P & C NEWS
I had the honour of attending the latest GLLC Academic Assembly which was held in early August. It always impresses me to see the depth of academic abilities which are publically acknowledged during this awards ceremony. Congratulations to all recipients of certificates (eventually in some students cases), as well as to all teachers and parents of those students. The Years 12 students should have finished their trial HSC exams, and will now be in the (long) “home run” before the final exams beginning mid-October. I wish all those sitting the exams the best, and hope their studies are going according to plan. Our last P & C meeting including a principal free, parent survey session with a representative from the Education Department. Those present were asked on their views about the College, as well as the perception of the College in the community. Several schools in the area were similarly surveyed during the visit, and feedback will be collated and in time, returned to the College principals. Guy Laden,P & C President

Library News
Here at Forster Campus Library, we are in the process of modernising our learning space bringing it into the 21st Century alongside current pedagogy. Since the start of Term 3, library staff have been working tirelessly in designing a collaborative learning space to promote student and staff learning through an open space living atmosphere. In order to achieve this outcome we have been working hard re-shelving books resulting in using less display units which has led to opening up the floor space. Next, library staff along with advice and assistance from Ros Martin from TAS, have recovered some old furniture bringing them back to life to assist in creating a vibrant atmosphere. The library has welcomed new bright furniture to allow for cooper-ative games and collaborative learning to occur. New signage has been placed on some of the windows and doors around the library which promote learning and how libraries help in the education process. This is just the beginning of the library’s new transformation. Nathan De Rooy Teacher Librarian (Relieving)
Girl’s Together Day On Friday August 11 (Week 4 Term 3), all Year 7 and 9 girls from Forster Campus attended the “Girls Together Day” at Club For-ster. This day was based around building resilience, setting life goals and looking at the opportunities that are available to them as young women. Approximately 100 girls and 7 staff members attended workshops delivered by Community Health, Home Base and Mid Coast Women’s Domestic Violence Advocacy Service. Guest speaker Holly Rankin AKA musician ‘Jack River’ motivated the students with her inspirational life journey and Jackie from Sweat Shed created a flash mob ‘dance off’ after lunch. Students also worked on their team building and communication skills with Ms Sanders. The students enjoyed their workshops and were praised for their participation and involvement by the presenters. Overall the day helped the girls build positive relationships with adults and their peers while giving them the opportunity to think of what path they might take in the future.

Mates Day
All boys in Year 7 and 9 were invited to Mates Day to strengthen their relationships and highlight the importance of friendship and resilience. The day was held at Lizzie Beach and involved a series of Survivor-like challenges, which were designed to test physical strength, mental fortitude, cooperation, teamwork and strategic thinking. All activities focused on the idea of having a supportive group of mates and being able to communicate effectively. The boys took a breather with 40 minutes set aside to share stories and talk about the positive aspects of having and maintaining healthy relationships. The boys were randomly allocated to a team with a mixture of Year 7 and Year 9 boys in each group, with the latter taking on a leadership role within the group. The day was a huge success as the boys had an action packed day in the sun and were able to form new friendships and strengthen their bond with their mates. The feedback from all involved was positive and we will be hoping to make it bigger and better next year. Tim Alliston PDHPE Teacher/Year 8 Adviser, Forster Campus

Year 10 Forster Campus
Snow Adventure 6am Sunday August 20 saw 41 Year 10 students from Forster Campus leave on their adventure to the snow. After a very long bus trip we stopped in Canberra to visit the Australian War Memorial and Questacon. Then it was on to Berridale to prepare for the next Three days at the snow. Monday and Tuesday at the snow saw perfect condi-tions with brilliant sunshine, light snow falling in the afternoon and mountains of snow to keep everyone happy. Everyone took on the challenge of learning how to either snowboard or ski at Smiggins Hole or Perisher. On Wednesday the conditions deteriorated with the temperature dropping to below zero for the day. The conditions did not deter the students who took to the slopes with gusto, gaining more knowledge during skiing and snowboarding lessons and challenging themselves on the more difficult runs. Everyone improved over the three days and had a great time in the snow. Behaviour was excellent and all students were great role models for the College. Annette Sanders, Trip Organiser

