NEWSLETTER Telephone: 02 66551 315 Fax: 02 66552 630 Website: http://www.bellingen-h.schools.nsw.edu.au

From the Principal

Welcome to the first newsletter of Term 4, as the year continues to roll

on towards its end! We’ve started with a rather wet playground but it

seems to be warming considerably as the fortnight has continued.

The term has already started with quite a bang! After a very

emotional Year 12 Farewell Assembly, where Mr Holding had the

opportunity to say goodbye and the new Director Educational Leadership, Ms Sue Brown,

attended to see how Bellingen High farewells Year 12, there were compliments aplenty for

the formality and gravity of the occasions and for the way Year 12 comported themselves,

with the speeches and the entertainment receiving many rave accolades. Over the course of

the holidays, many study sessions were held on site by staff willing to give of their time to

ensure that students felt confident and comfortable in the prelude to their exam period.

Thanks, particularly, to Mr Neville and Mr Gyenes who were the coordinators of the holiday

program. The exams formally started last Thursday, October 18th, with English, Paper One.

More than 67,000 students across the State of NSW and at satellite centres around the globe

sat that exam and the general feeling after it was that it was fair, and that the questions were

not a great surprise – there were no ‘curve balls’. From there, the exams continue for three

weeks, with Visual Arts being the last paper exam held. We wish each and every Year 12

student the very best of good fortune in these exams. They’ve been well prepared at

Bellingen High and now it is their opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge they have

accumulated in the last two years of Stage 6 instruction.

The rest of the school has also undertaken some tremendous works since the term has begun

– and, for some, even in the holidays. Mr Boyd took a willing bunch of students away to the

Taree Show in the holidays and some of the students were even interviewed and on TV –

yes, we are in the midst of some newfound media personalities! The cattle club have also

been to Lismore and are heading to Dorrigo Show as well – it’s really a very busy time of

year if you are any way Ag inclined! Students benefit greatly from the exposure to the show

environment and the competition that entails; learning more of the skills involved and also

getting to meet and associate with students of the same ilk. It’s a wonderful opportunity and

I thank Mr Boyd very much for his dedication out of ordinary school hours and timeframes to

ensure our students get maximum exposure to these experiences. I’d also like to thank Mr

Webb and Mr Borg for their efforts organising the Eddie Woo excursion for our students. We

were very lucky to have a professional educator of the calibre of Eddie Woo talk, live and

breathe all things maths with our students – enthusing them to live their educational life to the

full and to love maths as much as he does (OK – that was a bit of a stretch, but he is pretty

passionate about everyone loving maths). More thanks to Mrs Borgert for taking the orchestra

to New England Sings! last weekend and performing on Sunday in two concert events.

Wonderful, rapturous reports about the quality and calibre of musicianship as well as how well

our students were received because of their adult behaviour and maturity abounded: this is a

credit to Pru, to each student and to their families – who they represented with pride and

passion for their music. A special thanks also to Mrs Gorman for her efforts with the

organisation of Early Entry and Scholarship information for Year 12 and for the organisation

and administration of the TAFE Tasters program, which allows our students to have the

opportunity to try a variety of TAFE courses on offer to see, for example, if a particular career

path is what a student thinks it will be and if they are suited to it; it also gives ideas for senior

patterns of study and it also allows students to see the possibilities available to them in the

world of employment and how career paths can be opened up to them.

Preparations for the 2019 Camp Creative are underway and I was so impressed with the

involvement of both former Principals, Mr Bob Stockton and Mr Paul Holding. Camp

Creative is something so very dear to the community’s heart and, obviously, to these fine men,

who are still involved, even after their tenure at Bellingen High to ensure that young people in

this area are assured of wonderful opportunities. It’s a testament to the value they place on

young people as the primary component of the fabric of our community and our nation’s

future. I feel very honoured and privileged to be able to follow in their footsteps and to

experience my first camp creative this summer.

Keeping a site like Bellingen High School clean is a very difficult task. I ask students to ensure

they do their part and assist the cleaners by making waste management a priority. No litter in

the playground. Picking up any rubbish in classrooms before they leave. We actually face a

cleaner shortage and are, in fact, one cleaner short on site here. If you know of anyone

interested in contract, cleaning work, please contact Vicky Garrett of ISS on 0437 477197 as

soon as possible. Bellingen High is not the only school in this area in need of a cleaner, so

there is plenty of work about.

Uniform remains a source of some consternation for us at Bellingen High School. Denim IS

NOT and NEVER WILL BE a part of the uniform code – particularly for juniors. Shorts on girls

should be able to be measured using the ‘fingertips’ rule (hands by sides and the length is

measured according to the longest finger at your side). Many do not meet this requirement.

T-Shirts, especially those with logos or cartoons are not permitted. A school logo shirt is the

preferred option, but a collared polo shirt in the appropriate colour is the next best option. If

finances are an issue in securing uniform, please contact the school. We are only too happy to

assist with this essential purchase and believe it vital to promoting positive school culture.

Exams are very quickly approaching. I suggest a study regime at home that involves parents in

asking relevant questions and reviewing subject materials, setting up small quizzes for your

students at home. If you need help in doing this, please contact the school and an appropriate

staff member will get back in touch to assist in any way that we can. Your student is our

primary focus and ensuring they maximise their potential and achieve academic growth each

chronological year is crucial to their development and their feeling of self-worth in the

school setting. Anything that assists us in assisting them achieve has to be a positive thing!

Any way we can help empower parents in their journey with an adolescent brain in the

house (and those brains and the neuroscience attached to this time of growth and

development can be a scary prospect for many) is also important – after all, we are on this

journey together.

Enough for another fortnight, I dare say!

Careers News

Name: Hugo Couper

Year left BHS: 2016

Current Job: I'm currently working

as a builder and training as a pilot in the Rockies. I currently have a private

pilot's licence and own a small taildragger that I'm using to build time

for my commercial licence.

Subjects studied in Years 11/12:

IT Metal, Society and Culture, Physics,

Biology and English.

Challenges and Inspirations

I guess the most challenging aspect of

what I'm doing currently is living so far

from my family. Apart from that I'd

say I'm pretty much living the dream.

Career pathway since leaving school After school I worked for nine months, bought a plane ticket to Canada, got a job as a

ski lift operator then a labourer for a building company. I then set about spending my savings on aviation and ski gear.

Advice to current students My advice to current students would be to take a good stab at the task at hand and

then to follow your nose. You'll more likely than not find a way of doing what you want to do, but always stay open to suggestions.

Ex Student Career Spotlight

Year 10 Careers Classes The start of Work Experience on the 26th

November is fast approaching. Forms were due to be returned last term. Please ensure forms are completed and returned to school ASAP. Work experience is a

valuable opportunity for students to explore career options. Careers classes will be visiting the Bellingen Shire Library during Weeks 3 and 4 to learn about accessing free HSC and Careers resources. Permission notes have been issued, please ensure these are returned to the Front Office as soon as possible.

Years 10, 11 & 12 WHS White Card Opportunity If your child

needs a WHS White Card to enable them to work on a building site for work experience and/or after school employment, this is being offered at school on Wednesday 7th November. This will be a 'face to face' course where a TAFE

teacher will run through all the training and assessments. There will be NO

online component or uploading of evidence required. Cost is usually over $120, however Bellingen High Careers are subsidising this course so all you pay is $60. Places are limited. Notes available from the Careers Noticeboard or Front Office.

Years 9, 10 & 11 TAFE YES Program Term 4 starts this week.

Thank you to TAFE for providing this excellent opportunity for our students to

explore career options. There are still a few vacancies in some courses, see Mrs Gorman if interested.

Year 10 School Based Traineeships (also applies to Year 9 in

some cases) A local nursing home are offering School Based

Traineeships in Hospitality, Nursing/Individual Support and Horticulture. This is an excellent chance to gain paid work, training and skills while still completing your HSC. See Mrs Gorman ASAP if interested.

From the Ag Plot Japanese Student Visit

Last week our school farm received a visit from six Japanese school students from Hokkaido. This program is co-ordinated by Southern Cross University.

They were fortunate to see our school farm between heavy showers. Despite the mud, they were most impressed at how knowledgeable our students were on “all things agricultural” when Brooklyn Davis, Sam Rowe and Dalton Bailey led an impromptu tractor demonstration, and also showed the students how to bottle feed our newest lambs.

Taree Show Report

The Cattle Team competed in the middle weekend of the school holidays at the Taree Show (Thursday 4th to Saturday 6th October) and came home with some major awards:

Champion Red Poll

Champion Square Meater

Champion Small Breeds

Champion School Light Heifer

Jessica Sanders qualified to compete at the 2019 Sydney Royal Easter Show in three sections - Fruit and Vegetable Judging 2nd, Grain Judging 1st and Meat Sheep Judging 2nd

Most pleasing was many students earned places in the junior section of the judging and parading competitions. I look forward to these young competitors qualifying to compete at the 2020 Sydney Royal Easter Show.

A huge thankyou to Mr Borgert, Krista Nolan, Jane and Andy Sanders for looking after us over the weekend. It was very wet, which led to some challenges that were met, managed, and beaten. Everyone is looking forward to attending the Taree Show next year, and sleeping in the Manning Valley Pigeon Club shed, once more.

Bring on next year!

2018 Red Poll Cattle Camp

A group of twelve keen students travelled to Glenn Innes on Friday 12th October, to participate in the Red Poll Cattle Camp on the last three days of the school holidays. The camp challenged the students to look after a heifer independently. Everyone learned and practiced their skills at knot tying, halter making, clipping, show preparation, judging and parading.

The students made friends with agriculture students from across northern NSW, and made valuable contacts in the Red Poll Society.

A big thankyou to the parents who travelled to Glen Innes, and for allowing your children the chance to learn from experts in the cattle industry. Looking forward to the 2019 Camp!

North Coast National Show Lismore

The Cattle Show Team travelled to Lismore last Wednesday 17th with a bull, 2 cows with calves, 2 heifers and 3 steers. This was more cattle than any other school, and more than most of the exhibitors. Bellingen High School presented well, was very visible, and competed in every competition throughout the three days of the show.

The students did a great job washing and preparing the cattle for the show ring. Some of the show highlights were:

Lismore Show Cattle Judging Chelsea Nolan 2nd

Light Weight Steer Competition 3rd

Dairy Cattle Junior Judging Emily Sutherland 1st Matthew Borgert 2nd Sam Borgert 3rd

Dairy Cattle Senior Judging Chelsea Nolan 1st – she qualifies for the 2019 Royal Easter Show

Red Poll Cattle Champion Male, Champion Female, Champion of Breed

Square Meater Cattle Champion Female, Champion of Breed

Bellingen High School was awarded “Champion School”. A well-deserved award, with everyone working consistently over four long days.

A big thankyou to Ms Greentree for coming to the camp and looking after us, Mr Borgert for transporting students to Armidale, and Peter Nolan for being such a great camp father. Well done everyone. A great Show. Can’t wait for next year.

Bell-Hy Dorper Stud Lambs

One of our stud Dorper ewes gave birth to twins last Tuesday in horrific weather conditions. With a lot of care, and tremendous assistance from Jane Molloy, both the twins, and mum, seem to be out of the danger period. Our other stud ewe is due to lamb this week.

These are the first purebred Dorper lambs born on the farm, and will be taken to many shows, beginning with Guyra next year. Stephen Boyd Agriculture and Primary Industries Teacher

Our Canteen has a Makeover

Bellingen High School Canteen is now sporting a

bright new look on the outside to match last year’s

interior refurbishment.

Canteen Manager Karen De La Cruz is delighted by

the finished exterior, which includes a huge wall

mural created by Year 10 student, Piper Clohessy

(pictured).

Piper spent countless hours designing the mural and

has done an amazing job. The mural is fun, colourful

and quirky. It also features many elements of

different subjects offered within the school.

The mural complements the framed billboard size menus and photo menu and

creates a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

There is a wonderful canteen crew of up to 25 students from Year 7 to Year 10,

volunteering their time during recess and lunch on rostered shifts.

The students benefit from valuable team-building and workforce skills, and

through this experience they obtain knowledge in stock rotation, customer service

and cash register skills. This results in many students successfully gaining after

school employment within their local communities.
