RSL and at the St Marys ANZAC march. It is im-

portant that our students are involved in and aware of

the significance of such events, and equally important

that our community is aware of how well our students

carry themselves on such occasions.

We have also had a lot of very positive media cover-

age in both local and metropolitan newspapers, recog-

nising the wide array of student achievements at St

Clair High. It’s always a great delight to see our stu-

dents recognised so publicly.

Building Update

Over the school holiday period myself, Mrs Shepherd

and Mrs Dickson hosted 6 contractors who were put-

ting a tender in for the rebuild to provide a school con-

text. Once a contractor is appointed, the rebuild will

commence.

Our school website will host an update on our rebuild

when it begins. The site will be updated monthly. The

way students move around the school will be altered

as stage one begins. This will involve new paths being

built to cater for extra traffic. One of our car parks will

be closed and some staff will now park on Endeavour

Avenue. This may create greater congestion in the

afternoon when parents pick their children up. We ask

that parents insist their children cross at the pedestrian

crossing on Endeavour to ensure all students get home

safely.

The canteen will need to be moved into a demountable

canteen for a period of time so that work on the slab

above can begin. This move will be completed this

term. The best way to keep informed will be through

our normal communications channel and by attending

our P&C meeting. Our next P&C meeting will be

Tuesday 16th May at 7pm in the Common Room in the

administration block.

Not surprisingly we are well and truly back into our

normal routines for this time of year. There is a lot of

productive work happening in classrooms right across

the school. Years 7 and 9 are just completing the 2017

NAPLAN tests and other Year groups are gearing up

for Half Yearly Examinations and assessment tasks.

There is an enormous amount packed into this term,

including the afore-mentioned tasks, as well as our first

semester reports. For all students we have an expecta-

tion that study routines will step up as we approach the

examination period, and we ask parents for support in

emphasising with your children the importance of do-

ing this. Revision of work covered during the day, com-

pletion of designated homework, assignments and as-

sessment tasks, and a regular pattern of reading are all

part of this process.

In the weeks ahead we will be working through the

many, many non-local enrolment applications we re-

ceive for Year 7 2018. Anyone who actually knows

anything about our school and its qualities won’t be

surprised to discover that we are certainly the school of

choice in this area. As has been the case in recent years

we expect about 70 non-local applications and it takes

our panel quite a while to go through these to determine

who we will accept. For those who would like to under-

stand a little more about why our school is in this posi-

tion, you can find all the facts and figures in our Annual

School Report which contains very detailed information

about our school, our student profile and achievements,

and our academic performance in all external examina-

tions. It is available for download from the school web-

site. I encourage all members of our community to read

it as it really demonstrates just how well this school

provides a terrific learning environment for the stu-

dents.

Many parents have already downloaded our free St

Clair High School phone app. It’s a really quick and

easy way to stay in touch and communicate with the

school. For those who haven’t downloaded it yet I en-

courage you to do so. For those who have, an upgrade

has recently been completed which can be downloaded

from either the Play Store for Androids, or the Apple

store for iPhones. This is a very easy way to receive

updates and alerts from the school!

Congratulations!

Our student leaders represented our school with great

dignity at the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at St Marys

NAPLAN

Year 7 and 9 have completed their NAPLAN testing this week. Miss Holt, HT Teaching and Learning,

and the wonderful Learning Support team organised the tests and provided students with the best op-

portunities to demonstrate their Personal Best. Families were provided with lots of supporting infor-

mation leading up to these tests. In the media there is always lots of publicity regarding the pressure

the exams place upon students or the results of the exams. However, this is just one measure used to

asses a student’s progress. The results are used as a diagnostic tool to identify areas individual students

required extra assistance as well as identify particular strengths and areas for development for the dif-

ferent cohorts. We always remind students that NAPLAN is one test on one day – it does not provide a

full picture of a student’s ability. It does, however, provide us all with valuable information to support

all students. Results will be available later this year. If any parent believes that their son or daughter

needs additional assistance they should contact Mr Thurtell as the Learning Support Coordinator, or

the year adviser of their child’s year.

Year 11 Camp

Mrs Lowe and a team of teachers accompanied Year 11 on their Cross Roads Camp at Tea Gardens.

The feedback from students was full of praise and extremely positive. Those students who could not

attend were provided with an alternate program organised by Mr Andrawis. This program is a manda-

tory requirement for all Year 11 students and covers a wide range of material including team work,

resilience and safe social behaviours. Congratulations to all staff and students involved.

Assessment Period

Weeks 5 and 6 of Term 2 will see students in Years 7-10 involved in a formal assessment period.

