The conditions for the selection of Winter Sports are outlined below.

Please click on the image to view the sports selection sheet for winter 2019.

1. Students are to access Moodle from the schools homepage and log in. Once in Moodle they are to enter Public (paper clip symbol) and then select the 2019 Sport Selections link and follow the instructions.
    
2. Once in the 2019 Sport Selection page students are requested to nominate for ONE Grade or House Sport Activity. Please note you can only make one selection and students cannot change their selection once you click on the save button. So take care and think about your selection.
    
3. Choose carefully/wisely! We will try to give each student the sport or activity that he requests, but that may not always be possible. If a sport selection is full you will not be able to join this sport online. If a sport is full the program will not allow you to be accepted into that sport and you will have to make another selection. Remember the early bird catches the worm! Priority will be given to students who are unsuccessful in Grade sport trials.
    
4. Take careful notice of any special requirement for each sport, in particular the cost involved, venue location, transport arrangements and the equipment needed for the activity. Remember sport is compulsory/mandatory for all students including Year 12.

The senior curriculum involves a degree of flexibility due to the introduction of before and after school classes and study lessons. It is vital that the school ensures the safety and wellbeing of all students so these procedures must be followed to enable the school to track the attendance of all Year 11 and 12 students.

Our Safety, Learning and Respect matrix states clearly "Be at the right place at the right time".

1. All students must carry their timetable and student identification card, and produce them for any staff member on request.
2. Students must arrive promptly in the room indicated on their timetables, every lesson.
3. Students must remain on school premises between timetabled lessons, including at recess or lunch. Students must NOT leave the school to go to Flemington or Homebush or visit their parked car.

On Friday 14th Week 9, 7A and Ms Yong collected and raised money for the UNHCR foundation during assembly and lunch outside the canteen. In case you don’t know what the UNHCR foundation is, it is a foundation which raises money for the refugees in need. We promoted the fundraiser by asking students to bring in their lunch from home and to donate the money intended to spend on lunch to the UNHCR.

7A students Shaasi Maheswaran, Ayman Chaabou, Zane Hamad, Aditya Tiwari, Sameen Roka  and Aarav Sharma spoke at assembly, informing the school about the fundraiser and the UNHCR. “Lunch Money for Refugees” cause provides severely malnourished children with type of peanut butter substance that helps gain weight rapidly and safely. Every year around three million children under five die due to causes related to malnourishment. Yet even a severely malnourished child has a 98% chance of survival if they receive support in time.

Mrs Lea mentioned the Teachers Federation writing competition and strongly encouraged me to enter. I then ran the idea past my parents and they also encouraged me to enter it. At the time, my mind was not about winning, but it was the idea of participating and doing more external competitions, which I really enjoyed.

Of course, I would be competing against people who are also good writers and since this was an open competition about the theme of "Teachers Make a Difference", I believed that there would’ve been a lot of entries in an essay format. I also knew that many entrants would write poems. Finally, I took up the challenge and wrote this "epic" poem while I was busy with my Trials preparation.

My friends and teachers were inspiring me to write an epic poem. An epic poem has a distinctive form which allowed me to include some of my research into the journey of the history of Teachers Federation. I thought the epic form was suitable to reflect the long struggle of the Federation for better education of children. But I needed the appropriate vocabulary and tone for the epic structure.  I looked into epics such as the Odyssey and Beowulf which provided me with the register for the poem, but the research also made me realise how different my choice of words could be.
