  • ZOMBEO AND JULIET Congratulations to all students and staff who were involved in staging last week’s Middle School Production of Zombeo and Juliet. The performance was a highly entertaining mixture of song, dance and witty dialogue. The costumes and stage make-up were equally impressive, especially that worn by the Zombies. Mr. Alchin noted that another pleasing aspect of the performance was the participation of Senior School students both as actors and technical and production assistants. The co-operation of students across our Sub-Schools is an important aspect of the development of our School cultures and values. The support and encouragement that older students can give to younger students can be significant and important, often providing encouragement and inspiration.

    NIGHT OF THE NOTABLES Last Thursday evening students from the Year 4 and Year 5 Extension classes, under the direction of Mrs. Payne, presented their ‘Night of the Notables’. The evening was highly informative as students adopted the persona of a famous character from history and informed parents and staff about the contribution of their famous character to history. I discovered that Alfred Nobel decided to instigate the Nobel Prizes after his brother’s death was mistakenly reported as his own! A Swedish newspaper commented that Alfred Nobel would be remembered as the man who gave the world the destructive instrument of dynamite. Reading one’s obituary before one’s death would be unsettling enough, without having to read negative opinion, so Alfred wishing to ensure a more positive legacy set about to create the Nobel Prizes to advance the cause of mankind! Thank you to the

    parents and friends of the students who attended and a special thanks to parents for their encouragement of the students’ work and their assistance with the splendid costumes that students wore to depict their notable character.

    SCIENCE FETE Last Friday’s Science Fete was a great success, proving to be both educational and enjoyable. Fine weather enabled a petting Zoo to be placed outside the entrance of the Undercroft. A female piglet stole everyone’s hearts! Once inside students were able to participate in an extensive range of activities. It was pleasing to see alumni of the School returning to assist in scientific demonstrations along with current School students.

    Congratulations to Ms. Fay and her fellow Science staff for making the fete possible and purposeful.

    SCHOOL BLAZERS FOR 2015 The School Blazer is a compulsory item of Winter Uniform for all Middle and Senior School students. To assist us in the process of supplying all students with their Blazers on time, it is necessary for all current students in Year 6, existing students who will require a new blazer for 2015 and all new students joining Years 7 – 12 in 2015 to pre-order a Blazer.

    To guarantee delivery for Term 2, 2015, it is essential for students to come to the uniform shop for a fitting this year, between Tuesday 12th August and Thursday 4th September 2014 at the latest. Blazers will be measured with the time scale in mind to ensure they fit appropriately. Our opening hours are as follows:

    Tuesdays (Term time only) 7.45am - 12pm Thursdays (Term time only) 7.45am – 12pm Sara Smith Uniform Shop Manager

    CHAPLAIN’S CHAT God as a Sense. At the recent Mining the Soul conference in Perth, I attended a group facilitated by social researcher Cynthia Dixon (ECU), concerning the work and interests of French public philosopher Alain de Botton, especially with regard to his book Religion for Atheists. De Botton argues that religions have some good teachings for ‘us’: people should borrow ideas for better living and society from religion, which has developed its strengths in developing community through honouring relationships. Through religion, we can enrich our travel experiences with knowledge about its influence on art, architecture and music. Religion gives us structures through which we meet our emotional needs and can increase feelings of adequacy, self-worth and belonging in times of alienation, distraction and envy, potentially brought on through the media and other online world ‘realities’.