Many courses will take this opportunity to have students complete their Half Yearly Examinations.

Attendance during this period is vital. Students are always invited to use the Homework Centre for ad-

ditional support. This is open on Wednesday afternoons. We wish all students every success during

this assessment period.

Students in Year 11 and 12 need to ensure that they regularly refer to their Preliminary and HSC As-

sessment guides and organise their time effectively in order to meet individual subject assessment re-

quirements. Please ask questions if you unsure of anything. In the senior years processes do change

due to requirements of BOSTES for the HSC credential. If senior students are absent for a formal as-

sessment task they must follow the correct processes, including providing a medical certificate and

completing a misadventure form. The school should also be contacted on the day of an assessment task

if a student is unable to attend.

Wearing of School Uniform

Thank you to the many parents who ensure their children come to school in their full school uniform

including the wearing of enclosed leather shoes on a daily basis. It is expected that students wear

school uniform during school hours, travelling to and from school and when engaged in school based

activities out of normal school hours unless indicated otherwise by the Principal. We are fortunate to

have a school uniform shop operated on Tuesday by the friendly staff which enables parents to pur-

chase uniform items. You can also purchase second hand uniform from Mrs Owston at a reasonable

price. We as a staff and community actively promote the wearing of school uniform and leather shoes.

PE shirts are not a part of regular school uniform and should not be worn to school by students but

brought to school and changed into for PE and Sport. Positive comments are made regularly to our stu-

dents who support the school ethos, have pride in their school and represent it well.

Inadequate footwear can be a Work Health and Safety (WHS) issue for our students and may prevent

them from actively participating in their learning and satisfactorily achieving their learning outcomes.

Parents pool their tips

Ask your child to write all their teachers' names on their timetables and make a copy for the fridge. If

they have a mobile phone, have them take a photo of their timetable so they have it with them all the

time. Read more tips from experienced parents.

Benefits of team sports

If you want your child to grow up to be a confident and well-adjusted adult, then team sports may well

be the answer. Benefits include learning how to be more resilient, and being less likely to feel isolated.

However, in 2017, the second dose of the HPV vaccine will be delayed until later this year to accommo-

date the introduction of the Meningococcal Vaccination Program for students in Years 11 and 12.

NSW Health is offering vaccination against four types of meningococcal disease (given as one injec-

tion) through the school vaccination program. Signed parental/guardian consent must be provided.

Students in Years 11 and 12 have received their Vaccination consent forms from their Year Adviser. If

your child has not received the consent form, they can collect one from Mrs Owston.

School uniforms

The correct wearing of uniform not only identifies our students as belonging to St Clair High School but

enhances their safety. Staff expect students to wear the uniform during school hours, while travelling to

and from school, and when engaged in school activities out of school hours.

We ask for your support to reinforce the correct wearing of the St Clair School Uniform with your chil-

dren.

Year 11 Crossroads

Congratulations to our Year 11 students who actively participated in the camp and school based program.

Special thanks to our Year 11 student adviser Sue Lowe for her organisation of the camp and also to Re-

becca Ralph and James Thurtell for assisting the camp. Reports from staff were that our students were

enthusiastic, respectful and receptive students with an excellent level of participation in all the activities.

The school based program was delivered by a wide variety of staff and thanks must go to them all with a

special mention to our Assistant Year 11 Adviser, Meina Andrawis for his coordination of the program.

Mental Health – information for parents and caregivers

There has been an increasing concern in the community regarding the impact that a recently

aired Netflix series called '13 reasons why' has had on young adults.

The series depicts a young woman who suicides and presents viewers with very graphic and confronting

messages inclusive of suicide method and means.

As confronting as this message is, we as a school community must be aware of the dangers and risks as-

sociated for children and young people who have been exposed to this content. It is essential we are all

aware and know how to best support our young adults.

The following information comes from Headspace.

Young people can go through many different changes as they grow up. Raising sensitive issues and re-

solving problems that arise along the way can be challenging for them.

It can often be hard as a parent to know the difference between normal behaviour, such as occasional

moodiness and irritability, and an emerging mental health problem.

If a young person develops a mental health problem it is important that they get support from both their

family and friends and health professionals.

A young person who has good mental health has good emotional and social wellbeing and the capacity to

cope with change and challenges. Feeling down, tense, angry, anxious or moody are all normal emotions

for young people, but when these feelings persist for long periods of time, or if they begin to interfere

with their daily life, they may be part of a mental health problem. If you think you know a young person

whose mental health is getting in the way of their daily life, it is important to let them know you are there

to support them.

