Melba Voice

It’s a wrap! Congratulations to all members involved in the college production of Sweet Charity this year. It was an amazing show and all students should be so proud in what they have achieved. Special thanks to Laura Zinghini and Allirra Scott for the countless hours, long nights and flexibility managing such a large scale school production. Thanks also to all staff involved during the performances – these nights can’t happen as well as they do without you! 2020 Subject Selections

All Year 10 and 11 students have now been interviewed and counselled for 2020 subject selections. Students and parents have discussed with their course counsellor the expectations, pre-requisites, results, subjects and pathway options. Over the next two weeks Year 8 and 9 students will complete their subject selections. Students will have an assembly where they will be informed of subject selections. The school is currently creating year level course handbooks which will ultimately be made available via the College’s website for downloading. Parliament House Visit

Last Wednesday, I took two of our school captains in Dim Dim and Ezekiel to Parliament house where discussed a broad range of topics over dinner before being given a tour of our amazing Parliament building. It was fascinating to hear about the history, as well as engage in various political conversations over the evening. Well done to Dim Dim and Ezekiel for representing our college so well. Information Communications Technology 2020

Over the past weeks I have had numerous conversations with parents and students regarding the college proposing to introduce a school supplied Chromebook system to replace the BYOD i-Pad program in 2020 for Years 7-10. My door remains open should any parents still wish to discuss this or any other initiative with me. Appointments can be made via Pam Peters on 98704551. Melba Building Works

Our new S.T.E.A.M. Centre and Basketball Stadium are progressing well and are on schedule to be in use next year. We thank our families for their understanding when transporting students to and from school for the odd delays that inevitably occur with so many tradesman on site and movement of large vehicles during this period.

It was a very busy council meeting this month. Thank you to all those who attended the meeting on Monday, which was moved forward from Tuesday due to the School Musical Production. School Council welcomed back Don Gibbons from a lengthy absence, and we were pleased to have him present as a special visitor to explain, and work through, a large number of policies that the school is required to complete over the next few months. We are grateful for his expertise in this area. Several school policies were discussed at length and passed with some amendments. The Principal’s report was presented. We have 143 new students enrolled for Year 7 in 2020 which is wonderful. Mr Sykes is being kept busy with a consistent flow of school tours with interested families. Finance, Marketing and Education reports were also tabled, as was the Uniform Working Party report with some interesting feedback received. Work around the Melba College values is progressing with input being collated from students, staff and parents that attended Parent Teacher Interviews last week. The school is still working through the pros and cons of iPads v Chromebooks for Years 7 - 10. It has been decided to take next steps and look at relative costs, with a tender process going ahead for provision of the Chromebooks in 2020. The Council were presented with a report prototype for feedback and comments. This new reporting format looks positive and takes into account a range of ways to see how your child is progressing in school. It was brilliant to see that we have full Gym access back in time for Production and that the old Library building will be undergoing necessary repairs very soon.

Victorian Student Representative Council Primary Workshop

On Friday August 16 Melba hosted the VicSRC Primary School Student Voice Workshop. 40 students from 5 local primary schools met to discuss their current platform for Student Voice in their schools and ways in which to improve it. Members of Melba’s Student Voice worked collaboratively with the attendees to share how Student Voice has grown in the Melba community and workshop ideas to be taken back to their own schools. Our Student Voice also prepared a delicious lunch for the event. With special thanks to Ms Slattery for her tireless work in helping us prepare for this event. Thank you to Campbell Hayde, Amy Moss, Dawt Sung, Meg McDowell, KorKor Doe-Lawson, Mia Lauder, Cassandra Weuffen, Tye Edwards, Chloe Maclaren, Anna Setford and Elin Murray for your contribution to this successful event. We are looking forward to hosting the next Primary School Workshop on September 18. Term 3 Fundraiser

Term 3’s Casual Dress Day for a Cause was in support of the ‘Backpack Beds for Homeless’ which is a Melbourne organisation that creates a multi-use backpack designed for people that are sleeping rough. The backpack includes a sleeping bag that is semi waterproof and fire retardant, a mosquito net, a secret lockable pockets and is made from stab-proof material. Our aim was to raise $535 which would be enough money to provide 5 backpack beds to those in need. Our tally for the casual dress is $435, thank you to all of those that dug deep and donated. We would still like to reach our goal of $535 so we will continue to collect donations till the end of the term. Please see a member of ‘SV team’ in the Student Voice Office if you would like to donate. Lunch with the Principal

Recently Mr Sykes met for lunch with the Junior and Senior Leaders. Students discussed with Mr Sykes ideas and issues impacting what is happening both inside and outside the classroom. We are looking forward to meeting with Mr Sykes again in the near future to continue to work on improving Student Voice and Agency.

