HIGH SCHOOL

Newsletter | Term 1 Week 8| 22 March 2019

What a wonderful South Sydney High School Open Day! Once again for the fourth year running, it was a true

indication of the collaboration which exists at our school. There were over 100 students who volunteered their

time and nearly all staff in attendance. There were over 600 visitors who came to see the school in action.

Classrooms and outdoor areas were open for everyone to see quality teaching and learning in action in all

areas of school life.

Our amazing Science staff attended the Open Day to showcase Science at SSHS to the local community. We

opened a laboratory classroom with lots of science activities involving magnets, microscopes, chemical

reactions, generating electricity, forces and more. The ever popular Science Shows showcased some of the

more spectacular demonstrations students see in class including elephant's toothpaste, hydrogen balloon

explosion and a metho rocket. We also had some activities running in one of the new outdoor classrooms to

showcase this brand new space (microscopes, solar energy kits, spinner drops). We would like to thank our

wonderful student volunteers who did an amazing job from helping us to set up, pack up, talking to parents

and children, running activities and really showing their passion for Science.

Technological and Applied Studies were kept busy all day. In the Commercial Kitchen, the TAS faculty

supervised students who assisted visitors to ice freshly baked cupcakes and enjoy delicious sandwiches

prepared by our Hospitality students. Over in the Industrial Technology workshops the air was alive with

excitement as Year 9 and 10 students used their problem solving skills to build a tool carrier.

Over in the library, Mr Chadwick led our talented Code Club students in demonstrations of their expertise and

answered many questions about all things technological at South Sydney High School. Interest was intense

with probing questions about opportunities and curriculum for junior and senior students.

The CAPA faculty were hard at work adding to the cultural richness of the day with a diverse music program

performed by the Music students and our talented Music staff in the F Block courtyard. An interactive studio in

Visual Arts was incredibly popular, and allowed our visitors to create using clay and contribute to a collaborate

art work led by the ever-creative Mr Baggaley. Students displayed their talents, led by Ms Healy, as they

showed focus and artistic flair in the creation of lino prints. A number of Year 9 Drama students spent the day

wandering amongst the crowd dressed in fabulous Commedia dell’arte costumes while many of our visitors

tried on the masks in the Drama room.

The English, Drama, LOTE and EALD faculty presented

several displays and activities around the school. Both

fiction and non-fiction writing samples were on display

from the junior school, showcasing some excellent student

writing from a range of writing competitions and school

activities including "Book in a Day", "What Matters" and

the "Youth Writing competition". Also displayed were

senior writing and performance projects including

Extension English major works, student speeches and multi

-modal presentations. There was also a display of

contemporary and classic texts studied at SSHS in stages

4-6. Information about the school's EALD (English as an

additional dialect) program was provided by Ms Kambos.

Ms Tilby ran interactive sessions on problem solving and

provided information about Tournament of the minds. Ms

Giordano and her students led interactive Spanish learning

games and displayed a range of Spanish language texts and

posters.

The HSIE Faculty put on a display of current texts used across Stages 4-5 as well as an impressive display of

student worked produced this year. The Commerce Product assignments were a particular standout as

students had created their own product for marketing. Open Day 2019 for the HSIE faculty was a collaborative

effort between teachers and students.

Our information hub was coordinated by a group of passionate, motivated and enthusiastic students from Year

7, 8 and 9 who were excellent ambassadors for HSIE and SSHS, answering questions on all aspects of life at

SSHS. They displayed a series of interactive activities used in class to develop students’ skills and knowledge in

History and Geography. Some students helped visitors explore archaeology through the mini dig whilst others

organised and directed the online interactive task "Make a Mummy". We also had a team of roving

Year 10 and 11 vox poppers, who gathered public feedback and quizzed unsuspecting community members

with a series of Geography, History and Commerce-based general knowledge questions.

Drama students performed around the school while visitors had the opportunity to work with Ms De Paor on

some drama activities, trying on costumes from the school supply.

Open day activities in Maths and PE were once again strong this year. The hands-on water and volume puzzle run by Mr Stamell was popular amongst parents and students, many successfully predicting the movements of amounts of water from one pyramid into an equivalent prism. Mr Armanios showed his fine chess skills, and some of our talented students participated in numerous games of giant chess against some very talented opponents from our local primary schools. Parents and their children were also given the opportunity to test their problem solving and thinking skills in the “escape room” run by Ms Rivett and Mr Yasaman.

Mr Wood, Mr Wagg, Ms Jarman and Ms Dawson kept everyone active with numerous sporting activities around the school. Trolley handball and indoor slide hockey were all a hit with multiple games simultaneously being played in the indoor gym.

The P&C worked hard on the BBQ and answered many questions about the school. It was wonderful to see so many of our parents eager to help and hard at work. There were displays about our Beacon Opportunity Programs, Duke of Edinburgh program and our many student leadership programs and extra curricula opportunities.

A huge thank you to Kelloggs for their generous donation to the school which enabled us to provide a jumping

castle and gelato carts for our day.

Ms Jarman displayed her exceptional organisational skills as she supervised our balloon stand for most of the

day.

Our School Captains James Grimshaw and Amta Audesh ably led the hall proceedings and along with our

prefects, SRC students and student volunteers, to great acclamation, led visitors on tours of the school. Our

Year 8 student speaker, Luisa Prochnow spoke very confidently about her experiences in our Enrichment

stream and has a great public speaking career ahead of her.

I would also again, like to acknowledge our staff, students and parents who gave up their Saturday to support

the school. There were many happy faces, smiling parents, enthusiastic staff and students. We look forward to

your continued support in spreading the good word about South Sydney High School.

Kind regards

Cathy Walton

Principal

Last week at our P&C meeting, Mr Askounis and Ms Hasking presented an analysis of the school’s NAPLAN

data. These presentations are always informative and provide some good insights into both the testing

process and how our school is performing. As a P&C, we do like to hold presentations for parents as a regular

feature – if there is a topic or an issue you would like to hear more about, please let us know via the email

account and we will endeavour to organise an appropriate speaker

We are holding an Election Day BBQ & cake stall at tomorrow’s state election. Choose our school as your

polling place and come and support our school by buying your ‘democracy sausage’ (or a bacon and egg roll!)

Please consider helping out for an hour – we still are in need of volunteers, particularly between 12-2 (which is

likely to be a busy time). If you cannot help out on the day, perhaps you may be able to donate a cake or a

slice to the cake stall (these can be dropped into the front office on Friday afternoon prior to 3.15, or to the

stall itself on the day).

As part of the fundraising effort, we are also holding a raffle, with tickets being sold at the BBQ. We have

sourced some fabulous prizes –

Tickets will be sold at the BBQ @ $2 each.

P&C News

Gifted, Talented & Enrichment

South Sydney Short Film Makers

On Wednesday 27th March our school will become a film studio for students from the Year 8 Drama & Film

Makers’ Ensemble who will join our SSEP students to ‘make a film in a day.’ These students are already coming

to SSCIM Club on a Thursday to fine tune their film making ideas.

Our school has been offered an opportunity to get involved in a Virtual Reality film being made by NIDA

students at South Sydney during the school holidays. Expect to hear more about this exciting development in

the coming weeks.

ICAS Exams

Parents of Enrichment stream students should have already received ICAS letters outlining the arrangements

for ICAS examinations this year. Payment along with a signed letter from parents needs to be submitted to the

Student Office before the end of Term 2.

Senior SSCIM Camp, Cockatoo Island, May 8th – 10th 2019

Planning is well underway for this year’s senior SSCIM Camp. This will take place on Cockatoo Island early in

Term 2. Students wishing to attend should come to SSCIM Club on a Thursday and discuss their planned

projects with Ms de Paor and Mr Wagg. Permission notes need to be returned and $180 paid to the student

office.

Chess Team & Workshop 13th March

Come and visit our SSCIM meetings on a Thursday at lunchtime and see our students busily discovering who

the chess enthusiasts are so that we can support them to represent our school in chess competitions that are

coming up next term. Many of our chess enthusiasts joined our SSEP students on Wednesday 13th March for a

Chess Masterclass with the Sydney Academy of Chess.

Science News Year 7 Water Purification Challenge

Our Year 7 students are currently exploring a range of techniques used to separate the components of some

common mixtures. After exploring the theory behind effective filters, 7 Yellow students were issued a

challenge to design and build a water purification system.

Professor Tim Flannery Talk

South Sydney High School were really lucky to have a visit from Professor Tim Flannery, eminent scientist and

2007 Australian of the Year, to give a presentation on the need for science and innovation as we address the

challenges of climate change. Students from Year 9-11 attended the talk and were able to ask questions about

some of the innovative new technologies and directions in carbon absorption.

Dressed for Success On Tuesday 12th March Year 10 & 11 girls were invited to attend a special event ‘Dressed for Success’. The aim

of the excursion is to provide students with the opportunity to learn about personal presentation and how to

dress for work or a job interview. The girls attended a workshop in which discussion centred on colour

co-ordinating business attire and choosing accessories to suit the individual.

The girls were then invited to choose their outfit with the assistance of individual stylist. The students were

then able to take the chosen business attire home, which included co-ordinated shoes and jewellery.

A very exciting event … as every girl was Dressed for Success!

Mrs Brookes

Careers Adviser

On 26th February our Year 11 Retail Students were given a tour of the South Sydney High School Canteen to

investigate how it meets WHS Work Safe standards. What we discovered is that Nick, the canteen proprietor

runs a tight ship! Having won awards from the NSW Canteen Association and being very proud of his

business- he was very happy to let the class through. Flying colours was his score. Thank you Nick for letting

our students witness excellent WHS practices.

Sports @ SSHS….So Far! It has been an incredibly busy start to the sporting calendar in 2019 with events being held at school, zone and

regional levels. Here is a snapshot of all that has happened and the success stories we’ve had so far…

Volleyball

The boy’s team experienced the highs and lows of sport in a short space of time winning their round one

knockout game in comprehensive fashion against GRC Peakhurst. The thrill of victory was short lived however

as their round two opponents Tempe HS defeated the SSHS team in emphatic style.

The girl’s team were involved in a thriller in their round one game, despite eventually losing to Tempe HS also.

For the majority of the girls it was their first ever formal volleyball match against a team who possessed far

more experience. This did not phase the SSHS team who produced an exceptional performance based on team

work and positive communication to narrowly be beaten in three sets with the final set decided 15-13.

Well done to both teams

Cricket

It has been a number of years since we have been able to put a cricket team into the Combined High School’s

KO but this year after some enthusiastic petitioning from the Year 9 and Year 10 boys we did.

A tough draw resulted in our opponents being Engadine HS who have experienced success in this sport in

recent times but for any passing spectator it would not have looked at all like a David and Goliath battle,

instead it was a classic underdog performance from the SSHS boys who produced a cracking performance

which very nearly saw them take down their much fancied opponent. Mr Moreland was so impressed with the

performance that he is already asking for a cricketing centre of excellence to be set up for the 2019/2020

summer.

Zone Gala Day Trials

For the second year in a row SSHS has been at the forefront of facilitating opportunities for our students and

students across the zone to showcase their sporting skills in a competitive, yet friendly way. Once again, our

school hosted both the boy’s soccer, and the boys and girls touch football events. The Zone Gala Day Trials are

designed to do just this; students from across the zone participate in a round robin event from which they can

be selected as Zone Representatives to attend the regional trial in the relevant sport. These days are held for

the sports of Soccer, Netball, Basketball and Touch Football. The following students were successful in being

selected as Zone Representatives.

Adam Ibrahim Year 11 Basketball

Emanuele Galli Year 12 Basketball Ali Zaman Year 12 Basketball Antonio Padilla Year 11 Soccer Rafael Marcelino Year 11 Soccer Jake Aguilar Year 10 Soccer Rick Aguilar Year 8 Soccer Will Giataganelis Year 9 Soccer

Swimming Carnivals

After the cold and wet versions in 2018, Mother Nature blessed us this year for both the School and Zone

Swimming Carnivals, both which were held at Botany Pool.

The school carnival was a wonderful day highlighted by high levels of participation across both the competitive

and novelty events. It was wonderful to see so many of our Year 7 students getting involved, and it was also

great to see our House Captains leading their teams in such an enthusiastic and positive way.

At the zone carnival the students who progressed from the school carnival represented themselves and the

school in exceptional fashion. There were some amazing performances (see below for more) from all of the

swimmers on the day but the most pleasing aspect of the day was the team mentality demonstrated by all of

our students. Led by Ms Lopez; who was team manager on the day, Brendan Wardrop (Year 12), Jessica Zhang

and Jessica Hausman (both Year 10) our team were a well-oiled machine. Every relay team was effectively and

fairly organized; it was wonderful to see everyone being given a chance to swim in the team events on the day.

A wrap up on sport thus far would not be complete without highlighting the wonderful performances, and talent, of Frederick Mravec in Year 7 at the zone carnival. Below are the records that Frederick broke on the day. These are just a small sample of his amazing performances. The entire school community is excited to see what Frederick can achieve both this year and in the future.

Mobile Phone Policy

The Department of Education has completed a recent review of

mobile phone use in schools. Whilst mobile phones are not

banned outright at South Sydney High School, we will be

reviewing our current policy as more findings become available.

If your child does bring a phone to school, please ensure that he/

she:

*Keeps their phone in their bag at all times

*Uses their phone in class only when asked to (for educational

purposes) by their teacher

Behaviour Expectations

At South Sydney High School we set high expectations for behaviour and learning for all our students.

It is important that all students are taught what is expected of them and have opportunities to practise these

expected behaviours.

Having clear expectations for behaviour allows South Sydney High School to provide consistency in what we

teach, what we acknowledge and what we expect in terms of student behaviour. This will alow students to

strive to achieve by working to the best of their abilities.

Students are then explicitly taught the expectations, when and where they should be used and what each

expectation looks like and sounds like. We will be facilitating lessons on each of our Behaviour expectations

pictured on the next page throughout all year groups over the next four weeks.
