Melanie’s Thoughts

School Vision

At the beginning of the year it is always important to review our school vision and focus and make plans to ensure we are achieving our purpose. Our vision is: Tooleybuc Central School is committed to creating resilient learners who are supported to achieve their personal best. Teachers at Tooleybuc Central School are future focused, using innovative and collaborative practices, in an environment where every student is known and cared for, allowing them to connect, succeed and thrive. And our strategic directions as part of our school plan are:

Strategic Direction 1 – A culture of learning - To create highly motivated and successful learners who are empowered to become confident and creative citizens that are committed to lifelong learning, allowing them to achieve their personal best. Strategic Direction 2 – Excellence in Teaching - For teachers to have a shared responsibility for student improvement, through explicit processes for collaboration to drive the implementation of evidence based pedagogy across the school, utilising visible learning practices. Strategic Direction 3 – Connect, Succeed and Thrive - For the school to develop quality relationships with all stakeholders, supporting students to become resilient learners striving to achieve their personal best. And while this may seem like a lot of jargon, this underpins our focus across the school, specifically the professional learning that teachers undertake and the activities that we provide to support our students’ learning across the school.

Learning

We have had a wonderful start to the school year with great routines being established. Students are busy talking about their learning goals and their strategies to achieve them. Over the last week I have seen students working diligently on their wood work projects, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, playing a wide range of maths games and generally just doing the right things and focusing on achieving their personal best. Take the time to ask your child about their learning goals and what they have learnt so far this year. You will be surprised at how articulately they can discuss their progress. To support our students in the classroom, it is important that students are following up this hard work up at home by completing their readers, home learning and revision tasks. New Diaries/Home Reading Books

You will have noticed that this year we have changed the style of our Home Reading Books and Diaries. This year they have a strong focus on student wellbeing and a range of other areas. Students are able to do the colouring in and work through the activities for the week. There are some great ideas and conversation starters to support student learning. Elevate Education

Last week Elevate Education worked with our students about developing study skills and support students with their learning. These sessions were tailored to the stage students were at in their learning and what they had seen before. The sessions were: Year 7 – Study Skills Kick Start Year 8/9 – Junior Time Management Year 10 – Study Sensei Year 11/12 – Time Management The feedback from our students was extremely positive and we are hoping they will use these strategies to support their learning.

Primary News Mrs Frost (Assistant Principal) We have continued to have a smooth start to the year with many learning opportunities on offer for both staff and students. The Primary Swimming Team has been excited about representing the school in the lead up to today's PSSA carnival in Swan Hill. It is great to see so many students excited to get in and have a go. I was fortunate enough to attend a Writing professional development course with all of the primary staff last week. ‘Big Write’ will provide us with some over arching ideas to provide consistency in the way we approach the teaching of writing across the school. It also provides us with a base of exciting games to play in the class. I'm sure in the coming weeks you will hear all about ‘Kung Fu Punctuation’ as the students start to learn about some of these games in class. Next Tuesday we will have our Primary Assembly. In addition to celebrating all the wonderful things our students have achieved so far this term we are inviting you back to the classroom to share in some numeracy and literacy fun and games with your students. Looking forward to seeing you all them,

Year 5/6 Mrs Frost (Class Teacher)

Swimming Recount Wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round all the way to Nyah Swimming Pool. On 14th February 2019 Tooleybuc Central School student went to the Annual Swimming Carnival to compete for the next stage. When we got to the pool we did our team chant and then I marshalled for our first race, Freestyle. Jayla came 1st, I came 2nd and Hannah came 3rd. After that we got a break. We did breast stroke, freestyle, back stroke, butterfly and the medley. All the same places, Jayla came 1st, I came 2nd and Hannah came 3rd. Then we had our relay. Murray won and then we had a Sausage Sizzle and Wakool won overall. By Kayla Swimming Recount On the 14th of February Tooleybuc Central School had a Swimming Carnival at the Nyah Pool. After

lunch we went on the bus to the pool and we got started and there were two houses Murray and Wakool. Wakool won the carnival and I went in backstroke, freestyle and I forgot the rest of the races I went in. Oh well we will win next year. By Brayden Swimming Recount There were two teams Murray and Wakool, who were swimming on Thursday, at the Nyah Swimming Pool, because we wanted to have fun and to have a competition. First when we got there we set up, and then we started to swim. During that time we were doing races, the two houses swam in the following events, freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and relays. After all that I had KFC for dinner (tea). By Connor Swimming Recount Ding, ding, the bell went for the end of lunch. Year 2-12 are going to the Swimming Carnival at the Nyah West Pool to qualify for Zone. Today is Valentine’s Day. We all ran to the bus. I sat next to Isabella. When we arrived we marshalled for the first race we did freestyle then backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, medley and the relay. We won, the score was Wakool coming out on top by 60 points but Murray will come back next year. I tried my best. By Hannah. Swimming Recount The day started off at the Nyah pool on the 14th February 2019. The tension was so thick and filled with suspense, no one could tell who was going to win. We arrived in a bus and got ready straight away. The first race was freestyle and so on. We continued racing for the remainder of the day. During our break we organised the relay. After the relay Murray came out on top in Junior Primary and Senior Primary relays. I’m not sure about the Secondary are though. The overall placement was Wakool coming out on top, but Murray will come back next year and win it (mostly because they have too). By Murdoch

