Next week recognises the fantastic efforts of our School Support Offi cers and Government Services Employees with National Support

Staff Week. Above: Steve O'Donnell, Steph Bishop, Mark Jakeway, Peter Murphy,

Kaye Clancy, Tracy Wilson, Ann Richardson & Madonna Dolphin.

I often think that being a school principal is a lot like being a parent. Sometimes your children achieve things that make you enormously proud and sometimes they make decisions that leave you disappointed and wondering where you went wrong. Such has been the last two weeks at Kapunda High School.

THE PROUD MOMENTS…

THE YEAR 12 DRAMA PRODUCTIONEarlier this week our Year 12 Drama students, ably assisted by a supporting cast of year 8-12s, performed their externally assessed production of Between These Lines. It was a very polished performance and enormously enjoyed by both Tuesday and Wednesday night‛s audiences. The students made the characters very believable and after a short period of time I forgot that I was watching 17 and 18 year olds playing different parts. Instead I was watching real people with real lives and real emotions.

Preparing for such a production is a three month labour of love with many after-school, weekend and holiday rehearsals. In that context, I‛d like to acknowledge the commitment of the students and their teacher, Mrs Madeleine Hart – the hard work defi nitely showed through the performance.

YEAR 12 RESEARCH PROJECT RESULTSLast week we received notifi cation of the Stage 2 Research Project results – and they were certainly very impressive.

100% of students who submitted at the end of Semester 1 were successful in gaining a ‘C or better – essential for completing the South Australian Certifi cate of Education (SACE).

Equally impressive was the proportion of students who gained A and B grades. In fact, in Research Project A, 59% of KHS students gained As or Bs compared with 28.5% across the state. In Research Project B, a whopping 69.5% of students achieved B+ or better compared to the state average of 42.2%.

Special congratulations to Katie Christian who achieved an A+ - just one of 351 achieved across the state from over 10,000 who submitted.

Approximately 20 students are still working on their Research Project and will be submitting at the end of this term.

Again, I would like to acknowledge the work of Research Project teachers: Jill Nash, Craig Cope, Alex Glen and Penny Chancellor. As a former Research Project teacher, I am acutely aware of how much additional time goes into supporting students through this journey.

OPERATION FLINDERS PRESENTATIONLast week, our Well Being Leader, Lee-Anne Cummins, and I, along with many ‘actual‛ parents, attended the Operation Flinders presentation in the Light Regional Council chambers.

Operation Flinders sees students challenge themselves by undertaking a trek through the remote Flinders Ranges. In fact this team of female students (from Kapunda and Nuriootpa High Schools) walked for over 100 kilometres through mountainous terrain and survived without all the modern conveniences of life – toilets, showers, beds and any form of technology (no phones, hair dryers, microwaves, etc). What they proved to themselves was that they had a great deal of physical and mental strength to call on when things got tough. Hopefully they will draw on this in the future as they encounter life‛s twists and turns.

Congratulations to Kaileigh Hoerisch, Raina Mace, Makailee Weltmann and Bella Schrapel for fi rstly

taking up the challenge but then also coming through such a once in a lifetime experience with such strength and assurance. I‛d also like to acknowledge our Pastoral Care Worker, Felyka Leske for accompanying the students as the KHS representative.

We are greatly appreciative to all the local sponsors – especially the Light Regional Council – for supporting our students‛ participation in Operation Flinders.

POSITIVE PARTICIPATION IN REPRESENTATIVE SPORT AND CAMPS AND EXCURSIONS

It has been great to see so many students take up the opportunity to get involved in learning beyond the school.

Congratulations to Darcie Brown and Zoe Perry who recently represented South Australia at the national under 15 football carnival in Perth. A special ‘well done‛ to Darcie who was named in the All Australian team at the end of the carnival.

A number of students have also participated positively in regional sporting carnivals – most recently basketball and 9-Aside football.

