Choosing the Right School Boarding Schools Principally Speaking: Pymble Ladies’ College

Join us to Change The World As a leading school for girls, we believe it is critical to prepare the next generation of young women for the new economy that will define their working lives – the digital economy.

A growing body of research shows that women remain a significant minority in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers and in the scientific fields driving the digital revolution.

Pymble takes an intentional approach to addressing the significant challenges of underrepresentation of girls and women in STEM-related fields, particularly in the technology sector, by offering innovative and engaging programs and opportunities for all girls from Kindergarten through to Year 12.

NEW DATA SCIENCE CURRICULUM IN 2022

GROWTH IN SOFTWARE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Pymble is the first school in Australia to partner with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to offer an Introduction to Data Science course as an elective for students in Years 9, 10 and 11 who wish to learn about data in all its forms and applications. Our outstanding Pymble educators, who were trained by UCLA in preparation for the implementation of the curriculum this year, have also partnered with industry professionals working in the field to give students access to real-world learning, mentors and connections.

Our Software Design and Development (SDD) course inspires students to harness their creativity to design and develop software and programs that can impact their world.

LEADING THE WAY IN ROBOTICS

STEM learning for students in Kindergarten to Year 6 at Pymble includes a comprehensive STEM curriculum for each stage, and an impressive 102 students participating in the co-curricular Robotics program.

Curriculum initiatives range from sequencing and algorithms, to coding and design-and-make projects embedded within Inquiry Units.

Robotics is emerging in schools and academies all over the world. At Pymble, we currently have more than 230 active student roboticists in K-12 who range from girls with aspirations of changing the world through engineering to those who enjoy competing with their friends as a break from other co-curricular commitments. Pymble Robotics teams compete in regional, national and international robotics events, often alongside university teams, and in 2021, a Pymble girl received the Dean’s List Award – the highest achievement a student can attain in Robotics in the world.

As a result of our engaging syllabus, the number of Year 11 students enrolled in SDD doubled in one year. Of our SDD class of 2021, more than 40 per cent of students achieved a Band 6, and 70 per cent of the cohort enrolled into tertiary degrees in Computer Science.

FOCUS ON STEM IN THE JUNIOR SCHOOL (K-6)

The Junior School Science Week in Term 3, which includes a K-6 STEM Creativity Festival, celebrates student voice and leadership, and encourages the involvement of parents as exemplars and learning partners in this space.

Digital Intelligence is just one aspect of a holistic Pymble education designed to nurture our students as compassionate, influential young women with the hearts and minds to change the world. We warmly invite you to learn more about how our Watch Us Change the World Strategic Direction builds Academic, Emotional, Social and Digital Intelligence.

WHAT IS THE REAL COST OF YOUR CHILD’S FUTURE? Education is one of the biggest investments you are likely to make to give your child a head-start in life. Understanding and preparing for the cost of education can make a big difference to the opportunities you can provide your child.

course of a 13-year school period. Secondary school fees are generally higher than for primary.

And spending on older children for school camps and items such as sports equipment and musical instruments tends to increase for many.

For instance, the most prevalent barrier to parents’ choice of high schools for their child is cost.

Once enrolled, the cost of schooling represents a substantial household expense.

Confidence starts with preparation The best way to take control of your child’s future is to plan and save to meet future education costs, and the first step is to create a personalised view of the true cost of your child’s education.

The Futurity Investment Group Planning For Education Index 2021* shows that, depending on a few factors, such as the type of school a child attends, the cost of education could vary from $66,603 to $340,882 for a child starting school in 2021.

You can find the cost of your child’s education using the Futurity Cost of Education Calculator at futurity.me/coe-calculator.

Choosing the R

Pymble Ladies’ College is the largest girls’ school in the southern hemisphere which enables the school to offer more opportunities for its students.

This magazine is your comprehensive guide to non-government schools in NSW and the broad range of learning options they provide. To help you make the right choice for your child’s education, we speak to some of the state’s top educators and compiled information on what to consider when choosing a school for your child.

With hundreds of private schools in Sydney alone, knowing where to start can be difficult for many parents. It is important to be organised in advance to ensure the selection process is as smooth as can be. Your child’s schooling is vital to their future and selecting the right school is a decision that shouldn’t be rushed.

To help with your decision-making process, we have compiled a list of factors to consider.

and weaknesses of your child, you will clearly see that there are specific things that a school must provide for your child to learn most effectively and happily.

Open Days and School Visits Most schools hold at least one open day per year where you will be able to chat with the principal or headmaster, teachers, students, as well as other parents and prospective parents.

Talk to Your Child Before you go out to ask questions and obtain information on various schools, you first need to study your own child.

When you consider the personality traits, strengths

Many schools also offer opportunities for parents to visit during regular school hours. Although much of the information you need in order to make a decision can be found online or in brochures, there are some things, such as playground facilities that you may like to see in person.

School Management and Facilities Do you get a sense that the school focuses on the future? Consider the vision that the school has for its future and whether it seems well managed. See what the principal or headmaster is like. Are they respected by the school community? Do they have good people management skills?

