PPHS Student Leaders Shape the Future

This year's leadership camp taught us a lifelong moral, which was to STAND UP. We learnt to stand up for what we believed in and for what was right. With this in mind, we have started the school newspaper as a voice for our student body. Leadership Camp taught us that standing up for yourself and for your team was not always easy. Some people might see standing up for yourself as being aggressive, but we learnt that it is more about being assertive, staying calm and communicating clearly. Groups were able to use and strengthen their strong and weaker skills. We saw the value of teamwork in accomplishing goals – from the Giant Swing to the Treetops, no person could finish their task if working alone. At leadership camp we young, aspiring leaders were able to experience bush walks and a series of activities which unleashed our leadership skills and put them into action. The Giant Swing might seem like an individual activity, but it is the team work that ensures you can accomplish your goal.

Welcome to the first issue of The Picnic Post!

Our theme for this issue is STAND UP. Read on to hear about how the students of PPHS are STANDING UP in our community. Our newspaper is designed and written by students of PPHS, created FOR students.

Using the skills we have developed at Leadership Camp, the Leadership Team has plans to continue on STANDING UP for the environment and implementing strategies that minimise litter. We supported each other in pushing outside of our comfort zones and taking risks. We thank our outgoing Year 11 leaders who have started our campaign against litter in the school. Our brainstorm at Leadership Camp lead to ideas about more recycling bins and school rubbish challenges. Stay tuned as these ideas develop into ways for you to get involved. The Leadership Team are here to STAND UP for YOU, the students and the school community. We can only accomplish our goals through having the full support of all students at Picnic Point High School. Two ways you can stand up for the cleanliness of our school are:

- Place appropriate rubbish into the according bins.

- Use reusable containers as opposed to single use plastic.

Teachers Find Their Treasure during Book Week 2018

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to lose your freedom and your family? Hide and seek may have seemed like a fun game to you as a kid, but imagine if your life depended on hiding away from your hunters. On the 24th of August, Year 10 went on a full-day excursion to the Sydney Jewish Museum in Darlinghurst and had the experience of hearing from Holocast survivors who were denied their freedom and basic human rights during World War Two. Francine’s Holocaust experience began in 1942, when she was four years old. She was living in Belgium with her parents and her older brother when the Nazis invaded Belgium and systematically put Jewish people into concentration camps. Francine’s parents knew this was a death sentence for them as Jews, so they left Francine in the care of strangers who were willing to cover up the fact she was Jewish. The people who took her in fed her and cared for her until the day when the Gestapo (Nazi Secret Police) came. Francine was hurriedly moved to hide in a haystack with the other women. The haystack saved her life, but it did not protect her from injury. In their searching, the Gestapo put their pitchfork through the haystack, piercing the skin behind Francine’s ear. She did not scream, even though the pain was blinding. Francine still has the scar. By a sheer stroke of luck, as the Gestapo pulled his pitchfork out of the haystack, the blood was wiped off by the hay. After the Gestapo left, Francine came out of hiding and found the men of the farm missing, presumably dead. The responsibility of looking after Francine and having to maintain the farm was too much for the women, so she was sent back to her family. Francine and her family moved constantly, avoiding discovery. Unfortunately, Francine’s father was caught in 1944 and sent to Auschwitz, where he was killed. At one point after her father’s death, her mother attempted to remarry, but was rejected, as the man did not want to take on the responsibility of her children, so she made the decision to send Francine to foster care. She was very defiant and troublesome and was passed on multiple times. She began school at the age of eight and moved back in with her mother after she remarried in 1948. Her half-sister was born, and Francine took responsibility of her at eleven. In 1959, Francine moved to Australia with her family and recalled the beauty of the harbour as she came in by ship. We were very moved by Francine’s story and shocked to discover that genocide still exists today. Read more about it on page 3.

By Victoria Sakis Unfortunately, there are still genocides that are transpiring today, despite the strange silence regarding these major issues and violations of human rights. The term “genocide” refers to the systematic killing and extermination of one specific group, regarding race, nation, religion or other external factors. The Rohingya people of Myanmar have been persecuted for centuries and we are now starting to see the impact. The Rohingya fled Myanmar, after soldiers, supported by local Buddhist mobs attacked the ethnic minority, burning their homes and villages as well as by killing and attacking civilians. Only one month after the violence broke out, 6,700 Rohingya were killed, approximately 730 of these were children under the age of five. The United Nations has recognised the act as a “genocide” as well as an “ethnic cleansing” of which the Myanmar government continues to deny. The UN has also stated that the Rohingya’s position as “the world’s fastest-growing refugee crisis”. Genocide in the modern world remains to exist. However, the United Nations is committed to working towards sanctions with Myanmar, to prevent the violence and murder of the Rohingya People.

