Bellingen High School emphasise the importance of mental health by holding
an R U OK Day every term. Our Term 2 R U OK Day involved everyone
receiving a fact sheet to keep and read during RATS. At lunchtime our SMILE
mentors organised a mini cupcake stall - students, in groups of 4, committed to
looking out for each other, and in return received a cupcake with R, U, O or K
on top!

Hi from Home Economics
This term Year 10 Food Technology classes
have been looking at Food Trends in Australia
and around the world. This week the students
made sponge cakes with jam and cream as a
treat for Mother’s Day (however we doubt
many cakes made it home to mum as the
students gobbled them up pretty quick, sorry
Mum!).
Students are now working on their selected
themed recipes and look forward to
presenting their meals in the coming weeks.

CAPA Music Notes Music Composition Workshop
Our senior music students had the wonderful opportunity on Monday of working with Paul Jarman, one of Australia’s most celebrated contemporary composers. Paul gave our students excellent advice for their HSC compositions! Our students left highly motivated and ready to go that ‘extra yard’ on their HSC compositions. He was extremely impressed with the work done by the students and keen to do more with them!

P&C News People to People Exchange 2015
The P&C, in partnership with Bellingen Rotary Club has a great opportunity to raise funds, but we need your help.
On Sunday 12th July until Tuesday 14th July Bellingen will be host to around 50 young people and their leaders from the United States who are here as ambassadors on the People to People program. The youngsters, between 11 and 14 years of age are taking part in the program in order to experience a taste of life in another country and will be in Australia over a two week period travelling along the east coast staying at various venues. One very important part of their trip is to have a homestay in an Australian home to gain a firsthand idea of how ordinary Australians live.
We are therefore looking for around 25 host families who can accommodate and feed two students each (2 girls or boys, or more if you can!) for the two nights 12th and 13th July. Students arrive at about 4pm on the Sunday and leave again at 9am on the Tuesday. The Rotary Club will be organising their day on the Monday (although if you want to do something with the students and your own family, that’s fine). All adults in the household on those two nights must have a Working with Children Check. As it is a volunteer check there is no cost involved, but once the online submission is made individuals need to present at a motor registry with their number and photo ID e.g. drivers licence. This can take up to 2 weeks to process (but is usually much quicker). The website address is:
www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/Working-with-children/working-with-children/check
Please help us if you can – an information sheet is available from the school’s Front Office.
As you know the P&C is in great need of funds and this opportunity will help us a lot.

Zone Final Double Header
The Bellingen High School Open girls and Open boys football teams are both in
the Mid North Coast Zone Final.
The Open boys team earned their position in the final against Orara High School,
defeating them and then in a close tussle with Coffs Harbour Senior College saw
them winners 3-2.
The Open girls have had it somewhat easier defeating Orara High 24-0 and then
a very sound win over Woolgoolga High 6-2. The game against Woolgoolga saw
the Woopi girls come out firing with the wind behind them, putting repeated
pressure on our defensive line. With a few uncharacteristic defensive mistakes
Woolgoolga scored not once, but twice, in the first ten minutes.
However, this is where the girls displayed their class. Great teamwork with
excellent passing saw the girls repeatedly put pressure on the Woolgoolga goal.
At half time the score was 3-2 in our favour. The second half saw three more
unanswered goals with the final score 6-2. The girls will take on Coffs Harbour
High School in their final.

Girls continue to dominate
Our Bill Turner Trophy team (15 years girls’ football) played their second round
game of the competition against Macksville High. It didn’t take long for the
girls to open the score converting a goal in the second minute of play. The girls
continued to dominate with the full time score of 15-0 after their first round
score of 18-0 against Dorrigo High.
These girls are a strong team that pass the ball well and have many good
finishers. This is displayed in the fact that in both games the goals were shared
between 6 players. Their next game will be against the winner of John Paul
College and Coffs Harbour High.
