 18 September, during

school hours. The year 9 student were given

the wonderful opportunity to take part in the

LabRats program.

The students attended workshops on Speech

Pathology, Adventures in Physics and Making IT

with Science. The students were thoroughly

engaged and enjoyed every minute of it,

especially the pizza lunch.

“ECU was such a great experience. One that opens

up the mind of students and offers them an

opportunity to think about their future.”

Boston Fitch.

Spaghetti and Marshmallow tower

STEM –

Year 7

To finish term 3 in a fun and exciting way the Yr. 7 students in their STEM class had the challenge of building a tower using marshmallow and spaghetti. They soon found by trial and error that a strong tower needs a strong base. It was marshmallowy challenging.

Thunderstorm Asthma The devastating thunderstorm asthma event in Melbourne during last year’s pollen season highlighted the risk for people with underlying breathing conditions. People with asthma and hay fever were particularly vulnerable. Asthma Australia has worked closely with the authorities in Victoria and now provides a thunderstorm asthma module in their online training so school staff can be prepared for such an event should it occur in school time. You can help by ensuring your child’s Asthma Plan is up to date and the school has an in-date blue reliever puffer and spacer for them in case of an emergency.

Asthma Kids Looking for a way to help your child understand more about their asthma or about a friend with asthma? Asthma Kids is an online, interactive tool to help primary school aged children understand what it’s like to have asthma and what they can do to help. Check it out at asthmakids.org.au
