A Message from the Year 12 Coordinator

Welcome to our final Newsletter for the year!

It has once again been a busy year with many activities and events around the school. Last Friday night was a classic example, with the talented performances of our students in the fabulous end of year concert (despite the threating weather!).

The IB Diploma Programme examination period commenced on Tuesday 30th October and finished two weeks ago, on Thursday 16th November. Following this, the Graduation Dinner was held at the RACV Club in Melbourne, a new venue this year. This was once again a lovely evening with staff, family and friends sharing the occasion with our 58 wonderful graduating students. The night consisted of entertainment provided by students, the presenta-tion of the graduation certificates, a number of speeches and the presentation of the Academic, Community and Principal’s Awards. A list of these awards can be found later in this newsletter. Pro-fessional photographs of the night are still available from Happy Medium Photo (www.happymedium.com.au) and a link to the professional video will soon be made available through the school (please contact student services for further information). Our Year 12 Graduates are now eagerly awaiting their results, which will be sent to the school on Thursday 4th January and made available thereafter. If students want to access their results online on Friday 5th January, they will need their PIN to access the results from the IB. Whilst some early conditional offers have already been received, the majority of university offers will come later in Janu-ary. Like many previous years, our students have applied to many world renowned institutions both here in Australia and in places such as Canada, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan the United Kingdom and the USA. I am sure that our students will go to become great ambassadors for our school, whichever pathway they embark upon.

Our Year 11 students commenced examinations today and will con-tinue through to next Thursday. It has certainly been a busy term for the Year 11’s as they have been completing some of the man-datory requirements for the IB. Recently Physics students have completed their experimental work for their Internal Assessment and written a draft report. TOK orals have now been completed and most students have made reasonable headway into their Extended Essay. It is vital that students continue to work on the Extended Essay during the summer break, staying in communication with their supervisor, so that they can meet the deadline for submission in the middle of the year next year.

Let me wish all students and families a safe and relaxing holiday. The 2018 school year commences for all students on Tuesday 30 January.

And now for the solution to the last newsletter question:

Level of difficulty (Years 5-6)

A square ABCD with a side of 6cm is joined with a smaller square EFGC with a side of 4cm as shown. What is the area of the shaded shape BDFE?


There are a number of ways to solve this problem. I have divided the shaded shape into two triangles.

1 0.5 4 4 82EFD FGArea EF Height= × × = × × =

1 0.5 2 6 62DBE ABArea BE Height= × × = × × =

Therefore the total Area = 8+6=14

And now for the Christmas end of year question:

Level of difficulty (Year 9 & 10) – Very Hard

German Class Make Gingerbread Houses“The tradition of making decorated gingerbread houses started in Germany in the early 1800s. According to certain researchers, the first gingerbread houses were the result of the well-known Grimm’s fairy tale “Hänsel and Gretel” in which the two children abandoned in the forest found an edible house made of bread with sugar decorations. After this book was published, German bakers began baking ornamented fairy-tale houses of Lebkuchen (gingerbread). These became popular during Christmas, a tradition that came to Australia with German immigrants. According to other food historians, the Grimm brothers were speaking about something that already existed.”


Twilight ConcertThunderstorms were predicted, but our outdoor Twilight Concert has become a feature of The Kilmore In-ternational School’s calendar and we knew that the weather would be kind to us. And it was! After an initial early shower, the evening was balmy and cool.

Two hundred parents, friends and teachers gathered on the oval to watch our Music students display their talents. Every class from Grade 3 to Year 9 presented a performance, with every single student taking a role on stage. The juniors sang popular Christmas songs and brought a bubbling excitement and joy to their performances. Each class of older students each presented a song of their own choice that they had arranged and rehearsed for the preceding months. No backing tracks were used – the music was all the students’ own.

Our ensembles were also on display: our Orchestra, which played Pachelbel’s Canon; our Junior Rock Band with “Sunshine of Your Love” and our Senior Jazz group with “Cissy Strut”. Our pre-concert perfor-mances featured students presenting original material as well as covers.

This was the final performance that William Howard oversaw as Head of The Arts at TKIS. Students spon-taneously burst into a sung tribute to him, displaying their affection and regard for his contribution to the school, a feeling shared by the school community.

Our Student Leaders ran a sausage sizzle and we had coffee and gourmet potatoes available as well. It was a delightful evening that showcased our flourishing Music Program and the support it carries from the Kilmore community.

Lachlan Wins UN Voice State Finals

Lachlan Heywood was presented with his certificate by Alan Griffin, former parliamentarian and member for Corinella. To the right is Renee Watkin, organiser of the UN Youth ‘Voice’ Competition in Victoria.

Year 10 student, Lachlan Heywood, has been chosen to represent Victoria in the National UN ‘Voice’ com-petition to be held next April. This is the third time Lachlan has succeeded in reaching the nationals, having first competed when he was in Year 8. Lachlan attributes his success to having a comprehensive under-standing of his solution to his chosen issue which enables him to answer the judges’ follow up questions with confidence and convince them of the viability of his proposal. Lachlan also credits his parents, friends and debating coordinator, Ms. Gower, for discussing ideas with him and offering feedback on his speech.

