Level Awards
A Level 2 Morning Tea was held recently with a Level 1 supper held this week, on Tuesday, 9th April.
These are wonderful occasions that allow us to acknowledge and celebrate students’ broad range of
achievements that are required to receive these awards. Parents and friends enjoy this opportunity
as much as we do and are always impressed by the Year Adviser’s citations. Jo Taylor, as the new
Head Teacher Welfare has done a great deal of work to ensure these events run smoothly. I would
like to congratulate all the recipients and thank Kellie Sedunary and Carissa Furze for their work as
well as Deanna Fletcher, Kathryn Kane and the Hospitality students for providing the magnificent
catering.
Year 9 Laptops
Year 9 received the latest version of the Lenovo laptops recently and they are the best yet with a
large memory and improved speed. The DER program has been a ground breaking Federal
government funded program which has changed the way we teach and students learn. Schools like
ours would never have been able to afford the infrastructure and hardware that went with this
innovative program and we are very thankful for the millions of dollars poured into it over the last 5
years. The saddest part about this is that the current Year 9’s will be the last cohort to receive a
laptop as the program will no longer be funded by the Federal government. This seems both very
short sighted and another example of inequality to me as the next generation of students will be at a
distinct educational disadvantage and thus, there will be far reaching consequences. I would hope
that either the federal or state government sees the worth of this program and decides to continue
funding it. I would especially like to acknowledge the outstanding work of Guilan Thurling Head
Teacher in charge of DER and Andrew McMillan Regional Technology Support Officer, who have
ensured that our students and staff were seen as trailblazers in their utilisation of new technologies.
I hope that everyone enjoys the upcoming holidays and comes back on Wednesday May 1 ready for
another busy and interesting term. As always, please contact me if you have any concerns or issues.
Please note the following important dates regarding holidays:
Friday 12 April – last day of Term 1
Holidays 13 – 30 April. Students are invited to march in the Anzac Day Parade held during the holidays on
Thursday 25 April. They must wear full uniform including Kia jackets.
Term 2 begins for all students on Wednesday 1 May.
Thursday 2 May – JFHS Athletics Carnival
Thursday 9 May – Cross Country

A MESSAGE TO FAMILIES - Deputy Principal Curriculum
At the close of this term, it is timely to reflect on a number of events. I would like to reflect on some
of the highlights of this term:

The Shave for A Cure, which raised over $6500 and was truly a credit to our whole school.

Our Vampire Shield Success, which has been recognised state and nationwide.

The outstanding work of our leadership team at the Northern Spirit Leaders’ Breakfast.

The JFHS Swimming Carnival, which was capably led by our colourful seniors.

Our inductions – Prefect and SRC – which recognised the responsibilities of our leaders.

Our Level 1 and 2 functions (absolutely one of the perks of my job).
I also wish to acknowledge the relatively smooth transition of Year 7 students to our school. This
time is one of stress and turbulence for some, and when there have been issues; students have been
proactive and asked for help. The Year 7 teachers met this term, and reported back that there are
some wonderful classes and some really positive learning going on. I hope that our Year 7 students
are feeling the same way, and it is vital that we at the school get the opportunity to help with
settling in to the high school environment. I also wish to highlight some innovations for this term:

Our Parent Teacher night will be going online. The Schools Online Booking system will be
used for making appointments. The first Parent Teacher night is on May 7th, and with the
online system, parents can book their times in the holidays, at home, on their iPads, on their
phones…I hope that this assists families in taking up the opportunity of teacher interviews.
The SOBS site is easy to find – just google it, and you can load your email details in from
there. Simple!

The Small Schools Visit: The students from Mullengandra and Table Top Public Schools
visited our high school, to get a taste of what high school life would be like. The kindergarten
students dancing with our Rock Eisteddfod team was an absolute pleasure to watch and
they gained a great deal from this visit.

Our Prefect team are meeting regularly and working on a focus plan for their group. This is
ably led by their Year Adviser, Kellie Sedunary, and they are doing a superb job in organising
a legacy for the school.

Our Personalised Learning Plans for Aboriginal students have been improved, and a better
structure has been arrived at for ensuring that those meetings for our students occur. Jenny
Brown and Anni Gifford have been pivotal in this process.

A transition team has been formed, which comprises of teachers who have skills and
strengths in supporting our students in their exit plans from school. This group currently
supports over 120 students with specific needs in helping them reach their post school goals.
There is always an attitude of improvement in our school. This is my sixth year at James Fallon, and I
still feel like I did when I first arrived. I thought it was the honeymoon phase, enjoying my job so
much, but this was not the case. It is just how this school is – it is a very positive environment for me
and for many others.

