The Year 12 students will have a week of study leave before their externally set written SACE Examinations begin. The examinations are spread over 3 weeks. Not all Year 12 subjects have external examinations and as such some of our students who have completed all their work will now be finished. Please pray for our Year 12 students throughout this time that they would remain focused, be able to complete their work and study well in preparation for their examinations. The two final events for the Year 12 students will be the Year 12 Formal and our Presentation Night.

Presentation Night A reminder that our final night for the year is Presentation Night on Thursday, 13 December.

Volume 13, Issue 16 Friday, October 26, 2018 Dear School Family,
Welcome to Term 4 and
especially to our new families
who will be joining us for next
year and will now be
receiving the fortnightly
newsletter.
Term 3 ended really well with the Year 9
students all returning safely on the last Friday
from their adventure camp. It was a great
experience and a highlight of the challenge and
resilience building focus we have for our Year 9
students. The camp involved bushwalking,
camping and kayaking.
It was also really great to be able to return safely
to Adelaide on the first Monday of the holidays
with the team that were on the Missions Trip in
Cambodia. I have a great sense of relief when all
our students are safely back.
I trust the holiday break was relaxing and
refreshing and for our Year 12 students that it
was a very productive time.
Year 12
Our Year 12 students finish their formal lessons
this week. The last Friday is a special day as we
have a breakfast for all the Year 12 students and
their families. This is provided by our Parents
and Friends and we are greatly appreciative of
their wonderful support. The breakfast is followed
by the final Year 12 Assembly which is a
wonderful time of celebration. We laugh together
and there are also some tears as we realise their
time with us is coming to an end. I find it very
moving to see photos of the Year 12 students as
little kids and then the contrast to how they look
now. The Year 12 students will have a week of
study leave before their externally set written
SACE Examinations begin. The examinations
are spread over 3 weeks. Not all Year 12
subjects have external examinations and as such
some of our students who have completed all
their work will now be finished. Please pray for
our Year 12 students throughout this time that
they would remain focused, be able to complete
their work and study well in preparation for their
examinations. The two final events for the Year
12 students will be the Year 12 Formal and our
Presentation Night.
As the Year 12’s finish it also gives the Year 11’s
the opportunity to step up and be the senior
students in the life of the school. It will also be
exciting to have the Year 11’s lead us in
Assemblies for the remainder of the year.
Presentation Night
A reminder that our final night for the year is
Presentation Night on Thursday, 13 December.
This is the highlight in the life of the school and it
is an expectation that all students attend. It is
held in the week after the middle school
examinations. This enables the staff and
students involved in the many musical and dance
performances time to finalise their items without
the pressure of examinations and reports.
Awards Assembly
I was also greatly encouraged by the
achievements of our students in the last term
and this was recognised at our Awards
Assembly. Students were presented with Awards
for Future Problem Solving, achievements in
National Competitions for English, and
Geography, Excellence in Attitude and
Excellence in Academic Achievement Awards.
We had a really good number of students receive
their Character, Service and Influence Award
(CSI) at the Bronze, Silver and Gold Level.

It is really wonderful to be able to celebrate the achievements of our
students as a community.
School Family News
A key scripture for this year has been Romans 12:15. “Rejoice with
those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn”. Sadly this scripture
has been very true for the Temple Community this week as one of our
parents Marco Dosljak was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident.
He has 3 great sons Lewis Yr 11, Oliver Yr 9 and Thomas Yr 7 and a
wonderful wife Brandi. Our love, thoughts and prayers continue to be
with the family. Another key scripture for this year has been from
Revelation 21:4. It reminds us of the hope we have in God and that
one day “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no
more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone
forever”. For now very sadly we have to live with the reality of what
has happened. Please continue to pray for the family and as a
community we will continue to support and journey through life with
them.

National Finals Future Problem Solving Competition
On Friday, October 19, a small group of students and accompanying
teachers woke up early to travel to Melbourne to participate in the
2018 Future Problem Solving National Finals. Along with other
students from around Australia, Maria Cho, Jedd Ryan, Ben Veitch,
Chengcheng Zheng, and Samuel Wabnitz were challenged to solve
possible future problems around cloud storage.
The finals commenced with a celebration dinner at Monash University,
where students could meet other participants and learn more about
the Future Problem Solving organisation. Prior to this students spent
the day in Melbourne, visiting the Aquarium and other sites around the
Melbourne CBD.
On Saturday, students travelled to Nossal High School for the day of
competition. The year 8 team competed in the middle division of the
Global Issues Problem Solving, collaboratively brainstorming possible
problems and solutions in response to a given future scene. Using the
design thinking process, students devised an action plan based on
their best solution idea. The group then had to design a creative
presentation that clearly showed their Action Plan and how their
solution would solve the problem. Whilst the group did not place, they
are to be commended on their outstanding efforts which place them in
the top 10% of all competing schools nationwide. Samuel Wabnitz
travelled with the team as a reserve and he had the opportunity to
participate in solving the problem as well. He was placed in a team
with reserve students from other competing schools to work on the
same problem. Samuel’s team were placed third, a great achievement
for the team and Samuel. Participating in the finals was a wonderful
learning experience for all involved and the students are looking
forward to applying the skills they have learnt to participate in the
2019 Future Problem Solving Competition.
