PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Welcome back to Term 3. We return with sad and heavy hearts after the loss of our Year 10 student Jack who, together with his sister Jennifer, had their lives tragically taken from them at the end of last term.

Jack was a valued member of our school. He had friends across all year groups and will be fondly remembered for his sense of humour and clever wit.

This has been an enormous shock for our school community and has also had a huge effect on the wider community beyond our gates. The sheer magnitude of the outreach we have received shows the impact of this tragedy and therefore I have several very important thank yous to make:

Thank you to everyone who sent condolences including Mr Matt Keen and Mr Julian Leeser our local members, Mr Mark Scott, Secretary of Education and Mr Murat Dizdar, Deputy Secretary of Education;

Thank you to Mrs Sharon Ford, Ms Emma Kriketos and Mr Dean White, Directors Educational Leadership, for their support on the last day of school when the devastating news was received. They assisted not only myself, but our Senior Executive, staff and students as we came to terms with what had happened;

Thank you to the many Principal colleagues from neighbouring schools both primary and secondary, and the numerous past Principals, staff and parents who have contacted us to offer their commiserations and support. They have all collectively been of great comfort;

Thank you to Ms Therese Hourigan, Principal Crestwood High School, the staff of Normanhurst Boys High School and Cherrybrook Technology High School who made themselves available to relieve our teachers so that we could support our students on the day and of course, the Principals who enabled this. Their collegial assistance was very much appreciated and crucial to the way we were able to help each other;

Thank you to the team of Counsellors who were available for staff and students in need of extra assistance on the day; and most importantly

Thank you to our staff and students who have found strength in each other and have shown their resilience in a crisis proving that together we can get through the most difficult of circumstances. I spoke of this Penno strength when addressing our students at assembly before the holidays. I was, and continue to be, proud and impressed with the way they have conducted themselves and supported each other and their teachers. It has

underlined the importance of having a positive and connected school.

Our thoughts remain with Ms Olga Edwards, Jack and Jennifer’s mother, their family and friends. It is difficult to find the right words to comfort them at this time, however, I am reassured to learn that there has been a registry started to organise meals for Ms Edwards and her mother over the next few months. Anyone wishing to contribute to this worthwhile cause can contact the coordinator Mrs Jacqueline Leach via email at [email protected] for a link to the meal registry. I thank and congratulate Mrs Leach for taking the initiative to assist the family in such a thoughtful and useful way.

Amidst all the turmoil of the past few weeks, the term commenced with the Year 9 and 10 Parent-Teacher Interview Evening which was followed by the Year 10 Subject Selection Evening. Both events were well attended and as always many positive comments were received from our families. Once again, thank you to our staff for their dedication and commitment to the education of our students and thank you to the organisers Mrs Campbell, Head Teacher Student Wellbeing and Mr Niccol, Deputy Principal (Relieving) for your coordination of the events.

Our school community came together last Thursday at the Student Leadership Council (SLC) Induction.

We were honoured to have Ms Stephanie Koch, School Captain, Class of 2001 attend as our Guest Speaker. Stephanie spoke in great detail about the way her own leadership skills were developed during her time here at Penno. When I spoke to Stephanie afterwards and thanked her, she replied “I can’t think of a place I’d rather be…”

Thank you to the outgoing leadership team for your valuable contributions to our school. You have ably supported and developed the traditions of student leadership at Penno and have been wonderful mentors to your peers.

Congratulations to the incoming SLC. I look forward to working with you all throughout the next year as you provide a student voice to the decisions that we make and work with us all to ensure our school is an even better place to be.

A huge thank you to Miss Eliza Morton and Mr Ross Banyai, SLC Coordinators, for their expert organisation and hard work behind the scenes to ensure that the assembly ran smoothly.

In closing, I would like to wish our Year 12 cohort good luck as they commence their HSC Trials next week. We are confident your preparation will hold you in good stead as you begin the next phase of your journey to the Higher School Certificate.

