Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) 2014

demandé par l’IBO aux écoles proposant l’IB.
Les enseignants et les élèves contribuent au questionnaire d’autoévaluation. Merci aux parents qui ont déjà participé à ce
questionnaire. Les réponses de la communauté scolaire identifieront les principales réalisations achevées au cours de la période

HIGH SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Career Development Report
As the Telopea Park School Career Development Officer, I have been impressed with the increased number of students coming to
see me about:
- securing a work experience placement (WEX),
- gaining a tax file number
- or seeking information about an Australian School Based Apprenticeship(ASBA).
Despite only working two days per week (Wednesday and Thursday), the number of students undertaking a WEX placement has
doubled from previous years. I am sure this is because more students are beginning to think about employment pathways, they
may select in the future..
A work experience placement is an opportunity to test the realities of working in different professions of their choice.
Since the last Telopea Topics, Jordan Rattenbury has had a four day WEX placement at Motorini Scooters in Phillip, and Tandia
Collins enjoyed five days at Quesatcon within the Public Relations area.
Telopea Park School has a group of students who belong to a community service club called, Interact. This is a joint Rotary Club
(14-18 year olds). Interact is short for international action.
For the past few years the Interact Club of Telopea Park School has been fundraising to build a new school, hall, kitchen and
library on a remote island in Vanuatu. This building was opened in Vanuatu last year. This year Rotary is spending the remaining
money raised by the students, to install 15 computers in the new Vanuatu library. This project has been a remarkable journey
and each student who participated in the project gained numerous employability skills, as they worked to achieve their goal.
These employability skills are: planning and organisation, technology, learning, communication, teamwork, problem solving,
initiative and management.
Last week Rotary invited seven students from Telopea Park School, to attend the 2014 International Rotary Convention in
Sydney. This conference had over 22,000 delegates from over 154 countries. The seven students from Telopea, helped to staff
the Rotary District 9710 Interact booth in the ‘Hall of Friendship’ and while doing this they discussed their project with Rotarians
from around the World. Each delegate at the Rotary Conventions received a book that showcased different Rotary projects within
Australia. The Vanuatu project undertaken by the students from Telopea Park School, was fortunate to be one of the projects,
selected to be published in the book. A copy of the double page article is attached to this newsletter.
Volunteering can be a very rewarding experience and another way of gaining skills that employers are seeking.

TORQUE IN SCIENCE
This semester has seen a few staffing changes in the Science faculty. Since Term 1, Kylie Louis has been Acting Executive
Teacher for Student Services, while Thomas Greig and Nick Rothwell joined the Science team. Sheela Awadhwal is currently
undertaking higher duties in the head office at the start of Term 2, while Thomas Greig is on leave. In their place, we welcome
Kenny Leiba, who has been here previously, and James Handley; both of whom have taken up the challenge of continuing
science classes during mid-semester. More staffing changes are due at the end of the semester when we farewell two of our EFS
teachers, Madame Prevot and Madame Lucas-Fradin, both of whom who are returning to France. They leave behind a faculty
enriched with cross-cultural collegial experiences. We wish them both all the best in their future endeavours.

Excited Particles’ Spectacular, Questacon 2U
At the end of Term 1, the Year 7 students participated in an interactive science show conducted by Questacon, as an introduction

and engaging manner.
Science Competitions
This has been a particularly busy term in Science with all three of our annual competitions been conducted within a few weeks of
