from the chaplain i have been reflecting in chapel services over recent weeks on the importance of experiencing the presence of god in our lives the reality is religion was never meant to be formally studied it was meant to be experienced and it is only through experience that religion becomes meaningful and relevant to us so in essence one s religion one s faith is something that should be lived out in our daily lives service is one avenue by which this can happen at year 10 ­ the year when most of our students turn 14 students are encouraged to become involved in the duke of edinburgh s hillary award programme where service is one aspect that is emphasised the programme has three levels ­ bronze silver and gold so at bronze level what is involved silver and gold awards it is also important for students to take ownership of their involvement and responsibility for seeing that they fulfil the requirements of the respective levels support from parents in this is always greatly appreciated service is an integral part of what we do as a school and is a way of giving practical expression to the faith we see as being important some comments have been made that we do not indicate where each term s sunday chapel offerings are being directed in our second sunday chapel this term i focussed on our support of children in cambodia and some of the very simple everyday commodities they lack ­ toothbrushes being one example mrs glen sutherland spoke of her recent visit to cambodia and the plight of young folk there term one s offering is to go in support of these children and the purchasing of toothbrushes once we have completed our chapels i intend to write to companies requesting they match what we have raised thus ensuring that what we send across makes a meaningful and lasting impact thesectionsare service choose one form of service and train and give practical service to others for example community service child care life saving care for animals there are heaps of options to choose from skill choose a hobby a topic to study or some other leisure interest follow it through regularly for the time listed and improve your skill or knowledge examples photography computing wood turning billiards and snooker aquarium keeping again there are heaps to choose from physical recreation take up a physical activity for the time listed and reach a given standard or show improvement examples rugby netball swimming aerobics orienteering there are many to choose from adventurous journey after basic training including practice journeys plan and carry out a venture that includes camping expedition undertake a journey with a purpose in wild country on foot exploration complete an approved study or other activity in wild or open country including at least 10 hours journeying other adventurous project complete some other adventurous project of an equally or more demanding nature in each case there should be an average number of hours planned activity each day comparable ventures on horseback or by cycle boat or canoe are also acceptable for the service skills and physical recreation sections two must be carried out for 3 month duration and one for six months as they move up to silver and gold the requirements become greater the real strength with the programme is that it is internationally recognised at any level and especially gold to date i have been encouraged at the number of year 10 students signing up for bronze the challenge always is of course to encourage students to continue through to their arequest i would be keen to hear from anyone who might have a set of bagpipes gathering dust in a cupboard at home and who might be prepared to loan these to the chaplain i am currently using a school set of pipes which are needed for students due to the increase in interest in learning the pipes if you do and would be happy to loan them please contact me rev warren fortune ­ school 8731136 ext 7019 or home 8783116 be assured i would look after them as if they were my own as term one races on every good wish to you and yours rev.warrenfortune chaplain 6
