PCACS is an allergy aware
School
A school of The Anglican Schools
Commission (Inc.)
This year, the 2016 Junior School Lapathon has raised $18,000 for the ongoing
support of a small Christian school in Bali, Sekolah Bintang Timur (Morning Star
School), which is providing an essential basic education for local children from
a variety of religious backgrounds. Some families can afford the $70 per month fees; some cannot.
Some can afford to buy the school uniform, or parts of it; some cannot. The availability of paper,
pencils and reading books are dependent on the generosity of ordinary folk like us. But everyone
smiles and laughs, works hard and learns hard with any resources that come to hand, and the
resulting school community is buoyant, supportive, optimistic, future focused and growing steadily.
It is rapidly becoming the school of choice in the area.
The genuine warmth and camaraderie of the PCACS Founders’ Day Lapathon was astonishing.
Students, teachers, mums, dads, grandparents, friends, locals, siblings—you name it, they were all
there on the oval. And collectively, the benefit should not only be seen in financial terms; it was a
bonding together of our entire community, focused on a deliberate and selfless goal. The inner
heart of our community grew exponentially that afternoon, and in equal measure to the power of
our collective giving.
Already the Principal of Bintang Timur School, Ibu
Susan, is in negotiation with her neighbours in the
hope of securing a twenty year lease on the land
adjacent to the school. This will provide the play
space necessary for the school to be awarded
Registration recognition by the Indonesian
Government. I heard this week from Ibu Susan
that the cost of the lease will be in the region of
$18,000. She had no idea how much PCACS had
raised, so how close is that!
In many countries, the opportunities for education are slim. The majority of children who are lucky
enough to graduate from junior school have no means of going further; completing the junior school
years is seen as a huge privilege and opportunity for better future employment. It is the same in
Bali, though opportunities for schooling are improving year by year. Some children from Bintang
Timur School will go on to High School, but it is not guaranteed for all of them. However, the efforts
of PCACS will go a long way towards giving this little community a better start in life than might
otherwise have been afforded.
It is critical that our School community continues to create a culture of service and contribution in
order to enlarge our awareness of, and connectedness to, the world beyond the School gates.
Thank you for your generous giving.

Creating Resilient Kids
It would be great if we could give our children a smooth journey through life, but
unfortunately setbacks are an inevitable part of growing up and being an adult. The good
news is that by helping your child to be optimistic when facing challenges, you can boost
their confidence, enhance their ability to learn from challenges, and develop a willingness
to have another go.
Being Optimistic is about seeing challenges as:
• Limited. Your child may not be good at one particular thing, but what other things they are good at?
• Changeable. Your child may not have succeeded this time, but what are some of the things they could do
to improve their chances of success next time? Focus on your child’s efforts and what they can do, not
their character.
• Controllable. Help your child think realistically about their part in what has happened. Too much blame
can result in guilt and shame. You can help your child learn how much responsibility to accept and what
changes they need to make to achieve a positive outcome next time.
Can you really have an impact?
All children benefit from learning and practising skills with supportive adults in caring environments. Parents
still have a lot of influence over their children in early adolescence, and their support and encouragement can
have an important impact on the development of resilience. As I mentioned in the last newsletter, this term
our Year 8 students have commenced working through the Aussie Optimism programme, which includes
information on building your child’s self-esteem, managing conflict, planning for success, thinking
optimistically, coping with peer pressure, and preparing for the increased workload and expectations of upper
Senior School. Working through the programme with your child will give you both the opportunity to develop
and practice skills to successfully manage the challenges ahead as a family.
God bless.

