In the first two weeks of Term 3, the theme in chapel services has been NAIDOC. NAIDOC is usually celebrated in the first week of July, when we are on vacation. The acronym is one we use liberally, but most people probably do not know that it stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee.
In chapel, the New Testament reading was Luke 1: 13-17, where the birth of John the Baptist, who paved the way for Christ the King, was foretold. Coincidentally, in a week in which we had the birth of a future King in London, in chapel our students watched a video about King Vincent Jabaan Schrieber of the Gungaanyji Guru Gulu Tribe, Yarrabah, Australia’s only tribal king. His task as king is to maintain the cultural integrity of his people in Yarrabah, just south of Cairns. He is the bedrock on which his people’s culture and its continued relevance is founded. Whilst the British prince’s responsibility will be scrutinised by millions through the lenses of thousands of journalists, it is nonetheless the same cultural and religious responsibility of the Yarrabah king.
There is an extraordinary amount we do not know about indigenous history and culture in Australia. I spoke at chapel about the decimation of the local Gumbaggnyir people that was caused by the introduction of European diseases, to which they had no resistance. As I prepared for chapel, my research took me to some reading about a massacre that is purported to have occurred Red Rock in the 1880’s. Gumbaynggir people were chased from their camp to the river at the headland, where many are said to have lost their lives. The Garby elders refer to Red Rock as ‘Blood Rock’. A plaque is in place at Red Rock today that commemorates this event in our history.
The importance of NAIDOC week and of momentous events like the Apology to the Stolen Generation is seen by the way we are forced to confront our history. It is too easy to be comfortable, too easy not to know, too easy to ignore. The great responsibility we have to our youth is that they do not avoid their history because of our negligence. Confronting our history strengthens our understanding of ourselves. It gives our children the chance to understand those things about our history that we were never told, the things that will allow them to be more compassionate, tolerant and sensitive to the cultures of one another.
Congratulations this week:
Jennessa Mok (9) competed in two piano sections at the Sydney Eisteddfod. Among incredibly tough competition, she was • awarded a Highly Commended in the 18th Century Composition section, which is an excellent achievement.In the recent vacation, Corwin Lee (9), William Ensbey (9) and Wayyln Turner (10) participated in the University of Sydney’s Science • Gifted and Talented Discovery Program. Students qualify on the basis of their performance in an entrance examination.Harrison Colyer (3) came 6th (in the rain) representing CIS at the NSWPSSA Cross Country Championships in Sydney last • week.Ashley Van Den Boogaard (12) has been selected for the Open Girls North Coast Rugby Team to play in Sydney for selection in • the NSW Blue and White’s Open Girls State team, in September.
Principal’s App of the week: ABC iview
The theme that we have used in Chapel has been about ‘vision’ and this week has revealed many joys and surprises and great celebration for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their son on Monday 22 July 2013. As this week unfolded I found myself having my breakfast perched in front of the television awaiting news reports from London regarding news that Catherine had gone into labour and the announcement of the gender of the baby, It’s a Boy!
The news of a birth whether it be a royal baby or not stirs within us a vision for a child’s journey in life, combined with anticipation and hope as we wait to be acquainted with that tiny new life. I was impressed with the willingness and ease that William and Catherine showed off their son to the world via the media and the crowd of people waiting outside of the hospital. They were proud and loving parents who were getting acquainted with their son. It’s such an emotional time for all parents following the birth of a child.
Please let me share with you the Archbishop of Canterbury’s prayer for this special occasion.
“God our Creator, who knows each of us by name and loves us from all eternity: we give you thanks for new life and human love. Bless William and Catherine as they welcome their son into the world. Give them patience and wisdom to cherish and love him as he grows. Surround the family with the light of hope and the warmth of your love today and always; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
For all parents everywhere may God surround you and your family with the light of hope and the warmth of God’s love.
Parenting is such a huge learning experience for most of us but along with our hopes and dreams for our children we manage to

