YEAR 7 COORDINATION MISS ABBY TAYLOR Year 7 is a very exciting year marked by great change; from a new school environment, new teachers, subjects and friends, to new expectations and more independence. All of these things offer opportunities for excitement, success and fun, however, with this, comes also a level of challenge. As we approach the end of 2013, I congratulate the Year 7’s of 2013 on their successes and positive contributions to Bayview.

MIDDLE YEARS MRS SHARON CLARK We have had a wonderful year with the Year 8/9 cohort. The group has seen the introduction of the Middle Years Leaders open to the Year 9 students.

During this initiation year, students have been afforded many new opportunities.

However, without the whole Year 8/9 student participation in school and community the year would not have been such a success.

In May the Year 8’s attended the Grampians Retreat Camp. Against extreme weather conditions all students who set out made it to the top of Mt Abrupt. The triumph and sense of achievement was really only felt after returning to base camp after a long hot shower.

The Year 9 calendar was full. The new, highly successful City Camp has been warmly welcomed.

Thank you to Mrs Outtram for her

tireless hours of planning and implementation of this camp. The Year 9 group has participated in Binge Busters and PEER (helping skills for life). Thank you to Mrs Haselton for organising “Try a career day, TAFE TASTER” program.

During term 4 “The Resilience Project”, by Hugh Van Cuylenburg, gave the Year 7 to 10 students a motivating presentation on “How to be Happy”. Congratulations to all Year 9’s for rising to the test of exams.

The results have been pleasing.

2014 will see many new opportunities and challenges afforded to the Middle Years, particularly to the Year 8 group. I look forward to working with all students as they accept the challenges of moving forward, while they continue to learn and grow.

BAYVIEW GIVES VISITING JAPANESE STUDENTS A TASTE OF AUSTRALIAN CULTURE 15 visiting Japanese Students and their teacher enjoyed a taste of Australian culture, when they visited Bayview for 3 weeks.

The students from Matsudo High School arrived in Portland on Sunday 21st July. The students were hosted by Bayview Students and their families.

The Japanese students had the opportunity to participate in classes within the school, an intensive English Language program and a range of co-curricular activities. They went on a tour of the Port of Portland, where resources are shipped from the Port and make their way to Japan. The students experienced surfing at Cape Bridgewater. The Matsudo Students consolidated their English through daily interactions with students and staff. Many of the Bayview families prepared day trip itineraries for their visit, ensuring they had an opportunity to see as much of Victoria as possible.

BAYVIEW STUDENTS VISIT JAPAN Ten Bayview College students spent 14 days in Japan as part of the annual exchange program to Matsudo Kokusai High School.

The Japanese Exchange program originally started at Bayview in 1996 and has provided the opportunity for over 200 children to experience both a different culture both in the school and home environment.

The students winged their way to Osaka, Japan, then continued to Hiroshima early the following morning. Coming from a cold winter in Portland the students were surprised by the humidity which made walking around for long periods of time a little exhausting.

Everyone was intrigued by the unique shops which made shopping an appealing pastime.

The highlight for the majority of the students was the vending machines, which serve up an array of interesting, mundane and some highly useful items.

The first six days the students had the opportunity to visit historic sites, shop in the traditional craft markets, Tokyo Disneyland, Atomic Bomb Peace Park and taste the famous Miyajima delicacies.

On day six the students had the opportunity to meet up with the host families in Tokyo then travelled to Matsudo, located in northern Chiba Prefecture, Japan. They were introduced by their Japanese host family

to the school. This gave the Bayview students the prospect to consolidate their Japanese by attending daily “Japanese as a Second Language� classes as well as participating in day trips with their host families.

Many of the Matusdo families prepared itineraries for our visiting students ensuring they got an opportunity to see as much of Matsudo and the surrounding area as possible.

HUMANITIES MS YVONNE ANSON Humanities covers a variety of subjects including Accounting, Business Management, Geography, History and Legal Studies. At Bayview these subjects are covered at various year levels from Year 7 to Year 12.

2013 has been a very busy year with the introduction of the new National Curriculum for History from Years 7 to 10 and the development of the new National Curriculum for Geography to be introduced in 2014. VCE classes have been run in all 5 subjects offered within the Humanities area with VCE Units 3 & 4 taught for Geography, Accounting and Business Management.

At Year 7 students learn about “What is History” and “What is Geography”. They develop the basic knowledge and skills so they can succeed in these subjects in Year 8 and beyond. Studying Otzi the 5300 year old ice mummy and making artefacts from Ancient Greece were the highlights for the Year 7 History classes this year. In Geography students have learnt about the extremes of Antarctica and how maps, graphs and aerial photographs can help us interpret different places on Earth.

