This year we have continued to pursue bringing speakers to the College that we hope will inform both families and staff about key educational topics. In my last newsletter I asked you to make an advanced note regarding a speaker we are bringing to Scotch in August.

Ms Flexer, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Audiology at The University of Akron, Ohio, is the world's foremost authority in the science of optimizing listening conditions in classrooms and will present a seminar on August 5^th at 6.30pm.

Further, Darren McLeod of Hear and Learn will offer contemporaneous training on how classroom sound enhancement technology works, and respond to questions of attendees about 'Lightspeed' brand technology and its use in classrooms in WA, Australia and the world.

Children in classrooms, whether or not they have a hearing loss, must be able to hear all parts of all sound sources in all learning spaces, irrespective of how far they are away from these sound sources. The auditory needs and expectations of today's children are higher and more sophisticated now as are their cultural and linguistic diversity.

If children cannot consistently and clearly receive auditory information in all of its forms, the major premise of the educational system is undermined - and that is what "acoustic accessibility" is about.

This presentation will explain, from a Universal Design perspective, how children "learn" to hear, and how acoustic environments affect their literacy achievement and academic progress. Strategies to achieve acoustic accessibility must recognize the fact that teachers, along with administrators, need to be given critical tools for implementation. Attendees will learn about successful strategies adopted by educators in other countries to improve education outcomes, create more inclusive learning spaces, and improve teacher welfare.

The role of the College in providing students and community access to external speakers is something we will continue to develop. Should anyone have any ideas regarding someone who could contribute to this programme as a speaker please contact my PA Mrs Purio via email to FEPurio@scotch.wa.edu.au

Have a great fortnight.

Year 10 Exchanges 2015

It is exciting to think that in 2015, some Year 10 Scotch boys will be spending up to a term at a school overseas. Exciting also to know that Scotch will be hosting students from other countries for the reciprocal visit. The response to a recent meeting regarding an exchange programme was very positive and those who attended were presented with a comprehensive list of excellent schools from around the world interested entering into an exchange partnership. Attending the meeting was Belinda Walker, the Round Square Representative from Bunbury Cathedral Grammar (BCGS). As a coordinator of exchanges at BCGS for many years, Belinda was able to answer many questions from parents and reassure those present that overwhelmingly students involved in exchange had positive and transformational experience. Despite travelling to locations such as Peru, Columbia and India, students managed well and felt supported by the Round Square family of schools.

Current Year 9 boys who are interested in applying for exchange in 2015 need to complete the Exchange Application Form and return to Anne Thomson or Senior School Reception by the end of term.

ICEA at Scotch

The Indigenous Communities Education Awareness Foundation (ICEA) recently commenced a Marja Mob group at Scotch for Year 10 boys. The programme is focused on increasing the level of awareness of Indigenous culture within the Scotch community by encouraging indigenous and non-indigenous students to collaborate on reconciliation initiatives. Run by young people, the Marja Mob works to empower students through cultural awareness training and advocacy. The establishment of a Marja Mob at Scotch follows a number of years of support for ICEA through fundraising by Cameron House in the Senior School.

Year 5 Calico Bag Art For Tanzania

The return of a 55 Calico Bags from Ghana will soon lead to a wonderful surprise for students at Matipwili Primary School in Tanzania. Scotch Year 5 students from 2013 designed logos as symbols to represent Australia and IB learner profile behaviors and attitudes, based on African 'Adinkra' symbols. Each student printed a calico bag with his logo and then decorated with fabric pens. Laminated posters of Australian animals were inserted to both educate the African students and provide them with a nice set of images for display. While not able to get through to the intended destination in Africa, the art work and messages will have a big impact in Matipwili village, when the Tanzania Expedition group, delivers them in person at end of this month.

Rafiki Ball Volunteers

Last Saturday evening, a small group of Year 12 boys assisted the organisers of the Rafiki Ball to fundraise for the next surgical team to visit Tanzania. The annual ball, held at the Grand Ballroom Crown Perth, is a major fundraising event for a programme involving medical volunteers who work to reconstruct facial deformities and alleviate burn contractures. The boys involved worked to run the silent and floor auctions as well as move between the tables collecting donations. Wearing their winter uniforms, they were a highly visible presence in the room and represented the College well.

"The real essence of art turned out to be not something high up and far off: it was right inside my ordinary daily self." - Shin'ichi Suzuki

On Tuesday and Wednesday of Week 6, immediately following the Boarders' Long Weekend, more than 160 musicians from the Junior and Middle Schools enjoyed their Music Camp. Being able to dress in casual clothes set the atmosphere for something very different to a normal school day. Boys were able to rehearse in their ensembles, participate in workshops, enjoy shared lunches, perform to each other in a concluding camp concert and enjoy each other's company in musical endeavours. A highlight of the camp for some boys was the building of their own trumpets out of garden hoses and funnels, where for others, the workshops were a focus of enjoyment. My thanks to all music staff who ensured that the camp ran as smoothly as possible and was so engaging for the boys.

The camp provided valuable rehearsal time for many of the ensembles that will be performing at the upcoming Junior and Middle School Autumn Concert on Friday 20 June in the Dickinson Centre. This concert provides an opportunity for many boys to present the work that they have been preparing during before and after school rehearsals, together with the Year 5 boys who have been developing a presentation based on their Unit of Inquiry. An email has been sent to all Music families advising of this concert - please take note of the early performance time of 6.30pm. Performers should arrive by 6pm in Winter Uniform. Everyone is very welcome to enjoy this free, non-ticketed event.

Upcoming events this term and beyond include the Junior and Middle School Autumn Concert 20 June, Reporter Photos 23 July, Senior Recital and Upson Award 31 July, Jazz Night 8 August, Performance Festivals 9 - 10 August and Con Brio 12 - 13 August. Please make a note of the new date for the annual Jazz Night - now to be held at the end of Week 3 Winter Term.

Each of the events listed above are supported by FOSM. If you would like to join the Friends of Scotch Music (FOSM) - a group of parents who enthusiastically support the work of boys and staff in the Music Department, the process is very straight forward via the FOSM email below.

House Spirit

Two kilometres of hard work, sore legs, sore lungs, wanting to stop and walk… running at the back of the field, but the loudest cheers were saved for our final competitors. This was the spirit and support given to our boys, first through last, who competed and completed the cross-country course.

"As a father, I believe that involving children in sports at a young age is generally, a wise proposition. I believe that healthy competition is... well... healthy; that sporting events foster a spirit of teamwork that far surpasses the events themselves; and that active participation keeps children moving and is good for their self-esteem." Naveen Jalin

Last week saw our Year 1 to 5 boys demonstrate true house spirit. Marching in behind their banners, the boys assembled in their blue, yellow, red, brown, black and green house shirts. They were keen to try their best, keen to have a go and keen to represent their House. The House Captains had written the first war cries for their House and had practiced these ready to sing them as victors on the day. But most importantly, the boys wanted to run.

As they sprinted the first 100 meters, the racers soon settled into a natural rhythm. Some raced ahead and challenged for places, others followed up behind working to finish the demanding course. Most importantly the boys supported one another. As they ran they encourage each other to keep going and, as they finished, the rest of the members of their houses, as well as parents and staff, cheered them on.

One of our goals this year has been to further develop House spirit. Events like our Inter-House Cross Country Carnival, so wonderfully organised by Mr Caniglia, is a perfect vehicle to promote this. The boys supported and cheered on each other and were fine ambassadors for their House and College.

The opportunity to develop the boys' House spirit in the sporting and academic arena is very important. They need to learn to see the benefit of trying hard and to appreciate the efforts of others. We cannot all be winners but we can all be champions. Bruce House, our winners on the day, sang the war cry with pride, but most of all demonstrated, as did all of our students, the spirit of fine Scotch boys.

Primary Years Programme (PYP)

Parent Engagement Workshop (PEW): Inquiry/Units of inquiry

Ten enthusiastic parent inquirers participated in our most recent PEW on Tuesday 4 June. Our attendance was down, most likely due to the long weekend, and we were missing one presenter due to "Volcanoitis", however that did not dampen spirits or impede our constructivist approach.

Collaboratively we explored the what and why of inquiry, with the bulk of our time spent on delving into the process of inquiry (How best will we learn?). We did this by working through the planning stages that staff use when planning units of inquiry (UOIs) and looking at examples from classes across the school.

Participants reviewed the six transdisciplinary themes that frame all units of inquiry, the JS programme of inquiry, central ideas, backwards by design planning, assessments (pre, formative and summative), provocations, as well as learning engagements that facilitate inquiry, a copy of which can be found on the Junior School wiki.

If you have any questions in regards to inquiry pedagogy, or the PYP, please don't hesitate to contact me.

5W News

5W have been looking at signs and symbols in inquiry this term and how they communicate meaning. The students have been looking at colour and how this influences decisions we make. Some students have been researching why companies choose particular symbols to represent their products and what these mean. The boys have particularly enjoyed designing their own symbol for their School Houses. The Junior School Houses do not currently have crests and a competition has been started for this. The best ones are being forwarded to Mr Stewart in the hope that they will be accepted and used as the new crests on the House shirts.

Art News

How is Art connected to Science, Maths, Writing and Language?

The PYP Programme is concept driven and inquiry based learning. Recently the Year 2 boys have been authentically linking learning between Art class and classroom investigations in their unit of inquiry on How The World Works, looking particularly into connections. The boys have been creating machine collages and they have used a range of sources and information to inform and inspire them including Media, Technology, Maths, Science, Language, Writing and Visual Art.

After the project, I asked boys to reflect on a Burning Question, "How is Art connected to Science, Maths, Writing and Language?" I encouraged them to think first and then answer in clear detail, as if they were a professor. These were some of their insightful responses. Words of wisdom from 7 year old boys! This is what the hononary 'Professors' for the day had to say :

"We connected to Maths and Science because we learnt a lot of new stuff like about levers, inclined planes, wheels and axels, wedges, screws and pulleys and it helped us make a machine in Art."

Isaac Smith

" Art is connected to Science because we just investigated six simple machines and how they work. In Art, we drew on our imagination first and then we drew on our new learning about machines. "

Jack Wood

" I think when we are writing about our artwork, it helped you to remember what you've learnt."

Angus King

" Art connects to writing because you can group your ideas into different sets, like we did today in the different groups of machines."

Austin Hollier

" Art connects to language when we learn and use new words.

Nathan Liu

"Shapes are related to Maths and in Art, we use shapes to craft things."

Callum Loughnane

" Art relates to Science because you make new discoveries."

Tane Croon-Hargrave

" Art is connected to Language because when you make new discoveries, you can tell people about it."

Charlie Bowles

"Art is connected to Maths because you want to get everything the right size, so you need to use rulers and measuring sticks. In Art, you need to use measuring tools to make sure it's the right size. "

Yahya Sadek

"Art connects to language because in Art you have to talk about your question or they will never know your great answers. You need to write and draw, so people can know what you know.

Frankie Foster

"Art is connected to listening in Language because you need to listen about how to draw different shapes and make it easier. "

Wes Howell

" Art is connected to science and language. If you discover something in architecture, you will want to tell someone about your ideas."

Performing Arts News

The boys in Year 4 have been showing excellent focus and teamwork skills as they explore improvisation and the elements of drama. Some of their tasks have included working in collaboration with others to develop an improvisation related to a given current affair issue, and role-playing a wide range of characters and imagined situations to create performances that use character roles and sounds to convey situations. One of their favourite tasks required them to collaborate and respond through improvisation and movement to create human machines. The boys then presented these performances to their classmates. Below are a couple of freeze-frame photos from the activity.

I also have a fantastic collection of photos that will be showcased soon from the Music Camp that took place in Week 6. I spoke with fellow Ensemble directors after the camp and we all noted how focused and engaged the boys were throughout rehearsals and workshops. With the Junior and Middle School Autumn Concert fast approaching (Week 8, Friday 20 June) this really highlighted the value of the boys participating in intensive rehearsals. The Camp Concert provided an excellent opportunity for the boys to be inspired by each other as they often do not get the opportunity to listen to the variety of ensembles that rehearse every week at Scotch College - especially when they are back stage for most of the Autumn Concert!

Friendly Schools and Families

What can I do if I think my children are being bullied at school?

• Try to talk with your children about what is going on
• Listen to their concerns and believe them
• Be aware of your own response and react in a calm and helpful manner
• Talk with your children's teachers and calmly discuss the situation and some possible strategies
• Encourage your children to ask for help at school if they are being bullied e.g. talk about who they could talk to at school, and how to ask for help. 


What can I do to help my children if they are being cyber-bullied?


To prevent and respond to cyber-bullying, a useful acronym to remember is I-CURRB.

• Investigate what your child is doing online.
• Communicate regularly with your children to understand what they enjoy doing online.
• Use family safety software to keep track of what your children are able to access online.
• Research your school and Internet Service Provider's (ISP) policies on cyber-bullying. Online applications, such as IM, will also have their own policies.
• Report cyber-bullying to your child's school. If you have serious concerns for your child's safety, contact your local police.
• Block communications from students who cyber-bully others. Most Instant Messenger (IM) applications, chat rooms and email account providers allow you to block messages from identified people.

Information Learning Technology

Skoolbo

Our Year 1 to 3 boys are making some amazing progression using the Skoolbo programme on their iPads. Although Skoolbo "may look and feel like a game to the boys, every component has the underlying rationale of maximizing student improvements."

