Special Education
The activities of our supported students this term herald
hope for a bright future. Wi thi n the classroom curriculum,
activities around the school and through Community Access
Programmes, positive action for the future emerges as a
common theme.
The IM class has already “rolled out the red carpet” for four
incoming classmates for 2012, offering them valuable
orientation activities and a warm welcome, creating for
them an inviting and supportive atmosphere in which to
begin their journey through high school.

The IO students have been busy making preparations to farewell two of their peers at the end of
their school careers. Shannon Boundy and Kane Collins will be honoured with a spectacular dance
item to be performed on stage at Club Panthers Newcastle at the Regional IO Graduation Concert.
The effort, energy and creativity poured into this event are testament to the skills of all the
students, and are symbolic of the wishes that accompany Shannon and Kane in their futures
beyond school.
The Geography curriculum has driven the energy
of the IO students in a practical direction. They
have been involved in activities such as the
planting
of
trees
around
the
school,
an
investigation of recycling in the school and local
community, and the installation of two frog
ponds, as part of their cooperation with Junior
Land Care.
The future of our environment is in good hands.

Aboriginal Education
Deadly Dreaming Day
In August Belmont High School invited local students,
parents and their families from the Aboriginal community to
a ‘Deadly Dreaming Day’, a great day was had by all.
There was a fantastic performance of traditional and
contemporary Aboriginal Dance by the Millabah Dance
Group from the Hunter School of the Performing Arts.
Teacher Tammy Gordon along with her students sang the
National
Anthem
in
a
traditional
local
language,
performed remarkable dance routines and facilitated
group workshops in dance and music. Tammy then led a
workshop on weaponry and artefacts, “Dreaming Stories”,
language and face painting.
After a busy morning and a BBQ lunch it was off to the library. The
afternoon saw workstations from Awabakal Medical Association
regarding information on diet, dental care, sexual health and
diabetes. These workstations proved extremely popular as did Mr
Robinson’s ‘photo booth’. The afternoon session was also a time
for a focus on yarning. Individuals and families related their
stories to staff who recorded them for posterity.
A big thank you to Mrs Spruce and the Aboriginal Education
Committee for organising the day. Thanks also to Tammy Gordon
and the Millabah dancers, the Awabakal Medical Association, Mr
Robertson for cooking the BBQ and Mr Robinson for taking photos.
The biggest thanks of all are reserved for the students and
families for participating in the day and sharing their wonderful
stories.
An Aboriginal Merit Assembly will be held in the library on October 26, 2.30pm to 3.15pm. Students
wi ll be recognised for thei r efforts and they always enjoy shari ng their successes wi th family. Please
come along to celebrate this wonderful group of students.

