Principal’s Message

Posted August 27 2009

I have just finished watching an episode of the “World’s Strictest Parents”.  Each week this series monitors two rude, defiant, headstrong teenagers being sent overseas to live with parents who believe in respect for others and firm discipline.  These families are as far afield as the USA, South Africa, Ireland and Singapore.  It is a new world for these young teenagers who have to live by someone else’s rules. These no-nonsense parents have only 7 days to reform these young people.

I must state from the outset that I am not a fan of reality television nor do I spend many hours in front of the TV screen.  Saying that, I guess I am guilty of watching several of these episodes.  Why? Perhaps I watch the show because it makes me realise how wonderful the students are at Huntingtower.  Not that I need a reminder, but the show does reinforce how beautifully behaved and respectful of others your children are.  Perhaps the reason lies in me wanting to pick up a few parenting tips.  Always being eager to learn, I have been interested to figure out what patterns have emerged that could perhaps serve as a guide for parents in general.

The top ten parenting tips I have noticed is:

1.       Tough love: the parents treat the teens as their own.  They explain that they want the best for them and their aim is to improve the teen’s behaviour so that they have a better shot at life.  A warm handshake or a hug is the norm for expressing love.

2.       Consequences: the parents have immediate consequences for poor behaviour or broken rules. These are tough but fair.  There are no empty threats.  I noticed that when parents discuss these issues they stick to the facts and remain pleasant.  Punishment tasks are arduous but have meaning and the children are left alone to contemplate their behaviour.

3.       Consistency: the parents behave with the utmost consistency.  They have definite rules for how young people should behave.  They are firm, fair and loving.

4.       High expectations: these are made clear from the start.  There are no surprises and when these expectations are met, the teens are praised with words and hugs.  Material rewards do not exist. When the kids fall below expectations, this is communicated and a plan of action Is formulated.

5.       Chores around the house: the young people have jobs to every day.  By taking part in household chores, they become part of a community in which each person supports the other.  Even very young children can do simple chores around the house thus forming important lifelong habits of helpfulness.

6.       Community service: often the turning point in the teens’ lives comes when they perform community service (serving at a soup kitchen, helping out at a school for disabled students, assisting at a school for underprivileged children).  In these situations they focus less on themselves and look beyond their own lives.  They begin to put the world in perspective and see the positive impact they can have on others.

7.       Letters: the power of the heartfelt written word is clearly evident when the ‘real’ parents send a letter to their children from home. The parents describe the beautiful child they once knew. Focusing on the positive qualities elicits a realisation in the teen that they are inherently good and can return to the kind of person they know they should be.  The parents also describe the kinds of behaviours they have found hurtful and damaging to the family relationships.  This honesty has a powerful effect on the teens.

8.       Time away from home: please don’t send your 5 year old to a foreign country just yet but the series makes it clear that distance from home offers a unique perspective and absence does make the heart grow fonder.

9.       Strong family: each family member contributes to the welfare of the family.  The families seem cohesive and behave decently to each other.  This type of family environment serves as a strong model to the teens and encourages them to see that children can have a happy life while still following rules and being civil to one another.

10.   Giving it over to God: this is my rule! Life throws us challenges that we simply cannot handle. Handing problems over to God, the all-knowing, all-loving, means that we can be confident the outcome to any issue will be positive.  God is a ‘very present help’ in times of difficulty and we simply need to listen to inspired thoughts.

I’d love to hear your top ten rules for bringing up children!

Music Notes

Posted August 27 2009

WAVERLEY EISTEDDFOD
Hearty congratulations and sincere thanks must be given to the 250 students who participated in the Waverley Eisteddfod.  The high quality of music making and the exceptional standard achieved by every student is amazing.  Hours of hard work and commitment have been given by all students and their individual and combined dedication is thoroughly appreciated.

On Sunday 15 August nearly 250 Huntingtower orchestral musicians from Years 3 to 12 performed magnificently in the Ensemble secctions.  Enormous appreciation is extended to our dedicated, hard working staff, Mrs Cruttenden and her Junior School team who came on a long weekend to support and supervise the Junior students.  Many thanks also to Mr Dry for his interest and support.

On Friday 21 August the Huntingtower Senior Chamber Choir performed beautifully and received an excellent report from the adjudicator.  Hearty congratulations to the choristers and sincere gratitude to Miss Nathan for her thorough and enthusiastic preparation of the choir.