Also, look at the school’s rules. Are they clearly stated, positive and well enforced? Are students encouraged to become involved in leading the school? Are parents encouraged to get involved in helping to develop school policies? What role does the school play in the local community?

What unique facilities and resources does the school possess? Are before or after-school programs

RIGHT school available? In what ways is technology used within the classroom? Is the school currently investing in new facilities that will be in use during your child’s education? Does the school offer external campuses or a sister school? What is the school’s computer policy?

Teachers and Teaching

The Curriculum and Extra-Curricular Activities As Australia’s population becomes increasingly diverse, technologies more sophisticated and the demands of the workplace more complex, independent schools are supplementing the national curriculum framework in a number of different ways.

Does the staff comprise of committed and effective teachers? Examine teacher-student relationships. Is there genuine warmth and respect between teachers and students?

Your first step is to consider the finer points of a school’s curriculum and the skills that its graduates are known for, and whether or not these are in line with your own child’s unique strengths and interests.

Look at the school’s teaching methods and determine whether these are aligned to your child’s talents, strengths and interests. Do the teachers use different types of learning strategies (e.g. auditory, visual and tactile/kinaesthetic) in order to allow the children to maximise their learning style strengths?

You may also like to consider whether cocurricular activities will fit easily into your family’s routine. Do you want your child to have access to community initiatives or overseas travel? Will the school encourage parents to get involved in school excursions? What languages are offered by the school?

If your child has special learning needs, do you need a school with a remedial education program? Does the school provide integration aides and other allied specialists (e.g. speech pathologists, language and literacy experts)?

Academic Performance and Student Life Look at the admission and selection criteria of the school, and whether there are particular subjects where it records its best results. How does it rank against other schools in the area?

Does the school tend to channel children into academic or vocational streams? What are the school’s policies regarding gifted or special needs children? What are the advantages of the school’s size? What are the class sizes? Is there a maximum number of students allowed in each class? Is the school co-ed or single sex? If co-ed, what is the gender balance of classes? How multicultural is the school?

School Values Are the school’s religious and philosophical outlooks and practices the same as your own? How are morals and ethics taught within the school? How do teachers handle bullying? What is the school’s disciplinary policy? Is there a counsellor or nurse on-site?

Two-Way Communication When it comes to making decisions, how do teachers interact with parents and students to get them involved? How will your child’s progress and assessment be reported to you? Is there a Parent Teacher Association? How many parents are active? Does the school rely on only the teacher for delivering lesson plans and homework or is there also a website or some such communication that enables students, and perhaps their parents, to access lesson plans, progress reports and homework tasks?

Costs Does the school offer financial assistance in the form of scholarships or bursaries and could your child qualify? Besides tuition fees, are there other courserelated costs or extra-curricular costs that you may need to consider? Does the school facilitate a carpooling program? Is the school’s location accessible by frequent public transport? Are there safe cycling roads on your route to the school?

Remember, IT’S UP TO YOU The ‘best’ school for your child is generally the one that provides them with a sound education and an environment in which to become a creative, reflective and critical thinker, make friends, feel safe and thrive. The right school is the one that is the right fit for your child. It may not necessarily be the right fit for another child.

It is only when you are armed with knowledge that you can go forth and make an informed and confident choice.

PRINCIPALLY SPEAKING...

WhichSchool? magazine talks to Dr Kate Hadwen, Principal of Pymble Ladies’ College, about how the school equips its students to change the world in a positive and meaningful way.

What is the school’s philosophy and how does it guide you and your staff?

We believe girls can do anything they put their minds to. This drives everything we do and underpins our strategic direction, Watch Us Change the World, which is built on four directional pillars for teaching and learning across Kindergarten to Year 12:

1. Academic Intelligence: Knowledge for a better world.

2. Emotional Intelligence: Empowered to be courageous.

3. Social Intelligence: Diversity as the path to unity.

4. Digital Intelligence: Technologies for an innovative future.

There still is great gender disparity in the world and we want to see girls positioned differently, not only in the workforce but in the way they think about themselves and their abilities, and in the way they approach their lives. We want our girls to be courageous, deep thinkers and adept users of technology. We want them to celebrate diversity in all its forms. We believe these attributes will equip

Principally Speaking...

Pymble girls to change the world in a positive and meaningful way.

How does the school differ from other schools?

Pymble is the largest girls’ school in the southern hemisphere and this scale enables us to offer more opportunities for our students. Our robotics program, for example, has grown to accommodate 235 participants across Years 3 to 12. Students compete at their own level, which ranges from absolute beginners to the number one ranked Australian team in the VEX Robotics World Championships. We have students who go on to become Olympians, those who compete at school carnivals purely for house spirit and girls whose ability levels sit anywhere in between.

A common assumption is that a large school is more impersonal than a smaller school, but the truth is the heart of Pymble grows with its size and scale. We are a proudly diverse and deeply connected family, in which every member is celebrated for who they are and what they bring to our college.

What is the history of the school?

We first opened our doors in 1916 as Presbyterian Ladies’ College, with 40 day girls and 20 boarders.

