Principals Report

Welcome to another great JHS newsletter.

We have seen groups and classes settle into their

learning, with students establishing good routines of

bringing equipment, completing class learning and

preparing their first assessment tasks.

I congratulate the students who are able to last the

period without checking their phone. This allows

students to focus on learning and manage their

distractions, like all workplaces need!

All students received their “Assessment and Scope &

Sequence Booklet”, outlining the course topics,

assessments and the due dates. This is practical to

have on hand so students don’t miss assessment

submission dates, can be well prepared and also

understand what their learning journey consists of this

year. These booklets can also be found on our school

website and Student & Parent Portal. If any parent

needs assistance with the Portal, please contact me.

Term 1 Interim Report for students in Years 7 to 11 will

be distributed in Week 7. Parents will receive these in

the mail, in time to read and discuss with teachers at

the first of Parent – Teacher evening, held on

Wednesday evening 20 March. Bookings are available

now through the Student & Parent Portal

School Photos were smoothly coordinated with

students looking great on the day. These photos

should be available for parents very soon. 2019 SRC

Congratulations to our 2019 SRC class who were

inducted at the special assembly this week. Mrs Bree

Anderson is the SRC Coordinator and has big plans to

utilise the student’s skills and to garner their thoughts

and ideas for continuing to strengthen our school.

Also at the special assembly was the induction of the

2019 House Captains. Houses are important at our

school, giving students the opportunity to be in a

larger team of the school. The points that students

accumulate for their positive behaviour and efforts

contribute to their house, with the winning house

receiving a special event at the conclusion of each

term.

Congratulations to students who progressed in the

Honours System, also recognised at the assembly.

These students moved into the silver, gold, diamond

and platinum status levels. Special mention to Mae-

Rose Harrison for achieving Platinum status. Students

and parents can check their house points using the

Student & Parent Portal.

It was excellent to similarly congratulate the two

recipients of the GEO Bressington scholarships. Adam

Spackman and Kate Jarrett were successful as the

highest ATAR scores for male and female students and

going on to further study. These two students, who

both identify as Indigenous and have contributed to

our school in many ways, were lost for words as they

received their scholarships and we look forward to

them returning to school to tell us of their

achievements in the future.

Empower PM

Empower PM continues on Wednesday evenings from

5pm. I thank each staff member who is able to assist

students by volunteering their time. Well done also to

students displaying maturity and perseverance in using

their time well.

Swimming Carnival

Swim Carnival: Again a great success due to staff

organisation and student participation. Thank you to

all students and parents who contributed to the day,

making it a success of school unity and culture. Best

wishes to the students selected to represent our school

at the Zone Swimming carnival held in Tumut on

Thursday.

Year 7 & 11 head out to their Camp in Week 6 and I

look forward to attending this with them for the three

days – more news and photos in Week 8’s newsletter

.Year 7 will select their 4 members for SRC following

the camp after having spent more time with each

other.

P&C – I thank the parents who have been helping our

school by their involvement in the P&C. P&C

and opportunities, as well as supplying uniforms and a

delightful canteen. P&C have kindly agreed to continue

supplying funds to assist the cost of transport for

students representing the school. The next meeting will

be held on March 20 at the Junee HS Common room,

end of ground floor, A block, starting at 7pm.

The first fundraisers for the year are:

Golf Day Saturday 6 April from 8:30am. Please contact

Julie Shepherd to book in a golf team or assist with the

organisation for the day.

Band and Dinner afterwards from 6pm: Sausage sizzle

very welcome to attend.

Be your best. Be respectful. Be responsible

What’s happening in Careers?

Welcome to 2019

Stage 5 Work Experience

Work experience is recommended for all students, no

matter their career aspirations as it provides an

opportunity for them to explore different jobs and

industries. It allows students to talk to employers and

employees about their career journey and about the

skills and training required in their specific industry.

In the second half of the term, students will participate

in introduction to work experience sessions where they

will learn the process of organising their placement.

They will then have access to the required paperwork

and information necessary to arrange their work

experience placements. Check out

www.juneehighcareers.com for some ‘outside the

square’ work experience opportunities. All students are

required to discuss their work experience choices with

Mrs Bunyan before they apply.

Child Studies Excursion

Stage 5 Child Studies students recently visited the

Wagga Wagga Rural Referral Hospital to go on a tour

through the maternity ward, birthing suite and the

special care nursery. This was a great opportunity to

see the special care that is available for newborn

babies and their parents in our region. It also provided

insight into working as a midwife or nurse in the

maternity ward. We were also able to visit the Tresillian

Family Care Centre and hear about what services they

have available, as well as the Child and Family Health

Service at Glenfield. We thank these services for taking

the time to share their knowledge with our students.
