During Humanities in Term one, 7A and 7B learnt about the culture and ways of living in Ancient Egypt. We made models at home of Ancient Egyptian Artefacts. They ranged from pyramids to detailed replicas of hunting weapons. They were all amazing. Later in the term, we mummified oranges and each other to learn about the process of mummification. We often finished off the lessons with Walk Like an Egyptian in Just Dance. We all learnt so many new things!

Bubbleology

Students at Year 7 level are starting to learn about mixtures. As a fun way to start the topic we completed an investigation on Bubbleology! Students had to determine which of the three independent variables of glycerol, water and dishwasher liquid was going to give them the strongest and largest bubble. We have had many attempts for the largest bubble, with inter-home group competition along the way.
Nellie from 7B did a great job of blowing a bubble with a diameter of 41cm!!

Year 11 Classical Studies Archaeological Dig

IMG 0764 res - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning
IMG 0760 res - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning

In Area of Study 2: Myth and Archaeology, the Yr 11 Classical Studies Students have been applying their understanding of the archaeological method outside the classroom. By participating in a class competition whereby student teams:

  • Prepare a dig site by burying artefacts at three different strata (layers)
  • Apply the archaeological method to a dig site prepared by one of the other teams. They do this by laying a grid over their site, then carefully stripping and excavating their site. Then once they find an artefact, they collect, identify, preserve and document their finds.

 Much fun was had in this process. Once complete the students reconvened in the classroom to analyse their results. The winning team was the one that could correctly find the most artefacts that were buried at their site and correctly identify the artefacts location within the strata.

The winning team was made up of Arabella Taylor, Rhiannon Winchester, Georgia Ricci and Tess Langman and they thoroughly enjoyed receiving their prize of Subway vouchers for their efforts.

Year 11 VCAL PDS Projects

IMG 0744 res - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning
IMG 0743 res - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning
IMG 0741 res - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning

The purpose of the VCAL Personal Development Skills is to develop student knowledge, skills and attributes that lead to self-development and community engagement.

This semester all students in Mr Hill’s VCAL class have chosen projects that reflect their interests & passions, and capitalises upon their skills. Here are some examples of the projects undertaken and in progress at the moment.

One group of Yr 11s have decided to offer to KHS staff a car cleaning service.

  • Outside clean- includes a wash and chamois dry- $10
  • Inside clean- includes vacuum and detailing- $20
  • Combo deal- $25

All monies raised are going toward supporting another group of Yr 11 VCAL PDS students whose project is to fix up our school cricket pitch. This has included re-concreting and patching up our existing cricket pitch, so that we can purchase artificial turf, which this group pf students will permanently lay on top of our existing pitch.

Prior to our old Home-Eco building being demolished, another group of students salvaged several bench seats to be refurbished and relocated for student amenity along the basketball courts and in other selected locations around the school. These students have strenuously dug up, sanded and are in the process of removing old wooden legs and replacing/ reattaching with steel legs that have been re-purposed from old pieces of outdoor play equipment. Once this stage is complete these students will give the bench seats a fresh coat of paint and identify where they will locate the new seating. This will then require them to dig in these seats and re-concrete them in. Interestingly these are the same group of students that led the removal and re-concreting in of our Soccer and AFL goals posts.

It is with great pride that I support these students in their teams pursuing their chosen projects. They take great pride in their work as individuals and teams as they demonstrate their prowess in their existing skill set. Such work reflects our school values of Excellence and Sustainability. Whether it is in detailing a car, using a chamois to polish a car, concreting using a trowel or fixing up recycled bench seats, these students demonstrate that successful application of learning has many guises.

Strong Stomach Science

8L Science have been learning about the different Body Systems. They completed a heart dissection to help them discover how the heart works to pump blood. The students were amazed to see how the left and right sides work differently to pump blood.

Library Activities

Book Review Team

Several times a term we have a get-together for students who love to read, where they can access our new books before they go on the shelves. They can borrow any of the books that appeal to them, and in return we ask that they write a very short review to publicise the books to other students. As a bonus there is always some home-made cake to share! If your child loves to read we would love to see them in the Library for this activity. It is advertised on Xuno, and is usually on at lunchtime on a Thursday, so please encourage your kids to attend.