The following results were achieved

  1. 14 years and under Large Ensemble
    1st prize – Huntingtower Middle School Orchestra
  2. 15 years and under Small Ensemble
    1st prize Huntingtower Middle School Piano Trio
    2nd prize Huntingtower Junior Ensemble
  3. 18 years and under Large Ensemble
    1st prize Huntingtower String Orchestra
    2nd prize Huntingtower Concert Band
  4. 21 years and under Small Ensemble
    HM Huntingtower Mendelssohn Quintet

Four other Huntingtower Ensembles performed superbly and received excellent reports and marks from the adjudicator.  The 50 strong Junior Orchestra and the Hungarian String Orchestra (with 50 Senior players) both played with a high degree of musical maturity and expression.  The vocal and string quartet ensemble performed with great integrity and passion and the Middle School Viveldi Ensemble of 8 players, each playing a solo part, was amazing in the clarity of technique which each player produced.
Hearty congratulations to you all!

Congratulations to the following for the wonderful recent events:

  1. to the following students for outstanding individual results at the Waverley Eisteddfod.
    18 years and under Musical Theatre – 1st prize Christian Smith
    18 years and under Vocal Solo – HM Christian Smith
    21 years and under String Solo – HM Shannon Bowen
  2. to the small Citizenship Ensemble who played and sang at the Citizenship Ceremony at the Monash Council Chambers.  This is a very meaningful occasion for many “new” Australian citizens and it is a privilege to be able to attend and take part in the ceremony.
  3. to the Year 8 students who presented a delightful Solo Concert this week.  Every item was thoroughly prepared and presented and a fantastic standard was reached by every performer.
  4. to the Junior chamber Choir who will be performing (as this goes to print) at the Kodaly Choral Festival.  The choir is singing beautifully and will be a brilliant  representative of Huntingtower.  Sincere appreciation is extended to Mrs Anne Wilson for her outstanding work with the Junior choirs.

The book is thoroughly entertaining and demonstrates Professor Hopkin’s warmth and love of not only the incredible work which he does but also of all the people with whom he has come in contact throughout his long, illustrious career.

Dr Jennifer Hill, who is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Music, University of Melbourne, (and who is also wife of Mr Tony Hill and mum of Alex) is a co-editor of the book and we are very fortunate that she will also be at the Camerata concert.

Sharing our Vision

Posted August 27 2009

Sharing our Vision
This week, the School has been well represented at the Bialik 2nd Cultures of Thinking Conference held in association with Harvard Graduate School of Education.  Margaret Jones and Susan Swan attended the conference. We are very pleased that four presentations were offered to the 360 delegates by Huntingtower staff.

 
Margaret Jones presented a carefully prepared paper entitled, “Re-versioning Your Fieldtrip to Gain Long Term Understandings” exploring how she has worked with Harvard’s Teaching for Understanding Framework to lift standards and provide opportunities for deeper thinking.  She illustrated how she has facilitated students to integrate their learning from the Canberra Tour to discover how democracy works.

 

In another interesting presentation, “Improving Students’ Learning Journeys” Susan Swan explored questions teachers should ask students to see if they understand. Through a case studies of her Year 5 students, she offered insight to other teachers about how they can help their students reflect on the quality of their learning.

 

Peter Dry asked delegates if they needed to enliven their classroom and get students thinking more deeply. He offered a range of strategies to apply in the classroom and examined effective teaching. He encouraged teachers to promote inquiry while engaging and enthusing students.

 

I gave our final presentation using my research from the Harvard International Case Study. I explored the story of how Huntingtower has implemented Teaching for Understanding from Prep to Year 12 in association with Harvard’s Post Graduate Online Learning Courses to improve deep reflective practice.

 

It was a most worthwhile professional development experience and one that has allowed many other educators to see what a wonderful School we have.

Principal’s Message

Posted August 14 2009

As parents, we all strive to create a great family in which our partner and children know they are loved – where our children are confident, caring individuals who have a strong set of core values and who always strive to achieve high standards in all they do. We aim to create families in which there are high levels of honesty and trust and members treat each other with respect and understanding. Stephen Covey writes that the flight of an airplane is a perfect metaphor for family life. Before the pilots take off they have a clear flight plan. They know precisely where they’re headed and start off the flight in accordance with their preset plan. But during the flight there is much to contend with; turbulence, wind, air traffic, human mistakes and many other factors. Apparently, these factors cause the plane to move in slightly different directions so that most of the time the plane is not actually on the prescribed path. Small deviations from the flight plan occur and sometimes there are large deviations, though barring anything major, the plane will arrive at its destination. They are able to achieve this feat due to constant communication with the control towers, other airplanes and careful reading of the instruments that give them information about the environment. The pilots make adjustments several times during the flight, always returning to the flight plan. Covey writes, “With regard to our families, it doesn’t make any difference if we are off target or even if our family is a mess. The hope lies in the vision and in the plan and in the courage to keep coming back time and time again.”

