Weekly Revelations HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL Mr Stewart Ross JUMPING TO EXTRA HEIGHTS Madeline Sinderberry has achieved some outstanding results at the Australian Equestrian Interschool Championships held recently. Madeline was awarded the Australian Interschool’s Show jumping Champion and the Finch Farms Trophy for the athlete with the best overall result in show jumping. She won the 1.10m and 1.20m Championships. Madeline was also part of the NSW Team that won the Championships Overall and Show jumping Teams Trophy. HICES DEBATING This year was a great “season” for all our debating teams. The Year 7 team did extremely well making it to the second knockout round. The Year 9 team made it to the third round. The Year 8 team were unfortunately knocked out in the final round closely missing out on the Grand Final. These results meant that the College secured the title of runner-up for the most successful school in the competition. A wonderful achievement considering there are around 50 HICES schools. CHAMPION Emma McCarthy in Year 10, won the Junior Golf Classic at Bathurst last weekend. She shot an 87 on the Sunday round. With a handicap of 7 (making it 80 nett), it was not the best score she has achieved but good enough to take out the Championship on the day. Congratulations Emma. RUGBY Congratulations to the following students, Kelsey Khan, Teagan Miller and Hannah Nobes who, after participating in the trials at the Youth Girls U17s Talent Discovery day at Orange Emus Rugby Club in week October 22 2015 1, they have gained selection in the Central West U17s - 7s Rugby Squad. The girls will play in the NSW Youth Girls State Championships in Coffs Harbour on 7 November 2015. From this Carnival two NSW State teams will be selected to represent NSW in the National invitational tournament in Wagga on 5 December 2015. We also hope Phoebe Reynolds, who was selected as a shadow player, may get a run. We wish them success at the Tournament. FAST FACT An epidemic of laughing that lasted almost a year broke out in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) in 1962. Several thousand people were affected, across several villages. It forced a school to close. It wasn’t fun, though — other symptoms included crying, fainting, rashes, and pain.

I have been encouraged by the number of senior students who have come to me to get their diaries signed for an ASC Award after having served this appeal last year. A CALL FOR HELP! We are in need of one or two more volunteer teachers to take on the responsibility of teaching Christian Studies in the Junior School so that the load can be shared. Please call or email me if you think that you can help. GOD”S LOVE FOR US Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. (Romans 5:7-8, NRSV). Chapel this week focused on God’s amazing and overflowing love for us. The New Testament writers are all in agreement that God’s love is best shown to us in the person of Jesus, what he said, and, more importantly, what he did. This understanding was captured succinctly by Bob Dylan in the words of his song “Make you feel my love.” This song has been covered by Garth Brooks and, more recently, by Adele. Now I’m not saying that Dylan wrote this song as anything but a love song, but if you imagine it to be Jesus singing when you hear the words it makes perfect sense. Reading some blogs about the meaning of these words, many bloggers have suggested it is about the person expressing their utmost love but at the same time being totally vulnerable as they face the possibility of rejection. Reverend Tony Card SHOEBOXES MAKE THE FIRST PART OF THEIR JOURNEY Our infants students got the Christmas boxes off on the first part of their journey this week, loading them into Rev Tony’s ute to go to the local collection centre. This year we collected 134 boxes which was a little down on the previous two years but, judging by the weight of many of them, they were jammed full of generous gifts. Thank you for your support of this campaign again this year. (See photos below). 