In the news We have had some great reports in the local papers this term about the wonderful achievements of our students. More details about these inside: • Malo – our own therapy dog • Gili Dancers - Aboriginal Dance Ensemble representative • Sydney Water competition Look for a new article featuring our own Mr Berriman who ran over 50 kilometres with students at the recent Cross Country. Great job! NAPLAN Congratulations to Years 7 & 9 and their teachers for a great effort in week 3. A big thanks to the staff for their hard work and extra effort with the sausage sizzle and breakfast on these days. An extra big thank you to Mrs Sheriff, Mrs French and Ms Hutchen for their behind the scenes work to make the week run so smoothly.
Year 10 & TAFE All Year 10 students are currently engaged in working on a project mostly at TAFE. This is a great opportunity for our young people to work in a different way learning new skills, the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Their final products I hope will be publicly exhibited so that we all get to see what they produce.
Project Based Learning Preparing students for tomorrow, engaging them today. You will hear more and more about this as teachers and students work together to develop this as an integral part of our teaching and learning programs. Many schoolsare using the teaching method of project based learning. They are making this choice for two reasons: • When school is more exciting, students learn better • When school teaches students more than basic information skills, they are better prepared for their future.

Following training at the end of last year, Ms Berthon and her new dog, Malo are now an Animal Assisted Therapy Team.
As a result of overwhelming research of the positive benefits to the entire school community, Shalvey Campus and Shalvey
PS have teamed up to introduce a Dog Therapy Program.
Research has found that animals are useful in the promotion of health and wellbeing. Pets can also be used as a tool for socialising, relaxation and
communication, and can also assist children who may be experiencing anxiety or stress
Five-year-old Malo, a black, border collie labrador cross, had her first day with us last week. Malo will spend Mondays assisting Ms Berthon in her
duties, sitting in on therapy sessions and supporting students.

In week two of this term, Year 7 and 10 students went on an excursion to the Blue Mountains for a field study.
This excursion allowed students to learn about the Blue Mountains World Heritage Site as well as being able to collect first hand data using a variety
of instruments in order to further their understanding.
Year 7 and 10 walked from Echo Point to Katoomba Falls and down Furber Steps. From Furber Steps we had fantastic scenic views of the national park
and at the bottom, we arrived at lush rainforest and cascading waterfalls.

Earlier this term five students from Shalvey Campus - Carley, Janaya, Steven, Craig and Jermaine participated in an Aboriginal Dance Workshop at Sydney Dance Company.
This workshop was a fantastic opportunity for our students to work with industry professionals to learn more about their culture through dance. In Aboriginal culture, dance
is used for ceremonies, celebrations, rituals, dreamtime and communication.
We are incredibly proud of all our students, in particular, Janaya, who was selected during the workshop to be part of the Aboriginal Dance Ensemble - Gili Dancers.
Janaya and the Gili Dancers will perform at the Ultimo Dance Festival next month. The students involved are a representation of the talent and skills from Years K-12 in
NSW public schools. For ticketing information for this performance, please contact us.

The NSW Premier's Secondary School Sport Challenge aims to engage young people in sport and physical activity and encourages them to
lead healthy, active lifestyles.
Our Year 7 and 8 students will be participating in a ten week sport and physical activity challenge and will work together to foster
increased participation and support each other to "have a go".
7W have already started building up their time participating in physical activity with a class game of volleyball.
PREMIER'S
SPORTING
CHALLENGE
Earlier this year, our Year 7/8 Enablers Class participated in the Sydney Water 'Brand Without A Bottle' competition as part of their English studies.
Students were challenged to write a script and create a storyboard that persuaded their peers to choose tap water over bottled water.
A group of Year 8 students - Emmanuel, Purnima, Sean, Atoc and Amuor
had their script chosen as one of the finalists. Their script and storyboard was then professionally filmed and produced.
Each finalist school receives a permanent water refill station, refillable water
bottles and cash prizes for water projects or resources
in the school.
We need your vote! The film that receives the
most votes will be announced the winner.
To vote for the film created by Shalvey Campus students, please visit the 'Brand Without A Bottle'
website or follow the link from our website and Facebook pages.
Our school cross country was held in week 2 and our Deputy Principal, Mr Berriman set himself a goal for the day - to run 50km!
Students completed the course in their year groups as Mr Berriman ran along beside them. As each year group completed the course, Mr Berriman continued
to run throughout recess and lunch as students cheered him on.
“Undoubtedly the best bit was the chance to run laps with students and staff. The number of kids who waited after their run to do a lap during the recess and
lunch breaks was gold” said Mr Berriman.
Mr Berriman's goal was to promote
The Run Beyond Project - a project which encourages students to learn about goal
setting, resilience and determination through long
distance running.
Students will begin training sessions next week with
Mr Berriman and will work towards their goal of
completing a 9km race in the Blue Mountains in September.
Our 2017 cross country was a
fantastic show of school pride.

DUBBO TRIP
A group of Clontarf boys attended the Rugby Sevens Carnival coordinated by the Dubbo Clontarf Academy last week. We camped in swags at the Dubbo Academy along with many other academies who
made the trip from across NSW to compete in the carnival.
All of our boys played extremely well. Kyle Whitton received the Clontarf Spirit Award for Shalvey Academy.
The boys were really well behaved, had a great time experiencing Dubbo and look forward to their next trip!

They have been developing their skills in investigating, designing and planning to present their final product of a High Tea for their mothers,
aunties and grandmothers.
The students demonstrated their ability to work collaboratively as a team and to adapt to change when needed. The result was an outstanding
High Tea enjoyed by all the guests who attended.

Education for your child is important and regular attendance at school is essential for your child to achieve their educational best and increase their
career and life options.
Following an absence from school you must ensure that within 7 days you provide your child’s school with a verbal or written explanation for
the absence. Arriving late to school and leaving school early is recorded as a partial absence and must also be explained by parents.
All students are expected to maintain an attendance rate
above 85%. Over one full school year, that
equates to just 8 days absent per term.
