“The definition of insanity according to Einstein is “keeping on doing the same thing and expecting a different result”
At the end of each day, write down at least 5 things that you are grateful for. Gratitude is one of the most powerful attitudes we can have to change our experience for the better. When we spend our time thinking of what we are grateful for, we begin to see the good that is really in our lives instead of focussing on the negative trivia that we can so easily become caught up in. Expressing gratitude for our home, family, car, job, country, bed, food etc., may sound flippant but if done regularly, preferably written down or said aloud, will change our outlook, our inlook and ultimately our lives.
Give it a try!
You will all have noticed the great progress with the building of the new Sport and Fitness Centre. It is intended that the roof will go on before the holidays so that the sand can be excavated while the students are away on holiday. This is certainly something to be grateful for. We are going to have a splendid new facility that will serve the entire community. I would like to thank all those who have already supported the project financially and would like to remind those who are still thinking about it that all contributions to the building fund are tax deductible. We still need to raise a considerable amount to cover the shortfall on the Federal Government grant. Close to $2 million will need to be raised. If you or your company are interested in contributing and would like to have your or your company’s name represented, please speak to Rob Kitchingman or to me. As has been done with the Hockey Astroturf, a list of contributors will be shown on a gratitude board outside or on the wall of the new building. All contributions, large or small will be gratefully accepted.
Our new PTA Committee was elected at the Annual General Meeting last week and it gives me pleasure to introduce the 2010 members to you. Brett Stringer (President), Catherine Jenkins ( Secretary), Bernadette Day & Dorothy Renai (Co-Treasurers), Phil Bradwell, Sharee Charrett, Debbie Davey, Debbie Jones, Kamal Unvala. We are very grateful to all the members of the committee and look forward to all the wonderful work they will do this year and in the years to come.
The PTA presented the school with a contribution of $34000 towards the new building and we are very grateful for their continual support and hard work.
The Senior School House Music Festival is underway and on Monday night we were treated to some solo instrumental performances of the highest calibre. Congratulations to all performers for their preparation and for the way in which they entertained us.
Thursday night will see the Grand Finale with all the large Choirs, House Orchestras and House Chamber Choirs. Congratulations to all the House Music Captains on their hard work and to the students for their positive contributions. I hope to see you all at the event.
You may have received a letter about interim reports this term. There may be some confusion. Due to the very short term, it has been decided that in Years 7 to 10, the interim report will be substituted with a Parent/Teacher interview. Students in the Junior School and those in Years 11 and 12 will still receive interim reports. This is related to the number of times a teacher sees your child in the 6 weeks leading up to the week in which they would be writing the report. We do not feel that they will have much validity. However, in the Junior School and with students in Years 11 and 12, teachers spend considerably more time each day with each student and consequently a valid interim comment can be prepared.
I hope this clarifies the matter rather than muddying the water even further.

This is your chance to get involved with your child’s school in a friendship-building, unifying and useful way by being part of the team for this year’s Fete. Our class will be running the Silent Auction, and although sourcing the items for this stall is a whole-school endeavour, we need a leader to coordinate, and a group to assist with the finer details. Everyone’s help is appreciated, and you certainly don’t need to be a Huntingtower expert to be the right person for the job! Please contact Catherine Jenkins (catherine.jenkins@iinet.net.au) if you are available to help out.
AGM & new Committee
The Annual General Meeting for the PTA was on Monday the 22 February 2010 in the PAC. We were delighted with the turnout of both interested parents and teachers. Minutes will be distributed to all class and fete reps for your information.

Existing members continuing on the Committee for this year include Brett Stringer (President), Debbie Jones, Deb Davey, Bernadette Day (co-Treasurer), Dorothy Renai (co-Treasurer) and Catherine Jenkins (Secretary).

