Heads of Department Retreat

Last weekend academic and senior leaders from Cranbrook School attended the Heads of Department Retreat at Q Station, Manly, which focused on Leadership and Wellbeing.

The first session built on the keynote speeches ‘High Performance RESET’ and ‘Inside Job’ that performance strategist Andrew May delivered to Cranbrook teachers in Terms 1 and 2. Taking a coaching approach, Andrew challenged this group of leaders to take practical steps to improve their wellbeing, providing the necessary tools to support them commit to positive change. This included  exploring the 5 Leadership Capacity building blocks, implementing the Better Week into their busy schedules and kickstarting a 21 Day Energy Challenge to revitalise the body and brain with micro habits.

The retreat concluded with a session on ‘Handling Difficult Conversations’, which explored strategies for navigating these conversations as effectively and compassionately as possible. This informative and interactive session, facilitated by Brett Rolfe, underscored the importance of flexibility and respect, and gave leaders the opportunity to practise applying a framework for taking a collaborative approach to difficult conversations through roleplay.  

The retreat was also a valuable opportunity to strengthen the relationships between this group of leaders, providing time for in-depth conversations about teaching and learning.

Term 3 Staff Development Day

On Monday 22 July, Cranbrook teachers kicked off Term 3 with a Staff Development Day that focused on whole-school wellbeing and AI in Education.

Building on Professor Donna Cross’s statement that “If a child can do advanced maths, speak 3 languages or receive top grades, but can’t manage their emotions, deal with conflict or handle stress, none of that stuff is really going to matter,”  the first session provided a detailed overview of Cranbrook’s progress on the Whole-school Wellbeing Initiative (a year-long project completed in partnership with AISNSW) and underscored the necessity of understanding, valuing and promoting Social and Emotional Learning (SEL).

This valuable session, facilitated by Laura Brennan, Mark De Brin, Grant Andrews and Campbell Robilliard, spotlighted excellent practice in explicitly teaching SEL, and It was inspiring to hear from Junior School and Senior School teachers about the strategies they use with their students. Thanks to Laura Rose, Rosie Heckes, Rose Kelly, Katherine Young and Andrew Benson for sharing their excellent practice.

This was followed by the fantastic PD session led by Tara Schmidtke and Simon Hamblin ‘Work Smarter, Not Harder: AI in Education.’ This session explored how in education, AI can personalise learning experiences, adapt to individual needs, and provide feedback, enhancing learning outcomes. The presenters also emphasised that integrating AI as part of our teaching arsenal will help to equip students with the relevant skills for future technological landscapes.

The differentiated groupings, detailed resources and well-structured Canvas course that accompanied the session supported teachers to enhance their ability to complete effective AI assisted, not AI generated work.

Stuart Meade, Acting Head of School

I wish all families a warm welcome to a new term; I hope you were able to enjoy some family time, be it travelling overseas, interstate or something as simple as a few unrushed meals together. 

It is a pleasure to be back at Cranbrook, albeit it for a very short time as Acting Head of School while Michele Marquet enjoys some well-deserved leave. Having spent sixteen years here in two iterations, including six as Deputy Head from 1997-2002, I have great affection for the place and look forward to being part of the community for the next few weeks until Michele returns in Week 4.

As I attend staff meetings, chat with students and explore the campus, being reminded of the facilities that have not changed (the 1^st XV changerooms…) and marvelling at those that have, I am being asked for my impressions of Cranbrook in 2024.

What stands out to me are the opportunities available to the students – they are endless in number, diverse in nature and exciting in prospect. One only has to read of the trips during the recent break – studying at the University of Oxford, being part of a cultural immersion trip to Arnhem land, representing the school on Rugby, Skiing or Sailing trips, or even the study and exam preparation sessions in the final week of the break to understand all that is on offer for the boys. We must not overlook the commitment of staff in organising and managing the tours that enables them to happen. My thanks to those who go above and beyond to provide these experiences to the students.

It is wonderful to have the students back on campus for a new term. Their willingness to engage with all that goes on here sustains the efforts of so many and I look forward to seeing all that unfolds in the weeks ahead.

With good wishes

Acting Head of School

Founders Day 2024

Happy birthday, Cranbrook! Cranbrook’s first day of school was 22 July 1918. This week we celebrate our foundation, both physical and spiritual.

This year in Chapel we have been looking at Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Jesus’ sermon has been about the attitudes and actions of an upside-down kingdom where the exalted are the meek, the mourning, the persecuted, the pure and the peacemakers.

