Chaplain’s Chat

We were saddened to learn of the sudden death of Mr Ryszard (Rys) Herzig earlier this week. Rys worked in our Primary School last year and was a very popular teacher with the children. Funeral arrangements are yet to be confirmed.

It was pleasing to see so many new parents at the P&F Welcome to New Parents evening on Wednesday. The weather was kind for those two hours and one lucky family won a Term’s fees in the lucky door raffle.

The most recent P&F meeting was well attended, and I encourage members of our community to become involved in the P&F. Membership forms can be found on our website. The P&F raises funds to support our children by funding various pieces of infrastructure or programs.

This week, I attended two events that showcased the talent of our students – past and present. On Monday, Ms Goodman and I went to the opening of Art Express, a collection of the very best of last year’s HSC Visual Arts students’ work. Courtney Martyn’s ‘6 Degrees’ hung prominently among these works. The talent on display was extraordinary. A few of Courtney’s friends, fresh from their first day of university lectures, made the trek to Olympic Park to support her on her special night.

On Tuesday, I went to the NCIS Swimming carnival at Lismore. I must thank Mr Webber, Mrs Hilton, Ms Moore and Mr Andrews for their organisation and support for our swimmers. Mr Webber has listed our outstanding swimming achievers in his section of the newsletter. The next step for these athletes will be the CIS carnival in Sydney.

Next week, we will send all members of our community an invitation to ‘Buy a Brick’ in the Branson Centre. We will be selling brick fascias that can carry a student’s, family’s, or business’ name. These will be installed on an interior wall of the Branson Centre, and will act as a visible legacy of support for the centre. Funds raised will help us install the best equipment available for our students’ use. We will also invite our alumni to take part in this fundraiser, and hope our community seizes the opportunity to get behind our appeal.

Some more great news about one of our alumni - the Matilda Award ceremony is an annual event that honours and celebrates the achievements of the Brisbane theatre Industry. Established in 1987 by Alison Cotes and Sue Gough, the Awards have become a prestigious event within the theatre sector. Originally decided by professional theatre critics, the award nominees and winners are now selected by a slightly enlarged group of theatre professionals, but not by the general public. They remain essentially Critics Circle award, like those in Melbourne and Sydney.

The Matildas have consequently gained a reputation for rewarding the work of some of Australia’s best established practitioners and companies, and for acknowledging the talent of many emerging artists.

Emily Curtin (2007) (daughter of Karen and John) won Best Female Actor in a Leading Role: Emily Curtin (A Tribute of Sorts)

She was a student here from Kindergarten and was inspired by John Foulcher and Mike O’Brien.

More congratulations this week to:

Kalina Bennett (12) has been selected in the NSWCHS Sports Association Triathlon team• Zöe Burgess (10), placed 8th in the NSW All School Triathlon, and has made the NSW team as a reserve. Zöe also won a bronze • medal as the 3rd placed CIS girlKy Kinsela (7) became the NSW U13 Boys Surf Swim champion, winning the state championships held at Umina• Jacob Oxley (6), Sam Parkes (5), Zane Misios (6), Tom Winchester (6), and Lachlan Joseph (6) were selected in the MNCJRU • Under 12’s representative rugby team

Principal’s App of the week: Home Pool Safety

As we travel with Jesus throughout the season of Lent we read in the Gospel of Luke 13: 31-35

At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him. ‘Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.’ He said to them, ‘Go and tell that fox for me, “Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed away from Jerusalem.” Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.”

We are reminded to follow by Jesus example, that when we are faced with the worries and the fears that daily life bring and we want to run away from things “to stay close and he will stand with us.” Jesus reminds us that his work is not done and he desires to protect us by gathering us together. He paints a beautiful image by using a metaphor of himself as a mother hen and the children of Jerusalem his chicks. We enter this story as that brood of chicks who are scattered, distracted, unable somehow to comprehend the very real danger that is threatening. Jesus’ lament over Jerusalem is also over you and me and this world which all too often refuses the gifts Jesus would so freely give, when all it would take for us to survive the attack of the Fox would be for us to “stay close and he will stand nearby.”

It shouldn’t be so hard, and yet it is for it seems we are always prone to think that we are enough that we know better, that we can do better – or at least well enough on our own. I wonder what are the foxes, which still threaten us today, and what difference would it make for us to stand near to Jesus as they approach?

