FROM THE PRINCIPAL 

In yet another first for me at Manly Selective 

Campus, it was my absolute pleasure to have been 

able to present students with Principal Awards at 

special assemblies on both Thursday and Friday. 

Approximately 250 students (see complete list later 

in this bulletin) in total were recognised for 

outstanding academic excellence and consistent 

commitment to studies displayed during Semester 1. 

Students were justifiable proud of their 

achievements as they came to receive their 

certificates in front of even prouder parents and 

grandparents who have no doubt played a significant 

role in supporting students to achieve at such a high 

level. I would like to thank all of those family 

members who took the time to attend these 

assemblies ‐ it is a real honour to have you visit our 

school for events such as this. 

To those students who did not achieve a Principal’s 

Award this semester, keep striving for your personal 

best and aim for academic excellence in all that you 

do. I was very heartened to speak with a Year 11 

student receiving his very first Principal’s Award after 

realising at the end of Year 10 that he had not 

realised his potential and then set himself a number 

of goals to do better. One of those goals was to 

achieve a Principal Award. He is now well on the way 

to further improvement. 

In returning to school following the vacation period it 

was again heartening to hear of some of the 

activities our students had been involved in during 

their ‘vacation’. You would have read on the front 

page of Imogen D’Souza’s adventure as part of a 

Youth United Nations delegate to east Timor. What a 

wonderful experience! In addition to that, Eleanor 

Brownlie of Year attended the Global Young Leaders 

Conference in Washington and New York.

This conference involved approximately 350 

teenagers from all over the globe, meeting together 

to learn about global leadership and diplomacy over 

ten days. Eleanor attended meetings with US State 

Department representatives, learnt about crosscultural 

communication, met embassy 

representatives, heard from a human trafficking 

survivor/advocate and went to the UN. Various fun 

activities were squeezed in as well, such as 4th July 

fireworks and a Broadway show. Eleanor learnt a lot, 

not least from meeting young people from so many 

different countries. Her leadership group included 

other students from Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, South 

Africa, China, Japan, Trinidad and Tobago, Portugal, 

Canada, USA and Spain. Thea Kable competed in the 

Oceania Fencing Competition coming 5 th overall in 

her division, with her team doing even better, placing 

second. Finally, we had a number of students attend 

the State Senior Music Camp who, according to Mr 

Steve Williams from the DEC Arts Unit, excelled with 

both their performance and work ethic. So, no doubt 

a busy ‘holiday’ period for all of those students. 

Congratulations. 

We have seen significant improvements to the 

grounds around the bus bay, basketball courts and in 

one of our Science laboratories over the holiday 

period. With thanks to Mr David Nord, we now have 

improved access for students to the bus bay allowing 

for easier access to the buses during those peak 

times. The new retaining wall also looks significantly 

better than the old ARC style fencing. The new 

retaining wall along the edge of the basketball courts 

finishes that area off and will also provide for 

additional seating once fully completed. One Science 

laboratory has been completely refitted with new 

benches and hardware providing a much more 

inviting environment for student learning. We are 

currently in negotiation to have our remaining 3 

Science laboratories upgraded in the next holidays. 

Just as we encourage continual improvement in our 

students, we too look for continual improvement in 

what we provide to enhance their experiences. 

Today Ms Tulk was able to present our current Year 

12 cohort with a small token of ‘gifts’ as they move in 

to final preparation for the HSC. Their ‘Little GEM’ 

bags contained goodies that just might assist them in 

these next few weeks. An apple, for good health and 

to keep the doctor away, bottled water to stay fluid 

and hydrated, an energy bar for sustained effort and 

a ‘mintie’ for moments like these were just a few of 

the items in the bag. Most importantly of all was the 

very elite ‘gem’ encrusted ring that signifies at each 

and every student is a gem to be cherished. Year 12, 

we wish you all the best in the coming weeks and 

look forward to assisting you even further as you 

strive to achieve your goals.

REPORT ON RECENT YOUTH UNITED 

NATIONS PROJECT 

By Imogen D’Souza (Year 11) 

As a member of the 2013 Youth United Nations 

Australian Pacific Project delegation, I spent my two 

week holidays in East Timor on a diplomacy and 

development tour that aimed to build sustainable aid 

partnerships between youth networks. The trip had 

been six months in the making ‐ raising money for 

flights, seeking sponsorship, wincing through typhoid 

injections ‐ and it wasn't until I arrived at Darwin 

airport that I met most of the other ten high school 

age delegates from across Australia who I'd be 

travelling with. From there, we embarked on a 55 

minute plane ride to a place vastly different to 

anywhere I'd ever been. 

