CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CROSS-COUNTRY SQUAD The School has every reason to be very proud of the results achieved by our Cross-Country squad at the ACC Inter-School Cross-Country Championships which were held at Perry Lakes on Thursday, 2nd June. For the third successive year the School has finished in the TOP THREE SCHOOLS of the close to SEVENTY who compete annually.

When one considers the relative youth of our School and how quickly the School has con-solidated its ranking amongst the elite schools over the last few years, the achievement of the Squad is genuinely exciting.

I wish to congratulate Mr. Streeter who co-ordinated the selection and training of the Squad and his team of coaches- Mr. Carr, Mr. Fussell, Mr. Hall and Mr. Watkins- on their support and encouragement of our runners. Similarly, I wish to thank the parents of the Squad for their willingness to assist their children’s achievements. Finally, the students themselves are congratulated most heartily for their stamina, endurance, excel-lence and sportsmanship.

A SCHOOL FOR ALL PURSUITS- HOSTING OF ANGLICAN SCHOOLS’ COMMISSION PIANO COMPETITION No sooner has the dust settled on the heels of our Cross-Country runners and the School looks to host a significant event in the cultural calendar of the Anglican Schools Commission. Next Wednesday 22nd June will see the School once again host the Anglican Schools Commission Piano Competition in the Allan Shaw Centre. The day is a wonder-ful opportunity for students from the Commission’s Schools to meet and display their musical skills. I wish all partici-pants success and enjoyment and thank Mr. Tonti and Mrs. Booth for all their work in organising and hosting the day’s events. DEFENDING THE PROPER USE OF LANGUAGE I have often commented to students about the importance of using precise and proper language and grammar. A slip of the tongue or a slip of grammar can be embarrassing at best or, at worst, completely misconstrue the mes-sage one wishes to convey. A few years ago a scholar wishing to remind people of the importance of the comma reminded readers of the difference between the following two sentences : The wombat eats shoots and leaves and The wombat eats, shoots and leaves! Too many nouns have become verbs. It appals me to hear people speaking of “sourcing” a product or “ramping” up a concern. Similarly one now hears of people “transitioning” instead of ad-justing and “prioritising” instead of organising. The use of the words impact and/or impacted when effect and affect should be used is also a modern malady. Most recently, I have noticed that news broadcasts fails to include neces-sary words by way of qualification and/or clarification. Last week I heard the following on the ABC News: “The ACT government has placed domestic violence at the centre of its Budget spending for this year”. I suspect that no government would ever wish to be seen to be promoting domestic violence; what should have been said is that “The ACT government has placed the prevention of domestic violence at the centre …”

So, next time you are at the butcher remember the correct question is not “ Do you have any dog bones?”, but “ Do you have any bones for a dog?”

MIDDLE AND SENIOR SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS AND YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE The proper use of language is critical for academic clarity and achievement. I urge Year 12 and Year 11 students to carefully review their Semester One Examinations and consider how they may set about to improve their academic performance. Similarly, Year 10 students will receive their examinations upon their return from this week’s Work Experience placements and are encouraged to do likewise. This week sees Year 9 students sitting their Semester One tests and I wish them well. PIRATES INVADE THE PRIMARY SHOOL Last Friday the Primary School students and staff dressed as marauding pirates, vagabonds and brigands as part of Pirates Day which is an annual event held at Schools to raise money for research into Cancers that specifically affect children.

As you can see from the following photographs there was no lack of buccaneering spirit amongst the staff and students of the Primary School! To view more photographs, please click on this link http://www.petermoyes.wa.edu.au/articles/gallery-pirate-day-2016

TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO ONE In two weeks, it is less than six months until Christmas! To assist School families plan for 2017, a full School Calendar for next year is set out on the next page. School families are asked to note key dates on the calendar, especially the slightly unusual starting date of Term Two. I trust this information is of benefit to our School families.

