Principal’s Desk: Alistair Williams Welcome to term 2! As an educator this is an exciting term for students to consolidate and extend their learning during a solid 10 weeks at school.

The school holidays are a time for students to rest and rejuvenate, ready for a fresh start. Many students, however, were also involved in extra-curricular activities and school events during the break, including Generation in Jazz rehearsals, Year 12 Elevation sessions, Senior School drama production rehearsals and the annual Year 12 History Camp to Melbourne.

Teachers also were busy spending time in school, planning for the term ahead, finalising their programs and reviewing data from the previous term. Their level of commitment is what makes this school so successful and ensures that students are able to achieve at the highest level.

It should be an exciting term ahead, I look forward to my first Kernewek Lowender!

I was heartened to see many students represent the school at ANZAC Day Dawn Services at Kadina, Bute, Moonta, Wallaroo, and other nearby townships, and of course Melbourne. Kadina Memorial was recently described as a living ‘memorial’ to past and present armed services men and women who went to school at Kadina Memorial High and Kadina Primary Schools.

At the Kadina Dawn Service Royal Australian Air Force Flight Lieutenant James Francis, a former KMHS student, spoke about the significance of April 25 in world history and the importance of remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice in war and those who continue to serve and protect Australia. This newsletter features ANZAC Day related learning opportunities provided in class in the lead-up and after the event. Knowledge is power and an authentic understanding of the world around us leads to informed decision-makers of the future.

‘Lest we Forget’

TERM 2 EARLY CLOSURE

Next week, Tuesday 14 May

School dismissed 2:10pm

Buses depart 2:20pm

Principal’s reports continued:

Winter uniforms Our uniform is one of the symbols of who we are, and students wear it with pride. As we move from the warm summer months to the colder, and hopefully wetter weather we see a change in what our students choose to wear.

I encourage carers to ensure their child is dressed appropriately, ensuring they have a jumper; a reminder also that long sleeve shirts underneath our t-shirts should not be worn. We do understand that there are times where finances can be tight and therefore it can be hard to purchase these items, but if this is of a concern please contact the school and we will try to work together.

Already this term we have been steadily filling up our lost property boxes, so please ensure that all items of clothing are labelled, particularly jumpers and hats.

Student absentees As winter approaches and children become susceptible to colds we ask you to inform us on 8821 0100 or text on

0437 010 328 if your child is absent, with their name, care group and reason. Further, families are encouraged to keep children home should they suffer from flu-like systems to avoid its spread. We also ask you to talk to your child about good hygiene practices, such as washing hands and coughing or sneezing into the arm or away from people. Thank you for your support.

Front Office Phone Calls Families are reminded that last minute student messages to the Front Office may not be delivered in time. We ask you and your child to confirm your arrangements at the start of the day and ensure you both have a back-up plan to avoid additional phone calls to the office at the end of the school day.

Volunteer Induction If you would like to volunteer at Kadina Memorial School we encourage you to attend the next Volunteer Induction on Wednesday 22 May, 2pm. Please meet at the Front Office.

Governing Council Governing Council welcomes new members Katie Richardson and Sonia Schilling who will represent the parents on the Bus and Decision Making Committees respectively.

Lynne-Marie Power has been elected as Chairperson, with a Vice Chair to be confirmed shortly.

There are still a few Governing Council vacancies and we invite anyone who may be interested in joining this dynamic group to contact me to discuss further.

Parent and Friends (P&F) The Woolworths Earn and Learn is on again and families are encouraged to collect stickers and deposit in boxes in the Front Office or in the Kadina Woolworths store. We also thank P&F for the kind donation of soccer goals for R-6 students to use. Many thanks to Mr Wetherall for organising them. Students are impressed!

‘Thank you for the goals and for donating. Lots of students are having fun. It is helping with our learning and play time.’ – Brodie

‘They are awesome and useful in many ways, such as a target for fox tails and goals for soccer.’ – Jim

The next P&F meeting will be held in Week 6, Wednesday 5 June in the Library, 7:30pm.

