From The Editor It seems appropriate that our second semester Oracle should feature The Arts. The hosting of this year’s student Visual Art Show was truly amazing with over 1,000 pieces of quality student art work on display and a magnificent wearable art fashion parade. The international Music tour to Los Angeles was a great success for our music students, followed by a record number of students selected into the prestigious State Ensemble program, plus repeated success at the Eisteddfods. Our Drama students, in both Junior and Senior School, have again exceeded all expectation with results from their numerous examinations and presentations. The College is certainly overbrimming with artistic talent. From The Headmaster It would be no secret that I enjoy sitting down to relax and read through the Oracle. As Headmaster I am obviously proud of all students within our College and, through various conversations with staff and parents, aware of the numerous student achievements that occur both inside and outside of the school. Nevertheless it provides me with a great source of pleasure as I read and learn more about OC's students who are extending their skills at Queensland, interstate and international levels. There is a belief that each ‘top academic student’ will create a ripple effect upon five other students by influencing them to follow in their example. No doubt the effect of establishing positive norms on campus also applies in the sporting and artistic fields. If you look at the level of ability of so many of our students, then start recounting the vast number of extraordinary things that are being accomplished and recorded on a weekly basis, it definitely gives credence to this theory. Whatever the reason or statistical fact, Ormiston College students are performing at the top of their league in so many areas. As I am sure you will agree, the following pages are an endorsement of this. Brett Webster Headmaster Our strong academic profile, coupled with this indisputable creativity, is quite gratifying, and I haven’t even started to talk about Sport, which has also experienced another great year and is featured in this edition. The Oracle really does give me the opportunity to boast the quality of the diversity that an Ormiston College education has to offer. Valerie Warwick Editor Semester Two Edition 2012 THE ORACLE 3
