Welcome to James Nash State High School Welcome to James Nash State High School. My name is Jackson Dodd and I am very proud to be the Principal of such a great school. Firstly, let me thank you for trusting our professional staff with the responsibility of supporting your children through adolescence and positioning them with the best opportunity for success in the next phase of their lives. We are humbled by this and commit to doing our utmost for your children. James Nash State High School (“James Nash”) delivers much more than great academic outcomes; our school provides students with a broad education that addresses the social, emotional and personal needs of young people in the 21st century. Achieving such an outcome relies on empowering our learners and in doing so providing students with the opportunity to play a part in driving their learning as well as accepting responsibility for their actions and accountability for the outcomes. This function provides powerful preparation for students as they move into work or further study. Finally, we recognise that a quality education is a significant ingredient in a successful life and as such we invest heavily in the quality of our teaching. This, coupled with a diverse curriculum and a strong values set continues to prepare well rounded young adults to make amazing contributions to our communities. We, as a school, set high expectations for our staff, students and parents. Join us on the learning journey as we engage, empower and excel.

Programs of Excellence James Nash currently has three cornerstone Excellence Programs which students may enter on an application only process. These are set out below. The Academy of Creative Arts The Academy of Creative Arts (“ACA”) which was established in 2011. It was formally recognised by Education Queensland as a ‘Program of Excellence’ from 2014. ACA is a co-curricular extension program advancing students’ performance skills. ACA provides opportunities for students already studying Drama, Visual Art, Instrumental Msic or Music subjects to:- Ø extend skills in technical production, music, singing, dancing and/or acting; Ø enhance creativity and leadership capacity; Ø connect with the school and broader community; Ø build confidence and communication skills; Ø explore pathways to careers or further studies in the creative industries; Ø collaborate and make new friends; and Ø celebrate success.

What do ACA students do? Ø Weekly rehearsals; Ø Workshops with specialists, professionals in the creative industries and artists; Ø Compete in festivals or eisteddfods; and Ø Perform at school and in the community, such as at the Gympie Music Muster.

An ACA brochure with specific information is located at the back of this booklet. James Nash Rugby Union Program James Nash supports both a dedicated female and male rugby union program from Years 7 - 12 (programs may vary dependent upon student interest). Rugby Union teams represent the School at a local and regional level and maintain a competitive position in the Queensland school rugby scene. Our Rugby program encourages students to: Ø gain skills in leadership, teamwork and sportsmanship; Ø participate in exciting community and professional sporting partnerships and programs (such as in

the Queensland Reds Development Program and workshops with the Gympie Hammers); and Ø participate in other James Nash leadership initiatives as a result of their sporting achievements (such

as the Student Ambassador program).

While camp is not compulsory, it is a great opportunity for students to make new friends, learn leadership skills and get settled into secondary schooling. Camp fees vary each year depending on location and numbers and are in addition to other school fees charged by James Nash.

Curriculum

The James Nash Curriculum Plan is comprised of a Middle School Curriculum Plan, a Senior School Curriculum Plan and Whole School Literacy/Numeracy Plan. Please refer to our website for a detailed overview of the curriculum.

International Program

James Nash is an accredited International School who proudly hosts International students from countries across the world. As an International School, we welcome new students from across the world each year to experience authentic Australian education and culture. If you are interested in becoming a host family for an international student, please contact our International School’s Coordinator Mrs Debra Fredman, on [email protected]. International students will participate in James Nash’s work programs. It is a condition of student visas that students complete course work and attend 85% of lessons. Reports for international students will be based on work completed at the end of each term.

School Council Our School Council meets once per term, with representatives from partnering bodies within the community (such as the University of the Sunshine Coast), students from our Student Representative Council or Student Ambassador Body, and parents and members of a governance board. School Council is an opportunity for everyone from every level of the school community to have their say and provide feedback to the strategic direction of the school.

Involving Parents At James Nash we believe our role is to assist parents with the education of their child. We aim to provide the highest quality educational opportunities and strive to work closely with parents and the wider community to ensure we are meeting your expectations. The greatest factor that can affect the performance of students at school is parental involvement and it is for this reason we encourage close links between school and home. Parents are involved in school governance through the School Council, the Ladies Auxiliary (meets at 6.45 pm on the 4th Tuesday of every month) and the Parents and Citizenship Association (meet at 7.30 pm on the 4th Tuesday of every month). We invite parents into the school to discuss their student’s progress at any time however we offer two formal occasions in the school year for parent/teacher interviews and issue written reports four times per year. Teachers can be contacted at any time using the email list on our website (under the “Our Staff” tab). This is the fastest way to discuss concerns about your student with a member of staff from the school. Z

Tuckshop The James Nash Tuckshop is open every day before school, and during both breaks. Students can pre-order their Tuckshop in the morning, prior to the school day commencing. The Tuckshop accepts cash or card, and stocks a variety of healthy, fresh and affordable food and drinks for our students. A copy of the Tuckshop Menu is located in this Handbook or on our website.

Our expectations of students - the Responsible Behaviour Management Plan

James Nash has developed a Responsible Behaviour Plan for students and has implemented procedures for a whole-school approach to instilling responsible behaviour in a supportive school environment. School community members have participated in this development and implementation. You can download a copy of the Plan online at: https://jamesnashshs.eq.edu.au/our-school/rules-and-policies.

Complaints management Effective partnerships between parents, students and our school are important to educational success. Contact reception • Try to state your concern calmly, clearly and courteously. Being aggressive will not help resolve the

issue and staff may end your call should you be aggressive toward them.

• Someone will listen to your concern and make sure they understand it.

• The teacher/administrator will summarise the main points. He or she will usually explain the school policy or procedure on the issue.

• He/she will work out an action plan with you, what he/she will do, what you should do and what your

child should do and when he/she you will talk again.

• He/she may deal with the complaint or refer it to another person.

• In many cases they should be able to resolve your concern straight away. Handling the matter • Some matters must not be handled at a local school level because they are confidential and may

relate to Code of Conduct/Child Protection. They must be referred to Education Queensland’s central office or the local district office.

• Other matters will need further investigation. In this phase a decision will be made about how a complaint will be handled.

Finding out more • In this phase, the person handling the complaint will try to find out all about your concern. They will

try to understand the context and causes.

• You should help by providing all the information you can.

• They may need to talk to people to get a complete picture. As they do this they may begin to explore options to resolve the matter.

• You can help them by focusing on a positive resolution of the matter. Your information will be treated

confidentially (but where the matter must be investigated by an external agency it will need to be passed on to it).

• You need to be aware that the person who is being complained about usually has the right to be

made aware of the complaint.

Page 14: Welcome to James Nash State High School...Welcome to James Nash State High School Welcome to James Nash State High School. My name is Jackson Dodd and I am very proud to be the Principal

Resolution • The person who is handling your complaint will use the facts that have been gathered to make a

decision that is fair to all concerned.

• He/she will work to put things right for you and would appreciate your help to do this. He/she wants to make sure that you accept the resolution.

Non-Compulsory School Sponsored Activities Over the years, unpaid SRHS fees have impacted heavily on the school. Therefore in 2020/21, students with outstanding resources hire fees will be denied the opportunity to participate in non-compulsory school sponsored events and access to resources as listed below:-

It is not the aim of the school to disadvantage students in any way. However, full financial support of parents/guardians is crucial to the school’s budget. If you find that your SRHS payments are falling behind because of financial hardship, please contact the Principal or Business Manager to renegotiate the terms of payment. Good communication assists us to help you and your student/s. Payment • Upon receipt of a signed “YES” option of the Participation Agreement together with payment of fees,

an official school receipt will be issued for all payments made to the school office. Parents should ensure they receive and keep any receipts issued. Cheque payments should be made out to James Nash State High School and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

• If you choose not to participate in the SRHS, please carefully read, complete and sign the “NO” option

of the Participation Agreement and return the Agreement to the school office. You will then be given a list of resources that you will need to purchase for your child.

At James Nash, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for students, staff and volunteers. This commitment includes the health and safety of staff and students when conducting curriculum activities in the school or in other locations. School excursions and camps enhance a student’s learning by providing opportunities for the student to participate in activities, both curriculum-related and recreational, outside the normal school routine. All planned school excursions are approved by the Principal and endorsed by the Parents and Citizens Association. State schools are able to charge a fee for:- • An educational service including materials and consumables not defined as instruction, administration

and facilities for the education of the student;

• An education service purchased from a provider other than the school where the provider charges the school; and

• A specialised educational program. A school fee is directed to the purpose for which it is charged. School fees for excursions and camps are calculated on a cost recovery only basis, according to the number of students who have indicated their attendance. Participation of students in an excursion or camp is indicated through payment of the excursion or camp fee and provision of a permission form completed by the parent/carer. As the school budget cannot meet any shortfalls in funding for an excursion or camp due to the subsequent non-participation of a student who had previously indicated attendance of the activity, fees already paid for an excursion or school camp may be refunded in full or in part or not at all, having regard to the associated expenses incurred and the circumstances of the non-participation. If a parent/carer wishes to apply for a refund due to their child’s non-participation in an excursion or camp activity, they may do so by completing a Request for Refund form available from the school office. Where possible, the request should include the receipt relating to the payment for which a refund is being sought. It is preferred that refunds be made as a credit against the student’s account at the school, and used for any cost in the future.
