Homework Club

We’ve had a great turn out for our Homework Club on Wednesday nights. Students can get extra help with classwork, in a

relaxing environment.

When: Wednesday afternoon

Where: Churchill Campus Library

Time: 3:00 to 4:15pm

Food Provided

Halogen

Student leaders from Churchill Campus attended Halogen ( a Young Leaders’ Day) in Melbourne, to develop their leadership

skills. They were very fortunate to hear from a diverse range of inspiring journeys to success and loved the photo

opportunities afterwards! The main message of the day was that successful people learnt from their mistakes and that roads

to success were never simple or straight forward. The presenters included Olympian Liesel Jones, magician Cosentino and

actor Uli Latukefu (Jonah from Tonga). The students all came away from the experience feeling excited and ready to further

their leadership skills back at Kurnai.

Thank you to Rebecca Lynch for supporting our students at this event.

Theatre Performances

This week our Year 7 and 9 theatre classes performed their plays for families and friends. On Tuesday our Year 9 group

performed ‘Blackrock’ written by Nick Enright. Blackrock is an Australian play which explores the challenging and confronting

themes of what it means to be a man, how women are viewed in society and youth culture. The cast and crew delivered a

riveting performance and should be proud of their hard work and effort. The audience spoke highly of the play and were

impressed with the acting, lighting and sets.

Our Year 7 students wrote their own plays and by coincidence had all chosen the theme of ‘bullies’. The cast was able to

provide an authentic performance based on scenarios on which they were able to relate. Once again, the audience praised

the confidence and ability of our students.

Congratulations to Kline and the students on such a positive end to their hard work and effort over the semester.

LEAP Presentation

Last week Kurnai students were presented with a play from a program called Learn, Experience, Access Professions (LEAP).

The following is an account of the presentation as written by Gemma Whykes and Maegan Ruffin:

On the 9th November 2018, the Year 7’s gathered into the drama room for a play based on future careers. It was presented by a

group representing the website named LEAP Higher Education. The LEAP program aims to demystify the links between school, higher

education and professions. Whilst some presentations tend to be boring, making the presentation into a play made it more

interesting to learn about higher education. Singing and dancing were involved to make the play eye catching, as well as dressing up

like school kids aiming the play to a Year 7 audience made it an enjoyable experience. Being Year 7’s, we learnt that our professions

don’t have to be plain and boring, we can choose courses that interest us and that we are confident about.

Term 4 continues to progress at lightning speed as we approach the final few weeks of

Year 7. During the next few weeks, students will be making their final touches to

projects and completing their work in each of their subjects before beginning their

transition into Year 8 for Headstart. As a celebration of their achievements, students

and staff will partake in the Campus Celebration Day which involves each year level

participating in a day of planned activities as organised by their year level teachers.

This day will occur on Thursday 29th November and we are all very much looking

forward to celebrating what has been an extremely enjoyable year.

Learning Behaviour Reports

With the final Learning Behaviour Reports being completed for 2018, we would like to congratulate the following students on achieving a GPA score of 3.8 or higher. These students celebrated last week with a hot chip lunch and deserve to feel very proud of their efforts:

Since the last newsletter the Learning Behaviour Reports for October have been

published. These reports show how your child has been working in their classes over

the last five weeks. These reports give parents and guardians the opportunity to have

the conversation with their child about how they are working in class time. These

reports do not comment on a student’s academic ability, but instead the skills that are

also transferrable to the work place.

Congratulations to Claire Irving and Lance Townsend who achieved

a perfect score for the October Learning Behaviour Reports:

All-Star Award

Congratulations to the following students who achieved 3.5 or higher in their October Learning Behaviour report. The All-Star

Award is to acknowledge the effort and diligence that the students are showing in their classes.

Inspiring Young People Lunch

On Wednesday 14th November, 32 Year 8 students were invited to attend a lunch event at the Morwell R.S.L which provided

the opportunity for the students to link with a number of people from a variety of occupations. The lunch event gave the

students the opportunity to learn more about careers and educational pathways. Inspiring Young People was a great

opportunity for the Year 8 students to view positive role models in the community and to encourage them to start thinking

about their own career and pathway. Throughout the event students gained some insight and information about specific

careers and general information about career journeys.

