Dear Parents/Caregivers
Scotts Head Public School (SHPS) is involved with and
invested in the development of International Relations
between Australia and Indonesia. As the one and only
Bilingual Indonesian School in New South Wales, part of our
mission statement is to further people to people relations
and intercultural understanding.
By participating in a day like we had on Friday we:
build meaningful relationships with future educators
from Indonesia
internationalise education in our school
support Indonesian language teaching, learning
and develop intercultural understanding
connect our school to a broader network in the
region.
Representatives from the Indonesian Embassy, all the way
from Canberra and representatives from the State language
team were in attendance at the school during the afternoon.
Performances provided by our amazing students from SHPS
were well polished with perfect singing and dancing.
Congratulations to the students that performed during the
day:
Kelas 3/4/5 Abang Tukang Bakso
Kelas 3/4/5 Randai Performance
Kelas 3-6 Tarian Aceh
Kelas 3/4/5 Laskar Pelangi
Kelas 1/2 Angklung & Tanah Airku
On the night, “Asyik – Indonesia Night” (pronounced ah-
sheek), was a celebration of Indonesian culture happening
exclusively in Scotts Head. High quality entertainment acts
were flown in direct from Brisbane and Melbourne and
provided us with the opportunity to witness engaging
performances often only found in large International
festivals. On the night, delicious Indonesian food was
available for your enjoyment.
The following people were in attendance: the Mayor Rhonda
Hoban, Deputy Mayor John Wilson, Erica Lyne Principal
Macksville HS and the Attaché from the Indonesian
Embassy, Pak Imran Hanafi and Vice Attaché Ibu Merlita.
Thanks to Pak Mur, Bu Bibi, Pak Chris and Pak Karl who
worked tirelessly to get us all ready for the night. Thanks to
all the staff that came along and helped out. Thanks to all
the families and community that came on Friday night and
especially to all the students who performed. It certainly was
a night we will all remember.
Scotts Head is quickly becoming a centre of Indonesian
language and culture education and we want to give our
whole community a big shout of gratitude as we are all part
of its success and growth.
Thanks, yaarri yaraang, terima kasih.

We fall into two broad groups on the subject of climate change.
Half the people are overwhelmed by the dire predictions of its
effects and can see no solutions. Their response is to deny it is
happening. The other half of us want to do something to lessen
the effects of climate change but don’t really know what to do.
The documentary 2040 provides solutions. Damon Gameau, the
maker of That Sugar Film, travelled the world searching for
solutions that are being tried now, solutions that will be widely
used in 2040.
2040 is a truly inspirational film. It will be shown in Scotts Head.
When: Friday 20 September
Where: LLL Centre at the Scotts Head Public School
Time: 7-8.30 pm showing time followed by discussion
and coffee/tea
Cost: Gold coin donation
Organiser: Michael Blockey
