We are pleased to advise families that we have been able to fill our
Aboriginal Community Education Officer (ACEO) position. Cynthia
Fielding will be available to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander students and families for 15 hours per week on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Cynthia and Lil Ilcesin (Aboriginal
Education Teacher) will continue meeting regularly with the students.
We are especially keen to ensure that our year 12 students have secure pathways when they leave school and are supported intensively in the final weeks before their exams and final assessment tasks are due.
Cynthia and Lil will be taking all Year 10/11/12 students to
‘Wirltu Yarlu - The University of
Adelaide’ on Wednesday,
November 5th, to show all the students what is available out there for future career options.
Cynthia Fielding
After reviewing our current timetable the total instruction time for year 12 students was considered inadequate. While the new SACE has reduced the number of subjects students are required to study to complete their SACE thus allowing students to focus on more in depth study of fewer subjects, and consequently more independent study time, teachers have been concerned about the reduction in face to face teaching. In response to this situation, the daily lesson times, home group, recess and lunch breaks have been adjusted. To accommodate the extra instruction time we have reduced home group and lunch and added an additional lesson for year 12 subjects.
To manage this change within industrial agreements, the school day will change slightly on Monday in 2015. School will finish at 2.30pm on Monday, start times and finish times will remain the same on
Tuesday to Friday. This change has been approved by the Governing
Council. OSHC and relevant bus companies have been advised of the change.
Monday 8.45am – 2.30pm
Tuesday to Friday 8.45am – 3.05pm
Lessons start at 8.45 and, to ensure that students are in class ready to focus on their learning promptly, there is a warning bell at 8.40am.
Students can use this time to go to lockers and settle into routines for the day. Punctuality and attendance are critical for successful learning and achievement and a behaviour that all employees expect. While the article on attendance refers to
Middle School students and routines, the message and expectations are relevant to all students.

The school fees for 2015 have been set by the Governing Council and verified by the Department of Education. There has been no increase, with fees remaining the same as 2014. The endorsed fee structure is attached for your information. Families have an opportunity to provide a response to the Governing Council at a special meeting on
25 th
November or in writing to the Governing Council Chairperson.
Fees set by the Governing Council provide materials, equipment and services that enable your child to enjoy a quality education and are similar to schools in the local area. We believe these fees are good value for families at approximately $1.50 (Junior School) and $2.40 (Senior School) per day per student. We encourage you to support the quality of education you want for your child by supporting the fee structure and expecting all parents to contribute equally.

The Heights School has offered the Ignite Program to gifted students since 1997.
It’s a privilege and honour to hear of our past students’ achievements.
Ben Crisp recently received his PhD, a Doctorate of Creative Writing from the University of Adelaide, and is currently working on a film script. He reminisces about being involved in the Ignite program and what The Heights School and its staff have provided him.
“I studied at The Heights School from 1998 until 2002 and went on to study an honours degree in philosophy at the
University of Adelaide, for which I was awarded a travel scholarship to complete my studies at the University of
Lancaster in the UK. I travelled to Europe, learnt about history, art and culture, and when I returned I completed a doctorate in Creative Writing at the University of Adelaide. Since leaving The Heights School I have been lucky enough to work as a screenwriter for the film, television and advertising industries, as well as to produce and direct short films and commercials. Between these projects I've worked variously as a salesman, librarian, actor, tutor, editor, and as a cable-hand in sports broadcasting.
I love to learn new things—it’s what keeps me interested and motivated, in my work as well as my study. The Ignite program and the teachers at The Heights School gave me an opportunity to push myself. In high school, and in all of life, it can be tempting to “lower the bar”. In study, work, even our relationships, there are “bare minimums” that, if we meet them, ensure we can get by safely, and comfortably, without having to break too much of a sweat. The
Ignite program helped me discover how much more exciting and rewarding it is to push myself beyond the bare minimum, and always to ask more of myself. It also gave me the chance to make friends with people who wanted to push themselves too, and who have all gone on to wonderful and varied lives and careers.
Our teachers at The Heights School made sure that the pressures of high expectations never outweighed the benefits that came when we pushed our limits and found new horizons to explore. The greatest gift a student can carry into their life after school, whether into university, their careers or their relationships, is the mindset that challenges can and should be met with persistence, confidence and a sense of playful curiosity. It is this mindset that the Ignite program fostered in me.
Limits can be pushed too far, of course. In Mr Baddams’ English class, I remember a class debate that I decided would be more entertaining if, instead of actually answering the questions posed, my team performed a series of increasingly silly skits. There was juggling involved, and wrestling, and a cassette recording played to the class that culminated in some risky satire about our teacher. Mr Baddams did see the funny side. But I failed that particular assignment.”
If you know of any past Ignite students’ successes please contact Sharon
Tibbits, P-12 Gifted Education Senior Leader at

Only Year 8 students require vaccinations in 2015.
The schedule sessions will again be offered in Term 1 2015. Date to be advised. These sessions have great benefit to students in increasing their understanding of the vaccines and also reducing anxiety.
The catch up HPV Program for Year 9 boys draws to a close at the end of 2014.
Boys who were in Year 9 in 2013 and 2014 must have at least one dose of the HPV vaccine before 31 December 2014 in order to be eligible to receive the remaining doses free of charge.
If these students do not commence their course of HPV prior to 31 December 2014 they will be required to pay for all doses of the vaccine (current cost is $146 per dose, totalling $438 for a complete course). The parents of students who miss out on receiving the HPV vaccine will be required to pay over $400 for the course.
This cost will not apply to any student who has been offered the HPV vaccine in Year 8 since its introduction in the School Immunisation Program.

Welcome back for Term 4 which is the term that one always wants to put reins on to slow it down. Our preschool and R-5 children have enthusiastically returned and are working towards producing their personal best in every subject. The engagement and learning in all class settings is a real excitement to us as we move around the Junior
School.
R-5 SWIMMING IN TERM 4 WEEK 3
The organisation and planning of Swimming at the Elizabeth Aquadome next week from Monday 27 th
to Friday 31 st
October is mostly complete. We thank all families for your support with forms and meeting payment deadlines, thereby ensuring we will have a very positive start on Monday. All transport to the centre is by private bus company. We know that traditionally our R-5 Heights students enjoy swimming week and their learning and development of water skills is extremely important for life.
PRESCHOOL MATTERS
Our Preschool staff team have been very focussed on planning transition for our children to school and organising the ‘Preschool Matters’ same first day enrolment and information meeting for our 2015 Pre-school children next Monday 27 th
October, 2014. The meeting will be held in our Preschool from 9:30am to 10:30am. We are looking forward to meeting Susan
Martin who has been appointed to The Heights Preschool as a full time teacher in 2015.
Whenever we visit the Preschool the way our children learn, play and interact is most impressive. I commend the staff team in partnership with you as parents and carers for great work being done to successfully allow every child to grow and learn new skills.
R-5 CLASSROOM PLACEMENT FOR 2015
The 2015 class placement process will begin around Term 4 Week 5 and always involves your child’s class teacher.
Please contact your child’s teacher if you would like to provide information about the best possible placement for

Regular school attendance and punctuality are both important because:
They both create important habits for life...
The habits that children establish early in life tend to stick with them. If they become accustomed to sleeping late and coming to school only when they want to, it will establish a pattern for their future decision making.
They increase academic success...
Curriculum content and skills are taught according to SACE and ACARA.
Each skill builds upon the last. If your child misses several days or weeks of school, it is likely that they will have
“gaps” in their learning.
Entering the classroom late not only disrupts your child’s learning but it also disrupts other students who are paying attention to the teacher. If your child stops to ask other students or the teacher questions as they arrive late to the lesson, they disrupt that student’s learning as well as the whole class.
Home Group begins at 8:45. Students are expected to put their bag in their locker and collect all required equipment for lessons 1 and 2 and go straight to Home Group, ready to start the day.
Please support your child, their teachers and fellow students by ensuring they are punctual in arriving at Home
Group and all lessons on time and attend regularly.
PLANNED ABSENCES:
If you know your child will be absent, please write a note in your child’s diary PRIOR to the day of the planned absence, so the Home Group teacher can mark the roll accordingly.
UNPLANNED ABSENCES:
If your child has been absent please provide a note in your child’s diary with a brief explanation for the Home Group teacher, the day they return, so the roll can be adjusted to reflect the reason for their absence.

Celebrated in over 100 countries, World Teachers' Day acknowledges the efforts of teachers in an increasingly complex, multicultural and technological society. It is a day on which students, parents and community members can demonstrate their appreciation for the contributions that teachers have made to their community.

In this second semester, students in the SACE Stage 2 Food and Hospitality class had an assignment that required them to look at Socio-cultural Influences and Technological Influences within the Food and Hospitality Industry. In order to complete this task, they had to research the changing image of Australian Cuisine and its impact on our contemporary society, while taking into account the current and emerging technological advances in the Food and Hospitality Industry. What better way to do this than to look at the ‘Evolution of Hot
Beverages in Australia’.
Coffee appreciation has become an integral part of the Australian culture. No longer do we expect to receive the undrinkable, watery coffee of past years, but top quality single-origin or blended espresso. Sourced from all around the world in a bewildering array of styles: macchiato, latté, doppio, ristretto, cappuccino and more! All are made to meet demanding customer preferences - flat, skinny, soy, decaf, even sometimes without coffee at all!
So the students had to research and develop an opinion on a particular hot beverage of their choice. To aid in their assignment the students visited the ‘S.A Coffee Academy’ on Gawler Place in the CBD, to participate in a session about the history of coffee and espresso coffee making.
The trainer/owner of S.A. Coffee Academy Brian Raslan, is a Certified Australian Barista
Judge, Certified World Barista Judge, Australian Barista Championships Judge and AASCA
Executive member. Brian’s judging experience ranges from Barista competitions and Latté
Art Competitions in local, national and international events.
Brian and his assistant Louston, enabled the students to learn techniques and (almost) how to conquer an industrial coffee machine. Their session included: a brief history of coffee; selecting and grinding the coffee appropriately; extracting espresso; texturing milk; organising and preparing the work area; service and presentation; and the cleaning and maintaining of the espresso machines.
Each student will receive a certificate for their attendance that may assist in employment opportunities within the Food & Hospitality
Industry.
Well done to all who were able to participate.

South Australia’s Maritime Skills Centre (MSC) and the ASC are preparing secondary students for a career in the state’s defence industries. The MSC have engaged TAFESA to develop the Defence Industry
Pathways Program (DIPP), which focuses on future skills and capabilities required in the highly skilled defence industry. The aim is to expose students to skill sets that can be applied to all engineering and advanced manufacturing career pathways.
The recently completed Advanced Manufacturing Centre based at Regency TAFE houses some of the most advanced manufacturing technology in Australia. In this course, Year 10 and 11 students will focus on
Advanced Manufacturing while achieving their Stage 1 SACE credits.
This DIPP program requires students to design and build a model submarine. Students produce a design brief by using industry-standard design and prototyping applications. They then test and analyse their designs to determine methods of improvement prior to manufacturing the final design solution.
The initial model is built using traditional workshop tools and machinery. The students test and analyse their model’s performance, determine improvements and refine their model using state-of-the-art
3 dimensional modelling software. The students also use this software to test and analyse the effectiveness of the model’s design.
The results are then used to inform the design of the final submarine model. Students use reverse engineering techniques, which involves scanning the design in three dimensions and then creating its mathematical geometry coordinates. Computer-aided manufacturing software is used to build the final model. This is done by a conventional milling machine that controls tool cutting paths to remove material to reveal the final product.
3D Laser Scanning Complex parts can be scanned and converted to 3d models

Parents, students and teachers are encouraged to attend an information evening;
When: Tuesday 28 October 2014
