A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER
I wish to thank the College community for the congratulations and best wishes that I have received
since the announcement of my permanent appointment as Headmaster of the College. I
appreciate and value the number of people who continually support the College and myself in
their prayers. I am confident that God will continue to watch over and guide the College and, that
by committing all things to him in prayer, together we will be able to achieve great things in His
name in the Macarthur region.
It is a privilege to lead a community such as Broughton. The College has been blessed with its rural
environment, the wonderful facilities, its committed and talented staff and a supportive and encouraging parent
body. However, it is the students of Broughton, past and present, who are a measure of the quality of the College
and how successful we are as an educational institution and in implementing our vision and mission.
As I commence this next stage of my leadership of the College, I feel it is appropriate and valuable for me to
reflect on the four aspects of leadership that I promised to follow, in my first speech as Interim Headmaster in July
2009. I would value feedback from the College community as to whether I have acted in a manner which reflected
the following characteristics of leadership in my first year as Head:
i) Seek to be a servant leader – seeking not to be served but to serve others
“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave to
all. For even the Son of Man, did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom to many.”
Jesus, Mark 10:43 - 45
ii) Seek to care for those that I lead
iii) Seek to lead by example, modeling Christ-like behaviour in my actions and my words
“Be shepherds of the flock that is under your care, serving as overseers – not because you must, but because you are
willing as God wants you to be; not greedy for money but willing to serve; not by lording over those entrusted to you
but by being examples to the flock.” 1 Peter 5:2-3
iv) Attempt to ensure that I aim to bring glory to God in all that I do
“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” Corinthians 10:30
Last July, I asked all members of the College community, to make me accountable to these aspects of leadership in
my role as Headmaster. I would value feedback as to whether you believe I continue to remain focused in
displaying these aspects of Christian leadership or do you feel that I am straying from the model of Christian
leadership as outlined by Christ.
Please feel free to give feedback either by talking to me or by emailing [email protected].

MOCK TRIAL
The Year 11 Legal Studies class is currently participating in the Mock Trial competition against schools from the
south-west region. This competition is coordinated by the Law Society of New South Wales.
The Mock Trial is a simulated court case competition for students of Years 10 and 11. The objective is to teach the
students about the law and judicial system in a simulated adversarial environment.
The Broughton Anglican College team consists of the following Year 11 students: Rebecca Blackburn, Rebecca
Dunshea, Grace Kilgour, Jarrad McCarthy, Zachary McLean, Pamela Ramirez, Victoria Tranby, Nathan Willard and
Isabella Zuzul. These students are very enthusiastic and passionate about applying what they have learnt in class in
a real life scenario.
We have competed against St. Patrick’s College (last year’s regional winners) and Mount Annan High School.
Round 1 was a practice run against St. Patrick’s. In Round 2 we won our court case against St. Patrick’s, but
unfortunately lost on the adjudication by the magistrate. The students were commended by the magistrate for
their excellent performance and their knowledge about the legal system.
In Round 3 we came up against Mount Annan High School. Our students were very nervous, because they
desperately wanted a win. Once again, our students were brilliant and determined to do their best. Our closing
statement was excellently written by our barristers and solicitor and well presented by one of the barristers. We felt
that there was no way that we could loose this case. We won the case as well as the Mock Trial against a very
competent Mount Annan High School team. Our first win! Once again the students were commended on their
excellent performance and they way they conducted themselves during the trial.
Now we await our next opponents in Round 4.
AICES FOOTBALL TRIALS
Earlier this term a number of Broughton students went on to represent the
College and the NASSA Association at the AICES Football Trials: Lucy
Chapman (Yr 9), Delfeayo Francis (Yr 10), Tayla Hallett (Yr 12), Alison

STAFF PROFILES
DEBRA NOAKES
Mrs Debra Noakes is a member of the Mathematics Faculty. She has also taught Science and
worked with Numeracy support in the College. She and Chris (Property Department) have been
married for 30 years and have two children: Peter (Year 12, 2002) and Melissa (Year 12, 2005),
who is married to Anthony (‘Chucky’ from Anglican Youthworks at Port Hacking). She came to
Broughton after many years teaching in Public schools.

friends. Mrs Noakes decided on teaching as a career when she was in Kindergarten and has never
really thought of any other vocation. Although she thrives on the excitement and challenges of teaching
Mathematics, her greatest joy in teaching at Broughton has been the privilege of sharing her love of Jesus with her
students and colleagues.

