Telopea Topics No7 2024

REPORT FROM THE DEPUTY PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents and Carers,

Autumn has arrived and I hope you have had the opportunity to enjoy the beauty that Canberra provides at this time of the year.  Students from Years 2 – 6 were lucky to enjoy our Cross Country Carnival at Stromlo Park on Thursday 16^th May with terrific weather in a wonderful setting.  I sincerely thank all the teachers, led by Raphael V, for their organization, supervision, and management of the day.  I am also extremely appreciative of the support of our Secondary Sports Leadership students who, under the guidance of their teacher, Simon Foxhill, facilitated a fantastic day of cross country running, novelty games and allowed us time to come together as a Primary community. 

All Primary students have been actively engaging in our Positive Behaviours for Learning and look forward to the drawing of tokens during Weekly Announcements.  Those students who have had their name drawn from the Token House box join Patrice and me for lunch in the Conference Room.  It is a great opportunity to share lunch, special treats and celebrate the positive behaviours continually displayed by the students.  Our goal over the next few weeks is working on assembly etiquette and I look forward to building our students’ capacity to participate in the various assemblies and ceremonies that occur throughout the year.

Our Reading Dog program has continued into 2024 and expanded from Year 2 to include our Kindergarten children.  We are very lucky to have Winne (and her owners Miriam and Dan), and Ashima (and her owner Allison), visit our school and work with Kindergarten and Year 2 students to build their confidence and skills in reading.

I would like to take the time to remind you of the supervision arrangements for Primary students before and after school.  Supervision is provided from 8.30am – 3.30pm and I ask that you make alternative arrangements if your child requires supervision outside these times, noting that we have an excellent Out of School Hours program.  I also ask that you collect your Primary child/ren as soon as you are able and vacate school grounds so we can determine which children need additional Executive support, as well as attend to various meetings, as quickly as possible. 

Finally, I am excited to announce the appointment of a Youth Worker in the Primary school and welcome Aydan Lawrence to our community.  Ayden has begun development of various activities and clubs in collaboration with Keren Briggs (Executive Teacher Student Welfare) that he will implement over the coming weeks, and I look forward to seeing our children continue to thrive with the increasing opportunities that are provided.

NOTES DU PRINCIPAL-ADJOINT

Chères familles,

L'automne est là, et j'espère que vous avez l'occasion de pouvoir profiter de la beauté de Canberra à cette époque de l'année.  Les élèves de CE1 à 6e ont eu la chance de participer au cross de l’école à Stromlo Park le jeudi 16 mai, avec un temps magnifique et un cadre splendide.  Je remercie sincèrement tous les enseignants, sous la direction de Raphael V, pour l'organisation, la surveillance des élèves et la gestion de cette magnifique journée.  Un grand merci également à nos élèves du secondaire qui, avec  leur professeur, Simon Foxhill, ont participé à l’organisation de cette journée fantastique et du cross, ainsi que l’animation de jeux. Leurs efforts nous ont permis de nous rassembler en tant que communauté du primaire.  

Tous les élèves du primaire se sont activement investis dans nos renforcements des comportements positifs et attendent avec impatience le tirage au sort des badges pendant les annonces de la semaine.  Les élèves dont le nom a été tiré au sort dans la boîte des badges de leur Maison nous rejoignent, Patrice et moi, pour déjeuner dans la salle de conférence.  C'est une excellente occasion de déjeuner ensemble, avec des petits plaisirs, et de célébrer les comportements positifs affichés par les élèves.  Notre objectif pour les prochaines semaines est de travailler sur les règles attendues lors des assemblées, et je suis ravie de travailler avec  nos élèves sur leur aptitude à participer aux diverses assemblées et cérémonies qui se déroulent tout au long de l'année.

Notre programme de lecture avec les chiens se poursuit en 2024 et inclut à présent  nos élèves de grande section de maternelle.  Nous avons la chance d'avoir Winne (et ses propriétaires Miriam et Dan), et Ashima (et sa propriétaire Allison), qui viennent à l’école et travaillent avec les élèves de grande section de maternelle et de CE1 pour renforcer leur assurance et leurs compétences en lecture.

J’aimerais vous rappeler les règles de l’école en matière de surveillance des élèves du primaire avant et après la classe.  La surveillance est assurée de 8h30 à 15h30 et je vous demande de prendre vos dispositions si votre enfant a besoin d'être gardé en dehors de ces horaires, sachant que nous disposons d'une excellente garderie du matin et du soir..  Je vous demande également de venir chercher vos enfants du primaire dès que vous le pouvez et de quitter l'enceinte de l'école afin que nous puissions déterminer quels enfants ont besoin d'être gardés,  et pour nous participer à diverses réunions le plus rapidement possible.  

Enfin, j'ai le plaisir d'annoncer la nomination d'un animateur à l'école primaire et je souhaite la bienvenue à Aydan Lawrence au sein de notre communauté.  Ayden a commencé à développer diverses activités et clubs en collaboration avec Keren Briggs (enseignante executive) qu'il mettra en œuvre au cours des prochaines semaines, et je suis ravie de voir nos élèves continuer à s'épanouir grâce aux activités toujours plus nombreuses qui leur sont offertes.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Primary Choir students who showcased their musical talents at the recent FAPS Fete on Saturday, 18th May. Their melodious voices resonated beautifully, captivating the audience and adding a touch of charm to the festivities. Well done to all our talented performers!

Harmonious Collaboration: Year 6 Combined Band

Our Year 6 Band had the pleasure of collaborating with students from Forrest Primary School, and the result was truly beautiful! Together, they delivered an impressive performance, showcasing their musical prowess. The highlights of the morning were their rendition of Linus and Lucy, Infinity, Spider Pig and Latin Fire, which left the Year 4 audience spellbound and looking forward to their opportunity to join the band next year. They even got to attempt Bohemian Rhapsody, which was quite a challenge!

Embracing Reconciliation Week

As we prepare to commemorate National Reconciliation Week, we are reminded of the importance of fostering understanding, respect, and unity within our school community. In the spirit of reconciliation, we hosted a whole primary school assembly on Thursday, 23rd May. We invited all students, staff, and parents to join us as we come together to reflect, learn, and celebrate our shared journey towards reconciliation.

We look forward to continuing our journey of learning, growth, and collaboration as we embark on these exciting initiatives and events together. Thank you for your ongoing support and participation!

The students enjoyed looking at all the equipment he brought to show. Charlotte’s Dad, Ben, spoke about the meaning of ANZAC Day. Ben is in the Navy. He also talked about his job and life in the Navy in general. In particular, students were inquisitive about life on ships and submarines. Thank you to both parents.

PE AND HEALTH NEWS

Secondary PE & Health News

Wow, what a busy year it has been so far in the Physical Education and Health faculty. This year has seen some movement in our faculty staff with Mr Jacob Fruean and Mr Ben Favero joining our team. We farewelled Mr James McAuliffe and Mrs Alex Currie, who have both moved to new schools.

The following is a wrap up of all things Secondary PE, Health and school sport from term 1 and early term 2, and a look at what is still to come this term.

Physical and Health Education

All students have settled well into their PE classes for the semester. So far students have engaged in a variety of sports, kicking off with an Indigenous and Cultural Games unit. Most classes are finishing up their Health unit over the upcoming weeks – this year we have trialled a new program of Health classes once a week rather than in a 3-4 week block. Health units for semester one are Food, nutrition, healthy people and healthy communities (year 7), Mental health and wellbeing (year 8) and Relationships & sexuality (years 9 & 10).

Students are completing their Athletics unit in preparation for our school athletics carnival to be held in week 6 (Thursday June 6). Following athletics, students will engage in 2 various sporting units to finish off the semester.

Our Year 9/10 elective classes have been busy exploring the opportunities in their respective specialties.

Fitness for Life and Fitness for Boys have been making the most of the opportunity to visit Club Lime in Kingston and work on their individual fitness plan to improve their targeted fitness goals. Class fitness sessions at school have helped to improve their teamwork and general components of fitness.

Our Sports Leadership students have been busy helping out our primary area's swimming and cross country carnivals, as well as coaching their classes on a Friday afternoon - and boy oh boy have they gained a new appreciation of their teachers and parents. They were also invited to be the timekeepers at the ACT 12 & Under swimming championships earlier in the term. We love the way our students can not only support the primary area of our school, but also our school sporting community across the ACT.

Our STRIVE students have been participating in their team challenge activities and have been working on their Community Service Project. We are looking forward to their presentations soon, and the awarding of the team challenge cup later in the term. There is lots of debate about whether the blue team, or the red team, will be crowned champions for Semester 1.

Year 10 Outdoor Education enjoyed a 3-day coast camp in term 1 with the opportunity to put their Australian Snorkelling award to practice in the open water on the Far Scout Coast. They also enjoyed some surfing sessions, fishing and night games and challenges on the beach. The class is presently invested in some team building initiative games and they are loving the leadership opportunities, challenges and laughter it is bringing.

Year 9/10 Outdoor Education were challenged and tested on their 3-day hiking and camping trip to Birrigai. The 3 teams built their own shelters for one night, competed for food and rations, and had a yummy breakfast cooked for them as a reward for surviving the elements in their shelters. It was a challenging but rewarding experience for them all. The class earlier learned the finer skills in Mountain Biking around our school and the local area and are about to begin their Archery unit.

Women in Sport are planning their “health Expo” which will soon be presented to the year 7 girls – it’s an exciting opportunity for them to present information and strategies to their younger peers, based on what they “wish they knew more about” when they were in year 7. The girls have also enjoyed a variety of recreational activities and are looking forward to continuing their challenges and enjoyment around all things involving an active and healthy lifestyle.

Sports Carnivals

Finally, we were able to kick off our sporting carnival calendar for the year … which gives our House Captains the chance to lead and organise their house groups.

Congratulation to the 2024 house captains:

Senior

Junior

Secondary Swimming Carnival

Early term 1 we had our Secondary Swimming Carnival at Dickson – lots of competitors and lots of fun had by everyone. Beach Volleyball games and novelties were a hit with everyone. Congratulations to the following Age Champions

12 years – Havana Foulcher and Janko Zagrapan

13 years – Madeleine Radnedge and Naland Huynh

14 years – Eleanor Barker and Ruhain Ambepitiyage

15 years – Emma Zhang and Campbell Quartly

16+ years – Genevieve Mitcham and Jerome Huynh

Thank you to Ms Parker and Ms Moro for the excellent carnival – lots of students were participating and enjoying the races and novelties.

We had a team of over 30 students swim at the South Regional Competition, and then 15 qualify for ACT. No final results from the ACT Day yet – we will share them soon. Well done to all competitors.

Secondary Cross Country

We returned to Stromlo Forest Park this year for our annual Cross Country. Lots of competitors in our races, and it was great to see everyone our out and about in our 30min fun run. There was loads of colour, dancing to the awesome tunes provided by Mr Fruean, one of our new PE staff members, and fun to be had at the volleyball and tug-of-war novelties as well.

Thank you to Mr Sherwin and Mr Fruean for organising and leading a fabulously fun day.

Our congratulations to all students for their participation and particularly to those who were winners within their respective race groups.

Age Champions and race winners this year are as follows:

12 years – Gurasees Gill and Vihain Sanagala Venkata

13 years – Matilda Bannerman and Nivin Vinothkumar

14 years – Bridget Grove and Thomas Madigan

15 years – Annora Oh and Nayan Manoharan

16+ years – Layla Barbour and Adam Ayad

The regional Cross Country Carnival will be held at Stromlo Forest Park on Friday June 14^th. The top 1 place getter of each age group receive automatic qualification. Qualifier names have been placed on the PE noticeboard and these students should have already received their permission forms to return in anticipation of this event. We wish the 120 qualifying students well.

