Spartan Speak Volume 15, Issue 3 Principal's Message We have now reached the halfway point of the first semester and this is the first formal opportunity for parents to see marks for students and the progress with their learning that has taken place. It has been an eventful start to the school year. Due to our enrolment shortfall we reorganized classes a few weeks ago. We appreciate the challenges this has presented for some students and are working hard to support the learning for all those impacted. I certainly hope that the marks on the report card reflect the effort each of you has put in thus far. Shortly students will be selecting courses for the next school year. I encourage you to select courses carefully so as to optimize the chances of getting the program that will allow you to continue to pursue your future destination of choice. This year our school website is being visited more frequently than ever. The website allows you to view information about current events at Lorne Park as well as access to a great deal of critical information about a variety of areas relevant to daily Lorne Park life. The url for our website is: http://lorneparkss.peelschools.org I encourage parents and students to check it out. At this time I would pass along a friendly reminder to all students about arriving to school in time to be prepared for first period class on a daily basis. As we move towards winter weather and an increased number of drivers it is important to remember to arrive between 8:05 and 8:10 to allow time for students to enter the building, get to their lockers and subsequently make it to class by 8:20. This Thursday Nov. 15th is our Semester One parent/teacher interview night. Informal interviews take place from 6 p.m. until 6:30 and scheduled interviews take place from 6:40 until 8:30 p.m.. I would invite all parents to attend and review the progress of your son/daughter this term As well there is a Grade 10 Parent Information Session November 2012 taking place on Thursday in the Lecture Hall from 5:30-6:30 p.m.. As is tradition at LP our extra-curricular programs are also flourishing this fall. A number of our athletic teams have had excellent seasons and at the time of this writing some are still involved in playoffs for the fall sport season. For those who were able to make it out to this year’s Friday Night Lights football games thank you. Your support was helpful for our teams as we won both games of the doubleheader that night. Way to go Spartans. I would also like to draw parent attention to the School Council portion of this newsletter. Our council is working hard to support activities and the learning needs of students here at Lorne Park and have embarked on a fundraising campaign to support these. Please see the details about how you can donate in the School Council section. A reminder to all students to keep up with the many daily and long-term assignments you are currently receiving in your classes. The difference between a mediocre mark and a high mark often is determined in the second half of the semester. Your ability to complete required work in a timely fashion helps keep you prepared for the review and final assessment that will take place at the end of your courses. Best of luck to all in the second half of the semester. K.

Bullying Prevention and Intervention LPSS students and staff are working to find ways to diminish bullying at LPSS. As such, during the month of September the LP mentors worked with grade nine students to let them know that bullying is not tolerated at LPSS. The Mentors worked with all grade 9 students in order to inform them of what constitutes bullying, guide them as to what to do if they witness bullying or are bullied and give them the school’s reporting protocol. As a follow-up on Monday Oct. 29th all grade 9 students were invited to participate in a professional interactive bullying prevention and intervention play in the small gym. The SHOWDOWN assembly focused on the different forms that bullying can take and highlighted the harmful effects of cyber bullying. SHOWDOWN examined bullying from a power perspective, revealing that bullies are not looking for a fight but want to exert control over a victim. After watching the play students were invited to become actors themselves and reshape the production through their intervention. During the month of November the LPSS KARMA group – Kids Against Ridicule Meanness and Aggression will also showcase the importance of speaking out against bullying. Here is the direct message to the LPSS community from KARMA : Yearbook is looking for your pictures of LP school life, athletics and recognition ceremonies for the annual Yearbook. You can submit your photo for consideration by the Yearbook editing team and if chosen photo credit will be given if you include your first and last name in the subject line. You submit photos in one of two ways: LPSS Let's Stand Up on Friday, November 16, 2012 Email to : lpsspics@gmail.com or : flickr : lorneparkyearbook As defined by the Ministry of Education, bullying is typically a repeated, persistent and aggressive behaviour directed at an individual or individuals that is intended to cause fear and distress and/or harm to another person's body, feelings, self-esteem or reputation. The K.A.R.M.A. Club is comprised of courageous, empowered students who have made a pledge to make a positive difference in the lives of all students at Lorne Park SS. So get snapping and let’s see what LP can do! To help send a strong message against bullying at Lorne Park Secondary School the Anti-bullying Club has decided to participate in the world wide STAND UP against bullying initiative on Friday, Nov. 16, 2012. 2 We hope that all LPSS students will help us participate in the Stand Up Against Bullying Day by purchasing a pink STOOD UP t-shirt. The t-shirts will be on sale for $10 each all week starting on Monday, Nov. 12. All students who purchase a STOOD UP t-shirt will wear them on Friday, Nov. 16, 2012 to unite against bullying. The inspiration for the day came from the actions of Central Kings Rural High School Grade 12 students Travis Price and David Shepherd who rallied behind a new student to the school who was being bullied simply for wearing pink. The actions of these two young men, along with their fellow students who wore pink to school in support of another student, can show how much of a difference individuals can make. Let's all acknowledge their creative and selfless efforts by relaying a positive message against bullying! ARTS DEPARTMENT DRAMA Drama is off to another great start with a number of initiatives both in and out of class. The Drama Executive has done some great planning in terms of deciding what it's major goals are for the year and they have come up with a variety of activities some of which are the following: a Halloween flash mob in the cafeteria, a Second City Improv workshop and show and the organization of the Talent Show. The group is currently at work developing a sequence for the Remembrance Day Assembly. The Improv Club is meeting every Wednesday at lunch and is being led very well by Victoria Paglialunga and Eleanor Kschischang. Anyone is welcome to drop in and take part. Lorne Park students have been busy writing and re-writing three interesting, dynamic and ambitious plays for the Sears Ontario Drama Festival. Production schedules and event locations are still somewhat tentative but we are forging ahead and auditions for the Sears play will probably be second week of November. I end quoting Robertson Davies: "The drama may be called that part of theatrical art which lends itself most readily to intellectual discussion: what is left is theatre. MUSICAL NOTES – FALL 2012 Awards Assembly This fall has been very busy for the LP Music department. We started the year with performances at the Awards Assembly. Fine performances were heard from Senior Band and Spartan Singers. Congratulations to the many award winners! Saturday Music Retreat VISUAL ARTS The grade 12 Art and Photography classes are preparing for their end of semester Art Show which will be on January 10. Congratulations go out to our Artists of the Month: Noran Riad - Grade 9 Yin Myat - Grade 10 Hee Jin Kim - Art for Beginners Karen Chau - Grade 12. On Saturday, October 13, the LP Music Exec hosted a pancake brunch and teambuilding games for the Junior Band before they performed at the Junior football game. Students worked hard, had fun and played their teams on to victory, showing their true Spartan spirit! The LP Music Exec also hosted a pancake brunch for students in Spartan Singers, followed by teambuilding activities and a rehearsal. A great day of fun was had by all! 3 Vocal Music Class News On October 24 the Vocal Music class welcomed special guest Lindsay Kramer. Ms. Kramer is a professional musical theatre actress and choreographer who came to Lorne Park to do a 3 hour choreography workshop with the class. Their work will be showcased at the vocal class concert on Thurs. Nov. 29, where the song that they worked on with Ms. Kramer, "42nd Street" will open the concert. The class will also perform other songs from the musical theatre genre with all proceeds from the evening going to support a local charity. Please come to the show on Thurs. Nov. 29 at 7:00 pm in the small gym. The vocal class recently travelled to Toronto to attend a performance of the energetic disco gospel show, "Sister Act." A song from the show will be presented at our concert. Toronto Symphony Trip Instrumental music students visited Roy Thompson Hall in early November to see and hear the Toronto Symphony perform a concert featuring some of the most beautiful pieces of Spanish Classical music. The concert was a wonderful celebration of Spanish culture. Fundraising This fall, LP Music students will be raising money through three fundraising events: The Vocal Class Bake Sale – On Thurs. Nov. 15 the vocal music class will be having a bake sale! Students can purchase goodies at lunch in the front foyer, and parents can help support the program by purchasing baked goods in the evening at Parents' Night; Oranges, Grapefruit and Tangerines – from November 26 to November 30, students will be selling delicious Florida oranges, grapefruit and tangerines to raise money towards a Digital Music Recording Lab. All forms and money are due by Friday, November 30th. Gift Cards families can purchase gift cards for a wide variety of retailers (including all major grocery stores and gas stations) at cost – but each time you buy a card, a percentage of the card’s value is donated back to the school to help fund a new Digital Music Recording Lab. It’s a win-win fundraiser! Gift cards will be available for sale through student order forms. Check www.fundscrip.com for further information about the program. The fundraiser launches on Monday, November 26th. See any music student or teacher if you are interested in purchasing any of our fundraising items!

All auditioning students are reminded to arrive well in advance of their scheduled audition times. Acceptance letters will be distributed as soon as they are received by the school. Good luck to all! Remembrance Day Senior Band and the vocal music class provided the musical backdrop to this year’s Remembrance Day assemblies on Friday, November 9. Their performances were both moving and respectful of the sombre occasion. Winter Music Night Mark your calendars - Music Night is fast approaching! We will hold this year’s performance on Thursday, December 13th at 7:00 P.M. in the small gym. Tickets will be available soon. We hope to see you there. Le Conseil Francais The LP “conseil français” has been meeting regularly to plan French events and activities for all LPSS students. Currently we are working on a production of “Le Sorcier d’Oz”. Auditions have been taking place during the first week of November. We also meet as a French council to dialogue in French and do French improv. If you’re interested in getting involved check out the event notices outside of room 203 and/or speak with Mme Poirier or Mme McGregor. 4 C00PERATIVE EDUCATION Course Selection Cooperative Education students are currently completing their 7th week at their work placements. Students must spend a total of 15 weeks at work. They will learn valuable work-related skills, gain experience in an area of their interest, and earn high school credits. Students in the program have the chance to explore the world of work as they examine and evaluate their post-secondary career paths. A new addition to our Co-op Program has been the Ministry of Education initiative known as DUAL CREDIT PROGRAMS which are aimed at helping students succeed in school and complete their diploma requirements. Students are permitted to take college or apprenticeship courses and use those credits for both their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and towards a post-secondary certificate. There are two students from Lorne Park currently enrolled in the Dual Credit Program at Sheridan College at the Skills Training Centre. They are both taking courses in the trades such as construction, plumbing and electrical. Their instructors are experts in their respective fields and the facility is very well equipped with the latest tools and technology. If you have any questions about the Lorne Park Co-op Program , please drop by the Guidance and Career Education office and see Ms. Edmonds (or) visit the Lorne Park website. Course Selection begins in December. This is one of the most important tasks your son or daughter will complete this year. The success of each student relates directly to the appropriateness of the program he or she has chosen. It is essential that your son or daughter is in the right program on their first day of classes in September. It is through the strength of the Parent-Student-Teacher partnership that good decisions are made. As the adults in this partnership we need to help our children make appropriate programming choices. We understand the course selection process happens very early in the school year. This year it will begin on Monday, December 3 and conclude on Thursday, January 10. Our students are faced with making choices without having had an opportunity to experience the academic challenges of their semester two program. Listed below are some guidelines to help make this process run as smoothly as possible. Responsibilities of the Guidance Counsellors: 1. Meet with students in group settings to impart grade appropriate course selection information. This will take place during the week of December 3 to 7. 2. Post the grade specific PowerPoint Presentations on the Guidance page of the Lorne Park website. 3. Meet with students upon their request to discuss the appropriateness of their choices. 4. Allow students to make change-of-mind course changes until June 1. Please see Students Requesting Timetable Changes page 9 of the Student Agenda for a description of the process. Responsibilities of the Parents: 1. Be involved in your child’s Course Selection Process by viewing the online PowerPoint Presentations and reading the course descriptions from the Common Course Calendar both found on the Guidance page of the Lorne Park website. 5 2. Review the courses selected by your son or daughter to determine if they address your son or daughter's learning strengths. If your son or daughter likes to be active have them choose courses where the majority of the program involves hands-on learning activities, presentations and projects. Be sure to have your son or daughter print off the computer generated course selection report. It will require a parent signature. This report will be collected in the Guidance Office. Due date is Friday, January 11. 3. Encourage your son or daughter to do their research. This is explained in the student responsibilities section below. 4. Contact your son or daughter's Guidance Counsellor to discuss your programming concerns prior to the January 11 due date. If your child's programming needs change after that date, please be sure to contact us before June 1. Do not wait until September and be disappointed. It may be too late then to accommodate necessary programming needs. Do keep in mind though, we realize life is not perfect and things happen over the summer - things we cannot foresee. Please do call us the last week of August to discuss these types of issues. Responsibilities of the Student: 1. Attend the group presentations given by the Guidance Counsellors during the week of December 3 to 7. If you are absent, view the PowerPoint Presentation on the Guidance page of the Lorne Park website. 2. Attend the course selection information fair on Friday December 7, 12:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. in the small gym to get information about the courses being offered for next year. 3. Speak to the teachers to find out what topics are being studied. Be sure you are interested in the type of material covered in the course. To find this out in September will be too late. Be aware of your own learning styles and strengths. Choose courses that address your strengths and not your weaknesses. If you do not enjoy working in groups or making presentations then do not choose courses that require these skill sets. 4. Grade 10 and 11 students should begin their post secondary research to determine university and college program requirements. Be sure you select the appropriate prerequisite courses. 5. Make an appointment to see your counsellor if you have concerns about your program, your level of study or if you need post secondary information. Address all of your concerns before June 1. It will be too late to make changes in September if you wait until the summer to do your research. Help us help your child realize his or her dreams for the future. Semester 2 Course Change Protocol Students must see a counsellor to discuss all course changes. Students who need to make any changes to their semester 2 program have until January 15 to discuss the change with their counsellor. This course change information is written in the student agenda page 9. University Applications Graduating students will be notified by the Guidance Office as soon as their Access Codes from the Ontario University Application Centre (OUAC) arrive sometime in late November or early December. Once students have their Access Codes they may apply to Ontario universities on-line at www.ouac.on.ca/101 . Students will also be given an instruction sheet on the university application process. An application tutorial will be held for interested students during a lunch session in early December. The deadline for applying to Ontario universities is January 16, 2013. Students are encouraged to apply early as the processing of the applications becomes slow near the deadline date due to volume of use. College Applications Students interested in applying to Ontario colleges may pick up a copy of the Ontario College Reference Guide and the Find a Program in the Guidance Office. Applicants are reminded that they must have their O.E.N. (Ontario Education Number) to apply to an Ontario college. The O.E.N. number is listed on the student report card. Access to the online college application can be found at ontariocolleges.ca. When a 6 student completes an online application, an application number will be assigned to them electronically. This number is a unique identifier that enables Ontario College Application Service (OCAS) to track their application so they are advised to make note of it and keep it in a safe place. A payment of $95 must accompany a student application. Students are encouraged to check college websites and calendars for program-specific admission requirements. Links to colleges can be found at ontariocolleges.ca/find. Students may select up to five programs with no more than three program choices at any one college. Applicants should list their choices in order of preference. Deadline to apply is February 1, 2013 for equal consideration. Night School Registration forms for semester two Night School will be available in the Guidance Office in January. Only students who need a course not available at Day School will be given permission to attend Night School. Students enrolled at Night School are still expected to remain as full time day school students. Peel Board Night School midterm grades will be sent to OUAC/OCAS along with semester two day school midterm marks. Students taking Night School courses through the DPCDSB must see their counsellor, to have their midterm marks sent to OUAC/OCAS. Students taking courses outside the Peel District School Board The Guidance Office does not provide the Ontario Colleges’ Application Service or the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre with registration information or mark updates for courses taken outside PDSB. This is the responsibility of the institution where the student is taking the course. Upon completion of the course, students must provide an official transcript, to the Guidance Office to have their records updated. Grade 10 Parent Information Session on Course Selection Parents of grade 10 students are invited to attend an Information Session on Course Selection. It will be held November 15 (Parents' Night) in the Lecture Hall from 5:30 – 6:15 p.m. FROM SPECIAL EDUCATION IEPs IEPs (Individual Education Plans) for all Accommodated and Enhanced students were attached to the student’s October early progress report. Parents are reminded to review the ‘Plan’ and sign and return the Parent/Student Consultation Form to counselling.