It is important that parents and caregivers support the College uniform policy to ensure that all students in the Secondary school are presented correctly each day. The current expectation in the winter version of the uniform is that all students have a tie and blazer every day. Year 12 students are permitted to wear their commemorative jacket as a substitute for the College blazer. The link to our uniform policy is provided here for your convenience. http://www.bdc.nsw.edu.au/assets/pdf/Policies/Uniform_Policy.pdf
It is wonderful to be able to use the new Branson Centre and many groups in the school are utilizing this fantastic asset to our College facilities. Here is a reminder for everyone in our community regarding footwear inside the centre. We would like to enjoy this facility for many years and we need to protect the surface. The following guide applies at all times on the new surface:
Sports trainers only. Ideally white soled or non-marking black solesNO school shoes for sporting/dance/gymnastics activitiesNO stiletto heels NO socks or bare feetFlat plimsole, skate shoes or vans are not acceptable for PE or Sport (as outlined in the uniform policy)
Our Canadian exchange students are enjoying their immersion into school and life in Australia. They were fortunate enough to have some surfing lessons on Tuesday afternoon this week, so here are some photos of their first surfing experience!
do our very best. There are times when I am sure you would agree there are many highs and lows and there are moments when it can be very challenging but if we continue to parent with love, support and respect for our children we will find many years of great happiness.
Throughout our journey may we grow and reap the good harvest as we too discover Jesus together.
Date Claimer: Would you like to come to afternoon tea with a small group of College parents who meet once a term for Coffee, Cake, Chat in Community? We will meet at The Yacht Club on Saturday 3 August at 2.30 p.m. If you are new to BDC perhaps you would like phone the Chaplain on 0400463422 to find out more details.
The Solitary Islands Marine Park is holding the Marine Debris Art Competition in order to encourage awareness for students from 7-12 of the issues surrounding local threatened species. The artwork you create is to be made of undesirable marine debris into a work of a locally threatened species. There are lots of important details and forms so before you begin any work please see me in the HSIE staffroom or e-mail me. Entries close strictly on 30 August.

science newsLate in Term 2, all Year 10 students entered the ICAS Science Competition. The results are back and these students in particular are to be congratulated for their outstanding success. Certificates and the results analysis sheets were presented on Thursday for high achievers and returned to all students in science classes. Parents are encouraged to share these with their students because the Analysis Sheets have much valuable information about each individual student’s performance. This can be useful when making choices for Year 11 subjects next year. Congratulations to the following students who received Distinctions and Credits.

Book sale - Books needed
careers
The English Faculty is running a book sale during Book Week this year. The proceeds will go to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, which supplies much-needed new books to remote and isolated indigenous communities across the country. An example of this is the recent indigenous sports carnival in the central desert where about one hundred children received a free show bag and book to take home.
We need your support in the form of donations of books suitable for both primary and secondary students. Books should be in good and clean condition and should be brought to the English Staffroom before Wednesday 21 August. So please check your bookshelves for “pre-loved” books and send them in over the next few weeks.
Thanks for your support.

Just a gentle reminder that children will not be attending classes next Thursday, although teachers will be working for the first half of the day on Professional Development. This is not a decision that the school has made lightly, but as Mr Ball has explained, it is all about the gazetting of the half day as a public holiday. We will be working on developing expertise in IT as we intend to send evidence of student work home at the end of the year via an e-portfolio, so the time will be well spent for us all at work. You can, of course, take advantage of OOSH that day but you must book to ensure a place for your children.
I have just attended a conference on Visible Learning in Brisbane with Mrs Spry, Director of Curriculum in the secondary school, and have come back inspired. Visible Learning is an in-depth school change model of professional learning and development. It is based on the principles of Visible Learning that have developed from Professor John Hattie’s research. It takes the theory of this research

