See Page 2 From the Principal Dear Parents, Caregivers, Students and Staff National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) Parents and Caregivers of Year 9 students will receive a letter and their child’s Report on Friday 24th September. If you do not receive the Report or wish to discuss any matters associated with it, please contact Ms Preset on 83048420 early in Term 4. Term 3 Reports Student Reports will be issued to all students on Friday 24th September. Please take the time to talk about the Report with your child. Last Day Term 3 Students will be dismissed at 2.30pm on Friday 24th September. International News We had seventeen Marryatville High School students and three Grant High School students visiting Soja Minami, our sister school in Japan, for the last three weeks. Mr Bryce Woodley and Ms Jo Richards accompanied these students on the trip. The students have returned home and from all accounts had a very enjoyable time. This year two staff, Mr Manuel Pontikinas and Mr Carl Matthews will spend four weeks at Wei Yu Middle School in Shanghai. Wei Yu is one of our sister schools in China. We are currently working on another exciting initiative following a visit earlier this year from a delegation of leaders from Vietnam. Vietnam has agreed to host four staff in Hanoi for four weeks. This will occur in late November/December. Future Problem Solving National Finals The Middle Division team from Marryatville High School has been invited to participate in the National Finals to be held at Melbourne University from Friday 15th October to Sunday 17th October 2010 (i.e. at the end of week 1, term 4). There are 4 students in the team with 2 reserves who will join alternate teams (i.e. will compete with students from other schools) at the Finals. This is the sixth year that our teams have received an invitation. In 2006 and 2008, the Finals were also held in Melbourne. Site Learning Plan The school is currently reviewing the ongoing Site Learning Plan. Jenni Henzell, a former teacher at Marryatville High School is working with members of Governing Council and staff to look at priorities for the next 3 year plan. A survey is being prepared and parent and student consultation will occur over the next few months. Information gathered through this consultation will be used to identify the Site Learning Plan 2011 – 2013. This is an important document that identifies and drives the school’s direction and measures outcomes achieved. This survey will be on-line and all parents are invited, and indeed, encouraged to participate. Expanding State High Schools The school is continuing to explore this opportunity. The Asset Management Group has agreed on the major site priorities and a small group has had several meetings with the Department of Education & Children’s Services representatives. Two architects have visited the school and a meeting is planned to invite Learning Area representatives to meet with them. Following this meeting some concept plans will be drawn up. Governing Council will continue to monitor this process and keep the community informed. Parent Forum On the 9th September a Parent Information Forum entitled “Coping with School and Adolescence” showcased a range of expert guest speakers who provided information on topics such as Adolescent Eating, Sleeping, Mental Health, Relationships and Internet Safety. The forum also featured student presentations on these topics including the results of a Marryatville High School Student Survey. Feedback from parents who attended was overwhelmingly positive and it is likely that such forums will become a regular feature on the Marryatville High School calendar. Kerry Friedrichs Principal
