Principal Team ReportAs the semester moves toward its finish, students and of course staff are working hard on final assessments. The year 10 and 11 students have completed formal exams in each of their subjects. On June 14th all Year 12 VCE students and a large number of year 11 students, studying unit 3-4 subjects, completed the General Achievement Test (GAT). The GAT is a general assessment that supports assessment validation at the VCE level. All students at other levels will also have a range of assessments leading up the compilation of semester reports.

END OF SEMESTER REPORTSStaff are now completing these reports which will be published to students and parents on Sentral on the last Thursday or Friday of the school term. Please take the time to read through these reports with your child. Discussing reports with students and spending time reflecting on strengths and areas for improvement will assist students to set learning goals for the remainder of the year.

YEAR 11 INTERSTATE TOURSixty-four of our Year 11s will depart on the annual Central Australia tour for the last week of term and the first week of the holidays. I wish them a safe trip and I’m sure they will have a valuable experience. As the majority of our Year 11 students will remain at school we will run Year 11 classes during the last week of term. Please make sure your child attends their classes and makes the most of this time.

YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE Good luck to all Year 10 students attending a Work Experience placement. As I have been signing the many placement forms, I have been amazed by the variety of workplaces students are accessing. Work Experience will give students some insight into the expectations of the workplace and assist them in deciding on future pathways. Please make the most of this opportunity.

GIPPSLAND CROSS COUNTRY 2017Our team of 30 students participated in the Gippsland Cross Country on Thursday 15th June at Lardner Park. All students competed really well with some excellent results in beautiful running conditions. Eight of our students have now qualified for the State finals on the 20th July, which is a great effort.

Congratulations to:

• Harry Phillips and Fletcher Robertson-Edgar who both won gold medals in their age group events.

• Other top finishes who now go to the State finals - Nick Caddy 4th, Riley Feil 6th, Jess Mills 11th and Josh McNally 4th, who also won gold as a member of the Senior boys team with Bailey Quaife, Jacob Silcock and Garry Hallam.

• Other medal winners - Henry Wallace, Trent Fritzlaff and Riley Griffin along with Nick Caddy who gained silver medals in the 12-13 year age group.

• Chelsee Anderson, Jess Mills, Tanika Moore, Rani Grenville and Jess Murphy who also won a silver medal in the Senior Girls age group.

• Also, many thanks to our Year 11 VCAL classes who acted as officials all day along with some of our Year 8 Leo’s. We are proud of the way these students conducted themselves, representing our College in the best possible way.

WELL DONE TO:Year 11 and 12 Theatre Studies students who performed their Ensemble performance “The 39 Steps” to a very appreciative audience of family and friends on Thursday 8th June.

The 39 StepsThe 39 Steps production by VCE Theatre Studies was on Thursday 8th June in the DSC Auditorium and was a brilliant success. Congratulations to all involved. Thanks to all the teachers, family and friends who came along and supported our very talented VCE Theatre students.

VCE Legal StudiesOn 13th June, the Year 11 and Year 12 Legal Studies classes went on an excursion to the Victorian County Court and the Victorian Supreme Court. The group split into classes when arriving in Melbourne and went to separate courts, and then swapped after lunch. The classes heard a criminal case in each court: a case about obtaining property by deception in the County Court, and a murder case in the Supreme Court. The day was very informative and worthwhile for all.

Supreme Court of Victoria The Supreme Court is the highest court in Victoria. It was established by an Act of Parliament in 1852, just a few months after the Colony of Victoria was proclaimed. It comprises the Trial Division and Court of Appeal.

The Trial Division of the Supreme Court hears serious criminal charges, such as murder and treason, and large civil disputes. In civil cases, a party (an individual or organisation) takes action against another that they believe has infringed their legal rights. In the Supreme Court, civil matters are heard in the Commercial Court and in the Common Law Division.The Court of Appeal is the appellate division of the Supreme Court. It hears appeals from criminal and civil cases originally heard in the Trial Division of the Supreme Court, the County Court and Victorian tribunals.

