PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
I would like to thank staff, students, parents
and community agencies for their support in
our many endeavours this year.This term we
recognised our student sporting success for
2016 at the annual sports assembly, and our
student academic success and community
service at our annual presentation assembly.
We were supported with many parents and
guests who gave us very positive feedback
on both of these events. Our guests included
Mr Jason Clare, member for Blaxland, the
Honourable Mr Luke Foley, Leader of the
Opposition, Ms Anna Tsoutsa, Principal
Auburn Girls High School, Mr Dusan Dakic,
NSW Police Force, Mr Mark Busby, Creating
Chances, Mrs Randa Kattan, CEO Arab
Council Australia, Mr Colin Goodwin,
husband of the late Heather Goodwin
(support unit SLSO), Ms Inara Molinari,
Cumberland Council, Ms Layla Morcos,
LOWES, Mr Syd Thode, Merrylands RSL, Mr
David Flower, former student, Simaima
Taufa, former student and Jillaroos player
and Hanna Sio, Australian Sevens and
Wallaroos player.
We recognised many students at these
events. 2 of them were Amani Darwich of
year 12 and Karim Jebara of year 11.
Congratulations to Amani Darwich, the DUX
of year 12 2016. Amani worked consistently
for self-improvement and personal best. She
was involved in the creative and performing
arts and also contributed to student
leadership whilst balancing her studies.
Congratulations to Karim Jebara, the
recipient of the 2016 Principals award. Karim
is one of the top academic students in his
year group, has shown steady progress, is
consistent in his efforts across all courses,
has contributed to our sports coaching
program with local primary schools, has
represented the school at several events
through student leadership and sports, and is
respected by both staff and students. He has
an attendance rate of over 95%, and is
ranked 1st in 2of his preliminary courses, and
then 2nd, 3rd and 4th in his other courses.
For all members of our school, the most
significant events this year were those
included as part of our 50th anniversary
celebrations. Our 50th year has been
amazing!
The Flash Mob at Parramatta in term 1 was a Multicultural NSW funded and Arab Council Australia managed project led by Ms Tsaloukas. This project reflected our schools love of the performing arts and more specifically, the connections our students of many cultures, beliefs, and ages share. It was featured in the Daily Telegraph and there were thousands of online viewings of the video within days of the performance. Our year 11 music class with Ms Collins
wrote and recorded 2 unique School Songs
about our wonderful community, with the
support of Granville Youth and Community
Centre and funding from Parramatta Council.
Over 5 Friday morning sessions they
workshopped, composed, and refined their
ideas in order to produce the two songs. The
first live performance was at our first 50th
Anniversary assembly back in Week 5, Term
2. Our video clips to accompany both the
Official School Song and the Hip Hop Remix
have been presented on different occasions.
Both videos can be viewed via YouTube and
our school’s Facebook Page. These have
also had thousands of views.
The CAPA faculty also led the design and construction of a 50th anniversary mural which brought staff from across the school and students together. This mural brings life

