in consultation with the P&C Association regarding

the Year 12 Formal. At this stage given the

COVID19 restrictions, options are significantly

limited.

Regular sport including contact sport commencing at

the usual time of 1.45pm has recommenced at

school. Additionally, external adult providers to

support delivery of curriculum, school photos, white

card training and face to face TAFE etc has also

resumed.

School camps and excursions other than field trips;

parents and carers attending assemblies; parent

information evenings and large on-site cultural or

sporting events currently remain on hold.

Casino High School continues with all hygiene

measures recommended to prevent infection. It is

recommended that students bring water bottles from

home to fill at the water taps rather than drink

directly from the bubblers. We vigilantly ensure best

practice to keep our students, staff and community

safe and healthy.

The restriction on student use of mobile phones at

school during school hours has been particularly

successful. All staff and most students agree that

without this distraction the teaching and learning

process has been significantly improved. I would like

to thank all parents and carers for their support in

the implementation of this initiative.

Please stay healthy and safe and I look forward to a

time when we can resume normal school activities.

11PDHPE - Personal Development, Health & Physical Education

Our 11PDHPE elective students have just completed their ‘First Aid’ Option as part of their Preliminary course. Students enjoyed putting the theory into practice through several first aid workshops.

‘A work in progress’ Success!!’

‘All good Jake – you’re in good hands’

12SLR - Sport, Lifestyle & Recreation

It’s been almost two years, but our 12SLR class were the first elective class to gain access to our newly built and redesigned multi-purpose Canteen Area. The addition of lights, improved ventilation and insulation is going to make this redeveloped teaching and learning space a much used and appreciated outside classroom.

Years 7 – 10 Dance Program

Our Dance program in PDHPE lessons is in full swing across all Year 7 to 10 classes.

Year 10 classes get onboard with great enthusiasm as they develop their skill in learning a variety of dances such as the ‘Pride of

Erin’ and the Latin American dance, the ‘Cha-Cha’. All is looking good for their formal dance assessment scheduled for Week 3.

Year 9 Child Studies

Term 3 is an exciting time for Year 9 Child Studies students. Throughout the term students will be learning

the skills required to care for a newborn baby. This includes changing nappies, settling, swaddling, feeding

and bathing. While learning these skills in the classroom, all students will have the opportunity to take

home a “Virtual Baby” for a night. This is a computerised infant simulator which will cry and follow the

actual schedules of different newborn babies. It is the responsibility of the student to tend to the baby’s

needs. This program assists students to learn and understand that:

the demands of a newborn baby are unpredictable,

newborn’s require a great deal of time and attention and

the responsibilities of parenting will significantly change one’s lifestyle.

Once the student returns the Infant Simulator, the teacher is able to view incidences of neglect or rough

handling, as well as other data.

The Farm

It was a dry hot day

The air was sticky and sweaty

Rain was on its way

The smell was tingling in my throat

I could feel the tension

Water ran down my neck as the sky turned black

Drips of rain fell from the gloomy dark sky

It was finally here

The dry rough ground, the cool air, the animals

groaned and laid down for a rest

Peace at last, I can now rest.

By Kaden Evans Year 7N

Horse Riding

The sound of the roaring wind fills my ears

I can see my horse's head leaping as I knock the

barrel down

I felt let down but I have to keep going

The taste of the dust is at the back of my throat

I touch the reins and my horse's mane

The fast riding makes me feel excited

as the smell of the leathery saddle overcomes me

I am blown away with the effort

and power of my horse.

By Grace Rapmund Year 7N