TRAGIC NEWS IN ORLANDO As the world reacts to this week’s senseless mass shooting in Orlando, it is worth remembering the words of Senator Robert Kennedy spoken immediately after he learned of the assassination of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King. Not long after speaking these words he too was assassinated as he campaigned to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for the 1968 United States Presidential election:

“What we need is not division, not hatred and violence or lawlessness, but love and compassion towards one anoth-er. We should dedicate ourselves to what the Ancient Greeks wrote so many years ago: To tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world”

CHAPLAIN

Last Friday I attended a meeting of various church leaders and school chaplains from the Anglican Church,

entitled “Doing Theology Together”. Essentially, we were considering ways in which the links between

churches and schools can be enhanced. We also considered what it was that made an Anglican School

particularly Anglican.

There was a recognition that the Anglican Church wants to be as inclusive as possible, without losing what is central to its identity.

There is a sense that all our students have a right to be introduced to beliefs, traditions and practices of The Church. This includes,

but is not limited to, inspiring a sense of wonder and community, being taught about the Bible and Christian belief, having access to

worship and the Eucharist.

There was a strong sense of the eternal value of learning for learning’s sake and an awareness that not all learning is measurable.

Some learning is to wonder about for another time.

At PMACS, we welcome people from a variety of faith and cultural backgrounds, reflecting the Church’s inclusivity. Through CRE les-

sons and chapel services, as well as through interactions with staff and students, our young people are given experiences to

enhance their understanding of some of the beliefs, practices and traditions of The Church.

There is a sense, that for all Anglican Schools we should “aim high but also bend low”, as reflected in the story of the Good

Samaritan, and also in our school motto of “Act justly, Love God.” One of speakers, Bishop Lindsay Unwin from Melbourne,

suggested we should aim to build a civilisation of love in our schools, knowing that God’s goodness spills out beyond our systems.

God’s peace be with you.

SENIOR SCHOOL Year 11 students braved wet and wild weather for their recent Leadership Day. The day was

designed to test the students’ ability to work as a team in order to achieve a goal. In this case, it

was to find the antidote to save them from the Zombie Apocalypse.

Students worked through a number of challenges, including a spider’s web, the shrinking tarp

and crawling through a tunnel in a darkened and atmospherically eerie environment. Each group were required to

decipher clues in order to move from one challenge to the next, look after a baby and find food along the way.

The day concluded with the Year 11 cohort applying stage make up and demonstrating their dancing skills, after being

taught the steps by Staff.

The Heads of House were instrumental in setting up the Leadership Day and are to be congratulated for an innovating

and enjoyable introduction to leadership at Peter Moyes.

MIDDLE SCHOOL YEAR 9 EXAMINATIONS Semester One Examinations for Year 9 students commenced this week. Year 9 students do not receive a study break for these examinations and are expected to complete l essons as normal other than during the examinations themselves. It is also important students attend School on the days following the examinations as teachers will provide feedback and review the assessments in this time. Teachers have spoken to students to remind them of the need to do their best in these examinations, and students are encouraged to maintain their nor-mal routines of exercise and ensure they have adequate sleep during the examination period. CHARITY WEEK The Term 2 Middle School Charity Week will take place in Week 9 of this term, week commencing Monday 20th June. Various fundraising activities will take place, and a non-uniform day will be held during the week for a gold coin dona-tion. The non-uniform dress expectations will be shared with students and normal grooming expectations for hair, jewel-lery and make-up will still apply. The following charities were nominated for and chosen by students in each House group:

Cuthbert – The Leukaemia Foundation

Durack – Breast Cancer Research

Florey – Association of Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades WA

Hollows – DT38 Foundation

Lingiari – The Cancer Council

We ask all students to support the chosen charities over the course of the week.

YEAR 8 AND 9 CAMP The learning that takes place out of a classroom is always very important and parents of both Year 8 & 9 students will have recently received their letters regarding Camps for their children next term. We will be looking forward to three days and two nights of outdoor based education programmes, particularly team building and challenges through choice!

Year 7 students are returning to the city for their CRE studies this week (7.1-7.3) and next (7.4-7.6) for an informative tour of St George’s Cathedral and interaction with students from St George’s Anglican Grammar School, a fellow Angli-can Commission School and an inner city school. The Year 7s were recently in the city as part of their Humanities pro-gramme, which was a very successful day and I would like to thank the parents whose attendance on the day was greatly appreciated.

