This year we are excited to share with you our whole school focus on Reading.

To inform this work we are using student data from reading tests students completed earlier in the year. This test is called a Progressive Achievement Test (PAT) and allows us to track reading progress over time. PAT assessments provide valuable insights into student reading abilities, allowing us to tailor instruction to their specific needs. We use PAT data to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement, ensuring that each student receives targeted support to thrive across all areas of their learning.

Please keep an eye out for more information in newsletters, our termly Grade emails and on our social media accounts, as we keep you updated on our work in this space. If you would like to know more about our use of PAT data or our school approach to reading, please contact Assistant Principal, Christie Gumley at christie.gumley@decyp.tas.gov.au

#BrightLivesPositiveFutures #EverySchoolDayMatters

If you need to collect your student during the school day for an appointment or to leave school early, please write a note explaining this, stating the time you wish to collect them, and give it to your student to give to their class teacher who will allow them to leave class and meet you at the front office for signing out.

If you haven't written a note, please call the school before you arrive as this will save you time when you come to collect your student as some classes are held outside, for example, HPE classes may be held on the oval or at the PCYC.

Thank you for your consideration.

Eloise Foo
Treasurer HHS School Association

Dear Parent/Guardians,

I hope you have had some time over the break to spend with your children, but as Steve Miller said, ‘time keeps on tickin’, into the future’. Well, the future is now. The grade 7s certainly have become more confident in the space now that they have been here for 3 months. It has been lovely getting to know all of the students better.

I just wanted to remind you of your child’s homeroom teacher. It is best to communicate with them on any issues to keep them informed. They can then pass any concerns onto myself, the Grade 7 Coordinator. I can then pass this on to the AST (Advanced Skills Teacher) Riley Mislov, or Assistant Principal, Christie Gumley.

The homeroom teachers for your child are:

• Angela Prince and Ben Horne (7 Huon) Email: angela.prince@decyp.tas.gov.au / ben.horne@decyp.tas.gov.au 
• Justine Krueger (7 Styx) Email: justine.krueger@decyp.tas.gov.au 
• Bobby-Jack Butchart (8 Huon) Email: bobby-jack.bowen.but@decyp.tas.gov.au 
• Traci Cooper (8 Styx) Email: traci.cooper@decyp.tas.gov.au 

Also, I wanted to keep you informed about our school’s culture and wellbeing focus this term: school attendance. School staff will be contacting parents where there are 5 or more unexplained absences. Educational research shows that having an attendance rate of less than 90% leads to a disconnect from learning and reduced educational outcomes. The homeroom teaching team are making it a priority this year to follow up on absences.

This term all grade levels will have a session with SASS: Sexual Assault Support Services. Their focus is on supporting and empowering Tasmanian victims and survivors, creating environments where perpetrating assault, abuse and harassment is much more difficult, and advocating for change. Students will learn how to break barriers, amplify voices, and foster resilience. 

On a lighter note, school photos are happening on June 5^th, so we want students looking their best for that. White or blue shirts underneath polo shirts if needed for the cooler weather. I have to say, student uniform is getting better all the time including keeping their hats and puffer jackets off in class. This term we are targeting appropriate pants, making sure students are wearing navy or black pants with no logos.

The information below lets you know what grades 7 and 8 have been doing, along with guiding questions that you could ask your child.

Science:

Grade 7 scientists will be focussing on Chemistry in Term 2.  We will be looking at the Particle Theory to explain the physical properties of substances, and how to separate mixtures.

Questions you can ask about their learning in:

• How do we light a Bunsen burner safely?
• What are the differences between solids, liquids and gases?
• How can we separate the salt from salt water?

Grade 8 scientists will be studying Chemistry in Term 2.  We will be starting off with physical and chemical change before moving on to the symbols and numbers on the periodic table! 

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• What are the main differences between physical and chemical changes?
• How many protons, neutrons and electrons does Oxygen have?

English:

Year 7 Students will be completing a novel study of Roald Dahl’s The Witches. Students will be learning to read and comprehend texts, identify ideas, and create their own text. By the end of the unit students will be able to use graphic organisers to gain meaning from text, and identify and explain the ways characters, settings and events create meaning in text. They will experiment with language features and devices to create their own literary text in response to The Witches.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• What do you think is the underlying meaning of The Witches?
• Who’s your favourite character in The Witches? Why is this?
• Describe what the witches look like in The Witches.

Year 8 Students will be completing a novel study of John Marsden’s Tomorrow When the War Began. Students will be learning to read, view and comprehend text and select language features to create their own text. By the end of the unit, students will be able to use comprehension strategies to understand meaning in text, explain how different texts are structured depending on their purpose and create their own narrative text in response to Tomorrow When the War Began.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• What is the plot of Tomorrow When the War Began?
• How is the text structured to make it more interesting?
• If you were one of the characters in Tomorrow When the War Began, what would you do?

Maths:

Grade 7 mathematicians will be focusing on Measurements in Term 2.  There will be investigations into the area and volume of triangles, parallelograms, rectangles, triangular prisms and circles, before finishing the term off with a closer look at the relationships between corresponding, alternative, and co-interior angles.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• What is the volume of their lunchbox?
• What do ‘corresponding’, ‘alternative’, and ‘co-interior’ angles refer to in maths?

Grade 8 mathematicians will be looking at Measurements in Term 2.  We will be solving problems involving perimeter, area and volume for irregular and composite shapes, including circles. 

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• What are the formulas to measure circumference, perimeter, area and volume?
• What is the area of their bedrooms and other living spaces?

Music:

The grade 7 and 8s are enjoying digital music lessons with ‘Studio One’, learning to add drums, strings and other instruments to produce their own music with the click of a mouse, using samples, sequences and VST Instruments.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• You could ask what instrument and song are you working on this term?
• Tell me about your Studio One recording.

HPE:

Grade 7s have concluded their first high school unit which has focused on Social Health (working as a team). In a new school with several members from other areas, it can be daunting to establish new connections but our Grade 7s have had no issue! Students have engaged in several topics and constructed skills around teamwork, listening and communication. This term students will look at applying these skills in different sporting contexts.

Grade 8s have completed a critical unit for their young minds; ‘Resilience’. Students have learnt what resilience is and why they need it, putting it into practice through various challenges, both physical and mental. To apply resilience in a sporting context, students have learnt to play the game of Lacrosse which is notoriously difficult to learn, meaning they had to stick with it and not give up. It has been good to see students learn these skills in a time where they are needed more than ever. This term will focus on communicating effectively, both in sports, and in life.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• How does learning a new sport like lacrosse, develop resilience and lead to growth?

Design & Technology:

Grade 7 students started the year familiarising themselves with the workspace and the safety requirements of the space. They were asked to design a noughts and crosses game made from timber. These are now taking shape with some unique designs.

Students have also been introduced to the CNC machine and will all make a sticker (usually their name) at some point this term.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• Where did you get your inspiration for your design?
• What tools have you been using for the construction of your project?

Grade 8 students started the term learning how to make housing joints and they are now in the process of making them for the construction of their shelves.

They were asked to design their shelf around where it would go and what they would use it for. Some students have given this very important component of the process considerable thought to produce a well-designed project.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• Why have you designed your project the way you did?
• Why is it important to learn basic construction techniques?

Art:

7 Styx students have created artworks centred around an image of their choice. The main focus was to use the element of line, as well as to explore pattern, shape, and colour. Some completed pieces are going to be displayed in the ArtBox which is located on Main Road, Huonville. 

Students will continue to learn about the Seven Elements of Art, with students focussing on Colour Theory.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• Which colours do I mix to make green?
• Which colours do you think look good side by side and why?

Year 8 Art students have been learning about The Elements and Principles of Design, with the focus being on emphasis and how it is used in art works. They have responded to the work of other artists and have been creating their own work to demonstrate their understanding of Emphasis. 

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• How do you use Elements of Art to create emphasis in Art?
• Why is emphasis in an artwork important?

Digital Technologies

During Term 2, Grade 7 students will continue developing their digital and critical literacy, so they are safer online. They will also begin learning about how computers and digital systems work including binary code, as well as beginning to experience coding. Some students will be using block-based coding while those that are ready will be working on text-based coding using Python. If time allows, students will move on to a 3D printing project, otherwise this will take place in Term 3.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• What 3 strategies can you use to stay safe when on social media sites?
• For later in the term: What is the basis of all computer programs? (zero and one, on and off, yes and no. This is known as binary)

During Term 2, Grade 8 students in STEM and Digital Technologies will be creating skins for use in games, and challenge worlds that will be entered into an international competition. These games will need videos to be created showing game play and be designed to advertise the games to students in schools in Victoria, New South Wales and New Zealand. In the weeks between tournament dates, students will work on STEM projects that relate to their areas of interest.

Questions you can ask about their learning:

• How can you support team members when playing in a stressful tournament?

Dear Parent/Guardians,

We hope you and our fantastic students had a restful and well-deserved holiday break. We thank you for your efforts in supporting and encouraging our students in Term 1. We are excited to see the opportunities and developments that lie ahead, and how students tackle the challenges of their learning this term.

I am communicating to you for three key purposes:

1. As a reminder of who your child’s homeroom teacher is:
   Andrew Koppelman (9 Styx), James Belstead (9 Weld), and Aimee Lui (9 Huon).
   Will Sloss (10 Huon) and Talia Simone (10 Styx).
2. The focus for culture and wellbeing this term will be attendance. School staff will be contacting parents where there are 5 or more unexplained absences. Educational research shows that having an attendance rate of less than 90% leads to a disconnect from learning and reduced educational outcomes. The homeroom teaching team are making it a priority this year to follow up absences.
3. To give you some prompting questions to open up discussions with your child about their learning this term.

On behalf of the Grade 9/10 teaching team, it has been wonderful to see all our students after the much-needed Term 1 break. We are all enjoying establishing relationships and positive connections with each student in preparation for the remainder of the year ahead. In Term 1, we had a strong shift in our uniform expectations. School uniform contributes to a positive learning environment, instils a sense of responsibility, and prepares students for future professional settings where dress codes are common. We thank you for your support and cooperation in this positive change.

The role of the homeroom teacher is to be the primary pastoral care staff member for your child. They can assist with issues that pop up from day to day and have the best knowledge of your child’s learning and wellbeing needs. If you cannot, for whatever reason, contact your child’s homeroom teacher, I am the next best person to contact with your concerns. You can contact me at sophie.rainbird@decyp.tas.gov.au

Engaging parents in their child’s learning is critical for students to develop sound values around the importance of a good education. It is also critical for parents to act as partners with the school in supporting their child in their learning endeavours. Below is a short summary of what learnings are occurring in each subject, with some open-ended questions that might spark some engagement between your child and their learning that is currently linked to their schoolwork. Parents are also encouraged to contact teachers with any questions or concerns around their child’s progress at any stage of the year.

During Term 2, Grade 10 students will delve into the fascinating world of Newton's Laws of Motion and explore how they govern the behaviour of objects in our everyday lives.

Newton's Laws of Motion are fundamental principles in physics that describe how objects move and interact with one another. They provide a framework for understanding the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, which are essential concepts in science and engineering.

Questions you can ask about their learning in Science:

• Can you explain Newton's First Law of Motion in your own words? How does this law relate to everyday situations you encounter?
• How do Newton's Second and Third Laws of Motion help us understand the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration? Can you provide an example of how these laws apply in a real-world scenario?
• What experiments or activities did you participate in to explore Newton's Laws in class? Can you describe one experiment that stood out to you and explain what you learned from it?

Athlete Development:

Students will be continuing working on and undertaking their fitness programs. They will continue to gain the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to enhance their performance, mental toughness, and overall wellbeing. In addition to their regular fitness program, we will be attending the Kingborough Fitness Centre to participate in a spin session. This will help build our knowledge around the different fitness types and how they affect our heart rate.  

Questions you can ask about their learning in Athlete Development:

• What is your SMART goal for this term? How are you going to achieve it?
• What type of fitness training increases your heart rate the most? Why?

• Why is it important to put a lot of time into the design?
• Will you be using the CNC router?

Hospitality

In Hospitality, the grade 10s are finishing off their responsible serving of alcohol on-line course. This increases job opportunities in the valley, as well as increased pay. A 16-year-old can serve alcohol with qualifications under the supervision of adults. Next term students will be working to produce food for freezing for students in need, as well as to support the canteen with additional dishes.  When students are planning dishes, they will develop workflow plans and work out costings. For example, if making a two course meal, students in a team will decide what task and role each will take, along with a timeline. Finding the cost of an individual muffin helps us to learn how to price items.

Questions you can ask about their learning in Hospitality:

Year 11/12 students have been working in their Career and Life Planning (CLP) class to map out their exciting futures after they complete school. Whilst they will spend a lot of time focused on resumes, further study and getting work, CLP students have started by looking at the overall life they want to create for themselves.

• Did you know that People who set goals are 10 times more likely to be successful? (Essential Goal-Setting Statistics 2023)

CLP students looked at a Wheel of Life to identify areas in their life they’d like to improve and then set meaningful goals related to each of the areas identified.

• Did you also know that those who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them?! (Essential Goal-Setting Statistics 2023)

With this knowledge and armed with their life goals, CLP students have written SMART goals and made vision boards to help keep them inspired and focused on the improvements they are making every day.

Because people who set actionable tasks and report progress to their peers achieve goals 40% faster than those with written goals but no action commitments, CLP students are using their weekly lesson to check in on their progress and set new actions for the following week. (Essential Goal-Setting Statistics 2023)

Some of the goals being set are to get the hours completed necessary to get their 'P' Plates. Other students have set goals to save enough money to travel to Thailand and New Zealand in 2025, while another student is focusing on their health and a daily walking habit.

Each student knows that success is different for everyone and that by making these very personal goals they are being responsible for making more fulfilling lives for themselves now and for their future.