and puts it into a practical inquiry model for schools to ask questions of themselves about the impact they are having on student achievement. In the next weeks targeted teachers will be undertaking further professional development. I encourage you to look up information on the Internet, and engage in discussions with your child’s teachers over time, as we will be doing.
On 15 August we will be holding our annual Grandparents’ Day. We would love to see as many people as possible attend this event, from 9am – 11am. We will start with an assembly in the Branson Centre, then visit classrooms, and at 10.30 we ask everyone to join us for morning tea on the music lawn. Tea and coffee will be provided free of charge, and you may bring your own snacks or purchase some biscuits from the canteen via TryBooking. This way no one has to queue and the snacks will be delivered to classrooms before morning tea. It is such a lovely morning and we are all looking forward to the day.
Please be assured I am keen to hear from you as parents about any matters in the primary, so please contact me if you wish on: 66515644 or via email: [email protected]
BEFOrE SCHOOl CArEThere has been a slight change to the arrangements for Before School Care as of Monday. We will be using the library in future instead of 3M classroom as the numbers are growing and there are more activities for the children. Just a reminder that if students are at school before 8.15am they MUST attend Before School Care. Unless they are from the first bus of the day, the cost for this service is $10 per day.

Maretta Wood On behalf of the Primary SlT
slt news After a refreshing three-week holiday, the Primary SLT is back in action and already planning fundraising events for this term. The first of these will be Jeans For Genes Day to be held in Week 3 on Friday 2 August. This event raises much-needed funds to assist the Children’s Medical Research Institute in reaching their goal of finding cures for childhood diseases. Students will be able to wear jeans to school with a suitable shirt or jumper and will be asked donate a gold coin if they choose to participate. An email containing further details will be sent home this week.
Also this term the SLT will be assisting with the organisation of the World Vision 40 Hr Famine, which takes place over the weekend of 16-18 August. Students in Senior Primary are able to participate and help us support this worthy cause. More information will be provided closer to the date and families can also find details on the 40 Hr Famine webpage. This year we are encouraging all participants to use the online donation facility to move away from the need bring large amounts of cash to school at the end of the Famine.
In Week 6, Ms Jacobs is working with the SLT to plan an exciting Mufti Day to mark Book Week. Details are still being finalised and will be announced soon so watch this space!
Later in the term, the SLT will be assisting with a competition to design a logo for this year’s EYE Festival, incorporating the theme of Creepy Crawlies (bugs, insects and spiders). The winning logo will be printed on t-shirts which students will be able to wear during EYE Week. The proceeds from the printing venture will go towards our World Vision sponsor children and also charities within our local area.
Last term, a group of Year 3 students organised a muffin drive and a raffle to raise funds for Cambodia. Due to their efforts, a total of $129.90 was raised, which was a great result and will assist the purchase of bicycles for the Cambodian school so children do not have to walk such long distances.
It will be a busy term so thank you in advance for your continued support of the SLT’s fundraising efforts this year.
eye festivalIt’s Term 3, which means it is time to start preparing for the 12th EYE (Express Yourself Everybody) Festival and this year’s theme is “Bugs Alive!” This creative arts festival will be held at BDC Primary School in Week 10 of this term and we can expect to be immersed in all things ‘bug-like’ for the week.
The EYE Festival will begin in typical style with a fantastic opening assembly (in the Branson Centre) that introduces students to the theme of the festival and features a range of talented staff and students.
Thanks to our Coffs community tutors and BDC’s own creative teachers, each day will feature a range of creative arts activities for all students from dance to drama, painting to pottery, crafts to cooking and music to movie making! Once again, we have a special project to beautify an area of our Primary school that will be part of our EYE Festival activities.

