2021 Term 1 Week 09 26 Mar 2021

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It’s great to end the week with the sun shining brightly after our recent prolonged wet weather.  The much needed widespread rain has brought significant flooding to communities further south and our thoughts and prayers remain with those communities that have experienced damage, loss and displacement.

Anglicare North Coast has launched a Flood Appeal you can donate to. Please see the details below.

This morning, our Year 9 students, parents and staff gathered on the top oval pre-dawn for the Departure Ceremony of our Year 9 annual personal development program, The Rite Journey. Uncle Victor got the morning underway just as the sun was rising with a heartwarming Welcome to Country from the Bundjalung Elders accompanied by Gary Kofoa on the didgeridoo.

The Departure Ceremony is preceded by the Calling Ceremony that took place on Thursday afternoon. Essentially, the young people in the program are being called to take the first small steps to adulthood and the Departure Ceremony marks starting to leave behind selfish and childish ways.

The year-long program helps young people to develop essential skills, knowledge, habits and disciplines not just for future learning but importantly for the joys and challenges of life beyond school.

This Sunday, we commence Holy Week with a shared worship service with our founding Parish, St Cuthbert's Anglican Church. The Palm Sunday service commences at 9.00am at St Cuthbert’s Anglican Church in Powell Street, Tweed Heads. All are welcome to attend.

I am looking forward to joining members of our school community tomorrow evening for our P&F Trivia night. This very special friend-raising and fundraising event is sold out and will be our largest P&F community event for over 12 months.

In a big week for the P&F, we will hold the Annual General Meeting of the P&F Association on Tuesday, 30 March at 6.30pm in the Middle and Senior School library. All are welcome to attend.

One of the highlights of being a School Principal is when I get to join with students for special events and activities. I must say how much I enjoyed the performances of our Year 6 students who battled it out in an energetic and exciting Lip Sync Challenge in Ngahriyah on Thursday.

After 10 years of tireless service to the Lindisfarne community through his role as Director of Careers and VET, it is with mixed feelings that we say farewell to Mr Barry Woods at the conclusion of this term. We are tremendously grateful for his contributions to the School and our students through his work in Careers Education and Vocational Education and Training. We are excited for Mr Woods as he embarks on his next adventure into the world of property management and body corporate management. We, on behalf of the entire school community, wish Barry all the very best on these future endeavours.

Following a nationwide search, I would like to welcome Mrs Lauren Ward to this vital role, commencing in Term 2, 2021. Lauren joins Lindisfarne from Palm Beach Currumbin State High School (PBC) where she has served as the Year 12 and VET Coordinator, Acting Head of Senior School and Acting Head of Humanities among other key leadership roles. Lauren also brings a wealth of experience from the corporate world where she utilised her dual degree in Economics and Commerce in her role as an auditor with multinational professional services firm Ernst and Young.

Following a call to teaching through the Teach for Australia program, Lauren completed a Master of Teaching degree initially teaching in Melbourne prior to her appointment to PBC four years ago.

Passionate about enabling students to maximise their potential and opportunities for their future, Lauren will continue the delivery of a strong VET and Careers offering to support the curriculum and future pathways for our students.

We look forward to welcoming Lauren to the Lindisfarne Community.

As we conclude the term next week, I extend best wishes to Kylie Rossington as she commences maternity leave. We welcome and congratulate long-serving member of the English faculty Kylie Wharton who has been appointed as Acting Director of English whilst Mrs Rossington is on leave.

Stuart Marquardt
Principal

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has rolled out the Transport Connect Bus (TCB) Program to Tweed Heads and will soon be going live, delivering state of the art technology to rural and regional NSW to help customers plan their journey and receive real-time trip updates for buses. 

From Term 2, students and parents will have the ability to plan their journey to and from school, and to track the location of the bus and estimated arrival times.

If you have any questions, please contact the TCB Team directly via TCB.Team@transport.nsw.gov.au.

