Legacy 1956. A young Greek boy arrives in Tamworth with his
two brothers and parents.
The three young boys begin school.
‘What is your name?’
‘How old are you?’
‘What religion are you?’
‘We need to put you into a scripture class.’
Questions in a foreign language swirl around them

there certainly isn’t a Greek Orthodox Church.
The Greek community in Tamworth holds a gathering

This story is being narrated and shared as a testimony

Father Michael was born in Arcadia Greece and migrated to Australia in 1965. He was ordained a deacon, then a priest in 1967. Father Michael was sent to Queensland where he served distant parishes of Greek immigrant populations, often travelling for 17 hours a day by train, going to towns and cities from Gladstone to Townsville and Emerald.

there are 750 students from Prep class to Year 12. As
Parish President and President of the Board of
Governors, Mr Theophilou worked tirelessly to
support and lead the St Euphemia community.
Furthermore, he served as President of the NSW
Intercommunities Council of the Greek Orthodox
Archdiocese of Australia.
The recounted anecdote above, highlights the legacies
and contributions that both Father Michael and Mr
Theophilou have given to countless Greeks due to
their tireless efforts in this community, school and
church. Individuals who migrate experience a loss of
cultural norms. Thus, rites of passage and religious
customs are important in the development of an
individual's cultural identity. With determination and
indefatigable zeal, these two pioneers established a
legacy so that every Greek Orthodox individual did not
and will not experience in the future, estrangement
from the Greek culture and Greek Orthodox religion,
like the three young boys from Tamworth.
It is a gift to us all. This wonderful gift needs to be
nurtured to thrive and grow. Therefore, we ask every
individual in the St Euphemia community to do just
that. Through our efforts, these two pioneers will be
remembered and their legacy continued.
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη. Eternal be their memory.

Anaphylaxis Alert There has been a rise in students diagnosed with
Anaphylaxis at our School. As a precaution and to
ensure the safety of these students, all parents are
reminded that we are a nut free school. Anaphylaxis is
a severe and sudden allergic reaction. It occurs when
a susceptible person is exposed to a specific allergen
(such as food or an insect sting). Reactions usually
begin within minutes of exposure and can progress
rapidly over a period of up to two hours. Anaphylaxis
is potentially life threatening and always requires an
emergency response.
It is very important that we safeguard these students
so that nothing happens at School which can have an
effect on their health. When packing your children’s
lunches please do not include the following foods:
peanut butter, nutella, muesli bars that contain nuts
or anything else that has traces of nuts. Please
remind students that they are not to share food with
their friends. Even the slightest contact with the
sufferer’s skin may be life threatening for some
students.

It is a day for all Australians to embrace cultural diversity and to share what we have in common. This is widely celebrated across schools, childcare centres, community groups, churches, businesses and federal, state and local government agencies.

Επαγγελματικός Προσανατολισμός της Α΄ Λυκείου Κάτι το πολύ σημαντικό για τους μαθητές της Α’ Λυκείου είναι η ‘Εργασιακή Εμπειρία’. Είναι κάτι το πολύτιμο, που δίνει την ευκαιρία στους μαθητές να δουλέψουν σε κάποιο χώρο εργασίας που τους ενδιαφέρει, έτσι ώστε να μπορέσουν να αποφασίσουν για το επάγγελμα που θα εξασκήσουν στο μέλλον. Πολλοί μαθητές επιστρέφουν απ’ αυτό το πρόγραμμα κάθε χρόνο κατενθουσιασμένοι με την ιδέα να γίνουν νηπιαγωγοί, δημοσιογράφοι ή μηχανολόγοι! Άλλοι όμως επιστρέφουν από το πρόγραμμα αυτό λέγοντας ότι η καριέρα που φιλοδοξούσαν να ακολουθήσουν δεν τους ταιριάζει και έτσι πρέπει να διαλέξουν κάτι άλλο. Ελπίζουμε οι μαθητές μας της Α’ Λυκείου να επιστρέψουν με πολύτιμες γνώσεις και πείρα όσον αφορά τη μελλοντική τους καριέρα. Το πρόγραμμα Εργασιακής Εμπειρίας φέτος θα λάβει χώραν από Δευτέρα 3 Απριλίου, μέχρι Παρασκευή 7 Απριλίου.
