What is the purpose of the school newsletter?

• • • •

to celebrate achievements to tell the many good stories of our school and community to increase awareness around educational issues and thinking to create connectedness

This term I looked at the calendar to see what has happened since the last newsletter and this is what I could quickly see: • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Junior School OZ Opera TIGS DANCE Evening Elective Music Concerts Easter Service School and NASSA Cross Country Regional da Vinci Decathlon for Year 5 – Year 10 (three separate events) AICES and NASSA Touch football CIS AFL Trials Duke of Edinburgh Silver Expedition CIS Swimming Continuing rehearsals for the production Mary Poppins Planning for the Mother’s Day Breakfast ANZAC Day Services

What conclusions can be drawn from this exercise, and what conclusions do I hope our community sees?

Firstly, breadth. Our school offers an astounding breadth of opportunities to grow, learn, develop and shine. TIGS graduates are typically confident and willing to step out into various opportunities that are presented to them. This is because our students have the opportunity to follow their talents and passions and develop that confidence through the many opportunities offered here at our School.

Secondly, diversity. Our learners are multifaceted, they can be athletes and linguists, artists and academics or any other combination of gifts, talents, opportunities and interests. This week we hosted the da Vinci Decathlon for Years 7 to Year 10 and competed in the Junior School Decathlon at another school. The da Vinci Decathlon is an academic competition designed to challenge and stimulate the minds of school students. Students compete in teams of eight across 10 disciplines: Engineering, Mathematics and Chess, Code Breaking, Art and Poetry, Science, English, Philosophy, Creative Producers, Cartography and General Knowledge.

Finally, community. TIGS is unique in the support given to all of our learners by staff and by the other young people in finding that special area where they experience “flow” and developing their skills and expertise in that area. This is really exciting because when I observe one person shining at the front of the stage, athletics track, classroom, or any other area in our School, I typically see a supportive network of community surrounding that person, assisting them to achieve to that level

2017 ANZAC Dawn Service. Three staff and 17 students from Year 10, 11 and 12 participated in a 3-day expedition to Splendour Rock in the heart of the Blue Mountains to commemorate ANZAC Day. Two of our students, Remi Moores and Darcy Fisher, had the privilege of leading the National Anthem which brought many of the attendees to tears. as well as celebrating with them as they achieve it. We also enjoy the benefits of strong parent and community involvement and this is currently being lived out by our group of dads working hard to organise the Junior School Mother’s Day Breakfast and the “Understanding How the HSC Works” workshops being organised by the P&F. This combination of community, diversity and breadth results in a wonderful learning journey for the vast majority of students at our School. I encourage families to continue to seek out opportunities to be involved in the broader life at TIGS and benefit from the experiences, connections and growth that can occur as a result.

Over the holiday break I have finished reading a great book by Dr Phillip Dow on Intellectual Character Development. In this book, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual character. He explores seven key virtues - courage, carefulness, tenacity, fair-mindedness, curiosity, honesty and humility and discusses their many benefits. The recovery of virtue, Dow argues, is not about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. I look forward to sharing some of the thinking about each of the virtues with our school community over the coming weeks.

Staffing Changes in the Finance Department TIGS Business Manager, Mr Ben Marsh, has accepted a position as Business Manager at Malek Fahd Islamic School and will be finishing up at TIGS on 19th May. Ben has been a great asset to our School and we wish him much success in his new role. He is excited about the challenges of a new school with a very large enrolment (over 2400 students) and three campuses.

Allan Munro will take carriage of the Finance Office for the immediate future.

Please direct any inquiries concerning fees or payments to Allan after 19 May 2017.

I was blessed to enjoy some Long Service Leave during the second half of Term I. A part of my leave was spent in the United States. I enjoyed three weeks travelling with one of my sons. Much of our time was spent walking the streets of San Francisco, New Orleans and New York. We averaged around twenty kilometres a day. It’s a great way to get to know a city.

I had been to the States once before. On that occasion, I did a lot of driving or commuted via public transport. That shielded me somewhat from an experience I had this time as a pedestrian. We all know that Americans drive on the right-hand side of the road. What I hadn’t fully appreciated was how profoundly our traffic rules impact us as pedestrians.

As pedestrians, we tend to walk according to our traffic laws. It’s just something we do without thinking. For example, when passing someone going the opposite direction on a footpath in Australia we take to the left almost as if we were in vehicles on the road. In the U.S., however, pedestrians take to the right in agreement with their own traffic rules.

