The Vine Issue 5 – 2021

COLLEGE PRINCIPAL

Mr James Tamblyn

The Thursday before Good Friday is known as Maundy Thursday. The word ‘maundy’ comes from the Latin word ‘command’. It is on this day that Jesus and his disciples shared their last supper together to mark Passover. Jesus washes his disciples’ feet, and commands them to love one another.

When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, ‘Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.’ – John 13:12-15

Through this act of service and kindness Jesus is showing us how to treat others. Despite the impending betrayal of his closest friends, he chose to share his final meal with them and serve them in this way. And he calls us to do the same; to put others’ needs ahead of our own and model the ways we would like to be treated.

As we prepare for our Easter break, and the ensuing term break, please accept my thanks and gratitude for your ongoing support of the College. Term 1 is always a particularly busy time, and I encourage you to find some time for yourselves, with close family and friends, over the next few weeks. Term 1 concludes on Friday 9 April, and we look forward to welcoming students back to school on Wednesday 28 April to commence Term 2.

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL/HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL

Mr Andrew Whiteman

At this time of year many of our students are looking for a break and the Easter holiday period comes at the perfect time. Our senior students have worked very hard this term to complete their assessment tasks to a high standard. The end of term is almost here, and I know after speaking with many students there is still work to be completed in the final week of term. I will be delivering a message to our students about the need for them to stay focused on their studies for the last week and finish the term off in a positive manner. It will be the efforts of our students to continue right to the very end that will bring them the most satisfaction. There are tests, assignments and presentations that need to be finished over the next 4 days and finishing off well will be our major focus this week.

For our Year 12 students the holiday break should be a time to unwind and take a break from the regular school routine. It should also be a time for the students to be maintaining a study routine and ensuring that they are comfortable with the work required in Term 2. The holidays should be a time of rest and renewal but, as we remind our most senior students, the final year of school will be finished before they know it. Our message is to not waste any of the time available to them.

This past week has seen our Year 10, 11 and 12 students out of the College on a variety of excursions. Our Year 12 Physics and Year 11 Maths Methods students visited UniSA at Mawson Lakes, our Year 10, 11 and 12 Art students visited a number of galleries and our Stage 2 Business and Innovation students toured the picturesque Adelaide Oval. Here they learnt about the impressive business model of the oval as part of their external assessment. Some wonderful opportunities for our senior students to extend their learning outside of the classroom.

It was wonderful to see so many families in the College on Tuesday night for our Parent Teacher Interviews evening. After not seeing many families during 2020, due to obvious reasons, the energy and positivity throughout the Mallee building was impressive. These opportunities to connect with your child’s teachers are valuable and can provide a genuine platform for improvement in their academic studies. On Wednesday night the second night will be held. As always, if you are unable to attend these interviews, please make contact with your child’s teachers to arrange a phone conversation or a meeting at a mutually agreeable time.

I hope you all have a happy and safe Easter break.

HEAD OF MIDDLE SCHOOL

 Mrs Lauren Brooks

‘Bird by Bird’

The Middle School aims to support students in getting into good study habits, manage time effectively, prioritising and communicating with teachers ahead of time if they experience any issues or concerns completing schoolwork.

As we near the end of an eleven-week term, most of our Middle School students will now be well entrenched in several assessments. Some of our students may be starting to feel a little overwhelmed with the volume of work ahead of them to complete before the holiday break.

I read a beautiful vignette from the book ‘Bird by Bird’ by Anne Lamott recently that reminded me of the ideal mindset for our students when feeling overwhelmed in their assessments.

The story was about a time Anne watched her Dad support her little brother. Her brother had been procrastinating to write a very big school project where he had to catalogue a prodigious number of birds.

The night before the due date, he felt overwhelmed and sat at the dining table in tears, surrounded by papers and textbooks, unable to know where to begin. The task had been left too late, and now, the night before, he sat in a panic and immobilised by the enormity of what was ahead of him. His Dad walked over to him and asked him to calm down. He sat with him until he stopped crying.

When he was calm, his Dad put his arm around him and simply said… “Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.”

HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL

Mr Randall Pearce

In Week 10, we saw Year 5 students and their teachers experience camping life with a 3-day 2-night camp at Douglas Scrub McLaren Vale. This camp is an extension from our previous sleep over in Term 4 as Year 4 students, where the students spend a Friday night in tents within the school grounds.

School camp is a fantastic opportunity for children to develop new skills, friendships and interests. The benefits of school camp are numerous, here are my top five:

1. Development of social skills

School camp is a great opportunity to develop a range of social skills. Most activities at camp involve teamwork, which is great to strengthen established friendships and also to develop new friendships by connecting with children they don’t regularly talk with at school.

Through bonding activities, children develop supportive relationships not only with different children, but also with their teachers. At camp, children have the opportunity to learn about acceptance, caring and understanding.

2. Development of independence skills

For many children school camp is their first time away from family and home for a few nights. Parents are not there to remind their kids to eat their vegetables, brush their teeth, or to have a shower.

