'A Christian school community, helping children learn and grow to achieve their potential'.
Year 6 Art —Jack Kamleh
Dear Parents,
KOINONIA is the word that is emblazoned across the topic of our
School Logo. It’s a tricky word to define, as there is no single
word in the English language that carries the richness of its
meaning. It’s a word that appears in New Testament Scriptures
and is used to describe the experience of community, mutual
sacrifice and participation for those who follow Christ. I love that
this word is used as a banner over our School, as it speaks into
the very heart of who we are and who we hope to collectively
become as a community.
EMMANUEL is another word that I love as it reminds us of the
profound truth – God is with us!
These two words come together beautifully at our Closing
Worship Service TONIGHT where we have the opportunity to
celebrate what it means to be a part of the HCCS Community.
It’s a time where we can acknowledge the experience of
participation in our learning programs – ELC to Year 12. It’s a time
where we acknowledge our students and the determination
they have shown throughout the year. It’s a time where we
thank our Educators and our Board for the magnificent
contributions they have provided to students and families
throughout the year. It’s a time where we celebrate and give
thanks to God for his presence within our community.
We invite ALL FAMILIES to be a part of this fantastic event
tonight.

WATER PLAY FUN
The little kids can't have all the fun! The Year 10
students jumped at the chance to come over to
Verdun and join in water play with Mrs
Shepherd's Receptions last week. How good is it
going to be when they are over here all the
time?
THANK YOU SRC Semester 1 and 2 Representatives met fortnightly to
discuss the various class suggestions and other related
information. The students would share their ideas
followed by questions and small group discussion about
the benefits and cost for the School. Finally, the group
would vote and each decision needed a majority to be
passed and actioned.
SRC meetings were also used to decide on news worthy
items to be shared at Assemblies and presented to their
peers.
Students also had many opportunities to compere
special events at School including Anzac Day,
Remembrance Day, Easter and Christmas Worship
Services.
At various times throughout the year the SRC wrote to the
4 Sponsor Children that we support as a school
community through Compassion Australia.
This year the students at HCCS raised in conjunction with
the TEAR Read-a-thon, hot dogs, non uniform days, lolly
sales, book SALES a very respectable $3,900.00
It is also important to acknowledge that while the SRC is
run by the students there is an adult support network
including the Front Office Staff who collect, count and
bank money including Tracy Juers, Sandy Johnson and
Nikki Campbell, Kirby Toma, Nicolle Harders and Cathy
Johnson. Other Educators who play an important
supportive role include Colleen O’Rourke who has been
instrumental in the setup and planning of the SRC in
previous years.
Finally, congratulations to all SRC representatives for their
excellent attitude and effort in 2018. They can be proud
of their achievements.
Jeff Harrison (SRC Coordinator)
Last week, Mr Harrison thanked the SRC for the
wonderful job they have done during 2018 by giving
them a pizza lunch.
HCCS would like to Thank Mr Harrison for being
a great leader himself!
