Principal’s Report

Dear Parents, Students and Staff

We welcome everyone in our community back to the College for the Second Semester and we look forward to an event filled and rewarding second half of the year . We extend a special welcome to our French and Japanese exchange students who will be with us for a few weeks .

Congratulations to the following:• Award winners at the end of last Semester• Students elected to represent the College as Councillors for this Semester• Students who participated in or competed in various events during the holidays .• Sam Smoothy and his father, who last week, achieved the amazing feat of swimming across the English Channel as the first father son duo .

With the various sporting and academic activities added to the major events of Artsfest, the School Fete and Open Day, Science Week, the Inter-house Athletics Carnival, Bali Week, Yr 7 Orientation and the Year 12 Mock Examinations this will certainly be a busy term . We encourage everyone in the Community to get involved and support the students in their endeavours .

When speaking to some senior students on their schooling, various classes and plans for the future I was encouraged by their positive approach to life, even if most of them, as yet, have no clear idea of what they hoped to do . This mindset will give them a resilience to overcome the challenges of life ahead . So often the way we approach the things we do in life determines not only the outcome but also defines our character . The different approaches is illustrated when a number of students were asked why they were doing a particular maths problem or history assignment . One answered ‘I’m doing this because the teacher told me too” whereas another answered “I’m doing this because I’m in the process of building a great intellect .”

My aim is to try in every respect to adopt a positive approach to every task, no matter how small . Knowing that this approach in itself will play a significant part in not only determining a good outcome, but also in building my character into that which I would like it to be . Added to this is my aim to build my character on a firm foundation by listening to the word of God and obeying His Word .

Luke 6: 47-48 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on rock .

Channel swim a family victory By Katherine Fleming

Martin and Sam Smoothy.

Only 100m into the English Channel crossing and already stung by the jelly-fish in the pitch-black water, Martin Smoothy knew he had to keep it together.

On the support boat nearby was his teenage son Sam as they attempted to become the first father-son duo to make the swim.

Martin knew about Sam’s jellyfish phobia, so when they shouted questions about why he was struggling, he said nothing.

Over the next 13 hours, the Smoothys overcame fear, doubt and physical exhaustion to finish the 35km-plus crossing, described as the Mt Everest of open-water swimming.

The pair, from Mindarie, were having a pasta dinner with their coach, champion marathon swimmer Shelley Taylor-Smith, and solo swim aspirant and former footballer Campbell Brown when the call came that the conditions were right.

They set off at midnight, doing hour-long turns in the water and spending their breaks trying to keep warm and get food, drink, antihistamines and seasickness tablets down.

The changeovers left no chance to talk, so they wrote heartfelt messages on the boat’s white board.

After hearing Sam had emerged shaking from his last leg, Martin left a note of advice for his son: to think of the jellyfish as the people who bullied him when he gained weight from steroid treatment for bone cancer as a little boy.

They thought of the funds they were raising for the Uganda Project for orphans and used the smallest of distractions to pass the time.

By the time they got to the French coast, there was a small and narrowing tidal window to get ashore.

Miss it, and they would spend another five hours in the water.

When father and son scrambled ashore, they shed tears.

“They just hugged each other and wept uncontroll-ably,” Taylor-Smith said.

The 20th YMCA Western Australian Youth Parliament took place during the first week of the winter break. This year’s program had a strong contingent sent from Perth’s northern suburbs.

Quinns Baptist College students Jordan Dyce and I, Lewis Hutton, were selected to participate in this year’s program, which was open to application from those aged between the ages of 15 and 25.

The program, which had participants from all walks of life and from all corners of the state, allows the youth of Western Australia to debate that issues that are most important to them in the Legislative Council (the Lower House of the Western Australian Parliament) in front of MP’s, Senators and Dignitaries.

As the Youth Member for Butler, Jordan Dyce had the role of representing the constituency which our school falls in. He was also on ‘The Commerce Committee’ which produced a piece of legislation titled the ‘Regional Economic Development Bill 2015’. This along with seven others pieces of legislation was debated in Parliament.

