Melanie’s Thoughts

Curiosity and powerful learning This week our Curiosity and Powerful Learning School Improvement Team travelled to Griffith to undertake the next stage of professional learning as part of our journey. Already as part of this program we have participated in a range of different activities that have helped to refine our already strong teaching skills in our school. As part of this program at the end of last year all teachers participated in an Instructional Round as part of this they had the opportunity to observe each other’s practice and celebrate the great things that happen in classrooms across our school. In 2019 we began the next stage of our journey which was the implementation of learning triads. This process

involves staff participating in a rigorous program of professional learning focused on Harnessing Learning Intentions, Narrative and Pace. We then practised the writing of quality learning intentions and received feedback and coaching on our practice in the classroom. NAPLAN online Last week our students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participated in NAPLAN online. They undertook tests, in Writing, Reading, Conventions of Language and Numeracy. I’m extremely proud of the effort that students put into the test and how well they engaged with the online testing process. Seeking donations for fruit break If anyone has any surplus fruit that they are willing to donate to the school we would put it to great use for students use for their fruit break . Lost property There is a large number of lost property items at school at the moment including jumpers, lunchboxes, food containers etc if you’re missing something make sure you pop into school and have a look through our lost property area.

Thanks to our gardeners who planted some new herbs for our kitchen.

National Simultaneous Storytime On Wednesday all of us students participated in the National simultaneous reading program for 2019. Mr McCarron or ‘Macca’ read the book ‘Alpacas With Maracas’. This was a great opportunity for all students to share and develop an understanding of the importance of reading and developing literacy skills.

The whole school listened to Macca reading ‘Alpacas with maracas’.

Students decorated the Library with Macca the Alpaca Stymie Today as part of our ‘Dolly’s Dream’ fundraising and casual dress day we launched our Stymie program. Stymie is an online website where students are able to anonymously lodge incidents or concerns about either themselves or another student. We feel that this is an excellent resource for students to come forward and will help make our school the safest place it can possibly be.

Primary News Mrs Frost (Assistant Principal) As always it has been a hectic time at Tooleybuc Central School over the last two weeks. Last week saw our first attempt at completing NAPLAN online. Whilst we did experience some connectivity issues, which contributed to us having difficulty logging in, for the most part this was a smooth process. All of the students I spoke with felt that the technical difficulties did not impact on their ability to achieve in their best. From my own observations as a supervisor I felt the students were enthusiastic and engaged well with the new format. On Wednesday the 15th of May, all the primary staff had the opportunity to complete the second day of our VCOP training. VCOP is a writing program that we will be using across the school. It is designed to assist students to improve their writing by focusing on improving their use of Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers and Punctuations. As teachers we all enjoyed participating in a wide range of games that we can use with our students. Another vital part of the program is the 'Big Write' session. If they haven't already, most of the classes will be sending home a note about 'Hometalk' in the near future. 'Hometalk' is designed to assist students to develop ideas to write about in their 'Big Write.' A few days before a scheduled 'Big Write' a note outlining the genre (writing type) and topic will be sent home, you can help you child prepare by discussing possible ideas, vocabulary and phrases that the students may be able to include in their work. We were very lucky to have perfect weather for the Cross Country last Monday. It was great to see so many parents come along and support their children on the day. There were some great races, with the first four students from the 8/9yrs, 10yrs, 11yrs and 12/13yr age groups qualifying to compete in Moulamein on the 31st of May. Next week our Year 6 students will travel to Mildura to participate in the GRIP leadership program. Another example of the fantastic opportunities all the students at TCS have to participate in. To assist all the students to do their best at school it is important that they are well organised each day. As the year is progressing some students are running out of supplies such as glue sticks, pens and pencils. It would be appreciated if you could check with your child and send in some new supplies if this is the case.

Year Three/Four Miss Everall (Class Teacher) This term has already been a busy one. Well done to the Year 3 students for completing NAPLAN with smiles on their faces and a positive attitude. This term we have started to incorporate Big Writes into our writing and have continued with VCOP (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers and Punctuation). You may have heard of Kung Fu punctuation and helped with the Home Talk. Students are really enjoying this approach to writing and it is great to see them so engaged. Our first Big Write was completed in Week 2, which was very exciting and students produced some fantastic pieces.

Premier’s Sporting Challenge Our school has registered to participate in the 2019 NSW Premier’s Sport Challenge. The purpose of the Challenge is to encourage more students to participate in sport, games and physical activity and to have more students, more active, more often! Over a ten-week period beginning in Term 2 Week 5 (Monday 27 May), students from Foundation to Year 12 along with a number of staff will be monitoring their physical activity both at school and outside of school. Each student and staff member completing the Challenge will receive a personalised certificate from the Premier of New South Wales. If you would like to discuss any aspect of the Challenge, please contact Miss Duma. For further information on the Premier’s Sporting Challenge please visit www.schools.nsw.edu.au/psc Child Studies Kim Morton (Careers Teacher) Students have been studying health and safety in childhood and as part of their studies they designed a range of physical activities to do with Year 1/2. The students ran three different activities and then did a big group activity. The students loved the activities and feedback from the class was most positive. Activities were designed to be fun based in addition to developing motor skills, communication (listening and cooperating), teamwork and physical exercise.

The students stretched with Emma.

