HEADMASTER
Mrs Judi Nealy
Acting Headmaster
What is the purpose of the school newsletter?
• to celebrate achievements
• to tell the many good stories of our school and community
• to increase awareness around educational issues and thinking
• to create connectedness
This term I looked at the calendar to see what has happened since the last newsletter and this is
what I could quickly see:
• Junior School OZ Opera
• TIGS DANCE Evening
• Elective Music Concerts
• Easter Service
• School and NASSA Cross Country
• Regional da Vinci Decathlon for Year 5 – Year 10 (three separate events)
• AICES and NASSA Touch football
• CIS AFL Trials
• Duke of Edinburgh Silver Expedition
• CIS Swimming
• Continuing rehearsals for the production Mary Poppins
• Planning for the Mother’s Day Breakfast
• ANZAC Day Services
What conclusions can be drawn from this exercise, and what conclusions do I hope our community
sees?
Firstly, breadth. Our school offers an astounding breadth of opportunities to grow, learn, develop
and shine. TIGS graduates are typically confident and willing to step out into various opportunities
that are presented to them. This is because our students have the opportunity to follow their talents
and passions and develop that confidence through the many opportunities offered here at our
School.
Secondly, diversity. Our learners are multifaceted, they can be athletes and linguists, artists
and academics or any other combination of gifts, talents, opportunities and interests. This week
we hosted the da Vinci Decathlon for Years 7 to Year 10 and competed in the Junior School
Decathlon at another school. The da Vinci Decathlon is an academic competition designed to
challenge and stimulate the minds of school students. Students compete in teams of eight across
10 disciplines: Engineering, Mathematics and Chess, Code Breaking, Art and Poetry, Science,
English, Philosophy, Creative Producers, Cartography and General Knowledge.
Finally, community. TIGS is unique in the support given to all of our learners by staff and by the other
young people in finding that special area where they experience “flow” and developing their skills
and expertise in that area. This is really exciting because when I observe one person shining at
the front of the stage, athletics track, classroom, or any other area in our School, I typically see a
supportive network of community surrounding that person, assisting them to achieve to that level

2017 ANZAC Dawn Service. Three staff and 17 students from Year 10, 11 and 12 participated in a 3-day
expedition to Splendour Rock in the heart of the Blue Mountains to commemorate ANZAC Day. Two of our
students, Remi Moores and Darcy Fisher, had the privilege of leading the National Anthem which brought
many of the attendees to tears.
as well as celebrating with them as they achieve it. We also enjoy the benefits of strong parent
and community involvement and this is currently being lived out by our group of dads working
hard to organise the Junior School Mother’s Day Breakfast and the “Understanding How the HSC
Works” workshops being organised by the P&F.
This combination of community, diversity and breadth results in a wonderful learning journey for the
vast majority of students at our School. I encourage families to continue to seek out opportunities
to be involved in the broader life at TIGS and benefit from the experiences, connections and
growth that can occur as a result.
Over the holiday break I have finished reading a great book by Dr Phillip Dow on Intellectual
Character Development. In this book, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual
character. He explores seven key virtues - courage, carefulness, tenacity, fair-mindedness, curiosity,
honesty and humility and discusses their many benefits. The recovery of virtue, Dow argues, is not
about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. I look forward to sharing
some of the thinking about each of the virtues with our school community over the coming weeks.
Staffing Changes in the Finance Department
TIGS Business Manager, Mr Ben Marsh, has accepted a position as Business
Manager at Malek Fahd Islamic School and will be finishing up at TIGS on 19th
May.
Ben has been a great asset to our School and we wish him much success in his
new role. He is excited about the challenges of a new school with a very large
enrolment (over 2400 students) and three campuses.
Allan Munro will take carriage of the Finance Office for the immediate future.
Please direct any inquiries concerning fees or payments to Allan after 19 May
2017.

