Delroy Campus – Year 7 Transition Evening

From the Principal...

We pay our respects to the Wiradjuri people, who are the traditional custodians of the land on which Delroy Campus sits,

and pay respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal people who are part

of our school community.

I would like to begin by congratulating Years

7 and 9 for their behaviour and attitude while

undertaking the Australia wide National

Assessment Program Literacy and numeracy

(NAPLAN) testing in week three.

A big thank you to Mrs Fiona Riley and her

team, for the superb organisation (and then

reorganisation!)

Assessments are an opportunity for students to

demonstrate what they have learned and

provides the school with

important data to inform

teaching and learning

programs. It is important

all students try to do their

very best in all their

exams and assessments.

This term, students will be

completing assessments

and exams for their half yearly reports. It is a

good idea to ensure due dates are written on

the calendar at home so assignments and

projects can be completed on time and

students are well prepared for any tests.

The Athletics carnival was a magnificent

day! Congratulations to all the students who

participated and thank you to Mr Dunlop for

his excellent organisation, Mr May who did an

outstanding job as carnival manager and to all

the staff for their commitment and profession-

alism in ensuring the carnival ran smoothly.

Also, a big thank you to the canteen staff and

the SRC for making sure we were well

nourished on the day - Yum! Student numbers

were well up on previous years, as well as the

number of students qualifying for Western.

What a fantastic effort! Yes, at Delroy,

we can run, jump and throw!

……..Principal report continued Page 2

‘YOU'RE THE VOICE’ conference

What do you want your legacy to be? What opportunities do you

have for student voice at your school? Which issues have the biggest

impact on your education?

These were some of the questions raised at the ‘YOU'RE THE VOICE’

conference attended by student council leaders from Delroy at

Warrambui Retreat, near Canberra. 150 future student leaders from NSW

immersed themselves in a range of workshops run by Year 11 students.

Delroy leaders explored major issues arising for students in education

today. Our leaders reflected on the importance of student voice at Dubbo

College Delroy Campus. We discovered that students can be more

engaged in their learning if they have meaningful conversations, listen to

staff and students and share in school decision-making.

What actually is important to our students at Delroy?

A recent study completed by students around NSW suggested that safety,

supportive environments, having a voice, respect and equality are most

important.

With this knowledge, student council representatives set about identify-

ing important steps forward in

student voice for all at Delroy.

Our goal as student leaders will

be to work at increasing the

profile and importance of student

voice in our school. In order to do

this, the SRC will work to

establish shared decision making

systems and processes with

students, staff and community

members. This will ensure all

students at Delroy have the best

learning experience possible.

2 2 DELROY CAMPUS NEWSLETTER Wednesday 1st June 2016

We are progressing with the improvements to our school. Of particular excitement is the fact the inside student toilets

have been painted and the hand soap dispensers are now installed.

A pertinent reminder:

The new driveway alongside the hall is nearly completed and will provide a much better

access for staff who move in and out of school during the day, such as the cross campus

teachers and also for our regular delivery drivers.

It was disappointing that our school was damaged by fire on Mother’s Day. Thankfully,

the damage was contained to a small area - the eastern doors and wall of the hall, with no

damage to student work or property. This was due to quick action by members of the public

who saw the smoke and called 000 and then the speedy response of our local fire brigade, police

and security services. Our heartfelt thanks go to you all! Fortunately, school was

able to carry on as normal including NAPLAN testing which was moved to a different section of the

school.

Unfortunately, the new College uniform won’t be ready to start until 2018. We expect all students to be in the current uni-

form until then. The uniform shop is getting more stock in. There are plenty of winter track suit jackets for purchase if there

are not enough green polar fleece tops available in the right size. This is still school uniform. Please do not wear coloured

tops. Wearing a uniform demonstrating loyalty to our school and respect. So school uniform on every day. Tights are not

school uniform.

During Weeks 3 to 8 staff will undergo classroom observations to review the learning that is happening in the classrooms,

as part of the Performance and Development Framework (PDF) process.

“The overarching purpose of the performance and development process is to support the ongoing improvement of student

outcomes through continuous development of a skilled, effective and professional teaching workforce” (NSW Department

of Education and Communities 2015, Performance and Development Framework, p.1).

Further, at the Week 4 College Staff meeting, all College staff continued to develop feedback and literacy strategies to

enhance the learning in their Key Learning Areas (KLA). This adds to the work done on effective teams and evidenced

based check-ins to improve accountability and the learning environment.

I have spoken at each assembly about the values we expect to see of students from Delroy.

“Honesty is not encoded in our genes. Respect is not written in our DNA. You won't find perseverance reproducing in our

body like cells. Or loyalty hiding in your bloodstream. It doesn't matter how we begin. In the end, our values define us…”

United Overseas Bank Brand TV Commercial – Our Values Define Us.

Also from 2016 Australian of the year Lieutenant-General David Morrison,

‘the standard you walk past is the standard you accept.’

So I ask everyone who is part of the Delroy community to set high standards and be awesome, so every student at Delroy

can achieve their potential.

Principal report continued from Page 1….

Year excursions have been organised for all

year groups by the Year Advisers who have

put a lot of time and effort into devolving a

fun program to develop social and interper-

sonal skills, leadership and resilience which is

part of the holistic education of every student

that we aim to provide. We expect ALL

students to attend. They are normal school

days in another location. It is time to start a

payment plan. If you are having financial

difficulties please talk to the year DP because

we don’t want anyone to miss out of these

wonderful opportunities.

ENGLISH FACULTY NEWS

The English Faculty have been busy this term delivering a range of exciting and engaging units of work for students across

the year levels. Year 10, having just recovered from their sojourn through the world of POP CULTURE, are now hungrily

devouring a variety of weird and wonderful poems with a focus on appreciation and evaluation. Year 10 will undertake an

assessment task at the end of Week 6 in which they will be asked to utilise their skills through the comparison of two poems

studied in class.

Year 9 are also currently wading through the murky and mysterious waters of poetry having just completed several weeks of

Persuasive Writing and NAPLAN preparation. They too will be completing a poetry appreciation task towards the end of

term.

Year 8 are learning what it takes to create and produce a fantastic film through the study of the wonderful and highly

educational Australian films: ‘The Sapphires’ and ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’.

This term, Year 7 has kicked off with a bang undertaking a new unit of study entitled ‘Accelerated Literacy’. Students are

participating in a range of fun and very engaging ‘literacy-based’ activities which aim to promote deeper connection and un-

derstanding with language forms and features; in particular, spelling, grammar and writing strategies. The unit is scaffolded

so that students work from ‘low’ through to ‘high-order’ literacy skills in order to produce more contemplative and complex

written pieces.

So a very busy Term 2 in English and we look forward to reading all the great work still to come hot off the press!

ABORIGINAL GIRLS CIRCLE

ABORIGINAL GIRLS CIRCLE CAMP

The girls had their first camp on 5th and 6th of May at the Big 4 Caravan Park Dubbo. The workshops and activities on

the first day focused on ‘Communication’ and ‘Community’. The evening was spent with the girls in teams and challeng-

ing each other to see who could catch and eat an Oreo (without using their hands), manage the fastest egg and spoon race,

stack 21 cups the quickest and the all-important Trivia challenge. After much laughter on day 1, day 2 brought about

some serious discussion and decisions on the 2016 project. The girls have decided to focus on Volunteering and

Fundraising to help the local community. They have many ideas and hope to raise much needed funds as the year

progresses.

Some thoughts from the girls about the Girls Circle camp:

“Which activities did you enjoy?”

The challenges and the free time

The balloon popping activity because we had to work as a

team

The activity that involved helping each other out in the

community

Thank you to all the girls who went on the camp – you were an awesome group. Keep on sparkling!

Barbara Kruger

‘We Don’t Need Another Hero’

Year 7 – Year 7 have been busy designing their mythical beast to make out of clay. The

students are almost ready to start the clay building process of their beasts, however

they are to become aware of the clay building skills and techniques prior to

receiving the clay in order to complete their beasts in great detail. They will also be

signing a Clay Contract designed by the class to allow the students to take responsi-

bility for their own actions. The teachers will be giving many demonstrations with

the students recording the steps and processes in their Visual Art Diary so to refer to

these notes when building themselves. Stay tuned for the next newsletter where

there will be plenty of pictures of the students constructing their beasts

Year 8 –

Year 8 are looking closely at Pop Art and artists involved in this art

movement. They are to complete a pop art inspired artwork as their

practical assessment. Some are using Photoshop as a means for their art

making, however, each student must complete a painting as well. This

can be done of someone famous, of food, popular household items; some

are even doing sculpture.

Examples of mythical beast

designs (not student examples)

above: some Mythical Beast designs from

Year 7 students


The students have also begun their theory assessment where they are required to research a Pop Art artist

and look at them closely regarding the Conceptual Framework. This will be completed and presented in

an artistic,

creative

way.