It ends with these words:

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)  

What did he want people to do with his words? Build.

Jesus wasn’t interested in creating a merely intellectual philosophy, he was interested in changing lives. To put his words into action. To build our lives upon their foundation.

Now, Jesus knew a thing or two about building. He was raised by a builder (Joseph) and had likely been a builder for most of his life.

He knew good buildings need solid foundations, that good builders choose solid foundations.

We meet in the Vicars Centenary Building, which is so fitting for today, a day when we think about our foundations as a school.

Firstly, because a member of the Vicars family was a foundation member of the school, and then later Will Vicars, his ancestor, continued that spirit of philanthropy in contributing to the development of this facility. 

Secondly, because the impetus to redevelop this site was in part because the previous building did not have a solid foundation and had begun to subside down the hill.

Any two buildings may look identical from outside, but time will tell if one hasn’t been built on a solid foundation.

The Founders established Cranbrook on the spiritual foundation of Jesus’ teaching. They chose a Reverend, F.T. Perkins, to be the first Headmaster. The one who established Cranbrook on the rock of Jesus’ teaching.

For him, and our founders, that was the foundation that would stand the test of time, the vagaries and storms of life, and be the best place to begin the task of building a school whose legacy of forming future generations would bear fruit whatever lay ahead.

And there were certainly challenges ahead. Think about when Cranbrook was started, during a World War. In its first year it faced a global pandemic, the Spanish Flu. Ten years later would be the Great Depression and two decades after its founding Cranbrookians would be fighting in another World War, including our second Headmaster Sir Iven Mackay who became the commander of the Australian 2^nd Army as a Lieutenant General.

Starting a school to weather these unprecedented early decades was a risky venture and certainly wasn’t for their personal gain.

It was a courageous and generous decision to invest in the future of students they would never see or know, because that is what their teacher, Jesus, calls his students to do.

Your life, and mine, has been impacted by their choice, and the ongoing choice of countless others to commit to this institution their time and treasure so that we might be where we are today.

Founders’ Day is a day for gratitude, for inspiration, for an appreciation of our spiritual foundation and for a rededication to build, not on sinking sand, but upon the solid rock of Jesus’ words made manifest,

So, build. Build for others. Build to last.

‘Building’ for us may not be about starting a school, but it can be about the choices we make each day. To strengthen a friendship rather than break a promise, to give a kind word rather than crush someone’s spirit, to value humility rather than reward celebrity, to care more about our character than our reputation, to enjoy lifting others up rather than envying success. To build, rather than break.

The foundation has been set for us in Jesus’ example and teaching, may we be blessed when we build on such sure footing. Amen.

Welcome back to Term 3. This term in our Student Wellbeing Programme we are focusing on the following in each Year Group:

Year 7– Identity

Year 8– Risk taking

Year 9– Responbsibility

Year 10– Balance

Year11– Striving for success

Year12– Finishing Strong

As the new semester begins, students will set fresh goals to provide them with direction and motivation. Working towards these goals allows for personal growth. A clear focus helps them prioritise tasks and make better decisions, building confidence along the way. This process may also lead to the discovery of new passions and interests. They are asked to set goals related to their academic achievements, contributions to co-curricular activities, service, and involvement in their House. Please encourage your child to think about their goals so they are ready to share them with their Mentors, who will check in with each student during the semester.

Dear Parents and Carers,

A warm welcome back to school. I’m sure I do not need to remind our Year 12 parents that this is their sons’ final full term of classes and assessments. There are many plans for them in place to celebrate their time at Cranbrook and we look forward to supporting them as they are challenged by demanding and, at times, emotional events.

Yesterday we enjoyed our Founders’ Day Service. This celebrates the origins of our school, its founders and their vision. We were joined by several members of School Council who also contributed to prayers and readings, which the students enjoyed. The beauty of this service is that it provides our students with a sense of context and belonging and allows students to realise how fortunate they are to attend and contribute to this fine school. I did speak of the courage that school leaders, teachers and families had shown in working in and attending a grand new school with a strong vision but no history, and encouraged our students to have a similar courage with their best efforts as they commence a new term.

We also enjoyed a series of presentations by students which are always well received. I would like to thank so many students who gave up their holidays for various activities and tours. We did acknowledge the success of our sailors in the Nationals, finishing second, our Rugby tour to Fiji, the tour to Arnhem Land and our Oxford Royale student workshops at Oxford University. These extra holiday activities often form the best memories of the school experience.

