From the PrinciPalDear Parents, Caregivers, Staff and Students

Town Hall ConcertI would like to congratulate Music students and staff on a magnificent Town Hall Concert on Wednesday 22nd August. Not only did it showcase the ability and work of our students and staff, it was also a wonderful evening’s entertainment. Our special guests, His Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce, Governor of South Australia and Mrs Scarce thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Student Laptop Program – Years 8 & 9 students 2013In order to meet the needs of 21st Century learners, we believe it is necessary for each student to have their own computer. This decision is supported by Governing Council, is consistent with decisions taken in other schools, and is a key component of our Information Technologies Strategic Plan 2011 – 2013.

Parents of students in Years 8 & 9 in 2013 will be asked to purchase a prescribed laptop computer for their child to use at school. We are in the process of finalising device specifications and funding arrangements. I will be writing to parents of students who will be in Years 8 & 9 in 2013 to provide further information.

National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN)Parents and Caregivers of Year 9 students will receive a letter and their child’s Report on Friday 21st September. If you do not receive the Report or wish to discuss any matters associated with it, please contact Ms Friedrichs on 8304 8420 early in Term 4.

Student Safety to and from SchoolPlease ensure that your children are as safe as possible as they move between home and school and discuss strategies they can use if they find themselves in difficult or threatening circumstances.

Outlined below are some strategies students can use to minimise risk:

1. Wherever possible walk with others and wait for public transport with other people.

2. Be generally aware of their surroundings and areas that might provide a safe haven where there are people. Included are shops, service stations, Doctors’ and Dentists’ rooms and other places where there are likely to be numbers of people.

3. Have an emergency communications strategy so they know who to contact for a prompt response in an emergency.

If a student is approached and they feel uncomfortable they should move away quickly and make noise to attract attention. If there is ever an incident on Portrush Road in the vicinity of Loreto College students should go into the College and staff will provide emergency assistance.

Students who wish to discuss any issues associated with safety can speak with Ms Hunter, Ms Hudson or Mr Stevenson who are Student Counsellors, or their Home Group Teacher. Inquiries from parents and caregivers can be directed to Ms Ferguson. I would appreciate your support in discussing this matter with your child. Please read Ms Ferguson’s article relating to Student Safety On Bus Routes in this Newsletter.

Term 3 ReportsStudent Reports will be issued to all students on Friday 21st September. Please take the time to talk about the Report with your child.

Last Day of Term 3Students will be dismissed at 2.30pm on Friday 21st September.

Eden Park GardenI would like to thank the following people for their work in the gardens at Eden Park on Saturday 4th August: Markus Tresize, Sharon Ouwerkerk, Ros Blue, Beth Harkin, Di Banbury, Margot Turner, Peter Turner.

r Year 10 Snow tour 2012The Year 10 Snow Tour to Mt Hotham has returned and our students enjoyed the challenge of acquiring alpine skills on either boards or skis. There were no broken bones which is quite an achievement with a group of 162 people. The weather was challenging to say the least, with 50-55km winds shutting down some of the lifts during the last three days. All students made a lot of progress in their boarding or skiing. Ten volunteer instructors, many of whom are old scholars, worked in tandem with the MHS staff, to ensure that everyone tackled the slopes in a safe and positive manner.

We wish to record our appreciation of the volunteer staff who contribute so much to our tours. With such a large party our students learnt valuable life skills in how to cooperate as a team member. Students will receive a commemorative snow tour “hoodie”, and we expect that these will be delivered very soon.

We thank the Coordinator, Mrs Marg Vivian, for the tireless effort she put into the organisation and leadership of the tour. Well done.

From Baroque to BollYwood – a celeBration oF muSic at the adelaide town hall!This year’s Town Hall concert was another great success. The Governor, Mr Kevin Scarce, who is the Patron of the four Special Interest Music Centres, expressed his delight in the concert, and how happy he was to attend our event. The slick production and wide range of repertoire of the Concert helped create a moving and joyous event.This year the program included five choirs, and seven ensembles. The evening was announced with finesse and humour by Radio Presenter and Music Educator Keith Hempton. The quick stage changes were orchestrated by Josie Hawkes with a band of merry helpers: Matthias Fresacher, Alastair Price, Alistair Douglas, Jack Strempel, and Lewis Todd.

