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.

Pulteney @ the GOV An amazing night was had by all, both patrons and performers, at our annual Pulteney @ the Gov Night, held at the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel. The room was packed to capacity, with parents, friends and students enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. After a brief introduction from hosts Imogen Loftes and Nick Winter, the evening of music kicked off with our dynamic Drum Corps. Ensembles from the Year 10 and 11 music classes performed songs from Crowded House to the Four Preps, with a brilliant, professional sounding backing. Highlights included the rap by Willand Huynh from the song, “New York State of Mind”, the Year 10 “Blues Brothers” mega mix, as well as an incredible performance of Christina Aguilera’s “Ain’t no other man.” The major ensembles performed with an exciting sound and great musicianship. Jazz on the Terrace, with their tight vocal harmonies, sang such classics as “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” to the Cole Porter classic, “Let’s Face the Music and Dance”. The Stage Band once again entertained with dazzling technical playing, with Charlie Parker’s “Ornithology” and songs to really tap your feet to, including the perennial favourite, “Love is in the Air” and Stevie Wonder classic, “I Wish” with the always very entertaining, Nick Winter, on vocals. The Grammarphones choir was not to be outclassed with three wonderful upbeat songs including the rock anthem, ”Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, and the popular “Happy” song by Pharrell Williams, as well as a very clever and funny “Syncopated Clock”. The night also featured our Concert Band with vocalist, Imogen Loftes, singing some of the repertoire we presented in Sydney, including an Adele medley with towering vocals, and the sensitive, “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables. The band also presented a tribute piece to our service men and women in the “Dambusters March” evoking great pride and reverence. The Friends of Music continued their outstanding work in hosting the event, conducting a brilliant and highly entertaining raffle, hosted by Emily Johnson and Nick Winter. The night was a wonderful success. I would like to thank our wonderful teachers who performed and helped on the day: Mark Bourchier, Bob Gigney, Kym Wilson, Ruth Howley, Sue Mears, Paul Jankovic, Frank Fragomeni and Laura vom Berg. I would also like to thank the management from the Gov Hotel for their beautiful hospitality, sponsorship and help and the amazing parents who also helped with the pack down. Make sure you book early next year for the return concert! Band and Orchestra festival Success What a wonderful week of music-making we have had in the past week at the SA School Band and Orchestra Festival! With performances from all the top music programs in South Australian schools, the festival was a total immersion in musicianship and culture. We had five ensembles participate this year with wonderful results across all areas. With very young ensembles compared to other larger programs, Pulteney once again impressed the adjudicators. One comment from the chief adjudicator was that “there is really something great happening at Pulteney in music right now!” With comments like this, one can see how the String Ensemble won their section as well as the Training Band. This was a brilliant effort and a compliment to the students in both ensembles and their directors, Mrs Howley and Ms Beaston. Last year, the Concert Band won the section and moved up to the advanced category, coming 4th out of eight advanced schools and gaining a silver award. The Stage Band played an amazing program of bebop and swing jazz against a very strong field of players gaining a bronze. To top off a terrific week, our percussion ensembles both just missed placing top, with two silvers awarded in the drum corps and tuned percussion section. Pulteney once again is making a high mark in the musical fraternity of Adelaide colleges and schools.

I would like to take this opportunity to say how proud I was of all the music students’ efforts in the championship. I would also like to thank the directors of all the ensembles: Dr Parnell, Mr Fragomeni, Mrs Howley and Ms Beaston, for their professionalism and time in getting the ensembles to fantastic standards of performance, and Ali O’Connell for coordinating all the logistics of the week.

Glen Mears, Head of Music

Wellbeing

“THE REAL GAME” This semester, during Wellbeing lessons, all Year 7 students have been participating in “The Real Game”, an innovative, interactive and experiential careers program that enables students to explore many aspects of life in the 21st Century.

During the “The Real Game”, students explore many different aspects of life as an adult, including careers, budgets, time management, goal setting and work-life balance.

Participating in The Real Game allows students to:

• Assume an adult work role and explore aspects of adult life in a safe, supportive environment • Realise the importance of mastering essential workplace skills, knowledge and attitudes • Understand the value of all work and the importance of ongoing education, teamwork, and positive attitudes • Learn how school courses are relevant to future life and work roles

Through the ‘game’, students are encouraged to develop positive attitudes toward the future that can help them to shape the lives they want to live. The Real Game program is designed to introduce a wide range of available occupations and give students career exploration skills, not to direct them to particular occupations. Later in the year, it is hoped that the students will be involved in a ‘Careers Exhibition’, where they will be able to present the information and knowledge they have gained throughout the program to each other, their parents and the wider community. It is also hoped that we might organise some guest speakers to come and share their ‘career stories’ with the students. If you would like to be involved in this, please let us know.

