A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER

A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER

“This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24

In the movie ‘The Dead Poet’s Society’ (1989), John Keating, an English teacher at Welton Academy, played by Robin Williams, found ways to encourage and inspire his students to achieve their best. He encouraged his students to be aware of the Latin term ‘carpe deim’,

which translates as ‘seize the day’. He asked his students to look around them and take on the opportunities that they are given and be confident that they will achieve outcomes beyond their imagination.

At our Spring Ball last Saturday evening, our Guest of Honour, Mr Ron Webb – Foundation Head of Broughton, asked our debutants, their partners, families and guests to take note of the Latin phrase ‘carpe deim’ and encouraged them to ‘seize’ all opportunities that are presented to them. In his address, Mr Webb encouraged all to reflect on how fortunate we are to live in a country such as Australia, with our vast resources and freedoms, and asked that we look for ways in which we can use what we have been provided to assist those less fortunate than ourselves.

Speaking directly to the debutantes and their partners, Mr Webb encouraged them to give thanks for the comfort, support and love they receive from their parents; to value the education that they receive at Broughton and to be aware of how affluent our lifestyle in Australia is in comparison to people in other countries. He challenged them to look at how fortunate and ‘rich’ they are in comparison to the rest of the world and to consider how they can use the benefits they receive, from the many opportunities that they are given, to assist those in need at a local, national or international level.

In his address, Mr Webb acknowledged that the desire to help others and to ‘do good works’ is not restricted to Christians alone. There are many people and secular organisations who are involved in activities and programs helping others. One of the things that make Christians stand out from others is that we recognise that it is God who provides us with life and its opportunities. As Christians, we recognise that each day is created by God and that He has a plan and purpose for us in all that we do. Mr Webb asked the debutantes and their partners to recognise each day that ‘This is the day that the Lord has made” and that He made it for a purpose. The debutantes and partners were also encouraged to ‘rejoice and be glad in it’ for He has given us so much to do great things for others in our world in His name. Mr Webb also asked the debs to note that the last line had the words ‘in it’, which he interprets as God wanting us to use the gifts and resources that He has provided us with in the world so that others can see the majesty of God.

It is Mr Webb’s and my prayer, that our debutantes and their partners reflect on the address that he gave and that they will take all the opportunities provided to them and go on to make an impact to others around them in a way which reflects the wonder of all that God has provided.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS AND COLLEGE EVENTS

COLLEGE SPRING BALL

Last Saturday, I was a proud Headmaster as I attended the 2011 Spring Ball. The Ball is always one of the highlights of the calendar of our Senior School, which allows girls in Year 11 to make their debut, if they desire. The College maintains the tradition of giving girls and their partners the opportunity to be involved in such events as we celebrate our links to the past, recognise the quality of the young women and men that we have in our Senior School and encourage them to consider the role they will take on in the adult world.

The debutantes and their partners for 2011 were;

Debutante Partner Debutante Partner

Alyce Ashford Cameron Garrety Sarah Fleming Jarrad Annakin

In recognition of our Celebration of 25 Years of Christian Education at Broughton, Mr Ron Webb (Foundation Head 1986 - 2007) was the Guest of Honour for the evening,

I would like to thank Mrs Sharon Auld (P & F Spring Ball Coordinator), Mrs. Sue Cartledge and Mrs Clipsham for making this evening such an outstanding success. I also thank Mrs Noakes and Mr Margin for the support they gave Mrs Auld and Mrs Clipsham in supervising the dance lessons over a number of Wednesday evenings in Terms 2 and 3.

JUNIOR SCHOOL NASSA CARNIVAL

Congratulations to the students from the Junior School who represented the College at the NASSA Athletics Carnival on Monday. I have received positive feedback on the behaviour of our team members and the outstanding effort many put in across a number of events. When I visited the carnival, I was impressed by the feeling of ‘school spirit’ which was evident as students encouraged and supported each other.

I congratulate the students who will represent NASSA at the Combined Independent Schools – Junior School Athletics Carnival to be held at Olympic Park on Thursday 22 September 2011

Thank you to the parents and grandparents who were at the carnival supporting not only their children and grandchildren, but were also assisting and encouraging other members of the team.

