OUR 2015 SCHOOL CAPTAINS
As our current group of Year 12 students prepare to leave us, we
are delighted to usher in a new School Captain team for 2015. Year
11 students recently had the opportunity to hear from an
outstanding field of nominees for next year‘s school leadership
positions. The quality of their speeches continues to impress and
this year‘s was outstanding.
It is with great pleasure that we announce our 2015 team and wish
them all the very best in their new roles.

Our student leaders will be presented to the school at assembly

they believe student leadership is about, and their thoughts about
next year. In preparation for their new roles the team will take part
in a leadership development program run by the Australian Youth

FAREWELL TO OUR YEAR 12 GROUP
In what was a colourful and ‘interesting’ day. We farewelled our Year 12
class of 2014 last week as they completed their studies and now move
into exam preparation.
Following a BBQ breakfast with the group, students presented their final
concert which they are to be congratulated on.
OUR ARTS & TECHNOLOGY EXHIBITION SPECTACULAR
Congratulations to everyone involved in our third Art and Technology Exhibition held in our
Library last week that saw around 250 people join us for the opening on the Monday evening.
This year our CoGG Mayor, Councillor Darryn Lyons officially opened the exhibition and gave
an account of his journey into the arts from a student in Geelong to his photography around
the world. He also purchased some student work! The exhibition showcased the diverse
range of talent of our students and staff and was an impressive selection of works from all
year levels that included paintings, drawings, photography, animation, fashion, food, wood
and systems work. The exhibition ran for the week and was a great way to showcase the
quality of work at our school.
A special thank you to Ms Kristy Harvey (Head of the Arts) who initiated the exhibition and
to her staff for their support. Mayor Lyons also presented the following awards:
Excellence Award, for the most outstanding work in the exhibition: Jessica Johns;
Runners-up Awards, and Highly Commended Awards

EUROPE ART TOUR
Over the Term 3 school holidays 13 students embarked on Belmont High School’s first European Art Tour, visiting art galleries
and cultural sites across France and Italy. The first stop on the tour was 4 days in France, where students were able to view the
Mona Lisa at the Louvre, as well as viewing works by the modern masters such as Van Gogh and Monet at the Musee D’Orsay.
In addition to these gallery visits students also visited Monet’s Garden where he painted his famous Waterlillies, Van Gogh’s
mansion, Versailles, as well as cultural outings to the Eifel Tower, Champs Ellysee and the Catacombs. After 4 packed days in
Paris it was all aboard the overnight train to Venice, where students were able to experience life on the islands of Venice, eating
at local trattoria, visiting the markets, completing artworks on the canals, and riding in Gondolas. Students also visited the
Guggenheim museum, viewing iconic works by modern artists such as Picasso and Pollock, and visited the island of Murano
where the art of glass blowing has been passed down for generations.
Ms Kirsty Zahra
After a wonderful experience in Venice it was off
to Florence, where students were given the opportunity to shop, relax and take in the classic
Renaissance city. Visits to the Uffizi Gallery and
the Gallery Academia were highlights, where
students were able to view Michelangelo's ‘David’
and ‘The Birth of Venus’ by Botticelli, in addition
to other classic works by Da Vinci, Raphael and
Caravaggio. Students also enjoyed an Italian
cooking class, before packing their bags to travel
to Rome. Upon visiting Rome students were
struck by the hustle and bustle of the ancient
streets, enjoying walking through the many beautiful squares and piazzas. Essential visits to the
Coliseum and Roman Forum were enjoyed by the
students in fine Italian weather, and a visit to the
Vatican to view the Sistine Chapel and works by
the renaissance masters was an experience the
students will never forget. After a hectic 2 weeks
it was time to return to Australia. Supervising
teachers Ms. Kirsty Zahra and Mr. Luke Mandouit
would like to commend the students on their behaviour and fine attitude whilst overseas, representing Belmont High School; all tour guides and
hospitality staff had nothing but positive things to
say about our students, who respectfully embraced and appreciated the cultural opportunities
provided to them.
ART & TECHNOLOGY EXHIBITION
The 2014 Belmont High School Arts & Technology Exhibition Opening was a huge success! Guests enjoyed canapés and
wine as they viewed impressive student and staff works, and enjoyed live music and drama performances.
It was fantastic to celebrate the achievements of our Arts & Technology students from this year. Works included paintings,
drawings, printmaking, photography, fashion, ceramics, 3D mixed media, film, wood work and electronic work.
Our Mayor, Darryn Lyons, was a very entertaining guest presenter, sharing with the large crowd his experience as a high
school Art student, where his artistic endeavours began.
The Mayor’s flamboyant rainbow mow-hawk was an artwork in itself and exactly what the crowd was hoping for. Students
were thrilled when Cr Lyons took the time to discuss with them the fantastic works they had on display in the exhibition.
However, no one was more thrilled than Year 12 student, Haylee Holt, when Cr Lyons purchased her photograph for his
personal collection.
Well done to the following students who received awards.

Fresh Food Fair in Ocean Grove on Sunday November 2nd. They will perform at 11.30am if you want to see them. On
Tuesday November 4th they will be at Freedom Aged Care in Grovedale.

ALCOA FUTURE LEADERS OF INDUSTRY
PROGRAM AND GRADUATION
Belmont High School was lucky enough to have 5 outstanding
students successfully apply and participate in an innovative
leadership and development engineering and manufacturing
program within the Geelong region in 2014. The Alcoa Future
Leaders of Industry Program is designed to encourage young
people to consider a career path in advanced manufacturing
and to follow a study path that will make them eligible for
employment in the sector. It is also designed to raise the
profile of advanced manufacturing and engineering within our
region and to increase the awareness of career pathways and
opportunities within the industry. Our Belmont students joined
a group of other interested students from variety schools
across Geelong at a number of industry based visits
throughout the year. These visits included Boundary Bend
Olives, Deakin University, the Gordon, Biolab, Air Radiators
and LyondellBasell.
The graduation for this
program was held at the
very impressive $34 million
Carbon Nexus building at
Deakin University Waurn
Ponds on the 28th October.
Carbon Nexus, a globally
unique,
open-access
carbon
fibre/composite
research facility conducting strategic research projects with
industry and is the only facility of its type in the world.
Students, staff, industry representatives and families were led
on a tour of the facility, followed by the presentation of the
graduation certificates for all participants.

Peter McKenzie
The Belmont High students, Shalia Wood, Sam Vander
mark, Gianni Valenti, Kyle Purcell and Sam McLachlan did
the school proud, not only at the graduation, but also
throughout the year and showed a great deal of enthusiasm
and passion for the manufacturing industry and the program
as a whole. Despite the closure of Alcoa Pt. Henry, the Alcoa
Foundation have agreed to fund the program for a further two
years in partnership with the Skilling the Bay Initiative, the
Gordon, Deakin University and the Geelong Regional
Vocational educational Council (GRVEC). We look forward to
seeing more Belmont High School students involved in this
important program in future years. A huge thankyou needs to
go to the industry partners that allowed the students to visit
their sites and to Annabel Newnham from GRVEC for her
fantastic coordination of the program.

BOOK REVIEW
Cassandra Clare & Holly Black’s “The Iron Trial”
Does this sound familiar? A baby boy is injured in a terrible war between good and evil. He is left motherless. At age
12 he is sent to a secret boarding school to learn how to use his magic. He befriends a girl and a boy. Think you’ve
heard it all before? You have. And you haven’t…..
This is not a Harry Potter book, it’s book 1 in a series of 5 by Clare (Infernal Devices, Mortal Instruments) and Black
(Spiderwick Chronicles). The protagonist is Callum – Call – and unlike Harry, he was quite happy at home and doesn’t
want to be at his new school, The Magisterium.
There are bound to be comparisons with Rowling’s work, particularly since Clare first came to prominence for her HP
fan fiction – the Draco Trilogy. Yet there are some twists that HP doesn’t have and a very unexpected turn towards the
end which will have you waiting impatiently for book 2. (Due September 2015!)
Books are reviewed and displayed weekly in the library.

L'ANGOLO DI BENIAMINO
“Tra moglie e marito non mettere il dito” is a recurring saying in Italy,
especially in the context of large families or between friends. Since it has
no correspondence in English, it can be translated as “Never interfere between husband and wife” or even better: “Don't meddle in a quarrel between a husband and his wife”.
It means that is always wise not to interfere in the matters of a family that
is not one’s own, because the problems of a couple are so intimate and
deep that can be judged only by man and wife.

Dear Parent/Guardian
OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER HOMESTAY
Belmont High School will be hosting some students from Korea who are expected to arrive 4th February 2015. The
girls and boys are 15 and 16 years old. As they will be attending school we need to organise homestay arrangements now.
Homestay requires that the girls and boys are cared for by your family and take part in normal family activities
during the weekends. The goals for the program are both cultural and language.
As a part of the program there is a reimbursement of $250 per week per student for the homestay family. These
students can have their own bedroom, or may share a room with another Korean student of the same gender, and
must be provided with 3 meals per day and laundry of their clothing.
This is a wonderful opportunity to host an overseas student for a short period of time with mutual benefit for the
visiting student and the host family. This would be a beneficial experience for Belmont High students.
If you are interested in hosting a student, please return the reply slip below to the school office or indicate via
email (cordingley.cherie.l@edumail.vic.gov.au) as soon as possible. If you would like more information please
contact Mrs Cherie Cordingley (Business Manager).
Kind regards,
Cherie L. Cordingley
Business Manager
