Gym in 2002
Gym in 2015
Granville South Creative and
Performing Arts High School
Celebrates 50 YEARS!
The Gymnasium and Fitness room was first opened in
2002 to increase the range of sport options available
for students. The Gym was then refurbished and
reopened in 2015 and now houses commercial
strength gym equipment.
The final touches are being made to the 50th
Anniversary celebrations. During this term we have
welcomed during Monday assemblies, former
students as guest speakers to talk about their time at
the school. There has also a slide show about the
history of the school, shown in decades, and
performances by the CAPA ensemble.
This will be the last 50th Anniversary article as all the
events will be completed before the next newsletter
so we are going to cover all the important points from
1991 to 2015.
The Support Unit, which is an important part of the
school, was established in 1993. The teachers and
school learning support officers’ (SLSO’s) support and
encourage students in this stream to complete their
education and learn valuable life skills.
The garden, located next to the hall, was opened in
2002 as a Community Garden. The Honourable Laurie
Ferguson attended to mark this occasion. Mr John
Koch as well as 12 other volunteers from the
community and Granville South High School Students
maintained the garden growing fruits, vegetables and
flowers. Our school also received a grant from the
Australia’s Open Garden Scheme to help fund the
start-up of the garden and we were presented with a
plaque to recognise this which is displayed in the
garden.
30th Anniversary Celebrations
The last anniversary the school celebrated was the
30th in 1996 with a reunion in the school hall.

The Football United program also helped to bring star
Monique Coleman (American actress famous for
staring in Disney’s ‘High School Musical’) to visit the
school in 2011 and run a few programs. She spoke
about her life experiences, her role as the United
Nations Youth Ambassador, her Anti-bullying
campaign and issues that affect youth.
Mural
in 2002
The wall opposite the canteen in the Quad has had a
few murals displayed over the years. The first one was
in 2002 and featured the motto “Rights,
Responsibilities, Respect”. Another mural was finished
in 2010 and celebrated Australia and its heritage.
Students with Monique Coleman
After being selected to become a partially selective
school in 2010, Granville South High School became
Granville South Creative and Performing Arts High
School in 2012. This allows the school to focus on
selected students wishing to enter the CAPA stream.
Mural in 2010
Football United helped introduce an initiative to our
school with the aim of uniting people of all cultures
through soccer. Starting in 2009 they began by
training a group of Year 10 and 11 students to become
qualified coaches who were then given the
responsibility of coaching the Year 7 students once a
week. Football United also organised for our talented
soccer players to train with highly experienced
coaches.
Three players from The British and Irish Lions Rugby
Union team visited the school in 2013 with their
management team to share football tips and their
experiences to staff and students. The team only
travels to Australia once every 12 years to play against
the Wallabies so it was a real privilege to have them at
our school.

The official opening of the Dance Studio occurred on
Friday 22nd March 2013; this area now allows students
to safely and effectively practise their skills.
As you can see our school has been very busy over the
past 50 years and will continue to be busy for many
more and continue to provide for students with
quality education and various opportunities.
The Helmsman Project is a program that assists young
people to think outside their comfort zone and
understand more about themselves. During 2014 a
group of students were chosen and these students
went sailing for 5 days on the tall ship ‘James Craig’,
which is a 140 year old ship that used to carry cargo
but is now a Sydney Heritage Ship.

ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
The Granville South Creative & Performing Arts
High School athletics carnival was held in week 6
of this term at Auburn Athletics Field. After some
concerns that the carnival would be rained out,
we were lucky enough to have the sun out on the
day, and by all accounts the carnival was a big
success. Student attendance and participation
was up on the day, which has been a pleasing
trend at all carnivals this year and it is great to see
the school spirit and enthusiasm displayed by all
our students.
Congratulations to the Red House, who won the
day on 626 points, with Green trailing behind by
only 2 points.
A big congratulations to all the students who
made the Granville South Creative and Performing
Arts High School zone athletics team. These

Drama Ensemble
During the Pacific Test Match Double Header at Pirtek
Stadium, Josefa & Iasinita were 2 of 24 Summit youth
selected with the opportunity and honour to be flag
bearers for their respective Pacific Teams.
The NRL Pacific Youth team, volunteers and guest
presenters cannot speak highly enough of all the
youth including all six (6) Granville South Creative &
Performing Arts High School students.
Earlier in Term 2, students from the Drama Ensemble,
as well as students from the HSC Drama and English
classes, attend the Casula Powerhouse to see
Liverpool Performing Arts Ensemble's production of
"AWAY" by Michael Gow. Mr Woollams directed and
starred in the performance which enabled many
students from various schools to engage with live
theatre and the play in it's intended form. Ms
Cameron and Ms Kidd attended the excursion with
the students and were incredibly impressed by the
work of the Entertainment students who were
completing work placement at the venue and working
on the show. The entertainment students had the
opportunity to see and work on a professional
production.

Mural Update
It’s been a great term making the mural and
the contributions from staff and students
have been invaluable. From the Executive to
Support staff and students, and a super big
hand from the PDHPE faculty and Art
Ensemble we have advanced forward to have
some impressive ceramic pieces which are
quintessential to the design. Once again we
are very grateful for these positive
community contributions.

Audition Successes
Our CAPA Ensemble classes have been working
tirelessly during class and extended rehearsals to
prepare a range of audition pieces for the 2016
festival season. It is with great joy that we’d like to
congratulate our Drama Ensemble on their successful
completion of an audition that will see them perform
at Sydney’s Seymour Centre later this year. Audition
success has been widespread in our Ensembles as our
Circus, Dance, and Music Ensembles were also
successful in their audition of “You Can’t Stop the
Beat” for this year’s “Showtime” themed Our
Spectacular performance at the Opera House! Parents
will be informed of ticketing information for both of
these productions as each event nears. A big
congratulations to all of our Ensemble teachers for
leading their ensembles to reach these successes.
50th Anniversary Celebrations
The CAPA faculty have been at the forefront of the
50th Anniversary celebrations that have already begun
here at Granville South CAPA HS. Our CAPA Ensemble
classes have enjoyed looking back at the CAPA world
from the last 50 years and have enjoyed reworking
pieces to make them their own. Already we have seen
our Year 11 Music class perform Outkast’s 2002 hit
song “Hey Ya” and our Year 8 Visual Arts classes
produce work inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. We look
forward to seeing the items students are preparing for
future 50th Anniversary assemblies.
A big part of our 50th Anniversary celebrations was the
writing and recording of our new School Songs with
the team over at Granville Youth and Community
Centre. Over 5 Friday morning sessions, our Year 11
Music class workshopped and refined their ideas in
order to produce the recordings. The class were then
accompanied by our Music Ensemble choir as the
songs were unveiled with a live performance at our
first 50th Anniversary assembly back in Week 5. In
Week 6’s Anniversary assembly, we then unveiled our
video clips to accompany both the Official School Song
and the Hip Hop Remix of the school song. Both
videos are now available to view via YouTube and our
school’s Facebook Page so check it out!
The Visual Arts Ensemble, under the guidance of Ms
Wright and Ms O’Keefe, have progressed
outstandingly with their design and construction of
the 50th Anniversary mural that will be hung in A
Block. The mural itself will be unveiled during our
Education Week celebrations in Week 3, Term 3. We’d
also like to thank those teachers who have added a
special design feature to this project!
CAPA Subject Selections
As a final note, Year 8 and 10 students are reminded
that the process of subject selections will begin early
in Term 3. With a range of subjects available for
selection in the CAPA faculty, students are strongly
encouraged to start considering their choices early
and to speak with CAPA teachers about their options.
Students must consider their Semester One report
card and results to see if the choice of one or more
elective CAPA subjects is right for them. Making
informed subject choices is often the first step
towards success in senior study years.

faculty make sure you “like” and follow the GSCAPAHS

SCHOOL EVENTS
HELMSMAN PROJECT
The Helmsman Project- The inspiring story of
Emma Roulston...
SALSA PROGRAM
Granville South Creative & Performing Arts High
School was featured in the Auburn Review this term
with an article on the school's participation in the
SALSA program.
Special thanks to Ms Orton, the teacher who ran the
program in the school, and Blacktown Medical
Practitioners Association for their donation of $200
towards a nominated program.
Many inspiring stories come to life through The
Helmsman Project. One of these, is Emma Roulston's...
“I was uncertain about joining The Helmsman Project,”
Emma shared with us. “It seemed a bit scary. But looking
back, I can say words like ‘extraordinary’, ‘amazing’ and
‘incredible’ just don’t cut it – there are no words to describe
how I feel about The Helmsman Project.”
Emma joined our program as a Year 9 student from Western
Sydney. Before The Helmsman Project, Emma would only
work in a team if she was in charge and, in her own words,
she was even at times rude to others. But through coaching
and supporting her to develop self-regulation and social
skills, she increased her awareness of herself, her
behaviours and the impact on others.
Like many of our graduates, a change in perspective
boosted Emma’s confidence and her view of what she is
capable of doing in the future.
“Before The Helmsman Project, I didn’t feel comfortable
speaking in a group of more than five people. It was my goal
to improve my confidence and my coach played a massive
role in this. At my graduation I spoke to a group of nearly 100
people!”
“If someone is going through a bad time and goes on
The Helmsman Project, I can guarantee they will come
out of it feeling so much better. The support given by
everyone in this strange, scary environment is so important. I
am now more willing to try new things and better equipped to
overcome my fears.”
Emma’s story is beautiful and humbling … It is journeys like
these that inspire us, at The Helmsman Project, to keep
making a difference. If Emma’s story inspires you too, you
can help bring our life-changing program to more deserving
young Aussies, just like Emma, by visiting
http://thehelmsmanproject.org.au/ and donating today.
The Helmsman Project believes that every young person
should be supported to fulfil their potential and contribute
to the creation of flourishing communities.
