PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE


Ms Desley Pfeffer It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you back to the 2019 school year. This year promises to be

another busy and successful year with many new and continuing programs that will enhance the

learning and wellbeing of our students.

2019 also sees the implementation of the second year of our 2018 – 2020 School Plan and some

exciting revisions have been made as well as consolidation in some areas. Our three strategic

directions remain:

1. Positive Wellbeing

2. Personalised and responsive student learning

3. Organisational effectiveness and quality professional practice

Our vision statement underpins our School Plan and states: Mount View HS is dedicated to developing an innovative,

flexible learning culture that is courageous and aspirational, with opportunities for all to thrive.

Staff Changes

We have farewelled the following staff and wish them all well for future endeavours:

Mr Lincoln Comans, School Counsellor, and “Brando” as they moved back to Sydney

Mr John O’Connor, Science Teacher, upon retirement

Mrs Lorelle Holden, English Teacher, upon resignation

Mrs Alicia Drewe, School Counsellor a temporary appointment to another school for Terms 1, 2 & 3

Mrs Nicola Steiner, HT HSIE, upon merit selection as HT HSIE at Lambton HS

I would like to welcome our new staff to the school:

Mrs Dianne Tudball, School Counsellor

Mr Scott Gould, School Counsellor (temporary)

Mrs Leah Grove, now permanently appointed to the Science faculty

Mrs Lyndal Burke, PDHPE Teacher, from Cessnock HS

Mr Paul Glover, now permanently appointed to our TAS faculty

Mrs Karina Janetzki, now permanently appointed to our Learning & Support faculty

There is also a small number of temporary staff filling roles for staff on various types of leave and/or filling additional

temporary positions that we have created so as to best cater for our students’ learning and wellbeing needs.

Behaviour Code for Students

The NSW Department of Education has a documented Behaviour Code for Students. This document outlines our

commitment to providing a safe, supportive and responsive learning environment for all – students, staff,

parents/carers and visitors to our school. Student behaviour expectations fall under three broad areas: Respect,

Safety and Engagement. The Behaviour Code for Students will be on display in all classrooms and is reprinted in this

edition of The View, for your reference.

Banned Items at School and Confiscation of Student Property

Also included in this edition is a copy of the Banned Items at School and Confiscation of Student Property document.

This is a school-generated document that was discussed with our P&C and the Department of Education’s Legal

Branch to ensure its accuracy and legitimacy. Again, please take the opportunity to familiarise yourself with this

document and discuss.



Facebook, Website and communication

Please read Mr Hookway’s explanation of the school’s website and Facebook page later in this edition. It should also

be noted that the school Facebook page is not regularly checked throughout the normal school day and hence,

should NOT be used to notify us of student absences or to pass on messages to students and/or staff. In these cases,

a phone call to the school is preferred. Mr Hookway and I do try to check our FaceBook page each evening or morning

but this cannot be guaranteed.

School Community Charter

Also included in this edition is a copy of the newly-released School Community Charter. Quite erroneously, this

document was promoted in the media late last year as a “Parent Code of Conduct.”

In fact, it is a document which outlined the responsibilities of parents, carers, teachers and all school staff in NSW

public schools so that we:

Treat each other with respect

Prioritise the wellbeing of all students and staff

Work together with the school

Work in partnership to promote student learning

Create collaborate learning environments

As with the other documents, please take the time to review this document. Copies are also displayed at both the

Attendance office and the Administration office and can be found online on the Department of Education’s website.

2018 HSC Results

HSC results at the end of last year were some of the best ever achieved at Mount View HS! It was exciting to see such

wonderful young people achieving personal bests, and ultimately enabling them to enter into their desired field of

study, training or employment following 13 successful years of schooling. Results in the highest bands of

achievement increased, as did the number of subjects in which excellent results were achieved. Whilst there has

been overall steady improvement each year for the last 7 years, in 2018 we moved up a staggering 104 places on the

Sydney Morning Herald’s HSC Table, placing us well ahead of many other similar high schools in the Hunter region,

both public and independent.

