Principal’s Report We are nearing the business end the first half of the 2016 school year, with all the events that this entails. Right now students should be focussed on assessment completion and exam preparatory revision, with a considerable number of assignment due-dates and exams occurring during the few weeks. For year 11 and 12 students the end of this Semester is a particularly crucial time due to the importance of these results towards our senior students’ QCE results, something we expect all our students to be working towards. For parents and carers the end of this semester is probably the most appropriate time to find out how your student is progressing and how you might be able to help them improve their results further. There is enough time left in the school year to make a real difference if committed to do so.

Over the past few weeks a number of our indigenous students have been involved in a range of the Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders in Marine Science (ATSIMS) 2016 program activities. These included a Reef HQ day, AIMS day and what was most certainly the highlight of the program, a stay on Orpheus Island. An amazing experience. Special thanks to Ollie Henaway our CEC, Amanda Coldstream and Justin Wade for the supporting the students during these activities and to the students who participated. Well done.

Personally I had the joy of accompanying the year 7 students on the Charters Towers camp activities. The camp was a great couple of busy days with a wide variety of activities. With lassoing, gold panning, high ropes activities and a ‘walk in’ to the drive-in movie theatre there was very little down time, for the students or for the staff who attended. Whilst the noise and energy levels of this group of students meant that there was little peace, or sleep to be had for the adults who certainly needed the weekend to recover. Particular thanks to Adele Armstrong for the amazing effort of organising this valuable event in the year 7 calendar and to the staff that gave up their comfortable beds and beauty sleep to come along.

At the same time we still face the temporary disruption to our B Block classrooms, as these undergo an extensive make-over/refurbishment. This is moving slower than was anticipated. Consequently, we are facing significant pressures on our classroom space, and with no appropriate other ‘break-out’ areas has once again reinforced the need for a proper covered area/hall for our school.

Despite recent meetings with, and encouraging comments of support from our local members of parliament, we are in reality no further to what is undoubtedly our most significant facilities priority. I do gave to express my gratitude to the commitment of our P&C President, Richard Wall for his relentless efforts in agitating for this and we would both dearly love to share some positive news in this area before too long.

I want to finish in reiterating that student attendance, “every student, in every classroom, every day”, is crucial for students learning success. Every day missed will have considerable impact on learning outcomes and on those report card results.

Next P&C Meeting - AGM

The June meeting of the P&C will be held the AGM and held on Tuesday, 14

June at 7.45 pm in the Staff Common Room.

All are welcome to attend.

One of Australia’s Great School Libraries The Home Hill State High School Library was recently honoured in Australia’s Great School Library campaign run by FAIR (Freedom of Access to Information and Resources), along with Library Associations of Australia and Education HQ.

Home Hill High was recognised as being one of only 213 school Libraries Australia-wide, and one of only 43 schools in Queensland who received the ‘Great School Library’ award. The nominations described the Home Hill Library as a wonderful asset and greatly valued by students, parents, teachers and the wider community.

The HHSHS Library provides a welcoming, supportive environment for quiet study, class work and game play. Relevant, themed displays, competitions and activities inspire reading, writing, learning, and research and also give a sense of belonging and inclusion for all. Library users are encouraged to use the school’s online catalogue (http://homehillshs.cmeweb.libcode.com.au/#_8) to search for information and resources located in the Library and also within the latest digital data bases. Detailed scrapbooks, compiled since the inception of the school 52 years ago, have proven to be very popular with former and present students alike.

The proud Home Hill High Library staff are honoured to have received the award and wish to thank most sincerely those kind people who nominated the Library for the award and the staff, students, parents and community who use it, enjoy it and support it. Special thanks to our student Library monitors, helpers and avid readers!

On Wednesday 11 May, the year 12 chemistry class went on an excursion to Reef HQ. At Reef HQ they saw the chemistry behind how the aquarium is maintained and what tests are involved in keeping the fish healthy. While on the excursion, the class saw titrations which tested the levels of salinity, alkalinity and calcium in the aquarium, which in turn showed how much calcium chloride, salt and sodium bicarbonate that had to be added to ensure a balance in the aquarium ecosystem. A special thanks to Mr Kingma and Dr Young for driving the class to Reef HQ, as well as organising this much appreciated trip.

‘Breaking the Mould’, ‘Moving the Goalposts’ and ‘The Eleventh Hour’ were just a few of the topics tackled by five junior and two senior students at our recent ‘Rostrum Voice of Youth’. The students spoke passionately about their chosen topics which could be adapted to various scenarios. The audience were persuaded to question the relevance of reality TV, advocate for the rights of women and raise environmental concerns with regards to global warming. The seven speakers should all be congratulated on participating in this public speaking competition, and no doubt they have improved their speaking skills as a result. Aaliyah Calder and Tayla McKaig (junior) and Mikaylah Wall and Patrick Ryan (senior) were selected by the Rostrum Adjudicators to represent Home Hill High at the regional competition on Tuesday 24

May.

It was one of the first cold mornings that we had felt in the Burdekin, as we arrived at school early on Thursday morning ready for camp. Everyone was excited, ready for our two-day adventure to Charters Towers.

We said our goodbyes to our families and headed off down the road to our first destination. On the way we all had great laughs and many memorable stories to tell each other.

It wasn’t long before we arrived at our first stop, the Texas Long Horn Wagon Tour, enjoying morning tea of delicious damper and home-cooked biscuits. We got to experience how to lasso and had fun showing off our great techniques. We then climbed into the horse-drawn carriage and went for a ride around the station, seeing many different breeds of cattle. We met a very special Longhorn, whose name was JR. He once held a title in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest horns of any Texas Longhorn cow. We were also shown how saddles are made and how to artificially inseminate a cow!

After that enjoyable experience, we were back on the road again travelling to our overnight camp destination at the Charters Towers School of Distance Education ‘Sheds’. After enjoying a lovely Subway dinner we visited Tors Drive-in Movie Theatre where we watched ‘Angry Birds’.

We woke up on Friday morning to the sound of the roller doors being opened and knew that it

was going to be another jam-packed day. First up, we enjoyed panning for gold at the ‘Miners Cottage’. Who would have thought that everyone would come out on top and really strike gold! At the Venus Gold Battery, we watched a visual presentation and were given an insight into how gold was processed in the early years of the Charter Towers Gold Rush.

The final activity for our camp was the much anticipated ‘High Ropes’ at Millchester State School. Many of us faced our fear of heights and at the end of the day everyone had tried their best and achieved something they never imagined they would.

Before we knew it we were on the road, heading back home again to the Bountiful Burdekin. We all have great memories to look back on and hope to visit Charters Towers again sometime soon.

2016 ATSIMS Orpheus Island was just one of 4 trips 10 students ranging from year 8-10 went on as part of a marine science program to help increase interest in this career among indigenous students. This trip consisted of the 10 students travelling to Orpheus Island which is situated roughly 45 minutes off the coast of Lucinda. Along with fantastic views, the students were treated to crystal clear waters perfect for snorkelling of the reef along the coastline. It didn’t take long for these students to find their flippers and before long they were diving deep searching for fish, coral and some of the largest clams they have ever seen. The highlight of the trip had to be the mini films these students along with 2 documentary film makers from America put together. Focusing on the coral, animal life or the trip itself, these students put together quick films with strong messages. Talks from marine biologist, traditional land owners and some night time walks helped to open the eyes of the students about what it is to care for the reef from both a scientific and indigenous perspective. Should you want to see these films or more photos, just visit the ATSIMS Facebook page.

Every year, there’s a dedicated group of students that take to the streets in a bid to raise money for the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal, and this year was no exception. On Sunday 29 May, 19 students, 2 parents and 2 teachers devoted their time to The Red Shield Appeal. The day was a successful one with the groups collectively raising $621.55. The most successful group was a group of juniors, Jenna Attard, Libby D’Alessandro Logan Rea and Thomas Shepherd, who raised $218.45 just on their own.

