ge Welcome back everyone and best wishes for a productive term 4. We will continue to ensure that COVID-9 safety precautions are in place across the school as we move towards the end of the year.

In accordance with the size of our school, during Term 3 our two Associate Principal positions were upgraded and a Department of Education open merit process was conducted to fill these positions. I am delighted to advise that Derek Weeks and Timothy Barraud were both successful. Derek’s position will now be known as Senior School Principal and Timothy’s will be Junior School

Principal. Congratulations to Derek and Timothy, and also to Michelle Terret, who undertook a similar process to be substantively appointed as our Head of Department – Student Life. There has also been a change for another of our classified officers, with Kristie Pugliese being appointed to the position of Head of Department – English at the new Brisbane South State Secondary College that will open to students next year. Kristie’s leadership of our English Department over the past four years has been exemplary and, although she will be sorely missed, we wish her well in her new role.

As part of the Year 10 Visual Art Surrealism unit, students have been applying approaches and techniques of artists to discover their own subconscious mind. Students worked on collages that utilise unexpected juxtaposition inspired by the Surrealist Max Ernst and Dadaist Hannah Hoch. Similar to the process of these artists, students used imagery from non-art related sources such as old encyclopaedias and pages of steel engraving illustrations. The resulting collages play with scale, composition and imagery from contrasting contexts to create irrational and illogical scenes.

Year 11 Modern HistoryIn Year 11 Modern History, students took up the Escape Room Challenge, on the Indian Independence Movement, with gusto. In MHS112B, Julia Buck and Jess Robinson took the lead early, piecing together a puzzle (of the Prince of Wales leaning over the tiger he hunted down and killed) to reveal the code that unlocked the second challenge of four questions on the British Raj (rule). The winners held the lead until the end when they looked at a historical source on Britain’s ‘divide and rule’ stratagem (Partition of Bengal). Similarly, Rohan Pickard and Luke Seymour in MHS112A set a competitive pace and were the first team to unlock the codes and finish the challenge. The Escape Room Challenge is an activity that engages students in social learning.

Cross River Rail excursion

A group of Indooroopilly SHS Year 9 Mathematics and Engineering Acceleration students explored Brisbane's Cross River Rail future in virtual reality recently. Cross River Rail, state's largest infrastructure project, will connect Dutton Park to Bowen Hills via two tunnels under the Brisbane River and the CBD.

Year 9 Mathematics and Engineering Acceleration students visit the Cross River Rail Experience Centre.

f u l l s t o r y a n d m o r e p h o t o s h e r e

A group of classmates and I were given the opportunity to visit Cross River Rail and see their exciting plans for the future of Brisbane's transport. A lovely team of people gave us a tour of their work space and allowed us to use their virtual reality technology to experience their designs first hand. In their theatre room, virtual surroundings were projected on every wall. We viewed their 3D models of the city and watched numerous videos explaining their designs and the maths behind it. Following this, we observed a construction site from bird's eye view inside a building. It was the best experience and we learnt so much. Ruby

The trip was filled with interesting information about how our community will be developing very soon. With wonderful interactive technology such as a digitally formed imitation of South East Queensland, current and in the future, and a 270-degree theatre, we were able to go deeper into engineering. A short walk from the main building we were also able to access a bird's eye view of the main construction site, see live footage of what was happening below ground and learn about the machinery and process used to achieve this mission. The day was definitely enjoyed by all of us and I cannot wait to see the digital plans all come to life. Esha

During our excursion to the Cross River Rail Experience Centre, we were able to learn in depth about the Cross River Rail project that is currently under construction. We were warmly welcomed to the experience centre and had a great time learning about the process of creating the underground railway by talking with some of the engineers behind the project, interacting with VR as well as a variety of different technologies. We were also able to see a glimpse of construction of the station. Not only was it entertaining, but it was also educational. Uhansa

What's for dinner? Engaging assessment in ChineseAs part of the Year 7 Chinese curriculum, students study a unit titled “What’s for dinner?” where they get to expand their Chinese vocabulary and engage with a very popular topic: food! As the assessment for the unit, students complete a multi-modal presentation where they combine their cooking skills with their Chinese and show their classmates how to prepare food. Students choose the cuisine, and learn how to describe the process in Chinese. Students found the task fun, and delicious!

Students from Ms Pan’s class had the following reflections to share:

Why I decided to make sushiI decided to make sushi for my cooking presentation for Chinese class. This is because it is fun and interesting. I also had never made sushi before, and thought this would be a perfect time to try. Sushi can also be made at home, and is extremely delicious! I also didn’t know many Chinese characters

and pinyin for the steps associated with making sushi, and wanted to learn them as they would be very helpful to know.

