WELLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL

Welcome to the final Newsletter for term3. The school has been very concerned recently at the use and misuse of phones and other electronic devices in classrooms. These phones and devices are a great distraction from the learning which needs to occur. The use of smart phones is also leading to disputes between students as they involve themselves in various social media platforms. Consequently, the school will be adopting a new policy on the use of and access to phones in the classroom, beginning immediately. All phones, earphones and other electronic devices will need to be placed in the students bags at the beginning of the lesson and remain in their bags during the course of lessons. Any students accessing their phone, earphones or other devices will have them confiscated immediately and their parent will be responsible for retrieving them from the school. Your support in this will be greatly

appreciated.

This will be my final Newsletter as

Principal of Wellington High School, as I

indicated in our last Newsletter. I will be

retiring at the end of this term.

I have very mixed feelings about retiring because I have thoroughly enjoyed my career in education over the last, nearly 39 years. I have particularly enjoyed my Principalship at Wellington High School and I am happy to be retiring from such a great school. A great deal has happened in the last six years that I have been here, I have seen students leave us for many varied pathways through life. Overwhelmingly they all share some very fine qualities, generosity, independence, resilience and a sense of egalitarianism. I look forward to hearing about their achievements and those of our current students both here and beyond school.

From the Principal’s Desk

I would also like to wish all our current

students, particularly Year 12 and Year

11, all the best with their studies and

hope they secure the results they want to

pursue their chosen pathway.

To the staff of Wellington High School

both present and past, I offer my sincere

thanks for all your work and efforts to

ensure that students of Wellington High

School have the best opportunity to

achieve their potential.

To the P & C again both past and present members, a huge thank you for your interest, commitment and efforts in ensuring that Wellington High School is the best it can be. Though I am retiring I am looking forward hugely to meeting up with our Real Madrid contingent in Madrid in October. I am particularly pleased that the school has been able to forge this partnership and see it benefiting all our students well into the future. I wish Wellington High School, its staff,

students and parents all the best for what

I am sure will be a very bright future and

thank you for allowing me the privilege of

being its Principal.

IT-Timber Major Projects 2016

As part of Industrial Technology – Timber products and furniture technologies course, students are required to produce a major project and accompanying management folio. The folio, which documents the development of the project, is to include a statement of intent, and details relating to design, planning, management, workplace communication, and evidence of skills and knowledge associated with the industry focus area. Students start their management folio in term 4 2015 and started construction of their project in 2016. This year the students constructed the following projects:

Coffee Table - Zachary West TV Unit - Brian Baxter Ping Pong Table - Bailey Preston Poker Chip Box - Jack Baker Wine Cabinet - Thomas Swainston

All students are to be congratulated on meeting the deadline and producing excellent end-products. They were able to use their workshop time well and gained many new skills in working with Timber. Students set up their projects for the external markers to be graded on the 1

st September. All projects will be a valuable and prized asset in their homes.

Artist’s Statement - Year 12 Major Works I chose to do posterisation of Elvis Presley and Heath Ledger for my major artwork. Presley

and Ledger were the influence behind my major as these men have been a part of my

childhood and life growing up and their deaths had a massive impact on the world. The

artworks are painted with bright coloured orange and blue background to bring out the black,

grey and white colours but also representing happiness they once had before their struggles

with drugs and the happiness they bring to their fans. These paintings are a bit of a memorial

from me to honour Elvis Presley and Heath Ledger. I chose to do the painting in posterisation

because the colours are dark and represent sadness showing the emotions felt with their

deaths.

Artist’s Statement

"The Magic of Nature" is a self-expression artwork which is influenced by the structural framework. The concept was influenced from self-interests such as the art form of Magic, whilst drawing inspiration from magicians such as Penn & Teller and inspiration from artists using natural time lapse artworks like Dustin Farrell and Louis Schwartzberg. Through the Joker representing a deck of cards and the tree representing nature, connections to each are made. Such as the spade base plate representing the four suits in a deck of cards, which relates to the four seasons of nature. The artist practice used to create this artwork involved the use of clay, timber, canvas, painting, adhesive foam board, metal for base plate and digital images projected onto the artwork.

