Term 2 Week 6 May 2012
AUSSIE EXCHANGE IS DRAWING TO A
CLOSE FOR TOVA WAUCHOPE REPRESENTS CHINA AT THE
MODEL UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY
Tova will be heading home to Sweden in early July after a
year in Australian and at Wauchope High School.
Tova says that school at Wauchope High has been really
good. “ It was good to try something so different from
home, this whole year has been a really good experience.”
Tova attends the Thorén Business School in Sweden.
School is different to that in Australia. She
said;
“We don‟t have any uniforms, we get free
lunch in school every day and we call our
teachers by their first name.”
“ The highpoints during my year was probably
the Year 11 camp in Sydney and of course
meeting all these amazing people.”
Many Wauchope students will miss Tova, but
hopefully some will visit her in Sweden one
day .
Tova with some of her Year 12 friends from Wauchope High
The Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) was held on the
19th, 20th & 21st of May at St Columba Anglican School in Port
Macquarie. Wauchope High was represented by three
students.
As their delegated
country of China, the
students proposed
motions and debated
pertinent issues of
security, economic and
environmental matters
with other students from
the North Coast region.
All students participated
with enthusiasm and
made the most of the
opportunity.
A big thank you to all
Rotary clubs who sponsor
this fantastic event and to
the members who give
their time to the
organisation and running
of MUNA each year
Congratulations to James who was selected as one of two stu-
dents to represent the region in the national MUNA in Canberra
later this year.

Rotary Australia and New Zealand Student Exchange
The Rotary Australia and New Zealand Student Exchange program is
looking for expressions of interest from students who will be in Year 9
or 10 in 2013.
This program is designed for 14-16 year old students to experience a true
„exchange‟ with a family in New Zealand. Local students are matched with a
New Zealand student who will travel to Australia and attend school here during
Term 2, 2013. Both students then return to New Zealand and attend school
there for Term 3, 2013. The student‟s family hosts the NZ student and includes
them in their normal family life.
This is an exciting way to experience another culture with the support of
Rotary.More information and expression of interest forms can be found
at www.ranzse.com.au Expressions of interest close 30th June 2012.

OPEN SOCCER FIGHTS A NAIL BIGHTER IN CHS KNOCKOUT
With a planned and projected campaign ahead of them,
the WHS Open Girls‟ Soccer team are hoping to gain a
similar placement as last year. However, last week‟s close
and challenging game against Ballina High saw some
close shaves and caused many to hold their breath.
However, a final win of 1-0 for Wauchope delivered the
home side yet another chance to move toward their goal.
OPEN GIRLS RUGBY UNION
Last Monday May 21 our girl‟s rugby teams played Westport High School. The Opens did us very proud against last year‟s State finalists. The girls really put it to Westport and for most of the first half it was 5-5 after a fantastic try .The girls tackled well, set up the ball really well and were good at the breakdown. All
in all it was an excellent effort.
U15’s GIRLS RUGBY UNION
Our U15‟s were awesome when they defeated Westport High 56-10 recently. There is no reason if they train hard that they won‟t go a long way in this year‟s State KO competition. We scored ten tries to two and were always in control. Seven players scored tries. The girls were dynamite with the ball in hand and defended strongly. Our girls gave us go forward up the middle and our backs were too quick and strong. It was the first time we have ever beaten Westport in girl‟s rugby. Well done U15‟s. You guys were very, very impressive.
FOUR NOTICED BY SELECTORS IN TOUCH FOR NORTH
COAST TEAM
Four students from Wauchope High School were selected to represent the north
Coast Open Boys Touch Football Team to play at the NSW State Tournament.
PBL ??? What is it? How does it affect you?
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) has been part of Wauchope High School now for three years. At its heart are our three core values which underpin all that our community strives for—Best Effort,
Care and Respect and Safety at all Times.
We acknowledge students who practise these values with the merit scheme. Students can collect a
variety of merit and award certificates in a calendar year to earn a gold card for the following year.
Points:
Best Effort, Care and Respect and Safety at All Times (PBL) awards —1 point (from class, play-
ground, sport, assemblies or around school)
PBL awards from Casual teachers —2 points
Merit award—4 points (presented at Year Assemblies)
Blue letter—6 points
Excellence award—8 points (presented at Excellence Assemblies)
Certificates: Bronze— 10 points Silver—30 points. Gold—60 points
So far this year 47 bronze and 3 silver certificates have been awarded. To receive your Certificates
you need to bring your awards to Miss Gorton in the library once you have earned 10 points

ANOTHER YEAR OF SUCCESS AT ZONE CROSS COUNTRY
Recently a strong team from Wauchope High School
contested the Zone Cross Country with another resounding
successful result. As overall winning school, many of our students were well placed, a factor supported by the
relatively high number of students who carry natural fitness
or are interested in sporting activities.
Congratulations to the whole team, especially as so many
gained places in the first fifteen spots!
Wet and tired, but still smiling,
1st, 2nd and 3rd in 18 boys,
Congratulations!
Congratulations 5th!
Running in 1st!!
