s SUMMARY OF GOVERNING COUNCIL BUSINESS 6 MAY 2014The meeting began with a guided tour of the new building, taking in the multi-function areas, classrooms and science laboratories with their flexible floor plans. The Council is thrilled with how it has turned out and the effort that has gone into the landscaping and new access paths which all enhance the school. The parent community is encouraged to go and have a look at this new facility if they haven’t done so already. The Council commends the staff and students who took part in the Mt Gambier Generations in Jazz competitions for the high level of achievement by the musicians and the support shown by students of each other.

The Principal reported on progress with stage 2 of the building program with work done on E Block and arrangements for when work needs to start on A Block. The library has moved to the ground floor of E Block. Students will be reminded that the library is open and encouraged to use it.

The Finance Sub-Committee requested that approval of the Finance Report be held over to the next meeting as more detail is required on some line items.

The Council is concerned with the weight of the school bags carried by students. It will be reviewing this issue and looking for strategies to improve the situation.

May 17 was the International Day Against Homophobia. The day is significant to many people, and represents an opportunity to celebrate diversity and to reflect on our language, behaviour and attitudes. At Marryatville High School we aim to make all students, teachers and visitors feel safe, welcome and included regardless of their gender identity.

To this end, on Friday May 16 the Marryatville High School community acknowledged IDAHO Day with rainbow bridge drawn in chalk from the Forge steps to the Amphitheatre. The SRC organised rainbow bread and drinks to celebrate the occasion.

Many students participated in drawing the bridge, walking across it with their friends and dancing to hits of the 60’s.

The celebrations were initiated by the SRC and it was encouraging to see so many of our students engage in this activity in such a mature and responsible manner.

Well done to all.

VISUAL ARTS FACULTY 2014This year, the Visual Arts faculty comprises of Leon Blackman, Jan Beyer, Suzy Kidd (replacing Leonie Sawley while she is on leave), Sheryl Morgan, Maeve O’Hara and Glenys Haensel.

VISUAL ARTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR MARRYATVILLE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTSVisual Arts students at Marryatville High School are given opportunities to further their visual arts experiences by participating in creative activities both within and outside of the art rooms.The Visual Arts faculty has organised and conducted numerous excursions to visit various exhibitions throughout the year and during the Adelaide Festival of Arts and the Adelaide Fringe, including the Art Gallery of South Australia, the SAMSTAG, Adelaide Central School of Art, Torrens Parade Drill Hall, Light Square Gallery, Flinders University Art Museum and the Migration Museum. Lasting impressions of interesting and compelling works of art were seen at the 2014 SACE Art Show, Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition 2014 and of course the blockbuster and impressive exhibition, 2014 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art – DARK HEART.

Students engaged with the art works on display and expanded their understanding and awareness of how art works are created and perhaps more importantly, why they are created and what is being communicated. Students were able to participate in a workshop in the purpose-built ‘Studio’, responding to artworks seen, following their visits to the DARK HEART exhibition.

During March, students attended a Senior Secondary Student Forum to hear from recent graduates and see examples of art works, folios and visual studies, and to get a clearer understanding of the SACE requirements. Isobel Waters, graduate from 2013, was one of the selected presenters in the Student Forum. Also in May, several senior Visual Arts students attended the Art Gallery of South Australia where they participated in full day workshops of Life Drawing and Self Portraiture. The drawing workshops extend student learning with expert tuition provided by key South Australian visual artists in the areas of observation, composition, use of media, line, tone and proportion. This was a great opportunity for students to extend both their drawing skills and build their art portfolios. These students will also be invited to submit their art works for the annual Secondary Student Drawing Exhibition during the SALA Festival in August.

EXTENSION ART PROGRAMThis year we intend to offer a workshop lead by professional artist Julia Robinson, who is an Adelaide based visual artist working in the field of sculpture and installation. Her work stems from an enduring interest in various human responses. She draws inspiration from a multitude of sources including myths and legends, poems, Bible passages and European and Scandinavian folklore. If you were fortunate to view the DARK HEART exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia, you may recall her installation work in the purpose built Studio. You may like to look at her website http://julia-robinson.net to appreciate the scope of her creative work.

We can tell by her selection to be in the Biennial, that she is a highly respected local young artist, and we here at Marryatville High School are very privileged to have her as our Extension Art professional artist presenter.

Beginning late this term, students will have the opportunity to take part in Extension Art workshops after school. Students involved will extend and develop their creative skills and be exposed to new experiences in the world of art.

This is a timely opportunity for interested participants to collect any old and unwanted interesting objects and items (such as kettles, clocks, umbrellas, crockery, garden implements, broken machinery parts, chairs, toys, etc) that you may consider as hard rubbish. We need objects to inform the sculptural work (responding to the shape and function), to be done in the Extension Art workshop. Please feel free to drop off items into the art and design area over the next few weeks.

‘Learning programs offered by the Art Gallery provide rich opportunities for students’ learning about the Visual Arts.

An excursion to the Gallery is always exciting and real for students. Connections are made from viewing and engaging with works of art and students have greater appreciation and awareness of how and why an artist creates. Students’ understanding and subsequent responding is vivid in making art works and communicating ideas back in the art room.

My students still speak of their experiences from past exhibitions such as Patricia Piccinini : Once upon a time... and HEARTLAND, as enthralling and memorable.

As a Visual Arts faculty at Marryatville High School, we regularly attend all Teachers Briefings and enjoy the passionate dialogues that ensue, gaining further insight and strengthening our own professional learning, [...] it informs and improves classroom practice.’

Glenys Haensel, Marryatville High School Visual Arts Coordinator (Excerpt from ‘LEARNING e-news April 2014, Art Gallery of South Australia’.)

YEAR 12 ACADEMIC SUCCESS IN 2013Stage 2 Visual Arts student from 2013, Isobel Waters, received a merit for her SACE Visual Arts – Art course. Many of our students from this cohort have continued to study in the broad field of the Visual Arts, undertaking courses in Visual Arts (specialisation), Visual Communications and Design, Interior Architecture, Design (Product Innovation), Architectural Studies and Architectural Design and Education Secondary Teaching.

The current senior students are busily engaged exploring and synthesising ideas, experimenting with chosen media and techniques, further developing visual thinking and technical skills – to express insights and a personalised aesthetic with their major art and design practicals.

RECOGNITION OF RECENT EX- GRADUATES’ SUCCESSMeaghan Coles is now a practicing artist who was recently involved in a food and art event, Market Feast, at Adelaide Central Market. ‘The Advertiser’ recently featured an article about Meaghan.

Angelica Harris-Faull completed her degree in Visual Arts (specialisation), last year, winning the printmaking prize. Her work was selected for inclusion in the 2014 Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition. She is currently studying for an Honours degree in Art Curation at RMIT. See page 6.

ONGOING PROFESSIONAL PRACTICEThe VAESA (Visual Arts Educators South Australia) exhibition, was recently on display at the Hagen Arms Hotel, Echunga. An exhibition of work by Visual Art Educators, it featured the artwork of 2 of our faculty teachers, Maeve O’Hara and Sheryl Morgan.

Also, closer to home, Sheryl Morgan exhibited in the Glenside Lions Annual Art Show.

This is a positive example of teachers working in the community to support the teaching of students in acquiring knowledge about the role of artists, techniques and contemporary practice.

Students benefit from the Visual Arts faculty’s willingness to participate in ongoing professional development.

This display will also feature all of the completed art and design practical works of the two Stage 2 classes. All details of that event will be announced in forthcoming newsletters.

ews FROM MT GAMBIER TO THE

STAGE OF THE FESTIVAL THEATREMarryatville High School students once again demonstrated their talents and staying power by attending more rehearsals after their wins at Generations in Jazz in order to participate in two performances of Carmina Burana at the Festival Theatre.On May 16th and 17th The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra brought to the Festival Theatre stage more than 200 performers for the choral and orchestral spectacular; Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. The concert opened with the symphonic poem by Sergei Rachmaninov, “Isle of the Dead” op 29. Inspired by Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin’s painting of the same name, the mythological ferryman of the dead rows a corpse to an island across the Underworld River Styx.

35 students of Marryatville’s Concert Choir joined Carl Crossin’s Adelaide Symphony Chorus and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra performed Carl Orff’s 1935 scenic cantata Carmina Burana, based on 24 medieval poems. Conductor Nicholas Carter directed the combined forces of choir, orchestra and three soloists: Milica Ilic - Soprano, Paul McMahon - Tenor, Samuel Dundas - Baritone. Both performances enjoyed standing ovations from the audience.

Singers from Young Adelaide Voices formed the children’s choir. Two of our Year 8 students were in this cohort. The Symphony chorus also contained approximately 20 former Marryatville students, and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra has its fair share of Marryatville alumni. Marryatville High School was definitely well represented in the event.

The event also saw parents performing with their children. Anna Handsworth, ASO Horn player with her son, Year 12 student Daniel; and Amanda Grigg ASO percussionist with her son, Year 8 student Jack Overall.

The Concert Choir was invited to sing in this concert because of the high level of choral singing at our SIMC. This demonstrated high level of professionalism and musicality is why our music program is well respected within the Adelaide music community.

YOUNG ACCOMPANISTS SHOWCASEThe Accompanists Guild of SA held a Masterclass in The Stables on Sunday June 1st. Among the participants were Year 9 student Daniel Ong, Year 8 student Selina Tran, and Year 8 student Sophie Tu. They joined four other pianists and their soloists in the Masterclass of piano accompanying. The afternoon was conducted by Frances Wood, a former member of staff of Marryatville’s SIMC. Frances is well respected and is known as a soloist, accompanist, examiner, and authority in music education.

The Masterclass allowed all participants to learn from the comments and suggestions given to each accompanist. This event was just a pre-curser to the Guild’s concert in three week’s time. There the participants will be able to demonstrate the improvements and musical refinements they have achieved.

ews IN MEMORY OF MIKE STEWART

The staff, students, and wider community of the Music Centre celebrate the life and achievements of musician and educator Mike Stewart. He has been a positive force in promoting music, especially to students across Adelaide and Australia.

Mike has taught many Marryatville High School students as saxophone teacher, improvisation tutor, ensemble director, and mentor. He has encouraged many of our students in their jazz studies through his projects, especially the SA Jazz Superbands. He was worked closely with a number of Marryatville High School staff members.

His legacy will be remembered and work shall be honoured by the fulfilment of many of his projects. We celebrate Mike Stewart, and mourn with his family and loved ones.

YOUNG ADELAIDE SINGS! JUNIOR CHOIR PERFORMANCE ELDER HALL, SUNDAY 1ST JUNEThe Junior Choir (which consists of singers from Year 8 and 9) performed with great style, musicianship and commitment at Young Adelaide Sings!, a choral concert hosted by the Australian National Choral Society.In front of the large audience in Elder Hall the choir performed three contrasting songs, Ain’t She Sweet (jazz), Eternal Light (contemporary) and A Hee Tuva (African). Young Adelaide Sings! is a great opportunity for choirs to learn from one another and gain performance confidence. Marryatville Junior Choir was one of 6 choirs to perform. Others included the very experienced Young Adelaide Voices Concert Choir and St Peters College Boys Senior choir.

It was wonderful to have so much enthusiastic support from parents who volunteered to help our students with the logistics of staging and movement at the concert. Special thanks should be extended to Andrew (Charlotte’s Dad) and Matthew (Ruby’s Dad) for looking after additional equipment/costumes and Miranda (Maddie’s Mum) for the photographs. This concert was conducted by Jasmine Lim and accompanied on the piano by Julia Watson (a very enthusiastic student teacher).

A SENSATIONAL 12 MONTHS FOR SOCCER PLAYER OLIVER ZAFIRIDISOliver Zafiridis’ past 12 months as a soccer player has been incredible, beginning with him being awarded Young Player of the Year at his Senior Club, Modbury Jets. During this time, Oliver was also trialling for the Under 19 State School Boys Team, before winning selection in a squad of 16 to travel to Canberra for the National Tournament. After a very successful campaign, South Australia finished third and Oliver was rewarded by being included in the Australian Under 19 National School Boys Team. Oliver then travelled to Sydney in January this year for a 2 day training camp before flying to Europe for a 21 day tour of England and Wales where he played 8 International friendly matches.

As a consequence of his success, Oliver was invited to trial for the Adelaide United Youth Squad, where he was selected as a ‘train on player’ and eventually made his National Youth League debut against Sydney FC at Thebarton Oval. After endless weeks of training with the Youth Squad, Oliver learnt of an opportunity to travel to Spain to take part in the Mediterranean International Cup, which is Europe’s biggest youth soccer tournament. After winning a place in the squad, Oliver travelled to Spain, spending 3 days in Barcelona and 8 days in Lloret De Mar. Currently, Oliver is back training hard, continuing to work towards his dream of becoming a professional soccer player and hoping to be offered a contract for the youth squad later this year.

Oliver’s humility and willingness to be a positive role model for our whole school community is to be commended. Congratulations and Good Luck Oliver!

Laura HudsonCoordinator Counsellor - Pathways

COURSE COUNSELLING FOR 2015We have begun preparations for the course and subject selection counselling process for 2015. A good deal of the activity in counselling occurs in Term 3 with student and parent information sessions, on line selection and interviews.We have implemented some changes in the process for this year which we believe will give more consistent and efficient information to students and families in making the best choices possible. We will continue with on-line selection trialled last year which, in spite of some teething problems, proved to be an easy and effective process. The following points outline the main tenet of changes for 2014:

• Years 8 and 9, and for the first time Year 10 students, will enter courses on line. Year 11 students will have printed guides and selection papers which are similar to 2013.

• Interviews for Year 8 and 9 students will not be offered unless specifically requested. The Australian Curriculum and limited choices available for students make interviews unnecessary. Home Group teachers will play a key communication role in ensuring the best choices are made.

• Year 10 and 11 students will be interviewed by a core group of staff in a morning and afternoon/evening session. This staff team will have received the latest SACE information and training to deliver consistent and professional guidance to students. Year 10 and 11 students will not be required to attend classes on their respective day of interview.

• The Marryatville Curriculum Guide 2015 will only be available on line on the school webpage.

• There will be no school closure. All classes, with the one day exception for Years 10 and 11, will operate as normal.

We will keep you informed with future newsletter articles and notes home which will include calendar events on course counselling, interview codes and contacts for preliminary discussions on the process.
