Principal’s ReportStudent Achievement The Victoria Flute Guild’s 20th Annual Flute Ensemble Competition: On Sunday 26 May the Eltham Flute Ensemble took part in the 20th Annual Flute Ensemble Competition held in the J. T. Auditorium at Methodist Ladies College. The ensemble performed admirably in the 18 Years & Under - Large Ensemble section taking out first prize from a list of 10 competing ensembles. This is an outstanding achievement and one that we are very proud of. I congratulate: Lauren Scalzo (Year 11, Rutter House), Anna Telfer (Year 11, Andrew House), Emily Everett (Year 11, Rutter House), Kate Glynatsis (Year 10, Stewart House), Gabriella Alberti (Year 10, Stewart House), Rebecca Gawler (Year 10, Rutter House), Georgia Vatch (Year 9, Stewart House) and Michaela Prunotto. I congratulate Ms Carol Galea (conductor of the ensemble) and Mr Mark Shiell (flute teacher) and thank them both for their ongoing encouragement and support of our young adults in this well-deserved recognition! In particular, I recognize that in providing this opportunity for our students Carol did take time away from her own family on this weekend and I thank her for this.
Senior Strings Ensemble: On Sunday 19 May, the Senior String Ensemble represented Eltham High School at the AUSTA Strings Festival. The students, combined with over 150 other musicians, were given the opportunity to perform a piece they have worked on during school rehearsals as well as workshop a new piece by Australian Composer, Stephen Chin. The individual piece they performed featured: solos on electric violin by Katta O’Donnell (Year 10, Stewart House), Bhavani O’Donovan (Year 9, Stewart House) and Chrissy Fitzmaurice (Year 8, Andrew House); mandolin played by Bailey Hume (Year 8, Rutter House); drum kit, played by Harry Symons (Year 11, Stewart House). The students were extremely professional and very motivated to share their hard work. Their performance was very well received. There was extensive positive feedback from staff and students from other schools, audience members and most significantly the students. Abigail Wilson (Year 7, Stewart House), a new member to Senior Strings this year, stated that this opportunity encouraged her to develop a closer connection with the individual members of the ensemble. Zac Petrou (Year 9, Rutter House) stated that it was amazing to contribute to such a large orchestra, especially such a large viola section! Both Amberley Bremner and Gideon Bosua (Instrumental Music Teachers) have indicated that they felt extremely proud to belong to the Eltham String Ensemble, observing students maximize their skills, love of music and leadership benefits. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the students as well as their exceptionally talented teachers and coaches and in particular Amberley and Gideon who were prepared to give up their weekend to support our young people and provide this wonderful experience for them.
Drama Ensemble Performances: Congratulations to all the students that participated in the Units 1/3 Drama Ensemble Performances last Thursday evening. Unfortunately I was unable to attend but I am told that the performances were very well received by the audience. I did ask Mr Natoli (Assistant Principal) to attend on my behalf and somehow he became embroiled in the performance. I wonder how that happened! Anyhow, a great night was had by all. State Volleyball Finals: Congratulations to all the teams that participated in the State Volleyball finals as well as all the coaches that have been preparing the students for this event. The results were outstanding and these are outlined in a further section of this newsletter. As an example for the fifth year in a row the Senior Boys’ Team remains the undefeated champion. A great effort! EHS Cross Country: Congratulations to all the students that participated in this year’s Cross-Country run. Some great times were achieved by a number of students who I am sure will represent Eltham High School at forthcoming competitions. I thank our Sports Co-ordinators Nic Cooper and Lucy Bowman and all the staff that supported the event. Artist’s Talk Initiative: Last Thursday, 23 May, saw the inaugural Artist’s Talk being presented to students and staff at our school. We welcomed artist Ruth Marshall who as we found out through her art has reached out to many people across the world. Ruth Marshall is an Australian Artist who was employed by the Bronx Zoo in New York as an artist in residence. Her work is currently exhibited at Montsalvat. Ruth’s presentation gave us an insight into her work which focuses on the subject matter of endangered animals presented in a most creative form as well as an insight into her career path. After studying at RMIT University, Ruth won the Samstag Foundation Study and Travel Grant (South Australia) that allowed her to study at the Pratt Institute of Art and Design in New York. Her work is strong and important and her career is inspiring and relevant to all aspiring artists. What a great opportunity for our young people to hear from a renowned practising artist right on their door step. I congratulate Ms Ute Leiner for her initiative in getting this off the ground and I look forward the next Artist’s Talk presentation. Gonski Reform: Last Saturday, 25 May, I attended the community rally at Melbourne’s Treasury Gardens aimed at giving Premier Napthine the message that for the benefit of our young people and their education he must sign up to the National School Funding reform. It was great to see a number of both current and past parents and students at the rally as well as staff. This was one of the many rallies taking place at around the same time across the State and we hope that these will have an impact on the State Government’s decision in relation to the Gonski Review funding reforms. I want to thank every member of our community that came out on the day in support of the future of our government school education system and ultimately of our young people. Student Safety: A reminder to both students and parents of the importance of student safety around the school at peak times of the day. In the mornings and in the afternoon rush periods it is important that drivers into and around the school remain vigilant of student movement. It is just as important that students remain very aware of vehicle movement, particularly through the drive-in area at the front of the school.