Kadina Memorial School Tour Come and see the ‘old and new’ and enjoy a guided tour of the school during Kernewek Lowender, on Sunday 19 May, midday to 1:30pm. The tour will commence at 12:30pm from the Hospitality Centre (at the front of the school). Barista coffee and cups of tea will be available in the Hospitality Centre, with an opportunity to view student work and school magazine displays. We look forward to seeing you there.

Alistair Williams Principal

KMSC ANZAC Day Report ANZAC Day was a day of reflection as we paid our respects to the fallen service men, women and to those military personnel still serving today. ANZAC Day was traditionally a day to pay respect and honour the fallen Australian and New Zealand Army Core of WW1 and 2, and in recent years it has become a day to commemorate past and present military personnel, whose personal sacrifices enable us to enjoy today’s lifestyle and luxuries. It’s really important that our generation upholds this tradition of acknowledging the sacrifices and atrocities faced by these brave men and women, in the hope we may never see another war of this scale. I would like to thank all students and staff who attended the dawn services as representatives of our school. Thank you for the opportunity to attend. Layla Love, Middle School Publicity Officer KMSC

R-6 Corner Schools are responsible for ensuring all students are consistently taught ways to keep themselves and others safe. The Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum is an evidence based, best practice curriculum developed collaboratively with child protection specialists, teachers, educational leaders and other professionals. It covers a range of topics including current issues such as bullying and cyber safety. There are 2 main themes:

• We all have the right to be safe • We can help ourselves to be safe by talking to

people we trust With 4 focus areas: The right to be safe: which explores the concept of safety, warning signs, unsafe situations and acceptable risk taking. Relationships: understanding rights and responsibilities, trust and networks, developing personal identity, power in relationships. Recognising and reporting abuse: privacy and names of parts of the body, recognising abuse, neglect and unsafe secrets, internet, telephone and media safety Protective strategies: problem solving and keeping safe and personal networks. More information can be obtained from your child’s teacher or see the DfE child protection curriculum site https://www.decd.sa.gov.au/teaching/curriculum-and-teaching/keeping-safe-child-protection-curriculum Cheers Debbie Terrett Head of R-6 Deputy Principal

Students in Ms Doolette’s class created stunning artwork when learning about ANZAC Day. The drawings and shading reflected the words of The Ode.

Outdoor play morning discovery On the last Friday Term 1, our Junior primary classes held an outdoor play morning, and were joined by some students from the Unit. They enjoyed going on the ‘big kids’ playgrounds’ whilst they weren't there. Students also enjoyed bubbles, riding bikes, making with loose parts, water painting, ball and equipment, sandpit and dancing with Mr G. It was great fun in the sun!

Surprise Easter visit

Kadina Memorial had a special visitor on the last day of term – Easter Bunny! EB visited every class delivering chocolate eggs and wishing everyone a safe holiday. Thank you EB.

Student Mentors Student Mentors perform a very important role in our school, helping and supporting new students to become familiar and feel comfortable at KMS. On Thursday Week 10 Mentors participated in a one-and-a-half-hour training to learn about being a Mentor. Training included discussing the conversations Mentors can have with a new student and the important information a new student to the school would need to feel at ease and have a sense of belonging as quickly as possible. Information from the day was collated and has been designed by SSO Lisa Seal into a set of crayons that can be attached to a lanyard for easy access for the Mentors to use. Zelly Ritter R-6 Student Wellbeing Leader

Mentors received their certificates at the End of Term assembly recently.

Kernewek Lowender rehearsals Students and staff have been busy rehearsing the Furry dance and Maypole for next week’s Kernewek Lowender. Thank you to all families who have committed to this important community event.

Amazing Word Count In Term 1 we read over 16 000 000 words from Year 3-6. We were officially recognised as one of the highest in the state! Congratulations to the following students who read the most words. 3CP: Ruby Gardner, Mason Browning 3KJ: Ashlyn Hicks, Dylan Webb-Crosby 3.4AS: Mali Williams, Angus Bussenschutt 4AD: Angus Petherick, Alexis May 4.5LC: Jake Higgins, Ava Browning 5AH: Rushton Sims, Maya Young 5EH: Nellie Polkinghorne, Reigh Harris 5.6CC: Aydah Hall, Koby Bruce 6ME: Keely Page, Jayden Hank 6KW: Ella Bussenschutt, Daniel McGrath-Masopust

Library News An award winning picture book – The ANZAC Billy – was the theme of a thought provoking library lesson in the lead-up to ANZAC Day. The picture book, by author Clair Saxby, discussed how children gathered supplies and placed these inside a billy which was then sent to Australian troops overseas during World War One. Our students were asked what they would place inside a billy for the soldiers to use. Here is just a snippet of the hundreds of responses from their library lessons.

‘In my ANZAC billy I will put in vitamins because it will keep him healthy.’ Jayden, 6ME

‘In my ANZAC billy I will put in a blanket because it would keep him warm at night and something to hug when he is scared.’ Jhett, 6KW

‘In my ANZAC billy I will put in a letter, can of corn, soap and fresh water because a letter is kind, a can of corn is yum, soap for cleanliness and water for water.’ Tahlia, 5.6CC

‘In my ANZAC billy I will put in repellent, socks, baked beans, spaghetti and some flowers because it is something to eat, something to keep warm, so the bugs won’t bother him and something to remember.’ Hannah, 5EH

‘In my ANZAC billy I will put in a tin of spaghetti and a tin of tuna because it is in a tin and will last a while.’ Tyler,

Unit News This term our integrated theme is Dinosaurs. During the course of the term we will be looking at the names and sizes of dinosaurs as well as their environment and food, and how they became extinct. Maths lessons will focus on data and comparing objects. Literacy lessons will continue with Jolly Phonics and book based learning opportunities. A highlight of Tuesday afternoons for our students continues to be the Water Safety swimming lessons. The students are very excited on Tuesdays and can’t wait to get changed, always looking forward to these lessons and thoroughly enjoying the time they can spend in the pool. Most of the younger students are able to have 1:1 instruction time which gives them lots of opportunity to focus on improving their confidence and gain valuable water safety skills. It is great to see the improvement each week as students move away from the edge of the pool and venture further out into the middle as they gain trust in their instructor. We are very grateful for the four instructors, who are making themselves available each Tuesday to teach our students the skills necessary for them to be more confident in the water. Sandy Mumford Unit Coordinator

Mobile phones and digital devices review The Electronic Communications and Mobile guidelines are being reviewed this year as part of the school’s policy review process. The school community will be consulted with feedback considered by the Review committee comprising of Governing Council parent representatives and staff from across the sub schools. The presence of student mobile phones at school is on the agenda. Schools in Australia have different policies in place for the use of mobile phones and other digital devices, from banning them to using them as a learning tool. Below is a list of the pros and cons for banning mobile phones within the school environment for families to consider: Pros for banning:

• In the event of a health, personal or family circumstance, parents and children need to communicate through the Front Office, rather than through text messages, so that the school can ensure the wellbeing of the child.

• There is a growing concern that the increased use of mobile phones within school is limiting face-to-face social interaction among students, particularly during recess and lunchtime.

• Increase student participation and engagement within the classroom.

• Reduce social media use and online bullying. • Mobile phones are a growing distraction in class

for students.

Cons for banning: • In preparation for the workforce, Year 11 and

12 students can access their mobile phones to organise work placements.

• Children can use the device as a learning tool. • When participating in excursions, students

would have access to support in the event of a medical emergency.

• To ensure students can communicate with their parents/caregivers, outside of school hours when travelling on the bus or walking home.

