CSC SPORTEditorial REPORT
During week one of this term the Education Review office visited our school and completed an in- depth review of our schools performance. The confirmed report of ERO’s findings has now been released and this is available on our website. Below is an example of the many positive comments that were made in the report:
“Students learn in a positive environment. There are effective systems for promoting student wellbeing and achievement. Deans know their students well as learners and individuals. The extent of students’ involvement in school activities is considerable. ERO noted students were very busy participating in a wide range of events/activities.” ERO 2015
“Students benefit from a broad and rich curriculum. They appreciate the many sports, cultural and beyond the classroom learning experiences. There is a focus on ensuring that students grow to be well-rounded adults. This aligns with parents’ aspirations.” ERO 2015
Dunstan High School Annual exchange was held last week and congratulations go to Dunstan who took out the overall competition. Many of our teams had some great results and all our students competed with passion and pride. Well done to all those involved and a special thanks to the families that hosted Billets.
‘Back to the Eighties’, our 2015 school production, is on stage next week. This is a guaranteed nostalgia trip for those around my age!

Southland Volleyball After all school volleyball was finished there was a trial for Southland teams for each age group from Under 13s to Under 17s. Lachie Dobson and myself were selected to represent our region at volleyball. We have been practicing every Wednesday then had a social league where we play adults. We have won and drew once and lost twice. We have a tournament in September where we play two Otago teams in a day competition. This will be a great experience for us and will enjoy every minute of it. Jeremy Robertson
Migration and Mobility
On the 22nd of April, the Year 10 classes 10Jo went the Western Southland social studies trip. This was to teach us about the topics - migration and mobility. During this trip they went to Nightcaps, Wairio cemetery, Tuatapere, Orepuki and Riverton. They learnt a lot about New Zealand and the first settlers. On Thursday the 18th of June 10Ch will be also going on this trip. Without Lynley Woodds or Steve Dobson this trip would not have been as successful as it was. Britney Singh and Callum Bryan

“Just Mustard Band” A couple of weeks ago Just Mustard played at whole school assembly. This is a Year 10 band which includes Alex Dykes, Jeremy Robertson, George Cooper, Josh Hart and Lachie Dobson. This was the first band at whole school assembly to play in a long time. They played a song called San Francisco which Alex made up. They played very successfully in the assembly and everyone enjoyed it. This band have been together since last year and they started making songs about a couple of terms ago. We wish them well for Rockquest being held at the Civic Theatre on the 21st Of June. Lachie Watson Interview with Atipa Mabonga In Athletics Recently Atipa went to the Oceania athletics champs in Cairns, Australia. Lifestyle over in Cairns is very different and hot. There were lots of athletes competing so they pretty much became one big family. Atipa was very successful at the champs as she got 4 medals in total;1 gold in youth long jump, and 4 silver medals in the senior triple jump, youth triple jump and relays 4x100 and 4x400. It could be possible that she will compete in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Some interesting facts are that 60 New Zealanders went to the champs which half was youth and half were senior. A couple of seniors have competed in the Olympics before. Her next goal is to compete in the World Youths in Colombia at the end of this year. When she leaves high school she wants to get a sports scholarship overseas. Atipa is very pleased with her career and didn’t know she would get this far. Lachie Watson
“Cup stacking and Juggling." A few weeks ago, the year 10's finished their fitness topic for P.E and are now doing cup stacking, and juggling. Both of these activities improve our hand coordination, eye coordination, strategy skills and become ambidextrous. We've learned some techniques for cup stacking such as the 3-2-1 method which helps you drop the cups in place easier and faster. For juggling we are re-learning how to throw the ball from one hand to another and then two balls, it's really not that easy as it sounds. By the end of this topic we hope to enhance our skills and be able to juggle properly, and cup stack as well. Jenesis Petallana