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL CURRICULUM
A message from the Deputy Principal Administration
A huge thank you to everyone; staff, students and families, for such a fantastic start to the year.
As usual the big issues from the Deputy’s desk are uniform and attendance. So a reminder that next
term we get into our winter uniforms and we need to make sure that over the holidays we do a ‘try
on’ to ensure everything still fits.
Uniform is a very important part of our school in that it gives us a sense of identity and belonging.
We encourage our students to wear it with pride.
Winter uniform is navy long pants or skirt, white shirts and maroon jumpers or Kea jackets for the
juniors and navy pants, senior girls skirt, blue shirt and navy jumper or Kea jacket for the seniors.
Please note that hoodies, no matter what the colour, are not acceptable school uniform.
Attendance at school is crucial to a successful education for all our students. Being on time and
having a regular attendance pattern reflect good organisation and a positive attitude to school. We
recognise that there are times when a student will be late or unable to attend. For that reason we
have a system in place to allow for this.
If your child is late to school we ask that a note accompany them to explain this lateness. The same
is requested if your child needs to miss any whole or part days of school.
I would like to wish everyone a great holiday and I am looking forward to seeing happy and
refreshed faces back next term.

Cars - Dropping off and picking up your child at JFHS
A very important reminder to all parents who drive their children to James Fallon High or pick them
up after school.
We have established separate entrances for all pedestrians, and this especially applies to students to
ensure their safety arriving and leaving school each day. Unfortunately some parents are putting
their own children at risk by dropping them off in car movement areas.
The main carpark and driveways are used each morning and afternoon by delivery and service
vehicles, special taxis transporting our special needs students, school visitors, disabled students,
cyclists and staff vehicles. Stopping a car and picking up or dropping a child off in the school
driveway or carpark areas is very dangerous for the child during school opening and closing times,
and may also cause a car accident for which your car insurance may not cover you.
We have requested many times that children are not dropped off or picked up in the car park or on
driveways at the start or end of school. Once again we request, for the safety of our students and
your own children, all parents to use the parking and crossing areas in Fallon and Glenly Streets and
not to enter the school carpark/driveways to drop off or pick up students unless there are special
health circumstances requiring this.
Thank you for supporting student safety in our school. Please direct any special requests to our
Principal.
Anzac Day ceremony
On Thursday morning, 11th April the school conducted its Anzac service in the hall.
The centrepiece of the service this year was a video created by three students, Tuyet Phan, Tahlia
Paterson and Ayesha Harris-Westman, all now in Year 10.
Working with the guidance of Mr Skillington over several weeks in 2012, the three girls produced a
video. It is the girls’ conception and representation of the significance of Anzac Day.
Dear Carrie, Love Rupert involved historical research into music, clothing, names and conversational
English of the time. It is set in 1915 and shows Carrie seated at home in Australia, silently reading a
letter by lamplight from her sweetheart Rupert who is at Gallipoli fighting with the Australian
Imperial Force. Carrie is played by Ayesha who sits in a darkened classroom in period dress.
The letter was researched and written by Tuyet, Tahlia and Ayesha. Tahlia and Tuyet also researched
archival footage, sound effects and stills to enhance the narrative.
Rupert’s letter, originally voiced by Robert Anderson but due to technical issues, re-voiced by Mr
Skillington, is read as the five different camera angles that have been stripped together in the editing
process, move us around the seated Ayesha.
The video is 8 and half minutes long and took around 14 hours to make, from conception to the final
cut.
Dear Carrie, Love Rupert was a very worthy and powerful centre around which the school’s 2013
Anzac service revolved.
Dear Carrie, Love Rupert plays to students in the hall on Thursday, 11th April

Zone Swimming Carnival 2013
On Wednesday February 20th Mr Finn and I were lucky enough to attend the Zone Swimming
Carnival at the North Albury Swim Centre.
Our team of nearly 50 swimmers proudly represented James Fallon High School with many students
swimming in virtually every event they were able to. Those that attended behaved beautifully and
swam their hearts out all day. As a result of their efforts we managed to finish third out of the 5
schools at the carnival with only a small margin separating us and second place getters Murray High
School. This is a fantastic result.
On top of this there were some remarkable individual performances with one of the highlights being
Jai Smith named Age Champion for the 14 years boys. All swimmers who finished either first or
second in their event will now progress to the Riverina Carnival in Leeton on March 11th.

Youth Ambassador Training Day – the Blood Service
On Thursday, the 21st of March, Montana Dacey, Tori Stevenson, Jess Madew, Mrs Elder
and I attended the 2013 Youth Ambassador Training Day held at the Commercial Club in
Albury. Albury High, Murray High, Tallangatta Secondary College, Rutherglen High,
Myrtleford High, Bright High School and James Fallon made up the seven schools present.
The idea of the day was to become more aware about the Blood Service, how it operates,
what it does and how the products are used, stored and distributed.
Through the day we had two guest speakers, Glen Jarvis and Imogen Wallace. Glen spoke
about a motorbike accident he sustained at the age of 17 when he was on a trip from his
home in Wodonga to Northern Queensland. During this he lost 3 litres of blood, which is a
lot considering the human body only holds around 5 litres. Glen now has a prosthetic leg,
and as he progresses, is finding that he can do a lot of things that he didn’t think he could.
Since the accident Glen has learnt a lot about the blood donation process, as well as the
products from it, and has been Australia's fastest one legged cyclist for 11 years.
Next was Imogen Wallace, a 17 year old girl from Tallangatta Secondary College. She spoke
about her own cancer experience, and the role of blood throughout all it. At the age of 13
she was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer in her leg, and received treatment in
Melbourne. Imogen spoke about her treatment and recovery, as well as how important
blood transfusions were to her; in total she received around 36 transfusions. Both speakers
spoke about the importance of making the best of your life and how their individual health
problems have made them so grateful and appreciate their lives so much more.
The later part of the day consisted of group discussion and a brainstorming activity where
we had to split up into groups made of kids from different schools, and answer several
questions related to blood donating and then present it to the whole group. As a whole the
day was great, and it’s great to be part of such a great organisation.

There will be blood…Vampire Shield Update
With first term over we are a quarter of the way into the 2013 blood donation competition that will
finish in November.
As pictured below, Cathy Chapman recently attended our assembly and presented two of our Youth
Ambassadors with the two trophies won by the wonderful James Fallon Donors last year. We again
won the award for the highest number of donors and also convincingly won the award for the
highest percentage of donors based on the total school population. Cathy commented on the fact
that at a State level our school ranks one of the highest in this category, a fact of which we should be
very proud.
As the 2013 blood donation year lengthens, so too do a new bank of donors make their mark. We
have already seen the first donations from our Year 10 cohort so thank you to Bree Poke and Ben
Walther.
As new Youth Ambassadors are about to be selected I would like to thank Genna Miles, Tiarna
Spiteri, Georgia Hallows and Georgie Pearson for their great work over the last twelve months.

Hammering the Nail
On Friday, 5th April our Year 9 cohort ‘nailed Nail Can Hill’!!!!!!
We started about 10 a.m. with everyone ready and raring to go, then the hike began.
Hill number one was a killer with everyone challenged and puffing – the good news is
everyone made it! The remaining 9 kilometre walk was easier as the track got flatter but
about 7 kilometres into the hike, the downhill section greeted us and we had people
tripping and stumbling as they laughed along the track. After another kilometre, we had two
hills until the monument and we all smashed that out without a worry.
At the monument we had lunch, a relaxing sit-together and a lovely group photo with Dean
Street way down below us. After our break we started on the last leg down to the Albury
pool. It was a calm and easy downhill stroll to the pool where we revived ourselves with a
cool swim and a slippery rush down the water slide. What a fun way to finish our ‘Outdoor
Recreation’ unit as part of the PDHPE curriculum.
On behalf of year 9 I would like to thank Mr Stead, Mr Eckley, Mr Grace-Wenzel and Laura
Skow for supervising and encouraging us to ‘Nail the Hill’.
P.S.- year 8 – you should start training for it now 

Table tennis 2013
On Tuesday, April 9th the James Fallon High School table tennis team competed in an eastern
Riverina knockout competition. Schools came from the local area as well as Batlow and Wagga.
Our team was comprised of the more experienced dynamic duo, Hayden Scott (Yr 11) and D’lana
Benton (Yr 7), the capable Lachlan Dacey (Yr 9) and newcomer Rhian Sklenar (Yr 11).
Our team played three matches, one against each of the Murray High School teams. Our players
worked hard all day and played with grit and determination but were unable to match the greater
experience of their opposition. Our final match against Murray 3 was a nail biter coming down to the
final match where unfortunately they just snuck past us.
The grand final was played between Albury and Murray High Schools with the eventual winner being
Murray High School. They now progress to the CHS championships to be held in Sydney in June.
I would like to commend our players for their good sportsmanship, their behaviour and the clear
commitment they made to the team.

