As we approach the end of Term 3 the heat is increasing in more ways than one. With a mammoth amount of activity happening and the Year 12’s on the home straight, I think we are all ready for a well-deserved break.

Course selections for Years 9-12 2022 should now be finalised, if you have not already done so can you please complete this ASAP to avoid disappointment. Also any of our families that have not enrolled their Year 7 children for next year, can you please do this as a matter of urgency. To ensure we have the correct staffing in place ready for the start of the year we really need an accurate picture of our numbers. Also, if students are arriving with a disability diagnosis, the sooner we know, the sooner we can start putting plans in place for their arrival.

The number of events and celebrations this term has been massive; Term 3 is always an eventful time. Early in the term we started with Science week. This saw the addition of lots of science related activities at recess and lunch with prizes being handed out to our winners.

Following this, we held our very first Spelling Bee competition as part of Book Week. There were various activities taking place throughout the week, finishing off with our annual dress up day.

After a re-arrangement due to COVID, we finally managed to open the Belridge Bindi Bindi Garden. An amazing Welcome to Country from Elder Josh McGuire opened proceedings, followed by a smoking ceremony. Full coverage of the event was broadcast on Noongar FM with host Sharon Wood-Kenney. It was such a wonderful afternoon, and showcased the “team” effort from the College. A full list of acknowledgements and photos of the event can be seen in this newsletter.

Belonging and inclusivity is a key aspect of the College. In week 6 we celebrated Wear-it-Purple day. The day strives to foster a supportive and safe environment for our rainbow young people and raise awareness of inclusivity amongst the school community. We also celebrated R U OK day in week 8, fitting in nicely with our current school wide initiative on Kindness.

Following the opening of our Bindi Bindi garden and the start of the nice weather, staff and students really enjoyed the music being played at lunchtime during the event. By popular demand, DJ Steve O'Neil and his DJ club have kindly offered to open up the garden dance floor (old chess board) and play some tunes each Friday lunchtime to welcome in the weekend.

Y7 Cricket camp was a success, with a special visitor from Australian Cricketing star Jhye Richardson. See full report in the Sporting News section.

In week 7 we held our annual Whole School Athletics Carnival. Our new Aboriginal inspired faction flags designed by Helena Mazzurra (Year 12) were on display for the first time. Helena spent a huge amount of time and effort putting these designs together and I have to say they look fantastic. The day started off a little wet and grey, but turned out to be a lovely sunny day in the end. Our Year 12 students did an amazing job with their costumes, we had the Teenage Ninja Turtles, the cast from Scooby Doo, a team of Richie Benauds’ and the Cookie Monster to name but a few. The sporting talent and participation levels just get better each year. A big thank you to all involved, our overall winning house was … Sharks!

We also had the opportunity to celebrate our wonderful EAs with an EA Appreciation Morning Tea. They do such a wonderful job across the school, caring and supporting those who need it most. We are so lucky to have them as part of our team, thank you Ladies!

Save the date - The college is turning 30!
On Friday 5th November the College will be holding its 30th anniversary celebrations. The event has been advertised via Facebook and in the newsletter - register your interest now for this family event and come and join us to celebrate the best of the last three decades!

Also, our annual open Board Meeting will take place on Monday 8th November. We really do want to hear your voice. Your ideas and opinions do matter. Please come and join us and help us plan for the future.

Finally, Year 12 end of year arrangements and graduation invites have now sent. I wish all of our students the very best for their upcoming exams. I know you have all been working really hard in some difficult circumstances – go out and smash them!

P&C Parliament Morning Tea

Caitlin Collins MLA (Member for Hillarys) recently invited local P&C members to a morning tea at Parliament House, and two of our community board members - Michelle Austin and Sonia Moyle - had the pleasure of attending and meeting other local P&C representatives who share the same committment to our community.

Did you know that Caitlin Collins is the 100^th woman to be voted in as a member of parliament? Michelle Austin commented "It made me think of our University founder, Edith Cowan, who was the first women to be voted into the Australian Parliament 100 years ago!  Here is a lovely piece that has been written about this momentous occasion and also a short video that you may like to watch"

Thank you Michelle and Sonia for attending and getting to know other school volunteer representatives. We hope to continue building positive relations with our wider education community.

Immunisations

The final vaccinations for Year 7 students will be held at the College on Monday 20th September. Students will receive their 2nd Gardasil 9 (HPV – Human Papillomavirus) vaccination. No catch-up sessions are scheduled, so students absent on the day will need to be vaccinated by their local practitioner or contact the City of Joondalup Immunisation Clinic on 9400 4938 or 9400 4954.

Year 9 & 10 Electives 2022

All students in Years 8 & 9 should have returned their 2022 elective course selection sheets. Based on student preferences, grids are currently been created that best accommodate these preferences. Students who do not return their preference sheets will be asked to select electives once the grids are finalised. This limits their choices.

School Tours

School tours were conducted recently for potential parents who were unable to attend the tours in May. Parents visited classrooms and observed students engaged in lessons. A further school tour is planned for Tuesday 7th December when we will host the Year 6 students (Year 7 2022) Orientation Day.

Enrolments 2022

Belridge SC is currently accepting Year 7 enrolments for 2022. 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 2022. 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

A quick reminder parents/caregivers 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.

Year 12

It has been another challenging year for all of us. At times COVID has provided extra stress and uncertainty for everyone, but WA has been a lot better off than other states. While the Year 12s are reaching the final few weeks of their high school education, it is an important time for all Year 12 students to make sure they get the best result from their 12 years of schooling. Students undertaking ATAR courses should be busy preparing for both their mock and final WACE exams.

Mock exam timetables were issued to students during Week 8 and personalised WACE examination timetables for both practical and written ATAR examinations are available on the student portal. A reminder that the mock exams will be held on the last day of term for English and Literature, followed by the remainder of exams during the second week of the school holidays. If students miss an exam due to illness, they must have a medical certificate. If no medical certificate is presented, they will be awarded a zero for their exam as per the SCSA policy.

We are aware that some students may have already received early offers into universities based on the Year 11 results. Although these offers may provide a sense of security, completing all ATAR course work and full engagement in examinations is of the utmost importance in order for students to achieve the very best result possible for the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) and Western Australian Statement of Student Achievement (WASSA)

Afterschool ATAR revision classes will continue this week and also during Week 10 Tuesday and Thursday. All students need to make sure they are getting all their assessment tasks in on time. ATAR students need good school marks, as these count for 50% of their final result. Students intending to go onto training, need the best possible grades to be competitive and to ensure they achieve their WACE.

Finally, a few weeks ago all Year 12 ATAR students were given a booklet ‘TISC Guide’. As well as containing important hints and valuable websites, it highlighted the dates for opening and closing of applications for university next year. Students need to pay attention to these dates, as there are expensive fees for late applications.

For students to be mentally and physically ready for the final weeks for schooling, they need to eat healthy, have less electronic distractions, get some outdoor exercise and have a warm, quiet place to study. Of course, there is light at the end of the tunnel and life will return to normal soon.

Year 11

It is important that Year 11 students keep up to date with their work and get all assessments in on time.

As a general rule of thumb, to keep on track to achieve WACE, students need at least 8 C’s by the end of Year 11, or a minimum of 6 C’s if they are on track to complete a Certificate II. Please note, students who are behind in their certificates or late with assessment submissions are required to stay back with me on Wednesdays Period 5 to catch-up. There is a strong relationship between poor results and attendance less than 90%. Therefore I cannot stress enough how important it is for students to attend school regularly.

I wish all parents and students the best of luck.

Kasun Tennakoon
Deputy Principal
Senior School Years 10, 11 and 12

On Wednesday 26th August, Belridge SC welcomed Adam from Armed for Life to speak with students from Years 7-10. Adam shared his personal story about overcoming battles with bullying, mental health and personal struggles throughout his life. He is driven by the goal to help teenagers develop resilience and increase their well being. Students were engaged in different presentations throughout the day:

Year 7: Bullying
Year 8: Managing Emotions
Year 9: Respect
Year 10: Decision Making and Self Esteem

Adam’s stories, knowledge and advice was greatly appreciated by our students who were able to hear the “truth” about some of these topics and reflect on their own personal experiences and actions. 

This semester we are asking our students to consider “kindness” within the school community, which ties in with these presentations. Students will be rewarded for their random acts of kindness towards their peers and other staff.

Home Economics

Ms Hills’ Year 12 Food Science and Technologies class has been studying the functional properties of food.  They investigated, through practical food processing, the functional properties that determine the performance of food, such as caramelisation, crystallisation, emulsification, and relate application to recipes and menu planning. The photos show their outstanding results.

