PRINCIPaL'S REPORtNaPLaN

The National Literacy and Numeracy

Testing results arrived in the school

last week and were mailed out to

parents this week. The inormation

sent to parents includes a coveringletter rom the school, an inormation

pamphlet rom ACARA (the

organisation who oversees NAPLAN)

and o course the results o testing

in the areas o: Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar and

Punctuation, and Numeracy.

Student results are displayed on a graph showing 9 bands

or levels o perormance, a shaded area showing where

60% o students in that year level achieved across the

nation, a dot showing the students level o perormance

and an arrow indicating the national average level o

perormance. I you have diculty interpreting thisinormation please contact the school so that we can

unpack what this inormation is saying about your son or

daughter.

Overall we are pleased with the results o our students

on this years NAPLAN with growth rates rom Year 7

to 9 being at the state average in all areas tested. This

suggests that the work undertaken by English and Maths

teachers is impacting on student learning as captured

in these tests. We were also really pleased to see the

highest ever scores achieved or Year 9 since NAPLAN

was introduced in the areas o: Reading, Spelling and

Numeracy - well done to the Year 9 students.

What is important to remember is that the inormation

contained in the NAPLAN report is true only o

perormance on the day and may not be truly

representative o how a student is travelling in English and

Maths. To ensure we have an accurate picture o student

perormance the school uses a variety o testing procedures

including AIM On-line Tests in both English and Maths.

I you have any concerns about your sons or daughters

NAPLAN results please ring the school to talk to your

childs Maths or English teacher.

Yer 12s - Good LucAs Year 12 enter their nal week o schooling ater 13

years o ormal education, I would like to take this chance

to congratulate them on their achievement o nishing their

Year 12 studies and wish them well or their upcoming

exams. We know that students should eel condent that

they have been well prepared or this nal test and that the

hard work they have invested into their studies will pay o

in this exam period.

Pren Opinion Survey

Thank you to the 89 parents who responded to this years

Parent Opinion Survey, while this is a signicant increasein returns, it still only represents 22% o the surveys that

were mailed out. In terms o key messages, the top ve

results in the survey were in the areas o: Social Skills,

Student Motivation, Homework, Student Saety and

equal th Parent Input and Learning Focus. The lowest

perorming areas were: Teacher Morale, Stimulating

Learning, Transitions, School Improvement and Behaviour

Management.

As we can see 12 out o 18 areas are above the state

average or secondary schools while 6 out o 18 remain

just below the state average. This continues the trend o

improving results over the past our years and aligns with

the Student Attitudes to School Data (2013) which also

rated the school above the state average in terms o their

school experience. School Council and the College Sta

will analyse the results closely to unpack where we are

succeeding and areas we need to continue to strive or

improvement. Can I thank the amilies who took time out to

complete the survey, your thoughts are certainly helpul to

our decision making and planning or 2014.

Cup Dy Holidy

The College is aware that many amilies take the

opportunity or a long weekend prior to the Christmas

holidays over the Cup Day weekend. Traditionally the school

has had about 10% o students attending on the Monday

beore the Melbourne Cup holiday. As a result o this low

attendance the College is unable to run normal classes

with so many students missing, thereore an alternative

program will run again this year. A letter will be mailed to

amilies next week explaining the arrangements or Monday

4th November. I you have any questions about thesearrangements please ring the school to clariy.

Yer 12:

Next week sees the end o

ormal classes or all our Year 12

students.

This is an important stage o young

peoples lives, and it is possible that

they will be experiencing a range

o emotions, including excitement

that the end o secondary education

is drawing to a close, stress about completing last

assessments and exams, and o course, wondering what

the uture will bring.

All students, whether VCAL or VCE, must check with

their teachers that they have completed all requirements

or each unit beore the end o classes next week.

Where some work remains to be completed, you need

to negotiate with your teachers what is to be done and

by when. This is important as we dont want students

jeopardising their Year 12 certicate by missing one or twopieces o required work.

Year 12 examinations commence on 30th October and the

nal day or our Year 12 students is 23rd October. That

leaves only 7 schooldays or students to catch up with their

teachers or support in their exam preparation.

College Policy Chnges:

The College has reviewed and made changes to its Parent

Payments Policy and the Extracurricular Activities Policy.

I have attached the new policies; please make the time to

read them.

by Michael Grose - No. 1 parenting educator

If you have a young child or teenager, chances are youve

heard about Minecraft. Its a video game thats kind of like

digital LEGO, except that youre in an ever-evolving world

with seemingly limitless possibilities. Its a game that

inspires deep exploration, collaboration and creativity.It has been the subject of international conventions. Some

schools and universities have even incorporated Minecraft

into their curriculum, where students learn about city

planning, environmental issues, getting things done, and

even how to plan for the future, as well as things like

maths and problem solving.

The open sandbox nature of Minecraft makes it one of the

most exciting games on the market and not because of

its flash graphics or blood and gore (there are none of

those). The gameplay experience designjust works. Andon top of all that, its rated one of the safest video games

for kids ever.

But parents are worried.

And rightfully so, to a degree. Too much of a good thing

can be a bad thing.

But some parents are freaking out about the amount of

time their kids are investing in the game, and are imposing

blanket bans of it without first understanding its magic.