I acknowledge that everyone wants to move out as quickly as possible but everyone is in the same boat and a little patience I am sure will serve us all well. Strange car manoeuvres and students moving in and out and around cars will impinge on student safety. I ask students and parents to take note of this request and to be prudent in traffic in and around the school.
Vincent Sicari Principal Assistant Principal’s ReportStudent Engagement and Wellbeing In the School Strategic Plan for 2013 – 2016, the goal for ‘Student Engagement and Wellbeing’ is to build students’ independence and enjoyment of learning and increase their capacity to take responsibility for their own learning. While this is an ongoing focus in all aspects of our work at Eltham High School, I would like to report on some recent work that has a focus on two of the identified Key Improvement Strategies; · Strengthen student relationships and sustain a harmonious learning environment · Strengthen opportunities for student leadership
These Key Improvement Strategies were evident in the planning for the program for Middle School last week. With year 10 students out of the school on Work Experience, the focus for year 9 students was on growth and leadership. The program for the week included an ‘Amazing Race’ based in the CBD which was a fantastic opportunity for small groups of students to work with a staff member to complete a range of challenges. School based programs included a Reach program, Careers seminars and a Leadership seminar. Students actively engaged in all aspects of the program and by all accounts had a great week.
I worked with a group of year 9 students for the Leadership seminar. It was inspiring to hear students talk about the qualities of a good leader, observe them working collaboratively on building a tower and then reviewing the contributions made by members of the group, and proposing ways that students can have more of a voice in decisions being made about their school. This work will inform the next stages of work being done to identify further opportunities for student leadership.
New VCE Subject – VCE Extended Investigation Extended Investigation is a new VCE subject at Eltham High School which will be study scored in 2014. The subject has been piloted at Eltham High through VCAA for 2 years with much success. The subject is a Unit 3/4 sequence only and is available to all Year 11 and 12 students. The focus of the subject is on students developing and conducting a research project in an area of interest to them. Students are able to pursue almost any area of interest through their investigation. The research project is an individual project although students work collaboratively to support each other through the research process. Students are taught skills including developing research questions, critical thinking, research ethics and method design, academic writing and presentation. Eltham High School has also developed a partnership with LaTrobe University who pair Extended Investigation students with a university based academic mentor. The skills taught in this subject are of benefit not only in other VCE subjects but as students’ transition to high education. Further details are available in the Senior School Subject Selection Handbook. Anyone who would like further information can also speak to Ms Clarke (Office Room 304), Mrs Reed and Madame Hughes (both in Room 144), all of whom teach the subject. These teachers will also be available at lunchtime on Wednesday 29 May in room 301 to answer any questions for those who wish to attend.

Loren Clarke Literacy Support Coordinator Middle School NewsThe Year 9 and 10 students in Middle school were very busy last week with work experience for the year 10’s and a range of Pathway programs and challenges to engage our year 9’s. Some of the interesting work place arrangements were Jordan Gough: Whitsunday Seaplanes, Whitsunday Island QLD; Molly Townsend: Melbourne Museum; Murphy Shallard: The Reach Foundation. The program for year 9’s consisted of a leadership seminar, a Reach program, career information seminars, some core classes and On Demand testing in numeracy. The leadership seminar focused on student voice, characteristics of a good leader and discussions around what programs and activities students would like to see in the future. The Reach program encouraged students to explore and express their beliefs, values and emotions within a safe and supported environment. Moreover, the Amazing race supported these programs by enabling students to put leadership and teamwork skills into action. The week was extremely successful and all the students benefited from the program. I would like to thank the following people for their hard work as part of the organisational team: Christine Andrews, Cindy Ahern, John Gioskos, Ross Pringle, Luke Herring, Cathy Cukier, Jane Nicholson, the Middle school sub school team and all the staff involved in supporting these programs during the week.

Meet in room 134 at 12.45pm on Wednesday 29 May Mrs Andrews Student Growth and Student Leader Coordinator DramaUnits 1 & 3 VCE Drama Performance on 23 May The highly talented students of the VCE Drama class presented their self-devised Ensemble performances to an enthusiastic audience of around 100 people in the Drama Room on the evening of Thursday 23 May. The presentations were the culmination of a semester of research, writing, workshopping and rehearsal. The students began in term 1 by discussing the idea of a collapse of trust in the established pillars of society, particularly politics and the churches, which was topical at the time. They then selected Absurdist theatre as a theatrical style with which to explore this idea. They studied the history, styles and conventions of Absurdist theatre, particularly the works of Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco. They refined their topic down to a statement: "In X we trust", then each group created their own theatrical explorations of the topic, each group choosing their own "X". These were innocence, justice, mystery, technology and family. The students had to create, perform and direct their own pieces. As well as demonstrating their understanding of Absurdum the students had to employ a range of non-naturalistic techniques and exhibit use of the 12 elements of Drama. The outcome was 5 thought provoking, energetic, controlled, fast paced and intricate pieces of theatre that had their audience enthralled. All students are to be congratulated on their splendid efforts.
