Principal’s Report School Development Day Term 3

Teaching Staff were engaged in a day of Professional Learning on the first day of Term 3. The focus of the day was the increased use of technology in classrooms at Richmond High School. The day utilised the Google Suite of applications that can enhance student engagement in learning. Google Classroom is a digital platform that teachers can present their lesson materials. Google Drive provides a place for teachers and students to store their lesson materials. There were also a number of other opportunities explored on the day and the feedback from staff has been very positive.

BYOD Year 7 2019

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is a program that sees students bring a digital device to school to enhance their learning. While Richmond High is well resourced with digital devices (computers) to support student learning, we don’t have the resources to support a 1:1 ratio of students to devices.

Year 7 2019 will be the pioneer year in an effort to increase the use of technology in learning at Richmond High. Information has been provided to our Primary Schools and they have been very supportive in communicating the program to the families of students who will be in our Year 7 cohort of 2019. We will be holding an information night on Tuesday 21st August for these students and parents/carers to clarify the purpose and requirements of the program.

The Wizard of Oz

The collaboration between Richmond Players and Richmond High has continued in 2018 with the production of The Wizard of Oz. This production will feature a number of our talented performers, dancers and musicians. We also have several students who were successful in obtaining roles such as Assistant Producer, Assistant Director and in the area of Sound and Lighting.

Our MAC has been transformed into a magnificent set and I know the whole production team have been extremely busy “bumping in” the set, sound and lighting as well as rehearsing. The 8 shows begin on Friday 10th August and continue over the two subsequent weekends. Tickets are almost completely sold out and I would encourage you to secure your tickets if you haven’t already done so.

Vietnam Veterans Service at St John of God

On Thursday 2nd August, I accompanied three of our student leaders: Ellen P, Hayden T and Kaylee B (Year 10)

to St John of God Hospital at Gross Vale. The Service included a presentation by Ben Quilty who was engaged by the Australian War Memorial to capture the involvement of Australian Defence personnel in Afghanistan through his artwork. Our student leaders were great ambassadors for the school.

Richmond High Anticipated Enrolment 2019

In August each year I am required to anticipate our enrolment for the following year and report this to the Department of Education. This is an extremely important task because our staffing and funding for the following year are linked to student enrolments. In reaching a number for the anticipated enrolment there are many factors that impact on this process.

Our anticipated enrolments in 2019 are expected to be similar with some increase to 640 students. In order to support a breadth of curriculum and course choices, especially in the Senior School, a school funding will be utilised to employ additional staff. This is necessary to continue to support our students in providing the courses they require to pursue their goals and career aspirations.

The New Multi-Purpose Centre

Following my weekly meetings with the Project and Site Managers from St Hilliers, I can report that work on the construction of our new Multi-Purpose Centre is progressing according to the schedule of works. The concrete pad is complete and preparation for the provision of services has been completed. Work has begun in preparation for the delivery of the steel frame. Work will then occur on the erection of the frame and roof. St Hilliers continues to support the school and this has included a donation of a SLR Digital Camera to assist in the digital record of the construction of the building.

SUBJECT SELECTIONS

The timetable process for 2019 began this term

with the Year 10 Senior Subject Information Evening

last week, which was very well attended by both

students and parents/carers. Special thanks to Mr

Ralph and our new Careers Advisor, Ms Hyde for

presenting and to all the faculty staff who attended

to answer questions and offer advice on their

subjects. Approximately 80% of selection forms

have already been returned and the Senior

Executive Team are currently making decisions

regarding the subjects that will run for Year 11,

2019. Any students who miss out on a subject(s) will

be re-interviewed to ensure they get the best

available options from the line structure.

I have been very impressed with Year 10 throughout

the process and I am looking forward to working

with them again next year. However, they have

been reminded that their HSC begins NOW and that

they ALL need to be achieving 4 or 5 effort ratings

on their Semester 2 Reports. If they don’t begin to

work and develop the habits of a senior student

now, they will find it very difficult to adjust next

year. They should be completing all

set tasks to the best of their ability

and even looking at doing an extra 5

to 10% on top of what is expected

by their teachers.

Year 8 received their Elective Booklet for 2019 this

week and have a form to return to the Front Office

by Tuesday 14th August 2018 (a “first in, best

dressed” policy for subjects as they fill). Students

should carefully read about the subjects they are

considering and talk to their parents regarding the

subject fees and safety equipment required for

some of the subjects. The best advice I can offer for

selecting 3 elective subjects for 2019, is to select

subjects that you are GOOD at and/or you LIKE.

Deputy Principal’s Report Please talk to your teachers about the contents of

their elective subjects and DO NOT make choices

based on “what your friends are doing”, as you will

be doing these subjects 6 periods per fortnight for

the entire year – it can be a long year if you choose

unwisely.

Year 9 have been sent home with a letter this

week that outlines the 3 electives that they studied

this year. They will then have to select 2 electives

only for Year 10 in 2019. ONE of those 2 electives

has to be ONE of the electives studied this year.

Subjects that did not have enough numbers to run

this year may be selected as the second selection

for 2019. These letters will need to be returned to

Mrs Cullen by Tuesday 14th August 2018.

Year 11 will complete their Preliminary HSC at the

end of Term 3, with the culmination being their

Yearly Examinations in Weeks 9 & 10 (20th – 27th

Sept). They will then begin their HSC Year in Term

4. All students will need to have ensured that they

have met NESA requirements for their Preliminary

Courses before they can begin HSC courses. If

students have received “N Award” warning letters

in the mail, I suggest that they are read carefully

and that they work with their teachers to ensure

that the issues are addressed and resolved as soon

as possible. Being given an N Determination in a

Preliminary Course can affect a student’s ability to

achieve their HSC in a 2 year period.

If Year 11 students have successfully completed

their 6 Preliminary Courses (12 Units) they may

then have the choice to drop ONE course in their

HSC year and still qualify for their HSC and/or ATAR

with 10 Units (5 subjects) of study. They will be

given the choice to do this

early in Term 4, once the N

Determination process is

completed by the school

(approx. Week 4).




YEAR 12

Year 12 are in the final stretch of their 13 years of

schooling, with the completion of their Trial HSC

Exams at the end of Term 2. They are now

completing their final units of work and will soon be

in a solid pattern of revision and examination

practise. This is invaluable time with your teachers

and I encourage all Year 12 students to maximise

your time in class and leave “no stone unturned” in

pursuit of your goals.

For the students who are doing major works and/or

practical based subjects, it that time of year when

major works and/or performances are due. The

following outlines final due dates for BOS deadlines:

Society & Culture PiP’s were due this week on

Monday 6th August 2018

Industrial Technology Major Works (including

FOLIOS) due Thursday 16th August 2018

Drama Individual & Group Projects due Monday

27th August

Visual Arts Body of Works due Monday 3rd

September 2018

Music Performances for HSC Markers in the 2

weeks (Sept 10 – Sept 22, 2018)

Best wishes to all those students in their

endeavours towards their HSC’s. The majority of

them will be working long hours both at school

(along with their teachers) and at home as the due

dates approach.

The HSC Examinations commence on October 18

and conclude on November 9, 2018.

5 STAR CANTEEN

The school canteen has once again received a 5 star rating from our

Council Inspection.

Congratulations to the canteen staff for their efforts in maintaining a clean

and healthy canteen!

Richmond High School Carpark

Schools Infrastructure NSW, who manage and maintain our school grounds and buildings, recently completed a safety survey of our school carpark. As a result of this a concern was raised regarding parents/carers accessing and using the carpark. I have put a case forward to continue to allow parents and carers to drive onto school grounds for drop off and pick up purposes.

It has been brought to my attention that there have been a number of incidents where parents/carers have blocked access or exit from the carpark area while they drop of their child or children. There have also been incidents where staff have not been able to park or leave the carpark due to parents/carers double parking and blocking their vehicle.

If these issues persist I will be required to limit access to school grounds by parents/carers.

Cliff Ralph

Principal




There continues to be a strong focus on student attendance at Richmond HS in 2018, with it being recognised as the first step on the ROAD to SUCCESS. Students are regularly reminded of the benefits of attending school every day; school personnel follow up students with concerning patterns of attendance; Department of Education interventions are delivered for students whose attendance does not improve despite significant school interventions; and most importantly, strong recognition of students who maintain an excellent record of attendance.

Term 2 of 2018 ended with 46 students who have a perfect (100%) record of attendance for Semester 1 from last year. They were in attendance for all 99 days in Semester 1 and are still eligible for the 100% Regional Attendance Award at Presentation Night (as long as they do not have too many partial absences).

There were 82 students who attended school every day in Term 2, compared with 95 in Term 1. Our 100% Attenders in Term 2 were as follows:

Year 8

Please note:

All the students marked with an asterix (*) have maintained their 100% record year to date.

Richmond High School Year 7 2019

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Following consultation with our school community and research into the benefits of utilising technology in teaching and learning, Richmond High School will be introducing a program of BYOD with Year 7 in 2019. Teaching Staff have undergone extensive Professional Learning on how to utilise technology in their subject areas to enhance learning.

In 2019, Year 7 students will be required to bring their own device to school each day so that they can utilise it in lessons to access, complete and organise their classwork. Staff have been given opportunities to establish their classes in Google Classroom, which is part of a G Suite of Google applications made available to schools at no cost. Students will be provided with lessons early in 2019 on how to access the G Suite through their Department of Education Student Portal.

In preparation for this, Richmond High School will be working with the Richmond Learning Community Primary Schools to ensure parents and students are kept informed and have opportunities to ask questions regarding the program. The first information session will take place on Tuesday 21st August in Term 3 commencing at 6pm in the MAC.

The BYOD that students will be required to bring will be any laptop that utilises Windows 10 or above as the operating system. The selection of the device will be at the discretion of the parent(s) of the student however Richmond High has provided suggested specifications through the School App and on the School Website.

Rotary Art Awards

The Rotary Club of Richmond sponsored the Senior High Schools Art Awards for the fourth year. We are very proud to say that our students took out both first place as well as runner up.

Well done to Kayla G (Year 11) who was rewarded with $800 for her win. Cameron W (Year 11) came runner up and won $400.

Kayla and Cameron are both pictured right, receiving their awards at a special Rotary evening.

Pictured below are Kayla and Cameron’s artworks respectively.

NAIDOC Week

BECAUSE OF HER, WE CAN is the theme for NAIDOC Week 2018. It's aimed at celebrating the all-important contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have made in the past and continue to make to Australian communities, Australian families as well as adding to our Nations rich history. These women are our Mothers, our Elders, our Grandmothers, our Aunties, our Cousins and our Sisters. As part of Richmond Highs celebration of NAIDOC Week Tobie B, Jonathan B, Hayden B (Year 8), Jayden R and Max C (Year 9) spoke on Assembly about the importance of the contributions that Indigenous women have made to society. This included a power point presentation which acknowledged and celebrated the achievement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women such as Barangaroo, Cathy Freeman, Jessica Mauboy, Pat O'Shane AM and Oodgeroo Noonuccal. As pillars of our society, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have played – and continue to play - active and significant roles at the community, local, state and national levels. Their achievements, their voice, their unwavering passion give us strength and have empowered past generations and paved the way for generations to come.

Below is a photo of the boys during their presentation for NAIDOC week.




Harry’s Superbike Update

Our superstar, Harry K (Year 9), had this to say about his recent Australian Superbike Championship Round at Hidden Valley, Darwin.

Hidden Valley was a brand new track for me, having never raced there before I spent a few weeks trying to learn the circuit through watching car races on television and studying track maps to familiarise myself with it.

Thursday and Friday of practice went fairly well for me, I got on pace fairly quickly and was in the top 5 for both days. Saturday morning for qualifying I was feeling pretty good even after a small crash on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately I was unable to reach the times I was riding on the previous days and as a result qualified in 9th position. Race 1 was great, even though it was really hot. The lead pack was about 10 riders and the positions changed regularly. I pushed as hard as I could to keep with the group and managed to finish 7th. The gap between the top 10 was only 1 second. Race 2 and 3 were much of the same really close racing with multiple position changes. Once again the gap between the top riders was very close. I finished 5th in the 2nd race and 6th in the 3rd race which

We are very proud of our students’ achievements in external events and competitions and are committed to recognising their achievements, however, this cannot happen unless we are informed. Please ring us or send us something in writing if your child or a group of students achieve success in external events so we can recognise their achievements in our newsletters.

left me 5th for the weekend and still running 3rd in the championship. This weekend (July 28 and 29) I will be competing at Sydney Motorsport Park Eastern Creek in the St George Honda MCA Series Round 3 and Endurance Race Weekend. Saturday I will be racing my Moriwaki GP Bike and the Sunday Endurance race I will be teaming with Jed Metcher on my Yamaha R3.

Swiss Hike

Over the Term 2 holidays, Cameron W (Year 11) hiked Kungsleden in Sweden with his ’Venturers’ team in a group of 20. Kungsleden translates to King’s Trail and is Sweden’s longest and most famous trail. It is a beautiful journey through the Scandinavian Mountain Range. The hike took 8 days and the weather was over 30 degrees each day with 24 hour daylight.

Sydney West Athletics Championship

Well done to our students who recently participated in the Sydney West Athletics Championship at Blacktown International Sports Park. These are great results especially when you consider that 60 High Schools competed in the events.

Erin G (Year 10) now moves on to compete at The Combined High Schools Championships. Well done Erin!

Congratulations to 7RC1 and 7RC4 who won the coin drive fundraiser through the P&C. They will be rewarded with a pizza party.

Muru Mittigar

On Tuesday July 31st our Year 7 students attended a cultural excursion to Muru Mittigar. Muru Mittigar means ‘Pathway to Friends’ in the Darug language (the Traditional Custodians of our area). Students were involved in three activities throughout the day. These included Aboriginal painting, learning about the symbols used by the Darug People, Bush Tucker and boomerang throwing and an informative talk about Aboriginal tools and weapons. It was an enjoyable day where

Congratulations to everyone on their beautifully crafted masks in Term 2!

7P English Class

This term, 7P English are studying a novel by Deborah Ellis; ‘Parvana’ (2001). This story is about eleven-year-old protagonist Parvana, who is a girl who pretends that she is a boy in order to earn money for her family while her father is in prison. The book also explores the horrific living conditions of the Afghan people under Taliban rule, with a particular concern for the intensely cruel treatment of women.

Over the school holidays, the students were required to read the novel in preparation for Term 3. The whole class is to be congratulated on their dedication and successful completion of reading the novel. The students were also challenged to read more books than Mrs Koller over the two week holiday break.

Congratulations to the winners - Karla S, Norshanti T and Viktoriia B. These students were awarded with a book of their choice from Dymocks.

Written by Mrs Koller

Richmond High School English Hub!

Is your son or daughter struggling in English? Do they need a little bit of support with homework or class

assignments? Every Tuesday afternoon from 3:00pm-4:00pm there is an English Homework and Study Centre at the

Learning Centre for those students who would like a little bit of extra support and assistance with homework and

assessment tasks.

Please let us know if your child plans on attending by

position. We look forward to assisting your son or daughter in

the near future. Mrs A. Koller (English).




English Enrichment Showcase

The English Enrichment program is on again this year – bigger and better than ever! Students have been working hard to produce incredible visual and literary works as well as engaging interactive displays to accompany them.

Mr Baxley and the students involved have worked incredibly hard and participated in a school holiday workshop to refine their works. The RHS Enrichment Showcase will be held on Thursday 16th August in the Trade Training Centre from 6:00pm- 7:30pm. We would love you to come along to view these impressive works and show your support for the students involved.

NEW - Richmond High School Enrichment Program

Does your child have a particular passion or talent?

Could they benefit from further study or enrichment in this area to further their development?

There is a new and exciting Enrichment opportunity for students in Year 7-10. The RHS Enrichment Program is a school-wide program that seeks to develop the talents of students across any area of passion or interest.

In this project, highly interested, motivated and skilled students engage a sustained project to research, design and create a product of their choice in their area of talent or expertise. The RHS Enrichment Program is unique in that it targets students from a range of KLAs, providing students with an opportunity to connect with a mentor to pursue their talents in a wide range of areas and

showcase their final works to the public at the culmination of the project. Students are only limited by their creativity and there are no restrictions on their choice of project, provided it is safe and of an appropriate nature. Places for this program are limited and based on student application. Apply today!

The intention of the model’s application is to:

Promote student voice, choice and autonomy over their learning

Increase engagement through the exploration of student talents and interest

Build and extend knowledge, skills and abilities within and across subjects

Develop problem-solving skills applicable to real-world contexts

Build resilience, responsibility and organisational capacity

Encourage students to act as 21st century entrepreneurs and creators rather than consumers

Foster connections among peers, teachers and wider community.

Encourage your child to pick up an RHS Enrichment Application form from the English staffroom today!




School Opal Card:

Students, please ensure you Tap On and Tap Off!

An important requirement of the School Opal card is the need for students to Tap On and Tap Off when they travel to and from school.

Opal data gathered by tapping on and off is used to determine demand for bus services. If students don’t tap on and tap off, services may be cancelled due to the lack of recorded patronage.

To further promote the use of School Opal, Busways will also be conducting checks on School Opal cards over the coming months. All students travelling on buses to and from school will be required to show their card and ensure they Tap On and Tap Off every time they catch the bus. Students without an Opal Card will be provided with a brochure to take home identifying how they can get an Opal Card.

Thankyou to everyone who collected the

Coles ‘Sports for Schools’ vouchers. We are

looking forward to receiving our order

shortly. Here’s the items our students can

look forward to enjoying soon:

10 x soccer balls 10 x netballs 2 x cricket bats 4 x rugby league

balls

We would like to thank the construction company, St Hillier's, who are building our new Multi-Purpose Centre. They have very generously donated a Canon camera and lens kit (valued at over $1000) for the use of our Art and Photography students.




Rewards Excursions

Congratulations to the students who were fortunate enough to attend Reward Excursions recently. These excursions are a nice way to celebrate students success for our first semester.

Year 9 enjoyed an afternoon bowling (pictured below).

On Thursday 26th July, fifty Year 7 students accompanied by Mr Turner and Mrs Jones went to see Show Dogs at the local cinema. This was their reward for outstanding effort in Semester One, as demonstrated on their Half Yearly Reports. It was fantastic to be able to invite almost half of the year group. The students all enjoyed the movie and were excellent ambassadors for our school. We look forward to another excellent semester for Year 7 and hope that even more students are invited to out Rewards Excursion at the end of Semester Two.

The Richmond Boys Squadron of the Australian Air League is now enrolling cadets for Term 3 2018 at its meeting location at Richmond Public School, 115 Windsor St Richmond on Friday evenings from 7:00 until 9:00pm. The Richmond Boys Squadron is also looking for adults who would be interested in volunteering with the Australian Air League to help these young Australians achieve their goals.

The Australian Air League is a nationwide organisation for young people and is staffed by volunteers and self-funding. It teaches leadership skills and provides a wide range of interesting and exciting activities such as camping and hiking, sport and physical recreation, building and flying model aircraft and ceremonial drill. Through classes and practical demonstration members learn the theory of aviation and a wide range of associated topics such as Meteorology, Navigation, Aero Engines and Aircraft Construction, as well as general interest subjects such as photography, field craft and community service. The Air League also provides a range of flying experiences for its members, from simple scenic joy flights through to gliding and powered-flying training, from private pilot licence (PPL) through to airline entry standards – all in aircraft owned, operated and professionally maintained by our staff.
