Term 1,<br />
Week 2<br />
A Note from the Principal’s Desk<br />
One other highlight of the service was the recognition of staff<br />
for years of service. As a means to honour our staff, it was<br />
suggested that I included these words of recognition in our<br />
newsletter this week. All of our staff members work diligently<br />
and tirelessly to enable your child(ren) to embrace learning in<br />
the best possible way, but at times like this, it is good to take a<br />
few moments to reflect on those who have served faithfully for<br />
10, 15, 25 & 30 years.<br />
10 years<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Students have now been back at school for 8 days and it is<br />
great to see them enthusiastic and joyful in their learning. As I<br />
move around the College, I am met with welcoming smiles and<br />
greetings, and as I visit classrooms, I am thrilled to see them<br />
participating wholeheartedly in engaging learning experiences.<br />
My hope and prayer is that this can continue throughout the<br />
year.<br />
A highlight of this week<br />
was the Commissioning and<br />
Dedication Service. Many<br />
thanks to all SPCC parents<br />
and friends who attended.<br />
It was an inspiring service,<br />
commencing with an audio<br />
visual presentation about<br />
our theme, ‘Raising a<br />
Culture of Honour’, which<br />
was created by some of our<br />
students who had won a prize at the Festival of Crazy Ideas to<br />
support Mrs Belle Holliday-Williams in the production of our<br />
AV presentation for this particular ceremony.<br />
Georgia, Hamish and Abbey editing the<br />
Dedication video during their Christmas break.<br />
This was followed by the dedication of students and staff, before<br />
the commissioning and dedication of our student leaders. I<br />
encouraged the leaders to remember that leadership is an<br />
opportunity to serve, not an opportunity to promote yourself,<br />
and that leadership requires the ability to translate vision into<br />
reality. A Christian leader leads with integrity and brings hope<br />
to everyone he or she leads and that true leadership means to<br />
receive power from God, and to use it under God’s direction to<br />
serve people in God’s way. They responded to that by reciting<br />
their pledge which outlined their willingness to take up their<br />
leadership positions with humility and a willingness to serve.<br />
Pastor Christine Jones then prayed for all of our student leaders.<br />
Adrian Lamrock came to the College 10<br />
years ago with a wealth of experience and<br />
has significantly impacted students’ lives, first<br />
as a History teacher and more recently, after<br />
retiring from teaching, as a Careers Advisor<br />
and by providing pastoral care for our senior<br />
students.<br />
Adam Scott has, during his 10 years of<br />
service at SPCC, been a committed and<br />
diligent teacher in Middle School and now in<br />
Junior School. He is passionately interested in<br />
the students in his care and nurtures them in a<br />
way that makes every child feel special.<br />
15 years<br />
Andrew Johnston has served selflessly, giving up many hours of<br />
his own time to ensure that all students are given the opportunity<br />
to excel in sport, no matter what their pursuit. He is a classroom<br />
teacher and enthusiastic Director of Sport, and<br />
has been a Head of the PDHPE Faculty. Andrew’s<br />
passion, his determination, his energy and his<br />
heart has made sport what it is in the College,<br />
and has been instrumental in bringing the Sports<br />
Centre into being. Thank you Andrew for serving<br />
the College faithfully for 15 years.<br />
Jenny King has served in many administrative<br />
areas of the College during her 15 years of<br />
service. Because she has a ‘can do’ attitude,<br />
she has the ability to multitask and ensure that<br />
everything gets done, on time. She is such a<br />
joyful and positive person, who always makes<br />
people feel welcome when they visit the<br />
College, and helps people on the phone to<br />
feel that they have been heard. Jenny has been a<br />
blessing to our College for the past 15 years.

