Our Mission: Camperdown College will provide exemplary teaching and learning programs within excellent facilities which foster school pride,

aspiration and persistence to achieve high levels of learning for all students.

From the Principal’s Desk…

I am delighted to advise that

Camperdown College is one of eight

Victorian government schools to be

accepted into a pilot alumni project to

reconnect past students with the school.

A project officer will work with us one

day a week over the next two years,

commencing in July. The alumni ‘Our

School’ project will be overseen by the Victorian

Association of State Secondary Principals (VASSP) and

funded through a combination of school contributions, DET

seed funding and generous philanthropic grants. The project

is modelled on the success of a similar body of work in the

United Kingdom and informed by the experience of

independent schools in Australia which have long

benefitted from strong alumni associations.

Reunion groups that have revisited the school in recent

years are testimony to the enormous amount of pride and

talent that exists within our Camperdown College alumni.

The opportunity for current and future students to learn

from interested alumni, and for our graduates to contribute

to the enrichment of programs and the ongoing growth and

development of the school, is very exciting. Our school has

a rich history and the experiences that bind all those who

have passed through the classrooms and corridors of State

School number 114, Camperdown High School and

Camperdown College are well worth preserving.

Currently we are in the fortunate position of experiencing a

period of growth and renewed local confidence and there

has never been a better time to celebrate your

Camperdown College connections. Past pupils please

spread the word about this exciting project and consider

the ways in which you would like to reconnect with your

school!

Stories and experiences that link current students to the

past and build strength, connectedness and optimism for

the future extend well beyond the life of our school as we

know it. Camperdown College is built on the traditional

lands of the Liwura Gundidj people of the Djargurd

Wurrung nations and in this place among many, young

people have for thousands of years learned on and about

the land. We look forward to working with our students

and the wider community to build our knowledge and

appreciation of the accumulated wisdom and lived

experience of the aboriginal custodians.

The value of knowing each others’ stories in improving

connectedness and belonging also lies at the heart of a

collaborative local project ‘We know your name but not

your story.’ The Corangamite Shire Youth Council is

partnering with local health services to capture and share

the stories of everyday people within the community and a

wonderful opportunity exists for our students to get

involved. Keep an eye out for the posters promoting the

story capturer training here in Camperdown in July and the

local story-telling festival in August. Everyone has a story

worth telling!

Excellence ~ Respect ~ Responsibility ~ Caring ~ Honesty

Examinations and change of units:

The Year 11 students have all completed their end of semester examinations. The students are to be commended on

the way that they approached their exams. Students took them very seriously and made sure that they had studied

prior to the exams in order to give themselves the best possible chances of success. A number of outstanding results

were achieved.

Year 10 exams commence next week on Monday and run through until Wednesday afternoon.

Tomorrow is the last day of Unit 1/3 studies. Next week students change to Unit 2 (Year 11) and Unit 4 (Year 12). Students in Year

11 are able to swap subjects at this time and will need to complete the necessary paperwork if they are to do so.

Students studying Year 12 subjects sat the GAT (General Achievement Test) on Wednesday. This is a three hour test of general

knowledge and skills in:

Written communication

Mathematics, science and technology

Humanities, the arts and social sciences.

Each section represents a body of general knowledge and skills that students have built up through their school years. Although GAT

results do not count directly towards a student’s VCE results, it plays an important role in checking that school assessments and

examinations have been accurately assessed. All students studying a Year 12 subject attended an information session last week where

the wisdom of how to respond to various sections of the GAT was imparted and practise tasks were completed.

Reporting:

The next six weekly progress report will be opened to parents on Compass on Friday. Along with this information, parents have been

receiving mid-cyle and end of cycle feedback in a consistent fashion over the last few weeks which focusses on what your child can

and cannot do in each subject. End of semester reports (summation of progress reports only for Year 7-10 and Vic curriculum

standard achieved) will be posted home during the last week of term. Year 11/12 students will receive a report which is a summary of

the progress reports and precis of results as published in learning cycles for Years 11/12 along with a pass/fail for each subject.

Greater Western Region Cross Country:

Nineteen students competed in the Greater Western Region Cross Country at Deakin in Warrnambool last week. We are thrilled to

announce that Riley Helmore, Charlie Tickner and Jack Helmore have made it through to the state competition and that our Under 15

boys brought home medals and a pennant for coming second overall in the competition (see Miss Bloomfield’s article). Well done to

all these boys and to all students who represented the school at this level.

BRICKs:

Year 9 students participated in day two of their BRICKs program (Building Resilience in Corangamite Kids) at the Killara Centre on

Wednesday. The students are gaining a lot from the sessions with regards to personal wellbeing and looking after each other.

