COLES SPORTING EQUIPMENT

Great Lakes College is collecting Coles Sports for Schools vouchers which will lead to new sporting equipment for students at

both Tuncurry and Forster Campus. Students have been spending their recess and lunch times counting the vouchers. This

turns into a maths lesson as they work out how much money was spent to earn the vouchers they have counted.

Thank you, to all parents, family members and community who have been supporting us by donating their vouchers. The box

can be found at the front of Coles in the front offices at Tuncurry and Forster.

MANNING ZONE OPEN GIRLS NETBALL

The Manning Zone Open Girls netball gala day is held each year between the schools of Chatham, Wingham,

Gloucester, Taree and Great Lakes College to determine which two Manning teams will contest the top 14 teams

from Newcastle.

Our gala day was held on Tuesday 27th February at Boronia Park, Forster. The teams played 4 games each of 40

minutes. Great Lakes College fielded a strong team consisting of Ellie Johnston (C), Chelsea Herb, Emily Driese,

Jillian Black, Jasmine Black, Mia Williams, Melissa Winter, Ali Edwards and Jade Astorini. All girls played

tremendously well in the spirit of the game. They ensured that they would win their games without humiliating

opponents with less experience. There was no holding back in their last game against Taree High School who had

gone through undefeated. It was 5 all at the end of an extremely tight first quarter but, slowly the players showed

their class and won the match 28-16.

Thank you to Sheree Collins for umpiring for Great Lakes College on the day.

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

We are delighted that this term, Forster Campus, like many other public schools in the state, will participate in a

Department of Education initiative: the Tell Them From Me student feedback survey. The survey measures factors

that are known to affect academic achievement and other student outcomes. The focus of the NSW-wide survey is

on student wellbeing, engagement and effective teaching practices.

More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au The survey is a great opportunity for our students to provide us with valuable and quick feedback on what they

think about school life, how engaged they are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them.

More than 6,300 schools in Australia and around the world have used Tell Them From Me to survey 5.4 million

students. Capturing the voices of our students will help improve how we do things at our school.

We want to assure you that the survey is confidential. The survey is conducted online and will typically take less

than 30 minutes to complete. It will be administered during school hours between 26 March and 13 April.

Participating in the survey is entirely voluntary.

A consent form and FAQs for parents/carers about the survey is being sent home with students. If you do not want your child or children to participate, please return the form to school by Friday 23rd March. Copies of the form and FAQs are available from: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-parents. Phil Grieve Stage 4 Deputy Principal Forster Campus

FORSTER CAMPUS PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

YEAR 7 MEET AND GREET BBQ

Monday the 19th of February saw a huge turnout of

Year 7 students, parents and Great Lakes College

Forster Campus teachers. The afternoon gave teachers

and parents the opportunity to meet and socialise in a

casual setting. While students enjoyed the north

easterly swell at Forster Main Beach, parents

approached staff with any concerns, questions, or

information to help the transition of their child into high

school. Great Lakes College Forster Campus staff highly

appreciate the time spent gaining valuable knowledge

from parents, which is needed to ensure all students

have the chance to succeed. We thank you, and we look

forward to a great future with you.

SRC DAY, A REVIEW

The SRC day was a great opportunity to learn more about ourselves and our capability to lead. The day started off

simply with a PowerPoint about our core values, expectations and leading aspects. The PowerPoint was a great

way to revise our requirements as respectable members of the school council. After the PowerPoint we were split

up into groups to participate in teamwork related games. The teams were jumbled, meaning you’d probably only

get a few of your friends in it, which resulted in a great friendship opportunity with our fellow SRC peers. We did

such things as discussing how to act around our fellow students, teachers, principal and members of the public. My

favourite activity we did in our groups where we were asked to pick a person we looked up to, our team chose

Martin Luther King Jr. Towards the end of this spectacular day we tied balloons to our ankles and tried to stomp on

our fellow friend’s balloons causing them to burst, the last one with a balloon tied to their ankle won. Our final

activity was proving that you should not judge a book by its cover. We were seated in a circle, a pile of presents in

the middle. We each came out individually and selected one, sat back down and waited for the others. Once

everyone had a present Ms Whiting read out a story, each time she said left, we passed a present left, each time

she said right, we passed a present right. In the end we had completely different packages from before, but each

contained the same thing. I saw this as a nice way to prove that even though something may look better, prettier

or be newer than the other, doesn’t mean they can’t be the same.

GRIP LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

Leaving at 4:30 am in the morning, we arrived at the leadership conference at approximately 9:00am. GRIP stands

for Generosity, Responsibility, Integratory and People. It was a work shop of leadership skills for all schools in

NSW. It helped us progress in our ability as leaders and we also met lots of new people. There were lots of fun

games and lots of laughs. The bus trip was a very big highlight bringing all 22 SRC members closer together. We

had many elective classes that we spread ourselves amongst and learnt many new ways to help our school

become a better place for learning and leadership.

FORSTER CAMPUS STUDENTS STAND UP & SPEAK OUT

AGAINST BULLYING & VIOLENCE

On March 16, over 600 students from Forster Campus participated in a variety of school

based activities, organised by the English Faculty and Student Support Officer Annette

Whiting, as part of the National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence.

