HOUSE ATHLETICS
On Wednesday, a warm but windy day, the schools Athletics Carnival
was held at Meadowglen, in Epping. Though attendance was slightly
down on previous years, participation was up. It was great to see the
large numbers of students participating in events, whether they were
track/field/novelties or helped make up numbers for relays.
In addition the student’s behaviour was exemplary. They are to be
commended for their efforts on the day.
Thanks to all staff who took on roles in running the events and to the
Sport & Recreation students for assisting on the day. The Business
School based students did a fantastic job assisting Mrs Wate in
recording and organising results.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Every Day Counts in the education of our children.
Literacy: learning we all share. How much reading has your child done at home in the past two weeks?
The start to Term 2 has been very smooth with students quickly getting back into their learning. It was
pleasing to see both staff and students returning from their holidays bright, cheerful and ready to commence
the term.
The College has had some leadership changes and I would like to welcome Ms Kellie McKernan as our new
Acting Leading Teacher in the Junior School area, replacing Mr Matt Rose. Kellie is also the year 8 Coordinator; even though Kellie will no longer be the Year 7 Co-ordinator she will still be overseeing the Year 7
level in her new capacity. Mr Matt Rose has taken up the Leading Teacher Curriculum position to replace
Mrs Vanessa Morrow who is on family leave. Ms Belinda McKenzie is the new Year 7 Co-ordinator, along
with Mr Powell. I thank all staff who applied for these positions, in particular the successful staff members,
and look forward to seeing them grow in their new roles.
The College is extremely pleased with the success of the recent parent/family interviews, particularly the online booking and reports. Parent feedback has been extremely positive and we will be continuing with this
practice. The College staff are currently assessing the interview night, to decide on either one night or two
nights. We will keep parents informed as we adjust to the COMPASS program and adjust our operating
systems accordingly.
On Friday 24 April, the Broadford Secondary College and Broadford Primary School students
and staff will hold a joint ceremony to celebrate ANZAC Day. This will take place at 12.40pm
at the Broadford Stadium.
In May, a team of outside auditors will be undertaking a review of our practices. This process
occurs every three years as a normal part of the College’s life; we can then develop our strategic plans and
annual implementation plans from the review’s recommendations. Selected parents or carers will be invited
to be part of the process. A random list will be generated from our data bases and you may be contacted. I
encourage parents, if you are contacted, to please participate in the review as we map out the direction of the
College for the next three years.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce our new staff members to the College community. We have Ms
Katrina Adamo replacing Mrs Vanessa Morrow who is going on family leave and Ms Ellen Glover who is
taking up a teaching position in the VCAL and Humanities area.
Last but not least, we wish Mrs Vanessa Morrow all the best for the future. Starting a new family is a very
exciting time for all. We look forward to seeing the newest addition to the Morrow family in the very near
future.
Dave Mills.
NEWS from the OFFICE
At the end of Term 1 student accounts were sent
home to families. These accounts showed student
charges for the year (excluding sport, camps &
excursions). Payment of your account assists the
College in providing the very best education
program possible and we encourage all families to
contribute to the College in this way.
Payments can be made by instalments over the
course of the year for most charges. However,
items such as VET, bus fares, camps and
excursions MUST be paid by the due date
provided, otherwise your student is at risk of
exclusion from these activities.
There are still a number of school photos in the
General Office that have not been collected. If you
have paid for your student’s photo please ensure it
is are collected as soon as possible.
The school has student photo ID cards available to
purchase for $2.00 from the General Office. These
are a useful form of identification for all students to
carry in their wallets.
The implementation of COMPASS access by
parents has been a great success. To continue
this communication stream, we ask that all families
check that the email address you have provided to
the school is current and all phone numbers are up
to date.

SPORT NEWS
SOUTHERN RANGES SWIMMING
Last term a group of some 40 swimmers and
several Sport & Recreation students travelled to
Seymour to compete in the Southern Ranges
Swimming Finals. While we did not win the event
overall, the students performed admirably and with
enthusiasm. We do come up against some very
strong swimming schools that draw their
competitors from local clubs.
Jordan Chibnall
‘AWESOME’!
were,
in
Jordan’s
words,
Although the girls were all weary by the last game
they tried hard and were good sports. It was a great
day, well done girls.
Mr Dave Dixon
Coach.
REINING CHAMPIONSHIPS
The commitment of the students in their events was
outstanding. Also, the willingness of the younger
students to swim up in relays to ensure the older
groups could enter a team was fantastic.
Particular congratulations go to Madeleine Rhodes
of Year 10 who won the 50, 100 & 200 metre
Freestyle races and the 50 metre Breaststroke in
her age group. Madeleine was also a member of
the 16 Year female 4 x 50 Freestyle relay which
was victorious. The rest of the team comprised
Bronwyn Mills, Claire McKenzie and Takara
Mitchell.
Madeleine qualified for the Hume Finals but was
unable to compete due to a commitment with
Kilmore Swimming Club which required her to be in
Darwin at the time.
Thanks must go the VET Sport & Recreation
students who did a great job assisting on the day.
Well done to all students.
YEAR 7 & 8 GIRLS TENNIS – Term 1 Round
Robin Sports
Three teams of keen tennis players represented
BSC at Euroa Lawn Tennis Club. The girls tried
hard all day and despite their shock when they
discovered that the lawn courts did not make the
ball bounce, they were soon returning the serve.
BSC 1, with Takara Mitchell, Ella McWhinney,
Rukaiya Motin and Ashley Harris played strongly in
all games and were runners up to FCJ in the Year
7 competition. The girls’ good knowledge of tennis
rules was a great help to many of the umpires on
the day. Ashley was particularly good at directing
inexperienced players through a ‘tie break’.
In the second week of March Mikayla Smith
competed in the Victorian State Reining
Championships. This show was the biggest that
Mikki has competed in with over 400 competitors
coming from all over Victoria and New South
Wales. Most of her classes went for over 2 hours
due to the number of competitors, one for 5 hours
as there were 48!!
Congratulations to Mikki who did very well for her
first state show, with a reserve champion for
Reining Australia Green Rider level 1, 3rd for
Victorian Reining Horse Association Beginner
Reiner, 6th for Youth 14-18 (with only 2.5pts
sepperating 1st place to Mikkis 6th).
BSC 2, with Charlyse Greeno, Hayley Segec and
Krista Blyth-Parsons were enthusiastic and never
gave up all day despite being a player down.
The Year 8 girls were very competitive and were
placed second only to Mansfield by 2 games out of
25. Alisha Munro and Jess Nicolaison were a
formidably pair ensuring that any ball that made it
across the net was returned at a great pace. The
second pair of Ebony Hinchcliff and star ‘rooky’
We wish Mikki well when she competes in the
Reining Australia National Championships in
Tamworth NSW in September.

JUNIOR SCHOOL NEWS
Welcome back to another school term to all Junior
Students. I hope you all had an enjoyable break
and are looking forward to the busy term ahead.
There have been changes to the Junior School
Management Team this term and we welcome Ms
Belinda McKenzie who is replacing me as Year 7
Co-ordinator. Congratulations and we all look
forward to working with you. We also congratulate
Mr Matt Rose as he takes on the responsibility of
Curriculum Co-ordinator of the College. A big
thankyou to Mr Rose for all his hard work and the
long hours he put into the role of Junior School Coordinator, the Junior School Management Team will
sadly miss him. Which leaves me - I have replaced
Mr Rose as the Junior School Coordinator and
Year 8 Co-ordinator.
The Team is now:
Year 7 – Mr Chris Powell and Ms Belinda
McKenzie
Year 8 – Ms Kellie Mckernan
Year 9 – Mr Jason Stradella
Years 7, 8 and 9 level assemblies were held this
past week to remind students of our school rules
and values. Co-ordinators also emphasised uniform
expectations and the repercussions of relocation.
A reminder to parents that the junior students have
a relocation policy where students must self-report
to their Co-ordinator if they are relocated. Three
relocations in one term results in a suspension.
The uniform policy is currently being enforced
across all years. Students who are not in full
uniform for any reason need to report to the
conference room before 9.00am to receive a
uniform pass. Please remember that hoodies,
canvas shoes, caps, beanies, leggings/skins
are not part of the uniform even on PE days. I must
emphasise the students who wear leggings or skins
to school will be receiving further consequences.
Also facial piercings must be clear or less than
1mm. No bolts or rings.
It was great to see so many students participating
on Athletics Day - dressed up in their House
colours and joining in to earn points for their House.
Well done to all who competed and joined in on the
day! Big congratulations to Piper House who were
worthy winners and demonstrated the Piper House
spirit! Well done to Mr Hickson and the Piper
Leaders including the Golden Moths and Junior
John Pipers for getting their team across the line.
Go PIPER!
Year 7 families will be receiving a letter home next
week in regards to the annual camp. We have
recently changed the venue for the Year 7 camp.
We are excited to announce we will be heading into
the Melbourne CBD for an activities packed camp!
Keep an eye out for that letter, as it will provide you
with all the information needed at this stage.
I also want to highlight our plan to improve
communication with parents/guardians - using
social media to reach out to parents.
The
Broadford Secondary College app is available for
(free) download. It is available for both iPhone and
Android products. In addition, the school has a
Junior School Facebook page. Simply search and
like ‘BSC Junior School’ on Facebook. This page
will focus more on the day-to-day goings on at the
school as well as recognising student achievement.

Final Round Robin
Dealing with change
We hope that students had a refreshing holiday,
and that they have returned ready to move up a
gear. There are 7 weeks until the teachers need to
begin to write reports, so there will be many SACs
to be completed in this time.
Fortunately there are no mid-year exams for Year
12 students apart from the GAT, (Wednesday 10
June) but final course work and SACs will be due
on 11 June for all year levels. This is the last date
for resubmission if necessary, so it is
recommended that all drafts and first submissions
are completed at least a week prior to this. There
are special procedures in place if students require
extensions for SACs. The application forms are
available from Miss Reid, and these must be
submitted along with the necessary evidence
before it can be approved.

Year 11 mid-year exams are in Week 8 starting
June 31st and the Year 10 mid-year exams begin
on June 4th. To assist students to prepare, the first
of the VCE Tute Nights will be happening next
Wednesday 22nd April. Check and see if your
teachers are coming, and make use of the time to
catch up and prepare for all of your assessment
tasks. Welcome to all students in Year 10 who are
completing a VCE subject.
SPORTS UNIFORM
For all Year 7 students it is compulsory to wear the
new sports uniform - no black shorts or track pants.
Students in Years 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 have this year
to transition into the new items.
In 2016 it will be compulsory for all students to be
wearing the new sports uniform.
With the commemoration of the 100th anniversary
of the Gallipoli landing on ANZAC Day next
Saturday, our student leaders will be attending
dawn services in the local communities. It is
important that we never forget the sacrifices and
hard work of our Armed Services.
These
individuals have been selfless in their work during
times of war and times of peace. They have
battled to protect the rights that we enjoy, but in
many peace keeping missions, they have battled to
protect the rights of strangers. What they have
achieved has often been superhuman. It is fitting
that we recognise and value such dedication and
selflessness. Having spoken to returned veterans
at such services, they are extremely touched to
know that they are not forgotten.
Our uniform supplier, All Things Uniform are
stocked with the new track pants.
VCE students can often find themselves at the end
of their 13 years of school feeling lost and
wondering where their life is heading from here. It
is a time of tense waiting and anxiety. They can
feel that they are being judged, and on a number
that only measures a small part of who they are.
People graduating from University with a degree
and waiting for a job, people leaving a traineeship,
people returning from a posting overseas and at
many other stages of their life, personal and
professional, can feel the same way. This is
common in any transition. It is important to learn to
deal with this tension, without letting it get you
down. Nervousness can be terrifying as they long
for the security of the past or exciting as students
look forward to the changes to come. If anxiety
builds, please contact either the school Welfare
Team or the co-ordinators so that we can assist.
Step 3
This term is also the last opportunity for students in
Year 11 and 12 to participate in interschool Round
Robin Sports. Please make sure that you have
signed up if you are interested in participating.

HEAD LICE!
We have had a case of head lice (nits!) reported.
Please check your child’s hair and treat if
necessary.
Head lice can be controlled but it takes a
systematic approach.
Step1
Step 2
Step 4
Step 5
Comb inexpensive hair conditioner on
to dry, brushed (detangled) hair.
This makes it difficult for lice to grip
the hair or run around;
Wipe the conditioner from the comb
onto a paper towel or tissue;
Look on the tissue and on the comb
for lice and eggs;
If lice or eggs are found, the child
should be treated;
If the child has been treated recently
and only hatched eggs are found, you
may not have to treat since the eggs
could be from the old infection.
There is no need to make a huge effort to clean
the entire house. Only the pillowcase requires
specific laundering.
YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE
All Year 10 students are required to complete one
week of Work Experience in 2015. This will take
place in Term 3 from:
Monday 14 September to Friday 18 September
This is a valuable opportunity for students to
experience work in their possible chosen career.
Students should start looking at opportunities NOW
as there are 120 Year 10 students who will all be
seeking placements at that time.
The Department of Education & Training provides
Work Cover for the students, subject to the relevant
form being completed and signed.
The school can offer some assistance but it is
really down to the students to organise their own
placements.

IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP
Adolescents (teenagers) need between 9 and 10
hours of sleep every night. Regularly not getting
enough sleep (chronic sleep deprivation) can affect
a teenager's academic and sporting performance
and may increase their risk of emotional problems
such as depression. Even 30 minutes of extra
sleep each night makes a difference
The developing brain of a teenager needs
between 9 and 10 hours of sleep every night.
The effects of chronic (ongoing) sleep
deprivation may include:
 Concentration difficulties
 Mentally ‘drifting off’ in class
 Shortened attention span
 Memory impairment
 Poor decision making
 Lack of enthusiasm
 Moodiness and aggression
 Depression
 Risk-taking behaviour
 Slower physical reflexes
 Clumsiness, which may result in physical
injuries
 Reduced sporting performance
 Reduced academic performance
 Increased number of ‘sick days’ from school
because of tiredness
Preventing sleep deprivation – tips for parents
Try not to argue with your teenager about
bedtime. Instead, discuss the issue with them.
Together, brainstorm ways to increase their
nightly quota of sleep. Suggestions include:
 Allow your child to sleep in on the
weekends.
 Encourage an early night every Sunday. A
late night on Sunday followed by an early
Monday morning will make your child
drowsy for the start of the school week.
 Decide together on appropriate time limits
for any stimulating activity such as
homework, television or computer games.
Encourage restful activities during the
evening, such as reading.
 Avoid early morning appointments, classes
or training sessions for your child if
possible.
Sleep research suggests that a teenager needs
between nine and 10 hours of sleep every night.


Help your child to better schedule their
after-school commitments to free up time for
rest and sleep.
Assess your child’s weekly schedule
together and see if they are overcommitted.
Help them to trim activities.
Encourage your child to take an afternoon
nap after school to help recharge their
battery, if they have time.
Work together to adjust your teenager’s
body clock.

imagine I could have beaten the lot of you – not! To
be honest, I reckon I could at least hold my own in
a ’tug of war’ but I don’t think it was on the list of
events. I’d have a go at Gum Boot throwing but
can you imagine how difficult it is to throw a boot if
you don’t have thumbs?
Apparently I’ve been a bit ‘on the nose’ since the
hols. Seriously, I take up swimming (in the dam) to
try and get a bit fit and then people complain about
my smell. Thankfully for all of you, Tracy (my great
friend and supporter from ‘Tracy’s Grooming’)
washed me today and I smell like a Princess.
Personally, I kinda liked the dam smell.
Immunisations are coming up soon. Year 8s have
to get their forms back by Monday 27th or you won’t
get to join me in the Hall. I love needle day – I get
to lounge around on the mats, recovering with all of
you. You get the needle and I get the pat, sounds
good to me.
Open Night is coming up on the 29th April. Those
days when we get to invite parents and other
potential new people into the school to show them
how cool this place is, are some of my faves. I get
to show off, parade around and get lots of pats …

Boring, boring, boring, boring … there’s not enough
‘borings’ in the world to describe my hols. I hope
yours were better. I did some swimming and went

talk footy too much coz she spends the whole time
bragging – that’s boring too.

anyway), how about the Aths results? Good on all

JAPANESE SISTER SCHOOL VISIT
HOST FAMILIES REQUIRED
Are you interested in hosting a Japanese student?
20 students from our sister school in Japan- Katsuta High School – will be visiting our school early in term 3.
What’s involved?





You need to be able to provide food
and
accommodation for the student(s) for
4 nights. (Saturday 1 August to
Wednesday 5 August).
My home is too small – No it isn’t.
Japanese homes are much smaller
than ours. The students are used to
small spaces.
We don’t have a spare room/bed.
They can share a room/ sleep on the floor/couch.
We don’t speak Japanese. The students are here to practise their English. If you can slow down
your speech /avoid too much slang/ play a decent game of charades – you’ll be just fine.
We don’t have time to take them places – The students will fit in with what you are doing on the
weekend (shopping, sport, playstation etc.).
A brief outline of the program
The Katsuta students will arrive in Broadford on Saturday 1 August. Host families will be asked to pick up
their student(s) from Broadford Secondary College at around 3pm. They will spend the weekend with you and
your family.
The main purpose of the homestay is to experience everyday life with an Australian family, and to
communicate in English. They are here to improve their language skills, and they do that by talking to you. It
is always a bit awkward at first – it takes a while for them to adjust to the Australian accent! They learn best
by watching, listening, helping you around the home and taking part in games and activities.
Some good ice-breaking activities:
 Card games (Uno etc.), board games, jigsaws
 Helping with setting tables, cleaning up, cooking.
 A home tour –it’s really important to show them how to use the bathroom/shower. If you’re on tank
water, indicate that you have a time limit on showers. To avoid peak hour rush in the bathroom, you
may ask the student(s) to shower in the evening rather than the morning.
 Introduce them to your pets and animals.
 Show them the Milky Way.
 Take them to the supermarket to help you shop for groceries and find out about their favourite foods.
On Monday and Tuesday the students will attend B.S.C for the day. They will take part in classes, tour the
school and present information about Japanese culture to Broadford students. Host families are asked to
provide lunch for the Katsuta students.
The students will depart Broadford Secondary College on Wednesday 5 August, at 9am.
This is a brief outline of the program, and more detailed information will follow. Please feel free to contact me
with any questions/queries/concerns that you have.
