activities, that are aimed at growing the
whole person and providing students with
a wealth of experiences.
Also featured in this newsletter are
the Term 3 Academic Award winners

we recognise those students who
have achieved exceptional results
in their studies and this term we are
impressed with the increased number of
students receiving certificates for their
accomplishments. Students who have
shown a significant improvement in their
grades are also recognised and awarded
certificates. All these students are to be
congratulated on their hard work and
perseverance.

When did we go?
On the 20th of August the Year 5’s from
Charles Campbell College went for an
excursion to the Migration Museum. Our
class left at 11:10am and got on a bus
down at the Paradise Interchange. We
stopped for lunch at the Uni grasslands
(Scott Theatre) and then we walked down
to the Migration Museum.

The Museum
We got to the Migration Museum and
there were two men named Toby and
Ron. After we were split into two groups
one group with Toby and one group with
Ron, we went to all different types of
rooms that showed us what people were
like in 1900’s and that showed us what
it was like going and that showed us the
thing that they do at school.
By Myer

We went in to a hallway which had the
map of Australia and talked about the
different groups of people. Then Toby’s
group moved to a room that looked like

Games in the 1900s
The games in the 1900’s were very
different from today because there was
no electricity. Here are some of the
games we learned to play, ring toss,
hop scotch, knuckles and hoop tap. My
favourite is knuckles and now I have a
very similar game called Jacks and Ball.
By Amanda
Return to School
After we played games we walked to the
bus stop. We jumped on a public bus and
travelled to Paradise Interchange. Then
we walked back to school. We reached
school at 3:00pm. We enjoyed a lot and
we learnt about how people migrate to
another country.

Year 6 Market Stalls
Book Week
As part of the Year 6 Mathematics assessment task, students worked in small groups
to create and run a market stall business within our school kitchen community. During
this task, students had the opportunity to bake and cook a variety of nutritious foods
that they then sold to our Junior School students. In order to successfully complete
this task, students used their knowledge of fractions, decimals and percentages to
create recipes and shopping lists. Additionally, the students used their knowledge of
percentages and financial mathematics to create a budget cost sheet that outlined the
production cost, the profit, the cost of wages, advertisement costs and rent paid to
the market venue. During the running of the market stalls the students demonstrated
excellent team work, communication and sales skills. The students thoroughly enjoyed
this task and were able to develop a sense of what it would be like to run their own
business in the future.
Book Week 2015 was celebrated with an
activity unifying students from Reception
to Year 7 based on the book My Two
Blankets by Irena Kobald. Students
designed patches depicting belonging.
The patches will be put together to form
a large patchwork quilt connecting all
students across the Junior School and
will be displayed in the Library. Book
Week ended with a costume parade
with students from Reception to Year
9 dressing up as their favourite book
character. The focus this year was on
‘homemade’ with students making their
own costumes or elements of their
costumes.

One of the most important certificates
was for ACADEMIC IMPROVEMENT.
To achieve this, students must show a
10% or greater increase in the Grade
Point Average (GPA). At the start of
the term, all students calculated their
previous term’s GPA and set goals for
improvement, as such we were able
to present a lot of certificates. These
students put in a great deal of effort to
improve their grades and really deserve
the recognition:

Middle School students will be working
hard to complete assessment tasks in
the lead up to receiving their Term Four
reports. We encourage all students to use
their diaries to record homework, to meet
assessment guidelines and to ask for help
when needed. Every Tuesday there is
supervised ACADEMIC SUPPORT in the
Library from 3:10pm until 4:10pm. All Year
7, 8 and 9 students are invited to attend if
they would like a quiet place to do some
homework or an opportunity to have a little
bit of one on one support with their work.
Some students may also be requested to
attend if they have not submitted work or if
they received a GPA less than 3.0.
A subject that all students participate in
is a lesson program called PERSONAL
AND GLOBAL LEARNING. This lesson is
50 minutes per week and focuses on the
pastoral care and personal development
of students. This term, all Year 7, 8 and
9’s developed an Individual Learning Plan
and set goals for achievement. They have
been working though the Child Protection
Curriculum, learning about and discussing
issues such as the right to be safe, power
in relationships and abuse. In Term
Four all Year 7 and 8 students will be
reflecting on the learning they have done
this year and preparing for their Round
Table Assessments in Week Nine. Year 9
students will have a focus on employability
skills and resume writing.