The last of school carnivals, the Athletics carnival, will be held in Week 6, on June 6^th, at Woden Athletics Park (near The Canberra Hospital). It will no doubt be a chilly morning and students need to ensure they are rugged up and are warm. Students will come to school as normal at the start of the day and then be bused to and from the venue. We encourage all students to come dressed in their House colours, or PE uniform for the day. For our families and students new to the school, our Houses are as follows:

CAMPBELL (Red) – Surnames A-D

FARRER (Blue) – Surnames E-K

MOORE (Green) – Surnames L-R

THROSBY (Yellow) – Surnames S-Z

The carnival will include 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, relays, long jump, triple jump, shot put and discus. Students wanting to compete in high jump and javelin are able to do so at school in pre-carnival events which starts next week. Sign-up sheets for the at-school events are on the PE noticeboard and the schedule is in the daily notices. The cost of the carnival day is $10 and includes transport and the ground hire costs. Athletics Carnival permission notes have been sent home through contact group. Mr Foxhill, Miss Bobbin and Mr Favero have been working very hard to coordinate all things Track and Field, and ensure the staff and students have the best day possible.

Thanks too, for all 3 carnivals, to the Hospitality classes and their teachers for their preparation of the superb refreshments for the teachers. It is a long busy day for teachers, and the constant provision of fine food and snacks is greatly appreciated.

School Sport

We started our 2024 SSACT competitions with ACT Tennis, sending 27 students along as part of the SSACT senior team trial day. All players came away with a great experience and we saw a couple of them appearing in the School Sport Australia 18 & Under Championships (which includes the Pizzey Cup and Aussie Cup tournaments) which were held in Hobart earlier this term – Tommy Camus represented Telopea in the ACT team, along with Aliyah Dwyer and Dylan Beeharry – both former Telopea Park School students.

Touch

Our 7/8 and 9/10 boys teams joined the South Touch Football day for the first time in a couple of years. They had a great day out, learned a lot about the fast paced game,and have vowed to come back next year to give it another go. We enjoy seeing our students try new sports, with their friends, representing our school with passion, energy and commitment. Well done to these boys, and their teachers, for their efforts and time.

Futsal

We sent off 4 teams to the ACT Schools championships in term 1 – our 9/10 boys bringing home the championship trophy with a repeat of their finals winning performance last year. Our year 7/8 girls narrowly missed out on the top spot in their competition with a closely fought penalty shootout. Out 7/8 boys and 9/10 girls made it through to the semi finals. This was a highly successful competition for Telopea and our teams, building for the outdoor competition in term 3.

South Region Volleyball

Our 9/10 girls took out the South region championships last week – CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS. Our 7/8 girls team were holding their own, winning the majority of their games and making it through to the semi finals. Our boys teams are playing on Friday this week. ACT Finals will be in week 9.

There are still some opportunities remaining for term 2 that which students can get involved in. Sign-up sheets are available on the PE Noticeboard for students to express their interest in trying out for Hockey. Students should keep an ear out for announcements of trials for these sports throughout the term.

In term 3 we have opportunities to represent the school in Soccer (Football), Netball, Athletics, European Handball and Mountain Biking.

SKI TRIPS

We have managed to lock in 4 one-day ski trips this year – one for each year group. We are excited that the students enjoy these days with their friends and peers and we are lucky enough to be able to take all interested students. Notes to those students went out this week – and an email home to parents to let everyone know of the new spaces. The trip dates for each year group are

Year 8 – Week 1 - 27^th July

Year 7 – Week 2 – 2^nd August

Year 9 – Week 3 – 9^th August

Year 10 – Week 4 – 16^th August  

In order to meet our deadlines, the permission note, medical form and hire agreement, along with the final payment are due by the end of week 7 of this term. If your child missed out on their note, or is now keen to try skiing or snowboarding, please contact me on megan.taylor@ed.act.edu.au as soon as you can. There were around 10 spots left on each of the trips when I last checked.

Finally, if you have any questions about your child’s participation and progress in PE and Health or Sport, please feel free to contact myself or your child’s PE teacher (their name is on the mid-semester report for email purposes).

Regards

Megan Taylor (Executive Teacher – PE, Health and Sport)
