School Closure
From the Principal
At the start of term three we were delighted to welcome several new students from neighbouring
schools, interstate and from overseas to our school community.
We are conident they will ind their time at Seaview inspiring and rewarding and look
forward to working with them and their families. We also welcomed two new teachers;
Will Juniper joins the Humanities Faculty and Sam Mosley is teaching Health, PE and Science.
We also welcomed back Carol Ludlow, in the role of Humanities Coordinator, and Andrew
Cavallaro and Ryota Kikuchi who will continue with us until the end of the year.
Early this term Beth Ahlin, our CPSW (Chaplain) completed her irst year review and we are delighted she will
be remaining with us at Seaview for the next two years.
During the term break a lot of energy and time was invested in upgrading our surroundings, including the
Resource Centre (photos are included in this Newsletter). This week a new distribution desk will also be installed.
Its amazing what an injection of colour and soft furniture can do to revive a space. The student response
to this upgrade is self evident, the space has become a popular, vibrant hub of the school.
In addition to this work, though perhaps less exciting, more windows have been tinted, new signage installed
and additional landscaping and tree planting occurred. Outdoor seating has also been installed and bins
relocated in response to student feedback. Our aim is to continue developing our facilities and their surrounds
so they become attractive, welcoming, creative spaces that are used by and engage all learners.
Once again there have been numerous highlights this term including the Achievement Assembly, which saw a
remarkable number of students acknowledged for their efforts in Semester one, Year Level Assemblies where
outstanding attendance at school was acknowledged, a Year 11 Road Awareness Program, Year 10 Activity Day,
Year 11 visit to Flinders Uni Open Day and regular Student Voice Meetings. Year 8 and 9 students are also
looking forward to their forthcoming activity days . Each of these days has had a focus on further developing
positive and respectful relationships and promoting collaboration and team building skills.
On Friday 17 August we will say farewell to our visitors, twenty students and their teacher and agent from
Koshikawa School, in Japan. I would like to thank everyone involved for making this visit once again an outstanding
success; our Home Stay families, Ms Julianne Chambers, our staff and students, in particular the
“buddies”. I am conident that all involved have learned much from this experience.
It is that time of the year when we begin planning for the following year and the irst stages of subject
counselling begins on Friday 17 August during Pastoral Care sessions for all continuing students. The
process for different Year Levels is outlined elsewhere in this Newsletter. Face to face Counselling appointments
will occur on Wednesday 5 September and Thursday 6 September for students in Years 10 and 11 only.
School Closure and Student Free Day
Friday 7 September is a school closure day. Monday 10 September will be a Student Free Day and staff will
continue their work developing the AUSTRALIAN Curriculum ready for implementation in 2013.
Both these days fall within Show Week and provide students with an opportunity to attend the Royal Show.

A REMINDER regarding Messages:
Unfortunately the school Reception Ofice does not have the staff
available to deliver general messages to students throughout the day.
In the case of an EMERGENCY we will ensure a message is delivered.

