Taroona Views Issue 5: 30 May 2016

From the Principal

Student Participation

When students in Grade 7 come to Taroona for the first time, we always emphasise how

important it is to participate in as many things as possible, in the hope of finding that ‘one

thing’ that sparks enthusiasm and interest. We have been absolutely thrilled with the level

of participation in events so far in 2016 – not only from Grade 7 students, but the whole

student body. Things that are currently receiving great support are:

Maths tutorials

Chess club

Sailing

Computer gaming

Debating

Water polo

Science and Technology Challenge

Student leadership programs

Music camps

Upcoming trips to Mt Hotham and New Caledonia

Upcoming Ember

These are just a few that are currently operating. We would like to thank all of the teachers

and staff who are facilitating and organising these activities because, as you can see, most of

them happen because the staff are willing to volunteer and give up personal time to support

our students in their various endeavours.

NAPLAN Week and Open Week

Last week and the week before saw two big events at our school, Open Week and

NAPLAN. Both have the potential to be disruptive to our normal learning program, but I

would like to thank everyone for the calm and organised way these events took place.

Open Week saw a very large number of potential students, along with their parents, touring

the school and being expertly guided and advised by some of our current students. The

guides were all volunteers from all grades. The reports back from the visitors on the

manner and quality of information from the guides has been heart-warming and we want to

thank and congratulate each and every one of them. We firmly believe that we could have

asked any student to be a guide and they would have represented us with pride. Personally,

I had the opportunity to go into several classes and ask for a volunteer and was always

greeted with a series of hands willing to help.

I have had the opportunity to accompany many of the visitors around on their tours, and I

have been thoroughly impressed with what I have seen and heard from students. Not only

have the tour guides been welcoming, friendly and informative, but the students in the

classes that we visited have been on task, engaged in their learning and attentive to the

task they were performing. They answered impromptu questions from the visitors and

most importantly have been able to articulate what they are doing, and why they are doing

it.

In regards to NAPLAN results, we believe that they will be

available towards the end of Term 3. As is our normal practice,

we will forward these to parents when they are delivered to us.

Winter Weather

It looks as if we are finally going to get some rain. I am sure this is

a great relief to managers of Aurora, farmers and those amongst us

who love their gardens, but it can be awkward in the school

setting. We encourage students to get outside where possible, but

when the ground is wet, it important to avoid mud and puddles.

We don’t ask students to take their shoes off when they enter the

building - like they probably do in their own home - so we often

have quite a deal of mud and water carted inside after break time.

This makes for very hard work for our dedicated cleaners and

support staff to keep carpets and other floor surfaces in a

reasonable condition.

We ask students to please be considerate on wet days, stay out of

wet areas and if they do walk over a muddy surface, wipe their

shoes on mats as they enter the building.

Dog Walking in the School Grounds

People who walk dogs through the school grounds outside school

hours are reminded that dogs must be on the lead at all times.

Neighbours have expressed concerns about dogs running free.

Hobart College -Taste of College Day for 2017 – 16 June

Grade 10 Parents/Guardians and Students please note:

All Grade 10 Students from Taroona High School attend Hobart

College on 16 June 2016 for Taste of College Day, regardless of

which college they are ultimately attending. The day is compulsory

for all Grade 10 students. If your child is unwell, please notify

Student Services at Taroona High School.

At the end of last term all Year 10 students were given a booklet

to share with parents/guardians about the day at Hobart College

and what courses they may wish to try. Students will be enrolling

formally for the Taster Day in class this week.

Taste of College is a day where students find out how a college

works and what the expectations are for them in 2017. They go

to a home group, assembly, subjects they have selected and

students participate in many activities provided for them.

Students are to make their own way to the college and will be met

by our staff to participate in a great day.

Hobart College Transition Program 2017

For all Grade 10s attending Hobart College next year, the first of

the major on-campus orientation visits is on Thursday 16

June at Hobart College. This is one of the many opportunities for

students to familiarise themselves with the campus, find out about

college life, talk with college staff about subjects and get excited

about the transition to college in 2017.