Artist’s Statement My photo media artwork is a representation of the differences in culture, people and place between Australia and Thailand. I visited Thailand towards the end of 2015, taking photos as I explored the beautiful country as I intended to superimposed those against images of Australia for my major artwork. My inspiration came from an image I once saw in a history of photography book where the artist had contrasted images of the holiday in the snow with pictures of the normal place of living in the tropics. This inspiration helped me decide the form of my artwork as I had always been interested in the differences of culture and people. The frames I was working on was the subjective and cultural. These images were blended

together on Photoshop, displaying how the two countries compared in the streets and the

lives of people from different cultures.

The sculptural art piece I have created is a reflection of Jackson Pollock’s death, creating the

piece using influences of his art making practices and technique, exploring the subjective

frame. As the title suggests, “Pollock’s Last Splatter”, explores the aspects of his death.

Pollock was a heavy alcoholic, struggling to beat his battle against depression. Aspects of his

death are represented in the sculpture; a fatal car crash. The base of the sculpture is a

representation of the road in which he travelled metaphorically and physical upon his death,

the road to recovery and rehab all too much for Pollock. The fender attached to the base

symbolises the vehicle in which he crashed whilst heavily under the influence of alcohol. The

splattering of different shades of red not only represents the death of Pollock but as a

reflection of his own artwork such as “Blue Poles”, created by splattering house hold paints

randomly over a piece of canvas.

On the rocks My artwork was a representation of my admiration for the sea. I have chosen to not give my

artwork a specific meaning and would rather the audience interpret it how they wish. I worked

in the postmodern framework for this artwork and created an artwork focused on photo

media. The picture used is an original that I took myself when holidaying in Gerringong on the

south coast. Using Photoshop, I edited and segmented the picture into 9 sections myself

before printing it on canvas paper and placing it on a black background.

NRL Trip Panthers Vs Tigers

On Friday the 19th of August ten students travelled to Penrith to

watch an NRL game involving the Penrith Panthers and the West Tigers. This was the prize for winning the 2015 Western League Tag Carnival. We got to Pepper Stadium in time to watch some of the under 20’s game in which the Tigers won. Before the start of the main game an ABBA tribute band played several songs which kept the crowd entertained. There was plenty of entertainment during the game with team mascots and cheer leaders walking around entertaining the crowd. Many of the students were going for the Tigers and were happy when the Tigers scored first and took an early lead. However, it was all Panthers after this with the Panthers scoring 7 tries to take a 40 – 8 lead. The Tigers scored again late in the game but ended up losing 40-10. Scott and Angelica were lucky enough to have a photo taken with the Panthers play maker Peter Wallace. After the game the students went over to McDonalds to redeem

their free ‘big macs’ which they got as a result of Panthers winning the game. After our late

dinner we jumped back on the bus and headed back to Wellington. Most of the students slept

on the way home and the bus trip back was very quiet. I must congratulate the students on

their outstanding behaviour.

Some very proud students…

Here are some pictures from the Yearly Preliminary Practical Examination. The students were assessed on how well they prepared and presented a Bacon and Zucchini slice with a side salad. In the images below you can see the students setting up for a restaurant service period. All students demonstrated efficient use of their time and really prided themselves with what they presented to the customers. The customers were very happy with the dish and have requested the recipe. I congratulate all Year 11 for their time and effort and I can’t wait to see what you present next year. Mrs Stevenson – Head Teacher VET/Transition

Recently all Year 6 students were invited to attend two transition afternoons to assist them in their preparation for secondary education. The students were involved in a cooking class with myself where they cooked scrolls two ways and a careers education lesson with Miss Pixton their Year Adviser. We had a great time and look forward to seeing you all on the next Orientation Day Tuesday 8

th November 2016.

Hockey Report

A bunch of excited and enthusiastic girls boarded the bus, with a big thank you to Ms Hamblin for driving, and Mrs Parkes’ car to head to Bathurst for the Tom Kemp Junior Knockout. This is a great day every year, and this time was no exception. We arrived with just enough time for Emily Morrison to be padded up as goalie, although Mrs Parkes gets it wrong every year and forgets to put the boots on before the leg pads. We were hoping that the new hockey sticks Mrs Lyons had bought would bring us luck, and for the first game they did. We had a draw against Mudgee 0-0. Many of us had never played before or only for PE or Sport and so playing on the turf was a big change! We soon got into the rhythm and managed a couple of times to get up to their circle. The second game was against Kelso where we went down in the last couple of minutes 1-0. This game saw us improve our defence. We changed goalies in this match and we made further inroads in attack, being in their 25 more often and taking some shots at goal, we just weren’t able to put the ball away. Our last match however, saw us well beaten by a very good team - Blayney who defeated us 8-0. They had a very talented forward who was rather scary, that every time she got the ball she would slam it at Emily in goals from every part of the circle. We all were changing positions on the day but we had fun, a few sore ankles and toes where

the ball or sticks got us, but on the whole a really enjoyable day.

