Battle of the Colleges 2018

The Callaghan College, Wallsend Campus hosted this year’s

inter-school sporting challenge, Battle of the Colleges.

The three day excursion allowed Year 8 and Year 9 boys and

girls to participate in a range of sporting activities against

three other College Campus including; Dubbo College-Dubbo

South Campus, Brisbane Waters-Umina Campus,

Callaghan College-Wallsend Campus.

This is the first year the competition kicked off on the Wednesday. Forster Campus students travelled down and

had a bonding experience at 10pin bowling with Nathan Koutts show casing some talent on the bowling alley.

Competition kicked off that afternoon with Netball being held prior to a gala dinner. All students enjoyed the

first day of action and even more so the opportunity to make new friends on the first night.

Touch Football, 6 aside soccer, Ultimate Frisbee and Soft Lacrosse were all played on the Thursday all at

Broadmeadow Hockey Centre with some excellent match play across the range of sports. Thursday night, all

students attended a disco at Wallsend Diggers which again proved a great opportunity for our students to make

some new friends. Friday saw another early rise and off to Broadmeadow Tennis Centre for the final events of

Dodgeball and Extra Large Volleyball. All students competed with great sportsmanship and represented the

school with great pride. Wallsend Campus were crowned the winners of the competition, with special mention

to Josie Mason of the Year 8 girls team taking out player of the tournament!

Well done Josie.

COLLEGE SPORT


Year 8 Girls

The year 8 girls’ team were the most competitive side from Forster Campus. We opened up with 2/3 wins in

Netball only losing to Wallsend. Player’s player for Netball was Nerys Denley. Thursday competition began with

Touch Football. There was some outstanding play and the girls were undefeated. Player’s player for Touch

Football was Abbey Chapman. Round 2 saw us playing Ultimate Frisbee which was a fairly new sport for our

girls where we won 1/3 games in very close matches. Ultimate Frisbee Players Player was Josie Mason. Soccer

on the small field was also very competitive with close games. Eliza Bramble was the Players Player. The last

rotation was soft lacrosse which everyone loved playing. Charlize Everitt was Players Player. On Friday we

played Dodgeball and XL Volleyball. The girls had enjoyable and

close matches in both sports. Dodgeball Player’s Player was

Evie Whitton and XL Volleyball Players Player was Sam

Gwynne. The team became close allies with Umina and the

girls supported and cheered each team on with great

sportsmanship. Overall, Year 8 girls came Second.

Congratulations to Josie Mason who was the Year 8 Girls Player

of the Tournament.

Year 8 Boys

The year 8 boys team competed to an extremely high standard over the 3 days of competition. Up against it

with a team of 10 in a 12 player competition, the boys got the most out of each other and worked extremely

well as a team. The boys got off to a flying start with a win again Umina in Netball however were quickly

brought back to earth against Dubbo and Wallsend. Wednesday night at the Gala Dinner saw a great act of

kindness when a student from another school dropped his plate full of food and Xavier Robertson Reynolds

stopped and helped him pick up his mess. Well done Xavier. Thursday morning the boys started at 6 aside

Soccer. Xavier and Riley Stocker both showed off their excellent skills and the boys took 2 wins and a loss out of

Soccer. Next up was Soft Lacrosse, the boys again got a win and a bonus point out of Soft Lacrosse. After lunch

the boys went out and played some Touch. After Tom Williams went down in the first game with a calf injury

and after already having a short bench, fatigue started to set in and the boys did not take anything out of

Touch. Last for Thursday was Ultimate Frisbee, again fatigue was a big factor, the boys continued to show a

positive outlook and made some friends from all over NSW. Friday saw the boys arrive and get straight into

Dodgeball, our boys who were quietly confident, had a steep reality check and walked away with 0 points from

Dodgeball. Last but not least was XL volleyball. First game of XL

volleyball same the boys step up and gain 2 vital points for

Forster Campus. The boys then took another 2 losses to finish

the competition. All things aside, the boys competed to the

best of their abilities in all competitions, worked tremendously

as a team and were a delight to be around. Bring on 2019 in

Dubbo!

Yr 9 Girls

Day one of competition saw the girls compete in 3 games of netball. With bonus points on offer, the girls

were keen to show their skills. We defended strong with Mya McNamara and Minni Hughes in GK and GD.

Unfortunately we didn’t come away with a win, although Logan Palmer in GS had her eye in allowing us to

gain some bonus points. Competition on day one was shortly followed by dinner at Mayfield Diggers, where

the girls from all 4 schools came together and socialised before heading home for some much needed rest.

Day 2 was jammed packed competing in Frisbee, Lacrosse, Touch and Soccer. The girls held their own

against Wallsend in Frisbee, gaining 2 bonus points. Beautiful control and tactual awareness from Jade

Cremin and Brooke Horvath saw for some amazing team plays. Gemma Workum’s speed was put on show

during touch, where she made a 30m sprint to score the first try of the game. Great defence from Ruby

Camilleri helped keep us in the match. Kirra-lei Hiles was our star player during lacrosse, her speed, agility

and control where levels above the rest. The last sport of the day was soccer, the girls thought this would be

our strongest sport, they were correct. Winning game one 11—nil, walking away with maximum points

after a win and 3 bonus points, the girls were very happy. The girls need to be applauded on their behav-

iour, sportsmanship, enthusiasm and ability to represent GLC at a very high standard.

Thursday morning the girls were faced with end zone as the first sport we competed in, not only were we

unsure of all the rules but so were the referees. However, the girls stepped up to the challenge and came

away with a win, draw and a loss. Soccer was next, naturally we were very confident to deliver 3 wins. Key

players, Mya McNamara and Annabelle Adamson helped us with 2 wins and draw. At this stage of the day, it

was clear that the Wallsend girls were a level above the rest. We made it our mission to beat them, and that

we did in Dodge ball. The year 8 girls of GLC smashed the swim relay and came in a close second. Friday saw

the girls take it to another level, walking away with a win in the wade and tug of war. The girls need to be

applauded on their behaviour, sportsmanship, enthusiasm and ability to represent GLC at a very high

standard.

Year 9 Boys

Year 9 boys consisted of some new faces this year for our Battle of the College competition. All of which should

be commended for their effort and commitment to be selected for the team, and this was evident throughout

the entire competition. Facing formidable opposition from Umina, Dubbo and Wallsend, Great Lakes College

knew they would have to be on their A-game to post points throughout the competition.

The GLC team consisted of some very high level players on the soccer field and were the team to beat. They

notched a close win over Umina to kick off proceedings, Umina fielding an Australian futsal player who was an

outstanding competitor. But teamwork, excellent skill and communication and an amazing individual goal by

Angus Robertson to seal the win, got us the victory. The boys then went on undefeated throughout the 6 a side

rounds.

Returning as undefeated dodgeball champions, the boys were keen to solidify themselves as again the team to

beat, and did not disappoint. They again took out the Dodgeball undefeated, scoring bonus points in each game

to conclude to competition. Those bonus points being imperative, as they eventually added to the difference to

scrape GLC in to third position overall.

Ryan Williamson was voted ‘Mr Consistency’, displaying excellent skill and effort throughout all competitions.

Noah Piper was voted by his peers as ‘Players Player’, no doubt from his competitiveness and game sense shown

throughout all competitions, and his amazing communication skills which were evident whilst directing his team.

Nick Kianou was also voted as a finalist for overall player of the tournament, but unfortunately was pipped at the

post by a competitor from Dubbo.

All students should be commended on their efforts and particularly their outstanding sportsmanship and

behaviour over the three day competition

Elevate Education

On Thursday 1st November, our Year 9 students were given

a motivating presentation from ‘Elevate Education’. Elevate

Education draw on research into the habits of the country’s

top students, to deliver high impact seminars & workshops

throughout Australia to help students improve their study

techniques, increase motivation, build confidence, and lift

exam performance. This particular seminar looked at study

skills with a specific focus on preparation for the Week 5

examinations. Students will also benefit from a follow up

program which will be integrated into their lessons. The

feedback from our students was very positive and we have

invited Elevate Education to come back in February of next

Year for a ‘Time Management’ themed seminar.

UNE Future of Work Event

In Week 8 of Term 3, we took 15 students to the ‘Future of Work’ event

which was put on by the University of New England. The two day

excursion began at the UNE campus in Armidale where students were

checked in to their student accommodation at the Duval College.

