OBI RUN Here's looking at 2014 A big welcome to our first electronic edition. Enjoy the numerous colour pages of photos, our stories and re-live the events of our great carnivals. A big 'thank you' must go to all those who contributed. 'Obi Run' would not survive without your tremendous input. As we draw closer to the end of the year, we hope the year 12s will reflect on a great year that was. We wish them well.

Thankfully, through medication, physiotherapy, speech therapy and a change in diet, I have been able to stabilise my condition. I am absolutely convinced that the positive thoughts and well wishes from the school community were catalysts for the improvement in my health. I take this opportunity to thank Mr Wilkinson and Mr Fitton for the work they did as Acting Principals during my absence. I love being the Principal of Maleny State High School so I am so pleased to be well enough to return to work. To the Senior Class of 2014, all the best for your life after school. Over the past five years I have watched this group grow up to be an amazing group of people. I look forward to some outstanding results at the end of 2014. I also look forward to following their progress after school. Congratulations to all those involved in producing this year’s school magazine. Like the "Obi Runs" of the past, this year’s edition captures the history and the memories of the 2014 school year. Well done to all involved. DEPUTY PRINCIPAL REPORT: Ian Fitton What an incredibly busy year it’s been and suddenly it’s drawing to a close with exams imminent and graduation processes for our seniors on the horizon. With Mr King’s absence in the latter part of the year, it brings to mind a personal, renewed focus on the important things in life. Only today, with Mr King’s return and big Brock Giblin’s first day back after his amazing recovery from his car crash, it is wonderful to see two of our champions back with us. Every single day we’re given in this life should be cherished and enjoyed to the max. It probably seems a little strange to our Year 12s too, at present. There are only a few short weeks till exams. All that striving for the best possible marks and that precious piece of paper, to open many new doors to the future. But remember, it is just a piece of paper. For example, those of you who are headed off to university with an OP, it’s taken 12 years of striving to get there and suddenly your first results at uni will override your OP. All of your energies will have to be invigorated all over again to get the best results you can, on that next bit of paper, four or five years down the track. So what do we learn from this? Every day is still very precious. Enjoy each of them to the fullest but make sure each of them counts; and love your family and friends because you just can’t predict what’s around the corner. 4 This year has been a very enjoyable and sometimes challenging year as my role changed half way-through the year. I was enthusiastic to step up into the Acting Principal role in support of a close colleague. It brought with it a number of challenges and highlights that made me understand more fully the diverse role that a Principal faces on a day-to-day basis. I hope that during that time I was able to bring some stability to the school community, while looking forward to the challenges to be faced in 2015. This brings with it some big changes in education, especially in the Junior Secondary area, with the school welcoming two new cohorts in 2015, having year 7s for the first time in a High School setting. Along with the Acting Principal role I still had time to enjoy the normal events that the school is proud to offer, one being the Sakura City Ujiie Junior High School visit. This year commemorated ten years of this wonderful connection with our Japanese friends. It also marked the start of our school visits to Japan with a group of students travelling there during the September holidays. Ably coordinated by Su Carbery and assisted by Chappy, the students enjoyed a wonderful cultural exchange, which we hope to continue for many years to come. As well, I thoroughly enjoyed this year’s ski trip to Perisher, coordinated by Nat Hyde, where we were met with excellent skiing conditions. Sadly on our trip home we learnt of Brock Giblin’s racing car accident, however I’m pleased to say that the school came together as one to support Brock and his family in the typical “Maleny Way” and just recently he has returned to school to continue his senior studies. Working this year with Year 10s and 11s and two hard-working Year Level Coordinators in Nat Hyde and Darren Mills, I was very pleased with the progress and maturity shown by both groups with some outstanding efforts and results achieved. Brian King Principal Ian Fitton Deputy Principal DEPUTY PRINCIPAL REPORT: Brian Wilkinson As always, we look forward to the challenges ahead for the school and move forward in a positive way to ensure 2015 is the continuation of the wonderful Maleny traditions. I also welcome the introduction of the new school uniform polo shirt to mark the introduction of Year 7s into our school. Thanks for the support and hard work of my work colleagues and I am looking forward to 2015 with great anticipation. Many thanks to Kerry Hindle and Wade Jacobsen for their back-filling roles as acting Deputy Principal during the year. All the very best to the Year 12s as they start their various journeys after Maleny High, and we look forward to hearing of their achievements in years to come. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all. THE GUIDANCE COUNSELLOR: Connie Robins 2014 has been an extremely busy year! Students in Years 9, 10, 11 & 12 have been able to attend a number of various careers & courses-oriented excursions, including Health Heroes, Years 9 & 10 Experience USC Day, Sunshine Coast Careers Expo and experiential days at Nambour General Hospital and the Sunshine Coast Private Hospital. The University Showcase was presented in the Maleny SHS Activity Centre in April for Year 12 students, and the USC also gave a presentation in September to Year 12 uni-bound students. Hopefully, the USC Year 11 Day will be run in 2015. The Indigenous Student Council was also very busy, meeting fortnightly and being involved in a number of activities, including helping to organise and run the Healing Day at the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, attending the Murris Pathway Program, attending the FOGS Indigenous Careers & Employment Expo in September at Suncorp Stadium, and holding a BBQ during Maleny’s cultural activities, cooking & giving out kangaroo meat Kebabs. We were also very fortunate to have Corey Skipper design and paint the wonderful Indigenous mural on the side of the Undercover Area. As always, students’ personal needs are an absolute priority, and I feel fortunate to work with such a supportive school staff. Please remember that each of you should never feel that you need to handle a problem or issue by yourself. Our Student Support Team (Chaplain, School Health Nurse, Guidance Counsellor and Youth Workers) strives to ensure that you feel supported and valued. 5 Admin Officers Jan Brown Greta Kleinhans Karen Price Jenny Thomas Jenny Wilkins Business Services Manager Carol Hart Teacher Aides Di Ballantyne Sangeeta Bonnar Carol Ferriday Kris Fitzgerald Tess McAuley Desley Newsham Sharon O’Farrell Deb Ramsay Chris Rand Barb Ratcliffe Fran Tickle Canteen Convener Sharyn Kennedy Ms L Bundesen Assistant Ms K Lanphier Assistant Technology Maintenance Officer Adam Flack Science Operations Officer Casey Balenzuela School Facilities Officer Wayne Spedding School Grounds Officer Greg Vivash Agriculture Assistant Colin Thompson Cleaning Staff Carol Ferriday Diane Ferriday Mina Ervic Jake Harvey Shirley Walker Annette Lees Heather Stroud 6 Teaching Staff Our Dedicated Staff Heads of Departments Peta Fredericks English/Languages Nev Dance Mathematics (on leave) Sharon Penney Mathematics (acting) Kerry Hindle HPE/Arts Dagmar Ryan Science Mark Camman Social Science Wade Jacobsen Technology Jo Male Special Education Chris Davis Chaplain Jennie Morris School Health Nurse Connie Robins Guidance Counsellor Jasmine Angel Maths Jacquie Biggs Home Economics Brad Boustead SOSE/Modern History Su Carbery Japanese/English Christine Cassidy Technology/Legal Studies Paul Clarke Agriculture/Science/Maths Wendy Dawson English/SOSE/Ancient History Amanda Edwards English/SOSE/Yr 9 Coordinator Cheryl Farley Special Education Elisha Fox Science/SOSE/Yr 12 Coordinator Graeme Glover Maths Cath Gray Dance/Science Jo Henderson English/SOSE/Ancient History Bill Holland Maths Mark Homewood Health and Physical Eduation Andrew Hoschke Maths Natalie Hyde HPE/Yr 11 Coordinator Amanda JacobsenScience Dan Jones Industrial Technology and Design Garry Jones Music Kerry-Anne Jones Art/SOSE Robyn Jones Drama/English/Yr 8 Coordinator Francis Kildey Special Education Simon Kranz Business Education/SOSE/English Sandie Lewis Business Education/Science Helen Lyall Art John Mays Flexi Class Sue McDermott Home Ec/English/Early Childhood Chris McKenzie English Darren Mills Maths/Yr 10 Coordinator Arjan Murdoch Art John O'Connell SOSE/Science Brad Owens Librarian Hilary Pearl Science Matt Perina Ind.