NRL Thunder Cup 2013
Four weeks, twelve games, 480 minutes of game time and 58 players…
These are a few of the stats that represent the level of commitment that our fantastic and skilful
rugby league and league tag players dedicated to the sport they love in order to be a part of our
local interschool Thunder Cup competition.
The boys’ junior team were trained by Mr Mark Daly, the senior boys by Mr Geoff Wilson, the junior
girls by Mrs Carissa Furze and the senior girls by Miss Billie Ciappara - training before school, at
lunchtimes and after school. Well after the 3.30pm bell had rung and when most students were at
home eating dinner and relaxing, these students were on the field – running, darting, hitting up the
opposition and backing up their team mates – challenging their personal best efforts and putting
their bodies on the line to represent themselves and their school…James Fallon High School.
All students should be proud of their efforts as in each and every game we were competitive, our
teamwork was exceptional and we had the drive to win…and in my eyes we were winners on all
levels and I am proud of every student listed below. It is a huge organisational effort to ensure all
students are able to participate in this competition each year, week in and week out, but after
watching every game and seeing the enjoyment upon our kids’ faces, seeing them challenge their
skills and achieve feats previously unable to be reached, it makes it all worthwhile.
This year when the finals swung around we were once again named in the top two teams in the
Junior girls league tag and Senior boys rugby league side…both teams coming up against Albury High.
The girl’s game was a fast paced contest with an even level of competition in the first half – lots of
diving tags, sliding defence and breaks through the line. The second half resulted in some extremely
evasive attack by Albury High, allowing them to dart around our defence and cross the line a number
of times, putting us of the back foot with five minutes to go. Our girls kept their fighting spirit alive
and continued to challenge the opposition’s line, using some deceptive ball work to draw their
player to create gaps, however the siren beat us to our destination and the final score for the game
was Albury High 28 - James Fallon 8 (our tries scored by Rachael Burton and Molly Daly).
The anticipation of the senior boys game – James Fallon Vs. Albury – lived up to the hype. What a
fantastic game it was!!! All players stepped up to join together and throw their last efforts into the
competition, for some the last opportunity they will get to play schoolboys rugby. This was the most
enthralling game in this year’s competition rounds. Our boys took it to Albury High…with fast
footwork, cover up tackles, hard hitting defence and a well drilled attack. With ten minutes of the
game remaining the score was 0-0, five minutes remaining saw Albury High cross the line with
conversion 6-0, within the last minute Dylan Hartin crossed the line but unfortunately we were
unable to convert to force the game into extra-time. All boys, although disappointed on the siren,
should feel extremely proud of their team and individual efforts over the course of the competition
as they displayed honourable traits of fairness, honesty and respect for the game and their
opposition.
Congratulations to all players from all grades that represented James Fallon this year and a big thank
you to our support crew consisting of many James Fallon students and staff (Miss Ciappara, Mr
Stead, Mr Eckley, Mr Donnelly, Mrs Lockley, Mrs Elder, Mrs Sedunary, Miss Williams, Mrs Alvey, Mr
Duffy, Mr H Taylor, Mr Kirkwood and Mrs Thurling) as well as our parents Mr Mark Daly and Mr
Geoff Wilson who donate their time to coach our boys sides. Without you all we would not have
such a smooth running competition…and without the awesome students listed below, there would
be no teams to compete – well done!

Ls – Got them? Gearing up to get them?
It’s a fairly well known fact that young people are seriously over-represented in road safety statistics.
But a much lesser known fact is that Learner drivers are actually the safest drivers on the road. It’s
only when a novice driver ‘goes solo’ that their crash-risk sky rockets ... so much so that they are 2030 times more likely to be involved in a fatal or serious crash in the first 6 months on their Ps.
To tackle this issue, keys2drive, the single largest national Learner driver safety program ever
undertaken in Australia has commenced. keys2drive will see 200,000 lessons provided by specially
trained, keys2drive accredited driving instructors for FREE.
Developed by Australia’s motoring clubs and funded by the Federal Government, a keys2drive lesson
brings together a professional driving instructor with the Learner and their supervising driver – most
often mum or dad. In doing so, everyone benefits from a better understanding of how to work
towards making sure the Learner driver becomes a safer P plate driver.
If you already have your Ls or are planning to get them in the next 12 months, or if you are or will be
supervising a Learner driver, you can find out more information and register for a FREE keys2drive
lesson at www.keys2drive.com.au
Albury Wodonga Sustainability Fair
The JFHS Eco Club took to the streets for the Albury Wodonga Sustainability Fair in QEII square on
Saturday the 16th March 2013. Courtney McKenna, Paris Rawaqa, Ellen Paterson, Alana Cameron,
Lindsay Walther and Tahlia Paterson all gave up their time to spread the recycling message!
The students, along with Ben Walther and Czarlene Villanueva, prepared for the event by sewing
draft stoppers, collecting plastic bottles and spending a lunch time with ecologist Jill Dawson from
“Our Native Garden” nursery.
Their aim was to show how plastic drink bottles could be recycled; using them to replant seedlings
and by making Easter egg baskets for children. The baskets were particularly popular with the
younger children on the day!
These students should be proud of the way they gave up their time to support a community
initiative and to help create positive change.