Parents/carers wishing to find out more about Hobart College and

the enrolment process are invited to attend the Hobart College

Parent Information Evening on Thursday 4 August at

7.00pm in the main Theatre.

Please check out the Hobart College website for more

information about enrolment, subjects and courses available in

2017.

Wilderness

Camp

13-15 May

A few students

and pre-service

teacher Ryan

Thompson

travelled on the

school bus to

Cradle Mountain,

staying for two

nights at Gowrie

Park Wilderness

Village. In the

National Park,

they walked past

Marion's

Lookout on the

way to the

1545m Cradle

Mountain summit

and returned via

the Wombat Pool. All students were prepared for cold and wet

conditions, although it was mostly clear. During the return to

Hobart, they stopped in Deloraine to see a silk 'tapestry' depicting

the developments in the Mersey Valley region and in Ross for a

market. A particular highlight was seeing a wedge-tail eagle

finishing breakfast standing by the side of the road!

A Team Effort at the Science & Engineering Challenge!

Congratulations to the Taroona High Science and Engineering

Team of thirty Grade 9 and 10 students who won the second day

of heats in Hobart. We are now invited to compete in the Super

Challenge (State Final) on Friday 3 June.

The Taroona team was

made up of smaller teams of

3-4 students who worked

on one or two challenges

for the whole day. It was

important the teams

worked together

collaboratively, by

communicating well and

encouraging each other,

having a laugh and not giving

up when things got tough!

Students from all the

schools were also very focused throughout the day, because

ultimately it is a competition, and each challenge earns points

which go towards the school’s final score. The final scores were

close, (50 points between first and second). Taroona won because

although we only got two firsts, all teams did well overall, so our

win was truly a TEAM EFFORT!

Over the next week the team will need to meet up and reflect and

share - what worked and what failed. Our teams will not know

their challenge for the State Final until it is pulled from a hat on the

day!

We would like to

thank the

University of

Newcastle, the

University of

Tasmania, Rotary

Tasmania and all

of the wonderful

volunteers who

make the Science

and Engineering

Challenge happen

every year!

“Beyond Blue” Free Dress Day - 3 June 2016

The Grade 10 SRC are pleased to coordinate

our next Free Dress Day on Friday 3 June,

2016. The SRC would like our school

community to recognise, and support, the

Beyond Blue organisation by giving a gold

coin donation on the day. In exchange, students are invited to

dress in the colour blue on this day.

Rostrum – Voice of Youth

Congratulations to all six students who participated in the

Southern heats of this demanding public speaking competition on

Saturday 7 May - Ellie Clarke and Bryher McKeown (Grade 9), Lilli

Westcott, Annwen Roberts and Jessica Pursell (Grade 8) and Keon

Pavlides (Grade 7). There was a record number of entries this

year and the group was divided to participate in four heats.

Taroona High School took first place in two of those heats, thanks

to Bryher and Jessica. These girls will travel to Launceston to take

part in the state finals on 4 June. We wish them all the best. Keon

received an encouragement award.

Give Me 5 for Kids Fundraising

The Learning Centre is happy to once again be

involved in the Give me 5 For Kids fundraising

appeal. As little as 5c can help change a sick

child’s life. Funds raised will help provide needed

equipment to care for sick children in the

Children’s Ward at the Royal Hobart Hospital.

Please bring in your loose change (any denomination accepted) to

home group each Tuesday in June.

Two years ago we were the Tasmanian Schools winner! Let’s see if

we can do it again!

Barbecue Fundraiser

What’s Happening? A barbecue fundraiser

for the Taroona High School Sailing Team,

competing this year in the Team Sailing Roster

When and Where? Lunchtime 21 June, 2016 outside the Link

Block

Who? The Taroona High School sailing team is made up of Grades

7-10 students: Ezekiel Willmott, Alex Potter, Lovett TaylorSmith,

Timmy Vincent, William Grant, Archie Cameron, Miley Fleming,

Ruby Brookes, Gabby Burke, Elliott Salter and Pallas TaylorSmith.