At the year’s ‘Parliamentary Training Day’, which took place in March, I was able to fend off tough opposition to be elected as the Youth Premier of Western Australia by the government caucus. This role meant I had a lot more speaking time in Parliament. I also was responsible for making sure the government was operating efficiently and effectively, helping out those who were struggling with any aspects of the program, and giving speeches at official functions. Along with this I was also a member of the ‘Housing and Transport Committee’ who produced the ‘Accessible, Sustainable and Affordable Transportation Bill 2015’.

Other bills that were produced and debated were the ‘Education Reform Bill 2015’, The ‘Indigenous Cultural Preservation Bill 2015’, the ‘Judicial Understanding for Sentencing Those Involved in Criminal Enterprise Bill 2015’, the ‘Juvenile Alcohol Consumption Bill 2015’, the ‘Prevention of and Response to Bullying in Education Bill 2015’, and the ‘Renewable Energy for Western Australia Bill 2015’.

During parliament we also had to deliver a speech on any issues effecting our electorate, one on a preselected ‘matter of public interest’ - which this year was youth mental health - and also one on any topic of our choice. For the latter speech, Jordan spoke about youth political apathy, advocating for additional compulsory school subject such as Economics and Politics & Law, I spoke of how Australia must end the age of entitlement by reforming our Taxation, Welfare, and Education systems.

For more information on the program, or if you are wanting to participate next year, please speak to both Jordan Dyce and I or go to youthparlwa.com.au. By Lewis Hutton

Year 11 Leadership Camp- July 2015

The positive indications of a successful school camp were evident from the outset when everyone arrived on time. Our first adventure challenge included following a rather dubious route up Mt Vincent before planning and executing a simulated rescue of a designated victim with a ‘snake bite’ and a ‘broken limb’. There was a great deal of joviality during this undertaking which may have been slightly different had it been a real life rescue. Particularly, after it was explained that in a real life circumstance our designated victims would most probably have died.

The following morning the team summited Bluff Knoll in rather cold, windy and wet conditions. However, the adverse conditions did nothing to dampen the spirits of the group and in many ways added to the sense of accomplishment. Those locals monitoring radio transmitters in the district will still be wondering if Mr Percival’s yell of ‘Geronimo’ signalled an unplanned base jump from the summit.

In the afternoon the teams had a great deal of fun on the Albany Great Photo Collage Challenge and then even more fun trying to eat a mountain of pizza at the local restaurant. Back at the Stirling Range Retreat our great time around the campfire went late into the evening.

The challenge the next day was to climb the 51 meter high Diamond Tree near Pemberton. The views over the top of the Karri forest from the tree made the daunting climb worth it. All in all the whole camp was a great experience for everyone.

Last year we launched the used Battery Recycling Program at Quinns. Please place them in the specially decorated bin (see photo) in the LIBRARY.

No car or phone batteries please.

If you put the batteries in the general household rubbish bin it goes to landfill and can contain toxic substances which are harmful if released into the environment. Alternatively they may end up at a composting facility and cause contamination. Through our program all metals and components of the batteries are recycled by Auszinc in New South Wales to make street lights, new batteries and steel frames

for houses.

Library is open before and after school so bring them in! Let’s see how many kilograms of batteries we can collect this year.

Thanks to Mindarie Regional Council for setting this up and collecting the batteries.

Mums Raising Teenage Boys However well-prepared mothers are logically, the emotional response to having a boy is often still, ‘Wow! This is unknown territory.’ It is true that for many mothers, the idea of raising a son carried its own set of worries. As the primary female role model in a boy’s life, mothers play an important role in the development of their son’s identity including their ability to be nurturing. For teenage boys in particular, this on-going relationship with their mothers has long term implications. This in turn effects how they relate to others, particularly to girls and women.
