Leave Mr Johnston is currently on sick leave and will be
returning in week 1 of Term 3 and we wish him well
on his recovery I have the pleasure of taking his
place as Principal for this time My most rewarding
aspect of this role is seeing the outstanding work
our students and staff are involved in Below is a
snapshot of activities that are continuing in our
school and all of this has been jammed into a nine
week term as well
Assessments This term we had Year 12 students completing
their EST assessments as directed by SCSA which
then flowed in to the Year 1112 exam week
Studentsrsquo behaviour during the exam week was
outstanding and now results are being analysed
and advice given to students Congratulations to
students who have performed admirably Year 12
students need to be conscious that they have
effectively one term of secondary schooling left
and need to work hard as well enjoy their final
term
Year 10 Subject Selection Our Year 10 Parent Evening was held on
Wednesday 6 June and was attended by more than
200 parents and students It was a very successful
evening where information was delivered and
questions answered In week 8 we commence the
one-on-one parentstudent teacher subject
selection process What is pleasing about the
Greenwood approach is that staff are assisting
students and parents in making selections for
2019 and students can make informed decisions
Thank you to all staff on the night of the Parent
Evening as well as the HASS dept who each year
assist in this complex process
Year 6 Parent Evening On Wednesday 13 June Ms Hamel organised a
Parent Information session for parents of
prospective Year 7 students in 2019 Feedback
from parents was that the presenters were
passionate about their subject areas as well as our
school Thank you to Ms Hamel for her
organisational skills staff who made presentations
and a special thank you to Mr John Smith the PampC
President who complemented the evening
perfectly
Physical Education With the concern surrounding childrenrsquos health I
am most pleased with Mr Guard and all the Phys
Ed staff who have worked hard to keep students
actively engaged in sport Activities have included
Year 7 9 10 Lightning Carnivals where
studentsrsquo behaviour has been exemplary
Netball carnivals
After school soccer football and netball
A special thank you to our non-physd teacher Mr
Gannaway who has assisted with the girlsrsquo soccer
team
Recycling Waste Greenwood College was recently visited by the
Minister for the Environment The Hon Mr Stephen
Dawson MLC and Mrs Jessica Stojkovski our local
MLA in relation to our waste management at the
College which has been co-ordinated by the
Science Dept and our Head of Science Mr Evans
Canteen Students and parents are encouraged to support
our canteen which offers a wide variety of cold and
hot foods from a constantly evolving menu each
term to accommodate student demands The
college community depends and benefits greatly
from the profits that are put back into the college
and used by the PampC to buy equipment for the
school
Reports Semester 1 reports for all year groups will be
issued to students on Thursday 28 June (second
last day of college) to take home Parents will be
able to receive further feedback from teachers next
term when we have the Parent Reporting Evening
on Wednesday 25 July
With the impending holidays upon us I would like to
take this opportunity to wish all students a safe
and happy two week break

Year 10 Counselling for Upper School in 2019 It has been pleasing to see the level of engagement from parents and students alike during the upper
school subject counselling process that has unfolded throughout this term Thank you to all that
attended the information evening An individual counselling interview has now been scheduled for all
Year 10 students and their parents Attendance at this interview is a crucial step is finalising course
selections for the commencement of Year 11 Students and their families are once again reminded that
teacher recommendations are made with the intent of guiding our students through Year 11 and 12
with the maximum opportunity to achieve their WACE and to transition into successful post-school
opportunities
Year 9 Elective Selections for Year 10 2019 All Year 9 students have received a Year 10 elective handbook and selection sheet Please note that
selection sheets are due to be returned to the front office by Friday 22 June Elective selections for Year
10 are year-long Students should consider their preferences carefully as changes at a later date cannot
always be accommodated Although every effort is made to provide students each of their first three
elective preferences timetabling considerations including the popularity of different choices may mean
this is not always the case
Year 11 and 12 Academic Tracking Following the semester one exam and reporting period an academic review of all Year 11 and 12 ATAR
and General students is underway Greenwood College is keen to ensure that each of our Year 11 and
12 students is navigating a successful pathway through upper school We are particularly interested in
ensuring Year 11 students that have commenced on ATAR pathway have achieved positive semester
one results Students whose academic performance is of concern will be attending individual interviews
and in many cases parents will be invited to also attend Year 12 ATAR students are reminded to take
advantage of the many before and after school revision classes that are being offered by many of their
subject teachers
Year 12 Semester Two and WACE Exam Schedules Please be advised of the following examination windows for semester two Please be aware that an
ATAR course will not be contribute towards WACE achievement requirements unless the external WACE

A Police Rangers unit has operated at Greenwood College for more than sixteen
years Over that time the police officers running the unit have enabled many
students to develop their life skills and so become more effective members of the
community
At a time of parental dismay at the anti-social behaviour of some young people the work of the Police
Rangers provides a useful way of channelling young peoplersquos energies in a positive direction Important
ideals of loyalty duty and service are central to the ethos of the Rangers
There are many recreational activities provided by the Rangers and they have been arranged so that
students can proceed at their own pace Some of the activities involve drills radio communications
navigation community service leadership training camping and physical challenges Membership of
the Rangers is open to all students in Years 7-12
The Rangers meet at Greenwood College on Mondays during the school year from 4-6pm Inquiries

City of Joondalup Mobile Youth Truck
The City of Joondalup has kindly offered Greenwood College the use of their Mobile Youth Truck every
second Thursday during lunchtimes for Term 2 The Youth Truck is a free mobile youth service for young
people aged 11-18 years old The Truck offers two qualified youth workers a kitchenette lounge
gaming TV and two unicycles These facilities aid the City of Joondalup in providing an inclusive
environment for young people and allow them to provide workshops skills building and personal
development
So far the weather has been very kind and our students have enjoyed themselves especially when the
inflatable mat was brought out (see picture below)
Winter Uniform
We are now heading into the wet and windy season Students have a responsibility to ensure that as
they walk out the front door of their home each morning they are in 100 full Greenwood College
uniform Girls can wear either navy blue or skin coloured stockings
Leggings are not allowed nor are beanies and ugg boots Scarves are definitely allowed but must also
be either plain navy blue or plain white or preferably a Greenwood College scarf available from the
uniform shop
All uniform worn must have the Greenwood College logo Any other type of clothing is not permitted
There will no doubt be very cold mornings this winter and the expectation is that students will arrive to
school warm but only wearing our uniform
Parents are reminded that the Uniform Shop has plenty of stock at the moment and it would be a good
idea to get in quick and buy the jumpers jackets needed to keep their child(ren) warm while at school
A school always looks much better when every student is wearing full uniform

Attendance To date over 30 students in Years 11 and 12 this year have chosen to leave school Reasons always
vary Most students apply for TAFE or jobs before they decide to leave school This is the preferred
outcome Some have been offered a place at TAFE some have found full time employment and some
are still looking Attending school in Years 11 and 12 is compulsory and a legal requirement Parents
carers must be aware that if their child chooses to leave school a process is undertaken Greenwood
College will submit a referral to the Participation Directorate requesting assistance
The Participation Team The Participation Team provides a transitional support service across all Public Catholic and
Independent schools to ensure all young people make successful transitions and participate in an
approved option in relation to the Raised Leaving Age Legislation
The options available under a Notice of Arrangements (NOA) for students in the final two years of their
compulsory education period - typically Years 11 and 12 aged students are to
attend school
enrol in an accredited course at a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or a public RTO
(formerly TAFEWA) or
attend an approved Community Based Course or
undertake an Apprenticeship or Traineeship or
gain employment in an approved job or
undertake a combination of the above
Students will always be encouraged to remain at school and complete either Year 11 or 12 Students
that enrol in TAFE at the beginning of the year or mid-year will be monitored by a Participation
Coordinator Same applies if a student commences full-time employment Leaving school and not
engaging in further education or employment is not a viable or accepted option
If your child (if in Years 11 or 12) is contemplating leaving school please contact either myself (9243
9238) or Fiona Gatey (9243 9213)
Attendance Heroes Drum roll helliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
The semester 1 Attendance Competition was won by the Year 7s with an
attendance percentage of 95 which was slightly better than the Year 8s with
92 That is a seriously commendable result for the year 7s and Ms Cook Third
place was taken by the Year 11s with 92 followed by the 9s and 10s on 91
and finally the 12s on 88 Well done to the students and to the respective Year
Coordinators Perhaps there will be a sausage sizzle as a reward
Sarah Asher Very sadly we had to say goodbye recently to Sarah Asher
our absolutely brilliant Student Support Officer Sarah has
worked at Greenwood College for nearly three years and in
that time she has had such a positive impact on this
school She has changed the lives of many of our young
people and is held in exceptionally high regard by staff
parents and most importantly students In 28 years of
education I have never seen a farewell to a staff member
like the one Sarah received As you can see by the photo
Sarah took home many gifts and many many cards
Sarah has left a wonderful legacy from her time here She is embarking on a new career
with Anglicare and we wish her all the best You will be missed Sarah

At Greenwood College we are busy focusing on our present Year 10 students and their subject
selections for their final years at Greenwood as well as directing Year 12 students towards their
pathways from school in to the world of work training and study With this in mind students should be
exploring industries and career pathways In this newsletter I will be detailing relevant and engaging
resources suitable for students at the College
Australiarsquos population is changing The population is getting older more females are in paid work and
the number of school aged children is growing Demand is likely to grow for aged care childcare home
based care and education services
Housing construction investment in infrastructure (like roads railways and airports)
tourism activity and the international education sector are expected to stay strong
The number and type of job openings available in the future will depend on things
like
turnover (workers leaving their job to do things like study move to another job
care for a family member retire or travel)
demand for goods and services
demand for resources
changes in technology
Industry Outlook
Over the 5 years to 2022 the department expects the largest job growth will be in
Health Care and Social Assistance
Professional Scientific and Technical Services
Construction
By 2022 there will probably be fewer jobs in
Manufacturing
Electricity Gas Water and Waste Services
Agriculture Forestry and Fishing
These are important industries and turnover will provide opportunities for workers with the right skills
Some parts of these industries (like Food Product Manufacturing) are expected to
grow
Career Outlook
The department expects there will be many new jobs for Professionals Community
and Personal Service Workers Some of the jobs expected to grow the most are
Registered Nurses
Aged and Disabled Carers
Accountants
Electricians
Some jobs need more training now than they used to (like Child Carers in day care centres) and most of
the new jobs created over the next few years will be higher skilled There are millions of lower skilled
jobs and these can be rewarding careers or pathways to other jobs
Employer needs can change quickly Workers who are willing to learn gain experience and build their
skills will be well placed to find and keep a job
Snapshots of many key industries provide information on salaries in related jobs employment trends in
the industry and what type of work you can expect if you pursue a career in the area Access this link
and explore relevant and up to date information regarding a variety of elements from salary training
and industry growth Over 30 Industries are detailed
wwwgraduatecareerscomaucareerplanningandresourcesexploringyourcareeroptionscareerprofiles
On the Greenwood College immediate front we have many opportunities arising for our students to
complete further training Presently a wealth of opportunities are being offered to students for delivery
at TAFE and other providersrsquo sites for one day a week commencing in 2019 Please keep an eye on the
daily notices and ask your student to continue to visit Ms Gatey for further training opportunities

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

Leave Mr Johnston is currently on sick leave and will be
returning in week 1 of Term 3 and we wish him well
on his recovery I have the pleasure of taking his
place as Principal for this time My most rewarding
aspect of this role is seeing the outstanding work
our students and staff are involved in Below is a
snapshot of activities that are continuing in our
school and all of this has been jammed into a nine
week term as well
Assessments This term we had Year 12 students completing
their EST assessments as directed by SCSA which
then flowed in to the Year 1112 exam week
Studentsrsquo behaviour during the exam week was
outstanding and now results are being analysed
and advice given to students Congratulations to
students who have performed admirably Year 12
students need to be conscious that they have
effectively one term of secondary schooling left
and need to work hard as well enjoy their final
term
Year 10 Subject Selection Our Year 10 Parent Evening was held on
Wednesday 6 June and was attended by more than
200 parents and students It was a very successful
evening where information was delivered and
questions answered In week 8 we commence the
one-on-one parentstudent teacher subject
selection process What is pleasing about the
Greenwood approach is that staff are assisting
students and parents in making selections for
2019 and students can make informed decisions
Thank you to all staff on the night of the Parent
Evening as well as the HASS dept who each year
assist in this complex process
Year 6 Parent Evening On Wednesday 13 June Ms Hamel organised a
Parent Information session for parents of
prospective Year 7 students in 2019 Feedback
from parents was that the presenters were
passionate about their subject areas as well as our
school Thank you to Ms Hamel for her
organisational skills staff who made presentations
and a special thank you to Mr John Smith the PampC
President who complemented the evening
perfectly
Physical Education With the concern surrounding childrenrsquos health I
am most pleased with Mr Guard and all the Phys
Ed staff who have worked hard to keep students
actively engaged in sport Activities have included
Year 7 9 10 Lightning Carnivals where
studentsrsquo behaviour has been exemplary
Netball carnivals
After school soccer football and netball
A special thank you to our non-physd teacher Mr
Gannaway who has assisted with the girlsrsquo soccer
team
Recycling Waste Greenwood College was recently visited by the
Minister for the Environment The Hon Mr Stephen
Dawson MLC and Mrs Jessica Stojkovski our local
MLA in relation to our waste management at the
College which has been co-ordinated by the
Science Dept and our Head of Science Mr Evans
Canteen Students and parents are encouraged to support
our canteen which offers a wide variety of cold and
hot foods from a constantly evolving menu each
term to accommodate student demands The
college community depends and benefits greatly
from the profits that are put back into the college
and used by the PampC to buy equipment for the
school
Reports Semester 1 reports for all year groups will be
issued to students on Thursday 28 June (second
last day of college) to take home Parents will be
able to receive further feedback from teachers next

Year 10 Counselling for Upper School in 2019 It has been pleasing to see the level of engagement from parents and students alike during the upper
school subject counselling process that has unfolded throughout this term Thank you to all that
attended the information evening An individual counselling interview has now been scheduled for all
Year 10 students and their parents Attendance at this interview is a crucial step is finalising course
selections for the commencement of Year 11 Students and their families are once again reminded that
teacher recommendations are made with the intent of guiding our students through Year 11 and 12
with the maximum opportunity to achieve their WACE and to transition into successful post-school
opportunities
Year 9 Elective Selections for Year 10 2019 All Year 9 students have received a Year 10 elective handbook and selection sheet Please note that
selection sheets are due to be returned to the front office by Friday 22 June Elective selections for Year
10 are year-long Students should consider their preferences carefully as changes at a later date cannot
always be accommodated Although every effort is made to provide students each of their first three
elective preferences timetabling considerations including the popularity of different choices may mean
this is not always the case
Year 11 and 12 Academic Tracking Following the semester one exam and reporting period an academic review of all Year 11 and 12 ATAR
and General students is underway Greenwood College is keen to ensure that each of our Year 11 and
12 students is navigating a successful pathway through upper school We are particularly interested in
ensuring Year 11 students that have commenced on ATAR pathway have achieved positive semester
one results Students whose academic performance is of concern will be attending individual interviews
and in many cases parents will be invited to also attend Year 12 ATAR students are reminded to take
advantage of the many before and after school revision classes that are being offered by many of their
subject teachers
Year 12 Semester Two and WACE Exam Schedules Please be advised of the following examination windows for semester two Please be aware that an

A Police Rangers unit has operated at Greenwood College for more than sixteen
years Over that time the police officers running the unit have enabled many
students to develop their life skills and so become more effective members of the
community
At a time of parental dismay at the anti-social behaviour of some young people the work of the Police
Rangers provides a useful way of channelling young peoplersquos energies in a positive direction Important
ideals of loyalty duty and service are central to the ethos of the Rangers
There are many recreational activities provided by the Rangers and they have been arranged so that
students can proceed at their own pace Some of the activities involve drills radio communications
navigation community service leadership training camping and physical challenges Membership of
the Rangers is open to all students in Years 7-12
The Rangers meet at Greenwood College on Mondays during the school year from 4-6pm Inquiries

City of Joondalup Mobile Youth Truck
The City of Joondalup has kindly offered Greenwood College the use of their Mobile Youth Truck every
second Thursday during lunchtimes for Term 2 The Youth Truck is a free mobile youth service for young
people aged 11-18 years old The Truck offers two qualified youth workers a kitchenette lounge
gaming TV and two unicycles These facilities aid the City of Joondalup in providing an inclusive
environment for young people and allow them to provide workshops skills building and personal
development
So far the weather has been very kind and our students have enjoyed themselves especially when the
inflatable mat was brought out (see picture below)
Winter Uniform
We are now heading into the wet and windy season Students have a responsibility to ensure that as
they walk out the front door of their home each morning they are in 100 full Greenwood College
uniform Girls can wear either navy blue or skin coloured stockings
Leggings are not allowed nor are beanies and ugg boots Scarves are definitely allowed but must also
be either plain navy blue or plain white or preferably a Greenwood College scarf available from the
uniform shop
All uniform worn must have the Greenwood College logo Any other type of clothing is not permitted
There will no doubt be very cold mornings this winter and the expectation is that students will arrive to
school warm but only wearing our uniform
Parents are reminded that the Uniform Shop has plenty of stock at the moment and it would be a good
idea to get in quick and buy the jumpers jackets needed to keep their child(ren) warm while at school
A school always looks much better when every student is wearing full uniform

Attendance To date over 30 students in Years 11 and 12 this year have chosen to leave school Reasons always
vary Most students apply for TAFE or jobs before they decide to leave school This is the preferred
outcome Some have been offered a place at TAFE some have found full time employment and some
are still looking Attending school in Years 11 and 12 is compulsory and a legal requirement Parents
carers must be aware that if their child chooses to leave school a process is undertaken Greenwood
College will submit a referral to the Participation Directorate requesting assistance
The Participation Team The Participation Team provides a transitional support service across all Public Catholic and
Independent schools to ensure all young people make successful transitions and participate in an
approved option in relation to the Raised Leaving Age Legislation
The options available under a Notice of Arrangements (NOA) for students in the final two years of their
compulsory education period - typically Years 11 and 12 aged students are to
attend school
enrol in an accredited course at a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or a public RTO
(formerly TAFEWA) or
attend an approved Community Based Course or
undertake an Apprenticeship or Traineeship or
gain employment in an approved job or
undertake a combination of the above
Students will always be encouraged to remain at school and complete either Year 11 or 12 Students
that enrol in TAFE at the beginning of the year or mid-year will be monitored by a Participation
Coordinator Same applies if a student commences full-time employment Leaving school and not
engaging in further education or employment is not a viable or accepted option
If your child (if in Years 11 or 12) is contemplating leaving school please contact either myself (9243
9238) or Fiona Gatey (9243 9213)
Attendance Heroes Drum roll helliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
The semester 1 Attendance Competition was won by the Year 7s with an
attendance percentage of 95 which was slightly better than the Year 8s with
92 That is a seriously commendable result for the year 7s and Ms Cook Third
place was taken by the Year 11s with 92 followed by the 9s and 10s on 91
and finally the 12s on 88 Well done to the students and to the respective Year
Coordinators Perhaps there will be a sausage sizzle as a reward
Sarah Asher Very sadly we had to say goodbye recently to Sarah Asher
our absolutely brilliant Student Support Officer Sarah has
worked at Greenwood College for nearly three years and in
that time she has had such a positive impact on this
school She has changed the lives of many of our young
people and is held in exceptionally high regard by staff
parents and most importantly students In 28 years of
education I have never seen a farewell to a staff member
like the one Sarah received As you can see by the photo
Sarah took home many gifts and many many cards
Sarah has left a wonderful legacy from her time here She is embarking on a new career
with Anglicare and we wish her all the best You will be missed Sarah

At Greenwood College we are busy focusing on our present Year 10 students and their subject
selections for their final years at Greenwood as well as directing Year 12 students towards their
pathways from school in to the world of work training and study With this in mind students should be
exploring industries and career pathways In this newsletter I will be detailing relevant and engaging
resources suitable for students at the College
Australiarsquos population is changing The population is getting older more females are in paid work and
the number of school aged children is growing Demand is likely to grow for aged care childcare home
based care and education services
Housing construction investment in infrastructure (like roads railways and airports)
tourism activity and the international education sector are expected to stay strong
The number and type of job openings available in the future will depend on things
like
turnover (workers leaving their job to do things like study move to another job
care for a family member retire or travel)
demand for goods and services
demand for resources
changes in technology
Industry Outlook
Over the 5 years to 2022 the department expects the largest job growth will be in
Health Care and Social Assistance
Professional Scientific and Technical Services
Construction
By 2022 there will probably be fewer jobs in
Manufacturing
Electricity Gas Water and Waste Services
Agriculture Forestry and Fishing
These are important industries and turnover will provide opportunities for workers with the right skills
Some parts of these industries (like Food Product Manufacturing) are expected to
grow
Career Outlook
The department expects there will be many new jobs for Professionals Community
and Personal Service Workers Some of the jobs expected to grow the most are
Registered Nurses
Aged and Disabled Carers
Accountants
Electricians
Some jobs need more training now than they used to (like Child Carers in day care centres) and most of
the new jobs created over the next few years will be higher skilled There are millions of lower skilled
jobs and these can be rewarding careers or pathways to other jobs
Employer needs can change quickly Workers who are willing to learn gain experience and build their
skills will be well placed to find and keep a job
Snapshots of many key industries provide information on salaries in related jobs employment trends in
the industry and what type of work you can expect if you pursue a career in the area Access this link
and explore relevant and up to date information regarding a variety of elements from salary training
and industry growth Over 30 Industries are detailed

On the Greenwood College immediate front we have many opportunities arising for our students to
complete further training Presently a wealth of opportunities are being offered to students for delivery
at TAFE and other providersrsquo sites for one day a week commencing in 2019 Please keep an eye on the
daily notices and ask your student to continue to visit Ms Gatey for further training opportunities

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

selection sheets are due to be returned to the front office by Friday 22 June Elective selections for Year

A Police Rangers unit has operated at Greenwood College for more than sixteen
years Over that time the police officers running the unit have enabled many
students to develop their life skills and so become more effective members of the
community
At a time of parental dismay at the anti-social behaviour of some young people the work of the Police
Rangers provides a useful way of channelling young peoplersquos energies in a positive direction Important
ideals of loyalty duty and service are central to the ethos of the Rangers
There are many recreational activities provided by the Rangers and they have been arranged so that
students can proceed at their own pace Some of the activities involve drills radio communications
navigation community service leadership training camping and physical challenges Membership of
the Rangers is open to all students in Years 7-12
The Rangers meet at Greenwood College on Mondays during the school year from 4-6pm Inquiries

City of Joondalup Mobile Youth Truck
The City of Joondalup has kindly offered Greenwood College the use of their Mobile Youth Truck every
second Thursday during lunchtimes for Term 2 The Youth Truck is a free mobile youth service for young
people aged 11-18 years old The Truck offers two qualified youth workers a kitchenette lounge
gaming TV and two unicycles These facilities aid the City of Joondalup in providing an inclusive
environment for young people and allow them to provide workshops skills building and personal
development
So far the weather has been very kind and our students have enjoyed themselves especially when the
inflatable mat was brought out (see picture below)
Winter Uniform
We are now heading into the wet and windy season Students have a responsibility to ensure that as
they walk out the front door of their home each morning they are in 100 full Greenwood College
uniform Girls can wear either navy blue or skin coloured stockings
Leggings are not allowed nor are beanies and ugg boots Scarves are definitely allowed but must also
be either plain navy blue or plain white or preferably a Greenwood College scarf available from the
uniform shop
All uniform worn must have the Greenwood College logo Any other type of clothing is not permitted
There will no doubt be very cold mornings this winter and the expectation is that students will arrive to
school warm but only wearing our uniform
Parents are reminded that the Uniform Shop has plenty of stock at the moment and it would be a good
idea to get in quick and buy the jumpers jackets needed to keep their child(ren) warm while at school
A school always looks much better when every student is wearing full uniform

Attendance To date over 30 students in Years 11 and 12 this year have chosen to leave school Reasons always
vary Most students apply for TAFE or jobs before they decide to leave school This is the preferred
outcome Some have been offered a place at TAFE some have found full time employment and some
are still looking Attending school in Years 11 and 12 is compulsory and a legal requirement Parents
carers must be aware that if their child chooses to leave school a process is undertaken Greenwood
College will submit a referral to the Participation Directorate requesting assistance
The Participation Team The Participation Team provides a transitional support service across all Public Catholic and
Independent schools to ensure all young people make successful transitions and participate in an
approved option in relation to the Raised Leaving Age Legislation
The options available under a Notice of Arrangements (NOA) for students in the final two years of their
compulsory education period - typically Years 11 and 12 aged students are to
attend school
enrol in an accredited course at a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or a public RTO
(formerly TAFEWA) or
attend an approved Community Based Course or
undertake an Apprenticeship or Traineeship or
gain employment in an approved job or
undertake a combination of the above
Students will always be encouraged to remain at school and complete either Year 11 or 12 Students
that enrol in TAFE at the beginning of the year or mid-year will be monitored by a Participation
Coordinator Same applies if a student commences full-time employment Leaving school and not
engaging in further education or employment is not a viable or accepted option
If your child (if in Years 11 or 12) is contemplating leaving school please contact either myself (9243
9238) or Fiona Gatey (9243 9213)
Attendance Heroes Drum roll helliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
The semester 1 Attendance Competition was won by the Year 7s with an
attendance percentage of 95 which was slightly better than the Year 8s with
92 That is a seriously commendable result for the year 7s and Ms Cook Third
place was taken by the Year 11s with 92 followed by the 9s and 10s on 91
and finally the 12s on 88 Well done to the students and to the respective Year
Coordinators Perhaps there will be a sausage sizzle as a reward
Sarah Asher Very sadly we had to say goodbye recently to Sarah Asher
our absolutely brilliant Student Support Officer Sarah has
worked at Greenwood College for nearly three years and in
that time she has had such a positive impact on this
school She has changed the lives of many of our young
people and is held in exceptionally high regard by staff
parents and most importantly students In 28 years of
education I have never seen a farewell to a staff member
like the one Sarah received As you can see by the photo
Sarah took home many gifts and many many cards
Sarah has left a wonderful legacy from her time here She is embarking on a new career
with Anglicare and we wish her all the best You will be missed Sarah

At Greenwood College we are busy focusing on our present Year 10 students and their subject
selections for their final years at Greenwood as well as directing Year 12 students towards their
pathways from school in to the world of work training and study With this in mind students should be
exploring industries and career pathways In this newsletter I will be detailing relevant and engaging
resources suitable for students at the College
Australiarsquos population is changing The population is getting older more females are in paid work and
the number of school aged children is growing Demand is likely to grow for aged care childcare home
based care and education services
Housing construction investment in infrastructure (like roads railways and airports)
tourism activity and the international education sector are expected to stay strong
The number and type of job openings available in the future will depend on things
like
turnover (workers leaving their job to do things like study move to another job
care for a family member retire or travel)
demand for goods and services
demand for resources
changes in technology
Industry Outlook
Over the 5 years to 2022 the department expects the largest job growth will be in
Health Care and Social Assistance
Professional Scientific and Technical Services
Construction
By 2022 there will probably be fewer jobs in
Manufacturing
Electricity Gas Water and Waste Services
Agriculture Forestry and Fishing
These are important industries and turnover will provide opportunities for workers with the right skills
Some parts of these industries (like Food Product Manufacturing) are expected to
grow
Career Outlook
The department expects there will be many new jobs for Professionals Community
and Personal Service Workers Some of the jobs expected to grow the most are
Registered Nurses
Aged and Disabled Carers
Accountants
Electricians
Some jobs need more training now than they used to (like Child Carers in day care centres) and most of
the new jobs created over the next few years will be higher skilled There are millions of lower skilled
jobs and these can be rewarding careers or pathways to other jobs
Employer needs can change quickly Workers who are willing to learn gain experience and build their
skills will be well placed to find and keep a job
Snapshots of many key industries provide information on salaries in related jobs employment trends in
the industry and what type of work you can expect if you pursue a career in the area Access this link

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

City of Joondalup Mobile Youth Truck
The City of Joondalup has kindly offered Greenwood College the use of their Mobile Youth Truck every
second Thursday during lunchtimes for Term 2 The Youth Truck is a free mobile youth service for young
people aged 11-18 years old The Truck offers two qualified youth workers a kitchenette lounge
gaming TV and two unicycles These facilities aid the City of Joondalup in providing an inclusive
environment for young people and allow them to provide workshops skills building and personal
development
So far the weather has been very kind and our students have enjoyed themselves especially when the
inflatable mat was brought out (see picture below)
Winter Uniform
We are now heading into the wet and windy season Students have a responsibility to ensure that as
they walk out the front door of their home each morning they are in 100 full Greenwood College
uniform Girls can wear either navy blue or skin coloured stockings
Leggings are not allowed nor are beanies and ugg boots Scarves are definitely allowed but must also
be either plain navy blue or plain white or preferably a Greenwood College scarf available from the
uniform shop
All uniform worn must have the Greenwood College logo Any other type of clothing is not permitted
There will no doubt be very cold mornings this winter and the expectation is that students will arrive to
school warm but only wearing our uniform
Parents are reminded that the Uniform Shop has plenty of stock at the moment and it would be a good
idea to get in quick and buy the jumpers jackets needed to keep their child(ren) warm while at school
A school always looks much better when every student is wearing full uniform

Attendance To date over 30 students in Years 11 and 12 this year have chosen to leave school Reasons always
vary Most students apply for TAFE or jobs before they decide to leave school This is the preferred
outcome Some have been offered a place at TAFE some have found full time employment and some
are still looking Attending school in Years 11 and 12 is compulsory and a legal requirement Parents
carers must be aware that if their child chooses to leave school a process is undertaken Greenwood
College will submit a referral to the Participation Directorate requesting assistance
The Participation Team The Participation Team provides a transitional support service across all Public Catholic and
Independent schools to ensure all young people make successful transitions and participate in an
approved option in relation to the Raised Leaving Age Legislation
The options available under a Notice of Arrangements (NOA) for students in the final two years of their
compulsory education period - typically Years 11 and 12 aged students are to
attend school
enrol in an accredited course at a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or a public RTO
(formerly TAFEWA) or
attend an approved Community Based Course or
undertake an Apprenticeship or Traineeship or
gain employment in an approved job or
undertake a combination of the above
Students will always be encouraged to remain at school and complete either Year 11 or 12 Students
that enrol in TAFE at the beginning of the year or mid-year will be monitored by a Participation
Coordinator Same applies if a student commences full-time employment Leaving school and not
engaging in further education or employment is not a viable or accepted option
If your child (if in Years 11 or 12) is contemplating leaving school please contact either myself (9243
9238) or Fiona Gatey (9243 9213)
Attendance Heroes Drum roll helliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
The semester 1 Attendance Competition was won by the Year 7s with an
attendance percentage of 95 which was slightly better than the Year 8s with
92 That is a seriously commendable result for the year 7s and Ms Cook Third
place was taken by the Year 11s with 92 followed by the 9s and 10s on 91
and finally the 12s on 88 Well done to the students and to the respective Year
Coordinators Perhaps there will be a sausage sizzle as a reward
Sarah Asher Very sadly we had to say goodbye recently to Sarah Asher
our absolutely brilliant Student Support Officer Sarah has
worked at Greenwood College for nearly three years and in
that time she has had such a positive impact on this
school She has changed the lives of many of our young
people and is held in exceptionally high regard by staff
parents and most importantly students In 28 years of
education I have never seen a farewell to a staff member
like the one Sarah received As you can see by the photo
Sarah took home many gifts and many many cards
Sarah has left a wonderful legacy from her time here She is embarking on a new career
with Anglicare and we wish her all the best You will be missed Sarah

the number of school aged children is growing Demand is likely to grow for aged care childcare home
based care and education services
Housing construction investment in infrastructure (like roads railways and airports)
tourism activity and the international education sector are expected to stay strong
The number and type of job openings available in the future will depend on things
like
turnover (workers leaving their job to do things like study move to another job
care for a family member retire or travel)
demand for goods and services
demand for resources
changes in technology
Industry Outlook
Over the 5 years to 2022 the department expects the largest job growth will be in
Health Care and Social Assistance
Professional Scientific and Technical Services
Construction
By 2022 there will probably be fewer jobs in
Manufacturing
Electricity Gas Water and Waste Services
Agriculture Forestry and Fishing
These are important industries and turnover will provide opportunities for workers with the right skills
Some parts of these industries (like Food Product Manufacturing) are expected to
grow
Career Outlook
The department expects there will be many new jobs for Professionals Community
and Personal Service Workers Some of the jobs expected to grow the most are
Registered Nurses
Aged and Disabled Carers
Accountants
Electricians
Some jobs need more training now than they used to (like Child Carers in day care centres) and most of
the new jobs created over the next few years will be higher skilled There are millions of lower skilled
jobs and these can be rewarding careers or pathways to other jobs
Employer needs can change quickly Workers who are willing to learn gain experience and build their
skills will be well placed to find and keep a job

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

Simone Priestley
On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

The winning photos are masterful images of two adventurous Latin
America destinations Laguna Colorada in Bolivia and Bloody Red Lake
in the mountains of Chile The waters of these two lagoons have intense
orange hue which is contrasting amazingly with the landscape

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

Attendance To date over 30 students in Years 11 and 12 this year have chosen to leave school Reasons always
vary Most students apply for TAFE or jobs before they decide to leave school This is the preferred
outcome Some have been offered a place at TAFE some have found full time employment and some
are still looking Attending school in Years 11 and 12 is compulsory and a legal requirement Parents
carers must be aware that if their child chooses to leave school a process is undertaken Greenwood
College will submit a referral to the Participation Directorate requesting assistance
The Participation Team The Participation Team provides a transitional support service across all Public Catholic and
Independent schools to ensure all young people make successful transitions and participate in an
approved option in relation to the Raised Leaving Age Legislation
The options available under a Notice of Arrangements (NOA) for students in the final two years of their
compulsory education period - typically Years 11 and 12 aged students are to
attend school
enrol in an accredited course at a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or a public RTO
(formerly TAFEWA) or
attend an approved Community Based Course or
undertake an Apprenticeship or Traineeship or
gain employment in an approved job or
undertake a combination of the above
Students will always be encouraged to remain at school and complete either Year 11 or 12 Students
that enrol in TAFE at the beginning of the year or mid-year will be monitored by a Participation
Coordinator Same applies if a student commences full-time employment Leaving school and not
engaging in further education or employment is not a viable or accepted option
If your child (if in Years 11 or 12) is contemplating leaving school please contact either myself (9243
9238) or Fiona Gatey (9243 9213)
Attendance Heroes Drum roll helliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
The semester 1 Attendance Competition was won by the Year 7s with an

92 That is a seriously commendable result for the year 7s and Ms Cook Third
place was taken by the Year 11s with 92 followed by the 9s and 10s on 91
and finally the 12s on 88 Well done to the students and to the respective Year
Coordinators Perhaps there will be a sausage sizzle as a reward
Sarah Asher Very sadly we had to say goodbye recently to Sarah Asher
our absolutely brilliant Student Support Officer Sarah has
worked at Greenwood College for nearly three years and in
that time she has had such a positive impact on this
school She has changed the lives of many of our young
people and is held in exceptionally high regard by staff
parents and most importantly students In 28 years of
education I have never seen a farewell to a staff member
like the one Sarah received As you can see by the photo
Sarah took home many gifts and many many cards
Sarah has left a wonderful legacy from her time here She is embarking on a new career
with Anglicare and we wish her all the best You will be missed Sarah

the number of school aged children is growing Demand is likely to grow for aged care childcare home
based care and education services
Housing construction investment in infrastructure (like roads railways and airports)
tourism activity and the international education sector are expected to stay strong
The number and type of job openings available in the future will depend on things
like
turnover (workers leaving their job to do things like study move to another job
care for a family member retire or travel)
demand for goods and services
demand for resources
changes in technology
Industry Outlook
Over the 5 years to 2022 the department expects the largest job growth will be in
Health Care and Social Assistance
Professional Scientific and Technical Services
Construction
By 2022 there will probably be fewer jobs in
Manufacturing
Electricity Gas Water and Waste Services
Agriculture Forestry and Fishing
These are important industries and turnover will provide opportunities for workers with the right skills
Some parts of these industries (like Food Product Manufacturing) are expected to
grow
Career Outlook
The department expects there will be many new jobs for Professionals Community
and Personal Service Workers Some of the jobs expected to grow the most are
Registered Nurses
Aged and Disabled Carers
Accountants
Electricians
Some jobs need more training now than they used to (like Child Carers in day care centres) and most of
the new jobs created over the next few years will be higher skilled There are millions of lower skilled
jobs and these can be rewarding careers or pathways to other jobs
Employer needs can change quickly Workers who are willing to learn gain experience and build their
skills will be well placed to find and keep a job

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

Simone Priestley
On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

in the mountains of Chile The waters of these two lagoons have intense
orange hue which is contrasting amazingly with the landscape

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

At Greenwood College we are busy focusing on our present Year 10 students and their subject
selections for their final years at Greenwood as well as directing Year 12 students towards their
pathways from school in to the world of work training and study With this in mind students should be
exploring industries and career pathways In this newsletter I will be detailing relevant and engaging
resources suitable for students at the College
Australiarsquos population is changing The population is getting older more females are in paid work and
the number of school aged children is growing Demand is likely to grow for aged care childcare home
based care and education services
Housing construction investment in infrastructure (like roads railways and airports)
tourism activity and the international education sector are expected to stay strong
The number and type of job openings available in the future will depend on things
like
turnover (workers leaving their job to do things like study move to another job
care for a family member retire or travel)
demand for goods and services
demand for resources
changes in technology
Industry Outlook
Over the 5 years to 2022 the department expects the largest job growth will be in
Health Care and Social Assistance
Professional Scientific and Technical Services
Construction
By 2022 there will probably be fewer jobs in
Manufacturing
Electricity Gas Water and Waste Services
Agriculture Forestry and Fishing
These are important industries and turnover will provide opportunities for workers with the right skills
Some parts of these industries (like Food Product Manufacturing) are expected to
grow
Career Outlook
The department expects there will be many new jobs for Professionals Community
and Personal Service Workers Some of the jobs expected to grow the most are
Registered Nurses
Aged and Disabled Carers
Accountants
Electricians
Some jobs need more training now than they used to (like Child Carers in day care centres) and most of
the new jobs created over the next few years will be higher skilled There are millions of lower skilled
jobs and these can be rewarding careers or pathways to other jobs
Employer needs can change quickly Workers who are willing to learn gain experience and build their
skills will be well placed to find and keep a job
Snapshots of many key industries provide information on salaries in related jobs employment trends in
the industry and what type of work you can expect if you pursue a career in the area Access this link
and explore relevant and up to date information regarding a variety of elements from salary training
and industry growth Over 30 Industries are detailed
wwwgraduatecareerscomaucareerplanningandresourcesexploringyourcareeroptionscareerprofiles
On the Greenwood College immediate front we have many opportunities arising for our students to
complete further training Presently a wealth of opportunities are being offered to students for delivery
at TAFE and other providersrsquo sites for one day a week commencing in 2019 Please keep an eye on the
daily notices and ask your student to continue to visit Ms Gatey for further training opportunities

