December 2015 Week 51 - Elizabeth Macarthur High School
Elizabeth Macarthur High School Issue 8—December 2015 Respect, Responsibility, Pride Outstanding HSC results this year: This year our Year 12 students achieved 34 Band 6s and 91Band 5s. This is an incredible achievement for our school. Many of our Year 12 students had already gained early entry into university but these results show that the universities were lucky to grab them early before the results came in. Special congratulations to our school captain Elyse Strahan who got an ATAR of 96.8 with 6 Band 6s. One for every subject she studied. These results also put us over state average in our overall HSC results. Congratulations Year 12 on a wonderful result and we wish you every success in your future endeavours. As the 2015 school year draws to a close, can I thank all the parents for their continued support of our school. We have had a wonderful sports presentation night where over 200 people attended to celebrate the achievements of our sports men and woman. They are so talented that we also won 3 Blues Awards this year. We also had a very impressive presentation day where over 200 students were awarded with an achievement award for academics and citizenship. This year our Year 6 into 7 Orientation Day was highly successful and both the 350 year 5 students and 200 year 6 students from local feeder primary schools had a wonderful day and spoke highly of the day. All of this has been ably led by our wonderful student leadership team, pictured. Captains: Nicholas Leech and Emma Moore Vice captains – Joshua Costlow and Antonia Cucek Senior Prefects- Jarryd Guy and Dokata Simonds. Wishing you all a very happy and safe Christmas and we will see Years 7,11, 12 back on January 28th and Years 8,9,10 back on January 29th. The uniform shop will be open the week before we come back to school every day to assist with uniform purchases. You can also purchase on line through our website.

From the Office Nova Employment Awards—2015 It has been a very busy year no different to any other year but I think the years are flying faster. In the last few weeks we have had Yr. 6 into 7 Orientation and Presentation Day I wish to thank all the SASS for their commitment to ensure these events ran effortless. We sadly say farewell to Mrs Gammage, Mrs Putvinas and Mrs Browne, SAS staff members that are entering into a new phase in their life’s ‘Retirement” - we wish them well. This has been my first full year here at EMHS it has been a learning curve for me as most of my time with the Department has been in Primary Schools. I can say I have enjoyed this challenge. We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas, and a safe & happy new year.

They made Spanish Style Albondigas (Meat balls) and had these with Mexican style corn chips. The students took turns in the cooking process and each had a go at participating in every stage of making the meat balls. They behaved really well and were really engaged with the whole cooking experience. The day was highly successful and the Chef was really pleased at how our students worked together. This was a great and new way of cooking within the school and everyone involved had a fantastic time. Well done to the year 7 Spanish students who participated in this innovative and exciting experience. Feliz Navidad!