NAPLAN updated

This week, students in Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 successfully completed practice NAPLAN tests. On Thursday, we participated in the coordinated practice test when every student in Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 in NSW were online to test the capacity of the external NAPLAN system. I am happy to report that the test ran really smoothly and hopefully this will be the case in May.

Term 1 Interim Reports Years 5 to 10

Just a reminder that these will be published to Parent Lounge next week.

ATAR NOTES - free study lectures 

From 12 April to 17 April 2021, ATAR Notes is running free live-streamed study lectures for students in New South Wales.

These lectures are completely free, and there are dozens of lecture subjects (Year 10 - Year 12) for students to attend in order to gain study momentum through Term 2. Thousands of students have benefitted from ATAR Notes Lectures, with sessions delivered by high-achieving graduates.

Students can enrol for as many lecture subjects as they like but must register in order to gain access to the live lecture stream.

Registration link below.

ATAR Notes Lectures link 

Free registration gives students access to:

• online live lectures where they can ask questions live and get an immediate answer.

• recordings of all lectures so they can re-watch them later.

• the ability to download the lecture slides for their own study notes.

Caroline Jeffries
Dean of Studies

This term in Integrated Studies, Year 5 students have been studying 'The Discovery of Gold in Australia'. As a culmination to the unit the students have been presented with the Inquiry Focus Question 'What would Australia be like if the Gold Rush didn't happen?' 

The students are required to reflect on their learning and think deeply about the impact the Gold Rush has had on Australia as a country today and what the country might look like if gold had never been discovered. 

Students are developing research skills and note-taking to respond to a number of topic questions. They have enjoyed working collaboratively to research key events in our history.

Men’s Youth Summit

Last week, a selection of boys from Years 11 and 12 had the opportunity to attend the Men’s Youth Summit 2021 at The Southport School. The summit was entitled ‘Men of the Moment’ and explored the key characteristics desired for young men. The day involved workshops, sharing of current programs and ideas in schools and a live-streamed conference panel. 

This was a wonderful opportunity for young men to develop their leadership skills and to engage in meaningful discussions about issues that affect their daily lives.

The Rite Journey — The Calling and Departure Ceremonies

This week, the Year 9 cohort celebrated the first major events of their Rite Journey program. On Thursday afternoon, students processed to the top oval in order to gather for the Calling Ceremony, where they were able to show gratitude for their childhood and are called on their journey to adulthood.  

Students then returned to the School early on Friday morning with their parents, carers or mentors to participate in the very moving Departure Ceremony — a special opportunity for students to have important conversations and exchange letters with their loved ones. This opportunity saw the Year 9s reflect, but also look forward to their adulthood and encouraged them to depart from immature behaviours of their childhood and grow. The day continued with a beach walk from Fingal to Kingscliff — the first "challenge" of their Rite Journey.

Head of Senior School

Cross Country

After the drenching the Cross Country track has received in the last fortnight, the course has stood up remarkably well, with the training squad making their way around the full circuit this morning.  Please visit this link for full details of the event which is scheduled for next Thursday, 1 April.

Please note, this event is not compulsory for Years 5 to 12. Students will come off class 30 minutes before their scheduled race time and sign in to the registration tent on the top oval. After their races, students will return to their classes.

Our Year 3 and 4 Junior School students will all be making the trip up to Mahers Lane for the Cross Country race. All transport and broader logistics will be communicated from the teaching staff at the Junior School Campus and all students will be travelling via bus together. 

As per the document linked above, parents and spectators are invited to attend, albeit with COVID-19 restrictions.

Due to the Cross Country Carnival on the next day, there will be no Cross Country training on Wednesday. 

Term 2 Integrated Sport Selections

Please review the sports choices below. Registration for selections will be activated when you log in to Parent Lounge early tomorrow morning, Saturday, 27 March. 

A very short instructional video can be viewed here.

The sport options available can be view by clicking the links below:

• Years 5 and 6

• Years 7 to 10

Term 2 Sports Selections will be finalised through Parent Lounge, payment for your child's sport choice is required at the time of selection and their spot in that chosen sport will be secured upon payment. 

Please note: some sports have a strict capacity limitation. Therefore, once they reach this quota, they will show as no places available and no longer be an option. 

