She Leads High Conference
BE INFORMED, TAKE ACTION, LEAD CHANGE
On Friday 13 May, nine Year 9 students and Ms Buesnel atended the
YWCA Adelaide She Leads Conference High School, which was held in the
Stamford Plaza Hotel, Adelaide. The event was sponsored by the City of
Mitcham. This forum aims to promote leadership in young women, and
give them conidence to ind their voice and place in the world.
The day began with a welcome from the Chief Execuive of YWCA Adelaide,
which was followed by a simulaing speech by Amanda Grocock. She spoke
about her journey to become a leader, from high school to achieving the
posiion of General Manager at Rundle Mall Management Authority. Next,
there was a panel discussion, focusing on women who challenge gendered
stereotypes by pursuing non-tradiional roles within their organisaions.
This allowed us to discover more about their lives and work experiences,
and especially those concerning their gender.
On the panel was Jess Wooley from SA Power Networks, Major Gen Ruger,
who is an Australian army oicer and helicopter pilot, Constable Lauren
Fisher from the Australian Police, and Alexandra Grzywacz, who is a
boilermaker and welder for the Australian Submarine Corporaion.
Aterwards, we broke into groups to listen to diferent speakers who
explained how they pursued their leadership goals, as well as how they
found and use their voices. The highlight of the day was keynote speaker
Khadija Gbla, who passionately discussed a global perspecive of the issues
and struggles that females face, and how she overcame her personal ones.
She inspired us with her conidence and determinaion to help others with
facing similar maters.
The conference was ended by Dr Susan Close MP, who talked about looking
ahead to the future as a young woman and reminded us to, ‘Say yes to
opportunity’. In all, the day was interesing and exciing, and each of us
learned a lot.

Meet the Business Leader Conference
On Monday 23 May, Charlote Beck, Nathaniel
Ramesh and Ms Buesnel, atended the annual
Meet the Business Leader Conference in the Ian
McLachlan Room at the Adelaide Oval. Over
350 people atended the event with 29 schools
being represented. As well as giving us the
opportunity to network with other schools we
were able to hear from a number of Chartered
Accountants or Chartered Accountants-to-be.
The event started with an ice breaker, the Eifel
Tower Challenge, where we had to collaborate
with other students at our table as a team and
make a model of the Eifel Tower. The acivity
taught us how important teamwork and people
skills are in the accouning profession. We also
had a speaker’s panel, where ive Chartered
Accountants at diferent stages in their careers
told us about the opportuniies and skills you will get as a “modern-day
accountant”. The event also highlighted the fact that Indigenous accountants
only make up 0.1% of the whole profession in Australia and that there is a
strong push for more young Indigenous people to join the industry. We had
the chance to speak with some professionals on a more personal basis as they
were rotaing table hosts, all of whom were in diferent areas of accouning.
It was very interesing to talk to one of our table hosts, Tommy Pavic, the Chief
Financial Oicer of the Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority who
reinforced to us how important it is to follow our passion. Overall it was a very
informaive and enriching experience, which further encouraged us to explore
a career in business.

United Naions South Australian Conference 2016
On Friday 8 to Sunday 10 April, I atended
the annual UN Youth State Conference
at the Nunyara Conference Centre. This
year, the conference focused on Gender
Equality. Former Supreme Court Jusice, The
Honourable Robyn Layton, delivered the
keynote opening address on her experience
within the gender equality ield.
Throughout the Conference, there were
muliple workshops that centred on what
gender is, the history of the gender equality
movement and what modern day gender
equality looks like. We also discussed other
issues that young Australians care about,
such as climate change, internaional
security, economic equality and mental
health. One of the highlights of the event
was the Interacive Problem Solving acivity
that was based on the First Congo War,
where separate teams of difering sides had
an aim to take over or retain government.
During the Speakers’ Panel, we were lucky
enough to hear from: Kelly Vincent MLC of
the Dignity for Disability Party, transgender
acivist Jenny Scot, White Ribbon
ambassador Hamish Richardson and Sandy
Marion of Amnesty Internaional. All of
the speakers menioned the importance of
standing up for not only gender equality, but
also the rights of minority groups that have
unequal representaion.
On the last day of the conference, we debated the Model UN resoluions regarding Women in Conlict, Bodily
Autonomy and a hypotheical crisis of extremist pro and ani feminist riots. Overall, it was an immersive,
informaive and exciing weekend. I met many new people and had a fantasic ime. If you have the opportunity
to atend future UN Youth events, I would strongly recommend doing so.

Performance and Workshop by Alessandro Gavello
Alessandro Gavello is an entertaining performer whose work is capivaing and humorous. He switches
between characters with ease, his acions and words bringing atenion to his professionalism.
The audience was engaged, their
laughter ringing throughout the
auditorium on Tuesday 17 May. The
audience itself was made up of over
70 Year 8 students as well as the
Year 10, 11 and 12 Drama classes.
During this performance, there were
imes when volunteers were called
for and many students were willing
to jump out their seats and give it
a try, the Year 8s in paricular. The
performance was thrilling, and for
the Year 8s, it was a new experience
which is not granted very oten. The
Drama Department kindly paid for the performance and it was worth every penny to watch the students
interact and perform as an audience as well as to
show enthusiasm for the arts. All reviews from the
Years 8, 10, 11 and 12s were posiive and most have
menioned possibly being able to do it again.
Ater the performance, the Year 10, 11 and 12
Drama students paricipated in a workshop that
was run by Alessandro himself. He briely went
over the history and characters in Commedia dell’
Arte before beginning to explain certain characters
in further depth. He delved into the life of Zanni, a
character who is the slave and lowest in the food
chain, who is always hungry for food, his nose
always sniing the air to catch a whif of that which
he cannot have. Ater this it was ‘the lovers’, who,
as their name states, are full of love though as these characters are further developed, it is understood that
their love is not for the other but for the very idea
of love. These characters are but few in the world
known as ‘Commedia dell’ Arte’ which the Year 10
classes are currently studying in depth.
This producion was a highlight for the year,
fascinaing and thrilling for every student who
had the opportunity to see it. From the students
in Blackwood High School, we thank the Drama
Department for giving us this wonderful opportunity.
We also thank Gavello himself for coming to our
school to perform and teach. It was a performance
like no other.

2016 sees Blackwood High School re-enter
the ield of compeiive debaing through
the Debaing Associaion of South Australia’s
2016 Schools’ Compeiion. This year we have
entered more teams than ever before, with two
Year 9 teams, a Year 10 team and two Senior

are relaively inexperienced, whereas the Year 9
teams contains our veteran debaters.
In Round 1 we debated a range of topics, and
the learning curve was steep, to say the least.
The Year 9 team argued for the proposiion that
traic ines should be based on income, while
the Year 10 team argued that it was crunch
ime for Apple and the FBI, and that the former
should break its phone for the US authoriies.
The Senior Blue and Green teams took on a
more complex discussion around the need to
amend Secion 18C of the Racial Discriminaion
Act.
All ive Blackwood teams delivered impressive
performances, presening well-structured
and coherent discussions. Adjudicators and
audience members gave high praise to our
students. Whilst we didn’t win this irst round,
this was undoubtedly a successful irst foray
for the bulk of our speakers, and provided our
experienced members a gentle reconnecion
with the program.

Year 10 World Outdoors Camp
During Week 4 the students in the Year 10 World Outdoors class
took part in a two day rock climbing and bushwalking camp. Most
of the semester has been spent preparing for the trip focusing
on cooking on trangias, how to set up tents and doing pracice
walks.
The irst day saw us abseiling and climbing a range of climbs on
the bluf at Victor Harbor. This was quite a picturesque place to
climb with the sea behind us and dolphins diving in and out of
the waves. The abseiling was a bit dauning with a sheer clif to
abseil down. Many students found it interesing to go over the
edge and then have to deal with a cut in the rock, meaning there
was no where to put their feet.
The night was spent camping at Chookarloo Campsite in Kuitpo
Conservaion Park where the students cooked their own meals
ranging from noodles to pizza pockets. Despite some rain during
the night, we woke to a clear morning which allowed us to set of
on the Heysen Trail for the bushwalking part of our camp. Seing
a cracking pace, the class managed to walk 10 km before the rain
returned to put an end to our camp.
Thank you to Adrienne Kajewski and Wally Olenich for their help in coordinaing and running this camp
