Delroy Campus – Year 7 Transition Evening
I would like to start by congratulating the students on the excellent start they
have made to the 2015 school year. Walking around the school and
observing classrooms it is great to see students actively engaged in their learning and taking up the many opportunities at
Delroy. The Bangarra Dance Auditions took place on the 12th of February and our students performed exceptionally well.
Last Friday we had the pleasure of inducting our student leaders and a big thank you to all the parents and carers who
attended to support their child. The parents of Year 7 participated in lessons in our Welcome to Year 7 night and our annual
swimming carnival was also a great success. I would like to thank all of the staff who have been involved with the
organisation of these events.
In the upcoming weeks, Year 7 students have their excursion to Wambangalang, our Aurora College students have their
Residential Camp and students will participate in the Annual Science and Engineering Challenge. On the 14 th March the
P&C are holding a BBQ from 8.00am to 12noon at Aldi with all proceeds going to the 2015 Gold Excursion. If any
parents are able to assist with this can they please contact the school.
I encourage all students to continue to strive to do their best throughout the year.

DELROY CAMPUS NEWSLETTER Wednesday 4th March 2015 3
Bangarra Dance Theatre is one of Australia’s most successful Aboriginal performing arts companies,
fusing Aboriginal culture with contemporary dance. Bangarra is the Wiradjuri word meaning "to make
fire". The Bangarra Dancers visited Delroy Campus recently to take the Delroy students through various
dance routines. Following this, students were selected to participate in the Rekindling Youth Program.
Rekindling is an intensive
dance based program for
Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait
Islander secondary students to
explore ‘who you are’ and
‘where you come from’. The
participants research and gather
stories with the help and
guidance from Elders within
their communities, to develop
dance, performance and creative
skills to produce dance theatre.
Congratulations to the
following students who have
been chosen for the Bangarra
Rekindle Dance Workshop:
Matt Morris, Mirrikie Shaw,
Wendall Coe-Kennedy,
Max Toomey, Jamarra Elemes,
Shanta Bower and Shai Cubby.
They are the names so far, with
more names of students to be
announced.

SRC Report
Delroy SRC is ready to get straight
into 2015 with motivation and
ambition. Only being three weeks in
is no excuse! We have already brain-
stormed some great ideas to make the
most of this year. Valentine’s Day has
been a Delroy tradition and has once
again presented an extraordinary
success.
We would also like to advertise that
the “Anti-Bullying Committee” is
currently searching for more people
that would like to contribute to the
group and help promote that bullying
should not be tolerated. If you are
interested, meetings are hosted in the
library on Tuesdays at recess.
Don’t forget that we are your student
voice and very approachable, so never
hesitate to forward your brilliant ideas
and concerns to us, so that Delroy can
be the best that it can be. We have a
great variety of events in store for
2015 and are looking forward to a
very busy and productive year. So
welcome back and bring 2015 on!

SCIENCE FACULTY…...
Science Assessment Tasks
The Science faculty has now fully implemented the National Curriculum and new NSW syllabus changes. All Delroy
students will be receiving a new notification for their first formal assessment task for 2015. These will be handed out in
Science classes but please contact the school for more information.
Year 9 Science classes have been learning about the layers of the Earth and the convection cycles that drive the
“Earth Machine” and create volcanoes and earthquakes. While examining fluid density, some Year 9 students managed to
produce the following density columns using only water, salt and three colours of food dye.
Do you know how they did it?
