MR JIM LAUSSEN, Principal
jim.laussen@overnewton.vic.edu.au
This week, we say farewell to our Year 12 students as they conclude formal classes and commence their final preparation for
their exams. It is a time of mixed emotions for staff as we share in the excitement of watching young men and women ready
to move onto the next stage of their lives whilst being sorry that we will not enjoy seeing them every day on that part of their
journey.
When this group started at the College in 2001, there were 150 Preps. 89 of those Preps graduate from Overnewton this
week. This means that just over half of the Class of 2013 have been with us for the entirety of their schooling. Whilst that
group of students should not be seen to be more important than the rest of their peers, it is a significant statistic for any
school and one of which we can be immensely proud.
Over the 13 years, the families of these students have each contributed a minimum of 886 hours of service. This equates to
23.6 weeks of full time work. Again, this is an amazing statistic and one that truly shows how incredible the support each
Overnewton student has received from their parents in their time at the College. There is no other school in the country
where parents have given so much time to support their child‟s education and it continues to be such a privilege to work in a
community that has such a strong ethic as this.
We say farewell to 97 families whose last child graduates from the College this year and I must thank those families for their
contribution that has contributed to making Overnewton the College that it is today.
We can be very proud of the achievements of this group of Year 12 students and for the manner in which they have carried
themselves as their time with us has drawn to its conclusion. We look forward to welcoming them into the Old Collegians
Association so that their connection to the College continues well beyond this year.
I am sure that I speak on behalf of the entire community in wishing the Class of 2013 a successful coming few weeks of
examinations and a meaningful and happy life in the next stage of their lives.

WHAT ARE THE SKILLS NEEDED BY STUDENTS FOR LIFE?
During the term break, I attended the annual conference of the Australian Council for Educational Leaders in Canberra,
which had the theme of “The Future is Now”. One of the presentations was by the Canadian designer, entrepreneur and
author, Lee Crockett, on the topic “What are the skills needed by students for life?”.
In his presentation, Lee Crockett listed the following as being some of the necessary skills for life:




Global Digital Citizenship: showing online responsibility
Solution fluency: being able to follow a process of problem solving.
Media fluency: being able to absorb and make effective use of information
General citizenship: including being responsible, providing altruistic service to the community and showing
environmental stewardship.
The first skill, Global Digital Citizenship, is significantly linked to part of the address by our Principal, Jim Laussen, at
Presentation Night this week.
We live in a country of over 22 million people, of which 18% are under 15 years of age, in which there are more mobile
phones than people and 56% of students use social media to collaborate about homework. All of this is in a world in which
90% of global online information was created in the last two years.
Lee Crockett discussed at some length the need for students to be responsible for their own digital footprint and behaviour
in the online environment. This included the concept of a Digital Citizenship Agreements for schools, the need for online
respect and protection for students, others in the community and for intellectual property. In relation to intellectual
property, there is no difference between the traditional and the online world. Piracy of music, movies or photos is stealing
and Lee suggested use of sites such as Creative Commons, where permission is provided for photo sharing.
At Overnewton, an agreement exists in the form of our policy for the Responsible Use of ICT devices. We also know that
when it comes to some aspects of technology, students are often more knowledgeable than older generations and a Digital
Dialogues Committee has been working on a program in which students use their expertise to educate teachers and parents.
The result is an interactive evening consisting of a hypothetical, role-plays and an online quiz which will take place soon.
This evening provides one vehicle for students to demonstrate their digital citizenship and help another generation
understand the real benefits of social media and resources when used well.
In Mr Laussen‟s address this week, he made the strong point about the need for students to self manage their digital
responsibilities, problem solve issues and generally show the iRespect that is the College‟s theme for 2013.

MR LAUSSEN MEETS WITH YEAR 4
In the last week of Term 3 Mr Laussen came to speak to the Year 4 students about decision
making at Overnewton as part of their Inquiry Unit, Societies have different structures for making
decisions.
The students listened attentively as Mr Laussen explained the various structures we have at
Overnewton for decision making. Mr Laussen discussed day to day and long term decision
making: at class, school, campus and College levels. Highlighting that not all decisions are
made by him or the board and making the point that in fact, the students themselves make
numerous decisions all the time.
Images have been removed
to meet privacy needs
The students were intrigued to learn about the various decision making processes at
Overnewton. They prepared many questions and enjoyed the opportunity to ask these
personally and to hear Mr Laussen‟s responses.
UNITS OF INQUIRY
The final units of Inquiry for 2013 see all students investigate an inquiry into the ways in which we:
 discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values;
 reflect on, extend and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic.
Below are each year levels central idea, you will notice that the central idea is developed as the students progress through Junior School.
Prep
In a community people have roles and responsibilities
Year 1
Systems in the community keep people safe
Year 2
Celebrations and traditions are expressions of shared beliefs and values. Employment exists to enable society to function.
Year 3
There are many systems involved in the production, supply and distribution of food.
Year 4
A person’s behaviour and how they choose to present themselves project aspects of their identity
TERM 4 CAMPS
Students in Years 2, 3 and 4 are all abuzz as they begin to talk about cabin buddies and activities for their upcoming camps in Term 4.
These camps offer opportunities for growth and development for the students. A wide range of activities offer a sense of adventure and
team building, providing opportunities to develop leadership, initiative and problem solving skills as well as many essential personal and
interpersonal skills. The camping experience also reinforces the five “You Can Do It!’’ keys of: Getting Along, Confidence, Resilience,
Persistence and Organisation.

Year 2 will head off to Mt. Evelyn Recreation Camp for two days/ one night while Year 3 will go to Lancefield Weekaway for three
days/ two nights and Year 4 will head to Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza for three days/ two nights. All of these venues meet the strict
requirements and OH&S regulations that Overnewton demands for its students.
Parents often worry about what their children will eat whilst on camp. All of these venues provide a very generous nutritious menu
which includes a variety of foods, whilst ensuring strict adherence to specific food allergy regulations. Students are only required to bring
food for snack and lunch on the first day and are not permitted to bring lollies or food for midnight snacks or extra food in case they get
hungry. There is always plenty of food for all children and nobody is ever hungry. There have been many instances where a new food is
attempted and actually enjoyed!
Camps are an amazing experience for our students. They will arrive back exhausted, full of stories of adventure, fun times, a sense of
achievement and we mustn‟t forget the bag of dirty washing!

JUNIOR SCHOOL-KEILOR CAMPUS, HOUSE PROGRAM
Our final House event for the year will be held on Wednesday 20th November from the beginning of the day until lunchtime using all

earn House points from the activities and the House Trophy for Term 4 will be presented at the conclusion of the event. Regular break
times will remain for recess and lunch. Students will complete the activities in their House groups and parents are welcome to attend.
Students will all wear sports uniform including a hat and bring a full drink bottle, which they will carry with them to each event. As per

YEAR 1 AND 2 SWIMMING
There was great excitement among Year 1 and 2 students on Tuesday as they boarded the bus for their
first swimming lesson. They were eagerly anticipating the splash and smell of the pool.
The Junior School Swimming program is a compulsory part of Overnewton curriculum. The students attend a nine day
intensive swimming program at ‘Flippers Swim School’. Professional swimming instructors provided by Flippers teach
small groups of our students at similar skill levels. Students who are not swimming must have a medical certificate prior to
the day. The swimming program is a formal part of our curriculum and all students are expected to participate unless there
is a medical reason.
No doubt there will be some sore and tired students
during the swimming program as they utilise muscles to
jump, float, glide, dive and move around in the water.
Swimming is a fun but valuable learning experience for
students in the Junior School.
PREP INQUIRY
As part of their inquiry into roles and responsibilities of people in a community Prep students participated in an
excursion to Keilor Village. Students visited a hairdresser, butcher, greengrocer and baker to investigate what
jobs they do and the special equipment and materials they use in their day to day work. Students had lunch in the
park and happily explored the playground before returning to school.
"I loved it when we went to the park and had our Bakers Delight finger bun" Valentina Prep MA
"The dough was so sticky" Jessica Prep ME
"We saw a pig's legs hanging up in the butcher shop" Jerard Prep PT
Mrs Fielder was invited along to the Prep centre to discuss
with the students her roles and responsibilities as Head of
the Junior School. Students heard Mrs Fielder talk about
the ways she looks after students by helping them remain
happy and safe and continue to learn. Prep students asked
some quality questions to find out more information about
the work that Mrs Fielder does. We look forward to Mrs
Fielder visiting the Prep classrooms to read stories and talk about her favourite books to read.
YEAR 2D VEGETABLE GARDEN
2D have been busy harvesting their crops which have grown rampantly over the past few months following lots of tender loving care.
The vegetables were planted to deepen understandings of „Living things grow, change and have offspring similar to themselves‟
following an inquiry into this central idea. The Year 2s continued to use this inquiry focus by playing the role of vender to sell the
wonderful produce which assisted the students to see why „Employment exists to enable society to function.‟ Students have also been
working cross- curricular using their numerical money calculating skills to work out costs and change for purchases. 2D raised a
fantastic total of $66.65 which will be donated to Chibobo. They would like to thank all of their supporters throughout the experience,
especially those who kindly donated plants, seedlings and Mr Desira for watering over the holidays and of course, the purchasers. The
leftover vegetables will be used to make soup. Yum! Well done Year 2D.

