COLLEGE NEWSLETTER NEW SENIOR CAMPUS NOT FUNDED IN
RECENT STATE BUDGET
The establishment of a new senior campus
for Wonthaggi SC was to be the culmination
of work that has been ongoing for over ten
years. In particular, recent developments,
where we have worked with the Department
and our architects to produce detailed plans
for the project, had made us optimistic that it
would proceed.
We are extremely disappointed that the
building of our new senior campus was not
announced as part of the State Govern-
ment’s Budget on May 2. It is fair to say that
while we understand there is no such thing
as a guarantee with processes such as
these, we were particularly hopeful that our
long held ambition of creating a new campus
in McKenzie Street was going to be funded
this year.
Alas it is not to be – at least not for now.
Despite our disappointment, we will re-
group.
We will continue to work with our community
to advocate for a new senior school en-
hanced by other community and educational
facilities on the new site. We will work yet
again with Department and other Govern-
ment representatives to navigate the pro-
cesses to bring the project to fruition. We
cannot and should not give up!
Our College is very proud of the achieve-
ments of its students, but our current senior
school facilities have significant (and costly)
maintenance issues and do not represent a
state-of-the art environment needed to fur-
ther enhance quality teacher practice. The
young people of the Bass Coast area de-
serve a modern 21st Century facility that
sends a very clear message to them that
they are valued, and that public education in
Bass Coast is valued.
While we did not get the funding on this oc-
casion, we appreciate that we have had sup-
port and made significant progress in recent
years. We have innovative and exciting
plans designed by our appointed architect
and we will work with them to ensure that
when that funding opportunity does eventu-
ate, we are set to capitalise.
To our students, families and other support-
ers we ask that you continue to support our
pursuit of the new school, and actually main-
tain an expectation of achieving that goal.
It is too important to give up!
In the meantime, it will business as usual.
We will continue to provide high quality pro-
grams and support all our students to
achieve success.

Achieving success in a caring and creative environment.
The commencement of Term 2 has been a very busy and exciting time for students with lots of extra curricula activities hap-pening. VCE Legal Studies students have visited the Supreme Court to witness firsthand the intricacies and complications of our justice system. Digital Media, Tex-tiles Drama Media and Visual Communica-tion students have been to Top Designs and Top Class to view and be inspired by the A+ work of 2016 Arts students. Year 12 students have attended a tertiary infor-mation session with an opportunity to speak to representatives from tertiary insti-tutions about prospective courses.
Two hundred and fifty Year 10 students completed work experience from Mon 8
th –
Fri 12th May. I would like to thank Jack Tay-
lor and Michael Owen for their dedication and commitment in supporting such a sig-nificant number of students to find a mean-ingful work placement. For many students this experience helps define their future employment direction. In some cases it
may help students understand what kind of employment is not for them, which in many ways is just as significant.
Winter sport competitions are also in full swing with students travelling to regional areas to compete in football and netball competitions and many participating in our school’s cross country run. A real strength of our school is the breadth of educational experience but also the many wonderful extra activities that enhance the curriculum.

Page 3 COLLEGE NEWSLETTER
Eight year 10 students embarked on a Hike to Higher Education in March this year. It was the first time Wonthaggi Secondary College has sent students to this camp, held on Maria Island Tasmania. The overall aim of Hike to Higher Education is to encourage students to discover their passion and build their academic and career journey from that passion. This is achieved by providing secondary students with the opportunity to work closely with cur-rent university students in an environmental setting that is supportive and scenic.
Tyler Ditchfield, Lauren Sullivan, Gemma Williams, Keanu Anitonia, Christian Szutta, Tanisha Wookey, Louise Shearman and Finley Dempsey hiked more than forty kilometers over two days, including a scramble to the top of Bishop and Clerk. After meeting with students from Ararat College and undergraduate students from Federation University, they reflected on how the camp had had a positive impact on them; helping to shape their ideas of fur-ther study as an achievable goal for the future.
‘The camp was nothing like I expected, I had the most amazing time and would do it again over a hundred times. It was great getting to know everyone and form strong bonds. It has opened my eyes and made me realise I have so many opportunities.’
– Year 10 student
Hike to Higher Education
ANZAC Day 2017
Wreaths were laid by students of Wonthaggi Secondary College at local ANZAC ceremonies recently in Cowes, Wonthaggi and Inverloch and all three RSL's really encouraged student participation. The ceremonies were attended by our student leaders but also a significant number of students from our school, often with relatives involved in past wars including Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Students at the Cowes service read the names of ex service men and women who lost their lives in war while Stu-dents at the Wonthaggi service presented an address on the 'modern soldier'.
Tessa Sydenham, currently in Year 12 at WSC, presented the major address at the Inverloch service. She re-searched the life of Vivien Bullwinkle and presented an account of her horrific experiences as a prisoner of war who witnessed her fellow nurses being shot at gunpoint when they were captured by the Japanese. She presented Vivien's story in 1st person and many of the older generation spoke to her afterwards, thanking her and said they had been deeply moved by her presentation.
WSC Staff Member, Sharon Christopher, attended Cowes in honour of her great uncle James George Berry of Nyora who was killed in action on the Western Front in 1918, so it was significant for staff also.

The students who attended the School for Student Leadership (Snowy River Campus) in Term 1 this year have returned from their
incredible experience living and working in a community with 42 other students from around Victoria. These students have devel-
oped their leadership skills, their ability to work as part of an effective team, the ability to resolve conflict in groups, the importance
of goal setting and reflecting on their progress and achievements all while participating in both outdoor and other educational activi-
ties. Students went on a 3-day kayaking/walking expeditions, taught local primary school children and visited the local nursing
home in Orbost. Their challenge now is to settle back into student life in Wonthaggi and implement this learning into everyday life
both at school, home and their local community.
The next step this term is to continue to work on the community project where the students intend to run an activities day for grade
5 students at Bilson Street Primary School educating them about the local coastal environment and indigenous bush tucker. The
students will also be working on their assembly presentation where they will share their experience with all the staff and students at
Dudley.
An information session for the School for Student Leadership 2018 will be held in Term 3 for any current Year 8 students interested
in applying. Please have a chat to any of the students or Penny Gordon if you have any questions about the program.

Head Lice
Recently there has been an increase in the reporting and incidence of head lice at the Dudley Campus. Head lice are transmitted by having head to head contact with someone who has head lice. You may be reassured to know that head lice are commonly found in places other than at Wonthaggi Secondary College. Head lice are common in school-aged chil-dren. What can you do? I seek your cooperation in checking your child’s hair and in those instances where head lice or eggs are found, treating your child’s hair. Information on detecting and treating head lice is available at pharmacies, online or from the school. What if head lice are noticed at school? If it is noticed that a child at school has head lice, the Parent/Carer will be notified and asked to collect their child from school. Please note that we do NOT conduct regular head lice checks. When can my child return to school? Health regulations requires that where a child has head lice, that child should not return to school until the day after appropriate treatment has started. Please note, this refers only to those children who have live head lice and does not refer to head lice eggs.
Wonthaggi Secondary College is aware that head lice can be a sensitive issue and is committed to maintaining your confidentiality. If you have questions or concerns about head lice please phone the school. Emma Harris Student Welfare Coordinator
(L-R) Max Bruhn, Oliver Leys, Caleb Cummins, Holly Hughes, Orana Lynch and Tayla Kleeven are pictured here with their
team members from the Mallacoota P-12 College at the Snowy River Campus. These students participated in all their
classes and activities with the students from Mallacoota and formed some very close friendships and many fond memories
over the term.

Carers Scholarship
About the scholarship program
Over 71,600 young people in Victoria are believed to have significant care responsibilities. They may support their
mother, father, sister, brother or grandparent at home because of a disability or illness. Many are at risk of dropping
out of school, or have difficulty establishing social networks and participating in activities that their peers enjoy.
Carers Victoria's Young Carer scholarships give young carers attending secondary school the opportunity to be
acknowledged for their contributions to their family and the community and to participate in school or community
based activities that enhance their skills, educational achievement and abilities, or that help them to participate
more fully in their community.
Scholarships of up to $500 are awarded to successful applicants. See Jack Taylor for more information.
2017 Student Leader Investiture—McBride Campus
A strong and committed team of 17 were inducted as Student Leaders in the recent Student Leader Investiture.

