Indonesian News
On Monday 19th June, Year 7 Indonesian students were lucky to have a well-known Indonesian dance teacher visit Bellingen High School. Ibu Bibi Ahmed is a teacher at Scotts Head who has been instructing Indonesian Dance for many years.
The Indonesian classroom came alive with Indonesian music and colour. The students were able to dress themselves in the traditional wide-legged black pants, a sash to keep them from falling down and a wrapped headdress. Once the scene was set, the dancing started.
Ibu Bibi taught the students a traditional Randai. Randai is a folk theatre tradition of the West Sumatran people. It includes music, sound/song and Silat (a type of martial arts incorporating body percussion and beating on the wide-legged pants)
After learning a variety of moves, Year 7 students created rhythmic patterns and traditional segments, putting the movements altogether to create energy, sound and dynamism in the dance.
What a fun, exhausting time they had!

Theatre Sports Challenge with
Quirindi
Tuesday afternoon saw the
inaugural holding of the
Theatre Sports Challenge.
Competitive improvisation is
exciting, challenging,
petrifying and very, very
funny. It takes some courage
to stand up in front of a room
full of people (the tiny TLS
was bursting at the seams),
and make up an entertaining
piece of theatre ON THE
SPOT! Much hilarity ensued,
culminating in an all in session of Space Jump.
Congratulations to outstanding performers from both schools. What a
laugh!
Sunrise - New Library Competition
The final week of term saw Ms Lane’s Year 10 Film and Video class rise
to the challenge of submitting a short film to Sunrise, the morning TV
show, in the hope of winning $20,000 for a new library. Of course, we
immediately saw a potential angle with our recent troubles, so first thing
Monday morning
they got into it,
interviewing
teachers and
students; and
capturing some
heartbreaking
footage.
Fingers crossed!

Year 12
Peter Marshall from Southern Cross University will be visiting during lunch on Tuesday 18th July to assist students with their online STAR early entry applications. Year 12 will also have a short year meeting during recess on this day to be issued with a list of important dates for Terms 3 and 4. Don't forget!
All of our females are now pregnant, and the students are now just providing feed and ensuring they are kept in the best possible condition. This week Year 9 Agriculture students took them outside of their normal paddocks for some extra feed. The cows and the students enjoyed the experience. The passion fruit vine wasn’t very happy, with Harper causing some trouble to the vine (photo below right). Strange things happen when working with large animals.
The Sheep
Report Lambing should begin either late in the school holidays or early next term. The ten expectant mothers are looking extremely healthy, with students making daily health observations. Can we reach our objective of 20 healthy lambs from 10 ewes?
Chickens are Hatching
We hope so. The first batch of chickens are due to hatch out of the school incubators today. This will be the first of many batches with the aim to breed the 2018 Sydney Royal Easter Show Champion. On the second day of Term 3, 100 newly hatched chickens will arrive, and be well cared for by Year 7 students. Year 9 and 10 Agriculture students will monitor and compare growth rates of meat chickens vs layer chickens.
The layer chickens will form the 2018 layer chicken flock, supplying lots of barnyard eggs throughout 2018.
The Ryegrass Trial
This week students scored 68 different ryegrass varieties of Ryegrass for rust. We all learned a little bit more about how to conduct an industry standard scientific study. The trial will determine which variety we plant at Bellingen High School next year to supply much needed feed for our livestock, during the winter-feed gap.
The Orange Harvest Continues The easy to pick oranges have all been harvested. Now comes the hard work. We are learning why trees should be kept smaller and trimmed back each year. At the completion of harvesting, the students are very pleased to taste their value added product, freshly squeezed orange juice. No sugar was required.

HSIE News Year 7 Geography: Landscapes and
Landforms Dorrigo National Park Field Trip
Why do people value landscapes and landforms?
To what extent are landscapes and landforms sustainably managed
and protected?
On Friday 5th May, Year 7 students
travelled to Dorrigo National Park as part
of their Geography unit on Landscapes and
Landforms. The day involved two
busloads of students completing the
same tasks in different order,
joining for a barbeque lunch at the
Rainforest Centre.
Each bus stopped at Thora and
Griffiths Lookout where Uncle
Mark Flanders who discussed
Gumbaynggirr perspectives met
students. The boys were shown a
Bora ring and learnt about the
importance of initiation
ceremonies, whilst the girls visualised what the landscape would have
looked like in 1841, when European people first explored the valley.
At the Rainforest Centre, students identified
plant and animal species, learnt about
protecting and managing landscapes and then
completed the Lyrebird Walk.
Congratulations to all students for excellent
behaviour, attention and diligence in completing
the tasks for the day.
Year 8 Arrawarra
Year 8 have been studying Colonisation and Contact this term and for the
last two weeks had a focus on Gumbaynggirr Learning. The field study for
this unit involved an excursion to Arrawarra, Red Rock and Yarrawarra
Cultural Centre where Uncle Tony Perkins and Uncle Milton Duroux
shared their deep knowledge of a rich cultural heritage that included
stonefish traps, and ochre site and a 1300-year-old midden met us. Students
also learnt to identify a range of plants that were used for bush foods and
medicines, making nets and deoxygenating water to catch fish. Learning to
weave string into rope was a practical lesson while listening to the story of
the Red Rock massacre brought home the tumultuous time of the contact
period in our region.
Lunch at Yarrawarra allowed students to taste kangaroo, emu, crocodile
and Quondong pies as well as to investigate the museum display and
contemporary art exhibits.
Special thanks must go to Lucas Caulfield who provided many of the
photographs for the day.
Uncle Milton explained how milky Pandanus
mangroves were used.
The stone fish traps can be seen here Bark from the Maluga or
as the tide comes in. Cottonwood Hibiscus was used to
make nets for the fish traps.

Again, congratulations to all students for their behaviour throughout the
day. A special thanks also for the effort and work that Jenni Farrands has
put into these programs.
A Museum of Ancient Treasures
and Modern Influence
Our Senior History students were recently given the challenge of curating a
Historical Museum Exhibit. Year 11 students from the Ancient and
Modern History courses developed historical investigations into areas of
personal interest to answer some key historical questions.
The Modern History
students were given the
problem of investigating a
place, period, event or
person that ‘CHANGED
THE WORLD’! Their
selections showed a
wonderful understanding of
the diversity of influences on
the Modern World. From
the impact of individuals
such as the young Nobel
Peace Prize recipient Malala
Yousafzai, Nelson Mandela
or the youngest American
President John F Kennedy, to
events such as the invention of
Penicillin or the destruction of
the Twin Towers in New
York. Students mixed the
complex political decisions of
Irish independence, the fall of
the Berlin Wall and the US
funding in Afghanistan with
the all-pervading influence of
television. They chose and
presented a range of evidence
to demonstrate the impact of
their chosen topic and then each student turned their research into a
display of Museum quality.
The Ancient History students had a different challenge to overcome. For
them the issue was the limited evidence available from the Ancient World.
Students had to select just 6 pieces of evidence to capture a significant
ancient period, site or personality. They faced the added challenge of
needing to show an awareness of the legal, ethical and conservation issues
associated with their selected evidence.
Again, the students were up to the challenge and were able to show an
incredible understanding of a diverse cultural development across the
Ancient World. A walk through their museum would reveal the Ancient
African Empire of the Aksumites; the dedication of ancient Egyptian tomb
workers in the Valley of the Kings, the great King Rameses II, the
sophisticated culture of the ancient city of Babylon and the underwater
ruins of Alexandria. Visitors could then travel to South America and learn
of the Spanish impact on the Aztec civilisation, the city in the clouds at
Machu Picchu or move to South-east Asia and
the ruins of Angkor Wat, the power and
impact of Genghis Khan or the phenomenal
wealth of the Qin dynasty reflected in the
Terracotta Warriors. A step further found
visitors discovering the impact of the god
Apollo in Ancient Greece and the longer-term
impact of the philosophers and early
democracy of 5th Century Athens.
Family and friends visiting the museum were
able to ask students about their works as
students justified their choices of evidence for
display. All agreed that the detailed knowledge
and quality of work was excellent … and we
even managed a few smiles along the way as much fun was had in the
construction of the exhibits! Congratulations to all involved on producing
what will become an annual event in the Bellingen High calendar.

Poetry Workshops
The yearly Bellingen Readers Writers Festival Schools Program brought
three extremely talented writers into our schools, among them Australian
poet, David Hallett, who gave recitals and workshops to both senior and
junior groups here at Bellingen High School. David also worked with a
smaller group of students keen to test their slam poetry skills, hopeful of
winning a place and prize in the main poetry slam held at the Memorial
Hall.
Three of our students participated on the night, Mali Tipping, Emily
Sutherland and Byron Livingstone (pictured above), performing their
original works to a large and receptive audience. These students gained
positive benefits from David's advice and his encouragement. It was
wonderful for the English Faculty staff and our students to have the
privilege of meeting a poet of David's standing, and we hope this is
something we can repeat in the future.

Sport News NSW CHS Hockey
Year 12 student Talissa Alford showed her talent on the hockey field,
representing Bellingen High School recently at Tamworth. Talissa was
playing for the North Coast at NSW CHS Hockey Championships.
The first selection trial was held in Grafton, where Bellingen had three
girls trial and all three were successful in their selection. Year 10 girls,
Katelyn Perry, Aleisha Alford (goalie) and Year 12 Talissa Alford then
went on to a second trial also held in Grafton, where they played teams
from Port Macquarie to the Queensland border. From these games, a
team was selected to represent the North Coast to play in the NSW
Combined Highs Schools championships in Tamworth. Talissa impressed
the selectors with her skills and speed on the field, and was named in this
team.
The North Coast team came together
the afternoon before with a one-hour
training session in Tamworth. The girls
turned up the next morning and played
some fantastic hockey not dropping a
game in their pool. This put them
through to the semi-finals against
South Coast and after some fast and
skilful hockey at full time, the scores
were locked. The teams then went to
sudden death and had to drop down to
nine players a side. Unfortunately,
during this period South Coast scored
to win the game putting them through
to the final.
North Coast finished a proud overall third in the state for CHS.
Awesome Athletes
Sixty-four students represented Bellingen High School at the recent Mid
North Coast Athletics Carnival held at the International Stadium in Coffs
Harbour. This was a smaller team than last year due to the postponement
and subsequent clashes with other activities. However, the athletes that
attended produced many amazing results. The girls were absolutely
amazing and finished over 120 points ahead of the next closest school.
Overall Bellingen High came second to Coffs Harbour High by only 8
points. Thirty students have qualified to go to the North Coast Carnival in
Lismore in August, by finishing first or second in their event, however,
many more helped achieve the large point score by finishing in the top
four.
Outstanding results on the day were:

Triumphant Tragedy
The Open Girls football team played in the North Coast Final of the
statewide football competition at Connell Park on Friday 16th June. To enable
the game to go ahead a group of volunteers worked quickly prior to the game
to mow the field and mark the lines after all the wet weather. So a special
thank you to Chris Schofield, Mick Klipin, Warren Alford and Moshik Goffer.
From the start of the game the Bellingen girls dominated displaying superior
passing skills to maintain possession and set up opportunities. Despite these
opportunities, they failed to finish which left the half time score at 0-0.
The mid field were playing particularly well with Katie Thorn, Willow Neal
and Sophie Boyd showing how well the young players could work with the more
experienced players. The only times they looked vulnerable were on the fast
breaks following one of their attacking raids.
After half time the girls continued their domination and finally got a well-
deserved goal in the back of the net by Jordan Healy. The girls were still
playing strongly when one of the key defenders, Zali Rees was injured and
had to leave the field. Despite this the girls continued to dominate play and
set up many opportunities but no conversions. As time continued the game
went in to a couple of minutes injury time and with virtually no time on the
clock a simple pass back to the keeper caused an error and a corner was
conceded. The corner was taken with the clock ticking and the ball went in
near post and full time was called.
This meant the game went into sudden death extra time, which was so
disappointing when the girls already
deserved to win.
Extra time started and both teams had
opportunities but most of them were to
Bellingen. Then with only two minutes to
go, a cross by Maclean saw the ball go in
the net touched on by one of their
players. It seemed unbelievable that the
game was lost – but such is the game of
Football.
No one could be disappointed with the
way they played or the quality of the
game – the only disappointment came with
the result.
Captain Katie Thorn was clapped off the field after her last game of
competitive Football after six years of representing Bellingen High School
