We were fortunate to have Robbie Miller attend our virtual Whole School assembly on Friday July 17.
Robbie was scheduled to speak for the NAIDOC Week (which has now changed to later in the year) on the 2020 Theme: Always Was, Always Will Be. This year’s theme recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years.
Robbie leads and manages relationships and stakeholders for the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) Program in Brisbane schools.
A songwriter, music performer and music producer himself, Robbie also develops and facilitates leadership, public speaking, songwriting and music production workshops for youth. Robbie spoke about the NAIDOC theme and performed a great song for the whole school. We would like to thank Robbie for his thoughts he shared and performance on the day.

On 27 June we were delighted to receive a visit from the Queensland Premier, the Hon. Annastacia Palaszczuk, and Minister for Education and Industrial Relations, the Hon. Grace Grace, to look at the progress of our new Multi-Purpose Hall. The Premier and Minister toured the site and spoke with representatives of the building contractors completing the project, ADCO Constructions. Both Premier Palaszczuk and Minister Grace addressed the large group of Media representatives who were present. I also had the chance to say a few words and conveyed the appreciation of our school community that this impressive facility (which is anticipated to be available for student use towards the end of Term 1 next year) will enable whole school assemblies and celebrations as well as significantly enhanced sporting opportunities.
Next week we will begin hosting some on-site engagement events for both current and prospective students and parents. All such events will be conducted completely in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines and attendance will be possible only for those who submit RSVPs in advance to ensure numbers are strictly
controlled. Some activities include Indro Tours, Programs of Excellence Information Sessions and Subject Selection evenings. Where possible, these events will be recorded and made available to those who are unable to physically attend. I would especially like to draw to your attention to the Parent Wellbeing & Resilience Session being conducted on 29 July, details of which can be found on page 9.
You may have noticed the Drop and Go facility that has been
constructed in Carnarvon Road but is not yet available for use. Unfortunately the school is still negotiating with the responsible authority to review the current crossing places for our students in Carnarvon Road to ensure that they are not placed in increased danger consequent upon parents entering and exiting the Drop and Go area. We hope to have this matter resolved in the near future.
With respect to maximising student safety, I encourage you to read the letter I received from the Brisbane City Council that appears on the following page. You can access a link within that letter if you would like additional information.
Please also ensure that you do not drive your vehicle into school grounds to drop off or pick up your student. Staff entering the school to park do so before 8.00am and after students have left in the afternoon so that students are not unnecessarily endangered during times when the internal road is being used continuously by them. Should your student have a permanent or temporary physical mobility issue, you are invited to contact the school office to request a permit to assist your student’s access as appropriate.

10th July 2020
To the Principal Indooroopilly State High SchoolPO Box 61INDOOROOPILLY QLD 4068
To the Principal,
I am contacting you as part of Brisbane City Council’s commitment to pedestrian and child safety around schools. Since 2011, Council officers have been attending schools to promote safe parking and ensure that motorists are complying with local traffic conditions.
As you are aware, child safety and illegal parking around school zones remains a concern for parents, children, local residents and schools alike. Parking spaces during pick up and set down times are at a premium and subsequently, competition for these spaces can lead to poor driver behaviour and potentially dangerous parking practices.
While it is certainly not Council’s intention to make parking near schools an overly onerous task, regulating parking activities is necessary to promote safe driving during pick up and drop off times. Over the next school term, Council officers will be conducting patrols around your school to ensure safe parking. Parking fines may be issued in cases where illegal parking is observed.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask that you encourage parents, guardians and visitors of your school to visit Council’s website at www.brisbane.qld.gov.au and search parking rules to learn more about parking in Brisbane.
I would also like to thank you for your support in addressing this issue. If you wish to discuss the matter further, please contact Mr Nathan Kelso, Parking Supervisor, Compliance and Regulatory Services on 3403 8888.
Yours sincerely

"There were many things that I learnt from the Student Summit because it is a place where not only the teachers are talking, but the students have a chance as well to say their opinion. I learnt about all the diversities Indooroopilly State High School has, all the different clubs, why it is important to respect other people and much more … I thought it was brilliant and an awesome opportunity for students to share their ideas or opinions. Everything went well and it was really fun!"

