Resilience Optimism Courage Knowledge
Newsletter Issue 3, Term 2 2018
From our Acting Principal, Ms Lesley Holliday Thank you to the parents and students who attended the Report Collection and Interview
night. We really appreciate your ongoing commitment and involvement in your child’s
learning and willingness to work in partnership with us to support both the academic and
wellbeing of our students. If you have concerns regarding your child’s progress then we
encourage you to make contact with specific subject teachers via email, DayMap or the
phone.
Please be aware that in terms 2, 3 and 4 reports will be made available to students and
their families on DAYMAP only on the last day of each term. If you do not have access to
internet at home, your child will be able to print a copy of their report at school.
We continue to seek your support in following school processes with regard to student
absences and ensuring that students are attending school in the required school uniform.
The STEM works continue to be a focus for our school community and at the beginning of
the term students had access to the unisex toilets in the Courage corridor and more
recently the counsellor’s area has been made available again. We look forward to next
term when we are able to use the new rooms and facilities which will support innovation
and creativity in our teaching and learning programs. The redesigned Resource Centre will
also become a central hub for supporting students with their learning and promote inquiry
and research. Despite the limited access to rooms over the last term it has been pleasing to
note that there has been no disruption to teaching and learning programs.
The year 9 students participated in NAPLAN in week 3 and the majority of students are to be
commended for their high levels of engagement during this period.
This year the Football Academy introduced a new initiative a Football camp for students
participating in this specialist program. The camp was highly successful and students had
the opportunity to be involved in a range of exciting learning experiences as well as match
play.
Our school community would like to extend our congratulations to Norie Hayama a 2017
year 12 graduate who has been awarded the University of Adelaide Principal’s scholarship.

Health & Safety - Ban on Aerosol
Products
There is already a ban on deodorant sprays
and other aerosols, but some students are
continuing to bring them to school.
Pressurised aerosol products emit
unnecessary volatile organic chemicals and
produce a fine mist which is easily inhaled
and absorbed into the blood stream and
which can produce severe allergic
reactions, particularly for students with
asthma.
Students are asked to use pump sprays, roll
on deodorants and other safer products to
protect their own health and that of their
fellow students. As in the case for other
banned items, staff will confiscate any
aerosol products found in school and they
can then be collected from Reception at
the end of the week.
Please support us to ensure the health and
safety of our students.

Car parking around the school: Parents / Caregivers / Students,
Please be aware of the parking signage and line
marking in the streets that surround our school.
We have had a large number of complaints regarding
people receiving parking tickets from the council,
when dropping off /picking up their child/ren,
attending meetings etc.
Unfortunately, if you are stopping or parking illegally in
areas clearly marked with yellow lines and signage,
and receive any kind of fine, the school is unable to
assist you in disputing these fines as it is out of our
jurisdiction to do so.
To avoid receiving a fine, simply follow the signage
displayed.
Out the front of the school on Garden Terrace - on the
school side of the road - When you are facing the
school / sign:
To the right of the sign there is no parking permitted
between 8:00 - 9:00am and 2:30 - 4:00pm. In these
times, it is a passenger loading only zone (like kiss &
drop zone). You cannot stop, park and wait.
To the left of the sign is a loading zone only (for
delivery vehicles only) and a no standing zone. Both of
these zones mean No Parking at any time, as there is
no time stated.
Please be sure to abide by these signs in any
street surrounding the school to avoid
receiving a fine!
EALD News When Hoey left the school to
return home he shared that he
liked the rules of the school
because you don't have to have
a short haircut every month and
students can wear earrings. He
found that the students are fun
and funny and that the teachers
are very kind and polite. He also likes the way the
school starts later than his school back home and
finishes earlier. He liked the classroom sizes because
there are fewer students too. But mostly he liked the
friends he has come to know. He will miss us and I am
sure we will miss him.
CMI Apprentice Welcome and Graduation
Evening Last year CMI Toyota advertised 10 new apprentice
positions. 300 young people applied and Oscar
Stringer from Underdale High School, who was
engaged in our Cert I Automotive Programme at
Underdale High School, was successful in winning one
of these positions.
On the 10th of May, Mr Pappageorgiou and I had the
privilege of attending an apprentice welcome and
graduation evening at CMI Toyota. During this
ceremony the new and completing apprentices were
presented to the audience. Several were presented
with awards for their high levels of success.
Oscar was presented as one of the young apprentices
that represent the future for the company in
automotive.
Oscar’s pathway into CMI was as a direct result of his
involvement in our Automotive programme. He is one
of a long line of graduates of our automotive
programme to have made a successful transition into
the workplace and are now building a productive
career in the Automotive industry.
We wish him every success, Rob Portsch.
SA Refugee Week Poster Competition Congratulations to Year 10 students Jemma Manfre
and Tayla Gleeson who have been selected to have
their posters exhibited alongside 68 other chosen
posters in the SA Refugee Week Launch, which will be
taking place on the 18th of June. A great effort by
both students who created powerful and aesthetically
pleasing images.
Western Zone European Handball Carnival-
Week 11, Term 1
The mighty Underdale High have swept the pool at this
year’s Handball Championships, collecting all 3 titles on
a scorching autumn’s day.
The Senior Girls, Senior Boys and Junior Boys dominated
their matches against schools across the Western Zone,
epitomised by the Girls conceding only one goal
throughout the tournament!
The players were strongly supported by Angela Scriva,
Mulky Abdi and Charlie Mavros who rotated umpire
duties in the hot autumn sun.
All students represented the school in a respectful and
humble manner while collecting Underdale’s 7th title in
8 years (carnival was previously a mixed competition).
Mr Hilditch
Staff Uniform Day On Friday, some of our staff role modelled our
Underdale uniform. We encourage our students to wear
the uniform with pride!
Art Gallery Visits The majority of our Year 8 and Year 12 Visual Art
students visited the ‘Colours of Impressionism’
exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia which
features more than 65 masterpieces from the
renowned collection of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
Students were able to closely view, analyse and
express their opinions of these impressive works that
showcase the evolution of the impressionism art
movement. Students were inspired by the detailed
technique and the use of individual brush strokes of
colour. Practical activities in class enabled students
to apply their knowledge and practice
Impressionism painting techniques.
I found most of the paintings very interesting but the
one that stood out for me was ‘Water Lilies’ by
Claude Monet. - Jacob Klotz (Year 8)
The piece of artwork I liked most was by Paul
Signac. It was called “Le Chateau des
Papes” (place of the popes). I liked how it had lots
of neon colours and when I looked up really close I
saw dots but when I took a couple steps back it all
joined together. - Bethany Borelli (Year 8)

