Shipwrecked

In this issue...

It seemed like a monster was eating the ship. A violent wind pulled at the sails, lightning sizzled the mast, twenty metre high waves kept dunking the boat’s bow in and out of the water. The sea thrashed across the deck, spilling men into its hungry belly. The sailors were sure they were never going to reach Rome alive. And it all could’ve been avoided.

Paul wasn’t one for saying, ‘I told you so.’ He’d already warned them, ‘Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss.’ (Acts 27:9 NIV) But the majority had sided with the captain and so they set sail.

Lesson one: Listening to the majority doesn’t make you right. Sometimes listening to God may go against human logic. Lesson two: God always brings good out of our mistakes. Despite Paul’s warning, they ended up shipwrecked in Malta. Instead of arguing about who was to blame, Paul channelled his energy into spreading the Gospel.

When we slip up, rather than play the blame game, we’d do well to see what God is up to through our mistakes. Lesson three: Whatever we’ve lost, God can find again. All of Paul’s belongings are forever lost at sea (or in the belly of some octopus) and yet Acts 28:10 tells us the people of Malta finally sent Paul away loaded with supplies.

Year 6 Leadership CampOn March 12, Year 6 school leaders

(school captains, house captains and chaplain’s assistants) attended the Year 6 Leadership Camp at Treachery Beach, 2 ½ hours north of the Central Coast at Seal Rocks, for three jam-packed days. The camp was organised by secondary teacher, Paul Glasbergen.Students had a fantastic time out of the

Principal’s UpdateMathematics 2012

As you are aware, Ms. Knight resigned unexpectedly earlier in the term. Since then we have been able to

accommodate this with a short term reallocation of staff here at school to meet the immediate mathematics teaching needs.Many staff have assisted, with particular thanks being

directed to Mrs. Stratford for her assistance in the secondary school.Following a period of time where numerous options both on

and off site were considered a resolution has been found as a result of Mr. Harris offering to return to Head of Mathematics for the reminder of 2012.Put quite simply, my administrative loss, is the secondary

mathematics students’ gain. Mr. Harris is a highly regarded mathematics teacher and has a proven history of personal and departmental excellence. I must at this point also thank Mrs. Lovell who welcomed

this news of his possible return and willingly stepped aside from her role as current Head of Department. I honour her professionalism and student first focus.Therefore as of the start of Term 2 Mr. Harris will take on

the HOD maths role. At the same time we will look to an administrative reshuffle that will deliver the administrative needs of the school until year end. We are fortunate to have the ability to make this adjustment

with numerous qualified and available staff for reallocation of duties that will not negatively impact on student classes or

teacher allocations.The net impact of this though is that to facilitate Mr. Harris’

return to the classroom we will need to rebuild the entire secondary school timetable from scratch. We will now pursue what is normally a many month process in far less time! (only weeks in fact) But I thank Mr. McLean, Mr. Harris and Mr. Robinson (Snr)

for their assistance and leadership in this process.So please be assured that we now look with real enthusiasm

to Term 2 knowing that the mathematics department will be able to recalibrate and recommence. I am sure you, like me welcome Mr. Harris back into this role.I will write later this term or early next with the details of the

administrative reshuffle. We expect to be able to hand out a new timetable first day next term, but please keep checking the website over the holidays as we will list it on our website the moment it is finished.

Ms Bentley on Long Service Leave We wish Ms Bentley all the best as she takes long service

leave during Term 2. While Ms Bentley is on leave Mrs Stratford will move into

the role of Head of Primary School and Mrs Hillsdon will be the Assistant Head of Primary School.- Mr Dean Bennetts

2013 HSIE Experiential Study Tour

“A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one

wants is the actual vital touch.” – D.H. Lawrence. (1885-1930)

For the record, we think museums are great. We’re also quite fond of libraries. However, as

Mr Lawrence suggests, there’s no substitute for the actual vital touch of first-hand

experience… and that’s exactly the kind of learning experience we’d like to offer our Year

10-11 HSIE students in 2013!

The French Cultural Trip has proven to be a highly popular and successful international study

tour. Building on this success, the HSIE Department is happy to announce an alternate study

tour running at the same time in 2013. By aligning several HSIE subjects, we now have the

opportunity for more students to travel and enrich their learning in line with direct syllabus

content.

You can marvel at the geography of one of the world’s most exotic cities (Dubai). Visit

Hitler’s Summer Retreat (Salzberg). Honour the victims of the Nazi’s Final Solution

(Dachau). Walk through time and enter the world of ancient Rome (Rome, Pompeii). You

can even cap off the trip with a luxurious cruise visiting historical and geographical

highlights of the Mediterranean like Mykonos, Santorini, Ephesus, and Athens!

We are seeking expressions of interest. All current Year 9 and Year 10 students should have

received a letter and flyer describing the tour in more detail. If you are interested, please

return the form attached to those letters by Thursday, April 5.

Thank you.

– HSIE Team

Wet Weather GearPlease ensure that all students have an umbrella or raincoat at school. While the students are not allowed to play outside when it is wet, they do move from their class to the various specialist classes throughout the day and need wet weather gear to prevent them from getting too wet during these transition times.