The program included a wide ranging repertoire from four corners of the world. The choirs sang in seven different languages, and we heard music from the Baroque to Bollywood. We also heard cutting edge contemporary music with compositions and arrangements by the professional musicians associated with our school.

After the entrance of the Governor and the Vice-regal salute the Big Band started the concert with a big bang. The Taskmaster by leading US Jazz professor Bob Washut was written in hard-bop style of Art Blakey. The second piece, Bebo was written by our very own jazz improvisation teacher Mark Fergusson. In a Cuban jazz style, the work originated as a piece to be used in improvisation classes, but grew into a work of its own. Mark Fergusson has been directing the band for Term 3 while Rob Chenoweth is on leave.

After the official Welcome to Country by School Captains Callum Warrender and Caitlin Finnis, was a short speech by Principal Mark Leahy. This was followed by the Senior Choir with the Bollywood spectacular – Jai Ho! Accompanied by string quartet and percussion the choir sang (and danced) A. R. Rahman’s song from the movie Slumdog Millionaire.

Director Aldis Sils stayed on stage to direct the Boys’ Choir with the poignant Prayer of the Children, a song about the atrocities of the Bosnian war.

Leonie Hempton’s Chamber Choir presented two contrasting works: Hush on the Death of a Bush Church by Australian composer Ian Grandage, and Counting up My Toes, a mock Edwardian piece complete with costumes and teddy bears. Hush utilised soundscapes of vocalised wind and flies with references to colonial songs, hymns and aboriginal motives.

The Concert Choir dazzled the audience with Hoses Hogan’s Elijah Rock, and then Lebo M’s rousing One by One from the musical The Lion King.

The Baroque Ensemble, under the direction of Katrina Brown, rounded off the first half of the concert with the first movement of Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C major with soloist Mason Stanton.

The second half of the concert was introduced by the Music Captains Emily Hatwell and Andrew Baird. Their heartfelt address not only encapsulated the educational philosophy of the SIMC, but also highlighted the personal, emotional and musical growth these students have achieved through the expert guidance of the music staff:

“The Music Centre brings with it such a culture of passion and thirst for knowledge, and much of this stems from the staff. The teachers of the Music Centre make it what it is. They do not teach because it is their job, but rather their obvious passion for music cannot be contained, and it is impossible for us not to learn. Through their enthusiasm they in fact empower us to learn for ourselves, and our own personal growth. Because of this, music quickly became not only another assessed subject, but extended out of the classroom into the rest of our lives, shaping our character not only as musicians, but also as people.”

Pops Vocal sang old scholar Naomi Crellin’s acapella arrangement of The Nearness of You, and then with combo backing sang Bacharach’s I Say a Little Prayer for You. The audience was blown away by the singing and the slick choralography.

The Senior Band, under the baton of Josie Hawkes, performed the Spanish extravaganza El Camino Real. The School Orchestra finished the concert with Kachaturian’s rousing Sabre Dance, and the dramatic 4th movement of Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony: “A Soviet artist’s practical, creative response to just criticism.”

This year’s Town Hall Concert audience was taken on a journey through various cultures, historical events, and human frailties. Judging by the faces of the departing crowd the audience was entertained and moved, and left fulfilled and satisfied. When thanked for attending the concert the Governor simply replied: “Why wouldn’t I come.”

Big Band II won Gold and equal 1st place with three other bands in the Advances Stage Band section. Big Band III won Gold in the Intermediate Stage Band section. Junior Band won Silver in the Intermediate Concert Band section. We specifically congratulate Year 12 student Matthias Fresacher who prepared and conducted the Junior Band for the competition. He has taken up the role as conductor of the Junior Band this year to develop conducting and ensemble skills. As a senior student he also acts as a mentor to the junior students.

award winning guitariSt, Simc alumni andreY leBedevAndrey Levedev recently won the Adelaide International Guitar Competition, and then a week later won the Sydney Eisteddfod Instrumental Scholarship.Since graduating from Marryatville High School in 2008 Andrey has been at the Australian National University School of Music where he is completing an Honours degree with teacher Timothy Kain on the National Undergraduate Scholarship. He placed third in the Guitar Foundation of America International Youth Competition in 2009, and in 2010 performed for two weeks at the World Expo in Shanghai in duo with flautist Laura van Rijn. Last year Andrey spent three months in Europe participating in various Summer schools and masterclasses, and was awarded the “International String Player Award” at the Gisborne Music Competition in NZ. Earlier this year Andrey worked with Peter Sculthorpe and premiered “Oh T.I” for Guitar and String Orchestra at the Canberra International Music Festival. He is also competing in the

finals of the Sydney Eistedfodd Instrumental Scholarship this Friday in Sydney.