They said it wouldn’t be like this. They had told her it would be safe. ● ● ● ● ● Michelle stared at the gargantuan manor looming out of the darkness. Its bleak exterior produced nothing more than shadows that stretched seamlessly across the unkempt lawn. Cautiously, she edged forward, slicing through each shadow with the blade of her torch. What was she thinking? She couldn’t do this. But she had to do this, she knew that. She needed to become one of them and to do this, she needed to obey. Flitting between the shadows she moved up the driveway; she was cautious despite her certainty that the house was empty. The gravel crunched underneath her as she darted from the safety of the trees towards the threateningly dark porch that led to the front door. She flattened her fragile frame against the wall, preparing herself before she entered the house. They had told her to find a candlestick. She assumed it was going to be easy. The doorknob felt icy as Michelle slowly edged the door open. Her torch illuminated the darkness, but she could make out nothing except for an empty table in the far corner. Confronted by a wall of dust as she stumbled over the threshold, Michelle coughed before she glanced around the room. They had told her it would be empty but she hadn’t expected the hollowness of what was before her. She was standing in a small lobby, with a single staircase running along the left-hand wall. The stairs were cracked; a long line curved through the middle of the banister. Above her hung a chandelier, its foreboding presence accentuated by the bleak charms attached to its base. An icy breeze drifted through a broken window causing the charms to ring, cloaking the silence with an eerie symphony. Slowly snaking its way up her spine, the breeze embraced her, compelling her further inside. Moving from room to room, she examined each surface in her search for the candlestick. She moved swiftly, failing to notice the discolouration of the shadows that stalked her. With each turn, she drew further from her target, moving closer to the rear of the house and the shadows tracking her. As she entered the kitchen, it became clear that finding the candlestick was going to be problematic. Michelle painstakingly moved from one dust-covered drawer to another, from cabinet to cabinet, finding nothing more than antiquated silverware and the occasional spider. Apprehensively, she moved to the far corner, searching one last cupboard before progressing further. As she stretched, reaching for the handle, she saw it. The shadows surrounding her had moved. She spun around, gripping the torch firmly in her hand, and shone the light around each of the walls. There was nothing there. Why should there be? They’d told her it would be alright. They had told her she’d be safe. They had told her she had to do this. With a growing sense of unease, Michelle entered the dining room. She knew this would be her last chance to find the candlestick before she was forced upstairs to search the second floor. Gliding her hand over a large, chipped, wooden table, once again she began her meticulous search. As she examined each article of furniture fruitlessly, her heart began pounding with impending dread at the thought of climbing those stairs. She shone her torch over the predominantly empty bookshelves and picked up the few dusty books on display. Maybe she could just give them these. She needed to get out of there; something wasn’t right. Her torch dimmed as the shadows shrouded the house further, coming closer. Turning, she continued her search, moving towards a fireplace on the far wall. Michelle crouched, her back to the room, as she examined the chimney. Her hand swept desperately over the cool brick walls of its interior. She needed to find that candlestick. After all, it was the only thing they’d told her to get; she had to comply, she must obey. MELL UM The front door slammed, shocking Michelle out of her determined search. With shaking hands, she turned to face the doorway linking the dining room to the lobby. “Craig? Rachel? Is that you? This isn’t funny, guys.” Again the shadows moved closer, causing the torchlight to dim further. She edged forward, attempting to keep the table between her and the doorway. Focusing on the beam of light, she called out once more before advancing. Eyes alert, she moved around the table, holding the books under her arm. She knew she wasn’t going to find the candlestick and she didn’t care; she just wanted to get out of there. Her hands - now sweaty and still shaking - refused to cooperate, and the already fading torchlight bounced from wall to wall. Michelle’s breathing was heavy as she continued to move towards the door and, keeping her back against the wall, she slid into the lobby as something clattered onto the kitchen floor. Her heart raced and the shaking in her hands quickened. She jumped as a floorboard creaked underfoot. Knees weak, she slid to the floor just metres from the door, clutching the books to her chest. She tried to catch her breath and willed herself to be anywhere else. The shadows moved closer still, urging her to stay there, urging her away from the door. She stood shakily, just catching movement out of the corner of her eye. It was in the dining room. MELL UM She moved towards the exit, heart pounding in her ears. Quickly flicking the torch into the dining room, she paused, waiting. Nothing moved. She felt the shadows brush against her legs - they were drawing closer. She turned, forgetting about the rest of the house and the candlestick as she made her final dash for the door. Wrenching the knob, she burst into the freezing night, onto the porch and sprinted down the stairs, her feet landing clumsily on the gravel. She hurtled towards the car, not noticing that it was gone. Faltering, Michelle struck the ground, scraping the side of her leg. She lay frozen, panicking as her cheek grazed the jagged gravel beneath her. Glancing back, she caught the flicker of a candle on the second floor. Without another thought she flew down the driveway, dropping the books behind her. It was only then that she realised they were gone. Only slowing slightly, she continued to the end of the driveway, tears streaming down her face. She screamed. She screamed because they hadn’t warned her. She screamed because it was their fault. She screamed until her lungs could take no more. This is what they wanted. They knew it would be like this. They knew it wouldn’t be safe. Click. Darkness. The shadows encased her. M M U L EL 19 LEADERSHIP CAMP Leadership camp was, without a doubt, the best camp that I have personally ever attended. The camp started with everyone dressing in fluoro colours. This got everyone on board, and created a camp spirit from the very first second - everyone looked stupid together in their dress-ups and nothing unites people like group stupidity. The camp itself was non-stop fun. The days were jam-packed with activities that brought us together as a cohort, and also taught us valuable lessons that we could bring back to school with us. The focus was on house groups and these groups worked together for the whole camp, however this did not detract from the group’s feeling of closeness. At the camp we swam at the lovely beaches of Stradbroke Island, went sand-boarding on the sand dunes, and participated in the beach Olympics day. Each night we were given a new activity. The first was a quiet one where everyone contributed to the group’s dinner. The evening finished with a trivia competition that involved embarrassing all of the students. The second night was an Hawaiian night that wrapped up with a talent show where all we were given an opportunity to show off our talents. The final night was, in my opinion, the most enjoyable - “date night”. Male students had to ask out a female student during the day. Also, one couple from each house had to get “married”. The night began with a group marriage ceremony and ended with a huge house dance competition. This was the perfect way to finish off the camp and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. I would recommend the camp to anyone and everyone who wants to get involved. This camp was amazing and I will remember it for the rest of my life.

In previous years, Obi had demonstrated a clear dominance in the water. 2012 saw a small glitch in a strong run of performances for Obi, where they conceded the overall trophy to Mellum, only to regain their hold on it again in 2013. However, there was a noticeable change in the tide, so to speak, last year. Bunya showed a lot of strength in the younger grades, with many Age Champions coming from the mighty Greens. As is always the case, the cheering from the sideline was strong from all Houses. Students, led by their House Leaders, decorated themselves in their tribal colours of blue, red, and green, encouraging their fellow House members on their quest for victory. Mellum looked strong again this year and put up a very gallant fight, eventually finishing a close second to …………………………. BUNYA.

This year was the wettest and coldest camp this century. Day 1 started with a short 12 kilometre walk on the Dave’s Creek Circuit only to be interrupted at the furtherest extreme of the journey with light rain. Before long the light showers graduated into heavy, mud-creating, shoe-soaking rain. At least it kept the meat-eating ticks at bay. The icy waters and long march in the cold meant that night’s Maleny High Binna Burra Camp Geography Survivor Challenge was a quieter event than usual. This year’s winner, in a landslide elimination vote, was Sarah Hayes. Congratulations Sarah for joining a long line of illustrious previous winners. For the last day of camp the sun came out, the temperature increased and we were sad to leave for home at the end of the last-ever camp for this Year That was the entrée for more abnormal weather. The 12 group. following day, for the beautiful 22 kilometre Coomera Falls walk, the temperature plummeted just in time for crossing ice-cold creek crossings. The fact that a few hardy souls braved the frigid water for a swim is testament more to their bravado than their bravery. 24 Y e a r E l e v e n 26 2 0 1 4 27 i n ENGLISH-MORE THAN JUST WORDS “The world of literature has everything in it, and it refuses to leave anything out. I have read like a man on fire my whole life because the genius of English teachers touched me with the dazzling beauty of language. I've been in ten thousand cities and have introduced myself to a hundred thousand strangers in my exuberant reading career, all because I listened to my fabulous English teachers and soaked up every single thing those magnificent men and women had to give. I cherish and praise them and thank them for finding me when I was a boy and presenting me with the precious gift of the English language.” ― Pat Conroy, best-selling author DID YOU KNOW... The number of words in the English language is about 1,025,109. This was the estimate by the Global Language Monitor on January 1, 2014. The English Language passed the Million Word threshold on June 10, 2009 at 10:22a.m (GMT). The Millionth Word was the controversial ‘Web 2.0′. Currently there is a new word created every 98 minutes or about 14.7 words per day. Of course, this is tricky to monitor. English is a dynamic language and, as such, it is constantly evolving. There is no doubt that English is a beautiful, as well as a functional, language. Just being a native speaker of such a vibrant language allows you to join around 360 million others spread throughout the world. This year in the Maleny High School English Department we have created, argued, persuaded, debated, imagined, reflected and explored. We’ve used words to communicate, studied the words of others and analysed how these have been used to inform, persuade, entertain and convey purposeful meaning. goes well beyond just the words on a page. They have entered the theatre of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and evaluated its relevance to our modern world. Year 11 and 12 English have explored novels and dramatic texts, the techniques of advertising, narrative writing, persuasive speaking and also feature articles. They have expounded and reflected upon both their lives, and their place in the lives of others. Year 11 and 12 English Communication have looked at how language is used for practical life purposes. They have studied procedural, informative and analytical texts and how these are used, and applied, in the worlds of leisure, community and the workplace. Thank you to my wonderful team of English and Literacy teachers who inspire their students every day: Brad Boustead, Mark Camman, Su Carbery, Wendy Dawson, Amanda Edwards, Johanna Henderson, Robyn Jones, Simon Kranz, Sue McDermott, Chris McKenzie, Jon O’Connell, Matthew Perina, Dagmar Ryan, Ellison Sinclair, Usha Soares and Heidi Wegert. The Year 8 students explored aspects of visual literacy, delved into the world of the frequently misunderstood teenager and looked at how texts can be modernised to empower a more contemporary reader. I am very privileged to work with such a gifted and passionate group of people. We can work miracles because we work with some fabulous young men and women. Read some of their work in this magazine and in ‘Muse’ (our school Literary Arts publication) and you’ll see exactly what I mean. The Year 9 students have put persuasive techniques into practice, explored sensory description and narrative writing through the Science-Fiction and Fantasy genres, and drawn on the cultural experiences of others as a basis for their memoir writing. Finally, a huge thank you must go to the parents who read to their children, help them with their homework and assignments, give them books and words, and started them on a life-long learning journey. We are, as one day they shall be, ever grateful! The Year 10 students have wielded powerful literary devices such as satire, irony and parody and discovered how these can be used to convey meaning that Remember, there’s a wonderful world of language all around us. Go and explore it for yourself. Interact Our Interact Club has been running now for nine years and it has been such a privilege to be a part of this. If I have learned anything from this, it is that we have a school which really, really cares. We have had yet another big year. New relationships have been formed, we have worked well as a team, and I think we have helped to make a difference. As usual we began the year with Valentine’s Day, offering only fresh roses for sale. These proved very popular. We had already earmarked our profits to go to ‘Aussie Helpers’, an organisation which assists farmers in drought. Our donation was used to purchase bales of hay, drums of diesel, and gift cards for families in need. The Annual Interact Conference was again held at St. Columban’s College at Caboolture with several of our members attending. This is always a great day as it gives us the opportunity to share with other clubs from our District, swap ideas, and make new friends. Our presentation was well-received, and I was certainly very proud of our students, our school, and what we have achieved. The World’s Greatest Shave for the Leukaemia Foundation is always the next event on our calendar. This always creates a lot of hype and enthusiasm, and this year was no different. We had 11 students, 3 teachers, and a Mum take part in the ‘Shave’, and between them, and with the support of many others, an amazing $9,089-00 was the final tally. A huge 'Thank You' to everyone who made this possible. Our 2013 Interact project finally came to fruition, with the installation of a new cold water drinking fountain Following a request from the Maleny Credit Union, we had some students who helped to serve food at the MCU’s 30th Anniversary celebrations. I am told they did a splendid job. We again hosted the ‘Big Cuppa’ for Cancer, combining it with our ‘Thank You’ to the many local clubs/ organisations who donated books to our school in commemoration of ANZAC Day. Some of our other fundraising activities have been a Pie Drive, the proceeds from which went to the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre to purchase swags for the homeless. We have continued our weekly coffees for the staff (with special thanks to our barista, Ryan Webb, who makes a fabulous cup of coffee), we sold drinks and supper at the Year 8 Bush Dance and, of course, there was our raffle. So far this year we have had 4 BBQs and Free Dress days. A special event for our school this year was the Brock Giblin Benefit Concert (Music Jam), BBQ and Free Dress Day which was held to raise funds for Brock and his family, following the racing car accident in which Brock was severely burned. With $3,275-00 raised in one day, this shows the true heart and soul of our school community. Actions do speak louder than words. We will be making a further contribution later in the year. Our visits to the Maleny Kindy have again been a highlight for us. We enjoy so much the time we spend with the little ones. It is great to see them all, the big and the small, getting dirty in the sandpit together, kicking a ball, reading a story, or getting Peta Fredericks—Head of English Learn a new word every day. Here are some of the most beautiful words in the English language to try out: Woebegone—sorrowful, downcast Propinquity—an inclination Mellifluous—sweet sounding Tintinnabulation—tinkling Petrichor—the smell of earth after rain Lagniappe—a special kind of gift Scintilla—a spark or very small thing Palimpsest—a manuscript written over earlier ones Imbroglio—an altercation or complicated situation Riparian—by the bank of a stream Offing—the sea between the horizon and the offshore Halcyon—happy, sunny, carefree Redolent—fragrant Lithe—slender and flexible Fugacious—fleeting Quintessential—most essential Lassitude—weariness, listlessness Ephemeral—short-lived http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/100_most_beautiful_words.html installed down near the oval for the benefit of all. Our Interact students helped out on the Rotary Food stall at the Maleny Show. There were 8 students rostered on for the Friday. Unfortunately we could not be there for the Saturday, as we had a Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings. paint everywhere. We have also sent several boxes of books and sporting equipment to the Solomon Islands, and are happy knowing that they will find a good home there. This year we have had the added bonus of being involved in the Maleny Trailriders weekend at Conon- 29 dale. Four of our students gave up their weekend to make coffees for the riders, their families, and all the volunteers, with another of our students helping out on the Sunday. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to make some extra dollars for our Interact Club, and we are very grateful for this opportunity. Another bonus for us this year was being invited to sell drinks, cakes, slices, etc. at the Hoof 'n Hook at Maleny Showgrounds. Thank you to Katina Woods. This netted us $505-00. Earlier this week we held a ‘Thank You’ morning tea for all those individuals, businesses and organisations who have supported us. The timing was very opportune as we were able to welcome back Mr Brian King as our Principal. Our thanks must go to Maleny Rotary Club, Maleny Supa IGA, Maleny Butchery, Maleny Dairies, Montville Coffee and Maleny Hot Bread Bakery Café for the wonderful support you have given us. We cannot forget our amazing school, and also the Maleny S.H.S. P & C. The monies raised this year have been donated to organisations and individuals as follows Aussie Helpers (Farmers in Drought) Leukaemia Foundation (World’s Greatest Shave) Nambour Children’s Hospital (Books, pens, toys, etc.) Cancer Council (Big Cuppa) Maleny Neighbourhood Centre Student Sponsorships Chappy Rugby Union Jerseys Motivational Media Brock Giblin and Family World Vision 40 Hour Famine Maleny Show Society QCS Breakfast Doctors without Borders Operation Cleft – ‘Gift a smile for Life’ We have approximately 15 members in our Interact Club, coming from Years 10, 11 and 12. They are a very enthusiastic group and I am enormously proud of their efforts and their commitment to Interact and to our school. I would like to take this opportunity to wish our Year 12s every happiness and success for the future. You have been an absolute delight and I thank you for your friendship. Be happy, stay safe, and always be true to yourself. There is still more to come for Interact this year so we cannot sit back and relax just yet. We still have another BBQ and Free Dress Day as well as attending the Remembrance Day ceremony at Erowal. Students, please remember, this is your club and it can only be as good as you want to make it. You have helped us to make a difference. Drama students at Maleny High continued to impress themselves and others throughout 2014. The 9s performed to primary schools, the 10s presented comedy lunchbox, the 11s created magnificent work in Shakespearean and Absurd Theatre and the 12s dazzled audiences with political statements in Epic Theatre style, showing collective social conscience and incredible skills. An enormous creative capacity and impressive intellectual and emotional growth was displayed every day in the Drama Room and ensured that 2014 would be remembered as a year of accomplishment. Congratulations. DRAMA Thank you to everyone for your support in 2014.