210 William Street

The Supreme Court has occupied its current home at 210 William Street since 1884. The heritage-listed building is a fine example of the classical Renaissance Revival style on a grand and imposing scale, and is significant as the largest single-design network of court buildings in Australia.

The design of the building has controversial origins. The winner of the competition held to determine the building’s design, AL Smith, was revealed to have a close professional relationship with one of its assessors, AE Johnson. Smith’s design, on review by the Inspector General of Public Works, was nonetheless upheld as the best of the entries on purely architectural grounds, and formed the basis of the existing building.

Constructed of brick on Malmsbury bluestone footings and faced with Tasmanian freestone, the William Street exterior of the building features an elaborate double arcade of Ionic and Composite columns.

Above the William Street entrance to the court is seated the bronze figure of Justice, about twice life size. It is an unusual representation of Justice as the figure is not blindfolded and the scales of justice are not held aloft, but rest on her knee. The whole complex, including the Supreme Court Library, is on the Victorian Heritage Register. This recognises that the buildings are of special cultural-heritage significance to the State of Victoria and are legally protected to help ensure they survive for future generations.

Gippsland CHESS TOURNAMENTOn Wednesday 3rd of May, twenty students participated in the Gippsland Chess Tournament hosted by Warragul Regional College. Our team consisted mostly of ‘rookie players’, all of whom were nervous at the prospect of playing tournament chess for the first time. These players were unranked, however gained an interschool chess ranking after participating.

The tournament program was set with 64 players in the Middle Division. Each student played 7 games with their ranking changing each round depending upon the outcome of each game. Scott Baker, Jayden Brooks, Bailey Osseweyer, Jordan Deszcz, Gokul Nair, Deklan McLachlan and our chess captain Ethan Swan, started well winning their first game.

Zarkara Smith was the first girl to get a score on the board in Round 2. Sine Salt took her time and found her chess ‘mojo’ during Round 3 and managed to win her next 2 games. Bree Gavory struggled earlier on, but after a draw in Round 3, her confidence improved and she took some risks which payed off in Round 7 for a win.

Bailey Osseweyer and Jordan Deszcz started really strongly winning their first two games. Their confidence was soaring, however so was their ranking. This meant by Round 3, they were against seasoned players and they were ‘smashed’ in the next few rounds. Fortunately, Bailey managed a draw and finished the tournament on a win!

Tylar Austin, Cam Janssan, Austin Green, Will Winters, Jacob Fankhauser, Connor Douglass, Jake Achilles, Lachlan Campbell and Ben Carter all managed to win games throughout the day. For some of the players, it was a relief to finally get a win on the board, however to others their wins came as a complete surprise!

Our two most successful players were Deklan McLachlan and Ethan Swan. They both played consistently and never gave up. Their determination was demonstrated by their steely resolve as they fought long battles to capture their opponent’s King. They maintained their focus, used various strategies to weaken their opponents, and were tenacious, which irritated and rattled those opponents. Well done boys!

The overall game wins for our Chess tournament team are as follows:

It is great to have so many students participating in this challenging activity. Chess Club meets every Thursday lunchtime. By attending regularly, students can improve their skills and, hopefully, increase their ranking in the next tournament.

The next tournament on the Chess Calendar is the Casey Tournament on Tuesday 27th June, being hosted by Nossal High School in Berwick.

Book of the Month“Eve & Adam” Michael Grant

Sixteen-year-old Evening Spiker lives an affluent life in San Francisco with her mother, Emma-Rose, a successful geneticist and owner of Spiker Biotech. Sure, Evening misses her father who died mysteriously, but she’s never really questioned it. Much like how she’s never stopped to think how off it is that she’s never been sick. That is, until she’s struck by a car and is exposed to extensive injuries. Injuries that seem to be healing faster than physically possible.

While recuperating in Spiker Biotech’s lush facilities, she meets Solo Plissken, a very attractive, if off-putting boy her age who spent his life at Spiker Biotech. Like Evening, he’s never questioned anything... until now. Solo drops hints to Evening that something isn’t right, and Emma-Rose may be behind it. Evening puts this out of her mind and begins her summer internship project: To simulate the creation of the perfect boy. With the help of Solo, Evening uncovers secrets so big they could change the world completely.

