The Year 7 Transition Camp, held from Wednesday March 6th to Friday March 8th was a tremendous success and reflected the calibre of our Year 7 students. They showed a great level of involvement in all activities, great teamwork and collaboration. In addition, they were helpful, respectful and great fun to be with! The staff at Oasis were amazed by the wonderful behaviour, participation and enthusiasm of our students. I would especially like to thank the staff who also attended the camp - Mrs Nicolacopoulos & Mr Delfinis for their support throughout the camp, especially Mr Delfinis who was thrown into the pool, fully clothed, by the students!! A huge thank you to the students who came along and made this camp a wonderful experience for all of us. Some of their reviews of camp and photos say it all.

I enjoyed the experience to sit on the windows and enjoy the scenery. It made me feel like a kid again. Scenery along the journey was lovely, both sides had different scenes. One side with a variety of trees and the other with fields and plains. Along the journey we had people standing near the railway crossing who waved to us. The atmosphere of being in such friendly environment was amazing. It also gave me an opportunity to interact and get to know other BIG ENOUGH FOR OPPORTUNITIES international students.

SHINMINATO SCHOOL VISIT
Noble Park Secondary College have just had the pleasure of hosting 13 visitors from our sister school in Japan, Shinminato Senior High School. It was a fantastic week that kicked off with their arrival on Sunday March 17th. In eight busy days, we managed to pack in a visit to Puffing Billy, the Melbourne Zoo, and the city, as well two full days at school. Monday’s welcome assembly was attended by the Mayor of Dandenong as well as a number of representatives from local schools and our local Rotary club. During the assembly, the Shinminato students and the host students were introduced to the school. Following that, the Japanese visitors performed a song. Later that day, the students visited the senior Japanese class and also attended their host student’s class. Tuesday saw the visitors at the Zoo and on Wednesday they rode on Puffing Billy along with their host and the International Students. Thursday, a group of 23 students headed to the city for an educational activity. Friday was a very busy day. The visitors began by leading both 8A and Year 7s in a class that involved interesting and fun activities. In Period 3 and 4, they participated in a cooking class with Ms Collins. A Sayonara Party after school was the highlight of entire week. Joshua Tatnell-Blacker performed a piano solo and Bianca, Shanna, Kayla,
and Mahima sang a Japanese pop song. At the end of the night, Shinminato students and staff sang and SMALL ENOUGH TO CARE
danced for everybody. It was a fantastic night! - The visitors returned to Japan on Sunday night. There were a lot of tears, as well as laughter, and one or two broken hearts. A decision has been made that Noble Park Secondary College will visit
Shinminato in July 2014. So now is the time to start getting ready!
