Principal’s Report
Congratulations to…
Amy Constant for receiving the Minister’s Award
for Student Excellence last week in Sydney. Amy
was one of 31 students from across New South
Wales to receive this award, and we are all so
proud of her achievements right across the school,
across many years.
Samantha Pett in Year 8 for her receipt of the NSW
Rowing Novice of the Year for 2013. Samantha
received this prestigious award at Chifley Dam
after a training session a few days ago. Not a bad
achievement for a rower of less than 12 months
experience! I encourage any student contemplating
trying out rowing as a sport to approach the
Central Tablelands Rowing Club, or see Mr Bolus at
the school. You will be well looked after, and the
opportunities are so numerous.
The many Year 11 students who nominated for the
Leadership Team for 2014. The process of
nomination, interview and presentation is
stressful, and all of the students were confident
and well spoken. We are fortunate to have such
talented people stepping up each year. Results
from the Captains elections will be available very
soon.
Mr McFarlane and the Mind Marathon team from
Denison College that blitzed the event in Sydney.
To have a First and a Third in Stage 5 is amazing,
and a credit to all members of both teams from
across the College. The Stage 4 teams were
competitive, but did not gain a place. No doubt
they will perform well next year in this notable
event.
Parents, students, teachers of Year 12, 2013. We
are nearly at the end of a long road littered with
highs and lows. I look forward to seeing you all at
the Farewell Assembly, and then the Graduation
Ball. Keep at the books, and stay working with your
teachers right up until the exams themselves.
Have a safe and happy holiday everyone.
Remember we start Term 4 on the day after the
October long weekend, Tuesday 8 th October.

Mock Trial Competition Round 6
In this round our team was the defence in a case of
animal cruelty brought by the RSPCA. It was
alleged that the defendant had neglected the
welfare of her two horses. The prosecution claimed
that the RSPCA visited the property in February
and warned that if the condition of the horses did
not improve by May then they would be seized.
It was our defence that we followed the advice of
the RSPCA and obtained additional food for the
horses but they still didn’t thrive. After consulting
our own Vet, who ran independent tests, it was
discovered that the water in the dam was
contaminated. Unfortunately these test results
were not available until after the horses were
seized.

For this round (where we were one of the
remaining 32 teams in this State-wide
competition) we travelled to Dubbo to compete
against Coonabarabran High School. Despite very
convincing performances from our barristers,
witnesses, solicitor and court officer, the
magistrate ruled against us in the actual case
finding we were guilty of cruelty to animals saying
that we should have acted sooner to take measures
to improve the welfare of the horses.
Unfortunately we lost the all-important points
section of the trial by the narrowest of margins
251-253 points. This brings to an end our
involvement for this year but the students are to
be congratulated on their outstanding commitment
to this extra-curricular activity and they have all
learnt a lot about the legal process.
The team for this round was Louis Meurant and
Zachery Baker (barristers), Dominic Grabham-
Johnson (solicitor), Ben Geerkens and Lauren
Gottschau (witnesses) and Sam Kennedy was the
court officer. Cassandra Talbot was absent from
this round and missing from the team photo which
was taken inside the Dubbo Family Court on
Wednesday 28 th .
We would like to thank Ms Trish Rooney for
driving some of the students to Dubbo, Mrs Stacey
Jones for accompanying the team and Mr Michael
Schwab for his invaluable advice throughout this
competition.

Mind Marathon Success
On Friday 30 th August Mr McFarlane from Kelso
High and Mrs Bertolin from Bathurst High took
four teams from Denison College to Sydney to
compete in the annual Mind Marathon hosted by
East Hills Boys High School. This is a full day of
academic challenges in competition format that
require not only knowledge but higher order
thinking.
This year the format allowed teams from Stage 4
(Year 7/8) and 5 (Year 9/10) in both girls and
boys. Denison College entered a team in each of
these categories with students combining from
each campus to comprise the teams. Students
representing from Kelso High were:
Stage 4 Boys -
Mark Day
Ben Sennett
Stage 4 Girls -
Madeleine Howle
Jodie Goodwin
Stage 5 Boys -
Daniel Reedy
Giles Lodge
Stage 5 Girls -
Breanna Clarke
Lauren Miles
Joshua McInerney
Emily Sennett
Riley Single
Sarah Hall
All four teams performed brilliantly on the day and
it was pleasing to see the collaboration between
the campuses in forming the Denison College
teams. The Stage 4 girls’ and boys’ teams both
came 8 th in their competition – a very good effort
as they were up against many selective High
Schools. Outstanding success came with our Stage
5 teams. The Stage 5 boys were placed 3 rd ,
receiving a medallion for their efforts. The Stage 5
girls were placed 1 st and received a trophy in
recognition of their success.
Congratulations to all participants for your
outstanding success and efforts on the day and
thanks to Mrs Bertolin from Bathurst High and Mr
McFarlane from Kelso High for their organisation
and time. We won’t mention the flat battery on the
bus caused by Mr McFarlane leaving the lights on!

Talented Year 11 Science Students
Selected For National Youth Science
Forum
Louis Meurant and Melissa J. Wells from Year 11
have been selected to be representatives at
National Youth Science Forums (NYSF) in Canberra
and Perth. These 2 students were selected along
with 432 other students from 1300 applicants
nationwide.
Rotary clubs around Australia work with the NYSF
to select participants to attend each January.
Firstly, Louis and Melissa were successful in their
endeavors to receive endorsement from the local
Rotary club. Next, they completed an online form,
from which they were selected for an interview. In
the interview they were asked questions in
relation to their scientific knowledge, application
to studies and communication skills. Their
responses to these questions made them
successful in their selection as representatives at
these National Youth Science Forums.
Louis and Melissa will have the opportunity to test
drive careers in the fields of science, engineering
and technology for 12 days in January 2014. They
will experience “real” science at a range of
laboratories and workshops. They will also be able
to engage with scientists from universities,
industries and other research organisations, as
well as other science students from across
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. From this
experience Louis and Melissa will be able to make
informed decisions about courses and careers in
science and gain a professional skillset to help
them realise their potential.
iLearn
Kelso High Campus’ program of transition for Year
6 students has been completed for Term 3 and
once again it was an outstanding success. Students
from over 10 feeder schools attended on
Wednesdays during Weeks 5, 6 and 7 and were
treated with excellent activities in Science,
Languages and the circus.
The Science component this time saw the students
completing investigation activities in the schools
wetlands located behind G block. Under the
direction of Mr Warner and his “Waterwatch”
students Year 6 were able to identify creatures
living in the wetlands area and undertake
experiments associated with the pond life.
Sessions in the language department were
undertaken under the direction of Mrs Starr and
the German language was the order of the day.
Students learnt many words and numbers and
were amazed to learn about the origins of the
castle depicted on the Disney movie promotional
screen.

Students were also treated to an extended session
in the circus where they were able to experience
all the equipment currently used by the students of
Cirkus Surreal. The favourites were the tissue and
hoop apparatus, the uni-cycles and the “fast track
trampoline”.
Students were also asked to complete some testing
in English and Mathematics to assist with the
process of creating class groups for Year 7 next
year.
Many thanks to all the teachers who assisted in the
development of this program and to the staff from
our feeder schools for their assistance and support
of our school.

CKC Cup
On Thursday, 15 th August, 120 students from Years
7 to 10 participated in the CKC Cup held at Kelso
High Campus and Learmonth Park. It was very
pleasing to report Kelso took out the win with 55
points to Cowra’s 41 points. This is an excellent
result as we have been defeated by Cowra for the
last 2 years.
On Tuesday, 27 th August, we travelled to Orange to
compete against Canobolas High School. Again we
played extremely well and managed to beat
Canobolas by 52 points to 36.
All students involved should be congratulated on
their behaviour, participation and sportsmanship.
They were all outstanding! It was a fun day had by
teachers and students and we look forward to next
year.
The points were tallied with 3 points for a win, 2
for a draw and 1 for a loss. The final results are as
follows:
• First place Kelso on 106 points
• Second place Cowra on 98 points
• Third place Canobolas on 75 points
Boys’ Soccer – Mr Bolus
Years 7/8 team
Game 1 vs. Cowra resulted in a 4-1 loss to Kelso.
The game was a very close and hard fought
encounter. The score was 4-0 at half-time. KHS
played particularly well in the second half to finish
with much the better of general play. Outstanding
players included, Cole Mutton, Cody Sherman and
Connor Slattery.
Game 2 vs. Canobolas resulted in a 1-1 draw. Kelso
High led for most of the match however, Canobolas
were able to score the equaliser in the final minute
of the game. Overall the team improved
significantly from their efforts in the first game and
are to be congratulated on their fine team effort.
Outstanding players on the day included Josh
McInerney, Jeremy Anderson and Cody Sherman.

Game 1 vs. Cowra resulted in a 1-0 loss to Kelso
High. In a very close game both teams had
numerous opportunities to score. However, it was
in the final minute that Cowra were able to take
the lead. Bailey Webber in goal denied many
scoring attacks by the Cowra team. Other
outstanding players included Jeremy Judge,
Lachlan Thomas and Nathan Doungmanee.
Game 2 vs. Canobolas resulted in a 2-0 victory for
the Kelso High team. Kelso High were far too skilful
and determined for their opposition on this
occasion. Outstanding players included Jeremy

Girls’ Soccer – Mr Warner
Year 7-8
The girls had a good campaign in the CKC Cup. In
our first game against Cowra the team dominated
the game but were unable to score finishing with a
nil all score.
In our second game against Canobolas we again
dominated the game with all the play being in the
opposition’s half. We won the game 3 – nil.
The team was:
Emily Geerkens
Emily Risch
Sarah Risch
Courtney Hayter
Emily Whittaker
Amy Cosgrove
Courtney Barnett
Year 9 – 10
Claire Sheehan
Abby Press
Brooklyn Schumacher
Sarah Morris
Larissa Kilby
Hannah Sutton
Vanessa Muldoon
The girls put up a great effort taking into account
that most of the girls did not play soccer.
In our first game against Cowra we surprised
ourselves by leading 3 – 1 but could not hold off a
fast finishing Cowra, going down 4 – 3.
In the game against Canobolas the game was very
tight, we had many chances. It took till the last
minute for us to score the winning goal giving us a
1 nil result.
The team was:
Brooke Inwood
Rebecca Bennett
Sarah Moore
Olivia Sheehan
Tamara Thompson
Volleyball – Mr Sheader

In the first day of the CKC cup, Cowra travelled to
us, bringing an enthusiastic group of students who
were ready to take us on in both the juniors and
9/10’s. We played inside in the gym which made
for a great atmosphere.
Whilst their team may have lacked the overall skill
level they made up for it with their high levels of
energy and enthusiasm. However, all our teams
easily defeated the Cowra side, not dropping a set
or many points at all. These teams have put a lot of
effort into their volleyball over many years and
this allowed our teams to minimise their mistakes
and play consistent volleyball.
When we travelled to Canobolas we were treated
to outstanding facilities, playing in the PCYC Gym.
On this occasion only our 9/10 teams played. They
were once again too strong for the Canobolas team
and we came away with two easy wins. I was very
impressed with the team’s modest and friendly
attitude towards the opposition, helping them out
with some basic skills before and after the game. It
was great to see both teams having so much fun
whilst maintaining a competitive nature to the
game.

Thanks to Madison Tattersall and Hayley McLeay
for umpiring the game.

Debating against two unfamiliar schools with
unfamiliar teammates was a challenge for the
students involved in the debating. Nonetheless, the
teams worked together with ease and developed
strong arguments providing close scores at the end
of the day. Kelso High debated well, especially in
the 9/10 debate when students from younger
grades were debating against other schools and
came out with a win. All students involved were a
credit to the school and were humble and gracious
in loss.
Students involved in the Cowra visit debate were:

Basketball – Mrs McFarland
The basketball results for the 2013 CKC cup were
more than impressive. Over the last few years, the
students here at Kelso High have shown a keen
interest in basketball and our results in the cup
have been the best since the cup has started.
When Cowra visited Kelso, the students all showed
their passion for the sport. The 7/8 boys, 9/10
boys and 9/10 girls all won their games
convincingly. The 7/8 girls were up against a side
twice their size. Despite this intimidation, the girls
put up a great effort and in the end only lost by 2
points.
Upon visiting Canobolas, we watched as a member
of the 9/10 Canobolas boys side could slam dunk
the ball. Unfortunately both boys teams lost, but
the two girls teams dominated their games.
I would like to congratulate all participants who
represented Kelso High in basketball at the CKC
cup. Your sportsmanship and enthusiasm for the
game was contagious and I thoroughly enjoyed
watching each and every one of you participate in
the cup and look forward to sharing the experience
again with you in following years.

learning new game rules. Outstanding players on
the day included Mark Day and Lachlan Borg.

a number of our players to other sports and new
students had to step in on the day.

Kelso dominated in the touch football against
Cowra, winning all four games. Our Year 7 and 8
junior boys were the first to take the field. They
had a hard fought game and ended up winning 5 –
4. Cody Sherman and Michael Latu were standout
performers in this game.
Our second team to hit the field were our Year 9
and 10 senior boys. This side has been playing
together for some years now and proved to be too
strong for Cowra High. The boys ended up winning
10-1 in an outstanding game. They showed a lot of
skill and pace. Bailey Waldron and Jordan Naylor
both played particularly well.
Next up were the Year 9 and 10 girls. We were
lacking in numbers in this game and had to get
some of our junior girls to play up. Our juniors did
a great job to help out the seniors and were
victorious in this match. The final score was 5 -1.
Kelly Baker was a dominate performer in this
match.
The last game of the day was our junior girls. The
girls were a little nervous before this game, with
many of them never playing touch before.
However, their natural skill and pace was too much
for Cowra and they won 4-1. Sarah Morris and
Larissa Kilby were two of our best in this game.
Overall, a fantastic day was had by all. All students
played to their best ability and showed great
sportsmanship throughout the day. A big thanks
must go to Kenny Turner who refereed most of the
games. Well done!
Kelso vs. Canobolas
Our Year 9 and 10 boys were again the first team
to take to the field. Again they proved to be too
strong winning 12-1. They are a great side, with a
lot of skill and pace. Well done on another
outstanding performance. Bailey Waldron scored 4
tries in this game.
The junior boys were up next. Unfortunately, we
went down in this game quiet convincingly.
Canobolas were a lot bigger than we were and just
had too much speed. The Kelso boys never gave up
and tried their best until the end of the game.
Next to take to the field were the Year 9 and 10
girls. We knew that this match would be a close
one, especially without one of our star players –
Kelly Baker, who was out injured. Canobolas were
the first to score and held a one nil lead for the
majority of the match. Kelso never gave up and
were able to score in the last few minutes to draw
the match. Ebony Hotham and Minna Annand both
played well in this game.
The last game of the day was the junior girls. This
was also a very close game that could have gone
either way. It was 1- all for a very long time but
Kelso were again able to score in the dying minutes
to steal a 2 – 1 victory. Sarah Morris and Vahnya
Moore both had great games.