What I learntI learnt more about Japanese culture, how to use iMovie better (as this is what I was editing and creating my video on) and how to better use chopsticks. I found this unit very helpful as I learnt many Chinese characters and pronunciation of words which will be very helpful to me in the future when communicating and understanding Mandarin

Chinese. Some examples of words I used that I didn’t know before are; food words such as sushi (寿司 ), and sequence words such as first (首先) and secondly (第二步).

Why I enjoyed this experienceI definitely enjoyed this, and would recommend it to everyone! It is a very fun, interesting (and yummy) experience that can be done with friends, family, or individually, and helps explore Japanese culture. I also enjoyed learning many new and interesting Chinese words and pronunciations. I especially enjoyed getting

to share the sushi with my friends and family.“ Maria, 7F

“I was super excited while making the food I eat. As it was my first time cooking and explaining it in a different language, it was challenging as well as enjoyable experience for me. This experience helped me to gain confidence, organising skills, patience, a clear mind, a set plan as well as time management, concentration and also teach us how to balance everything. This assessment also assisted me to gain a whole new perspective of cooking. It taught me the value and importance of food in the world and helped me apply my knowledge of other subjects to cooking, eg: mathematical measurements, presentation skills, languages to introduce the dish and science to observe the process of cooking.” Nikhil, 7F

Jack Treby Head of Department Languages and Global Citizenship

Year 7 Chinese students did a cooking demonstration using their Chinese vocabulary skills.

Families and TikTokMany families are using TikTok to share fun videos, creative moments and life experiences, and as we know not all on the app are appropriate for all ages. Children as young as 13 may have a TikTok account and this is the time to be having some of the conversations around Digital Citizenship; discussing where and how data gets stored on the internet, what to share and what not to share. Probably the best way for a younger user to have an account is with the Family Pairing, which enables parental access to the features listed below. With this in mind and to enhance safety to teenagers using TikTok, the company has upgraded its safety tools and allows parent to guide their adolescent experience on the app by providing new features in the Safety Centre TikTok have Community Guidelines so adolescents should be made of aware of the appropriate internet behaviour. If you are unsure that your adolescent is able to self-manage their TikTok account the

following things are able to be undertaken with the parental controls.

1. Screen time management, where parents can set controls or request pop-ups suggesting to the user to have a break or do something off line.

2. Restricted Mode, in the Digital Wellbeing controls parents can set the restricted mode on without a family pairing account.

3. Direct Messages, can be limited to only connected accounts or turned off completely.

More information about internet safety and TikTok is available from eSafety Commissioner, at esafety.gov.au/key-issues/esafety-guide/tiktok.

As human beings we all want to feel happy and not just every now and then. In our search for happiness we are often led to believe that if we owned more, bought more, achieved more or won more we would find happiness, but is it found in spending, accumulating or competing with others?

The reality is, that if we get the ‘ingredients’ right for happiness, then nothing can stop us from being happy, even in difficult times. It’s our choice.

The Dalai Lama believes that happiness is found in kindness and compassion. He goes on to say that genuine happiness comes when you see some usefulness in your life. These qualities are not things you can

hold or see, but they make you feel good, and they certainly leave lasting impressions on other people.

In order to provide our children with the skills to pursue happiness here are some suggestions.

Show by your example, encourage, or teach your child: • That happiness is a choice, so choose it; • To have a growth mindset – that improvement comes from hard work and dedication; • To be kind to themselves, and to others; • That no matter what they pursue it is important to do their best (whether at home, school, work or in the community);

• To laugh as often as is possible; • To care for others, and to look out for others, and if they see something unjust then do something about it;

• To do good deeds for others – it will make them feel good, too;

• To be grateful for what they have (envy creates discontent);

• To greet the new day with a smile and be glad to be alive to enjoy it.

Happiness is not just about meeting our own needs. We are social beings. The more we connect with others and consider others the easier will be our own pursuit of happiness.

Things you never knew about ear wax

When was the last time you gave more than a passing thought to that waxy, yellow goo that sporadically comes out of your ears? Probably a while ago?

Earwax is one of those things that most of us pay little attention to – until we experience an ear infection or blockage – so here are some interesting ear wax facts you may never have taken the time to learn.

Earwax also goes by its correct medical term, cerumen.

Earwax is not actually waxIt gets its name from its waxy, sticky texture - but earwax is not a wax. The exact recipe for earwax requires a good dose of sebum (a body secretion made up mostly of fat), skin cells, sweat and dirt.

