MENTONE GIRLS’ SECONDARY COLLEGE NEWSLETTEr Available online at http://www.mgsc.vic.edu.au/ Edition 8 | 28 May 2015 Principal’s Report The middle week of this term was incredibly busy, and many teachers and students are really pressed for time to complete work. However, the activities that did occur were excellent, and well worth the disruption. On Wednesday 19th May the teachers had a professional development day that focused on our Instructional Model and use of ICT to enhance teaching and learning. The sessions were all run using the expertise we have within the school except for a couple of wellbeing sessions where we had an outside facilitator. We are really fortunate to have such an accomplished and dedicated staff who are always ready to continue their own learning. House Music Competition was a highlight of the week, with Kenny being the overall winner of the perpetual trophy. All houses enthusiastically participated and the student leaders must be congratulated on their organisation, rehearsal and performance on the day. We have some very talented musicians in the school, and the music teachers, under Ms Anna Berlingeri, all assisted to make the day a success. For most adults, the adolescent years occupy a significant place in our memories. Give an adult a series of random prompts and cues, and odds are he or she will recall a disproportionate number of memories from adolescence. Memories from the ages of 15 to 25 are vividly retained. No matter how old you are, the music you listen to for the rest of your life is probably dominated by what you listened to when you were an adolescent. Most teenagers today spend just 16 hours per week interacting with adults and 60 with their cohort. A century ago, it was almost exactly the reverse. When children spend so much time apart from adult company they start to generate a culture with independent values and priorities. Though adolescents may want nothing more than to be able to define themselves, they discover that high school is one of the hardest places to do it. At that time they experience the most social fear, they have the least control; at that time they’re most sensitive to the impressions of others, they’re put into an environment where it’s easy to be labelled. To learn more about how to live with your adolescent, parents are invited to a free session “Navigating Adolescence” at 6.30pm on Wednesday 17th June (see page 7 for details). As a school we are trying to offer parents support at this most interesting time.

MOBILE PHONES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES MUST NOT BE TAKEN INTO THE EXAMINATION ROOM AND MUST BE LEFT IN LOCKED LOCKERS. Bags must also not be taken to the venue, but must be left in lockers. These examinations are important for students as this type of assessment is a significant part of the overall grade in Year 12 subjects. They assist in developing the skills that are necessary to achieve each student’s best performance. NAPLAN The NAPLAN assessments were undertaken by the Year 7 and 9 students last week. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all students who completed this assessment process on the way they applied themselves to the tasks given. There was a real sense of purpose and application by all students. Results will be forwarded to parents in late August/early September. The results will also further assist the staff to tailor learning for all students.

Corrine Humphrey Finance/Facilities Manager School Council Report The third College Council meeting of the year on the 19th May saw the election of the office bearers for 2015. This was held over from the last meeting due to a number of absences. Congratulations to Elizabeth Bradley (President), Gary Hughes (Vice President) and James Malliaros (Treasurer). Another point of interest was the attendance of the state member for Sandringham, Murray Thompson. Mr Thompson has recently written a letter of support for the school to the Victorian Minster for Education, James Merlino, seeking funding for the renovation/replacement of our ageing buildings. Although this is a positive development, now is not the time to lessen the pressure on our local government representatives. We encourage all members of the school community to continue to communicate the needs of the school to our local members, both state and federal. It is only together that we can ensure the school receives the necessary funding to provide a suitable learning environment for our daughters.

Mr Adam Howells MGSC Year 7 ALL Program Coordinator 2015 MGSC House Music Competition …and the winner is Kenny House!!! The MGSC 2015 House Music Competition, adjudicated by Mr Ian Nisbet, was held on Thursday 21st May in the College Gymnasium. This was the third year that the whole College was involved and it was our biggest and best yet! The competition commenced with the House Soloist and Instrumental Ensemble performances. The soloists were selected as the best individual performers from each house, and their performances encompassed a range of instruments and genres including an original guitar solo loop track, two vocalists and a classical pianist. It was wonderful to see each performance celebrated with rapturous applause, cheering and standing ovations. Monique Kuhn claimed victory for Jackson House for the second year in a row with her stirring rendition of Chopin’s Op 66. Fantastie - Impromptu. The Instrumental Conductors chose pieces that would complement the preferred style and ability of their ensemble. These included Pirates of the Caribbean, Wallace & Gromit, The Incredibles and Happy by Pharrell Williams. The competition was tight, but Melba House was victorious under the direction of Merry Hunt. It was now time for the Choral Competition which included every student and staff member in the College. The House Captains had taught their house a House Chant, the set song – Katy Perry’s Roar, and a House own choice Choral piece selected by the Captains and Choral conductor. The first house to take the stage was Jackson. They performed their House Chant with vigour and accentuating arm choreography led by Kelly Macquire and Steph Canty, which saw them take out first place for this category. Kenny House were the winners of both sections of the Choral Competition. Shannon Connelly led the house to victory with their energetic singing of set song, Roar. For the own choice Choral piece, Kenny House shone once again singing Pompeii, under the direction of Brittany Woodlock. The Kenny choir impressed our adjudicator with their featured soloists and beautiful harmonies and were supported by accompanists Hannah Pilcher and Shanon McKenzie. When it was time for the adjudication results, the audience erupted with cheers, applause and feet stomping as the winners of each category were announced. None was louder though than the cheers that came from Kenny House, who celebrated their first victory of House Music Competition as a whole school event. House Soloist 1st place Jackson 2nd place Mackellar 3rd place Kenny & Melba 4th place Instrumental Melba Kenny Mackellar Jackson House Chant Jackson Mackellar & Melba Kenny Set Song Kenny Melba Mackellar Jackson Own Choice Kenny Jackson Melba Mackellar OVERALL PLACE KENNY (111 points) MELBA (105 points) MACKELLAR (98 points) JACKSON (96 points) Thank you and congratulations to all of the House Captains, Conductors, House Soloists and Accompanists, members of the Featured Choirs and Instrumental Ensembles, and the Staff House Mentors, who all worked tirelessly in preparation for the event. Congratulations also to every student and staff member who sang or chanted on the day representing their House. It was wonderful to see such a strong House spirit alive in the College and we hope House Music will continue to grow as a positive event within our College community. Ms Anna Berlingeri Director of Performing Arts 4 MENTONE GIRLS’ SC NEWSLETTER Edition 8 | 28 May 2015 “One World. One Environment” Hey everyone! It’s Skye Cardwell from the Environment team. I would like to remind you that World Environment Day is on Friday 5th June. This event has been celebrated globally since 1973. The theme for this year is ‘Sustainable consumption and production’, so I’d like you to be aware of how much your household consumes and take a positive action for the environment by trying to reduce this, which consequently reduces the waste we all produce. Students should also remember to throw away their rubbish at lunchtime as it ends up lying around in the gardens. The whole school can get involved by wearing a green accessory to express their enthusiasm for a green world. On Thursday 11th June our team will be selling seeds for $2 a punnet during lunchtime in the canteen courtyard to fund our gardening project at the front of the school. I hope to see many of our students there. Skye Cardwell, 12B, Environment Leader Sport Life Saving Championships On Sunday 19th April Mia Duckett and Mikaela Dale (Year 10) competed for Anglesea in the Under 17 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships in Kiara Beach, Queensland.

Ms Debbie Jarvis 5 MENTONE GIRLS’ SC NEWSLETTER Edition 8 | 28 May 2015 Maths @ MGSC 5 HEALTHY WAYS TO MANAGE EMOTIONS We are a few weeks away from the start of the mid-year examination period for our Year 9-12 students. If students are getting a bit nervous this is generally a good sign. It normally means they would like to perform well in their exams and recognises they have to finalise their preparations. So what can they do to perform well in their exams? Here are some hints: • Review course material and identify areas of weakness. • Prepare additional revision notes and practice questions/answers to address these areas. • Make sure they know the scope of the work covered in their examinations and compile sample questions/answers. • Undertake trial exams under exam conditions to help simulate the real situation. • Set a study timetable that accounts for all subjects and the revision required. • Form a study group of friends that will actually help them to prepare for the exams. • Make sure they take some breaks and where possible, participate in sports or other outdoor activities. History shows the best students have a good balance between studies and other activities in their lives. • Develop routines that allow them to control any feelings of tension. This may be listening to music, taking walks or just “chilling”. • Last, but not least, do their best and have some fun. By Michael Grose Here are 5 healthy ways to manage your emotions that you can pass on to your children: 1. Breathe deeply The trick here is to take deep breaths, rather than shallow breaths. The easiest way to breathe deeply is to sit up straight (or stand up straight) count to 3 quietly while breathing through your nose, and count to 5 while breathing out. Breathe slowly and deeply. You may even feel a little ‘heady’, which indicates deep (and low) breathing. 2. Use a positive reappraisal Sometimes known as positive reframing, positive reappraisal is a simple technique you can use to help you look at a situation or event in a different light. Emotions are caused not by an event, but by the way we look at an event. A wedding speech to one person is a chance to strut your stuff (so they feel excited), while someone else may see it at as a nightmare (so they feel anxious). Change the way you view something and you’ll better be able to manage your emotional response. “This is a challenge, not a problem” is a catch-all reappraisal. The more specific the reappraisal the more effective it will be. 3. Use positive, REALISTIC self-talk Next time you catch yourself talking yourself or something down replace the negative with something realistic but more positive. Something like “I’ve done it in the past and I survived. So I should be able to do it again.” Repeat this a few times and your emotional state will shift to a better one. You may not exactly be jumping over the moon with confidence but you will feel less stressed. That’s what emotional management is about. 4. Have constructive habits and hobbies One of the tenets of good emotional health is that a person needs hobbies and interests that lift them up, making life enjoyable. Singletracked lives– all work and no play – are recipes for emotional disasters. If you can relate to this, then I suggest you take the time to find a hobby or interest that juices you up. 5. Seek professional counselling We all get stuck from time to time by aspects of our lives, such as experiencing loss, transition or trauma. When this happens we need a professional who can help us take the steps needed to become ‘unstuck’. A well-known song by US singer Kenny Roger song went, “You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em and know when to walk away.” I’d like to add another line- “You’ve got to know when to get some help.” Seeking help is something we are getting better at as a community, but we still have a long way to go until it accepted and normalised. Preparing for Mid-Year Exams – Maths “How To Guide” Extra Support with Maths Our intrepid Maths Student Domain Leaders will be providing extra help for our Year 7 & 8 Maths students.