Ms Corless and Ms Cheryls’ Year 7 Home Economics students had a very successful term in the sewing room. They each made a pencil case, learning how to operate the sewing machines, insert zips and applique.

Our Year 8s have also begun their sewing project for Term 3. After making dyes from vegetables, they tyed dyed their fabric and will shortly turn it into pillowcases.

The Year 10 Cultural Foods students took us on culinary journey around the world this week by researching a country and its culture. They then prepared a signature dish and served it food truck style. They were all extremely successful.

Lastly, congratulations to our Year 12 Hospitality students who ALL passed their coffee assessment. Representatives from HDT came to the school and students had to make a number of coffees including lattes, cappuccinos and the classic flat white. Every student is now a qualified barista.

Year 8 AE English

Yesterday, for Book Week, the Year 8 AEP class planned, promoted and hosted a Book Exchange activity at lunch time. The Book Exchange’s purpose was to gather book donations for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. All students and staff were welcome to bring their own books and exchange them with other books, with surplus books being donated. This activity was used to promote literacy and held on the library lawn. The Year 8 English AE students are very happy with how the day turned out.

Belridge Spelling Bee A Buzz!
Lifting Spelling Literacy

The Literacy Team recently conducted the first Belridge Spelling Bee for students in Years 7, 8 and 9. Over 100 students signed up for the competition and after the heats, 32 students competed in the final over two days.  At the end of the first day's competition, 16 competitors remained: 7 Year 7s, 5 Year 8s and 4 Year 9s.

After 10 rounds, Eliana Kendall (Year 9) took out the competition with the winning word, 'infrastructure'. 

The winners and runners-up by year level were:

Congratulations to every student who participated in the event and we encourage all students to continue to have a curiosity about words. Improving spelling literacy lifts reading, writing and ultimately, learning.

So many books, so little time …

Book Week was launched on Friday 20th August, with staff and students dressing as their favourite Literary character! Activities over the course of the week included students having fun posing at the photo booth and having a bookmark created, a book exchange, quizzes, displays and kahoot quiz. Holly and Jess from Dymocks also popped along for a book chat. Thank you to Ms Baker, Mrs Manning and Mrs Taylor, in the library and the amazing team of teachers for a fun week!

Belridge Bindi Bindi Garden

What a fantastic afternoon! We were blessed when the sun came out and our native/bush tucker garden, together with the murals, came to life as we celebrated the official opening of our Bindi Bindi Garden on Friday 20th August. Belridge was privileged to have Elder, Josh Maguire, open our ceremony with a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony, together with Howie Eades (Year 10) followed by a lively and interactive broadcast by Sharon Wood-Kenney from Noongar Radio (100.9fm).  

The garden came about as a result of a HUGE collaboration of staff, students and the community. Thank you to EVERYONE involved and who came along to support this event.  Also a special thanks to Mrs Corless and her team of talented hospitality students who catered and provided excellent service; Zara Patterson, Zjana Herangi, Jovian Hamid, Xavier Cunnane, Aaliyah Blackford, Teringamau Collier, Abbigail Duke, Marina Morcos and Doreen Odidi.

Science Week 
Food - Different by Design

Science Week festivities began on the Monday with the recognition of the importance of pollinating insects for food production. A number of students participated during recess making Bee Hotels with Dr Werner, Mrs Howard, Miss Couche, Mr Njegich and Mr Orr. Native Resin Bees are stingless bees that perform an important part of our native environment. We can support them by providing 3-5 mm holes drilled deep into the wood where they can deposit eggs and cover each in turn, with some resin.

On Tuesday lucky students from Year 7 and 8 classes were invited to a food Science experience where they made honeycomb and sherbet. The activity introduced the effect of natural food acids with bicarbonate of soda. Many students found the event run by Mrs Wintle to be quite tasty!

Some competitions were also run during Science week.  

Fishing for healthy food: gave any student the challenge to quickly grab as many food examples as possible in a minute.  Healthy foods received a positive score while unhealthy foods scored negative. It was pleasing to watch students realising that fresh food and those of a green colour generally were healthier to eat. Students then began to discuss the merits of food prior to their turn in the activity. The top three students were awarded prizes.

Seeds for Food: challenged students to select which of 12 seeds belonged to which food producing plant. While many students volunteered answers, a particularly strong knowledge was demonstrated by Year 9 ESC students. Students who answered all seed challenges correctly had their entries placed in a hat and the first three pulled out of the hat were awarded prizes. 

