Learning music has profound
effect on child’s development
By Mr David Humphreys, Head of Music
With passages of scripture like:
Swimming
in the
rain
- Page 11
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the
earth; break forth into joyous song and
sing praises! Sing praises to the Lord
with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound
of melody! With trumpets and the sound
of the horn make a joyful noise before the
King, the Lord!” (Psalm 98) and
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
teaching and admonishing one another
in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in
your hearts to God.” (Colossians 3:16),
music is a right response to all that God
has done for us.
Music allows us to collectively express
ourselves beyond words as we meditate
on His Word as Bible-based songs rattle
around in our head.
With the importance of music laid
out in scripture, it’s little surprise that
the philosopher Confucius would
acknowledge that “music produces a kind
of pleasure which human nature cannot
do without.”
In the education context, at SSCS we
believe it vital that our students have the
exposure to music through our
Prep to Year 8 music classes,
run by highly-trained,

specialist music teachers.
There are also many
opportunities for all types of
instrumentalists and vocalists
to learn their craft in Peripatetic
lessons with qualified and
experienced tutors.
They can engage in ensembles
that allow them to collaborate
and create something bigger
than what they can do by
themselves.
We also see it to be imperative
that our gifted students are
extended in elective music
classes.
The life-long benefits of
studying music is perfectly
expressed by Richard Gill,
Director of the Victorian Opera
and Artistic Director of the
Sydney Symphony’s Education
Program, when he says:
“Children’s involvement in
musical activity has a profound
effect on the development of the
child’s general learning”.
Richard is talking about the
student’s ability to link concepts
in their brain. Benefits include
increased capacity of memory,
organisational skills, team skills,
perseverance, coordination,
mathematical ability, reading
and comprehension skills,
cultural history, concentration,
self-expression, listening skills,
discipline, performance and
presentation skills.
What better time to jump in and
enjoy the musical gifts God has
given us!
SSCS’ extensive Ensemble, Peripatetic programs start next week!
Individual lessons on
instruments with qualified
and experienced tutors
are about to get underway
next week as part of the
Peripatetic Program. These
happen on site during the
school day.
This fabulous (and
convenient!) opportunity is
available in the following
instruments: Violin, Viola,
‘Cello, Drums, Percussion,
Flute, Piano, Trumpet,
Trombone, Guitar, Bass, and

Ensembles
Elective Music students and
Peripatetic students have been busy
choosing which ensemble they will
commit to participate in this year as
required.

Building a relational learning community
also needs some practical and fun activities
In my first ever newsletter
article last week I talked about
the centrality of relationships in
learning.
From the
Principal
Mr Brett Hartley
Principal
God calls us into a relationship
with Himself through the
death and resurrection of His
Son. A consequence of being
a Christian is that the Lord
also calls us to be in a right
relationship with other people.
The Bible provides lots of
practical advice on how to build godly
relationships and I’m thankful to God that
SSCS teachers both teach and model
how to live the Christian life. Our teaching
practice is built on this foundation.
Fredo Frogs
Building a relational learning community
also needs some practical, and even fun,
activities.
Some parents may be aware that I have
started giving Fredo Frogs to students for
their birthday (and I’m doing my best to try
and cater for students with allergies!). This
has built up quite a degree of expectation
among students, particularly in Years K-2.
Earlier this week a girl in Year 1 gave me
detailed instructions about the birthdays of
numerous people in the class and urged me
not to forget them! I tried to explain to her
that I will do my very best to deliver Fredos
each day, but there will be occasions when
students will need to wait for a day or two!
The responses in Years 7-12 have
been quite different. The first few times
I darkened the door of a classroom, I
could have heard a pin drop as students
anticipated that someone was about to get
into trouble, yet broke into spontaneous
applause when I gave a student his Fredo.
Our relational learning community is also
developed by some excellent activities. Both
swimming carnivals were held this week,
where I saw a lot of enthusiasm, healthy
competition and a great deal of positive
relating. Many thanks to all those who made
these events so successful.
Laptops
I must also thank Mr Stonestreet and the
IT team for all the excellent work they put
into organising laptops for Year 7 and Year
10 and also the technology boot camps for
both year groups.
The laptop program has been very carefully
considered so as to maximise student
learning. I trust that students find laptops to
be a useful tool for learning.
Newsletter survey
Last week I referred to a survey about
the school newsletter and the school’s
Facebook page.
We have received a large number of
responses and I appreciate your feedback.
This will help us to consider the most
effective ways to communicate the positive
experiences at SSCS.
Parent events
Finally, could I remind you of two upcoming
parent events? The evening for parents who
are new to SSCS this year will be held next
Thursday (12 February), while the whole
school parent information evening will be
held on Wednesday 25 February. I look
forward to seeing you there.
We see ourselves as an extension of the home, so that Christian teaching given in the home is reinforced by the school
in an inclusive caring environment. Our aim is to strive for excellence in the academic and personal life of all students so
that they may reach their potential to the glory of God and the enrichment of life.