The photography students have been busy looking closely at

Appropriation and how artists have embraced appropriation through

different forms. The students have already appropriated everyday objects such as toothpicks, a compass, plastic lids and

pencil shavings. The students have also attempted their own appropriation of Barbara Kruger and her artist practice. From

here, students have begun working on their practical assessment where they are to produce a portfolio of 6 photographs

which are a form of appropriation. Many students are working hard on Adobe Photoshop to achieve this; however, others

are attempting to incorporate themselves or a friend into a photograph which is a little more difficult and involves a lot

more preparation.

The students have recently begun their theory assessment where they will study and compare the works of Anne Zahalka,

Charles Meere and Max Dupain. The students will present their findings to the class for student and teacher feedback. I

look forward to these presentations.

NSW School Vaccination Program – Year 7 Free vaccinations for HPV, Diphtheria- Tetanus – Pertussis and Chicken Pox have been made

available by the NSW Health Department for many years.

In 2016, Delroy Campus is committed to raising the profile of this program with our Year 7 students.

To this end, every student who returned their consent form to participate in the vaccination program

received a ticket in a special prize draw.

After the first set of vaccinations students received a second ticket and were treated to a free sausage

sizzle lunch. The winner of a $50.00 voucher to the Uniform Shop was William Heycox while

second prize, a $10.00 Canteen Voucher went to Shyneaka Clarke.

Subsequently after each vaccination (Terms 2 and 3) students will receive additional tickets

in a special prize draw. Mr Brendan Riley, owner of “Custom Computer Creations” has

donated a 7” Tablet as a prize for the lucky student whose name will be drawn after the third

and final vaccinations are held.

I ask Parents/Carers to encourage their student/s to participate fully in the program as not only are we promoting good

health, but they may also be the lucky winner of this wonderful prize and we thank Brendan for his generosity.

Rural & Regional FAQs

School Student Transport Scheme

For Schools and TAFEs - May 2016

An updated online form to apply for free travel between home and school will be available for students attending schools

in rural and regional NSW from 12 May 2016.

The form can be used by parents, guardians and students applying for free school student travel under the School Student

Transport Scheme (SSTS) and provides a single application process for School Opal cards and free school travel across

NSW.

Forms are completed by parents or guardians. Students 16 years of age and over must complete and sign the application

form themselves.

With 2016 rural and regional travel entitlements already issued for the year, most parents, guardians and students won’t

need to re-apply and should continue to use their current travel entitlement. A new application will only be required if

students change their school, campus, home address or name.

Bus operators will make their own arrangements with students as to whether a pass is required for travel to and from school.

Students who need to travel inside the Opal network will also be required to carry a School Opal card.

For more information go to www.transportnsw.info/school-students OR CALL 131500

Flame Tests in Science Year 9 Science students have been learning about atoms and the tiny sub-atomic particles inside them. They have been

using Flame Tests to show how electrons can be made to “jump” into different energy levels, which causes them to make

different colours of light. Since different elements (strontium, sodium, calcium, etc.) have different atomic structures, their

electrons will “jump” differently and have their own light signature. These sorts of investigations are important in Science

because they help us understand more about the relatively invisible parts of our universe.

Dorper excursion Last Thursday keen Agriculture students from Years 7 to 9 travelled up to Moree to take part in a two day training course.

The course was run at the Amarula Dorper stud by Lorrai and Justin Kirkby, both of whom are qualified assessors and

judges. The students learnt a lot over the two days ranging from: how to correctly assess the quality of a Dorper sheep right

through to making their own halters. Mr Piper was blown away when the students spontaneously started to quiz each other,

about what they had learnt, on the bus on the way home. Mr Piper would like to congratulate all the students on their

excellent behaviour and also thank Miss Griffiths and Mr Kelly for their assistance on the trip.


Sport News…... Country Cup

On Wednesday 18/5/16 Delroy Campus took part in the Annual Country Cup in u/13 and u/15. Tim Boney (Year 10) also

played for the open Dubbo College team.

The Under 15 team under the coaching of Mr Wade had a great day with many of the boys having not played competition

Rugby League before. Unfortunately, in their first two games the team lost by a converted try. In the last game against

James Sheahan Catholic School Orange, the side played its best game leading for all but the last five seconds. Best of the

team were Randall Dowling, Paul Eastwood and a rampaging Ian Gordon.

The Under 13 team under the coaching of Mr Long had a hugely successful day winning two games and losing two games.

The side defeated South Campus and St Johns B. They lost 10-8 to Red Bend Catholic College and 16-8 to James Sheahan

Catholic School Orange 16-8. Best players for the team on the day were Jack McDougall, Bayden Powell, Kenneth Jackson

and Jarmaine Elmes.

Well done to all the boys from both teams on their efforts on the day.

College cross country championships will be held on 7th June at the Dubbo racecourse

starting at 11.30am. Age groups will be 12-18 for males and females. If students come 1st,