Medieval History, the Asia Pacific region and the Earth’s environments are some of the topics enjoyed by Year 8s.

Students used their geography skills to plan a trip around the world and the study of Asian Pacific countries was completed with the ASIA PACIFIC FLAG “CAKE DAY”

“flag day”. This has become a very popular way to finalise the Unit with a feast of student made “flag cakes”.

At Year 9 students get out and about in Geography. The GPS units donated by the P&F have been put to great use during coastal fieldwork. Students used the GPS to map features on Nuns beach and shared their knowledge about the beach with each other through a fantastic array of class presentations. As a part of Year 9 camp all visited Werribee Zoo and attended the “Eat or Be Eaten” education session - a great introduction to the Endangered Species unit. The Year 9’s and VCE Legal studies students also had fun participating in “Parliament Alive” where educators from Parliament House in Canberra ran a mock session of Federal Parliament.

The plight of people in Rwanda is one of the many interesting topics studied in Year 10. Students have been challenged to think about inequalities across the world, why they exist and what actions are being taken.

VCE Geography students completed a major fieldwork study on Portland Aluminum smelter, looking at it as an important resource for Portland.

and Alcoa, research projects, essays, mapping, graphing, completing presentations, solving historical mysteries and making models, artefacts, timelines and posters.

Next year we are looking forward to the introduction of the new Geography curriculum which includes fieldwork at all year levels. Humanities is also running a “Business Alive” elective which will give year 9 and 10 students a taste of Accounting, Business Management and Legal Studies to prepare them for VCE. NOODLES FOR A CAUSE Year 12 Geography students decided to embark on an exercise to help raise money for a boy in Vietnam to continue on with his schooling. The 2012 Year 12 Geography students raised $60, which is all that is needed to sponsor 1 child to go to school through the Thanh Loc Project, we continued to sponsor the same child this year. Each student ate boiled noodles for 2 weeks, forfeiting their normal lunch and putting the money they would normally spend towards the sponsorship. The students enjoyed the exercise, bonding with each other over a bowl of hot noodles, but also knowing they had helped Tran Minh Khoi attend school.

FIELD WORK Humanities subjects are taught using a very wide variety of tasks and techniques. Across the year levels students have completed many different types of work including fieldwork at Nun’s Beach 9B NUNS BEACH FIELDWORK

SCIENCE MR HAIBO WANG Science has been influencing people’s lives for a few centuries.

The relevance and mystery of science to us is a motivation for students’ learning. In the past hundreds of years, thousands of scientists have contributed their intelligence and adventures to the development of modern science.

As knowledge takers, learning from previous generations is as important as experimenting. In school, in classrooms, students need experimental activities to experience the practical parts of Science, but we are not inventing anything at this stage. Theory is still dominating the whole secondary Science study.

Science teachers at Bayview College work hard to promote Science learning in their own ways.

By combining curriculum learning with extra curricular activities, the students are motivated and strengthened. Their results are evidence that students at Bayview are performing well compared with other students bench marked in the state.

ICAS The ICAS Science test was undertaken by all students from Year 7 to Year 10 in Bayview College. The results of the competition reflect the improvement trend in Science teaching and learning. Patrick Webster, Eilish Drought, Alice

Taylor all Year 9 and Laura Whitehead in Year 8 were awarded a Distinction, which means that they are in the top 10% among the participants in the state. The Science faculty has been working cooperatively to tailor the teaching program to align with National Curriculum and Bayview College’s thinking school philosophy, which prepares the younger students to take VCE Science.

Teaching Science outside the classroom makes Science more interesting and relevant to our students and promotes Science learning. 7A class visited the Auto museum to investigate simple machines. The class also made catapults in the class when looking at levers. 7B Science class investigated Simple machines and completed a playground equipment analysis.

SCIENCE IN THE OUTDOORS Year 9/10 elective students undertook environmental studies and revegetation works on farms at Cashmore and Mt Richmond with Conservation Volunteers. Year 9A Science undertook field work at Fawthrop Lagoon.

Teachers in the Science Faculty are always following the new development of Science and technology. We present this knowledge to our students to prepare them for their further study.

PHYSICS IN ACTION Year 12 Physics students enjoyed a day of ‘physics in action’ when they attended Luna Park for the day. The students shared the Park with 600 other physics students from across Victoria in what is now an annual event. The park is shut to the general public and the students literally take over. They have 12 selected rides and they complete a series of worksheets, especially designed by a group of physics teachers, which focus on the practical side of the ‘motion’ section studied in Unit 3 Physics.

The worksheets are challenging and promote much thought and discussion which is great for helping them to grasp some of the more challenging parts of the course.

