From the Principal’s Desk

Semester 1: School Holidays The 2016 school year continues to fly by and we all look forward to school holidays which start tomorrow, Friday 8 July, with an early dismissal at 2.10 pm.

In the second week of the school holidays we will be taking 55 students to Mount Buller for a week of skiing and snowboarding on the annual KMS Snow Trip. With good falls of snow already it looks like being a bumper year.

I hope all members of the community take the opportunity to have some relaxing family time.

School Reports Mid-year R-12 School Reports summarizing student learning and achievements to date will come home today with the newsletter.

Mid-year reports are like the half time score in a football or netball game. It indicates progress to the mid-way point and a probable end result given factors don’t change.

Those people who have played sport know the game isn’t over until the final siren. Likewise in school, mid-year scores can change if there is either a positive or negative turn in events. The path to positive school results is no secret. Invariably if you

listen to the teacher, work on all the set tasks including home learning, you will pass the subject.

Sometimes a student may find something quite difficult and a check on the effort column will confirm if a student has worked positively, although possibly not mastered the learning. Of concern is where students have low scores matched with minimal effort. This usually indicates a concerning lack of motivation, time off task and unwillingness to work with the teacher towards mastery.

Like a game, students do best with lots of sideline support from families. Encouragement and expectations of a solid effort bring rewards to student learning.

Principal’s Report Continued:

Work Experience Thank you to all employers who have taken on our students for Work Experience. Irrespective of the ‘learn’ pathway that prepares students for further study or the ‘earn’ pathway, all students will find their final workforce destination is in a range of occupations, from those classified as professional to manual.

Living in a country community provides ample evidence of this. I see former students daily, who through their occupations serve me in a range of shops, cook at restaurants, fix my car, have built my house, repaired my plumbing and given financial advice, just to name a few.

As I am served by these students, I often think back to when they were adolescents where ‘grunting’ was the main communication we enjoyed and enthusiasm for being social and with friendships but not my lessons, were the norm. I also think about what has changed. Indeed they are more mature, the core values instilled by families, schools and community groups such as sporting teams come into play together with the learning provided by the school.

We all want our students to be ‘work ready’ and able to demonstrate a range of skills including the ability to:

• Communicate ideas and information • Plan and organise • Work with others and in teams • Solve problems

Families, the community and the school all have a part to play.

I highly value programs such as the Work Experience program many of our students are currently undertaking. I liken it to sport, when you can practise endlessly but it’s not until game day you really learn the skills and abilities you possess.

I sincerely thank all of the employers who are prepared to host our students in the work environment. Your feedback on students’ skills and abilities will provide important information on their readiness to be valuable workers of tomorrow.

We acknowledge all of the local employers currently involved in our Work Experience program.

Thank You for Supporting our Students

Volunteer Thank You Afternoon Tea We had a great afternoon tea to thank our volunteers recently. The contribution of volunteers to a large school like ours is priceless.

KMSC Captain Paris Schilling also thanked the volunteers on behalf of students saying how one person can make a positive difference to a young person’s learning.

The afternoon concluded with a performance from the KMS choir.

Enjoy your two week break, Regards, Dean Angus KMS Principal

R-6 Corner Assessment and reporting: No surprises As mentioned in the Principal’s Report, R-12 students will bring home their mid-year report today. This written report is one part of the DECD assessment and reporting process. During the year families have been involved and informed of their child's learning program and achievements through:

Learning overviews provided at Family Night in Term One

Students at risk identified mid Term One with information communicated with families

Interview opportunities at the end of Term One/early Term Two

Specific family workshops eg University opportunities, listening to your child read and the 'Words Their Way' program

Regular communication about learning progress through communication books, diaries, phone calls and emails

Highlights shared via our postcard system Intensive interviews and documentation of

specific learning plans for students with disabilities, ATSI students or students under the Guardianship of the Minister

Students articulating their next learning steps and successes with families (eg students goals in Years 3-6 and the secondary spotlight system)

The written report summarises Semester One learning and has the option of either families or staff requesting an interview to further discuss the report. The most productive learning occurs when a genuine partnership exists between families, students and educators. It is a school expectation written reports contain no surprises for families. Staff are expected to have made contact with families and discussed any potential concerns in advance of the written report arriving home. This may have occurred during interviews or staff may have made contact with families in alternative ways. Sometimes these conversations are uncomfortable but they are made with the best intentions to ensure an honest appraisal so a collaborative way forward can be determined. Enjoy your holiday, Debbie Terrett Head of R-6 KMS Deputy Principal

Middle School As Term 2 closes and reports go home it is essential you look over the end of semester report carefully. With the Australian Curriculum to be ‘At’ or ‘Above’ standard students will receive a ‘C’ or better. While you may be disappointed your child has received a ‘D’ check carefully for the attitude to learning and the effort they are demonstrating. If these are ‘good’ or better your child is demonstrating effort and application and we are pleased with this. Over the holidays I will be reviewing the results of every student and next term discussing with teachers and students where to from here.

