Senior School Developments

W elcome to this edition of the newsletter. With many students looking at subjects and

pathways for next year and beyond, I thought that this edition would be a good one to speak about our Senior School and what we are doing for our students.

Just recently there have been some very large developments in education in South Australia. At Central Yorke School students engage and embrace diverse experiences, activities, and learning opportunities, both within and outside of the formal learning environment. These conditions for learning help them to build the skills, qualities and capabilities that will enable them to thrive, not only for school, but for life.

Capabilities including problem solving, creativity, resilience and teamwork will equip each student for a dynamic and unpredictable future. Further, building in our students the belief that they can change the world and make it a better place by their actions is central to supporting students to achieve their potential and beyond.

“Young people will need a broad base of skills, values and knowledge to become successful lifelong learners. Our senior secondary schooling system must continue to adapt to fulfil this modern role.”

SACE STRATEGIC VISIONThe SACE Board has just released their Strategic Vision (sace.sa.edu.au/thrive) and I want to share with you an excerpt from this vision, describing the elements that comprise a thriving learner. The vision aligns with the heartbeat and soul of Central Yorke School and our commitment to create the conditions for learning to stretch every learner. I have listed the six elements of a thriving learner as reflected in the SACE Board’s Strategic Vision below:

Human connectedness Here is some food for thought.

‘When there is human connectedness, there is a place for everyone at the table.’ ‘Fostering human connection,

fosters learning.’ ‘It’s the opposite of individualism.’

What is human connectedness to you? At Central Yorke it’s the glue that sticks all the elements of a thriving learner together.

Agency Having agency means participating in active learning rather than passive learning and trying to work things out for yourself. It is also being willing to experiment, learn, fail, and then try again. This is something that is central to us and something we really foster in the SACE.

Belonging Belonging is about being included and feeling included. A person with belonging says, ‘we will do better if we work together.’ It can draw a person towards where they can make the most effective contribution. Without a sense of belonging, can anyone really thrive in this world?

Ability to transfer learning Transfer can be defined as the ability to adapt prior learning and apply it in new situations and circumstances. Is embedding transfer in students’ core business for educators in the 21st Century?

Parents are asked to

drop off and pick up their students at the school gates and not enter the site.

Deep understanding and skilful action Some teachers say that deep understanding and skilful action happens when classrooms are student-centred, where they can take charge of their learning and make connections to their world outside of the classroom. How do we reach a deeper level of understanding? And can you see the connections with the other elements of thrive?

Zest for Life (lifelong learning) Zest for life and lifelong learning go hand in hand. Some phrases used to characterise a person with a zest for life include

‘Being curious, asking questions, engaging with the head and the heart, seeking connections.’

The Shergold review was timely in a world that is ever changing. It was very reassuring for us as it supported a lot of the work and redevelopment that we have already been doing.

If you do have any further questions about SACE and our senior school, please do not hesitate to get in contact with Scott Moore or myself to support your child with their learning.

Until next time.

Literacy update

A nd just like that we are halfway through the term. This year we have had literacy at the forefront

of our game plan in the primary. We have introduced several new programs, using research driven and evidence based practice from Macquarie University. These include classroom programs and small group intervention.

Our students have worked diligently on their literacy skills and are now preparing for department based standardised testing this term.

Our Reception to Year 2 students will look at their Running Records for reading, Year 1 students undertake the Phonics Screening Check to assess for understanding between letters and sounds, and

all students undertake the annual Progressive Achievement Tests for Reading Comprehension and Mathematics.

I look forward to seeing our student outcomes and wish them all the best in achieving personal success.

ATTENDANCE Attendance and engagement at school has a clear and direct link for student success. I would like to highlight the following primary students for achieving 100% attendance for Semester One. This is a fantastic effort and I commend them for persisting in their studies.

August 20 | 2020 7

Reading at HomeTo help your child with reading at home I’d like to highlight a technique that our teachers and classroom support staff use here at CYS.

The Reinforced Reading approach consists of three components: Pause, Prompt and Praise.

Setting the scene:• When continuing a book ask what

has happened so far. • When reading a new book ask

what they think the book might be about.

• Identify novel/interesting words and discuss what they mean.

