From the Principal’s Desk

The internet has made the world a much smaller place. At the click of a button and a ‘Google’ search students are connected to an information feed like no other generation has ever experienced. But are they ‘global citizens’? ‘Internationalism’ is a word we will become familiar with over the next decade as educators explore the Australian Curriculum to provide further opportunities to learn about other cultures, languages and experiences from around the world. Kadina Memorial School is considered a predominantly mono-culture community, meaning the majority of our school population is Anglo Saxon and speak only one language at home, English. So how do we prepare students to think on a global scale with an understanding their actions have the potential to impact on others around the world, whether it be through business and enterprise or empathy for others in third world countries? Farmers often possess a ‘global’ outlook, analysing daily grain markets, harvest yields around the world, international politics and climate. Tourism and charity work also have a big focus on internationalism. Over the past fortnight Kadina Memorial School families hosted 10 Japanese students. It was a busy two weeks at school and at home, as students and parents negotiated language barriers and the additional

challenge of having a young stranger in a busy family home. Families went ‘above and beyond’ expectations offering students an experience of a lifetime. There were trips to the beach with photos taken of clear blue skies, a bonfire at the Harris farm, a seat at Adelaide Oval’s AFL ‘Showdown’, a weekend in the Flinders Ranges, and experiencing Australian ‘family life’ in general. I thank Kadina Memorial School buddies Brodie Webb, Zali Slattery, Graice Della Torre, Caitlyn Ingham, Vivienne Metcalf, Darcy Kneebone, Lachlan Napier, Natalie Harris, Joshua Venning and Joseph Northcott for their leadership and care throughout the two weeks. While students were farewelled on Tuesday I am sure friendships will remain due to those few ‘clicks’ of a button, with even ‘talk’ of a visit to Japan. This newsletter edition features articles of how students and staff are incorporating ‘internationalism’ into the curriculum. Sixteen senior students are taking their global education beyond Australian borders with World Challenge later this year. By understanding the world around us we can make a positive difference to the world.

Lead Teacher National Certification Congratulations to Performing Arts teacher Mrs Jo Hurrell who has achieved Lead Teacher National Certification. The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership Lead Teacher certification formally recognises exemplary teachers, their contribution to quality teaching and leadership. It is a comprehensive process requiring evidence of teaching practices (including teaching observations), interviews, self-reflection, and cross-referencing with several referees. Mrs Hurrell is a mentor to early career Arts teachers, Arts Coordinator and Instrumental teachers, a facilitator of the Music Network Learning Group supporting arts in the NY Partnership, as well as four years as Kadina Memorial’s R-12 Arts Coordinator.

Above, Mrs Hurrell with members of the Year 5/6 Choir.

Keeping family records up to date Have you moved house, have a new phone number or email address? If so it’s important to inform the school of your new personal details to maintain accurate family records. We need to be able to contact you quickly if your child becomes unwell at school or we need to send you school information. Communication is a lot easier when we have the right details. Thank you for your help by emailing any changes to: dl.0778.frontoffice@schools.sa.edu.au

Volunteer Induction A Volunteer Induction session will be held next Wednesday 23 August, 9am. To register please call the Front Office on 8821 0100. This training is a requirement for volunteering, for example, regular classroom

support, camps and excursions. It is an informal session where many aspects of the school are explained.

Evacuation Drill Each term the school practises an evacuation or an invacuation. These drills are critically important to the School’s Work, Health and Safety procedures in an imminent emergency. Last Wednesday a continuous long sounding siren signaled to all students and staff to assemble on the oval. The drill is reviewed and fine-tuned every time to ensure maximum student safety in the event of a real emergency. Year 9 students were leading their goats on the oval at the time of the drill, so their four-legged friends also lined up!

Sub School News Early Years Narungga Language Program

Nha, marni Nharangga warra.

There’s a high probability students at Kadina Memorial School can read and interpret the above sentence ‘Hello, welcome to Narungga language’ thanks to an Early Years (EY) language recovery program, reawakening the region’s indigenous dialect.

The program is taught by EY teacher Mrs Dianne Chamberlain, who also mentored Year 11 student Pearson Turner during class.

Both Mrs Chamberlain and Pearson gained a greater Narungga vocabulary when they attended a ‘Narungga Language Training – Beginner and Refresher Course’ last year.

The intensive language course sparked an ambition for Pearson, with a desire to share his new-found knowledge with younger peers.

Kadina Memorial School Principal Mrs Debbie Terrett says Pearson’s classroom presence was an innovative way to combine a student’s passion in learning, provide genuine authenticity to the program and also introduce an older student role model to the younger cohort.

‘Pearson is one of few senior school students who attended the course and decided he wanted to take it further,’ she says.

‘He has been reading Narungga stories, discussing various words, meanings and pronunciations providing a rich learning experience for all involved.’

The Narungga Language Program provides students with an opportunity to broaden their linguistics, appreciation, knowledge and respect for the local indigenous dialect.

Ngayi yunggu – thank you.

Pearson reads to students in 1.2EL.

Year 3-6 Japanese Lesson Last Tuesday Kadina Memorial School welcomed 10 Japanese high school students and their teacher from Meiji Nakano Hachioji High School near Tokyo. Our Japanese visitors were here experiencing our Australian country, school and family life. This was an amazing opportunity to learn from and share cultures whilst building international friendships. Over the past two weeks our visitors have been participating in an immersion program designed to help them with their confidence in English speaking and interacted with some of our R-6 classes. Activities included making Cornish pasties and boomerangs, learning about indigenous culture and art, making Origami with primary students, as well as attending various sight- seeing excursions! This is a timely reminder that learning a language is a wonderful opportunity for students to broaden their view of the world, and the many communities living here. It means understanding and learning to speak, read, write, listen and think in another way, and to explore and appreciate the wealth of knowledge that is part of each language and its culture. Year 3 to 6 students, who learn Japanese for one lesson each week, enjoyed the opportunity to practise their greetings with our visitors, “Ohayo” (good morning) or “Konnichiwa” (good afternoon).

Middle School: Canadian teacher exchange The beauty of traveling is that it opens up your world view and changes your perspective. With the world now being so interconnected, being a part of a global community is an important component in every person’s life. Moving to Australia has opened my eyes to new ways of doing things, both in the realm of education and in my personal life.

Whether it’s through traveling, internet, television, social media or a plethora of different platforms, we are exposed and connected to people from all around the world every day. The exchange programs deliver a connection of an to in-depth level for both the teacher participating and their students.

I think the greatest part of this exchange has simply been being exposed to how people on the other side of the world live their lives and being able to give the staff and students a glance into how Canadians live ours. I have learned so many new phrases such as “far out” and “whinging” and the kids have learned the words I say automatically, especially when teaching phys ed and getting the kids to collect “pylons” (cones) and “pinnies” (bibs).

It has been great to see the more relaxed and chilled out atmosphere Australia has to offer and all the benefits of teaching in Australian schools, such as lesson preparation time and long service leave. Not to mention the lack of

-30C weather has been a pleasant change!

One of the most rewarding times was seeing my students receive hand written letters from their Pen Pals in Canada. They were very amused at the questions, such as “do you have a pet kangaroo?” – which showed how much these students had to learn about each others’ culture. Of course, there are faster ways to interact nowadays than letters so students have been connected on social media and they get a day-to-day look at what life is like for a student in Canada.

One of the best reactions I get from students is when they tell me they want to travel to Canada one day. I am glad I am able to expose them to other cultures and the possibility travel holds. And you better believe when I get back I will be telling all my colleagues and friends to travel to wonderful Australia. Miss Stacey Miko

Greetings from Canada! The usual July we experience is cold, wet and sometimes miserable. Right now, we’re in New York City and in the middle of a heatwave! It’s no Australian heatwave, but the temperatures have been in the low 30’s and it’s hot! The weather was one of the hardest things we found to adjust to. We arrived in Edmonton at Christmas time last year. If you can think back to your Christmas Day, you’d remember it was super hot and in some places 43 degrees! Our Christmas Day was cold, snowy and a chilly minus 23 degrees! That’s a 70-degree difference - crazy! We’ve been so fortunate to be four hours away from the Rocky Mountains. We snowboarded in the winter and have now hiked some of the same trails in the summer. One of our best experiences so far though, was being in Edmonton during the Hockey Playoffs! Our team the Edmonton Oilers made the playoffs for the first time in 11 years and the city went mad with excitement. School life in Canada has given us both positive experiences. At St. Theresa’s Middle School, Mr. Keane has enjoyed teaching Sport For Life, a subject where he’s tried out things like scuba diving, ice speed-skating and hot yoga. Miss Koster has worked in a school as an SSO and helped a Grade 3 student who was blind. She loved every day working with him. After our summer break finishes at the end of August, we only have 16-weeks left of school! 2017 is flying along, but we’ve got so many more experiences and adventures to jam in before we come home!

Miss Katie Koster and Mr Patrick Keane

Kadina students celebrated Canada Day in July last term.

Unit News This term our integrated theme is ‘The 5 Senses’. Each class has been doing some fabulous activities about their eyes, giving the students a greater understanding of how they work. The Junior class made binoculars out of cardboard rolls, decorated foam balls to replicate our eyes showing the pupil, iris and sclera, as well as icing biscuits using different colours to make them look like eyes. They tasted yummy too! The students also had fun with sensory activities such as ‘eye spy’ bottles which are bottles filled with rice and a number of items hidden inside for the students to find. Labels are attached as to what needs to be found. The Senior class discussed the importance of having our sight, what we are able to use it for and experiencing not being able to use their sight. Students were blindfolded and directed to find a cup on the grass as well as pinning the eye patch onto the pirate. They also experienced optical illusions, created their own illusions and looked at ‘Magic Eye’ books. Other activities included painting simple pictures and then repeating the picture blindfolded, and creating rainbow window displays using cellophane. Sandy Mumford Unit Coordinator

Senior School: World Challenge The world is in good hands if our World Challenge students are anything to go by.

Late next term 16 Kadina Memorial Year 10 and Year 11 students will travel to Laos and Cambodia for a three-week World Challenge expedition.

For many it will be their first time overseas and in particular a third world country.

Together they’ve fundraised $2,000 towards a community project they’ll be working on during their stay. Raffles, sausage sizzles, quiz nights and food stalls are just a few of the fundraising events held this year to meet their target.

In addition, some students have been individually fundraising to help pay their way and we thank those in the community who have supported them.

The word ‘challenge’ is true in every sense as it’s not only the change in environment, climate, living conditions, language barriers and food they need to deal with during the expedition.

They will be making key decisions in the planning and running of the event, right down to meal plans, budgets and learning to work as a team under challenging conditions.

In the lead-up to the journey the group will be involved in a training weekend to help prepare for the trek component, expectations and project work.

The final part of the three-week challenge will be a period of well-earned rest and relaxation.

The Challenge for many is daunting as no-one knows what to expect. The aim is to provide students an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and resilience, with students gaining a greater appreciation and perspective of issues around the world.

Teachers Miss Danielle Hicks and Mr Glen Williams will accompany the students during the World Challenge.

So if you see a group of students with the World Challenge logo manning a sausage sizzle or food stall during your travels to the local shop you can be assured your donation is going to a very good cause in a third world country. Thank you for your support.

Yorketown Area School Flo Student Visit On Tuesday 1 August eight FLO students and two staff from Yorketown Area School visited our Flex Centre. The visit was to see how our FLO Programs and Flex Centre work at Kadina Memorial School, and to promote positive social interaction between both groups of students. The visitors were taken on a tour of the school, then participated in a game of ‘Getting To Know You Bingo’. They split into smaller groups to play Mini Golf, UNO and Chess. Some students participated in an art activity involving ‘m & m’s’, after which we all shared a barbecue lunch cooked by Bruce Woodcock. It was a really positive experience for all students and staff members from both schools. It was great to see so much positive interaction happening and hearing so much laughter. It was amazing to observe how quickly both groups felt at ease with each other. It cannot be emphasised enough the importance of providing opportunities for students to develop their social skills and relate to others outside of their own social networks. I believe some good friendships were made. We will definitely be looking at another combined activities day later on in the year. A big thanks to Mrs Jacq Barry for initiating and organising the visit, Bruce for cooking the barbecue, and to all other staff who helped make this such an enjoyable experience. Dave Love Alternative Learning Coordinator

Water Fountains have arrived! In term 1 Miley Bussenschutt, a year 3 student on the Junior KMSC, brought us a photo of a Bottle Filling Station and Drinking Fountain. The Junior KMSC thought it was a really good idea and a good way to spend the fundraising money collected from Casual Days since the amalgamation. So they decided to ask Middle School and Senior School KMSC to see if they would approve the purchase. Both groups agreed it was a good way to give something back to the students in the school. Mrs Ritter contacted a company and a purchase of three fountains was made. Mrs Saunders organised for the installation and as of the beginning of term 3 they were up and running. Since the beginning of term the Junior school fountain has filled 921 bottles, the Middle School 377 bottles and the Senior fountain 537 bottles. Students are really enjoying the cool filtered refrigerated water. Thanks to Miley for bringing the idea to our attention. Georgia McKay Publicity Officer, Junior KMSC

Sport Report NYP SAPSASA Basketball Carnival On Friday of week 2 Kadina Memorial School participated in the NYP SAPSASA Basketball carnival, held at the Copper Coast Sport and Leisure Centre. We competed against St Mary Mackillop Primary School, Moonta Area School and Harvest Christian School.

The girls’ team consisted of Olivia Elsworthy, Lucy Johns, Meg Dayman, Kayleigh May, Saraya Mercer, Ella McCauley, Shayla Herbert and Brooke Thomas.

They started the day with a good win against St Mary Mackillop and followed up with another win against Moonta Area School. That meant the final game against Harvest Christian College would determine the winner from the girls group. After a close beginning the girls won 34-14.

The boys’ team consisted of Jack Harris, Jedd Thomson, Will McKay, Josh Webb, Jace Wigzell, Tom Paddick, Ryan Kirley and Griffyn Hansen.

While there was a bit of a wait to play their first game they won comfortably in both games defeating St Mary Mackillop 20-0 and Harvest Christian College 30-10.

Both teams played well and displayed excellent sportsmanship. They will advance to the next round in Jamestown to be held in week 6 this term.

A special thanks to Trent McCauley and Shaun Mercer for coaching the teams on the day and to all the parents who came along and scored and supported the children. Mr Aaron Smith SAPSASA Rep

Good luck to the Boys’ and Girls’ teams who will play in the next round of the SAPSASA Basketball Carnival in week 6.

SAPSASA Girls’ Soccer Carnival On June 4 the Northern Yorke Peninsula girls’ soccer team travelled to West Beach in Adelaide for the SAPSASA Soccer Carnival.

The team consisted of three students from Kadina Memorial, two from Bute Primary, one student from Wallaroo Primary and seven girls who filled in from North Eastern and Adelaide.

We trained once a week on Monday afternoons for several weeks to prepare for the week-long event. Our coach was Mr Allan Derossi from Bute Primary School. The team manager was Mr James Rigby-Meth.

The soccer halves were 20 minutes long.

Our first game was against Barossa Light and we won. We drew with Lower /Mid South East in the second game of the day.

On Tuesday we drew with Southern and won against Mid North.

On Wednesday we played Lower Eyre Peninsula / Whyalla achieving another win. However a competitive contest against Southern Valley resulted in a loss.

On Thursday we played Adelaide North East and we lost. The day’s second game saw NYP defeat Pirie. The Pirie team was short a player so they borrowed one of our players.

The final day of competition resulted in draw with Murraylands.

Overall we came fourth with 20 points. We won four games, lost two and had three draws.

We really enjoyed this experience and recommend other students try out and participate next year.

