Welcome Back
Welcome back to students for Term 4. This is a busy term with final assessment and exams for VCE
students and Common Assessment Tasks for all others. I encourage students to reflect on the
suggestions made by teachers at the Parent/Teacher/Student 3-Way Conferencing held at the end
of last term and VCE students, in particular, to make sure that they know which work must be
submitted for assessment and how best to prepare for upcoming exams.

TERM 4
October Arts Festival
13 October – 24 October
The October Arts Festival opened this week and
the quality of visual artworks displayed in the
October Arts Exhibition is incredible!
We are very proud of our gifted and budding artists.
Voting closes for the exhibition today and the
winners will be announced next Thursday in a
celebratory luncheon.
Congratulations also to all the talented students
who performed throughout the week. It is fantastic
to see so many students willing get up in front of a
whole school crowd and showcase their talents.
A big thank you to everyone involved and we look
forward to the celebrations continuing next week.

CURRICULUM NEWS
ENGLISH
Year 12 English Examination
The Year 12 English Examination is the first VCAA written exam to be
undertaken at the end of the year. The English exam will take place on
Wednesday 29 October and contributes 50% of the students' overall
Study Score for English. Although students will be studying at home in
the lead up to the English Examination, they are encouraged to come
into school and seek assistance from their English teacher. Teachers
will be available during the time that the English class would usually
run, or alternately, you can make other arrangements to meet with your
specific English teacher.
Year 12 English Holiday Revision Classes
The Year 12 students were fortunate to have a series of intensive
revision classes over the last break for English. Over two days,
students had the opportunity to revise over the different areas of study.
A big thank-you to Laura Higgins and Sarah Redgewell who gave up
their time to run the English Holiday Classes.
Writer’s Notebook – Years 7, 8 and 9
As part of their Writing Folio, students in Years 7 to 9 are also keeping
their own Writer’s Notebook. This is a place for the students to store
ideas, photos, song lyrics, quotes and summaries of events that can be
used at a later date as inspiration for writing. We encourage you to
support your child with the use of their Writer’s Notebook outside of
school. If something of interest happens over the weekend, tell your
child to, “Put it in their Notebook.” Students may opt to use their iPad
or a traditional notebook, however, regardless of their choice, all entries
into their Writer’s Notebook need to be stored in the one location.
Friday Frenzy – Years 7, 8 and 9
Each Friday during Form Assembly, students in Years 7 to 9 engage in
Friday Frenzy. This is their opportunity to make an entry into their
Writer’s Notebook. This week’s Friday Frenzy prompt was a visual
prompt. You’ll find the weekly Friday Frenzy Prompt on the Portal. We
encourage you to discuss these prompts with your child so you can
explore the differing ideas that stem from the prompt.
Brooke Addison, Head of English
MATHS
Year 11 Examination
With the Year 11 Examinations commencing on 11 November,
students should ensure that as well as undertaking their usual class
work and homework, they are also scheduling specific blocks of time to
revise. All Year 11 students were given a holiday homework and
examination preparation booklet in order to assist them with their study.
In English, Year 11 students will undertake a three hour exam, with an
additional 15 minutes for Reading Time. Students will be assessed on
all areas of study that have been undertaken this year.
Junior Mathematics
Students in Years 7 and 8 will be working on this semester’s Common
Assessment Tasks which involve students investigating a range of
problem solving tasks. The students are required to explore a variety
of techniques they could use to solve the problems and record their
techniques and discoveries in a journal. Through this process we have
had a number of students come up with some very effective and
incredibly insightful techniques that we’d like to encourage parents to
explore with their child – we’re sure you’ll be as impressed as we are.
Year 11 into 12 Orientation
Year 11 into 12 Orientation is a four day program this year and will run
from Monday 17 November to Thursday 20 November. Year 11
students have been told that their attendance each day is vital, as we
will begin the 2015 English coursework and compulsory holiday
homework will be distributed.
Next year’s text books will be different to this year text book – they will
still be Maths Quest by Jacaranda and very similar to what we are
currently using, however, the current edition is no longer available so
we have needed to change to the Victorian version of the text book
which we feel is a better text. These books will be on the 2015 Booklist
released in a few weeks’ time.
Year 10 Romeo and Juliet Incursion
All Year 10 students are currently studying William Shakespeare’s
Romeo and Juliet. As part of their study our Year 10 students were
educated, entertained and engaged by members of the Complete
Works Theatre Company through a dynamic and interactive
performance of the play on Thursday 16 October. Congratulations to
Tyler Isaacs, Emily Svarnias, Hayden Pierson and Jess Koncic who
participated in the performance. Their performances were outstanding
and were thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance.
Middle School Mathematics
Year 9 students will sit their Mathematics examination on Thursday 4
December. Students will be permitted to take in a single A4 sheet of
notes on both sides to help them with formulas and terminology in the
examination. They will also be permitted to take in their own calculator.
Students will be assessed on the content from Semester 2.
Year 10 Examination
Parents and students are reminded that the Year 10 English
Examination will run on Thursday 27 November during Periods 1, 2 and
3. The Examination will be broken up into two parts: Romeo and Juliet
Text Response Essay and a Language Analysis Essay.
Year 9 Examination
The Year 9 English Examination will be held on Friday 28 November
and is a compulsory component of the Year 9 course. Not only should
students be completing their regular coursework, they should also be
undertaking examination revision; paying particular attention to
persuasive language devices and the texts that have been studied in
2014.
Semester 2 Writing Folio – Years 7, 8 and 9
Students in Years 7, 8 and 9 are continuing with their Writing Folio in
Semester 2. Students are encouraged to conference regularly with
their teacher to ensure they are keeping up with the demands of the
Folio.
Year 10 students will also be sitting their exams the first week of
December. They will be permitted to take in two A4 sheets of notes on
both sides to help them with formulas and terminology in the
examination. Students will be expected to use their CAS calculators in
the examination to demonstrate their ability to use technology which is
a crucial aspect of the curriculum. Calculators will not be provided on
the day and it is an expectation that every student will have their own
calculator.

upcoming examinations.

Mathematics Talent Quest
Over the past few months Year 8 and 9 students, under the guidance
of Laura Kaspar, have been working on projects that they could enter
into the Mathematical Association of Victoria (MAV) Mathematics
Talent Quest. The students submitted these projects at the end of July
and they were then judged by a panel of teachers and MAV personnel.
Our students did exceptionally well.
Congratulations to all students and big thank you to Laura Kaspar for
giving up her time to work with the students on their projects.

VCE Music Performance Examination
Last Wednesday, the Year 12 Music Performance students underwent
their VCAA Performance Examinations at Aquinas College in
Ringwood, where they each presented a program of musical works of
no less than 20 minutes' duration. There is a tremendous amount of
preparation and a huge investment of time and effort required for a
VCE performance subject, not to mention the level of focus and
courage required to perform in front of a panel of assessors, and we
congratulate all of our Year 12 musicians on their accomplishments this
year and wish them the very best with the remainder of their studies.
VCE Drama Performance Examination
The Year 12 Drama students are performing their Solos for
assessment today, Friday 17 October in front of the VCAA at
Mooroolbark Community Centre. Students have been working
tirelessly over the past few months in preparation for this task and we
wish them the very best of luck.

Congratulations to all Bands who participated in the Battle of the Bands
heats in September. This Friday, 17 October, the Middle School
Quadrangle will be rocking with five bands battling it out in the 2014
Battle of the Bands Grand Final.
Each band made it through the heats with exceptional musical skill and
performance quality. Local music studio and shop Valley Music from
Lilydale have offered a FIRST PRIZE of 4 free rehearsals in their studio
rooms. Representatives from the shop will be coming out to judge the
competition. We wish best of luck to all students competing!
September Soiree 2014
Performance night of solos, duets and small ensembles
Congratulations to all students who participated in the September
Soiree held at the Treble Clef Jazz Lounge last term. The venue was
alive with music from student solos, duos and group performances.
Special thanks to Ms Ventura who ran the night and rehearsals during
the day with students. A big thank you to all of the family and friends
who came to watch students perform their fantastic work!
In the article they commented on
the experience being very
rewarding and one that will
encourage them to be better
Mathematicians in the future.

HUMANITIES
Humanities students have been actively participating in a wide array of
educational activities that are designed to improve their understanding
of the world, their critical thinking skills, and their resilience.
ASX Stock Market Game and Investment Club
Thirty students are currently involved in the Australian Stock Exchange
‘ASX Share Market Game’ and a big thank you to Ewan Humphreys
and Christina Xynos for giving up their Thursday lunchtimes to assist
me to run this activity.
It is wonderful to see students logging on to the Australian Stock
Exchange to monitor their positions, check out pricing activity via charts
and to place orders during their own time. This game is reaching its
conclusion and many students have learnt a valuable lesson. Stock
markets do not just go up! Many began by making a profit but the
turmoil to hit financial markets over the last few weeks has left many of
them with sizeable ‘paper’ losses. It is great to hear students
discussing trends and dividend payments as they decide on how to
invest their hypothetical $50,000.
Excursions
Year 8 Geography students visited the Immigration Museum this week
as part of their studies on ‘Interconnectedness. Thank you to Trent
Morton and Adam Sherwin for organising this informative trip.
Year 9 Geography students will be visiting the Port of Melbourne
Authority in November as part of their studies on ‘Interconnectedness.
This will give them the opportunity to recognise the importance of trade
to our lifestyles and how trade connects us with the rest of the world.
Thank you to Catherine Edwards for organising this excursion.
Year 10 Geography students will be visiting the Toolangi State Forest
on October 24 to further their understanding of forestry resources and
sustainability. Thank you to Jamie Pointon for organising this trip.
A select group of students will be involved in a Model UN Conference
at Yarra Hills College, Mooroolbark in November.
Examinations
Year 12 students will have their last day of classes on Monday 20
October and they begin the VCAA exams at the end of the month.
Please check the VCAA website for the official exam timetable.
Year 11 VCE and Year 10 students will be sitting examinations for
revision and practise purposes during the end of November and early
December. Year 11 students sitting a Unit 3 / 4 subject will be
completing their Year 12 Examination as per the VCAA timetable. We
wish all students good luck and good fortune and remind them that
good results flow from hard work.
Ipads and Laptops Year 7-10
If your child has a laptop or Ipad it is very important that it is brought to
all Humanities classes charged and with the required downloads.
Teachers make use of these for research, ebooks, information
distribution, presentations, viewing ‘Click View’ documentaries and
submission of work, to name just a few. Students without computers
will always be given the opportunity to borrow a laptop but there are not
enough to lend to students with their own computers.
SAC Redemption for Humanities VCE Students
If you are unwell and miss a VCE SAC, you will be required to bring a
medical certificate or a detailed note from your parent or guardian
explaining your absence to the VCE Co-Ordinators. Once the absence
is approved your teacher will book you in for SAC Redemption, which
will be the immediate Tuesday following your absence. SAC
Redemption runs from 3:00pm until 4:30pm and is the only way you
can sit a missed VCE SAC. It is important that a missed SAC is
completed promptly because all feedback to students has to be
delayed until everybody has sat the SAC. This actually hinders
learning outcomes because delayed feedback loses its relevance.
Toby Robertson, Head of Humanities
SPORTS NEWS

Reptile Room Update
Over the September holidays we finished building our first lot of cages,
with a big thanks to everyone who has helped us out financially to be
able to get this far. The zoo keepers and their families have worked
tirelessly to complete this stage of the building process. We are now
waiting for final plans to start building the extension to the room which
will hold some of our zoo style habitat enclosures and most excitingly,
our crocodile tank. There is still a lot to be done and we’d like to thank
those who have offered their assistance so far.
Once we can make a start on the extension we’ll be in touch with those
who have offered help and if anyone else is interested in helping out
with building project and / or building materials we would really
appreciate your assistance.

helps celebrate their amazing success. If you know of any
achievements that the Year 7 Coordinators could mention at an
assembly or in our section of the newsletter, we would greatly
appreciate it if you would let us know.
One of our Year 7 students, Brydon Griffiths, has run over 140km so
far in his efforts to raise money for the Reptile Room. He has also
raised more than $4,500 which is an amazing effort. Last weekend he
ran 10km in the Melbourne Marathon and aims to run a further 50km
over the next few weeks. He is to be encouraged and praised for this
incredible effort!