Students were given a full campus tour from current UNE students before

returning to the college for dinner. After dinner students were taken to

the Armidale Sport and Recreation Club for an enjoyable evening of

tenpin bowling and roller skating. The following day, students were back

on the coach and were driven to Tamworth for the main event at the

Entertainment Centre. Here, students were treated to a presentation

from Google’s Chief Education Evangelist; Jamie Casap who had recently

flown in from the USA. Jamie discussed the way in which the world of

work is changing, the effect of automation and robotics on occupations

and ways that students need to change their way of thinking in order to

survive and thrive in the modern day job market. With Jamie’s words

ringing their ears, students then embarked on the coach journey back to

school after an inspirational couple of days.


Baker Shield Cricket

After it had to be rearranged three times due to the weather, our U14 boys were finally able to play their

first two rounds of the 2018 Baker Shield cricket tournament. The games took place at Gloucester District

Park on Wednesday 31st October in glorious sunshine. Our boys were drawn against Gloucester High in the

first round and recorded a resounding victory by batting second and comfortably chasing down 47 runs.

In the next game, we were pitted against Tuncurry Campus who had previously beaten Wingham High.

Tuncurry came out on top on this occasion and it was great to see both of the college’s 7—10 campuses in

the ‘mini grand final’ on the day. All students were excellently behaved throughout and were a credit to

our campus and college.

First Aid Course

On September 18th, 26 of our Year 9 and 10 students completed their ‘Provide First Aid’ qualification.

The nationally recognised one day course was completed onsite and was delivered by trainers from the

Australian Surf Lifesaving Academy. As well as gaining critical first aid skills, the qualification helps bolster

student’s resumes and two of the course graduates who have part-time jobs subsequently received small

pay rises from their employers as a result of them completing the course.

Year 6 Transition.

Week 3 this term saw this year’s Transition Team working in each of the Primary partner schools in the local

area. It has been fantastic to be a part of this process and witnessing the amazing work our primary schools

are doing with our future students. Each of the primary teachers of Year 6 sat with the Transition Team and

shared their wealth of knowledge about each student, highlighting their incredible work and the strong

relationships they have developed. Throughout the week, the team was fortunate enough to have the

opportunity to meet with every individual student to discuss high school. Students were able to ask

questions and share any interests and concerns they may have had. This process has been invaluable in

supporting both students and future teachers in the transition from primary school to high school at Great

Lakes College Forster Campus.

Parent Information Night will be held at 6pm on the 27th of November to give further information regarding

the transition of year 6 students, and will be held in the MPH.

Orientation Day will occur on the 4th of December where all students will be having a whole day experience

in high school life which will include tours and mini taster lessons. GLC is excited to have all students

attending in 2019.

Deputy Principal’s Report

Term 4 is always a busy time. Our students will complete their final assessments as the culmination of a year’s

work, our teachers will finalise assessment data and report on student progress, our school is planning for 2019

and our school community will celebrate the achievement of our students and school through end of year

events.

Week 5 marks our official examination period, when some subjects will hold examinations either in class or in

the MPH. A schedule for these examinations will be published and distributed to students before Week 5.

If students are unable to complete an examination or assessment task at the set time, they are required to

complete an Illness/Misadventure form which, if approved, may enable them to complete the examination or

submit the task in advance or after the due date. Students should obtain this form from their classroom

teachers and subject head teachers before the task is due.

As part of the financial planning for next year, our school audits the current intake of student fees. While we

acknowledge the additional burden that subject and additional program fees may add to some household

budgets, collection of fees enables us to allocate resources to best support all students in our school.

Parents are reminded that students with outstanding fees may not be able to participate in non-mandatory

activities that incur a cost. Parents/carers experiencing difficulty in making school financial commitments are

encouraged to apply for a payment plan or financial assistance from the Principal.

Keeping children and young people safe in an online world can be a challenge. MidCoast Council in conjunction

with Mission Australia are running a free parenting master class aimed at educating parents about the positive

benefits of technology, as well as things of which they need to be aware to keep their children safe. The event

is on Tuesday 27th November 2018 starting at 5:00pm at Club Forster. To register please go to:

Great Lakes Learning Community STEM CAMP October 24/25

A two-day STEM camp was organised and created by the Great Lakes Learning

Community over two days in October. Staff from Newcastle University delivered

the workshop at Great Lakes College Forster Campus. From Great Lakes College

Tuncurry Campus, the Year 9 elective class attended the event.

