From the Principal | Mr Damien Carlton

Year 12: Our Higher School Certificate (HSC) Drama students

completed their trial practical performances on Wednesday 29

July. Students were able to complete an individual performance

or submission. Congratulations to Miri Maroney, Mia Aros, Katie Walsh and Bridget Foster for their extraordinary monologue

performances, and Nicholas Grinham (Scriptwriting), Sean Maunder (Video), Rebecca Wallace (Costume Design) and Alysa Djakovic (Set Design) for their exceptional and creative work.

The marking panel of three were impressed with the standard of

performance and provided feedback for ongoing development

in preparation for the HSC practical assessment later this term.

The major works for HSC subjects are also in the final stages of

preparation for submission with both teachers and students

working very hard. With the HSC Trial Examinations being

postponed to Week 5, students have two weeks of preparation time

remaining. Teachers at the College continue to be impressed with

the positive attitude of our senior students, who have remained

calm and focused throughout these uncertain COVID times.

Archdiocesan Secondary Sport Survey: I thank all parents, students and staff who participated in the

sport survey conducted by Ernst & Young. The information will be gathered from across the schools of the

Archdiocese of Sydney and will lay a foundation for a review of how sport operates, and what access to

representative pathways exist. We hope to get a report from the surveys later this term that will be passed on

to our community.

Feast of St Ignatius LoyolaToday, Friday 31 July, we celebrate the feast of St Ignatius Loyola. He was born in 1491, one of 13 children of a family of minor nobility in northern Spain. As a young man Ignatius Loyola was inflamed by the ideals of courtly love and knighthood and dreamed of doing great deeds. But in 1521 Ignatius was gravely wounded in a battle with the French. While recuperating, Ignatius Loyola experienced a conversion. Reading the lives of Jesus and the saints made Ignatius happy and aroused desires to do great things. Ignatius realised that these feelings were clues to God’s direction for him. Over the years Ignatius became expert in the art of spiritual direction. He collected his insight prayers and suggestions in his book 'The Spiritual Exercises', one of the most influential books on the spiritual life ever written. With a small group of friends, Ignatius Loyola founded the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits. Ignatius conceived the Jesuits as “contemplatives in action”. This also describes the many Christians who have been touched by Ignatian spirituality.

E-Cigarette Usage By Teens Recently, there have been a number of media reports regarding the increasing use of e-cigarettes by teens. Concerns are being raised by members of the medical profession that the incidence of “vaping” is reaching alarming levels amongst school students across the country.

We are aware that there are students at the College who are engaging in this practice, which poses significant risk to their health. A number of steps have/are being taken to reduce student engagement in the use of e-cigarettes. Staff have been provided with the latest information about the product, which will assist them in having conversations with students about the risks associated with using them. I spoke to the students last week at assembly about the health risks associated with using e-cigarettes, as well as the fact that they are a banned item at school and that there are serious consequences for any student who brings and/or uses e-cigarettes whilst engaged in any College activity. This includes at school, sport, to and from school, excursions, camps and retreats. Year Coordinators are in the process of creating educational materials to use with their year groups, which will educate them on the dangers of using e-cigarettes.

I have attached a link to a recent report on Channel 9 about e-cigarettes. It provides some basic information about the product and what the health concerns are in relation to their use. You may wish to watch the report and use it as a conversation starter with your son/daughter about the risks involved in a practice , that many teens are currently viewing as harmless.

Year 10 Vaccinations Year 10 will be receiving their vaccinations for Meningococcal on Thursday 13 August. Students who wish to be vaccinated and have not yet returned their consent form to the College Office, need to do so prior to the vaccination date. Students who didn’t receive an information envelope can collect one from the College Office. While this vaccination is not compulsory, it is highly recommended, as Meningococcal is particularly dangerous for young people in their mid to late teens. Having the vaccination at school is a convenient way to protect your child from this disease.

Year 12 Drama Monologues I was privileged to be invited to assist with the marking of the Year 12 Drama monologues on Wednesday of this week. The students performed their prepared pieces in front of an audience of their drama class peers, students from other year groups and teachers. They performed with enormous enthusiasm, demonstrating their love of acting and their commitment to the HSC drama course. I want to wish Mia, Bridget, Miri and Katie all the best as they continue to prepare for their HSC performances.

Important reminders The College Uniform Policy clearly states that girls’ skirts are to be knee length. Please ensure that your daughter’s skirt is the appropriate length.

If students are late to school, for any reason and for whatever length of time, they require a note. This is not a school rule, it is the expectation of the government. If your son/daughter is going to be late for school, please write a note in their College diary.

Curriculum Coordinator | Mrs Belinda Westwood

Rationale Inculcating strong values and ideals in each student and enabling them to grow as good Christians and honest citizens is fundamental to the evangelising mission of St John Bosco College. This emphasis on developing integrity, which encompasses honesty, truthfulness, responsibility and reliability, permeates all aspects of College life, including academic pursuits. The accuracy, reliability and validity of assessment and reporting practices relies upon students conducting themselves in an ethical manner in demonstrating their own academic ability.

Definitions

Academic Integrity is a term used to describe honest and ethical behaviour in relation to academic work (student homework, assessments, performance tasks and conduct in exams or in-class tasks).

Academic misconduct is a term used to describe any act by a student that fails to meet the accepted standards of academic integrity. This includes any unfair advantage gained by a student, eg. a student who arrives late before an assessment task without reason, or who is absent the day before an assessment task to prepare for that task.

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s words, ideas, thoughts, opinions, data or images as one’s own. Plagiarism includes:

• copying, summarising or paraphrasing material from any source without acknowledgement;

• using another’s ideas without acknowledgement;

• working jointly with others and then presenting it as your own;

• submitting work that has been done in whole or part by another student;

• other actions that may contradict the principles of academic integrity.

Principles

At St John Bosco College we believe that:

1. students have an obligation to be honest, truthful and just when undertaking academic activities,

2. ethical conduct contributes to creating and sustaining a climate of fairness and equity amongst all students,

3. academic integrity enhances the authenticity, reliability and validity of assessment tasks, thus allowing a more accurate assessment of a student’s achievement in relation to a set of standards referenced criteria,

4. a culture of academic integrity is fostered and promoted when it is:

a) viewed from a whole school perspective,

b) accepted as the responsibility of all teachers, students and administrative personnel,

c) explicitly addressed, taught, modelled, discussed and reinforced,

d) supported by clear expectations of students and common practices adopted throughout the whole school,

5. academic misconduct is a serious matter and that there should be appropriate guidelines to deal with allegations of academic misconduct.

Responsibilities of students

1. Encourage and support academic integrity as a characteristic of a holistic person.

2. Do your own work and make every effort to prevent academic misconduct.

3. Set an example for other students by modelling good academic conduct and integrity.

4. Refrain from assisting other students in any attempts to violate the academic integrity policy.

5. Consider ways to minimise acts or intentions of academic misconduct.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY

Learning and Teaching Coordinator | Mrs Rhonda Thompson

Years 10, 11 and 12 students are required to demonstrate a minimum standard of literacy and numeracy to receive their HSC.

The College provides opportunities for students to attempt these twice each year, and many students are able to meet the HSC minimum standards in one or several of the testing domains on their first attempt.

The next opportunity is being offered on Friday 14 August from Roll call - Period 3 for all Year 10 students and any Year 11 or 12 student who has not yet achieved the minimum standards for the HSC in either reading, writing or numeracy. Further opportunities will be available for students each year, until 5 years after their HSC exams have been sat.

The minimum standard online tests are different from NAPLAN tests. These tests are ‘computer adaptive’, which means the questions asked are determined by the student’s answer to the previous question. There are three separate 45 minute tests:

• Roll call and Period 1 Minimum Standard Reading Test – 45 multiple choice questions

• Period 2 Minimum Standard Writing Test – one question based on a choice of two prompts. Students will be required to write a maximum of 500 words.

• Period 3 Minimum Standard Numeracy Test – 45 multiple choice questions

Year 10 students will sit all three tests while Year 11 students will only have to complete the tests for the components where they have not yet reached minimum standards. Next week students will receive notification via email of the tests they are sitting, and the details of what to bring etc.

All students in Year 10 have received an email with instructions about installing the lock down browser required for the tests. This is the only way students can access the test and must be installed prior to test day. Please ensure your child attends to this and they have the permissions to download apps to their laptop.

If a student usually receives special provisions, parents and the student will be contacted by our Learning Support team.

Students will need to bring their own fully charged laptops to each test. If the laptop is unable to hold charge for 3 x 45min, students should also bring their charger. Laptops will not be needed for the rest of that day.

A sample test is available on the NESA website https://hscliteracynumeracy.nesa.nsw.edu.au/.

Further information about HSC Minimum Standards is also available at http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/11-12/hsc/hsc-minimum-standard.

Should you wish your child to NOT sit these tests on Friday 14 August, please let the College know by return email to rhonda.thompson@syd.catholic.edu.au well before the test date.

If you have concerns regarding special provisions for your child, please email justine.morris@syd.catholic.edu.au.

The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) on School Students with Disability is an annual collection that counts the number of school students receiving an adjustment due to disability and the level of reasonable adjustment they are receiving.

This information helps teachers, principals and educational authorities better plan to support students with disability so that they may take part in school on the same basis as other students.

The national data collection provides an opportunity for schools to review their learning and support systems and processes with the aim of improving education outcomes for their students with disability.

This year the Annual collection of data will take place on Friday 7 August 2020, and only involves numbers, not personal information.

8 TERM 3 - WEEK 2 GAUDIUM ET SPES | JOY & HOPE | A school that prepares for life

HANDS-ON HISTORYTo start the term, the Year 7 classes have been taking a hands-on approach to studying the past. To gain a simple but effective understanding of stratigraphy, students like Misha and Mia cut a Mars Bar in half to gain a better (and yummy) understanding of layers. From this, students had to imagine what might represent the soft nougat layer and the gooey caramel layer if this was an archaeological site. Then the journey as an archaeologist continued with students having to reconstruct the pieces of a broken object and analyse what it might have been made from and its purpose in ancient times. However, the highlight for the week was the activity “Who pooed the poo?”, with students analysing a poo to determine what was eaten and what era the sample was excavated from. The faces of some of the students tell the tale of a rather smelly and unpleasant experience, but some found it fascinating that archaeologists today are making a living studying ancient poo!

Year 7 History | Mrs Karen Perrett

Year 7 English | Miss Katelyn Stanley

Last term Year 7 English students studied the unit Stories in Pictures, a unit whereby students studied the power of storytelling through picture books. Students learnt about visual literacy techniques and how they are used to analyse picture books.

In the concluding weeks of Term 2, Year 7 Acacia and Waratah were given the task of constructing their own picture books, integrating visual literacy techniques to persuade, inform and entertain an audience. Students were required to have a moral behind their picture book, which would be based on a person who is marginalised in society.

The following students have shared the influence behind and purpose of their picture book:

Sophia Parker - 7WT “My picture book is titled 'Be a Fruit Loop In a Bowl of Cheerios', signifying to stand out amongst the crowd. The purpose of my picture book was to help and support those people that find it difficult to fit in, to give them encouragement

to be themselves. The protagonist, Fruit Loop, is bullied and judged for being herself because she does not fit in with the Cheerios. Fruit Loop strives to be different and does not care what people think about her. I believe bullying is not acceptable and in the world we live in today people get bullied for not fitting in all the time. I made this book to show people that it is fine to not fit in but most importantly for the judgement to stop!”

Charlotte Hall - 7AC “The message behind my picture book is about never giving up even when you feel upset. The girl in my picture book trials for a rugby team and feels like she isn't playing well until her pet dog tells her to never give up; she then scores a try and plays the best game she's ever played. Some techniques that I have used are anthropomorphism, allusion and symbolism. The purpose of this book is to not only entertain but to provide a message to never give up!”

9 TERM 3 - WEEK 2 GAUDIUM ET SPES | JOY & HOPE | A school that prepares for life

Jayden Langan - 7AC

The influence of my picture book is Shaun Tan’s The Rabbits. My picture book is about a small girl during the Stolen Generation. This is her perspective. She is depicted as a small and vulnerable joey, stolen and placed into the Missionaries, where she is treated with neglect and is malnourished. As the story progresses, you can see her mature into a kangaroo. Her true identity is revealed at the end of the book, where she is sitting with a plush kangaroo at her feet. This image is showing you that she is only a kangaroo in the confines of her imagination.

REMINDER ABOUT PROOFREADING

Literacy and Numeracy | Mrs Peta Batty

As the College returns for Semester 2, it is time for a gentle reminder about the importance of proofreading written work. This is an area where parents and carers can assist students without necessarily having an understanding of the content material.

Proofreading requires consideration of the following questions when reading any written work by a student:

• Is spelling correct?• Is punctuation correct?• Have paragraphs been used?• Do the sentences make sense?• Have ideas been explained fully?• Has the question been answered?• Does the answer fulfil the marking criteria?• Is the tense (past, present, future) constant throughout the answer?

Reminders from parents and carers to students to proofread their work, particularly written assessment tasks, would be very beneficial.

HSIE | Ms Michelle Halpin

Every year in November the College commemorates those men and women who have served their country in a time of war. This year, we would like to create a commemorative photo presentation of relatives of the College community who have served their country in a time of war, allowing students to feel a personal connection to this significant day. These relatives can be from any country and have served in any war.

If you would like a photo of a family member included who served their country, would you please email a JPEG photo to michelle.halpin001@syd.catholic.edu.au with a name of the person photographed (preferably in uniform) and any other relevant information, if able (war served in, battalion, rank, etc.).

DO YOU HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WHO HAS SERVED IN ANY WAR? WE WOULD LIKE TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THEIR SERVICE.

Drama News | Mrs Rachel Kennedy

Congratulations to Year 11 Drama who last term performed the play Ruby Moon as part of their Elements of Production in Performance unit. The students were required to learn their lines, integrate their scenes, as well as organising costume and props. Their performance was outstanding.

Dance sport returned to Engadine Dance Academy last Friday! It was a fantastic session with lots of dancing and fun; the students have missed training over the last four months. It was great to be back doing what they love.

Friday Sport | Mrs Grainne Harris

Friday Sport | Ms Margaret Burnes

With all the restrictions placed on us due to COVID, a lot of us have found a way to stay active by walking, in particular bushwalking. And with some of the State's most beautiful National Parks and Reserves on our doorstep, this is a safe and easy option.

So I was delighted to be allocated bushwalking for sport last Friday where Miss Miskle and I took a group of Year 7 girls into Australia’s oldest National Park, The Royal. Originally just called The National Park in 1879 when it was gazetted as Australia’s first National Park, it was later renamed to The Royal National Park after Her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II passed by the park in 1955.

Although we didn't have time to make it all the way to the pools, we enjoyed the streams, rock outcrops and overhangs of the Karloo Walking Track. Of course as a science teacher, I couldn't help myself to also test my students' knowledge on the topic we had recently covered, Geology.

12 TERM 3 - WEEK 2 GAUDIUM ET SPES | JOY & HOPE | A school that prepares for life

Year 11 students were fortunate enough to have a guest speaker address them on Thursday 30 July - Brendon Talbott, a Roadshow Presenter at Wheelchair Sports NSW. Brendon gave the students some highly relevant and valuable information relating to road safety. At a time when many students are starting to drive, there is a need for greater awareness of the dangers and consequences of poor decisions on the road. Brendon spoke of the realities of life in a wheelchair and the challenges that this presents to everyday activities. He provided the students with facts relating to road safety and young people, including them being particularly at risk due to their inexperience, the need for young people to manage distractions and follow speed limits and road rules.

The students were then invited to experience some time in a wheelchair and play wheelchair basketball. Students enjoyed playing the sport and discovered that it was certainly not as easy as it looked. When their turn was over, the students stood up and walked away from the wheelchair, something which Brendon said to be grateful for - as it is not possible for all people. He reiterated the need to make good decisions on and off the road and to be kind to all people.

The year 11 students were very appreciative of the experience and the message Brendon gave; many commented on how they admired Brendon's positive perspective.

We thank Brendon for his time, knowledge and openness.