We also welcomed back Ms Hannah Bamford in Drama and the new Head of Perkins House. We welcomed some new staff members as well; Ms Rukevwe Bateren in Science, Ms Gracie Martin in Learning Support and Ingrid Kaupuzs and Emily Murray as Teaching Assistants.

Congratulations to Marcus Da Silva and Noah Kemp for their record breaking swims in the Sydney Metro Swimming. Between them, they hold five records as the fastest swimmers in the Sydney area in history. We wish Tate Suriyani, Noah Kemp and Ms Rebecca Wheatley (Head Coach) as they compete for NSW at the National Schools Championship from this Saturday.

Finally, we have a very busy but exciting term ahead; especially for our Year 12 students.

Have a great week.

Best wishes,

Bob Meakin
Deputy Headmaster & Head of Senior School

Matt Grice, Director of Sport

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I’d like to welcome back all students and parents for the start of a busy Term 3.

A massive thank you to all who were involved in the numerous holiday activities,  top squads’ preseason trainings and our holiday camps that were attended in records number. It was fantastic to see so many students so active in their holiday break. Well done to everyone who got involved.

Over the break I had the extraordinary opportunity to embark on a tour of Fiji alongside the talented and dedicated year 9 and 10 Rugby players from Cranbrook. This tour was open to all students, regardless of whether they were part of the A teams or not. During our time in Fiji, we had the privilege of participating in exhilarating matches that left a lasting impression on us. But it wasn’t just the sporting aspect that made this experience so unforgettable. Our Fijian hosts showered us with their remarkable knowledge, rich cultural experiences, and unmatched hospitality. I know all our students came away with a many valuable lessons and a new appreciation for the Fijian way of living.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the staff members who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this tour a reality.

Last week Cranbrook Sailing sent two teams to the Australian Schools Teams Racing Championships held down in South Australia. It was a brilliant event for the school with the 1^st VI finishing second and the 2^nd VI finishing 14^th at the end of the week. A fantastic achievement from our sailing students and staff!

Cranbrook Snow Sports team were also in action at the Regional Interschools Championships, held in Perisher. Congratulations to all who took part  – a full report can be found here.

This weekend sees away fixtures of the CAS Winter Season against Trinity . Both of our 1sts and 2nds Football and Rugby will be playing away at Trinity this week and I’d encourage all students to head there, before or after their game, to support our senior teams play.  I wish all students competing the best of luck.  Please download this weekend’s fixtures here. 

Cranbrook is excited to announce its inaugural combined winter sports award presentation, bringing together the entire community to celebrate the achievements of the Winter season. This new event will showcase the exceptional performances and dedication of Cranbrook’s winter sports teams and individuals. This historic occasion reflects Cranbrook’s commitment to fostering a vibrant sports culture and supporting the development of its student-athletes.

Please save the date Friday the 16 August 5:30pm to 7:00pm in the Vicars Centenary Hall.  Booking link and further details available soon.

Looking ahead to this term, please see the Term 3 Sport, Co-Curricular and Academy Schedule here.

• The Winter Season fixtures conclude on Saturday 10^th August.  We then move into our Athletics and Summer Pre-Season period.

Please note there will be no Saturday sport – unless students are part of the athletics team during this period.

However, I encourage all students to try out for the athletics team. Cranbrook’s Athletics team provide students an opportunity to develop and enhance their athletics skills, as well as skills related to their specific summer and winter sports. Through regular training and guidance from experienced coaches, they will improve technique, agility, and speed, ultimately becoming a better athlete.

It’s also a great opportunity to train and be part of a group outside their regular summer and winter sports.

If students have any questions regarding athletics, please email Miss Williams AWilliams@cranbrook.nsw.edu.au

• Please note that Winter Sports Team Photos will take place in Week 4 and Week 6 this term – further details will be communicated shortly.

Looking forward to seeing everyone around the grounds this weekend.

Cranbrook Sailing 2nd at National Championships

Last week Cranbrook Sailing sent two teams to the Australian Schools Teams Racing Championships held down in South Australia. It was a brilliant event for the school with the 1^st VI finishing second and the 2^nd VI finishing 14^th at the end of the week.

Teams sailing involves two teams of 3 boats each racing each other around a tight course – races are 10 minutes with 4 rounding marks for lots of tight handling. The format is all about blocking and controlling opponents to let your team mates pass them, and is very tight and dynamic. Cranbrook 1 put on a dominant display for the first 3 days which are raced in a swiss league format where the top teams continually compete against each other. At the end of the qualifying series the 1^st VI had won 22 of 25 races sailed, and were 6 points ahead of 2^nd place. They then won their prelim final and the semi final in dominant fashion to set up a showdown with our nemesis Scots College. The best of 5 race grand final went down to the wire with both teams at 2 wins each going into the 5^th race in a rapidly dying breeze. Unfortunately, Scots was able to pull a slender advantage on the last leg and take home the series with our boys coming in second. Meanwhile our 2^nd VI finished a brilliant 14^th in a very tight battle amongst 11 teams in the midfield who were separated by a single point after 25 races.

If you see any of the boys around the School, I’m sure they’d appreciate your congratulations, 2^nd is a huge accomplishment, but they are a little frustrated to have come so close and just missed out on the win. The big positive is that Cranbrook 1 has now qualified for the Interdominion Championship in October which pits the best 3 Australian school teams against the best 3 New Zealand school teams. The team will refocus straight back onto the task of chasing the win on an international stage.

Sailing 1^st VI

• Spencer McKay
• Henry Myers
• Luca Alexander
• Harrison Lucas Martinez
• Ethan Rushton
• Tucker McKeon

Sailing 2^nd VI

• Martin Liebhold
• Angus Baker Wood

Regional Snowsports Report 

In the last week of the School holidays, Cranbrook Junior School and Senior School students competed in the Sydney Interschools Snowsport Championships at Perisher. 77 of our students, K – 12, competed in Alpine, Ski Cross, Snowboard Cross, Snowboard GS and Moguls events in this Regional competition. Our team had a fantastic week, with multiple individuals and teams achieving podium positions, as well as qualifying for the upcoming State championships in Week 5.

The first day of Interschools racing was purely dedicated to Snowboarders. Our Division 2 team, Ziggy Edwards, Milo Gibney and Oscar Croft, earned a Bronze medal in both the Snowboard GS and Snowboard Cross events. Our younger team, in Division 4, maintained this standard and also brought home a Bronze medal in both of these events! Congratulations to Sam Spry, Charlie Roberts and Cohen Salamon.

Wednesday saw clear skies and sun, as well as a jam-packed race schedule, particularly for our younger students. In Division 4 Alpine, Charlie Roberts, James Cowan, Rhys Au and Hugo Croft came in with a Silver medal, while Charlie Roberts also earned the individual Silver medal. Division 1, 2 and 3 Moguls qualifiers also took place, and we were extremely pleased with the efforts that the boys showed on the bumps, securing several qualifications to State. In Division 6 Ski Cross, Wynn Au, William Zahra and William Britten-Jones qualified for State in 4^th place, whilst Sam Cowan qualified individually. In Division 4 Ski Cross, Charlie Roberts, James Cowan and Rhys Au came home with the Silver medal. Charlie Roberts also came in with another individual Bronze medal for the same race and Hugo Croft qualified individually for State with a 9^th place finish.

To cap off Wednesday, Division 5 Alpine saw Team A get the GOLD medal! This team included Sebastian Salter, Imanol Plante, Xavier Fern and Hunter Whittle. Imanol Plante earned the individual GOLD for this race as well! Three of these same students made up the Division 5A Ski Cross, who had a tremendous run, winning another GOLD. Well done to Sebastian Salter and Xavier Fern for also earning the individual Silver and Bronze medals for this race. The 5B Ski Cross team, consisting of Orlando Fern, Ryan Shi and Hunter Whittle, won the Silver medal, while Hunter Whittle won the individual GOLD! The future of Cranbrook Snowsports is evident in these younger divisions!

On Thursday, both Divisions 4 and 5 had Moguls qualifiers, and despite some team members being a bit nervous to pursue the bumps, they gave it a really good go, securing a few spots at State. In Division 6 Alpine, team A won a Silver medal. Well done to Wynn Au, Sam Cowan, Willian Britten-Jones and William Zahra. The Division 6C team also podiumed, earning a Bronze medal in the same race. Congratulations to Billy Speer, Edward Darke and Hugo Fern. Division 3 Ski Cross had a record-breaking turnout of students, with 19 Cranbrook representatives competing on a tough course. Whilst the podiums did not include any of our Division 3 teams, we are particularly proud of this group of students for all coming in the top 50% of the field and for demonstrating Cranbrook’s spirit on the mountain. Congratulations to Oli Klaas for his individual State qualification in this event. In Division 2 Alpine, the Cranbrook A team with Sach Edwards, Remy Philips, Charlie Cowan and James Walker came in at 5^th, securing a place at State. Our Division 1 Ski Cross team came in at 6^th place by a fraction of a second. John Maxwell-Fuller had two great runs in this race, coming in at 15^th place individually – sending him through to State.