October Learning Behaviour Report Celebration Lunch

The following Year 8 students, who achieved 3.8 or higher for the October Learning Behaviour Reports had their celebration lunch of hot chips and soft drink, on Thursday 7th October. The celebration lunch is an event which all students and staff look forward to as it provides another way of recognising the positive endeavours that individual students are undertaking to assist them with achieving great results.

Mobile Phones

Mobile phones are still an issue with some students not placing their

phones in the phone holders which are located in all classrooms.

Students are aware that if they bring their phone into the classroom

and do not place it in the phone holder the phone will be taken by the

teacher and returned at the end of the school day. The concern is that

some students are arguing with teachers about when a phone should

be returned. Parents and guardians could also assist us with the phone

process by reminding their child of these rules as well as refraining

from texting or calling students during class time. A reminder that a

phone is not to be used instead of a laptop or calculator.

Celebration Day

Permission forms for the Year 8 Celebration Day were distributed late last week to all Year 8 students.

Celebration Day is a time when the Year 8 students are able to enjoy a visit to the cinemas where they

will be able to see a movie of their choice. All Year 8 students will be invited to return their permission

forms, however, attendance at this event will be subject to students behaviours throughout the

remainder of Term 4. On Thursday 29th November the Year 8 students will have the opportunity to

watch a private screening of the movie ‘Ralph breaks the Internet’ before its general release to the

public. They will then walk to Gippsland Immigration Park for a BBQ lunch before returning to school at

2pm for an early dismissal.

Uniform Expectations

A small number of students are continuing to try and avoid wearing the school uniform. If

students arrive at school, out of uniform, without a note, they will be required to change into

school supplied uniform for the day. If your child is out of uniform, please provide a signed note,

which explains why your child is not wearing uniform on a particular day. When students are at

school or participating in school activities that take them out of the school grounds they are

expected to be in full uniform. This does not include non-school uniform jackets, beanies,

hoodies or tracksuit pants, however they can wear long sleeve navy or white tops (without hoods)

underneath their polo tops. Students are also reminded that they are required to wear shoes that

are predominately black. If you require any assistance with school uniform. Please don’t hesitate

to contact the school and speak to either a member of the Year 8 Team of the Wellbeing Team

members.

Student Laptops

As the term progresses a small number of students are not bringing their laptops to school.

Unfortunately when the students who do own a laptop do not bring their own device to school they

are required to borrow one from the library. Unfortunately, at times, there will not be a suitable

laptop to borrow which can mean that a student may not be able to continue with class work. Staff

in the Year 8 team will continue to support those students who may be experiencing difficulties with

their own device. If parents and guardians could support the school by checking that their child is

taking their laptop to school that would assist with trying to develop good organisational habits.

Lockers

As the end of Year 8 approaches students need to start to think about cleaning out their lockers. All lockers in the Year 8

locker bay will need to be emptied by Wednesday 28th November as this is the last teaching day for the Year 8 students. All

students will be asked to:

Empty their lockers

Make sure that they return all books to the library

Place rubbish in the green bins outside the locker bay

Wipe out their locker out inside and outside

PBS Coupons

Year 8 students are continuing to receive PBS coupons for displaying the appropriate

PBS behaviours expected for Kurnai students from the Four Pillars – Relationships,

Engagement, Excellence, or Work Ethic. Students are encouraged to exchange their

PBS coupons, in a timely manner, for a prize from the display cupboard, which is in the

Wellbeing Office. Each week, during Team Time, students are given the opportunity to

‘cash’ in their coupons. Students are also able to ‘cash’ in their coupon points during

recess, lunch and after school. The most popular item from the cupboard is, still,

chocolate.

At the end of week 6 the following are the top 5 students for Year 8.

Nelly Love

Lance Townsend

Tom Hoghton

Tamsyn Walker

Ethan Sultana

A reminder to all Year 8 students that when they receive a ticket that they need to write

their name on the ticket and then place it into the PBS box, which is located in the

Library.

Celebration Day – Thursday 29th November

Outdoor Education - Surf Camp: Bethany Blakeley

On Wednesday 7th November, 10 students from the Year 9 Outdoor Education class attended surf camp at Wilson’s Prom for 3 days. We had 3 lessons with our instructors Darby, Bones and Kelly. Most of us had done surf camp the previous semester so we got to do things we didn’t last time like learning how to turn.

The weather was very confusing and would go from hail to sunshine in a matter of seconds. We didn’t go hungry as our snack group went above and beyond and the other groups did okay.

Camping was great but there was lots of wombats. Overall good experience and would do it again.

Education Pathways

The Year 9 students that are to commence a VCE subject in Year 10 2019 attended the

Kurnai College University Campus on Wednesday 14th November for a transition session.

Students listened to a VCE overview, heard from a panel of current year 11s who discussed

their experiences and participated in a tour of the campus.

Common Assessment Tasks: CAT’s

Students will be busy over the next couple of weeks completing CAT’s for many of their classes. It is important that they are

coming to school during this time so that they have an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and knowledge that they have

been learning.

Team Time – Mock Interviews

Last week in Team Time students took part in Mock interviews to put into practice some of the things that they had been

learning about in this subject.

We were very grateful to the Interviewers who gave up their afternoon to be involved. The interviewers were members of the

wider school community and staff from the University and Churchill campuses.

Students were interviewed in pairs or groups of 3 and were assessed on a number of aspects throughout the experience.

Theatre Studies

The Year 9 Theatre Studies class put on a fantastic performance of BLACK ROCK, by Nick Enright this week.

We congratulate the students on the culmination of their efforts throughout the semester by bringing the story to life. Thank

you also to the parents and students that came to watch.

Attention ALL 2019 Year 11 and 12 students

Would you like to attend the Mt Hotham Camp in 2019?

Mt Hotham is a well-known ski resort approximately 4-5 hours drive from Churchill via Omeo. The main

activities undertaken on the camp will be downhill skiing and/or snowboarding.

The camp will run from Sunday 7th July to Friday 12th July, 2019. Students must be at the University

Campus bus stop at 10.00am on the Sunday. We intend to return to Kurnai College (University Campus)

at approximately 9.00pm on the Friday. Students will be staying at a Ski Lodge located at the top of the

mountain. The total cost of the camp will be approximately $1650.00 which includes:

Resort entries

Accommodation

All meals

Lift

Lessons

Night skiing on Wednesday evening

Ski/Snowboard Hire including carve skis, boots and poles or board and boots

Transport to and from Mount Hotham

Hotham hoodie jumper

Students will need to pay a deposit of $300 if they would like to secure a position for the camp by

1/12/2018. We have organised a payment plan in an effort to give families the opportunity to finalise the

full payment by 2.00pm on Friday 21st June, 2019. While we understand this is an expensive camp we

strongly believe that this is the most economical way of giving students the opportunity to participate in

Alpine Snow sports. All students who participate in this camp will come home exhausted and thoroughly

satisfied with their experiences, bubbling with stories of the thrills and spills they encountered.

In order for this camp to proceed, we require a minimum of 20 students to attend and will cap the attendance at 25 students. In the event of us not receiving enough interest, we will have to cancel this

camp and, in this instance only, your deposit will be refunded.

Students are expected to have a good behaviour history and an average or above average fitness level. Parents will be notified if their child is in danger of losing their invitation to camp due to poor behaviour at school. These decisions will be made by the Principal, in consultation with the advocate team and Camp Coordinator. Additional information will be provided to your child as time gets closer to ensure your child is properly

equipped for the camp. Their safety and comfort will depend on this. If students don ’t have the required

equipment they may be able to borrow a snow jacket and pants or alternatively this clothing can be hired from Mt Hotham.

Ambulance membership is highly recommended as a trip in an ambulance from Mt Hotham can cost

thousands of dollars if you are a non-member. We also recommend travel insurance for an additional

cost.

If you have any further queries, please contact Mrs Candy White, the Camp Coordinator at the University

Campus on 5132 3800.

The link below provides a video of students attending a camp to Mt Hotham. Please visit the below link

to gain more understanding of what adventures you will get up to if you decide to attend the Mt Hotham camp in 2019.

ble. Once you have the plan please ensure that the school is given this information as soon

as possible.

Totem Poles

On Tuesday 13th November, members of Kurnai College gathered to celebrate the un-

veiling of a series of Totem Poles created by local primary and high schools in Morwell

and Churchill. The totem poles told the Gunai Kurnai story of the Southern Cross and

Nerran the Moon by Lynette Solomon-Dent. Indigenous and Art students from all three of

Kurnai College Campuses shared and celebrated their totem poles which together, create

one of the Gunai Kurnai creation stories.

Thank you to The Smith Family for inviting Kurnai College to participate in this exciting

display. The Totem Poles can be seen around Lake Hyland, in Mathison Park, Churchill.