What do you do when your family seems to be going through tough times: when the teenager is rebelling (“Everyone else is allowed to drink!”);  when you are struggling to make ends meet; when your child needs constant reminding to make his bed, do her chores or homework; when you’re bouncing between strictness and tolerance being unsure how to discipline; when you feel more like a taxi driver than an appreciated mom; or when the mood in your family is down due to constant bickering, criticising and blaming?

This is when you ensure you know your destination, have a flight plan and a compass. A clear vision of your destination involves creating shared vision and values for your family. This “statement will become your family’s unique ‘destination’ and the values it contains will represent your guidelines.” When your destination is clear you’ll be able to keep returning to the flight plan again and again.

The flight plan, based on the principles that will allow you to reach your destination is essential. These principles ultimately govern all aspects of your life. Covey states that they should become habits or patterns of thinking and doing things. These could include prioritising family time each week, a dinner date with your spouse each month, seeking to understand others before getting them to understand you, promoting a ‘win-win’ paradigm of thought rather than selfish thought, respecting and valuing others’ differences, engaging in mutual problem solving or establishing traditions that nurture family renewal and a spirit of celebration and togetherness.

Finally, the compass is required. This instrument, says Covey, is the inner guidance system. There are four aspects to the compass:  firstly, self awareness that means “we can stand apart from our own life and observe it. We can even observe our thoughts.” The second aspect is our conscience or ‘inner voice’ which gives us moral sense and moral power. Thirdly, we have imagination which is the “ability to envision something entirely different from (our) past experience.” This is when we are able to imagine a much better response to a situation be it a petulant child, a sad partner or loss of an account. Finally we have independent will which is “the power to take action.” We have the power to do or say the right thing. This may be a challenge but we still have the inner strength to choose the better path.

I have always found powerful practical guidance in Covey’s works which is one of the many reasons we have our Year 9 students studying the 7 Habits. With these ideas Covey gives us powerful and practical guidance to find greater meaning and harmony in our personal and family lives.

His ideas are neatly aligned with the writings of Mary Baker Eddy who says that we have an even greater guiding force in our lives, Divine Love. She wrote in Science and Health, “Love inspires, illumines, designates and leads the way.” I always find solace in this statement. It takes me back to the airplane analogy. While we are in the clouds the journey is choppy, uncomfortable and gloomy. However, once the plane climbs in altitude and rises above the dull clouds we find ourselves travelling smoothly in beautiful blue sky. I believe that with Covey’s practical ideas and Mrs Eddy’s reminder that God always shows us the way and guides us with love, we can raise our thinking above the turbulence in our lives to find the peace in the clear blue skies which is the knowledge that God, is ever present and always at hand to direct us.

COSI Interval Suppers

Deb Davey is to be congratulated for organising the lovely interval suppers for this year’s senior school production, COSI.  We were all enjoyed the delicious slices and biscuits, in particular the specially made “COSI” cupcakes!  Deb was on hand all three nights to organise the suppers and would also like to thank the willing volunteers who helped serve each night.


Yr 11 Pantry Stall

The PTA Committee would love to thank two fantastic Yr 11 mums, Veronica Maier and Sunita Patwala for stepping forward to manage the Pantry Stall.  Also, we’re delighted that so many Yr 11 parents have offered their help on the day.  Debbie Jones has been busily making preserves, with over 300 jars filled already!  If anyone in the school community has fruit or vegetables suitable for preserves that they would like to donate to the cause, would you please contact Debbie at mdrc_jones@hotkey.net.au.

 

Note from Debbie:  If anyone has some herbs growing, would they please consider making little bundles tied with string or elastic just before the fete and deliver them to the pantry stall.  Fresh herbs will look great on the stall.  I know I am getting in early, but the early bird…

 

Also, if anyone makes their own spice mixes or cha, would they please make some jars up for the pantry stall?  Just a few of each would add interest to the stall.

 

Would anyone like to make sauce?  I have some bottles and tall, skinny jars we can use for these.  I am not sure I will get time to make these.

Piano to good home

Posted August 14 2009

The Boarding House has an old piano in their recreation room which they no longer require and want to give it away to a good home at no charge.  Whoever wants it would need to arrange transport to have it removed by 22 August.  It can be inspected after school.
