The Founder of Coogee Boys’ Preparatory School, Mr William (Bill) Nimmo, loved verse and wrote poetry.

He taught his students instructional poems he believed provided sound advice to assist them through life,

such as the one below.

Every Speech Night all Year Six students repeat verse three from the poem ‘I Am True To Myself.’

I AM TRUE TO MYSELF by Edgar Guest

I have to live with myself, and so

I want to be fit for myself to know,

I want to be able, as days go by,

Always to look myself straight in the eye;

I don’t want to stand, with the setting sun,

And hate myself for things I have done.

I don’t want to keep on a closet shelf

A lot of secrets about myself,

And fool myself, as I come and go,

Into thinking that nobody else will know

The kind of man I really am,

I don’t want to dress up myself as sham.

I want to go out with my head erect,

I want to deserve all men’s respect;

But here in the struggle for fame and pelf

I want to be able to like myself.

I don’t want to look at myself and know,

That I’m bluster and bluff and empty show.

I can never hide myself from me;

I see what others may never see;

I know what others may never know,

I never can fool myself, and so,

Whatever happens, I want to be

Self-respecting and conscious-free.

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

Australians all let us rejoice,

For we are young and free;

We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,

Our home is girt by sea;

Our land abounds in nature’s gift,

Of beauty rich and rare;

In history’s page, let every stage,

Advance Australia Fair!

In joyful strains then let us sing,

“Advance Australia Fair!”

COOGEE PREP SCHOOL SONG

Lads who surely know what sport is

Boys who only know what thought is

Tiger, fox and steady tortoise

Coogees face the foe.

Some of us are clever

Most of us endeavour

Not to yearn, the while we learn

For anything that work and us would sever.

Still what e’er the day may bring us

Patted backs or trials that greet us

Here’s the song we’ll always sing as

Coogees face the foe.

Three cheers for the black, gold and blue

May our victories ever be new

But defeat only makes us shout the louder

Three cheers for the black, gold and blue!

Headmaster’s Welcome

Mr Geoffrey Davison - Coogee Prep Patron, Emeritus Professor Rhonda Davison AM, Ms Dinah Ginis – CPS Board Member, Special guest of honour - Mr Andrew Edmondson, CPS teachers, staff, parents, ladies and gentlemen, boys, siblings and friends, welcome to Speech Night 2016. Tonight marks the final occasion in our school year. We are honoured to have our guest speaker Mr Andrew Edmondson CPS Old Boy and Olympian joining us tonight to present prizes and speak to us on his life and achievements since leaving CPS. This evening we celebrate the achievements of all Coogee Prep boys, Kindergarten to Year Six and bid farewell to our Year Six students who leave us to commence their high school journey. I would like to thank Mr Geoffrey Davison, the son of a CPS Old Boy (William Dunlop Davison 1921-1928) and Patron of the School who joins us each year for Speech Night, and his lovely wife Professor Rhonda Davison, who will be presenting awards this evening. Speech night is the most important event in the School’s calendar. It gives us the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the boys’ achievements throughout the year. We also look at the enormous contribution and role the teaching and parent body play to reach this point. It takes the involvement of many to achieve what makes this School the unique place that it is. However, tonight is not only a time for reflection on the year, it is a time for looking forward. It is a time to leverage the good will, progress and positive change, which will continue to drive a clear vision steering the School well into the future. At the heart of this vision is a student-centred, value-driven education formed around a comprehensive and rigorous curriculum. As educators, our goal is to nurture and develop boys into students who are motivated, enjoy learning, and who go on to fulfil their potential as they move into high school and beyond. It is this combination of knowledge and academic skills attained in a contemporary environment, underpinned by traditional values and an emphasis on strength of character that form the core of the education experience at Coogee Prep. Through the development of differentiated and comprehensive programs and co-curricular activities, we are able to help all students to recognise and realise their academic, sporting and personal potential. Through exposing students to the creative and practical arts, we are able to help the boys express themselves creatively, develop new skills and build confidence through group work, competition and performance.

The success our boys experience in all areas can be measured not only by credible academic and sporting results,

but also by excellent preparation and a huge growth in confidence even when faced with the toughest of challenges. On behalf of the Coogee Prep Community, I extend our appreciation to The Scots College, for allowing us to use this Auditorium for Speech Night each year. In 2017 we will be conducting this important event as a speech day, rather than night. More information will be given next year. I wish the Coogee Prep community a very Merry Christmas, a wonderful holiday and all the best for 2017. Mr John T. Dicks Headmaster

Gentleman

Coogee Prep’s philosophy adopts the traditional values of hard work, self-discipline and respect for others. This

ethos is encouraged in all students. The School Motto ‘Gentleman, Scholar, Sportsman’ captures the essence of

the ‘all-round’ education Coogee Boys’ Preparatory School offers every student.

The current Year Six boys have grown in confidence over the past seven years and are a group of fine young men.

It is their experiences at Coogee Prep that prepare them to take on the next stage of their lives with enthusiasm

and determination. 2016 Year Six are indeed wonderful ambassadors for Coogee Prep, as they prepare to enter

their chosen High Schools.

As an integral part of preparing the boys for high school and beyond, Year Six students take on leadership roles

within the School. We would like to congratulate the boys on performing these roles so well. They have proven

themselves to be leaders amongst their peers as well as excellent role models for the younger boys.

Coogee Prep is dedicated to promoting a high level of academic achievement. We continue to perform well in all

external testing including entrance to Secondary High Schools. It is always pleasing to receive positive feedback

from Senior School Headmasters on the readiness of Coogee Prep Boys for the challenges of high school.

NAPLAN

The NAPLAN testing was conducted for all Year Three and Five students in Government and Non-Government

schools nationally in May this year. The testing focuses on assessing the numeracy and literacy knowledge of

students.

Coogee Prep performed well above the state average in the recent NAPLAN testing. The boys should be

commended on their excellent performance.

Debating

The 2016 Debating Team represented Coogee Prep in the Eastern Regional IPSHA Inter-Schools Debating

Competition. The boys participated in numerous debates covering a wide variety of topics. Under the guidance

of Ms Ticky Fullerton, this debating season was a resounding success with the Team debating competitively and

presenting many strong and compelling arguments.

We would like to thank Ms Fullerton for her valuable help and support with the debating team.

Performing Arts

This year we welcomed a new Music Teacher in the Primary, Mr Jay Jacobs, a multi-talented musician and music producer. He has introduced the boys to a range of musical experiences including the electric drum kit, guitars, singing and sound making on the senior boys’ Chromebooks.

The whole School enjoyed an incursion from Musica Viva who performed using Japanese instruments. The Infants’ boys in particular were interested in the large drum called ‘waidaiko’ and could pronounce the names of many Japanese percussion instruments. Ms Gershon continued to work with the Infants’ classes in Music and Singing and Year Two enjoyed the introduction of Hand Bells, where they performed ‘Joy to the World’ admirably at this year’s Christmas Church Service.

Our annual school concert had a distinct Brazilian theme this year in keeping with the Rio Olympics. Scots College Auditorium was a mass of colour and noise as each stage entertained us with a video clip, dancing and singing. Thanks to Mr Jacob and Mrs Black for their coordination and planning in the Primary, and also the many percussion instruments that were made and painted for each class. The school band, coordinated by Mr Travers and Ms Gershon, made its inaugural appearance, performing two pieces, including ‘Brazil’ which featured a staff percussion solo, led by Mr Dicks on the samba whistle!

Events such as these highlight the depth of talent at Coogee Prep and it is wonderful to have the opportunity to

provide the platform for the boys to express themselves.

Peer Support 2017 will see the introduction of the Peer Support Program managed by Mr Ryan Gowland. Peer Support Australia provides school communities with an evidence based, peer led approach to enhance the mental, social and emotional wellbeing of young people. This will coincide with Alpha Leadership Program for Year 5 & 6 that builds on the foundations of a responsible and confident young boy with leadership skills who in turn gives back to his community. The Peer Support Program is a peer led, skills based, experiential learning program. It empowers young people to support each other and contribute positively to society. The program provides students with a supportive learning environment in which to develop the skills, understandings, attitudes and strategies to improve their mental, social, and emotional wellbeing.

In 2016, Year Six embraced the ‘buddy system’ with enthusiasm and we thank them for the support and direction

they have given their Kindergarten buddies to help them settle into School life. Year Six contributed greatly through

their leadership to the sporting, cultural and co-curricular activities, ensuring their success across the School.

We congratulate and thank our School Captain Gus Runow and Vice-Captain Zane Hercz, for their exemplary leadership

and commitment to their roles this year.

