Principal Team Report

Deb Gentle Rob Monk Rebecca Williams

Welcome to all students and families. The start of 2020 and the new decade has been busy and very positive. It was very special to start the new year with the news that Jessica Hickford has been awarded Baw Baw Shire Young Citizen of the Year. Congratulations Jessica on a very well deserved award.

At our assembly on the first day, we welcomed 260 Year 7 students, many new students in Years 8 through to 12 and new staff. At my last count we have 1,167 students studying at DSC this year.

I reminded students to remember to live our values of Achievement, Respect, Commitment and Community. With that comes the expectation that students will commit to their learning and the assurance that our staff will support students to accept challenges and grow in their learning.

Our 2020 College Captains, Piper Hastings, Matt Kouris, Jack McConville and Thalia Mitchell spoke about the importance of making the most of the many opportunities available at DSC and about how important it is for students to express their ideas and opinions and encouraged students to participate in the Student Representative Council.

The College captains also welcomed our staff.

VCE EXCELLENCE AWARDS We celebrated the successes of 2019 on the evening of Wednesday 18th December, with the annual College Presentation Evening. It was a very positive way to end the year with many families and staff acknowledging the achievements of students from Year 7 to Year 12.

Achieving your potential in Year 12 does not happen in one year – it is the culmination of at least 12 years of education in the making. That takes commitment from the student and high quality teaching and support from the school and family.

Among the many awards and scholarships presented on the night, eleven of the College’s high achieving Year 12 VCE students were recognised. These students were:

Kate Rinehart was awarded the VCE Baccalaureate. This is an additional form of recognition for students who successfully meet the demands of studying a higher-level mathematics subject and a language in their VCE program. To receive the VCE Baccalaureate Kate satisfactorily completed her VCE including English with a study score of 30 or above with a 32 ; Mathematical Methods; and French (Year 11).

Cayden Deszcz was the College Dux for 2019 and was presented with the Baw Baw Shire Academic Excellence Scholarship. Cade studied:

When he started school, Cade set himself a goal to become an engineer and he has continued on that pathway throughout his 6 years at DSC. He will now see that goal through to the next step as he goes on to study Engineering & Science at Monash University.

2DROUIN SECONDARY COLLEGE - E-NEWS

COMMUNITY EVENTSThe Ficifolia Festival is well underway in Drouin. I hope students take advantage of the many activities on offer.

On 10th February we held a welcome BBQ and Information Evening for the parents of Year 7 students. This evening was a great way for parents to meet other parents and their child’s teachers.

As I write this newsletter, our House Captains are preparing for the Annual Inter-house Swimming Sports to be held on Tuesday 18th February. We are all looking forward to an enjoyable summer day at the Drouin pool and some great competition between the four Houses.

Monday 2nd March is a very important day in our calendar as we will hold our Celebration Assembly to recognise the progress students made in 2019.

And Year 7 Camp on 24th to 26th February is an exciting and important time for our newest students to make new friends and develop independence and confidence.

VOLUNTEERSWe love our volunteers who contribute to the future of our young people in such a variety of ways, from the Lions Club, the CFA, cafeteria volunteers and College Councillors. If you or anyone you know has some time or expertise to share we would love to include them in our college life.

I’m looking forward to continuing our work together in 2020.

MILESTONESWe are fortunate to have many long serving staff at DSC. Mr Don Hill has been teaching Mathematics at DSC for many years. Mr Hill has now retired from teaching to spend more time with his family and working on his farm. DSC thanks Mr Hill for his contribution to the teaching of Maths and the education of our students.

Mrs Melinda McHutchison recently celebrated 30 years since she began teaching at DSC. She began teaching at DSC as a new teacher in 1990 and has been a Year Level Coordinator, Leading Teacher and is still teaching Food Technology, Health and Textiles.

On a final note, congratulations and best wishes to Assistant Principal, Mick Wilson who will be working in a leadership role in a school in China until Term 4.

Young Citizen of the Year- Jessica HickfordCongratulations to Year 9 student Jessica Hickford, who

was named the Baw Baw Shire Young Citizen of the Year for 2020. As can be seen in her nomination, Jessica is a worthy recipient and should be very proud of her achievements.

