Principal’s Message - Neil Schneider
Our new elective in Year 9 and Year 10 for talented sportspersons
has been a great success. In this program students undertake
advance fitness training, study healthy lifestyles, and undertake
appropriate training programmes for the sports in which they have
an interest or above average skills.
Again Casino High School has achieved outstanding results on the
sporting field. A number of our footballers have been selected in the
North Coast side to travel to Sydney to compete for State selection.
Faith Pittman recently won the U18’s Queensland Long Jump
Championships and it has been many years since a Casino High
School student has reached this level. We congratulate Faith and
wish her all the best as she travels to the NSW State Championships.
Faith is one of our talented students who has taken advantage of
our new elective Talented Athletes Program.
News article’s and photos showcasing these achievements have
been included in this newsletter for your interest.
Another successful program implemented this term is the Gifted
and Talented Year 6 to Year 7 Transition Strategy. This program
involves Year 6 students from our feeder schools who have been
eager to learn and engage in this new initiative.
On the academic front, Year 12 Half Yearly Reports and Awards are
being finalised and will be distributed before the end of term. The
expectation is that Year 12 students are back in classes and on task.
If they have gaps in their learning, which would have been
highlighted in their recent exams, they need to see their teacher
and or one of the school senior students for assistance.
An Intensive Literacy and Numeracy Program has commenced
at Casino High School. The aim is to improve the standard in these
important skills across all levels of ability. This program is across
Years 7 to 10 and we expect to see an improvement in our Naplan
and Minimum Standard test results.
The Year 10 to Year 11 subject selection process will begin early
next term and although this is a time consuming process, it is vital
to see students select subjects appropriate to their career
aspirations.

Representative Sport News
Last week we had number of students go and trial for the Northern Rivers Zone Opens and U15’s Boys Rugby
League teams.
Congratulations to Jaru Fraser, Tyrelle Roberts and Josh Stothard who were successful in gaining a spot in the
Open’s Zone team. Kirell Robinson, Jerome Sparke and Jaytan Baker were also successful in being selected for the
U15’s Zone team, congratulations. Both teams will compete at the Northern Rivers/Far North Coast Zone Trials at
Ballina this week, best of luck boys at the next level.
Congratulations to Elyce Richards who was selected in the Northern Rivers Open Girls Netball Team that competed
at the North Coast Trials in Yamba this week. Elyce is only 14 and it is a huge achievement to make an Opens team
at such a young age and compete competitively against older students. Well done Elyce!!
Congratulations are also in order for Jaru Fraser and Cory Townsend who have been selected in the North Coast
Open Boys Rugby Team to compete at the NSW State Championships in May at Sydney. The boys were selected
after attending the trials this week in Grafton. Well done boys!!!
Sporting Success Outside of School
We have a number of students who are achieving great things outside of school hours in their chosen sports. It is
fantastic to see our students excelling and representing at such a high level.
Congratulations to Faith Pittman who after competing at the QLD State Athletics
Championships recently was named the U18 State Champion for Long Jump.
This is a massive achievement for Faith especially given that she is only turning
16 this year and competed against older top ranking athletes.
Congratulations to Nicholas Pickett who won gold at the Sydney International Judo
Championships in the Special Needs category. Nicholas trains very hard and puts in
100% effort each time he takes to the Judo mat. This result has now qualified
Nicholas for the National Championships to be held in June at Carrara on the Gold
Coast . Well done Nicholas!!

Swimming Results
Northern Rivers Swimming Carnival
Casino High School had six students represent the school in Lismore at the Northern Rivers Swimming Carnival in
Lismore recently and they came away with some tremendous results. Indigo Creighton, Kalani Ellis, and Lorenzo
de Gregorio were awarded Northern Rivers Zone Age Champions. This is such a wonderful achievement and it is
great to see Casino High School students excelling in the pool not just in one specialist event but many events. The
following students went on to qualify for the North Coast Swimming Carnival at Murwillumbah:
Indigo Creighton - 200m Freestyle, 100m Freestyle, 100m Breaststroke, 100m Backstroke, 50m Freestyle, and

Lorenzo de Gregorio - 100m Freestyle, 100m Breaststroke, 100m Backstroke, 50m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly,

The competition proved to be much tougher at the North Coast Swimming Carnival in Murwillumbah with students
from Tweed Heads to Port Macquarie competing. Xailyn Ellis was up against it in her age group with some top
quality swimmers but did herself and the school proud by finishing not far off the pace in the top five.
Congratulations to the following students for qualifying for multiple events at the State Championships to be held
in Sydney in early April:
Indigo Creighton - 5 events

Lorenzo de Gregorio - 4 events
We wish you all the best!!