Student Representative Council 2016 has been a very successful year for the SRC. Every term, two new boys from each class are chosen by their peers as SRC representatives. This year the SRC were extremely busy raising not only funds but general awareness for different issues that our community faces. Over the year we have taken part in the Mobile Muster where we collected mobile phones and accessories to reuse or recycle to raise funds for chimpanzee habitats, Red Nose Day and The Polished Man, raising awareness for violence against children. Our most recent events have included a sports gala day for Pink Stumps Day, raising funds for breast care nurses through the McGrath Foundation and lastly our Portrait Fundraiser for St Jude’s School in Tanzania. It has been an exciting year for the SRC and over $3000 has been raised over the year. A mighty effort for such a supportive community the size of CPS. We thank you for all of your contributions throughout the year and look forward to another positive year for the SRC in 2017.

Sport

Sport continues to be an integral part of life at Coogee Prep. It promotes teamwork, sportsmanship,

communication, acceptance and inclusion. Our inclusive approach to sport gives each boy the opportunity to

participate and develop his skills. All coaches witnessed the boys develop during the year and look forward to

further growth in their nominated sport in 2017.

We thank and congratulate all our coaches for the commitment they showed to their teams and parents who

transported their sons to sport every Saturday and supported them at games and carnivals.

We would like to thank Mr Andrew Travers and Mr Campbell Foss for their efficient co-ordination of the Sports

Program this year. The 2016 Sports Program highlighted the sporting prowess and skills of many Coogee Prep

boys on the field, in the pool and on the track. We also thank the team at ‘Transform - Us’ for running our School

PE program again this year.

Coogee Prep students were involved in a variety of sporting events throughout the year including Inter-School and

CPS competitions. The following pages highlight and acknowledge the boys’ sporting achievements in 2016.

Saturday Sport – Summer

At Coogee Prep every boy is encouraged to develop physically and socially through teamwork. Sport promotes a

sense of well-being and encourages each boy to strive towards his personal best. During Saturday Sport and PE

lessons we aim to teach students to respect their opponents, accept the referee’s decision and understand the

importance of being part of a team.

Coogee Prep Primary boys had a successful Term One and Term Four Summer Sport Series. The 1st X1 team

were undefeated this season. We congratulate the teams and coaches on their achievements this year.

Staff

Coogee Prep continues to go from strength to strength, primarily because of its teaching and ancillary staff and for

this I am extremely fortunate and proud. Our teaching, support and administrative staff are great ambassadors for

our School who uphold and promoted the values, traditions, philosophy and ethos of Coogee Prep within the

School and local community. I cannot congratulate and commend them more highly for their dedication,

professionalism and hard work throughout 2016.

The staff exhibit knowledge, understanding and commitment to a ‘boy’s education’ through exceptional programs

and a balance of sporting and co-curricular activities.

Throughout this year, the staff brought their individual qualities, expertise and passion to school - which in turn set

the platform within their classrooms to inspire, motivate, and instill within the students a desire and enthusiasm to

learn. Teachers have every reason to believe that they do make a difference in the lives of their students!

I sincerely thank our seven classroom teachers for all that they have done throughout this year.

Miss Rachel Verrall (Kindergarten), for bringing leadership and guidance to the Infants’ department through her

collegiality and example, Miss Yvette Beaty (Year One), for her professional approach and caring nature towards

her students, successfully developing their early Numeracy and Literacy skills, Mrs Rebecca Sevier (Year Two),

who brings patience and dedication in preparing her boys for the primary years, Mr Jason Wren-Pattison (Year

Three), for his consistent and positive classroom routines and knowledge of curriculum, Mr Ryan Gowland (Year

Four & Senior Teacher), for the pastoral care and leadership he displays across the School and as an excellent role

model for his students, Mr Carlos Bartelme (Year Five) for his dynamic approach in instilling positive values

amongst the boys and his leadership in ITC and Mr Andrew Travers (Year Six & Sports Coordinator) for his

all-encompassing skills and passion, preparing Year 6 for high school and beyond, along with his innovative sports

and staff initiatives. Mr Stephen Dicks, continues to open up the boys minds to the history, language and culture

on Indonesia and fosters in the boys an appreciation for cultures other than our own. Mrs Tracey Martin has not

only been working in Learning Support and Library, she has had a day a week with Year Six focusing on the formal

structures of the English Language to enhance the boys spoken and written work.

I also thank our part time teachers Miss Celia Morris, Miss Nicole Thrassyvoulou and Mrs Stephanie Selter

who help and support the School tremendously.

Once again, I acknowledge Ms Kerry Gershon, with the utmost respect and admiration for what she does and

brings to the Coogee Prep family on a daily basis. Her exceptional leadership as Deputy Head embraces the

support and pastoral care of both staff and students alike, this along with her meticulous attention to administrative

detail ensures life at Coogee Prep runs as smoothly as possible. I thank her for her continued loyalty, commitment

and support, not only to the School but to me.

