Newsletter Week 7
Week 7 is already here and we
have enjoyed a long weekend.
This gave us the chance to stay
away after a number of students
contracted ‘gastro’ last week.
Please make sure that you keep your
child home if they show any symptoms
like vomiting or diarrhoea for at least
24 hours after these symptoms have
stopped. We have been reminding our
students to keep up their healthy habits
of thorough hand washing and using
Memory Verse:
"For even the son of man came
not to be served but to serve
others"

sanitisers before eating. Thank you for
your support with this important issue.
Our teachers spent the day on Friday
together learning about a number of
different things. One of them was the
program Circle of Security. We have an
Occupational Therapist who has been
working with us, and, would like to start
this program at Bethany. The program
reminds us to be bigger, stronger, wiser
and kind. I found this a very helpful way
to look at relationships and the challenges that we often face in knowing how
to best relate to our children. I was also
reminded that God is bigger, stronger,
wiser and kind as He relates to us as His
children. I know that people can have
very different experiences and these
impact our ability to relate to others
in helpful ways. This program gives
practical strategies to help us to grow
as a community. We also spent more
time working on our new report format
to make sure that we are accurately
reporting student progress. I hope that
you find the new layout helpful.
Our OSHC continues to grow steadily
and I am hearing very positive feedback
about the service. If you have been
thinking about before or after school
care, I would encourage you to either
check it out on our website or drop in
and talk to Rebecca any day before or
after school.
Our Adult English Conversation Class has
started up again and is running weekly
2:30-3:30pm on Tuesdays in the ESL
classroom, all are welcome to attend.
On the 26th of May, Marie Klaproth
welcomed Elijah Lane Klaproth in to the
world. We are very excited for Marie and
her husband and have included a picture
of this new addition to our community. Also Mrs Robyn Curtis has gone on
maternity leave and we welcome Mrs
Alexandra Hall to our Year 6 team. We
also look forward to meeting Robyn’s
little person in the coming weeks.
As we head to the end of our term, more
sickness tends to hit with the colder
weather. Please be vigilant by keeping
sick children home to rest and recover
so that we all can continue to come to
school ready to learn.
I hope that you are enjoying the new
emailed version of this newsletter and
can see how we are being responsible
to our environment through reducing
printing. If you do have any difficulty

DEPUTY’S CORNER
From The Deputy
I do hope as you are reading this you
are keeping warm and well and that you
have not been caught out by the colder
weather! I also hope you all had a wonderful long weekend with your families.
I received an email the other day from a
Leadership group who wrote an article
titled, “Don’t Ruminate”. Intrigued, I read
on. Their opening statement was;
“Cows "chew the cud" or "ruminate" when
they bring up food from their stomachs
and chew it over and over again.
Although we don't do this with food, we
can tend to ruminate with our thoughts. To
ruminate means to bring past and usually
unpleasant experiences back up to the
surface to think about them over and over
again.
It is easy for us to keep replaying these
scenes in which hurt or conflict have occurred and keep watching the re-runs for
months, even years.”(acuteleadership.com,
14 June, 2016)
So why as human beings, do we tend
to ‘ruminate’ with our thoughts? It is a
thinking process, one that is highly negative as it sends the thinker into a down-
2
wards spiral of reflecting and remembering past hurt or conflict that may
be fresh or quite old. It is like watching
re-runs replaying bad memories.
Ruminating is really unhelpful as it does
not resolve the problem. It just evokes
stronger feelings of anger, hurt, betrayal,
frustration or some sense of justification
on how we feel towards the alleged offender. This downward spiral of thinking
also often blows the original incident
out of proportion.
So what is the cure? Often when it is
evident an individual is thinking negatively and re-living past pain it is helpful
to make them aware of what they are
doing and to help them see there is no
value in ruminating. When students
make a poor choice I explain it is like hitting a speed hump – all they need to do
is keep going and try not to dwell on the
past. Some people find this easy, some
find it a little more challenging. The
best part of it though, is with practice,
everyone gets better at moving on and
making a fresh start!
The School Peace-Wise Model (found
on page 7 of the student diary) shows
Bethany Christian School Newsletter 2016
a sliding scale of conflict ranging
from peace-faking (denial) through
to peace-breaking (aggression). Ideally we want everyone to work in the
peace-making (middle section) whereby
being honest and open about their role
in the conflict, the issue can be resolved
peacefully.
A negative mindset will send an individual to either side of peace-faking
or peace-breaking, whereas a positive
mindset (that is, not ruminating about
past hurt but actively dealing with it)
brings about peace-making.
I’ll leave you with the final thought from
the email;
“The longer we dwell on our misfortunes
the greater is their power to harm us.”
-Voltaire
I wish you and your family well!
God bless you,
Deb Clifford

Online Survey
Attention Parents!
Do you have a child aged from 0 to 18years?
Would you like the chance to win a $100 prepaid VISA card?
USQ is looking for parents of children aged from 0-18yrs (with and without
food allergies) to participate in a study on Australian parents’ food allergy
knowledge and feeding.
Australia has one of the highest rates of food allergy in the world yet little is known about food allergy
knowledge and how it affects how parents feed their children. This study is investigating food allergy
knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, childhood feeding and allergies in children. Participation involves completing an on-line survey which takes about 15-20 minutes. The research study has received ethical approval from USQ.

Enrolling Students at
Temple Christian College
If you are considering enrolling your child for Year 7 at Temple Christian College, please
contact Temple Christian College for an Application Form. In the past, we have suggested
that families fill these in from Year 5 onwards, but due to the growth of the school and
interest from families outside of Bethany Christian School, it is essential that we have your
Application Form as soon as possible, so we can plan future numbers. Bethany Christian
School students still have first priority, but only if we know your child is coming. There is
no cost involved in applying, so whether your child is in Reception or Year 5, please get
your Application Form to us as soon as possible and reserve your child’s position.
For Application Forms or for more information, please contact the Enrolment Registrar
Linda Hunter on 8256 9600.
