From the Principal......

Our junior debating team, under the

management of Mr Jim Rourke returned to

Wingham High with a resounding victory over

St Claire’s recently. I feel that they were at a

distinct advantage over their opponents

however as they had to argue against ‘that

Australians prefer to watch rather than

participate’. Read on and you will see what I

mean....

ANZAC HONOUR….

Nick Thompson Shawn Sullivan Freya Mudie

Tahlia Collins

A more moving ceremony in a school could

not have been experienced than the

Wingham High School ANZAC ceremony held

on the last day of term 1 in the MPC. The

ceremony, organised by Jenny McPhan (HT

History), chaired by our captains Freya Mudie

and Nick Thompson and included members of

the community. Awards were presented by

Mr Eric Richardson to Ailie MacKenzie and

Britany Wallace for their ANZAC essays

Tyler Frankcombe carries the flag

Mr Paul Ivers Mrs Kim Dixon Mr Mark Thomson

Nick and Freya had the honour of being guest

speakers at the dawn service (Nick) and later

town service (Freya). Their heartfelt and

personal addresses were widely

acknowledged as adding a new dimension to

each service. Wingham High School was also

represented by 35 students and many staff

who marched from the

town green to the town

hall.

ATHLETE’S FEAT The

annual school athletics

carnival was held on the

school oval recently after

being postponed by wet

weather. While it was a

heavy track all events were

able to continue and many students got into

the spirit by wearing their house colours.

Murray Doust and Dave Jonas did a great job

of organising the day encouraging maximum

participation by all students. A big thankyou

goes to general assistant Terry Broadbent for

his preparation of the

grounds and patience with the weather.

Page 4: WINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL · community event and hearing more about it in the next newsletter. There are many other opportunities that students have participated in such as Tennis, Rugby

The BBQ run by the SRC was a popular

location around lunch time for both staff and

students. There are further events to be

completed before the house results are

known and the age champions are

announced. A great time was had by all.

NAPLAN Following straight on from athletics

for the body were athletics of the mind in the

form of the national literacy and numeracy

tests (NAPLAN). These were well organised by

Kay Frankcombe (relieving HT English)and

Cassie Portelli (HT Maths) with minimal

disruption to the rest of the school allowing

all year 7 & 9 students to focus completely on

the tests. Thank you to the staff who

supervised and to Jenny Sedgwick (STLA) who

coordinated students who required special

provisions or alternative rooms.

ROYAL SHOW OFFS By now I am sure you

would have seen the great photo and article

on the front page of the Wingham Chronicle

championing the fantastic results our show

team achieved at the Sydney Royal Easter

Show. The students deserved these results as

they have been working long and hard at

preparing the animals and themselves for this

big event. I would like to acknowledge all the

volunteers who also contribute to the Ag farm

and to transporting the animals and students

to each of the events. Ag teacher Charlie

Cassell’s many hours of work in organising the

trip to Sydney is much appreciated

particularly by the students themselves.

Grant Coleman, manager of the Wingham

abattoirs, travelled to Sydney, purchased our

prize winning steer at auction and then

donated it back to the school in cryovac

packaging for sale. All funds from this will be

put back into the show team for next year’s

events.

BEEF WEEK Beef week is underway as this

edition of the newsletter is being published.

Many of our local Primary schools visited the

farm to participate in a series of activities

highlighting the learning opportunities on

offer at Wingham High School in Agriculture.

Preparation of beef cattle for showing and

parading, judging, animal care, horse care,

and food production are just a few of the

activities presented by Wingham students. I

look forward to being a part of this annual

community event and hearing more about it

in the next newsletter.

There are many other opportunities that

students have participated in such as Tennis,

Rugby League, Touch Football, Short Story

Writing Eisteddfod, SRC Day, Environmental

Awareness and Landcare, Love Bites that are

reported on in this newsletter.

Year Speak

Year 7 Perspective by 7 Lennon

This term year 7 has been quite busy.

Year 7 showing the way…. At the end of last

term our lovely year advisers Mr Smith and

Mrs Harrell organised a morning tea for all the

year 7 students that weren’t on a level. The

students thought all the food was delicious

and it was enjoyed by all. Thanks!!!

Week 3 was a busy week with the athletics

carnival followed by the NAPLAN Tests.

Being year 7’s first athletic carnival everyone

got into the spirit and wore house colours.

Congratulations to Parkes who won over all. A

great day was had by all.

Congratulations to:

Jai Slaven winning the 12 year boys 100m,

200m and shot put.

David Gillian winning the 13 year boys long

jump.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we had

our NAPLAN. On Tuesday we sat our Language

Conventions and Writing, Wednesday we sat

the Reading and on Thursday we had our

numeracy test. Everyone was relieved on

Thursday when we walked out of the hall

knowing we had no more NAPLAN for another

2 years.

In week 4 we have our HVP and Hep B

immunisations.

Year 7s favourite subjects are Personal

Development Health Physical Education,

Mandatory Tech and STAR because we get to

talk on occasions.