Families are encouraged to talk about the use of mobile phones at school – the why, or why not. Later this term you will have an opportunity to submit your view. Keep an eye on future newsletters, Daymap, the website and facebook. Renee Thamm Digital Technology Coordinator

Middle School: Edible Cell Structures Year 8 Science classes have been learning about animal and plant cells, their structures and their functions. We have explored cell models, organelles and the function of certain parts of a cell. We have also been studying and completing practical reports involving the use of scientific microscopes which excelled our learning to the best it can be. Our main task was to create an edible cell model out of supermarket items. We had to make the model accurately so it was to scale and had the correct similarities of the plant or animal cell. This task was difficult but enjoyable because it made us more aware of a cell model and organelles. It was also an engaging and educational practical encouraging us to improve our scientific knowledge. By Sam Pearce and Dean Montgomery, 8DG

Senior School: Carpe Diem An insightful portrayal of mental health and friendship in rural Australia set the scene for an engaging play attended by Year 12 students on Friday 3 May. Student Toby Henderson reports. Year 12’s were invited to see CARPE DIEM at the Wallaroo Town Hall. The actors, David Meadows and Chris Pidd brought their own experiences to the characters giving depth and meaning whilst showing life of two mates who loved and supported each other through anxiety, depression, grief and loss. The message behind CARPE DIEM is that everyone isn’t alone, people are there to support you wherever you look. The Yr 12’s thoroughly enjoyed CARPE DIEM as it held a strong message ending on a great note of happiness. We thank Mr David Boots who organised funding for the event to ensure our students were given this opportunity.

Carpe Diem is a Latin phrase meaning ‘seize the day’. The saying is often used to encourage someone to live in the present moment and enjoy life as it happens rather than worry about the future

The previous day the actors took time out of rehearsals to talk to Middle and Senior School students about their acting careers.

Year 12 Melbourne History Trip During the holidays, early in the morning of 22 April, Miss Tucker’s Year 12 Modern History class congregated at Adelaide airport. All rugged up, we caught our flight to Melbourne. We were living the Melbourne experience from the word “Go”, heading straight to Federation Square and Flinders Street Station, then off to the MCG to see Geelong Cats versus Hawthorn. Tuesday morning, we headed off to the Queen Victoria Markets and then on to the Shrine of Remembrance to see where we would be commemorating ANZAC Day on Thursday. We then visited the Jewish Holocaust Centre where we were fortunate to meet Henry, who lived through the horrors of the anti-Semitic period. Next for this day was Luna Park, then on to the Old Melbourne Gaol for a very creepy ghost tour. On the 24th, we dug a bit deeper into the culture of Melbourne at the State Library where we learnt about Ned Kelly. We also went shopping for the majority of this day, then were lucky enough to get San Churros for dessert! On the 25th, students rose at 3:30am to travel to the Shrine of Remembrance. The sight was overwhelmingly beautiful – the lights of the Shrine illuminated in the distance, bringing almost 30,000 people together to remember those who protected our country and who gave Australia the chance to become what it is today. Students were incredibly proud and represented our school respectfully at this important event. Aside from being part of some of Australia’s biggest commemorative events, students gained valuable life skills, learning how to navigate the tramlines, and find their way from certain places in Melbourne and back to the hostel. They also learnt to manage free time and their own money. All students thoroughly enjoyed the experience, only wishing that there was a lot less walking! Thank you to Miss Tucker, Mr Ackland and Mrs Brand for organising this trip and choosing to spend the school holiday with us! Sydney Wigzell

Year 12 Jumpers They’ve arrived just in time for the cold weather – Year 12 jumpers! And the best part is that they are all individually named!

NAPLAN online training Students in Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 will participate in the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy, starting next week. This year will be different with the assessments, except Year 3 writing, conducted online. The tests include reading, writing, language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. Online testing has been 12-months in the planning to ensure NAPLAN runs smoothly, with all schools across Australia expected to conduct NAPLAN online by 2020. Our students have been at the forefront testing the school’s IT capacity by undertaking a trial last term. It also gave them an experience of what to expect. Now staff have received IT training with hundreds of our students set to participate in the national testing over a fortnight period.

