June 11 2014

from the principal Over the weekend Clarendon officially celebrated its 150th birthday. On Saturday night nearly 400 Old

Collegians, staff, parents and supporters attended a wonderful dinner celebration. The night began with a startling display of fireworks and was highlighted by three inspiring speeches delivered by Rowena

Coutts, the College Chair, and Old Collegians Ben Northey (Class of 1988) and Alexandra Patrikios (Class of 2009). They all reflected on the rich history of our school (the 5th oldest school in Victoria) and the contribution the College had made to their own careers and to the Ballarat, Victorian and Australian communities. The two Old Collegians provided an insight into how Clarendon had supported them to pursue their dreams and ambitions whilst maintaining authenticity. They were inspiring and uplifting.

I share Ben Northey’s thoughts at the conclusion of my comments. The celebrations continued into Sunday when a beautiful Church service was held in a packed St Andrew’s Kirk, the original home of the College. Kate Tierney (Minister, Ballarat Central Uniting Church),

Paul Blacker (Presbytery Minister), Dan Wotton (Moderator of the Uniting Church in Victoria and Tasmania) and Andrew Boatman (College Chaplain) ensured that the service was appropriate and

respectful whilst full of fun. At the finish of the service we all adjourned to the Memorial Hall at Sturt Street to sing “happy birthday” and cut our cake. The weekend was a triumph for all involved and was a fitting acknowledgement of the founders of our

wonderful school – Rev William Henderson and Mrs Elizabeth Kennedy. Clarendon is in a strong position at this time and we should all look back at the College’s past with pride and imagine the future confidently and with ambition. We have achieved much and there is still much to do. We can all be proud of our part in the journey.

editorial 150th Birthday Celebrations

Over last weekend it was wonderful to see so many Junior School families and students involved in the school’s 150th celebrations in one way or another. On Saturday evening, close to 400 members of our

community attended the celebration in the marquee at Sturt St which was launched via a spectacular fireworks display from the school clock tower. A number of guest speakers then engaged the audience by paying tribute to the school for enabling them to aspire to and then experience their ‘heart’s desire’. The church service at St Andrews UC on Sunday was also a special event given the link to the first College building on this site. The Junior School was again well represented by families and our choir performed beautifully in some massed items and their own presentation.

As mentioned in the last Echo, the second instalment of the school’s commemorative 150th History Cards have arrived and the children’s knowledge of our school history continues to grow. All families are advised that the next 150th event will be the school’s Performing Arts Showcase on Saturday 23 August. Overseas Study Opportunity

At the end of this term, Colin Esdale and Annie Jacox will be joining the respective Heads of Year 9 & 10, as well as our King Island Campus (Steven Belcher, Jennifer Bourke and Ben Wilkinson) on a trip to

Boston to attend the Harvard Graduate School for a course on leadership. This is a great opportunity for Colin and Annie to experience this level of learning at Harvard. They will be departing on Friday 20 June. Anita Roberts’ Departure All families are advised that Anita is finishing her time with us at the end of this week. Her husband has accepted a position in a university in Queensland. We would like to thank her for the positive

contribution she has made to our specialist Science program over the past year and a half. Melita Shillington and Jo Hill will cover Anita’s classes in the final two weeks of this term and then the arrangements for Term 3 will be announced. Junior School Disco All of the children had lots of fun at our circus themed disco on 30 May. Many thanks to Fiona Lyons and

our Year 4 Performing Arts Leaders for organising the event. We were also fortunate to have some

tremendous support from the JSPG in decorating the foyer and the hall so superbly as well as supervising other aspects of the night. Grandparents and Special Friends Day Last week we also celebrated another very successful Grandparents and Special Friends Day across all groups in the ELC and all classes in the Junior School. It was great to see so many children with one or more special visitors and the sharing of the learning was so special. We were fortunate to have the

support of so many staff and JSPG parents acting as guides and chaperones on the day as well as other volunteers helping to serve refreshments. Each year we get some feedback as to how we might improve the day for all concerned and such feedback is welcome. Jump Rope for Heart Result In addition to our Grandparents and Special Friends Day, last Friday also saw the staging of our Jump

Rope for Heart ‘Jump-Off Day’. The PE team – Paul Stephens, Kristie Cowan and Josh King – staged another great day of skipping for all of the children and at the end of the day we were able to announce the funds raised for the Heart Foundation. As of earlier this week, the school had raised in excess of $13000 for this very special research cause which was magnificent. Please see the PE report regarding the full details of the event elsewhere in this edition of The Echo. Oral Hygiene

The importance of oral hygiene will be emphasised through wellbeing classes this week and all of the children will receive complimentary toothpaste and a toothbrush from our Health Centre. End of Term Hot Dog Lunch and Fundraiser for ‘Livvi’s Place’ As part of our commitment to community service at the local, national and international level, we will be conducting a ‘hot dog lunch’ on the final day of term, Friday 27 June, in support of ‘The Touched by Olivia Foundation’.

