End of Year for Year 12
The end of school life for Year 12 students is approaching very quickly. The first four
weeks of this term are classes as normal with many assignments and exams for the
applied subjects occurring in week 4. External exams for the general subjects take
place in week 5 and only students completing external exams attend.
However, the library will be open to Year 12s who are still finishing certificate
courses. They can sign in at the office and work independently in the library across
weeks 5 and 6 to complete their courses.
The Valedictory Dinner is being held at the Pit Pony Tavern on Thursday 11th
November with the Graduation Ceremony on the morning of Friday 19th November.
Year 10
This year we have adjusted the Year 10 curriculum so they can complete their
studies and assessment in Week 4 of Term 4. For the remainder of the term,
students will move across and begin working on their Year 11 subjects. This gives
students a four-week head start into Year 11 Unit 1 topics. During SET Planning the
Year 10 students selected their senior subjects. From week 5, they move into their
senior subjects and join with the Year 11 students who begin their Year 12 units.
Parent and Community Code of Conduct
The Department has recently launched a public awareness campaign that addresses
occupational violence and aggression in state schools. While the majority of
interactions with parents and members of the community are respectful and
courteous, the department has a simple message: Your child, our student. One
Team. By school and home respectfully working together, we can achieve the best
outcomes for each child.
To support schools to be safe and respectful places, a Parent and Community Code
of Conduct has been developed to sit alongside the Student Code of Conduct and
the Code of Conduct for Queensland Public Service.
The Parent and Community Code of Conduct aims to
support schools to clearly communicate the conduct
expected of parents, carers and visitors while they’re on
state school grounds, at school activities, and interacting
with others in the school community.
A copy of the code is displayed in the foyer and is attached
to this newsletter.
Attendance
As the Year 12’s and then Yr 10’s and 11’s begin to finish
school, it is important that students attend school each day
until their finish date. Attending through to the final date is
important as learning is occurring up to the last day. In
week 10, we will have an alternate program but it will still
contain teamwork and resilience learning activities.
Ms Hannah Johnson, the Youth Engagement Officer, is
working with students to support them to attend each day.
Also following up on unexplained absences is another key
role Hannah completes. As students must be at school
each day (unless they are ill or a necessary appointment),
missed days must be explained. All absences must be
accounted for. The easiest way to do this is to reply to the
ID Attend text message to advise of your child’s absence.
Miners Memorial It was very moving to see a large contingent of school
students and town folk honouring the memory of miners
who had lost their lives in the State Mine disaster on the
13th October, 1954. The tributes, songs, poems and
prayers all worked to teach our young people the price
people have paid in our community and the need to come
home to family safely each day.
Santos Science Experience
During the holidays, 21st to the
23rd September Cooper
Groocock and Tallyn Broderick,
participated in the Santos
Science Experience at the CQ
University Campus, Townsville.
The program gave them an insite
into forensic science, coding,
robotics, nursing, paramedics as
well as working with Engineers
at the Energy Queenslands
Innovation hub to solve a
community problem.
Cooper -
“I really enjoyed the Santos Science Experience and
moving around the university campus. It gave me a good
idea of what career choices I might make in the future. The
excursion around the university campus was very
interesting and a good experience.”
Tallyn -
“Everyone was really nice at the Santos Science
Experience. I enjoyed learning about Nursing and how
much waste is produced. The university campus
experience was very interesting. The buildings were very
modern and nice and there was a huge spinning door that I
have never seen before”

A select group of students have participated in the

QMEA Tradies for a Day
As a part of Collinsville State High School’s whole
school approach to Social and Emotional Wellbeing,
students have engaged in the TRAIC funded
Resilience Project. Today Year 7 had a visit from The
Resilience Project Representatives from Evolution
Mining and North Queensland Cowboys
representative Gavin Cooper. Aside from being a little
star struck, the students enjoyed completing activities
focusing on three key pillars proven to cultivate
positive emotion; Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness
(GEM) with our special guests. The gratitude walk
and random notes were a real hit as was the whole
school cricket match.
