PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
JAPANESE EXCHANGE STUDENTS
Seventeen Japanese exchange students and
a tutor attended our College and lived with
host families in recent weeks. This has been a
highly successful initiative and provided our
College community with so many memorable
experiences. The Japanese students, without
exception, have been extremely respectful
and courteous and gained a better
understanding of the Australian way of life and
the English language. I would like to
acknowledge the effort and commitment of
Manuela Felicetti and Nikki Carnie in
organising the student exchange. I would also
like to thank all of the host families for opening
up their households and embracing the full
potential of the student exchange program. A
special mention needs to be made of Peter
Fernon who essentially worked as their
teacher and helped the students to learn so
many things including singing Waltzing
Matilda and doing the Hokey-Pokey! To
everyone involved in the Japanese visit –
arigato.
ULTRANET
The pupil free day on Monday 09 August
provided our staff with the opportunity to start
receiving professional development on the
Ultranet. In lieu of being able to get onto the
Ultranet, staff immersed themselves in literacy
planning, wikis and blogs. The Ultranet has
been designed to unlock the full potential of
computer based learning and will be used to
help facilitate partnerships between parents,
students and teachers. More information can
be accessed at the following website:
http://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/directio
ns/ultranet/benefits/parents.htm. (Please note,
the dates provided on the DEECD website for
the rollout of the Ultranet for parents and
students are likely to change)
INTERIM REPORTS AND
PARENT-TEACHER INTERVIES
Term 3 interim reports will be sent home with
students on Tuesday 7th September. The
parent-teacher interviews will be held on
Tuesday 14th September between 4.00pm and
7.00pm. We will be using the online booking
system which will be available for parentsguardians by Monday 6th September.
CONCERT BAND FAMILY NIGHT
Our Concert Band played a short concert of
their repertoire in the DSC Theatre on
Thursday 5 August. The evening was well
attended and the audience thoroughly enjoyed
the high quality performances. So many
people commented on how far the Concert
Band has progressed in recent years and l
would like to thank everyone who has helped
our Concert Band over the years.

10 TIPS FOR KEEPING ON TRACK
Take attendance seriously
When you attend school regularly and get to
class on time you are able to do better and will
be happier at school.
Attend regularly
Have you ever gone into a class and been
embarrassed or feel unsettled because you
can’t figure out what’s going on? Maybe it is
because you missed something important the
day before and now it feels like you have lost
the plot? Once this cycle starts, it’s hard to stop.
Keep the school and teachers in the loop if
you are away
If you are away let the school and teachers
know. When the teachers are aware of your
situation then they can work with you to set up a
plan and they will be more understanding when
you get back to school.
Catch up with class teachers
If you have missed some classes make sure
you see your teachers to find out how to catch
up. They will usually be very understanding and
may even have some short cuts to make it
easier. Teachers are sometimes busy and may
not be able to help straight away, just keep
trying.
Understand your out-of-school programs—
VET,
VCAL,
work
placement,
work
experience, apprenticeships, traineeships
Don’t fall into the trap of getting a bit slack just
because out of school programs seem new and
different. These are part of your normal program
and have attendance requirements just like
school classes.
Be smart
Learn to use a diary to note important days
like assessment days and excursions. Don’t
schedule shopping trips, doctor and dentist
appointments during the school day.
Develop social skills and a friend’s
network
School is a great place to make friends. As
part of this process you will develop important
social and team-work skills.
Become work ready
Understand that school helps you become
work ready. School attendance habits prepare
you for work attendance habits.
Access further education and training
Understand that schools help you prepare for
further education and training. School work
habits prepare you for further education and
training.
Special provision
Remember that if you have explained your
absences it will be easier to have consideration
for disadvantage approved.
Who can you talk to if there is an attendance
problem?
You can talk to your Section Teacher, Year
Level
Coordinator,
Student
Welfare
Coordinator, M.I.P.s Coordinator or Assistant
Principal. You can be referred to a guidance
officer or a social worker if attendance is a
problem for any reason. Talk to the person with
whom you feel most comfortable.

On Thursday 5th August 30 highly motivated

Maths Competition. This competition was a
series of challenging problems which were
attempted over a two periods. I would like to
congratulate these students for extending
themselves and we all wait eagerly for the
results.

teacher know as soon as possible. The
subsidised cost will be $3 per student.
If any of you are expecting Mars to
“look as big as a full moon” later
this month you will be disappointed.
The email being sent around is a hoax.
Mars did come the closest to the Earth
for many years to come in 2003 –
teachers may remember a green Mr
Brooker to celebrate the event! This
set me thinking why anyone would
initiate such a hoax-a conspiracy, a
joke, increased sales for telescopes?
The science department will award a
magnificent prize for what we judge to
be the best reason. Submissions must
be in 50 words or less or be in cartoon
form. Closing date Friday 27th August
and a Mars bar for every entrant.
For more information on any of these look on

Presents
“High School
Spoof-ical”
By Tim Bain & Adrian Szondy
Synopsis
“Welcome to Sweet Valley High, a perfect
world of perfect teens. It’s an all-American
school full of every clique imaginable – jocks,
cheerleaders, eggheads, emos, homies and
even redneck yokels.
Meet Zak Teflon and Vanessa Huggins, two
spotless little angels who are planning to
unleash their extraordinary talents upon the
high school musical. But when a redheaded
exchange student named Rufus arrives on
campus, things suddenly become terribly
undisneyfied. With an upcoming visit from the
American President, can egghead Scarlett
save the day and recapture the Disney spirit?
It’s a musical phenomenon filled with
romance, magic and plain-awful singing! It’s
High School Spoofical!”
Produced with the permission of
Maverick Musicals, 89 Bergann Road, Maleny,
Qld. 4552, AUSTRALIA
HIGH SCHOOL
SPOOF-ICAL
It’s only five weeks till
our
next
fabulous
production. As usual it’s a major
undertaking – over 100 students and
several staff are involved. And as usual
we would welcome any donations of
make-up you might have lying around.
This year we would also enjoy any
donations of accessories – we think this
production needs a lot of bling! Any
donations can be left at the office.
Many thanks.

Music and Performing Arts at VCAM
Getting a place in a training institution like the
Faculty of the VCA and Music (Melbourne Uni) is
competitive. Music courses require a musicianship
test and dance a physiotherapy examination to
ensure that performers can withstand the rigors of
instruction/development involved in their career
(plus VCE/IB requirements). Auditions are part of
the selection process, but a broad understanding of
the arts industry is also required. Prof Kristy
Edmonds, Head of VCAM School of Performing
Arts says “we are looking for students with a high
degree of motivation, discipline and artistic
imagination. In the case of performing artists, the
audition panel will be particularly interested in how
the candidate is able to respond to direction and
creatively interpret material. Dancers require a high
degree of technical proficiency, across ballet and
contemporary movement vocabularies. For
Theatre, the actor needs to be authentically
convincing as a performer, with an understanding of
the meaning and purpose of the text they are
delivering. With Production candidates, a working
knowledge of the passion for the performing arts
disciplines and a clear intent in their own
aspirations is a must”. For information about
courses in art, dance, theatre, film and TV, music
and
production

VCAM