Award NominationDescribed as always caring, kind, determined, compassionate and a role model for her peers – Jessica runs an impressive list of personal characteristics, academic and sporting achievements.

Jessica participated in the Accelerated Pathway program and has been presented with multiple achievement awards in athletics, swimming, cross country – and even won the Drouin Cricket Club Award for the girls in 2019 for the whole school. Jessica is a keen volunteer and fundraiser, always supporting groups and causes close to her heart.

Jessica’s friends and family are especially proud of her and the strong, kind and caring young woman she is growing up to be. She undoubtedly displays many admirable qualities in a young person.

VACCINATIONS IN 2020The Secondary School Vaccine Program offers free vaccines to Year 7 and 10 students. These vaccines provide protection against:

• Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) – one dose for Year 7 students

• Human Papillomavirus (HPV) – two doses for Year 7 students

• Meningococcal A,C,W,Y – one dose for Year 10 students

Vaccine consent card booklets have been sent home from school with Year 10 students and Year 7 cards were sent out in November 2019 with the orientation day paperwork. Parents/guardians of Year 7 and 10 students need to read the information, complete and return the card regardless of whether or not your child is being vaccinated at school.

The Baw Baw Shire Immunisation Service may contact you about the Secondary School Vaccine Program. Schools are authorised to provide basic parent/guardian contact details to local councils for this purpose. Contact the school by 28 February 2020 if you do not want your contact details given to the Baw Baw Shire Immunisation Service.

To learn more about the Secondary School Vaccine Program, the vaccines, the diseases they protect against, or how you can prepare your child for vaccination, go to www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au

Additionally, the Commonwealth government is funding vaccinations for all children under 20 years of age who missed any scheduled vaccines, including a catch up program for Meningococcal ACWY vaccine for adolescents aged 15-19 years of age who have not already received the vaccine in school. If students have missed vaccines, either in childhood or adolescence, and require catch-up vaccines, they should speak with their Local council or GP.

Accelerated Pathways Program 2021Open to Prospective Year 7 Students in 2021

Drouin Secondary College APP (Accelerated Pathway Program) offers students in Year 7 challenging work that is more closely aligned with their abilities. The program emphasises higher-level thinking skills, problem solving and academic achievement.

Students suited to the programStudents best suited to the program are those who are highly motivated, independent learners, flexible in their thinking, self-motivated, well-organised, and have well-developed literacy and numeracy skills and broad general knowledge.

The APP Program is designed to benefit those students who have shown academic aptitude in one or more specific areas of the curriculum and have high educational aspirations. Students in the APP Program are not necessarily good at everything, but show an ability beyond most of their peers..

The APP differenceAs with all students in Year 7, students in the APP program learn together in their Learning Group for most of their subjects. They are generally taught in a similar way and follow the same curriculum as the other students at their year level, including the full range of arts, technology and sports subjects. However, for some subjects, alternate texts are provided to allow for greater analysis or complexity, and the work is generally more challenging and advanced and encourages higher-level thinking skills. Students in the program also benefit from working in a group of like-minded peers and have access to additional extension and challenge programs.

As with all our classes, students are taught with a wide variety of strategies to allow for the most appropriate to promote their intellectual growth. From research and our experience, students in extension programs are generally more receptive to particular types of teaching strategies and classroom activities.

Selection processAll prospective Year 7 students are welcome to apply for the APP program. Selection is via application, test, NAPLAN, reports and an interview.

How to applyFor more information about applying please attend the information session on Thursday 12th March or contact Ms Laura Croft on (03) 5625 1002.

Exciting news for DSC from the Foods Team!In 2019, Drouin Secondary College and Blackwood Centre for Adolescent Development applied to be part of The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation as a pilot secondary school for 2020. We are thrilled to announce that our applications were successful!

As a College, we have been keenly interested in the Kitchen Garden program for a number of years. This Pilot Program will give us access to first class professional development and hands-on advice and expertise to make our dream of a kitchen garden a reality at long last.

