I would like to welcome our school community to Fairhills this year. I hope everyone had some important relaxation time (I know I did!) and spent privileged time with friends and families.

New Staff

I would like to welcome the following new staff to the school.

School Captains

We are excited to announce our 2022 School Captains are Michaela and Caitlyn. They are looking forward to representing Fairhills High School this year. Congratulations Michaela and Caitlyn.

School Improvement

We have made significant structural improvements for this year to support our students.

Timetable Changes

• 10-day timetable
• 5 periods a day
• 57-minute periods

Purpose – to allow for greater flexibility in the timetable

Sub Schools

• Two sub schools
• Middle School Year 7-9
• Senior School Year 10-12

Purpose – to provide students with greater individual supports and to increase connectedness to the school

Year 9-10 Electives

• 60% plus of subjects are determined by student choice
• The vast majority of students get their first preference
• Active learning and hands on focus

Purpose – A wider range of student driven learning opportunities

THRIVE/Connect programs

• Focus on important life skills e.g. organisational skills
• Extensive time per week e.g. Year 7 – 5 periods a two week cycle
• Year 9 Connect focuses on project based learning
• Purpose – To develop essential skills for success in teen and adult life

School Enhancement

Capital Works

I am pleased to announce that the construction of the new science and technology building, music hub and landscaping will begin in May. During the construction phase designated science classes will complete laboratory experiments at KIOSC. We have also set up temporary lab spaces in the technology/Arts building at Fairhills.

Music will not be disruptive as the new hub will be a part of the Performing Arts Centre, not at the current location near the Senior School.

It will be a little crowded at school from Term 2. However, the sacrifice will definitely be worth it in 2023.

E-sign

Did you know that over 40 000 vehicles use Scoresby road every day! To capture this market an E-sign will be erected in mid-March. It will provide a virtual window into our school and the exciting programs and supports we have for our school community.

Third-dose Vaccinations

COVID-19 third-dose vaccinations are now available to 16–17-year-olds who had their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine three or more months ago.

Supporting as many eligible students as we can to be vaccinated will help make our school as safe as possible.

Getting vaccinated is one of the most important steps we can all take to get direct protection against COVID-19.

How to book an appointment

There are many convenient and accessible options to access vaccinations. These include state-wide vaccination clinics, your local GP or pharmacy.

You can book your appointment in a few different ways, including:

• online: coronavirus.vic.gov.au/vaccine
• by phone: 1800 675 398 (Coronavirus Hotline)
• using the COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Finder – COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Finder | Australian Government Department of Health
• In person: talk to your local pharmacy, doctor, or attend one of the State Vaccination Centres – more information

School Council Elections

School Council elections are upon us again.

Term of office is for two years with half of members retiring each year but eligible for re-election. Two parents, two staff members, one community member and one student end their term of office in March 2022.

There is a number of retiring members:

I wish to thank these Councillors for their contribution to the governance of Fairhills High School.

If members of the school community would like to be involved in shaping the future of Fairhills High School, please consider nominating for school council.

Timeline

What is a school council and what does it do?

All government schools in Victoria have a school council. They are legally formed bodies that are given powers to set the key directions of a school within centrally provided guidelines. In doing this, a school council is able to directly influence the quality of education that the school provides for its students.

Who is on the school council?

There are three possible categories of membership:

• A mandated elected Parent category. More than one third of the total members must be from this category. Department of Education and Training (DET) employees can be Parent members at their child’s school as long as they are not employed at the school.
• A mandated elected DET employee category. Members of this category may make up no more than one third of the total membership of school council. The principal of the school is automatically one of these members.
• An optional Community member category. Its members are appointed by a decision of the council because of their special skills, interests or experiences. DET employees are not eligible to be Community members.

The term of office for all members is two years. Half the members must retire each year, creating vacancies for the annual school council elections.

Why is Parent membership so important?

Parents on school councils provide important viewpoints and have valuable skills that can help shape the direction of the school.
Those parents who become active on a school council find their involvement satisfying in itself and may also find that their children feel a greater sense of belonging.

How can you become involved?

The most obvious way is to vote in the elections, which are held in Term 1 each year. However, ballots are only held if more people nominate as candidates than there are positions vacant.

In view of this, you might seriously consider:

• standing for election as a member of the school council
• encouraging another person to stand for election

Do I need special experience to be on school council?

No. What you do need is an interest in your child’s school and the desire to work in partnership with others to help shape the school’s future.

What do you need to do to stand for election?

The principal will issue a notice and call for nominations following the commencement of Term 1 each year. All school council elections must be completed by the end of March.

If you decide to stand for election, you can arrange for someone to nominate you as a candidate or you can nominate yourself in the Parent category.