Darth Vader, alias Mr Wade Jacobsen and Mr Bean, alias Riley Frampton won out on the day. The character theme was a student initiative and we are sure it will not be the last one that we have. It was so much fun. From our BBQ and free dress donations we raised $830-00 for Chappy. This is a fantastic result. 32 Shave for a Cure This is something that I have participated in for a few years now. I have been motivated for two main reasons. Like most of us I know people, including relatives, whose lives have been touched by cancer. Shaving my head is far easier than having to cope with a serious disease. Secondly, I have observed that mowing the grass promotes thicker re-growth. I thought that shaving might do the same for my hair. However, I think what has happened is that I’ve just ended up thicker. Brad Boustead 33 BUNYA Camp Noosa This year’s grade 11 Geography camp to Noosa happened to coincide with the 25th anniversary of this excursion. On the 7th of May, four courageous teachers embarked on a three day trip with 38 wide-eyed and keen Geography students. The focus of this camp was to analyse not just the environmental sustainability of the Noosa region, but also its social and economic sustainability. With this in mind, several activities each day saw the students develop practical skills around this. Perhaps one of the activities the students enjoyed most was the hire of boats on the second day to study the mangrove habitats, the canal systems and the Noosa North Shore. Despite rain, the odd blister, bad singing, a lack of fish caught and a boat almost getting swept out the mouth of the river, this was yet again another successful camp. Here’s hoping for another 25 years of Maleny Geography students enjoying what truly is a magnificent trip away. Mr. O’Connell In 2014 a Year 11 Geography camp took place in Noosa. From a student's honest opinion, the camp was the best camp I have participated in to date! Firstly, everything was organised perfectly by the SOSE department of Maleny State High School so that we could have a pleasant experience. The awesome staff at the camp gave us freedom to have a good time as well as learning, and most importantly, developed a mutual respect with us. Finally, the camp was todie-for and I would go back and do it again in a heartbeat. I can't stress this enough - I strongly recommend selecting Geography as a subject for all students! 34 Jake Christison and Christie Gicquel - grade 11. 35 The activities and facilities were amazing. Secondly, the accommodation was simply breathtaking. In all honesty, it felt like a luxurious holiday, whilst we were being educated in the best possible way - with hands-on experience of coastal areas. Next, my favourite aspect of the entire camp was the opportunity to demonstrate responsibility and selfsufficiency. CHAPP Y'S Chat 60 seconds with Chappy By Brad, Banu, Dan & Ben – Class of ‘14 CHAPPY’S NEWS How did you seriously get so good at times tables? When I was at primary school I learnt them out of fear. If we got them wrong there would be consequences. I would also like to point out that no student has ever beaten me in a times table competition. What do you want to be when you grow up? A super model. I could have people take photos of me and get paid a 6 figure sum easily! What is your favourite part of your job? When, as a school, we do random acts of kindness for people or organisations. For example, when the school held the day for Brock Giblin, 40 hour famine, shave for a cure etc. Who is your least favourite staff member? Mr Camman, because I have had to share rooms with him on about 20 camps. He just sleep talks about Geography the whole time. What’s the worst you have ever been pranked? A group of girls (students) from a couple of years ago (on Geography Camp) put a frozen whiting (fish) in my Coke slushy when we went to the movies. I didn’t find the surprise until the end of the movie when I had finished the slushy. How did you feel when your hair started falling out? I was a Year 5 teacher at the time in NQ and a student came up to me and said ‘Sir do you know your hair is falling out?” I went home that afternoon and the Year 4 teacher got the clippers and went no blade all over and it has been that way ever since. Did you find anything unusual on a camp last year? On leadership camp last year there was a jellyfish in my suitcase. My suitcase was also zip-tied to my bed. I am going to miss the class of 2014. Another time the class of 2009 stole all of my clothes on ‘Schoolies Backflip Whitsundays' and I had to make friends with another Chaplain and borrow his clothes (Lucky he was XXL). My last favourite is when students pranked me by super gluing everything to my desk in perfect position. What is the silliest thing a student has ever done? I heard about a student who, when he was younger, threw an apple at a bell and broke it. He then tried to bury it in the garden to cover up his crime. Unfortunately (for the student involved) he was caught in the act by his Year Level Coordinator. This year saw the Chaplaincy service of Maleny SHS change employing authorities to The Solution Network Australia Foundation. The Chaplaincy Committee also became incorporated and is now known as Genconnex. Thank you to all the staff, parents and students on the Chaplaincy Committee who enabled this transition to happen. To everyone who supported the APEX Chaplaincy Appeal Dinner, Maleny SUPA IGA Chaplaincy Golf Day, the Interact committee Sausage Sizzle and Free Dress day for Chaplaincy, I would like to pass on my thanks. The Chaplaincy Service at this school only exists because of the generosity shown by the community at events such as these. Because of this amazing support we have been able to provide: • • • meals to families subsidies for camps lunches/breakfasts for students We hope to continue this support into the future. There have been many highlights this year such as the sports carnivals, Roadcraft, camps, Building Bridges Program, Japanese visits and talented performances by our students. My favourite times are when everyone comes together to support events such as ‘Shave for a Cure’, ’40 Hour Famine’, ‘Clean Up Australia day’ and this year ‘Brock Giblin Day’. Finally, to the class of 2014, thank you for the many memories you have provided. It seems like just yesterday we were on Year 8 Camp with Ms Penney and the late Ms McPherson. You have all grown up so fast. Whilst you may not attend here anymore you will always be in our hearts. To the Year 12s and any other students not returning, I wish you all the best for your future.

Elle Nish (Year 12) participated in the SPARQ-ed immersion program during the September holidays at the Diamentina Institute for Medical Research. During my holidays and the last week of school I participated in two awesome Science programs. The first was the Students Participating in Advanced Research program at the Translational Research Institute. For five days myself and a group of other students from Brisbane completed an experiment on a mutation in a tumor suppressor gene that helped Dr Pascal Duijf in his cancer research. At the Queensland Institute of Medical Research for three days I got to experience how a research laboratory works through hands-on work experience. I recommend both experiences to all students considering a Science career. - Elle Nish 43 Nick Dendle, Conor Duggan, Tyler Watson and Tony Wasshausen (Year 12) participated in the Engineering Link Program at the Queensland University of Technology during the June-July holidays. During this program the boys took part in such activities as: making and programming robots out of Lego Technic that were capable of navigating different landscapes, programming and building a switch system to regulate water supply at different altitudes, and completing tactical exercises with limited resources to meet Australian Defence Force conditions. A secret competition on the last day finished off the threeday excursion – all we can tell you is that it involved jelly! The boys highly recommend the excursion as an introduction to engineering, and a good overview of what aspects of engineering you may like or dislike. As Tony said, “It’s lots of fun, especially if you’re practically-minded.” Her By Alaia Bereziat The voice. The threats. The constant fear in which I live, induced by the knowledge that any wrong step could end with me catching the brunt of it all – whether the misstep was mine or not. I know that each time I open my mouth, I could be triggering the attacks; the reason for my fear. They can be sprung upon me at any point. At least I understood the first few times; there had been stressful work weeks for everybody, bills and deadlines often looming. I could see how the tension had built up, how it had all become too much, and I had simply caught the backlash. But from there on they had become increasingly erratic. There wasn’t always a solid reason I could see, that I could comprehend, but I guess I must have done something; otherwise I wouldn’t have been so severely punished. I don’t know how long this has been going on; it feels like a whole lifetime. Looking back on the times where I was free, before I met my imprisoner, the one who was destined to rule my life, it’s as though I was another person. I wasn’t restricted; I could go where I wanted, do what I wanted. I wanted to give. I wanted to share my passion for art with the world. I was free, capable, and on the brink of exploring what I imagined to be a wide and wonderful world. Then there was the accident. I remember the car sliding out into a tree, the wheels no longer holding onto the road, thanks to the watery film between the two. Luckily enough, I wasn’t too severely injured. Only some bruising and the pain I felt at each refreshed realisation that it had been my fault, as I was the driver. The passenger was another story – broken leg, broken arm, fractured neck. I still can’t bring myself to even visualise his name, the man who was once my best friend, who I can no longer face due to my guilt. But I have had to move on; there are other problems plaguing my life now. For me, it was the emotional recovery that took up my time. It was during that time I met my imprisoner. The relationship started with an almost kind voice in the background, reminding me of the things I was on the verge of forgetting. Whether I wanted to remember them or not, she didn’t care. She nudged me into an excessive consciousness, enabling me to be acutely aware of all that I had done, and all that I had to do. But, at least there were times where she left me, where I was alone again, and at peace. That is no longer the case; I can’t remember the last time she wasn’t with me, or around the corner, waiting for me. She is everywhere I go, in some sense or another. •••••••••••••••••• 44 The fear is rising in my chest, like the ugly beast it is. I know I’ve made a mistake. There are so many different options for what it could be this time. The bills which I am avoiding – it’s hard to make it to work regularly when I can’t leave my bed, let alone the house, for fear of triggering an attack. Or maybe it is the family gathering which is quickly approaching. She doesn’t like me going to see my family. They ask questions: “Cally dear, why do you look so tired?” and, “Have you been eating enough lately, Cally? I could swear you’ve lost weight again and countless other unanswerable questions. Unanswerable, because how can I tell my family that there is something ruling my life, something other than the ambitions and passions I used to follow? How can I tell them that any wrong move on my behalf is now punished so severely that I fear attempting even the most menial of tasks? Well, she certainly doesn’t want me to answer them: they might judge, they might try and remove me from the situation, seek the help which I haven’t been able to. I don’t think I can survive another attack. I don’t know what I’ll do if I have to deal with this, I need a way out. “Cally! You know you messed up!” the voice screeches, resonating throughout my mind. Is being here worth it when even the most joyous, simple moments are tainted with the fear of what is to come? There is a guilt driven deeper into my very being at each strike, as I know that they were my own fault, spurred by my own actions, my own thoughts. It is all too much; life isn’t worth living when it is filled with dreading and panic. I need to escape, I have to. But there are only so many options for escape when what you’re running from is yourself. •••••••••••••••••• There are so many people here, so many people coming to see her off; say their final goodbyes. How can I tell them what I think? How can I tell them that my sister was once a happy, ambitious young woman? As she was my older sister, I always looked up to Cally. Before the accident, she was a completely different person. She followed her passions, pursued her dream of becoming an artist, even though this meant working in the café she had been in since high school. She managed to stay on top of her finances while also buying art supplies to maintain her dream. She was heavily involved in the family, never missing a single birthday. Then there was the accident. I’m sure everyone at the funeral will know the story, or some version of it. It was a dark, rainy day. Cally lost control of the vehicle, sliding out to collide with a tree, severely, but not fatally, injuring the passenger. Somehow, she managed to escape relatively unscathed – physically at least. From that point on, she was a different person. Understandably, she took a little while off work to recover, which did not trigger any particular concern – anybody would do the same. It was only after what I believed to be a significant period of time that I began to worry about her wellbeing. Living by herself, she had no one to keep an eye on her. She began to fall behind in her bills; work became a struggle for her to attend. The weight of her guilt began to crack her, allowing her anxiety to seep through. Well I guess that’s how I’ll tell them. Take a deep breath, they’re all feeling the same; no one will be judging you. She would have wanted you to tell the whole story. “… and the weight of her guilt had begun to crack her, allowing her anxiety to seep through. I believe that her choice to leave us was spurred by a desperate hope for escape. It must not be taken as an insult – I know she did not realise what she would be doing to those who loved her when she decided to take her life. She saw no other option; drowning in despair and fear of her anxiety attacks. Her life had, in her eyes, become unworthy. Now, all that we can do is be comforted by the fact that she is no longer living in that agony. All I ask of you is not to remember her by how she left us, or how she was over the last months she was with us, but by the way she lived her life before – full of passion.” The Cynic maybe her arrogance. The crowd didn’t seem to notice. She wove tales of happiness and joy; her words danced out to the mourners seated in front of her, yet they remained unaffected, unswayed by her hon eyed words. “Maybe she wouldn’t be up there if she by Conor Duggan had have taken notice,” someone whispered.

