Goodbye Ted
Our Senior Chaplain, Ted Endacott, is currently on Long
Service Leave and retiring at the end of the year. A special
afternoon was organised by staff, which included a Teddy
Bear picnic/afternoon tea, farewell song, and some
reflections on his time at the College. The event was a
wonderful celebration of his 10 years serving the College.
40 Hour Famine
Famine Fighter Walls of Fame in both Middle and Senior
School were created by Chaplain Kim for this year’s 40 Hour
Famine campaign. Many students were involved, giving up
food, talking, the use of furniture and electronics. One senior
student, Bonin Sok, even opted to give up her sight for 40
hours and all together the Hillcrest team of 89 members
raised $11,072.49.
The top fundraisers this year were: Tom Arcaro $2,205 and
Ee Shane Lim $1,189.65 from Middle School and Zachery
Buchanan $633.50 and Bonin Sok $332.65 from Senior
School. Even Chaplain Kim managed to raise $522.
Junior School Chaplain
Chaplain Rowan went to the Year 3 camp and loved seeing
the students in a more relaxed environment and ‘spreading
their wings.’ Chaplain Rowan has been involved in the
Junior School clubs, on Fridays, running team games. He has
enjoyed having fun with the students and the opportunity
to teach them about how team games are different to
individual ones. ‘Bed time stories’ also continued with some
Fridays turning into massive Q&A times for Junior School.
Safe Talk
Eighteen Senior students had the opportunity to do
SafeTALK training to learn how not to miss, dismiss or avoid
signs that someone might be a risk of suicide. Students
were taught how to ask, listen and keep potential people
safe, through linking them with support.
The SafeTALK training was very useful.