Students participated in a range of coding activities and programming

challenges. Robots used included Lego Mindstorm EV3’s and the “Sphero”.

Students programmed the robots to perform specific tasks such as follow a line,

battle each other, drive in a square, or even swim in water!

Mr Riley attended the event with the students over the two days. According to Mr Riley, “the workshop was

structured in such a manner that students could learn through play and discovery, which was really pleasing to

see”. He also felt as a Science teacher that the interactive nature of the workshop integrated scientific

principles such as friction and energy transfers with 21st century technology and computer science.

The camp also gave some of our students the opportunity to share their knowledge with students from the

local primary schools. Oscar Rudman is a Year 9 student who uses the Mindstorm at home and in his STEM

class at school. He conceded that being one of the older and more experienced participants in the workshop,

he didn’t really learn anything new, but said it was still really good to consolidate his programming skills and

share his knowledge with the younger students. Along with some of his peers, Oscar’s skills in the field were

clearly noticeable, as the University staff commented on their proficiency at programming the Mindstorm.

Students from the Year 9 Photography and Digital Media class also attended the event to take photos and

videos over the two days. The students are now compiling the images and footage, so a production is in the

process of completion, which gives a detailed account of the event.

During Week 6 of Term 3, students from Year 9 took part in

the SES Cadet Program coordinated by members of the Taree

City SES Unit. Throughout the week, students learnt about

the valuable role of the SES and participated in activities

focusing on teambuilding, leadership, problem-solving and

communication skills. Students also visited the headquarters

of the Taree City SES where they were able to learn the

phonetic alphabet and communicate via radio, explore the

fire department headquarters and fire trucks and take part in

simulated car crash rescue operations. On Friday, students

travelled to Camp Elim for an action packed day by the lake

where they applied their newly refined leadership and

teamwork skills in activities such as the land search and

dummy retrieval operation and the tunnel rescue mission.

Our students thoroughly enjoyed the program as always,

with many expressing an interest to volunteer in the future.

We would like to thank Mr Garry Fajks and Mr Greg Dodd

from the Taree SES Unit for delivering the program and for

your outstanding work with the cadets.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month and to celebrate

Tuncurry Campus wanted to inform students in Years 8-10 that

'It Ain't Weak to Speak'. The LivinWell Programs, Alistair Mitchell,

presented an interactive and informative presentation to

students on Wednesday 17th October.

The presentation aims to:

•Help promote wellness and positive living for young people

through awareness and early education programs.

•Encourage young people to be open, engage in conversation

and be vulnerable.

•Connect to young people through innovative means.

•Create a movement with a brand that makes mental health

relatable and that people can build an enduring relationship.

The feedback from Tuncurry Campus staff and students was

fantastic! A special thanks to the Homebase Organisation and our

School Counsellor Fern Champion who were available on the day

to assist students.

Following on from the presentation a Wellbeing Wall has been

established at the Tuncurry Campus, to allow students to gain

phone numbers, flyers and support documents to assist them in

need or to help others in their peer group, class or family.

The aim is to decrease the stigma about Mental Health and

access help if you feel you have no –one to turn to.

Just a reminder that the Sydney Experience excursion is fast approaching. Students will soon be making their

activity selections during a FOCUS class. The Tuesday afternoon activities (December 11), will involve students

selecting a Careers related activity. Some of these are still being finalised, but at the moment students will have

the option of University tours at The University of Sydney or The University of New South Wales, a visit to The

Hotel School, Australian Federal Police, TAFE Ultimo campus (for trades, apprenticeship and traineeships),

Garden Island Naval base (Defence Force), the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the Academy of Interactive

Entertainment and Billy Blue College of Design and Media Design School. This provides students with the

opportunity to learn about the different career opportunities available to them and find out what courses they

would need to be considering to get into these roles, find out about scholarships, internships, and how to best

prepare themselves for their future of work. Students will be given an updated list of each activity with a

description of what they will discover so they can make appropriate selections.
