Care Achievement Respect Effort Responsibilty

NATIONAL DAY AGAINST BULLYING & VIOLENCESchools across Australia took part in the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence on Friday 15 March, 2019.

Gloucester High School was one of the 5726 Australian schools taking part. The day of action gives schools the chance to take action and empower students to be part of the solution when addressing bullying at school. There is an opportunity for students to focus on bullying and the changes we can all make to create safer communities for everyone.

The entire student body at Gloucester High School watched a very inspiring video about the life of Nick Vujicic who was born with no arms and no legs. His story about bullying and how to combat it was very moving and inspiring for the students.

Students also had the opportunity to write a message on an orange ribbon. Students could write a message to a bully, a person who’s been bullied or a message to oneself. The ribbons are now on display at the Gloucester High School front gate demonstrating taking a stand against bullying and violence. This initiative is something the entire community can be a part of.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORTEach Thursday morning a few dedicated teachers and community members greet our students with a breakfast of toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches and plenty of seasonal fresh fruit. I would like to thank our teachers; in particular Sam and Risa and the community members from Bucketts Way Neighbourhood Group, Taree Aboriginal Police Liaison Officer, DoE Aboriginal Police Liaison Officer, our local police officers, church groups and Lions Club who spend time connecting with our students through the Breakfast Club.

We are currently getting maintenance work done around the school. The back car park will have the damaged squares of concrete replaced, hence the car park will be out of action for approximately two weeks. The library will be re-roofed and have new guttering, downpipes and fascia boards replaced. A number of staff rooms and the print room will have upgrades to the sink areas and work spaces.

NOTE regarding on site car parks at GHS. Parents and community members are reminded that the car parks are not for student pick-ups or drop offs.

I would like to remind parents about student attendance. The following is an article by Michael Grose that I have shared in the past, yet it is a timely reminder that ‘It’s not OK to be away’.

“ATTENDANCE: IT’S NOT OK TO BE AWAY!”

A considerable number of students across Australia and at our school are having their opportunities to perform to their potential adversely affected by parent condoned absences.

Once it was the case that students only missed school when they were genuinely ill, but now that has changed. Students are being allowed to stay away from school for an ever increasing number of excuses including:… birthdays… relatives visiting… to be with parents at home… look after younger brothers and sisters… day off shopping or hair dresser appointment

The thought of an argument with children to get them to school is often too great to bear for some parents. Every day a student is away, they are losing a learning experience. Over time, their knowledge base will be full of holes, like Swiss cheese. Learning is sequential and attending three out of four lessons leaves gaping holes.

A sobering fact is that in Australia today, the average student will lose one year of education (200 days) through parent condoned absences over their school career from kindergarten to year 12.

After love and care the most important thing that we as parents can give our kids is an education. Let’s do it.Should you require support in saying NO to your son/daughter on their attendance please contact us immediately.We all can work together to make a difference to your student’s future.“Be on time, be at school, that’s the rule.”

Further to this, the Department of Education expects family holidays to be taken during school vacation times. If this is unavoidable as sometimes it is, then parents are asked to let the school know and complete an application for leave.

GREAT AUSSIE BUSH CAMP 62 students fronted the starters gun for the bus trip to Tea Gardens. Year 7 were destined for the Great Aussie Bush Camp (GABC) and this, their first camp as a high school year group. The GABC has become an institution for GHS Y7 students. It is talked about, laughed about and is fondly remembered by students who have taken this same bus trip in the years proceeding this 2019 year group. No activity is spoken about more so than the Lost Island; a Commando style physical training course of water filled channels that surround the ‘Lost Island’. This is a lot of fun and 2019 continued this tradition. It is gross, smelly, muddy and a physical challenge for both students and the teachers brave enough to take that initial drop through the tyre tower and into the pond.

Over the three days our group of 62 were divided into 3 smaller groups and were guided by the GABC’s fantastic Rachael, Lucas and Hayden – and not to forget night security, Maddie and Warren. Monday afternoon and group 1 remained in camp for archery and the high ropes course while groups 2 and 3 headed off to the beach to participate in the team challenge of building a raft from 4x2’s, inner tubes and rope. This raft then had to carry 3 students over a course of some 50m. To the credit of the rope tiers all rafts held together remarkably well.

GREAT AUSSIE BUSH CAMP continued.....At the beach, as one group were raft building, the second group of students were introduced to sailing in pairs which was a lot of fun. This was challenging to begin with as the strong south to south easterly wind made for many capsizing and swimming moments. As the afternoon progressed the groups switched activities and the wind eased to a respectable north easterly and sailing conditions were just about spot on. All participants thoroughly enjoyed the two beach activities. There was even time for a swim between activities before the bus ride back to the GABC for dinner.

