As announced, I have been appointed Principal at Blakehurst High School and will commence in this role in Term 3. Hence, I would like to take this opportunity to firstly thank the many students, families and colleagues who have congratulated me in the past few weeks. Your best wishes and thoughts are humbling and have made the departure even more difficult. Indeed, I would like to extend my gratitude to the Endeavour school community for their continued support over the last five years, it has been quite a journey. Endeavour Sports High School is truly a unique school. Every day is completely different, the excitement, the buzz in the classrooms, corridors, playground, and sporting fields is like no other. Our students are warm, caring, intelligent and talented. Our teachers, mentors, coaches, student support officers and office staff, are committed professionals who genuinely want every student to succeed, they empower and transform our students’ livelihoods – they ensure everyone belongs. Our executive team are united in ensuring Endeavour Sports High School continues to enact teaching that works, empowering staff and each other. Our Principal, James Kozlowski and fellow Deputy Ross Dummett, are leaders who inspire and motivate all, to be the best they can be, setting high standards for all. They, along with staff are future focused, and dedicated to making Endeavour Sports High School a high impact school. I feel privileged to have worked with such students and colleagues, in such a wonderful school setting. I have much to be grateful for. The warmth, positivity, the learning, the feeling of being part of a school community intrinsically connected by a shared purpose. It is so simple to give, when you have so many people who are reciprocal in giving back. I am thankful for the genuine conversations and relationships that I have developed with students, families and colleagues, the challenges which have extended me, the successes, the opportunity to lead teaching and learning and to make a difference. In this final opportunity to make a difference, I would like to reiterate to our students: Think about your learning, be kind to each other, cooperate with your teachers, ask questions – you only get to do school once, so make the most of it. “Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle”. I will ask you once more - Who can stop you? What can stop you? Now ask yourselves – Who can stop me? What can stop me? I know that my experiences at Endeavour have shaped me immensely, making me a worthier teacher, leader and person – thank you Endeavour. I sincerely wish you all – students, families, colleagues, and community members the very best. Sophie Kapsimalis Deputy Principal HOME LANGUAGE – Year 8 All Year 8 students have submitted 3D models for their major assignment. They have truly stepped up and created some unique, quality models that we are proud to display in our school library and in the Language classroom. In addition, Language classes have been busy counting up to the millions in Greek. Many famous mathematical theories and mathematicians are Greek! ... such as: Pythagoras, Trigonometry and the letter π. Students have also studied the duties and traditional dress of the Greek Presidential Guards and some students were lucky enough to dress up as Guards for their class. Classes are ending the term by sampling Lamb Souvlaki with Tzatziki sauce on pita bread and Greek salad. Ms K Mouratidis Language Department HOME DEBATING Endeavour Debating Success This term has been exciting for all members of Endeavour’s debating teams. Mr Grose’s seniors were successful in their first round debate against Cronulla High School. This newly formed team will now go on to compete against Caringbah High School in Round 2 of the Premier’s Debating Challenge for 2017. Mr Moller’s junior teams have also had an exciting start to the debating season, taking on each other in Round 1 of the challenge. The area of Education saw both teams battle it out over the posed topic of “The school curriculum should include two hours of charity work per week for all high school students”. Both teams performed to their personal best. This was the first debate for our new Year 7 team, who put up a mighty fight against the Year 8 side. The Year 8 team, arguing against the topic, was victorious. Congratulations to all students involved in debating and best of luck in your upcoming debates. Year 7: Mr Daniel Moller, Caleb Strahl, Brae Year 8: Byron Kay, Marina Hilellis, Tyler Ovens, Damien Murphy, Dane Kingston Sherman, Joshua Kermond Endeavour Public Speaking On Friday 28 July Endeavour will be hosting the Legacy Public Speaking Final in the Library. Endeavour is honoured to have the opportunity to host this event for the second year in a row. This event allows us to showcase the wonderful facilities we have at Endeavour to a broad range of schools from the Sydney region. The day will see a number of junior speakers from around Sydney compete for entry into the final stages of the competition. Harrison Parker and Byron Kay will be representing Endeavour and are busy preparing their speeches for the day. Endeavour would like to extend an invitation to parents and carers to attend and celebrate the success of our students. Time: Commencing 9:30am Date: Friday 28 July 2017 Location: Endeavour Sports High School Library Daniel Moller English Department HOME EXTENSION CLASS Term 2 has been a very busy term for the students in the J classes as they have participated in a number of activities as well as State Science & History competitions. It has been pleasing to see both year groups undertake Elevate workshops in May where, they worked with professionals to modify their study behaviour by understanding what they need to do when revising for exams. The challenge in any study skills program is getting students to use and apply the skills they learn and this is what the workshops fostered throughout the day. Fieldtrip to Macquarie University’s Museum of Antiquities In Week 10 of Term 1, 8J had the opportunity to accompany the Year 9 Forensic Archaeology class to Macquarie University where they had their first real experience of working with the Professors of Antiquities to examine a cold case from Ancient Rome. Artefacts from around 130BC, during the time of Gaius Marius’ encounters with the Germanic tribes were on display, with a skeleton representing the deceased soldier who may have owned them. The students were encouraged to ask questions about the objects and the condition of the skeleton to make inferences about the deceased’s occupation, his livelihood, his social activities and how he may have died. Following this was a tour of the museum with countless artefacts from Ancient Rome, Persia, Mycenae, Crete, Egypt and Libya to name a few. The students were also engaged in a PPT presentation with the curator who talked them through forensic methods in studying artefacts, bog bodies, burials and mummification. It was an exceptional day and a very valued excursion, with many students thanking Ms Jessop and me for the experience. Principal Awards & Students Of The Week Principal Awards Tamara Girdwood-Reich and Will Cameron, 7J Language Student of the Week Kynan Hodges, 8J Library & Literacy Students of the Week Miranda, Jeffrey, Ariella, Damien & Brae, 7J TSP Cricket Student of the Week Will Cameron, 7J TSP Athletics Student of the Week Tom Jessep, 7J HOME Extra-Curricula achievements: Congratulations to Reneigh Scott, who was selected to become part of the Ultimo Operational Directorate-Gili Dancers, where she performed at the Ultimo Public School Dance festival and other cultural events around the Sydney region. Competitions & Extension Initiatives On 22 May, 7J and 8J participated in the Big Science Competition, where students attempted questions that required more than factual recall. Students can gauge their performance against national averages and be recognised for their achievements. 8J competed in the Australian History Competition which had questions from Stage 4 and general knowledge components testing student abilities in a variety of topics on world history. Hotmaths is still running for Years 7 & 8, challenging students in problem solving and applying mathematical formulas to everyday challenges. STEM continues to broaden the learning of our students across Years 7 & 8 in the areas of Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering. Mr Dummett has secured a financial grant that will enable the STEM coordinator Mr Glenn Tindall to purchase our own 3D printers and various technological devices that will enhance the program and allow our students the facilities and tools to work collaboratively on projects involving robotics.