Pause • Provide your child with the

opportunity to self-correct when they make an error by:

• Pausing for up to five seconds or waiting until the end of the sentence

Prompt • If your child does not self-correct

after pausing, offer a general phonic prompt: “Have a look at the letters in that word again.”

• If the general phonic prompt is unsuccessful, offer a second specific phonic prompt: “Look at the letters ‘igh’, what sound do they make?” or “You have the first and the last sounds correct, look at the middle sound.”

• If your child is still unsuccessful after two prompts: Tell them the unknown word and read on

Praise • Praise frequently and explicitly,

stating exactly what they are doing correctly

• Praise when: Your child reads a word correctly, your child makes an error but then self-corrects, your child reads a word correctly after you have prompted them or your child reads a sentence, a paragraph, or a page without an error

Recapping Ask the student for a brief summary at the end of the session:

Who? What? When? Why? How?

O n Friday 14th August we received a special visit from Malcolm McInerney to present

Central Yorke School with its Premier’s Anzac Spirit Schools Prize Award. Mr McInerney works within the Department of Education’s Learning Improvement Division and he is responsible for the judging process and organising the study tour.

CONGRATULATIONSThis is the second year that a student from Central Yorke School has won this prize and we congratulate Harrison Geater-Johnson on his achievement.

His entry was ranked highly within the state wide competition which included Department, Catholic and Independent Schools and demonstrated the academic potential of our students.

BEST ENTRIES YETMr McInerney emphasised that this year saw its best entries yet, and for Harrison to rank so highly is a testament to his work ethic and commitment to learning.

Students in Year 9 began their research in Term 4, 2019 and many chose to investigate family relationships and sources of information over the school holiday period.

Harrison, along with many other students, conducted interviews with relatives who had knowledge and artefacts pertaining to their serviceperson’s life and wartime experience.

Here is a short excerpt Harrison’s 1500 word essay:

Private William Gepp Woolcock (MM)April 30th, 1892 - March 30th, 1918

43rd Infantry Battalion - Australian Imperial Force SN: 204

“...Your son was hit in the back. The enemy was shelling very heavily. I pulled your son in a gutter and dressed his wound … Will's last words were, "Tell my comrades and my people I did my bit." Never were words more truly spoken.”

These were the last words of William Gepp Woolcock, spoken while succumbing to wounds received at the Somme in France. These words would provide little comfort to his family anxiously waiting on the home front for news and letters of his survival.

Woolcock served as a stretcher-bearer and band member for the 43rd Battalion on the Western Front. Often when Australia commemorates World War I, the emphasis is placed on the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli and those who served in non-combatant roles.

As a nation, we are transfixed by the birth of a fighting nation on the shores at Gallipoli and consequently, the heroics of the Western Front are often lost. Battles on the Western Front, specifically at Villers-Bretonneux, were where the war was won and Australian soldiers played a large part in winning the war in France and Belgium.

Woolcock was born on April 30th, 1892, in Adelaide to parents Sarah and Thomas Woolcock and was one of six children. In his early years, Woolcock lived with his parents at Broken Hill and received his education at Broken Hill District School.

CYS Newsletter 1310

He spent his spare time with his girlfriend, Ethel May, in Adelaide or at the shores of Wallaroo on the Yorke Peninsula. William and Ethel comforted each other and were planning to get married before the outbreak of World War I.

Woolcock was stretchering a man to safety during an attack at the Somme when he was fatally wounded by a shell blast. He was wounded twice in the abdomen and once in the back whilst carrying a wounded comrade out of no man’s land. He was in the vicinity of Sailly-le-Sec and died the following day.

Stretcher-bearing teams embodied the spirit of mateship as they worked together to carry the wounded to life-saving medical aid. The close bond of mateship between Woolcock and Medlin, another stretcher-bearer, is outlined in Medlin’s letter to Sarah Woolcock, who wrote of Woolcock’s perseverance as a stretcher-bearer and concern for his wounded:

“Wherever there was danger, wherever there were wounded, he was there, and his was the strong arm ready to proffer assistance. He was the strong, brave heart that stood all hardships. I truly say I lost a good cobber, and you can ask any of the battalions and they will tell you he was second to none on the battlefield, and among the wounded he was as tender as a woman.”

Stretcher bearers also played within Military bands, which are often overlooked in our collective memory of war; however it was their role to cheer comrades up and build a sense of mateship and togetherness within their battalions. Bands were appreciated for their sense of humour and cheering their audiences up, especially when aboard long voyages (Cronk, 2017).

As our collective memory evolves, will we remember the sacrifice and contribution of stretcher-bearers and military bands, or continue to leave their story untold?

STUDY TOUR CHANGESThe Premier’s Anzac Spirit Schools prize Study Tour was destined for France in 2020 where Harrison would tour battlefields and memorials on the Western Front. However, due to Covid-19 travel restrictions the tour is now heading to Darwin and Canberra where he will investigate Australia’s involvement in World War II and participate in a service at the French Embassy.

FORMAL PRESENTATIONHarrison will receive his formal award from the Premier Stephen Marshall during a ceremony at Anzac House on September 28th.

At Central Yorke School we embody the values of Learning Together, Making a Difference and would like to thank all family and community members for supporting our Year 9 students to complete this historical research.

If you are interested in finding information on a family member who has served, you can access the Virtual War Memorial Australia website.

Open Boys Football

O n Tuesday the 4th of August, the Central Yorke Football Academy (CYFA) and other students from

across Yorke Peninsula played in the first round of the Open Boys Knockout Football Competition.

The boys played three games in a round robin style against Burra/Eudunda/Riverton (BER) Schools combined, Clare High School (CHS) and Balaklava High School (BHS).

BLYTH OVAL GAMEThe first game was played at Blyth Oval against BER. The CYFA started fast, with Byron Hart kicking the opening 2 goals of the game in the first 5 minutes. The boys used this momentum to power over the opposition, with the final score CYFA 7.3 defeating BER 0.5.

CLARE OVAL GAMEThe team then travelled to Clare Oval to take on Clare High School. CHS took control of the game early and had a 4-goal lead at three quarter time. After Xenos Petch laid a big tackle in the last quarter, the boys increased their intensity around the ball and kicked two goals within 5 minutes. Unfortunately, time became the issue with the final score CYFA 4.2 defeated by CHS 6.4.

BACK TO BLYTHThe final game was back at Blyth Oval against Balaklava High School. BHS were older and stronger and took control from the first bounce. The boys tried hard, but physically and structurally were outplayed. BHS finished the game 11.11 defeating CYFA 1.2.

TOP PLAYERSAngus Clifford looked dangerous all day, reading the play behind the ball and providing speed out of the backlines. Tyson Crowell was the best of our forwards, taking strong marks and kicking 5 goals throughout the day. Bill Bornholm, Koby Poulton, Lachlan Whittaker and Angus Nowlan were all consistent across the three games.

It was pleasing to see boys from across Yorke Peninsula come together and represent Yorke’s with professionalism and pride. I would like to thank Grant Keleher, Chris Cook, Gavin Moore and Ruth Nowlan for their help on the day.

Sophie's Big ChopHello!

My name is Sophie and I am a SRC member in year 10 at Central Yorke School . I have made the decision to "make a difference" by cutting and donating my hair to be made into a wig for someone who has lost their hair due to chemotherapy or other medical conditions. My aim is to also raise $300 or more, with the money going towards the "Hair with Heart charity."

Along with Miss Hayden , I'll be cutting off 35.5cm of my hair at the SRC End-of-Term Assembly. We'll also be auctioning off the right to wield the scissors, with any money raised going to the SRC.

Wigs cost families up to $6,000, lasting 1-2 years, meaning families can spend tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of wigs throughout a child’s youth . By making a donation to Variety - the Children's Charity, you can help provide a wig or other vital equipment to a child in need. Thank you for supporting my goal and helping kids in need.

Sophie Heinrich

You can help Sophie by donating here: hairwithheart.variety.org.au/fundraisers/sophieheinrich/hair-with-heart

Goat WashingAn entertaining way to spend a wet Tuesday morning! With time running out until the Kadina Livestock event, our Year 9 class took on the challenge of washing our goats for the first time on a wet and windy Tuesday morning.

We stayed dry under the shelter of the steer shed, then took the goats into the Ag classroom for a thorough brush and blowdry!

We even used the steer’s air blower for some extra fast drying – but we had to make sure the goats were tethered securely so they didn’t blow away!

In the end, the result was a team of beautifully washed and dried, white, fluffy goats which (hopefully) will impress the judges at Kadina on August 21st.

Playgroup Is Back!

I t is wonderful to be able to offer our Playgroup program to families again. It has been great to reconnect with existing

families as well as welcome many new families. I would also like to thank our facilitator Alain who continues to provide a high quality program for our community. I would also like to thank our Rural Care Educators, Jasmine and Belinda who support Playgroup being integrated into Rural Care on Friday mornings.

WHY IS PLAYGROUP IMPORTANT?There is countless research which tells us of the importance of a child’s first three years of life and the impact of accessing quality early childhood programs has in their development and laying the foundation for them to be life-long learners.

“Brains are built over time and more complex skills are built on the foundations of basic skills as children engage in relationships and experiences in their earliest years (Australian Early Developmental Census 2014-2015).

Our playgroup program is developed and underpinned by the SPICE Kit resource, and the 8 key learning areas which support learning at home and in early childhood settings. These are:

• Talking together• Reading together• Singing together• Looking together• Playing together• Laughing together• Belonging together and• Learning together.

Friday mornings 9am till 11am - $2 per child

C e n t r a l Y o r k e E a r l y L e a r n i n g C e n t r e

Central Yorke Early Learning Centre offers a vibrant playgroup for children aged 0-5 years old, and for their parents and carers. We invite families to come and be an active part of a supportive community where parents can connect and build

new relationships and children can interact with each other and engage in creative, active and cooperative play. Central Yorke Early Learning Centre is a warm and welcoming environment, and we would love to have you come along!

What are the benefits of playgroup?For Families:

• Families understand the learning children do through play and other experiences.

• Families receive ideas for activities they can do at home to support their child’s learning.

• There is an increased sense of belonging to the preschool, school and community.

• Families have the opportunity to interact with educators and professionals, breaking down perceived barriers.

• Families have the opportunity to interact with other parents/carers and share knowledge and experiences.

For Children:

• Children and families become familiar with the site routines, philosophy and the environment.

• Children have the opportunity to develop literacy and numeracy skills; social/emotional skills, oral language skills, fine and gross motor skills.

• Children have opportunities to develop their sensory pathways which are important to all learning.

• Children have opportunities to develop their cognitive functioning skills, such as working memory, self-regulation, transferring their learning from one context to another and to problem solve.

• Children have opportunities to develop dispositions for learning such as cooperation, persistence, resilience and organisation.

For Schools:

• Greater connections resulting in an increase in parent involvement.

• Opportunity to convey early learning messages and philosophy.

• May result in increased enrolments in the School and Preschool.

• Improved transitions.• Opportunities for early intervention.

We encourage you to come along and enjoy the fun and we look forward to seeing you at Playgroup.

Over the past few weeks, the Year 10s have been learning about Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA).

After studying the history about DNA and its involvement with Genetic material, students were asked to present a timeline of events leading

into the discovery of DNA, with reference to historic scientists Oswald Avery, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, Erwin Chargaff, James Watson and Francis Crick.

Students then explored the structure of the DNA molecule, including the sugar-phosphate back bone and four chemical bases: A (Adenine), T (Thymine), C (Cytosine) and G (Guanine). Students extracted some DNA out of a Split Pea cell and then created their own ‘lolly’ models of DNA.

Next, the students will explore the relationship between DNA and Genes, including genotypes and phenotypes and how we inherit characteristics from our parents.

Sports UpdateOPEN MIXED HOCKEYThe Open Mixed Hockey team travelled to Clare in Week 4 to play against Clare High School. It was a dreary old day with persistent drizzle for most of the day. With a relatively young team CYS put up a good fight against an older, more experienced Clare going into half time 2 nil down.

Some good saves by Ashlee in goals kept us in the game for the first part of the second half. Bella C, Kaylee

and Pearl were beginning to get more of the ball in the midfield and Georgina and Hugh were holding tight in defense.

Unfortunately, Clare were too strong and fitness became an issue with no bench players. Clare eventually won 8 goals to nil. Thankyou to Kelly for coaching the team on the day.
