So many great things have been happening at the College over the past fortnight as we head very fast into the last weeks of Term 2. I would like to thank all our staff, students and parent community who have organised and participated in so many different activities; here is just a snapshot of some of them.
Steve Biddulph Parent Evenings
Last week, the College had the privilege of hosting the one of Australia’s most famous parent educators, Steve Biddulph. Over 1,000 members of the College and wider community attended his talks over two evenings to hear very practical and realistic teaching on ‘raising boys’ and ‘raising girls’
The Technologies Department prepared incredibly delicious finger food that was served as guests arrived for the talks. Steve was particularly impressed with the community feel of the
evenings and the high calibre of the students who served on the evening.
Primary DiscoA great night of dancing was had by all the students who attended the ‘Ready, Set, Glow Disco’ last Friday night. Students really appreciated the winter darkness to display their well-lit, flashing accessories.
Thank you to the Parents and Friends’ Association for their organisation of this event. It was a fantastic evening!
Pre-K to Year 2 Athletics CarnivalFun was had by all the students at the Pre-K to Year 2 Athletics Carnivals held over a number of days last week. Throughout the morning, students completed four station activities in their House groups. Some of the highlights included sack, egg (or jellybean) and spoon races and hurdle races

parachute games and obstacle courses. A particular favourite among the students and the spectators was the rubber chicken throwing competition.
Thanks to Mr Worrall (Primary Sport Co-ordinator) and the Primary staff for organising such a fantastic event.
Year 10 into Year 11 Subject Selection Information Night and ExpoLast Tuesday night we held the Year 10 into Year 11 2019 Subject Selection Information Night and Expo. This was the first time the Information Night and the Expo had been combined and the overall feedback from families has been extremely positive. Students and their families had an opportunity to find out more specific information about the HSC and IB programs offered in Year 11 and 12 as they moved through the subject Expo and listened to the presentations by staff. A particular highlight of the evening was the advice and experiences shared by some of the current Year 11 students.
Choosing subjects and thinking about the final years of school education can be daunting. During the evening, families were encouraged to:
• Gather as much information as possible in the time available. Consider a range of perspectives and sources with an open mind. Refer back to the individual career profiles completed in Term 1.
• Where possible, take your time. Devote some time over the week ahead and over the long weekend to sit down and talk through the information gathered.
• Consider the counsel of teachers, friends and family. There is a wealth of experiences and expertise available at the College and within family and social networks. Make a time to see Mr Jones our Careers Advisor.
• Commit your decision to prayer and allow God to guide you.
2018 College Musical “Pirates of Penzance”Excitement is building as Staff and students are completing final rehearsals and preparations for the 2018 College Musical “Pirates of Penzance”. It promises to be another outstanding production and we are looking forward to opening night on Friday 15 June. Tickets are selling fast so I would encourage families to book and purchase tickets via the Try Booking Link available on the College website to avoid disappointment. Further information is available later in the bulletin. www.penrith.nsw.edu.au/event/pirates-of-penzance
2018/2019 College Leadership Selection ProcessThe 2018/2019 College Student Leadership Selection Process is well underway with over 40 applications received from students in Year 11 interested in serving the College as Captains, Vice Captains, Prefects and House Captains. All students are commended on the quality of their applications and their presentation during the interview process.
The 2018/2019 College Student Leadership Team will be announced at the end of Term 2.
2019 College DatesThe 2019 College dates have been finalised and are available at the end of The Vine as well as on the College website via the parent portal located on the top right-hand corner of the webpage. We trust this will assist families with their planning for the year ahead.
Jump Rope for HeartThe playground has been filled with the sounds of excited Primary students this morning as they eagerly participate in ‘Jump Rope for Heart’. Heart disease continues to be Australia’s biggest killer so the College is pleased to be part of this important fundraising initiative. As of Friday morning, the students have raised over $11,500 in sponsorship. We look forward to sharing the final tally in the next edition of the Vine.
We trust you enjoy a safe and relaxing long weekend with your families.
More and more research is telling us that students who learn social and emotional skills are more likely to be physically healthier, perform better at school and report higher satisfaction with their life. So exactly what is social and emotional learning?
Social and emotional learning encompasses developing the knowledge and skills to understand and manage emotions, look forward to the future with hope, make wise decisions, relate positively to others and understand how to bounce back from challenges.
At the College, we take social and emotional learning seriously, desiring to not only give our students an academic education but an education which encompasses the range of skills and abilities necessary to be a productive, responsible, inclusive and informed global citizen.
Skills such as recognising and naming emotions, making wise and considered choices for the good of themselves and others and using words well are taught through activities such as role playing playground situations and learning to use a decision making tree to solve problems - both learning tasks in Positive Education classes. In Pre K – Year 4 classrooms, teachers label emotions overtly to give students words for their feelings.
Students are also taught how to be inclusive in both attitude and behaviour, to accept that failing is part of the learning process and given skills to resolve conflicts peacefully are taught overtly and modelled by teachers.
Learning is always more effective when reinforced at home. So what can parents and carers do to help their children develop these sorts of skills?
Here are some suggestions:
• Touch base regularly with your child to keep the lines of communication open.
