Mr Paul Simpson was a popular Basketball coach, Maths and Science teacher at Shelford’s Girls Grammar school in Melbourne Victoria. Several years ago, he and three other teachers took a group of Year 10 girls on a snorkelling excursion at a reef near Bells Beach.

CEP WEEK!

Last week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, students from Years 7-11 participated in the College’s CEP program.

CEP stands for Challenge,

Explore, Prepare and we aim to do just that for our students over the three day program.

Each year group has a different focus for their time together and engage in different activities. Each year group is summarised

below with some comments from students and, of course, photos!

Mrs Fiona WrightWellbeing Events & Tabitha Co-ordinator

STUDENT WELLBEING

Year 7Year 7 head to The Collaroy Centre for the three days where they learn more about God and engage in a range of challenging and enjoyable activities. The main idea of this camp is to bring students together to work as a team and get to know people they may not have spent much time with – to consolidate them as a cohesive year group.

“We went on lots of different harness activities and we also had water games which was lots of fun too. We played some games at night and the food was delicious.“

Isabelle Luscombe

“Firstly, what I liked about camp is that we got to swim in the rockpool. Secondly, I enjoyed playing Laser Tag which was really fun.Thirdly, I liked all the teachers that were with us all the time.”

John Xavier

Year 8On Wednesday, Year 8 went to Somerset Outdoor Education Centre for a day of team challenges and activities. They spent Thursday with Year 9 as boys and girls hearing from guest speakers about relevant issues and engaging in a Survivor challenge. On Friday, students had a session each on Forensics, Team challenges and hydraulic robots. The aim for this year group was to encourage resilience, teamwork and problem solving.

“Whether it was climbing through the obstacle course at Somerset, carrying someone around the oval in a bed sheet, or seeing how long it took to get 13 people across the basketball court on 7 chairs, CEP for me was very fun. My favourite activity was on Friday. We made hydraulic powered robots out of wood and syringes, and battled against other team’s robots to see who was the champion. I enjoyed CEP very much and can’t wait until next year.”

Felicia Poirier

“I really enjoyed CEP. I got to get closer to my friends and learnt more about my year mates. I found it hard and fun to do all of the activities. The thing that I learnt the most was how to work with a big team.”

Year 9Year 9 were able to choose their activities on Wednesday so groups spent time Wakeboarding, at an Italian Cooking class, doing kickboxing, judo, boxing and barefoot bowls. On Wednesday they joined Year 8 and spent the day as boys and girls with guest speakers thinking through relevant issues. On Friday they left early to head to Wollongong for a day of surf lessons and stand up paddleboarding. The aim for this year group was to offer them the opportunity to try new things and to demonstrate perseverance and resilience.

STUDENT WELLBEING

Year 10Year 10’s theme for CEP was service. They spent Wednesday preparing for the rest of the week and teaching primary school classes in the afternoon. On Thursday, Year 10 were in several small groups engaging in service activities which they had signed up for. Service activities included:

• Putting on a concert for residents of Newmarch Nursing Home• Decorating Newmarch Nursing Home for St Patrick’s Day• Putting on a concert for and interacting with residents of a local disability service • Making 100 rolls and cooking 14 dozen muffins and 2 slices for Mama Lana’s Community

Foundation• Mulching College gardens• Helping out at Foodbank NSW• Bushcare – planting out an area of Katoomba Falls, and weeding and clearing areas of

Werrington Lakes• Gardening, clearing and general maintenance at Nepean Riding for the Disabled

On Friday, Year 10 participated in The Awesome Race in and around Sydney where they had to work together to solve clues and complete challenges to gain as many points as possible!

Every group who worked with our Year 10 students has contacted the College to express their delight and appreciation at the work that our students did and they way they conducted themselves. Most have expressed a desire to work with the College in a long term way as a result of this day. We are very proud of the way our students represented the College and themselves!

“I think that CEP was great fun. The Judo and kickboxing were great fun and I think Yr 9 CEP was the best CEP yet.” Reuben Young

STUDENT WELLBEING

The Vine - Issue No 4, 2018

“I found that CEP was a great experience emotionally, physically and socially. Not only did CEP give us a chance to work with old people in a nursing home as well as disabled people which touched our hearts, but we were also able to interact when teaching the junior school students and get to know people we wouldn’t usually talk to in our year. We had to use a lot of teamwork walking around the city to many places we may or may not have been familiar with. It was a great experience that none of us will forget.”

STUDENT WELLBEING

Year 11Year 11 headed to Teen Ranch for the three days on their Equip Camp. The aim was to provide students with sets of skills and mindsets that will help them achieve their goals for the next two years as well as to provide opportunities for private study. Students heard about the importance of drafting and taking on board feedback, learnt some study tips, thought about what they are wanting to achieve over the next two years, heard from a sleep expert about the importance of quality sleep and chose two outdoor activities. They also enjoyed a night walk and a campfire as well as a themed dinner together.

