A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER

I wish to thank the College community for the congratulations and best wishes that I have received

since the announcement of my permanent appointment as Headmaster of the College. I

appreciate and value the number of people who continually support the College and myself in

their prayers. I am confident that God will continue to watch over and guide the College and, that

by committing all things to him in prayer, together we will be able to achieve great things in His

name in the Macarthur region.

It is a privilege to lead a community such as Broughton. The College has been blessed with its rural

environment, the wonderful facilities, its committed and talented staff and a supportive and encouraging parent

body. However, it is the students of Broughton, past and present, who are a measure of the quality of the College

and how successful we are as an educational institution and in implementing our vision and mission.

As I commence this next stage of my leadership of the College, I feel it is appropriate and valuable for me to

reflect on the four aspects of leadership that I promised to follow, in my first speech as Interim Headmaster in July

2009. I would value feedback from the College community as to whether I have acted in a manner which reflected

the following characteristics of leadership in my first year as Head:

i) Seek to be a servant leader – seeking not to be served but to serve others

“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave to

all. For even the Son of Man, did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom to many.”

Jesus, Mark 10:43 - 45

ii) Seek to care for those that I lead

iii) Seek to lead by example, modeling Christ-like behaviour in my actions and my words

“Be shepherds of the flock that is under your care, serving as overseers – not because you must, but because you are

willing as God wants you to be; not greedy for money but willing to serve; not by lording over those entrusted to you

but by being examples to the flock.” 1 Peter 5:2-3

iv) Attempt to ensure that I aim to bring glory to God in all that I do

“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” Corinthians 10:30

Last July, I asked all members of the College community, to make me accountable to these aspects of leadership in

my role as Headmaster. I would value feedback as to whether you believe I continue to remain focused in

displaying these aspects of Christian leadership or do you feel that I am straying from the model of Christian

leadership as outlined by Christ.

Please feel free to give feedback either by talking to me or by emailing [email protected].

STAFFING MATTERS AND NEWS

Mrs Lyn Ames has tendered her resignation from the Cleaning Staff of the College due to family reasons. Mrs

Ames has worked with the College from March 2005 until December 2006 and again from September 2008 to May

Pitman and her family as she deals with the emotions and changes to family routines that are experienced as she

returns to full time work.

MOCK TRIAL

The Year 11 Legal Studies class is currently participating in the Mock Trial competition against schools from the

south-west region. This competition is coordinated by the Law Society of New South Wales.

The Mock Trial is a simulated court case competition for students of Years 10 and 11. The objective is to teach the

students about the law and judicial system in a simulated adversarial environment.

The Broughton Anglican College team consists of the following Year 11 students: Rebecca Blackburn, Rebecca

Dunshea, Grace Kilgour, Jarrad McCarthy, Zachary McLean, Pamela Ramirez, Victoria Tranby, Nathan Willard and

Isabella Zuzul. These students are very enthusiastic and passionate about applying what they have learnt in class in

a real life scenario.

We have competed against St. Patrick’s College (last year’s regional winners) and Mount Annan High School.

Round 1 was a practice run against St. Patrick’s. In Round 2 we won our court case against St. Patrick’s, but

unfortunately lost on the adjudication by the magistrate. The students were commended by the magistrate for

their excellent performance and their knowledge about the legal system.

In Round 3 we came up against Mount Annan High School. Our students were very nervous, because they

desperately wanted a win. Once again, our students were brilliant and determined to do their best. Our closing

statement was excellently written by our barristers and solicitor and well presented by one of the barristers. We felt

that there was no way that we could loose this case. We won the case as well as the Mock Trial against a very

competent Mount Annan High School team. Our first win! Once again the students were commended on their

excellent performance and they way they conducted themselves during the trial.

Now we await our next opponents in Round 4.

AICES FOOTBALL TRIALS

Earlier this term a number of Broughton students went on to represent the

College and the NASSA Association at the AICES Football Trials: Lucy

Chapman (Yr 9), Delfeayo Francis (Yr 10), Tayla Hallett (Yr 12), Alison

Milligan (Yr 11), Kelly Milligan (Yr 12), Chelsea Rix, (Yr 8) and Jesse Sapsed

(Yr 9).

Congratulations to these players for a fine effort.

Well done Tayla and Lucy for going on to represent the AICES Association

at the Combined Independent Schools trials.