In 1977, following the amalgamation of most Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches into the Uniting Church in Australia, the college was renamed Pymble Ladies’ College.

Today, Pymble has approximately 2,300 students, including 120 boarders and 22 First Nations scholars.

In what ways has the school evolved since it was established?

Pymble always has been and will continue to be a school for every girl. While we are proud of the excellence we achieve academically, we are an open-entry school with a strong focus on cocurricular sport and activities.

From day one, the college has forged paths for women. One of our foundation students, Marie Byles, went on to become the first woman to qualify as a solicitor in NSW and open her own legal practice in 1929. A more recent graduate,

Chloe Dalton OAM, has founded the Female Athlete Project and is the name and face of the NSW Waratah’s Secondary School Girls Rugby Sevens Competition. We have educated scientists, artists, community leaders, politicians, doctors, lawyers, musicians, entrepreneurs, athletes and countless influential and compassionate women who have gone on to make a meaningful contribution to the world.

Physically, our main campus has evolved from three main buildings to a world-class educational facility on 55 acres with distinct precincts for each learning stage; three boarding houses; a stateof-the-art aquatic and fitness centre; performing arts centre and theatre; multiple sports fields and ovals; and an agriculture plot. Our second campus, Vision Valley at Arcadia, offers an additional 100 acres of space and facilities for outdoor education and residential programs.

We are also about to commence construction of our new Grey House Precinct to provide an early learning centre; additional junior school

classrooms; Kindergarten to Year 12 STEM centre; dedicated dance studio and performance area; health centre for nursing and psychological services; and a larger out of school hours care facility. This will be completed in 2024.

How do you provide support and leadership to your staff?

Being consistent in how I show up every day, regardless of the challenges we’re working through. There’s strength in knowing how your leader will respond and that support structures will be put in place to help your community continue to move forward productively.

There’s a quote from Oprah Winfrey that guides me in all my interactions: “I see you. I hear you.

And what you say means something to me.” You’re not always going to be able to give people the answer they are seeking or sort out their problem, but making everyone in your community feel seen, heard and valued is incredibly important.

How do you encourage wellbeing among your staff and students?

The best way you can encourage wellbeing in staff and students is to be a role model, showing up each day as the best of you, not what’s left of you.

Our whole-school, evidence-based Mind-BodySpirit Framework is designed in alignment with our strategic direction to ensure student wellbeing sits firmly at the centre of all academic, social, emotional and digital learning at Pymble.

Pymble also has a fabulous staff-led wellbeing committee, which provides a range of events, resources and programs supporting the mental and physical health of our staff at all different life stages.

What role do you play in the day-to-day activities of your students?

As principal, there’s a genuine risk of being caught up in the business of running a school and not connecting with your students. I am intentional in setting aside time in my diary to be involved with the girls each day. This varies from meeting Year 7 students in small groups to discuss their transition into the secondary school, to dropping in on classrooms and teaching wellbeing lessons to year groups in the junior school, mentoring senior students, walking around the campus during breaks to chat with the girls, attending assemblies, events, carnivals and sports matches, and having our boarders over for dinner in my home on Sunday nights.

Pymble wants its girls to be courageous, deep thinkers and adept users of technology.

What are some of the challenges faced by teachers in the secondary sector?

All teachers face the challenge of being an educator and psychologist to the students in their care and that’s a huge pressure.

rigorous assessment tool, the results of which were delivered quickly so they could be used meaningfully by educators, then it may be an effective way of gathering data. The reality is we are a long way from that.

Technology has also transformed education in some good and not-so-great ways. There is an expectation for teachers to always be available to answer emails and give feedback to students, for instance. How do we put in place those guardrails so that educators can accomplish the day-to-day demands of teaching and still find the time and space to grow professionally and personally?

That’s another very real challenge.

I understand that summative assessment is necessary and useful, but it should never take the place of formative assessment. Ongoing feedback during the different stages of a learning journey is far more beneficial for all.

What has been your most memorable moment either as a teacher or specifically in the role of principal?

For me, it’s not a single moment or a big event, it’s the ability to impact on the lives of young people. As I reflect on my career as a teacher and principal, I can name students in every year for whom I made a difference. They are the reasons why I became an educator in the first place.

What are your feelings about NAPLAN and its effectiveness?

Formative and summative assessment in education is important. If NAPLAN was a

12. What traits make for an effective and successful leader in education today?

You need to be vulnerable and understand that you’re not the most important person in the room.

Always remember that, while you might conduct the orchestra, without the players there is no orchestra.

You also need to be adaptable, able to change or alter the way your organisation runs to best serve your community. Add to that a healthy dose of resilience. You’re never going to please everybody but that’s not what leadership in education is about. It’s about listening to students and using their voice to make informed and good decisions.

GOING INDEPENDENT Chief Executive of the Association of Independent Schools of NSW, Dr Geoff Newcombe AM, talks about the significant growth in the sector and the reasons why more parents than ever are choosing an independent school.

Enrolments in NSW independent schools have increased significantly over the past decade, making it the state’s fastest growing sector.