LIVE. LEARN. LIBRARY.

Here we are at the end of Term Three with the end of the year rapidly approaching. As I mentioned in the last newsletter, the Library is settling into a new management system. There are LOTS of new features for both students and staff, and with a little more practise on my part, we will soon roll these out for everyone to enjoy. Another plus with the Oliver system finally arriving has been the accessioning of at least 100 new novels. As they are covered, they will be available for loan. Look for them on one of two NEW BOOKS stands in the very near future! Recently I attended a Librarian’s Conference in Dubbo, and whilst there, we were treated to a delivery from Will Kostakis, as a Keynote speaker. At only 27, Will is now a multiple-published author, with his first novel being penned whilst still at school. He is an incredibly entertaining and thoughtful speaker, addressing youth about youth issues. WHS is endeavouring to host him and some other young writers next year, so that is certainly something to look forward to. Our Library already houses two of his novels so I thought it pertinent to highlight them this newsletter, with the hope that some (maybe many!) will have the opportunity to read them in preparation for his visit.

The First Third – by Will Kostakis Life is made up of three parts: in THE FIRST THIRD you’re embarrassed by your family; in the second, you make a family of your own; and in the end, you just embarrass the family you’ve made. That’s how Billy’s grandmother explains it, anyway. She’s given him her bucket list (cue embarrassment), and now it’s his job to glue their family back together. No pressure or anything… Fixing this family’s not going to be easy and Billy’s not ready for change. But as he soon discovers, the first third has to end some time. AND THEN WHAT? It’s a Greek tragedy waiting to happen. The Side Kick – by Will Kostakis The Swimmer. The Rebel. The Nerd. All Ryan, Harley and Miles had in common was Isaac. They lived different lives, had different interests and kept different secrets. But they shared the same best friend. They were his sidekicks. And now Isaac’s gone, what does that make them? Will Kostakis, award-winning author of The First Third, perfectly depicts the pain and pleasure of this teenage world, piecing together three points of view with intricate splendour.

So I really do encourage our readers to give those two titles some attention, especially if writing is something you are interested in, and I KNOW there are some of YOU out there! A couple of new titles for our younger readers include:

The 78-Storey Treehouse – by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton Join Andy and Terry in their spectacular new 78-storey treehouse. They’ve added 13 new levels including a drive-thru car wash, a combining machine, a scribbletorium, and ALL_BALL sports stadium, Andyland, Terrytown, a high-security potato chip storage facility and an open-air movie theatre. Well?? What are you waiting for??? Come on up!!

400 MINUTES OF DANGER – by Jack Heath 10 stories. 10 dangerous situations. 10 brave kids. 40 minutes to escape. Brad has fallen into the lion enclosure and the big cats are hungry. Charith takes the wheel of an out-of-control bus after an explosion, to find there are no brakes. Tak’s class is on an excursion to an army base when an experimental military robot begins hunting them down. Minute, by minute, blow by blow… And finally, many of you may be familiar with Stephanie Alexander as a chef and founder of the Kitchen Garden Foundation for schools.

Recipes for Literacy – Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation Included in this book, available for general loan, are fantastic step-by-step recipes with clear and simple instructions, accompanied by photos of each step. Perfect for beginners, you can learn how to make basic pasta dough, pizza, bread, olive oil pastry and pasta sauces. Also included are staples like a master recipe leafy salad and rice fillings. A second book (not illustrated) provides information and activities around various facets of food, for example, the five tastes – sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami. Other areas investigated include Food in the Media and Careers in the Food Industry, certainly worth a look if you think you may be interested in this field. Well, that’s it for yet another instalment of Live. Learn. Library. As always,

feel free to come up and relax. There’s plenty to do, see and read, and remember…

You’re never lonely in the Library! Mrs Turner

NAIDOC 2016 This year’s NAIDOC theme is Songlines: the living narrative of our nation. Wellington High celebrated this event by hosting a number of activities for the whole school and community to participate and enjoy.