Posted March 04 2010SENIOR HOUSE MUSIC FESTIVAL
First evening
HOUSE MUSIC SENIOR SOLO CONCERT
This wonderful concert featured 40 magnificent performances from students from Years 7 to 12 with a large range of works performed on many different instruments and voice. It was a very exciting opportunity to hear some of the amazing array of talent within the Senior School.
The adjudicator, Mr Errol Fernando, spoke very eloquently about the value of encouragement apparent at Huntingtower beginning with the wonderful example of our Principal, Mr Bowen and moving throughout the school to the students who are so encouraging of each other. Mr Fernando praised not only the high standard of performance but also the high quality of commitment and presentation demonstrated by the students. Hearty congratulations to all involved!
Second evening
HOUSE MUSIC SOLO AND INSTRUMENTAL ENSEMBLES CONCERT
This was another wonderful concert in which each House was represented by 6 soloists and an Instrumental Ensemble. The performers were all outstanding and every soloist had spent countless hours working to perfect his/her art. Likewise the members of the Instrumental Ensembles had worked individually and then as an ensemble to create a perfect union of voices and musical style.
The adjudicator, Professor John Hopkins OBE spoke about the wonderful standard of performance and the great importance of the future when the students will take their musical expertise into the wider community. Once again hearty congratulations to all involved for an amazing concert!
Third evening
HOUSE ORCHESTRAS, CHOIRS AND CHAMBER CHOIRS PLUS LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT
By the time this Bulletin is posted this spectacular concert will be over so a full report will be given in the next Bulletin.
Hearty congratulations though to the House Music Captains, Light Entertainment Directors and to all the students for the amazing work which has been done in 4 short weeks – it has been an extremely exciting, enjoyable experience!
INSTRUMENTAL AND THEORY LESSONS
Most lessons have commenced and great progress is being made! It will not be long before students who have just started an orchestral instrument will become part of one of the orchestras, Little Symphony or Concert Band. It is great fun and extremely rewarding so if you would like to learn an instrument and would like to look at and try some of the available instruments please contact Mrs Bramble (BH 9807 8888 AH 9803 7701 or email lbramble@huntingtower.vic.edu.au) It is not too late to try and all students from Years Prep to 12 are very welcome.
Unfortunately there are no saxophones or flutes left but you may like to try a shiny trumpet or oboe or bassoon (these instruments would suit olders students from Years 6 to 12).
If you have have already put in a Music Tuition form and have not had a lesson yet the lessons should start very soon. There has been a slight delay with the service and return of some instruments and some of the instrumental teachers have been touring overseas and interstate. There has also been a delay with clarinet and saxophone lessons but students waiting for these lessons will be contacted very soon. Sincere apologies for the delay.
Theory lessons at all AMEB levels are available on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after school so please speak to Mrs Bramble if you are interested.
SOLO CONCERTS
At least one solo concert and sometimes two are held for each year level throughout the year. There are also special concerts for players in Years Prep, 1 and 2. Short solo concerts are also held for players from any year level throughout the school. These are especially useful for students who are preparing for exams, eisteddfods or auditions and would like more opportunities to perform.
Our first solo concert was our wonderful House Music Festival Senior Solo Concert held 2 weeks ago where we heard 40 amazing performances from students in Years 7 to 12 followed by the House Music Solo and Ensemble Concert with another 21 amazing performances. The next solo concert is for Year 5 and 6 String Players (concerts for piano and wind players are later in the year) on Thursday 25 March at 6pm in the Orchestral Room.
Many more solo concerts will be held next term and during these coming holidays there will be opportunities for exam students to perform so please contact me (Lynley Bramble BH 9807 8888 AH 9803 7701 or email lbramble@huntingtower.vic.edu.au) if you would like to perform.
HUNTINGTOWER ORCHESTRAS/CONCERT BAND
From the first week of Term 1 the three House Orchestras and the Junior Orchestra have been rehearsing enthusiastically. The House Orchestras involved every instrumentalist in the Senior School (Years 7 to 12) and these performers will now play in the Senior Orchestra, Middle School Orchestra and/or the Concert Band (for every woodwind/brass player from Years 7 to 12.)
Senior Orchestra will have rehearsals every Friday morning at 7.50am in the Orchestral Room commencing on Friday 12 March. Please check the orchestral lists posted around the school. Full attendance is required please.
Concert Band will have rehearsals every Thursday morning at 7.50am in the Orchestral Room commencing on Thursday 18 March.
Middle School Orchestra has already started and will continue rehearsals at 12noon every Friday.
Junior Orchestra involves every player from Years 3 to 6 and Little Symphony (Years Prep, 1 and 2) will commence in mid Term 2. All these instrumental ensembles (plus smaller groups such as string orchestras, brass ensembles, stage band and chamber group) are a great source of enjoyment, fun, social interaction between students of all ages and intellectual stimulation creating a sense of belonging and self worth.
It is not too late to join!! If you are interested in learning an instrument and would like to investigate the possibility please don’t hesitate to contact Lynley Bramble (BH 9807 8888 AH 9803 7701 or email lbramble@huntingtower.vic.edu.au) These coming holidays may be a great time to arrange to come and have a try out of some instruments – looking forward to seeing you!
HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS..
To the quartet who performed recently at a dinner at the Windsor Hotel organised by past parents Tony and Jewel Gilham to whom we are very grateful. Our students were very well received and the enjoyed the opportunity to play in such regal surroundings, eat a delicious high tea and receive a large box of chocolates each!

