From the Principal….

ASIA EDUCATION FOUNDATION CONFERENCE

This week I was fortunate enough to attend this second conference from the Asia Education Foundation. Last year the conference was in Melbourne and this year it was sited in Sydney. Delegates from all over Australia, and from all sectors of Education, attended the conference. The conference was over three days and we heard a range of speakers and attended workshop sessions. We began on Monday morning at the opening session with Scott Ryan, MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Education. This was followed by a terrific panel discussion with panellists, Hayley Bolding, Lead, Young People Without Borders, Professor Okhwa Lee, Chungbuk National University Republic of Korea, Natsuko Ogawa, Partner, Ashurst Australia and Dr Gene Sherman AM, Director, Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation.

The topic was “The Growth of Asia” but also Australia’s place in this growth and the importance of education in making the right connections with Asia. After this session I chose a workshop group, which was “New World: Preparing teachers for a global classroom” run by Dr Libby Tudball, Monash University. After lunch on Monday I went to “Spotlight on Schools: Learning from, with and about Asia – Across the Curriculum” and then one called “New thinking: Leading Asia literate schools.

Late in the afternoon we were all back together and we had an inspiring talk from Pallavi Sharda, Australia’s Bollywood Actress; and what an interesting person she is! Born to two PhD parents, Pallavi was academically gifted and completed high school in five years. Pallavi commenced her triple degrees of Law, Media & Communications and French at the University of Melbourne when she was sixteen years old, and completed her degrees in five years also. Her passion is the Performing Arts, especially Bollywood dancing. She is extremely popular in India as well as in Australia. Pallavi is a very articulate young woman who, for an hour, described to us her life as an Indian child growing up in Australia, then as a highly educated academic, changing her life to a Bollywood dancer. Pallavi had no script, she simply sat there and talked about her experiences, which I’m ashamed to say, weren’t always good as a child. The world really has changed as we are learning more and more about different cultures and different languages. Although there are some members of Australian society who are very resistant to learning about Asia, our multi- cultural society has brought an incredible richness to the way we live our lives. Pallavi took questions at the end before we all went to the Welcome Reception where we were entertained by school children and their fantastic Korean drumming before the close of Day 1.

Day 2 began with a session with Professor Fazal Rizvi from The University of Melbourne. I have heard Prof. Rizvi before and he speaks passionately about the need to continue our learning of Asia in new forms as our society keeps changing, and almost re-formatting. After Prof. Rizvi, His Excellency General, The Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (ret’d), Governor-General, Commonwealth of Australia, spoke to us. His Excellency was strong in his praise of Australian schools connecting with Asian schools but also reiterated the need for our society to be working with companies and governments in Asia. He did give some examples of very successful partnerships which provided jobs and economic opportunities. He also stayed for morning tea and was very generous with his time and meeting many of us during the morning.

My next workshop group was “New Thinking: Developing our future workforce: what Asia capabilities do Australian businesses need?” presented by James Hogan, Head of Commercial Banking, HSBC Australia. James certainly supported the information given to us by Sir Peter Cosgrove and, again, gave many examples of successful business opportunities with Asian countries. Those of us who have lived in Australia all our lives, including myself, had our eyes opened to the number of Australians who have lived in Asia for many, many years and have been very successful in their business ventures. I had chosen this workshop so I could further understand what the end result is of our children connecting closely with Asia and, as I expected, there really is not only a need for connection with Asian countries, but the future is quite optimistic for our children and their chosen careers.

The next session was labelled “Spotlight on Schools” and this is where I gave my presentation. I was part of a group sharing experiences of sister–school relationships to a wider group. The presentation was very well received as many schools are just starting into their journey with sister schools and wanted to hear more about our experiences. I also enjoyed hearing from other speakers who had sister schools in places such as Bhutan, where Aussie kids had a wonderful experience hiking with children from their sister school.

My last Master Class session was with the children’s author, Christopher Cheng. Christopher writes books with incredible historical accuracy and we followed his family’s journey in China and Australia. Children learn through stories, in fact most of us love stories, and Christopher tells the history of the Chinese in Australia through his stories. Do keep a watch out for his books.

The last session of Day 2 was all of us back together with Fred Smith, Singer, Songwriter and Diplomat. Some of you would have seen Australian Story featuring Fred. He has worked in many troubled regions of the world including Bougainville in New Guinea and Kandahar in Afghanistan. Fred works for the Australian Government but includes the world wide love of music in his dealings with people. I have seen him sing in a small music club setting and he was terrific but on Tuesday he was mesmerising in a big auditorium with a large audience. He is a humble speaker and a straight talker and told of the horrors of conflict and the wonders of human connection in war. A great end to the day!

My last day was spent at the Art Gallery of NSW in the exhibition, “Theatre of Dreams, Theatre of Play: Nô and Kôgen in Japan”. Through viewing the exhibition and listening to curator talks we learnt all about these forms of Japanese theatre with their elaborate masks and costumes. This is a very special exhibition to come to Australia as the Japanese Government does not usually allow these beautiful items to go out of Japan.