After six long years of a mixture of hard work, fun and socialising, the year twelves are finally coming to the end of their high school journey. Along the way, they have acquired a lot of advice to help them through, and now, they are ready to pass it onto us so we can take it into our stride and better ourselves as students!

Growth Mindset for Teenage Success Brains are like muscles. Science has proven that brains can grow stronger if we practise and train our brains. A Growth Mindset is where a person’s self-belief is centred around the notion that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work, through a learn at all costs attitude. Success is seen to be due to 35% Ability and 65% Effort. A Fixed Mindset is where people believe traits such as intelligence or talent are fixed traits, set at birth. A person with a fixed mindset lets failure or success define them. Success is due to 65% ability and 35% effort.

So...how do YOU develop a Growth Mindset? Try practising these habits:

Reading Recommendations – Fantastic Beasts: And Where To Find Them By J.K. Rowling

By Willie Sakis Fantastic Beasts: And Where To Find Them is a must read for Harry Potter and fantasy fiction fans. In fact, it’s a must read for everyone. Written in the format of a screenplay, readers will recognise many elements of J.K. Rowling who we all know has written the prolific Harry Potter series. The story begins with many newspapers about Gellert Grindelwald, the villain, and we begin to find out what his next evil move might be. The main plot is based around Newt Scamander, a wizard who arrives in New York with a magical briefcase full of magical creatures. Of course the creatures break out of Newt’s briefcase and we meet Jacob Kowalski, a baker and Tina and Queenie Goldstein who are witches. The excitement peaks when we encounter the main complication which sees the witches and wizards contract a disease called Obscures, exposing all of their magical powers. Newt and the others work to fight the disease and control its spread through New York City. Harry Potter fans will recognise the many connections to past texts, including Newt attending Hogwarts and being put into Hufflepuff House. I enjoyed the way that the screenplay still felt like a narrative, even though the structure was a bit different. The author, J. K. Rowling, plans to make many more books in this series and I’m sure she hopes they will be as successful as the Harry Potter books and movies. I recommend this book to people who enjoy Harry Potter and are looking for more to read or even readers who enjoy the fantasy genre and creative writing. Overall, the author has used creativity to make it different to other books and a unique read. I rate this book 4.5/5.

Females are increasingly participating in sports that have traditionally been male dominated such as Rugby League, Rugby Union, Touch Football and Oz Tag. PPHS has a number of high achieving female sportspeople including Hana Herlihy. Hana of Year Twelve is a Rugby League player who currently represents the Under 18´s Saint George Rugby League team.

Throughout her career, Hana has experienced many challenges along the way including the unjust treatment from clubs with them supporting the male teams more than the female teams.

“The challenging thing is the support the club gives to us girls.” says Hana, reflecting on the difference between being a male rugby league player and being a female rugby league player. “I usually find most clubs give the girls left overs and not as much funding as the boys.”

Conic is a recently launched sporting goods company promoting female sport.

“There is such a vast difference between men and women in sport and we want to bridge that gap. From the variety of sports to equipment and clothing ranges, to pay and endorsement opportunities. For so long, women have been on an uneven playing field,” said Nicole Bailey, the founder of Conic.

Females even up the sporting playing field! By Danielle Zidan

Nicole believes girls should have no boundaries when it comes to sport. She encourages her daughter to try everything as there is zero to lose and so much to gain. Conic’s eventual goal is to provide sponsorships to girls and assist them in fulfiling their sporting dreams. Hana’s sporting goal is to one day play for the Jillaroos, the Australian women’s rubgy league team. Her advice to other females trying to break into the sporting world is to grab a few friends and give it a go.

Many of us teenagers think that we can’t be involved in politics until we are 18 when we can legally vote. But that’s not true! If you have something you are passionate about, read on for ways that you can engage with politics to make your voice heard.

Australian youth governance body‚ ’Youth Action’ have recently submitted a proposal to lower the voting age, stating “A society where young people are empowered to make political decisions, and in consequence, where political parties are dedicated to making the best policies for young people will benefit society and ensure a positive future for Australia as a whole.” This shows us that Australians believe teenagers have a voice that should be heard.

While we can’t yet vote, it’s really important to be informed about political changes so we can make an informed decision when the time comes.

