Year 10 News
Welcome to the new year of 2022! The staff of the Year 10 team would like to thank all of the students for their great start to the year. We look forward to having a great year full of positive outcomes for all students!
Team Members
This year the Year 10 team members are: Sheryl Tangi (Team Leader Maths / Science and Numeracy), Jessica Qu (Science, Life Skills and PBS Leader), Angela Thomas (Art and Photography), Mark Heiberg (Maths, Numerack and Humanities) and Angela Bolding (English and Humanities) and Denise Cairnduff (English and Health/ PE).
WORK EXPERIENCE
All Year 10 students will be attending two weeks of work experience Week 2 and Week 3 of Term 2, May 2nd to 13th. The students will be arranging a placement or two during their team-time classes this term. Please contact Sheryl Tangi if you have any issues. We will have limited spaces to place students due to Covid-19. Please also read the Careers Information on Teams from Alan Ferris. One student has already organised his two weeks of Work Experience. If this goes well, he could have an apprenticeship. All students need to create a USI number and complete the General Safe@Work certificate and the certificate of the related industry a.s.a.p.
I AM DEADLY PROGRAM
One of our Year 10 students will be attending the I Am Deadly Program run by Youth Space. It will be out every Thursday for Terms 1 – 3. He will attend a number of excursions to TAFE courses etc. Well Done! We have just received a second application.
CAMP
This year our Year 10 students hopefully be going to Tasmania in the second last week of term three. Information should be out to students after School Council approval towards the end of March.
SWIMMING and ATHLETIC SPORTS
The swimming sports this year are only for students who have signed up to attend the swimming trials on Thursday 17/2. The school athletic sports will take place on Tuesday 1st March and we are hoping for a great turn out of students to the event.
ATTENDANCE
This year we will be trying to increase student attendance rates especially at Year 10. We would really appreciate a phone call to the 24-Hour attendance line if your child is absent from school. This helps our attendance officer track students and improve our % attendance for each student. The attendance line number is 51 323 711
PBS
Students can receive a KPA SMS message to parents from teachers each lesson for positive behaviour. Students are also receiving postcards for displaying consistent behaviours for the four school pillars of Excellence, Relationships, Work Ethic and Engagement. This year we will be rewarding students with great attendance to school and for GPA reports at or above 3.5.
