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 />

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 />

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 />

class, and add funds (say $50) into a prepaid<br />

account. You can log into the<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 />

What if I don’t have a credit card?<br />

it asks for your credit card, click the link that says “What if I don’t have a credit card?” and you will<br />

receive the instructions on how to top-up your account without a credit card.<br />