We firmly believe there is a strong link between the engagement of families and academic results. A key motivator for becoming a Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program pilot school is to strengthen the links we can build with our families through the Program. Many of our students come from farming/agricultural families and we have a strong network of people we can link to for students to gain careers advice, and potentially careers in the future, as well as further understanding of real-world farming and food production activities.

This pilot program will also ensure that our students continue the education many have begun in their primary schools. Many of our small feeder primary schools have successful school kitchen gardens programs in place. We aim to use the knowledge of these students to begin our work here at DSC and have started forming links with our primary school garden contacts.

The Foods team enlisted our College maintenance/garden team to claim some space in our established garden beds for our kitchen garden. So far, we have planted a number of citrus trees, native Australian plants, some vegetables and some herbs. We have ear-marked other spaces which may be used for an expansion of our kitchen garden at a later date.

The work we do in our Foods classrooms often sees our students sharing their new skills in food preparation with their families. This year as a Foundation pilot school, we will add the “paddock to plate” aspect to our teaching programs, initially in our Year 7 Foods APP and Year 12 VCAL classes. We will also use some of the produce in our “Food 4 Thought” Hospitality restaurant. As a member of the Pilot Program, we also hope to increase our students, their families and our wider school community’s skills of how to grow, harvest, prepare and share their own fruit and vegetables and choose healthy food options.

Stephanie Alexander AO, Founder of the Kitchen Garden Foundation, believes pleasurable food education programs can help support Aussie teens to form positive food habits for life by helping them find the joy in growing, harvesting and cooking their own meals.

“When you know how to cook, you know that good food doesn’t have to be time-consuming or costly and is the opposite of a chore. Learning to know and love fresh, seasonal, delicious food is as basic as understanding where food comes from and learning a few simple cooking skills. This gives young people a lot of confidence.

“Our program is designed to get students’ hands dirty and experience the thrill of growing their own fruit, vegetables and herbs. Then turning their harvest into delicious meals to share with their classmates. There’s nothing like it to create a sense of pride and achievement.”

If you would like more information about our involvement in the 2020 pilot, please feel free to contact the friendly Foods Team.

Careers News...DSC Careers WebsiteStudents in every year level will be making greater use of the DSC Careers website in 2020. There is a wealth of information on the site for students and parents/guardians. Students are able to use templates to write resumes and cover letters as well as seek information about options such as VCE, VET and VCAL, pathways to TAFE and university courses, interview tips and much more. Go to https://www.drouinsccareers.com/

2019 Year 12 studentsThe last month has seen many of our 2019 VCE and VCAL students receive offers for a wide range of university and TAFE courses while others have gained fulltime employment. We wish our 2019 alumni all the best and encourage them to contact the College with news of their future successes.

Year 10 studentsThese students should be thinking seriously about organising a Work Experience placement for the last week of Term 2: June 22- 26. Students can collect Work Experience Arrangement forms from the Careers Office. Approximately 190 students will be seeking placements so there is hot competition for places.

YEAR 7 READING & LITERACYAll Year 7 students are participating in the Accelerated Reader Program with library staff or are involved in the literacy support program, Cars & Stars.

Accelerated Reader takes place during SURFF and English lessons in the library. With the aid of computerized quizzes, students are placed on a level appropriate to their reading ability.

All students need to be supported at home with a routine of regular reading. At this stage of the year, students should all have selected books at their level and be reading them regularly at home.

Our first students to complete quizzes are: Charlotte Stokes, Claire Williams, Tomas Nestor, Jamieson Thomas, Jessica Redcliffe, Alara-Reha Martin, Alyssa Munckhof, Tyler Jolley, Talise Berryman, Noah O’Farrell, John Stuckey, Benjamin Jankovic, Tess Kealy, Jasmine Norton, Sabrina Mioch.

The target for Semester 1 is to read at least three books and successfully complete quizzes on each.Thank you for supporting your child’s reading.

2019 Primary School Music TourIt was with great pleasure that the music team took out a fantastic group of 29 DSC music students on 9 December 2019 to tour the local Drouin primary schools. This is an excellent way of not only showcasing DSC’s musical talent but it helps promote the College more broadly in the community.