25 years<br />
It is hard to find words to fully express the gratitude we have for<br />
the incredible dedication and loyalty that Judy Anastopoulos has<br />
given to the IRC and the College at large, where she has served<br />
for the past 25 years. Judy’s professional<br />
skills are exemplary and she has<br />
enjoyed the challenge of embracing new<br />
technologies and working to make them<br />
available to other teaching staff through<br />
the service of the IRC. Judy has also<br />
made an eternal difference to the lives<br />
of our international students and, as well<br />
she inspires our senior English students<br />
to achieve their best. More recently<br />
Judy has pursued the power of making<br />
thinking visible by personally engaging<br />
with international researchers and facilitating their connection to<br />
our college. Even after 25 years Judy demonstrates the power of an<br />
active learner, and we thank you for always being willing and open<br />
to change, allowing God to be the strength of your heart in every<br />
situation.<br />
30 years<br />
Graeme Evans is one of the most<br />
capable, thoughtful, inspiring and<br />
committed teachers and leaders who<br />
has served at the College over the<br />
past thirty years. In my conversations<br />
with students and staff, his name always<br />
produces the same response: gratitude,<br />
respect and admiration. Graeme is a<br />
godly man -- a sincerely genuine person<br />
who embodies all of the values St Philip’s<br />
espouses. In the nearly twenty five of the<br />
thirty years I have worked with him he<br />
has always treated everyone, students, staff, parents around him with<br />
the utmost respect, regardless of the situation. Speaking to students<br />
who have had Graeme as their teacher, I always receive the same<br />
response, that he was their favourite. That is because Graeme always<br />
listens, he works to help solve people’s problems and to make them<br />
feel uniquely special, whether he is their teacher, or leader.<br />
During his time as teacher. Asst Head of JS & Head of Middle School<br />
& including recently his appointment as chairman of the Australian<br />
MYSA, Graeme has been strongly supported & encouraged by his<br />
wife, Jane and we also honour her today for the part she has played.<br />
“Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me”<br />
Matthew 18:5 This is the epitome of Graeme’s leadership.<br />
“A great teacher is a great artist; his medium is not canvas, but the human<br />
soul.”<br />
So whether it be teaching Year 6, creating experiences such as<br />
Coachwood to help students learn in different settings, singing in the<br />
College choir, inspiring teachers to be the best they can be, creating,<br />
launching and leading the MS, teaching Mathematics, Mr Evans we<br />
want to honour you and thank you for serving the College and all<br />
of the community.<br />
“One hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account<br />
was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world<br />
may be different because Mr Evans was important in the life of a child or<br />
young person.”<br />
God understood our thirst for knowledge, and our need to be led by<br />
someone wise; He needed a heart of compassion, of encouragement,<br />
and patience; Someone who would accept the challenge regardless<br />
of the opposition; Someone who could see potential and believe in<br />
the best in others... So He made Mr Evans. Thank you Graeme for 30<br />
years of outstanding service at St Philip’s Christian College.<br />
Have a great week. Praying for you and your family.<br />
Every blessing<br />
Mrs Pam O’Dea<br />
Principal<br />
St Philip’s Christian College<br />

Child Studies<br />
Child Studies has been introduced this year to Year 9 as an<br />
elective and students involved were delighted to welcome<br />
Mrs Megan Elliot with baby Levi and Mrs Andrea Stig (due<br />
to give birth to her first child any day) to their classroom<br />
on Thursday.<br />
Both Megan and Andrea shared wonderful insight on<br />
preparation for parenting, including setting up a nursery.<br />
Levi charmed everyone with his gorgeous smile and his<br />
antics in the bath, when Megan demonstrated the skill of<br />
bathing and changing a baby. Lots of laughter and splashing<br />
involved.<br />
Thank you Andrea, Megan, and baby Levi for allowing us<br />
to share your experiences and provide us with a very<br />
valuable and unique learning experience.<br />

It is important that students and parents /carers<br />

Students are not required to wear uniform.<br />
None of this fazes us because<br />
Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely<br />
convinced that nothing—nothing<br />
living or dead, angelic or<br />
demonic, today or tomorrow,<br />
high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely<br />
nothing<br />
can get between us and God’s<br />
love because of the way that<br />
Jesus our Master has embraced<br />
us.<br />

School Banking<br />
at St Philip’s!<br />
The Commonwealth Bank School Banking program is here!<br />
The School Banking program includes an exciting Rewards<br />
Program designed to encourage children to get into the habit<br />
of making regular saving. Every time your child makes a deposit<br />
at school they receive a silver coloured Dollarmites token. The<br />
first token will be received upon the first deposit at school. Once<br />
your child has individually saved 10 tokens they can redeem them<br />
for an exclusive Dollarmites reward item. Students will have lots<br />
of fun saving their tokens for these cool rewards items.<br />
School Banking is also a great fundraiser for our school. The<br />
school receives $5 when children make their first deposit at<br />
school and a commission on every deposit made through the<br />
School Banking program.<br />
Taking part in School Banking is easy.<br />
• If your child has an existing Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver<br />
account they can start banking straight away. They just need<br />
to bring their deposit in every week using their Dollarmites<br />
deposit wallet. If your child has misplaced their Dollarmites<br />
deposit book or deposit wallet, they can request a new one<br />
from either the local branch or contact the School Banking<br />
Co-ordinator.<br />
• If your child does not have a Youthsaver account, you can<br />
open one at any Commonwealth Bank branch, no forms to fill<br />
in! Please remember you will need to take in ID for you and<br />
your child (Birth Certificate / Driver’s License). Alternatively,<br />
if you are an existing Commonwealth Bank customer with<br />
access to NetBank you can apply online. Another option is<br />
to download a paper-based application form from commbank.<br />
com.au/schoolbanking. Please note this option may take up to<br />
2 weeks before a Dollarmites wallet and deposit book is sent<br />
to your home address to start banking at school.<br />
2014 UPDATE<br />
Please note that banking is carried out each Monday by parent<br />
volunteers. All students are responsible for handing their bank<br />
books to their classroom teacher on Monday mornings. If for<br />
some reason their book is not handed in, the school banking coordinators<br />
are unable to process a deposit for that week and no<br />
tokens will be awarded. We are unable to make up extra deposits<br />
the following week and can only process one deposit per week.<br />
At the start of a calendar year, all tokens up to a maximum of 9,<br />
which have previously been unredeemed, will be carried over and<br />
can be used to order new rewards. However the commendation<br />
system starts from scratch at the start of a calendar year. For<br />
example:<br />
• Bronze - 10 deposits in a calendar year<br />
• Silver - 20 deposits in a calendar year<br />
• Gold - 30 deposits in a calendar year<br />
• Special Commendation - will be awarded at the end of the<br />
Term Dates 2014<br />
Term 1: 29/1/2014 - 11/4/2014<br />
Term 2: 29/4/2014 - 27/6/2014<br />
Term 3: 21/7/2014 - 19/9/2014<br />
Term 4: 7/10/2014 - 5/12/2014<br />
School finishes at 3.00pm<br />
on Friday 6th December<br />
for all students.<br />
year to any students who have banked each week for the<br />
entire school year (This will commence from week 4 of term<br />
1, ensuring students have enough time to set up an account).<br />
New and exciting rewards will be available this year. Please note<br />
that once a student places an order, it can take up to 4 weeks<br />
for the stock to be received by the banking co-ordinator. We<br />
appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.<br />
Banking in Middle School<br />
Please note, that the school banking program is available to all<br />
Middle School students. We ask that students place their bank<br />
books in the locked safety box located on Mrs James’s desk each<br />
Monday morning. Please see Mrs James for more information or<br />
contact the School Banking Co-ordinator: Emmah Moore 0425<br />
156 399 or mymoorefamily@bigpond.com<br />
Volunteers Required<br />
The school banking program relies on parent volunteers to<br />
facilitate the banking and distribution of rewards. We currently<br />
have two volunteers but due to the ever increasing numbers of<br />
students banking would really benefit from having another helper.<br />
If you are able to volunteer a small amount of time on a Monday,<br />
please contact Di or Kerrie in the Junior School office.<br />
STAY COOL AT SCHOOL THIS SUMMER<br />
Win a CommBank Marquee for your school and $50 for a<br />
student just by depositing to your CommBank School Banking<br />
account in Term 1.<br />
The school with the highest percentage of active students at<br />
the end of Term 1 will win a marquee. There are 4 marquees to<br />
be won in the <strong>Newcastle</strong> area. Every student who completes<br />
a minimum of 3 school banking deposits in Term 1 will also be<br />
in the running to win one of two $50 credits to their School<br />
Banking account. Competition opens 28/01/2014 and closes<br />
11/04/2014. For full terms and conditions please visit commbank.<br />

UNIFORM SHOP NEWS<br />
Welcome Back!!!<br />
The shop has been quite busy with everyone topping up on<br />
uniforms and lots of new enrolments. A big thankyou to Tanya,<br />
Stephanie and the other volunteers who have been helping out.<br />
We are in need of a volunteer for Thursday afternoons (one of<br />
our busiest times). Duties would include unpacking stock, serving,<br />
making phonecalls etc. If you would like to help the school in this<br />
way and can help for a few hours each week (or fortnight) please<br />
speak with Tanya at the shop or email alison.gill@spcc.nsw.edu.<br />
au.<br />
I have received a few emails regarding what is the correct<br />
uniform. There are a few ways to gain answers....1) Get a copy<br />
of the uniform policy form the shop, 2) download one from the<br />
uniform shop section on the website or 3) ask one of the school<br />
executive staff members.<br />

SAVE TIME, ORDER ONLINE!<br />
We have a great online system to make the ordering of lunches easier and more convenient.<br />
• Order at a time convenient to you<br />
in the morning, night before, or weeks in advance!<br />
• No searching for cash required<br />
It’s already paid online!<br />
• Teach students healthy eating in a fun way<br />
• Order from home or work<br />
It’s so easy!<br />
1) Go to www.flexischools.com.au<br />
2) Click “Register Now” to create account<br />
3) Top-up your balance<br />
4) Start ordering immediately<br />
To view a demonstration<br />
go to the www.flexischools.com.au website and in the “Find<br />
Your School” box, enter a few letters from our school name<br />
and click the name when it appears below.<br />
What Does it Cost?<br />
The online menu is the<br />
same price as the usual<br />
menu. However, there is a<br />
fee for the online orders to<br />
help pay for the labels and<br />
the website system. So why<br />
not order your next lunch online!<br />
How Does It Work?<br />
Go to www.flexischools.com.au and click<br />
“Register Now” in the Login Box. Then<br />
enter your student’s name, school and<br />

website at any time to place orders, up<br />
until 9:15 am on the day of the order. As<br />
purchases are made, the funds are taken<br />
from your pre-paid account. The account<br />
can be topped up again in the same way,<br />
or set to automatically top-up via credit<br />
card when the balance falls below a preset<br />
minimum. Each order is sent<br />
automatically to the kitchen, where an<br />
easy-to-read label is produced with the<br />
student’s name, class and order details. At<br />
lunch time, students can simply pick up<br />
their order without the need for cash.<br />