TUNCURRY CAMPUS
Principals Report The last few weeks have been extremely hectic at Tuncurry Campus. Last week Senior Constable Stephen Jeffries the Police Youth Liaison Officer, delivered a presentation to all for Year groups on Cyber bullying and risks associated with social media. The students were very receptive to the talks and I thank the Senior Constable for his time. Mrs Hammond organised the last round of Vaccinations for Year 7 to take place on Thursday August 31. Mrs Hammond was extremely impressed with the behaviour of the students and the respect shown to the people from NSW Health. In sport, the campus has had great success, with the 9/10 Boys Futsal team making it through to the regional finals, to be held in November and the 9/10 Boys Indoor Netball team will be competing in the state finals in the last week of this term. Congratulations to all students involved. Year 10 student, Sam Gibson, has made the NSW CHS Open boys Tennis team. A tremendous achievement from Sam considering he was competing against students two years older than himself. The annual Maths Instruction day was recently held for Year 7 students. The students participated in a number of practical activities illustrating how maths is used in everyday life. During Week 7, Years 7 and 9 were involved in the online NAPLAN readiness tests. The tests enabled the school to pinpoint issues with conducting the tests online and allowed the students to experience how the tests would be conducted in the years to come. Thank you to both year groups for your cooperation during this time. I would also like to thank Mrs Gabriel and Mrs Donegan for the time they spent in learning, preparing and delivering the tests. A massive task made easier by their professionalism and dedication. Recently a group of Year 9 and 10 students, along with Mr Ruprecht participated in the SES Cadetship Program. The aim of the Cadet Program for Secondary Schools is to provide students with the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to achieve an understanding of the NSW State Emergency Service and its role in the community. A more comprehensive report can be found later in the newsletter. Upcoming Events: The Term 3 merit assembly was held on Tuesday 5th September. I congratulate all students on receiving a merit and enjoyed catching up with their parents and carers after the ceremony. Parent Teacher afternoons will be held on the 7th September and again on the 14th September. These after-noons provide an opportunity for parents and carers to meet their child’s teachers and discuss their progress and how they can assist in their learning. Once again I look forward to meeting and discussing aspects of school life with you. Finally on Tuesday 19th September, Tuncurry Campus will be holding their PBL Launch Day. Throughout 2017, Mrs St Hill and now Miss Lawrie and the PBL team, have been introducing the concept of Positive Behaviour for Learning or PBL. The students have been provided with lessons on how to conduct themselves at the canteen, in assemblies and at the front office. Students demonstrating the correct behaviour are rewarded with an ‘Ernie’. The day is to officially launch PBL in the school. After the official assembly, there will be numerous activities including face painting, crazy hair, student and staff bands, tug-o-war, basketball shooting, golf competitions, wet sponge throwing, ice-cream, milkshakes and a free sausage sizzle. Mrs Bown, Mrs Cougle and I will also be ‘slimed’ by students as part of the fun. I encourage parents to come and support the day. Mr Rosenbaum Relieving Principal.