For further information about Youth Action, check out http://www.youthaction.org.au/.

Introducing our new Prime Minister.

On the 24th of August 2018, Australia went through a political change that, over the past few years, has become altogether too familiar. A new prime minister was sworn in, the Honourable Scott Morrison who belongs to the Liberal Party and until most recently, held the post of Treasurer.

Though new to the title of Prime Minister, he has been in parliament for over ten years, originally having been elected as the Federal Member for Cook back in 2007. Since then he has been the Minister for Social Services, Minister for Border Protection, Australian Treasurer and now Prime Minister.

Ironically, coming from someone who is now considered Australia’s ‘accidental prime minister’, his promise to the nation as the new head was stability after ten years of that being nonexistent.

“Our job...as we take forward this mantle of leadership as a new generation, is to ensure that we not only bring our party back together, which has been bruised and battered this week, but that… we bring the parliament back together,” said Scott Morrison in his first public appearance after the victory.

Many view this new political change as a way to finally end the decade of ‘revolving door’ leadership that the country has, unfortunately, become accustomed to.

Picnic Point’s Archibull Project

A life-sized sculpture of a bull might seem a strange thing to be seen around PPHS. But for students in 7E, it made perfect sense as they collaboratively participated in the Archie Bull. This is a project where students research different aspects of agriculture. At the completion of the project, each school presents a bull representing the designated industry. Schools also have a blog, showing what they have done throughout the whole project. Our students chose to create an animation to show our understanding of the wool industry. 7E students had many challenging and fulfilling opportunities, drawing on their skills in creativity, research and working together as a team. “I’ve done animation before but this was more difficult as there was more content to be animated and had to pay close attention to detail… it was a challenge” says Geddy Mukama, a member of the animation team that worked to create an animation informing the school about the wool industry, as a whole. Phoebe Miller was involved in the painting of the bull. “The hardest thing was waiting for the paint to dry… I think the project was important for our teamwork”, says Phoebe. Beau Lucas felt the most important part about the project was its ability to get everyone working as a team. “We got to know all of our classmates and their strengths and what they were good at”. “They grew immensely but there were many long tiring days and the middle part was quite tedious which could be something we may need to improve on next time, however it was more valuable than it was negative”.

The Archie Bull focused on climate change and the effect that it is having on farmers. With the recent drought, farmers would have to find different ways to keep their crops well. Biosecurity was also involved and that meant farmers would have to keep their farms away from diseases and other animals. Sam Wang, Picnic Point’s young champion farmer came to see 7E and told the class about her experiences as a wool auctioneer. Ms. Byron, PPHS Principal, thought that this project was an “amazing opportunity for our students to be involved in an authentic learning-based activity and work on the soft skills that are needed in life such as: analytical thinking, teamwork, problem-solving and curiosity”. Accoring to Ms Gourlay, the “project was a really exciting and inspiring and the students found their own motivations for what to do and took ownership of the project, working as a team”.

7E students have worked really hard in this project and the hard

work paid off as they are a finalist in the Archibull Prize.

PPHS Common Values in Action

Every issue of The Picnic Post will explore the many ways that PPHS students are contributing to bettering our local community. This issue we meet Mustafa Syed, our School Vice Captain and 2019 HSC Student. At only 16 years of age, Mustafa has been awarded, the Canterbury Bankstown Youth Award for Leadership. Apart from being an active school leader, Mustafa has been recognised for his volunteer work at a local community centre, assisting with the running of events, maintenance of the bulding, working at the canteen and mentoring younger people. Mustafa achieves this all while also studying hard for his HSC. “I work at the community centre because I know the funding is very low and I believe it is a vital service for the community, to support people who don’t have the support networks that I have”, says Mustafa when asked about his motivation. While Mustafa was proud to receive the award, he said that the most valuable part of the process was meeting other inspiring young people. “One young man was completely responsible for his very ill mother and younger siblings. He was meeting with doctors while also studying for his HSC. After hearing his story, I thought I had no chance of winning and was so happy to see this amazing young person given an all-rounder award. ” When asked about his most important advice for the students of PPHS, Mustafa said to “remember there is always another way to achieve your goals, keep trying to find a different way when you get stuck.” Mustafa has been recognised for taking our Common Values Model into the local community, being a positive Ambassador for our school in the wider community. After winning the award, Mustafa was offered a post-HSC position as a paralegal and is well on the way to pursuing his career goal of becoming a Judge in the Federal Court.
