Tumut High School Term 1

Issued 8th April 2022

Respect, Responsibility, Safety

Principal's Message

Here we are at the the end of Term 1 and I  would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new staff to Tumut High School and to  acknowledge all non-teaching and teaching staff who are back again for 2022.

We are again confronted with a large turnover of staff as the school and department deal with staff retirements, staff shortages and staff seeking alternative pathways in their life journeys. The list below attempts to collate the new teaching staff joining us in 2022.

Our new staff have not only expressed their excitement about joining the THS Staff team but have been glowing in their appreciation for the support they have received from staff at the school and from others within our community. 

So it is my pleasure to welcome, in no particular order the following staff;

  • In Maths we have Mathew Zuzek and Chelsea Jacobson (Chelsea also did spend Term 4 of 2021 with us)
  • In CAPA we have, Michael Mitchell (Drama), Maddie Sing (Visual Arts) and Oden Britt (Music)
  • In TAS we have India Burden (Agriculture and Mandatory Technology)
  • In PDHPE we have Melissa Weston and Christian Lotter 
  • In HSIE we have Keira Hayden
  • In English we have Sally Cox 
  • In Wellbeing we have Alex Tobin taking on the Student Support Officer (SSO) full time position as well as Jenna Broadfoot and Gemma Pearce involved as  Part Time Temporary SSO’s. We also have Maddie Hibbert and Molly Manns joining up with our other amazing Student Mentors.

 

It would seem 2022 is throwing as many ‘curve balls’ at us that occurred in 2020 and 2021. So what do we learn from the last 2 years that we can take into another year of uncertainty?

In 2020 the bushfires raised wellbeing concerns for many within our community. We learnt quickly how significant community wide events can be on the mental health and wellbeing of our students and staff. Wellbeing of staff and students was a priority then and continues to be at the centre of decision making from the beginning of the pandemic up until where we are now in 2022.

Educationally our system has needed to adapt to lockdowns and remote learning.  It’s so important to acknowledge how ALL teaching and non-teaching staff have been innovative and progressive in how they have contributed to dealing with issues we have needed to confront. Our students have benefited from this in how they cope with building resilience.   

Term 1 has had its disruptions with high rates of staff and student absences, however, the lessons learnt from the previous two years has allowed the school to provide a certain level of continuity of learning.

A reminder to our community that we have a school plan which focuses on student achievement, tracking student growth, continuity of learning, teacher professional learning and wellbeing of students and community. This plan was progressed last year and will continue to give us a focus on how we continue to impact on student outcomes. We will continue to analysis our data with an acceptance of its problematic nature. We will continue to focus on our School Plan but acknowledge that uncertainty will continue to plague our system and is likely to affect our ability to achieve everything we want for our students.

Finally, just as we have done over the last two years, we will be here for our students. Ultimately, our year will be judged on how well we understood and keep true to the school’s visions statements of;

- Fostering independent, creative and critical thinkers for lifelong learning

- Supporting the social and emotional development of resilient and responsible individuals

- Equipping students to be informed, active and responsible community members

- Providing an inclusive learning environment that caters for the needs of all students

Congratulations to our long serving staff at Tumut High

Good luck to staff from 2021 moving on

"Tumut High School fosters independent, creative and critical thinkers for lifelong learning"

Welcome back students to THS for 2022! We have already had some amazing achievements in Term 1. I know there will be a lot more opportunities for success throughout the year. 

Thanks to our dedicated and supportive staff, students are able to foster independence and become creative and critical thinkers for lifelong learning through the many opportunities THS offers.

Our school caters for a variety of interests, allowing students to build confidence and continually improve themselves in their passions whether it be chess, drama, writing or sport.

The range of courses available for students challenges our minds to analytically think and respond to different questions and activities in and outside the classroom. Having so many pathways presented to us like school based traineeships and distance education show us no limits to continuity of learning.

Being apart of the SRC at Tumut High has allowed me to learn how to be a leader and be a critical thinker when organising fundraisers and supporting important organisations within our community. Undertaking a course through distance education has also fostered independence with my learning and I would like to encourage all our students to research options at Tumut High that they are interested in.

"Tumut High School supports the social and emotional development of resilient and responsible individuals"

I hope new and returning students of THS have felt welcomed for Term 1.

I would like to let all our new students know there is support at THS to help you with finding friends and taking part in opportunities that you are interested in. Teachers, support staff and senior students are always available to assist with you feeling like you belong at Tumut High.

Tumut High School endeavours to support students to develop emotionally and socially strong  individuals, promoting resilience and responsibility within their mindsets. Throughout my time at Tumut High School I have gained the skills and capacity to be a resilient and responsible student, community member and family member.

