NEWSLETTERFrom the PrincipalAcademic Achievement Term 1

Congratulations to our Term 1 top academic students. Students celebrated their success by an invitation to a lunch with the Principal.

The top ten students in Year 11 and 12 enjoyed lunch at Café Primo, where they provided feedback about their learning at

Salisbury High School while the top students in Middle School attended a pizza lunch in our Resource Centre.

Some of the questions the students were asked to comment on were:

• What is working at Salisbury High School?• Who is their best teacher and why?• What can we improve?

What is working well? - a few comments from senior students were – school tutoring, snapshot results, our wide range of different pathways and teaching methods, good teachers, respectful rules and high expectations.

Middle school comments were - the positive communication with teachers and students, the staff are very helpful at school and push you to success, how interactive many of the classes are, assessment tasks and the amount of choices we get.

These comments provide the school with the knowledge that these are valuable to our school system and learners.

NASSSA Western Front Tour 2014A group of staff and students from the Northern Adelaide region visited Europe in the school holidays as part of the NASSSA Schools Anzac group. Lachlan Sparrow, Alex Knoop, Abbey Morrison and Mr Evan Polymeneas were privileged to join students from several northern area schools in a tour of significant World War One sights along

the French and Belgium border culminating in a visit to Villers Bretonneux on Anzac Day. The students visited London and Paris for a few days and then spent ten days visiting memorials, museums and significant military sites along the western front such Menin gate, Pozieres, Passchendaele, Hill 60, Ypres and The Somme to name a few. Inside this edition is an article and photos from Mr Polymeneas.

iTRACKThis term students have been involved in the Smith Family’s iTrack program. Students meet for one hour each week online with volunteer mentors who work in specific industries that the students are particularly interested in. Some of the mentors include an Accountant, a Librarian and a SANTOS employee.

Feedback has been fantastic with many of the professional mentors being impressed in just the first few weeks with the students’ questions and enthusiasm. The program aims to prepare students for specific industries allowing them to ask any question to their mentors from salary, qualifications and daily tasks performed. Students will gain a better understanding of their own abilities and ultimately decided if they are suited to that particular industry before investing in it.

The program will take place for the remainder of the term and will be concluded with an excursion where the students will actually meet the mentors they have been talking with for the past 10 weeks. Students involved are: Karley Benbolt Agius, Jaylon Newchurch, Kyann Evans, Kyle Howard, Baron Robinson, Nichola Henderson, Amber Odegaard, Taliesha Wright. Alohahilani Hampton and Tiana Bain.

STUDENT FREE DAYFriday 6th June 2014

The Northern Area Secondary State Schools Alliance Training and Development will hold a professional learning day on Friday 6th June. The focus will be on deepening our understanding of the Australian Curriculum.

4 • POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING •

Maths On Thursday March 20, six Year 8 and 9 Maths classes had the opportunity to participate in the

fun, colourful and educational mathematics workshop “World of Maths”, a unique traveling maths show that provides students with 17 different hands-on mathematical problem solving activities. The activities have been invented, designed and manufactured by World of Maths and therefore would not be found anywhere else in the world.

Students gained an insight into problem solving, working in teams and also various maths principles which are part of the Australian Curriculum. All sessions were highly engaging and showed students how maths is applied to some real life situations and promoted to students that Maths is fun!

Stage 2Do you have a passion for Chemistry or Physics? Are you considering studying science at university? If you answered yes to either of the above, the annual Science Booster hosted by UniSA is definitely something you should consider applying for next year if you are in Year 11, or keep in the back of your mind for when your turn comes.

The Booster consists of two intense, fast-paced days of practicals workshops and group activities hosted at the Mawson Lakes campus. Fundamental concepts that students find challenging were explained in-depth by the campus’ academic staff, one of whom was previously a SACE exam marker and moderator. An opportunity to learn about university life from current students was also provided in the form of a questions and answers panel. The insider’s perspective was extremely useful, and the relaxed environment encouraged people to ask any questions they may have had.