•

• More parents than ever are choosing an independent school for their child – and each family’s motivation is as varied as the schools that make up the sector.

Some key statistics include: • In 2021, there were 221,741 students in NSW’s 504 independent schools – an increase of 34,000 since 2014, or nearly 5,000 additional students each year.

Since 2018, two out of every three new students in NSW (69.4%) were enrolled in an independent school.

Growth has been strongest among independent schools serving low to middle income families, which attracted almost 80% of new students in 2021.

Why are parents choosing independent schools in increasing numbers?

According to the most recent School Choice research report by Independent Schools Australia, parents of Independent secondary school students nominated the most important outcomes for their

Dr Geoff Newcombe.

child as being ‘to gain confidence and high selfesteem’ (62%), ‘to be able to think for themselves’ (60%) and ‘to achieve academically’ (57%).

Parents were looking for schools to play a part in their child’s personal development, prepare them for employment and provide skills that will be used throughout life.

Satisfaction was high, with 87% of independent school parents saying they would recommend an independent school to family and friends, while 82% said their school adapted well to the pandemic (with 74% highlighting the quick shift to online or remote learning).

The survey also found that 85% of independent school parents felt the sector gave them the chance to choose a school that shared their values and beliefs.

In 2021, there were 221,741 students in NSW’s 504 independent schools.

16

For parents seeking a faith-based education for their child, the independent sector provides the broadest possible choice with schools reflecting

Australia’s flourishing religious diversity – various Christian schools (Anglican, Catholic, Lutheran, Uniting, Adventist, Presbyterian and Orthodox), as well as Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist and Ananda Marga schools.

There are also schools based on educational philosophies (Steiner and Montessori), international schools (German, Japanese, French), special schools and special assistance schools. Last year, Australia’s first comprehensive school with a musical focus was opened (The Richard Gill School).

The independent sector also caters for families across Australia’s socio-economic spectrum; the median fee charged in NSW Independent schools is around $5,200 per year, with annual fees from under $2,000 to over $25,000.

The most important question, however, remains: “Which school will best suit my child?”

I always encourage parents to do their own research before deciding on a school - start with your child’s needs.

What type of school environment will best suit your child’s aptitudes, strengths and challenges? What level of learning or wellbeing support will they need?

Wisely, most parents ignore the so-called ‘league tables’ and other school rankings published in the media, preferring ‘word of mouth’ which provides more practical guidance.

Look beyond websites and speak with parents about what makes their school unique or outstanding. Some schools have expertise in particular subjects or an outstanding program of extracurricular activities.

Australia has a skills shortage, and many independent schools are building partnerships with businesses to develop pathways for students who want to work or study in vocational fields such as business studies, hospitality, construction, and design.

Parents should also attend open days to inspect a school’s facilities and speak with the principal about what the school offers. Ask about admissions processes, which can vary between schools.

Once you have explored the options, it’s important to trust your instincts and choose the school that left you with the impression that this is where your child belongs and will thrive.

‘ONE OF SYDNEY’S BEST KEPT SECRETS’ What would draw a school principal from a comfortable position in Albury-Wodonga to Sydney, uprooting his family to a whole new city? According to Arden Anglican School’s principal Justin Beckett, who commenced in the role at the start of 2022, it’s because “Arden is different”.

Arden Anglican School Principal, Justin Beckett, commenced in the role in early 2022.

Arden aims to grow and shape healthy and well-adjusted young people.

“When it comes to independent schools in Sydney, Arden might be one of the best kept secrets,” Mr Beckett said. “It is a small school with a big heart, and a big vision for the health of its students.”

He was immediately attracted by the school’s ambition. “The first thing that drew my attention to Arden was the school motto: In God My Joy,” he said.

“I have always believed that the school experience should be joyous. We want our students to be bursting out of bed in the morning because they can’t wait to get to school.

“We want them to be chattering at the dinner table each night about all the exciting things that happened during the school day. The Arden community endeavours to put joy at the front and centre of the student and staff experience.”

Mr Beckett said that the school’s Christian ethos underpinned much of its positive atmosphere: Arden is genuine about being a community of Christian faith. There are many schools that may not ‘walk the walk’ when it comes to Christian faith, but Arden is authentic about Jesus.

“The proof of this is in the quality of our lunchtime student-led Christian groups – at our Secondary

campus, 20-25% of our students choose to engage in our CRU/Vine groups,” he said.

“At a time when young people are saturated with stories of doom and gloom on the news and social media, Arden offers a community of encouragement, hope and peace. Every young person is made in the image of God and built for a life of hope and purpose.”

Mr Beckett was most recently principal of Trinity Anglican College in Albury Wodonga, the largest regional independent school in NSW. He has been an educational leader in several independent schools across Australia, including St Stephen’s School (Perth) and All Saints Anglican School (Gold Coast).

As a boy, he attended Hale School, an Anglican boys’ school in Perth, with his four brothers.