Against the Flow
I was blessed to enjoy some Long Service Leave
during the second half of Term I. A part of my leave
was spent in the United States. I enjoyed three weeks
travelling with one of my sons. Much of our time was
spent walking the streets of San Francisco, New
Orleans and New York. We averaged around twenty
kilometres a day. It’s a great way to get to know a
city.
I had been to the States once before. On that
occasion, I did a lot of driving or commuted via
public transport. That shielded me somewhat from
an experience I had this time as a pedestrian. We all
know that Americans drive on the right-hand side of
the road. What I hadn’t fully appreciated was how
profoundly our traffic rules impact us as pedestrians.
As pedestrians, we tend to walk according to
our traffic laws. It’s just something we do without
thinking. For example, when passing someone going
the opposite direction on a footpath in Australia we
take to the left almost as if we were in vehicles on
the road. In the U.S., however, pedestrians take to
the right in agreement with their own traffic rules.
Rev. James Rogers
Chaplain
In the Bible, God presents to us a true construction
of life. Sometimes this agrees well with the way we
have constructed things ourselves (we have good
instincts; we are made in God’s image). At other
times, we find we have got it horribly wrong (we
are fallen people who tend to move in opposite
directions to God’s good intentions for us). Following
God’s way will occasionally cause us to bump up
against those who are going the way of human
construction (what the Bible calls ‘the way of the
world’). This demands a decision from us. Which way
will we go?
It’s here that we need to remind ourselves that as
the Author of Life God knows what’s best for us. We
will do well to fall in line with him. God says this to us
in Romans 12.2:
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve
what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect
will.”.
CHAPLAIN
What this meant for me was that I had to consciously
reorient myself from the left to the right as a
pedestrian. My mind had to be engaged because
my instincts, born out of many years of conditioning
in Australia, had me on the left. Needless to say, I
slipped into automatic on many occasions (too
many!) and found myself bumping into goodhearted
Americans who were navigating their own
paths in automatic. Sometimes (fortunately not too
often) I incited the ire of those whose path I was
impeding.
It was somewhat of a revelation to me how our
conduct as pedestrians was so dictated by the
traffic rules we had established. That got me thinking
how this is true of much of life. As human beings, we
construct a norm for living. We tend to fall in line with
this construction. We are usually fine with this until we
bump into someone taking a different path. We are
caused to wonder who has it right.

JUNIOR SCHOOL
School Dismissal Procedures
Our School Campus is a busy place with multiple
things happening every afternoon. We need the
support of all parents and our whole community in
ensuring that the children are supervised and safe.
Recently I have noticed children playing around
campus whilst not under the direct supervision of
an adult (either teacher or parents). This is a difficult
situation for both the staff and for other children
whose parents are either in Car Line or not on
campus.
This week, staff have been directing and reminding
students of the dismissal procedures that apply to
all children in the Junior School. Thank you to our
parents who support us in reminding their children
of these rules and the reasons why they must be
implemented. For your information, the requirements
are as follows:
After School Activities
Students participating in after school activities must
wait quietly on the Amphitheatre or the Breezeway
for their activity to commence. They are not to play
handball or any other game. At the conclusion of
the activity, they are to be collected by parent/s
and if not, will be escorted to TIGS Extend.
Car Line
Junior School students can only be collected
from Drummond Drive Car Line. Students are not
permitted to walk up to the Powell Street car park
or to Western Avenue to wait with older siblings. All
Junior School students being collected by car must
sit in the supervised area and be escorted to the car
by a staff member. Parents are also asked to check
for people walking behind their cars before opening
car boots and tailgates.
Buses
Students travelling on TIGS buses must wait on the
Amphitheatre until the teacher on duty collects
them to walk to the bus.
Students catching buses from the Princes Highway sit
in the supervised car line area until their bus arrives.
Students Walking Home
Students who walk home of an afternoon are to wait
on the Amphitheatre until 3:10pm when they are
dismissed by a teacher to walk home.
Mrs Narelle McRae
Acting Head of Junior School/
Director of Student Wellbeing Junior School
Library Access
Students in Year 6 only may access the School
Library in the afternoon for quiet study or homework.
These students meet on the Amphitheatre and are
directed to the Library at 3:10pm when Senior classes
conclude. They must sign in at the Library reception
and be signed out when they are collected by
parents. They must remain in the Library until they
are collected. Please note that the Library closes at
4.00pm on Fridays.
Access to Playground Equipment
Students are not permitted to play on any play
equipment unless directly supervised by a staff
member or their parents. This is an important safety
rule and any students noted doing this will be
escorted either to the car line waiting area, the
Amphitheatre waiting area or to the Junior School
office.
Prep Siblings
Siblings of Prep students are provided with a
supervised waiting area in a Junior School classroom
and must be collected no later than 4.00pm.
Students still in the room after 4.00pm will be taken
down to TIGS Extend.
The Prep student must be in attendance on the day
for the Junior School student to be able to attend
the Sibling Waiting Room facility.
Before School Arrangements
Supervision is provided on the Amphitheatre from
8:00am until play commences at 8.20am. Children
arriving early to school are to come straight to the
Amphitheatre with their bags.
Music Lessons
Children having music lessons before or after school
are to be under the direct supervision of their tutor
or parents. Siblings are not to play near the music
tutor rooms during the lesson, they are to follow the
procedures outlined above.
It is very important that we have routines and
processes to keep our students safe before and
after school. I appreciate the assistance of all school
families in making sure we know where the children
are before and after school and in keeping them
safe at school each day.

SPORT
Junior School Cross Country
Well done to all our Year 3 to Year 6 students on their wonderful participation in the Cross Country last Wednesday.
The House competition was close and tightly contested. Congratulations to Aranda on first place followed by Coligan,
Wolgal and then Kogara House.