Brain Cancer Awareness and Fundraiser Middle School KMSC will host an R-12 brain cancer awareness and fundraiser on Friday 24 May, with funds going towards The Kids’ Cancer Project and the NeuroSurgical Research Foundation. R-6 students have a choice of wearing their favourite beanie or pirate head wear. We are encouraging cost-effective apparel, such as a pirate hat made out of newspaper, an eye patch or a piece of cloth as a bandana. Year 7-12 students are encouraged to wear a beanie. Please note this is an awareness day for brain cancer research, NOT a casual day. Brain cancer facts:

• Currently there is no cure • Survival rates haven’t changed in 30 years • One Australian is diagnosed with brain cancer

every five hours Gold coin donations appreciated.

Thank you for your support. For more information of the charities our school is supporting please visit:

Sport Report: Athletics at Mile End

The Boys and Girls Athletics teams travelled to Santos, Tuesday Week 11 Term 1, to compete in the C1 School Sport Athletics Championships. An early start provided some tired faces, however determination replaced this once they stepped into the stadium. Highlights of the day were Jorja Rogers achieving standard in the 80m Hurdles and also winning the 200m for her age group, as well as Lachie Jones winning both the shot put and triple jump in the Open Boys category. We also had 12 students achieve a first place in an event, 15 second placed athletes and 13 students receiving a third place ribbon. An outstanding achievement by all participants! A special mention to all those students who filled in events or replaced other athletes at the last moment; without your help the team couldn’t have been as successful as we were! Overall result 2nd Boys division 2nd (only missing out on first by 4 points!) Girls division 5th The team was selected following results initially from the school sports day in March, followed by the annual Yorke Peninsula Interschool Sports Championship where Kadina Memorial School won the event. A huge thanks to Mr Luke Driver, Health and Physical Education Coordinator, for his organisation and help on the day (those relay changes would have been hard!), as well as Mr Patrick Keane, and team managers Miss Lana Kaesler and Mr Luke Wood.

SAPSASA Softball: Girls Championship In Week 11 of Term 1, 11 girls from Moonta, Port Broughton, Kadina Memorial and Saint Mary McKillop schools represented the Northern Yorke Peninsula in School Sport SA softball. We got to West Beach softball fields on Monday morning excited to play our first game against the Hills. Unfortunately, we lost 9-13 but tried our hardest at learning this new sport considering we only had about 5 weeks of training. Game 2 we understood it more and came out with a win 21 -12. Game 3 we played great and won 15-14. Ten minutes into game 4 we lost one of our players with a ball to the head. She split her cheek open and had to go to hospital. We lost 9-14. Game 5 we had only 10 players but we still did well, we drew 10 all. Game 6 we played awesomely and won 15-10. Game 7 we lost 11-14. In our final game we played our best although losing 15-17 in the last innings. Overall, we had a great carnival, really enjoyed it and loved the opportunity to play an unknown sport. Thank you to our coach Jared King for his encouraging words and helping us understand the game a little more! Maddy and Charlotte 6ME

SAPSASA Softball: Boys Championship In the 2019 SAPSASA Softball Carnival at West Beach in Week 11 of Term 1 Domenic Bagnato, Lucas Cock, Toby Nolan, Hudson Duka, Fletcher Davidson, Josh Bull, Chad Whale and Rex Monger represented Kadina Memorial in the team. We started at diamond seven with a loss by one run but it was a close and competitive game. Game 2 we lost by 11 to Port /Western. Chad was the top scorer with 2 runs. Game 3 we lost to Lower South East after the first innings we were 3 runs up but then we made some bad batting decisions and they made some good ones. Game 4 we lost 10 runs to Murray Mallee. Domenic was the top scorer that game with 2 runs. Game 5 we lost to Onkaparinga South by five runs. Hudson was our best scorer that game and he scored a high of 3 runs. Game 6 we had our first win by 3 runs against Lower Eyre Peninsula. Hunter was the best scorer with three runs, he also played well in outfield taking a few nice catches. Game 7 we lost by five runs to Gawler Playford. This was probably our best game. Game 8 we beat Murraylands by one run. It was an exciting game with us coming out on top but only just. Two thirds of the boys had never played softball before but had a go and did some pitching or catching for the first time. Thank you to our awesome coach Mr James Rigby-Meth.