Monday night saw the torches come out for a search and rescue mission. The mission being to rescue players, from a secret camp deep within the Tea Gardens bush, and return them to the base camp. Rescuers soon learnt that turning the torch off was just as important as turning it on. Some also had difficulty in keeping quiet which made sneaking up close enough to attempt a rescue a challenge in itself. More often than not, the spotlight of the patrolling guards had the rescuers heading empty handed back to base camp. A lot of fun and great problem solving for the thinkers; hands down a win to guards with just the one rescue made. The night ended with stories being told by the GABC leaders around a camp fire where cookies and milk were served.Tuesday commenced with all groups heading to the above mentioned ‘Lost Island’. This activity lived up to the overnight chatter and dread. The pumps were turned on, the channels filled with water, and that drop through the tyres became real. Yes, the water was wet, and the mud was smelly. It all ended well however, with the bush shower followed by a real shower and a refreshing morning tea.

Next up was a bus ride from the GABC along Mungo Brush Road to the sand dunes just to the north of Hawks Nest. Here we were told of the history and importance these sand dunes were in the lives of the Biripi and Worimi people during times of celebration. Permission is given by the Elders and the National Parks to use these grounds for both the historical education and the enjoyment of today’s students. Did you know - that the sand dunes contain an active aquafer system and this water was used by the coastal aboriginal people as a source of pure water adjacent to the ocean. With the conclusion of the history lesson, students were set a course ‘up’ and ‘down’ the adjacent sand dune. This was well received with all completing the course at least a couple of times – some I think probably more than 6 times up and down. This was followed by a BBQ lunch at the beach.We were joined on Tuesday by Mrs Cameron and Mrs Davis from the SLSO team who had organised for three students to attend on the Tuesday. These kids had a great time. Thanks to the GABC for accommodating this request.

GREAT AUSSIE BUSH CAMP continued.....Tuesday night was games night on the oval – this was just for fun. Lots of running, mosquitos and laughing. The sharks and lifesavers game a classic take-off of Australian culture and a day at the beach. The night ended with another camp fire and in lieu of story time, a sing along encouraged by Mrs Llewellyn and budding guitar singer extraordinaires, Masters Kyden De Angelis and Hamish Wakefield. Well done boys, and well done to the singers who made the night a success.

Wednesday and rise and shine at 6:00 AM to start the pack-up and clean-up before breakfast. This completed, the third group headed off for sailing and raft building while groups one and two remained on site for the high ropes course, archery and the dual flying fox. Mr Herps couldn’t resist the archery and joined in what was a fun activity. Targets were missed, some were hit and some hit the bullseye. Great job everyone.

The high ropes had EVERYONE talking it up but in reality, when the safety harness went on and the ground seemed a long way down, this activity challenged everyone. Some on a physical level and some on a deeper level where they discovered feelings and ability they did not know existed. Well done to EVERYONE for having a go at this. It really is one of those activities where we all learn something from within ourselves. Finishing off, the dual flying fox was just plain fun. Some needed a push to take the leap but then it was race your mate high across the mangroves to the catching team some hundreds of metres away.

Back for lunch, and the flag had dropped on another Great Aussie Bush Camp and we all headed for the bus and the ride back to school. Hmmm, how many went to sleep?Until next year.

Mr Herps, Y7 Adviser (and GABC survivor.)P.S. Did I mention the noise, yeah, the noise on the bus... and the smiles.

MARS ROVER TRAINING DAYHave you ever wondered how NASA used a robot rover to collect data on Mars?

On Wednesday 27 February, a team of students from Year 9 and 10 iSTEM classes joined with fellow students from Dungog and Bulahdelah High Schools for a day of coding and robotics led by Luke Hackworth of Obelisk Systems. First of all, the students were introduced to the coding platform Python and it wasn’t long before the robot rovers were on the move using on-board sensors to collect data and respond to their environment.

This program has been funded by AGL Energy, the major sponsor of the Greater Barrington STEM community (a collaborative initiative of Bulahdelah, Dungog and Gloucester High Schools), the RDA Hunter ME program and further assisted by the Rotary Club of Dungog. Students who participated in the training day will now be called on to pass their knowledge to their classmates and there are plans to take the robots around our primary partner schools.

Lunch was provided by Mr John Walton (Rotary). Thank you John for your part in organising this successful day.

ARTEXPRESSOn Friday 8 March, Year 9, 10, 11 and 12 Visual Arts and Photographic & Digital Media students travelled to Sydney on Gloucester High School’s Artexpress excursion.

