A <strong>Note</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Principal’s</strong> <strong>Desk</strong><br />
It was a great pleasure to welcome students back to school on Tuesday. We commenced<br />
Term 2 with a moving ANZAC service which was truly an inspiring occasion. The highlight<br />
for me was <strong>the</strong> conclusion of <strong>the</strong> service, when every student and staff member in <strong>the</strong><br />
College placed a poppy, prepared by MS students, 1200 in all, on <strong>the</strong> south fence of B Field,<br />
in memory of those soldiers who have given <strong>the</strong>ir lives for our country.<br />
Every time I walked past <strong>the</strong> fence this week, it prompted me to remember <strong>the</strong>se people<br />
and to thank God for <strong>the</strong>ir selfl ess service. It also caused me to pray for <strong>the</strong>ir family and<br />
friends, that <strong>the</strong>y would be comforted and streng<strong>the</strong>ned by God’s love, and also for <strong>the</strong><br />
soldiers, who currently serve overseas, and <strong>the</strong>ir families.<br />
I extend my sincere appreciation to Graeme Evans for his thoughtful and thorough<br />
organisation of this service. It certainly helped to increase our students’ respect and<br />
esteem for <strong>the</strong>se men and women. (Please refer to <strong>the</strong> student report on our ANZAC service<br />
on page 3.)<br />
On <strong>the</strong> same day, a group of students represented our College at <strong>the</strong> HRIS Cross Country<br />
event. They were enthusiastic and committed to running <strong>the</strong>ir personal best, and I thank<br />
each one of <strong>the</strong>m for being such fi ne ambassadors for SPCC Newcastle.<br />
Last weekend, we welcomed home two groups who travelled overseas during <strong>the</strong> term<br />
break. We had a Middle School group who visited Hong Kong and China under <strong>the</strong><br />
leadership of Graeme Evans and Belinda Williams, and a Senior School group who visited<br />
<strong>the</strong> USA under <strong>the</strong> leadership of Amelia & Dan Gardiner (SPCC Cessnock) and Ben<br />
Perren (report on pages 4 & 5). The feedback <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong>se staff members indicate that<br />
our students not only had an amazing experience, but represented our College in an<br />
outstanding manner. I was thrilled to hear that <strong>the</strong> staff <strong>from</strong> The Dream Centre in Los<br />
Angeles said that our group was one of <strong>the</strong> best groups that have ever served in <strong>the</strong><br />
centre, because <strong>the</strong>y worked tirelessly, without complaint, achieving above and beyond<br />
what <strong>the</strong> staff of <strong>the</strong> Dream Centre anticipated.<br />
Term 2, Week 1<br />
Such reports are very encouraging<br />
and refl ect not only <strong>the</strong> quality of our<br />
students, but also <strong>the</strong> willingness our<br />
students have to embrace challenge,<br />
and rise up on it to become stronger<br />
and more resilient. On behalf of our<br />
College community, I want to thank<br />
our staff members for giving <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />
time to support our students while<br />
<strong>the</strong>y undertake such life-changing<br />
experiences, and also to all <strong>the</strong><br />
students for being great ambassadors,<br />
not only for our College, but also for<br />
our country.<br />
The term ahead is very busy as it<br />
not only includes countless learning<br />
opportunities, but also many major<br />
sporting events, NAPLAN testing and<br />
<strong>the</strong> presentation of ‘The Sound of<br />
Music’ by our Senior School students.<br />
Let’s make <strong>the</strong> most of every day, and<br />
thank God for <strong>the</strong> blessing of our lives,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> opportunities He gives us each<br />
and every day to live life to <strong>the</strong> fullest.<br />
John 10:10 (Amplifi ed Bible)<br />
I have come that you will have and enjoy<br />
life, and have it in abundance, to <strong>the</strong> full,<br />
till it overfl ows.<br />
Every blessing<br />

Anzac Day Service<br />
ANZAC Day is a nation-wide event of remembrance and<br />
commemoration of those who have gone to war, some to pay <strong>the</strong><br />
ultimate sacrifi ce. On <strong>the</strong> 30 April 2013, <strong>the</strong> Junior, Middle and<br />
Senior sub-schools, along with staff, ga<strong>the</strong>red toge<strong>the</strong>r for our<br />
annual ANZAC service.<br />
After introductions to ANZAC day by Middle School Student<br />
Leaders, three brave Junior School children performed a short<br />
drama that helped to explain what happened at Gallipoli.<br />
Prayers were said, and members of <strong>the</strong> Mayfi eld Waratah RSL<br />