CIS SwimmingWe have 15 students attending the CIS Swimming Carnival at Homebush and we look forward to hearing of their efforts. It is a great experience to get this far in representation and I am sure that they will all enjoy it. The following students will be competing at CIS: Tommy Anderson, Kai De-Bellis, Indigo Ditterick, Bailey Johns, Taylah Kiss, Eden Leary Imogen McLoughlin, Tamara Nicholas, Zachary Payne, Mitchell Saunders, Eloise Tate,Ashleigh Thacker, Cooper Woolley, Samara Woolley & Benjamin Yates.

Uniform Policy - School ShoesIt is clear that quite a number of students have been under the impression that the regulations for school shoes have changed during the last year or so, and that soft, flimsy slip-on shoes or skate shoes are now acceptable. Please note that this is not the case.The uniform policy (available for download by parents from the school website) clearly states that the shoes are to be black leather polished lace-up dress school shoes. These are the type of school shoes made by Clarke, and other manufacturers, which provide much better foot support and protection than other shoes. Those students who need orthotics can use them with the appropriately sized school shoe.We have requested that students replace all non-uniform shoes at the earliest possible time, and that parents write to us to advise when they can obtain those shoes for their students. Currently we have about a dozen parents who have written, and we thank them for their cooperation.Other students appear not to have taken that message home, so we need to formally advise that term one is the transition period back to the correct shoes, and as from the beginning of term 2 the wearing of non-uniform shoes can no longer be accepted. Could we respectfully request that you ensure that your student is in the correct shoes at the earliest possible time? If there are issues of hardship or special circumstances which will make this difficult, please contact Mr Robinson by mail or email - [email protected]

HSC Students 2011Over the past few weeks Mr Wrankmore has been receiving feedback from 2011 graduates regarding their plans for 2012 and beyond. The school is very excited about the success the students are having in their chosen study or work plans for 2012 and beyond. As a result of good grades and ATAR’s achieved, the majority of our graduates have been offered or been placed in tertiary courses. Each year UAC (Universities Admission Centre) issues a list of courses offered to students from our school. (Not all students give permission for this data to be shared.) 36 of our graduates have been offered courses through UAC in Law, Nutrition, Nursing, Economics, Music, Psychology, Information Technology, Medical Science, Social Sciences, Arts, Communication, Hospitality, Health Science, Teaching, Management, Speech Pathology, English and Rural Science. We do know that there are more who have accessed tertiary study with institutions that do not work through UAC. Courses such as Ministry, Teaching, Business, Counselling are ones that we are aware of. We are so proud of the success of our graduates and are thrilled that CCAS was able to part of their journey.

Record of School AchievementAs mentioned in a previous newsletter the Board of Studies has replaced the School Certificate credential with the Record of School Achievement. The RoSA , as it is referred to, will be issued to students at their exit point from school post Year 10 but prior to the HSC. The credential will list the subjects a student has completed at point of exit with each receiving an A – E grade. (There are no external tests

so there will be no test results listed on the credential.) If a student exits school part way through a course then the credential will list the subjects but without an A – E grade. The RoSA will also have the capability of listing verified extra curricula act ivies students are engaged in which goes to providing employers with a broader picture of the student. Changes at school are very minimal with the academic processes being the same with internal assessments, examinations and curriculum content. The upside is that staff can teach content right through to the final day of the school year.For more detail please visit the Board of Studies website. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/

Health SurveyAvondale College and Adventist Health have asked the school to be involved in a health survey on the 4th April. This survey involves students completing an anonymous survey that takes between 20 – 40 minutes. Approximately 300 of our students across Years 7 – 12 will be taking part and a letter giving details and asking for permission for them to take part will be coming home in the next week. It would be appreciated if this could be filled out and returned to the teacher of the class in which they will be completing the survey. We really appreciate your help with this program.

Futsal CompetitionOn Tuesday, March 13, three teams represented CCAS at the Regional Futsal competition.16A boys team: Thomas Lyons, Billy Auton, Jai McNamara, Lachlan Pryse-Jones and Connor Noble. 16B boys team: Jarred Brown, Sachin Thapa, Liam Townsend, Hayden Ellis, Alexander Rynne and Rafael Lagos. 16 girls team: Hannah Danckert, Lauren Tindale, Kirstie Hutton, Darcy Griffin and Suzie Ridley.All teams played with amazing skill and sportsmanship.Our 16A’s played incredibly well throughout the day to be undefeated and regional champions. The boy’s played six games without subs to make it into the final. The final game was locked up at 3-3 at full time and went into extra time with a penalty shoot out. Connor did an outstanding job to save two penalty goals and score one, his own penalty, to win the game. The others all played well with Lachlan scoring a record 16 goals, closely followed by the captain, Jai, who along with amazing defense scored 15 goals, Billy’s defense was outstanding and created problems for any opposition’s go forward. Tom covered approximately 30-40 kilometres of court space throughout the day, or close to that amount, creating opportunities for goals and winning possession. Connor’s cat-like reflexes kept the team in the competition making countless saves that eventually resulted in us winning the Regionals. We’re looking forward to the boys competing at the state level later this year.

HRIS Junior Boys Basketball SelectionsSelection trials have been extended for our 2012 Under 16 Boys Team until the end of Term 1. These will be in the Sport Centre on Thursday, March 22 and Thursday, March 29 from 3:10 – 4:30pm. Ten players will be selected to represent CCAS at the HRIS Junior Basketball Gala on Saturday evening May 26.There will be no Junior practice on Thursday, April 5 after school as this is the last day of Term 1 and the start of the Easter and school holidays.Coaches are George Paton and TJ and Team Manager is Wayne Ferris.
