CSC-News-2015-04.Pdf Central Southland College To all new prospecve students and families you are invited to our Open Night Thursday July 23rd (7-9 pm) Newsletter Principal: Grant Dick 26th June 2015 [email protected] or www.csc.school.nz Grange Street, PO Box 94 Winton Phone 03 236 7646 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! Nga Mihi Grant Dick Principal CSC SPORTYear REPORT10 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 CSC SPORTYear REPORT10 “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 Lucille Heron and Amelia Gordon (Year12) attempting to make Macaroons in Art Class 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) Pictured Judge Jane Cowie CSC CareerSPORT Corner REPORT Maree Buchanan & Raewyn Lowe 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.

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.

  • Travel Report 2016-01-8-13 Tuatapere
    8.1.2016 Tuatapere, Blue Cliffs Beach As we depart Lake Hauroko a big herd of sheep comes across our way. Due to our presence the sheep want to turn around immediately, but are forced to walk past us. The bravest sheep walks courageously in the front towards our car... Upon arriving in Tuatapere, the weather has changed completely. It is very windy and raining, so we decide to stop at the Cafe of the Last Light Lodge, which was very cozy and played funky music. Afterwards we head down to the rivermouth of the Waiau and despite the stormy weather Werner goes fishing. While we are parked there, three German tourists get stuck with their car next to us, the pebbles right next to the track are unexpectedly soft. Werner helps to push them out and we continue our way to the Blue Cliffs Beach – the sign has made us curious. We find a sheltered spot near the rivermouth so Werner can continue fishing. He comes back with an eel! Now we have to research eel recipes. 1 9.1.2016 Colac Bay, Riverton The very strong wind has blown away all the grey clouds and is pounding the waves against the beach. The rolling stones make such a noise, it’s hard to hear you own voice. Nature at work… Again we pass by the beautiful Red Hot Poker and finally have a chance to take a photo. We continue South on the 99, coming through Orepuki and Monkey Island. When the first settlers landed here a monkey supposedly helped to pull the boats ashore, hence the name Monkey Island.

  • Whatever Happened to Tuatapere? a Study on a Small Rural Community Pam Smith
    Whatever happened to Tuatapere? A study on a small rural community Pam Smith Pam Smith has worked in the social work field for the past 25 years. She has worked with children and families within the community both in statutory and non-government organisations. She has held social worker and supervisor roles and is currently a supervisory Team Leader at Family Works Southland. This article was based on Pam’s thesis for her Master of Philosophy in Social Work at Massey University. Abstract Social workers working in the rural community do so within a rural culture. This culture has developed from historical and cultural influences from the generations before, from the impact of social and familial changes over the years and from current internal and external influences. These changes and influences make the rural people who they are today. This study was carried out on a small rural community in Western Southland. The purpose was to examine the impact on the community of social changes over the past 50 years. Eight long-term residents were interviewed. The results will be discussed within this article. Introduction Government policies, changes in international trade and markets, environmental policies, globalisation, change in the structure of local and regional government and legislative changes, impacted on all New Zealanders during the past 50 years. The rural hinterland of New Zealand was affected in particular ways. The population in rural communities has been slowly decreasing over the years as ur- banisation has been a reality in New Zealand. Services within the area have diminished and younger families have moved away to seek employment elsewhere.