This year, the team is competing against Kingston High, Friends (10

teams), Hutchins (10 Teams), Fahan, St Virgil’s College, Gilford

Young, St Marys, Tarremah, New Town, Mount Carmel,

Collegiate, Calvin and Ogilvie High.

In 2015, the team competed in the State Championships at the

Sandy Bay Sailing Club, where they finished eighth out of 22 teams.

More recently, they competed at Deviot Sailing Club (April 2016),

finishing 10th out of 14 Teams. They did extremely well against a

very high calibre fleet of world, Australian, AIS and TIS sailors!

Why? In buying a sausage or hamburger at this barbecue, you will

be supporting this talented group of students in their sailing

endeavours. The funds raised will go towards the purchase of

much-needed team sailing bibs to help identify our team members

while racing.

Film News

Many thanks for their time and insights to:

Lewis Farrell, of Walch Optics, who came to our 9/10 Film Class

to provide advice and demonstrate the power, beauty and

possibilities of our DSLR cameras, especially when turning the dial

to M for manual mode. Since then it’s been fantastic to see a

number of students experiment with a whole range of settings in

order to capture some beautiful images.

Blue Rocket, Tasmania’s own world class and award-winning

animation production company, who also gave up much time this

week to guide and chat to a group of our most promising

animators and graphic design artists, along with our Graphic

Design teacher, John Hutchison. Alicia Rackett, Cathy McComb

and Janie Reilly spent the afternoon introducing us to the

production team, and outlining a vast array of processes, software,

and decisions to be made in the production of a major series of

animations. We were all fittingly blown away with the

complexities, skill level, work ethic, and professionalism involved.

Check out their site, Blue Rocket, and this news article last year.

The very welcoming and supportive Vivien Mason and Ben

Stephenson, two professional animators who graciously gave up

a few hours of their precious time to mentor two of our most

talented and hardworking film students, Amara Gantz (9R) and

Avon Blazely (10I). It was a highly inspiring and informative session

and both students came away with renewed sense of enthusiasm

and belief.

Model United Nations Assembly

A few weeks ago, Taroona High

School sent two teams to the

Rotary sponsored Model United

Nations Assembly (MUNA) in

Deloraine. Both teams

performed well, placing amongst

the top in the state, with one

team receiving an honourable

mention.

This annual event sees pairs of

Grade 10 students from all

around the state represent a

country of their choice in a United Nations style debate. The

students are required to wear the national dress of the country

they represent.

There are fifteen resolutions which the students have to address

from the perspective of the country they choose. The content of

these resolutions ranges from endangered animals to nuclear

weapons to refugees.

The first Taroona team was made up of Sophia Hand and Nikki

Hudson representing South Korea, and Clare McVeigh and I made

up the second team, representing North Korea.

Given that the countries we'd chosen were polar opposites, we

had completely different ways of addressing the resolutions.

Speaking from a North Korean perspective, it was really fun to be

able to be completely undiplomatic and go ahead and aggressively

state our opposition to other countries. The heated back and

forth between the USA and North Korea throughout the weekend

was definitely a highlight for me.

While South Korea

weren't as aggressive in

their arguments as their

Northern counterparts,

they were still very

much involved in the

discussion on each

resolution. They

performed extremely

well, which was

reflected in their

receiving an Honourable

Mention.

MUNA was a great weekend, and as we headed back on the four

hour bus ride, I reflected on what a great time we'd all had, and

the fact that the two Taroona teams had made it through the

weekend without restarting the Korean war.

Come and Enjoy Our School Library

This year, we have implemented a number of new initiatives in the

library. Our vision is to provide a stimulating, inviting and

comfortable social space where students can come and interact

with their peers, teachers, magazines, books and learn a range of

new skills.

