WELCOME TO THE VET DESK…
Welcome to all the new families of Henley High and welcome back to all the existing families. I would like to introduce myself; Tania Duff-Tytler aka. Ms D or Ms Duff, as the student’s call me. I am the VET coordinator for Henley High for 2010. I have a trade background and have taught at TAFE for several years and am passionate about student learning, career pathways and study options.
The education department is full of acronyms and the VET sphere seems to embrace them with a passion. VET stands for Vocational Education and Training, and within a school context; this translates into courses being offered to students with Nationally Accredited Units, which are part of a Nationally Accredited Certificate or a Trade Certificate. It allows them to gain partial or full Certificates in a trade or industry specific area.
Henley High School is part of the Western Futures cluster group, which is a group of 28 schools who offer a range of VET courses and Nationally Accredited Certificates to all of the students in all of the associated schools.
At Henley High we are proud to run 11VET programmes on site.
Certificate II in Creative Industries / Multimedia (to be offered in 2011) Certificate II in Sport and Recreation (Event Management) Certificate I in General Construction (Doorways to construction) Certificate I in Furnishing Certificate II in Information Technology Certificate I in Metal & Engineering Certificate 1 in Electro technology Certificate I in Introduction to Vocational Education (IVEC) Certificate II Hospitality (Food & Beverage) Certificate II Community services (Childcare focus) Certificate III Fitness Defence Industries Pathway Program (DIPP)
These programmes are delivered by Henley teachers (DIPP in conjunction with TAFE) who are registered trainers and assessors, who have trade qualifications or current industry experience. To provide optimum training for our students, our teacher/trainers are always looking to further their skills and knowledge through professional development courses run by Industry Partners or TAFE SA so that they can provide training that is current, up to date and industry specific. The teacher/trainers at Henley pride themselves on delivering engaging, interesting and industry focused courses to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge pertinent to the industry they may wish to pursue, whilst simultaneously instilling the work ethos and personal attributes expected by employers of that specific industry.
It is my job to ensure student needs are met; on an academic and career pathway level, and I urge students or parents to make an appointment to meet with me or call me on 83557000 or email me [email protected] to discuss an aspect of Vocational Education and Training and students future pathway options.
Tania Duff-Tytler VET Coordinator
I would like to introduce Chris Houltby the Apprenticeship Broker Servicing Henley High School. Working closely with myself; Tania Duff-Tytler (VET Co- ordinator). Chris main duties involve connecting students with local industry and business; with the intent of creating School Based Apprenticeships (SBA’s) (part time).Students can “learn and earn”, gaining a nationally accredited qualification whilst completing their SACE. I encourage any student or parent interested in traineeships and apprenticeships to meet with Chris on Wednesday mornings via an appointment through Chris G at Student Services or contact him on 0488 584 029 or email [email protected]

The emphasis for the redevelopment is to provide facilities to cater for our growing VET courses that provide pathways to employment and future training. At present we have Metal Engineering, Furnishing, Electro Technology and Doorways to Construction.

DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY BUILDINGS REDEVELOPMENT Cont. YEAR 8 CAMP REPORT
The Year 8 camp for 2010 got off to a great start with beautiful weather at the beginning of the week, and slightly cooler weather towards the end.
Activities included Snorkelling, Fishing, Billy Carts, Problem Solving, Beach Sports, and Raft Making. There were plenty of opportunities to get in the water, relax, hike, and scramble for ‘best team’ on the Quiz nights. A tie for first place was decided by a spelling competition – to thunderous applause.
The food was plentiful and enjoyable, and many stu- dents were able to show their cleaning up skills after meals. Ms Ambler was happy to demonstrate correct The view of the extended area in Woodwork mopping techniques to interested students, and Ms and Plastics Queen knew that students were finally asleep when a giant moth flew out of one dorm room – and no one screamed!
A very enjoyable camp for all concerned!

ABORIGINAL EDUCATION Quiet Sumner ready to roll
By Michael Rogers 12:51 PM Fri 19 February, 2010
With all the hype surrounding the Sydney Swans’ off-season recruits, fans could be forgiven for overlooking the progress of young midfielder Byron Sumner.
Daniel Bradshaw and Shane Mumford both arrived at the club in a hail of publicity, while fellow draftees Gary Rohan and Lewis Jetta were both highly regarded first-round NAB AFL Draft selections.
Even fellow late-round draftee, Trent Dennis-Lane, has earned his share of headlines with standout performances in the club’s practice matches. While Sumner might have flown under the media radar, his work ethic and football smarts certainly haven’t escaped the attention of the Swans’ football department. Development coach Stuart Maxfield and coaching co- ordinator John Longmire have both praised the South Australian’s ability to adapt to a new game plan while maintaining his natural flair.
Now, Sumner will join Rohan, Jetta and Dennis-Lane in wearing the red and white for the first Byron Sumner time in Saturday night’s NAB Cup opener against Carlton at Blacktown Olympic Park. And he couldn’t be more excited at the prospect.
“It’s something I’ve really worked hard for and a dream that I’ve had all my life. To come here and do a hard pre-season - it’s really all paid off now,” he said.
It certainly has, with the 174cm young midfielder/forward sporting a vastly different physique after adding nine kilograms to his frame since the night he was drafted.
Sumner credited the experience of doing an SANFL pre-season with his former club, Wood- ville/West Torrens, with his ability to cope with the new workload.
“I did a bit of league pre-season back home in Adelaide, so training every day wasn’t such an issue,” he said. UNIFORM SHOP
“It was just the amount of training, I guess. I struggled a bit at the start but I got through.” Due to the current work being Sumner had nothing but praise for his Swans teammates who had helped him adjust to life in a done on the Tech Studies new city - “They’re real people, down to earth people” - and said he couldn’t wait to take the building the Uniform Shop will field with his fellow draftees. only be open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8am- Sumner’s father will also be in attendance on Saturday night, having driven almost 1400km to 9am.

And with some luck, Saturday’s game will be a stepping stone to any young player’s holy grail - a senior AFL debut in round one.
“It’s still my biggest goal and I’ve got to go out Saturday night and do what I’ve got to do, keep training hard and fight for a spot,” he said.

However, as we predict it to be a magnificent day, we shouldn’t need these precautions!!

All students are expected to attend Sports Day and absences WILL need to be explained with a note/phone call from home. Students can go in as many events as they are capable of safely competing in, but must be aware of the fact that it will not matter if they have nominated or not, it is the students who report to the event on time who will participate.
Special Sport students from Years 8-12 need to participate in a MINIMUM of 5 events on Sports Day (800m and 1500m, run prior to March 9th, can be part of those 5 events).
Students participating in events must wear sports clothing in their House colour, or if unable to, should wear PE or SSP top.
Students who are not competing are expected to be in House colour or School Uniform, not CASUAL!!