• Encourage creative problem solving by asking questions such as “What do you think might happen if you did that?” or “What could you to do help in that situation?”
• Give your children age appropriate choices. Maybe that’s a choice such as “It’s bedtime now, would you like your Star Wars pyjamas or your Batman pyjamas?” or maybe it’s allowing them to decide whether or not to go to the party the weekend before exams.
• Trust that your children can handle lots of situations and teach them where and when to get help when they need it.
In a world where loneliness and isolation are growing issues, social and emotional learning enables students to become adults who know and value themselves, and who know how to engage positively in society and work for the good of themselves and others. That’s world changing!
Over fifty Penrith Anglican College students, from Years 5-10, represented the College over six days during May at both the Regional da Vinci and NSW da Vinci Decathlons.
The Regional da Vinci Decathlon was hosted by The Illawarra Grammar School and the three events were held at two venues: Illawarra Christian School and TIGS. The NSW da Vinci Decathlon was hosted by Knox Grammar School. Students from Independent, Catholic and state schools attended the event.
The theme of this year’s Regional Decathlon was ‘Memories’ and NSW Decathlon’s theme was ‘The Unexpected’. Students worked in groups of eight to complete ten disciplines during the course of each day. The disciplines covered English, Ideation, Art & Poetry, Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Cartography, Creative Producers, Code Breaking and General Knowledge. Students’ critical and creative thinking skills were used to answer diverse, intriguing questions and problems in the ten papers.
‘We don’t ever want to do cartography again!’ voices called out as Year 5 and 6 students, happy and tired, boarded the bus after the Regional da Vinci Decathlon. For the rest of the trip, the bus was filled with elated scheming as the sixteen students worked out how to surprise their parents with the spoils of their day; a Year 6 Championship trophy, and multiple certificates across year 5 and 6. Year 5 placed second in General Knowledge and third in Code Breakers. Year 6 placed second in Art and Poetry, second in Creative Producers, third in Maths and third in General Knowledge. Year 6 came away as the overall winners of our Region! Both teams
went into the day curious and interested, prepared to persevere, be challenged and have a lot of fun. And they did!
Thursday 24 May, 2018 saw 2 teams from Year 5 and 6 students attend Knox Grammar in Wahroonga for the Da Vinci NSW Division. A mixture of early morning and nervousness made for a very quiet trip up. The students were two of about 180 teams busily working all day answering ten problem solving, open ended activities. Both groups worked hard, produced some great responses and were fine ambassadors for our school. On the way back in the bus, excitement ruled and although their brains were exhausted, they still had the energy to play word games with each other, sharing laughter the whole way home.
Over 1600 students participated at the NSW da Vinci Decathlon each day. The Year 10 Regional da Vinci team placed third in Cartography, third in Codebreaking, second in Ideation and placed third overall. The Year 9 Regional da Vinci team placed third in Science and were awarded the most creative tablecloth design in the more informal part of the day. The Year 8 team were awarded second place in Art & Poetry at NSW da Vinci.
Our students represented the College admirably – being respectful, courteous, good listeners, active participants and co-operative team members. It was a pleasure to be able to take our teams to this event as one of the many events that come under the umbrella of ‘Enrichment’ here at the College.

The Vine - Issue No 8, 2018
The weather was chilly on Wednesday 30 May and Friday 1 June for the Pre K - Year 2 Athletics Carnivals this year.
All classes enjoyed teaming up in their house colours for busy rotational activities ranging from an adventurous obstacle course, a chicken and thong throw, a huge parachute full of fun and the traditional races.
It was delightful to watch these little ones use their skills to run, participate in the jelly bean and spoon race, and jump in the sack race. It was a pleasure to see so many parents and caregivers join us for the morning where we could share recess with them before finishing up with a hurdles race and a fun race for the parents.
They were really wonderful days and I am sure everyone who was involved had a lovely time.

This term Year 1 has been learning about food materials that change in different conditions. 1 Black students have explored and investigated changes in foods including spaghetti, chocolate and popcorn. We have been taste testing along the way-YUM!
This week we learnt about popcorn and how heating the popcorn kernel causes it to pop and explode! The students learnt that it's the water content heated in the kernel that causes it to pop. The kernel started out small, hard and
yellow and then burst into a white, fluffy, soft piece of popcorn. The thrill was watching it heat in the popcorn machine and then pop out into the container; there was pop corn flying everywhere! We also learnt that popcorn cannot be reversed back to its original state.
The next best part of the experiment of course was eating it!!
Jody BoldenPrimary Teacher
Mark-“I think the kernel will explode into little pieces and then it creates more popcorn.”
Grace-“I think the little white thing on kernel makes the popcorn go up!”
Amos-“I think the popcorn will pop and the white stuff will pop out.”
Kara-“I think the kernel will get bigger and bigger and explode into popcorn!”
Max-“I think the popcorn kernel will crack and pop.”
Chloe-“I think the popcorn kernel will turn white.”
Leo-“I think the kernel will go into the actual popcorn.”
Nimrat-“I think the kernel will turn into popcorn.”
Jayden- “I think that when you put the popcorn into the heat it will turn into popcorn.”