We congratulate all representatives in attendance as they are the finest male and female players from the three education sectors in NSW: Combined Catholic Colleges Combined High Schools Combined Independent Schools These schools’ sectors comprise around one million students in both Primary and Secondary schools, so to gain representation at our NSW All Schools level is indeed an honour and privilege. Whilst at the Open level we acknowledge the winners of the Championships, the aim of this Round-Robin series is to traditionally select our 2021 Open Boys and Girls State Teams and our 16 & Under Boys State Team. However, in 2021 due to COVID restrictions and limitations there will be no further progression following the All Schools Championships and Merit Teams will be announced (Open Boys & Girls only) to recognise the achievements of those outstanding players across the All Schools Championships. Due to the cancellation of the School Sport Australia Championships NSWCHS made a collective decision not to par- take in this years 16 & Under Tri-Series, however the Independent and Catholic Sectors decided to proceed and invited Westfields Sports High Schools to participate as an invitational team. Our Association has some very fine players and also we are fortunate to have dedicated and professional staff across all sectors who continue to support these talented athletes and the tradition of these final State trials.

  • March 2021 Tech Talk
    Tech Talk Sydney March Technical 2021 High School PRESENTATION DAY PRINCIPAL Speech day was extremely successful this year and it was the first occasion whereby this ceremony was simultaneously delivered live to our student NEWS body and via social media to our community. I was acutely aware of the far- reaching effect this livestream meant to family, relatives, alumni and friends as we were able to gather and celebrate our student success on a global level. We warmly welcomed back Sam Dando, ex-Deputy Principal, who was responsible for creating the “Sydney Technical High School Wall of Fame” in 2005. Mr Dando delivered a lovely speech about formally celebrating the achievements of our “Old Boys”. Mr Dando’s lovely memoirs of our alumni demonstrated high achievement in many diverse areas including: “inventors, surgeons, medical specialists, musicians, artists, dancers, architects, academics, administrators, economists, businessmen, educators, writers, politicians, engineers, media producers and personalities, sportsmen, Steven So sports administrators, and military Principal commanders”. This is a wonderful testament to the diverse success of our Alumni which is underpinned by the strong educational foundations provided at Sydney Technical High School. L-R: Jerry Mouzakis, Daniel Nemani (School I would like to thank the large team of Captain) and Sam Dando staff and students who made this event possible and acknowledge the never ending support of the Parents and Citizens Committee. I would like to publicly thank Trevor Trotman, Cheryl Feigen, Shane Gamage and Julie Ryan for their outstanding contributions in making the day exceptional. More photos of Presentation Day will be in the next edition of Tech Talk.

  • Enrolment Policy Updated June 2019
    Enrolment Policy Updated June 2019 Girraween High School is a fully academically selective high school. Enrolments are capped at 120 for Years 7–10 and 140 for Years 11–12. New vacancies are limited in Years 8–10 and only arise when a current student leaves. However, an additional class is formed for Year 11 and at least 20 places are offered. Enrolment into Year 12 would, in the majority of circumstances, be an educational disadvantage for the student. Therefore enrolment into Year 12 would be highly unlikely and would be at the discretion of the Principal. 1. Entry to Year 7 1.1 The High Performing Students Unit (HPSU) administers all aspects of Year 7 placement. This information may be accessed as follows: http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/learning/k-6assessments/shsplacement/index.php Therefore Girraween High School has no control of entry into Year 7. 2. Entry to Years 8–12 2.1 Advertising: Advertising is arranged by the HPSU and is placed in selected metropolitan, regional and rural newspapers in mid-June to advise parents that limited vacancies may occur in selective high schools in Years 8–12.
