It is an interesting concept. No one gains respect simply because they have power or position or age. There are clearly different concepts of respect in different cultures. The Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjöld, is quoted as saying: ‘Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others may receive your orders without being humiliated.’ Why then, are some people more respected than others? What do they do that sets them apart? Two of the qualities they possess are a greater awareness of where they fit into the big picture, and awareness about themselves as individuals. They have no pretences. In Australian culture, respect is generally given to those who enhance the dignity and worth of others. In the Old Testament, 1 Samuel 16:7 says, ‘Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart’. George Van Valkenburg captures this thought in relation to leadership integrity when he says: ‘Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching’. With these thoughts in mind, we act, and lead, as an expression of who we are. Our integrity as a person – as a leader, a teacher, a friend, a father or mother and a husband or wife – depends on seeing ourselves honestly and seeking to live faithfully and truthfully. Nicolas Malebranche (Traité de morale, 1684) says: ‘We can always make ourselves liked provided we are likeable, but we cannot always make ourselves esteemed, no matter what our merits are’. Respect needs to be taught explicitly in a world where it is sometimes undervalued. We demonstrate respect as leaders. Respect is a powerful value that serves to erode negative behaviours such as bullying, rudeness, poor sportsmanship, criticism, negativity and fear. Some practical tips for respectful behaviour may include: actively listen to others; demonstrate fairness and consistency; demonstrate honesty – always; demonstrate loyalty to others and the team; model the behaviours that you value; do what you say you are going to do; support others in need; treat all people equally, regardless of status; admit when you are wrong; give credit where it is due; celebrate excellence and integrity wherever you find it; and honour the things that others value. Respect comes from the regard other people have for the way we carry ourselves, the way we live our lives, how we fulfil our roles and responsibilities, and the way we treat others. Never underestimate the power of respect. BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 2 of 18 Congratulations to Jenny Cook, the OOSH Team and Mrs Tamara Powell – Director of College Improvement on successfully passing the recent accreditation under the National Quality Framework. Jenny and the team have been working towards this for 12 months. It is a great result for the OOSH and the College. Carpe Diem – Seize the Day Mr Peter Moulds Principal BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 3 of 18 Director of Academics Curriculum delivery is well and truly underway for the year and students should be on task in each of their subjects. Homework is an important part of the learning experience at the College. The development of good study habits is essential for academic success. Regular homework will be given across all subjects. This homework will include a variety of tasks such as assessment preparation, revision activities, question and answer activities, note-taking, study note compilation, research and reading activities. In Year 7 and 8 students should be dedicating approximately 1- 1 ½ hours each evening, Year 9 and 10 should be dedicating approximately 2 – 2 ½ hours and Year 11 and 12 students should be spending a minimum of 3 hours each night on either homework or study. Students across all years should be receiving assessment information from their teachers. Formal notification of assessment tasks is provided at least two weeks in advance for all tasks. Assessment booklets for each of the Year groups (7-11) have been finalised and an electronic copy of these has been placed on the Parent Lounge. An Assessment Booklet Notification Form has also been provided to students. This form will need to be signed by both parents and students as acknowledgement of familiarity with the relevant assessment procedures for each Year group. These signed forms are to be returned to Pastoral Teachers by the end of Week 6. Students have also received a photocopied version of the assessment booklet. It is essential that students use this assessment information to plan their approach to tasks throughout the year. Strict guidelines apply in relation to the completion and submission of assessment tasks and it is important that students do their very best in these tasks throughout the year. Mrs Leanne Lynch Director of Academics BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 4 of 18 Director of Secondary Report Midway - Term 1 We are at the halfway point of Term 1 and our students should be settling into a solid routine by now. It's crucial that we maintain high expectations of all students and the discipline required to meet these expectations will serve them well in life after BTAC. I have already been so impressed by the large number of students who are amassing merits for exceptional behaviour. I truly appreciate those students who regularly go above and beyond in their service to the College and it's already apparent that we have a large number of these. I congratulate them on a terrific start to 2015 and urge them to sustain this approach. The firm expectations around uniform, behaviour and academic rigour are certainly testing some students. These students and their parents will be well aware of the demerits issued and the consequences that follow. Whilst the adjustment to expectations can be frustrating it's important that parents and students understand that staff at BTAC are committed to the development of every child and will work hard to assist each and every individual. Whether it be celebrating merits with your child or discussing the consequences of multiple demerits it's crucial that the College and our College families work closely together. I welcome your feedback and encourage you to raise concerns. An open, honest dialogue between all parties will always see the best outcome for our students. Mr Paul Lynch Director of Secondary BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 5 of 18 Director of Primary Report Thank you to our Primary parents who attended the Getting To Know You Interviews this week. Getting to Know You Interviews are scheduled for all parents and teachers and are an important event on the Primary School calendar. They provide an opportunity for parents/carers to engage with the School so that together we can collaborate in order to set individual learning goals for your child. This communication is most important in empowering students to keep improving in all areas of their learning. Solid communication between home and school plays an important role in children's education and a strong partnership between parents and schools enriches the learning experience. Mrs Alicha Dyer Director of Primary Primary News Healthy Hints CHOOSE WATER Water should be our first choice as a drink. It helps our bodies to stay hydrated and function properly. It contains no sugar and can be enjoyed cold or straight out of the tap. When exercising, our bodies lose water through sweat and this is how our body tries to keep itself at a healthy temperature. This is why it is important to drink even more water than usual when we exercise. Did you know that our bodies are made up of approximately 60% water? Miss Jasmine Trimble – PE Teacher BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 6 of 18 Year 2 + 12 Morning Tea On Monday the Year 12 + Year 2 students met for a picnic lunch. With lots of snacks and picnic rugs set up in the shade, the older students were able to further get to know their buddies and what they get up to in Year 2 and vice versa. After photos and an enormous game of tips, we sat down for a break and a treat – ice-cream! Lunch time went quickly as we soon heard the bell and packed up. The Year 12 students walked their buddies back up to their classrooms and said goodbye. The Year 12 students were buzzing about how much fun it was and how awesome their buddies were and I’m sure it was the same for the Year 2s! We genuinely cannot wait to see our buddies again with many of us heading to the primary area during lunchtimes and already asking the date for our next catch up. Claudia Smith - Year 12 Student Secondary News Science Faculty Homework Policy – 2015 Students always have something to do in Science. 1. Each week students must complete a homework task. They will have all week to compete this. This task will vary from week to week, but will generally involve students engaging with scientific “reading” and/or research. Students may be expected to, for example: a. Read a particular article, or watch a particular video/TV episode, then answer questions, make some kind of comment, or respond to a stimulus statement. b. Research a current issue that relates to the unit being studied i.e. the impact of radiation on ecosystems surrounding Fukushima. c. Identify an article/video of interest and give a brief synopsis of the content. BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 7 of 18 2. Students should commence revision summaries very early. It is recommended that, amongst other approaches, they utilise the website Brainscape which enables them to easily create electronic flashcards in a very user-friendly manner. Some time should be allocated to this task each week. 3. In addition, students may receive daily homework from their teacher which may be, for example: a. Finishing off a small section of theory work commenced during class in preparation for the following lesson. b. Completing an experiment report. 4. Lastly, students should develop the habit of briefly revisiting the lessons from the day/week. Revisiting a concept within 24 hours of learning it for the first time increases retention by 90%! Mr David Smith – Head of Science Mathematics Hello again from the Mathematics Department. This week I would like to run through a few IT items. Firstly, students from Years 7 - 10 have been given their “Mathletics” login details for the year. Students are encouraged to use this resource to complement their learning in class. Their class teacher will sometimes set tasks for them to do but students are able to access this site at any time from their iPads or PC’s at home. There is an app for Mathletics on the iPad. It is a great form of study and skill practise. If there are any issues with Mathletics, please feel free to ask your class teacher or Mr O’Brien. Students in Year 7 – 10, as well as 11-12 General, will have received their Oxford Insight Textbooks. These can be accessed on their devices by logging onto the website and typing in the code from the inside cover of their book. This allows them to have the text on their device and to also access extra tasks that are online only. Once again, please ask your teacher if you need help with this. Mathematics Tutoring is available straight after school for all students on Thursday afternoons. Tutoring is free and students must come along with their work and any problems they have encountered. It runs till 4:00pm and is held in Room 26. Senior student tutoring is also available during sport time on a Thursday in Room 27 with Mr O’Brien. Joke of the week: Why was the Mathematics book sad? Because he had so many problems! Mr Craig O’Brien - Head of Mathematics BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 8 of 18 Visual Arts Congratulations to Lauren Steel, whose impressive sculpture has been included in the 2015 ARTEXPRESS Exhibition at both the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre and Maitland Regional Art Gallery. Lauren’s ‘Laced with Corruption’ was made using a combination of porcelain slip casting (lace), and 3D printing based on her own original SketchUp designs. Congratulations also goes to Melissa Bell for her HSC body of work ‘Where’s my 15 minutes?’ and Jasmine Thompson for her work titled ‘29 000 Burdens’. Both girls’ artworks have been selected for the Lake Macquarie Art Gallery’s First Class 14 Exhibition. This showcase of exemplary HSC works highlights Hunter and Central Coast students’ innovative subject matter and quality of technical accomplishment. These are outstanding achievements for Lauren, Melissa and Jasmine, and we are extremely proud of their successes. Another success for BTAC Visual Arts students was Laura McDonald winning first prize at the prestigious Young Archies competition at Maitland Regional Art Gallery. This competition and accompanying exhibition is a spin-off of the Archibald Prize. The judges based their decision on merit and originality, and understandably Laura’s beautifully rendered dry-point etching of her grandmother impressed the judges enormously. Congratulations go to all four BTAC girls for having their artworks on exhibition in such well-regarded NSW public galleries. Mrs Michelle Yates – Visual Arts Teacher BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 9 of 18 Thomas House News Well done to all Thomas House students on their fantastic win at the 2015 BTAC Senior Swimming Carnival. It was a spectacular day starting with 16 students fronting up early to the pool (thankyou parents) and competing in the Medley events, followed by a fantastic march and display of house spirit into the pool, led by Thomas leaders Claudia Smith and Jackson Manahan. The participation from Thomas students was wonderful on the day with many students swimming in events way outside their comfort zone. Special mention has to go to the year 8 boys who filled every lane for four events, well done boys. Also Lachlan T and Liam O for their efforts in the 100m it was a great demonstration of House pride. The positive response of students to the ranking system was another highlight and the reward was both an amazing amount of individual as well as house pride created and of course the valuable house points for getting involved on the day. Congratulations also to our senior girls relay team who took their race in the final meters, well done girls. Mr Brett Owers - Thomas House Patron HICES Debating – Round 1 Wrap-up On Tuesday afternoon, the College hosted around 120 students from Central Coast Grammar, Newcastle Grammar, Lakes Grammar and Hunter Valley Grammar schools for round 1 of the HICES Debating competition. The College recorded its most successful round in the last 18 months with three of our six teams victorious! I would like to congratulate all of our debaters who represented themselves and the College with distinction. I am also very grateful for the assistance provided by a number BTAC Weekly Bulletin – Issue 1505 Page 10 of 18 of students who were willing to give up their afternoon to help chair, time- keep and provide direction for our visitors. Topics included: ‘That factory farming is financially justified’, ‘That farmers deserve more financial subsidies’ and ‘Financial incentives should be offered to encourage people to move to rural areas’. Whilst our two Middle division teams and one of our Open division teams were unsuccessful, both Senior division teams and our Open (A) team recorded victories. Congratulations to the following students: Middles 1 – Jessica A, Lucas M, Freddie Hr, Flynn C Middles 2 – Aiden R, Aleria D, Teagan P , Zoe C Seniors 1 – Megan W, Miranda S, Lachlan T, Jackson N Seniors 2 – Austin H, Emma C-N, Geran D, Sean K Open – Joseph P, Maddie G-J, Ayswaria P, Jed S Open 1 – Isaac M, Michael S, Portia G, Jackson K Round 2 will be hosted by Newcastle Grammar School on Thursday, 19th March.

Despite the beautiful weather and high spirits, and emphatic win in Division 2 last year; we were not able to book a Division 1 berth for next year, taking out 8th place overall. There were some strong individual performances such as Karl F’s win in the 200m Freestyle and Chiara V’s 2nd in the 50m Backstroke, which were celebrated at the time in fine style. As we have come to expect, the students were fine ambassadors for the College and showed great spirit and commitment to fill all the events and swim their hardest at each opportunity. Division 2 awaits us in 2016 and BTAC will relish the opportunity to show how competitive we can be in that event. Mr Joel Cruickshank – PE Teacher HRIS Primary Swimming On Wednesday 25th of February the BTAC Primary Swimming Team competed at the HRIS Division 2 Swimming Championships at Maitland Pool.

Along with our team placing of 5th, BTAC also had some outstanding individual performances. Tyler T and Sullivan O both received 8 Years and 9 Years Age Champion respectively after having success in the pool throughout the day. The BTAC 9 Years Boys also received an Age Pennant award after gaining the most points across a single age group amongst the competing schools. Congratulations to all team members for their sportsmanship and BTAC spirit at the carnival. If there was 1st place for spirit and cheer volume, we would certainly get it!

This year, through collaboration with the College Executive, we've included guest speakers at each P&F general meeting. Our aim is to support the College's efforts in improving communication by providing a forum where parents and caregivers can interact directly with our speakers to ask questions and take part in the consultative process. This is why we advocate so strongly for you to attend our meetings. We understand people may still have questions following our meetings, or were perhaps unable to attend. In these instances, we encourage you to feel comfortable to raise your questions directly either with your class teacher, Mrs Dyer, Mr Lynch or Mr Moulds. We are fortunate that we have a College Executive who are willing to make themselves available, so please don't hesitate to contact them.
