Message from the Headmaster
Welcome back to another exciting term of learning at Wollondilly Anglican College. As always, this term will be full of opportunities for learning, growing, and maturing as young men and women.
During times of busyness or personal challenges, we can sometimes experience feelings of stress or anxiety. It's essential to recognize that almost everyone experiences periods of stress, sadness or anxiety, and it is significantly healthier to talk about it and address it than to keep it all hidden inside. At Wollondilly Anglican College, we are thankful for the caring staff who are available to students who need someone to talk to, as well as the supportive culture of our students who demonstrate care and understanding for each other.
In addition to the important support we receive from others, we can also take steps to improve our own mental health. Two practices that are highly valuable in helping to manage anxiety or sadness are mindfulness and relaxation techniques. These are skills that can be developed, and we encourage families to talk about them and support their children to practice them (as they become old enough to do so).
Mindfulness is a practice that involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It helps us to become more aware of our thoughts and feelings and to accept them without getting caught up in them. Mindfulness can be particularly beneficial for students as it can help to reduce stress and anxiety, increase focus and concentration, and improve overall well-being. To get started with mindfulness, try this brief mindfulness exercise.
- Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit where you won't be disturbed for a few minutes
- Sit with your back straight but relaxed and your feet flat on the ground
- Close your eyes or lower your gaze to a spot on the ground in front of you
- Take a deep breath in through your nose, hold it for a few seconds, and then exhale slowly through your mouth
- Begin to pay attention to your breath. Notice the sensation of the air entering and leaving your body. Observe how your chest and belly rise and fall with each inhale and exhale
- If your mind begins to wander, simply notice the thought and then gently bring your focus back to your breath
- Continue to observe your breath for a few more minutes. You may notice your breath slowing down and your body relaxing
- When you're ready, slowly open your eyes or raise your gaze and take a moment to notice how you feel
Relaxation techniques include activities such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization. These techniques can help students to reduce tension and promote feelings of calm and relaxation, which can be particularly helpful during times of high stress. To get started with relaxation techniques, try this brief visualisation exercise.
- Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can sit or lie down without any disturbance
- Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax your body and mind
- Imagine a peaceful and serene place that makes you feel calm and happy. It could be a beach, a mountain, a forest, or any place that makes you feel relaxed
- Visualize yourself in that peaceful place. Imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of that place. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, the cool breeze on your face, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, or the chirping of birds in the forest
- Focus on your breathing and imagine inhaling positivity and exhaling negativity. With each breath, imagine the stress and tension leaving your body, and your mind becoming clearer and more relaxed
- Stay in this peaceful place as long as you need to feel calm and rejuvenated. When you're ready, slowly open your eyes and take a few more deep breaths before getting up.
Developing effective stress management skills is also essential for good mental health. Encouraging students to practice stress management skills, such as exercise, time management, and prioritization, can help them to cope with stress in a healthy way.
In addition to the techniques above, the most valuable way that I cope with stress is to hand over my concerns to God through prayer. 1 Peter 5:7 encourages us to cast all our cares upon Him because He cares for you. He is an ever-present help, a source of peace and a faithful Father who will never leave us or forsake us
As we begin this new term, we encourage our students to take some time to reflect on their own mental health and well-being. Consider incorporating mindfulness, relaxation techniques or prayer into your daily routine.

Year 7 Elevate Education Session
This week students in Year 7 attended an incursion by Elevate Education in which they were taught how to develop important study skills and time management techniques. One of the biggest challenges that can be faced by a Year 7 student when they start their time in the Secondary Years at the College is the ability to manage and complete a range of homework and assessment tasks for a variety of subject areas. During the session, students were given some helpful tips. Below are some of the students' thoughts regarding these tips:
- I should do homework before leisure activities
- I should do the homework I least enjoy first, rather than leaving it to the last
- Time management is important to ensure I stay on top of my work
- 15 minutes – 30 minutes of revision is helpful to help consolidate what I have learnt in class
- It is helpful to split assignments into four main areas: Research, Organise, Write, Present
Year 8 into Year 9 2024 – Subject Information Booklet
Our current Year 8 students have been given a Subject Information Booklet which has a variety of course information about their possible Elective choices for 2024. This has been deliberately given to students early so they can start having important conversations with teachers and also parents about future pathways and subject choices. Students will attend an information session at the College to hear more about these subjects on Wednesday, 14 June and following that, an opportunity for parents to attend an information evening with their child on the same night starting at 7.00 pm in the Warne Auditorium. Students who were absent when these booklets were given out can access their copies at Student Reception.
Year 10 into Year 11 2024 – Subject Information Booklet
Our current Year 10 students were equally excited to receive their information booklet regarding their subject choices for 2024. Our Year 10 students will undergo a two-day program to hear about subject choices, how to ensure they maintain balance during their time in Stage 6 and information on various pathway options. This program will be held at the College and will occur on Tuesday, 6 and Wednesday, 7 June with a parental information session also being held at 7.00 pm in the Warne Auditorium. Students who did not receive a copy of the Information Booklet can collect one from Student Reception.