One of the highlights at the end of the week is the EYE Movie. This incredible movie showcases the students’ work and fun throughout the week and allows them to reflect upon all they have experienced.
The Year 6 musical is another regular part of the EYE Festival and the Year 6 students have already begun practising. This year’s musical is called “Antsillvania” and it promises to be highly entertaining.
Students have been asked to submit logo designs on A4 paper, based on the “Bugs Alive!” theme. The winning design(s) will be printed on the EYE week t-shirts. These designs need to be put in the “Bugs Alive!” box in the Primary Office by Friday 2 August.
HOW CAN YOU SUPPOrT US?We want to make this EYE Festival the best experience for our students, so we are calling on volunteers to aid in a range of ways. Perhaps you could tutor a small or large group of students, assist during the sessions, or help with the musical’s costuming and set. If you are interested in becoming involved in any part of this exciting week, please contact Mrs Rebecca Ireland [email protected] or Mrs Ruth Stuart [email protected].
grade of the week - year 3In 3C we are working on writing amazing narratives. We have looked at fairytales this week. Here are some story introductions.
Far away in an enchanted forest where it snowed heavily there stood a castle covered in pure white snow. A beautiful princess lived there. The princess’ name was Jessica, she wore a sparkling aqua dress that shone in the moonlight. Her hair was golden and went all the way down to her feet. Princess Jessica had glittering blue eyes. She was hungry as there was no food left. She decided to put on her woolly white coat to search for food… Ellyse Walker
Mr Frog was a detective who was green and carried a magnifying glass. He wore a big spy jacket and hat. Mr Frog had big eyes. He lived in a tall castle alone…Huntly Gordon
Princess Imogen lives in a castle near the forest. The castle is made of clean bricks. The cleaners clean the bricks every day. One day Imogen went into the dark and cold forest knowing she wasn’t allowed to go there. She heard a noise. Some one was following her. She looked behind her and saw….Maggie McEvoy
Jessica Kerr, Kyle Wood and Marley Crook learning about plants this term in 3C Science.
In 3M we have been talking about how the writer needs to ‘hook’ the reader with exciting opening sentences. We wrote narratives about finding a treasure chest.
One hot and steamy night I was running along when I suddenly tripped on something. I got out my torch to see what it was. I flicked the on the button of the torch and the light shone on a golden chest. Keira Williams
One stormy rainy day I was looking in the attic for my favourite book. I noticed something in a dark corner that was covered with a thick blanket. I went closer and was shocked when it turned into a frightening blanket monster that was guarding a treasure chest. Nel Jacups
One hot and sunny day when I was walking on the road, I saw a chest. Next to the chest was a scary ferocious monster. It was guarding the treasure.Amaniel Singh

My Storyplan It was a hot sunny day in June. Kim and Jodie skipped along the soft sand. They were laughing and joking with each other. Earlier, they had discussed what they were going to do. So, into the dark forest they wandered, holding hands to be safe. Suddenly, there was a sharp crack and a flash of lightning. Slowly, they turned around. As if by magic there was a tiny person who spoke to them. “To get the map you had better follow me.”They walked through magic doors and strange rooms, following each other. They came to a huge, golden door. It creaked open and they found a golden key! It shone and shone in the room. “It’s a key!” yelled Kim. “Someone pick it up!!”“I’ll do it,” said Jodie.So she picked it up. It made a beeping noise……(To be continued….)

Ben Woodward 3/4R, with his alien
rugByBoth our U/14 and U/16 teams had a big week this week, playing in the MNC Coast to Country Cup on Tuesday at BCU Stadium, and then backing up on Thursday to play the annual MNC Shield against St. Josephs in Port Macquarie. Both teams played really well on Tuesday and made it to the semi finals. The 14s were beaten by JPC who were the eventual winners in that age group, and the 16s lost a very close and entertaining match against Macksville, when a field goal was kicked with only seconds remaining to snatch a victory from our boys.
It was a very cold, windy morning on Thursday in Port Macquarie and I think this, plus a few injuries from Tuesday, put our 14s off to a very slow start. They conceded 5 quick tries in the first half and never really recovered, although they came back in the second half and tried hard. The 16s once again played a very exciting match with the score changing hands every few minutes. In the end though, St Josephs got away with a win in a great game 45-38. Well done to all our boys.
