Thursday 1 August 2019

Dear Parents and Friends of SGS,

We enjoyed an excellent House Music on Tuesday afternoon. All the

performances demonstrated talent and a great deal of fun. It was

wonderful to have the traditional House activity back on the calendar

in the slightly different format – including Years 3 – 6 and held during

the school day.

The standard of competition was high and the energy around the

school a real joy. I am sure all students from TYC through to Year 12,

as well as those parents, grandparents and friends who attended,

were entertained. A huge thank you to all the staff who lent a hand to

make the day possible, especially the House Patrons, Mr Josh Noble,

Mrs Kat Moore and Mr Dan Garland and the overall organiser Mrs Tori

Saunders. Also thank you to the House Captains who supported the

patrons in the preparation. Pulling House were the winners, adding House Music to their sporting

successes.

We were delighted to share more of what Secondary School is like with parents at the information

evening last Thursday night and with Year 5 & 6 students at the Secondary Experience Day on

Friday. Both of these occasions where well-attended and very positive.

Callum Goodwin represented us at the Australian School Boys Championships in the CIS Team

over the holidays. Callum had good game time and represented very well. The team made the

finals for the first time and had a very successful carnival. Congratulations Callum on this excellent

achievement. Callum is a member of the Elite Performance Pathway for his commitment and ability

in Rugby League. It is wonderful to see him continuing to develop in this area.

In our learning focus this term we are concentrating on Perseverance and encouraging students to

consider the value of getting stuck and having to persevere to resolve a problem, become unstuck

and move on. This is an important disposition of an independent learner. Please join us and

encourage your child or children to try different strategies to get unstuck and not to rely on you to

solve their problems, especially not as the first port of call.

Please pray for the Year 12 students as they commence their Trial HSC Examinations next

Wednesday.

Have a wonderful week.

From the Burrow - Primary News with Mr Saunders

We all remember our favourite teachers from school and the reasons why. Normally it’s based on how they

made you feel as a person and how they made learning experiences fun and unique. For me, it was my Year

1 teacher, Mrs Hill, and my Year 6 teacher, Mrs Campbell. Every day seemed like the best day ever in their

classes.

I want to flip it around and let you know what teachers really love to see from their students. Most teachers

will tell you that they don’t have favourites, but the truth is that there are students who possess certain

characteristics that make them ideal pupils. These students are naturally endearing to teachers, and it is

difficult not to embrace them because they make our job easier.

• They Ask Questions: Good students aren’t afraid to ask questions because they know that if they do

not get a particular concept, it could hurt them later when that skill is expanded.

• They're Hard Workers: Teachers love students who choose to work hard no matter what their level of

intelligence is. The hardest working students will ultimately be the most successful in life.

• They're Involved: Most good students get involved in some kind of extra-curricular activity. These

activities provide so many learning opportunities that a traditional classroom simply can’t.

• They're Motivated: Students who are motivated to learn are easy to teach. They want to be at school,

want to learn, and want to succeed.

• They're Solid Citizens: Teachers will tell you that classes full of students who follow the rules and

procedures have a better chance of maximising their learning potential. Students who are well behaved

are likely to learn more than their counterparts who become student discipline statistics.

• They're Trustworthy: Being trustworthy is a quality that will endear you not only to your teachers but

also to your classmates. No one wants to surround themselves with people whom they ultimately cannot

trust. Teachers love students and classes that they trust because they can give them liberties that often

provide learning opportunities they would not be afforded otherwise.

“Being defeated is often a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent.” –

HRIS DEBATING

This last week I have been struck by the many lessons

that we learnt while on our mission trip to Vanuatu. We

visited some schools and spent time with the Ni-Vanuatu

people.

Each of the students and staff were provided many

opportunities to live out of their ‘comfort zone’. The

phrase ‘comfort zone’ summarises the feeling that we're stepping out of situations where we

feel naturally comfortable.

As I reflect on Jesus’ example, it seems to me that He regularly pushed the boundaries in

His life and did the hardest of things. Yet, there isn't a hint of the anxiety we can often feel

about the idea of doing similarly hard things. This has led me to consider that Jesus

absolutely had a comfort zone - it's just that He took it with Him as He went! Jesus' comfort

zone was His relationship with the Father. Jesus placed His sense of well-being and security

in the hands of God the Father, and moved ahead, secure in the knowledge that the Father

was with Him and that the power of the Holy Spirit was at work through Him.

It seems to me that our problem is that when we seek to ‘step out’ we seek our comfort in

the broken cisterns of this world and its distractions, rather than placing our hope and sense

of security in God alone. And if God is with us, why are we fearful? Is God spurring you

on and challenging you to step out in new ways that you've never done before?

