168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø

As we approach the end of the academic year, I would like to take the opportunity to thank our staff who have contributed to a successful 2017 and celebrate the service of those members of staff who are leaving us to pursue their personal and professional goals.

Two long standing staff members have decided that 2018 will be their first year of retirement.

Ms Sue Cullum has been an iconic teacher for the last 29 years at 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s and is retiring after being at 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s since January 1989. Ms Cullum has been a committed professional, being involved in the school’s extra-curricular program, particularly in service learning and student charity fundraising. For approximately 10 years in the 1990s, Ms Cullum was the School’s Cross Country Coach. Ms Cullum has mainly taught Geography, History, Humanities and Religious and Values Education (called Divinity in the early years). She also acted in the capacity of Year Level Supervisor and Head of Department – Humanities during her years of service. Ms Cullum is a dedicated teacher and a respected colleague who will be missed by both students and staff.

Mrs Susan Forbes is retiring from teaching to spend more time with her children and grandchildren. She began teaching at 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s in July 2007. She has taught several year groups during this time – but always in the early childhood area. Mrs Forbes is a dedicated teacher who has been very focussed on building the foundational literacy and numeracy skills of her students and has been active in the School’s extra-curricular program. We thank her for her service to the school community and wish her well.

168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s has a reputation for developing leaders of the profession. The downside of this is that our staff often pursue promotional opportunities, are successful and leave us. Sadly, we say goodbye to Ms Samantha Bolton, Mrs Trudi Edwards and Mr John O’Sullivan Williams who have all been successful in attaining a higher position in another school.

Samantha Bolton has been at 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s for 5 years. She was appointed as the Dean of Academics (later changed to Dean of Pedagogy) in January 2013. During this time, she has worked tirelessly and in collaboration to improve the School’s Teaching and Learning Program. She leaves an important legacy in the school – the 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s Quality Teaching and Learning Framework. She has also worked closely with our senior students to support them in achieving the best academic outcomes. We wish her well as she takes up the role as Deputy Principal of Clayfield College. Ms Bolton is a fine educator with an obvious passion to support student learning, and she will be missed.

We have been very fortunate to have had Trudi Edwards on staff for the last 2 years in the role of Assistant Head of Primary. Trudi is a highly-respected educator and she, too, has left a legacy for us to follow in the teaching and learning program in the Primary School. Trudi is a dedicated teacher and leader who has deservedly achieved a Head of Primary role, at Matthew Flinders Anglican College. Her high energy and her generous and kind manner will be very much missed. We wish her well for her next role.

Mr John O’Sullivan Williams has worked diligently and effectively over the last three years as the Head of Faculty – Arts and Design; however, he will probably be best remembered for his direction of two very successful school musicals, Annie and The Sound of Music. Mr O’Sullivan Williams is taking on the leadership role of Head of Middle School at West Moreton Anglican School where he will have responsibility for the day to day running of a sub-school of 400 students; we wish him all the best and thank him for his contributions to the school community.

Some members of our staff, Jacqui Smith and Tamara Garvey, who took a year’s leave to pursue other interests in 2017 have decided not to return to 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s. It is an exciting time in their lives as they pursue other professional interests and they have our best wishes. Ms Tahlia Butler, who has decided to take up full time study in 2018 and Mrs Alison Robinson, who ‘won the green card draw’ and is heading to the United States to live and work are also leaving us. They have been wonderful colleagues and teachers and will be missed.

We also farewell our contract staff who this year made wonderful contributions filling in for staff who were on leave. Thank you to Mr Tom Smithers, Ms Hayley Mann, Ms Amie Lucht, Ms Brittany Graham and Ms Elisabeth Knowles. We are grateful for their flexibility and wish them all well with their next school.

I was so pleased to receive an email message from one student who thanked me for the 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s Way reminder and said: “This will definitely make our day more meaningful as we are constantly reminded of what is important and how we can be the best versions of ourselves that we can be.”

This year, staff and students have made amazing progress in embedding the key messages of the 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s Way.

The Key aspects are:

Appreciation

Self:

• We appreciate our strengths, acknowledge the good that we bring to our community and offer these unique qualities to others.
• We acknowledge our areas requiring development and embrace a mindset for continual improvement.
• We demonstrate respect for, and appreciation of, ourselves by always acting with integrity, consideration and compassion.

