Dear Temple Community, Volume 12, Issue 10 Friday July 7, 2017
Term 2 has finally come to an end and the students have worked very hard throughout this term.
Exams
The Year 8 to 10 stu-
dents are to be com-
mended as they all had 2
exams on their last day. I
have been most im-
pressed by the way the
students have embraced this time of study
and examinations. It has provided the stu-
dents an opportunity to develop their study
skills, as well as developing perseverance.
The skills they are developing now will make
a significant difference later. For the stu-
dents who really did not do any study, there
are still more opportunities to come to devel-
op these important skills.
The Turnaround Term
This is a phrase termed by Marcel Rijken
with the following explanation: “Term 3 is a
great term and one I always look forward to.
I often call it the turnaround term, as it is a
great opportunity for students to improve
their attitude marks and their subject marks.
There are no exams at the end of Term 3
and the grade given is only for that term.
Many students improve their marks in Term
3”.

Pursuing excellence for the glory of God
The Year 11 Dance was also a huge suc-
cess, with the largest attendance ever. The
students look so grown up when they are not
in their School Uniform. A big thank you to all
the staff and students, who were involved in
the organisation of these events.
Term 3 commences Wednesday July 26
Students will return next term on Wednesday,
26 July. On the Monday and Tuesday of that
week, all of the Temple staff will be attending
the Christian School Australia (CSA) Biennial
State Conference. We have over 1000 staff
from CSA schools attending this great event
and it will be held at Tyndale Christian School.
Our keynote speaker this year is Mark Sayers,
cultural commentator and Red Church Senior
Leader. His book Disappearing Church: From
Cultural Relevance to Gospel Resilience sets
the scene for his message to us. Mark is gifted
in prophetically speaking into the intersection
of faith and culture.
School Events
I had the privilege of attending the Twilight
Concert, which highlighted the awesome talent
of our Middle School Music Program.
Parents/Caregivers please note:
The Uniform Shop will not be open during the School Holidays.
Due to the Christian Schools Australia Conference on
Monday July 24th and Tuesday July 25th, Term 3 does not
commence until Wednesday July 26.

Campus Principal, Temple Christian College
Congratulations to Adam and Sarah Wolf on the
birth of their third daughter, Matilda Grace
Wolf. Born 5 weeks early, on the 29th June, she
weighed exactly 2kgs.
Email Addresses
Email addresses of our Parents/Caregivers
are vital for use as a communication tool at
Temple Christian College. Please email my
PA, Linda Hunter at:
so that we can have a record of your email
address.
Parenting Ideas Insights
This week’s article is on ‘Building Self-
Esteem Away From The Screens’. Positive
parenting is vital to develop resilience in
your children. This article gives practical
ideas to create a balance between technolo-
gy and family life.
Conclusion
Hard work creates a good work ethic, devel-
ops resilience and can achieve good results.
1 Corinthians 15:58 says ‘So friends, be
strong and immovable. Always work enthu-
siastically for the Lord, for you know that
nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.’
I trust and pray that the holiday break will be
relaxing and refreshing and I look forward to
seeing the students ready to go for next
term.
PNG Missions Trip
Our PNG missions team will be leaving in the
second week of the holiday break. They will be
working at the Sunrise Bethel Christian School
in Pt Moresby. The team will be led by Mr Tony
Hudson and Mrs Miriyam Kaladari. We have 5
students going this year and 3 of those stu-
dents also went last year. Please pray for the
staff and students involved.
Audio Visual Studies
I recently had a discussion with our Audio Visu-
al Studies Provider, who told me that Paralowie
Campus had the largest cohort (106 students)
of their 180 schools studying Audio Visual .
This is a very popular subject at our campus.
On Thursday evening of Week 9, the Year 11s kicked up their heels and
celebrated the end of exams with their dance, before most of them went
off to do their work experience in Week 10. It has been a long first se-
mester of SACE for the students, so what better way to wind down than
with dancing, pizza, a lolly buffet and mocktail slushies.
A lot of effort was put into preparing the Recital Room, and it looked a
treat, with balloons, a photo booth, light up bar, and decorations. The
students used the opportunity to dress up for the occasion, and some
even followed the masquerade theme. Both the students, and the staff,
had a great evening, and it was fantastic to see the turn out. This year’s
Year 11 Dance was the biggest ever, with 60 students attending. We
commend the students for the fun loving attitude they brought to the
night, and were pleased by how the evening brought the year level to-
gether in community.