The next two weeks became a blur of cross‐country 

touring in huge trucks over roads that were more 

pot‐hole than anything. Although everyone got sick 

from the heat, the roads and the strange food, it 

didn't spoil the experience at all. After exploring the 

tragic history of Timor in the capital city, we spent a 

week in the mountainside town of Maliana, 

consulting with local youth organisations about their 

plans for the future and learning about intercultural 

relationships in a very authentic simulation of life as 

an aid worker. I went into the experience knowing 

East Timor was the poorest country in Asia but found 

myself constantly confronted by the extent of this 

poverty; basic sanitation is lacking and flush toilets 

are a rarity, as are showers, only kids whose parents 

can afford it go to school past the age of 12 and in 

some schools a blackboard propped up on shoes is 

the only equipment. However, I was comforted by 

the culture of cooperation which discouraged 

corruption and the misuse of aid. Progress can be 

seen in healthcare and education across the country,

and as the years since Indonesian occupation fade, 

Timor flourishes. 

We travelled from the bustling coastal cities of Dili 

and Baucau, to the countryside where coffee and rice 

plantations border the huge central mountain range. 

The natural beauty is breathtaking. During Pacific 

Project, I learnt about the importance of building 

ethical aid relationship that don't impose a 

westernised way of life and having strong 

international relationships with the Pacific region but 

I also had an incredible time exploring a new and 

exciting country with a unique group of young 

people. 

I urge anyone with an interest in travelling to Timor 

to buy a ticket as soon as possible. There is no need 

to feel unsafe or worried about the situation there. 

You will find yourself in a country rich in vivid culture 

and history, surrounded by beautifully spirited and 

happy people who deserve the benefits tourism can 

bring. My experiences in East Timor have been 

incredibly eye opening, and I hope Australians can 

continue to support and befriend our young 

neighbour. For any budding diplomats who would be 

interested in applying for next year's Pacific Project, 

visit the UNYA website because applications open 

now. You won't regret it.

To all our parent Volunteers 

Please come to a Thank You evening in the 

school foyer on Wednesday 31 July 

from 6.30 – 8.30pm 

One of the things that make Manly such a great 

school is our volunteer community and we'd like to 

say thanks! 

Parents and friends volunteer in so many ways for 

our school. We have volunteers in the canteen, on 

committees, behind the scenes at the musical with 

costumes, scenery and makeup, with the band 

program and performances, at working bees for the 

grounds, at the clothing pool, by assessing the Year 

10 digital portfolios, by organising the Year 7 

welcome, by catering at open days and band 

performances and rehearsals for the musical, 

organising fund‐raisers such as Art59 and the City‐to 

Surf volunteers and maybe in other ways too! 

So please, if you have volunteered at the school in 

the last year or so, come and join us on 31 July from 

6.30pm to 8.30pm in the Foyer for a drink or two and 

some finger food, and a little light networking. 

We will need to know numbers for catering, so

For 2014 we need and will train you (and provide

roles for next year. 

We also would welcome parents with MYOB 

experience for the following roles: 

‐A new Treasurer, to process the accounts payable, 

complete the MYOB entry bimonthly and prepare the 

financial reports at the end of the year. 

‐A new Payroll Officer to enter timesheets into MYOB 

and generate the payroll on a fortnightly basis, pay 

super and lodge IAS (tax) on a quarterly basis. Also to 

generate payment summaries annually for the 

canteen staff. 

These are great volunteer roles for parents who 

would like to volunteer their time but are unable to 

attend during school hours. Currently we meet with 

the canteen supervisor, Mel one evening a term (in 

the Brookvale pub).

We need you! 

Every year the Bands of MSC are invited to volunteer at the annual City to Surf fun run at 

Bondi Beach’s finish line to raise funds for our band programmes. Our job is fun, simple, 

and extremely important. MSC is highly regarded by the organisers for our excellent 

customer service. 

What we have to do 

Take truckloads of bags belonging to the runners and place them in numerical order so 

that when the runners arrive at the finish line we can give the bags back to them. 

What we get 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We get paid for every person who attends: family, friends, this is open to everyone, not 

just MSC students, although we want to see as many of you there as possible! 

In 2012 we raised almost $4000. More people = > $$ 

Event t-shirt 

Sausage sizzle 

Sun Herald 

A school achievement award for community service 

(equivalent to 4 x pink merits) 

10kg block of chocolate for the year with most participants 

LOTS OF FUN! It is an excellent way to meet other parents and students. 

Details 

Location: Near finish line at Bondi Beach 

Arrival time: 6:30am Estimated finish time: 12:00pm 

(this is due to road closures) 

Parking: Limited car parking is available, so car pooling is a must! If you can bring a 

car full of people we can probably get you a parking permit at a nearby car 

park. There are shuttle buses to take us from the car park to the beach. 

Contact: Call Angela Aguam on 0422 618780, 

or email angieaguam@yahoo.com 

to volunteer for this event. Remember this 

is open to all MSC students, not just band 

students.