To ensure you have a clear and comprehensive view of all sports options on offer, it’s recommended that you access the sports selections on a laptop or desktop as mobile phones may have a limited view and may also take longer to navigate all options on offer. 

Swapping of sports once selections and payments have been made will not be possible unless there are pastoral matters, injury or health issues that arise. Please encourage your child to liaise with friends prior to the selection date and have a second sport contingency in case their first sport choice reaches capacity. 

Please make sure, prior to the sports selection start date, that you have your login details and can access Parent Lounge. This must be finalised before Friday, 26 March. Please contact our Middle and Senior School Reception if you need your password reset.

Swimming

We have had a few more results, photos and general feedback from last week's NSWCIS Primary Swimming Carnival last week. 

Hunter Whitrod didn’t get the results he was hoping for down in Sydney for but achieved Personal Best times in both his events. He already has his macro goal focussed for 2022 to be hitting the finals at this event. 

Koa Stotz won the Gold in the U11 Boys 50m Breaststroke - a phenomenal effort, with Riley Johnston finishing a very close 2nd. A Lindisfarne 1st and 2nd in Sydney. Well done, boys.

Pictured above (L-R): Riley Johnston and Koa Stotz.

Young Ned Simmonds smashed his 50m freestyle in the heats, placing 2nd and doing a PB by 3.5 seconds. He then made the final coming 6th, in a very close race. Ned was the only U8 to compete in the 8-10 years Breaststroke.

Soccer 

On Wednesday, our senior boys boarded the plane to Sydney with morale high for our second round CIS Cup draw. I want to acknowledge our incredible hosts for their hospitality and generosity on the day. We hope to reciprocate this fixture in the future. 

We were the 'David' to the 'Goliath' of Knox Grammar School, an inner-city school with a rich history and tradition of elite sporting teams, where Saturday sport is mandatory and students aim to follow professional sporting pathways. 

Having coached many great players and great teams here over the past ten years, I've never been prouder of a group of boys. They were mentally and physically prepared and set the tone very early on that we were going to be tough opposition. Intensely committed to every tackle and every pass, the boys left it all out on the field. 

I have never seen a group of players command opposition respect in a losing cause the way Lindisfarne did. We defended fiercely and created chances, and we were rewarded for our efforts with a goal from Miki Hashimoto, set up beautifully by our midfield talisman Rufus Scott. I would like to specifically call out our backline of Max Harnell (man of the match), Hayden Brims, Corban Thomson, Connor Wilson and Hamish McFie for limiting a clinical offence to just two goals. A sublime second-half performance from keeper Jet Vonhoff also kept the scoreline respectable.

Knox was visibly stunned by the fight we put up and had to work incredibly hard to get past us. Well done to the lads. Credit to them!

John Cadman
Coach

Spotlight on Ben Dickens

A sterling effort from Ben Dickens over the weekend who competed at the QLD State Little Athletics Championships. Ben came away as the gold medal recipient and, therefore, State Champion for U9 Boys 60m Hurdles.

Spotlight on Lyla Williams

Lyla also competed at the State Little Athletics over the weekend. She won the u14 Girls 1500m Race Walk in an 11-second personal best (6.59). She has been named in the QLD State Team but, due to COVID-19, the trip isn't going ahead as scheduled. They will instead have a one-day camp in Brisbane in April and receive the official uniform they would've competed in. If everything goes well, she should also be selected in the Little Athletics Australia team to attend a 4-day camp at the AIS in Canberra in September. Congratulations on your efforts thus far, Lyla, and enjoy your camp in Brisbane.

For those interested in enrolling for private studio lessons for term 2, please contact Performing Arts or complete the application forms on the school website or on Parent Lounge.

Todd Hardy
Director of Performing Arts

Improving Performance is one of the units studied in HSC PDHPE. Year 12 started this topic last week. The essential question is: How do athletes become great? With syllabus specific critical questions

1. How do athletes train for improved performance?
2. What are the planning considerations for improving performance?
3. What ethical issues are related to improving performance?

