WELCOME TO YR 7 BBQ On Thursday 3rd March, our Year 7 students and their families were given the opportunity to attend

the annual 'Welcome to Year 7' BBQ. The event was held in the beautiful surrounds of the

Aboriginal gardens and not only included a tasty BBQ, which was cooked and served by our

wonderful SRC students, but also included a friendly game of cricket on the hockey oval. The

afternoon event was attended by a large number of Year 7 teachers, parents and carers and SRC

students.

The Year 7 students and their families were offered a delicious piece of chocolate mud cake in

their honour. The cake was beautifully decorated in Canobolas colours and was proudly cut by

one of our Year 7 students, Rebekah Ryder. The 'Welcome to Year 7' BBQ allows students the

opportunity to introduce their family members to both teachers and other parents in a relaxed and

fun environment.

Mrs Nash, the Year 7 Year Adviser, was extremely pleased with the number of Year 7 students who

attended the BBQ with their families. The 'Welcome to Year 7' BBQ was a wonderful success

and we look forward to welcoming parents and carers of Year 7 into our school for other events in

the near future.

From the

Principal’s Desk Dear Parents and Members of our School Community

Welcome to Week 6. Next week we will formally welcome our Japanese exchange students and

their teachers to our school. Fifteen students and two staff will travel from Toyo Ushiku school in

Japan to our school as part of the annual sister school exchange program between both of our

schools. Our guests will be visiting a number of classes and participating in activities such as

Ceramics, Cooking, Art and Music. I would like to thank our families who have volunteered to host

our guests for their two week stay. I am sure our guests will have the time of their lives and I am

looking forward to spending some time with them next week.

Academically Talented Program

Over the coming weeks, families of students in local primary schools will receive application forms

for our Academically Talented classes for 2017. This is an exciting opportunity for our academically

talented students and we are committed to ensuring that we continue to offer programs for all of

our students to develop and grow them academically, socially, culturally and emotionally.

Information is available on our school website.

Year 11 Parent Teacher Information Evening

On Thursday 3rd March we held a parent information evening for current Year 11 students. Our

students were introduced to the requirements of their preliminary certificate. Thank you to those

parents and students who attended for your feedback and support.

Welcome to Year 7 BBQ

Thank you to the parents, students, staff and family members who attended the Year 7 welcome

BBQ on Thursday evening. Supporting the transition to high school is key for our team and I

encourage you to continue the open lines of communication between yourself and our school if

you need anything at all.

For the next five weeks I will be out of the school working in a different role within the Department

of Education. During this time, Ms Kate Wootten and Mr Stuart Riles will be relieving as Principal.

Please feel free to contact them on 6362 1677 if you have any questions or queries.

I hope you have a great fortnight and I look forward to speaking with you all in Term 2.

With my warmest regards

CANOBOLAS BIG PICTURE BIG PICTURE LAUNCH

OH, what a night!

A very successful night was had by all who attended the Big Picture launch on Wednesday 18 th Feb in the

Health Building at Canobolas High. Students, teachers, parents and carers were blown away by the

support from the community in regards to their interest in the new Big Picture Education program and its

philosophy on re-engaging students via their passions and interests in their education.

On arrival attendees were welcomed at the school gates by Big Picture students who politely directed

them to the Health building where Kyle Fardell provided some background music, setting up a wonderful

relaxed atmosphere for others to chat to potential mentors in their prospective interest areas.

Thank you to our Principal, Mr Bliss for a very reflective welcome and to Erin Dalzell for the

acknowledgement of country. Viv White, the CEO of Big Picture was once again a special guest as her

knowledge and experience was invaluable towards outlining the expectations of the whole Learning

through Internship (LTI) process and the requirements of the mentor program.

After a couple of insightful speeches from Advisory mentors Mrs Rose and Miss Penberthy, and some VERY

inspirational speeches from Destinee, Emily P and Jack about their Big Picture journey so far, students

offered a selection of sweet treats, savoury quiches and light refreshments to the attendees who then

engaged in conversation with the staff, students, parents and carers and members of the community

about the Big Picture program.

Destinee had a very informative chat to JJ from PhysX and is currently setting up an Informational

Interview; Emily W had a very enthusiastic chat with Karen from Courallie Child Care centre and is now

keen to embark on a Shadow day this Friday; many students spoke with Ben Morris from Future moves at

CSU and are keen to go on a ‘My day, My way’ excursion to Bathurst for the whole University experience;

Emily P had an awesome interview with Sonya, the nurse facilitator at the Orange Base Hospital this week

and is now anxiously waiting clarification for her Shadow day; Jack finally met his potential mentor from

Precision Metal Fabrications at the launch and is looking forward to a Shadow day this term; Dyson met

with Tristan from SNAP fitness; Amelia and Erin have already set up an Informational Interview with Belinda

Bostock, the School Police Liaison Officer and are very excited about what she has planned for them;

Blake has a keen interest in Sign writing and thanks to Ms Wootten and her contacts, has been able to set

up an interview with Pete Golland and help with projects around the school, currently STEM centre

signage.

