YEAR 10 QUEENSLAND CAMP

As a part of the year 10 program 80

students attended the Queensland

camp/trip from September 13th to

19th 2014. Along with the students

came 8 fabulous staff members from

the college. We all boarded a bus

and started our 24 hour journey to

the Gold Coast where we all took

part in a range of different activities

including attending 3 theme parks

which were: Wet 'n' Wild, SeaWorld

and Movie World. All students and

staff also participated in a day of

surfing and kayaking at Burleigh

Heads. Whilst at camp we also spent

one of our days shopping at Pacific

Fair and Harbour Town. The theme

parks were definitely a highlight for

all the students.

We would like to thank the College

and the teachers who put in so much

time and effort into making this such

a successful and memorable trip for

all the year 10 students who

attended .

PLAN YOUR OWN ENTERPRISE

We would like to congratulate Gillian Abalos, Mitchell Gration and Chrysanthi

Demetriou for being awarded second place in the Victorian Division of the National

Plan Your Own Enterprise Competition. This is nation wide competition with entries

School. The competition is organised by CPA Australia in conjunction with

FROM THE PRINCIPAL CLASS

Congratulations

Last Monday I had the absolute pleasure

of attending the presentation of the Plan

Your Own Enterprise awards for Victoria

and nationally as well. It was absolutely

delightful to see our year 11 Business

Management teams of Gillian, Mitchell

and Chrysanthi being awarded the second

place award for Victoria in the group

category. As a national competition the

awards draw over 1000 entries and

gaining this award is recognition of the

effort made and quality of the final

project. The students worked on the

project during their Business

Management classes with the assistance

and guidance of their practicum teacher,

Mr Shervin Mazaheri Kashani along with

their regular teacher Ms Angela

McKendry. An outstanding effort by all.

BYOD

We have now completed briefings for

both the incoming year 7 families as well

as current year 9 families on the

implementation of Bring Your Own

Device (BYOD) as it will operate within

our College next year. Remaining year

levels with continue with the current

Netbook arrangements for 2015 unless

any student wishes to transfer across at

any point. More information will be

provided to families at other levels should

this be desired. We have gone to a lot of

trouble to ensure our BYOD service is

not only at a quality level, but also that is

can be suitably monitored when any

student is logged on to the school

network and the use of the computer can

be monitored at those times.

Year 12 Celebrations

As a year 12 level completed classes

there was time for a short but memorable

celebration and I would like to take this

opportunity to congratulate the current

VCE and VCAL cohort for the manner in

which they conducted themselves through

this. The traditional dress up day saw a

wide variety of costumes, all in good fun.

The final day commenced with a walk as

a year 12 group into the school where

they were greeted by all year 7 students.

The year 12 students then spent some

time viewing a range of highlights of

their year and then completed the

morning with a new innovation for us, the

Long Lunch! The group joined in for a

great celebratory lunch in what was very

much a picnic atmosphere joined by

many of their teachers when available.

Some dancing, many farewells and lots of

memories. Many staff were involved in

bringing the special lunch event together,

however I would like to single out the

staff who organised this and particularly

the Co-ordinators Mr Kelliher and Ms

Massarotto as well as Mr Dedes.

Exams are underway

Yesterday our year 12 students

experienced their first day of the final

exam period and English at VCE is now

behind them. The exams run over the

next two and a half weeks and year 11

and then year 10 exams will follow in

close succession. Apart from exams we

are now well progressed with planning

for next year. Students in current years

10 and 11 have their subjects for next

year and year 9 students progressing to

year 10 will be informed of their

allocations in in the next two weeks. Any

student with any question concerning

allocations should in the first instance

check with Ms Damon in L2.

Reminder – Next Monday

Whilst many families have family

members with a rostered day off next

Monday, I remind our school community

that next Monday is a normal school day

with classes running as usual.

Education Maintenance Allowance

I remind parents again that the Victorian

Government has made a decision to no

longer pay eligible parents an Education

Maintenance Allowance. The decision

has been taken to hand some of this

money over to some schools. We have

received some money in this allocation

and we are currently considering how this

allocation can be most effectively used to

assist needy families in some ways

through school programs, albeit in a very

reduced manner from the previous

system.

PLAN YOUR OWN ENTERPRISE

Students are required to prepare a detailed business plan to respond to a community need. This competition provides the

opportunity for students to develop a business model that includes focusing on feasibility, compliance with appropriate

legislation, marketing and resource management. It’s a real opportunity to provide students with an authentic learning

opportunity.

Gillian, Mitchell and Chrysanthi prepared a business plan for their business – GMC Canteens. Their vision is to serve healthy

lunch options as well as café style beverages. Items including fresh produce and light lunches will range in price to provide

inexpensive choices form students and staff in comfortable surrounds which can also serve as a study area.

Also a big thank you goes to Angela McKendry and Shervin Mazaheri Kashani (student teacher) for supporting our students

with this competition.

ITALY TRIP 2014

The 11 students and 4 staff who went on

the Italy Trip I’m sure would agree that it

was an experience they will remember

forever! We travelled from the south of

Italy(Reggio Calabria) to the north (Milan)

in the short(!!) time that we had. On every

trip we try to add something different to

the previous ones and this time students

attended a Gelati making class in Sorrento

which was fantastic and yes it meant we

got to sample more gelato!! We did a tour

of San Siro Stadium in Milan and also

visited the town of Lucca in Tuscany and

to explore it we hired bikes and rode

around the town.

We made sure

we saw the

tourist

attractions in

the main cities

like: The

Colosseum,

the Vatican

( and yes, we

got to see the

Pope in what

were very

crowded circumstances!), the leaning

tower of Pisa, Pompeii, the Last Supper in

Milan and lots of others – too many to

mention. Homestay in Rome was a

fantastic experience for the students to see

what its like to be a student in Rome for 5

days and to experience family life. Host

families were very accommodating to our

students’ needs and made sure they could

do all possible to make their stay a

memorable one.

Our students got to experience a small

snippet of school life at Il Liceo Manfredi

Azzariti and very quickly made

comparisons to our school! One of them

being that school

finishes at

12.30pm! If they

are late to school

they are locked

out! On our trip

we sampled lots

of Italian food

and tried to vary

the different types of pasta and pizza we

could eat and sometimes experimented

with the local food. Another highlight of

the trip was our day in Molochio in

Southern Italy(Reggio Calabria) where we

met locals, visited the Primary school and

made some connections, had a picnic

lunch up in the mountains, played soccer

and let’s not forget the banquet dinner that

was prepared by the families of this very

small town. The food was based on

traditional Calabrese dishes with their own

local produce being used as the ingredients

– Masterchef at its best!

The trip provided the students with

different opportunites and it was great

to see them willingly trying different

things and experiences. I am sure they

will have some fantastic memories of

the 2014 Italy trip(even if it is about

how heavy their suitcases were!!) and I

encourage all students to consider being

part of the 2016 Italy trip!

A big thanks to the staff involved: Mr

Pell, Mr Dedes and Ms Johnson your

assistance on this trip was greatly

appreciated. Grazie! To the parents of

the students who participated thank you

very much for your support in the trip

and I hope it will be a topic of

conversation for many years to come!

To the students, you did really well and

although at times we were all exhausted

we really did so much in such little

time. I hope you got to bring home

more of Italy that fits in a suitcase!!

Saluti,

Mrs Deluca

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR ITALIAN STUDENTS HOMESTAY FROM ROME

IN SEPTEMBER 2015

Are you interested in hosting a student from our sister school in Rome “Il liceo Manfredi Azzariti” for 5 nights in September

2015?

We are looking for families from Taylors Lakes Secondary College to assist in accommodating students next year.

If you are interested, please fill in the details below and return either to Mrs Deluca in H2 or to the General Office.

