  • February 2016
    FEBRUARY 2016 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Taking every opportunity that comes your way It has been a great start to the term and already I can see many students taking the big steps to grow their potential. Every experience, every success, every failure builds our ability to grow. Action fuels fulfilment, unpacks experiences and provides colour and texture to our lives. I challenge all students to set a goal of refining and improving one area of their subjects every week. Striving for your best will inspire others! Schools are places that successfully manage a huge number of individual students…1100 in fact here! We endeavour to build self‐regulation in students and the skills it takes to work cooperatively in the real world that is defined by boundaries and rules. Work Health and Safety is a modern boundary to protect all people at work and school. Thank you to the vast majority of parents who have supported our shoe policy. We are very grateful. As a school we have set our standard and you have ensured that your child understands the need to have the correct footwear. We appreciate that you have successfully negotiated this decision with your child. Having boundaries on the small issues makes negotiating the big issues much easier. Mr Paul Tracey Principal FROM THE COLLEGE PRINCIPAL On Friday 5 February Callaghan College staged its DATES FOR YOUR DIARY Annual Presentation Day at the University of Newcastle’s Great Hall. The College presented 221 26 Feb Campus Swimming Carnival Parent Teacher Interviews awards to students from across our three campuses 1 Mar that represent Callaghan College.

  • Honourable Mention Entry
    QUEER NEWCASTLE A PORTABLE EXHIBITION LEARN MORE AT WWW.LIVINGHISTORIES.NEWCASTLE.EDU.AU /PAGES/HUNTERRAINBOW To those who have built the spaces for me to live as I am and to the unending strength and dedication of the LGBTQIA+ community. Thank you to John Witte and Richard Riley for their amazing support during the creation of this project. Cover image: Bill Whitbread-Brown as Miss Fair Day, Sydney Star Observer, 1995. Image: Mazz Images, 1995. Hunter Rainbow Histories Collection I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land in which I live and of which I record this history. I acknowledge that this land was never ceded and a treaty was never signed. I would also like to acknowledge the intersectional oppression faced by Indigenous queer peoples and the work that needs to be done in order to address this both within and outside the queer community. WHO AM I? I grew up on the lands of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples in the area now known as Newcastle NSW. I moved to Sydney in 2016 to pursue a degree at the University of Sydney in history and gender studies. I identify as non-binary and bisexual; it is from this identity that I write this history of Newcastle. As a student of history, I am committed to queering spaces which have been claimed by colonial, heterosexual and cis bodies. I aim to illuminate how these spaces have continuously been reworked as queer by the ongoing, and often invisible, presence of queer people and their experiences. I hope, in all my academic pursuits, to give back to the communities who have given so much to me by bringing attention to their forgotten and marginalised histories.