2BS/BATHURST LIONS CHRISTMAS MIRACLE APPEAL Saints’ is again supporting this wonderful local initiative to help make Christmas that little bit brighter for many in the Bathurst community. Next week we begin collecting non-perishable food items to be packed into the hampers. We need to focus on the following: no nuts, no glass, nothing that’s out of date. Please support this as you are able. As we approach the end of term I will be letting students know about the set up and packing day. Last year we had a number of students come to the Thursday set up day to get everything ready for the Saturday packing day, which many of our This Week’s Sport Draws Basketball: Thursday 23 and Friday, 24 October 2015 Game Venue Time Bus departs Returns ASC First Girls v Fireworx (Thursday) Crt1 4.30pm 3.30pm 5.20pm 6.05pm ASC Red v ASC Gold (Thursday) Crt1 5.15pm 3.30pm ASC Silver v Platinum (Thursday) Crt2 4.30pm 3.30pm 5.20pm ASC Gold v ASC Red (Thursday) Crt1 5.15pm 3.30pm 6.05pm ASC Platinum v Silver (Thursday) Crt2 4.30pm 3.30pm 5.20pm ASC White v ASC Blue (Thursday Crt4 4.30pm 3.30pm 5.20pm ASC Blue v ASC White (Thursday) Crt4 4.30pm 3.30pm 5.20pm ASC Firsts v Make It Drizzle Crt1 8.30pm ASC Shadows v Gladiators Crt1 7.45pm 7.25pm 8.35pm ASC Cyclones v Hoops Boys Crt3 5.30pm 5.10pm 6.20pm ASC Lightning v Net Burners Crt3 6.15pm 5.55pm 7.10pm ASC Thunder v Boyz & Daizy Crt3 4.45pm 4.25pm 5.30pm ASC Tsunamis v Scots Blue Crt4 4.45pm 4.25pm 5.30pm ASC Colts v Team 2 Good Crt4 6.15pm 5.55pm 7.10pm Cricket: Saturday, 24 October 2015 Game Venue Time Bus departs Returns ASC First XI v Chevalier College XI Watson Oval 10.00am ASC U15s/Opens BYE ASC U14s v ASC U13s Police Paddock 1 ASC U13s v ASC U14s Police Paddock 1 8.45am 8.00am 12.30pm 8.45am 8.00am 12.30pm Bus departs Returns Tennis: Saturday, 24 October 2015 Game Venue Time ASC Opens v SSC 1 Opens Bx Tennis Centre 9.00am ASC Intermediate v SSC 1 Intermediate Bx Tennis Centre 9.00am ASC Juniors v SSC 1 Juniors Bx Tennis Centre 9.00am Touch Football: Saturday, 24 October 2015 Game Venue Time Bus departs Returns WAS Senior Girls Kinross Wolaroi 9.30am 8.30am 1.00pm WAS Junior Girls Gala Day 9.30am 8.30am 1.00pm Jesus does just that. He reaches out to us but at the same time faces rejection from us. Even if we hate him, even if we reject him, he still loves us. When the rain is blowing in your face And the whole world is on your case I would offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love When the evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love I know you haven’t made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I’ve known it from the moment that we met There’s no doubt in my mind where you belong I’d go hungry, I’d go blind for you I’d go crawling down the avenue There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do To make you feel my love Storms are raging on a rolling sea Down the highway of regret Winds of change are blowing wild and free, yeah huh But you ain’t seen nothing like me yet There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do Go to the ends of the earth for you Make you happy, make your dreams come true To make you feel my love May you know, accept, and experience his love for you. With every blessing, Rev. Tony Card. Thought for the week: Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.

En masse, people have done some pretty incredible things for Guinness World Records – they’ve danced with umbrellas, dressed up as Smurfs and even impersonated Elvis. Now we’re asking you to do something incredible too: learn CPR! Take Heart Australia Day is about teaching people to save lives, and with over 500 Australians suffering a fatal sudden cardiac arrest every week, the more people we train the better. So, on the 30th of November we’ll be hosting multiple events across NSW in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most people trained in CPR within 24 hours. All Saints’ College has been asked to host one of the regional events, so for one day we will endeavor to train as many Students, Parents and members of the public as we can. These free sessions will take around 30 minutes and are provided by qualified trainers. For more information please contact the clinic on 02 6332 7300 or by email: [email protected]. Join us in making history, and more importantly – learn what to do when cardiac arrest strikes. In the end, all it takes to save the life of another Australian is you and your two hands.
