Many classes student ‘drop off and pick up’, and that the traffic have started new units of learning. Therefore, it is congestion along Seymour Street before and after important to remind students of the opportunity school is a major concern. I plan to contact Mitcham this provides and the key behaviours and strategies Council to discuss this issue and possible solutions. that will support them to be successful with their Safe Travel on Public Transport The school has been working with Light City Buses to ensure the safety of Blackwood High School students travelling to and from school. Recently, members of the Executive Team have been talking to drivers and students as the buses arrive at the beginning and leave at the end of the day. We have noticed that many students get off the bus in the morning with a cheery ‘thankyou’ and a smile for the driver. Many drivers have commented on this courteous behaviour which reflects positively on the school community. However, recently on some of the buses, there have been instances of concerning behaviour. As a result, we remind students (and families) about the behaviours expected when travelling on public transport: • All students are required to have a current ticket and to validate upon boarding. • Eating and drinking is not allowed as indicated by signage, therefore there should be no litter left on public transport. • Students are to speak quietly so as not to distract the driver and other members of the public. Offensive language will not be tolerated. • Shoes and feet are to remain off seats and on the floor. • Only push the bell for your designated stop. Inappropriate behaviours on buses/public transport can attract significant fines. Light City Buses can also charge the costs for cleaning up or for damage caused by passengers and it is possible for individual passengers to be banned from using buses. All buses are equipped with security cameras which, in many cases, make it possible to identify offenders. Light City Buses would prefer to work with the school community using an educative approach rather than issuing fines. However, students need to be aware that it is possible for fines to be issued. We are proud of our students, the great majority of whom exhibit the school values of care, achievement and respect and are great ambassadors for Blackwood High School. This reputation is on public display when students travel on public transport. Uniform At Blackwood High School it is an expectation that students wear school uniform. The school uniform policy was developed by the school community and is endorsed by the Governing Council, parents/caregivers, staff and students. All students who enrol at Blackwood High school are expected to proudly wear the school uniform because it: • Assists with the safety and care of students by identifying them as Blackwood High School students on the school grounds and while on excursions, and in the community. • Provides appropriate, cost effective clothing for the wide range of teaching and learning activities. • Develops a positive image of Blackwood High School in the wider community. • Contributes to school identity and develops a sense of belonging. • Reduces competitive dressing. • Develops discipline in wearing a prescribed uniform, often required by employers. The student diary and school website clearly state the school uniform requirements. I ask that parents/ caregivers speak to their children about these requirements and ensure that the following are not worn to school: • Leggings or yoga pants • Jeans of any colour • Track pants • Ugg boots • Coloured clothing worn under polo tops The July school holidays provides an opportunity for families to ensure students have the correct uniform attire ready for Term 3. From the beginning of next term students who arrive to school wearing non- uniform items, without an explanation from parents/caregivers, can expect a consequence. If families have questions or concerns about the uniform requirements or require support, please contact the school. Sharon Goldman, Principal 2 Inspiring Achievement and Respect Blackwood High School High Achievers • Congratulations to Tynan Carney, in Year 12, who was selected in the 30 man SANFL under 17 Futures State Squad.

IBMYP News Year 10 Personal Project The Year 10 students are currently working hard towards completing their Personal Projects and from some of the conversations I have had with students, there are some amazing ideas. The overall grade for Personal Project will reflect the assessment of the written report that students are now completing. The journal extracts and the product itself form vital supporting evidence and students include extracts and photographs as appendices. Early in Term 3, teachers will work together to give IBMYP predicted marks for the report and will also mark the task against the SACE Performance standards for the Personal Learning Plan (PLP) so it can be counted towards their PLP. In line with the IBO’s policy, external moderators will mark samples of final projects then confirm the IBMYP final grades given to all students during Term 4. A celebration of the Personal Project will be early in Term 3 where parents/caregivers and friends will be able to view the finished products. Kate Young, Leader, IBMYP 3 The Arts News Term 2 has been a busy one for The Arts, with a few performances and exhibitions across both Performing and Visual Arts.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Elise and the Gold Gloop by S.B. Davies S.B. Davies. At the age of six, my daughter was a good reader for her age, but refused to start reading “proper books” with chapters and no pictures. She was bored with “Horrid Henry” and fairies saving a rainbow yet once more and insisted that she was old enough to read proper books, but every one she tried was “too difficult”. It wasn’t she couldn’t read them, it was the concepts and storylines; they were all designed for nine and ten year olds. There was another problem too. She wanted to read about girls, yet all the books about girls we could find were twee and dull. My daughter is happy to read about a princess, along as she is a Ninja Princess; happy to save rainbows, as long as it involves a good sword fight or perhaps a well-planned heist. After a few months of this, my lovely daughter stopped reading. We tried most of the “first chapter books” that people recommend; all met with disinterest. So I asked her exactly what she wanted in a “proper book”. After much though, she wrote down: “Dragons, princess, zombies, vampires, ghosts, but not spiders and it should be funny and scary and have fighting in it.” We couldn’t find such a book with concepts and vocabulary suitable for a six year old – so I wrote one. I had written novels before, but not a children’s book, so I had help from my daughter to find the right level.

