Delroy Campus – Year 7 Trans ition E vening

A big congratulations to our Debating team

who made it into the zone finals last week,

although they did not win, we had Nathan

Hawkes being selected for the Western

Debating side. Thank you to Mrs Farquhar

and Ms Hines who have supported this team

throughout the year.

Isaiah Towney and Amberlilly Gordon have

travelled to Sydney to rehearse for the NSW

Schools Aboriginal Dance Company. We are

looking forward to watching them perform at

the Schools Spectacular being held in

December.

Mr Piper came back with success from the

Mendooran Horse Show, with Tori Campbell

Kelly and Harry Jackson taking out many

firsts on the day.

SRC have been working tirelessly to organise

our first school disco this Thursday 22nd

August. The theme is “Go with the Glow”

and we have already sold over 100 tickets. It

will be a fun night for students to dance the

night away.

Next week we will be holding our NAIDOC

day and our Equity team have organised a

full program. We will be having many

visitors to the school and all activities will be

held on the oval.

Congratulations to Nathan Freeman who was

successful in winning the shirt design compe-

tition. His shirt has been manufactured and

will be worn by the students who are

involved in the South vs Delroy sport

competition that will be played on NAIDOC

day.

From the Principal... Delroy students win places in NSW Public

Schools Aboriginal Dance Company

Two Delroy Campus students have been selected in the 2013 NSW Public

Schools Aboriginal Dance Company to perform at the State Dance

Festival and the Schools Spectacular later this year. Isaiah Towney and

Amberlilly Gordon were selected for the elite 28-strong group from 750

applicants across the State.

Established for the fourth year by the Department of Education’s Arts

Unit, the program is run in partnership with Bangarra Dance Theatre,

Australia’s leading Indigenous performing arts organisation. The dancers

will work to a tight schedule of rehearsals in the next few months to

perfect their routines

“We have already been to Sydney for a three-day rehearsal and will return

for further practice at the end of this month,” Amberlilly said. “It’s hard

but it’s fun. The State Dance Festival is on 5th and 6th September, so that

is our initial aim, and then we will be working towards to Schools

Spectacular in November.”

Department of Education Arts Initiative Adviser, Sonja Benson, said this

year’s Aboriginal Dance Company was one of the best and the largest to

be selected since its inception.

“Interest in joining the group has been increasing each year and it is

considered a real privilege to be selected,” she said.

The NSW Public Schools Aboriginal Dance Company is one of the Arts

Unit’s specialist programs. It is a highly motivational program aimed at

building students’ skills, knowledge and cultural awareness.

Delroy Campus students Isaiah Towney and Amberlilly Gordon were selected

out of 750 students to be part of this year’s 28-strong NSW Public Schools

Aboriginal Dance Company.

2 2 DELROY CAMPUS NEWSLETTER Wednesday 21st August 2013 2

Students from Delroy Campus travelled

to Dunedoo and Mendooran last week to

compete in the interschool’s Equestrian

Competition.

Harry Jackson and Tori Campbell-Kelly

competed with great success over two

days.

Harry Jackson was successful in taking

out the 16 years and over division at

Dunedoo, against strong competition.

This was more credible as Harry was

competing on a young horse that was

competing in its first show.

Tori Campbell-Kelly won many classes

over the two days and both students

should be very proud of their efforts.

Delroy also had a big band of helpers

who did an excellent job over the two

days and received positive feedback

from the organisers. Overall it was a

highly successful excursion and

Mr David Piper Horse Sports Co-

ordinator would like to congratulate all

the students on their excellent efforts and

attitude.

SRC … in a nutshell

On the 16th to the 18th of August, students from

Dubbo College Delroy Campus participated in the 40

Hour Famine. The students gave up a range of

different things for 40 hours, such as giving up food,

furniture, sleep and even talking! The Delroy group is

working hard to raise as much money as they can to

help out with the 40 hour famine organisation and

Student Medical Forms - Delroy Campus During Terms 3 and 4 we will be updating our medical records systems to ensure we

have the most up-to-date information on your child’s health.

If you have a child with a medical condition you will receive a copy of the new forms

in the mail and you will need to fill them out and return them to us as soon as you can.

The good news is we have already started collecting some of this information, which

means less for you to do.

The new forms will help us collect your child’s important medical information and the introduction of new systems will

mean we’ll be better able to manage the daily and emergency health needs of your child.

We appreciate your support as we start collecting the information and if you have any questions please call.

HSIE Happenings…….