Community:

• We genuinely appreciate and acknowledge others in order to strengthen and support our community to be the best we can each day and to boost our relationships with peers, students, staff and parents boost our relationships with peers, students, staff and parents.
• We acknowledge each other with respect and ensure that all communication is based on this value, with no preconceptions regarding intent of behaviour.
• We appreciate those with whom we share the responsibility for creating a dynamic learning environment.

Alignment and Accountability

Self:

• We align ourselves with the values of 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s and endeavour to fulfil the ethos and vision of the school.
• We are accountable to ourselves through the way we behave, fulfilling our positive role as student, teacher or parent.
• We take responsibility for our own actions and do not seek to place blame.

Community:

• As a community, we operate through the six core values, thus ensuring a strong sense of cohesiveness through alignment and accountability to a common cause.
• We are aligned towards achieving our key goals - academically, pastorally and philanthropically - in order to ensure improved outcomes for all students.
• We actively choose to give of our best to all members of the community and in times of challenge, seek out solutions together.

I look forward to more messages and actions incorporating the 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s Way into 2018 and beyond.

Prayer for end of year celebrations

Last week, I read the following as an opening prayer for Speech Night. As a community that aims to support and uplift the unique qualities and strengths of each students, it is also essential to give applause to those who struggle and show improvement in baby steps. As we marvel at the more obvious accomplishments, we also admire those who take longer to shine, those who choose to simply get involved and give things a ‘go’:

Eternal Spirit of Life and Love, as our constant companion through this world of challenge and change, draw us together as a community this night – united in our joy, bonded in our shared purpose and rejoicing in the gifts that each member may bring.

For academic, sporting and cultural success, we rightly give thanks. But we lift to you all those who shine with humility, compassion, with the gift of creativity and selflessness, for characteristics that make true leaders … for all the members of the fabric of our school we rejoice and celebrate each one.

Amen.

With every blessing on you and your week ahead,

The Reverend Nicki Colledge 

Behind the scenes in Boarding there are many people who work tirelessly to ensure the best possible experience for all of the students. At the Boarders’ dinner, we acknowledged Ms Curtis and the Leadership Team, the House Mothers, Scott and his team in the kitchen, the Facilities department and all members of the community who make Boarding successful. We also very importantly said a big thank you to all parents.

My final words to the girls were about their future and living ‘bravely’. The girls were encouraged to back themselves and take some risks, to speak the truth and exit from their comfort zone to go after what they truly wanted and to honour themselves fully. If all girls can do this they will be stronger, wiser, happier, more purposeful, more resilient and more whole.

These are valuable words for all students. We should encourage them to live purposefully – decide what they stand for, value their own opinion above others, trust their intuition, focus on what they want, own their choices, resist conformity and embrace what makes them different. The Year 12s of 2017 are now in the next stage of their journey and in Boarding we will continue to focus on encouraging all girls to live bravely.

QCS Practice Tests

The girls have already sat a practice Short Response paper, which has been marked by qualified markers and returned to the School. They will get the results of this at the beginning of 2018, along with the results from the Writing Task and Multiple Choice papers they are sitting on Monday. The purpose of these tests is to provide us with some data which can be used to shape the QCS preparation program for Term 1. There is no need for the students to be concerned about these tests – they are purely about gathering information. At this stage, they should expect to find the papers difficult and should not expect to attain high marks. The work they do next year will assist them to navigate the QCS tests more effectively and give them greater confidence.

I have included a couple of Multiple Choice questions from the 2016 MCII paper for your interest. These items assess the skills of analysis, comparing and contrasting. 

Be Year 12 Ready

In the session I am delivering to the selection rank students on Monday, I intend to focus on the beliefs and behaviours which I believe can assist young people to be successful learners and consequently to make the most of Year 12. The ideas I will be talking about include mindset, grit, planning and communication.

Samantha Bolton 

She went on to explain that in her household, like in many of ours I am sure, the phrase “Check the BoM” has been used. The BoM is a very useful tool to seek out warnings, forecasts, advice and general information about what the weather is doing so we can plan our upcoming activities. How helpful would this be? Being able to know what is around the corner in our life? In my job, I spend a lot of time putting processes in place to help the girls to plan for what is next; assessment calendars, curriculum documents, feedback, meetings, data analysis, reports and the list could go on. However, this article reminded me that all planning can actually disrupt the present. Kathleen Noonan, in her article quoted Marcus Aurelius who said, “Never let the future disturb you”, and this really made me reflect about how we do spend so much time looking for and planning for what is next, rather than learning from and living in the now.

