From the Principal’s Desk

It feels like summer has already started. Before we know it Christmas and the holidays will be upon us. There is still a lot of work to be done and everybody is working together to ensure routines are maintained as much as possible and that learning continues. Term 4 is often a time of reflection where we consider how our programs are progressing and whether our priorities are making a difference.

The School Board recently met and went through a number of processes and agenda items. The business plan was endorsed, the community framework considered and finances approved. We also signed off on the Delivery and Performance Agreement which clearly outlines the responsibilities of the principal and the Director General of Education. Our fees and contributions for 2020 were also signed off and will be available December 1st. For the 18th consecutive year we have not increased prices, however activities that cost will be subsidised only for those students who have paid their fees.

A draft mobile phone policy was considered and should be ratified in a few weeks. Further information about the mobile policy can be found in the newsletter. We need the support of our parents/caregivers in implementing the government mobile phone ban.

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge Mrs Turner and Mrs Barbatano for all their efforts as board members over the years. They will be sorely missed and we need others to step forward and take their places.

Work is due to start shortly on our Therapy Centre, located adjacent to Block 10. There will be some disruption to classes and programs – staff affected will keep parents informed. We also received some funds from the state government to spruce up areas that need maintenance. The school will be a hive of activity during the holiday break with tradespeople everywhere going about their work.

We have just completed our recruitment pool for teaching staff for 2020. Staff will be selected from the pool to backfill for staff on leave or possibly take up a permanent vacancy. We will let you know as soon as the appointments are made.

We are very full in year 7 for next year. It has been great to see the year 6 students having a look around their new school for next year. Mrs Cave and Mrs Reid have done a lot of work ensuring the individual transition needs of new students are being met.

I am looking forward to the presentation ceremony this Saturday and I would like to formally wish our departing students all the very best. It is always a pleasure to watch a young person grow and mature during their time with us. I know parents/caregivers will be filled with pride and maybe a little apprehension for what the future holds. Now is the time to ensure you have your NDIS plan ready and contact your DSC LAC if you need other supports. We are also available to assist with any questions – we can’t recommend service providers but we can point you in the right direction.

Congratulations Turoa

During the October holidays, Turoa Ransfield participated in the Special Olympics WA State Games. He brought home an impressive 4 medals for his efforts:

On Tuesday, 5 November, Turoa attended a morning tea hosted by the Police Commissioner, Chris Dawson, who presented him with a Police Commissioner’s Medal to recognise his efforts at the games. It is hoped that by hosting this morning tea, there will be more awareness brought about regarding the Special Olympics and that more people with disabilities will be encouraged to explore their skills and talents in this arena.

Turoa will be representing Western Australia at the Junior National Special Olympics in October 2020 in Tasmania. We look forward to watching his success at these games! Congratulations Turoa.

Hills Soccer Carnival

Students from both campuses took part in the Hills Soccer Carnival at Hartfield Park in Forrestfield. There were a total of 10 schools competing, making up three divisions to cater for all abilities. The event was well organised and the weather was ideal. Our students showed great resilience and sportsmanship throughout the day. Our Division 1 team did a fantastic job in the defence, allowing only one goal over the course of the day.

7MTT

Welcome to term 4, the final term of the year. WOW!! year is just flying by. We have hit the ground running, having all our community access organised last term. Our first outing to Woolworths at Carousel was a huge hit. The students accessed the self checkouts to purchase a few items for the classroom.

We were all really looking forward to our visit to Kent Street Weir on the spooky 31st October. Unfortunately, we had to postpone due to the excessively wet and windy weather. However, we are very excited to be going on Thursday 7th November.

In class we have commenced a new novel from the series, “The Chronicles of Narnia”. It is “Prince Caspian”. We are once again being thrown into a fantasy realm where humans and animals (who can talk) work together to overcome great adversity. Overcoming adversity is a common lesson that we could all benefit from. Dealing with adversity can often mess with ones’ feelings and emotions.

During our PATHS sessions we are focusing on feelings and emotions. We all have them and they are not always comfortable to deal with. We are learning that there are two categories of feelings: comfortable and uncomfortable, or in simpler terms, okay or not okay. However, we now know that ALL feelings are okay to have. We have learnt a great strategy to deal with anger that can also be generalised to other feelings. We know to 1. STOP – calm down, 2. MAKE A PLAN – slow down and think and then 3. GO – try my plan. The visual posters in our room remind us to follow these steps.

We are all very proud that we have completed our ASDAN Stepping Stones modules and our portfolios will be externally assessed later this term. We have put so much work into them and they all look fabulous.

7ST

It is hard to believe that we are already in the last term of year 7. Our students have almost completed their first year of middle school and have matured throughout the year.

Term 4 is going to be a busy one with many excursions and activities planned. The students are very excited about the upcoming SciTech visit and the end of year camp (this will be the first overnight camp for some). The pre-camp visit is going to be helpful for the students who are a little nervous.

We are happy to see the final “Snuffle Mats” leaving the classroom for Market Day. Roughly 200000 knots were tied by the students during enterprise sessions in order to complete all the mats.

8S

In the last week of term 3, as part of our travel training, ASDAN and IGNITE Awards, our class along with 8C visited Elizabeth Quay and Kings Park using public transport. It was a great opportunity for us to practice our travel training skills like using the SmartRider to tag on and off, reading train and bus timetables, waiting at a safe place (behind the yellow lines) at the station, reading and following road signs, etc. We are extremely proud of the mature and responsible behaviour the students exhibited while out in the community.

Travel training

This term kicked off to a busy start with two of our students, Jaxon and Casey, heading off on Thursday of the very first week to participate in the Hills Soccer Carnival. The boys demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship with Jaxon winning a medal for being the most consistent player.

Hills Soccer Carnival

On Tuesday mornings we are working with the therapists from the Independent Living Centre and learning to use ‘Talking Mats’. This is a tool that helps students to communicate effectively about things that matter to them. Students are thoroughly enjoying these sessions as it not only helps them to express their preferences or feelings about a particular topic, but also helps them to think about the topic and add on their own contribution to the mat, making it more meaningful and personal to them.

Talking Mats

On Fridays, during our independent living lessons, we are continuing to learn to prepare simple meals in the classroom using the ingredients available in the pantry. This lesson is interesting as students are using their initiative to come up with ideas and recipes that are simple and easy to follow.

Meal preparation

We are also preparing ourselves for the upcoming camp by participating in camp preparation activities on Wednesday afternoons.

As we are drawing to the end of the year, staff and students in 8S are looking forward to working collaboratively in achieving our IEP goals alongside other activities in the coming weeks.

8W

For this newsletter, each student in our class was asked what they have enjoyed about the term so far, and what they are looking forward to.

Isaac: I have enjoyed hanging out with my friends and completing the woodwork project which is a CO2 racing car and I am looking forward to racing at the end of the year.

Hayley: I have really enjoyed riding the recumbent bike with Mrs Egan for morning fitness. I am keeping track of my distance each day and have set a goal to ride as far as Melbourne. I am looking forward to getting to know Mrs Egan more over this term.

Enjoying morning fitness

Jaydene: I was able to go and pat some baby chickens in the primary school. They were really cute and squishy. I am looking forward to attending the Canning City Council later this term to receive my Ignite Award certificate and pin from the Mayor.

Cute little chickens

Hudson: I have really enjoyed hanging out with my friends from other classes this term – we like to chat and participate in some leisure activities together. I am really looking forward to camp this year because it going to be at a new place and we will get to do lots of new activities.

Hanging out with friends

Henry: I am enjoying our fitness program this term. We get to take our heart rates with the blood pressure cuffs before and after morning fitness and see how exercise increases it. This term I am looking forward to camp because I didn’t get to go last year and it sounds like fun.

Morning fitness on a cold morning

Turoa: I have enjoyed working with Mr Turton on our CO2 race cars. I am looking forward to going to camp and also doing some sidewalk art in weeks 9 and 10 to beautify our school.

Oliver: I have enjoyed doing the CO2 race cars. I have named my car the ‘Elf Shoe’ because we will be racing it towards the end of the term near Christmas. I am looking forward to camp because I am curious about the activities that we will be doing.

Making “The Elf Shoe”

Cole: I have enjoyed having Nathan and Jaxon come into our class for English on Thursday mornings. We have been reading the Serial Story in the West Australian Newspaper which is about a boy who goes hiking on the Bibbulmun Track. I am looking forward to camp this year because it will be fun like last year.

9JJ

Swimming

This term 9JJ is taking part in a six-week water confidence program. It is a wonderful opportunity for our students to prepare for camp and gain confidence in all water based activities. Each week we walk to Cannington Leisureplex and spend an hour in the water developing and strengthening our aquatic skills. This week we had a special guest join us for our water confidence session. Can you guess who it was? He is doing a handstand in the water. If you guessed Mr Smith……………. you may be right!

Guess who?

We have a Ninja in our classroom!

Students feel very safe as we now have a Ninja that can protect us! Taimana is taking classes to increase his fitness and develop his self-confidence and social skills. It has been wonderful to see Taimana so interested and passionate about taking part in these classes. He looks absolutely fantastic in his white uniform.

9RJ

9RJ students have had a great start to Term 4! We are excited to report that we have a new addition to our class (Charlotte!) who was warmly welcomed by all students and staff. We feel super lucky that Charlotte has joined our “fam” and we look forward to getting to know her better!

We have started a unit on solar power, which involves a lot of cross-curricular skills. We are investigating renewable energies and are in the midst of designing our own solar ovens. The brief is that the home-made solar oven must be effective enough to cook an egg and students are busy looking up variations of solar ovens online, including learning about light reflective surfaces and heat absorbing materials. Stay tuned for how this goes. This science project develops skills across a variety of learning areas. For example, researching solar ovens involves a lot of literacy (reading, writing, brainstorming), making and using the oven involves numeracy skills (e.g. marking out our ovens with rulers, measuring temperature with thermometers) and social capabilities in discussing our ideas with friends and teachers, working as a team and sharing resources.

This term we organised a Halloween party! In the lead up to the event, we used literacy and IT skills to research Halloween games, costumes, and activities. We made shopping lists and wrote invitations for students and staff in other classes. We made “to do” lists and crossed things off as we completed tasks. On the day, we put up decorations and prepared our activities (such as BINGO and craft tables). All 9RJ students were fantastic hosts. They showed our guests around the class and offered them food and things to do. Everyone’s costumes were fantastic!

10S

It’s been a busy start to the term for 10S with some of our students attending the Hills Soccer Carnival in week 1.

We are now getting ready to transition to the senior campus next year. We have started with Monday transition activities, including a day at Shelley Beach in week 3.

Angus at Shelley Beach

We made Christmas trees out of old dictionaries and decorated them with spare stock through our BME unit. We sold these at Market Day on Friday, week 3, which gave us an opportunity to work on our money management and customer service skills.

Group 1

Students have been working on their work skills as part of workplace learning. They have spent time learning about SAM: Spot the hazard, Assess the risk and Make the changes.

Some students were fortunate to be given the opportunity to join in an employer’s social event, a Halloween lunch party. A big thank you to the supervisors at the workplace.

Halloween at work

Chey: I was excited. Everyone dressed up. I had chicken and chips for lunch and no sugar coke. I got a prize of lollies. I was surprised and pleased. I like to work there.

Transition at Shelley Beach

Jason: I went to Shelly Beach with the year 10 and senior school students for transition. We went kayaking, scooter riding, walking and bike riding. The weather was just right. After the big activities we played cricket. I am not sure what my favourite part was as I liked all of it.

Group 2

Group 2 students have been working hard across all learning areas by finalising and making sure all the assessment tasks are up to date and near completion. I have been rather impressed with the level of maturity the students have demonstrated throughout the term.

During ASDAN the students have been focusing on Intimate Relationships. The students took part in a group activity where they were required to list the different types of contraceptives used, identify the purpose of the product and list the preventative measures. The students were quite intrigued as they learnt critical information about the opposite gender.

Group 3

We have had a busy start to the term, including excursions, dinners, students completing final assessments and some students reducing their days or leaving for 2019.

We have started transition with the year 10 students coming to our class each Monday for two hours and it was pleasing to see how they followed instructions, gave instructions and fitted in with the class. We also had our first transition outing to Shelley Beach and the students kayaked, rode bikes and scootered. Most students did really well and enjoyed the challenging activities.

The year 12 students are getting ready for the Presentation Ceremony at Crown on 9th November. The students also had their year 12 dinner which was a fantastic night by all accounts and it was so nice to see the students and staff get dressed up and have a fun night together.

This term some of the students attended a soccer carnival and gave their all during the day. Nicholas, Zac, Rebecca and Wade all showed off their soccer skills and were very tired by the end of the day. Wade scored a great goal during one of the games and received a medal for his efforts.

Dwayne Griffin

Group 4

Hello from group 4! Term 4 started with a bang with the year 12s having their graduation practice and celebratory breakfast in week 1. The year 12s were focussed on updating their resumes and completing their portfolios in preparation for leaving school. They then attended their graduation dinner at Brando’s Pizzeria in week 2. It was a great night with all students looking sharp in their ‘smart casual’ attire! We will miss having the year 12s around every day and wish them well in the future!

Enjoying the Graduation Dinner

Meanwhile, the year 11 students have been enjoying becoming mentors/role models for the year 10 students during transition activities on Mondays. In English some year 11s have been creating a website designed to inform the year 10 students about attending school on the senior campus. Other topics the year 11 students have been focussed on include:

• Preparing for market day
• DFES – severe storms
• Life coaching – MAP checklists
• HPO – individual games
• Keys for life – budgeting for a car

Happy students at Shelley Beach

Lastly, we would like to extend our congratulations to Allana Downing for recently gaining employment at Muffin Break!

Pathways

What a busy start of term we have had!

In the first two weeks we had our graduation breakfast, years 12/13 dinner, Hills Soccer Carnival, graduation rehearsals and some students have said their final goodbyes to staff and students at CCESC.

We have been busy preparing for Market Day – making and packaging products to sell and honing our money skills in preparation for selling the products on the day.

We have been involved in the transition process with the year 10 students on Mondays where we have been doing a lot of fun activities. We went on an excursion to Shelley Beach where we kayaked and rode bikes and scooters around the river. That was a big day but a lot of fun!!

With only seven weeks of school left we have been finishing off all of our school work and attending Workplace Learning every week.

We are going to miss everyone at school when we leave – but we will be back to visit!

Art

Term 4 has been a very productive time for middle school students, contributing to two Art projects which were entered into the Canning Show’s Schools Exhibition: International Year of Indigenous Languages Challenge.

As a celebration of Western Australia’s main regional language groups, 7MTT, 7ST, 8S and 9RJ contributed to the creation of a WA Indigenous Languages ‘Tree of Life’ mural. All students created individual flowers and 7MTT worked as a team to create the roots, trunk and branches out of recycled plastic bottle caps. Measuring at 2.4 x 1.8 metres, the mural was hard to miss while on display at the Arts Exhibition Centre at the Show.

In the second project, the students of 7MTT, 7ST, 8S, 8W, 9JJ, 9RJ and 10S incorporated digital design and Key Word Sign to contribute to a digital, visual Noongar to English dictionary. Each student created a design to match their chosen English word, along with a Noongar to English translation page. After creating their digital design, the students demonstrated the Key Word Sign along with the spoken Noongar translation, which was then video recorded and added to their dictionary page. These pages have been collated and saved in video format and it is anticipated that more items will be added each year, as part of annual NAIDOC Week celebrations.

I would like to acknowledge Carrie Millson (AIEO) for sharing her knowledge of Noongar vocabulary and pronunciation. Her contribution to this project has been greatly valued and appreciated. Thank you.

Workplace Learning

Senior School

We would like to start by congratulating all the students who participated in the workplace learning program this year. We are proud of the many achievements our students have accomplished and the commitment they have demonstrated to the program throughout the year. We welcome our year 10 students who are now leaving for their Workplace Learning placements from the senior campus as part of their transition to upper school for next year.

Well done to Hiba Al Rashid who successfully applied for a Taster Course in Beautician. She attends this course at Murdoch TAFE each Thursday for six weeks this term.

Congratulations for outstanding efforts: Rebecca, Allana and Aaron in completing TAFE certificates

Rebecca Percival and Allana Downing have worked hard for the past two years, attending Canning Vale College one day a week and completing Certificate II in Hospitality.

Aaron Salton attended a workplace for 18 months and completed a Certificate III in Hospitality

Hannah Khalil and Pearle Kickett-Littlely are currently participating in Passport 2 Employment presented by EDGE Employment Solutions. The course provides our students with practical skills in preparation for employment after they leave school this year.

Our Appreciation Breakfast was held on November 1. It was great to see employers, job coaches and agencies who provide support for our students attend the morning. A huge thank you goes out to Hugo, Kaleb and Kaleb’s grandfather, Mr Mervyn Kau Kau for providing music at this event. We would also like to thank Stephen and Hiba for greeting the guests as they arrived and directing them to the venue.

Mental Health

This year Mental Health Week ran from 7th-11th October with World Mental Health Day falling on the 10th October. In celebration, senior students involved in various mental health and wellbeing programs ran a fun and interactive lunchtime event outside Demountable 7 on the 25th September. There was a Drumbeat performance and open session for anyone who had the courage to try. There were also some healthy snacks and a variety of activities linked with keeping mentally healthy. Feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive and we hope to plan another similar event for 2020. A big thank you to everyone involved.

The End of School Year

I received a card from one of our year 12 students. The card said “I will never forget what you helping me with…”. That is amazing! That is the reason why we are here to make a difference in the lives of our students.

The end of the school year brings the expected joy at finishing another year and perhaps some sadness at leaving behind a year filled with great experiences, teachers and friends. Consider that this may be a bittersweet time for your child and help him/her celebrate as you ease any anxiety associated with the end of school days.

I would like to suggest to communicate and connect with your child. The daily life and structure of school your child has grown used to is about to end. She/he may be simply overjoyed to enter the free and easy days of holidays, but more likely, she/he is probably experiencing some nervousness about leaving the familiar world of school. Will she/he see their friends over the holidays? Will she/he ever see their teacher again?

• Help your child keep in touch with classmates. Ask her/him which friends she/he likes to keep in contact and gather contact information for them. Before year finish, arrange some time with his/her class mates. If your older child has an email account, encourage them to keep in touch by computer.
• If your child is attached to their teacher, have her/him write an end-of-year thank-you letter or card, or create some other kind of remembrance. Working on the project will help them feel connected to their teacher and they'll appreciate the idea of giving something that will last beyond their attendance in class.

Celebrations and Closure

Don't forget to tell her/him how proud you are! If your child is graduating from high school or middle school, have a special celebration to commemorate the event.

Spend time remembering the year with your child. Consider making a scrapbook of memories or remembering and writing down some of the year's major events and accomplishments.

Finally, remember that however your child does on her/his report card, it is vital to praise and encourage him/her and tell her/him how they have changed over the year. This is time to Celebrate!!

Key Word Sign – using our hands to talk!

At the end of term 3, Cannington Community ESC held its inaugural Key Word Sign Olympics. It was a fun event with the best signers from each class – staff and students, testing their KWS knowledge. The awards fell into three categories: highest achieving class, highest achieving students and highest achieving staff members.

Congratulations to our first place getters, 7MT who achieved a combined score of 78/80. An amazing effort. Runners up in second place were 8W with 70 points and 7ST in third place with 65 points.

Individual student awards go to Mandy Ballard (7MTT) and Jeremy Del Serna (9JJ) who were tied at 20/20 - true gold medal performances! Jaimie Hayes (7MTT) received the silver medal and Dylan Johnson (7MTT) received the bronze.

Congratulations to Mrs Martlew, Mrs Egan, Mrs McCarron and Mrs Reale who all tied with a massive score of 19/20! A tie-breaker is in the works!