CSC SPORTYear REPORT 9
Battle of the Year 9's! This term has seen the Year 9 Shield hotly contested. 9Ba were the reigning Term 1 champs but the Shield itself has been doing the rounds amongst nearly all of the form classes. Laser tag, arm-wrestling, My Kitchen Rules and a tug-o-war has meant the log-o-wood has moved from 9Ba to 9Br to 9Jt and to current holders, 9Wn. Next weeks challenge sees 9En pitting their skills against a jubilant 9Wn. Amidst all the fun of these challenges, perhaps the greatest value comes from the tremendous class bonding that occurs. It is wonderful to see them competing so fiercely, supporting and encouraging each other and always in the spirit of fair play. What an awesome year group they are.
Year 9 MKR Challenge Last Monday 9JT and 9BR had a MKR cook off for the Interform Shield. The 9JT team consisted of Quinn, Kayden, Sheree and Emma. 9BR’s team was Josh, Callum, Shawni and Mikaela. The Challenge was to cook a main and dessert for two judges with a $25 budget. 9JT cooked up a feast of butter chicken and naan bread with a side of yoghurt. Their dessert was chocolate explosions with homemade custard and kiwifruit as a top- ping. 9BR made homemade burgers with kumara chips. For dessert they made apple crumble. It came down to the judges decision of who would take home the shield. The overall winners who took it out by one point was 9JT. Emma Diack & Quinn Robins (9JT)

Year 13 students have been given lots of information this term, which should help them to make decisions about 2016. We have had various presentations from Tertiary providers, as well as our trips away to look at study options in Dunedin (with Christchurch visits soon). The next step for the students – visit the websites of all of the Tertiary Providers that interest them and read the detailed information about the various courses.
Scholarships There are over 3000 scholarships available to students heading to Tertiary next year. If Year 13 students want to see a full list of available scholarships, they can access the “Breakout” website via any public library. Breakout also has its own Facebook page.
Social Studies Careers Unit – Year 10 All Year 10 students are starting a Careers Unit with their Social Studies teacher in week one of term three. The students will be investigating careers, as well as identifying their current interests, values and personal qualities.
Career Fest – 30 July All Year 11 and Year 12 students (and any Year 13 students who are still undecided about their future pathway) will be taken to Invercargill to attend the Southland Career Fest, so that they can investigate future career options. This is an excellent opportunity for our students, as exhibitors from all over NZ are on hand to speak with the students individually. For detailed information about seminars on offer, visit www.careerfest.co.nz.
Gateway This year, we have 19 students out at work one day a week. We are very grateful to our local community for so willingly accepting a student at their workplace for one day a week.

GIOVANNI THE MASTER PASTA MAKER
Our year 13 Hospitality class was lucky to have our exchange student Giovanni teach us how to make pasta. Most of the class had never made it before so Giovanni stepped up to teach us. After a few phone calls back home to his mum, Giovanni was ready to become the teacher. It was a fun lesson but hard work kneading the pasta. The pasta machines came out and everyone had a turn turning flour and egg into fettucine and spaghetti. Eventually we got there and used our pasta to make Chicken and Mushroom Fettuccine the next class. Thank you Giovanni, we will certainly miss you when you leave our class.

Recently, both Year 11 Food and nutrition classes were given the opportunity to see a documentary called “That Sugar Film”. It follows someone who takes on a typical teenagers diet of 40 teaspoons of Sugar per day. It had to be in perceived healthy foods, so no fizzy drinks, lollies, chocolate or ice-cream. It would be fair to say that the students were quite amazed at how much sugar is actually in “healthy” foods. They took away some great messages from the film, in particular about concentration and mood swings. I hope they will be having some conversations at home about the knowledge they have gained from the film. If you are interested in this, please go to www.thatsugarfilm.com Kit Fenton

CSCCSC SPORT Sport REPORT Report Junior Netball is in good heart at CSC after both the Yr 9 and Yr 10 teams made the final of the Southland Secondary Schools Junior Tournament held in Invercargill recently. Both teams were unbeaten in pool play but knew that they had a tough assignment against two strong SGHS teams.
The Yr9’s, playing in their first tournament as a CSC team, battled and never gave up through the 4 quarters, going down 30-14. The Yr 10s played a clinical game, going down by one at the final whistle. The Yr 10’s will have a rematch with SGHS on Wednesday 24th June as they play in the final of the Southland Secondary Schools Yr 10 league at the stadium. We wish both the Yr9 and Yr10 teams all the best as they travel to Christchurch in the first week of the holidays to play in the South Island Junior Development tournament.