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

The article is published in Photoreview magazine of June 2018 see the

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

Currently our House is ranked No 1 in the standings and this is due to the outstanding
effort presented by the students and their enthusiasm toward earning House Points And

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

excursions and even exams (Years 10 11 and 12) This provided a variety for the
categories of points earned such as Academic House Points and Behaviour Merit Points
Currently our House is ranked No 1 in the standings and this is due to the outstanding
effort presented by the students and their enthusiasm toward earning House Points And
remember Redbacks every point earned no matter how insignificant it may seem will
add up toward the House Championship So try your best and MAKE CURTIN PROUD

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

CONGRATULATIONS to our Greenwood College Year 12 student NICHOLAS FANTINI who has won a photo
competition of an important Australian magazine Photoreview

The article is published in Photoreview magazine of June 2018 see the

The winning photos are masterful images of two adventurous Latin
America destinations Laguna Colorada in Bolivia and Bloody Red Lake
in the mountains of Chile The waters of these two lagoons have intense
orange hue which is contrasting amazingly with the landscape

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

Hi again Year 8s
This term has been a very busy term and is coming to an end We have had the
Lightning Carnival earlier in the term in which students tried their very best in
Soccer Basketball Netball and Volleyball The PE department were very pleased with how we
represented the school We were also very glad to have a long weekend break after working very hard
for that part of the term
Recently we had Elevate Education visit us and give us a talk called Junior Time Management in which
we learnt about how to balance our personal time with our study and homework We were also
rewarded with a sausage sizzle from Miss Arns and the Student Services team for our hard work this
term
Coming up in week 8 we have our Zero2hero week This week is all about supporting the charity called
Zero2hero which raises money for suicide prevention and was created by an ex-Greenwood student
Throughout the week Student Services have organised special
events such as mechanical bull and an obstacle course and a big
assembly on the Friday
As well as this we have Music Camp in week 8 and a HASS
excursion to Kings Park As you can tell
this is an incredibly busy week In week
9 we are being given our Semester One
Reports hopefully everyone has tried
their best this semester
After all this we have HOLIDAYS
In week 6 students from 41 42 and 43 went on an excursion to the State
Library and the Art Gallery of WA There were 41 of us so we split up into two
groups Each group had a session in the library and in the art gallery
In the Art Gallery we had to search for works of Art using clues and then write down what we saw and
what we thought In the library we attended a session called lsquoFun With Fairytalesrsquo We used ipads to
take photos for fairytales we have been studying Back at school we are using the Book Creator app on
the ipads to retell our fairytale with our photos We all know our fairytales very well now
Students from 31 32 33 and 34 went on an excursion to Caversham Wildlife Park in week 7 They
saw lots of Australian native animals and had a great day out
On 28 June students from the 4s classes will be graduating We are looking forward to the ceremony
and the excursion to bowling Some students will be moving to new schools and we hope they will stay
in touch with the friends they have made at Greenwood
Term 2 started off well with all the Year 7s finally settling into high school
Everyone knows each other and is getting along well In Week 5 it was the
Year 7 Lighting Carnival We had to choose from the sports Netball Volleyball
Soccer and Football and most sports competed against other schools We started training in week 2
with every sport and health lesson spent playing our selected sports Everyone was excited for the
carnival and played to the best of their abilities with two Netball teams placing 3rd in their Division
Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun
As we are coming to the end of Term 2 everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive So far College has
been amazing and we canrsquot wait to see what happens next

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

CONGRATULATIONS to our Greenwood College Year 12 student NICHOLAS FANTINI who has won a photo
competition of an important Australian magazine Photoreview
(wwwphotoreviewcomau)
The article is published in Photoreview magazine of June 2018 see the
relative pages attached
The winning photos are masterful images of two adventurous Latin
America destinations Laguna Colorada in Bolivia and Bloody Red Lake
in the mountains of Chile The waters of these two lagoons have intense
orange hue which is contrasting amazingly with the landscape
The same student has become recently a winner of drone
photography in New Drones of Australia and took a 4th

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

Hi guys This is the second newsletter for the year so far Itrsquos the end of week 7
and a lot has happened Letrsquos outline a few of the eventshellip (Probably not in
chronological order though)
Up first NAPLAN What a nerve-racking week There was a lot of grumbling and
groaning but I think we were all glad to be rid of the tests the next week Unfortunately for us the Big
Science Competition was on the same week More stress am I right But soon all the tests were over and
done with thank goodness for that
The Year 9s were also visited by Mr Luke Kennedy He came to talk to us about the effect labels can have
on us and that these labels donrsquot define us We really hope that every Year 9 present took his words to
heart Also this term the Year 9 Outdoor Education classes went to Rottnest The 9s had a heap of fun
fishing and biking Unfortunately for them though the water was rough and more than a few people were
sick After Rottnest came the School Sports Netball Carnival There were a lot of Year 9 girls participating
and they all had a great time playing against the top schools wining some and losing some The Division
1 team (a group of Year 9s10s) even came first in their division They will be participating in the finals
rounds in Fremantle later on this term
Last but not least the Lightning Carnival The Year 9 Lightning Carnival was yesterday the fourteenth All
the Year 9s participated and had a great fun-filled and enjoyable day The sports that were played were
Volleyball Basketball Netball Football and Soccer The Year 9s played at a range of different venues with
supporters on all sides This yearrsquos carnival was the second last wersquoll ever have and were all really sad
But wersquoll definitely make the most of our last Lightning Carnival next year
Well thatrsquos it for this term Itrsquos only a nine week term but it has been packed So much stuff has
happened some of it fun some of it not so much But wersquore all thoroughly enjoying this term so far and
Irsquom sure when we check in next term wersquoll have lots more to tell
Weve just had our immunisations against Meningococcal and have been
hard at work preparing for the year ahead of us We also have many
upcoming events such as an Interschool Sports Carnival a Drama
performance and the River Cruise
Meningococcal is a hard word to say and an even harder one to spell honestly who even names these
diseases Anyway the Year 10s had our immunisations against it so we most likely wont even have to
care how to say it or spell it For some this needle was their worst nightmare for others it was just a
free lolly and some skipped class time Either way it is over now so we can breathe a sigh of relief
Year 11 and 12 are very crucial years in a studentrsquos schooling so there needs to be a lot of preparation
to ensure theyre done right As Year 10 students going into Year 11 we have been in the process of
selecting our Year 11 subjects We have read the booklets of information about our upcoming subjects
and what they have to offer received our recommendations from our teachers for subjects next year
and had multiple meetings about it all The whole process ends on 22 June when our subject selection
sheets our due into the front office Before then many students and their parents will attend a
counselling session with a designated counsellor to go through their choices on their subject
recommendation sheets What is with all the preparation though Well the school wants us to be
prepared for Year 11 and 12 to ensure we can achieve our WACE (Western Australian Certificate of
Education) and allow for the smoothest transition into upper school ATAR students will most likely
attend university General students will either attend TAFE or seek alternative entrance to university
and Foundation students will most likely be seeking immediate employment in the workforce This all
sounds very scary and sudden but that is why we have lots and lots of preparation Just remember
kids it will be okay
Coming up is our Interschool Sports Carnival where the Greenwood Year 10s compete against Year
10s from various other schools Therell be laughter smiles sweat and maybe even some blood letrsquos
hope not Were sure itll be a fun day for everyone Good luck guys
By the time this article goes to print the Year 10 Drama productions would have concluded Currently
the Year 10 Drama students have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing a compilation of 10
minute plays for everyonersquos enjoyment The production starts on 25 June in the Drama room The
leadership group and Mr Bassanelli have been hard at work planning our Year 10 River Cruise At this
stage it is looking like being held next term in week 7 It is the one and only scheduled social event for
all the Year 10s and should be a fun night
Thank you all for reading Have a nice rest of your term enjoy your holidays and be nice to your mums

First and for most we would like to congratulate Taylor Waterson on achieving a
great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby
both league and union for the Western Force She achieved this while juggling Year
12 ATAR and other school commitments We are very proud to have Taylor as a member of our year
group and we look forward to watching her succeed in the years to come
On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

great milestone in her Rugby career She has represented WA in Women`s Rugby

On another light note Zero2hero day is on Friday 22 June It is a mental health charity that was
founded by an ex-greenwood student and it now runs successfully at a variety of schools across Perth
The charities and the schools that run a Zero2hero day over the years have done a great job at raising
awareness and providing support to those of us that struggle with mental illness This year we are
keeping this tradition alive by extending a day of activities to a week ending on Friday with a whole
school assembly and a free dress day
It will be an especially good day for the Music students who embark on their quest to spread their
talents to the four corners of Perth
To end off we would like to remind Year 12 students about the Leaverrsquos Assembly Committee that will
meet on Monday lunch-times to create the most entertaining assembly of the year All are encouraged
to come and contribute to the last piece of our legacy
Hello all as another exciting term at Greenwood College comes to a close we have
new events exclusive to Year 11s coming up early next semester
Firstly to recap the past 9 weeks ATAR students have sat exams which posed as a
great introduction to our following senior years For those who are disappointed with
their result donrsquot stress there is plenty of time to improve before the second set of exams and for those
who did well keep up the incredible work efforts and keep striving for success Congratulations to
everyone
To all the musosrsquo your camp is just around the corner Enjoy your time in the beautiful Swan Valley
canrsquot wait to hear about it on your return Reminder to those interested in attending the Winter Concert
will be held on the Sunday and the camp in the Swan Valley
As we are sure you are all aware this week is Zero2hero week The whole week is to be filled with
communal activities that are sure to spread the positive vibes At the end of the week for our whole
school assembly we have some very special guests attending and trust us you do not want miss them
Finally the night we have all been waiting for - the Year 11 Formal As it is approaching much quicker
than we all thought We suggest you start looking for an outfit now donrsquot forget to dress to impress
Save the date 16 August - more information will be released soon
In the meantime from your Year 11 councillors we hope you enjoy your well-earned two week break
that is rapidly approaching Enjoy yourself stay safe and we will see you again after the break

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

had the opportunity to earn House Points during Term 2 These events
varied from Volleyball tournaments
such as the SSWA Seniors Volleyball

excursions and even exams (Years 10 11 and 12) This provided a variety for the
categories of points earned such as Academic House Points and Behaviour Merit Points
Currently our House is ranked No 1 in the standings and this is due to the outstanding

Helping your child build healthy relationships Every day we interact with many other people You may not like them or agree with them but everyone deserves respect
Parents play an important role in assisting children and young people to build self-respect This leads to the development
of the values and skills needed to express respect to others There may be some variation in what represents respectful
behaviors across different cultures However in any cultural context respect is about behaviors that convey valuing and
caring about another person Helping your child develop the following skills will help them to form healthy respectful
relationships with peers and adults
Understanding and empathy Encourage your child to think about how another person may feel about something
Empathic listening Teach them to listen and show they understand another personrsquos point of view
Anger Management In times of conflict encourage them to think first before speaking stay calm and avoid hurtful
reactions
Conflict resolution Disagreements are normal in any relationship Itrsquos helpful to teach your child that to work
through a problem by understanding another personrsquos point of view To achieve a compromise or agreement is
better than winning an argument that leaves the other person feeling bullied hurt or embarrassed
Problem-solving and decision making skills Rather than you offering solutions for your childrsquos problems hold back
and support your child to generate a few possible solutions themselves Encourage them to think about the impact
of each option on themselves and others before deciding on their action
Honesty In a relationship where there is trust and acceptance there should be no reason to lie and honesty should
be encouraged
Assertiveness Help your child to learn how to stand up for themselves or to speak up about their values or needs in
a way that is non-confrontational and still respects others

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

On Tuesday 29 May 31 members of the Greenwood College
Vocal Ensemble went on a short excursion to Edith Cowan
University in Mount Lawley and to the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts Every Tuesday during the university
semester the Classical Department puts on a lunchtime concert
at 110pm Sometimes there are visiting artists Sometimes
there are local ones Sometimes there are the university
students themselves On this occasion we were treated to a
spectacular performance by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble led by Michael McCarthy one of Australias
leading specialists in Aural training in particular through the methods laid down by Zoltan Kodaly The
ensemble performed a dazzling array of pieces by Taverner Rheinberger Part Busto Biebl and others
in 4 5 6 8 and 10 part harmony all to a very high standard and all with the utmost dedication to
precision detail and expressive effect At the close of the concert more than one student commented
that some of the harmonies had given them goosebumps They were both surprised and inspired by this
particular effect We often hear about how music and sound can influence the human body but we
d o n t a l w a y s f i n d
ourselves quite so aware
of this experience After a
short afternoon tea the
students then made their
way back to the College in
time for their usual
rehearsal after school Im
so very pleased that the
students enjoyed this
special performance and
look forward to similar
outings in the future
On Friday 15 June the students and staff of the Music Department held it annual Term 2 lunchtime
Amphitheatre Rock Band Concert The Year 11 and Year 12 students of the Certificate II class were
tasked with setting up the ever increasing array of equipment required for these kinds of events Itrsquos
difficult to get these items placed on stage in time to perform let alone connected up working and
sounding as they should It requires considerable preparation and practice on the part of the students
as well as a willingness to sacrifice ones own lunch break for
the entertainment of the school There are always issues to
overcome in order to put this event on The students did an
excellent job under the circumstances First up were the Year
10-12 Senior Rock Band The Nameless with Hysteria Our
second item was presented by the Year 9-10 Intermediate
Rock Band Legacy with Rain Our third and fourth items
were presented by the Year 7-9 Junior Rock Bands Fire amp Ice
and Capacity performing Wild Thing and Better than
Revenge respectively The event serves to entertain the
students of the College as well as create a date that the
ensembles must be prepared for before then embarking on
the annual Primary School Music Tour The lunchtime concert
was very well attended with few seats spare around the
Amphitheatre My thanks to Mr Swain and Mrs Pattison the
ensembles directors for their hard work dedication and
willingness to go above and beyond to prepare our students
for these performances I am very proud of our students work
and look forward to showcasing their talents at Goollelal and
Halidon Primary School on Friday 22 June

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

The article is published in Photoreview magazine of June 2018 see the

The winning photos are masterful images of two adventurous Latin
America destinations Laguna Colorada in Bolivia and Bloody Red Lake
in the mountains of Chile The waters of these two lagoons have intense
orange hue which is contrasting amazingly with the landscape