College Captains Parliament House Visit

On August 28 Dim Dim Zahlang, Mr Sykes and I visited the Parliament House of Victoria for a tour. We met numerous different school captains from the Eastern Metropolitan Region. Before the tour we had three MPs, Bruce Atkinson, Mary Wooldridge and Neil Angus talk to us about Parliament House and how we became an independent state in 1851, as well as some words of encouragement. The tour was guided by Nick Wakeling MP and it covered the Museum, Legislative Assembly (lower house), Legislative Council (upper house), the Library and the amazing architecture. We also learnt how the parliament functions. We had a very interesting and enjoyable evening and thank you to Mr Sykes for taking us to dinner. From Ezekiel Kheng Lawt

Envision Project Update We currently have 12,325 bottle caps for the Envision Program – keep collecting!!

As I sit here today, the sun has come out. It seems like we have had a very long, wet winter, and seeing the rays, not yet warming, but there nonetheless, changes so much. It is a well-known fact that winter is a time of depression and sadness, along with shorter days and colder nights. People get sick, leave and come home in the dark and feel the need to hunker down and stay warm. As the sun begins to come out, the days become longer and it feels like we are coming out of our very own little hibernation. On the holidays that are coming up, do try and walk in the sunshine, breathe some fresh air and enjoy some outdoor time and think of what we have to be grateful for. ‘Sweet Charity’, our amazing musical production this year, has finished. A huge congratulations to all of the staff and students, parents, helpers and supporters for what was an amazing show. The resilience, determination, tenacity and pure talent that was showcased for this year are outstanding. Thursday September 12 2019 | R U OK? Day is a national day of action, dedicated to inspiring all people of all backgrounds to regularly ask each other 'Are you OK?' It's a national day of action which aims to prevent suicide by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help stop little problems turning into big ones. On that day we want everyone across the country, from all backgrounds and walks of life, to ask family, friends and colleagues: "Are you OK?" Shopping Tour

Year 11 Psychology

Miss Luiyf and Mrs Bato are so proud of the creative and thoughtful way the Year 11 Psychology classes have made models of the human brain for their latest SAC. Students were required to use whatever materials they liked to represent the human brain. As you can see there was quite a variety including one with LED lighting to represent neural communication and another one that we could eat - YUM! Well done for a great effort Year 11s - and in their written reflections students have found the task really helped cement their understanding of the location and function of the different parts of the brain. This has met our goal as teachers to provide assessment that doesn't rely solely on writing.

Wellbeing Report Mrs Deb Stacey –Wellbeing Leader

WELCOME BACK- I’d like to commence by saying that I hope all Year 10 students and their families enjoyed a relaxing and safe break. Beacon Breakfast and Speed Careers Event

On Tuesday 20 August Melba College hosted its annual Beacon Breakfast and Speed Careers event. The breakfast component of the day served to further develop our ties with the local business community. Additionally, the breakfast served to acknowledge the ongoing contribution our invited guests make to this valuable program. During the Speed Careers session the Year 10 cohort were divided into a number of smaller groups. These groups then rotated through our invited guests. In so doing, students had a brief opportunity to learn more about the jobs performed by our guests. Once the groups finished their rotations, time was set aside for our students to ask questions of, or seek advice, from our attendees. Beacon Mock Interviews

The other major Beacon event for the term is the Mock Interviews. These interviews will take place between 8.50-11.30am on Wednesday September 18. This event will involve all Year 10 students. In preparation for their interview, students will be expected to prepare a resume and a covering letter in relation to a selected job or course. Students will be assessed based on the quality of their interview performance and this feedback will form part of their assessment for ‘My Career, My Future’. Interviews will last for 15 minutes and students are expected to attend in appropriate workplace attire. More information will follow in due course. Students will be given time to complete relevant documentation during their ‘My Career, My Future’ classes. Other Reminders

- Please contact the school to explain a student absence/s - Please always ensure that the school has updated personal details such as contact numbers. This is especially important in relation to medical matters such as food allergies/preferences or instances whereby a student/s might be injured. - Correct and complete uniform is to be worn daily. Notes should be provided when a student is out of uniform. Girls In STEAM!!

