This was followed in 2010 by the My School website which enabled like schools to be compared. My School has been controversial since NAPLAN aimed to assess and improve student achievement rather than compare schools. Whatever the merits or otherwise of this debate it is worth noting that My School could have been called Our School, but the choice of the former reflects a shift away from the community basis of schooling towards the individual consumer of education. Previously these tests were restricted to Years 3, 5 and 7 and conducted by the States. The availability of national comparative data has re-awakened the hoary old debate about how reading should be taught in Australian primary schools and whether a national approach is called for. Back in 2006 then education minister Brendan Nelson launched an inquiry into reading instruction in Australia’s primary schools. The inquiry was responding to twenty-six leading educators who wrote to Dr Nelson arguing that the ‘whole language’ approach to teaching reading be abandoned and replaced by ‘phonics’, a more traditional means of reading instruction. Phonics concentrates on the sound symbol relationship starting with the sounds of individual letters, then ‘chunking’ these sounds together to form words and then to reading sentences. ‘Whole language’ relies on meaning or context; supporters of this approach say that if you immerse a child in a rich language environment they will not necessarily develop the skills of reading. Children are taught to read ‘whole’ sentences before they break them down into their components of words and letters. When politicians join the debate about which is the best way to teach reading (grammar and history are also favourites) you can be sure there will be a cultural skirmish, a bun-fight between good-old phonics in one corner, taught by severe ladies in tartan skirts, and whole language exponents in the other, those warmed-over seventies socialists whose ponchos still get an airing. So, who is right, or should that read wright? Clearly, all students need to be taught the skills of reading noting that some children need almost no reading tuition at all, whereas others need a great deal. Therefore, what are the skills we should teach? Our language has three cueing systems; sound (phonics), sight (visual or graphic) and meaning (context). It is self-evident that all three sets of skills should be taught. Some children learn to read well because they have highly-developed auditory abilities, others because they are visual learners, and others learn to read simply by predicting from the context of the text. So by different pathways most of the kids get there, and some get there by all three. But the important point is that all of these skills should be taught explicitly; children need to learn the skills that good readers use, and good readers use all three. The problem for whole language people is the lack of explicitness in their approach; they assume that children learn to read by osmosis, which is true for some but not all, especially children from disadvantaged backgrounds. They say if you immerse a child in a ‘language-rich’ environ- ment they will learn to read by imitation in the same way we learn to speak. Because we learn to speak without being taught they believe the same applies to reading. But they have some useful things to say about meaning and the importance of deep structure in the reading process. They also understand the value of oral language to a child’s overall language development. The phonics people teach very explicitly but rely too much on this. Phonenic awareness is essential, but it can be at the expense of the visual and contextual skills that children need. Phonics also has limitations because English is not a very phonetic language and the forty-four sounds children need to learn do not always correspond to the word they are trying to decode. English also has hard and soft consonants so, for example, should ‘George’ and ‘garage’ have the same initial sound? All of the excep- tions to the letter-sound correspondence make things confusing. The other criticism of a dependence on phonics is that children develop good ‘word attack’ skills and can read fluently, but without comprehension. The whole language people decry this as ‘barking at print’. Clearly phonics is essential, especially in Kindergarten and Year One, but once children learn the sounds of language, their reliance on phonics decreases. The aim of reading is meaning and fluency, and there are three ways to get there; each should be taught, explicitly and contextually. This is what good reading programs do and this is why we should place importance on oral language in the pre-school and phonemic awareness in Kinder- garten and Year One. Early identification of children at risk with support programs - phonic, visual or contextual - to teach the strategies that good readers use, are also essential. Teaching all children to read well is a resource intensive business but one well worth it. However, for Wayne Swan and his last budget, the cost of eliminating literacy failure would have been a fiscal nightmare. In the past the political alternative has been to castigate the whole language rabble and pray at the temple of phonics. It’s simply been more affordable. A national program of early intervention, when children are 5 or 6, might do much more to reverse literacy failure than waiting to be advised that your nine-year-old has not reached the national benchmark. Measuring a child’s height never made them grow taller. NAPLAN was intended as an assessment for learning but My School and intense media interest has led to NAPLAN becoming an assessment of learning and a doubtful means of comparing one school against another. The ‘rank, rate, sort and humiliate’ mind set ignores the fact that there are much greater variations in student achievement within schools rather than between them. Chris Duncan

