Suzanne Cory High School Newsletter

From the Principal
Welcome back to all families after
the Term 1 break. The start to term 2
has been marked at assemblies with
recognition of Anzac Day. This is even
more significant for our school this
year as two Year 11 students, Luke
MGnnix and Caroline Alchin returned
from their Kokoda journey at the
start of the term. Luke and Caroline
have prepared an article for this
newsletter regarding their trip. We are very proud of their
commitment to their training, fundraising and effort on
the trek. Luke and Caroline will share their experiences
with students at our next assemblies on the 12th May.
It was encouraging to see so many parents and
students attending parent-teacher-student interviews. I
welcomed the opportunity to meet parents and share in
your children’s achievements. These interviews provide
teachers, parents and students with the occasion to have
conversations regarding student progress and how we
can all work together to help students succeed in school.
Parents can always contact Home Group teachers and Year
Level Wellbeing Leaders regarding their child’s learning
program or wellbeing. Formal written reports will be sent
to all parents at the end of Term 2. If there has been any
change in address or contact details please notify the
school via the link on the website or call the General Office.
We had a very large contingent of 150 students represent
the school at the Relay For Life over the Anzac Day
weekend. Relay For Life is an overnight event that is
an opportunity for the community to celebrate cancer
survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight
back against this disease. Our students raised $3500 for
the Cancer Council and are to be commended for their
dedication to this event. Thank you to all of the students
involved and the parents and teachers for supporting
this student led event. Special thanks to Mr Jason Portelli
who organised the team, supervision and stayed for the
duration of the relay.
Student Performances
Thank you to the students who performed at the 2015
Parent Information evening on April 29th. It was very
pleasing to see students engaged in performing for an
audience with such skill and passion. The Instrumental
Music program is growing every year and provides
students with the opportunity to perform individually,
and as part of ensembles and orchestra at assemblies
and school events. Thanks to Ms Pam Scott and Ms Karen
Morris, Instrumental Music teachers and Mr Jason Portelli,
Head of Art, Design and Technology for their work on
these performances.
Inter School Sport
This term has already been very busy for our Sports
teams with high participation and success across a
range of sports. Congratulations to all students for your
enthusiasm and willingness to represent the school as
part of the co-curricular program.
Students supporting our community
One of our school values is contribution. I would like to
acknowledge the efforts of our students. Alice Borde
and Kim Do in Year 10 for their commitment to Redkite.
Redkite is a cancer charity which supports children and
young people with cancer, and their families. Redkite’s
essential support programs include financial support,
education and career assistance, information support
and counselling.
Alice and Kim set a target of raising $2000 for Red Kite
and had their heads shaved as part of their fundraising
venture. Alice and Kim made presentations at assemblies
and donations were also collected from the out of uniform
day on the last day of Term 1. An amazing total of $5150
was raised for Redkite. A wonderful effort from Alice, Kim
their families, friends and the school community. Thank
you to all those staff that also made donations to Redkite.
SRC
I witnessed many parents reading the statements
from students who have nominated for the SRC on the
Student Leadership board in the Agora. The enthusiasm
and dedication shown by students across Year levels and
their willingness to take on leadership responsibilities
within the school has been outstanding. Candidates will
be making speeches to the student body this week with
voting to follow. Good luck to all candidates.
Exams and Study days in Term 2
All students who are studying a Unit3 & 4 subject will be
sitting the GAT (General Achievement Test) on Weds. 11th
June. Students are only required to attend school on that
day for the GAT. Year 11 and 12 students will also take
Respect | Aspiration | Contribution

Uniform
Students are required to wear their blazer to and from
school. Blazers must also be worn to all assemblies.
If your child has lost any items of uniform or school
materials including textbooks, pencil cases, calculators

stored at the General Office. We also have many pairs
of glasses in lost property which can be collected by
students or parents.

A silent study space will now be provided for year 12
students. This will increase the available study areas
within the school and further support year 12 students in
achieving success this year.

Competition Writing News
Congratulations Karla Quinton 10H from Year 9
Competition Writing Co-curricular class (2013)
who was shortlisted for Tasmania, Victoria, South
Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia
in the Somerset Novella 2014. Karla submitted her
novella “Dream State” in December last year. The
Somerset Novella is an annual national writing
competition, organised in Queensland and
sponsored by Bond University and Penguin group,
where students are required to write a novella of
between 6,000 and 10,000 words.
This is an excellent result for the Somerset Novella
competition. Not only did Karla correctly follow
competition guidelines, but also made the extra
effort required to write a novella. Look out for copies
of “Dream State” during Library and information
week 2014 at the iCentre.
If students are interested in entering the Somerset
novella 2015 more information can be found at:

They played extremely well, winning all of their three

Wyndham Youth Forum
On the 19th of March, Darcy Hales, Stasha D’Souza,
Akshi Malhotra, Joshua Cordina, Tarra Co, Sandali
Kulathilaka, Petros Koutroubinas, Rahik Ahmed
Sayid, Tim Eastwood and myself, accompanied by
Miss Chui, were lucky enough to represent Suzanne
Cory at the Wyndham Youth Forum. The Wyndham
Youth forum, is a forum designed by the Wyndham
Council and Youth Services. This forum stands with
the purpose of raising awareness through talks and
discussion on some of the largest issues our current
generation faces; but also to listen to the voices and
thoughts of the students of the schools in the area.
Upon arrival, we were gathered into the common
area for an opening speech that explained the
running and purpose of the day. Following that, we
all broke off into our assigned discussion groups.
In these groups we discussed various matters from
mental health to turning ideas into actions. Hearing
the opinions of students from other schools,
we were given a chance to broaden our own
knowledge and opinions on such issues, and how
we can implement this new found information, to
benefit our schooling life. It was truly an honour to
attend, as it was a fulfilling day that was not only
informative but inspiring. Kristine Carlos 10A
Opening Doors to Asia
The Asia Education Foundation
at the University of Melbourne
recently provided students at
SCHS with a unique opportunity to
hear from their Asia ambassadors
through their program Opening a
Door to Asia. Twenty of our student
attended to hear from a variety of
professionals of their experiences
of how learning an Asia language
has helped to position them to
take advantage of unique career
pathways connected with Asia.
Joshua Nelson’s reflection follows.
Last week I and 19 other ChineseLOTE students attended the
Asia Education Foundain at the
University of Melbourne to hear
about the careers of professional
who have worked in Asia, and
continuing learning an Asian
language after high school. When
we got there, we heard from a
teacher about courses we could
take to learn Chinese, Japanese,
Indonesian, and more at the
university. We then talked with two
people who had worked in China,
and they told us why, and how
they had benefited from it. We then
spoke to a university student who
was currently learning Chinese, and
she talked to us about how she was
learning the language, and how it
was good to learn it. Personally I
thought it was a helpful experience,
and allowed me to really see why I
should continue Chinese into VCE.

Redkite Charity
The Suzanne Cory High School community is so proud of our students Alice Borde and Kim Do for their
fundraising efforts. The girls are pictured here before and after shaving all their hair off for charity Redkite.
KOKODA
Kokoda for me (without
trying to sound too
clichéd) was lifechanging. At the time it
was tough, but looking
back I can see how it
made me a stronger
person and changed me
for the better.
My Kokoda journey was far from comfortable as I
had gastro the first two days and then no energy for
the next day-and-a-half as I was unable to keep any
food down. However, this in itself was a blessing in
disguise. It taught me that the mind is stronger than
the body as I was able to push through each day
without complaining. It also gave me something
to compare my situation to in the coming days. If
I was having trouble or wanted to stop I could tell
myself that at least I was not sick and tired like I
was at the start. This is something I will be able to
use for the rest of my life now as I made it through
Kokoda under some of the worst conditions our tour
guide had ever done it in (that being her 50th time
trekking Kokoda).
Kokoda itself is a very beautiful place that is as rich
in culture as it is in history. Every village we went
through had its own charm and clear sense of
community. Plus, the kids were funny when they
came up for a high-five and punched your palm
instead of high-fiving it. A highlight for me was the
night we were at Menari (the village whose hospital
we raised over AU$13,000 for) and the villagers sang
to us as their way of saying thank you. The looks on
their faces when they found out how much we had
raised for them and how grateful they were for what
we had done will be another of those unforgettable
Kokoda moments. As physically demanding as
Kokoda is, it is more of a mental challenge and it
was moments like this that raised our spirits and
gave us the energy to wake up the next morning
and finish what we had started. I did not realise
how big a mental challenge Kokoda was until I was
over there but I was glad that I was able to finish
it. Kokoda was an experience I will never forget.

Senior Interschool Soccer Competition
On Tuesday the 30th of April, the Senior Girls Soccer
team played 2 games of soccer back to back in
the District stage. Lyn, Anela, Jenny, Nicky, Julia,
Racheal, Fiona, Lynne, Elif, Kimmy and I first played
Manor lakes, who we won against with a score of 2-0
with Lynne scoring both goals! Our second game
was against Tarneit Senior (which we played in the
pouring rain). At half time we were down 0-1. But as
soon as the second half started Lynne kicked another
goal! The scores were even until Anela kicked a goal
and then Jenny scored another! We could not have
won without Ms Ladd, she is an awesome coach! I
am so proud of all the girls in the team and I can’t
wait until the next round! Also congratulations to
the Senior Boys Soccer team who drew their first two
games and won their second! Goal scorers for the
boys were Trishpal, David and Sam. Well done boys!

Suzanne Cory Hot Shots (SCHS)
The senior boys tennis team played some stellar
tennis last Wednesday, 30th of April competing in
the senior WMR tennis finals. Our very own tennis
hot shots, Sid Shanker, Jimmy Tran, Matt Lagamba,
Ckyever Gaviola and Gabriel Lirios braved the wintery
conditions, going up against MSA in the first round.
The team rose to the challenge, playing hard and
fighting till the end against the team deemed the
toughest competition of the day.
The boys took the loss in their stride as they went
on to smash both rounds 5-1 against Lakeview and
Belmont. The team showed excellent technique and
embodied a fantastic team spirit and sportsmanship.
The team placed second in the finals, ranking as
one of the ‘teams to beat’. The team returned home
victorious but not without a celebratory feast at
McDonalds, as per tennis tradition, courtesy of
Mr.Bourke.
All in all, the day was a wonderful success and
the senior boys tennis team deserves a huge
congratulations on their efforts.
Intermediate Tennis Finals
The intermediate tennis team faced some tough competition
in the Western Metropolitan Regional tennis finals on Monday
28th April. After confidently making it through the Wyndham
Region round, the team expected a much higher level of
competition. Even with this expectation on their minds, the team
played with determination and vigour throughout each match,
despite winning only a few. Overall, the students had a really
fun day, got to know each other a little better and formed new
friendships. A big congratulations to the team on making it this
far and exhibiting a positive attitude and good sportsmanship
throughout the day. See you next year! Ms Marissa Chui

House Update
As we move into term 2 our house competition is in full
swing. The new leaders have been active in engaging
students in their house in key competitions and
developing house spirit.
At the end of last term we gave students the opportunity
to take ownership of the area of the school where
they have their homegroup and tutorial sessions by
decorating it. As is often the case the students far
exceeded our expectations with original art work, hand
made logos and origami decorations all around. The
eventual winners of the very close competition were
Rothwell with their Carnival themed area.
Students have recently been active in a range of
citizenship activities which we encourage by the award
of house points. During the holiday around 30 students
fundraised for the Good Friday Appeal and we had
over 150 students participate in the Relay for Life. All
participants are commended for their contribution to
the wider community through these activities.
The current points standing is shown below along with
the names of those students who have embodied the
school values and been awarded values cards in the past
month.

House Competition
School Wide Positive Behaviours
The School Wide Positive Behaviours Team had such
a fantastic Term one, with the introduction of the
new look ‘Values Card and School Matrix design. ’The
“Values Card” system has been introduced to reward
positive behaviour at anytime, before school, in class,
during recess/lunch, after school or on excursions.
At the end of last term, we introduced a new
rewards system, and it has been very well received
by both students and staff. At the final assembly
of each term, all the values cards that have been
awarded for that term are put into a box and
two cards (one for years 9/10 and one for years
11/12) are pulled out at random by a Student
Management Leader. The winning students are then
allowed to select a prize from the ‘Rewards Menu’.
The winners for Term 1 one were Julie Nguyen (9G)
and Kenny Le (11A). Congratulations and keep up
the fantastic work!
In tutorial there is a big focus for all year levels on
preparation for exams, study skills and also a look at
subject selection and careers. For the senior students
we have ‘Elevate Education’ coming in to work with
students. Over the last 12 years Elevate’s quest has
been to unlock the secret to the final years of school:
Why do the top students get the top marks? Having
carried out an exhaustive process of benchmarking
the study habits of thousands of past students, we
have identified a number of areas where the practices
of the top students differ from average or lower
performing students. It is their belief and experience
that any student can improve their marks by tapping
into, replicating and using these study skills and
techniques. If you would like to know more about what
they offer the website is http://au.elevateeducation.
com/parents/home
Looking forward to another fantastic and rewarding
term!
