HEADMASTER

Mr Stephen Kinsella Headmaster What a fantastic time of year for our students.

I could say it is fantastic because the hard work of our students is being acknowledged through Half-yearly Reports and Parent/Teacher Interviews. I am just signing off on the last reports and I’m very impressed by the progress our students are making and the advice teachers are providing so that they can achieve further improvement. Whether a student is at the top of the class or working hard to improve, all students at TIGS have the opportunity to be extended in their learning. Reporting time provides a great opportunity to celebrate achievement and to encourage further improvement.

But is this sufficient to attract the description of being a ‘fantastic time of year’? I doubt it. In years to come I cannot imagine our students telling their children and grandchildren about their Half-yearly Report in 2017 - no matter how good it was.

However, their recollection of the 2017 production of Mary Poppins is another matter altogether. TIGS has a proud tradition of presenting high quality musicals at a level beyond what is expected from a school production. Recent musicals include, The Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast, The Secret Garden, Les Miserables, West Side Story and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Mary Poppins shows our students at their best.

50 students on stage supported by 25 students in the orchestra, 20 Entertainment students helping in the technical side back-stage and 20 students assisting with make-up and costuming all contribute to a memorable show.

Students from the Junior School were given a tour of Mary Poppins - backstage by Mr Lanyon and Mr Unwin. They had a glimpse of what is ahead as they progress into the Senior School.

One of the joys of attending a TIGS production each year is watching the skill development of students as they progress from being a member of the ensemble in Year 7 through to a lead character in Year 11 (or even earlier).

The season opened on Wednesday this week and finishes on Saturday evening. Tickets are still available online or at the door for each performance – we never sell-out, we just bring in more chairs. Please encourage our students by attending.

Congratulations are also in order for our students who represented TIGS at the international CmPS (Community Problem Solving) completion in the USA. Samuel Aubin and Lara Papadimitriou participated in the individual competition while Andrea Avenido represented her team mates Cecilia Arsenovic and Cailey Sharp in the middle team competition. Andrea’s team placed an admirable 4th. Samuel Aubin, who produced an App that provides information on the likelihood of shark attack for surfers, not only won his section, but did so in a history-making manner. Mrs Burton, our CmPS coordinator, has advised me that “Samuel won Grand Champion in his age division, beating teams as well as the other individuals. He received 100% from all 18 independent evaluators to name him Grand Champion which is an unprecedented score in the competition’s history.”

We are incredibly proud of all their achievements. Congratulations to the students and their teacher Mrs Burton.

What a great way to finish the term.

115 students in total, working together, collaborating in the use of their talents, developing leadership skills, all brightening the world of those that they entertain – these are experiences that prepare our students well for life beyond the years of schooling.

CHAPLAIN

Rev. James Rogers Chaplain Reasonable Belief Last week I was invited to speak to our Year 9 Philosophy class on the topic of epistemology. Put simply, epistemology is the study of knowledge.

Specifically, it is concerned with the matter of certainty in knowledge. It asks questions like: How do we attain true knowledge of something? What are appropriate methods of investigation? How can we be certain that what we think we know is true?

At the time of the Enlightenment (c. 17th-18th century) a significant epistemological shift occurred. There was a movement away from confidence in revealed knowledge (such as Scripture) towards a reliance upon reason and empiricism for our understanding of the world.

Reason relies on the power of the human mind and the disciplines of logic to arrive at truth.

The architect of its revival in modern times was Rene Descartes. His now famous dictum - I think, therefore I am – changed the course of philosophical enquiry. Descartes arrived at this proposition via the path of extreme doubt. In the process of doubting all things he realised that to doubt he needed at least to think. Reason for him became the only sure foundation upon which to build knowledge.

The age of the Enlightenment also saw the birth of modern science. Empiricism was the term given to the acquisition of knowledge through the senses.

What was discovered through the senses was put to rigorous testing. Thus scientific method was born. It immediately began to produce results and continues to do so today.

There is much to celebrate about the advancements made during the time of the Enlightenment. Science and technology has delivered great results for us in every area of life.

Its achievement cannot be denied. But there is a shadow-side. At the time of the Enlightenment a divide was made between faith and reason.

Faith was relegated to the realm of myth. It was given the status of opinion. One believed without good reasons. Faith did not deliver the same ‘hard truths’ as science. It was anti-reason.