This science fiction novel is fantastic for both genders, the dialogue between characters keeps you turning the pages to see what will be said next and the storyline has you wondering what is ACTUALLY going on at Spiker Biotech. It has to be read to be believed! Come in and borrow it today!

Untitled (Work in Progress)I have always been someone who loves magic. There are so many things that you can do with magic, you can make a bunch of flowers appear when you forgot it was mother’s day. And I forgot the rest. I know I am someone who forgets a lot but this is a story about my adventure I had three years ago. Where I was only a high school student … or was it when I just graduated? No, it was when I was in high school three years ago where I had an adventure & met a girl that I thought was amazing. What was her name? Zoe? No, Margret? No, ah it was Annie. Anyway, this is a book about something “I did” that “never happened”.

Matthew Gade

Destined to DieI needed to lead.

I took charge, I picked him up and ran, he tried to speak but his wound was too much and he crumpled. The fence was getting closer, there was a guard behind us, screaming and yelling. The man in my arms pointed to where the fence and ground connected, I saw it, a hole.

I knelt down and pushed him through first, when he was through I followed but I didn't get very far. I was yanked back by the legs, the guard had caught up to us.

“Keep going!” I whispered to the man, I knew what would happen to us, I'd be killed and he would be too if he didn't hurry. The man didn't move though, he just stared.

“Shut up!” the guard yelled when I started screaming my lungs out, my jaw went slack as his fist connected to my face over and over again. Tears streamed down my face, my vision was full of black dots. The punches stopped, I looked past the dots and was surprised to see the guard on the ground.

The man had come back through the hole and saved me. I'd have to thank him later though, because the dots were back, more angry and persistent than before, they pushed me deep into my own mind and I fell unconscious.

The latest news from 8HOLThe 8HOL team had their final session of fitness and self-defence with Kael Coster at the Coster MMA in Latrobe Street Warragul. The team were put through a vigorous session that included a test of the self-defence skills they had learned. A huge thank you to Kael for providing such an energetic and rewarding experience for our team. Feedback received from the group included: ‘great for my self-confidence,’ ‘I feel fitter and stronger now,’ and ‘I want to do more sessions with Kael.’

Prior to the session with Kael, our team spent some quality time together at YFC in Warragul. The session included team games, a guest speaker presentation from ‘Notty’ and a healthy lunch. Notty spoke about his career as a carpenter and building his own family home. He spoke about how he moved from carpentry to YFC and the passion he has for helping young people. Notty emphasised the importance of establishing good relationships with people and making the most of our individual skills. The lunch emphasised how easy it can be to eat ‘cheap’ but healthy and it was delicious!

At school, the team are keeping a watchful eye on their vegetable garden and keeping the water up to the growing veggies.




Victoria Electricity Education & Training Program (VEET)Earlier this term, four of our students were inducted into the VEET program. VEET is an acronym for Victoria Electricity Education and Training Program. Students must undergo a selection process before being accepted to participate in this program. Drouin Secondary College were lucky enough to have four students accepted into the program this year.

Abbey Evans, Riley Szulc, Caiden Deppeler and Mitchell Young were all presented with their work gear and helmets as they were welcomed into the program. The students’ parents as well as careers advisors Jaydyn King and Jenn Rolls were lucky enough to be able to attend the night.

The merits of the program were further reinforced by the presence of a past DSC student, Peter Edwards. Peter was accepted into the very same program several years ago and he now works within this industry and as an advocate for VEET.

Peter spoke directly to all of the students from each school about his journey and how much he enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to have been part of it.

We wish each of these students the best and look forward to hearing about their experience.