Posted March 04 2010At the end of last year the HT Maths Department won a draw at the annual Maths conference. They were awarded 5 Casio Classpad 330 Calculators, valued at around $200 each.
Unfortunately they are not the calculators that we use here at school.
We are offering these calculators for sale at $175 each. Please take note that they cannot be used by students here at Huntingtower. However if you are aware of anyone who would like one of these please contact the school office 9807 8888.
Many thanks

Posted February 19 2010Thought for the week
“Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.”
Albert Einstein
The generic use of the term “man” in the above quote reminds us that when the bible and other literature that was written years ago use this term, it includes male and female. It is not saying that men should be people of value and women don’t need to be. It is including everyone.
The first book of the bible refers to God making “man” in his own image and likeness, “male and female created he them”.
At Huntingtower we place a lot of emphasis on the creation of man in God’s image and likeness, because that means that everyone expresses, reflects or is the emanation of whatever God is. Since God is Love, every child is loving, kind and thoughtful. We expect them to express these qualities at all times without exception. When we realise that this is the true nature of each child, it is not possible to have violence, aggression and bullying because these are not qualities of God. Mary Baker Eddy says “It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood of man will be established.”
Our vision for Huntingtower in 2010 includes having students who embody the above qualities in all their daily activities; children who do not use foul language, act rudely or present themselves inappropriately; children who see good in others and in themselves. This is what we seem to have. Our children are all divine and I know that they will aspire to greatness.
Last night I attended the first night of our House Music Festival and was extremely impressed by the high standard of performance. We have so many wonderfully talented musicians in our school. The range of instruments was wonderful to see. They included piano, flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, guitar, bassoon, and voice. Congratulations to all the performers on their splendid effort and thanks to Mrs Bramble and the adjudicator Mr Errol Fernando. All parents are encouraged to attend the second and third nights of this music festival. The solo and small ensemble evening in on Monday 1 March and the final night which includes the large choirs and orchestras is at the Besen Centre on Thursday 4 March.
Our Year 11 group leave on Saturday morning for the Broken Hill – Plumbago expedition and together with the 16 adult supervisors, will have a wonderful time. It looks like the weather will be good (fairly hot) and not wet.
All Parents are invited to attend the PTA AGM on Monday 22 February at 7.30pm. The meeting will be held in the Performing Arts Centre and should be over by 8.30pm. Please come along to hear from your PTA representatives and also to possibly become involved in future activities. I look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you to the PTA committee for arranging such a pleasant welcome to parents. The new parents who came to the Sausage sizzle enjoyed meeting everyone. We had good music and amazing sausages. Thank you for coming.
You will have noticed that progress has been made with the Sports and Fitness Centre. We are now waiting for the steel manufacturers to complete the frame. We are hoping that this will be erected in the next few weeks and that the roof will be on by the end of term.

