Myalla 2004 - Edinburgh College
Myalla 2004 A pictorial record of the events and personalities of Lilydale Adventist Academy and celebrating 40 years 1 PRINCIPAL’S REMARKS Daryl Murdoch BA PhD At the Academy this year we have reviewed the past and looked to the future. In October we celebrated our Fortieth Anniversary. It was fantastic to have our alumni return and reminisce on their Academy experiences and to share our vision for the future. The Academy has a rich heritage and an exciting future as it moves to a Preschool to Year 12 focus. My special memories of 2004 however, are of getting to know the staff, students and families of the Academy. I didn’t learn too much of the Maori language while in New Zealand but I do remember a phrase that illustrates the hierarchy of important matters. It goes like this: “He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!” “Tis people! Tis people! Tis people!” How true! It is people who make a difference and it has been a privilege to have the opportunity to work with our excellent staff, talented students and supportive school community this year. Your energy and commitment have been inspiring and I firmly believe that together the Academy will have much to celebrate in the future. Enjoy viewing the images of students, staff and parents who have made the Academy a great place to be in 2004. 2 SCHOOL BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REMARKS Pr Chester Stanley Chairman of the Board The ballots have been counted, the tallies done, the preferences distributed and the results announced. Our federal election is over and in the main, policy debate no longer dominates the headlines. Yet, interestingly, some weeks after the election I notice that issues surrounding educational quality again are being discussed publicly and nationally. Of course, during the election, education was clearly a major issue and the debate vigorous. This all indicates the obvious - Australian parents realise the primary importance of a quality education for their children. The news is good for independent/private schools. Australian parents continue to have choice and significant funding arrangements will continue to be available, all driven in part by the sheer force of numbers of parents opting for private/independent education for their children. This augurs well for our school, Lilydale Adventist Academy. As Chairman of the Board, I’m proud of our school’s pre-eminent commitment to quality and substance in all areas including those core areas of literacy. The other major matter consistently demonstrated in surveys of parents is that they don’t want their children taught in a moral vacuum. They realise the utter importance of timeless values and discipline and are willing to pay significant money to see it happen. Again, I’m proud of our school and its unabashed commitment to inculcating in students Christian values and His counsel as our creator as to how to get the very best out of life. So, the future for Lilydale Adventist Academy is good. In the above context we have a great and committed team of teachers with a good balance between the vigour and enthusiasm of youth and the wisdom that years produce. I thank you for all you do! We likewise have a fine administrative team led by our Principal, Dr Daryl Murdoch. His leadership is epitomised by wisdom, commitment and vision. Thank you also to our school’s ancillary staff and for your willingness to go the extra mile. Also, our school’s board consists of quality people who are committed to a big vision for this place. Thank you for your time and counsel. Many parents are committed to helping our school in all kinds of ways which adds to the richness of its program - thank you. Finally, thank you parents for believing in Lilydale Adventist Academy’s philosophy and in entrusting your young people to our care. That trust is not misplaced. Lilydale Adventist Academy continues to grow, there are strong plans for future development of facilities and a rock solid commitment to educational excellence in the context of Christian values and philosophy. 3 EDUCATION DIRECTOR AUSTRALIAN UNION CONFERENCE SCHOOL CAPTAINS Samuela Sirilo and Renee Ralph Dr John Hammond It has been six fantastic years of our lives here at Lilydale Adventist Academy. As we now reflect and value, it feels as if we have just blinked and our schooling adventure has come to an end. 2004 has been a year of excitement with new teachers to get to know, the building of the Undercover Area, the start of the student-run Friday night “seek” cafe, the huge annual Billy Cart Grand Prix, resuming the Student Exchange program and the historical 40th Anniversary celebrations. We have learnt that our school is more than just buildings and pretty gardens, classes and homework. It is about the people. We have loved spending five days a week with fellow students for the last six years, creating such rich memories. To our class, thank you for making school life what it was for us - a big collection of amazing experiences with lots of laughs, a few tears and many memories. We thank our great teachers who have gone beyond their job description to help us achieve our best and to provide us with the education we so needed. They developed us academically but more importantly, shaped our life skills. They encouraged us to believe who we are and in what we are doing. Our teachers’ hard work, dedication and support will long be remembered. Those people have helped us grow into the people we have become today. Another amazing group of people are the students who made a lot of things happen at LAA; our Student Representative Council. They supported us even when the going was tough. We will long remember those delicious chocolate hearts on Valentines Day, the muffins for Mothers’ Day and the fun we had planning, decorating and entertaining at our Masquerade Banquet. We thank you for the long hours you put into making this year a memorable success. We believe God has guided our steps these last six years. He has been there all along the way for us and He will always be there for you. 4 Way back in the early 60s when Pastor John Keith, the Union President and Mr William Gilson, the Education Director first mooted the idea of establishing a boarding academy in the bush above Lilydale, the proposed institution was somewhat unkindly referred to by many as “Keith and Gilson’s Folly”. Forty years on both men are gone but their faith has been rewarded many times over. The celebrations surrounding the 40th Anniversary clearly indicate the affection with which many thousands of people now hold Lilydale. The Adventist School System salutes our senior institution and we praise God for the blessing that Lilydale has proven to be.

Senior years consider ethics, religion in society, core beliefs, rituals and symbols and the interplay between a person’s beliefs and significant life experiences. Bible teacher Bible notes 8 Bible class Bible study ENGLISH Head of Department Mrs J Mead Reading and writing. Speaking and listening. In this Information Age we are bombarded all day every day with words - in newspapers, magazines, books, television, the Internet, and even SMS. Secondary school English needs to prepare students to deal with words in the 21st century, and that’s what we do in our classes. So next time you see a student reading the comic strips you know it is with the best academic intentions - and for entertainment too. Words live on - forever! Literacy skills RESULTS of the Australian Schools English Competition High Distinction: Nicholas Lok Distinction: Gloria Sevua, Emily Tremellen, Natalie Turner, Freya Magee, Troy Roberts, Stephanie Rose, Cammi Marshall, Naomi Trent, Robbie Cooper, Samantha Walker, Louise Condell, Reece Eagle, Amiel Heyde 37 other students received Credit Awards Literacy kills Literacy Literate Illiterate? Literary challenge Literary challenged 9 LOTE (GERMAN) Learning another language Year 7 and 8 students participated in the Victorian German Poetry competition with 6 finalists chosen to represent the Academy in the regional finals. Poets’ Corner Watch your language! Their poems, along with songs and folk dancing were performed at a showcase night in the Academy cafe. Noting the language PSYCHOLOGY ESL The Academy continues to attract students from overseas as permanent and exchange students. Numbers of permanent students have increased with students coming from Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan and Germany. We welcome our overseas students and admire them for their willingness to live and study in a new country. They face the challenges of living in a new environment, learning a new language and adjusting to a new culture and educational system. We look forward to more international enrolments next year and aim to continue our tradition of providing an educational experience that is inclusive and beneficial to a range of cultural backgrounds. We have enjoyed a very successful visit from a group of Japanese students who lived with some of our school families and joined the day school over a three-week period in August. This program was mutually beneficial to everyone - hosts and visitors - as we exchanged friendships and cultural insights. The grey matter, the white matter, the experiments that mattered; the zoo, the art gallery; what makes us remember, what makes us ‘normal’, what makes us sleep ... and of course, the milo that before school tried to make us awake. 10 Psycho-analysing the language Listening to the language SOSE Head of Department Mr D. Jones Studies of Society and Environments has three elements to its curriculum. They are History, Geography and Commerce. In a world that seems out of control with conflicts, environmental and economic questions, this subject allows students to view issues with understanding from past events and present studies. Students are encouraged to take the time to consider the areas that are studied and apply this knowledge. MEDIA STUDIES. Project protection Presenting the project Whether it be newspapers, television, magazines or the Internet the Media is a major part of our everyday lives. We rely on the media for so much of our lives and thus we must understand how it is developed and who it targets. The skills needed in the production of Media were also practised by students. In fact LAA’s successful 40th Anniversary Programs were the result of the Year 9 Media students undertaking the massive assignment of bringing to life the four decades being celebrated through multi media production. A fair o’ project Professional project Producing the project Preparing the project 11 12 SOVEREIGN HILL EXCURSION 13 MATHEMATICS Head of Department - Mr A.

I instruct I type In Years 10 and 11 two courses may be chosen – IT and VET in the VCE Certificate II in Business (BSB20101). The VET course continues to be popular with 29 students enrolled in it this year in Year 10 and 19 students in Year 11. In 2003, 83% of the Year 11 students achieved A and A+ grades for their assignments and examination. I see The main emphasis of the Year 12 VCE subject, Information Processing and Management, is problem solving with students completing assignments using MS FrontPage (web pages) and MS Excel (Spreadsheets). The course also covers the use of information in organisations, information systems and networks. The students continue to achieve pleasing results with one student receiving a near perfect score of 49/50 in 2003. This course is especially beneficial for students planning to do a degree in either computing or business.

