Delroy Campus – Year 7 Transition Evening
From the Principal...
I would like to begin my report for this
newsletter by congratulating all students on
their efforts during our recent Half Yearly
examinations. The application and effort by
all students was outstanding and I look
forward to seeing the results of these
efforts. Staff are currently preparing
Semester 1 Reports and these will be
issued to parents by mail at the end of this
term.
Miss Kathryn Bermingham Deputy
Principal Delroy Campus was invited to
Darwin to discuss her experience with the
Aboriginal Girls Circle Program, which has
been running with great success at the
College since 2010. Miss Bermingham was
part of a contingent including Madelene
McGrath from NAPCAN, Dr Sue Roffey
who developed the concept and Brenda
Dobia from the University of Western
Sydney who evaluated the program. The
group made a presentation to government
officials last Wednesday.
See Miss Bermingham’s report on Page 3.
We have many students representing us at
District Cross Country and our support unit
participated in an AFL carnival last week.
Year 10 had the opportunity to attend the
Astley Cup Assembly at the Senior
Campus and we look forward to some of
our students participating in and supporting
this annual event in the upcoming weeks.
I would like to thank staff, students,
parents and community members for their
contribution and efforts during Semester 1
and wish everyone an enjoyable and safe
holiday break.

The Delroy Campus Vocal Group were successful in receiving
FIRST PLACE in the Eisteddfod section ‘Vocal-Small
Section’. They represented Delroy superbly performing two
pieces: ‘My Island Home’ by Christina Anu and ‘The Chain’ by
Ingrid Michaelson. They received great marks and encouraging
feedback, 92/100 and 94/100. Miss Jessica Jones and
Ms Katie Bell-Lange are extremely proud of the girls. Keep up
the great work!
Term 2 has been a busy term for Clontarf. In Week 4
Year 10 were given the opportunity to go to Sydney
and meet one of our partners, Fox Sports.

Delroy’s Mirrikie breaks
31-year-old 400m record
A 31-year-old school record for the 400 metres has been
broken at this year’s Dubbo College Delroy Campus Athletics
carnival, and the original record-holder could not be happier.
Former Delroy High School student athlete Colleen Bragg set the
record of 1:15:00 in her Year 7 athletics carnival in 1984, not
realising at the time the record would remain hers for the next
31 years.
The Moree-based PDHPE teacher, 43, was overcome with
emotion when she heard the news and passed on her best wishes
to the new record-holder, 12-year-old Mirrikie Shaw, who set a
new time of 1:13:38.
“When I was at Delroy I had to work really hard to beat the
Aboriginal girls because they were so naturally talented, so I am
not surprised that Mirrikie is Aboriginal and has broken the
record,” she said.
“I was a really keen runner and I used to really look forward to
the athletics carnival, which was always held at Victoria Park
number one oval”, Colleen said.
“I would always run in bare feet on the grass track and I took part
in every running event from the 100 metres to the 1,500, and in
every throwing and jumping event from Year 7 to Year 12.
“I was very competitive in those days.
“We lived out of town on the Narromine Road and runn
ing and cycling were my favourite pastimes, but I also played basketball and netball.”
Colleen who married her partner Alfred Priestley, a Gomeroi Aboriginal man from Moree, three years ago, now has two
young sons who also excel in athletics.
“My seven-year-old is very fast and always likes me to compete with him in the parents’ race at the sports carnival,” she
said, “while my six-year-old is more talented in gymnastics.”
For current Delroy Campus student Mirrikie, breaking the record set three decades ago brought a gentle smile to her face.
The youngest child of six, including five older brothers, doesn’t practice a great deal and has a natural running ability.
“I haven’t tried the 1,500 but I do compete in everything from the 100 metres to the 800, she said.
“I always wear joggers when I run and I would say the new track at the Barden Park facility has helped me pick up a bit of
speed.
“I also play netball, basketball
and touch football and I come
from a very sports-oriented
family. My older brothers are all
involved in sport, my mum was a
swimmer and horse-rider and my
dad was good at athletics and
rugby league.”
Mirrikie has received a
scholarship to boarding school in
Sydney next year where she plans
to continue her sporting endeav-
ours.
Colleen said she wished Mirrikie
good luck for the future and urged
her not to give up on her athletics. Colleen Bragg Delroy High School

