WelcomeI would like to extend a very warm welcome to the 11 new families that joined the College community at the beginning of Term 3. We are also joined by Daniela Jaegar who is a Rotary exchange student from Germany.

SurveyThe parent survey has been emailed to a random selection of parents across the College. To ensure that the results are both valid and reliable it is important that as many parents complete this survey. Please complete the survey by Monday 9th November.

EmailsThe College is endeavoring to email all information and permission notes to parents as well as the usual methods of distribution. The majority of emails that we hold for families are “bouncing”. To ensure that you receive this information electronically, please email your current email account details to [email protected]. Alternatively if you have access to the parent portal you can update your records online.

Building the Education Revolution Update

The revised commencement date for our Library project is now the first week in December. Ablock, local builders have been appointed to manage the construction and are now working with local contractors to finalise costs for each stage of the project. The revised construction date should minimize disruption to the Campus. The project

is expected to be completed and handed over ready for opening at the commencement of Term 3, 2010.

Junior School News

Welcome back to Term 4

We welcome everyone back to a new term. I would like to especially welcome our new students:

Matthew Davison 4M, Jarrod Nangle 5/6B, Jordan Barneaude-Smith 5/6B, Stacey Spence 5H, Louise Davison 6S. We also welcome back Mrs Catherine Gitau from maternity leave.

Public Speaking

Our public speaking finals were a wonderful culmination and a tribute to the enthusiastic preparation by our students. We heard speeches on a wide range of topics and children regaled us with information about things that they were passionate about. Our attentive audiences loved the event. Certificates were presented to all participants and in Stage 3 1st place was taken by Bronte Kent, 2nd place by Amelia Langley and 3rd place by Lakeisha Pilt.

Southern Schools Public Speaking

CompetitionThe Southern Schools Public Speaking Competition will be held at the College on Friday 6 November for students in Years 3 & 4 and on Friday 13 November for students in Years 5 & 6. This is a marvellous opportunity for students to compete on a wider stage and against students from other schools.

ConcertThe children love sharing their talents with others and delight in being given the opportunity to perform on stage. So we will be holding two concerts during the second last week of this term. Classes will be each preparing two items which they will present on stage in the gymnasium. The concerts will be held as follows:

Tuesday 1 December (9.30-10.45): Years K-2

Thursday 3 December (9.30-10.45): Years 3-6

Parents are welcome to come along.

Orientation DaysOver the past couple of weeks we have held Kindergarten Orientation Days for those children who will be starting school next year. Our General Kindergarten Orientation Day will be held on Tuesday 10 November. An orientation for students entering Years 1-6 will be held on Wednesday 25 November.

ICAS Mathematics Competition

Last term a number of students sat the Mathematics Competition set by the University of NSW. Congratulations to the following students who achieved very pleasing results:

Distinction: Thomas Daboub, Gabriella Ross, Tiffany Kho

Student ReportsTerm 4 is a busy term as teachers finalise assessments and prepare reports for distribution during the last week of term. For the first time in a number of years the report will be presented in a new format which we believe will be clearer and easier for parents to understand. There will be a comment for every subject area and a plain grading to show how children have performed in each subject. Words rather than letters will be used to describe a

child’s effort (excellent, good, satisfactory, inconsistent, and unsatisfactory) to avoid confusion and ambiguity. We are confident that our new reports will be more user friendly and will provide parents with more detailed information about their child’s progress.

Senior School News

Welcome Back After a couple of weeks break it has been great to see all the students back at school and hearing what they have been up to. I look forward to the exciting things planned for this term.

Welcome to new students

I am delighted to welcome a number of new students starting at the College this term. These students have met their buddies and are quickly learning what the College is all about. New students who started this term are:

Philippa Hehir and Beccy Maney (Year 7), Sarah Martin (Year 9), Danjela Jeagar (Year 11)

HSC ExamsThe HSC began on Tuesday 19th October at the Bomaderry Community Hall for College students. The venue is excellent being very quiet but also close to the school. It is nice and open and well lit. I and a number of other teachers have been down to the hall visiting students at the beginning and end of exams and wishing them well.

School Certificate Exams

The School Certificate examinations are rapidly approaching (9-11th November) and students are busily preparing for this. All Year 10 students should have received a letter explaining how the exams will run. They will take place in the College Gymnasium.

Year 7-9 ExamsYear 7-9 exams took place in Week 2 around the school in English, Maths, Science, History and Geography. I wish all those students well.

Year 11/12 Information Evening

An information evening was held on Monday November 3rd at 6pm for our new Year 12 students and parents. A representative from the Board of Studies presented on the night about how the HSC process works in terms of scaling and the new ATAR. We also heard about what parents can do to assist students over the next twelve months.

Earth & Environmental Science

First day back at the College for Term 4, first day doing real “Year 12” work, the Earth and Environmental Science class headed up the coast to do some “real geology”! First stop the Big Blow hole at Kiama, looking at the origins of the rock and how the blow hole is likely to have been formed. First major distraction: the mother and calf humped back whale swimming in the bay.

Second stop: Bombo headland – what wonderful weather – a light breeze to take

the sting out of the beautiful sunshine! Yes, we did actually get the worksheets done. After a leisurely lunch in Kiama we moved off to the little blow hole. Next distraction…. Some more humped back whales!

Final stop: the rock platform at Gerroa to investigate fossils especially Brachiopods. Lots of fossils to investigate once the class worked out what they were looking at but a slight distraction once again …. You guessed it … more whales!

We did have a discussion with the bus driver over cost of the trip – Kennedy’s had only charged us for a normal excursion not a whale watching expedition!

A great time was had by all – especially the teacher who enjoyed some fabulous views and some incredibly well behaved students. What a great start to the year 12 work schedule.

Ms Sue Turner Science Department

Prefects’ ColumnOn 28th September, our ten elected prefects set out from the College to attend this year’s Prefect Leadership Camp. The

camp began with a series of activities designed to encourage the students to start thinking about the skills that make a great leader. The students participated in trust exercises and communication challenges before heading for the river for a raft making sessions. The students divided into two groups – boys versus girls, and had a challenge to build a raft using pipes and wooden planks, paddle to a designated spot than to dismantle the raft. After much communication and the boys paddling whilst their boat sank around them (resulting in them swimming back with it) the girls won.

Another product of the camp was the Prefect planning session. In this time we discussed and developed ideas on what we would like to achieve during our time as prefects and how we, as a leadership team, can implement these plans.

The students then had to tackle some more serious theory work and spoke together about the qualities that a good leader possesses. Rev. Thomas attended camp to teach about the qualities of a great leader with a main focus on servant leadership.

The students then used these skills in a variety of new challenges later that first evening and the next when collaboratively they had to decide on captain and vice captain for the college for 2010. The students finally elected Alexander Morgan and Rebecca Hanlon as Captains and Mitchell Hosking and Dominique Tynan as Vice Captains.

After undergoing the process of selecting the Captains and Vice Captains, the students were again challenged with a team survival hike. This involved implementing the skills and qualities that they had learned and developed. This proved to be a difficult task that in order to succeed the students needed to pull together and use each other’s strengths and abilities.

Overall the camp proved to be a time of learning and development for the new leaders of the college. Together they wish to serve and represent the college to the best of their abilities.

2010 Prefect Team: Mitchell Hosking, Alexander Morgan, Matthew Armstrong, Julian Woods, Michael Outten, Rebecca Hanlon, Dominique Tynan, Jessica Hulme, Jessica Francis, Imogen Clothier.

Alex Morgan & Rebecca Hanlon

LOTEA group of students from Year 10 and Year 9 French last term undertook the Australian Language Certificate Examinations and we can congratulate them all on sound performances in a test which is Australia-wide. This is especially so for the Year 9 students, who do the same test as those on year 10. There were some exceptional results; Perryn Kent , Simone Tallent and Mikaela Bryce scored an almost perfect score in the Listening, a High Distinction, this puts their performance in this in the top 5% of the state. Lyle Halliday of year 9 scored a Distinction in both the Reading and Listening sections.

