Whispers-20101020 - Overnewton Anglican Community College

Volume 24.31
20 October 2010
From the Principal, Mr Jim Laussen
jim.laussen@overnewton.vic.edu.au
This week, we say farewell to our Class of 2010 as they take
their last classes prior to the commencement of VCE exams
next week. This is a week full of many emotions ranging
from the joy and excitement of finishing school and moving
onto the next stage in their lives to the realisation that the
finishing of school brings with it an end to the routines,
familiar places and, more importantly, familiar faces that have
been so much a part of their lives for the past 13 years.
On Friday, students will arrive at school in fancy dress and
parade through both campuses to the delight of students and
staff in other year levels. By midday, some four to five
hundred people will gather in the Richardson Centre as
students and their families enjoy lunch together. The day will
culminate in an assembly that is always full of laughter,
celebration and fond reminiscing along with many tears as the
realisation dawns that this is the last time that all students will
be together in the same place.
Once again, this year I have been disappointed to hear the
media continue to promote the concept of „muck up‟ days;
perpetuating the use of this negative name for Year 12
students‟ last school day whilst on the other hand delighting
in criticising student activities on such days. Overnewton has
long enjoyed having a final day of celebration rather than
„muck up‟ and I do ask parents to continue to support staff
efforts in this regard.
I am sure that all members of the community would join with
me in wishing our students well as they carry out their final
preparations for the coming exams, thank them for their
wonderful contributions over many years at the College and
say farewell to the 83 families that also leave us this year as
their last child graduates from Overnewton. I trust that the
students and families will remain connected to the College
through the Old Collegians Association and through the
ongoing friendships that we delight in hearing, continue long
beyond the formal years of schooling.

YEAR 5 TRIP TO THE ZOO
The following email was sent to me, following the Year 5
excursion to the Zoo last week. The writer is someone not
connected to the College who was so taken with the
behaviour of our students that she felt compelled to write to
us. In our year of „walking in another‟s shoes‟, it is lovely to
read such a testament about how our students were doing this
on their excursion. This is an email of which we can all be
proud.
I am writing to congratulate your students on their exemplary behaviour
during an outing to Melbourne Zoo today (11/10/2010).
My son (22 months), my daughter (8 weeks) and I are members of
Melbourne Zoo (Fotz) and visit regularly during the week.
In the last seven days we have been three times!
During todays visit we had occasion to have interaction three times with
students from your college. Upon entering the butterfly house a polite
young man waited and then held the entry door open for us. Upon
leaving the Butterfly House another of your students again waited and
held the door open for my son and myself with a pram. At the elephant
viewing area my young and enthusiastic son was wandering off and I was
calling him back. A nice young man from your college gently took his
hand and steered him back toward me.
Unfortunately the behaviour of your students stands out because such
politeness and manners are never seen on our regular outings! During
the week at the zoo there are many many school groups of all ages and
today was the first time in twelve months I have had positive interaction
with any secondary students.
There are many many toddlers at the zoo so it was a great joy to see a
group of older children walking with care, not running ridiculously, being
polite and well behaved and being very aware of other members of the
public.
Living in Richmond I doubt I could justify sending my son to
Overnewton but I hope I find a school of a similar calibre in our area
and would not hesitate to recommend anyone to send their children to
your school based on what I have seen today.
Congratulations on the behaviour of your students and thankyou for
giving me hope that old fashioned manners and politeness have not been
forgotten. May your college, students and teachers keep up the great
work!

needs
Skipping with both long and short
skipping ropes was encouraged on
Monday and it was lovely to see so
many children involved in this
activity. There was lots of laughter
and different skipping chants being sung. Mrs Curmi held a
fitness circuit on Tuesday where many children took part in a
variety of activities using unusual activities, this included using
skills such as balancing, running, twisting and catching.
Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse on
Wednesday and outdoor activities were not able to be held,
however, many students continued to be involved in fitness
activities in the Gym. Our thanks go to Mr Simon Bowyer and his
team of Physical Education staff for all of their work in organising
this week of fitness. We hope that this promotion has a long
standing impact on our children and encourages continued health
and fitness opportunities for them each day.

