Principal Report

28th August 2017

There’s lots of things I love about winter. Warming up next to the fire at home. Not being woken up by the sun at some crazy hour of the morning. Seeing the vivid variations of green in the paddocks. Something I don’t enjoy though is the sickness that inevitably comes with the season. Term three is a long term, without any public holidays to break it up and it can sap at your energy and immunity reserves. Alas my body has succumbed to the cold in the past couple of days and so I’m writing to you from my sick bed at home.

In the midst of the cold weather, overcast days and illnesses though, I have found it extremely important to be grateful for the positives that come our way each day. For the past three months, I have developed a habit of spending a few minutes each day writing down three things I’m grateful for from that day. I do this just as I’m leaving my office at the end of each school day and without fail as I travel home I do so with a smile on my face. This isn’t to suggest that each day at school is brilliant. There are some days where tough decisions need to be made, where problems arise that can’t easily be solved and where uncomfortable conversations need to be had. But it’s very easy to find three things each day that I am grateful for and writing them down for others to see has helped me to focus on the positives and hopefully bring this attitude of goodness to how I lead our school. If you’re sceptical of doing this yourself, I don’t blame you – I was too before I finally got around to developing a habit for myself. Just as we have been encouraging our students in tutorials this term to focus on what they are grateful for (and write this down), I would encourage everyone in our school community to take a moment each day to reflect on what you are grateful for. The world can always do with more sprouts of positivity.

Something I have been grateful for over the past fortnight is the Presentation Balls where almost 100 year 11 students had the opportunity to dress up, dance and celebrate a ‘rites of passage’ type event with family and friends. Each night was exquisite. The students were beautifully prepared by our dance instructors and did themselves and the school proud as they enthusiastically moved across the dance floor with their partners. I had the opportunity to sit next to city councillors from Moyne and Warrnambool shires – they all commented on how much fun the whole event was and how well the students carried themselves throughout the evenings. It’s easy to dismiss the balls as something from yesteryear that has little relevance in the 21st century. However, there is a significance to the event that cannot be ignored – our students, on the verge of leaving adolescence behind, present themselves before their family and friends and in so doing take one more brave step towards the responsibilities of adulthood.

Another event that I am grateful for is the subject selection expo and interviews, conducted over the past couple of weeks. The decisions that stem from these information sessions and conversations are important as they set up our students to succeed in their chosen areas of the school curriculum. As I say to students, first and foremost it is important to learn how to be yourself and build yourself as a person. From there, the skills you develop can be applied across the fields of art, technology, languages, mathematics, humanities, PE, science, health and English. Subject selections from years 9 to 12 become important as they hopefully begin to shape the learning our students derive inspiration from as they move through the senior parts of secondary schooling. Thankyou for supporting this process this year with your child.

At Warrnambool College we achieve success through persistence, resilience and mutual respect

SUBJECT SELECTION FOR 2018

Thank you to all families/students that attended our Subject Selection day last week. It is vital that students make informed decisions about their subjects for 2018. The deadline for any student who hasn’t chosen subjects is SUNDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER – please use the Edval web choices to do this. There is a link on our school website to this page. Students have been emailed their webcode to enable them to select subjects for next year. After this deadline we will be looking at class numbers and offerings for 2018 and starting the staffing/timetabling process for 2018 in readiness for our Headstart program which begins on the 4th December.

OUTSIDE SPACES DURING LUNCH AND RECESS

We are hoping the weather is starting to become a little bit warmer over the next few weeks. We will be asking students to move out of indoor spaces such as class corridors and to spend their recess/lunch times outside. There are still numerous indoor options for students to utilise if the weather is poor such as the canteen, gymna-sium, library and school hall (opened on poor weather days) if students prefer to remain inside. We encourage families/students to wear appropriate uniform for this time of year. There are plenty of WC uniform options for the winter months including blue tracksuit pants, grey pants, winter skirt, outer shell jacket, WC woollen jumper or the PE rugby top.

PARENT OPINION SURVEY

If you have received an email from us regarding the Parent Opinion Survey the deadline for the completion of this survey has been extended by DET until the 3rd September. This survey has been sent to a random group of WC parents and provides our school with valuable feedback to guide our improvement cycle moving forward.

CHILDERS REPORT

Daffodil Day Events

By the time you read this the events will be run and won, the money will be raised, and our Bullant community will once again have

shown their support for those affected by cancer. Childers leaders have driven a range of events and our community has embraced the

day.