!!!Surprise your Eyes!!!

Each Wednesday lunchtime we run an interesting, intriguing, or just plain silly video to entertain students while they eat lunch. This is a great opportunity for students to relax together, and watch something they have probably never seen before!

Craft Club

This term the Craft Club will be meeting in the Library at Recess on Thursdays, for students to meet together to work on any craft projects they have in progress. This could be knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, or papercrafts. We have a huge pile of Mollie Makes magazines, and a lovely collection of new craft books to look through for inspiration.

Co-Curricular Program Club Captains

This year we have diversified and distributed the Student Leadership roles across a number of areas.

One such area is our very successful Recess and Lunchtime Co-Curriculum Activities, Clubs and Sports. Whilst teacher mentors facilitate the wide range of opportunities we offer our students, it is the work of individual students day in day out, week after week, consistently helping the organisation and running of these Co-Curricular offerings that enables our successs in this area.

One such example is the long running and hugely successful KHS Dungeons and Dragons Club.

Careers

Careers Bits & Pieces
from Ms Trembath – Careers Co-ordinator

Year 9 Morrisby online quizzes and questions
The beginning of the Morrisby career advice program begins for all Year 9 students on the 6-10th of June. Parents and carers should check XUNO for permission forms. Students will have an individualised report created for them and a chance to meet with an independent careers advisor. The online quizzes are the part of a process where students will learn about what skills and abilities they could bring to a job as. They will find out about what jobs match their abilities, interests and personality, and the subjects they need for those jobs.  

Year 10 Work Experience
Thank you to all families and students that have organised placements. The work experience week is from the 6-10th of June. Students need to return signed forms to school asap. There are also two compulsory OHS modules (safe@work) that we’ll be completing in preparation for work experience in Term 2. 

La Trobe Aspire & VU Guarantee Programs
La Trobe Early Admissions Program ‘Aspire’ opens on the 26th of April.

SCHOOL NOTICES

Greenline2 - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning

Uniform

It has been great to see most of our students supporting the implementation of the new uniform.

During this term, there have been some extended uniform passes granted due to uniform supply chain and some other issues. I would like to remind all students and families that these passes will be expiring at the end of this term. I have contacted Noone – the uniform supplier – who have informed me that they now have most items available and are in the process of filling and sending out the few back orders that are still on standby. Therefore, it is our expectation that all students will be in correct uniform by the start of Term 2. Please find the KHS Dress Code and Uniform Items documents below.

REMINDERS

  • Shoes must be all black, all enclosed and all leather (or non-animal leather). Trainers are fine as long as they are all black and all leather. Ankle boots such as Doc Martens and Blundstones are fine as long as they are all black and all leather. These should not be higher than ankle height. See the pictures in the document for more details and sample images.
  • Sport shorts, track pants and polos may only be worn during practical PE classes. If the student has practical PE in period 1 they may wear the sports uniform to school for the P1 class and then change into academic wear for remainder of classes. Students cannot wear sports shorts/trackies with their academic uniform.
  • The rugby top and soft shell jacket can be worn with both the academic and sports uniforms.
  • Any non-uniform extra layers worn for warmth (e.g. undershirts) must not be seen over the uniform. No hoodies!
    • If wearing long sleeves under a short sleeve top for extra warmth, wear a jumper or jacket on top.
  • Accessories like hats, beanies and ties must be from the approved uniform items.
  • All uniform items may be worn by students of any gender – there is no ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ uniform.
  • All uniform items can be worn year round – there is no ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ uniform, though we encourage students to dress appropriately for the weather.

WHERE TO BUY

Uniform items can be purchased from directly from Noone’s Bendigo store, or online.

Noone Bendigo Store : 21 Queen Street, Bendigo, Vic. 3550
Phone : 03 7018 4199 Email: bendigo@noone.com.au

As of April 1st, Noone advises they do not have every item in every size, so we would advise calling the store to check before heading to Bendigo.

Trading Hours : Monday to Friday 9.00 am – 5.00 pm; Saturday 9.00 am – 12.00 pm. Closed Sunday & public holidays.