Sugar in Package: a display revealing a dozen jars of sugar and food packages required students to match the sugar amount with the food package. The top three students were awarded prizes. Award winners were:

Many thanks to Science, Home Economics, Design & Technology and Library staff whom donated their free time to host/organise/supervise all of these events.

Geography Fieldtrip

On the 12th of August, the ATAR and General Geography students undertook fieldwork activities in Perth's Central Business District (CBD) and Inner Mixed Zone (IMZ).

The students departed from Edgewater station at 08:45 and made their way (via train and CAT bus) to Claisebrook Cove. It was here the students observed and recorded the features that makes this area one of the most desirable inner-city locations surrounding Perth but also evidence of East Perth's industrial past, culminating with a field sketch of Optus Stadium from the picturesque Victoria Gardens.

Departing Victoria Gardens (again on CAT bus) the students then headed to the cultural hub of Perth, Northbridge. Students made their way through Yagan Square and then along James, Lake, and Aberdeen Streets, witnessing the sights, smells, and sounds of the diverse food scene, independent retailers, and a thriving arts and entertainment scene.

Students then made their way past Boola Bardip, across Wellington St, through a maze of arcades to end up in the financial core of WA, St Georges Terrace. It was here students observed and recorded various urban processes, as well as appreciating Perth's global position in the resources sector before making their way through London Court and into the Hay St Mall for lunch.

During lunch, which gave students free-range of the malls, they were able to observe and make note of all the factors that make this area the retail centre of Perth, including undertaking some retail therapy of their own. Once lunch concluded, we made our way to the Perth Underground and headed back to the suburbs.

A special thanks to both classes for their exemplary behaviour on the day, and to Mrs Claire Green for her assistance as teacher/tourist!

We are the Champions!

I would just like to recognise the amazing achievement of the Belridge Interschool Volleyball team that competed in the Volleyball WA High School Cup on Friday. The competition was open to all schools across WA, both public and private, and both our teams represented Belridge in an outstanding manner.

Our A Team competed in the A division and went undefeated all day, eventually prevailing in a nail-biting grand final against Trinity College. This is the second competition this team has won this year and amazingly they have not actually lost a game across either tournament.

Our B Team competed in the B division and almost followed the A team by going undefeated across the day, but unfortunately they lost narrowly in the grand final to John XXIII College, finishing runners-up. The B team has also had a phenomenal year only losing one game across two tournaments. Congratulations to the following students on their achievements:

Year 7 Cricket Camp 2021

In week 3, our Year 7 cricket students set off for their annual cricket camp of indoor cricket, competing against schools in Western Australia.  We left early on a Wednesday morning and commenced games straight away at Bouncers Indoor Sports Centre in Joondalup. The competition involved three full days of competition, with finals and playoffs.

For some students, this was their first experience with a different format of cricket, which aimed to improve and enhance their cricket skills.  The first day ended with our two teams winning a couple of games, but improving every time we stepped on the court.  At the end of day one we headed off to our accommodation at Ern Halliday to settle in and get ready for our first team dinner. Little did the students know that we had a very special guest surprise for them to join us for laser tag and then dinner, which had been organised by Mrs Howat. We arrived at Laser Tag and then a few moments later our special guest, and Australian Cricketing star Jhye Richardson, walked in! To say the students were excited was an understatement! Jhye generously gave up his time and had lots of fun with our students, as well as answering many of their questions.

Both Teams had a great time and more importantly improved their cricket skills.  Unfortunately we couldn’t back up last year’s performance and come away with the trophy, but the students never gave up and did their best.

Netball - WA Multicultural Carnival 

On the 27th August, four teams from the Netball Academy participated at the Netball WA Multicultural Carnival. The carnival promotes participation and engages players from a wide variety of ethnicities to foster their netball skills in a fun and encouraging environment. The Multicultural Carnival is a celebration of WA’s cultural diversity and requires five participants with one or more parents born overseas or to identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander on court at all times.

Belridge Blue made up of Year 9, 10 and 11 students and Belridge Yellow consisting of Year 7 and 8 students, were undefeated throughout the day! This resulted in them being awarded champions in their divisions. The carnival coincided with Wear-it-Purple Day which was celebrated back at school. The Netball Academy wore purple ribbons and had their faces painted to show their support and spread awareness of the cause.  All four teams played extremely well and had a great day out.