The Primary School Music Tour is an annual ritual, one enjoyed by both our performing students and school students watching performances. The standard of behaviour and performance in what could only be called searing heat was both outstanding and impeccable; we all enjoyed wonderful feedback from staff and students alike who noted excellent performance standards.

We congratulate all of our wonderfully hard-working student musicians and also our music staff who attended, Wes Hopkins, Pete Brown and Yolette Stewart for their involvement. We also thank Mrs Natalia Gunning who organized the day’s proceedings for us. We hope the photos tell a fantastic story!

DOCTORS IN SCHOOLS

The Doctors in Schools program recommenced this week. This is a valuable service for our college community supporting the health and wellbeing of our students.

We have been extremely lucky to secure the services of Central Clinic to support our students. Dr Marilia Neubert and Nurse Laraine Harrison will attend the College on Tuesdays between 10am and 2pm.

Students will make appointments through an online booking system available via Sentral. There will also be one hour during lunchtime where students can ‘drop in’ without an appointment.

The fact sheet attached to this newsletter answers commonly asked questions about access to this program. We at DSC are very excited about the opportunity for students who might normally have trouble accessing a GP to see one here at no cost, and without the need to travel.

If you have further questions that are not answered by the fact sheet attached to this newsletter or the email, please contact Assistant Principal Rebecca Williams.

Dr Marilia NeubertDr. Marilia Neubert practices at Central Clinic in Warragul. She graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 2000 and has a Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Since moving to Melbourne she has worked at the Royal Women's Hospital and at Monash Health. She enjoys antenatal care

and is passionate about women's health. Her other interests also include dermatology & minor surgical procedures.

A busy mum of three, Marilia enjoys spending time with her family, listening to music, dancing, gardening and art.

Nurse Laraine Harrison My name is Laraine Harrison. I have been a registered nurse for a number of years, working at Central Clinic for approximately 18 months.

We moved to Drouin about 3 years ago as one of our sons and his family live in the area. We have two other adult children, a daughter in Cairns and another son in WA. Prior to this move we worked and travelled around Australia for just over 4 years.

This was an amazing experience, meeting and working with many different people along the way. We really are lucky, Australia has so much to offer.

I am now fortunate to be given this opportunity to work at the Drouin Secondary College. To work with you, to acknowledge and address any specific health issues.

We look forward to meeting you, please feel free to come in for a chat when we are around.

Welcome to Dr Marilia Neubert

DOCTORS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

HELPING VICTORIA’S YOUNG PEOPLE ACCESS HEALTH CARE The Victorian Government is making sure young people are receiving the health support, advice and treatment they need to reach their full potential. The $43.8 million Doctors in Secondary Schools initiative is delivering on the Government’s election commitment to fund general practitioners (GPs) to attend 100 Victorian schools to provide medical advice and health care to those students most in need. This initiative will also provide for modern, fit-for-purpose rooms where required. This brochure provides answers to commonly asked questions about access to this program. WHAT IS THE CURRENT LAW ON CONSENT? Victorian law is clear on consent for medical treatment by a GP:

• Young people who are mature minors can consent to their own medical treatment.

• Young people who are not mature minors cannot give consent to their own medical treatment.

As is the case in community GP practice, the GP participating in the Doctors in Secondary Schools program, will assess if a young person is a mature minor with respect to the issue for which they are seeking medical treatment. WHAT IS A MATURE MINOR? Mature minors are young people under the age of 18 years who are deemed capable of seeking and obtaining health care for their particular issue. To give informed consent, a young person must be able to understand what treatment involves, what it is for, why it is needed and why it applies to them as an individual. The young person must also appreciate the risks associated with the treatment and be aware of the other options available, as well as the consequences of not pursuing treatment.

HOW DOES THE GP ASSESS WHETHER A YOUNG PERSON IS A MATURE MINOR? When the GP decides whether to give the young person medical treatment, they will consider:

• Age • Maturity in other areas of their life • Independence – whether they live at home with a

parent or carer, or support themselves • The seriousness of the treatment • The young person’s understanding of why the

treatment is needed, what it involves, treatment options, things that might go wrong (like side effects from drugs, or other complications), and consequences of non-treatment.