Dubbo College Delroy Campus heavy
metal fan, 14-year-old David Woods,
will join a throng of voices making up
this year’s Moorambilla Outback Choir.
Together with his brother Johnathan, 12
years, and sister 10-year-old Jessica, both
students at North Dubbo primary school,
David successfully auditioned for
Moorambilla last term.
As part of the choir, David will join up to
200 students from rural areas of the State
to access quality and often life-changing
opportunities not usually available in
regional areas.
The Moorambilla program, the brain-
child of former Coonamble resident
Michelle Leonard, has been operating
now for 10 years and encompasses
30 regional towns and more than 55 schools. As many as 12,000 students have taken part in the program, including talented
Dubbo College students Nathan Bryon, who is now spending time at the Washington State Opera, and soprano Billie Palin.
David and his brother and sister will attend special camps including individual girls’ and boys’ residency camps in August,
as well as a week of residency in Baradine in September, culminating in a Proms Concerts at the Baradine Memorial Hall
and a gala concert at the Dubbo Theatre on September 19. David is very excited about the opportunity and looking forward
to meeting other students interested in music. “My mum, Elizabeth, sings a lot at home so I suppose we have all picked it up
from her,” he said. “As well as singing, I also play the trumpet and piano at school, but I really like heavy metal bands like
Metallica.”
Delroy Campus music teacher Katie Bell-Lange said students like David and his siblings require a strong sense of rhythm to
participate in the program. “Access to Moorambilla is based on musical ability so to be involved students need to have raw
talent,” she said. “We are really proud of David’s achievement and he will now have amazing opportunities to develop his
talent by working with top class composers and musicians.”

FROM DUBBO TO DARWIN I had the privilege to represent Dubbo College at a meeting
with representatives of the Northern Territory Government
to inform them about the Aboriginal Girls Circle that Delroy
Campus has been running for the last 6 years. Twenty
representatives from various areas of Government heard from
Dr Sue Roffey, the instigator of the program,
Dr Brenda Dobia, head of the research team that evaluated
the pilot of the Aboriginal Girls Circle program in Dubbo,
Madelene McGrath, representing NAPCAN, the organisation
that supported the implementation of the program at Delroy
and myself, the coordinator of the program in the school.
Many questions were asked of us and answered thoroughly
with positive feedback about how successful the program
seemed to be. The timeframe for our presentation was from
10.am until 11.30am on Wednesday 10th June, however,
12.20pm saw the wrapping up of the conversations. Overall a
very positive experience and we look forward to the Northern
Territory implementing the Aboriginal Girls Circle across
their communities.
In addition to being part of a successful presentation, I also
had the privilege of meeting Evonne Goolagong Cawley at
the Qantas Lounge in the Darwin airport. As a tennis player
this was an absolute thrill.

OUTSTANDING Creative ARTS STUDENTS
Delroy Art Club: Walking amongst the trees in the car park today the Art Club Drawing students collected the first of their inspirations for a
larger work. We took the leaf litter back to the room to draw and the students took their time rendering the details. These
will lead to the making of lino prints and combining their works into a larger composition. The sculptures being created
on Mondays are taking shape, taking up a lot more room. Soon there will be colour and details, it is very exciting. I have
been measuring the space in the Music room where some of the works will be finding their home.
Music News… Year 7 Instrument Making
Year 7 have been busy making home-made instruments using all different kinds
of materials. Some students had help from Mr Martin in TAS or from parents/
carers. They were marked based on their initial ideas, the sounds quality and
how they made it. Students then had to perform/demonstrate their instrument.

Year 7 and Year 8 Artmaking Year 7 – Most, if not all students have begun using clay to build their mythical beast they have designed in their visual arts
diary. Some students may wish to bring gloves in if they are not happy with getting their hands dirty using the clay.
Students may also wish to bring in an old oversized t-shirt or apron to help avoid dirtying their uniforms.
Year 8 – Students have been busy designing a sculptural piece that signifies the human form and an ‘issue’ that is relevant
to themselves and the world. Some issues students have chosen to express include war, gender, drug use and science.
Students are now busy sculpting their design using clay and/or plaster.
Drawing Class (Interest Group) – We have been exploring the art of sketching. We had a few students model in the
centre of the classroom for 10 minutes at a time whilst the remainder of the class quickly sketched their position. There is a
great deal of talent in this class, I am eager to see what their capabilities truly are. From Mrs McConnell

Year 9/10 Industrial Technology Engineering Elective It has been very rewarding watching both the Year 9 and Year 10 Engineering students design and construct a bridge that
will be put ‘under the pump’ when weights are added to see just how much weight their bridge can bare. Students have been
working in small teams of 3 or 4 to construct their bridges in the practical rooms. The students will be publicly testing the
weight bearing of their bridges to their fellow colleagues during a Friday recess. The bridge which withstands the greatest
weight will win a small prize for their efforts.
Once this assessment has been completed, students will begin working on designing and building an F1 race car using Balsa
Wood. It is part of a state wide competition held every year where school groups compete for the fastest F1 race car design.
We have already begun researching and had a quick play with some plasticine on making a F1 race car and constructing our
very own race track.
We look forward to seeing what these students can create.

Country Cup League Report Delroy Campus recently competed in the Country Cup divisional day
held in Dubbo in the U/13 and U15 division. A big thanks to Mr Wade
(U/15) and Mr Boon (U/13) for taking the teams on the day.
Both teams were great ambassadors for the school, displaying good
sportsmanship and doing their best in all games played.
In the U/13’s the team started the day with a strong 10-4 win over
Mudgee High. In the next game the team were defeated by Wellington
High 14-0. In their final game of the day the team went down to
St Johns College 26-10. Throughout the day Callum Dowling was the
standout for the team tackling everything that moved and setting up our
attack into numerous try scoring opportunities. Prop Billy Bateup and
Captain Quincy Ross also played strongly on the day.
In the under 15’s the team played matches against Wellington High and
Narromine High. In both matches the team had some great passages of
play, particularly in attack. Randall Dowling and Tim Boney were the
stand outs for the team on the day. While “pint sized” Harry Ritchie was
a crowd favourite with his fearless play.

College Sport-Girls Hockey Dubbo College has had a very strong year in Western Area Hockey
with the team finishing as Western area runners up. Delroy was well
represented in the team with Kenzie Macfarlane (Year 7), Chloe
Goodee (Year 8), Maddi Cafe (Year 9) and Lilli Campbell (Year 8)
all important members of the team. Kenzie was a leading striker,
Chloe a speedy winger, Maddi a solid defender and Lilli the all
important goalkeeper. Earlier in the year Lilli was selected as a
shadow player for the open Western Area Girls representative team.
After having a bye, defeating Gilgandra High and Wellington High
the team took on Orange High in the final. The Orange High was a
very talented team with several state representatives. Unfortunately
Orange High despite the best efforts of Dubbo College won the game
5-1 to progress to the state finals.
All girls were commended on their sportsmanship and the way they
represented Dubbo College by coach Alice Maher (South Campus).
Given the girls’ ages we look forward to their continued success in
hockey for Dubbo College.

On Thursday 28th May, Year 10 attended the program LOVE BITES. This program is based around domestic violence and
assult. Students participated in classroom workshops until lunch facilitated by NSW health, Child health, NSW Domestic
Violence, and NSW Police. Students were very engaged in the activities which made them more aware of domestic violence
issues within the community and where help is available.
The afternoon session involved practical sessions of mosaic art, painting, gym activities and traditional Aboriginal games.
Students choose an activity that they would use for relaxation time after stressful events occurred. All students filled out an
evaluation and all students stated they found the sessions interesting and engaging. They gained a better understanding of all
issues and gained excellent resources if they (or friends) ever need advice or help. A very big thank you to Krystal Pilon
from NSW Health for the time and effort she gave Delroy for running the course. It was very much appreciated by all staff
and students.