But this divide presents a false dichotomy. Faith as it is defined in the Bible is never a leap into the unknown. On the contrary, the faith promoted by the Bible is a trust based on reasonable supports.

It is justified belief. I could give many examples but two will have to suffice.

In his first letter, the Apostle John talks about the public manifestation of the eternal God in the person of Jesus Christ. He claims to have had empirical knowledge of this. His invitation to us to trust in Jesus is based upon this hard evidence.

Listen to how he puts it: “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us.” (1 John 1.1-3) John does not call us to have faith in faith. He calls us to trust in the one he has empirically tested.

There is a great difference.

A similar appeal is made by the Apostle Paul with respect to the resurrection of Jesus. He saw the resurrected Jesus and reported what he saw.

He also referred to over five hundred others who saw Jesus on separate occasions. Paul puts his own reputation on the line by effectively inviting his doubters to check his testimony against the testimony of the many others who saw what he saw (see 1 Corinthians 15.3-8). It’s the stuff of investigative journalism; hardly a call to believe without reasonable supports.

This is the faith that the Bible endorses. It is justified belief, not the caricature which was born at the time of the Enlightenment.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

Mrs Judi Nealy Deputy Headmaster, Head of Junior School Another Busy Week in the Junior School

Thank you to all our school families who participated in the Donut Drive and Slipper Day to raise funds for homelessness in the Illawarra.

I was privileged to learn more about how St Vincent de Paul uses funds raised to support those impacted by homelessness in the Illawarra. We will put this knowledge to good use during the exhibition where we frequently have groups looking into this issue.

Intellectual Humility

as teachers, parents, and learners we can develop these virtues for ourselves and for the children.

As Phillip Dow states, the development of intellectual character produces increased knowledge which consistently results in positive change in our lives.

Ignorance, rather than being bliss, usually leads to suffering - consider the hiker who didn’t pay attention to the map, or the person who ignored the instructions regarding medication. In contrast the knowledge that comes from intellectual character can decrease suffering as well as increase our enjoyment of the world. “ ...as the saying goes, ‘ the eye sees what the mind knows’. In other words, our experience of the world around us will only be as rich and textured as the knowledge we have about the world.” (Dow. P. 2013 Virtuous Minds, pg 82.)

What does it mean to be humble in the way we think?

CS Lewis observed that for many, humility means “pretty women trying to believe they are ugly and clever men trying to think they are fools” (Dow. P. 2013 Virtuous Minds, pg 70.) Of course, this type of humility is false. So, what are we looking for in intellectual humility and why?

HICES CHESS TOURNAMENT

Authentic humility is simply “an attempt to see ourselves as we really are” (Dow. P. 2013 Virtuous Minds, pg 70.) So, when applied to our thinking this means that we are honest in evaluating our intellectual strengths and limitations.

Our team was represented by Adi Kumaresan (Captain/Board 1), Louis Zhang (Board 2), Angus Kiang (Board 3), and James Gardner (Board 4).

So, as we look back over this terms teachings about intellectual character development, I want us all to be reminded of the virtues we have investigated: courage, carefulness, tenacity, fair-mindedness, curiosity, honesty and humility and to consider how

While it was still dark, a group of four keen Chess players set off for Penrith Anglican College to compete in the HICES Chess Tournament.

Games started at 8.30am and a total of seven games were played against teams from Penrith Anglican, Blue Mountains Grammar, St Lukes, Pittwater House, and Redlands.

To our delight, at the end of the tournament we had amassed 19 points which placed us in clear second place. We were unable to match it with Blue Mountains Grammar who were exceptionally good and took first place.

In addition to playing chess, it was interesting to see another school and to learn that their site challenges include over-friendly kangaroos able to jump fences of any height and black snakes with no consideration for human needs! It was a long and tiring day but very worthwhile, not just for the competition but to meet other like minded students.

SENIOR SCHOOL

Mr Greg Lanyon Head of Senior School School Captains Trivia Night

As part of the School’s community service program, it has been a tradition for Year 12 to support a charity of their choice in their final year at School. This year, under the leaderships of the School Captains, Robert Martin, Mia Whitehall, Meena Jasmin, and Nathan Troiani, the Year 12 cohort have been working tirelessly to support a local charity, the Wollongong Homeless Hub. Opened in October 2013, The Wollongong Homeless Hub is a one-stop-shop for homelessness resources.

