TRANSCRIPT
(Observations from Philp Yancey in his book ldquoVanishing gracerdquo)
Our College motto is Excel with Grace But what is Godrsquos grace My simplified definition is
Godrsquos grace is Godrsquos undeserved love for me
God invites each of us to experience His love and in response share that with others When Jesus was asked what
is the most important thing His answer was ldquolove the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as you love yourselfrdquo (Matthew 2237-39)
In the bible the book of Hebrews (chapter 12 verse 15) gives
direction to those who have responded to Gods love to ldquosee that no one misses the grace of Godrdquo Godrsquos
mission to His people is to dispense grace to a world thirsty for it
ldquoIt strikes me as genuinely good news that we are
creations of a loving God who wants us to thrive
not random byproducts of a meaningless universe
Though God entered our world and demonstrated
in person that nothing ndash not even death- can
separate us from Godrsquos love That the story of Jesus
has this main theme ldquoFor God so loved the world that he gave helliprdquo That human existence will
not end with the imminent warming of our
atmosphere or the gradual cooling of our sun and
my particular destiny will not end with death That
God will balance the scales of human history not by
karma but by grace in such a way that no one will
be able to accuse God of unfairnessrdquo (Philip Yancey)
There was a survey completed in the United States asking ldquowhat words would you most like to hearrdquo I think if a similar survey was held in our community the answers would be very similar to their results
The first choice was lsquoI love yoursquo the second was lsquoI forgive yoursquo However the third choice took the researcher by surprise - lsquoSupperrsquos readyrsquo
Philip Yancey makes the same observation as the survey author did ndash that these responses provide a neat summary of the gospel story ndash the good news about Godrsquos love
The good news is
we are loved by God
forgiven by God and
invited to Godrsquos banquet table His
table is a place of sufficiency
strength and supply
There is opportunity for all of us to enjoy Godrsquos benefits now and there will be even more for us in heaven I enjoy the present and canrsquot wait for the future I pray that this is also your experience

Hello everyone
Just an update of what has been happening with
the girls in term 3 with the Chappy
We have commenced a Shine programme which is a
unique personal development mentoring tool that
uses an inspirational practical and experiential ap-
proach to learning It is based on the fact that
every life counts and makes the girls aware of this
belief with knowledge and skills to become effective
global citizens for the future They will discover
who they are and the person they want to be-
come As many young people in our communities do
not know or believe that they are valuable and
unique individuals and most struggle to find ac-
ceptance amongst their peers and genuine meaning
for their lifehellipthe programme helps them with keys
to navigate these areas SHINEGIRL normally goes
for 9 weeks but our weekly sessions are scaled
down for introductory purposes to 5 weeks I am
sure SHINEGIRL will develop further as time goes on
The core characteristics that we are touching on
this term are Value Worth Strength Choice and
Purpose So far the groups have been good and as
we all work together parents teachers and welfare
staff we will be building attributes that will help our
girls through school life and into their future to be-
come strong and have courage within themselves to
make healthy choices in life and rise to their full
potential
Happy Learning
Chaplain Vicki

Great news - we have been awarded a 2 year federally funded opportunity as a Community Hub This is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our great community The Hub will not just be for the benefit of SMC families but is open to all people from the local area
A Community Hub has the following characteristics
The Community hub is to be a safe and welcoming place
The intent of the Hub is to develop a strong inclusive community for parents especially mums with children aged 0-5
Refugee and migrant families are the key beneficiaries of the opportunities ndash it is designed to help those families assimilate into their lsquonewrsquo country
The program is to primarily benefit the young children AND their mothers
Through Hubs the clear intent is young children will become engaged in learning and that early needs are identified We expect intakes into our Kindy
Hubs are likely to be a referral point to a range of community services eg counselling therapy support financial advice
Each Hub may offer different programs As a minimum Hubs will offer
English classes
Language development opportunities
Playgroups
What next - career advice and support for mothers once their children are all at school
So that Mums can fully participate free child minding is expected with programs offered (Volunteers and community funding are therefore needed to help make this service possible )
The federal money will enable us to employ a person to coordinate the programs The Coordinator will be a link between the college and the community Relational skills are essential as well as having an understanding of the range of cultures that we connect with and will additionally connect with
If you know someone who could fill this role please invite them to make prompt contact with the college Ii is my hope that we can soon announce the appointment of a paid Hub Coordinator
Thank you for praying about and working towards a great community hub

For the third year in a row in week 1 of Term 3 Staines Memorial College Year 12 students were able to bless the Warwick Christian College by doing service activities around the school grounds Our first trip to the college as Grade 10 students in 2015 was met with caution by the Warwick community thinking our students were just out for a holiday We soon proved that our students were prepared to work hard as well as have fun Since 2015 they have welcomed us back each year with great enthusiasm and appreciation for the work we have done for the college This year 14 Year 12rsquos made the trip to Warwick in the middle of Winter Two students even braved the cold by swimming (briefly) in the schools unheated 25 metre pool Students were able to contribute to the effective running of the college by weeding gardens painting steps with the regulation yellow safety strip removing and dismantling of unwanted furniture and lots of mowing We also cut up and burnt a large gum tree Great bonfire material
As the Year 12 Co-ordinator it has been a real blessing to see this service project become a reality from its inception in 2015 It stemmed from the Cooktown outreach the previous year which saw a small number of students travel to the CCM school in Cooktown to bless that community with service projects The idea of travelling to Warwick to do the same thing but with a very much cheaper cost to students came from this outreach Warwick Christian College was ideally suited to these projects having well equipped dormitories and a commercial kitchen with a very experienced on-site cook who is also the Property Service Manager Being a new school on a very large campus this seemed to be the perfect way of blessing The Warwick Christian College As the Year 12 group finish at the end of the year hopefully blessed by their Warwick experiences I am hopeful that the
legacy of helping other schools who are not as well-resourced as Staines will be something that continues into the future I
believe it was a win for the students who had fun while learning to serve others I enjoyed the experience as the co-ordinator
although I was exhausted at the end of the 4 days Warwick Christian College staff were very blessed by the support we have
been able to offer them over the 3 years this program has been run

Hello everyone
Just an update of what has been happening with
the girls in term 3 with the Chappy
We have commenced a Shine programme which is a
unique personal development mentoring tool that
uses an inspirational practical and experiential ap-
proach to learning It is based on the fact that
every life counts and makes the girls aware of this
belief with knowledge and skills to become effective
global citizens for the future They will discover
who they are and the person they want to be-
come As many young people in our communities do
not know or believe that they are valuable and
unique individuals and most struggle to find ac-
ceptance amongst their peers and genuine meaning
for their lifehellipthe programme helps them with keys
to navigate these areas SHINEGIRL normally goes
for 9 weeks but our weekly sessions are scaled
down for introductory purposes to 5 weeks I am
sure SHINEGIRL will develop further as time goes on
The core characteristics that we are touching on
this term are Value Worth Strength Choice and
Purpose So far the groups have been good and as
we all work together parents teachers and welfare
staff we will be building attributes that will help our
girls through school life and into their future to be-
come strong and have courage within themselves to
make healthy choices in life and rise to their full
potential
Happy Learning
Chaplain Vicki

Great news - we have been awarded a 2 year federally funded opportunity as a Community Hub This is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our great community The Hub will not just be for the benefit of SMC families but is open to all people from the local area
A Community Hub has the following characteristics
The Community hub is to be a safe and welcoming place
The intent of the Hub is to develop a strong inclusive community for parents especially mums with children aged 0-5
Refugee and migrant families are the key beneficiaries of the opportunities ndash it is designed to help those families assimilate into their lsquonewrsquo country
The program is to primarily benefit the young children AND their mothers
Through Hubs the clear intent is young children will become engaged in learning and that early needs are identified We expect intakes into our Kindy
Hubs are likely to be a referral point to a range of community services eg counselling therapy support financial advice
Each Hub may offer different programs As a minimum Hubs will offer
English classes
Language development opportunities
Playgroups
What next - career advice and support for mothers once their children are all at school
So that Mums can fully participate free child minding is expected with programs offered (Volunteers and community funding are therefore needed to help make this service possible )
The federal money will enable us to employ a person to coordinate the programs The Coordinator will be a link between the college and the community Relational skills are essential as well as having an understanding of the range of cultures that we connect with and will additionally connect with
If you know someone who could fill this role please invite them to make prompt contact with the college Ii is my hope that we can soon announce the appointment of a paid Hub Coordinator
Thank you for praying about and working towards a great community hub

For the third year in a row in week 1 of Term 3 Staines Memorial College Year 12 students were able to bless the Warwick Christian College by doing service activities around the school grounds Our first trip to the college as Grade 10 students in 2015 was met with caution by the Warwick community thinking our students were just out for a holiday We soon proved that our students were prepared to work hard as well as have fun Since 2015 they have welcomed us back each year with great enthusiasm and appreciation for the work we have done for the college This year 14 Year 12rsquos made the trip to Warwick in the middle of Winter Two students even braved the cold by swimming (briefly) in the schools unheated 25 metre pool Students were able to contribute to the effective running of the college by weeding gardens painting steps with the regulation yellow safety strip removing and dismantling of unwanted furniture and lots of mowing We also cut up and burnt a large gum tree Great bonfire material
As the Year 12 Co-ordinator it has been a real blessing to see this service project become a reality from its inception in 2015 It stemmed from the Cooktown outreach the previous year which saw a small number of students travel to the CCM school in Cooktown to bless that community with service projects The idea of travelling to Warwick to do the same thing but with a very much cheaper cost to students came from this outreach Warwick Christian College was ideally suited to these projects having well equipped dormitories and a commercial kitchen with a very experienced on-site cook who is also the Property Service Manager Being a new school on a very large campus this seemed to be the perfect way of blessing The Warwick Christian College As the Year 12 group finish at the end of the year hopefully blessed by their Warwick experiences I am hopeful that the
legacy of helping other schools who are not as well-resourced as Staines will be something that continues into the future I
believe it was a win for the students who had fun while learning to serve others I enjoyed the experience as the co-ordinator
although I was exhausted at the end of the 4 days Warwick Christian College staff were very blessed by the support we have
been able to offer them over the 3 years this program has been run

