THE JOURNAL OF HUNTERS HILL HIGH SCHOOL

Director General’s Visit to Hunters Hill High School

Dr Michele Bruniges, Director General of Education and Communities, visited our school on Tuesday 28th May. Myra Wearne, the acting School Education Director, accompanied Dr Michele Bruniges on the visit. They were welcomed by: Ms Judith Felton, Principal of Hunters Hill High School; Parents & Citizens’ President and Vice President Deborah Slack and Louise Morgan; the school Executive Team and School Captains, Alexis Love and James Jelly.

Dr Bruniges was taken on a tour of the school to see the school’s state of the art kitchen facilities where the Year 12 Hospitality class were preparing a scrumptious lunch, led by Food Technology teacher Ms Kurtz, which the students later catered in the school hall. The tour also included a visit to the Science Laboratories, which have been recently renovated.

Brittany Roulston and Jake Jamieson welcomed Dr Bruniges and the rest of the party into the school Hall with a musical item, where Dr Bruniges was introduced to the five ex-student teachers currently teaching or completing their practicums at Hunters Hill High School. The ex-student teachers include: Iva Slavica, Ana Slavica, Ruth Simpson, Chey Anderson and Eliza Turner. These inspirational young teachers shared their story and journey at Hunters Hill High School with the Director General and all present.

The Figtree Café baristas made everyone delicious coffee and chatted enthusiastically with Dr Bruniges about their HSC Plus Course, co-ordinated by Careers Adviser, Mr David Bastian.

Dr Bruniges was then joined by the school leadership team and they visited Ms Buchanan’s History class where she demonstrated a superb lesson to the Year 7 Navigate class.

The day was a great success and in her closing speech Dr Bruniges recognised the Hunters Hill High School’s values of community and catering to individual students.

It was truly inspirational to see the continuum of young teachers with expert teachers celebrating the values of public education.

Thank you to all the students and teachers involved who contributed to making this occasion a highlight on our school calendar.

Iva Slavica Teacher

Correspondence received from Dr Michele Bruniges: Dear Judith, I want to take the opportunity to thank you for the warm reception I received by the HHHS community last Tuesday. I always enjoy getting back into schools and I appreciated the opportunity to meet with your Executive, who are clearly very passionate about the school’s continuing success. It was also terrific to see so many former students and members of the Parents and Citizen’s Association also in attendance. Please extend my thanks to your team for such an enjoyable visit and pass on a special thanks to the hospitality students for a delicious lunch. Warm regards, Michele Bruniges

YOUNG TEACHERS ADDRESS THE DIRECTOR GENERAL

Good afternoon. My name is Chey Anderson and I am currently completing my practical experience as a Japanese and ESL teacher here at Hunters Hill High School. Currently, I’m running three Japanese classes; a year 7, a year 8 and a year 9 class, which I am enjoying immensely. Being able to share my love of Japanese and watching the students get excited about learning a new language and culture has been extremely rewarding.

Understandably, teaching is anything but easy. I only began my Graduate Diploma of Education at Macquarie University in January this year and already I have done countless hours of lesson preparation and needed to learn and apply a variety of different skills. Each day I teach, I realise just how multi-faceted a career this is.

With this realisation, I look back and am grateful for the well-rounded education that I received right here at Hunters Hill High School. I had so many wonderful opportunities attending this school, not only were my classroom teachers great, but my learning wasn’t limited to the classroom. There was, and I’m thankful to learn that there continues to be, a diverse range of extra-curricular activities allowing students to foster and build upon all kinds of talents and skills.

In the 6 years I was here, from 2003 to 2008, I attended SRC meetings, competed in public speaking competitions, participated in debates, was part of the student newspaper team and participated in a variety of sporting events. I was the Age Cross-Country and Athletics Champion every year, except for 2006, when I was on a 5 month exchange program in Japan.

My favourite teacher, Ms Talbot, my Japanese teacher and my current mentor teacher, encouraged me to go on this exchange program. She had since first teaching me in Year 8, instilled in me a love for the Japanese language and culture and instilled in me the confidence that was required to take the huge step to leave my family and friends here in Australia and experience life in a new culture, speaking a different language and relating to a new family. I cannot tell you how much I learnt in those 5 short months overseas. But I can tell you how thankful I am that I was so well supported and encouraged to participate by the staff and students at Hunters Hill High.

I really enjoyed building many relationships with my fellow students and staff while I was here. My role as the female School Captain in 2008, enabled me to foster many of these relationships and I still look back on the amazing experiences made available to me as a result of the many opportunities I was given to represent this school. I met a variety of wonderful and prestigious people such as the Governor of NSW, Professor Marie Bashir.

While I was still in primary school, a mere year 5 student, Hunters Hill High was threatened with closure. My brother was a student here at the time and really loved it and it had always been my hope that I too would attend this school. As a result my family was part of the protests, and while I didn’t fully comprehend what I was doing as I attended protest after protest, I’m so glad that the decision was made to have this wonderful school, remain open.

