current practises is to help us consider and implement creative learning experiences for our students that will prepare them for what lies ahead. Whilst there is much ambiguity in the future, we need to foster in our young people the skills and dispositions to not only survive, but to thrive. “Purpose endows a person with joy in good times and resilience in hard times, and this holds true all throughout life.” William Damon, The Path to Purpose, 2008.Mrs Anne DunstanPrincipal

From the Deputy Principal5 Mental Health Habits to Promote in KidsMuch has been written about promoting positive mental health within children and ways in which health organisations, schools and parents can partner together to assist in the overall wellbeing of young people. Recently I read this article from Michael Grose titled ‘5 Mental Health Habits to Promote in Kids’. The points he raises are not necessarily revolutionary but rather serve as an important reminder of simple strategies to promote positive mental health when life so quickly can become extremely busy and the demands on our time increase. I hope the article proves to be useful as we continue to work together to educate, care and support our students at Pulteney.

“Shouldn’t all children naturally have good mental health habits? After all, childhood is supposed to be a pretty relaxed time of life, free from the pressures and stresses that can come with adulthood. Sadly, it doesn’t seem that way. According to the Australian Psycho- logical Society one in seven Australian children experience some type of mental health issue, with ADHD, anxiety and depression being the most common kind. Having good mental health doesn’t mean that kids don’t experience difficulties or worries. Feeling worried, sad or fearful is normal. Kids who are mentally healthy are equipped to handle many of life’s curve balls that come their way. They also don’t let their emotions overwhelm them. As a result, they learn better and have more friends as well. As a parent it’s useful to reflect on the mental health habits that you promote in your kids. Here are five basic mental health habits that you can consider right now:1. Sleep: Sleep is the one of the building blocks of mental health and well-being. Many children and just about all teenagers are sleep-deprived at the moment. Many parents are sleep-deprived as well! Children need between 10 and 12 hours sleep to enable proper growth and development, while teenagers need a minimum of nine hours. One of the single, most powerful strategies to improve kids’ ability to cope with stressful or changing situations is to ensure they get enough sleep.2. Exercise: When my mum told me all those years ago to turn the television off and go outside and play she didn’t know that she was promoting good mental health. She just knew that physical activity was a good thing for an active, growing boy. Kids today get less exercise than those of past generations, which is an impediment to mental health. Exercise stimulates the chemicals that improve mood and release the stress that builds up over a day. An hour’s movement per day seems the minimum for kids. How much exercise does your child receive?3. Help others: Social isolation is a huge predictor of poor mental health. Encourage your child to be connected to others and to help others in any way possible. Helping others reinforces social connectedness and the importance of being part of a community, as well as providing opportunities for positive recognition.4.Talk: A problem shared is a problem halved! Talking about what’s worrying you is a great way to remove the burden of worry and reduce anxiousness. Some kids bottle up what’s inside, while others will catastrophise a situation, which can make matters seem worse. If your child or young person has a problem let him know that his concerns are important to you. Kids often can’t tell you what may be wrong, so be observant and gently ask questions to help you get a clearer picture of how they may be feeling.5. Relaxation: Make sure your child or young person has a hobby or activity that relaxes them. The ability to relax and get away from the stresses of everyday life is essential. Some children who have real difficulty switching-off may benefit from practising meditation or mindfulness, but most kids just need to have the time to chill out, and they’ll relax quite naturally.These five habits are basic common sense. However, as kids’ lives get busier these essentials get squeezed out. Here’s my recommendation to ensure that mental health habits don’t get overlooked or neglected.First, see these habits as the building blocks of mental health. Don’t ignore them or trivialise them. Talk to your children and tie these activities to their mental health but do so in your own way and in your own timeframe.Second, assess which of these five essential habits need your attention and make some adjustments over time to push the pendulum back, if necessary, in favour of your child’s mental health.With the mid way point of term now passed, students and staff are busily involved in a wide range of learning tasks before the mid-year break is upon us. Some students have recently returned from camp and are getting back into school routine; however, all will need our support to help them carefully manage their study, co-curricular and family commitments to ensure they remain on top of things during the remainder of term two.”Greg AttertonDeputy Principal

From the ChaplainPentecost Inspiration - Gift Of The SpiritWhen we feel inspired, we feel fired up and energised. To be inspired means to be filled with the spirit, the breath of God. In an attempt to more fully understand the Holy Spirit, it is literally, allegorically and symbolically connected with many things, for example wind, fire, passion, inspiration, healing, courage, peace, the dove and eagle, and unity.

In many church traditions, the Holy Spirit is represented with maternal imagery and connected with the feminine character Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom). There is something untamed about the spirit as it forges strong links with creativity, passion and the hard work of justice seeking.The coming of the Holy Spirit to Jesus’ followers at Pentecost fifty days after Easter is celebrated by Christians as the birth of the church. For us today, we want the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire us to change the world for the better. For me the mystery of the Christian faith has been firmly grounded in the explanatory, but in no way simplifying notion of the Trinity. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity holds that God is three consubstantial persons the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit, as ‘one God in three Divine Persons’. As important as the Holy Spirit is, I have often wondered why Pentecost is not as big a celebration in the church and the wider community, as say Christmas or Easter? Is it because it is just too hard to explain? Perhaps it is not seen as important or belongs more in the personal realm? The New Testament speaks of the Holy Spirit in terms of a mighty wind, speaking in tongues, acting as though you are full of new wine!, or on fire with the energy and love of God. It is often represented as ecstatic, joyous and unimaginably powerful. Saint Paul teachers that the fruits of the Holy Spirt include: love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, generosity, gentleness, self-control and wisdom. Old Testament’s refences tend to emphasise the importance of Spirit led leadership that empowers others, as being the only way forward. The only way to avoid constantly falling back into ways that deny our humanity: habits that cause us to dwell on negativity, dishonestly complain and blame others, whilst romanticising the past.We may not know how to eloquently and convincingly explain the divine presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives but we do instinctively understand that we need the Holy Spirit if we are to be more fully God’s Kingdom here on earth. We all desire the abundant life that God promises, we desire it for ourselves and for others. Living out his mystery is as precious as breath. It gives us life. As breath, the Holy Spirit enables to be powerful agents for good in the world. The presence of the Holy spirit is demonstrated every time we:• choose to seek or freely give forgiveness• strive to be peacemakers who rise to the challenge of resolving tensions, disagreement and conflict between family, friends, even nations• choose reconciliation over retaliation.• breathe new life into organisations and our relationship with people who have had their hearts deadened by greed, selfishness or apathy.Every time, we breathe the new life of the Holy spirit into our world.

Pentecost PrayerCome Holy SpiritInspire and enliven us.Come Holy SpiritInfuse our creativity.Come Holy SpiritFire us up for justice.Live with us and within usThat your power may change the world through us. Amen.

What’s News?Student IllnessAs Winter approaches we would like to remind you we have a number of Students in our school community who have compromised immune systems. As you can imagine, schools are great places for infectious diseases to spread, so it is important adults take on the responsibility to ensure the potential for infection is minimised. Gastro and flu type illnesses are once again amongst us and so it is timely to remind parents that if your child is presenting with vomiting, diarrhoea, coughs or other infectious illness symptoms, they should remain absent from school for a minimum period of 24 hours after symptom cessation. This is so they do not infect others and includes any student who has a temperature above 37.5 CChicken pox, shingles and measles are notifiable infectious diseases. If your child has one of these diseases verified by a doctor, it is important you notify the school immediately.It is important we all adhere to this policy to minimise student and staff illness during the school year.

Thankyou for your support

Performing ArtsSunday Soiree!On Sunday 4 June, 10 young musicians gathered to perform solo in front of a small but enthusiastic audience. The performers ranged from year 3 Matthew Zhong playing guitar to Year 10 Chelsea Goodes who sang up a storm. These small soiree’s are designed to give young musicians an opportunity to perform solo in front of a supportive and friendly audience so they can gain valuable experience managing performance nerves and develop a resilience to performance anxiety. There is nothing like actually performing to a live audience to build the skills needed to become a successful young musician. I was really pleased to see a spread of drummers and guitarists take advantage of this soiree. We have another planned for Sunday 16 September, 4pm. Don’t forget to put this date in your diary. We will begin gathering a list of performers in term 3.

Music Students Enjoy Elder Conservatorium Concert!On Friday, 17 students enjoyed a magnificent performance at the Elder Conservatorium Hall (University of Adelaide) where the Elder Con Orchestra combined with some of the members from the famed Adelaide Symphony Orchestra to present an interesting and exciting program based around an improvised classical work from The Firebird, by Stravinsky. This work demonstrated the high value and musical worth of classical improvisation and freer compositional techniques. What came from this performance was a challenging and very interesting new version of The Firebird that we all know and love. At the end of the concert, we heard movement 5 and 6, Infernal Dance of King Kastchei then Lullaby and Finale (from The Firebird). In between the concert book ends of Stravinsky we heard the Mother Goose Suite by Maurice Ravel. “Totally yummy music”! What a tremendous program, we all enjoyed it very much.

Music & Coffee in The QuadCoffee in the Kurrajong Quad was again supported today by the Performing Arts Faculty with the Finn Brunning Combo playing to a small but enthusiastic crowd.Last Fridays’ group was supplemented by 2016 Old Scholar Nakita Dahm, who filled in for a missing member. Nikita is currently studying music at the University of Adelaide. It was great to have Nikita back with us today.Don’t miss this Friday as we have the Grammaphones Choir and several outstanding solo singers presenting music from 8.10 till about 8.35am.

Community International Archives Day Friday June 9 is International Archives Day. This year the theme is Archives, Citizenship and Interculturalism.Many of you might be unclear what archives are and what an archivist does. The International Council on Archives summarises it thus:Archives record decisions, actions and memories. Archives are a unique and irreplaceable heritage passed from one generation to another. Archives are managed from creation to preserve their value and meaning. They are authoritative sources of information underpinning accountable and transparent administrative actions. They play an essential role in the development of societies by safeguarding and contributing to individual and community memory.Many different organisations have archives and in Australia one of the most active groups of archivists are the school archivists. In every state, groups of school archivists get together regularly to network, share information and celebrate what we do. School archives are complex, diverse and challenging. Items in school archives include photographs, trophies, uniforms, old year books and other publications, documentary evidence of business activities such as student files, minutes of meetings and educational information to name a few.We are fortunate at Pulteney to have a school archives that has been established for many, many years. Our school values its history and celebrates it. Look in the hallways of Wheaton House as one example, or the recently conducted walking tours of school buildings held as part of South Australia’s History Festival. As archivists we celebrate International Archives Day by bringing what we do to the world.

Middle School & Prep SchoolThe Voice: make a noise and make it clearI’ve often posed the question to my students: who would I be without my voice? Who would they be without their voices? Could we learn? As a teacher, my voice reaches into classrooms where it is (mostly!) respectfully listened to, acted upon, laughed with, and given cheek. In my nearly thirty years in the classroom of life, it has been, and continues to be, my privilege to share my voice with my students’ voices. Together, we listen, we talk, and our journey towards knowledge and understanding continues.

This past week has seen Australia celebrate National Reconciliation Week (27 May-3 June). During this week, of all weeks, a voice speaks to us. And we must stay and listen to it. Because it speaks with the wisdom and dignity of the great statesman, Noel Pearson, whose advocacy of indigenous people stills even the fiercest hearts. It speaks with the beauty of Lance Franklin (in a code, I, for one, have not truly forgiven for its treatment of Adam Goodes) who kicks five goals on the weekend wearing a guernsey bearing the number ‘67’ on the back, referencing the great, shining moment at the polls in 1967 when the Referendum said ‘Yes’ to Aboriginal Australians. And it speaks with the poignancy of former CNN correspondent, Stan Grant, who returns from war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, only to wrestle with the demons that have bedevilled him since boyhood when his high school masters suggested to him that pursuing further education was pointless. When Pearson wrote in The Weekend Australian last Saturday (27 May) that, “Empowerment can come through having a voice,” he speaks to the need for First Peoples to not only be constitutionally recognised but for their voices to take their rightful place in our parliament.

Last week at Uluru, the Referendum Council, co-chaired by two remarkable women in Pat Anderson and Megan Davis, convened to decide on the “crucial next step” in that process. The result is the Uluru Statement from the Heart which endorses a Makarrata (‘Treaty’) between members of First Nations and the Commonwealth of Australia. It will be our current generation of students, possibly now in Years 7-12, who will most likely endorse this model for recognition at the polling booths. It will be their moment to progress our nationhood. It will be their 1967. It’s mine, too, come to think of it.

It’s now a long time since lightning rod signposts have lit our way. Since the 1938 Day of Mourning; since that Referendum; since Prime Minister Gough Whitlam poured ochre soil into Vincent Lingiari’s outstretched hand in 1975 and we knew that from “little things, big things (might) grow”; since 1993’s Native Title Act informed by the courage of Eddie Mabo; since Prime Minister Keating’s heroic address in a Redfern park; since the 1997 publication of the ‘Bringing Them Home’ Report. It’s even nearly ten years since Kevin Rudd’s Apology to the Stolen Generations. As I tell my Year 10 History and Human Rights students, they will determine the next lightning rod milestone. They must take up the healing stick. Aboriginal people have been waiting a long time for their voices to be heard and for the empathetic voices of all Australians to join their call. But as Stan Grant reminded the audience on Monday night’s (29 May) episode of ‘Q&A’, “never underestimate the patience and persistence of indigenous people.” The wait since ’67 has been long. Another shining moment is here. Just there.

The Australian Curriculum (K-10) rightfully recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures as one of its key cross-curricular priorities. Across the Humanities we are entrusted to build capacity in the heart. In those lessons we show

our students that democracy is a dynamic, contested force and that they can choose to progress our nation by listening and learning; by speaking and arguing; by remembering and acting. At Pulteney, our students are not “stateless” as Pearson heartbreakingly described feeling in his weekend newspaper column. Our students belong. They belong to their families, to our community and to our nation. Their advocacy for those without that same sense of belonging-without even the sense of ‘home’-gives me great hope. A hope, I trust, that overcomes fear. From the heart.

Art for the Pulteney Grammar School 170th Gala Ball I am pleased to advise the community that some of our artistically talented students in the Prep School have been selected to create artwork that will be offered for auction at the Pulteney Grammar School 170th Gala Ball in August. This aligns with our vision at Pulteney Grammar School that highlights our belief that students can be gifted in a variety of domains, and in this instance, artistically. The benefits for the students will be that they will be able to work with other students of a similar ability in a small group situation, using their artistic talents for a wonderful event which supports our community. The students in the Prep School will be working with Meredith Phillips, Sally Sanders and Anna Mahoney. We congratulate the following Prep students for their selection.

We will be tasting a variety of fabulous malts which will be accompanied by a sumptuous two course dinner with per-haps the odd drop of red on hand.

The cost of this event is $125 per head and we are restricted to 80 participants. Be sure not to miss this event – come straight from work or casually dressed (kilts option-al)! To reserve your seats and make payment, please visit https://www.trybooking.com/QKZY by Wednesday 7 June June, but don’t delay as this is bound to be a sell-out evening.
