PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Congratulations to all students who have worked to achieve their personal best throughout Semester One at Jindabyne Central School. As always the myriad of excursions, sporting and cultural events, workshops, festivals, competitions and concerts has been exhausting. I would like to thank the teachers and support staff for their tireless efforts and commitment to the provision of quality learning experiences across Semester One. To our new teachers I hope that you have found your love of teaching in our school and to those not so new I know that you have continued your love affair with teaching. Thank you for what we often see as a thankless job. I would like to congratulate all students who have worked to achieve their personal best throughout Semester One. Congratulations on the quality of achievement as evident in the Semester One reports that I have read. To our Year 12 students I wish you perseverance, persistence, rigour and commitment as you finalise project work and practical performances for the Higher School Certificate. Many practical examinations and projects are completed during Term 3. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Cooper for relieving as the Principal for most of Semester One. I was provided with an opportunity to explore working as part of NSW Public Schools Operations and Performance Team as Relieving Director for the Queanbeyan Network of Schools and this has given me great insight into the future directions for Public Education in NSW and what this means for Jindabyne Central School. The profound changes ahead demand an education approach that lifts the proficiency of all students, teachers and schools so that Proficiency is the minimum standard. The fundamental importance of the three R’s-reading, writing and arithmetic are recognised by educators the world over. Without these foundations higher order learning and more complex skills cannot be developed. However basic literacy and numeracy is not enough in our ever changing and complex world. Our challenge as a school community is to continue to set the foundations for students to thrive in tomorrow’s world with a focus on future thinking and preparing students to live and work in 2050 and perhaps through to 2090; including a focus on deep learning, the importance of mindset, measuring a broader set of skills and attributes, learning beyond the four walls of the classroom, lifting our mathematics and technology skills, enhancing opportunities in the area of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), championing the Arts, all enabled by inspiring and innovative teaching. Semester Two will commence with a School Development Day for teachers with the emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy, Data for Accountability and Action and the challenge of Proficiency as the minimum standard for students, teachers and community. Throughout Semester Two, Jindabyne Central School will commence the next cycle of the School Plan 2018-2020. This process will involve the School Council with parent representation on what you see as significant to the Jindabyne Central School community. Inclusive of this process will be the allocation for funding across the school, aligned with improved student outcomes.

PRIMARY NEWS Bridging the gap

The JCS enrichment program provides opportunities for students to explore and develop their particular talents. Programs in English and Mathematics are designed to enrich very capable young students and allow flexible progression to meet the needs of all students. During Term 2 Ms Harrigan’s self-select class were busy deepening their knowledge making bridges with straws and tape. The students produced many talented designs.

Aboriginal Australia – History Hunters Mrs Anna Thornton, Classroom Teacher

As part of the Aboriginal Australia component of our ‘People of the High Country’ History unit this term, 1T History Hunters have explored some of the history, culture and language of Ngarigo Country on which our love of learning takes place. Our learning was also punctuated by National Reconciliation Week, 27 May to 3 June – a week which reminds us that ‘big changes take persistence and courage, so let’s celebrate together and take the next steps’. As such, we have been learning to pursue respectful relationships with each other and the land. 1T have been exploring how and when First Australians initially arrived in Australia approximately 60,000 years ago, some of the megafauna they would have lived beside over 46,000 years ago, the six (out of 250) language groups which border Ngarigo country and how, when and why these six language groups would come to the Snowy Mountains to celebrate and feast each year. We created a beautiful Bogong Moth ‘welcome door’ to our classroom which includes some published student writing. One of our parents, Ruth Kennedy, came to tell the children all about Bush Tucker in Central Australia, an area in which she grew up as a child. Thank you, Ruth! We continued to explore and write about how food was gathered and hunted.

We have also continued to link in some beautiful Aboriginal-inspired artworks, including the use of symbols, and the use of dots to hide some of these sacred meanings. Beautiful Bush Tucker Lizards coming to the 1T classroom soon! We continued to explore Ancient Aboriginal Pathways and Placenames, including the Bundian Way, which allowed Aboriginal people from the coast and highlands to move freely in land that European people thought was impassable. 1T look forward to sharing more of their Aboriginal Australia learning during their Term 3 Class Assembly at 9.30 on Friday, 11th August.