Our student basketball coaches have been lucky to have had 4 coaching sessions with Kevin Braswell (Southland Sharks player and development officer for Southland Basketball). Pictured with Kevin are: Connor Ballantyne, Willy Dykes, Bradley McMaster, Daniel Thwaites, Jake De Clifford, Hailey Laverty, Brigitte Simpson, Bonnie Watt and Libby Ruddenklau.
Peter McLeish and Carl Lindsay are representing CSC at the National Teen AG competition in Taupo from 2 nd to 4 th of July. They had to compete against all the Southland Teen Ag teams in Queenstown earlier in the year to qualify for the Nationals. They were placed third, which is awesome considering that Peter and Carl are the youngest competitors, only being year 10’s, while the majority are year 12 and 13. We wish them well and look forward to the results. A huge thankyou to their parents for supporting the boys and organising there training out of school. They are in for an amazing experience and they will see the NZ Young Farmers competing at the same time.

English Department News
Home Learning with The English Department. All Year 9 and 10 classes are now having their learning supported in an online classroom. This forum is being used as a way for students to improve their skills and as a way to develop self-management. All students are members of their respective class’ Google Classroom which is owned and monitored by the English teacher. In their Google Classroom, the students now have a Home Learning Skills Task to complete each week. All students have been shown how to complete tasks online and they all had a go at a practise task so they could see how everything worked. Now, each week, there is a new task to complete by a set deadline. This is the student's responsibility to complete in their own time. The English department will run tutorials every Friday lunchtime for anyone who requires extra help.
All members of the English Department are committed to providing our students with learning opportunities that develop and consolidate the skills needed to be a successful learner. As a BYOD school, we believe our online classrooms are just one great way to do this.
10JG have been developing their creative writing skills by focussing on poetic techniques. We looked at onomatopoeia and how poets can bend and break our usual writing conventions. There were lots of great poems, here’s just a taste of the great work produced: Firework poem A silent blanket suffocated the air, until.. Children start awing as barrels of sparkles whack the sky. Fire dances, as laughter is thrown around. shrieks awaken, the night sky. The hissing whistle, Opens the air, As… Colour erupts, The sky shatters into shreds, Giving the dull face a hint of colour. Screaming of the roman candle, Shatters the sky. Eyes light up as the fingers of light Touch the darkness, Children scream as the darkness Rolls upon, CSC—Dunstan Debate The final firework Speaking Quinn Higgins, team members Brodie McGlen Soars up, Jaira Petallana Leaving a silent blanket Wrapped around us.

Making Things at CSC
We have been having lovely cosy Wednesday afternoons in my warm class room for activities this term. The girls (no boys wanted to do this activity?) have been learning to knit, doing scrapbooking, making cards, making jewellery with beads, colouring in (and who doesn’t love colouring in the grownups colouring books these days?) and making pompoms. It is really nice to spend time creating things and I am very proud of the girls for being so enthusiastic in this activity. Annie Keown.

Noong unang linggo ng unang term, ang Education Review Office (ERO) ay bumisita sa ating paaralan at nagsagawa ng pagsusuri sa pagpapatakbo ng ating paaralan. Sila ay gumawa ng report at ang ito ay maaaring makita at mabasa sa ating website. Ilan lamang sa mga positibong komentaryo na nasa report ang mga sumusunod:
“Ang mga estudyante ay natututo sa isang positibong lugar. Mayroong mga epektibong sistemang ginagamit ang CSC para mas mapabuti ang pag-aaral ng mga estudyante. Kilala ng mga Deans ang kanilang mga estudyante hindi lang bilang estudyante pati na din ang indibiduwal nilang mga katangian. Ang paglahok ng mga estudyante sa mga aktibidad sa paaralan ay kamangha-mangha. Ang mga estudyante ay okupado sa pakikilahok sa madaming aktibidad na inaalok ng paaralan.” ERO 2015
“Ang mga estudyante ay nakikinabang sa isang malawak at saganang kurikulum. Pinapahalagahan nila ang sports, pang- kulturang aktibidad at iba pang mga aktibidad na pampaaralan. Tulad ng hangad ng mga magulang, pinagtutuunang- pansin rin ng mga guro na ang mga estudyante ay lumaking mabubuting miyembro ng ating lipunan.” ERO 2015
Noong nakaraang linggo naganap ang Dunstan High School Annual Exchange. Malaking pagbati sa Dunstan High School sa pagkapanalo nila sa pangkalahatang paligsahan. Marami sa ating mga teams ang nakakuha rin ng mga magagandang resulta sa paligsahan. Lahat ng ating mga estudyante ay kapuri-puri dahil naglaro sila with passion at pride. Saludo kami sa mga kabilang sa paligsahan at maraming salamat sa mga pamilyang nagpa-tuloy ng mga estudyante galing sa Dunstan High School (Billets) sa inyong tahanan.
