The heartfelt message sent by the Archbishop was greatly appreciated by so many. It might also be appreciated if you could let your school community know when the community is praying for them specifically. Maybe your students could even pray for other schools with you. July Pray Daily A Prayer in the Midst of a Crisis God of our Salvation, you have ordained that we should serve you in serving one another. Look upon your people, burdened at this time with many cares and anxieties, with infection, sickness, and untimely death. Grant us grace to work together, with honest and faithful hearts, each caring for the good of all; that, striving first for your kingdom and its righteousness, we may have added to us all things that we need for our daily sustenance and the common good. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (Based on a prayer of Geoffrey Fisher) 2 | P a g e Vanessa Gamack ASC MINI MONDAY MANUSCRIPT ASC July Schools 1 Anglican Schools Office, Church House: Executive Director – Sherril Molloy & staff 2 Anglican Church Grammar School, East Brisbane: Headmaster – Alan Campbell; Chaplain – Bryan Gadd; Chair of School Council – Daniel O’Connor, members of School Council; staff & students 3 Cannon Hill Anglican College, Cannon Hill: Principal – Gary O’Brien; Chaplain – Vacant; Chair of College Council – Gavin Nicholson; members of College Council; staff & students 4 Canterbury College, Waterford: Principal – Daniel Walker; Chaplain – Elroy Mee; Chair of College Council – Jeff Thomas; members of College Council; staff & students 5 Coomera Anglican College, Coomera: Principal – Mark Sly; Chaplain – Mary-Anne Rulfs; Chair of School Council – Stephen Knott; members of College Council; staff & students 6 Fraser Coast Anglican College, Hervey Bay: Principal – Joe Wright; Chaplain – Jeff Jarvis; Chair of College Council – Kirsti Kee; members of College Council; staff & students 7 Hillbrook Anglican School, Enoggera: Principal – Geoff Newton; Chaplain – David Adams; Chair of School Council – Robert Seljak; members of School Council; staff & students 8 Matthew Flinders Anglican College, Buderim: Principal – Stuart Meade; Chaplain – Kathrin Koning; Chair of College Council – Evan Gilbert; members of College Council; staff & students 9 St Aidan’s Anglican Girls’ School, Corinda: Principal – Toni Riordan; Chaplain – Gillian Moses; Chair of School Council – Stephen Green; School Council members; staff & students 10 St Andrew’s Anglican College, Peregian Springs: Principal – Chris Ivey; Chaplain – Gary McClellan; Chair of College Council – Rosalyn Cheales; members of College Council; staff & students 11 St Hilda’s School, Southport: Principal – Wendy Lauman; Chaplain – Patrick Duckworth; Chair of School Council – Susan Brandis; members of School Council; staff & students 12 St Luke’s Anglican School, Bundaberg: Principal – Craig Merritt; Chaplain – Iain Furby; Chair of School Council – Hermina Conradie; members of School Council; staff & students 13 St John’s Anglican College, Forest Lake: Head of College – Maria McIvor; Chaplain – Vacant; Chair of College Council – Steve Scott; members of College Council; staff & students 14 St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School, Ascot: Principal – Roslyn Curtis; Chaplain – Susan Crothers-Robertson; Chair of School Council – Alison Quinn; School Council members; staff & students 15 St Paul’s School, Bald Hills: Headmaster – Paul Browning; Chaplain – Mark Leam; Acting Chair of School Council – Lynda Johnson; members of School Council; staff & students 16 The Glennie School, Toowoomba: Principal – Mary Anne Evans; Chaplain – Sharon Mitchell; Chair of School Council – Paddy Nicholls; members of School Council; staff & students 17 The Southport School, Southport: Headmaster – Greg Wain; Chaplain – Jonathan Whereat; Chair of School Council – Fraser Perrin; members of School Council; staff & students 18 The Springfield Anglican College, Springfield: Principal Steven Morris; Chaplain – Erika Williams; Chair of College Council – Tim Reid; members of College Council; staff & students 19 Toowoomba Anglican School, Toowoomba: Head of School – Simon Lees; Chaplain – Zoe Browne; Chair of School Council – Mac Drysdale; members of School Council; staff & students 20 West Moreton Anglican College, Karrabin: Principal – Geoff McLay; Chaplaincy team – Louise Orpe, Brenda Davis & Juliana Bate; Chair of College Council – Ian Lupton; members of School Council; staff & students 21 All Saints Anglican School, Merrimac: Headmaster – Patrick Wallas; Chaplain – Ann McGuinness; Chair of School Council – John Fradgley; members of School Council; staff & students 22 St John’s College UQ: Rose Alwyn – Warden; Chaplain – Ceri Wynne; Chair of Council – John Peden; members of College Council; staff & students 23 St Francis Theological College, Milton: Principal – †Jonathan Holland; Academic Dean – Peter Kline; staff; sessional lecturers & students 24 Anglican Schools Australia Management Committee and Member Schools: President – Peter Laurence 25 All Anglican Schools Business Managers/Bursars and Senior Leaders 26 State School Teachers 3 | P a g e Vanessa Gamack ASC MINI MONDAY MANUSCRIPT ASC Amazing People Schools We are so thrilled to see so many Anglican schools making the most of the very generous offers from our friends at Amazing People Schools. I think you all know my passion for Character Education – so I am excited to hear about how you are finding Amazing People Schools. My connection to Amazing People Schools came about through my connections with Liz Wright, Frederika Roberts and of course, the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues in the UK. The Church of England works closely with the Jubilee Centre – hence the reason for my visit there. Let me know what you think! Marion is still offering free access for Term 3. Do call or email Marion. She is delightful and so helpful! Schools that we are associated with who are currently using or looking at Amazing People Schools include: Anglican Church Grammar School St John’s Cannon Hill Anglican College St Luke’s Anglican School Fraser Coast Anglican College St Margaret’s Anglican Girls’ School Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School The Glennie School Newcastle Grammar School The Southport School Radford College (Also, quite a few Anglican schools in Sydney and of course many in the UK and worldwide are also using the programme.) 4 | P a g e Vanessa Gamack ASC MINI MONDAY MANUSCRIPT ASC Social Justice Resources and Ideas Thank you to the people who have been asking about Social Justice resources and ideas. I am sure that you all know that Fr Richard Browning is our resident expert in this area – so do not hesitate to contact him. He has written an entire book that would be an excellent resource for your school! Here are a few ideas from me: From TEAR FUND – on the RE:Quest website. A great video to explain one Christian perspective on charity and social justice. Plenty of ideas on the TEAR FUND website and on the RE:Quest website. Ideas for you and your class – lots to explore on the website. Living in an unjust world: What do justice and mercy really look like? Big Issue - Homelessness Big Issues - Poverty Plenty of resources around TEARFUND - http://request.org.uk/issues/global- issues/tearfund-a-christians-response-to-poverty-and-need/ 5 | P a g e Vanessa Gamack ASC MINI MONDAY MANUSCRIPT ASC Black Lives Matter I urge you to consider using