Ewen ‘Burpin’ Burt (Merri House Leader) and Tex (Perkins) O’Keefe

(Year 11 Merri) practicing for the Spaghetti Eating Competition

The Spaghetti Eating competition has taken Grafton Road by storm. Several houses

have taken great effort attempting to fill the vacuum left by the ‘Spaghetti Vacu-

um’, 4 time champ Leima Heremeia. Heats were run to find a contestant in most

houses, and Merri took it to the extreme with a competition between House Lead-

er, Ewen Burt, and Tex O’Keefe. Spaghetti eating was the loser that day, but hope-

fully we’ll have found a winner on Friday.

Visit from Vicky Jellie from Peter’s Project

A local legend, Vicky Jellie, visited our Childers

student leaders to discuss the difference our

fundraising and awareness raising efforts can

make. The local impact of cancer and cancer

support programs was highlighted through the

visit and inspired our leaders to keep per-

sisting with this important work.

Sarah Wallace Wins Acting Scholarship

Sarah Wallace applied for and won the a scholarship to take part in the Melbourne Theatre Company Betty Amsden Youth Scholarship

Course. It is a week long acting course and allows Sarah to access coaching and peer networks that aren ’t available in the South

West. This will inspire and energise Sarah to pursue her passion in our community and into the future. She is new to the school this

year and really loved being part of the musical, Jesus Christ Superstar.

The Wall of Hope

The Wall of Hope that allows students and staff to add messages of hope, support, and

remembrance for all types of cancer and cancer support programs is up in Childers cor-

ridor. Each banner is filling up showing the huge impact of the disease and also allow-

ing a positive way to share feelings about the impact.

Next Fundraiser: Bunnings BBQ

Our next Childers fundraiser is our Bunnings Barbie on the 17th of September. Our student leaders and staff normally support by serv-

ing on the day, and we welcome any Childers student or family members to join the team. Your role could also be eating sausages and

drinking soft drink! Get amongst it!


On Tuesday 15th August 2017 (9:30am-2:30pm) our 7G class presented 5 workshops to students from across our region at Deakin University.

Their own workshops were repeated for two separate audi-ence groups and went for 40 minutes. Our students did work-shops on Global Warming (Tarnia, Paris, Chelsea), Proper-ties of Water (Campbell, Harry, Sam, Duncan and Finn H), Sustainable Energy (Airlie, Finn G, Finley, Ben) Desalination (Missaka, Nik, Ethan, Bluey) and Photosynthesis (Nellie, Mai-sie, Charli, Millie, Molly). After presenting our groups went and experienced two different workshops brought to us by other Primary schools around the region.

It was a very successful day, with our students receiving lots of positive feedback from participating groups. The confer-ence was a great way to share knowledge and passion for the environment we live in.


UN DEBATING

The group of 6 brave Indonesian students set off early Friday morning to have a day of UN debating, with a twist, the entire day was conducted in Indonesian.

We arrive to a sea of blazers, badges and fancy school uniforms…. Our little country kids looked at me and said “Bu what have you done?”… we were one of two schools (the other school only having 2 students) who took the option of wearing the country we were representing dress! The boys looked dapper in their suits and then the girls got changed into their batik sarongs … when the girls entered the sea of students and teachers, everyone turned and looked but much to their delight you could hear echoes of “cantik, cantik” (beautiful!) … we had started as strong favourites with the judges.

We then entered the theatre and were seated in two separate spots one representing Australia the other Indonesia. I sat with the girls while Iqbal supported the boys team. We listened to about an hour of introductions to the topic and how the day would be done, all in Indonesian. I watched these six country kids, put their heads down and take notes while many of the others just kept looking around the room.

Then it was time for the teams to present their position statements, they had 3 minutes then a bell for another 30 seconds to say where their country stood on the issues of “preventing crimes of mass atrocity” ….and the boys representing Australia had to start… I am going to be honest I was feeling very unwell at this point, I was so nervous for them but there was no need. Pak said it best, he said when Charlie Locke started speaking every student in that theatre took a deep breath in (the level of oxygen was reduced in that time), and you could see the looks of concern on their faces…. Were they going to match the fine standard that Charlie had set for the day? He finished speaking and I watched him run of the stage, he had smashed it then we heard another 6 nations, then the girls representing Indonesia had to speak. Tessa English had confided in me that she had never felt so nervous in her life, but she too nailed it… Pak at this point had stated that we are the standouts! He was right.

