A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life...neither height nor depth nor anything else in all
creation will be able to separate us from the love of God” Rom:8:38
Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the wedding of Matthew and Sarah Deeth at the
beautiful grounds of Mater Dei. Matthew was a member of the 1999 Graduation class of Broughton
and has gone on to undertake work as a journalist. Matthew and Sarah sought to use their
wedding service to remind their guests of the wonderful relationship that we all can have with God
through Christ. They chose the verses from Romans to give us the assurance that through Christ all
barriers to our relationship with God have been removed.
Attending this wedding and catching up with a number of ex-students reminded me again of the high quality of the
Broughton graduate. I was also reminded of how the College can be used as a means for leading present and past
students to accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
It was interesting to note that the verses from Romans were discussed both in my bible study and in my church’s
sermon in the past two weeks. Matthew and Sarah had no idea that the verses in the marriage service were going to be
mentioned in my study or sermon in the same week. Because of this ‘co-incidence’, the verses have been in my
thoughts throughout this week and I have been eager to share them with the College community.
As we approach the Easter season the verses give us an understanding of the reasons behind Jesus’ death and
resurrection. Through his death on the cross, Jesus broke down the barrier between us and God allowing us to gain all
the blessings and grace that God has promised us.
COLLEGE TOURS
Over the past week there have been a number of tours of the College, as part of our Year 7 (2011) and Preparatory –
Kindergarten (2011) Information Activities. These tours have allowed us to showcase the quality of education that
Broughton provides.
A large number of guests on the tours have asked me to pass on how impressed they were with the College. Many
commented on the open spaces of the College, the excellent facilities and resources and the technology that our
students have access to. However, there were two particular aspects of the College that our visitors were most
impressed about and that is the students and the staff.
Parents who joined us on the Year 7 Twilight tours were impressed with the quality of our College Captains and our
Middle School Leadership Team. The way these students presented themselves and shared their passion for Broughton
was a credit to their parents, their teachers and themselves. Similarly, the Junior School Leadership Team took on the
challenge of meeting and talking to parents attending the Prep – Kindergarten tours and showed a high level of
maturity and leadership.
The parents and grandparents who attended the Prep – Kindergarten tours on Monday 22 March were able to visit the
classrooms and witness teachers and their students interacting. Parents have commented on both the positive learning
environment in our classrooms and the way in which staff and students relate.
Parents interested in our Prep – Kindergarten program have an opportunity to take a Twilight Tour of the College
immediately before the Preparatory – Kindergarten (2011) Information Night to be held on Tuesday 30 March 2010.

contacting Mrs Auterson in our Main Administration Office.
PARENTS AS COACHES
At the Parents and Friends meeting this week, Mr Colin Morse (Head of Senior School at Broughton 2000 -2008) gave a
presentation of a program entitled ‘Parents as Coaches’. This program operates on the premise that parents can assist,
guide and coach their children by building a strong relationship with them.
The program believes that parents are the best ‘life coaches’ that their children can have. Through this program parents
build on the skills they have and allows them to develop improved communication with their children. It gives them
strategies to develop leadership qualities in their children.
The program involves workshops over an eight week period which would be held at the College. On-line support
would be available to assist parents to develop their coaching role. The cost of the eight week program is $30 per
family (if one parent attends) or $40 (if two members of the family attend).
Please note this program is suitable for parents of students in both the Secondary School and the Junior School.
Parents who wish to enrol in this program or would like further information may contact the Secondary Office of the
College or email [email protected]
STAFF NEWS

MR NATHAN GILES – GREEN TEACHER AWARD
Mr Giles (Junior School – Year 1) has been nominated for a Green Teacher Award presented by Clean up Australia. Mr
Giles has been the driving force in the College in the area of developing an understanding of Sustainable Education. His
passion in this area is underpinned by his commitment to the responsibility of Christians to be good stewards of the
resources that God has provided.
Mr Giles has shared his knowledge and passion with staff, students and parents through the Junior School S.L.A.T.E.
group. He has also been responsible for obtaining a number of grants for the College including one from Coles which
has enabled us to develop vegetable gardens in Prep and Kindergarten.
Mr Giles and Mr Paul Hollier (Technology Faculty – 2009) have developed the College’s Sustainable Education

Association meeting this week and will be discussed by staff early in Term 2.

CULTURAL VISIT TO HONG KONG AND BEIJING
During the April vacation Mrs Murdoch and I will be travelling with 20 students on a cultural exchange tour to Hong
Kong and Beijing. This tour has been in the planning since 2008 and the students who are travelling are excited as the
final countdown commences.
The itinerary for the tour will include a visit to Saint Too Canaan Christian School in Hong Kong. The College and Saint
Too Canaan have been working towards developing a partnership to allow students from both schools to experience
the richness of a different culture and to understand the diverse opportunities for Christian worship in different
countries. Both schools would like to negotiate ways in which we can combine and undertake a humanitarian project in
China at a future date.
The students travelling with the tour and their parents have asked me to pass on their thanks for the many hours of
work undertaken and the number of meetings that Mrs Murdoch has arranged on their behalf.
I ask that the College community keep the students on this tour in their prayers.
CHINA EXCHANGE STUDENTS – AUGUST 2010

WRITER OF THE WEEK
Our Writer of the Week is Rachael Nieuwenhuis of Year 8 for her imaginative narrative in the Fantasy genre
‘She lay there, quietly panting. Swift had been running far too long and her legs were weak. The forest where she was
hiding had trees so tall that Capricorn’s blood drakes wouldn’t be able to see her.
‘Why am I here?’ she asked herself. ‘Why didn’t I stay home?’
The local dragon had stolen her most prized possession, a necklace. It had a single gem set in the centre of a silver disk.
The disk was intricately carved with serpents and fire-birds, so intricately that the serpents seemed to writhe
menacingly, and the fire-birds burn and flap their wings protectively.
Naturally she had followed the dragon after he had taken it from her. She remembered the stench of old bones and
soot, the dampness of the cave, the dragon’s one silver eye, the other ice-blue. But most of all she remembered his
voice. Speaking in a deep rumbling baritone that shook her to her bones, he had asked why she was there…
