HSC Body of Work Exhibition

On Tuesday, 4 September 2018, our school hall was transformed into an

amazing art gallery displaying the talent, dedication and effort of our 37 Year

12 Visual Arts students and their nurturing teachers. The Official Opening at

6 pm was well attended by the Director, Neighbouring School Principals and

staff, Year 12 parents and families, SGHS staff and peers from SGHS and local

schools. Ms Lyris, our Principal welcomed our guests and congratulated Year

12 students on their spectacular artwork. She also thanked the Year 12

teachers, Ms Papas and Mr Middleton for their support of the girls. Year 12

students mingled and proudly discussed their work and how their piece had

developed over the year. Representatives from each class thanked their

respective teachers and presented them with bouquets of flowers. Parents

were very proud of the achievements of their daughters and thanked the

teachers for their guidance and mentoring through the year. The artwork has

now been packed and submitted to NESA for marking. Congratulations to our

Visual Arts students for their tremendous major works.

Week 8B Term 3 2018

On Sunday, 2 September, 5 students from Strathfield Girls High

School participated in the 49th Japanese Language Speech

Contest at the University of NSW. Da Eun Choi and Wonjeong

Yoo of Year 11 were in the Wakaba Division, which was for

beginner contestants. Kimaya Gadre, Megan Lam and Zaeema

Zameel were in the High School Senior division. They had all

written, edited, practised, and memorised their speeches.

On the day, they were a bit nervous and excited at the same

time. After the nerve wracking experience of delivering a speech

in another language, the food, over socialising with peers was

enjoyed. Our students were also able to participate in other

activities, such as Furoshiki wrapping.

The day ended with the award ceremony where everyone was

presented with a participation certificate. Da Eun Choi received

an excellence prize for the Wakaba Division. She was presented

with a medal and everyone shared a proud moment.

Well done to all our students.

Much to the delight of our students, Dinley Jones, the young

Sydney performer who recently premiered his debut single ‘Radio’

visited SGHS at part of his school tour 2018 initiative.

In an interview, Dinley revealed that he made “Radio” because he

“wanted to make something fun and silly, to make the people

dance! We wanted to put a smile on people’s face and hopefully

make their day just that bit better with this song. And in the best

case, inspire them to really be themselves without fearing how

other will perceive it.”

Thanks to Ms Wong for arranging this performance.

Our School Administrative Support Staff are the engine, the pulse of SGHS and we could not do the job that we do without their tremendous support! Our SASS colleagues are much appreciated, not only in this week, but all through the year. To thank them for all that they do- BIG and little- to make life easier and our school run smoothly and efficiently, we treated them to a morning tea on Thursday, lunch on Friday and a little token gift of appreciation.

Three cheers for our wonderful SAS Staff.

Week 7 Sports News STRATHFIELD PARK SPORT

A number of sports are held at Strathfield Park each week, and the students are actively engaged in all sports. Students participate in a round robin competition in Basketball and Netball. Representatives from NRL Limited and Cricket NSW teach the students the skills needed to participate in a game.

BStreetSmart The Program

The one-day program consists of morning and afternoon sessions. The morning session is focused on a motor

vehicle crash scenario, which includes the lead up to a car crash involving three young people and a motorcy-

clist. The scenario shows the interaction of the rescue services at a crash scene and the potential consequences

of being involved in a crash, and includes an insight into the patient’s journey through the hospital from the

emergency department to rehabilitation. Following the crash scenario, two presenters from the Brain Injury Unit

at Westmead Hospital – who have all suffered a traumatic brain injury as a pedestrian, passenger or driver of a

car – give talks about their experiences which are a powerful reminder of how trauma could affect anyone of the

participating students. There is then a discussion from TfNSW regarding safety on the road.

Following this there are 21 interactive displays for the students to participate in, and access current information.

The afternoon session of the program includes a guest speaker who has sustained a spinal injury due to a car

crash and a live demonstration of stopping distances.