We are seeing an increased number of students using the library at

lunchtimes. Some come to complete their homework, some come

to get assistance with their school work, some come to read and

some come to have a quiet chat with their friends. We have

allocated specific parts of the library for each type of activity.

Lunchtime Activities/Tutorials For Students

There are daily activities/tutorials run by a group of dedicated and

passionate THS Maths and English teachers who volunteer their

time and provide valuable Maths and writing skills assistance to any

students who would like their help. Students do not need to

book. Please view the lunchtime activities roster and/or contact

scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au for more details.

Responsible Eating of Lunch in the Library

Students can eat their lunch in the library this year (at the grey

tables and not near the computers or the bean bags). We are

currently trialling this initiative and it is going extremely well. Our

students are keeping the library tidy and clean and are placing their

rubbish in the bins provided.

Vibrant, inviting, comfortable “Chill-Out” Zone

We have recently purchased a large television, a number of bean

bags, couches and magazine/book racks for the library. These have

been combined to create a vibrant and comfortable “chill-out”

zone near the back of the library (away from the ‘quiet working

grey tables’ section of the library).

On Thursdays, our Grade 10 Library Monitors, Beth and May, have

been showing ABCTV shows to students at lunchtime in this space

and our teachers can also book it for their classes to visit during

lessons.

Creativity Workshops

Very soon, we will be starting to run Creativity Workshops on

Tuesdays for students to attend and experience together at

lunchtime. Ideas being thrown around at present include Manga

drawing, origami, magic tricks and lateral thinking/problem solving

activities. These activities will vary throughout the year. Our plan is

to ask our students to volunteer their own talents and they can

teach their skills to other students during these sessions.

We Thank You for Your “Ideal Library” Survey Responses Last

Year

Last year, we surveyed our students and parents and asked what

their ‘ideal library’ may look like in the 21st Century. We would

like to thank those who responded to our survey and the

initiatives mentioned above have been implemented as a result of

your responses.

Parents or students that are interested in knowing more about

the library, can contact scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au for

more details.

Senior Concert Band Camp: 1 – 3 May

This year’s Senior Band Camp was an absolute blast! We all learned heaps from our specialist instrumental tutors on Monday, and had

some great rehearsals with good ol’ Glenn Schultz on Tuesday. Also, a huge shout out to all-time legend and absolute shredder on the

guitar, Finn Bacon, who served as a kitchen hand, and to the excellent chef who made sure we were well fed, Steve.

Of course, we had our fair share of fun and games on the camp too. Some after-rehearsal movies and some late-night (8pm) cards against

humanity was a great way to end a day of strenuous playing. To top it all off, the Tuesday night concert was an absolute cracker, and I’m

sure that the audience loved our Blues Brothers warm-up. Thanks to everyone who helped with the camp and to all the teachers who

organised a great camp!

I.C.T. Teaching at Taroona High School 2016

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program: Students in

Grades 7-10 are expected to bring their own device (e.g. Laptop,

iPad, tablet) every day to school fully charged and ready to access

the learning program. Our school is nationally recognised as

having the necessary systems and structures to allow students easy

access to the Internet on their own devices. Our teachers

regularly plan their lessons with ICT resources in mind and the

success of these lessons relies heavily upon students bringing their

devices to class. Please understand that there may

be some days when a student will not be required

to use their device during the school day, but they

are expected to treat it as a part of their everyday

school equipment. To ensure that students benefit

from the BYOD program at THS, we require the

support of our parents in ensuring that students:

Pack their device (laptop, iPad, tablet) in their school

bag/carry case every day;

Charge it up every night;

Ensure the device is always kept in a protective case while in

transit (to/around/from school);

Don’t download too many programs that are large in size (as

this will slow it down);

Seek assistance when they require it.

