Dear Students,
 
IT Survey

To assist us in the College's strategic planning for the next 3 years and the needs for you in terms of ICT and integration into a fast moving and broader world we ask you to take some time to complete the following survey.  The outcomes of the survey will be used in determining certain aspects of the College's ICT strategic plan, which will be announced later in the year.
 
Census

Also, this week College is conducting a census and will become an annual event.   The information will be used for future planning of the College in areas such as enrolments, delivery of information technology and in planning our calendar given how busy families are today.  The census should take 15 minutes to complete and as it is anonymous I would appreciate your honesty in completing it.

How to complete

You know some parents are receiving ‘Viewpoint’ when a significant number approach you on the sidelines at Saturday sport to make comment on articles in ‘Viewpoint’. I received a number of comments about the reflections made about the discernment our sons and students face when making decisions that can affect the rest of their life. That thirty seconds of pause can make all the difference. In light of the tragedy on the Harbour last week many parents paralleled the decision those young people made to get on the boat despite warnings from fishermen, with the decisions their sons will make in their youth. While it is difficult enough to be faced with a crucial decision it does not help when a young man’s peers choose to ‘fire him up’ and actively promote a decision which will adversely effect him. There have been two instances in the College in recent weeks where a students peers have encouraged a student to act in a manner which has subsequently jeopardised his position at the College. When students know what button to push to get a reaction they should become involved in a process of discernment that requires pause and consideration of their actions and the consequences. In many ways students who encouraged bad behaviour are as culpable as those who committed an irresponsible act.

All SIC students are invited to enter the student photography exhibition and competition held at the annual Art Craft and Jewellery Exhibition in May. Harvey Norman has kindly donated two digital SLR Cameras as prizes for the best Digital photograph and the best Black & White wet photograph.