Bush Tucker with Westy and Ruth Aboriginal artefacts with Tim Naden Cricket with Australian reps Sara Darney and Sam Gordon Aboriginal story telling with Glenda Bell Herb Smith Motivational talk Snake man Boomerang and Spear throwing with Ralph Naden

The day was a success with all who participated. Wellington High school would like to thank everyone who was involved in making the day an enjoyable one, as our Aboriginal culture was put on showcase.

Concept Farm

The Concept Farm program commenced on Thursday 15th September 2016. Students were

asked to submit an expression of interest to participate in this alternative curriculum and I was very impressed with the level of interest shown by students in Year 9 and 10. 15 students were selected from this group to gain accreditation towards a Certificate III in Agriculture. This program will continue each Thursday for the remainder of the year. It was great to see the students getting involved in the agriculture industry with trainer Penny Clout from Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) and TAFE. I am looking forward to seeing the students develop their competencies in this field. Mrs Stevenson – Head Teacher Transition/VET

Don Green Cup This was held a little earlier this year to try and make the game more enjoyable before the weather got too hot. St Mary’s walked up to Wellington High School as usual and the day was ready to start. Girls on first, St Mary’s had a strong attacking side. The first 10 minutes for the girls finished as 1 all. Kiara Sullivan had intercepted a ball and ran the field to score. The second 10 minutes saw St Mary’s score another try leaving the score at 2-1 St Mary’s way. In the final 10 minutes there was no change. Both teams put up both a strong offence and defence. Kiara Sullivan received one of the best falcons I have ever seen in a game of touch football. Hopefully someone got a photo of this. Well done girls, everyone played well and kept your heads high. The boys went on firing, scoring in the first couple of minutes of their game. They continued to thrive throughout the whole game and put up both a strong offence and defence winning their game 12 – 0. Well done to the boys. Wellington High School now has the Don Green Cup back after numerous years. Well done everyone.

Years 7 & 8 Touch Football Gala Day Dubbo On Tuesday 6th September Touch NSW hosted an all schools Years 7 & 8 Gala day in Dubbo. Wellington High School had both a boys and girls team attend. In total there were 13 girls and boys teams. The girls were first up playing Parkes High School, we won 2 – 0 with Jacqui Ryan and Kiara Sullivan being our try scorers. The girls were a little fresh and took this game to warm up. Their second game was against Red Bend Catholic College, they were strong and you could tell they played together all the time, we lost this game 5 – 0. The girls seemed a little disheartened at this but didn’t give up. The third game was against Dubbo College South Campus, this was a draw 2 all, our try scorers for this game were Kiara Sullivan and Kaneesha Staggs. Our last game in the knockout was against Dubbo Christian School, the girls won this game 11 – 1, they really started playing like a team in the end, try scorers for this game were Arki – 4, Kiara – 5, Jacqui – 2. The girls didn’t make it into the semi’s however we came 5th overall on the day. The boys and girls played alternate games and the boys faced St Johns College to start. The game in Miss Pixton’s eyes was 3 -2, but the final score written up on the board was 2 all, we still don’t know what happened to that third try, try scorers for that game were Jye Elemes-Carr – 2 (one of which again we still don’t know why it was not allowed as it was a turnaround) and Lewis McCarthy. The boys then fronted Parkes Christian School at which they won 6 -1, our try scorers were Rylee Blackhall, Lewis - 2, Jack Dutfield, Warren Powell and Jye. Third game was against Dubbo College South Campus which the boys won 6 – 0, try scorers for this game were Lewis – 4, Jye and Kieren Hart. The boys last round robin game was against Parkes Christian School again, which they won 5 – 0, this put them into the semi-finals. The boys played against Dubbo College Delroy Campus in the semi-finals, they played hard and won their game progressing them into the grand final. In the grand final they played Red Bend Catholic College, again they were too strong for our boys. They put up a good fight but lost in the end. 2nd out of 13 was not too bad for a team that hadn’t played a lot together. Well done to everyone, was a great day. Thanks to Heidi Parkes and Luwana Lynch for coming along and refereeing, you overcame your nerves and did very well. Also a massive shout out to Shany Lewsam who at the last minute gave up her day and drove the bus for us.

