PRINCIPAL’S NEWS

Hello to the Rosebud Secondary College community. We are now at the start of semester two and fast approaching the end of term. This week I spoke at the whole school assembly about the importance of making a good start and reflecting on the feedback teachers had given them in the semester one reports when these come out next week. The whole school assembly was again a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of many students at the school.

Next week we have called a meeting to form the new Rosebud Secondary College Parents and Friend Association. There is more detailed information in this newsletter regarding the purpose of the group. I would encourage any families with an interest in contributing even in a small way to attend this meeting. The group will meet twice per term and run various activities that raise funds for projects or assist with school events. One of our major focus areas will be the development of the Wellness Pavilion. The meeting will be held in the staffroom at the College on Thursday June 25th at 5:30pm.

Last week the Victorian Government launched a conversation about what it means to be the ‘Education State’. This is a fascinating conversation ranging across many groups and I encourage you to get involved. There are significant funds set aside in the education budget and the allocation of these will be guided by the outcomes of this work. More information can be found at the link below and I have included a letter from the minister in this newsletter. http://educationstate.education.vic.gov.au/education-state

You may have noticed some significant changes taking place outside the front of the school along Eastbourne Road. This large garden project has been one year in the planning and is now coming to fruition with the work of our Hands on Learning group. While there is still significant work to be completed you can now see the basic outline of the works and the central section which will display the seat constructed using the old Rosebud High School sign. This project has been student led in design and now in construction. I would like to acknowledge the contribution of the HoL team lead by staff members Liam Kelly and Franz Mahr and the students involved. Check out the photo albums on our Facebook page.

Recently I attended the Fit to Drive launch at Arthurs Seat. Year 12 student Brooke Kinna spoke passionately about the program and the influence it has had on her as she approaches independent driving. We will keep you informed as the event comes closer and encourage families to be involved in this important event which supports the provision of F2D in local schools. The event will be held on Sunday 8th November.

Congratulations to Alex Dellaportas who was recently presented with a Premiers Award for her perfect study score in Australian History. Her teacher Rose Kirchhof attended along with Felix Patton. It was a great recognition for Alex and we wish her the best of luck with her VCE this year.

I would like to thank the music staff including Geoff Jones, Roger Anderson and Sam Clough on the winter music concert held on Friday 5th June. There were a great many students displaying their talents to the community. This once again demonstrated the strength in our music program at the College.

ORGANISATIONAL MATTERS Semester 1 reports will be uploaded to Xuno SMT on Friday 26th June at the end of the school day.

Last day of term two: Friday 26th June at 2:12pm.

Start of term three: Monday 13th July.

We are now heading into the colder months and have noticed some students are not bringing correct uniform to school such as jumpers and spray jackets for the colder months. We ask for family support regarding uniform as we cannot accept continual notes asking for uniform passes. As a general rule a pass is only issued for one day. If you are unsure about uniform or accepted shoe styles please check the school diary or website for more detailed information or contact the school.

WAKAKIRRI

Wakakirri rehearsals are well and truly underway. A team of 57 students will be performing ‘One of Us’ at

Frankston Art Centre on Friday 28th August. Leading Choreographers Sophie Armstrong and Alex

Dellaportas have been busy planning and

choreographing the dance piece, based on a story of

two sisters torn apart during the Holocaust, where

only one sister will survive to tell their story. The

emotional and dramatic piece is still very much a work

in progress, however all students involved are engaged

and determined to make the piece come to life over

the coming two months. Ticket forms will be

distributed to all families of those involved before the

HELP SHAPE THE EDUCATION STATE

Dear Parents, The most important thing that we can do as a school community is to make sure we give each and every student a great education and a great start to life. I know from speaking to many of you that you have great ideas for how we can improve the education we provide our students at school, and more broadly how we can improve our school system as a whole. I also regularly hear ideas from our staff, our school council, our local businesses and others in the community on how we can make our education system even better. The Victorian Government has committed to making Victoria the Education State and has recently begun a consultation process – asking for us to share our ideas and experiences, our challenges and solutions – to help us improve our education system across the state. This is an opportunity for all of us to have our say and play a role in shaping what our education system will look like in the years to come. I will be thinking about how I can contribute my ideas to this consultation and I will be asking our staff to participate as well. I invite you to join in the conversation, because your ideas and insights – as parents of children currently in our school system – are critical to making sure we get the vision right for our state to become the Education State. You could also use social media to encourage your family and friends to join the discussion – education impacts everybody, and everyone deserves the opportunity to have their say. The best way to get involved is to go to educationstate.education.vic.gov.au where you can join in the online conversations or register to attend one of the sessions running across the state throughout June and July. As always, I invite you to share your ideas with me on what is working well and what we can do better. The Hon James Merlino MP Deputy Premier Minister for Education

FAMILY STATEMENTS

Many families would have received a statement late last week detailing their current financial situation.

Thank you to those families who have responded and either paid their account in full or made a part payment.

Every payment we receive in relation to the Essential Education Item (EEI) charge, means we are able to contin-

ue the high standard of education Rosebud Secondary College provides to our students.

We acknowledge that some families struggle financially to pay their EEI, and this is where the………..

SCHOOLKIDS BONUS

a payment from the Commonwealth Government to assist families with the costs of educating their children,

comes into play. As previously advertised, the SchoolKids Bonus ceases in July 2015. Over the term break, eligi-

ble families will receive their FINAL PAYMENT. To make the most of what the SchoolKids Bonus is intended for,

parents can transfer funds into their family account at the school, use it towards outstanding charges or have it

sit there as a credit (we don’t allocate it to anything unless you have told us to), for use any time in the future.

CAMPS SPORTS EXCURSIONS FUND

This is a new fund, provided by the State Government, to assist eligible families with the cost of students attend-

ing camps, sports, excursions/incursions organized by the school. For more information see

SPORTS NEWS INTERMEDIATE GIRLS NETBALL

The Netball was contested in damp, slippery conditions earlier this week at the Morning-ton Netball Courts. Two teams from Rosebud contested the Peninsula Year 9 and 10 division Championships. The A team started the day off strongly with good wins against Mount Eliza and Dromana and the round against Mornington proved to be the Grand Final in the round robin tournament. The match was closely fought for the entire duration, but Mornington proved to be the better team on the day. A win against Western Port completed a successful day. Well played by all team members, Izabella Woinarski, Macy Hall, Hollie Dunston, Casey Raphael, Shannon Young, Lily Wills, Tuscani Closter, Olivia Okey and Bonnie Street-Harris. (Pictured below). The B team contested well all day, but unfortunately didn’t quite get more goals than the opposition in any of their games. They were valiant all day. All team members, Molly Austin, Brooke Fankhauser, Annalise Magee, Morgan Costello, Rediet Gifford, Mikayla Oakhill, Laila Cooke and Amber Baker can be well pleased with their efforts. Well done to all girls for a consistent and fine performance in all games Pat Egan

SENIOR BOYS’ FOOTY 2015

The Senior Boys Football team was hit hard by school commitments, injury and some no shows this year. They played one short and with no bench. Despite these setbacks the boys performed admirably on the day, winning 1 game and losing another to finish 2nd overall. Led by inspirational captain Fletcher Hustwaite as well as Jarrah ‘Voice of a generation’ Primrose the boys worked hard to dominate the first game. Nathan Abbott was Hayden Ballantyne-like around the goals and Jake Huxtable was a star down at full back, setting up 2 goals. Brock ‘The Enforcer’ McKenzie and Lachie ‘Twinkle Toes’ Taylor battled manfully in the ruck and Max Kleverkamp was a dynamo in the middle. The pace of Jacob Raphael and Ben Williamson was always a worry to the opposition. Adam Jared, Jai Brown and Matt Suric were hard at the ball all day. Unfortunately, playing back-to-back games with a player short took its toll and the boys were overrun in the second half of game 2. The winner of the Jarrah Primrose Best Player of the Day Award was won by Adam Jarred. Game 1: Rosebud 17.12 (114) def Mount Eliza 5.6 (36) Goals: Abbott 4, Taylor 2, Harris 2, Kleverkamp 2, Williamson 2, Suric 1, Jarred 1, Hamszak 1, Huxtable 1 Best: Huxtable, Taylor, Harris, Suric, Kleverkamp Game 2: Rosebud 8.6 (54) lost to Mornington 16.12 (108) Goals: Kleverkamp 2, Williamson 2, Abbott 1, Taylor 1, Harris 1, Jarred 1 Best: Hustwaite, Jarred, Taylor, Williamson, Brown Mr Albress

COLLEGE NEWS SMILING MINDS: OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH IMPORTANT

ACTION RESEARCH. From the beginning of Term Two, a dedicated team of teachers have been involving classes in the practice of Mindfulness Meditation, supported by the Smiling Mind Research Project. This has involved parental consent for their child to participate in the data gathering, which consists of two online surveys designed to measure levels of school connectedness and wellbeing. The mindfulness activities have been delivered three times per week, as lesson starters, with the students learning techniques to find a sense of calm and focus, which can be applied by the student at other times in their day or night. We were delighted to receive this letter from the well-known and highly regarded Dr Michael Carr-Gregg on Tuesday May 19th.