They seemed to press on her shoulders; a true testament to her spirit, or together, united against the pain assaulting them 45 from all sides. Some people tried to talk to them, but were met with short, sharp answers; anyone could see they preferred to be left in peace. The whispers gathered at the back of the room. Everyone leaned into the centre of their group, struggling to gather the words floating around the room. I drifted towards the closest group. They didn’t notice my approach and kept on whispering, “Can’t believe she didn’t notice. I knew and I only met him four times.” He had a point; she was oblivious. More groups around me were leaning in, voicing their own opinions. I simply watched in silence. A man from a group to my left spoke, “You’d think when he never brought any girls home you’d work it out, especially his father.” I drifted over to a group further to the right. Another voice floated out to meet me, “… heard they found him hanging in his room, and they found the note in his closet.” “Must’ve been pretty hard finding him like that; that’s not something you can forget. I wonder if they’ve still got the note. Not something you want to keep, but I don’t really think you’d want to throw it away.” That’s what everyone wanted, to see the note. If everyone could please assemble at the front of the room, we will now begin the viewing. People began making their way to the front, apprehensive but yet excited to be doing anything something. A line formed behind the parents as they slowly made their way towards the casket. I took my place near the back. I wasn’t in a rush; I had time on my side. I was jostled in the line because people didn’t notice me; they were all too focused on the casket. The people around me seemed hypnotised 46 by the casket; even when they weren’t looking at it, they were thinking about it. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, friends all took their turn and stepped up to the casket. As I moved closer I began to feel confined. I knew what was coming and I wanted to see, but the butterflies in my stomach wouldn’t go away. The line kept moving, drawing me towards the casket by an unstoppable force. I could hear the blood pumping in my ears; sweat broke out on my brow. Only three people stood between me and the casket. I had to see; I couldn’t back out now. The background chatter from the other guests faded into a low hum. It was my turn. By now most of the guests had re-joined their groups and were chatting once more. No one saw me approach the casket with timid steps. I took a deep breath to steady my nerves before looking over the edge of the coffin. I lay peacefully; looking more peaceful than I had ever been. It seemed as if I had simply gone to sleep and all the worries of the world had slipped from me. I was finally at rest. Even at a funeral to mourn the passing of a teenager with so much life left to live, people still show the depth of their disdain for the deceased. A young boy was harassed and bullied to such a degree that the only escape he could see was through death, and yet people still can not summon even an ounce of compassion and sincerity. Our society is clearly in need of repair when people attend funerals not as a way to mourn and say farewell to the deceased, but as a way to gain recognition for themselves by making an appearance.

Well done Sammy! 36 Winning house BUNYA 49 Maleny Exposed The Age-Old War Nick Dendle As I stare around the bare, sterile room where I have waited for an everlasting time I find a peculiar comfort in my incapacitation. My only companion in this cold, clinical, impersonal space is like me. Felled by the war, he stares through the single tiny window, out at the battlefield beyond our refuge. It is amazing how alike we are. Even without the physical similarities, identifying us would not be difficult, for we are the veterans, and as such, are much the same. Scarred and disfigured, limping from old wounds, a lifetime of fighting behind us. We have walked the path of the many who came before us, knowing defeat is inevitable. It chips away at any fragile remnants of the fine, upstanding, strong people we once were. But that is the way this war works; every man, woman and child must battle eternally, in a conflict which has lasted as long as we can remember, and may well last forever. Friendships, loyalties, our minds themselves – all are, sooner or later, subsumed by the fight. I check my monitors once again, restless. Invisible is my injury, incalculable are the odds, and interminable is the wait. ••••• I was struck down in the battle, like so many before me. I am the sole survivor of a legion, and I am sorely wounded. It’s not that I wasn’t prepared to fight. I knew my death was coming: it was not a concern, for it comes to us all, sooner or later. The question was where best to spend my short life. Initially we defeated the enemy at every turn: everywhere we won. We went from strength to strength. People noticed us as we gradually progressed, young and strong. When we were attacked, we fought back. The first attacks were small and easily overcome. A few of us were lost, but usually to stupidity. Most of us were unaffected. The first losses were small. The minor things; easily replaced. These we could do without while we went on with more important concerns. 50 Then we gradually lost our mobility. As we did, we gradually lost the capacity to handle certain terrains. The attacks became more frequent, not as easily shrugged off. Our losses became noticeable as the enemy was unleashed upon us. We could only repair so much, and our reach lessened. Staying in one place was difficult, but we could still assist as a supply station, and train others. We found comfort in the ordering of our domain, and our special interests. Then we were attacked again. The enemy unleashed some kind of bioweapon; killing indiscriminately. I was one of the lucky ones. I lived to tell the tale, and to serve again. I know not how I survived: chance? I care not. After that, we gradually split; lost contact. A later attack lost me my leg and, at some point, something got my head. I don’t remember that one, but to this day my memory is affected. My current injury may be unseen, but anyone looking at me will know instantly that I have been a victim of the battle. No part of me is unscathed: my hair bleached, my back twisted, my skin speckled with the legacy of old burns. Fool that I was - I silently wished that I could serve, and contribute, despite all of this. Then came the intruder; an insidious menace. I didn’t notice him at first, seeing only the effects of old wounds. I just found myself weaker with every passing day. This traitor was killing me slowly; so slowly that I didn’t even realise. I became confined to a hospital bed, wracked with pain, still working, trying to serve. Eventually I found him out - the traitor. But by then, there was no way I could stop him. I tried, almost killing myself; attempting everything, but he always eluded me. And now, it is too late. My only consolation is that when I die, he will be dealt with in a fitting manner. Possibly they may even keep him here, study him; find his weaknesses. ••••• I hate this waiting. I should be out there, serving humanity. Instead, I am trapped here, suffering in calm, in quiet, in comfort. I am told to rest, improve, as if that will help. Here I may be cared for better than the open battlefield, but what is my purpose? Watching? Being a target for the traitor? Trying to give me comfort, they lie, again and again. I remain only to study the agents of the enemy, and – before my inevitable defeat – to help learn how to defeat them. I know this, but knowing and feeling are not the same things. I know that I would kill myself if I tried to attack the traitor, but that does nothing to stop my desire. Instead I waste away here, at the mercy of the intruder. My friends, my siblings, my successors; all may gain from any small victory I can provide. I am fighting for those I love, though I cannot win myself. The world is fighting with me. I know that the battle can, and will be, won. But, not in time for this sad soul. My battle with age was over a long time ago. As the final darkness descends, I feel peace, as defeat makes itself known. 51 A week in the snow 37 excited students, 3 dedicated and hilarious teachers, 1 buzzing 8 year old and the best snow in 14 years were the key ingredients for Maleny State High School's best Ski Trip ever! Starting bright and early, we all met at Brisbane Airport at 7 o’clock in the morning. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who woke up groaning, but had a quick change of attitude when I realised we were about to go on an exhilarating snow adventure. This was the beginning of a week full of 5am starts, endless stacks and cute ski instructors. Our first day on the slopes was quite a shock. Skiing and snowboarding was harder than most expected but nonetheless the bus ride home was full of endless stories and laughter. Certain mistakes that should only have been made once, like holding up the entire ski lift, not getting off in time and forgetting to shot-gun the first shower on the way home, were made again and again. The pool competition on Tuesday night brought out the competitive side in us all, including the teachers. Mr Homewood, Mr Wilkinson and Ms Hyde versed Ruby, Lochie and Eireann in the final round. Ruby potting the white ball when aiming for the black is a moment that she will never live down, giving Mr Homewood inspiration for another legendary meme - one of millions he made and posted on our Face Book page throughout the week!! In the month leading up to Ski Trip none of us would have predicted that Mother Nature would bless us with the best snow in 14 years. Skiing down slopes of thick powered snow made all the difference when stacking. And the stacks were plentiful! At the end of the day, after telling the bus our stacks, a “Stack of the Day” would be decided by the judges, Ms Hyde, Mr Homewood, Mr Wilkinson and Johnny. At the end of the week, prizes were awarded to the ‘Stack of the Week’ winners: Issy, Eireann, Lucy and Emily. Overall, the 2014 ski trip was a fantastic experience and everyone had a wonderful time! As a group we have carried away so many memories and we would like to thank Miss Hyde, Mr Homewood and Mr Wilkinson for everything they did in preparation for, and during, the week. We all had a blast! By Chloe Harney and Isabelle Frederiksen 52 53 Home Economics Department They say that, “Time flies when you’re having fun!” This year has been another very busy one with students working flat out to create dishes or sew articles with flair and individuality. Students from Year 7 transition, Year 8 