The Skoolbo app pre-tests the boy in both literacy and numeracy and continues to reassess after each game. There is a blend of new content, not yet mastered content and revision content provided to each child. This inbuilt differentiation is a significant factor in including Skoolbo in the suite of apps on the boys' iPads.

Tips for Maximum Benefit

• Recommended usage for Skoolbo is four times per week for around 20 mins each time. The boys will want to play longer so remember to utilise the timer on the iPads!
• Don't let other children (or adults) play on your child's account. Skoolbo uses a smart algorithm that determines the most appropriate learning activities specifically for your child based on his or her recent performance. Other users could affect the level of activity presented to your child.
• Refer to the Parent Guide available at the Downloads tab on the web site for additional tips and instructions. www.skoolbo.com.au/downloads

Parents with any questions or queries about Skoolbo or any other apps used on the school iPads should feel free to contact me.

French News

Bonjour! The Year 3 classes are making fantastic progress in French. The boys have been working cooperatively which helped the new boys settle into the French environment. The boys are now responding very well to the question Comment ça va? (How are you?) at the beginning of every lesson. They enjoy sharing their answers with the rest of the class. In order to make meaningful links to their unit of inquiry, How the world works, the boys will be learning about animals and insects in French. They will also be creating un animal fou, fou by combining different parts of animals which they will label in French. The boys have conducted a survey in French in which they asked the question as-tu un animal? We will be reading the stories La vieille dame qui avala une mouche (the old lady who swallowed a fly) and Bon appétit M. Lapin.

Participation and Positivity

Thank you for joining us on the oval last Thursday for our Inter-House Cross Country event. Once again it was a fantastic setting and the great weather was complemented with gutsy endeavours by the boys and a loud, cheering and positive atmosphere generated by all of those on the sidelines. Congratulations to Will Gordon (6GB) and Luca Fry (7W) on their terrific wins and my admiration to those boys who find running difficult but stuck it out to finish and contribute to their House. We saw great displays of both ability and character during the Cross Country races.

Whilst running around Lake Claremont last week the growth around the lake's edge that Middle School has been involved in replanting is very noticeable. FOLC, Friends of Lake Claremont has invited Middle School boys to participate in replanting events for the past four years and the results in regrowth and rehabilitation are impressive. During Week 8 and 9 all Middle School classes will once again join in the annual replanting programme and hopefully reflect with some pride the return of a wetland that was once a municipal rubbish tip and the earthy enjoyment of getting their hands dirty.

In closing, thank you to our Music Staff who combined brilliantly last week to offer an engaging on-campus Music Camp. Feedback from our boys in words and pictures was that they had a great time and look forward to showcasing their development at the Autumn Concert on Friday 20 June.

Fund Raising Initiatives

Over the next few weeks we are holding three significant fund raising events with money raised going towards Variety WA The Children's Charity and their efforts to provide support for children in domestic violence shelters.

Second Hand Book Sale:Charlie Wackett (7W) is busy collecting second hand books for a book sale in the Middle School Atrium in Week 9. Books will be priced at 50c, $1.00, or $2.00 each. Charlie is hoping boys will look at their own book shelves at home and donate half a dozen previously read and loved books that will be appealing to other boys.

Free Dress Day:Community Service Club students will hold a free dress day in Week 10 on Wednesday 2 July for a gold coin donation.

Movie Night: Kobey Rafferty (7M) andJonah Benbow (7M) have a movie evening planned for Thursday 3^rJuly at 6.30pm. The venue will be either in the Middle School staffroom or the table tennis rooms depending upon numbers. Jonah will have a popcorn machine cranked up and producing from early afternoon. Tickets are $5.00 and include popcorn, a can of drink and movie ticket. BYO pillow if desired. Tickets on sale at recess time in the Middle School Atrium.

Coming Events

Knitting for a Cause in 7M

There are many things that go together - salt and pepper, strawberries and cream, yin and yang, art and music, but, boys and knitting? 7M broke the mold on Thursday 29 May when they enjoyed an afternoon of knitting.

On the eve of the Boarders' Long Weekend the boys of 7M learned how to knit, had a lesson in perseverance and concentration, and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon all in the name of Community Service. The boys knitted squares to put together to make a blanket which will be donated to charity at the end of this term.

The idea was taken from the Asia-Pacific Round Square Conference in Auckland that I attended in April. The 200 delegates that attended the conference were knitting Peggy Squares to be turned into blankets to be donated to the local maternity hospital.

A big THANK YOU to all of the mums who gave up their time to come to our knitting afternoon. You all showed great care and patience as you helped the boys harness their knitting skills. We cannot wait to see the finished product!

Student Achievements

Congratulations to Ronnie Fellow-Smith (6O) who as a member of the Millenium Kids Project presented at the Discovering Rivers Leadership Forum last week.

Congratulations to Max Shervington (6B) for his selection in the u/12 State School's Golf Championship to be held next week.

Congratulations to Ben Olson (7G) and William Lewis (6C) for being selected to represent Western Australia in the U12s State Hockey Team at the National Championships in Tasmania in August.

Congratulations to Jack Taylor (7G) who has received an Excellence in Writing Award in the Write4Fun Schools Writing Competition. As a result Jack's poem Place of Peace will be published in a new book of West Australian poetry titled 'Write as Rain'.

Student Wellbeing

The need for all boys to feel valued, safe and comfortable underpins everything else that they do at school (and at home). For this reason, boys in the Senior School complete an annual survey on peer relationships. Boys in Year 8, 9 and 10 completed this survey over the past two weeks. While early analysis of the results shows that the general trend of bullying related incidents in the Senior School is low and continues to decline as measured over the past six years, bullying behaviour remains a focus of our pastoral care programme. House Heads will be working confidentially with any boys identified in the survey over the next two weeks as part of an ongoing strategy to enhance the wellbeing of all students.

The past three weeks have seen Year 11 boys running wellbeing activities for all students during lunchtime. Some of the wellbeing activities have included table tennis games, Frisbee throwing competitions, slatterball, basketball trick shots, chess and lunchtime concerts. The activities change each week and will continue until next term. It has been wonderful watching large numbers of boys coming together across different year groups to lob a basketball off the verandah of the Dickinson Centre into a bin in the pool area or throw a Frisbee across the oval into a bin in an attempt to win a bag of lollies.

Year 11 - PC Anderson and WR Dickinson Scholarships 2014

Students currently in Year 11 are invited to apply for the PC Anderson Scholarship or the WR Dickinson Scholarship. The PC Anderson Scholarship was established by the Old Scotch Collegians to commemorate the contribution made by PC Anderson as Headmaster. It is awarded to a boy who is a son or grandson of an OSC.

All other current Year 11 students may apply for the WR Dickinson Scholarship.

The Scholarships are available to boys in Year 11 for their final two years of school and the fees for the successful recipients are adjusted accordingly.

The criteria for both scholarships is based on:

• Academic ability and performance
• Leadership qualities and aspirations
• Interest and success in PSA sports and:
• Involvement and success in a broad range of co-curricular pursuits.

Students who are interested in applying for either of these Scholarships are requested to collect an information package from the Admissions Office located in Collegians House. The package will not be provided to parents, boys will need to collect the information from Admissions.

All applications should be submitted to the Admissions Office by Monday 11 August at 4.00pm, with interviews being conducted a few weeks later. Please contact Ms Di Moran in Admissions 9383 6809 if you have any queries.

Personal Project

The Personal Project is now in the final stages and many boys have been very busy creating some fantastic products. At this stage boys should be near completion of their product and submitted drafts of their report to their supervisors.

The project is due on Friday 8 August. On this day the report, process journal and product are due. For those boys who have created large products, they can submit photos of their product. All large products need to be delivered to the DC on Monday 15 September in preparation for the showcase.

It is important to remember that the purpose of the Personal Project is to provide students with an opportunity to 'showcase' the skills they have learnt throughout the MYP. These skills include research, planning, communication, report writing and time management. The Personal Project enables students to apply these skills to a topic of their own choice and personal interest.

The objective is to promote independence, personal development, help students to identify the processes they follow as a learner and prepare students for Year 11 and 12.

The Personal Project team wishes the boys the best of luck as they near the completion of their projects.

PSA Surf Report

Awakening to awesome weather and pumping waves, the Scotch College Surf Team was stoked to get out there, to represent the School at Scarborough Beach. Solid 3ft peaks (head high for non surfers! (Ed.) saw surfers making the best of every perfect wave, when competing in the 3-man tag-team system. Outstanding performances from Hugo Shervington (Year 11, Alexander) in the Senior surf division and Riley Walker (Year 9, Shearer) from the Junior surf division, helped Scotch come a respectable 3^rd place (after a surprisingly strong Hale Junior surf team pushed us out of an expected 2^nd place in the final round), with Christ Church Grammar winning the event. Special thanks must go to Mr Rugg and Mr Wisniewski for helping pick the team and marshal the boys into each event. I am excited to see what the rest of the season has to offer, with the Inter-house surfing (July 21) and the Metropolitan competition later in the season, next term.