Heighten beliefs that tertiary study is achievable with positive linkages between Aboriginal community, schools, CSU and Future Moves allowing students to gain a better understanding of what is available to them. 15 students have been able to access this program. The university mentors attended two days here at the school and next term students will attend the university campuses to get a feel for what university is really like. TAFE Exhibition TAFE Western Wellington Campus and Wellington High School combined together to run an exhibition for Years 10 – 12 giving the students the opportunity to gain a stronger understanding of courses run through the TAFE, TVET courses and opportunities after they finish school. Year 12 Early Entry, UAC and Scholarships Year 12 students have not only been busy completing their trial HSC, they have also been compiling their Early Entry applications, general applications and scholarships for University. I have been running afternoon sessions after school allowing for the students to complete these. UAC and SRS closes 30

th September 2016. Assure all information is finalised and

requested paperwork has been sent. Offers for some early entry applications will be given before the students finish their HSC.

REAL MADRID

In just over a week, the students who were selected to Travel to Madrid, accompanied by their coaches, will board their flight for an experience of a lifetime. We have been very fortunate, and appreciate very much, the generosity of people and organisations who have helped get us there and make this a reality. Most recently, we acknowledged the generosity of Tanya Mason, Psychologist and Managing Director of Macquarie Health Collective, who very kindy donated the hoodies that the tour group will wear with pride in Madrid. They were presented at our last assembly and students and staff looked amazing. We will be hard to lose in a crowd, that’s for sure. We also welcomed Allan Nicholson back from Wellington Junior Soccer to present the students with their new uniforms which will be worn whilst playing 2 games against other Social Sport Schools from around the world. The students will be playing against La Chopera Social Sports School and Luis Aragones Social Sports School and we wish them luck knowing they bring the values of the Foundation, respect, fair play and companionship to the competition. We also hope to see these values when we watch Real Madrid play Eibar in the First Division La Liga competition. The soccer makes up only one of the aspects of the trip we will experience and we look forward to sharing all others on our return. Mrs George Coach/Coordinator

TERM 3 – SRC REPORT

It has been another busy term for the SRC. We held our

annual Jeans for Genes Day fundraiser in the last week of

Term 2. Many generous donations from staff and students

alike meant we achieved our goal of raising more funds this

year than we have previously. Thank you to everyone who

participated and helped make this event possible.

The SRC also held a ‘Wear Red’ for Hear Our Hearts fundraiser. Wellington High School was

encouraged to wear red to school in support of the local organisation which provides a vital

service to our students. The SRC acknowledged how important the Hear Our Heart

organisation is to our local community by presenting representatives with a cheque at

assembly.

To finish off a fantastic term, our biggest social to date

was held on Thursday 15th of September. Everyone

who attended should feel proud to be part of such a

successful and enjoyable event.

We look forward to returning to school for Term 4 with

many exciting events to come!

A reminder to parents to notify the school about your child’s health We welcome information from parents about your child's health, even if you are not requesting specific support

from our school. Our school asks for medical information when you enrol your child. It is also important that you

let us know if your child’s health care needs change or if a new health condition develops.

Information about allergies, medical conditions such as asthma and diabetes and other health care related

issues (including prior conditions such as medical procedures in the last 12 months) should be provided to the

school by parents. Please provide this information in writing to the principal. This will greatly assist our school in

planning to support your child’s health and wellbeing.

Please also remember to notify staff in the school office of any changes to your contact details or to the contact

details of other people nominated as emergency contacts.

We appreciate your assistance in this regard and assure you that any information you provide the school will be

stored securely and will only be used or disclosed in order to support your son or daughter’s health needs or as

otherwise required by law.

Important information for parents of children who carry their own medication at school and/or who self-medicate.

Please remind your child to:

Carry their medication with them to and at school each day and/or as agreed with the school;

Know how and when this medication should be used;

Keep their medication with them in an easily accessible and identifiable spot. For example some parents have bought pouches so their children can carry around their adrenaline auto injector for anaphylaxis wherever they go;

Tell a teacher immediately if they start to feel unwell or sick at school. Please tell them this won’t get them into trouble if they do this;

Tell you immediately if their medication is used, lost or misplaced or is nearing its expiration date; and

Carry their medication with them on all school excursions, training at TAFE and any work experience or structured work place learning your child is involved in and as agreed with the school.

Keep a copy of their ASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis with their EpiPen®, Anapen® for anaphylaxis.

Keep a copy of their Asthma Action Plan with their asthma reliever medication for asthma.

NOTE FOR ANAPHYLAXIS and ASTHMA: The school still needs you to provide at least one

Additional EpiPen®, Anapen® and/or asthma reliever medication for your child in case we need it in an

emergency. This could happen, for example, if your child doesn’t have theirs with them at school when

it is needed. We will store it in a central location in the school and use it to help your child if needed.
