This edition of news@pulteney focuses on learning innovation in all its forms. In the following pages you will read about the innovative and exciting developments in Pulteney Grammar School’s learning environments (especially the Centre for Senior Learning in one ninety), the developments in learning technologies, including the newly introduced iPad programme in Kurrajong and Prep, and the application of experiential approaches to learning LETTER PRINCIPAL’S in the arts, science, leadership development, outdoor education and sport. Developing learning skills for the future is a fundamental reason for such programmes. Being able to think creatively and critically will continue to be increasingly more critical requisites for success into the future. At Pulteney, we believe that students learn best through an education experience that is immersive. These approaches to learning build students’ ability to develop the skills needed to solve problems never encountered before, to develop a deep understanding of new knowledge and to collaborate with others to further build their individual and collective capacity. In addition, we support our students to be connected; with each other, with their School community and more broadly to the City of Adelaide, their State and the world. Our links with Old Scholars and parents, indeed all who contribute to the “fabric” of the Pulteney community, are invaluable and we aim to foster these at every opportunity. Responding to the challenges of our world – with its complex environmental, social and economic pressures – requires young people to be creative, innovative, enterprising and adaptable, with the motivation, confidence and skills to use critical and creative thinking purposefully. I am sure you will easily identify all of these attributes in action in the pages that follow and in the daily life of our School.

Playing The club, although not as successful on the field this season with only the 3rd XI making the finals, were still competitive in all XIs. The loss of three keys players during the season from the 1st XI, Will Long due to work commitments, Andrew McGorian due to injury and Riz Chhabra, had a ripple effect through all sides. Cam Christensen did an excellent job as coach of the club and was ably assisted by Mark Quinn and John Watkin. It was great to have Mark and John at the club as they are great role models for the younger players. The second half of the season saw Ben Cavey appointed to assist Cam. Ben fitted into the role very well and was a great asset to the coaching panel.
