Principal’s Report

Dear Friends of Emerald High,

Over the half-way mark of the term.

Some great things have happened these past few weeks. Leadership Camp was a huge success and I congratulate all of the students who were involved along with Ms Prior and the staff who coordinated this super event. Selecting leaders next year is going to be difficult with such a quality pool to choose from.

Last Friday night our jazz band students conducted a 'Grooves and Night Moves' event at the school, at which our amazing jazz band performed under lights in our 'sails' area. My very sincere thanks to our super instrumental music teacher, Dana Jones, our 'Bites' team and to our outstanding jazz band students for an exceptional night of fine dining and entertainment.

Some more super student news. Meisha in Year 11 won the ‘Youth 13 -17’ Category at the 2021 Central Highlands Regional Council Annual Art Awards on Friday evening. Her submission was an acrylic and POSCA image celebrating the Moke car, which has personal significance and was skilfully developed on a car bonnet. Sensational work Meisha!

This week is 'Book Week' and I look forward to seeing as many students as possible dressed as their favourite book characters this Friday. It is always a fantastic day - reading is great!!!

Thank you yet again to all parents who continue to support us through ensuring students are in correct uniform and helping us present a quality face to our community. A reminder that students may wear plain black jumpers to school, provided they have no logos or hoods and that local stores have suitable fleecy polo neck and crew neck jumpers in town for between $12 and $20.

I spoke with the students on assemblies last week about using the fact that success at school (and in life) is more a function of the effort and attitude that we bring that to the inherent talent that we may have. I showed the students some data from the last reports that demonstrated that those students who had "Excellent" or "Very Good" for Effort and Behaviour were very likely to at least pass all of their subjects. Those with high levels of attendance were even more likely to do well. Effort, Attitude and Attendance make the difference!!

And finally, a reminder that next Friday (3 September) is a Student Free Day.

Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those you hold well.
- Josh Billings

Have a fantastic fortnight

From the Deputy Principal – Junior School

Week six already, how time flies. I would like to outline some information about how behaviour incidents are managed at the school. You may be aware that in the main office on the wall next to the display board are green and blue forms. The blue form is an incident statement and the green form is a witness statement. Any student in the school is welcome to fill out these forms when necessary. I will outline below the steps I will usually take to deal with a behaviour incident reported on these forms. This is a brief summary of the process, for full details see our Student Code of Conduct available please see our website.

1. Student to approach the main office desk to ask for a clipboard and pen to fill out an incident statement. This usually occurs during lunch times.
2. Student fills out the blue Incident Statement form, this needs to be a true account of what occurred and has ideally already been reported to a teacher.
3. The student may bring a couple of witnesses to the incident with them, they will fill out a green form, this needs to be a true account of what occurred – but only what they witnessed, not what they heard from others.
4. If Deputy Principals are not available, the forms will be given to the office, at next opportunity the Deputy Principal will read the forms handed in and assess the urgency of the incident.
5. If urgent, the Deputy Principal will call students down the original students who wrote the statements and additional students if necessary. If not urgent it may be followed up the next day or may be delegated to a Head of Department or Head of Year to follow up.
6. If a teacher has witnessed the incident, the Deputy Principal will receive a notification of a referral on One School (Behaviour Management Database).
7. All students are permitted at any time to contact their parents participate in the interview process. Deputy Principals may also contact parents at any time during the process but most likely at the conclusion of the incident.
8. Upon reaching a decision based on the available facts (blue and green statements) a consequence will be issued if deemed necessary. This could include: an apology, a detention, litter duty, watering duty, or a suspension. In the event a suspension may be warranted, the Principal will become involved and make an informed decision, parents will be contacted and offered the opportunity to examine the facts and the final consequence will be issued.

The blue and green statement sheets underpin all of our work with behaviour incidents involving students and are important to ensure due process. If you child informs you of an incident that has occurred at school and are not sure how to report it, please encourage them to fill out a blue form and if there is a witness, encourage them to fill out a green form.

In other news, on Tuesday 31/08/21 Rod Hallett from Gideons International is visiting the school to speak with students in Years 7, 8 and 9 at the end of parade. The five-minute information session is not compulsory, students not wishing to hear the message will be asked to go to class. Gideons will be giving out Testaments, they are offered as a FREE gift and there is no obligation to accept one. In Australia over 100,000 School Testaments are accepted by students from the Gideons each year.

If you have any questions regarding Year 6, 7 or 8 students please don’t hesitate to contact me at bvanh2@eq.edu.au

From the Deputy Principal – Senior School

The saying “time waits for no one” is very evident to me at this moment, the term is flying by and I am a passenger on it. 14 more school sleeps till Year 12 mock exam block, 20 more school sleeps till Year 10 SetPlan meetings and 24 more school sleeps till formal, this is the term that keeps me sleepless!

Formal

Our formal is coming along very nicely, we are putting together the finishing touches. Invitations to those students who are eligible should be sent out, if we receive them early, this week. Students have been asked to write down any dietary requirements on the noticeboard at A Block. It is important that ALL students attending formal are present at the town hall on Wednesday 15th September for the whole day for set up. This is when the hall will be transformed into our glamour event. More information about arrivals, live streaming and seating will be published as we get closer to the event.

Year 11 Leadership

I was privileged to attend a day at the leadership camp last week. Whilst there, I saw an extraordinary group of students encouraging each other and making friendships, that would not normally happen. I was in awe as to their teamwork in supporting each other on the high ropes course. The next step for any interested student is writing their leadership application and then interviews. I look forward to seeing what greatness they bring next year.

Mock Exam Block

Mock exam timetables have been issued to all Year 12s. Students are only to attend school when they have a scheduled exam session. Session 1 starts at 8:50am and finishes at 11:30am. Session 2 starts at 12:00pm and finishes at 2:30pm. Students must be on time to each session and bring their correct equipment. Teachers will go through this with them beforehand. These exams are important, as they help our teachers plan what revision and tuition will occur in the weeks leading up to the external exam. Results from the exam can also be included on their last report cards.

Subject Selection 2022

Thank you to those who attended our subject selection information evening this term. I have attached to this newsletter a copy of the presentations for those who were unable to attend. This week, I will be catching up with students who have not completed their subject selection for Year 10 and 11 in 2022. You can see what subjects’ students have chosen by asking them to log into their OneSchool account. If required, you can make changes to their choices. Students will not be “locked into” subjects until next term. To assist with this, it would be great if you and child can discuss career paths, subjects that they like and subjects that they do well in. You can also go to our “Careers Website” to investigate careers and post school options.

2021 Early School Leavers Survey

The Queensland Government is seeking the support of the school community for the annual survey of Year 10, 11 and 12 students who left school in 2020, before completing Year 12. This short, confidential survey collects information about what young people are doing the year after leaving school. The results of the survey help provide valuable information to improve services available to school leavers in the future.

Between August and September, these school leavers can expect to receive instructions to complete a web-based survey or a telephone call from the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office. Please encourage them to take part. If their contact details have changed, please assist the interviewer with their updated details or forward the survey to their new address so they can participate.

Thank you for your support of Next Step post-school destination surveys in 2021.

For more information, visit the link below or telephone toll free on 1800 068 587.

From the Head of Year 9

It has been a fantastic start back to the term. It seems winter has come and gone again for another year, but we may still have a few more cool days. A reminder to ensure your child arrives to school in the full, correct uniform. It is an expectation that your child complies with the uniform process and if they are in the incorrect uniform, they are required to change at school and follow the process.

With the start of a new semester, it is also important to do a stocktake of pencil cases and ensure your child has all the materials required for them to participate fully in class, to ensure they have every chance of achieving success in their learning.

Year 9 students have received subject talks from Heads of Department over the last fortnight about subject selection for Year 10 and their senior schooling pathway. I encourage all parents and carers to discuss subject selections with your child. Students have had a number of ‘tasters’ from electives over the first 3 years of their high school experience. It is important that they consider what path they may wish to take for the future. It is important to keep options open and encourage students to speak with their teachers or relevant Head of Department if they have any questions or concerns about what subjects they should choose.

It was great to see so many parents, carers and students at the subject selection evening on Tuesday 3.8.21. Students have now selected their subjects for next year. The PBL focus for the current fortnight has been “complete all work to the best of your ability”. With assessment approaching, I encourage you to check-in with your child about assessment and remind them to attend homework club either Monday or Wednesday afternoon from 3-4pm, to get assistance with their class work or assessment. Please ensure your child asks their relevant teachers directly if they need assistance.

Finally, book week is quickly approaching for 2021. The theme for this year is “old worlds, new worlds, other worlds”. Watch this space for more book week news!

From the Head of Year 11

Welcome back to Term 3! We have had a busy start to the term, with lots of great things occurring in Year 11!

Leadership Camp

On Wednesday 4th August – Friday 6th August, 26 of the Year 11 students attended Leadership Camp at Camp Fairbairn with Miss Chloe Prior, Mr James Fitzpatrick & Miss Kate Deighton. It was a memorable 3 days, where students were able to build upon their leadership skills and work together to succeed as a team. The students participated in team building activities such as; canoeing, high ropes and camp out. It was fantastic to see students working together as a team and with students they would not normally work with. The students showed positivity, teamwork, encouragement and initiative and support in all activities.

Year 11 Leadership Camp

HOY – Year 11

From the Head of Year 12

Term three is one of the busiest periods of time for our senior students here at ESHS. But they are undoubtedly up for the task.

First and foremost, I would like to extend my thanks to the parents and students who were integral in the running of the most recent fundraiser. This money will be going straight back to the students and be used for the formal. Over two thousand dollars was raised in a single night that involved cards, dinner, drinks and fun. So again, a huge thank you to those people and in particular ESHS bites tuckshop for catering.

Formal is on the 16th of September. A few important points. First, tickets will be going out to those students who have attested to the annual criteria of over 90% attendance and school fees paid. If these two criteria are not met, then it may be difficult to secure a ticket. Second, on the night, students will only be able to bring two immediate family guests. This helps us to abide by COVID restrictions and catering for the night. If for any reason your child is planning to bring a guest that is not immediate family, please contact myself or Mrs Shaw to discuss this. Otherwise, a slew of staff have been working hard, organising all components of a successful night. Discussions involving lighting, catering and the car club, along with other factors, have all been considered. Coming into the final week of this term, I will ask that the students help with the set up and pack down of the formal decorations.

Finally, mock exams will be taking place in Weeks 8 & 9. These will help the students to hone in on where, and how, to improve before the big dance of externals in Term 4.

From the SRC

Every year, Emerald State High School sponsors a student from Zambia. Nellie is in Year 12 and she is currently studying English and Maths, as well as Biology, Chemistry and Physics; which is a challenging workload. Her classes are made up of 88 students, which is almost 4 times the amount of students we have in our classes. She has never missed a day of school, which has resulted in her gaining an A in Geography, Maths and RE.

Emerald High sends money each year to help her buy all the necessities of school, including her uniform and equipment. Without our support, it would be unlikely that she would be in Year 12 and looking forward to a more prosperous future. The SRC has been sponsoring students, like Nellie, for over a decade and we intend to continue to do so with the support of the student body. Much of our fundraising during the year has been to help support Nellie and her Zambian school. Thank you to all those people who have purchased food at our BBQs over the year, including during the Athletics Carnival, as you have helped us support a worthy student and make a real difference in the lives of students across the globe.

From the Cooee Corner

It is hard to believe that we are in Term 3 already. Cooler weather than summer means that Cooee Corner has been very busy and students are loving the weather. Break times give students the opportunity to go to the Tuck Shop and listen to the music. Students love sitting at the tables and eating their lunches and developing friendships in school.

In Science students have been planting in the gardens and making sure there is daily watering of the plants, as students wait for the plants to grow. They are so excited about gardening and having the chance to watch and wait. In Geography, students are learning about maps and the world around them, by finding our houses on Google maps. In English, we have been focusing on reading and writing our stories. We have been enjoying our time learning.

One of our highlights this term, is when we get to go to Home Economics and cook yummy food. Students love eating their cooking each week. PE also means students join their friends in classes.

This has certainly been a busy term. We look forward to our holiday in a few weeks and returning for another great term at Emerald State High School in Term 4.

From the LOTE team

Konnichiwa minna-san! Welcome back to term 3, a term closer to the summer holiday!

This term, languages classes are back as per usual, and our focus for Week 5 and 6 is ‘Do your work to the best of your ability’, so ensure that you participate and complete the work set out by your teacher to the best of your ability for every class! We are also getting a week closer to our assessment time, so making sure that you are prepared, with all your necessary equipment and on time for every class, and take as many notes as you can!

The Languages program this term has students studying a variety of topics across Years 7 – 11. These include:

Year 7 – “What is school life?”

In this unit, students will learn and talk about school life such as routines, transportation to school and after-school activities. Students will also learn the appropriate language to use in Japanese classroom routines, as well as comparing information about school events. At the end of the unit, students are expected to compare the cultural practices, values and language use in the classroom between Australia versus Japan.

Year 8 – “What’s for dinner?”

In this unit, students will discuss eating habits and practices in Australia versus Japan, as well as giving their opinions on healthy eating. Students are also expected to create bilingual recipes for various types of food and explore borrowed words used for international cuisine.

Year 9 and 10 – “What is environmental conservation?”

Students will discuss and analyse different perspectives on animal conservation. They will also view a variety of texts that present different perspectives on whaling, shark and kangaroo culling and create texts which present different perspectives on shark conservation in Australia. At the end of the unit, students will be able to understand the influence of cultural values on perspectives.

Year 11 – “Our society”

Students will explore a range of ideas in terms of societal expectations, analysing various types of data, their roles in society and their contribution.

At this stage, assessments for LOTE are given within the start of Week 7 and is due in Week 9 of this term.

The best way to improve achievement is short but regular review of vocabulary. It is recommended that you also use your spare time to learn Japanese writing symbols and new vocabulary, by regularly using Quizlet. Additionally, book work is as important as always! Neat handwriting and well organised notes are the greatest way to best achieve a desirable outcome. Have a great Term – we look forward to seeing everyone back in class!

From the Science team

Week 6 is here already and goodness it has been busy in the Science department so far this term. We have seen a number of fun, exciting and engaging things happening in and outside the classrooms.

Year 7s have been getting their chemistry on and are separating mixtures through a range of different techniques as part of their assessment for this term.

Year 8s are becoming physicists and will begin building their mousetrap car in order to begin their mousetrap races – who will have the best car design to then take out the win, that is the question on everyone’s mind. The Year 8s also got the chance to channel their inner Thomas Edison and create their own version of the lightbulb.

Year 9 are budding chemists and have begun their student experiment report, where they have been conducting their modified chosen experiments to collect data and respond to their research question. The draft is due in Week 7, with the final being due first lesson of Week 9.

The Year 10s are learning the laws of physics and are busy preparing themselves for their exam later in the term. As it is an exam, it is important that these students are completing the work in class and studying at home, to ensure the upmost success for their exam. This is great practice for the 50% external exams in Year 12.

The Year 11 students in all sciences are busy working towards finishing their internal assessment for the year, and preparing for their subject exam based on the Unit 1 and/or Unit 2 content.

Our Year 12 students are almost there with all internal assessment of Unit 3 and 4 completed! Where has this time gone? This means though that it is time to knuckle down into revision for the external exams in Term 4. Each general senior science is offering students an early morning exam preparation class which goes through exam style questions. These sessions are as follows; Biology - Wednesday 8:30-9am with Miss Ryan, Chemistry - Thursday 8:15am – 8:45am with Mrs Wyatt and Physics Friday 8:30-9am with Mr Dewan.

Now for some news outside of the classroom. Last week, three Year 9 students travelled with Miss Whybird to the Boyne Island Environmental Education centre to participate in the QAL STEM-tacular Women in Science Camp. This fantastic opportunity saw our students completing environmental impact studies, collecting data, completing teamwork challenges, hearing from real world scientists, using VR, travelling to Curtis Island to repopulate seagrass beds and collect flowers (creating our own fake dugong poo), and presenting their findings to their peers, parents and guests. A big thank you to BIEEC and QAL for this amazing, fun opportunity.

As always, if your child requires further assistance to complete work/assessment, Study Club is available to assist in the completion of assessment and revise key concepts learnt in class. The science department just requests that your child ask his/her teacher to attend Study Club in advance, if need be. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s progress in Science, do not hesitate to contact their classroom teacher.

Stay tuned for the next newsletter update… because Science Week is just around the corner and that will be one week not to miss!

From the English team

We are excited to announce that Book Week is coming up soon! Each year since 1945, Book Week has brought children and books together across Australia. During this time, schools and public libraries spend one glorious week celebrating books and Australian authors and illustrators. This year’s theme is ‘Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds’. We look forward to seeing all the amazing costumes that students create in Week 7!

In the meantime, our Year 7 classes have been hard at work completing their ‘Modern Mythology’ assessment, based on Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

Year 8s are well into exam preparation to understand how advertisers manipulate audiences through language features and text structures.

The Year 9s have been reading The Hunger Games and are gathering evidence for an analytical response to a question based on a central theme in the novel.

And our Year 10s have been busy exploring WWII through The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Book Thief. Both English and Extension English are drafting creative responses to a central theme in their novel of study.

From the Hospitality & VET team

Our Hospitality and Food Specialisation students are gearing up for an exciting end of term. Currently, our Year 9 students are exploring sustainability in food consumption, by investigating packaging waste, food waste, and food miles. They are testing out glass jars as a reusable and recyclable packaging products and seeing what food items would be suitable for sale. In Year 10, we’ve got our Certificate I students preparing sandwiches for our homework club on a weekly basis and our Food Specialisation students are studying the dairy food system, while creating their own inventive ice cream flavour.

The Year 11 Food and Nutrition students have been treated to a sensory feast. Students have been applying their knowledge of sensory properties to different products available on the market and comparing them based on price points. We’re testing to see where consumers find value in their food purchases.

The Year 12 students have functions coming up, with more and more students being signed off on their Certificate II Hospitality every week. Congratulations to those early finishers, we are so proud of your success!

From the ITD team

We are half way through the term and already lots have happened in our TECH department.

DAT 7

The Year 7 classes are almost ready to rotate again after their 13-week cycle. They have made excellent progress in the different sub-areas. The 7D class have explored, designed and 3D printed a chess piece. It was their first exposure to AutoCAD and a great success.

DIG 7

The Year 7 and 8 Digital Technology classes are learning about block coding using Kodu. Kodu Game Lab is a 3D game development environment that is designed to teach kids basic programming principles. Kodu allows creators to build the world's terrain, populate it with characters and props, and then program their behaviours and games rules in programming language.

DIG 10

The Year 10 Digital Technology class are learning about designing a web page concept. Dreamweaver is an application that lets you design, code, and manage websites. What is interesting about the software is that it offers both the possibility to write code as well as make a website using a visual interface.

TMT 9 & 10

The Year 10 TMT are designing portable seating items (camp stool). Students have completed their theory component of the project of Design Brief to procedure and are in the workshop constructing. Below is some of the items they have produced last term.

DAT 9 & 10

This term the DAT classes in Years 9 and 10 explored the world of Design. It was their first time being exposed to the elements of design and how following the design process leads to producing a desired outcome for end users and stakeholders involved.

TES 9 & 10

Engineering principles and systems is one of our new subjects that got rolled out this year. Term 1 saw the learners research wind turbines, whilst in Term 2, the project involved hydraulics and pneumatics. This term, we will shift our focus to gears and velocity/ torque ratio’s. The learners get to build a gear train with two desired outputs in the workshop.

GSK 11 & 12

The senior Graphics students are busy with their projects and practical demonstrations respectively. The Year 11s are designing an Adirondack chair, whilst the Year 12s are busy with designing a car jack. Judging by their previous two terms, they should have great success with these.

Furnishing 11

After creating a dartboard in Term 2, the Year 11 furnishing class is attempting to create chessboards with a chess piece holder. They will use a combination of pine and meranti timber to distinguish between the squares. Looking forward to see the products.

Furnishing 12

Our Year 12s this term is focusing on designing their own wooden cooler boxes with extended legs to go nicely with their Adirondack chairs that they finished last term. They will use pallet wood for this, which forms part of their sustainability and recycling focus. Below is an image of the Adirondack chair.

Design 11 & 12

In Design for Year 11, they are exploring Architecture and Built Environment within Commercial Design (Unit 2). They have been tasked with a design challenge where in groups they set off to use the design process to plan, design and construct the perfect building for their client profile.

Year 12s are working hard on preparing themselves for the upcoming External Assessment which is an unknown Design Challenge. Wish the Year 12 Design students’ good luck!

Engineering 11 & 12

The Year 11 and 12 students are working through their modules (Yr11- Unit 2, Yr12 – Unit 4). Fabricating a Quick Release Clamp and a Fire Brazier.
