YEAR 10 P&C FORMALYear 10 put on their best suits and dresses last Friday night 30 August and celebrated the formal along with a few members from year 11. Hours were spent by everyone getting dressed up with almost the whole day taken up with hair, nails, makeup and tanning appointments for some. By 6.00pm all of the time spent getting ready was well worth it. The venue was decorated to suit the Great Gatsby theme organised by Mrs Davis and her team of hard workers. They did a wonderful job decorating the tables with black and white feathers in vases, the walls with themed paintings and even the ceiling with black and white helium balloons that made for a great photo.Countless happy snaps were taken on the night. Kate Wilson was the photographer for the night and of course other peers also took photos. During the night we also completed two formal dances as a year group and one formal dance with our parents, with dinner being the opportunity for the girls to rest their sore and blistering feet. Chloe Haynes presented a speech looking back on all of the years that we have endured together and highlighted some of the funnier and more exciting moments of our last four years as well.Once all of the formalities for the night were over the rest of the night was free for us to dance and have a good time together.Finally I would like to, on behalf of year 10, thank all of the incredible people that made it happen; overall it was a wonderful night and definitely one of the best events of the year.

PRiNCiPAL’S REPORTExcellence & Leadership Assembly – 5 September 2013

Ladies and Gentlemen, Students, Staff, invited guests, Welcome to our Term 3 Excellence and Leadership Assembly. Not only do we congratulate today the academic achievements and improvements of many students, but we also acknowledge those who have “put their hands up” to represent their peers as House Captains, SRC members, Vice Captains and Captains. Congratulations firstly to all those who are accepting awards for their hard work, enthusiasm, cooperation and improvement. You have taken hold of the opportunities presented to you and, more importantly, you have followed through with determination and drive. Your parents and teachers are proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself.

My second congratulations go to our newly elected student representatives. Student Leadership is one of the school’s focus areas for 2013 and 2014 and it is heartening to see the willingness of so many students to accept the challenge of being a role model for their peers.Our hard working SRC team have a proud tradition of getting things done across the school, and I anticipate huge things from them for the remainder of this year and into 2014. Our elected House Captains will, as usual, inspire and organise at our Athletics and Swimming Carnivals, but they will also be the driving force behind activities like Spirit Day, which will take place on Tuesday 5th November. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate especially our Leadership Group for 2014: Vice Captains Hannah West and Sarah Moore and Captains, Daniel Hughes and Sophie Kingston. We are fortunate as a school to have leaders of such calibre. They are all hard-working, approachable, enthusiastic and committed. I am really looking forward to our work together over the coming year, because I know you can make a difference to the school and its students. Can I take this opportunity to thank our outgoing leadership team of Caitlin, Jack, Caitlin and Kane for your enthusiasm, hard work and positive approach. You can leave the school proudly knowing that you have made a considerable and lasting impression.In closing, well done to all those who walk across the stage today, and thank you for the positive contributions you have made to our school.Thank you.

YEAR 10 P&C FORMAL CONTiNuED....There were a number of students and parents that worked very hard to make the Formal a success.

NATiONAL HuMAN PAPiLLOMAviRuS (HPv) vACCiNATiON pROGRaMThe national Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program began in 2007 to protect young women against HPV infections that can lead to cancer and disease later in life. Studies have since shown a substantial drop in HPV-related infection among the vaccinated group.From 2013, the current school-based program for females aged 12-13 years will be extended to offer HPV vaccination free to males aged 12-13 years, with a catch-up program in 2013 and 2014 for males aged 14-15 years. Parents or guardians are required to complete a consent form and return it to their child’s school to participate in the program.

Once a child’s parent or guardian has consented, the vaccine is given as three injections over a period of six months by qualified immunisation providers. It is important to complete the full course – all three doses – for the best protection

vaccination day for Gloucester High School is Thursday 12 September.Visit the Australian Government website for more information: http://hpv.health.gov.au/the-program/ or call the information line 1800 671 811

GLOuCESTER HiGH SCHOOL ABORiGiNAL STuDENTS MuRAL uNvEiLiNGDuring 2012 Gloucester High Aboriginal students began designing and painting a large mural which they titled ‘Our Place Our Home’. We met fortnightly for two periods to work on the mural and receive harm-minimisation education regarding drugs, alcohol and safe sex practices. After many months of hard work the mural is finally finished! It is 5m long and 2m high. The students chose the title ‘Our Place Our Home’ because the mural is about living in and around Gloucester. The Bucketts dominate the background along with grassland and the river. The three meeting places represent the three traditional campsites. Some of our local native animals are also featured in the mural as well as people of different skins. We practised a lot of different traditional artwork techniques that we already knew as well as learning a few new ones. The sky was painted solely by finger-tapping, the Bucketts were painted using a sponge technique and the leaves in the trees were made using hand prints. The grass has many layers. The first is a light green background. We then stamped the mural with cardboard depicting grass stalks and grass clumps which were added using a feathered brush technique. The river was painted using a thicker brush and thicker paint to give a 3D effect to the water. Australia and the animals were painted using a combination of brush work and dot painting techniques. Damien Martin, Christine Ohrin and Leslie Atkinson from Hunter New England Aboriginal Health visited us during our mural painting sessions to deliver harm-minimisation education. The hazardous side-effects of taking drugs and drinking alcohol were discussed along with resources available to us if we needed help for ourselves and others. The most fun we had was when Damien brought out the beer goggles and we tried to walk in a straight line, catch a ball and pick up keys. The mural will be unveiled on Wednesday 18 September at 10:00am at the Gloucester Community Health Centre. All the students involved in the painting of the mural have been given special invitations for themselves and their families to attend the grand opening. The general public are also very welcome. For catering purposes please contact Damien Martin on 0429150343.

GHS JuNiOR BOOK CLuB Mortal InstruMents: CIty of Bones

TRiP TO THE FLiCKS GREAT LAKES CiNEMAS 28 AuGuST 2013

Things are definitely not what they seem in this fast-paced, action-packed film adaptation of the first novel in Cassandra Clare’s popular Mortal Instruments fantasy series for Young Adult readers. Good versus evil, 21st century style. Supernatural creatures (werewolves, demons, warlocks, vampires…) disguised as humans prowl the cinematic landscape. Thankfully, a Shadowhunter reveals that ‘Zombies don’t exist.’ No zombies? What a relief!City of Bones received a very favourable reception from the majority of our forty-eight movie-goers. Not one, but two thumbs up! The traditional icing on the proverbial excursion cake was a fast fast-food fix at Maccas. Overdosed with sugary treats, a rather noisy trip home was the order of the night. Ms Louise Hayne’s good humour and enthusiasm helped make the night a resounding success. Thanks also to Mr Bruce Reeves and Mrs Kerry Cowan (Newcombe Coach Lines), Mr Peter Howard and staff (Great Lakes Cinemas) and the cheerful, efficient team at McDonald’s (Forster). Special thanks to all those non Junior Book Club members who made this “out of town” cultural escape possible.The Mortal Instruments series is focused on ordinary girl Clarissa “Clary” Frayacquiring three mortal items: the goblet, the sword, and the mirror. Want to know what happens next? GHS Library has all the books. Read on, if you dare.

Ms Grey

REviEWSThe Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is an awesome action packed film. It shows the life of Clary who finds out that her mother has a dark and powerful secret. Clary has inherited supernatural powers from her father Valentine but her mother hid that secret from her and made a fake father to protect Clary from her real father’s evil ways. Valentine wants the powerful mortal cup so he can turn all people into Shadowhunters .Clary discovers that she is more powerful than her father and that makes her an important asset to the good Shadowhunters. I reckon it was an amazing trip to the cinema. I rate the movie eight out of ten because of its awesome special effects and the high content of action and drama.

Katie-Ann Thomson (Year 8)

The movie, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, is my favourite movie by far this year. However, even though there were some intense, scary parts, the book is way better! There were parts of the movie that weren’t in the book. Some of the settings were different and one of the characters even got killed! Though the ending of the movie was different to the book, I prefer the movie version because unlike the book it doesn’t abruptly stop. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out, even though it won’t happen for at least two years.

City of Bones. Where to start? Demon hunters, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and the bad guy. On the 28th a mixed bunch of students went to the movies to watch City of Bones which is also an awesome book. The movie was great but had way more violence than the book. The book is better at telling everyone about the magic of the Shadowhunter world. Don’t get us wrong, but the film didn’t focus on either Clary the mundane girl whose mother was hiding a dark dangerous secret or Jace the hot demon hunter who saw his father murdered before his eyes. The book tells the story better while the movie has its own perks such as its action packed scenes. If we had to rate them, the movie version would get an eight out of ten and the book ten.We would like to thank Ms Grey for organising the excursion and Ms Haynes for helping supervise us on an amazing trip (and that includes the Maccas).

GREAT WORKiNG HORSES by Angela GoodeFunny, familiar and deeply moving, these true stories of Australian working horses stretch over three generations and every part of our continent. Teams of powerful, labouring Clydesdales, patient and spirited saddle horses, brave police mounts and talented Olympic competitors, their stories told first-hand by the owners who cared for and worked alongside them.

paST ThE pOST by Helen ThomasRacing is a difficult business. When numbers crunch, they squeeze out any space for sentiment and loyalty between horse and human. Even the kindest owners find it hard to hold on to a horse that can no longer make it at the races. So what happens to all these beautiful, highly strung animals when they can no longer race? In Past the Post author Helen Thomas tracks down twenty-one former racehorses and tells their stories.

SERiES – THuNDERFiSH by Simon Higginsin the Jaws of the Sea (#3): The year is 2013 - an unlucky year. World powers are struggling to keep the awful secret that the planet’s food chain is collapsing after decades of harsh exploitation of the seas. Only one man can save the dying ocean: Myles Rountree, the rogue genius secretly called upon to prevent the extinction of the human race. But Myles sits trapped aboard a crippled submarine, deep below the ocean, teetering on the edge of a hull-crushing abyss.

SERiES – ThE ChaOS WaR SaGa by Raymond E. FeistA Kingdom Besieged (#1): Rumour and instability plague the Kingdom. Reports are flooding in of large forces mobilizing in the Keshian Confederacy – the likes of which haven’t been seen since before Pug and the Conclave of Shadows enforced peace. Massive events are about to unfold, events which threaten the future of all human life in Midkemia.

THE LAST PEARLiNG LuGGER by Mark DoddMark Dodd arrived in Broome in 1978 as a 20-year-old looking for adventure, after working his way across northern Australia. There he fell in with the crew of the fabled DMcD, one of the last of the old wooden pearling luggers that still worked the Kimberley coast diving for pearl shell. He came aboard as a deckhand before graduating to become one of the pearl shell divers. He dived for four seasons, living a life on the luggers and in the pubs and exotic alleys of Broome that would have been recognisable to pearl divers for 100 years before, but has now sadly disappeared forever.

WEiRDEST STORiES by Paul JenningsPaul Jennings’ books are enjoyed by millions of children throughout the world. From the hugely popular Uncollected series comes this special selection of tales – a showcase of Paul’s storytelling talents at their very best…..and weirdest!

SERiES – PHOEBE NASH by Justin D’AthDetective (#2): Sospeter – who isn’t exactly Phoebe’s boyfriend, or not yet – is coming to Australia from Africa. So is the famous sapphire-studded Blue Leopard mask. But everything goes wrong. Sospeter’s father has been branded a rhino-killer, and angry animal rights protesters are making sure the whole world knows about it. Worse, one of the sapphires is stolen, and Phoebe finds herself a suspect. And Sospeter is barely speaking to her. It’s a lot for one girl to take on……

SERiES – LOCKiE LEONARD by Tim WintonScumbuster (#2): There’s nothing straightforward in Lockie Leonard’s life right now. Dumped by his girlfriend, he’s back to being the loneliest kid in town until, that is, he meets Egg - who turns out to be the weirdest human being he’s ever met. On top of all that, Lockie decides to save the planet; at least the bit of it he lives on. Then he falls in love again, which would be OK except she’s younger and surfs better. Can a thirteen-year-old surf rat have a headbanger for a best mate? Will he save the town from vile pollution? Will his love outlast the school term? Another ripper set of circumstances to carry us through the life of Lockie Leonard, Scumbuster!

YEAR 9 TRiP THROuGH THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WiLLiAM SHAKESPEAREOn Friday 30 August, Year 9 had the pleasure of attending a performance at the Manning Entertainment Centre. The Complete Works of Shakespeare is a parody of Shakespeare’s plays… all 37 of them. The performance was brilliant; with improvisation, rap, pop culture and audience participation impressing our students the most. Although one of our teachers won’t be treading the boards again in the foreseeable future, Nic Butler, Anna Lewis, Anita Westley and Josh Wilson all participated with good humour. As you can see from the following comments, Year 9 are now able to see Shakespeare in a completely different light. Thank you to all the students for being fine ambassadors for Gloucester High School. “It was great! You learnt heaps and it was extremely funny.” Caitlyn“Their modern interpretation was good and the way they involved the crowd was great. Very funny!!” Coen, Ryan and Dakota“I loved being vomited on!” Anna“It was really funny. I was vomited on as well.” Anita“It was hilarious.” Molly“So funny, we cried!” Brianna, Lily, Leah“It was funny, apart from being attacked by a peacock.” Josh

Disclaimer: No students were actually vomited on and the peacock was a stuffed toy.
