Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome back from what I hope, was a great break with family and friends. All students and staff have returned refreshed and
rejuvenated with big smiles. Term 3 always presents a busy term with Year 12 completing the last full term of their secondary
education, Foundation and Year 7 transition programs will commence, whilst other year groups will begin new units of work or
new subjects with the semester 2 timetable changes. It is hard to believe we are in the second half of the year already!
This term, in a little over two weeks, Mrs Jose Miller and Mrs Sarah Klippel will be taking the Year 9/10 Indonesian students on
their Indonesian trip. These immersion experiences impact students greatly, creating lifelong memories and strong cultural
education. Thank you to both Mrs Miller and Mrs Klippel for making this experiences happen - how lucky we are to have such
opportunity.
Today the Year 4-6s have the Winter Sports Carnival in Wodonga, including soccer, netball, and football. We wish all students
the best of luck. Whilst three students; Hayley Whitsed, Zac Whitsed and Jess Damm ran in the SSV State Cross Country on
Thursday. The three of them did an absolutely awesome job with final results; Hayley - 19th, Jess - 76th and Zac - 47th. Well
done to them all, what champs!
Don’t forget the hospitality students are running a High Tea, Sunday 29th July at 10am and 1pm. Please make bookings via the
front office. Write August 3rd in your diary, for Year 5/6 students will be presenting the film Plastic Ocean to the college
community. This is in their efforts to raise awareness of the detrimental effect of waste on the environment. Please come and
support them in their endeavours as they are working so hard to create greater awareness for our environmental concerns.
Year 2 show their passion of writing to East Timor students
Ms Leitch has delivered a brilliant experience for both, a very grateful class of East Timor students and our Year 2 students in
writing and sharing creative stories. Ms Leitch explains: Last term Grade 2 created stories that had to include a problematic
event/occurrence and then a solution to learn how to engage their readers. They had to plan, draft, edit, publish and illustrate
their stories which were individually bound. At the same time the students were developing gratitude and empathy by learning a
little bit about daily life for students in East Timor.
Our finished books were then sent with a teacher
group visiting East Timor. The books were delivered
to the English Club of Fatuquero School in Gleno, a
hilly and remote area of inland East Timor. The
students were delighted to receive the books as the
school does not have many resources such as books in
English.
A big thank you goes out to our Year 2 students and
Ms Leitch for facilitating such a great project.
The Big Freeze - A great day for MND by all!
The last day of term 2 saw the Big Freeze take place with students and staff taking the plunge in a freezing ice pool. A big thank
you to all the students and staff that were involved; Mrs Marshall, Mrs Scott, Ms Austin, Ms Kovacic, Mr Sinclair, Mr Heycox,
Georgia Bandy, Tom Ross, Brawley Foxcroft, Mitchell Grogan, Mitchell McColl, Lacey Middleton, Kasey Harrison, Hannah
McCullum, Tom Sheather, and Charlie McKimmie. Just in the Big Freeze Beanies (which are now a part of the official winter
school uniform) students made $1600 and $1200 in donations, a total of $2800. Well done to all staff and students that made this
such a great day of awareness and fundraising for MND. A big thank you to Mildren & Coysh and Smith’s Ice for the donation of
95 bags of ice. Have a look at our College Facebook page for some great photos and videos. I have to apologise for the error in
the last KIT as I had stated it was Neale Daniher that presented. This was Heidi Hodge. Heidi was brilliant for our students in her
heartfelt presentation. I apologise for this mistake and thank Heidi for her brave delivery to our college.
Week 1, term 2 an inspirational week for Year 11 & 12 - more news to come...
This week has been an inspirational week for our Year 11 & 12 students as they were introduced to Australian Adventurer Tim
Cope. Tim Cope delivered his story of riding on horseback with his canine companion - Tigon, from Mongolia to Hungary over
a 3 year period (2004-2007), approximately 10,000km. Whilst our VCAL students met with music artists and were inspired to
create their own musical recordings. If you are in contact with Year 11 & 12 be sure to ask them of these amazing experiences
they’ve had this week. A student write up of their own newsletter reports will be presented in next week’s KIT.
There are many events this term. Please keep an eye on the calendar and read all notes sent home. Thank you.
Wishing you all a great term ahead.
