FROM THE PRINCIPAL<br />

Shave for a Cure – this week’s SRC<br />

assembly saw the biggest number of students<br />

ever volunteer to have their heads shaved for<br />

this very worthy cause. Jesse Ritchie (Year<br />

12) was of special interest as the hair he has<br />

been growing throughout his whole time at<br />

secondary school was shorn for the cause.<br />

Other students were Steve Smith (Year 11),<br />

Rebecca Borys (Year 11), Michael Sproul<br />

(Year 11), Liam Matthews (Year 11), Gamran<br />

Green (Year 10), Keely Fleming (Year10), Ivan<br />

Peric (Year 8), Justin Reily (Year 8), Dante<br />

Ciko-Hague (Year 8), Sam Phillis (Year 8) and<br />

Nathan Ruser (Year 7). Over $1300 was<br />

raised in the extended assembly. Thanks go to<br />

parents who helped in the cutting of hair, the<br />

SRC for their organization and to the student<br />

body for fulfilling the school goal of giving back<br />

to the community. We have all had degrees of<br />

contact with victims of cancer and this<br />

excellent cause is a timely reminder for us all.<br />

Sports Swimming Carnival – at the end of<br />

last week we had confirmation that <strong>Manly</strong> was<br />

the winner of the Warringah Zone Swimming<br />

Carnival by a clear margin. As well, the age<br />

champions, especially for girls, were<br />

dominated by <strong>Manly</strong>. It was a great set of<br />

results. The official results of the regional<br />

carnival held on Wednesday in Woy Woy are<br />

expected soon. (See table of placings at end<br />

of this newsletter)<br />

P&C Meeting – parents were very well<br />

informed of procedures for subject offerings<br />

and lines for Year 11, and how scaling affects<br />

the contribution of marks towards ATAR<br />

scores after this week’s P&C meeting. Deputy<br />

Senior Ms Meg Tulk outlined the support and<br />

guidance we give students when making these<br />

important decisions. These meetings are an<br />

excellent means of asking questions and<br />

gaining an insight into how the school<br />

operates. The next meeting is scheduled for<br />

the first Wednesday of term 2.<br />

Kim Berendes Scholarship – last year’s<br />

graduating Year 12 females were invited to<br />

apply for a very generous scholarship unique<br />

to <strong>Manly</strong> <strong>Selective</strong>. Ms Carol Flanagan has set<br />

up a scholarship in honour of a long time local<br />

resident, Miss Kim Berendes who dedicated<br />

her life to helping others, supporting local<br />

community causes and promoting the value of<br />

education. A $5000 scholarship is awarded to<br />

a female student who can demonstrate<br />

through their choice of course, record of<br />

community involvement and potential to work<br />

for social justice, the values of Kim Berendes.<br />

This year Tessa Gastrell has been awarded<br />

the scholarship. She is currently enrolled in<br />

Agricultural Economics with the intention of<br />

“finding ways in agribusiness to improve<br />

people’s living standards”. A formal<br />

presentation ceremony will be held next term<br />

for Year 12 2010 to view and the inaugural<br />

award will be made at Year 12 Graduation<br />

2010.<br />

Komyu Gahuen School Visit – last week I<br />

outlined the success of this visit and am<br />

pleased to reprint a confirmation we received<br />

of the value of hosting an overseas school.<br />

The email speaks volumes about the efforts of<br />

staff and students, in particular Ms Yoko<br />

Ichikawa:<br />

I am the parent of a <strong>Manly</strong> <strong>Selective</strong> student<br />