Finally …

There are many things on the immediate horizon at school, including finalisation of the Beyond Bullying Review, a

comprehensive review of our school uniform, continuation and expansion of our “Strengthening the HSC” strategy,

wellbeing programs, Elevate study support sessions for all year groups and the participation of two F1 in Schools

teams at the National Championships.

Underpinning all of this is the commitment by myself and my staff to supporting students’ learning and wellbeing to

the highest level that we can. The relationship we have with and amongst each other as educators, parents and

students is crucial in achieving the best for our students.

Have a wonderful exciting and fun year learning new things, making connections and moving forward!

DEPUTY REPORTS


Mrs Larayne Jeffery – Relieving Deputy Years 8/10/12 In 2019 I will be supporting the students in Years 8, 10 & 12. My commitment is to support all students equally to achieve their personal best and make a positive impact on our school community.

Managing Technology

Year 8 have attended two presentations already on safe internet use and anti-bullying. You will hear more about this in other sections of the View. I also attended a community presentation for Safe Internet Day on Tuesday 5th February at Cessnock PCYC with other members of staff. This was delivered by our new School Liaison Police Officer SC Will Kirby. After reading an article this week entitled ‘Managing Technology for the Good of our Health’, I would encourage parents to further consider these points:

Taking phones to bed is unhealthy, depriving us of sleep and rest. Incoming alerts can disturb sleep and increase the concern of ‘missing out’ on what’s happening, therefore

raising anxiety. Increased daytime tiredness follows. Increased anxiety, depression and low self-esteem follow inadequate sleep. Unmanaged and bedtime social media use can specifically increase pressure to be available at all times and

further disrupt sleep. Dedicated, device-free family times are needed on a regular basis. Family meals provide such an opportunity

and yield healthy benefits. Keep working to keep screen time optimised and healthy in the family by leading by example. Let’s keep

speaking with our students, communicating with them, unconditionally supporting them and even understanding them. They are the leaders of tomorrow and they are worth it!

Strengthening the HSC Support Strategy As part of our HSC Support Strategy we have once again engaged with Atomi who provide online video tutorials for maximum retention. These are syllabus specific, powered by research and focus on content and application. Students from Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Business Studies are involved in the first part of the trial and further support will be provided by the inclusion of access to their remaining subjects. The trial period concludes at the end of Term 1 and data results will determine the next steps. Students are able to source this resource online individually and cater it to their study pattern. Our first wellbeing support morning tea for Year 12 is booked for Tuesday 26th February. Last year, students indicated that this was a positive initiative and they were most appreciative of support from guest speakers and on the psychology behind stress and its effects on the brain.

DEPUTY REPORTS


Staff Professional Learning On the first day of the term, staff began their professional learning sessions for the year. An important part of staff professional learning is mandatory training such as anaphylaxis awareness, child protection and CPR. Staff also attended the first Twilight Training session of the year on Tuesday 12th Feb from 3.00 - 6.00 pm where they completed

a 3 hour Foundation Course: Understanding adversity: A Brain-based approach to learning and behaviour. This course provided staff with foundational knowledge in the neuroscience of challenging behaviour; key concepts in trauma informed education, as well as practical classroom and playground strategies to support wellbeing and learning readiness. NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority) maintains strict guidelines on staff accreditation and proficiency as part of their professional development. During our first staff meeting of the year, teachers were supported by our Department of Education Teacher Quality Advisor Teacher who outlined the most effective way to maximise teacher professional learning in line with state policies and the strategic directions of our own school plan. Teachers are lifelong learners, aiming to deliver the best quality lessons for your student’s education pathway.

School Emergency Procedures The following information outlines the school’s procedures in the case of an emergency. Students will be reminded of the relevant procedures and undergo regular drills to practise them. It is important at all times that students keep their phones turned off and do not cause alarm by phoning parents. The school will always keep parents informed through Facebook posts or SMS messages if there is an emergency. Evacuation. An evacuation of the school will be signalled by a repeated siren sound with instructions to evacuate.

