Lock Down:
                                                                      Senior Campus News
                    News of a seven day lock down caught us by surprise yesterday. Students seemed to take this in their stride and
                    busily prepared belongings for the next week of schooling from home. Any student who finds that they need an
                    item to assist them with their learning, are welcome to pop into the school to collect it. All students will join a class
                    Webex meeting each morning to mark the roll. Students who miss this meeting, but are completing their school
                    work will be required to email their Year Level Coordinator prior to 1pm each day to be marked present.
                     HSSSD Cross Country:
                     Senior Campus students performed very well at the HSSSD Cross Country. Eve Britton and Ebony Pearce took out
                     their age championship and our team placed second. It is many years since we have taken out a second placing in
one of the three major interschool events so the pride and excitement around the campus was palpable. Congratulations must go to all
students on their efforts. Thirty students have made it through to the regional event which was to be held in Warrnambool at Deakin
University on Monday, but will now be rescheduled to another day.
Studio Art:
VCE Studio Art students have been very fortunate to hear about what it takes to produce a folio worthy of being in the Top Arts Award.
Ms Mann organised a student who achieved this status to visit and showcase her folio. She discussed aspects of her folio and subsequent
work. This experience has helped provide the students with increased motivation and direction.
Year 12 Dress Up Day:
Year 12 students enjoyed dressing up and having a shared lunch to break up the term. Students dressed to the mix-up theme, wearing
odd socks and shoes and a variety of clashing colours. They enjoyed a pizza lunch with coordinators, Mrs Maskell and Mr Van.
State School Golf – Junior Boys Final:
Tom Baker has qualified to play off in the State Golf Final for junior boys following on from his success at regional level. The game
was scheduled for today at Gardner’s Run Golf Club, Lilydale. We wish Tom every success when this event is rescheduled.
VCAL Sausage Sizzle:
VCAL students conducted a very successful barbeque last week to raise money for the Red Shield Appeal. The smell of barbequed
sausages and onions wafting down the corridor proved to be very enticing. Well done to these students on their management skills in
effectively catering for the masses. The students are also collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the Salvation Army.
Literature Excursion:
I had the pleasure of accompanying the Year 12 Literature students on an excursion to Peterborough last Thursday afternoon. Sunny
skies greeted us as students channelled their creative energies into trying to emulate the writing style of their current text and author
Tim Winton on the imaginative landscape.
Year 12 Indonesian Excursion:
Year 12 students enjoyed catching up face-to-face with their classmate from Heywood Secondary College on Friday in Warrnambool.
This student joins in classes virtually and appreciated the efforts of students and Mrs French to enable her to have this contact.
ADVANCE Guest Speakers:
Year 9 Advance students hosted alumni Kellie Kempton and David Mills during their regular session this week. Both long term
volunteers, they spoke about their experiences and coveyed:
    • how it can lead to future job opportunities;
    • the personal satisfaction that you get from volunteering;
    • benefits to the community;
    • importance of sharing the load.
Students are in the process of organising community projects as part of this program.
Food Technology Excursion:
To build their understanding of the Food in Australia outcome, Year 11 Food Technology students participated in a series of workshops
in and around Warrnambool this week. The students visited the Worngundidj nursery in Warrnambool and learned about seed collection
and propogation of native bush foods. From there they travelled to the Koroit Rail Trail where garden beds have been developed so
users of the trail can consume bush foods along the way. The students were to assist in planting out a new garden bed but unfortunately
the weather did not allow for the this. The students completed their experience at Tower Hill where they walked around the boardwalk,
sampling bush tucker and learning how to find koalas by the smell of their urine!
GAT and Year 11 Exams:
Students studying a Year 12 subject must sit the GAT (General Achievement Test) which will be held in the AG Daws Hall on
Wednesday 9th June from 10am – 1.15pm. An information session on how to approach the GAT will be held prior to the date. Students
will pick up the tricks on answering the multiple choice questions and gain an insight into how to respond to the extended pieces.
Year 11 exams are scheduled for Monday 7th, Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 10th June. Students have received a copy of their timetable.
Senior Netball:
Year 9/10 students had an enjoyable day out at the senior interschool netball on Wednesday. Coached by Sports Captain, Holly Swayn,
the team won two games. Congratulations to all students involved on displaying excellent sportsmanship and encouraging each other.

                                                        Our Vision:
 Camperdown College will be a high performing school that produces graduates well equipped to succeed beyond school and contribute
                                                   actively to the community.

Year 7 Information Evening:
The corridors were abuzz with excitement and pride as we welcomed prospective students and their families to our Year 7 Information
Evening. Visitors enjoyed the range of activities that they were able to participate in throughout the evening that were capably led by
current Year 7 students and a few extra Year 8 helpers. New parents who wear the double hats of also being past students were amazed
at the transformation of the campus. A numbers of attendees were at an all-time high, with many attendees from outside our school
community. Our students were fantastic ambassadors for the school and really shone on the night. Thanks to all students who helped
out on the evening, especially those in Year 12 who already have two nights out a week at present for deb training.

                     Education Week Celebrations:
                                                                     Junior Campus News
                     We have had a week filled with much excitement and pride with Education Week in full swing at the Junior
                     Campus. Orientated on the theme Building Connections, students grew links with various community groups and
                     individuals building their understandings in an array of fields. Guest speakers from the mining industry and health
                     services, environmental groups exposing students to bug and bird house building, and art activities including Jenga
                     decorating were experiences students participated in throughout the week. Our Junior Campus Open Morning saw
                     many families embrace the opportunity to visit classrooms, observe work and collaborate on learning activities
                     with their family members. Having special visitors through the doors and corridors in significant numbers was a
                     wonderful sight that had been absent for quite some time. Similar positivity and pride were also displayed when
                     our Prep classrooms were opened on Wednesday for prospective kinder students and families. Miss Edwards and
Miss Smith embraced the attention and engagement of our kinder visitors through an Educational Week activity, with the evidence hung
proudly on our front fence for all of our community to see. Celebrating such a week is only possible with the support and effort from
staff and I thank everyone at the Junior Campus for the week we have had. A special mention to Miss Edwards, Miss Smith and Mrs
Murphy for their efforts in particular.
Walk to School Safely Day:
On Friday 14th May, students participated in Walk Safely to School
Day. This day aims to promote the importance of regular physical
exercise as well as holding an adult’s hand when crossing the road if
under the age of 10. Students, and some parents, then enjoyed a light
breakfast in the BER as part of our weekly breakfast program on a
Friday.
Division Cross Country Championships:
On Monday, 24th May, six students represented Camperdown College
at the Division Cross Country Championships in Warrnambool. Held at Deakin University, these students competed against other
talented long distance runners from a variety of schools after qualifying for this level of competition due to their excellent efforts at the
District Cross Country Championships in Noorat. Noah Boyd, Nate Castle, Quinn Clark, Philippa Kempton, Abey MacLachlan and
Charlie Unwin ran successfully with almost all finishing within the top 20 for their age division. Nate Castle finished 11th overall
qualifying him for the next level of competition, Regional Cross Country, which has been postponed due to the circuit breaker lockdown
next week. Congratulations on your efforts Nate.
Prep 2022 Enrolments:
This week saw our kinder to prep transition program begin with an open morning made available for kinder families to attend
showcasing our engaging prep program. With the transition program in full swing, enrolments for Prep 2022 are now open. Individual
tours are still available for interested families which will complement the extensive transition program planned for this year; capably
run by our two Prep teachers Miss Edwards and Miss Smith.
Robert Burns Scottish Festival:
The Robert Burns Scottish Festival will be held in our community on Friday 2nd – Sunday 4th July (Term 2 holidays). Our school has
been long-time supporters of this festival and we are excited that we will once again be involving our students in activities associated
with this festival. The generosity of the festival’s committee will be showcased over the remaining four weeks of this term with students
participating in Indigenous cultural experiences, including dance and culture, with Brett Clark with an opportunity to present with Brett
at the festival and perform learnings from his teachings at school. Brett will be working with our Year 3/4 students on Wednesdays until
the end of term.
We are also welcoming back Merran and Peter Moir who will be holding a Scottish dancing session with our students on Friday 18th
June. Our students will exposed to Scottish music and dance and we look forward to welcoming Merran and Peter in the coming weeks.
Reconciliation Week:
Students have been acknowledging Reconciliation Week supporting the relationship between the First Peoples of this continent and the
people who now call Australia home. We look forward to continuing this exploration and showcasing this acknowledgement on our
front fence for our community to see.
Year 7 Transition:
On Wednesday night, our Year 6 students were given a taste of secondary school life by attending our Year 7 Information Evening.
Students were exposed to the many opportunities and learning experiences that are prevalent at our Senior Campus, all the while getting

