After a very unconventional Semester 1, it is great to see the school return to its normal dynamic state. Term 3 has started with a hive of activity with staff and students engaging in a number of extra-curricular activities and events.

Our Academic testing process for our new Academic Enrichment Programs (AEP) in STEM and Humanities took place at the start of term. A very nervous year 6 group started the day, but a very excited year 6 group left at the end of the session. Parents will be notified of placement into the program very soon, however, we look forward to welcoming them all into the Belridge family next year.

Subject selection processes have started across the school, commencing with our Year 10 parent information evening. Such an informative night with a great turn out from our parents. As I said on the night, students have a much greater chance of success when parents and teachers work together to support our young people on their learning journey. With a wealth of courses and pathways on offer at Belridge, we certainly have something for everyone.

Although the National NAIDOC week celebrations have officially been moved to November, the college continued with its original plan to hold our NAIDOC celebrations this term. With two celebratory assemblies one for our Middle School and one for our Senior School, a free lunchtime BBQ for students cooked by our staff and a face painting station, it was a really lovely day.  It was also great to see so many students recognised for their behaviour and achievements in Semester 1, particularly Year 8 and 9.  Well done!

In the sporting domain we have had the Year 7-12 Netball Academy Fast5, the Cricket Program trials and the opening of the new Fitness Centre. The opening of the Fitness Centre has been a massive hit with the students, with sessions booked out every morning before and after school. Thank you to all of the PE staff for giving up their time in supporting the health of our students.

Our Annual Open Board Meeting was held at the start of week 3. On what was a very wet and cold night it was great to see such a good turnout. Our open board meeting provides an excellent opportunity to network with our partner primaries and members of the community. A big thank you to the staff and students that attended, in particular our student leader representatives and our hospitality students for their catering and service. As a Principal, it was such a proud moment to be a part of such an amazing showcase of what Belridge has to offer. It was clear for all attendees to see that we go above and beyond for our kids to ensure they achieve the future they deserve.

On the 7^th August, after much doubt and worry, our Year 12’s finally got to attend their school ball. What a fabulous occasion! They all looked so grown up and elegant. Their attitude and behaviour on the night was a credit to the school and a privilege to be a part of. Big thanks to Mr Jarvis-Spinks and the team for organising such an amazing night. A full report will be published in September's newsletter. 

Later this term we also have a number of Year 10 students participating in the Try-a-Trade Program. This is a 3-day program offering insight into the construction industry and gives participants the opportunity to try their hand in carpentry and bricklaying. Plans are also in motion for our Year 12 Graduation Evening, details will be emailed to parents every soon.

There are also lots of whole school activities and events on the horizon this term. We have Book Week, Athletics Carnival, Science Week, Wear-It-Purple Day, Numeracy Week and R U OK day to name a few.

Really looking forward to a fun packed, exciting term at Belridge SC. Thank you for your continued support.

Whole School Assemblies: Semester 2

Last week the Semester 2 whole school assemblies were held to recognise first semester student achievement.  Academic, sporting and extra-curricular activities were highlighted. It was fantastic to witness such a large number of students receive awards. I always enjoy celebrations like this that highlight the tremendous work our students do in all aspects of their schooling and the results they produce.

Parent School Tours

It was great to see many prospective parents take the opportunity to view the school in full operation. These tours were conducted over 4 mornings to accommodate a large uptake of expressions of interest.  Many thanks to Mr Notarpietro who assisted with the tours. The tours replaced the annual open day, which is normally held in May, but had to be cancelled due to the disruptions caused by COVID. Unfortunately, we are unable to re-schedule the Year 5/6 Taster courses this year, but these will be offered again in 2021.  Any prospective parents interested in booking a tour can register their details here. 

Enrolments 2021

Belridge SC is currently accepting Year 7 enrolments for 2021. Enrolment packages have now been distributed all to our partner primary schools. Enrolment packages are also available from reception. We require enrolment applications returned as soon as possible to allow sufficient planning time for 2021. Returned enrolment applications should also contain all necessary documentation. This includes a copy of the full birth certificate, two proofs of address (current rates notice or current lease agreement and a utilities bill or drivers licence), immunisation records and any applicable Family Court Orders. Should you have any concerns on the enrolment process please contact reception.