Over the next weeks I will be briefing staff on our next steps to fully integrate Asian literacy into our curriculum so that our children will be well prepared for the future.

3-Way Conferences

Tomorrow, your child’s report will be sent home in an envelope addressed to parents of the child. In the last week of term, 3-Way Conferences will be held to discuss the report and set goals for next term. 15 minutes has been allocated for each conference, however, if you wish to speak to the teacher for longer then you are able to book in another time early next term.

We do ask that every family make a time to come to a conference with your child. Bookings for the conferences can be made online with instructions sent home in a note with your eldest child Tuesday of last week. Booking for interviews will be open from Friday 13th June and will close at 5pm on Friday 20th June. There will also be a link from our Facebook page.

TOURS

I am still conducting tours of the school for potential Prep enrolments for 2015. The end of this term is coming up very fast and we would really like all enrolments in by the end of this term so that we can plan for next year. This applies to all schools in the Maroondah Network.

Kalinda Disco – Oh What a Night!

What a wonderful Saturday night it was at the Neon Disco! The room looked fantastic as did all the disco-goers in their neon gear! It was a great success with everyone behaving well and enjoying their time boogying the night away.

A lot of time and effort goes into the success of the disco. Without the dedication of the many wonderful parents at our school, we could not host such events. In the lead up, many hours are spent making notices, collecting money, collating food orders, organizing decorations, ordering food, etc. Along with us, Virginia, Simone, Jeanette, Ted, Bryan, Hanna, Kylie F. and Kellie gave up much of their time in preparation of the disco. We had many wonderful helpers setting up the hall from 3pm in the afternoon to turn it into the fantastic 'night club' that you saw! On the night we had helpers in the kitchen, we had people doing the signing in and signing out and we had security guards helping out inside and also out in the cold. All of these people pulled together to make the disco a fabulous event for all the attendees.

To see the delight on the kids’ faces as they danced with their friends makes it all worthwhile!

Thanks so very much to all who were involved.

HAPPY READING! 6

Relay For Life

Relay for Life is an event which started in 1985 when a doctor in USA decided to run around his local oval for 24 hours to raise funds for a local cancer charity. And things have grown from there with events now taking place annually at multiple venues across 20 countries. The idea is to take turns to keep your teams’ baton moving in a relay walk or run with the goal of raising funds for the Cancer Council through sponsorship and donations.

So why relay? Many of us know friends or family members who have been diagnosed with cancer. Everyone has their own story. The Relay For Life is a way of showing support, remembering loved ones, celebrating successful treatments and raising funds to assist in research, prevention, education and support services for people undergoing treatment and their families.

Our own Mrs Johns is an organizer for the Maroondah Relay For Life and our Team Captain. This years event will take place on Saturday November 15th 2014 from 4pm to the following morning at 10am. We would love you to join our team for 1 lap of the oval or for the entire event if your feet allow!

It is quite an experience! The event starts with accompaniment of live local bands. There are activities for children and stalls providing refreshment. As darkness sets in there is a candle ceremony and lighting of hope bags which line the oval. In the middle of the night as it quietens down the candles light the track and there is time for reflection.

Then as the sun rises, a bacon and egg roll never tasted so good!

We would love you to be a part of Team Kalinda! If you are interested please either sign up via the Relay for life website (www.relayforlife.org.au) or talk to myself or Mrs Johns for more information.

LEGO CLUB

Lego Club would like to say a big thank you to Nicole Sweeney and family who have donated a huge tub of Lego to our club. There was a lot of excitement last week when we opened it up and started building! Also, a belated thank you to the Harvey family who donated a Lego play table.

Lego Club runs every Monday in the Library at lunchtime. If you love Lego and would like to come along and meet some new friends in Prep to Grade 2, come along and give it a try.

The Library is also open to read a book, do some drawing or play a game of chess on Mondays.

See you there,

Callum finished 23rd in his event, Judson finished 24th and Joel finished an extremely competitive 14th in the 13 years race (basically against a field of high- school students!).

OSHClub News Before School / After School Care Program Term 2 – Week 8 Program Update Hello Everyone,

This week OSHClub has turned into a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Last week the kids decided they wanted a Harry Potter theme and created a schedule of activities for the week, including quidditch, divination and the sorting ceremony.

It has been great to see all OSH kids participate in the activities organised by their peers. We have created mystical monster drawings, played quidditch, been mystified by our divination class, built a Gryffindor common room and played a game of dementor freeze tag. The kids have been eating afternoon tea in their designated Hogwarts houses and this is often followed by an imaginative game of witches and wizards.

For the rest of the week we plan to make chocolate spiders, attend our potions class, play the moaning myrtle game and hold a flour tower and chopstick challenge. Next week we are looking at holding an OSHClub Amazing Race based on the television series. We will also be engaging in range of craft activities such as finger knitting and pasta jewellery.

For those attending OSHClub and are wishing to book their kids into a holiday program, go onto the OSHClub website and you will see a list of available schools along with the weekly activities, costs and contact details. Feel free to chat to our staff at BSC and ASC we will provide you with the necessary information.