“Spending time at Teen Ranch for 3 days during CEP was such an incredible experience, it is one I can truly not forget. Apart from the useful and frankly much-needed study sessions, there were activities ranging from canoeing to bush walking in the dark, followed by an amazing campfire. There was just so much new to experience. However, there was something else that was truly special which CEP offered this year. It enabled our Year to become closer and bond much more. I found myself spending quality time with not only my usual friends, but also with other friends who I usually only see in class. CEP let me develop stronger relationships with all my friends and let me learn more about my Year, everyone in it, and some of my great teachers. Not to forget, the hilarious and wonderful fancy dress theme dinner. This let us all dress up as anyone from the 1920’s to 1990’s. I found myself having lots of fun seeing everyone in costumes. Dressing up myself became a fun experience to my surprise. Overall, CEP this year was by far outstanding. It delivered so many brand new experiences which I truly cherish. I just wish it could have lasted longer!” Gimhan Perera

“Even though I didn’t think I would appreciate going to Study Camp, I found the complete opposite was true. The many talks that we had were quite eye opening, the time we had to study was very useful, and the activities that we had, though challenging, were really rewarding, and overall fun! I found that by the end of Friday I wasn’t particularly wanting to leave.”

Rehearsal is in full swing!

Our musical production “The Pirates of Penzance” is continuing to take shape with weekly rehearsals under the expert direction of Miss Sophie Tucker and Mrs Nerida Hext. Make sure you write this into your calendar for June! It will really be worth seeing this excellent and fun show.

If you have been waiting for this moment, please contact Mr Steve Clark or Mrs Karen Jones very soon! Nathanael is an experienced teacher and outstanding musician who is looking forward to becoming involved with our community.

Guitar EnsembleI am also after about 8 intermediate to advanced guitarists to form a new ensemble. Reasonable reading skills will be necessary (standard notation or TAB) and it will be mostly acoustic but am keen to talk to any guitarist who is interested. Depending on the response, there may be an auditioning process and the group will meet on Tuesdays or Fridays (TBA).

SENIOR SCHOOL

The 10th NSW All Schools XC MTB Championship is three months away and it would be wonderful to have a larger presence from the College

this year.

Held just outside Penrith in Yellomundee Regional Park it is an opportunity for high schools students across NSW to take part in an

exciting and fun team mountain bike event and to represent their school. The event format is similar to a relay, with team members taking turns to complete laps of the 5km cross country course. The team with the most

number of laps completed in the 4 hours will be the winner. Mrs Erica Price will be speaking to the Senior School students at an upcoming

assembly, but for now save the date.

Visit of Japanese Students from Niigata Prefecture International Highschool

Between 19th March and 23rd March, 8 students from Niigata Kokusai Joho High School became part of the College

community. They took part in English classes, joined classes with their College buddies and experienced life at

school in Australia. It was a great time for the Japanese students and teachers to experience new things and to make

friends here in Penrith. We wish them the best as they return home and start their new school year in April.

In August we are expecting students from our sister school Kumamoto Marist College to visit us, so if you are

interested in students homestaying with you for 8 to 10 days please keep an eye out for communication later this

year with more details.

HICES Junior Debating

Round 1

As the minibus rumbled up towards Inaburra school, we were all feeling a little bit nervous. This was our first debate and none of us had ever debated before. We had all worked very hard to create a strong argument and a strong model but we weren’t sure if our “hard” was their “enough”.

Inaburra school was huge. We all sat in a place like our Lighthouse Theatre to be welcomed and then told where we should go to begin our debate.

When we got there, we began a fierce battle of words to try and win the arguments. It was very, very close but the adjudicator ruled in favour of our opposing team which was Macarthur Anglican School. She said it was a very close battle but our rebuttals just weren’t as powerful and convincing as theirs. Our topic was "That there should be a tax on household rubbish".

Round 2

At Thomas Hassall, we went head to head against William Carey in a battle titled, "That graffiti should be accepted as an artform". We were the affirmative in this debate. We put up a strong fight the whole way through, convinced we would win because of our strong case and strong rebuttals but unfortunately for us, we lost! Mr Lewis kindly drove to Thomas Hassall to pick us up after the debate and return us to the College so we could get home earlier than last time! We all had a good time and enjoyed ourselves which is the main thing.

Junior HICES Debating Team: Lachlan Hanrahan and Isabella Stewart (6Black), Matilda Middleton, Lucy Jack and Elissa Ferguson (6Red), Toby Gange (6White).

BeeBots

At the beginning of the year the College purchased a number of new robots for the Primary students to use as part of a new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) initiative. The students have thoroughly enjoyed these new additions to the classroom and they have quickly embraced the concept of coding and programming these robots to move by following a set of sequential movements.

The students in Stage 1 have been using ‘BeeBots’ over the course of the Term and have started to solve problems that require them to move the robots in particular directions while also following a series of steps the get the robots from one particular place to another.

Students in Year 2 can be seen in the photos using BeeBots and Cubetto to solve problems through coding and programming these robots to respond to the commands that they have set.

Students in Stage 2 and Stage 3 have also been using another form of robot and they too are extremely enjoying these new additions to their classrooms along with the teaching and learning activities that are being used across all Key Learning Areas.

NASSA Football Gala Day

Monday 12 March saw students from Years 5 and 6 represent the College at the Primary NASSA Football Gala Day. It was a challenging day but much fun was had by both teams.

The boys played a great brand of football on the day, however, ended up coming 3 on the table due to some very close matches. Congratulations to St Luke’s Dee Why and Thomas Hassall Anglican who won the boys competition.

The girls did amazingly well on the day, however, had some very tough matches to finish in 5th place.

Congratulations must be passed on to Ella McGarity and Matilda Middleton of Year 6 for being selected for CIS football trials. Well done to all our players on the day.

Aboriginal Shelters

As part of our Year Three History unit Community Rememberance, Year Three built modern day humpies out of cardboard and sticky tape.

Traditionally Aboriginal people lived in shelters created with natural resources to provide shelter from the elements. We had a lot of fun working in a small group building our humpies.