Scholastic Book Fair
The 2016 Scholastic Book Fair has come and gone , and it was great to see
the excitement that books still have for so many children!
Thank you to all who supported this event, and my special thanks to Mrs
Natascha Clark, who organised for a group of Senior School students to
help guide Clifford the Dog and Geronimo Stilton around during their
visits with our Junior School students. Thanks also to Mr James Morris,
Mr Ross Griffin and Mrs Claire Trainor for organising selected Year 6
students to assist with the Book Fair before School, at lunch times, and
after School—all those who helped were wonderful in their enthusiasm.
This year the Book Fair sold books to the value of $10,458.25, which will
give the School Library a commission of $3,000 to purchase library books
and resources.
The Great Book Swap
In Week 6 of Term 3 the School will be hosting the Great Book Swap. Students are being encouraged to look
around at home, and to bring to School a couple of their preloved, good condition books that they would like to
donate. These books can be brought to the School Library or give to the student’s classroom teacher.
On Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 August,
students from Years 3 to 12 will have the
opportunity to come to the Upper Library at lunch
time or after School to purchase these books. The
parents of Kindergarten to Year 2 students are
invited to come to the Upper Library in the
afternoons between 3.15pm and 4.00pm. Books
may be purchased for $1 per book.
All money raised from this event will be donated
to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to enable
them to purchase reading material for children in
remote communities around Australia. Last year,
the School was able to donate $510 to this worthy
cause. This is a great way to promote literacy to
our own students, while also assisting children in
remote communities, so I encourage everyone to
get involved.
Library Busy Bee
After a very successful Scholastic Book Fair, the School has been able to purchase more books for the Library.
On Wednesday 31 August we will be running a Busy Bee to cover these new books, and we would love your help
if you can spare the time. The Busy Bee will run from 8.30am until 10.30am, with morning tea provided, and
participants will be able to say they were among the first to see and handle our newest acquisitions.

Staff Profile
From the Acting Principal (Continued)
In each edition of our newsletter we profile a
staff member. This week we introduce
Mrs Lucy Roberts, our Music Coordinator.
After emigrating from the UK with my family in
1998, I started my Australian schooling as a
student at Assumption Catholic Primary School,
Mandurah. I will always remember the night we
flew out from Heathrow Airport, my sister and I
played our cellos at our final school orchestra
concert within hours of take-off! I can’t imagine
the stress my parents must have been under, but I
was, and still am, very lucky to have such a
supportive family who, to this day, do not know
where I get my musical spark from.
During my high school years at Mandurah Catholic
College, I was always auditioning and performing
in school productions. I sang in the school choir,
and played in the school concert band. I never
really knew what I wanted to do for a career, I just
knew that it had to involve music!
Throughout university, I paid my way as a clarinet
and saxophone tutor, teaching at several local
schools, including here at Peter Carnley Anglican
Community School. I developed the Primary Band
Programme at Mandurah Catholic College, where I
was the director of the Peel Region Combined
Catholic School Band. It was during this time that
I finally realised what I wanted to do with my
life—become a Music Teacher! After a quick
change in university degrees to major in a
Bachelor of Music Education, in 2010 I was offered
my first full time teaching position as the Junior
Music Teacher here at PCACS.
My goal at Peter Carnley Anglican Community
School has always been to ensure that our
students are exposed to, and given every
opportunity to immerse themselves in Music. It is
a passion of mine to teach instrumental music and
direct choirs and bands. I am truly blessed and
Mrs Lucy Roberts
extremely proud to say that I belong to a school
that can offer such a variety of instruments and
ensembles to our students as part of our Music
Tuition Programme and Music Co Curricular
Programme.
Outside of PCACS, I have played in local
community bands, and always involve myself in
community choral concerts, especially around
Christmas time. I have an incredible love for my
French Bulldog, Elvis, and my staffy, Banjo—both
very appropriate names for the pets of a music
teacher! Not to forget my husband, who puts up
with the multiple array of instruments that I bring
home. My latest addition to the music room is a
set of bagpipes, so it’s no wonder the house next
door is up for sale ...
Mrs Lucy Roberts