Additionally, we‛ve had students in Year 11 participate in the City Escape overnight camp (incorporating a visit to the Research Project Expo) and the Year 8 Geography fi eldwork trip through the Barossa. Overwhelmingly, the feedback from staff was very positive.

The disappointments…

MANAGING CONFLICTOf late, there has been a ‘spike‛ in incidents involving confl ict between students. These have generally occurred in the yard at recess or lunch time and involved students confronting others about rumours they have heard.

An aggressive response to rumours is never a good option as things can quickly spiral. Threats of violence as well as actual violence is one of the reasons students can be suspended from school and repeated or high level incidents can lead to exclusion (4 to 20 weeks according to their age).

At Kapunda High School we always encourage students to talk to a trusted adult if they are having issues with another student. That way a plan can be made for trying to resolve the situation.

SOCIAL MEDIAI have also become concerned to hear of some poor decisions around use of social media of late. Social media has so many positives but when it is used to threaten, humiliate or ridicule others, it is very damaging to all concerned.

Most of this occurs outside of school hours, but if it impacts on students at our school then we can become involved and put sanctions in place where appropriate.

I encourage parents to also report incidents to the e-safety commissioner. The address is: https://www.esafety.gov.au/reportcyberbullying

HAS THE SCHOOL DIARY PASSED ITS USED BY DATE?With the extensive use of DayMap across our school, we are reviewing whether there needs to be a physical diary any longer.

If you have any thoughts about this issue, please email: [email protected] or put your ideas in writing and leave at the Reception desk, addressed to the Principal.

STUDENT ILLNESSES

From time to time, common illnesses become prevalent amongst our students. Though the school promotes regular attendance, if a child is unwell, and particularly with communicable diseases such as gastroenteritis or influenza, parents are encouraged to keep them at home.

This will help prevent other students and staff from becoming unwell. It will also reduce discomfort for your child, as there are limited facilities at the school to care for them.

If a child is ill while at school, parents will be contacted.

Thank you for your support with this matter.

Subject Selection for 2018This term sees the start of the process for subject selection; all students from Year 8 to 11 will need to choose their subjects for 2018. Starting with Year 11, there will be a series of common steps for each year level to ensure students make the best possible choices for their pathway.

These common steps involve:

• Over the following week during lessons, information is shared by subject teachers with their classes about subjects offered in that curriculum area.

• A Parent Information Evening is held for year 8 and 9 students and families explaining the process and giving relevant information to assist with choosing subjects.

• Students complete their subject choices on-line.

• Choices made will generate classes and a school timetable is then designed. Early in Term 4 all students and parents will receive a letter confi rming the choices made and any changes that are required due to timetable clashes or classes which are not running. Changes of subject choice can be made at this point.

Parent information in the form of short videos and fact sheets are available on the school website, this includes:

• SACE information• VET information• University information• Kapunda High School Subject information

Tim JonesDeputy Principal

Two year 12 KHS students have entered artwork into the annual Creative Souls – Emerging Artists Exhibition as part of this year‛s SALA festival.

Julius Bader and Annaliese Pasfi eld were among 13 young people to show their work in an exhibition promoting regional art by emerging artists between 15-30 years of age.

Unable to support our representatives at the opening on 30 July, due to offi cially opening a SALA exhibition at the Kapunda Community Gallery, I decided to view the exhibition the following day. I was exceptionally proud of both of our students whose works presented very well in an overall impressive collection of raw talent.

Not surprisingly, Annaliese won an award (with a monetary prize!) for her large water colour titled Opheliac. Annaliese had been learning to master watercolours over the past year or so, outside of school, and the two pieces produced in this medium demonstrated creativity, skill and utilised a mix of traditional and contemporary aspects.

‘Award or no award, the Creative Souls Exhibition is an extraordinary opportunity for me to communicate and share art of such a strong personal signifi cance. It is also a kick start to my career as a self-taught artist. I highly recommend anyone with a passion for art to enter‛. Annaliese Pasfi eld

Annaliese had sold Vanitie‛s Bloom before it was even hung, and prize winning Opheliac appealed to me so much that I simply had to acquire it for my small, but growing collection of impressive student work.

The Creative Souls exhibition at the Barossa Regional Gallery has been a exciting opportunity for Annelise and myself, to represent Kapunda High School. As the main SALA (South Australian Living Artists) exhibition in the Barossa, I found it exhilarating and it provided an important opportunity to associate with like-minded, creative young people. Julius Bader

Well done to both Julius and Annaliese for being brave enough to exhibit in such a professional community space. Congratulations, Annaliese, for your well-deserved award and sales. Like Annaliese, I would encourage other KHS students to consider entering in the future, if you have a desire to create art.

The Creative Souls exhibition can be viewed at the Barossa Regional Gallery, 3 Basedow Road, Tanunda until 2 September, between 11am and 4pm daily.

The Kapunda High School Centenary Foundation, as part of the Country Education Foundation of Australia, is pleased to announce the opening date for their 2018 funding round of scholarships and grants.

The Foundation, now in its tenth year, advises that students of Kapunda High School are now able to apply for fi nancial assistance with their post-school education and training as from Friday, 4 August 2017, following the launch of the 2018 round.

Secretary, Mrs Anne Hornsey, said “As a result of the extreme generosity of many donors to our Foundation, we are in a position to make over $25,000 available to a range of students who are embarking upon, or continuing with, a vocational pathway or a course of study in 2018. In the past, assistance has ranged from $500 to $2000 per grant.”

“This year we are currently supporting 20 students who are pursuing studies and careers in areas as diverse as Hospitality, Criminology Studies, Electronic Engineering, Teaching and Nutritional Studies, to name but a few”.

Daniel Wilsdon, a year 12 student from 2015, who is now undertaking a Bachelor of Business (Tourist & Event Management) spoke to current year 12s about his experiences as a fi rst year student, then as a continuing student, managing his course and part-time work. He expressed appreciation of the Ahrens Regional Educational Award he had received, along with support from the University of South Australia through its matching funds partnership with the Country Education Foundation of Australia. He encouraged all current students to apply for assistance, acknowledging he had benefi ted greatly from the support available.

Current year 12 students are eligible to apply for

funding consideration for 2018 and are invited to collect a brochure from the school reception offi ce, or go directly online at the Country Education Foundation‛s website at www.cef.org.au , click on STUDENT GRANTS and follow the prompts. Applications close at 4:00pm Friday, 15 September 2017.

Marisha Hughes and Fern Moyle (below) with KPS students.

From the beginning of 2018, all families will be expected to have made arrangements for their child to have a device for school. The aged laptops and desktop computers will be removed from service at the end of this year.

What are the main options for students who do not currently have a device?Families can:

• Purchase a ‘recommended‛ device through our technology partner, LWT (Learning With Technologies) – see the BYOD section on the KHS website. This can either be an outright purchase or a monthly payment (with fi nance).

• Purchase a device through another retailer. (make sure that it meets the minimum specifi cations –see below)

• Apply for a long term loan of a school owned device.

What are the minimum specifi cations?Recommendations for devices:

• Battery life to last the whole school day• Screen size is at least 10 inches (e.g. not mobile

phones or mini tablets) • Highly recommend Windows or Mac Laptops.• Android and IOS tablets may not support all

required applications and may make it diffi cult too, for entry of written assignments.

• Processing power: Most new laptops will have adequate processing power. Whilst the higher i5 or i7 processors will give better performance they are not required for school applications.

• Storage: Recommend an SSD Hard drive 64gb or above. SSD drives have no moving parts and are therefore less likely to be damaged.

• RAM: 4gb• Warranty: recommend 3 years – but it‛s up to the

individual.

How do I apply for a long term loan?In Week 5 of term there will be a mail out to all 2018 families explaining all aspects of BYOD. As part of this mail out, families will be asked to indicate which option they will be taking up in 2018.

Families who indicate that they wish to apply for a long term loan device will then be sent the application

form to complete. It will include further information about the terms and conditions of the long term loan.

To be considered for a long term loan, application forms will need to be returned by the end of this term. Allocations will be made in the fi rst few weeks of Term IV.

What is the school doing to improve the reliability of the internet at school?We have recently paid for an audit of our infrastructure and will be responding to the results of this to ensure improved wireless connectivity across the school from the beginning of 2018.

We are also in the process of connecting to the NBN and additionally, DECD has indicated that we are a priority for increased bandwith as it attempts to improve the whole system.

We are also moving away from the virtual desktop (VDI) solution and will be establishing a portal from which students can download all software directly onto their devices.

During the school holidays in the term 2-3 break, I participate in a program called Youth Parliament. The YMCS‛s Youth Parliament is an apolitical program that reaches out to the politically minded youth of South Australia who want to make a change in the world we live in. Societal standards and age-based discrimination are two of the reasons why the youth of South Australia are not given a big enough voice for change. Youth Parliament is about addressing this.

The program consisted of two parts, a training weekend and residential week. The program started in early March with the training weekend being fi rst on the agenda. Teams from all over South Australia met in Adelaide‛s CBD for a two day event where we got a chance to learn about parliamentary process and Bill writing as well as meet the other teams.

After the training weekend, teams had three months to formulate a Bill that would be debated during residential week. These Bills were based on something the teams were passionate about.

Topics for these Bills ranged from 'licences for cyclists' to 'forming a nuclear power plant to combat the rising power issues'. My team's Bill was to form a facility for parents in prison to live with their 0-5-year-old children.

These Bills were then debated during residential week in the South Australian Parliament House, whilst participants boarded at Rostrevor College.

The program is such a fantastic way to speak to like-minded people and learn more about what youth

can achieve. Everything about the program made it something I will never forget.

I want to thank The Hon Tony Piccolo, The Light Regional Council and Kapunda High School for sponsoring me for this program.

It was such a fantastic opportunity for me to broaden my views on how I see my State. I hope that Kapunda High School will continue to make this sponsorship available to more young people who can enjoy the great program, as I have.

Elijah SmithYear 10 student

Recently, year 11 students in the English classes of Ms Robinson and Mrs Newbold visited the junior classes of Kapunda Primary School.

Currently, the year 11 students are studying Children's Literature. They have been reading a wide variety of examples, focusing on genre, themes, purpose and audience, as well as language devices such as rhyme, repetition, alliteration, personifi cation, metaphors and similes. The aim is to then write their own book, using these techniques.

Our students read books to the junior primary students, and then the children read to them. The year 11s asked the children about their favourite books and topics, with the intention of using these ideas in their own original story.

We plan to return to Kapunda Primary in coming weeks and our students will read their own creations to the young students.

The year 11s found the visit to be entertaining and Right: Eric Fawcett with KPS student.

enlightening, and are looking forward to the return visit.

We were fortunate enough to host ten students from Hachioji Junior High School from 26 July - 4 August. The Japanese students were hosted by local families and attended Kapunda High School for the duration of their stay.

Whilst the students were here they engaged with a variety of different activities that we offer throughout the school. They attended ESL lessons, created Australian artwork, played Australian sports including AFL, made and engraved boomerangs in Design and Technology , experienced different science experiments as well as attending lessons with their buddies along with a number of other activities.

On Tuesday, they went on a day

excursion to the Gorge Wildlife

Park and the Whispering Wall accompanied by

their buddies. The students were able

to get up close to Australian native animals and were

lucky enough to hold a koala and pat

kangaroos. They thoroughly enjoyed

their day and it was a great experience for our students to spend the day communicating with the

Japanese students and learning about their culture.

We would like to thank all the families and students that were involved in making this a successful trip for the Hachioji students.