IT Support for Students at School: The school operates a

student-run IT Help Desk. This year the Help Desk is available to

assist students with their learning devices in C112 at certain times

throughout the week and every lunchtime. Timetables are

positioned in classrooms around the school. We encourage

students to visit the Help Desk when they are experiencing IT

difficulties with their device.

Fronter VLE: Our School’s Virtual Learning Environment:

The school’s Virtual Learning Environment is called “Fronter” and

is found at www.casas.tas.edu.au. Parents and students can log in

with the student’s DoE credentials (username+password). This

system allows teachers to deliver the curriculum electronically and

students can access it and submit school work to their teachers.

Presently our students and staff are learning how to use this new

online learning system. We encourage students and parents to sit

down together and look at Fronter: www.casas.tas.edu.au. A big

thank you to those parents who have looked at Fronter with their

children and for the positive feedback we have received. In

listening to parental feedback, our teachers have been asked to

include assignment due dates on their

Fronter pages. Last year 837 students and

staff logged into Fronter 30,075 times! If

your child is having trouble with accessing

Fronter this year, please notify

scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au and we will aim to resolve

the issue. To give parents and students a better understanding of

Fronter and how it can be used, please take a minute to view this

YouTube film clip:

Connecting Students’ Devices to the

School Internet Connection: Students in all

grades are assisted to connect their devices to

the school’s Internet connection. If your child is

having trouble connecting to the school network

(wireless Internet) at any time throughout the year, please ask

them to visit the student-run IT Help Desk or contact

scott.maccrum@education.tas.gov.au.

Download the “Taroona High” App to

Read the Daily Bulletins, Keep Track of

your Timetable and more! The school App

can be freely downloaded to your iPad, iPhone

or iPod from the ITunes Apple Store

school/id936553095?mt=8 ). This App allows you to keep track of

your timetabled classes, read the school’s Daily Bulletins, read the

canteen menu, view the school’s calendar and many other

wonderful tools. We encourage all students and parents to

download the App today and make use of it this year. After

downloading the App, students log in with their DoE username and

password. Parents can read the school’s calendar and Daily

Bulletins by logging in with username: education\tah.parent

and password: parent2012. This is just another example of how

Taroona High is constantly looking to use ICT to enhance

community relations and support our community.

School’s Cybersafety Program: At Taroona High School, the

teaching staff see the teaching of Cybersafety as an important and

necessary part of the teaching program. Our teaching staff are

constantly reminding students about appropriate and safe usage of

ICT in their daily lives. These ‘respectful, responsible and safe

online usage’ reminders occur in both an informal manner (whilst

working with students in the classroom) and via a structured

Cybersafety program (delivered during Home

Group throughout the year). Each Grade has a

variety of Cybersafety lessons that are delivered to

Home Groups. Parents who are looking for ways

to discuss ‘protecting online reputation’ with their

children, may be interested in this video:

be. Similar films and advice can be viewed on my blog at

http://ictscotty.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Cybersafety%20studen

ts%20parents%20teachers. We would appreciate it if parents

could sit down with their children over the next few weeks and

read through, and reinforce, the school’s ICT Acceptable Use

Agreement found in the school diary.

Microsoft Office365 Now Available to all THS Students

Free! The School continues to lead the way in ICT teaching and

learning. This time, we have made it possible for our students to

download Office365 (and the

Office Suite; Word, PPT, Excel)

to their own devices free of

charge. Most of our Grade 7s

have already downloaded

Office365 and it is now available

to students in all Grades. Any

Grade 7 student who doesn’t yet

have it installed is to let their

Digital Technologies teacher know

ASAP or come to the student IT

Help Desk for assistance. Students

in Grades 8-10 can also visit the IT Help Desk for assistance or

they can watch (and follow) this film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGZQI92LDAU

I look forward to keeping the school community up-to-date with

the latest ICT news and announcements in school newsletters this

year. Please also keep checking our school Facebook page for ICT

tips, ideas and information. If you have any questions or need ICT

assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact
