Don’t let healthy habits slip #1 It is now half way through the school year and the mornings are cold and dark. However, don’t let this be an excuse to start letting healthy habits slip. It may be tempting to stay in bed for longer and forget about preparing a healthy breakfast and lunch. Research shows that breakfast eaters tend to have healthier diets overall and are more likely to be a healthy weight. Breakfast is also important for your concentration, attention span and energy levels. If you need to, get organised the night before by getting out the bowls, spoons and cereal or muesli. Porridge or baked beans on toast may require a bit more preparation but are healthy and filling choices if you like a hot breakfast on a cold morning. You can also start to prepare your lunch the night before so it’s all ready to go in the morning. Have fresh fruit and vegetables chopped and stored in a container ready to take in your lunchbox in the morning. Sandwiches will keep well in the fridge overnight, so long as ingredients like tomato or beetroot are separated from the bread by a lettuce leaf, slice of cheese or lean meat! You may enjoy a warming thermos of leftovers, such as soup, stew, casserole or pasta and sauce on a cold day. This will require little preparation in the morning, and will provide you with an additional opportunity to enjoy some vegetables!

Merit Scheme

To reward our students’ positive behaviour Tooleybuc Central School runs a strong Merit Scheme. Students are awarded ‘Merit Awards’ during the school year and an accumulation of these merits equates to levels. Bronze Level 10 Merits Silver Level Bronze plus and extra 20 Merits Gold Level Silver plus an extra 30 Merits. Primary students are given a ‘Lucky Dip’ at the achievement of each level. Then they are presented with a certificate at our Whole School Assembly. Secondary students with the highest GEM score in each class receive the Student Of The Fortnight on Assembly. Those students who achieve Gold Level or the correct GEM average are invited to attend our End of Year Merit Excursion.

Secondary News

Sean Connell (Head Teacher) Welcome to a new term at Tooleybuc Central School, I hope everyone’s break was safe and enjoyable. The start of any term is always hectic and in their haste to reacquaint with friends, school equipment is often forgotten and left behind. All students will be better prepared for each day by using their diary and timetable to review the lessons of the day ahead and pack the appropriate equipment. Using their diary to pack the night before, also reminds the students of any up-coming home learning they may have forgotten to complete. Term 3 is a busy time, particularly for the senior students facing the Trial Higher School Certificate. Students in Stage 6 should be establishing a daily revision routine program and seeking assistance from teachers and classmates to establish a fundamental understanding of every aspect of their topics and practising examination questions to ensure they are not caught off guard. By creating a regime of study each day, the student establishes routine behaviours that become habit. This process takes between two and three weeks and avoids stressful cramming or breakdowns that are counterproductive to the students long term mental health throughout this stressful time. On Thursday the students receieved a visit from the Police Liaison Officer discussing the ramifcations and issues surround Social Media, Cyber Bullying and privacy. If any parents or students would like further information regarding the management of privacy settings on social networking sites to minimise the risk of hacking and unwanted distribution of personal information; the NSW Police has provided the following invaluable link www.thinkuknow.org.au Good luck to Shane Foley (Year 10) and Sara Berg (Year 6) competing in the State Cross Country on Friday.

HSIE HSIE – GEOGRAPHY Sean Connell (HSIE Teacher) YEAR 7 Having developed their geographical skills in map reading, navigation and atlases, the students of year 7 are gaining an understanding of the environments of the world, where they may be found and the scope of organisms that may be found in each environment. The students are looking at the fragility of the ecosystems and the need to preserve these habitats for future generations. Starting with a case study on the Polar Regions, the students will be researching

each environment and the risks faced by human development in each area, as well as the difficulties faced by people establishing settlements. YEAR 8 The students of Year 8 are looking at the progression of human development from our very earliest ancestors two hundred thousand years ago to the present day. They are looking at each stage of expansion and the technological achievements as we spread across the globe as well as the challenges of surviving in the diverse range of ecosystems we have colonised from deserts to the arctic and the oceans. We look at the resources needed today and debate human progress versus environmental preservation and hypothesise what is in store for future generations. YEAR 9/10 Year 9/10 have been conducting an in-depth case study of one of Australia’s most well-known environmental attractions; the Great Barrier Reef. Students are studying the diversity of life on the reef from microscopic phytoplankton to dugongs and whales, and the inter-woven relationships established between these species within a broader food chain. The students have identified the impacts humans have had on the area since their earliest arrival to today and how we are protecting the species and areas. The students debated the need for protectionist policies such as the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authorities Green Zones and their impact to industry and employment along the Queensland coast. HISTORY Leeta Rutherford (HSIE Teacher) Year 7 and 8 History have been investigating the ‘Ancient World to the Modern World’. Year 7 History so far have explored the Ancient World including briefly looking at human migration out of Africa. The students had the chance to look at and touch replica skulls of some of these ancient ancestors of humans. The Year 7 have also explored many different aspects of Ancient Egyptian society. For their main assessment task they made artefacts linked to Ancient Egypt. For the rest of this year the Years 7 will be exploring Ancient China and another culture of the Ancient of World that they wish to explore.

REMINDER: ACU offers a similar program (Early Achievers Program). UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE NEWS– STATISTICS – Melbourne is a large university, with over 42,000 students, of whom about 13,000 are international students. In last year’s VTAC applications for courses, Melbourne was students’ first choice for Arts, Biomedicine, Commerce and Science. In world university rankings, Melbourne ranks extremely highly. ACCESS MELBOURNE - Melbourne offers a program called ‘Access Melbourne’ through which students can access courses on lower ATAR’s due to some disadvantage they have experienced. This year 2,530 offers were made to Access Melbourne students. For 2016 entry to Melbourne, Guaranteed Access is offered for these students if they achieve at least78 for Environments or Science,80 for Arts,

88 for Commerce and 95 for Biomedicine. Access Melbourne students are also eligible to apply for the Diploma of General Studies at Melbourne, a possible pathway into a degree.

Students will be able to tailor their degree to suit their requirements, and students from both courses will work more closely together, and with other Fine Arts students. Music will still be offered at both campuses for the present. WHAT IS HEALTH AND BIOMEDICAL INFOMATICS? This is a new area of study which uses information to improve health care and to give insights into the causes of disease. Digital technology in the future will greatly affect health care, as it has banking and insurance, for example. Some of the challenges in medicine are earlier diagnosis, more personalised therapies, better clinical trials, risk profiling, and controlling health system costs. Biomedical information involves nano infomatics, imaging, clinical information and public health information; these can be used to stop people dying due to inadequate IT systems. This is a career for those wanting to combine ICT with biomedical information. See: www.healthcareitnews.com/news/why-informatics-top-new-career.