Transition:

The next stage of our transition program commenced yesterday with students spending a double session becoming used to the Science

class routine. Students conducted a number of experiments testing out a variety of hypotheses. We welcomed students from

neighbouring schools who are joining in our program. If you know of anyone who is interesting in attending these sessions please ask

them to make contact with the Senior Campus Office. The remaining program is as follows:

Term 2 Date Session Subject

Week 10 Wednesday 21st June 1/2 Product & Design: Mr Brooks/Mr Rock

Week 11 Thursday 29th June 1/2 Food Technology: Mrs Gleeson/Mrs Arnold

Term 3

Week 2 Monday 24th July 1/2 Art: Mrs Mann/Ms Taylor

Week 3 Wednesday 2nd August 1/2 Robotics: Ms Crowle/Mr Van

Free Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine for Year 10, 11 and 12:

In 2017 the Victorian Secondary School Vaccine Program will offer free meningococcal ACWY vaccine to students in Year 10, 11

and 12. The vaccine provides protection against four strains of meningococcal disease (ACWY) and is administered as a single dose.

The consent card has been sent home with your child. You need to read the information, complete and return the card regardless of

whether your child is being vaccinated at school.

Adolescents are at increased risk of meningococcal disease. Although uncommon, it can become life-threatening, very quickly. There

are different strains of meningococcal bacteria known by letters of the alphabet, including meningococcal A, B, C, W and Y. In recent

years, the meningococcal W strain has increased across Australia, with Victoria experiencing eleven cases to date in 2017 and 48

cases in 2016, compared to 17 cases in 2015, four in 2014 and one in 2013. It is now the predominant strain in Victoria. To learn more

about meningococcal disease, the meningococcal ACWY vaccine and how you can prepare your child for vaccination, visit

betterhealth.vic.gov.au or immunehero.health.vic.gov.au. These vaccinations have been scheduled for late August.

Indonesian Immersion Camp:

Seventeen very lucky Year 9/10 students spent three days at Camp Cooriemungle last week as part of an Indonesian immersion

program. Bu Jenna played an instrumental role in organising this camp where students from Bellarine Secondary College and

Warrnambool College came together to complete a number of workshops aimed at improving proficiency in their spoken Indonesian

skills and further developing their cultural awareness.

Vicki Angus, Senior Campus Assistant Principal

Sick Bay Refurbishment:

Our sick bay received a long overdue makeover last week thanks to Mr Attrill, Ryan and our Hands On Learning

students from the Senior Campus. Students worked eagerly throughout the day to remove the old cupboards and sink

and by the end of the school day, the new benchtop and cupboards were installed. It was wonderful to watch our

students enthusiastically work together as a coordinated team, preparing the space for the installation and erecting

cupboards from flat packs. Once completed this space will be a modern design where students can ‘calm’ when those

little emergencies occur.

Transition:

Our Prep Open Morning will be held on Thursday 22nd June from 9am – 10am. This is a wonderful opportunity for kindergarten

parents to view our prep rooms in action. Teaching staff will be on hand to answer questions and school tours will be available. If

you know of any families who are considering enrolling their child at Camperdown College in 2018, please invite them to join us.

We encourage families who were not able to attend our open morning to please phone the Junior Campus on 5593 1438 to make

an alternative time for an individual tour.

Our first Year 6 into 7 transition activity was held yesterday with the Year 6 students enjoying a

double session of Science. Science teachers Mrs Ticklay and Ms Black and Lab Technician Mrs

Morgan, demonstrated some whiz bang experiments and had students making pop rockets. Next

week, the students will participate in Product & Design classes with Mr Brooks and Mr Rock.

Somers Camp: We received 33 expressions of interest from our Year 5/6 students to attend Somers camp in Term 4. As the camp includes numerous

schools from around the district, a limited number of places is allocated per school. Our allocation for the camp was two females and

two males. Student names were placed in a box and drawn out in the presence of our students. Congratulations to Evie Clementson,

Amali Ingham, Charlie Kempton and Jacob Carter who were randomly selected.

Library News:

Mrs Purcell has organised for a Book Fair to be held early in Term 3. The theme this year is Reading Rainforest. Book Fairs give

children a motivation to read by offering them a wide selection of books to choose from before they decide to buy. It is also a

wonderful opportunity to help raise money for the school library and reading programs, as our school receives a percentage of all

books sold.

Mrs Purcell is always looking for offers of assistance from our families to help out with book covering. Claire Kempton and Kerrie

Teal have volunteered their time, however extra assistance would be appreciated. All materials are supplied and we are happy for the

covering to be completed at home. Please contact Amy if you could volunteer some of your time.

