HEADMASTER

Mr Stephen Kinsella Headmaster Congratulations to our newly appointed student leaders. There were many happy students and family members at the Induction Ceremony held last week celebrating the appointment of School Captains, Vice Captains, House Captains and Vice Captains and Prefects for 2017/18.

The opinions of the students are also considered. Voting takes place by students in Year 10 to Year 12 for the position of School Captain and Vice Captain. All students in each House vote for their leaders, and current student leaders are consulted about suitable candidates to replace them.

Leadership at TIGS, in both the Junior and Senior Schools, is not a popularity contest. The appointment of students to positions of leadership is made, on the advice of staff and students, by the Headmaster.

There are a number of opportunities to serve as a student leader: • School Captains and Vice Captains are appointed after an interview with the Headmaster and the Head of Senior School. • House Captains and Vice Captains are appointed in consultation with House Patrons • Prefects are appointed in consultation with the teachers responsible for each portfolio and the Senior Dean. The decision to appoint a student as a leader is made after considering their demonstrated leadership skills and their degree of commitment to the School and its values.

The School’s philosophy is that all students have the opportunity to experience the role of leadership. It is not uncommon for as many as 90% of students to be appointed to leadership positions in Year 12. We believe that if a student is willing to take on the responsibility of leadership they should be given the opportunity. We also believe that leaders should take Christ’s example as their model for leadership – leaders have their position so they can serve others. There is no place for ego or self-aggrandizement in leadership at TIGS. To be appointed as a student leader, a student is expected to have demonstrated an on-going commitment to the School, its values and its programmes. I reminded students at the Induction Ceremony that their commitment to the School is monitored right from their first moments at TIGS. A long-term and consistent commitment to Academic Excellence, Christian Belief and Behaviour and our Caring Community (our TIGS core values) is the starting point when evaluating applications for leadership positions. It is noticed when uniforms are not worn correctly or when participation in House events is not wholehearted.

Not everyone can be School Captain – the idea of 80 School Captains is scary as well as absurd. It is our intention to find each student, willing to take on the responsibility of leadership, the position that matches their ability and commitment. We hope that our newly appointed student leaders will be as succesful as those that have preceded them.

Mr Stephen Kinsella Headmaster

In a similar way, the performance of students in leadership training and service activities is also noted. It is exciting to observe latent leadership qualities revealed during the leadership-training programme that spans Year 7 to Year 11 – it is surprising how often the most popular students are not the best leaders.

Matthew 20: 26-28 (The Message) Jesus said, “You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage.”

CHAPLAIN

Rev. James Rogers Chaplain The Unifying Factor It has begun. I am referring to the countdown to Christmas. Two things this week brought that reality home to me. First, I saw the very first Christmas tree, sitting ominously in the window of a hairdressing salon in Unanderra. Wow! I hadn’t expected that. Maybe next month but not in October. Second, this week I had to table the draft proposal of our Christmas Celebration to those staff who are the key drivers of this wonderful event. There is no escape. Christmas is approaching. The advent of Jesus at that first Christmas was the fulfilment of an age-old promise that God had made to his people to send a saviour into the world to restore them to himself. The first time the promise appears in the Bible is as early as Genesis 3.15, shortly after humankind had been estranged from God because of sin. God took the initiative in promising a solution to the problem we had created. It was undeserved, unearned, unbelievable. The word the Bible uses to describe it is grace. Grace is unmerited favour. We are the objects of God’s grace. From the moment God uttered his promise to send a saviour into the world, his people held out hope that they would live to see the day of God’s fulfilment. All lived in anticipation of that day, whatever else might have characterised their age. Christmas is the celebration of the saviour’s arrival. He was given the name Jesus to signify his mission - he would save his people from their sins. Old Simeon represents all the faithful who held out hope of seeing the Messiah with their own eyes. Having seen him Simeon said he was now ready to pass from this world to the next; his great desire had been fulfilled; his eyes had seen God’s salvation.

We might think that the waiting is over now. God’s Messiah has come and gone. But this is a mistake. We are still waiting for the advent of Jesus. In this respect, we are no different to those who lived prior to Jesus’ first advent. Jesus made it clear when he came the first time that he would come again. The faithful still hold out for this day. They desire to see it in the same way as those who lived before the first Christmas desired to be alive when God fulfilled his promise. The believers in Thessalonica in the first century had a reputation for waiting. The apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 1.9-10 reports what others were saying about them: “They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.” This is a succinct description of a Christian. Indeed, it is a succinct description of all the faithful in every age. Everyone is always waiting for Jesus whether they know it or not. While Christmas is a celebration of his first coming it is a reminder that he will come again. It is a heightened anticipation of that event. I look forward to celebrating all this with you this Christmas. Rev. James Rogers

JUNIOR SCHOOL

Mrs Narelle McRae Acting Head of Junior School Year 6 Exhibition

The PYP Year 6 Exhibition is fast approaching. On Wednesday 1 November 2017, the Opening Ceremony will be held in the IGC at 4.00pm and everyone is welcome to attend.

Hair with Heart

Marley Stephenson from 6C has donated 52cm of her hair to Hair with Heart and has raised over $4,600

The Exhibition represents a significant event in the life of an IB school and the students in that school. As a culminating experience, it is an opportunity for students to exhibit the attributes of the Learner Profiles that have been developed throughout their engagement with the Primary Years Programme (PYP) over a number of years. Our Year 6 students are well underway with their PYP Exhibition. Over the course of the year, students have discussed real-life local issues with global significance to be investigated. They have now formed collaborative inquiry groups based on one of these issues which they connect with and that interests them. Over the past week, each group has worked closely with each other and their teachers to define a central idea, decide upon lines of inquiry and pose concept based questions which will drive their inquiry. To provide further guidance and to engage in their learning throughout the remaining Exhibition process each group has been matched with a mentor. Students have also been keeping an Exhibition Journal to record and reflect on their learning throughout the process. Many students have commented on their excitement in finally reaching this culminating project of their PYP. It is a significant opportunity to demonstrate all aspects of the Learner Profile as internationally-minded students. They are now entering the longest stage of the Exhibition process which is gathering the necessary material to analyse and synthesise into key understandings. We look forward to seeing you at our Opening Ceremony.

The Hair with Heart organisation makes donated hair into specialised wigs for children who have lost their hair due to a medical condition such as alopecia or cancer. Variety also raises funds through the sale of the hair which is then used to provide equipment and services to children in need. https://hairwithheart.everydayhero.com/au/sharethe-red-hair We are very proud of you Marley!!

THE PIPER CENTRE

Mrs Taesha Duley-Smith Director of the Piper Centre

We are pleased to announce that The Piper Centre has been chosen to be a part of a Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) pilot programme called ELSA (Early Years Stem Australia). ELSA is a pilot programme being designed and developed by the University of Canberra to inspire curiosity and engagement in STEM concepts for preschool children. It is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training through the National Innovation and Science Agenda. The Piper Centre is one of 100 early learning services nationwide that have been selected to take part in the ELSA pilot scheme. Through the Australian Government’s National Innovation and Science Agenda (NISA), a variety of initiatives are being introduced to increase the participation of students across all levels, and the wider community in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and to improve their digital literacy. As a part of this suite of initiatives, the Australian Government is investing in the foundation of STEM skills to promote positive learning experiences for children aged three to five years. This will include the development of early learning STEM resources and training for educators, as well as more opportunities for families and children to engage with fun and exciting STEM activities. Under NISA, the Australian Government is funding three early learning initiatives to support the development of foundational STEM skills and to provide positive learning experiences for children aged three to five years. These early learning initiatives are: ELSA pilot; The Smith Family’s Let’s Count programme and Froebel Australia Limited’s Little Scientists programme. The ELSA Pilot includes the delivery of digital, playbased learning experiences rich in STEM concepts through a series of apps. The ELSA apps will be complemented by a rich professional learning programme for educators and ongoing support available via telephone and email.

There will be six apps developed and implemented as part of the 2018 ELSA Pilot: •

Four apps for children which are play-based digital learning experiences rich in STEM practices, such as exploring locations, patterns, problem solving, designing, making and spatial reasoning. The children’s apps are aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and will be supported by a range of hands-on activities that encourage active play.

•

An Educator app designed to help implement the ELSA Pilot, and support educators to share ideas with each other and contribute to a community of practice.

•

A Families app to help families engage in the ELSA Pilot and support their child’s STEM learning at home.

Our involvement in the programme begins this term with staff training and workshops. As part of the programme we will be the first to use the ELSA apps and resources to further incorporate STEM practices that will enrich our specialist STEM programme. The Piper Centre offers this specialist STEM programme on a Wednesday. To stay updated with the latest news about ELSA and resources about STEM in early learning, you can sign up to the ELSA Newsletter by visiting their website or visit the ELSA FAQ to find out more.

SENIOR SCHOOL

Mrs Naomi Sullivan Acting Head of Senior School Year 12 – New and Old potentially go on to study locally while continuing to access global opportunities and connections provided through this programme.