SSCS drama student chosen for ‘Young Wharfies’ program
The Sydney Theatre Company (STC) has
introduced an engaging new “Young Wharfies”
program where a few carefully selected students
are able to build on their theatrical literacy by
investigating what theatre is and what theatre can
be. Students do this by viewing STC productions
and participating in workshops with their creatives
throughout 2015.
A number of students applied for this exciting
program and one of our Year 11 Drama students,
Laura Munckton, was chosen to participate. She
reports on her first meeting of the year:
“At our first meeting, we enjoyed afternoon tea
with the STC staff as a way of getting to know
them (including meeting Andrew Upton, the Artistic
Director of the Company).
“Then we were taken on a backstage tour of the
STC, and ended the day with a relaxed workshop
session.
“In the months to come, I’m looking forward to
participate in workshops focusing on script and
play analysis, writing for theatre, the importance
of live performance, style and function of theatre,
directing, and more.
'I will also attend a range of performances including
Suddenly Last Summer, Jumpy, Endgame, The
Present, Arms and the Man, and Orlando.
'I feel very excited and privileged to be a part
of this program and can’t wait to see what
experiences Young Wharfies has in store for me.’’
We look forward to hearing about Laura’s
experience as she continues to make discoveries
into the theatrical world! - Mrs Kathryn Breen
Please consider safety when collecting your child from school
When collecting your child from SSCS in the
afternoon, please take special care for your own
and their safety.
For the safety of our students, it is also important
that parent vehicles do not enter or leave the
School carpark between 2.15pm and 2.45pm.
Do not walk through the school carpark, as buses
enter and leave at that time, making it a dangerous
situation.
Sutherland Shire Council Parking Officers will be
out and about at all Schools in the first few weeks
of Term giving out information and answering
questions, and throughout the year enforcing
parking rules.
We request that you stick to the pedestrian path
outside and to the side of the carpark and not take
a shortcut through the vehicle entry and exit gates.

Being part of a team . . .
We’ve been placing some
emphasis this week on
school uniforms.
For 20 years of my life (until
I tore a hamstring at the age
of 36 - I don’t have much
else in common with Michael
Clarke!) I played soccer for a
church football team.
What made each of us
a worthwhile and valued
member of the team,
ChaPlain talk involved much more than
By Mr Bruce Christian what we wore and what we
looked like when we ran
Chaplain
onto the field. But we did
consider our uniform an important part of
who we were, how we functioned and related
together, and how we presented ourselves
before the other team and our supporters and
other spectators.
In other words, we wore our team uniform
proudly (in a good sense).
At the Secondary School assembly on
Wednesday morning this week Mrs Cole
talked to us about identifying ourselves in
the SSCS “team” by wearing our uniforms
correctly. She reminded us that this isn’t a
difficult thing to do, and that the school diary
has a clear description of what is expected of
“team” members.
Strangely, when we don’t comply with
the simple requirements, we are openly
advertising to everyone around us that we
have a rebellious heart. Belonging to a team
carries with it the responsibility not to bring
discredit on the whole team.
All of this is important for “Team SSCS”, but it
is even more important for those who belong
to “Team Jesus”.
Like our school diary, the Apostle Paul sets
out our “uniform” requirements:
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy
and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness
and patience. Bear with each other and
forgive whatever grievances you may have
against one another.
“Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over
all these virtues put on love, which binds
them all together in perfect unity. Let the
peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to
peace. And be thankful.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly
as you teach and admonish one another
with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms,
hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude
in your hearts to God. And whatever you
do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to
God the Father through him.” (Colossians
3:12-17).
When we get up each morning we give some
thought (perhaps not very much for some of
us!) to what we will wear for the day.
Do we think as carefully, or even more
carefully, about how we clothe ourselves
spiritually? Do we decide to wear
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness
and patience? Do we decide to “bear with”
each other and have a forgiving heart? Do
we put on love over the top of everything
else? Do we show by our attitude to others
that we are striving to do everything in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving our grateful
thanks to God the Father for the many
blessings he has showered upon us?
Is it clear in everything we say and do that we
belong to “Team Jesus”?