BROUGHTON DEBATERS SPEAK WELL
The Broughton Stage 3 Debating Team has an exciting start to the IPSHA debating
competition. On Friday 7 May, Broughton hosted its first debate against Danebank Anglican
School. The topic considered the benefits of 2010 compare to 1960. The students considered
the impact of technology, medical advancements, communication and environmental changes
on the world today. The first debate was close, with Danebank winning the debate only by a
few points and 1960 being declared better than 2010. The second debate, where Broughton
argued the negative side, was declared in Broughton’s favour and 1960’s once again winning
over 2010.
I would like to thank Danebank Anglican School for such a well argued debate and the wonderful experience it was
to meet students from another school. The students and I would also like to thank Mr Bryant who gave up his
Friday to help adjudicate the debate and who was amazed by the strong team that we have put together this year.
He gave special mention to Mikaela Zagari for her well developed arguments and the use of examples that were
incorporated into her speech.
I would also like to thank the Junior School debating team for the time that they put into preparing the debate.
They met two recesses each week for two weeks and also spent time preparing their speeches and arguments
during their own time. Their enthusiasm for debating and representing Broughton was evident on the day with the
quality in which their speeches were delivered.

GRANDPARENTS’ DAY – MONDAY 17 MAY
We are all looking forward to this special event. Grandparents will be treated to a range of activities between
9am and 12.30pm, culminating in a picnic lunch with their grandchildren. We look forward to this day with great
excitement. Grandparents will need to bring their own picnic lunch and possibly a picnic chair, limited seating will
be available. There will be an opportunity for grandparents to purchase a book for the library that will be
dedicated to their grandchild.
Any grandparent wishing to take their grandchild home after lunch will require a signed permission note
from the parents.
NEW CRUNCH N SIP PROPOSAL
The teachers in the Junior School would like to trial a designated fruit break each
morning. Good eating habits formed during childhood help children grow well and
protect them against disease in later life. We are keen for feedback from parents on
what they think of such a proposal.
The teachers have proposed that each morning close to 10am all students and teachers
will eat a piece of fruit or vegetable, to recharge and get them through until recess. On
Monday 17 May there will be a launch of the concept at the Parents and Friends
Association. We would appreciate the thoughts and opinions of parents before we commence this trial.
STEPS
Statewide Eyesight Preschoolers Screening will be held on 24 and 28 May. Preparatory children will have the
opportunity to have their vision checked. As part of the South –Western Area Health Services, Denise Holtz, a
school nurse, will visit Broughton and conduct the screening.