These two days were immensely enjoyable and provided numerous insights into study in Year 12 and beyond. I would highly recommend this program, especially as it is completely free for all participating students. If you still are not convinced, there are various prizes available to be won and full catering is provided for both days. There is absolutely nothing to lose, and an invigorating and inspirational experience to be gained.

Albert Kong

Congratulations to this year’s participants: Connor Furness, John Pham, Rodney Shaw, Lee Schultz and Albert Kong.

Successful Science studentLee Schultz, Year 12, has been selected to represent Australia and NYSF at, the International Youth Science Forum Week in Pretoria, South Africa, in June/July/

Lee was selected from 450 young Australians after displaying a passion for science, strong interpersonal

skills, teamwork, inquiry, communication and potential leadership skills earlier this year at the National Youth Science Forum in Perth.

We congratulate Lee on this achievement. He will make an excellent ambassador for Australia and Salisbury High School at this very prestigious event.

Like many things in life, the experience comes at a cost. Lee needs some financial assistance. Any fund raising ideas, sponsorships or donations would be welcomed by Lee and his family and are tax deductible. For further details please contact Ms Ludewig on 8182 0200.

Successful Maths studentPabitra Gautam, Year 12, attended the 2014 Women and Mathematics Workshop (WMW) at The University of Adelaide on Wednesday 3rd May.

The event is aimed at female Year 12 students who:

• have fun doing mathematics• are thinking about studying mathematics • want to find out about careers involving mathematics.

The full day workshop included

• guest speakers talking about career paths with mathematics• glimpses of university mathematics• information on university courses, degrees and scholarships• discussions with current university students and academics

Reflection by Pabitra Gautam

I was very pleased to attend this workshop as I got a chance to meet many likeminded students (now friends) who are also good at maths. I had fun and acquired more information about mathematics and associated careers. I now know there are lots of mathematics careers which I can choose to study after high school. I really appreciate the opportunity I had. It was very inspirational.

Throughout Term 2 teachers will be collecting data to both identify and indicate how students with disability at Salisbury High School are supported in their

learning. This will include both students in mainstream classes and in the Special Education unit. Students who have an NEP will automatically be included in the data. Included in this newsletter is an information sheet for Parents/Carers about the data collection. Please contact the Data Collection Team at the school via the Front Office if you have any questions or concerns.

NASSSA Western Front Tour 2014

Over the term 1 school break three students Lachlan Sparrow, Alex Knoop, Abbey Morrison, and myself were privileged to join students from several northern areas schools in a tour of significant World War One sights along the French and Belgium border.

The students visited London and Paris for a few days and then spent 10 days visiting memorials, museums and significant military sites along the western front such as Menin gate, Pozieres, Passchendaele, Hill 60, Ypres and The Somme to name a few.

The experience was eye opening and fascinating as we experienced the scale and level of operations that played a crucial role in the battles of WW1. We visited craters, tunnels and trenches and had the honour of spending ANZAC day at Villas Bretenoux where the dawn service was a sombre and reflective occasion.

The extent of learning that took place was definitely impressive and the students came back with a shared respect for the historical significance and human cost of the Great War. Our students researched a local ANZAC soldier before heading abroad and some had the opportunity in France to visit their war graves.

Overall the experience was definitely a life changing experience and all those who participated will no doubt share and reflect on their unique and life changing experience.

Global Leaders Convention On May 7th, the year level leaders of the SRC attended a Global Leaders Convention. World Vision hosts this annual event to empower students to lead their school communities in the fight against global hunger.

The focus country this year is Rwanda so we learnt a lot about the struggles the people of this country have faced and still face today. We heard from World Vision youth ambassadors who visited Rwanda as well as Jean-Claude, a Rwandan man.

After the presentations were over and we had played a game of ‘survival’ with hundreds of other school students we were asked to make a plan. We decided that each member of the SRC will participate in the 40 Hour famine and we will encourage other Salisbury High School students to participate as well.