WHAT IF MY CHILD IS NOT A MATURE MINOR? In the case of the Doctors in Secondary School program, any young person who wants to make an appointment with the GP can do so. The GP will decide if the young person is a mature minor with respect to the issue for which they are seeking medical treatment. The assessment as to whether a young person is a mature minor may vary for different issues. For example, a GP may decide a young person is mature enough to be able to consent to treatment for a health condition such as asthma, but may not be mature enough to discuss the risks and benefits of anti-depressant medication. If a GP determines that your child is not a mature minor, they will obtain your consent before medical treatment is provided. CAN I COME TO THE APPOINTMENT WITH MY CHILD? Yes, parent or carer involvement is encouraged and the program recognises that as parents or carers you are an important source of information and support for your child in managing the issue for which they are seeing the GP. WHAT IF I DON’T WANT MY CHILD TO SEE A GP? You are encouraged to discuss this with your child and with the school. Generally, all secondary school aged students will be considered mature enough to make a decision to see the GP and the GP will then decide whether the student is a mature minor for the purposes of seeking medical treatment for the presenting issue. This principle

CONSENT AND CONFIDENTIALITY


Version: 18/05/2017

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND CARERS:


applies just the same if your child was seeing the doctor in a local community general practice. WILL THE GP INVOLVE ME? There will be many circumstances where it is desirable or necessary for you to be involved. If your child is not a mature minor, the GP will involve a parent or carer or another responsible adult. If your child is assessed as a mature minor by the GP, the GP may see your child alone for the treatment of their issue, however the GP will often encourage your child to involve you in their care. This approach helps build confidence and responsibility in young people as they grow into young adults, while balancing the need to respect your child’s emerging right to confidential health care with your reasonable expectation about being involved in your child’s health care. UNDER WHAT OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I FIND OUT ABOUT MY CHILD’S GP VISIT? If the GP has determined that your child is considered a mature minor for the medical treatment being sought, their health information must be kept confidential and cannot be disclosed unless it is with your child’s consent or the disclosure of the information is otherwise permitted or required by law. The following are examples of when disclosure of health information is permitted or required by law:

• Your child consents to the disclosure. • The disclosure is necessary to prevent a serious threat

to public health, safety or welfare – e.g. the young person has a disease which must be notified to the Department of Health and Human Services.

• The disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious and imminent threat to any person’s health, safety or welfare.

Examples:

• The young person is at imminent risk of harming themselves.

• The young person is at imminent risk of harming others.

In accordance with these privacy obligations, school staff will not disclose when your child has accessed the GP

unless it is with your child’s consent, or there are some other legal reasons for the disclosure of this information. WHEN CAN MY CHILD GET THEIR OWN MEDICARE CARD? Young people can apply for their own Medicare card when they turn 15 years of age. They need to complete an application form and provide identification, such as a student card or birth certificate, as well as details about the card they are transferring from. WHERE WILL MY CHILD’S MEDICAL RECORD BE KEPT? The medical records will remain the property of the participating GP’s base clinic. CAN THE GP REFER MY CHILD TO OTHER HEALTH SERVICES IF THEY NEED IT? Yes. It is anticipated that referrals will be an important part of this program. The school program lead and nurse will work with the GP and your child to help support them if any referrals are required. In certain cases, you may also be consulted and involved in these referrals. WHAT IF MY CHILD ALREADY HAS A GP? If your child has an existing GP but would prefer to see the GP at their school, your child’s medical records can be transferred. This reflects what is currently undertaken in the broader community. This is important and encouraged, so that continuity of care is promoted across all the health providers a young person sees. If your child is a mature minor, they can consent to the transfer of their medical records. If your child is not a mature minor, you can consent to the transfer of your child’s medical records. WHAT SERVICES WILL THE GP BE PROVIDING? The GPs participating in the Doctors in Secondary Schools program will provide young people with the same services as those GPs in the community, including management of physical health, mental health, and sexual and reproductive health issues. For more information please visit: http://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/programs/health/pages/doctors-secondary-schools.aspx or email Doctors in Secondary Schools at: [email protected] with any questions.

INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS:


HELPING VICTORIA’S YOUNG PEOPLE ACCESS HEALTH CARE The Victorian Government is making sure young people are receiving the health support, advice and treatment they need to reach their full potential. The $43.8 million Doctors in Secondary Schools initiative is delivering on the Government’s election commitment to fund general practitioners (GPs) to attend 100 Victorian schools to provide medical advice and health care to those students most in need. This initiative will also provide for modern, fit-for-purpose rooms where required. This brochure provides answers to commonly asked questions about access to this program. AM I ALLOWED TO GO THE GP BY MYSELF? Yes, there is no law in Victoria that says you have to be a certain age before you can visit a general practitioner (GP) on your own. In most circumstances, you can make an appointment to visit a GP via the Doctors in Secondary Schools Program on your own. If you go alone, your GP will need to make sure you are mature enough and able to understand any medical advice or information they give you during the appointment. The GP will chat to you about why you are there and decide if you are able to consent to treatment yourself, or if they think your parents or carers should be involved. Sometimes the GP will want to talk to your parents or carers so they can better understand what is going on in your life and how they can help. WHEN CAN I CONSENT TO MEDICAL TREATMENT? There is no fixed age at which you can consent to medical treatment on your own. It always depends on what kind of medical treatment you need, and whether your GP thinks you fully understand what is involved. When your GP decides whether to give you medical treatment, he or she will consider: • Your age and maturity

• Your independence – whether you live at home with a parent or carer, or support yourself

• The seriousness of the treatment • Whether you understand why the treatment is

needed, what it involves, and things that might go wrong (like side effects from drugs, or other complications).

You can consent to the treatment if the GP thinks you understand the advantages and risks of the treatment. If, after considering these things, your GP believes you are able to weigh up the advantages and risks of the treatment and then make a decision, you will be able to give consent. If the GP determines that: • you do not have the maturity to see him or her alone,

and • you are unable to make your own decisions about the

health issue you are seeing them about, the GP will get your parent’s or carer’s consent before continuing with your treatment.

They will usually talk with you first about how they will have that discussion with your parents or carers.

WILL YOU TELL MY MUM AND DAD OR CARER ABOUT THE MEDICAL ADVICE AND TREATMENT? If the GP decides you are mature enough to see them alone, make your own decisions and consent to any treatment, he or she is usually not allowed to tell your parents or carers that you saw them or anything that was talked about during your visit, without your consent. This is called confidentiality. They are also not allowed to say anything about your medical appointment even if your parents or carers ask for information. However, if you are under 14 years of age and listed on your parents’ Medicare card or have a duplicate Medicare card, your parents will be able to access information from Medicare (online, on the phone and via mail) about your appointments. For example, they will be able to access information showing the date of your appointments and the name of the medical practitioner that you have seen. If you are

CONSENT AND CONFIDENTIALITY


Version: 18/05/2017

INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS:


concerned about your appointment being kept confidential, you should talk to the GP about this at the start of the consultation. In some situations, the GP may want you to involve your parents or carers or teachers, and they will discuss why this is important with you, and may encourage you, or help you to talk with them. This will be discussed as needed on a case by case basis. Also in some cases, your GP might be worried about your health and safety, or that of others, and may be required to tell your mum, dad, carer or another person. These include:

• If you intend to harm yourself • If you intend to harm someone else • If someone is harming you.

However, in most of these cases the GP will talk with you first about whom they need to tell. WILL YOU TELL MY MUM AND DAD IF I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT? We will only tell your mum and dad if you have consented to us doing this or if we think you are not mature enough

to make decisions about your own health information. We will talk to you first, if your parent has called requesting this information. We will also remind you that if you are under 14, through Medicare, your parents will be able to access information about your appointments. CAN I BRING A FRIEND TO THE APPOINTMENT? Yes, if you feel more comfortable going with a friend, parent or carer, that is okay. HOW DO I GET A MEDICARE CARD? Usually you are listed on your parents’ Medicare card. If you are 15 years or older, you can get your own Medicare card by applying to Medicare Australia. Information about how to do this will be available through the GP at your school. For more information please visit: http://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/programs/health/pages/doctors-secondary-schools.aspx or email Doctors in Secondary Schools at: [email protected] with any questions.