and also happen to work for the Australian<br />

College of English, which was where the<br />

Komyu Gahuen students were studying<br />

English this week. I wanted to let you know<br />

how impressed the teachers, both Australian<br />

and Japanese, were by their visit and <strong>Manly</strong><br />

<strong>Selective</strong> in general. You would have been<br />

delighted at their enthusiastic comments<br />

regarding the musicians, the students'<br />

excellent Japanese, the organisation of the<br />

visit and warmth of the welcome.<br />

Overseas Excursions – the level of interest<br />

shown by parents and students in the planned<br />

trip to France early next year was very<br />

encouraging. These tours require a huge<br />

amount of effort and organization to be<br />

successful. A special thanks to Ms Katherine<br />

Wyndham for her initiative in flagging this trip<br />

for our French students.<br />

Similarly, in support of our school goal to<br />

provide opportunities to broaden student<br />

experiences and understandings of global<br />

citizenship, World Challenge will be visiting the<br />

school next term to talk to Year 9 students<br />

about a possible overseas trip to a developing<br />

country at the end of 2011. This is the<br />

organization that facilitated the highly<br />

successful visit to Borneo at the end of last<br />

year with five Year 10 students from <strong>Manly</strong><br />

engaging in the adventure of a lifetime. The<br />

report included later in this bulletin by Eloise<br />

Griffin encapsulates the richness of the team<br />

experience. More details will follow next term.<br />

Congratulations to:<br />

Grace Pollock (Year 12) upon winning the<br />

first regional final of the Lions Youth of the<br />

Year Quest competing against students<br />

from Knox Grammar, Killara High School,<br />

Killarney Heights High School and Asquith<br />

Boys High School. Grace now moves on to<br />

the District Final at Bankstown Sports<br />

Club. This is virtually Sydney wide<br />

excluding Liverpool and Campbelltown.<br />

Our thanks go to Lions Balgowlah for their<br />

continued support of Grace.<br />

Catherine Nguyen (Year 12 2009) who<br />

won the $5000 Theo Batten Youth Art<br />

Award at the <strong>Manly</strong> Art Gallery last Friday<br />

night for her artwork Umbrella used for her<br />

HSC Major Work. More details will follow in<br />

an article next week.<br />

Daisy Wang and David Topham (Year 12<br />

2009) upon their winning UNSW Co-Op<br />

Program scholarships in Actuarial Studies<br />

and Mechanical Engineering respectively.<br />

These highly sought after scholarships are<br />

very generous and helpful in establishing<br />

future career paths for recipients.<br />

Borneo Expedition 2009<br />

- David Tomlin<br />

Principal<br />

This report is by Year 10 student Eloise Griffin who<br />

went to Borneo last year with the World Challenge<br />

team.<br />

Climbing the highest mountain in South-East<br />

Asia, trekking for a week in dense Bornean<br />

jungle, volunteering with distressed and<br />

homeless animals and learning a different a<br />

language is only part of the incredible<br />

experience we went through on the World<br />

Challenge Expedition to Borneo in 2009.<br />

Six current <strong>Manly</strong> students (one from<br />

Mackellar 2009), plus eight others from<br />

different schools around the state, left on the<br />

21 st of November and returned on the 20 th of<br />

December with changed perspectives on our<br />

lives. It was all the product of the 18 months<br />

lead up where we had raised the money to<br />

cover the expenses ourselves, researched and


planned our itinerary and physically prepared<br />

ourselves for this big adventure.<br />

However, all past premonitions and<br />

expectations for what the Borneo Expedition<br />

’09 would turn out to be were left at the Kota<br />

Kinabalu Airport at 2am when we spent close<br />

to an hour haggling for taxis. It became<br />

obvious at that point that Borneo was not<br />

going to be smooth sailing.<br />

Our first week in-the country was a massive<br />

culture shock; the disparity between the<br />

poverty-stricken lives of the people we met<br />

and our own lives at home was something that<br />

changed us completely. We were more<br />

grateful for the delicious mee goreng we ate<br />

the night before and thankful for the clean<br />

water we were able to find.<br />

In Borneo, it is impossible to take anything for<br />

granted. The cities were an eye-opener but it<br />

was the jungle that was the real test. During<br />

the first day of our trek, our impression of the<br />

Bornean jungle was that it was thick, humid,<br />

wet, noisy, dense and full of leeches and<br />

spiders. In the jungle there is no escaping the<br />

elements, it is above and beyond 100%<br />

humidity during the day and noisy all the time,<br />

especially during the night.<br />

Our time at the Sun Bear Rehabilitation Centre<br />

and the Orang-utan Sanctuary was<br />

exceptionally rewarding. The injured and<br />

recovering orang-utans, Sun bears and pygmy<br />

elephants we encountered at the Centre were<br />

inspiring and served as a constant booster<br />

whenever our energy dissipated. During the<br />

week we managed to lay down the foundations<br />

of a jungle walkway, a vital part to the new Sun<br />

Bear Rehabilitation that has been under<br />

construction for many years.<br />

In the last half of our trip we climbed Mount<br />

Kinabalu, spent almost a week in the Mulu<br />

Jungle, experienced two days and one night in<br />

a traditional indigenous longhouse and visited<br />

secluded beaches and islands for rest and<br />

relaxation. These experiences were all<br />

challenging, yet rewarding and extremely fun<br />

and entertaining.<br />

The 16 of us have all become extremely close<br />

due to the experiences we shared. Borneo is a<br />

place of extremes. We experienced extremes<br />

of poverty and wealth, happiness and<br />

homesickness, health and illness. However,<br />

despite all these hardships we would happily<br />

do it all again.<br />