The Touched by Olivia Foundation, in partnership with the City of Ballarat are building the region’s first inclusive playground at Victoria Park. This $1 million facility is set to become a community hub, where citizens, regardless of their ability, will be able to meet and play side by side. We intend to be part of Livvi’s Place Ballarat Flying Fox Friday to raise money for this wonderful project.

On Friday 27 June, students will be encouraged to dress in the Touched by Olivia colours – pink, blue and/or yellow and make a donation to the cause. The hope is to raise enough money through Ballarat schools to fund the flying fox component of the playground.

Further details will be made available closer to the event and through the Junior School Office.

Head of Junior School Grandparents Day I’m not sure who came up with the idea to have Grandparents and Special Friends Day but it was a wonderful one. To see boys and girls sitting on their grandpa’s knee listening to a story could’ve been

from a book itself. Nans were pushing cards around and learning new strategies to solve a problem. Preps were showing their grandparents or special friends the wonders of interactive smart boards. In addition to all of this, parents and grandparents were also secretly challenging themselves to see if they still had it. Skipping that is! And to their surprise most got a handy rhythm happening, even attempting the pretzel.

The corridors were crammed with grandparents and smiles but not quite as busy as the morning tea room where scones, cakes and “cuppas” were being consumed at a great rate.

In between classes of Maths, Reading, Science, History, Art and PE our guests were treated to performances from the JS Choir, a solo from Kira Mason as well as duet from Isabella and Elissa Abbas. The smiles and laughter were testament to a successful and extremely enjoyable day. Thank you to the person who came up with the wonderful idea of sharing our day and school with special members of the

many families within our school community. Click here for photos Click here for photos

Junior School Cross Country

The uncertainty of foul weather didn’t dampen the spirits of budding champs. If noise was the barometer of the success and enjoyment of the day the Junior School Cross Country event was a “cracker”!

It was difficult to hear the announcements at the beginning of the girls’ Prep 500m race but that didn’t deter the girls as they all knew they could run the distance at a fast pace as Mrs Cowan had trained them to perfection as they had regularly run 1000m. Harriet Beardmore rounded the final bend and held off the fast finishing Lucy Fraser (2nd) and Addison Tucker (3rd). The Prep boys couldn’t be held in their house areas and they swarmed the start line ready to rumble. The course held no fears for the boys as they too knew they could all make the distance easily. As the race

was well and truly under way an eager parent burst his way through the throng and muscled his way to the front of the spritely crowd with sweet dripping from his brow and tie over is shoulder to witness his young son cross the line in 3rd place. Toby Dixon, Jake Connelly and Joseph Belcher crossed the line in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

The races flowed at a frenetic pace and the runners circumnavigated the course just as quick. The Year 1 girls also ran 500m (1 lap) and came home in quick time. Isabel Wroncha took out the girls followed by

Kate Knight and the diminutive Sandra La. The Year 1 boys set a cracking pace and turned into a real tussle with Tommy Sutcliffe edging out Jack Cleary and Samuel Cousins. The Year 2s put on a show. Demi Candy, fresh from the 6km Great Ocean Road Race, held off the well

trained Annabel Moloney and the quiet achiever, Charlotte Harris. Annabel’s training regime reminded many of the late Cliffy Young, as she had a training track mown into the house cow’s paddock and could be regularly under seen dodging the paddies as the sun went down over the hills. The only thing missing was the gumboots. There had lots of talk amongst the teachers as to who would win the Yr 2 race and the favourite got up.

Mason Young outlasted James Forsythe and Darcye Moloney. An enjoyable part of the intense training

was the fact that many students weren’t particularly interested in winning but were more interested in doing a “PB”. Darcye achieved his PB in the last training session and broke that 5 minute barrier for the first time by 2 seconds. We keep saying, “Effort Counts!” and in the big race Darcye smashed his PB again by 20 seconds and picked up the bronze medal for his trouble. (Maybe he had been secretly training in gumboots.) The pace really started to go up as the distances increased. The Year 3 students were required to run 1.5

km. Lily Dwyer had represented the school at the district cross country and had put in the yard training to set herself for a gold medal. She glided around the course and left the others to battle it out for the minor places. New girl on the block, Kate Thomas, proved she wasn’t just a sprinter and collected the silver. That left Myah Grylewicz and Sophia Robinson to fight for the bronze. Myah had worked hard to move into 3rd place; however, Sophia grab the final place by a metre or 2.

