ISSUE 5
AUGUST
Welcome to the September edition of the Glenala Gazette
One of my favourite shows is the ABC’s Australian
Story viewing on a Monday evening. The show presents
‘unique stories that provide an insight into Australian life
with all its complexities and challenges.’ Last week
Australian Story focused on the extraordinary story
behind one of the founders of the R U OK? Day – Gavin
Larkin. Inspired to make a difference when his father
committed suicide, leaving family and friends in deep grief and with endless questions, advertising
executive Gavin along with Janina Nearn launched the R U OK ? Day in 2009. He had two goals - to
try to protect other families from the pain his family endured and he hoped that a national day of
action would help to prevent suicide.
The show had a profound effect on me, particularly when revealed that while championing a national
campaign to genuinely change behaviour through conversation, Gavin was diagnosed with an
aggressive form of lymphoma and his chances of survival were slim. Shortly after, his 12 year old
son was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Both have since passed away, but Gavin’s passion and
determination have ensured the successful continuation of R U OK? Day scheduled on Thursday, 14
September this year.
Since viewing the episode, I have spent time reading up more on the background, purpose, actions of
the campaign and a few points have really resonated with me.
The brilliance of the simplicity of the campaign. The use of one little but powerful question -
‘ARE YOU OKAY?’ to start a conversation that may assist someone who may be struggling
with life is just inspiring. The campaign provides follow up actions to help in what can be a
difficult conversation to initiate. These actions are:
* Ask the question – R U OK?
* Listen without judgement
* Encourage Action
* Check in
Before the conversation the R U OK? campaign encourages people to do a ‘getting ready to
ask’ check:
* Am I ready?
* Am I prepared?
* Have I picked my moment?

The inspiration that was Gavin Larkin. At the very time when he was at his lowest with his and his son’s
diagnosis he put others first. He said of his family’s situation -
“Throughout the journey, we could be easily be completely justified in being frustrated, despondent
dealing with all this bad news and all of it would be justified except it doesn’t help you on the journey
and if the journey’s all you’ve got, you want to make it a good one.” Total unselfishness!
Despite all the sadness, Gavin Larkin’s family continue involvement in the R U OK? campaign. It goes
from strength to strength.
The wonderful resources available on the website for individuals, couples, families, schools, work places
…… Check it out – www.ruok.org.au
Our wonderful Student Services team organised Glenala SHS’s R U OK? Day on Thursday, 31 August. Our
school community asked the question, learnt more and hopefully felt more comfortable in opening up and
sharing life’s difficulties. Students and staff were presented with the card displayed below, to assist in starting
this important conversation. Staff dressed in the theme of Pirates to emphasise the important question,
“RRRRR U OK”. Local agencies that can assist are all listed on the card below.
We have had a very busy but productive Term 3. My thanks to all the school community for your ongoing
commitment, encouragement and support of Glenala State High School.
Enjoy this edition of the Glenala Gazette.
Best wishes for a wonderful Spring break.

News From Junior Secondary
It has been another busy yet fruitful term in Junior Secondary:
Year 6 Primary school visits by our feeder Primary Schools are held each
Wednesday afternoon. Each Primary feeder school has the opportunity to
visit our school and work through activities in a different department
during each visit. This assists students to become more familiar with the
high school environment, and aids with the transition from Primary school
to High School. So far, the feedback from Primary schools has been very
positive, with students having wonderful experiences. We are looking
forward to these students joining the Glenala SHS community in Year 7
2018.
Our Year 5 Science Gala Day was held on Wednesday 9th August, 2017.
Five teams of six people each competed from our surrounding Primary
Schools of Durack SS, Richlands East SS, Inala SS, Pallara SS and
Serviceton South SS. It was a tough and fiercely fought battle, and teams
had the opportunity to compete in catapult making, the famous “egg”
parachute drop, and a series of round robin activities. We are pleased to
announce that Inala SS and Durack SS tied in first place! They will be
presented with a trophy at their next school assembly. We are very proud of
their wonderful achievements. Each student was presented with a
certificate of participation.
As part of Science Week, our wonderful Science Head of Department,
Ms Gantimuroff, Science teacher Ms Malcolm and some of our senior
science students visited Serviceton South SS and ran a series of
activities. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day, and Year 4 and 5 students
were able to experience activities such as “Elephant’s toothpaste”,
“floating Octopus”, “hole-y-potato”, hovercraft, pop rocket and
circuits. There appeared to be many budding scientists in the making,
and it was wonderful to see smiles on so many faces. Ms Gantimuroff
also finished off the day in spectacular style, with a special experiment which elicited a number of
impressed gasps from the students!

