PRE-KINDERGARTEN NEWS
Billy icing an oval biscuit
Last week we started the Jolly Phonics/THRASS Program. We
have identified many words starting with an ‘s’ and an ‘a’ sounds,
read the Jolly Phonics big book, listened to the Jolly Songs
and formed the ‘s’ and ‘a’ letters in our workbooks. We created
some spiders to go in a web and some apples on “Mr Brown’s
Magnificent Apple Tree”. In fact, this story has become a class
favourite, so yesterday the children enjoyed acting out their
very own hilarious version. We had a very animated Mr Brown,
five apples, a tree and some very hungry mice! The children
have been developing their fine motor skills when building with
construction toys, using tongs to pick up corks, playing with play
dough and using the computer mouse! On Friday we will mix yellow
and blue paint to make the colour green (midori in Japanese)
and practice our cutting skills while cutting out a diamond shape
to make a kite. We thank all our specialist teachers for their
interesting and stimulating lessons and we look forward to our
Teddy Bears Picnic next Friday!

From the
Chaplain
Rev. Tony Card
Jesus said to Nicodemus and to us
‘For God so loved the world that he
gave his only Son, so that everyone
who believes in him may not perish
but may have eternal life.’ (John
3:16, NRSV)
I often remind my students and
church congregations that if there is
only one verse of scripture that they
commit to memory then this is it.
This is the great truth of our faith.
This is what sets Christianity apart
from all other faith systems - that
God sacrificed his own Son because we are
incapable of paying the price for our sins.
These words come at the end of a discussion
between Jesus and Nicodemus that we find
in chapter 3 of John’s gospel. Nicodemus
was a Jewish leader. Today we would call
him a moderate as he was concerned to
get to know Jesus and his teaching where
others were only concerned with getting rid
of the threat of Jesus. We hear Jesus telling
him that to enter the kingdom of heaven;
that is to be in relationship with God, that
we must be ‘born again’. Nicodemus takes
this quite literally and questions how a
person can re-enter their mother’s womb
to be physically born again. But Jesus is
not talking about the physical; he is talking
about the spiritual, about where our focus
and motivation are found. He makes it
clear that if we are to enter the kingdom
10 YEARS CRICKET
After a downpour of rain on Friday, it was pleasing to see the
weather cleared for our Saturday cricket game against St Pat’s
Blue on the Junior School oval. Our captain for the day, Mitch
Nelson, won the toss and chose to field in the first innings. ASC
put in a good performance in slippery conditions and managed
to contain the St Pat’s team to 84 runs, with 10 wickets taken.
Tom Siede was a reliable wicket-keeper and ASC had a good
all-round bowling game. The stand-out bowler on the day was
Hugo Goodlet who took 5/5, earning him player of the match.
St Pat’s started strongly in the field and the ASC wickets began
to fall quickly, a theme which continued throughout the match.
St Pat’s proved themselves to be a very strong fielding side,
with some quick and accurate bowling and excellent skills
around the ground. St Pat’s contained the usually strong ASC
batting line-up. Jonah Siede made a valiant last-ditch effort for
ASC scoring a solid 17 runs, but it was too late; ASC ended up
with 105 runs and 22 wickets taken. Well done to Mitch Nelson,
who, in his captaincy role demonstrated some good leadership
and an ability to adjust the field as required. Our game this week
is at Raglan, against St Pat’s White. Mrs Nicholls
then we must renew our focus and our
motivation and start again, this time
following God’s way and his will.
Jesus also gives us an iron clad
guarantee that all we need to do to
receive eternal life is to believe in
him. It doesn’t matter what we have
done. It doesn’t matter who we are. It
doesn’t matter where we have been.
If we believe in him then we have life
with him forever. Praise God!
With all the blessings of Christ,
Rev. Tony Card.
Thought for the week: ‘Indeed, God
did not send the Son into the world
to condemn the world, but in order
that the world might be saved through
him.’ (John 3:17, NRSV)
12 YEARS CRICKET
The 12 Years team had a convincing victory against Scots on Saturday.
The victory was set up with some excellent batting from Jock Sutton,
Nick Anderson and Ben Cant who all made significant contributions
to allow our team to reach 4-202 off 25 overs. Our bowling was
also impressive and we managed to dismiss Scots for 64 runs. Our
wicket takers included Sam Rendall, Nick Anderson, Ben Cant, Jerry
Ovenden and Nick O’Neill. It was a fabulous effort from the boys and
the win provided us with enough competition points to make the final
of the competition, which is to be held over the next two Saturdays.
Congratulations boys and good luck this weekend. Mr Cant

Equestrian team compete at Evans Crown Sports Day
A team of six All Saints’ equestrian riders consisting of Caitlyn
Shirlaw, Claudia and Adelaide Cunningham, Indiana Whitfeld,
Megan Redpath and Millicent Cupples represented the school
on Monday at Lithgow in the annual Evans Crown Sports Day.
The girls all did their school proud in competition and
sportsmanship in their varying age groups for a series of
hacking and sporting events that attracted 115 horses to
compete. The grand parade saw a very polished group of riders
present and all the parents there were extremely proud of the
way the school was represented by the girls.
Lots of ribbons came home with all the girls and Megan
Redpath was 10 years age champion on the day.
I am always so proud of the All Saints’ Equestrian Teams
camaraderie and friendship that is evident wherever they
compete and I was delighted to act as team manager on the day.
Thanks to all the parents for their efforts as well.