MATHEMATICS MR HAIBO WANG All members in the Mathematics Faculty have been working hard to promote Mathematics learning through 2013 school year and implement the National Curriculum.

In 2013, students at Bayview College participated in three different Mathematics Competitions: Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians 2013 Enrichment Stage, International Competitions and Assessment for Schools (ICAS), and the 25th Annual Mathematics Contest hosted by The School of Information Technology of Deakin University.

Joshua Mitchell, Hamish Clark and Beau Stafford all from Year 8 took part in the 16 week challenge in the Enrichment Stage of “Euler”.

We congratulate their effort, enthusiasm and can-do attitude of facing the challenge and working to the best of their abilities. Joshua was awarded a Credit, just one mark off Distinction. Mr Clint Foster was the mentor of the boys and guided them to solve problems with Mathematical thinking.

ICAS & NAPLAN ICAS Mathematics has been taken by all students from Year 7 to Year 10 in Bayview College. The results of the competition reflect the improving trend of Mathematics teaching and learning in the school. Scott Leathbridge, Eilish Drought, Alice Taylor, Joshua Mitchell, Campbell Reefman and Charlie Ryan were awarded a Distinction, which means that they

are in the top 10% among the participants in the state.

NAPLAN results of Year 9 show the trend of improving compared to their results in Year 7. Data shows that Bayview College student’s results for both Year 7 and 9 are above the state average in all aspects. The Year 7 and 9 teaching teams know their students well and implement differentiated teaching strategies to offer the opportunity for each individual student to reach their learning potential.

Promoting excellence in numeracy is one of the programs undertaken by the Mathematics Faculty in 2013 school year. All Mathematics teachers worked collectively with a numeracy consultant from Creating Real Mathematicians to implement teaching mathematics through problem solving and the numeracy senior advisor of National Partnerships from Independent School Victoria to use informative assessment for differentiated teaching.

In the week of May 27th to 30th, we had a full week of intensive model teaching for our mathematics teachers of junior school. Making mathematics relevant and teaching Mathematics through problems is one of the keys to motivate young students. Even though it was only a one week program, it will impact our teaching and benefit us forever. This program was funded by Independent Schools Victoria. The National Partnership of ISV also offer us support by

sending a senior numeracy advisor to our school 3 days each term through the year. The advisor worked with individual teachers for lesson planning, implementation, classroom observation and feedback.

As we all know this is the first year of National Curriculum for Mathematics. There has been a lot of aligning the topics and sequence of teaching, especially for the topics that have changed between year levels. Mathematics Faculty is a united and productive team. We are willing to change to embrace the new era of teaching to accommodate the new generation learners and technology.

BAYVIEW MATHEMATICS COMPETITORS Mercedes Schwedes, Aren Tober, Sarah Cottier, Runu Hann & Grace Davey participated the 25th Annual Mathematics Contest hosted by Deakin University in Geelong on Friday 30th August.

Almost two hundred Year 10 students from 23 different schools took part in this team based and solo competition. Bayview team and individual students achieved good results with Mercedes ranking at 20th and Aren ranking at 41st out of 185 participating students. The students enjoyed the day and would like to thank Mr Morrow for organising the trip and taking the team to the competition and Mr Foster for training and mentoring the team.

ENGLISH MRS DEBRA CRESPAN The study of English engages students in reading, viewing, listening to, writing, creating, comparing, researching and talking about a range of text types from the simple to the complex, from texts dealing with concrete and straightforward information to those dealing with increasingly complex and abstract issues and ideas. English teachers encourage students to explore the meaning of texts and how meaning is conveyed. They introduce critical approaches to the ideas and thinking contained in texts and support students in the development of critical understanding about the ways writers and speakers control language to influence their listeners, readers and viewers.

THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM TEACHING AND LEARNING The ability of an individual to manipulate language to deliver his/her message confidently and in a clear and precise manner is not necessarily a talent with which one is born. This skill is honed through communication interactions, misunderstandings and revisions, critical feedback and constant practice; all in the hope of being more clearly understood. As our adolescents immerse themselves in the latest communication and gaming devices, and become increasingly known as the ‘entertain me’ generation, we witness many of them abandon

the pursuit of reading.

It is not unusual to hear a VCE student claim (with pride) “that the only books or reading I have done, is the English novels, because I had to.” I can guarantee that any hour spent reading will be of far greater educational benefit, than any hour spent gaming. Reading is not just ‘school business’ and I would encourage all parents and caregivers to join with us in encouraging the development of this skill. Be it on a tablet, kindle, in a newspaper, a special interest magazine or even the paperback novel; the ability to read and comprehend quickly and accurately will never go out of fashion.

