YEAR 9 STUDENTS WIN DEBATE AGAINST WARRAGUL LODGE

On Tuesday October 29 a group of Year 9 students came out winners in a formal debate against members of the Warragul Lodge, on the topic 'Charity should begin at home'. Taking the negative side on this issue, the Warragul Regional College team was made up by Sophie Smith (rst speaker), Jasmine Mead (second speaker) and Mathilda Clark (third speaker). All three girls come from the 9.3 Home Group within the schools ACE Program, as does Olivia Schwartz, who gave support to the speakers from WRC, helping them to develop arguments beforehand, and then again on the night by displaying visual aids relevant to our teams viewpoint.

A Proud History, a Bright Future

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
Year 12 Exams Year 12 Exams began today with the English exam. Feedback from both students and Mr Miller was that the paper could not have been better and was very similar to our practice exams. It is great to hear students getting off to such a condent start in their rst exam. I know all members of the school community will join with me in wishing our Year 12s all the best with their remaining exams. WRC vs Mason's Debate The hard fought WRC vs Masonic Lodge debate ran for the second year on Tuesday night and for the second year WRC Year 9 students came out on top. I would like to sincerely thank the members of the Lodge for their warm hospitality and wonderful supper. I would also like to acknowledge the work of Rod Williams as coach, Kay Frost as organiser and Jai Law as adjudicator. A big thankyou also to Bill Dye and Ross Dawson who have been key players in forging a strong relationship in a range of areas between the college and the Masonic Lodge. Student Leaders Congratulations to our newly elected student leaders: Evie Clough-Good, Zac Murfet, Amie Wadsworth and Nathan Macfarlane. All students who nominated for student leadership had to undergo a rigorous screening process as well as presenting their platform in front of the whole student body. We are proud of the efforts of all candidates and wish Nathan, Amie, Evie and Zac all the best as they represent the student body for the remainder of 2013 and 2014. Cup Eve Arrangements In last Worth Reading I reminded parents about the usual Cup Eve Monday arrangements at the college. A letter was mailed to all parents earlier this week giving details of these arrangements. If you have any questions about the alternative program for Monday 4th November please ring the school. Extracurricular Activities This week has been a busy one for Year 9 with a range of extracurricular activities undertaken in lieu of a camp. Students have been involved in a health expo, beach activities, the zoo, laser tag and more. Thank you to Sam Richards, Kim Weller and the rest of the Year 9 team for your great organisation and commitment to running these activities. For Year 8 there is Camp at Wilsons Prom on the horizon, as well as their own Health Expo day, while at Year 10 planning is well underway for the formal and of course at Year 12 the Valedictory Dinner will cap off their exam period. As you can see it remains a very busy time at the college and I would like to acknowledge the hard work of all of the staff and students who go above and beyond to put on these events for our students.

The Importance of Reading
Ive said it before, and Ill say it again: reading is of paramount importance! General tips to encourage reading: Reading together at home can be a fun experience. Who doesnt love to be read too? Get your older child to read to their siblings, and/or listen to their siblings read. Find out what your son/daughter likes to read, or nd material which suits their interests. There is nothing wrong with non-ction material. All reading is good reading. Ask our fantastic school librarians or English teachers. Most of us read way to much teenage ction! Chances are we can point you in the direction of something youll enjoy. Audio books can tempt reluctant readers into picking up a book of their own. Audio copies of books can be purchased online from most reputable booksellers. A simple Google search will lead you in the right direction. Many parents also read their son/daughters school novels. This is helpful in giving you something to talk about when youre in a car with a teenager!

Homework
Middle school students should all be doing approximately two three hours of homework a week. Students should be recording their homework each day. Parents can also access valuable information via the Compass system. Most teachers record overdue work on a students chronicle. Simply by logging in parents can access this information from home. Another way to monitor their progress is by looking at the work they have completed in their exercise books, or folders, or on their laptop. Most parents are familiar with the progress reports. Progress reports measure work habits and learning behaviours, but do not necessarily reect academic ability. Homework is also measured. Parents receive progress reports every ve weeks. If your student is not submitting their homework, in almost all instances their GPA (Grade Point Average) will be affected.