I cannot speak more highly of our administrative staff, Mrs Tessa Morris and Mrs Annette Black, who through

their highly organised and focused determination, ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the School at every

level, in particular, by keeping me on track and making sure I attend to the important tasks of the day. They are an

outstanding duo, who on a daily basis readily adapt, problem solve and multi-task to achieve their goals.

Mrs Morris, in the School Office is the administrative heart-beat of our building, monitoring the comings and

goings, keeping the data base and roll books up to date and those endless lines of communication open. As

registrar of the School, she coordinates school tours and admissions, ensuring the smooth transition of new

families into our School.

Page 32: Speech Night Booklet 2016

I also acknowledge our Learning support team of Mr Matthew O’Connor, Mr Stephen Dicks and Mrs Annette Black who very capably and effectively facilitate programs that assist students to revise, consolidate and meet educational challenges, predominately in Numeracy and Literacy. Our Mini and Multi Lit programs have once again made a significant impact for students to further develop and enhance their Literacy skills. I commend the “After School Care” team of Mrs Annette Black, Miss Sarah Ciftci, Mr Bob McDonald and Mr Stephen Dicks, for providing a caring and enjoyable service for all boys who attend. They ensure that the boys complete homework, and enjoy their down-time after a busy school day. Thank you all! Mr Bob McDonald has once again fulfilled his multiplicity of tasks and duties around the School with great efficiency and commitment – from running the uniform shop, controlling the traffic, coordinating a clean school environment, doing the banking and many other behind the scenes events, makes him a most valuable member of our team. I would like to congratulate our Performing Arts team of Ms Kerry Gershon, Mrs Annette Black and Mr Jay

Jacobs who collectively coordinate both Infants and Primary music lessons, performances and the School band.

This year at our School concert we were able to once again showcase both individual and collective performances of

singing, movement and instrumental work, which demonstrated the depth of enthusiasm and talent across the

School.

Mr Andrew Travers and Mr Campbell Foss have continued to efficiently coordinate the CPS sports program at

Inter and Intra School levels. They ensure that IPSHA draws for the Saturday Sport program and School carnivals

run smoothly and competitively. With many of the changes taking place within our sports program, both men have

been instrumental in making a seamless transition into new sports at new venues.

Ultimately, I have achieved my goal in having the best team of professionals and administrators collaboratively working to ensure that what we offer here at Coogee Prep is second to none!

Parents and Friends Association

I am amazed that the year has so quickly come to its end. It has been a fantastic mix of all the best things about

Coogee Prep. The School calendar has been full of all the wonderful occasions that make our school unique and bring our boys the joy of interacting with their parents, grandparents and carers with all the things that they experience at School.

All of our events are run with the tireless support not only from the class parents and parents to all the teachers

and school staff that make everything that little bit easier. Thank you to everyone, all the parents, the boys and teachers that come together at all our breakfasts, our raffles, our morning teas and BBQ’S and Fun Food Fridays (which raised $7500 alone this year!). All your support, all your attendance and generosity on all these special occasions is appreciated and is also what makes the P&F so successful.

A special mention this year of the Annual Fundraiser ‘A Night at the Races’. What a fabulous

venue and what a fantastic night was had by all. Everyone wowed in their race attire we raised a record amount for the school in fundraising dollars. Thank you again to everyone for their kind generosity. We are delighted to report that at the end of 2016 approximately $56,000 (gross) was raised which is a huge amount for a small School like Coogee Prep.

This money has meant the School could finalise the air conditioning fitout throughout the entire School bringing

much needed respite on hot days and keeping it warm in winter. New furniture has been purchased for the library, Year Three and Year Five. A proper Green Screen set up for digital filming has also been purchased as well as books and student resources throughout the School. We have funds in reserve for more purchases in 2017 where the Infants Classrooms will see new desks as well.

I have really loved my last two years on P&F Committee and have Steph Doble and Robbie Risk to thank for

that. We have been a great team and it has been an absolute joy to work with them over the last two years. We welcome in Nicole Williams, Sarah Sekulov and Natasha Fielding as the 2017/2018 P&F Executive and wish

them all the very best for the next two years. To all the Coogee Prep parents, teachers and staff, thanks so much for all your support and generosity that have

made the last two years an absolute pleasure. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas & safe New Year. Mrs Katie Jaques
