Cyber Awareness Week From the OfficeApplying for Leave
If you require leave for your son please, apply in writing and address your application to the Principal, Dr Jaggar, stating the reason and length of time of the leave. Your son must then present this application to Dr Jaggar for permission for the leave. Please remember to apply before the leave and not after. Letters Re Absence/Lateness/Early LeaveWhen your son returns to school from being absent he is required to provide a letter of explanation signed by a parent or guardian. If your son is going to be late for school a note is also required. Alternatively you may contact the school by phone on 9662 9300 and dial “1” for the absentee line. If your son has an early leave note he is required to have his note signed by either Mr Barris, Mr Dowdell or Mr Prorellis before 8:55 am and handed in to the Main Office immediately after. Each letter should be signed by a parent or guardian with the name, date and roll class of your son printed clearly. Your son needs to pick up a leave pass from the Main Office before he leaves the school. If your son has early leave due to a medical appointment you are required to produce a note from the provider the following day. Student Late ArrivalIf your son arrives late to school he is required to scan his ID card outside the Main Office, collect his late arrival slip and have it signed by the teacher of the first class that they attend and see Mr Dowdell at the end of period 2. Enrolment Details Information FormA number of students have still not returned their Enrolment Details Form. Failing to do so will result in detention. Half Yearly ReportsHalf Yearly reports are usually given to boys at an interview with Dr Jaggar about three weeks after their examination period. Some boys may need a Clearance Form if they have overdue library books, if they were captains of summer sporting teams and have not submitted a report of the season for The Record, if they have not made their co-payment for summer sport or other activities, etc. From the Junior Library

Football Results – 2014Autumn Holiday - St Andrews Cup
MIC of Football ReportOver the break we had our 1st XI play in the annual St Andrews Cup played at Oakhill College. This has become a popular events for many schools such as Riverview, Shore, Cranbrook, St Patrick’s and Trinity, providing our 1st XI squad a fantastic hit out leading into the 2014 season. In our pool we had Shore, St Pat’s (one of the tournament favourites) and Cranbrook. The boys played very well and went close to winning all three matches. The follow day we were up against St Pius and were up 1-0 early in the match, but as in previous matches and due to a very young squad our boys ran out of steam and were unable to maintain their lead and resulted in them losing easily in their final match. The boys gained a lot out of this tournament and have provided them with a lot of hope for a successful season. Also over the break our 3rd XI coach Vince provided all our football players an opportunity to do some fitness and basic skills to maintain the hard work they have already put in.
This week the boys will be back at training and will continue to grow as a team from what they
have developed from term 1. Keep up the good effort and I am sure SBHS Football will have a
successful season. AAGPS Athletics Invitation Meet

From the Prefects
As part of our mission to increase High Spirit within our school, we felt that we needed to match our GPS compatriots in their voice and encouragement at each AAGPS event. Usually constricted to the evergreen school song, or monotonous “Hiiiiiiiiiigh school!!”, we went on a mission to come up with new chants which will revitalise our supporters (and hopefully encourage more to come along!). Below, and on the next page, are a series of chants and war-crys which we hope you will learn at our CHANT RALLY – this Friday lunchtime, at the amphitheatre (2/5/14).
If you manage to get a hold of the High Notes before the rally, bring it down AND MAKE SURE YOU HOLD ONTO IT FOR THE GPS ATHLETICS CARNIVAL NEXT SATURDAY (10/5/14).
COME ALONG SATURDAY WEEK TO SUPPORT YOUR BROTHERS, WHO WILL PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE FOR GPS
GLORY!!!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer – JFF
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
And all of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say, (ho ho ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him,
And they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer
You'll go down in history