Secondary News Head Teachers Report Jean Duma (Head Teacher) Last week our Secondary students participated in Elevate Study Skills sessions. The feedback from students was very positive, and I encourage students to utilise the skills they were taught to assist them in study and assessment task preparation. A key message was using effective time management strategies and organisation and planning skills. Students are encouraged to use their diaries to assist them with tracking homework and assessment due dates.

Sport Congratulations to the seven students who represented Tooleybuc at the Western Riverina Zone Swimming Carnival last Wednesday. From this carnival we have three students who will be representing us at the Riverina Secondary Swimming Carnival this coming Monday. Friday 8th March our Open Boys and Girls Basketball teams will be competing at Deniliquin against the 6 other schools in our Zone. Our Boys Open Cricket side will also be competing against Baranald in the Central Schools Cricket Knockout Competition in the next few weeks. Good luck to all our competitors in these events and an enormous thanks to our dedicated teaching staff who will be training and taking the teams away - Mr Nelson & Ms Wait (Basketball) and Mr McCarron (Cricket).

TAS Mark Nelson (Year 7 TAS Teacher) The Year 7 group is off to a flying start making their aprons. Student have made patterns and cut out the material. They are just getting the seams folded ready for sewing. They will use excess material to make the ties and neck strap. The apron will be important later on in the year in other TAS classes.

David McCarron (Year 8-12 TAS Teacher) Year 8 Technology Mandatory - students are well on the way to completing their children's puzzles. An accompanying portfolio will need to be completed in the coming weeks prior to students changing to a new project area.

Year 9 Wood have finished their boot jacks. These will be marked next week and put on display prior to students taking them home. Students have now started their second project which is a tool caddy.

Year 10 Wood have just about completed their tissue cover boxes. These will also be marked in the near future prior to display. Students will start on their next project - hopefully next week. Year 9-10 Agriculture have finished learning about

soils and are now looking at climate and its affect on agricultural production. Students have also been completing practical activities including the refurbishing of the hot house and green house. Students have also been monitoring lamb weights in preparation for upcoming sales.

Year 11 Primary Industries - have all but completed their assessment for tractor and machinery operations, which included looking at biosecurity and machinery decontamination. Students will be moving onto conventional fencing and electric fencing units. They have also been issued with learning guides for workplace communications and work in industry. It is important that all students make a concerted effort to work on these materials at home as they will not have sufficient class time to complete prior to assessment.

Students also have their first mandatory Work Placement coming up in Week 8 and need to make sure the collect necessary work for all subjects in advance.

Welcome! We hope you had a restful break and are ready to embrace a challenging new year ahead. We look forward to keeping you informed to help you build a sustainable career. In conjunction with our newsletter, it is important to have good communication and team-work skills to attend various Career Expos, Open Days, information sessions and career seminars. It has been reported that those students who undertake research on potential career options throughout their secondary years and who also remain flexible, are able to make more informed decisions. So while you’re enjoying your studies this year, be sure to stay updated, it may help you when it’s decision making time.

Preparing for the Year 11 to Year 12 Transition

While some students find the transition to Year 12 from Year 11 easy, others find the increased workload and expectations quite overwhelming. Regardless whether students are prepared or not, many students look back and wish they had done things differently. Rowan Kunz (Founder and CEO of Art of Smart Education) interviewed some Year 12 students who have been through the transition and this is some of the advice they shared: Start study notes from Week 1 and revise them. This is the most common piece of advice! Good study notes are an important tool for memorising VCE content, revising for assessments and preparing for exams. Many students leave study notes to the last minute and try to complete them at the end of the term, or worse just before an exam. An easier and more productive alternative is to work on study notes as the term progresses. So at the end of each week, add to your study notes starting in Week 1. If you haven’t started yet, start now. You may spend 2 or 3 hours each week working on study notes for VCE subjects, but it will involve a lot less cramming and overall stress. The key is to then regularly revise these notes as this will help with exam preparation. Remember, it is much easier to memorise and understand content that you’ve seen 10 times before the exam, rather than what you’ve re-read once before. Keep a study schedule and organised timetable. It’s easy for students and parents to get overwhelmed during the transition from Year 11 to Year 12 as many students have a very busy schedule in Year 12 with school, study, extra-curricular activities and social events. The easiest way to stay organised is to design a study schedule. This is where you grab your weekly timetable and write down everything you’ve got scheduled regularly throughout the week including school and extra-curricular activities. Then organise time for study around regular activities and make it a non-negotiable part of the week. If you go to basketball training every Wednesday night as a non-negotiable activity, make studying on a Thursday evening a non-negotiable activity as well. Start major assignments as early as possible. Most students are made aware when they have a major assignment or a performance coming up in their VCE year. Students who have completed major assignments say the same thing - start as early as possible. This doesn’t mean finishing your assignment before the teacher has brought it up in class, but thinking about ideas you can take to your teacher to discuss, research, and start developing the

