From the Principal
that so many of our parents attended in order to support
their students. Once again, many thanks are extended to our
teachers who gave their time to make the evening a successful
one.
The Mansfield State High School Community has a wonderful
vibe about it and as Principal I am very impressed with how
quickly our students have settled back into learning. The
uniform standard is looking excellent, the grounds are looking
fantastic, the buildings are looking better by the day, students
are engaged in their learning and doing their very best and
our teachers are working hard to ensure quality learning and
teaching is occurring in every lesson, every day. I would like to
take this opportunity to thank our parents and caregivers for
helping your children get ready for the 2015 school year.
OP 1 and 2 Assembly
Our school vision Quality Learning in a Caring Environment,
certainly shapes our student learning and assessment and our
teaching at Mansfield State High School. Every day when I walk
around our school I am so impressed with all students as they
strive for and achieve their individual success. While visiting
each classroom, it is obvious that our students love learning
and love being part of Mansfield State High School.
Last week our Year 9, 10, 11 and 12 students attended a
special assembly at which we had the pleasure of welcoming
back our 2014 Year 12 OP 1 and 2 students to celebrate
their success. We had the opportunity to hear the students’
academic achievements and what their future plans are. It was
wonderful to see them back and we certainly enjoyed their
stories. Unfortunately, because of private commitments some
of our students were unable to attend; however, they were
there in spirit. Well done to the Seniors of 2014!
Year 7 and 8 Welcome Dance
Student Handbook
Our annual welcome dance was enjoyed by our Year 7 and 8
students as well as our school student leaders. It was also an
informative evening for our parents as they had the opportunity
to meet with their child’s teachers and learn about the subjects
they study and the services and opportunities available to them.
Many thanks to all the parents who attended and also to our
teachers who helped make the night a success.
Year 11 Information Evening
Our Year 11 information evening was also a successful event
at which our parents of our Year 11 students attended a night
full of information to help understand the next two years of their
students’ senior schooling. Our teachers certainly appreciated
Our Student Handbook is a valuable tool to
assist students in their planning and
organisation of their study and co-curricular
activities. Parents are asked to peruse your
student’s Handbook on a weekly basis and
to sign at the bottom of each page.
Students should be writing SPECIFIC
homework for each subject that they have
that day. It might be something like: Revise Pages 34-37 of
Science text book on Energy; Read Ch4 of ‘Holes’ novel; Think
about wood joining skills; Write 3 paragraphs on Ancient Egypt.
This is not only vital for students’ learning, but it also provides
information for parents to assist in the monitoring process.
We also ask all parents to view the School Handbook to
familiarise themselves with the policies and rules of the school.
Information includes:
• Procedures and guidelines for student behaviour and
welfare.
• Procedures and guidelines for assessment,
referencing and research.
For ALL parents, please note that there is a section for notes
between teachers and parents to be able to communicate on
a weekly basis. There is a multitude of learning tips throughout
the Handbook. Some of this information is included in our
weekly Student Development Program. Please take the time to
see what our Student Handbook offers to our students.
Please also check that your student’s Handbook is free of
graffiti, pictures, scribble etc. Thank you so much for your
assistance.
Get Involved in Our P&C
Getting involved with a Parents & Citizens’ Association (P&C)
can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience, but many people
may be unsure of how it works. If you’ve never been involved
in a P&C before, the Quick Guide for P&C Executive Officers
is a great way to get familiar with what they do, and how you
can help out. The guide sets out the roles and responsibilities
of members in an easy-to-read format. The Quick Guide for
P&C Executive Officers has been produced by the Queensland
Council of Parents’ and Citizens’ Associations and Education
Queensland and is available for download from the Department
of Education and Training website at:
http://education.qld.gov.au/parents/pdf/
quickguide-pc-executiveofficers.pdf
Parking Restrictions
Please do not set down, collect or park in
any of the restricted zones near the
entrances of the school, particularly the
Broadwater Road Entrances near the
Administration Building and the Ham Road
Entrance near the Music Block. Please note
that outside the Administration Building is a ‘NO STANDING’
zone that is frequently patrolled by the police or Council officers
and the fines are heavy. Wherever there is a YELLOW LINE,
vehicles are not to stop. Please DO NOT DRIVE INTO THE
SCHOOL GROUNDS OR SCHOOL DRIVEWAYS at any time
other than to collect a sick student from the Administration
Block or for evening functions. There are many safe areas along
Broadwater Road west of Ham Road for drop-off and pick-up.
It would be appreciated if you would arrange to collect your
student from a designated meeting place some one hundred
metres away from the school. Thank you for trying to make our
school environment safer. It is so important!
We have two regulation size disability parking bays in the Ham
Road car park, just next to the Music Block. This parking is
available for motorists who require parking access with either
RED or BLUE permits only. Please note these bays are clearly
marked and are not for general parking use. We currently have
students who require access to these parking bays at morning
drop off, afternoon pick up and during the day. We ask parents
to please refrain from accessing these spaces to ensure
parents of students with disabilities can ensure safe and
efficient access to the school. There is also a disability parking
bay in the administration car park. Thank you for your
understanding and cooperation.

Assessment / Assignment Policy
This might be an opportune time for parents to discuss the
Assessment/Assignment Policies with their students. It is
included on Pages M12-M14 of the Student Handbook. These
policies need to be adhered to.
Student Absence / Late Procedures
A note from a parent or guardian in explanation of a student’s
absence must be presented to the SDP Teacher (Student
Development Program and roll marking teacher) within two
days of returning to school. Except in special circumstances,
failure to do so will result in a detention.
If a student is to be absent for more than a couple of days,
the parent needs to contact the relevant Deputy Principal to
discuss the absence.
If a student will be knowingly absent for assessment, it is school
policy not to administer the test earlier.
If a student is absent, a note of explanation from the parent/
guardian is to be brought on the day the student returns to
school or at the latest on the following day. After this, an after
school detention will be issued and parents will be advised of
the date. Obviously it is in the best interest of everyone that the
detention does not occur.
Parents are also advised that instead of a note, you may phone
the ABSENCE line 3452 5306 and press 9 and leave a
message stating: Parent’s name, Relationship to student,
Student’s name, SDP class, When absent, Reason (eg Matt
Smith, Father of Gail Jones in 10D, absent today and tomorrow,
as she has bronchitis.) An email may also be sent to the
student’s SDP teacher; however this is not the preferred option.
Your assistance with the process above is appreciated.
Students Wanting to Leave Early During a
School Day
Students MUST have a note, to take to the Lower Office before
school. They will be issued with a pass to then have signed
by the teacher, from whose class they are leaving early. Just
prior to the designated time of pick up, students then leave
the class after showing their pass to the teacher, go to the
Lower Office/Upper Office with the signed pass to leave and
swipe out. No students are to leave classes, unless they have
a pass issued to them. In a school of over 2060 students and
the complexities that go with that, it is not possible unless in
extreme emergencies, for students to be called from a class
when a parent arrives at the school office.
Wednesday afternoons are for MAP (a compulsory aspect of
our curriculum), not for appointments, unless it is absolutely
essential.
Thank you for your understanding in these matters.
Messages
Parents/Guardians are requested to phone the school with
a message for a student in an EMERGENCY situation only.
This will ensure the efficient running of our school. Day to
day matters such as where to collect students need to be
discussed prior to students arriving at the school in the
morning. Parents bringing items left at home to school for
students such as lunches, forms or sports items, must be a
rare occurrence. Messages for students may only be passed on
from parents or guardians.

Introduction to High School Maths – Year 7 and
8 Parents
Success for Young Instrumentalist
Wednesday 4 March 2015
The Introduction to High School Maths sessions give parents of
Year 7 and 8 students an opportunity to familiarise themselves
with the Mathematics curriculum and how it is being taught
in 2015. The main aim is to help parents understand the
assessment process, to look at the text book and how it is
being used and to teach parents some maths so that they feel
competent and confident when they are helping their students.
Mr Broome, Head of Department - Mathematics, will lead one
session in the afternoon (1-3pm) and one in the evening
(7-9pm). Both sessions will be held in C1 and C2. C Block is
the new building located on Broadwater Road. PLEASE NOTE
– The evening session (7-9pm) is now full. There are still places
available for the afternoon session (1-3pm). To secure your
place, we ask that you pre-book your session by completing
the Introduction to High School Maths tear-off slip at the end of
this newsletter and returning it to the UPPER OFFICE no later
than Monday 2 March. You then make a note of the date and
time in your calendar and arrive for your chosen session.
Congratulations to Year 11 student Daniel
Elvery who was recently selected as a
finalist in the Queensland Symphony
Orchestra’s English Family Prize for Young
Instrumentalists.

February 2015)
“Playing music is the brain’s equivalent of a full-body workout,"
writes Maria Popova in her article, "How Playing Music Benefits
Your Brain More than Any Other Activity," in Brain Pickings.
"Playing an instrument engages practically every area of the
brain at once — especially the visual, auditory, and motor
cortices. And, as in any other workout, disciplined, structured
practice in playing music strengthens those brain functions,
allowing us to apply that strength to other activities…. Playing
music has been found to increase the volume and activity in
the brain’s corpus callosum — the bridge between the two
hemispheres — allowing messages to get across the brain
faster and through more diverse routes. This may allow
musicians to solve problems more effectively and creatively, in
both academic and social settings.
Because making music also involves crafting and
understanding its emotional content and message, musicians
also have higher levels of executive function — a category
of interlinked tasks that includes planning, strategising, and
attention to detail, and requires simultaneous analysis of both
cognitive and emotional aspects.
This ability also has an impact on how our memory systems
work. And, indeed, musicians exhibit enhanced memory
functions — creating, storing, and retrieving memories more
quickly and efficiently. Studies have found that musicians
appear to use their highly connected brains to give each
memory multiple tags, such as a conceptual tag, an emotional
tag, an audio tag, and a contextual tag — like a good Internet
search engine."

friends within the school community, the

External Senior Exams
Year 12 students wishing to apply to sit External Senior
Examinations, particularly in the area of languages other than
English, need to see Ms Wenzel in F13 this week to collect
information packs. Students who sit for these exams usually
have the results credited towards their OP. Students are eligible
to sit a maximum of two examinations if they cannot study
the subject/s at school and must be able to demonstrate they
are receiving an appropriate level of tuition in the examination
subject. All examinations occur in October and November
2015. Registration and payment is due by Monday 27 April
2015.
TAFE
TAFE Queensland and TAFE Skills Tech and
a number of other TAFE institutions have
now finalised their orientation process with
most courses having already started.
If your child is absent from their TAFE course please contact
the relevant TAFE and advise of your child’s absenteeism on
the day, as you would here at school. The school will also be
contacted by the TAFE if a student is absent from their course.
For those students who have taken up a placement in a
course then decide that it is not their preferred pathway, they
must see Ms Wenzel prior to withdrawing. It is extremely
important that the school is notified once placement has been
withdrawn, by email: [email protected] or phone: 3452 5333
as this may impact on your child’s ability to receive a
Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) at the end of Year
12.
For students who have missed a place this year, the 2016
process will begin in September 2015.