The final week of Term III was a busy and slightly emotional one as our Year 12 students participated in their closing week of School, including their last Senior School Assembly, Graduation Ceremony and Graduation Dinner. Although finalities and goodbyes can sometimes be difficult, it also provides an opportune time to reflect on memories made, lessons learned and achievements gained. Year 12’s final week certainly brought a lot to the surface and it was a pleasure to be a part of this period of reflection with them. It is times such as this, when emotions are running high, that students can sometimes fall into the trap of allowing excitement to override values and common sense. Thankfully, it wasn’t the case for this group who finished strong, with humour, grace and respect indicative of the nature of their cohort. During the week, many spoke of the opportunities afforded to them through their time at TIGS and were also heard encouraging younger students to make the most of their time at the School. They definitely provided a fine example of what it means to be a TIGS student and are to be acknowledged for the positive way in which they concluded their schooling. During the first week of the school holidays, I had the pleasure of attending the University of Wollongong with several Year 12 students as His Royal Highness, The Duke of York formally launched the Universities Global Leaders Education and Development programme. The programme targets high achieving students providing entry into an Honours degree as well as opportunities for international study at the UOW’s Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore campuses and internships within various global organisations. It is an exciting prospect that our students can

The HSC examinations commenced this week for our Year 12 students who provided a mixture of responses as to how they were feeling going into their first English exam on Monday. One student spoke of being “at the perfect level of stressed” while another commented that they were feeling “chilled and ready to go”. Among the rustle and bustle of ‘cram notes and quotes’ it was observed that students were in good spirits and obviously had a healthy perspective on the exams before them. This healthy perspective was helped along by the fact that the majority of students who had applied for early entry to courses at the University of Wollongong had been offered conditional places in these courses just last week. This a remarkable achievement and one that has reduced the pressure surrounding the HSC for many of our students. It is also testament to the effort and hard work these students have maintained over the last two years which is recognised during the application and interview process for early entry. During a conversation with one Year 12 student this week, he lamented feeling as though he had already been replaced saying “It was weird coming back this week and realising that everything at School is just going on without me”. While I reassured him that he would no doubt be remembered for his unique qualities, he had a point. Our new Year 12 cohort has already made themselves very comfortable in the Senior common room, commenced their year 12 courses and have prepared to embark on all that comes with being a Year 12 student. As well as this, our Leadership Induction Ceremony was held last Friday to officially acknowledge and appoint our new leaders to Prefect and Captaincy positions. Despite being only two weeks in, our new Year 12 cohort has already covered a lot of ground during a busy start to Term IV. It is an exciting time for our new Year 12 students who will make their own mark at TIGS and will no doubt leave us with their own unique impression. Just in time for the next group to start! Mrs Naomi Sullivan, Acting Head of Senior School

COMMUNITY

CROSSROADS During the first week of the October holidays 22 students flew to Hong Kong to serve with an NGO called the Crossroads Foundation. The Crossroads Foundation in brief connect people, businesses or organisations who are willing to give, with communities around the world who are in need. This year our students sponsored a container that was going to Cameroon. The goods in the container went towards building a school and library in an area that has a school dropout rate of 65%. Students are forced to leave school because of lack of resources or the need to be at home to look after and earn money for the family. The students experienced the life of someone who contracted AIDS, what it was like to be blind and the feeling of being a refugee and having to support a family. The students were also able to help a small fishing village called Tai O which was hit by a storm surge as a result of Typhoon Hato (one of a few class 10 Typhoons that have hit the China coast in the last 20 years). The students helped an aging community with mattresses, rice cookers and small appliances. Some locals were still sleeping on mattresses that were wet from the storm. The goods that our students were delivering had a very real and immediate impact on their quality of life. As much as the people of Tai O had to live through a natural disaster, it was a privilege and an emotional experience to see the joy on their faces to receive goods that we take for granted every day. Ultimately our students learnt that we live in a world in need and by just being themselves they can serve and give back in many ways. Parents and TIGS can both be very proud of how the students prepared for the trip, conducted themselves while at crossroads and the young men and women they are growing up to be.

EXTEND @ TIGS Last week at Extend the children made sugar crystals, muffins, shower jellies, milk shakes, smoothies as well as playing Cricket, Scavenger Hunt and Rob the Nest. Sadly, we also said goodbye to one of our positive and energetic teachers Miss Abby. The children made her a card and wrote some nice farewell messages, Miss Abby will be missed by all of Extend. As Term IV commences we would like to remind parents that bookings from Term III will not roll over into Term IV, you would need to rebook your child/ren.

Our Extend Superstars are:

Jack Finnin… for his energetic, positive and enthusiastic approach to teacher’s instructions and activities.

What’s on next week?

Monday: Hula Hoop / Tick Tack Toe / Skipping rope challenges Tuesday: Crystal Christmas Tree and a game of Challenging Tasks Wednesday: Bath bombs / Free choice of sports activity Thursday: Fruit Popsicles / Playdough Friday: Creating Bowls using buttons / Cricket game