performed <strong>the</strong> mounting of <strong>the</strong> catafalque. Representatives of each<br />
section of <strong>the</strong> school and our Principal, Mrs O’Dea, laid wreaths<br />
against <strong>the</strong> catafalque. The wreaths had been made by Year 9<br />
students.<br />
School Captain, Lilly Gosling read The Ode, <strong>from</strong> For The Fallen, and<br />
when she spoke <strong>the</strong> words ‘We will remember <strong>the</strong>m’ and ‘Lest<br />
we forget,’ <strong>the</strong> campus of Newcastle echoed <strong>the</strong>se symbolic words.<br />
The Australian fl ag was lowered to half-mast as Hudson Coates<br />
played The Last Post, and after a minute’s silence to acknowledge<br />
<strong>the</strong> lives lost in confl ict, Bryn Wilson-Kellaway played Reveille, during<br />
which <strong>the</strong> fl ag was raised again. This was followed by <strong>the</strong> dismissal<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Catafalque Party.<br />
We sang <strong>the</strong> National An<strong>the</strong>m, and as a tribute to <strong>the</strong> soldiers’ lives<br />
that were lost, each student placed a poppy on <strong>the</strong> B fi eld fence as<br />
<strong>the</strong>y left to create a moving memorial. This ANZAC Service paid<br />
great homage to <strong>the</strong> heroes of our country.<br />
Briella Rapley and Meg Arnold 5/6W
From April 13th to April 27th 15 yr. 10 and 11 students fl ew to Los Angeles to serve with <strong>the</strong><br />
Dream Center. The Dream Center has over 200 ministries/outreaches to <strong>the</strong> people of LA<br />
and we were able to be a part of a few of <strong>the</strong>m during our stay. While at <strong>the</strong> Dream Center<br />
we were able to serve food to <strong>the</strong> homeless through a ministry called “Under <strong>the</strong> Bridge.”<br />
We also had <strong>the</strong> opportunity to work with “Project Prevention” which is a ministry that<br />
goes into families’ homes who were once at risk of losing <strong>the</strong>ir children due to not having<br />
enough food or not having a bed and wardrobe. Dream Center has partnered with Child<br />
Protection Services(DOCS) to ensure <strong>the</strong>se families are no longer split apart by providing<br />
what <strong>the</strong> family needs to stay toge<strong>the</strong>r. These families are <strong>the</strong>n visited and supported by <strong>the</strong><br />
Dream Center volunteers weekly to ensure <strong>the</strong> families are going well, <strong>the</strong>ir needs are met<br />
and if necessary <strong>the</strong> parents receive education or training to get back on <strong>the</strong>ir feet.<br />
Every Saturday Dream Center volunteers “Adopt a Block” in <strong>the</strong> projects by picking up<br />
rubbish, offer homework tutoring, knock on doors to ask what <strong>the</strong> needs are in that<br />
particular family and play with <strong>the</strong> children in <strong>the</strong> neighbourhood. We were able to serve<br />
with that ministry a couple of times and see lives changed <strong>from</strong> families being impacted by<br />
<strong>the</strong> Dream Center and its volunteers.<br />
After serving with <strong>the</strong> Dream Center for a week we had some time to see <strong>the</strong> sights of<br />
Orange County and go to Disneyland for a couple of days. During our time in LA we were<br />
able to see <strong>the</strong> Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, attend a baseball game and go to<br />
Santa Monica Pier. This enable <strong>the</strong> students to see <strong>the</strong> contrasts of in <strong>the</strong> city of LA.<br />
Below are some of <strong>the</strong> students comments that went on <strong>the</strong> trip and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
experiences.<br />
“My experience on <strong>the</strong> USA mission trip is one that impacted my life in so many ways. From<br />
<strong>the</strong> second we got started at <strong>the</strong> Dream Centre, I felt so touched by all of <strong>the</strong> people we<br />
got to serve and developed such a passion for what we were doing. To actually be <strong>the</strong>re and<br />
serve <strong>the</strong>se people taught me so much about what it means to give but still feel so fulfi lled.<br />
I am so grateful that I had <strong>the</strong> opportunity to go and serve with <strong>the</strong> people that I did, and I<br />
sincerely thank <strong>the</strong> leaders for everything that <strong>the</strong>y did for us.”<br />

USA Trip
USA Trip Continued...<br />
“The Dream Center provides programs for rehabilitation on<br />
site and program’s off site for those who may be under strain<br />
fi nancially physically or emotionally. These off site program’s<br />
involved handing out clo<strong>the</strong>s, serving food to those who may<br />
not be able to afford it, praying for those who were in need and<br />