  • February Shed News
    SHED NEWS The Newsletter of the Crows Supporters Group – February 2019 THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH – “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” KEEP ON SUPPORTING! from our President Peter Kauschke Hello everyone and welcome to season 2019. The year kicked off with our assistance at the “CROWS FAN FAIR” in January. We were unable to have our usual sausage sizzle this year as the Club arranged for food vans to be present. However, we were able to sell our merchandise and photos and to sign people up for membership of the Group. Thank you to all of our committee members and volunteers who assisted with the day. Well done everyone. A wonderful effort in the heat! Banner has now commenced at our new ‘home’, the Christian Family Centre, 185 Fredrick Road, Seaton. Everyone is always welcome to come along, have a look at how it all happens and join in the fun. Work at the moment is mainly on the banners for our AFLW team. The AFLW season is well underway and there was a good turnout of enthusiastic supporters at Norwood for the girls’ first game. Unfortunately, it was not the desired result for us. The Crows girls played great footy but sadly they could not kick straight on the night, and this cost them a valuable win over last season’s premiers. Our Vice President, Tony Trist, has been working his fingers to the bone to get our website up and running and it is amazing. Well worth having a look at and exploring it at length.

Each season the number of girls and women playing our great game increases and in welcoming Tasmania to their first Championships, it is tremendous that AFL has progressed to herald the first truly ‘National’ Women’s Championship. These championships provide an excellent opportunity to launch the AFL’s Women’s Week, instigated to recognise the contribution women make to football. To this end, the National Championships highlights the passion women have for playing the game that compliments the support they have for the game in general. Congratulations to all players, coaches and officials who have been selected to represent their state. As participation grows, so too does the competition for places to represent your state. You should feel proud to have secured a place in these championships and I wish you all the best throughout the week. Andrew Demetriou, CEO: Australian Football League Happy birthday to you!

  • Jaz Garners Players' Attention
    JAZ GARNERS PLAYERS’ ATTENTION Monday 20th April North Melbourne star Jasmine Garner’s transition to a midfielder has proven an overwhelming success, with the Kangaroo winning the AFLW Players’ Most Valuable Player Award, proudly presented by Our Watch, following an outstanding AFLW season. The 25-year-old was voted the clear winner by her peers with 413 votes, ahead of second-year Carlton youngster Madison Prespakis (227) and Collingwood’s Jaimee Lambert (201). Garner, an AFLW foundation player who kicked the competition’s first ever goal as a Magpie before crossing to North Melbourne after the 2018 season, spent the majority of AFLW4 as a midfielder after winning All Australian selection as a forward in 2019. The Yarraville product also complemented her midfield time by resting in the forward line, booting eight goals for the year, only two away from the competition’s leading goal-kicker. Garner, who was presented with her MVP trophy while isolating at her family home in Trentham, said she is humbled to receive the honour from her peers. “I’m truly proud to be recognised by the AFLW players’ as their MVP,” Garner said. “The AFLW competition has come so far in such a short space of time, all the players have put their heart and soul into performing, so for the cohort to value my contribution this highly is something I won’t forget.” A NORTH FORWARD TURNED AFLW COACH’S INSIGHT INTO HOW GARNER BECAME A VERSATILE WEAPON Garner, an All-Australian forward in 2019, is the first North Melbourne player to win the AFLPA MVP since Wayne Carey in 1998.
