SECONDARY NEWS
National Science Week
This year’s Science Week was celebrated by Year 7 students who applied a range of skills in a Bridge Building challenge. In
addition, a group of Year 7 Quantum and EFS students assisted Year 6 students in conducting a few simple experiments, in the
secondary science laboratories. From all accounts, great fun was had by all in the learning of science.

666 ABC Canberra Science Experimentarium competition
Two Telopea students Jessica Kriticos (Year 7) and Adrian Lehane (Year 4) were on ABC 666 radio as runner-up winners in the
Science Experimentarium competition held in the lead-up to National Science Week. As part of their prize Jessica and Adrian
were guest DJs during the 666 ABC live radio broadcast from the Geoscience Australia Open Day on 24 August.
They explained the Strawberry DNA experiment they did as part of their "Science Fest", where they "massacred" strawberries
and added chemicals to extract DNA from them. There were lots of steps in the experiment and in the end the DNA looked like
clear slime! The video of their experiment is accessible via www.facebook.com/LesExplorateursScouts.

The benefits of language learning and the research behind the claims
Meredith Box, Japanese teacher
There are four basic areas where language learning benefits learners, according to a broad base of research. The first of those
benefits is presented here. I recommend that you access the research links at the end of this document to read further.
Benefits 1 General cognitive and academic benefits
No matter how long you study a language for, research shows that learning an additional language greatly contributes to a
student’s cognitive and educational development. Using more than one language “stretches” the brain – encouraging more
connections and, especially when learned at an earlier age, actually adds to brain cells. While most research looks at younger
children, there is also evidence that learning an additional language can lead to improved performance across the curriculum.
Dealing with more than one language provides opportunities to develop memory skills and look at things from different angles –
hence enhancing lateral thinking and creative thinking – a great asset in problem solving.
Learning another language also involves finding out about how language works – and has proven benefits for English language
literacy. It also makes it easier to learn further languages – maybe required later for study, travel or work.
Regardless of whether or not the language learned is developed to a high level of fluency, the foundational learning skills are
transferable and useful.
It is also never too late to learn, though research indicates that the benefits are greater, the longer the language is learned. If
you only speak English you might consider trying to learn another language yourself – maybe the same one as your child at the
school so you can help each other.
Won’t it detract from other areas of the curriculum? No. Many of the skills are transferable to other school subjects and the
long term benefits may be considerable.

Italian Language classes with Signora Shihoff
This term the Italian Year 9’s worked busily on a Commedia Dell’Arte performance for their oral assessment. They were guided
by two teachers, Signora Shihoff for the language component and Mr Spahr for the theatre component. A pre-service teacher
from University of Canberra, Ms Yvanovich also helped the class with their dialogues and skits. She commented on the Unit: “it
was great to see the students connect with Italy’s rich cultural heritage and to see them having fun becoming their characters
through walking, movement and language.”
While studying Italian immigration for Term 3, the Year 10 Italian class had the pleasure of hearing about the life journey of
Francesco Crispino, an Italo- Australian immigrant from Naples who took a job for Alfa Romeo in the 1970’s and ended up loving
Canberra so much he decided to remain here. He told the students some interesting and shocking tales about life in Naples
during the war. Many families in Naples did not have any work and Francesco’s father did not work for many years, having no
job opportunities due to his refusal to join the fascist party. So Francesco and his brothers and sisters were forced to steal
clothes and food from the resident American navy troops. He said that if you were caught stealing chocolate milk, the Americans
would make you eat the entire packet. If you were caught stealing clothes, the American troops would strip you of all your
clothes and send you off completely starkers. It was an interesting and valuable lesson in Italian history.
ANU Indonesian Day 2014
On September 17th Indonesian students from years 7 to 10 will have the chance to spend a day of activities at the ANU.
They will attend a series of workshops, learning about Indonesian culture and history, in a practical and fun way. The
programme is organised by the Australia Indonesia Youth Association, with the ANU.

Discover French cities online
Learning French is fun when we share. Telopea Park Year 10 French students are developing a website about a French city of
their choice. Their websites are designed for a teenage audience. This term, they created sections about gastronomy, geography,
festivals and more. They are not only assessing their progression but also the progress their peers. They will add other sections
next term, so stay tuned!
Interested in knowing more about France? Please feel free to surf on their websites, challenge yourself and play the games or
simply post questions, feedback or comments.

Expérience de professeur stagiaire à Telopea Park School
Étudiante à l'université de Canberra en Master of Teaching, j'ai fait mon deuxième stage à l'école franco-australienne de Telopea
Park School en tant que professeur de français. Cette expérience m'a beaucoup apporté, aussi bien en terme de pratique que de
connaissance du fonctionnement d'une école bilingue.
Lorsque je suis arrivée, j'ai été très bien accueillie par le département des langues. J'ai commencé par une phase d'observation
de quelques jours puis j'ai pu commencer directement à enseigner aux années 7 et 10 avec l'aide d'un professeur tuteur et j'ai
même pu participer à une classe de cuisine. J'ai apprécié tous mes cours ici et le stage n'est pas terminé!
Une des activités que j'ai trouvée très intéressante du point de vue culturel et linguistique était l'excursion pour aller voir le film
'La cour de Babel' qui est un documentaire en français sur les classes d'intégration d'élèves nouvellement arrivés en France.
Beaucoup d'élèves ont répondu présents et le film a été très apprécié.
Le multiculturalisme de l'école est une force pour les étudiants. Ils sont ouverts d'esprit et semblent impliqués dans leur travail.
Les différentes cultures se mêlent harmonieusement pour apprendre les unes des autres. C'est cette diversité qui fait de Telopea
une communauté à part entière où les professeurs apprennent chaque jour sur leur pratique et leurs étudiants.