Year 12 VCAL cooking for those in need!The beginning of June saw our fantastic VCAL students trek down to Abbotsford in Melbourne to spend the day preparing meals at FareShare. FareShare rescues surplus food and cooks free, nutritious meals for Victorians doing it tough. With the help of 800 regular volunteers, FareShare cooks this food into 25,000 free nutritious meals a week for Victorian charities – such as soup vans, homeless shelters, food banks and school breakfast programs. They do this in Australia’s largest charity kitchen, based in Abbotsford.

Students produced over 2,800 meals over the two days as well as packaging up another 5,760 ready to go out to charity groups across Victoria. The FareShare Schools in the Kitchen program provides a unique opportunity for students to learn about the reality of hunger in our community and begin their own response to the issue through action. Students also learn about food waste and rescue. They may even have picked up some cooking skills — all of this while making a difference in the community.

FareShare CEO, Marcus Godinho, says FareShare sees 100 schools come through the kitchen each year with each school making a tangible difference to food security issues in Melbourne. “Through Schools in the Kitchen, FareShare aims to set a benchmark for e-learning whilst capturing useful lessons for young people on social justice engagement and volunteer programs.”

The FareShare Schools in the Kitchen sessions run on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings during the School term.

Outdoor Ed at Wilsons PromOn Wednesday the 24th of May 2017, roughly 30 students and 3 teachers travelled down to Wilsons Promontory National Park leaving at approximately 6pm from school. We took 2 buses and stopped at Leongatha for dinner. On the first night we were all hyped and so excited but it was dark when we arrived. So setting up the tents was a bit of a challenge as we were doing it by torchlight. During the night it was cold, wet and very windy and most people were awake during some hour of the night.

On the first day of being at the Prom, it was a struggle getting up and out of bed because it was so cold and we were all so tired. After breakfast, we all got ready to go on our 7 hour hike. We arrived at the start of our journey by bus and started our hike around 9am.

During the hike, we all struggled to walk down the tracks, trying not to lose balance and fall over. We did stop at a beautiful stream where we filled up our water bottles with fresh water and could have something to eat. We continued our hike until we reached Squeaky Beach where we stopped for lunch and could use the drop toilet (which was very clean by the way).

On our way back, we were all very tired and majority of the group had sticks to help them walk up the steep tracks.

When we arrived back to camp, we all relaxed and bonded as a group by kicking the footy, cooking dinner together, walking around our camp site. We realised that we shouldn’t leave food in our tents - wombats had gotten into some people’s tents and left their droppings behind, making the night less enjoyable.

By sunset, it was cold and dark so we decided to take a walk along the beach where Mr. Axford gave us some history on the lighthouse and the area. It was a very calming and lovely experience.

On day 2, we decided not to go on another hike because we were all tired and had blisters on our feet. So we all packed up our tents and decided to walk around the area we camped at and Miss Brauman gave us some interesting history of our surroundings. After our walk, we bought our own lunch at the café there and got back on the buses and headed back to school.

Overall, the trip was sensational and an experience to remember and treasure forever.



DUKE OF ED: Final Adventure JourneyThe final camp for the Dukes set off to Blores Hill Caravan Park near Heyfield for 3 days of mountain bike riding and fun. Over the past six months the team has been working towards the key goals of leadership, teamwork and community service. These three days allowed for all of this and more. From the start students were given the reins to take control of the camp, organising camp set up, food preparation and delegation, leading and navigating activities and of course cleaning up.

The students certainly showed they had the skills and initiative to complete the challenge. With perfect weather, although cold nights, students enjoyed many sessions riding the fantastic mountain biking tracks through Blores Hill. It was wonderful to see the improvement in bike handling skills from camp 1 to 2 and the close team relationship that had also grown. Using the 24 character strengths and discussing prevalent issues such as mental illness, wellbeing and positive mindset, there was certainly great scope and depth in learning.

On the final morning, the students attended the Heyfield Wetlands and completed 2 hours of community service, helping revegetate the area planting trees, pulling off old tree guards and carting rocks to build a creek crossing. It was a wonderful and fitting end to 6 months of positive teamwork and community spirit. A special thanks goes out to Ben Stein for assisting and the Rubicon Team who made this adventure a reality. Well done Drouin Dukes!

