Thank you to all of our families and students for the many, many emails we have received filled with kind words and thanks. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful community supporting us during this time.

If there is anything we can do for you, please make sure you reach out.

A challenge to our families:

If mobile phone use is an issue in your home, I would like to share a little bit of a challenge to our Year 7 and 10 families. I recently discovered an app called ‘Flora’ which is a free app that helps manage screen time via a virtual garden. Each time you put your phone down, Flora plants a seed and a tree begins to grow. The less you use your phone, the better your garden grows. The best bit is you can use Flora with a friend or family member and grow a garden together! See below

Year 7: You have transitioned to learning from home so well! I know the way the PSHS approaches learning from home is very different than what you experienced last year. The resilience you have shown is truly remarkable. Please remember that Ms Alrubai, Mrs Kwiet and I are here if you need anything!

Year 10: I imagine by now learning from home is beginning to wear thin for many of you. It is important to remember that we are all in this together and the expectations around our school values – citizenship, courage, diligence and integrity are the same during online learning as they are when we are on-site. Please remember that Mrs Wallace, Mrs Holloway and I are here if you need anything!

Term 3 has been an interesting Term and the Mathematics Staff adjusted quickly to online teaching, learning many new technology skills. Our competitions have all been moved to online platforms as well as our Term 3 Tasks. Peer Tutoring has continued to run over zoom but not at its usually full capacity. Unfortunately, we had to stop our Primary Peer Tutoring program for Terms 3 and 4. Hopefully we will be able to resume this valuable program again in 2022.

Applications to study Mathematics Extension 2 in 2022 are closing soon, please complete your forms and upload them. No late applications will be accepted.

On 9 June we had our largest group ever of 19 students participate in the annual UNSW Mathematics Competition. It is an intensive 3-hour competition, and we were fortunate enough to be able to sit it in the hall before Covid hit! There has been a delay in the papers being marked as UNSW was shut down because of COVID, but the papers have been collected by the markers now so hopefully we will get the results early in Term 4. Our team consisted of:

The AMC – On Wednesday 4 August all of Years 7 to 10 and 25 Year 11 and 12 students participated in the Australian Mathematics Competition, AMC. This year the AMC was held online. AMC is Australia’s premier problem-solving competition. The AMC is made up of 30 questions that help students explore and develop their problem-solving skills, all of which are solved without the use of a calculator. Results should be back early next term.

The Euler, Gauss and Noether Enrichment Programs – is winding up at the end of Term 3. Application forms will be handed out mid Term 4 for enrichment in 2022. Euler is for Year 8 students, Gauss for Year 9 students and Noether for Year 10 students. It is designed to encourage students to develop their higher order problem skills. It is for the more able students. Whereas Peer Tutoring is for students in Years 7 to 11 who need help with their mathematics class work or if they would like help before the yearly exams, please email Anuja or Juveena at mathspeertutoring@gmail.com and they will match you with a peer tutor who will help you with your maths for free.

The Year 9 ESSI Financial Competition – was held during weeks 6 and 7 of Term 3 for all of Year 9. The competition educated the students about budgeting, credit cards, saving money, spending money, incomes, taxes, scams. The students had to get a job, answer quizzes and complete diary entries whilst building their financial empire. At the end of the competition the winners were determined by who had the most money, answered quizzes and completed at least 3 diary entries.

The overall Year 9 winner was Dinel Perera, in second place was Reeve Dudhia and in third place was Alex Gange. These gentlemen will receive canteen vouchers when we are all back at school in mid Term 4!

As Academic Prefect Interns, our main responsibilities include overseeing students from Year 7 to 12, organising study groups, peer support and the school curriculum. Since lockdown, it has been really difficult for the students to actively interact with each other, so, our team has implemented a range of initiatives to help students stay on top of their studies despite the difficult conditions. We hope that our initiatives influence students to develop positive study habits during online school and encourage constant collaboration with each other.

One of our initiatives is the “Study with the Prefects” Zoom sessions which occur on Mondays and Thursdays after school. These are designed to create an environment where students are motivated to study. It allows for junior students to ask senior students questions regarding subjects, homework, or any other questions. To encourage more participation, we integrated a point system where students can earn a point per minute after joining and engaging with the session for at least 30 minutes. Students can gain points for both individual awards and English classes (Year 7, 8, 11, 12) or Science classes (Year 9, 10). So far, the sessions have been pretty successful with both the juniors and seniors joining to study.

We recently implemented a peer tutoring system in line with our zoom sessions to allow the seniors to provide a helping hand to students in the younger grades. This peer tutoring system covers a range of subjects from Mathematics all the way to Commerce. Applications to become tutors have been sent out! If you wish to be tutored, an email was sent earlier this month with regards to it.

You might think that because of COVID-19, the School Functions team has had nothing to do during quarantine. Although it is unfortunate that many exciting events have been pushed back, we are still working hard with the rest of the prefects to push for a motivating lockdown school life for our students!

As the School Functions Prefects, our roles and responsibilities entail the organisation of initiatives and events that help us stay connected with the student body. As our current circumstances heavily restrict us, we’ve decided the best way to stay connected with the students and staff is through the media, organised and operated by our dedicated team members.

Right now, the School Functions team is collaborating with the Social Justice team in a series of “Lockdown Wellbeing Challenge” videos, where we present a handful of prefects participating in fun activities. We aim to encourage students to follow through and participate with the activities we are showcasing, provide entertainment and possibly help students gain new hobbies to stay motivated and occupied through online schooling and the tough times we’re having during COVID!

To deal with the lonely times, the Prefect Interns have worked together with the Prefect Media team to deliver Spotify playlists in several themes. These themes include workout, study, night-time playlists and more. The prefects have customised these playlists with their own personal favourites, including the songs they are currently listening to during lockdown. To resonate with the themes of the playlists, the Prefect Media team has worked to produce some of the best playlist covers!

We plan to try and stay more connected with the school through social media, and we have a lot of fun stuff planned for the future. Until then, thanks for supporting the School Functions team!

As the Enrichment Prefect Interns, our main responsibilities lie in the organisation and execution of a large array of enrichment activities available to Penrith Selective High School students. Due to the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic and the shift to online learning, the Enrichment Prefects have not been able to perform many of the tasks we usually would in a physical school setting, such as organising Duke of Ed, Penrith in Performance, and academic competitions such as ICAS. However, we have been working on a few ways to keep school fun and engaging during lockdown.

The Enrichment Prefects have been busy lately with the Prefect Olympics Competition, where students were challenged with a series of quizzes, each based on a different school faculty, starting with Science, which was followed by Maths, CAPA, and so on, for the duration of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. These quizzes were a huge success, with 990 quiz submissions recorded across the 9 days that the quiz ran. After the conclusion of the Prefect Olympics, which coincided with the end of the real Olympics, the Enrichment Prefects have now set our sights on reestablishing the various peer tutoring programs run by different faculties. Expression of interest forms have been sent out to all junior students, who may wish to be tutored, and all senior students who may wish to become a tutor. These Peer Tutoring sessions will be run over Zoom during the Prefect mass study sessions, held on Thursday afternoons from 4:30-6:30PM.

Stay tuned for more fun events that we are planning to keep you all connected and entertained.

The Faculty Prefect Interns are a part of the Prefect Intern body for 2021/22, and we are responsible for all events and activities that involve the 9 school faculties including Science Week, Presentation Night and Parent Teacher Interviews. This term, during lockdown, we have been working with the Enrichment Prefect Interns on the “Prefect Olympics”, which is an event where students are able to participate in challenging quizzes that focus on each of the 9 faculties. This was made to boost Olympic spirit during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and to also encourage students to actively participate in school activities while also maintaining their wellbeing. As of now, we are working on many other fun and engaging activities to get the school through lockdown. We hope to release these projects soon!

On 27 August, PSHS celebrated the annual Wear It Purple Day run by the Social Justice and Equality Prefects.

This event celebrated the diversity of our school community and aims to foster a culture of acceptance and awareness for LGBTQ+ individuals. More details on the cause can be found at the following link: https://www.wearitpurple.org/

Students were invited to participate by choosing a purple zoom background, purple zoom profile picture, AND/OR wear purple clothing or accessories on Zoom. As well there was a Wear It Purple Day Kahoot on after school at 3:30, where house points were awarded for participation, costumes, and placing on the podium.

It was wonderful to see everyone's amazing costumes and decorations in recognition of this important cause.

Well done!

On 26 April, 33 students from our Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards, as well as a few other students from year 11 and 12, have all successfully completed our Senior First Aid Course. We chose to work through the theory section in the holidays before getting tested in a practical assessment in the form of a workshop when we returned to school. Examined under the Royal Life Saving Society Australia (RLSSA), we received workbooks, mini first aid packages, first hand lessons from representative Terry McCallum and finally our qualifications on first aid.

Covering all aspects of first aid from legal to CPR, we diligently went through all of the exercises in our workbooks. After studying each section of the text, we concluded it with a final writing test that was marked off during the workshop. This test and the practical assessment was what determined whether we would pass our course. Even now, we have access to our workbooks and all the information it provides on first aid, it is a great resource.

Then, came the day of the assessment, throughout the day, we explored several features of first aid with Mr McCallum. With his knowledge and expertise, each of us were also given the skills required to accomplish our Senior First Aid certifications. During the workshop, we completed practical applications through scenarios on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), basic emergency life support and first aid. These three units make up our Senior First Aid qualifications and are valid for 3 years, when we can choose to be tested again.

In spite of the hard work that was required for this course, it is with no doubt that we all had a fun time. Through this workshop, we had the chance to learn how to apply first aid in many situations. Thanks to the RLSSA we also had access to equipment like practice CPR Manikins, and triangular bandages used for slings. By allowing us to learn these things through practical execution, it was much easier to memorise and understand.

Overall, this course will be highly useful to all of us, providing some great life skills. It was a great and engaging experience for us to be involved in. From each of the 33 students, we are all greatly appreciative of the RLSSA, Terry McCallum and Ms Andreatta for organising this course. With her assistance, we all have access to first aid qualifications that will greatly benefit us in the future.

Before lockdown our new Yarning Circle was completed. Making it even more special was having Alumna, Divinia Eather, and Eather Group lead and complete this whilst engaging indigenous businesses. Following on from a special Smoking Ceremony in NAIDOC Week and on Multicultural Day with Uncle Graham there will be a mural also completed when the students are back.

The Yarning Circle is based on the 2021 NAIDOC theme "Heal Country".

A 100% Indigenous-led project in the Education sector, the consultation, planning and design, resourcing, execution, clean up and quality control, was championed completely by Indigenous businesses.

Eather Group engaged five other Indigenous contractors to deliver this project namely, Muru Mittigar, Kangaroo Transport and Haulage, Yamari Ochre Signs, the Richmond franchisee of Fox Mowing and Plate Events. Furthermore, this project provided work for upwards of 12 Aboriginal people in a time of Sydney-wide job insecurity.

Eather Group are excited about the potential to use this project as a blueprint for other interested schools, as well as within other sectors.

Thank you Eather Group for completing this project in connecting students to the significance of Country.

At the time of this edition being produced the first edition of the school's Captains' Book has gone to the printers.

Nonetheless, we would still like to hear further from the Captains listed below.

ICYMI

The Head Teacher History is gathering information about all of our past captains. The plan is to create a book which has the male and female captain for each year on a double page. There will be the name and year on each page. Each page is intended to have a school photo of the captain (when actually the captain) and a more recent photo beside it.

Underneath this will be four questions:

1. What is your best memory of Penrith High School?

2. What did you think you would be doing after you left high school?

3. What are you doing now?

4. What is the best advice you could give to current PHS students?

We may be able to get some of these responses from the profiles in the back of The Towers but would enjoy hearing from as many former captains or their families as possible.

If you were a past captain or family member could you forward a suitable photo and your responses to the four questions. This will be passed on.

If you know the contact details of any past captain could you pass this information onto the school via the school email penrith-h.school@det.nsw.edu.au and make it attention to Clark Stone.

The intention is to present the First Edition of the Captains' Book to the school late 2021 in celebration of our 70th Anniversary with copies for sale and one to be placed in the school foyer.

We still need to hear from: Please note the asterisk means deceased
