PARENT SURVEY THANKS
An enormous thank you to those families who
found the time to complete the Parent Opinion
Survey over the past week. The information that
we take from the collated results really does
inform us of what parents are seeing as positives at
our school and certainly provides opportunity for
constructive criticism to enable us to continue to
improve in what ever areas you suggest. We are
directed by the Department of Education to select
only 120 families and this is to be done randomly.
My apologies to those families who offered to
complete the survey but were not in the random
sample. We look forward to the results later this
term to inform our future work.
TEACHER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
We know that it is the teacher in each individual
classroom which has the greatest impact on
student learning within a school. In line with that
knowledge we continue our work to ensure that
every teacher constantly reflects on their work as
individual teachers through our shared work as a
school, unified in our passion to support every
student to be happy, resilient and successful. This
week our consultant in positive behaviours, Jenny
Mackay, observed classrooms for student
behaviour and led a professional learning session
after the school day. Jenny was full of praise after
her observations of the calm and order in our
classrooms. Jenny is highly complimenatry of the
work we have done over recent years in ensuring a
consistent and positive approach to developing
positive student behaviours through both the way
we teach and the structure in our school
environment.
SPECIAL EVENTS for SENIOR STUDENTS
Our Year 12 Trivia Night looked to be a very special
evening for students and their teacher mentors. A
great opportunity for our year 12’s to relax and
enjoy time together as we move quickly toward
the end of their secondary schooling days. Well
done to John Calnin and Dean Findlay for their
initiative with this special event.

Course counseling for current Years 10 students ran
very smoothly this week thanks to the hard work of
Louise Van Dugteren, Kate Ivermee, Aaron Hassett
and our teacher team, and to the willingness of
parents and students to engage fully in this very
important planning for the final years of secondary
schooling.
Current Year 9 students have been involved in a
showcase of our Year 10 Central Studies program
this week, to ensure that they nominate the most
appropriate course for their study next year. We are
looking forward to meeting with current Year 9
families at our important information session and
course planning evening on Wednesday August 12th.
SCHOOL WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOURS
We continue to build on our work in SWPB. Ask your
child about “success passes”. These are provided to
students when teachers see or hear students
behaving in a very positive manner, and as Ben
Johnson our Developing Positive Leader, has
explained, this is acknowledged further through a
raffle draw at assemblies. If your child has received a
“postcard” from a teacher this is a real celebration of
the positive behaviour.
Postcards highlight
exemplary behaviours – recognizing and celebrating
what our students are doing well. We are very much
aware, through research across the globe, that
positive feedback enhances student motivation and
learning!
Regards,
Lyn Boyle

ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS’ REPORT
Uniform
It seems that as our weather is getting colder, and
the girls are more frequently wearing their kilts, that
some kilts are shrinking in the wash. Please ensure
the length of the kilts remains knee length OR
LONGER. Students are encouraged to wear layers eg,
thermals, long sleeves UNDER their school shirts and
jumpers. Hoodies are not school uniform and
students will be asked to remove them if they are
identified wearing incorrect clothing. Skins should