2015 France Exchange for Year 10 students
Telopea Park School is in the initial planning stages for its 2014-2015 Exchange Programme with the Lycée International de
Grenoble Europole.
This programme offers a wonderful opportunity for students to experience first-hand what they have
learned at school.
The Lycée International de Grenoble is a public school with six International sections: German, English, Arabic, Spanish, Italian
and Portuguese.
The proposed dates for the visit of French students to Australia are from Saturday 20th / Sunday 21st June to Sunday 1st August
2015.
Hosting the French students is an expectation and a requirement.
Students will be with their billets and host families for four weeks, at school for two weeks and on holidays for two weeks. The
final week will be in Paris. The activities include an evening at the Opera and a dinner cruise, not to mention visiting the Eiffel
Tower, the Sacré Coeur, the Louvre and Versailles.
Applications for current 2014 YEAR 9 students (mainstream and French studies) are still open.
Contact the Languages Faculty.

Grenoble Exchange 2014 Report
I really enjoyed the exchange. I feel like my French skills have improved and have expanded my knowledge of French
culture.
I really loved the first week which we spent in Paris. I was amazing to see monuments and artwork which I had only
ever seen in pictures prior to the trip in the flesh. I really loved the itinerary. It was great going to tourist attractions like
Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower and visiting museums such as the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay which house some of the
most renowned and celebrated artworks in the world.
I really enjoyed the freedom we were given whilst in Paris, (I was able to shop and explore the museums at my own
pace).
I really enjoyed the two weeks of school. It was fascinating to see how another school and education system function.
The two weeks at school greatly improved my French and enabled me to make new friends and acquaintances.
I really enjoyed staying with my family, they were lovely. I am also very grateful for them taking me to other parts of
France during the holidays.

Here at Telopea we dedicated ourselves to a great cause
Telopea Interact Club 2014 is a very promising group of students eager to be engaged in a variety of
projects that support the local community as well as international organisations projects.
On Friday 22nd of August, The school was involved in Daffodil Day (also known as yellow day) to help
the Cancer Council to take another step closer to the defeat of cancer.
Telopea Interact Club members took on the challenge. Well intentioned, inclusive (all year groups
were involved), they cooked fresh cupcakes, and other yellow sweets. Telopea’s lemonade made with
freshly squeezed lemons was a succes on this sunny Friday.
The only downside was… we sold out before the end of lunch. The club also ran a raffle and three lucky and happy students won
the impressive prizes given by our generous local sponsors (1st Prize: over $100 value from ‘The Essential Ingredient’ Kingston,
2nd prize donated by Carole Sotgiu, 3rd prize donated by ‘Capital Chemist’ Kingston).
A great day and we raised $1,154.45 for the Cancer Council.

Visite des Élèves de CM1 de Nouméa
Notre école a eu le plaisir d'accueillir 19 élèves de l'école Frédéric Surleau de Nouméa avec leurs enseignants. Les élèves et leurs
professeurs ont été accueillis lors d'une Assemblée spéciale le jeudi 4 septembre 2014. Un grand merci aux familles qui ont reçu
ces élèves.
Page 13 of 20
Le mercredi 10 septembre 2014, nos élèves de CM1 s'envoleront pour Nouméa accompagnés de Julien Dugas, Anthony Duncan
et Olivia Ranaivoharison. Nos élèves séjourneront dans des familles. Durant leur séjour, ils visiteront plusieurs sites culturels et
auront l'occasion de faire progresser leur français.
Cet échange culturel est un élément important de notre programme harmonisé et nous remercions tous les enseignants et
parents impliqués dans ce programme.
Le programme des CM1 à Canberra
Pour les élèves qui ne se rendent pas à Nouméa, un programme d'activités à Canberra commencera dans les deux prochaines
semaines. Les élèves se verront proposer des sorties à Questacon, au National Museum of Australia, au National Film and Sound
Archive, à la National Gallery of Australia, aux Jardins Botaniques, à l'Institut Australien du Sport (AIS) et à la Verrerie de
Kingston. Il y aura également des activités bilingues organisées à l'école. Ce programme permettra à nos élèves de visiter de
nombreux lieux intéressants de Canberra et de ses environs.
Journée Portes Ouvertes aux apprentissages -25 septembre 2014
L'école organise ses Portes Ouvertes aux apprentissages, comme elle le fait chaque année, le jeudi 25 septembre 2014 de 11h30
à 12h30 dans la classe de votre enfant. Ce parcours est un outil éducatif formidable qui permet à nos élèves de réfléchir sur leur
apprentissage et de montrer leurs travaux à leurs parents. Il fait également partie intégrante des processus d'évaluation de
l'école. Il est toujours merveilleux de voir le travail réalisé pendant l'année. Nous sommes très fiers des réalisations de tous nos
élèves.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON CHILD CARE REFORM
The Australian Government has asked the Productivity Commission to undertake a public inquiry into future options for childcare
and early childhood learning, with a focus on developing a system that supports workforce participation and addresses children's
learning and development needs.
As new analysis shows the ACT had the largest increase in enrolments in the nation, ACT residents are encouraged to have their
say about making child care more affordable, flexible and accessible. You can comment on the Productivity Commission's Inquiry
into Child Care and Early Childhood Learning with a formal submission or a brief online comment before September 5:
