Secondary School Parent Teacher Interviews Secondary Parent Teacher Interviews are on Thursday 17 th September in the last week of this term. School concludes at 1pm on this day for secondary school students only; the interviews begin at 2pm and finish at 7pm. Forms have been distributed to students to pass onto parents about this very important evening. In order for students to achieve their potential it requires a team approach and effective communication between the students, parents and teachers. Parent-Teacher Interviews can greatly assist with this process! If you are unable to attend the Parent-Teacher interviews then please inform the office so that all relevant teachers are informed and aware of this. If necessary they can get in contact with parents or possibly reschedule another
appointment to discuss any important areas or concerns. Secondary students will need to organise times to meet with their teachers on behalf of their parents. 2016 Secondary School Scholarship Applications 2016 Secondary School Scholarship applications open on Friday the 11 th of September. The process will be similar to that followed in previous years. Students who are performing to an above satisfactory level academically and who meet the general expectations of the college on a consistent basis are encouraged to view the application form and scholarship requirements to see if they would like to apply. Scholarships are open to students from Year 7-12 in 2016. If you are planning on applying then please make sure that you are very organised because it does take time and effort to go through the scholarship process. Information about the scholarship process will be available for collection from Mr. Campbell from Friday the 11 th of September. Best of luck to all individuals who make the effort to apply! Toilet Facilities All students are reminded of the need to treat the school bathroom facilities appropriately. If there is any damage or mess made in the toilets then it impacts upon other students as well as school staff. It demonstrates a lack of respect for others and is obviously very unhygienic. In the secondary school toilets in particular this is not acceptable, as these students are more educated about hygiene and should simply know better. When students leave the bathroom in an unhygienic and messy state there is generally some investigation to find out who is responsible. If a person is found to have left the toilets in an inappropriate manner when they should know better, then they will be disciplined. An important reminder in regards to bathroom facilities; Unless given permission by a staff member secondary students are not permitted in the primary toilet facilities, just as primary students (with the exception of the Grade Sixes) are not permitted in the secondary toilet facilities. Monday September 21st - Friday October 2nd 2015 TERM 3 VCE HOLIDAY CLASS TIME TABLE These classes are always important and very beneficial for all students. Classes will count towards attendance as per scheduled normal classes. Students who are unable to attend should discuss their valid reason for not attending with the appropriate teacher prior to the class. School uniform is obviously not required and students are permitted to bring their mobile phones. Please bring all of the required materials. Teachers are running these classes to ensure that students have every opportunity to achieve their potential. They are essential for all of our students as they finish up their coursework and commence examination preparation.

PRIMARY NEWS On Monday 31 st August it was Character Dress-Up Day. The students were to come dressed up as their favourite book character and bring a gold coin donation for the day. The students began in their classrooms taking photos and then we proceeded to the Gym for an assembly and parade. There were so many amazing costumes and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents for creating and dressing their child in great costumes and to the students who embraced this day and came dressed up. I would also like to thank Ms Laura Andreadis for organising the event. In the afternoon the students were engaged in some multi-aging literacy activities which the students really enjoyed. There are many photos which are displayed at the moment on the television which is located in the primary corridor which I encourage parents to have a look at. Today there are some select students who are going to Ross Reserve to compete in the annual district athletics competition. I would like to wish these students the best of luck and encourage them to do their best. I would like to thank Ms Alana Stone, Ms Natasha Padayachee, Ms Saadet Duman and Ms Zerrin Balkaya who are going to assist and support the students today.

Woolworths Can I keep encouraging parents who shop at Woolworths to continue to bring the earn and learn stickers to school. This is greatly appreciated by the school.

30 AĞUSTOS ZAFER BAYRAMI 26 Ağustos 1071 Malazgirt Zaferi ile 26 Ağustos 1922`de başlayıp, 30 Ağustos Zaferi ile neticelenen büyük taarruzun Türk Tarihi`nde dönüm noktasını teşkil ettikleri ve tarihimizin seyrini değiştirdikleri şüphe götürmez bir hakikattir. Tarih sayfaları kahramanlıklarla dolu olan Türk Ordusu, ilkbaharda sefere çıkar, Ağustos ayında düşmanla karşılaşır, kısa zamanda kesin bir zaferle kıştan önce geri dönerdi. Bu yüzden Ağustos ayı Türk`ün tarihinde zaferler ayı diye geçer. Bu kutsal ayda 24`e yakın büyük zaferlerimizi bir değerlendirmeye tabii tutacak olursak, bunların arasında Vatan yapan Malazgirt ile, Vatan kurtaran 30 Ağustos Başkomutanlık Meydan Savaşı sonuçları bakımından çok önemlidir. Orta Asya`dan göç eden Atalarımız 26 Ağustos 1071 Malazgirt Zaferi ile Anadolu`yu ele geçirerek kendilerine yurt edindiler. Böylece cihan devleti haline gelmesi için ilk adım atılmış oldu. Daha sonra Osmanlı Beyliği koskoca bir imparatorluk haline geldi. Osmanlı Devleti Gerileme döneminde kaybettiği toprakları geri almak umuduyla, Birinci Dünya Savaşı`nda Almanlar`ın yanında yer aldı. Almanlar savaşı kaybedince Osmanlı Devleti`de yenilmiş sayıldı ve düşmanlar yurdumuza girdi. M.K. Atatürk 19 Mayıs 1919`da Samsun`a çıkarak Kurtuluş Savaşını başlattı. Bu savaş üç yıl sürdü. 26-30Ağustos 1922 tarihinde yapılan Başkomutanlık Meydan Savaşı,Türk`ün dünyaya bir istiklal ve hürriyet reçetesi yazdırıp, kasasına koyduğu dokuz asırlık tapuyu almaya gelenlere verilen ağır bir derstir. 30 Ağustos ayyıldızlı bayrağımıza uzanan ellerin kırıldığı gündür. Bu zafer kalbi imanla dolu,canından çok sevdiği vatanı için çarpışıp ölüme meydan okuyan kahraman ordumuz ve onun mimarı Mustafa Kemal ve silah arkadaşlarının milletiyle bütünleşerek meydana getirdiği destan içinde destandır. 30Ağustos hasta adamın dişleri dökülüp, tırnakları söküldü zannedilen ve ateşle imtihan edilen O cihan aslanının silkinerek tekrar ayağa kalktığı gündür. 30 Ağustos zaferinden sonra 9 Eylül 1922`de düşmanlar İzmir`de denize dökülerek Kurtuluş Savaşı tamamlandı ve düşmanlar yurttan atıldı. Daha sonra Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti kuruldu.atatürk Cumhuriyet`i kurduktan sonra,yaptığı İnkılaplar ile Türkiye`yi çağdaş uygarlık düzeyine taşıdı.türkiye Cumhuriyeti ilelebet sonsuza kadar yaşayacaktır diyen Atatürk, vatanımızı çok güvendiği Türk gençliğine emanet etmiştir. Vatanın savunulması ve kurtarılması için, canlarını seve seve veren bütün şehitlerimizi birkez daha minnetle anıyor ve Allah`tan rahmet diliyor; Bu vesile ile Türk toplumunun 30 Ağustos Zafer Bayramı`nı canı gönülden kutluyor,sağlık,mutluluk ve esenlikler diliyorum. Hasan Vatandaş Türkçe öğretmeni