We then went to morning tea and slowly began mingling with the other nations. Australia was approached by France and Germany who had stated they had no idea what was going on so they will just follow their lead… the girls started working with Russia and our empire began to grow.

The caucus session was big putting forward amendments and then either opposing or supporting them (all of this was in Indonesian too!) At this point the remaining team members who hadn’t spoken took the opportunity to speak.

We then finished the day by voting for and against proposed amendment, China tried to veto it all but were refused permission to do so.

So although there was no overall winner on the day, we definitely left the victors. Six students from the country in a sea of Melbourne private schools, one other state school and another private school from Geelong… stood out as champions on the day. The officials made a point of coming and speaking to them all and congratulating them on their efforts.

We then made the long trip home, Pak did a great drive of negotiating the Melbourne traffic.

The arrived home exhausted but declaring it was a great day and they felt really motivated to study. That it was great spending the entire listening to speaking Indonesian. I was really proud of their efforts and willingness to have a go, even though it was directly related to a SAC, it was just for the joy of learning.

DEBATING Term 3 is Debating time! Our debating program is currently about involvement in the Warrnambool Eisteddfod but I am looking forward to also introducing Inter-house debating next year as well as an inter-house public speaking competition. Stay tuned!!

Once again, Warrnambool College participated with great enthusiasm and success at this year’s Debating Eisteddfod. Firstly, I would like to thank year 7 English SEAL teacher Matthew Buck and Year 8 English SEAL teacher Kelly Brown for coaching class teams and ensuring the year 7/8 Perpetual Shield held pride of place at our college for another year. The success in particular of the Year 8 class will be outlined in Ms. Brown’s report below.

I would also like to thank Nadia Collis for encouraging a novice group of year 8’s to have a go at this challenging but rewarding event. They really showed persistence, resilience and mutual respect!! I look forward to working with Lucy Potter, Charlie Brown, Alexandra Cannon and Ella Wines in year 9. I was also very proud of the VCE team comprising of Tiffany Tracey, Breanna Wines and Kayla Jewell. They were awarded the Bruce Pritchard Memorial medal for being part of the best VCE debate. Congratulations girls and thanks to Hannah Garner for supporting the team on the day as time-keeper. A busy term indeed!

Judy Cavanough

In an outstanding performance in this Year’s Yr 7/8 Eisteddfod Debating, Ali Boylan-Turner of 8G was awarded ‘BEST INDIVIDUAL DEBATER’ of the section as First Negative Speaker for Debate #25: “That all forms of animal racing be banned”. Her team, consisting of Ollie Annett, Nathan Phillips and Hattie Winstanley, secured second place overall for ‘Best Debating Team Performance’.

Ali was earmarked for special mention by Chairman Robert Coffey, who commented that she was “the most promising young debater” he had seen in a long time.

‘BEST DEBATE’ of the section overall was also awarded to our Year 8 Debaters Harvey Considine, Hannah Moon, Tyde Kairl and Shantelle Murray for their efforts against Brauer College in Debate #24: “That vaccination in Australia should be compulsory”. Members of both teams were awarded the Bruce Pritchard Memorial Medallion and certificates.

For our combined efforts in the Years 7/8 Competition Warrnambool College was awarded the ELAINE WALTHER PERPETUAL SHIELD for the best performed school, an honour bestowed for the third year in a row.

What a fantastic performance!!

Year 12 Students – University and TAFE Applications for 2018

Students were provided with a presentation on Thursday 10 August on how to make a VTAC application for entrance in

2018 for a university or TAFE course. We are also providing VTAC Workshops here at school on Tuesday 15 and

Wednesday 16 August at 1:30 pm to assist those who need assistance in making the application. Please encourage your

student to complete this process including the fee of $35:00 (payable by credit card on -line). ASAP.

Its important to make a VTAC Application even if the students is looking to have a gap year ! Why because it enables the

student to gain a university place and then defer it (guaranteed a place in 2019) and we have seen many cases where

students change their mind and if they have not completed the VTAC Application, they might have to wait another 12

months to gain entry.

We will also be providing a transition presentation for parents & guardians in the couple of weeks (Dates not yet

Confirmed). This will include a presentation by John Pegler from Sinclair Wilson on Centrelink qualification for independent

student allowance.

If you have any questions please give me a call here at school.

Over the last few weeks, exciting things have been happening in Hands on Learning. Students have continued to plan and build their own

projects, with some students already taking their masterpieces home. Students have also been very busy clearing out our outdoor area, which

will receive a facelift starting next week. This makeover will include new scoria, pavers and garden beds, which the students will work on for the

remainder of Term 3 and into Term 4. Students have been lucky enough to work on some projects around the school, such as painting a new

shelf for the Art Department and a bookshelf for Wellbeing. These have been great projects for our students on our rainy days and has provided

them the opportunity to interact and work together.

But our biggest news is that after a lot of hard work, our Aquaponics system is in full operation. Hands on Learning were very fortunate to

receive a grant from Wannon Water to donate 100 goldfish for our Aquaponics system. We were lucky enough to receive a visit from Ben

Pohlmer from Wannon Water, who kindly delivered our goldfish and helped us migrate them into their new home. A big thank you to Wannon

Water for our new goldfish and Ben Pohlmer for your invaluable guidance in helping us get our Aquaponics system up and running.

We look forward to sharing the progress of our upcoming projects in Hands on Learning.

Leon and Kym.

Clontarf Academy The NAIDOC week celebrations during the school holidays began a busy Term 3 for the Warrnambool Clontarf Academy boys. A high-

light of the week was their involvement in the official opening of the new façade at South West TAFE. The boys unveiled a piece of

bluestone artwork, which they helped create, and raised the new flags.

Other major events the boys have been involved in include:

Clontarf boys have completed their annual Health Checks. Two of our key focus learning areas, ‘Well-being’ and ‘Education’

were certainly addressed with the support of the Gunditjmara Health Service.

The Warrnambool Clontarf Year 7 boys participated in their end of year ‘Gariwerd’ Grampians Discovery Camp recently. It was

their first interaction with Vic Clontarf Academy boys from Mildura, Robinvale, Bairnsdale and Swan Hill. The camp

furthered their understanding of the natural environment and cultural heritage as well as providing opportunities

to build leadership and team building skills. While it was very chilly, the boys had a great time.

Warrnambool Clontarf Academy have been supporting the local Soup Kitchen throughout this term.

Warrnambool Clontarf boys took part in a ‘Worksite’ visit at Lifeline. The boys learnt the ethos of Lifeline and their vision for

Australia to be free of suicide. The next stage of this visit will be to arrange sessions for the boys to help support Warrnambool

Lifeline in the warehouse.


Over the weekend of Friday 11th to Sunday 13th of August more than 10 of our students and staff were part of the Warrnambool College

team who took on the challenge of living out of a backpack for 40 hours. They did this to raise awareness and funds for refugees and

displaced children.

World vision recognise this as the biggest humanitarian crises of our generation with globally, more the 65 million people having been

displaced. With more than half of these being children the students who took part in this challenge got a small insight into what this

might be like for them.

Congratulations to Molly Morrice, Charli Forsyth, Shion Matsuno, Louise Fowler, Anna Barker, Rhonda Simmons who helped the

Warrnambool College team raise an outstanding total of $1,691.36. This is a tremendous effort on top of the incredible feat of actually

completing the challenge itself.

The school community if very proud of each and every student and staff member who took part in the 40 hour famine back pack chal-

lenge. Please give yourselves a pat on the back and know that you have played a part in rectifying the biggest humanitarian crises of our

generation.

Parent Opinion Survey 2017 WE WANT OUR PARENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK

Our school is conducting a survey to find out what parents think of our school. The

Parent Opinion Survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education

and Training that is conducted amongst a sample of randomly selected parents at

each school.

It is designed to assist our school in gaining an understanding of parents’ perception

of school climate, student engagement and relationships with our parent community.

Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning

and improvement strategies.

The survey will be conducted online by ORIMA Research Pty Ltd and only takes 15

minutes to complete. The survey can be accessed via desktop computer,

laptop, tablet or mobile at any convenient time within the period from Monday 7th

August to Sunday 27th August.

Approximately 30 per cent of parents will be invited to participate in this year’s

survey. All responses to the survey are anonymous.

The online survey is available in English, Arabic, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Chin (Hakha) and Hindi. Survey language guides will be provided in a range of languages including Albanian, Bengali, Burmese, Cantonese, Dari, Filipino, Greek, Gujarati, Indonesian, Japanese, Karen, Khmer, Korean, Macedonian, Malayalam, Pashto, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Serbian, Sinhalese, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Turkish or Urdu.

The survey results will be reported back to our school at the end of September. This

information will then be communicated to the school community through the annual

school report. Last year we used the survey results to develop a wide range of

initiatives for school improvement and we will again be using this data as we plan for

the year ahead.