Online Store : https://www.noone.com.au/school/kyneton-high-school/shop

Financial support
If you are facing hardship, please contact Cheryl in the office to discuss options (5421 1100).

VARIATIONS TO UNIFORM

If there is a medical, religious or cultural reason why your child might need to wear a long-term variation of the approved uniform, then you need to write to Ana Rees, the Principal, on kyneton.hs@education.vic.gov.au requesting approval for variation. Those who have already had confirmation of Ana’s approval in writing don’t need to apply again next term.

If there is a short-term reason why your child is out of uniform, for example the correct item has become damaged and requires a period of time to repair/replace it, then please give your child a note to take to the General Office prior to the first bell of the day and they will be issued a uniform pass. From next term these will not be issued for more than a week at a time.

Turning pages - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning Call For Volunteers Turning pages - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning

We are looking for new volunteers for the Turning Pages program at KHS to work with Year 7 students one-to-one on their literacy skills.

Turning Pages is a fantastic program designed for non-teachers to help anyone to improve their reading and spelling – it’s so structured that there is no planning or making anything up – once you’re trained you just open the book and teach what’s on the page.

You only need a couple of hours a week (more if you like!) on days and times to suit you.

NIE - Kyneton High School - Excellence in Teaching & Learning

On-going support is provided by Jackie Nieuwenhuizen – trainer and co-ordinator for Turning Pages.
If you are interested please contact the office on 5421 1100 or kyneton.hs@education.vic.gov.au

I am writing to let you know that Study Club, an initiative by Squishy Minnie Bookstore,
Kyneton Community House, and the Victorian Government, is starting up again next term.
Study Club is open to all high school age students from the Macedon Rangers. It will be run
at Squishy Minnie on Thursdays from 3:45pm to 6pm starting May 5th during term times.
Study Club is a place for young people to do their homework or study. They are invited to do
their own thing or work together. It is an opportunity to find a quiet place to study, to get
extra help, share skills, strategies, and ideas or simply access the internet.
Also starting in term two, Kyneton Community House, with the support of the Victorian
Government, is running Folio Cub. It is open to all year 10 and VCE students from the
Macedon Rangers. It will be run at KCH’s new location, 35 High Street, Kyneton, on Tuesdays
from 3:45-6pm, starting May 10th, also during term times.
Folio Club is a place where young people have an opportunity to work on their art folio.
They will have access to some art materials and the internet. They can share skills, and
bounce ideas off each other. We aim to provide students with opportunities to visit galleries
and have local artists drop in and discuss their practice.
In term two, Study Club and Folio Club will be facilitated by me, Jacquilyne Smith. I am a
retired teacher and a local to the Kyneton Community. I have a bachelor’s degree in Fine
Arts and a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education. I have also studied English Literature,
Archaeology, Sociology and Film Studies at the Australian National University. I have taught
Art (7-12), Humanities, Textiles, and Literacy at Kurunjang Secondary College and Kyneton
High School. I am now a practicing artist.

In 2020/21 we reviewed and remodelled our Youth Ambassador program to ensure the activities it offers are relevant, and useful for young People in the Shire.  In 2022, there are two main ways young people can participate in the Youth Ambassadors program: GREEN MEANS GO and LEADERS IN THE LOOP.

GREEN MEANS GO

Got a passion project you want to get started, or one you want to keep go, go, going? GREEN MEANS GO gives dollars and project support to young people looking to do just that.

•            Supports young people in pursuing projects they are passionate about

•            Offers financial support of up to $1000 for selected projects

•            Offers worker time and skills support through a series of project ‘cluster’ workshops

•            Participants can apply by pitching their projects through our Green Means Go ‘Pitch’ Portal

LEADERS IN THE LOOP

Know what young people want and want to tell us? LEADERS IN THE LOOP gives young people a seat and a say at the Council and community consultation table.

•            Supports young leaders by bringing them into consultation and decision making loops

•            Enables young leaders to feedback directly to decision makers in the community

•            Offers remuneration to young leaders for their time and input, into consultations

•            Participants can apply by registering their interest through the Leaders in the Loop portal

Applications are now open for Green Means Go and Leaders in the Loop: www.mrsc.vic.gov.au/leadership