Extract from 1T’s Smart Notebook Class History Journal

Sydney Conservatorium of Music visit JCS JCS students received a visit from Sydney Conservatorium of Music as part of their annual concert tour of the Southern Highlands and South Coast of NSW. The ensemble included a saxophone quartet, a guitarist and a soprano and the students were given demonstration recitals to introduce them to instruments, musical performance and music education. Some students were given the opportunity to try different saxophones.

4H’s Treat Extreme! By Ryan Anderson and Bede McFadden On the 20th of June, 4H held a treat stall for K-12 on the basketball court at JCS to raise money for LAOKO. (Looking After Our Kosciuszko Orphans.) It was held at lunchtime near the canteen. LAOKO is a big team of people who save and help wild animals. They then have to feed the animal and keep it in a cage or pouch. After a few weeks, when the animal is healthy and is ready to live on its own, they let it go. This is a valuable community service. 4H decorated all the cupcakes by themselves. They poured all the chocolate out, did all the icing, rolled the marshmallow kebabs in melted chocolate, and even made the chocolate balls. They were really good. It was very busy and it’s not surprising to see how much money they raised. They also had a lolly guessing competition on the other side of the basketball court. The treat stall was a fun event. 4H thanks everyone who bought from it. And we should also thank Mrs Hughes, a primary school teacher, for putting it all together.

4H Take a Guess by Nell Owen and Matilda Beaumont

Nell Owen, Matilda Beaumont, Indie Burke and Mykenzie Roy from Jindabyne Central School (JCS) put on a lolly guessing competition. It was held on the 20th and the 23rd of June on the grounds of JCS. It was on the basketball court on the left hand side. With the help of Mrs Rachael Hughes we were able to pull it off. The lolly guessing comp went really well. The girls cooperated well and had fun. 131 people guessed and we raised $30.35c. The money we raised was for the RSPCA. The RSPCA stands for the Royal Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The RSPCA is a very good place to take your pet if they are hurt. They were very pleased to have received the money from JCS. The lolly counting was a blast. Everybody did a great job and we were proud. The winner was Flynn Willmot who guessed 350 and there were 349 lollies. Nell, Matilda, Indie and Mykenzie were very industrious but were and were glad it was over and done with. So the next time you see a lolly competition enter because you might just win!

Little Shredder Program

K-6 students enjoyed experiencing the basics of snowboarding during the Little Shredder program that was introduced in Term 2. The students also benifitted from the skills and experience of AustralIan Junior Snowboarding athlete and previous JCS student Adam Lambert, for each of the sessions. The six session program utilised custom made modified equipment specifically built for the school yard to teach students the fundamental skills of snowboarding. The program was a huge hit and it would be interesting to find out how many kids had a go at snowboarding, at one of the resorts, over the recent school holiday period.

Year 3 Camp By Angus Linton.

During Term 2, I went to camp. We were always active doing activities like slider trikes, archery, rock climbing, initiatives and so much more! Camp cookout - At the camp cookout we cooked sausages and damper. They were good. Most of the time I was collecting sticks for the fire, but that was the fun part! After cooking and eating, one of the instructors read ‘The Man From Snowy River’. Another instructor was cracking a whip while the story was being read to us. It was really cool. Archery -At archery only Josh got the bullseye. I got one out of the range. But that’s just me. Initiatives- During initiatives we did four activities. Zoom, Tying Ropes, throwing stuffed animals and group skipping. We had to work as a team to complete the activities. Slider trikes-While riding the slider trikes we had so much fun! We did skids, races and a lot of other things. Rock climbing- During rock climbing we had a challenge called “hang tough”. It was so much fun!!!!! Dinner - In the dinner hall there was so much food, so I had to have seconds. It was great!!!! Jindy Markets- At the Jindy Markets we got to have a lot of fun! We all had our own store to sell services and we earnt ‘Jindy Bucks’. We then got to go to other stores and use our ‘Jindy Bucks’ to play games, get our hair done, eat fairy bread and so much more. Year 3 camp was the best thing I have ever done!

JINDABYNE CENTRAL SCHOOL

During Term 1 Cade, along with some members from the JCS Stage Band, performed for the kids at Snowy Mountains Care and Learning Centre as a way of celebrating their last rehearsal. The band played two songs while the kids listened and danced. They also introduced them to the instruments. Hopefully this is a start to a more regular musical connection with the Snowy Mountains Care and Learning Centre. They were a brilliant audience and were keen to share their thoughts and dance moves. They also ate a fair amount of Oreos!