Careers Kim Morton (Careers Teacher) Last week I was fortunate to be able to attend an education and skills forum in Swan Hill. The forum included presentations from Suni TAFE, Murray Ace and the Swan Hill Rural City Council. Of particular interest was finding out about the extensive list of free TAFE courses for priority and pre apprenticeship courses, which are on offer from SuniTAFE in Swan Hill or Mildura. Prospective students only get one chance to do a free course so it is important to choose wisely and make sure it is a field you are interested in pursuing. The funding covers all tuition costs associated with the chosen course. Additional costs that are subject specific still are required to be paid by the student. A list of the available courses is attached and further information can be gained through suniTAFE.edu.au or arrange an appointment with Mrs. Morton. In addition, Suni TAFE are holding their open day on the 28th August with more details to follow at a later date. Murray Ace also spoke about the work readiness program and new courses they have on offer. They offer some great courses and are worth considering as an alternative to study if school or TAFE doesn’t suit you. All Year 11 and 12 students at this stage should be reviewing their career plans and updating their resumes with relevant work placement, volunteering experiences and part time casual work. Year 10 students should be finalizing their resumes and writing an application letter in readiness for the Mock Interview Day (27th June). Year 9 students are still gaining more knowledge about the world of work and the huge array of pathways into this.

Career Focus – Social Worker Social workers help people to deal with personal and social problems, either directly or by planning or carrying out programmes that benefit groups or communities. They are interested in challenging the structural barriers that contribute to inequality, discrimination, exploitation and oppression within communities.

Term 2 – Week 4 Friday 24th May 2019

Social workers can specialise in a range of different practice areas such as; children and family, youth, violence and sexual assault, medical and health, child protection, income support, disability, education, aged care, correctional services, family law, youth justice, community legal, psychiatric and general mental health, refugees and migrants and indigenous communities. They are employed in a variety of community and welfare fields across state, territory and federal government departments; hospitals, community health centres, local government authorities or non-government organisations. Some social workers are self-employed, working as counsellors, therapists and consultants. With the broad academic and practical training, qualified social workers may also work in non-social work areas such as project officers, policy makers, managers or administrators. Within the different areas that social workers can work, their responsibilities can include:

• Provide counselling and support through a crisis that may be due to death, illness, relationship breakdown or other reasons.

• Provide clients with information about services that can assist them.

• Provide letters of referral or reports that will help clients to obtain other services such as crisis accommodation or social security benefits.

• Guide small groups of people to share their experiences, support each other and learn social skills.

• Assist community groups to plan and carry out programs to help themselves (for example, assisting groups to form an association).

• Research community problems, needs and solutions through client contact and records of welfare and health agencies.

• Analyse statistics and write reports. • Develop policy and evaluate programs. • Manage and train staff. • Attend professional meetings. • Lobby to change social welfare policies and

procedures in the pursuit of social justice for all members of the community.

To work in this field, it is important to have: • Emotional maturity. • Keen analytical abilities. • Ability to view other people’s problems

objectively. • Good organisational and communication

skills. • An ability to work independently or as part of a

team. • A commitment to social justice.

To become qualified as a social worker, you usually have to complete a degree in social work at university. To gain entry into these courses you usually need to gain your VCE with English. However, you will need to contact your chosen institutions for course requirements and further information.

Career Profile – Social Worker Name: Rachael Can you tell us where you studied, how long your course duration was and where you undertook your work placement to become qualified as a Social Worker? In 2005 I graduated from Edith Cowan University in WA with a Bachelor of Education. Then in 2010 I completed my Master’s Degree in Social Work. After that I became a contracted case manager for DHHS under Wesley Family Services for young people in foster care and residential care. I was also responsible for recruitment and assessment of foster carers. Whilst you were studying at secondary school, did you know the Social Work is what you wanted to get into? In secondary school, I wanted to be a nurse but I have a learning challenge with numbers so Sciences and Math’s was very challenging. My second choice was childcare. In my gap year, I went to East Africa for 6 months and came back home wanting to teach under privileged and ESL (English as a second language) students. I soon realised during my Education Degree that teaching in Australia wasn’t for me but kept at it. After my Bachelor study, I worked in various diverse roles before finally getting into residential care and I loved it.

What do you love about your job? I’m in a different field again now that works for my family, but when I worked as a social worker I loved the diversity of my day. I loved the one on one time with the kids, building them up, being that person that believes they can make a life for themselves. I loved watching them succeed in school, work, relationships, I even loved being on call and being the one they thought to ring when everything seemed to be going wrong. I used to take all my kids camping on long weekends, DHHS own a holiday house that’s available for kids in care. We had a great time surfing and cooking. I’m still in contact with a lot of the kids that I worked with. So, relationships – they were what I loved about my job. What personal requirements would you say are necessary in your position? I would say self-awareness and knowing when to take a step back and take care of yourself is really important. I would also say unconditional positive regard for your clients is crucial. Social Workers need to be able to separate behavior from the person, understanding that humans are a product of their DNA, environment and nurture. Also having a good understanding of social role valorisation theory - that the client be the knower, social workers are just a safety net and guide when asked. It’s also essential to be professional, confidentiality is key as well as complete transparency in regards to client contact. Case notes are a legal requirement and can be subpoena’ d, so you can be called to court cases. What are the challenges of your job and the best ways to overcome those challenges? The challenges are in the bureaucracy, but with perseverance and a healthy relationship with the right people anything is possible. Also, emotionally it’s a challenge to be unattached. Social Work can be difficult in the long term if you’re a person who really cares, you can burn out so self-care is paramount.