Did you know?• 20 years ago, almost a whole

generation of farmers were killed in Rwanda taking their skills and knowledge with them.

• Most Rwandan children are malnourished.

• Many Rwandan children must look after younger siblings while their parents work so cannot attend school to get an education.

• The average life expectancy of a person living in Australia is 80 but if you live in Rwanda it is only 55.

We want to raise as much money as we can to help the Rwandan people have more food security, farming sustainability, and increase their average life expectancy.

The 40 Hour Famine is on the 15th to 17th August see an SRC member or Ms Edwards if you want to GET INVOLVED and help make a difference.

Ms Edwards - SRC

VIVOSWe are running a short promotion whereby every student who has logged on this year is in the draw to win an MP3 multimedia player. Winners will be drawn at the next assembly. Encourage your child to show you the vivo site and their points so far. It is great to see them being acknowledged for great effort and work output.

LanguagesStudents in the Year 10 Italian class have been researching regional foods of Italy. As part of the project students celebrated a shared lunch where they celebrated the food they prepared.

Students were engaged in the homemade pasta activity as they made pasta from scratch with two ingredients, flour and eggs. They also prepared a variety of tomato and white cream sauces to accompany the fettuccine and the ricotta and spinach ravioli.

The traditional Pasta fatta in casa (home made pasta), requires kneading the dough for 15 minutes before using the pasta machine. The delicate sheets of pasta are then cut to the preferred pasta variety and hung to dry on racks before cooking. Some students also made pizza and the traditional Italian minestrone.

Integrating Italian with Home Economics/Food is proving to be very successful as students not only learn about Italian culture but continue to engage in their learning and develop team building and organisation life skills which extend beyond the classroom.

Students are encouraged to share their learning at home where they discuss their cultural understanding and where they can make links with their own lifestyles and traditions with those of the target language which they are studying.

Sport ReportCongratulations to the three Salisbury High students who represented South Australia in the National All Nations AFL Carnival. Criteria for selection was; born overseas, aged 15 or under, talented at AFL and a positive role model. Aaron Mendekia Year 8, Morris Fayiah Year 9 and Aime Zubah Year 10 were selected for the Carnival.

The Carnival was held in Coffs Harbour (NSW) from Thursday 10th April to Wednesday 16th April. Selection was an incredible achievement as only 12 players were selected from the state.

Eddie Betts presented the boys with their uniforms and tracksuits before they left for the Carnival on Wednesday 9th April at AAMI Stadium. Unfortunately the boys lost all their games but the experience they had is something that will never be forgotten. Well done!

Open Boys and Girls 5 A-Side Soccer Carnival

On Tuesday 20th May Salisbury High School participated in the Northern Zone Open Boys and Girls 5 A-Side Soccer Carnival. The Carnival was held at Ridley Reserve and ran all day.

Salisbury High was represented by one Open Girls team and two Open Boys teams.

The Open Boys competition had 18 teams and both teams achieved great results. One team finished 12th whilst the other team finished an incredible 3rd.

The girls on the other hand were exceptional and ended up winning the entire Carnival. Sophie Kandalis, as team captain, graciously accepted the Northern Zones Championship trophy. The girls will now move onto the State-wide Carnival on Thursday the 12th June. Hopefully they can go one step further and become State Champions.

The behaviour and excellent sportsmanship demonstrated by everyone was a real credit to our students. Good luck to the girls for the State Finals and a big thank you to our students for representing our school so positively.

Saturday morning the SAASTA students and staff eagerly attended the award ceremony, hoping to make it to the grand final. At the beginning of the ceremony a montage was shown displaying all 30 schools War Cry. Salisbury High received the biggest cheer and knew we were in with a chance to win the prestigious award. Sure enough we won the ‘Best War Cry Award’ and the cheer was even louder. Aaron Adams and Kartarnya Martin accepted the award and prize.

