JINDABYNE CENTRAL SCHOOL

NEWSLETTER TERM 2 WEEK 10

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE – FELIX BACHMANN

What an outstanding Semester 1 at Jindabyne Central School, not only

are we currently the Australian Primary Snow Sports Champions, we

also earlier this year for the first time in JCS history became the

Australian Mountain Biking Champions. Along with a plethora of other

sporting successes the achievements so far this year, in all facets of the

school, have been outstanding. I thank all the people that continually

work extremely hard every day at JCS to make these possible and

congratulate all the students, parents and community that contribute

to our achievements on a regular basis.

Here are just some of the developments and improvements over the past 21 weeks:

Countless Variations of Routine (VORs), camps, guest speakers and Excursions including Carnivals and

Regional SRC (Student Representative Council) conferences.

Extension of the JCS Agricultural Facilities that upgraded the Ag. Shed, created the addition of a greenhouse,

more than doubled the amount of garden beds, upgraded a facility for chickens and installed/built an outdoor

learning space to increase effective teaching time.

Successfully gaining access and voice for our student leaders in the “Go Jindabyne” planning.

An amazing School Musical production, “Footloose”

Re-opening of Kalkite St and the addition of a new gate to create greater efficiency for

students.

Establishment of the Primary Learning Centre and sensory room, “The Haven”.

Opening both the JCS digital library, with the support of the JCS P&C, and the Sentral Parent

Portal.

New and Updated signage across the entire school environment.

Installation of modern and highly durable bicycle racks for student bikes and scooters.

New Roof’s for the Secondary Learning Centre and Agriculture Shed, as well as new walls

for the Ag. Shed.

Increased cultural emersion, during NAIDOC week, which adds to the formal assembly

There are so many more fantastic opportunities that occur here at Jindabyne Central School every day and again I

want to thank the staff, students, parents, businesses & community that make this possible. During the holidays,

we will also be working on a great deal of painting across the school, polishing the Gym floor and getting the new

sound system installed within the Gym. I received several questions around the planned building works and with

many people having seen the Development Approval (DA) for one of the two new planned buildings, which have

been submitted to council by Schools Infrastructure NSW. The Tenders for the project have also been issued.

Fantastic to see this progressing, and a great deal of work has gone in around this. The second planned building

towards Snowy River Ave & Clyde St is still in final consultation around the shared community use. Once School

Infrastructure and the Council have finalised these agreements, the DA for that build will also be submitted.

With winter upon us, we see an increase in the amount of people and traffic in and around the Snowy Mountains.

During the holidays and Term 3, we ask the entire school community to be mindful of this and travel safely. Our

students are our most precious commodity and are likely to be making more errors than us. Let’s keep them safe!

JINDABYNE CENTRAL SCHOOL

Pick them up from the school gate, don’t call them across the road. Walk them around all the buses, not between

them. Hold their hand and teach them early about safe behaviours around roads. A good piece of advice is not to

leave your safety up to someone else’s behaviour, put in place protective behaviours. If another driver/rider/skier

or snowboarder makes a mistake, a lot of the time if you put in place the correct protective behaviours their

mistake will not impact upon you. It may be their responsibility or their mistake, but it will not change the fact that

someone may have been injured and it could have been avoided. A good example of this is when the chairlift stops

right up the top, when you are just about to get off, and you are stuck there for several minutes. You get off and

the run is clear! Sometimes it’s just better to wait and be patient. Think about the poor overtaking you see during

winter! We all need to remember this sometimes, as we are more important and our families are more important

than blaming someone else.

Enjoy the Winter Break,

Felix Bachmann

Proud Principal, Jindabyne Central School.

Cultural Walk to Curiosity Rocks for students celebrating NAIDOC As part of NAIDOC celebrations held at JCS on Thursday 4 July, interested secondary students went for a hike out to Curiosity Rocks and learnt about the cultural and spiritual significance of the site to the Ngarigo people. They were accompanied by Dan Nicholls from National Parks and Wildlife Service.

