Several researchers have tried to define Day F with normal training commencing as well. the concept with one suggesting that younger children associate movement sensations as a Mr Anthony Banboukjian source of enjoyment, while older children find enjoyment in the social recognition of competence DIRECTOR OF JUNIOR SCHOOL and the experience of encouragement, excitement and challenge. So what robs our children of this ‘fun’? There can be many elements in the mix — dislike of the coach, overemphasis on winning, burnout, competing priorities — but one commonly cited culprit is parental pressure. We have all seen or heard the ‘ugly parent’ who loudly offers an opinion, abuses officials, provides ‘sideline coaching’, or even initiates altercations with other spectators. Yet pressure on children is not always so obvious. An informal survey conducted across 30 years by two former long-time coaches in America asked hundreds of college athletes what their worst memory was from playing youth and high school sports. Overwhelmingly they replied that it was the ride home from the game with their parents. The majority of parents who make this ride home miserable do so inadvertently. Their conversation about the game can range from observations about coaching decisions, officiating decisions, the skill levels of other players, and even questioning why their child forgot the techniques and strategies they’ve been practicing. On that ride home, children transition from fun- loving and exhausted player back to pressured child while their parents continue to ‘sideline coach’, and sometimes continue to do so until the following week’s game. Many kids will reach the conclusion that if they quit the sport they might get their mother or father back. Children have told researchers that they much more enjoy having their grandparents watch them play because they are simply enthusiastic spectators and are more likely to offer a smile and a hug and simply say, ‘I love watching you play’. Here are some tips on how parents can make the car ride home more enjoyable: WAVERLEY COLLEGE A Catholic Independent School for boys in the Edmund Rice tradition NURRUNGA Volume 40 No. 19 • 17 JUNE 2016 page 4 Our Lady’s Mount & Waterford From the Director of Junior School ... continued

Debating Convener Ms Cassandra Hill, who is also an English teacher at the College, believes debating enhances the boys skills in developing a rhetoric which no doubt improves their essay writing technique. During week six, the senior debaters travelled to the UNSW for a one-day competition against other independent schools from across Sydney. The boys competed in 2-3 debates throughout the day. Waverley College won five debates in total and received valuable advice and feedback from the University’s debating society. They were commended on their abilities and the outstanding manner in which they represented the College. We wish our senior debaters well for their semi- finals which are being held at Loreto Kirribilli on June 17th.

Ready for an Argument During winter, students representing Waverley College take part in two Sydney debating competitions. During Term 2, our students compete in the Catholic Schools Debating Competition while in Term 3 we move to the CAS Debating. All debates are held on Friday evenings. Students are presented with a current affairs topic and are required to plan and articulate an argument for or against. They receive their topic at 6pm and have to prepare their argument within one hour. The only resource they are allowed to use is a ABOVE: Senior Debaters at the UNSW this week. dictionary.

Collaboration with Christian Brothers High School Lewisham

On Friday 17 June I accompanied Orlando Norman (Yr 12) and Hal Cumpston (Yr11) to Christian Brothers High School in Lewisham to participate in a unique Aboriginal experience. Orlando is performing an Aboriginal monologue from a play called “No Sugar” by Jack Davis for his HSC. CBHS Lewisham have a large number of Aboriginal students and there is a wonderful teacher, Kaleb Taylor, who runs their Aboriginal Unit. I contacted him to see if he would be interested in helping Orlando with a movement piece/dance that he needs to perform at the start of his monologue. His piece is set at a corroboree. Kaleb agreed and withdrew a number of their students to participatein this special workshop. Those students were brilliant. At the beginning of the workshop they performed a special purification ritual and gave us a piece of red fabric to wear for the duration of the workshop that had been blessed by a Tribal elder. The CBHS students performed a few different dances such as the “Spear Fisherman” and the “Black bird”. Orlando and Hal were both taught how to do these dances and Orlando decided to use the“Spear Fisherman” for his piece. Orlando performed his monologue for everyone and was given some good, constructive feedback by everyone. It was a very enjoyable experience and an absolute highlight for me. I do hope our two EREA schools get to collaborate again in the future.

One of the days involves listening to Mr Sam Clear (Walk4One) tell of his adventures walking around the world for Christian Unity. Not only do the students get a vivid account of the trials and tribulations of such an undertaking but they also receive an insight into prayer, trust in God and an understanding of what ‘unity’ really means. The second day includes a visit to the Sydney Jewish Museum where a Holocaust survivor addresses the students. Here the students receive an education in the cruelty that people can inflict on one another when the dignity of every human being is ignored. The other part of this day involves guest speakers. This year we were fortunate enough to have representatives from the Refugee Council of Australia address the students, including an actual refugee who recounted her journey. Below are reflections on these events from Year 10 SRC Student Jesse Douglas: Refugee Talk The Reflection Days proved to be a very interesting experience that Year 10 participated in on the 6th and 7th of June, 2016. One of the activities involved a talk from an Iraqi refugee who spoke about her many experiences when her family fled from the conflict in Iraq to Australia. This enthralling experience was both entertaining and informing, as it discussed many realistic situations that refugees must go through to get to a safe country and the many obstacles and life threatening situations that you can be put through. Halfway through the session, the Year 10’s were split into separate groups and told to answer different problems and questions associated with Refugees. They were encouraged to solve or investigate issues such as “How would you feel as a refugee, if you moved to a strange place were you didn’t speak the language?” or “How would you feel to leave your family and friends, along with everything you know to move to a new place?” After asking a few year 10 students, many responded positively to the talk. One student, Jack Chia, said, “I was really moved by the speaker’s story; it made me think about, and feel sorry for, the other people still stuck in the limbo of the Refugee Detention Centres”. Sydney Jewish Museum Sam Clear – Walk4One Adam McCabe (Year 10 SRC) recounts his visit to the On one of the Year 10 Reflection Days, the students Sydney Jewish Museum: ventured to “The Centre” in Randwick to listen to a On the 7th and the 8th of June half of the Year 10 Year talk from, Mr Sam Clear.

In view from a Holocaust Survivor that detailed her whole the talk he told the Year 10 groups about the many experience, from being captured to the day that she hardships and difficulties that he had to go through was liberated when she from the Concentration Camp. on his “walk for unity”.

Unfortunately we are very much tied to decisions on ground closures for the hosting schools, councils and Centennial Park Trust. Updates on the wet weather line and ‘SkoolBag App’ are made as soon as we are able to do. Please check these messages regularly for any changes. Except for a selection of teams there is no training next week. However we do have the House Athletics Carnival at ES Marks next Thursday. This is a great opportunity for many students to be identified for the privilege of being part of the 2016 Track and Field squad. It is also an expectation that members of A/B Football, AFL and Rugby sides also participate in the Athletics squad. Any other student who wishes to take part is welcome. The Track and Field season is only a 4 week program but culminates in the CAS Championships which is one of the highlights of the sporting calendar. There will pre-season Athletics training in the holidays every Tuesday and Thursday at QP at 7am for all of the Middle Distance and Sprinters. We also have a number of 1sts / 2nds teams training in the break and I thank those coaches for giving up the extra time in their holiday break to train these boys.
