2019 SCHOOL CAPTAINS.
It gives me great pleasure to announce the 2019
School Captains for Reservoir High School. They
are Brian James, Ananke Arneaud, Weam Tahar and
Amber Robertson. (Above photo left to right)
The selection process for this important role in the
school required the applicants to firstly produce a
written submission and then complete an interview.
The interview panel consisted of Staff and students
of the school. They were asked some very hard
questions by the students and all of the applicants
presented with poise, confidence and high levels of
communication skills.
“We have every confidence that our four Captains will be
outstanding leaders in the school.”
Their ideas were excellent, (as Principal of a school
it is great to hear the ideas and thoughts of the
students as they see it) and it was a very tough
choice for the panel of staff and students to make.
We have every confidence that our four Captains will
be outstanding leaders in the school and exceptional
role models to both students in our school, but also
everyone in our school community.
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL (SRC) LEADERS 2019
The SRC at Reservoir is unique in that every student
in the school can be part of the SRC and attend
meetings. This is so that every voice in the school can
be heard. If students wish to raise a concern or have
a great idea, they are welcome to come to SRC and
raise it, or they can contact one of the SRC Leaders or
Captains who will raise it on their behalf.
This past week has seen the application and
interview process for the selection of the SRC
Leaders and Captains for 2019. I am also pleased
to announce that we have selected three Captains
of the SRC and 5 Leaders as part of the Leadership
Team. The students are-

RESERVOIR’S GOT TALENT
This week also saw the brilliant end of year Music
concert. Outstanding. The breadth of instruments
and voices, the exceptional confidence of our young
people and the amazing talent and skills entertained
the large crowd. We recommend the Performing
and Visual Arts, including Music to students for so
many reasons. Firstly, it supports the academic
development of a young person. Secondly, it creates
a point of connection with the school, teachers
and other students. It is a reason to come to school
outside of the regular learning. Finally, it is the
enjoyment factor: both the enjoyment in making
music or art, and the enjoyment of others of hearing
it. This week’s concert was enjoyable and it was great
to see the joy on the face of both the performers, and
the parents and families in the audience. Earlier this
term we held the Dance and Drama showcase. The
showcase highlighted a wide range of performances
of students from Year 7 to Year 12. Well done to the
Music and Performing Arts Team, the parents of the
participants and the students for these outstanding
events.

Instrumental Music 2019There is still time to enrol in Instrumental Music for
2019. Reservoir High School offers tuition in violin,
guitar, vocals, keyboards and yes, drums. If new or
existing students are interested, please contact either
Julie Dellal at the school or the General Office.
DOCTORS IN SCHOOLS PROGRAM
Thanks to Nina Rossini and Elaine Guerra for
escorting two of our Year 10 students, Jeralyn and
Kirsten to the 2018 Annual Youth Health Conference.
Jeralyn and Kirsten spoke to the conference of
doctors, politicians and health workers on the
success of the Reservoir High School Doctors in
School’s Program. This Victorian Department of
Education initiative is a brilliant program and starting
to spread nationally. Well done to Kirsten and Jeralyn
for not only representing the school so well, but also
the state of Victoria.
DEADLY DAY OF SCIENCE
Earlier this week a group of students from Reservoir
High School attended the Deadly Day of Science at
Latrobe University. The students reported a great day
of hands on Science activities and learning, listening
to Indigenous students speak about their pathways
and learning about university life and careers.
HEADSTART PROGRAM
Headstart is a new initiative from the State
Government to increase the number of students
undertaking SBATs while at school. There are three
components to the Headstart program-
-Flexible delivery of VCAL and VCE to assist in
maximising time on the job, and with a strong focus
on literacy and numeracy attainment;
-Quality training delivered in a way that matches time
on the job to support achievement of competencies;
and
-Maximised time in employment, with time on
the job increasing each year in order to support
genuine progression through the apprenticeship or
traineeship.
Reservoir High is one of the ten foundation schools in
the North East Melbourne cluster. The program has
potential to really support students on their pathway
and ensure that students complete their secondary
school education and are work ready for their futures.
VCAL MURAL
The VCAL class of 2018 have worked hard to
construct a mural on the outside of the Senior School
building. I was really impressed with the design and
construction process and the high level of teamwork
and communication skills (both vital 21st Century
skills) used to complete the project. The mural