DET employees whose child is enrolled in a school in which they are not employed are eligible to nominate as parents for the school council where their child is enrolled.

Once the nomination form is completed, return it to the principal within the time stated on the notice of election. You will receive a Nomination Form Receipt in the mail following the receipt of your completed nomination.

If there are more nominations received than there are vacancies on council, a ballot will be conducted after the call for nominations has closed.

Remember

• Ask at the school for help if you would like to stand for election and are not sure what to do
• Consider standing for election to council this year
• Be sure to vote in the elections
• Contact me for further information

It’s been a busy and exciting beginning to the school year. This year the Teaching and Learning initiatives are extensive. Not only have we introduced a suite of exciting electives at Years 9 and 10, but also implemented two new programs:

• Thrive across the school which supports students to grow vigorously, to prosper and to realise their goals.
• The Connect Program at Year 9 focuses on collaborative learning, effective communication, critical thinking and life skills.

The Years 9 and 10 Elective Program is an opportunity that allows students to specialise in a range of interest areas, and to engage with a broader set of learning opportunities. These courses are designed to appeal to a variety of interests, to explore big ideas and to promote student connection to areas of study. This initiative will lead students at Years 9 and 10 to either the Victorian Certificate of Education or Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning in Years 11 and 12.

Underpinning the school’s teaching and learning initiatives is the school’s vision of:

“Inspiring and empowering members of our school community to achieve their full potential in an inclusive and supportive environment”

Literacy and Numeracy Tutors

We are pleased to introduce our new literacy and numeracy tutors:

• Olivia Johnson
• Bec Vance
• Jacinda Thadanabath

Our tutors will support students across the school to catch-up on their learning after two years of remote and flexible learning. This government supported program, focuses on key learning areas of need and assist students to achieve their learning goals.

Respectful Relationships

In addition, the suite of Respectful Relationships initiatives will be fully introduced across the school this year. This initiative creates an influential voice across the school, and wider community, that aims to promote gender equity and respectful relations. We aim to continue to develop a workplace where our community feel respected, safe and valued with equal opportunities regardless of gender. We will continue to provide a safe school environment where students can learn about gender equality and respectful relationships in and out of the classroom.

We all look forward to many new and exciting teaching and learning initiatives that will delivered throughout 2022.

Quality Teaching Rounds

We are pleased to confirm that our school will be participating in an exciting new research project into a type of teacher professional development called ‘Quality Teaching Rounds.’

The research is being undertaken by the University of Newcastle. Four teachers from our school, as well as some of their students, will be invited to participate.

Invitations will be sent out to the relevant classes in due course. Student participation is entirely voluntary.

For further information, please contact the research manager, Tim Dean, at qtr- vic@newcastle.edu.au or phone (02) 4985 4300.

Karen Dean
Associate Principal, Staff Development/Leadership

Congratulations to students and staff in the Senior School on settling into the year, despite some hiccups with the timetabling program and the reselection of Year 9-10 electives. We have now sorted these issues and students will be engaged in the new electives from this week onwards.

Year 11-12

Thank you to the Year 11 and 12 students for involving themselves in the conferences held last week. The VCE students heard from a variety of speakers focused on understanding the VCE and VCAL programs, setting goals and building motivation. This work has been carried on in the Thrive classes which have investigated time management and goal setting. Thrive classes will continue to revisit these concepts and many other important skills involved in fully developing and supporting our VCE students.

Year 12 students also receive their Year 12 Rugby Jumpers and have been proudly wearing them.

Year 10

Students in Year 10 have also been focused on goal setting. This is a skill that needs to be developed in all our senior students and is important for a number of reasons. Some of these include:

1. Making students aware of their strengths and weaknesses. This allows a student to focus on areas to work on plus acknowledge strengths.
2. Setting goals (both short and long-term) can allow a student a sense of progress and achievement when these goals are met. This can provide an ongoing stimulus for continuing with their studies when things get difficult or challenging.
3. Helping a student to visualize and plan specific actions to achieve their own specific goals. Having clear goals can help to motivate a student to complete these actions.
4. Providing a clear direction and sense of purpose.
5. Forcing a student to set priorities and make balanced decisions.

Assistant Principal and Senior School Leader

Middle School Report

It is with great pride that we launched and introduced the new sub-school structure with the commencement of the middle school (Year 7-9) and senior school (Year 10-12) in 2022. Students now have dedicated sub-school spaces and classrooms, student led elective programs, and specialised programs such as Year 7 & 8 Thrive and 9 – Connect to focus on the development of key characteristics and dispositions needed to succeed in life.

Our focus this year in the middle school is to take our responsibility to provide the best education for our middle school students. Our guiding principles are framed around our school values of acting responsibly, building relationships and showing respect.

I feel very privileged to lead the middle school and seek to assure you that the middle school team are committed to working together to create a learning environment in which all students are respected, where all students are safe and where all students have strong voices.

I very much look forward to working with all our middle school parents/carer, students and families.

Year 7 Induction Program

On the 31st January we welcomed our new year 7 students to the Fairhills High School community. Students engaged in a 3- day induction program delivering sessions on setting high expectations, anti-bullying, being an upstander, team building, mindfulness, organisational skills and time-management. The highlights included building a spaghetti marshmallow tower, and designing a future time capsule to open at the end of year 12, in the 2027.

Time Capsule

To celebrate the beginning of their secondary school lives, the Year 7s recently participated in a Time Capsule activity. Students were asked to write a piece about themselves outlining their personal characteristics, their likes and dislikes and what they want to be when they grow up. Importantly they also wrote a message to their future selves. These items were sealed in envelopes, some along with other personal mementos like photos, sporting medals and drawings and placed in a chest for safe keeping. These treasures will be unlocked when the students reach Year 12 in 2027. It is always fun to see how students have developed over the years and to give them a chance to reflect on their younger selves .

English News

We have welcomed our new Year 7s by asking them to write an introductory letter to their teachers. It was wonderful to learn about them all, and see what awesome writers they are.
All middle school classes will be starting their lessons with silent reading as soon as we have book trolleys set up. Students are also welcome to bring a book from home to read.

Humanities News

Our Year 7s have been learning about what Geography is. They did some awesome brainstorming. They also investigated what ‘place’ and ‘environment’ is by using Google Earth and maps. Some of us live in very interesting places.

Languages News

Welcome to the Year of the Tiger!

Our Japanese classes are grrrrowling along with their learning capably. Year 7s have learned how to greet and farewell in class, some basic greetings, and how to recognise the 3 different Japanese scripts. Year 8 Accelerated students have been learning about Japanese food and a traditional comedy called manzai. Some of them have already wowed Winstone sensei at lunchtime with their skits. Year 9 and 10 Anime and Manga our new elective have been learning about the history of anime and manga.

Maths News

Year 7 maths classes this year are participating in a trial of the Edrolo textbook. Edrolo have provided free textbooks for all year 7 students. These books have now been 

distributed to students. They will also have access to the Edrolo online platform. This should be available soon. As part of this arrangement classes will be visited and observed by Edrolo staff so we can provide valuable feedback to help them make the best learning resource possible.

Science News

In preparation for the refurbishment of G-block, we are currently preparing to pack up and move all of our science materials and equipment. The staff have already relocated their desks. As our science labs will be out of commission for most of the year. We will do our best to continue to do practical activities. This might sometimes happen in art rooms or even the kitchen. We also plan to use the laboratories at KIOSC. We can’t wait until the new Science/Technology building is built.

Wellbeing

As we kick off 2022, I am very excited to be welcoming some new faces to our Wellbeing Team. Bec, Maddy, Michelle, Petrina, and Steph have joined us as part of their work placement for social work and counselling studies. They will support students individually, run school-wide campaigns, and facilitate lunchtime group activities throughout semester one.

The wellbeing Team also welcomed our Year 7s. As part of our induction program, we facilitated team-bonding activities, programs to promote building positive relationships, being responsible members of our community, and embodying our school values.

As our Year 7s started their journey, the Wellbeing Team also ran programs for our Year 12 Conference as they commenced the final lap of their schooling. We focused on making the most of their final year, while our Year 11 Conference programs focused on positive psychology, goal-setting, and time management.

The Wellbeing Team is excited and focused on facilitating programs across all our year levels to promote and develop the optimal wellbeing of all our students.

“Everyone you admire was once a beginner.” – Jack Butcher

Accessing Support through Wellbeing

The Wellbeing Team can assist students in accessing the support they need to navigate challenges that may impact their ability to engage in learning or general feelings of Wellbeing. For example, the Wellbeing Team can engage the student or family in an initial assessment of need, short term counselling or skills development or referrals to external support agencies. Students may also be encouraged to access self-help strategies or resources. We will explore the best options for each student.

We encourage students and/or parents to contact the year level leaders for wellbeing referrals. You can also make an appointment with someone from the Wellbeing Team by attending the Wellbeing Centre or contacting us via email at wellbeing@fairhillshs.vic.edu.au

Teachers who have concerns about a student may also refer them to the Wellbeing Team through their Year Level Coordinator.

If you or anyone you know needs immediate support, please contact kidshelpline or lifeline on the numbers at the bottom of this page.