an opportunity to grow as a performer and
create memories I’ll cherish forever with
an incredible group of performers.”
Darcy Bensted
“Instinct wasn’t just about completing the
performance side of the subject to get a
“grade”... It was about getting to share
my passion for dance with an audience,
and getting to express myself in each of
the different pieces... There genuinely
was a lot of blood, sweat and tears during
the process (even injuries) and no one
besides us really sees that. They see
the performance but don’t realise just
how many hours we’ve rehearsed and
what we’ve given up to get there. But
even through all of that.... it is so worth it!
Getting to dance on that stage, giving it
everything... it’s the greatest feeling! And
coming out of it all with life-long friendships
is the icing on the cake.”
India Bennett
“On the 8th and 9th of September around
100 students from year 7 and up at Charles
Campbell College performed in the
Stage 2 Dance Exam and selective entry
showcase “Instinct” at the Odeon Theatre.
In the show there were various styles of
dance choreographed by our teachers
Mary-Lou Michael and Kim McCarthur,
as well as graduates Tyson Olsen and
David Placentino, well known professional
choreographers Leigh Warren, Lisa
Loreno, and guest choreographers Aiden
Munn and Rachael Symons.”
Maddi Koop
“It’s always a joy to perform with the Year
12’s, and they will be highly missed at our

incredible job, and we can all agree that
we are very proud of them and what they
have accomplished.”
Alana McDonald
“This year’s examination had some
of the most diverse styles of dance I
have seen to date at Charles Campbell
College. Not only did I enjoy performing
in support of the Year 12s, but also to
have been a part of such an energetic

involved in all three moderations has been
an amazing experience that I will treasure
long after I leave school. Overall, it was
great to be able to share ideas with so
many different people, and interact with
them in an innovative and creative new
way that is inconspicuous to the naked
eye.”
Holly Fennell
“Instinct was the most well executed
Stage 2 Dance Exam we have ever
experienced. All of us had some of the
most fun because of the dances our
talented choreographer’s choreographed.
The 2015 Year 12s had some of the most
interesting and diverse dances, from the
Fosse inspired Jazz to Animal Instinct.
Overall, Instinct was an exhilarating
and entertaining performance that blew
everyone away.
PS: Bye to all the Year 12s and thanks for
a great year.”
Benjamin and Christopher
“The atmosphere on and off stage for
this dance showcase was incredible.
All students worked for a whole term on
their dances trying to perfect their steps
and get stage ready. Setting up for the
dress rehearsals and performances in
the Odeon Theatre was such an exciting
experience for the people who have never
performed in a theatre before. I hope that
this performance exam encourages more
and more people to join next year’s Stage
2 Performance Exam.“
Samara Maitland
“I’m proud of the Year 12’s, but also
the number of male dancers who have
decided to join our Arts family. In total
we had an average of 25 boys in this
showcase, which is extremely rare
in dance. Special hats off to Cooper
and Jayden-Hesse, who have not
only created a joyous atmosphere but
also dedicated themselves to constant
rehearsing and dancing to perform at the
best of their abilities! Thank you boys and
I hope that this encourages more males
to participate in the Performing Arts.”
Jayden Nolan
“The finale was really fun to perform and I
enjoyed how all the year levels combined
to perform to a remix of “Circle of Life”
from the Lion King, choreographed by
Rachel Symons.”
Jasmine Tarrant
“Instinct enabled me to broaden my
horizons in both a social and creative
way.”
Jack Kotek
“I am really grateful that I got to perform
in the Stage 2 “INSTINCT” Dance
Exam. Our class got to work with David
Placentino to produce a Salsa/Hip Hop
partner dance titled Girlfriend, which
we performed as part of Instinct, I really
enjoyed working to create this piece.
The finale was really fun because all the
year levels came together and joined to
perform a remix of the Lion King’s, ‘Circle

Kailia Baldock
“Instinct was not only a performance
but was a journey that every single
one of us took together. The hours of
rehearsals behind the scenes made up
the amazing show the audience saw. It
was an experience that I would go back
a hundred times and do again.”

International News
Term 3 has been very hectic. We welcomed over 30 new International students commencing for varying lengths of time, and we
had three study tours visiting CCC, with 2 from Japan and 1 from Korea.
Hakuo High School, which is our sister school, sent 12 students, whose assigned CCC buddies were our Year 10 and 11 students,
who are travelling to Japan at the end of this term on the first CCC Japan Study Tour. Our students will visit Hakuo and see their
buddies again for their school Cultural Festival, and then they have a very full itinerary, including Tokyo Disney, Kyoto the ancient
capital and a trip on the bullet train.
Kadoma City students came here for a week as their prize for winning an English presentation competition. They did their
presentations for their buddies and homestays, who were all very impressed with their work.
Cheongju students from Korea joined Year 6 and 7 classes for their time here. They performed a Korean dance for their farewell
ceremony and then all the students enjoyed shared pizza and fruit.

