TERM 1 NO 1 Wednesday 1 February 2017 TERM 1 NO 1 Wednesday 1 February 2017 Winifred West Schools Limited . ABN 14 000 025 0267 PO Box 34 Mittagong NSW 2575 . Phone: +61 2 4860 2000 . [email protected] Welcome to the new School year! With the support of staff and students, our focus this week has been on welcoming new students on all three campuses and resuming full teaching, boarding and extra activity operation. Sturt’s School for Wood course is fully subscribed and their term commenced on Monday 30 January. Frensham’s 80 new students were the next to arrive and by late Monday evening our 252 boarders were ‘in residence’. On Tuesday 31 January, Gib Gate and Frensham students were in class and our youngest students (three year-old pre-schoolers) arrived for their first formal experience of a school day at Gib Gate. Excellence in Teaching and Learning Key elements of our preparation for the new school year include refurbishment and upgrade of our facilities and intensive review of strategic plans. For all teachers, the Professional Learning programmes scheduled for the final week of the vacation provided an excellent forum for confirming core goals and setting priorities for our offering and approach. WWS Director of Teaching and Learning, Ms Chauncy, responsible for facilitation of the PL plan (summarised in this Newsletter), also provided a prescribed text by senior research associate at Harvard Project Zero, Ron Ritchhart: Creating Cultures of Thinking – The 8 Forces we Must Master to Truly Transform our Schools – and our first assignment was to read the first chapters: (i) The Purpose and Promise of Schools and (ii) Expectations. To assist with thinking about what makes a quality education, Ritchhart poses the question: What do you want the children you teach to be like as adults? Aligned to our Strategic Goals for Achievement of Academic Excellence, we will be exploring how well we inspire and nurture what Ritchhart describes as five belief sets which facilitate a culture of thinking: - Focusing students on the learning vs the work - Teaching for understanding vs knowledge - Encouraging deep vs surface learning strategies - Promoting independence vs dependence - Developing a growth vs a fixed mindset Looking back – to look forward Also celebrated this week were the tertiary entry achievements of Year 12, 2016. In summary: - every member of the 55-strong cohort was offered a tertiary place before the end of January, many also via portfolio, interview or Early Entry - within the course options, we note at least 43 different tertiary courses The following listing indicates the latest information we have from the University Admissions Centre (UAC) or from girls who have confirmed offers accepted. The range of courses reflects the diversity of interests and skills within the cohort, and the purposeful efforts girls made to investigate options they believe will facilitate achievement of their career aspirations: Architecture, Agriculture, Arts, Business, Commerce, Communications, Design, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Forensic Studies, Health Science, International and Global Studies, Psychology, Law, Medical Science, Nursing, Science, Occupational Therapy, Veterinary Science....all are represented in the course list below.

We believe we have a responsibility to teach students how to manage and use technology effectively, to facilitate greater personalisation of the learning experience, increased ownership of the learning experience, and improved access to information and resources. In summary: Why BYOD? Enables STEAMm/STEM programme to be embedded into all aspects of the curriculum Facilitates teaching of implicit digital management skills Offers greater flexibility for delivery of information in all curriculum areas Supports innovative teaching and learning Allows for the use of a Learning Management System (LMS) to support classroom learning Provides more opportunities for parents to access and support students’ learning and work in way not facilitated by bookwork. First Weekend of Term This weekend at Frensham we look forward to a fully scheduled programme for all year groups, including recreation, studies, whole-year group and whole-School activities. Senior students are responsible for support or leadership of various sessions, with professional providers, teachers and House Staff, in addition to having time for independent access to facilities to pursue their particular interests and personal studies. It is a delight to be on campus with such positive, energetic students! Please see details published on Schoolbox.

The Shire lies within the Sydney – Canberra – Melbourne transport corridor on the Southern rail line and Hume Highway. The M5 motorway provides rapid access to Campbelltown, Liverpool and other key metropolitan centres within Sydney. Wingecarribee is also referred to as the Southern Highlands due to its position on a spur of the Great Dividing Range some 640 to 800 metres above sea level. Wingecarribee Shire is predominantly rural in character with agricultural lands separating towns and villages characterised by unique landscape and aesthetic appeal. Development pressures are significant and include subdivision for residential and lifestyle purposes, infrastructure, industry and agriculture. The Southern Highlands forms part of Gundungurra tribal lands and preservation of Aboriginal heritage is significant. European settlement dates back to the early 1800s with first contact between Aboriginal people and Europeans occurring in 1798. Settlement followed in 1821 at Bong Bong. The Shire is rich in biodiversity with large areas of high conservation value including part of the World Heritage Greater Blue Mountains area and two declared wilderness areas. Environmental features include cold climatic conditions, rugged topography and significant areas of state forest, national park and other protected lands that form part of the Sydney water catchment area.

There is, however, a long history of disagreement about how to define species and how they arise. All current species concepts are logically and operationally flawed because they rely on prospective narration, or equivalently, they depend upon the future.