Promoting positive and respectful relationships for safer
school communities
It is an unfortunate fact that bullying is a reality that exists within all schools. In Australia it has been estimated that at least 1 in 6 students are
subjected to some form of bullying each week. Bullying has the potential to damage the physical and emotional health of those involved in it and
impact on all aspects of life; self-esteem, relationships, participation and productivity.
Studies reveal that students who are victims of harassment and bullying have higher levels of stress, depression and illness; however, those
responsible can also be affected, with school bullying identiied as a risk factor associated with the potential for antisocial and criminal behaviour.
At Seaview we are committed to ensuring all members of our school community are able to work and learn in a safe environment, which is free
from bullying. The school has clear procedures for dealing with all instances of harassment and bullying and a zero tolerance for violence.
These processes are linked to our Behaviour Management Policy and outlined in the school diary and website.
It is important for students to understand their responsibilities when they become involved, willingly or otherwise, in any form of aggression
including the kind that happens in groups.
In these circumstances each member of the group, including those who may not appear to be directly involved in the incident, needs to understand
that bystanders can have a powerful inluence on the outcome of bullying - they can either contribute to the problem or the solution.
The following extract is from EYES ON BULLYING - What can YOU do: http://www.eyesonbullying.org/bystander.html
Hurtful Bystanders
Some bystanders instigate the bullying by prodding the bully to begin
Other bystanders encourage the bullying by laughing, cheering, or making comments
And other bystanders join in the bullying once it has begun
Too often bystanders accept bullying by watching and doing nothing.
By doing nothing students are condoning it and giving permission for it to continue In the case of inciting violence students at Seaview can
expect to receive a consequence for being complicit in the violence and for not taking appropriate action to help keep our school safe.
Helpful Bystanders
Bystanders also have the power to play a key role in preventing or stopping bullying
Some bystanders directly intervene, by discouraging the bully, defending the victim, or redirecting the situation away from bullying
Other bystanders get help by reporting the bullying to adults.
At Seaview we expect all students to report bullying and to get help immediately they become aware of any potential for violence to occur.
Cyber bullying is a particular concern in our technology dominated world. The 24/7 access to Social Networking sites, online chat, mobile phones,
blogging, emails and text messages means it often takes place outside of school hours.
The anonymous nature of this mode of communication means that some students believe their online behaviour is untraceable.
This is not the case. There are criminal consequences for cyber bullying with some online offences carrying penalties of up to $100,000 and imprisonment
for up to 15 years.
Please Note: Since 2009 PRINCIPALS have been able to suspend or exclude students who engage in harassment or bullying even if it occurs
outside of school—see the extract below.
I thank you for your ongoing support managing this issue.

The Gold Rush
We recently came together as a whole school community at the Presentation Assembly to acknowledge and celebrate our successes over
Semester One. Our Principal, Ms Tranter, talked with us about The Olympics with a focus on challenge, achievement and success.
During this assembly about seventy students were presented with Certiicates of Outstanding Effort. Each of these young people have
demonstrated an outstanding commitment to their learning program over the whole of Semester One. Following a musical rendition of
‘Deep’ by our Year 10 Ensemble well over thirty students were presented with Certiicates of Academic Excellence by their Principal.
Many students have made a clear statement about themselves, their learning and their successes. The drive to achieve highly is solidly
embedded into our students as they attend, engage and perform on a daily basis. They work with their teachers, their families and their peers
with a real sense of purpose. The future looks good. The future is good.
These are our students who over two terms shone brightly. Each of these students have reaped gold.

Course Counselling 2012—2013
It is that time of year when students are preparing to make their subject selections for next year. During Care Group over the next three weeks
students will participate in a number of sessions that will provide them with information about a range of post-school pathways. It is critical
that students use this information and time to determine their preferences and to plan what they need to do in order to help them to achieve
their goals.
Each student will receive a Curriculum Hand Book and a subject selection form. During the Care Group sessions, students, in consultation with
subject teachers, Care Group teacher and parents/caregivers, will select a course of study for 2013. It is highly recommended that students
speak to as many people as possible in order to determine the requirements of each post school
option.
Procedures for Current Year 8 and 9 Students
All Year 8 and 9 students will return their completed, signed subject selection forms to their Care Group teacher by Friday 31 August 2012.
Procedures for Current Year 10 and 11 Students
All Year 10 and 11 students, accompanied by a parent/caregiver, will attend an interview with a Course Counsellor.
Completed subject selection forms and any other relevant documentation will need to be brought to the interview.
Interviews will be conducted during the following times:-
Wednesday 5 September: 3:15 pm – 8:15pm
Thursday 6 September 8:00am – 5:00pm
Appointments will be made on the school’s website – students will be advised when bookings open.
Current Year 10 and 11 students are not required to attend school on Thursday 6 September except for their scheduled appointment.
We encourage students to use this day for private study and to complete assignments or review work.
Lessons will be conducted as usual for students in Years 8, 9 and 12.
Year 12 students who are considering returning to school in 2013 will need to complete a subject selection form, which they can collect from
Ms Houghagen.
Please Note: Friday 7 September is a School Closure Day and Monday 10 September is a Student Free Day.
Uniform
The Seaview High School Uniform, developed in consultation with parent, staff and student representatives includes a range of options,
which are available from the Uniform Shop, open each Tuesday and Thursday between 8-8.30am.
The School Uniform includes wearing solid ALL BLACK leather, or equivalent, shoes that provide adequate support and protection. It
does not include canvas or fabric shoes (volleys), ballet-style shoes, shoes with coloured markings or coloured or white laces.
All students are expected to wear the correct uniform at all times, including on their way to and from school.
Students who are unable to be in complete uniform for any reason, on any given day are expected to report to Student Services where an
appropriate change will be arranged.
Students who are not in Uniform WILL BE DEALT WITH THROUGH THE BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT PROCESS.
We thank you for your support with this.
Penny Tranter - Principal

