One College – Unlimited Opportunities

During week five, students from Great Lakes

College performed in the Speech and Drama

Eisteddfod in Taree. Students participated in a

number of sections including the prepared

speech, duologue, unscripted drama, playbuild

and scripted drama sections. All students

performed well throughout the event and this led

to lots of success for the college.

Year 10 Forster Campus student Ella Smee got the

College’s Taree Eisteddfod campaign off to a

roaring start by receiving a highly commended for

her speech about school. This was followed by a

momentous victory for Year 9 Forster Campus

students, Abbey Loadsman and Janaiya Hurry,

who were victorious with their play titled ‘Jack

and Jill.’

The title wave of accolades continued during

Thursday sessions with a first place for Tuncurry

Campus with their year 10 playbuild titled “You’ll

Get Over It.” Followed by a second place win from

Year 9 titled “The Crime.” Gabriel Zarb from Year

10 also received a $50 cheque for the best

performing male actor on the day.

Students and the accompanying teachers had all

in all a great day. Let us not forget the Queen

inspired coach karaoke, on the journey home,

that kept everyone in high spirits until the closing

of the bus doors signalled the end of a successful

day. Great Lakes College truly is one campus that

provides its students with unlimited

opportunities.

YOUNG CREATIVE ARTISTS AT WORK

During the term, Visual Arts and Photography

students across the three campuses have been

actively engaged in exploring the world around

them. They have been developing their own voice

to express what they make of this world through

art and photography.

On the first weekend in June, the Pacific Palms

Youth Art Festival was held at the Palms Public

School. Over 30 works from college students was

exhibited in the show. 17 students won First,

Second, Third and Highly Commended prizes

across six categories. Many of these with cash

prize money. These works were all exhibited in

the adult Pacific Palms Art Show over the long

weekend. This show attracts local and interstate

artists because of the prize money offered, and

also a large audience of local and visitors due to

coinciding with the holiday.

Whilst the artists have been busy and gaining

local attention, the musicians and actors have also

been at work. Fifty students from the three

campuses were given free tickets to attend a

workshop on the orchestra at The Manning

Entertainment Centre in May. Conducted by the

Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the students were

treated to an inspiring performance with

explanations of the various instruments and

works played. Staff and students came back

motivated by the experience ready to make

music.

Making music is exactly what the students have

been doing, with several entries being prepared

for the Taree Eisteddfod. The drama students

have also performed at the Eisteddfod. More

news on this to follow later.

GREAT LAKES AMERICAN TRIP

January 2021

An opportunity exists for students from Great

Lakes College to take part in a cultural exchange

trip to the United States of America for twenty

days, during January 2021.

Destinations include: Los Angeles (Disneyland,

Universal Studios, Hollywood, Santa Monica,

Beverly Hills, Knott’s Berry Farm and San Diego);

San Francisco (Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz);

and a hosting destination from a choice of Seattle,

Phoenix, San Diego, Portland and others.

A feature of the tour is that students spend

nearly two weeks living with an American Family.

This will be the eleventh time that students from

the Great Lakes area have had this opportunity,

following successful trips in 2003, 2005, 2007,

2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019.

The cost of the trip in 2021 will be approximately

$6895, which includes all airfares, transfers,

accommodation, breakfasts, sightseeing and

admission to attractions. As in previous years, the

trip will be restricted to students who will be in

Years 11, 12, or just left school after finishing their

HSC. (Years 9, 10 and 11 this year).

Interested students should have brought home

brochures concerning the trip. An information

night will be held on Tuesday, July 2nd to provide

parents with answers to commonly asked

questions, such as:

“How much spending money will my child need to

take?”

“How are the American Host families chosen?”

“Have the chaperones going on the trip

accompanying and supervising the travellers ever

done anything like this before?”

Students travel as part of a supervised group with

a teacher as Group Leader. Representatives from

Educational World Travel will be located in the

hotels and host city.

The Group Leader in charge will be in attendance

at the parent information evening, along with a

representative from Educational World Travel who

will explain the program in detail, distribute

application documents and answer any questions.

Please contact Mr Matt Avery at the Senior

Campus for further information.

The 2019 NSW All Schools and Combined High

Schools Canoeing Championships were held from

25-28 May. Students from 26 schools

participated at this year’s state championships.

Our team of Great Lakes College paddlers

consisted of seven paddlers from all three

campuses of Great Lakes College, Camden and

Dylan Ceccato, Brady and Luke McNeil, Max

Hamilton and Jock Sweeney. These paddlers

were accompanied by Forster Public School’s

Maxim Ceccato and Sophia Sweeney, from St

Claire’s High School.

The first day of completion was on the Clarence

River, Grafton for the flatwater events, then out

to the Mann River for the whitewater events in

slalom, sprints and wildwater.

All paddlers achieved lots of individual and team

successes across the four days of competition,

with regular podium finishes from most paddlers.

Unfortunately for us, Casino High School took the

All Schools and CHS Shields home this year,

beating Great Lakes only by a few points. Great

Lakes College paddlers are now determined to

win them back and bring the trophies home next

year. The team are now having a well-deserved

break but will resume with training in the spring

time, in preparation for the national titles held in

Tasmania next January.

Year 8 Girls

Girls League Tag

Three teams from Forster Campus participated in the CRL schools gala day for girls league tag on

Wednesday 12 June. The girls were excited to be playing representing Forster Campus.

Our 16 years girls team were runners up on the day after going down to St Clair ’s Taree. There

were some fantastic runs from Brooke Horvath and Indi Cooper with great efforts from all other

girls.

The Year 8 girls played a tough game against

Chatham High with a conversion the only

difference between the teams. Indi Maher

provided great direction as half back whilst Lucy

Pither used her speed to break the line

numerous times.

The Year 7 team was relatively inexperienced

and showed the greatest improvement over the

day. Superbly led by Sophie Blomgren who was

named as Player of the Day runner-up. The girls

had stacks of fun and hope to further develop

their skills over the next 12 months and take

out the title in 2020.

Rugby Union – Waratah Cup Finals

On Tuesday 18 June, Great Lakes College

students travelled to Kempsey to compete in the

Waratah Cup Rugby Union Finals. With lots of

big hits, evasive runs and strategic play, our

teams were gallant in their efforts to compete

against the Port Macquarie and Kempsey

Catholic schools. From first timers to Rugby

League and League Tag players adapting their

skills and even 1 regular rugby union player, our

students represented the college with respect

and outstanding sportsmanship. Despite not

advancing through to the next stage, our teams

had fun, learned while playing and kept smiling

throughout the entire day. At the end of the day,

coaches polled their team asking for a Players

Player. In the Under 14s girls team the award

went to Gabby Edwards from Forster Campus.

The under 14s boys award was shared between

Hamish Wilson and Jacob Earl both from

Tuncurry Campus and in the Under 16s girls

division, the player who polled the most votes

was Laura Wilson, also from Tuncurry Campus.

A huge congratulations to all involved!

One College – Unlimited Opportunities Third Time, Not Quite So Lucky

Great Lakes College’s all conquering boy’s tennis

team fell agonisingly close to a third straight

Hunter Regional title last week. As well as being

Hunter champions, the boys finished third in the

state at last year’s State Finals

The new look team of Sam Gibson & Eli Worldon,

both of Year 12 plus Nicolai Nash & Aiden Monk

both from Year 9 at Tuncurry Campus, had cruised

through the early rounds to qualify for the last

eight.

The finals day was played at District Park,

Broadmeadow. Our boys easily defeated Morisset

High in their quarter final, then eased past

Tomaree High in their semi-final. In the semi-final

the boys won all 4 of their singles sets.

The final against Lambton High was played

immediately after the semi-final. Sam & Eli won

their doubles in a highly entertaining & skilful set.

During the singles, Lambton took the lead overall

& went on to win in a tight contest.

The level of tennis from both teams was very high

& was appreciated by all those who watched it.

Sam & Eli have been part of a wonderfully

successful time in boy’s tennis at GLC & I’d like to

thank them for their huge efforts and

sportsmanship throughout. Nicolai and Aiden

should form the basis of a solid tennis team next

year.

Hand Ball Competition

The SRC conducted the start

of the handball comp in week

4; where student’s of Great

Lakes College Senior Campus

participated until week 7.

The SRC paired over 50 students and teachers to

compete against each other in a 1v1 handball

rally. We took gold coin donations and raised a

sum of $105 which went to the funds of the SRC

and contributed to the prizes of both female

winner and male winner, Cooper Sweeney and

Taleka Gilles.

There was a great display of comradery between

students and definitely a competitive nature

between staff and student matches. The handball

competition is an annual event the SRC will

continue to run.

In Week 6, Forster Campus had a number of

students from the Physical Activity and Sports

Studies and Child studies electives volunteer to

help out at the Forster Primary School athletics

carnival. They assisted the primary school

teachers with jobs including timekeeping for the

track events, helping out with the K-1 running

relays and measured distances in the field

events. With many commendations from the

primary school staff and lots of high fives from

the K-6 students, our students were highly

appreciated in their efforts. Future participation

in events like this are currently being negotiated

as it was of great benefit to all involved.

The Tuncurry Campus debating team consisting

of 1st speaker, Yvette Piscopo, 2nd speaker, Huon

Campbell-Ellis, 3rd speaker, Luke Maher and team

adviser Emily Cooper have had the experience of

participating in several debates over the exam

week.

We participated in the Taree and District

Eisteddfod where we made it to the final in which

we were up against St Clares High School, Taree.

Our topic for this debate was that “Education is

the key to success.” There was a selection

between two dictionaries with both affirmative

and negative written in them and we received

affirmative.

We argued about how everything we see around

us has had some form of education put into it,

whether it was a building that an engineer had to

work on, or a chair that an upholsterer made,

and that humans were the superior species

because of formalised education.

This was a great debate and the closest one

we’ve had so far.

We also debated in the Premier’s Debating

Challenge (a statewide comp) against Westport

College where we hosted the event and had the

Year 7 TEC class as an audience. Our topic for this

debate was that “All under 12s sporting teams

should be mixed.” This time, we were negative

for this debate and had to spend a lot of time

rebutting. It was also another great debate and

we came out successful, advancing on to the next

round in week 9 this term. Eisteddfod champions

and a few very good debates that we all gained a

lot of experience from and we can’t wait to see

what our next debates hold for us!

Change of sport procedure @ Tuncurry Campus

There have been some changes to the process of sport choices for Years 9 and 10 at Great Lakes

College Tuncurry Campus in an attempt to improve practices and create fair and equitable

opportunities for all students.

From Term 3 2019 onwards, the sport note for each student in Years 9 and 10 will be signed by their

parent/caregiver and then returned to Mr Ieroianni in the PDHPE staffroom in the first 15 minutes

of recess daily until Wednesday 19 June 2019. Notes will not be accepted after this date.

Students who fail to make a sport selection will be placed in a school based sport. Choosing a sport to leave the school is a privilege; therefore any students of concern at school may be precluded from their chosen sport. Additionally, those students who misbehave whilst at sport will be dealt with through the school discipline policy.

Students with outstanding sport fees will not be permitted to choose a paying sport until these fees

are finalised. Payment plans can be discussed with Mr Ieroianni prior to 19 June 2019.

Students are encouraged to choose their sport wisely as NO changes to sport selections will be made unless supported by a medical certificate. Please note some activities have a minimum and maximum capacity and therefore not all sports may run due to low numbers. Students who select these sports will need to choose again.

Once all notes have been submitted, sports will be assigned and then payments are able to be

processed from 24 June 2019 until 28 June 2019. It is not until both the note and the payment are

received that a guaranteed place is attained.

It is important that online payments not be made until your child/ward has been confirmed in a

sport. It is also important that paying online does not constitute a note and therefore your student

will not be accepted into the sport of their choice.

When paying through the parent portal please include the sport your student is paying for to enable

office staff to receipt correctly e.g. tenpin or gym (non member).

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school during

business hours.

Taste of TAFE day

40 students from Great Lakes College attended

the Taste of TAFE day. Students were invited to a

day at Taree TAFE to experience a sample of the

courses on offer. These included hair and beauty,

IT, early childcare, engineering, horticulture

and automotive.

Students had really positive feedback about the

day and were involved in practical activities

including potting a plant, designing a fingernail,

creating a Ethernet cable and making a metal

spatula.

The discussion forum, at the end of the

session, had guest speakers from Great Lakes

Council, TAFE, Department of Industry and

Charles Sturt University. A question and answer

forum was hosted by representatives from each

location to explain to students how life going

to TAFE leads to job opportunities or further

study at university.

It was a nice way for students to see how

apprenticeships are connected to TAFE, and to

understand that there is opportunity to integrate

a pathway with university in nursing or social

work for example. It was a great opportunity for

students to explore the TAFE campus and work in

classrooms with one to one access to TAFE

teachers.

A really positive community engagement activity

for students thinking TAFE, university study

integration and/ or a skills based career is a

possible future plan. While at the same

time reminding them that there are multiple

pathways to achieve success in their lives.

Future Moves Day Year 10

Future Moves has grown from CSU's commitment

to lift participation in higher education by students

from regional areas and disadvantaged

backgrounds.

It is a program for school students who have the

potential to succeed at university but may come

from families with little or no experience of higher

education. Future Moves introduces them to the

world of university study; communicates the

benefits of higher education and addresses

perceived barriers. This encourages students to

become more confident in considering tertiary

study as a realistic option for their future.

Future Moves aims to:

lift aspiration for university study;

introduce the idea of a career and lifelong learning;

raise awareness of post school options;

demonstrate pathways and options;

increase students' educational attainment whilst at school and

engage with parents to help them support their children in their post-secondary choices.

A few students expressed their opinion in an

interview about the Future Moves Day seminar.

Check it out on the Careers Facebook Page and the

Great Lakes College Facebook Page.

Elevates reputation for achieving behavioural

change has led the company to become an

International leader in education, working with

over 1,500 schools and 350,000 students in the UK,

USA, South Africa and Singapore. Elevate is bringing

world-leading STEM curricula to Australian schools.

We are fortunate enough to have Elevate come to

us at Great Lakes College Tuncurry on the 26 and

27 June. The young presenters have a successful

P & C NEWS

Update on Canteen Activities

The P&C is currently preparing to implement the

NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy, developed

by both the NSW Department of Education and the

NSW Ministry of Health. The strategy is to be

implemented by the end of this year and requires

that our canteen menu provides at least

three-quarters EVERYDAY food and drinks and no

more than one-quarter OCCASIONAL food and

drinks.

To meet these requirements the P&C Canteen

Committee, consisting of our Treasurer

Lee Caithness and Canteen Convener Lesley

Campbell, have been working hard with our

Canteen Managers Ros and Belinda to develop our

new menus. Work has first started with the senior

campus canteen, which has included engaging with

the Student Representative Council for thoughts

on what they believe the student body would like

on the menu. The changes will see more fresh

food being prepared in the canteen.

The committee will be implementing changes to

the menus throughout the remainder of this year,

in preparation for meeting the Healthy School

Canteen Strategy at the start of the 2020 school

year.

The P&C's only source of funds to support College activities is the profits

generated by the canteens. Volunteers working in the canteens is critical

in helping the P&C generating these profits and any help from the parent

body is greatly appreciated.

Next P&C Meeting Wednesday 3rd July, 6:30pm @ Tuncurry Campus Library

All parents are invited to attend these meetings

to learn what is happening within the college.

Meetings consist of a debrief from the college/

campus principals of what has happened since

the last meeting and what is planned in the

future, as well as special topic of discussion for

the meeting. It is a forum for positive

engagement between key stakeholders in the

College. An outcome of the March meeting,

which discussed the Elevate Program that was

conducted at the Forster campus prior to the

meeting, is the upcoming implementation of the

elevate program on the Tuncurry Campus. This

being due to the significant positive commentary

from Forster campus parents who attended the

meeting and the responsiveness of Paul

Rosenbaum, Tuncurry Campus Principal, in

sourcing this program. The elevate program has

a session for parents on the evening

of Wednesday 26 June which is very highly

recommended for all parent to attend, please

see information to be sent out shortly from the

college for more information.

Our special presentation this month will be by

Lee Ralston about Uniforms .
