From our early beginnings, it was through the generosity of our community that BGS derived the ability to provide an outstanding education for boys. This tradition of generosity continues to this day thanks to our community of parents, Old Boys, staff, volunteers and donors. Over the past few years, the BGS community has rallied together to support Campaign 2020, with the goal to raise $20M by 2020 for our Bursary Fund, which enables boys in financial need to attend Brisbane Grammar School. Our aspirations for a sustainable Bursary Fund, with the capacity to provide needs-based bursarial support for 10% of the student population (170 boys), is close to being achieved. With $14.5M raised, we are moving into the final phase of this campaign – Our 2020 Vision – with $5.5M to go. In 2018, BGS provided bursarial assistance for 44 boys without having to draw on either the School’s operational budget or the capital of the fund. The entire community supported this endeavour, with contributions from parents, Old Boys and staff vital to the continued growth of the fund. I extend a heartfelt thanks to the P&F Auxiliary for their generous ongoing support, pledging $500,000 for a bursary in perpetuity, and to our 332 parent and Old Boy donors who continue to support BGS initiatives.

The tour will begin in Vancouver, British Columbia on February 21 st and run straight into SXSW. The Church will also be performing at SXSW along with sitting for a very special interview at the convention. Tickets for all shows are on sale now at: http://thechurchband.net/ A brand new video for "Vanishing Man" debuted this morning at GuitarWorld.com. You can watch the clip here: http://www.guitarworld.com/church-premiere-vanishing-man-music-video After over three decades of making music in various formats, lineups, places and cognitive states, this is a band who have committed, even succumbed, to exploring unchartered sonic territories. The next chapter comes in the form of new music, a new band member and a chance for that to be shared with old fans and new ones through the release of The Church’s 25th studio album titled Further/Deeper. Rolling Stone Australia recently gave the new album four stars while remarking: “Kilbey's somnambulistic vocals and a sense of mystery and intrigue, will never grow old, even 25 albums in. Long may they strum.” At this stage of the journey, Further/Deeper seems both unimaginable and the only option on their endless quest from chaos to resolution.

    Newsletter Week 7 Term 2 Friday 7 June 2019 Harlin House Dinner – Friday 31 May In this issue BGSClosing Newsletter the Gap | Lead Article Gymnastics history Acting talent Deputy Headmaster – Staff Ed Roper Our Executive Director – Educational Innovation, Ms Jacqui Zervos, spoke to the boys at assembly earlier this year about self-regulated learning. Her valuable point was that learning is challenging. To memorise without developing understanding does not build meaning and is seldom long lasting. Learning is a challenge and there is a problem with making learning too easy. Ms Zervos quoted EM Foster: ‘Spoon feeding, in the long run, teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon’. Real learning involves stretching beyond our comfort zone so that we can grow cognitively, socially and emotionally. Her message was that learning is and should be a challenge, but with the support of peers, teachers and families, and by developing our capacities to persist, organise ourselves and show endeavour, we are developing the skills of self-regulation. Self-regulating our learning involves monitoring ourselves, our thinking and our motivation as we learn. This helps us accommodate and respond to the discomfort of the challenge of learning, leading to academic achievement despite what has been termed ‘situational distractions’. As the end of semester approaches and the number of assignments and other assessment tasks increases, learning and self-regulation are important. The stress of completing more assessments in a short period presents a situational distraction. Parents and teachers can support students while they are experiencing pressure to meet due dates, complete revision and prepare for in-class assessments.

The significant occasion acknowledges and recognises members of the Stolen Generation and provides our Indigenous students with an opportunity to share their stories with the BGS community. Year 10 boarder Michael Dingo, whose homeland is 1000km north of Perth, began the assembly by sharing his story. Read more about the important event in the story immediately following by Director of Student Wellbeing, Philippa Douglas. May has been home to our cultural season for many years now. The School has a proud tradition of both participation and excellence in the arts. The boys participate enthusiastically in the Music, Drama and Art programs, learning important life skills like self-discipline, teamwork, confidence, resilience, imagination and creativity. On Sunday, we had the pleasure of being entertained by our most talented musicians and marvelled at the expertise and engagement of our Music staff. Grammar in Concert showcased our finest musical ensembles in an event titled Rhythm and Soul. As is the case each year, I was in awe of the boys’ craftsmanship, the professionalism of Music staff and the selfless contribution of the Music Support Group. The combined efforts of these three groups provided those in attendance with a beautiful demonstration of the importance of the arts in any boy’s educational journey. I want to thank Head of Music, Mr Peter Ingram for his stewardship of the event; Ms Miranda Ward for her administration; the Music Support Group for their commitment; St Laurence’s College for allowing use of their Performing Arts Centre; and, most importantly, the boys of BGS and girls from BGGS for providing us with a wonderful afternoon of entertainment.