To answer the first content query, students participated in a Strength Training session with Rory Davies in the gym. They answered how and why the weights, machines and elastics would improve performance in a variety of sports. 

We are so fortunate to have our own Australian Champion Triathlete at Lindisfarne, and this week, Tracy Foyster shared her knowledge about planning for a season. She shared her own periodisation table and micro subphases in her training regime so that she could peak in her own performance a fortnight ago at Mooloolaba. 

To answer the final question of the topic, students will be “debating” issues re: performance enhancing drugs and technology in sport such as:

• Would allowing drug use make competition unfair and unethical?
• Does access to technology make competition unfair?

“The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.” — Wassily Kandinsky

Year 7 Visual Arts

This term, Year 7 students have been learning about the Elements of Art and have been exploring ways to combine them to create their own abstract compositions inspired by the great Russian Abstractionist, Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky experienced the curious neurological condition of synesthesia and would “see” sound. His artworks were often inspired by classical music compositions and we have enjoyed the various musical compositions, from Vivaldi to Disco to inspire our own! Students have enjoyed having the choice of lots of different drawing materials and exploring the properties and qualities of each.

Peer to Peer Learning

During a short break in the rain, Year 10 Photography and Digital Media Students teamed up with class 5A to practice their portraiture photography. Older students really enjoyed working with their younger peers who brought a wonderful enthusiasm to the process and provided sunshine for the week with their enormous smiles. Year 10 students shared their knowledge and taught their Year 5 peers how to take photos using our new Canon DSLR cameras. Thanks to Mr Lewis’ class for being such confident and positive photography subjects!

Bronwyn Dann
Acting Director of Visual Art

Even though we still cannot travel abroad, the spirit of internationalism is alive and well. Round Square is offering three virtual conferences over the coming weeks.

Round Square Coordinator 

Writing instruments like pens, markers and highlighters are commonly used everyday items. But what should you do with them when they are broken or run out of ink? Luckily, you can now recycle these items at Lindisfarne’s recycling hubs. 

At Lindisfarne, we also working on capturing as many empty and broken writing instruments as possible for recycling within our school. We have writing instrument recycling boxes in our staffrooms and we are now in the process of getting all Junior School classrooms a small flip-top bin for writing instruments. There is now also a collection bin in the Junior School library. This will help us to divert hundreds of writing instruments from landfill every year. 

We encourage all members of our Lindisfarne community to bring in their empty and broken writing instruments and drop them off for recycling at our recycling hubs. 

Our recycling hubs accept writing instruments from all brands for recycling. This material will be sent to TerraCycle who will recycle them by turning the writing instruments into plastic pellets which will be used to make new plastic products like playgrounds and park benches. So, help us divert hundreds of empty writing instruments from landfill by dropping them at our recycling hubs which can be found in the assembly area at our Junior School Campus and at the Chapel at our Middle and Senior School Campus. 

If you have any questions regarding our recycling hubs, please feel free to email me at patrick.brabant@lindisfarne.nsw.edu.au.

Lindisfarne Chess Club Wins 3-1 in Round 1

On Tuesday, 23 March, St Joseph’s College hosted the first round of NSW Country Secondary Schools Knockout Chess Teams Competition. Lindisfarne was represented by Zac Holtsbaum (Year 10), Nathan Lark (Year 11), Luke Boulter (Year 11), Mia Wilkinson (Year 9) as players with Kai Cusack (Year 8) as a reserve.

Zac was our number one player who had the longest and toughest game. His game nearly lasted an hour and he eventually lost to a better player. However, Zac easily beat his opponent in a rematch, unfortunately, this result did not count. Nathan, Luke and Mia won their matches easily and this demonstrates the depth of the talent in the chess club. With a 3-1 result, we are still in the tournament and look forward to Round 2 with anticipation.

Zac, Nathan, Luke, Mia and Kai should be congratulated on their sportsmanship and how well they represented Lindisfarne. Nathan is also to be commended for managing to be unbeaten in 8 quick-fire friendly games with the St Joseph's College students.