JCS debating team make JCS proud The Premiers Debating Challenge has the aim of developing the debating and reasoning skills of students from Years 5-12. The Challenge has commenced in our local area with schools competing against each other to become Zone Champions. In early June Jindabyne Central School’s (JCS) 9 & 10 team won their first debate that was held at Monaro High School. It was great to see a personalised welcome sign at the front of the school. JCS debated against the idea that home-schooling should be banned. The students did a fantastic job, spoke clearly, organised their points and rebuttals very well, and all round had a great presence about them. The four students represented JCS in exemplary fashion to then compete at Queanbeyan on Wednesday 19 June. With a 14 hour return trip door to door the Year 9/10 Team performed well in three debates, winning the first two debates with composure and great sportsmanship. The third and final debate represented a challenging topic and the team lost to Braidwood A. The team received helpful feedback from both adjudicators and demonstrated sound knowledge of current issues. The debate topics were ‘all under 12s sport should be mixed teams’ (JCS negative team) ‘broken election promises should result in another election’ (JCS affirmative team) ‘victims should get a say in the punishment of their offenders’ (JCS negative team)

The year 9/10 debating team consists of Lilly Wallis, Sienna Davies, Rowan Worsley and Zana Evans.

“Going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo” – Kindergarten Zoo Excursion JCS Kindergarten students visited the Canberra Zoo last Friday on a spectacular winters day where they enjoyed interacting with animals and exploring the zoo grounds with their friends. The excursion was a culmination of their science unit “staying Alive” With a 7:30am departure time for the 47 students and parents, teachers were impressed that the bus left on time and there were no tears, from the kids anyway. On board the 2 hour journey to the zoo students sung along to their favourite songs and chatted with each other. The focus of the day included observing and interacting with the animals via the guided educational tour where the students split into groups and asked many questions. Students held a corn snake, fed emus and deer and walked the Adventure Trail around the zoo, visiting many animal enclosures and learned a few interesting facts along the way. After lunch and a play they students went on a self explore with teachers and parent helpers before heading back home on the bus. It was a great day and teachers were really happy with the way the students behaved and supported each other. The Canberra Zoo excursion was again a success after the initial excursion held for the first time in 2018.

Year 9 indulge in Edible bugs for lunch

As part of their study into sustainable biomes Year 9 indulged in a lunch prepared by Mrs Holmes demonstrating alternative sources of protein and iron as an option to meat.

The students were adventurous in trying tomato salsa crickets, hummus and mealworm and parmesan crisp tyrant ants.

Edible bugs are the highest source of protein and iron and take less resources to produce than beef however it was difficult for students to put aside their western bias even though the food was delicious.

Yr 7 learn about landforms and landscapes through a Rock and Fossil Exhibition Year 7 Geography Students participated in a Rock and Fossil exhibition during June that was developed by Mrs Holmes to introduce geography. The exhibition was a creative way to highlight geological specimens from across the globe and offered a snapshot of the different disciplines of geography. Students were inquisitive and practiced asking geographical questions and made clear and definitive observations which led to building strong connections in their learning.

Yr 12 Physics students experience history making event at Snowy Hydro On June 13th, Year 12 JCS physics students had the privilege of receiving as special tour of the Guthega power station. For the first time in Snowy Hydro Scheme history, after 65 years of running, a generator has been replaced entirely. Our students were able to have a very close look at the individual components of the new generator and a unique chance to stand inside a stator and explore individual components of a rotor. The tour of the power station provided students with additional understanding of how electromagnetic concepts are utilised in these engineering marvels to generate electricity. Special thanks to Martin Grant and Adam Robinson for giving up their time for our students and providing an excellent educational tour and to Peter Heeley for providing transport and inspiring curiosity among our students.

4HY Fundraising Event Students of 4HY took the initiative to raise money for the RSPCA and during mid June the class baked and sold their items to other students during recess and lunch. Below is an article written by 4HY student Finley Stewart. 4HY held a fundraiser event to raise money for the RSPCA volunteer animal rescue service. On the morning of the 19/6/19 4HY went to the secondary school Food Tech room to decorate a range of delicious cakes, biscuits, slices and a lot of other things. We were selling the cakes on the basketball court to the secondary school first then we started selling to the primary. We all had a lot of fun trying to sell all of the cakes and tried to make up rhymes and jingles to try and get people to buy the cakes. On the day, we also held a Lolly Guessing Competition to help raise money. All up we raised $954 which will go to the RSPCA. There was a slight hitch in sales of the cakes, so we decided to have a second go at selling them the next day and sold every single left over cake.

Yr 9/10 Ag raise chicks Year 9/10 Agriculture have been learning about Poultry Production this term and have been demonstrating their great animal management skills. The students witnessed the hatching of fertilised eggs and then had the task of raising their own baby chicks. The students this week moved all their chickens to the outdoor chicken enclosure. Well done Agriculture students!