With the World Cup in full swing it would be fair to say that Soccer has never been so popular at
Greenwood College The 2018 season saw the school field 3 Teams Senior Boys u18rsquos that are led by
Dale Gannaway with the intermediate boys (u16) and Senior Girls (u18) being coached by yours truly
The biggest group we had by far was the intermediate boys We had too many for one team but not quite
enough for two which proves that there is a huge demand for the sport here Senior Girls had a mix of
junior and more experienced players while the Senior Boys has mostly experienced players with some
debutants stepping up from last years intermediate boys team
The Senior Girls had some brilliant moments in their season
Captained by Raquyah Hameed they showed some real promise in
their first game despite going down 3-0 to Duncraig SHS Their
second game against Carine SHS was far better with more
possession and shots on goal but neither team was able to break
the deadlock and the girls walked away with their first points with 0
-0 draw A forfeit from Mater Dei gave the girls their first win but
their best game was their last game against Quinns Baptist College
The Girls lost 4-1 to them last year however this time around lead
the game 1-0 right into the second half when a mixture of fatigue
as well as a heavy dose rain saw Quinns score 2 quick goals to win the match 2-1 Our standout players
throughout the season were Chelsea Downes Asha Malde and Jacinta and Isobel Boyce
The Intermediate Boys had another tough season however the
score lines were remarkably smaller than last season A crunching
7-1 loss to Ashdale followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Shenton
showed the boys were improving Their last game against
Churchlands was very tight in the first half with multiple chances
on goal in the first half but somehow not finding the back of the
net The second half saw Churchlands run away with a 6-0 win
Honourable mentions go to Milad Safari Jigme Dorji and Atanas
Atanasav
The Senior Boys had a mixed season They started well with a resounding 3-0 win over St Stephens the
following week saw a narrow loss to Mater Dei despite the boys playing some brilliant soccer A forfeit
from Quinns gave them a 3-0 win on paper and they needed to win their recent clash with Balga SHS to
keep their finals hopes alive Sadly despite some valiant efforts from the likes of OT Mbafumoja Regis
Gatambiye Ahmed Omer and Aaron Deeks it wasnrsquot enough with Balga taking a 2-0 win There is one
more game left in the group stage which will be an away game on 25 June against Duncraig SHS
Despite our season earlier than we normally would like you can still enjoy the World Cup

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

The Year 9 Outdoor Education class set out on a fishing expedition to Rottnest island on Thursday
31 May The class spent weeks preparing for the expedition learning how to set up rigs tie knots
cast out and how to snag a big one The week leading up to Rottnest had high anticipation
throughout the class the question was ldquowho was going to get the biggest catchrdquo
As the morning arrived a dark and cold chill shivered through everyone ldquooh wait thatrsquos just the
weatherrdquo A storm had decided to hit the Perth coast in full force and provided not only challenging
fishing conditions but a crazy boat ride over The weather didnrsquot seem to dampen the morale of the
class although the boat ride would soon change this You know itrsquos a good start to a boat ride when
they hand you a sick bag as you boardhelliphellip
As we left Hillaryrsquos harbour there was laughter and jokes getting thrown around until the boat
stepped out into the ocean swell and the only thing that was getting thrown around were screams from
students and the odd little vomit Some thought this was the end With the skill of the Captain or just
luck of the draw we landed safe on the island With the crazy ride over there was a sigh of relief ldquoyayrdquo
fishing time
We had keen fishermen on our hands We delegated the fishing gear out and started our trek by foot
our destinationmdash the Army jetty The fish were about to get a shock
As we arrived it was still pouring with rain and down to 10 degrees but this didnrsquot stop any ldquooutdoor
eagersrdquo With the likes of AJ no shoes no jumper and just shorts he was running to the water to get
first cast and have the chance of bragging rights for the first catch Within minutes there wasnrsquot a ldquodryrdquo
seat in the house with all students out wetting a line
Moral was high although it was a slow start to the day The only thing getting reeled in was seaweed or a
cold BANG Harry Burt is on The rod has a big bend to it and it looks to be a big onehellip hold onhellip waithellip
what is that thing ldquoSir I caught someonersquos underwearrdquo Well at least we werenrsquot going home empty
handed
With the first catch being a pair of underwear things were starting to look south The class kept at it
battling the weather they started to hit the target The fish were biting and the race was on The fish
started to get pulled in and the smiles and bragging rights started to flow The rain still coming down
sideways in buckets While Mr Tippet Mrs Tkachenko and Mr Gillespie tackled the weather with the
students Mr Walczak kept cosy under the shelter with his knitted blanket and gloves With the fishing
coming to an end Jayden was crowned Champion Angler with a total count of 12 fish Despite the
protest from Harry with his imaginary 10ft snapper that magically got away
With the gear packed up it was time to start the hike back to the boat With the boat ride we had
coming to Rottnest I think the return boat ride was on everyonersquos thoughts With a small debrief of the
day and a bit of free time to go get some food we boarded the boat and set sail for Hillaryrsquos boat
harbour The ride home was smooth sailing as the wind was low and we had the swell on our side A
safe landing at the boat harbour had topped off the trip of on a good note and left everyone with plenty
of stories to tell

O U T D O O R E D ( P R A C T E A C H E R )
The 1st of June - day two of the Year 9s fishing expedition had commenced The sun was out spirits
were high and the sea was friendly to 50 of the class which managed to keep their breakfast in
In a lot of ways group oneday 1 and group twoday 2 were polar opposites The boat ride on the
second day was majestic compared to the ldquorollierdquo tides on day one Thunderstorms and heavy rain
one day - bright and sunny days on the next Day two students were blessed to say the least
Mr Bean kept those of who didnrsquot vomit entertained for the 40-45-minute trip with his timeless
humour Mr Gillespie tried working on his lesson plans but soon realised student numbers of sea
sickness was on the rise and other students were growing restless The seasick students were
quickly bundled upstairs to grab some fresh air with teachers to console them and their upset stomachs
Arriving at Rottnest the students were eager to replenish their recently empty stomachs putting Subway
and the local bakery into overdrive On a personal note the pies and pastries were an absolute dime
and are a MUST try After the students consumed the majority of Subwaysrsquo stock and took many selfies
with quokkas as physically possible we set out to acquire our sweet rides for the day
Mr Tippet refused Mr Gillespiersquos offer to take a tandem bike and was therefore designated the work
horse for the day and was given the trailer to cart around Mrs Tkachenko was the ever proficient and
gallant ldquopack leaderrdquo Mr Erwin the squad ldquomechanicmedicrdquo and Mr Gillespie was ldquochief motivatorall-
round utilityrdquo The students were responsible for their own equipment and had become giddy with
excitement once the sweet rides were obtained
We then set off to Salmon Bay to fish the sea dry There were ups and downs but there were more ups
then downshellip then we arrived Mr Erwinsrsquo skill as a bike technician came in handy multiple times on the
arduous journey while the students struggled to keep pace with the lightning fast Mrs Tkachenko Mr
Tippet took the fable of the tortoise and the hair very literally and kept a solid pace the entire way giving
his well-manicured legs a workout he would never forget
The word lsquoscenicrsquo comes to mind when reaching our destination with the lighthouse in the background
the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing

the sun beaming down the beautiful hilly terrain meeting the rocks and the tide gracefully touching the
sand with seaweed in massive clumps creating an interesting aroma Were we lucky to be fishing today
Now it was time for all the ground work done in class to rise to the occasion and begin fishing The girls
went off to a flying start and finished the day with a grand total of 37 fish Special mentions to Ella
Mason and Ashley Mathies who contributed ten fish between them and Marli Rabe who contributed with
a hefty four
Atanas Atanasoy caught the ldquoCATCH OF THE DAYrdquo - a 30cm Skippy which he took home for dinner
Sasha Babic and Rory Noonan had four each After the long glorious successful day we managed to
pack up without a hitch and ride back along the smooth road of Rottnest Except Mr Tippet (the work
horse) had to cart the supplies back with no help The students then tracked down the quokkas for more
selfies and finished their day with delicious pies and Subway before the setting sail back to the
motherland
Mr Bean managed to keep the extremely tired students entertained Their stomachs had settled we set
off once again having conquered Rottenest to our rear and dry land to our front In summary everyone
had a great day coming home wreaking of successful fishing