So, lets have a look at what makes Minecraft so engaging,

why blanket bans arent a good idea, and how to manage

your childs play.

Minecraft is an infinite, non-winnable game

Unlike a book, a game of chess, or a football match, a

Minecraft game doesnt end. Theres always more that can

be explored, and more that can be done. The projects you

undertake in Minecraft are self-initiated: no one is telling

you what to do. And the process of making progress

Dont be daft about Minecraft

within Minecraft is completely autonomous no one is

telling you how to execute your projects and achieve your

goals. Its self-regulated learning at its finest.

So, when a parent bans Minecraft its a lot different to

banning other games. Youre not simply cutting your childout from a source of entertainment. Youre preventing

them from accessing a world where its safe to fail, learn,

explore, build and share. In essence: it can be pretty

devastating particularly when we put things back into

the context of the future of work.

Why? Because your childs ability to participate in and

contribute to unprecedented, self-driven creative and

collaborative work is going to be one of the key

employable talents in the future. Your child could already

be building a digital portfolio of project work, without youeven knowing it.

But being able to unplug and manage time and energy

are essential skills your child needs to learn too. So, here

are three ways you can help them manage Minecraft in

your house:

1. Show genuine interest (this should be your

first step)If your child plays Minecraft, ask them to take you on a

tour. Show an interest in their passion, and ask them

questions like: what are you trying to build? What are your

goals? What are the steps you need to take? Whats the

coolest thing youve found? Set aside at least an hour for

this. Its highly likely theyd love the chance to share this

with you, which will help you to open up a new level of

connection with them.

2. Encourage interactivity correctlyMinecrafts multiplayer mode allows your child to play and

build in the same online world as their friends.

Digital learning is an essential part o the learning program

at Warragul Regional College.

As we move orward into an era where unding or

devices is no longer available rom governments, we are

committed to supporting our parent community to providea good quality robust laptop with 3 year onsite warranty

support at the minimum practical cost to amilies. We

also wish to use devices that are recognised by DEECD so

that the device can be transportable between schools.

The 2014 Laptop program is designed to supply the 2014

year 7's with their initial Secondary school machine and

the 2014 Year 10 cohort with a vastly superior machine

than the present government owned netbook feet.

It is expected that every student attending the College in

years 7 and 10 in 2014 will purchase or lease a laptop

through our laptop program.

Choice o odels:

Ater extensive research, the eLearning and IT department

have decided on a choice o three dierent Lenovo

laptops. Specic details or each device type and costs

will be shortly available, but the key dierences are

screen size, processing speed and built in CD/DVD drive

availability. Parents can choose the device or their child

based on personal preerence. The sotware provided on

all devices will be identical.

Choice o pyen opions:School Council has approved dierent payment options

or the devices.

Opion 1: Py upron by 13h Deceber 2013

I you make ull payment (either via a one o payment or

pay in instalments) beore 13th December:

The machine is yours to keep

You can give the device to your child or Christmas

You will go into a draw to win one o two base laptop

payment reunds. This rafe may be the best chance

you will ever have to win a major prize!

Opion 2: Lese ro he College vi Lerning ihtechnologies (Lwt)

This option allows you to make regular payments over the

three year lie o the laptop. Further:

To minimise the nancial risk and cost to parents,

the College organises and sponsors each amilyarrangement. LWT then organise or collection o

parent payments in close liaison with the College.

Payments are made to the provider on a regular

payment plan

I you leave the College within the lease period, you

will be given the option to return the laptop to the

school or to buy it out completely.

All aected amilies will shortly receive ull details o the

arrangement by mail and by email where available.

From the Business Manager

All amilies who have books or sale in the

Uniorm Shop are asked to collect them

i they wish to keep them. Any booksnot collected by 31 October 2013 will be

considered a donation to the College.

Books that are on next year's book list can

be resubmitted or sale. The Uniorm Shop

is open to collect books on Tuesday 3:15pm

4:15pm and Wednesday 1pm 4pm.

Details or this year's second hand book sale

LaNGUaGE PERECtLast term Year 7, 8 and 9 language students had the

opportunity to trial an online program called Language

Perect. The program involves reading, writing and

listening to vocabulary on current and previous topics.

Its an excellent way to learn new words and an excellent

revision tool. Students are able to check their progress andsee where they are ranked in the class. The competitive

nature o the program helps motivate students. Student

eedback has included the ollowing comments:

I am learning the words a lot aster than I usually do.

This is great un and teaches me not just Indonesian but

English as well!

I like this. It has really helped me learn and memorise the

words and it is un.

The people at Language Perect kindly gave us two Ipodshufes to award to the students with the highest score in

each language. Well done to Emily Debnam who achieved

the top result in Indonesian and Matthew Burdett who

was the top scorer or Japanese.

As a result o so much positive student and teacher

eedback and obvious improvements to students language

learning, we have made the decision to put the Language

Perect program on the booklist or 2014. Its important

that you purchase this item so your child is able to achieve

the best possible outcomes. Look out or more inormation

in uture Worth Readings.

Donella Miller

From the start o Term 4 2013 the new opening times

are as ollows:

tuesdy ernoon - 3.15p o 4.15p

wednesdy ernoon - 1p o 4p

As we are now starting the holidays that means that
