St George’s Anglican Grammar School; an exciting, innovative co-educational secondary school based in a high-rise building in the Perth CBD. The School caters for local and international students in Years 7-12, and is a proud member of the Anglican Schools Commission network of schools in Western Australia. We are committed to child safety and protection, and expect all staff, volunteers, visitors to the School and contractors to respect and abide by all policies, procedures and practices developed and put in place by the Anglican Schools Commission (ASC) and/or the School in this regard.

From the Principal Tina Campbell

This week we celebrated our Student Guild and all the Year 12 students whom we recognised as being the leaders of our school. The commissioning service offered them and the whole school community advice on finding their own path to success, learning from the inevitable failures and knock backs that they will face, creating personal bests and the many aspects of being a leader that contributes to pursuing a good life. A key message discussed the importance of supporting others in one’s leadership journey. There was indeed a message for everyone. As I sat amongst the sea of red, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for the many positives in my life and for the opportunity to mix with such wonderful students and staff as those at St George’s. But what does gratitude really mean? The word gratitude is derived from the Latin word ‘gratia’, which means grace, graciousness or gratefulness. Gratitude is one of many positive emotions. It is about focusing on what’s good in our lives and being thankful for the many positives we experience each day. Gratitude is about pausing to notice and appreciate the things that we often take for granted and acknowledging these things within our lives. We should appreciate and be thankful for having a place to live, food on the table, clean water to drink, friends and family to support us, a democratic society in which we have a voice, an education system that promotes education for all and our own school, and the vast array of opportunities that we possess as students and staff here. We even need to be thankful for the

technological access that we rely upon in today’s fast track society. Feeling gratitude connects us to something much bigger than ourselves, whether that be to other people, to the beauty of nature or for many of us as Christians, to God. As I sat in the cathedral, I certainly felt my own inner connection to God and the importance of my Christian faith in supporting me to lead a good life for which I am grateful. I hope that some of the students felt this connection too. Gratitude is a word that is used regularly within modern society and pops up frequently in a variety of social media posts. We are consistently encouraged to stop and notice the many things for which we should feel grateful. In positive psychology, research has shown that gratitude helps us to experience more positive emotions. It can be associated with greater happiness, linked to improved mental health, helps us to deal more effectively with adversity, and assists us in building stronger relationships and connections with those around us. Gratitude enhances our overall wellbeing and frequently leads to a greater sense of optimism and hope. It can be applied to being thankful for things in our past, our present and our future. Gratitude can indeed help to change your life as it forces you to appreciate and refocus on what you have rather than on what you do not. Scientific findings support the concept of gratitude as an important tool to help us to achieve a better sense of equilibrium and wellbeing within our lives. Two psychologists, Dr. Robert A. Emmons and Dr. Michaele E. McCullogh, have undertaken much research and study into the importance and impact of gratitude. They support the work of another leading researcher, Dr. Martin E.P. Seligman who has demonstrated the direct association between gratitude and an individual’s positive wellbeing. It is interesting to note that both St George’s Anglican Grammar School Newsletter

in giving and receiving gratitude, we trigger a release of dopamine and serotonin within our brains. These two crucial neurotransmitters are responsible for our emotions that assist us to ‘feel good’ and enhance our mood immediately, making us feel happy. On a global scale Western Australians have much to be grateful for, yet like meditation, gratitude needs to be practised. We are encouraged to find time each day to reflect and notice the many good things in our lives, to seek them out daily, to savour, cherish and celebrate them, to pay attention to how these things make us feel and to appreciate them deeply. We can express gratitude, by writing down the things for which we are grateful or by thanking someone for the positivity they bring to our lives. Today there are a variety of Apps and blogs that equally assist us to celebrate gratitude. Perhaps as a family you discuss the things you are grateful for daily, or you have written a letter of gratitude to someone who has made a difference in your life or like me you have a gratitude journal in which you might write each night as a mantra to conclude the day. Practising gratitude certainly magnifies positive feelings and gradually over time becomes a positive practice for us each day. The key is to retain our sense of gratitude throughout the highs and lows of our lives. I challenge you to make gratitude something that you focus on in your own lives; three things each day quickly become a very worthwhile habit in seeking to lead a good life.

Today, as Principal of St George’s I am immensely grateful for: 1. The ability to celebrate the commissioning of our Year 12 students and the Student Guild in St. George’s Cathedral as a school community. 2. The musical talents of Electrocity, who performed at The Actors’ Hub recently to a packed auditorium. 3. The many opportunities presented to the St George’s students and the efforts of the outstanding staff to ensure the curriculum and co-curricular pursuits are broad and diverse. I am especially grateful for the swimmers representing us today at the ASC swimming carnival, the Year 7 students who are busily preparing for their camp next week, the support by the whole school community for the World’s Greatest Shave which has seen our target reached with $5,846 as of today and the drama students earnestly rehearsing at weekends and afterschool for the School of Rock production which opens at the State Theatre on Thursday 20 May. It is indeed a joy to come to work each day and be a part of this vibrant city school; for your part in this story, I am grateful. Warmest wishes,

Tina Campbell Principal

Uniform for Term 2 and Term 3 While we luxuriate in the balmy weather feeling as if we could be on a tropical island, the colder weather approaches. This mean that full winter uniform is required for Terms Two and Three. Now is a good time to check that all is in good order and search for the ties that seem to have an uncanny knack of disappearing! Almost half a year has gone by since the winter uniforms last saw the light of day, which means that they may not fit our growing students. Make sure that the hems of skirts touch the kneecap, and that trousers are the correct length too. A reminder that our distinctive red blazers are compulsory with the winter uniform. Inside the school buildings, students may wear their blazers, their red school jumper, vest or cardigan. I highly recommend the school scarf, a soft and cosy addition to the uniform.

walking between the buildings at the same time, they will be there to support students too. There will also be additional devices set up for the increased number of students using the electronic tag in and tag out facility. Of course, teachers will still do the attendance on SEQTA. If you are a parent or guardian of a Year 10 student, please could you check your emails for the notification and submit your response by Friday 26 March which gives your permission for your child to walk unaccompanied between school campuses. Upcoming events

Next week is jam packed with events for students, families and friends. Camps Our School will be quieter and emptier from Monday 22 March to Wednesday 24 March when the Year 7s and their accompanying teachers go on camp. What a wonderful group of young people you are! We will miss the buzz of your conversations and happy faces while you are enjoying the Swan Valley Adventure Centre.

Year 10 movement to CQU From Term 2, the Year 10 students will be going between 50 William Street and the CQU campus at 10 William Street on their own. They students have proved to be responsible, so we are confident that like the Year 11 and Year 12 students, they will manage The Year 7s are not the only ones going on a camp; the ATAR and General Biology students on their own.

and their teachers are away for two days camping in the Perth Hills from 30 March to 31 March as part of their course. Gandhi Charity Week starts on Monday 22 March with a House Chapel and ends on Friday 26 March with the traditional Colour Run. The Head of Gandhi, Mr Quan, and his helpers have organised a great event to raise money for The Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund and the Wooraloo and Hills Bushfire Appeal. The colourful event will be held at James Michener Park on the South Perth Foreshore. A $10 donation is required for each student who wants to participate.Visitors are warmly welcomed. Instead of the usual “On the Roof” Concert this term, Mr Newton, Mr Davy and the musicians are taking the sound equipment, musical instruments and themselves to Yagan Square for “Sounds at Sunset” on Thursday, 25 March. Our drama students have been using the space for rehearsals and experimental theatre, now it is the turn of the musicians to take their performances out into the city too. If you missed the amazing Electrocity Ensemble’s Fringe Festival performances, this is another opportunity to enjoy the talent of even more students. Not only do we have the Gandhi House Colour Run on Friday 26 March, the Year 10, 11 and 12 students have their River Cruise too. This is a much anticipated event cruising the Swan Estuary with an excellent DJ, good food and friends. Students need to have purchased tickets for the River Cruise and should have let Mr Quan know about any dietary requirements.

Parent Teacher Interviews are on Wednesday 31 March from 1:30 pm to 6:30 pm.You will soon receive notification of when the bookings for interviews open. It is always good to meet parents and guardians as we work together in the education of our students.

A reminder that Homework Club is on every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. English/or Humanities teachers are available on Tuesdays, and Maths and Science teachers on Thursdays. However, some of us have been known to bravely attempt another subject and succeed! This Tuesday I helped a Year 7 student with her maths. The years peeled away, and we managed angles with confidence and aplomb. I am not sure who was the more surprised. It reminds me of a maths relief lesson last year where I taught students how to solve quadratic equations. An English teacher who can do maths? Granted it was Year 9 maths, and I could end the lesson with an Eddie Woo YouTube video to make sure that we had all understood what a quadratic equation is. It’s true, English teachers do rely on videos! One more significant event for this term is one that needs no reminder. Students finish school at 3:30 pm on Thursday 1 April. As we end the season of Lent and glory in the risen Christ this Easter, I pray that you travel safely, rest well and enjoy some quality family time together.

Interim Reports and Year 7-12 Parent Teacher Meetings Interim reports for your child’s Term 1 progress will be available to our St George’s families through SEQTA on Monday 29 March. These reports provide a snapshot of your daughter/son’s application throughout Term 1 and indicate areas for improvement. They are great starting point for discussion with your daughter/son’s teachers at the Parent Teacher Meetings, which will be held on Wednesday 31 March between 1.30 pm and 6.30 pm. Where possible, we encourage all our parents and carers to attend this evening. Attending such events sends such a significant message to your daughters/sons: their education is very important to us all. If you are unable to attend, please contact your daughter/son’s teachers directly to organise an alternative meeting time or a phone call. Year 12 Important Dates Thursday 1 April is the last date for changes in enrolments in ATAR, General or VET courses for Year 12 students. After this date, no further changes (except withdrawal from a subjects) will be accepted. Mindset, Support and Strategy Throughout this term, I have been meeting with Year 10, 11 and 12 students to discuss success and what that looks like for each of us. Angela Duckworth, a leader in positive psychology refers to three pillars of mindset, support and strategy to show how students can succeed academically. She contends that character is as important as IQ and that every student can 5

achieve success with the right mindset, support and strategy. One of the strategies that we can encourage our students to implement is the ABCD Planning Process. For this process, students outline their current reality, their SMART Goal, the process to get them there, and how they plan to measure their success. A. Reality - What is my Current Reality (Grade, Strengths, Weaknesses)? B. Goal - What is my Vision and SMART Goal? C. Process - What events need to happen to reach B? D. Checklist - How am I measuring my success? Use Mathematics as an example, I showed the students the following model: A. Current Reality – “C” Grade Overall for Math Semester 2, 2020 B. SMART Goal – “A” Grade Overall for Math Semester 1, 2021 C. Process – What needs to happen to reach B? i) Keep up to date with all classwork and homework ii) Practise more questions iii) Ask questions in class/Ensure you understand everything covered in class iv) Read additional Math textbooks/resources D. Checklist – How am I measuring the events? i) Comprehensive notes ii) 50 correctly answered questions per week iii) Read additional pages per week of the Math textbook iv) A Grade in Semester 1 Report It is important that our students realise the following in order to achieve their personal best in school, not only for maths but in every subject: • Understand that success is Engineered and Created St George’s Anglican Grammar School Newsletter

• Understand that success is found upon Strategy, Mindset and Support • Maximise Class Engagement • Create a Study Notebook for every Subject • Practise as many questions as possible!

What are you excited about for 2021? I am so excited to join a family-oriented community and to be able to see how we can explore maths using the city’s resources.

Meet the Team Using Maths as an example for the ABCD process, it seems like an opportune moment for me to introduce the last of our new staff, Mr Anthony Bochrinis and Mr Paul Smith.