Parents encouraged to be involved
We encourage and value parent
involvement in our school. We
have a wonderful opportunity to
partner with parents to provide a
Christian school community that
we all belong to and can contribute
to.
These include helping with Visual
Arts lessons, photocopying/odd
jobs, pencil sharpening, P&F help,
excursions and special days.
Research does show that when
parents take a positive interest in
what happens at school, it helps
children feel at home and well
supported in their learning (www.
kidsmatter.edu.au).
I am looking forward to welcoming
new parents to our community
next Thursday at the New Parents
Coffee and Dessert Evening.
Therefore, next week, you will
receive a Parent Helper letter that
contains a range of ways for you to
be involved.
Please have a look at your family
calendar and select how you would
like to be involved this year.
This is a great opportunity to get
to know members of the Executive
Team and other new parents to our
school.
Junior School
By Mr Paul Carter
Head of Junior School
Why Homework?
Most Junior School classes will begin
homework next week. Here are a few
reasons why we believe Homework is
worthwhile.
1. Homework is worthwhile when it
reinforces learning that occurs in
the classroom.
We aim to provide homework
that allows students to practice
skills and review knowledge and
concepts that have been taught in
the classroom.
This is why Junior School homework has
Mathletics and Reading activities as two main
focuses. Each week, teachers set Mathletics
activities that align with the concept being
taught. Your child will have their Mathletics
usernames and passwords in their diary.
Reading each day is emphasised in all grades
along with activities and questions that
respond to what is read.
We encourage parents to listen to their
children read and help them think about and
recall what has been read.
2. Regular Homework teaches valuable life
skills such as a study routine, discipline,
responsibility, time usage and working
independently.
3. Homework helps parents keep in touch with
how their children are going at school. If
the homework set by the teacher reinforces
classroom learning, then parents are able to
get a picture of how their child is travelling in
the classroom.
If you have any questions about homework,
please ask your classroom teacher.
Coming to the Whole School
Information Evening will help you to
find out more.

Meet our new staff
Mrs Kerrie Baker: Administration Support
Tell us a bit about yourself
I am happily married to Steve
and we have four children who
all attended SSCS for their
entire school lives. Therefore,
I have been fortunate enough
to be a part of the SSCS
community for over 20 years,
firstly as a parent volunteer,
then as a casual in administration. Now I am
taking on a permanent role supporting the Front
Office, Music and PDHPE Departments. I enjoy
going to the beach, swimming, having coffee with
friends and eating out! I am also a big netball fan
and love attending all the Sydney Swifts games
and then coming home and watching the games
on TV!
Why did you want to work at SSCS?
I have been a Christian for many years and have
greatly valued the input SSCS has had into our
family. It is a privilege to be able to both support
the school community and give back in this way.
Which of your teachers had the biggest
influence on you? Why?
The teacher that had the biggest influence on my
life was my Year 3 teacher, probably because she
was passionate about her job and loved to teach.
I knew that she believed in me and it made me
want to do my best.
Where did you work previously?
Prior to having children I worked for several
companies, the last being St George Bank.
However, I have been privileged to do what
I believe is the best job of all, parenting my
children.
What is your vision for this year?
My desire is to serve God, through serving the
staff, parents and students of SSCS.
Mr Christopher Pinn: Science Teacher
Tell us a bit about yourself
I’ve been a Christian for the last
12 years and attend Cronulla
Community Presbyterian Church
along with my family, which
consists of my parents, sister and
my brother-in-law. I graduated
from UOW with a Bachelor of
Science Education, majoring in
Physics in 2010. Since then, I’ve worked both
in Education and Research while completing
my Masters in Theoretical Physics. I taught
casually at a number of schools in the
Sutherland Shire but mostly at Kirrawee High
School which I miss. However, I very much
look forward to the educational opportunities
presented here at SSCS.
Which of your teachers had the biggest
influence on you? Why?
Of all the teachers I’ve ever had, I have to
say Jesus was the largest influence on my
life. Everything I’ve done since I became a
Christian has been guided by His word which I
believe is founded in the Bible.
Where did you work previously?
I’ve worked at a number of universities and
schools over the last five years, the most
recent being Kirrawee High School.
What is your vision for your students?
As stated by my new HOD, Dr David Ruys:
“To equip Christian scientific thinkers to honour
Christ, seek and witness to the truth through
methodical, careful, creative scientific inquiry”.
Nothing is more important than to understand
why you think or believe something. I
consider teaching these skills to my students
invaluable as it will contribute to their lifelong
journey of personal discovery and
development.

