I have taken the opportunity over the last couple of weeks to ask students if they were happy to be back at school and if so, why. Many of them, regardless of their age, said that they really wanted to come back to school to be with their friends and quite a few commented that they enjoy face-to-face interactions with their teacher. It has been wonderful to see just how quickly our students have reengaged with regular school life (although with increased hygiene measures) and many have done so with a renewed enthusiasm and appreciation for our school.

School community is built through ad hoc connections and coordinated activities. In recent weeks I have dedicated a substantial amount of time working with other teachers to consider what great opportunities we can offer the students in the 2nd half of the year, while respecting government restrictions. Mr Richardson has come up with some very positive initiatives for sport which he will share with you. I'm also excited to let you know that Expression will run again this year. The teachers who invest so much time into this wonderful event have come up with some very creative ways of engaging the school community in our artworks, drama performances, music and technology projects. While it is likely that we will need to ticket the event and ask our visitors to come for a set session so we can encourage social distancing, we think that fewer people in the hall at any one time and also displaying works in different rooms could be very worthwhile. 

I spent some time with the Year 12 leaders recently to discuss the cultural events for them in their final few months at the school. A few years after students finish their HSC memories of maths formulae and English novels fade; however, students don't forget the wonderful experiences and interactions they had in their final years at school. To try and ensure that we can create positive, enduring memories our Year 12 leaders are talking with Mr Smith, Mr Peters and the other Year 12 students to think creatively about how they can hold an excellent graduation ceremony, while respecting government regulations on large gatherings. Thankfully Mr Smith was able to move the Year 12 camp from the beginning of Term 2, which was not allowed to run, to after the HSC trials. This is a great blessing because outdoor education and camping opportunities are an important part of school life.

We hope to be able to share with you other exciting plans we have for all students across the school for the 2nd half of the year in future newsletter articles.

Praise be to our Sovereign God who has provided us with wonderful opportunities at our school and has guided and protected us through these difficult times. 

I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O most high. Psalm 9:1

Mr Brett Hartley
Principal

On Tuesday morning I present the Junior School with a problem that we all can solve. Last week’s problem was, “How many words can you make with the letters in 'Shire Christian'?” It was wonderful to see everyone have a go at this challenge from Kindergarten to Year 6. Classes and students worked hard to find as many words as they could. Some students found more than 100 words, others more than 200 words!

On Thursday morning our House Leaders present with an engaging pre-recorded video and on Friday we Zoom our award assembly. We have been taking photos of the students who receive awards and emailing the photo to their parents.

Carnivals

Government guidelines mean that we won't be running the athletics carnival this year. However, we are currently looking at ways in which we can still collect times and distances for key events so that in the unlikely event that the State Athletics Carnival goes ahead, we may be able to enter students in a ‘Mock Zone Carnival’.

Students will still be able to enjoy the thrill of racing, throwing discus and shot put and high jumping though! Athletics skills will continue to be taught and practiced in Physical Education lessons and during Sport.

Mr Paul Carter
Head of Junior

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. 

The dates for National Reconciliation Week remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively. (source: Reconciliation Australia website: https://www.reconciliation.org.au/national-reconciliation-week/)

After the virtual presentation, parents had the opportunity to ask questions which were answered live by the panel of executive, teachers and support staff. 

Principal Brett Hartley encouraged prospective enrolments to consider the caring community, Christian teaching and professional development of staff, as some of the important qualities to think about when choosing a school.

The next school tour is slated for September 17 and the school will determine closer to the time whether it will be on site or online, according to the health advice provided.

Current Shire Christian School parents are reminded to submit an application form well in advance for siblings not currently enrolled in the school.

For enrolment enquiries, please contact our registrar Mrs Terry Mann or call the school on (02) 85255111.

A special congratulations to the following students:

• Most km’s (primary male) - Jacob Martin
• Most km’s (primary female) - Olive Wanless
• Most km’s (secondary male) - Noah Anderson
• Most km’s (secondary female) - Cora Martin
• Most km’s (staff) - Mrs Jackson
• Most km’s (combined family) - The Murrays
• Quickest student (primary male) - Nicholas Clapham
• Quickest student (primary female) - Bethany Hall 
• Quickest student (U15 male) - Noah Anderson
• Quickest student (U15 female) - Theodora Murray
• Quickest student (open male) - Jayden McGregor
• Quickest student (open female) - Aimee Rigg

The event for June is now officially open. This time you only have a choice of one distance (3km) and results will be sorted according to your age division. We also have a staff/community group so everyone is welcome to take part. 