Do you feel inadequate and anxious about it, doubting that it'll go well or

anything will be different?

Please, stop looking at yourself and your circumstances and fix your eyes on the ever-

faithful, ever-present, ever-empowering God. Fix your eyes on Jesus and learn from His

relationship with the Father. When we have a belief and trust in God, through Jesus, God’s

Holy Spirit lives in us; in this way we can take our ‘comfort zone’ with us!

‘Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.’ (1 Peter 5:7)

We have a few students who are great examples of extending comfort zones.

As part of the HICES Debating Competition, there are 4 preliminary rounds. After each debate, the

adjudicator gives 3 points for the best speaker, 2 for second & 1 for third, although these points are

not divulged to the students on the day. These points are tallied up and awards are given to the best

debaters in the Regional Rounds.

Our Hunter region includes teams from Lakes Anglican Grammar School, Central Coast Grammar

School, Newcastle Grammar School, Hunter Valley Grammar School and Bishop Tyrell Anglican College.

Charlie M from Year 5 was a runner up in the Junior section (Years 5 & 6). Sofia E (Year 7) was equal

second and Lexi W, equal first in the Middle section (years 7 & 8).

VANUATU

ZEAL THEATRE

Our Vanuatu Mission Trip members returned home last weekend, ready for Week 2 of this term. This

coming Monday 5 August, the students involved will give an account of their experiences in Vanuatu.

We would like to welcome you to come along and listen to their learnings.

Monday 5 August, St Luke’s Anglican Church, Liverpool Street

(around the corner from Scone Grammar School)

Secondary Chapel service 9am-10:25am | Primary Chapel service 10:45am-12:15pm

Stage 5 Drama students joined students from St Joseph’s to attend a performance and workshop

presented by the Zeal Theatre Company.

Zeal Theatre’s production of King Hit is a play about peer group pressure, teenage rivalries, and what

happens when drugs and alcohol affect judgment and control. The play is performed in the trademark

Zeal style of physical theatre, multi-character acting and a blend of outrageous comedy and thought-

provoking drama.

The following workshop allowed students to develop their own physical and collaborative skills in a

creative and fun environment.

HEAD OF SECONDARY

This week has seen the school start No Tech Tuesday. While I completely understand that

technology is a part of our life now, I also believe that we should be teaching our students

that they can survive without it and that devices are not the only way you can be entertained

or communicate. I had to admit to the students on Tuesday that it was also incredibly hard

for me to keep my phone in my pocket during breaks, but it was also nice to chat with

people who were willing to be engaged in the conversation and not distracted. We will

continue to work with students this term, encouraging them to put their devices away on

Tuesdays.

I also want to congratulate the Year 9 students who helped with Secondary Experience Day

last week. It was lovely to welcome so many guests into our part of the world. The Year 9

students stepped up as guides for the day and some needed to use all their character

strengths to encourage some of the quieter students to participate fully.

It was nice to see the parents who came for Parent Teacher interviews at the start of the

week. The conversations in the rooms all sounded positive and constructive. This is an

important opportunity for parents and staff to communicate about student progress,

however, if you were unable to attend please feel free to contact any staff members you

would like to catch up with.

Next week we have two subject selection nights, Monday night for Year 8 students going

into Year 9 next year and Thursday night for Year 10 students going into Year 11 next year.

I can’t emphasise the importance of these nights enough; unlike most other schools I have

been involved with, our subject lines are not set till well after these nights and I try my

absolute best to give students choices that reflect what they want to do.

The highlight of the week has undoubtedly been House Music. All of the house ensemble

pieces were great, and the small groups were also incredible. Our students showcased their

talents perfectly. It is, however, the solo/duo performers I wish to single out. While I have

no musical talent at all, I am sure it is easier to be lost in the crowd of the whole house. Our

solo/duo performers were four young ladies who had their bravery on display as they got on

the stage and performed for their peers and parents. I know there were some nerves but

none that showed to the audience. Emily T, Bridie O, Sophie G, and Abriana D were my stars

of the day.

Quote of the week -

“You should always discuss the defeats because you can learn much more from failure than

from success.” – Niki Lauda

Have a great week.

TALES FROM THE YELLOW COTTAGE

This week marks the end of Plastic Free July. At The Yellow Cottage we value sustainable practices and

we educate our children and their families on how we can all make a difference to protecting our

planet. Part of the Yellow Cottage’s philosophy is to provide “an enriching indoor and outdoor

environment which is stimulating, flexible, safe and sustainable”.

Over the course of this month we have looked at all the soft plastic rubbish that was collected at TYC.