He has completed a Bachelor of Arts in English (Curtin University), a Graduate Diploma of Education (Edith Cowan University), a Master of Arts (University of Western Australia) and, more recently, a Graduate Certificate in Management (Australian Institute of Management). Along with his wife Zoe (also a teacher), he has four sons, three of whom are at Arden while the eldest is studying at university.

After his first year as principal of Arden Anglican

School, Mr Beckett is even more convinced than ever that the school is one of the most excellent institutions he has seen, offering something better than just an education.

“We exist to grow and shape healthy and welladjusted young people. We offer hope for students and opportunities for community and success. We want to equip our girls and boys to think critically about the world and its narratives,” he said.

“We offer an antidote to the messages of hopelessness and victimhood that often permeate the media landscape. As a co-educational school, we believe in nurturing healthy relationships between girls and boys as they grow up. It is healthy and rewarding to be a co-educational school, and a great benefit to parents who can have their sons and daughters in one school community instead of two.”

Arden offers a healthy and caring Christian community from Pre-School to Year 12. The Beecroft campus is ideally suited for students from Pre-school to Year 6. The Epping campus is for students in Years 7-12. Both campuses sit adjacent to a train station so are easy to access by public transport.

REFLECTIONS

ON GARMA

Early this year, the Yothu Yindi Foundation (YYF) invited Barker College to assist with the coordination of the Youth Forum at the 2022 Garma Festival, in recognition of Barker’s partnership with YYF and the Gumatj people of Gunyangara.

20

Students from Barker College, Hornsby travelled to the Northern Territory to visit Dhupuma Barker and attend this rich cultural event.

Barker’s 16 senior students were incredibly effective in their work with the Youth Forum and their contribution to Garma was celebrated by all. They met the Prime Minister, the Minister for Indigenous Australians and the Attorney General at the festival.

They also hosted US Ambassador, Her Excellency Caroline Kennedy, and her partner, Dr Edward Schlossberg. Barker students were in attendance during the Head of Barker’s address at the education forum.

More importantly, they were also in attendance at the main forum when the PM outlined a positive response to the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the pathway to a Referendum on Constitutional Recognition of First Nation Peoples in Australia. This was a momentous experience for all who were in attendance.

Whilst it is a small Indigenous school for Kindergarten-Year 6 students, the work of Dhupuma Barker is playing a role in reshaping not only remote education but the role of independent schools.

“It was inspiring to hear the diverse reflections of students, and how being immersed in Indigenous culture has enabled them to look beyond the school gates, to the incredible work being done in communities to build opportunities and provide choices to First Nations Peoples,” said Mr Phillip Heath, Head of Barker College.

“Our challenge to the 16 students selected for this trip is to carry this experience forth into their own worlds, as leaders, as citizens and to be champions for the rights of Indigenous Australians.”

The word Garma is a Yolngu word meaning twoway learning, and it couldn’t be more apt for the event. The Garma Festival is widely recognised as Australia’s premier Indigenous festival. It is a coming

The theme for this year’s festival was Nhana Nathilyurra, a Yolngu phrase meaning to look ahead towards the future.

together of Yolngu, other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Balanda peoples to discuss key issues, learn together and celebrate Yolngu Culture. The theme for 2022 was Nhana Nathilyurra, a Yolngu phrase meaning to look ahead towards the future.

The festival had three key components all running concurrently – the key forum, the youth forum and cultural events and activities.

The key forum involved First Nations leaders, political leaders and experts in fields of education, health, economics and other key areas discussing issues that are pertinent to First Nations people and our nation as a whole. It was here that PM Anthony Albanese delivered the key address, a pivotal moment in time where he again committed to enshrining an Indigenous voice into the Australian Constitution and announced the proposed question for the referendum. It was both inspiring and humbling for Barker’s students and staff to be there for that moment.

Throughout the four days, cultural workshops and activities were on offer throughout the program.

Barker students and staff learnt weaving, experienced ancient ceremonies, and learnt about Yolngu traditional medicine, stories and language. Every evening the students watched in awe as dancers hit the Bungul ground to perform traditional ceremonial dances. In these highly significant traditional ceremonies, Elders, men, women and children performed ancient dances while senior holders of the Yolngu songlines shared their songs and music.

It was truly a breathtakingly spectacular experience and one that the students and staff will never forget.

Barker College Students at this year’s Garma Festival.

An absolute highlight was to see the Dhupuma Barker students performing at the festival, and watch the friendships and connection develop between the students from Hornsby and the Dhupuma Barker students and staff.

Year 12 Barker student, Charlie, reflected on his experience: “I learned just how much of a privilege it is to be immersed in a culture with such a rich and long history, and it was clear how enjoyable and moving the experience was for everyone at the festival.

“Garma is such an important event because it shows what is possible, and it is my hope that this spirit

of collaboration and two-way learning between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples can be a defining part of the future across our nation.”

Year 12 student, Yue Hun, added: “The experience also demonstrated the vast difference between learning about Indigenous cultures in the classroom compared to learning about Indigenous cultures on country through practical participation, with the latter illustrating the importance of cultural festivals such as Garma to introduce the wider Australian population to this enriching heritage.”