Ensembles/Groups Term 2
We have hit the ground running this term with our Performing Arts Ensembles and Groups. Our Groups are right back into the swing of things and continue to work towards fantastic performance opportunities in the not-too-distant future.
As this is a new term, you might be considering involvement in one of our Ensembles and Groups. Best practice with joining an Ensemble or Group should include the following elements:
- A conversation between the student and their parents - this provides a great opportunity for discussion regarding time management and the importance of committing to an Ensemble or Group
- A conversation between the student and the Ensemble/Group Leader (or myself) - this gives the Leader an opportunity to provide the student with any additional information that might not already be known to the student
- The Leader will add the student's name to the Group list/roll and parents may be notified with any additional information or permission slip via the WAC App
Please see our Term schedules below for both Primary and Secondary Ensembles - NOTE: some groups are FULL and will not be accepting new students at this time:
Upcoming Events - WAC Crew

College Chaplain - Resourcefulness
The College Learner Disposition focus for Term 2 is Resourcefulness. This is a habit that we are working on developing and cultivating in our students, their learning, their character and also in their faith.
During the holidays my wife and I began watching a TV series called Alone Australia. We've been really enjoying it, the premise is contestants compete to see who can last the longest on their own in the Australian wilderness. In the last episode, we watched and were amazed at a contestant named Mike who made his own kayak in order to try and fish in deeper water. He chopped down trees and then shaped the timber into a kayak before using a dry bag type material as the base of the kayak. He then made his own paddle and took the fishing rod that, yep you guessed it, he made, out on the water to try and catch some fish. His resourcefulness was remarkable - he didn't have a wasteful attitude and therefore used his time effectively.
This caused me to reflect on how I'm using my time. It caused me to reflect on the fact that we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus in order to do the good works He has prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10). I think a key factor in this is not having a wasteful attitude and utilising the time God has given us effectively. It made me consider these questions, Am I using the time God has given me wisely and resourcefully, or am I neglecting the talents and skills God has blessed me with? I want to pose the same question to you - How are you using your time, wisely or wastefully?

ANZAC Day
Thank you to the many students and staff who participated in a range of Services and Marches to mark and commemorate ANZAC Day. Thank you also to the parents who helped to make this day possible.
The participation of so many young people is very encouraging and is greatly appreciated by the organisers, the returned servicemen and servicewomen present and the communities in which the events took place.
A large number of students from Years T-12 and staff participated in the March and Service at Picton. Jessica Fraser of Year 12 read the Lord’s Prayer during the Service, Mrs Evans represented the College by delivering the benediction, and our College Captains Jess Fraser and Emmett Shafer laid the wreath.
Four students participated heavily at the Bargo Sports Club ANZAC service, with Hannah Sultana and Shelby Luppino leading the service and Alec Bennet and Jessica Fraser speaking on the meaning of ANZAC Day to them.
A number of students attended the Camden Dawn Service and March, with Ben Napier and Verity Frederiksen laying the wreath.
ANZAC addresses were conducted at the Hill Top Dawn Service by Hannah White of Year 12 and the Thirlmere Dawn Service by Shelby Luppino.
Three students attended Taara Gardens, RSL LifeCare Nursing Home at Thirlmere on Monday, taking part in the Commemoration Service where Shelby Luppino, Hannah White and Emmett Shafer conducted the ANZAC Address. Two students also attended the John Goodlet Manor, RSL LifeCare Nursing Home service, with the College Captains reading A Brown Slouch Hat.
Our staff and students also participated in both the Dawn Service and March at Mittagong.

Year 12 Hospitality - Work Placement
In the second week of the holidays, five students from Year 12 Hospitality were able to complete their final Work Placement. Students had the opportunity to go out and spend time in the Industry where they were able to apply the skills they have learnt during the Hospitality Course. I would like to commend the following students on the way they conducted themselves whilst on Work Placement. Each student had positive feedback from their host employer and conducted themselves professionally. I would also like to acknowledge the host employers who worked with our students for the week and gave them an invaluable learning experience.
- Mathew Eagles – Camden Valley Inn
- Bailey Dodds – George IV Picton
- Hannah White – Gumnut Patisserie Mittagong
- Kaden Warren – Campbelltown Golf Club
- Chloe Fitzgerald – Dolce e Salato Italian Café and Restaurant Camden

Year 10 Food Tech - Term 1
During Term 1, Year 10 Food Technology have been completing a unit on Food Product Development. Their Assessment task for this unit involved students designing their own unique Food Truck, complete with the specific type of food that the truck would sell. They then began designing the menu, and as part of the task were required to cook two serves of one of the menu items complete with the packaging of the items in the manner they would be sold to customers. The students did a fantastic job embracing the challenge of the task. All of the dishes that were produced and packaged during the cooking element of the task were absolutely delicious according to our taste testing panel and are a credit to the student’s enthusiasm and hard work.

Year 12 CAFS - Virtual Baby
Year 12 CAFS students are commencing their study of “Parenting and Caring”. As part of this unit, they are learning about the roles and responsibilities of parents/carers and how to prepare to be a parent/carer. To help reinforce their learning and simulate concepts addressed in class, students have the opportunity to be a parent for a weekend by caring for a virtual baby. They are required to attend to the baby’s needs by settling, changing nappies, feeding, burping, changing clothes and ensuring its temperature is regulated. The virtual baby/simulator measures the level of care provided in these areas as well as the number of mishandles (eg head support). At the end of the process, students are given a simulation report that gives them a score. More importantly, they have the opportunity to reflect on the rewarding parts of the experience; the challenging parts of the experience and what roles and skills are required by a parent/carer to enhance the wellbeing of the dependent and themselves. The process starts this weekend and will conclude in Week 9.

PDHPE: Year 7 Participation in E-cigarette Research Study
The College, through the PDHPE faculty, are participating in a research study conducted by The University of Sydney (The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use) on e-cigarettes or what is commonly known as vaping. The rapid rise in e-cigarette use, particularly among young people, has become a concern. There is a need to provide quality and effective education on wise and healthy choices related to vaping. The research study is evaluating an educational intervention program targeting Stage 4 (Year 7 & Year 8) students. Wollondilly Anglican College has been chosen as a control school for Year 7, meaning that students will not participate in the intervention education program but will continue their regular PDHPE program, which does cover vaping, completing periodic questionnaires about their knowledge, understanding and attitude towards vaping. The first of these questionnaires will be conducted in PDHPE classes in Week 3 or Week 4 of this term.
A letter has been emailed home to Year 7 parents. Parents who do not want their child to participate in the research are to complete the form at the back of the letter and return it to me.
Mr Josh Hewitt
Leader of Learning - PDHPE
Term 2 Secondary PE Lessons
Years 7-10 PDHPE students have designated PE (Practical) lessons. These are shown in the timetable below, which has not changed since last term. Students are to wear their Sports Uniform to the College on these designated days. Students who do an Elective course, Physical Activity and Sports Studies (Years 9 & 10) or Sports, Lifestyle and Recreation (Year 11) are required to bring their Sports Uniform to the College to get changed. Students have been informed via email, Assemblies, Edumate Broadcasts and via their classroom teacher. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact me or their classroom teacher.
A reminder that students require their Sports Hat for each PE/practical lesson and must have sports shoes, not flat-soled casual shoes (eg Nike Airforce).
If there is a reason why students cannot participate in PE/practical lessons, a note is to be written in the College Diary.

Leader of Learning - PDHPE
Family Chapel - Term 2
Term 1 has flown by and coming up early in Term 2 is our first Secondary Family Chapel for the year. This Family Chapel is for Students in Years 7-9 and their families and will be held on Thursday, 11 May from 6.00 pm - 7.00 pm. All students and parents in these Year Groups are encouraged to attend. It is important that students attending wear their full College Winter Uniform. Rolls will be marked on the night and students who attend issued with a Community Service Merit.
The Secondary Family Chapel will be a great opportunity to gather together and hear about how God is working in the lives of students here at Wollondilly Anglican College. It'll be a chance for us to gather together and be encouraged by God's word.
There will also be an opportunity to continue to bless our broader community. Donations of gold coins or non-perishable foods are welcomed. These will be used by the WAC Kids Care team to prepare meals for those in our community experiencing hardship. Additionally, House points will be allocated to students who attend and these points will go towards the Overall House Shield.
Prior to the commencement of the evening, a BBQ dinner will be served from 5.00 pm. All parents and students are encouraged to join us for the BBQ from this time.

The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is open to all NSW students in Kindergarten to Year 10. The books your child reads this year need to be logged on the site by Friday, 18 August. Each student has an individual login, and those who complete receive a participation certificate each year. Students who complete four challenges receive a Gold Certificate and seven challenges completed receive a Platinum Certificate. Further, if a student completes all challenges from Years 3-9, they receive the PRC Medal and a letter from the NSW Premier. Click here for more details.

If parents would like their child to complete the PRC, they can add books that they read at home to their child’s online record. Please email j.colombo@wac.nsw.edu.au and I will provide your child’s login details and instructions on how to do that. Years K-2 can either read or be read to for the PRC.
