Principal’s ReportStudent Achievement: The Nillumbik Prize 2013 Congratulations to Imogen Lee-Cowell (Year 12,, Stewart House) whose work “Head of Hair” has been selected for The Nillumbik Prize Exhibition which will run at Montsalvat between 13 -25 June. The exhibition will be opened by the Nillumbik Shire Mayor, Councillor Peter Perkins and it will be judged by Christopher Menz, former Director of the Art Gallery of South Australia. Three prizes will be presented; all non-acquisitive: 1st Prize of $5,000 and two commendations to the value of $500. To be selected for this prestigious exhibition is a great achievement and honour for Imogen and for Eltham High School, and recognition of the ongoing tradition of excellent art teaching. I wish Imogen all the very best with the exhibition and the judging. Victorian Schools’ Music Festival - Strings Congratulations to all the students in the Junior and Senior Strings Ensembles that participated in the strings section of the Victorian Schools’ Music Festival. I was very privileged to attend these performances with the students and I was very proud of them as were the number of parents that came along to listen to their children make music. After each school’s performance, one of the judges conducted an on-stage tutorial with the students and I know that all of our students found this very beneficial. Further to this, each conductor was treated to a one-on-one conducting tutorial provided by our very own Ingrid Martin, who has only recently returned from the US for a short time. Ingrid is currently studying under the renowned professor in conducting, Craig Kirchhoff, at the University of Minnesota. The students quite proudly returned home with a Gold Shield for the Senior Ensemble and a Silver Shield for the Junior Ensemble. This is a great achievement for both groups but in particular for the Junior Ensemble which consists of a number of students who have only joined the Strings Program this year and picked up their instruments for the first time a few months ago. An outstanding achievement for all concerned and I thank the teachers and conductor Amberley Bremner and Gideon Bosua for their never ending support of our young people.
Montsalvat Patrons’ Day Tim Natoli (Assistant Principal) and I attended the launch of the Patrons’ Program at Montsalvat last Sunday, 2 June. It was a great afternoon rediscovering a place I had thought that over the years I had become very familiar with. The visit and the accompanying tour opened my eyes to the wonderful work that continues to go on and around the place, often behind the scenes. I also listened to a very aspirational vision presented by it’s now Chair of the Board of Directors, Morag Fraser (AM) and reinforced by the CEO of Montsalvat, Rob Hauser. The experience was uplifting and immediately I began to think of how our students could benefit from all that Montsalvat has to offer. From its very humble beginnings Montsalvat has become one of Australia’s most treasured heritage settings continuing the ethos of building community through art. It is welcoming to the general public, committed to education in the arts, and to the vigorous promotion of local, national and international art and artists. I felt a real sense of synergy between our school and Montsalvat; a school that educated most of the children of the artists that lived and worked together in this great space. I congratulate Montsalvat’s Board of Directors and CEO who since 2007 have been the custodians of Montsalvat’s third evolutionary phase. I applaud their commitment, as they say “to take Montsalvat to a centenary worth celebrating, and beyond - into a thriving future.” I had a great afternoon and it provided me with the opportunity to meet past student Philip Adams, renowned writer, broadcaster and public intellectual. Whilst talking to Phillip about his old school he asked me whether we still have the quince orchard; funnily enough a couple of quince trees remain standing on the eastern boundary of the school. I invite you all to be part of the Montsalvat family by donating to its Patrons’ Program; a brochure is attached to the end of this Newsletter. June Examination Period The Year 11 exams are well on the way and students are engaging well with the experience provided to them. These exams will conclude this coming Friday and Units 2 and 4 will begin on Thursday, 13 June. Middle School Exams will then begin on 17 June. I wish all the students the very best in their preparation for this examination period and remind them of the importance of this process in preparing them for future exams. I take this opportunity to thank the Senior School Team, our Daily Organizer, our maintenance crew and teachers for their hard work with this process. On Tuesday, 12 June any student undertaking a Unit 3/4 sequence in 2013 will be sitting the General Achievement Test (GAT) set by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). Whilst students cannot specifically study for this test, they can most certainly prepare themselves more adequately by reviewing past papers which can be located on the VCAA website accompanied by assessment rubrics. I know that the Senior School Team and teachers have been preparing students for this test; I want to emphasise the importance of every student doing his/her best to achieve the very best possible outcome. I know that students see the relevance of this test to their End of Year results and I do urge them to have a clear strategy for completing each task in the test to give themselves the greatest possibility of success. I wish them all well! 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 ReportExams and Assessment While there are no mid-year examinations for Unit 3 subjects (Year 12), students in Year 11 are currently sitting their exams. These are running smoothly and many Year 11 students who undertake a Unit 3&4 subject will also undertake the General Achievement Test (GAT) next week. The GAT does not need to be studied for specifically, however, it is an important element of VCE assessment and should be taken seriously by all students. Information regarding the GAT has been distributed to all relevant students however if they are unsure they should approach the Senior School Office for further advice. During the week beginning 17 June Middle School students will begin their exams. The exam timetable with be published to students shortly and students will undertake exams in all subjects. The exams are not designed to determine whether or not a student has passed or failed a subject. Instead, they are designed as one important assessment task amongst others. The aim of the exam week is to allow students to develop experience in preparing for and undertaking exams during a formal exam period. If you have any queries regarding Middle School exams please do not hesitate to contact the Middle School team for further information on 94305110. Reports End of Semester 1 reports are currently being written by teachers. Tuesday 11 June is an official Report Writing Day and as such, students will not be required at school. Reports for students in Junior School and Senior School will be available online on Compass at 4:00pm on Monday 24 June. Middle School reports are online as from Monday 22 July, which ensures that assessment can continue right up until the end of semester. If you have any queries regarding reports or the reporting process, please contact me here at school. Tim Natoli Assistant Principal

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.

Paula, Kate, Amy and Dani Canteen Working Bee: 16 JuneThe Grounds Committee have scheduled the second Working Bee for Term 2 on Sunday 16 June from 9.00am to 12.30pm, with both morning tea and barbeque lunch provided. Hopefully we will have had an influx of precipitation to make a difference to the gardens around the school before this event. As usual we have a wide range of activities planned that requires a solid turnout of volunteers to make a difference to the external environment of the school. As well as a range of construction tasks planned there is lots of weeding, pruning and mulching tasks along with the predictable maintenance tasks such as mowing and brush cutting that need to be addressed. The following tasks have been prioritised for the event on the 16 June. It is hoped that the families who have nominated for this event will be contacted by me for their confirmation and directed to a task in advance of the day:
1. Construction of 12 uprights for the raised box seating arrangement adjacent to the Stadium complex. Crowbars, shovels and spirit levels will be required for this task. 2. Rails and tops to be attached to the raised box garden complex adjacent to the Stadium complex. Spirit levels and carpentry skills required. 3. Placement of 6m3 of soil in the raised box garden development adjacent to the Canteen. 4. The second raised box garden adjacent to the Canteen complex requires some deep ripping. We need some volunteers to get into the subsoil and deep rip it prior to planting. Picks required for this task. We also need to apply some gypsum after the ripping process. 5. Pruning, weeding and mulching in a range of locations across the campus. 6. Staining of the remaining bollards in the Central Courtyard complex and around the Pin-Oak, dependant of course on the conditions on the day. 7. Planting of approximately 80 Lomandra Longifolia on the north side of the 400’s complex. 8. Brush cutting and mowing in a range of locations across the campus complex. 9. Pruning, weeding and fertilising of the Fern Garden in the Arts complex. 10. Paving around the edges of the raised box garden adjacent to the Canteen.
Please park your vehicle on the hard courts adjacent to the Stadium or on the back oval. Follow the directional signage to the School Canteen where you will be signed in by a member of the Grounds Committee and directed to a task. Please remember to bring protective clothing, gloves and your drink bottle on the day
I look forward to your anticipated support on the 16 June.

SportLevel One Volleyball Referee Course Volleyball Victoria requires that each team taking part in the Victorian Schools’ Cup must provide a duty team. At least one member of the duty team must be a qualified Level One Referee. It would be very helpful for each team to have two qualified referees so that one can referee and one can score. I will be running a Level One Referee Course prior to the Victorian Schools’ Cup to allow students the opportunity to gain this grading. Details as follows: When: Wednesday at 3.30pm for an hour Dates: 12, 19 and 26 June Where: Room 203 in the Stadium Cost: $25 On completion of the course, you will gain an AVF Referee qualification.

Interschool Football Competition On Tuesday 28 May the Middle School Football Team played 3 matches at Diamond Creek Football Ground. In our first match we started at a high intensity and kicked the first couple of goals. After half time Diamond Valley unfortunately got on top of us and won the game, Eltham losing 3.2 20 to 4.9 33. After a long break the boys were refreshed and we came out and achieved a decisive win over Montmorency Secondary, winning 8.5 53 to 4.4 28. In the final game the undefeated St. Helena Secondary College out skilled us, disappointingly overcoming our group 3.0 18 to 8.7 55. Throughout the day players like Harvey Furlong, Cody Johnstone and Angus Robertson showed excellent talent and were the best three on the ground. Well done to Lochlan Clamp for kicking 4 goals from his very efficient 4 possessions. Thank you to Mr Nicholson for coaching the team. Braydon Turner Captain Year 10 Student

Craig Bradley eLearning & ICT Leader WellbeingFamily Breakups And Young People Relationship breakups are often traumatic for everyone involved, never more so than for the children and young people caught up in the conflict of parents who separate. Sometimes young people want to discuss with me a family separation, custody issue or blended family living arrangements. Many talk about witnessing conflict between their parents, and feel confused about what might happen in the future, or blame themselves for the conflict. This can often impact on their ability to engage at school and their friendships. After a young person’s parents have separated or divorced, they might be living with one parent or rotate between the two. In this case, young people have spoken about the challenge of travelling between two houses and how this impacts on their ability to be organised for school. They are sometimes upset that they cannot see as much of one parent as they used to. Separated parents who are still engaged in conflict with each other sometimes try and get information about the other parent from their child or criticise the other parent in front of the child; this too can cause young people to feel distressed. Some children and young people find it particularly difficult to adjust to their parent being in a new relationship or moving in with their new partner. There may be open conflict or the young person may not feel comfortable around a step-parent or new partner because the young person may feel like this person is trying to replace their other parent. I thought I would include in this week’s Newsletter some information about how parents can help children and young people in this situation and where help and support can be found: · Reassure them that the separation was not their fault · Emphasise that both parents still love and care for them · Ensure that parental conflict is handled maturely and in private · If a non-resident parent, keep in regular contact with the child · If the child lives between two homes, give them their own space in each home so they can feel comfortable wherever they are · Contact the Sub School Coordinator and let them know what may be impacting your young person · Tell them about Kids Helpline if they need to talk to someone neutral or seek counselling for your young person. Kids Helpline is available 24/7 to offer children and young people help and support about any situation: Call 1800 55 1800 or visit www.kidshelp.com.au. Or visit www.kidshelp.com.au/upload/22937.pdf for further parenting tips on this matter.