My time with Year 4 was a highlight for me this week. They
kindly invited me to view various activities they had been working
on. I was proudly shown computer animations in 4G which
totally impressed me. The children had used many areas of the
curriculum to create an animated show representing something of
interest to them. A great deal of reading, spelling, grammar,
thinking skills, ICT, problem solving and co-operative learning
had clearly taken place to produce these animations. I thoroughly
enjoyed sharing these with each member of the class. 4M also
proudly shared their mathematical learning with me as they set up
a shop where they used concepts related to fractions and
percentages to show quantities, sales and pricing. It is very
satisfying for the children to use their knowledge to apply to real
life situations.
Congratulations go to all Year 1 and 2 students and staff on the
completion of their nine day swimming program. It is a huge
effort for all involved to take part in such an intensive program.
I‟m sure there were some very tired children, and teachers, this
weekend. I was very pleased to hear that the children worked
hard during their swimming lessons and a great deal of progress
was made. Thank you also to the parents who were able to offer
their assistance during the program. Prep children begin their
swimming program this week.
I was very pleased to see so many parents at the Junior School
assembly last week. We awarded Term 4 class captains at this
assembly and I know that there were some very proud parents in
the audience. As many of you would have realised we also
awarded Student of the Week certificates at this assembly. Please
note that Student of the Week will be awarded on a fortnightly
basis from now on at each Junior School assembly. We do hope
to see you there when you are available.

SPIRITUAL WELLBEING
The Role of House in the Junior School at Taylors Lakes
Campus in Term 4
I would like to acknowledge the parents who were so supportive
of „Nude Food Day‟ last week which was also a part of Health and
PE week. The children were very proud to show me their lunch
boxes without any wrappers. It was terrific to see the efforts
parents had used in ensuring their children would have a rubbish
free lunch. This made such a difference to the rubbish that was
collected in the school on that particular day. Of course, it is not
always practical to send along lunches and snacks without
wrappings, but it is certainly something we encourage and support
throughout the College. Please consider continuing to send along
„Nude Food‟ whenever possible.

SCIENCE TALENT SEARCH 2010
Science Talent Search is an annual competition run by the
Science Teachers Association of Victoria. It has been running
for over 50 years and is open to students from Prep to Year 12.
The theme for this year was Australian Biodiversity and there
were over 3000 entrants from around the state. We had 24
students from across all five year levels of the Keilor Campus
Junior School undertake and complete the challenge this year.
Entries submitted ranged from scientific posters and games to
creative writing pieces, models and inventions. We were
fortunate enough to have three students receive
acknowledgement certificates, eleven students receive merit
certificates and ten students receive a bursary award, with three
major and seven minor to be presented on Wednesday the 3rd
of November at La Trobe University. The names of the award
recipients are listed below.
I would like to thank the parents and the staff who supported
the students through this valuable learning experience. In
particular I would like to thank Rosalyn Muir and Rachel
Crowther for giving their time on a Saturday morning to help
judge Science Talent Search entries at MLC, and Lyndal Mihic
for her guidance and encouragement.

Congratulations to the members of the Girls Football Team who
placed 2nd the ACS Girls Football Round Robin. Loyola
College, the reigning premiers, won the competition, with
Overnewton placing 2nd after a convincing win over Thomas
Carr College in their final match. This is a terrific result from
this cohort of players who have improved steadily over the past
few years in this competition.
Thank you to coach Rebecca Campbell, who experienced her
first win with the team and kept them motivated in rainy and
challenging conditions. Thanks also to Luke Farmer who drew
on his AFL experience to umpire the matches and coordinate
boundary and goal umpires. It was great to see the girls were
supported by additional College staff and parents, with the
competition taking place at Taylors Lakes Campus. It was the
first time Overnewton hosted the competition, which despite the
poor weather, proved to be a great success.

TALKING TO CHILDREN ABOUT SEXUALITY
Parents and carers play a vital role in communicating with
children about sexuality, however, we know that many parents
have doubts about how to talk to their children about sexuality,
and what is appropriate for children of different ages. A research
project currently underway at the Parenting and Family Support
Centre at the University of Queensland and Family Planning
Queensland is looking at how parents communicate with their
child about sexuality, and what support they would like in
teaching their child about sexuality. We are seeking parents of 3
to 10-year-old children to share their thoughts in an online
survey, which takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Please visit the website to find out more and take part in the
survey.