Master Chef Challenge for Yr 7 TAS Year 7 TAS 5 & 6 participated in a Master Chef like challenge as part of their assessment task for the Dairy Delicious unit. The students had to create a nutritious muffin and present it for marking. Mrs Piontek judged the students on their skills in the kitchen, how the muffin turned out and of course how it tasted. Well done Year 7!

Yr 8 mixed materials project Year 8 TAS have been busy all term creating individual projects as part of the Mixed Materials unit. The students were to design and create a product that had at least two different materials. There has been a variety of materials used from timber, fabric, steel and plastic. A great effort Year 8.

JCS students debate diplomacy issues in the UN Youth Australia Evatt Competition By Kyan Thomson (Year 9)

On Monday the 17th of June four JCS students took part in the United Nations Youth Australia Evatt Competition

from Years 9 to 12. Gil Perrin-Boxsell and Zara Gardiner represented Belgium, and Keely Green and myself attended

on behalf of the United Kingdom. The event was hosted by Monaro High School and attended by other students

from Monaro High and Saint Patrick's Parish School. Evatt is a Model United Nations Security Council diplomacy

competition for students from Years 9-12. More than 2,000 students from around Australia compete in the

competition each year. Teams of two students debate, amend and vote on prepared resolutions from the

perspective of their assigned nation. The Evatt Competition was run by University students from Canberra who are

part of UN Youth Australia.

Throughout the day students were tasked with debating on two resolutions, whilst representing their nations best

interests. The first topic on which we debated was ‘The Question of Climate-Induced Conflict’ and the second was

‘The Question of Venezuela’. In our debates we were required to critically think about the appropriate action to

take whilst upholding our countries values and best interests. During the debate were also tasked with voting on

making amendments to clauses, striking clauses and adding new clauses to the resolution proposed by other

countries, before making a final vote on the resolution. Teams were encouraged to negotiate with other countries

in the Negotiation Room and during the debates we were allowed to communicate with other countries via note

passing in order to discuss deals and alliances.

The process of the debate was highly structured and formal with all suggested amendments presented to the Chair

in the first instance. The Chair would then introduce the proposed amendments to the Security Council and all

participating countries voted on whether or not to debate the amendment to the clause. If the council voted in

favour of discussing the amendment, the country that proposed it was required to make an opening statement

about the intent of their proposal. The Security Council member nations were able to provide points of information

if they wished to discuss the proposal either in favour or against it. This process was repeated until the time limit

had been reached. This whole procedure made for a very informative learning experience. Being engaged in such a

realistic way was not only stimulating and challenging, it was also quite amazing to be able to put yourself in

another’s shoes and think as if you were seriously representing the interests of your country. I speak on behalf of

Gil, Zara and Keely when I say that this was a very enjoyable experience and something that we would gladly

participate in again.

The Evatt Competition was an amazing event to be able to participate in and something that I would strongly

encourage anybody with a passion for debating and an interest in world issues to involve themselves in. I would like

to acknowledge the effort and support of all teachers involved, as well as the UN Youth Australia for providing us

with the opportunity to participate in such a rewarding and inspiring experience.

WIM HOF AFTER SCHOOL SESSIONS If you’re aged between 16 – 18 years old and live in and around the Jindabyne area, come and give the Wim Hof Method a go.

WIM HOF METHOD The Method is categorised by 3 pillars; breath work, cold exposure, mindset and focus. It’s a simple tool but it takes commitment. Learn how to look after your mental health. Our mental health impacts how we feel about ourselves and therefore everyone else around us. When we’re in a good place mentally, we’re able to manage our feelings and everyday difficulties.

The method is a natural way to give you focus, awareness, presence, concentration and will power to help you study and be attentive throughout the day. The method will help you improve your sports performance. It helps us to train harder and longer, to recover faster and to create a mindset for pushing boundaries. The method exercises our nervous system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system and respiratory system, which is beneficial for our overall health. We focus on the inside. ABOUT WIM HOF SESSIONS Each week Leah will guide the group through the unique breathing technique followed by a talk on the science and theory behind the method and a short plunge in the ice tub. Leah will teach you how to produce endorphins naturally, with no side effects. She will talk about the effects of stress, anxiety and depression on our bodies and how the method will help you to build your mental resilience. The weekly youth sessions will start Tuesday 30th July from 4pm at the Jindabyne Yoga Shala. Contact Leah for more details.
