SCIENCE FACULTY NEWS…..

Bird Enrichment Toy Project At the end of Term 2, 7.2 Science class had an opportunity to

spend the day working with the Wambangalang Environmental

Education Centre (EEC) teacher, Kristy Robberts on a Bird

Enrichment Toy Project. The class had been studying Adaptations

of Australian animals in their environments in their unit of work

on ‘Looking at Life’. Kristy spoke to the students about four

species of native birds and their features that enabled them to

adapt to the Australian bush. She shared her wealth of knowledge

of birds and how they interact with our local environment. Kristy

also asked the students to think about the lives of animals in

captivity and how, as humans, we can reduce their boredom by

enriching their cages or enclosures. The 7.2 students used the

chickens in the Ag Block to use as a case study and spend time observing

the chickens and completing an ethogram. Bird enrichment toys were

designed and constructed for Cockatoos, Budgerigars and Chickens using

a range of materials during the afternoon session. Kristy was able to take

the Enrichment Toys back to her school and record the birds interacting

with the toys. During the project the students conducted field work, made

and recorded scientific observations, worked collaboratively and were

able to use elements of design when constructing their bird enrichment

toys. 7.2 would like to thank Kristy Robberts for coming to Delroy to

share her expertise with us and helping them connect their learning in

Science to real life experiences.

If you have budgerigars at home and would like to do some behaviour

observations or some ideas on how to use enrichment toys you might like

STRIVE CLASS SCOOP…..

This semester is well into swing with students beginning their new topics for study in Science, English and Geography and finalising

their learning on Circles in Maths.

This term’s Cross-Curriculum Integrated Unit of Work Beyond Tomorrow incorporates students’ English and Geography lessons, as

they complete a close-study of text and explore ways in which the world has changed and the implications of this now and into the

future. Students will present a persuasive text in the form of a speech towards the end of the term where they consider solutions to

making the world a better place.

Our Science studies around Managing Earth’s Resources/Sustainability also link beautifully to the work being studied in English and

Geography. Here students will explore the place of Science in how we use and manage resources for a sustainable future. It is hoped

that students will also be able to visit the Dubbo City Council Water Treatment Plant as part of their investigation on how scientific

knowledge of the water cycle has influenced water management practices. Students will complete a topic test and research project as

part of their assessment in Science.

As mentioned already, we are wrapping up our study on Circles in Maths before moving onto Volume and later Financial Mathematics.

Students will complete a topic test in Week 9 on these topics as well as Area of Plane Shapes which was studied in the latter part of last

term. To actively prepare for this test, students should be revising their work and completing homework on a regular basis.

We resume our catering of afternoon tea for Homework Centre this week, with students making Spinach, Feta and Bacon Rolls; and

Banana Choc Chip Muffins. In Week 1, students developed their individual culinary skills and made a range of fun yet healthy

appetisers (accompanying photo). Thanks again to Woolworths Delroy Park for their ongoing support - without it this aspect of the

Strive curriculum would be impossible.

NAPLAN - Preparing To Go On-Line. During Week 6 Delroy will be involved in undertaking a Readiness Check testing for Year 7 & Year 9.

This will take the form of two forty minute tasks to assess competency in writing and combined literacy/numeracy using computers.

Year 9 will complete their tasks on Monday and Tuesday the 21st and 22nd of August. Year 7 will follow on Wednesday and

Thursday 23rd and 24th of August. All tasks will be run during Periods 1 and 2 of each day.

Our Year 7 students will be able to experience how NAPLAN may be presented to them when they sit for it in Year 9. For Year 9

students, this will be an insight as to how they will need to complete NAPLAN tasks if they wish to do their HSC and do not gain a

Band 8 in each of the NAPLAN tests from Week 3 of Term 2 this year.

Our students are playing a major part in preparing for the future in both NAPLAN and the HSC and they are to be encouraged to

approach the tasks in Week 6 with a positive attitude and try their hardest.

Mrs F Riley

On-Line NAPLAN Coordinator for Delroy

Homework Centre Homework centre is held on Wednesdays in the Learning Centre. Staff are on hand to assist

all students with their homework, catching up on missed tasks or help on assessment tasks

from 3.30pm-5.00pm. Transport home will be provided if your child has a written note to

give permission for the Clontarf staff to drop home from school.

The homework centre is another way our school is committed to helping all students achieve

their best.

Information for parents and carers WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION?

The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School

Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an

annual collection that counts the number of school students

receiving an adjustment due to disability and the level of

reasonable adjustment they are receiving.

The national data collection counts students who have been

identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to

address a disability as defined under the Disability Discrimi-

nation Act 1992 (the DDA). The DDA can be accessed from

the ComLaw website at www.comlaw.gov.au.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD?

The aim of the national data collection is to collect quality

information about school students receiving an adjustment due

to disability in Australia.

This information will help teachers, principals, education

authorities and families to better support students with

disability to take part in school on the same basis as other

students.

The national data collection provides an opportunity for

schools to review their learning and support systems and

processes to continually improve education outcomes for their

students with disability.

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED?

All schools across Australia collect information about students

with disability. But the type of information currently collected

varies between each state and territory and across government,

Catholic and independent school sectors.

When undertaking the national data collection, every school in

Australia uses the same method to collect information.

Therefore, a government school in suburban Sydney collects

and submits data in the same way as a Catholic school in

country Victoria and an independent school in the Northern

Territory.

The annual collection aims to, over time, lead to nationally

consistent, high quality data that will enable schools,

education authorities and governments to gain a more

complete understanding of students who are receiving

adjustments because of disability in schools in Australia, and

how to best support them.