Mr Paul Smith – Mathematics Teacher What do you teach? I teach 8-11 mathematics (Methods and Specialist to Year 11s) How long have you been teaching? I’ve been teaching since 2010. What made you become a teacher? I’ve always had a hankering to explain to others what I had learnt. Love it when I see the “penny drop” in a student’s understanding. What’s the best thing about teaching? I consider it a privilege to be able to positively input into a young life in more than just an academic way. What are you excited about for 2021? Excited to see the school grow in academic rigour and to become part of the school community. Hoping to make a difference to students’ grasp of mathematical concepts they may have previously struggled with. Would love to see all students fluent in their times table so they are not disadvantaged in their learning of this important subject.

Mr Anthony Bochrinis – Head of Mathematics What do you teach? I am honoured to join St. George’s as Head of Maths and will be teaching a range of maths classes between years 9 and 12 this year. I also minor in Economics and business and would relish the chance to broaden my classes in years to come! How long have you been teaching? This is my fourth year of teaching and St. George’s is my second school. What made you become a teacher? After initially studying to become an actuary and having a short term in working as an investment banker, I realised that my calling isn’t in pure maths - it’s in teaching it to others. So, I made the decision to change career paths after six months working in the city and haven’t looked back since. It’s the best decision that Hoping to get some good games of chess in I’ve ever made and I’m so happy that I get to with students and develop friendships with live my dream job every single day. staff. What’s the best thing about teaching? I absolutely love seeing the “a-ha” moments in students’ eyes when they fully understand a Victoria Kelleher topic. It is by far the most satisfying feeling that Head of Curriculum teachers can feel. 6

Week 7 Parent Guest Speaker This session was an eyeopener to the online world and what children are exposed to. Our guest speaker, Mr Paul Litherland, focused on how students can remain safe while online and creating awareness around the different Apps students are using, some known and some unknown to parents.

of the fastest-growing Apps amongst students, and it’s the one that puts children at the most significant risk.

Omegle The Omegle -Talk to stranger app is immensely popular amongst youngsters and teenagers. It is a free website that pairs random strangers and allows them to socialise without any registration. Omegle Random Video Chat is a more secretive version of a dating platform. Students can have live video chats with strangers at any time. The biggest parental concern about a child’s safety on Omegle is its lack of age restriction policy. A mere warning at the welcome screen is all Omegle is offering in terms of safety guidelines.

It was an insightful discussion, and I will highlight a few key points from his talk and end with a safety App he recommends. Top 10 Apps used in Australia: 1. Facebook 2. Youtube 3. Instagram 4. WhatsApp 5. Snapchat 6. TikTok 7. Discord 8. Tumblr 9. Omegle 10. iMessage Many safety tips were provided for each App, along with the pros and cons. One App that stood out for everyone was Omegle. This is one 7

It should be noted that Omegle states the minimum age of the user should be 13, and it suggests youngsters and teenagers under 18 should use the App with their parent’s permission. In addition, it’s free, and no registration makes it difficult to identify real or fake users. With the onset of COVID19, a vast number of students are using the site as a chat option with their mates. However, the site is not what many expect it to be. • Omegle is used by a large number of people seeking sexual contact with other cam users. • Omegle is one of the most popular sites being used by online predators and scammers.

The App is easy to navigate and offers endless resources of assistance explicitly designed to assist parents in staying informed. Beacon’s unique features are headlined by an interactive feature that supports parents to create their tailor-made online agreement with their children to encourage and enable healthy online behaviours around screen time, expectations and boundaries. If parents can become more familiar with the playgrounds their kids are entering, then this will go a long way in achieving that goal. Beacon is a fantastic tool that will assist significantly in meeting those challenges.

