UNIFORM It is pleasing to see the majority of our students wearing the correct school uniform. Our Junior Secondary students have been setting an excellent example each Tuesday by wearing the full formal uniform. All students are required to wear this uniform not only on Tuesday but also for other formal occasions and school photo day which will be coming up soon. If for some reason your student cannot wear the correct uniform on a particular day they need to have a note from you which they will then bring to Student Services so that they can be issued with a clean item of uniform or a uniform pass for the day.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS To ensure that your student receives the best possible education it is important that they are at school, in classes and learning every day. Apart from genuine illness, necessary family engagements and school events, students should be at school. We are proud to prepare our students for life. Life after school will involve being on time to a job or tertiary classes. Please insist on your student getting to school on time, every day. Every day counts.

SOCIAL MEDIA Are you aware of what your student does in relation to using social media? Many of the issues we see in school are a direct result of hurtful comments made in relation to others. The old saying – ‘if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all’ would certainly save a lot of angst and grief amongst social media users. We would appreciate your support in talking about responsible use of social media with your students.

COMMANDMENTS OF GOOD PARENTING (Cont) Does your child have behavior problems? Your relationship with your child likely needs some attention. By Jeanie Lerche Davis Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MDWebMD Feature

6. Foster your child's independence. "Setting limits helps your child develop a sense of self-control. Encouraging independence helps her develop a sense of self-direction. To be successful in life, she's going to need both." It is normal for children to push for autonomy, says Steinberg. "Many parents mistakenly equate their child's independence with rebelliousness or disobedience. Children push for independence because it is part of human nature to want to feel in control rather than to feel controlled by someone else." 7. Be consistent. "If your rules vary from day to day in an unpredictable fashion or if you enforce them only intermittently, your child's misbehavior is your fault, not his. Your most important disciplinary tool is consistency. Identify your non-negotiables. The more your authority is based on wisdom and not on power, the less your child will challenge it." Many parents have problems being consistent, Steinberg tells WebMD. "When parents aren't consistent, children get confused. You have to force yourself to be more consistent." 8. Avoid harsh discipline. Parents should never hit a child, under any circumstances. "Children who are spanked, hit, or slapped are more prone to fighting with other children," he writes. "They are more likely to be bullies and more likely to use aggression to solve disputes with others." "There is a lot of evidence that spanking causes aggression in children, which can lead to relationship problems with other kids," Steinberg tells WebMD. "There are many other ways to discipline a child, including 'time out,' which work better and do not involve aggression." 9. Explain your rules and decisions. "Good parents have expectations they want their child to live up to," he writes. "Generally, parents overexplain to young children and underexplain to adolescents. What is obvious to you may not be evident to a 12-year-old. He doesn't have the priorities, judgment or experience that you have." An example: A 6-year-old is very active and very smart -- but blurts out answers in class, doesn't give other kids a chance, and talks too much in class. His teacher needs to address the child behavior problem. He needs to talk to the child about it, says Steinberg. "Parents might want to meet

with the teacher and develop a joint strategy. That child needs to learn to give other children a chance to answer questions." 10. Treat your child with respect. "The best way to get respectful treatment from your child is to treat him respectfully," Steinberg writes. "You should give your child the same courtesies you would give to anyone else. Speak to him politely. Respect his opinion. Pay attention when he is speaking to you. Treat him kindly. Try to please him when you can. Children treat others the way their parents treat them. Your relationship with your child is the foundation for her relationships with others." For example, if your child is a picky eater: "I personally don't think parents should make a big deal about eating," Steinberg tells WebMD. "Children develop food preferences. They often go through them in stages. You don't want turn mealtimes into unpleasant occasions. Just don't make the mistake of substituting unhealthy foods. If you don't keep junk food in the house, they won't eat it." Likewise, the checkout line tantrum can be avoided, says Natale. "Children respond very well to structure. You can't go shopping without preparing them for it. Tell them, 'We will be there 45 minutes. Mommy needs to buy this. Show them the list. If you don't prepare them, they will get bored, tired, upset by the crowds of people." "Parents forget to consider the child, to respect the child," Natale tells WebMD. "You work on your relationships with other adults, your friendships, your marriage, dating. But what about your relationship with your child? If you have a good relationship, and you're really in tune with your child, that's what really matters. Then none of this will be an issue." http://www.webmd.com/parenting/features/10-commandments-good-parenting?page=2

ROSTRUM VOICE OF YOUTH Seven Kingaroy SHS students recently competed in the Kingaroy / Nanango heats of Rostrum Voice of Youth, a public speaking competition where students aim to improve their oral communication skills. Our two competitors in the Senior competition, Year 12 students Mikhaela Williams and Mel Hanwright, delivered their speeches very well but were not selected to move on to the regional round of the competition. Year 10 student Dayna Pukallus and Year 9

students Meghann Plant, Rhylee Skilton, Naomi Noll and Oscar Schmidt participated in the Junior competition, with all students presenting excellent speeches which were very well received by the adjudicators.

Congratulations to Dayna, who won the local Junior heat and will travel this Saturday to Toowoomba to compete in the regional final. Well done to all of our competitors for preparing speeches outside of their normal school responsibilities. aI am sure that the benefits of participating in Rostrum will benefit your future studies.

YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE IN PREPARATION

FOR SET PLANNING

Year 10 students will select their Year 11 subjects in Semester 2 during a Senior Education and Training Plan interview (SET Plan) where they will discuss their career path and the best subject choices to achieve that outcome. For those students who are unsure of what career path they would like to pursue, I would suggest that they discuss doing Work Experience with their parents. This will give students a good idea of what is involved in a particular area of work. It is strongly recommended that students complete this work experience before their SET Plan interview.