The following is a reflection on “The Real Game” so far by Olivia Cameron (8MS): This term, during Year 7 Wellbeing lessons, we have been doing “The Real Game.” The Real Game gives us an insight into real adult life and teaches us that we can’t have the best car or biggest house, and we have to spend inside our income. Throughout the real game we have to: choose which house, car, leisure items and hobbies we can have and afford, find out what job we’ve been assigned and complete a day in our working life, complete an interview about the working world, and make a resumé. In The Real Game I’m a restaurant manager who earns $3,300 per month, with a part-time job as waiter and 4 weeks of vacation per year. We each have a wish list, which contains what house, car, luxury items and hobbies we have. The first time I did my whish list I put down the nicest car and the biggest house along with many other luxury items. Then we had to do the reality check where we had to see if we could afford our wish list with our budgets. My wish list was way too expensive for my budget so I had to make some major cut backs to my expenses. I’m quite enjoying The Real Game, and I’m learning a lot about the real world and how you can’t have the best of everything, I think I’m going to be thankful for The Real Game later in life when I go to University and get a job.

Careers Corner Congratulations to Joshua Kurpita – 2013 Australian Vocational Student Prize Recently we were informed that Joshua has been awarded one of the 2013 Australian Vocational Student Prizes, a prestigious award, celebrating the achievements of young people who choose to study Vocational Educational and Training (VET) in schools. While completing his education at Pulteney, Joshua studied a Certificate II in Electro-technology as part of his Year 11 and 12 SACE studies, to allow him to begin his career journey as an Electrician. It was Joshua’s exceptional attitude, work ethic and skill that were displayed during his VET studies that inspired the school to nominate him for such an award. While studying his VET course, Joshua also managed to achieve a ‘Most Improved’ certificate for his school studies, took part in co-curricular activities for the school, held down a part-time job, completed his Bronze Duke of Edinburgh award and carried out his role of Cawthorne-Nicholls House Captain. Joshua was an outstanding young man, who was able to benefit from the inclusion of vocational learning as part of his senior school studies.

Below is an extract from Joshua’s ‘Australian Student Vocational Prize’ application: “Enrolling in a VET in Schools program was suggested to me by my career counselor when selecting Year 11 subjects, as I’ve wanted to be an electrician for as long as I can remember, playing around with projects at home with my Dad for many years. The VET course was a great introduction to the world of Electronics. Combining this with school studies worked really well, reinforcing my choice to pursue a career as an Electrician. At the end of my first year, I received the Outstanding Student Award and I was really excited about continuing the course to complete my Certificate II the following year. It has given me great practical and theoretical experience, exposure to the work force and a chance to excel in front of my peers, which has been great for my confidence. Whilst completing work experience, I worked with Marc. He was so impressed with my work ethic, the initiative I showed and my interaction with clients, that he offered me an apprenticeship, which I will begin next year. Missing a day of school each week to study meant I needed to be really organised: rescheduling missed lessons, meeting with teachers to catch up on work and prioritising my workload. Whilst challenging at times, it has made me more independent and has taught me some great ‘life lessons’. This year I have been a Year 12 leader, which has meant engaging and interacting with younger students, whilst being a role model. I have captained the A grade volleyball team, been in the First XVIII football team, and outside of school, I work part time. I’m really excited about next year and building on this foundation.”

Congratulations Joshua on your outstanding achievements! This award is a fabulous outcome for you, and is deserved recognition of your terrific work in your area of interest. Since leaving school, Joshua has taken up an apprenticeship as an Electrician. VET (Vocational Education and Training) Courses Students studying in one ninety at Pulteney are able to access VET courses to study as part of their SACE. Students can choose a VET course to begin a vocational pathway, for example as a plumber, electrician or hairdresser, or as a ‘taster’ course, to explore possible career opportunities, like architectural drafting or fashion design. VET courses can run during school hours, or after school, and offer students a great opportunity to develop practical skills and learn in a different environment. In addition to SACE credits, students studying a VET course will also receive a nationally recognised qualification. There is a huge range of VET courses available for students to choose from. If your child is interested in exploring VET as an option, more information is available at http://training.vetnetwork.org.au or contact me at the school.

