Seaview High Online Yearbook

Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

Principal’s Report

2020 – What a year it has been – certainly

one like no other in my experience! I’m sure

it will remain in our collective consciousness

for some time to come ….. and while we

can count ourselves fortunate to have

been in South Australia during a global

coronavirus pandemic, we cannot begin to

underestimate the impact of uncertainty.

Many of the usual activities and events we

enjoy throughout the school year were lost

to the virus: Sports Day, Pedal Prix, music

and dance competitions, performances, the

annual ski trip, Japanese sister school visits

and achievement assemblies.

However, whenever the state government

restrictions permitted, our students

continued to shine - with an abundance of

Zone and Knockout sports championships

won, and achievements in the arts

showcased online, instead of to a live

audience. This Yearbook highlights just some

of this year’s accomplishments. All of our

students are to be congratulated, they have

proven themselves resilient in the face of

the unexpected and have made it to the end

of a very difficult year!

I thank our amazing staff who worked

tirelessly to ensure quality learning could

continue despite two state lockdowns

and a raft of restrictions. I also thank the

Governing Council and our families for their

continued support of our school.

I would like to acknowledge Rhys Laurenson

and Sadie Gomer, along with everyone who

has contributed to the Yearbook, which

continues to capture the culture of our

school so well.

Who knows what 2021 will bring, but it

certainly promises to be another busy year,

with our ongoing building development,

new staff and increased student population.

Until then, I wish you a safe and healthy

holiday season and look forward to working

with you all again next year.

Year 8 Report

The Year 8s of 2020 started their high school

journey with energy and enthusiasm. Their

first few weeks were spent getting to know

their new classmates, teachers and their

way around the school. In Week 3 of Term 1

we took the cohort to Normanville for their

first Seaview camp. There, they developed

new friendships all while participating in

activities like snorkeling, fishing, billy-cart

making and team challenges. I hope that

each student has been able to take away

some memories from this experience that

they will hold onto for a lifetime.

As the year continued, the Year 8 students

became more confident in knowing their

way around the school and became

immersed in the community, with students

getting involved in Zone Sport, Knock-Out

sport, music ensembles, dance performance

teams and SRC. Just as they were starting

to feel more confident at high school,

our world starting changing at a pace

that was difficult to keep up with. As a

school, decisions were made to keep our

community safe and our Year 8s managed

all of these challenges with optimism and

resilience.

By Term 3 our year had started to feel more

settled, and the Year 8s focused on future

planning in their Pastoral Care lessons.

We were able to have guest speakers from

Flinders University share their experiences

and bust some of the myths that surround

the university pathway. They gave our

students helpful advice on career pathways

which then assisted them in picking subjects

for Year 9.

In Term 4 the Year 8s developed their

knowledge of the power of giving back; why

it is important and why we should practice

it. As a year level, each class planned a

giving back activity that was targeted to

support the school community. Ms Moss’

class thanked the tradesmen who have

been working to build us new spaces, Ms

Mitchell’s and Mr Durst’s classes wrote

letters of gratitude to their teachers, Mr

Fischer’s class held a whole staff morning

tea, Ms Dunn’s class wrote letters of

congratulations to the Year 12 students, Ms

Vella’s class held a ‘good vibes only’ lunch

time party, Ms Goldfinch’s class shared

positive affirmations on lockers and Ms

Wallace’s class helped weed the school

garden beds. Each activity had a meaningful

purpose which in turn allowed the students

to feel like they had contributed to

something bigger than themselves.

At the end of Term 4 we had a group of 30

Year 8s appointed to the role of Transition

Leader to work with Year 7 students during

their transition days. These students were

exceptional in their organisation, conduct

and support and were fabulous role models

for the Year 7 students.

During the year we have celebrated the high

achievements of many of the cohort in all

facets including academics, sport, the arts,

service to the school, and extra-curricular

activities. As nominated by staff for her

achievements throughout the year, the

Year 8 All Rounder for 2020 was awarded to

Holly Bannon.

We also held Student Voice nominations,

where students were asked to vote for their

peers in three categories. The recipients

were as follows:

Commitment to Learning:

Ella Clarke

Upholding School Values:

Antony Abbracciavento

All Rounder:

Kaiji Doubell

I have had a wonderful year working with

this group of Year 8s and I am proud to call

them Seaview students. I encourage them

to keep building their empathy, respect,

resilience and integrity as they move into

Year 9.

Year 9 Report

2020 began with a cohort of students

refreshed and energised ready to attack the

year. Unfortunately, Term 1 culminated with

us unable to have our Sports Day and Week

11 being completely cancelled for students

to allow teachers to develop an online

program that was to be delivered digitally

via WebEx.

Term 2 was supposed to start with a

completely online program but again 2020

had a surprise to dish out as students were

told in the second week of the school

holidays that they were to return to school.

As per the unknown nature of the time

Term 2 began with many students learning

from home but this number increased as

the term went on. We continued to lose

events including parent teacher interviews,

however, the resilience of our students

really shone through at this time which

became even clearer in Term 3.

Term 3 saw us return to a new normal.

Students focused on their future career

pathways and we were even able to have

external visitors from Flinders University

come into the school and present their

pathway program. Term 3 culminated in Year

9 students receiving the highest number

of Academic Excellence Awards, a great

achievement for a group that is not the

largest cohort of the school.

We finished the year with a focus on “Giving

Back to the Community”. Although there

were some restrictions that we had to abide

by, students continued to adapt and be

flexible in this new world that we are living

in. Observing students develop ideas and

focus on giving back to others was a real

highlight of 2020.

I look forward to watching the Year 9s move

into Year 10 in 2021 and continue their

journey. A special mention must be made

for their resilience and achievement in the

face of adversity. Care Group teachers also

deserve a very special mention as they

have worked tirelessly through this time

to provide their Care Groups with a high-

quality Pastoral Care Program. I would

personally like to thank Ms Moody, Mr

Lynn, Ms Threadgold, Ms Giannini, Ms

Galligani, Mr Conti, Mr Byrne and Ms Pan

for their superb efforts this year. A special

mention must also go to Ms King and Mr

LeCornu for providing support to the entire

year level. Your work behind the scenes

cannot be praised highly enough.

Heath Fitzpatrick

Year 9 Manager

Year 10 Report

What a year this has been for our Year 10

students. Taking over from Ms Roberts in

Term 4 I have, in this short time, watched

the students grow into young adults ready

for SACE and develop skills for life beyond

school. Year 10 students have continued to

show leadership, initiative, social awareness

and responsibility for their education.

In Term 2 students contributed to

Reconciliation Week and ‘Wear it Purple

Day’ while raising money for Puddle Jumpers

to help children in need.

Term 3 provided Year 10 students the

opportunity to select Year 11 subjects and

share their Learning Plans, as part of the

Senior Learning Studies course. In Pastoral

Care, students were actively involved in a

‘life hack’ activity to help develop future

skills relating to job opportunities, career

pathways, First Aid, finance and much more.

Term 4 provided the opportunity for

students to ‘give back’ to homelessness, CFS

(Bushfire) and Mental Health organisations

in our local and extended community

at Seaview High School. All students

participated and provided formative

information about their activity, designing a

range of actions, videos and posters which

will be displayed in 2021 in our Learning

Hub for students, staff and invited guests to

access.

The Year 10 students are heavily involved in

extra curricula activities including knockout

sport, dance and other school events. As

the Year Level Manager, I recognise that the

current Year 10 cohort are ready for SACE

and openly accept the opportunities of

Senior School next year. I would also like to

acknowledge the amazing work Care Group

Teachers and leaders have contributed

this year including Mrs Metevelis, Mr

Bellomarino, Mr Diassinas, Ms Mackowiak,

Ms Hughes, Mr Hurrell, Mrs Verstappen,

Mr Martin-Harris, Dr Tinsley and

Ms Klepper.

I would like to thank and wish the current

Year 10 students all the success in 2021 as

they embark on Year 11 and adventures

beyond.

Year 10 Manager

Year 11 Report

This year’s cohort has certainly experienced

a lot.

New subject rollouts, school renovations

and, of course, having to learn online during

a pandemic.

As such, the students have made the most

of every opportunity available but more

importantly, rose to any challenge they

had to overcome. Whether it be learning

new methods of communication and

collaboration via WebEx, or changes to their

day-to-day routines, one thing they made

sure to do was to ‘stay in touch’ during the

thankfully short fortnight of government

imposed learning from home. It was then

refreshing to see so many eager faces

return, after the two-week hiatus, to the

classroom setting once given the all clear.

If anything, the experience taught us the

importance of face-to-face interactions

between students and their teachers (from

a safe 1.5 metre distance of course) and

sense of place and space within a learning

environment.

In terms of events and activities, the cohort

made the most of their PERMAfied Pastoral

Care throughout the year by partaking in

group discussions and activities held by

various organisations and institutions. This

included reflecting on how to navigate

safely on today’s roads as future motorists

thanks to SA Metropolitan Fire Service’s

Road Awareness Program (RAP), but also

understand the various opportunities ahead

of them, beyond secondary schooling,

thanks to informative presentations from

Uni SA and Flinders University. Amongst

all this and their decisions relating to their

Year 12 pathways and course selection, the

cohort also celebrated Reconciliation Week,

Wear It Purple and World Kindness Day in

their own unique way.

Overall, in a year of stress and anxiety,

when the present seemed unstable and the

future uncertain the students maintained

their integrity, had empathy and remained

respectful and resilient to whatever

challenges they faced while washing their

hands to the tune of Happy Birthday.

Year 12 Report

2020 – What a year it has been! Resilient,

optimistic and adaptable are the best ways

to describe our Year 12 cohort this year.

For many this was to be their fifth and final

year at Seaview High School, the year to

celebrate, participate and consolidate. Sadly

COVID had different ideas and certainly

sent us many a curve ball, but the students

always rose to the challenge, taking

ownership, adapting and working with us to

ensure the year was still a success. Who can

forget this group arriving in 2016, with many

incredibly talented sportspeople, musicians,

dancers, artists and big personalities to

match? As their Year 8 Manager I remember

them well and am so proud to have watched

them grow into the amazing young adults

that they are.

We began our year with the Surviving

Year 12 Conference at Flinders Uni where

students learnt about alternative ways to

manage their stress and anxiety levels and

develop a study/life balance. Little did they

know what lay ahead and how much of what

they learnt on that day would actually prove

to be useful.

An amazing group of students worked

tirelessly to ensure that our formal would

happen one way or another. Tough

decisions, date and venue changes and a

level of uncertainty continued throughout

the year. Communication was to be an

important part of our year and these

students were certainly very good in this

area. On Friday 13 November we were

fortunate enough to have our formal go

ahead as well as our graduation on Monday

16 November, albeit with some restrictions

just in the nick of time – something I think

none of the staff and students will forget

and are incredibly grateful for.

As the year comes to a close, and we say

goodbye to the graduating class of 2020,

we know that these students walk away as

adults armed with the tools to help them

manoeuvre through whatever life throws at

them. I hope that they look back on 2020

with fond memories and reflect on the year,

acknowledging the skills they have learnt

around resilience and adaptability, as they

move into life beyond school to become the

best version of themselves that they can.

Class of 2020 you are awesome, don’t ever

forget that.

Virginie Bajut

Year 12 Manager

Throughout the year, our SRC Team had a

strong focus on improved school leadership,

student wellbeing, connecting with the

community and keeping our community

safe. The SRC group kicked off the year early

and decisively with a pancake fundraiser

and they continued to thrive for the rest

of the year. A group of representatives

attended the GRIP Leadership Conference

to discover how to: become better leaders

at a school, host successful events, improve

public speaking techniques, run productive

meetings and engage your team. This set a

fantastic foundation or the rest of the year,

however, COVID-19 created difficulty in

planning any further activities.

Where possible, the group helped to

plan activities to celebrate special days

such as Wear it Purple day, International

Women’s day, Reconciliation Week, World

Kindness day and Harmony day. The

team worked hard to create a ‘thank you

video’ for teachers at Seaview to show our

appreciation, especially in this tumultuous

year! We also organised a casual day

to raise money for a local non for-profit

organisation ‘Puddle Jumpers’ which raised

$1500 for a charity in need within our local

community.

The team then organised a staff lip-sync

battle to end the year on a positive note

with some light and laughter. The staff boy

band was a definite smash hit! All in all, the

year has been a challenge but the SRC was a

resilient group of leaders, working alongside

the school Presidents, Rhys Laurenson and

Casey Johnson as well as supporting teacher

Carol Davey. They did their best given the

unique circumstances and helped make an

impact in the community. We thank the

SRC team of 2020 for their hard-work and

dedication.

Student Leadership Report

Good evening and welcome to the

graduation ceremony of the 2020 senior

students. My name is Natalie, and I came to

Seaview as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed Year 8

in 2016.

I chose Seaview because of the music

program, and because of this I have

had many opportunities to perform and

practice my instrument. This included

many performing arts nights, livestreaming

performances and travelling to Balaclava

Eisteddfod with the Large Ensemble and

placing 2nd in the senior concert band

division. These have all been amazing

opportunities that I would not have received

if I had not come to Seaview.

Our school is such a unique school – and

while I have limited experience of other

schools I know Seaview is inclusive of all

people – I experienced this myself when I

arrived as the only Year 8 from my primary

school and was welcomed by everyone and

quickly developed a great friendship group.

Out teachers are passionate advocates for us

and support us in everything way they can….

even telling us dad jokes…….. Every Tuesday

morning – to lift our spirits when this year

has been so challenging in so many way.

Over the past 5 years there have been so

many changes to our school – it has grown

and developed that by the time my sister

finishes I’m pretty sure that there won’t

be any part of the school that hasn’t been

under construction.

Seaview has and continues to offer all

students many exciting opportunities, such

as various year level camps, excursions,

special guest visits, the ski trip and overseas

trips to Vietnam, Japan, Cambodia. These

experiences have all been incredible, and

we are so lucky to have been given these

opportunities.

Casting my mind back to Year 8, I remember

that our cohort was diverse, we all came

from different schools and with different

experiences. We spent that year worrying

about someone sneaking into our Minecraft

world and blowing up all of our hard work

and figuring out how to play games in class

without getting caught by our teachers.

Since then, a lot has changed. Many of us

are working casual jobs, can drive and are

even legally adults. We have spent the time

in-between changing friendships groups,

making new one, complaining about the

uniform, seeking out our teachers and

support staff, talking during tutorials and

learning….eventually, well some of us……

how to manage our time as assignments

started piling up.

Then came 2020 – so many highlights, our

ski trip, our very last sports day and the Year

12 final day breakfast… …..oh wait! No, they

were all cancelled due to COVID-19!

Not only were we completing the hardest

year of our schooling, but we had a lot of

additional challenges …….such as social

distancing, a little bit of online schooling and

the mental distress caused by a world-wide

pandemic.

This year really has confirmed, if there

was any doubt, just how extraordinarily

supportive our teachers are, and how willing

they are to go above and beyond to help us

succeed.

Personally, I would particularly like to thank

Mrs Prettejohn, Mr Fitzpatrick, and Ms

Yu, for putting up with me, and for helping

me get to the end of this year. On behalf of

the Year 12s, I would like to thank all of the

Year 12 teachers, as you have all truly gone

above and beyond this year. Ms Bajut also

deserves a special thank you, for deciding

to work with us again as year level manager

in Year 12 after experiencing us all in Year 8.

Similarly, all of the support workers at the

school deserve a huge thanks because I am

sure the Year 12s have visited them at a very

high frequency this year.

Lastly, thank you Year 12s for being my

classmates and friends for the last 5 years.

I am so proud of all we have achieved,

and I wish you all the best for your future

endeavours. You are all capable of doing

amazing things and I cannot wait to hear

about your amazing futures. Have an

amazing night and a fabulous life everyone!

Valedictorian Speeches

Good Evening,

I think it’s fair to say that a valedictorian

speech in the year of 2020 just wouldn’t be

quite right without the mention of a certain

virus getting around. On behalf of the Year

12 Graduates of 2020, I would like to thank

everyone who has made it here tonight

but also apologise to those who could not,

due to COVID-19 restrictions, and who are

instead watching through the live stream.

To everyone who helps run everything

behind the scenes, but specifically Ms

Tranter and Mr Stapleton, who makes

Seaview High School the incredible

community it is, and I know will continue

to be, we thank you. To the teachers who

literally dragged some of us by our feet to

the finish line, whilst also being genuine

human-beings, we thank you. To particularly

my remarkable teachers: Mr Fitzpatrick,

Ms Miller, Ms Zilm, and Ms Congdon, in all

seriousness, you have all truly made my final

year of schooling, with the help of a certain

pandemic, undeniably unforgettable, and for

that, I thank you, and I will always cherish

you.

To all our parents and caregivers who

have sacrificed and love us to levels only

attainable by you and you alone, we thank

you, and we love you. To my amazing

parents in the crowd, and my mum watching

from home, I sincerely love you. You know,

sometimes I really take for granted being

able to tell my parents that, and I know

that for some of my fellow graduates,

they cannot. And so, to those who are

ever so close to our hearts but sadly no

longer within our grasps, you are and

forever carried in your child’s heart, and

remembered ever so lovingly. Never miss an

opportunity to tell someone you love them.

On that note, to all my friends, I would like

to take this very public opportunity to tell

you all that I love you and I will deeply miss

seeing you all almost every day.

Finally, to all my fellow Year 12 graduates,

I hope you all succeeded in your future

endeavours and dare to chase your dreams,

no matter how daunting they may be. I

hope that we all remember that success

should not be defined by how much money

or fame someone has, but instead by the

connections and love we share with one

another. 2021, let’s go.

Year 12 Student

Valedictorian Speeches

Hello class of 2020, wow we did it…. What

a challenging year it has been. Over the

next few minutes, I’d like to take some time

to talk about what we’ve learned, what we

have to remember and recognise the people

we have to thank.

Over the last five years we have learned a

lot. A lot about each other, a lot about life

values but most importantly, a lot about

ourselves. This year was one that nobody

saw coming, changes were made, stress

was elevated, and emotions were lifted.

We learnt very quickly to adjust to changes

no one was expecting and that at the time,

no one knew how to manage. We should

all be very proud of the fact that we got

through this year’s challenges the way we

did; we have shown such resilience and a

willingness to never give up regardless of the

circumstances.

Next, I’d like to take a moment on behalf of

myself and my fellow graduates to thank the

people that have led us here today. To our

teachers, what would we do without you?

You are the foundation of who we are, and

who we will become. Thank you for always

believing in us, and never giving up. Thank

you for challenging us to think further, work

harder and dream bigger. Without you all

we wouldn’t have been able to achieve what

we have, so thank you. To our parents and

family, we have worked hard to succeed

because you showed us what hard work

and success looks like. We had motivation

because you were always there building us

up. We took advantage of every opportunity

because you gave us the confidence to do

so. Your loving words and unconditional love

gave us the security to know that we could

do anything we set our minds to, so thank

you. To the entire 2020 cohort we should

also thank and forever appreciate one

another. We should thank each other for

the support given, the connections we have

made and the lifelong friendships that will

never be forgotten.

Although this year didn’t go as planned,

we all still have a lot to remember. Our

numerous sports days which were filled with

smiles, the camps, our trip to Kingston park

at the end of year…… (unsure of what exact

year), the sporting competitions, excursions

and the bowling trips during PE. These are

only a few of the valuable memories we will

hold close to our hearts after leaving high

school. To all my fellow graduates ahead of

us is life, ahead of us stands all the years we

have to live and the experiences we are yet

to know. Here we stand full of freedom and

potential. Today is the first day of the rest

of our lives and so is tomorrow and each

day after that. The decisions we make each

day steer the course of our lives. To achieve

success, you must strive each day to move

forward and believe in yourself that you can

do and become whatever your heart desires.

As a final thought going forward, I’d like to

leave you with a quote from Henry David

“Go confidently in the direction of your

dreams. Live the life you have imagined”.

Thankyou

Building Report

In July this year, the administration hub

behind the Front Office was renovated into

a larger space to accommodate our growing

team. A wall was removed, more storage

was built in, lighting replaced and new

furniture installed. The administration team

were very accommodating about needing

to relocate during the build, and whilst the

space is busy and dynamic, it has provided

greater opportunities for team collaboration.

At the same time as the office renovation,

we took the opportunity to refurbish all

of the student bathrooms on the 2nd

floor across Pitman and the Learning Hub.

Historic documentation reveals not much

had changed in them since 1961! Almost all

of the student bathrooms across the school

have now received a face lift providing

access to clean, modern facilities that our

students highly value. The renovations have

been positively received with many students

commenting how they look and feel ‘like a

hotel’.

Building Report

With our continued enrolment growth and

the commencement of Year 7s in 2022,

Seaview was fortunate to be granted $16m

to renovate unoccupied areas and undertake

construction of new facilities.

Increasing pressure on our Arts program

realised our dream of a large, 300+ seat

state of the art theatre complex, with

adjoining rehearsal and green room spaces;

the face of which can be seen from Calum

Grove. This building is due for completion in

May 2021.

We also took the opportunity to demolish

an old metal work/tech building and replace

it with a modern, two-storey Creative

Design centre which will be accessible to

multiple learning areas. This space will also

accommodate our new canteen, which

will be equipped to manage our increasing

enrolments. Creative Design is set to open in

August 2021.

The 3rd Floor, a hot topic among students,

is also seeing a full renovation. The floor

will accessible by two stairwells, and a

lift will be installed for inclusive access.

Eight classrooms, several study booths,

kitchenette, and an open break out area will

be open for senior students in July 2021. We

are pleased to have been able to retain our

Tatami room which will also be open for use

in July.

Seaview Sport

SPECIAL INTEREST SPORT

The Special Interest Sport Program moved

into Year 11 whilst welcoming a large Year 8

cohort. The development of the SIS culture,

through the SIS Values Commitment, was

evident in both the classroom and on the

sporting field.

There was a large emphasis on the

development of the SACE curriculum for

Special Interest Sports in 2020. The students

took an active role in constructing their

curriculum in the senior years. Students

utilised support and knowledge from a range

of professionals and universities to create

assessment tasks and resources that will not

only help them achieve highly in Year 12, but

link strongly with careers in the industry.

Individually, there were some amazing

achievements from our SIS students. These

SOUTHERN ZONE SPORT

While Zone Sport took a forced hiatus for

portions of 2020, the participation in the

seasons that were able to go ahead was

pleasing. Throughout three abbreviated

seasons, Seaview HS nominated an

incredible 24 teams. Participation from a

wide range of students allowed Zone Sport

to further build the culture and add to the

focus on PERMA at Seaview.

We owe a large debt of gratitude to those

teachers and staff members who devoted

their time to make these experiences

possible.

Participation is the main goal of Southern

Zone Sport but it is worth acknowledging

our premiership teams and our MVPs.

STATEWIDE SCHOOLS

COMPETITION

With SIS moving into the senior school in

2020, the emphasis was to continue to

grow the standard of Statewide Schools

junior squads and introduce senior squads

consistently across a range of sports.

With increased nominations across the

school, extensive trials were a regular

feature of squad preparation. We would like

to thank Dave Harris (Touch SA), Graham

Sedunary (ABS Cricket), The Gillespie

Cricket Centre, Alex Cailotto and Matthew

Broadbent (SAFC), Bella Homes (SASI and

SA Volleyball Squad), Adam Proud, Georgie

Horjus (Adelaide Thunderbirds) and Lance

Everett (Tennis Solutions) for their input

is increasing the standard of team and

individual performance.

While there were many impressive team

performances in 2020, the Year 8/9 Girls

Volleyball results were exceptional. After

defeating Concordia College and Adelaide

High in the initial stages, the squad qualified

for the state finals at Brighton SS in Term 4.

Facing Volleyball specialist school, Heathfield

HS, in the first game, the girls performed

brilliantly to defeat one of the best schools

in Australia 2 sets to 0. They then clean

swept Renmark HS and Reynella East College

to book a state final appearance versus

Australia’s best volleyball school, Brighton

SS. While the girls were ultimately defeated,

they displayed skill and determination

throughout the 3 sets.

With most of the squad being Year 8

students, the squad will only improve in

2021.

Team performances of note

throughout 2020 were:

Year 8/9 Girls Badminton

- State Finalists

Year 8/9 Girls Volleyball

- State Finalists and 2nd in South Australia

Year 8/9 Girls Tennis

- Preliminary State Finals

Year 8/9 Boys Cricket

- Preliminary State Finals

Open Girls Volleyball

- State Final winners (Pool B)

Open Girls Netball

- State Finalists (Pool B)

Year 10 Boys T20 Cricket

- State Finalists (Pool A)

HIGH PERFORMANCE TENNIS

High Performance Tennis had another

successful year, considering the challenges

that have arisen in 2020. Due to the pending

re-surfacing of the school tennis courts

and the upcoming re-development of the

Tarnham Road courts in 2021, the HP Tennis

class utilised the first class facilities at the

Seacliff Tennis Club. These facilities have

provided the environment for head coach

Lance Everett to take the program to a new

level of professionalism, with many of our

athletes moving into the Division 1 and

Pennant tennis competitions. The Year 8/9

girls were able to make it through to Round

1 of the state Knockout Finals.

The topics explored in 2020 HP Tennis were

exercise physiology, sports nutrition, data

and feedback, sensor technology in tennis

and skill learning/coaching. The focus of HP

Tennis theory is to provide students with

the knowledge, understanding and cognitive

skills to approach Stage 1 and 2 Physical

Education successfully.

A highlight of 2020 was HP Tennis students

coaching Year 6 students from Seacliff

Primary School in Hotshot tennis over 2

x 1 hour sessions at Seacliff Tennis Club.

Students applied their learning of skill

learning/coaching concepts and strategies.

The level of engagement and leadership

shown in these sessions was remarkable,

and may well open future coaching

pathways for many of our students at

Seacliff Tennis Club, Tennis Solutions and

Master Tennis Academy.

We are looking forward to another

successful year in the High Performance

Tennis program in 2021. Exciting times

ahead!

In a year that has been like no other,

Seaview Pedal Prix entered its 7th year at

Seaview High School, with the introduction

of new branding for the program. In 2020

the program officially welcomed the new

Seaview HPV (Human Powered Vehicle)

Racing name and a fresh logo to coincide.

Unfortunately as a result of COVID-19,

and the restrictions enforced surrounding

community sport, we were unable to take

part in the AHPVSS (Australian Human

Powered Vehicle Super Series). However,

that didn’t stop us from achieving a lot in

2020.

At a time, when restrictions allowed

community sport to take place, we were

fortunate enough to be invited to race in

the Velodrome School Showdown Race. This

was a fantastic opportunity for our students

to get a taste of racing in 2020 and prepare

for 2021.

After months of planning we have finally

launched our new fundraising scheme,

involving advertising space along the fence

line on Seacombe Road. Local businesses

can now purchase a sign to promote their

business and rent the fence space for an

annual fee. This fundraiser has increased

our annual fundraising profits substantially

and has already enabled us to purchase a

brand new Trump Trike for 2021.

In addition to this great fundraising scheme,

we have continued our Cadbury Chocolates

Fundraiser and held a Bunnings BBQ at

Bunnings Marion. Thank you to all the

volunteers for their support in running the

BBQ in Term 4.

The Seaview HPV Racing Program continues

to grow at Seaview High School and in 2021,

we will again have 3 classes, including two

Year 9 classes and one Year 10 class (65 plus

students). As a part of the new building

upgrades at Seaview High School, the

Seaview HPV Racing Program will be getting

a brand new workshop. We are super

excited for this new space to be completed

in mid-2021.

Congratulations to the following Year 12

students who have graduated this year.

These students have been involved in our

program since Year 8 and we are extremely

thankful for all the hard work they have

put in during class and in after school

workshops. We hope to see them racing in

our community team in the future.

Looking towards 2021, we are super excited

to get back out racing. The AHPVSS has

proposed a provisional calendar, including

a race in Mount Gambier and two races in

Tailem Bend, followed by a race in Adelaide

(Victoria Park) and finishing the series off in

Murray Bridge. Be sure to follow our socials

to keep up to date with all things Seaview

HVP Racing in 2021.

Pedal Prix

It has been another highly successful year

in music at Seaview HS. Although we have

not been able to perform live to audiences,

students have been working hard to develop

their music production and songwriting

skills, learning about the many ways music

can be created using a combination of

technology and instruments. The DJ and

Music Production program has seen four

classes of Year 9s and a class of Year 10s

participate in production workshops through

Carclew’s Music at Work pilot program, and

has had students creating their own original

electronic music in a variety of genres.

Our Special Interest Music students have

been hard at work developing their craft

on instruments, participating in ensemble

rehearsals each week, solo performances

and composing original music. This year we

have had three soloists and one ensemble

enter into the Triple J Unearthed High

competition, two more performers than last

year! Congratulations to Sarah Grainger,

Evie Crennan, Chris Johnston-Wyly,

Cameron Schmidt, Zac Kannane, Liam and

Evan Williams. Each student who submitted

original music, either as a soloist or as a

band, ranked on the Triple J Unearthed

top 100 chart. With over 99,000 original

songs loaded onto this site, this is a major

achievement.

We would also like to congratulate Antony

Abbracciavento on winning the Australian

Society for Music Education Young

Composers award. Antony took out the

award for best Year 8/9 composition with

his Braille Minuet. You can watch Antony

perform his piece on our online showcase

on Seaview’s YouTube Channel via the

following link.

This year we continued to participate in the

Music at Works pilot program, where we

saw many amazing artists come into our

school and work with students on music

production, composition, instrumental

music, management, and vocal workshops.

A big thank you to the artists and the

Carclew team for providing so much to

our students in such a challenging year,

all students who were involved greatly

appreciated the opportunities.

As live performances have not been

possible this year we have explored other

ways to showcase our talents. This year we

collaborated with the media department

to record and edit the videos for our

online music showcase, we hope you had a

chance to enjoy all of the performances our

students worked hard editing, rehearsing

and performing for you. The students have

also collaborated across faculties to create

some amazing works including this joint

project between Music and Dance.

With such a challenging year we

congratulate all students who persevered

and participated in all of the music events

throughout the year. You have shown great

resilience and tenacity, and you should

be very proud of your hard work. We look

forward to holding many live performances

throughout 2021.

In 2020, 81 Seaview students have taken

advantage of the opportunity to enrol in

Vocational Training and Education (VET),

either through specific certificate courses,

or traineeships. With the completion of a

VET qualification a student has a significant

number of SACE credits awarded, which

supports SACE completion, but also

importantly assists them to develop skills for

post school pathways including University.

The VET sector is sometimes viewed as an

option only for those who do not choose

and/or qualify to go to University, but

certainly many Seaview students have

used their VET results as part of their

ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank)

and have gone on to pursue their career

pathway at University. For example there

are three students who graduated from

Seaview this year with a Cert III Individual

Support qualification and have already

been accepted in a 2021 Nursing/Midwifery

degree at Flinders. A number of other

students have also completed VET as part

of their schooling and have been accepted

into related degree courses, not to mention

students who gained traineeships, or have

enrolled in further VET courses.

In 2020 we facilitated two VET courses

including:

Certificate III Screen & Media (Animation)

Certificate III Rural Operations

(Animal Care and Husbandry)

As well as our own students, 40 students

from other schools have accessed these two

courses.

My thanks go to Brad Hurrell – teacher /

Steve Crowder – support (Screen & Media),

Teresa Robinson (Rural Operations), Kelly

Bond (VET Data) and all those teachers

who supported the students to complete

their school subjects, whilst they were also

engaged in their VET courses.

VET Coordinator

Cert III Rural Operations

(Animal Care and Husbandry)

This course has had a class of 20 students

who have gained knowledge, skills and

experience in handling a range of domestic,

wildlife and livestock animals, specifically:

• Dog obedience & grooming

• Pet first aid

• Animal welfare & procedures

• Administering medication

• Implement animal health control

programs

• Environmental considerations

• Respond to wildlife emergencies

• Rehabilitate wildlife

• Care of birds

• Capture, restrain, and move animals.

Over the course of the program, students

also researched nutrient requirements,

compared costs and feed types and planned

a nutritionally balanced diet for an animal

they were involved with. Then, the students

bravely presented their ‘Major Nutrition

Project’ to the rest of the group with many

showing excellent public speaking skills.

Each were assessed by their peers and were

provided with constructive feedback.

Other highlights included a number of

excursions to rural properties and Monarto

Zoo.

The majority of the students have now

completed their full Certificate III in Rural

Operations qualification which is a real

credit to each of them considering the

challenges they have faced this year.

Many thanks go to their Trainer, Teresa

Robinson and her support staff, Beck,

Wendy and Karen for their constant support

and follow up of students.

Vocational Education & Training (VET)

Certificate III in Screen & Media

(Game Art)

This year we have had all 22 students

complete their full certificate, an excellent

achievement. Throughout the year, the

students have learnt best practice for

following a creative pipeline similar to one

use in for visual effects, 3D animation, game

development and simulation. Students

worked with Autodesk Maya and Unreal 4

Game Engine to develop quality 3D artwork

for games, showcasing their creativity.

Through this they have built their technical

knowledge in order to maximise their

artwork within fun and engaging game

environments. They have learnt many

skills which are transferable to current and

emerging technologies such as simulation,

augmented reality and virtual reality.

Many students who have completed the

course have continued on studying an

Advanced Diploma or Bachelor of Media

directly linked with this course and I’m

looking forward to seeing where it leads

them. Congratulations to alumni Chantelle

Searle who is now working for Industrial

Light and Magic (The Mandalorian)