Student Summit: Who is the Indooroopilly SHS Student?
Student Summits are a treasured termly event, wherein students are invited to share their perspectives on an important topic for Indooroopilly State High. In Student Summits, we work in consultation with students as part of our school’s Open communication to encourage a dialogue between teachers and students about the direction of the school.
Week 9’s Junior Student Summit was insightful in understanding our students’ perspectives on what makes an Indooroopilly State High student unique. We also considered how our school prepares them for the future, exploring Alumni profiles and considering how our academic goals, social connections and engagement in extra-curricular clubs and events play
a role in our futures. Students were engaged in the afternoons, as they thoughtfully identified examples of how Indooroopilly State High’s Student Life programs enrich their holistic education.
Students indicated that the weekly Connect lessons taught them how to pay attention to and improve their wellbeing; they also praised the way in which the diverse range of extra-curricular clubs that Indooroopilly State High offers caters to students’ interests. Students were reflective in their responses as they engaged in a range of collaborative activities, considering how we live our vision and values within and beyond the school.
The event culminated in a Quick Write where students constructed drafts of
individual Student Statements; they then co-wrote Student Statement drafts in pairs.
Students’ input into the Junior Summit as well as the Senior Summit, held in Week 10 of Term 2, will result in working drafts of Junior Student, Senior Student and Graduate statements.
Attendees will be invited to provide feedback on these draft statements this term.
I’d like to take this opportunity to once again thank these students for their invaluable participation in these Summits.

Hello there! In the weeks we have been back at school, our teachers have done an exceptional job helping us adjust and ease back into our school routine. Our teachers have also done an amazing job helping to finalise our assignments.
We’ve hopefully learnt how important and helpful the face-to-face class time is and that we should make the most of it and work our hardest.
Last term we had the pleasure of joining our fellow Junior Secondary students at our termly Student Summit - a chance to discuss with our peers our strengths, potential, weaknesses, and to give constructive feedback to achieve positive change in our school community. This term we identified "Who is the Indro student?" by taking a look at our school values and how they will positively shape students, through their time here, into someone who can support the school and be the future.
We were asked to establish aspects and strengths of the Indro student, and find thriving examples of them in everyday student life, such as our ability to choose a wide array of electives from a young grade, respect when it comes to our dress standards, Deaf/HOH and Guidance Support areas.

Indooroopilly State High School Year 9 student Zoe Tempany has won a national short story competition for a sci-fi adventure she wrote during COVID-19 lockdown last term. The Outside, Zoe’s assessment piece for a speculative fiction short story unit in English, was the Australian winner of the Education Perfect-Story Factory Short Story Competition. The protagonist of her story is Alice, a girl with supernatural abilities who has grown up in a secret indoor society of superhumans, oblivious to any life beyond her civilisation. Zoe’s prize was a mentoring session with short story competition judge Richard Short and Education Perfect English staff Erini Limnatites (Head of English, Australia), James Bowens (Global Head of English).

Mackenzie competes in worldwide challenge onlineYear 7 student Mackenzie Guyatt joined an Australian team chosen last year from Indooroopilly State School to compete in the finals for the Future Problem Solving Program International (FPSPI).
The team was selected at the 2019 Australian FPSPI finals, and were coached by Indooroopilly State School teacher Louise Kliese. With the international finals unable to take place in Boston this year as scheduled because of COVID-19, students and teams from around the world competed via video link throughout June.
As a reserve for the Australian team, Mackenzie joined a team of four including an Australian teammate, and students from New Zealand and Alaska to compete in the FPSI “MAGIC” competition, with the team finishing second overall in their age category.
“The Future Problem Solving competition is great fun,” said Mackenzie said. “We get to find solutions to big future challenges. I really liked working with the students from New Zealand, Alaska and Australia and we were excited to finish second.”
Mackenzie competed in the 2019 Future Problem Solving Program International Finals via video link throughout June.