Year 9 students win debate against warragul lodge continued from front page
Warragul Lodge was ably represented by Mr Bill Dye (rst speaker), Mr Don Pruser as second speaker, and Mr Ross Dawson as third speaker. Mr Graham Dorling also did a great job as chairperson. As an independent community representative, the head adjudicator was Mr Terry Synan, backed up by Mr Warren Dorling from the Lodge, as well as Mr Jai Law, who acted on behalf of the school. Mr Nick Solohub lled the role of timekeeper. The team from Warragul Lodge benetted from doing extensive research into charitable groups, focusing especially on famous organisations like the Lodge itself that began by helping people in need close to home, before branching out to provide welfare further aeld. Sophie Smith set a reective tone from the start by explaining how her own sense of home had been expanded through spending Term 3 with the Gnurad leadership group near Warrnambool. All three of our team-members spoke with passion about the need for us to be less selsh and wasteful in everyday life, giving to those in need, beyond our own family home; beyond our own immediate community; beyond Australia itself. Instead of being self-indulgent and excessive, spending surplus cash on luxuries, the WRC team urged listeners to give generously to disadvantaged people in Third World countries. It proved to be a powerful conclusion when our nal speaker Mathilda Clark reminded the audience of this thought-provoking statement from the great Indian leader Mahatma Ghandi, which had already been quoted by her team-mate Jasmine Mead: Live simply so that others might simply live. The adjudicators ruled unanimously that the sincerity and idealism shown by the student team was more persuasive, despite the quality of research undertaken by the team from Warragul Lodge. Apart from Mr Law, other teachers present were the college principal, Mr Rob Juratowitch, Mrs Kay Frost (Years 7-9 Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Leader) and Mr Rod Williams (9.3 English-Humanities teacher and debating team coach). Later, Mr Juratowitch afrmed how grateful the school is to the Warragul Lodge for making a strong community connection with our school, giving younger and older people alike the opportunity to hear each others viewpoints. While very proud of each student involved, our college principal later observed that he felt Jasmine Mead was especially impressive, making her the strongest speaker out of all six from either team, in his opinion a view conrmed by the adjudicators.

Family members for all four student participants attended in support, along with other members of Warragul Lodge. Everyone present was grateful for the delicious supper provided afterwards by Mrs Mavis Dye. Warragul Regional College wishes to thank everyone associated with the Warragul Lodge, but especially Mr Bill Dye, who has played a leading hand in organising these debates across the last two years. The school looks forward to this tradition continuing!

agriculture - cows create careers

Monday 14th October saw the current Yr 9 Agriculture class attend the Presentation & Awards event to conclude their participation in the Cows Create Careers program. This was held at the Downtowner in Warragul with the room lled with students from around the Region. The CCC organisers always put on a fun-lled morning of activities. Teachers dont miss out on the fun having the pleasure to stand in front of the appreciative audience, with their own students choosing the 'buzzer' sound their teacher will make! There were some interesting interpretations of roosters, elephants, lions, dogs and even cows! Our top team, those from 'M.I.L.K' (sounds sinister, no?) came quite close in points to the overall winning teambut its not all about winning The Cows Creates Careers program introduces students to the Dairy Industry through hands on learning by caring for two beautiful calves for three weeks at the school. Thunder and Freckles were only about two-weeks old when they came into our care and were much loved during their time at WRC. In teams, students complete a range of projects to be eligible for the potential prize of $250 for the winning team in our Region. These include the possibility of making a Moo-tube movie or a S-Cow-lpture to illustrate their chosen area of the dairy industry. We are very grateful to all the sponsors and especially to Karen and Warwick Baum, Pembroke Farms, Trafalgar for entrusting us with the care of their two little heifers.

a note of thanks...
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a story about a person, a need, a group of people who support that person, and another person who for no other reason but by association of friendship wanted to ll that need. Firstly though, let me tell you how this story started. I have been working as the chaplain here at Warragul Regional College since last term and in that time I have been working on building relationships and making the rooms where I meet with students, parents or staff more aesthetically pleasing and inviting. I have resourced a lounge, some artwork and some games and generally made it feel homely. I was also on the hunt for a pot plant for one of the rooms. I had a conversation with Chris Hannah from the Chaplaincy Committee and she said she had a friend who might be able to help. I received an email from Nerida Hills who has a business that beauties work places with plants. Nerida came to the school in her van lled with a selection of wonderful plants for me to choose from as a donation to the Chaplaincy program. Nerida gave not one but two very beautiful palms and taught me how to look after them. Can I just say that in the course of our lives we meet many different types of people, some of who go out of their way to add value and bring joy into the lives of others. On this day when I met Nerida, I met one such lady. So thank you Nerida for making my workplace a nicer place to be and may your business be blessed abundantly for your generosity. 'Nerida's Interior Plantscaping' is located in Buln Buln, and she is more than happy to come and discuss any needs you may have about beautifying your workplace with plants, and you don't even have to look after them as she will. Blessings