Athletics Carnival 2021

The 2021 Inter-House Athletics Carnival was held on Friday the 3^rd September. With all the unrest around COVID the carnival was a great day for all students to relax, mingle and participate in a whole school carnival. The signs were there early that is was always going to be an awesome day, when the weather was absolutely beautiful with warm and still conditions.

The carnival ran smoothly and with minimal issues, which is testament to the many, many people who helped in the weeks leading up to the carnival organisation. Thank you to all people who were involved in any way, shape or form, in the organisation and running of the Athletics Carnival.

The students conducted themselves amazingly, and it was a great experience to witness so many keen and enthusiastic competitors trying their best and having fun. The participation numbers escalated this year with students getting involved in all events. The participation was so great that presentations needed to be completed the following Monday.

Well done to the medal recipients for all year groups.

Congratulations to Sharks, who were the winning house on the day with a total of 4551 points.  Runners up on 3553 points were Marlins and Manta Rays not to be forgotten in 3^rd finishing on 3001 points.

This year the Belridge Bolt winners, the fastest 100m runners across all ages for boys and girls, were:

Both races were close and exciting to watch. Congratulations to the winners and all who made the final.

Thank you to all staff and students who made the day memorable for all. THE INTERSCHOOL ATHLETICS TEAM will be picked ready to represent Belridge SC at the Interschool Carnival to be held on Monday 28th October.

New Design Faction Flags Unveiled

Congratulations to Helena Mazzurra (Year 12) on her designs for the new faction flags being selected.  The faction flags were on display for the first time at the Athletics Carnival and looked fantastic.  Helena has spent a huge amount of time and effort in creating these designs.  Well done!

SSWA Lower School Basketball Carnival 2021

Mater Dei 15 - BSC 36
The first game of the day saw Lincoln Fieldhouse and Riley Sullivan dominate. The team got great bench contributions from Maan Dut and Patrick Oulton who nailed a 3 on the half time buzzer.  The team rotated its players in the second half as it came away with an easy win.

St Stephens 4 - BSC 44

Second game of the day was a similar story to the first. Exceptional  guard play from Camden Lambino and Tai Italiano set the tone defensively and sparked the Lions transition offence. Jett Reiss and Cooper Thompson benefiting on the break. Beau with some nifty passes to create for his team mates.

Another game that saw contributions from all as the bench got some well deserved minutes.

Woodvale 24 - BSC 16

The third game of the day was always going to be a challenge. Our first 4 minutes was not our best as Woodvale's press was a bit too organised for us to break and upset our free flowing transition.  In the second half, Beau Sharpe again dazzled with some great passing and Will Parker and Lukas Smith provided a great impact off the bench with a greater presence on the boards and some great rim running. In the end, the early set back was to much to overcome, and the team suffered its first loss of the day.

Kinross 21 - BSC 19

A 5-point half time deficit was overcome in the first few minutes with some great attacking drives from Riley Sullivan and Lincoln Fieldhouse.  Riley showed some great leadership as he inspired the team to come out in the second half with more urgency.  Bryan McLean showed his skills at both ends sparking a 3-point lead. A Kinross banked 3-pointer under huge defensive pressure was the difference in this one. Patrick Sullivan had the chance to tie but his 3-pointer did everything but go in.

3-4 Playoffs

Alkimos Baptist 11 - BSC 23

A brilliant team effort to finish the day with a win. Contributions all round as the boys secured a 5th place finish in our league.  Big thanks to Patrick Bowyer as the team referee who did a great job.

Well done to all the boys. Their commitment to the early morning practice sessions clearly showed, and they displayed great team work, camaraderie and represented to College values to the highest level.

Year 11 and 12 students use up to 95% recycled timber for all their projects. We collect it from roadside pickups, parents donations etc. 

In preparation for 2022 we are looking for donations and can never have enough with supplies dwindling every year.  If anybody is pulling down a pergola or knows someone who is, and are willing to donate the timber, please get in touch.  I can pick it up if close by, but am unable to pull the pergola down for you. Timber floor boards are also a very good source.

If you are unsure if the wood you have is suitable for donation, please send a photo to the school via belridge.sc@education.wa.edu.au and I will contact you to confirm. 

Thank you in anticipation of your support and spreading the word!
