From The Assistant Principal
As we stride into second term, I am delighted to share with you some highlights and updates from our vibrant school community on behalf of the school leadership team.
I am thrilled to report that we have had a wonderfully positive start to Term 2. The energy and enthusiasm of our students and staff are palpable as we embark on another exciting chapter of learning and growth together.
The start of term is always a reminder to me that I am lucky to work with such a dedicated and professional group of teaching and education support staff. They are deeply committed to the development of their craft, understanding the unique needs of each student, and consistently striving to bring out the best in our school community. Next Tuesday, we have a pupil-free day dedicated to enhancing student wellbeing and engagement through the Classroom Mastery program. This program, which some of you may have heard about on the 7.30 Report last year, aims to equip our teachers with effective techniques to foster a positive and supportive learning environment for all students through the explicit teaching of routines and a behaviour curriculum. We are all looking forward to this opportunity.
Our Year 7 Instrumental Music taster sessions have kicked off to an excellent start. It’s been fantastic to witness the students, many of whom have never played an instrument before, as they explore different instruments and discover their musical aptitude. As the instrumental music program continues to grow, I am looking forward to attending the End of Term concert the music teaching team has planned. It should be a good one – stay tuned for more information!
Congratulations to Baynton, winners of the Athletics Sports Carnival! It was wonderful to see so many of our students competing for their house and striving for their personal best. Thank you especially to Mr Eddy for organising another successful carnival for us all, and to the extended HPE team for all the extra time that went into ensuring we were all able to spend a happy and exciting day at the Keilor Athletics Track.
Our recent ANZAC Day assembly was a tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for our nation. We were honoured to have Ross Cornell, one of our excellent Casual Relief Teachers, play the bagpipes; he and a visiting bugler from the Kyneton Municipal Band, Harry Gatt, enhanced our ceremony with their moving music. I am particularly proud of our school captains and student leadership coordinator, Ben Hill, for their active participation in local community ANZAC Day ceremonies including the Dawn Service at Mount Macedon. It was also heartening to witness many of our students and staff involved in various community groups, such as the scouts, air cadets, and football/netball club members, demonstrating their respect and appreciation for our servicemen and women.
I would like to acknowledge the years of service of Jodie Cox, one of our HPE teachers, who is making the move to a Bendigo school to be closer to home. Jodie has been a part of the fabric of the school since we were both new to Kyneton SC back in 2008. Over the years, Jodie made a positive impact on many young lives through her work in the HPE team, while teaching in the VCAL team, and as the Senior Ball coordinator, amongst other things. Jodie – we wish you well at your new school, and thank you for everything you have done for Kyneton High School.
Our school tours for prospective families have commenced, providing us with the opportunity to showcase our state-of-the-art facilities, including Ngurrak – our new STEAM and Middle Years building, and the vibrant learning environment we offer. It is a joy to witness the enthusiasm of the Year 6s and their parents/carers on these tours and to see our current happy, healthy students engaged in their learning journey with their teachers and support staff.
Thank you to all parents, carers and students who attended the Parent-Teacher Interviews. We appreciate the time you have given to partner with us in your role as the first educators of your children as we take them through from Years 7 to 12. As always, I am immensely grateful for your continued support and partnership in nurturing the growth and development of our students.
Warm regards,
Faye Zollia
Assistant Principal

Indonesian Food Tasting
In Indonesian, we did a food tasting, some of the food was good, some was bad. The different tables were krupuk, fruit and smell and feel. There was also a chilli table and the different levels of chilli were level 3, 5 and 10. My likes were the dragonfruit and the krupuk. The dragon fruit was sweet and sour and the krupuk was crunchy. My dislikes were the durian it tasted so bad and smelt yucky. My favourite was the krupuk it tasted so good and the thing that was interesting was seeing all the food.

On Monday we did an Indonesian food tasting, it was so much fun exploring new foods. We got put into groups of six and there were four tables, one filled with fruits, another krupuk, and another had food you could only smell and feel. Each table had a range of different foods. There was a food called durian it smelt horrible, it didn’t taste that bad almost like pineapple. Keripik singkog pedas (level 10 chips) where so spicy, but not as spicy as the chillies. I only had level 2 and I thought that it was so spicy. – JC
I took part in the food tasting on Tuesday and I have a list of things that I liked and disliked.
I liked the hot chilis, coconut jelly, super spicy chips, prawn crackers, peanut sauce and the coconut jam. I disliked the weird sticky jelly stuff, kecap manis and the durian fruit. The chillies were really spicy and they made my eyes water and my mouth burn really bad and it made me almost throw up. The weird jelly stuff tasted really bad and I really hated it. Overall it was an amazing experience and I loved getting free food. – WO
On Monday we did an Indonesian food tasting which was a very good experience. There were 4 tables, a chilli, smell, fruit and a food table. The chilli table had 3 types of spice and they were very hot. The smell table was mainly just ingredients you would cook with and not just eat by itself. The Gula Merah smelt like brown sugar which was very sweet. Another table was full of fruits which were very interesting,I didn’t really like any of them as they had a weird taste. The last table was full of sauces and kinds of chips. I really liked the Kerupuk Mawar as it was a nice crunchy chip thing. – RC
On Monday we did an Indonesian food tasting. There were 4 different tables consisting of the following: krupuk, fruit, smell and feel and chilli table. We got put into groups of 6 and we got to go around to each table. The krupuk table had a range of different sauces and chips, prawn crackers as well. The fruit table had different groups of fruit type jelly and just everyday fruit from Indonesia. The smell and feel table had leaves, types of spices that they cooked with. The chilli table had 3 different types of chilli, mild, medium and hot. Some people had all of them and some people only had one of them. To me all of them were hot. At the end Bu Kiky gave 2 people a type of fruit for being one of the best students. It was a fun food tasting.
– BH
On Monday, our Year 8s were given the wonderful opportunity to experience our ‘Indonesian Food Tasting’ incursion. They were provided with the most amazing selection of Indonesian fruits, spices and foods. The whole cohort were so respectful, polite and very, very engaged. What stood out the most was how open-minded they were and so willing to give everything a try! None of this would have been possible without the organisation and dedication of Bu Kiky and Bu Arti. They spent hours shopping and preparing the foods so that our Year 8s could experience a true Indonesian culinary experience. Please have a read of the detailed and honest articles from 8A about the incursion!

On Monday in Indonesian we had a food tasting incursion. I tried the manggis, it was fruit which was on table 2. It looked like a mandarin but it was white and had no skin. When you would bite into it, it would crunch and would also be juicy. It tasted sweet and had an odd texture. The next thing I tried was the chillies. I’m not sure what type I tried but there were three spice levels, three being the highest. I tried one and two, let’s just say, I quit after two considering my tongue was on fire. The third thing I tried was a coconut jam. It was in a sort of paste and it was green. It was very sweet and smelled amazing. It tasted like coconut, it was a type of bean paste and usually you’d eat it on toast! My favourite was probably the coconut jam and my least favourite was the durian. It smelt like sewerage and tasted like rotten pineapple. It was very creamy but I can understand people who do like it! – MB
In Indonesian we did a food tasting where we rotated between four tables that each had different foods. One table for fruits, a table for rice cakes/crackers, another for describing what some foods smelt and felt like and the last table was for challenging yourself tasting very spicy chillies. They were in order from hottest to the very hottest. My least favourite thing that I tried was the durian. Durian is well known for it’s taste and smell. It does not taste or smell pleasing at all. My favourite thing I tried was krupuk, they are these colourful squiggly crackers that were paired with a bunch of sauces to dip them in. – TS
On Monday we did the food tasting we got put into groups. We went to the krupuk table and tried the crackers, they were good, some were spicy. The sauces were nice! Then we moved to the chilli table, me and my friends grabbed all three chillies and ate all of them, they were so spicy! Then we moved to the fruit table and the coconut jelly was really flavourful. I had some of the lycee it tasted really sweet. The durian tasted sweet and like a sweet and kinda spicy pineapple. Then we had to write down what we ate then we had to say what it felt like and smelt like. – JS
On Monday the year eights had an Indonesian food tasting lesson.
I loved the coconut jam. it was creamy and you could definitely taste the coconut but the jambu biji was a different story. It was dry and rough. The dragon fruit was pink and a perfectly sweet fruit. The durian smelt like bad cough medicine but tasted like creamy pineapple, Jimmy ate all the different chillies and regretted it. The smallest pepper was the hottest and Jimmy couldn’t even eat the whole thing,
The white cracker smelled bland but tasted like rice and was very dry,
Gula merah smelled of sugar and had a unique sweet flavour. – VH
Today we had an Iindonesian food tasting day at school There was a large assortment of different food from salty, sweet and savoury. I really liked the kacang saus because I really like sate and curries. I also liked the palm sugar it was a really sweet sugar but I didn’t like the mangosteen, it had a really disgusting flavour and I didn’t like the texture. There were some very different foods I’ve eaten before, but I hadn’t smelt some foods like that before. I didn’t really like the durian as it smelt really odd. But other than that, I liked a lot of the foods there and it was a very exciting experience.

On the 29/04/2024, Monday we got to do an Indonesian food tasting. I was expecting it to be where we got to eat cooked dishes, but we got to eat fruit and snacks, which was still okay. The highlights for me were the durians which half the people didn’t care about the smell (me included) but the other people hated it, the mangosteen was definitely the best though. I sort of feel like the guava was pretty underripe as we used to grow them and they were softer and sweeter. I tried the smallest, hottest chilli all in one bite and almost cried. The spicyness exceeded chilli and went into pure pain. My tongue only healed an hour and a half later after two glasses of milk and a carton of choccy milk. – ND
Our food tasting took place in the school hall first period. Some of my favourite foods were krupuk, krupuk looks and tastes like a prawn cracker but my favourite food was by far the three chilli’s. Even though on the last one I spit milk out because my friend made me laugh! Some of the fruit smelt a bit weird to me but most of my friends really enjoyed it. All round everyone had a great time. – JG
In Indonesian today we taste tested some of the classic fruit and veg from Indonesia. There were 4 tables, one krupuk, 2 fruit, 3 smell and feel and 1 for chilli. There was a major variety of fruit on the tables 2 and 3. Something I didn’t like was the durian; it tasted very weird. I also disliked the coconut jelly. It was too hard and sweet for me. I really enjoyed the coconut jam it was smooth and sweet, I loved it. I also liked the rice cakes dipped in sweet soy sauce, it was crunchy and sweet it had so much flavour overall. I loved it and I’m happy I got to taste so many new things.

On Monday we had a Indonesian food tasting. There was a wide variety of food we got to try. We got put into groups of six and we began the food tasting. There were four tables, one was Krupuk which is a cracker made from rice. There was also fruit, a smell and feel section and also a chill table. The best was the Keripik singkong, they were thin spicy chips. The durian had very strong smell and taste. Overall it was a delicious experience and I hope there are more food tasting events. – RG
We did a food tasting in Indonesian today, it was amazing! It was lots of fun seeing all of the different fruits and other foods that are from Indonesia. Some of the foods were quite unique, like the dragon fruit and the durians. The dragon fruit smells and tastes sweet, and inside of it is either white or pink. The durians smell terrible and taste creamy and kind of like pineapple. My favourite one is called kaya (coconut jam). It is so delicious and tastes like coconuts, hence the name. One of the most interesting things about the food tasting would be the variety of different fruits and chillies. – NM
In Indonesian class we went food tasting. Some of the food we got to try was rambutan- which was sweet; mangosteen – which was sweet; chips – that were hot; coconut jam – which tasted like chocolate truffles. I did not like the chilli as it burnt my tongue, however the mangosteen and rambutan were sweet and tasted nice. I tried some durian which was creamy and some chilli which was very hot. The durian didn’t smell or taste as bad as I expected. – EZ

Year 9 Media
In media , I love the technology side of photography and design. We learnt how to use photoshop and edit videos. We learnt about what advertisers use to trick us to buy their products. I took some photos with the school cameras, using the rule of thirds, now I can take well-composed pictures which are visually pleasing.
Raph Nelms
Eli Despotellis
I have enjoyed media so far this year because we have done many fun and interesting activities. For example, designing your own product, and learning how to photoshop and edit pictures. I have learnt a lot and hope to continue to gain more skills using technology.
Riley Crozier
Hannah Laird
As an aspiring filmmaker I chose to study media to enhance my creativity, step out of my comfort zone and learn new ways to tell stories/express myself. I’m glad to say I think I have done a little of all three of these things. We started studying advertising and right now we’re learning photography. I have enjoyed learning both these subjects and the topics inside them.
Tristan Woods
Imogen Fisher
I’ve quite enjoyed media as it’s been a subject of interest for quite a while and I was quite happy to be doing the subject, one of my favourite experiences was making an advertisement on a product (mine being a grenade hidden as a lemon) which was quite fun to film and edit too. I also have been enjoying the photos we have been taking for the photography cycle.

School Production Update
During production this term and a bit, we’ve been having heaps of fun; dancing, singing and learning the choreography to two different dances as an ensemble. The leads, who are simply incredible, have also been working on some other scenes that already look exceptional. Whilst working really hard, we’ve also been able to have the chance to work with the beautiful Gisborne secondary kids and teachers, who we’re collaborating with on The Addams Family. Ms. Scott, who’s taken charge, has, like always, been a magnificent choreographer and helped all of us progress in the stunning performance so far.
Clementine Nelms – 7
The Addams Family production has been an awesome experience. It’s been great working with the students at GSC. Some of the kids from Kyneton like myself are a bit quiet and doing the Addams Family has gotten us more courage and wanting to express ourselves. The leads, the ensemble and the backstage crew have been working hard to get this show ready for when we perform. Ms. Scott and Kitty have been great instructors and helping us feel confident. I can’t wait for when we perform in front of our family and friends.
Max Sutton-Norrie – 10
Getting to work with Gisborne secondary college in the making of this production can only be described as an extraordinary experience. Everyone is friendly and extremely talented and there have already been many friendships made. We have made lots of progress with a few of the big numbers so far and it’s easy to see that lots of effort is being put in around the board. I am so grateful to get to be a part of this production, it has such an inclusive and fun environment and it is such a fun place to be. I hope that we can continue the collaboration into next year for a new production to bring new faces into the community.
Imogen Fisher – 9
The school production of the Addams Family has been a great way for us students to get out of our comfort zone and experience something new. It has been fun to collaborate with Gisborne Secondary College, and see the talent in their students. Ms. Scott, Kitty, and the other educators at GSC make the environment really welcoming and joyful, so we can all get the most out of our time. So far, we have worked on our singing, dancing, and the choreography to a couple of different songs. I can’t wait to continue working on this masterpiece and perform it to friends and family.
Silki Di Maggio – 7
It goes without saying that this production has been such a wonderful experience for everyone participating, whether we’re rehearsing, running lines, or even just getting to know our fellow castmates. The environment has been nothing but wonderful, and its amazing to see how well this show has come together so far. Truly such a highlight of my year 🙂
Eden Levi – 10
The production has had a great start, it’s a wonderful opportunity to work with others. I really enjoy getting to know my fellow castmates the GSC students. I really enjoy doing it with my friends as well!! It’s really great to get out of our comfort zones really doing something new and different. The choreography, singing, dancing is so wonderful. Thanks Miss Scott and the others at GSC being there to help everybody. Thanks for making a wonderful production, it’s amazing how this show is so far. Can’t wait to continue on the production and perform in front of others like friends and family. This is definitely the best part of my year!
Danieka Walker – 7
The Addams Family production has been such a wonderful opportunity to really get the most out of my school experience. I’ve met so many lovely people and it’s honestly just so fun and rewarding to get to perform and rehearse, especially with my stunning friends.

Year 7 & 8 Drama
For me, Drama is a subject that I look forward to because it gives me a chance to explore even more creative pathways. I have loved exploring melodramatic scenes and roleplay, I love playing the warmup games to get everyone relaxed and ready to perform.
Arkie – 7D
Drama is such a good subject; it’s very fun and is one of my favourite subjects. I feel like I can be myself when acting. The plays we do are so enjoyable, especially when we get to work with friends.
Sam – 7D
Drama has been an amazing subject so far, with loads to do and lots to learn. I enjoy working with my friends and cooperating with my peers. I enjoy reciting my lines and rehearsing and performing small scenes with those around me. Everyone is so kind and supportive, Drama is such a fun subject!
Keira – 7D
Many students love playing drama games and acting out scenes. Some of the students even add extra lines to the script and act without using their scripts. I do not always feel comfortable acting but I am never forced to do more than I need to.
Stan – 7D
I really enjoy drama because to me, I find it a way of expressing my emotions without telling anyone. For example, we could be doing a scene and I can put all my anger or sadness into my acting. I really enjoy seeing other people perform and seeing what creative ideas they can come up with in a short amount of time- I find that really cool.
EJ – 8A
I think that Drama is a good way to have fun with your friends and it’s good to work in a low-pressure environment.
Oscar – 7D
Drama has taught and helped me to communicate with others and has gotten me comfortable with speaking and performing in front of the class. We play games to help our acting skills and it’s fun with friends. We have done small performances and that has helped me very much. It’s fun to have a good laugh and it’s amazing when we wear costumes to match our characters.
Mia – 8A
So far, Drama has been quite fun with all of the games and activities we have done. Some of the games hep us become more comfortable and secure as a class. Drama is used to help us become more confident to perform in front of the class and small audiences. I have acted out different scenarios and characters in front of the class with my friends.
Aliyah – 8A
Year 10 Physical Sciences
Year 10 Physical Sciences finished off Cycle 1 with the launch of the rockets they had been building for the previous 6 weeks. Students had learned about forces, Newton’s Laws and aerodynamics and put their knowledge to good use in designing rockets to fly as high as possible and to deploy small parachutes to slow their descent. There were some wonderful designs and students were buzzing after launch!
The following week, the class also had the opportunity to attend the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix. It was a great day that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and a perfect opportunity to see a real-life application of the ideas students had learned about in the cycle.

Athletics Carnival
Baynton Redfins took home the coveted shiny silver cup this year!
Mr Perera – The action photographer in action!
On Wednesday 24th of April, Kyneton High School ventured off to the Keilor Little Athletics Centre for our annual Athletics Carnival. It was a clear sunny day and spirits were high as it was our second time at this new venue. There was a huge level of participation in the track and field events and those not competing got around their peers in support. The teachers had much fun using the walkie talkie system to stay connected between events and there was a never-ending line at the ice cream and hot drink van that was in attendance.
The overall winners for the day were the Baynton Redfins, followed by Campaspe in second place. After a mountain of positive feedback from students and staff about the day, we are excited at the prospect of this being what our school Athletics carnival looks like from now on! A huge thankyou to Kristin Oliveri for helping with transport of equipment, along with running the BBQ. The burgers were hot and a big seller for next year!
An even bigger thankyou to Teegan Swinden for her behind the scenes help and ensuring all information was ready to go for each event. Special thanks to all staff for your assistance on the day. These days don’t happen without everyone’s support.

We are super proud of this achievement.

Our Year 7 Men’s and Women’s volleyball teams ventured out to Epping for this event. These teams have been training hard this year in preparation for competition day. Both teams had success on the day and just missed the final by a couple of points.
Other staff on the day had nothing but high praise for the quality our students produced. Overall it was a successful day and the students should be really proud of their efforts.

Phase Out Of Canteen Phone Payments
As a part of the Department and government’s update and reinforcement of the mobile phones in schools policy, we are entering a phase out period for phone payments at the canteen.
Previously, we have allowed students to use their phones to pay at the canteen, as long as they only have it out to pay, and then put it away.
Thanks to the introduction of the Flexischools Canteen App (see instructions below), students are now in a position where they may order and pay for their lunch/recess in advance. The canteen also accepts cash and card payments.
From the beginning of Term 2, phones will no longer be allowed to be used to pay at the canteen.
You can find the Department of Education’s Mobile Phones Student Use Policy here
Note that this is a Ministerial policy formally issued by the Minister for Education under section 5.2.1(2)(b) of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic).

Positive Behaviour At KHS
Positive behaviours help to create a school climate where all people feel welcomed, connected, safe and ready to learn. Behaviour expectations make up our school rules and are on the KHS Schoolwide Positive Behaviour Matrix.
‘Non-negotiables’ are expected behaviours that are fair and reasonable for all. They make up our school rules. Some examples of ‘non-negotiables’ at KHS include:
– hats off in class
– wear school uniform
– bags and phones in lockers
Each day, students are informed of an expected behaviour during their Period 2 class. During this session, students are shown how they can achieve this behaviour and staff explain their responsibility in helping and supporting students. It is made clear that warnings are given alongside further consequences that reflect our school policy.
This week we have discussed behaviours such as:
– expected uniform
– phones must be in lockers
– being organised for learning
– appropriate use of toilets
– using the canteen
In each newsletter you will be able to read the school expected behaviours that have been covered for that fortnight. Please reach out to your child’s Home Group Teacher, Year Level Leader or Celene Black if you have any questions or would like to chat further.

During the Summer of 1965, celebrated actress Tallulah Bankhead entered a Los Angeles recording studio to re-record (or “loop”) just one line of dialogue from her final film ‘Die, Die My Darling’. What should have taken about 8 minutes ended up taking 8 hours.
Playwright Matthew Lombardo, using a great deal of theatrical licence, offers us a hilarious yet sympathetic guesstimation as to what may have happened in that room on that day.