P&F News
From the Acting Principal (Continued)
Sports Carnival Canteens
Friday 19 August is the Senior School Sports Carnival and your P&F has been asked by
the School to run the canteen at Wellard Oval Pavilion for all participants and
spectators, as has been the case in previous years.
So, we are looking for donations of food—muffins, cupcakes, biscuits and the like—
that can be sold to students and spectators.
Even more importantly (because I can buy muffins and cakes, but I can’t buy
volunteers!) we need the assistance of around 12 parents, who are willing to donate
their time to assist with servicing students, restocking drinks, and various set up tasks. You don’t need to
have children in Senior School to help out at this Carnival—this request goes out to the entire parent
population.
Your time contribution can be as little or as long as you
would like (spend an hour, or spend all day, it’s really up
to you) but by getting at least 12 volunteers it means
that the same people who volunteer every year will be
spared having to be there all day, which is ideal as we
want to avoid volunteer burn out wherever possible.
Sorry, but if you have younger siblings on hand, the
canteen is probably not the best place for them to be, if
only from a health and safety perspective.
The canteen will run from 8.00am to around 2.30pm,
and we need to have four volunteers on hand at any one
time.
Donating items for sale couldn’t be simpler. Just drop them off at the Wellard Oval Pavilion before 8.30am
on the day of the Carnival.
Volunteering your time is even easier, and it also means that you don’t have to bake anything. Simply send
me an email (to pcacspf@gmail.com) or text me on 0408921616 and advise the time you would like to help
out.
One important thing to remember when volunteering at the School—make sure you have read the School
Volunteering Policy, and have returned a signed copy of the Volunteer Form. You can download a copy of
the policy from the School’s website, and remember, you only need to submit the form once.
P&F Quiz Night
Yes, it’s making a comeback! Due to popular demand, the Annual P&F Quiz Night will make a return in Term
4 of this year, after a three year absence. More details will be coming home soon, but for now pencil in the
evening of Friday 4 November as a night of fun, laughter, and a few brain teasers, some of which just might
be of a musical nature.
Monthly P&F Meeting
The next monthly P&F meeting will be held on Wednesday 24 August at 6.30pm. Everyone is welcome. The
meetings are pretty informal, and we usually sample a wine or two in good company. This month we have a
very special guest joining us, with Megan Blackman, the President of John Wollaston Anglican Community
School’s P&F coming along to share some idea sand experiences with us. I would love to have a good turn
out to show the old hands at JWACS how awesome our parents support here at PCACS is, so if you can make
it along, please do.
The meeting will be in the Administration Building Seminar Room. Just turn up, there’s no need to sign in.
Questions or Suggestions?
If you have any questions about anything the P&F does, please contact us at pcacspf@gmail.com.

National
Week
This year we are embracing the ‘T’ in STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as we focus on
autonomous technology as part of National Science Week,
which runs from 13 to 21 August.
This theme will centre on the real world applications of
autonomous technologies in areas including agriculture,
mining, manufacturing, and medicine, as well as space and
deep sea exploration. Of course, we will also look at how this
technology has transformed our day to day lives, from robot
vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers, to automated pool
cleaners.
To celebrate National Science Week here at PCACS, we will be
‘quizzing’ our way through Week 5. On Monday, all Tutor
Groups will compete in a Science quiz, with the group that
submits the highest number of correct answers in the shortest
time being declared the winners. Prizes will be awarded in the
Year 7 and 8 category, the Year 9 and 10 category, and the
Year 11 and 12 category. Students, you had better have been
paying close attention to what was happening in class!
We are also counting down to lift off! Our Year 11 Physics
students will be assembling and launching rockets during
Science Week. These students have been studying projectile
motion, and the rocket launching signifies not only their
ascension into the realms of physics, bit also our aspiration to
take science to new heights. Listen carefully to the daily
notices to learn where and when the launches will take place.
Mrs Ward and her assistants will also be conducting some
cool, hot, and colourful demonstrations in the Science
laboratories at lunchtimes, and students are encouraged to
come along and enjoy some hands-on activities.
Year 9 students who have been involved in a STEM project to
construct a mechanical robotic arm will also showcase their
work, with their fellow students learning how Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics were applied in the
process.
Further afield, there will be lots of events taking place around
Perth and WA on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 August. The
Perth Cultural Centre will be hosting more than 30 stalls,
including science shows, food trucks, practical experiments,
roaming performers, and an animal farm.
For more
information, visit www.scienceweek.net.au, and make the
most of National Science Week this year!

