JUNIOR SCHOOL VIRTUE
Welcome back after the long weekend. I hope everyone is relaxed and recharged
after having the four days holiday. Even though I worked on both Friday and Monday
I enjoyed the less frantic rush of normal school day mornings. One of my weekend
pleasures is to read the Saturday papers and it was with interest that I read Ros Thomas’
opinion section in the West. Her article was titled ‘Being too kind can be cruel’ (We want
to raise people who know the value of hard work, generosity and kindness. But we’re
often too quick to make it easy for them). She referred to Madeline Levine, an American
psychologist who stated “Never before have parents been so (mistakenly) convinced
that their every move has a ripple effect into their children’s future success.” This article
lead me to read more of Levine’s work. I read about her idea of hitting the sweet spot
between overparenting and underparenting. Parenting is a very difficult task and all,
we as parents and educators, want is for children to be happy and to thrive. We also
need to encourage children to be more independent and to accept that life is not
always a smooth journey. Children need to know that not always experiencing success
is all right and that it is not a catastrophe if they do not get what they want. Children
can learn from making mistakes or failing, they need to realise that they can just pick
themselves up and keep going. Parents need to let them experience this in order for
them to develop into resilient people who are risk takers.
Book Week
We finished the first half of the term on a very high note with our annual Book Week
celebrations. This year the theme of Book Week was Champions Read! As usual the
children enthusiastically embraced the chance to dress-up, with so many amazing
costumes being paraded. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those parents
who assisted their children in creating their costumes. The staff, under the direction
of Mrs Felicity Letch and Mrs Rose Hockley, performed the story ‘Punzie ICQ’ by Geoff
Havel. It was a very entertaining production with stellar performances by all the staff.

On Tuesday the Year 5 classes travelled to St Marks Anglican Community School to view
the biennial IPSHA Art Exhibition. Their own ceramic monks were on display looking
absolutely wonderful. Under the guidance of Mrs Marie McNeil the girls have worked
diligently on their monks, beginning with the planning of them whilst on camp at
New Norcia. Since camp they have worked through a process to produce their own art
pieces. Many thanks to Mrs McNeil for all her work in contributing our girls’ work to the
Art Exhibition.

St Mary’s Junior School Art Exhibition and Open Classroom Day
You will be able to view all the girls’ artwork at our Art Exhibition in Week 8 when you visit the school for ‘Open Classroom’
Day. On Wednesday 12 September the Year 1 to 6 classrooms will be open in the morning from 7.45am to 8.45am and then
again in the afternoon from 2.30pm to 3.30pm. It will be a time for you to come in and look through your daughter’s work
with her. The Art Exhibition will be set up in the Margaret Field Hall for you to view the artwork. Please note this is a time to
look at your daughter’s work but not to discuss her progress with her teacher.

From the Principal
Dear Parents and Students
Book Week
The highlight of last week was no doubt Book Week and the all-important dress-up day. The theme was
“Champions Read”, so we saw a lot of students coming along dressed as sports-related characters. And, then, of
course, there were the staff, who enjoyed the opportunity to dress up too! The Year 12s, with encouragement from
Rikki Thorne, Library Prefect, came dressed en masse as Pirates from Treasure Island. Thank you to all involved,
especially Maroussia Kozulin and Alana Hunt, who compered the lunchtime fashion parade, and to Mrs Nicholls
and her library staff for all that they did to organise such a successful week.
Purple Bra Day
We received good news last week that St Mary’s had raised the most funds of any school in Western Australia for
Purple Bra Day and Breast Cancer. Well done to Mrs Campbell and Ms Brader, and both our boarders and day
girls, for their fundraising efforts.
Cakes from the Country
Yesterday our boarders returned to school following the long weekend laden with cakes that were baked to raise
funds for this year’s charity choice by our Head Boarder, Sara Catto, Women for Women International. This
organisation works with socially excluded women in eight countries where war and conflict have devastated both
lives and communities. Thank you to the large numbers of staff and students who purchased cakes (and thank to
the boarders and their mums for baking such scrumptious ones). The boarders so far have raised $1,025 with more
to come, a fantastic result.
On Sabbatical Leave
I will be on sabbatical leave from the end of this week until the end of Term 3. Ms Joan Karmelita will take on the
role of Acting Principal in my absence. Needless to say, I wish all students, especially the Year 12s, an excellent
conclusion to the term.
A Term’s Notice Required for Students not returning in 2013
A reminder that a term’s notice is required for students who will not be returning to St Mary’s for 2013. Notification
received later than this will require a term’s fees to be paid in lieu of late notice. If you are uncertain whether this
may occur, it would still be helpful for St Mary’s to know this possibility a term in advance. Would you please
notify me in writing no later than Monday 15 October if you will be or may be withdrawing your daughter from the
beginning of 2013.
With every best wish.

Principal

Workshop for parents of children at St Mary’s
Optimising Opportunities for your Child
Date: Tuesday 25 September
Time: 2.00pm to 3.00pm
Venue: Margaret Field Hall
Speaker: Erica McWilliam
This presentation assists parents to understand better the futures that their children will live, learn and earn in and assists
in preparing them for such futures by allowing parents to work in parallel with the school’s approach to low threat, high
challenge learning. In particular, it puts the emphasis on developing in all children a disposition to self-manage in ways
that make children less praise-dependent and more likely to take risks in order to improve their capacity to learn, unlearn
and re-learn.
If you are interested in attending this workshop, please return the reply slip attached to the bottom of the letter which
was recently distributed to the girls.
Ride for the Cure for Cancer
Mr Jeff Carter, Kathleen Carter’s husband, is organising a major fundraiser at St Mary’s for Ride for the Cure for
Cancer. Mrs Carter, our much loved Italian teacher (based in Senior School), is receiving ongoing treatment for
cancer and a close friend is participating in the ride. He is aiming to raise $50,000.
We know that many members of our school community have been affected
by cancer, so I am hoping that there will be tremendous support to achieve a great
financial result for cancer research.
If you are in a position to support the fundraising event, be it in a small, medium or large
way, please contact Robyn Birkin on [email protected]. It will be held at St
Mary’s on the afternoon and early evening of Sunday 28 October.

Head Lice
There appears to be a recent outbreak of head lice within the school.
Parents please check your child/children’s hair and treat as required. The following is for your information and guide only.
Amanda Walker
Health Centre Co-ordinator
What are head lice?
Head lice are tiny insect parasites that live on the human head, feeding on the scalp several times a day. Head lice are
spread by head-to-head contact with another person who has head lice. Head lice can run from one head to another in
seconds. Adult lice are usually dark brown and about 2 to 3 mm long. Eggs (nits) may be seen attached to the hair shaft,
they are grey-white and about the size of a grain of salt.
How do I look for head lice?
To check hair for head lice, carefully comb plenty of hair conditioner through the dry hair, then comb again in sections with
a metal fine-tooth ‘nit’ comb. Wipe the combings on a white paper towel and examine them with a magnifying glass in
strong light to look for head lice and eggs.
What do I do if I find head lice?
Check all household members to see if anyone else has head lice. Inform the school or child care centre, and any other
contacts including playgroup, neighbours and relatives, so that other close contacts, both children and adults, can be
checked.
Commence treatment promptly. When treatment is complete, with all head lice and eggs removed, check the hair weekly
for any further head lice infestation.
Treatment
There are two effective methods for the removal of head lice. The ten day hair conditioner treatment involves applying hair
conditioner to dry hair and combing small sections of the hair with a fine tooth nit comb.
Insecticides have been shown to be effective and safe for the treatment of head lice. For further instructions on treatment,
see www.public.health.wa.gov.au/2/261/2/head_lice_fact_sheet.pm
Household Cleaning
It is not necessary to wash all the household linen or clothing, to vacuum, scrub or spray the house with insecticide, or to
treat the dog or cat.
Exclusion from School
Under the School Education Act 1999, a principal may exclude a child with head lice from school until treatment has
commenced. The Department of Health recommends exclusion at the end of the school day. The child may return to
school when all live head lice have been removed. A few remaining eggs are not a reason for continued exclusion.
However, the parent must continue treatment over the following ten days to ensure that all eggs and hatchlings have been
removed.
For further information visit www.health.wa.gov.au/headlice.

Counsellor’s Corner
HELP KIDS FACE THEIR FEARS
All kids experience fear at some stage. Cast your mind back and I am sure you can remember yours! Mostly you will smile
about them now. Many fears are normal and developmental such as fear of separation; fear of the dark and fear of new
situations. Other fears such as fear of the dentist, fear of new social situations and fear of dogs are more individual. They
are often learned, or happen due to experience.
Author Gisele Preuschoff, in her book, Raising Girls, describes a recent longitudinal study that showed how girls are more
fearful than boys. The physical signs of fear including increased heart rate and enlarged pupils are greater in girls than
boys. As androgens (male hormones) have a calming effect, boys show less fear.
Jerome Kagan, Professor of Psychology at Harvard University believes that excessive fear in girls is related to
overprotective but well-intentioned caring they receive from parents and carers. It has been noted that many parents
allow boys to take more physical risks than girls and have different views of danger for each gender. Does this relate to
your family?
Navigating fears is part of growing up. Fear plays an important role. It makes us cautious and causes us to prepare for a
new or risky situation. The preparation may be physical (“I’ll walk on the other side of the street to avoid that mean dog.”)
or psychological (“I’ll be brave when I visit the dentist”). Sometimes normal, healthy fears are confused with anxiety. Fear
is unhealthy if it overwhelms kids, dominating their thinking and behaviour or if it paralyses and prevents them from
participating in everyday life. Fear is normal if it makes them wary, but is not overwhelming.
Fears need to be faced
It’s important to remember that fear decreases (and sometimes disappears) with positive experiences. Walk past a scary
dog without being bitten often enough and you will learn that it is not so scary after all. Give enough talks at school and
kids will wonder what all the fuss was about!
Scaffolding is one way to help kids beat their fears. That is, if they are fearful of going into a new situation on their own,
go with them for a short-time, than find an excuse to leave once they have settled. Alternatively, they may spend a short
time at first in an unknown situation, increase the time as kids get used to it. Scaffolding beats avoidance and helps
overcome fear.
Validate your child’s fear but let them know you have faith that they will be able to face their fear. Point out that they
have conquered fear before when they rode a bike/gave a talk/slept on their own with the light off for the first time and
they can do so again.
Other ways to help kids be brave and reduce their fears:
1. Increase their physical skills. Increased physical confidence comes when children explore and learn to control their bodies. Gymnastics and martial arts are two activities that give boys and girls greater physical confidence.
2. Teach them how….Parents protect kids best by teaching them how to navigate new situations rather than prevent participation. Teach kids how to hold a sharp knife; how to walk home from the park safely on their own; and how to climb a tree and get down again. Sometimes little accidents will happen but that is how children learn, not just how to avoid a mistake next time; but they learn that they can cope with unpleasantness.
3. Teach kids simple relaxation techniques. Babies learn to self-soothe by sucking their fingers. Older children use other relaxation methods ranging from deep breathing, singing and self-distraction that come with reading a book, or listening to a story.
4. Show confidence and hope. Kids often take their cues from their parents, so if you want your child to be brave then you need to be brave too. Think about how you react to situations: verbally and non-verbally. I am not suggesting you be dismissive of real fears; but your confidence and reassurance can really help when kids have to face their fears. For example, when talking about your next Dentist visit, be matter of fact about it rather than saying you hate the sound of the drill. Remember this even when you are talking to another adult at home (or on the phone), your children may be listening!
(Ref: Michael Grose, Parenting Ideas)
Should your child’s fears be of significant, ongoing concern, impacting on their daily life, you may wish to consider
seeking professional advice, eg from a Psychologist.