The shepherds struggle to be heard above the herd. The mobile pens proceed to Yea where the sheep are watered etc. The mobile pens relocate to Albury where the sheep and shepherds are again fed and watered. Act 1 Scene 2 Sheep: Black sheep: Shepherdess: Location: 23 Year 12 students Kristie Lee, Renee Mrs Mead Dog on a Tuckerbox, Gundagai to Wahroonga The shepherds and sheep are again watered etc. Some sheep frolic near the dog monument. Most sheep consume potable water. Two straying sheep fill water bottles from tap. The shepherdess points out the nearby sign stating that the water is unfit to drink. Some sheep withdraw sheepishly. The mobile pens move to Goulburn for further watering and feeding. Two sheep look a little seedy. Mobile pens arrive at Wahroonga at around 11 pm. Some sheep are dipped and all sheep lie down in the pasture. Some sleep. Some shepherds go in search of feed for the sheep the following morning. Act 2 Scene 1 22 Sheep: Blaxland: Lawson: Wentworth: Shepherdess: Location: 22 Year 12 students Student 1 Student 2 Student 3 Mrs Mead Wahroonga Sheep are woken by cruel shepherds and herded into small pen equipped with feeding troughs. The sheep are watered, fed and driven to a freight train for the trip to Sydney. At the sight of ships, some sheep panic as they had heard of the live sheep trade. Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson, on the pretext of gathering extra food, stray from main group and head for the Blue Mountains. Upon reaching Paramatta they realise that the shepherds are not involved in the export trade and return to the fold. The shepherdess issues reproof to straying sheep who promise never to stray ever again. The sheep are reloaded onto the train or mobile pen and freighted to either Berkeley Vale or Wahroonga. Here the sheep and shepherds encounter mazes and other challenges. Several Sanitarium-bound ewes purchase red boxers with bees emblazoned on them. Act 2 Scene 2 Sheep: 25 Year 12 students Shepherdess: Mrs Mead Location: Avondale The mobile pens deliver the sheep to greener pastures at Avondale College. After a sleep the sheep again negotiate obstacle courses. Some sheep are offended that they are expected to climb rock walls. After all, isn’t that the preferred activity of goats? Some sheep even fly. After a sleep the sheep are driven to a bridge where they pose for photos. They encounter huge paddocks and a large pen holding about a thousand sheep. The sheep listen to music, some of which is soothing. They also listen to a shepherd from another flock. Sheep are driven to a place called Sunnyside which lives up to its reputation. Act 2 Scene 3 (Change of metaphor) Sleeping Beauty: Kate Location: Avondale 23 A beauty decides she will attract the attention of more princes if she is sleeping.

Sleeping beauty is taken to Wyong Hospital. Alas, still no handsome prince! Sleeping beauty realises the strategy is flawed. After all, if you want to marry a handsome prince from a foreign country, you are expected to drop your slipper at the bottom of the stairs!

Starting High School can be daunting for any student and knowing you are supported and have friends to rely on make this transition easier. Year 7 Camp was held at Howqua very early in first term. Students had many opportunities to make new friends, try new activities and achieve success in them, making this camp a launch to a new era in their lives. Year 11 students in the Peer Support Program helped with the activities and organization of the camp. Overall Year 7 Camp was a stunning success. Hang about!!

Our days were occupied with archery, ropes, water activities and an awesome trip to the Ninety Mile Beach on a two storey boat. We had fun pretending we were on the Titanic. Nights were a great highlight with challenging games way past Dr Murdoch’s bedtime. We enjoyed the food, the funny soup and the strange coloured baked beans were yummy. We would all like to thank the owners of Lakewood Park and especially our teachers Mr Mapoli, Mr Eakins, Dr Murdoch, Krissie Herold and Mrs Hawke for making Year 8 Camp such a great experience.

The weather was fantastic and we had a great time facing new challenges in our two tribes. Night soccer was our first challenge as we dodged each other and the fluorescent ball. Over the next two days we conquered our fear of heights abseiling, rock climbing and on the high ropes. Just when we thought the challenges were over there were mountain bike riding, night hiking and canoeing on Lake Wartook. A great time was had by all and we didn’t want to pack up and return. Our special thanks to Dr Murdoch, Mr and Mrs Johnson, Mr Mapoli and Miss Cicolini for making our Year 9 Camp a memorable time together. 38 Rock climbers Rock cakes Rocky Horror Show Rocky road Duke of Edinburgh’s Scheme - Life Skills “Every camp is worth the effort, I have never been on a camp where I’ve come home thinking that it was a waste of time and money. Each camp has taught me something; this one taught me to bring RID. Also, the whole atmosphere was great; we encouraged each other, chatted and just made everything so friendly. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.” “The trip has changed me in that I have more confidence now and I am not so afraid to try things that I don’t think I am very good at.” “For me personally it was a mixture of things and feelings.
