upcoming major events

Out and about with the Headmaster Mr David Gates

Our first Parent Weekend of the year is next weekend, 22-24 February. The purpose of the Parent Weekend is to encourage the whole College community to make a special effort to attend events and to mix with other parents, staff and students to celebrate our community. In creating the College Calendar, the staff try to arrange a number of special events for these weekends. The weekend concludes with a Chapel Service with a very particular focus each time.

NUT FREE SCHOOL Just a friendly reminder that Scots All Saints College is a nut free school and as such students are not permitted to bring any food containing nuts to school. We have a number of students who are severely allergic to nuts and exposing those students to nuts could be very dangerous. If your child does suffer from a severe allergy or anaphylaxis and you haven’t already supplied an up to date action plan it would be appreciated if you could do so as soon as possible. Students requiring an EpiPen should keep it with them or in the front pocket of their school bag at all times. Any other medications that may be required should be taken to the class teacher or school office.

space to inspire Academic year started: 1975 at Scots School Academic year finished: 1980 What are you doing now? Renovating!

Doug Thost

Other stuff too… I’ve been driving a fuel truck for a helicopter company during the recent Tasmanian fires this summer (glamorous eh?). I often have an Antarctic contract over summer, but not on this occasion.

Photographer

After school I studied Geology at UNSW, graduated with first class honours, worked in a gold mine, went back to Uni and worked towards my PhD in Antarctic Geology, which ultimately led to a career with the Australian Antarctic Division and a slight segue into Glaciology, studying glacial retreat on Heard Island, amongst other things. Antarctica inspired me to become a better photographer, and I have been semi-professional in that sphere as well. I have travelled to Antarctic twentysomething times now, and have been voyage leader on the RSV Aurora Australis and CSIRO RV Investigator on several occasions. Currently, my drone business ticks along, as does my photography. My science career is long gone, but I’m always trying something: drone technology is amazing, and if I had my time again I’d probably be doing robotics and aeronautical engineering! What I enjoyed most about school? Friendships. Sport. Impersonating teachers. What did you value the most about what you learnt? Studying can be hard. But ultimately, it pays off. How has school prepared you for the real world? I’m not sure it did! Boarding was a bit like living in your own little world, especially in (what was then) a sleepy country town like Bathurst. And it was a boys’ school back when I went… Not as bad as “Lord of the Flies”… but co-ed is the way to go if you want some real world preparation!

“It’s hard not to be influenced by peer group pressure, but don’t be afraid to be original, or to go in a different direction. ”

What is one word to describe your time at the college and why? That is a tough question. How do you distill six years into a word? Perhaps ‘transformative’ in that I went from a boy to a young man while at school. I still had a lot to learn though! What has inspired you on your chosen career path and why? My original career was in science: geology specifically. My science teacher, Mr Ian Pike (Pikey, to us kids) was an inspiration, with his humour and knowledge. I always enjoyed science, and was OK at it at school. I particularly liked geology, and saw it as a way of seeing the world, not just as a career. What is the message to other students at the College? A: Try to think outside ‘the square’. It’s hard not to be influenced by peer group pressure but don’t be afraid to be original, or to go in a different direction. Mentors are good people: try and find one in a field that interests you. Encourage people who try. It’s not just about you.

Today’s Reflection Mr Samuel Gittins Chaplain

The Bible refers to itself as “God’s Word” Why am I here? To live according to our purpose is to find a meaning that is bigger than the ups and downs we experience we go through. So, what is our purpose? What does the Bible teach? We exist to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever. For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Romans 11:36 [NLT-SE] Yes, joyful are those who live like this! Joyful indeed are those whose God is the LORD. Psalm 144:15 [NLT-SE] Made for glory and joy… good!