loving on <strong>the</strong> community and giving back.”<br />
-Brent Hutchin yr. 11<br />
“The Dream Center was a major highlight on <strong>the</strong> USA mission<br />
trip for me. It really opened my eyes to contrast in one city.<br />
When you think of LA, you think of movie stars and rich people,<br />
but <strong>the</strong> outreach we did with <strong>the</strong> Dream Center really showed<br />
me how much poverty and homeless people <strong>the</strong>re is in LA. Skid<br />
Row was a great example to <strong>the</strong> poverty in LA. When we got to<br />
walk down that road, inviting people to lunch it really made me<br />
feel like I was working towards something great. Something that<br />
will actually make a difference. One small step each day like that<br />
would make a huge difference in <strong>the</strong> long run.”<br />
-Georgia Garry yr. 10<br />
“A group of us were on Project Prevention. We went to two<br />
different houses and delivered food for people who had family<br />
problems and <strong>the</strong> Dream Centre was trying to keep <strong>the</strong>m<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r. The fi rst house we went to was a mo<strong>the</strong>r of eleven,<br />
although a few ei<strong>the</strong>r weren’t with her or had died. She had<br />
four children living with her, plus a grandchild, and <strong>the</strong>y all had<br />
to fi t into a tiny apartment that was overcrowded already.<br />
Despite barely having enough room for <strong>the</strong>mselves, <strong>the</strong>y let all<br />
of us come in and sit while she told her testimony. What she<br />
had been through was like nothing you would imagine seeing<br />
in Australia, and after hearing that, we realised how much <strong>the</strong><br />
Dream Centre had changed her life and her children’s lives. On<br />
<strong>the</strong> way home, everyone was quiet, <strong>the</strong>y were just thinking about<br />
what we had heard. It makes you realise how little we have seen<br />
and experienced, and how much even <strong>the</strong> smallest blessings can<br />
change people’s lives.”<br />
-Rachel Jenkins yr. 10<br />

“It was incredible to have <strong>the</strong> opportunity <strong>the</strong>se holidays to<br />
travel to <strong>the</strong> US as part of <strong>the</strong> Los Angeles Mission Trip. Working<br />
with <strong>the</strong> Dream Centre was such an eye opening experience,<br />
and seeing <strong>the</strong> generosity and joy of people who have so little<br />
really challenged everyone in our team. Working in some of <strong>the</strong><br />
most underprivileged suburbs of LA, we really gained an insight<br />
into poverty in <strong>the</strong> fi rst world, and of what we can do back in<br />
Australia to make a difference in our world. It was great to be<br />
able to fi nish <strong>the</strong> trip off with a few days at Disneyland and<br />
around Hollywood. Thanks so much to Amelia, Ben and Dan, our<br />
three amazing leaders, who made <strong>the</strong> trip so enjoyable. We’ll<br />
never forget our time in America, I know I’ll be back soon.”<br />
-Lachlan Pickering<br />
“The USA mission trip 2013 was a life changing experience<br />
which I was lucky enough to be a part of. We witnessed some<br />
amazing things such as families coming toge<strong>the</strong>r after years of<br />
being apart. There was much heartache throughout <strong>the</strong> team as<br />
we saw homelessness throughout <strong>the</strong> streets of LA, however<br />
we were able to help by serving hot meals and provide food for<br />
people struggling. We got <strong>the</strong> opportunity to play with smiley<br />
and outgoing children and brighten <strong>the</strong>ir day up, as much as <strong>the</strong>y<br />
brightened ours.”<br />
-Sophie Hanlon yr. 10<br />
“The dream centre was <strong>the</strong> major highlight of <strong>the</strong> trip, my<br />
favourite part would be doing adopt a block. My group walked<br />
around <strong>the</strong> houses to pick up rubbish, our leader <strong>the</strong>n knocked<br />
on a door of one of <strong>the</strong> houses which she frequently visits. At<br />
that house we met Elijah and Jeremiah and <strong>the</strong>ir two sisters.<br />
We <strong>the</strong>n took Elijah, Jeremiah and one of <strong>the</strong> sisters to <strong>the</strong><br />
gym to play basketball; I got to know Elijah and quickly became<br />
close friends with him. Georgia, Elijah, Jeremiah and I started<br />
playing tag on <strong>the</strong> playground and gave <strong>the</strong> boys piggybacks in<br />
<strong>the</strong> gym. Later on <strong>the</strong> whole group came toge<strong>the</strong>r and prayed<br />
hand in hand. The dream centre was a great experience where<br />
I have become more independent in wanting to help my own<br />
community by taking note <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> dream centre’s work being<br />
done in Los Angeles. “<br />
