Principal’s reportHi Everyone,

As we approach the end of the year, may I reinforce some keymessages:

Classes will continue every day. There will be no “play lessons”or “just watching videos” right up to last day.

We had a wonderful send off for our Year 12’s. GraduationEvening, then our Farewell Parade, were outstanding events.What a wonderful group of young Australians! We wish them allthe very best in their future endeavours.

Congratulations to our 2016 School Leaders (see inside) ‘Weare “re-modelling” our student leadership program and I lookforward to the development of our young leaders. Thanks toTristan, Kate, Steven and Brooke our leaders this year.

In curriculum news we will commence the study of Chinese inYear 7 next year. We have been accepted into a ‘ContinuousClassroom’ program day with Trinity Beach, which will enhanceour Chinese program.

There are new Start- Finish times for students next year also.The daily routine is highlighted in the newsletter below-note thatstudents now begin school at 8.45 am and finish at 2.30pm.There is no ‘form class’ next year so students go directly toPeriod 1 at 8.45am.

Yr. 12 Senior Students News, November2015

This is the final newsletter for the highlights of the 2015 seniors.By the time you read this, some will be halfway across the statecelebrating at “Schoolies”, having finished a very important stepin their young lives; high school!

As the Yr.12 Year Co-ordinator, I feel so very proud of so manyof our seniors who have achieved outstanding results or evensimply achieved their personal best results after years in highschool. Their results, either good or poor will have a lastingeffect on establishing the foundation for their future lives.

Our seniors have squeezed a lot into this short and final termat school. For some of our students, the Senior Formal wasthe most important event on this year’s calendar. Wearingformal-wear and with fresh haircuts and make-up, they alllooked stunning. Again, thank you Jayne Johnston fororganising this very beautiful event.

Just last Thursday with the completion of the last exams, wasthe annual HRE Day (Human Relationships Education) whereall the Yr.12s had a series of guest speakers who presenteda range of topics from gambling awareness, coping with theweek at Schoolies, the importance of car insurance, to defenceforce careers and post-high school TAFE courses. Thank youMs Dowling for helping organise this day.

That same evening was the Senior Graduation held at GrandChancellor Hotel, Palm Cove where all graduating seniors wereformally congratulated by Mr Courtney as our proud principaland presented their senior folders. Thank you again JayneJohnston for also organising this big evening.

The following morning on Friday, our 2015 seniors were formallyfarewelled in front of the entire school at the Rec’ Centre as the

final day at school. While a joyous occasion, it was also quitean emotional time as many reflected on their time here at highschool and now move into a new chapter of the rest of theirlives.

This was also a special time when our seniors personally thankall the teachers and staff who have helped them over the pastfive years, with many giving a special thanks to Mr Courtneywho made a special effort to ensure they achieved success.

I have enjoyed this year being the Yr.12 Year Co-ordinator;sometimes challenging but always so rewarding as I got toknow all of them and hopefully they will have fond memories ofthis year.

Thank you, 2015 seniors! I wish you all a wonderful andrewarding future.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAMMEOn Tuesday, 10 November we held a morning tea to farewellErickewec Galgal, Eltonia Ah-Wong and Lisa Samuel our Year12 GP graduates. The turnout was great, and we also took theopportunity to thank their parents and homestay providers fortheir support of these students. We wish Eltonia, Erick and Lisaall the best in their future endeavours.

On Friday 27 we will also say goodbye to Study Abroardstudents Giulia Barberis, Viola Borroni, Max Winckelmann, PiaRust, Charlotte Bischoff-Everding and brothers’ Tim and BenLemmens. We hope you have some great memories, andlong-lasting friendships to take home with you.

My role in the programme is as the International StudentProgramme Co-ordinator, and I work with the students in the

13

Being a part of Smithfield State High School is not only aprivilege for me but also a blessing, because back where Icome from not many kids can afford to come to a place likeSmithfield State High and learn. Not only was I learning but Iwas also making friends and memories that I will cherish forthe rest of my life. I have seen so much improvement in myacademic work; thanks to the best support from the schoolmy Teachers; Ms Russell, Mrs Harris, Ms Cope, Mrs Courtney,Mr Diehnoff, Ms Sherrington ,Ms Denzin, Mrs Davidson andmost of all Mr Courtney for his welcoming spirit and words ofwisdom. They have played such an important role in my life asteachers, and role models. They took me over the line. For thatI will be so grateful for the rest of my life - I had such wonderfulteachers. It’s so sad that I’ll be leaving Smithfield State HighSchool, but I’ll be just as proud that I’m leaving the school as aYear 12 Graduate from Smithfield State High School. ThankyouSmithfield for such an amazing year and a half.