Move directly to the school oval

Line up in roll call groups in House groups as indicated by your House signs

When the roll is checked, be seated in your roll call line. Do not wander around or move from your roll call group

Follow teacher direction for safety and the efficient checking of attendance

DEPUTY REPORTS


Lockdown. A lockdown will be signalled by a repeated single tone similar to a reversing truck. Important points are:

follow teacher instructions

if outside, move under direction of teachers to the nearest room

remain seated on the floor, in the middle of the room away from windows

wait for teachers to lock doors, turn off lights and complete a roll check

do not use mobile phones

remain quiet

remain in the room until the all clear is signalled by three bells.

An assembly is then conducted to debrief after the lockdown.

Lockout is a procedure which prevents unauthorised entry to the school and is commonly used when there is a general threat, or an incident is occurring off school property. This procedure allows school activities to continue as normal during the external disruption. Lockout generally occurs when there is a risk of intruders.

This is communicated by 10 short bells then the bells are turned off. Students are to remain in class or if during a break, be directed to a classroom. All external ground floor windows and external boundary gates are locked. The lesson continues until the end of the emergency. Students are not to use mobile phones. Upon all clear notice from the appropriate authority three bells will ring to announce the end of the emergency. A school assembly will follow the end of the lockout.

Our school prides itself on a high level of maintenance in the buildings and grounds which is well supported by our tireless and hardworking Site Manager Mr. Brad Walker.

During the Christmas holidays, there were many improvements to the grounds and buildings including installation of new goal posts on the oval and completion of the oval upgrade to remove weeds and improve playing surface. This initiative has been supported by P&C and allows students a safe area for school sports and lunchtime activities.

Improvements to the front garden entrance included a small retaining wall to minimise the erosion in this area. If you are walking through school grounds to attend the office administration area, please use the footpaths provided.

There has also been some improvements to the public car park near the bus bay by Cessnock Council. Old fencing was removed and car park surfaces were repaired and painted.

DEPUTY REPORTS


Mr Shane Hookway – Deputy Years 7/9/11 In 2019 I will be the Deputy Principal of Years 7, 9 and 11. In this newsletter I would like to communicate a number of resources that Mount View High School has to offer you and your child aimed at supporting their learning. Before that I would like to let you know about a school rule that has been previously and will continue to be an ongoing focus during 2019. Mobile Phones: Currently students are able to bring mobile phones to Mount View

High School. Having said that they are not necessary and often cause more problems than what they solve. Mobile phones are banned items in the classroom. Students have been told explicitly that they are not to have them out while in the classroom or otherwise during lesson time. Students who break this rule are subject to having their phone confiscated by their classroom teacher or any other supervising teacher. I would like to remind parents that the front office (02 4990 2566) should always be contacted should you need to speak with your child or pick them up.

Assessment Schedules

Assessment schedules have been published detailing the date of assessment, the type of assessment, the weight of each assessment task and the topic students are to be assessed on. I would like to encourage parents and caregivers to help their children keep organised with meeting assessment tasks deadlines by accessing the relevant booklets via the school website or, if viewing this newsletter digitally, by clicking on the following link https://mountview-h.schools.nsw.gov.au/learning-at-our-school/assessment-and-reporting/assessment-schedule.html. The schedules were also published via a link on the school’s Facebook account. All students have been delivered an electronic version of their assessment booklets via their @education email accounts. Hard copies were also issued to every student in Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Upon request, hard copies will also be made for any parent. Having said that I highly recommend using the electronic versions of this document. Considerable time and effort has been made to ensure that they are fully interactive. You can simply click your way through each of the specific year based assessment documents to navigate to the required section.

DEPUTY REPORTS


The whole year overview as shown above is a feature of each assessment schedule. It maps out across each term the sequence and timing assessments. It is a great page to have on the fridge or any other place frequently viewed.

BYOD

Mount View High School is a BYOD school. Please remember though that this is not mandatory and students will not be left disadvantaged if they do not have their own device. School based resources of Chromebook laptop banks are provided in English, Mathematics, Science and HSIE. In addition our library manage a further set of 30 Chromebooks and 30 Laptops that teachers can book for use with their classes. This is in supplement to the three dedicated computer labs around the school. In 2019 we will again expand on the classroom laptop resources. Students have the option to use their own personal device if so desired given they can demonstrate that they can work effectively when using a laptop. I would strongly encourage that both parents and students be familiar with the policy relating to BYOD available on our school's website under the by following the “About our school / Rules and policies / Bring your own device’ menu or by following this link - https://mountview-h.schools.nsw.gov.au/about-our-school/rules-and-policies/bring-your-own-device.html The MVHS BYOD student agreement can be printed off from home (following the above link) or obtained from the front administrative office (window near the attendance office). Once complete, students need to return the agreement to the front office. Students are not permitted to bring a device for use in the classroom until such time as the agreement has been completed, returned to MVHS and authorised.

Mount View High School supports students who bring their own devices to school through the provision of a significant number of laptop lockers that aim to assist students care for their devices. Students or families can hire a locker by contacting the front office or Mr Means (HT TAS).

Student Support

In 2019 the following learning supports will be available for students to access in addition to their timetabled classroom teacher. Homework club will continue to run again every Monday in the library from just after 3pm through to around 5pm. MVHS has expanded the senior tutor study sessions with Miss Schafer now employed 5 days per week. All Year 11 & 12 students are invited to attend in study lessons or on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon and dedicate time to working on homework and assessments with additional support here at school. Please encourage your children who are in senior classes to utilise this additional opportunity to make their 2019 school year successful.

This year Mount View High School has invested a significant amount of money in employing Elevate Education to deliver sessions to each year group primarily focusing on study skills and time management. External presenters will come into school at various times to target each year group.

I would like to promote the free "Your tutor resource" provided by Cessnock City Library. Students need to sign in with a library card number. Online, on-demand study help is available for library members that cover students in Years 3 through to Year 12. Students can upload a writing draft 24/7 to receive expert feedback in less than 24 hours. This service is included in the library membership. The resource is hyper-linked via the "Useful internet links" in the Appendices section of each Assessment Schedule. Alternatively you can use the following link: https://yourtutor.com.au/connect/clients/cessnock-city-library/authenticate

Aboriginal Education

In 2019 our wonderful Aboriginal Liaison Officer Michelle Bedford and Aboriginal Education Officer Tracy Eddy will be supported by the employment of Samuel Russell. Sam will be working two days a week. This increase in staffing will help provide the targeted support to student learning and improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student outcomes at Mount View High School.

SCHOOL FEE STATEMENTS

2019 statements for student course fees, voluntary contributions, and some extra-curricular activities are currently being mailed. Payment for course fees and voluntary contributions can be made in a single payment or paid off in instalments between Term 1 and the end of Term 3.

Statements will be posted to families at the beginning of each term to assist you to keep track of what amounts may still be owing. Payment for extra-curricular activities should be made prior to the date of the activity. Parents/carers have several payment options, including coming to the school’s administration office and paying with cash, cheque or EFTPOS; allowing their child to pay cash, cheque or EFTPOS at the student counter; paying online via the school website.

The payment of school contributions is voluntary and is a decision made by parents and carers. The benefits will flow to all students at Mount View High School through the improved educational resources made available through voluntary school contributions. As voluntary school contributions are used in the provision of education related supplies and improvements to school facilities, these amounts are GST-free.

Course fees are charged to students for the purchase of materials to enhance the delivery of elective subjects in the key learning areas eg creative arts, technology and applied sciences, PD/Health/PE and science. Year 7 and Year 8 students are also charged course fees to cover the purchase of materials your child will use in subjects such as science, agriculture, technology, and the creative arts. As elective subject contributions are used in the provision of education related supplies, these amounts are GST-free.

Mount View High School assigns an amount from our School Budget Allocation towards Student Assistance. Parents/carers who receive Centrelink benefits such as Family Tax Benefit, can apply for Student Assistance to help them cover the cost of course fees and extra-curricular activities, or the purchase of uniforms. Please come to the school’s administration office to collect a form to complete an application for Student Assistance. Families must complete a separate application for each of their children enrolled at Mount View High School, and must also supply a copy of their Centrelink statement. All Student Assistance applications received for students from Year 7 to Year 12 will be considered according to need and the total budget we are able to offer to assist families.

If any parent/carer would like to discuss arranging a payment plan for extra-curricular activities for their child please contact the Head Teacher Wellbeing by calling the school on (02) 4990 2566.

