“Educating students in Christian leadership for tomorrow’s generation” Thursday, October 20, 2011

Year 12 Formal an Evening of Glamour The class of 2011 or the ‘Year of Rapport’ looked glamorous in their gorgeous dresses and smart suits at their formal. This special event was held at the beautiful Links Hope Island where the fountain became a popular backdrop for many a photo. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and will cherish memories from the night as a highlight of their high school life at King’s.

Early Learning Programs Budding Mathematicians How can I build the tower so it doesn’t fall over?

What pattern can I make for the number 4? Can I make 2 towers to be the same? The Noah’s Ark learning environment provides lots of challenge as children explore and experiment with play objects, using mathematical language and developing mathematical understandings.

Primary

Parenting with Power Scripture of the week: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord. Ephesians 6:7

Insight You Can Use Now Children often compete with each other in order to be first or best. This tendency on the part of children comes from selfishness, a major roadblock to sibling harmony. The solution is to learn how to be a servant, but how do you convince a five-year-old or a twelveyear-old that being a servant is a valuable thing?

As parents we have to look for positive ways to frame the maturity issues that we know are best, but seem unreasonable to our children. In this case, you might try having a “Servant for the Day.” This child not only sets the table and takes out the trash but also gets some extra “Mummy time,” helps with dinner, and sits next to Dad during story time. Throughout the course of the day, Mum has an opportunity to talk about more subtle aspects of servanthood that involve how children talk, listen, and even think.

Take time to praise demonstrations of servanthood.

One child may not get the first turn or the biggest piece, but he gets the praise of Mum for being the mature one. That’s a far more valuable reward.

Strategy for the week: Teaching children to be servants will promote harmony in your family. Becoming a servant will help children deal with the continual desire to build themselves up while putting others down. Learning servanthood is a way to honour others in the family and it brings honour back as well. ~ In His service, Klaus Knobloch and Rosemary Whincop

Seize the Day & Do Less

I thought you may enjoy the following that comes from a book Lists to Live By for Simple Living SEIZE THE DAY • When you have the choice between taking the escalator or the stairs, take the stairs.

• Place fresh flowers in the places where you live and work.

• Visit the Holy Land once in your life.

• Smile at babies.

• When you take photographs, send some to friends.

• Always go the extra mile ... whether for a friend or for a mint-chocolate ice cream.

• Whenever you look back on your life, be positive.

• If you seek wisdom over opportunity, opportunity will usually follow.

• Change is a process, not an event.

• Plan to be spontaneous.

• Whenever you look ahead, be optimistic.

• Enjoy each day as if it were your last. ~ Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz From God Is in the Small Stuff ... and It All Matters DO LESS • Do less thinking and pay more attention to your heart.

• Do less acquiring and pay more attention to what you already have.

• Do less complaining and pay more attention to giving.

• Do less controlling and pay more attention to letting go.

• Do less criticising and pay more attention to complimenting.

• Do less arguing and pay more attention to forgiveness.

• Do less running around and pay more attention to stillness.

• Do less talking and pay more attention to silence. ~ Lee L. Jampolsky Reprinted from Smile for No Good Reason Happy parenting. And so it is. Maintain good relationships. Bring heaven to earth. Fear prevents, faith prevails.

God bless. True meaning of Easter. Celebrate the risen Christ. Happy Mother’s Day to all our mums. Find the joy.

Defend the Australian way of life. Encourage goal setting.

Be thankful. Bloom where you are. Develop resilience. Too blessed to be stressed. Take time. Encourage a positive attitude. Never quit. Guidance. Help others. Enjoy time. Enjoy life. Happy holidays. Shine. ~ Rhonda Bevan, Head of Secondary

Raise Your Voice Festival

Proudly hosted by Knexion Youth and held at King’s Christian Centre, Raise Your Voice Festival is a one day event for all the young women of the Gold Coast. If you’re in Year 8 or above we’ld love to invite you along!

This year’s theme is ‘Clothed In Light’, based on John 1.5: ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’.

Our heart is to see the young women of the Gold Coast united to be the light to this generation. We want to see you equipped and ready to show love, mercy and justice.

This year the festival is going to be a full day of fun, excitement, laughter and most of all, encounter with Jesus.

We will be holding three main sessions: A morning rally, a lunch session (including a tasty picnic and our “mercy session”) and our finale - a massive celebration to end the festival. We’ll give you plenty of time to go home and get changed before the night session!

So from the team at Raise your Voice Festival, we can’t wait to see you ignited, danced-out, fired-up and changed by what God has in store!

For more details please see one of our College chaplains or go to www.kings.net.au and follow the links.

Wouldn’t that suggest you need to get rehydrated? Have you ever felt hungry? Wouldn’t that suggest that you need some nutrition? Have you ever felt lonely? Wouldn’t that suggest you need companionship? Have you ever felt lonely in a crowd? Wouldn’t that suggest that you needed companionship with someone other than another person? God will be there for you! “Don’t fall in love with money. Be satisfied with what you have. The Lord has promised that he will not leave us or desert us.” Count on it!

Anaphylaxis

Dear Parents, Across the college, we have a number of children who suffer from life-threatening anaphylaxis. Although allergic reactions to food are common in children, severe life-threatening reactions are uncommon and deaths are rare. However, for children who suffer foodinduced anaphylaxis, the result could be fatal.

Children at King’s may have severe reactions to a variety of products, including but not limited to, nuts, fish, milk, eggs and latex.

While we realise we cannot control everything, we ask you to think carefully when preparing lunches and snacks for school, especially in the prep and lower primary departments, where children love to share. We ask specifically that if possible you avoid packing nuts, peanut butter sandwiches or bars which contain nuts.

We thank you for your assistance in this matter. ~ Andrea Webb, College Nurse