Next term will be a busy one. Year 8s will undertake a survey about wellbeing and the data from this is used by our Resilience and Optimism Improvement Team. More information will be sent home to families during the term in regards to this. These holidays are also a great time to replenish pens, pencils, rulers and gluesticks as students need to be prepared for the learning ahead in Terms 3 and 4.

Take care over the holidays and see you next term.

Tarryn Germein Head of Middle School

Cows Create Careers Award Congratulations to Rebekah Read, Hayley Loechel- Cockburn, Jack Bevan and Harry Platten who won the Senior Class in the Barossa/Mid North Region of Cows Create Careers. They submitted a movie based around dairy calf nutrition and wrote a letter to the dairy industry highlighting what they had achieved at school and learnt about caring for these calves. We had the calves at school for four weeks where all Year 10 Ag students cared for them.

R-12ness, senior students share calf husbandry with their younger peers during Cows Create Career studies at KMS.

The Unit Our ‘Homes’ topic this term has seen students engaged in various activities in all curriculum areas. These have ranged from making cubby houses, learning the names of rooms in our homes, making model houses and doing experiments about the properties of building materials.

In Science this term Rachel took the Senior class students to the Science laboratory where they participated in a range of experiments to determine the ‘Strength of House Materials’. These experiments looked at the properties of clay/mud, straw, paper, wood, steel and brick/concrete to see whether they bend, break, tear, burn, produce smoke or melt.

As part of the lesson the students were required to wear an apron and goggles and each week someone different was selected to be Rachel’s helper with the experiments. Each student then completed a table to indicate the strength of each of the materials. Lots of fun was had during these lessons with the element of surprise to see what would happen during the experiments.

This week we also say farewell to two of our Pre-Service Teachers Ktora and Troy. They have done a fantastic job working in their classes alongside Andrea and Sandra, programming lessons and developing positive relationships with students and staff. We will miss seeing them and wish them all the best for their future employment.

See you next term, Sandy Mumford The Unit Coordinator

KMS Pastoral Care Worker After starting my role as the Pastoral Care Worker in Term 3 of 2015, the end of this term brings to a close my first full year here at Kadina Memorial School.

It has been a fantastic year, with many things learnt and challenges faced. I would like to sincerely thank all students and staff KMS who have welcomed me into the school community, shown support and encouraged me in the PCW role, and helped teach me the ropes when it comes to school life. I would also like to thank parents and caregivers of the students I have been working directly with because as much as I have mentored them, they too have mentored me.

In my time here I have been invited to participate in a wide range of school activities, all of which have been a joy to be involved in. Year 10 bushwalking, mentoring, a Year 8/9 young men’s group, KMSC lunchtime activities, chess club, sports days, staff prayer meetings, swimming lessons, Balaklava Eisteddfod and many more. I am grateful for all of these opportunities, but even more so for the relationships built with students and staff through these activities. I am excited to see what is in store for Semester 2!

I am currently at KMS on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the school term and can be contacted via email or through the Front Office, where you will also find PCW brochures and request for contact cards.

If I have not yet met you in person I look forward to doing so in the future. Have a safe, relaxing and enjoyable school holidays.

Tim Slater Pastoral Care Worker [email protected]

KMSC Lunchtime Events KMSC has been busy running lunchtime games and activities throughout the semester. Primary School has had footy competition and chess playoffs, Middle School has had longest kick and a hoop shootout, and Senior School has run a soccer game, staff versus students netball and a basketball competition in Week 9. It is great to see the initiative and enthusiasm the KMSC representatives have in providing inclusive activities for students. Thanks to all who have supported and participated at these events.