Year 9 students Eve Simner and Oscar Micik and Year 7 student Edward Plunkett also took part in the State Finals held at Docklands Library. They were given six issues to choose from and had to propose a solution. Topics included:

- How can we improve young people’s understanding of Australian history? - How can we prepare Australians for a changing workforce? - How can we ensure the transparency and effectiveness of Australian charities? - How can we increase access to medicines in the developing world? - How can we fight cyberterrorism as an international community? - How can we respond to the impacts of climate change in the Asia-Pacific region?

Edward and Oscar both presented ideas for improving young people’s understanding of Australian history, particularly the history of the first Australians. Edward explained the need for a variety of educational expe-riences such as incursions and giving students the opportunity to learn from indigenous people. Oscar had the innovative idea of running short, entertaining films on Australian history to be screened on TV between programs or in ad breaks. Eve tackled the issue of climate change and suggested that countries should be undertaking measures to reduce flooding by building dams and sea walls. The standard of the competition was very high indeed and the organisers urged competitors to participate next year.


How can we prepare Australians for a changing workforce?Lachlan Heywood’s Speech at the UN Voice State Finals

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Today, as I stand in front of you to speak, my working future is uncertain. In recent decades manufacturing jobs have been lost to overseas markets. But now a worker’s biggest threat is losing their job to artificial intelligence. From factory work to accounting, AI poses a major threat to the job market. According CEDA, approximately 40% of all workers or more than 5 million people will be replaced by automation within the next two decades. It is as clear that we need to prepare for this in order to protect our families and our workers.

Today, I propose a two-part solution to prepare for this change.

• Firstly, the implementation of universal basic income

• Secondly, an updated education system that prepares Australians for the rise of AI

Firstly, I would like to explain the idea of implementing a Universal Basic Income scheme in Australia. This would entail every Australian over the age of 16 receiving a basic income on a fortnightly basis. This income would be enough for a person to afford basic needs like food, shelter and education. For those who lose their jobs to AI, this money will enable them to provide for their daily needs while they learn a new set of skills or find a way to serve society. For those who are working, this income will relieve the stresses of day to day costs, allowing them to explore their more creative side. Ultimately, this basic income will replace many of the current welfare schemes.

In 2009, in a small study a group of homeless people were given a basic income. Many would assume they would waste this money. However, the majority of the group were incredibly frugal and used the money well. By the end of the first year, 85% of the group had a roof over their heads. This small study shows how this income can help Australians as often its only money that people need to get going. This scheme will allow all Australians to chase their dreams because of the protection this income will give them. This idea is not simply a utopian dream but a step that we must take to help Australians prepare for the ever changing and uncertain future. It is key to our future happiness.

Now I am aware that many will object because of the cost of this scheme. It is important that we remember that this is a long term investment, one that will support Australians in years to come as we move away from traditional work. I think it can be paid for by the introduction of a tax on business and companies who are using AI. This could be a relatively large tax as companies will not need to pay robots like they do to humans and should therefore be making large profits. This tax would also be in the interest of the companies, as people who have lost work may not have the money to afford goods and services on offer. Universal income will give them the spending power to buy good produced by AI. In addition to these taxes, money currently being used in other welfare schemes will be moved to this new scheme.

While helping Australians financially is a good start, the implementation of a forward looking education system is essen-tial. New course will be developed in both secondary and tertiary education and will compulsory for all students. The secondary program will not focus so much on delivering facts, but will develop skills which can be adapted to diverse sit-uations. Therefore the new curriculum will involve developing students’ creativity and problem solving skills. These skills can help students adapt to the changing workforce and be more open minded when deciding how they want to develop their personal strengths. Tertiary students would also be required to undertake courses which teach a range of skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, emotional intelligence and working with AI. I am sure many of you will be asking what happens to those who are already in the workforce or those who do not attend tertiary institutions. This is where the basic income can help. When people lose their jobs they will still have an income to fall back on, thus allowing them to go back and study at university. At this point they will have access to the new courses in the education system which will help them get back on their feet. Those who want to explore new careers will be able to do so as they won’t feel bound to continue with jobs they don’t enjoy. Instead they can take risks as they can survive on the universal income. This will encourage risk taking which will give rise to human creativity and ingenuity.

In Australia we pride ourselves on our ability to care for all citizens not matter their race, gender or religion. That is why we must create certainty for the future of our workers and our nation. If we can firstly offer financial support, before helping our citizens to find new skills while protecting and creating new jobs we can create a more certain future. As Australians we must address this problem today because one day it may this problem may threaten our livelihood. If we address this problem, we can ensure certainty for an already great nation like Australia!


