Beloved Staff & Students

The Publications Committee developed this magazine in order to establish a strong bond between the Students and the Teachers at our College. We have included the things which, we believe, are a central part of TCC and will also develop relationships amongst students of different Year Groups and their Teachers.

We sincerely hope that all of you enjoy this inaugural publication of “The Journey of Radical Minds” and that it will become a long lasting tradition at our College.

CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS!

I should probably begin by highlighting that I do not speak for Thornlie Christian College when I say that teenage relationships aren’t an unhealthy thing. In such a contemporary media-fuelled society as our own, relationships at a young age have become an all-round accepted facet of adolescence. Posting about it incessantly on Facebook however, regardless of how innocent it seems, is not healthy – and this is generally ignored.

We’re accustomed to believe by romantic blockbuster clichés that publicised declarations of love validate or ‘prove’ feelings but if we reflect on it, this is not necessarily true. Surely I am not the only one who must laboriously scroll down pages of unfiltered teens boasting about their ‘boyfriends’/’girlfriends’ every day when I get home from school. Intimacy is central to every relationship; the personal chemistry and times you share with a friend forms   the foundation of your union. It is interpersonal, it is exclusive, and above all, it is not to be advertised on Facebook.

Advertising relationship statuses and feelings invites others to spectate and thus interfere, which can lead to jealousy, rumours and other social conflicts. But above all, it creates an unconscious divide between those in a relationship, and those not. Use the recent Valentines Day for instance; the reason why some many people were discouraged and down was because couples emphasised how they had each other, in turn making singles feel isolated, disjointed and to lose self-esteem. It’s not fair. I’m not criticizing or playing down anyone’s feelings, I’m just asking; is Facebook really the venue for that kind of emotional privacy? I’ll leave that up to you.