Middle School Mr Chris Jackman Head of All Saints Campus / Director of Middle School

I am impressed by the manner in which the students have settled in so quickly to the Middle School routines. We are blessed to have such caring and considerate students who have been looking after each other so well. The students are very busy with their academic program and the teachers have set high expectations from the start. I encourage all of the students to make the most of the opportunities at Scots All Saints College and to get involved in extra curricular activities such as the water polo competition at lunchtime or the chess competition. I look forward to seeing everyone at our Twilight Picnic on Saturday 16 February from 5pm – 7pm on the Junior School Oval. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet the parents of other students in your child’s year group. I encourage everyone to introduce themselves and work towards building our new College community. Next Friday is Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Day for Year 4, 5 and 8. I look forward to meeting all of our special guests for the day and, most importantly, I know the students will love having them in to show them their school. I will see many of you tomorrow at the K-6 Swimming Carnival. It will be exciting to see our students competing in their first event for their new House.

Senior School Mrs Tracey Leaf Head of Scots Campus/Director of Senior School & Boarding

This Term is already starting to feel like it is racing away, which is often the case when schedules are busy or when we’re having fun and here in the Senior School, we’re experiencing both! Earlier this afternoon while on bus duty, I welcomed home the Year 11 Biology students who spent today at Sydney Olympic Park on a field trip exploring the mangroves. (I believe a report will appear next week). Many thanks to Mr Dundon and Mrs Knight who planned this excursion and accompanied the students. Learning can take place in a variety of spaces but I think you’ll agree it’s always fun to exchange the classroom for time in God’s creation, learning more of the world around us! This week, the new furniture for our library was finally installed and our senior students wasted no time in finding comfortable areas to work, both individually and in small groups. It really has been wonderful to see them utilising the spaces that were designed and built especially for them. Assembly this week featured the ‘SASC Big Band’, under the direction of Mr Clipsham. They brought us amazing jazz! If you have the opportunity to see our young people play, grab it with both hands! Our College benefits in so many ways when students and staff share their talents and gifts with our community. Thank you to the SASC Big Band and Mr Clipsham.

Lunar New Year Celebrations A number of Year 7 - Year 12 international students from countries including Korea, Hong Kong who board at Scots All Saints College had loads of fun at a special dinner in Bathurst to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

Just a reminder that students are required to wear a school hat when outside. Fortunately the days are somewhat cooler lately but this does not diminish the damage that can occur to our skin when we are outside in the sun. I would ask that parents assist us in ensuring students have the correct hat available. The Senior School wishes the younger students well for the K-6 Swimming Carnival this week; the first major Scots All Saints College sporting event for 2019. We trust you will have a safe and fun time. Siu Kwan Tang with ice cream and chocolate.

Co-curricular Mr Justin Adams Director of Co-curricular

After less than two full weeks this year it is really exciting to see that many of our co-curricular programs are up and running. This cannot be done without the outstanding work of our talented and dedicated staff. We thank the students for responding and getting involved with the various co-curricular programs and also our parents for their support. There is a wide variety of co-curricular activities for our students to get involved in. Our summer sports teams are back into the second half of the season and despite changes to some sports training sessions, coaching arrangements and new transport logistics things seem to be developing some routine. We thank the students and parents for their support and patience during this transitional phase. The sports coordinators Mr Gardner and Mrs Nelson are busy at present preparing for the swimming carnivals and will be calling for winter sport nominations next week. Keep an eye out for a CareMonkey communication. Mr Clipsham, Ms Tamsitt, Mr Ball and the rest of the team in the music department have a huge range of musical offerings for students to join or try. Please seek out these staff for more information about their ensembles and music tuition programs. The Highland Dance classes have also begun with a very good response from the student body. New dancers are always welcome – even if you just want to try it out to see if you like it. Our teachers Mary and Kim are very friendly, passionate and experienced instructors. Information about Junior School classes can be sourced from Mr Roohan. The Middle School class (suitable for girls in Years 5-8) is held on a Thursday afternoon at the All Saints Campus from 3:30pm to 4:30pm and the Senior School (7–12) class is also on a Thursday at the Scots Campus from 5:15pm to 6:15pm.

The program is free of charge and will involve some firefighting competitions later in the year.
