Last Monday, at our Sports Awards Evening, we acknowledged the great work of our sporting teams and athletes. Congratulations to all those who received awards and a special mention to our three top awards winners, Elly Buckholz - Junior Sportsperson of the year, Jason Castle - Senior Sportsman of the year and Sabrina Savill - Senior Sportswoman of the year. A full list of our major sports’ award winners can be found in this newsletter. not attend the Valedictory will be required at school on Friday, November 20 to complete QCAA attendance requirements for certification. I look forward to seeing all Year 12 students and their parents/carers at the Valedictory Ceremony to officially farewell them from our school. Our next Parents and Citizens’ Association meeting is on this Wednesday, October 28 beginning at 7pm. Please join us at this meeting. Regards, Jim Box Upcoming Events Awards Night: Tuesday, October 27 P and C Meeting: Wednesday, October 28 Free Dress Day: Friday, November 6 We continue the celebration of student success at our Awards Night this Tuesday, October 27, where we will recognise the outstanding academic, artistic and citizenship achievements of our students. There will be three more inductees onto the school’s ‘Wall of Excellence’, so please join us at our premier night for student recognition. Thank you to our Year 12 students for a great night at your formal. It is always amazing to see these young men and women in their suits and gowns enjoying themselves. It was a night that will long be remembered by students and staff. Our Year 12 students now face a very busy period as they race towards the end of their schooling. All Year 12 students have some very important assessment to complete before they can relax and I ask all parents and carers to encourage their students to work right up to the end of their exams. So much can be gained in these last few weeks and the reverse is also true, so much can be lost. Year 12 exams will commence on Wednesday, November 11. Parents are reminded that Year 12 students are only required to attend school for their scheduled exams and they must be in full school uniform, including correct footwear. We will farewell our Year 12 students at the Valedictory Ceremony on Thursday, November 19. This is an invitation only event and students are required to wear their formal uniform for the Valedictory, including the correct shoes.

Industry Pathways Caboolture State High School offers a variety of subject options for students in the senior school. More and more, there are also a range of industry pathways which are available in conjunction with students’ senior studies. Currently, some of the industry pathways on offer include: • Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care • Certificate II in Automotive Servicing • Diploma of Business • Certificate II&III in Health Support Services • A range of TAFE courses (some with a fee, some are free) • A range of vocational courses from other providers. At any time throughout the year, students can come to the Senior Schooling HOD office (administration building) and see the industry pathways list. SENIOR SCHOOLING NEWS QCS Test A huge congratulations to all of the Year 12 students who sat the QCS test at the end of Term 3. The QCS test was conducted on 1 and 2 September in the school hall. Students were provided with a range of fruit and juice for breakfast, and then provided a healthy bread roll for lunch. The two days were exhausting for everyone involved, but the Year 12s should be congratulated for their prompt attendance on the day, as well as their enduring efforts throughout the two days. This year, the Year 12 QCS individual results will be available to students via the student connect website after 9am Wednesday, 18 November. Students will need their LUI number (located on school ID card) to log in to student connect. Year 12 Leadership Camp 2016 It is a Caboolture State High School tradition that Year 12 students attend a leadership camp in the first three days of the school year. For 2016 Year 12s however, rather than attending camp in January, the camp will now be at the end of Year 11 in 2015. The new dates for the Senior Leadership Camp are November 25-27. Further information about the camp, permission notes and payment information was handed to students last week. Year 11 students in vocational courses with structured work placement please note: It is usually timetabled into the school calendar that all Year 11 students in vocational courses with compulsory work placement, attend this during Week 8 of Term 4. This year 2 Amy Thompson HOD – Senior Schooling YEAR 11 NEWS Term 4 has kicked off with a bang, with the Year 11s hitting the ground running. We have a shortened term with block-examinations, so have a very busy five weeks ahead. In the past, the Senior Leadership camp has occurred in the first three days of Year 12. This year, a school decision has been made to ease the transition into the new school year, to hold the Leadership camp in the last week of Year 11. The new dates for the Leadership camp are 25 to 27 November 2015. The Leadership camp takes place at Noosa’s Northshore and is designed to promote team-spirit, nurture leadership, and foster new relationships with their peers. More details, regarding this camp, were given to students last week. At the end of Term 3, a number of students nominated for School and Vice-Captains. This is a multi-stage process, requiring students to nominate, respond to selection criteria, write and perform a speech in front of peers and staff, and attend an interview process - much like a job application. In this process, students nominate and respond to why they make the ideal leader for Caboolture State High School for 2016. With such a high calibre of applicants, I know the school leaders for 2016 will make excellent role models. The School and Vice-Captains will be announced at Valedictory, on 19 November, in front of the current Year 12 cohort and families. During the Leadership camp in November, students will also vote for their House Leaders and Captains of their houses. Nominations for this were due 16 October. Students who have nominated for leadership positions in 2016 have a selection criteria they have responded to. With such a strong group of athletes in the current Year 11 Cohort, our sporting carnivals will be led by excellent Leaders and Captains in 2016. Following in tradition, the current Year 11 student body voted on a jersey design. The winning jersey was designed by our Jersey Committee. In Week 1 of Term 4, a note was sent home to all families regarding the 2016 Senior Leaders Jersey. Jerseys are $69.85, payable to the Cashier. There are two key dates to keep in mind for jerseys and payment. Deposits of $35 for jerseys and names for jerseys were due Friday, 23 October. Remaining balance, in full, is due 12 February 2016. Students have been attending jersey sizings during house-group over the last two weeks, with a final make-up sizing to be on Monday, 26 October during second lunch. Over the September school holidays, I had the pleasure of attending the Annual School Ski Trip to Perisher. This year, four Year 11 students attended. Corey Carroll, Steele Ford, Nathan Francis and Grace Fenwick spent four days on the slopes, all snowboarding at Mount Perisher. The maturity, willingness, and adventure displayed by these students during the six day trip was commendable, despite the bus dance moves and dreaded creek challenge. Expressions of interest for the ski trip will be out later this term. This is an extra curriculum excursion, but provides students with the opportunity to experience snow with their peers. With so much going on over the next five weeks at school, stress management and looking after yourself will be paramount. It is a good time to focus on making sure we are eating properly, getting plenty of sleep, and taking 30 minutes to exercise. Enjoy the term, I’m looking forward to reading out the names of our leaders for 2016 and fostering those positive relationships on Leadership camp.

The course will be run during Period 4 on Wednesday arvos and will cover topics such as communication, future goals, time management, home life, stress and school, and health and wellbeing. For more information, or to join up, please give me a buzz on 0408 709 441 or drop in and see Guidance Officer, Mr Palmer. Andrew Hakanson School Based Youth Support Coordinator JUNIOR SECONDARY NEWS As we welcome Term 4, I hope our Junior Secondary students are taking advantage of the last opportunities, academic and otherwise, available to them at their current year level. The following are a few things that are coming up over the next seven weeks. Term 3 report cards have been distributed and therefore PRIDE letters will be on the way in the post shortly. To achieve PRIDE status, students must receive all Excellent and/or Very Good in Effort and Behaviour on their report card. Our final PRIDE excursion will be occurring on Monday, 7 December with the students booked in at Aussie World on the Sunshine Coast. Congratulations to those students who will be eligible to attend this trip. Our Year 8 students have been participating in literacy and numeracy rotation sessions during access this semester and this program will continue to run into Term 4. Our Year 8s are also currently participating in the process of nominating and selecting their Junior Secondary Captains and House Leaders who will be appointed by the end of this term. If your child would like to nominate to participate in the Leadership process, they need to speak to Ms Pinney in K-Block ASAP. 3 I encourage all students to continue trying their best right up until the last day of Term 4, bringing the right equipment, wearing the correct uniform, handing in assessment and studying hard for their final end of year exams. Sarah Brady HOD - Junior Secondary YEAR 8 NEWS As the year draws to a close, it is hard to believe that the Year 8s have almost finished their first year of high school. As usual, students have been busy participating in various school events and activities. On 9 September, the school celebrated R U OK Day by hosting a sausage sizzle to create awareness for mental health. Students were encouraged to take this opportunity to ask their peers “R U OK?” At the end of each term, students who demonstrate the school’s values of PRIDE are rewarded by taking part in an excursion to a theme park. For Term 3, we took 15 Year 8 students to Movie World. It was great to see those students enjoying themselves on the rides and having fun, knowing that they have given everything they can to their studies. As a part of the Year 8 High Resolves and Global Citizenship program, students are encouraged to give back to the local community. This semester, the Year 8 cohort have been running the Friends of the Street Food Drive to raise much needed funds for the Wunya Support Centre who provide food for the disadvantaged of Caboolture. The Junior Secondary Leadership selection process for 2016 has also officially begun. As Year 9 leaders, the Junior Secondary Captains, Vice Captains and House Leaders will be responsible for building team spirit and organising and running events in 2016. The Junior Secondary leadership selection process is outlined below for students who are wishing to become leaders in 2016: impressive. This shows what our students are capable of and I’d like to commend all of them for their efforts. Thursday, 10 September saw R U OK Day promoted by Year 7 leaders. The purpose of this was to foster positive discussions about wellbeing at our school. It was an important day to raise awareness for this important cause and to remind students about the support they can access at school. This was further reinforced with activities in their Access lesson. Year 7 leaders assisted with a luncheon on the day and this gave them a hands-on role during the event. Term 4 began with the girls being reintroduced to Mrs Brady and Mrs Everitt: our Head of Department for Junior Secondary and our Student Mentor. This information session was set up to discuss how to maintain positive relationships with others as well as discuss resilience building strategies. The girls reported that they found the session fun and entertaining – a big thank you to Mrs Brady and Mrs Everitt! The boys were mature and respectful during their information session with Josh Woods, our School Chaplain. All students were given the opportunity to ask questions and we did our best to answer as many as we were able to. I’d like to acknowledge the unsung heroes who have done so much for our students this year. The ladies in C block go above and beyond to assist with organising events for the cohort thank you to Ms Haynes, Ms Long and Ms Dutka. As the school year comes to a close, it is interesting to note that the current Year 7s will be graduating in 2020. I’m sure the time will fly by just as this year has. Have a safe and restful summer break, Imran Sirdar Year 7 Coordinator Jade Pinney Year 8 Coordinator R U OK Day helpers - Leah R U OK Day helpers - Zarda Pearson, Taylah Abrahamson, Matesic, Cameron Ashford, Sienna Muller & Tahlia Ferriman Rhys Ferguson & Jesse Smith YEAR 7 NEWS This has been a momentous year, not just for the students, but also for community members and teachers alike. Our inaugural Year 7 cohort has been filled with significant success stories and the students report that they are ready and well-equipped for life in high school. The percentage of Year 7s that received a PRIDE letter for exemplary behaviour and effort in Term 3 was 4 R U OK Day supporters - Wellbeing Team - Mrs Brady, Huban Muaki & Logan Murray Ms Pinney, Mrs Everitt & Mr Sirdar SAND AND SEA … AND SPIDERS - YEAR 9 AND 10 GEOGRAPHY MORETON ISLAND ADVENTURE “Do we really have to leave?!” was the consensus about our 2015 Geography Moreton Island Adventure. This year we saw even more of the island on our two day camp and ‘WOW’, what an adventure it was. The day began early but before we knew it we were on the high seas and gliding over the waters of Moreton Bay to our destination. The views from the catamaran were beautiful and the first of many ‘things to remember’ about the trip. Let’s start with the wildlife for I guess once we got onto the island, it was the wildlife that caught everyone’s attention … some of the biggest spiders anyone had seen! These were friendly: not so the inquisitive curlew guarding its chicks …. and preventing entrance to one of the tents! More importantly, though, was the wildlife we came to see: multiple whales breaching close to shore at Cape Moreton and the myriad of fish we saw while snorkelling the Tangalooma wrecks. The schools were so thick it was amazing. Snorkelling was only one of many fantastic experiences: we drove on rough 4WD tracks and across pristine beaches; we swam in tidal pools and freshwater lakes; we sand-boarded down huge dunes; we gazed at sunsets; we sat under the stars and chatted around our camp fire. It was a hugely rewarding two days. ‘Many thanks’ are due to those who made the day a success: you the students for your exemplary behaviour; Mrs Stanger and Mrs Burton for their valuable assistance; and Livio/Olivio, our guide and driver from Sunrover Tours (http://www.sunrover.com.au), who was simply wonderful. Stay tuned for where our 2016 adventure might take us. Mr Boxall Geography Teacher SUNSHINE COAST: SUNSHINE BEACH, PARADISE CAVES AND NOOSA NATIONAL PARK – YEAR 11 GEOGRAPHY August 14 produced an absolutely beautiful day for our Year 11 Geographers to head to the Sunshine Coast to study Coastal Management. First stop was the beautiful Rocky Coast Reserve between Point Arkwright and Coolum Heads where we learnt about coastal