Volume 14, Issue 14 Friday, September 13, 2019 Dear School Family, Last week we held

our annual

Thanksgiving Chapel,

with an official

opening of our

Covered Outdoor

Learning Area as well

as the newly refurbished Science

Laboratory. Thank you to our guests who

attended. It is an important event in the

life of Temple where we get to honour

those who have made significant

contributions to our community.

The service was a wonderful celebration

and a great opportunity to be thankful for

God’s incredible provision. Our Prefects

were able to thank the various levels of

Government, Associations, professional

services, groups and individuals who have

significantly contributed to the life of

Temple.

It was a special time to honour Mr Brian

Hagger who retired as Headmaster of

Temple in 2006. He was recognised in the

Australia Day honours this year and also

celebrated his 80th Birthday.

Being thankful is an important part of our

life in Christ. We are not necessarily

thankful for the situations we are in or

circumstances that are occurring around

us. Life can be very difficult and at times

even tragic. In the midst of these

situations we can still be thankful for

God’s never ending love and grace in our

lives. We can be thankful that God is good

all the time and that we can trust Him. We

are not thankful for all situations but we

can be thankful in all situations.

It is exciting to see the East Building

Extension project well underway, with

pouring of the first floor slab happening

earlier this week. Very soon the roof will

be on, and we look forward to seeing

progress throughout the rest of the year.

There is a great view from the current

Student Learning Hub, and we’re really

starting to see how well the new spaces

will connect in with our current facilities.

Congratulations to Mrs McMahon and the

Year 9 & 10 Dance classes, on a

wonderful showcase event last week. The

students really persevered towards putting

on their most polished performance, and

we really appreciate the effort Mrs

McMahon puts in to give these classes an

opportunity to showcase their hard work.

We look forward to finishing this term off

with some Year Level excursions for

students in years 8 to 10. As we head

towards the final stretch, I would

encourage students to consider

nominating themselves for a Character,

Service, Influence Award if they haven’t

already received one this year.

Announcing an ‘Evening at the Oscars’. This is a new event to our school,

and its purpose is to acknowledge, celebrate and award Performing Arts

students in Years 10-12. We have included one award for Best Film Score

Composition in Year 9. Students are nominated for an award based on

their results. A bit like the Oscars, people are invited because they are

nominated and the winners are announced during the evening’s proceed-

ings.

There will be an MC, photographer, and videography throughout the even-

ing. The evening will consist of some student work being displayed, and

the Year 11 class band will be performing items throughout the evening, in between awards being announced. Food will be

served by our school Food and Hospitality team under the guidance of Miss Annie Mott.

The evening is an invitation only event.

When? Thursday 26th September at 6.00pm (Week 10), arrival on the red carpet from 5.20pm.

This is a red carpet event, and therefore requires all nominated students to dress accordingly (ie. girls in formal dresses/

smart dresses either long or knee length, and boys in shirt, tie and formal pants). Smart formal dress applies to parents

and friends purchasing tickets also. The presentation of the entire evening is to honour and celebrate our beautiful artistic

students.

If you have received a letter via email regarding this event, then your child has been nominated. Please ensure you pur-

chase your tickets via the Trybooking website link on your letter. Tickets cannot be purchased at the door.

From Mr Marcel Rijken:

Our team for Cambodia will be leaving on Monday,16 September, and will be away for 2 weeks. From Paralowie Campus, Pheavarth Hean is attend-

ing the trip. This year the team will be led by Mr Brad Adams and the other staff members are Mrs Tracy Montesi, Mrs Shannalee Mulder, Mr Todd

Purdy and Mr Mark Ryan. Please pray for the team over the next 2 weeks.

The term is drawing quickly to a close. Planning is well underway for next year as we have now received all the subject selections from students who

will be in Years 9 to 12 in 2020. Our current Year 12 students only have 2 weeks in Term 4 before they go on study leave followed by their final exter-

nally set examinations. Please continue to pray for our Year 12 students as they complete their final assessment tasks and prepare for their examina-

tions. They have been a wonderful blessing throughout this year and great encouragers to the other students.

Prayer Chain If you are in need of prayer, please email Linda Hunter at linda.hunter@tcc.sa.edu.au and she will add your prayer need to the prayer list.

Information will be kept confidential and no names are sent out on the Prayer Chain unless specifically requested. If you would like to pray for

the specific needs of the school at home, please email Linda Hunter at the address above to be added to receive the Emailed Prayer List.