Thursday 22nd June was our Semester 1 Twilight Concert, featuring performances by Music classes from Year 7 to Year
10.
It is always a pleasure to see the students showcase what they have achieved throughout the semester, and the standard
of performance continues to improve each time.
A number of soloists and small groups also performed, including Amy Sander on Clarinet, Kym Vo on Saxophone, a Year
10 trio (Felicity Fanto, Olivia Aphai and Trung Tran) and a Year 9 Duo (Vien Cajipe and Leanne Hester).
Thanks as always to the hard-working Music staff: Mr Daughtry, Miss Baker and Mr Buckoke who were all involved with the
various classes, as well as Mr Burfield who assisted on the evening and Miss Jones who works behind the scenes as our
Administration Assistant. I’d also like to acknowledge the work of our contracted Instrumental Music tutors who work hard
to teach students the skills on their instruments in support of what we are trying to achieve in our classes!
It was great to see how many parents, friends and extended family came along in support of the performers – thank you!
We are looking forward to our next big event which is the Music Showcase on 8th August.

Weekly Sport Netball Premierships In Week 7, three of our netball teams made it through to the Grand Finals in the Northern Zone competition. All three
teams tasted success, beating teams from Salisbury East and Paralowie. The Year 8/9 boys played well as a team, with
our players consistently beating their direct opponents throughout the course of the game. The Year 9 girls followed on
from their success in SACSA Netball, by continuing their domination on the netball court, annihilating Salisbury East. Par-
ticular mention to the Year 8 girls, who came from four goals down in the last quarter to snatch an incredible victory. Well
done to everyone who has participated in Weekly Sport throughout Term 2, and a particular congratulations to the stu-
dents who played in the Premierships.
Sam Agnew.
Staff-Student Netball On Wednesday of week 8, we had our
annual Staff-Student Netball match. Af-
ter losing last year, the staff were deter-
mined to win back their title of champi-
ons. With a great level of participation by
both staff and students, the staff man-
aged to get out to an early lead. Mr Pit-
man was eagerly commentating the
game from the sideline when he wasn’t
playing to continue building the atmos-
phere. At the end of the game, the staff
team won 12-7. Congratulations, staff!

Year 7 Good Behaviour Crystal Award
In Term One, Mr Lamont created an award to encourage good behaviour in
science. With the help of the fantastic Science Lab Assistant Mrs V, they
grew a massive crystal out of Copper Sulphate and had it mounted. The
crystal took approximately 3 months to grow.
There were many students who quali-
fied for this award, so Mr Lamont decid-
ed to have a Bunsen Burner Off…. The first student to achieve fire ‘Survivor Style,’
whilst following lab safety and procedure would take home the coveted award. The
winner was Ryan Gambling, and as you can tell from the picture he was overwhelmed
and lost for words.
Mr Lamont
Year 10 Putt Putt Boat Race
The Year 10s constructed Putt Putt boats, with a view to understanding the physics be-
hind the steam boiler. All four Year 10 classes created boats for the final race which was
run on Friday 30 June. Mr Bradtke, being a long time winner of this race in previous
years, was rather disappointed when his boats couldn’t quite get off the starting line.
Mr Lamont’s class on the oth-
er hand dominated through-
out the trails and the final
race. A small group of stu-
dents in Mr Lamont’s class
took home the trophy.
Congratulations go to the winning team headed up by Aurelia
Czudek.

This is a reminder that the school has chosen to become a "Nut Aware" school.
This awareness has been implemented because there is an increased number of students at
our school who have severe peanut/nut allergies. These students cannot be exposed to nuts
in ANY form, as this will trigger an anaphylactic reaction - that is a reaction requiring an
immediate injection of adrenalin, ambulance attendance and hospitalization.
This has very serious consequences for our students and in their best interests, we ask that care is taken with all
peanut/nuts and food containing nuts within the school. The Canteen/Home Ec. has also undertaken the change.
The school acknowledges that due to food processing practices, it is impractical to eliminate nuts or nut products
entirely from an environment where there is food. Thus "Nut Aware" School.
