FORTNIGHTLY NEWS AND EVENTS FOR ST GEORGE’S PARENTS
From the Principal Tina Campbell
As we conclude Term Two, it is important to reflect on all that has occurred in what has been a highly unpredictable term. We have weathered the storm, however, and now reach the end of Term Two celebrating our many fine achievements. It is hard to believe that we are already halfway through the year! There has been academic growth, growth in maturity, the development of positive relationships and an attitude of service abounding in all areas.
Congratulations to all students this term on their academic growth and their willingness to take responsible risks in their learning. Semester 1 Reports will be published for parents, guardians and carers by Monday 4 July, enabling families to check on the students’ progress to date and open discussions about goal setting for Semester Two. Thank you to our staff: teaching, support and administrative, for their unwavering hard work and commitment to support each other and minimise disruptions this term, which has enabled us once again to have a safe, engaging, and productive term despite the COVID, cold and ‘flu obstacles that have seemed insurmountable at times.
The buzz associated with school life has returned and whilst we continue to remain cautious in our approach, we have excitedly been able to see the full involvement return as we have welcomed families back onto campus, hosted a variety of special social events including the much-anticipated Year 12 Hollywood School Ball and provided a residential camp experience for our year groups. We are back to celebrating the energy, enthusiasm and effervescent that makes St George’s Anglican Grammar School such a special place to learn and grow.
As we conclude the term, we say a very fond farewell to several staff heading off on long service leave or to new positions elsewhere. Mrs Susan Lazenby departs St George’s, after many years of dedicated service to the school, for long service leave where she will enjoy the finer things in life before beginning her retirement in 2023. Mr Thomas Hatton leaves us to take up a new teaching role at St Mark’s Anglican Community School. Ms Scheele is heading off to tour our state and experience the wonders of Western Australia for her long service leave before returning to us re-energised in Term Four.
I am looking forward to Term Three with a renewed sense of normality, predictability and routine expected to be in place. We have much to look forward to – the Mid-Year Academic Awards Assembly, Year 10 Camp, Inter-House Athletics, NAIDOC Week celebrations, Science Week and all that this entails with Ms Donovan and her team, the Anglicare Sleep Out, Open Day and finally a new and exciting Mandela Charity Day. 1

I wish all students and their families and our staff a well-earned break and safe travels to those venturing away from home to the regions, interstate or overseas with the WA borders now open.
Holidays are such a great time to just take a moment to be thankful for the people who bring joy to our lives.
I look forward to welcoming everyone back to Term Three fresh faced and ready for another action-packed term on Tuesday 26 July. Over the break, I trust that you will all find the time for rest, relaxation, and recuperation or, as Father Gift urged us as Chapel this week, to seek to ‘update’ ourselves like our iPhones over this holiday break.
Whatever you have planned, I wish you all a wonderful holiday break. Kind regards Mrs Tina Campbell

The winter solstice has past, the mornings are brisk and the sun is creeping over the horizon a little earlier. This always signals the end of Semester One and the start of the winter recess. During the school holidays, the administration team will be working on the Co-Curricular schedule for Term 3. There is still time to submit selections using this link Term 3 Co-Curricular Selection Form, which closes at midnight on Monday 4 July. A reminder that students must wear their blazers to and from the School every day of Term Two and Term Three. Year 12 students are to wear their blazers on Mondays as this is a requirement for Chapel and any formal occasion. Another part of the uniform is the school backpack or drag back. No other bags are to be used to and from School. To carry books for lessons during the school day, students can now purchase book bags with our logo. These are well made, sturdy bags designed for this purpose and although not mandatory, they are well priced at $15. Other school merchandise is also available: refillable water bottles for $10 and laptop bags for $20. These can be purchased from the Receptionists.

This term, and indeed the semester, end on an unusual note for me. After four decades of being part of the education sphere, I am going on Long Service Leave and moving on to a new phase of life in 2023. St George’s new Head of Operations is Mrs Shannon Allen who I know will be welcomed by the School Community as all our family members are. Being part of this community is a privilege and I value the years spent at St George’s, from its beginning as a foundation staff member, to the present with the excitement of what is yet to come with the new school location at 441 Murray Street. I wish you all well and a safe, happy holiday.