Students in Year 9 Spanish Immersion have been tapping into their inner child to create engaging and creative letters written in Spanish, addressed to … crayons! As part of our study of a Spanish novel this term we have been analysing tone, audience and purpose in texts of varying style and complexity, and working to identify and emulate the ‘feel’ of the texts we read. As a creative challenge, students were tasked with reading a Spanish version of a popular and humorous children’s book, where crayons are alive and have voices, feelings and, curiously, idiosyncratic personal challenges (a dispute over whether the sun should be coloured yellow or orange is the cause of serious tension amongst the warm colours, for example). These living crayons communicate their struggles to their owner, Duncan, in the form of personalised letters seeking assistance. Students had the challenge of responding as Duncan to help soothe the troubled crayons. This task required students to balance a sophisticated use of language and a depth of creativity. They certainly rose to the challenge, with a veritable rainbow of response letters presented in class. Students nominated their favourite letters, with Eleanor, Jordyn and Grace impressing with their creativity and flair.

Student reflection“Throughout this term we have been studying the novel El Reino del Dragon de Oro in Spanish by the author Isabel Allende, and exploring the different character relationships. Recently, we read the entertaining children’s book El día que los crayones renunciaron (The day the crayons quit) and were challenged to write a letter responding to one of the issues presented by the Crayons. This improved our Spanish comprehension levels and allowed us to understand how to write with sophisticated language whilst still matching Duncan’s childish tone.”
Jordyn Year 9 Spanish Immersion student
“This activity was both fun and challenging as we had to read the picture book The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt in Spanish and then understand the relationships between the character Duncan and his crayons. We then had to use a complex Spanish vocabulary to match the tone of Duncan (the main character and a young child) and use creative problem solving to resolve the issues that the other characters (crayons) have in the novel in the form of a letter. This helped to practise our written Spanish while also letting us flex our creative muscles!”

Year 7 students have recently completed their Geography unit, Place and Liveability. They completed a survey to assess the liveability of Indooroopilly from a young person’s perspective and created a vibrant poster to reflect the results. Additionally, each student wrote a proposal to improve the liveability of the suburb and some of their suggestions included: more designated bike lanes, changing streets around the school to only one-way to improve pedestrian safety, more street art in public spaces, increased street lighting and security cameras around the train station and more zebra crossings to improve student safety when travelling to school. Teachers were very impressed with their efforts and ideas, and look forward to displaying the posters in classrooms. Year 7 students have now completed their semester study of Geography and will begin studying History in Semester two, starting with a unit on Ancient Egypt.

Difficulty returning to school Welcome to Term 3, students and parents! This year has been unlike any other that we have faced previously and while many students are keen to be back in the classroom, this period of upheaval and change has brought a range of new emotions with it. If your student is finding it difficult to return to school, please see the 12 tips below to support your child's return to secondary school.
1. Stay connected Let your child talk about how they are feeling. Guide the conversation to what they will enjoy about being back at school.
2. Talk about their friends Friends mean everything to most young people so remind your child that returning to school means reconnecting with their mates. A quick phone or text ahead of time to close friends might help them reconnect.
3. Speak to their teachers You don’t have to do this alone. Our teachers can help make the transition
as smooth as possible.
4. Identify learning gaps If you know your child has struggled with some of their school work at home – let their teacher/s know so they can work with them at school.
5. Get organised Help your child organise their schoolbooks and equipment so they have what they need for class.
6. Be positive Focus on what your child enjoys about being at school such as having lunch with their friends or the fun of learning in a group.
7. Re-establish a routine Let your child come up with a plan for their morning routine and encourage them to write it down so you can talk about it together.
8. Encourage sleep and exercise Make sure your child gets enough sleep and exercise to help them feel calm and relaxed about their return to school.
9. Be reassuring Remind them that they are not the only one returning to school and that their friends will be there to share the experience with them.
10. Mark the transition Do something fun together, have a family movie night or bake some treats for your child to take for lunch.
11. Make a deal Talk about how every day at school counts and encourage your child to return to school. Also agree what you will do to support them and recognise their effort.
12. Ask for help We can answer any questions you have so give us a call and have a chat.

Advice from the Guidance Team
Teenagers are asked the above question so frequently that not knowing what they want to for “the rest of their lives” can become a point of undue stress and anxiety. The truth is, teenagers should not feel pressured to select the perfect career at the end of high school. Research shows that today’s young people will have, on average, 17 different jobs over five distinct careers throughout their working life.
Young people, ask your parents or grandparents how many jobs and different careers they’ve had. If you’re a parent, reflect on your own experience.
More than likely, your parents and grandparents will have had only a
handful of jobs over one, maybe two careers. We all need to recognise that work for young people is going to be very different than it has ever been for past generations.
If your child is concerned about making the right choice for their future, here are some tips to help alleviate some of the stress:
1. Remind them that they only need to focus on choosing something that feels ‘right’ right now – training for one specific job provides you with the skillset to complete 13 other roles, on average
2. Ask them to consider what they enjoy doing – this should be where they spend most of their time as
research proves we’re more likely to succeed at something if we enjoy it
3. Ask them to consider what type of lifestyle appeals to them – do they want to work indoors? Outdoors? Frequently communicating or working by themselves?
4. Ask them to consider if they want to complete further study – do they want to go to TAFE, university or engage in another form of learning?
If these strategies don’t work, then please get in touch with your Guidance Officer who can offer some more targeted support.

Dental Health Week (DHW) is the Australian Dental Association’s (ADA)’s major annual oral health campaign. It takes place each year in the first full week of August and this year DHW will be August 3 – 9.
The ADA and this campaign aim to educate Australians about the importance of maintaining good oral health by promoting four key messages:
• Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
• Clean between your teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet and limit sugar intake.
• Visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and preventive care.
The focus of this year’s campaign is on the harm sugar does to oral health, aiming to help Australians
to ‘get sugar savvy’. The campaign includes recommended daily sugar consumption levels, advice on reading food labels, and spells out the effect sugar has on our teeth. This information is reinforced with three main sugar messages:
• Consume no more than 6 teaspoons (24 grams) of free sugar per day as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
• Choose foods with less than 10 grams of sugar per 100 grams.
• Look out for hidden sugars when purchasing foods and drinks.
• Visit the dentist
Prevention is better than a cure. It’s best to visit your dentist regularly to protect your teeth and stay on top of issues as they arise rather than treat the diseases once they have advanced. Aim to see your dentist at least every
12 months. Alternatively, your dentist will advise you of a recall period that is suited to you and your oral health needs.
If you do not have a regular dentist, find one in your local area by using the ADA’s Find A Dentist website.

What is the IB Programme?The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepares students, generally aged 16 to 19, for success at university and life beyond. The programme is normally taught over two years and has gained recognition and respect from the world’s leading universities.
Mission StatementThe International Baccalaureate Organisation aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the IBO encourages students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

Aviation is a subject for students who are looking forward to either a career in aviation or flying for pleasure.
Students are able to enrol in Aviation in Years 10, 11 and 12. Students go to a flying school at Archerfield Airport each week during the year. Initially students aim to perform their first solo flight, and must be 15 years of age to do so.
Students work towards a Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL) and, after successfully completing navigation flights, gain a Private Pilot Licence. Students will be required to pay their chosen flying school each week for their lesson. This is a pay-as-you-go arrangement with the hire rate of an aircraft and instructor plus landing fees and briefing. It is a significant expense, details of which are available from each flying school.
The theory, comprising Flight Radio Operator’s Licence (FROL), Basis Aeronautical Knowledge (BAK) and Private Pilot Licence Theory (PPL) is
studied during Wednesday briefings and at home.
Topics include aircraft familiarisation, aviation terminology, Communications, aircraft general knowledge and control, rules and procedures of flight, theory of flight, meteorology and navigation. Students also have the ability to practise flights in the school’s flight simulator.
It is preferable for students to complete the aviation medical and apply for an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC) and student pilot licence before commencing flight training, as the first solo flight is not permitted until the documentation has been processed by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
For more information contact Matt Reid, Head of Department – Business, Industry & Innovation, [email protected]
The Networking Academy Program is a two-year course offered by Indooroopilly State High School in conjunction with Cisco Systems, a world leading manufacturer of networking equipment.