The day would not have been as successful without the help from Mr Attard, Mrs Loizou and Mrs Todeschino who were our gracious student drivers, and to Mr Gall with his organising skill, many thanks. We must also thank Major Julie Metcher from the Salvation Army for her guidance and providing refreshments, which were very much appreciated. Mrs Grimbaldeston generously gave up her morning to ensure the money collection was counted correctly and safely stored at the bank. It was a fantastic effort from everyone. - Mikaylah Wall

THE QCS TEST

What is it? QCS stands for the Queensland Core Skills: The QCS test is a common state-wide test for year 12 students. It is an achievement test, not an intelligence test nor an aptitude test. It is grounded in the Queensland senior curriculum. It is accessible to all year 12 students, regardless of individual differences in subject patterns.

What does it test? It tests the 49 common curriculum elements (CCE’s) of the Queensland senior curriculum.

What is the purpose of the test? It provides individual results reported on a five point scale (A-E) It provides group results for comparing the achievement of students in different subject groups and

different schools in order to calculate Overall Positions (OP score) It provides group results for calculating Field Positions (FP scores) – up to 5 per student, depending

on subject choice.

Who sits the test? All year 12 students may sit the test. If eligible for an OP score, students must sit the test. If are not eligible for an OP score, students may sit the test but their result will not contribute to the

calculation of Ops for eligible students. The test result will be recorded on the student’s Senior Statement.

When is it held? Tuesday August 30th & Wednesday August 31st 2016

What is in the test? There are 4 papers: Writing Task, Short Response, and two Multiple Choice papers.

What preparation is useful? Work being done every day in every subject helps prepare students for the QCS Test because the

common curriculum elements are generic skills. At Home Hill SHS Year 12 students will participate in a special program designed to assist them to

be as prepared for QCS as possible. This program began on June 2nd for Year 12 students and continues weekly until the QCS test in

late August. The in-school preparation will include practice tests using past QCS test papers which will be marked

by teachers at the school using answers supplied by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority.

YEAR 7 CAMP

On 19 and 20 May, I had the pleasure of going on the year 7 camp to Charters Towers. This was a great opportunity for me to be able to get to know our year 7 students outside of the school environment.

The camp focused on team building skills and I was asked to run two sessions on how to be a good team member. These sessions mainly focused on good communication and listening skills as well as the importance of encouraging each other. On day two, we were able to put some of these skills into practice by completing the high ropes course together. This definitely involved having good listening and communication skills as well as encouraging each other to have a go and try.

As well as the high ropes course, students were also able to attend the Texas Long-Horn Ranch, the Drive-in movies, the Miner’s Cottage, and Venus Gold Battery Tour. It was certainly a crammed packed two days but a great opportunity for students to learn outside of school. The photos show just a little of our fun experiences together.

RAGE PROGRAM

This term I have again run the RAGE program with a group of male students. RAGE is an anger management program which helps students to identify when their anger levels are rising and self-manage it before it escalates out of control. The group of students I have had this term have been very enthusiastic and open to discussing their anger issues. Completing the RAGE course will hopefully give these students some skills that they can practice and enhance for many years to come.

UPCCOMING EVENTS

Bootcamp

Myself and Chappy Scott McLean will be running an emotional, physical and spiritual bootcamp for young people in the June/July school holidays at the Home Hill Showgrounds. Cost is only $10 and includes lunch, morning tea, and drinks. Feel free to contact me at school if your son/daughter is interested in attending.

The Burdekin Food Festival fundraising stall for school chaplaincy is approaching soon. Volunteers are needed to help make and sell our famous Chappy Potato Twisters. Please contact me if you are interested in helping in any way.

GET INVOLVED!