Students in Years 11, 12 and those in Year 9 who are 14 years of age may also do work experience.

If you have any enquiries regarding Work Experience, please contact

me on 41600623. Leanne Krosch,Leanne Krosch,Leanne Krosch,Leanne Krosch, HOD SENIOR SCHOOLING & THE ARTS

STUDENT WORK EXPERIENCE Over the Easter holidays I had the opportunity to participate in work experience at the Kingaroy Police Station where I was fortunate

enough to experience many different aspects of the Police force. I spent time in the station observing the day-to-day workings of the station. I was also taken out to the Police Holding Yard to see many different cars that had been involved in accidents. On another occasion I was taken to see the Stock Squad paddocks and facilities. While at the station I also had the opportunity to observe the function and processes

involved in maintaining the Properties room. I was even given the opportunity to go to the Kingaroy Courthouse and witnessed two different court hearings.

After completing my work experience I have become far more interested in the Police Force and I am intent on pursuing a career in this profession. After spending time with the people at the station and having the opportunity to speak to lots of police officers, asking them questions about the profession and the day to day workings of the Police Station, I have gained a far better understanding of what I will experience if I am accepted into the Police Academy.

I thoroughly enjoyed my week of work experience. I was given so many opportunities to experience new things, meet many great people and learn a lot about the Police Force. I would recommend work experience to any student who is interested, as it is a great opportunity and I am very thankful to have been able to experience it.

My sincere thanks to Senior Sergeant Duane Frank and the staff at the Kingaroy Police Station, who made my work experience so enjoyable and informative. Thomas Newman (Yr 11 Student)Thomas Newman (Yr 11 Student)Thomas Newman (Yr 11 Student)Thomas Newman (Yr 11 Student)

IMPORTANCE OF READING Reading is an essential skill for today and is something that can be achieved at any time, in any place. A study out of the University of London’s Institute of Education found, “Children who read for pleasure are likely to do significantly better at school than their peers”. “The IOE study, which is believed to be the first to examine the effect of reading for pleasure on cognitive development over time, found that children who read for pleasure made more progress in maths, vocabulary and spelling between the ages of 10 and 16 than those who rarely read.” Battye, C. & Rainsberry, M. (2013) Reading for pleasure puts children ahead in the classroom, study finds London: Institute of Education, University of London The Accelerated Reader program for years 7-9 gives students the opportunity to read. Parents at home can assist this valuable program by encouraging their child to read, listen to their child read out loud, take an interest in what their child is reading and model reading themselves. If you have any questions please ask Mrs Connelly, or the class Accelerated Reader teacher, or our teacher/librarian, Mrs Conomos. Reading is important, because if you can read, you can learn anything about everything and everything about anything. —Tomie dePaola

LIONS RECYCLE FOR SIGHT AUSTRALIA

During the past ten years, Lions Recycle for Sight Australia has collected close to 4 million pair of spectacles thanks to an Australia Post Reply Paid Facility, 1,000 Lions/Lioness Clubs in Australia and several hundred clubs in Japan. The Centre has shipped close to 3.5 million pair throughout the world to help people who would otherwise be unable to see well. The Lions Recycle for Sight Australia programme operates throughout Australia and you can be part of this amazing service by dropping off your old (even partly broken) spectacles in the box in the Kingaroy State High School Administration foyer for collection by the local Lions team.

AN UNIDENTIFIED BANK TRANSACTION An amount of money was transferred into the school bank account from the Bank of Queensland on 22/4/15. The entry had no identifier on the transaction. Would you please contact me if you transferred any money to the school account on that date.

LLIIBBRRAARRYY NNEEWWSS Congratulations to the huge number of Year 7, 8 and 9 students who were awarded Vivos points for their great progress in Accelerated Reader in the last two weeks. All Junior school students are required to be reading regularly – every day! At present, students are completing STAR tests to check their progress from the start of the year. Keep working hard on your reading – it really is an important life skill.

Mrs Ahnon has recently set up a new display at the library entrance which is all about fun with words. How good are you at these tongue twisters? Freshly-fried flying fish; unique New York; many an anemone sees and enemy anemone; red lorry, yellow lorry? The other display that always generates lots of interest is the News board of photos of our students from local papers.

Finally, the cool weather has arrived. What better way to spend the weekend than with a book, curled up inside. If you’ve read any great books that you think would be worthwhile additions to our school library collection, please let us know. You can contact me via email – [email protected]..

LAURA SELECTED IN QLD UNDER 15 GIRLS

NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM

Year 10 Kingaroy State High student Laura Gray is the first female from the South Burnett/Wide Bay region to be selected in the Qld National Premier League. The National Championships will be held 4th to the 11th July at Coffs Harbour. Laura will train each Friday evening from 1st May with the State team and then goes into Camp prior to the National Championship.

Her success follows on from being selected in the Queensland Under 15 Girls Schools team in 2014, which included a tour to Japan.

More information can be provided closer to the event but this is a good news story for the school having one of their students doing well in “school sport”, South Burnett/Wide Bay and State representation. This selection in the QLD NPL is the culmination of Laura’s commitment and hard work.

YEAR 9 NEWS Term 2 is almost half finished; how time flies when you’re having fun! Assessment is due or close to being due across many subjects. We encourage all Year 9 students to spend time each night studying their class notes and completing homework. Sustained focus over many weeks is likely to produce better results than a ‘night before’ job. There are many Year 9 students who are already putting in the hard yards at home and in the classroom; we remind these students to check their VIVO accounts regularly and cash in their points for rewards.
