Making KynnectionsMount Scopus College was honoured to host the first roundtable discussion evening of the Kynnections Project. A Department of Immigration and Citizenship program under their Diversity and Cohesion initiative, the project brings together young people from diverse backgrounds. Over three meetings and visits to the Parliaments of both Victoria and Australia, students learn about the cultural identity of various Australians and work together to promote a more harmonious multicultural society.

The first evening focussed on cultural identity and involved 15 Scopus Year 12 students, together with 45 students from other schools. Speakers included, Avi Cohen, Director of the Alter Family School of Jewish Studies and Ivrit, John Searle, Chair of the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, Ahmed Dini, People of Australia Ambassador, Yasmin Hassan, Youth Commissioner with the Victorian Multicultural Commission, and Chin Tan, Chair of the Victorian Multicultural Commission.

Performing Arts flourishes

With tongue firmly planted in cheek, secondary students presented Little Shop of Horrors to appreciative audiences. A comedy rock musical about a hapless florist shop worker who raises a larger than life plant with unusual eating habits that quickly becomes an overnight sensation, Little Shop of Horrors was a huge success. The production featured flamboyant sets and spectacular costumes, and a cast, band and crew of over seventy students from Years 7-12, together with one very large carnivorous plant.

Secondary students also performed Brecht – An Epic Journey, featuring selected works by theatrical visionary Bertolt Brecht earlier this term. The performance included Galileo, a text on the VCE English curriculum this year, with the cast of Years 10, 11 and 12 students playing multiple roles in the three works performed.

From the PrincipalAt this time of year, many Year 12s are imagining their future – through a gap year, university and beyond – but often the excitement is tinged with a little sadness that their Scopus days are coming to an end. And it’s not just about the fun side of Scopus – significant though that is. The College provides its students with an ethos, the encouragement and opportunity to learn, and a social environment. If these were to all cease at the end of Year 12 that would indeed be a loss. That is why the Informal Education Department, together with the Old Collegians themselves, has been developing the Scopus Alumni Program. A schedule aimed especially at uni students that includes social events, general and Jewish learning activities and a weekly Friday night minyan bring Scopus graduates (and others) together and enables them to continue to feel the Scopus spirit, in a modified form that suits their age and stage of life. The alumni program also has as its aim to give our Old Collegians, if they wish, an ongoing connection with the College and with the Community. Too often students feel that after benefitting from the Jewish and communal engagement that they have enjoyed at school, they seek in vain for equivalent avenues of connection while at uni. The Scopus alumni activities meet such a need. Our Mission Statement commits us to the promotion of lifelong learning, and the ideals, attitudes and informed choices that we hope to provide our students should not stop at the end of Year 12. You can take students out of Scopus, but, for those who wish, you can leave some of Scopus in the students.

Talia Melcer turns the compost bin at Fink Karp Ivany Campus

Going GreenSustainability is central to all aspects of school life, from classroom practices to playground recycling, and is at the core of many of our enrichment programs. Our primary campuses compost all biodegradable materials and students use the worm farm rich compost soil in their garden programs. Using tank water, students plant, water, mulch and fertilise their crops, then harvest their produce to cook and enjoy.

A new partnership with Jewish Aid sees Smorgon Family Primary School students donating food cooked in our kitchen garden program to the Sudanese community of Melbourne, allowing students to give back through their cooking.

Primary and Secondary Environment Captains run awareness campaigns throughout the year on sustainability, recycling, coastal care and waterway pollution issues.

Energy efficient lighting is installed at all campuses, paper and cardboard is recycled and our primary school buildings at Gandel Besen House and Smorgon Family Primary School have their own recycled water supply systems for flushing toilets. The College has a tank water capacity of 200,000 litres, used to water garden beds and sporting ovals, while the planting of warm season grasses and native species has helped reduce our water usage.

Winning teams

It has been an incredibly successful semester for our sporting teams with a number of premierships and state titles.

Both our Secondary Athletics and Swimming teams finished in the top five schools from a pool of 22, with our swimming team achieving its best ever result of fourth place and within only a few points of third place.

Extra training and specialist coaches have strengthened both teams and firmly cemented Scopus as a force to be reckoned with in the pool and on the track.

In addition, our Senior Boys Softball team won the Eastern Independent Schools of Melbourne (EISM) Softball Premiership for the third year in a row, defeating Billanook College 16-6.

For the first time Scopus entered a mixed team of Years 10-12 students in the Victorian Secondary Schools Touch Rugby Championships, where they won the U18 mixed plate division to become state champions.

Congratulations to our U15 Girls team who are also the state champions in the plate division of the Victorian Schools Touch Rugby Championships and are the first female team from Scopus to win a state title at these championships.

Parent education eveningsEach year parents of children in our early learning centres and Gan Gani toddlers program are invited to a series of talks on areas of interest to parents of young children, such as nutrition, building resilience and toilet-training.

Our most recent session focused on technology and was presented by the College E-Learning Coordinator, Erwin Dumenden and Prep teacher Kerry Zetzer. Their multi-media presentation highlighted how iPads are used in kinder and Prep at Scopus to build positive social behaviour through cooperation and collaboration, whilst developing the students’ self-expression and creativity in ways that would not be possible if that technology was not adopted.

Arty HeroIn 2012, the College was fortunate to host artist-in-residence J.K.B. Fletcher. ‘Fletch’ worked with Visual Arts students, sharing his stimulus, techniques and artistic background.

Fletch ran workshops demonstrating his hyper realist painting process and during his time in residence,

students, teachers and parents visited the art room to watch his amazing work develop.

Following his time at Scopus, students produced a composite mural of 16 individual panels of oil paintings based on his theme of flawed superheroes. Their work, titled ‘Arty Hero’, now hangs in the Slezak Multimedia and Technology Centre at the College for all to admire.