The students spent the rest of the afternoon on a cultural walk around town, proudly holding up our painted Salisbury High banner. At 5pm we entered Adelaide Oval to watch the Power Cup final. Aaron Adams, Kyle Howard and Trevor Wanganeen keenly helped out Murray Bridge High School by playing in their team. Before the Port Power AFL game the SAASTA students, in matching uniforms, ran out onto the field to participate in a cultural dance in front of a large crowd to celebrate the end of the Power Cup Carnival and also Indigenous Round.

After the events were over, the team settled in to watch the match from the grand stand. Well done to all students that participated in the Aboriginal Power Cup and a huge thanks to the staff and parents that attended the Aboriginal Power Cup to support all the students.

Power Cup 2014

Salisbury High’s Aboriginal students attended and participated in the annual Power Cup Carnival for three days between Thursday the 22nd May and Saturday the 24th May. The 2014 SASSTA students looked forward to the main event after completing theory work in class, maintaining high attendance rates and practising their football skills. Two major tasks undertaken by the students included creating a War Cry to be performed throughout the carnival and designing the team Guernsey to be worn. Congratulations to Jaylon Newchurch, whose design was created and distributed to all students.

On day one the girls were nervous about playing the rough sport, yet the boys were more than excited to get out onto the field. There were many tackles, marks and goals. Staff, parents and students watched and cheered in amazement from the sideline. The first win set the tone. The girl’s teamwork ensured they succeeded, winning all games but one.

The boys were eager, confident and hungry with many belonging to football teams. The games were rough and many boys felt extremely sore on the bus ride home each night. They worked as a team and won six out of seven games.

Stage 2 HealthStudents from Stage 2 Health were required to undertake a practical activity working in pairs or a group to participate in a health-promoting activity beyond the classroom. The activity gave students a chance to volunteer their time, fundraise or promote health and awareness in the community. This activity also enabled students to interact with outside community members and required communication, teamwork and organisation skills.

The activities students conducted included raising money and donating blood for The Red Cross Foundation, Guide Dogs and healthy cookies were sold for The Heart Foundation. Students also volunteered their time at the Salvation Army and an Aged Care Facility. A lunch time Soccer competition and a dodge ball tournament were conducted. Middle school students were involved in an OPAL presentation which promoted healthy eating and physical activity and a health lesson was conducted at a Bhutanese Ethnic school promoting healthy lifestyles. Students made an amazing effort for this activity and awareness has been raised in the community.

Thank you to the school community for your generosity in supporting these fundraisers and health promotion activities.

Ms Kasdalis and Ms Price

AttendanceAttendance is a major factor contributing to student well being and academic achievement. Every student is expected to be at school every day and on time for scheduled lessons. If a student is absent they require a note signed by parent or contact from caregiver by phone. Text messages are sent daily if students do not attend morning care and have not signed in.

Student ServicesThe Student Services Team now consists of Sarah Buttle, Mary Chrysostomou, Mandy Price, Jess Nguyen and Bec Riccio. The In School Psychologist is Mike Oliver.

We look forward to meeting you throughout the year. If we can help your child in any way with any issues they are going through either at school, home or personal matters, please contact Student Services for assistance or ask your child to make an appointment with us through the Front Office.

Have you ever heard the quote A chip off the old block? This is a quote frequently used both positively and negatively.

A quote we have on our office wall is…My children will become what I am, so I’ll be what I want them to be. We keep this in view to be reminded of the huge responsibility we have each and everyday as a Role Model.

Being a positive role model requires pre-planning, deciding what you value and hold as important in life, deciding what kind of person you want to be and then a lot of self-control.

There is much talk about disciplining our children, consequences for actions, and training them well but as responsible adults and parents we need to put equal emphasis on disciplining ourselves.

Parents are one of the most powerful role models for their children.

A recent commercial - Children See, Children Do shows children copying their parents in words, attitudes and actions. The slogan is Make your influence positive.

As a parent or responsible adult you are a role model in the things that you say and do and through the example that you set with your attitude, language and behaviour.

Don’t forgetChildren SeeChildren Do

Make your influence positive and be what you want them to be!