    The unit called Spirituality designed by Nancy Ault at Murdoch University, works to clarify ideologies of Spirituality and Religion. While most people are now claiming they are spiritual, fewer are pinning this to a religion. Spirituality is defined as the relational aspect of life: relation to self, other, community and to the transcendent (hope, love, justice, peace, resolution, oneness, compassion, ultimate meaning, truth). Religion is defined as the cultural interface through which these ideas are honoured. Religion can be a springboard to Spirituality, just as Spirituality can lead people to religion. Scientific research of the brain has suggested that we are neurologically hard-wired to be relational, to worship a higher being and hence we are ‘naturally’ spiritual. Research has shown the positive effects of spiritual or religious meditation for personal wellbeing and efficacy, effective living and recovery after traumatic events . I find it difficult to imagine life without a transcendent ‘sense’ , or God which orders and brings meaning to life. I find it difficult to imagine the extractions from religion for the sake of the wellbeing of society de Botton suggests, without connecting them to this sense of God, however it is the idea of God which de Botton struggles with, all the while demonstrating the benefits of religion. He seems to be asking “Can’t we just believe in some of it?” As much as I love others and my community, it is difficult to construct a world without a sense of God, or to believe that friendships and community would exist as vibrantly and be as complete with only themselves as a reference point. Would it all still work together without this sense of the transcendent being? I agree with Alain that the secular world ought to borrow from religion and would add, that perhaps there ought to be some reverse borrowing from the goodness of the secular world by religion. Cynthia Dixon concluded our group discussion with her hope that de Botton may act as a plank to religion for atheists! As a secular philosopher, de Botton may well ignite further interest in the Hebrew and Greek philosophy embedded in out religious texts. I am simply hopeful that amidst all the dialogue, people are simply more interested in a good discussion! Let’s keep the conversation going! Emily Warburton Assistant to the School Chaplain

    KELAS BAHASA INDONESIA Hari Kemerdekaan – Indonesian

    Independence Day

    ‘Hari’ means day and ‘kemerdekaan’ means freedom or

    independence.

    For many, many years Indonesia was ruled by the Dutch,

    only to be followed by the Japanese. The Indonesian people

    were very unhappy about this situation and wanted to

    change it. They had to fight hard to win their freedom.

    Finally, they proclaimed their independence on 17th August,

    1945.

    Every year on this date, Indonesian people celebrate their

    freedom. Indonesian flags are hung on every Indonesian

    house, school and public building to show that they are very

    proud of their country. Children play games and have contests such as sack races and krupuk eating contests.

    In the Primary School, students celebrated Indonesian Independence Day throughout the whole week. They learned

    about the flag raising ceremony and made flags to wave whilst on parade. We practiced following marching

    commands such as “Belok kiri” (turn left) and “Belok kanan” (turn right). Students were then able to test their skills

    in the krupuk eating contest and egg and spoon races.

    Thanks to all the students who made the week so enjoyable. Salam hangat,

    Ibu Bell Primary Indonesian Teacher

  • WE ART FAMILY On Sunday 24th August, I had the pleasure of attending the official opening of ‘We Art Family’. This is an IPSHA Visual Arts exhibition that brings together artwork from a number of Independent Primary schools. This year’s exhibition is being held at Santa Maria College and was opened by acclaimed Western Australian artist, Abdul Abdullah.

    Peter Moyes was very ably represented by a number of talented Primary School students.

    Congratulations to all who had work displayed at this wonderful exhibition. In addition, special thanks and congratulations to Ms Chloe Kyriakacis for her expertise in guiding the students in their creative process.

    The exhibition is open for public viewing today, Wednesday 27th from late afternoon to 7:00pm, at Santa Maria College, Attadale.

    Alternatively, if you miss this opportunity to view the work, be sure to attend the upcoming PMACS Visual Arts Exhibition, opening September 12th, 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

    DEVELOP A FAMILY HANDS-OFF POLICY

    Children’s disputes can be noisy, loud and physical, particularly when boys are involved. Sibling conflict is the bane of family life as it can disturb family harmony and make life awful for parents. Noisy, physical fights don’t seem to worry kids as much as it does parents. It’s worth noting that left to their own devices kids generally work out their own solutions to relationship problems but the verbal barbs can fly and some physicality can be involved. If you have boys your long-term aim as a parent is to get them to talk through their issues, practise give and take and look for solutions that suit both rather than each standing their ground. This takes a great deal of patience and modelling by adults of healthy conflict resolution. It also helps to have a Hands-off policy at home. That is, kids resist hitting or hurting each other when there is a problem to be sorted. Talking through problems, giving way and compromising are the ways to go. Just because you have a hands-off policy doesn’t mean that kids will stick to it all the time. But it makes it very clear for boys, in particular, that hitting and hurting are not the ways to solve their relationships problems. “Jeremy, we have a hands-off policy in our family. You overstepped the mark when you whacked your brother. We cool down and talk things through here. How will you fix this situation? A Hands-off policy gives you something concrete to refer to as a parent when kids overstep the mark they use physicality to resolve issues with their siblings.
