To watch young people take up an activity with passion and then practice and train until they have mastered the skill is always inspiring.

FROM THE HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOLResilience in Education is something that really matters
On Wednesday 29 August we had the immense pleasure to have Colleen Hirst come and speak to us regarding a matter that is close to all parents,resilience. Resilience is described as the ability to stick with it despite hardships setbacks. We have a genuine desire to look after and help our students butthe information session looked at how we can help children to deal with adversity, how we cope with the day to day challenges of becoming resilient?
Colleen identified what it means to be resilient she stated that resilience is wisdom the ability to cope with a range of circumstances both good and bad.Three areas greatly affected the capacity to cope;
CohesionCohesion – How much family time are we spending together and is this time where we can relate to each other as a family
FlexibilityFlexibility – How does your family approach a change in routine or circumstances?
CommunicationCommunication – Does your family spend time with each other and help children practice basic social skills.
We were also warned of the dangers of helicopter parenting this is where we are living our lives through our children being overly protective of hardship whenit comes our children’s way. How can we do this? The first step is to understand that as a parent we model it ourselves 90 per cent of the message that ourchildren receive comes from their observed responses.
What can we do about it? There are three things to think of as we head towards
Have we given hope, meaning and purpose to our children are they able to see the bigger picture not just the ability to pass the test but a deeper sense ofmeaning
Do our students have someone to believe in us?
Do students have genuine challenges to overcome?
In the end our challenge as parents is become more aware of how events and circumstances affect us and once we come into that awareness.
In upcoming news we look forward next week on Friday September 7 to welcoming grandparents to our community. Classes are busy with preparingpresentations that I am sure will wow and amaze people and the opportunity will be given to Grandparents to buy a book at the bookfare in the Junior SchoolLibrary.

FROM THE COLLEGE CHAPLAINBe strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.’ Joshua 1:9
The Official Opening of the 'Rawdon Middleton VC Sports Complex' recently was a very special occasion, in honour of a great Australian.
But who was Rawdon Middleton?
Middleton was the great-nephew of the explorer, Hamilton Hume, he was born in Sydney and grew up in Western NSW playing a lot of sport including cricketand tennis. However, it was his incredible strength and courage shown in WWII that earned the highest military award for gallantry - the Victoria Cross.
The incident that earned him the VC happened on 28 November 1942.
Middleton and his crew took off on their 29th mission, toward Italy, but the aircraft was struck by artillery. One shell exploded in the cockpit woundingMiddleton in the face and destroying his right eye. The same shell also wounded the second pilot and wireless operator. Middleton lost consciousness andthe aircraft dived to just 800 feet before the second pilot brought it under control. They were hit by more artillery as they tried to escape the target.
When Middleton regained consciousness he began the flight back over the Alps towards England, knowing that his damaged aircraft did not have enoughfuel to complete the journey. The crew discussed the possibility of abandoning the aircraft or trying to land in northern France but Middleton decided to headfor England where his crew would have the chance to bail out.
As they approached the French coast the plane was again hit again but flew on. Now over the English coast with only five minutes of fuel left, Middletonordered the crew to abandon the aircraft. Five men left the stricken plane, and two remained on board to help Middleton before attempting to parachute tosafety.
To avoid the possibility of loosing civilian lives Middleton crashed the plane into the sea. Tragically, Middleton did not survive.

Hopefully, we will never have to face such a predicament in our lives. But our lives can be overwhelming and the Bible encourages us to be strongstrong andcourageouscourageous.
The words from the verse are emblazoned on the new sports complex as a reminder not only of Middleton's strength and courage, but for for all of us. Thesewords come from Joshua 1:9.
Life is overwhelming at times. But as children of God, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, our strength and courage comes not from our ownresources, but from our creator God, who is always present.

BOOK WEEK - FROM MRS HARRISBook Week at Thomas Hassall Anglican College
We love reading and books at Thomas Hassall and had great fun with Book Week.
The students dressed up as their favourite book character. They brought the book into College and had fun explaining to their friends and teachers why theyliked that particular character. I heard lots of great discussion about quality literature as I visited the different rooms. For part of the day, we were joined by ourspecial Japanese visitors from Fukuroi High School (our Sister School in Japan). They were thoroughly entertained by the sight of the teachers also in dress-up – the teachers dressed as characters from ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and the three Mr Incredibles evoked much hilarity. One particular highlight for themwas when we went into Year 6 where the students have been studying ‘Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes’ by Eleanor Coerr. The visitors wereimpressed by the depth of the response that the students had had to this moving book.
We also had a book swap, where we raised money for two charities; ‘Room to Read’ and ‘TEAR Australia: Build a Classroom’. Many students were especiallygenerous and donated their pocket money for these 2 very worthy causes. We raised a grand total of $1354.45 Excellent effort Junior School!

PREP - YEAR 2 AUTHOR VISIT DURING BOOK WEEKBook Week Author VisitBook Week Author Visit
On the Friday of Book Week, Prep – Year 2 had a visit from the author and illustrator of the Bobson Farm Collection. The first book, ‘Phineas Pig and the MudPuddle’, was published in 2014. ‘Harriet Bird’s Big Mystery’ was subsequently published in 2016, with a 3rd book in the pipeline.
Julie Robertson (the illustrator) has been painting these animals for many years and would often be told that they should be turned into children’s books. Witha plethora of art as inspiration, author Sharon Perry had no problem writing these beautiful books.
Julie says that personifying these animals has been the most fun she has had in her career and these endearing works are loved by children and adults alike.
The children got to explore a world of colourful ball trees, square dogs and nervous little birds who use umbrellas when Sharon read the story about PhineasPig to them. She then talked to the children about what you need to do to write a story. She said the most important thing is that you have to have a goodimagination. Julie agreed and said that she has great fun painting a pig with a square nose.
We have had a plethora of author visits this year. The teachers feel that these visits have really helped to hone the children's writing skills. It also of coursehelps foster a love of reading which is crucial in all aspects of life. I have just received the ICAS Writing results and we did well in this competition, receivingmerits, credits and distinctions (I will publish the achievements in The Way when I receive all of the ICAS tests).