Fete 2010
Our annual school Fete will be held on Saturday the 6 November this year. We’re hoping to have a “county fair” type theme, linking back to the wish of many to have more homemade produce at the Fete this year (eg: toffee apple, jams, etc).
We have been delighted that so many classes put their hands up this year for particular stalls. Please find below the list of the stalls by class.
- Cakes – 3yo Pre-Prep
- Plants – 4yo Pre-Prep
- Ticket Booth/Drinks/Animals (Prep – Shani Finlayson )
- Second Hand Clothes – (Y1).
- Kid’s Crafts (Yr 2 – Lia D’arcy)

AGM & Committee Vacancies
The Annual General Meeting for the PTA will be held on Monday the 22 February 2010 in the PAC. We’d be delighted for any interested parents or teachers to attend.
We would love to hear from anyone who would be keen to join our Committee. We have a lot of fun at our meetings and we are hoping for a couple of enthusiastic parents to get involved. The Committee is seeking 2 new members this year. Please contact Catherine Jenkins at catherine.jenkins@iinet.net.au if you are interested, we’d love to hear from you!
Changes to the PTA Constitution
For those of you who have read the PTA Constitution, it’s a rather wordy and out of date document. In the hope of making it more useful for future committees, we’ve taken the opportunity to prepare a set of amendments are going to be put forward at the AGM on the 22nd of February.
In summary, these include:
- Areas pertaining to membership to reflect current membership (parents) but leaving it open to teachers and representatives if they are interested as well as past students and parents of past students.
- Removal of areas referring to exact numbers for voting as these sections have become irrelevant very quickly.
- Requirement for an independent audit of the P&L and bank reconciliation
We would like to leave the name as the “PTA” rather than “PA” as although parents make up current membership, the door is always open for teachers and school reps to join if they are interested.
If you would like a full copy of the proposed amendments, please contact Catherine Jenkins at catherine.jenkins@iinet.net.au.
Class Reps and Fete Reps
The PTA would like to thank the class reps and fete reps who will be returning in 2010, as well as the new reps who have agreed to get involved this year!
For many year levels, class reps and fete reps have not yet been finalised. It would be wonderful to see some enthusiastic parents step forward to offer their support this year. If you would like to help, please contact catherine.jenkins@iinet.net.au.

Posted February 19 2010HUNTINGTOWER ORCHESTRAL PROGRAM
Many students from Years Prep – 12 learn orchestral instruments and participate in various ensembles throughout the school.
Little Symphony Years Prep – 2
Junior Orchestra Years 3 – 6
Senior Orchestra Years 7 – 12
Middle School Orchestra Years 7 – 9
Concert Band Years 7 – 12
String Orchestra Senior, Middle, Junior Schools
Various year level Orchestras
Small Ensembles (Brass Ensemble, Stage Band, String Quartets etc.
The players enjoy the excitement of performing together and they develop a high level of concentration, responsiveness and alertness which is then channelled into their academic performance. Every year many of Huntingtower’s top VCE students are also musicians (in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008 all students with ENTER scores over 99 were in the orchestra!) and during the presentation of academic awards for any year level the orchestral chairs seem to be empty! There are many wonderful extra curricular activities available including opportunities to attend State Music Camps and to participate in many fine youth orchestras when sufficient proficiency is attained. All students at Huntingtower who learn orchestral instruments can participate in an ensemble as soon as a small degree of proficiency is achieved. At some times some advanced piano students are involved in the percussion sections of the orchestras but unfortunately it is impossible to involve all piano students as only a small number of percussion players are needed.
If you do not play an instrument, now is the ideal time to start! Instruments are available to suit the needs of students throughout the school so please don’t hesitate to speak to Mrs Lynley Bramble (Director of Music) at school (Music Centre – Room MU8) or ring her after hours (9803 7701) or email lbramble@huntingtower.vic.edu.au to discuss the availability or suitability of various instruments. An instrument tuition form can be downloaded from the Huntingtower website – go to ‘Your School’ followed by ‘Parents’ then ‘Forms and Notices’. This need only be filled out by students who wish to start an instrument.
Perhaps you may consider a jazzy double bass, a shiny French horn, trumpet or trombone, an oboe or bassoon, viola, violin or ‘cello – there are many possibilities so do come along and have a go!

ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED, HAVING A 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY PARTY OR ORGANISING A BUSINESS DINNER?
Members of the Huntingtower String Orchestra would be very willing to provide a small (or large) ensemble to play beautiful music in a wide varity of styles at any occasion. They have a very comprehensive “gig”folder that includes many special requests. A small fee would be charged as fundraising for the Huntingtower Instrumental Account. A quartet will be performing at the Windsor Hotel in February at a special business dinner. This was at the kind invitation of a past parent.