SPORT RESULTS YEARS 5-9
YEAR 5/6 SPORT
The first three weeks of Term 4 for the Year 5 students at both campuses will be devoted to the preparation of the teams for the
upcoming interschool sporting program. The sports the students will be trailing in during this period are newcombe (version of
volleyball whereby you can catch the ball), t-ball (something like softball but with no pitcher), basketball, European Handball and a new
sport of speedball (a mixture of soccer and football). The students from the Taylors Lakes Campus were able to try speedball out on
the last day of last term and from all reports enjoyed it immensely. The staff in charge said it was more soccer than football and they
didn‟t apply all of the scoring options associated with the sport but the students gave it a good try and at least the staff members taking
this sport have had a little practice also. The Year 6 students will be engaged in minor games during this time but as from Week 4 they
will turn their attention to the preparation of the 2014 ACS teams. This program is in its third year and we have found it a very valuable
process as it gives us time to fully prepare our teams for the following year. The Year 7 results have shown a significant improvement
since the implementation of this program.
YEAR 7
This round saw the recommencement of the summer season of ACS sport and it was a great come back from the boys‟ softball team
after a disappointing start and trailing 12 runs – 4 that was one of the many highlights of the round. The boys did not lose their heads
and improved their fielding and batting to overhaul the deficit. The third innings marked their comeback with 10 runs batted adding to
their total of four from the previous two innings and in turn getting Thomas Carr all out without adding to their score. Hopefully in
future games they will start off stronger but these were very encouraging signs for the remainder of the season. The girls too had a good
win with some excellent pitching from Bonnie Holman and Dana Curcic displaying great batting skills. Aleesha Samuel, Lauren Puches,
Chelsea Marchment and Georgia Lethlean all put in great efforts also.
Great serving from Katrina Bajraszewski and Georgia Cooper enabled the volleyball A team to dominant the match. Jeanne Li
demonstrated improvement in her match play and the team was much improved. Jacinth Kunapo and Molly Mc Crudden were named
best on court from the girls‟ volleyball A match.
It was a great win by the boys‟ cricket team this round by 41 runs. The highlight of the win was not their skill with the bat or the ball
but their encouragement of each other throughout the game and their organisational ability that enabled the team to focus on the job at
hand. Best with the bat were Jye Craggill (31 runs) and Alex Bentley (22 runs) and with the ball Jeremy Binu Varkey 1/3 off four overs.
Page 8
The boys from the hockey team had a good win this week with Joshua Velardo and John Santi controlling the middle area. Jake
Kutlesovski and Alex Tran had a lot of pace up front and were instrumental in setting up the win. Best on ground were Joshua Velardo,
Alex Tran and Lachlan Platt.
To cap off a very good round for the Year 7 teams the girls from the soccer squad were able to bring home a six goal win. Matiese Viti
scored four of the goals and was named one of the best players of the match. Other key players to the win were Mallory Vandeloo and
Keeley Di Martino who both scored a goal a piece and were instrumental in many of the team‟s attacks.
Winners: Boys‟ softball (14 runs -12); girls‟ volleyball A (3 sets – 1); girls‟ volleyball B (4 sets – 0); girls‟ softball (14 runs – 2); girls‟
soccer (6 goals – 0); boys‟ table tennis (9 sets – 7); girls‟ tennis (11 sets – 1); boys‟ hockey (3 goals – 0)
YEAR 8
One win and one loss marked the resumption of the summer season for the girls‟ volleyball teams. The A team scored a convincing 4
sets – 0 victory while the B team went down 2 sets – 3 in a heartbreaking fifth set loss that gave Thomas Carr the win. April Ashcroft
displayed consistent serving and demonstrated excellent team work skills from the A team. It was an entire team effort by the girls
from the B team highlighted by by some fantastic serving just to miss out on the win.
Jordan Tomkinson had his first game as captain of the softball team this round and did a superb job especially leading the way with his
batting and pitching skills. James Konjarski played the role as catcher extremely well; however, the team was a little rusty in the field
allowing several runs to be scored by the opposition. Generally there are good signs at this stage of the competition.
The girls from the soccer team had a good first up win this round against a tough opponent in Thomas Carr. Rebecca Wrout led the
way scoring three goals while Madison Krstevski scored another two and was named best on ground. Georgia Sneddon made it an even
half dozen with one goal.
Mehtaab Singh scored a game high 40 runs not out (retired) in the boys‟ cricket match this week. Daniel Guisti kept the scoring ticking
over with another 19 runs along with Dillon Hewa who also scored 19. It was disappointing that too many wides and no balls were
bowled which just added scores to the opposition. Improvement in this aspect of the game is necessary to complement their batting
skills and then hopefully they can achieve the win.
Key Players from the girls‟ tennis match were Olivia Panayiotidis, Emily Papageorge Courtney Stokes, Keilani Evans and Julia Esposito.
Highlights from the games were the pairings of Megan Henderson / Greta Egan and Megan Mc Dermott / Julia Genis who each won
their first set in doubles for the year. It‟s great that our developing players have been continuing to learn and improve their tennis during
the mid-season break.
The score from the boys‟ hockey match did not reflect the quality of the game and the effort made by the Overnewton side. It was a
matter of the opposition shots at goal being accurate while unfortunately, the Overnewton team missed theirs. The players tired in the
second half due to the lack of bench time; however, they did not give up. Ben Serrano scored the team‟s only goal with best on ground
going to Andrew Metz, Rixon Wong and Andre Martinovici for their tireless effort on the pitch.
One win and one loss were the results from the basketball matches at this level. The boys from the A team continued their undefeated
season with a great win over Thomas Carr who were never beaten in the ACS competition in 2013. It was the lead established at the
start of the game by James Savvidis who scored 10 of his 12 points in the 1 st half of the game. Richard Leenaars dominated in the
second half with 16 points. The B team was not on their game this round and struggled throughout the match and suffered their first
loss of the season. Two points were each scored by Evander Korras, Daniel Arceri and Callum Stephens.
Winners: Girls‟ volleyball A (4 sets – 0); boys‟ softball (20 runs – 9); girls‟ soccer (6 goals – 1); girls‟ tennis (11 sets – 1); boys‟ basketball
A (47 pts – 36); boys‟ table tennis (15 sets – 1)
YEAR 9
The weather for the first round of the recommencement of the summer season was typical of a winter encounter rather than a summer
one with two of the sports, cricket and tennis, both declared a draw due to the inclement weather and the unsuitability of the playing
surface. All other matches were played and the results for most of them were very encouraging and kept teams high on the ladders.
Leading the way is the girls‟ softball team who were unbeaten at the break and they have continued to show their brilliance at this stage
of the season to keep a solid hold on the top of the ladder. Charlotte Lake and Steliani Constas were a great pitching and catching
combination that kept the Tomas Carr team on the back foot for most of the game. Megan Lam took two great catches in the field and
as the team was very strong, the umpires had to employ the mercy rule as the score blew out to a 15 run deficit. The boys‟ softball team
played out an 8 run draw with a homerun and magnificent catch from James Koroneos one of the highlights from this match. Sam
Tenni was great as the team‟s catcher and the entire team put in a strong effort to force the draw.
It was an easy encounter for the girls‟ soccer team, this round; however, it gave them good practice for the tougher matches coming up
later in the term. Goal scorers from this match were Minne Hudaverdi who scored three of the team‟s six goals, Emily Stipic (2 goals)
and Sally Tan was able to score a goal while in turn, the team did not allow any opposition goals.
The boys from the hockey team did an outstanding job this round applying the necessary pressure in attack to achieve many scoring
opportunities. The final scores did not reflect the dominance of the team all over the field throughout the course of the match. The
Page 9
only area of improvement would be making the most of every scoring option that is created from the excellent play. Christopher
Dawoud, Frank Cimone and Thomas Markey were named best on ground in this match.
Both basketball teams brought home a win this round to keep their positions high on the ladder. It was a slow start for the A team, only
leading by 2 points at the half time break. It was a much better start in the second half to keep the lead and extend it by 12 points by
the final siren. Norman Dimitrijevic was the best on court scoring a game high 20 points. Other point scorers from this match were
Andrew Bellinger (12 pts) and Harrison Bult (5 pts). The B team had a win by 4 points which secures their place as the team to beat in
this competition. The game was dominated by Timothy Jordan as he scored 11 of the team‟s 14 points of the game.
Highlights from other games:

A six set win by the boys‟ from the table tennis team who sit in the number one position
Winners: Boys‟ basketball A (43 pts – 29); boys‟ basketball B (19 pts – 10); boys‟ cricket (draw); boys‟ hockey (2 goals – 0); boys‟ softball
(8 runs – 8 draw); girls‟ soccer (6 goals – 0); girls‟ softball (21 runs – 6); boys‟ table tennis (11 matches – 5); girls‟ tennis (draw)
All players and parents are reminded that if they are still in possession of a uniform that was issued to them at the beginning of the
winter season they are to be returned. Invoices will be issued shortly to those families that still have not returned uniforms to the Sport
department. Players within the teams of basketball, soccer and hockey of the current season are reminded that you will need to return
your uniforms at the end of your last match.

Overnewton Team 1 had a good start to the summer season with
a win over the Salvo Saints Team 2. Nice teamwork displayed,
well done boys.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 1: 14, Salvo Saints: 10
A great start to the new season. The boys put in a solid team
effort with every player contributing.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 2: 28, Avondale Raiders: 16
It was a difficult game with three new players on the team. Salvo
Saints started strongly and went on to win. Result was our boys
lost 8:16. We look forward to the next game.
What a fantastic start to the season! The boys played so well as a
team considering it was their first time playing together. The
OACC boys held up well to the good defence skills of Salvo
Saints with great passing and fast running.
UNDER 12 GIRLS (Overnewton 1)
What a fantastic start girls (Maya, Karissa, Emma, Tess, Olivia,
Madi and Bella) for the new season. Keep up the great passing.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 1: 22, Avondale Raiders 1: 4
The girls had a great start to the season. Their teamwork paid off
with a convincing win. An especially great result for new coach
Campbell. Well done all.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 2: 38, Aberfeldie Jets 6: 2
We welcome Chloe, Kayla and Tara to the team; we hope you
enjoy learning and playing basketball. After a brilliant effort for
the first game of the season, the girls fought hard and came really
close to a win.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 3: 15, Avondale Raiders 2: 18
Great start to the season, with a new team and new coach, our
boys played a superb game, even though a few late goals from the
opposing team closed the gap and made for a few tense moments,
it was our excellent teamwork that bought it home. Well done
boys.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 1: 14, St Peter‟s 2: 12
With a new team member this season the girls were off to a great
start with a win. Everyone in the team managed to score some
goals. Looking forward to a great season in U14‟s.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 2: 42, C.S. Blue Devils: 4
It was a tough opening season game, as it was the first time the
boys have played in the U16‟s. With only five players, they all had
to work hard. Credit to the boys for putting in a great effort right
to the very end and never giving up.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 1: 19, St Christopher‟s 2: 31
This week‟s game was the beginning of the summer season for
Overnewton 2. We have two new players joining the team –
Hamish Lynn and Bailey Hunt. The boys played well together for
their first game, struggling a little until half time. But then, they
pulled out all stops to bring home our first win for the season.
Every boy scored this week, well done!!
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 2: 35, Avondale Raiders: 15
Great start to the season with a win for the team. In the first half
of the game the boys played very well and were ahead by eight
points and during the second half the other season started to
catch up and scored a few goals bringing them too close for
comfort. With all the parents on the edge of their seats watching
the clock ticking with seconds to go, all with anticipation if their
team could score another goal.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 3: 18, Taylors Lakes 9: 16
The girls were on fire this week, winning their first game in the
U16‟s. Welcome to „Grace‟ the newest member of our team. We
hope the girls keep up their good work in their new division.
Final scores: Overnewton Fire 1: 29, Salvo Saints 1: 18

folder is kept at the front office at each campus to record your hours.
Recording Hours
A reminder to parents that it is your responsibility to record your own hours for classroom assistance and excursions in the folder at the
front office labelled Classroom Assistance. Please ensure you write legibly and include details of your child, including the surname if

As part of the annual Country Fair, we will again be organising a Vehicle Exhibition
which will consist of a variety of different exhibits.
Such as...
 Boats
 Motor Bikes
 Race Cars
 Muscle Cars
Date: Saturday 9th November, 2013 (weather permitting)
 Modified Cars
Time: 10am - 2pm
 Concourse Vehicles
Response to last year's vehicle exhibition was excellent, therefore it is happening again. We are now asking for
interested persons to contact us. Members of the College Community have until Friday 18th October 2013 to prebook a spot . Any remaining spots will be allocated to persons outside the school community.
Cost to enter vehicle, $10 (non-refundable);
Please contact me for entry forms. Payment will be taken at gate entry.
The objective of this exhibition is for people to share and talk to others about their
passion for their vehicles. We expect this to create a lot of interest and it has the
potential to contribute positively towards the Fair in future years.