Coastal Ambassador CampSix lucky students from Year 9 attended the Coastal Ambassadors Camp run by Phillip Island Nature Park. The successful applicants were Xavier Sweatman, Sam Pratt, Jacob Opie, Kiarna Craig, Ruby Kelly and Danielle Case. These students needed to research and design a project related to the environment to be implemented in their school. The students have come up with a design for a recycling system in the yard that will be rolled out over term 3. Here’s what they had to say about their experiences:

The Costal Ambassador Camp, an experience for environmental enthusiasts like myself and an opportunity of a lifetime. ‘Branching out’ of my comfort zone, I accomplished assigned activities. Well maybe not completely accomplished!

First day, new people and new experiences. Working in groups, we gave back to the mini marine creatures, making nesting boxes for the penguins. That night, we got up close and personal on the ‘dawdlers mission’, engaging with the penguins making it to shore. A fascinating experience I would recommend to anyone.

There are many things I love about the ocean, however surfing not so much. This is where the ‘well maybe not completely accomplished’ aspect comes in. It was an enjoyable experience, but definitely one of the most challenging too. Nonetheless, I got back on the board and enjoyed my time in the water. After this, we got our gardening gloves on and weeded the ‘New Zealand spinach”. Due to the thick weeds, it makes it hard for the penguins to burrow. So we put out our helping hand to make life a bit easier for the ‘little ones’. We ended the day by making action plans. In the progress of our action plans, two guest speakers came in. One talked about the seals breeding and environmental risks. The other talked about penguins and their diets and breeding seasons.

Oceans were rocky, as shown by Tyler, who didn’t look like he was really enjoying the seal rock cruise that day! The shores and rocks were surrounded by seals. They got close to the boat, almost a hands reach. In the afternoon, we had a break, stopping over at Cowes. That night, we all sat outside and enjoyed the ocean breeze.

Bonds were defined and experiences came to an end. We got to see the crustaceans and sea stars at the rock pools. Later, we further worked on our action plans, ready for our presentations that afternoon.

I want to thank the staff members for making this experience possible. They are very enthusiastic about what they do and have inspired me more to make my dream job possible, marine biologist.

Phillip Island Nature Parks Coastal Ambassadors Camp was held on the 14th to the 16th of May. Being chosen to attend the Coastal Ambassadors Camp is something that we will have with us forever. We not only learnt about native animals and the environment that they live in, but we formed new friendships and developed our life skills. We had talks from some amazing people working in research developing the knowledge of animals living on and around Phillip Island. We had so much fun; surfing, seeing the penguin parade, visiting seal rock and building penguin boxes. If you ever get the opportunity to attend this camp, we all would highly recommend you go for it because it is an amazing opportunity to meet new people and make friendships that will last forever.

Describing this camp in one word would have to be: “Yeet”

SENIOR NETBALLThe senior girls netball teams had a great day out on Thursday 8th June. The A team had three games against Warragul Regional College, Chairo Christian College & Marist-Sion College. They walked away with three wins. The toughest game of the day was the last one against Marist. The girls worked on driving the ball hard down the court, making the most of any turnovers and applying pressure down the court. It was a real team effort.

The B team had one game for the day against Marist and it was a marathon effort. 4 x 15 minute quarters found the need for lots of changes – but unfortunately it didn’t mean a victory. However, the girls kept their heads up and worked on scoring off our centre passes. Some interesting football moves kept the crowd cheering and some great strides.

The A team players (RIGHT) were Lateisha Edwards, Chelsea De Riter, Taylah Marsh-Irwin, Georgia Henderson, Darcie Hower, Emily Robb, Jemyma Lieshout, Cheyenne Mason & Ruby Pratt

The B team (BELOW) included Rani Grenville, Karly Jans, Chelsee Anderson, Jess Mills, Casey Bradbury, Taylah Stephens, Louise Allen, Daisy Hastings, Jemima Shearer, Tahlia Gregg & Alyssa Fritzlaff


CAREERS & PATHWAYS NEWS...2018 Course SelectionTerm 3 sees the Course Selection Process for 2018 beginning.