HALLOWEEN HITS THE JUNIOR SCHOOL
Thanks to all students who played along with the
Halloween theme and came ‘trick or treating’ in the
Junior School. It was terrific to see so many students
dressing up for the occasion. All students enjoyed
the large number of treats on offer throughout the
day!!
YEAR 7 & 8 PIT GYMNASTICS
All Year 7 & 8 students have been participating in a
two week Gymnastics unit at PIT Gym in Mill Park
in recent weeks as part of the Physical Education
Curriculum. The experienced instructors have
been putting the students to the test with activities
ranging from uneven bars, rings, mini trampoline,
large trampolines, beams, floor exercises and so on.
One of the more entertaining activities for students
was jumping into the large foam pits and trying to dig
their way out.
The students in general loved the gymnastics unit
and thrived on putting their skills to the test and
trying to out ‘bounce’ their class mates. Great fun
had by all!!
SEMESTER 2 MUSIC SHOWCASE NIGHT
Congratulations to all Year 7 & 8 students who
shone at our recent Music Showcase night. All
students have been working very hard throughout
the semester and it was a proud night watching all
of them performing in front of family, peers and staff.
They were all amazing!!

Reservoir High Newsletter | Term 4, Issue 6DEBATING Page 8
The 6 week debating program run by the Debaters
Association of Victoria (DAV) was a great experience
in which we learned about ourselves, team work,
effort and determination, and of course, debating
itself.
During the program, we learnt how to work with
others, not just our friends, but others who we have
never worked with before. We had to learn to trust
our team members and incorporate their opinions so
that we were effective. As the saying goes: If you want
to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Thus, teamwork played a huge part in our successes
of winning the debate.
A team had to cooperate, get along and be fair in
order for them to successfully prepare an effective
side. This involved compromise, helping each other
when needed, and maintaining focus. Not working
with our friends played a huge part, as sometimes,
if you work with your friends you will most likely get
distracted and won’t meet the deadlines. That is why
if you work with different people who have different
abilities and skills, you have a fair chance of winning.
It’s quite interesting to say that during debating
we learned about ourselves. We learned what our
abilities are, what our strengths and weaknesses are,
and many other things that could be as long as a
dictionary. By working together, we were able to get
constructive feedback from our team members, and
this helped as see things about ourselves and skills
that we may not have been aware of before.
Debating encouraged us to speak in front of people
we had never seen, it gave us confidence, and it
showed us our strengths. We had to experience trial
and error. What I mean by this is that we had to try
different speaker positions and strategies, and this
helped us uncover our strengths and weaknesses.
Debating taught us to speak in front of others,
become more confident, try new things and embrace
our strengths while also working on improving our
strengths.
“As the saying goes: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go
far, go together”.
We also, obviously, learned about debating.
We learned about how debating works, how it’s
structured, how speeches are constructed, and
many other things. For example, in debating there
are the 3 Ms: Matter, Method and Manner. For most,
these were new terms which we learned about in
class and during the DAV workshops, which were
held afterschool at Parade College. Manner is how
you present: your voice projection, pace and pauses,
body language, how you emphasise words and use
your tone. Matter is what you are talking about: the
range and quality of your arguments, how clear and
detailed your arguments and explanation is, how
relevant your evidence is to support your arguments.
Lastly, Method is the structure of your actual
speech: how you signposted, the logical structure
of the different parts, using TEEL in your arguments,
how you rebutted the other team, using the right
language and ensuring your speech is persuasive.
Debating took lots of effort and time, including class
time, lunchtimes, and after school. It was an intense
few weeks, but greatly rewarding.

YEAR 10 FORMAL
The annual Year 10 Formal continues to confound
audience expectations. Now in its 26th year, the
event’s organisers drew inspiration from the revival
in interest in legendary rock band Queen sparked by
the smash hit film Bohemian Rhapsody.
The gang was all there: shaggy-maned lead guitarist
Brian May (Mr Vass), uber-cool bass player John
Deacon (Ms Best), sneering drummer Roger Taylor
(Mr Ripoli) and preening, flamboyant frontman
Freddie Mercury (Mr Lyras). The startled audience
was treated to a pulsating medley of Queen
standards, led by Mr Vass performing a Queen-
inspired rendition of the 20th Century Fox Fanfare,
followed by our crew’s precise rendition of the
band’s signature tune Bohemian Rhapsody, before
unleashing inspired, thumping versions of Another
One Bites the Dust and We Will Rock You, which had
the crowd primed for a great night’s partying.
Everyone had a wonderful night, with students
Jerelyn Temple and Kyara Reading presenting
heartfelt awards to their peers and the staff giving
the students a run for their money in the energetic
dancing stakes. The night ended as all good rock gigs
should- with the crowd clamouring for more…and
everyone wondering what theme our unpredictable,
crazy crew will dazzle everyone with next year.
Only one way to find out: BE THERE!!!
Studentss and staff will like to thank Mr Lyras for
organizing the great event.

