From the Principal Vol. 20 No. 25, 27 August 2014 Review weekly Contents From the Principal From the Principal The ‘Navy Blue’ spirit Winter Intercol 2014 “Prepare the child for the path…” Prep Book Week Wellbeing in schools can come in all shapes and sizes; it can, and should, affect every aspect of SA Schools Orienteering school life. Local, national and international research has confirmed that teachers and schools Championships are among the most significant protective factors for children. Positive school experiences, particularly encouraging and supportive relationships with teachers and adult mentors, make a Pulteney @ the GOV significant difference. Band and Orchestra festival Success This does not mean that we protect our children from any and all harms. This is simply Rowing impossible. I’ve had a favourite saying for some time now: “Prepare the child for the path, not Wellbeing the path for the child”. I don’t know when or where I came across it but it summarises Careers Corner everything I believe about my purpose as an educator and parent. Pulteney Shop The idea that we can map our children’s daily life course and make their path as smooth and trouble free as possible is simply unrealistic and counter-productive to their development. Senior Sport Notices Learning about life’s challenges (large or small) through uncomfortable or difficult experiences Prep Sport Notices encourages children to develop problem solving skills, courage and perseverance – attributes I am sure we want all of our children to have. For parents, mentors and teachers with the responsibility for supporting the growth and development of children and adolescents, it is reassuring to know that we can and do have a highly significant and positive impact on the social and emotional development of the young people in our care; but we cannot, and should not, protect them fully from adversity. Instead, we can work together to equip our children with the necessary skills to not only survive but thrive in a world full of change. Winter Intercol I was very proud of all of our Pulteney Grammar students competing in the Winter Intercol against Scotch College on Saturday 23 August. The Girls Netball and Boys Soccer wins were outstanding, with great skills shown in both games. Whilst our collective teams did not win overall, the students’ perseverance, team spirit and grace in losing and in victory were wonderful to witness.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Sports Association for Adelaide Schools
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Sports Association for Adelaide Schools PO Box 279 Glenelg SA 5045 REPORT GENERAL MANAGER In general taking the role of General Manager of SAAS has been a very challenging one. As an organisation there has been little change or improvement over the last 20 years as the organisation has operated on a subsistence level with resourcing at a bare minimum. This has accordingly created a great deal of antiquation which will take a great deal of effort and resourcing to update many of the processes that are literally decades behind. The process has also focused on providing full flexibility to school needs with not much concern given to the overall competitions hence there has been little consistency and accordingly features that are part of most sporting competitions, such as Premiership Tables and Finals, have hardly featured in the SAAS competitions whatsoever. With a completion of a strategic plan SAAS in the near future there needs to ba a focus on better resourcing itself as an organisation and enhancement its processes and structures to create more consistent and meaningful competitions that will better service its member schools in the future. SAAS is an important organisation with a very healthy position in regards to participation and delivering good sporting opportunities to its member schools. Its programs are enormous with significant diversity and its member schools provide high quality venues and coaching which all members should be very proud. A great deal of credit must go to the staff in the schools that coordiante these programs. Matt Miles General Manager The following sporting competitions were conducted in 2017 2017 SPORTING COMPETITIONS 2017 SPORTING AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL The Australian Rules Football competition was conducted in Term 2 and 3 with 142 teams competing in 18 divisions.