Evan Luc-Tran’s WINNING numbers The McDonald College’s maths champion, Evan Luc-Tran, recently defeated a staggering 308,138 students from 130 countries to place first in Australia – for the second year in a row – and fourth in the world in the Mathletics 2022 World Maths Day competition.

26

The Year 9 student is on a winning streak after winning the inaugural Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee last year. Like all students at The McDonald College, Evan balances his academic studies with his other passions. He aspires to one day become an actor.

“I enjoy being in front of the camera and seeing how things work behind the scenes. While I’ve been lucky to score some great professional gigs, I know that breaking into the industry isn’t easy – so it’s good to know that if I don’t make it, I’ll have other options,” Evan said.

College’, they think of a ballet or dance school. While these are art forms that we are famous for, we also offer all disciplines of performing arts and elite sports – specifically tennis and rhythmic gymnastics,” she said.

Ms Meni Contos, Head of Mathematics said, “We accelerated Evan to Year 11 Extension 1 Maths and while this means he misses some of his classes, he is so self-directed and motivated that he always stays up-to-date with his studies.”

According to Principal Mrs Maxine Kohler, providing options is at the heart of what The McDonald College offers.

“Every day, our students receive up to two hours of performance training integrated into the course of a normal school day. From Kindergarten all the way through to Year 12.

“Many people, when they hear ‘The McDonald

education. Performance to us isn’t just about what happens on-stage or on a court. It is also about performance in the classroom.”

Mrs Kohler said the school is proud of students like Evan, stating he is one of many at the college.

“We know that whatever he chooses to pursue after graduating, he will be successful,” she added.

“If he decides to pursue acting, he might find himself in the company of alumni Ayesha Madon who is currently enjoying global success in the Netflix reboot of Heartbreak High. If he decides to pursue an executive career, he may find himself studying business at Harvard University like Micheal Zhang, who was one of our Elite tennis students.”

Other McDonald alumni include Emma Watkins (the former Yellow Wiggle), who is currently completing her PhD and performing as Emma Memma, as well as Bojana Novakovic, who was this year nominated for a Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress. Elsewhere, Jonas Singer makes a living by whispering ASMR

to more than 2.2 million subscribers on his Youtube channel while studying music at the conservatorium.

And Hollie McKay is an award-winner journalist reporting from the frontlines of warzones, after specialising in dance.

“One of my greatest rewards is seeing our students find their passion. And then seeing them go onto earn success – sometimes in the most surprising of ways,” said Mrs Kohler.

“I also love that many of them stay in touch. They all say the same thing. That they felt ‘lucky’ to have gone to a school where they got to do what they loved every day,” she adds.

Evan agrees: “I love coming here. Everyone at the school is very supportive. I get lots of opportunities to perform at school, and to audition for (and sometimes secure) professional gigs. The staff regularly check in to make sure that I am okay and coping with the extra workload.”

MERIDEN GIRLS

LEAD THE WAY FOR WOMEN IN STEM

Planning experiments, searching for solutions to real-world challenges and representing Australia in the Olympic Games for science students are all in a day’s schoolwork for Meriden girls.

The school provides girls access to world-class STEM facilities, inspiring mentors and myriad opportunities to explore STEM beyond the curriculum – and it shows. By the time a Meriden girl graduates, she has amassed many hours of practical experience in a range of STEM disciplines.

Beyond the subjects that make up the STEM acronym (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), Meriden girls may take subjects including research and critical thinking, forensic science and psychology alongside a range of cocurricular interest groups. At the school, girls participate in STEM subjects at a higher rate than that of girls across the country, and students feel

passionate and prepared to take on STEM subjects following their HSC. In addition, Meriden girls are leading the way in solving real-world problems through creative and critical thinking.

For example, take Year 12 student, Stephanie Cui, who was recently awarded first place in the CSIRO’s Circular Fibres Pitch-a-thon competition with her research proposal that could help reduce the risk of contracting malaria.

Stephanie, who studies Biology and Chemistry at Meriden, took first place for her innovative proposal of adding lemon eucalyptus oil to natural fibres to create a fabric that repels mosquitoes.

Stephanie’s research found that adding lemon eucalyptus oil to fabric is a feasible, environmentallyfriendly alternative to existing insect repellents that can cause dermatitis on the skin and are harmful to aquatic life.

Further extending learning beyond the classroom, Meriden girls are encouraged to participate in external STEM competitions.

After a rigorous year-long selection process that saw over a thousand students from across the country participate, Year 11 student, Jacinta Rees, was selected as one of eight students to represent her country at the 2022 International Earth Science Olympiad, where she won a silver medal.

school, who design and build robots that collect rubbish and 3D-print braille signs to make the community more accessible, to its senior students whose work is making an impact on the way we care for people and the planet, Meriden girls are supported to follow their passions and make their mark.

Their success demonstrates the limitless opportunities for girls in STEM and the impact they can have when provided with the resources, mentors and encouragement to make a difference.

“What fascinates me most about science is that it is a continuous learning process. Science is never finished. We keep building upon our understanding, questioning our assumptions and our own biases. It is this process that appeals to me so much.”