2017 Open Days at Universities and other further education providersIt is very important for students to attend Open Days if they are considering continuing their education in the tertiary sector. It is an excellent opportunity to explore what different universities/TAFEs can offer, what individual campuses are like and to ask questions about the courses which are available and explore pathways into courses of interest.

Year 10 and 11 students can have in-depth discussions with people in the faculties in which they are particularly interested. A visit can assist a Year 12 student to decide which course they wish to pursue and provide opportunities to ask specific questions related to their university application / pathways / accommodation options etc for 2018. Refer to the attached list for dates.

Careers & Pathways ActivitiesYear 7 students will begin in Term 3 to explore subject choices available for them in Year 8 in 2018.

Year 8 students have begun their Career Plan. This will be built upon throughout their years at DSC to assist them, their families and DSC Careers & Pathways staff in ensuring that their interests, skills and abilities are considered when exploring possible employment and career options in the future. Each student’s Career Plan is available on the Drouin SC Careers website.

Year 9 students will work with representatives from Federation University in Gippsland in a session titled “Focus on their Future” during LG. Topics covered will include qualifications required for different career pathways, what is a ‘pre-requisite’, what university is like and highlight some of the key differences between that and secondary school. They are also going to the Jobskills Expo at Lardner Park on Tuesday 1st August, periods 1 & 2. Permission forms were distributed in LG on Monday 19th June and are required to be returned by the end of term. The excursion is compulsory for all students; there is no cost. Both of these activities will assist students to make informed subject choices for Year 10 in 2018.

Year 10 students are visiting Federation University in Churchill on August 3rd. This is a compulsory, all-day excursion. Permission forms were distributed three weeks ago and are to be returned to the Office by the end of term. All Year 10 students (approximately 170) are undertaking one

week of Work Experience at the end of this term. We sincerely thank all of the employers who ensure that this program is a successful one year after year.

Year 11 VCE students completed an interactive session with Federation University representatives in the form of the “Uniquest” Game. Students competed in teams to answer questions on topics such as VTAC, SEAS, Money, Uni Life, Surviving VCE and more. All VCE and VCAL students were given the opportunity to attend the Careers Expo at Caulfield in May. Many made the most of the opportunity to find out more about employment and training and future career options.

Year 11 VCAL students will assist in the operation of the Jobskills Expo for Year 9 students at Larder Park on August 1st.

Year 12 VCE students have been learning about what will be involved in making a university application for 2018. Much more time will be spent on this during Term 3. Recently, all VCE students have been required to have a short interview with one of the Careers and Pathways advisors to discuss their future plans. Federation University representatives will run two information sessions with the students in August covering topics such as applying to uni through VTAC, information about scholarships, how to apply for SEAS, and extra requirements that students may face (accommodation applications, folio interviews, auditions etc.)

Year 12 VCAL students will also be discussing their 2018 plans with a Careers & Pathways Advisor in the near future to ensure that we can provide them with as much assistance as possible to meet their goals.

Seventy VCAL & VCE Year 12 students will complete their RSA (Responsible Serving of Alcohol) training at the College in the next few weeks. This is offered so that students already have their certificate if and when they are seeking employment (full or part time) in the hospitality industry.

VTAC INFORMATION NIGHTAll Year 12 VCE students and their parents/guardians are encouraged to attend the VTAC (Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre) briefing at St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School at the Year 9 Centre in Sutton St in Warragul on Wednesday 19th July from 6.00- 7.30pm. The briefing will explain the VTAC application process and is well worth attending. DSC staff will also be present.


VTAC Information Evening 6pm, Wednesday 19 July 2017

Year 9 Centre St Paul's Anglican Grammar School Sutton St, Warragul (next to the golf club)

Find out from VTAC representatives how to apply for tertiary courses, scholarships and special consideration. There will also be information about the ATAR, scaling and offers. This presentation will be most useful for Year 12 students and their parents; Year 9-11 students and their parents are also welcome.

