September Merewether High School Bulletin 2014 September Merewether High School Bulletin 2014 Diary Dates This Issue P&C Meeting Tuesday, 16th September P1 Principal 7:30pm - ILC P2 Deputy Principal P3 “Moos”paper P8 English P10 LOTE Principal’s Report P19 POSH P21 Support Unit Campbell Melrose of Year 12 is one of seventeen outstanding senior high P25 Event Diary school students selected to represent Australia at The Hague Model P27 Sports Tour United Nations (THIMUN) Conference, one of the most significant P29 Uniform Shop Hours gatherings of young people in the world. The Conference attracts over 4000 students from 90 different countries. Now in its 47th year, the annual conference runs for five days from eh 26 to 30 January 2015 in the Dutch Seat of Parliament, The Hague. Model United Nations is a simulation of Dates to Remember the various organisations of the United Nations. In order for Campbell to participate in the Conference he needs to raise just over $7000. Currently Campbell is looking for sponsors to help him make the trip. Wednesday 17th 11.00am As Year 12 move towards their last week of classes and their final exams, I would like to take the opportunity to thank them for the contribution they have made to Merewether Sports Presentation High School throughout the past six years and wish them luck for their upcoming exams. Year 12 have continued to prepare diligently and to access the many supports in place Friday 19th to help them in their final weeks. The next five weeks leading to the HSC exams and (10.00am morning tea) the work each individual does can be the difference in their final results. Students are currently working together to support each other to achieve their personal best. I am 11.00 am Yr 12 impressed with the level of commitment and determination the majority of students are Presentation Assembly demonstrating at this time of their learning program. Groups who work together and support each other do better than those who work individually. The better each student does in the HSC examinations the better the cohort will do as their school assessments Tuesday 7th October can be positively moderated. All Year 12 are very aware they still have 50% of their All Students Return final HSC mark to achieve. Congratulations to Year 12 on their achievements to date and I look forward to sharing in their celebrations and successes at the completion of the HSC early November and when their results are released in December. Year 12 (2015) Learning Conference Tuesday 7th October will be the first day of the Higher School Certificate for our Year 11 students. To commence this very important year, all students will participate in a Learning Conference for the day. Students will be involved in sessions on Board of Studies requirements, scaling, moderation, past students will talk about their preparation and a session on time management and study skills will complete the day. The day is to support our students as they commence their final year at high school. Anyone who attended the annual POSH Concert will agree it was an outstanding night showcasing not only the talents of our Year 12 Music students, but the musicianship of our ensemble students. The sophistication of the performances and the development of the extensive performing arts programs within the school was evident on the night. Congratulations to all students and the CAPA staff. Merewether High School Bulletin September Congratulations to Tiernan Baldwin, Loryn Hibbard, Jemima Webber and Kristen Wunderlich who have been nominated for inclusion in OnStage as a result of their performance in the Higher School Certificate Drama examination for their group piece “Oestrogeneration”. Congratulations to Matthew Blyth of Year 8 who achieved second in the state in the National History Competition, an outstanding achievement. Congratulations to Ros Penson, Clare Howlett, Cath Donnelly and Isobelle Walsh who were recognised during Education Week by students for their inspirational teaching, building sense of community and service to learning. This was an initiative of the school prefect body where students were able to nominate staff for the awards. Over one thousand nominations for staff from students were received as part of this program. Prefects then took the nominations and decided on the four awards. From the Deputy As I write my bulletin entry I am reflecting on some of the recent achievements of our students and I am inundated with great news to share. Our Year 12 Drama students have recently presented their HSC performances pieces. Under the guidance of their teacher Ms Sellers our students have created and subsequently performed a satirical piece which they called Estrogeneration. The performance is about a company that makes the perfect women. Following their performance for the HSC marking team, the piece performed by Emma Elsley, Tiernan Baldwin, Lauren Hibbard, Jemima Webber, and Kristen Wunderlich has been nominated for inclusion in On-Stage. On Stage is the BOSTES recognition show for outstanding Drama performances in the NSW HSC 2014. This is an outstanding recognition for their excellent work. Sharvil Kesarwani in Year 7 has achieved 100% in the Australian Maths competition and has been invited to fly to Brisbane to attend a prestigious award ceremony to accept his prize. Sharvil is a very promising mathematician and it is wonderful to see his talents being acknowledged in this way. Following on from great work in the MUNA competition, Campbell Melrose of Year 12 has gained recognition for his work in being selected as the Australian representative to attend the international Model United Nations conference in the HAIG. This is an outstanding honour and we look forward to hearing of Campbell’s’ experience on his return. Last week we had a number of students representing Hunter at the state athletics championships at Homebush. After successful performances at this event, both the senior boys relay team (who finished 2nd) consisting of Hamish Lorang, Declan Spencer, Lucas Millward and Matt Reeves along with Zax Devenny who finished 2nd in the 13years boys 200m have now qualified to represent NSWCHS at the all schools state carnival next month. Next week is our final week of school for Year 12. We are looking forward to this very positive week of celebration for them as a culmination of their 13 years of formal schooling. A significant number of special activities and events are planned for them over the course of next week commencing with a very glamorous Year 12 formal event this Friday evening. It has been my pleasure to be their Deputy Principal throughout their HSC year and I have been particularly impressed with not only their approach to study and achievement but also to their commitment and selflessness towards others. This is a wonderful group of young people who are community minded and very giving. They have demonstrated to us on many occasions that they are more than ready to make a wonderful contribution to the wider world as they leave us at the end of their HSC exams. I will be undertaking a professional learning exchange to a school in Ontario Canada commencing on Thursday 18th September and whilst this is a wonderful opportunity it does unfortunately mean that I will not be present to congratulate Year 12 at their Final assembly on the 19th of September. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank them for their contribution to the school and for their ongoing preparation and success during their exams I wish them well. I look forward to seeing them during the period of their HSC exams in Term 4. N Harvey September Merewether High School Bulletin 2014 MHS MOOSPAPER 5 useful exam tips you might not have heard before Olivia Stanley, Year 11 The smell of caffeine, highlighter ink and freshly-written essays... It’s that time of the year again for Years 11 and 12 – exams. By now, most of the senior students (should) have mastered the exam techniques to optimise their performance in the HSC year, so we all know the classics: get a good night’s sleep, eat well, take study breaks etc. These are fundamentals to productive study, but the addition of these lesser known tips might just give you an edge. 1.Nail the multiple choice (literally) If you have a spare minute during ‘reading time’, use that time to your advantage and start on the multiple choice – use a nail to mark your answers on the sheet. Then, when you can pick your pen up you’ll be able to mark out your answers quickly and get onto the next section, saving valuable writing time. 2. Peer pressure In the time leading up to the exam, avoid anyone loud and/or panicking. Their attitude will just put you on edge and cause unnecessary nerves. In addition, their ‘I haven’t studied at all!’ or frantic reciting of language techniques in their loudest voice will distract your own preparation and planning. Instead, choose a quiet place to do last minute revision and stay calm. 3. Mix it up Find out beforehand the format of the exam, and allocate time limits and a sequence to complete the exam in depending on your personal ability. For example, the Business Studies test might be multiple choice, short answer, then an essay. If you’re a slow writer you might like to do the essay first and take extra time from the multiple choice to do this. 4. Relatable Mnemonics Create mnemonics for any and all lists you’re required to remember. That is, systems such as a pattern of letters, ideas or associates which aid in remembering something. Make them either fun (helps them to be memorable) or the more effective strategy when remembering a lot: make them relevant to the list you’re remembering by using the subject’s terminology.

I have always seen Term Three as the real business end of the year for secondary schools. By the end of this term Year Twelve have completed their studies and would have graduated at their final assembly on the last day of term. So it is a time when all staff are completing courses, revising, supporting students with specific external projects and completing Higher School Certificate paperwork. I sincerely wish all of Year Twelve the best for this term and I hope that they maximise their final term of schooling. Our senior debating team this term successfully made it to the state semi-finals of the Premier’s Debating Competition. They were narrowly defeated by North Sydney Girls High School but have had amazing success reaching this stage of the competition. Debating is very competitive in this region, let alone on a state level, and I would like to congratulate the whole team – Ben Frohlich, Alena Payne, Sofia Davey, Jake Rexter and Kiera Hayden for their effort and success, as well as Ms Scobie, Ms Harrip and Alexandra Yates for their support and commitment to the team and debating at Kotara High School.
