BELLE’S OUT OF THIS WORLD Term 3 has been a big one for Big Picture student, Isabelle Kent, who has engaged in a range of
Leaving to Learn experiences as part of her Personalised Big Picture Learning Plan.
Apart from her informational interview with a florist to support her research into communicating
messages through the use of flowers, working with Margrete Lamond, a local publisher from Dirt
Lane Press, on a selection of poems and artistic works which will be published later this year, Belle
has pursued her passion for astronomy, working with a range of mentors to explore literally
everything, outside of this world.
On Tuesday this week, she joined her mentors at the CSU Sky Stories event where she got to
check out Saturn, Venus, Neptune and the moon through various telescopes which were
generously supplied.
In an action-packed week Belle, and some of her Big Picture peers all got to have a behind the
scenes tour of the Parkes Radio Telescope with Stacy Mader, a local astronomer. Following this,
they worked with Stacy and two other astronomers, Tina and Trevor Leahman to collect data
from distant galaxies using the Parkes dish, from inside the Big Picture Advisory. In coming weeks
they will get to analyse this data and identify exactly what they were picking up.
Belle also had an insightful video conference with Karli Noon, a PHD student studying
Astrophysics and Advanced Astronomy, who opened her eyes to the life of a uni student and
career pathways associated with Astronomy.
The following is part of Belle’s reflection from the Parkes excursion:
Behind the scenes at the Parkes Radio Telescope
On Monday 12th of August, a small group of Big
Picture students and Miss Penberthy were invited by
Stacy Mader (an astronomer) to come to see all of
the things that go into his work as an Astronomer at
the Parkes Radio Telescope.
It was really interesting to learn about what the dish
and telescope are made of, and with the advances
in technology, not only can radio signals be retrieved
remotely but you can also control the dish from far
away as well.
It is actually more relaxing to work at Parkes than I originally thought. I could easily see myself
doing this on a daily basis, calming getting feedback from another universe while sitting at a
cafe, coding a new platform as season 5 of “The Office” plays in the background; indeed,
this could be my future.
The best part about the visit overall would be looking at all the different technologies that the
astronomers use. I almost fell in love with the control hub, if we went to the very top where the
actual telescope lives, I might’ve never left!
Overall I enjoyed the trip immensely, and I believe I have become more aware of my options
for the future. I am so grateful for this opportunity to learn something, and I would definitely
do it again.
Belle Kent, Year 10
In week 7 a group of students from Canobolas High School travelled down to Homebush
to compete at the CHS Athletics Carnival. The carnival went for three days, with students
competing in a wide variety of events. Some fantastic results were recorded for all
students involved. A special mention to Ebony Hay silver medallist in 17+ Discuss, Erin
Naden bronze medallist in 17+ 200m, Joseph Hathaway bronze medallist in 12yrs 200m
and the 16yrs girls relay team for making the final.
Last Tuesday 3rd September, Canobolas High School competed in the Shea Cup which is an annual
hockey gala day that involves all the local high schools in Orange—Canobolas High School, Orange High
School, James Sheahan Catholic High School and Kinross Wolaroi.
For those in the hockey world, it is common knowledge that each of these school are extremely strong
and this made for a great day of competition.
Both the boys and girls teams were absolutely fantastic on the day, playing some brilliant hockey.
Playing a total of five games ensured that all players were required to give their all and boy did they do
just that.
As each game ensued, the improvements and team work came in leaps and bounds. Our students
were exemplary on and off the field, with our school being awarded the “Play the Whistle” award.
This award is presented to the school that showed heart, was respectful throughout the entire
competition and was viewed as the school with the most potential.
Canobolas High School was placed fourth overall in the boys and girls competition.
A special mention to those students who assisted in umpiring and officiating games on the day— Trent
Wilde, Kattie-Lee Bennett, Kimberley Kiel and Karlee Bell.
I would like to thank the parents, grandparents and spectators who were there to show their support.
Mrs Abrahams
On Monday 2nd September, the Opens Boys and Girls soccer
teams headed to Jack Brabham Park to compete in the annual
Orange Interschool Soccer Gala Day. We played four games in
total against James Sheahan, Kinross Wolaroi, Orange High and
Orange Anglican Grammar School. The day saw a huge effort by
both teams who had never played together before, but banded
together to make Canobolas High School proud with their
sportsmanship and efforts throughout the day. Special mention
goes to the Open Boys team who came away with a win vs
Kinross Wolaroi. Well done to all students on a great day.

On Wednesday the 28th of August, dancers from Years 7-11
travelled to Bathurst for their final Eisteddfod for the year.
Our Stage 4 dancers were first to take to the stage and perform
their ‘Colours of the Wind’ routine. They then performed their
‘Gold Watch’ routine for the first time. The girls were very
professional in their presence on stage and came away with
2nd place for ‘Colours of the Wind’ and highly commended for
‘Gold Watch’! Great job girls!
In the next section we had our Canobolas Ensemble
dancers who performed ‘I Just Wanna Dance With
Somebody’, then our Stage 5 dancers performed
their Aladdin dance. Well done to both groups for
dealing with some position changes and dancing
with an increasing amount of confidence on stage.
Miss Lee and Miss Lloyd would like to congratulate all of the dancers who were
involved in the three eisteddfods this term. Students were an absolute pleasure to take
and it was great to see them improving each time!
Miss Lee
On Tuesday 10th September our CHPA students took part in a cooking class run by our
partnered nutritionist, Jacki Jasprizza. The students cooked in groups of four to prepare
a vege-packed pasta and a berry and banana smoothie. A big thank you to Jacki
Jasprizza for showing our students some quick and easy nutritious meals and recipes to
take home. Thanks also to Mrs Rouse for assisting throughout the day .
Good luck to our students in the upcoming CKC Cup vs Cowra High School and Kelso
High School. We will be competing in sports of touch football, soccer, volleyball, netball,
basketball, t-ball, softball and debating.
Round 1– Friday 13th September

Good luck!