The boys from the table tennis team had a fantastic start to the
season outscoring their opponents ten matches. Despite a
comfortable winning score, some of the matches went the
distance of seven sets to decide the eventual winner. As a team
they lost only two singles games and one doubles match, so well
done to retain the consistency showed earlier in the year.
YEAR 7
Bhavya Kaur and Natasha Marinkovic were 3 games to 1 down
in their second set during the tennis matches this week. They
rallied and came back to win the next 5 games to win the set 6
games - 3. They gave each other plenty of encouragement,
stayed positive and never gave up, so these girls were named best
on court this week.
The cricket team kept their unbeaten record complete with a
comfortable win this week. Jacob Hazeldine was best with the
bat with 43 runs and had to retire from the game. He also took
three wickets when it was his turn to bowl. Other good
performances were James Porto (26 not out), Liam Kurzemnieks
(14 not out) and Adam Pisani (24 not out) and bowling was
Daniel Raniolo taking 3 wickets.
Winners: Girls‟ tennis (8 sets - 0); girls‟ volleyball B (3 sets - 2);
boys‟ cricket (139 runs - 76); boys‟ basketball A (40 pts - 25);
boys‟ basketball B (23 pts - 17); boys‟ hockey (2 goals - 0)
YEAR 8
It was a great match by the girls from the tennis team
dominating most of the sets. A special mention needs to go to
Melissa Hinch and Jessica Wijnen who had the most convincing
statistics of the afternoon, dropping only one game in two sets
of tennis.
Leading scorers from the boys‟ basketball games were Justin
Borzillo (14 pts); Jack Hojnik (12 pts), Jay White 10 pts, Callum
Bellinger (8 pts) and Bryce Davies (6 pts).
It was great win by the boys from the table tennis team. After
the singles it was four sets apiece with the scores from all of
these matches very even. All of the players in each of the
doubles encounters combined well to take the match.
The girls from both of the volleyball teams tried hard
throughout their encounter with St Michaels; however, they were
very strong and dominated the match. The B team was able to
take one set off their opponents which pleased them immensely.
The girls from the soccer team put in a much improved effort
winning the game comfortably in the end. They played the game
with a different format that allowed them to be more aggressive
in attack and solid in defence. Sarah Gonsalves scored all 4
goals but they capped a great defensive effort by the girls that
turned into attack and enable Sarah to score. This win was made
even more impressive when we find out that their opposition
was sitting second on the ladder. This win keeps the final hopes
of the team alive.
Winners: Girls‟ soccer (4 goals - 1); boys‟ basketball A (30 pts 28); boys‟ table tennis (10 games - 6); girls‟ tennis (6 matches - 2)
YEAR 9
The focus for the boys‟ cricket team is to be able to field a team
each week, support one another and show improvement as
individuals and as a team. We have supported the boys in this
second half of the season by giving them an experience coach as
well as an Overnewton staff member in Ms Johnson to
coordinate the team. This has paid dividends in their first game
for this part of the season with the batting for the entire 20 overs
Liam Summerhill was outstanding in goals in the hockey match
this week. The opposition peppered the goals but Liam stood
tall and only one of them penetrated the back of the net.
Thomas Beagley and Daniel Morcos created most of the
attacking drives for the team that gave them many opportunities
to score. Jesse Amato was named „most improved‟ as selected
by the coach.
Both of the boys‟ basketball teams had impressive victories this
week with the leading scorers from these matches being John
Van Der Rest (23 pts), Jarryd Senior (17 pts), Nikolaas
Dimitrijevic (13 pts), Jake Wunhym (9 pts), Russell Dannock
and Matthew Guilieri (7 pts apiece).
The boys from the softball team combined together well to
score another massive win during this season. Royston Bout,
Steven Lam, James Tran all scored 4 runs each. Dilen Ibrahim
score 3 runs himself and he was also the pitcher who kept the
run rate of the opposition low. He was well supported by the
players in the field and the team was led extremely well by James
Tran.
Winners: Girls‟ soccer (1 - 1 draw); girls‟ softball (13 runs - 8);
boys‟ basketball A (36 pts -24), boys‟ basketball B (57 pts - 14);
boys‟ softball (24 runs - 7) and boys‟ table tennis (13 matches 3)
For information regarding departure and return times of
the ACS teams during the week, call the College’s Sports
Information Line on 9 331 5980.
A REGISTER OF GREAT SPORTING ACHIEVERS
Within the College community, past and present, there are a
number of high achievers in a wide range of sports. The ACS
maintains a sporting Hall of Fame that includes students from
participant schools. There are a number of current and past
Overnewton students whose achievements are worthy of being
added to this list. We too maintain a list of such students, on
the College register of achievements, with the view of adding
our students to the ACS Hall of Fame. Hence, I would be
pleased if any information of past or current students‟ notable
sporting achievements were passed on by email, letter or fax, or
by telephoning me at the College prior to Friday 5th November.
Any student who has reached state level in their sport should be
included in the College‟s own register, which was started in
2005. A celebration of the 2010 achievements will be
recognised at our College Sports Awards evening on 24th
November.

that they will go to a good home!!

Friday night and packing up on the Saturday straight after the