to the formerly dull entry at the front of the
school.
Granville Multicultural Community Centre led
a video project with some of our students.
In addition, as part of education week celebrations we hosted a 50th Anniversary dinner supported by past students and teachers as well as special guests and current staff. Former students included the original year 7 class of 1966 and the first school captain as one of the guest speakers. The following weekend we held an open day for former staff and students. I would like to thank all the current staff, students and parents who supported this Saturday event. We all learnt about the 50 year history of our school, with 5 decade assemblies featuring former graduates as guest speakers, entertainment from our ensemble students and images and stories from each era. Former students spoke about the support they received from their teachers, not only in academic development but in social and emotional development and in decision making for life. We learnt that Granville South has a strong history in sporting success, in the performing arts with years of musical performances, with community partnerships, parent workshops and successful transitions into the world of work and further education. The school has had visits from famous guests including Dick Smith of Dick Smith Electronics, Tim Bailey and Vic Laruso, media personalities, Monique Coleman, a United Nations Youth Ambassador, and the British and Irish Lions Rugby Union players. The school garden became a community garden in 2002, opened by the Honourable Laurie Ferguson and community member John Koch, who, although retired, still looks after the garden today. The school hall opened in 1986, the support unit in 1993, the first library computer lab in 1997, the original gym and fitness room in 2002 and we have been a CAPA High School since 2012. This year, in addition to 50th Anniversary celebrations and the organisations already mentioned, we have worked on student and parent projects with Woodville Alliance, Auburn Youth Centre, Creating Chances, Western Sydney University, UNSW, Sydney
University, JP Morgan and ABCN, Granville Multicultural Community Centre and the Community Migrant Resource Centre. This year we have added a youth worker to our staff with Yusuf Mehcur, supported with assistance from chaplaincy funding and STARTTS. Our support unit staff and students, along with donations of plants and staff labour from Bunnings, have updated the front entry garden and the outdoor garden area near the community garden. Our Creative and Performing Arts Ensembles presented their annual performance at the Riverside Theatre and at school to a full hall of students from local primary schools. Their annual end of year concert was also very successful, with the audience including local primary students and our students and staff. We were featured in the ‘Our Spectacular’ performance at the Sydney Opera House. Our drama ensemble performed in 2 festivals, and students had the opportunity to perform at many school functions and local community events. Our teaching, administration and support staff
have continued their generous support of
public education in 2016, managing many
educational programs above and beyond
their regular classroom responsibilities. This
includes Ms Tsaloukas, and Mr Woollams,
who assisted behind the scenes for the
Schools Spectacular, which aired on
television the following week.
This year, 2 of our teaching staff were
recognised at the annual Australian College
of Educators’ World Teachers’ Day dinner.
Congratulations to CAPA teacher Ms
Cameron and Maths teacher Ms Fares. We
thank them for their service to our community.
Many of our parents supported projects and events this year including the Flash Mob at Parramatta, a range of community forums managed by the Department of Education and community organisations, recognition assemblies and morning teas, and of course our Open Day in Education week. Parents

donated food and worked on the stall to raise
funds for the P and C. I would like to
particularly recognise our P and C President
Ms Caroline Bunoza for her support. We
hosted a thankyou morning tea in the final
week of term.
I would also like to thank staff who have been
with us for this year or longer who are moving
on to other jobs next year; Mr Roberts, Mr
Awad, Ms Green, Mr Zammit, Ms Zhang, Ms
Sujeevan, Ms Jouni, and Ms Fares. Ms Fares
is absent for part of next year to assist as a
Head Teacher Mathematics in another public
school.
I would also like to particularly recognise the
contribution of 2 long serving Granville South
staff. Ms Pam, ESL teacher, has accepted a
transfer. We wish her well and thank her for
her service to hundreds of students, many of
whom have been new arrivals to Australia
and have benefiting from educational and
emotional support from Ms Pam. Ms
Murdoch, our Kitchen Assistant, is retiring at
the end of this year. She has supported both
staff and students with her meticulous
management of the kitchens.
Finally, I would like to thank all our
community members who worked on 2016
projects and events. It has been a huge year,
with many additional activities and
responsibilities.
I wish you all a safe and happy holiday and
look forward to another successful year in
2017.

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL’S
REPORT
Mr T Price
I am writing this as I wait to go to our annual
awards ceremony so firstly I would like to
congratulate all those students who have excelled
in their studies and are receiving an award. It is
great to see a growing number of students who
are engaged and committed to their own
learning. These are the students who are seeing
the benefits of their hard work. Congratulations
also to hose students who value the education
they are receiving and make the effort to attend
regularly and on time. This certainly pays
dividends in respect of improved learning
outcomes. Secondly I would like to thank all the
parents, family and community members who
support their children in their learning. This
makes my job easier and the work of the
classroom teachers so much more satisfying.
2016 has been a very successful year from my
viewpoint, particularly the myriad of events that
revolved around our 50th anniversary
celebrations. I take my hat off to all the staff
members who worked tirelessly to make this a
success. Also to the many students who rose to
the occasion and supported in so many ways to
help make all the events a success. I am proud to
work in a school where so many people all
contribute towards the common good and
promote our school in a positive light.
I would like to wish all students and their families
a restful and safe break and if you celebrate,
Happy Christmas!

