Over the past two weeks we’ve seen our Year 12 VCE students take on their final
exams, and feedback from the students has been largely positive. We’ve also seen our
Year 12 VCAL students complete their final assessments and celebrate their final day
of school last week. Students in Years 9 to 11 will commence their examination period
next week, and we wish them all the best. These important exams have two purposes – to
allow our students the opportunity to demonstrate the learning they have undertaken over the
year, and to build their study and revision skills in preparation for their senior years and
beyond.
BA@Maffra
This week we met with Federation University Senior Lecturer Dr. Tim Harrison, and are
pleased to announce we have formalised our partnership with Federation University to offer a
first year program for the Bachelor of Arts degree. The program will have a dedicated space at
the front of the school, largely separate from our normal Year 7 to 12 operations. We’re
excited about the opportunity this will create for some of our Year 12 school leavers who are
interested in university study, but may lack the confidence or supports to make the move away
from the area. The program will be delivered and managed by Federation University lecturers,
and students will receive 3 hours of study support per week. We also see this as great way to
serve our local community through creating opportunity for learning and further education. If
you are interested in learning more about this program, please contact our MIPs Coordinator
Leanne Healey at the school. To launch the program we are holding two information sessions
on Wednesday 25th November in the library at 2pm and 7pm at the school.
Progress Reports
The second round of progress reports have just been completed and provided to students to
take home. This new reporting process, which commenced mid-year, aims to provide both
students and their parents with a picture of the extent to which the student is displaying
positive behaviours conducive to learning. We welcome any feedback on this reporting
process, and I encourage parents to make an appointment to speak to their child’s teacher
and/or Year Level Coordinator if there are any concerns.
Looking ahead
Next week our HPV team head to Maryborough to compete and improve on their impressive
results from last year. We wish Carl Johnson and the team all the best and I look forward to
sharing the results with you next fortnight. As the teaching semester concludes and we look
towards Head Start, teachers will be busy writing reports and it is important students ensure
all of their work is up to date and that tasks have been submitted. Head Start, running for two
weeks from the 30th of November, is a vital part of our curriculum where students will
effectively complete the first two weeks’ learning of the 2016 academic year. It’s an exciting
time for students as they meet their new teachers, and get a snap shot of the learning involved
in their new subjects.

Whole school writing focus update Our vision - To engage students in frequent and varied writing practices that enable them to become deep thinkers and confident, flexible writers.
This term we are continuing to expand the Writing to learn strategies used in our classrooms.
At recent Professional Learning Team (PLT) meetings staff explored how to use Thinker’s keys
and other thinking tools to further encourage our students to reflect on their learning.
What are the Thinker’s keys? The Thinkers Keys are a range of questions/task starters developed by Tony Ryan to engage
and motivate learners in a range of divergent thinking tasks that broaden and deepen their
thinking. They are presented as keys to unlocking the analytical, critical and creative
thinking abilities of learners.
Why encourage creative thinking? 1. Creative thinking can be exciting and enjoyable. Active participation can then create a positive attitude towards the
learning process.
2. The stimulation of creativity in learning heightens the emotional link with that learning. This emotional involvement
boosts the effectiveness of our memory systems.
3. Developing our creative potential strengthens our ability to cope with change. If there is one thing that we can
guarantee into the 21st century, it will be the exponential rate of change. When our thinking is opened and accepting of
new ideas, we become much more capable of adapting to changing circumstances.
Some of the Thinker’s keys we are using to encourage and support thinking ‘outside of
the box’:
The Reverse key- Challenges learners to think of the never, cannot
The What If key - A what if question, come up with solutions
The Disadvantages key - List disadvantages and Improvements
The Combination key - List attributes of both, then combine
The Alphabet key - Come up with something for each letter of the Alphabet
The B A R key - Bigger, Add, Replace acronym. Come up with a solution for each The Variations key - How
many ways can you…
The Picture key - Draw a picture/diagram
The Prediction key - Make a prediction
The Different Use keys- Find 10 different uses for…
The Commonality key - Find common points between…
The Question key - Come up with 5 questions for…
The Brainstorming key - Brainstorm solutions for…
Bastow Institute of Educational Leadership - Leading Literacy Course Update
Congratulations to LaShay Tricker, Nicole Heber and Kiley Cunningham for successfully completing the 2016
Leading Literacy Course. The course ran over the whole year, involved over 80 hours of professional
development, provided opportunities to liaise with other Primary and Secondary schools across Gippsland
and required a final presentation of a literacy initiative implemented at a school level. We would like to
thank LaShay, Nicole and Kiley for their enthusiasm, commitment and continued support to improve writing
at our college. We look forward to the new learning to come.