In general, Andrey has been very much split between Canberra and Adelaide over the last four years. He is practicing as much as possible and trying to carve out a serious performing career. He is looking at various options for postgraduate study: remaining in Canberra or moving overseas. He is intending to do some auditions in Europe later this year.

the Julliard Jazz SchoolJulliard is a world famous dance, drama and music school in New York. During the July school holidays, they sent their top jazz teachers out to Melbourne for the week for a Jazz Winter School. Five Marryatville High School students auditioned and were accepted and it was pretty exciting to think that for a while, our audition music was sitting on someone’s desk in New York. All up forty students attended the week, from all over Australia, plus a few from overseas – from our school it was Louis Cann (Double Bass), Ben Finnis (Guitar), David Goodwin (Piano and Trumpet), Max Grynchuk (Trumpet) and me (on Saxophone), so Marryatville was well represented. Some of the people at this jazz school were so incredibly talented, it was amazing to get to know them and have the chance to play some great music with them.

We worked hard – there were instrumental master classes, listening sessions, ensembles, jam sessions, and group master classes, but everyone was there to enjoy the experience and get the most out of the week. We had the chance to enjoy a special performance by the teachers at the Bennett Lane Jazz Club, and they were extraordinary - Rodney Jones on Guitar, Chris Ziemba on Piano, John Tate on Bass, Michael Thomas on Saxophone, Matthew Jodrell on Trumpet and the director of the Julliard Jazz programme, Carl Allen on Drums. This was a brilliant week, it was great to make new friends and I would do it again in a flash.

2012 cultural JaPaneSe exchangeSoja Minami Senior High School, our sister school in Okayama Prefecture Japan, visited for two weeks early this term. 14 students and their chaperone attended classes, as well as an excursion to Kangaroo Island and a day trip to Cleland Wildlife Park. The Year 8 classes of Japanese enjoyed having Soja Minami students present aspects of their culture, participating in traditional activities such as Karuta (card game), Origami, and basic conversation.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the host families of the students and staff member from Soja Minami and look forward to our reciprocal visit in early September.

nge French exchange viSit 2012

On Friday 6th of July twenty students and two staff from our exchange school in Orléans (one hour south of Paris) arrived to spend a month in Adelaide. Mlle Raguin et Mme Williamson, the two chaperones, were happy to be in Australia once again – for Mme Williamson, a Sydney girl, and Mlle Raguin, the product of French and Australian parents it was a real treat to visit Adelaide and have the opportunity to catch up with family while they were on this side of the planet. Thanks must go to Ms Friedrichs for hosting both teachers.This is the tenth anniversary of the exchange between our two schools. It is hard to believe that it has lasted this long and it is only through the continued generosity of Marryatville families to host incoming students and the work done by Mr Thorburn to manage the program that it has continued for so long. Over 200 students from France have been hosted by our families over these ten years, some families having hosted students in successive years – I think the record is 6 students over 5 years. This has been the strength of the program, but it is also its weakness as over the years there are less and less families willing to take on students, particularly over the holidays.

This year’s group was one of the nicest yet. They were keen to experience as much as possible – some even wanted to go to lessons when they didn’t have to!!! They entered into the full range of activities that their host brothers and sisters were involved in, attending music rehearsals, listening to choir practice, training with our sports teams, taking part in lessons where they could and even wearing shorts on really cold days just like our own students do! Many of them even spoke English when they didn’t have to – even to the French teachers (from both schools).

Feedback from families so far has been positive. One host father wrote that their visitor ‘was a great ambassador for his school and country’. Another wrote that her son and his French counterpart were ideally matched and got on like a house on fire. As the group was leaving on the last day there were lots of tears and as happens every year, some didn’t want to go. As I say every year, tears flowing as the group leaves is, for me, a wonderful indication of how well relationships have been developed and how strong a bond has been created. When I see young people with puffy eyes, tears rolling down their cheeks, stifling sobs, I know that they’ve have a good experience here in Adelaide. When the Australian students are the same way, things have really worked out well.

Thanks must go to all the families who hosted this year. For the first time there were more families without a student studying French hosting and the French Exchange Team is very grateful to all 20 families who hosted and put themselves out for the program. The French students are also very appreciative of the experiences they had – all very different and all unforgettable. Whether they stayed in town, holidayed at Port Elliot or on Kangaroo Island, travelled to Melbourne or Sydney, camped in the middle of Victoria or New South Wales or travelled to the red dirt of Broken Hill, each student’s experience was unique and truly memorable. If the French school had a yearbook and in it a “Year 12 photo page” like we do, I can guarantee that every one of our visitors would mark in their Australia trip as one of the most valued highlights of their school experience. While Mr Thorburn will take the credit for getting them here, he can’t take the credit for them having the most wonderful time of their lives – that rests purely and simply in the hands of the school community and in the homes of the families which have touched these kids’ lives forever.

Merci mille fois.

VieTnam: ‘DusTeD Off’As part of the Student Life program on the 16th of August all Year 11 students attended a performance on the Vietnam War presented by Brett Hunt. As a child he had listened to many conversations in his home when Vietnam Vets visited. They would talk about their feelings of alienation and the impact the war had on their families and them. He observed the mateship of the men and the ways in which they supported each other.

In the presentation, Brett explored the inner workings of his family and connections with the Vietnam War. The solo performance consisted of music and interpretations of events that had involved his father and mates enabling students to live and breathe the Vietnam War. Brett explored the ideas of friendship and how important it is to build strong relationships with people around you. During Brett’s performance he used his voice, facial expressions, guitar and acoustic sounds to produce an interesting performance.

mathS aSSociation quiz night 8th auguSt 2012On Wednesday evening three Marryatville High School teams, each of four students, enjoyed a general knowledge and mathematics quiz evening with another 28 teams from other local high schools. Organised by the Mathematics Association of South Australia, they filled a large hall at Prince Alfred College.Though of a serious nature, the aim of the evening was to have good young mathematicians test themselves in an atmosphere of friendly rivalry, and mix with other students of similar interests and abilities.

Congratulations to both our Junior and Senior Teams who won their respective divisions. Our third team also performed creditably. The team members were:

Junior Winners Year 9: Lewis Omond, Hakjung Hahn, Linxi Shen, Yuya Ito

Senior Winners: David Wong, Laren Ip, Jack Han, Andy Yao

Senior 1: Matthias Fresacher, Aileen Van, Zewen Wang, Oliver Grenfell

All our students appeared to derive much enjoyment from the evening. Congratulations also to the manner in which they carried themselves, and worked together as a team.

marrYatville high School Student liFe ProgramSmental health and wellBeing ProgramSThe Student Life Program is a learning program that supports student well being and is delivered during extended Home Group times on Monday and Thursday mornings of each week. One of the core Strands to this whole school program is the “Looking After Myself” strand, and this has been purposely expanded in 2012 to include materials on positive mental health.The purpose of these Positive Mental Health Sessions at each of the year levels is to building and fostering student wellbeing including the social, emotional and psychological resilience of our students. Research indicates that young people possessing sound social and emotional skills are better equipped to face the stressors of daily life and they also tend to have better relationships with parents, teachers and peers and also perform better academically.

In 2012 our Mental Health program delivery is as follows:Year 8 Sense of Self WorthYear 9 Sense of BelongingYear 10 Sense of PurposeYear 11 Sense of Control

The teaching materials used are from the “SenseAbility Program” which uses a strength-based approach asking students to concentrate less on things that they think might be “wrong” with themselves or their world, and focus more on things that are OK or good, and that they can capitalize on. The program covers essential skills – important life and interaction skills we need to cope with the challenges in everyday life.

If you are interested in learning more about these programs the SenseAbility resources information is available on the Beyond Blue website at http://www.beyondblue.org.au or please contact Julie Ferguson or Jennifer Hunter.
