William Chi – SES Volunteer

Year 12 student William Chi, spares no effort in stretching

himself in both his studies and his community involvement.

Joining the State Emergency Service 18 months ago at the age of

16, William considers “helping the community a life goal” and

says “the SES has taught me life skills that will help me expand

my knowledge and give me hands on capabilities”.

William aims to join the NSW Police Force after graduation and

continue his service to the community. Congratulations William!

Principal’s Voice

Achievements in Term 2

showcase Cumberland High

School’s continuous

improvement and commitment

to excellence. We have plunged

into targets aligned to our new

2018 – 2020 school plan and are

delighted with the progress

made thus far.

Report Reflection Conferences

Lifting academic performance is

a key area of focus for our school

and we have introduced

individual report reflection

conferencing to enable this.

Every student will be required to

meet with a staff member after

receiving their report and reflect

on their performance. During

this conference session, every

student will reflect on their

results and with the assistance of

our staff, determine specific

goals to enhance performance in

the Yearly report. Year 12 and

Year 11 conferences occurred

last week with very positive

feedback from both staff and

students. We look forward to

conferences for students in all

other year groups in weeks to

come.

Personal Best, Honour Roll and

Honour Roll Recognition

Breakfast

We recently enjoyed our

Personal Best Assembly, where

students were acknowledged for

their determination and pursuit

of personal best. To further our

acknowledgement of student

excellence and entelechy, we

have introduced this year, the

Honour Roll and the Honour Roll

Recognition Breakfast. For the

Honour Roll Recognition

Breakfast, we invite the top 15

students in each cohort to

celebrate with parents and the

school, their outstanding

Semester 1 academic

achievements. Year 11 and Year

12 Honour Roll students and

parents were delighted to be

given the opportunity to

celebrate their academic

successes. (Please see attached

list of Personal Best, Year 11 and

Year 12 Honour Roll students).

Acceleration Pathway

Our Year 9 Honour Roll students

will be offered the opportunity to

accelerate at the end of this year

and pursue a Year 11 course at

the commencement of 2019. This

will enable Year 9 Honour Roll

students the capacity to complete

one Year 11 subject prior to their

entry into Year 11. Another very

exciting initiative that we are

introducing this year.

2018 Ginko Project

Our Writer in Residence program

with renowned Australian

author, Dr Bernard Cohen was

launched again this year and

continues to grow from strength

to strength. The exciting Ginko

writing project has captured the

interest of all our Year 7

students, in partnership with Dr.

Cohen, James Ruse Agricultural

High School and Carlingford

West Primary School. Students

visited the farm at James Ruse

Agricultural High and were

immersed in the world of farm

animals, sheep shearing,

sustainable farm practices and

the farm hand’s perspective on

working the land. After this

process, students have worked

together with their English

teacher, our teacher-librarian Ms

Alexander and Dr Cohen to craft

their creative writing piece to

reflect their experience. The

works of our students will be

celebrated during Education

Week next term.

Cumberland High School Leo

Club

The Cumberland High School Leo

Club was recognised at the

prestigious 100 Years of Lions

International celebration

Mayoral Civic Reception on 30th

May at the Waterview Function

Centre. The Lord Mayor of

Parramatta, Mr Andrew Wilson

presented our committed and

dynamic Leos with awards in

recognition of their outstanding

community service. Following

this event, our Leos also ran a

fundraising campaign to support

children’s cancer and raised

$289.50 at last week’s barbeque

fundraiser.

Getting It Right Day

Mr Brent Sanders and Mr Luke

Kennedy were two inspiring

keynote presenters that offered

highly valuable insights for our

Year 10 students. This wellbeing

initiative enabled our Year 10

students to engage and reflect

upon challenges and strategies to

conquer those challenges. The

feedback from students again

was extremely positive with

students providing specific

comments about the high

positive impact of this initiative.

The Futures Project

Congratulations to Edison Ruan,

Feng Ye and Isabelle Alley for

their outstanding leadership at

the Futures Project hosted by

The Kings School. These fine

scientists have been

collaborating with other interns

and Science experts on a specific

scientific challenge. Their

presentations at the launch event

was most inspiring.

Athletics Carnival

It has indeed been a most

eventful few weeks since

publishing our last newsletter

and in addition to all the

academic achievements we have

had our annual Athletics

Carnival, allowing our students

to demonstrate their athletic skill

mastery. This year again, we

enjoyed outstanding student

participation and we look

forward to this sporting

excellence shining in our

Wauchope competition later this

term.

Exciting times at Cumberland!

Helmsman Girls

Adventure

The 5-day hike for the Helmsman

Project initiated our persistence

and gave life to many new

friendships. The hike itself,

though it was exhausting for

some, taught us Helmsman Girls,

to stay optimistic and pursue our

goals until the end.

Through simple tasks like

preparing meals and cleaning up,

the Cumberland girls were able

to finally communicate with the

Chester Hill girls and from there,

bonds sprouted and grew. Along

the span of the hike, many

complaints of wanting to go

home were heard and there were

times where we got close to

stopping and giving up all

together yet we didn’t and kept

going, our will and determination

keeping us strong until the end

when those complaints

disappeared completely.