COURSE INFORMATION EVENING

We have a temporary position vacant for a bus interchange supervisor at Porter Place Drouin. The position is for 45 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes in the afternoon Monday to Friday and will commence in Semester 2, 2017. The successful applicant will have a current Employee Working With Children’s Check. Please send your cover letter and resume to the email address below.

The role of the College Council is very important to the running of our College. It is the key policy making body and establishes the direction for the College. All great schools have a committed and strong council with full parent representation.

One of the six parent representative positions on College Council is currently vacant. We encourage all parents to consider themselves or encourage other parents to put their hand up for this important parent role at the College.

Please contact Ms Josie O’Connor for further information if you are interested in this position.

Parent Representative Wanted

Country buses (this does not include in town bus services) are provided as a free service to eligible students for the sole purpose of providing transport between home and school. While transport to and from other locations may have been allowed in the past, this situation has become unmanageable and unsafe. The rules governing School Buses are clear in this regard.

Transport such as:

• to the home of another student,

• to after school employment,

• to sporting and other social events, or

• to another person’s home for the purpose of child minding are all regarded as private in nature and therefore the responsibility of the parents and students concerned.

Casual travel in the past has caused overcrowding on some buses which creates serious concerns with respect to the safety. This year most buses are already running to their capacity so seating is not available.

As a result of these issues, and in accord with Department of Education and Training and Department of Infrastructure guidelines, no bus passes will be issued for any reason other than to facilitate short term emergency housing.

PLEASE NOTE: No bus pass will be issued for any other purpose.We deeply regret the inconvenience this may cause but we need to follow the guidelines set out by the Department of Education and Training closely as possible, which are created in the best interests of safety for all students.

Maureen Hickman Transport Coordinator Drouin Secondary College

Notice to all Parents and Students Country Bus Travel

It's boyband vs girlband in this hilarious musical, packed with pop smash hits from the 1990s by artists such as the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, MC Hammer and many more.

It's set in a school in the 1990s where Mark (Ben Fenner) is head over heels in love with his girlfriend, Shannon (Chloe Werner), the most popular girl in school.

When Shannon learns that pop-band producer Simon Austin (Josh Stephenson) is the surprise judge at the State Talent Show, she dumps Mark for her chance at showbiz stardom.

Mark rapidly goes from High School hero to High School zero. His garage band buddies rally around him and soon a plan for revenge is hatched to change their grunge band to a boy-band and snatch the Talent Show title from Shannon’s Candy Girls.

There’s just one small problem... the boys can’t dance. Mark enlists the help of the ultra talented, new girl, Ella (Dayna Tampaline) to help with their boy band make over and sparks soon fly.

Can Mark get the girl, get the Grand Prize and get even with the scheming Shannon closing in? It’s anyone’s guess as the countdown to the Grand Finale begins. It’s sure to be one to remember.

In the words of Dayna Tampaline, “The production is gonna be so good! The cast and crew are incredible to work with! Come and see it!

Tickets for performances from 28th July - 5th August can be purchased at https:// www.trybooking.com/QQGW.

There are four shows – Friday 28th July 7.30pm, Saturday 29th July 7.30pm, Saturday 5th August 2pm & 7.30pm.

Dear Parents,

This year the Year 8 Hands on Learning team are driving our participation in the Woolworths Earn & Learn program. Through this program we will be able to get new educational resources for our school – and all we need you to do is shop for your groceries at Woolworths.

From Wednesday 26th July to Tuesday 19th September, we are collecting Woolworths Earn & Learn Stickers. You will get one Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker for every $10 spent (excluding liquor, tobacco and gift cards). Place the Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker onto a Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker Sheet and when it’s complete, the Sticker Sheet can be dropped into the Collection Box here at the school (located near the student window at the front office)

At the end of the promotion, we’ll be able to get some great new equipment. The range is extensive and offers lots of items ideal for our students – including resources for Maths, English, Science, Art, Sport and for our library. If you’d like to know more visit www.woolworths.com.au/earnandlearn

Thank you for your support,

Bernie Walsh 8HOL coordinator
