Principals Report

Year 12 Captains 2019 - 2020

It was impressive to students who were nominated for

school captain positions, presenting their speeches to

the school. Each spoke with conviction, passion and a

desire to see our school improve. I congratulate all of

them for thir leadership capabilities on show during

their speeches, but also in the school.

I welcome these students as the elected leaders for

2019-2020:

Captains: Jake O’Rafferty and Jasmine Phillips

Vice-Captains: Eilee Philipse and Sunny Zhao

SRC: Lili-Mae Landrigan, Kiara Longmore and Hamish

Wishart.

These leaders have already begun their impact on the

school, with discussions and planning for the

refurbishment of the Year 12 room, improvements to

the student toilets and how they can support junior

students in their learning. The captains induction will

take place on Wednesday 25 September at the Year 12

Graduation Assembly.

Tell Them From Me

We will again participate in the Tell Them From Me

school survey, allowing students, parents and teachers

their input about Junee HS. Students will be allocated

time during class in the next 2 months to complete this

survey, as a follow up from the Term 1 and previous

year’s surveys.

More information about the survey is available at:

http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au.

To access the survey for our school go to:

School Ball

I understand the School Ball is a major event in the

Junee calendar, with many students already picking out

their outfits and practicing their dances. Decorations

have been planned and the P&C have agreed to again

manage supper.

Just a reminder that entry to the School Ball is still

conditional upon student’s behaviour, completion of

work, attendance and uniform. There is still the risk that

a student may not be allowed to attend the School Ball,

due to misbehaviour, not enough attendance at school,

not regularly being in school uniform or compulsory

elective subject fees not being paid. If you are

concerned that your child may be excluded or have

questions about the School Ball, please make an

appointment to speak to me.

2020 Curriculum, Classes and Empower

We have been surveying staff, students and parents

about 2020 curriculum, classes and Empower. Thank you

to everyone who was able to provide feedback. In 2020,

we will have:

Two Year 7 classes for the majority of subjects

and three mixed classes for Technology and Art

Two Year 8 classes for the majority of subjects

and three mixed classes for Technology and Art

Four Stage 5 classes, with one Empower class

students can apply for. 12 elective classes.

Year 11: 18 classes available, including

advanced English and Maths. Students and their

parents may discuss with me the possibility of

distance education courses

Special Interest Period will continue, with staff

and students canvassed for their ideas and how

to best use this time to help students with their

passions and interests.

Year 11 Life Ready Course

Year 11 recently participated in part of their Life Ready

course with a local educator, Kristy Wallace. Kristy has

used her capability as a teacher and life experiences to

present the “Inspired Youth” workshop.

Modules included:

1. Wheel of life- where are you spending time

and what are your priorities

2. Self management- know your saboteurs

3. Gratitude

4. What’s really going on in your head-

reframing to a positive mindset

5. Positive wellbeing- exercise, nutrition, sleep

and meditation

6. Crucial conversations- how to discuss

challenging issues

They further developed their skills through a variety

of games, reflective activities, physical movement

and role-plays. The feedback was positive and now

useful for further conversations about the workshop

with family members.

Feedback from the students:

Reroc Youth Leadership Conference

On Wednesday 28 August four students from Year 11,

Eilee, Sunny, Belle and Nicole, attended the REROC

Youth Leadership Forum at Charles Sturt University.

Multiple schools from across the region participated in

the day which was comprised of three sessions which

each featured a different speaker and workshop. Ethan

Buston a young scientist and inventor dazzled the

students with his brilliant ideas and prototypes in the

first session. Our students enjoyed working on the Spiro

and App workshop where they design a robot to fight

in the arena. Eilee was great at driving the little robot

and bought our team to victory on several attempts

knocking down opponents in the ring. The second

workshop saw students engage with Mindful Warrior

Anna Gannon for some self-awareness and meditation.

Speaker number three was Tayla Martin from Nyngan

who is a world renowned photographer and artist. She

inspired students with her notion that even though you

are from a little place, you can still do big things. The

last workshop was a Digital Media experience where

students got to work with a television professional to

learn about presenting yourself on camera and

projecting a positive image. The whole day was

engaging and informative. Our students gained some

valuable insights and skills.