If you haven’t yet tried it out, simply download the app, register with your name as your username, search for our school and enter ‘scrun’ as a password and get moving. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the month again for the winning house as well as individual student prizes.

Head of Sport

We are living in troubled days - and perhaps the most troubling thing is the feeling of uncertainty about the future. How long will the threat of the COVID-19 last, and how long, if ever(?), will it take to recover from its effects on our economic stability and our future prosperity? What lies ahead for our children and their children?

Perhaps the most troubling aspect of this uncertainty is that, as a society, we have totally ridiculed, ignored and discarded the ‘roadmap’ which God, through Moses, tells us is absolutely necessary for our prosperity and even our survival! When the Sovereign Creator of all things was preparing his Covenant People to live and prosper under his blessing in the Promised Land - the land HE had prepared for them - he gave them specific, detailed Written Instructions to ensure their success. As he had reminded them back in 4:7-8 - “What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him? And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today?”.

It was such a simple and beneficial proposition; but, did they keep their side of the bargain? No!  I wonder why we never learn, even from their sad history!  As the Apostle Paul reminds us: “These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfilment of the ages has come.” (1 Corinthians 10:11). If only we would bow humbly, in repentance and faith, before our Creator, and acknowledge our dependance on Him, and submit to His Scriptures as the only reliable ‘roadmap’ for our future, we could discover the truth and reliability of his promises!

It needs to be emphasised, however, that such a commitment to obedience must be predicated on our recognition of a need for his gift of saving faith. Our innate sinful condition renders us unable to obey his Word in our own strength. We need the power of the Holy Spirit working within us, and this is only possible by our accepting Jesus as our Saviour and submitting to him as the Lord of all our lives. Some of the saddest words in Scripture are what Paul had to say about the failure of his own people to take this first step: “For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.” (Romans 10:2-4).

Let us all make a start back on the road to health and prosperity by teaching our children and grandchildren, through prayer, precept and example, to put their trust in Jesus, and to make the Bible their ‘roadmap’ for life. And let us give thanks to our loving heavenly Father that, in his providence and by his grace, we share together a school community that recognises and openly acknowledges the firm foundation of Scripture for all that we do in teaching and learning.

Please note, for families who are isolating during this time, or for anyone who would prefer an ‘online lesson’, these can continue through Zoom.

If you would like more information, or to enrol in the program, please visit our Peripatetic site. This page is updated a couple times each week with the latest news and information.

Filling a small shoebox can teach a child about the love of God, lead him or her to faith in Christ, inspire pastors and plant new churches. Through Operation Christmas Child children have the opportunity to be involved in “The Greatest Journey”, a 12-week discipleship program that teaches children the Gospel of Jesus Christ. See the table below that shows the eternal impact of one shoebox!

Every shoe box is a Gospel Opportunity.

Want to be involved?

Collect a pre-printed shoebox and instructions from the table in the Breezeway. Spend some time now or in the school holidays collecting items to fill your box. Return it to the Secondary School Library by Week 3 of Term 3. All items must be new.

Alternatively, you may wish to donate items that can be used to pack boxes (eg school supplies, hygiene items etc). A donations box can be found in the breezeway. 

We are happy to accept any items you may find “on sale”, that was an unwanted and unused new gift, or that you feel can help contribute to a box. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support of this program. Please pray that through each and every gift that the school raises in 2020 and beyond, God will bring to pass His promise in Revelation 7:9-10 of a great multitude of believers in Heaven that no one can count. 

If you have any questions, or you are able to support this program in other ways, please do not hesitate to contact me lcorban@shirechristian.nsw.edu.au.

New technologies taking over the modern tradie’s toolbox

Tech that combines real world with computer generated images – like Microsoft’s wearable HoloLens – are starting to be employed by building designers, architects and painters to allow clients to interact in a realistic way with a space before making concrete design-based decisions. They’re serious game-changers at IKEA, where customers can place products true-to-size in a space by downloading their app. In construction jobs, the same tech is creeping in to test structural changes onsite before they’re implemented.