If you haven’t seen the F1 cars fly around the Albert Park streets you would have got a sense of what it was like watching the Yr 3 boys travel the course like slot cars stuck to the track. After the initial stages 5 boys broke away and took the corners with precision and accelerated down the straights urging each other on. No-one was prepared to give an inch (cm) and to see the boys jostling for position and push themselves to the limits was fantastic to watch. After 3 laps, the pace had not subsided, in fact it may have even increased. It was 1, 2 and 3 for SHAW as Fred Valpied, Ben Locke and Joshua Johnston crossed the line. For 5 weeks during training Fred and Ben had pushed and pushed each other in the

hope of taking GOLD! The expressions on all of the boys’ faces told 5 different stories. Relief. Exhaustion. Oh No! Disbelief! I tried my best. Jonty Faull and Thomas De Ruiter’s efforts to push the first three can’t be ignored. Lacjhie Tucker tried in vain to to hang on then dropped off and then hang on again but the final 5 broke him through shear pace. It was the race of the day and we are already waiting with anticipation the rematch in 2015. It was time for the big girls and boys to come out to play. The Yr 4 students needed to run 2 km, four

laps of the new circuit that saw runners make their way over 6 different surfaces: grass, rock, bark, sponge rubber, concrete and sand. Tilly Pearce has taken on all comers since crossing over from Black Hill PS and wasn’t going to lose her first race in her last race at the Junior School. Abigail Webster finished promisingly to collect the silver, while all-rounder Juliette Parlange, grabbed the bronze. The final race for the day saw Luca Dixon go out hard, the only way he knows, and finish just as hard. Keiren Chapis was determined to be amongst the medals and had a silver hanging around his neck, while

Ty Palmer happily wandered over the line in 3rd place.

As the medal winners stood proudly on the dais, resident Olympian, Steve Moneghetti, put the medals

around their necks. Who knows but hopefully we will see one of our students represent Australia one day. With all the excitement during the day the final results were a bit of an afterthought. However, once

announced the noise returned as SHAW was again crowned the champion team for the 2014 Cross Country. Shaw – 1882 Thwaites – 1781

Sloan – 1668 Thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and friends who supported the exciting racing. To our staff, thank you for your support in amongst the house groups and scattered around the course encouraging runners complete their races.

A special thanks to Kristie Cowan who clocked up 7km running with and encouraging our wonderful students.

Thanks to McLean’s Services, especially our great groundsman Greg in the wonderful preparation of our grounds. See you all at our Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off Day!

The Junior School Sport & Physical Education Team. Badminton Round 2 Round 2 saw BCC Blue take on Villa Blue. Although the score line wasn’t in our favour, 0-6, it was pleasing to see improvement in many students’ game. Isabel Evan’s serving was testament to extra practise while Aranatee and Myles put up a good fight to nearly clinch a game.

BCC Yellow also went down 0-6 to Alfredton Gold who are looking the goods and might be the team to beat.

BCC Red Tejal, Shriya, Maddy and Emma played wonderful team badminton and ended up winning 5-1.

BCC Black Thenul, Tharul, Charles and Sulymann continued their winning ways with a comprehensive 6-0 against Blowhard. Badminton Round 3 Illness and absenteeism decimated all teams this week. Sulyman moved across to cover BCC Yellow and assisted his new teammates Jack Stone and Caitlin Abbs to win 4-2 with lots of close matches making it the match of the night.

BCC Blue didn’t win the match but they did win their first game of the competition. Thanks to Chris Evans who again took the umpires chair and was part of the first win for BCC Blue. Poor old BCC Red was affected greatly by illness and it left Emma Lagerberg and Shriya Patel to play all 6

games. To their credit they didn’t give up and won their last game but went down overall 1-5.