Burdekin School Chaplains need your help!!! We need community members who are willing to join our local chaplaincy committee. Our chaplaincy committee helps to support the four school chaplains we have in 7 Burdekin schools. Our committee currently needs to raise $70,000 a year to maintain the current amount of service school chaplains give to our schools. Anything above this amount, means that we can provide more on-going support to our Burdekin young people and their families and teachers. This is a hard task and we need as many people as we can get to help us with fundraising adventures or ideas. If you are interested in joining our committee or you just want to know more about helping us with fundraising, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank You!

Chappy Jennie.

On 26 May, our Home Hill State High School year 11 & 12 Legal Studies class embarked on an informative journey to the Townsville Law Courts. There we were able to see, in real life, what we have learnt about in class with regard to the way the court hierarchy and proceedings work. It was a little daunting at first to witness official proceedings, involving real offenders, Magistrates and Lawyers but we were guided however by our knowledgeable Legal Studies teachers Miss Emma Swindley and Mrs Wendy Viero and so soon felt at ease. We are extremely grateful to the Court Network Volunteer Geoff, who not only explained court etiquette and the legal processes involved in the Murri Court, Magistrates, District and Supreme court but also highlighted the importance of social justice, client welfare in the legal system and the variety of career opportunities within in the Department of Justice. This was a worthwhile excursion and it really helped to see our theoretical knowledge put into practice. I think the trip might have inspired a few budding lawyers to take their study further too!

Year 9 yLead Altitude Day

On Friday 27 May, eight year nine students and Mr East spent their day at Tony Ireland stadium for the year 9 yLead Altitude day. The students spent their day completing group activities and listening to inspirational speeches to help improve their leadership skills as the junior leaders of their school. Overall the day was a success and the students got to expand their leadership skills to hopefully apply them to the school.

On Wednesday 1 June, the Student Council held a Free dress day to celebrate the first State of Origin game for 2016. There were very few Blues supporters to be seen in a sea of Maroon. Mr Styles created his fabulous lawn art and the Resource Centre is sporting a patriotic “Queenslander!!!” display thanks to students and Library staff. The best team also won on the night! ;)

The next Free Dress Day will be held on Friday 24 June for Pink Stumps Day. Cost is a gold coin donation and clothing must be sunsafe.

22 students, 6 parents & 6 staff assisted Race Club members in the huge task to clean up the morning after over 2000 people enjoyed the Burdekin Growers Race Day. Armed with gloves, rakes, garbage bags and boxes the community- minded participants the task admirably with the mess transformed in less than a couple of hours. It was great to see that the clean-up involved separating cans for recycling. Special thanks to all involved and particularly the Burdekin Race Club for the delicious home-made morning tea enjoyed by the hard-workers and the kind donation to the school in return for the clean-up duties.

Interschool Sports for Term 3 Weeks 2 to 7 - 13/15/Open Touch – Girls & Boys

Week 3 to 5 - Rugby Union 7s

Students listen out for notices for details on meeting times, permission forms etc.

Interschool sport provides students with the opportunity to participate in a structured sport competition, played between local schools. It enhances the physical activity component of the school's health and wellbeing curriculum program and allows students to enjoy playing with a team, improve socialisation and playing skills and sporting etiquette. It is indeed an honour to represent Home Hill High in Interschool sport.

This year’s P&C Fete was a fantastic success. There were plenty of popular stalls and activities: pick of the shelf, bottle stall, treasure tray, cake stall, show bags and the cent sale, along with the return of the Ice Cream Spider stall and the new book stall. Mrs Kerr and other staff, along with our Hospitality students were kept busy cooking up a storm to provide culinary masterpieces at the café, while others enjoyed hot chips, burgers and cold drinks.

For those who were young or young at heart, the Jumping Castle, Giant Slide and Fairy Floss were an attraction. Mobile Laser Skirmish, the Bungee Run and the welcome addition of the PCYC Gaming MERV also proved very popular with players of all ages.

Retail outlets throughout the Burdekin very generously donated fabulous prizes for our Major Holiday raffle, Spot Raffles, Cent Sale and Pick of the Shelf. The support of the local community is very much appreciated.
