It may be a year many would want to forget But ye

It may be a year many would want to forget

But yesterday is a day we all want to remember.

It was a celebration of our Yr 12’s schooling journey at Cedars. It was their final day of school.

This was not their Graduation Ceremony yet.... (that will come next Term).

It all began with a beautiful breakfast for the class of 2020 with teachers and staff who had taught them and encouraged them until the very end. The day finished with a walkthrough of the entire school as each student and staff member celebrated our graduates as they passed by.

We thought it would be special for them to put on their caps and gowns in Prep where many of them began their schooling journey at Cedars. The class of 2020 led by our College Captains then began their walk through a massive archway of balloons into Junior School, Middle School and then ending at Senior College.

Every class had prepared a special Covid safe way of celebrating each graduating student from waving pom poms to party hats and streamers to signs of individual students.

There was hardly a dry eye in the entire school as our graduates walked past the students who have prayed for them, some even their own brothers or sisters, and many teachers who have taught them along their journey.

The walkthrough ended in the hall where Yr 12 listened to an inspirational speech from Mr Walton and then our new Captains for 2021 were welcomed in and presented their badges by the outgoing Captains.

The students then danced to the song Glorious - and glorious it was!

The day ended as each graduate was presented with a beautifully packed gift bag which each class had lovingly prepared - there were prayers and bible verses plus many many treats and gifts for each. Yes the tears flowed once again.

A year to remember ?

Yes.

For our class of 2020 - we hope you never forget it - we love and celebrate you and are so incredibly proud of you.

Jordan Stalker BSc. International Business + Gridi

Jordan Stalker
BSc. International Business + Gridiron Scholarship to USA

Jordan Stalker was Cedars’ College Captain in 2011. With a passion for all things sport, Jordan’s early successes were on the rugby field before making the switch to Gridiron. As part of the World U/19 team, Jordan led the team to defeat USA 35-29.

But Jordan’s discipline and passion for sport were also evident in the classroom. Having won a scholarship to attend Gardner-Webb University, North Carolina, USA, in 2013 majoring in International Business, Jordan made the honours list for much of his course.

Jordan says that his highlight in the United States was being part of the homecoming winning team against the University of North Carolina in front of a record crowd. The event was made extra special because of the presence of his family.
Fast forward to 2020 and Jordan is back home in Wollongong and working as a Project Research Manager for local business Edentify.

Of course he is still playing gridiron (and rugby) and is also one of the coaches for the Australian U19 Gridiron Team.

Jordan says, ‘My time at Cedars consisted of me forming life long relationships and being shaped into who I am today.’

‘I still remember starting in Year 2 and will always appreciate the extra effort and genuine care the staff at Cedars gave to all the students. It is those sort of things that I look back on and realise I took them for granted.’

Did you know today is International Day of Sign La

Did you know today is International Day of Sign Languages??

Our Prep students (and staff) have been learning (and loving) Key Word Sign. 👌🏽♥️😊

Key word sign is the use of signs with natural gestures to help with communication and language development. It uses a core vocabulary of specifically selected words containing concepts and ideas with each being matched to a hand sign. Here in Australia the sign language is called Auslan, using sign and speech together.

How wonderful our youngest students have been given this opportunity. 👏🏼🙌🏼

Abi Jordan
Athletic Scholarship to University of Maryland (UMBC) completing BPsych

Abi is not only a phenomenal athlete, she is a person with incredible character and a has a deep desire to mentor young people.

Abi graduated from Cedars in 2017 and was then offered a full athletic scholarship to the Div 1 University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) where she is currently a player on their women’s soccer team, the UMBC Retrievers.

Abi’s success as an athlete is extremely impressive and includes:
·         Cedars Sports Woman of the Year (twice).
·         National Christian School Games MVP in 2017.
·         Winner of the Pierre de Coubertin Award in 2017
·         Awarded the NSW Combined and Independent Schools Outstanding Sporting Achievement and Best and Fairest Player Awards in 2016.
·         Played club soccer for the Illawarra Stingrays, South Coast Taipans, New South Wales Combined High Schools, and Australian School Girls.

The Illawarra Football Academy described Abi as, “One of the most promising up and coming talented female players here on the South Coast.”

It’s not all sport for Abi though. She is also working towards her Bachelor of Psychology. She would like to combine her degree and her talent as an athlete and mentor young athletes.
“I am quite a ‘people person’ and from a young age have loved the idea of mentoring young people. I have found that soccer, in particular, coaching has provided me with the opportunity to personally grow this passion and invest into young players’ lives.”

Abi’s passion for teaching and mentoring was largely developed as a student at Cedars.

“I believe that my passion for pursing education and a mentor focused role was rooted from my time at Cedars.

Ps Caleb Hanzy BTheol From a young age Caleb knew

Ps Caleb Hanzy
BTheol

From a young age Caleb knew there was a call from God on his life to be in ministry. His passion has always been to bring people closer to Jesus, to see them living to their potential and to be completely fulfilled. That’s why Caleb chose to follow in his dad’s footsteps, to become a Pastor.

Caleb completed his Bachelor of Ministry at Alphacrucis College after graduating from Cedars in 2012 as College Captain. Learning valuable leadership skills during his captaincy has helped Caleb in his position as Young Adults Pastor of Awaken Church in Wollongong.

“I oversee all those aged 18 – 35 at Awaken Church as well as have been leading the large night service.”

Caleb also had in his heart to start a church service at the University of Wollongong which would potentially impact thousands of students. His vision became a reality two years ago when he and a small group of young adults launched the service at the University.

“I am passionate about people experiencing the love of God and I want to see young people rise up and fulfill their potential and to truly find their purpose here on earth.”

He preaches and teaches regularly as well as overseeing teams of people. Caleb is a recognised leader in his community.

It’s not all ‘ministry’ for Caleb though. “I love basketball, drinking coffee and trying new cafes, plus spending time with my wife Leyla and pug puppy. I have three younger brothers who all went through Cedars, and my incredible wife also graduated Cedars the year after me.

Caleb has wonderful memories of his time as a student at Cedars. “I have too many fond memories of Cedars to count, but here are just a few. I loved the relationships I built with both students and teachers. I still regularly catch up with friends I made from school. I loved getting to see Cedars grow from a small collection of classrooms when I was in Junior School to the amazing educational organisation it is today. I cannot say enough positive things about Cedars.”

The future for Caleb?
