The planning has begun for the New York Trip for Year 11/10 students specifically interested in Media/ Art/ Music.

An important information session will be on Wednesday May 22 at 6pm in the Library.

We are calling for expressions of interest from students who would like to explore their Curriculum area in New York – November 30 – December 13.

If you are unable to attend and you are interested in going, you must see one of us for the necessary paper work to show your specific expression of interest.

Year 10 Maths Information Night

Monday 27^th May 7.00pm

Parents and students are invited to attend a Maths information Session. The Maths Faculty Coordinator Stav Stefano will be outlining the Mathematic options available to students for Semester 2 and the pathways for Mathematics in VCE. The Senior Pathways and Transition Coordinator, Margaret Fry, will speak to parents about the up-coming work experience week and the subject selection process that will follow in term 3.

School for Student Leadership

Princes Hill Secondary College has been offered 6 places for year 9 students at the Dinner Plain Campus (very near the Mt Hotham ski resort) of the School for Student Leadership (SSL) for half of term 4 this year. Normally students attend SSL for a whole term, but no programs were run in term 1 this year, due to bushfires, so our students will undertake an abridged program. Our students will attend from Sunday November 17 to Saturday December 21 (5 weeks). Please note that these dates overlap Wilderness Week – so students attending SSL will not take part in Wilderness Week. The School for Student Leadership (formerly known as The Alpine School) has been running for over a decade, and now has three campuses. It is an initiative of the Victorian government . Forty five

students attend each campus at any time, and students learn about leadership, the environment, local issues, indigenous issues, and so on. The School for Student Leadership experience is a chance for students to have a great personal and social experience. Much more information is available at the school’s website: www.alpineschool.vic.edu.au , particularly a video at www.alpineschool.vic.edu.au/ssl/student-video.html . The school charges $580 for the program, but lack of funding should not deter anyone from applying. Click here for more information.

Questions addressed:

· How do I get my child more motivated?
· How do I get my child to manage their time more?
· What work should my child be doing?
· How do I get them to avoid distractions

The presenter then runs through ways to solve these issues by looking at:

· Goal Setting
· Developing an effective study timetable
· Outlining what work should they be doing throughout the course of the year
· How to minimise distractions

On top of this, the presenter will of course answer any other questions that the parents may have. More details can be found here.
