Good Shepherd is packed with
beautiful surroundings such as
goats, chooks, frogs, tadpoles and
eye opening natural plants and
trees.
Whenever you have time during
or after school look around and be
amazed.
You can also feed the beautiful
goats grass and plants! Their names
are Gruff, Mini Me and Roger.

At Good Shepherd we have four netball teams.
The teams train on Thursday after school until
4:30 and have their games on Saturday.
Year 6’s netball team are called Lions.
Year 5 has two teams, the Panthers and Jag-
uars.
Year 4’s and 3’s are called Cubs.
For all of you who don’t know, a netball game
has 7 players on court at all times, Centre,
Wing Attack, Goal Attack, Goal Shooter, Wing
Defence, Goal Defence and Goal Keeper.
“Netball can be a pretty tough sport” says Eryn
who plays GS (goal shooter) and GA (goal at-
tack). “Because it’s a winter sport and even
when it rains we still need to play. But it’s still
fun!”
Interview with Emily
Emily has been playing netball at Good Shep-
herd for 3 years. Her main positions are WD,
GK and sometimes GD.
Why do you enjoy netball? It’s an activity you
do with all your friends. You get fit and it is
really fun.
What’s your favourite position? “GK, because
you get to run around and go in the goal cir-
cle.”
Why do you play netball? “To keep fit and to
have fun”.

Olivia
What events happened at the Good Shepherd Feast Day?
“The school and I planted native plants. I planted my plant with my
buddy to improve the environment.”
What does the Good Shepherd Feast Day mean to you and why?
“It didn’t mean much to me but I did enjoy the day.”
What did you like the most about the day and why?
“Spending time with my buddy and learning how to plant plants”
Where did you do your activities?
“At the gate entrance.”
Did you enjoy the day and why or why not?
Yes, because I got to hear a different culture singing different songs and
I got to learn different languages.”
What did you need to do to prepared for the day and why?
“I needed to bring a spade for the digging.”
Does it make you appreciate the school more and why or why not?
“Yes because it teaches you about planting and it has days like Friday.”

Aboriginals believed that an an-
cestor spirit came down and made
the rocks, rivers, animals, plants
and all the wonderful people to
live and use the land.
At night time before they eat, the
women cook the meat and every
one performs a dance for the spir-
its.
They tell lots of dream time stories
to the children, it would mostly be
about ‘marrathal warkan’ (in the
Ngiyaampaa tribe) or marrathal
warkan which means long, long
time ago.
Aboriginal Cultures and Native
Plants
On the 16th of May, Good Shep-
herd School in Kelmscott had two
visitors named George and Ailsa
who sang and played the bongo
drum, didgeridoo, guitar and tap-
ping sticks. They also sang a song
called “Wanjoo” which means
welcome.
A student from Good Shepherd
said “I like the way they lived, I
like the taste of some of their
foods. Salt bush, kangaroo and
brake water cod.”

Cancer is a big problem around the
world. There are many people that
can die from cancer but some
types of cancer can be cured.
I have interviewed James William
(alias name) who was only 17
when he got Cancer. Luckily he
had a Cancer that could be cured.
This cancer was called Hodgkin’s
Lymphoma Cancer. He didn’t
know what his chance on living
was and he found it very terrifying
that even the healthiest people can
get cancer.
Joanne is a young mum who was
28 when she got breast cancer. She
had family history, meaning she is
more likely to get cancer. Because
of this she needed to have aggres-
sive treatment, to fight the cancer.
COURAGEOUS CANCER
SURVIVORS!
She needed chemotherapy and lots
of surgery. Jo’s biggest fear was
that she wouldn’t be there for her
children. However she is healthy
today.
With early detection and quick
treatment 80% of certain cancers
have a positive out come. Educa-
tion about cancer means more
lives are saved.
Gabby
Are you looking for a new interest?
Something that’s a little bit differ-
ent than the rest? The sport (or in-
terest) you need is…. HORSE
RIDING!
Horse riding is a great sport for
people of all ages. There is also a
place called RDA, which gives les-
sons to people with disabilities.
There are plenty of things to do
that incorporate the different horse
riding disciplines and it is a fun
and social sport. The most well
known disciplines are:
Show jumping
Dressage
Cross Country
Hunter
Liberty Horsemanship (bareback,
tackless)
Having Horsey Fun
Western (which includes barrel rac-
ing, pole bending, western pleas-
ure, etc.)
Another great thing to do is event-
ing. Eventing is entering a compe-
tition doing one of the above disci-
plines (except liberty horseman-
ship) against people of many ages.
The best place for young people to
go to is pony club. At pony club
there is a rally day every month,
and fun days/mounted games/
shows/camps in between. At the
end of the year there is an awards
ceremony/ fun day.
Horse riding is not just riding
though. There is also theory such
as the parts of the horse, what to
feed a horse, how to groom, how to
tack up and much more.
Some local horse riding stables are:
Willow Creek Riding School
Foxwood Farm Equestrian Centre
Forge Farm
Oakford Equestrian
So have a go! Everybody will love
horse riding!
“Just to sit and feel the warmth
and peace on a horse can be re-
laxing and calming and a feel-
ing of wellbeing.”

The Australian Zoo is located in
the Australian state of Queen-
sland on the Sunshine Coast. The
Australian Zoo was established
under the name of Beerwah Rep-
tile Park by Bob Irwin in 1970.
Steve Irwin made the park a popu-
lar tourist attraction and changed
the name to The Australian Zoo.
Steven Irwin’s famous quote
“From the koalas, to the green sea
turtles, the Australian Zoo rescue.
It is dedicated to rescuing all wild-
life in need. The Australian Zoo
wildlife ensures each animal re-
ceives the best possible care they
can give them.”
On the 22 February 1962 Steve Ir-
win was born on his mother’s
birthday. He moved to Queensland
in 1970 where he attended Lands-
borough State school and Caloun-
dra State High School. The Aus-
tralian Zoo has its promise to keep
Steve Irwin’s dream alive. Irwin
died on September 4th, 2006.

10. Samsung Galaxy S4 – Sam-
sungs second latest phone is one
with a lot to love. Whether it’s a
powerful camera, a brilliant screen,
a long lasting battery or just a fluid
experience.
9. Moto G – Motorola’s back, and
it’s better than ever! It exceeds its
rivals in several key areas, from the
well defined 4.5-inch display to its
1.2GHz quad-core processor and
the early Android 4.4 Kit Kat up-
date.
Disadvantages – A main disadvan-
tage is it’s not so good camera, but
other than that, it’s quite good.
8. HTC One – With a sleek alumin-
ium body, a live home screen that
can stream all your favourite con-
tent, a photo gallery that comes to
life,
Top 10 Tremendous Smart-
phone’s 2014 and dual frontal speakers, HTC One
is ready to reshape your Smartphone
experience.
Disadvantages – HTC One, though
overall a good phone, it still has its
disadvantages. The HTC One.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a re-
movable battery. Another big draw-
back is that it has no memory card
slot.
7. iPhone 5s - The iPhone 5S is one
of the best phones to be launched in
the past year. Slick and fast, the
iPhone 5S has a smart aluminium
frame surrounding an excellent 4-
inch screen. It’s premium and solid,
yet an incredibly light, design. One
of its greatest features is its amazing
Touch ID. Another good thing about
the phone is its great all-round cam-
era. Disadvantages – The phone’s
battery life could have been better
and the 4 inch screen is too small for
some.
Its extra storage cost is also a
great drawback.
6. Sony Xperia Z1 Compact –
It’s built out of Sony’s excellent
smash proof glass front and back
and one-piece aluminium frame
— it mostly feels solid and well
constructed. The Z1 Compact is
entirely waterproof when you en-
sure that its covers are appropri-
ately sealed. In the same way as
the Galaxy S5, the Compact re-
minds you to seal it whenever
you unplug it’s USB charging ca-
ble or remove microSD storage.
Disadvantages – Because of the
sealed water proof cover, the
Compact unfortunately does not
offer a removable battery.
5. Google Nexus 5 – Comparing
it to the previous Nexii, the bat-
tery life has improved, the cam-
era is a little more stable,
Top 10 Tremendous Smart-
phone’s 2014 Continued
and the low cost is still in place.
The phone has also got a high
power CPU, quality screen and a
smooth rubberized outer shell.
Disadvantages - The Nexus 5’s
screen is dimmer than its competi-
tors and it’s camera struggles under
auto settings. Another major disad-
vantage, is that you cannot feed
your Nexus 5 with microSD.
4. LG G2 – It’s got an insanely
good screen, quality camera, really
good audio pumping out from its
speakers and headphone jack…..
the list goes on and on.
Disadvantages – A negative is that
for some getting used to the rear
buttons will be too much of an is-
sue, when you have had years of
side mounted buttons. When trying
to adjust the volume or zoom in cer-
tain apps using the controls will be
awkward for many. Its also got no
memory card slot.
3. Samsung Galaxy S5 - The
Galaxy S5 has a 5.1-inch 1080p
Super AMOLED screen, up 0.1
inches from last year. It uses a
2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon
801 processor and has a 16-
megapixel camera with an all-
new Samsung-made sensor.
Disadvantages - We’re not in
love with the design, the new
heart rate sensor will be a bit
pointless for many and the fin-
gerprint scanner is fiddly.
2. Sony Xperia Z2 – The phone
has a battery that lasts for days,
an extremely good quality cam-
era, a screen that would make
you weep and all encased in a
dustproof and waterproof enclo-
sure you could take anywhere.
Disadvantages - Screen and cam-
era needed a fix as well as adding
in some other features.
Top 10 Tremendous Smart-
phone’s 2014 Continued
1. HTC One - The Snapdragon 801
processor has boosted battery dra-
matically compared to the 600 of
last year, and that means that photos
also process much more quickly as
well - even the front-facing camera
is much better. Gaming, movies,
photography, browsing - all work
really well.
Disadvantages – A big drawback is
that the phone is not water proof.
Another thing is that its only got
2GB of RAM.

A man called Max Dillon was a
very big fan of The Spider-
Man, but on his birthday some-
thing went terribly wrong. It
started with him being electro-
cuted. He became the Lord of
Electricity. He became known
as 'Electro'. He has been given
all the powers of electricity.
Spider-Man would become his
mortal enemy. Electro was cap-
tured and was rescued by a man
called 'Harry Osborne'. Harry
was trying to find a cure to save
his own life, when this test
turned him into the 'Green Gob-
lin'. The Green Goblin and
Electro would become a team
and work together as villains
and go after the Spider-Man.
Electro wants a world of dark-
ness, while The Green Goblin
wants Spider-Man gone forever.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2:
THE RISE OF ELECTRO
So for all you fans who love Spider-
Man, there is a new villain who will
be introduced called 'Rhino'. Does
this mean there will be a Spider-
Man 3?