Resource Centre Upgrade
The refurbishment of the Resource Centre is well underway. Painting in new brighter colours was completed in the holidays and shelving has been
moved to create a more open feel. Most of the new furniture has arrived and is in place. Students have commented favourable on the new layout,
particularly the relaxed feel of the new couches and ottomans. We are also looking at replacing the circulation desk and putting up new pinup
boards.
We have over 18000 books in our collection and together with a strong laptop program and e-books we still see a place for both hard copy and
digital books. Our iction section is particularly popular, with many students borrowing or enjoying the space to read a book.
Paul Lendrum – Coordinator, Digital Technologies
Road Awareness Program
A Road Awareness Program was delivered by ire oficer Rod ‘Rocket’
Campbell and motorbike accident survivor Jason ‘Ossie’ Austin to our
Year 11 students.
The 90 minute session proved to be thought provoking, positive and,
at times, humbling for our audience members. It delivered real and re
-created accident scenarios, their cause and effect on drivers, passengers,
family and friends, emergency services teams and hospital and
rehabilitation staff. The program was informative, balanced and confronting
and helped students gain an insight into making better choices
as young drivers and passengers alike.
Jason’s open and very personal account of his choices was a simple,
powerful message for all present and clearly demonstrated the life
long impact a poor choice made on his life and the people around him.
Seaview High thanks the Metropolitan Fire Service for presenting this
valuable public service program to all students in the hope they will
remain safe on our roads.
Trent Wickers –Arts Coordinator

Year 12 Flinders University Visit
In place of scheduled lessons on Wednesday 27 June, all Year 12s attended Flinders University as part of
their Pastoral Care Program. The aim of the day was to give an insight into how a University operates and
how their pathways and processes are used to access courses. It was also an opportunity for students to
relect and refocus on the challenges that will confront them for the remainder of this year and into 2013.
The day was divided into sessions that included:
TAFE and University Pathways 2013
An Amazing Race (orientation ‘race’ around University facilities)
Relaxation Strategies (facilitated by the Psychology Department)
Panel of Current University students outlining personal stories about their pathways into university and
their experiences since.
Key note speaker – Katrina Hartman a former Seaview High School student who is in her inal year of law/
behavioural science.
From feedback collected from the Year 12 students the day was seen as relevant and successful with 98%
indicating that the program was “informative, interesting and worthwhile”. They also indicated that the sessions
facilitated by the panel of current University students and the presentation by Katrina Harman were of
the most beneit. It was satisfying also to read comments made on the evaluation form such as:
“Insightful”
“Gained a better understanding of pathways”
“Good fun”
“Great experience”
“This has changed my mind about University, which I now want to attend”…
The school would like to thank Jarrod Bensen, Team leader of the Flinders University Admissions/Prospective Students ofice who organised the
day on behalf of the school and gained funding for the provision of a free Subway lunch for all Seaview students.
Our thanks also go to the University students who participated in the student panel and to Katrina Hartman for her presentation.

Petition
The Opposition is concerned about the prevalence of regular binge drinking by children as young as twelve or thirteen in our community, often
without their parents’ knowledge. We don’t believe it is appropriate for adults to give alcohol to minors without parental consent, but South Australian
law currently permits such supply so long as it occur on private premises.
Mr John Gardney MP, Member for Morialta
If you are interested in supporting proposed legislation banning the provision of alcohol by an adult to a minor, without the consent of that minor’s parent or
guardian you are invited to sign a petition at Reception during ofice hours.