We had 8 girls who were invited to go to the Girls in STEAM program, run by The Mathematical Association of Victoria at Ivanhoe Girls Grammar on August 5. You might also remember this Friday as one of the coldest days recorded in August. Here are a few comments from the girls: Cing Boih:Today I have learnt that we don’t have to be perfect at everything to be very smart but we just have to try hard and manage our own time to achieve things. Don’t be scared to make mistakes because you learn everything from your mistakes. Nardu Doe-Lawson: It was very daunting at first when we were split from friends and put in groups with girls from other schools to make a ‘floating house’ but my group worked really well together(even though we didn’t win) and I made a new friend. Amy Roche: Today showed me that you don’t have to know what you want to do in the future and that by mixing what you love you with your strengths you can find a great job. Just go for what you want to do, don’t hold back. The biggest thing I got from today was get as much experience as you can in lots of different and varying fields. Merryn Rowlands: It was really empowering to hear about successful women’s stories and the variety of pathways they went through to get into jobs and careers that were personally fulfilling for them. It was very reassuring to know that when they were our age they didn’t know exactly what they wanted to do either. Tamsin Ball: Today showed me that you don’t have to have your future planned out at Year 10. A lot of the speakers didn’t know what they wanted to do specifically after high school but have still managed to end up in high positions in their field which was inspirational. Abbey Watson-Wilson: After today I now understand just how many options there are in the STEAM field. It also showed me that it’s ok if you are not sure what you want to do in the future. At the same time it shocked me that one of the female speakers, in 2019, was the first woman in her position and that motivates me to make history like her. Ava Chronis: Today at the girls in STEAM program, we learnt about the many job opportunities we are able to do in the future. Some

of these included meteorology, architecture, medicine and more. We were also given the opportunity to compete in a robotic car race, which was heaps of fun.

Year 10 Report Mr Michael Benjamin – Year 10 Leader

Meg McDowell: A bunch of girls from Year 9 and 10 all went to the girls in STEAM program, today, held at Ivanhoe Girls Grammar. It was really interesting listening to everyone speak about their experience with Maths and Sciences. We were all given cupcakes to have at morning tea and then we split off into groups to do activities. My group was able to have a go at playing around with robotic cars. The whole day was really fun! Mrs Harris

Debating Team

This year I had the privilege of being part of the Year 9 debating team that consisted of Harrison Postill, Meg McDowell, Korkor Doe-Lawson and myself. We had five debates in total but unfortunately for the last two the opposition forfeited their debate so we were unable to debate. We debated at Tintern Grammar against other schools in the region. The three topics we debated about were that horse racing should be banned, this was against Vermont Secondary College, and we were on the negative side. For the topic ‘that all political parties should have quotas for female candidates’ we were against Yarra Valley Grammar we were in the affirmative. Our last debate was that we should abolish standardized testing eg NAPLAN, this was against Our Lady of Sion and we were in the affirmative. Debating has been a great experience. I have gained confidence and knowledge. I got to know my team better and gain teamwork skills. I encourage anyone thinking of joining debating to join, it is a great experience and you will enjoy it very much. Thank you to Mrs Apostolou for enabling us to be part of this program and her ongoing support and guidance. Charlotte Rochford – Year 9

Melba students across a number of Year levels have represented the College in both the Eastern Region and Maroondah Division round robin competitions throughout August. It has been pleasing to see the number of students who have represented the College and we have even had a couple of wins, which was quite a boost for those students involved in these successful teams. Senior Girls Table Tennis

On Friday August 2, six girls represented the school in the Eastern zone Table Tennis Round Robin Competition. The girls participated in a full six team competition so it was quite a demanding day overall for them. Results: Round 1: Lost 2 rubbers to 4 against John Monash. Round 2: Win v. East Doncaster 4 - 2 Round 3: Win v. Lilydale Heights 6 - 0 Round 4: Lost v. Balwyn 0 - 6 Round 5: Lost v. Mt Waverley 3 - 3 (10 - 12 on games). Well done to all the girls who were very competitive against every school even Balwyn where we lost a number of games by 2 or 3 points. They showed great improvement throughout the day and all worked really well as a team. Four of the girls are still in Year 11 and will get to compete again next year. Team members: Karina Grubacki, Alexandra Banci, Isobel Buchan, Olivia Thomson, Ruth Tlu Mang, Reasmey Pech.

