Staff and students have been extremely busy over the

last couple of weeks with a range of educational

activities. On Tuesday 8th March, we celebrated

International Women’s Day and recognised the

achievements of many great women in history. Our

guest speaker, Sarah Nixon, also drew our attention to

how far we still have to go to achieve equality for

women, especially in countries where women are still

marginalised and much less fortunate than women in

our own culture. Thank to you all the students and staff

who supported this event.

The Junior Secondary Meet and Greet session on

Wednesday evening was another huge success.

Despite the downpour, many staff, parents and

students crowded onto the deck to meet each

other. Thank you to the parents who were able to

attend this event to meet with our teachers. We

appreciate your support. A huge thank you to the

students who assisted our wonderful Junior

Secondary staff with this event – the F1 in Schools

team, the senior Hospitality team, the ANZAC tour

group, and Tate and Jasper Obst for their

entertainment.

Recently, the Education Department’s iPad expert, Bob Rodgers,

flew to Mackay to deliver an iPad Professional Development

session for all schools. He also spent time assisting Junior

Secondary students in the classroom and delivering sessions to

Mackay North staff. Science staff also had the opportunity to

connect their students digitally with the IntoScience presentations

(pictured).

Staff across curriculum areas are engaging our students with a

range of innovative practices through digital technologies in the

classroom. As the funding for the previous government’s 1-to-1 Laptop program has ceased, all students are

required to bring their own device (BYOx) to school. While students in Junior Secondary are expected to

bring iPads, students in Year 10 to 12 can bring a laptop or an iPad. It is essential that once the device is

brought to school students take it to the IT department in the library to ensure they are able to utilise school

resources including the school internet. Last year, the IT department ran a number of BYOx sessions for

parents. If you missed these sessions and require more information, please go to our website or contact our

Head of IT, John Doolan.

Senior Secondary News

Exam Block 16/03/2016 – 22/03/2016

Our first senior exam block will run from next Wednesday to the following Tuesday. Students will be expected to attend

school for:

their exams.

for RSA and RGS training if students are enrolled in Cert II Hospitality or Cert II Tourism – full days Friday 18th

and Monday 21st.

if their teacher has specifically asked them to attend to complete Senior Art.

if their teacher has asked them to come in and complete certificate competencies.

Students must be in full school uniform. Students who are unable to complete their exams in the allocated time slot

because of significant other commitments need to see Mr Beanland to organise when they will complete their exams. If

students are ill and unable to do their exams in the required timeslots, the school should be notified and a medical

certificate is required to justify the rescheduling of the exam. The exam timetable is in this newsletter, so please make

sure all students are aware of the times that they must be present for their exams.

Following exam block, both Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th March will be normal school days for all Year 11 and

12 students. Some students absent with Work Experience, the Year 12 Legal Studies students will be in Brisbane,

students who sign up for the ‘Dream Job’ workshop will be attending that on Wednesday 23rd, but all other Year 11

and 12 students are expected to be at school for regular lessons on these last 2 days of term.

Dream Job

This is an excellent opportunity for students to lift their spirits and dream forward to the future, following exam block.

Motivational Speaker and Life Coach: Melissa Schembri presents her full day ‘Dream Job’ workshop on Wednesday

23rd March. (Advertising brochure is included in this newsletter) Students who have participated in the past have found

the day to be inspiring, thought provoking, enjoyable, and thoroughly worthwhile. This is a personal development

opportunity not to be missed. Just $20! Please enrol by paying ASAP at the office.

Subject Changes for Year 11

We spend a lot of time and energy trying to help incumbent Year 11 students select the best subjects for themselves in

Year 11. However, sometimes the reality is that students find themselves in subjects that are not appropriate. If

students are in the situation, they need to investigate possible subject changes immediately after exam block, on 23rd

and 24th March. This can result in them being ready to ‘hit the ground running’ for the start of Term 2.

2016 Next Step survey

The Queensland Government is conducting its annual statewide survey of all students who completed Year 12 in the previous year.

The Next Step survey is a brief, confidential survey that gains a comprehensive picture of the employment, study and life choices

made by Queensland school completers in the year after they finish Year 12.

Between March and June, all our students who completed Year 12 last year can expect to receive instructions to

complete a web-based survey or a telephone call from the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office to complete

the survey. Please encourage them to take part. If their contact details have changed, please assist the interviewer

with their updated details or forward the survey to their new address so they can participate.

Thank you for your support of the Next Step survey in 2016.

KMEIA CHORAL FESTIVAL

The vocal group’s first performance for the year is at

the KMEIA Choral Festival which is being held at

this year two renowned guest choral conductors are

Jenny Moon and Anthony Young.

On Monday night, our students will need to be at the

MECC at 5.15pm for final rehearsals. The concert

begins at 7.30pm and should be finished by 9.00pm.

Tickets for the public are available at the MECC for

always sell out very quickly! Secondary parents who

miss out on tickets may watch the MECC rehearsal on

Monday.

Our vocal group students will also need to be at the Mackay

Entertainment Centre on Sunday afternoon for the important

concert rehearsal. They need to arrive at 3.45pm and the

rehearsal will finish at 7.00pm. Students should wear

comfortable, smart casual clothes and bring WATER with

them to the rehearsals.

Full cultural uniform is needed for the concert and students

will need to bring their music in the black display folder which

has been supplied.

ANNUAL VOCAL GROUP

LEVY

Sincere thanks to all families who have already paid

the annual $20 vocal group levy for the year and

returned the permission form. This is needed from all

vocal group members before the end of March, please.

MARCHING BAND TRIP TO THE STATE ANZAC

PARADE

It is extremely pleasing to see how popular the

marching band trip to the State Anzac Parade still is,

with all of the eighty-eight seats already taken. This will

again be a very enjoyable, memorable trip and the

marching band staff members are very pleased with

the progress that has been made by the students at

the recent rehearsals. Just a reminder to all Brisbane

students that there are two mandatory rehearsals remaining

on Tuesday afternoon, March 22 from 3.00 – 4.00pm and

after the holidays, on Friday afternoon April 15 from 3.00 –

SAFETY

MESSAGE Please take note of signs

on the streets

surrounding the school.

Every time you park in a

NO PARKING or BUS

ZONE, you put a child at

risk.

Mackay North High is a Safe School

Mackay North takes pride in our commitment to provide a safe, inclusive environment for each and every one of our

students. In line with this commitment, last year we signed up to join the Safe Schools Coalition. There is currently a

considerable amount of misinformation about this program in the media.

The Safe Schools program, which is convened by the Foundation of Young Australians and funded by the Australian

Government, aims to ensure all students, including same sex attracted, intersex, and gender diverse students have the

opportunity to learn and succeed in a supportive environment that is free from discrimination.

Our participation in the program provides us free access to expert training, resources and advice, but importantly, does

not require any changes to our curriculum, school policies or procedures. Any participation in the program by students is

completely voluntary.

The Queensland Teacher’s Union (QTU) is also proudly supportive of the quality work of the Safe Schools Coalition.

We have joined the program simply because we want everyone in our school community to be happy and healthy, and

we understand that students do well socially and academically when they feel safe within their classrooms, school

grounds and within their school’s culture.

Junior Secondary Students Head IntoScience

Last week the Junior Secondary science students

were given the opportunity to experience an

IntoScience launch lesson. This lesson ran through the

basics of how to use the applications as well as how to

earn enquiry points, complete quizzes in a real-time

challenge against other students, build an avatar and

complete quests in the different worlds. Students were

encouraged to use this application at home and in the

classroom. I would like to publicly thank IntoScience

and their presenters, Emma, Alex and Andrew for

coming into our school to deliver such an excellent

application that really seemed to get students into

Science.

Swimming Carnival

2016 Sports news next page

Interhouse Swimming Carnival

After a hectic but enjoyable 2 days for the 2016 edition of the Interhouse Swimming Carnival, the splashing has settled

and the winners have been crowned.

The first day of the swimming carnival was held on Friday 19th

February, with the junior students taking to the pool first.

Lead confidently by the House Captains, all students got involved and thoroughly enjoyed themselves – whether it was in

the swimming races, the novelty events or the War Cry competition (taken out by Fitzgerald). Once the waves of

competition had subsided, it was a nervous wait to see who had taken out the title for the Junior Championship in 2016,

and take an early lead in to the Senior Carnival. It was announced that Spiller had won the Junior Championship for the

second year in a row, closely followed by Norris, then Fitzgerald and Bagley finished in 4th

place.

The final day of competition saw the Seniors thrash around the pool on Friday 26th February in order to gain house

supremacy early on in the year. With the pool full of Dragons, Dolphins, Frogs and Tigers, it was an exciting day with

everyone giving their all for their house and ensuring an enjoyable day for all. At the conclusion of the races, Bagley were

crowned Senior Champions, well ahead of Spiller, Norris and Fitzgerald.

To come up with the overall winning house for the carnival, both the Junior & Senior scores were added together. With

Spiller taking out the Juniors and Bagley taking out the Seniors, it was declared that the overall winners were Spiller,

followed by Norris, Bagley and Fitzgerald.

Thank you to all of the students who were involved in the 2016 Swimming Carnival, you provided a great atmosphere.

Thank you to the newly elected House Captains – you displayed great enthusiasm and leadership, your efforts made the

day run smoothly. A final thank you to the staff for your support in running the day – from recording, starting or being

there to support the students – your efforts were muchly appreciated by the students.

Attention now focuses on to the next Interhouse competition – the Cross Country. This will be held in Friday 29th April.

Training will commence shortly for any interested students (Yrs 7 – 12) – this will be advertised on daily notices. Students

will need to collect a form from the HPE staffroom and return prior to training. Any student turning 12 years old and

wanting to participate in the Northern Suburbs Cross Country must participate in this training.

An extract from Z-Letter

February 2016 | Issue No. 6

Dear parents

At North High we aim to create a safe and supportive school community for everyone. Sometimes, it can be

difficult for parents or carers to know what to do when their child talks to them about bullying. You are an

important part of our work to prevent bullying and to respond effectively if it happens. Stopping bullying

involves everyone.

If your child talks to you about bullying:

1. Listen calmly and get the full story. Your calm response is

important to allow your child to tell you all about the

situation. After they’ve told you their story, ask questions

to get more details if you need to: who, what, where,

when. Although you may feel some strong emotions about

your child’s experience, try to keep calm to avoid more

distress to your child.

2. Reassure your child they are not to blame. Many children

blame themselves and this may make them feel even

worse. You could say things like, ‘That sounds really hard

to deal with. No one should have to put up with that.’ or

‘I’m so glad you told me. You should be able to feel safe

at school; that’s not fair at all’.

3. Ask your child what they want to do and what they want

you to do. A critical part of your response is to avoid

jumping in to solve the problem. While it is natural to want

to protect your child, helping them to find their own

solution is a better option. It helps them feel they have

some power in the situation.

4. Visit www.bullyingnoway.gov.au to find some strategies.

The website has tips and ideas for different bullying

situations. One idea is to practise strategies at home to

help your child feel more confident.

5. Contact the school. Your child may be reluctant for you to do this, so discuss the idea and reassure

them that the school would want to know and is able to help. Make an appointment to meet with your

child’s teacher and, if you need to, ask to talk with the principal. Contact the school immediately if you

have a concern about your child’s safety.

6. Check in regularly with your child. Keep the conversation going. It can take time to resolve issues, so

check in regularly with your child about their experiences and their feelings. Your ongoing support is

important.

If you are looking for support for yourself to deal with a bullying situation, you will find ideas on the Bullying.

No Way! website for parents. As well, please contact the school if you would like to discuss any aspect of our