NAPLAN & ICAS Our Year 7&9 students once again participated in the NAPLAN and students in Years 7-10 also participated in ICAS; a national benchmark test from the University of New South Wales. ICAS and NAPLAN contribute data to enable student literacy tracking and are used to inform curriculum development, allowing us to target specific areas of literacy for explicit focus. High performers in the ICAS competition include: Year 7: Sophie Russell Year 8: Campbell Reefman, Zoe Sharrock, Charlie Ryan, Selwyn Williams & Amelia Macklin Year 9: Alice Taylor, Eilish Drought, Claire Charman & Liam Conrad Year 10: Kayla Gorry, Tom Williams, Madeline Englezos & Sheldon Lynn

Notably, students achieving in the top 10% amongst those who participated in this prestigious competition, received a Distinction Certificate and a school recognition medallion: Year 8 – Campbell Reefman (96 percentile) Year 9–Eilish Drought (96 percentile), Year 10–Kayla Gorry (93 percentile), Our Year 8 Alice Taylor (99 percentile) should be especially proud of her High Distinction Recognition.

PUBLIC SPEAKING & DEBATING To have the confidence to deliver an opinion with authority and justify that conviction with clarity is a skill that is highly sought after.

All students from Years 7 -12 are explicitly taught these skills and supported to develop spoken texts of increasing complexity using digital, visual and audio support. Year 9 students immersed themselves in the Podcasting Unit, using digital support and editing software to present a professional film review. Margaret and David from the ABC may soon find their jobs under threat.

Debating activities continued at a Year 10 level and this is an exciting and challenging way to develop confidence and public speaking skills in a supportive team environment.

The Annual Year 12 Art exhibition of Bayview College, Portland Secondary College, Heywood and District Secondary College and Casterton Secondary took place at the Portland Arts Centre, where the individual talents and creations of our students were once again showcased. The Year 12 Studio Arts students were provided with an in depth exam revision session at the Hamilton Art Gallery by the gallery director, Mr. Danny McGowan and education officer, Mrs. Sue McGinnity. Students also visited the Elizabeth Arthur private gallery where they viewed new works in marquette form by the famous Inge King. Bayview also held the first exhibition at the Julia Street Creative Arts centre, showcasing the VCE Textiles, Wood and Visual Communication Design folios and student work. Bayview had the privilege of being the organizing school this year for the Portland Music Festival and performers and back stage crew certainly provided a quality evening for all.

Many thanks go to The Arts faculty members and assistants for providing such engaging classes and activities throughout the year.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN MRS SHARON CLARK 2013 saw the implementation of a new Study Design which has given the subject Visual Communication Design greater scope and depth.

Compulsory study focus areas include: Communication Design (Graphic Design, Information Design, Digital, Book Illustration, Packaging, Brand Identity and Illustration), Environmental Design (Architecture Design, Interior design, Landscape Design, Set Design and Exhibition/Display Design) and Industrial Design (Engineering Design, Product Design, Furniture and Fashion design).

This diversity of subjects broadens career paths.

Students in Year’s 7-10 have worked from predetermined briefs set by the teacher. Examples of work undertaken have included: stamp designs, packaging, symbols for publishing companies and self-promotion and book covers, architecture and perspective and paraline drawing.

Students undertaking Units 1 to 4 had a busy start to the year travelling to Melbourne to see TOP DESIGN at the Melbourne Museum.

This was a fantastic opportunity to see the best students’ work in the state.

This serves as excellent motivation for the year ahead. Students

also visited Ink and Spindle, an environmentally aware textile manufacturer. This session was fun and informative, and is also a requirement for the Coursework in Unit 3 on Professional Practice.

Many thanks to Mr Rodger Hampshire (Portland Laser Cutting), Mrs Helen Bennett and Mr Andrew Bryant (Portland Sign works) for their on going support with this subject.

PHOTOGRAPHY Students embraced the return to the Photography elective during 2013. Combining traditional hand made and digital techniques, students created highly effective work for their folio and exhibition spaces.

THE PERFORMING ARTS MISS BONITA GERALDENE 2013 has been year of masterpieces and success. Throughout the year, the 7 and 8 students in both Music and Drama have worked to master their skills and create performance pieces. The Music students learnt the instruments in a rock band and performed a final song to an audience. The Drama students created performances ranging from Melodrama to Characterisation.

