Life in the Wilderness | Issue 5 | 24 August 20152

As a part of the SRC Executive this year, our main goal was to enhance the culture of Wilderness by ensuring every girl feels connected, respected and heard. This mission was based around our word of ‘Unity’, which we thought was a really important factor to incorporate into our community this year.

During Week 3 this term, we held our Unity Week in celebration of our efforts this year in regards to unifying the School. During the week, the Cancer Council Committee held a Pancake Day along with a photo booth in the Junior and Middle/Senior School to raise money for the charity. This was a great success with lots of girls buying some Cancer Council merchandise and a variety of different flavoured pancakes. In order to build new relationships beyond our cohort, the Year 12s also went down to the Lower Junior School to read to the Receptions and Year 1s. We were able to meet and bond with the girls and assist them with their Form time reading. In addition, a communal coffee morning session was arranged on the Friday morning by mixing a range of Forms of different year levels together to undergo a quiz. The groups ensured each girl met someone new that morning, allowing different year levels to work together. A rock band performance and photo booth was also organised in the Junior School for extra entertainment. Lastly, we asked the Middle and Senior School girls to decorate a pink paper doll and write a response to this question, ‘What did you like about this year that was done differently?’ Not only does it provide good feedback for us but also allows the girls to recognise the many positive attributes in our School community that were newly initiated by different members of the SRC this year. It was a huge success and we hope the girls enjoyed it as much as we did!

The ‘South Australian Schools Mathematics Competition for SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) Prizes’ is a State-wide Mathematics competition which gives our best Mathematicians the opportunity to tackle challenging problems which go beyond the classroom experience.

Earlier this year some of our most able students from years 6 to 12 participated in this competition and once again Wilderness girls achieved impressive results.

Do you like to think?

Do you like to solve problems?

Do you like teamwork?

Do you like to continually learn new things?

An IT professional needs all these things.

On Thursday 18 June, a small group of girls were lucky enough to attend the ‘Big Day In’, held at the Adelaide University. Organised and run by university students from across Australia, the ‘Big Day In’ is an intriguing and highly informative ICT careers conference. Held nationwide, it focuses upon numerous aspects of the Information Technology industry. Some of the highlights of the day included listening to Lawrence Crumpton (Microsoft Australia), and Dr Tim Kitchen (Adobe) discussing IT

opportunities that students can pursue at University, and some of the emerging technologies that will be introduced in the near future. Dorotea Baljevic’s thought provoking speech ‘P’s Don’t Make Degrees – Perseverance Does’, reminded us that if you have a passion for IT, persevere and never give up, and do not let anyone get in the way of your dreams. We were all interested to hear about the plethora of job opportunities available in IT and are excited about future career prospects.

A big ‘thank you’ to Mrs Lanthois for organising the excursion, and accompanying us on the day. We all really learnt a lot from the speakers.

The wellbeing of each girl is vital for her personal and academic success. This is central to the School’s mission ‘To enable each girl to be the best she can be throughout her life’. By applying a research based approach to wellbeing across the School, we will empower girls with the necessary tools to flourish.

Senior School Brett Lee – Cyber Safety Students in Years 7 - 12 heard from Brett Lee, a cyber safety expert, about how they view their online world and strategies to help keep them safe. Undercover internet detective Brett Lee has spent thousands of hours as a fictitious teenager on the internet, which creates a powerful and unique credibility with teenagers. Brett shared his experience and offered a range of stratergies to our girls so that they can make wise choices on the internet, specifically with their online personal identity and profile. Brett also talked with parents in the evening about how parents can help support their daughter growing up in a digital world.

Wellbeing and Positive EducationMiddle School WRAP – Wilderness Resilience Adolescent Program All Year 9 students will complete a 7 week Wilderness Resilience program focusing on the positive mental health of students and this curriculum is designed to increase girls’ ability to face and deal with adversity. This program is part of the weekly Character and Wellbeing class that all Middle School students attend. The Resilience curriculum addresses mental health issues, promotes optimism and equips students with strategies for dealing with adversity. At Wilderness we believe that a comprehensive approach to building resilience and addressing mental health issues is critical to the development of positive young minds and to help each student flourish. This curriculum is taught right before girls attend REALISE (Year 9 camp) so that they can practise the skills learned while they are away on camp.

Senior A Debaters, Hema Berggren, Helena Karapetis and Georgina Wigney competed in the Wilderness /Seymour Debating Intercol Tuesday 11 August. The standard of the debate was excellent with both teams presenting strong cases for the topic, ‘That the Federal Government should not fund private schools’. The result was a narrow win to Seymour by 2 points.

On Wednesday 12 August the Senior As debated Seymour again, in the SADA Schools Competition, but this time they defeated Seymour by 5 points.

Senior DebatingWilderness have finished the regular season as minor premiers, being one of only two teams to remain undefeated in their 5 debates. The girls are to be congratulated on this outstanding achievement and we wish them luck for the finals which will be held over the next few weeks.

On Monday 29 June we (Harmony Craig, Ayani Gamage, Joanna Nelson and Sarah Dinh) took part in the Australian Brain Bee Challenge State Finals.

Filled with excitement, we arrived on the day at the University of South Australia, eager to learn about neuroscience. The day began with a short introduction from Professor Kurt Lushington (the Head of Psychology, Social Work and Social Policy at UniSA) and then dove straight into the individual challenge, where we competed against 41 other students from around South Australia.

We then had talks from professors, researchers, scientists and university students working in the areas of neuroscience and psychology as well as demonstrations of different machines used for brain research such as the EEG (encephalogram). After this, we took part in the team challenge and were awarded with our certificates for qualifying for the State Finals.

It was a great day and we thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the brain and the different methods of treatments currently being developed to combat diseases such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s.

Unfortunately, we were not awarded a prize for the team challenge, however, congratulations to Sarah Dinh who became the Individual winner for the State Brain Bee Finals and will be representing South Australia for the Australian Brain Bee Nationals next year.

On Wednesday 22 July, the JSRC Vice President Bella and JSRC Secretary Allegra were honoured to speak at the Whole School Assembly. The Year 5 choir sang ‘Strong’ from the Disney movie Cinderella. It was exciting and a great experience.

Bella - “Good morning girls, my name is Bella Lee and this is Allegra Kemp.

We were Semester 1’s JSRC leaders along with Sara Alkhazrajy who couldn’t attend today’s Assembly. We learnt many skills as leaders last semester including what it means to be a servant leader. Servant Leadership means you stand up for others and put others first, even if you don’t have a formally recognised position. We used many leadership skills during Semester 1, for example the Community Care Committee raised over $2000 dollars for Nepal. The Student Foundation Committee did a great job of serving tea on Grandparents day and assisting Ms Trotter on School tours. OurHouse Captains encouraged the girls in the Junior School to try their best resulting in a very successful Swimming Carnival and Cross Country. Each week our organisational skills assisted us to prepare a speech for the Junior School Assemblies. We had to ensure that we collaboratively worked together practising time management skills and working with our teachers to still complete our classroom work”.

JSRC Leader’s AssemblyAllegra - “Last semester the Junior School Committees were very successful. For example, the Environment Committee built new garden beds and the Library Committee hosted a very successful Grandparents Day and Bedtime Stories for the younger girls.

Showing great initiative, the Active for Life Committee came up with successful ways to ensure that girls returned their play equipment. Demonstrating servant leadership the Peer Support Committee took time out of their lunchtime to make sure all the girls had a safe environment to play in. The Year Level Representatives displayed great listening skills and initiative by working with the Years 3 to 5 girls.

As leaders in the Junior School we believe that leadership is about behaviour and not about a position. It’s about making an impact on our School community, admitting mistakes and most importantly serving others.

Finally, we would like to leave you with this quote about leadership:”

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. - By John Quincy Adams

In Term 2, we made created life size models to represent migrants who have made a significant contribution to an aspect of Australian life.

The models are based on a real exhibition called ‘The Peoplescape Installation - A Celebration of Federation’, which was set up on the roof of Parliament House in Canberra, in 2001.

Our models showcase many of the skills we have been developing over the term, including creating bibliographies, referencing images, information report writing and reflective thinking.

Some of these included the author Morris Gleitzman, former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Mary Home Brown the mother of the Wilderness School founders.