Year 10 Work-experience I am so proud of our Year 10 2017. Those that have taken up the opportunity of doing work experience have not only done us proud but have come back with renewed passion and interest in school and enthusiasm for life beyond school. In order for our students to go on work experience they must first complete a portfolio. This is the beginning of their pro-fessional life and contains important documents such as birth certificate, TFN, USI as well as their resume, career investi-gation/research work, any merit awards, or references. The effort put into some of these portfolios has been outstand-ing and allows our students to head off on work experience and stand out amongst others who haven’t made the effort. I would like to acknowledge our very own Emmie Rudd who did work-experience at Collarenebri Area Health Service. Be-low is an extract from a letter her supervisor sent to the school after she had completed her work experience.
Emmie showed a very mature skill level in regards to communication. She communicated very well with both resi-dents and emergency patients. She really seemed to enjoy sitting and talking about patients life experiences and even tried to relate to their stories in which way she could.I have no doubt at all that whatever career path Emmie chooses she will most certainly be successful. We all wish her the best of luck in her future. Well done Emmie!
Students have been to many and varied workplaces this year, including, Dolphin Marine Magic, Australian Academy of Interactive Entertainment, Harper Collins Publishing, University of Technology, local hairdressers, auto repair shops, Glacia House and Mayo Hospital to mention a few. To the right is Sarah Ryall who recently completed a work experience placement at Nabiac Public School. Her supervisor told me she is well suit-ed to the teaching profession. How good is that? Well done Sarah. Pauline Webber, Careers Adviser
Aboriginal Education, Boys and Girls Group
Boys and Girls groups have been planning and designing murals in term 3 to be painted and erected within the College. The groups have worked amazingly well together to come up with the concept and designs. The discussions have been rich in thought and culture, with common discus-sion points linking to the local country and totems of the Worrimi people, as well as, linking to the Mobs of our students off country. Watch this space, but it will be a sight to see when the murals are complete.

PBL NEWS Great Lakes College Tuncurry Campus is now a PBL school. What is PBL? PBL stands for Positive Behaviour for Learning. It is an evidence-based whole school process to improve learning outcomes for all students. What are we focusing on?
Personal best – this focuses on students displaying outstanding application and effort in all tasks, both inside and outside the classroom.
Responsibility – this focuses on students establishing and maintaining outstanding levels of respect, teamwork, sup-port and collaboration, to support their own and others skill development.
Respect – this focuses on students displaying an outstanding degree of compliance with, and care towards, class and school expectations.
Where has PBL been introduced?
Front Office Assembly Canteen
How are students rewarded? Teachers reward students with an Ernie when they are observed following any of the expectations. This is an award designed by teachers as a reward system for students. Students place their Ernie’s in a barrel in the Library. At each Assembly, a student is drawn out and wins a prize. What are people saying? “It has made a significant drop to the amount of “scabbing” in the canteen area” (Belinda, TC Canteen Manager) “I have got heaps of Ernies to put in the barrel” (Sarah S, TC Yr 8) “Can’t wait to get the Ernies in the front office as a reward to the kids” (Trish, TC SAO) When is our launch day? PBL will be launched on September 19 (Week 10). It will take place period 4, lunch time and period 5. We are planning to have face painting, live music, a teacher versus student game, cake stall / BBQ and plenty more fun activities on the day. Teena Jobson (PBL Promotion Officer)

SES Cadet Program
During Week 6 of Term 3, a group of twenty Year 9 and 10 students proudly sporting orange high-vis uniforms took part in the SES Cadet Program, coordinated by members of the Taree City SES Unit. Throughout the week, students learnt firsthand the valuable role the SES plays in the com-munity and participated in activities focusing on team-building, leadership, problem-solving and communication skills. On Wednesday, students visited the headquarters of the Taree City SES, where they took part in simulated stretcher and harness rescues, operated hydraulic rescue tools and explored the emergency service facilities and vehicles. On Friday, students travelled to Camp Elim, braving the cold and wet conditions (like real SES volunteers!) to participate in a number of simulated emergency situations. Students demonstrated their newly refined leadership and teamwork skills in the land search and dummy retrieval operation and the blindfolded tunnel rescue mission. A big thank you to Mr Garry Fajks and Mr Greg Dodd from the Taree SES Unit for delivering the program and for your outstanding work with the Cadets. Ross Ruprecht