Chaplain’s Corner What a lovely experience Term Two has been for me, my first full term at St George’s Anglican Grammar School. A lot of great things happened during this term. It was such an amazing experience to resume Chapel services at the Cathedral as the whole school, kicking it off in style with our St George’s Day celebration. It was such a wonderful experience for me to hear the story of St George’s, especially his faith and bravery, which are reflected in the core values of our School. The Parent Teacher interviews and the School Inter-House Cross Country Carnival allowed me the opportunity to meet some parents of the students that I mix and mingle with every day of the week here at School. We also celebrated the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, the School InterHouse Cross Country awards, Reconciliation Day, and what a lovely picture it was during our Pentecost Day Service when we raised hundreds of colourful balloons in Chapel!
reconciliation movement and deliver tangible and substantive benefits for First Nations people and increase cultural safety in the School.
Another memorable event for me was the Year 12 Ball, which we celebrated last week at the Ambrose Estate.
It is my hope that our first meeting will be just before NAIDOC week in mid-July. If you are interested in joining the School RAP Committee, please email me directly at gmakwasha@stgeorges.wa.edu.au.
Something to look forward to next term is the commencement of the School Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Committee. Currently, six teachers have joined the RAP Committee and we will appoint one or two student representatives. We would also like to invite two or three parents to join the Committee. The RAP Committee will work closely with the Anglican School Commission (ASC) to develop the St George’s RAP, giving the School a framework to contribute to the

And finally, our Year 9 students went ten-pin bowling at Strike Bowling during Week 9. I have never seen that level of excitement at 3:30 pm on a Thursday afternoon. Students were broken into random groups for bowling to support them in getting to know other students in their year group. Everyone enjoyed pizza and cool drinks during their game. The social was topped off with some karaoke. Here is what some of the students said about the event:
It has been an active final few weeks of term with several socials taking place, along with our Year 8 camp. Such events play a key role in developing lifelong friendships with the opportunity to create new friendships. Our Year 8 students went to Dare Adventures Camp in Dwellingup. The focus during this camp was resilience and teamwork. The students’ resilience was put to the test from the very start with heavy rain and cold weather, but they embraced it completely. One of the students had the following to say after camp:
In Week 8 the Year 8s went on camp. We had loads of fun and great teachers came along to enjoy the experience. Dare Adventures had incredible activities for us to do, like Kayaking, crate climbing, and abseiling! Many of us conquered a few fears during each activity but had a load of fun. It was a great experience to hang out with friends and get to know people better, as well as the teachers. - Juliette Andrews:
The social was legendary; we all had a bunch of fun. There was karaoke, bowling, and food. I said “Geez Louise” when I tasted that lemonade, I’m sure other kids thought the same! The event was managed well, and I even decided to leave my phone at school FOR ONCE, which was a good experience because we all got to connect with each other. Shout out to Miss Pedler, Mr Hardman, and all the other teachers involved in organising the event! - Aramis Surtees:
On 23 June the Year 9s enjoyed a fun night out at Strike Bowling. After fitting ourselves with retro shoes, we were split into teams ready to hit the lanes. Many spares and strikes were scored during the evening and zero gutter balls were bowled (due to a little help from the bumper rails). To keep up our energy, pizza and soft drinks were handed out. Congratulations to Jai Cooper for taking out the overall victory with the highest score. Following the bowling, we all made our way to the karaoke room to sing our hearts out. Justine Bieber and Taylor Swift tunes being the most popular. Thanks to the teachers for organising such a great Year 9 social event.
The Year 7 Silent Disco was held at School on Friday 17 June. Students all loved the wireless headsets and choice of three channels of music. The colourful lights, balloons and streamers made for a fun party atmosphere. Everyone who attended had a fantastic time and enjoyed singing and dancing with their friends. The Year 12 Guild members attended and made sure the best

Term Three Parent Teacher Interviews You are now able to book in your Parent Teacher Interviews for Term Three.
Holiday Study for Year 12 ATAR Students There are officially 122 days until WACE exams! With these exams fast approaching, by far the best way to prepare is by doing practice papers. In our current version of the Western Australian Curriculum, there are 6 years (2016 – 2021) of past papers that our Year 12 students can access online. Each year, SCSA provides the past paper, a detailed marking key and an examiner’s report that details the common mistakes made per question. There is no better recommendation for the extended holiday break than for our Year 12 ATAR students to spend half this time completing past papers under timed conditions, and then proceeding to mark their work. Link to download past WACE exam papers.

memberships of clubs and societies, competitions you have entered and the way in which you give back to your community. The Dean of Trinity College, Ms Leonie Jongenelis, explained that in today’s environment, your co-curricular activities can help you secure entry into courses as this can be a big indicator of your character, determination, and your potential. Universities are beginning to look beyond academic results to judge the merit of a person, and rightly so. For people who would like to keep their options open to attend an overseas or interstate university, or if you are considering entry to university following a non-academic pathway, you should reach out to one of your teachers or to myself to discuss what other cocurricular activities or volunteering opportunities in which you would like to be involved to help you to obtain your goals.
If you have ever watched an American school-based movie, you might be familiar with plots where teenagers volunteer in their community or become more involved in school life to help them get into a top university. Here in Western Australia, much of our university admission system focuses on grades. However, this is slowly changing. Today there is more than just one pathway to get into a good university after graduating.