It’s going to be another great show so don’t miss out.
CONCERT BAND
The Concert Band held a “PPP” on Friday 1 June. Practice, Pizza, Performance saw the band undertake a long rehearsal (4-5.45pm), partake in a pizza dinner together, and then perform for an audience of parents and friends. The Recital Room was full and the audience enjoyed a program which included a variety of music from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite” to “The Greatest Showman”. The Band is to be congratulated for a fine, musical performance and to its commitment to rehearsals every Friday afternoon.
Please contact me for further information about music lessons or co-curricular activities.
The Pirates are coming and the bumbling police need to come to the rescue. We talk to five of our six students who are playing the role of the Police in our upcoming production The Pirates of Penzance; Liam Wadwell (Y11), Jared Lewis (Y12), Callum Payer (Y12), Daniel Jones (Y12), Eli Lackey (Y8) and Hamish Glassock Warren (Y12). on why playing the role of the police and being part of the musical has been such a rewarding and enjoyable experience, despite some of them never performing on stage before.
Have you performed in a musical or stage production before? If not what stopped you before
Liam: In 2014 I was a part of the musical with the school and for the past 3 years now I’ve been doing drama, which consists of a lot of performing in front of audiences. Jared: I have not previously been part of any musicals or stage productions because I didn’t think myself much of a performer and enjoyed other parts of the musical such as helping backstage.Hamish: No, I haven’t performed in anything like this before, the closest thing I got to being in a musical was being part of the stage crew last year. I haven’t done it before because, I wasn’t ever given the opportunity or I’ve had other commitments such as sport, so I didn’t have the time.Eli: Yes I have, I was in Mary Poppins.Callum: No, this is my first production. I have enjoyed helping backstage and front of house in previous years however, due to my incredible lack of singing and dancing talent.
What have you enjoyed about being part of Pirates of Penzance?
Liam: I have enjoyed the countless hours of practicing with great people.Jared: I have enjoyed being part of the production as it was a time to be with a lot of great people performing and not having to worry about being judged or concerned when it doesn’t go perfectly.Hamish: I’ve enjoyed learning new things and doing things that I never have the opportunity to do, like singing and dancing. I’ve also enjoyed mingling with the kids in the younger years and going through the process with my good mates.Eli: It leaves a lot of room for improvising and it is such a fun role to play.Callum: I have really enjoyed getting to know different people and stepping outside of my comfort zone, I have enjoyed helping different productions backstage and front of house and its interesting seeing what goes on behind the scenes to make a school production come together.
You all play the role of the bumbling constabulary in this production, what do you like best about this role?
Liam: That we were able to workshop the dances ourselves, inserting the most ridiculous things we could do. Because of the clumsy and awkward nature of our characters most of the things we thought up worked so well.Jared: I really enjoy the fact that as being part of the constabulary we as a group are able to relax a bit more and don’t have to act because we are very similar to these characters.Hamish: I like the fact that our characters are not very serious and that we can be ourselves on stage. I also like the fact that we can just have fun and that we have contributed to much of the dance because we are bumbling characters.Callum: There is very little acting required, much of our dance was just us mucking around and laughing then Mrs Crawford figuring out how to make it seem more organised.

What would you say to others to encourage them to be part of the next production?
Liam: I would highly recommend it to anyone. I believe everyone should perform on stage in some measure and the production is an amazing opportunity to do it with amazing people. Jared: I would say to anyone that it is a great opportunity to be able to try something maybe slightly different, even if you think you’re not a performer it’s a great opportunity.Eli: You will build friendships that will last for years and you will meet new friends that you wouldn’t meet outside of the musical.Callum: I would say to not write it off until you’ve given it a go, it doesn’t matter what your previous experience you’ll be able to find something that you can do.What was the audition process like? Liam: The audition was a really pleasant experience. I had to sing The Pirate King and simple some scales. Then I acted out a small scene with Miss Tucker.Jared: The audition process involved receiving the music to sing and then coming to audition with Mrs Hext and Miss Tucker. It was a really relaxed audition and we were allowed to do it as a group as we weren’t too confident as individualsHamish: The audition process was very relaxed. The teachers were accepting of our lack of musical experience so they were very patient with us and this has continued into the rehearsals.Eli: It is the most light-hearted auditions ever. Callum: For me, the audition process was very fun.
Pirates of Penzance opens on Friday 15 June at 7.30pm with performances on Saturday 16 June, 1.30pm and 7.30pm; Friday 22 June, 7.30pm and Saturday 23 June, 7.30pm in the Lighthouse Theatre at Penrith Anglican College. Book tickets at www.penrith.nsw.edu.au/event/pirates-of-penzance/
National Simultaneous Storytime was held on Wednesday 23 May across Australia and New Zealand. Over a million attendees from over 8000 locations simultaneously read Hickory Dickory Dash by Tony Wilson at 11am EST. At Penrith Anglican College, our students and teachers from Pre-K to Year 2 read along with Jay Laga’aia through a video. Classes then participated in activities such as creating finger puppets from the story and telling the time challenges. It was the first time the College participated as a whole and it was a hit!