Therefore, this is a great opportunity for kids to grow up by learning how take care of themselves and to do things on their own. Most kids do rise to the challenge and learn to rely on themselves when they spend time away home.

3. Development of decision-making skills

Should I go with my friends or should I do the activity I really want to do? Should I sneak in my iPad / iPhone or similar? Should I stay up or go to bed? Supervising teachers are not able to hover over each child all the time, so at camp, children are responsible for making more of their own choices.

4. Increased environmental awareness

During camp, children are exposed to authentic nature-based experiences. Hands-on activities in the outdoors stimulate all senses and facilitate learning. Children become more aware of the environment, develop outdoor skills and appreciation for nature.

5. Learning new skills

At school camp, children will be exposed to a range of activities that they may not have tried before. When away from their parents, children are often more adventurous and willing to try new things.

Finally, school camps provide children with the opportunity to work with a variety of adults, that will nurture experiential education, build intergenerational relationships and result in a different style of learning. Teacher involvement is, of course, vital to every successful camp, with the bonds between students and teachers strengthened away from the classroom. Our students have the opportunity to form relationships through first-hand experiences with trained, caring adult role models and experience a sense of achievement in a supervised, safe and positive environment as a result.

HARMONY DAY

Finding Harmony

One definition of harmony reads, ‘The quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole’.

Every year in Australia, Harmony Day is celebrated on 21 March. In our recent Middle and Senior School Assembly, we focussed on the importance of Harmony Day and how we can bring harmony to Pedare. Each Home Group and Core Class had the job of presenting a word associated with Harmony Day and this created a wonderful display in our Chapel.

Some thoughtful and insightful words shared by our students in this Assembly were:

‘Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. Interestingly, almost half of Australians were born overseas or have at least one parent who was. More than 7.5 million people have migrated to Australia since 1945 and over 70 indigenous languages are spoken in Australia. The week gives us an opportunity to reflect on what we do as individuals and as a group at Pedare. A focus this year has been on showing empathy, listening to others’ stories and taking action to promote a sense of belonging at Pedare. We hope you take the time to make others feel welcome and appreciated for their differences, understanding that our unique stories and experiences make Pedare that much richer as a community’.

Having a sense of inclusivity and belonging, and demonstrating gratitude and kindness, enhances our wellbeing. We encourage everyone to look for small things that can be done each day to create harmony within themselves, and in the interactions, they have with those they meet each day.

May we always try to ensure that the wellbeing of others is enhanced from our every interaction.

PEDARE’S CABARET

YEAR 12 – PHYSICS EXCURSION

On Friday 26 March, Year 12 Physics students went on a trip to the Mawson Lakes Campus of the University of South Australia. The day started off in the momentum lab of the University. During the morning session, students completed a practical using air hockey tables to investigate the conservation of momentum in two dimensions.

The afternoon consisted of a tour of the campus where students got to have an inside look into the new mechanical engineering workshop space and many other areas and facilities. Students were also introduced to some of the leading-edge research happening at the University including thin films that have a wide range of uses. The day ended with a presentation from two PhD students and one senior lecturer who introduced students to the vast world of material science and engineering. 

Mrs Natasha Paget – Senior School Physics Teacher

YEAR 11 – MATHEMATICS MODELLING

Year 11 Mathematical Modelling 2D to 3D UniSA Connect Program.

On Thursday 25 March, Year 11 Specialist Mathematics class built upon their knowledge of mathematical models and the relevance of these models to real world structures. As part of the program, they designed a bridge, had it printed as a 3D model and then explored the strength and stresses acting on their design. These 2-3g bridges were able to support loads of up to 11.7kg!

Mrs Leonie Brown and Mrs Bronwyn Dutch

Here are some student comments:

• “The Maths excursion was interactive and fun. It was really fun making bridges using excel and then using the 3D Printer to print it.” – Siddharth
• “The Maths excursion was very insightful on showing how maths is applied to real life applications such as through bridges and structure.” – Alicia
• “The Maths Modelling excursion was really fun and interactive. We were able to learn about building bridges and the different types of bridges.” – Aayush
• “It was really enjoyable learning about the bridge infra-structuring and modelling and using the 3-D printer to create our own bridge. The polarisation explanation was also very interesting; however, some was difficult to understand.” – Emmett
• “I quite enjoyed the Specialist Maths excursion as it gave me a chance to look at maths that is not shown or taught in schools. The 3D printing and destructive testing were very enjoyable.” – Mitchell
• “I thought the excursion was very insightful as I was able to learn about modelling maths for real life scenarios. I found it interesting learning about the mishaps that can occur when building structures and how designs have developed overtime. It was quite enjoyable building our structure and was interesting seeing how much weight it could take.” – Ivanna
• “The excursion to University was extremely interesting as we were all able to get an insight into maths in the real world. We all designed and modelled our own bridges to explore which types of structures would be the strongest. This enabled us to communicate with one another and research ways to strengthen our bridges. Seeing our designs come to life with the 3D printer was extremely interesting and would definitely recommend it to other students!” – Samata
• “This was the first time that I got to learn about 3D printing, and I thought it was really interesting to know about how it works and to observe the printed products. It was helpful to learn about the reasons behind the structures of the bridges.” – Mingzhou