Welcome:

We are fortunate to have Airlee Cole, a third year Deakin University student who is working with our Prep T students under the

guidance of Jacinta Tolland. Airlee will complete a two week round, returning later in the year for another two week block. On behalf

of our school community, welcome Airlee!

Attitudes to School Survey:

Students in Year 4 – 6 completed the annual student survey offered by the Department of Education and Training this week. The

online survey assists schools to gain an understanding of students’ perceptions and experience of school. Results will be returned to

the school in Term 3 and will be used to plan programs and activities to improve your child's schooling experience.

Assessment and Reporting Day:

Teachers spent last Friday moderating and assessing student learning growth. Progress reports will be available tomorrow via the

Compass portal. End of semester teacher judgements will be sent home the last week of term.

VSSS:

Our VSSS team will again head to Colac tomorrow for their final rehearsal this term. Mrs Timilsina and her team have been practising

dance routines during lunchtime and by all reports are making strong progress.

Prep School Nurse Assessments:

Our School nurse, Kathryn Peters will visit our school next week to complete vision and hearing screenings. Consent forms were sent

home earlier this year. If you have not returned the form, please do so before Wednesday 21st June.

Year 5/6 students all had their game faces on

ready to compete against other district schools

for the annual Tri Sports held at Noorat and

Terang on Friday 2nd June. A footy team,

soccer team and two girls netball teams all

gave 100% and finished the day with huge

smiles, showing great sportsmanship and

teamwork.

One of our netball teams was quite successful

on the day but it was the students’ ability to

work hard and have fun even when not

winning which was the highlight for

Camperdown College. A huge congratulations

goes to all our Year 5/6 students as the

behaviour and effort shown throughout the

day made all the staff who attended proud to

be there representing our College.

Fiona Pugh, Instrumental Music Teacher

Gaming Music Day at ACMI

On Saturday 20th May, my brother Louie and I went to the Australian Centre for Moving Image Gaming Music Day in

Melbourne, at Federation Square. Presentations were given by four music composers, including Neal Acree, who has

worked on 30 feature films, as well as contributing music to Blizzard Software’s StarCraft II, World of Warcraft, Diablo

III and Overwatch.

The first presenter discussed how music in video games sometimes have cuts between different soundtracks in the game,

instead of a smooth transition. The way she implements music into video games is by making a base song, and adding or

taking away instruments depending on the situation, such as between exploring and fighting.

The second presenter talked about how the composer of a game and the maker of a game should collaborate closely

together to make the music fit well into the game. The third presenter talked about how sound works in 3D space, such as

things being close to the source of a sound, and how that makes it sound louder, or how if the source of the sound is

behind a wall, that it would be muffled.

The last presenter, Neal Acree, talked about how when music is put into a video game it has to match up, no matter what’s

happening in the game, but when making a trailer, the music has to match up perfectly with everything happening on

screen.

Timothy Fagan (who attended the Gaming Music Day in Melbourne with his brother Louie.)

Indonesian Immersion Camp Camperdown College Year 9/10 students combined with students from Warrnambool

College and Bellarine Secondary College last week participated in three days of

Indonesian immersion at Camp Coorimungle. Five Indonesian language assistants

attended the camp and students were privileged to interact with native speakers of

Indonesian.

Students were involved in numerous activities over the three days including language and

grammar workshops led by guest presenter Daniel Bradbury, gamelan (Indonesian

orchestra), dance and drama workshops led by guest presenters Baguskan, Indonesian

cooking, bargaining, traditional games, singing and a scavenger hunt. Highlights from the

students were the Daniel Bradbury and Baguskan workshops as well as getting to know

students from the other schools. Students should be congratulated for their excellent

behaviour and their willingness to collaborate with students from other schools. A big

thank you must go to our language assistant, Suci, for attending the camp and offering her

expertise in a range of activities. Also thank you to Mr Van for attending the camp.

Progress reports - will be uploaded on Friday.

I rubbed the old dirty bottle…

On a rainy day I found an old dusty

bottle in the cellar. I rubbed it and out

zoomed a Genie. He gave me three

wishes.

Then…… The Genie took off and I

didn’t get my three wishes. I looked

everywhere but I couldn’t find the

Genie anywhere. So I decided to look

in the bottle. The Genie was in the

bottle.

I finally got my three wishes. My first

wish was for a pet dog. It came true!

My next wish was for my birthday to

be today. It came true! My last wish

was for a pet star.

The Genie went back into the bottle

and I never saw the Genie again.