That left BCC Black with only 3 players. Therul, Thenul and Chis combined well and ended up winning 6-0. That made it 18 games without a loss to the boys. Thanks again to Andrew Cronin who umpired and scored all 6 games. The Greatest Show on Earth comes to Town. The line wound its way through the 100 year old gates and down Mair St. When the glass doors finally

slid open the brightly clad visitors entered the big top in a more orderly and mature manner than those who attend the Boxing Day sales. Young hands eagerly dropped their gold coins into the bucket, some reluctantly and some nervously as The Ringmaster bellowed, “Roll up! Roll up! Get your tickets for The Greatest Show on Earth. Once inside the big top visitors made their way to the main event and there in the ring was DJ Sam

Haans, an elephant (Mrs Cowan), a tiger (Kate) and many, many hilarious clowns (Miss K, Miss P. Miss

Smith, Mrs O’Brien, Miss Burt, Mrs Moloney). Also amongst the crowd was Mrs Ring Master, Mrs Lyons, looking splendid in a hot pinky purple jacket. The clown family was topped off by April Crumpler in iridescent orange and the Tucker Trio. Addi, Baeley and big punk brother clown Lachie. Addi just didn’t stop grooving, with her mouth open, and just couldn’t believe how much fun a disco could be. A pod of clown penguins: Tilly Pearce, Mikayla Clarke, Annie Cowan and Chelsea Grylewicz waddled and slid all over the floor to a variety of songs and choreographed moves.

DJ Sam whipped the crown into a frenzy and we witnessed many amazing moves, some never been seen

before on a dance floor. Joe Belcher had one eye on his fast moving feet and one eye on the camera as he cut up the dance floor. Oliver Finch warned everyone out the front of school on Friday afternoon that

his feet were going to be… “smoking” with some of the new moves he had been working on and he didn’t let us down. As he left the big top exhausted, his shoes were smouldering. The bearded lady (Mr V) was even seen shufflin’ near the ticket box to one or two tunes in between giving some dance tips to eager recipients including The Strong Man, Angus Fraser.

There was a clairvoyant, Amber McCarthy. A magnificent monkey, Emma Bailey. Emily Mathews was one of several wonderfully made up Marcel Marceaus along with Sebastian Carter and Joshua Jones. Magicians, lion tamers, the world’s strongest man and many, many other wonderful circus characters danced and moved graciously, and not so graciously, around the big top.

Congratulations to all those who made the effort to dress up and make the BCCC (Ballarat Clarendon College Circus) such a success.

Well done to Emma Lagerberg, Jane Pekin, Isabel Evans, Elise Duggan, Holly Gottlieb and Alicia Lee for assisting Mrs Lyons to get the circus to town and be so successful. Miss Watson’s Rock Challenge girls taught the crowd “The Time Warp” and the crowd also eagerly got

down and did the “LIMBO”. And of course our wonderful ladies who make up our JSPG. The foyer and hall looked sensational and added to the atmosphere and frivolity on the night. Click here for photo

elc All the children in the different programs are developing an understanding of the different communities they belong to. As part of the Ballarat Clarendon College Junior School community, the children have participated in raising money for the Heart Foundation. On Thursday 5 June and Friday 6 June the children have participated in the Jump Off Day, which was enjoyed by all! During these two days, many

children welcomed their grandparents or special friends into the rooms. It was wonderful for the children to share their experiences at Kinder with some of the special people in their lives. Over the past two weeks the children in the ELC have been very busy exploring and playing. Please read below some of the things the children in each of the groups have engaged in over the past weeks. In the three year old kindergarten programs, the children have focused on the different communities they

belong to. They have discussed how they help their families at home and they have become more familiar with the Junior School buildings and the school community. The children have enjoyed a visit to the Junior School Library and loved the opportunity to have access to so many wonderful books. They discussed the concept of borrowing books and how a library works. Everyone chose a book they would

like to look at and so spent some time browsing and enjoying the picture book stories. The children had a lovely time and hope they can visit the library again.

In the 3YO Extended program, the children have continued to build upon their listening skills. They have been listening to bottle shakers and trying to guess their contents by the sounds they make. The children have also thought of words and sentences to describe the sounds. As part of the community topic the children have talked about where they live. They have shared something special about their homes and have enjoyed making cut out pictures of their houses. The children have continued to enjoy building experiences with a variety of equipment including wooden blocks, Mobilo and Lego. They have

worked collaboratively and initiated negotiating and sharing behaviours. In the 3YO Sessional group, the children have focused on working together with their peers to solve a floor mat puzzle related to an underwater theme. The children have listened to other’s ideas and thoughts to piece the puzzle together. They have applied their negotiating and sharing skills while they

attempted to solve the puzzle. The children have also made connections with other children by talking about what animals might live in the ocean. Last week we opened up a post office corner. The children

