PRINCESS CHARLOTTE ALOPECIA PROGRAM BEFORE AFTER Lambton Short-Takes A welcoming school leading in excellence, innovation and opportunity Lambton High School T(02)49523977 F(02)49562429 E:[email protected] I would like to acknowledge Ida Topic for taking the pledge to donate her hair to the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Program that provides wigs for children unable to grow their own hair and also raise funds to go towards making and purchasing of the wigs. the prosecution in a case involving the sale of a car and a verbal contract. The competition was extremely close with only 10 points, out of a potential 300, separating Lambton High School from HSPA. https://alopecia.everydayhero.com/au/shave-for-a-smile It is a brave thing to do and Ida raised over $800 for this worthy cause. More information about the program can be found at: https://www.variety.org.au/How-we-help/Varietycaring/Princess-Charlotte-Alopecia-Program/ MODEL UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY (MUNA) Lachlan Bray and Toby Schmieden did a fantastic job as barristers, supported by their solicitor Angela Domingues. Ruby Maughan and Jackson Price spoke confidently as witnesses and maintained their composure under the pressure of cross-examination. Brodie McNaughton effectively maintained court order as court officer. The group has shown excellent team work skills and have enjoyed the challenge of putting their legal knowledge into practice. Maya Al Maraee and Ruby Maughan (Year 11) proudly represented Lambton High School as Iraq at MUNA last weekend. The event was again a huge success with 18 teams from 13 schools debating resolutions that had been framed on current world events, replicating the General Assembly of the United Nations. In preparation for the event, Maya and Ruby were required to research the history of Iraq and anticipate how Iraq would vote on 16 resolutions, such as the rights of indigenous peoples and the situation of human rights in the Syrian Arab Republic. Ruby and Maya looked stunning in traditional Iraqi attire and spoke confidently and diplomatically as they voted on the various resolutions. Lambton High School was able to attend due to the generous sponsorship of the Newcastle Sunrise Rotary Club. The special efforts of the Rotary Club of Muswellbrook in the organisation of the venue, the MUNA dinner on Friday 20 May and the luncheon on MUNA day were greatly appreciated by all.

This ranges from study guides and templates through to tutorial and lectures both at school and the University of Newcastle. The school also provides for teaching staff to be available in the Senior Study who specialise in supporting individual HSC students. The information distributed to students is available on the school Moodle course "Senior Study Years 10, 11, 12". It is also attached to a daily notice for Monday 30 May. Tutorials that are held at school are voluntarily conducted by our teachers and are free of charge to students. Lectures at the University of Newcastle are conducted by an external organisation. The school has negotiated a special discount rate for students attending these lectures of $20 per session provided students pay at school by Friday 10 June (end of Week 7). Payment slips are available in the Senior Study. YEAR 10-11 SUBJECTSELECTION FOR 2017 Students in Year 10 were provided with Subject Selection Booklets providing information on the HSC and courses available at Lambton High School this past week. All parents and caregivers of Year 10 students are invited to attend an information evening in the MPC on Wednesday 15 June 2016 commencing at 6.00 pm. The meeting is to provide information on the Preliminary HSC (Year 11) and the HSC (Year 12). Students will be asked to elect their patterns of study by 21 June 2016 so this is an important opportunity for you to review and clarify information on patterns of study and the requirements and procedures of the HSC. To further support your student in making appropriate decisions about their senior education a meeting will be scheduled with a Head Teacher for you and your student on Tuesday 21 June during school hours. Digital copies of the booklet are available on the Moodle course "Senior Study Years 10, 11, 12". The Certificate for Self Employed People will no longer be valid after their expiry date and the certificate holders will need to apply for a new Working With Children Check. Parents or carers should ask their child’s tutor or coach for their name, date of birth and their Working With Children Check number. They must then go online and verify the tutor or coach is not barred from working with children in NSW. Verifying that a tutor or coach can work with children is quick and easy. Just follow the simple steps at: www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/parentscheckthecheck If you suspect that an adult is providing services to children without a Working With Children Check you can go online to make a confidential report or phone (02) 9286 7219.