Friday was a wild and blustery day on the mountain and marked the final day of competition. The Division 1 Alpine team consisting of John Maxwell-Fuller, both Captains, and Thomas Southwell Keely placed 4^th, earning a team qualification at State. In Division 3 Alpine, 5 teams from Cranbrook competed on a very windy Front Valley course. Congratulations to Oli Klaas for his individual State qualification in this event. The final race of Regionals, the Division 2 Ski Cross, was very competitive with 35 total teams. The Cranbrook teams, placing 13^th, 19^th and 25^th did not qualify for State, however, demonstrated real grit on a challenging course and horrible weather.

What a great week for our Cranbrook Snowsports representatives! We are so proud of each and every participant who competed this past week! From those who competed for the very first time, to those who are seasoned racers, all students represented Cranbrook School beautifully. A huge shout out to the parents, who patiently (or frantically) got their children where they needed to be, kept them nourished and pumped up, calmed their fears and celebrated their successes.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our roles as Captains so far. A highlight for us was spending time with the younger divisions on the mountain, prepping them for their races, supporting them and taking them through course inspections. We look forward to the State competitions at the end of August in Perisher and are pleased to see so many of our students make it through to the next level of competition.

Finally, we thank Mrs Erickson, Mr Scardino and Miss Whitten for their support in the lead up to and during the week of competition.

2024 Snowsports Captains, Jude Middleditch and Chester Mobbs

Volunteers for Examinations Needed

Are you sometimes available during the school day? Do you feel competent reading and writing English? Are you a legible writer? Please note you don’t have to be neat, just readable.

If so, we would love to hear from you as we are always keen to have more people to support our students as exam volunteers who act as a reader and/or writer for students doing exams.

Readers can read exam material and a student’s answers at the direction of the student.

Writers must write exactly what the student dictates, but they can punctuate without direction by the student.

All volunteers will require a valid WWC; this can be a volunteer or a paid WWC.

If you would like more information about acting as a reader or writer, please contact Fiona Bain on 9327 9435 or email fbain@cranbrook.nsw.edu.au.

If you are keen to begin, you can start the process by emailing compliance@cranbrook.nsw.edu.au with your name, email address, date of birth, and your WWC reference number.

Compliance will then send out an information pack and a number of documents for which you must sign and return along with a photo page of your passport and proof of COVID-19 vaccinations.

Thank you!

Online Safety

As our students’ online presence continues to grow, we are faced with new challenges and potential online risks that could impact your child’s safety and well-being. We want to assure you that we take these matters very seriously and are constantly seeking ways to ensure our students’ online safety. We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Qoria and their Linewize portfolio of products, which will enhance our commitment to digital safety and well-being.

In the upcoming weeks, we will extend an invitation for you to join us in this initiative. We will provide you with resources and tools to help you better comprehend and participate in your child’s digital journey. This includes access to the Qustodio parent app, which will allow you to:

• Temporarily disable internet access on your child’s school device (outside of school hours) via your app.

• Receive summary reports of your child’s online activities outside of school hours.

• Access detailed Timeline reports of your child’s online activities, including search terms and videos.

• Obtain expert advice on online safety directly through the app.

This service also enables you to safeguard one personal device (such as phones or iPads) per child attending our school.

Please note that for any BYO devices or school learning devices that do not leave the school premises, parents will not have oversight or control of these outside of school. However, we strongly encourage parents to link to their child’s school account to avail the offer of protecting one personal device for each child enrolled in our school.

Furthermore, all school-managed student learning devices will be equipped with a basic level of content filtering. This should prevent access to harmful or inappropriate websites, ensuring that your child’s learning device is safe and ready for learning.

We are enthusiastic about this new initiative and your involvement in fostering a culture of online safety and well-being for all students. This will empower each child to navigate their digital journey successfully. You will shortly receive information on how to set up your Qustodio parent account.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the ICT service desk.
