e bulletin 5 - Kinross College
No. 5 – Term 2 : 29 March 2015 Kinross College: 9306 6000 www.kinrosscollege.wa.edu.au DATES FOR YOUR DIARY – 2015 April 30 Interim reports ‐ home with students 4 Parent / teacher interview evening 3.30 – 7.00pm 4 College Board meeting 6.30pm 7 Yr 10 Lightning carnival 11 P & C meeting 6.00 pm May 12‐15 NAPLAN testing Years 7 and 9 Dear Parents and Caregivers At the end of first term, on Thursday 2 April, we recognised our students who excelled during Term One. I would like to congratulate these students for their perseverance, responsibility and effort during the term. A full list of the award winners is contained within this bulletin. Everyone and indeed every student, has the opportunity to achieve to their own full potential. Research tells us that those students who persevere, take their education seriously and simply give their best to all opportunities will have a far greater chance of success in all aspects of their lives. In terms of what a student did yesterday and what they do now, will in the majority of cases be what they will do tomorrow. In other words there is no better time to start taking their education seriously than today, as sure enough, there is another student in another school, who will take that job, that career, or that place at TAFE or University. If individuals don’t start taking their educational opportunities seriously now, giving it their best efforts, these opportunities will be taken by others. On Friday 24 April we conducted our Anzac Day service. I was very impressed and proud of all students of Kinross College, who behaved appropriately and gave the ceremony its rightful dignity. A huge thanks to Ms Tina Nottle, in particular and the many staff who had a part to play in making the ceremony memorable for all who attended. The Kinross College Rangers led the service with all the military style and ceremony that such an occasion demands, receiving high praise from all visiting dignitaries. Many of the same Rangers participated in the Anzac Day march through Perth on Saturday 25 April. I think the effort and behaviour of all students at Kinross College demonstrate what a fine group of students we have and how they can all rise to an occasion.

During the first term holiday break, 29 Kinross Police Rangers unselfishly gave up their time to work with local police from the Clarkson and Mindarie stations in a community service program promoting security. During the course of two days the students assisted police to fit anti‐theft screws on vehicle licence plates. Over 100 cars were fitted with these security measures. Overall, there was excellent feedback for our Police Rangers from the Police and community members involved on both days. Particular reference was made to their positive interactions with the public and excellent use of initiative. TERMINATION OF THE TAX FILE NUMBER (TFN) PROGRAM THROUGH SCHOOLS The Australian Government is strengthening proof of identity (POI) processes through a standardised national approach for government agencies. The Secondary Schools TFN program does not comply with these guidelines which require sighting and verification of original proof of identity documents. How can students apply for a TFN? Applying online and presenting POI documents at a participating Australia Post Office is the fastest and most convenient way for students to get a TFN. More information on applying online can be found at ato.gov.au by searching for ’QC27248’ Students who are unable to visit a participating Australia Post office will need to complete the application form ‘Tax file number – application’ or ‘enquiry for individuals’ form (NAT 1432). More information about lodging this form can be found at ato.gov.au by searching for ’QC22604’ THE ROLE OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Hello, my name is Danielle Gilsenan. I am one of the nurses allocated from the Northern Metropolitan Community Nursing Team to Kinross College. Our nursing team covers a number of high schools across the region and is available on different days during each school term. This availability can be accessed via the front office at the College. So what do we do in schools? Our work primarily concerns prevention of illness rather than cure. This includes, but is not exclusive to; • Providing access to students for primary health care and health counselling, • Referral to health and other services, • Monitoring and follow up of students at risk, • Exploring students’ individual health options, • Assisting students to make personal decisions and setting goals, • Working with the College to promote health initiatives such as mental health topics within the Personal Development Programme, • Supporting teachers to identify, monitor and manage health conditions within the classroom and wider school community, • Supporting teachers in health‐related curriculum, • Providing information and advice to students and their families so they may make informed decisions about their health, well‐being and development. Our health service is not designed to provide care for sick students, or supply medications and medical supplies. In the event of students becoming sick or sustaining an injury whilst at school we ask that you provide the school with information listing emergency contact people (three contact people if possible) who would be available to arrange transport, care and treatment for your child as required. Within the fortnightly e‐bulletin we will be discussing a different topic in relation to health that parents can assist, support or discuss with their child. Some examples of topics include resilience, self‐image issues, anti‐bullying, immunisation, drugs and alcohol, cyber safety etc. We hope that you find this information useful. Please feel free to email or ring a member of the Community Health Nursing team for further advice or assistance, or if there is a topic you would like to see in the e‐bulletin.