PLANNING AND DEADLINES
Planning is a great motivator for many students and helps overcome many of the fears and
anxieties that children and adolescents may have.
By learning to plan their time, their actions, their budget, their social life and their activities,
they get a sense of control instead of feeling overpowered by external sources.
Planning is another form of “chunking”. It is supposed to ease the feeling of being
overwhelmed. Many students want to do or have things but have no idea how to get them.
They do
not even know the right questions to ask. Simple things, like preparing for a test, something our students
experience over and over again during their school years, present time management and technical challenges to
them. Being unable to plan their homework makes it seem hard and may discourage them from even starting.
USING A CALENDAR
Encourage your children to use a calendar.
When they are young, buy them a themed calendar that they like and teach them to use it every day. Here are
some things your children can write in their calendars that will teach them planning.
1. Homework
Write homework due dates, but also teach them the importance of finishing their homework as soon as possible,
when information is still fresh in their mind.
BROUGHTON Newsletter - 8
2. Assignments
Write assignment due dates and plan backwards from them. Help them estimate how long it will take them to
complete each assignment and teach them to always have a "time buffer", just in case they need some more time.
One idea is setting a “family due date” for assignments a week before the official due date.
3. Special events
Birthdays, parties, trips, family gatherings
4. To do list
Bring sports gear to school, return library book, due dates of library books
5. Time table for out of school activities
Basketball practice 3.30 pm – 4.30 pm on Mondays, music lesson 6.00 pm – 6.30 pm on Wednesdays
6. Fun ideas for spare time
TIPS
The most important thing about using a calendar is not having it but using it. If you have a great calendar but
never use it, it has no value. Every day, make sure you help your child use their calendar. Go over their day and
teach them to write down all the things they can think of and clear some space in their mind. Every day, make sure
they look at the following day, week and month and plan what they need. The calendar can double up as a
monitoring and confidence boosting tool by checking completed assignments and even writing down impressions
and lessons learned.
Keep doing this until you are confident your child will use their calendar without your help.
FAMILY CALENDAR
Use a family calendar to be a role model and encourage family planning. A simple white board on a centrally
located door and some whiteboard markers will do the trick. Write down anything the family needs to take into
consideration when planning something new.
Encourage your children to add their activities in the family calendar to give them a sense of belonging and to
show their input is valued.
Encourage them to ask "who, what, when and where". Once they get into the habit of asking these questions, they
will be able to plan ahead better, because each question covers a different angle. For example, if they need to go
to music lesson, they would ask "Who will take me there?" or "How will I get there?", "What do I need to take with
me?", "When does it start?", "When should I practice?" and "Where are my notes?"
SUMMARY
1. Planning is a motivation technique that helps young people deal with their fear of the unknown
2. Use a calendar to teach planning
3. Use a family calendar to encourage collaboration and consideration between family members
4. Use the what, where, when, who and how question to practice planning ahead

WRITER OF THE WEEK
Our Writer of the Week is Alexandra Lovelock, of Year 8, for her imaginative poem on a leaf.
LEAF
Thin and fragile,
Long and torn.
The leaf lies withered
On the bent branch.
Twisting, writhing, pulling free
From the glue that holds its feet
Down to the silky ground.
Smelling fresh air,
Feeling the wind,
Seeing the offering grass
The taste of freedom is in the air.
Floating down like a silky feather
Graceful as a bird in flight
Sighing as it hits the ground
It’s time for sleep
His dreams are calling for him.
YR 11 2011 SUBJECT SELECTION EVENING

TURN EVERYDAY SHOPPING INTO FUNDRAISING DURING MAY AND JUNE
As outlined in last week’s newsletter, we are very excited to have been selected as one of thirty schools
participating in the 2010 My Macarthur Schools Challenge.
My Macarthur Schools Challenge 2010 is a program designed to encourage parents, students, teachers and friends
to shop at Macarthur Square in order to obtain dollars for our school for every dollar spent in centre. Every $1
spent at Macarthur Square will equal one school dollar during the challenge. At the end of the challenge, the ten
schools with the highest number of dollars per student will win a share in a prize pool of $40,000.
HOW IT WORKS
Parents, students, teachers and friends are rewarded for what they would normally do each week – shop at
Macarthur Square. To support our school, simply present your receipts to the Customer Service Desk on Level 1.
An interactive, instant tally screen will be on display so you know how our school is tracking throughout the entire
challenge. If you cannot always get down to the Customer Service Desk, make sure you keep your receipts and
drop them off in one of the boxes located in either the IRC, Junior School Office or Secondary Learning Centre.
We will then collate receipts and on a regular basis present them to the Customer Service Desk. Remember, to get
into the habit of asking for a receipt and keep them all (regardless of the quantum). Every dollar can make a
difference.
IMPORTANT DATES
My Macarthur Schools Challenge Start Date: Tuesday 11 May 2010, 9.00 am
My Macarthur Schools Challenge End Date: Sunday 20 June 2010, 5.00 pm
Bonus Double Up Days: Thursday 21 May, Saturday 5 June and Thursday 17 June.
On the above three bonus days, every $1 spent at Macarthur Square will be worth two school dollars. Bonus
double up day receipts will only be valid on the actual bonus day, so you need to make time to go to the
Customer Service Desk on these dates. Please note that if presented on a day outside the bonus day period, only
one point per dollar will be allocated
