FROM THE PRINCIPAL<br />
From The Principal<br />
Excellence in Teaching<br />
<strong>Issue</strong> 2 - 9 <strong>Issue</strong> March, 3 - 2012 3 April 2011<br />
This year a position focussed on teaching development - Director of Teaching Development & Accreditation - has<br />
been created. Mrs Sue Godfrey, who for a number of years has overseen the NSW Institute of Teachers’ (NSWIT) New<br />
Scheme teachers program for SGCS, has been appointed to this position and now oversees teaching development<br />
K-12, with a focus on developing best classroom teaching practice. With UNSW Gerric (Gifted Education) post<br />
graduate qualifications, Mrs Godfrey has over 20 years teaching and leadership experience and serves on the <strong>Christian</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong>s Australia (CSA) Teacher Accreditation Committee. This committee is responsible for assessing applications from<br />
educators within the CSA sector of NSW schools for NSWIT Professional Accomplishment and Professional Leadership<br />
levels. The aim of this new position is to work directly with teaching staff, Faculty Coordinators and Heads of Department<br />
to enhance teaching practice.<br />
SGCS is committed to excellence in teaching and will continue to invest heavily in staff professional development<br />
directed at what makes a difference - classroom teaching.<br />
Mrs Godfrey will also oversee the delivery of various Gifted & Talented and extension (‘Horizons’) programs within<br />
the school. SGCS provides a range of support programs to students who need particular help with their learning. The<br />
academically highly capable have their own unique set of challenges and I am delighted we are able to provide<br />
focussed support for them too. The way this is expressed is different as children grow and develop, and the means we<br />
use are detailed on the school’s website, under ‘Extension and Support’ within each Department.<br />
Joy In Learning<br />
Sometimes learning is an absolute joy, full of fun and discovery. Sometimes it is sheer hard work. Joy in learning can<br />
come from the satisfaction that arises after the work is done - when mastery of a skill or concept is achieved. Our Year<br />
12 students are approaching their half yearly exams and will sacrifice aspects of their life to attend to study. While<br />
sacrifice is not normally much fun, achieving a personal best result can be deeply satisfying.<br />
Research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology has revealed, as our experience confirms, that people are more<br />
likely to learn and to remember if intrinsically motivated and emotionally engaged. In classroom settings this is achieved<br />
if all students are expected to learn successfully, are highly engaged and feel safe and supported in their learning.<br />
Settings that create undue stress or a fear of failure have been shown to impede learning and memory.<br />
<strong>St</strong>udents who believe they are capable of learning, who have positive views about themselves as learners, are more<br />
likely to learn successfully.<br />
Personal <strong>Christian</strong> Faith and Growth Towards Maturity<br />
Close to our hearts and embedded in the school’s Mission <strong>St</strong>atement is the hope that our students will ‘taste and see<br />
that the Lord is good’ that they will ultimately trust the God revealed perfectly to us in the life of Jesus Christ, and that<br />
this trust will mature as they mature and take their place in society.<br />
We see in Jesus a life fully, wonderfully and maturely lived.<br />
Our various programs which explore the bible, the life of Jesus and the implications of this for our own lives, reflect our<br />
hope to see our students move toward this maturity.<br />

A reminder to parents that in the mornings and afternoons outside of the<br />
school fence is a 2 minute pick up and drop off zone. Parents may leave<br />
their car to assist their children but cannot walk away and leave their car<br />
unattended. If everyone adheres to this, there will be a smooth drop off and<br />
pick up of children.<br />
U turns are not permitted in the school zone.

To celebrate the beginning of the National Year of<br />
Reading, Mrs Orrock is holding a photo competition<br />
for all Junior <strong>School</strong> classes. <strong>St</strong>udents have been asked<br />
to get a parent to take a photo of them reading their<br />
favourite book in an unusual place and then bring it<br />
into school.<br />
Here are some photos that have been taken so far<br />
and students can view all the photos Mrs Orrock has<br />
displayed in the Hub. Mrs Barnes will be judging the<br />
best entry.<br />
Check out the National Year of Reading website:<br />

contested.<br />
Congratulations to the Year 9 boys team who<br />
beat an all male parent team followed by the<br />

Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
Over the past fortnight we have spent time considering leadership, examining the qualities of effective<br />
leaders, exploring what godly leadership looks like, and identifying how best to lead oneself. Each student<br />
presented their thoughts on leadership before their Home Room class, a fine act of service in itself.<br />
<strong>St</strong>aff were encouraged, and sometimes surprised, by the reflections shared and the courage displayed.<br />
We have chosen two students from each class to represent their peers on the Middle <strong>School</strong> SRC and one<br />
student to be on our Middle <strong>School</strong> Leadership Team from each class.<br />

Kiama Excursion by Sam Craft (8M)<br />
On 16 February, Year 8 travelled to Kiama on a Science<br />
excursion for our unit on Geology.<br />
The aim of the day was to prepare for our assignment due<br />
shortly after the excursion. This assignment required us to<br />
create a photo essay on the geological features of the<br />
South Coast.<br />
The first place we went to was "Sublime Point Lookout". We<br />
had an amazing view over the whole of Wollongong and<br />
beyond, which we would travel to later in the day.<br />
At the lookout we noticed the lichen growing all over the<br />
rocks down the escarpment to Austinmer Beach below, a<br />
spectacular view!<br />
Some time later we arrived at the “Little Blowhole” in Kiama<br />
where we spent much of the day exploring the ancient<br />
lava flows, eating our recess and watching the impressive<br />
blowhole do its thing! Mr Binns gave us a tour of the area<br />
and explained how the lava from a nearby volcano,<br />
Mt Bongbong, had run down and cooled and solidified<br />
forming the basalt we see today. The main attraction was<br />
certainly the Little Blowhole and fortunately for us it was a<br />
lovely day and the blowhole was spouting huge amounts of<br />
water. After getting drenched head to toe, we set off to the<br />
'The Big Blowhole', though the wind and swell was coming<br />
from the wrong direction for it to be working.<br />
We lunched at Austinmer Beach where we studied the layers<br />
of sedimentary rock clearly visible in the headland including<br />
several coal seams running through it which was certainly<br />
very interesting. We took lots of photos and came home very<br />
well prepared to complete our assignment.<br />
Overall it was a good day where we all had lots of fun.

2012 SWIMMING CARNINAL<br />
On 17 February students from Years 7-12 arrived at Roselands swimming pool for the much anticipated<br />
swimming carnival. It was the first big event on the sporting calendar for the year.<br />
With afternoon thunderstorms predicted, we got underway as early as possible. <strong>St</strong>udents were looking<br />
forward to the swimming races, and the fellowship and community that an event like this creates.<br />
<strong>St</strong>udents were all very vocal in support of their houses, with Red house probably being the loudest.<br />
All swimmers on the day must be congratulated, especially the age champions, who are listed below.<br />
A big CONGRATULATIONS has to go to GREEN house, the winning house (winning by a big margin).<br />
Congratulations also to those students who qualified for the CSSA Zone Carnival on 22 February.<br />