Year 9/10 Round Robin

Melba was represented by the following teams in the Intermediate competition held on Tuesday August 13 (2 Boys and 2 Girls Basketball, one Boys and one Girls Hockey and 2 Boys Table Tennis). Our Boys Hockey team were the most successful team on the day winning a tight competition on goal difference. The boys’ first two games were against Norwood (0-0) and Ringwood (0-0) and by the time we played Mooroolbark it was clear that we needed to win by at least three goals to be a chance of winning overall. The boys did exactly that scoring an early goal (Ram) followed by two more (Aung Nay Soe and Za Duh) to win 3-0. We then had to watch and hope that the final game would end in a draw between Ringwood and Norwood and despite some close calls the end result was 0-0 meaning that we won the day overall on goal difference!

Melba sent 2 boys teams to the district round robin played at the Dandenong Table Tennis Centre. In the first round, our A team boys were convincing winners 6 - 0 against Mooroolbark A. The ‘B’ team were just as convincing again winning 6 - 0 against Norwood C. Round 2 saw both our teams come up against Ringwood. Our boys competed really well and narrowly lost against both Ringwood teams. In Round 3, our ‘A’ team played against Norwood. We easily won 6 - 0. Our B boys won 5 - 1 against Norwood B. Both teams came 2nd in their section. Team Members: A Team: Johan Johan, Thang Za Thang, James Lungfa and Peter Zanniat B Team: Brayden Franken, Sascha Keiper, Nima Moalee and Addie Khianghte

Well Done Boys! Year 8 Winter (2) Round Robin

After training in their Sport Education classes throughout the term, our Year 8 students tested their skills in the Maroondah Division competition on Tuesday August 22. Again, it was our Hockey team who enjoyed the most success. We played a mixed team with three girls joining the boys on the team. Unfortunately Norwood did not have a team so we only played two games. The boys/girls played very well to win both of their games against Ringwood (2-0) and Mooroolbark (3-0). This result qualifies the team to play in the Eastern Region competition early next term (October 18). Goalscorers in the two games were Henry Henry (4 goals whist John Thang scored in the victory against Mooroolbark. Team Members: Tho Du Gladstone, Henry Henry, Biak Tin Hmung, Phun Bawi Kheng Lawt Eh Thur Kwe Hei, Holly Hansen, Ryan

McKnight, Fung Lian Sang, Summer Jade Herriott, Brit Jago, Muang Pi, Jack Lindner, Kevin Lu, David Ortiz, David Stojanovic, John Thang Year 8 Table tennis

Twelve students competed at the Year 8 District Round Robin after training all term in Sport Education. We sent one boys team and two girls teams. The boys played Norwood ‘A’ first and just won. It was three rubbers each however we won more games, 12 - 10. We then had a comfortable win over Mooroolbark ‘A’, 6-0. Our third round match was against Ringwood B. We just lost 3-3 (11-9). We were lucky enough to come first in our pool which meant we played Ringwood ‘A’ in the final. The boys tried hard but Ringwood were just too good winning six rubbers to nil. The girls teams competed against Ringwood ‘A’ and ‘B’ and Mooroolbark ‘A’. We beat Mooroolbark ‘A’ both times 4-2. Unfortunately, Ringwood ‘A’ and ‘B’ were just too strong with Ringwood A winning the Girls section. Team Members: Brian Pham, Hser Poh, Simon Za Thang, Thyson, Elijah O’Brien, Julianna Zanniat, Sandy Dang, Bella James,

Rachel Cinzah, Tina Kheng Lawt, Hayley Heron and Caitlin Witton. ‘SWEET CHARITY’
