Principal's Report

Communication

One of the school aims this year is to increase the opportunities for the school to communicate with parents. As such we have created a Facebook page for the school to promote upcoming events and to celebrate the successes of our students throughout the year. We are asking that for those of you on facebook that you "like" our page so that you get updated "newsfeeds".

On the other side of the communication situation, we have had trouble with our "text messaging" provider. As such the texting of absences has not been available to us for the last week. Once it functional we will send updated absence reports to all families.

25th Anniversary

Due to circumstances beyond our control we have had to shift the date for the school celebration. As such the new date is Saturday 29 October. Please share this date with past students, teachers and members of the Beerwah community. We are looking forward to a great afternoon of celebrations.

Reports

End of Term reports will be sent to all families this week. Please take the opportunity to discuss your child's results with them and make a booking for our "Student Performance Interviews" on July 19. At these interviews we will be encouraging students to lead the discussion around their own learning and their performance in Semester 1.

QSR

As mentioned in last month's newsletter the school is in the process of developing its strategic plan for 2016 -19. We are seeking parental feedback in a number of areas through the attached survey. Your input is appreciated and as such the survey will remain open till Friday 1 July.

Uniform

Last week you would have received an email indicating that students will be allowed to wear Navy tracksuit pants as a temporary response to the lack of appropriate uniforms at the uniform shop and local providers. There will be however a review of the school uniform in term 3 with representatives from the school, P&C and the student body

Quadrennial School Review

The development of the school's strategic plan for 2016 -2019 is the outcome of a Quadrennial School Review. Input from all key stakeholders is needed to ensure all priority areas are addressed in the plan. The school will be using input from a number of sources including the annual School Opinion Survey, the 2015 School Review as well as school data sets from subject A-E results, NAPLAN, OP ratings, Year 12 Post destinations as well as QCE attainment.

As such we are seeking additional parental feedback to assist us in developing focus areas for the Strategic Plan. We ask that you complete the survey through the link below. The survey will be open till June 23.

Master Teacher update

What an exciting and busy term 2 we have had at Beerwah SHS. We continue to have a relentless focus on the teaching of reading. We are progressing with our improvement agenda around reading.

Please remember that proficient readers are better able to remember and apply what they have read, create new background knowledge for themselves, discriminate and critically analyse texts. The very best way to improve reading comprehension is to read more. We ask that you support the school and your children by encouraging your students to read for at least 30 mins an evening.

At BSHS we know that a teacher's thoughtful consideration of strategies to teach reading is critical to the success of our students and their capacity to engage in the learning.

Tactical Reading - The majority of our teaching staff have been trained in the teaching of Tactical Reading and we have been busy implementing our new learnings and using explicit reading tools to assist students to develop their skills in reading. Thank you to Barb Mullins, Kath Bateman and Jacob Connor for providing the training to staff. We will be training our teacher aides next term so that our entire learning community is aligned and speaking the same language.

Eagle and Wolf - at BSHS our students are using their eagle and wolf skills to soar over and hunt through texts. This strategy is working well, especially in the junior school. Please ask your child/student to teach you the skills of the Eagle and the Wolf.

Our school wide commitment to reading strategies in all content areas has had a positive impact on student engagement at BSHS. Our teachers have been working very hard to meet our students' needs. I would like to thank all our staff for their commitment to the tactical teaching of reading.

I wish all our students a fantastic, safe and exciting holiday. See you all in Term 3.

Spin Off for Chappy

On Saturday 28 May, ten staff members from Beerwah High took part in a unique event aimed at raising funds for our school chaplaincy service. 'Spin Off' is a regional fundraising event held at the Goodlife Centre in Buderim and involves teams going head to head on spin bikes. It is a high-energy and fun event which really gets your competitive juices going. Our 'Beerwah High Bandits' won their heat riding 22.3km in 30 mins. Overall in the Adult Division they placed third out of eight schools (only 400m behind the second placed team). Our team was made up of Aleccia Franks, Luke Smith, Adam Budd, Ash Hunter, Bernie McMahon, Phil Barcham, Steve Jeffrey, Peter Voigt, Paul Hart & chaplain Mike Turner.

All funds raised by the team go towards wages for our school chaplain Mike Turner. Please support their efforts by donating. You can do this online at the link below, or post a cheque to the school made out to 'Beerwah High School Chaplaincy fund'. For more info, please contact Mike Turner via the school office on 5436 5333.

Worries and Anxieties: Helping Children to Cope

Children, like adults, have all sorts of strong feelings about what is happening to them. At times, the world can seem frightening or uncertain, which may create fearfulness, worry or anxiety.

Different Types of Anxiety

Fears and Phobias

Very young children often develop fears and phobias. These can be triggered by changes (going to childcare, separating from a parent), or particular things (spiders, snakes, monsters etc). Fears like these are common but with encouragement and support most children learn to overcome their anxiety.

General Anxiety

Some youngsters feel anxious most of the time for no apparent reason – it may be their temperament or may be a pattern of behaviour that is shared by other members of the family.

School-Related Anxiety

School refusal can be caused by anxiety – separating from parents, fear of bullying, problems with friendships, trouble with school work or teachers and are worth investigating.

Home Related Anxiety

Family problems (money issues, squabbling, separation/divorce), death of a family member or friend, harsh discipline or a traumatic experience e.g burglary can be a cause of anxiety (as well as depression).

What are the Signs?

• Feeling sick – stomach aches, headaches. Not being able to tolerate food.
• Feeling tense, fidgety, needing to go to the toilet often.
• Feeling fearful or panicky, breathless, sweaty.
• Being irritable, tearful, clingy or having sleeping difficulties.
• Withdrawing from social contact.

Anxiety can limit a person's experiences in life. It can contribute to lack of confidence, loneliness, health problems and learning difficulties. The emotional effects, if not remedied, can be long lasting.

What to do

• Talk to your child –show your child that you care and want to understand the reasons for their anxiety.
• Give comfort, reassurance and practical help with how to cope e.g. encourage helpful thoughts rather than focussing on unhelpful thoughts. (There are children's books to help children cope with divorce, death, anxieties.
• Prepare your child for changes. If possible give sufficient warning – talk to them about what might happen and why, as well as ways to manage the changes.
• For children with school/ separation anxiety, regular routines and consistency around sleep, and getting ready for school, having breakfast etc will generally improve the outcome.
• Be aware of school or family situations that may be creating worries for your child.
• Be aware of your own anxiety and protect your child from taking on your woes.
• Use relaxation techniques e.g controlling your breathing, listening to peaceful music, doing something you enjoy.
• Encourage daily exercise, healthy eating , drinking plenty of water, and most importantly getting enough sleep – children need at least 8 to 9 hours – A healthy body helps keep us on top of difficult situations .

If your child is so anxious that they can't cope, more specialist help may be needed. Have a chat with your guidance officer, and/ or see your doctor.

For some students SATs lead directly into full time or part time employment after they have completed school. Beerwah High thanks employers and industry for their support of our students as they embark on these pathways.

Please see an item in this newsletter issue written by Matt Jones, year 12 who has achieved many successes as a school based trainee.

Helen Skerman
Industry Liaison Officer

Congratulations to Matt Jones

Starting in 2014 as a school base trainee at ANZ Bank Beerwah, I didn't know what to expect. As I was presented with what I thought was an opportunity of a lifetime, and of course I took the opportunity with both hands. At the start it was very eye opening on what it takes to get a job and be successful in a large Australian Company and now my confidence has risen to an all-time high. My role within ANZ Bank is a Teller carrying out all facets of Banking within ANZ. A month ago my employer, Aboriginal Employment Strategies nominated me in the Queensland Training Awards as a nominee in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year. After learning of my nomination I had to complete an online nomination form about myself and my job role within my ANZ traineeship. Then I was short listed for the top five in my region of north coast which then involved a 20 minute phone interview with last year's winner of the category. And now I am pleased to say I have been listed in the 2016 top 3 Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year for the North coast region which now involves a gala dinner and suit and tie theme In August. Coming to a close I would like to thank Cindy Reader from Beerwah high School for originally giving me this opportunity to apply for this wonderful Traineeship, Aboriginal employment strategies and last but not least my Manager Samantha Wittmer and the staff from ANZ Bank Beerwah. And on closing the biggest lesson learnt is to believe in yourself and work hard and you can achieve anything which you set your mind to do.

Monday Night Netball Update – Beerwah Champions.

Our senior team had an amazing win on last Monday night at the prestigious Sunshine Coast Schools Netball Competition, winning the Grand Final against Kawana State High School, winning by 3 goals.

The girls stayed ahead of the competition for the entire game, fending off the Kawana squad with a bare minimum of seven players. Cool heads and a supportive team framework ensured that Beerwah made very few errors and kept the pressure on for the entire game. Well done, Senior Girls.

Run The Corridors

THE HISTORY:

Beerwah State High School's Run the Corridors was introduced to the school in 1992 when the school first opened. It was based on the movie "Chariots of Fire" which depicted a running race around the corridors of a famous University in England called Cambridge. Students would line the course and cheer on the competitors as they raced to the finish line. The course is 415 metres long, and the length of time between the start and the finish of the chimes is about 43 seconds, although this varies slightly according to the state of winding and atmospheric conditions. The aim is for the students to complete the course within the time it takes for the college clock to chime the hour of twelve. Only 3 students in the century long history have completed the course before the clock has stopped chiming.

Mr Darren Wallwork, a teacher at Beerwah, came up with idea to run a similar race for senior boys and girls. It was run over 501 metres and students lined the course. There were only 116 students enrolled in the first year and the event was a great success. Since then it has grown and grown and in 2000 Mr Brian Wilkinson, Head of Department HPE, expanded the idea to include Junior Boys and Girls. This year the event has grown to include an under 13 event. One students from each house is selected to represent their house.

The timing of our race involves ringing a bell every five seconds so students near the start / finish line could hear how the students were going, resulting in a great atmosphere at the finish line.

Traditionally the Run the Corridors was held at the start of the Athletics season to herald the start of Beerwah's excellent results in the Central Zone Athletics. In 2016 Beerwah SHS are going try and regain what is rightfully ours the coveted 'District Athletics' trophy.

We are continuing with our new course and an opportunity for the house with the most spirit to win 20 Athletic Carnival points. Whilst also acknowledging our history and tradition with athletic pursuits.

Let's hope this tradition stays as it has a special place in Beerwah State High's Sporting History.

Relay For life

What a great achievement for Beerwah State High Schools Taylah Morgan, who participated in the Relay For Life. This was 18 hours walking laps of the of Kawana Waters State College oval, with each person walking for two to three hours. Taylah and her Team managed to raise more than $6000!!!

This event means a lot to Taylah as she was diagnosed with cancer when she was just two years old. Thankfully Taylah recovered and is now living a very happy and healthy life.

What a fantastic effort. Please click on the link below to read more about Taylah's fantastic achievement.

Chess the sport of the brain

The clever sport

A number of students in the Education Services have been really improving their chess skills with the guidance of relief teacher, Mrs Wendy Coghill. Mrs Coghill has been teaching and playing chess on the Sunshine Coast for more than 20 years. She also loves playing sport and keeping fit and healthy. Her favourite sports are surf lifesaving, indoor rowing and paddling dragon boats and stand up paddle boards.

The biggest chess improvers in 2016 are Josh, Riley, Bayley, Declan and Cody.

Junior school chess championships will be held in Term 4. Cody was the champion in 2015.

News from the Resource Centre

Queensland Week is the annual celebration of the state's culture, heritage, people and industry. This year Queensland Week was held between the 4th and 12th of June. At Beerwah state high school we celebrated by "Painting the Town Maroon (Queensland's State Colour)". Of course this is figuratively. We celebrated by hanging flags, finding resources relating to Queensland – whether it is written by a Queenslander, based around Queensland or general information about the state.

The students and staff had the opportunity to have their photo taken whilst "Painting the Town Maroon" (See pictures) and have had quite a bit of enjoyment dressing up in the Queensland Week Attire.

The Write A Book In A Day project is happening at Beerwah SHS on Tuesday 19th July. A large number of students in years 7 to 9 have registered their interest but we are only entering one team at this stage. The prospective participants are asked to write a short submission explaining why they should be included in the team by Friday 24th June. The successful applicants also need to be available to work on the project for the full 12 hours (or as close as possible) as the book has to be completed in 1 day. The date coincides with Parent Teacher interviews which we hope is a good thing as students could stay after school and be collected later after the interviews. If you wish to donate to Kids Cancer fund and support our students in this project please click on the link below.

Write a Book in a Day runs until August 31.

Readers Cup

Tuesday 14th June our team of Ashley McIntyre, Natalie Ross, Amelia Robinson and Kloe Shaw represented the school at the Regional Competition held at Immanuel Lutheran College. In the lead up to the competition they read 6 books including the picture book Home and Away by John Marsden, Akarnae by Lynette Noni, The Peony Lantern by Frances Watts, Crossing by Catherine Norton, Trash by Andy Mulligan and Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. I hope they had fun and enjoyed themselves as well as improving their reading and memory skills. They did a wonderful job on the night and are to be commended for their efforts.

The big thank you

Happy Reading

Voices on the Coast

Mrs Bateman, Ms Hansen and Mrs Read took 30 students from the Year 7, 8 & 9 Pinnacle classes and some extra interested students to the Sunshine Coast University for a day on Monday 6th June to Voices on the Coast – A youth literature festival hosted jointly by Immanuel Lutheran College and the University. As per the article below the day was a great success.

Voices on the Coast – Year & excursion

Some of you may be surprised but Voices on the Coast was not about singing or music, so I will just set the record straight. It is about books, English, or literature if you like. An amazing experience that shows how an author uses their voice to create an image, communicate and express themselves much like a singer or artist.

My experience of Voices on the Coast was a great one but we are not just talking about my experience, I am reflecting on the whole experience. Before we arrived we were able to choose which author's talks and workshop's we wanted to attend – which was fantastic. The hardest part of the day, aside from paying $7.50 for a smoothie, was to choose which exciting workshops we wanted to do.

When I first heard about 'Voices' we were told that we would see some authors and get to talk and listen to them but what I didn't expect, was to be blown away by what they had to say. One of the things on our map said bring a "sense of adventure". Throughout the day I realised why a sense of adventure was needed. For example, author Lynette Noni gave an mesmerising talk and insight into her first book "Akarnae" – about a girl who goes to boarding school and walks through a door into a different world. I was truly amazed at how her words and analogies of different fantasy stories really captured our imaginations and made me feel as if I was, myself, was in another world.

In another breathtaking session we had the opportunity to listen to Brian Falkner's "Life of Brian". He is the author of bestselling books Brainjack and The Tomorrow Code. He gave us an interesting talk about his life and how this helped him view things and ask the question "What if?" Like, "What if the person next to you blew up?" He then went on to show how this idea could be developed into a storyline.

It wasn't just talks though, we did some fun and interactive hands on stuff with quizzes, competitions, story starts and creating raps and poetry. Although I know it's about good sportsmanship and all that – Beerwah came out on top for the rap competition so I have to say Beerwah Rocks!

Overall it was an inspiring, creative and spectacular day!

Thank you to all the wonderful authors, teachers, organisers and University staff for making a day like this happen.

Study Skills Handbook

STUDY SKILLS HANDBOOK NEWSLETTER ITEM FOR JUNE

PROOFING YOUR ASSESSMENTS

1st Proof:

It's a good idea to relocate from your work space for this. For example, take your assignment to a park or another room - somewhere you will sit with new focus for a set time. Go to this place with the sole purpose to proof. Ensure you take the criteria, what the question is asking with you. Your first proof needs to take into account the following factors.