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY?

All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at

school.

Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments, where

needed, to assist students with disability to access and partici-

pate in education free from discrimination and on the same

basis as other students.

These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the

Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards). The

Standards require educators, students, parents and others (e.g.

allied health professionals) to work together so that students

with disability can participate in education.

The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at

www.comlaw.gov.au.

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT? A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a

student with disability access and participate in education on

the same basis as other students. Reasonable adjustments

reflect the assessed individual needs of the student, and are

provided in consultation with the student and/or their parents

and carers. Reasonable adjustments can be made across the

whole school setting (e.g. ramps into school buildings), in the

classroom (such as adapting teaching methods) and at an

individual student level (e.g. extra tuition for a student with

learning difficulties).

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED? Every year your child’s school will collect the following

information for each student receiving an adjustment due to

disability:

the student’s level of education (i.e. primary or

secondary)

the student’s level of adjustment

the student’s broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be available to all

governments to inform policy and program improvement for

students with disability.

The information collected by schools will be available to all

governments to inform policy and program improvement for

students with disability.

WHO IS INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL

DATA COLLECTION?

The definition of disability for the national data collection is

based on the broad definition under the DDA.

For the purposes of the national data collection, students with

learning difficulties, such as dyslexia or auditory processing

disorder, as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy or

diabetes, that require monitoring and the provision of adjust-

ments by the school, may be included.

WHO COLLECTS INFORMATION FOR THE

NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION?

Teachers and school staff count the number of students receiving

an adjustment due to disability in their school, and the level of

reasonable adjustment they are provided, based on:

consultation with parents and carers in the course of

determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school team’s observations and professional

judgements

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information.

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information

identified about each student is accurate.

HOW IS MY CHILD’S PRIVACY

PROTECTED?

Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and

their families is essential and is an explicit focus of the na-

tional data collection. Personal details, such as student names

or other identifying information, are not provided to local or

federal education authorities.

Further information about privacy is available from

www.education.gov.au/notices.

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION

COMPULSORY?

Yes. All education ministers agreed to full implementation of

the national data collection from 2015. This means that all

schools must now collect and submit information annually

on the number of students receiving adjustments due to

disability in their care, and the level of adjustment they

receive.

Information about the arrangements that may apply to your

school in relation to this data collection is available from

your child’s school principal and the relevant education

authority.

Students with Disability.

BACK TO SCHOOL TIPS FOR PARENTS

As we commence Term Three of the school year, it is timely to remind ourselves to slow down and look out for children around

schools during school hours. It is also timely to update ourselves with new school zone parking offences now in place from 1

July 2017.

Drivers and riders should allow for children who may act unpredictably on the road as uncertainty and excitement over the new

school term overrides otherwise sensible behaviour.

Please remember to abide by School Zone speed limits of 40 km/h from 8.00 am to 9.30 am in the mornings and 2.30 pm and

4.00 pm in the afternoons.

Parents are reminded also to brush up on their safe parking skills around schools when dropping off and collecting their

children.

Use the kerb-side doors for children to access and egress the car.

Do not allow children to go to the rear of the car to deposit their bags in the back door (or boot).

Do not call children from across the road to your car, collect them from their side of the road or park legally where

you can and go to meet them, then cross the road together.

Illegal school zone parking causes dangerous situations and brings with it some heavy fines as follows:

No Stopping - means you cannot stop in this area unless there is a medical or other emergency - $325 fine plus 2

demerit points.

No Parking – means you can stop here for a maximum of two minutes to drop off or pick up passengers and you must

stay within three metres of your car at all times - $180 fine plus 2 demerit points.

Bus Zone – School Days – means you must not stop or park your vehicle in a designated school bus zone between 8.00

am and 9.30 am or between 2.30 pm and 4.00 pm - $325 fine plus 2 demerit points.

Stop on or near a children’s crossing – means you must not stop on or within 20 metres of the approach of a crossing

or within 10 metres after the crossing - $433 fine plus 2 demerit points.

Double parking (school zone) - means you must not stop on a road between the centre of the road and another vehicle

parked at the side of the road - $325 fine plus 2 demerit points.

INFORMATION FOR YOUR SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE….. continued from page 1

Mr Grant announced he had been able to secure $3.5million for schools in the Dubbo electorate to address the maintenance

backlog with Delroy receiving an additional $400,000! Wow! How fantastic! The school will work the Assets department to

prioritise the projects.

A big thank you to Deb Sense and our wonderful cleaners for the hard work they always put into making sure the school looks

at is best all the time!

There are lots of exciting things planned for Delroy this semester. NAPLAN readiness on-line testing is in Week 6 of this term

and yes, it is exciting because we will be trialling the completing of exams on-line which is the way of the future world so it is

good to get as much practice as possible. We also have the VALID science test for Year 8 in Weeks 7 and 8 and for Year 10 in

Term 4. In December, we will have Delroy in December as well. The students have been competing in the Ken Eggleton Cup

against St Johns with Dubbo College the winners this year! Well done teams. We are now participating in the Serisier Cup

against South Campus, I know our students will show good sportsmanship at all times. Be gracious in defeat and humble in

victory.

In Week 9, Wednesday 13th September we will have parent teacher interviews which will require on line booking using the

parent portal on the Sentral app. More information will be given closer to the date. It is really important that the school has your

correct email address, so, if you could left the office staff know that would be terrific.

Just a reminder that all students are expected to wear uniform to school, including black enclosed shoes. The new uniform has

many options so please pop along to the Uniform Shop in Macquarie St near Bob Jane T Mart to purchase items as they are

required. Thank you, Mrs Head Principal. 9
