YEOVAL CENTRAL SCHOOL

Term 3 Week 2

27 July 2020

Together we inspire Together we learn Together we achieve

At Yeoval Central School we inspire all to be responsible, respectful learners. Working together to achieve and grow.

Year 11 and 12 have returned with renewed vigour

for their last terms in their respective year groups.

Some of our students are celebrating excellent

results in recent assessment tasks.

Year 11 Standard English completed their study of

the poetry of Wilfred Owen by composing visual

texts that represent Owen’s thematic concerns and

then providing a justification for their

compositional choices. This process enabled

students to increase their deep understanding of

his key concepts and also make considered choices

in their own textual manipulation.

In Term 2 Year 11 English Studies and English

Standard are delving into digital texts, examining

the impact of the big screen and online texts such

as podcasts on our everyday worlds. Year 11

Advanced are taking on the challenge of a flawed

Shakespearean hero by immersing themselves in

the tale of ‘Othello’.

Our Year 12 cohort is in deep preparation for their

Higher School Certificate trial examinations. Their

preparation will be enhanced by their involvement

in the Western Access Program study week during

Week 2. During this time, all Stage 6 students will

attend workshops at the respective schools and

enjoy face to face time with their peers and

coordinating teachers.

Mrs Helen Tremain

At Yeoval Central School we are respectful, responsible and cooperative.

Our PBL focus areas for Term 1 Weeks 1-5 are:

Follow instructions first time Keep your hands to yourself and think before you act

Stage 6 English

This week our senior students are spending each day at a WAP school working with their course

coordinators and peers. We have hosted all schools at YCS today for Mathematics Standard 1,

Mathematics Standard 2, Numeracy, Biology, English Standard, English Studies and Primary Industries.

These learning opportunities support our high expectations in the senior years.

Your child will receive their Semester 1 report this week. Should you have any questions or would like to

discuss their progress, please call the school to speak with their teacher.

I was very proud to have our school chosen from over 2000 public school in NSW to showcase our Learning

from Home journey during Terms 1 and 2. Check out our Facebook page for the link to the article. Now

that we have been back at school for a few months we will be surveying our community this week about

what worked for you and what adjustments you would like to see if we were ever in this situation again.

This forms part of our continual journey of improvement.

Next week we celebrate Public Education! All students will be involved in activities on Monday with the

launch of our VIVOs reward system for behaviour. There will be other virtual activities throughout the

week that the NSW Department of Education have organised to recognise the great opportunities that we

afford public school children with the ‘Learning together’ theme.

K/1/2 Mathematics

Find us on Facebook We are a member of the Western Access Program

K12 spent some time exploring equivalence. They learnt that the equals sign

means that both parts on either side are equal. It is not just there for us to

write an answer to a problem.

We used the balance scales to balance out some simple problems. e.g.

10=6+? They tried some different problems then came up with their own as

a group.