Lindisfarne Ski Trip43 keen students and 5 equally keen teachers left at 4:00pm on Saturday July 13 for the long bus ride to Jindabyne. We reached the snow ready for an afternoon ski on Sunday. The following days consisted of an early 6:00am wake up call, 30 minute bus trip to the snow, a two-hour lesson and the rest of the day skiing and boarding. We experienced inclement weather and the poorest snow conditions since we have been organising this trip. That aside everyone made the most of what was on offer. Thanks to the staff (Mrs Wright, Mr Fydler, Mr Robins, Ms Spring, Mr Leach) and the students involved in making the trip as enjoyable and memorable for all. Unfortunately the snow started falling the evening we left. Fingers crossed for a better season next year.
Noelene Wright, Assistant Principal - Head of Secondary
From the ChapelAn Epistle from Bellarmine University, KentuckyOver the last two and a half weeks I have been immersed in the life, work and writings of Thomas Merton, American Trappist monk who died tragically in 1968 aged 52. You may ask the question why and it would be a sensible one. To discover what made him the acclaimed author of over 60 books; teacher and spiritual director of young men in the monastery; a collaborator with over 2,000 correspondents, producing over 21,000 pieces of correspondence; rapacious reader of the classics, the religious masters and contemporary literature; a social activist involved in the 1960’s ferment of race, nuclear weapons, Vietnam war and technology; and someone who fitted all this in between 7 periods of prayer, time for private prayer and the work-a-day life of a Trappist monk in an economically viable monastery.The answer? He was an innocent and playful learner and teacher!Innocent in that he never thought he knew the answers. There was always more to learn, more to know, more people to hear from, more inspiration to gather. He was like a small child who simply soaks up the world around them, making sense of it as they grow and become more and more engaged with the world. A cursory scan across his books will show that he assimilated ideas in such a way that he never became static. He was always becoming. Playful in that his sense of humour was never far from the surface. He played with ideas, engaged with people in a way that brought out their ideas and thoughts and allowed space for others to become in the way he was. Listening to his lectures one discovers an openness, warmth, depth and willingness to listen, his audience responds to with laughter, questions and discussion. His classroom was alive with playfulness. Learner, because that was his vocation. Yes he was a monk, but the task of a monk is to be open to God and the creativity alive in the world. His journals, working notebooks and correspon-dence reveal a man on the search for something he hadn’t seen or heard before. He epitomises the life-long learner.Teacher, because in learning, he taught. Teaching wasn’t a skill or method for him. It was the natural outcome of a life lived in a state of perpetual learning. And he still teaches today in that his life and works have inspired over 300 doctorate and masters theses, the International Thomas Merton Society of scholars and ever-growing corpus of books using his thought to expound everything from ecology to solitude to Zen! As parents and teachers are we, like Thomas Merton, innocent, playful, learners or teachers? And if not, why not?

Michele Chandler, Assistant Principal - Head of Primary The Great Book SwapA reminder that on Friday 2 August, the Sunshine Avenue Campus will be holding its first Great Book Swap as part of the celebrations for National Literacy and Numeracy Week. All students from P-4 will be able to participate in this exciting day. The Great Book Swap will help raise money to provide vital funds for children in remote Indig-enous communities whilst promoting a love of literature at Lindis-farne. All students are asked to bring in a pre-loved book from home to donate to the book swap. A big thank you to those who have already brought in wonderful book donations. The books are being collected in classrooms and at the Sunshine Avenue Campus office. On the Great Book Swap Day students are asked to donate a gold
coin and will be able to choose a pre-loved book of their choice to take home. All funds raised will be donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to provide books and literacy resources. It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist your child in choos-ing a book from home that they can bear to part with and bring it in to school. We are currently collecting books for the swap so books can be sent in between now and the day. We are looking forward to this new celebration and thank you all in advance for being a part of it.

Mathematics Faculty Year 8 Extension MathematicsDuring Term 2, students were selected from each of the four Year 8 Mathematics classes to compete in the Year 8 Mathematics Exten-sion Activities Competition. Students participated in this competition as members of a team once a fortnight over the term. The activities included a Maths Olympiad set of questions completed as a team, a set of Brainteaser questions done as individuals and three Logic puzzles again completed as a team. Students who participated for all or part of the competition included Saya Tomizawa, Natalie Street, Eden Tokatly, Talia Green, Joel Bartosch, Brandon Robinson, Peter Smart and Taj Barlow (from Mr Kitchen's class); Sarah Biggs, Aponi Langsford-Mann, Lawrence Miles-Mwangangi, Amy Lau, Lily Chilcott and Liz Rudland (from Mr Smith's class); Mana Mitchell, Jade Clarke, Maddie Bosse, Brittany Denehy and Sian Parsons (from Mr Wright's class); Shania Myers, Jayden Akehurst, Megan Stedman, Lewis Smith, Brody Pullinger and Tom Courtney (from Mr Kester's class). All students are to be commended on the positive and keen manner in which they approached these activities. Mem-bers of the winning team for the competition were Lewis Smith, Brody Pullinger and Tom Courtney.

The Great Book Swap will help raise money to provide vital funds for children in remote Indig-enous communities whilst promoting a love of literature at Lindis-farne. All students are asked to bring in a pre-loved book from home to donate to the book swap. A big thank you to those who have already brought in wonderful book donations. The books are being collected in classrooms and at the Sunshine Avenue Campus office. On the Great Book Swap Day students are asked to donate a gold
coin and will be able to choose a pre-loved book of their choice to take home. All funds raised will be donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to provide books and literacy resources. It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist your child in choos-ing a book from home that they can bear to part with and bring it in to school. We are currently collecting books for the swap so books can be sent in between now and the day. We are looking forward to this new celebration and thank you all in advance for being a part of it.

Lindisfarne Ski Trip43 keen students and 5 equally keen teachers left at 4:00pm on Saturday July 13 for the long bus ride to Jindabyne. We reached the snow ready for an afternoon ski on Sunday. The following days consisted of an early 6:00am wake up call, 30 minute bus trip to the snow, a two-hour lesson and the rest of the day skiing and boarding. We experienced inclement weather and the poorest snow conditions since we have been organising this trip. That aside everyone made the most of what was on offer. Thanks to the staff (Mrs Wright, Mr Fydler, Mr Robins, Ms Spring, Mr Leach) and the students involved in making the trip as enjoyable and memorable for all. Unfortunately the snow started falling the evening we left. Fingers crossed for a better season next year.