Hunter Region Athletics Carnival
On Wednesday and Thursday 26 and 27 of July, 27 students from Tuncurry Campus travelled to Glendale
Sports Centre to compete at the Regional Athletics Carnival. All students displayed exemplary behaviour and
were responsible and patient throughout the two days of competition. The standard of competition was very
high and not only did the students involved match this high standard, many stood out as outstanding. On both
days, the students left Tuncurry at about 6am and returned home by about 5pm, so there were many tired ath-
letes, parents and teachers. On behalf of the Campus I would like to thank the parents, carers and/or guardians
who made the effort to travel down to Glendale for this competition, in particular those who had to attend
both days, it is a big effort and we really do appreciate it.
Onto the carnival. We had a number of excellent results, of which I won’t be able to include all in this brief arti-
cle. But I will start by outlining the students who competed in multiple events. Byron Lawson, Alicia Williams,
Winston McBride (Senior), Abby Mulligan, Khan Ridgeway, AJ Moran and Amber Morris, all of which competed
in more than one event. Byron and Winston competed in five events! Alicia and Abby competed in 4 each! The
others competed in two and three different events. These athletes had to regularly back up for heats and finals
on the same day and a number of them competed across both days of the carnival.
Let’s start at the very top. The 16s girls relay team won the final of the 4 x 100m by about 50 metres! They were
simply outstanding. The girls, which consisted of Alicia Williams, Molly Duggan (Forster), Natalie Le Rougetel
(Forster), and Emily Driese (Senior) missed out on breaking the Hunter Region record by 0.1 second. The record
has stood since 1985! Well done girls and the best of luck at state. The boys 17s relay team also qualified for
State and ran a convincing second place in the final. Special mention to Khan Ridgeway for running the relay
with short notice and running two years above his age group. Zane Jackson also ran a year above his age group.
Our 14s Girls Relay team also qualified for State but due to a number of other sporting commitments, have had
to pull out of the carnival. The team consisted of Bella Sweeney, Amber-Rose Morris, Grace Aldridge (Forster)
and Lucy Hartman. These girls ran a sensational and courageous relay in the final with most of the girls having
niggling injuries that they had to overcome on the day.
Abby Mulligan (13yrs) and Jasmine Edmonds (12yrs) both qualified for State in high jump. Abby leapt to lead
from the first jump with none of the other competitors being able to match her high standard, eventually win-
ning her event with a height of 1.48m and is a real chance at State. Jasmine jumped very well and came second
in her event. Well done girls and good luck!
Brendan Davison qualified for state after winning the 16 boys Javelin. He was pushed all the way by another
athlete, but ended up winning with a throw of 52.5 metres. Brendan is a genuine chance at State and we wish
him all the best.
AJ Moran and Zane Jackson both qualified for the finals of the 100m sprint and ran a great final. Both athletes
narrowly missed out on qualifying for state and should be congratulated for their efforts. Alayna Craig won her
heat of the 400m comfortably but missed out on the final by 0.2 second. She gave it her all and ran a great
race! Lily Johnson came fourth in the Javelin, again narrowly missing out on a place in state.
Overall, it was a pleasure to accompany and support these students over the two days of this carnival and hope
they come back bigger and better next year. Well done all!

Survivor Update:
Fire starting and cooking have come to an end this term with students becoming proficient at starting a fire from the use of the sun and with a flint and steel. Students also had the opportunity to try their skill and determination to try to start a fire using local traditional Aboriginal methods including using the seed stem form a grass tree and using the drill technique to start a fire.
Once proficient, students were then set the task to design a meal or food item to be cooked on an open flame. Students created an array of meals including some local fish that was caught by the students overnight before the day. Students demonstrated teamwork and morals to work together on the single fire to allow all students to have a successful experience.
The group will be heading to rock climbing after they become proficient in knot tying, and then be in full swing to plan for their overnight excursion to Booti Booti National Park in Term 4

Stem Expo Year 8 had the opportunity of doing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for the first time as an elective subject in 2017. Some of the Year 8 STEM students assisted at our STEM expo in the library in Week 6 to show the Year 7 students what it was all about. The activities they tried out were just a small example of what the students are able to do in the STEM elective. The Ozobot activity was very popular and the students enjoyed drawing lines and colour segment to control programmable robots. There were lots of Year 7 students who were keen to pick STEM as an elective for Year 8 after having experienced how much fun STEM is. It really got students thinking about how things work. Thank you to the Year 8 students who helped out and gave up their time.

