Indigenous Ranger Cadetship Program.<br />
<strong>Vincentia</strong> Vibe - The voice of our <strong>School</strong><br />
Term 4 <strong>Week</strong> <strong>10</strong><br />
<strong>13</strong>th <strong>December</strong>, <strong>2012</strong><br />
The IRCP is a government funded program aimed at retention for Indigenous Students. <strong>Vincentia</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is the only<br />
school in NSW to be offered the opportunity to run this amazing program with the other selected schools being in the<br />
Northern Territory and Outback Queensland.<br />
The program will include field trips around wilderness areas as well as attainment of a Cert 1 in Conservation and Land<br />
Management. Our program kicked off several weeks ago with 20 of our Year 8 and 9 students. Activities so far have<br />
included a tour of the Booderee Botanic Gardens which included a history of the local Aboriginal lands told by community<br />
members from Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community and a Ranger Discovery Day held by NSW National Parks and Wildlife at<br />
Greenfields. The Students have also been working to obtain their First Aid and White Card (CIC) certifications. The<br />
students will<br />
undertake work<br />
placement with many<br />
agencies next year,<br />
on conservation<br />
projects as well as<br />
cultural activities.<br />
This fantastic<br />
opportunity will<br />
continue in 20<strong>13</strong>.<br />

Early Leavers Policy<br />
Sick Students:<br />
If a student becomes sick at school they should inform a teacher (during lesson time) or report to the Administration Office<br />
(during break time). If it is during lesson time the teacher will send the student to the Administration Office with a note.<br />
Staff in the office will enter the student onto the sick room register and ring home if the student requires further attention.<br />
Students are not permitted to ring home on their mobile phones to arrange to be picked up, at any time. This practice is to<br />
ensure the safety of the student at all times.<br />
Leaving Early for an appointment, etc:<br />
If a student needs to leave school early for any reason, they are required to bring a note explaining the reason, neatly written<br />
and signed by a parent or guardian. The note should include an address and the year the student is in. This should be done<br />
before school if possible which will allow the student to be issued with an ‘Early Leavers Pass’ that can then be shown to the<br />
teacher at the relevant time and leave the class with much less fuss.<br />
Please discuss this procedure with your child to ensure that they understand this process and follow the correct procedure<br />
in the future.<br />