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL’S
REPORT
Ms D Issa
During Term 4, we had many achievements and
celebrations that we shared with our school
community. This includes Principal’s morning tea
to celebrate students’ academic performance,
Remembrance Day and Presentation Day
Ceremony highlighting our students’ academic
success, high attendance, citizenship and
community. Congratulations to all our award
recipients!
Some of the highlights of the term were:
- Academic Review interviews were
conducted with parents of students who
needed to catch up on their studies and
work with their teachers. It’s extremely
important for all students to complete all
Coursework and Assessment tasks before
the end of Term 4.
- Our students have finished their exams,
well done to those students who have
achieved their personal best, your efforts
and commitment to your studies will give
you an opportunity to achieve higher
results in your Higher School Certificate.
- The Homework Centre is a great
opportunity for you to work on your
homework, Assignments, Assessment
tasks and prepare for your exams. We
have trained teachers who are willing and
ready to help you with your studies on
Mondays from 3:15pm – 4:15pm.
- Our Senior Studies take place on Fridays
during periods 5&6 in the CIRCLE; senior
students are welcome to see Mr McLean
or Mr Tsekas for help with their studies.
Finally, thank you to all the students, staff,
parents and helpers from our school community

SCIENCE FACULTY
L’Oreal Girls in Science Forum 2016
On Thursday 27th October, Mr Azzopardi, Dr Lisa
Wallis (Practical student) and five students;
Elizabeth Brown (Year 9), Elizabeth Bunoza (Year
11), Suzi Fadil-Wahib (Year 10), Sarah Kocergin
(Year 10) and Monika Vesse (Year 10), attended
the 2016 L’Oreal Girls in Science Forum held at
the University of New South Wales, Kensington
campus.
This excursion provided our students with an
opportunity to listen to three engaging
presentations from this year’s Australian L'Oréal-
UNESCO For Women in Science Fellows. These
Fellows, all women scientists in the early stages
of their scientific careers, were selected for their
outstanding achievements and contributions in
their chosen fields. Past Fellows have included
biologists, botanists, zoologists, doctors,
astronomers and physicists.
Our students were given the opportunity to hear
from the Fellows including their scientific
interests and the discoveries they have made.
After each presentation, students were able to
ask each female scientist questions and engage in
general discussion regarding their field of
expertise.
The event allowed our five students to listen to
the Fellow’s experience as woman scientists,
while also discussing the potential for future
study or careers in Science.
After the forum, students enjoyed a tour of the
UNSW campus, guided by current UNSW Science
students. Lunch was also provided and allowed a
further chance for students and teachers to
interact with the Fellows.

Year 7 Excursion to Sydney Observatory
and Sydney Harbour Bridge
On Friday 2nd December, Mr Azzopardi, Ms Zhang
and twenty two Year 7 students participated in a
fun and informative excursion to The Sydney
Observatory in Miller’s Point, Sydney.
The excursion was hosted by ASPIRE, which is an
innovative partnership between Granville South
CAPA High School and the University of New
South Wales (UNSW). The program works with
students of all ages to build awareness about
higher education opportunities and encourage
students to think more broadly about their
future.
Within the Sydney Observatory, our students
participated in a ninety minute astronomy
workshop. This workshop provided an
opportunity for students to view the life cycle of a
star in spectacular 3D, journey through space and
time in a digital planetarium, and control a
computerised telescope to look at the surface of
the sun.
Following the workshop, ASPIRE staff and UNSW
student volunteers guided our students with a
walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Students
took the pedestrian walkway on the southern
side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. While walking
across the bridge, students experienced great
views of the Opera House, city skyline and Sydney
Harbour. It was such a beautiful day on the bridge
to frame our memory with big smiles in photos.
Congratulations to the following students for
their participation and excellent behaviour during
the excursion: Belal Abu-Issa, Omar Ajaj, Layal
Ajaje, Mariam Al Hirz, Myah Alameddine, Fatmh
Alassadi, Mohamad Alesbahi, Esam Al Khazaaly,
Maya Bahwiche, Nouhou Barry, Abdel Dib, Maysa

UNIVERSITY OPTIONS
UAC Advice on Subject Bonus Points
Some UAC institutions may allocate bonus points
in recognition of your performance in Year 12
subjects that are relevant to the course/s for
which you have applied. These are subject bonus
points.
Bonus points do not change your ATAR; they
change your selection rank for a particular course
or institution. As the bonus point’s schemes for
each institution, and often for each course, are
different, your selection rank can be different for
each course you list in your course preferences.