Home Economics, Years 9 and 10 Food Studies; Year 11 and 12 Hospitality and 11/12 Early Childhood, have all excelled themselves in participating in new and challenging opportunities which have helped them gain a wider view of the world and their place in it. Year 8 Home Economics students have again had fun making the trusty pencil case, BUT no two have been the same! Everyone gets to add their own special touch to make their creation unique. Working in the kitchen has also given them the opportunity to establish their kitchen skill set to ensure they never go hungry! Year 9 and 10 Food Studies have been exploring the wonderful world of food from the basics to the tricky. Year 9 outdid themselves when they provided gourmet burgers for the Year 8 Family Bush Dance. This huge effort saw them researching and trialling recipes to find the best results to offer to students and their families on the night. Year 10 have had a taste of things to come if they decide a career in the food industry is for them. They have had the opportunity to do a little catering; compete in the biscuit competitions at the Maleny Show; and experience making homemade ice cream to sell to their fellow students. Year 11 and 12 Hospitality has been run off their feet providing our tastebuds with tasty sandwich lunches and warming winter pies and stews. Catering for the odd function has also filled in the quiet days. Year 11 Hospitality students continued the great reputation that we have by catering for the Judges' morning and afternoon teas at the annual Maleny Show. Year 12 Hospitality students had the opportunity to show off their catering skills at the Community Connections Meeting. Many valuable lessons can be taken away from both of these events. Early Childhood Studies students have been kept on their toes this year. The girls have been out in local childcare centres working with children each week, all year, to enable them to com- plete their course. They also supplied a crèche service for parents at the 5/6/7 Parent Information Evening. The girls have also had the opportunity to participate in our electronic baby program. This has given the girls a valuable insight into the demands of motherhood with a young baby. Sleepless nights were experienced by a few over their chosen weekend. 2015 will see the start of a new era when Year 7 becomes the first year of high school at Maleny State High. This means that both Years 6 and 7 have participated in a Transition Program giving our future students the chance to check out their new teachers and classrooms. All are very excited at the prospect of being in the High School for the first time. Getting a taste for how things happen in Home Economics and other subject areas is something no one wants to miss. 2015 is shaping up to be a huge year for change and new opportunities for all students. As well as the Year 7 students, it will also see the introduction of a new elective subject for Year 9 students – ‘Fabric Design’. There are a couple of name changes to come: Year 7 and 8 Home Economics will now be known as ‘Food and Fabric Technology’. Year 9 and 10 Food Studies will also change from Food Studies to Food Technology. Home Ec. is very excited about this new direction and the great creations that students will bring to the sewing room. Congratulations to all for a fantastic 2014 and Best Wishes for an equally rewarding 2015!! 54 55 A taste of Japan 2014 heralded the very first Japan study tour. Twelve students from Years 9,10 and 12 participated in what proved to be a fantastic experience for all. The 11 day tour began in Tokyo and what better way to experience Japan than a day at Tokyo Disneyland! For ten years Maleny High has been host to students from Sakura city in Tochigi prefecture, north of Tokyo, and on September 23rd the city rolled out the red carpet for Maleny students. Greeted at the station by a huge banner and a crowd of people, our students were completely awestruck at the reception. For the next two days students stayed in home stays and experienced authentic home and school life. Sakura City Education Office hosted a day trip for students and their buddies to Nikko, a world heritage listed temple and shrine complex dating from the 1st century. Prior to leaving Australia students were apprehensive at staying in home stays, but when it came time to leave many of them bemoaned the fact that it was so short and wished they could have stayed for a much longer period. New friendships were forged and old ones were renewed as we said our teary goodbyes and headed back to Tokyo. We continued our adventures with a trip to Ghibli Museum, the home of Japanese anime, and then on to shop in the funky streets of Harajuku. Of course, no trip would be complete without a couple of days in Kyoto where we visited temples, shrines, ate tofu (which Chappy loved!), visited some more temples and shrines and also Eigamura, where all the samurai films are made. On to Hiroshima which left a sombre impression on students as they were faced with the reality of the total annihilation of the city during World War 2. Term 3 is the term for study tours. 2014 was a busy year with two different study tours from Japan. In July we hosted 16 boys from Kaisei Senior High School in Mie prefecture, Japan. This was the second time Kaisei have visited Maleny and, once again, the boys had an awesome time in the school and their home stay families. Whilst at Maleny the boys had excursions to Australia Zoo, Sealife Mooloolaba, and Maleny Dairies. They also had specialist English lessons and joined their Maleny buddies in their classes and extra-curricular activities. Every year in August Maleny hosts students from Sakura city in Tochigi prefecture, Japan. This year was special as it marked the tenth year that Sakura students have been visiting Maleny. The students from Ujiie and Kitsureigawa Junior High Schools only stay for a short 6 day period but always have a fabulous time with their buddies and host families. Maleny High has an increasing number of international students coming to study for long periods of time through Education Queensland International. In 2014 we have said goodbye to Celina and Gard from Norway, but have welcomed Mami and Mei from Japan (who have been studying in Year 10), Dima and Julie from Norway, and Lucia from Germany in Year 11. We have also welcomed YSF student Claudia from Mexico in Year 11. Our final night was spent in Osaka with shopping, a fabulous dinner of tebasaki and yakitori and a night of karaoke which, of course, was dominated by the raucous renditions of eighties classics by Tui and Chappy. Watch out for their debut release on iTunes. Japan was an amazing experience where we experienced the brilliance of another culture so different to our own. Being able to speak Japanese to native speakers and being immersed in it is one of the best feelings. Knowing that you have that door way to communicate with people you wouldn't otherwise be able to is extraordinary. - Jane Japan has a very different culture to Australia. The people are so kind and would always be there to help you even if you couldn't speak very good Japanese. Japan has a long history compared to Australia. We visited many temples that had been there for hundreds of years telling stories of the past. It was amazing to see how these people lived hundreds of years ago. - Georgia Japan was the most wonderful experience I've ever had. The culture and people were so different to anywhere else. The history in the temples and the fantastic technology made for a very unique experience. I would go back in an instant if I could. - Riley Japan was absolutely amazing. Their culture is very acccepting and kind. The temples were great and the history was amazing. There is so much history in Japan that it blew my mind away. There are thousands of different types of temples. Japan is truly an amazing country. - Abbey Japan was an experience of a lifetime. The culture was calm and forgiving unlike so many places. The people were so beautiful. They were kind and peaceful. The history and the temples were exceptional. I truly wish the trip was longer, but I know I am definitely going back in the future. - Maddi 56 Nihongo All Year 8 students are able to study the Japanese language for a complete year. This year, students have reinforced their Primary language skills in basic communication. This was put to the test in Term 3 when students were able to join with visiting Japanese study tour students and experience real-life communication resulting in fun for all. 2014 was only the second year for Japanese to be offered as an elective subject in Years 9 and 10, and an impressive 12% of year 8 students chose Japanese as an elective this year. In addition to extending their language capabilities in reading, writing, listening and speaking, students have travelled to the Japanese Consulate in Brisbane in August for cultural studies, and again to Brisbane in October to attend the Japanese Film Festival at the Myer Cen- tre. Many of this year's students also joined the Japan study tour in the September holidays. Sadly for Year 10 students Japanese is not offered as a senior subject, but keep studying students; don't give up on improving your language capabilities as they will definitely be useful in the future. 57 59 YEAR 9 in 2014 2014 Track and Field Carnival If the 2013 Athletics Carnival was close, the 2014 Carnival was closer again. With 272 points spanning 1st to 3rd, and the smallest of margins between the victors and 2nd place, the day was a nail-biter until the finish. A beautiful couple of days with some good weather, this carnival saw excellent performances from many athletes, with a handful of records broken. Oskar Campbell shaved time off Jaimal Grogan’s 400m time (2010) of 59.40s to set the new 14yrs boys record at 59.07s. Marc Kearney bettered Cody Pennington’s (2012) record for the 14yrs boys Triple Jump by a further 2cm, setting the record now at 11.69m. Greg Thomas set a new Open Boys Long Jump record of 6.20m, rewriting a long-standing record from 1998, set by Francis Dowling (6.17m). Greg also went on to set a new record for the Open Boys High Jump, raising the bar (so to speak) from 1.84m (Jackson Gray, 2012), to 1.86m. The latter was particularly exciting to watch from the hill, even as the bell went at the end of the first day and buses needed to be caught. Some people looked as though they didn’t want to go home. When all was said and done, at the end of the second day, it was a repeat performance of last year with Mellum being the eventual winners, albeit with a lead of only 34 points to Bunya in second place. Obi once again rounded out the podium, and will be looking to improve their results for next year.