PARENTS AND FRIENDS REGIFT BOX As a Parents and Friends committee, we fundraise, and use the money we raise to improve areas in

the school for the students.

Previous projects we have funded are: the heaters under the verandas, a refrigerated drink fountain, a

cover over the bike rack and the digital clock for the courtyard.

We would like to ask for your help in providing items for our next gift baskets for raffle, and give you an

opportunity to clear our some items from your home.

If you have any unopened but unwanted gifts or items at home that you would like to donate, could you bring them in to

the school front office and place them in the Re-gift Box. The box will be in the front office until the end of this term.

Dance Showcase 2019 On Wednesday the 4th of September, the Year 9 & 10 Dancers, plus Meg from year 11, performed their amazing dances

learnt throughout the year. The dancing styles were Jazz Ballet, Reggaeton and Contemporary. There was a mixture of

whole class items and solo performances by Meg, Chelsea, Jada and Isabella, plus duos by Chelsea and Meg, BopPha

and Makalah, Jenny and Isabella, and Chelsea and Jada. Students showcased their own choreography, my choreography

and routines from their other technique teachers Piter (Reggaeton Teacher) and Sarah (Contemporary Teacher). For

many of the year 9s, it was their first time performing in front of such a large crowd with makeup, quick costumes changes,

and stage lighting. Thankyou to Mr Daughtry, Amy and Leanne who did a great job with the lighting and sound for the stu-

dents. Thank you teachers, parents and audience for all your wonderful support.

40 Hour Famine Congratulations to all those students (and staff) who went without food, speech,

furniture or possessions for a period of 40 hours, all to raise money as part of the 40

Hour Famine Backpack Challenge. This will support the work of World Vision

across the globe. A total of 99 students participated, who all enjoyed a pizza lunch

at the end, and who have raised over $2000 thus far. Miss Mott prepared hun-

dreds of delicious brownies, which were sold to students and staff as an additional

fundraiser. Well done to everyone who participated, and thanks to everyone who

bought a brownie!

Miss Mott, Mr Martinez, Mrs Denton & Mrs Robertson

Basecamp On Friday 23rd August, the Year 11 Physical Education and Year 11 Sport &

Recreation classes attended Basecamp, an indoor obstacle gym in Royal

Park. The Sport & Recreation students have been physically and mentally

preparing for the excursion, by planning and conducting training programs in

their lesson time. During the excursion, the personal trainer ran the students

through exercises that physically and mentally challenged them, and challeng-

es that required the students to demonstrate teamwork and leadership. Credit

must go to the students for working well together, for their approach to the

challenges and for the leadership that was shown throughout.

Open Boys & Girls Football On Thursday 22nd August, our Open Boys & Girls Footy teams travelled to West Beach to compete in the SACSA Carnival.

In what eventuated to being a tough day, both teams competed well throughout the day. The boys battled hard in all

games, and were well and truly in the hunt in every game, but unfortunately didn’t come away with the chocolates at all.

With Josh Wilshire being our sole Year 12 student, the rest of the team comprised of Year 10 students and were able to

learn a lot throughout the course of the day. Most Valuable Player went to Tyler Sobey for his hard running and relentless

efforts. Our girls outperformed the boys, finishing 3rd overall. The girls performed well throughout the whole day, and

demonstrated a desire to win the contested ball and push through adversity. Kayla Horn led the way for the girls, as did

Wathana Chhen. Special mention must go to Dylan Miles and Wathana Chhen, who both came off second best during

different contests. Both of these students unfortunately copped injuries from the day, but credit must go to them for the

way that they have approached their respective circumstances.

All Schools Mixed Touch On Thursday of Week 6, we took two teams to the All Schools Mixed Touch competition.

This was an Open competition, competing against predominantly Year 12 teams. Over the

two teams, we had a spread of age groups; with 4 Year 12s, 6 Year 11s and 6 Year 10s.

The second team played very well throughout the day, improving with every game played.

They ended up finishing 8th overall, playing their best games towards the end of the day.

The first team was undefeated after the round games, finishing top of their pool. They made

it through to the semi-final and were competitive throughout the whole game, coming back

from a 2-0 deficit at one stage. Unluckily, Marryatville scored after the siren to win 4-3 and

make it through to the grand final, with our team finishing 3rd overall. We are very proud of

all the efforts of those who came on the day!