What this meant for me was that I had to consciously reorient myself from the left to the right as a pedestrian. My mind had to be engaged because my instincts, born out of many years of conditioning in Australia, had me on the left. Needless to say, I slipped into automatic on many occasions (too many!) and found myself bumping into goodhearted Americans who were navigating their own paths in automatic. Sometimes (fortunately not too often) I incited the ire of those whose path I was impeding.

It was somewhat of a revelation to me how our conduct as pedestrians was so dictated by the traffic rules we had established. That got me thinking how this is true of much of life. As human beings, we construct a norm for living. We tend to fall in line with this construction. We are usually fine with this until we bump into someone taking a different path. We are caused to wonder who has it right.

In the Bible, God presents to us a true construction of life. Sometimes this agrees well with the way we have constructed things ourselves (we have good instincts; we are made in God’s image). At other times, we find we have got it horribly wrong (we are fallen people who tend to move in opposite directions to God’s good intentions for us). Following God’s way will occasionally cause us to bump up against those who are going the way of human construction (what the Bible calls ‘the way of the world’). This demands a decision from us. Which way will we go?

It’s here that we need to remind ourselves that as the Author of Life God knows what’s best for us. We will do well to fall in line with him. God says this to us in Romans 12.2: “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

Mrs Narelle McRae Acting Head of Junior School/ Director of Student Wellbeing Junior School School Dismissal Procedures

Our School Campus is a busy place with multiple things happening every afternoon. We need the support of all parents and our whole community in ensuring that the children are supervised and safe.

Recently I have noticed children playing around campus whilst not under the direct supervision of an adult (either teacher or parents). This is a difficult situation for both the staff and for other children whose parents are either in Car Line or not on campus.

This week, staff have been directing and reminding students of the dismissal procedures that apply to all children in the Junior School. Thank you to our parents who support us in reminding their children of these rules and the reasons why they must be implemented. For your information, the requirements are as follows:

After School Activities

Students participating in after school activities must wait quietly on the Amphitheatre or the Breezeway for their activity to commence. They are not to play handball or any other game. At the conclusion of the activity, they are to be collected by parent/s and if not, will be escorted to TIGS Extend.

Car Line

Junior School students can only be collected from Drummond Drive Car Line. Students are not permitted to walk up to the Powell Street car park or to Western Avenue to wait with older siblings. All Junior School students being collected by car must sit in the supervised area and be escorted to the car by a staff member. Parents are also asked to check for people walking behind their cars before opening car boots and tailgates.

Buses

Students travelling on TIGS buses must wait on the Amphitheatre until the teacher on duty collects them to walk to the bus.

Students catching buses from the Princes Highway sit in the supervised car line area until their bus arrives.

Students Walking Home

Students who walk home of an afternoon are to wait on the Amphitheatre until 3:10pm when they are dismissed by a teacher to walk home.

Library Access

Students in Year 6 only may access the School Library in the afternoon for quiet study or homework.

These students meet on the Amphitheatre and are directed to the Library at 3:10pm when Senior classes conclude. They must sign in at the Library reception and be signed out when they are collected by parents. They must remain in the Library until they are collected. Please note that the Library closes at 4.00pm on Fridays.

Access to Playground Equipment

Students are not permitted to play on any play equipment unless directly supervised by a staff member or their parents. This is an important safety rule and any students noted doing this will be escorted either to the car line waiting area, the Amphitheatre waiting area or to the Junior School office.

Prep Siblings

Siblings of Prep students are provided with a supervised waiting area in a Junior School classroom and must be collected no later than 4.00pm.

Students still in the room after 4.00pm will be taken down to TIGS Extend.

The Prep student must be in attendance on the day for the Junior School student to be able to attend the Sibling Waiting Room facility.

Before School Arrangements

Supervision is provided on the Amphitheatre from 8:00am until play commences at 8.20am. Children arriving early to school are to come straight to the Amphitheatre with their bags.

Music Lessons

Children having music lessons before or after school are to be under the direct supervision of their tutor or parents. Siblings are not to play near the music tutor rooms during the lesson, they are to follow the procedures outlined above.

It is very important that we have routines and processes to keep our students safe before and after school. I appreciate the assistance of all school families in making sure we know where the children are before and after school and in keeping them safe at school each day.

SPORT

Junior School Cross Country

Well done to all our Year 3 to Year 6 students on their wonderful participation in the Cross Country last Wednesday.

SENIOR SCHOOL

Mr Greg Lanyon Head of Senior School Welcome back to the TIGS community after, hopefully, a restful break at the end of a busy term, culminating with the successful ArtsFest Showcase.

This great event was well attended by school families, friends, past and present students. There were several successes by students in the Senior School at the end of last term and over the Easter break.

