PRINCIPAL
“And whatever
you do, in word
or deed, do
everything in
the name of
the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to
God the Father
through him.”
Both the lives of our students and
staff and of the people in the local
communities, have been enriched
through this partnership.
Colossians 3:17 ESV
Welcome to Term 3 as we gather and
commence the second half of our year
in hope and purpose through engaging
teaching and learning. I pray that all
students, staff and families had a
blessed holiday and a time to focus on
personal goals for Terms 3 and 4.
SERVICE AND MISSION
One of the Strategic Directions of the
College this year is to develop a culture
of service within our student body,
where participation and engagement
amongst the community is lived out
in action within local, national and
international settings.
I thank Mrs Dolores Amos, Mr Greg
Hettner, Pastor Jon Goessling and
Miss Mem Ingoldby for attending and
leading our students in this rich learning
experience. Thank you also to Ms
Elizabeth Ingoldby for her support and
attendance, Mrs Sarah Lush and Mrs
Narelle Mistiades for their coordination
prior, during and after from ‘base camp’
here at Tatachilla.
In the recent holiday break a group
of students and staff again returned
to the community of Ampilatwatja
and surrounding communities in the
Northern Territory. This partnership,
now in its third year, has allowed
our students to develop a deep
appreciation for Indigenous people and
cultures.

Extending our service learning
internationally, a further group of
students and staff will travel to
Cambodia at the end of the term to
undertake our first service learning
experience in this area of South East
Asia. The momentum and preparations
are entering final stages for this group.
We pray for them as they continue to
consider the learning opportunities that
await them.
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
Next week we welcome students and
staff from Toryo High School, our
Japanese sister school. It is always
a great delight for our community
to welcome the group each year.
My gratitude is extended to families
from across the College who have
volunteered to billet students for the
duration of the week.
Students will be involved in classes
across the school, developing a deeper
understanding of Australian culture and
schooling. On Wednesday morning,
our Middle and Senior School Chapel
Service will acknowledge and welcome
our friends. I encourage members of
our community to join us for this special
time in welcoming the students and
staff from Toryo.

YEAR 12 FORMAL
At the end of Term 2, the Year 12 students had their annual
Formal with students, and staff, presented in an adornment
of fine wear! The behaviour, attitude and engagement of the
evening was commendable and it was a pleasure for me
to see the rich partnerships that not only exist amongst the
cohort of students but between students and staff.
Thank you to Miss Lauren Busch as Year 12 Coordinator
for her organisation of this event which is always held as a
special memory for our students.
COLLEGE WIDE ACTIVITIES
As always, the College is abuzz with activities throughout this
term. Students in the Middle and Senior Schools have begun
the subject selection process for 2016, a range of year level
camps will occur in the Junior School in the coming weeks,
PISA testing will occur, Year 10 Work Experience, Student
Led Conferences and Parent-Teacher Interviews to name but
a few.
Staff will also gather on Friday 4th September for a Spiritual
Retreat. This will be a student free day; please note in your
calendars.
We give thanks for the blessings of a new school term and
for the many gifts and skills that have been showered upon
us individually and collectively. May God be with you in the
coming term.

YEAR 8 & 9 SUBJECT SELECTION
PROCESS FOR 2016
Thank you to the many parents and
students who attended the Year 8
and 9 Subject Selection Evening for
2016 on Tuesday 28 July of this week.
If families were unable to attend this
evening then a Subject Selection guide,
form and online preference process
was sent home in the post. If you have
not received this information please
contact the College Reception as soon
as possible.
The Subject Selection Form and print

Home Class Teachers by Wednesday
5 August (Week 3). If you have any
questions about the Subject Selections
process, please do not hesitate to

Teacher, Year Level Coordinator or
myself for further information.
A new term brings an opportunity for
all of our students to stop and reflect
upon their achievements throughout
the year so far and the way they have
used their strengths and talents they
have been given. We look forward to
a new semester of learning, growing
and achieving, and may the words from
Philippians 4:13 give us all strength and
purpose; ‘I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.’

WELCOME BACK
STAFFING NEWS
Welcome back to all as we begin this second half of the
school year. In particular, we welcome Bailey Baldock and
his family to our community. Mr Prenzler and the Year 4
students will be making sure that Bailey soon feels at home.
The advertising for a new Head of Junior School began
during the holidays. In addition, there are other positions
in the Junior School to be confirmed as people on leave
indicate their intention to return and current contracts come to
an end. This process will begin shortly.
It is a while since I have constructed a message to the Junior
School families, but I am looking forward to spending the rest
of the year in the partnership which I have enjoyed immensely
over the years and which will come to a close at the end
of the year. A sincere thank you for the good wishes and
messages of welcome that came my way during my transition
time at the end of last term.
The new playground area is an obvious change that I noticed,
but even more so, the growth of the students. It has been
great to see their smiling faces again.
THANK YOU
It is indeed a blessing to have an amazing staff team who are
gifted in so many areas and who have been willing to take on
added responsibilities during my absence.
I am also thankful that we have people who fill the gaps as
others step up. While we may prefer to minimise any staffing
disruptions, we are fortunate to have had replacement staff, in
all instances, who are competent, familiar with our school and
who are known by our students.
While I particularly thank Mrs Thelning, Mr Prenzler, Mrs Hern,
Mrs McRae and Mrs Gricks, all of the Junior School team
have stepped up at various times.
We welcome Mrs Edwinna Lee as the Japanese teacher for
the remainder of the year. Mrs Lee has been a teacher at
Tatachilla for a number of years.
Please keep Mrs Thacker in your prayers as she continues
her treatment. We look forward to welcoming her back later in
the year.
HOME LEARNING
Constant evaluation and review is a part of the continual
improvement process in many organisations, including
Tatachilla Lutheran College. Over the past term or so, the
Junior School staff has been reviewing the issue of set
home learning, commonly referred to as homework. Home
learning was reviewed in 2009 and then again as part of the
questionnaire for parents late last year. It has been interesting
to compare parent thoughts from those two surveys.
We have modified our Home Learning Policy based on a
larger pool of research from a number of sources, together
with the input gleaned last year from parents. I intend to
provide families with a summary of the revised policy in the
next few weeks.
Every blessing to you all.

Head of Junior School
from the
JUNIOR SCHOOL
YEAR 1 - HISTORY CLASS
During Term 2 the Year 1’s learnt about
things from the past as part of their
history unit.
We looked at different household
goods and how they have changed
over time.
One of the highlights was a visit from
a representative from the Australian
Museum of Childhood who brought in
an amazing array of toys from the past
for the children to explore. They had
a fantastic time using toys like giant
dominoes, puppets, puzzles, musical
instruments and arcade style games.
They talked about what they were made
from and how they have changed over
time. All the children thoroughly enjoyed
this hands-on experience.
To finish off our history unit, we had a
dress up day and went back in time to
explore what school was like fifty years
ago. Our “Headmaster”, Mr McDonald
came and told us the school rules and
we did activities like it was in the olden
days.

SNOW TRIP
Tatachilla’s bi-annual snow trip was held during the July
holidays. Eighteen students and four staff got to experience
some of the best snowfields New Zealand has to offer.
The trip started off with some sleepy-eyed students as they
had to catch the 6.00am flight out of Adelaide airport which
required a wake-up time of 3.30am for most but, as soon as
we boarded our flight Melbourne, all students became wide
awake with excitement and anticipation.
Our time in Melbourne flew by and before we knew it, we
were on our direct flight to Queenstown. As the sun began
to rise during our flight, the New Zealand coastline came
into full view. It was amazing to see the sun glistening over
the coastline and the snow-capped mountain ranges. As we
landed and then exited the aircraft the New Zealand’s frosty
air hit us. It was like we’d just walked into a freezer!
Upon arrival in Queenstown we were taken to our luxury lake
front accommodation. All students quickly unpacked their
gear and were eager to have dinner and explore the town.
It was quickly agreed that Queenstown was a beautiful and
magical place. After the visit into town, it was time to go back
to the hotel for an early night. Everyone slept well after our
huge day.
The first two days were spent on the ski fields at Coronet
Peak. This was a great place to learn to ski and board as
it had a good magic carpet facility and an easy green run
for beginners. After two days and lessons, most students
felt confident enough to take the chairlifts up to the green
run. Brooke Hamilton attempted to conquer her fear of the
mountain and after only two days challenged her boarding
skills down a blue run and lucky for her there was plenty of
snow around to ice her sore derrière.
Day three of our trip began with an extreme high-speed
jet boat ride. The highly skilled Shotover Jet Boat drivers
navigated through a tight canyon and gauges, only narrowly
missing the canyon walls around them. Later in the day we
caught a cable cart to the Queenstown lookout to go luging
and enjoy a hot drink. Isaac Freeman, Tyru Fawcett, Edan
Garner and Kelly Ryan used this opportunity to get an extra
adrenaline fix and go bungy jumping.
Our last three days of skiing were spent at the Remarkables,
one of the most popular mountains due to long easy runs
and the progressive board park. Mr Neumann enjoyed using
his GPS watch to calculate distance travelled and top speed
while skiing and raked in a top speed just shy of 60km/h
down the ‘Sugar Bowl’.
Our time spent in New Zealand will be an experience the
students will never forget. Whether it was the chance to travel
overseas for the first time, eating at the famous Fergburger,
being scared out of their skin at the Fear Factory or skiing
and boarding in New Zealand.
We look forward to returning to New Zealand in 2017.

NORTHERN TERRITORY
During the July school holidays I had the pleasure of being
involved in the NT Mission Trip 2015 and travelled with
staff and students to several Aboriginal communities in NE
Northern Territory.
Historically, TLC has been involved in many practical tasks
at Lutheran Churches under the Finke River Mission banner,
with the majority of work being undertaken at Ampilatwatja
(pronounced, ‘Umbludderwitch’). This year’s focus was
‘enhancing relationships’, as well as undertaking basic
maintenance of church sites. What an amazing and life
changing experience!
Much time was spent sitting quietly, sharing cups of tea and
skills with the local community. The females of our group were
honoured to go on a bush food and medicinal plant tour with
the local women, eating roo tail and bush potato and sitting in
the red soil painting on canvas, t-shirts and cards.
Students spent many hours ‘developing relationships’ with
laughing children: kicking footballs, creating loom bands,
face painting, dancing and other fun activities. Much
entertainment was had by those who frequented the dump
to collect ‘useful’ resources to fix the fence and paint the
donger. The Church was also cleaned out at Pastor Frank’s
request.
Amongst the many donations given to the community were
musical instruments. This bringing out a shared love of
music with both cultures. A local man, Peter even picked up
some new guitar skills thanks to Poppy Fitzgerald and Ben
Robinson.
A bilingual Sunday service was led by Pastor Jon and Pastor
Frank, with our remarkable students creating beautiful
music for those celebrating mass. We were delighted by the
impromptu soirees and poignant singing in language by a
small group of passionate Aboriginal women.
Other memorable experiences from the trip included:
•

star gazing on beautiful clear but cold nights
a sunrise tour of Kings Canyon
toasted marshmallows and potatoes cooked in open fires
meeting the amazing skilled craftsman, Martin and
purchasing weapons he had painstakingly carved
4WDing to the beautifully unique Palm Valley with the
ancient red rock back drop against the palms
an emotional visit to Hermannsburg
vegetation changes as we travelled the country
challenging discussions and debriefing as a group
and the feeling of being grubby and exhausted.
There are probably words to describe the experience,
however they seem trivial and paltry. In particular, I thoroughly
enjoyed the sharing time with these wise and respectful
women. There may have been a language barrier at times,
yet there were many common topics amongst us including
plants, faith, songs and family.
The trip was a tremendous success and a life changing
experience. It was a privilege to be involved in the 2015
Mission Trip. The visit deepened the existing relationship
between Tatachilla Lutheran College and the Ampilatwatja
(and neighbouring) community.