Year 10 History

As I type, Year 10 students are actively involved in their History Site Study. Students are

required to examine a memorial to the Vietnam War (virtual or real) as a way of learning about

the war and the social and political issues at the time. The Year 10 History course looks more

at “Issues” in the time since WW2 rather than a chronological study up to and including WW2

which students undertook in Year 9. Other issues to be investigated in Year 10 include Immigration, Changing Rights and

Freedoms of various groups (migrants, women, and Aboriginal people). Students will also study Prime Ministers with an

insight into the political issues, as well as a decade study involving the politics, fashions, music, television, etc of a particu-

lar decade.

National Curriculum

Mr Audisho has been busy preparing programs, and resources to teach the new History courses to Years 7 and 9 in 2014.

This is a huge job, even though the new course is closer to the NSW syllabus than any other State’s curriculum.

Staffing

Since the start of this term we have had the pleasure of having Ms Russell in the faculty. She has been taking the place of

Mr Edwards, and will be with us until the end of the year. She has been doing a great job covering his History, Geography,

English and PDHPE classes.

DEBATING…….. The Debating Team last week faced an unexpected challenge from Gulgong High School when we found that we were the

zone finalists. It was an interesting debate with a lot of good arguments flowing. The topic was that we should reserve

seats in parliament for indigenous members. We were on the negative side. Our team consisted of 1st speaker Sarah

Toohey, second speaker Shaman Ryan third speaker Nathan Hawkes and team adviser Callie Woodburn. Lauren Ward

was the adjudicator and she commended both sides on their team lines and debate topics.

The debate went to Delroy and so we were then required to be at the regionals in Molong the next week. With little time

to prepare the team tried to cover all current issues and focussed on the current political atmosphere.

At Molong the team was first to debate. We were the affirmative. Sarah Toohey led the debate on violence in songs with

Sam Read as second speaker and Nathan Hawkes as third. Chayce Giles was the team adviser. We debated against

Orange High School. While the debaters prepared the rest of the team consisting of Shaman Ryan, Reece Holland and

Callie Woodburn were involved in a series of workshops that revolved around topics such as bullying, euthanasia and the

Australian flag. Although we did not win, it was a great day.

Nathan Hawkes was selected to join the four person team representing the Western Region. This is an incredible accolade

for our debating team and we are very proud of Nathan’s efforts to achieve at this level. He will be going to Sydney in

November to compete at State titles.

As a team it has been good to see the growth of the team and while some move to the Senior Campus next year I must

congratulate all members for a great effort this year and happy debating in the future.

Lucas Walters: Delroy’s French kart connection

A 14-year-old boy, born and raised in France, has added a new dimension to life at Dubbo College Delroy Campus this

year. Year 9 student Lucas Walters not only brings life-long experience of a different culture, but also a long list of

achievements in his chosen sport of kart racing.

Lucas, who began kart racing as a 7 year

old, made an impressive debut in

Australia in June, nine months after his

last race in France. Competing in the

Junior National Light Category, Lucas

had a podium finish in the annual Three

Track Challenge at Dubbo’s Lincoln

County Raceway. He followed this up in

July when he finished fourth in the final

of the 125cc Rotax Junior Max category.

This weekend he will compete in the

Australasian Gold Cup, hosted by Dubbo

Kart Club, and he is hoping to pull out a

top performance.

“Karting is a major sport in Europe and I

was really pleased to find it is also

popular at Dubbo,” Lucas said. “Lincoln

County Raceway is a great track and the

club has a championship race every month.

Most recently I took out a third and fourth

place so I was quite pleased with my

performance.”

In France Lucas was placed sixth in his category prior to moving to Australia earlier this year. For racing in Europe,

Lucas held an International “C” junior licence and the Australian Karting Association automatically issued him with an

Australian “B” grade licence for racing here.

Bruce, his Australian father, first became involved in motor sports in 1964 and moved to France 21 years ago as a

qualified ski instructor. He was instrumental in introducing Lucas to competition skiing and kart racing in Europe.

“Racing in the Northern Hemisphere is extremely competitive, but Australian karters like Joseph Mawson, Pierce Lehane,

Dimitri Agathos and Josh Smith are really making their mark on European kart racing circuits,” Bruce said. “Hopefully

Lucas will progress to follow their traces heading towards top motor racing formulas.”

Lucas shares his passion for kart racing with three other students at Delroy Campus – Kyle Reynolds and Nathan and

Bradley Freeman. All are keen racers and Lucas and Kyle are looking forward to competing together at the NSW State

Titles at Lithgow in October.

the start of the year.