Mr Dunne will give further details of the carnival in next week’s newsletter.


SECONDARY AICES CARNIVAL

The students who represented the College and NASSA at the AICES Carnival are commended for their commitment and performance. All competitors gave their best in their events and were rewarded with selection to represent AICES (Association of Independent Co-Educational School) at the CIS Carnival to be held on Wednesday 21 September 2011.

Mr Strong has given further details of the achievements of students in the areas of Sport in the Senior School section of the newsletter.

I would like to commend Mr Stong for his outstanding work as Sports Coordinator this year. He has always supported and encouraged students and has a passion for further developing the “Spirit of BAC”.

MISA YOUTH OF THE YEAR

Last Monday, 5 September, Jane Skinner and John Brackenbury represented Broughton at the MISA Year 9 Youth of the Year Competition. In this competition, two students from each of the 13 MISA schools were interviewed by the three judges before presenting a two to three minute speech on a topic of their choice. Jane spoke on "The Impact of Facebook" and John’s topic was “Our Asylum Seeker Policy".

I commend Jane and John for being excellent representatives of the College.

YEAR 12 – FINAL WEEK

Events marking the graduation of our Year 12 students commence next Wednesday evening, 14 September 2011, with a Thanksgiving Service for Year 12 students, teachers, parents and other members of our College community. The service will be held in the Function Centre commencing at 7.30 pm. Please feel free to join us as we give thanks for all our students in Year 12 have contributed to Broughton and we commit them and their families to pray.

Other events which are planned to celebrate the graduation of Year 12 include:

Monday 19 September Staff – Student Soccer Match

Give thanks for all that the students have achieved and pray for them as they prepare for the Higher School Certificate. Pray that they make wise decisions and for safety as they drive to/from events.


SOME POINTS TO NOTE

NOTICE OF LEAVING

• Parents are reminded that it is a condition of enrolment of the College that at least a term’s notice in

writing needs to be given when a student is leaving the College. Failure to give this notice may lead to

families being invoiced for a term’s fees. This applies to all students, except those who are graduating at

the end of Year 12.

• Please note with the change to the leaving age for students in Year 10, those who are leaving Broughton

must also give written notice of leaving school and indicate whether they are going to another school or

other form of training or to ongoing employment. The College needs to have these details as part of our

reporting requirements.

• Due to the term’s notice and other requirements, parents are reminded that if their children are not

returning to Broughton in 2012, then we will need to have the notice by end of this term, which finishes

on Friday 23 September 2011.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN OUR CAR PARKS

Thank you to the parents who continue to support us as we manage the car park each morning and afternoon. The safety of students is always our first priority and we are assisted in this by parents who follow our arrows, which help the traffic to flow smoothly. We also appreciate the parents who take care when entering and reversing from car park spots, just in case a young student is ‘going the short way to the car’

On a small number of occasions, we have had cars travelling above the safe speed limit through the College and some ‘near misses’. If there are issues in the car park, could you please report them to the College Offices, with details of the number plate, so that we can determine if it is one of our student drivers, a member of the College community or some other person? Please advise us if you see someone doing the wrong thing, rather than having the situation where children, who are trying to do the right thing, are witnessing you being abused by a person who is not following guidelines. Please note, the College will report any actions which endanger the safety of our students to the police, if appropriate.

PLEASE WATCH THIS SPACE …

Some parents may have seen an article in the local papers which reported that the Mayors of Campbelltown and Camden were requesting a fast tracking of a road from Spring Farm through to Menangle Road. Whilst this proposal is in the early planning stage, the Mayors see this road as a way of alleviating some traffic from Narellan Rd, providing alternative access between the suburbs in the Spring Farm, Mount Annan area to Campbelltown and also giving improved access for the residents in Glen Alpine, Menangle and other areas to/from the freeway. The College is in support of this proposal and encourages parents to advise their local members and councils that they support these plans in writing,

GIFTED AND TALENTED CAMP

The HICES (Heads of Independent Co educational Schools) Gifted and Talented Camp is an opportunity for like-minded students to get together for a week and explore a variety of learning activities that they would not normally participate in. Teachers from the various schools involved ran all the core and optional activities with schools from all over the state participating. This year’s camp as usual was run at Elanora Heights in a wonderful bushland setting. Teachers who attended this year’s camp were Mrs Gajda, Mrs Bradley and Mrs Yeo. I


would like to thank these teachers for spending time away from their families to look after our Broughton Students.