Industry Workshops
Over the past term the school has embarked on an exciting journey of providing
valuable Industry Information Workshops for our students in Years 10-12 to attend. The
industries were selected following a student survey to ascertain information as to which
career pathways were most in demand. Results from the survey were collated and
contact was made with numerous industry areas to provide what has turned out to be
invaluable learning opportunities for our students, and an opportunity to gain valuable
insights into the career opportunities that are available within their chosen field as well
as the school and post school pathways that will enable them to achieve their career
and what is required to achieve their goals.
I would like to thank members of the UNISA, Adelaide University and Flinders University
teams for their guidance of our students looking to undertake a University pathway
post school, the team from PEER who supported our students looking at a Plumbing,
Electrical and Refrigeration pathway, Rachael Savage who supported those students
looking at a Childcare/Teaching pathway, Anne Morris from the Australian Nursing
and Midwifery association for helping those students interested in Nursing and Health
related careers and AIE (Academy of Interactive Entertainment) for supporting those
students with a Computer Game Design/Programming focus.
In Week 1 Term 4 we will be hosting our final workshop with members of our Defence
Forces providing a workshop for those students thinking at a career within the forces.

Wales v Uganda
Jamaica v Scotland
Tuesday 11th August
Trinidad and Tobago v Zambia
Malawi v Uganda
New Zealand v Jamaica
Australia v England
On the Tuesday morning, the girls had a
fitness session at a local park and were
fortunate to have four of the Australian
Diamonds players walk past. They were
quite excited to have a photo with the girls.
The final game on the Tuesday was very
exciting to watch and showed the girls
how fast paced and skilful the players
have to make it to the Elite Netball status
in Australia. The stadium was very loud,
and the girls frequently joined in with the
cheer led by Tamieka.
Overall, our school trip to the Netball
World Cup in Sydney is an experience us
girls are sure to never forget. We had the
amazing opportunity to be able to watch
some of the world’s top sides go head to
head in nail biting games. This trip enabled
us to watch how true professionals play
the game and how we can improve the
way we play. Running into a few of the
Australian Diamond players after one of
our morning fitness trainings, was by far
the biggest highlight of the trip, and being
able to have a chat and a photo with the
girls we travelled all the way from Adelaide
to see. We got to roam around Sydney
and see some famous attractions like the
Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney
Opera House, which was something I’d
love to experience again. Many of us
have grown stronger friendships and
even gained some new ones over those
four days. We are so grateful we had
such great teachers who organised and
prepared the trip for us. We’d love to have
an experience just like this one again.

The experience of witnessing the Netball Elyse Morris
World Cup was quite interesting. Seeing MATHS COORDINATOR
these high-level teams made you
question how much training, exercise
and other health related practices each
team member experiences, on a dayto-day basis. This also made you think
about your own habits, health and fitness
wise. Seeing their form and technique
made you compare your technique to
theirs. I personally assessed the defence
techniques of many players and have
now tried to incorporate these techniques
into my own game. Even though it was
an entertaining experience mainly, there
was a lot to learn from these professional
teams.

Ski Trip
Our journey to the snow started with the unavoidable 16 hour bus ride, which was mostly quiet, peaceful and relatively relaxing
with a few lucky people getting two seats to themselves so they could stretch out get comfortable, and even sleep.
The first sight of snow got everyone’s attention and many just couldn’t contain their excitement with squeals of delight and the
sound of camera shutters filling the coach. On arrival at Mt Hotham village bags were unloaded; lunch eaten and we were then
fitted for gear, after which we all suited up for the first lesson. Some people wanted to go on the ski runs before even knowing
how to strap in to their equipment due to the ample snow on the slopes and in the village. The first lesson was about getting the
basics right, learning how to use equipment and being safe on the mountain, laughs were common when people couldn’t stop,
and regularly fell over.
Learning on the Big D and Summit (beginner slopes) was the order for the first few days until we could seek out more challenging
runs, lots of falling had most people very sore and bruised without dampening spirits too much. Jokes from instructors kept spirits
high, some of these included: How do you know if someone is a snowboard instructor? Don’t worry, he will tell you. And how does
a snowboarder introduce himself? Sorry.
Night skiing was fun with the lights shining over the Big D and most students spending 2-3 hours skiing and boarding under them,
honing the skills that they had acquired over the previous three days. Many Charles Campbell students were some of the last to
come in off the slopes and possibly would have kept going all night long given the opportunity.
Later in the week more of the mountain was explored. The Orchard was amazing but getting there was a bit of a trek, some “quality
stacks” happened though but fortunately with no serious injuries. A small group of students even managed to tackle SPARGO’S
(a black slope) on the last day which is quite an achievement after only 5 days experience. All the students had a great time and
progressed well throughout the week.
It was sad it all had to come to an end. The journey home was hard, another 16 hours on the bus with lots of tired and sore bodies
catching up on sleep they missed in the excitement of the week. However, we are sure that laughs, sharing of photos, videos and
exaggerated stories will ensure the memories of a fabulous week will last long in the minds of all who participated.
