PRINCIPALS REPORT




We have had a very busy term 1 2015, and I am
sure we will all enjoy the school holiday break.
I would like to recognise the efforts of our staff,
students and parents who have managed and
supported a number of key events and hosted
visitors to our school. These events have
included:



Harmony day – thanks to Ms Issa and Ms
Armont for their leadership, and Ms Jouni
for co-ordinating the parent helpers and
local community business donations. This
event would not have been successful
without our amazing parents and
generous sponsors.
Year 6 Open Day – thanks to Mr Garrido
and Ms Cameron for their organisation,
and our ensemble students for promoting
our school in a very exciting positive way
SOLES (self organised learning
environments) – congratulations to Ms
King, Mr White and Ms Nguyen for their
success in presenting this at a state
conference this term and organising


external teacher visits to observe our
teachers delivering this to students. This
highlights some of the amazing work our
teachers are doing in providing excellent
learning opportunities.
‘Beyond the Bridge’ student teacher visits
from Sydney University – thanks to Mr
Woollams for managing this.
School Photos – thanks Mr Woollams
Commencement of student tutoring
sessions on Thursdays by UWS student
teachers – thanks Mr Woollams for
organising this and Ms Jouni for
contacting parents to get support and
permission for students to be involved
‘Links to Learning’ – I’m sure the boys
involved in this program will join me in
thanking Ms Kassapakis
Student Immunisations – thanks Ms Fares
‘Helmsman’ – The girls from year 10 have
had their first sailing session with Ms
Tsaloukas and will be excitedly preparing
for their second sailing trip early next
term.
The teachers at Granville South Creative and
Performing Arts High School are very committed
to success and are involved in many activities
beyond their class teaching responsibilities. We
understand that there are times when parents
would like to speak with staff and this is
encouraged. I ask that parents please respect the
professional responsibilities of our staff and make
arrangements through the front office to book
appropriate times and dates for either phone
conversations or face to face meetings. If you can
provide an outline of the reason for your request,
staff can prepare information and ensure matters
can be addressed appropriately.

FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/Granvillesouthcreativeandperformingartshighschool
I also ask parents to respect and support our
school policy on student phone use. Students
have been reminded of appropriate phone use at
school. This includes the expectation that phones
are ‘off and out of sight’ in the classroom and
during school events such as assemblies. There
have been a number of incidents where students
are refusing to follow this expectation even after
multiple reminders, interrupting the teaching and
learning that is expected to take place. At
Granville South Creative and Performing Arts High
School, this is considered a breach of student
behaviour expectations.
We recognise that the world of learning is
changing and technology is integral to this world,
a very different place to that of schooling in the
past. Last year Ms King prepared a BYOD policy
and a requirement for parents and students to
sign an agreement to allow use of technology
such as phones for educational purposes only.
This was provided to students currently in year
10. We will be providing a BYOD agreement for
students and parents to sign through this year.
This agreement will enable students with parent
permission to use a device as directed by
teachers for educational purposes only. Until this
time, students are expected to have phones ‘off
and out of sight’ at all times in class and events
such as assemblies.
We also have a duty of care responsibility for
students and as such, communication between
students and parents or family needs to be
considerate of this duty of care and appropriate
phone use expectations. If parents or family and
students need to correspond this cannot be done
in class or during events such as assemblies. We
can give permission for students to use their
phones to contact parents or family, but this
must be done in consultation with executive
teachers and/or office staff, at an appropriate
time.
We have been working on ways of improving
communication with parents and have now had
our Facebook and electronic signage for nearly 12
months. Both have been received well by our
community. Feedback on what you would like
added to these forms of communication can be
given to Ms King.
Our attendance team led by Mr Nagi have
significantly reduced lateness to school and we
appreciate the efforts of our parents in
supporting this. I would also like to acknowledge
the work of Ms Leiva who has been working on
procedures to improve management and
notification to parents of concerns with
attendance, including whole day and truancy.
Parents have been included in reviewing these
processes and we know that we will also get
parent support as we implement these
procedures next term.
In closing my message for this newsletter, I would
like to personally thank Ms Leiva for her support
and work at Granville South Creative and
Performing Arts High School as Deputy Principal.
She has made very strong connections with staff,
student and parents and will be missed.
Enjoy the holidays.

DEPUTY PRINCIPALS REPORT
Deputy Principal
Mr Price
s we near the end of term 1 I would like to take
the opportunity of reminding both students and
their families of the importance of pedestrian
safety at the end of the school day. Students are
required to leave the school via. the pedestrian
gate only. No student should walk through the
upper carpark. This carpark is strictly out of
bounds for obvious safety reasons. Students
catching buses are reminded that they should line
up inside the gate nearest the bus bay and await
the directions of the Head Teacher on duty.
A number of students leave via the gate at the
back of the school. Please watch for traffic, use
the designated crossing and walk directly across
the road. On rare occasions the gate may not
have been unlocked due to unforeseen
circumstances. If this is the case, students are not
to climb over the fence under any circumstances.
Once again this is for safety reasons as well as
respecting the privacy of our neighbours.
Students have been advised on assembly that a
staff member will open the gate if the front office
is informed it is locked.
It is also timely to remind parents and students
who drive of safe driving practices outside the
school. Road use laws are designed to ensure the
safety of all, and special laws apply in and around
schools during school time. It is against the law to
double park near a pedestrian crossing, block
traffic, pick up students in a no-parking or nostanding zone or do a u-turn across the double
lines outside the school. There are also strict
speed limits in school zones. The police and
council rangers have indicated that patrols of
school zones are conducted regularly to monitor
driving habits and issue infringement notices. I
encourage parents to pick up students further up
Rowley Rd, or at the back of the school so as to
ease traffic congestion directly at the front of the
school.
May I take this opportunity to wish our students
and school community a safe and relaxing
holiday.
Mr T Price,
Deputy Principal

excursion which has been planned for Term 2,
2015. Modern History students have debated the
veracity of theories on the assassination of JFK
and the broader implication of such debates for
the study of history.
A huge welcome back to all our students to a
wonderful start to the 2015 school year. Students
have been working diligently in HSIE subjects this
term and developing their skills in a range of
areas. Year 7 Geography students have been
investigating the world and will be going on a
thrill packed excursion to Blue Mountains next
term while Year 8 History students have been
going back in time to study about Medieval
Europe.
Year 9 Geography students have been polishing
their skills on Australia’s physical environment
while Year 9 History students have been learning
about the movement of people around the world.
Year 10 Geography students have been engaged
in an analysis of geographical issues including
coastal management and they have evaluated the
strategies that could be implemented to manage
these issues whereas in History they have been
focusing on the rights and freedoms of people
around the world.
While all of this has been going on, the HSIE
teachers have been applying Literacy and
Numeracy strategies to assist our students with
their reading, writing and when solving historical
or geographical problems involving numbers.
For the first time students will be sitting for their
HSC in Studies of Religion and we are anticipating
some good results. Yr 12 Retail Services students
are busy finalising their work placements which
will commence next term. Yr 12 Business Studies
students have been participating really well in
class and are also preparing for their excursion to
Sydney Tower Restaurant early next term as part
of their Marketing topic and also to finish off
their Yr 12 Business Studies in style. Our Year 12
students have undertaken their Half Yearly
Examinations and they are planning ahead for
further strategies for improvement in their work.
We encourage them to remain consistent and
diligent over the next two terms in preparation
for the HSC examinations in October this year. I
would like to take this opportunity to thank all
the HSIE staff for their hard work this term.

Lawn Bowls Gala Day
On Friday the 20th March Andre Ulavalu,
Mesuilame Vea-Williams, Kohlahse Cherrington
and Ian Norman represented the school at the
NSW CHS Lawn Bowls gala day. The boys turned
up to a chilly morning at Glenbrook Bowling Club
with little to no experience in the sport.
As part of their HSIE stage 6 program, students
have been studying Ancient Civilisations and were
given the opportunity to view this private
collection of ancient artefacts donated by the late
Sir Charles Nicholson; a past Chancellor of the
University.
Ian Norman led the team through 5 games
throughout the day only going down to Model
Farms High School in the first game. The boys
then motored throughout the day winning the 4
remaining games to finish up 3rd overall on the
day.
Students were given the opportunity to view a
real mummified Egyptian; along with their highly
decorated casket, fragments of Egyptian tiles and
transcripts.
Not only did our students get the rare
opportunity to view ancient Egyptian artefacts
but they were also able to view ancient Roman
sculptures, Grecian Urns and Ancient Battle wear.
After the visit at the Museum, year 11 and 12
students were taken around the grounds of the
University to appreciate and experience
University life for the day. This included
graduation day, having lunch at the University
The skill and talent of the boys was identified and
they were accordingly invited to compete as the

Open Boys Volleyball
A tough game was witnessed by spectators
watching our boys taking on Greystanes High
School. Our boys put up a good fight evening up
the sets at 1-1 after the second set. This meant a
decider in the third set and after a tough 30
minutes we went down to Greystanes losing 3433 in the third set.
Open Girls Softball
Open Girls Soccer
The open girls’ soccer team played in their first
round competition game against James Ruse High
School. The girls took an early lead thanks to a
brilliant goal from Brodie Dillon slamming a great
through ball from Farous Nghath into the top of
the net. Unfortunately we conceded a last minute
equaliser from the opposition which forced the
game into Penalty Shootouts. With an
outstanding performance in goals Raven-Lee
Kairua didn’t let the team down and put up an
amazing fight pulling off some brilliant saves. We
eventually went down 3-2 on penalties.
For the first time we fielded a girls softball team
thanks to Miss Zahra from the English faculty. A
team formed and trained with enthusiasm and
fire in the bellies. Unfortunately the girls lost their
first round match, however there were lots of
laughs to be had by all.
Open Boys Soccer
The open boys’ soccer team played their
competition opener against Merrylands High
School. With a lot of Prospect Zone soccer players
in the opposition team this game was always
going to be a challenge. Due credit goes to our
boys for playing well as a team coming away with
a 3-1 win over Merrylands. They moved into the
second round against Wyndham College. Again
the boys played really well as a team with some
individual brilliance from Ahmad Al Mansure and
Ali Rifahi who scored the equaliser in the second
half. This game went to penalty shootouts, just
like our girls teams and unfortunately went down
3-2 on penalties.
Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals
Our annual school cross country carnival will be
held on Friday the 1st of May at Campbell Hill
Reserve. If the day is spoiled by rain student will