The students who attended the camp this year were Sabrina Baillie, Thomas Cibilic, Maddison Urquhart, Shelby Wootton and Hudson O’Donnell. These students chose topics such as Words in the World, Visual Arts, Robotics, Stop Motion Animation and Science for their core sessions. Below is an article written by Hudson of his impressions of the camp.

The Gifted and Talented Camp was held from 29 August to 3 September at Elanora Heights. Each one of us chose a core subject which we would do every day of the week except Friday, which was the last day of the camp. The choices were; Robotics (Hudson), Art (Shelby), Science (Sabrina), English (Maddison), Website Construction and Stop Motion Animation (Thomas). On Monday night after dinner, we had a Trivia Night, Tuesday Night we had a Disco, Wednesday Night a Talent Quest and then on Thursday Night Rob Carlton visited. He had been on “Thank God You’re Here”, acted in “Paper Giants” and “Underbelly: The Golden Mile.”

The food was good, the activities weren’t boring, and most of all it was fun and we made lots of friends.

DA VINCI DECATHLON

On Wednesday 7th September 2011, sixteen students from Year 5 and Year 6 represented Broughton in the Da Vinci Decathlon held at Knox Grammar School, Wahroonga. The purpose of the day was for students to participate in an academic inter-school gala day with 26 other schools in NSW, specifically designed to enrich student learning. Each Year 5 and 6 team competed in ten events including challenges in Mathematics, English, Science, Code Breaking, Engineering, Forensic Science and General Knowledge. It was a wonderful day of social and academic learning where students could share their learning experiences. I think the students will agree that the highlights of the day were the various challenges (especially the marshmallow catapults), the Dominos pizza, the Knox Grammar setting and Mrs Gajda forgetting the keys and petrol for the minibus and setting off the alarm at 6.30am. Even though we didn't win, the behaviour and efforts on the day were outstanding!

Congratulations to the following boys and girls on a job well done!

PARENT TEACHER EVENING

I would like to thank all of the teachers for their time and professionalism on Tuesday evening. The teachers value these evenings where they have the opportunity to catch up with parents, as they work together for the benefit of the students. As I observed the conversations I was impressed with the positive mood and the cooperation on both sides of the tables.

Thank you to the parents who supplied and served dinner for the teachers. It is always greatly appreciated by the staff to be able to sit down to a meal, and have a break before continuing on for what is quite a long day.

DEBATING

This Term in debating, the team has grown with more eager debating students. There have been two debates, in both of which all students participating, did a fantastic job. In the first debate “Beauty is Only Skin Deep” both teams fought hard against Danebank School for Girls, with Brodie Haselhurst (Yr6) being one of the stand-out debaters with his third speaker rebuts. A special thank you goes to Courtney Mustone and Macy Torrington (Yr5), for stepping in at the last moment to be Chairperson and fourth speaker for the affirmative.

Debating Coordinator


TODAY’S CHILDREN ARE NOT SPOILT

On 26 August, Broughton’s debating team travelled to Newington College to debate the topic that “Today’s Children are Spoilt”. The result proved that today’s children are NOT spoilt as both negative teams from each school WON! It was Broughton’s Years Five and Six debating team’s first win. The winning team consisted of Caitlin Dillon, Sarah Russell, Jana Massingham and Chloe Bloom (Yr5). We won because we rebutted the team line of the affirmative team and they did not rebut ours. Broughton’s affirmative team lost but the adjudicator said that both rounds of the debate were very close and it only came down to the rebuts, which both negative teams presented more strongly. The food afterwards was very nice and it was an awesome day, and the other teams were good sportsmen.