The Year 12 Psychology students are off to Perth Zoo. They will be joining up with La Salle College and learning how zookeepers use operant and behavioural conditioning to help manage and care for the zoo animals. It was a glorious day to be out and about, and we are sure the students and Mrs McCann had a wonderful time. Our Year 9 students headed to Canning River, and the EcoEducation Centre on Friday, accompanied by Mr Lim, Mrs McCann and Mr Hatton. This excursion provided hands-on experiences with students sampling macro invertebrates, observing fauna and learning about the impact of urbanisation on our river systems. We also enjoy capturing our students learning the skills required to operate safely and effectively in a laboratory. The Year 12 Chemistry students have been conducting titrations, determining pH of different household substances and linking those skills to their work on Acids and Bases. Next term will see the return of the Big Science Competition! Now in its 35th year, the Big Science Competition can provide op9

Preparation is the key and our ACC competitors having been training hard and are ready and raring to go for the 2021 F-Division ACC Swimming Carnival. Last Friday after school, the team went to Terry Tyzack Pool in Inglewood to participate in a practice Swim Meet with John Septimus Roe and Mercy College. This is such a beneficial exercise as it puts students in a competitive environment where those nervous feelings arise on the start block. Swimmers need to ensure they are ready and not fiddling around with their cap and googles. Every point counts and it is crucial that individual swimmers are switched on and prepared to compete, particularly in the relays. This is often where final placement is decided, we can also earn the most points, so we need to ensure we have no disqualifications. The ACC provide a live stream through a private YouTube link which enables you to watch the Carnival back at School, in your office or home. If you would like to follow the action here is the link: LIVE STREAM: https://bit.ly/3bXlVTy

From the School Chaplain The Reverend Sarah Stapleton

This week we gathered in the Cathedral to formally commission our guild. Each guild member promised to lead the student body in a way that demonstrates truth, integrity and service while upholding the traditions and values of the school. It was quite a big promise to make! On our school crest are the words Wisdom, Grace and Service, and this week I have taken time to ponder how we might live up to such aspirational words. How do we achieve wisdom? Which class do we take for that? Grace is another thing entirely – thankfully in this case it has lest to do with swishing through a room without knocking over furniture (good news for the clumsy, myself in particular!) but again, how do we obtain grace?

into their new roles in the St George’s Anglican Grammar School community. I pray that they have the grace to fulfill their roles with joy and enthusiasm, that they will have the wisdom to listen to and learn from the students they lead, and that they will be encouraged to serve and be served by the community that has chosen and serves them.

Reverend Sarah Stapleton School Chaplain

Service is easy, right? We just get out there and do things for others. But we cannot serve everybody, it is a technical impossibility, which will leave us all exhausted if we try to attempt it. So how do we choose to be of service to? For me as a Christian, looking to serve and inspire a Christian community, the answer lies in God, in communion with the community that holds us all together. As Father, Son and Holy Spirit, God shows us how to exist in a place where wisdom, grace, and service are freely given and eternally generated. All we need to do is take a leap of faith and join in. This week we welcomed Cosette, Charles, Kate, Daniel, Benedict, Meghan, and Alan 13

ART HAPPENINGS currently anchored off shore for maintenance on the WA horizon. 2021 Sculpture by the Sea Cottesloe Beach 2021 On a perfect autumnal day last week, the Year 10 Visual Art students and staff enjoyed a whole day of art immersion whilst visiting Sculpture by the Sea at Cottesloe Beach. Beginning the excursion with a guided tour and specialist artist talks, students gained an insight into the concepts behind two works in particular. German architect and artist Henning Meeves presented his collaborative work Between Rocks. He provided an enthralling thesis with thought provoking inquiry into the artworks cultural background. He also explained a range of perspectives that were embedded within this intriguing art piece. French artist Monia Allegre discussed her work Drilling for Fame. This work is a large ceramic sculpture that coincidentally reflects the actual rig: the Ocean Monarch, which is

After the presentations, students completed the tour of the remainder of this year’s sculptures placed on the concourse, walkways and beach. A picnic lunch prior to drawing studies was enjoyed on the grass. Before heading back to school, students participated in an in-depth visual analysis of one of the sculptural works. It was a highly productive and rewarding day where everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy the learning experience. Students were ready to return to the classroom to apply the knowledge gleaned from the day.
