Notes from Year 7 & 8 Deputy As we head into the holiday period of 2020, we reflect on a year that impacted our normality beyond what anyone believed was possible. Little did we know at the start of 2020, that this year would bring more change, more uncertainty and more bravery than we ever thought was possible. We were all placed, for a moment, into the world of our students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, who live every day with the discomfort of change in a world they don’t understand. However, despite the adversity and the apprehension that 2020 has thrust upon us, it has also created many opportunities for growth and reflection, both as individuals and as a school. In addition to reinventing the way that we delivered learning, COVID-19 created a world where character strengths could be clearly highlighted and celebrated. We saw it in the acts of kindness from strangers, in the rainbows displayed in windows, and in our staff, students and school community who continued to work together as a team throughout it all. At Warnbro Community High School Education Support Centre we value and teach a Character Strengths Program as part of our Positive Education approach, and encourage our students to recognise their own strengths as well as the strengths in others. In addition, we regularly highlight character strengths on a weekly basis as part of our Morning Meeting process. Our evidence-based wellbeing programs are what sets our school apart from others and connects us to the core of what we do: Developing students’ academics and wellbeing so that they can live their best possible lives. Now I have already identified a few character strengths that have been evident this year, including Courage, Kindness and Teamwork. As we head into the holiday period, I’d like to share some more opportunities that come effortlessly at this time of year so our students can continue to recognise and celebrate strengths during the break. Naturally, the holidays are a time of giving so it is a perfect time to challenge your child to think about giving back to your community in some way. Term 4 has seen a theme of “giving back” with our Middle School students participating in the Bendigo Bank competition, suggesting ways to support and improve their local community. In addition, students spread joy through the Christmas Markets where they invited a local Primary school to enjoy in the festivities and used money raised in their enterprises to fund the Bendigo Bank competition winner. Student councillors have also set up a collection box for donations of non-perishable food to share with our school community at this important time of the year. These ideas encourage Kindness and Creativity, as well as other character strengths. Similarly, Gratitude is a character strength that can emerge during the holiday period. In the rush of Christmas and the holiday season, it is important to remember to stop and reflect on what you are grateful for, and encourage your child to do the same. Whether it is presents, good food, or spending time with special people who you don’t see often, Christmas tends to be a time that encourages gratitude if we are conscious of it. Finally, I would like to highlight the character strength of Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence. Christmas and Summer are both times of significant beauty, both in the natural and man-made world. It is impossible to avoid the Christmas lights that scatter our suburbs and there are so many great events at this time of the year that leave us in awe. In addition, our beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world and we are lucky to enjoy amazing sunsets and weather at this time of the year. I hope that our students and families from across the school have an amazing Summer holidays. Stay safe and I look forward to catching up on your return in 2021. Yr 7 & 8 Deputy Kelly Stevens PAGE 3 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
Cowan 7 With the Christmas Markets fast approaching, much of the term has been spent working on projects related to our market stall. Part of the process for our Christmas Market was not just deciding what we wanted to sell, but to actually find out whether people would be interested to buy our items and the price they would be willing to pay. This gave us opportunity to link the Christmas Markets into our HASS, Maths, English and Digital Technology programs and classes. Cowan 7 decided that the products we would like to focus on were our Christmas raffle, a stall of games, friendship bracelets and Christmas ornaments. To ensure we were meeting the needs of our target market, we as a class created an online survey, which was then sent out digitally to all staff and their students. We had a great response to our survey, which was made up of five questions. As part of our Math program we were then able to spend time analysing the data, including turning the information into graphs and tallies so that it was visually represented. We also spent time looking at mean, mode, median and range, which gave us an opportunity to understand how companies make their decisions based on averages, as well as different ways for us to look at numbers. Based on this analysis of data, we were then able to make decisions about the items we were producing and what price we would be selling them for. All of us have had a great time working on our market project and cannot wait for the Christmas Market day! PAGE 4 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
Stanley 7 Stanley 7 have been busily working in all the different learning areas. In Science we have been exploring the planets and solar system, and learning about number, time and money in Maths. An activity we particularly enjoyed was during Digital Technology. We worked in pairs to give our partner instructions on how to construct a Lego creation step-by-step. Some of the feedback given by the students was that it was more difficult to listen to someone giving instructions than looking at the instructions yourself. We are looking forward to starting the production of our items for the Christmas Market, and all the excitement the end of year brings! Bell 8 In Term 4, Bell 8 has had the opportunity to incorporate many hands-on activities into their learning. Students have been learning Maths through playing games. In a board game similar to Monopoly, the students were required to utilise lots of different Maths skills, including addition, subtraction, and rounding. If they were lucky, they could earn money through activities like washing a car, babysitting, or even finding $10 on the street! They could also lose money due to events like overdue library books, or needing gas for a scooter. At the end of the game, the highest income earner wins! In week 6, students from the class were involved in a whole school NAIDOC event. They got to experience many activities including face painting, poster-making and sneaker painting. Students got to apply their creativity, and decision-making skills when choosing a poster from different years. They also learnt the meaning behind the moral messages derived from the poster.

Forrest 8
This term Forrest 8 welcomed our new teacher Mrs Jones into the classroom on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
In our Friday Protective Behaviour sessions, we have been learning about restorative interactions in a class circle.
Restorative Interactions are when you build a class and school community to help set things right when the integrity
of the group has been challenged by harmful behaviour.
Our class comes together in a circle on the floor to learn ways to better communicate and solve problems that
we may encounter with each other. We talk about ‘restorative justice’, the guideline and structure of a restorative
interaction circle, and learn ways to make things right between people after someone has done something hurtful.
To begin, a student is selected
to choose a talking piece from
the box, choose the colour of
an LED candle and then places
them both on the coloured floor
mat. Another student collects
the turtle bell to ring. Once set
up, all class members take their
place on the floor in a circle
around the centre mat making
sure that everyone can see each
other’s face without having to
move. The bell is rung, and the
interaction circle begins. Our
teacher facilitates the class circle
discussions and questions. The
talking piece is used to identify
who is talking and then it is passed on to the next person. It is traditional for people to talk into the centre of
the circle so that everybody’s voice is added to the centre and the wisdom of the class begins to emerge. At the
conclusion of the circle the bell is rung again indicating the end of the interaction circle.
The students are actively participating and enjoying the restorative interactive circle and find it a nice and calming
way to end the school week. They are demonstrating great maturity and honesty in the way that they discuss topics
and respond to some difficult questions. Here is some feedback from the last session that we had:
• “I feel calm at the end of the restorative circle.”
• “Everyone listened and were very respectful.”
• “I feel safe when talking.”
• “I feel ok.”
• “I found the restorative circle very calm and respective when talking and listening.”
• “It is a great way to end the day.”
• “I really like the way everyone is open and honest in what they have to say.”
We are incredibly happy and proud of the academic, personal and social achievements, growth and maturity that the
students of Forrest 8 have displayed this year. Well done class and we hope you can keep up the great work next year.

Notes from Year 9 & 10 Deputy Term 4, the Term for Change. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Warnbro CHS ESC family for their continued support since stepping into the Acting Deputy Principal role. It has been a change and a challenge, but I am thoroughly enjoying the role supporting staff and students on a daily basis. A huge welcome to Ms Sylvia Spindler who has joined our teaching team this term and for 2021. Ms Spindler has a wealth of experience working with students who have additional educational needs, spending time at Koorana Education Support Centre and Malibu School. I look forward to watching her use all her expertise to support our students’ individual requirements. Year 10 have an amazing celebratory event during Week 8. Students attended the River Cruise in collaboration with Warnbro Community High School. It is a wonderful way to celebrate all of the hard work students have put in this year. I also want to congratulate these students on the presentation of not one, but two Community Times. Both Business classes successfully delivered these confidently and professionally. Well done!! Year 9 have begun the transition process towards Senior School. They have created individual transition booklets, after introductory sessions with staff, in their new classrooms and Senior School environment. The enthusiasm that surrounds transition from all students is a delight to see, and I look forward to continuing to support students during this exciting time. Finally, I would like to thank the Warnbro family for the ongoing support for all our students, helping them to reaching their goals and flourish. I wish everyone the very best for a fun-filled festive season. It is a perfect opportunity to develop our kindness and caring characteristics, offering support and love to those around us. Stay safe and I look forward to greeting all our students back in 2021. Yr 9 & 10 Deputy David Mercer PAGE 7 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
Tan 9
The year is finishing extremely well for students in Class Tan, with Semester 2 proving to be successful for both
classroom relationships and learning, working in tandem with our other Year 9 class, Yagan. Our students have
quickly progressed through Year 9 this year, and their growth in maturity is inspiring and heartening to see.
This Semester we have explored content from a diverse range of learning areas, including rich learning in the
curriculum subjects Science and HaSS. In Science, students have learned about the internal processes of the Earth
including how volcanoes are formed, and have created booklets demonstrating their understanding of the three
main volcano types. Following
this students explored how
energy moves, including heat,
light, sound and wave motion,
and even made their own wave
simulator machines with tape,
wooden skewers and lollies! In
HaSS, students have learned
about our Australian legal
system, and how to conduct a
business enterprise with our
Christmas Market preparations.
Over the remaining weeks
of 2020 we will finalise our preparations for transition to the Senior School environment for Year 10 next year. Our
students are well placed for this change, with their personal and independent living skills visibly improved. It has
been a fantastic and dynamic term, and we look forward to seeing all students progress further in 2021.
Yagan 9
Yagan is experimenting with
body breaks.
Now that the sun is out, we
have tried some new body
breaks before transitioning
to other classes. We had
some fun times out there
chasing bubbles and using
a variation of silent ball to
practice our skip counting.
These were much needed
breaks while we had the
new furniture installed in our
classroom.

Business As the year comes to an end, we can reflect on a both challenging and successful year. The students have engaged in many activities which have enabled them to develop and put many new skills into practice. The students have gained a range of experiences while contributing to their class business enterprise “Copy Cats”. It has been great to see their confidence grow as they visit each class to ask for jobs to complete, as well as their achievements working as a team. Students have also been working studiously to complete their Business Certificate I assessments. This Qualification gives students the opportunity to develop a range of skills and knowledge to prepare for work in a variety of industries. Teaching this year group has been an absolute pleasure and we wish our students a well-deserved and very happy holidays! PAGE 9 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
Notes from Senior School Deputy In Term 4 we farewelled the Year 12 students at the Valedictory Ceremony that was held at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre. Warnbro ESC students joined their mainstream peers, looking grand in their graduation gowns. The Valedictory is a formal way for us to recognise the hard work our students have put in to finish school and is an opportunity to celebrate this achievement. Special recognition was made to Aidan for his excellent academic achievements and contributions to his community, and to Shea, for his outstanding effort and achievement in his vocational program. Well done to all our Year 12 students for completing their compulsory schooling. Year 12 Graduating students, 2020: Jaydin, Jamie, Shelby, Brainnah, Christine, Aidan, Tabitha, Joel, Shea, Shannen Term 4 has been a little quiet in Senior School with many of our Year 11 and 12 students finishing school for the year. Those who have continued at school have been consolidating the skills and knowledge they have learnt during the year by completing their enterprise projects and working hard in the workplace. Employers have been impressed by the enthusiasm students have demonstrated whilst completing workplace tasks, by the responsible behaviour our students have demonstrated, and by the respectful way they respond to customers and work colleagues. We wish our Year 12 students who are not returning for Year 13 all the very best in their future endeavours. We have enjoyed being a part of your school experiences. To all the returning Senior School students – have a happy holiday and we can’t wait to share an amazing 2021 with you. SS Deputy Hannah Stoneham PAGE 10 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
General Education for Adults This term the Adult Education class congratulated their Year 12 peers on their Graduation. Aidan, Joel, Shea and Tabitha celebrated the end of their formal schooling with a student breakfast, parade through the school and Valedictory Ceremony at Mandurah Performing Arts Centre. In one of many proud finishing moments this term, the CGEA class have completed the first 5 units of their Certificate II in General Education for Adults. The students have showed their resilience and determination while working through high level units including implement and review of a project, engaging with a range of complex texts for learning purposes and investigate numerical and statistical information. After completing the final piece of work, the class celebrated with pizzas. The class have also been out on Workplace Learning this term, with many students attending a workplace regularly every week. Other students were requested back at their workplace after such a successful experience last term. The students should be very proud of their attitude and commitment to workplace learning this year. As the Year 11 cohort began their study leave, they took with them a collection of recipes they have made this year. The focus in cooking has been on healthy and easy-to-prepare lunches and dinners that the students could make at home – along with a few sweet treats. PAGE 11 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
Horticulture and Construction Horticulture and Construction Class Ode to 2020 (Tune to Panic! at the Disco, High Hopes) What a year, year, year it has been, Shooting for the stars in Hort and Construction Going to TAFE to learn to make a living We had high, high hopes It has been a fun, fun year for the students Full of adventure with our learning COVID wasn’t going to stop our engagement Always had high, high hopes Teacher said Fulfill your destiny Be someone better Go make a legacy Students learn Build a garden Grow vegetables We learnt literacy, learnt numeracy Teacher said Go on Work Placement Work with horses, Good Sammy’s and Woolworths Get a traineeship Light up your wildest dreams Become independent, become independent Had to have high, high hopes for our students Seeing them grow into reliable young adults Responsibility of being a Year 11 And a Year 12 with their Graduation Always had high, high hopes.

Hospitality We cannot believe that the end of the 2020 is nearly here! It has been a very dynamic year in the Hospitality class, and the students have risen to each new challenge and opportunity. At the end of Term 3, our class were asked to put their Hospitality knowledge to into practice at the Year 12 Graduation Lunch. The students confidently took the occasion to showcase their skills assisting with the serving of food and drinks, and contributing to a very successful event. They all showed an impeccable level of professionalism and received many compliments on a job well done! A huge congratulations also goes to our students attending TAFE this year. Attending an off-site location adds a new level of experience to our student’s learning, and even with the changes COVID-19 brought within their area of study, they all took it in their stride. Well done to the team for successfully completing your Certificate Skillset in Hospitality. We are extremely proud of the progress and growth made by all students in the Hospitality Class of 2020. Thank you to all our students and families for a fantastic year! PAGE 13 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
Directions Our students completed selected units of competency from the Painting and Decorating Skillset at Coodanup College Trade Centre. The Directions students really enjoyed their time there and learnt some valuable skills, making a lot of new friends along the way. Our students did a fabulous job and impressed the lectures with their work and can-do attitude. We are all very proud of our student’s achievements, and it is lovely to see them happy and receiving the Certificates from their Lecturer Arthur Cunningham, and Euan Maclean, Head of Programmes for Construction. Seamus the therapy dog visits our class on a weekly basis, bringing great joy to the students and staff, and providing support when required. With him, Seamus brings a sense of calm to the Directions class. We are hoping Seamus can be an ongoing visitor to our school and class, as we all feel his job role is priceless. Thank you to Seamus and Lea. PAGE 14 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
Sport & Leisure Sport In Sport this term, the students have been enjoying some of the new equipment that was purchased by the school. The students had a crash course in frisbee golf and how to play it, and then were challenged to some short ‘holes’. The students have also engaged in some modified games of hockey and handball, making use of our new portable, aluminum goals. The Sport and Fitness ASDAN Course has been completed by the Year 12 students, and was moderated at the end of Term 3, with all of the students successfully achieving their certificates. Leisure In Leisure this term the students have been working to complete their outdoor cooking unit. As a class, the students brainstormed what could be cooked on a camping stove and would be required to complete the meal. Students have cooked a sausage sizzle, beef burger and a chicken caesar salad on an outdoor camping stove with a frypan and a saucepan. The students showed their competency at lighting the stove, cutting and chopping skills, and safe hygiene practices. The Sport and Fitness and Leisure ASDAN Modules have been completed by the Year 12 students, and was moderated at the end of Term 3, with all of the students successfully achieving their certificates. Visual Art It has been another busy and fun term in Visual Arts and students have been producing some amazing artworks. Earlier in the term, our ‘Underwater’ theme came to a close with a mixed media fish activity. Students practiced their fine motor skills using the medium of oil pastel to create unique ‘Fish Head’ masterpieces. The final results were nothing less than striking, with each student’s work making a dramatic statement in vivid coloured pastel. Another engaging and fun theme explored this term was that of ‘Birds’. Students had a great time drawing different quirky birds, inspired by the artwork of James Rizzi. Rizzi was an American artist whose zany artworks were rich in colour and expression. Once drawn, the quirky birds were then painted in bright watercolours. The next phase involved tracing the bird outline onto a foam block. Using a technique called block printing students created prints of their bird in different colours. Students were very impressed with their own handiwork and proud of the results and rightly so! As Christmas looms, the final weeks in Visual Arts will focus on creating unique and beautiful hand-made crafts to decorate the tree or to give as presents. Well done to all the wonderful Middle School students for all their enthusiasm, hard work and dedication in Visual Arts this year. PAGE 15 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS

In Week 6 this term, Warnbro CHS ESC had a School Development Day where students stayed home on the Friday
and staff attended work to participate in professional learning. The day was focused on transition for 2021 and
involved a range of presentations and activities that allowed all staff to learn about the curriculum and wellbeing
needs of their 2021 students.
One of the sessions focused on Mathematics and teaching staff used
this session to analyse data to determine the level each student is
currently working at. Teaching staff had the opportunity to
look at PAT Maths test results to determine the approximate
Year level linked to the Western Australian Curriculum and
Australian Core Skills Framework. They also analysed correct
answers and incorrect answers and engaged in disciplined
dialogue to determine what they believed was the misconception
or area or growth. The time spent on this is crucial to determine
individual student IEP goals for Mathematics, and for teachers to
start developing whole class planning documentation. This rich
learning for staff has been invaluable in setting them up for the start
of 2021 to ensure that all students across the school are accessing the
best Mathematics curriculum for their individual needs. Well done to
the teachers who participated in this session. The engagement and
conversation around data and improving student outcomes was a
great example of best practice.
Maths Tips for Families and Parents
As the big Christmas holidays approaches, you may be wondering how you can keep your child engaged over the
break while still giving them opportunities
to practice a range of mathematics
concepts they have learned at school.
One of the positive things that came from
the COVID-19 pandemic was the resources
that were created and shared across the
Department of Education for schools and
families to use. With the return of face-
to-face teaching and learning, we are
fortunate that these amazing resources are
still available online through the Learning
at Home website.
You can access a range of Mathematics
activities (as well as other subject areas)

PAGE 17 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWSYear 12 Luncheon & Community Time In Week 10 of Term 3, our Year 12 cohort and their invited special guests shared in a wonderful luncheon & Community Time to commemorate the end of their formal schooling. With the tables set, decorations ready and a photo board displayed, our guests were greeted by our Student Councillors and accompanied to the Staff Room. Students and their guests were able to mingle with staff and reminisce about their time at the school before being treated to a delicious catered lunch served by some of our Year 11 Hospitality students - who made everyone proud with their professionalism and fantastic serving skills. Staff speeches, a video montage and some special messages from staff rounded off the luncheon before we all made our way to the Sanbrook Theatre for our Year 12 Graduation Community Time. The Year 12s made their entrance through the theatre to the applause of the ESC students, staff, families and special guests before taking their seats at the front. Students all received a Certificate of Completion and a photo collage marking some of their achievements at high school. Aidan Blackshaw delivered a speech on behalf of the Year 12s and Jayden Knight was awarded the City of Rockingham Citizenship Award presented by the Mayor, Barry Sammels. A video was also screened, featuring our Year 12s offering advice to younger students and looking back on some of their best memories. Thank you to all our guests for attending this special occasion. It was a fantastic afternoon to celebrate our 2020 Year 12s and wish them well on their future endeavours. PAGE 18 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS

WARNBROS GOT TALENT On Wednesday of Week 7, students proudly performed in the highly anticipated show, Warnbro’s Got Talent. This showcase culminated a year of diligent rehearsing, preparation and commitment. We had singers, dancers and joke-tellers entertaining the audience. Highlights included a waltz ending in a surprise on-stage acted proposal and the theatre singing and dancing along to YMCA. Congratulations to Sara and Maddie on winning prizes, and Qatt for taking first place with a soulful and moving rendition of ‘My Immortal’. I am so proud of all our participants’ performance pieces and the courage they exhibited in taking the stage. A huge thank you to Scott Beattie and Sabine Heise for their assistance, the Student Councillors for their help with setting up, our brilliant judges, and the amazing student participants who exemplified flourishing strengths of positive accomplishments and positive purpose. Amanda Bake Youth Worker PAGE 20 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
Year 8 Camp In Week 8 of Term 4, our Year 8 students attended camp at Ern Halliday Recreation Camp in Hillarys. During the three days, students engaged in a range of activities that built their teamwork skills and gave them the opportunity to apply character strength, including courage. These activities included beach team building, archery, the crate climb, the big swing, and Jacob’s Ladder. Thank you to all of the staff who attended camp to ensure the success of our students, and a massive congratulations to all students for following behaviour expectations and giving things a go. We are very proud of the way you represented our school and yourself during the camp. PAGE 21 |WARNBRO CHS ESC NEWS