Science L.E.A.P Excursion to Fed University
On the 11th of November, 40 Year 7 students travelled to Fed Uni to investigate Food, Science and Careers. In the first
session students were Food Technologists and tested the smell, texture, pH and bacterial content of yoghurt. They had to
decide which yoghurt was or wasn’t fit for human consumption. The second session students were Agronomists and tested
the sugar content of different fruits and vegetables. Students were surprised to find out that grapes had the highest sugar
content out of all of the fruits tested. Students also investigated corn that was kept in different conditions and learnt why
frozen corn has less sugar in it than fresh corn. The third session students explored Science as Communicators. They learnt
about how to see through glossy ads which claim they are scientifically tested.
Students were very well behaved and a credit to our school! A big thankyou to Mrs. Lambert, who put in a huge effort to
organise the excursion for us and Tim Wallace, who assisted us on the day.

This term 15 students from Year 9 and 10 attended an Experience the Lab tour of facilities at Monash University and CSIRO
in Melbourne. The program was sponsored by veski and the students were able to see new and exciting technology in exclusive
laboratories including the:
Flexible Electronics lab where scientists are printing solar panels onto all sorts of flexible materials
Instrumentation, Design and Technology Facility where engineers use design packages to plan and make
instrumentation used for research within Monash University
3D printing workshop the home of the 3D printed titanium sternum and rib implant recently used in a world first
surgery
Monash Immersive Visualisation Platform cave2: the next generation hybrid 2D and 3D virtual reality where
scientists can “get inside” 3D images to help solve complex problems.
Four schools attended the tours and students were able to see some amazing new technology. The tour was well received by the students with many loving the cave2. We were able to take a 3D tour of Mars using the
images from the Rover and other NASA images.
Thanks to veski for sponsoring yet another fantastic science event for our students and Helen Watts and Bruce Draper for
attending and supporting our students.

SPORT NEWS Nicole Creaser
DUKE OF ED Nicole Creaser
Boys Hockey
A very inexperienced, but enthusiastic Maffra SC Year 7 boys hockey team headed down to Drouin recently to compete in
the Gippsland round of the schools competition.
They fronted a slightly more experienced Lowanna College, who had reportedly played a game or two against some strong
opposition. The Maffra side showed early skill, defending a number of penalty corners before regaining possession of the ball and
controlling it in the forward line. It wasn’t too long to wait before the boys were able to put the ball in the back of the net.
From this point, the game see-sawed, with Lowanna scoring some skilful goals. With 10 minutes to go, Maffra was up 3-2
but Lowanna were fighting back hard. The boys rallied with some excellent mid-field defence, cutting off passes and
displaying strong tackling technique to hold on to win the Gippsland Region round! Our next stop is the State Finals in
Footscray on the 17th of November.
Our Duke of Ed team re-packed their bags and headed back out into the wilderness to complete the Expeditions
component of their award recently. Unfortunately our hike through the Alpine region had to be cancelled due to a
dangerous weather forecast, but the team showed a positive attitude to prepare for an alternative hike along the Mitchell
River to the Den of Nargun.
Each participant had reflected on our previous hike and made some changes to their equipment, which was evident from
the beginning. Everyone was well prepared, and the pace was significantly quicker as we journeyed between Angusvale and
Billy Goat Bend where we rested for the night.
We finished our hot and sweaty walk at lunch
the following day, stopping to take in the Den
of Nargun, where the students took an
interest in the local history and demonstrated
respect for the significance of this place to the
local Aboriginal population.
The team is now finalising their records so
they can complete their Bronze Award. This is
a significant achievement as it is a six month
commitment to achieve the requirements of
the award.
We have another fundraising BBQ scheduled
for the 22nd of November at Woolworths in
Maffra. Please come along and buy a sausage to
help raise funds for Animal Aid.

CANTEEN ROSTER - TERM
CAN YOU ASSIST IN THE CANTEEN?
Our canteen operates at recess and lunchtime. We offer a healthy selection of food in accordance with the Victorian
Canteen Association. If you can volunteer your time, just one day a month, we would be most grateful. Our canteen cannot
operate efficiently without the assistance of our canteen volunteers.
If you are able to help out please phone the School on 51471790 and ask for Tracey in the Canteen. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you are unable to assist on your rostered day can you please find a replacement or
swap for that day. Alternatively please give Tracey at least a days notice to find a replacement.
The Canteen is open between 8-15am and 9am for lunch orders and student purchases before school.