The prestigious international competition tests participants’ knowledge and skills in all major areas of earth sciences, including geology, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography, terrestrial astronomy and environmental science.

“What fascinates me most about science is that it is a continuous learning process. Science is never finished. We keep building upon our understanding, questioning our assumptions and our own biases.

It is this process that appeals to me so much,” said Jacinta.

She is hoping to undertake a career in biomedical engineering following her HSC exams and said participating in the Olympiads has motivated her to achieve her dreams.

“I am finding inspiration from women in science who have paved the way for success in their respective fields. They have shown me that women can have a career in science; it’s not just a dream,” Jacinta said.

Meriden girls are consistently recognised by the Science Teachers’ Association of NSW as some of the state’s most innovative, persistent and thoughtful young scientists.

The organisation’s most recent awards ceremony recognised the work of Year 9 student, Esther Yum, who won third place in the Innovation and Engineering Design Award for her invention, the ‘medispenser’. Esther designed and 3D printed a cost-effective pill dispenser that dispenses a single pill at each use and does not require the user to physically grasp individual pills when taking or refilling their medication.

Esther was inspired to create her pill dispenser after researching the difficulties elderly individuals or sufferers of conditions such as Parkinson’s disease can have when taking small pills.

All Meriden girls are imbued with the delight that comes with pushing the boundaries of possibility.

DEVELOPING EXTRAORDINARY LEARNERS William Clarke College, a Prep-Year 12 Anglican school in Sydney’s Hills District, is preparing its students to not only make great progress at school, but thrive beyond the school gates, having changed the way learning is structured.

Over the past several years, the dedicated staff of William Clarke College have been working towards implementing a new curriculum and its supporting structures in the primary and secondary schools to enable the development of extraordinary learners with a passion to serve others.

Mr Dan Miller, Head of Curriculum at William Clarke College, said these changes are benefitting students, both in the primary and secondary schools. “We know the early years of school are critical for building a firm foundation in literacy and numeracy, and we want to position our students to make great progress in this area,” he said.

“We have strengthened our existing small group approach by strategically investing in extra teaching staff in the primary years to allow students to benefit from learning in small groups,” he continued.

These extra teaching staff, known as Literacy and Numeracy Specialists, work alongside core classroom teachers to enable the college’s small group approach in developing proficiency in literacy and numeracy. By implementing this approach, staff are more able to provide targeted instruction, enhance student engagement, promptly identify gaps in knowledge, foster meaningful one-on-one relationships, collect relevant data, and closely monitor and track student progress.

“In both the primary and secondary schools, the college has also adopted an approach to learning that promotes student agency, voice and choice, called deep learning,” explained Mr Miller.

“To encourage deep learning, where knowledge is not only acquired but applied, we are giving students opportunities to tackle authentic, real-world problems, come up with real-world solutions and present their work to a real-world audience such as their class, school, parents or the broader community.

The college has implemented a new curriculum.

“These learning experiences will help students not only gain a greater depth of knowledge and skill, but also grow in enterprise skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration,

knowledge and skills across the core disciplines like English and Mathematics,” Mr Miller said.

“In Years 9 and 10 students are given the opportunity to explore their passion and strengths, whilst continuing to build skills, knowledge and understanding in key areas.

“In addition to core subjects, students will choose from almost 40 Xplore courses aligned to knowledge, personal interest and future career pathways that range from aeronautics and space exploration, cosmetology, and song writing and sound design to musical theatre, fashion design, film making, psychology and criminology.”

In Years 11 and 12, students choose from a wide variety of courses for their Higher School Certificate.

communication and citizenship. Each project includes a driving question that provokes thinking and inquiry that leads to the exhibition of learning to an audience of value,” continued Mr Miller.

Then finally in Years 11 and 12, Mr Miller said students accelerate on their trajectory to life beyond the college, further developing their skills and choosing from a wide variety of courses as they complete the Higher School Certificate.

Deep learning occurs in three stages in the secondary school – foundation, exploration and acceleration.

“We believe structuring learning in this way will enable our students to develop a sense of agency so that they are responsible for their learning and ultimately, best positioned to experience success at the college and in their life beyond,” he said.

“During the first stage, Years 7 and 8 students build the foundation for deep learning, strengthening their

In the secondary school, the college have also implemented a new daily timetable consisting

of three extended learning blocks rather than a traditional six period day. Many courses also now run for two terms as opposed to the traditional four terms. These structures are designed to give students the time they need for the sustained development of knowledge and enterprise skills.

The college’s new strategic plan aims to focus on monitoring, consolidating and refining its new curriculum initiatives into the fabric of each student’s experience at the college. Teaching staff will continue to spend time in professional learning to develop and facilitate engaging projects and units of work that prioritise the development of deep knowledge and skill acquisition, enterprise skills and Christ-like character virtues.

“Even though the college is in the earliest stages of implementing these initiatives, it has been very encouraging to hear positive feedback from students, teachers and parents who are appreciating and seeing the benefits of many of these changes,” affirmed Mr Miller.