HOUSE PROGRAMME The Middle School House Programme is well underway for Term 3 and we have the Year 7 students honing their Theatre Sports skills with improvisation games requiring quick thinking and confidence in front of peers . Sources tell me that Florey House is leading the way at the moment! The Middle School Inter-House Theatre Sports Grand Final will be held in Week 9.

Year 8 students are continuing their sports programme and Year 9 students are doing an excellent job of learning differ-ent ballroom dances, including the Slow Rhythm, the Disco Madison and the Cha Cha in preparation for their Year 9 So-cial later on this year.

PRIMARY SCHOOL

Welcome to this edition of Primary School News. SOME IMPORTANT DATES TO NOTE Biggest Morning Tea for Parents Fundraiser – Friday 17th June at 10am P & F Primary Disco – Friday 17th June Upper Primary 5.2 Assembly 21st June Piano Competition – Wednesday 22nd June Co-Curricular Activities Conclude for the Term – Thursday 23rd June NIPSSA Cross Country Event – Friday 24th June MY NEW ZEALAND CONFERENCE I was fortunate enough recently to attend the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA) conference in Auckland, New Zealand. There were three speakers that were especially impressive: Dr Tony Fernando delivered a talk on ‘Wellness and Happiness’ of Children Dr Joan Baker spoke on the theme ‘Leadership in a School is Complex’ and Ngahihi O Te Ra Bidois, spoke about personal leadership. I hope to use their observations to assist me in the development of the Primary School. I was able to visit a number of Auckland’s finest schools. These visits reinforced for me how impressive our Primary School is. I am confident that I am leading our Primary School in a direction that sees itself compare most favourably with other Primary schools in Austral-ia and New Zealand. We have a School that we should feel proud of, in what it stands for and in what it provides for our community.

EARLY LEARNING OPEN DAY Last Saturday, we hosted a very successful Open Day for our Early Years Environment to the public. I felt very proud of the what our Early Years team have been able to do in creating a beautiful environment that allows our little ones to flourish and discover, create and imagine through guided learning and play. I wish to sincerely thank all the staff and my leadership team that gave up their personal time to support this event and also thank our Primary House Captains who took pride in directing visitors to the School.

MINOR WORKS AND REFURBISHMENT TO BEGIN TERM FOUR At the start of Term Four, the current administration offices will become two new Pre-Primary Classes. This will then make room now for the new Pre-Kindergarten classroom and three Kindergarten classrooms taking up the space also where Pre-Primary is presently. My office and Mrs Brown’s will move back into the Primary School. The Quad and neigh-bouring playground will be expanded to create a wonderful nature playground and running space for the Early Years Programme. All this work will begin once the new Administration block is completed. PIRATE DAY FUNDRAISER

SWIMMING LESSONS

We have received some expressions of concern about the timing of the swimming lessons in Term 3, which begin on the

first day of term. Unfortunately, we have little say in regard to when we can stage our lessons. There are dozens of pri-

mary schools who all run the same swimming programme which means that there is a lot of competition for the most

popular weeks in the year. When booking the swimming lessons, we are allowed to put forward three sets of dates and

are then allocated one. The Department of Education try to ensure that the same schools are not always allocated the

same weeks every year. We have been assured by the staff at the HBF Arena that the water temperature is maintained

to the same level no matter what time of year it is. However, we do recommend that you make sure your child has

something warm to get changed into after their lessons.

CONGRATULATIONS TO STAFF

Some of our staff have been nominated from last year for the ‘A Day Made Better 2015’ accolades. This is where par-

ents have the opportunity to thank a primary school teacher who they believe is making a difference.

Our 2015 nominee winners have been announced and are as follows:

Ashley Lazarus - PP1

Karen de Swardt - PP2

Jamie Harrison - Year 1.1

Nathaniel Pestell - Year 4.3

Scott Horrigan - Year 5.2

Suzanne Middleton - Year 5.3

Kellie Shimmings - Year 6.1

If you wish to nominate a teacher this year in our School, you have until June 17th to do so by accessing the following

website: www.adaymadebetter.com.au

Great teachers are worth celebrating. From New Zealand, a worthy Maori sentiment:

‘Ehara taku toa, i te toa takitahi, engari ko taku toa he toa takitini’ My Achievements are not mine alone, but those of

many.

