Student Services - C3
The Student Services department is housed in C3 (with the green door), where Mrs Kaye HOYES is available to
process all of your student’s queries. Students are required to go to C3 for all of their queries/questions and
not to the administration office.
All students who are late or leaving school early MUST have either a note from their parent/guardian OR have
their parent/guardian phone Kaye on 4120 8430 advising her of their student’s lateness or reason for their
early departure. Also, students can now get their uniform passes from Student Services, and again, students
must have either a note from their parent/guardian or their parent/guardian has phoned Kaye with a reason
for not being in the correct school uniform. If a student does not have a note or Kaye has not received a phone
call from the student’s parent/guardian, they will be issued with a detention to be completed in a Recess at C4.
Also a reminder that ALL parent contact with the school is still required to occur at the Main Office.
Parents are not to go to Student Services in C3.
The contact number for Kaye in Student Services is:
4120 8430
You can also email Kaye at:

Senior Schooling Report
STUDENT FEEDBACK
Students have provided great feedback for us on
areas that have been concerns for our school. This
has included:
 Suggestions to create senior only toilet facilities
resulting in the annexing of the K Block facilities
for senior students only.
 Ongoing advice on a new senior polo
 Strategies to assist students to engage better with
school.
a) USC
b) USQ
c) UNE
4. 60 Students completing certificate II qualifications
with TAFE.
5. Investigating a range of Certificate III programs for
offer in 2016.
STUDENT SUPPORT
Senior students have had the opportunity to engage
with a number of activities to assist them in their
transition to life after school. These have included:
 Change makers at USQ for our Year 11 leaders
 Health Heroes at USC at Sippy Downs
 RYDA driver training for Year 11 students
 University roadshow to allow students to explore
university options
STUDENT PATHWAYS
Over the past term we have been working on
improving the pathways for our senior students. To
date this includes:
1. 5 Students being selected to participate in GenR8.
Through this program students complete a
Certificate II in logistics.
2. Negotiated Headstart program with University of JACKSON DODD
Sunshine Coast (USC) allowing students to Deputy Principal
complete a Uni subject and get early entry to Uni.
3. Guaranteed Early offer programs allowing
students to be offered a place at university
without an OP with:
GET A HEADSTART FOR UNI!!
Year 11 and 12 students are able to access Headstart programs through the
University of Southern Queensland (USQ) in semester 2.
These programs are first year university courses that upon completion give the student
automatic entry into the course.
The first Headstart course is free of charge – this represents a saving of at least $1000.00.
Students wishing to enrol must have a “B” average on their report card.
Over the coming months we will provide more information regarding Headstart programs for Semester 3
(Christmas Holidays) and Semester 1 next year.
There are a number of programs available. Please contact Mr Amarandos (Guidance Officer)
at school to discuss enrolment.
Junior School Report
Congratulations to our wonderful Year 7 students who recently sat the series of NAPLAN tests. All ran
smoothly - it’s surprising what a good sausage sizzle can do to calm exam nerves! Year 7’s will be receiving
assessment in all subject areas at this time of the year. If you are unsure about what your child has due, please
refer to the assessment calendar on our school website. A reminder that our Homework Centre is open in F15
every Recess 1. Students can access this facility for help with any assessment item.
We recognised the achievement of our Year 7 Meritorious recipients at a special parade last Monday.
Congratulations once again to those students who received a Meritorious award and thank you to their parents
for their support and encouragement. We believe that every student is capable of receiving a Meritorious
Award and, with this in mind, look forward to an even greater number of recipients next term.
The first round of Year 7 Student Leaders was announced last week.
Leadership duties will include
Fundraising activities, community service and public speaking roles. Currently, our leaders are commencing a
paper recycling school community initiative that will see scrap paper recycled into notebooks for use around
the school. It is my very special privilege to work with this motivated and inspiring group of young people.
As the cooler weather fast approaches, a reminder please that students are to wear the school uniform jumper.
Please take the time to name
your child’s jumper; we cannot return lost jumpers if they are not named.
Similarly, please name hats clearly. If for some reason, your child cannot wear the jumper (i.e. it is wet) or
any other item of the school uniform on any given day, please provide your child with a brief note explaining
the reason they are wearing a non-uniform item. Students then take this note to Student Services where they
will be issued a uniform pass for that day. Please note, if a note is not provided, the student will receive a
lunchtime detention for being out of uniform. Our firm stand on the wearing of full and correct uniform is one
I am more than happy to discuss with any parent if they feel the need for further elaboration.
As part of the recognition
and celebration of this
being our first cohort of
Year 7’s to join Aldridge,
we have taken a photo to
commemorate
this
occasion. Don’t they look
great!
Thanks to Mr
Hodgo for his camera
skills and patience. This
photo will take pride of
place in our school library.

Exceptions appear to be those students who have are frequently absent. It is vital that
parents encourage their children to be in attendance at school and engaged with the
program which is specifically targeted at their needs. This includes completing the
reading log. Literacy is essential to effective navigation of the world in which we live.
The Aldridge English department regards it as our mission to ensure that all students
are given the opportunity to acquire these skills whilst at school. We ask parents to
support us in the implementation of this program.

HEAD LICE
There are reports of some students in the school having
head lice. Head lice are a very common problem in schools
and institutions everywhere in the world. While they are not
a threat to health and do not transmit disease, they do
cause a lot of distress and anxiety for families and schools.
Anyone can get head lice. They have no preference for
ethnic background, hair colour, hair type or age.
We ask that parents/carers check their children and other family members for head
lice regularly as early detection decreases treatment time and helps break the
breeding cycle; treat if required before returning to school. It is important to keep
checking the hair for 10 days after treatment to ensure the hair is free of head lice.
See the following fact sheet for further information on checking and treatment.

Hello, from the team at Ian Harvey Dental!
We would like to offer our services to help your children keep their teeth and gums healthy. As part of the
government’s Child Dental Benefits Scheme, eligible children aged 2-17 years are entitled to $1000 to cover general
dental care. This includes examinations, x-rays, fillings and extractions or root therapies – all are bulk-billed.
The scheme is income based, and to find out if your family is eligible, you can phone Medicare.
Make sure you protect your teeth when playing sport. A custom-fitted mouthguard is made by your dentist using an
impression taken of your teeth and a plaster model. Custom fitting allows the dentist to accurately assess your mouth
and provide the best fit, size, coverage and thickness in a mouthguard made especially for you. Custom-fitted
mouthguards are comfortable, allow you to talk and have maximum resistance against being dislodged. At Ian Harvey
Dental the dentists can assess your risk and recommend the appropriate mouthguard for you and your sport.
To book your child’s initial examination, please give us a call on (07) 4121 3430.
P.A. SYSTEM USE
Our school has an intercom system
that allows us to contact classes in
emergency situations.
This
convenience has been over utilised
of late, resulting in the undue disruption of classes.
Each time a call is placed over the intercom, the
teacher and the class have to stop work to listen to
the message. With a number of these in a day, the
lost time and disruption has become unacceptable.
I have discussed the matter with our staff and said
that the decision about the use of the school
intercom rests with me, but to be prepared that I
would tend to decline a request to put a message
over the intercom.
Likewise I am seeking the support of parents to
NOT call into the office and expect that a call
would be placed for their student to leave school in
a non-emergency situation. There are alternatives
to this action, including providing your student
with a note for their class teacher, to that they have
ample time to go to C3 and sign out. Please expect
that a request to call a student down to the office
may well be referred to me for a decision and that
my primary concern beyond the safety of the
students would be to minimise the disruption to
their learning in class.
JACKSON DODD
Deputy Principal
All Australian Governments have agreed to work together on the annual collection of data on school
students with disability.
The collection of this data will assist teachers, Principals and education authorities support the
participation of students with disability in schooling on the same basis as students without disability.
In 2015, the full national collection of data on school students with disability is required in all Australian
Schools.
This new national data collection reinforces the actions required of schools under the national
Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005.
In future years, the collection will require individual student information and information will be
forwarded to parents at that time to allow them to make an informed choice about whether they want
their child’s information to be included or not in the national reporting activity.
Further information and a fact sheet for parent/careers is available from the Department’s website:

Get a Head Start to Uni at Maryborough
If you are a high-achieving Year 11 or 12 student who has the capability,
maturity and motivation to undertake university study while still finishing
high school, then our Head Start program may be for you.
USQHub@Maryborough is providing two Head Start courses for delivery in S2 2015. These fee
free courses are offered as an exclusive delivery to high school students and successful
completion guarantees you entry into a related USQ program. Not only will you get to
experience what it is like to study at USQ, but you will receive academic credit towards a USQ
degree so you will have one less course to complete once you start uni with us. You will also
receive two points toward your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).
What can you study?
CMS1000 Communication and Scholarship
Communication is important in every aspect of work, study and life in general. This course
develops an understanding of barriers to communication and how to overcome these.
Successful completion of this course provides guaranteed entry into a number of USQ
programs.
NUR1200 Concepts in Patient Care
Patient care is the focus of any career in nursing. This course looks at the nurse’s role in
providing holistic care to patients with assessment and proposed interventions integral to the
patient experience and outcome. Successful completion of this course provides guaranteed
entry into a USQ Nursing degree.
Visit: usq.edu.au/maryborough OR call 1800 269 500 for further details.