The Annual School Production is always a hit; this year was no exception with The Wizard of Oz playing to 5 sold out shows. These shows are the wonderful success they are due to the contribution of our whole Bayview community. Firstly the hard work, dedication and complete professionalism of a very talented cast were inspirational. With a collection of wonderful senior students to lead an energetic and willing junior cast, this group of young actors is now a tight unit, a connection they will have forever. The production doesn’t run without the months of preparation and back stage support teams. We had staff, parents, current students, past students and community members with all hands on deck preparing the costumes, back stage, hair, make-up, set and props, ticketing, supper and lots of little things they certainly didn’t go unnoticed. The help for all elements of the performance are truly appreciated and all involved benefit positively from it in so many ways.

At the Annual Portland Music Festival Bayview was represented by 2 of the students performing groups. Their cover versions of songs, and unique interpretation was warmly received by the audiences on both nights.

We are looking forward to seeing what 2014 brings in the Performing Arts.

FOOD AND NUTRITION MS PAT CZERNIAK As always, in retrospect, the year has passed with alarming speed. The pressure to achieve desired student outcomes within what seems to be less time in the classroom presents a challenge not unique to Food and Nutrition. The kitchen and adjoining classroom has had regular use not only by classes studying Food and Nutrition but by other subjects and classes within the school. VCAL students, Schoolies With a Cause students, students of Japanese, Geography and Health and Human Development as well as Bayview College’s Parents and Friends group have used the rooms throughout the year. On occasion community groups have also negotiated to use the kitchens.

The Year 7 students had an intermittent exposure to Food and Nutrition. Our budding cooks have produced edible items such as tacos, macaroni cheese and fried rice within a given framework of time, while being mindful of safety and hygiene.

The Year 8 students under the guidance of Mrs Helen MacPherson have built on the skills learned in Year 7. The tantalising smell of muffins, chocolate pudding and chicken and vegetable stir fry have wafted through the corridors to the exasperation of students nearby.

The Year 9/10 courses, Cuisines Of The World and Cooking For Special Occasions have required students to exert much greater personal responsibility in terms of recipe selection, submission of food orders and the effective management of class time to achieve an end product that is contributed to a buffet style presentation for the whole class to enjoy. These learning experiences teach our young cooks

many organisational skills that will stand them in good stead in future life. The cuisines of Morocco, Spain, Vietnam, and China were experienced and extended the palates of class members. A Christmas dinner, BBQ, morning/ afternoon tea and A Taste Of Vietnam evening meal for the Schoolies With A Cause students and parents were highlights of the entertaining unit.

I must acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Mrs Karen Tober who has assisted in the practical sessions as a parent volunteer for the last 8 years. The extra hands, eyes and ears have helped our young people stay safe and on track in a classroom filled to the brim with noise and activity. I am appreciative of the expertise she has been able to contribute and her willingness to often be present for large scale functions catered for

by Bayview students after hours.

Ms Dot Leathbridge and Mrs Ros Kerz have facilitated the success of this subject through weekly grocery shopping and area maintenance.

A grateful thanks is given to both ladies.

Bayview is fortunate to have a wonderfully equipped and attractive work space in Food and Nutrition. The ability to develop skills relating to the provision of nutritious family food is imperative to the future health and wellbeing of all Australians as we battle an obesity epidemic. The adage of when we know better, we do better certainly applies here.

I would encourage our young people to spend time in the family kitchen preparing, tasting and experimenting with the wonderful range of foods we have in our lucky country.

Bon Apetit everyone!!

HEALTH & PE MRS DONNA FEARON Year 10 students were involved in the Innovative Games Program this year.

This involved students creating their own minor games and developing their coaching skills. Students then went in to Portland Primary School and All Saints Primary School and taught these games to students in Year 4-6. Learning to Drive & Keys 2 Drive Programs were also delivered to Year 10 students, this time by VicRoads.

These programs involved students becoming familiar with aspects of road safety and a broadening of their understanding of driving conditions.

Students were then required to complete a comprehensive road safety assignment which gave them a further appreciation of what skills they need to have in order to become competent and safe drivers.

VCE Health and Human Development students gained valuable examination tips and advice from author and examiner Sonia Goodacre who came in for a seminar earlier this year. In Year 9 Health we have been working alongside Community Liaison Officer Lee-Anne Nelson from Portland Police to offer lessons on healthy relationships. The students were able to discuss the structure of healthy and unhealthy relationships whilst also gaining knowledge from Lee-Anne in a range of topic areas including family violence and cyber bullying.

More recently, Year 7 and Year 8 have been piloting new fitness units in their PE lessons. They have been looking at different ways to get fit. This has included circuit training in school and taster sessions including water aerobics, fitness boot camps and classes at the YMCA.

VCAL MRS KAYE O’BRIEN Bayview College Year of VCAL, VCAL stands for the ‘Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning’ and thus the focus for this group of students is to learn through doing.

