Taroona Views Issue 5: 30 May 2016
From the Principal
Student Participation
When students in Grade 7 come to Taroona for the first time, we always emphasise how
important it is to participate in as many things as possible, in the hope of finding that ‘one
thing’ that sparks enthusiasm and interest. We have been absolutely thrilled with the level
of participation in events so far in 2016 – not only from Grade 7 students, but the whole
student body. Things that are currently receiving great support are:
Maths tutorials
Chess club
Sailing
Computer gaming
Debating
Water polo
Science and Technology Challenge
Student leadership programs
Music camps
Upcoming trips to Mt Hotham and New Caledonia
Upcoming Ember
These are just a few that are currently operating. We would like to thank all of the teachers
and staff who are facilitating and organising these activities because, as you can see, most of
them happen because the staff are willing to volunteer and give up personal time to support
our students in their various endeavours.
NAPLAN Week and Open Week
Last week and the week before saw two big events at our school, Open Week and
NAPLAN. Both have the potential to be disruptive to our normal learning program, but I
would like to thank everyone for the calm and organised way these events took place.
Open Week saw a very large number of potential students, along with their parents, touring
the school and being expertly guided and advised by some of our current students. The
guides were all volunteers from all grades. The reports back from the visitors on the
manner and quality of information from the guides has been heart-warming and we want to
thank and congratulate each and every one of them. We firmly believe that we could have
asked any student to be a guide and they would have represented us with pride. Personally,
I had the opportunity to go into several classes and ask for a volunteer and was always
greeted with a series of hands willing to help.
I have had the opportunity to accompany many of the visitors around on their tours, and I
have been thoroughly impressed with what I have seen and heard from students. Not only
have the tour guides been welcoming, friendly and informative, but the students in the
classes that we visited have been on task, engaged in their learning and attentive to the
task they were performing. They answered impromptu questions from the visitors and
most importantly have been able to articulate what they are doing, and why they are doing
it.
In regards to NAPLAN results, we believe that they will be
available towards the end of Term 3. As is our normal practice,
we will forward these to parents when they are delivered to us.
Winter Weather
It looks as if we are finally going to get some rain. I am sure this is
a great relief to managers of Aurora, farmers and those amongst us
who love their gardens, but it can be awkward in the school
setting. We encourage students to get outside where possible, but
when the ground is wet, it important to avoid mud and puddles.
We don’t ask students to take their shoes off when they enter the
building - like they probably do in their own home - so we often
have quite a deal of mud and water carted inside after break time.
This makes for very hard work for our dedicated cleaners and
support staff to keep carpets and other floor surfaces in a
reasonable condition.
We ask students to please be considerate on wet days, stay out of
wet areas and if they do walk over a muddy surface, wipe their
shoes on mats as they enter the building.
Dog Walking in the School Grounds
People who walk dogs through the school grounds outside school
hours are reminded that dogs must be on the lead at all times.
Neighbours have expressed concerns about dogs running free.

Hobart College -Taste of College Day for 2017 – 16 June
Grade 10 Parents/Guardians and Students please note:
All Grade 10 Students from Taroona High School attend Hobart
College on 16 June 2016 for Taste of College Day, regardless of
which college they are ultimately attending. The day is compulsory
for all Grade 10 students. If your child is unwell, please notify
Student Services at Taroona High School.
At the end of last term all Year 10 students were given a booklet
to share with parents/guardians about the day at Hobart College
and what courses they may wish to try. Students will be enrolling
formally for the Taster Day in class this week.
Taste of College is a day where students find out how a college
works and what the expectations are for them in 2017. They go
to a home group, assembly, subjects they have selected and
students participate in many activities provided for them.
Students are to make their own way to the college and will be met
by our staff to participate in a great day.
Hobart College Transition Program 2017
For all Grade 10s attending Hobart College next year, the first of
the major on-campus orientation visits is on Thursday 16
June at Hobart College. This is one of the many opportunities for
students to familiarise themselves with the campus, find out about
college life, talk with college staff about subjects and get excited
about the transition to college in 2017.