YEAR ADVISER REPORTS


Year 7 – Sarah Bendall A warm welcome to Year 7 students as they embark on the adventures of high school. They have

had a great start to the year, demonstrating confidence and bravery as they find their way around

the school. Everyone appears to be settling in well and finding a grove to call their own. I have

enjoyed meeting all the new students and look forward to what 2019 has to offer for us all.

On Tuesday 6 February, Year 7 had the pleasure of meeting the School Liaison Police Officers, Senior Constable

John Collins and Senior Constable Will Kirby. During their visit students were presented information addressing

issues around bullying, cyber bulling and sexting. Year 7 were provided with information on their personal

obligations alongside the social and legal implications of these issues. Knowledge equals power so I hope everyone

who was present on the day can walk away with ways to support themselves and others in the cohort.

Year 7 Camp and deadlines

Year 7 and Year 10 peer support students should have brought home a Year 7 camp permission note and

medical/activity restriction form. Camp is a compulsory activity as it provides students the opportunity to challenge

themselves in a variety of ways by participating in a number of activities designed to promote an individual’s self-

confidence, self-esteem and promote positive relationships with peers and MVHS staff. Most of all, I am really just

looking forward to getting dirty and having a bit of fun.

Important dates:

Camp departure is at 9am on Monday 25th of February. We return at 2.45pm on Wednesday 27th of

February

Permission note, payment and Medical/activity restriction notes all need to be returned to school by

Thursday 14th February.

STUDENT GEAR CHECKLIST (3-DAY CENTRE PROGRAM)

4 T-shirts (no mid-riff or sleeveless

shirts allowed)

Torch (make sure it is working

before you bring it on camp)

2 pair of long pants for cold weather 2 pairs of sensible joggers or boots (1 old

pair that you can get wet - no thongs!)

Spare socks and underwear 2 plastic bags to put your dirty or wet clothes

in

Hat or cap and beanie Toiletries

1 raincoat 2 towels (1 for outdoors, 1 for showers)

YEAR ADVISER REPORTS


Year 9 – Ainslie Martin Welcome back to 2019 and what a busy start to the year it has been. I welcome all returning and new

students to Year 9 and hope your holiday was safe and relaxing. Many of our students had wonderful

holidays and I have loved hearing about their adventures.

Students have received their new timetables and met new classmates and teachers. This year we are

going to concentrate on quality work and effort. This means getting class work done and especially

getting all assignments in on time, every time. Assessments start from Week 5 so I urge parents to go

through the Assessment Schedule booklet (which is available on the school website under ‘Assessment and Reporting’)

with their child in order to prepare and minimise stress.

Week 2 saw Year 9 students involved in a workshop covering Bullying and Harassment with Em Thompson, a motivational

speaker. Bullying is unfortunately on the rise within our world and Em provided many strategies to help children cope. On

Wednesday we enjoyed a perfect day at our annual Swimming Carnival. I was impressed to see so many Year 9 students

participating in both swimming and house events. We have such a talented and enthusiastic year group – I was so proud

of them all.

Parents and caregivers, please don’t forget to let me know if there are any issues your child may be struggling with. Similarly, I would love to hear good news stories and about the achievements of your kids. I know we have some shining stars in our midst and I would love to share their success stories here at MVHS. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Year 10 – Melissa Parish Welcome back all Year 10 students and their parents. I hope you all had an enjoyable and safe holiday. Year 10 is the last year of your child's Stage 5 learning. At the end of this year they will select their subjects they wish to study for the HSC. If your child is a Peer Support Leader for a group of Year 7 students they would have received a permission note with all the details of the camp. The camp is from the 25th - 27th February.

Last week all Year 10 would have received an Assessment Schedule for 2019. You can also access the schedule via the Mount View High School website: https://mountview-h.schools.nsw.gov.au/content/dam/doe/sws/schools/m/mountview-h/assessments-/2019_Year_10_Assessment_Schedule_Linked.pdf and the Parent/Student Portal. If your child did not receive a paper copy of their schedule then I have spares. If your child expressed an interest via a survey that they wanted to attend the Careers Camp in Term 2 then they would have received a note highlighting the cost. The initial deposit of $100 is due on the 15th February. If you have any questions or concerns please ring me via the school's front office. I look forward to another year supporting your children.

ENGLISH & DRAMA FACULTY


Rebecca Bartlett – Head Teacher (Relieving) Term one has begun, and time seems to be

flying by in the English Faculty. We farewelled

Mrs Lorelle Holden at the end of 2018 and

have welcomed Ms Simone Price for the

interim. Mrs Wyper has extended her leave

and so I still hold the reins until such time as she returns. We

retain Mrs Sullivan and Mr Daniels who both do fabulous jobs

so the Faculty is chugging along nicely.

As always, the English block will be a hive of activity as students engage in extending their communication skills

across a range of contexts. Advanced and Extension English students achieved exceptional results in last year’s HSC

and the staff are committed to continue to support students to strive to succeed. The conceptual building blocks are

in place and we look forward to some excellent results across all year levels in 2019.

This year students will be offered a range of opportunities to further build on their skills and we encourage all to take

advantage as these arise. Already this term HSC students are attending an HSC English Student Study Day at Sydney

University and Year 11 Drama are going to a Drama Works performance also in Sydney. We are currently looking into

organising students to attend workshops at the Sydney Writing Festival as well as having special guests and

performers visiting the school so watch this space. Numbers are often limited for these events so students are

advised to be quick when notes are sent home.

English is also the hub for drama, debating, creative writing and public speaking, so anyone interested in any of these

activities can pop in to the English staff room at any time and have a chat about the possibility of becoming involved

in competitions and extra-curricular activities that are on offer.

If students are finding tasks or class work daunting, they are encouraged to stop by at recess or lunch to discuss their

concerns with the class teacher. We also support the home work club that is available on Monday afternoons in the

Library.

I look forward to a super Year of the Pig and hope that all students reach their potential in the single most important

subject they will ever study.

Just a friendly reminder too: all English texts borrowed pre 2019 are now long overdue so we would appreciate their timely return.



2019, an original production, coming to a stage near you!

Welcome back to a new year full of ideas, improvisation, puppetry,

new problems to solve, and lots of learning to be done!

Year 11...

...Hit the ground running into the Stage 6 course with an

excursion to OnSTAGE at the Seymour Centre on the 12th

of Feburary. OnSTAGE is an exhibition of exemplar HSC

Drama Performances and Individual Design projects from

the previous year. Students were thrilled to learn that

Miss Johnson scored tickets to BOTH programs, which is

no easy task as a chance to view the highest standard of

HSC work in the state is highly sought after.

Students have also received their assessment schedules and

are diving right into their Improvisation, Playbuilding and

Acting unit. In Term 2, they will consider the other technical

aspects of the theatre industry and how the elements of

production can enhance the theatrical experience for the

audience and shape meaning onstage. In Term 3, they will

conclude their studies with a journey through a theatrical

style.

Year 8… Our fresh faced Year 8 classes will

begin their studies in Drama this term with

an appreciation of puppetry as an art

form. Their first assessment task will be in

Week 5 where they will create their own

original puppet character. Students are

encouraged to find and recycle materials

from home to help them construct their

puppet. In Week 10, they will have

collaborated with their peers to create an

original and entertaining performance that showcases the personalities of their

puppets. We can’t wait to see what they create and how quickly their skills and

confidence will improve over the next 10 weeks!



Opportunity for young filmmakers!

The Focus on Ability Film Festival is back for 2019 for what will be our biggest year ever. Entries close

May 31, 2019 and as always, the theme is 'focus on the ability of people with disability.' We will be hosting

many events around Australia and the world so be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook page to keep up

to date.

For more information please come see us in the English Staffroom.

MATHEMATICS FACULTY


Ben McCartney - Head Teacher We have a few new and exciting things starting this year. We have reviewed our assessments in light of the new Stage 6 requirements. NESA has mandated an assignment or research task in Years 11 and 12, so we’re introducing these alternate tasks into the junior years also. There will be one of these new tasks for each year group.

There are new year Mathematics courses in Advanced and Extension 1 kicking off this year, with Mathematics Standard 1 & 2 moving towards the HSC for the first time. There is a lot of additional professional learning for the Mathematics staff taking place. Some of this is via inservices throughout the year and others in our own time, after hours, to maximise the potential of our students. For all students to have success in the Mathematics classroom, we need to ensure that all students have and bring a calculator. We sell a SHARP EL531TH BWH calculator that is an excellent device for classroom use. It costs less than $20, but any NESA approved calculator will suffice. The most common question I’m asked by students is: ‘Why can’t I use my phone?’ Here are some reasons why we discourage phone use and encourage dedicated calculators:

Phones aren’t allowed during examinations due to their storage capabilities, internet access and ability for students to cheat.

Not all students have a phone and since they’re significantly more expensive, they present a problem for equity.

Default calculators on phones do not have an adequate means for managing fractions. Default calculators are ‘reverse logic’ which means all functions are applied to the numbers, rather than the

input reflecting how it appears on the page. For example, to evaluate sin30 a phone requires the 30 to be displayed and then the ‘sin’ function applied. A standard scientific calculator requires you to press sin, then 30. While this is a minor point, it produces regular errors when evaluating more complex expressions.

Here’s a problem to consider - This is a question taken from the 2018 General 2 HSC paper: To determine the retail price of an item, a shop owner increases its cost price by 30%. In a sale, the retail price is reduced by 30% to give the sale price. How does the sale price compare to the cost price? A. The sale price is less than the cost price. B. The sale price is the same as the cost price. C. The sale price is more than the cost price. D. It is impossible to compare without knowing the cost price. Answer will be provided next time! Enjoy.

SCIENCE & AGRICULTURE FACULTY


Natalie Death - Head Teacher In the Science and Agriculture faculty at Mount View High School, we are delighted to meet your students and begin our learning this year with them in our classes. We continually work towards engaging them in the wonders and excitement of the scientific and agricultural world. Below are a few pieces of information about activities in our faculty.

Fees are applied for consumable items including dissecting material, demonstration items and modelling material. The schedule of fees in 2019 is:- Science:

Year 7/8/9/10 $15 per year Year 11/12 $15 per year

Agriculture Year 8 $15 per year Year 9/10 $35 per year Year 11 $35 per year

VET Primary Industries (VPI) Year 11/12 $75 per year

These fees should be paid to the front office. Your student has, or will, receive information about the following policies we feel are vital to your student’s science and agricultural education. Homework in all stages will be issued frequently. The frequency will be determined by the teacher to best fit the teaching sequence and student learning needs. Targeted feedback will be issued to students to assist their learning of the content and skills. Individual teachers will notify students and parents of specific tasks and timelines for completion. Homework can consist of small investigations to more major projects including preparing information reports or speeches or conducting experiments using the scientific method. Parents will be asked to acknowledge their students’ feedback via a signature. An assessment schedule has been issued to all students. In Years 7-10 there will be an across the year assessment task each term targeting practical and problem solving skills. Each year group will have an end of Semester Two exam. The marks achieved, and other class marks (including homework tasks) will assist in the preparation of Semester Reports. Safety is of paramount concern when conducting experiments in class or on the farm. Students are required to behave in a manner that will ensure the health and safety of themselves and others in the laboratory at all times, use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as instructed, to wear enclosed footwear and to refrain from eating or drinking in the laboratory unless instructed by the teacher. Audiovisual (AV) resources are used in Science and Agriculture classes to support the teaching of the curriculum. All AV materials are previewed by staff to support the curriculum. All AV materials chosen will conform to the Department of Education’s specifications and comply with age classifications. Should you wish to discuss any of these issues further, please contact Natalie Death (Head Teacher Science and Agriculture) on 4990 2566.

TECHNICAL & APPLIED STUDIES FACULTY


Brian Means – Head Teacher In 2019, the TAS faculty will continue to offer students an array of practical subjects that will allow students to initially develop basic skills before progressing to specialisation areas of their choice which may lead to employment opportunities as they progress to post-schooling options. We have been fortunate to retain the nucleus of our established and well-credentialled staff members and it is their expertise that will provide guidance for the students in the areas of

Woodwork, Metalwork, Computing Technology, iSTEM, Engineering, Construction, Textiles, Childcare, Food Technology and Hospitality. One minor staff change has occurred through maternity leave with Linda Freeman welcoming a son in late 2018. Miss Freeman will be replaced by Miss Sarah Fredericks. Miss Fredericks specialises in the area of Textiles & Design and is keen to implement new E-Textiles components into the junior program. A major focus of the TAS Faculty this year will be the utilisation of a Laser Etcher. Mr Glover has extensive knowledge on the use of the Laser Etcher having created models, mechanical components and signage from various materials. The Laser is so finely tuned it can etch patterns onto fabrics. The TAS Faculty had solid results across the board in the 2018 HSC. Student results continue to be strong and congratulations go to those students who achieved personal bests or individual goals. Thanks also go to faculty staff members who put in extra hours to help the students with study, examination preparation, stress relief techniques or simply being there for them when they needed a chat. Due to the practical nature of our lessons, specific strict dress rules apply to meet WHS requirements. Students will be advised by their classroom teachers of these requirements as the school year begins and safety tests are completed. Assessment schedules have been provided to each student, with many practical assessment tasks being completed in class through the year. With this early notice, students will have an opportunity to plan ahead and create a nice balance between school work, sporting events and possible casual employment whilst maintaining a social life with friends and family. We welcome all new students to our faculty and wish everyone a great 2019 full of great shared learning experiences. “Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation.” Dean Kamen

F1 in Schools STEM Challenge – by Mark Bassett, F1 Coordinator

Pentessellate & Impro Racing are off to the F1 in Schools STEM Challenge National Finals The Australian F1 in Schools STEM Challenge National Finals will be held at the BOSCH Australia plant in Melbourne, Victoria on Monday – Friday 11th – 15th of March 2019. Pentessellate (who are the NSW State Champions again) and Impro Racing (2nd in NSW in the Development class division) will compete against 34 other teams from across the country. This is the first time our school will be represented by two excellent teams in the two main categories and we are wishing them every success. The past 3 months have been very busy with planning, development of ideas, analysing and testing prototypes of race cars to produce the fastest car the teams have ever designed. Pentessellate came first in the Pro-Junior division last year and will need to win the Pro-Senior division to make their dream of representing Australia in the world finals become a reality. Impro Racing have been improving daily with everything they do from designing and making an excellent pit display to working with the community to spreading the word of this challenging STEM competition with community activities. They are the school’s first iSTEM all girls team and the first female team to represent Mount View High School at this high level.

Pentessellate manager Billie Taylor has been working very hard with the team for the national competition as well as coordinating the team members with meeting their deadlines and commitments. Fei Fei Webster (Design Engineer) and Harley Patterson (Manufacturing Engineer) have been focussing on improving the car design to make it the most aerodynamic and fastest car we have ever made. Benjamin Galvin (Graphics Designer) has been designing new posters and publishing material for the team as well focusing on the social media responsibilities with Billie. Tobias Astill-King (Resource Manager) has spent many hours contacting potential sponsors by phone and email and organising resources for the competition so everything is in place and ready for the fast approaching competition dates. Recently the team visited their main sponsor Hedweld to discuss their progress and receive feedback from

their panel of experts on ways to improve. This was a tough challenge since everything is almost perfected to the best of their abilities. Pentessellate would like to thank the ME Program for their generous donation for the national competition as well as their involvement with STEM activities in the Hunter Valley.

Impro Racing have been very busy with Chloe Hunt – team manager organising a Family Fun Day at the Royal Oak Hotel and air time on ABC’s 2CHR local radio station. This was a first for our school to be on the radio promoting the competition, the team and Mount View High School’s success in STEM activities. Susan Anderson – Graphics Designer has been working hard on improving the high quality of their pit display as well as improving all of the graphics and branding for the team. Grace Frankland-Shambler has spent many hours analysing the race car design using professional air flow dynamics software as well as studying ways to improve the quality of manufacturing the vehicle. Kirsten Boesen – team mentor, has been working with the team to improve all of the design elements as well helping with everything the team does to prepare for the national finals. This amazing group of students have accepted many difficult challenges and worked their way through all of them with such high success that I would not be surprised to them on the podium at a world finals in the near future. Below are images of the team at the Family Fun Day