In Scott’s novel, a young teacher arrives in a remote settlement in Western Australia in search of his own history, his Aboriginality and his future. The beautifully written novel explores the complexities of what it is to belong. While his writing is exquisite, I also enjoyed the plot as it is set in and around Broome where I have spent some time. There is something quite magical about the landscape in the far north that Scott really manages to capture. A school of the Anglican Schools Commission Inc.

Clickview is also featuring a wide variety of programs for NAIDOC Week. “Get up!’ “Stand Up!” “Show up!” is explored through a number of programs and teacher resources exploring the culture and history of Aboriginal peoples.
“Get up!’ “Stand Up!” “Show up!” NAIDOC Week starts on 3 July. The Laurence Library has a news page on Oliver featuring books and programs related to NAIDOC Week. We also have a display on the School eboards and BookFlix also features works by Aboriginal authors. The Library has a growing collection of Aboriginal authors. For example, we have a new publication, The Boy from the Mish by Gary Lonesborough. Written for young adults, this book explores themes of family, friendship and love. It is a wonderful, First Nation, coming of age novel.
Clickview can be accessed through the Oliver homepage and SEQTA. It is available to all staff and students. The Library regularly adds resources to the School Library and shares information about new updates.
Amongst others, we also have novels by local Noongar writer, Kim Scott. His first novel, True Country, is one of my favourite books. Loosely based on his own experiences as a recent graduate teacher, the novel explores ideas of belonging.
Recently, the Library received a generous donation of a partly completed Lego Hogwarts castle. Next term the Library will host a Hogwarts week with a variety of activities related to the Harry Potter series. Students will be invited to complete the castle and then we can display the model with our collection of Harry Potter novels.

Mr Conrad Sloan will be joining our Phys Ed Team for Semester Two to cover the Long Service Leave of Ms Jodie Scheele and Mr Yousri Gharsallah. Mr Sloan has a Bachelor of Health and Physical Education from Notre Dame University specialising in Physical Education, Health, Outdoor Education and Science. He joins St George’s with a broad range of teaching experiences having taught at Nagle Catholic College in Geraldton and most recently at Lakeland Senior High School. He has also been involved in leading the Outdoor Education program at Guildford Grammar School.
The Year 11 Modern History ATAR students took part in the Courage To Care program through the Holocaust Institute of WA. We had the delight of welcoming a team of dedicated leaders who gave a background introduction, lead discussions, showed survivor testimony. Students were able to explore different stories and perspectives of the Holocaust and develop their own thoughts on what lessons we can learn from such horrific acts. This fits in with their course well as the students are coming to the end of the Nazi Germany unit of work. We would like to say thank you to the Courage to Care program, especially Yael, Frances, Carol and Cally for their time and expertise.
Mr Sloan is passionate about basketball, AFL and Golf. He has managed the Fremantle Dockers Gala Day and is looking forward to leading our Inter-House Athletics Carnival next term. He has also coached volleyball, athletics, soccer and tennis but enjoys all sports and is keen to bring his wide range of skills, expertise and passion for sport and a healthy lifestyle to St George’s next semester.

Mrs Jackie Sullivan The Athletics season is upon us and students have been going through their paces in PE lessons. The Inter-House Athletics Carnival is on 4 August at UWA Sportspark.

Due to COVID postponement in Term One, the ACC Senior Boys and Girls Basketball Championship will be held on 23 August and the ACC Junior Championships will be held in Term Four. Basketball training has commenced on Thursdays at UWA.
Congratulations to our Year 10s who completed their first ever set of ‘proper’ exams. They have all received feedback and completed a reflection to help them re-set goals for Semester Two. These results will also help guide their subject choices for 2023.

sustainable resources. Some students included sustainable technologies discussed in class, such as rainwater tanks, into their house models. The Year 9s completed their semester’s work on Marine Studies. They designed and built fishing lures using recycled materials to catch local WA fish species, researching exactly how their target species lives to make the most successful lure. The results were just spectacular and reflective of their engagement in this topic. The students also enjoyed a session from a visiting Marine Biologist, Amanda Morgan who is a WA Shark Biologist. She shared her information and passion for sharks with our class and was impressed with their knowledge on shark biology. All Year 10s headed to Murdoch University on Wednesday 29 June, for the Seek Out Science Day. Students participated in hands on workshops including: Forensics and facial reconstruction, Marine and Environmental Science with an edible “plastic” twist, Chemistry Fun, Nursing Break Out Boxes and Psych workshops. We trust they enjoyed the day experiencing life on a university campus.
The Nobel Pathway has completed another rotation in Year 7 and 8. Mr Dempers was particularly impressed with our Year 7s who researched a range of different myths by designing an experiment around the myth to either confirm or bust it. Some stand out myths being busted were “Is Google listening to all your conversations?”, “Do goldfish only have a 3 second memory?” and a fan favourite “Are all Skittle colours the same flavour”.
The Science Department farewells Mr Thomas Hatton at the end of this term. He is joining the Science Department at St Marks Anglican Community School. We thank him for his 18 months service to St George’s and wish him well in this new adventure. Mr Michael Heath will be commencing at St George’s at the start of Term Three, taking all of Mr Hatton’s classes. Mr Heath joins us from the UK, where he has been teaching Chemistry and Physics to ‘A’ level students (the equivalent of first year university in Australia). Mr Heath has a First-Class Honours degree in Chemistry, a Post Graduate certificate in Education and twenty years teaching experience. Mr Heath previously worked at St Marks Anglican Community School, with Ms Donovan from 2007 to 2010, teaching Australian Curriculum and ATAR level Physics and Chemistry. He has a wealth of experience in teaching a variety of Science classes across all high school age groups and has a record of demonstrated success in high achieving school leavers. Mr Heath is an enthusiastic and passionate educator and will be working with me in the holidays to ensure a smooth transition for all classes as they start Term Three and beyond.
The Year 8s, led by our practicum teacher Ms Hannaford, were tasked with designing a sustainable house model using passive solar designs to reduce energy spent on heating and cooling houses. They performed experiments on heat emission and absorption along with analysing passive solar design articles and house plans to help with their research. Students worked collaboratively in small groups to illustrate a passive solar house plan before converting these plans into models made from

While there is no doubt that sorbet shopping outweighed the purchase of books, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of books bought, and also the sheer range of reading interests. In the hectic age we live in, there is something precious in setting aside time for a singular activity, free of likes and post experience surveys.

Reading is also pretty good.
I am interested in exploring the universal concept of isolation. Particularly depersonalisation. This painting explores the feeling of floating in an alternate world in a body that doesn’t feel like your own.
I chose “lucky dip” for my selection, opting for an author who I know nothing about, purchasing Ducks, Newburyport, by Lucy Ellmann. I know myself well enough to appreciate that, If I don’t do this, from time to time, I might just end up reading Murakami for a little longer than I planned to. The common consensus, on the stroll back to St Georges, was that sorbet and books is possibly, already, our new tradition.
The sculptural frame links to this concept. The original frame has been taken apart, recut, restored, sculpted, and painted with added symbolic sculptural elements added.

The perfect mess. I feel myself drifting further from the person I’d like to become. This image explores the struggle with my internal thoughts and feelings.
The final donations for the Winter Warmers Wednesday went out the door this week. Kelly Keall, from Anglicare came to collect the generous donations from teachers, students and their respective families. Beanies, jackets, socks, scarves, hoodies, blankets, and an assortment of cloths for children to adults were donated. People experiencing homelessness this winter will be one step closer to experiencing warmth.
Sorbet and Books One of the best things about a Winter Break is being able to take the time to enjoy a little mindful escape. For me that means, among other things, lining up my holiday reading.

This week brought with it the conclusion of another successful term for all our Year 7 students. At our Week Ten year group meeting, twenty-one members of the cohort were awarded a Values Certificate.
Towards the end of the night, major awards were handed out, with an honourable mention to Mr Sebastian Knubley for winning ‘Best Dancer’.
These students were nominated by their classroom and Pastoral Care Group teachers for demonstrating actions and behaviours in line with our School values.
The night would not have been a success without the amazing staff at Ambrose Estate and the St George’s staff who joined in the celebration. A big thank you to the organisation and creativity of our Ball Committee: Zoe Walters, Holly Dear, Paris Marten, Mia Stewart, Roisin Beesley, Isabella Daniels, Jessica Green, and Emma Radici.
Faith - Being kind and helping others. Excellence - Doing your best in activities, wearing your uniform properly and giving everything a go. Justice - Being fair, sharing and allowing everyone to have their turn. Respect - Respecting other students, school property and yourself. Integrity - Being honest and doing the right thing, regardless of whether any teachers are watching. Diversity - Including others and accepting everyone as an individual.

What’s the best thing about Music at St George’s? The performances we get to do and the rock bands, other ensembles and groups on offer.
Why should other people do music?
One of the highlights at St George’s is undoubtedly the Year 12 Ball. Held last Friday 24 June at the beautiful Ambrose Estate, Wembley, the theme of the 2022 Ball was “Red Carpet” and the Ball Committee did an excellent job of bringing their idea to life.
Because it is fun and a great hobby.