As we continue to journey together in this season of Lent may we use it as a time to reassess, reflect and examine ourselves as we go forward with Jesus.

Cottee - swimming Carnival viCtors!

Two classes in the Secondary school will be participating in a national Healthy Lifestyles survey, administered by the Cancer Council. 10SCI4 and 8ENGA have been chosen to complete this task on Thursday 14 March. I have sent home permission forms and information for students in these classes, so please ask if you haven’t seen this yet. This will assist with information for essential research by the Cancer Council. Permission slips are due to the Secondary office by Tuesday 12 March.

There are many activities taking place in the Secondary school at this point in the term. Excursions, sporting competitions, creative arts and clubs are all well and truly underway and it is important that students are aware of their commitments. Each morning in the first class of the day, teachers will read the daily notices where many of these opportunities are advertised. I encourage students to make note of important messages that are read out and posted around the College on various noticeboards.

Flat sole shoes are not acceptable footwear to have with the College sports uniform. I have reminded students this week at assembly that they must wear a sports style shoe that is appropriate for sporting activities and provides the correct support for growing feet. The flat soles can potentially cause damage during sporting activities and are not part of this uniform.

Congratulations to our swimming squad who performed very well at the NCIS carnival this week. There were some fine individual efforts as outlined in the sport report, but as a team BDC finished second in both the Primary and Secondary competitions. Well done.

It was wonderful to see the House spirit that led to our success in the carnival. We had some very talented swimmers, wonderful leadership from the senior students and excellent participation by all. It was clear that we were a force to be reckoned with when Cottee won four out of the six relay events. This was a fantastic effort and all blue bloods are to be congratulated on the victory.

writing mattersEach year the English Faculty supports and promotes original student writing. We do this through our teaching, our assessment tasks and our encouragement of students to enter various writing competitions.

Last year the Faculty ran the inaugural Les Murray Poetry Prize. Over one hundred students entered poems in this competition, all read personally and judged by Australia’s finest poet, Les Murray. The competition is running again this year and many students are already crafting their poems in their English classes.

The Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Competition is a national competition in memory of the author of “My Country” and many other well-loved poems. Students can choose to write a poem on the optional theme of “Wherever the wind blows” or a theme of their own choosing. The closing date is 30 June.

Write4Fun is a competition that asks students to write a poem or a short story on any subject. Further details can be found on the competition website, www.write4fun.net.

For students who enjoy expressing opinions, the Whitlam Institute has a competition asking for a 400 to 600 word non-fiction prose piece on the topic “What matters?”. Entries close on 3 May. Further details of these competitions can be obtained from the English Faculty.

A co-curricular initiative by the Faculty is the new writing club “Wordsmiths”. This club is open to all secondary students who want to develop their creative writing skills. We will publish their efforts on our club moodle and in the pages of this newsletter. We will also encourage our writers to read their work at weekly assemblies. Mr. Brown, the Head of English, and myself will be the club patrons.

Finally, I would like to appeal to any parents who are in business to consider becoming a sponsor of the Les Murray Poetry Prize. Last year the College provided seed funding for the inaugural competition. However, this year I would like it to be cost neutral to the Secondary school. If you would like your business name to be associated with this prestigious prize, please contact me during school hours.

gaming roadshow

On Wednesday March 6 the Regional University Road show came to our College. As Mr Marshall (Southern Cross University student recruitment officer) has said “By pooling resources, Southern Cross University, Charles Sturt University and the University of New England are able to provide excellent advice to students in one visit, maximising the study options presented to students while minimising the amount of time students need to be away from the classroom.”

This short sharp focus on the future was very welcome and triggered the ‘the light on’ for so many students. ‘OK, it is time to set goals, research and work hard now…’ I was very proud of our Year 12 students as a captivated and intelligent audience. 2014 handbooks from these three universities are available in the Careers lounge.

A reminder to all Year 10 students that they need to apply and hopefully secure work experience for June 24-28 before the end of March. Paperwork must be submitted to the secondary office or to me. Thanks in advance to parents for your guidance and assistance with this worthwhile program for your son or daughter.

