MOCK – THE TRIAL CONTINUES
Last Friday the Mock Trial team competed
against Coonabarabran High School in the 2nd
elimination round. The team consisted of Tom
Nobes and Maddison Crowe as barristers,
Sophie Jones as solicitor, Rebecca Cole
and Laura Van Uum as witnesses and David
Mackender as magistrate’s clerk. The case was
a civil case in which we claimed damages and
an injunction against the Defendant, Burwood
Council for private nuisance. We adduced
evidence to show that the roots of three figs
trees which were planted and maintained by
Burwood Council were causing us loss of
enjoyment of our land. We claimed that the
fig tree roots had caused damage to our brick
fence, walkway and verandah. The Defence
argued that they had responded promptly to
our complaints and taken all reasonable steps
to stop the nuisance. They also argued that we had
caused damage to the root blocker that they had
installed. We managed to convince the magistrate
that the council had caused interference with our
enjoyment of our land by causing us great stress
and inconvenience. We also won the important
skills side of the trial 265-259 points. This means
that we move into the 3rd elimination round, one
of 16 schools out of the 185 in the competition
this year.
YEAR 11 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS
The Year 11 Preliminary Course winds up this term
and examinations commence next week. We have
had to change the original schedule published in
our calendar for these exams. Chemistry will be
the first exam on Monday afternoon and students
do not have to come to school on that Monday
if they don’t do Chemistry. Tuesday is a normal
school day with some students involved in ISA
Athletics. Teachers I am sure will be having
revision lessons. Students are expected to be at
school whether they have an exam or not on the
following days.
HSC MUSIC & VISUAL ARTS
Examiners from the BOSTES will be here next

Thank you to all, we are looking forward to a fantastic fair!
The Spring Fair Committee
week to examine both Music I and II students
who, I know, have been honing their pieces
over the last few weeks. Tom Morris had to
travel to Sydney this week to perform his music
and by all accounts did well. We wish the other
students all the best with their performances.
The art major works were sent to Sydney this
week for marking. I know that these students
are pleased that they are completed giving
them more time to devote to revision.
FAST FACT
We’re all pretty clued up about Twitter, (well
I’m not) but what about a degree in it? At
Leeds Trinity University, you’ll learn about the
significance and philosophical implications of
social media, as well as taking part in a 12week work experience placement in a digital
agency. It’s a hands-on degree and with a
staggering 91% employment or further study
rate after university, perhaps one to watch.
Thought : Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself. Each day has enough trouble of its
own. Matthew 6:34
TREASURE
& BOOKS
STALL
Please bring in your
‘treasures’ and books to
be sold at the Spring Fair.
Stall coordinators are
looking for past family
treasures including
books, records – yes, the
vinyl ones!, prints that
might need a new wall
to hang on, children’s
toys that are still happy
enough to go to a new
generation.
All saleable items can be
left on the Student Liaison
Office verandah in the
corner closest to carpark.
These donations will be
cleared away each day.

FROM THE
CHAPLAIN
Rev. Tony Card
“Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to
condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness
leads to justification and life for all.” (Romans 5:18,
NRSV)
As we come to the end of our series looking at
humankind being made in the image of God we
conclude by looking back to the beginning of our
relationship with God whilst at the same time looking
to the future. Paul reminds us of the consequences of
Adam’s sin - that we are all tainted by it and are all
victims of it. The consequence of this sin is that we are
condemned. We are all essentially ‘dead men walking’.
But Paul doesn’t leave it there, for sin does not have
the last word. Paul encourages us with the reminder
that Jesus’ act of sacrifice and resurrection has not only
reversed the impact of Adam’s sin but has restored us
to being reflections of God’s image. Because of our
faith and trust in Jesus God no longer sees us as sinful
creatures but as pure expressions of his wholeness
and love.
This is a blessing that we cannot take lightly. We should
not be complacent about our forgiveness and our future
with Christ. His sacrifice does not give us licence to keep
on living life our own way and then accept his ‘get out of
gaol free’ card. We have a responsibility to live our life
reflecting God’s image to all around us. We don’t receive
a gift and then leave it unopened until moments before our
death. We want to enjoy the benefit of that gift now and
into the future. It should be the same for the gift that God
has given us…we should open it now and enjoy its benefits
now and into the future.
With every blessing, Rev. Tony Card
Thought for the week: ‘If, because of the one man’s trespass,
death exercised dominion through that one, much more
surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the
free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through
the one man, Jesus Christ.’ (Romans 5:17,NRSV)
Operation Christmas Child drawing to a close
We have now collected six things to go into Christmas
boxes. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so
generously. I am sure that we will surpass last years’ tally
of 213 boxes. If you still wish to donate items then they
will be gratefully received. We will be holding a packing
day on Saturday 11th October from 2pm in the Bickerdike
to pack what we have received.
Next week we are focusing our chapel collection on raising
the money needed to send the boxes overseas. Freight costs
$9 per box so we are looking to raise in excess of $1800.
We have about $200 from cash donations so far so there
is a way to go. If every student brought $4 to chapel next
week then we would comfortably meet this target for about
U15s Football Team into Final
the same price as a cup of coffee.
Confirmations
As we were unable to proceed with confirmations
at the College this year, the Dean of All Saints’
Cathedral, the Very Reverend Anne Wentzel has
invited interested students to make their Confirmation
at the Cathedral on Sunday, 30th November.
Preparation classes will be held at the Cathedral
commencing on Saturday 11th October at 3pm.
Enquiries should be directed to Rev. Tony on 6332
7370 or tony.card@saints.nsw.edu.au Registrations
need to be completed by Wednesday, 8th October.
A Father’s Day blessing
It’s Father’s Day this Sunday. Here is a prayer of
blessing I found that you may want to pray for your
father.
God our Father,
in your wisdom and love you made all things.
Bless these men,
that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers.
Let the example of their faith and love shine forth.
Grant that we, their sons and daughters,
may honour them always
with a spirit of profound respect.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen

The U15 Football Team made the final with a huge win against
Churches United in the semi-final last Saturday. Ashleigh James
scored three goals, Jakiya Whitfeld two goals, Phoebe Reynolds
and Sophie Chirgwin one goal each. Ashleigh was player of the
match. The College is looking forward to as many people as
possible coming along and supporting both the U15 and U17
teams in their finals this coming Saturday, 6 September at Proctor
Park at 1:30am.