Fast forward to my Year 7 Science of Learning class, on Friday just before lunch. After a lesson on Metacognition and how we think, we had some time to reflect on the goals we set for our learning at the beginning of Term 3. As a class, we discussed how we are travelling and put some more plans in place to guide our learning journey. However, it was at this point that profound nature of Kathleen Noonan’s article hit me. As much as we, as a school and you as parents, try to assist the girls to forecast for the ‘what next’, it is important to remember that the future and its events can be uncertain. We need to continue to develop in our girls the need to embrace and own their own learning and not let the future (assessment) disturb the present, as it is in the casual moments of life the best learning occurs. Therefore, it is important for us as educators and you as parents to hand over the reins of learning to the people to whom the journey belongs. Let them guide and forecast, make mistakes and fail, celebrate and succeed and love learning for learning’s sake.

End of the Year Reporting Process (Years 7-11)

End of Semester Reports will be accessible via Parent Lounge on Friday 8 December after 3:00pm. Please note also that all Continuous Reporting Information will be available from this date as well.

Each student’s report will consist of a comment from her Head of Year, as well as a page for each subject. The final page of the report is the Grade Point Average (GPA) graph which records the student’s overall level of achievement and tracks this from semester to semester.

For each subject, there is a list of the course content, marks for the criteria assessed, a table showing the distribution of achievement levels within the subject and an assessment of your daughter’s attitude to her learning. The academic results reflected in this report are based on the assessment completed throughout Semester 2.

The Buddy Program provides our current students with a great opportunity to lead and to be an ambassador for our wonderful school. The day is filled with get-to-know-you games, tours and an activity afternoon where students rotate around music, science, drama, sport and art sessions. Thank you to Mrs Barrie, Mrs Walker, Mrs Lishman, Ms Smith, Ms Garrahy, Mr King and Mr O’Sullivan Williams for assisting with these activities. We look forward, as a community, to welcoming our new students to 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s.

Nikki Townsend 

There is a tradition of these girls visiting and seeing the Primary staff before they step into the big world; it is a time to reflect on who they were and who they have become; confident, capable young women. As I reminisced with these girls, including the times we may have had ‘discussions’ in my office, these graduating girls focussed on what they learnt from the ‘discussion’ rather than the issue. It was these discussions that provided the life lessons, that have helped shape their character.

As a Primary school, it is our hope that the Year 6 girls will also take these life lessons with them when they take a new path next year, on their educative journey. However, more immediately, during the upcoming week the Year 6 girls will participate in their final activities as listed below:

Monday 27 November: Lifetime Friends Morning Tea, 9:50am – 10:25am in the Primary Library

Tuesday 28 November: Chapel Service and Morning Tea, 8:30am – 11:30am in the Chapel and Arts Centre Foyer (ACF)

Wednesday, 29 November: Speech and Drama Eisteddfod, 8:20am – 1:30pm in the Independent Learning Centre (ILC)

Wednesday 29 November: Activities Day with the whole school

Thursday 30 November: 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø’s Christmas Service, 9:00am – 10:00am in the Philip Harris Sports Cenbtre (PHSC)

Thursday 30 November: Final Primary Assembly, 2:00pm in the Atrium

Thursday 30 November: Year 6 End of Year Party, 6:00pm – 9:00pm in the Arts Centre Foyer (ACF)

The Year 6 Chapel Service and morning tea is one of the most significant events for these girls. At the morning tea that follows, the girls share their Primary journey with family and friends with many laughs, tears and happy memories.

There is, however, one event at the end of the year that all the students in the Primary School get behind; MAGGIES GOT TALENT! This activity is organised and hosted by the Student Representative Council (SRC) and done so without any teacher input, which is a credit to these girls, the contestants and audience. We look forward to the girls announcing the winners at the final assembly. This assembly will also include acknowledgement of the girls who have been in the Primary School since Pre-Prep and Prep. The staff and I look forward to sharing this final week with the students.

The following assessment results and feedback will be available after 3:30pm on Friday this week:

Year 5 HPE Health assessment