After an early start and a long drive, we arrived at the Armory Gallery at Homebush about 10.50am, for the first leg of the excursion. Artexpress, for those who don’t know, is a selection of HSC student work from the previous year’s HSC examination. To be considered for this exhibition your Body of Work has to achieve a top 10% result.

The work is usually awesome and can be extremely motivational for students or extremely scary, as the standard is very high and is set at a state level.

From the Armory we walked to the Homebush Ferry wharf and caught the Parramatta ferry into Circular Quay, then walked to the Rocks for lunch. It’s always a great location for lunch, being one of the more popular areas of Sydney.

After lunch we jumped on the bus again and made our way to the Art Gallery of NSW for the second part of the Artexpress exhibition. We also were fortunate enough to take in a Brett Whiteley Drawing exhibition. This gallery has an amazing array of artworks from numerous artists, both local and international, as well as historical artworks and a very diverse collection

of contemporary artworks. They also have an excellent Aboriginal Gallery that quite a few of the students were able to view.

At 3.45 we boarded the bus for home, stopping at the twin servos for the obligatory Maccas dinner stop.

A very long but enjoyable day for all concerned, and I’d liked to thank Mrs Wendy Fraser, Mrs Marika Edstein and Mr Rob Seale for accompanying us on the trip.

Work ExperienceYEAR 10 students only have 2 weeks to finalise Work Experience!!!!

All Year 10 students should be going out on Work Experience in Week 10 (April 1 – April 5) and Week 11 (April 8 – April 12). By this time, all paperwork should be finalised. However, there are still several placements that have NOT been made. Students that have not organised themselves, need to do so ASAP.

Students have also received a Work Experience Handbook that includes 2 Evaluation forms for employers. These Evaluation forms must be given to the employers on their first day of work. They should be completed by the employers throughout the placement and collected by the student on their last day of work. They will then be returned to Mr De Angelis upon their return to school Term 2.

All students will also be issued with an Emergency Contact Card. They need to ensure they give this card to the employer in case there is a more serious injury during work.

What we expect of Students:

Work Experience is part of your Year 10 school work and therefore continued excellent behaviour is expected. You are also representing the school, very much in the public view and the continued success of the program depends on student/employer cooperation.

What to do if:

1. If you are sick you must…… a. Ring the employer and let them know. b. Ring the school (or Mr De Angelis) after 9:00am and report that you are sick. 2. If you are running late….. a. Ring the employer and let them know.3. If you are unhappy in the job……. a. Ring Mr De Angelis and let him know. Don’t just disappear or become “sick”.4. If you are injured during your work experience…… a. Report the injury to the employer immediately b. Ring the school and let Mr De Angelis know.

Have a great couple of weeks Year 10 students! Make the most of your experiences, represent our school with pride and enjoy yourselves. Good Luck!

BAKER SHIELD CRICKETOn Tuesday 18 March, 13 boys from Years 7 and 8 represented Gloucester High in the Baker Shield, a state-wide under 14s cricket competition. Gloucester hosted the event, with teams from Forster, Tuncurry and Wingham travelling to play two 20/20 games.

Playing Tuncurry in our first game, Gloucester won the toss and decided to bat. Recovering from an early wicket, the Edwards combination of Nic and Harrison steadied the ship adding 33 for the second wicket. They both went soon after but Gloucester again rallied with a good partnership between Travis Sansom and Jack Bignell. The innings finished with a flourish, with a big hitting 24 from Anthony Shultz and Gloucester posted a highly competitive 99 from its 20 overs. The Tuncurry innings never really got going, thanks to an early run out by Sam Whittaker, good catches by Zac Schaffer and Sam, and steady bowling from Travis Sansom and Jack Bignell. Tuncurry were dismissed for around 40 and Gloucester was through to the second round.

We then faced Forster, winners over Wingham in their first game. Forster batted first, were 1-48 at drinks and a big total seemed likely. However, Gloucester fought back strongly, strengthened its fielding and did well to limit Forster’s total to 98. The positive start we needed in our run chase did not quite happen and though many batsmen made a start, none were able to develop the strong innings we required. Forster’s bowlers were too good on the day and Gloucester’s run chase never really got going.

The boys played both games with enthusiasm and a positive spirit and represented our school with pride. Special thanks to Ken ‘Swampy’ Garland for preparing the wickets – particularly given the storms and rain experienced in town in recent days, to Steven Bignell and Gloucester Junior Cricket for the use of their kits, to parents and family members who joined us on the day and Midcoast Council for the use of the grounds.