A TRIP TO THE ARCHIBALD

Last term, Year 10 Visual Arts classes attended the Archibald Prize Exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The Archibald Prize is a portraiture exhibition that is awarded annually to the best portrait, 'preferentially of some man or woman distinguished in art, letters, science or politics, painted by any artist resident in Australasia’.

The students genuinely enjoyed the excursion and will be using it as a source of inspiration for their Term 3 work. Comments included: “I liked being with the two classes and seeing the different ranges of

artworks and the artist’s stories behind them” and “The excursion gave me an insight into the artist’s world. It showed me the priceless artworks that demonstrated the

detail and beauty of portraits”.

Kristen Van Ede and Lauren Erickson, Visual Arts Teachers

BIRDS: SCULPTURE AND DOCUMENTED FORM UNIT

In Term 2, Year 11 Visual Arts students created a sculpture exploring birds as the subject matter. They researched artists that used unusual materials in their artworks, and artists who may have employed similar techniques, as well as artists who made assemblages of found objects tied together with wire and actual birds. They had to include a kitchen object in their sculptures. It was challenging at the start and really made the students think about how they were going to approach the task, but once they were on the way they really enjoyed the process. The completed works were unified with copper spray and black patina.

Once the sculptural form was complete they took photographs as documented forms with of the sculpture with its caste shadow. They did this in the dark of the Darkroom with a spotlight. As you can see the photographs are very exciting. Well done Year 11.

YEAR 7 WOLSELEY INSPIRED DRAWING UNIT

Year 7 recently created a multimedia layered journey drawing inspired by the artist John Wolseley. Wolseley is an Australian artist who travels through the outback recording what he sees, hears and feels in his art. His work has multiple views, closeup, distance, graphs and thoughts all in the one work.

The class traced around frames and kitchen appliances using either warm or cool coloured chalk pastels. They drew kettles, jugs and bottles in lead and coloured pencils. The work was completed with large letters. Their visual interpretations of a still life in a landscape were very successful.

Kirsty Clark, Visual Arts Teacher

YEAR 9 VISUAL ARTS EXCURSION AND LANDSCAPE COLLAGE AND DRAWING UNIT

Year 9 recently studied the landscape artists Jeffrey Smart and Christo. They analysed the artists’ intentions and the techniques they used to impart their ideas in visual form. The class went on an information gathering excursion to Circular Quay and the surrounding area. They took photographs and completed full page drawings in their Visual Arts Process Diaries. Back at school, they uploaded the images and chose their favourite photograph to print in A4 size. This image was sketched up onto bainbridge board and a collage of an aerial map was glued down to add interest. Over the following weeks, the drawing was developed to stress the textures and tones of the water, sky and buildings. Their responses to landscape are very varied. The completed drawings will be displayed in the Annual Visual Arts Exhibition in Term 3. Well done Year 9.

Drama Ensemble Evening 2018 A chilly night was made warm with laughter, nervous energy and expert comic timing when we staged our first Drama Ensemble performance of the year.

The evening featured a fast-paced and energetic performance of Michael Pryor’s The Wonderful Wide World of People, showcasing Pennant Hills High School’s depth of dramatic talent across Years 7, 8, 9 and 10.

The ensemble included students: Sofie, Mitchell, Jared, April, Charles, Jordan, Ruby, Svetlana, Sachi, Beth, Elliott and Zoe. Miss Amy Crilley and I provided support and helped with the organisation and direction of the group.

Family, friends and staff who attended were not disappointed as the stage was filled with crazy and hilarious characters from car eaters, talking trees and synchronised triplets! The evening marked an exciting and successful debut performance for many, but we know that that is just the beginning and we all look forward to the next entertaining showcase in coming terms.

Special thank you to Ms Deborah Feilen, English Teacher and Miss Janelle Dennis, Head Teacher CAPA for their assistance in helping the evening run smoothly.