The whole school event marked the sixth consecutive year of the Campus’ involvement in

the day and through a series of simultaneous workshops, students learnt real strategies to

'take a stand together' against bullying and violence in schools, the classroom and beyond.

As part of the day, students and staff proudly pledged to be respectful of others and stand

up to bullying wherever they encountered it. As a visual symbol of their pledge, all students

were given a ‘Take A Stand Against Bullying’ armband.

Students from Forster Campus joined approximately 840,965 other students from across

Australia participating in local school events to mark the day. The 2018 theme for the day

was ‘imagine a world free from bullying’.

REGIONAL KNOCKOUT VOLLEYBALL

On the 8th of February the Year 9 and 10 Girls’ volleyball team set off on

their maiden adventure to the Regional Knockout at Broadmeadow

Basketball Stadium. The girls were both nervous and excited about the

unknown ahead.

Their first match was up against Morrisset High School. The game plan was

serve strong and try to keep the ball in play. Gabby Simon who was

assigned the captaincy for the day was brilliant across the court. She

communicated well with her team mates and took ownership of every

touch. Other notables were Jade Astorini and Kyra Simon who showed

excellent transfer of skills. With some long serving runs Forster Campus

came out on top 3 sets to nil. In the second match, the girls came up

against Hunter Sports. Hunter Sports had a strong team with one player

who was a 6”2 NSW Basketball representative. Unfortunately our experience was lacking and it was a 3-0 loss in

the match. After this the girls had to do duty on the semi-final with the winner going to the State Knockout in

Sydney.

One thing that was really pleasing to see, as the coach, was the interactions that the girls were having with

students from other schools. All of our girls were polite and played a friendly game with girls from all over the

region. Going away and competing at these days is an important part of school but making friends from all over the

Hunter region is just as valuable.

DEFENCE FORCE PRESENTATION

On March 6th, members of the Australian Defence Force visited Forster Campus to give a presentation to students in Year 10 about possible careers in the Army, Navy and Air Force. Students were taken through a presentation outlining the different pathways and various support packages that are in place to encourage our young people to pursue careers in the Defence Force. The number of different jobs that can be carried out whilst working for the Defence Force came as a surprise to many of our students who were also impressed with the benefits that come with such careers. There were also plenty of opportunities for our students to ask questions about what it is like to work in some of these exciting professions. If students would like any additional information they are encouraged to speak to our Careers Adviser.

GIRLS TRY-A-TRADE DAY

In Week 5, some of our Year 9 and 10 girls attended the Girls

Try-a-Trade day which was run by the Supporting and Linking

Tradeswomen (SALT). This voluntary organisation

runs workshops throughout Australia to encourage women

to overcome gender stereotyping by having a go at 'Trade'

jobs. The girls had a great day learning new skills whilst

operating power tools and specialist equipment to make a

wooden tool box in the space of 3 hours. The afternoon

session involved the students being taken to the lecture

theatre at Tuncurry Campus to watch a documentary which

detailed the stories of four women who have made

successful careers from jobs that have traditionally been

dominated by men. All girls had a very enjoyable day and

were left inspired to pursue jobs that they have a passion for

regardless of gender stereotypes!

SWAP TIP 1 LUNCHBOX SWAPS

Four years ago Forster Campus was part of the Swap It, Don’t Stop It campaign. This health initiative was focused

on simple every day changes students and families could make to get on their way to a healthier lifestyle. Healthy

eating and getting active can help you lose centimetres from your waistline and prevent or delay the onset of some

chronic diseases.

We will revisit these easy swaps each issue of the Dolphin to refocus the school community on their health choices. Consider these easy swaps:

Swap big for small (portion control) Swap often for sometimes (occasional treats) Swap fried for fresh (nutritional quality) Swap sitting for moving (physical activity) Swap watching for playing (physical activity)

Lunchbox Swaps Get out of the daily weekday rut and give your lunch box a Swap It make over.

Swap fruit straps for a piece of fruit. Swap a packet of chips for a single serve packet of pretzels. Swap white bread and rolls for wholegrain varieties. Swap sweet biscuits for cut up veggie sticks with a small tub of hummus for dipping. Swap a chocolate bar for a piece of liquorice. Swap processed sliced meats in sandwiches for grilled meats or chicken, a boiled egg or tuna tinned in spring

water. Don’t forget the salad toppings.

Let’s get swapping and feel the difference!

TUNCURRY CAMPUS

DANCE AT GREAT LAKES COLLEGE IN 2018

As the new school year begins, the talented and enthusiastic dancers amongst us are preparing for a busy and

exciting year of festivals, performances and events.

Dance Ensembles

This year at the Tuncurry Campus there are three Dance ensembles who have already started rehearsing for the

Taree Eisteddfod. Ms Chanel Leaudais will be running the Year 7 ensemble, Ms Indigo Laurie will be running the

Year 8 and 9 ensemble and Mrs Leisa Beavis will be running the Year 10, 11 and 12 ensemble.

Taree Eisteddfod

Our first event will be the Taree Eisteddfod where all three groups will compete alongside each other and with

other schools from the Mid North Coast. As the winner last year we are hoping to have further success this year.

School Spectacular

We will also be sending our audition video into the Schools Spectacular audition committee in an attempt to secure

our place in the combined Dance section of this year’s show. We are hoping to be a part of this year’s School

Spectacular as our participation is biannual. The results of this audition should be released in early March so that

rehearsals can begin.

Mid North Coast Dance Ensemble

Cody Clayton of Year 12 and Mia Martin and Jasmine Willmot of Year 10 have successfully auditioned for the Lower

Mid Coast Dance Ensemble that is based out of Camden Haven High School. These students will rehearse monthly

and perform in the North Coast and State Dance Festivals as part of this prestigious group. Congratulation to those

talented students.

GLC Dance Night

Keep a look out for further information regarding our GLC Dance night where the talents of our dance students will

be showcased in an evening performance. This will be a chance for friends and family to view performances by our

dance ensembles and our HSC dance students.

Any student wishing to take part in any of these exciting events can contact Mrs Leisa Beavis at the Tuncurry

Campus for further information.

GREAT LAKES, GREAT ADVENTURE

Recently, 111 Year 7 Great Lakes College Tuncurry Campus students embarked on an outdoor adventure of a

lifetime, on the annual Year 7 camp held at “Adventure Land”.

Year Advisor Kingsley Pursch, noted that “the camp provided the fresh Year 7 students with an opportunity to get

to know their peers outside of the regular classroom environment, and make some life-long friends”.

Whilst at camp, the students participated in a range of activities including archery, flying foxes, waterslides, quad

bikes and (student favourite) ‘mud world’.

Dance and Drama teacher Leisa Beavis exclaimed that the students’ performances on the high ropes were some of

the best she had ever seen, “the kids were terrific, they gave everything a go and had a blast”.

As well as day-time activities, students and teachers were treated to after-dark adventures, with a spirited game of

commando and a competition fuelled games night.

Relieving Principal Paul Rosenbaum visited camp on ‘Games Night’ and was involved in a heated game of tug-o-

war, which reportedly saw the teachers embarrassingly defeated by the students, in what English teacher Laura

Greening described as a “devastating loss”.

The students spent 3 days at “Adventure Land”, an outdoor education centre located about 10minutes outside of

Forster at the old ‘Tun-O-Fun’ site.

Learning and Support Teacher Chanel Leaudais said she “found it hard to wave goodbye to camp on Friday”, but

left knowing that the students had an amazing time and had bonded with teachers, camp instructors and had

made some awesome new friends.

Coupled with the successful ‘Meet and Greet BBQ’ held recently, Year 7 students are embarking on an amazing

high school adventure at Tuncurry Campus.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING LAUNCH DAY

On Thursday 8th march we had our PBL launch day. The launch began with an assembly where Mr Rosenbaum explained the

new rewards system for Ernie points and Miss Lawrie talked about PBL. Then the whole school moved to the back oval where

we all formed the PBL letters while it was filmed by a drone. After this we all gathered on the oval to wait for the sliming of

teachers! Mr Rosenbaum, Miss Lawrie and Mrs Cougle got slimed by some of Mr Paterson’s Year 10 science students, Joel

Elliot, Ebony Cavanough and Halle Ford. It was very messy but what great sports!

During lunch there was a free sausage sizzle and we were all entertained by our very talented music students and even a

teacher band! Two of the students, Jade McGilvray and Alayna Craig performed a duet and Mr Gordin rocked it out on the

electric guitar.

During last period there was an array of activities that students could take part in. These included sponge throwing, donut

eating, tug of war, basketball shooting, soccer shooting, boules, AFL/football passing, Frisbee and 6 a side soccer. For those

students with an Ernie ticket they could get a free icy pole. Mrs Woolley gave the students a hand with the tug of war but they

were up against some tough competition with the boy’s team led by AJ Moran.

Check out more photos of the launch day in the walkway outside the Deputy’s office.

SENIOR CAMPUS EXCURSION TO HEALTH CAREERS FORUM

13 enthusiastic students from the Senior Campus attended the Health Careers Forum at the University of

Newcastle Department of Rural Health on Tuesday March 13, 2018. The morning involved finding out what it is like

to work in the health professions; with the focus being on Midwifery, Physiotherapy, Medicine, Occupational

Therapy, Speech Pathology, Pharmacy, Medical Radiation Science, Nursing, Nutrition and Dietetics. Students were

able to hear from experts in the field about what each job involves, the courses offered, how to gain entry into

these areas of Health and best of all they were able to be involved in some hands on activities. Some of these

activities included simulations of a person going into cardiac arrest and how to revive them, delivering babies,

understanding the impact a stroke can have on a person and the rehabilitation required particularly in regard to

their speech and swallowing mechanisms, dealing with injuries and practising strapping and plastering of limbs.

Students were also able to find out about scholarships, alternative pathways into these courses and the Wollotuka

Institute for our Aboriginal students. This opportunity is available each year, so if you are considering a career in

the health professions, please come along to the Health Careers Forum next year.