On Friday 17th March 11 students from Years 11 and 12 competed in the State Schools Beach Volleyball Champion-ships at South Melbourne Beach. The boys had an interesting draw, playing 4 Scotch College teams throughout the day and managing two wins to gain third place overall. The girls won every game in their round robin competition and had to back it up in a tough final against Wesley College. They fought hard against the wind and fatigue to end up with second place and some shiny medals. Congratulations to all students who competed.
State Schools Beach Volleyball Championships
Over two weeks in Term 1, the Year 10 Girls Physical Edu-cation class participated in Lawn Bowls at the Wonthaggi Bowls Club.
The sessions allowed the students to be introduced to a new sport and promoted lifelong participation and friendly competition. The coaches helped to develop understand-ing of the rules and basic technique. The students showed vast improvement across the two weeks, and even found hidden talents! Thank you to the Wonthaggi Bowls Club for providing this opportunity to the students and promot-ing community involvement through sport.

YEAR 7’S “TRY A LITTLE KINDNESS” IN TERM TWO
As the title suggests KINDNESS is the value that we are going to bring to the full consciousness of our Year 7 cohort
throughout this term. At our first year level assembly after Easter the Year 7 Coordination team introduced what we
now call the “Kindness Project” to our Year 7 students and teachers.
So what is Kindness? At our school it means going out of your way to be nice to someone or show another student
you care. It is doing something nice for someone and not expecting anything in return.
At Wonthaggi Secondary College we know that students in Year 7 display Random Acts of Kindness (RaOK) every
day, but for Term Two we just wanted to highlight that one simple act of kindness can make a real difference to an-
other person’s life.
Therefore, we are running the RaOK raffle throughout the term where students who “catch” other students being kind
can fill out a raffle ticket and place it into the RaOK raffle box in the Year 7 Coordinators’ office. Every fortnight a tick-
et will be drawn and the student who performed the kind act and the nominating student will earn a prize. A major
draw will be held at the end of the term for all students nominated for their acts of kindness.
Some Year 7 students who have already been “caught” displaying RaOK include:
Dylan Rip who found a student’s books in a classroom and returned them to the Year Level Coordinator.
Brodie Gibson-Senior who shared a food reward with other students on his birthday.
Zavier Smith who cleaned all of the rubbish off the classroom floor without being asked.
Jack Roberts who leant his teacher a pencil when the teacher had forgotten his pencil case.
Rikki Armstrong who took the time to sit next to someone who looked a bit down, and;
Alaska Dixon for helping a friend to catch up on work that she missed whilst sick.
In addition to the RaOK raffle Year 7 students have been encouraged to apply their writing, poetry and artistic skills
to one of three competitions running throughout the term:
The first category is for Year 7 students to write a short story (true or fictional) about an act of kindness that has
made a difference to someone’s life. Category two challenges students to write a poem or a song about “the im-
portance of being kind in making our school/town/country world a better place”. In the third category, students with an
artistic flair have been asked to come up with an image to “show what kindness looks like”.
Final submissions for the competition are due at the end of week 8 and presentations will be made to the entries
deemed most representative of what kindness means. Already we have had a beautiful drawing submitted by Casey
Frazer of 7I which we hope will be one of many entries created by our talented Year 7 students.
By embracing kindness at Year 7 we hope that the benefits of being kind will extend throughout the whole school
community and performing Random Acts of Kindness will become a regular and normal part of our school day, every
day, for everyone.