Fitzroy IslandYear 9 students ventured on a field trip to Fitzroy Island onFriday 16 October 2015 as part of their unit on Geography andsustainability of the local environment. Using the methodologiesof observation and interviews students collected informationof the environmental and human impact of tourism on FitzroyIsland. Students studied the diverse ecology of the islandcomparing the landscape of the lighthouse to the rainforest andthe beauty of Nudey Beach.

“Fitzroy Island is an amazing place, and provided an amazingexperience. Learning about the different habitats and the seeingthe beautiful views in the forest or looking out to sea was a greatpleasure. I hope we can go back again.” Alyssa Wiltshire

“It was great fun and interesting to learn about how humanimpact changes the environment. Also to see the amazingviews and wonderful rainforest was phenomenal.” Ben Smith

“Fitzroy Island was a beautiful clean, blue island. It was the firsttime I had visited it and I was really impressed. We had heapsof fun hiking and just overall a great day.” Taneesha Smith

“I didn’t know you could make something educational so fun!”Ethan Russell

Congratulations Kishan MetzelingTropical North Learning Academy Smithfield State High Schoolstudent Kishan Metzeling was this week awarded acongratulatory medallion by Dr Brendan Nelson from theAustralian War Memorial Foundation in Canberra. Kishan’sefforts in composing an analytical essay on Australia’sinvolvement in World War 1 was recognised as a significant andinsightful example of historical inquiry for a student in Year 9.Kishan included an interview from his grandfather on his greatgrandfather Vincent Geoffrey Atherton Puch’s experiences atthe Battle of Villers-Brettoneus in April 1914. Kishan’s interviewand connection with his family’s history demonstrates theimportance of young people learning about their heritage tohelp with identity and purpose in a modern fast paced world.

As part of the Humanities Tropical North Learning Academy,Kishan along with other Year 9 Academy students participatedin an accelerated historical curriculum project with a focus onWorld War 1 as part of their study of Australian History. Thissaw students engaging with a range of primary and secondarysources to investigate not only Australia’s involvement in WorldWar 1 but also the cruel realities of the Great War and how

these realities were brought home by soldiers who wrote abouttheir experiences. For many students these recounts andexperiences brought a sense of deep understanding andrecognition for the sacrifices that past generations had madefor Australian citizens to enjoy their freedom.

For Kishan this had a deeper personal significance due to hisgrandfather’s involvement in World War 1. This study allowedKishan to share not only his grandfather’s acts of bravery duringwar time but also the difficulties that he faced on returning toAustralia. In addition to his medallion Kishan also received apersonal hand written note from Dr Brendan Nelson Director ofthe Australian War Memorial recognising not only his efforts buthis grandfathers as well.

Dr Nelson wrote “In your journey of discovery, you will find yourfamily’s story and contribution to Australia to be an anchor”.Such words of inspiration really showed not only Kishan butother students the importance of the value of the study ofhistory and how we need to take from the past to create abetter future.

Noreen Wilcox Award forExcellence in Education

This year, the Noreen Wilcox Award wentto our own HOD Teaching & Learning, MsEdita Sliskovic. The Australian College ofEducators' website states: "Noreen'sefforts to enhance the opportunities for

students through the refinement of teaching practice were aconstant focus of Noreen's life. An exemplary model, Noreendemanded and achieved a high standard from those aroundher." Remind you of anyone? That's why we're very proud ofMs Sliskovic - because these same descriptors apply to herown character, teaching and mentoring practices. I'm sure allher past Philosophy and History students agree.

End of Year Stocktake

Handing back all school resources before the end of the year isimportant. Of course, we want to ensure that we have enoughtextbooks and library books for everyone in 2016. But we alsoneed to sight resources so that we can repair them, purchaseadditional copies if necessary and update them. Lastly, weneed to reconcile our holdings with our database so that weare all not wasting time looking for resources, which are not onsite. We are asking for the cooperation of students and parentsin returning any and all school resources, including laptops, to

15

the Library and Textbook room. Our emails and messages havebeen more urgent than ever, with an extra year level to support.

All Year 12 resources were due to be handed back Nov 16.Year 11's and 10's have until Nov 23 and Yrs 7-9 can haveresources until Dec 4, preferably before. Your cooperation inreturning textbooks and library books, will save labour both inthe library and the office.

STAFF V STUDENTS

The time honoured tradition of the year 12 students tryingdesperately to discredit their teachers by humiliating them infront of the school in sporting competitions has once againbeen played out. The students decided to take on the might ofthe staff across a tri series of events; Touch Football, Volleyballand Futsal. The year 12s looked to dominate the series earlyby electing to play touch football first hoping to expose theage of some of the legs carrying the staff. However this wasnot the case as Mr. Jake Hancock showed vintage form andelectric speed in helping guide the teachers to a comfortable4-2 victory.

Tuesday’s tussle proved to be a more favourable outcome forthe students in securing victory over the staff in the volleyballleg. The staff opened an early lead being up by 8 points afterthe first 5 minutes of play. However the students regroupedand showed great composure to come back and dominate thegame eventually securing the second game and levelling theseries at 1 all.

The whole school was buzzing on the Wednesday morningsimilar to the vibe with a tied State of Origin series. Futsal wasthe decider and leading into the lunchtime whistle there wereplenty of nerves from both sides. The game started at a furiouspace with no side able to really stamp any authority on thegame. A collective sigh of relief was audible in the packed PBlock stadium when diminutive pocket dynamo Mr. AndrewGentle opened the teachers’ account with an impeccablytimed leap to head home the opening goal. The game settledfrom here and both sides put together some entertaining

passages. With bragging rights on the line the intensity of thecontest was unmistakeable as Ms Rachel Terry found out asNoah Muir sent her crashing to the floor. Riley Edwards triedhard to claw the students back into the game with a crackingdrive to score from close to halfway. However it was not tobe the day for the students with the teacher’s superior in allaspects of the game convincingly getting the job done 5-2.

Check out these 2 short clips from the series decider!

As our sporting calendar draws nearer to a close it is a greatopportunity to look at one of our younger students who isalready accomplishing great sporting feats. Year 7 studentMorgan Cotrel. This year he competed at the QueenslandJunior State Gymnastics Championships. Morgan scored anawesome 54.200 over six apparatus coming 4th overall inQueensland, also gaining a 4th overall placing on Rings and a6th place overall placing on Parallel Bars out of 19 competitors.He was also the highest placing gymnast Far North Queenslandhas entered into Junior State Championships in many years.

RISING STAR SPORTING PROFILE

Morgan Cotrel

What are the sporting highlights of your career this far?

Making it to State Titles for gymnastics every year since Level3 (2011) and gaining skills on different apparatus. My favouriteof these are giants on high-bar and a round-off flick layout onfloor. Those were major achievements for me because I hadspent a long time working hard to get them. Overall the highlightof my gymnastics career so far is getting 3rd on Rings, 6th onP-Bars and 4th Overall at State Championships.

What is the most enjoyable aspect of your sport/s?

20

Learning new skills, improving my conditioning and workingtowards gaining a Gold Medal at State Championships andbecoming State Champion.

A typical training week for me is:

I train 12 hours a week in four blocks of 3 hour training sessionson Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. My traininghours are about to be upgraded as I move into SeniorCompetitive Gymnastics Level 7 next year with four 3½ hoursessions and two 1½ hour morning training sessions.

Who was/is the toughest opposition/player you competeagainst?

There is a gymnast training at Gymnastics Townsville who isreally good. He is currently the Level 6 State Champion and hasrecently moved into level 7 so I will be up against him again nextyear.

What would be the ultimate achievement for you in thissport?

To represent Australia at a world championship, And to makethe QLD team next year. Overall I hope to be able to do reallygreat skills and possibly have one named after me!

A quote that motivates you:

“Wishin’ Won’t, Workin’ Will”

(Wishing for something won’t get you anywhere, but workinghard will)

Really impressive words from such a young man and at trainingfor over 12 hours a week certainly is a fine representative of hismotivational quote. It is great to see another young SmithfieldSHS student setting lofty goals and then dedicating enormoustime to ensure that he has the best chance possible to turnthese dreams into reality. Well done Morgan.
