Week 6 B Term 1 2019
HSC Minimum StandardTo receive their Higher School Certificate,
all students will need to achieve a
Level 3 (Australian Core Skills Framework) in Literacy and
Numeracy. Year 10
students will have two opportunities each year from Year 10 to
Year 12 to
achieve this minimum standard. If they do not meet the standard,
they will not
receive a Higher School Certificate and will have another 5
years, post school,
to attempt the NESA tests.
On Wednesday, 27 February, SGHS
hosted an Information Evening for Year
10 students and their parents. The
evening was well attended which
showcases the school community
commitment to assisting and
supporting our students in achieving
the National Minimum Standard in
Literacy and Numeracy.
The Year 10 Deputy Principal, Jennie Dalamagas, welcomed parents
and introduced the NESA changes to obtaining a NSW Higher
School
Certificate, before Carol Eklund, Head Teacher Learning and
Engagement
explained the requirements and outlined what SGHS will be doing
to
support students in achieving this important benchmark. Ms Lyris
then
addressed the Year 10 students and their parents.

All Year 10 students will have completed online practice tests
by next week and will be given two opportunities
to complete the HSC Minimum Standard tests this year. Students
who do not meet the benchmarks will be
taken through an intensive program to strengthen their literacy
and numeracy skills.
In 2018, there were a small number of students who had not met
the minimum standard which was then tied to
their NAPLAN results. With great support from the Learning and
Engagement Faculty Team, over 90% of these
students were able to meet their target by the Term 4 2018. We
are aiming for the same level of success with
our current Year 10 students who do not meet the National
Minimum Standard in their first attempt.
After the SGHS Cross Country event on Thursday, 28 February,
staff and students were involved in a King ball
Competition. Selected house teams competed against one another
and the staff versus students was the
favoured match of the day! Good on you to all teachers and
students who participated and a BIG THANK YOU to
the staff who initiated and organised the event. The afternoon
was enjoyed by all, especially the students who
loved watching their teachers try to dodge the ball and then be
hit!!

Strathfield Girls High wants to make solar power a reality at
the school, and lead the way in powering
learning facilities with clean green electricity.
But we need your help!
We’re raising funds to install one of the largest solar power
systems in the area, so we can save on bills,
teach our kids about renewable energy solutions and help the
environment.
We are asking parents to support our goal of $40k in 40 days,
by:
