Families were entertained by our talented and enthusiastic Music students and were given a sneak preview of the 2010 Art Exhibition featuring an eclectic range of highly professional pieces by students from Year 7 to 12. Thank you to the many student and parent helpers, and to the School Council members who also attended to welcome our new families. The official opening is tonight beginning at 5.30pm. Featuring artworks from subjects Art, Ceramics, Mosaics, Digital Art, Jewellery, Textiles, Technology Wood and Photography, the 2010 Art Exhibition is an impressive tribute to the creativity and artistic ambition of our students and their very dedicated teachers, several of whom are currently involved in VCAA exam marking. If you are free this evening, I highly commend the exhibition to you. compulsory VCE Orientation Program serves a number of functions. For most students, it gives a confidence building overview of the subject and provides a helpful head start on Unit 1( Year11 ) or Unit (Year 12) work. For a few students, it enables them to realise that the subject they have chosen is not what they expected and that they wish to reselect. Teachers have put a great deal of time and thought into preparation of lessons and materials to ensure a strong and positive early start for our students. Vivienne Tellefson Principal Year 10 Big Day Out, Brimbank Park On Thursday the 11th of November, the year ten students went out on a “Big Day Out”. We Big Day Out travelled by Just one of the many artworks on show at the bus to Keilor, 2010 Art Exhibition where we split up into groups and participated in a wide range of activities. We were given the opportunity to have this day because, as a year level, we were able to The welcoming of our future Year 7 students coincides with the final days of exams for our Year 12 students. I work hard and improve on our work practices. The overall aim of the day was to have fun and to build up would like to acknowledge the serious and focussed our team work skills and to interact with people we way in which our Year 12 students have conducted may not have known .The first group activity we did themselves throughout the exam period. Today’s College News lists all the students who received subject was orienteering. We had to find all thirty clips that were spread over the course of the park as quickly as and school service awards at the Year 12 Graduation last month. Three of the Year 12 awards have a special possible. After this we went from eating flour and finding smarties to throwing eggs at each other, in the significance . The library award is in memory of our hope that our partner was competent enough to catch greatly missed friend and long serving staff member, Wendy McLean. In 2010, it is awarded to Dung Nguyen it without it breaking! I think that one of the highlights of the day for me was throwing eggs around and for his/her unwavering focus in private study watching other people drop them on themselves or throughout all of year 12. The recipient of the throw them too hard and seeing their partner get hit by Contribution to Music (Singing) award is Jessica them. I think the day was a great success and I think Trevena. We know that Genny Rogers, the Voice that everyone who participated had a great time with Teacher to whom this award is dedicated, would have their friends outside the classroom. Thanks to Ms Wood been immensely happy to know this. Genny was Jess’ and all the teachers who helped organise the day. teacher, mentor and inspiration until her sudden death from cancer this time last year. Genny’s influence in the Jack Nott, 10W school lives on through the beautiful singing of her students and fond memories of her colleagues. The third special award is in memory of Glenn Bourke; past student, devoted performer and great team player. We know that Glenn would be incredibly happy that it was awarded to Jack Anderson with whom he performed in several Rock Eisteddfods and who like Glenn is generous in his time, effort and commitment to other performers. While the outgoing Year 12, new Year 7 changeover is a familiar cycle, each year we are surprised by how quickly the end of year has arrived and the need to shift our energies and efforts to the following year while ensuring a strong learning focus until the end of the year. Students in Year 10 and Year 11 have been given their VCE Orientation program details today. The MUSIC NEWS Year 8 Textiles Semester 2 Concerts In Year 8 Textiles we have been making calico bags or pillows. My bag has a patchwork heart design.

Help us achieve the target of 500 bikes by donating today. For more info please visit: www.bikes4life.com.au Alenson creative designs Project Overview – Uganda At Bikes 4 Life we are trying to raise as many bicycles as we can to send to the most isolated, vulnerable and war-ravaged districts in Northern Uganda (Gulu, Pader and Kitgum) who have been affected by a brutal 22 year long war and neglected by the outside world. The people that live in these districts are largely displaced and are subject to extreme poverty, mental illness, disease, famine and political instability. From the camps basic health care, education, food and water is largely inaccessible. However with bicycles as a mode of transport, civilians will have an increased chance at surviving…. accessing food, water, hospitals and eventually recovering from the war. Through bicycles we aim to create transport, which will allow vital access to and from the remote locations of the camps, to make basic needs such as water, food, medical assistance and schools accessible. We are trying to help revive a neglected people, promoting community outreach and peace building. Bicycles and the ease of transport to locations they provide have the potential to save the lives of men, women and children that are dying every day due to preventable diseases. Bicycles are also beneficial in terms of the economic recovery, aiding in areas such as agriculture. By helping the people of the North move forward in the post-war period, we hope to also promote peace and recovery, while helping to strengthen community relationships, values and structures.