Pokêmon Trends in Current Affairs
Michaela Dews and Tahnika Woodley of Year 7 came up with a
new and improved way of delivering their current affairs content
this week. Instead of merely reading about something of
interest and asking other to discuss it, they created a
PowerPoint about the new Pokêmon Go game that is taking the
world by storm.
They had scenarios where there were mountains up on the
whiteboard, with Pokêmon balanced on the edge, and the girls
falling off as they attempted to catch them. Another scenario
involved driving along a cartoon road, highlighting the dangers of
driving while searching for these elusive creatures.
It proved to be a highly topical and entertaining way to deliver a
serious message. Well done girls!

KSSA Interschool Cross Country Carnival
On Friday 5 August, the PCACS Junior Interschool Cross Country team competed in the Kwinana Schools Sports
Association (KSSA) Interschool Cross Country Carnival held on Thomas Oval, Medina. Led by our Captains, Jake
Good and Sarah Mullineux, the team comprised 30 talented students ranging from Year 4 to Year 6, all keen to
show what they could do over the 2km (Years 4 and 5) and 2.5km (Year 6) courses.
The PCACS Cross Country team put in a dominant performance, with each of our runners finishing in the top
50% of the day’s tallies. As anyone who has experienced the infamous chalk hill will appreciate, this is a
fantastic result, and shows the exceptional depth of runners we have here at the School. All of our runners
should be proud of their efforts on the day.
Every student conducted him or herself respectfully, and represented the School in an admirable manner. As a
result of their hard work and training, PCACS won the Carnival by 250 points, and retained the KSSA Cross
Country Shield for an astonishing seventh year in a row!

2016 PCACS Athletics Carnivals
The 2016 Peter Carnley Anglican Community School Athletics Carnivals are fast approaching.
• The Senior School Carnival will be held on Friday 19 August (Wellard Oval—all day).
• The Early Learning Tabloid Sports Day will be held on Wednesday 31 August (School Oval—half day).
• The Junior School Carnival will be held on Friday 2 September (Wellard Oval—all day).
The entire School will be actively involved in showcasing their talents. There will be track and field events
ranging from 100m sprints to javelin throws and long jumps. There will also be team games and relays to
round off our days. All students are currently in preparation for these events, and are training hard as part of
their Physical Education lessons, alongside their continued involvement in our Co Curricular athletics
programmes.
On the days of the Junior and Senior School Carnivals, the School canteen will be out of bounds to those
students attending the carnival (the canteen will still be available to those in other year groups not
participating). The P&F will be selling snacks at the Wellard Oval canteen on the Carnival days, and as P&F
President Mr Darren Walters has said in his article, donations of cakes, biscuits, muffins and the like can be
dropped off at the Wellard Oval Pavilion from 8.00am or taken to Student Services on the morning of each
event. Please remember that we are an ALLERGY AWARE school. Volunteers able to assist with the Carnival
canteens are being sought, and are encouraged to contact Darren by email at pcacspf@gmail.com.
For the Junior School, two separate Carnivals will be run, one for the Early Learning years (Kindergarten to Year
2) and one for Years 3 to 6. The Early Learning Carnival will be held entirely on our School Oval on Wednesday
31 August, while the Years 3 to 6 Carnival will be held on Wellard Oval on Friday 2 September. Both Carnivals
are sure to be action packed and fun filled events.
Students are required to wear their full House sports uniform to and from School, which includes their house
coloured shirt (not required for Early Learning), navy shorts and the PCACS tracksuit. Students will also need to
wear their hats when not competing in events. Attendance at the Carnivals is compulsory, and a medical
certificate must be submitted if a student is unable to compete.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite all parents, family members and friends of PCACS to come along
and support our students. If you are able to assist with marshalling, marking, or other duties please see me on
the morning of the Carnival in question, and I will be only too happy to find you a role.