Dear parents/guardians,
Finishing with a bang!!
This past week has seen the 2018 Senior School wrap
up for another year.
Let’s start with the event of the year on every social
calendar, the 2018 Year 12 formal. Students and
staff enjoyed an evening out at Normanby House
Reception Centre. It was a great evening where
students and staff could let their hair down and
celebrate a year of hard work. The students all looked
stunning and could rival the best of Hollywood on a
red carpet.
Wednesday November 21 was also the final Year 12
exam at the school (or anywhere for that matter).
It’s been a long four week process and the students
displayed a great sense of maturity and drive during
the exams. Majority of the exams they walked out
with smiles on their faces feeling confident on what
they had just completed (the faces looked nervous to
begin with). December 14 the results will be released
and I hope all students are happy with what they
receive and know there’s always a pathway to where
they want to go.
The Year 11 students also had their exams recently
and they also approached these with maturity and
took them very seriously. The results I’m seeing so far
are quite positive so that’s a good sign for next year.
Last week the students began their Year 12 journey
by completing jumpstart and should have a good
understanding on what next year will bring for them.
The holidays are a great time to prepare for the year
ahead and complete any holiday homework they
have received.
From everyone in the Senior School, we hope you
have a great festive season and look forward to
seeing those who will be back next year when we
start it all over again.
Yours sincerely,

On Wednesday November 14 2018 Linda Angeloni
from the State Library of Victoria visited Reservoir
High School. We were one of a group of State
Government Schools and Private Schools that were
approached to take part in a research task.
Year 9 & 10 SEAL Humanities classes and their
teachers were part of this initiative. The research
finding will be linked into a multimillion dollar
redevelopment of State Library library spaces and
programs.
“We were one of a group of State Government Schools and Private Schools that were approached to take part in a research task.”
Students were surveyed for their insights into
research in our modern age in a creative and
interesting double period session. The workshop
involved testing, ideation and small group
discussions, modelling aspects of the design thinking
process to students. Teachers were interviewed on
how they felt sample approaches would work on
students.
Both students and staff found it a very engaging
process. The presenters really worked well with our
students and we look forward to seeing the final
results.

Reservoir High recently received an invitation from Dr
Lena Sanci from the faculty of Medicine at Melbourne
University, with the approval from the Department of
Education, for two of our students to attend the Youth
Health Conference at the Marriott Hotel in Surfer’s
Paradise so that they could be part of the keynote
address of Dr Lena Sanci. She was there to outline
and promote the benefits of the Doctors in Schools
Program that is currently being implemented in over
100 schools in Victoria.
It was a great privilege for Kirsten Logronio and
Jerelyn Temple to be selected to present the
student voice on this initiative. With their genuine
and heartfelt approach, they won over an audience
of more than 300 Queensland participants from all
sectors of the medical field – doctors, social workers,
psychologists, university medical student, teachers
and other people interested in youth health matters.
(Below are some comments from Dr Lena Sanci) “Again I cannot re-iterate enough what a major impact Kirsten and Jerelyn had on the audience and what
Youth Health Conference On The Gold Coast
an asset to the program it was to have them present with me on that day. The power of the youth voice is overwhelming and their authentic and heartfelt feedback would make the Premier proud of what the program is achieving.
At the end, their responses to my questions show that from their perspective the program is also de-stigmatising help-seeking, normalising help-seeking if feeling unwell, increasing health literacy and connectedness to the school, and commitment to health care:
‘What effect have you noticed at school since it started?
‘We care about each other more and suggest ‘go see the doctor’ if someone is feeling bad.’
‘What reaction did other students have if they knew someone had gone to the Doctor?’
‘Well initially they would hide it but now they are happy to share it and no one cares if you have been to see
the doctor.’
Reservoir High Newsletter | Term 4, Issue 6 YOUTH HEALTH CONFERENCE Page 13
‘Has it had any other effect on the students?’
‘We ask health questions more in class even of the teachers and teachers happier to answer.’
‘And for final word, this program depends on a lot of partnerships and other pieces of the puzzle, if one falls over it might put it at risk - what would you do if we took the program away?’
‘We would escalate through school council to get it back… We would protest and even try to bring the doctor back ourselves’!!
The audience were also impressed by the amount of
thought and teamwork that has gone into the whole
program and very envious of Victoria!! Our challenge
now is to accurately capture whether these sort of
outcomes are occurring across all 100 schools.
Reservoir is also very fortunate to have a very
dedicated GP in the program and she should be
treasured! But indeed also the school’s health and
wellbeing leads are also fantastic. We know this
because the wonderful doctor also services another
school where the school program lead has changed
and there has been a changeover of three principals
in the year, and consequently not as many students
are supported to attend.”Lena Sanci | Head / Associate Professor MBBS., PhD., FRACGP