NAPLAN Results: Junior Secondary Parents
Recently you would have receive your students 2017 NAPLAN results report. These are National Literacy and
Numeracy tests that occur in May of each year, assessing the students Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar and
Punctuation and Numeracy skills and how they performed at the time of the test.
Please keep in mind that this is just one assessment and does not replace the numerous other methods Glenala
has of collecting data about student progress in a variety of areas.
The following are some key achievements for Glenala’s results at the Whole School level for 2017 NAPLAN:
Year 7 Year 9
Spelling: 93% of students at NMS (National
Minimum Standard) and 32% U2B (Upper 2
Bands): Above State School Average.
Reading: A positive gain of 94.4%
Numeracy: 93.9% at NMS and 13% U2B
Spelling: 87.2% of students at NMS and 21.3%
U2B: Above State Schools Average. Best result in 10
years.
Grammar and Punctuation: 14.5% U2B (highest
since NAPLAN began 10 years ago)
Numeracy: 94% at NMS- similar to State Average
What will the school continue to focus on for ALL students?
A continued focus on Literacy as a school priority: in particular Reading and Writing.
Teachers will continue to embed the Before, During and After Approach to reading in their subjects and
empower students with reading strategies.
A whole school focus on Writing and developing and expressing ideas in written texts, including
participation in Third Quart Counts Year 9 Writing Trial 2018.
A focus on the Upper 2 Bands in the Numeracy cohort.
How can you help at home?
Encourage your student to complete their homework and produce written work.
Encourage reading for enjoyment. By reading, students will improve their vocabulary and generation of
ideas. This will help with their writing and open their imagination up to the world.
Encourage your student to read aloud to you. Whether it is an article on Facebook, news article or plot of a
movie you are going to see, have them read it out loud to you!
Facilitate your student attending Homework Club: Wednesday and Thursday afternoons 3:10pm-4:15pm
(please see Ms Kingham in the Library for a permission slip).
If you would like any assistance in the explanation of your student’s results, or the strategies mentioned in this
letter, your student’s teachers, in particular their Mathematics and English teachers, will be able to assist in any
questions you have.
Thank you for your continued support.

Our Indigenous Science Unit – Throw it Far successfully
showed students how Aboriginal people were able to design
and build instruments with a specific purpose. Here are some of
our Year 7 Science students looking at traditional spears and
woomeras.
Thanks to Vanessa Kerley, Teacher Librarian, at
Dandiiri Schools and Community Library in Inala
– it’s great to have such a wonderful local
resource.
Science week literally went off with a bang. Mrs Gantimuroff
demonstrated how to ‘blow things up’ in Science. Her demonstration of
‘Elephant’s Toothpaste’ had lots of wows and cheers coming from the
audience. Students were excited to get involved with all the activities
throughout the week. Here are just some of them: building catapults
with only skewers and marshmallows, Spaghetti Towers
…and of course, dropping Humpty Dumpty safely to the ground.
Checking by the official judge – yes, we have a winner!
Thank you to all who were involved

Multicultural Celebrations
Our much anticipated multi-cultural
concerts were held in Week 6 this
term. Students embraced the traditions
of the many cultures that we have

was enjoyed by many staff, students
and wider community members with
two afternoon performances for the

Project Love & Care
SRC students, together with some of their friends, have been dedicating their Lunch breaks to make bracelets,

Project Love and Care is run by our own local elder, Anne George, who makes kits for Homeless as well as
Foster care kids of all ages. This organisation takes simple items such as books, bracelets and hair ties, covered
and created by volunteers, and creates ‘care packs’ to donate to foster children and Homeless. During her
presentation, Anne explained that “while the object may only be a book, it can provide in many ways”.