STAFF PROFILES

DEBRA NOAKES

Mrs Debra Noakes is a member of the Mathematics Faculty. She has also taught Science and

worked with Numeracy support in the College. She and Chris (Property Department) have been

married for 30 years and have two children: Peter (Year 12, 2002) and Melissa (Year 12, 2005),

who is married to Anthony (‘Chucky’ from Anglican Youthworks at Port Hacking). She came to

Broughton after many years teaching in Public schools.

She and Chris are members of the congregation at St Lukes, The Oaks. In any free time, she

enjoys playing the piano (when no one else is listening!) and spending time with family and

friends. Mrs Noakes decided on teaching as a career when she was in Kindergarten and has never

really thought of any other vocation. Although she thrives on the excitement and challenges of teaching

Mathematics, her greatest joy in teaching at Broughton has been the privilege of sharing her love of Jesus with her

students and colleagues.

The Sound of Music is upon us and we are at the stage where we would love specific help with smaller areas. The

performance dates are Wednesday 23 – Saturday 26 June 7.30 pm and Matinee Sing-A-Long Saturday 26 June

BROUGHTON DEBATERS SPEAK WELL

The Broughton Stage 3 Debating Team has an exciting start to the IPSHA debating

competition. On Friday 7 May, Broughton hosted its first debate against Danebank Anglican

School. The topic considered the benefits of 2010 compare to 1960. The students considered

the impact of technology, medical advancements, communication and environmental changes

on the world today. The first debate was close, with Danebank winning the debate only by a

few points and 1960 being declared better than 2010. The second debate, where Broughton

argued the negative side, was declared in Broughton’s favour and 1960’s once again winning

over 2010.

I would like to thank Danebank Anglican School for such a well argued debate and the wonderful experience it was

to meet students from another school. The students and I would also like to thank Mr Bryant who gave up his

Friday to help adjudicate the debate and who was amazed by the strong team that we have put together this year.

He gave special mention to Mikaela Zagari for her well developed arguments and the use of examples that were

incorporated into her speech.

I would also like to thank the Junior School debating team for the time that they put into preparing the debate.

They met two recesses each week for two weeks and also spent time preparing their speeches and arguments

during their own time. Their enthusiasm for debating and representing Broughton was evident on the day with the

quality in which their speeches were delivered.

GRANDPARENTS’ DAY – MONDAY 17 MAY

We are all looking forward to this special event. Grandparents will be treated to a range of activities between

9am and 12.30pm, culminating in a picnic lunch with their grandchildren. We look forward to this day with great

excitement. Grandparents will need to bring their own picnic lunch and possibly a picnic chair, limited seating will

be available. There will be an opportunity for grandparents to purchase a book for the library that will be

dedicated to their grandchild.

Any grandparent wishing to take their grandchild home after lunch will require a signed permission note

from the parents.

NEW CRUNCH N SIP PROPOSAL

The teachers in the Junior School would like to trial a designated fruit break each

morning. Good eating habits formed during childhood help children grow well and

protect them against disease in later life. We are keen for feedback from parents on

what they think of such a proposal.

The teachers have proposed that each morning close to 10am all students and teachers

will eat a piece of fruit or vegetable, to recharge and get them through until recess. On

Monday 17 May there will be a launch of the concept at the Parents and Friends

Association. We would appreciate the thoughts and opinions of parents before we commence this trial.

STEPS

Statewide Eyesight Preschoolers Screening will be held on 24 and 28 May. Preparatory children will have the

opportunity to have their vision checked. As part of the South –Western Area Health Services, Denise Holtz, a

school nurse, will visit Broughton and conduct the screening.

PLANNING AND DEADLINES

Planning is a great motivator for many students and helps overcome many of the fears and

anxieties that children and adolescents may have.

By learning to plan their time, their actions, their budget, their social life and their activities,

they get a sense of control instead of feeling overpowered by external sources.

Planning is another form of “chunking”. It is supposed to ease the feeling of being

overwhelmed. Many students want to do or have things but have no idea how to get them.

They do

not even know the right questions to ask. Simple things, like preparing for a test, something our students

experience over and over again during their school years, present time management and technical challenges to

them. Being unable to plan their homework makes it seem hard and may discourage them from even starting.

USING A CALENDAR

Encourage your children to use a calendar.

When they are young, buy them a themed calendar that they like and teach them to use it every day. Here are

some things your children can write in their calendars that will teach them planning.

1. Homework

Write homework due dates, but also teach them the importance of finishing their homework as soon as possible,

when information is still fresh in their mind.

Page 8: A MESSAGE FROM THE C HAIRMAN, CAMPBELLTOW N … · A MESSAGE FROM THE C HAIRMAN, CAMPBELLTOW APPOINTMENT OF MR DON O’CONNOR AS PERMANENT As you may have already heard, the Campbelltown

BROUGHTON Newsletter - 8

2. Assignments

Write assignment due dates and plan backwards from them. Help them estimate how long it will take them to

complete each assignment and teach them to always have a "time buffer", just in case they need some more time.

One idea is setting a “family due date” for assignments a week before the official due date.

3. Special events

Birthdays, parties, trips, family gatherings

4. To do list

Bring sports gear to school, return library book, due dates of library books

5. Time table for out of school activities

Basketball practice 3.30 pm – 4.30 pm on Mondays, music lesson 6.00 pm – 6.30 pm on Wednesdays

6. Fun ideas for spare time

TIPS

The most important thing about using a calendar is not having it but using it. If you have a great calendar but

never use it, it has no value. Every day, make sure you help your child use their calendar. Go over their day and

teach them to write down all the things they can think of and clear some space in their mind. Every day, make sure

they look at the following day, week and month and plan what they need. The calendar can double up as a

monitoring and confidence boosting tool by checking completed assignments and even writing down impressions

and lessons learned.

Keep doing this until you are confident your child will use their calendar without your help.

FAMILY CALENDAR

Use a family calendar to be a role model and encourage family planning. A simple white board on a centrally

located door and some whiteboard markers will do the trick. Write down anything the family needs to take into

consideration when planning something new.

Encourage your children to add their activities in the family calendar to give them a sense of belonging and to

show their input is valued.

Encourage them to ask "who, what, when and where". Once they get into the habit of asking these questions, they

will be able to plan ahead better, because each question covers a different angle. For example, if they need to go

to music lesson, they would ask "Who will take me there?" or "How will I get there?", "What do I need to take with

me?", "When does it start?", "When should I practice?" and "Where are my notes?"

SUMMARY

1. Planning is a motivation technique that helps young people deal with their fear of the unknown

2. Use a calendar to teach planning

3. Use a family calendar to encourage collaboration and consideration between family members

4. Use the what, where, when, who and how question to practice planning ahead

WRITER OF THE WEEK

Our Writer of the Week is Alexandra Lovelock, of Year 8, for her imaginative poem on a leaf.

LEAF

Thin and fragile,

Long and torn.

The leaf lies withered

On the bent branch.

Twisting, writhing, pulling free

From the glue that holds its feet

Down to the silky ground.

Smelling fresh air,

Feeling the wind,

Seeing the offering grass

The taste of freedom is in the air.

Floating down like a silky feather

Graceful as a bird in flight

Sighing as it hits the ground

It’s time for sleep

His dreams are calling for him.

TURN EVERYDAY SHOPPING INTO FUNDRAISING DURING MAY AND JUNE

As outlined in last week’s newsletter, we are very excited to have been selected as one of thirty schools

participating in the 2010 My Macarthur Schools Challenge.

My Macarthur Schools Challenge 2010 is a program designed to encourage parents, students, teachers and friends

to shop at Macarthur Square in order to obtain dollars for our school for every dollar spent in centre. Every $1

spent at Macarthur Square will equal one school dollar during the challenge. At the end of the challenge, the ten

schools with the highest number of dollars per student will win a share in a prize pool of $40,000.

HOW IT WORKS

Parents, students, teachers and friends are rewarded for what they would normally do each week – shop at

Macarthur Square. To support our school, simply present your receipts to the Customer Service Desk on Level 1.

An interactive, instant tally screen will be on display so you know how our school is tracking throughout the entire

challenge. If you cannot always get down to the Customer Service Desk, make sure you keep your receipts and

drop them off in one of the boxes located in either the IRC, Junior School Office or Secondary Learning Centre.

We will then collate receipts and on a regular basis present them to the Customer Service Desk. Remember, to get

into the habit of asking for a receipt and keep them all (regardless of the quantum). Every dollar can make a

difference.

On the above three bonus days, every $1 spent at Macarthur Square will be worth two school dollars. Bonus

double up day receipts will only be valid on the actual bonus day, so you need to make time to go to the

Customer Service Desk on these dates. Please note that if presented on a day outside the bonus day period, only

one point per dollar will be allocated

When you are shopping at Macarthur Square, don’t forget that a benefit of the being part of the P&F is that you

can also get discounts as well as further our fundraising by shopping at:
