9-12 SUB SCHOOL REPORT

The end to another very busy term is here and I think everybody deserves a well-earned break, well most of us anyway. Our Year

12 students have approximately 4 weeks to prepare for exams.

Most of our VCE teachers are making themselves available at some time over the holidays; the times have been distributed to the students.

At the end of each year, all Year 12 students are presented with a Leavers Manual. The information in the manual is a combination of information gathered by the school and students and references from teachers. Some students have not handed in their information and they can still get this to Raelene at the

General Office ASAP. This is a very useful document for all school leavers.

Year 9 students were presented this week with the options available to them in 2013 as Year 10 students. VCE jump-up subjects, Vocational Education and Training (VET) and School

Based Apprenticeships (SBA) are the accelerated choices that we offer and they received information and factsheets about subjects and courses available to them. Student must return the interest form by Friday October 12 th or earlier to enable planning and course enrolments.

5-8 SUB SCHOOL REPORT

 Our year 7 & 8 Junior Park Rangers have enjoyed a successful term. The weather finally was kind to them last Thursday morning, so our Junior Rangers headed into the Bay of Islands Coastal Park to conduct a little track maintenance near The Well. Students went through a safety introduction for the use of various tools with Ranger Trev, and signed on as volunteers. The work was followed up with a quick walk to the ocean and an investigation of the aboriginal midden at the site. A fun day was had by all.

P-4 SUB-SCHOOL REPORT

With tomorrow being our last day of school for Term 3, I would like to thank all of our wonderful P-4 staff and students for all of their work during what has been a busy and exciting term at our school. A big thanks also needs to go to all of our parents who have supported us by attending special days, assisting with various school programs and supporting your child/ren’s learning, both at school and at home. Some of the highlights from Term 3 at Timboon P-12 have included

Hooptime Basketball competitions for our Year 3 and 4 students.

 Our very successful P-6 Mini-Olympics.

 National Literacy and Numeracy Week celebrations, including our Open morning.

 The Prep Water Familiarisation sessions, at Aquazone.

 Our Olympics, Day and night, Space and Australia curriculum themes.

Our Grade 1 and 2 students are looking forward to finishing the

Term with a celebration of their Space theme, by having an

‘Aliens and Astronauts’ day tomorrow. The students will be dressing up as Aliens or Astronauts, as well as participating in some special games and activities throughout the day.

Students are encouraged to continue with their home reading over the holidays and to take up the opportunity to practise their numeracy skills, by using the Mathletics program. I hope that all of our students and their families have a wonderful break over the next two weeks, we look forward catching up again at the start of next term.

P-4 SUB-SCHOOL LEADER

Recently Grade 2C received a large plasma monitor for our classroom that was kindly donated from the local Origin Energy gas plant. Whilst some of our class and visitors have thought that our monitor is just a big TV screen we have been able to make it so much more. We sat down and thought about what is great about having a monitor in our room and put all the reasons into many of the thank you cards we wrote to Origin.

Here are some of the things we said.

"Origin energy, thank you for the screen... We can connect the iPad to it and watch videos" Johanna McKenzie.

"Origin Energy, thank you for the television, you can write things on it, you can watch space movies and you can play an app called Sparklefish, you can go on the computer and look at things... You can look at photos and videos" Emily Delaney.

"It is good having a big screen in our room because we can play apps... and read a big book" Lola McDonald.

"So now that we have our big screen we can watch awesome apps and read big books from NASA and we can Sparklefish and

Mr C can connect his iPad to it so a big round of applause for

Origin Energy" Lucy Jones.

"What is good about us having a monitor in our room is... We can play Sparklefish, we can watch space stuff like the aurora australis, we can go on apps from the iPad" Poppy Haugh.

"Dear Origin Energy, with our big screen we can play Sparklefish.

We can look at the sun on the NASA website. We can read big books in the morning on the big screen" Olivia Stupple.

"Thank you for the big screen because we can play Maths Bingo,

Sparkelfish and NASA kids" Rachel.

"Thank you for the big screen. Now we can play apps like

Sparklefish. We can play Maths bingo and watch planets and

NASA on the big screen" Melinda Croft.

"Thanks for the big screen. We can learn lots of things like Maths

Bingo, story books, NASA, films and photos. We love the screen"

Iagan McKenzie.

"Thank you for the big screen. Now we can play Sparkelfish and watch space videos. We can look at big books" Henry Stansfield.

"With the TV we can now see what's on Mr Clarke's computer and the iPad. We can all play Sparklefish and lots of other apps like: the NASA app, Maths bingo and all the other apps on the iPad" Pera Da Ros

LEGAL STUDIES EXCURSION

JWARD AND ARADALE

On Friday the 31 st of August year 11 and 12 Legal Studies and

Psychology students travelled to Ararat. Despite constant drizzle and bitter cold they found the old Aradale mental hospital a memorable one.

“Aradale was creepy because after they closed it didn’t clean it out completely and everything was the same”.

“Aradale seemed to be a very harsh place. The morgue in particular was Scary”.

Afterwards students visited J Ward which has been both a general prison and a prison for the criminally insane.

“J Ward was good because we got to try on a straight jacket”.

“J Ward was really interesting; you could really see and imagine how the prison functioned”.

“J Ward was great, I liked it that there was a lot of evidence in the yard through the prisoner’s drawings”.

On Monday September the 10 th Year 11 Legal Studies students attended the P.A.R.T.Y. Program in Warrnambool. This is a day run by the Alfred Hospital to make students aware of the different outcomes that can result from risk taking. Students were able to see what an ICU bed looks like, hear what happens to trauma victims when treated by ambulance and in hospital, and experience what some of the neck and back braces felt like.

They also talked to many of the medical professionals involved and were able to meet a victim who is paralysed from the neck down. All students gained a lot from this day.

Cultural Performance

16th October

If you haven’t paid the cultural levy please forward $5 to the office by the 12th October.

Tips for parents to ensure their family has a safe online experience over the holidays

Only allow an electronic device (iPod touch, iPad, Nintendo DS, phone, netbook, laptop, desktop) to be used in a public place.

For example in the kitchen while you are cooking a meal with the screen facing you.

When you go to bed, turn off electronic devices (this includes their phone) your children own and take them into your bedroom. They can get them back off you in the morning. You have the power to say, ‘No’.

Make time to have conversations with your children about their favourite online places. Become their friend on Facebook.

Set time limits for electronic devices. For example, 20 minutes a day. Then turn them off and put them in a safe place.

Blogs. What is a Blog? A Blog is a weblog. A weblog is a log of information that can be viewed, added to and shared. Mrs

McMeel’s grade 3s Blogged with Madi who recently was holidaying in Thailand. Blogging was a great way for Madi to stay connected with her teacher and class mates. Well done to 3M!

Below are some of 3M’s opinon’s on Blogging.

I think Blogs are great because they help you to keep in touch with people that are on holidays for a long time and a long way away. It is fun because you don’t just get to read, you can also write back to them. By Julia

I think this blog is a great idea because we get to keep in touch with Madi. I have been learning about Thailand. I read that Madi has been on an elephant ride. The best part is that they have two seasons each year. A rainy season and a sunny season. It is the rainy season now. By Kendyl

If Madi sends us letters they would be very late but with a blog we can find out what she’s doing when she posts it. It’s a spectacular way to keep in contact. By Caprice.

I think a blog is a good idea. We can talk to Madi and learn about

Thailand, and all the fruits and animals and drinks. By Hamish

I think the Blog is a good way to hear what Madi is doing.

When we ask Madi something about Thailand, she can answer us. She has told us about the caves we asked her about.

Someone asked if she had seen any monkeys and Madi said she had seen lots of monkeys. Madi told us about the elephant ride and the food and the mango milkshakes. Madi can hear what we have been doing. By Tahnee.

Morning Mrs Mc, the blog is a really good way to keep in touch. I can show other people what I've been doing, I can talk to people that send me messages, and it is a good way to keep a record of what I've been doing. Heading to Cambodia today, 4 hours on a bus then a border crossing and another 4 hours to Siem reap.

Will blog again soon. Miss you all. Madi.

Blogging can be done through the Ultranet, Edublogs,

Wordpress, Glogster and many more. When Blogging, please consider your digital footprint. What is said online, stays online, forever!

Thank you for reading. Kane Horwill eLearning