Meet our new staff
Mrs Natalie Bluhdorn: Head of English
Tell us a bit about yourself *
I have been married to the lovely Tim
for six years and have two gorgeous,
energetic boys named Samuel and
Oliver. I was a student at SSCS from
1992-1997. I studied English Literature
and Environmental Management for five
years at Sydney University.
Why did you want to work at SSCS?
I joined the English department of SSCS
in 2003 and since then have witnessed
both the school and the subject evolve
and develop over the last 12 years.
It has been a privilege to work in an
environment that is Christ centered.
I absolutely adore exploring texts with
students and welcome the challenge
and opportunity to grapple with
post-modern texts from a Christian
perspective.
Where did you work previously?
After graduating from the University of
Sydney, I taught in Oxfordshire, England
for a year. I also taught at Kirrawee High
for a short time before coming to SSCS.
Which of your teachers had the
biggest influence on you? Why?
A previous English teacher of SSCS was
my inspiration for becoming a teacher.
Mrs Debbie Williams was passionate
about her subject, demanded excellence
and taught me how to critique and
evaluate texts.
What is your vision for your
students?
I would love English to continue to be a
faculty that teaches quality, worthwhile
texts with enthusiasm and respect.
My prayer is to see all students explore
new texts, to have their ways of thinking
challenged and to equip them with
the skills needed to be empowered
to respond to texts in our constantly
evolving world.
* Mrs Bluhdorn is returning to full-time
teaching after taking some time out to
spend with her young family.

SSCS’ Emilie Davila workshops with Wicked cast
By Emilie Davila, Year 12
On Tuesday 27 January Sutherland
Shire Christian School commenced
for 2015. And while most students
were back flocking the halls with their
bags and freshly covered books,
I had the opportunity to travel to
Cambelltown Hall Theatre to take
part in a musical theatre audition
workshop, exclusively with the
current cast members of the musical
phenomenon Wicked.
Emily Cascarino, who plays
Nessarose in the current production,
and Edward Grey, who plays Boq,
both took time out of their busy
touring schedules to train and
give young performers like me an
opportunity to learn and develop our
musical theatre skills in a workshop
format.
The day commenced at 9am and,
despite obvious nerves and croaky
voices, each participant was called
to stage to perform one song of their
choosing before the audience. From
this point, direct feedback was given
to each person by both Emily and
Ed, as they helped to navigate each
performance, correcting issues and
providing techniques to improve for a
future audition.
After lunch we were called back into
the small theatre, this time for a round
of dance calls. In a mock audition
format, we were split into groups
of four to learn a simple movement
Emilie with Wicked cast members.
routine, which was then performed
before the audience.
This gave us an opportunity to
experience what it is like completing
a dance audition for a show.
The day finished with a debrief and a
Q&A.
Despite missing the first day at
school, the workshop was a success
and provided a great opportunity
for young people to understand the
musical theatre audition process.
Since the workshop, I feel my own
passion and skill in musical theatre
has grown and changed for good.

Swimming in the Rain!
Pictures by
Mrs Joy Towell
Yesterday we held our Primary Swimming
Carnival at Engadine Leisure Centre.
It was raining at the start of the day, we
got the umbrella’s out, cheered on our
team and dived into the pool. Either way,
everyone got wet!
Despite the rain, it was encouraging to
see so many parents and students at the
carnival.
Thanks to a very efficient team of
teachers and parent helpers, we finished
the events by 1pm, leaving plenty of time
for kids to have a free swim in the pool.
Congratulations to all children who
participated in the events, getting into the
water and having a go. Our Zone Carnival
is Monday 16 February.
Students selected for this event will be
notified early next week. - Mr Paul Carter
