The Trial examinations are a particularly stressful time for our Year 12 students (and parents) as the revision and preparation time is less than for the HSC Examinations. The battle now for all Year 12 students is to refocus and complete all syllabus requirements. Year 11 students should be in full preparation for their Preliminary HSC Examinations which will commence at the start of Week 9 and conclude at the end of Week 10. A number of our VET students have been out on Work Placement recently and it is always great to hear positive feedback from the employers who support this program. Without them our students wouldn’t be able to gain the valuable life experiences that go hand-in- hand with this program. Congratulations to those students who have been offered ongoing employment through this avenue. Just a reminder Casino High School is hosting a dinner meeting for interested Parents/Carers to share what they would most like their child to gain from his/her learning at Casino High School. The meeting will be held at the Casino RSM in the Peppercorn Room, Wednesday, 5 th September 6.00pm to 8.00pm. Food will be provided for all the Parent/Carers and community members attending. Please note this date is an amendment to the previous date provided in our Week 4 Newsletter. If you would like to attend please visit the school’s office or telephone the school (6662 3077) to book a place before 3.20pm Friday, 31 st August. Entry will only be available to those Parents/Carers or community members who have RSVP’d, to allow for catering arrangements. As this is a school function alcoholic beverages will not be permitted. A special thank you to the Parents/Carers who help in the school canteen and attend our P & C Meetings. Your contribution to our school community is invaluable.

From the Deputies ...Ms Kearney and Miss Bennett
The countdown is well and truly on for our Year 12 students with only 4 weeks left of timetabled lessons.
Having just completed their Trial HSC Exams, it is now time for the students to consolidate their learning.

To complete their fundraising efforts, Year 12 will be having a slave auction on Tuesday 25th September.
This auction will be held during Break 2 with the Year 12 students being slaves during period 5.

SHOW TEAM NEWS
Limitless Cattle Supplies Online Steer Show
Murray Grey Steer Bullet with Taj Currie leading Angus X Steer Oreo with Phoebe McMillan leading
Casino High School show team took the opportunity to enter an online steer competition, the first of its kind. The
students entered the steers online by taking photos and videos of the steers parading in the ring and loading them
onto the facebook page which had been set up by the competition organisers, Limitless Show Cattle and Supplies.
Our two steers Oreo and Bullet both performed extremely well placing 3rd in their classes against some tough
opposition. Our steers were already finished off for the most part and still have two months to go before the next
round of local shows. The students all had a great time preparing and presenting the cattle for this new online
show competition.