It is probably advisable for any students thinking about participating in the 2016 Italy trip to be part of this event as it would be

great for families to reciprocate the exchange.

All students study English at the school so language should not be a problem!

I/we are interested in hosting a student from “Il liceo Manfredi Azzariti” during September 2015.

YEAR 10 CRIME & PUNISHMENT EXCURSION

ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW

In the last week of term 3, three year ten classes taught by Mr De

Bernardi, Mr Whitefield, and Ms Earl ventured out on an

excursion to the Magistrates Court and the Old Melbourne Gaol.

Students listened to a number of court cases varying from drink

driving, sexual assaults and family violence, to give them more of

an understanding of how courts operate. It was a very interesting

experience and quite confronting. After the courts, students

walked to RMIT cafeteria and enjoyed a lovely lunch outside.

The second part of the day involved the students visiting Old

Melbourne Gaol. Students were guided through the Watch House

and were treated like prisoners, giving them an insight into how it

would have been back in the 19th century. It was a really

interesting and fun experience! It gave students some background

knowledge about how the legal system works and what a possible

career in law could be like.

By Caity Demaio and Merisa Catic 10B

A big congratulations goes to NAOMI FANANI (2ND PRIZE) and KULJIT KAUR BAINS (COMMENDED) who were

successful with their TEXTILES bag projects at this year's ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW SCHOOL COMPETITIONS.

There was stiff competition this year with multiple entries from many schools, so the girls did extremely well to gain an award.

Environmental Awareness Society (EAS) update

A huge thank-you to all who supported the RSPCA cupcake day – we raised a total of $328!

A special thanks to Ms Norwood and Ms Mildenhall who took time and money out at home to bake delicious and creative

cupcakes. Also to Ms Johnson and the Home Economics team for letting us take over S3 and Mrs Drenen who assisted during

the important baking process!

Last, but certainly not least, the passionate members of the EAS who gave up their lunch times and afterschool to help plan,

bake, ice and sell cupcakes. Woolworths at Taylors Lakes Shopping Centre generously donated ingredients for the EAS which

certainly made the day a resounding success.

Onto the next project! If you wish to get involved or have a project you would like to run, please come to S5 during Thursday

lunchtimes.

In terms 1 and 4 the College has a Sunsmart Policy in effect for all Physical Education practical classes.

Term 4 has always been warm and the UV rays are much stronger at this time of year. This policy

requires students to either wear a hat or put on sunscreen in front of their teacher. If your child has an

allergy to regular sunscreen, they may bring their own and apply it in front of their teacher.

Thank you for your co-operation.

MELBOURNE WRITERS’ FESTIVAL 2014

On Wednesday the 27th August, the Taylors Lakes

Secondary College Book Club went to the Melbourne

Writers’ Festival. The excitement in the air was clear as we

gathered together at the station and talked in hushed voices,

not wanting to interrupt the other people. The experience

was almost surreal as we arrived at Flinders Station and

saw the busy bustle of the city. It was such a different scene

to our school. The first event we went to was a talk by

author A.J Betts. It was such a fun and enlightening

experience that ended too soon. We then walked to the

Immigration Museum where we did a workshop with

author Will Kostaskis. We were also allowed to explore the

museum which was so exhilarating and interesting since

none of us had been there before. To end a fantastic day we

went to a conference with authors Claire Zorn and Penny

Tangey. At Book Club we all love reading books so we all

enjoyed getting a chance to meet some of the authors of our

favourite books. We want to thank Ms Earl and all of the

people who made our excursion such a memorable one.

On Thursday 9th October, the PDP class ventured out to Mambourin (Braybrook),

a local disability centre catering for approximately 80 clients. The PDP class

was involved in upgrading the facility by way of painting buildings and general

gardening and mulching. The students undertook the tasks with a great work

ethic and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to communicate and integrate with

the clients. This is one of many projects Taylors Lakes SC has participated in
