MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY VISIT
Fifteen students from Years 8 to 12 were trained to show a range of fun and exciting Science demonstrations to all our Year 7 classes and our Support Unit classes. Casino High School is fortunate to be partner school with the Macquarie University National Indigenous Science Education Program (NISEP). The team visits Casino each year. Dry ice magic, invisible ink, microscopy, elephant’s toothpaste, stick insects, slime and more fun activities were enjoyed by all. Thank you to students who were Mentors for the Macquarie University NISEP Program. Naomi Robinson, Zoe Williams, Sophie Williams, Portia Bienke-West, Lachlan Graham, Emily Burston, Jamaia Wilkinson, Isaachar Fraser, Declan Bienke-West and Tallulah Mohammed

Summerland Future Careers Options Last week some 60 exhibitors from various education providers, industry and career agencies had a very successful day assisting 1500 students ( 15 from Casino High) in their decision making for post school options. Exhibitors and students gave extremely positive feedback on the day. Quotes from Casino Students:- Something for everybody no matter what you are into. Great opportunities in one place and a fun day. Every Year 11 and 12 should come. Eye opening and assisted directing my career thoughts. Good to get all the different uni information. Possibilities were eye opening Not all courses require an ATAR some have auditions or require portfolios

STATEMENTS OF ACCOUNT
SCHOOL CONTRIBUTIONS: Statements of Account have been posted out to parents and carers this week. Below is information from the School Handbook regarding contributions. EFTPOS facilities are now available. Parents are reminded that receipting closes at 1.30pm each day.
GENERAL SCHOOL CONTRIBUTION A contribution is charged to purchase such things as sporting equipment, teaching materials, library books and printed sheets. Invoices are sent out regularly to encourage parents to meet this commitment. School contributions are not compulsory and payment is a matter for decision by parents. Parents/carers are welcome to make part payments. We would ask all parents to make these payments as they are an important source of income for the school.
SUBJECT CONTRIBUTION Subject contributions are used to pay for materials used by students in practical subjects and specific subjects that students have chosen to study. These subjects are known as electives. Practical subject contributions are to be paid early in Term 1 so that students are able to participate in quality practical learning experiences. Invoices are sent out regularly to remind parents of this requirement.
If subject contributions are not paid, students’ practical projects will not be released from the school for students to take home.
Parents who cannot pay for subject contributions because of hardship may be assisted from the Student Assistance Scheme. Parents should make themselves aware of the contributions involved when students make their choices of elective subjects.
SCHOOL READ-A-THON
We’re holding the School Read-A-Thon as a major fundraising event this year! The event will be held between
22nd August – 2nd September! This is a sponsorship based fundraiser, and we’re looking to raise $5000, so all
help is appreciated!
The School Read-A-Thon promotes literacy to our students in a fun and engaging way! It’s all about participation
and we’re organsing a great day for our school community. Family support is key to our fundraising success and
we encourage all students to get involved.
Keep your eyes peeled for the parent/carer letter which will be sent home with your child. Students who raise
just $10 or more will receive a reward for effort. In the Sponsorship Form students will also find many other
benefits like the chance to win a Samsung Tablet every week!
The School Read-A-Thon is a great alternative to junk food fundraising. The event sends the right message to
students about having fun while getting involved and being active.
We’re really hoping you will get behind us on this fundraiser to ensure we hit our fundraising goal, which will
allow the school to purchase a 3D PRINTER for the Library and AIRCONDITIONING for the school gym.
Thanks so much for all of your support, let’s have some fun reading!
