Continued from Page 1... 25 years It is hard to find words to fully express the gratitude we have for the incredible dedication and loyalty that Judy Anastopoulos has given to the IRC and the College at large, where she has served for the past 25 years. Judy’s professional skills are exemplary and she has enjoyed the challenge of embracing new technologies and working to make them available to other teaching staff through the service of the IRC. Judy has also made an eternal difference to the lives of our international students and, as well she inspires our senior English students to achieve their best. More recently Judy has pursued the power of making thinking visible by personally engaging with international researchers and facilitating their connection to our college. Even after 25 years Judy demonstrates the power of an active learner, and we thank you for always being willing and open to change, allowing God to be the strength of your heart in every situation. 30 years Graeme Evans is one of the most capable, thoughtful, inspiring and committed teachers and leaders who has served at the College over the past thirty years. In my conversations with students and staff, his name always produces the same response: gratitude, respect and admiration. Graeme is a godly man -- a sincerely genuine person who embodies all of the values St Philip’s espouses. In the nearly twenty five of the thirty years I have worked with him he has always treated everyone, students, staff, parents around him with the utmost respect, regardless of the situation. Speaking to students who have had Graeme as their teacher, I always receive the same response, that he was their favourite. That is because Graeme always listens, he works to help solve people’s problems and to make them feel uniquely special, whether he is their teacher, or leader. During his time as teacher. Asst Head of JS & Head of Middle School & including recently his appointment as chairman of the Australian MYSA, Graeme has been strongly supported & encouraged by his wife, Jane and we also honour her today for the part she has played. “Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me” Matthew 18:5 This is the epitome of Graeme’s leadership. “A great teacher is a great artist; his medium is not canvas, but the human soul.” So whether it be teaching Year 6, creating experiences such as Coachwood to help students learn in different settings, singing in the College choir, inspiring teachers to be the best they can be, creating, launching and leading the MS, teaching Mathematics, Mr Evans we want to honour you and thank you for serving the College and all of the community. “One hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different because Mr Evans was important in the life of a child or young person.” God understood our thirst for knowledge, and our need to be led by someone wise; He needed a heart of compassion, of encouragement, and patience; Someone who would accept the challenge regardless of the opposition; Someone who could see potential and believe in the best in others... So He made Mr Evans. Thank you Graeme for 30 years of outstanding service at St Philip’s Christian College. Have a great week. Praying for you and your family.