Parents/carers wishing to find out more about Hobart College and
the enrolment process are invited to attend the Hobart College
Parent Information Evening on Thursday 4 August at
7.00pm in the main Theatre.
Please check out the Hobart College website for more
information about enrolment, subjects and courses available in
2017.

Wilderness
Camp
13-15 May
A few students
and pre-service
teacher Ryan
Thompson
travelled on the
school bus to
Cradle Mountain,
staying for two
nights at Gowrie
Park Wilderness
Village. In the
National Park,
they walked past
Marion's
Lookout on the
way to the
1545m Cradle
Mountain summit
and returned via
the Wombat Pool. All students were prepared for cold and wet
conditions, although it was mostly clear. During the return to
Hobart, they stopped in Deloraine to see a silk 'tapestry' depicting
the developments in the Mersey Valley region and in Ross for a
market. A particular highlight was seeing a wedge-tail eagle
finishing breakfast standing by the side of the road!

A Team Effort at the Science & Engineering Challenge!
Congratulations to the Taroona High Science and Engineering
Team of thirty Grade 9 and 10 students who won the second day
of heats in Hobart. We are now invited to compete in the Super
Challenge (State Final) on Friday 3 June.
The Taroona team was
made up of smaller teams of
3-4 students who worked
on one or two challenges
for the whole day. It was
important the teams
worked together
collaboratively, by
communicating well and
encouraging each other,
having a laugh and not giving
up when things got tough!
Students from all the
schools were also very focused throughout the day, because
ultimately it is a competition, and each challenge earns points
which go towards the school’s final score. The final scores were
close, (50 points between first and second). Taroona won because
although we only got two firsts, all teams did well overall, so our
win was truly a TEAM EFFORT!
Over the next week the team will need to meet up and reflect and
share - what worked and what failed. Our teams will not know
their challenge for the State Final until it is pulled from a hat on the
day!
We would like to
thank the
University of
Newcastle, the
University of
Tasmania, Rotary
Tasmania and all
of the wonderful
volunteers who
make the Science
and Engineering
Challenge happen
every year!
“Beyond Blue” Free Dress Day - 3 June 2016
The Grade 10 SRC are pleased to coordinate
our next Free Dress Day on Friday 3 June,
2016. The SRC would like our school
community to recognise, and support, the
Beyond Blue organisation by giving a gold
coin donation on the day. In exchange, students are invited to
dress in the colour blue on this day.
Rostrum – Voice of Youth
Congratulations to all six students who participated in the
Southern heats of this demanding public speaking competition on
Saturday 7 May - Ellie Clarke and Bryher McKeown (Grade 9), Lilli
Westcott, Annwen Roberts and Jessica Pursell (Grade 8) and Keon
Pavlides (Grade 7). There was a record number of entries this
year and the group was divided to participate in four heats.
Taroona High School took first place in two of those heats, thanks
to Bryher and Jessica. These girls will travel to Launceston to take
part in the state finals on 4 June. We wish them all the best. Keon
received an encouragement award.

Give Me 5 for Kids Fundraising
The Learning Centre is happy to once again be
involved in the Give me 5 For Kids fundraising
appeal. As little as 5c can help change a sick
child’s life. Funds raised will help provide needed
equipment to care for sick children in the
Children’s Ward at the Royal Hobart Hospital.
Please bring in your loose change (any denomination accepted) to
home group each Tuesday in June.
Two years ago we were the Tasmanian Schools winner! Let’s see if
we can do it again!
Barbecue Fundraiser
What’s Happening? A barbecue fundraiser
for the Taroona High School Sailing Team,
competing this year in the Team Sailing Roster
When and Where? Lunchtime 21 June, 2016 outside the Link
Block
Who? The Taroona High School sailing team is made up of Grades
7-10 students: Ezekiel Willmott, Alex Potter, Lovett TaylorSmith,
Timmy Vincent, William Grant, Archie Cameron, Miley Fleming,
Ruby Brookes, Gabby Burke, Elliott Salter and Pallas TaylorSmith.