Overall many contacts were made within the community with potential mentors and a big thank you

goes (once again) to all parents/guardians and carers of the students enrolled in the Big Picture

Education program. We look forward to sharing many more exciting journeys with you all in the future.

A very special thank you to Mike and Geraldine from the Sally Foundation for their invaluable support and

to Vince for his tireless efforts in regards to our media exposure and contacts.

SCIENCE FACULTY NEWS ENERGY IN A BISCUIT

Year 8 was investigating the energy content of food and modelling the way our

bodies ‘burn’ kilojoules. The heat energy released was used to heat up water in a test

tube in a similar way to how our body uses our energy to warm our blood.

New chicks on the block…

Year 12 Biology has hatched some jumbo

quail. It was only 18 days ago that the

class named the eggs and gently placed

them inside the incubator. There were

proud parents all around as they were

reunited. Meanwhile we have studied

inheritance, genetics and cell division,

mitosis and meiosis.

FOSSILS AND EVOLUTION

Year 10 have been looking at how fossils are made, and getting up very close & personal in

the process.

AGRICULTURE NEWS Year 7 Students in the Aria and Quay class have all been issued with

their Term 1 assessment task – Design a Chicken Coop. Although the

assessment is not due until end of Week 8. Three students have

already completed their assessment and have bought in their

designs.

Justice Underhill of 7 Aria handed her fabulous chicken coop model

in last week all constructed of recycled materials. Joshua Whiley also

of 7 Aria has handed in his assessment early. Joshua has constructed

his from ply wood and chicken wire that he had at home.

While another student of 7 Quay was the first in his class to hand in his

marvelous chicken coop model also constructed from recycled

materials.

All three students have put a lot of thought and consideration into

placement of feeders, water, nesting boxes and protection from

predators. I look forward to seeing more chicken coop models rolling

in over the next few weeks.

STEM CENTRE NEWS Year 8 STEM – Biodomes

8STEM classes have been learning about the use of biodomes to grow food for eating in places

where that particular food may not normally grow. Students used the makerspace to prototype

a self-watering plant starter from used PET water bottles normally headed for the bin. It uses a

wick to draw water from its reservoir and keep the seed raising mixture damp enough for the

seeds to grow. This process will help us understand how plants can grow in a biodome. The first

seeds broke through in two days!

Students also used computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) to

label their prototypes with name stickers.

On display in the STEM are some books that received a Prime Minister’s Literary award.

Come and check them out.

Made in Orange The Life and Times of an

Extraordinary Factory is also on display.

This is the story of a manufacturing plant

that began as an armaments factory

during World War II. It then made

household appliances for a rapidly

expanding nation. Over eight decades

the factory continually confronted and

rebuffed economic changes before

succumbing to the progress of

globalisation. This year marks the

decommissioning of the Electrolux

factory and this book showcases its

amazing history and provides a

snapshot into Orange’s manufacturing

industry. Many students from our school

would more than likely have generations

of family members who worked at this

factory. So come and have a browse

through this book, you never know you

might see a familiar face!

EBOOK CATALOGUE

We have recently purchased titles for our new

ebook catalogue. Year 7 classes will be informed

about our new ebook platform over the next few

weeks. If you would like to know more, see Mrs

Richard in the STEM centre.

Congratulations to all the students who are continuing to display a

high level of effort in practical lessons despite the recent high

temperatures. The PDHPE teachers make every effort to maximise

the students time in the shade and participate in activities that are

suitable for the hotter weather. Many of our teachers spend most of

the day in the heat working with our students and supporting them

during difficult conditions.

It is an expectation that all students participate in practical lessons

and follow all instructions given by their teacher. Medical reasons for

exclusion from a sport or PDHPE lesson are only possible with a

medical certificate signed by a doctor accompanied by a letter

from the parent.

A reminder that it is a good idea to bring along a hat and ensure

that your child has a drink bottle to use each day.

PDHPE Assessment Reminders

Many of the PDHPE classes across the years are currently working on assessable items both in class and at home. I

reminder that if your child does not complete an assessment task and hand it on time for marking it will affect the overall

grade they are awarded for PDHPE. This grade also has a practical effort, attitude and participation mark for lessons

where students participate in practical games, sports and various physical activities. Please note that this component of

the course is compulsory and students may only be excused from these classes with a medical note during the time of

injury recovery.

Girri Girri News

The Girri Girri girls group were fortunate enough to be

able to participate in an aboriginal art workshop, that

was lead by Hayden Gibbs. The workshop allowed

the girls to not only learn about particular painting

techniques, but also about traditional symbols and the

stories that accompany paintings. Over the next two

weeks the students will be painting their own artworks,

which will be displayed around the school.