The Kindness Project cont’d:
Over the past year, the teachers at the Wonthaggi Secondary College Dudley Campus have been working on
the use of morphology in all subject areas, to help our students ’ spelling, comprehension and vocabulary devel-
opment. The English teachers have been providing students with an understanding of what morphology is and
how it can be used to help them with their reading and spelling. Teachers of other subjects have been working
on using morphology with words that are specific to their subject area.
WHAT IS IT?
Morphology is where words are broken down into smaller “chunks” or “units” of meaning. These “chunks” are
called morphemes and they have their own meanings. Morphology, a word of Greek origin, combines
“morphe,” meaning form, and “ology,” meaning the study of. “Morphe” and “ology” are both morphemes that
have their own meanings. When you put their two meanings together it can help you figure out what the whole
word means.
WHY DO IT?
Direct instruction of morphology is an effective way to help with understanding the structure of words and ap-
plying this to unknown words, spelling, and vocabulary study. Awareness of morphology has been shown to be
a strong indicator of, and positive influence upon, reading comprehension (Soifer, 2005).
Students who understand how words are formed tend to have larger vocabularies and better reading compre-
hension than peers without such knowledge and skills (Prince, 2009). Nagy (2007) proposed that teaching
morphological awareness and decoding in school may be the way to narrow the achievement gap for children.
MORPHEME OF THE MONTH:
There will be a new morpheme in each newsletter that students and families can talk about at home to help
consolidate this instructional strategy.
This month’s morpheme is: “OLOGY” It means “the study of”.
At home, you could talk about words that end with this
morpheme and, how knowing this morpheme helps to un-
derstand the meaning of words that end with it.
HAPPY MORPHING!

YEAR 8 BOYS FOOTBALL REPORT
A wet, windy, wintry day greeted the boys when they arrived in Mirboo North for their South Gippsland Division
football games. During training the boys had shown skill and positive encouragement and were quietly confident of
doing well.
The conditions were tough and Wonny were too strong for their opponents all day. Ben Robinson won everything
in the ruck and the midfielders were well organised (thanks to midfield coaches Kye Benson and Dean McRae) to
enable them to win most centre bounce clearances. Brodie Mabilia, Jacob Strickland and Dylan Taylor were im-
passable at half back and Lochie Hill, Codie Jeffery, Mitch Hewitson and Max Walton showed good skill in the wet
conditions to give us drive all over the ground. Jenson Garnham and Josh Williams were excellent targets up for-
ward and Liam Dayson cleaned up everything at ground level all day.
The boys’ behaviour and positive attitude make them a real pleasure to coach and I feel certain that they will equip
themselves well when they face the step up in class at the Gippsland Finals next term.

The Coastal Ambassadors program encourages students to become ambassadors of the ocean and the environ-
ment in their local communities. Students increase their knowledge of environmental issues while developing their
leadership, communication and teamwork skills.
This year we have 7 students from Year nine representing our school as Coastal Ambassadors for 2017. Congrat-ulations to the following students who have been selected and will represent our school: Ruby Gemmill, Brodie Sylvester, Oliver Schmidt, Sam Randall, Casey Sim, Emmy Lawson and Hannah Maynard. These students will be attending the Coastal Ambassadors Camp at the Phillip Island Nature Park working with rangers and researchers. Topics covered in the program include marine biology with a focus on little penguins and Australian fur seals, oceanography, sustainability and participating in environmental work. Students also partici-pate in outdoor activities such as surfing and bike riding. Students will undertake an environmental project at their school or local community when they return from the camp. We look forward to hearing about their experiences and tthe environmental project.

Jon & Katja Taylor and their two daughters, Amber and Nina, hosted an exchange student from Denmark for 12 months, Frederik has recently returned home. Frederik was very sad to leave the school and the Island and is trying to settle back in at home.
Not quite the easiest as he has nearly 3 month off from school, and no, he is not going into year 12 over there. Due to regulation, he is back to Year 10 in Denmark. His mum sent a photo through the other day which shows him wear-ing his year 12 Wonthaggi jumper at home.
This is a photo of a Frederik’s Year 12 class. He said he had had an amazing time and was very sad to leave us. Frederik is sitting up the front and will be sorely missed.
Cross Country is designed for all kinds of weather which is what we got on Wednesday afternoon. Rain, hail and shine, this did not deter the atmosphere or participation by students along the 3km course. The first few competitors began to cross the line shortly after the 11 minute mark with Cooper Smith being first overall. A number of boys were hot on his tail and crossed not long after. Lanni Pryor was first female to run across in an impressive run. Garnham house finished the day with the highest number of points to claim the shield for another year. This gives them a clean sweep of all three carnivals. Well done to all students who participated in the event. Top 6 runners for each age group will be going through to Interschool level held at Mirboo North on Monday 29
