On Tuesday 30 March, our College community gathered

in the Guilford Young Theatre for the annual Claremont

College Awards Evening. This evening was a chance to

recognise and celebrate the hard work and dedication of

both past and present students.

Our college operates on four important values, these

being Aspiration, Courage, Growth and Respect. These

are values that we expect everyone in our community to

uphold, and all our awards recipients demonstrated these

values to a high degree.

A highlight of the evening was the fantastic keynote

speech from accomplished performer and tutor, Naarah

Barnes. Naarah spoke about the support and guidance she

received from staff at Claremont College throughout

Years 11 and 12. She also spoke passionately about finding

the right pathway, and how important it is to continually

work hard and chase your dreams.

Other highlights were the musical performances from the

Claremont College Wonderband and Van Diemen’s Band,

featuring past and present Claremont College students.

This showcased the excellent skills our Performing Arts

department are consistently developing in our students.

It was an exciting opportunity for our community to come

together and celebrate the achievements of our hard-

working students. It was also important to recognise the

dedication of our amazing staff, who work tirelessly every

day to support the learning and growth of our students.

We congratulate all award recipients. They

will always be a part of the Claremont

College community and we wish them the

best for an exciting future.

Principal

TERM 2 REPORTS.

Claremont College teachers are

currently writing the Term 2 student

reports.

These reports will give parents and

students an indication of student progress, participation

and attendance so far in 2021 and are an important factor

in student success. The reports also give students a focus

for the remainder of the year, and will be available for

collection at the Term 2 Parent Teacher Evening.

Parent Teacher discussions will be held at Claremont

College on the afternoon of 25 May from 3.30pm-7.00pm.

Come and collect your student’s report and chat to

subject teachers about your student’s

progress.

CLAREMONT COLLEGE HEALTH AND WELLBEING EXPO

At the end of Term 1 Claremont College hosted a Health and Wellbeing

Expo organised by our Student Services team. The Expo was held within

Home Group and lunch break, providing the opportunity for all students to

attend. The Health and Wellbeing Expo consisted of 17 different stalls from a

wide range of Tasmanian youth, health and wellbeing services and

organisations. There were stalls held by external services inclusive of Pulse,

Headspace, Centrelink, Eat Well Tasmania, Oral Health Tasmania, Family

Planning Tasmania, Skin Cancer Tas, Bucaan Community House and Flinders

Island Aboriginal Association Tacking Smoking Program.

There were also stalls organised and run by

Claremont College staff including Jo from

UniHub, Social Worker Duff promoting

healthy sleeping habits, Brent advertising the

Claremont College Enrichment Program, Anna

advertising First Aid courses and Hobart

College School Health Nurse Lyndell tackling

drug and alcohol usage.

There were interactive activities for students

that included giant Jenga and drumming. The Health

and Wellbeing Expo saw a fantastic level of

participation from students who were engaged in

collecting information, resources and participating in

interactive activities. Claremont College would like to say a big thank you to all staff,

students and service providers for a great Health and Wellbeing Expo.

NEXT STEP TERM 1 EXCURSION

Next Step students went on an excursion on the MONA ferry to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG),

and Salamanca. The students and teachers got into the spirit of the holiday weather.

We started the day by taking the MONA ferry from Berriedale to Hobart. Our group took a short walk to TMAG,

enjoying a look around an indigenous display and a new exhibition, followed by morning tea in the sunshine.

In Salamanca Square we divided into smaller groups to complete maths activities about measurement and mapping.

After some lunch we strolled up to a big park, it was a great day out.

“I loved singing and dancing on the boat with Lachie and I filmed us

sailing on the river.” Tanika

“I loved going on the boats and seeing the museum.” Jacob

CLAREMONT COLLEGE CAREERS EXPO

The Claremont College Careers Expo kicks off on 4 May and we have a large range

of industry, employment and educational representation.

Students will have the opportunity to investigate and continue career conversations

with a vast range of industry specialists to gain valuable information to assist with

decision making during 2021.

Not only will students be able to talk to industry representatives, they will also have

the opportunity to investigate further education and training pathways through

TasTAFE, the University of Tasmania and Foundry as well as employment strategy

options with MEGT and Work & Training and many more.

The Library will host our education

providers (UTAS and TasTAFE)

while the Student Common Room

will be hosting representatives from

industry, employment, group training

and more. Students looking at what Drysdale has to offer will be able

to speak with Drysdale representatives in the new Drysdale Centre

of Excellence building which has recently been completed.

Students are encouraged to speak to a wide range of representatives

to assist in gaining valuable information which will help with future

career planning.

For more information leading up to the expo, please see Paul in

the Careers Centre.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

This term we are very lucky to have Tom O’Hern as an Artist in

Residence here at Claremont College. The Artist in Residence

program is funded through Arts Tasmania and supports

Tasmanian artists to undertake residencies in schools across

Tasmania. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to work

alongside a practicing artist, and to see them creating their own

artworks and talk to them about their work.

Tom lives and works in Hobart, and since completing his Bachelor

of Fine Arts (Honors) at the Tasmanian School of Art in 2006, he

has had many solo and group exhibitions. Tom has also created a

number of murals, with his work brightening up the streets of

Hobart, most notably in Mathers Lane and Bidencopes Lane.

Tom’s pictures are filled with strange beasts, freaks and monsters. They could be from a billion years in the past or a

billion years in the future. Feral hand fish, robot vacuum cleaners gone loose, volcanoes, two headed emus and giant

insects – I wonder what we’ll see emerge from the art rooms.

Tom will be with us for approximately six weeks and will be developing some works for an exhibition as well as

creating a wonderful new mural for the exterior of the Art Block. We welcome Tom to Claremont College and look

forward to watching the progression of his work over the coming weeks.

2021- REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS FOR EXAMS

Claremont College and TASC recognise that some students may not be able to access or participate in TASC

accredited courses on the same basis as other students without access to reasonable adjustments. This may be

because of a physical disability, a medical condition or a learning disorder. Adjustments can be made to exam

conditions to assist students who require this.

Students who believe they need to apply for reasonable adjustments for exams should:

• Firstly discuss this with their Level 3 or 4 subject teacher – they can give you more information and direct you

to the website for further information.

• Contact B block to schedule an appointment with Alana (school psychologist) if they need assistance

completing the application.

• The application needs to be completed no later than Monday 17th May to allow for the applications to be

processed and submitted.

Applications are now open and will close at the end of May. Application forms and the Reasonable Adjustments Policy

document are available on the TASC website www.tasc.tas.gov.au (Students > Years 11 & 12 > Preparing for Exams).

Year 12 or 13 Students who were approved for TASC Reasonable Adjustments in 2020 will be contacted to advise

whether they have been automatically reapproved for 2021, or if a separate Reapplication Form is required.

ASSOCIATION INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the Claremont College Association is to enable the College community and staff to work in

partnership to provide the best possible education and college life for students. It is also an ideal avenue to allow

interaction with the College at all levels as well as an opportunity to meet the wider College community.

Parents, College staff and community members together form the College Association. As a parent/guardian at

Claremont College, you are automatically a member of the College Association. All parents are encouraged and

welcome to attend Claremont College Association meetings, usually held once per term.

AGM NOTICE

The College Association Annual General Meeting will be held on 4 May 2021 at 4:30 pm. All are welcome to attend

either in person or through a zoom meeting appointment (video conference software).

Should you have an interest in nominating for a position on the committee, please contact the College Office on

6849 6868.