The entire journey had lead us to

realise just how satisfying a

hard-earned success is but also

showed how hard success is to

earn. Overall, this journey was

beyond worth it and everything

learnt, from how to tie knots and

how to set up bivies to

identifying our own values and

climbing through thin cracks

between huge rocks will be

remembered.

‘I am what I am today because of

the choices I made yesterday’ –

Skills Show

Excursion

On 4th of June, several students

from Year 10 and 11 had the

opportunity to attend the Skills

Show at ICC Sydney. It offered us

an abundance of helpful advice,

including LIVE Q&A with various

Australian VET Ambassador

speakers – all passionate

advocates for careers in trades

and skills and guides leading up

to our career choices in the

future.

The event started with an

informative seminar, followed by

chances to try a few careers and

get information on different

universities along with TAFE.

The seminar provided us with

extended knowledge about

future career choices and

provided an in-depth

understanding of the pathways

and courses we can do; both in

TAFE and in school such as

various types of apprenticeships

and traineeships. Statistics of

how industries are growing

and/or decreasing were also

given. Real life professionals who

studied at TAFE and made a

successful career were

introduced as examples. Some

were interviewed, and they

shared their past experiences,

their passion for the work they

do, how/why they got into TAFE

and how it contributes to their

career. To finish off, a group

known as the AIM (Australian

Institute of Music) performed a

spectacular musical item and

gave us an insight into what they

offer.

Following this was a sort of

‘convention’ in which there were

different career stalls with

various careers, employers and

education providers showing

ways to get into these careers

and what skills they could

possibly require. This included

demonstrations for jobs such as a

brick laying section, a beauty

section and even a VCR section.

Moreover, there were stations of

some different universities which

were giving out information on

how to apply and what kind of

courses they had to offer.

Zashaal and I (Purvi) both had

the opportunity to learn about

the different possibilities TAFE

had to offer for the specific

careers we want to pursue.

Competitions were also being

held at the time and people could

freely come and watch; such as

cooking and fashion designing.

Stations also offered a hands-on

experience, which in our opinion

was excellent as it boosted the

interest of the students

attending. Some stations even

gave out goodies, for instance

power banks, pop-sockets and

more.

Overall, attending the skills

excursion was a spectacular

experience which provided us

with a wide range of helpful

information. We would highly

recommend it to all the future

year 10s and 11s to come, seeing

how extremely helpful and

informative it is for people

thinking about both TAFE and

university. A huge thank you to

Ms. Sisala for organising this and

also Mr. Pillay for helping.

Library News

In order to help students find just

the right book to read, some of

our English classes have

participated in a special “Speed-

Dating” session with selected

library books. (See image right)

Each student was provided with

a booklet to rate their four

minute dates with the different

books. The Books for the dates

were matched to appeal to each

class’s interests and reading

levels.

Mrs K. Alexander

New Books!

Young Lemony started by

asking questions that

his mind. Now he has

written an account that

should not be published,

in four volumes that

shouldn't be read.

Mock Trial Round

Three

Congratulations to the

Cumberland High School Mock

Trial team on their 220-215 win

over OLMC.

Team member Dev Chopra (Year

10) said, “Our interactions with

the other team were quite

positive and allowed both teams

to learn from each other and

build their knowledge when it

came to law. Our lack of a

magistrate resulted in Alan

O'Shea and the coaches from

each school in judging us which

made it more of an opportunity

to learn as well. Overall we had a

positive experience and what we

learnt will definitely help us in

future trials”.

STUDY SKILLS HANDBOOK

Do you ever find yourself procrastinating? You

mean to start work on an assignment, but you just

keep putting it off until it ends up being a mad rush

the night before it is due. The Overcoming

Procrastination unit at

www.studyskillshandbook.com.au looks at the

reasons why students procrastinate and what

techniques can be used to overcome this common

problem. Setting work targets with rewards at the

end of each completed step is a well-known

strategy, but an example of a less commonly

known technique is the ‘two-fer’ concept. For this

technique you have two tasks, one you don’t mind

doing and one you have been procrastinating

about. Decide on a set period of time that you will

work for. During this time, if you have any trouble

working on one task or reach a point where you

have a bit of a mental blank, you should then

switch to the other task and alternate between

them. Of course it is better to focus solely on one

task but if this isn’t working by alternating

between two tasks at least you are being

productive for the whole period of time and

forcing yourself to do some work on the less

favoured task.

You might also like to visit the Assignment Skills

unit at www.studyskillshandbook.com.au for some

more ideas on approaching assignments. Our

school’s subscription details are -

The more of this website you can work through the

more you will set yourself up for academic

success. Work at your own pace when you have

study time available.

AMPing it up mentees in Year 12 may use/discuss

the ELES site in meets. Teachers may also set

specific class and/ or homework tasks from

sections of the study skills website to supplement

your study.

Best wishes for (improving) your studies,