Earwax is produced by the ear to clean and protect itself. It’s secreted by glands in the skin that line the outer half of your ear canals. The wax and tiny hairs in these passages trap dust and other foreign particles that could damage deeper structures. The consistency of your earwax will vary depending on your environment and diet. You may get darker wax if you work in a dirty environment. Wax that’s been in your ear longer will generally be darker.

Hearing lossEarwax can create problems for our hearing when it starts to build up in our ears, a process called impaction. Ear drops can help loosen ear wax, meaning you can remove it easily. The symptoms of impacted earwax are hearing loss, earache, sense of ear fullness, itchiness in the ear, dizziness, ringing in the ear & coughing.

Stay away from ear candlesEar candles are marketed as a solution to removing wax from ear canals, but they often do more harm than good. Unsurprisingly, for something that involves lighting a flame near your head, they’ve been known to cause burns to the face, outer ear, eardrum and inner ear. They can also make build-ups of ear wax worse and are not recommended.

How to properly clean your inner earsYou don’t need to clean your inner ears. Ears are self-cleaning and earwax should work its way out of your ear naturally in time where you can clean it with a damp cloth.

If you do get a buildup of ear wax that’s causing you problems, visit your GP to have it removed. You can also get drops to loosen ear wax at the pharmacy. Generally, you’ll apply these drops twice a week to loosen ear wax, before removing it from your outer ear with a cloth – but follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Please stay safe and take care of yourself and others.

What is the IB Programme?The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepares students, generally aged 16 to 19, for success at university and life beyond. The programme is normally taught over two years and has gained recognition and respect from the world’s leading universities.

Mission StatementThe International Baccalaureate Organisation aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the IBO encourages students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

For further information contact IB Coordinator Peter Day on pday4@eq.edu.au or (07) 3327 8333.

Aviation is a subject for students who are looking forward to either a career in aviation or flying for pleasure.

Students are able to enrol in Aviation in Years 10, 11 and 12. Students go to a flying school at Archerfield Airport each week during the year. Initially students aim to perform their first solo flight, and must be 15 years of age to do so.

Students work towards a Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL) and, after successfully completing navigation flights, gain a Private Pilot Licence. Students will be required to pay their chosen flying school each week for their lesson. This is a pay-as-you-go arrangement with the hire rate of an aircraft and instructor plus landing fees and briefing. It is a significant expense, details of which are available from each flying school.

The theory, comprising Flight Radio Operator’s Licence (FROL), Basis Aeronautical Knowledge (BAK) and Private Pilot Licence Theory (PPL) is

studied during Wednesday briefings and at home.

Topics include aircraft familiarisation, aviation terminology, Communications, aircraft general knowledge and control, rules and procedures of flight, theory of flight, meteorology and navigation. Students also have the ability to practise flights in the school’s flight simulator.

It is preferable for students to complete the aviation medical and apply for an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC) and student pilot licence before commencing flight training, as the first solo flight is not permitted until the documentation has been processed by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

For more information contact Matt Reid, Head of Department – Business, Industry & Innovation, mreid44@eq.edu.au

The Networking Academy Program is a two-year course offered by Indooroopilly State High School in conjunction with Cisco Systems, a world leading manufacturer of networking equipment.

What do students learn?Students learn to construct and configure Local and Wide Area Networks (LANs and WANs) using state of the art equipment. LANs and WANs interconnecting our computing equipment and the entire global internet.

A student who has successfully completed the course and attained certification will be able to build, maintain and interconnect computer networks. The student will be able to configure networking equipment such as routers and switches which direct and manage network data.

Study of Adolescent Choice and Use of E-books v. Print Books

I am a Master’s student (MA, Editing & Publishing) at the University of Southern Queensland researching how adolescents choose and use e-books.

Given the mixed characterisation of modern adolescents within research literature as either ‘digital natives’ who are effortlessly adept in the use of technology or a diverse group with differing technological preferences and abilities, my research project seeks to explore how adolescents respond to e-books in the context of reading for pleasure.

I am looking for young people aged 12-18 years who have some experience reading e-books for pleasure to complete an online survey. The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and can be completed in students’ free time.

The survey can be found at https://surveys.usq.edu.au/index.php/933191?lang=en and will be available until mid-October 2020.

It is hoped that my research will provide valuable information about what and how adolescents are choosing to read. This information will in turn help publishers, teachers, librarians and parents as they work with adolescents to encourage engagement in the practice of reading for pleasure. For the adolescents who choose to be involved it’s a chance to tell the researcher and publishers what type of books they like to read and what they would to see more of on the shelves of libraries, bookstores, and classrooms.

If you have any questions or would like to know more about my research, please do not hesitate to contact.
