Delroy Campus – Year 7 Transition Evening

We pay our respects to the Wiradjuri people, who are the

traditional custodians of the land on which Delroy Campus

sits, and pay respects to Elders past and present and extend

that respect to all Aboriginal people who are part of our

school community. What outstanding students we have a Delroy! You will see in

the newsletter many examples of student excellence inside

and outside the classroom. These opportunities only occur

because of the dedicated teachers and staff we have at Delroy.

I would just like to highlight a few examples of our outstand-

ing students.

At the end of last term Member for Dubbo and Deputy

Premier Troy Grant announced Ngali Shaw as the inaugural

2016 Aboriginal student of the year for the Dubbo Electorate.

Mr Grant presented Ngali with this award at a ceremony held

at South Campus saying “Ngali has been a fine mentor and

good role model for other students both Aboriginal and non-

Aboriginal”.

Ngali will now join other students from across NSW and head

to Sydney in Week 3 to attend the Emerging Leaders Forum,

where they will meet with Aboriginal, business and

Government leaders.

This follows on from Maree Pobje winning the Dubbo

Electorate Soap Box Challenge in April hosted by Member

for Dubbo and Deputy Premier Troy Grant.

Ngali Shaw, Tim Boney (Delroy Campus) and Amberlilly

Gordon (Senior Campus) have gained selection to the

Bangarra Dance Theatre part of the NSW Public Schools

State Dance Ensemble and now have a gruelling schedule of

rehearsal to attend in Sydney for the State Dance Festival and

the State Schools Spectacular. Our SLSO and Aboriginal

dance leader, Mr Doug Gordon will accompany the students.

Shannon Kassell was the NSW winner of the NAPCAN

child protection poster competition. Her poster on the theme

of “Protecting children is everyone’s business” is now being

printed ready for National Child Protection Week

4th to 10th September.

We also have a number of students who have been selected in

CHS western teams:

Gymnastics: Dakota Lacrosse and Elwyn Green

Netball: Krystal Dallinger

Cross Country: John Hill, Bailey Lacrosse and

Mathew Bridges

Dubbo College Uniform Review Team will be working

hard to review our current uniform for the College.

If you would like to be part of this process, you are invited

to attend our meeting that will be held weekly on Thursdays

at 3.45pm in the Library at Dubbo College Delroy Campus.

These meetings will commence on Thursday 3rd August

2016.

Later in the Term in Week 9, 14th Sept 4:30 to 6:30pm

parent/teacher interviews will be held. If you would like to

speak with your child’s teacher before then please phone the

school and make an appointment. We are always happy to

discuss your child’s progress at any time.

Preparing the timetable for 2017 is a focus for Term 3,

Year 10 subject selections for the Senior Campus are

underway and a number of transition activities have been

organised for Terms 3 and 4. A separate note will go home

about that.

Students in Years 8 and 9 will receive a subject information

booklet for Stage 5 (Years 9 and 10) to choose electives.

Again, I repeat my advice to students to choose electives

you actually like, not what your friends are doing.

Congratulations to Mrs Stacey Exner who will be the

relieving Executive Principal for Terms 3 and 4. I look

forward to working closely with her and my fellow

Principals, Mr Andrew Jones and Mr Ross Gorrie in

providing the highest quality holistic education for students

in Dubbo.

The Delroy family sends our best wishes to Mr Gorrie who

has been in hospital in Sydney and we wish him a speedy

recovery. Ms Suzie Foran is relieving Principal in his

absence.

Remember our Delroy values: Honesty, Respect,

perseverance and loyalty.

Thank you, Mrs Head Principal

CAPA Excursion

NEWS – Thank you everyone who has shown interest in the CAPA excursion this year, no doubt it is one not to be missed. The 37

original places have been filled. Unfortunately, there was some miscommunication and too many have been given access to

pay their deposit. Due to this, we have to notify approximately 13 students who will now be on a waiting list as they were

‘outside’ the 37. A list of the 37 students plus the 13 on the waiting list can be found outside the Art Staffroom and the Music

Staffroom. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

CLASSROOM REPORTS –

Visual Arts: Year 7 and Year 8 – Both Year 7 and Year 8 classes have made a swap from music to art and vice versa. This means they

each have new teachers and new classrooms and therefore received a new timetable at the beginning of this term. It is

Semester 2 already and each class has shown great enthusiasm to learn new skills in Visual Art and have adjusted to their new

learning environment in a positive way.

Year 7 will begin looking at Portraiture, creating several portraits including self portraits using a variety of different

materials. Exploration is an important aspect this term so that the students become familiar with most artmaking materials.

Year 8 are investigating the graffiti world

and street art. Already the students have

been introduced to street artists Banksy

and King Robbo through the insightful

documentary ‘Graffiti Wars’. In the

coming weeks the students will be making

and printing their own stencil as well as

begin designing and printing their own

Lino print design. They have already

begun designing their own tag to create a

collaboration piece for the classroom. It’s

going to look awesome!!

Right and below is a series of photo-

graphs from semester one, Years 7 and 8

students, with completed assessment

work. They were all such great pieces of

work and each student should be proud of

their efforts.

Photography –

The photography elective class will be investigating, in depth,

composition and how composition will make and break a photo-

graph. The students will be participating in a lot of practical tasks

complete throughout the term. Photographs from this checklist

will be used to create a portfolio of work for assessment.

Delroy students training in the Duke of Edinburgh International Award

recently travelled to the Warrumbungle National Park for a Practice Hiking

Expedition. Planned, were three hikes: a large hike to the Grand High Tops

and Bread Knife, and two shorter ones to Burbies Canyon and Belougery Split

Rock. Things didn’t quite go to plan however …

Serious rain started as we drove up from Dubbo on the Sunday morning, but

we did think it would clear enough for us to hike. We set up tents in Camp

Blackman because hot showers after clod walks seemed like a great idea, and it

did work well to keep us warm at the end of each day. What we hadn’t banked

on were the two creek crossings between us and the walks rising to the point

they were closed.

For a day and a half we kept our-

selves busy with short walks and

chat sessions. The weather sort of

cleared but by lunch Monday, with

the creek still up, some of us were

running out of dry gear. After call-

ing the Ranger for advice, he very

kindly came across and together

we measured the flow and depth of

the crossings. Knowing that more

rain was on the way and we would

possibly be forced to stay several

more days, we decided to chance the crossings.

We drove through the crossings with just the ranger to start with, to make sure

they were OK, and then decided to strike camp quickly (we had about 20

minutes!), and try the crossings with everyone on board. A bit exciting, but we

got through OK and after travelling through more heavy rain. We got back to

Dubbo in the dark, but ready for another hot shower and a warm bed.

It’s a race - ready, set, go…….

Mr Paul Woodhead Duke of Edinburgh Leader We are ready for anything……..

Hmmm, still rising…... Rainy day activities….

Look what I

made…..

Swollen creeks at the Warrumbungles...