All classes are gearing up for testing, which is basically in speaking and listening skills for languages, especially in the Junior School.

Part of the Assessment for Year 8 involves the presentation of another play, “Comment y aller”. Much preparation and practice goes into this a,nd this time we have already seen a creditable performance from one group, even if their memorization mark could have benefitted by extra practice! Great skill in acting has been demonstrated by these “monsieurs”, well done boys (the one in the dress is playing “Marie”).

From the ChaplainI read on www.smh.com.au recently of man in Florida in the US who cracked open a can of Pepsi (that was not the cause of his problems all you Coke lovers out there) and discovered a dismembered frog in it. Someone with some authority said in response, “it has been verified, and it was indeed a frog.” The man who opened the Pepsi told CNN television that he was taken aback by the “disgusting” blob, which he was “not expecting in his drink”. Indeed.

Surprises can be good and of course they can be bad, disgusting even! But an interesting and comforting thing about God is that he himself is in control and sovereign over all life’s surprises, yet he (his character) does not change. So there is an unpredictability about God and life (there are surprises and things we don’t expect) but there is also a comforting predictability about God and his character. He is the God who does not change, kingdoms rise and fall, but the “Lord does not change” (Micah 3:6). Thankfully also, God’s Word in the scriptures does not change. He continues to speak by it, through his Spirit, as we read it; the same words God’s people have been reading for close to 2000 years. God’s Word is the “sword of the Spirit” (Eph 6:17) and is “God-breathed” and “equips us for every good work” (2 Tim 3:16-17).

There is a lot we can say about this, but one thing to highlight is that when life’s surprises come up, whether they be good ones or bad ones, God is still in control over all things and his Word tells us that he still loves us, listens to us and speaks to us.

Archibishop Peter Jensen’s Bible Study #4STEP 1: READING

Read Luke chapter 1: verses 57-80. This begins on page 10 of The Essential Jesus.

STEP 2: REFLECTION

Zechariah was made dumb because he unwisely questioned God’s messenger. Now his tongue is set free and he prophesies, speaking mightily for God. He reminds us that John is one who prepares the way for he coming of the Lord. But now we are particularly told what this will mean. Luke is really setting up the whole Jesus story with these words from God: ‘you will go before the Lord, to prepare his way, to make salvation known to his people by the forgiveness of their sins…’ In a world where people do not believe that sin is serious, or that we need to be forgiven, God declares that that is the central purpose in the coming of Jesus. It is no good thinking that Jesus is a mere moral teacher. He is a Saviour from our sins and the judgment which otherwise inevitably follows sin. Praise God!

In my home we have MSN, FaceBook, Blogs and now Twitter. And of course at school, I often hear about and sometimes witness students using these popular online instant communication tools. I don’t personally use MSN or FaceBook. However, I have become very curious about just what is the difference between blogging and twittering. Especially since our Prime Minister, as well as the American President, are twitters. They both used Twitter successfully during their election campaigns. It enabled them to get their agendas across quickly, with a tech savvy look and twist, to the younger voter. From my online research I found the following comments about the pros and cons of twittering and/or blogging. “Blogs and twitter have a lot in common, but the important distinction is size. A twitter update is 140 character max. A blog post can be hundreds of words and it can include pictures, audio and video.” “A blog is a much more complicated thing but it can bring a lot more to your organisation if you have the time and resources. Twitter is quick to start and quick to use.” “A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is blogging. And someone who keeps a blog is a blogger. Blogs are typically updated daily and arranged in chronological order.” “Twitter is a micro-blogging service where you have only 140 characters in length (called tweets) to express yourself and share online in a creative way.” I hope the above gives some clarity to the difference between Twitter and a Blog. If you would like more information on twittering go to:
