Principal’s Report
Welcome
back to all students and staff and I trust that you have all had a very
relaxing break and are ready to engage with the exciting work ahead as Term
2 unfolds.
The wider
school community was saddened by the tragic passing of Alexander (Zander) and
Bridget Jones and our most sincere condolences are extended to their parents
Ian and Sue and to all the staff and students (both current and past) of
Montmorency Secondary College. Zander and Bridget attended Sherbourne Primary
School and a number of our students were associated with them and the Jones family.
As such our community was represented at the funeral service last Wednesday
morning.
Whilst the
events surrounding Zander’s and Bridget’s death are difficult to comprehend
it does bring home the importance of valuing our young people for who they
are and for what they contribute to our lives. In their short lives these two
young people achieved a great deal and I know that everyone that knew them
cannot be anything but proud of them.
In the teaching
profession it is true that we have the opportunity to influence the
development of our young people; after all they spend most of their waking
time at school. It is just as true to say that no day goes by when we do not
learn something from them.
Eltham High
School is a place of learning; we value the pursuit of excellence,
creativity, individuality, social and environmental responsibility, diversity
and integrity. We work together to learn together.
This seems
an opportune time for me to thank all of our young people for what they bring
to the mix and for the way that each day they support my ongoing learning.
Over the
term break I received the following e-mail from one of our Year 8 students; Indigo
McKinnon (Stewart House)
“Dear Mr Sicari,
My Uncle and two of his
friends are undertaking a bike ride to raise money for
multiple sclerosis or MS. They are riding from Falls Creek to Darwin,
4000km. I have a written an article (below) and I am hoping that you will put
it in the next school newsletter. There is also a photo of the riders
attached. There is a link in the article so people can make donations.”
Here is
Indigo’s article:
“Ride for MS:
As you are reading this article
my uncle and two of his friends (one of whom is married to someone with MS)
are riding their bikes towards Darwin. The three are riding from Falls Creek
in Victoria to Darwin in the Northern Territory. They are riding to raise
money for research to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis or MS. The ride is
over 4000km and will take six weeks and the riders would love your support.
MS is a degenerative disease
that affects the central nervous system. It can also affect or delay the
transmission of nerve impulses throughout the brain, spinal cord and optic
nerves. There is no cure for MS and the medication available only helps stop
further degeneration, not improve a current condition. MS Australia relies on
donations to fund research and provide help for patients. To donate to Ride
for MS please visit http://www.everydayhero.com.au/malcolm_mckinnon/donations/1
Donations can be made in any amount and every dollar will help. Please
help the riders to reach their goal of $7500.”
I wish to
congratulate Indigo on her initiative and in living the school value of
social responsibility. I invite you all to support these riders’ efforts and
I wish Indigo’s uncle and his friends the very best for the trip.
The prospective
Year 7 Students and Parents Open Day and Information Sessions will take place
on Thursday, 18 April. Student led School Tours will take place at 9:15 and
11:15 am. Information sessions will take place in the Performance Centre at
10:00 am and 5:00 pm and will include the Principal’s address. Information
packages will be distributed on the day. All families will be invited to join
staff and students for refreshments and to peruse the Key Learning Area
displays located in the new building. The structure of this day is somewhat
different to what has occurred in the past so I ask you for your support in
“spreading the word”. If you know of someone who would be interested in
attending our Open Day please pass on this information to them. Information
has also been distributed through primary schools and the local media.
Congratulations to Jamal Fuller (Year 11, Stewart
House) who was invited to participate in the 16th
International Suzuki Music Convention in Matsumoto, Japan from 27-31 March,
2013. Jamal has been studying Suzuki Classical Guitar for a number of years
and along with his teacher and 12 other guitar students from Melbourne, Jamal
embarked on this wonderful adventure. He is one of 4 senior students
demonstrating Suzuki Classical Guitar. Whilst in Japan Jamal