“We look forward to further growth over the coming years as we see this new curriculum bear fruit through the ongoing development of William Clarke College students.”

They delight in the real and the imagined as they explore the environment around them, learning about native plants and animals, growing food, building shelters and going for bush walks.

In the ELC, learning is seen as a journey towards understanding and its educators, collaborators and researchers, have the great privilege of guiding children on that journey. Boys and girls benefit from the focus on educating the whole student, preparing them for a lifelong love of learning. Through the practice of creating contexts for learning, observing, interpreting and documenting, children develop a greater understanding of many concepts. Children are viewed as capable and competent learners, ready to share the pools of experience and unique reflections on life they bring to the school each day.

At KRB, children are encouraged to be curious and investigative in their learning.

For 125 years, Meriden has been providing girls an enriching learning environment that empowers them to achieve their potential. Educating students from PreKindergarten to Year 12, Meriden is one of Sydney’s top-performing independent girls’ schools. We offer a rigorous curriculum, a dynamic pastoral care program and a wide range of sport, music and cocurricular opportunities.

Meriden girls are encouraged to find their voice, become independent thinkers, take responsibility for their learning and make a positive difference to their community.

The size of our school allows us to offer a wide subject choice and countless opportunities beyond the classroom to ensure all our students are able to explore their talents and areas of interest.

A Christian foundation enriches life at Meriden, with every member of the School community encouraged to live out our values of compassion, integrity, courage and respect. When girls graduate from Meriden at the end of Year 12, they take with them the skills and attributes to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Meriden’s diverse and vibrant working environment attracts highly-qualified educational professionals who are leaders in their areas of expertise. Our talented and dedicated staff members keep Meriden at the forefront of girls’ education.

Location and facilities Meriden’s central location, in the heart of Strathfield, makes travelling to the School from all areas of Sydney and surrounding regions convenient and direct. Our students come from local suburbs and from further afield and Meriden has its own fleet of private buses to complement the many public transport routes to the School.

Meriden’s three campuses are located adjacent to one another. Each campus is designed according to the developmental needs of its students to maximise learning.

Their proximity fosters a unique sense of community spirit and school pride across all age groups.

Meriden offers state-of-the-art facilities and specialised learning spaces for Music, Visual Arts, Design and Technology, research and STEM. Collaborative learning spaces promote creativity, teamwork and leadership and students have access to cutting-edge technologies that prepare them for academic growth and the workforce of the future.

The School’s sporting facilities, which include outdoor tennis courts, a swimming pool, gym, outdoor fitness circuit and a fully-equipped multi-purpose sports centre, encourage high rates of participation in physical activity for all students and support the sporting needs of a number of elite young athletes.

A Meriden education Meriden offers a holistic approach to teaching and learning that equips students to become life-long learners. Our curriculum is designed to cater to a range of academic abilities and to prepare girls for success in the HSC. To ignite students’ passion for learning, Meriden prioritises innovation and creativity in the classroom.

Our commitment to small class sizes means teachers know all their students as individuals and can accommodate their specific learning needs. Meriden’s outstanding academic results reflect the success of this approach. Each year, the School ranks among the top independent girls’ schools in NSW in the Higher School Certificate. Our students often rank within the top five placings in their subjects, putting them among the state’s elite academic achievers.

The results of our younger students in external literacy and numeracy testing far surpass the state average and their performance in state-wide individual subject competitions is equally as impressive.

Meriden’s Lateral Learning program intellectually challenges all our students and plays a pivotal role in developing our girls into skilled communicators who are prepared for life beyond school as independent, thoughtful, compassionate and connected global citizens.

Beyond the classroom During their time at Meriden, students are encouraged to immerse themselves in a wide range of experiences to develop a portfolio of achievement in areas including public speaking, debating, the Australian Army Cadets and social justice initiatives. Our cocurricular program is broad and every girl has the opportunity to try new things and find her niche.

Meriden’s thriving Music Department aims to foster a love of music in every student. The School’s many choirs and instrumental groups cater to every music style and level of ability. Our musicians have a myriad of performance opportunities throughout the year to showcase their latest repertoire. Girls with exceptional musical talent may be invited to join the Amadeus Program, which provides specialised support that nurtures each student’s musical development.

Meriden’s highly-regarded sporting program offers a variety of team and individual sports and encourages every girl to care for her physical wellbeing.

The School has a remarkable record of sporting achievement, with Meriden girls having represented Australia in athletics, swimming, water polo, badminton and tennis. The School’s Olympus Program caters to the educational and sporting needs of our elite athletes, supporting them to fulfil their academic and sporting potential.

Encouraging students to give back to the community and care for one another is an integral part of life at Meriden. Our students gain a deep understanding of the importance of making meaningful contributions to the community through their participation in fundraising and community service activities. Every student leaves Meriden with first-hand experience of what it means to be an active and engaged citizen.

Wellbeing at our core At Meriden, each girl is known and her unique contribution to the life of the School is valued. Our multifaceted pastoral care program and the services of the School’s Counselling, Chaplaincy and teaching staff ensure all students have a comprehensive support network that sees them thrive throughout their educational journey.
