Windsor High School Week 6 Term 1 2019

Our literacy competition winners were Jessica and Cooper

Our Innovation Team awarded Aliya with the gift card for using our return and earn cage.

The Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) delivered a workshop on Environmental Enterprise to our Year 11 Business Studies, Work Studies and Biology classes and Year 10 Commerce. The students came up with

some great ideas!

Stemshare consultant Adam gave an online workshop to around 1000 teachers from across the state on intro-ducing coding activities into the classroom. Our school greatly benefits from Adam having his office at Windsor

The HSIE Green Wall has been refreshed for 2019. It is certainly pleasing to the eye and the living wall cre-

ates a wonderful atmosphere- much better than the bare brick wall.

Supporting the upcoming Hawkesbury Show our support unit students have been preparing their entries. Our

wonderful MC artists have been at work, planning and painting their chicken in preparation for the Hawkesbury

Show Painted Chicken competition.

The Year 12 excursion to WSU Parramatta Campus turned out to be much longer than we thought! The trip to the campus took 2 hours to get there. The trip home took 3 hours because the bus broke down on the M7! Our students cheerfully said “This will make a good item for our Yearbook !” We stopped traffic and the breakdown was reported on the news. After a long wait we boarded a new bus that brought us back. At WSU the students

had a great time and learned about options for study for next year.

Just another reminder, could all parents/caregivers please make sure their children wear leather school shoes, either black or white, each day to school. Regards Jennifer Hawken

Deputy Principal Report This week we are blitzing the wearing of leather footwear. It is a health and safety requirement set out by the Department of Education through its WHS Policy. The DEC is committed to pro-vide a safe learning environment for all students. Leather shoes will protect your child’s feet from accidents such as falling objects and chemical spillages. If a student presents to their Science, Food Technology, Textiles or Industrial Arts class without the correct leather enclosed shoes, the student will be provided with alternate subject related course work to complete until they are wear-ing appropriate footwear. We ask students to wear either black or white leather upper shoes.

A copy of the Footwear Guidelines was emailed home to parents. We ask parents to chat to their child about their school day. Please ask your child what they were taught in each lesson and the homework they need to complete before their next class. Assessment tasks are now being handed out for subjects. Please check the school website for assessment schedules. We ask parents to keep track of what is due, to assist their child in submitting tasks on time.

We encourage all students to attend the Maths Tutoring sessions on a Monday afternoon (3:15-4:15pm), the Tuesday Homework Club (3:15-5:00pm) and the Academic Support sessions on a Thursday (2:37-3:15pm).

Year 7, 11 and 12 Parent Teacher Evening

Week 10 – Tuesday 2nd April

An Interim report will be provided on the night.

Further information on booking interview times will be sent home soon.

SRC Report

On Friday, 1st of March, selected members of the SRC, participated in Clean Up Australia Day. Thank you to

those who participated in this important cause. Students within the school were encouraged to assist in the

school clean up, and were advised of the vital role that Clean Up Australia Day has upon the environment and

community. This event proved successful and provided the opportunity for students to take responsibility in the

beautification of the school.