On Wednesday the 6th March the Gaming Roadshow presented in the Theatre. Students with an interest in developing their own games were able to attend. The aim of the show was to enable students to begin to program commercial quality games in a user friendly environment. The students all found the presentation excellent. The quality of the graphics, sound and animation were most impressive. Students should be now able to create a basic game and they will soon receive an email informing them how to access the software. Please check with your children about the download of the application, as it is almost 1 Gigabyte in size. Hopefully they will get some sunlight in-between some solid game programming sessions.

Brett Bennett and Rosey LangEnvironment Group Coordinators

student environment groupThe Student Environment Group conducted a highly successful Clean Up Australia Day event on Tuesday with a thorough clean up of school grounds. The group was very excited to participate in this activity and demonstrated not only their passionate environmental consciousness, but also an admirable pride in their school. One interesting observation from the students was the proliferation of plastic lollipop sticks among the litter. This provided a reminder to everyone involved, and a message to all students. Please be aware that these little sticks do not biodegrade and will most likely eventually end up in our waterways where the potential damage to the environment is substantial. Please remember to always put your rubbish in the appropriate bin, even very small items.

There is much enthusiasm for a proposed fundraiser later this term, which will involve our famous homemade cake stall - YUM! The students are also in the process of preparing grant applications as we endeavour to raise funds for the installation of a water refill station. Our P&F offshoot, “Friends of the Environment” is also planning to meet very soon - details to follow.

In the meantime here is some helpful tips for students (and parents) to lessen their environmental impact:Buy notebooks and folders made from recycled paper.• Learn how to print sustainably – double sided, black and white, two per page.• Purchase text books as e-books or second-hand.• Use low power settings on computers and switch off at the wall when not in use.•

Next week the primary school is focusing on International Day against Bullying and Violence. As part of the PDHPE program, we are working through issues of bullying behaviours and strategies to deal with these behaviours not only at school but everywhere. We are encouraging students who are bystanders to support people they see being bullied. Over the week we will be creating elephants that we will display in the playground, to remind students that bullying is sometimes ‘the elephant in the room.’ If you as parents are aware of your child being faced with a bullying situation I ask you to please let us know at school so we can work together to stamp out this kind of behaviour. Many children beg their parents not to tell, in the belief that it will get worse. I can assure you it very rarely does, as we work together to improve the situation. We all want every child to be happy and want to come to school every day.

The Creative Kids Club is a small group of very enthusiastic children whose aim is to crochet a blanket. We hope to be able to send our blanket to Cambodia with the Year 11 students in November, as a gift for a family there. We have started to learn how to crochet and will be making ‘Granny Squares’ that will be sewn together to make one big blanket. If you would like to be a part of our club, we would LOVE to have you! You may be able to crochet a square (or two!), provide a ball of wool or perhaps donate a size 4 crochet hook. We meet in Mrs Phillips’ Year 5 room every Monday at lunch time. Please email any enquiries to wphillips@bdc.nsw.edu.au

Jack The Dragon

Jack the naughty, nasty, mean, lonely, scared and fiercely piercing dragon lives in his wicked two storey house. His claws are blood red. His toes are golden. His teeth are razor sharp. His eyes are dark black. He is red. He has black spots. He has some red hair. The only dragon he likes is his cousin. He also likes his other cousin. He has golden armour.

In 2W this term, we have been writing narratives orientations and learning about how to make a story interesting by using adjectives. These are some of our story beginnings.

One sunny morning Joe, Beth and jack were flying in the hot air balloon that their grandad had given them for Christmas. It was the best present ever!

One bright morning, Emma, Ethan and Lachlan went out on a trip in a hot air balloon. They were going on an adventure with no adults. They were going to the Island of Death.

The Book Club Issue No. 2 booklets have been distributed and orders will close on Wednesday 20 March. Orders may be sent to school and handed to your child’s teacher at any time before that date. For parents who are new to Book Club as well as a reminder to those who have placed orders in the past, the following things need to be noted when filling out a Book Club order:

Fill out your child’s full name and class on the order form, clearly mark all items to be ordered.• Check the total of the order and enclose the correct money if paying cash.• Cheques must be made out in one of two ways – with “Scholastic Australia” (no variations on this) or “Bishop Druitt College”.• Credit card payments are made by telephone or online BEFORE you send the order to school. The information slip on the bottom • of the order form is sent to school with the Book Club order.Finally, and very importantly, put you completed order plus payment in a securely sealed envelope, which has your child’s full • name and class written on the front.

Thank you for your support of Book Club. Your orders enable us to receive extra books for our classrooms, library and teacher resources by way of a rewards system. Most importantly, it is a great way to keep our children reading.

If your child learns an instrument or sings and would like to perform at assembly please let your child’s teacher know and we can book them into the spotlight.

Primary Performance Choir (which includes some Year 5 and 6 students) have been invited to perform with the Combined Schools’ Choir at World Harmony Festival Day, Botanic Gardens, Coffs Harbour, Sunday 17 March at 9am.

Primary Music Camp is coming. Primary Performance Band, Primary Guitar Group and Superstrings are invited to attend this camp that will be held at Yarrahapinni Youth Centre, 23/24 March. The cost of the camp is $85, which includes overnight accommodation and amenities, meals, sheet music, tutorials and rehearsals. Please return permission notes with any dietary requirements to the Music Office no later than Friday 15 March 2013. Payment is required by this date, as numbers must be finalised then.

It’s AMEB registration time again! If your child has been nominated by their music teacher to sit for an AMEB exam, you will receive a letter next week. The closing date for registration is 15 March 2013, so your timely attention to the fee payment is required.

Alice Jamison is running Kodaly music classes for all children interested in music. The classes help to develop a child’s confidence in music as it enhances their understanding of the structure of music: developing pitch, rhythm and a strong inner ear. They are very much based in games and the children are given the opportunity to enjoy music in a relaxed environment. These classes are a great base for someone already learning an instrument or for a child interested in music and not yet ready to begin learning an instrument. Cost is $5 per lesson, to be paid termly. Please contact Alice Jamison at opusalice@gmail.com to book a place or for further information:

Senior Primary (3-6) - Monday 8am, M1Secondary - Thursday, 8am, M2Lower Primary (K-2) - Friday, 8am, Band Room

This band is in its infancy and we have great hopes for some great music with this group. Any secondary student who can play guitar, read music and able to practice their part at home or at school during their break times are welcome. There is no cost associated with the band.

Please contact Mr. Santo Cimino on 0407 292 444 or email scimino@bdc.nsw.edu.au for further information. Alternatively, contact the Music Office on 6651 5644 ext. 218 for further information.

The MNC Junior Rugby Union U12’s representative team was recently chosen, with Bishop Druitt College having 5 young players make the squad of 22. Jacob Oxley, Sam Parkes, Zane Misios, Tom Winchester and Lachlan Joseph all made the team, which will play against Hunter at Forster on 10th March.

BDC also sent two Year 5/6 teams to compete at the MNC Primary Rugby 7’s Gala Day on Thursday. Our Boys had a fantastic day and played some exciting 7’s style Rugby, and ended up playing off for 3rd and 4th place. Well done boys, and a big thank you to Mr Oxley and Mr Lang for coaching the teams. Training will continue for these boys in preparation for the TAS Rugby weekend at the end of Term 1.

The second round of grading matches will take place this weekend. There were some great games played last in the first round, but in particular the 5/6 Girls Division 1 team made a cracking come back after being 15-2 down at one point, to grab a dramatic 24-24 draw. In reality I think the girls might have one this game quite well, but they were a little rusty in the “shooting” department. I’m sure coach Rosy Lang will have them practicing hard this week, as will all the other teams.

CamBodia For parents tripAnnually, Year 11 students embark on a cultural/community service trip to Cambodia.

Following on from fundraising efforts during the year, students will build houses for impoverished villagers, and take part in a school improvement program as well as learn a lot about the food, culture and people of Cambodia. For some students this is a life changing experience, while for all students who go it is worthwhile to do something for others while learning that there is a greater world out there!

This Year BDC has decided to offer a similar tour to teachers and parents. As numbers are limited, if you are interested in coming along, can you please contact Karin Lisle over this weekend on: klisle@bdc.nsw.edu.au

You do not need to be a Secondary parent, all are welcome to come with us and share this fantastic tour. Information on the tour can be found via this link.