not be visible if they are being worn under their
HAPE uniform for the purposes of PE. Leggings are
not part of the uniform of Lara Secondary College
and should not be worn for any reason.
New Zealand Ski Trip
A number of Senior Years students are very excited
with their impending departure to New Zealand from
Saturday 15th to Friday 21st August. Students will be
staying in the township of Methven and will spend
some of their time snowboarding at Mt Hutt. We are
told there is a 140m long Magic Carpet in the
beginners area alongside some of the best facilities
in New Zealand. The group will also spend a day in
Christchurch visiting the International Antarctic
Centre learning about life in modern day Antarctica
and the Scott Base as well, as time at the Rakaia
Gorge. Some of the goals set for the group have
included developing an appreciation of extreme
weather conditions and factors affecting personal
safety, improving their understanding of team work,
leadership, tolerance and cooperation as well as
budgeting and managing their expenditure. We wish
our New Zealand travellers a safe and memorable
trip.
Immunisations:
We are aware that, due to illness, there were a
number of students who were unable to have their
immunisations completed last week. The next
immunisations are again for the Year 7 students, and
for the Year 8 students and will be taking place in
November. If you would like your child to have their
catch up immunisation sooner than this, you are able
to attend the Immunisation Centres in Belmont,
Corio, Newtown, Ocean Grove or Newcomb at the
allocated times. Please be aware that you are
required to make an appointment if attending some
of the Belmont times. For further information and
exact times, please contact Barwon Health on
4215 6962.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
CREATIVE WRITING ENGLISH EXTENSION GROUP
Last weekend Year 7 student, Kurosh J competed in
the Seishin Cup, which is a Victorian Karate
Competition. Kurosh was the overall winner for the
11-12 year old age group. Kurosh will now compete
in
the
Shinkyokushinkai
National
Karate
Championships which will be held in Sydney on
Sunday 30 August 2015. If he wins in Sydney, he
becomes national champion and could compete
internationally. Kurosh has been competing for a
year and a half, and trains 6 hours a week, on a
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night. He
currently holds a yellow belt. Kurosh says karate has
taught him about self-endurance and thoroughly
enjoys
participating
in karate.
For six weeks, chosen students from Years 7 – 10
were invited to join a Creative Writing English
Extension Group.
As a former teacher of Lara Secondary College, and
Scriptwriter and Script Editor of Australian television
drama series and serials, I ran the program and
instructed the students on the five essential
elements of storytelling: plot, theme, characters,
setting and language. I was also keen to drive home
the importance of drafting and redrafting a story to
create a final polished piece.
The students who attended the group regularly and/
or submitted a final piece were: Rhennay B, Tom S,
Hayden R, Tallin A, Jade G, Logan C, Mia N, Decklyn
P, Jemma T, Czar J V, Amber W, Eileshe G, Sheyanne
D, Chase B, Riane B, Kaitlyn C, Jena C and Emily D.
Here are some of their responses to participating in
the program:
“I have learnt so many new things about writing and
it has really improved my descriptions and creativity
when writing story ideas.” Tallin, Year 7
YEAR 9 INTO 10 INFORMATION EVENING
The Year 9 into 10 Information Evening is on
Wednesday 12th August from 6pm – 7:30pm. The
aim of this event is to support our Year 9 students to
make an informed decision about their Year 10
program for 2016. The Year 10 teaching team will be
present to support you to improve your
understanding of the Year 10 Core, Elective and
Central Study subjects on offer, as well as the
Accelerated Learning Program and VET/SBA
programs
that
are
available.
During the evening, you will have your first
opportunity to make an appointment with your
child’s TLC Teacher, to schedule a time to attend and
support the Course Counselling and Student Led
Conferences on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th of
August.
If you have any queries about this event please
contact your child’s TLC teacher or Year 9 Program
Leader, Dave Mitri.
Alkara Ave, Lara, Victoria 3212
“The most useful thing I learnt was that a story
doesn’t need to be extremely dramatic or have an
extreme problem to be good” Jemma, Year 8
“I learnt that there’s a lot of editing and character
development involved. I also learnt how to engage
an audience and why it’s important.” Chase, Year 9
“The most useful thing I learned was how to use
metaphors or symbols instead of directly saying
something. I would definitely do something like this
again if given the chance, because I really enjoy
writing and I am no longer given many opportunities
to express my creative writing.” Emily, Year 10
I would like to thank all of the students for their
excellent attention and enthusiasm. I would also like
to thank their teachers for allowing them the time to
participate, with an extra special thanks to Tracy
Allinson for organising the program and making it
possible in the first place. The students will be
celebrating their achievements by attending a special
event at the Melbourne Writers Festival in August,
and selected stories from this group will appear in
the end–of-year school magazine.

VCAL PDS Drama – Youth Voices Project
The Applied Learning Drama students are devising a
performance for Geelong Performing Arts Centre’s
(GPAC) Youth Voices 2015. Youth Voices gives young
people the opportunity to explore and express topics
or issues of value to them and present them to
public audiences. Our Drama group are working with
the topic of Body Image and portraying real life
experiences through characters they have created
themselves. On Thursday the 30th July, GPAC Youth
and Education Program Coordinator Kelly Clifford
visited our Drama class. Through a work shop
environment students shared their progress on the
play with her. Here is some feedback from our
students about our fantastic session with Kelly:
“Kelly understood what message we were trying to
get across (in our play)” - Georgia
“I liked how she (Kelly) got us all thinking and
throwing ideas out there” - Chloe
“I liked how Miss Pearson and Kelly worked together
and got us into the vibe of contributing to our own
work. We were really engaged” - Abbey
Youth Voices plays at GPAC on Thursday the 10th
September to celebrate RUOK Day. Tickets are $5.00.

under regular attack from the more experienced
opposition and we had soon conceded two goals.
Our two experienced players Isabel R and Jade G
then dropped back into more defensive roles and
then we started to repel attacking forays. Finally,
Jasmin W managed to score our first goal in the last
minute of the game.
The next game was against the eventual winners for
the day Surfcoast Secondary College. Their team had
some talented players and everyone played their
position. We shared goalkeeping duties, but it was
very difficult as the ball was continually coming into
the penalty area and even when our backs blocked
passes or shots, there was always another opposition
player in position to shoot again. The score was nine
to nil at the final whistle.
To finish the day we played off in the consolation
final against Northern Bay. This was a much more
even contest. Our girls were beginning to understand
how to score goals, while our defence was more
organised. We quickly had three goals on the board
and everyone wanted to be in the attacking end of
the ground. Unfortunately, this strategy allowed
Northern Bay to score twice in the second half.
However, the girls steadied and added two more
goals.
Georgie Y was a strong defender with her
penetrating kicks. Isabel R and Jade G were reliable
in the midfield and used their knowledge of the
game to position themselves effectively. Chloe W
and Kayla T had a go in goals and repelled many
attacking moves. Annie G used her agility to blunt
numerous opposition forwards. Jemma D and Lexie L
were involved in many forward moves. Rhenay B and
Reily G tried hard wherever they were playing.
Jasmin W was a real little terrier and ended up
scoring three goals. Other goal scorers were Kaylah
R, Lexie L & Georgie Y.
MERIDITH THOMPSON
YEAR 7 SOCCER
Our team was full of enthusiasm but few had played
in competition outside of school. The first game was
against Belmont. We set up some good chances
through some controlled dribbling by Kaylah R.
Georgie Y took on the role of goalkeeper and was

INTERMEDIATE GIRLS HOCKEY
Week one of this term produced some fine
performances in hockey.
The girls made a decisive start; once they realized the
fragility of the opposing goalkeeper, Paris S and Lucy
B were merciless and hit the ball hard, at her, at
every opportunity. Georgia D, Rachael Z and Dayna
W made impressive runs on the forward line, while
Lilly-Anne W and Shauna G made their hockey
debuts at halfback. They finished up 6-0 with scorers
being Paris S - 4, Lucy B – 1 and Rachael Z – 1.
The second game was against Surf Coast Secondary
College. This was a much more even affair, but the
girls made it through to the semi-final with a win.
Emily P and Annie H in goal were called upon to do
some defending for the first time for the day. Tahlee
M laid many tackles while Tylah E’s passing to the
forwards was effective. Scorers were again Paris S – 1
and Lucy B – 1.
They had to play Belmont, the eventual winners, in
the semi-final. None of our girls play hockey
competitively at the moment, so the legs were
beginning to tire. Despite plenty of forward thrusts
the experience of the main opposition back, kept the
girls’ best efforts at bay. Paris S continually used all of
her impressive stick skills to negate the effectiveness
of their best players. However, at the other end of
the ground, Belmont’s other very experienced player
was able to convert on a couple of penalty corners,
with a slightly raised shot, making it difficult for our
defenders. The girls went down, but never gave up.
Claudia B put in a very determined effort, in defence,
in this game and Dayna W scored her first and the
team’s only goal.
Thank you to Lachlan B and Ryan W for their
assistance and overall - a fabulous effort by
everyone!

Miskeen was a request in OverDrive but not sure by whom?
“Confined in his stall after an exhausting day of performances in unbearable heat,
Miskeen was spotted by a boy. The boy took up a training whip and beat the horse
mercilessly until, in panic, Miskeen struck out. The boy was bitten severely, and, in
retribution, Miskeen was ordered to have all his teeth pulled so that he could never "turn
vicious" again. Suddenly the magnificent animal was disabled, humiliated, unable to eat,
and totally worthless to those who had prized him.
Miskeen would have died, had he not been rehabilitated by a young British woman
named Vicky Malia”.
If you need assistance borrowing from OverDrive come and see us in the library.

PATHWAYS TO UNIVERSITY – Some students who would
like to study at university do not obtain a high enough ATAR to
access their preferred course. What happens then? Many
universities offer pathways into university. For example,
Deakin has Deakin College,
Telephone: 03 5282 8988
Lara Secondary College
Monash has Monash College, La Trobe has La Trobe Melbourne
and Swinburne has UniLink. Courses at these institutions can be
accessed with lower ATARs and often provide pathways into
university.
Other pathways exist. For example, Monash has a number of
diploma programs (in science, business, education & nursing),
the University of Melbourne offers a Diploma of General
Studies as a possible pathway, ACU offers courses through
ACUCom, while Swinburne, RMIT and Victoria Universities offer
certificate and diploma courses through their VET divisions,
often offering pathways to university. Furthermore, some VET
providers (eg Box Hill Institute) have formal pathways in place
to access particular university degrees.
Keep in mind as well, as noted in previous issues, that some
universities allow students to access their courses on a lower
ATAR as a result of the students’ involvement in their
communities (eg Aspire at La Trobe and the Early Achievers
Program at ACU).
6. WHERE DO GRADUATES GO? Decisions about higher
education are some of the biggest you will make. ’Where Grads
Go’ provides the latest information on what graduates do and
how much they earn (figures from the 2014 Australian
Graduate Survey - Graduate Careers Australia). In 2014, the
average bachelor graduate earned $52,500. Median salaries of
some bachelor degrees were: mathematics $60,000, IT
$55,000, architecture and building $53,000, engineering
$62,000, medicine $62,000, nursing $54,000, education
$59,000, accounting $52,000, psychology and behavioural
sciences $52,000, law and justice studies $58,800 and visual
and performing arts $42,000.
Finding a full-time job after graduation isn’t always easy. The
following shows how graduates fared finding full-time work
four months after graduating: mathematics 64.94%, IT 67.16%,
engineering 72.2%, architecture and building 68.59%, medicine
97.52%, nursing 80.07%, education 70.01%, accounting
73.90%, psychology and behavioural sciences 52.14%, law and
justice studies 72.71%, visual and performing arts 44.73%
(substantial numbers were also in part-time work, and many go
on to further study). In some fields, like engineering and
nursing, most graduates find work in the fields they trained
for. Graduates of other fields find work in a wide variety of
fields. Interestingly, 93.9% of Australian bachelor graduates
said they were broadly satisfied with their higher education
experience. See: www.graduatecareers.com.au/wheregradsgo.