Whether in the classroom, at a lunchtime concert in the school hall or performing in the wider community, our musicians carried on the noble tradition of music making – both for themselves and for the enjoyment of others. Mr Garry Jones, Music Subject Area Coordinator 2014 saw the Music Department introduce Certificate III in Technical Production. Pictured are TAFE tutor Mr Rohan Cottingham and graduates Katya Hall, Tai Lee and Stirling Shields. This will be the only cohort for this course, as State Government funding has been withdrawn. Congratulations to our Maleny student graduates for completing in record time. Music subject and Instrumental Music Programme students Christie Gicquel, Katya Hall and Chloe McNally playing as a trio on the school’s new four octave chromatic marimba. The large pitch range of the instrument allows for several students to perform together, and the diatonic note layout means that works in any key can be performed. Year 12 Music students Jeddha Bahloo and Meg Bonney performing a Vocal/Guitar duet on the Music Tour. The gig comprised six 30 minute concerts at six schools over two days in August. The tour has been an annual event since 2009. Oskar Campbell and Savana White performing during the Music Tour to the delight of the primary school audience pictured here. Consummate musicans, the incredibly talented pair performed at several lunchtime concerts throughout the year. With their now signature beautiful harmonies, Paris and Moriah Hudson share their considerable musical talents with an appreciative audience during the August Music Tour. Regular performers throughout the year, these fantastic musicians are destined for a wonderful musical future.

As the only audio engineers on the tour, they had plenty of work to do in setting up and operating the audio amplification system Mami Odagawa performing on piano at the July Brock Giblin Lunchtime Concert in the school hall. A Year 10 Music student on exchange from Japan, Mami performed at several concerts this year, including as principal pianist for the Arts Exposed opening item at the school concert in October. She has been a terrific musical ambassador for her country 64 Pictured left to right: Galen Sek-Reid, Oliver Whitaker, Wyatt Nicholls and Cayman Duthie performing in their band on the August Music Tour of six primary schools.

The ‘Secondary Schools Spectacular’ concert is designed for high school music students, and features a variety of repertoire from across several historical music periods. 65 Business, Digital Media & Technology Department It has been another busy year in the Business, Digital Media and Technology Department at Maleny SHS. The Year 8s have enjoyed learning some of the basics in Microsoft Word and Excel and improving their presentation skills in CAT which will, no doubt, come in handy when preparing assignments for all of their subjects in the next few years of their schooling life. The Year 9 CAT students have been able to expand their skills further, exploring the endless functions in Microsoft programs and learning skills they will continue to utilise for years to come. Particular attention was paid to the powers of Excel spreadsheets. Many students have come to realise how useful this program will be in many of their subjects. Year 9 JIT students created some excellent information kiosks and 2D games on Game Maker and started to learn the basics of Photoshop. There is an incredible amount of game design talent at Maleny State High School. Students focussed on developing platform games and it was clear to see that there were some influences from classics such as Mario Brothers. However, the iconic midi-music tones of past platformers were replaced with the current musical trend that is dubstep. Was it an improvement? Hard to tell, however the quality of the games was top notch! The 10 JIT students produced some fantastic websites and showed some real design flair, while others seemed to excel in the TV and Video Editing unit, creating some professional and humorous TV ads. Some of the animations created in Adobe Flash were rather elaborate and the JIT students finished off the year with Lego Mindstorm Robotics. 2014 has also seen Certificate I in Information, Digital Media and Technology introduced into the curriculum as a Year 10 elective. This subject allows students to earn a VET qualification upon successful completion of the course and “bank” 2 credit points towards their QCE. The course covers a range of competencies where students are able to build on their existing technology skills and explore their creative sides using a variety of programs and technology. The Year 11 students in Certificate II in Information, Digital Media and Technology further developed their IT and digital media skills across a range of competencies and also had the opportunity to pull apart a computer and reassemble it under the expert eye of our IT technician, Adam Flack. The Year 12s started the year by creating a 3D game demo in Unity, a game cover, insert manual and digital magazines. They moved on to maintaining IT equipment and kindly cleaned the desks, monitors and keyboards of all of the computers in our L01 computer room. Good luck to all the Year 12 students moving on to bigger and better things and we look forward to seeing the rest of you in 2015. Sandie Lewis, Simon Kranz & Christine Cassidy Industrial Technology and Design This year most Year 11 Manufacturing students should complete Certificate 1 in Furnishing and most Year 12 students will complete the QCAA (Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority) component of the course. Both components of the course will gain two points towards the QCE (Queensland Certificate of Education). Year 10 ITD have had a great year in the workshop with many students showing exceptional talent and skills in woodwork, metalwork and plastic, producing an engineering square, spice rack, and a copper ladle so far. Year 9 ITD have had a successful year with all classes participating in the design challenge whereby students made a wind chime. In 2015 we are offering separate classes in metalwork as well as woodwork and a great deal of interest has already been shown by students. Graphics, in all year levels, has seen the benefit of our computer programs (Autodesk Revit & Autodesk Inventor) being upgraded to the latest version. This enabled students to work on the most up-to-date graphics programs used in industry. We have also purchased an A3 colour printer which has been an enormous benefit to students, enabling them to print high quality A3 drawings for their assignment folios. Students are also able to download a student version of Autodesk Revit and Inventor to their laptops or home computers to allow them to work from home. Year 8 ITD classes have been filled with the sounds of hammering and chiselling. The wonderful creative minds of Year the 8s were put to the test by delving deep into the realms of Design, Make and Appraise. The design challenge was changed to a clock this year with some very impressive designs being produced. Their success was only outdone by their enthusiasm and commitment to their work. Well done Year 8! We hope to see you next year in Industrial Design and Technology. We are all looking forward to Yr 7 joining us in 2015 and are busy designing a new program to accommodate them. We are sure they will find it interesting, exciting and above all, fun. Wade Jacobson (HOD VETEC), Dan Jones, Matt Perina (ITD Teachers) 66 67 A Special Place to Achieve Special Education Program Sammy Grigor is our Cross Country Champion. After competing in the school cross country earlier this year Sammy won a place to compete in the Regional Championships and from there she went to Perth to run in the National Cross Country Titles. For her 3km run Sammy won a silver medal and was chosen for the relay where her team won a gold medal. In late October Sammy also competed in the Athletics with Disabilities Queensland Schools Track and Field Championships at the Brisbane Sports Athletics Centre. Sammy won three gold medals in her age group for 400m, 800m and 1500m. Sammy is applauded and congratulated on her fantastic achievements. Sammy’s goal is to one day run for Australia in the Para-Olympics. 2014 Student Achievements Poem by Jackie Irwin, Year 11 Happiness is a Way of Being Be aware of the gifts that we are given The beauty of our world is beyond imagination Easy to see if we open our hearts and our minds Thank the universe for all that is And be grateful for the life of ease we have. Tedious gated imaginations Don’t add happiness to our lives Sad disabilities are serious blessings in disguise Each day wasted with regret vanishes forever I easily have the time to see the beauty and expand my imagination I want just “to be” Mark Biddle in Year 12 has completed his Certificate II traineeship in Retail Operations and Jayden Checker in Year 11 has completed his Certificate III in Media. Well done to both students who have worked hard to achieve their goals. Maleny MAX The Arts Department at Maleny High is fortunate to attract a significant number of very talented young people from our community. Art, Dance, Music and Drama are rapidly increasing in numbers and quality of practice and outcomes. In order to offer students an activity to extend their talents and gifts we offered an extension camp in October 2014. At this camp the students engaged with core texts and experimented with skill development and expansion of their Arts knowledge and higher process thinking capability. Students displayed excellence in their respective fields. In two and a half days at Luther Heights, Coolum, students created the opening performance for ARTS EXPOSED, producing a magical performance combining all the disciplines. Our Arts students here at Maleny High are definitely stars in the making. originated as a type of French military training that now, in the modern world, has become a popular form of exercise and expressing yourself. Maleny MAX is a program supervised by Mrs Fredericks and Ms Jones for Year 8 students who have special talents that they wish to develop further. Our little group has a range of talents that includes: art, performance, music, academics, intellect, film and TV, computing and design. We meet every Wednesday during Morning Tea and Literacy. Our film project has given us all the chance to share and grow our talents together as we inspire others and make an impact on those around us. This year in Maleny MAX we searched for a project that could encompass such a diverse variety of talent, and yet allow us to collaborate and showcase what we enjoy doing. We decided to create a short documentary film that focuses on the mathematical and scientific principles behind the philosophy of ‘Parkour’. Parkour is a form of physical exercise that Zac Pirie (8A) 68 The Arts on Camp We are very grateful for the assistance of experts such as Mr Ward, Ms Penney, Ms Pollari and Mr Kranz who have helped us with our project. 