From the Principal Mrs Nicola Taylor
As the 2018 School year draws to a close, we have much to be thankful for. Enrolments are sound, academic results strong, students actively engaged, a beautiful school environment and Guild Spirit palpable especially following the highly acclaimed Guild Drama, our final event for 2018. We know what we are thankful for, but why be thankful? We may have grown up being told that it’s good manners, the polite response. Research tell us that being thankful directly contributes to well-being and state of happiness. The Bible commands us to give thanks in all circumstances even ones of trial and difficulty.
Wishing the entire PLC Armidale community a blessed Christmas and joyful New Year! “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
The words ‘gratitude’ and ‘grace’ come from the Latin, gratus - meaning pleasing and thankful. Developing an attitude of gratitude is initially challenging, becoming a more natural response over time. The more thankful we are, the more thankful we become – noticing the things around us which we may have once taken for granted. As we celebrate this Christmas season, we have much to be thankful for, especially the true meaning and purpose of Christmas. The infant child, the son of God, the saviour and redeemer of the world. The source of the love, joy and peace continued which characterises a thankful heart and grateful life lived well. on Page 2...

After nine years of committed service to PLC Armidale, Mr Trent Donaldson has accepted the position as Deputy of St Albert’s College, UNE. This was not a decision made lightly, as Trent greatly enjoys teaching and has appreciated the interaction and rapport with students over his years at PLC Armidale. In his current position as Head of Faculties and member of the Senior Executive, Trent has demonstrated his capacity for analysing data, strategizing, deriving logistical solutions and responding to a myriad of questions about curriculum, HSC and ATARs all with good grace and sense of humour in tact. Trent has been a valued member of PLC Armidale and will be greatly missed. However, we are delighted that Trent, will maintain a close connection with PLC Armidale as husband to Lucy, our valued Junior School PDHPE Specialist teacher and Sports Co-ordinator and as dad to Lily and Evie. Trent will take up the position at St Albert's mid-February 2019 so will remain with us as the new Academic year commences. Recruitment for a replacement position will take place early in the new year, with our commitment being to ensure minimum disruption to current classes. Mrs Nicky Webster, has announced that she will be leaving PLC Armidale at the end of 2018 to take up an administrative position with local firm Roberts and Morrow. Nicky’s contributions to planning and organising events at the College, and preparation of the Lion’s Roar has been greatly appreciated. We have been very appreciative of Nicky’s hard work and willingness to assist others.
We are delighted to have appointed two high quality teachers to the positions we have recruited for through Term 4. The number and calibre of the applicants was especially noteworthy making the selection process challenging. Ms Julie Flanagan joins us in the Humanities Faculty taking up a classroom teaching position. Ms Flanagan is a highly experienced and well regarded educator, coming to us from TAS where she has been the Head of English, a position she took over from Mr Chris Spencer our Director of the Pathways program.

SPORT
Around the Grounds Sports Report Peter Le Surf, Director of Sport
Another sporting year has ended. I would like to thank all of the coaches, parents and students that made 2018 a fantastic year for sport at PLC Armidale. We have seen our first ever PLC Armidale Girls Rugby side take to the field and compete in the local competition. Our representative netball and hockey teams progressed to the finals of their divisions with our PLC 1 hockey team narrowly missing out on the win in the Division 1 grand final. Our athletics team competed in the IGSSA carnival and many were selected to move to the next level. Our Tildesley Tennis team had some fantastic results in a rain delayed tournament. Over this year we have seen may girls progress to National level championships in their respective sports. We have also seen many girls take up new sports, just for the fun of it.
It has been a great year for girls and sport and I look forward to seeing the amazing achievements of the girls in 2019. I would like to wish all our community a very Merry Christmas and all the very best for the new year. During the Holiday season, please stay safe and I look forward to seeing you all on the sideline in 2019.
Bronte to Bondi Swim Heidi Martin in year 8 travelled down to Sydney on 1 December to compete in the Bondi to Bronte ocean swim. Heidi did extremely well placing 286th out of 2000 people which placed her 11th out of 20 boys and girls in her age group and finished in 33 minutes. Swimming in the ocean for 2.3km raising money for the ‘Kids Cancer Project’ is a huge achievement, well done Heidi.
Equestrian Report Calrossy Horse Sports Day On Friday 16 November, two year 6 students from PLC Armidale’s Equestrian Team, Matilda (Tilly) Eisenhour and I, Jazz Kennett, travelled to Tamworth for the annual Calrossy Horse Sports Day. This year there were about 140 competitors from Junior and Secondary schools and the classes were huge! Tilly and I competed in all the 12 year old classes together which was great because I usually don’t have a pair and we were able to do it together and came 5th. There was also hacking, sporting and team penning but we didn’t do the team penning. This was Tilly’s first horse competition apart from pony camp and she did really well on her horse Tara. She had a go at everything, including jumping which was really fun because there was no set course and you could choose your own jumps in any order to get points and there was a joker for 25 points which Louis, my horse and I managed to clear! I ended up third in the jumping and placed in a few of my classes. It was a really hot and dusty day with a lot of walking for our mums, but Tilly and I had a good time together and I’m glad I have finally got someone in my year to ride with.

