Thoughts from the

Principal

Year 12, 2018, Nears Completion As you read this newsletter, Year 12 are in the process of finishing off their final term of studies at Figtree High School and are deep in preparation for their HSC exams. Their Trial HSC Examinations were held earlier this term and I have been impressed with the way they have continued to attend class and consolidate their learning in order to get feedback and improve on their Trial HSC results. As part of their closing days at Figtree High School, Year 12 have participated in many activities including a themed mufti day: what I want to be when I grow up and teacher v student lunchtime sporting activities, with the teachers getting bragging rights as 5-1 victors. This week Year 12 will attend a picnic day, have a breakfast BBQ and rehearsal for graduation. I would like to thank Ms Harlor and Ms Berriman for their organisation of these activities as well as all of the teachers who have given their time and effort to be involved. The Year 12 Graduation will be held in the Figtree Anglican Church on Thursday 27 September. On this evening, the academic, community and sporting achievements of Year 12 will be acknowledged and I look forward to celebrating this wonderful milestone with all of Year 12 and their families. 2019 Student Leadership Team Named Following an extensive selection process, the 2019 Student Leadership Team has been decided and announced. The process involved self-nomination, interview by teachers Mr Smith, Ms Murphy and myself.

Any student who wished to be considered for a Captain‘s position, was required to deliver a speech to their Year 11 cohort as well as to our current Captains and wider Student Leadership Team. Teachers were also provided with an opportunity to vote. Being at both the interviews and speeches, I was extremely impressed with the calibre and quality of the interviews and speeches. Congratulations to the following students: The School Captains for 2019 are: Georgia Sturman and Daniel Jaques The Vice Captains are: Tazmin Fulcher, Jessica Nagy, Marija Knezevic and Zachary Seymour HSC CAPA Showcase The HSC CAPA Showcase held earlier this month was extremely enjoyable, bringing together the unique talents of our students. A big thank you to Alicia Szoboszlay and the wider CAPA Team for their organisation of this brilliant creative event. 2018, NAPLAN Results NAPLAN Reports were delivered to the school last week. These will be sent home to parents of Year 7 and 9 students this week. We will report back on these in upcoming newsletters after having time to properly analyse our 2018 performance. P&C Meeting At our most recent P&C meeting on 19 September, the parent members supported the appointment of a Community Liaison Officer, Ms Karin Harlor, to work at the school one day per fortnight in Term 4, 2018. This is a school funded position which aims to further enhance links with the Figtree Community of Schools and support planning for Figtree High School’s 50 Year Anniversary in 2019. It was also decided at the meeting that there will be a Pie Drive scheduled for June 2019 to raise funds for Figtree High School.

I would like to thank the P&C for their ongoing support. Please remember that all parents are welcome to attend P&C meetings. The next meeting is on Wednesday 7 November, at 6pm in the Bistro.

the transition to a new uniform for Years 7 and 11 in

2019.

Parents of students currently in Years 7-9 and Year 11

may be interested in purchasing these discounted

items if your child needs new uniform items for 2019.

Parent Parking Concerns

A reminder to parents and carers that both sides of Gibsons road have parking restrictions during the morning drop off and afternoon pick up times, these include No Parking and Bus Zone signs. There have been several visits by NSW Police Highway Patrol cars over the past month, to ensure that these parking restrictions are adhered to. The Figtree High School staff car parks are not to be used by parents to drop off or pick up students. The car park driveways, including the Figtree Anglican Church driveway, should not be used to complete three point turns. At the start and end of the school day, these driveways are extremely busy entry and exit points.

Page 3 of 14

Staff car parks are not pedestrian access points for parents or students. We seek the support of our parents to ensure our roads and carpark spaces are safe for our staff and students to ensure they are incident free. The school has a rear exit gate that enables students to walk north towards O’Briens Road, which has no parking restrictions and is an ideal place to collect your child. Beach Safety – School Holidays

As the warmer weather and the spring school holidays

approach, it is a timely reminder to ensure that your

child is aware of the significant dangers of swimming at

unpatrolled beaches.

Surf Life Saving Australia has a great educational site

called BeachSafe https://beachsafe.org.au/ with

information about rips currents, waves, flags and signs,

weather, surf tips, marine stingers and first aid. It never

hurts to refresh your knowledge about beach safety,

and support your child to do the same.

Swimming at patrolled beaches and staying between

the red and yellow flags will help to ensure a great day

at the beach. Don’t forget the 50+ sunscreen!

Years 8 and 11

Year 11 Transitioning to HSC courses

As Year 11 approach the end of their Preliminary

courses, a number of students have already asked me

about the process of changing their subjects. As we

explained at the Subject Selection Information Evening

held prior to the commencement of senior schooling, it

is our firm belief that 12 units rather than the minimum

of 10 is the best curriculum model for the vast majority

of students. Keeping 12 units (usually this means 6

subjects) rather than reducing to 10 units means that

students retain a “safety net” which means that if

something goes wrong during Year 12, a buffer exists to

ensure that a good ATAR can still be obtained.

Historically, many of our most successful Figtree High

School graduates have also kept the full 12 units for the

whole duration of Year 12. Despite this, there is a

process for dropping subjects that all Year 12 students

need to complete. This involves students completing an

application form and then having an interview with

school staff to discuss their future goals and to help

determine if the course the student wants to drop is the

best course for them to eliminate.

In this way, we are confident that our processes provide

the best possible guidance to support students in their

future transition to the world beyond school. Students

will be able to pick up their application forms in Term 4.

Following the submission of forms, interviews will be

scheduled across Term 4. The first group of students to

be interviewed will be those students who are picking

up additional units. This group includes students picking

up Extension 2 in English or Mathematics as they will

have, in many cases, up to 14 units of study. When these

students have been processed, other students who

have applied to change their pattern of study will be

interviewed. All students are required to attend all

lessons until this process has been completed.

Mobile Phone Use and Social Media

Every year, we speak to students about the appropriate

use of phones and social media, with a great deal of

time spent working with students to remind them about

digital citizenship, respectful behaviour in online

environments and encourage them to use their phones

responsibly and engage in appropriate respectful

interactions when using social media. The eSafety

homepage www.esafety.gov.au has some great

resources for parents and students to assist them to

understand their responsibilities when using social

media, including issues related to the law.

It is also essential to emphasise that students are bound

by the school’s Mobile Phone and Internet Usage

policies and while some of the interactions may occur

before or after school, they can significantly impact on

the wellbeing and safety of students at school.

Therefore, it is important that we seek support from

Page 4 of 14

parents in monitoring their child’s phone usage and

support the school’s policies.

With school holidays commencing next week, I have

sourced the following article on the Parent page of

Reachout.com which provides some ideas for parents

who may be concerned about their child’s screen time.

If you would like to find out more about screen time,

managing screen time, or how to do a family audit

regarding screen time, you can source more

information from:

build/wellbeing/things-to-try-technology/help-your-

Screen Time vs Activity Time

In recent times, the use of mobile phones and

technology has infiltrated our lives to a point where we

now probably can’t imagine how we lived without

them. For young people, technology and smartphones

have been around all their lives and many do not know

a world without them. If you can answer yes to one of

these questions, then this article is worth a read.

1. Are you worried about your teenager's dependence

on their screen?

2. Do you want to inspire your teenager to be more

active?

3. Do you want to help your teenager to take up more

activities?

Parents can be very reliant on their phones too. Screen

time gets a bad rap but isn’t bad if it’s balanced with

activity. And being active is a feel-good habit that, once

you get into it, can remain a habit for life. Here are

different ways to help get young people be active and

reduce their screen time.

Start playing sport

Playing a team sport has heaps of benefits; learning to

work towards a shared goal, having other’s backs, and

camaraderie that forges lifelong friendships. You can

find teams to join in lots of sports. Check out what’s on

at the local community centre and at school.

Alternatively, your teen might prefer a solo sport like

martial arts, swimming or running. You can join a club

or class with these ones or just wing it, remember

YouTube has tutorials for everything!

Playing a casual game with friends

Rather than sitting around on the weekend inside

encourage your teen and their friends to have a game

of backyard cricket, throw a frisbee around, go for a kick

around in the park, or play a game of handball in the

street. Having a basket of relevant equipment at the

front or back door might encourage your teenagers to

grab some equipment when they head out with friends.

Getting into personal fitness

Some people prefer solo active time and there’s plenty

of options for that. Get them on to the 7 minute work

out, couch to 10K, or find out about concession rates at

local gym classes. There are different levels that are

available, even for beginners and teens on a tight

budget. Look for the free apps and outdoor gyms in your

area.

Gaming with active apps Not all screen time is

sedentary time! VR and AR technology is exploding and

bringing with it some creative, and active, takes on

gaming. From Wii Fit and Pokemon GO to Zombies, Run!

and Just Dance, your teen can get both their mind and

their body moving.

Enjoying active leisure

From parkour to ultimate frisbee, biking to snorkeling

there’s a world of active fun stuff out there. Whether

you live in the city or by the sea, check out the indoor

and outdoor activities nearby that are cheap to do or

free.

Going places under their own steam

Walking and cycling is better for the brain than being

stuck in traffic or waiting for the bus. If it’s practical

encourage your child to pick up this healthy habit.

Remind them of things they used to like

It’s really natural for teenagers to chop and change

what they’re interested in. In fact, we all do it! Try and

remember active things your teenager liked when they

were younger and find ways to remind them they had

this interest or help them get into things that fulfil a

similar interest.

Page 5 of 14

Make family time active

Instead of spending family time in front of the television

make a point to get outside or away from screens for

the time that you spend together. Things like hiking,

camping, card games or heading to the beach may seem

a little old school, but you’d be surprised how many

teenagers still enjoy these sorts of activities.

Feeling a little overwhelmed with how to make all this

happen for your teenager? Here are three tips to help

you along the way!

1. Car pool: Connect with the parents of your teenager's

mates and suggest a roster that shares the lifts to

venues around. You'll feel a little less like a taxi driver

plus it's better for the environment.

2. Watch out for bargains: Some of the active hobbies

we’ve suggested require money. However, often

there’s an initial cost for some kit and then that’s it.

Use eBay, Gumtree, op shops and council pickups in

your area to search for things like bikes, balls and

boots. These sorts of things don’t have to break the

bank.

3. Lead by example: Role modelling can be pretty

powerful. You may even suggest to your child that you

tackle it together. That way they won’t feel like they’re

being singled out for their screen use.

pleased to announce that Ms Patricia Morgan will be

returning to her Deputy Principal position at Figtree

High School at the start of next term. I would personally

like to thank the students, parents and staff who have

made the job an enjoyable one. It has been fantastic

meeting a lot of Year 8, 10 and 12 parents this year.

In term 4 I will be returning to my position as Head

Teacher Wellbeing and look forward to teaching my

PDHPE classes. A big thank you also needs to be

extended to Mrs Jill Murphy who has relieved as Head

Teacher Wellbeing while I have been Deputy Principal.

Her hard work and dedication for the wellbeing of all

students at Figtree High School has been greatly

appreciated.

Year 12

This week we farewell Year 12 with a number of

activities that have been organised by their year

advisers – Ms Harlor and Ms Berriman.

Wednesday 26 September – Picnic Day

Thursday 27 September – Principal’s breakfast,

graduation rehearsal with graduation commencing at

6:00pm with canapes prior to the formal ceremony

which starts at 6:30pm.

A big thank you to the Year 12 Advisers – Ms Harlor and

Year 10

I will miss working with the Year 10 cohort, however, I

have loved how a lot of students have grown in maturity

throughout the year. All students have had interviews

in relation to their subject pattern for 2019. Please

remember that line structure sheets must be returned

to Mr Sargent-Wilson by the end of term to ensure

students receive their preferences.

PDHPE Faculty

Report

2018 has been another successful and busy year for the

PDHPE Faculty.

There have been many sporting highlights so far this

year and I hope you have been following these

achievements on the Figtree High School Facebook

page and through sport reports in the school

newsletter. I thought it timely to highlight some of our

BIG achievements.

Athletics – Northern Illawarra Zone Champions and 2nd

in the South Coast Area championships. This is an

outstanding achievement. It is the first time in my 12

years at Figtree High School we have won the Zone

Championships and our 2nd in the Region demonstrates

the depth of athletic talent we have here at Figtree High

School.

Baseball – Final 4 in NSW CHS Proud Shield Open Boys

knock out tournament. Congratulations to Mr Herbert

who coordinates the Baseball program. In the 4 years

he has been coordinating this program he has never lost

to a comprehensive high school and has always finished

in the final 8. On Wednesday September 12 the boys

lost to Hills Sports High School. This school has a

targeted sports program with a paid baseball coach.

The Figtree boys pushed this team all the way to the 7th

and final innings, being defeated 12 – 6. Well done to

the boys in the Open Boys Baseball team. With a

number of Year 12 players leaving the team the team is

embarking on a rebuilding phase.

Sports Uniform – In 2019 the PE/Sports Uniform will

remain the same. The uniform will be available for

purchase through the school as per previous years.

Adolescent Health – in recent times there has been a

number of key research findings in this area in which I

think parents/carers and students should reflect upon.

I will touch on a few in this newsletter edition and refer

to others in future PDHPE editions. In a recent UNSW

National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC)

finding it was revealed that many teenagers should be

aware of “Six” Unhealthy Risk Behaviours. They are;

Physical Inactivity

Poor Diet

Alcohol Use

Smoking

Too much recreational screen time

Poor Sleep

There is an association between teenagers who smoke,

binge drink and have poor diets and higher levels of

distress, depression and anxiety than teenagers who

don’t engage in those health risk behaviours. Inactive

teenagers were also more likely to demonstrate signs of

depression than their active peers.

The question then is to how to avoid the negative health

consequences outlined here. Teenagers should not

smoke or drink alcohol, and they should consume 2

pieces of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables per day and

accumulate 150 minutes of exercise throughout the

week.

Football Success for Alex

Our Year 11 student Alex Masciovecchio, who plays with

Sydney FC U18 team said it was a dream come true to

score the winning goal and secure back to back titles for

the Sky Blues.

YEAR 9 SNOW TRIP 2018

Two weeks ago, Figtree High School Year 9 students

were privileged to attend this year’s Snow Trip. It was a

great opportunity for all students and teachers. We

could not have asked for a better group of friends and

teachers to share this amazing experience with and

luckily, we had no serious injuries. We learnt the simple

and difficult skills for both skiing and snowboarding and

had loads of fun as a year group. We faced some

challenges and the odd obstacle. The chairlifts were a

struggle for most and we are pretty sure the trees and

rocks took more hits than us.

Stack of the trip definitely goes to Liam Smith as he

cruised down Excelerator, showing off down to Mr

Herbert and Mrs Lloyd who were on the chairlift above.

Unfortunately, his skis came off and kept going down

the hill but he came to a definite stop with his face

buried in the snow! Of course, he took it like a

champion. We are all going to remember that one,

Liam!

Overall, it was great 3 days and we all learnt something

new. Thanks to all the teachers who came down with

us and a special thanks to Mr Smith, who put countless

hours into organising this trip for us and making it one

to remember. We had an awesome three days and

would definitely do it again if we had the chance.

YEAR 12 INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY TIMBER

It has been a busy time for our faculty as the Stage 6

students have completed their major timber projects

and associated portfolios. Mr Solah has worked

tirelessly alongside these students coming in early

mornings to ensure their projects were completed on

time. Last week the NESA examiners came to mark

them and the students were delighted to be able to

finally take them home and place them in a position of

pride for years to come.

such a shame that this picture does not show his actual

stylist in Jacob.

The TAS Faculty would like to wish these students the

best of luck in their future endeavours. It is safe to say

that it takes an entire faculty to support students who

need to complete major projects as a part of their HSC.

YEAR 9 FOOD TECHNOLOGY

The end of term is a hype of activity in the kitchens at

Figtree High. Practical examinations and final product

development means that students get to create and

present amazing products. Mrs Goodall’s Food

Technology class have been studying Food Trends and

students were asked to “Deconstruct” a hamburger.

The creations look just as good as they tasted.