69 Environmental Committee 2014 President : Ruby Nolen Vice President: Catherine Hills Secretary/Publicity Officer: Tilly Montgomery Treasurer/Fundraising Coordinators: Tyler Watson/Helena Power School Landscaping Project Coordinator: Matthew Newman/Katya Hall/Savana White Environment Week Coordinator: Maddy Hansen Clean-up Australia Coordinators: Ambrosia Muir/Ruby Nolen Community Clean-up Coordinator: Ambrosia Muir/Ruby Nolen Recycling Coordinator: Cheslyn Morris Battery Recycling Coordinator: Cheslyn Morris Expo Night Coordinator: Tilly Montgomery Year 11 Reps:Matthew Newman/Katya Hall/Catherine Hills Year 10 Rep: Alaia Bereziat Winner of the Earth Hour Challenge: OBI Winner of the Noosa North Shore Clean-up: OBI Winner of the Swimming Carnival Clean-up Challenge: BUNYA Winner of the House Pavement Art Competition for World Environment Day: OBI Overall Environment Shield Winner: OBI 2014 brought a year of fun and hard work for the Environment Committee. The start of the year kicked off with the organisation of the school’s annual Clean-up Australia Day competition, which sadly was postponed thanks to Maleny’s typical rainy disposition. This, however, wasn’t able to stop us keen environmentalists from making sure that a clean-up did occur. This resulted in a beautiful clean school and OBI taking the crown for the best litter pickup. With such an exciting start to the year, it’s hard to imagine that it could get any better. But it could and it certainly did. ating the beautiful environment week banner, really involved the school and helped us, as a committee, become closer. We’ve also been able to raise a good deal of money from the yearly Bunnings' sausage sizzle, which was a great way to round off a fantastic year. Watch this space Maleny, more fantastic things are sure to occur next year. Can Cage Finally Full “Reuse, reduce and recycle” is a motto that has been cherished by students at Maleny High for many years and this has once again been shown in the school’s recent dedication towards filling a large can cage located near the canteen. With slow progress being made over the past year, the Environment Committee launched a recent push to fill the cage to the brim. The can drive was accomplished through both ‘free dress’ days and ‘red food’ days with students and staff flocking to help fill the cage. Dedicated committee members - both staff and students - worked to encourage this recycling endeavour with great success as the cage was filled at the end of last term. In congratulating our school community on this achievement, recognition must also be given to the members of the Maleny community who assisted with can donations and the removal of the cage from the school grounds. The use of this cage not only helped to reduce the amount of litter on red food days, but also increased the amount of recycling undertaken in the school. Not only will this help us to create a cleaner school, but also a cleaner environment. Stan the Solar Man The Year 8s enjoyed a couple of hours learning about the many solar cookers presently in use which are relatively inexpensive and low-tech devices. Because they use no fuel and cost nothing to operate, many non-profit organisations are promoting their use worldwide in order to help reduce fuel costs (for low-income people), air pollution, and to slow down the deforestation and desertification caused by gathering firewood for cooking. A new can cage has been placed inside the front, top car park and donations of aluminium cans are always welcome. Madeleine Hansen Environment Week was definitely a highlight of the year. Working with the theme of “Save the Great Barrier Reef” many engaging and entertaining activities were organised for each day of the week. Festivities including nude food day, pavement art and cre- 70 71 The Art that was It has been a fantastic year. The Art Department has had the pleasure of teaching enthusiastic and talented young artists right from Year 8 to Year 12. It has been especially noticeable in the junior grades, where our classes produced outstanding work. Parents and community members visiting the school or our local area might have seen students' work showcased at Arts Exposed, Year 7 and 8 transition visits, the Creative Generation Excellence awards or viewed it in several galleries along the Hinterland Gallery Trail. Again, we had the pleasure of enjoying a day with Archibald Finalist, Dean Reilly, who spent a day with our most talented Art students. Students were given the task of drawing a chair, which then turned into a horse, which was then ridden by a rider. The unpredictability of the task produced some interesting and very imaginative work. Having the chance to paint for a full day gave students a small taste of what life as a professional artist is like. This year, a special award was given at the school’s Presentation Evening in memory of Jennifer Hardy - a talented and dedicated new teacher who started her teaching career here at Maleny High. Jennifer’s family wanted to instigate a special award for a special Art student that showed dedication and inspiration towards the Visual Arts. Bridie Dunham became the first recipient of this award. We are looking forward to teaching, fostering and encouraging new talent next year as we welcome the Year 7s to the school. No doubt our classes will be full, our lunchtimes will be busy, art materials will be applied and art works will flourish. Having an extra year in High School will surely produce even more outstanding results. 72 73 The Art Team: Helen Lyall, Kerry Jones and Arjan Murdoch Year 9 Emu Gully Camp - glorious mud It’s safe to say that the Emu Gully camp was definitely one to remember! When we arrived everyone was excited and ready to start some activities, but first we had to get into our groups: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta. The first day of activities brought us together as teams and got us excited for what was to come! On the second day we did rotational activities that were based around the Siege of Tobruk, the Tunnel Rats of Vietnam, Bridge over the River Kwai and The Western Front; all of which put a lot of us way out of our comfort zones. The mud was unquestionably the highlight for most of us and working together as a team to get each other through “The Kokoda Track”. On the second night we went on a blindfold walk with our teams, going up and down hills, through mazes, over logs and up cliffs. It undoubtedly challenged our communication skills, but in the end we pulled together and had an amazing night! On the last day, no one wanted to leave, although we left after an amazing effort of pulling a 5.5 tonne truck 730m, and then a flour bomb fight to top it all off! Emu Gully was definitely one of the best school camps that any of us had experienced and won’t soon be forgotten!

Over three days, we participated in several activities related to what we referred to as the ‘Triple Rs’. Students were observed for three particular qualities: resilience, self-reliance and responsibility. At the end of the camp, those students who had displayed all three qualities during the camp were offered the opportunity to become Year 8 Leaders. It was terrific to have almost the entire year level attend and the students impressed the teachers with their enthusiasm, cooperation and respectful attitude toward each other. What a great year level! We are looking forward to next year and another chance to enjoy another experience together at Emu Gully. 80 81 Fun on the Farm Cattle Show Team Gympie Team Maleny at Gympie Show: Cynthia Forster-Jones, Mr Colin Thompson, Claudia Candy, Emma-Lee Forster-Jones, Sarah Peters (Captain), Sharn Phipps, Sam Noble, Mr Paul Clarke. Yet another successful year at the Maleny Agricultural Department has been enjoyed by the school community. First of all, the quality of the winter vegetable harvest would make anyone think that we were in direct competition with vegetable producers from the Lockyer Valley. Students were involved in planting, caring and harvesting snow peas, cauliflower, broccoli and spinach which were all disease and pest free. A trial comparing free-range meat chickens to enclosed birds allowed students to make behavioural observations and feed and care for the animals. Valuable data was obtained by participating students to make their own conclusions based on the two production systems. Most importantly, the school hosted a Hoof ‘n Hook competition for approximately fifteen other local par- Group Hoof 'n Hook Sea of hats: students from the Wide Bay region who travelled to Maleny for the Inter-school Hoof 'n Hook. ticipating schools to show-off their best beef cattle. All participating students learned valuable knowledge and skills passed on by experts in the areas of grooming, presenting, feeding, leading and judging cattle. Guest speakers from industry as well as other professionals volunteered their time to enrich students and enable them to perform industry-based standards on animal care. Lastly, the Agriculture Department is looking forward to integrating the Year 7 curriculum into the school farm operations for 2015. Stimulating students' interests early in the importance of agriculture, where a basic understanding of food and fibre production occurs, will hopefully increase enrolments in Agriculture subjects at Maleny State High School. A big thank you to all the supporters of the Agriculture Department for 2014! OPEN GIRLS FOOTBALL (SOCCER) This year, as in previous years, Maleny State High School entered a team into the Girls Open A Division Inter-school Football Tournament, along with five other Sunshine Coast school teams. The team was made up of girls from grades 9 through to 12, all of whom were eager to have fun and win. Initially, there was a clear divide between those with soccer experience and those who were new to the game. But as the weeks progressed, our friendships strengthened and we began to play as a team. Perhaps the game that signified the beginning of the tournament was Game 2 against St. John’s A team. Three quick goals were scored in the first half, due in part to the efforts of striker Luisa Brodier. Although this boosted our confidence, we quickly had to go on the defence as St John’s put their own three in the back of the net. The rest of the game was quick-paced and intense, but Ellie Furlong’s perseverance in the midfield allowed two more goals to be scored by Maleny. At full-time, the score was 5 – 3, and we came away with our second win. Chickens Yr 9 Ag.

The games gave us opportunities to work together and to become better team players, as well as improving our skills. It was also a source of great enjoyment, while also providing the many benefits of exercise.

Thank you to Warren Cox (15 Years) and Tom Duggan (Opens) for their support and expertise each week; to the Bushrangers Rugby Club for the use of their grounds and facilities for our home games, and to all our parents, staff, ex-students, friends and siblings of players – who together helped make the atmosphere at game time exciting. 15 years Div. 2. Greg Coman Cup Regular season Round Robin – 2 pools combined Once again, Maleny had a team represented at the Grand Final night at Stockland Stadium. We went down 10-5 in a nail-biter to James Nash SHS from Gympie, losing by a try in the last 30 seconds. The entire team defended fiercely for the entire game against a monster pack of forwards. Owen Blinco had a great game and showed why he was regarded as the Best Player in the competition. The team displayed great courage and athleticism throughout the season and was ably led by captain, Reece Cox. Well done boys for an excellent season. Grand Final James Nash SHS 10 def.