Language learning enhances first language literacy,
critical analysis, communication and problem solving.
We live in a world of increased mobility between
countries for work and leisure. Learning a second
Language helps to prepare students for the twenty-
first century, where they will be able to engage
with, acknowledge and value cultural differences.
Learning more than one language has never before
been more relevant or important as our everyday
lives become more globalised and interconnected.
HIGHLIGHTS THIS YEAR INCLUDED:
• Year 7s were entertained by the hilarious
comedy act ‘Mission Gnocchi’. It has a huge success
and students liked it because it “brought together
many elements of drama and used both English and
Italian. It was funny and incorporated the audience”.
The use of humour enabled students to “learn how to
pronounce Italian words and what they mean.”
• Year 8s utilized the home economics facilities
to cook pasta. It was agreed by all the students
that the lesson was...delizioso! Many students took
the recipe home to replicate them at home-Buon
appetito
Ciao,• Year 8 Students enjoyed a lovely Spring day
at Lygon Street, Carlton. They visited the ‘Museo
Italiano’, a museum dedicated to the contribution
of Italians to Australia. They discovered facts, like
how the Italians introduced espresso machines to
Australia. After they walked down ‘Little Italy’ to see
the impact of Italian migration, not before stopping at
a pizzeria for lunch. With a gelato in hand we finished
the afternoon on a sweet note.

Lygon Street ExcursionOn a rainy (and later sunny) Friday of November,
mine and other Year 8 classes had a fascinating
experience learning about the Italian culture, outside
of class. The long wait of the one hour tram ride
was worth it. Because as soon as we went off the
tram, we had a 20 minute walk ahead of us. Lastly
we arrived, standing near the only modern doors
on the street near Lygon. Once Mr Sirianni told us
something and gave us a booklet, we were finally
able to have a look inside the new-fashioned, state-
of-the art history of Italy. As boring as it might seem,
we found out amazing stuff. There were a huge
number of immigrants from Italy to Australia, a lot
of them making their own changes here, like one,
installed one of the first coffee machines, and another
grew up to be a famous cricketer. A movie on a giant
screen told us about the young immigrants and their
experience in our country. There were even displays
of the tools the Italians brought from their country
or made here. Some of these are- canning tools,
clippers and an accordion. After everyone filled out
their booklet, we were ready to go for the real treat.
Brunetti was only a short walk away and the place
looked amazing. Some ordered gelato as it was
a very dry day, however I wanted the great Italian
desserts. My fruit cake tasted amazing, however a
little over-sweetened. After a fulfilled morning tea,
we went straight to lunch. Another short walk. The
little restaurant managed to fit us all in and after a
long wait we got the pizza (which was the usual –
Hawaiian and Margherita). It was bigger than any
pizzeria would serve you and in 5 minutes everyone
was full. Another 20 minutes and we were out of
there, with a gelato in our hand and the sun on our
face (the rain had stopped) walking around Lygon
Street. The park nearby was the meeting place and
everyone got there earlier. Thanks to Charlotte Carter
from 8D almost everyone got a little cycling done on
the day. After a few group photos and our class (8D)
photo, the teachers had come for us. Everyone had
had enough for the day, and were all ready to leave.
PASTA DI CASA
Year 8 Italian classes have been busy making pasta
from scratch. They made the dough, rolled it out and
cut various shapes. All the hard work was worth it,
the pasta was perfetto e delizioso.
A big thanks to Ms Guerra, Ms Ryan and Ms Fairfax
for helping out.

Dear Reservoir High community,
Last Tuesday we held our ”Spring Music Showcase” to
a near full audience in our fantastic Performing Arts
Centre.
All the performers and staff did a sensational job.
We had 24 acts involving 75 students. We rocked
out to “You Give Love a Bad Name”, were taken back
to Paris for a rendition of Eric Satie’s “Gymnopedie
number 1” and you couldn’t forget the piano solo
of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. To host the night we had
Kevin and Patrick and all of the fancy sound, lighting
and curtain work was done by our very calm and
capable student tech crew. Very professional indeed!
A big thanks to the Instrumental Music staff… Myself
and all of the students are very lucky to have such
talented musicians and dedicated teachers to
put on Concerts like last night. We even put on a
smorgasbord of gourmet food!
Spring Music ShowcaseWe also released our “triple” CD. Students had a
good laugh at the photos and how they sounded on
a professional CD!!
“Last Tuesday we held our ”Spring Music

On Monday, November 19th the Year 9 Advance
class visited Latrobe Village for our annual Christmas
Celebration. The students performed a Christmas
story, the student choir led Christmas carols and
songs and Christmas jokes were told.
The students then shared a Christmas themed
morning tea with the residents and our Santa (Nathan
Hibbins) handed out presents and cards. If we weren’t
in the Christmas spirit prior to this event we certainly
were afterwards!! We would like to thank Michael
and Kathryn and all the residents for their continued
support of our activities and for spending time with
and sharing their experiences with our students.