Good Bye and Good Luck Year 12
Well, Year 12 have finished their HSC Music Performance exams (held week 9 term
three) and are about to face the rest of their HSC exams.
Last Wednesday Night the Concert Band and Vocal Ensemble provided fabulous
entertainment at the Year 12 Graduation Ceremony held for the first time in the
Belmont High School Gymnasium. The Concert Band provided the pre-evening
entertainment, Processional and the National Anthem. Mandy Henderson and the Vocal Ensemble
sang “Pie Jesu”, Alexandra Ilievski sang “Boogie Woogi e Bugle Boy” backed by the BHS Stage
Band, and Andrew Evans thrilled the audience with his piece “Quiet Breaker” also accompanied by
the BHS Stage Band. (Please note: during the piece Andrew performed a solo with his eyes closed!)
A huge “Thank You” to ALL the students who gave up their Wednesday evening to perform and
accompany Year 12 on their special night, especially to those beginner students who made their
debut performance with the Concert Band. A big “Thank You” to all the parents who provided the
transportation for their performers on the night.
It is with bittersweet thoughts and memories that we send Year 12 on their way for this year. We
have been so lucky to have worked with them in the Year 12 music class and also in our wonderful
ensembles during their years as musicians at Belmont High.
Our school captain for 2011, Jason Moore, has been a valued member of the Belmont High School
Concert Band and Stage Band from year 7. Thanks Jason for being a dedicated member for the
last 6 years, a great leader in our sax line and an awesome role model for all our band members.
Good luck sailing into the future, Jason!
Andrew Evans is also an irreplaceable member of the Concert Band and Stage Band since he was
in Year 7. Andrew has been a student that is “always there” and has provided the driving force
behind both ensembles with his brilliant drum playing. Many of us have had the exquisite pleasure
of witnessing Andrew play blindfolded on a number of occasions during last term in the lead up to
the HSC Music Exams. That in itself is a sight to behold!!! Thanks for your contributions Andrew and
for being a legendary role model to our junior band members. In the words of Buzz Lightyear...”to
infinity and beyond” and stay drumming!
Another huge “Thank you” must go to Mandy Henderson. Mandy has been a valued member of the
Vocal Ensemble (at times having been referred to as THE Vocal Ensemble) and the Concert Band
si nce she was i n year 7. She too has also performed many times wi th the ensembles, i n the school
musical and solos during her time at BHS and could always be counted on to perform the National
Anthem at the shortest of notice. Thank you and Good Luck with your future pursuits as a music
teacher, Mandy!
Other Year 12 students showi ng thei r vocal expertise performing wi th the Vocal Ensemble and wi th
the Stage Band during their time at BHS, have been Jayra Drummond and Alexandra Ilievski who
hav e been known to si ng “Mustang Sally” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” anyti me, anywhere. We
wish both girls all the best and hope they continue to sing.
At various other occasions during their time at BHS our concert band has also provided a
performance opportunity for Lauren Swan, Josh Chapman and Nathan Wennerbom. To the rest of
the Year 12 Music Class, Leslie Austin, Nathan Butcher and Braden Lehman (who left throughout the
year) good luck. As the famous song says “So long, Farewell, Auf Weidersein, Goodbye” and all the
very best in your future endeavours in the big wide world.
Our Year 12 Band/Vocal Members will be sorely missed by everyone involved in these ensembles.
We love you guys!!!
BHS Koalas Visit Moree
The Belmont High Members of the Marching Koalas visited
Moree during the first weekend of the holidays. They
performed up and down the main street leading the parade
at the Golden Grain and Cotton Festival and at a Fun Run the
following day. Students experienced fine food (Provided by
Moree Lions Club) and accommodation at the Moree Racing
Club (the biggest crowd they’d ever had in their grandstand
at one time). They also visited to the famous Hot Spring Spa
Pools and a Cotton Gin where they were personally taken
through the workings of the Gin (short for Engine) and how
cotton is made. A very educational and fulfilling trip was had
by all. Well done Belmont Koalas!

Year 9 Child Studies
Last term Year 9 Child Studies went on an excursion to the Birthing Suites at Belmont Hospital. This
was v ery informative and a valuable experi ence for the students. Thank you to the Midwives at
Belmont Hospi tal for allowi ng us to visit and shari ng their experti se wi th us.
Year 9 are currently being assessed on their bathing techniques of an infant. The students are
required to simulate bathing using a baby bath and a doll. They all deserve credit as they are
performing well and taking the task seriously, showing their maturity. Well done girls!
Year 10 Child Studies
The students organised a “Teddy Bears Picnic” the last week of term three, as part of their unit of
work, “Play and Development”. The students “re-lived” their early childhood and participated in
some fun games. They each brought some food suitable for a young child and thei r favourite teddy
bear. It was a great experience and lots of fun for the students.

Dramaworks 2011 Workshops & Showcase
Drama Ensemble “Little Horrors” represented Belmont HS in Melbourne CBD for Melbourne Fringe
Festival Crowdplay Performance!
On September 21 thirteen students from Years 8-11 accompanied by Mrs. Bergér, Mr.Lambkin and
Ms Skippen travelled to Melbourne where we took part in the Public Crowd Play Performance
devised by the festival’s new creative producer, Neal Harvey.
Where doomsayers once predicted that the internet would lead to the fragmentation of real social
relationships, Crowd Play is one of a growing number of indicators that the opposite is possible —
as participants we used online resources such as Youtube to rehearse our routines, Facebook to
communicate details and student notices to communicate our meetings.
Wi th nods to the flashmobs that emerged as a result of soci al media in the early 2000’s, as well as
the more timeless pop-cultural dream of people spontaneously performing in the street,
Page 8

Crowd Play aims to surprise people when they’re going about
their business. We performed our routine in the middle of the
Flagstaff Gardens of Melbourne’s CBD to News and Media,
constructions crews, puzzled park-goers and pleasantly
surprised
lunchtime

who
enjoyed
the
surprise
performance.
Whi l e i n Mel bourne, students attended the A CMI (A ustrali an
Centre for Moving Image) where they had the opportunity to
be the star of a MATRIX filmed sequence shot matrix-style at
360 degrees, and host their very own ‘At the Movies’ segment
alongside Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton.
Our evenings were filled with four theatre performances
ranging in dramatic conventions including: Absurdist Theatre,
Comedy, Installation Art Theatre and Stand-up clowning!
My thanks to the students who at all times behaved generously with one and all, the teachers - Mr
Lambkin and Mrs Harvey for their support of this drama initiative, the clerical staff for their
organisation and for one particular parent Ms Catherine Skippen for her additional supervision and
outstanding navigation skills!
We aim to make this an annual opportunity for Drama Ensemble students in the future and, for
those parents available, will be featuring a short (8min) film of our Melbourne Performance at
Wednesday’s morning assembly featuring our lovely “Little Horrors”.

Belmont High has been successful in gaining the delivery of the SES Cadet Program for Year 10
students. The program is a hands on, very intense 5 day course which students should find very
rewarding and challenging. The program will run in Week 8 Term 4 2011. Students can opt to
complete this course instead of participating in one week of work experience.
The program aims to:

Provide Interesting and challenging experiences to encourage the development of positive
personal and team attributes.

Encourage the achievement of successful life skills with a spirit of service through commitment
within the local community

Provide an understanding of the NSW Sate Emergency Services and other Emergency Services.

Chaplains Chat The American country-and-western singer Glen Campbell penned a song back in 1970 called “Try A
Little Kindness”. The lyrics stated “And the kindness that you show every day will help someone
along their way”. A former acquaintance once remarked upon her personal motto – to be kinder
than necessary for everyone is fighting some kind of battle. I used to think that wealthy people
were immune to this because money can buy your way out of trouble though I’m not so convinced
of that line of thinking nowadays.
This month there is a national focus upon Mental Health and as of next week 105 year 12 students
at Belmont High will be putting their mental (and emotional!) capacities to the test – namely the
HSC exam. The kindness showed by Suzanne Graham, giving up her time and sharing her wisdom at
the graduation ceremony, will hopefully provide inspiration and encouragement over the next few
weeks and months as these young people enter the next chapter of their lives.
One of the privileges of being part of a school community is being involved in acts of kindness,
and stories of relationships between peers and teachers founded upon education and learning
were celebrated at the ceremony.
By participating in others’ lives and doing small acts of kindness in the wider community we can all
be a part of helping someone along their way and perhaps offer hope amidst the daily battles that
are part and parcel of our everyday lives.

Grandparents as Parents invited to
meet weekly.
This support group began in August,
at Belmont Anglican church hall. At
least two volunteers from the
church, trained and supported by
Samaritans Newcastle, attend each
session (Mondays 12:30-2pm during
school terms).
All grandparents acting as parents
are welcome to share a cuppa and
relax.
Contact Sue Gerard or Fr. Daniel at
Belmont Anglican Church (4945
9993).
Hunter Region GAPS in the NEWS is a
newsletter for grandparents and
kinship carers distributed every two
months by Judy Turner @
Charlestown and Karen Lizosoain @
Samaritans. It helps in linking groups
to services.

HOST AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AND LEARN
ABOUT YOUR SELF!
19th
As Marcel Proust, a late
century novelist, wrote:
“the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking
new landscapes but in having new eyes”. Host an
international high school student in February 2012
through Southern Cross Cultural Exchange and prepare
to be amazed at the way this unique opportunity helps
your family to become closer, to understand
themselves better and to see the world in a new light.
Carefully selected students will arrive in February for
one or two semesters from France, Germany, Italy,
Austria, Japan, the U.S.A. and Canada. They will live as
a local, attend a local secondary school, are fully
insured and have their own spending money.
Call S.C.C.E now on 1800 500 501, email
[email protected]
or
visit
our
website
(www.scce.com.au) to be part of this rewarding
experience. Request our booklet of student profiles,
and capture the spirit of family and friendship.

A recent national survey of more than 1,250 parents of Learner
drivers found that almost half (45.5%) were nervous or apprehensive
when they began teaching their teen how to drive.
keys2drive is a federally funded program that has been developed
by the Australian Automobile Association which aims to take the
drama out of learning to drive. It helps parents to prepare for their
role as a supervising driver and to ensure that any time spent in the
car with their Learner is successful and effective.
keys2drive is a free lesson (involving theory and on-road) delivered
by an accredited professional driving instru//ctor to any Learner
who is accompanied by their supervising driver – most often a
parent.
This program, the single largest Learner driver safety program
undertaken in Australia, represents a unique and valuable
experience for parents and their Learner drivers.
