Here we are at the end of Term 3, and what a huge term it has been.

Congratulations to Year 10, 11 and 12 students for your behaviour this term. The vast majority of students continually display respectful and responsible behaviours towards other students and staff and this modelling flows down through the school.

A big well done and thank you to all students and staff who have been involved in extra-curricular competitions, events and activities throughout this term. The impacts of more than two and a half years of COVID have been felt keenly across the school this term, and these additional activities, whether they be a sporting competition, a free dress day, a performance, a sausage sizzle or some other light-hearted bit of entertainment, help everyone to refocus on the successes, opportunities and positives interactions and experiences here at our wonderful school.

Next term is set to be another jam-packed 10 weeks. Be aware that 18 November is the final date for Year 12 attendance for receipt of a Senior Statement, and 25 November is the final date for student attendance in Years 10 and 11. It is important that students stay actively engaged in learning right up their final day. Between now and then we have a number of important events:

Week 2 – Year 12 external exam familiarisation session
Week 3 – Year 11 block exams; Year 11 and 12 Aviation assessment
Weeks 4-7 – Year 12 External assessment
Week 7 – Presentation night, Year 12 Formal and Year 12 Graduation

Mrs Grimshaw and I will ensure that parents and students are kept up to date with all the information surrounding these events.

I wish all students a relaxing and recuperative break and success in the final term of 2023.

Words from the Deputy Desk Junior

Term 3 has been action packed with a variety of extra-curricular events happening after school hours. It has been amazing to see our school offer so much to our students and I would like to thank the staff and carers who make this happen. We finish off the term with another event, the swimming carnival and I am looking forward to seeing the amazing house spirit on offer.

If your student in year 7 or 8, missed subject selection, it is important that they see Mrs. Whybird in T18 and complete this as soon as possible next term. The timetable is being worked on at the moment and it is important to have accurate subject selections so a student is not disappointed next year.

Finally I would like to wish all of our students and carers a restful and safe break.

Immunisation program for Year 7 and Year 10 students

Our school is participating in Queensland Health’s annual School Immunisation Program. All Year 7 and Year 10 students will be offered free vaccinations as recommended on the National Immunisation Program schedule to protect against vaccine preventable diseases.

On Saturday the 3^rd of September instrumental music students from Tolga, Kairi, Yungaburra, Atherton Primary, and Atherton High played in ATIM’s largest concert of the year; Atherton Brass and Concert Band Spectacular. We were joined by two of the best large ensembles in Far North Queensland; Atherton Hotshots and Cairns Brass. The Brass and Concert band spectacular has been running for nearly a decade and not only is a huge opportunity for students and parents to enjoy some fantastic music but also allows ATIM a huge fundraiser that goes directly to the instrumental music department. Funds raised from this concert will be put towards upgrading the instrumental music programs uniforms.

Design and Technology Dept

With term 3 coming to an end it is so pleasing to see so many awesome projects being completed.

This term in junior design students made a variety of products including Electric Cars, PVC trinket boxes and metal toolboxes to name a few. It was also very encouraging to see the majority of our design and technology students living our values of Respect, Responsibility, Success and Safety.

In the senior technology areas, I saw students completing complex projects that have taken many weeks to complete. I saw machines and tools being used correctly and safely. In construction students were working on house frames, fencing and bricklaying. This group is demonstrating a real flare for construction. In Engineering, students were welding, cutting and making hammers and frames. Well done students.

The Digital Technologies department plan on introducing more in-depth VR development units in 2023.

Food and Fibre Production - High Teas

Sports Dept - Cricket Celebration

CHAMPIONS! The Atherton State High School senior girls T20 Cricket team have taken out the Northern Queensland Conference final in Mackay, led by captain Amy Hunter.

The girls played brilliantly, bowling first and making quick work of Kirwin State High School in the first round. They beat Kirwan by seven wickets at the end of the eighth over to progress to the final against Rockhampton Grammar later in the day. Strategically electing to bowl first, the girls headed out to give it their all.

In a race against the impending weather, the girls stepped up against a formidable Rockhampton Grammar batting line up, collecting two wickets in the first over! A run out by Teresa Isabella followed by Amy Hunter’s pearler of a delivery dismissed their number two and three respectively. The wickets dried up for a few overs as Rockhampton tallied towards a workable total, before a screamer of a catch by Amelia Geddes on the boundary, dismissing their gun batter on 65 off the bowling of Kate Hunter. The girls rallied and wickets began flowing again, with Rockhampton Grammar posting a total of 122 for the girls to win.

As the rain began to close in, so did the ASHS girls. The runs account was quickly begun by openers Teresa Isabella and Amy Hunter. Making a quickfire five runs, Teresa was soon caught behind in the fourth over. Drama struck as the girls continued to lose another two wickets in the same over to some quality leg spin, leaving Amy stuck at the crease just needing someone to hang around. None other than her younger sister Kate solved the issue! Remaining at the crease for ten overs, Kate held up an end, ensuring her sister had the majority of the strike. Passing 50 in the twelfth over, Amy didn’t stop there, proceeding to crush a total of 85 not out; consisting of sixteen boundaries, steering the girls to the North Queensland Division Championship in the sixteenth over.

The ladies celebrated their victory by travelling to Cazaly’s Stadium to watch the second One Day International between Australia and New Zealand. It was a great afternoon’s cricket, with the girls intently watching the match, and some of them even finding time to ‘fan girl’ over Australian players Marnus Labuschagne and Sean Abbott. Great job ladies, you have all represented the school to a very high standard, we are all extremely proud of your achievements this season, well done!

T20 Cricket Regional Champions

The interschool Touch Football season for 2022 is now completed. Congratulations to all students who played in this competition throughout the term.

All teams represented ASHS to a high standard, showing off some good quality touch against some very skilled opposition. Unfortunately, the major final was not to be the place for any of our teams, with our Intermediate teams; Atherton 1 and 2, finishing 4^th and 3^rd respectively.

Meanwhile, in the senior division, our senior teams; Atherton 1 and Atherton 2, finished 3^rd and 4^th respectively. Congratulations to students who received Best and Fairest and Sportsmanship awards. These students include:

Jake Paronella- Intermediate Atherton 2 Best and Fairest

Layton Day – Intermediate Atherton 1 Best and Fairest

Tylah Harris – Intermediate competition Sportsmanship award

Amy Hunter – Senior Atherton 1 Best and Fairest

Aidan Leibel – Senior Atherton 2 Best and Fairest

Congratulations to all students who played, and a massive thank you to all staff, students and parents who helped out throughout the competition.

Health = Fantastic Fitness!!

Our year 11 and 12 Certificate III in Fitness students have been sharpening their interpersonal skills and knowledge of the fitness industry standards of practice, by working with peer and adult clients this term.

The year 11 students worked with peer clients from within their cohort to focus on individual and group cardio training.

The year 12’s worked with younger students (thank you to Mr Simpson’s year 7 class!), as well as peer and adult clients in order to hone their exercise programming and instruction based practice.

We hope that they have all gained the knowledge and experience required in order for them to excel within the Sport, Fitness and Recreation industry.

Certificate III in Fitness Fun

On Thursday 8^th September senior Visual Art students were lucky enough to be able to visit Art galleries in Cairns. They viewed two exhibitions at the Regional Gallery, Faceless and Images From the Flooded Rainforest. They also viewed student works from across the region in the Energy exhibition at the Tanks Art Centre. It was especially exciting to see the work of our own senior students Jemma Denigan and Bonnie Irvine exhibited at the Tanks We had great day immersing ourselves in art in the real world.

AG Dept - Kindy Kids Visit

Every year the ASHS Agricultural Department host a morning for C & K Atherton (AKA Atherton Kindy, AKA Kelly St Kindy).

The kindy friends walked all the way up the hill to the school with their hats on their heads and their little Hi-Vis vests. The kindy friends got to look at how we do bee keeping with ASHS students in bee suits teaching them all about how a hive works and what bees do.

They got to feed and pat our Bull “Saracha” as well as our herd of goats. Their favourite part was cuddling our fluffy chickens and holding the newly born chicks (with help form some of our students). The day finished with the kindy friends exploring the school tractor and mower. After a some farewells and thank you, they were off back down the hill.

We always enjoy a visit from the local Kindys, and we are sure they enjoy it too.

Bell Shakespeare - All the World’s A Stage

Fun, energetic, interactive! The Players are coming to our school in term 4!

LOCK IT IN - THEY ARE COMING TO US IN ATHERTON! 10 OCTOBER

The Players are Bell Shakespeare’s touring ensemble of professional artists who bring Shakespeare to life in schools and communities across Australia.

A funny, provocative and fast-paced rollercoaster ride through the world of William Shakespeare, Shakespeare Is Dead is designed to challenge negative, preconceived notions about the world’s most famous playwright.

Shakespeare is Dead follows a group of teenagers who embark on a journey asking the ultimate question – if Shakespeare is long dead, why are we still performing his plays?

SHAKESPEARE: THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE

To this day, Shakespeare remains unrivalled in his ability to understand humanity through the characters he created. By holding up a mirror to nature, he shone a light on our glories and flaws, and explored what it means to be human.

This powerful show for senior students uses key speeches and scenes from across Shakespeare’s canon to chart representations of individual and collective human experiences. Shakespeare: The Human Experience connects students’ own experiences with the universality of Shakespeare’s characters, and the wider world around them.