This year, the team is competing against Kingston High, Friends (10
teams), Hutchins (10 Teams), Fahan, St Virgil’s College, Gilford
Young, St Marys, Tarremah, New Town, Mount Carmel,
Collegiate, Calvin and Ogilvie High.
In 2015, the team competed in the State Championships at the
Sandy Bay Sailing Club, where they finished eighth out of 22 teams.
More recently, they competed at Deviot Sailing Club (April 2016),
finishing 10th out of 14 Teams. They did extremely well against a
very high calibre fleet of world, Australian, AIS and TIS sailors!
Why? In buying a sausage or hamburger at this barbecue, you will
be supporting this talented group of students in their sailing
endeavours. The funds raised will go towards the purchase of
much-needed team sailing bibs to help identify our team members
while racing.
Film News
Many thanks for their time and insights to:
Lewis Farrell, of Walch Optics, who came to our 9/10 Film Class
to provide advice and demonstrate the power, beauty and
possibilities of our DSLR cameras, especially when turning the dial
to M for manual mode. Since then it’s been fantastic to see a
number of students experiment with a whole range of settings in
order to capture some beautiful images.
Blue Rocket, Tasmania’s own world class and award-winning
animation production company, who also gave up much time this
week to guide and chat to a group of our most promising
animators and graphic design artists, along with our Graphic
Design teacher, John Hutchison. Alicia Rackett, Cathy McComb
and Janie Reilly spent the afternoon introducing us to the
production team, and outlining a vast array of processes, software,
and decisions to be made in the production of a major series of
animations. We were all fittingly blown away with the
complexities, skill level, work ethic, and professionalism involved.
Check out their site, Blue Rocket, and this news article last year.
The very welcoming and supportive Vivien Mason and Ben
Stephenson, two professional animators who graciously gave up
a few hours of their precious time to mentor two of our most
talented and hardworking film students, Amara Gantz (9R) and
Avon Blazely (10I). It was a highly inspiring and informative session
and both students came away with renewed sense of enthusiasm
and belief.
Model United Nations Assembly
A few weeks ago, Taroona High
School sent two teams to the
Rotary sponsored Model United
Nations Assembly (MUNA) in
Deloraine. Both teams
performed well, placing amongst
the top in the state, with one
team receiving an honourable
mention.
This annual event sees pairs of
Grade 10 students from all
around the state represent a
country of their choice in a United Nations style debate. The
students are required to wear the national dress of the country
they represent.
There are fifteen resolutions which the students have to address
from the perspective of the country they choose. The content of
these resolutions ranges from endangered animals to nuclear
weapons to refugees.
The first Taroona team was made up of Sophia Hand and Nikki
Hudson representing South Korea, and Clare McVeigh and I made
up the second team, representing North Korea.
Given that the countries we'd chosen were polar opposites, we
had completely different ways of addressing the resolutions.
Speaking from a North Korean perspective, it was really fun to be
able to be completely undiplomatic and go ahead and aggressively
state our opposition to other countries. The heated back and
forth between the USA and North Korea throughout the weekend
was definitely a highlight for me.
While South Korea
weren't as aggressive in
their arguments as their
Northern counterparts,
they were still very
much involved in the
discussion on each
resolution. They
performed extremely
well, which was
reflected in their
receiving an Honourable
Mention.
MUNA was a great weekend, and as we headed back on the four
hour bus ride, I reflected on what a great time we'd all had, and
the fact that the two Taroona teams had made it through the
weekend without restarting the Korean war.

Come and Enjoy Our School Library
This year, we have implemented a number of new initiatives in the
library. Our vision is to provide a stimulating, inviting and
comfortable social space where students can come and interact
with their peers, teachers, magazines, books and learn a range of
new skills.
We are seeing an increased number of students using the library at
lunchtimes. Some come to complete their homework, some come
to get assistance with their school work, some come to read and
some come to have a quiet chat with their friends. We have
allocated specific parts of the library for each type of activity.