YEAR 10, 11 & 12 – CITY VISUAL ART EXCURSIONS

In Week 9 this term, our Year 10, 11 and 12 Visual Art students visited various galleries in Adelaide so that they could experience in person some of the wonderful artworks available for the public of South Australia to view. At the Art Gallery of South Australia, students were delighted to see an exhibition of paintings by the recently discovered Australian artist Clarice Beckett titled ‘The Present Moment’. These delightful artworks, created in the first half of the 20th Century took students on a sensory journey from the first breath of sunrise, through the day to the mists of nightfall.

Later in the day, students had the opportunity to view examples of the 2020 Stage 2 SACE Visual Arts students artworks and folios. This gave the them the opportunity to consider the diversity of themes that past students have attempted to communicate through art and to observe the variety of approaches to the presentation of their learning process in the Folios.

The excursion finished at the Samstag Museum of Art. Here students were challenged by the theatrical, multi-media installation artwork by the Irish artist Jesse Jones. The dark space with large video displays, moving walls of curtain and unexpected sounds and performances delighted and occasionally scared our students.

“There seemed to be a connection with the past and especially women of the past, who suffered greatly, and I felt a sense of relation, fear and empathy.” – Jenna

The diverse range of art approaches witnessed during this excursion will encourage our students to explore new concepts in their art and experiment with alternative media.

Mr Tom Tymukas – Learning Area Coordinator, Art

YEAR 7 – OUTDOOR EDUCATION EXPERIENCE

In Week 10, Year 7s enjoyed their camp at Woodhouse Activity Centre, Piccadilly in the Adelaide Hills. This Outdoor Education Experience is a land-based camp that helps to develop relationships, independence, resilience and camp craft. This year, the weather was perfect for students to try new activities and to get out of their comfort zones whilst engaging with other students.

YEAR 5 – OUTDOOR EDUCATION EXPERIENCE

Year 5 students have been enjoying some incredible weather on their camp at Douglas Scrub. Students set up their own tents and even cooked their own dinner on a Trangia last night. Other activities included an adventure trail, orienteering, rock-climbing, camouflage games, boomerang making and shelter building. Lots of fun!

Student Comments:

Shelter Building

The instructor spoke to us about different types of materials We could use in the bush. We enjoyed as it taught us how to survive in the wild. We learnt if you need help you can make a shelter out large branches and sometimes bark in case you are lost in the bush to protect yourself from wild weather and animals.

• “I like this because I like building shelters.” – Tanvi
• “It was fascinating to learn how fun it was to collect sticks and build with them.” – Vincent

Rock Climbing
To be safe for rock-climbing we all needed gear such as a helmet and a harness. Once we had had a safety talk, we went over to the climbing wall in pairs. An instructor strapped one of us in to go climbing as high as we could. It was quite scary for some of us, but most got to the top. Your partner eased the rope back to the instructor to belay us down.

• “It felt awesome getting to the top because we challenged ourselves.” – Neel
• “The belayer below helped you get to the top, so it was a team effort.” – Emily H

Camouflage Games

Dressed in hessian sacks we had to use the foliage to decorate ourselves to help us blend into our surroundings. We painted our faces dark and light green and brown to further help us camouflage. We played ambush and sardines where we had to camouflage into our surroundings as best we could before we were found.

• “We learnt how to be quiet and sneaky when creeping up on people.”- Hrihaan
• “I enjoyed being able to learn while having fun about camouflaging in the wild.” – Lizzi
• “I had a really good time learning how to camouflage and what makes it easier to stay well hidden.” – Stella
• “It was very challenging to find an effective spot to hide.” – Keith

Orienteering
With a map and a compass and we had to find markers around the camp site with our group. We held the compass in our hands and had to look where the red arrow was to orientate ourselves. Once we found each marker, we had to stamp our map to show we had successfully found each.

• “I enjoyed using the map to find the locations.” – Charlie J
• “I enjoyed leading the group to some of the markers.” – Isabella 

LIONS YOUTH OF THE YEAR CONTEST

Congratulations to Brooke Joppich, Year 11, who has progressed to the State Finals of the 2021 Lions Youth of the Year Contest.

Representing Pedare and the Golden Grove Lions Club, Brooke completed Round One of the competition at the Golden Grove Lions Club, and last weekend, was one of 5 contestants to participate in the regional round.

Brooke answered her two impromptu questions, ‘What are two values you see in a good leader?’ and ‘How have your range of subjects equipped you for your future goals?’ before giving her prepared speech on ‘My disAbility’ to the audience.

One of a talented field, Brooke performed very well to place second and we wish her the very best when she competes in the state final in the April holidays.