Principals Report As Year 12 students track towards completing new course content, commencing revision work, consolidating learning and practising past examination style questions, I would remind all students and parents of the importance of taking full advantage of all timetabled lessons and engaging in discussions to broaden understanding. The period of time between the Trial HSC Examinations and the HSC is a critical learning time and one that our students should take full advantage of by having exemplary attendance and engagement in all lessons. I would also remind students of the importance of taking full advantage of our tutorial program and in addition to our tutorial program, we will again have our school library open and available to our students over the upcoming school holidays. The library will be open from 9am to 3pm on all work days during the vacation break and there will be staff on hand to support and tutor current students. I would like to acknowledge the support shown to Year 12 students by two local business organisations: - Great Lakes Library in Breese Pde Forster have once again supported our Year 12 students by having the library open on the three Wednesday nights leading up to our Trial HSC Examinations. The library was open to our students between the hours of 5pm to 8pm. This service is only for our students and the library provides free printing, free internet and supper for the students. In the three weeks leading up to the HSC examina-tions the library will again repeat this service to support our students. - Great Lakes Acquatic & Leisure Centre, YMCA, are offering a 30 day free gym membership to each of our Year 12 students in the period leading up to the HSC examinations and lasting for the duration of the HSC ex-amination period. It means a lot to our students to know that our local community is behind them and is supporting their cause. It is a pleasure to thank both organisations on behalf of the our school community. Year 11 students will commence their Final Preliminary Examinations on Monday September 11 and we wish them well in these examinations. For most of this term we have experienced varying levels of difficulty with our phone system. We are finally able to advise that the entire system will be replaced on September 6 and 7. Our apologies to all parents and community members who have been inconvenienced by this issue and we thank you for your understanding during these trying times. On the sporting scene, Year 11 student Ellie Johnston returned to school at the start of August after repre-senting Australia in Indoor Netball for the U17s team, in South Africa. After returning to school, Ellie travelled to Melbourne where she competed for NSW. Not only was Ellie the captain of the Australian team, she has now been awarded the Players Player of the Series in the U18s and has been selected again for the Australia team for 2018. Congratulations Ellie.

Careers
With Term 3 wrapping up soon, our Year 12 stu-dents are in the process of making decisions about their post school options, whether that be applying for university, choosing a TAFE course, securing an apprenticeship or traineeship, looking at employ-ment options for 2018, or planning a meaningful gap year. Our Year 11 students are about to embark on their final Preliminary exams, and are looking ahead to Year 12. I’d like to remind all parents, caregivers and stu-dents of our school Careers Website. It’s a “One Stop Shop” for your child’s needs with their career planning, information, HSC, post school options and much more. They can also use it to create and save their resume. The site is also designed with you, the parent/caregiver in mind, to provide you with all the infor-mation you need about your child’s career planning and post school options – and the information is constantly changing in these areas. I encourage you to go to our school Careers website at www.greatlakescollegecareers.com and check out the resources available. Janelle Evans Senior Campus Careers Adviser.
MidCoast Libraries support
HSC students
Great Lakes College Senior Campus would like to thank MidCoast Libraries for their continued support for local HSC students. Recently the Senior Campus hosted a seminar Manipulate your Marker by guest speaker Mitchell Grotte. This event was sponsored by MidCoast Libraries and enabled Year 12 students to gain more insight into gaining extra marks in HSC English exams. Mitchell delivered a fast paced and engaging lecture which captivated attention right till the end. Feedback from students was overwhelmingly positive: “Mitchell’s lecture really helped me realise that I should not fear creative writing. His outline of the various structures of a creative story was insightful and has inspired me to write a unique story for my Trial exam and seek feedback”. Holly Hughes “The Manipulate Your Marker talk was an extremely helpful and very valuable conference that I will definitely use for my HSC and Trial exams. Also, it helped constructing responses for regular assess-ments.” Keely Johnson MidCoast Libraries also hosts “HSC Nights” where they open the doors for Year 12 students for one night a week leading into the Trial and HSC exams. Many students actively use this venue as it provides an excellent opportunity for them to form study groups and study in a quiet and motivating environ-ment. Thank you MidCoast Libraries!