Charlie Burnett

Jacinta Tolland, Prep T Teacher I rubbed the old dirty bottle…

I was outside in the orchard and I found an old dusty bottle, so I brought it inside. I rubbed the bottle and I disappeared into the

bottle!

I yelled and yelled but still I couldn’t get out. I found some food in the old dirty and dusty bottle. There was fruit, a red ripe

apple and a piece of watermelon in a container. Then I called again and again but still no one came to get me out of the bottle!

I had to sleep in the bottle, it was uncomfortable.

The next day I yelled and yelled. Mum went to the bottle and opened the lid. I came out of the bottle. Mum put me in some

magic water and I turned back to my normal size. I said to Mum, ‘Thank you for getting me out of that bottle!’ I threw the old

dusty bottle away and I never saw it again.

Pippa Kempton

I rubbed the old dirty bottle…

What a boring weekend I said to

myself. I was kicking the dirt until I

saw the entrance to under the house.

So I went under!

I saw a mysterious bottle! I rubbed the

old dirty bottle and everything went

BIG!! I went up the ginormous stairs.

I raced inside before big Dad shut the

door. I sat on the carpet. Big Mum

was vacuuming and I got sucked up!!

Mum put me in the bin bag and took

the bag outside.

I ripped a hole in the bag and ran back

to get the bottle. I drank out of the

bottle and turned big again.

I went inside and Mum said, ‘Where

were you?’ I ducked my head and said

nothing.

Fletcher Tolland

I rubbed the old dirty bottle…

I was in the cave and I saw something.

I ran to it. ’It’s a bottle,’ I shouted. I

rubbed it and out came a crystal. It

was the colour red. I grabbed it and

ran to put it at the end of the cave.

It was night and I had to go back

home. When it was day I went back to

the cave. When I got there the crystal

was gone.

I saw robbers in front, getting on a

ship. I ran to catch them but they were

on the ship. I got on a speed boat and

caught up to them. I got hold of the

anchor and climbed up on the ship.

I got the crystal! I put it back in the

spot that was? I went back home and

had a hot chocolate.

An Information Evening will be held in late June to introduce a Camperdown-based support group for bereaved parents. The meetings, hosted by The Compassionate Friends Victoria, and supported by Westpac’s Community Grants Program, will commence in August, and will be ongoing. The monthly meetings provide a social lifeline for parents who have suffered the death of a child of any age and any cause. The gatherings will be facilitated by two local women, Jan Smith and Judi Oakes, both of whom have experienced the untimely deaths of both children and siblings.

Jan and Judi have responded to the need in the Camperdown and surrounding region to get a Compassionate Friends group going. They will be able to offer peer support in the community. This is a tremendous thing, as bereaved parents and siblings can often be very isolated in their grief. The monthly meetings will be held at Camperdown’s Uniting Church. It’s a relaxed setting where bereaved individuals can meet up and mix. They can talk about their loved one, or loved ones, who died and their ongoing experiences of grief. Often, though, the most comforting thing is being able to mix with people who have travelled a similar road. Knowing that you are not alone in your grief.

The Information Evening will be held on Monday 26th June at 7.30pm at the Camperdown Uniting Church Hall in Barkly Street. Supper will be provided. To attend, please RSVP The Compassionate Friends on (03) 9888 4944 or email

Story Pod in Corangamite A new VicHealth funded initiative We Know Your Name But Not Your Story is seeking to uncover the untold stories of Corangamite. The initiative is a collaboration between Corangamite Shire Council, local Health Services, Youth Council members and Melbourne based organisation Humankind Enterprises.

At the heart of this project is the age-old art of sharing stories and having a yarn, whilst connecting to people you may see every day but never speak to. Youth Council Mayor Ripley Watt said we often know just about everyone’s name walking down the street, but we have no idea what their story is.

A training for interested story collectors between the ages of 12 - 25 will be happening on Monday 3 July in Camperdown with buses running for attendees from most Corangamite towns.

Today, Thursday 15th June a display ‘StoryPod’ video booth was placed in front of the Camperdown Clocktower for people interested in the project to see and enquire about.

Council’s Project Officer-Corangamite Education Attainment Group, Honor Rahles-Rahbula, said that a recent survey conducted by local Health Services had found that only one in four young people felt they belonged and that they would often feel lonely at times.

Once the stories are collected they will be showcased at a local story-telling festival. This festival will be held in August and all community members are encouraged to come along and join in on the celebrations.

Keep an eye out for the eye-catching posters and if a young person asks you ‘What’s your story?’ you’ll know why. Young people can register for the Story Collecting training at www.storycollectors.eventbrite.com.au.