VI News
The Year 12 vision impaired students have been trialling talking GPS devices under the

French Class
Seaview’s French students have noticed that there
has been a lot of French news lately. France’s
National Day, Bastille Day, was celebrated on the
14th July. More recently the Tour de France
cycling race was held in the magniicent French
countryside. Australia’s Cadel Evans, who won the
gruelling race in 2011, inished seventh this year
and will next try to win a medal at the Olympics in
London.
Speaking of the Olympics, if you listen carefully,
you will hear a lot of French being spoken. That is
because French is the oficial language of the
Olympic Games and all the announcements and
results are spoken in French and English. Our
French students will be following the fortunes of
France and other French-speaking countries over
the course of the Games.

Advice for Year 12 Students
From the SACE Board Website and school
General advice
What seems overwhelming at irst is manageable if you look at it calmly and decide early how to tackle it. Divide your subject study and revision
into small portions, rather than looking at it as one huge lump. Approach it eficiently and systematically and you'll feel that you can handle it,
one piece at a time. Limit outside work commitments and social activities so that you have time to complete school work.
Make a timetable and keep to it
Draw up a timetable for the next few weeks. Then for each day concentrate on the speciic portions of your work that you have listed. Spread
your tasks out so that your revision is varied, mixing areas that you feel you are good at and already know pretty well, with parts of the work
that you have always found hard and are worried about. Set yourself attainable weekly goals. Try to stick to this schedule. You will feel that you
are getting somewhere and can expect that each week will bring you closer to the goals you want to achieve.
Don't put it off!
If something unforeseen happens and you don't achieve the whole week's work, reschedule it and get back on track as soon as possible. Of
course, if you don't achieve what you meant to in one week, you will need to rework your revision timetable - but it is very important not to
procrastinate. You want to feel in control of your revision, not be faced with lots to do in not much time.
What works best for you?
Work out the best way to revise and complete your work. If you are revising for an exam, then writing a summary of a particular section of your
work may help you. Setting out the summary in dot-point form is a good idea, making it easy to review later. You may ind that saying these main
points aloud, to a friend or family member locks them into your memory.
Set and answer questions
When you have summarised a section of your work, ask yourself some questions about it. If you ind this hard to do, the past examination papers
on the SACE website can help you. These can be found under each relevant subject in the Subjects area.
These papers may ask you to solve problems or give essay-type answers. For subjects that have numerical problems, try to work with a friend
and check your answers against theirs. For essay questions, outline in note form how you would prepare a written answer and how you would
construct the essay.
See what past examiners have said
Assessment Reports from previous years are another important source of information. They give an overall picture of performance in previous
years exams and detail aspects of the exams where students have performed strongly, and not so strongly. You may ind this helpful for your
exam preparation.
Assessment Reports can be found on the relevant Subject pages. Once on the subject page, click on the Assessment and Reporting link and scroll
to the bottom of the page. The iles are in the Documents folder, under Assessment Reports and Examinations.
Find out about exam conditions
Copies of the front pages of the exam paper are sent to schools a few
weeks before the exams. Have a look at the relevant ones. This will
prepare you for that moment when you have the paper before you in the
exam room. You'll know what it looks like, how long you have, how
many
questions you will be required to answer, perhaps how many marks are
allocated to each question, and any other important information about
exam conditions, such as whether you are allowed to use a dictionary or
a calculator.
Think positively
If you have followed these tips, kept up with your revision schedule,
allowed enough time for your studies, and kept your mind focused on
your immediate purpose, you should feel your conidence building. This is important. Tell yourself that you can do it, you can succeed. There may
have been times during the year when you have not done as well as you would have hoped, but that was then. Think of times when you were
successful. Fill your mind with those positive images, be conident, at ease, and do your best.