Great news - we have been awarded a 2 year federally funded opportunity as a Community Hub This is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our great community The Hub will not just be for the benefit of SMC families but is open to all people from the local area
A Community Hub has the following characteristics
The Community hub is to be a safe and welcoming place
The intent of the Hub is to develop a strong inclusive community for parents especially mums with children aged 0-5
Refugee and migrant families are the key beneficiaries of the opportunities ndash it is designed to help those families assimilate into their lsquonewrsquo country
The program is to primarily benefit the young children AND their mothers
Through Hubs the clear intent is young children will become engaged in learning and that early needs are identified We expect intakes into our Kindy
Hubs are likely to be a referral point to a range of community services eg counselling therapy support financial advice
Each Hub may offer different programs As a minimum Hubs will offer
English classes
Language development opportunities
Playgroups
What next - career advice and support for mothers once their children are all at school
So that Mums can fully participate free child minding is expected with programs offered (Volunteers and community funding are therefore needed to help make this service possible )
The federal money will enable us to employ a person to coordinate the programs The Coordinator will be a link between the college and the community Relational skills are essential as well as having an understanding of the range of cultures that we connect with and will additionally connect with
If you know someone who could fill this role please invite them to make prompt contact with the college Ii is my hope that we can soon announce the appointment of a paid Hub Coordinator
Thank you for praying about and working towards a great community hub

For the third year in a row in week 1 of Term 3 Staines Memorial College Year 12 students were able to bless the Warwick Christian College by doing service activities around the school grounds Our first trip to the college as Grade 10 students in 2015 was met with caution by the Warwick community thinking our students were just out for a holiday We soon proved that our students were prepared to work hard as well as have fun Since 2015 they have welcomed us back each year with great enthusiasm and appreciation for the work we have done for the college This year 14 Year 12rsquos made the trip to Warwick in the middle of Winter Two students even braved the cold by swimming (briefly) in the schools unheated 25 metre pool Students were able to contribute to the effective running of the college by weeding gardens painting steps with the regulation yellow safety strip removing and dismantling of unwanted furniture and lots of mowing We also cut up and burnt a large gum tree Great bonfire material
As the Year 12 Co-ordinator it has been a real blessing to see this service project become a reality from its inception in 2015 It stemmed from the Cooktown outreach the previous year which saw a small number of students travel to the CCM school in Cooktown to bless that community with service projects The idea of travelling to Warwick to do the same thing but with a very much cheaper cost to students came from this outreach Warwick Christian College was ideally suited to these projects having well equipped dormitories and a commercial kitchen with a very experienced on-site cook who is also the Property Service Manager Being a new school on a very large campus this seemed to be the perfect way of blessing The Warwick Christian College As the Year 12 group finish at the end of the year hopefully blessed by their Warwick experiences I am hopeful that the
legacy of helping other schools who are not as well-resourced as Staines will be something that continues into the future I
believe it was a win for the students who had fun while learning to serve others I enjoyed the experience as the co-ordinator
although I was exhausted at the end of the 4 days Warwick Christian College staff were very blessed by the support we have
been able to offer them over the 3 years this program has been run

For the third year in a row in week 1 of Term 3 Staines Memorial College Year 12 students were able to bless the Warwick Christian College by doing service activities around the school grounds Our first trip to the college as Grade 10 students in 2015 was met with caution by the Warwick community thinking our students were just out for a holiday We soon proved that our students were prepared to work hard as well as have fun Since 2015 they have welcomed us back each year with great enthusiasm and appreciation for the work we have done for the college This year 14 Year 12rsquos made the trip to Warwick in the middle of Winter Two students even braved the cold by swimming (briefly) in the schools unheated 25 metre pool Students were able to contribute to the effective running of the college by weeding gardens painting steps with the regulation yellow safety strip removing and dismantling of unwanted furniture and lots of mowing We also cut up and burnt a large gum tree Great bonfire material
As the Year 12 Co-ordinator it has been a real blessing to see this service project become a reality from its inception in 2015 It stemmed from the Cooktown outreach the previous year which saw a small number of students travel to the CCM school in Cooktown to bless that community with service projects The idea of travelling to Warwick to do the same thing but with a very much cheaper cost to students came from this outreach Warwick Christian College was ideally suited to these projects having well equipped dormitories and a commercial kitchen with a very experienced on-site cook who is also the Property Service Manager Being a new school on a very large campus this seemed to be the perfect way of blessing The Warwick Christian College As the Year 12 group finish at the end of the year hopefully blessed by their Warwick experiences I am hopeful that the
legacy of helping other schools who are not as well-resourced as Staines will be something that continues into the future I
believe it was a win for the students who had fun while learning to serve others I enjoyed the experience as the co-ordinator
although I was exhausted at the end of the 4 days Warwick Christian College staff were very blessed by the support we have
been able to offer them over the 3 years this program has been run
