Please enjoy the first edition of CONNECT! David Jones, Principal Carinya: From Christ and For Him Carinya started 36 years ago and during that time we have had the privilege of educating thousands of students. Starting with only a small handful of students, parents from Trinity Church worked hard to establish Carinya. Parents sought a genuine Christian education, where home and school worked in partnership to bring up children together. By the year 2000, Carinya had over 700 students and there was little left of the original dairy on which the school was originally located. Currently our enrolments, including pre-kindergarten classes, are approximately 800. Society and education have also changed considerably since the school started, with technology impacting in both positive and negative ways. Carinya is affiliated with Christian Education National and the Australian Association of Christian Schools. These groups provide us with advocacy at a government level, and a critical grounding in Christian Education. We are also a part of the NSW Association of Independent Schools, which comprises of over 1000 schools and 550,000 students. Carinya is committed to providing quality, Christian education. The three words printed on the entrance to the school help express our approach to teaching and learning - CHRIST, COMMUNITY, DISCOVERY. 2 Christ Community Discovery At Carinya, Jesus is the core We are made for community Every square inch of this reason that we exist and is at and schools provide an exciting, universe is made and the centre of everything we do. dynamic environment to learn and controlled by our sovereign The way we view children and serve each other.

WHY ATTEND? There are many reasons why your child may not be able to attend school, however it is important that a valid reason is given. This should be provided to the school within 7 days of the absence. The Principal of the school can decide not to accept the reason given for the absence or require additional information. If this is not provided the absence may be recorded as an unjustified absence. Some reasons why your child should attend include: • Legal Responsibilities: The Education Act 1990 requires that children are enrolled in a school and regularly attend between the ages of 6 and 17.

In deciding to bring the MANSW Annual Conference to the Blue Mountains this year, I wanted our theme to be related to the mountains in some way. In particular, the graphic that we have used this year stood out to me as a graphic that epitomises our work as teachers. To teach effectively, it is not enough to explain our knowledge, experiences, to talk students through the journey they will go on, all the potholes they may fall in, how to navigate, how to plan for bad weather, how to move up the mountain… you have to walk it with them, and help them on the way, adjusting as you go. We are excited to be able to welcome many educators to our conference this year, and there are many notable events to look forward to. On Friday morning we have two excellent speakers: Mark Harrison and Angela D’Angelo. Mark Harrison has a background in Mathematics and Psychology and will speak to us about Growth Mindset, in particular how understanding student mindsets can deeply influence our effectiveness in the classroom. Angela D’Angelo, one of the recipients of a Premier’s Teaching Scholarship in 2016, will continue the conversation around Growth Mindset as well as discuss her journey over the last year.

  • Annual Report
    Christian Schools Sports Association Annual Report Executive Officers Report 26 years ago on the 28 September 1988 the Christian Schools Sports Association was formed and became an incorporated body. Many of our founding Principals have retired in the past few years leaving the responsibility of upholding & maintaining their vision to foster Christian thought and practice through sporting events within and between schools with you and me. Many outside the Associations may ask “Why have a Christian Sports Association?” The motto of Covenant Christian School is "All Knowledge through Christ". They state: …..The Christian believes that there are no neutral facts, that everything is related to God and has significance beyond this life. ... Christian education involves every subject of knowledge.. ... Christian education requires a Christian point of view for the whole curriculum; a God-centred program in every department ... A Christian School seeks to be Christian every hour of the school day. www.covenant.nsw.edu.au/why-christian-school.html As sports teachers and coaches we have a unique relationship with our students. We have the opportunity to share our faith with them and show them what it means to be a Christian both on and off the sporting field. By doing this we are not only proclaiming the Kingdom of God but bringing glory & honour to our Lord Jesus Christ. A former coach from Washington Redskins “Vince Lombardi” was famous for his statement: “Winning isn’t the most important thing: it is the only thing” Shortly before Vince Lombardi died he declared: “I wish I’d never said it.

    An overview of Stile, Australia’s #1 science resource provider EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR SCHOOL LEADERS Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 2 Table of contents Welcome letter 3 How we are rethinking science education > Our principles 5 > Our pedagogy 7 > Our approach 9 A simple solution > Stile Classroom 12 > Squiz 14 > Professional learning 15 > Stile Concierge 16 Key benefits 17 The Stile community of schools 19 The rest is easy 24 Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 3 It’s time to rethink science at school I’m continuously awestruck by the sheer power of science. In a mere 500 years, a tiny fraction of humanity’s long history, science – and the technological advances that have stemmed from it – has completely transformed every part of our lives. The scale of humanity’s scientific transformation in such a short period is so immense it’s hard to grasp. My grandmother was alive when one of the world’s oldest airlines, Qantas, was born. In her lifetime, flight has become as routine as daily roll call. Disease, famine and the toll of manual labour that once ravaged the world’s population have also been dramatically reduced. Science is at the heart of this progress. Given such incredible advancement, it’s tempting to think that science education must be in pretty good shape. Sadly, it isn’t. We could talk about falling PISA rankings, or declining STEM enrolments. But instead, and perhaps more importantly, let’s consider the world to which our students will graduate. A world of “fake news” and “alternative facts”.

  • Annual Report
    Christian Schools Sports Association Annual Report Executive Officers Report As I start writing this report I am sitting at the CSSA Primary State Tennis GD watching the Yr 5/6 Boys finals. It is so encouraging to see the boys play with not only the determination to win but with a spirit of good sportsmanship, congratulating each other after a winning shot. The day began in prayer acknowledging God for all that He has done and thanking Him for the gifts and talents He has given us. It is such a privilege to be part of a school system where we can be open about our faith in God and speak to our students about their relationship with Jesus. I would like to share the following story from Lisa Mallard at Northern Beaches CS which shows how blessed we are to be part of the Christian Schools Sports Association: The day before we played our 1st game in the Primary State Cricket KO Competition one of our Yr 5 boys passed away from a brain tumour. He was part of our team and was amazingly passionate about his cricket. The boys in the team only found out the night before the game and had to leave early the next day before they could meet with school counselors & the rest of their class mates. There were lots of tears and the boys wore arm bands for their friend. Their coach & the boys prayed together before the game and there was a real sense of looking after each other - our opponents Pacific Hills CS were so supportive.