Music Matthew Minter, Director of Music
Correction to last Lion's Roar Thank you Jacqui for bringing to our attention the error in the last Lion's Roar. Emily Thompson was actually one of 3 violinists (not 2) selected from NSW students (not Australia) for the Masterclass at Sydney Conservatorium. It came about because of her performance in her recent AMEB exam as an invitation from AUSTA NSW, rather than being organised by her violin teacher, Sofia Debus.
MUSIC
2018 service of nine lessons and carols was held on 11 December at the Saints Mary & Joseph Cathedral. It was an uplifting evening and the PLC Armidale Carol service was made all the more special due to the generous support and fine artistry of renowned organist Warwick Dunham. Thank you to Leanne Roobol, Director of music at TAS, who coordinated the TAS Chapel Choir and TAS Singers for helping support us with our finale performance of the Hallelujah Chorus. Thank you also to all the staff at PLC Armidale for all your assistance with the preparation of the event making the evening run smoothly. It was also wonderful to see so many staff join the choir this year for the carols and a fitting prelude for our Staff Choir in 2019 - we have 27 staff choristers confirmed so far! This year we were fortunate to have the Moderator Right Reverend Kamal Weerakoon to present the address. The Service of Nine Lessons and Carols is a fitting highlight of the school calendar and a wonderful way to welcome the Christmas season.
It is still a fantastic achievement, Congratulations again Emily!

PASTORAL CARE
Pastoral Care Events Paula Goode, Pastoral Care Coordinator
The Gift of Giving Certainly, Christmas is a time of giving and sharing with those around us, but that sharing is not limited to those that we love and care for. It is also for the person that we have never met and will never see. Those that are not so fortunate in their lives as we are and that could use a helping hand. The concept of giving and receiving gifts is closely tied to compassion, love, and gratitude. When you give someone a gift, no matter how big or small, you convey that you were thinking of them - it’s a type of caring. One of the main reasons we have the custom of giving and receiving presents at Christmas, is to remind us of the presents given to Jesus by the Wiseman: Frankincense, Gold and Myrrh. • Frankincense was a perfume used in Jewish worship and, as a gift, it showed that people would worship Jesus. • Gold was associated with Kings and Christians believe that Jesus is the King of Kings. • Myrrh was a perfume that was put on dead bodies to make them smell nice and, as a gift, it showed that Jesus would suffer and die.
Generosity is embedded in our DNA, as a species, humans are fundamentally social and community-minded. We live together, eat together and work together. Part of this sociality is the act of taking care of each other. Sharing with each other, whether it’s food, knowledge or that brand new dress, is an example of how humanity is inherently generous. Charles Darwin (yes, that Darwin you learnt about in Year 11 Biology) once commented: “… communities, which included the greatest number of the most sympathetic members, would flourish best.” Basically, he meant that our generosity is part of the reason our species continues to grow and thrive. “It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” - Mother Teresa Christmas is the time to touch every heart with love and care. Christmas is the time to receive and send blessings. It is the time to breathe the magic in the air. Embrace the spirit of the season and take the time to put thought and care into each and every gift you give. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.
Christmas itself is really about a big present that God gave the world about 2000 years ago - Jesus! One of the most famous Bible verses, John 3:16, says: 'God loved the world so much, that he gave his one and only Son, so that whoever believes in him may not be lost but have eternal life.'