Year 12 SATAC applications The Year 12 SATAC application process is now open for 2015 University study. Year 12 students have until Tuesday 30 September to register their intention to put in an application, without incurring a late fee of $105.00. My advice to students who are unsure of their career preferences, is to log on to www.satac.edu.au and add a generalist degree by Tuesday 30 September. They then have until January 5 2015 to add any other preferences they might be interested in studying or change the order of their preferences. This way they avoid the late fee and also give themselves time to ‘nut out’ their preferred pathway. I am certainly available to assist students (and parents) with this process, although the students will need to do the ‘soul searching’ and ‘decision making’ in relation to their future careers!

Changes to University Bonus Points Scheme - 2016 entry The three SA universities are replacing all current equity and subject bonus point schemes with two new bonus schemes. The new schemes will come in to operation for students studying Year 12 in 2015, who apply for entry to studies commencing in the 2016 university academic year.

Soccer First XI defeated Scotch College 5 – 1 Goal Scorer: Apo Stamatelopoulos 2, Nathan Reade 2. Dom Talladira 1 Best Players: Dion Vithoulkas, Luis Wiltshire, Nathan Reade The Intercol against Scotch College was by far our best game of the season, not because of the score line but in the manner of how the players conducted themselves and how they stuck to our structure and game plan. The entire squad was switched on from the very beginning and it was a pleasure to sit back and watch. Some of our movement with the ball and without the ball was outstanding. I wish the year 12’s all the very best for their upcoming exams and for future prospects. To the rest of the players; have a great end of year and we will see all players ready to go for season 2015.

Second XI drew with Scotch College 2 – 2 Goal Scorers: Alex Tynan, Jiung Kim Best Players: Jake Nayler, Jake Cooke-Tilley, Alex Tynan The team played very well, and were the dominant team for 60-70minutes. Some decisions went against us, with two goals disallowed. The passing and ball control shown by the boys was pleasing to finish the season on.

Middle A lost to Scotch College 0 – 2 Best players: a great team effort. Anytime a team is 1-nil down in the first minute against a substantially physically larger team there is the potential they will be completely dominated and destroyed. However, after giving up an early goal Pulteney took the game to Scotch and although both teams had numerous opportunities to score Pulteney were desperately unlucky not to equalise. Quality passing and support play meant Scotch were often chasing the ball and our players. Constant pressing forwards towards the end of the game in search for the equaliser committed players into attack and Scotch caught us on the break to score a second with a few minutes to go. Still Pulteney persisted and with a couple of attacks into the box had opportunities to level the game. Super effort.

Middle B lost to Scotch College 0 – 5 Best players: Alex Young, Luka Amorico, Alistair Porter Unfortunately we had a slow start to the game and weren’t switch on. We conceded goals early and despite many attacks forward in the second half, couldn’t convert. A strong end to the season.

Year 7 defeated Scotch College 6 – 3 Goal Scorers: Jake Reedman 3, Seth Dolphin 1, Hugh Brunning 1, Alex Misfud Best players: Seth Dolphin, Jake Reedman, Jasper Cundell A great win for the boys!

Girls First XI lost to Scotch College 0 – 1 Best Players: Ella Wiltshire, Imogen Loftes, Mia Pazios A disappointing loss to Scotch in the biggest game of the season. Unfortunately one of the two shots they had on goal hit the back of the net, and the multiple shots we had couldn’t. The girls pressed hard forward in the second half, passing the ball around very well without reward. A good game to watch despite the result.

Girls Second XI lost to Scotch College 0 - 1 Best players: Emma Henshall, Lillie Bailey, Georgia Zuill The girls didn’t play to the best of their ability in a crunch game. Without our starting keeper and against stronger opposition, the odds were stacked against us. The girls battled hard and were competitive throughout the game, we even had the chance to level at times. Everyone tried hard until the final whistle.

Girls Middle A defeated St Peter’s College 3 – 0 Goal scorers: Imogen Evans, Sophie Zuill and Aliyah Balacano. Best players: Aliyah Balacano, Pippa Adkins, Sophie Zuill.

Well played girls for a win. Thanks to the girls that helped to fill in. Girls Middle B defeated Scotch College 2 - 0 Goal Scorers: Luana Nichinonni, Shona Heath Best players: Shona Heath, Emily Wilson, Grace Bourke With the girls playing against a team above their standard, they did an excellent job and played one of their best games of the season. Managing to score 2 goals and dominating the field keeping the ball in the attacking half.
