Year 7 Information for Parents
336 Year 7s have made a “flying start” to their Junior Secondary
education. The staff have all commented on the enthusiasm and
commitment to success being demonstrated so far. They look terrific in
their uniforms and we thank you for supporting our school in this.
Another area where we need your co-operation is in regards to the
procedures for parents/ visitors who wish to have access to school
grounds.
Most families have established effective pick-up and drop-off routines,
however parents need to be aware that they may only access the
school through signing in at the front office.
In the afternoons, parents are not permitted to wait for students under
the Junior Secondary building or outside classrooms unless they have
a specific reason to do this and have signed in at the front office.
You would appreciate that we have these procedures for the good
management of the school, the security of your students and because
it is a health and safety matter.
Should parents/carers wish to communicate with teachers, they should
make initial contact either by phoning 3824 9222 or by email and then
appointments can be made.
It is also not appropriate at any time for a parent to approach anyone
else’s student regarding a behavioural issue. If there is an issue you
should contact the relevant Deputy Principal and the matter will be
dealt with appropriately.
Thank you for your support in these matters.

Year 9 High Resolves
The IBDP will be offered to our current Year 9 students as they enter
the senior school. What is the IBDP? It is a rigorous international
curriculum delivered in over 115 countries incorporating the best
elements of several national educational systems with a focus on
academic rigour, an international perspective and the interrelationship
of all knowledge. It encourages students across the world to become
active, compassionate and lifelong learners who value differences and
diversity.
What are the benefits of an IB education? The advantages afforded to
a student earning an IB Diploma are many. Since the Diploma is
internationally recognised, universities throughout the world are eager
to admit IB students into their institutions because the IB Diploma
demonstrates that a student has knowledge and ability in many
academic areas as well as the theoretical and critical understanding of
the construction of knowledge.

http://clevelanddistrictstatehighschool.cmail2.com/t/ViewEmail/r/329...
On Thursday, March 5, the Student Leadership Team, as well as
members of our fabulous teaching staff, were invited to attend the
Zonta International Women’s Day dinner. Zonta International is an
organisation which prides itself on improving the living conditions of
women around the world by pursuing various health and education
initiatives, such as providing birthing kits, maintaining women's refuges
and providing fundraising assistance to local women's networks.
The dinner was used as an opportunity to present one of these
initiatives, the Zonta International "Young Women in Public Affairs"
Award, to recipient Erin Gow from Brisbane Bayside State College. In
previous years, Cleveland High's Olivia Hill and Emma Clinnick have
been recipients of this award.
The night was MC'd by Brisbane's talented Rupert McCall OAM, whose
poetry and storytelling provided for a fun and enjoyable evening.
Thanks to Zonta for a wonderful evening and for the tireless work you
do in supporting women in our community.

Year 9 Geography Excursion to Australia Zoo

http://clevelanddistrictstatehighschool.cmail2.com/t/ViewEmail/r/329...
On March 4, our Year 9 geography students and teachers visited
Australia Zoo. This is an important part of preparing for their
assessment, which requires them to create their own zoo enclosure
and information board. The students did themselves and the school
proud, having a funfilled and educational day.
Thank you teachers Mr Brennan, Ms McConnell, Mrs Dobson and Miss
Potaka for supporting the students on this excursion. We are very
excited to see the students’ final submissions for their assessment.
Cleveland High at State Beach Volleyball Titles
Eight teams of Cleveland High volleyballers competed in the State
Schools Beach Championships at Suttons Beach, Redcliffe on March
15 and 16.
Best performing teams on the day were the Senior Girls teams where
both teams contested medal playoffs. The team of Nicole Grobbelaar,
Hannah Gill, Kiah Ryding and Shannon Celliers won the Silver medal,
with the other girls’ team placing 4th overall.
The boys competitions proved ultra competitive, with not much
separating many teams. The boys’ senior team placed a creditable 6th
while the pairs team battled over the 2 days and was just edged out of
playoff contention.
The junior teams found playing on the beach in outdoor conditions a
big learning experience but had a great time, winning many sets but

