Darren Gynther - Head of Primary
Did you get to Presentation Night on
Wednesday evening?
As a keen muso, I was also in the
school band as a student. I loved the
short musical interludes that played
between presentations. We have
some very talented musicians indeed.
As I look back to my schooling, I’m
jealous of the range of subjects
offered in school these days –
Aerospace Studies, Kickstart and
Hospitality just to name a few.
I wait with great anticipation for the
naming of the 2016 School Leaders
and Captains. I remember these
students back in 2011 when I taught
lots of them. Most of them displayed
fine leadership qualities back then too.
One of the best things about teaching
Primary aged children is being able to
see how some of your past students
have gone on and achieved great
things many years later in Secondary
school. Firstly they look very different;
they are now young men and women
when before they may have been little
seven year olds. They once wanted to
be Firemen and Vets, now they are
seriously considering their University
placement and second round offers.
They used to go home after school
and play on the trampoline, now you
see them working shifts at the coffee
shop or local Take-away.
It is also an excellent feeling to see
students who you have spent so much
time and effort with, continuing on with
the foundations you helped set way
back in the Primary School classroom.
Really gives you Goosebumps. I think
this is just one of the rewards for so
many Primary teachers, myself
included.
Overall, I think that Presentation Night
was an excellent showcase of the
quality of students here at Mueller
College. It really is a place where we
can see God’s provision each and
every day.
God is Good – All the Time!

OTHER NEWS
Are you facing challenges that you’re struggling to make sense of? Are you experiencing life changes, transitions or
loss? Loss is something we all experience sometime in our lives. Loss isn’t just losing somebody close, but can
include loss of home, relationship, job, health, dreams and expectations to name a few. Counselling allows a safe
place to voice your thoughts, fears and feelings. Voicing them to another often enables you to see things from a
different perspective.
Friends and family members can be a great support to us, but are often unable to provide an objective point of view.
A counsellor won’t tell you what to do, but may help you consider choices, decisions and changes to enable you to
live your life more fully. Counselling doesn’t need to be long-term – in fact a single session may be all that’s needed.
Sometimes, though, more is needed over a period of weeks or months. We all differ, face different circumstances
and have differing needs, so respect and confidentiality are assured.
Mueller Community Church Counsellor, Jenny Billingham is available for parents, families, students and
staff at Mueller College. Phone 3897 2706 or 0427 876 396 for an appointment.
(Please leave a message if the phone is unattended) and your call will be returned at the earliest convenience).