Biodomes in the STEM centre

CHPA students in sync with each

other in their training.

The Canobolas Rural Technology High School will showcase two of its outstanding

initiatives at this conference. These include our STEM and CHPA programs of which

we are so very proud.

Conference synopsis: To address the changing educational needs of students and

increase engagement, The Canobolas Rural Technology High School, has two

innovative projects to share.

Project 1 – Canobolas High Performance Athletes (CHPA) program. CHPA students are supported by industry professionals and a school based management team. Local industry representatives work with students in the area of Strength and Conditioning, Exercise and Sport Science, Physiotherapy, Pilates, Nutrition, Sports Psychology, Media Skills and Sports Coaching. Students learn: specific time management and organisational skills; participate in ongoing individual strength, speed,

flexibility, power and aerobic endurance programs; access state of the art exercise testing and training equipment in a university exercise physiology laboratory setting; further develop technical and tactical skills within their chosen sport; and experience elite sporting environments and events

Project 2 – STEM centre and Stage 4 STEM curriculum. Following recent STEM trials in the school, The Canobolas Rural Technology High School is embedding an integrated project based STEM curriculum for all students in Stage 4 and establishing a STEM Centre. The STEM Centre encourages Students Thinking Exploring and Making and has two unique learning areas – the Thinkerspace and Makerspace – for lesson delivery. The units of learning feature technology maker projects as the vehicle for Scientific and Mathematical thinking. STEM extends the learning of their most talented students while at the same time reengaging those who ask, “Why do I even need to learn this anyway?” The units are designed to mesh with the Science Scope and Sequence to enhance learning.

The Tell Them From Me student feedback survey

I am delighted that this term, our school, like many others in the state, will participate in a

Department of Education initiative: the Tell Them From Me student feedback survey. The

survey aims to help improve student learning outcomes and measures factors that are known

to affect academic achievement and other student outcomes. The focus of the NSW-wide

survey is on student wellbeing, engagement and effective teaching practices.

More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/

information-for-parents

The survey is a great opportunity for our students to provide our school with valuable and

quick feedback on what they think about school life, how engaged they are with school and

the different ways that teachers interact with them. Schools in Australia and around the world

have used the Tell Them From Me survey to help improve how they do things at school.

I want to assure you that the survey is confidential and school staff will not be able to identify

individual students from their responses. The survey is conducted online and will typically take

less than 30 minutes to complete. It will be administered during school hours between 14

March and 8 April. Participating in the survey is entirely voluntary.

A consent form and a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) for parents/carers about the

survey is being sent home with students over the next week. If you do not want your child or

children to participate, please return the consent form to school by Monday 14th March. The

FAQs and copies of the consent form, including translated consent forms, are available from

the website above.

Deputy Principal – Teacher Quality

IMPORTANT — UPDATED STUDENT MEDICAL INFORMATION REQUIRED

A reminder to parents to notify the school about your child’s health

We welcome information from parents about your child's health, even if you are not requesting specific

support from our school. Our school asks for medical information when you enrol your child. It is also im-

portant that you let us know if your child’s health care needs change or if a new health condition devel-

ops.

Information about allergies, medical conditions such as asthma and diabetes and other health care re-

lated issues (including prior conditions such as medical procedures in the last 12 months) should be pro-

vided to the school by parents. Please provide this information in writing to the principal and if relevant

please provide updated health care plans (eg. Emergency Response Plan, ASCIA Action Plan for Ana-

phylaxis, Asthma Action Plan or Individual Health Care Plan). This will greatly assist our school in planning

to support your child’s health and wellbeing.

Please also remember to notify staff in the school office of any changes to your contact details or to the

contact details of other people nominated as emergency contacts.

We appreciate your assistance in this regard and assure you that any information you provide the school

will be stored securely and will only be used or disclosed in order to support your son or daughter’s health

needs or as otherwise required by law.

SCHOOL NOTICES

UNIFORM

If you have any uniform items at home that no longer fit your child, please consider donating

them to the school. Please drop them off at the Front office. Also please remember to clearly

label all items of your child’s school uniform.

ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL

You may be aware that from January 2010 the NSW Government legislated an increase in the

school leaving age for students from 15 years to 17 years. This means that if your child is not 17

and is not in full time work or other tertiary study, they MUST attend school. Our school will be

working closely with Mr Lyndon Marriott (Careers Adviser) and our Deputy Principals to ensure

that we are able to cater for the needs of all students.

The Government and the Department of Education and Communities have also recently

reviewed a number of child protection initiatives. Attendance at school was one of these. If

your child is absent for any reason, it is essential that you contact the school and provide

notification of the child’s absence in writing on the first day your child returns. Our school will

take very seriously unexplained absences. If students are genuinely ill or have some other

genuine reason for not being able to attend school, then the school will support you at all

times. However, it is the parents/caregivers responsibility to ensure that their children attend

school everyday.
