Sefton News Term 3 2018 Term 3 2018 SEFTON NEWS Sincerity , Scholarship, Service W elcome to the first electronic edition of the Sefton News. The featured picture (right) was created by one of our Photography Club students, Humayra Autoshi. THIS ISSUE INCLUDES Principal's Message Australian Mathematics Competition 2018By Humayra Autoshi Year 10 Aurecon Bridge Competition Photography Club Premier’s Debating Challenge Years 7 & 8 Premier’s Debating Challenge State Finals Years 11 & 12 Year 12 Debating Semi Finals NSW Legacy Junior Public Speaking Award NSW Volleyball School Cup PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Open Girls Netball Knockout Competition Since I began students, staff, and colleagues have all been asking me, Tournament of Minds how are you finding Sefton High School and my new role? I find Phyllis Wong Show comes to myself waxing lyrically about this fantastic school but one word keeps Sefton appearing in my answer. Busy. Sefton High School is an incredibly Book Club: Children’s Book Shop Excursion busy place. As I prepare this report I have been reflecting on the huge From the Sports Desk number of events that crowd our calendar and make this school such Carnivals a stimulating environment for students and staff alike. Visual Arts Year 11 RSPCA Fundraiser A number of whole school events such as SEMPH, Jeans for Genes Years 7 & 10 Drama Excursion Day, Pretty in Pink Day and House Games have been enjoyed and Year 10 Macbeth Incursion celebrated across the school. Additionally, students and staff have Studying for Exams partnered to compete in a range of knockout sports, debates, Visual Arts News Tournament of the Minds, Aurecon Bridge Building Competition, a Thank you to the 2018 Prefects Message from the Prefects superb merit assembly and at the end of Term 2 the most wonderful talent quest. Any wonder that every day I have to pinch myself just to be certain that my reality of leading Sefton High School is not just a dream. Any wonder so many people seek enrolment in this fine school. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Around the physical environment of the school, I am aware of the heat issue that affects teaching and learning in the top of A and E blocks particularly. It was the first thing students wanted to talk with me about. There are infrastructure design issues which to my untrained eye are clearly an issue. I am trying to work with Department officers to see if a long term solution can be found. Please note that at this stage air conditioning is not an option due to limitations of the grid supply. I will continue to try to get a lasting solution but it will require, in my view, a large infrastructure upgrade and as such there are layers and channels I have to work through to try to bring this about. Several trees have also been identified as an issue and will need removing. It is never desirable to lose magnificent native plants but three gum trees are clearly in bad health and two others are unfortunately interfering with sporting facilities and are a potential hazard. I am working closely with Department officers to ensure safe and minimal removal. YEAR 12 The end of Term 3 marks the conclusion of almost thirteen years of formal schooling for Year 12. Amidst the pressure and expectations that drives so many of our dedicated and purposeful students to push themselves to levels they have previously not experienced, lies the opportunity to graduate and achieve an outstanding HSC result. I have challenged Year 12 as to whether they are contenders or pretenders. The point I seek to make with Year 12 is that it is their personal best that they should be aiming for. Personal best is not an ATAR. Personal best is a process of self-awareness in which students accept the challenge that they signed up for. They all voluntarily have chosen to undertake the HSC. Yes the HSC comprises tests or examinations. However, it is much more than these written events. It is also a test or an examination of character and as a school we will stimulate, challenge, berate, champion, encourage, cajole and do all we can to ensure each student is accepting of this challenge and working towards the achievement of their own personal best. Over the remaining weeks it is essential that students slowly increase their daily study load with a clear line of sight between the syllabus and past HSC papers. It is vital that students build to this finale. In the same way athletes practice specific training under the direction of their coaches, so Year 12 need to now be focussed on HSC exam style questions and literally drowning their coaches - their academic partners in this journey - our superb staff in a sea of marking. Beyond the focus on exams is the mixed emotions of spending these final few days with friends before the common denominator that binds students together is removed from them. I very much look forward to celebrating this time with Year 12 at their graduation concert and assembly and of course later in the year at the formal. These are in my experience wonderful occasions and I strongly urge all students and parents to not only be present but to embrace these as milestone events in your children’s lives. NEW MEDIA PLATFORMS I am pleased to advise that due to the vision and energy of staff, the first official Sefton High School Facebook page is now a reality. This platform will increasingly be used to communicate the events of the school as well as the achievements of students and staff. There are so many students and staff doing so many wonderful things we wanted to embrace a commonly used medium to showcase them. This will mean that a lot more photos and articles are being reported and of course published. Also, it is envisaged that by the end of the year we will have a new website up and running which will be far more visual and user friendly. It is part of the next generation Department of Education platform and it will allow for automatic translation into all language groups of families of our community. These newer mediums will mean a lot more photos and even videos of students in action will be published. If you do not want your student included in photos or to have their name published as part of these events please contact our office. If you are reading this edition of the Sefton News it must mean that you have either accessed this via our website, or via email or via Facebook. We are asking for all families to contact us and supply an email address as the Sefton News is no longer being printed and posted. It is also anticipated that we will link other information for parents via email so as to ensure timeliness of messages as well as safeguarding against mail that at times disappears from letterboxes. There have been several issues that have come to my attention and with which I seek parent assistance. TRAVEL As noted in the Term 2 Sefton News, if you are seeking extended leave for travel purposes please note that there are now very strict conditions and expectations placed on parents in terms of explanations and verification. If you seek such leave it can only be granted when all conditions are met. I cannot prevent parents from taking students out of school for a period but unless all requirements are attended to I cannot record such absences as leave. Forms are available from the office and your child can seek clarification on these requirements by coming to see me. ENROLMENT If you are seeking enrolment into Sefton High School as an in area resident there are significant expectations in terms of documentation that must in every instance be met. This school is unique in that it is an academically selective school that also takes from a small local area. It is my responsibility to verify the bona fides of those claiming local resident status so as to ensure I can staff and accommodate students and ensure that those that are genuine, bona fide residents get their place. Sadly there have been instances in the past of people claiming to be in area who in fact have not been and as such we have to have an exhaustive verification process in place. This process does not exist to keep local area residents out. Rather it exists to ensure that genuine, bona fide local area residents do in fact obtain a place should they seek it. If you are seeking enrolment, it is essential that all elements of the enrolment requirements be met. Please note, there are only of handful of places each year for out of area applicants who are seeking placement in the community stream. Our superb office staff can guide you through these requirements. STUDENT LATENESS Student lateness to school is an issue at Sefton High School. In order to maximise learning time, students commence Period 1 immediately the 8.45am bell rings. However there are a small number of students who are habitually late and seem to think nothing of it. Worse, the most frequent late arrivals are the students who live the closest, who in most instances simply sleep in. I am yet to see a plane come back down the runway to pick up late passengers. I am yet to see a movie rewound back to the beginning so as to accommodate late arrivals. I do not know any employer who tolerates habitual lateness. In all areas of life lateness comes with a consequence.

Appreciation is due to all staff, parents and student leaders who were significant in maintaining morale and close communication across the months of online learning when the school was operating without a physical presence and we were forced to respond to the ever changing conditions in NSW schools. Out of this extraordinary year emerged some remarkable achievements and a greater sense of appreciation of the value of friendship and collegiality which school life provides for us all. A landmark achievement was the construction of our long awaited building The Governors Centre with Sydney Boys High which throughout the months of the pandemic was able to be progressed with few interruptions to the building schedule.

As a school and as individuals we have flourished in a time of uncertainty and change. I believe in every aspect of learning - in our students, teachers, support staff, parents and community - we have grown. Our graduating class, our HSC cohort, have displayed incredible grit and determination as they have completed their year with dignity and success. Welcoming our new Year 7 students into our school has been very different in 2020, but our time in lockdown has made us all appreciate being together in a classroom and playground. Assemblies on teams, "quaranteam" games and sporting challenges kept reminding us that we belonged to a very special community.

  • 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. Information is provided on the Girraween High School website from mid-June of each year: http://www.girraween-h.schools.nsw.edu.au/our-school/enrolment 2.2 Application Package: It is mandatory that applicants use the official application package developed by the Department of Education (DoE). This may be accessed at: http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/gotoschool/types/selectiveschools.php All applications must reach the school by the advertised date, usually toward the end of July.

  • An Overview of Stile, Australia's #1 Science Resource Provider
    An overview of Stile, Australia’s #1 science resource provider EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR SCHOOL LEADERS Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 2 Table of contents Welcome letter 3 How we are rethinking science education > Our principles 5 > Our pedagogy 7 > Our approach 9 A simple solution > Stile Classroom 12 > Squiz 14 > Professional learning 15 > Stile Concierge 16 Key benefits 17 The Stile community of schools 19 The rest is easy 24 Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 3 It’s time to rethink science at school I’m continuously awestruck by the sheer power of science. In a mere 500 years, a tiny fraction of humanity’s long history, science – and the technological advances that have stemmed from it – has completely transformed every part of our lives. The scale of humanity’s scientific transformation in such a short period is so immense it’s hard to grasp. My grandmother was alive when one of the world’s oldest airlines, Qantas, was born. In her lifetime, flight has become as routine as daily roll call. Disease, famine and the toll of manual labour that once ravaged the world’s population have also been dramatically reduced. Science is at the heart of this progress. Given such incredible advancement, it’s tempting to think that science education must be in pretty good shape. Sadly, it isn’t. We could talk about falling PISA rankings, or declining STEM enrolments. But instead, and perhaps more importantly, let’s consider the world to which our students will graduate. A world of “fake news” and “alternative facts”.