Term 1 – Week 3 Friday 1

st March 2019

early stages of your assignment. This will set you off on the right foot from the very beginning and prevent the panic and stress that comes from completing your work at the last minute before you need to submit it. Good luck! News & Updates Year 11 Students: Swinburne Early Learners Program If you’re in Year 11 this year and keen to prepare for your transition into university and be recognised for your extra-curricular activities, then continue reading! The Swinburne Early Leaders Program is made up of one core certificate and three elective certificates. The core certificate is a research/academic certificate which encourages you to self-reflect on how prepared you are for future study and also helps with developing strategies for future academic programs. The three electives to choose from are; ‘Creativity’, ‘Community Engagement’ and ‘Career Development’. This program is designed to help you build your life skills and confidence, increase your employability and gain recognition for future study options. Activities are offered on campus, but you can also complete the entire program online if preferred. You can also complete the program at your own pace throughout the year as long as you finish it by the early October deadline. In addition, students who successfully complete the ‘Early Leaders Program’ will receive additional aggregate points towards their ATAR when they apply to study at Swinburne. To register your interest, complete the form online at https://www.swinburne.edu.au/study/options/other-programs/early-leaders-program/ . But be sure to do this as soon as possible as the program starts in late February. Got questions? You can email them across to earlyleader@swinburne.edu.au. Good luck!

Career Focus - Architect

Architects use creativity and practical understanding of structures and materials to develop concepts, plans, specifications and detailed drawings for buildings and other structures. They negotiate with builders and planning authorities, administer building contracts and inspect work that has been carried out.

As an architect, it is helpful to be creative, have an aptitude for design, be able to analyse problems logically and have good communication skills

Architects are responsible for:

Meeting with clients or builders to discuss their requirements and prepare a design brief.

Preparing sketches, production drawings and detailed drawings by hand or using computer-aided design (CAD) software.

Combining structural, mechanical and artistic elements into a builder’s design, such as decks, atriums, lifts, air conditioning systems and decorative finishes

Discussing designs and cost estimates with clients and others involved in the project.

Obtaining necessary approvals from authorities.

Term 1 – Week 3 Friday 1

st March 2019

Preparing specifications and contract documents for builders, tradespeople and legal advisers.

Evaluating projects once they are completed and occupied.

Architects may also be involved in project feasibility studies, strategic asset investigations, heritage studies, urban planning, interior design or landscape design. Architects often specialize in particular types of work, such as domestic, low-rise commercial, high-rise commercial, industrial, conservation and heritage buildings. Architects need to keep up with changing trends in the construction industry and the community. They have considerable contact with the public.

To become qualified as an Architect, you will have to complete an accredited degree in architecture. This usually consists of a degree in arts or design with a major in architecture, followed by a Master of Architecture. To gain entry into degree courses, you usually need to have completed your VCE and prerequisite subjects in one or more of English and Mathematics are normally required. Applicants may also be required to demonstrate basic freehand drawing ability and computer skills. For information on bachelor degrees and postgraduate courses please contact your preferred institutions for further information.

Following training, Architects are required to register with the Architects Registration Board in the relevant state or territory in which they intend to practice. So to apply for registration, you must first complete your accredited architecture degree and have two years of monitored experience with an architectural firm. Then you sit an examination in an architectural practice set by the Architects Accreditation of Australia (ACAA).

Once qualified, most architects work in firms or for businesses that have large construction programs. Many start their own practice after a few years of experience. As architectural training develops the ability to combine art, science and technology, many architects increasingly find work in areas outside of architecture, such as urban planning and design, property development, construction management, interior design, industrial design, teaching, research and journalism.

MOTORCROSS FUNDRAISING

WANTED FLAGGIES Hi everyone welcome back to the 2019 school year. As next year is the major excursion year, this year will become the major year for fundraising. Any money made will help reduce the costs of the camps making it affordable for all families.

Over the last couple of years we have been flagging at Balaranld Motorcross, this has become a major fundraising opportunity with $500.00 being made each time we flag! So I am asking for volunteers. We need 8 volunteers for each day we flag. Those students who are 16 are welcome to help too. Please see below a list of dates:

Rd 1 Sat 16th March Rd 2 Sat 18th May Rd 3 Sun 19th May Rd 4 Sun 21st July Rd 5 Sun 11th August Rd 6 22nd September

Any enquires on whats involved please contact Cindy Funnell on 0429201397. If available to help please contact Mereeka Andrews on 0428292906

Thanking you all.😊