Junior Debating Program

Our 17 young debaters from Years 7 and 8 have successfully completed the Debating Association’s Junior Debating Program. The Program offers training from experienced debaters and gives students an opportu-nity to practise their debating skills in a mini tournament against other schools. This year our debaters were presented with three challenging topics: We should have video surveillance in all public places; Hollywood movies should be true to history; and Space exploration is not worth the cost. These topics required careful research and the teams had to work closely together to present clear and cohesive arguments as well as planning rebuttals against the opposition. All our volunteer debaters are to be congratulated on their hard work in researching and writing speeches as well as being great representatives of TKIS.

Special Mentions

Grace Heywood, Lachlan Partridge, Edward Plunkett and Ramneekjot Multani each received ‘Best Speak-er’ awards.

The Year 7 boys’ team (Leo, Edward, Sanjiev, Lucas and Ramneejot) won all three debates. Of the 27 teams taking part in the competition, only three were undefeated so our Year 7 boys can feel very proud of themselves!

Thanks to Declan Pearson and Tiffany Lamb for their willingness to replace absent team members at the last minute. Their dedication and team spirit is much appreciated.

Next year, our current Year 7 students will have the opportunity to join the program again while our current Year 8 students will be able to join the main schools’ competition which encompasses 5 preliminary rounds followed by a series of finals in which top teams from different regions play against one another.

Thanks to Mr. Scroggie and Mr. Archer for driving the bus to this event.


Space exploration is not worth the costSpeech by Lucas Edmonds for the Negative Team

In tonight’s debate on ‘Space exploration is not worth the cost’ I will be making 2 main arguments: firstly, we the Negative team believe that space exploration is worth the cost because it has the potential to solve our energy problems. And secondly, it may actually save the human race by enabling us to inhabit other plan-ets.

Space exploration is worth the cost because it can solve our energy problems. Take for example, Helium 3. What’s that, you may ask. Well, Helium-3 is gas that has the potential to be used as a fuel in future nuclear fusion power plants. Unfortunately, there is very little helium-3 available on the Earth. BUT there are signifi-cant supplies on the Moon. Only 1 kilogram of Helium 3 produces 19 megawatt-years of energy. In fact only 2000 kilograms could power the US for an entire year! Just imagine that! Furthermore, Helium 3 doesn’t pollute the environment, cause radioactive waste, or endanger surrounding areas. Now, in 2013 the US government spent $18.4 billion USD on NASA and a massive $1.2 trillion USD on energy. If NASA can help solve the energy crisis by bringing Helium 3 from the Moon, then all investment in their research would defi-nitely be considered worth the cost.

Now, onto my second point. If we explore space we will find other planets that humans are able to live on. Global warming is already a reality and our expanding population is putting an increasing strain on Earth’s resources. We may need to consider the possibility of inhabiting other planets. This might sound like some-thing from science fiction, but Space X has already created rockets that can be reused, bringing the cost of space travel down. Elon Musk, CEO of Space X, has said we really need to develop this technology as it could be vital to save the human race. NASA has been investigating how we might inhabit Mars. One of the largest problems with living on Mars is that the atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide and temperatures can be as low as -125oC. To eliminate some of those problems NASA believes that we can change Mars’ atmosphere. This involves creating a magnetic field for Mars, which would make its atmosphere thicker and cause the temperature to rise. The magnetic field can be created by placing a powerful closed electric circuit in front of Mars. This closed electric circuit would deflect any high energy charged particles created by the Sun, allowing Mars’ atmosphere to thicken. This would allow Mars’ atmosphere to become half as thick as Earth’s in only a few years and make it closer to becoming a place where we could live.

To conclude, the Negative team believes that space exploration is worth the cost, as it can solve the energy crisis by providing efficient, clean, cheap fuel and could save the human race from extinction by providing us with a new home planet.

7A’s Story Book Project7A have produced a wonderful book recounting the traditional Wurundjeri tale of how the crow stole fire. The book was mostly produced in Miss Booth’s art class with each student producing a print using linocut to illustrate the story. Eden Hopkins volunteered to copy the story in calligraphy during the holidays. Eden said she didn’t have much experience of this kind of lettering but enjoyed teaching herself from the internet. Certainly the beautiful handwriting adds to the uniqueness of the book. Miss Booth bound the book and Eden, Declan and Edward took it over to the Primary School to read the story to the students.

Army Visits TKIS

Good morning Andrew, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for letting the School of Artillery visit your school on Friday. From a professional soldiers point of view I can say that my soldiers got a lot from the visit, they were proud to display their wares and skills but moreover, represent the Australian Regular Army to the local community. All of your staff were a pleasure to work with, in particular I would like to single out Shontel and Anthony your groundsman . They were both instrumental in making the visit happen, Shontel on the organisation-al/communications side and Anthony on the physical side eg, facilitating getting our equipment in and out of the school efficiently and safely. Lastly Andrew, your students were excellent, in particular the primary age students, they asked a lot of very well though up questions that kept my team on their cognitive toes. Many thanks again and I look forward to visiting the School again sometime in the future. Regards, Troy ChartersWarrant Officer Class Two