Lunchtime Activities/Tutorials For Students
There are daily activities/tutorials run by a group of dedicated and
passionate THS Maths and English teachers who volunteer their
time and provide valuable Maths and writing skills assistance to any
students who would like their help. Students do not need to
book. Please view the lunchtime activities roster and/or contact
scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au for more details.
Responsible Eating of Lunch in the Library
Students can eat their lunch in the library this year (at the grey
tables and not near the computers or the bean bags). We are
currently trialling this initiative and it is going extremely well. Our
students are keeping the library tidy and clean and are placing their
rubbish in the bins provided.
Vibrant, inviting, comfortable “Chill-Out” Zone
We have recently purchased a large television, a number of bean
bags, couches and magazine/book racks for the library. These have
been combined to create a vibrant and comfortable “chill-out”
zone near the back of the library (away from the ‘quiet working
grey tables’ section of the library).
On Thursdays, our Grade 10 Library Monitors, Beth and May, have
been showing ABCTV shows to students at lunchtime in this space
and our teachers can also book it for their classes to visit during
lessons.
Creativity Workshops
Very soon, we will be starting to run Creativity Workshops on
Tuesdays for students to attend and experience together at
lunchtime. Ideas being thrown around at present include Manga
drawing, origami, magic tricks and lateral thinking/problem solving
activities. These activities will vary throughout the year. Our plan is
to ask our students to volunteer their own talents and they can
teach their skills to other students during these sessions.
We Thank You for Your “Ideal Library” Survey Responses Last
Year
Last year, we surveyed our students and parents and asked what
their ‘ideal library’ may look like in the 21st Century. We would
like to thank those who responded to our survey and the
initiatives mentioned above have been implemented as a result of
your responses.
Parents or students that are interested in knowing more about
the library, can contact scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au for
more details.
Senior Concert Band Camp: 1 – 3 May
This year’s Senior Band Camp was an absolute blast! We all learned heaps from our specialist instrumental tutors on Monday, and had
some great rehearsals with good ol’ Glenn Schultz on Tuesday. Also, a huge shout out to all-time legend and absolute shredder on the
guitar, Finn Bacon, who served as a kitchen hand, and to the excellent chef who made sure we were well fed, Steve.
Of course, we had our fair share of fun and games on the camp too. Some after-rehearsal movies and some late-night (8pm) cards against
humanity was a great way to end a day of strenuous playing. To top it all off, the Tuesday night concert was an absolute cracker, and I’m
sure that the audience loved our Blues Brothers warm-up. Thanks to everyone who helped with the camp and to all the teachers who
organised a great camp!

I.C.T. Teaching at Taroona High School 2016
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program: Students in
Grades 7-10 are expected to bring their own device (e.g. Laptop,
iPad, tablet) every day to school fully charged and ready to access
the learning program. Our school is nationally recognised as
having the necessary systems and structures to allow students easy
access to the Internet on their own devices. Our teachers
regularly plan their lessons with ICT resources in mind and the
success of these lessons relies heavily upon students bringing their
devices to class. Please understand that there may
be some days when a student will not be required
to use their device during the school day, but they
are expected to treat it as a part of their everyday
school equipment. To ensure that students benefit
from the BYOD program at THS, we require the
support of our parents in ensuring that students:
Pack their device (laptop, iPad, tablet) in their school
bag/carry case every day;
Charge it up every night;
Ensure the device is always kept in a protective case while in
transit (to/around/from school);
Don’t download too many programs that are large in size (as
this will slow it down);
Seek assistance when they require it.
IT Support for Students at School: The school operates a
student-run IT Help Desk. This year the Help Desk is available to
assist students with their learning devices in C112 at certain times
throughout the week and every lunchtime. Timetables are
positioned in classrooms around the school. We encourage
students to visit the Help Desk when they are experiencing IT
difficulties with their device.
Fronter VLE: Our School’s Virtual Learning Environment:
The school’s Virtual Learning Environment is called “Fronter” and
is found at www.casas.tas.edu.au. Parents and students can log in
with the student’s DoE credentials (username+password). This
system allows teachers to deliver the curriculum electronically and
students can access it and submit school work to their teachers.
Presently our students and staff are learning how to use this new
online learning system. We encourage students and parents to sit
down together and look at Fronter: www.casas.tas.edu.au. A big
thank you to those parents who have looked at Fronter with their
children and for the positive feedback we have received. In
listening to parental feedback, our teachers have been asked to
include assignment due dates on their
Fronter pages. Last year 837 students and
staff logged into Fronter 30,075 times! If
your child is having trouble with accessing
Fronter this year, please notify
scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au and we will aim to resolve
the issue. To give parents and students a better understanding of
Fronter and how it can be used, please take a minute to view this
YouTube film clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV7DqRVh5ow&index=24&list
=PLloOJrn8l-eBYJFxMaktWy4a20OuloMcg.
Connecting Students’ Devices to the
School Internet Connection: Students in all
grades are assisted to connect their devices to
the school’s Internet connection. If your child is
having trouble connecting to the school network
(wireless Internet) at any time throughout the year, please ask
them to visit the student-run IT Help Desk or contact
scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au.
Download the “Taroona High” App to
Read the Daily Bulletins, Keep Track of
your Timetable and more! The school App
can be freely downloaded to your iPad, iPhone
or iPod from the ITunes Apple Store
(https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/taroona-high-
school/id936553095?mt=8 ). This App allows you to keep track of
your timetabled classes, read the school’s Daily Bulletins, read the
canteen menu, view the school’s calendar and many other
wonderful tools. We encourage all students and parents to
download the App today and make use of it this year. After
downloading the App, students log in with their DoE username and
password. Parents can read the school’s calendar and Daily
Bulletins by logging in with username: education\tah.parent
and password: parent2012. This is just another example of how
Taroona High is constantly looking to use ICT to enhance
community relations and support our community.
School Facebook Page for Latest News: We are continually
updating our school Facebook page with
announcements and key dates. You do not need
to log into Facebook to view this school
page. We thank those who have been
‘liking’ our posts and we enjoy keeping in touch with you via
this page: www.facebook.com/taroonahigh.
School’s Cybersafety Program: At Taroona High School, the
teaching staff see the teaching of Cybersafety as an important and
necessary part of the teaching program. Our teaching staff are
constantly reminding students about appropriate and safe usage of
ICT in their daily lives. These ‘respectful, responsible and safe
online usage’ reminders occur in both an informal manner (whilst
working with students in the classroom) and via a structured
Cybersafety program (delivered during Home
Group throughout the year). Each Grade has a
variety of Cybersafety lessons that are delivered to
Home Groups. Parents who are looking for ways
to discuss ‘protecting online reputation’ with their
children, may be interested in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmr671JK6Wg&feature=youtu.
be. Similar films and advice can be viewed on my blog at
http://ictscotty.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Cybersafety%20studen
ts%20parents%20teachers. We would appreciate it if parents
could sit down with their children over the next few weeks and
read through, and reinforce, the school’s ICT Acceptable Use
Agreement found in the school diary.
Microsoft Office365 Now Available to all THS Students
Free! The School continues to lead the way in ICT teaching and
learning. This time, we have made it possible for our students to
download Office365 (and the
Office Suite; Word, PPT, Excel)
to their own devices free of
charge. Most of our Grade 7s
have already downloaded
Office365 and it is now available
to students in all Grades. Any
Grade 7 student who doesn’t yet
have it installed is to let their
Digital Technologies teacher know
ASAP or come to the student IT
Help Desk for assistance. Students
in Grades 8-10 can also visit the IT Help Desk for assistance or
they can watch (and follow) this film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGZQI92LDAU
I look forward to keeping the school community up-to-date with
the latest ICT news and announcements in school newsletters this
year. Please also keep checking our school Facebook page for ICT
tips, ideas and information. If you have any questions or need ICT
assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact
scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au.