When was the last time you were pampered and made to feel special? On Monday 20 June, the ATSI, Flex/Flo and Wellbeing teams provided the opportunity for 20 KMS girls to feel special about themselves at our first ever ‘Girls’ Day Out’. The initiative took these girls to the Kadina Anglican Church, to use the local community garden and café to be ultimately pampered for the day. A large group of volunteers shared their skills in hairdressing, makeup application, manicures (hand massage and nail polish) and jewellery making. This program was an opportunity for students to learn new skills and career pathways. We are so fortunate to have such a supportive local community. We were inundated with donations from our local stores, which we used to fill sample bags of products for each girl. Special thanks must go to Newbery Chemist and the Reject Shop for their generous contributions. Our amazing KMS Parent Club and KMS friends baked the most magnificent selection of sweets, which we devoured at morning tea time. And finally acknowledgements must go to the eight volunteers who gave up their time to help at our ‘Girls’ Day Out’. They used their amazing skills and knowledge to pamper our girls and make them feel extremely special. Without this generous assistance from our incredibly supportive local community, our ‘Girls’ Day Out’ would not have been the huge success it was. Janine McKay Aboriginal Education Teacher

KMS Girls’ Day Out

Violet Day: Friday, Term 3, Week 1 Violet Day is on Friday 29 July to raise money and awareness for Meningococcal Disease. Meningococcal Disease is an acute bacterial infection that can cause death within hours if not recognised and treated in time. We ask students to bring a gold coin donation and wear violet colours. This is not a Casual Day - violet coloured clothing and accessories are the only accepted change to school uniform. There will also be Purple Iced Donuts for sale for $2 each that also come with a free tattoo. Pre-order Bags will be given out Monday Week 1 next term. Please return your bag with money enclosed to your teacher for collection before or by 8.50 Friday morning. Please support this annual event. Written by Will McKay and Ella McCauley KMSC

The Ned Show- R-6 Next term the school is hosting the NED Show, a positive behaviour performance highlighting resilience and making strong choices. This will be performed at the CCSLC Youth Hall at 2.00pm on Wednesday 3 August. The company asks for no money for the performance but instead a purchase of their merchandise. For a week after the performance yoyos will be on sale. A parent notice with purchasing and costs details will come out in Week 1 next term. Students will be able to purchase yoyos for five days after the performance. A venue for sales will be advertised on both facebook and in our daily bulletin notice. Zelly Ritter

Pick a Peck of Pickled Poems

In Week 7 all Primary students had the opportunity to attend a visiting performance called ‘Pick a Peck of Pickled Poems’. It was an entertaining performance that brought poetry to life with a variety of character voices, costumes, puppets and props. It also reminded us that later in the year Meg's Bookshop is sponsoring the ‘Read Aloud’ competition again. For those new to the school this is an opportunity to on your own, with a friend or group, choose a book with rhythm, repetition and rhyme and read this aloud in a way that engages your audience. Perhaps you could start practising this now - in class, at home, in the library at lunchtime? Whenever you read think about your presentation, use of your voice and ask yourself the question 'Am I engaging my audience?"

Supporting the 146th Kadina Show Students are encouraged to use their school holidays to get creative! Ask your class teacher or drop into the Front Office to collect an entry form.

Some categories to get you thinking -: Art - drawing, painting, collage…

Handicraft - sewing, lego, kit models…

Photography - colour, black & white, photoshop…

Woodcraft – carving, turning, woodburning…

Floriculture – posy, floral plate, miniature garden…

Produce – vegetables, fruit, eggs…

Cookery – Scones, Honey Crackles, decorated Weetbix… + 32 more choices!

So maybe it’s time to make the most of an adult’s skills and support in the holidays? Or when friends visit try an activity together? Maybe you’ve already created something this year and just need the entry form?

Think Opportunity! Think Respect. Think Excellence

Classes across the school have been working on mindset and the impact it can have on learning. People with a growth mindset are those who believe smartness increases with hard work, whereas those with a fixed mindset believe you can learn things but you can’t change your basic level of intelligence. Mindsets are critically important because they lead to different learning behaviours, which in turn create different learning outcomes. When people change their mindsets and start to believe they can learn to high levels, they change their learning pathways and achieve at higher levels. Miss Emma’s Year 2 class has been learning about mindset with the character Mojo. They are aware it’s good to struggle and that their brain grows when they make mistakes.

In a study, seventh-grade students were given a survey to measure their mindset. Then researchers followed the students over two years to monitor their mathematics achievement. The results were dramatic, as the achievement of the students with a fixed mindset stayed constant, but the achievement of those with a growth mindset went onward and upward (Blackwell et al., 2007)

Mindset Matters

KMS Sports News 2016 Aboriginal Power Cup Carnival With the theme of ‘Our Future, Ours for the Taking’, the 2016 Aboriginal Power Cup Carnival was held in Adelaide on 19-21 May. The annual sporting event brings together Indigenous secondary school students, using football to engage them and provide education and career pathway information.

