This term we welcome four new families
to our school community, Joshua James,
Caitlyn Pilkington, Damien Bradley and
Troy Tan. These students have all settled
in well to their new school environment
and are now very much a part of Leeming
SHS ESC.
On Monday 13th August we enjoyed the assembly hosted by
Ms Priestley’s Year 10 class. I thoroughly enjoy the positive
atmosphere of our assemblies where students, parents and
staff acknowledge and celebrate the success of all students.
Thank you to the parents who attend and all the staff who
make our assemblies so enjoyable by showcasing the variety
of activities our students experience including camps,
carnivals, dancing and excursions. The assemblies are a
wonderful reflection of our positive school community.
I have been very impressed with the achievements of our
senior students and their exciting plans for the future
through the My Plan process. These students are at a very
busy stage of the year transitioning into work, further
education and disability organisation programs. Our
workplace learning team, VET Coordinator and teachers have
worked very hard to identify student strengths and interests
and offer a range of opportunities across a variety of industry
areas. A number of students have successfully transitioned
or are transitioning into work placements and our graduating
students are well on their way to exciting transition
pathways.
During the school holidays a large undercover area was built
between our Year 7 classrooms where students have their
recess and lunch. This has been a very well used area this
term with the persistent wet weather. It has been wonderful
to see students using this area, developing their social skills
through playing games and socialising with their peers. It has
been noted by staff that our students are being far more
active at recess and lunch by accessing sporting equipment
and creating their own construction games. Thank you to
Mrs Riley for designing and organising the undercover area,
it has been a very positive addition to the school.
We are very excited to announce that our new
administration building will be ready for hand over on
Tuesday 21st August. The administration building is located
opposite our original building in the Aulberry Parade car
park. It will take us a few weeks to move and get settled in,
our contact details will remain the same. The new building is
a fantastic modern facility which will allow us to expand on
the number of office and student services staff to better
cater for student needs. As well as our administration staff
there will also be a student services area for the student
services manager, chaplain, therapy room, vocational
education and work place learning office and first aid room.

We welcomed a new student into
ESC 4 this Term!
Meet Damien! He’s a big
Collingwood supporter and has an
avid imagination. If you see him
around the school, make sure you
say hi and give him a fist bump.
Our class is getting ready for the
Pop Up Shops in week 7. We have
been busy creating posters for our enterprise and are
very excited to sell our final product. Come down and
see our stall on Monday 27th August at 11.30am.
We will see you there!

As part of our HASS studies this term the students have
learned about Biomes. In week 3 and 4 we focussed on
the Wheatbelt which is in the Mediterranean Biome. It
is a fertile area and good for food production. Everyone
made a map of the area, discussed the main foods
produced, ground wheat with stones and made
damper. We have also started growing wheat in our
grass heads..

Leeming ESC has a new app that can be downloaded from
iTunes or Google Store.
NOTE: Please be aware that at present there are two apps
for Leeming ESC. Please make sure you select the
Skoolbag one NOT Theme Solutions. If you have previously
downloaded the Theme Solutions app we apologise for the
inconvenience but there are more functions available on
Skoolbag. Please download the app and take a moment to
see what is available. There is information about the
school (term dates, school development days, stationery
list), newsletters, uniform shop, canteen menu etc. Check
out the calendar, this will keep you up to date on activities
planned and if the venue is offsite a map will show you the
location.
The school will use the app to send messages to groups of
people e.g. from a particular class, afterschool
bushrangers, school council members or the whole school
community. To set up the group messages you would like
to receive on the bottom right of the home page select
‘More’, then ‘Setup Push Notifications’, then turn on the
notifications you wish to receive. Messages can also be
sent to the whole school. This does not need to be
selected.
eForms is another good function of the App. Change of
Details and Absentee Notifications can be submitted
directly to school via the app and in future permission notes
will also be available. We hope this app will be a
convenient way we can further enhance the communication
process between school and home. Links are below

The year 8 students have been continuing their hard
work. Below are some of the students thoughts about
the lessons they are enjoying so far this term. Dance
and Clubs have been a highlight for most students and
they have all been working hard on their spelling,
reading and writing.
Sian: I work so hard and I like to play with my friends. I
like going to Clubs and I like to work in class and learn
how to read.
Nabillah: I love dancing and doing work in class
because I love learning how to spell and read. I like
hanging out with the girls at lunch.
Adam: I really like going to clubs and dance. I have
been working really hard in class and feel really
responsible and grown up.
YuJia: I like going on the computer and listening to
music.
Charlotte: I like going to sport and music with Mrs
Cullen. I like playing with Jack and Adam on the oval at
lunch.
Poppy: I enjoy doing dance and just hanging out with
my friends at lunch. I am working really hard at my
writing and am very proud of myself.
Jack: I like Mrs Cullen and lunch. I like going to Music
Rocks and playing piano.

Term 3 has seen ESC 6 with our Business and
Enterprise hats on! We started making our product for
the Leeming ESC Pop Up Shops in week 7. The
students in ESC 6 are making hand shaped bowls made
out of clay. So far we have used our hands to mould
the clay, and used a range of objects to create
different shapes and textures in the hands. We dried
them in a bowl to create the shape we wanted, and
used PVA glue to create a glazed effect. Next week we
will be painting them and creating eye catching
posters to advertise our product.
In the school holidays it was NAIDOC Week, at the
beginning of the term we researched famous
Aboriginal people in celebration of the Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander culture, history and
achievements. We used our iPads and created an
informative poster each which is displayed in our
classroom. Some of the famous Aboriginal people we
learned about included Adam Goodes, Cathy Freeman,
Archie Roach and David Unaipon.

It is hard to believe that we are half way through term 3
already. The ESC 5 students are working on displaying
responsibility, independence and cooperative skills, at
school and during Community Based Learning.
We have been very busy caring for our plants and
learning how all living things are connected. The
students are drawing and measuring their plants each
week. We are hoping the sun shines and our plants
grow strong ready to sell at the ‘Pop Up Shop’ on the
27th of August.
As part of being a Bush Ranger, we plan to run a
recyclable/upcycled stall to promote the benefits of
sustaining resources to care for our environment. We
are asking families if they would like to donate any
unwanted items for our second hand stall. We hope
you are able to come along on the day and find a
wonderful bargain.

ESC 8 has begun their 5 week Workplace Induction
course at GSI. Each Wednesday the students travel to
GSI in Canning Vale and listen to a facilitator speak
about the expectations of an employee in the
workplace and important aspects of OHS in the work
environment. The students actively participate in open
discussions before completing the required documents
to record their learning. This is a valuable experience
for our students as they transition into senior school.
The Pop Up Shops are fast approaching and we have
been creating some colourful key rings and coasters to
sell, along with a number of jewellery items.
Thank you to all the parents who have made contact
with me regarding their child’s My Plan review. This is a
terrific opportunity to see the progress your child is
making towards their future.

As part of our Work Right lessons, we have been going
on various industry tours. As a class we brainstormed
some of the places we could visit to learn more about
different jobs, roles, responsibilities, safety equipment,
safety clothing (PPE) and OHS processes and
procedures in each industry. We started by looking into
our immediate school community. We approached the
school canteen ladies and asked if they would be happy
to provide us with a tour of our Leeming SHS school
canteen and explain to us the daily roles and
responsibilities and the importance of PPE and hygiene.
The students loved being part of this tour and were
amazed at the amount of preparation, estimating,
organisation, timetabling and budgeting that is required
to run an efficient canteen service to our school. The
students were so grateful they asked if they could write
a thank you letter to the canteen ladies. This was such a
valuable experience for the students and the staff. We
were also able to visit our school uniform shop and
learn about their procedures and job responsibilities
too. We are very appreciative to have such positive
staff and school community where we all support and
contribute to student learning.
On behalf of ESC 7 we would like to say thank you to
Leeming SHS and Leeming SHS ESC staff and community
for your support and generosity.

Students in ESC 11 have been learning all about the
biomes of the world and the food that we grow and
eat. Students have made grass heads to grow some
wheat, have learnt about how we turn wheat into flour
and bread and have made damper to eat.
Students will also be learning all about how we can
save water in our dry Mediterranean climate and will
be making posters to teach other students these water
saving tricks.

Mid term already and we are so pleased to report that
students are all working hard and are producing great
work in all areas of the curriculum. We have amazing
students who are currently increasing their work
experience days, this is such a positive step in preparing
for the future. Congratulations to William and Sarah
who are taking this exciting step forward. Good luck to
both students!
Last Friday was our first experience at Notre Dame
University with the fantastic students from the PE
faculty who prepared energetic Phys Ed lesson for our
students. This program will continue over 10 weeks and
benefits for our students are enormous. We used public
transport to Fremantle and return which provided a
fabulous opportunity to practise and refine skills we’ve
learnt over the years. Thank you to the Uni students
and their supervisor Sian for this very professional
session for our students.

It has been a very busy term with all students working
exceptionally hard to complete their Courses of Study,
Workplace Learning, SBT Traineeships and Community
Based Learning.
Mr David McMahon, Educational Officer from
Transperth visited to discuss safety, problem solving
and journey planning with a hands on tour of
Transperth’s rail and bus system.
Students have engaged in leisure activities including
mini golf at Murdoch Pines Golf and Recreation Park
and ten pin bowling at Super Bowl Melville to meet
ASDAN Money Progression outcomes. Lots and lots of
fun!
Since the beginning of Term 3, we have joined the
Seesaw app and I hope the pictures posted have been
enjoyed by all. Students in the coming weeks will be
very busy making some yummy goodies to sell at
Leeming Pop Up Shops on Monday, 27th August, 2018.
We are selling Teddy Bear Trains, Teddy Bear Cars and
Teacup Biscuits, Second Hand DVDs kindly donated by a
member in the community and running a sausage
sizzle.
All proceeds from our enterprise will go towards Graduation in Term 4. We hope to see lots of parents at the Leeming Pop Up Shops and many thanks to the parents and students for their participation in their My Plan this term. I urge all students at this point of their education to
attend every day, be on time and absorb as much
learning as possible in the last two terms. More
importantly, “
Absorb your schooling life, your friends and the
memories yet to be had.”

Our Year 10 students started their specialised Notre
Dame Program this term, where they are partnered up
with a “buddy” who develops an individualised sports
program for each student. Their “buddies” are 3rd year
physical education teachers in training and this is part
of their program for university. The Leeming students
were very excited to meet their buddies and show them
around the school the first week. This gave the Notre
Dame students a chance to get to know them and start
planning their individualised program. The rest of the
program will take place at Notre Dame gym in
Fremantle. As you can see the first week was a great
success.

Semester two is off to a fantastic start in the Workplace
Learning department!
We have welcomed Troy Tan to our program, as he
continues his placement at Activ Bentley. He has
adjusted to new faces very well and is doing an amazing
job working on the airline headsets.
Some of our year 12 and 13 students have increased
their work experience days at Activ, GSI Retail and Spine
and Limb Foundation. Well done to Angus, Liam, Isaac,
Sarah, William, Christy and Britteny.
Students have been fortunate enough to have new host
employers come on board this semester at Mint
Childcare Centre, Bounce, Cupid’s Delight, Nest
Garden’s and Jaylea’s Patisserie. We are very thankful
for these opportunities.
At our week 5 assembly we announced Angus Reed as
our wonderful “Employee Of The Month”. Angus
received this special award for his fantastic efforts with
persevering with some challenging tasks at the Spine
and Limb Foundation. He was commended for attending
4 days of work experience each week within two
workplaces. Awesome Angus!!
We are busy now preparing for the upcoming Year 10
work experience in term 4. We look forward to getting
to see these students in their workplaces. Exciting times
ahead!

We had two students from our Centre attend the
Governors Breakfast on Friday 10th August with
Leeming SHS School Chaplain Bettina Carter and
