MESSAGE FROM THE ACTING PRINCIPAL
Congratulations;
To the VCE Unit 4 Business Management students who
performed to a very high level in their most recent
School Assessed Coursework Task. Sezgin Karali, Adam
Mohammed-Mokhtar and Cem Elevli all achieved an
‘A+’ for this task. While Emray Dilbaz and Emrah Dilbaz
also achieved an ‘A’ for the task as well. Well done to all
of these students as it was not an easy task and this is a
great performance.
Secondary School Parent Teacher Interviews
Secondary Parent Teacher Interviews are on Thursday
17th September in the last week of this term. School
concludes at 1pm on this day for secondary school students only; the interviews begin at 2pm and finish at
7pm.
Forms have been distributed to students to pass onto
parents about this very important evening. In order for
students to achieve their potential it requires a team
approach and effective communication between the
students, parents and teachers. Parent-Teacher Interviews can greatly assist with this process! If you are unable to attend the Parent-Teacher interviews then
please inform the office so that all relevant teachers are
informed and aware of this. If necessary they can get in
contact with parents or possibly reschedule another
appointment to discuss any important areas or concerns.
Secondary students will need to organise times to meet with their teachers on behalf of their parents.
2016 Secondary School Scholarship Applications
2016 Secondary School Scholarship applications open on Friday the 11th of September. The process will be similar to
that followed in previous years. Students who are performing to an above satisfactory level academically and who
meet the general expectations of the college on a consistent basis are encouraged to view the application form and
scholarship requirements to see if they would like to apply. Scholarships are open to students from Year 7-12 in
2016. If you are planning on applying then please make sure that you are very organised because it does take time
and effort to go through the scholarship process. Information about the scholarship process will be available for
collection from Mr. Campbell from Friday the 11th of September. Best of luck to all individuals who make the effort
to apply!
Toilet Facilities
All students are reminded of the need to treat the school bathroom facilities appropriately. If there is any damage
or mess made in the toilets then it impacts upon other students as well as school staff. It demonstrates a lack of respect for others and is obviously very unhygienic. In the secondary school toilets in particular this is not acceptable,
as these students are more educated about hygiene and should simply know better. When students leave the bathroom in an unhygienic and messy state there is generally some investigation to find out who is responsible. If a person is found to have left the toilets in an inappropriate manner when they should know better, then they will be
disciplined.
An important reminder in regards to bathroom facilities; Unless given permission by a staff member secondary students are not permitted in the primary toilet facilities, just as primary students (with the exception of the Grade Sixes) are not permitted in the secondary toilet facilities.
TERM 3 VCE HOLIDAY CLASS TIME TABLE
Monday September 21st - Friday October 2nd 2015
These classes are always important and very beneficial for all students. Classes will count towards attendance as per
scheduled normal classes. Students who are unable to attend should discuss their valid reason for not attending
with the appropriate teacher prior to the class. School uniform is obviously not required and students are permitted
to bring their mobile phones. Please bring all of the required materials. Teachers are running these classes to ensure
that students have every opportunity to achieve their potential. They are essential for all of our students as they
finish up their coursework and commence examination preparation.

Mt. Hira College is conducting an Information
Evening for current Year 9 students and their parents. It will be held in the Library on Tuesday the
8th of September, 2015 from 5.30 to 7.00 pm.
The purpose of this event is to outline the structure of the Year 10 program offered at Mt. Hira
College and to explain the course selection process for 2016. This includes an overview of the
VCE courses that will be available for those students that meet the entrance requirements as
well as advice on planning for Years 11 and 12.
The Work Experience Coordinator will provide
information about the Year 10 Work Experience
Program and the process that students need to
follow in order to complete this successfully.
It is essential that parents and students attend the Information Evening in order to ensure that students make
informed decisions regarding their Year 10 program and
VCE course selection.
Students who attend the event will be enrolled
into the courses of their choice, provided that
they meet the entrance requirements. Students
who do not make an effort to attend the event
will be allocated into courses at the discretion of
the Senior School Coordinator and Principal.
Thank you to those students who already returned the forms for this important evening.
These forms were due to Mr. Stock by Thursday
the 3rd of September, 2015.
We look forward to meeting you on the evening
of Tuesday the 8th of September.
Mr Andrew Stock
Middle School Coordinator
PRIMARY NEWS
On Monday 31st August it was Character Dress-Up Day.
The students were to come dressed up as their favourite book character and bring a gold coin donation for
the day. The students began in their classrooms taking
photos and then we proceeded to the Gym for an assembly and parade. There were so many amazing costumes and I would like to take this opportunity to thank
the parents for creating and dressing their child in great
costumes and to the students who embraced this day
and came dressed up. I would also like to thank Ms
Laura Andreadis for organising the event. In the afternoon the students were engaged in some multi-aging
literacy activities which the students really enjoyed.
There are many photos which are displayed at the moment on the television which is located in the primary
corridor which I encourage parents to have a look at.
Dress-Up Day Recounts
Yesterday was dress-up day. I dressed up as Tinkerbell.
In the afternoon my teacher put us in groups. I was in
number 2 group. The first activity I did was with Miss
Bretag. We listened to two stories. They were called
“There was an old Lady who Swallowed a Meerkat” and
“We’re going on a Croc Hunt”. Then we sang a “Sailor
went to Sea, sea, sea” and “If you’re Happy and you
Know it”. After that we made goo. We put glue in the
bowl. Then we put glitter in. Then we mixed it. After
that we put hot water in. Then we had goo. After that
we made book marks. We had cardboard. On the cardboard I wrote my name. I then drew a butterfly and a
heart. I also drew a rainbow and a lolly pop. Then we
went back to our classrooms. I had lots of fun.

Today there are some select students who are going to
Ross Reserve to compete in the annual district athletics
competition. I would like to wish these students the
best of luck and encourage them to do their best. I
would like to thank Ms Alana Stone, Ms Natasha Padayachee, Ms Saadet Duman and Ms Zerrin Balkaya
who are going to assist and support the students today.
Last Friday the Grade 2s went to Ceres and Wednesday
2nd the Grade 1s went to Ceres to learn more about
their topic of sustainability and the 4Rs. During their
excursion they were involved in three activities which
included; paper making, recycle sort and relay and
worms and composting. The students had a really enjoyable day.
Friday 4th September the Grade 5 & 6s are going to visit
the State Library and the Immigration Museum where
they will continue to develop an understanding about
immigration and its effects on Australia.
Woolworths
Can I keep encouraging parents who shop at Woolworths to continue to bring the earn and learn stickers
to school. This is greatly appreciated by the school. I
would also like to thank Grandparents, extended family
members and friends of our school community who are
also contributing stickers and giving them to different
families to bring to school. I will inform you when this
program is finishing and please keep up the support.
Coryn Bretag
Primary Coordinator
Yesterday we had to do three activities. We got to
dress up and I dressed up as Elsa. You could dress up as
anything from a book. The first activity was making a
bookmark. My bookmark looked like a giraffe in a bush.
We then did music with Miss Bretag and she read a story, “There was an old lady who swallowed a meerkat”.
Then we went to the prep room to make frozen goo
sparkle. We read a story about it first. Then we went
day. I had a really great time.

Grade 1
On Wednesday the 26th August a team of Year 7 & 8 boys went and
played in the Bachar Houli Cup held at Richmond’s home ground, Punt
Road Oval. We played three teams, losing the first game and coming back
to win the final two games. We finished second overall in the first round.
Everyone in the team played exceptionally well. We got to meet Bachar
Houli, get a photo with him and have him sign our school ball.

30 AĞUSTOS ZAFER BAYRAMI
26 Ağustos 1071 Malazgirt Zaferi ile 26 Ağustos 1922`de başlayıp, 30 Ağustos Zaferi ile neticelenen
büyük taarruzun Türk Tarihi`nde dönüm noktasını teşkil ettikleri ve tarihimizin seyrini değiştirdikleri şüphe
götürmez bir hakikattir.
Tarih sayfaları kahramanlıklarla dolu olan Türk Ordusu, ilkbaharda sefere çıkar, Ağustos ayında
düşmanla karşılaşır, kısa zamanda kesin bir zaferle kıştan önce geri dönerdi. Bu yüzden Ağustos ayı Türk`ün
tarihinde zaferler ayı diye geçer.
Bu kutsal ayda 24`e yakın büyük zaferlerimizi bir değerlendirmeye tabii tutacak olursak, bunların
arasında “Vatan yapan Malazgirt ile, Vatan kurtaran 30 Ağustos Başkomutanlık Meydan Savaşı” sonuçları
bakımından çok önemlidir. Orta Asya`dan göç eden Atalarımız 26 Ağustos 1071 Malazgirt Zaferi ile
Anadolu`yu ele geçirerek kendilerine yurt edindiler. Böylece cihan devleti haline gelmesi için ilk adım
atılmış oldu. Daha sonra Osmanlı Beyliği koskoca bir imparatorluk haline geldi. Osmanlı Devleti Gerileme
döneminde kaybettiği toprakları geri almak umuduyla , Birinci Dünya Savaşı`nda Almanlar`ın yanında yer
aldı. Almanlar savaşı kaybedince Osmanlı Devleti`de yenilmiş sayıldı ve düşmanlar yurdumuza girdi. M.K.
Atatürk 19 Mayıs 1919`da Samsun`a çıkarak Kurtuluş Savaşını başlattı. Bu savaş üç yıl sürdü. 26-30Ağustos
1922 tarihinde yapılan Başkomutanlık Meydan Savaşı,Türk`ün dünyaya bir istiklal ve hürriyet reçetesi
yazdırıp, kasasına koyduğu dokuz asırlık tapuyu almaya gelenlere verilen ağır bir derstir.
30 Ağustos ayyıldızlı bayrağımıza uzanan ellerin kırıldığı gündür. Bu zafer kalbi imanla
dolu,canından çok sevdiği vatanı için çarpışıp ölüme meydan okuyan kahraman ordumuz ve onun mimarı
Mustafa Kemal ve silah arkadaşlarının milletiyle bütünleşerek meydana getirdiği destan içinde destandır.
30Ağustos hasta adamın dişleri dökülüp, tırnakları söküldü zannedilen ve ateşle imtihan edilen O cihan
aslanının silkinerek tekrar ayağa kalktığı gündür.
30 Ağustos zaferinden sonra 9 Eylül 1922`de düşmanlar İzmir`de denize dökülerek Kurtuluş Savaşı
tamamlandı ve düşmanlar yurttan atıldı. Daha sonra Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti kuruldu.Atatürk
Cumhuriyet`i kurduktan sonra,yaptığı İnkılaplar ile Türkiye`yi çağdaş uygarlık düzeyine taşıdı.Türkiye
Cumhuriyeti ilelebet sonsuza kadar yaşayacaktır diyen Atatürk, vatanımızı çok güvendiği Türk gençliğine
emanet etmiştir.
Vatanın savunulması ve kurtarılması için, canlarını seve seve veren bütün şehitlerimizi birkez daha
minnetle anıyor ve Allah`tan rahmet diliyor; Bu vesile ile Türk toplumunun 30 Ağustos Zafer Bayramı`nı
canı gönülden kutluyor,sağlık,mutluluk ve esenlikler diliyorum.