We had to initially research and then write an information report about our migrant, taking note of the contribution this person has made to life in Australia. We used Harvard Visible Thinking Routines to scaffold and challenge our thinking. We enjoyed the creative aspect of this task. Some of us created a presentation using iMovie which we linked to a QR code placed on our model, which could be scanned using a smart phone or an iPad. Early in Term 3 we held an exhibition in the Library to showcase our work.

At the end of last Term a Year 7 and a Year 2 class shared their French language skills with each other. The older girls had created a storybook in French which they read, then translated to a Year 2 girl. The Year 2 Students were then

Year 5 girls went to Port Adelaide for an excursion on Monday 10 August. Here are some quotes from students who we interviewed about what they learnt at the Maritime Museum and the Port.

Yilin Gao: I learnt about different explorers and what they contributed to mapping Australia.

Trishna Ramkumar: I learnt that Nicholas Baudin and Matthew Flinders met in Encounter Bay.

Suneli Athukorala: Nicholas Baudin and Matthew Flinders met at Encounter Bay. It was a friendly encounter even though the English and French were at war. They even had breakfast on Baudin’s ship!

Georgina Birchall: I learnt that Matthew Flinders didn’t see his wife for 10 years.

Victoria Paddon-Jones: I learnt that Matthew Flinders was a prisoner on Mauritius.

Jasmine Birt: I learnt that Nicholas Baudin died in Mauritius.

Jennifer Tran Nguyen: I learnt that Nicholas Baudin died because of tuberculosis.

Cleo Kapetas: I learnt that the people used the sextant to measure the angles of the sun.

Holly Goodchild: I learnt that the lighthouse that we climbed wasn’t always in Port Adelaide.

Imogen Cavill: I learnt that a man and his dog were washed away from the lighthouse and drowned due to a storm that happened on Granite Island.

Alana-May Baggio: We had a great time at the Maritime Museum, we learnt all about explorers and about how their lives were.

Olivia Scamoni: I really liked the Maritime Museum because it was fun and I learnt lots of new things.

Ms Short: This excursion is one of my favourite every year because the girls learn so much about explorers, life in colonial times and they reflect on how Port Adelaide has changed over time.

Thank you to all of the parents for supervising us!

Things were really popping at the annual Boarders Day held on Wednesday of Week 4, where country and western music provided a backdrop for the day. The day kicked off with a range of special homemade goodies, from cakes to slices, to biscuits. The aroma of freshly popped corn wafted across the campus, attracting many girls to the ‘Country Fair’. Every country bumpkin knows you can’t go past a good snag in bread and steak sanga, so what do you know? We provided this as the lunchtime feast. To add to the theme delicious fairy floss was served to

Annual Boarders Daythe excited girls, that had just cleaned up their sanga’s. Providing entertainment, the Boarders gave a line dancing demonstration to the classic Nutbush, and had a jig to the classic tunes especially ‘Thank God I’m a Country Boy’. Overall the day was hugely successful raising $1350 to support the 12 young girls in the Boarding House in Nepal. The support and enthusiasm from all girls especially the boarders demonstrated the true Wildy spirit and that ‘we’re all members of the Outback club’.

Dates to Remember ROAD SAFETYSAPOL will actively enforce the road rules around

Wilderness School. They have a zero tolerance policy and will be monitoring speed, school crossing use, double

ranking and u-turns. In the interest of safety of our girls please ensure you are familiar with the road rules. Please

obey parking restrictions and bus zones at school drop off and pick up times. The safety of our girls at drop off and pick up times is in your hands. Please help avert a tragedy by observing the traffic rules and insisting that

your daughter uses the crossings. For further information about road rules please refer to the ‘Road Traffic Act

1961’ and the ‘Australian Road Rules’.

Wilderness School Nut Policy

It is the School’s desire and obligation to provide a safe educational environment for all students. An allergy to nuts is the most common form of allergy in children. Wilderness School has many students in the school who have a life threatening allergy (Anaphylaxis) to nuts. The students range from the Early Learning Centre to Year 12.

Nuts, peanut paste, nutella or any product containing these foods are not permitted at Wilderness School. Foods that state they may contain traces of nuts i.e muesli bars, cookies, chocolate are allowed.

Photographs on Social Media Out of respect to other families within our School Community, Wilderness School asks that photographs taken at any School event or function that contain images of other students not be published, distributed to others or placed on any form of social media, without the consent of the relevant student’s family.
