At The Heights School we believe that every
student is capable of achieving great outcomes
and my role as Achievement Leader is to facilitate
this for all our students. I’m excited and
enthused to explain my new role in the school
which is P – 12 Student Achievement and
Accountability Leader, plus Ignite.
In order to support students to achieve, Year
Level Team Leaders, Sub School Leaders, School
Counsellors and myself have been meeting with
identified students to complete Achievement
Conversations with Middle and Senior School
students for the past 4 weeks.
Students meet with one of us, review their 2014
Term 4 grades and Attitude to Learning and then
identify subjects they’re already successful in, as
well as subjects they need to be more successful
in. Students also identify barriers to their success
and write SMART (Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Realistic and Timely) goals to improve
their achievement and outcomes.
Without exception, students, Year Level Team
Leaders, Sub School Leaders, Student Counsellors
and myself have found these conversations
extremely beneficial and valuable. These
achievement conversations will occur for
students identified by the data each term, or until
they meet their specific learning goals
Students who have participated in achievement
conversations have been identified from 2
sources of data: either their Term 4 reports last
year, or Snapshots data. A snapshot is just that: a
snapshot of how your child’s teacher believes
that are achieving by week 5 of Term. This data is
not reported to parents, rather it is used by Year
Level Team Leaders, Sub School Leaders and
myself to talk to students to enable them to
understand how and why they are achieving at
their current level at that moment.
We anticipate the number of students who
participate in these conversations will decrease
over time, as all staff, parents and students
themselves at The Heights work together to
support all the students to improve their level of
achievement.
We have already completed the ACER test to begin the process of placement of students into the Year 8 Ignite
program in 2016, either in the Accelerated or Extended class. Testing for entry into the pre-Ignite Year 6 – 7 class
will be more formal this year, and will occur in Term 3. Year 5 students (and existing Year 6 students from 2015) will
complete a modified, ‘scaled down’ version of the test administered in Year 8. Years 8 and 9 extended classes’
Integrated Programs will also continue this year, with at least one parent showcase occurring throughout the year.
A ‘Thinking Routine’ to encourage deeper thinking
6/701, 6/702 and 6/704 have just started a unit of work in Geography about maps. As the teacher of this topic, I was
keen to find out what students already knew about maps, what things puzzled them about maps and what things
students wanted to further explore.
I used a ‘Thinking Routine’ called ‘Think, Puzzle, Explore’ to find out students responses. Students were required to
‘Think’ about anything they knew about maps, consider things that ‘puzzled’ them about maps, and write down
things they wanted to know or ‘explore’ about maps.
I was fascinated by the range of student responses, particularly the responses to what puzzled students and what
they wanted to explore. Here are some of the responses shared by students across all three classes:
How did people make maps in the olden days? How do we know what countries were called long ago?
Why are they called maps?
Why do towns have names?
How do we know what countries look like exactly?
How are maps converted to GPS?
What is the origin of maps?
Why are some maps large and some small?
Why did people use birds to help create maps?
Why do maps have lines?
What is longitude and latitude/how do they work?
How many islands are there?
Why don’t atlases use satellite maps in books, rather than drawing maps?
What are legends, keys and scales?
What will happen if we find another country?
Using the Thinking Routine ‘Think, Puzzle, Explore’ encouraged students to collaborate together and to think deeply
about something that first appears to be a simple topic (maps). It also generated excitement within the class about
the upcoming unit of work. I will be using these responses to direct my planning towards the issues the students
want to explore and look forward to exploring the topic of maps with my classes.

PARENT HELPERS/READING
When walking around the break out areas, it is great to see the number of volunteers
staying and helping out, particularly with reading. For people wanting to know more about how to support your child
to read at home, visit http://www.speld-sa.org.au/ and click on the “Click here for SPELD SA free online training
course”. You can then participate in the online training module “Teaching a Child to Read and Write” or you can click
on the “Link” which will take you to the printable version of this module. We would really encourage all parents to
have a look at this whether you volunteer or not.
PROGRAM ACHIEVE
Program Achieve continues to be a major focus for the Junior School. Learner wellbeing is most important for
success at school. Program Achieve with the five keys of Getting Along, Organisation, Confidence, Persistence and
Resilience are a key foundation for supporting success. Central to the development of these 5 foundations is
instilling in young people 12 Habits of the Mind that support and nourish the 5 foundations, including Accepting
Myself, Taking Risks, Setting Goals, Planning My Time, Being Tolerant of
Others, Thinking First, Playing by the Rules, and Social Responsibility (includes
the values of respect, responsibility, caring, fairness and honesty).
WHAT’S THE BUZZ
Mrs Ierace has been working with classes and small groups with a
program called “What’s the Buzz?. This is a social skills enrichment programme for primary students'. It is set up with
16 lesson highly structured, role-play and play-based program designed to teach children how to think socially and
make friendship work. The programme engages children into feeling friendship together, it encourages them to see
it, taste it, smell it and laugh with each other. It connects young people and offers them the skills to
belong. Some of the lessons include meeting people and discovering differences; joining in; sharing
and taking turns; winning and losing – ‘gracefully’ and angry feelings just to name a few.
http://www.whatsthebuzz.net.au
An example of a game is as follows:
Meeting people and exiting - Game, Back to Back
This game can be played inside or outside. Players walk freely about a large space, but one of the players is
nominated as ‘it’. When ‘it’ calls, "Back to back!", all players quickly find a partner and stand back to back. Then ‘it’
says "go" and players are free to move again. When ‘it’ calls, "Face to Face!", then all players quickly find a partner,
face each other, say "hello" and shake hands. Tell the players to be careful because ‘it’ will try to get with a partner
during the change. The player left out will become ‘it’. The idea is NOT to become ‘it’.

Year 10 Extra Science Nanotechnology
This term, students studying extra science in year 10 have been learning about big discoveries of Nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology is at the forefront of today’s science and technology, enabling scientists to manipulate individual
atoms and molecules. The ‘interdisciplinary’ nature of nanotechnology, which means that it involves concepts of
more than one science discipline (such as chemistry, physics and biology), means student engagement in the
program is high. Students have been exploring how materials at the nanoscale – 1000th of a millimetre in size, have
different properties from the properties the material has at the macroscale – can be seen by the human eye.
Properties such as electrical conductivity, optical, mechanical, colour, strength and weight will differ.
One of the exciting discoveries in the field of nanotechnology has been that carbon can form two tiny, nanometre
sized structures that are too small to see: buckyballs and carbon nanotubes. Carbon atoms can bond together to
form different structures and different forms of carbon have very different properties. Buckyballs and carbon
nanotubes have special properties due to the way their carbon atoms are arranged.
Buckyball
Buckyballs are molecules consisting of 60 carbon atoms assembled in a form similar to a
soccer ball. They’re named after Buckminster Fuller, an architect who designed geodesic
dome structures. To gain a deeper understanding of the structure of Buckyballs, students
were given some basic information and working in teams, attempted to create a Buckyball.
This knowledge of the structure of Buckyballs enabled them to comprehend current
research into the use of Buckyballs. Scientists are investigating whether the hollow
structure of the Buckyball could make them useful for delivering medicine in the future.

ALPHASHOWS CINDERELLA
On Thursday 26th February Alphashows performed their full theatrical musical to around 400 students from
preschool to year 7 in the school gym. Cinderella was loud, funny and colourful. It covered the values of self worth,
confidence and kindness. In class students were inspired to produce work in the Arts and English. They learned about
the job of being an actor, the theatre experience and dramatic elements. Here are some group and individual
responses from the Year 5’s in Ms Weniton’s class.

We liked Baldrick’s funny sense of humour.
We enjoyed the interesting song selections.
Beady’s character was enthusiastic and his lines were enjoyable. I liked him
because he was a different character too. Next time I see an Alpha show I would
like to see more of the person who played Beady and Baldrick.
The acting was funny and weird.
The sets were fantastic and we liked the sliding things.
I liked the stepsister character because she spoke loud and clear and she acted
really well. The actor was really enthusiastic and happy.
Her voice was funny. It sounded like a mirror cracking.
We liked the costumes because they could change.
We liked when they did all the funny dances.
We liked the humorous acting because the jokes were funny and for all ages.

We would like it if the step sisters and step mum
didn’t squeal at the end of each sentence.
We wish Cinderella’s voice was louder.

CLIPSAL 500 EXCURSION
On Thursday 26th of February ,Year 6/7 students from 6/704 went to the Clipsal
500. We went there for a few reasons - to have fun, experience an event that we
normally would not be able to go to, and to collect data and identify aspects of the
course for our Clipsal 500 Mathematics tasks.
A bonus was that the whole event was free for school groups with students under
13. In the two weeks before we went, each person had to pick a mathematically
based task revolving around the Clipsal 500 and plan a summative assessment
piece relating to it. We were able to use the Clipsal website and an information
pack Mr Markou had prepared.
Some topics people chose included:

collecting, graphing and analysing data on prices at the event including
types of cars, speeds of vehicles and cost of merchandise/food.


Use of maps to navigate around the course.
attendance comparisons over the years and identifying trends
in data.
likelihood of crashes based on angles of track corners.

Once we knew our topic and task, we knew what to plan for and what
to keep an eye out for at the event.
We arrived at the event via an Adelaide Metro bus, which was free as
long as we were going to Clipsal. People were extremely excited on the
way to the event. We walked from the bus stop to Gate 6. Upon
arriving we were greeted by what felt like a sea of people. There were
hundreds of people lining up to get in. Over 3500 students were there
from schools and 43,700 people attended on the first day. There were
people selling programs and a whole lot of merchandise and food.
Some groups recorded relevant information for their task. There were also
opportunities to get free merchandise, such as hats, balloons (which popped),
face painting, posters and stickers.
Our first stop was to get ear plugs. Boy was it loud! We broke off into our parent
groups and explored the track using maps. We spent two hours exploring so
many aspects of the Clipsal. We were able to see some really special cars that we
wouldn’t usually see, such as Ferraris and Porsches. There was a special Ferrari
parade on the tracks which some groups were able to view. We loved the Gold
Zone since we were able to see our favourite cars such as Lamborghinis,
McLarens, Porsches and Audis.
We learnt a lot of information about the cars by seeing them first hand. The GoPro Zone was cool because the ramp was really steep (over 10 metres) and BMX
riders performed amazing jumps from this height. On the track the speed of the
cars was very fast (up to 230km/h) and we even saw some crashes. Luckily,
nobody was injured.
The Army and Defence section was an eye opener because we could see first hand, a range of army equipment we
normally wouldn’t have the chance to experience. We were able touch, see and feel a range of army equipment.
At midday we all met up for the free concert. A group of our class were very excited to see Justice Crew perform.
Others were just glad to get some time to eat, rest and re energize in the shade.
After the concert we explored for another hour before heading back to Gate 6 and meeting the other groups and
boarding our bus back to school.
Overall the day was both educational and enjoyable. We were disappointed that we had to leave. We now have just
over a week to get our Maths tasks done and show the class what we have learnt from the event. We enjoyed the
extraordinary experience. Thank you to our teacher Mr Markou for organizing the event and a huge thank you to our
parent volunteers Sarah Adams, Meenu Aiden, Rachel Fabian, Adrian Marschall and Noelle Wallis. We couldn't have
gone without your help.

CLIPSAL 500 – STAGE1 AND 2 ESL
Year 11 and 12 ESL students had an insight into the work of a news reporter on the first day of Clipsal 500.
As part of the SACE ESL Communication Study we spent several lessons before the excursion analysing the structure
and language of a range of news reports, researching the Clipsal 500 event and developing detailed and descriptive
information using word banks.
The group was then ready to set off with cameras to film a six minute report, including information about
merchandise, ticketing, displays, exhibitions, children’s entertainment and concerts, as well as car racing.
Although students described the day as a great experience, the overall feeling was that the job of a news reporter is
quite complex and requires a high level of research, problem-solving and communication skills.
We are now in the process of working with Mrs Sztekel to edit our news reports using the industry standard editing
software Premiere.
Many thanks to John Remfry, who accompanied our two Japanese exchange students, Jinsil and Ryo, around their
first car race and to Beth Sztekel for her multimedia expertise.

SAPSASA Softball
Thursday 19th February 2015
Well done to all students who competed in the SAPSASA District Softball Carnival (boys and girls). As one of the two
attending staff members, I was pleased with the effort all students put in.
Both the boys and girls teams adopted The Heights P-12 School Values throughout the day.
All students ‘had a go, we went hard and we kept on going’ through their continued efforts to do their best,
work hard and be persistent.
All students ‘had a fair go’ through acknowledging each other’s strengths, supporting each other when
things were difficult, playing fair and showing fantastic sportsmanship to each other and the towards the
other teams.
All students ‘went together’, supporting each other through the highs and the lows of the day. The
teamwork that was shown between players was excellent to see. I was inspired by the individuals who were
constantly giving encouragement to other players.
The day was an eventful one, particularly as Mrs Rothery took the team to the wrong venue 
But once we arrived and students had their first game under their belt, things went really smoothly, with huge
growth in each students personal development in the game of softball. Many of our students had never played
before, and by the end of the day, they were sneaking runs just like the professional.
A big thank you to Ian Bleakely, Emma Ellbourn and Tara-Lea Mather for assisting with transport to and from the
event. A big imaginary packet of chocolate biscuits to Mr Crafter for being the coach of the boys’ team, and
supporting me with this event. I thoroughly enjoyed coaching the girls’ team; though still need to work on my
knowledge of some of the tricky softball rules and regulations.
The photo on the right shows some of our boys and girls softball
team members: Emilie McPherson, Macx Teague, Tyron Rowston,
Michaela Schmitz, Samar Fenn, Lucas Fenn, Bianca Bleakley, Caleb
Wallis, Harrison Ellbourn, Tyler Willetts, Dominic Jose, Daniel
Mather, Ben Appleton, Sammy Arnold and Sam Mather (team
