A Good relationship with your child builds resiliency

Having a good relationship with our children not only feels great for parents and children, but it also helps children to develop positive friendships at school, it can help them to build resiliency and it can also help with their behaviour at home and at school. This week I am sharing with you an article from the Raising Children website about Good Family Relationships. In it, you'll find some great suggestions on how to make sure you're spending quality time with your children as well as ways to communicate positively with your children. It might be possible to make a few simple changes to your family's routine in order to increase connection and strengthen the relationship that you have with your children. http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/building_a_good_relationship_with_your_family.html If you have questions or want to learn more about this then please come and have a chat with me and together we can work on some ideas that suit your family. With blessings, Carrie Coghlan Student and Family Counsellor Charnwood Junior School Campus

Anxiety in Mathematics

by Mr Paul Thompson, Head of Mathematics Many conversations with students and parents revolve around the issue of anxiety in Mathematics. I was reading an article about anxiety in Mathematics and thought it raised some very good points. In my opinion, one of the difficulties of Mathematics is that it is right or wrong.

So much of the world we live in, being right is relative.

Mathematics is a beautiful thing, as it reveals to us order - much like God's order in the World. Without going into the theology of Mathematics, the article raises many points as to why students feel anxious when studying Mathematics.

Regardless of your child's natural understanding of Mathematics, learning Mathematics must come from a place of hard work, as if we are doing it to glorify God. As you read this article, I would encourage you to talk with your child about the challenges they face in mathematics and show them the relevance of the skills they will need in the world we live in.

BCC Blue Jays gave their best in last weekend's Netball Grand Final

Tensions were high at the 2016 North Canberra Intermediate Netball Division 8 Grand Final last Saturday, as the game between BCC Blue Jays and the North Gungahlin Netball Team ended in a draw then went into extra time.

BCC Hockey Teams run on for their first games

Brindabella is proud to announce the launching of their U7 Hockey team and their U9 Hockey team. The players ran on for their first game on Saturday 2nd May and a great time was had by all; they play each Saturday morning through the winter months at the Nicholls ovals. On Monday afternoons the teams train on the turf adjacent the BCC Lyneham Netball courts. Rebecca Mackenzie (year 11 ) and Katherine Mead (year 10), our school’s two U18 Division 1players, conduct this training. They have a wealth of playing experience and love sharing it with our young players. In the U9 team Isaac, Mikayla, Eva, Charles, Ella , Isabel, Lucyand Sophia are having a great time scoring goals and defending their goal. The players have been quick to learn skills with their hockey ball and stick, and quick to understand where to be on the hockey field so they can help out their fellow team mates. Many thanks to their Saturday field coach, Mr Andrew M. In the U7 team Anthony, Ahaana, Harry, Anna, Lila and Diya have been having a lot of fun with their new hockey stick and ball. Each Saturday they practice their skills and then have a game with another U7 team. Our U7 team has some budding goal keepers and some keen goal scoring ‘strikers’ in the making. Their Saturday field coach, Mr James M has as much fun as the players; our thanks to Mr M for his involvement and support. At Monday training the U7 team is joined by Maddison and Scarlett. We are very pleased to have Maddison and Scarlett with us readying themselves for the Spring-time hockey activities.

Thank you to Mr Joel Andrew, Mrs Jacqui Smith and Mrs Gemma White for leading the ensembles.

BCC Under 9s Hockey - WIN

Despite a frigid start to the game the U9 were dominant in attack from the outset. Lovely passes from Ava and Lucy gave Isaac the opportunity to convert a skilful goal. Some great sister cooperation saw both Isabel and Sophia score two further goals. Ella and Mikaylas were excellent in defence with their tackles. Our loaned central player kindly scored the last goal ending the game on an impressive four nil. Well done!

Honouring BCC's First Principal, Mr David Button

Brindabella Christian College’s first Principal Mr David Button died last week following a brave battle with melanoma. David was an instrumental figure in setting up what is now known as Brindabella Christian College. In 1979, David approached the O’Connor Uniting Church Parish Council with the idea of setting up a Christian School. He felt this school should not be an elite school but rather a dedicated Christian School focussed on Christ-centred education. Later that year he was appointed to establish such a school as part of the O’Connor Uniting Church. At the start of 1980, David became the first Principal of O’Connor Christian School with Mrs Trixie Rudder working as the Head Teacher. The School opened with an enrolment of 29 children from Kindergarten to Year 6. Within the first year of opening, enrolments exceeded expectations and Pre-school classes commenced with an additional teacher and assistant along with another primary school teacher. Realising there was not enough room at the O’Conner Uniting Church location to cater for the growing enrolments, David noticed unused rooms at 136 Brigalow Street Lyneham and prayerfully sought to use them for this rapidly growing Christian School. In 1982, O’Connor Christian School moved to 136 Brigalow Street Lyneham, housed in 12 classrooms at the rear of the block down near the motel. At this point, the school shared the site with the ACT Government’s Curriculum Development Centre. With the additional classrooms, the school was able to grow to include two secondary classes (Years 7-8). Each year the school grew and more classrooms were required, and each year school community prayed for more space. Meanwhile, the Government kept reducing the numbers of staff employed in the Curriculum Development Centre until in 1985 they moved out and the school was able to take over the complete site and, under the direction of David, installed an additional 7 portable classrooms. During 1985 David retired as Principal. In 1998 the O’Connor Christian School was renamed Brindabella Christian College. We would like to honour Mr David Button for his contribution to our College. May he rest in peace, after a race worth running. Glory be to God for David’s vision and hard work to further the Lord’s kingdom through the establishment and early leadership of our school.

Let Them Run Wild

As the days are getting shorter and the weather is colder it is a good reminder that children still need to get outside and do exercise and activities. This is not only good for their health but also good for their mental health. Click here for recent research in this area.

Representing the College so well

Last week Mr Handley, College board representatives, Mrs Jones, Mrs Thompson and Mr Campbell attended the 2016 Christian Schools Australia National Policy Forum which was held at the Hyatt hotel in Canberra.

Social Media & FOMO - The Fear of Missing Out

I have had a number of conversations with senior school families recently about use of social media and it has prompted me to write on the topic. I know that a significant number of our families regularly 'battle' with their children surrounding this very topic. I regularly field questions surrounding appropriate usage of social media and if I had a dollar for every time a parent commented on social media being the cause for issues with the youth of today, I would be a wealthy man.

Soldier On - Christmas/Care Cards

Over recent weeks a small group of Year 11 students studying Christian Service engaged in an initiative to involve the school community in thinking outside of themselves over Christmas. Students had recently heard from Rob Pickersgill from Soldier On - and decided they would arrange for the Brindabella Student body to create thankyou cards for service people who are either returned or deployed. Students designed a card template and met with classes from Kindergartn to Year 10 and worked with classes to involve all students in writing a card of thanks. On Friday afternoon Rebecca Mackenzie collated the cards and handed over some of the students care cards/letters - it was a special moment and Rob and Rebecca had a good conversation about the impact these messages will have on those deployed serving members who sacrifice so much, for the safety and security of all of us here at home.

Staff Member Highlight – Mrs Felicity McLure

I would like to take a moment this week to highlight some incredible work being carried out by one of our senior staff members, Mrs Felicity McLure. For those who might not be aware Felicity has been implementing a strategy called the Thinking Frames Approach in Years 8, 9 and 10 over the past two years in Science, which is designed to improve conceptual understanding and written explanations in science as part of a Ph.D. programme carried out through Curtin University in Perth. The results from this study have shown a highly significant improvement in both areas, with students often achieving outstanding conceptual change compared to other cohorts in Australia and internationally.

Virginia Haussegger Report

Virginia Haussegger, an ambassador for the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge, came to visit the Year 3’s. She read us some of her favourite books such as The Magnificent Jellybean Tree and Secret Tree Fort. She told us that when she was younger she loved reading Enid Blyton books such as The Famous Five and The Faraway Tree We asked her what her most frightening moment as a journalist was and she told us a story about falling off a boat with the camera crew and having to stay on an island with sea lions. They were all very wet and cold and they had to stay all night until they were rescued by a helicopter the next day. She also told us stories about visiting Queen Elizabeth, the White House and spending time in Afghanistan. The Year Three’s really enjoyed talking with Ms Haussegger and we found it very encouraging.

Work has started on the BCC Carpark

The carpark surface has dried out sufficiently for work to commence on Friday 7 October. As there is still rain predicted for Canberra next week and we want to ensure the carpark surface will be compacted enough to prevent any future potholing the carpark will be closed for all of the week beginning Monday 10 October. The Uniting Church carpark is private property and should not be used as an alternative. It is important parents plan carefully for next week and there are a few suggestions that may help:
