Principal’s Thoughts Bruce Nield

Acting Principal

Elective Selection 2015 Students in Years 10 and 11 will have their electives form handed in by the end of today – please contact me on Monday if for some reason your child has not submitted this form. I have sat down with every student in these years this week to discuss their interests and career directions as part of choosing their electives. The Lines for 2015 and projected lines for 2016 will be distributed at our next Stage 6 meeting on the 13th of August at 1:45pm in the Computer Lab, which parents are encouraged to attend. The Stage 5 2015 (Years 9 and 10 in 2015) Electives meeting will be held on the 19th of August at 11:20am in the Computer Lab, which parents are encouraged to attend. This meeting will cover the requirements for Years 9 and 10 in NSW Schools and how the ROSA (Record of School Achievement) works for Stage 5 students.

Fairfax Ten students from Years 7 to 9 have commenced their involvement in this year’s Fairfax Festival. I thank the Fairfax Festival for sending Ryan McRobb, Tamara Lee and Erin Timms to our school. Students are looking at integrating technology into performance and will be part of the Festival on the 19th of September in Swan Hill. Debating Congratulations to our Stage 3 debaters who won against Finley Public in their Round 5 debate. They were the affirmative and the topic was 'All primary classes should have cooking lessons.' New Staff We welcomed Tammy Pethers this fortnight, replacing Emma Gentle as a learning aide providing support to our primary students. We also welcome to our casual staff Ms Zoe Fuller who has recently completed a practicum at our school.

Merit Scheme

To reward our students’ positive behaviour Tooleybuc Central School runs a strong Merit Scheme. Students are awarded ‘Merit Awards’ during the school year and an accumulation of these merits equates to levels.

Bronze Level 10 Merits Silver Level Bronze plus and extra 20 Merits Gold Level Silver plus an extra 30 Merits.

Primary students are given a ‘Lucky Dip’ at the achievement of each level, secondary students are given a $2.00 voucher to spend at the canteen, then primary and secondary are presented with a certificate at our Whole School Assembly.

“I don’t like that” Having trouble with fussy eaters? Try these following tips:

No one food is essential, try to offer children a variety of choices from each food group, it is possible to receive similar nutrients from a number of foods within each food group.

Offer food and then take it away if not eaten, it is best not to make a fuss. If the child is hungry later, re-offer the same food rather than something extra.

Encourage children to at least try each food on their plate. It may help to serve new foods with at least one food you know the child likes.

Involve children in shopping and cooking, this will often increase their interest in eating.

Primary News Simon Dunn (Assistant Principal) Primary Debating Last Thursday we had two primary debating teams travel to Deniliquin to participate in a Debating Gala Day against students from Deniliquin, Finley and Mayrung. It was a fantastic day with all of the debaters putting in a good effort. I would like to thank Scott for helping to transport students over for the day. Canberra On Monday the 5/6 class will be departing for our excursion to Canberra and the Snow. Please make sure that you are at school by 5:45am at the latest as we are departing at 6:00am sharp. Year 1-2 Michelle Jenvey (Class Teacher) Students in Year 1-2 have already been quite busy participating in many class activities across all Key Learning Areas. In our English sessions, students have been learning and practising to play some games to help facilitate the building of skills in this area. One game which students have found to be extremely challenging is “Shivers Me Timbers”. In this game students have to navigate their way around the game board collecting initial, middle and final sounds to make words. The first student to make 6 words spelled correctly is the winner.

In this game Murdoch is making a move while Jayla, Alexander and Kayla watch.

Alexander and Alesha are discussing and predicting the changes that may take place with some objects we photographed last week when playing “I Spy”.

This is the beginning of our Science unit “Up, Down and all Around”. Games are also an integral part of learning in Mathematics. They help to build and improve the skills that students already have. The games are fun and the students don’t realise just how much learning they are doing during them.

In this game of “Wishball”, Kusi is deciding whether to select a ‘hundred’, ‘ten’ or ‘one’ to reach the target number. This is a game where students use place value to reach a target number.

In the game, “Find the Bone”, Quinton has one minute to locate the ten numbers on a hundreds chart. All students have made improvements in this game.

Secondary News

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education Benjamin Miller (Class Teacher) Year 7/8 have been investigating risk taking behaviours and preparing them to make safe and sensible decisions in PE. The Year 9/10 PASS class is very excited for their Snow Trip on the 3rd of August to Perisher snowfields with Barham High School. This trip will be an exciting weeklong excursion, which will test their coordination, skill and balance while experiencing a new sport. So far my introduction to Tooleybuc Central School has been a wonderful, pleasant and an exciting experience. I have been welcomed into the school with open arms by the staff and students. All of the students have been an absolute pleasure to teach and I am looking forward to helping the students to develop new skills and opportunities while maintaining an exciting school life. Career News with Mrs Morton Year 10 Work experience at Tooleybuc Central has begun with three of our students undertaking a week at various accountancy firms in Swan Hill. Rachael Hoare attended PDF Accounting Jaide Berg attended Logan & Hall Harry Hickey attended Poole and Associates. All students thoroughly enjoyed their week and were treated to a lunch on the Friday at the Swan Hill Club after touring Swan Hill to view some of the different areas accountants work in. All of our students gained very positive reports from their employers and represented the school wonderfully. This week Harry Hickey is completing a week in electrical with Billy Charnock and I look forward to reporting on his week in the future. A BIG reminder to all Year 10 students to get their paperwork in for work experience ASAP.

Harry, Jaide and Rachael at Accountancy Work Expericne with other students from Swan Hill.

Mock Interview Day is rapidly approaching (14th August) and students need to be getting organised for this important event.

their website to book a visit.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF OPEN DAY VISITS – Don’t wander aimlessly….try the following:

Get an Open Day Guide eg from www.deakin.edu.au/openday, www.openday.unimelb.edu.au, or http://destination.monash/open-day). Plan to be at Open Day when relevant information sessions are scheduled

Allow sufficient time for your visit; two hours or so would be advisable

Speak to staff about courses which interest you - note your questions beforehand

Get a student perspective - speak to students studying courses which interest you

Collect information/brochures

Ask about industry based-learning (IBL) opportunities; these can assist with gaining employment

Ask about international study opportunities – a popular option

Consider transport issues; is the campus accessible from where you live?

Check the environment where you will study; will you be happy there for three/four years?

Consider the facilities/clubs offered at your preferred institution

Consider visiting a rural campus, especially if you think you won’t obtain a high enough ATAR for a metropolitan campus. ATAR’s are often lower and they often offer more personal assistance, accommodation, and a lifestyle which will suit some students.

NOTE: If you plan to apply for a course involving an interview/folio presentation/ audition as part of the selection process, attendance is A MUST! You might be asked what you learned at Open Day. ANOTHER CAREERS EXPO – The Melbourne Careers Expo is a careers and education event with 180+ exhibitors from many occupations, information from universities, VET, private providers, ‘try a trade’, seminars, GAP year, and government student services.

The B. Health Science and B. Business (Caulfield campus).

ARE THERE STILL JOBS IN JOURNALISM? Career Practitioners at a conference at Monash Uni, heard about opportunities in journalism. Journalism is not in decline; it is newspapers that are in decline; newspapers and journalism are not the same thing. The digital era that is destroying the old business model is opening up opportunities. We are entering an age where we can combine all media to tell our stories. Skills needed include enterprise, independence and resourcefulness. Jobs in media are fragmenting with online opportunities proliferating. Journalists need to: think critically, understand the concepts of evidence and impartial argument, find stories, research, interview, write, edit, know the difference between good/bad writing, and digital skills in content creation and distribution. With the skills of journalism, you are a good fit for jobs in many areas such as PR, communications, speechwriting and producing. NOTE: Journalism can be studied at most universities. WHAT ABOUT SURVEYING? Surveying offers opportunities for those looking for a diverse and varied career. The national demand for surveyors means graduates are more likely to secure jobs in surveying compared with many other professions. Surveyors get to work indoors and outdoors, taking precise measurements using specialised technology, then analysing and interpreting the results. Students interested in maths, geography, physics and science could be suited to this career.