NEWS
In Week 8 and 9 of Term Two the whole of junior school
participated in our annual National Tree Day for Schools
activities, once again held in the EcoClassroom. The
younger classes buddied up with an older class which was
a wonderful opportunity for new friendships to be made.
Although the weather was cool, the rain stayed away and
we all rugged up warm and had a great time. Approximately
700 trees, shrubs and grasses were planted. An amazing
group of Middle School students volunteered to be student
leaders and moved mountains of mulch, assisted the younger
students with their planting, dug lots of holes and hammered
in the stakes. The leadership and maturity shown by these
student leaders was awesome and we would like to say a
big thank you to Jake Shirvington, Lochy Bradley, Jack
Burns, Mitchell Pearsons, Lucy Newman, Paris Hickling,
Kathryn Jellicoe, Tilly Symonds and Christina Liapis.
This year saw the exciting first planting in the new expansion
to the EcoClassroom. This new development, in the
paddock adjacent to the EcoClassroom will contain Greybox
vegetation, grass and shrub lands and a bird hide. Grey
box plant associations were once predominate in this area
but are now under threat, so this new area will be a positive
step to reintroducing native flora and fauna of this important
ecosystem. Over the term break paths were laid in this new
area and fencing will soon be erected. To date funding has
been obtained from Onkaparinga Council’s Environment
Grant ($1500.00) and from Go Greener Grants ($1000.00)
TREES FOR LIFE –WILLUNGA
TFL Willunga meets in the EcoClassroom
at 7:30pm on the first Wednesday of
the month. All are welcome. A variety
of interesting and informative speakers
present throughout the year on a range of
environmental issues and topics.
Wed 5th August: ‘Recycling Revolution’
presented by Lynda Wedding, a Waste
and Recycling Officer with the City of
Onkaparinga. Gone are the days when
rubbish was just ‘rubbish’!
Wed 2nd September: ‘Moorunde Wildlife

SPORTS REPORT
YEAR 8/9 GIRLS NETBALL
On Wednesday 22nd of July our Year 8/9 Netball Team
travelled to Blackwood High School to compete in the second
round of the Pool A Knockout Competition.
The girls played Heathfield in their first game for the day. It
was a tightly contested game with many intercepts occurring
for both teams. Alicia Watt’s experience under pressure
and accurate goal shooting kept Tatachilla in the game.
Charli Zimmer worked tirelessly in GA and combined well
with Alicia in goals. Sarah Wright (WD) kept her opponent
working hard for each pass and managed to get her hands
on the ball for some intercepts. In the second half, Nasiyah
Turner (GS) came on and provided some extra height in
the shooting circle. Our centre court of Lucy Raper and
Annabelle Crawford consistently provided strong drives and
beautiful passes into the goalies. Tatachilla managed to hold
on for a one goal win 31-30.
In the second game, Tatachilla played Blackwood. Once
again the game was very competitive with all girls working
hard to maintain possession and put defensive pressure on
every pass. In this game, the strength of our defence was
evident in the number of turnovers created by our defenders
Shenay Walker (GD) and Heidi Smith (GK). Tahlia
Jamieson (WD) was also able to put pressure on many of the
passes going into the goal circle. By half time, Tatachilla were
7 goals up. Blackwood fought hard to get back and managed
to get within one goal. Abbey Bartle played a strong game
in C and then WD providing some extra height and drive
down the court. Our team’s versatility enabled us to play
Lucy Raper in GA and Alicia Watt in GS, both handling the
shooting pressure extremely well and continually moving and
providing options in our attacking end. Tatachilla managed to
capitalise on Blackwood’s mistakes and win the game 25-20.
Thank you to Tess Cross and Tasha Jacobs for assisting
with scoring and umpiring on the day.
The girls have been training hard and are looking forward to
the finals held on Monday, Week 4.
