Year 7 Meet the Chaplains
On Wednesday 13th March, Rev Dudley and Rev Benn invited the year 7 boarders to their Chaplains meeting room for pizza and juice. Rev Dudley explain to us how he made pizzas half pepperoni and half BBQ meat lovers. While we shared pizza and drank juice Rev Dudley introduced himself in special way. He told three statements about his life but each one of them was either true, or not completely true.
The first was: “My dad was a poor man and he lived in the alleyways of Newtown with 5 sisters, he was the only boy. When my dad moved to Bathurst he lived on a farm with me and my 4 sisters, and now I live with my wife a son and 3 daughters. True or false?” The majority of the people there, even Mr Junee, believed it was true… and it was! He went on talking more about his life and how he became a Christian. He also mentioned how he wanted to be in an Olympic hockey team and how Rev Benn entered to be in the hurdles in the 2000 Olympics. We were sceptical at first but again the majority believed him, and he did go to the Olympics to spectate not to compete. Rev Dudley then called on Mr Junee, the house master of School House, to say one. Mr Junee said, “As you all may know I went to St Joeys and when I was in year 7 back in 1982 there was a book-a-thon where the whole year was competing to read a certain number of pages to win a book voucher, I won that book-a-thon by reading the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum. True or false? We believed most of the story but many of us knew the Bourne series didn’t come out then and we ended up catching Mr Junee in a lie.
Overall all of the year 7 boarders had an amazing time learning and spending time with Mr Junee, Rev Benn and Rev Dudley.