Year 8 have commenced paying for their

camp to be held in Term 4 and are also

working on good behaviour to staying off level

cards so they will be able to attend.

8 DEBATING EISTEDDFOD VICTORY! Alex

Menser and Liah Brooks The Year 8 Wingham

High School Debating Team, consisting of Alex

Menser, Jorg Sumpner-Johnston, Darcy Byrne

and Liah Brooks, competed in the Taree and

District Eisteddfod Debating competition. The

initial heats were on Wednesday the 4th at

the manning Entertainment Centre. In the

semi-finals the topic was ‘School canteens

should only seel healthy food.’ They were on

the affirmative side for the debate against

Bulahdelah. The debate was very close and

both teams did very well with the Wingham

team winning by the slightest of margins. This

put them in the finals. On Thursday the 12th

they competed in the finals against Saint

Claire's on the topic ‘Australians would rather

watch than participate.’ They were the

Negative. Once again it was a close run with

Wingham taking the win with a score of 269

out of 300 only beating Saint Claire's by 4

points.

Year 9 students Ailie MacKenzie and Annie

Rourke along with their English class and

3,000 other students entered short stories in

the “Write Now” section of the Sydney

Writers Festival. Both girls wrote stories

involving horror and mystery and gained

Highly Commended awards for their efforts.

Year 10 Have had a successful work

experience and are now working towards

their exams in two weeks. All Drama students

participated in the eisteddfod and gained

valuable experience and praise for their

efforts.

Year 11 On Monday 16th May all of the year

11 attended a talk from Red Cross

Representative Teresa Atkins. It was

informative and students are now ready and

willing to donate bold to those in need. Half

yearly exams are commencing Monday 23rd

and end the following Monday. Good luck

Year 11.

The sizes and nicknames are being finalised

for next year’s jerseys. The cost is $80.00 and

a deposit is necessary before Friday 26th May.

YEAR 11 BIOLOGY – BONNY HILLS

EXCURSION – Mr John Hawkins

The annual Bonny Hills Biology field trip was

undertaken by enthusiastic year 11 Biology

students. Perfect weather was conducive to a

very productive day at the sea. Mr and Mrs

Hawkins ran the fieldtrip with the help of

chief lifeguards, Mr John Surtees and Mrs

Gilbert.

Students were studying the ecological

relationships found on rock platforms as part

of their Preliminary HSC Course.

2011 MODEL UNITED NATIONS

ASSEMBLY Local Yr 11 Wingham students,

Zac Rayson and David Cowley from Wingham

High, were among the 78 students who

participated in Rotary’s Model United Nations

2011 held in Woolgoolga 13-15 May. The

students were sponsored to attend by the

Rotary Club of Wingham and did Wingham

proud.

Zac and David were the delegates from Israel.

They had to use their acting skills, humour

and serious argument to win over others to

their points of view on a range of global

issues. The students were on their feet

numerous times to argue their country’s

views on everything from religious freedoms

to assistance for developing countries.

Woolgoolga High School Hall was decked out

with the flags of over 100 countries for the big

event and student delegates came dressed in

national dress and ready for an argument or

two. The hall was abuzz with couriers

transferring diplomatic notes (and bribes for

votes) and the “military police” had to step in

on the odd occasion and make some arrests!

The Assembly voted Irish delegate Abigail

McMahon from Melville High in Kempsey and

Zimbabwean delegate Jessica Duncan from

Calrossy Anglican School in Tamworth as best

individual delegates. The Iran team from

Woolgoolga High was voted best country

team and the Japan team from St Columba

Anglican School in Port Macquarie won best

national costume.

The real

Australian

Ambassador

to the UN in

New York,

His

Excellency,

Gary

Quinlan,

welcomed

the students

via a DVD

message and

students

travelled to

Woolgoolga

from as far afield as Wauchope, Narrabri,

Coonabarabran, Taree, Tamworth, Kempsey,

Port Macquarie, Inverell, Quirindi, Gunnedah

and Coffs Harbour as well as Wingham.

Year 12 One of the highlights of the athletics

carnival was the boot throwing which year 12

ran as part of their fundraising. If it was

anything to go by this will become an annual

event.

On Courage to Care Excursion Wednesday

the 23rd of March Year 10 and 11 History

students arrived in Gloucester to attend the

Courage to Care presentation and exhibit.

Courage to Care is an educational program

supported by a travelling exhibition and social

tolerance program.

Courage to Care was presented at the

Gloucester Art Gallery during the month of

March. Our Wingham High School students

were privileged to participate in three

activities, which included listening to a

Holocaust survivor, viewing a DVD and

viewing items. Each venue was hosted by

Courage to Care historians and speakers.

Courage to Care inspires visitors to realise

that they as individuals, can make a

difference. Students were encouraged to ask

questions and reflect on their own personal

values.

Wingham Environmental Body

MR J ROURKE WEB is a group of students

who are keen to see positive changes to the

environment both at Wingham High School

and in the local community. They meet every

Friday afternoon during school sport.