Football Camp Underdale High School hosted its inaugural Middle
School Football Academy camp at the Adelaide
Shores complex from May 14th to May 16th during
week 3 for all year 8/9 football academy students
and year 10 girls in the academy. The academy
stayed at the Adelaide Shores Caravan Park for the
two nights, while using The Adelaide Shores Football
Centre and Barratt Reserve for various activities.
Over the three days spent at Adelaide Shores, the
students took part in a range of sessions including:
Guest speaker from the FFSA talking about player
conduct & integrity on and off the football field.
Team building games run by Beyond the
Classroom
Small Sided internal matches
Friendly matches against Port Pirie and Henley
Fundamental skills training session and gameplay
session with football academy coaches and
former Adelaide United player, Cristiano
Nutrition information sessions
Video analysis sessions
Recovery sessions at West Beach at 7am
Developing and learning general life skills such as
washing football uniforms
We would like to thank Port Pirie and Henley for their
involvement with our camp as well as the FFSA for
providing a guest speaker and Cristiano for his time
coaching our students.
We look forward to a bigger and better football
camp in 2019!
Knockout Sport Term 2 sees the start of various knockout sport
competitions for Underdale High School, a busy period
for our football and netball academies. For the 2018
Term 2/3 School Sport SA Knockout Sport competitions,
we have the following teams entered:
Year 8/9 Boys Knockout Football
Year 8/9 Girls Knockout Football
Year 10 Boys Knockout Football
Open Boys Knockout Football
Open Girls Knockout Football
Year 8/9 Boys & Girls 5-a-side Football
Open Boys & Girls Futsal

Year 10 Girls Knockout Netball
So far this term, our open boys and girls futsal teams
have competed in the qualifying round to qualify for the
state finals during week 3. Our open girls team finished
second in the pool, meaning they will play in the state
finals in week 10. Unfortunately, our open boys teams
were eliminated after missing out on a top two finish on
goal difference!
On Thursday 24th May during week 4, our year 8/9 boys
and girls 5-a-side football teams competed in the
western zone carnival, to qualify for the state finals.
Underdale entered five boys teams and claimed 1st
place with a 5-1 win in the final as well as 3rd and 4th
place, while Underdale’s sole girls team finished first with
a 7-0 win in their final. These results mean Underdale will
have a boys and girls team in the State Finals later this
term!
Underdale’s open boys football team have progressed
to the second round of their competition against Henley
or Adelaide, after St George forfeited the game,
All other knockout games will soon be taking place over
the next few weeks, and we will keep you updated with
each team’s progress.
After School Sport & Zone Carnivals During term 2, Underdale will be involved with the
Western Zone after school sport program. Games are
played every Wednesday throughout the term against
other schools in the western zone. This term we have
teams entered in junior boys football, junior girls netball,
junior mixed badminton and open mixed badminton.
This term, Underdale will also be involved in several
carnivals. This will include year 8-10 girls 9-a-side Aussie
Rules Footy, Year 8/9 Boys & Girls Tag Rugby and Year
8/9 Boys & Girls Basketball. We will provide updates on
how our teams go in the next edition of the school
newsletter.