processes and got some ideas about managing this scenic area. Our main study area was the northern section of Sunshine Beach and the spectacular Paradise Caves in Noosa National Park. After a short walk to the beach, students settled to take notes about environmental and management issues along the beach and how to deal with these. This was followed by a walk along the beach to the headland. The climb to the top of the headland, although a little rocky, was easily managed by all students. As always, it was well worth the effort: the views of the caves, the waves crashing onto the headland, and the beaches to the south were, quite simply, breathtaking. Once again, students noted the erosional processes at work and looked at possible solutions to environmental processes to manage the area. After the long walk back to the bus, students topped off the day with a well-earned lunch at the Sunshine Beach shops. Some students’ thoughts of the day: • ‘A fun, educational day which was good to expand our knowledge of the research for our assignment.’ (Kate) • ‘A good day out at the beach, learning about Geo while having a good time.’ (Lucas) • ‘The day taught me a lot. It was nice being around the lovely scenery and was an enjoyable experience.’ (Chantelle) • ‘A major help in completing our assignment and making the subject interesting.’(Rachel) A big thank-you goes to Mr Boxall and Mr Spaull (pre-service teacher) for their help on the day. As well, I would like to thank all the students who worked hard to make the day a success. Mrs Stanger Geography Teacher 5 ICT – BIG DAY IN ICT Services have been very busy getting ready for the roll out of the eJunior and eSenior programs next year. Our 2016 model aims to offer a highly supported ICT environment through providing two purchasing options for parents. An outline of these and other options can be found here. A small group of Year 10 LearnIT students attended the ACS Foundations “Big Day In” held at QUT. Students listened to lead speakers from companies such as Microsoft, Westpac, IBM, WiseTech Global and Adobe talking about the future of technology and how students can get involved in shaping the future. One of our lucky students even walked away with an Xbox One from the day. The Year 10 LearnIT students are nearly finished their Certificate II in Information, Digital Media & Technology. Lilly Wease wrote this reflection of Term 3 in the LearnIT program: “Throughout Year 10 LearnIT so far, we have explored many interesting topics ranging from creating games, social media study, hardware and software, flash animation and premier pro. This year has been super fun with many great opportunities towards our future. My favourite topic this year would have had to be GameMaker as it was easy to work with and is an exciting program. I am looking forward to eSenior in the near future. We have all had so much fun this year and can’t wait to get our Certificate II!” LearnIT enrolments for next year are nearly finalised and offers will be sent out soon. Looking forward to a busy Term 4. Anne Strahan A/HOD - ICT Services YEAR 12 ANCIENT HISTORY STUDENTS FIND RELIGION On Thursday, 17 September, students of Year 12 Ancient History travelled to Brisbane to investigate a number of Eastern religions associated with their unit on “The Religions of Ancient China and India”. In the morning, they visited the Chung Tian Temple at Priestdale. Students were given a tour of the Bodhisattva Hall and other areas of the Buddhist complex. They were shown how to meditate, practise Chinese calligraphy and were involved in an offering ceremony to the Bodhisattva. The newly built Pagoda and the museum with its statues of Buddha and models of the Entombed Warriors were highlights. The visit to the Chung Tian Temple, set in its beautiful parks and gardens, was amazing. At lunchtime, we made our way to Chinatown in Fortitude Valley for a delicious Chinese banquet at the Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant which is famous in Brisbane for its wonderful food. Students had time then to stroll through the Chinatown Mall to soak up the atmosphere. After lunch, we travelled to Breakfast Creek to visit the Chinese Temple Society. The Breakfast Creek Temple, built in 1885, contains elements of Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism and is dedicated to Queensland’s early Chinese pioneers. In the late afternoon, we toured the Evergreen Daoist Temple at Deagon. This Temple is a splendid structure on a grand scale with its huge ceremonial doors, statues of Daoist gods, murals, paintings and architecture. Feng Shui had been used to design the complex and there’s evidence of Yin and Yang principles all around. It was a pleasure to take the Year 12 Ancient History students on their excursion because of their cooperation and good humour. They looked very well presented in their formal uniforms and received praise for their behaviour at the various venues, especially at the Chinese Restaurant. A big thank you must go to Mrs. Creffield, my fellow Ancient History Teacher, and Josh Woods, our School Chaplain, for accompanying us on this important excursion and helping with supervision. Overall, it was a truly wonderful day. Ms Harman Ancient History Coordinator Q.H.T.A.