If not now, when?

Community Service is a way of life at Scopus and our students start young.

In kindergarten our children learn the importance of giving back and helping others. Primary students have made gifts for Sudanese children, visited Montefiore Homes to sing for elderly residents, raised money from weekly Shabbat tzedakah to sponsor a child at Neve Michael Children’s Village in Israel for a year, and worked weekly with young adults from Access in the community garden at Gandel Besen House.

Year 5 students made over 150 bears for the Build-a-Bear Teddy Bear Hospital event at Etihad Stadium on Good Friday and raised much needed funds for The Royal Children’s Hospital.

All Secondary students take part in a structured Community Service program, including an Ethical Living Day for Year 7 and volunteer work for all students at community organisations ranging from RSPCA and the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre to Jewish Care, Sacred Heart Primary School in Fitzroy and Emmy Monash. A Refugee Awareness Day for Year 10, the Kynnections multicultural project for Year 12 and regular volunteering with the New Stars Homework Club provide a range of experiences.

Students also heard from a variety of guest speakers, including Old Collegian, Yael Codron, ‘98 who spoke about her kidney transplant, and on the wider issue of organ donation and the importance for us all to think carefully about this important issue.

Scan and shareWith the availability of iPads in class, primary students and teachers are able to demonstrate learning and provoke thinking through video. Students are also learning about copyright and film techniques. Teachers and students are able to embed short videos into class blogs to celebrate or to extend learning.

A new way our students are sharing their learning is through the use of QR codes (quick response codes). QR codes are a form of matrix barcode label that is machine readable and can record large amounts of data.

When scanned with a mobile phone equipped with a QR code reader app, our Scopus QR codes take you to a dedicated book trailer or short video created by our students and teachers using iMovie. The QR codes allow the community to see some of the great work our students are doing with moving images.

To see how they work, just scan the codes below using a QR code reader app installed on your mobile phone.

Scopus was honoured to host a combined schools event in Term 1 to hear from both Gilad Schalit and Israeli Para-Olympian gold medallist, Noam Gershony.

Senior students from Beth Rivkah Ladies College, Bialik College, The King David School, Leibler Yavneh College and Yeshivah College joined our students for a memorable and inspirational presentation courtesy of UIA. It was humbling to witness 1000 students give prolonged standing ovations to both guests.

Karate kicksEnrichment programs offer something for everyone, from before school sports training to optional lunchtime activities and classroom based programs.

At Fink Karp Ivany Campus students have weekly karate lessons as part of their learning. Prep and Year 1 students have mastered defensive blocks, kicks and punches. While learning important self defence techniques and life skills, they are also improving their coordination, self-esteem and fitness, and the children love the lessons – it’s one of the highlights of their week!

Scope ShopThe College operates a clean and well organised opportunity shop selling pre-loved clothes, toys, homewares and second-hand school uniforms, located at 772 Glen Huntly Road, Caulfield South (open 9.30am-4.30pm Mon-Fri). The Scope shop is run by volunteers and all proceeds are returned to the school.

We congratulate Anne Korman, who recently received an award at the Glen Eira Volunteer Recognition Ceremony, acknowledging her 500 hours of service to the Scope Shop. Volunteers are always needed and their work is much appreciated. To volunteer a few hours each week, please contact Brenda McMahon (Manager) on 9523 0692.The Parents’ Association has been hive of activity the past few months

with our Mother’s Day stalls at all three campuses and our regular weekly activities like lunch orders, tuck shop and Challah sales.

Undoubtedly, the highlight so far has been the Mount Scopus Honda Astoria Twilight Footy Night. A great crowd turned out to enjoy skills training, face painting, delicious food and of course the opportunity to meet Carlton young gun Chris Yarran!

None of this would be possible without the wonderful support of our fabulous parent volunteers and the amazing generosity of our sponsors. Stay tuned for some great PA events in the coming months.

The Young Alumni program started by a committee of Old Collegians continues to grow with support from the College’s Informal Education team.

Recent events have included an intimate Yom Hashaoh Zikaron b Salon (remembering in the livingroom) evening and a Tikun Leil Shavuot where over 80 people heard from speakers on topics ranging from the Jewish community’s response to victims of sexual abuse, reflections on the Boston bombings from first hand witness, Dr Howard Goldenberg, to Jewish medical ethics and discussing the Torah concept Na’aseh v Nishma (we will do and we will hear).

In June a Newsroom session saw journalist Michael Gawenda speak on the Australian media’s coverage of election campaigns and how this affects public perception. Together with weekly shiurim held at the homes of Old Collegians, and Friday night youth minyans, young alumni events are open to all, not just Scopus alumni.

To find out more go to ‘Alumni Sessions’ on Facebook.

The items pictured are a window into the thousands of artifacts collected, identified, digitised and archived by the dedicated volunteers who meet each Wednesday at The Helen Synman Archive Project. Newly appointed Project Manager Frankie Pinch, believes the Archive is “a hugely important body of work which documents the valuable history of the College and provides a fascinating insight into life on campus through the seven decades since the school was founded”. The Archive Centre assists Old Collegians with reunions, as well as helping tertiary students with research and will shortly become available to the broader school community and as a resource for students and parents. In mid-2014, there are plans to mount an exhibition in the Archive Project space, which occupies part of the former Stanton Kindergarten in Milford Ave, Burwood.

The Helen Synman Archive Project is open Wednesdays (9.30pm-4.00pm) and warmly welcomes all visitors. To arrange a visit, discuss donating memorabilia or to volunteer your time, please contact Frankie Pinch at archive1@scopus.vic.edu.au or on 9834 0087 (Wednesdays).