Students are expected to take on various leadership roles and to plan and implement activities that enable real life learning to occur. For some, the challenges are quite daunting and significant growth has to occur in order for the outcomes of each area to be met. Outcomes in the areas of Literacy, Numeracy, Work Related Skills and Personal Development must all be achieved to a satisfactory standard in order for the students to attain their VCAL certification. VCAL students also complete either a School Based Apprenticeship 1 day per week or a work placement arrangement is made. Furthermore, VET courses at TAFE are attended on a Wednesday afternoon for most. It is a busy and varied schedule for all students.

2013 has been a busy and productive year for the VCAL class. A combined Intermediate and Senior group have faced many challenges and have completed a number of ‘Applied Learning’ activities throughout the year that have not only benefited their personal learning and development but also the wider community.

The year began with the group learning about the requirements of each area of the course and the ways in which the outcomes would be met. Project work was

the focus, with the group having to work together to plan and implement a major project. This involved researching concepts such as social diversity, meeting procedures, negotiation, communication and the use of ICT in promotion and planning.

The first major project decided upon was the ‘Fluro Friday’ event.

Initially the group wanted to put on a Sunday music afternoon on the green, but through the planning process, they realised that the weather in the month of May was not conducive to this type of outdoor event. With further negotiation and discussion, the ‘Fluro Friday’ event was agreed upon and planning underway.

Students put a lot of time and effort into the planning of the evening, however, it was not supported by the youth of Portland and had to be cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. Although this was disappointing for the group, the evaluation process that followed helped the students to identify areas in which they could have improved or changes that may have ensured greater success.

Making community connections is also a focus of the VCAL program and this was something that all students embraced. All students chose a local community group and researched the role of that group in Portland. Students had to interview a spokesperson from their chosen group and complete an oral presentation on their findings. Further to this

connection, students then had to plan an activity that would raise awareness of the community group researched and/or plan an event that would raise money to be donated.

A variety of activities occurred ranging from volunteering at Loaves and Fishes to selling cupcakes for the RSPCA. Students also completed a TAFE course of Certificate 2 in Volunteering throughout Term 3.

This was then followed up with the students completing volunteer work with Conservation Volunteers, the Salvation Army and the SWAC Team.

The final activity for VCAL 2013 was the planning and implementation of the very successful Freeza Breakfest Gig held on the Friday evening of the Upwelling festival. In conjunction with the Glenelg Shire Council Youth Officer, Hayley Dunning, the VCAL class worked from start to end in the planning and running of the Breakfest DJ Event. Students met weekly with Ms Dunning and worked through all of the requirements that are necessary to put on such an event. Staging, lighting, security, entertainment, canteen, first aid and many more elements had to be organised and implemented by the group. The event was very well supported by local youth and the class worked tirelessly on the night to reap the rewards of their hard work.

Many other activities and tasks have been completed along the way in all areas of the VCAL course. We hope that the class of 2014 is already thinking about the types of things that interest them and how they can put their interests into practical measures as the applied learners of the school.

FAITH AND VALUES Students are encouraged throughout the Faith and Values program to consider the role that faith has in people’s lives. By developing an understanding of Christian traditions, an appreciation of other faith perspectives, and knowledge of the rituals associated with religion, students develop deeper understanding of the human story.

A key focus for the Faith and Values team in 2013 was enabling the students to grapple with real life issues and explore them from a faith perspective. One way we achieved this was in the Year 10 program.

This year the Year 10 students were introduced to the study of Ethics.

All Year 10 students undertook VCE Religion and Society Unit 2 across the year, with the vast majority enrolling through VCAA in this VCE unit, thus gaining extra credit.

As people of faith it is important that students are introduced to a number of opportunities to respond to these issues in a practical way.

Our annual Winter Appeal, our outreach to the wider community, our knitting club that created blankets for the elderly are all practical ways of expressing our faith and compassion for our neighbour.

The Faith and Values team thank each of the ministers of the member Churches, Pr Richard Schwedes, Fr Peter Mather, Fr Peter Sherman, Rev Denise Naish and Rev David Morland for their support, encouragement and leadership of each of the Church services.

COMMENCEMENT SERVICE At the commencement service for 2013 we welcomed the new students and staff to our community and blessed all those members of the community taking on leadership. We encouraged all students and staff to let their light shine. Each person has unique talents and gifts given to us by God and we need to develop these talents to the best of our ability in order to make the most of our human life.

WALK FOR A CURE & RELAY FOR LIFE WALK FOR A CURE The Bayview community came together on the last day of term 3 to raise money for Find A Cure for Juveniles Type 1 Diabetes by walking around the Lagoon. The day, coordinated by Year 11 students, was aimed at raising money. It was also an opportunity for the students and staff to remember former Bayview student Kiah Finlayson who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a child.