A Case for Conspiracy...
Year 8 students participated in a forensic workshop where they had to analyse clues and
evidence to solve a crime. Students looked at trace evidence, ballistics, DNA, phone
messages, fabric samples and different data to both identify the murderer and justify their guilt
using the evidence they had collected.

Book Tasting
Year 8 students are currently writing their original crime short stories. To assist with this, students
in 8 Minerva completed a 'book tasting' that allowed students to experience a taste of a
variety of novels. Students then had to complete an evaluation of each novel discussing how
the cover art, blurb and first chapter work together to interest readers. They shared their
opinions with each other and used this information to help them create a cover and blurb for
their short stories.

Daphne the native wood duck has
been a visitor in the STEM centre
this week. Ms Baylis, a WIRES
volunteer, is looking after her until
she can be released into the wild.
The 6th September marked one hundred years since the 17 Pin Oak trees were planted
in Newman Park by former Orange East Public school students and staff, in
remembrance of the students from the school who did not return from World War
One. Over 100 local students had served in the First World War.
As they had for ANZAC ceremonies during their primary school years, Brock and Rachael
Anderson attended the ceremony as Canobolas representatives. A new plaque under
the trees was unveiled by the Orange Mayor, Reg
Kidd. Those gathered heard how the day had
unfolded 100 years ago under the direction of the
then principal. Along with students from the
school and community members, the present
and past two principals of the school also
attended the event. These trees are one of only
two know intact stands of trees planted to
remember this wars’ lost soldiers.
ORANGE COMMUNITY REMEMBERS
There were plenty of nervous smiles and anxious questions on Monday evening at the Year 7
2020 Information Session - and they were from the parents and carers! The future students and
families of CRTHS braved the cold to find out all about starting high school, as well as viewing the
vast array of learning experiences on offer across all faculties. Students were given a crash
course on the necessities of high school life, such as which books and uniforms are needed, the
various academic, creative and sporting opportunities available, and the
behavioural expectations of the Canobolas Code. Transition sessions have already begun, with
all schools participating in orientation activities next term.

A mindful walk is an excellent way to clear your mind of clutter and restore your sense of
focus. It is also a great excuse to get out into nature. Several studies have shown that taking a break
to look at or be in nature can have a rejuvenating effect on the brain, helping to free up your mind when you feel stuck and boosting levels of attention.1
Incorporate mindful walking into your daily life in as little as 5-10 minutes a day by using all of your senses — sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch — to bring awareness to your body and surroundings.
Here’s how to do it:
As you walk, notice how your body feels. Pay attention to how your legs, feet and arms feel with each step you take. Feel the contact of your foot as it touches the ground, and the movement of your body as you
move into your next step. If you become lost in thought as you continue to walk, use the next step as an opportunity to
start over. Now using your sense of sight, look around and try to notice every detail. Using your sense of smell, notice any aromas or scents. Are you able to notice any tastes as you walk? Can you taste the air? Now using your sense of touch, notice the solidity of the earth beneath your feet. With openness and curiosity, notice any sensations, thoughts or feelings that arise, without
lingering on anything in particular.

Working With Children Check (WWCC)
Information for Visitors, Volunteers & Contractors The Department of Education uses a suite of screening methods to ensure the safety and
welfare of all children in NSW public schools and to preclude unsuitable people from working
or volunteering with the department. The Working with Children Check (WWCC) is one such
method and is a mandatory requirement for any worker or volunteer engaged in child-related
work.
All workers who have direct (physical or face-to-face) contact with children need a WWCC
clearance to work in a child-related role.
All visitors, volunteers and contractors who are either child related workers or non child related
workers MUST present at the administration office upon arrival and sign the visitors/volunteers/
contractors register.
The majority of parents and close relatives who volunteer with their child(ren)'s school are
exempt under the WWCC regulations and do not have to obtain a WWCC clearance. Any
volunteer under the age of 18 does not have to obtain a WWCC clearance.
All volunteers are required to complete the Appendix 5 declaration and provide 100 points of
proof of identity. Copies of the Appendix 5 declaration are available from the administration
office.
Any adult volunteer who:
will work as part of a formal mentoring program, or
will provide intimate, personal care to children with a disability, or
is not a parent or close relative of a student at the school where the volunteer is working,
but will have direct contact with children, are required to obtain a WWCC.
These volunteers need to provide the school with a WWCC clearance (paid or unpaid), 100
points of proof of identity and the Appendix 11 declaration.
Copies of the Appendix 11 declaration are available from the administration office.
Parents, carers and visitors who are attending the school for general meetings that do not
have direct contact with students must sign the visitors/volunteers/contractors register noting
their arrival and departure time and the purpose of their visit.
