Parent Forum
I am looking forward to the Parent Forum tonight at

Twilight Concert Thank You
Last week, it was my great privilege to attend my first
Immanuel Twilight Concert. I was astounded by the
depth of talent presented by our gifted students. I
take this opportunity to sincerely thank all staff who
combined together to stage this epic event as well as
the many students who worked on stage and behind
the scenes. Special mention to Ms Cath Aronsten, Mrs
Emily Bonar, Mrs Marika Doman, Miss Ella Doughty,
Mr Nick Knijnenburg, Miss Solitaire Marks, Ms Luci
Morris and Miss Amy Sluggett, who, together with our
extremely talented ensemble and performance staff,
produced a professional and polished show.
Thank you also to the many proud parents who
attended. It is evident that Arts at Immanuel is a vibrant
and exciting program to be part of!

Remembrance Day
In closing, as Wednesday next week is Remembrance Day, I encourage
all members of our College community to pause for a moment and
give thanks to God for those who have sacrificed their lives in the
service of our country.
Junior School students will observe a minute’s silence in honour of the
fallen during assembly and this observance will occur in the Secondary
School on Wednesday, 11 November. In addition, Secondary School
student representatives Neesha Sinnya and Tom Webb will attend, with
Mr Michael Scott, the Remembrance Day Service at the Cotton Tree
Cenotaph at 11.00am on Tuesday and lay a wreath on behalf of the
College. Poppies are available at Student Services at a cost of 50 cents
each for those students who would like to purchase one.
Lest we forget.
Every blessing to our families for the coming week.

Chaplaincy Chat
How long have you been a member of the Immanuel College
Council?
Since February 2015.
Saints
What is your job?
I’m 50% of the Mark and Caroline Breakfast Show on 92.7 MIX FM.
Of course, Martin Luther taught us, you don’t have to be dead to be a
saint. All of us are saints in that we belong to God, in the first instance
through faith; and sealed as such in baptism.
Hobbies/pastimes?
I’m actually very boring. I’m a movie buff, I love the beach, camping,
spending time with family and yoga when I get the chance.
Which sporting team do you support?
Depends what’s on. The U/9 Immanuel Sharks. The Wallabies. It was
fantastic to see the Cowboys win in the NRL. I also support the NSW
Blues but I prefer not to talk about that!
What is your favourite meal?
Anything I did NOT have to cook or clean up after.
Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you
want as a dinner guest?
Russell Brand for sure.
What is the place you would most like to visit?
Cannes Film Festival.
Who do you admire most as a leader?
Harold Holt because we didn’t have to pay him a pension.
On 1 November the Church traditionally celebrates All Saints Sunday,
when we remember all those who have died and now rest in God.
Yet, there are those great names of people who are distinguished and
recognised as Saints – St Francis of Assisi, Mother Teresa, Martin
Luther King, Dorothy Day, Nelson Mandela …
Except, none of these people were what we would colloquially say
‘saints’, i.e. they weren’t perfect.
Rather, they were able to imagine what the world could be like if we
lived how God wants us to live.
They were dreamers, if you like, dreaming a new order of things with
eyes like God.
But they didn’t stop at dreaming. Instead, they lived and worked
to make God’s vision reality, showing courage, determination and
commitment.
They allowed God’s Spirit to work in and through them.
“Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6, 33
I wonder what vision you might have of how things could be – in your
family, in the school yard, in your neighbourhood, at your work place…
God grant us all the Holy Spirit for our saintly tasks.

As I did the washing this morning, I noticed the care tags inside the
clothing (care tags that I was mostly ignoring). Instructions like “This
garment is made of natural fibres . . . delicate material. . . naturally
occurring irregularities in the fabric . . .the dyes in this fabric . . .
handle with care, do not rub, wring, soak or tumble dry. . . line dry in
shade”. Tucked away inside each clothing item are small (sometimes
the print is so tiny I can’t read it without the right light) but specific
instructions on the make-up of the clothing and how best to care for it.
How much softer the world might be if we all had care tags that were
updated each day, or each hour? “This person is made of delicate
fabric. Recent losses require handling with care. Lack of sleep will
cause inconsistencies. For best results listen carefully”.
Or better still, how much gentler might the world be if we had our
needs printed in bold on a t-shirt which we wore 24/7? Would we be
easier on each other if we read “My wife left three months ago and I am
lonely all the time; make time for a coffee with me and smile when you
pass” or “I have a lump I need to get seen to and I am terrified. If I am
distracted it’s not because I am rude” or “I can’t make ends meet and
I feel worthless. Let me help you with something” or “The medication
I am taking is making me nauseous and foggy but it is better than
crippling depression. Please don’t give up on me”.
This is irrefutably true: every day in our community many people are
fighting difficult battles and you will never read it on their t-shirts
in bold. The print is much finer than that and it’s tucked a long
way inside. But perhaps it is possible for us to read it in the right
light. Maybe the illumination we need is slowing down, a kindness,
a suspension of judgment (a “what do I not know here?”) and an
unfailing belief in our common humanity.