RELAY 4 LIFE Bayview College and community once again came together to support Relay For Life, which celebrates cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost and fight back against cancer.

FOOD DRIVE The annual food drive to support Loaves and Fishes Winter Drive Appeal was well supported by the Bayview community. Thank you to the generous donations by our students and their families we were able to assist those members of our community who are less fortunate than us.

HARMONY DAY Harmony Day was celebrated at Bayview with the school awash in the colour orange. Students were encouraged to wear orange clothes as it is the official colour of National Harmony Day. We celebrated the day with a range of activities including a game of soccer with the two teams (Teachers v Students) fighting it out to the end. Coach Les Horovitz and referee David Stafford volunteered their time to the school to make it a great game on the field.

Dr Kearney said “It is always a fun day for the students and a great way for us all to get together and celebrate the wonderful diversity of our school and local community”.

GO RED FOR WOMEN The Heart Foundation initiative “Go Red For Women” saw the staff at Bayview wearing every shade of red and enjoying a sumptuous healthy red morning tea on Wednesday.

The awareness campaign and fundraiser aims to improve knowledge about heart disease for women.

Local advocate for the Go Red For Women campaign and Bayview staff member Mrs Kaye O’Brien said “most women are more concerned about their husband, partner, brother or son having heart disease than themselves. I wanted to draw attention to the fact that 11,000

5

women die from heart disease every year in Australia.

It is not just an issue that affects men.”

The morning tea enabled attention to be drawn to the fact that women should develop good health practices and ensure they are educating the next generation in order that the same errors are not being made.

HORTICULTURAL CLUB The Horticultural Club was initiated because some students have a keen interest in plants and gardening, in particular herbs.

They have completed a revamp of the Herb Garden in school and created new low maintenance gardens as part of Bayview’s contribution to the Trade Training Centre. Their work will continue around the school.

RECONCILIATION DAY MRS DEBRA CRESPAN Jeremy Boyer (Year 12) proved to be an impressive orator, representing the Bayview Community at Reconciliation Week celebrations. His speech outlined what it was like to be an unwitting victim of casual racism.

His heartfelt testament and plea for inclusion through interaction was an important lesson for all, giving great hope and a practical direction for reconciliation. The school community was most proud of him.

Our Literacy Day celebrations were delayed a week to coincide with Aboriginal literacy day and enable our students and staff to take part in fundraising aimed at closing the gap of reading disadvantage and to support Aboriginal literacy objectives. A healthy sum was donated to this cause.

RIDE 2 SCHOOL Although the weather was a little challenging it didn’t stop students from riding to school on National Ride 2 School day.

Jack Gorry, Tyler Smith & Damon Huppatz enjoyed a free breakfast once they arrived at school. Thank-you to Glenelg Shire Council who provided sponsorship for this event.

NEW FRIENDSHIPS FORGED 6

Ten Year 8 girls from Bayview College had the opportunity to meet and form new friendships with Indigenous students from the Worawa Aboriginal College, Healesville, during their visit to the area in June.

The 45 students from Worawa were on a week’s camp to observe the diverse wildlife and the rich human history of the Koroitgundidj people at Tower Hill in Warrnambool. The area contained a rich source of foods for the indigenous people living in the area.

Students from Bayview were invited to share the experience, exchange cultural activities with the long term goal of creating a sister school program. Principal Dr Michelle Kearney who attended the day said “It was a wonderful experience for all involved. The students at Worawa come from all over Australia and our students established connections with young women from Darwin, Alice Springs and remote areas of the Territory.” The girls from both schools participated in a range of experiences including boomerang throwing, foraging for bush tucker

the girls, learning more about their culture and learning some basic Aboriginal language and I made some new friends!” said Jessie Keegan. Worawa staff has invited Bayview students to visit the school in Healesville, join them on a Dreaming Walk, and continue to build the friendships in 2014. Worawa Aboriginal College is Victoria’s only Independent Aboriginal Community School. The College is located 60 kilometres from Melbourne on 55 hectares in the Yarra Valley that once formed part of the Coranderrk Aboriginal Station. Worawa was established to provide an education for Aboriginal students with a focus on Aboriginal teachings and cultural

COMMUNITY BAYVIEW WELCOMES CHINESE STUDENTS TO AUSTRALIAN SCHOOL LIFE The Chinese students were hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Portland and were keen to visit and share the experience of school life in Australia.

Bayview College welcomed the students and provided an opportunity to participate in a range of activities aimed at building understanding of the difference in classroom and social culture.