Ayeisha Jackson, Tyrah Rogers, Talisha Lawrence, Drae Hopkins and Angel Webb from Kadina Memorial School, joined forces with students from Moonta, Ardrossan and Maitland Area Schools to form the Maitland cluster. Students played in a 9-a-side football carnival, participating in four (twenty-minute) matches on the Thursday, and another four on the Friday.

Unfortunately the boys’ and girls’ teams were not successful in making the grand final which was played as a curtain raiser to the Port Power and West Coast game at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night. However, all 2016 Power Cup students presented a cultural dance prior to the opening bounce of the AFL match in the middle of the stadium, which was an amazing spectacle!

Our KMS students conducted themselves in a professional and respectful manner and ensured all of the KMS core values were upheld.

Open Knock Out Hockey On Friday 3 June, KMS was represented at the Open Knock Out Hockey minor round at the Kadina Hockey Club. Unfortunately we did not make it to finals in Adelaide this year. We played hard, but Moonta and Gladstone were quicker and more skilful on the day. We wish Moonta good luck in the finals later in the year. Thanks to Mrs Tegan Mengersen and Mr Tom Ackland for coaching, Maddy Stewart and Bethany Paterson for umpiring and representatives from the Kadina Hockey Club for supporting the round with the venue, field maintenance and canteen facilities.

SAPSASA Hockey In Week 8 KMS students Brianna Stewart, Arabella McIntosh, Ella Bond, Nathaniel Howard, Zachary Ingham, Aaron King, Cameron Howard and Jaydan Trott represented NYP at the SAPSASA Hockey Carnival at Grange.

The boys came fourth with 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses and the girls placed sixth with 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.

The students braved the cold and played in sunshine, mud, heavy rain and extreme winds. It was the coldest SAPSASA week by far. We thank Ms Kelly Whittaker and Mrs Tegan Mengersen for coaching and Fergus Rowntree for umpiring.

8/9 Knockout Footballers Reign Supreme on YP On a glorious winter’s day, Kadina Memorial School’s Year 8/9 Knock Out Football Team travelled to the immaculate Minlaton Town Oval to compete in Round 2 of the state-wide Knock Out Football Competition. Kadina strung together a consistent, effort driven, four-quarter performance to run away 77 point winners over a Yorke Peninsula Combined Schools side. The first quarter started at a frenetic pace with contested possessions the order of the day. Kadina won the majority of disputed balls and through the dominant play of Mitchell Steer and Matt Borlace, piled on 4 goals to 1 in the opening term. The highlight of this term was Ben Davies (Benny Betts) kicking a miraculous check side goal from the right forward pocket. The second term offered more of an even contest. Fin Hansen, Ben Davies and Flynn May led the way for Kadina with tackle pressure and polished skills. The YP side was competitive but lacked the size, strength and speed to compete with Kadina for sustained periods. This term saw Khalid Shaid, on debut, kick his first goal in competitive football, a great moment of celebration for the team. In the second half Kadina flexed its muscle and kicked away to a commanding lead. Jesse Holman kicked 2 goals for the half and dominated his wing whilst Jordan Taylor stood tall across half back, continuously cutting off opposition kicks and thrusting the ball forward. Hansen, May and Davies continued their midfield dominance to ensure Kadina held a healthy winning margin at the final siren. Another great result for the team founded on the team principles of pressure, teamwork and effort. The boys embodied the school values of respect, opportunity and excellence in their actions both on and off field and should be commended for displaying the school in a positive light. And finally, thank you to Year 9 Jakeb Branford for taking the opportunity to step up again and umpire the game. Final Score: KMS: 14 Goals, 20 behinds, 104 points; YPCS: 4 goals, 3 behinds, 27 points KMS Best Players: Ben Davies, Flynn May, Mitchell Steer, Matt Borlace, Fin Hansen, Jordan Taylor, Jesse Holman. KMS Goal Scorers: Ben Davies 2, Mitchell Steer 2, Jesse Holman 2, Matt Borlace 1, Will Pearce 1, Braidon Cunningham 1, Jordan Taylor 1, Khalid Shaid 1, Ryley Paulson 1, Braden Aldridge 1, Angus Hunter-Price 1.