In one week we collected 108 yoghurt pouches which would normally end up at the tip but luckily at

the Yellow Cottage we do recycle these by dropping them off at the Redcycle bin at Coles or Woolies.

We talked about what we could use instead of the pouches that was reusable and the children came

up with the idea of a tub and a spoon which we could use again and again.

We have lots of great sustainable practices embedded into our day to day routines at The Yellow

Cottage including our worm farm, compost bin, Giving Garden, recycling, we are single use plastic bag

free, and we sell our reusable wet clothes bags and morning tea bags. We thank Liesa Guiana for

being our champion in this area and instigating so much change at The Yellow Cottage.

Don’t forget to support our current sustainable project with Envision. We need you to collect your

WASHED bottle top lids (milk, juice, soft drink etc) and take them back to the Yellow Cottage and we

will arrange for them to be delivered to Envision.

NEWS FROM SCHOOL COUNSELLOR

Week 2: Well-being Challenge

Happy week 2! It has been a busy week of connections with parent-teacher

interviews and House Music.

Both rewarding events as they give the SGS community time to catch up and discuss the important

people in our lives. Let’s keep the connecting going by having a go at this week’s challenge. Did you

know, family conversations build vocabulary and comprehension? Both important skills for life.

Exploring Hope Challenge: Take turns around the table answering this question; What is something you want to learn how to do and why? Tap into your passions, be brave and think big!

DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARDS

Last Friday a number of committed SGS students were presented with Bronze and Silver Duke of

Edinburgh certificates. This ceremony was the culmination of many hours of effort and service that the

students had completed throughout their Awards.

To complete the certificate, students must demonstrate that they have participated in a sporting

activity and developed a specific skill. Students chose a wide variety of activities to complete for these

sections, including archery, sailing, motorbike maintenance and horse handling.

The students also have to complete a number of hours of community service. They offered assistance

in areas ranging from companionship and gardening for the elderly to tutoring students in order to

help improve their academic performance.

To qualify for the award candidates must also complete two adventurous journeys, which includes a

challenging hiking course. This requires the students to walk up to 15km per day and then set camp

and demonstrate the survival skills they practiced during training. The students completed their

adventurous journeys in the wilderness of the Barrington Tops, often in sub-zero conditions. As a

result, they had to demonstrate teamwork, cooperation, resilience and perseverance to ensure that

their journeys were a success.

Currently there are over 20 students from

Scone Grammar School completing Bronze and

Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards. They are

drawing on many different character strengths

to fulfil the requirements of personal

development and service to the community,

which ultimately leads to improved wellbeing

outcomes for all those involved with the

program. We look forward to observing their

progress throughout the remainder of 2019.

HRIS SECONDARY ATHLETICS CARNIVAL 2019

We were extremely lucky to have our HRIS Secondary Athletics Carnival held on a very spring like day.

Beautiful conditions allowed for some fantastic results from our 62 students. I wanted to mention how lucky

I am as our Sports Coordinator to have such wonderful, helpful students.

Due to a number of unwell athletes not able to attend, we had numerous events to fill. Our students on the

day managed to fill so many of these and participate all day giving it their absolute best.

As a result of the students’ hard work, our School placed 2nd overall and were the winners of the handicap

trophy, which is awarded based on the number of students at each school.

On the day students are also awarded individual age champions and combined age champions.

Individual means they achieved it out of all the students in that age group. Laura Sadler was the

Individual Age Champion for the 17 year old girls.

Combined Age Champions is

awarded to an age group within a

school that achieves the most

points. Our 14 year old boys

(Joshua C, Roly W, Hamish W,

Braedon H, Cooper B, Corey B,

Jack R) achieved the highest

combined points compared to the

other schools and so did our 18

year old boys (Alex C, Seb I

and Tom C).

The HRIS Carnival is a two-day

carnival with 17 schools. Division

Two was held on Monday and

Division One on Tuesday. Once

both carnivals have been run the

results are combined and the

AICES team will be selected in

the coming days. AICES Athletics

will be held on Monday 9th

September at Homebush in

Sydney. Stay tuned for results.

Thank you to Mrs Brennan, Mr

Croucher and Miss Collison for

helping on the day. These

fanastic, action photographs are

thanks to Sophie Frazer, from

Vivid Imagination who happened

to be there on the day!

Operation Christmas Child is a Samaritan’s Purse initiative that gives poverty stricken children around

the world a gift. Many of these children have never received a gift, so you can imagine their great joy

when they open their box.

You can visit the Samaritan’s Purse website and watch a video about how to pack a box and what

happens next. Most importantly it shows the sheer joy on the children’s faces when they receive their

box. https://video.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child-overview-2017-full/