NEW NORCIA CAMP—YEAR 5 On Wednesday the 25th May, the Year Five students departed on their annual pilgrim-

age to the monastic town of New Norcia. The two-hour bus journey was the last

chance for the students to have some rest before their busy days on the Camp, when

students found themselves walking up to 15 kilometres around the township on vari-

ous tours. Students stepped back in time to immerse themselves in the daily activities

of the local monks. The students also engaged in activities to demonstrate the unique

blend of monastic culture and indigenous heritage. They learnt about monastic life

and the monastery through historical, bakery, museum and cemetery tours. Students

also learnt about indigenous life, making ‘Mya-Mya’ tools with indigenous techniques,

studied aboriginal artwork, undertook a ‘bushtucker’ walk, and learnt campfire Dreamtime stories. As always the oppor-

tunity for students to throw spears and boomerangs proved to be the highlight of camp for most students. Local indige-

nous elder, Lester Jacobs, passed on his knowledge of indigenous weapons and Aboriginal daily life as a member of the

local Yuet tribe. Before they knew it, the students were on their way home and had actually survived three days with

little or no use of technology! As you can see below the students had a memorable experience!

Mr. Scott Horrigan- Camp Co-Ordinator

Gracie-May Russell

I thought the New Norcia Camp was really fun. The top thing to do was throwing boomerangs and spears, because it

was a great experience to learn from an indigenous person and to learn the right technique. Overall, the experience of

living in New Norcia and learning from different people that know a lot of information was amazing and it was the best

camp.

Ava Temple

Year Five New Norcia Camp was really fun. We got to throw boomerangs and spears. We also got to make Mya-Myas

and that was awesome. We slept in an old school called Saint Gertrude’s and we had our breakfast, lunch and dinner at

Saint Ildephonsus. We watched a movie called “Minions” and had a campfire with Lester (an aboriginal elder). We also

had a games night.

Thomas Alderson

I think New Norcia Camp was really fun. I liked it

because we slept in a really open area and it was

one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I

liked everything so I heavily suggest you go there.

You will have an amazing time!

YEAR 7 EXCURSIONS Year 7 students had an amazing excursion to the Western Australian Museum and Perth CBD on the Thursday 26th and Friday 27th May.

The Museum visit allowed students to travel back in time and across the globe to discover how humans have shaped the world and, in turn, have been shaped by it. The exhibition ‘A History of the World in 100 Objects’ allowed students to observe, in a rich and engaging way, the remarkable achievements of humans in the face of change.

The exhibition encouraged students to consider a diverse range of societies throughout history, and focus on the Ancient Roman and Chinese cultures.

w w w . p e t e r m o y e s . w a . e d u . a u A C T J U S T L Y , H O N O U R G O D

After the visit to the Museum, students gathered into their groups and lined up at the starting line at the Perth Cultur-al Centre, ready to receive their first clue of ‘The Amazing Race’. The Amazing Race was a race throughout the city that took students from Claisebrook Cove in East Perth, up to the beautiful Kings Park, down to the newly developed Eliza-beth Quay and in and amongst hustle and bustle of Forest Chase in the heart of the CBD. Students identified factors of liveability such as transport, safety, entertainment, art and culture, education and healthcare within our city, identi-fying natural and cultural features that make Perth more liveable! Students had a great time getting to know their city and were very tired at the end of our adventure! Some photos from the students time at the Museum and during the Amazing Race have been included. A big thank you to all the parents and staff that offered their time to make this learning experience possible.

We are excited to be holding three discos upstairs in the new Gym building. It is hoped that students and parents will enjoy the venue and a chance to relax and catch up. Thank you to all those who have volunteered to help at the event. The discos could not happen without parental and staff support. We might all rather be somewhere else on a Friday evening, but when we see how much fun the children have, it makes it worth all the effort! BUNNINGS SAUSAGE SIZZLE FUNDRAISER: SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2016 Thank you to Carol Smith and Karen Tarleton who have taken up the baton from Claire Heptinstall and Aleks Heptinstall to run our fundraising Sausage Sizzles at Bunnings Mindarie.