Dear Geoff, Daryl and the Smiling Mind Research Project teachers at Rosebud Secondary College As a practicing child and adolescent psychologist and Board Member of Smiling Mind I would like to extend my heart-felt thanks for the amazing work, time and commitment you have put into the Smiling Mind Research Project to date. It needs to be acknowledged that Meditation is not an easy subject to introduce to adults let alone students and I understand you have all been doing an incredible job, introducing the concepts, practising the mediations in class, getting parent consent, completing surveys and of course logging the meditations for the research data. There is a growing wave of interest in providing young people with simple tools to look after their minds as well as their bodies. Currently 1 in 7 primary schools students and 1 in 4 secondary school students will suffer with a mental health issue. 75% will never receive help. As most of these issues will appear before the age of 25, there needs to be a more concentrated investment in prevention at an early age. I truly believe Mindfulness Meditation can provide life long tools to create happier, healthier and more compassionate young people and play a major role in preventing many of these mental health issues. We cannot focus the attention of Government on the benefits of meditation in schools without evidence based research. This project is vital to achieve the goal of introducing these skills into mainstream education. The results of the research will be widely disseminated both in Australia and abroad. Here In Australia, we are at the beginning of a significant wave of interest in this subject and your school is amongst the first to introduce meditation into the school day on a regular basis. I applaud your commitment and on-going dedication to complete the project. Anecdotally, I am hearing wonderful results already. Thank you for your involvement and for being part of this major piece of research in Australia. Together we will make a significant difference to the health, wellbeing, and lives of young people.

WELLNESS PAVILION: UPDATE Planning has been taking place steadily with publicity material about to be released outlining the significance of the project, and especially launching ways for the community to become involved. One aspect of this has been to secure well known identities to serve as ambassadors to the Wellness Pavilion project. To date we are pleased to announce that we have secured Dr Craig Hassad (Monash University School of General Practice), Mark Dobson (motivator and author) and Sally Fitzgibbons (world tour event winning surfer). Each of these ambassadors bring focus to specific areas of the Wellness Pavilion, and will capture the interest and imagination of the wider community. We are continuing to work with several other high profile people to further underline the significance of the establishment of these facilities to support wellbeing and mental health. We expect building to commence in 2016, and the college website will soon be updated to include links to the project and ways to support directly.

PARENTS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION

It has been more than 20 years since Rosebud Secondary College had an active group of parents operating as a committee to support the school in various ways, including fundraising and acting as a sounding board to the school administration. Robyn Van Lieshout has worked single handedly in the fundraising role and we acknowledge the fine work she does, especially around the annual Presentation Ball events. But we cannot rely on one person, and we know that across the wider parent body there are many folks wanting to be involved to support the school and therefore the students within it. And with a project of the magnitude of the Wellness Pavilion, along with multiple day to day requirements in our school, there is great capacity for parent involvement and support. We are calling a meeting for interested parents to hear more about the roles of a Parents and Friends Association, and to register your interest to join in some capacity, be it as a committee member or by getting involved with specific activities and projects. The sorts of activities have included assistance in the Library, in the Technology workshops, reading support and of course the numerous sausage sizzling that links to events such as transition activities and parent meetings. We have plans for example, of running the first of many barbeque breakfasts for Dads leading into Fathers’ Day and we will need helpers for that of course. But on the horizon right now will be the biggest event for this year, and it will occur on Saturday November 28th as a fundraiser for the Wellness Pavilion. Michael Whitingslow has linked up with us to run a Mindfulness Festival at the Boneo Maze, in Limestone Road. Whilst planning is in the early stage, we will need a significant number of helpers for the event, ranging from involvement in planning the event, to carparking and general set up on the day. The meeting will be held at 5:30pm, Thursday June 25th in the staffroom. We do not envisage running a long meeting, and we look forward to meeting you there and registering your intended involvement.