PREPARATORY FATHER’S OPEN MORNING

Prep held their annual Father's Open morning last Tuesday 30 August and Thursday 1 September. It was a terrific morning with all the dads. The Prep children played games, painted pictures and created crazy constructions out of boxes with their dads. They also performed a few songs for their dads. Thanks you to all the dads who came and made the morning so special.

KINDERGARTEN FATHER’S DAY MORNING

On Friday 2 September, Kindergarten welcomed fathers and grandfathers to a Father’s Day morning tea. The morning began in the COLA with Kindergarten reciting My Dad, by Anthony Browne. We then took our Dads and Grandads to our classrooms for morning tea and a play. Kinder Red and Kinder Green showed their special Father’s Day DVD and then challenged the grown-ups to a paper aeroplane race and some ball games. Thank you to the Dads and Grandads who were able to spend time with us on Friday. Kindergarten had a fantastic time sharing our morning with you.

SCIENCE WEEK

Science Week: The science is theoretical but the fun is REAL!!!

Attention all nerds, scientists and all in between! From the 15 to 20 August 2011 Broughton Anglican College took science to the Extreme with our annual Science Week. It started off with a Year Seven Hat Competition promoting the week’s theme of “react to chemistry”. Hats of various colours and sizes lined up to be judged for the one person to take the crown and win the ultimate Science Prize. The first day was one to enjoy with experiments of dry ice and the annual rocket launch at lunchtime. As the days passed so did the anticipation for King of The Hats. Experiments became more and more exciting and students’ enthusiasm increased as water rockets, bomb bags, thermite reaction, coloured fire flames, film popping canisters and much more were conducted. As Science Week became more fun the time passed before our eyes and the week ended. On the last day the winners of the Hat Competition were announced. In third place, Hayley McIntosh, second place Todd Alcock and the winner was Gemma Maranthou. Congratulations to our winners and all those who participated.

PREFECT CORNER

BRAD JACKSON

Hi I am Brad Jackson. I have been attending Broughton since I was in Year 4, 2004. I am currently involved in the Student Representative Council, and as one of the College Prefects I will be working with fellow prefect, Danielle Taylor, as the Prefects working with the Junior School.

Hi I am Victoria Nicholson, but please call me Tori. I have been attending Broughton since the Year 2000. In my time at Broughton, I have taken part in many drama performances, and school productions as well as participating in the Choir and Chamber singers. Broughton has influenced me to become a Christian and their lunchtime activities especially RAGE have helped me grow into the person I am today. I`m very much looking forward to enjoying working with my fellow prefects who are amazing!

CHANGEOVER OF WINTER UNIFORM

Students are reminded that the changeover from winter to summer uniform takes place at the start of Term 4. Please refer to pages 18-20 in the Student Handbook.

WRITER OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to this week’s winner of the writer of the week. This contribution from Erin Garrett of Year 11 gives us an insight into the experience of returning to places from our youth:

“The continuity and repetition of the waves soothes me. I match my breathing to them, out as the wave crashes, in as its resonance fades from my hearing. My thoughts rotate to the soon to arrive bus, which will whisk me away forever. Time has flown in this gentle calmness and tranquillity. Soon it arrives, coming to a rest in front of me. The door wheezes open, beckoning me inside to warmth and protection. I stand now at peace.”

Erin Garrett – Year 11


SPORT UPDATE

August and September has been a huge two months of sport at Broughton. Early in the month our CIS Girls Cup Football team played their semi final against the much fancied Pymble Ladies College. Pymble in the past two years had put some big scores on all their opponents, once winning the final 9-nil. Our Girls had a glut of possession throughout the game, forcing the Pymble side to go the extra yard in defense. Broughton had over a dozen shots on goal but were denied all but once, Jessie Sapsed Yr 10, slotting our one goal, by some excellent keeping. Pymble’s fast forward line got Broughton a couple of times on the counter attack with our girls going down 3-1. A big thanks to all the parents that came along to cheer our girls and make all the noise in the grandstands, the girls really appreciated the support. Thanks to Mr Gillies and ex student Tim Beasant, for coaching the girls this season. That is three semis in a row for the girls; next year we hope to go one step further.