participated in group classes, master classes and Symposia, and performed in
the Melbourne Suzuki Guitar group performance on Saturday, 30 March. There
were 5000 delegates and parents in attendance from around the world.
Although Suzuki Music Method was instigated in Japan, initially
for violin and now including many other instruments, Suzuki Classical Guitar
is not taught there. Thus, this was a wonderful opportunity and honour for
Jamal to represent Australia and showcase his talent alongside his teacher
and fellow students. Well done Jamal!
Congratulations
to the Girls 4 X 50 Freestyle Relay Team for winning Gold at the State
Swimming Finals on Wednesday, 27 March. The team members: India Heys
(Year 12, Stewart House), Shirin Nurmohamed (Year 12, Rutter
House), Maddi O’Toole (Year 12, Rutter House) and Paige
Goodwin (Year 12, Stewart House) were a force not to be reckoned
with. An outstanding outcome and well done to one and all!
Congratulations
to Paige Goodwin (Year 12, Stewart House) on her selection as
the Diamond Valley Leader’s Junior Sports Star. Paige will compete in the 50m
Backstroke at the Australian Open Swimming Championships in Adelaide from 26
April. I wish Paige all the very best with the competition and look forward
to hearing about her achievements.
Congratulations
to Warwick Purchase (Year 9, Stewart House) who has been
selected to play baseball for the Victorian Kangaroo's in South Carolina, USA
from 4 June - 18 June.
This will
be Warwick's 3rd tour with a Kangaroo's team. Previously he was selected to
play in Italy in 2010, and San Francisco in 2011.
Well done
Warwick and good luck representing Victoria overseas.
At the end
of last term Eltham High School was lucky enough to have the only Melbourne
based showing of the new documentary “SWITCH.” This took place in our newly
completed Performance Centre. Many local VCE Environmental Science students
and schools were invited to come and watch the film, which focuses on
sustainable energy solutions in the face of the enhanced greenhouse effect. After
the film we were treated to a Q&A session with the film's director, Harry
Lynch, and Monash Environmental Science lecturer Dr Ailie Gallant. It
was an extremely informative session that helped students explore both our
demand for energy and the difficulty in supplying this solely with the
currently available renewable sources.
I take this
opportunity to congratulate and thank Mrs Katie Reed for her initiative in
the planning and in getting this event to fruition and for providing such a
substantive educational opportunity for our students and other students from
surrounding schools. This was a great event appreciated by all.
 During
March, the Year 11 Biology students conducted a week long ant survey to
assess the health of biodiversity of the school. Why ants? The world has
about 20,000 species of ants of which over 7,000 species occur in Australia.
Ants are present in every ecosystem, therefore are often used as “target
marker species” to act as a guide to the lack or abundance of general
biodiversity. Dr Ken Walker, the Senior
Curator of Entomology and Arachnology at Melbourne Museum, visited the
classrooms to teach our students about various ecological surveying
techniques including direct sampling, pitfall traps and biscuit traps. After
the samples were collected, Dr Walker collated the results and used a state
of the art microscope camera to take high resolution photographs of the fauna
found. These photographs can be found on the following website: http://www.bowerbird.org.au/projects/418/sightings?view=thumbnails&sort=a-z
The
students enjoyed their work with the Melbourne Museum and learnt a great deal
from their research; they are currently arriving at some conclusions about
the health of biodiversity at our school.
A big
thank-you to Dr Ken Walker for his time and expertise and the Year 11 Biology
Teachers, Mr Jon Baly and Miss Michelle Bregar, that provided our students
with this rare opportunity.
The
Australian Education Union (AEU) has been negotiating intensively over the
past two weeks for a new EBA for school staff and negotiations are continuing
this week.
I am happy
to inform you that the AEU has reported that progress has been made in these
negotiations and in light of this the AEU Branch Executive has endorsed the
following recommendation:
That the AEU Branch
Executive determines to continue the suspension of industrial action in the
schools sector while there is continued progress in negotiations.
This suspension applies to all industrial
action, including all bans that are currently in place.
We look forward to a quick closure to this process and I will
continue to keep you informed of progress.

This week
is an important one for the school. On Thursday 18 April we will be opening
up the school to prospective year seven families. We will be holding two
Information sessions on the day, at 10.00am and 5.00pm to introduce visitors
to the school and our enrolment procedures.
We will
also be running tours of the school at 9.15 am and 11.15 am. The tours will
be led by our Senior School Leaders and supported by our Middle School
Leaders, and give families a great opportunity to both see the school in
action and to also talk directly to our senior students about their
experiences as students of Eltham High School.
Parents of
grade six students are required to finalise applications for enrolment for
year seven by May 17, this process is facilitated by the primary schools.
Leading up to that date we will continue to run tours weekly on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Fridays.
I would like to acknowledge our students on their engagement in
these visits. During the tours we visit a range of classes and ask students
to talk to our visitors about their learning. Our students are not only
willing to do this, but also provide a comprehensive overview of their
experiences in class and what they are learning. They are great ambassadors
for the school and we would like to thank them for their contributions to
this important part of the school program.

On the last
Friday of Term 1 all Junior School students attended an assembly which
focussed on the co-curricular opportunities for Junior School students. We
were treated to presentations by a number of students who described
the diverse range of activities in which they participate.
The overwhelming message is that there is something for
everyone. Every student who gets involved in a co-curricular
activity describes it as one of the best things they did at school. The
list below gives an overview of the activities and some information about how
to get involved. The assembly also included an address from Mr Sicari,
who reminded us all that living in a community brings both rights and
responsibilities. This was illustrated with the example of the right to
expect clean and functional facilities, and the responsibility to report
any vandalism students may observe. The assembly concluded with a wonderful
performance by Jaron Natoli, a Year 7 student - thanks
Jaron!

On the
first Friday of the holidays - Good Friday, a team of dedicated collectors
met at 8:30am to begin a morning of tin shaking to raise money for the Royal
Children's Hospital Appeal. Eltham High School has been the base for this
collection, supported and supervised by the Community Volunteer Organisation
- RCH Pied Pipers for more than ten years.
The Pied
Pipers contributed a record total of $277,794.90 to the 2013 Good
Friday Appeal, including the valuable sum of $4,798.40 collected by
the students of Eltham High School. Sincere congratulations to
everyone involved in achieving this wonderful contribution. The Good Friday
Appeal was another record at $16,405,534.65.
The Pied
Pipers have now raised $6,316,917.15 for Victoria’s Royal Children’s
Hospital and are very fortunate to have the support of a wonderful group of
11 schools and colleges who this year collectively had well over 900
volunteer students.
I would
like to thank Mr. Bruce Martyn and Mrs. Kerry Lambert for their support on
the day both in the lead up and continuing. Most importantly I would like to
thank the following current and ex Eltham High School students and their
friends for their enthusiasm and dedication in collecting for this very worthy
cause as well as the drivers from the Ford Car Club who helped to transport
students.
We had a
total of 59 collectors this year:
Pip
Hubbard, Kathleen ODonnell, Ashlyn Kennedy, Katie Holmes, James Kyritsis,
Angelique Kyritsis, Joanna Falalis, Callum McViegh, William
Naughton-Gravette, Tess Newport, Kaiden Garlick, Hannah Underwood, Lily

Ellie Porter, Melina Barlow, Callum McGough, Rachael Beatson, Sayna Sadigi,
Kirsten Langmade, Tom Mundy, 5 volunteers from Eltham College, 15 from Box
Hill High School and 14 from Ford Car Club.
In addition a big thanks to our two student leaders Iasbel
Rosenthall and Billy Naughton - Gravette for their efforts in recruiting the
team of current students to participate!

The Donydji
Cross Cultural Exchange is a program that allows students from Eltham High
School to visit and become involved with a small Indigenous community known
as Donydji, as well as a large hub centre of Gupuwiyak.
Donydji is
a small, isolated Homeland community in East Arnhem Land (in the Northern
Territory) composed of sixty people, and built on a respect for culture. The
Program, set up by ex-parent of the school, Dr. Neville White, (Emeritus Scholar at La Trobe University) and
Biology teacher Jon Baly, aims to promote individual and community awareness
and respect for Aboriginal culture through the most powerful kind of
education; personal experience.
Jon Baly,
organiser and avid advocate of the Program, is not without experience in
Indigenous communities, having taught in an Aboriginal community. Dr Neville
White, liaison between the school and Donydji, has played a primary role in
the Donydji community for over forty years. However, his role as spokesperson
for the community against mining laws and misguided government policy, as
well as interpreting the incomprehensible world of White Australia, cannot
continue forever. The Program creates a link between communities, far apart
as they may be- both physically and culturally. The small group of students
who become involved with the Donydji community return with a new level of
respect for cultural diversity, and an understanding of the possibility of
building links and bridges between communities and cultures without
inequality or disrespect.
Unfortunately,
because of the physical distance between Eltham High School and the Donydji
and Gupuwiyak communities, there is a high cost associated with the trip,
especially considering the nature of the flights. The first flight takes the
group to Cairns, from there on to Nhulunbuy/Gove (a remote community at the
Northern tip of Arnhem Land) and then a four hour drive in a troop carrier
follows, simply to reach the isolated community. While the students
contribute, a large portion of the cost must be sought through fundraising. As
the program is currently $9000 short, contributions (however small) are very
welcome to the school cashier. This unique experience is only possible with
community support.
The Donydji Cross Cultural Program is an invaluable promotion of
cultural awareness and respect for diversity. Take it from us, the students!
