Headmistress Mrs Megan Krimmer | Headmistress Chaplain Today has been a wonderful day of birthday celebrations at Community Abbotsleigh. As you may be aware, Miss Marian Clarke opened Junior School Abbotsleigh on 20 July 1885 in Mount Street, North Sydney. The school started with 20 young girls and boys who were taught Senior School by two teachers. After moving to Parramatta, it was decided in Featured articles 1898 that the current Wahroonga site was ‘most suitable’. From that time forward, Abbotsleigh became a girls’ only school and absolutely flourished. As it says in the Events words of the School Song, Abbotsleigh has certainly ‘stood the test’, and we are incredibly grateful for all that so many have done in the past and the present to ensure that Abbotsleigh is the phenomenal school it is today. It was a particularly great delight to welcome Miss Kathleen McCredie AM as our Upcoming events guest of honour at our traditional birthday assembly to celebrate Abbotsleigh’s 133rd birthday, the Abbotsleigh Old Girls’ Union’s 110th birthday and Miss McCredie’s 90th Monday 30 July birthday! Miss McCredie, Headmistress from 1970-1987, was Abbotsleigh’s first (and JS IPSHA travelling art so far, only) Old Girl to be appointed Headmistress. Miss McCredie guided Abbotsleigh show commences through a time of quite tumultuous social and educational change in Australia and, Tuesday 31 July together with this, her achievements, which included the building of excellent facilities GCSG exhibition commences: such as Science labs, classrooms and the Centenary Building – just to name a few, were quite inspirational. In a most fitting tribute to their much loved and revered Sentient Visibility Headmistress, the Abbotsleigh Old Girls’ Union commissioned a film documenting Wednesday 1 August Miss McCredie’s life and achievements, and our guests, girls and staff were most IPSHA Performing Arts fortunate to be treated to an excerpt of this during the assembly. Festival rehearsal The film, combined with Miss McCredie’s and Annabel Brentnall’s excellent speeches Year 9 Elective History excursion and our girls’ superb music performances, meant that our 133rd birthday assembly Year 2 ‘Let’s Ride’ bike education was one that the girls will remember and treasure for many years to come. AOGU meeting Abbotsleigh’s birthday gifts to girls and parents Thursday 2 August Birthdays are a great time of celebration, enjoyment and of course gifts! The girls, Year 10 Geography excursion the staff and I are very grateful to the Allard family, who, through the Sir George Allard Mason Trust, give gifts of books to the Palmer and Archdale Libraries for our girls to IPSHA Performing Arts enjoy on the occasion of the School’s Birthday every year.

Weekly boarding can offer the best of both worlds Chaplain Lyric battle – Who’s winning our girls' hearts? Rev Jenni Stoddart | Chaplain King David or One Direction? I'm the foolish one that you anointed with your heart. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. One of the above quotes is a lyric from the One Direction song 'Gotta be you'. The other is a lyric from one of King David's psalms (Psalm 139:23) written thousands of years ago. Can you guess which is which? Every day our girls face a battle for their hearts. Who will shape them, their character and the decisions they make? This term in chapel we will be looking at the life of David to see how our School Values reflect the values of the Christian faith. The record of David's life takes up more pages in the Bible than anyone except for Jesus. Why? In his story the Bible teaches us how different God's values are from humans. Where humans value strength, God values faithfulness. David was the youngest son of eight and yet God chose him to be King of Israel. Why? The Bible records that he was a man after God's own heart. David's story also gives hope for the future as it points towards Jesus and helps us understand the hope that he brings. David's strength and power came from his reliance on God. He wanted God to be the one who shaped his character and his actions. David was far from perfect and yet in his failings he kept turning back in trust to God. His story encourages us to take heart. God is not interested in how rich, beautiful or famous we are. No, he is interested in who we are. My hope is that our students will discover this term the freedom that comes from rejecting the expectations that the media surrounds them with and instead seek to be shaped in their character by the one who created them. Community Update your daughter's medical New term, new exhibition, new workshop details online Mrs Mary Faith | GCSG Director and Head of Art Mrs Colleen Fenn | Registrar Sentient Visibility We are pleased to advise that your daughter's medical The Grace Cossington Smith Gallery is delighted to present details are now available online enabling you to update your Sentient Visibility with works by nine female artists. daughter's information as necessary.

Creativity has also been highlighted in exploring the STEM subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Thinking in original ways is celebrated as girls explore the world around them. The theme word for the year has been ‘integrity’. As a school we have explored what this looks like and its importance to one’s character. Students know that integrity is linked to courage in doing the right thing, no matter what the consequences. Character growth is an important feature of an Abbotsleigh education with our values firmly grounded in our Christian faith.

  • 2019 Term 4 Basketball Information for Parents
    2019 TERM 4 BASKETBALL INFORMATION FOR PARENTS Dear Parents We are looking forward to the Term 4 IPSHA Basketball Competition. I hope your daughter has an enjoyable term while learning new skills, socialising and keeping fit. Duration : Each game is 2 x 20 minute halves with a 5 minute half time. Girls are asked to be at the game 30 minutes before the allocated start time. Uniform : ➢ PLC Sydney black PE shorts ➢ PLC Sydney NEW reversible singlet ➢ PLC Sydney tracksuit (optional) ➢ White Socks ➢ Sports Shoes ➢ Please note, there are some safety concerns with the sports shoes being worn to Saturday sport. Basketball shoes are different to walking shoes and running shoes, they primarily provide support during sidewards movement, reducing the risk of lower limb sprains. Running shoes only support the foot when running in a forward direction. Walking shoes (even those that look like sports shoes) provide​ no​ ​support ​for sport due to the soft flexible design, dramatically increasing the chance of injury. The PLC Sydney tracksuit may be worn to and from the venue. The grey zip-up sports top may be worn on Saturdays, but only underneath the school tracksuit. Hair must be tied back off the face and no jewellery is to be worn. Nails must be short. PLC Sydney caps may be worn to and from the game, however, may not be worn during the game for safety reasons. If outdoors, the soft brim green hat can be worn while playing. Wet Weather : Step 1 : Download the 'ipsha app' Step 2 : Click on 'venue closure' Please note that all games are ON until called off via that app.