The first project that they have taken on is to

increase recycling in the playground. Using

funds from a NSW government eco-schools

grant awarded last year, they plan to

purchase recycling bins which will be placed

strategically around the school. An education

campaign involving messages in rolls, posters

and announcements at assembly is also

underway to encourage students to recycle

and to avoid using non-recyclable materials.

They have launched a competition for

students to design a logo for the group. The

winning design will, it is hoped, be printed

onto stickers to place on the new bins. WEB

has also commenced a blog which may be

viewed by all students and staff to inform

them of latest developments.

Another project that the group would like to

undertake is bush regeneration of the

junction of the Manning River and Cedar Party

Creek, which is located on the school’s farm.

This is an area of great natural beauty which is

suffering from invasion of potato vine, castor

oil plant, lantana and other weeds. Kim

Gollan, from Dingo Creek Rainforest Nursery,

visited the site with the group last Friday and

advised them on how to best tackle the

problem.

This Friday Kirsty Hughes, from Midcoast

Water, will be training the group how to test

water quality. Samples will be taken from the

Manning River adjacent to the wharf in front

of Wingham Brush. She will be returning in

early July to assist the group in testing

samples from Cedar Party Creek, which

should make for interesting comparisons.

The group is keen to make links with the

wider community. If you have any ideas you

would like to share or if you would like to

support the group in any way, please contact

Mr Jim Rourke. Donations of materials or

money for purchase of trees, gardening

equipment etc would be most gratefully

received.

YEAR 11 AGRICULTURE DAIRY FARM VISIT – MR JOHN HAWKINS Students studying the

Preliminary Agriculture Course visited Gary Yarnold at Killawarra to undertake the first part of their

case study farm experience.

These students involved themselves in milking and then completed an extensive worksheet. Gary

kept them all laughing with jokes and made it a great learning experience particularly for students

from Taree and Chatham High Schools and our exchange student, Lavinia Morof.

Macquarie on 6th May. Their behaviour and

sportsmanship were exemplary. It is indeed a

pleasure to take away such a wonderful group

of young people.

TOUCH REPORT – Morgo Wingham High

students excel on the Touch field once more!

Firstly, Mrs Ferguson and I would like to

congratulate all students in our Year 9/10

boys and girls teams on their efforts in the

Boy’s results:-

V/S – St Columbus 7 – 0 win Wingham

V/S – Taree 2- 1 win Wingham

V/S – Chatham 2 8 - 1 win Wingham

V/S – Chatham 1 3 – 2 win Semi-

Final

V/S – St Pauls 5 – 2 win Final

The boys have now qualified for the State

Championships at Penrith on 3rd June. It was a

great all-round effort from all the boys in our

squad and with continued commitment to

training we will travel to Sydney to give it our

best shot.

Girl’s results:-

St Columbus 8 – 0 win Wingham

Taree 6 – 3 win Wingham

Chatham 2 12 - 0 win Wingham

St Clare’s 1 – 3 narrowly

defeated

From the girls results you can see we went

close to achieving a rare double. Hopefully if

these teams stick together our success when

they reach the senior years seems assured.

Once again from Mrs Ferguson and Mr

Morgan, congratulations and you can

definitely be proud of your efforts on the day.

Well done – played strong. TOCAL FIELD DAYS This year 50 students from the Show Team and Ag

classes attended Tocal Field Days on April 29th.

The students were able to view many local and interstate exhibitors. The main focus of the day was

to experience the variety of Agricultural and support industries available to producers.

This was a very popular excursion and all involved vowed to return next year. Mr Hawkins would like

to thank the students involved in all the excursions for their mature behaviour in a very public area.

all students to realise their potential as a

member of the school community. We will be

Hi Everyone Welcome back to a new term.

Hope you have all settled in now for the

school year. The year is going fast, we are

already half way through this term.

The Anzac Day service is something the school

should be proud of. It was a great service and

our school leaders as usual did a wonderful

job of running the assembly.

Term 2 has begun and Lynda has done the

menus for Terms 2 & 3. There have been

some price rises although only small. Our

food in the canteen is very affordable for all

to enjoy throughout the school. The Hot

Chocolate is now available again for the next

two terms. The extra stove is working well

and being used to make all the extra foods.

Many thanks to Mr Matt Watson for installing

the stove and also to Mr Dave Irvine for

adjusting the shelves in the room to enable

the stove to be installed.

Canteen Day is on again in June and we have

set our date for Tuesday 28 June. We are

looking to do some interesting things for

Canteen Day once again. This is a good time

to promote the foods available in the

canteen.

We have a new Treasurer for the P & C. Mrs

Therese Hopkins has kindly taken on the role

of treasurer. Many thanks go to Mrs Liz Jarvis

who has been our treasurer for several years

and has been a hard worker and a great

support to the P & C.

at Nabiac Primary School on Saturday 28 May

2011, this was to be at 2pm but has been

brought forward to 12.30pm. All are welcome

Team for all of the ribbons they received at

the Royal Easter Show. All of your hard work

has been rewarded.

bus has been set for Tuesday 9 August 2011 at

the school MPC.

The Volunteers Luncheon has been set for

Friday 18 November 2011. So all volunteers
