FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome back to the new school year at Gawler and District

College B-12, we are all looking forward to another positive

and rewarding year. I would particularly like to welcome new

students and their families to our college and wish you all a

smooth transition to our site. You have joined an outstanding

learning community with a reputation for the pursuit of

excellence, a focus on wellbeing and a belief in lifelong

learning. Working together with our wonderful staff, supporting all students and making a

positive difference with learning, care and the development of every student is an absolute

priority at our college. It has been wonderful meeting so many children, students and adults

as I have walked around our site over the past four weeks. Students are engaged in their

learning and are provided with a broad range of exciting learning opportunities. 2020 is an

important year as we look to consolidate and build on the excellent work of the college.

Congratulations to our 2019 Year 12 students who collectively achieved pleasing results

across a broad range of subjects studied last year. A special congratulations to Brayden

Pollard the Dux of the College achieving the highest ATAR score for 2019 at GDC. 2019 saw

88.4% of Year 12 students who wanted to enter a university course receiving offers to

university, what a wonderful achievement. There were also significant increases in the

number of A grades achieved in 2019. We wish all the very best for our 2019 Year 12

Graduates in all their future endeavours and look forward to hearing about their future

successes.

A special welcome to new staff appointed this year to the college including staff in

leadership positions, I warmly welcome you all and wish you a successful and rewarding

year at GDC.

Our commitment to our students and families lies in our strength of our school as a

professional community to work together positively with colleagues, to share practices,

learn from professional conversations, reflect, challenge and celebrate growth and

improvement ensuring successful outcomes for all students. Our focus as a site is learning

with an absolute commitment to increasing student achievement in reading across our site.

Central to realising improved student outcomes are:

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK cont.

Improving Attendance – Students do not learn if they are not at school and as a consequence our teaching is not as

effective. I ask everyone to work together to build a culture of attendance and time on task in every class. This will include

staff working together with families, scrutinising levels of student engagement and creating community awareness of the

importance and quality of what we offer.

A relentless focus on literacy and in particular reading - Without literacy skills our children and young people will struggle to

lead rich lives, to plan, think critically and creatively, and to solve problems.

Continuing to build the capacity of our staff and improving the quality of our work through performance development with a

focus on pedagogy – Stretching and engaging our learners to achieve student learning outcomes and building our own

and others’ capacity. Assessment for learning, learning design, planning collaboratively and feedback from colleagues

and students are also essential to improving professional practice.

I look forward to working with all in our community, building upon the significant work that already has been achieved.

THE GAWLER AND DISTRICT FOUNDATION AND ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE

Your Opportunity to Experience the Year of your Life!

In the recent year I have had the wonderful opportunity to begin

participating in a Full-Time student exchange overseas for 12 months. This

amazing adventure definitely wouldn’t have been possible without the

generous support from Damien and Anna Brown. They offered, through

the Gawler and District Foundation, $5,000 for a student from Gawler and

District College to take part in the Rotary Youth Exchange. So far, I have

been living in Germany for 4 weeks. Of course, it has its challenges, but

knowing what I do now I would still have more than willingly said “yes”

and strived to take this opportunity and everything that has come with it

so far.

This unique experience is available to another Gawler and District College

student this year. If selected by Rotary you could be experiencing

another culture and country in 2021!

It is such a great experience and I would 100% recommend it to anyone

who wants to see the world and have the year of their lives.

For more information about applying for a Rotary Youth Exchange

contact David Weatherley at Gawler and Light Rotary Club on 0412 136 381.

HERE’S WHAT’S NEW IN AGRICULTURE

Last week Iceberg Lettuce, Leek, Cauliflower, Capsicum and Savoy

Cabbage seedlings were planted. Over the coming weeks we will

plant a variety of other seedlings. The aim is to generate enough

produce to be able to market it in "GDC Market Days". We will keep

you posted ahead of time, but will be in the second half of the term.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

We all extend a warm welcome to staff and students new to Gawler & District College Junior School in 2020. This year we

welcome Lynda Rivett as our Assistant Head of Junior School. New teaching staff for 2020 includes Sarah O’Driscoll, Hiba

Eljourdi & Lydia D’Ambrosio. We warmly welcome the new Receptions and their families our Junior School.

Our 2020 Acquaintance Night was held Thursday 6 February between

5.00pm - 6.05pm. Teachers were available in their rooms and presented

some information about their learning programs this year. Thank you to

the many families who were able to attend.

We are super proud to be able to provide uniquely designed Junior

School reading diaries this year. They will enable us to continue to

spotlight and promote our major focus on Home Reading. Reading five

nights a week is crucial for accelerated reading progress. In addition to

the Reading diaries we will be providing reading bags for every child in

our Junior School. We will expect that these special reading tools will be

cared for respectfully and with pride.

Week 7, Friday 13 March 2020

The Principal and staff of Gawler & District College B-12 would like to extend an invitation to all parents of students to the

Middle & Senior School Sports Day for 2020, to be held on the Darren Lehmann School Oval.

Students have been allocated to the four traditional Houses:

Angas (Red) Barossa (Blue) Murray (Green) Para (Gold)

Attendance by students is compulsory for the entire day:

All students are required to attend Sports Day, even if not participating in an event. If your child has a particular injury or

condition which prohibits any form of physical activity, their vocal support for their house or their assistance as an official to

help time or place events will contribute towards their house’s total points for the day.

Dress Expectations and Sun Care:

To ensure sun safety and skin protection, we strongly recommend all students to wear a hat and apply 30+ sunscreen both

prior to arrival and throughout the day. We encourage students to wear clothing to represent their House for the full day.

Appropriate sporting footwear (no sandals) and clothes, must be worn by all students.

Water consumption:

Water will be readily available throughout the day. It is crucial that all students remain hydrated throughout the carnival.

Athletic Excellence:

Students will compete in age events including sprinting, relays, tug of war and novelty events etc. Points will be awarded to

all contestants. The emphasis is on participation and teamwork.

Risk Management:

This is a normal school day conducted on the grounds.

If you wish for your child to not participate in actual sporting events please provide a note in their diary prior to the day. All

gates throughout the school will be locked, except the Main Gate in front of Administration. All visitors will need to access

the school via this entrance. Please be mindful that pet dogs are not permitted on school grounds. Students are not

permitted to leave the school grounds.

Catering and Fundraising Activities:

The School Canteen will be open for business all day plus a BBQ. Students are encouraged to bring their own lunch if they

are not wanting to use the facilities available.

There will be various fundraising activities occurring throughout the day.

We welcome student’s parents and friends to attend and cheer on their team!

Angie Michael , Principal


MIDDLE SCHOOL

On behalf of all the Middle School Team I would like to warmly welcome all of our students back to the 2020 school year.

Our Year 7 cohort has transitioned from the Junior school and have settled in very well. We have been joined by a number

of new students who are adapting very well to being part of a large secondary school. The Year 7 Home Care teachers this

year are Bec Impala (7A) and Caitlin Hilliard (7B).

We have also welcomed 180 students into our Year 8 cohort. They began the year with some team building activities and

games run by Active Education which helped them get to know their peers. All of these students have now settled into their

classes and are learning to adapt to the demands of secondary schooling.

Our Year 9 students have also had a very good start to the year. Most elective class changes have been completed now

so students should all have their preferred subjects.

We have also welcomed Ms Stella Reid as our Year 7, 8 and 9 Year Level Coordinator. She will oversee students in these

Year Levels for the 2020 school year. MS Cheryl Raso is continuing in her role this Year as the Middle School Counsellor.

Just a few reminders around a couple of common issues at school:

Students bringing mobile phones to school do so at their own risk. Mobile phones are not to

be used during class time. They need to be kept out of site and if they are needed for any

reason, students must seek permission from their teacher. Students must also ensure that

they are not filming or taking photos of other students whilst on school grounds.

Our school uniform does not included hooded jumpers. We ask that parents support the

school by reminding their children not to wear these to school. Our uniform shop has a

number of alternatives that are available for purchase. Any parents with questions around

this need to speak to Stella Reid.

Liz Rankin, Head of Middle School


FRIENDLY SCHOOLS PLUS

Have you ever wondered; what makes a school a friendly school? How can my child feel connected

at school? Or maybe you have asked; what can be done to reduce bullying in a school?

The Friendly Schools Initiative addresses the social and emotional learning of young people and the

essential understandings and skill development to reduce bullying in schools. This is achieved

formally, through explicit classroom teaching and learning strategies, and informally through the development of a whole-

school culture and organisation.

Friendly Schools is a multi-component, evidence based, school initiative involving the whole-school community to build

social and emotional competency, create supportive learning environments and significantly reduce bullying in school

communities.

Friendly Schools draws on 20 years of research and uses a collaborative approach that engages all members of the school

community in building the school’s capacity to provide a friendly and supportive learning environment. It is recognised

nationally and internationally as a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that can reduce bullying behaviour.

Gawler & District College B-12 has the fantastic opportunity to be involved in the Friendly Schools Initiative which is being

implemented across 10 schools in the Greater Gawler Partnership. My name is Olga Vidoni and I am the coordinator for

Friendly Schools at Gawler &District College B-12. In addition to being a teacher I have been a school

counsellor, assistant principal and a co-principal. I have worked in many schools over my career,

including Smithfield Plains, Elizabeth Fields, Elizabeth Park and Hewett. I am now excited to be working

with the Gawler & District College community in 2020. If you see me at school please come up and say

hello, I would love to meet you.

Olga Vidoni

Friendly Schools Coordinator for Sandy Creek Primary, Gawler Primary, Evanston Gardens Primary,

Williamstown Primary & Gawler and District College

SENIOR SCHOOL

It has been a busy start to the year across the Senior School. With various activities and guest speakers during the recent

Orientation Day, our students were provided with valuable opportunities to prepare for success. We would like to extend our

congratulations to our 2019 group of Year 12’s for everything they achieved and contributed during their time at Gawler

and District College. We would also like to welcome our new cohort of students to the Senior School.

Many key elements contribute towards making the senior years of high school a successful one, with the habits established

early carrying forward as the year progresses. Students who wish to succeed need to develop good work practices at

school. They need to be self-motivated, focussed and able to work independently. Parental support and correspondence is

highly important throughout the year. There will be many opportunities provided for students to extend themselves and

excel throughout the year. The school offers a variety of extra-curricular activities that focus on areas including leadership,

performing, sport, and personal development. We strongly encourage our students to get involved in these activities. If at

any time students have questions regarding the SACE or intended pathway they can make a time to see me so that we

can have a discussion. We look forward to another rewarding year with our Year 12 students.

On Tuesday 29 January our Year 12’s had their Orientation Day.

They participated in study skills and time management sessions

where our students were actively involved. Team building and

nutrition sessions were also a great part of the day helping

students to feel comfortable and prepared for the year. A

highlight during this Orientation Day was listening to our former

student presenters, Lachlan Wilson and Franke Agenbag, who

definitely inspired the Year 12 cohort.

The final session included SACE pattern checks and student

pathway preferences. Overall, the day was productive and a

positive start to the year.