JCS Senior Music Performance evening The JCS Senior Music performance evening was held in the Secondary Music Room held on Tuesday 27th June. The evening was a great success and also assisted in preparing those students for the HSC. “The program was broad in terms of genre and it was obvious that some students have approached their course with passion, dedication and commitment.” said Debbie Lee Hughes JCS Principal who was in attendance. Thanks to the parents, staff and friends who attended to support the musicians and to those students who were there to support and assist with production.

HSC Advanced English/ Modern History/ Ancient History Study Days and Preliminary and HSC Drama Workshops by Sharn Stewart

At the end of Term 2 HSC students studying History and Advanced English made the long journey to Sydney (complete with essay writing practice on the way!!) to participate in a series of lectures held at Sydney University to support their HSC studies. As well as getting a taste of university life, English students got some handy tips on essay writing and learned about the Modernist poet TS Eliot and Arthur Miller’s, The Crucible. History students benefitted from their series of lectures delivered by noted historians and Senior HSC Markers, which included topics such as: WWII, Pompeii and Hatshepsut. We also managed to squeeze in a visit to the National Maritime Museum to see their exhibition Escape from Pompeii. Drama students had a full experience as well, flitting between theatre performances at Riverside Theatre and Belvoir Theatre. They also participated in workshops, run by industry professionals, to develop their Individual Performances and Group Performances in preparation for their HSC. For some students there was time to take in the sights of Vivid at night (see picture), whilst Drama students attended a performance of Mr Burns at Belvoir Theatre. What a great opportunity to learn beyond the classroom environment! I’m sure all students will agree that it was a full few days and that they gained considerable benefit from their participation in the diverse activities offered. All students were a pleasure to accompany at each of the events. Their willingness to engage with new learning opportunities and their mature behaviour in Sydney was very impressive. A big thank you should be extended to the other teachers who attended the excursion: Steve Cooper, Roberta Worsley and Fiona Borcherds. A special mention should be made of Janine Sadgrove in the front office, for her efforts in helping to get this multi-faceted excursion organised. I think she was rather relieved when we finally got on the bus and left!

Senior drama students learn in Sydney

Senior students have had the opportunity to attend a performance of a play at the Riverside Theatre in Parramatta: shafanna and aunt sarrinah is a Standard English HSC text and it is a play written about wearing the Muslim headscarf. Afterwards they participated in group devising workshops at the wonderful Belvoir theatre in Surry Hills. Group performance is a compulsory part of assessment for HSC drama students and the workshop for years 11 and 12 was inspiring and fun!

Debating heats up Jindabyne Central School debating teams have been competing well throughout The Premier Debating Challenge that began during Term 2 and is now in full swing. The Premier's Debating Challenge is open to all NSW government schools, with the aim of developing the public speaking and reasoning skills of students from Years 5 to 12. Prior to round 1 of the competition JCS debating students participated in a workshop with Hannah Worsley who was a state champion in debating and has represented NSW in competitions. Hannah assisted with training students and adjudicating debates and provided extensive feedback. This workshop, and other training sessions held, along with students watching their peers’ debate has helped to improve their skills and has prepared them well for the current Premiers Debating Challenge.

How do the debates work? Every debate in the challenge is a 1 hour preparation debate. Teams do not know the topic or which side of the debate they are on until 1 hour before the debate starts. Once the preparation time is up, 3 speakers from each team take turns to speak, with a 4th silent speaker helping out during preparation and during the debate.

Before the students commenced their Bridge Challenge, they researched different types of bridges, and construction techniques that would enable them to make the strongest bridge possible. They most memorable moment of the Bridge Building Project was testing the bridges. There were many students who held their breath as the bridge was tested. The more water that went into the bucket, the more they held their breath, some students could not bear the tension and covered their eyes.

Food Technology News Food Technology is a dynamic and ever-changing area of study.

CAREER CORNER with Rayna Green

University Outreach Program – Year 8 Year 8 Jindabyne Central School students participated in workshops run by the University Outreach Engage program focusing on the topic Water for Life. The workshops looked at Engineers without Borders a program which aims to find solutions to alleviate poverty and discover sustainable developments through engineering and technology. Today the students learnt the importance of fresh water. They then created their own water filter systems from provided filtration media. The students were able to test their filtration systems with dirty water to see which team was the most successful. Discussions with the university student presenters about University and careers in engineering & technology was a fun way to open year 8 to outside opportunities available to them in the future.