• WORD COUNT: Is the word count of your assessment within the specified limit? If it is not, note how many words need to be cut.
• SPELLING / GRAMMAR: Spelling and grammar need to be correct. If you are using a
• computer, spell check will help - but don't rely on it. For example, you might have typed 'from'
• when you meant 'form'. The spell check won't pick that up.
• SOURCES: Are all sources listed for visuals, examples and quotes?
• CRITERIA / QUESTION ANSWERED? Check the criteria and tick where you have addressed the criteria. You will then ensure your assignment answers everything asked.
• REPETITION: It's easy to repeat points, double check you haven't done this.
• USEFUL INFORMATION: It's not uncommon to write unnecessary information. Do you have points that don't really answer the question? Have you written clearly? Is there any information you could leave out? Is there any information that you realise needs to be added?
• REINFORCE: This is where you need to finalise which words you will bold, highlight, underline etc. so your assignment clearly identifies the main points. Bolding can let the teacher see clearly that you have covered all the parts of the question, that there is a sequence of ideas and you have organised the information well.
• FIX: Make sure that when you are back at your desk you fix all of the errors you have found.

2nd Proof:

The next day repeat the above steps, but this time - READ YOUR ASSIGNMENT OUT LOUD! If you didn't print your assignment to proof the first time, now could be the time. Reading and hearing the words spoken in different mediums can sometimes give a new perspective to your writing. Note down any changes you need to make, and make them.

3rd Proof:

It's always a good idea to ask someone to proof your assignment after you have proofed it first. It is common for the writer not to pick up typos or silly mistakes because he/she knows what they meant and sees the words they intended to write, and not the errors. So recruit a proof reader (parent, relatives, older sibling or friend etc.).

News from the Maths Department

Pa On Tuesday June 7 three of our extension maths students travelled with Mr Schneider to Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane for the inaugural 'Maths like a Mathematician' workshop. The students, Adam Voigt, Breanna Griffiths and Veda Pflasterer participated in a series of problem solving activities with some of the Universities Phd students and other schools from south east Queensland. All students enjoyed doing maths in an enjoyable yet challenging way.

Dance News

Both Junior and Senior Dance Company have been working tirelessly in rehearsals to prepare for the Brisbane Dance Eisteddfod. This competition was a huge event with schools travelling from all over south-east Queensland to be involved.

After a very early morning wake-up call, the students were eager to show off their skills on Friday the 20th of May in 5 different sections (contemporary, lyrical, musical theatre, hip-hop and jazz). These students were very successful, being awarded a place in 4 of these sections with 20 or more schools in each.

On Thursday the 26th of May the Junior Dance Company travelled to the eisteddfod to compete in 2 sections – contemporary and jazz. The students really shone both on and off the stage in their teamwork, dedication and professionalism. Although the students did not place in either of these sections, they were scored very impressively. These students have grown immensely since the start of the year, in both technique and performance.

It was lovely to see both company's supporting each other on their days. All students involved represented the school excellently and we are excited to see them experience the Gold Coast Eisteddfod in August.

Art News

Over the last five weeks, Year 8 students have been exploring many different elements of Visual Art, including drawing, painting, and sculpting with clay. Students designed their own personal crests, including symbols and images that they believed represented them.

From these crests, students were able to transfer that design onto clay and then onto clay pinch pots. These pots were fired in the kiln and the students glazed them with a colour of their choice.

The pots all look amazing, and the students put in a fantastic effort creating and designing their own personal crests.

All throughout their art lessons, the students have worked hard to learn all they can about being an artist, and have succeeded in creating their own beautiful artworks to keep and last for many years to come.

Caboolture Court House Visit For JCS.

The Junior Computing Studies class have been using Adobe Illustrator to create a number of publicity and business documents in a legal context. This unit also included a trip to the Caboolture Court House to get a first-hand view of the law in progress.

We all managed to get through the metal detectors without any hiccups and were entertained by the Police Prosecutor who put Chris Pendelbury in the witness box and Charlie Walsh in the Magistrate's seat to determine whether Little Red Riding Hood was guilty of break and enter and wilful damage.

After discussing some of our laws in class and talking with Office Lowndes who visited with us about online crimes, it was very informative for the students to see how consequences are applied when the law has been broken.
