HEALTH CAREERS PROGRAM Health Career Academy Program

On Thursday 13th June, students from Years 9-12 who have an interest in pursuing a health related

career, were extremely fortunate to be involved in the first Health Career Academy Program for

Orange. The University of Sydney, School of Rural Health, which has a campus at Bloomfield and

in Dubbo, hosted the event which gave students an insight into the varied health careers and

the numerous options within the health sector.

The day started at Dudley Private Hospital where students were treated to a behind the scenes

tour of the hospital and presentations from the CEO, a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist

and nursing staff. There was ample opportunity to ask many questions about each of the roles,

their interrelationship and the health system in general.

The next stop was Orange Aboriginal Medical Service where students were offered a full access

tour of the facilities and discussed associated job opportunities with dental staff .

Moving to the School of Rural Health Bloomfield Campus for lunch and the afternoon, students

mixed with university students and staff, working through four practical workshops. They had the

opportunity to practice CPR with a mechanical dummy which indicated their chance of saving

the life of their casualty based on their technique including their compression placement, depth

and speed. Testing each other’s blood glucose levels and blood pressure was a highlight with

one of the most disturbing and eye opening sessions of the day being the handwashing

workshop where we realised just how hard it is to clean your hands properly and how easily

germs are spread.

Some students finished the day with reassurance of the importance of their chosen health

pursuits and others were inspired to consider careers that were not even on the radar prior to this

experience.

An enormous thank you to Kathryn Naden from School of Rural Health for coordinating the

academy, and to the health professionals for their the generosity and professionalism, sharing

their experiences and facilities with our students.

Miss Morrissey and Miss Penberthy were extremely impressed with the enthusiasm and conduct

of all students on the day. All were wonderful advocates for our school who we would be

privileged to see in the future in allied health services.

EDUCATION PERFECT

Fantastic effort Felicity!

Congratulations to Year 11 Big Picture student, Felicity Van Doorn who received first place in the

Waste 2 Art Community Functional category for her loom knitted, baling twine, pink scarf. All

term Felicity has been leaving the Big Picture advisory every Wednesday to go out and work with

the kind, caring and clever women of the Orange Women’s Shed. Such an opportunity has

helped Felicity work on her service learning as well as increase her communication skills and self

confidence. Together with the women, Felicity helped revamp a coffee table and three chairs

with colourful baling twine as well as creating her funky pink scarf for “Mah – tool – dah” to wear

as she stands guard and watches over the vegie patch and welcomes the women to the shed

every week.

NEWS FROM BIG PICTURE

Earlier this year, a total of 24 students auditioned for the combined dance

ensemble and Aboriginal dance ensemble as part of the 2019 Schools

Spectacular. They were filmed with 12 students in each group and the

videos were sent off at the end of Term 1.

Miss Lee is very excited to announce that

both groups were successful with 12

students in the combined dance being

accepted and 8 from the Aboriginal

ensemble!

Both groups will be travelling down to

Sydney for a week in November. They will

be rehearsing with students from across

the state and perform three shows at

Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney Olympic

Park.

A massive congratulations to all of

the students who auditioned. We

will now be fundraising and

eventually begin learning some of

the choreography as part of the

show!

The NSW Premier's Sporting Challenge is a 10 week physical activity challenge for students

and staff. NSW Public Schools are invited to participate in a 10 week physical activity

challenge period which aims to have more students, more active, more often. This term,

students will participate in the Premier’s Sporting Challenge. The 10 week challenge requires

students to participate in and record their physical activity for each day. Physical activity isn't

just about being fit, it's about building resilience, improving concentration, and

supporting overall health and wellbeing. During this time students will be encouraged to

support each other to complete fitness events which will help to build a sense of unity and

community.

As part of the challenge, the PDHPE Faculty will be running the Premier’s Sporting

Challenge Years 7-10 GET ACTIVE DAY here at Canobolas on Friday 28th June.

All students in Years 7-10 will be involved. Year 12 students will be excluded due to HSC Trial

Examinations and Year 11 students will also be excluded due to the Life Ready Coursework.

Thirty students who have been actively part of our Premier’s Sporting Challenge (PSC) Sport

Leadership Program will be running the activities throughout the day alongside PDHPE staff. The

GET ACTIVE DAY will primarily be focused on safe, fun and positive participation in physical

activity as well as a boost in school spirit and both staff and student morale.

Students will be encouraged to wear their house colours and staff to wear active attire on the

day. Students will participate in modified activities involving cricket, softball, hockey, touch

football, hockey, netball and basketball.

Looking forward to a great day!

On Wednesday 12th June 2019, a group of students travelled to Geurie to

GIRLS ACADEMY NEWS

IGA Homeless Lunch

On Tuesday 18 June Girls Academy students Bindi

Hines, Karlee Bell, Kira-Lea Welsh and Lateisha

Williams assisted once again with preparing and

serving hot and cold drinks for IGA’s weekly lunch

feeding the less fortunate, held in the Country

Women’s Association building.

Beef stroganoff served on a bed of rice warmed

the souls. While the usual tea, coffee and hot

chocolates were on the menu, milkshakes were

surprisingly the treat of the day for most clients

even on a chilly 9o C day.

The student’s presence was obviously missed

since their first visit back in Week 4 of this term

with many asking when the girls would be back. One gentlemen brought along his own keep

cup to head home with a piping hot Cappuccino.

Asking the girls what they enjoyed about the day one student stated “I liked today because we

got to interact with different people and we also got to try new things and help make

milkshakes”.

Always a pleasure to get involved with community events and to see such big smiles from both

our students and patrons. We look forward to next term with three more visits planned.

Painting with Hayden

This week saw the girls progress to working on a draft painting on MDF with the assistance of

Hayden. Shayna Ramage and Chey O’Neill put to practice what they have learnt so far this

term.

This session was great practice for the girls to utilize the techniques for handling the paint brushes

and the pressure needed for fading paint colors into one another.

Next lesson will see the girls starting on their own masterpieces.

Canobolas Girls Academy

Last week six Canobolas students, were involved in a Chess tutoring afternoon with Orange East

Primary School. The afternoon was organised between the two schools to help prepare the

primary school students for the upcoming primary interschool championship, a competition

Orange East has won the intermediate section of in the past.

The current intermediate team, as well as some of the up and coming junior team members

really enjoyed the afternoon of higher level chess, with local chess instructor Mr Joe Cummins

believing the level of chess played by the students was enhanced by games against the more

experienced players.

The Canobolas chess players wish the Orange East teams the best of luck as they compete

against teams from other primary schools in the area next term, and we look forward to a

possible rematch in the future.

Chess the clever sport

NEW BOOKS IN THE STEM CENTRE

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the

personal recollections and experiences of

Lale Sokolov. Lale told his story to the

book’s author over the course of three

years. He became the “tattooist” of

Auschwitz and Birkenau, which gave him

freedom of movement, more rations and

better conditions. He was able to barter

possessions of those who died in the gas

chambers for food and medicine. Lale was a

generous man and was able to provide for

many. This story is a moving testament to

the power of resilience and, most of all, to

the power of love.
