Frank Gasper - Principal
Principals Report
It is hard to believe that another busy term is coming to an end. We have certainly managed to fit a lot in to
this term and I will only touch on a few of the many highlights that our staff and students have been involved
in.
Not only have we just completed half yearly exams but earlier in the term, Years 7 and 9 completed their
NAPLAN tests as well. It is a proud moment when supervising the students, to watch them diligently attempt-
ing the tests and aiming to achieve their personal best. The students were prepared and wonderfully be-
haved and we wish them all the very best when their results come out later in the year.
We were lucky to have Joey Grauner
present at our ‗Sorry Day‘ and
‗Reconciliation‘ assembly. Joey, a former
student, discussed what reconciliation
means to him whilst Lachlan Steele and
Rubi Bourke spoke about the History and
impact of ‗Sorry Day‘. The students of the
NULLA Art group received certificates for
their award winning art work and the
school was presented with a trophy on
their behalf (See trophy below). Our
didge and dance group, ‗Spirit of the
Land‘, performed and the audience was
mesmerised by their powerful performances.
I am sure that the students who attended the athletics carnival had a wonderful day. Some students were
very colourful in support of their houses. Mr Gasper‘s calling of the races was amazing and it was fun to see
the staff take on the students in the relay. Just for the record, the staff won convincingly. I would like to ex-
tend a very big thank you to the dedicated staff across the College who organised and participated in this
day, as it takes a large team to have it organised as well as we do. Setting up the events, marking the fields
and organising the paperwork take a lot of work and this helps to make the day the success that it is.

Whilst the athletics carnival was in progress, Mrs Gilchrist was running a GATS day for our partner Pri-
mary Schools. This is one of several days on our calendar where the Primary Students have the opportu-
nity to experience High School and some of the GATs activities we offer. I know that students have op-
portunities in Science, Mathematics, Writing, Journalism and many more. From the smiles on the stu-
dents faces, I could tell that they had an awesome day.
There were many more highlights this term and I am sure that you will enjoy reading about them in this
newsletter. I would like to thank the wonderful staff here at Umina Campus for their dedication
and commitment to our students and to wish our students and their families a wonderful term
break.
Kenndell Smith, Relieving Principal, June 2012
UNIFORM – It Looks Great! Parents and Students please help keep it that way
Thank you to all parents who have already supported our drive to maintain an excellent
school uniform. It will only be sustained if teachers, parents and students maintain the effort
to make our school look as great as it does now. Most Parents have obviously gone to the
effort of purchasing full uniform (including ENCLOSED BLACK LEATHER SHOES). Please
make sure students arrive at school in full uniform.
Correct BLACK Shoes
As mentioned in the letter sent to all parents last year, only enclosed leather black shoes
will be permitted as we respond to the identified OH&S risk in all areas of the school. Failure
to wear appropriate footwear will prohibit a child‘s participation in key subjects that must be
completed in order to meet DEC requirements. Even on mufti days, students must have
enclosed footwear.
We ask that all parents support this important aspect of developing school image, safety
and self esteem amongst our school community. It requires a combined effort by staff par-
ents and students to reach the standards we want for our school.
Students should not wear white sports shoes to school on sports or PE days as this under-
mines the uniform, especially as large numbers of students have these activities each day.
Students have been informed that they could either bring white sports shoes in their bag or
have a pair of black leather track shoes that can be worn all day.

Aboriginal Education The Bush Tucka Garden
Did you know that we have a bush tucka garden that is
being revitalised? In the photo, you can already see the
outline of the turtle that was constructed a few years back.
Every Monday, Mr Medley or Mrs Hannah with the help of
Joe (our ACPO) take a team of students with them to work
on rebuilding the garden. We also have community help
from Gavi Duncan, Mitch Markham and Kylie Cassidy who all work through Youth Connections.
In the short time that we have been working on the garden, the improvement has been amazing! From an
overgrown mess to a place that is really taking form. The design of the garden has been a collaborative
process with the Year 9 Aboriginal Studies class and key staff and community making decisions on how
they would like the garden to look. We have lots of plans and
are enjoying working with the students and community in
getting the garden back in shape.
If you would like to help out in the garden, please feel free to
contact the school and leave your details. As the saying
goes, ‗Many hands make light work‘.
Plain Blue Skirts & Polo Shirts are not part of the Umina Campus Uniform. The tartan
skirt can be worn at both the junior and senior campus in Year 10.
Full school uniform will be a requirement for attendance at school excursions. Financial
assistance is available to families in need, by contacting the principal and completing
a student assistance application.
OUT OF UNIFORM NOTES FROM PARENTS
If a student is unable to wear uniform on a particular day, we ask that parents provide a
note indicating the problem and when the student will be back in uniform. This makes it
easy to distinguish from some students who may choose not to wear uniform. This should
be shown to the roll teacher and others who may enquire during the day.
ALL NOTES – whether for absences, uniform or any other reason must be written
entirely by the parent / guardian – not written by the student and merely signed by an
adult. This makes it harder for bogus notes to be presented, as sometimes occurs.

Aboriginal Education (contd)
Bush Tucka Café
Did you know that we have the ‗Bush Tucka Café‘ that Ms Beemster runs with a keen group of students?
Ms Beemster teaches the students how to use the coffee machine and how to take orders. The students
then very professionally take orders and serve food to all staff. The plan is to include students in the orders
and once the AECG approves our name, there will be a beautiful artwork out the front of the café to show
that it is open. The students are improving their communication and literacy skills and the staff are enjoying
a beautiful menu. Thanks team!
Junior AECG
Did you know that we are in the process of creating a sub- branch of the Junior AECG? Ms Kitson will be
working with a group of students who will be endorsed through the Koorana AECG. These students will
then have the opportunity to make decisions that will have a positive impact on the school. This will be a
very exciting opportunity for our students.
Aboriginal Art Group
Did you know that we have an award winning Aboriginal Art group
which meets every Thursday with Ms Bruckdorfer and Mrs Branni-
gan?
In the last newsletter we reported that the students achieved a
Highly Commended for their Art work in a reconciliation competi-
tion. Well, a similar art work has also taken out first prize in the
Year 7- 12 Indigenous student section at Gosford Gallery. The
school was awarded a $500 prize and certificate for the school. As
soon as the Art work is back at Umina Campus it will be framed
and placed on display. Congratulations to the staff and students
involved in this wonderful achievement!
The Art Trophy awarded to the school
Aboriginal Leadership day
On Wednesday 6th June, Satali Tevi- Fuimaono , Sean Downey and Janelle Rooney attended an Aborigi-
nal Leadership day. The day allowed the students to develop leadership skills and to develop their confi-
dence by exploring and discussing their Aboriginal Heritage.
All students thought the day was very productive and were very excited to know that the day would turn into
a leadership program allowing them to further extend on the valuable lessons they learnt on this day. The
students are learning these skills to instil upon other Aboriginal students at school and assist in the devel-
opment of a Junior AECG. The students made a lot of new friends and they should be commended on the
way they presented themselves and represented their school.
Well done guys!

Year 5 Journalism GATS Day
On Wednesday 6th June, year 5 students in our
Learning Community were invited to participate in
an enrichment day run by the Umina Campus for
students interested in Journalism.
Students worked collaboratively with students from
other Primary Schools and Peer Mentors in a simulated news
room. Responding to scenarios as they came to hand, budding
reporters compiled investigative reports and sports reports
using technology.
Thankfully the weather stayed dry, and so students had an
opportunity to make new friends with Peer Leaders and
children from other Primary Schools at the lunch break
while enjoying a pizza lunch.
Thank you for your enthusiasm Year 5, and thank you to
Mrs Martin and Mrs Kitson for leading this enrichment day.
Peer Leaders Megan, Rebecca, Bronte and Tayla were
very supportive and
ensured all our visit-
ing students were
well taken care of.

Year 5 students from each of our local primary schools
were invited to attend an enrichment day provided by
Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus on
Tuesday 29th May.
A CSI team comprising of primary school
students and Yr9 Peer Mentors spent a
day at the Senior Campus laboratories
investigating four crime scenarios.
Mr Medley, Head Teacher Science
Umina Campus, led the Crime Investiga-
tion Unit. Students honed their problem-
solving skills enjoying hands-on
experiments including chroma-
tography, finger printing analysis, and
‗suspicious liquid‘ testing.
Our Peer Leaders Sarah Lent and
Blayden Butler enthusiastically partici-
pated in the experiments and assisted
Yr5 students to write
their reports.
Excellent Work Year 5! Looking forward to seeing you at the next GATs day!!!

Peter Sutherland Library Many exciting events are occurring all over Australia to celebrate the National Year of Reading. Classes in our Library enjoyed the monthly themes. In February we laughed with the greatest selling series for the year, Tin-Tin and in March we were thinking through puzzles, tall tales and great wonders, while in April our
feelings acknowledged and explored our fighters and supporters of Australia‘s war efforts. In May we have begun to investigate the survivors of recent Tsunamis and the characters who escaped with their lives in The Hunger Games. Our explorations have taken us through Graphic novels, Info books and quizzes, books about the history of World Wars, Vietnam and recent battles. The ANZAC topic began with film clip about the artists‘ view of war, then supplemented with web searches and extended with free choice reading. Official Website go to http://www.love2read.org.au/ Gosford City Library has just introduced e-books to borrow by downloading to their app. From their main page go directly to their download icon or click into E-books Help on the left hand column.

INDIGENOUS TOUCH FOOTBALL GALA DAY – WYONG
The 4th annual
Indigenous Touch
Football Gala Day
was played at
Morrie Breen Oval,
Wyong on Thurs-
day the 31st May
2012. This has
become an annual
event on the school
calendar with this
being the 4th year
the event has run.
Brisbane Water
Secondary College
– Umina Campus had entered a mixed team of players. Upon arrival every student was presented with an
official team shirt. Ours was BRIGHT fluoro yellow. This was a great colour to recognise on the field but
not so good for the muddy conditions the students were to play on all day (they were a lot less yellow by
the end of the day!)
Overall the day was about community, participation and the theme of ―Let‘s Work Together‖.
The teams were organised into 2 pools of 5 with each team playing 4 games with 1 bye. There were 6
players on the field at any one time and 2 of those players had to be female. It must be pointed out here
that most other schools had recruited year 9 – 12 students to make up their teams. While they were much
taller and a little bit faster than BWSC players, our team played exceptionally well and kept up with every
team on the day. While we may not have won many on the day BWSC was never far behind with most
games only 1 – 2 tries the difference.
A couple of key performances must be mentioned. Joel Body and Alexis Nelson-Staunton both scored 3
tries each on the day. Brody Alonti was the most elusive, agile player on the team always making metres
beating many players twice his size! Lastly special thanks to Zac South whose captaincy and expertise on
the field lifted the team to play to the best of their ability.
Overall, every player on the team did a great job representing their school and their indigenous heritage.
Well done to all!
A big thanks to Joe Grauner, Mitchell Markham, Alison and the other parents for transporting us all to and from the venue.
A great day had by all. Well done!

Memorial Garden
Our schools Memorial Garden was repositioned and
replanted last month with the centre piece being a
new headstone and a beautiful pink Frangipani.
Students from the Support Unit worked tirelessly all
day to prepare the soil and plant the plants that Mrs
Honeysett had bought in, especially for the new
Memorial Garden.
The students in our SRC had spoken to Mrs Honysett
several months previously, about the possibility of moving the garden
to a sunny, more accessible spot. They mentioned they would like to
see a frangipani planted in memory of their dear friend, Indah Weath-
erstone, who very sadly had passed away last November from Can-
cer. Frangipanis were Indah‘s favourite flower.
The garden was moved to the end of C Block, close to Indah‘s and Mrs Honeysetts
classroom. The plants are starting to establish themselves now and by next summer
there should be a beautiful show of pinks and purples, from the plants that were
selected.
Hunter Central Coast Regional SRC meeting
Jack Wilson 9.3.1
On the 6th of June, Sarah Lent and I attended the Hunter Central
Coast Regional SRC meeting.
At this meeting we had the chance to bond with other SRC students
from all around the region. We also enjoyed team building activities
and listened to guest speakers including Regional Director Frank
Potter and Noel Grannall.
At this event we nominated to run for State SRC which is a 4 day
conference in July/August. Sarah and I both nominated and gave a
speech. I was lucky to be 1 of only 3 people selected and am now on
the State SRC team.
Thanks to Ms Crump for supervising the bus. All in all it was a fantastic day!