Broughton also ran the NASSA and AICES athletics carnivals this year. From a contingent of 97 athletes, we competed well in a number of events at the NASSA carnival. Our senior division was particularly successful finishing second overall. As a whole the school finished sixth, with only 200 points separating second to sixth. Highlights included:

• Our victory in the premier event, the open boys 4x100m relay, with our team winning by 0.1 seconds over TIGS. Great work by Andrew Millen, Mohit Srivastava (Yr 11), Jarrad McCarthy and Keagan Healy (Yr 12),

• Zachary Kappler (Yr 8), breaking the record in winning U/14’s Javelin. Zachary also won the U/14’s Long Jump.

Other NASSA Champions are listed below

Student (Age group) Event(s)

Emily Lucas (U15) 800m, 1500m

Melissa Lucas (18/19) 800m, 1500m

Jessica Bowlay (U17) Shot Put

Kara Osgood (U14) Discus, Shot Put,

Alicia Kappler (U16) 200m, 400m, 100m

Andrew Millen (U17) 200m, 100m

Abbey Gillam (U13) High Jump

Andrew Smith (U16) Shot Put

Elizabeth Crocker (U17) Long Jump

Erin Garrett (U17) Long Jump

Other students selected to compete at AICES were Mitchell Clements (Yr 8), Paul Dawson (Yr 9), Matthew Ryan, James Van der Schyff (Yr 11), Alison Milligan and Pamela Ramirez (Yr 12).

A total of twenty students performed well enough (top three in track and top two in field) to qualify for the AICES carnival which was held on Monday 5 September. The NASSA team won the carnival with the students from the College doing more than their share to collect points for the association.

Of the twenty students who competed on the day, eleven students qualified to compete for AICES at the NSWCIS carnival. This is a fantastic achievement as it is the second highest number of competitors from the NASSA association and out of more than fifty schools in the AICES Association; we provide the fifth highest number of individual entries to compete in the NSWCIS carnival. We were unlucky to not have more with a couple of students missing out on higher honours by a single place.

We had three AICES champions this year. They were;


Zachary Kappler (Yr 8) – U/14 Javelin Emily Lucas (Yr 10) – U/15 1500m James Van der Schyff (Yr 11) – U/17 400m

In addition to these champions the following students have qualified for the AICES team to compete at NSWCIS on Wednesday 21 September

Abbey Gillam (Yr 8) Kara Osgood (Yr 8) Alicia Kappler (Yr10) Jessica Bowlay (Yr 11)

Andrew Millen (Yr 11) Andrew Smith (Yr 11) Melissa Lucas (Yr 12) Jarrad McCarthy (Yr12)

We have also held the NASSA AFL and Netball Gala Days. Our teams competed well in these events, with our sides finishing in the top half of the competition. As always, our players competed in the spirit of the game and were excellent ambassadors for the College.

So far in Term 3 we have seen some excellent results from our athletes. They have represented the College with pride and we hope to see a continuation of achievement for the remainder of the year.

There will be two session times:

Preparatory to Year Two Students – 3.30 pm to 5.00 pm

Year Three to Year Six students – 5.30 pm to 7.00 pm

A permission note will be sent home with students which will include an option to have a “sausage sizzle” dinner as well. Make sure you come along and join in the FUN!

COLES VOUCHERS & WOOLWORTHS DOCKETS

There’s not long to go now with the Woolworths promotion finishing soon – on the 18 September, and Coles

in October. Please keep collecting your Coles “Sports for Schools” tokens from the Coles checkout and your Woolworths Supermarket receipts and place them in the boxes provided in the Junior School Office or the Sports Centre.

You can keep track of how many points we have tallied up in the Woolworths Challenge by going on-line to www.woolworths.com.au, and can also keep track of the Coles tally by checking the updated total in the Sports Centre.

You [O God] care for the land… [Therefore we care] Psalm 65:9


Thank you to all of our students and parents who have been bringing in Coles vouchers and Woolworths receipts/dockets already. We still need lots more to reach our “goal amount”.