to know many staff members. We look forward to our Year 6 students becoming more comfortable with secondary school through our
upcoming transition sessions:

Yesterday, in conjunction with Education Week, we invited some
guests to the Junior Campus to build connections. It was lovely
to have Shari from Backyard Biodiversity building bird feeders
and bug hotels with students who also took part in a wonderful
activity where they created local Megafauna from Mount Leura
out of leaves.
We also enjoyed a special treat from past Camperdown College
student Louise Place, who video chatted with us about her job as
a radiographer.
Thank you to the Year 6 leaders who helped out this week with
activities, the week would not have run so smoothly without you.
Look out next week for an at home experience with past
Camperdown College student Michael Place. Michael will join
us via WebEx on Tuesday 1st June to talk about his profession
working as a Mining Manager at Gold Fields Granny Smith
Underground Gold Mine in Western Australia. There will be a
link posted on Compass on Tuesday so you can enjoy this from
your own home.

Year 9 Try A Career Day
Last Friday, Year 9 students travelled to Warrnambool to participate in South West TAFE's Try a
Career Day. We started with a quick tour of the Timor Street Campus, having a look at various
departments – nursing, electro, automotive, plumbing, IT and hospitality. We then travelled to
Sherwood Park Campus where students participated in three hands on activities including:
Agriculture, Tourism, Community Services, Hospitality, Plumbing, Building, Childcare, Hair and
Beauty, Art, Sport and Recreation, Engineering, Electrotechnology, Business and Digital Media.
This gave students an opportunity to participate in, and learn about, VET offerings for next year. A
number of the programs are available through our Corangamite Trade Training Centres. All students
were engaged in the activities and it was a great day out to end the week.

                                       Learning about finding edible sap from the wattle trees, Pauly was a wonderful ‘bush tucker’
                                       guide. We all ate our way around the boardwalk at Tower Hill trying so many different leaves,
                                       seeds, sap snd finished with soap bush to wash our hands. A fantastic way to lean about
                                       Australia’s Indigenous bush foods. Also learning how to use our sense of smell to spot koalas!
                                       We had a fantastic time on our excursion today.

                                   Prep – Year 6 students at the Junior Campus recently enjoyed drawing in Art with Ms
                                   Smithwick’s pet rats, Onion and Potato Chips. This treat was organised in conjunction
                                   with our unit on Banksy where students have been working on various drawing
                                   techniques and learning to draw movement. Students were thrilled to be able to draw real-
                                   life rats and were calm and engaged in their work.

                                      On Monday 17th May, the Year 3/4 classes were invited to the Senior Campus to watch the
                                      Year 8 students perform their comedy skits. Year 8 students have been working very hard
                                      over the past four weeks to learn their parts and were very excited to perform to an audience.
                                      The primary students enjoyed engaging within the community; attending the theatre as part
                                      of their Inquiry studies.

SSV Division Cross Country
We were very excited to have our largest representative team in memory at the SSV
Division Cross Country on Monday 24th May. Six students competed at Deakin
University in Warrnambool on a much tougher course than what they saw during the
qualifying events. All students did a fantastic job, made me super proud of their effort
and students all finished in the top half of their competitors:
    Philippa Kempton 15th (12/13 yo females)
    Nate Castle 11th & Quinn Clark 43rd (11 yo males)
    Abey McLachlan 14th (10 yo females)
    Charlie Unwin 20th & Noah Boyde 34th (10 yo males)
These results mean that Nate Castle will represent Camperdown College at Regional Level at a date now to be confirmed. These
students conducted themselves very well and were outstanding representatives of Camperdown College.