have been taking orders and collecting and sending packages to their peers. They have answered phones, typed orders using the keyboard, weighed letters and collected money from customers. They have worked cooperatively and contributed their ideas and thoughts to shared experiences. They applied negotiating and sharing skills through initiating taking turns with the equipment and materials. The children in Room 1 have enjoyed listening to many of the Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler books. They have listened to the educators read them, to audio versions and have started to join in with the

repetitive text. The children continue to enjoy singing the Jolly Phonics songs and cannot wait until they find out what the next letter is they will learn. The children continue to experiment with the letters and attempt to use them to write and read in their play. Each morning the children sign themselves in and they are getting quicker at writing their name. This has resulted in children increasingly writing their own name on their work, instead of needing educators to do this for them. Over the past two weeks, two

mums came in to discuss their work within the community with the children. The children in Room 1

enjoyed having these visitors and listened attentively to the mums. They asked questions to develop a further understanding of the roles. The children have been introduced to the season of Winter. Over the next few weeks the class will display some of the signs of Winter… The children in Room 2 have been busy reading the story book ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’. To complement the story, the children have learned the three bears rap! They have used different voices to imitate the three bears which they have thoroughly enjoyed. It look like this will become one of their

favourite songs! The children have also been planning to create the three bears’ house within the classroom. So far they have made three different sized porridge bowls with Jo. Next week, the children are going to transform the tent into the three bears’ house so they can make porridge and look for that very naughty Goldilocks! Following on from the colour mixing experiments two weeks ago, the children became interested in floating and sinking. They selected various objects and used their prediction skills to decide on which item would float or sink. Then the children had the opportunity to test out their

predictions and think of reasons for why an object would float or sink.

Over the past two weeks the children in the 4YO Sessional group have consolidated their understandings of community. They have explored the roles of community workers through role-play scenarios and interviewing parents about their jobs in the community. The children set up their own Post Office using information from their visit to the Ballarat West Post Office. They made connections and used this knowledge to include stamps, envelopes, boxes, scales, letter boxes and a scanner in their post office.

The children have been taking turns to sell the stamps and sort the mail each day. They have worked cooperatively when deciding whose turn it is to assume these roles each day. They have been keen writing letters to post to each other’s letterboxes. Their letters reflect their understanding of letter sounds and structures of text. The children have enjoyed exploring their interests through a range of media. They have designed and built block communities, have drawn community workers and their resources,

painted characters from Jack and the Beanstalk and make puppets to retell familiar stories. These

experiences have highlighted the depth of knowledge and understandings the children have acquired this term.

performing arts Junior School Music Performances

The grandparents who visited the Junior School on Friday, 6 June were treated to some singing performances by Elissa and Isabella Abbas and Kira Mason. Kira is congratulated for her win as a vocal

soloist in the Primary School Vocal Solo section at the Hamilton Eisteddfod on Saturday. The Junior Choir also performed on grandparents day and were ably conducted once again by Jane Pekin and Charles Goldsworthy, our Year 4 choir captains. On Sunday, the Junior Choir performed at the 150th Anniversary Church Service. The choir performed an African piece, Wa Emimimo (Come Holy Spirit). They also sang the moving choral arrangement ‘For the Beauty of the Earth’ by John Rutter as part of a massed choir formed by all of the school choirs. This was

a wonderful experience for our young singers. We will now be preparing for the South Street competitions and learning songs from South Africa as some of our choir students will be participating in the Boite Chorus in September. Spotlight on Junior Ensembles

Junior Chamber Ensemble The Junior Chamber Ensemble is a violin tuition group run by Kate Carman, the Head of Strings at

Clarendon College. This ensemble is a semester long program open to students in the ELC and Prep. Students have been learning how to hold and care for a violin correctly, as well as the beginning steps of playing the violin through songs and group activities. Lots of singing and hand actions are involved in the lessons, which take place on Tuesday afternoons at 3.45pm. In Term 1 the children enjoyed learning how to make different sounds on their violin, and there was

much excitement when the bows were introduced! In Term 2 students are learning about using their fingers on the strings and will start to "put it all together". It is exciting to watch their development across the semester, and a great way for the children to begin their musical journey and experience the fun of playing music in the group setting. Introducing Anna Whitehead

In May we invited Master of Music Performance graduate Anna Whitehead to join the Junior School

teaching singing and piano. Anna also teaches singing and piano at the Senior School Performing Arts Centre. Anna is an opera singer, and has a wealth of experience in both performance and teaching. We are delighted to have Anna working with the Junior School students. Students who would like to take up lessons should fill out a form, which can be downloaded from the performing arts page on connect@clarendon or obtained from the Junior School office.