School sickness procedures

I reminded parents/caregivers in the previous newsletter of the school protocols should a child fall ill during the day. During the class time, the class teacher will make an assessment and send the child to the nurse or Student Services. If the child feels ill during a break time they are to make their own way to the nurse or Student Services. The school will then contact the parent/caregiver if required. Students are not to contact their parents/caregivers directly to be picked up because they are not feeling well.

AN IMPORTANT TIME FOR ALL STUDENTS

Year 12 Students

Year 12 students should be striving for the best results possible, in order to be competitive for university or training entry. It is important that, after nearly 12 years of schooling, students strive to do their best when the end goal is in sight. All students, but especially those that have to sit exams, should have a study plan and use the ‘Smart Study’ tips given to them by their teachers. The ATAR students need to take into account the WACE exam scheduling when planning their study. A study plan emplate is available to download on teh ATAR Class Connect page. 

Free Year 12 ATAR Revision Course

Year 12 ATAR students have been provided with information on free study sessions being provided by ECU in the first week of the next school holidays. At the end of each four hour session they are given a free set of comprehensive revision notes. This would be great prepareparation for their exams. Students need to sign up on-line. 

Studiosity Study Assistance

Students should be making full use of the Studiosity Tutor website, which is free to use. 

University Applications

Students applying for university entry must enter their preference online by 30 September or a late fee of $170 applies.

Year 11 Students

Year 11 students should now be aware of what is required to succeed in Senior School. The key element is regular attendance. Any student who attends less than 90% of the time is at serious risk of falling behind in their studies. Also, any Year 11 student that falls behind in their assessment work is required to remain at school each Wednesday during period 5 to complete their work. Students should not make other arrangements, such as part-time work for this period. If we require students for meetings or to complete work as above, they are expected to be available and free to stay.

ALL SENIOR STUDENTS

School Planners

All students should be using their planners to record their homework and plan to complete all assessment items. Often teachers write key messages for parents in the planners, so it would be appreciated if parents could check these planners as often as possible.

Timetabling for 2021

It is the time of the year when class lists for 2021 are being created and checked. All students should be striving to do their best and demonstrate to their teachers their true potential. Also, Year 9 students need to return their selection forms for 2021 options by Wednesday 9 August. This is vital if students are to get their desired options. 
 

Year 10, 11 and 12 Students

The second round of the OLNA (Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment) commences on Monday 31 August. It is important that students attend for their tests and do their best - the tests are important for students to progress through Years 11 and 12.  OLNA must be achieved to get a WACE.
 

Road Safety

It is a timely reminder to all to be careful on the roads. It is highly recommended that students cross Ocean Reef Road with the assistance of the crossing attendants. The speed limit on this road is 70kmh, and heading west past the school there is a blind corner. Also, students riding bikes should be wearing helmets and need to look both ways when exiting the shopping centre car parks. We ask all parents to take great care when driving near the school during starting and closing times and when picking up and dropping off students.
 
Here’s wishing all students a safe and successful Terms 3 and 4.

NETTS (National Energy Technician Training Scheme)

NETTS is a collaborative apprenticeship program between major oil & gas companies (such as Shell, Santos, INPEX and Woodside), and is run by Programmed. The 4 year apprenticeship offers a fantastic and unique pathway into the Oil & Gas Industry into either Process Operator, Mechanical Fitter or Instrumentation Electrician roles (dependent on the individual company requirements for that year). The first 18 months of the apprenticeship is spent at the ACEPT TAFE Campus in Munster, whilst years 3 and 4 are spent on a swing roster to an on or offshore oil & gas facility. Programmed Training Coordinators work closely with the Apprentices, TAFE and the Host Companies and external organisations to provide full support and guidance throughout the apprenticeship.

In January of this year 20 new apprentices commenced in the program, chosen from over 1500 applicants. Programmed are currently recruiting for the 2021 intake, and interested students are encouraged to seek further information and submit applications at programmed.com.au/nettswa

OLNA (Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment)

The OLNA is designed to enable students to successfully meet the WACE requirement of demonstrating the minimum standards of literacy and numeracy.

As NAPLAN Online, which usually provides the opportunity for Year 9 students to pre-qualify for OLNA by achieving Bands 8 or higher, was cancelled due to COVID19, the WA Schools Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) has decided to allow all Year 9 students to sit OLNA in lieu of NAPLAN. Our Year 9 students have been given timetables, and will be sitting OLNA assessments with their English and Mathematics classes, commencing on Monday 10 August.

Round 2 OLNA for students in Years 10, 11 and 12, who are yet to achieve Category 3, will be required to sit the relevant assessments commencing on Monday 31 August. A reminder that Year 11 and 12 students needing to sit OLNA should be attending the library on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30-2:15pm to work on Skill Builders.  All students involved will receive personalised timetables, and will benefit from revisiting literacy and numeracy skill builders on the college’s OLNA Connect Class and by making use of the free subscription to the olna.com.au website.

Fitness Centre now open!

Term 2 saw the opening of Belridge Secondary College’s first fitness gym. The Phys Ed team have been running morning and afternoon sessions for students for the last 6 weeks.  Interest was high coming out of lockdown, with eager students ready to get their fitness back up with most classes at capacity. Teachers are following all social distancing rules and COVID-19 hygiene to ensure classes run smoothly.

Monday and Friday Mornings are run by Mr Bennett and are a Circuit with weights for general fitness for boys and girls:

Mr Timu’s Mondays afternoon class has the boys working up a sweat with some high intensity moves including boxing. The boys are not only improving their boxing techniques and fitness every week but releasing some stress along the way:

Miss Markovic’s girls only HITT class Tuesday afternoons looks at toning and shredding. They follow a high intensity plan which includes toning the body (more specifically abs and glutes) and then punishing the girls with a sweaty shredder. The girls always leave the class with jelly legs and sore abs but full of smiles:

Mrs Collins strength and toning class on Thursday mornings uses weights to build muscle all over the body.  The girls have set goals and have full body workouts tailored to them by Mrs Collins:

Mr Ogilvie’s  Wednesday morning class is tailored to students’ own needs following some goal setting. The students first set goals then spend each session working off their individual plans made by Mr Ogilvie.

Mr Ettridge’s Thursday afternoon class sees the students incorporate fitness using the full court. The students have pushed themselves hard to improve their fitness and skills while having fun in running, core strength and shooting drills.

With most sporting activities back up and running some classes have dropped in numbers. If you are interested in joining a class, please see go to the Phys Ed office for a permission slip.

Netball House Cup Carnival

On Friday 26 June the Belridge Netball Academy held their inaugural Fast 5 House Cup. This event involved all Netball Academy students playing in teams within their houses of Marlins, Sharks and Manta Rays. Each team contained students across all year groups. Our Year 11 and 12 students took on numerous leadership roles within their teams over the day, not only playing but also umpiring, managing and coaching their teams. All students were also provided with the opportunity to practice their scoring skills. Students throughout the day battled it out on court to earn as many points as possible for their house. At the end of the day it was the Manta Rays who were victorious and won the inaugural Fast 5 House Cup Shield. The sportsmanship shown by all students throughout the day was fantastic.

At the conclusion of the event, we also presented a medallion to the Most Valuable Player (MVP) from each house. The scorers of each game voted on who they believed displayed not only excellent skills on court, but also demonstrated great sportsmanship on and off the court within their team. Our MVP awards were as followed:

Marlins
Sophie Williams

Sharks
Arwen Deans

Manta Rays

2020 Year 7 Indoor Cricket Camp

Last week, as part of the Specialist Cricket Program, our Year 7 cricket students packed up the bus and headed off for their first cricket camp. Students stayed at Ern Halliday Camp site and made their way each day to Bouncer Indoor Sports Centre where they competed in indoor cricket against Butler College, John Forrest and Kent Street high schools.

Belridge entered 3 teams for the tournament (named after the Big Bash teams) which were Belridge Heat, Belridge Scorchers and Belridge Thunder.

Every team played twice, which resulted in 16 games in total before the finals. Our first day was a successful one, with teams winning most of our games and holding three of the top four ladder positions out of the 9 teams. The Thunders were undefeated day one and that night were very confident about their chances of winning the trophy. That night we settled in at camp before heading out to Sizzler for dinner.

The second day was a good one for the Belridge Scorchers team who were the first to defeat the Thunder.  At the end of the day the Scorchers held first spot with the Thunder a close second. The Belridge Heat team had a mixed day and were mid-table by the end, but some inspirational coaching by Mr Spinks would change their fortunes on the last day. That night, we went out for dinner at Whitfords and finished off spending time in Iplay where the competitiveness of the students continued!

The final day was exciting with the Heat coming back strong and the finals being determined by only a few points. For the trophy, the Scorchers team ended up in a final against Kent St and the Thunder and Heat would play off for third spot. The Heat vs Thunder game was a close one and was won by the Thunder with a few balls to spare.

As for the big game the Scorchers bated first and never looked back.  Belridge students had control of the game from start to finish and in the end had proven over the course of the three days that they were the best of the best by coming out victorious!

It was a great camp enjoyed by students, teachers and parents and we had an amazing experience that students will not forget in a hurry.

Is there a First Aider in the room?

On Wednesday 24 June, all Sport and Recreational students participated in First Aid. The students from the netball and cricket academy, Outdoor Education and Cert II Sport and Recreation classes were assessed on a number of components. The students had to identify situations/scenarios and follow the action plan of DRSABCD. The students were also assessed on a number of slings, bandages, CPR and Pressure Immobilisation Techniques (PIT).

The first aid session was brilliantly run by our first aid trained staff; Scott Ogilvie, Brent Jarvis- Spinks and Janneke Markovic. First aid is a requirement for the student’s course in order to achieve their certificate.

Computer Science Students Lending a Helping Hand

The Year 11 Computer science class had an opportunity recently to demonstrate their practical skills. When new computers arrived ready to be installed in their classroom, the students worked under the direction of Mr O’Neil and Mr Robartson to get the job done. Unplugging old computers, unpacking the new ones and installing the new machines was done in record time with their help.

Edith Cowan University Holiday Workshops

Edith Cowan University frequently offer courses for students during school holidays and some of our senior students recently attended a workshop on Cyber Security. Students from our Year 11 Computer Science class and our Year 10 Advanced Computing class spent the day learning to use Linux, gaining a deeper understanding of how the web works and discovering common security issues in our modern connected world.

ECU leads the nation in cyber security courses and we are fortunate that they have such a close partnership with Belridge Secondary College.

Year 7 Mathematics

In Term 2, our 7.7 Maths class made a fraction wall to help learn, compare and identify fractions. The fraction walls are a great way to visually represent fractions and help students to understand the basics. We also enjoyed numerous card games to help practice our mental maths skills. We have begun Term 3 with an exploration of number patterns, working with matchsticks to create shapes and trying to work out rules that produce the patterns.

Science Learning Area

Living in Western Australia we are blessed with a rich variety of marine ecosystems and wildlife. Semester 2 has seen our Year 11 Integrated Science students shifting their studies from Forensics to the interesting and diverse topic of Marine Science.

During week one, our Integrated Science students took part in an excursion to the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and AQWA at Hillary’s Boat Harbour.

The students took part in a range of interactive activities aimed at highlighting the need for sustainable practices in recreational and commercial fishing. Following this, the students carried out their own dissection of a locally caught fish. Students gained a greater understanding of the research carried out by DOPRID and the processes marine biologists use to identify the gender, age, spawning patterns and general health of fish. The fish dissection left the students with a healthy appetite and we all headed over to Hillary’s for lunch.

Following lunch, the students had the opportunity to get up close and personal with Western Australia’s interesting and unique aquatic animals at AQWA. Coming face to face with a variety of aquatic life, the deadly and dangerous as well as the weird and fascinating was an eye opening, informative and entertaining way to finish off the day’s excursion. It was an enjoyable and educational for all.

Write a Book in a Day 2020

On Friday 24 July, two groups of our students took part in the Kids' Cancer Project's Write-a-book-in-a-day challenge. They spent twelve hours in the library writing and illustrating children's books which will be distributed to children's cancer wards around Australia.

As part of the challenge, the groups are given a set of parameters which they adhere to in the process of writing their books. Each group has different parameters, but all must contain the same five words exactly as they are given them.

This year the words were: Whistle, Light, Gold, Hungry and Bubbly. The parameters for each group are as follows:

Year 11 Fab 5 - "The Artists’ Escape"

Primary Character 1 – Music Composer
Primary Character 2 - Sculptor
Non-Human Character - Robot
Setting - Mine
Issue - Cyclone

Year 12 - "If there’s a whale there’s a way"

Primary Character 1 – Charity Worker
Primary Character 2 - Mathematician
Non-Human Character - Whale
Setting - Cave
Issue – No mobile phone connection

In addition to this, all stories must have elements which identify them as Australian. I'm thrilled to say that both groups produced some fantastic stories with great writing and well thought out plots. They worked fantastically as teams and all seemed to enjoy the experience, despite the very long day.

As part of this, the teams work to raise funds – these funds allow the students to enter their books into a competition against other schools, but more importantly, every cent raised goes directly towards supporting research towards a cure for cancer and the families of children with cancer. We cannot be more thankful to all sponsors we’ve had this year, in particular our major sponsors ($50 and over): Mi-Lin Finnie, Shannon Leahy, Par Excellence (Leith Finnie), Kerry Clarke and Reliable Fire Services. Thank you as well to everyone else who made a donation towards this amazing cause – every little bit makes a world of difference.

The experience this year was fantastic for all involved, and we look forward to updating everyone with positive news once the competition side of things is finalised later in the year!

The Arts 

Year 8 Media Art students have recently been creating and filming stop motion films.  Liam O'Hara and Ryan Brewer based their film on the influence of Wallace and Gromit movies.  Students created their characters out of plastercine, created their story through a storyboard and filmed using a diarama.  Once filmed, Liam and Ryan edited their film on iMac using iMovie and garage band for sound effects.  We cannot wait to watch the finished article!

During Term 2, Year 10 Vocational Food students have been learning about the art of cake decorating. They have been experimenting with different methods and decorating techniques such as; fondant modelling, icing and piping with buttercream, cream-cheese icing, and ganache drip cakes. Year 10’s worked diligently over three lessons to bring their designs to life, as seen below. Home Economics teachers Micael Corless and Madelaine Jones, are extremely proud of their student’s hard work.

NAIDOC Week 2020

Did you know that 'DANDJOO' means 'TOGETHER' in Noongar?

Wednesday the 5th of August saw the Belridge staff and students come together to celebrate NAIDOC Week. Our theme for 2020 was 'Always was, Always will be'. Activities included our whole school assembly, face painting, a form quiz and the highlight of the day ... a BBQ consisting of a choice of emu, crocodile or beef sausages!

Belridge students, TJ Rundle (Year 11), Reese Semler (Year 10) and Myllie Semler (Year 9) were recognised at the assembly for their selection in the Follow the Dream program, which provides after-school tuition and individual mentoring support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The program encourages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander secondary school students who participate in the program to complete Year 12, enter tertiary studies or undertake other post-school training or employment. We wish TJ, Reese and Myllie all the best in reaching their future goals.

Thank you to our ATSI Lead Team and staff for organising a meaningful day to celebrate and recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.

Lego donations - can you help?

We are looking for donations of unwanted Lego. Students can drop off their unwanted Lego to the ladies in Student Services before/after school or during break times. Thank you!

Belridge Secondary College and Belridge Education Support Centre, staff and students bid a fond farewell to Mrs Jenifer Dwyer who retired recently after 42 years in teaching.

Mrs Dwyer joined Belridge in the early years of the high school and was instrumental in establishing the Home Economics Department.

She was highly respected for her gourmet cooking, excellent sewing and dedication to her students’ learning. With a strong focus on positive relationships both within her class and around the Belridge school community, her knowledge and expertise will be greatly missed.

On behalf of all at Belridge, the Home Economics Department and college wish Jenny the very best in her retirement.

Recycled Timber Wood Projects

Year 11 and 12 students are in the process of completing their Semester 1 wood general project. They completed a jewellery box project using all recycled timber (see examples). The box was made using the GIFKIN DOVETAIL JIG with either hinged or lift off lids. The boxes were made to a very high standard and the students were very proud of their finished product.