To be back at this school that has given me so much and teaching and encouraging students so that they might have a rich school experience like mine, is truly an honour. What better career is there than one that encourages the future people of our society to make the best of the opportunities given them and to share them with others?

Chey Anderson

Good Afternoon. My name is Eliza Turner and I am currently undertaking a four week practical experience with the HSIE department, teaching Year 12 Legal Studies, Year 10 Commerce and Year 10 History, as a part of my Master of Teaching degree with Sydney University. When I was asked to make this speech, around my experiences of Hunters Hill High, the first word that came to me was

‘Opportunity’. As a student here from 2003-2008, Hunters Hill High gave me the priceless opportunity of being part of a co-educational, comprehensive school with rich community ties. In terms of activities, I had the opportunities to be a part of the school leadership team, SRC, representing the school at sporting events, public speaking- the list is never ending. But there are three anecdotes I would like to share with you all in particular.

The first would be the opportunity of going on an overseas trip to Italy, France and Belgium. This overseas trip would spark a new tradition by committed Hunters Hill Teachers, who have since run trips to Vietnam, Thailand and soon to be Japan. This overseas trip over the 2007 Easter Break was organised by the HSIE Head teacher Pam Buchanan and assisted by Michael Murphy and I am in debt to you both. As a training history teacher, I can appreciate the sites of Pompeii and the Western Front even more, with anecdotes at the ready for my future students. But the trip itself showed the commitment and love of Hunters Hill High Teachers - Michael Murphy staying inside a hotel with me when I was sick, missing out on French Tourist sites-the day of climbing the Eiffel tower no less. Pam organised for us all to go to the Eiffel Tower on our last night, so I could still see it. Since the visit, History has become a strong part of my identity, not only as a student but now as a teacher in training.

It is poignant that I use a historical quote to lead into my next example of opportunity – ‘Ability is nothing without opportunity’. This quote by Napoleon Bonaparte sums up my experience with debating and public speaking at Hunters Hill High School. As a keen debater and public speaker, representing the State in primary school, Hunters Hill High school continued to give me opportunities to explore and develop my public speaking skills and debating. I was given the chance to speak at major school events and in the public domain at Anzac ceremonies but also at Public Speaking competitions in the Rostrum Competition, winning the local division twice. This passion for debating and public speaking has continued and to give back, so that others have the same opportunities that I had, I have adjudicated for the DEC for both primary and secondary Premier’s Debating, Challenged Coached at North Sydney Boys in 2011 and, during my prac I have been assisting the Year 7 and 8’s debating team for their upcoming competition.

These previous anecdotes have showed clear examples of opportunities luckily bestowed upon me. This last anecdote just shows that indeed when one door closes another door opens, and in this case, opens you up to a whole new direction. Imagine yourself as a Year 11 student deciding your future based on subject lines. On this particular line there was Art, Chemistry and Legal Studies. With no artistic ability and no desire for science, you left with Legal Studies. However within all problems lie opportunities. This opportunity changed my life. Not only would Legal Studies become a favourite subject but here I stand today, a Legal Studies teacher, due to the wonderful subject and inspiring Hunters Hill High teachers.

And here today I stand as another example of Hunters Hill High School giving opportunities, in this case to an ex-student. Not only has the school inspired me to come back to give back but to become a passionate teacher in the NSW Public Education System.

EAT YOUR WORDS

‘EAT YOUR WORDS’ commenced in 2011 and is still going strong in 2013. It is a literacy program offered to selected Year 8 students that aims to develop students’ literacy skills and improve organisation. It is also a great place where students can ask those explicit questions and get assistance from their teacher and peers.

I have had the privilege of working with some enthusiastic Year 8 students this year who are keen to improve and are taking up opportunities like this one that our school has to offer. Likewise, I am extremely grateful to the mentors who have committed their time to the ‘Eat Your Words’ program – Jane Andrews, Obi Williams, Luke Nelson, Nathan May and Harry Parsons. Their leadership as well as their personable approach have meant that the Year 8 students feel comfortable to ask questions and are assured with the advice and knowledge being shared. Seeing that the above Year 11 students are half way through their Preliminary HSC year with Year 12 just around the corner, they will need every spare chance they can get to focus on their studies and find a healthy balance between study and rest. Their mentorship has been invaluable and will be missed at the workshops.

Ms Ana assumed the leadership of ‘Eat Your Words’ from Week 6, Term 2. It will continue to be held on Wednesdays at Lunchtime in Room 305. The same Year 8 students are involved.

NAPLAN

The National Assessment Program: Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) was carried out on the 14th, 15th and 16th May. NAPLAN is an annual assessment of students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 that allows teachers

to document and evaluate the progress of students’. Skills in reading, writing, language (grammar, punctuation and spelling) and numeracy.

Head Teacher English, Mr Michael Walkom, delivered a comprehensive seminar to the Parents and Citizens’ Association early in Term 1 to ensure that students and their families were fully informed on the theory and processes of NAPLAN.

At Hunters Hill High School, students are well prepared for the exams through the coordinated effort of staff over the faculties; to ensure that literacy and numeracy outcomes are reached and that students are familiarised with NAPLAN’s format. This allows our students to perform to the best of their ability; and our success is reflected in our strong NAPLAN results over the years.

Parents will receive notification later in the year when their child’s NAPLAN report will be sent home with them.

DEBATING

Hunters Hill High School is again participating in the Premier’s Debating Challenge, an annual debating competition where we initially compete against schools in our region. Hunters Hill High School has fielded four teams, one from each of the years 7, 8, 9 and 10. Earlier in the year, the teams participated in a whole day debating workshop with Mr Hugo, a former student of Hunters Hill High and regional debating adjudicator.

In the first round of the competition, our Year 7 team debated against out Year 8 team on the topic “Homework should be banned in Years 7 and 8”. It was a close debate, with Year 8 emerging as winners. Against Hornsby Girls High School our Year 10 team narrowly lost the debate on the topic “We should pay teachers a bonus based on student feedback”. Whilst the Year 9 team won the debate on the topic “Schools should teach mandatory self-defence classes”. On Tuesday 11th June, our Year 9 team travelled to Hornsby Girls High School for a rematch and again won the debate. The topic debated was “Contact sport should be banned for those under 18”.

A HELPFUL HAND FROM HUGO LI IN HSIE

Hugo Li, an ex-student from 2003-2008, has always been a familiar face in the school, particularly in the HSIE department. During his time at Hunters Hill he achieved high results in Legal Studies, Business Studies and Economics. Recently Hugo took time from his busy schedule, as a Law student at Notre Dame, to guest lecture at Hunters Hill in each of these subjects. His lecturing in Legal Studies was particularly insightful, Hugo used his extensive knowledge of Family Law to engage students, providing them with up to date information and assistance for their HSC exams.

RECONCILIATION

The theme of Reconciliation Week is about coming together.

Each year during Reconciliation Week (27th May 2013-3rd June) people from across Australia gather to hold events that celebrate Indigenous cultures and raise awareness about what still needs to happen to achieve reconciliation.

Hunters Hill High is committed to building better relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, respecting Indigenous cultures, traditions, and having a no-tolerance policy towards racism.

Treat each person as an equal and with respect

“Speaking of History”: Extra Curricula History

As part of Reconciliation Week, 27/05/2013 – 03/06/2013, James Heiler, Adam Skinner and I, raised indigenous issues in Australian History with participating junior students in the Speaking of History program.

We discussed the concept of reconciliation and its context within Australian History. The importance of reconciliation was evaluated from past, present, and future perspectives. Following our discussion, students were encouraged to create a picture board which explored one of the key concepts relating to reconciliation.

This follows on from the enriching interaction students had with visiting Vietnam Veterans in Term 1. Students are learning that History is very much a living thing and they are being encouraged to embrace the historical stories that surround them.

The junior students who have chosen to participate in this extra curricula activity are gaining further skills in analytical and critical thinking, as well as historical research and data gathering. This has been beneficial for all participants and has been particularly useful for those students from the Year 7 & 8 Navigate classes.

The sky is the limit for these passionate young historians and we are looking forward to challenging them with other exciting opportunities in the future.

Recently, 7A has been making hot air balloons made out of tissue paper and copper wire during science. We watched a YouTube tutorial video to learn how to make the balloons, and we then chose groups of three or four to complete the task with.

The first step was to glue two sheets of tissue paper together; we repeated this for all of the sheets. We then placed all the sheets on top of each other and made sure that they were all the same length. Any sheets that were too large were trimmed to the correct size. Next, we folded all of the sheets lengthwise. We had to draw and cut one straight angle and one curve. We then took all the sheets off each other and glued two of the new sheets together on the straight angle; this was done to all of the sheets. The next step was to glue all of the curved sides together. This was the challenging part, as rips were common. We now had three parts of the hot air balloon. In our groups, we glued all of the sheets together, on the angled side. Once we completed this, we put a circular bowl upside down on a stool, creating a

mushroom-like shape. We placed the already glued part of the hot air balloon over the stool and started gluing the curved sides together. Once this was completed, we repaired all of the rips and created a top piece for the balloon. The next process was putting copper wire around the inside of the base of the balloon, to make sure it stayed in a circular shape during its flight.

This year in the Year 8 Navigate class we have been learning about general sciences. In relation to one of the topics Kitchen Chemistry, we made a solution of red cabbage in which we dipped filter paper and dried it. We used this new indicator paper to investigate the pH of some chemical compounds. The best topic was ‘Fire’. We learnt the properties of fire by doing activities like using a magnifying glass to burn different coloured papers to see how long they took to reach their ignition temperatures (burn). We also compared a few different hot drink take away cups to see which one was the best insulator. We used a thermometer to find out the temperature every minute. As we are in the Navigate class, we expanded on the technical side of the experiments by looking at them from a different perspective, and trying to see another side of them. We participate in extension work and higher level thinking activities. In the Half-Yearly, we had an extra page of extension questions, which was related to everything we had done in class combined with general knowledge and the ability to think ahead. It has been fun and challenging being in the Navigate class.

With Year 12 Major Works due in seven weeks, all students are busy working hard on completing their projects. Both Industrial Technology Furniture and Design and Technology students are well underway with their Major Works. To assist - the Industrial Arts Faculty has opened the workshops at lunchtimes and after school until 5 pm to all Year 12 students completing their Major Works. We would love to see all students here on these occasions and ask for parental support in encouraging the use of this extension time. Major Works due dates Industrial Technology is due on Monday 12 August. Design & Technology is due on Monday 26 August. In our VET courses, Hospitality and Construction, our Year 11 students have just taken part in a week of work experience. Many of the Construction students worked on some amazing sites and gained in depth knowledge. The feedback from the employers was that this group of students were the best they had received from Hunters Hill High School. Well done students. Hospitality students have also had an amazing experience with some students being placed at restaurants like Wildfire, Pullman Quay Grand Suites and Aqua Dinning. The experience and knowledge that the Hospitality students have gained is five star. Please be aware that all students need to complete a minimum of 35 hours’ Work Placement. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate with their host employer to ensure these hours are met. Warren Pickles Teacher

ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD SCHEME

On the 31st May and the 1st June, 21 students ranging from Years 9-11 went on their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh hiking expedition. In order to complete the Duke of Ed award, each person is required to do three months of a physical, non-physical and volunteering activity. Then we need to complete a hike. For Bronze, the maximum distance is 8km, although in total we walked over 25kms.

It was eventful and a great experience for most. We started out at the Hornsby train station on Friday, and from there we hiked the Great North Walk, to Crosslands Reserve. It was about 16 kilometres to the reserve, and the hike was harder than expected.

About 2 kilometres into the hike, we stopped at the Berowra Fishponds, when Mr Gane silently pulled out scissors and began the task of cutting his pants off… into shorts. Although there were leaches, apparently it didn’t matter; comfort in the heat of the day took preference.

It was required that we carry everything that we need in our packs, so everybody had a buddy with whom they shared the weight. We had to carry food, sleeping bags and mats, tents, and clothing. Along with adequate water, at least 3 litres on each day.

It took about 6 hours in total to reach camp, although the ‘Alpha’ boys’ team finished in 5 and a half. We passed lush green valleys, filled with ferns (and leeches!). We walked over stepping stones to cross numerous creeks and rivers, passed colourful sandstone caves and unique rock formations, looked out across the Berowra Valley from the great heights of the cliff tops and marched along to the sounds of singing, laughter and chatter from our team mates.

Arriving at the Reserve after a long day of hiking we all set up our tents and made a fire. At this point, Miss Ingles’ partner and daughter arrived, cheering us all up.

We made dinner and talked by the fire that night, most people eager to begin the next day’s hike. Thankfully the weather had been good, although cloudy and humid, there was no rain.

The next day, we woke in agony and crawled out of our tents to have a meeting. It had been decided by Mr Gane and Ms Ingles that instead of doing the entire trek back, we would only do half of it, and we could also empty one chosen heavy item from our packs.

It took about 2 hours to ferry everyone back and forth from the very steep and windy Galston Gorge which was the halfway point, and a few hours to walk the 8 kilometres to Hornsby station. Seeing concrete, bricks and civilisation made some of us tear up. It was certainly an experience that won’t be forgotten, and most of us are excited to move onto silver this year.

Pamela and Tilly

SRC Report

The SRC has had a busy term. In week one, students were involved in a team leadership workshop run by Ms Brierty and Ms Ana in the library. The students learned valuable skills in team work, communication, organisation and leadership. From this day the SRC has an abundance of ideas to implement across the school community.

In week 2, the SRC ran the BBQ for the school cross country carnival. Year 11 students Sam Thomas and Issy Peters took on the role of organising the BBQ, with the valuable help of Mr Pickles. A huge thank you to all the students who helped out and to the staff and students who supported the SRC in buying a sausage sandwich. We raised $980, a fantastic effort.

Last week the SRC ran a cake stall at the school athletics carnival. This was a fun day with an abundance of cakes and sweets, raising $300. Once again, this could not have been possible without the continued support of the SRC students and their parents in making the cakes; thank you.