Junior School
Years 4-6 Awards Evening and Year 6 Graduation
The academic year is quickly coming to a close. It’s hard to believe we
are in the final four weeks of the school year! These weeks still contain
many events and activities and it is important we encourage students
to continue to strive for excellence in all that they undertake, whether it
be academically, or in the cultural and sporting arenas.
Our special Junior School evening will take place in the Worship
Centre on Thursday, 26 November. Students are required to wear full
dress uniform and will sit with their class teachers until the end of the
evening.
Sunshine Coast Mathematics Tournament
On Wednesday, 28 October at the Lake Kawana Community Centre,
a number of enthusiastic young mathematicians ably represented
Immanuel at the Sunshine Coast Mathematics Tournament. In the
Individual Event, the students raced against the clock to answer ten
basic facts in two minutes. They then demonstrated excellent strategy
and synergy, solving some extremely challenging problems to just
miss out on a place in the Team Event. The Relay Event was lots of fun
with students working together in pairs. Thanks to Ms Schmidt and Mr
Smith for supporting the teams and to the following Year 6 students for
their collaborative effort:

Student Achievement
Mikayo Mundy (6S) was given the opportunity to represent Australia
in the Asia-Oceania Cable Wakeboard Championships in Taiwan last
weekend, competing in the Junior Men’s U/15 category.
Eight Australians competed at the event across all divisions. Mikayo
was required to complete four rides across two days, including
obstacles and water tricks. Finishing up the event, Mikayo took home
the bronze medal in his division with Team Australia placed first
overall! Mikayo already has his eyes set on the world competition in
Mexico in 2016. Well done Mikayo!
New Student Orientation Day
Today in the Junior School we hosted some of our new students
for 2016. Our current students acted admirably as buddies for the
morning. It was wonderful to see such a welcoming and caring
environment which ensured our new learners had an impressive first
experience at Immanuel.
End of Year Assessment
As you know, Term 4 is a very short term. Testing has begun across
year levels in various subjects, ready for reports. Please support your
child in this by ensuring they arrive at school on time, have had a good
breakfast and are ready for their day with all necessary equipment,
especially writing implements.
www.immanuel.qld.edu.au
As advised in Term 3, the Year 6 Graduation will be held as a separate
event on Tuesday, 1 December at 2.00pm also in the Worship Centre.
More information will be sent to Year 6 families in the coming weeks.
We look forward to celebrating another wonderful year with our
families.
Compassion Day Market Stalls
On Thursday, 19 November we are holding our annual Market Day
which raises additional funds in support of our Compassion Children.
Market Day is lots of fun and it teaches our kids to be mindful of those
less fortunate. We will soon be writing to parents inviting students to
operate a stall. Should you have any enquiries, please contact Lisa
Bond in the Junior School Office. Thank you in advance for helping us
to help others.
SCISSA
Tomorrow is the final day of SCISSA fixtures for the season. I thank all
students and coaches for another great season of sport.
Thank you for the continued support of your child’s journey in the
Junior School.

P&F
Hello Friends
We have some talented young people at our College! I had the
pleasure of attending the Twilight Concert last week and was treated
to an extravaganza that entertained all who attended. This was my first
Twilight Concert, but it won’t be my last. My expectation of listening
to a number of bands performing turned to surprise and delight when
presented with dramatic, visual and electronic art performances as
well. Our College is truly blessed with the number of very skilled
artisans that enrich our environment. The ability of the musicians, the
quality of the vocals, the intricacy of the physical art, the finesse of the
dancers and the sharp-witted humour of the MCs, made for a wonderful
evening. This would not be possible without the astute tutelage of the
exceptional teachers and music tutors who are guiding students to a
level of proficiency that is outstanding. I had a great time. Thank you!
Our next movie night is this Friday, 6 November, Paper Planes. I saw
the previews for it a couple of nights ago and it looks like a great movie
for almost any age group. Please come along for a relaxed evening
of family entertainment. ILC’s Interact Club will have food available
for purchase, but please feel welcome to bring your own meals from
home. It is the final movie for the year and entry is still FREE.
The AGM is scheduled for next week at 7.00pm in D4. Preceding
the AGM will be our regular P&F meeting at 6.00pm. I invite you to
come along to participate in the AGM; an opportunity to influence how
the P&F contributes to the benefit of the students and the College.
Plenty of parking is available down at the A J Jericho Stadium, with
refreshments and a light supper available. So please come along, it
would be great to see you there.
Until next time, please take care and be safe, and remember to hug
your kids every day.
Yours in service

swiping their card at the cash register. On-screen photo ID security
protects your account from lost or stolen cards. Parents can view their
children’s purchases online and can set a daily spending limit.

BUZZ BOOK 2016
The Immanuel Lutheran College Buzz Book is an initiative of the Parents & Friends Association, produced by the
College, as a means of connecting families and businesses in our community. The book is a directory of current
students and their parents. All families will be listed in the Buzz Book displaying their home address, home
phone number and mobile phone numbers – see sample format below. If your home number or mobile numbers are
marked as silent on our database they will NOT be published. Most families find this book indispensable; however,
there is an opportunity to have your family name and details excluded from this book if you wish. Please use the
pro forma below for this purpose and return it to Louise Brear in the Main Administration Office no later than
Friday, 29 January 2016.
The Buzz Book will also be accessible electronically via the Parent Portal, and will be updated at the end of each
term to incorporate phone and address changes. In joint custody situations both Contact 1 and Contact 2 parents
will be listed.

The book has a secondary function. In many cases, parents would like to support other families of the College
through business dealings. Therefore, we encourage parents to advertise in the Buzz Book. Costs for advertising in
2016 are $100 for a business card size advertisement, $150 for a half page size advertisement and $250 for a full
page (A5 size) advertisement. Each College family will receive one copy of the Buzz Book and $5.00 will be
charged to their Term 1 fee account. Advertising in the Buzz Book is a fund raising venture and the cost of printing
is covered by this charge. The Immanuel Lutheran College Buzz Book 2016 – Copyright – is not available as a
mailing list for business use.