Managing Stress
From the SACE Board Website and school
Exams and inal assessment tasks are important in the life of a young person, but they're not the only thing. Keeping this perspective will help
you and those around you manage stress in the build-up to exams and assessment deadlines in the coming weeks. Health experts recommend
simple, common-sense approaches to keeping cool under exam pressure.
Here are some useful tips to help you stay cool under pressure:
• develop good study habits, including making, and sticking to, a schedule
• set study priorities
• preserve a good study space (this helps maintain some control over study demands)
• take regular breaks
• eat and sleep well
• you could also get together with other students to study or discuss common exam topics
• keep communicating - let those around you know how you are going and tell them when you need as much quiet as possible
• recognise your own stress signals.
Exam week is a time when awareness of mental and emotional health is very necessary. Do the things that are known to promote good mental
health, recognise when there may be cause for concern about stress, and discuss feelings and concerns with friends and family.
Headroom is an excellent web site for people seeking information about mental health issues and is designed for students and their friends and
families: www.headroom.net.au
The Reach Out! website has lots of tips about studying, stress management and life in general: www.reachout.com.au
Remember that Year 12 is not the be all and end all - it's just one year out of your whole life. Make sure you have a plan B if things don’t turn out
as you had hoped.

Simply Sushi
On June 26, the Year 9 Japanese class went to the Simply Sushi Restaurant at Glenelg for a traditional Japanese lunch. The excursion was
fun and let us “experience” Japan for a while.
The food, from sushi to Japanese noodles, was delicious and we were able to choose our own sushi from the
revolving conveyor belt. We also succeeded eating with chopsticks and drank very sweet Japanese “Marble”
soft drinks.
It was a really fun excursion!

Mr. Foot for organising and running the event. I would also like to thank Mr. Hurrell, Leilani Gonzalez-Figoerea and Chelsea Cooke who helped
out throughout the day.

40 Hour Famine
August 17-19 marks the annual World Vision event 40 Hour Famine and it is my pleasure and joy this year to be leading a small group of
Seaview High Students in this fantastic cause.
World Vision is a not for proit charitable organisation that tackles issues of extreme poverty in developing nations. 40 Hour Famine is an
event aimed at raising awareness and funds to provide aid to people suffering from the global food crisis.
The idea behind 40 Hour famine is for people to give up something they hold dear such as food, electricity, talking or furniture, for (you
guessed it) 40 hours so that they might proactively protest against extreme poverty and experience the feeling of being in need.
I am giving up food and talking.
The focus country this year is Ethiopia. The food crisis in Ethiopia is certainly extreme; 50% of
their children have stunted growth because of malnourishment and children are 20 times more
likely to die before the age of 5 due to limited healthcare. A donation of $40 to World Vision can

Learning with electronic lash cards on mobile devices
Is your child always on his or her mobile phone? Are you sure that he or she is not learning with the mobile phone?
In fact he or she may be learning with their mobile phone.
This might be a good time to check whether he or she is ready to do homework tasks with their mobile phones.
“Quizlet.com” is a website where many useful lash card sets for a variety of subject areas are stored.
It is a great Web 2.0 tool by itself, but what Quizlet.com allows you to do is not only to look at the lash cards on your computer
screen. with the help of mobile Apps, it also allows you to download sets of electronic lash cards on your mobile devices such as
iPod/iPhone/iPad or Android devices. And it can be done for free!
In my Year 8 Japanese class, students have been using these lash cards to learn new vocabulary.
The following instruction are how to get the lash cards onto your computer and then download them to your mobile device.
Quizlet.com Web Page option
1. Go to Quizlet.com
2. Type “rkikuchi” in the search box at the top-right corner and click “Search”
3. Click any of the existing vocabulary set (For example “Mirai1 Part 2 Unit 5 Food”)
You can then start learning with online lash cards.
You can also choose the leaning style from “Speller”, “Learn” or “Test”.
Mobile App option (iPhone, iPod and iPad)
Download an App called “A+ FlashCards Pro” (It says “Pro” but it is an free App).
Start the App
Click on “+” button at the top left corner
Click on “Quizlet” option in the menu appeared
Click on “Find Group”
In the search box, type “Kikuchi” and hit search
Click on the desired group
Click on the desired lash card set to download
Repeat steps 3 to 8 to download more lash card sets
Even if you do not have an Apple product you can still ind a suitable App for your device from a list of recommended Apps on
“Mobile Studying” page that t can be found on the Quizlet.com home page.
There will be more card sets for other subject coming soon. Now is the perfect time to put