Cyclone Pam Relief Appeal
30/03/2015 11:43 AM
6 of 19
http://clevelanddistrictstatehighschool.cmail2.com/t/ViewEmail/r/329...
Pango Village, just outside Port Vila, took a direct hit when Cyclone
Pam crossed Efate, Vanuatu on Friday 13 March. Initial reports and
photographs show that the community has been severely affected with
many roofs and shacks destroyed, trees uprooted, essential food
gardens lost and jobs in jeopardy.
Over the past 10 years, Cleveland High School has built a relationship
with Pango Village, with groups of staff and students undertaking
ambitious projects in the local schools and kindergartens. Staff and
students from our Sister School, Pango Centre School, have travelled
to Cleveland for PD and expanded education on three occasions.
We have had reports of substantial damage at our Sister School, and
the Lykuky Kindy building which our 2012 team helped to build has lost
part of the roof, fence, windows, and had some playground equipment,
toys and books ruined. A number of schools in the areas surrounding
our Sister School have had their libraries inundated with water.
Attempts to dry the books can only hope to be partially successful.
The residents of Pango have received food aid and tarps, but will need
help with the cost of more permanent repairs, etc. They will also
continue to need help with food for about 3 months until they can start
harvesting from their gardens again.
We want to show the beautiful people in our Sister School that
Cleveland High cares, so we are appealing to all school families, as
well as the wider community, to show compassion in two ways.
1) Please could you make a tax deductible donation to help rebuild the
schools, kindergartens, village infrastructure and homes of those worst
affected, as well as to provide emergency aid where needed? All
money raised will go to the relief effort in Pango and surrounding
areas. If you are able to make a donation please go to
www.beahero.org.au and click on Cyclone Pam Relief. The challenge
to our families is to donate what it would cost to buy one, two or more
bags of rice! Of course, if you are able to donate enough to help us buy
roof sheets and other building materials that would help so much.
2) Please could you start collecting books to be brought to the school
in Term 2? We have a plan to get the books to the worst affected
schools to help restore their libraries - so vital for a good education.
More information about this will be out next term.
If you have questions or would like updated information, please contact
Chappy Neale on 3824 9239.

Trash or Treasure
The Trash or Treasure was a great success, raising $2,600 for
Chaplaincy. A very BIG THANKYOU to all volunteers who helped out
with delivering flyers, setting up, selling and packing up on the day.
We really appreciate your continued support.

On Wednesday March 18, students and teachers from Cleveland
District State High School had the honour of attending a questions
session held by the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull, Minister for
Communications and the Hon. Andrew Laming, Member of Parliament.
(Pictured above: Teachers and students meet Malcolm Turnbull)
During this session, students from schools around the Redlands were
able to direct questions relevant to youth and communications to the
Minister, whose inclusivity allowed for a thoroughly enjoyable
conversation on topics such as gaming and media censorship. The
conversation was quite refreshing, as it allowed students an
unprecedented opportunity to have our thoughts shared and
considered in detail.
Overall, the afternoon was interesting and enjoyable, certainly
something that I would attend again. Many thanks to the Hon. Malcolm
Turnbull, Minister for Communications and the Hon. Andrew Laming,
Member of Parliament for taking time out of their busy calendars to
host such a fantastic afternoon.

Year 7 students from
Cleveland District State High
School have been involved in
these two projects for two years now. 144 families, 363 children, across
the Redlands were able to celebrate Christmas with presents and
food. 310 students were able to commence the 2015 school year with
all the necessary stationery, lunch boxes and school bags.
Thank you again to all those Year 7 students who have given back and
donated to the community over the past two years.
3D Printing Arrives!
Earlier this term the Industrial Technology Department took delivery
of a 3D printer. It is now set up in G5 and graphics classes are
currently creating physical prototypes of their designs.
In due course we will be able to have our Graphics and Technology
Studies students being involved in the full rapid prototyping design
process. A student will be able to start with a hand drawn concept
sketch, move to a 3D CAD model and then test out the idea with a
physical, scaled 3D printed plastic model – exciting times!

Debating
The 2015 Queensland Debating Union Secondary School Competition
has commenced and Cleveland is off to a strong start.
30/03/2015 11:43 AM
http://clevelanddistrictstatehighschool.cmail2.com/t/ViewEmail/r/329...
Our Year 9 team began the season by taking the negative side of the
topic, ‘That we should end the Melbourne Cup’ against Iona College.
Although they were narrowly defeated, the team gained valuable
experience and are gearing up for their next debate. The following
week saw Years 10 and 12 debate against Mansfield State High
School and Music Industry College respectively. Both teams were on
the affirmative side, with the Year 10 team arguing, ‘That we regret the
popularity of slum tourism’, while the Year 12 team debated, ‘That we
should ban school leavers from travelling overseas for "Schoolies"
celebrations’. Congratulations to both teams who skilfully defeated their
opponents. Finally, the Year 8/7 team had the difficult task of going up
against San Sisto College to take the affirmative side of the topic, ‘That
we should ban toys designed for (and marketed to) only one gender’.
The students were very nervous as it was their first debate ever. The
hard work that they put into preparing their arguments paid off as they
argued their way to victory!
Congratulations to our teams and coaches for their hard work. We wish
you the best of luck for round two of the competition.
The English Speaking Union Public Speaking

School participated in the Primary School Public Speaking Day.
Students learned how to use persuasive devices, elements of public
speaking and how to structure a persuasive speech. They then had
just over an hour to write and rehearse a persuasive speech. Although
this was a difficult task, the students eagerly rose to the challenge, with

With topics ranging from passionate pleas against pollution to why
theme parks are more dangerous than you might think, judges Sandra
Dennis, Head of English Department and school captain Alexandra
Tabrett had the hard task of choosing three winners. Congratulations to