A big thank you to Mr James Rigby-Meth for setting up the tents, organising us and everything else. Thanks to Mr Derossi for coaching all of us and all the parents who took time off to take their children to the games. Alexa Mill and Brooklyn March

Knock Out Netball On Friday 4th August, the 8/9, 10 and Open Girls Knockout Netball teams competed in their round robin competitions in Gawler. The girls fought hard all day, but were up against some tough opposition in Trinity College, Faith Lutheran College, Nuriootpa High School, St Marks College and the Yorke Peninsula Zone team. The 10s and Opens enjoyed the experience of playing on indoor courts at StarPLex, whilst the 8/9s battled the elements outside. Well done to the Year 10 team as they provided the only winning game for the day! Thanks to Miss Kaesler, Miss Combe and Miss Hennell for coaching, and Andrea Manners, Aynara Lawless, and Di Boothey for umpiring. Thanks Miss Caroline Hennell

Knock Out Open Girls Basketball The Open Girls Knock-Out Basketball Team showed great growth in their games at the tournament. They went against some tough competition but showed tenacity in playing hard, even though we did not get the victory on the scoreboard. Great work girls! Miss Stacey Miko

SAPSASA Boys’ Soccer The Northern Yorke Peninsula Boys’ Soccer team participated in the 2017 competition week 9 Term 2. It was a hard fought week. We ranked equally with three other teams with four of the 10 games a draw. The boys forged a strong sense of teamwork and developed many skills throughout the week. Comparing the first game of the competition to the last was a sight to behold. The boys were able to play position and share the ball, being able to produce solid results.

The team for 2017 consisted of many players from around the Northern Yorke Peninsula. Representing Kadina Memorial School were; Brayden Fox, Dion Buzza, Jack Atkinson, Jack Sarson, Jacob Daly, Jared Brooks, Leon Fin, Marshall Cox, Ryan Bull, Zachary Ingham and Keenan Wileman. Majority of the players were in year 7, meaning only a few will follow on to next year. Knowing the skills and ability of upcoming players, Kadina will continue to be strong competitors in SAPSASA. Luke Atkinson

It’s a Knockout – Footballers Stumble in the Penultimate Round The Kadina Memorial School Year 8/9 Knockout Football team has fallen short of a prized Grand Final spot in this year’s competition. With nine changes from the victorious side of Round 1, the boys battled manfully against larger Faith Lutheran School and St Marks College opponents and were in the contest until the final siren each game. The early game started with Kadina taking on Faith in a replay of Round 3 from the last year. An immaculately prepared Pt Wakefield Oval had a slight breeze favouring its northern end, but otherwise conditions were perfect for football. The game began with an early onslaught of forward entries for Faith kicking against the breeze. The desperation of Kye McDonald and Connor Russell on the last line of defence halted many plays and continually forced the ball back out of Kadina’s defensive zone. As the half wore on, Kadina began to press its claims with captain Brock Thomson, Charlie Adams and Alex Elsworthy getting on top in an exciting midfield battle. Goals to Thomson, Ryley Hansen (an Eddie Betts like snap) and a long range bomb from Zac Phillips ensured Kadina held a seven-point half time advantage. The second half saw the intensity lift a notch with neither side able to break the early deadlock. Manic pressure resulted in turnovers to both sides and with nine minutes to play only one point could split the teams. Faith, kicking with the increasing breeze at their back eventually got the better of a tiring Kadina to win by 13 points. Having seen St Marks defeat Faith in game 2, Kadina were buoyed with the slight chance of progressing to the final. Kicking with the aid of the breeze, Kadina began the better of the two sides piling on early pressure. Thomson and Elsworthy were again prominent with the vice-like grips of Brodie Ramsey and Toby Glasson providing focal points in the forward half. As the half wore on, some lapses in concentration saw St Marks kick two late goals to lead five points at the major break. The second half saw much of the same with the ball bouncing backwards and forwards between the fifty metre arcs. Dylan Branford provided great run through the half forward line and Glasson continued to prove a nuisance for the opposition defence. Again, the tiring legs of Kadina and a strengthening wind conspired to be the difference. St Marks kicked away late to eventually win by 19 points. Although the results were unfavourable, the effort and endeavour of all players could not be denied. The team embodied the school values of Opportunity, Respect and Excellence showing that although some personnel were missing from the side they were willing to give one hundred percent for the school. Thanks to student Thomas Depledge and support staff Di Boothey, Bill Saunders and umpire Jakeb Branford for their assistance on the day. Coach, Shane Moss.