“With greater emphasis on engaging economically, culturally and politically with our Asian neighbours we value the opportunities provided to our staff and students to learn, respond and celebrate Chinese Culture in the classroom”, said Dr Michelle Kearney.

INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY On the 17th March 15 girls attended the Pacific Hydro International Women’s Day High Tea at the Portland Golf Club. The students had the opportunity to hear from a diverse range of inspirational role models who spoke about their own unique individual career pathway.

COLLINGWOOD FOOTBALL CLINIC YEAR 9 VOLUNTEERING Bayview students from Year 9 had the opportunity to work alongside the Collingwood Football Club to deliver football skill sessions to Primary School students. It was a great day with many of our students gaining valuable insight into running a junior clinic.

GLENELG LIVE Portland LIVE is a project aims to create an ALL Ages community space that will revitalise the foreshore area on Bentinck Street. During March Glenelg Shire Council staff invited Bayview College students to participate in a brainstorming session to find out how they would like the space developed. Some of the ideas they shared included; an outdoor cinema, pontoon, Wi-Fi hotspot and cafe.

INTERHOUSE MALE 13 YEARS

SWIMMING INTERHOUSE MRS LEANNE OUTTRAM The day was beautiful, not too much sun but no rain. The students all dressed in themes this year, decided by their house captains after having lengthy discussions with their respective houses. All costumes were amazing and made the spirit of the day one of joy and excitement. A house chant competition was introduced this year during the lunch break. All 3 houses had to come up with something fun, loud and meaningful to their particular house. This was the highlight watching the 3 houses try to out do the other while performing their chant. 3 new events were also incorporated into the day – cork scramble, disc search and noodle relay. It was great to see students who don’t usually participate get in the pool and have a go.

It was a fantastic day, one that will be remembered for a long time to come.

Paige Clayton and Meg Schultz both competed in the 13 Years age group with Meg coming in equal 5th and advancing on to the next round in Melbourne.

Meg sprinted the last 50 metres to catch the leaders overtaking 4 or 5 girls to end up in this place. This is a fantastic effort and she should be very proud. Paige also did a fantastic job coming in the middle of the pack, around top 20.

were held at Casterton on Friday 22nd March. Bayview had 69 competitors for the day which is an amazing effort for a small school. Unfortunately due to injury or school commitments the team was condensed to 59 competitors. All students were great ambassadors for the school behaving and performing admirably. It was a pleasure to be part of the Bayview Team.

Some highlights of the day included Rachael Bennett being awarded the 20 Year old female champion, Jeremy Boyer breaking

Lucas Baldock took 3 wickets for 29 runs, Jeremy Boyer very economical with 0/8, and the best bowling on the day by Jason Pitt with 3 wickets for only 9 runs.

Casterton finished their innings on 8/91. Bayview moved very quickly to a total of 168 runs, only dropping 5 wickets. Mark Pitt was our top scorer with 66 runs not out, hitting 1 six and 7 fours. Lucas Baldock also made a half century quite quickly with 8 boundaries.

Game 2 saw our boys take on the Monivae 1sts, Bayview made 9/108, with Rowan Marshall our top scorer on 29 with 3 boundaries.

Monivae have a Victorian Cricket Academy player in their team, and the Pitt brothers claimed the scalp, stopping him short at 28 runs, with Jason Pitt bowling a slower spinning ball that was edged out to Mark Pitt.

3 BAYS MARATHON Bayview 3 Bays teams pushed through tough conditions.

It was a strong northerly wind that greeted the first runners of the Bayview Junior and Senior relay teams at the 3 Bays marathon this year. This year we had both a junior and senior team compete allowing more students to participate in this community event.

Both teams showed great spirit with the senior team coming in 2nd with a time of 2:49:27 and the junior team coming in at 3:12:24.

Special recognition to Bayview students Lachlan Huppatz (Year 10) competing the half marathon run in 5th position in a time of 1:29:41 and Thomas Hernan (Year 8) also completing the half marathon in a time of 1:55:42.

IRB AUSTRALIAN TITLES; DARWIN JULY ELLA EADE, JESSE & JAKE STONE & KEEGAN BILSON At the beginning of the competition no one knew where Portland was, we were one of few Victorian clubs that competed. Both our male & female teams competed in all events; this included the straight rescue, mass rescue, teams rescue, tube rescue and the lifesaver relay.

Portland did really well making it into semi finals for most events with the girls’ team going through to the finals in nearly all of them.

It was quite different competing in a hot climate, for us this is a winter sport where hypothermia is usually our biggest worry. It was an awesome time away and we would like to thank the Portland Surf Life Saving Club and we encourage people to come and see what we do.