In Debating, TIGS hosted Round 2 of HICES Debating, in Week 9 of Term I. It was a very successful afternoon and evening organised by Mrs Burton, ably assisted

by Mrs Bowmaker and Mrs Toland.

Two of our middle teams won their debates, as did Year 11 Opens and the Senior team (by forfeit). In Year 7 and 8, Alexandra Wall, Nathaniel Makotsvana, Nicholas Chiaverini, Isabella and Charlotte Atkinson, Aditya Sinha, Nick Seal and Enuri Gamage acquitted themselves well with close losses. For several of these students it was the first time that they had been part of a formal debate.

The following students were members of the teams who won debates in this round. Lachlan Boardman, Katie Gorham, Beth Michelmore and Ashton Mackay in Year 7. Lucy Koder, Aria Bacic-Johnston, Daniel Michelmore and Mackinly Zecevic in Year 8. Sam Aubin (Year 9), Francesca Lambert, Minseo Kang and Nicole Russo in Year 10. Daniel Dragutinovich, Jana Massingham, Zara Winter and Noah Koder in Year 11.

Thanks also to Ella de Graaf-Clark and Lara Papadimitriou who were dedicated timekeepers and chairpersons for the evening.

In the visual arts, students are encouraged to enter various state and national school art competitions and events. One such event that some of our students participated in last term was “Operation Art”, an initiative of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in association with the New South Wales Department of Education. The Operation Art Program provides a forum for schools and students to demonstrate their visual arts achievements through exhibitions at the Armory Gallery, Sydney Olympic Park and the Art Gallery of New South Wales and it also brings happiness to the children at Westmead Childrens Hospital https://www.artsunit.nsw.edu.au/visual-

arts/operation-art-2017 Emily Choi (Year 8) entered in the Operation Art 2017 Touring Exhibition. Her work was one of 50 from thousands of entries to be selected to be hung at The Art Gallery of NSW from 12 – 23 April 2017 and then it will be given to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead to become part of their permanent collection. Emily is a keen art student who has attended Art from the Heart with Mrs Kallinikos throughout her junior years at TIGS and she continues to study art with Ms Colville.

She has participated in this competition over several years and was very excited to be selected this year.

We congratulate Emily on her selection and on the presentation of a special certificate awarded to her at the Art Gallery and look forward to her future achievements in Visual Arts.

Over the break, Alex Saddi (Year 10), received the Australian Scout Medallion, which is the top award in the Scout section within Australia and awarded to only the top 5% of Scouts in the country. Alex is a member of the 1st Bulli Scout Troop and he earned his award as a Patrol Leader who displayed outstanding leadership, organisation and drive along with high-level practical scouting knowledge and skills. Of particular note, Alex organised a group of volunteers from the Sandon Point Surf Life Saving Club and Scouts to restore the gardens and surrounds of the surf club. Congratulations to Alex for his commitment to the Scouts.

Also during the Easter break, Daniel Michelmore represented the School and the Illawarra region at the National UN Youth Voice competition in Hobart.

This was a transformational experience for Daniel, his performance and achievement at this national event was extraordinary. He researched and spoke about two important topic areas: “How can we ensure that all Australians have access to adequate health services?” and “How can we create a fairer justice system for disadvantaged Australians?”.

Congratulations Daniel.

SENIOR SCHOOL SPORT

AICES Swimming

On Thursday 30 March, TIGS took 24 students to represent NASSA at the AICES Swimming Championships. Our students produced some wonderful results in the water as a team. Last year we looked to our girls for the points and this year it was the boy’s turn to help out TIGS Swim Team and maintain the winning culture in the pool. Overall TIGS came away with the most medals. In the team point score our boys came first and the girls came fourth. It was pleasing to see this year that every age group in the relays progressed onto swimming at the NSW CIS Championships.

A very big thank you to Mr Edgerton, our bus driver, and Mrs Lane for coordinating the events for the team.

Surfing

On Monday 3 April, TIGS students Joseph Druett (Year 9), Finley McLaren (Year 10), Tahlia Collinge (Year 9), Riley Hanlon (Year 10), Billy Fisher (Year 12) and Michaela McGrath (Year 12), represented the school at the South Coast All Schools Surfing Championships at Mollymook Beach.

The championships, held each year, are open to all South Coast schools and are a qualifying event for the State Championships held later in the year. After surfing well against tough opposition, Billy, Riley and Joseph narrowly missed out on progressing to the finals. Tahlia (Juniors) and Michaela (Seniors) made the final five in their respective divisions and Finley won the Junior Male Division and qualified for the State Championships, a fantastic achievement!