SENIOR SCHOOL
Mr Greg Lanyon
Head of Senior School
Welcome back to the TIGS community after,
hopefully, a restful break at the end of a busy term,
culminating with the successful ArtsFest Showcase.
This great event was well attended by school
families, friends, past and present students. There
were several successes by students in the Senior
School at the end of last term and over the Easter
break.
In Debating, TIGS hosted Round 2 of HICES Debating,
in Week 9 of Term I. It was a very successful afternoon
and evening organised by Mrs Burton, ably assisted
by Mrs Bowmaker and Mrs Toland.
Two of our middle teams won their debates, as did
Year 11 Opens and the Senior team (by forfeit). In
Year 7 and 8, Alexandra Wall, Nathaniel Makotsvana,
Nicholas Chiaverini, Isabella and Charlotte Atkinson,
Aditya Sinha, Nick Seal and Enuri Gamage acquitted
themselves well with close losses. For several of these
students it was the first time that they had been part
of a formal debate.
The following students were members of the teams
who won debates in this round. Lachlan Boardman,
Katie Gorham, Beth Michelmore and Ashton Mackay
in Year 7. Lucy Koder, Aria Bacic-Johnston, Daniel
Michelmore and Mackinly Zecevic in Year 8. Sam
Aubin (Year 9), Francesca Lambert, Minseo Kang
and Nicole Russo in Year 10. Daniel Dragutinovich,
Jana Massingham, Zara Winter and Noah Koder in
Year 11.
Thanks also to Ella de Graaf-Clark and Lara
Papadimitriou who were dedicated timekeepers
and chairpersons for the evening.
In the visual arts, students are encouraged to enter
various state and national school art competitions
and events. One such event that some of our students
participated in last term was “Operation Art”, an
initiative of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in
association with the New South Wales Department
of Education. The Operation Art Program provides
a forum for schools and students to demonstrate
their visual arts achievements through exhibitions at
the Armory Gallery, Sydney Olympic Park and the
Art Gallery of New South Wales and it also brings
happiness to the children at Westmead Childrens
Hospital https://www.artsunit.nsw.edu.au/visualarts/operation-art-2017
Emily Choi (Year 8) entered in the Operation Art
2017 Touring Exhibition. Her work was one of 50 from
thousands of entries to be selected to be hung at The
Art Gallery of NSW from 12 – 23 April 2017 and then it
will be given to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead
to become part of their permanent collection. Emily
is a keen art student who has attended Art from the
Heart with Mrs Kallinikos throughout her junior years at
TIGS and she continues to study art with Ms Colville.
She has participated in this competition over several
years and was very excited to be selected this year.
We congratulate Emily on her selection and on the
presentation of a special certificate awarded to
her at the Art Gallery and look forward to her future
achievements in Visual Arts.
Over the break, Alex Saddi (Year 10), received the
Australian Scout Medallion, which is the top award
in the Scout section within Australia and awarded
to only the top 5% of Scouts in the country. Alex
is a member of the 1st Bulli Scout Troop and he
earned his award as a Patrol Leader who displayed
outstanding leadership, organisation and drive
along with high-level practical scouting knowledge
and skills. Of particular note, Alex organised a
group of volunteers from the Sandon Point Surf Life
Saving Club and Scouts to restore the gardens and
surrounds of the surf club. Congratulations to Alex for
his commitment to the Scouts.
Also during the Easter break, Daniel Michelmore
represented the School and the Illawarra region at
the National UN Youth Voice competition in Hobart.
This was a transformational experience for Daniel,
his performance and achievement at this national
event was extraordinary. He researched and spoke
about two important topic areas: “How can we
ensure that all Australians have access to adequate
health services?” and “How can we create a fairer
justice system for disadvantaged Australians?”.
Congratulations Daniel.

SENIOR SCHOOL SPORT
AICES Swimming
On Thursday 30 March, TIGS took 24 students to represent NASSA at the AICES Swimming Championships. Our students
produced some wonderful results in the water as a team. Last year we looked to our girls for the points and this year it was the
boy’s turn to help out TIGS Swim Team and maintain the winning culture in the pool. Overall TIGS came away with the most
medals. In the team point score our boys came first and the girls came fourth. It was pleasing to see this year that every age
group in the relays progressed onto swimming at the NSW CIS Championships.
A very big thank you to Mr Edgerton, our bus driver, and Mrs Lane for coordinating the events for the team.

On Monday 3 April, TIGS students Joseph Druett (Year 9),
Finley McLaren (Year 10), Tahlia Collinge (Year 9), Riley
Hanlon (Year 10), Billy Fisher (Year 12) and Michaela McGrath
(Year 12), represented the school at the South Coast All
Schools Surfing Championships at Mollymook Beach.
The championships, held each year, are open to all South
Coast schools and are a qualifying event for the State
Championships held later in the year. After surfing well
against tough opposition, Billy, Riley and Joseph narrowly
missed out on progressing to the finals. Tahlia (Juniors) and
Michaela (Seniors) made the final five in their respective
divisions and Finley won the Junior Male Division and qualified
for the State Championships, a fantastic achievement!