The support that can be found in teachers and other staff at THS has been integral in this learning process for me. Being resilient in both a social and academic setting is important and Tumut High has influenced me in such a way that has allowed me to do both. 

By receiving academic and social feedback from teachers and peers THS has allowed me to be productive in my resilience, by changing my actions and approach to work and social settings I have been able to become a more responsible learner and friend.

I hope my fellow peers seek support when they need it.

By Abbey Taylor

"Tumut High School equips students to be informed, active and responsible community members"

I would like to welcome to Tumut High School new and returning parents and carers for 2022. It is great to be in a community where there are many opportunities for us all to be involved with and embrace learning both at school and in our community.

Tumut High School fosters values in students to be informed, active and responsible  community members. Our Principal and Teachers all support us in promoting and encouraging us to be ethical community members with many learning activities happening at THS. 

I can say Tumut High School has equipped me with lifelong skills and strengths to be involved in my community. THS has guided me to be an informed, active and responsible member of our community by encouraging me to come out of my comfort zone, to be a more confident person and to be able to take part in community activities.

Tumut High School has also allowed me to gain the strength of being responsible. I have grown into a more responsible person with my actions in and out of school. I have had the opportunity to participate in the Anzac Day March which has made me more active in being involved in our community.  I am grateful Tumut High has allowed me to develop these important skills for my life in the future beyond school. 

I think all of us should look around for something in our community to be involved with and proud of.

"Tumut High School provides and inclusive learning environment that caters for the needs of all students"

Tumut High School provides an inclusive learning environment that caters for the needs of every student within the school.

There are many new and returning support services available at THS.

This year we see more student support officers introduced within the school to assist with students engagement at school and in class.

We are so fortunate to have four student mentors that are here to assist students in everyday schooling matters. These mentors: Molly Manns, Maddie Hibbert, Drew Beavan and Kyle Contessa offer one on one support as well as group support.

Having the Clontarf Foundation at Tumut High run by Chappy and Chicka aims to help provide an inclusive and supportive environment for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The Foundation is having a huge positive impact on many of our students.

Tumut High School focuses heavily on the wellbeing of students throughout their schooling and the Wellbeing Hub focuses on providing access to community services outside the school.

All these support services are available to all students within the school to help support both them and their learning. Among these support services, THS offers many other extra-curricular activities to help foster a sense of belonging.

There are many sporting teams and activities offered throughout the year giving students an opportunity to belong to a team and mix with students from other years. There are also many clubs being run such as the chess, drama or writing club for any students interested.

There is a Student Representative Council (SRC) for students wanting to be more involved within the school and want to see positive changes occur. There is also a student-run Batyr school group that focuses on a student lead approach to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

Overall THS aims to provide many extra-curricular activities and support services for all students in hopes to create an environment that caters for the needs of everyone. 

Don't forget myself and Captains Gemma, Keely and Abbey are always here if needed.

PBL = Positive Behaviour for Learning

We are a Positive Behaviour for Learning school and our values are respect, responsibility and safety. 

Students are encouraged at Tumut High to be polite, care for people and property and follow instructions. Students are motivated in class to be prepared, allow others to learn, actively participate and be at the right place at the right time. Students should always be careful and follow procedures.

During Term 1, once a week, a mini lesson was presented by teachers to students focusing on one of our values. Students who demonstrated these values during class time were given an early mark to recess.

These values of respect, responsibility and safety - can be applied to all settings including when students are not at school over the holidays.

Careers at THS

Year 12 students were treated to personal attention from Kristen representing Charles Sturt University at a presentation in our Resource Centre on 11th March. Students learnt all about CSU campuses, courses, early entry processes, accommodation and scholarships.

Year 11 and Year 12 students then enjoyed a beautiful sunny day at the Charles Sturt University (CSU) Explore Day on 22nd March. Students were able to participate in course sessions and learn about the CSU facilities and support services.

Year 8 Biography Resource Centre Display

What a great display put up in the Resource Centre by our Year 8 ALP students in presenting their assessments for a unit of study titled 'Learning for Life'.



Students spent the term focusing on an inspirational individual and applying their learning from the whole term in regards to character traits and what we can learn from their chosen inspirational individual. This task was a summary for students to tie together their findings. 

More details on this learning for Year 8 can be found in the 8ALP Google Classroom.


Resource Centre News

  • English classes from Years 7-9 have a scheduled library lesson once a fortnight where they have the opportunity to re-borrow, borrow or change their 'Reading for Pleasure' text. During this time the Teacher Librarian clarifies borrowings and chases up overdues. 
  • There is also a new procedure where email notification is sent to students and their family with visuals of resources to prompt return of very overdue resources. We appreciate the support of carers to help students to take responsibility for the safe return of library books and encourage them to treat these resources with respect. Students are provided with a clear snap lock bag to avoid damage (especially from water bottles in bags) when they choose to continue reading their books at home.
  • Staff in the Resource Centre are committed to creating a positive reading culture at Tumut High School as the benefits of reading are well documented to improve literacy results and more. (See document attached below.) 
  • Pictured are Naeola, Selena-Rose and Jazmine in Year 8 with the 'Student Book Request' book. Students are taking advantage of this book and writing in titles that they would like to read that we do not have in our collection. Librarian Mrs Stiles, then orders the requested books. The Resource Centre is making an effort to prioritise student driven collection development so that there are even more books that students like.

The link between reading and future success

"Students who are highly engaged in a wide range of reading activities are more likely than other students to be effective learners and to perform well at school. Research also documents a strong link between reading practices, motivation and proficiency among adults. Proficiency in reading is crucial for individuals to make sense of the world they live in and to continue learning throughout their lives"

Student stories and Student successes

Voice Coaching Workshop

Year 11 Drama/Music students Ruby McSweeney and Annika Casey were privileged to attend a voice coaching workshop with former Wiggle, Sam Moran. They were each required to perform a song of their choice and received one-on-one coaching, where Sam addressed their vocal strengths and gave valuable tips on how they could improve their performances. He also educated the girls on methods of breathing, delivery and voice projection.

Of their voices, Sam commented that Annika had "wonderful jazz tones" and Ruby's voice "possessed great storytelling qualities". Both Ruby and Annika came away from the experience with greater knowledge and confidence in their vocal abilities.

What a great opportunity for the girls!

SRC fundrasing success

On Friday, 1st April our SRC hosted a fundraiser for Riding for the Disabled Association Tumut Branch.

Students were allowed to wear mufti clothes with a gold coin donation and red and purple clothing was popular to recognise the RDA organisation.

The SRC also made and sold drink spiders to go towards the $300 that was raised.

Well done THS. 

Congratulations Amitiel

Amitiel Booby in Year 7 was busy this term raising awareness and money for ‘Shave for a Cure’  with the Leukaemia Foundation.

Amitiel said she wanted to do this fundraiser as she didn’t like seeing people left out of things because they have cancer. Amitiel wants people with cancer to fit in and feel comfortable. She said 'shaving my hair was easy and I am so grateful to everyone that donated and has helped me raise over $6000 to give cancer patients a life changing experience.

Amitiel also thanked Tumut High SRC for supporting her as well with a sausage sizzle and drink spiders at school.

We are very proud of your community involvement Amitiel.

Chess at THS

Tumut High School’s Chess Club is back! The club has been meeting weekly with organiser Ms Noordermeer and has students involved from all years. THS Chess Club members have access to lessons, games and puzzles and members have been progressing through the lessons to improve their game. New and beginner players are always welcome to attend workshops, which are put on the notices and if interested in playing, join the club!

Melodie King-Neville has progressed to Queen level and Timothy Rosser to the level of Knight. To continue building member knowledge and skills, this term the members of the Chess Club hosted workshops for the members to improve their knowledge and skills in the game and to introduce the game to beginner players. Melodie presented a workshop on ‘The special move: “Castling”!’. 

Jack Fisher has been a valuable member and has been helping introduce the game to new beginner players and the Club’s senior players, Chad Smuts, Jacob Smart, Alisha Bulger- Webb and Ashleigh Oriel have been taking charge with setting and packing up. Interest in the game is growing and the club is seeking to purchase new equipment to accommodate the growing demand.

This term the Chess Club has enjoyed many exciting games in the Resource Centre. Heath Whatman enjoyed an exhilarating game against Melodie and using a tournament clock for the first time, had a fast paced and exciting game against Chad. In a fight to the end, Timothy and myself ended in a Stalemate. My next game was another intense battle against Will.

The THS Chess Club environment is often buzzing with excitement as members discuss their games and those looking on the game have been getting equally involved in these discussions. 

Congratulations to our THS Chess Team who were victorious defeating Wagga Wagga High in Round 1 of the NSW Junior Chess League Competition. Our team was Chad (Yr 11), Melodie (Yr 10), and Year 8 boys William and Heath. They played gracefully and respectfully and had a fun day out. Well done team. Thank you to Chess Coach Ms Noordermeer who is so proud of these students.

Playing in Wagga was our first tournament for the year and it was great to win. In my match I made a daring attempt to win the last game and I pulled off a stunning move with my Queen and rook making sure the nerves didn’t get to me. Heath’s game went on for a long 30 minutes before he won. Melodie’s game was a tough one. Chad also won his game and we made new friends with our opponents. 

We would like to thank our Chess Coach and Co-ordinator Ms Noordermeer for having Chess at Tumut High and encouraging us all to be better players.