Warning signs

Most parents can tell when something is out of the ordinary, but there are also signs that suggest a young

person might be experiencing a mental health problem. These are new, noticeable and persistent changes

in the young person, lasting at least a few weeks, including:

Not enjoying, or not wanting to be involved in things that they would normally enjoy.

Changes in appetite or sleeping patterns.

Being easily irritated or angry for no reason.

Their performance at school is not as good as it should be or as it once was.

Involving themselves in risky behaviour that they would usually avoid, like taking drugs or drinking

too much alcohol.

Experiencing difficulties with their concentration.

Seeming unusually stressed, worried, down or crying for no reason.

Expressing negative, distressing, bizarre or unusual thoughts.

PTO

How to find help

If you are worried about the health and safety of a young person please do not hesitate to contact either

your child’s Year Adviser or myself.

Some other strategies include:

Talk openly and honestly with them, and let them know that you are concerned.

Reassure them that you will be there for them, and ask what they need from you.

Let them know that there is lots of help available.

Help find an appropriate service, such as a headspace centre and support them in attending.

Ask direct questions if you are concerned about suicide. For example, have you been thinking about

death? Have you thought about ending your life?

Help them build a support network.

Look after yourself as well. Get some support by talking to someone you trust, and seek profession-

al help for yourself if you need it.

Year 11 Crossroads Camp 2017

On Wednesday the 3rd of May 69 Year 11 students, Mrs Ralph, Mr Thurtell and myself left school at

8.15 to embark on our journey to the Great Aussie Bush Camp at Tea Tree Gardens near Newcastle for

three days. The students were beyond excited.

The students were allocated groups for their activities and they embraced these groups. The activities

included kayaking, high ropes, survivor challenges, giant swing, Initiatives and the famous mud run.

The students were encouraged to work as a team to complete these activities.

Throughout the 3 days the students also took part in the crossroads program where they discussed the

consequences of drugs, alcohol, sexual behaviour and choices.

Year 11 were outstanding in their attempts to become involved and they made me proud with their will-

ingness to try the activities with enthusiasm.

A big Thank You to Mrs Ralph and Mr Thurtell for joining us.

Over the April school holidays, eight of our Pasifika and Maori student leaders committed themselves to

attending up to 4 days of leadership workshops in and around Sydney. They interacted with other high

school Pasifika students and were inspired by young leaders responsible for establishing environmental

and community organisations that have positively impacted on our society.

Students travelled to Redfern Community Centre to do a workshop with Y.A.R.N, the indigenous

Youth Awareness Raising Network and to hear from Indigenous Elders. They also heard from representa-

tives of Sydney University and UTS about pathways to university. On another day, students had the op-

portunity to work with Maori artist Angela Paikea on the traditional art of weaving at Blacktown Arts

Centre. Students then got their hands dirty at a bush regeneration program in Granville-Parramatta before

heading off to Bondi Junction on another day, to hear from Tim Silverwood, founder of environmental

group Take3. Many of the workshops had an environmental focus, tying in with the 2017 Sydney Pacifica

theme of “The Rising Tide’.

Our students were worthy representatives of St Clair High School, receiving many compliments

for their enthusiasm, commitment and generosity. They started term 2 eager to take on the challenge of

leading the school’s cultural contribution at the Sydney Pacifica festival on 26th July 2017.

Congratulations to Natalia Ivirangi, Nyah Mason-Whatiri, Margaret Suluape, Emilia Mayol, Josh

Alai and Spencer Abraham, Angel Peniamina, Priscilla Aleni and Bethany Patea.

Personality P.A.T.H.E wayPersonality P.A.T.H.E way As part of the school’s Pasifika Program, a group of Year 10 and 11 Pasifika and Maori students

had an opportunity to visit the Nirimaba campus of Western Sydney University.

Working with mentors from PATHE (Pasifika Achievement To Higher Education) students

were challenged to explore the campus, creating a video blog along the way. Competition was fierce to

be the first group to locate university facilities, collect the required information and return to the start-

ing point without getting lost or losing group members along the way. The victors, Team JSnacks, re-

ceived a show bag of WSU and PATHE gear.

Students also explored their personality type and researched suitable careers and the pathways

to get them there. Some courageous students stood up to share their findings in front of their peers. The

students also had an opportunity to hear from the inspiring PATHE mentors about their journey to ter-

tiary education. Students also enjoyed icebreaker activities out in the sunshine.

Thank you to the Office of Widening Participation and PATHE for making this opportunity

available to students.

Year 12 Art Panel 2017

Year 12 are currently reaching the halfway point of their final year. For Year 12’s studying Visual Arts

their “Body of Works” are beginning to take shape. The artworks so far range in a variety of art forms

such as drawings, mixed media, wet/digital photography, photoshop and print making while concen-

trating on a range of different inspirations and themes.

On the 14th and 17th of March, 2017 students and their teacher, Miss Rainsford, invited parents and

teachers to an “Art Panel” to discuss the development the progress of their artworks so far. As students

confidently presented their works in progress to a panel of creative and inspiring teachers such as Mrs

Cheryl Saunders, Ms Sema Tarar, Mrs Sylvia Cenda as well as Miss Rainsford, all engaged in deep

and meaningful conversations about the amazing work students have been producing. The “Art Panel”

also critically analysed the concepts and subject matter of each “Body of Work” and offered outsider

views, feedback, artists and ideas that students can consider further.

It was great to see parents get involved and give some interesting suggestions to inspire their child’s

artwork further. It was great to see their supportive attitude in regards to their child’s artistic endeav-

ours.

The “Art Panel” was very engaging, inspiring, informative and beneficial for ideas of their future art-

works. The “Art Panel” are very excited to see the end results of these “Body of Works” especially as

students are very confident about their own art making.

I would like to take this wonderful opportunity to thank the students, parents and teachers who attend-

ed The “Art Panel” and to recognise Year 12 for achieving their personal best.

you through the process:

It’s dangerous!

Deodorant sprays are a health hazard to some of our students and staff. Please

understand that some people suffer from Asthma and other related respiratory

conditions and spray deodorants can cause a serious risk to them. Please don’t

allow your children to bring these to school. Also, if your child does suffer from

Asthma we ask that you provide the school with your child’s Asthma Action Plan.

Pro-formas are available from our Library SASS staff to assist you in the

preparation of this important document.

FACEBOOK or Whatever!

It is not OK for students or their parents to make defamatory comments about other people

online. There is no excuse!

One of the greatest challenges facing all schools at the moment is the use and abuse of social network-

ing sites like Facebook, Ask, Snapchat, Instagram and others. We constantly provide opportunities for

parents and students to understand how to be safe online.

We need your help and understanding. We need you to ensure that you and your children understand

that comments made online can not only be hurtful, but also illegal!

The school, and individuals at the school including staff, is completely entitled to take legal and / or

disciplinary action if they are the victim of online vilification.

Our school has also updated it Student Welfare Policy to incorporate information about Cyber Bullying

and responsible Digital Citizenship. We regularly remind students about their responsibilities and hope

that all parents will also reinforce the need for responsible online behaviour.

If you don’t let us know, and something happens to your child requiring us to

contact you urgently ….

If there’s an emergency we need to be able to reach you!

Nepean Community College

There are so many programs to choose from including photography, arts and crafts, cooking, computers

and heaps more. We are really lucky to be one of only a few schools in the Nepean / Blue Mountains

area that is able to offer our community such a service. It all here for you!

For more details go to www.ncc.nsw.edu.au

Some safety messages – please help!

From time to time it’s important to remind everyone about some things that need constant attention. We

ask every parent for your understanding and support in relation to the following;

Full school uniform includes the correct footwear. No parent should allow their son or daughter to

come to school without safe footwear. Fashionable canvas shoes, no matter what colour are not

safe and should not be worn to school under any circumstances. Yes, everyone, both junior and

senior students!

Deodorant sprays are a health hazard to some of our students and staff. Please understand that

some people suffer from Asthma and other related respiratory conditions and spray deodorants can

cause a serious risk to them. Please don’t allow your children to bring these to school. Also, if

your child does suffer from Asthma we ask that you provide the school with your child’s Asthma

Action Plan. Pro-formas are available from our Library SASS staff to assist you in the preparation

of this important document.

Please be aware that the school day starts at 8-30am. Students are expected to be at school when

the warning bell rings at 8-25am, ready to start period 1 at 8-30am.

Homework help

Do you struggle to understand your child's homework? Does your child need to practise their spelling

and times tables? Are you looking for inspiration for projects and assignments?

The free School A to Z app has been created by the Department of Education and Communities to help

parents and their school-aged children, wherever and whenever they have homework and study

questions.

Homework and multi-tasking

Somewhere along the line we seemed to have absorbed the idea that teenagers can multi-task perfectly

because they're digital natives. Can kids really do their homework and multi-task?

Managing risk-taking in teen boys

Today's ‘Nintendo' generation of teen boys get to save the

world every day on the computer. In the real world, they can

be forbidden from going down the road alone.

It's a conundrum parents need to be aware of because without

the chance to take part in real adventures, things can become a

bit dull – teen boys' desire to explore life can get out of hand if

they're not given some space to do it safely.