Clients can access multiple agencies from a single point. Computers, photocopiers, fax machines and telephones are offered free of charge to people accessing services. Community engagement officers are available for support and other support services are also available to clients. Additionally, they offer a regular craft table for children, and a free haircut day every six weeks. They also provide shower and laundry facilities, and a breakfast daily.

When available, they also offer ‘rough-sleeper’ kits, toiletry and food packages.

Year 12 have held several fundraising events to offer financial support to the Homeless Hub, including cake stalls and sausage sizzles and the most recent, School Captains Trivia Night. The theme for the trivia night this year was Harry Potter. The event was held in the IGC which had been themed beautifully to add to the occasion. It was well supported by the school community, attracting over 200 people and raising over $7000. One aspect which was really encouraging was the number of ex-students in attendance. The event was also well supported by current and past parents, families, friends, and staff.

All students from the Year 12 group were involved in the effort to successfully stage and host such a large event, particularly given that they are not that far away from the Higher School Certificate. A special thanks to all those who helped promote, organise and participate in this important event. In particular, to the drive and determination of the School Captains team and the support of their Deans, Mrs. Burton and Mrs. James. Congratulations to all on their success.

Year 10 Science Excursion to UOW

The following report was written by Minseo Kang, Claire Nguyen and Mary Bul following their science excursion this week to the University of Wollongong.

“Over the course of two days, the Year 10 cohort attended the Medical Physics Laboratories at the University of Wollongong. The excursion was an extension of our current study on Nuclear Reactions where we explored and experimented with the facilities available.

We began the day with an introduction from Senior Lecturer Dr Susanna Guatelli, which was followed

by Professor Roger Lewis’ talk on how Physics is involved in our daily lives. We saw first-hand how Physicists contribute solutions in a broad range of areas from everyday concerns in public health to nuclear power plants. We then took a tour of the campus’ facilities, where we learnt the importance of medical radiation physics and nuclear science in the development of existing and new forms of radiotherapy. This included x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams and CT scans.

Once we finished the tour we conducted an experiment which explored the radioactive decay of Cobalt-60. We were given the opportunity to handle special equipment called a Geiger Muller Tube (GM). The results displayed how radioactive decay is random, which reflected in our findings at school, thus reinforcing our studies.

The highlight of the day was eating sub-zero icecream made using liquid nitrogen which was stored at -196°C! Overall, the day gave us opportunity to gain insight into the world of physics through hands on practical work and research based reports.”

NSW All Schools Interschool Equestrian

Bill Turner Trophy - Girls Football

Congratulations to Niamh Bull (Year 11) and Lucy Koder (Year 8) who competed at NSW All Schools Interschools Equestrian Championships from Thursday 16 June to Sunday 18 June.

Lucy came 4th in the Show Jumping (out of 90 riders), 8th in the Combined Training in the Open Championship Class and came 12th in the Dressage. Niamh came 10th in the Open Working Hunter.

The third round of the Girls Bill Turner Trophy saw TIGS travelling to beautiful Huskisson to play Vincentia High School. The majority of the first half remained scoreless, with both sides having opportunities to score, but unable to put the ball in the back of the net. That changed late in the second half when Vincentia scoring on a fast break against the run of play, giving them a 1-0 lead going into the second half. TIGS was able to equalise early in the second half, following a free kick from Margaux Chauvet that Zoe Dribbus was able to and put past the keeper. Margaux then took the score to 2-1 soon after that with a great goal from outside the 18-yard box. Vincentia levelled the score at 2-2 mid-way through the second half, making for a very tense finish. After a great build-up play from the backs through to the midfield, Margaux scored again to give TIGS a 3-2 lead which they held on to until the final whistle.

TIGS will now meet Holy Spirit College in the South Coast Regional Final. We wish them all the best!

JUNIOR SCHOOL SPORT

The team had trained hard in preparation and performed well on the day in a very strong field of competitors.

However, the real highlight of the day was a visit from Prince Harry on his recent trip!

Congratulations to Cate Giason who placed 3rd in the 9 Years Girls event and Thomas Partland who finished 7th in the 9 Years Boys event. Cate will now compete for CIS at the NSW Championships over the July holidays and Thomas is the first reserve. We wish them well.
