17.01.2022 Dear HSC Parents and Carers, Disability Provisions provide students who have special needs (e.g. anxiety, anxiety, diabetes, Irlen Syndrome, Crohn’s disease etc.) with practical support in the HSC Examinations. A student’s provisions for the HSC examinations are usually ongoing and a number of students have been receiving disability provisions in school examinations since Year 7. In order to be considered for Disability Provisions in HSC Examinations, applications have to be ...submitted by the school before the end of Term 1. Parents/carers need to ensure that medical documentation is submitted to Miss Pedemont, by Week 9 Term 1 2021. The application has to be completed online by the school and submitted with extensive documentation. Parents and carers are required to supply supporting medical documents from the relevant practitioner that confirms diagnosis of a particular existing condition. The diagnoses need to be current, less than 12 months old. Medical practitioners are also required to complete a ‘Medical Provisions’ form that can be collected by your student from Miss Pedemont in the Learning and Support staffroom (next to B9). Students are also required to complete their own declaration this form can also be collected from Miss Pedemont. Further information about the process can be found on the NESA website at: https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au//disability-provisio If you would like to discuss this further or have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Miss Pedemont on 02 6925 3611.

16.01.2022 2020 Year 12 School Leavers Wanted As you may have heard, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020/21 harvest seasons are going to be extremely challenging due to a shortage of labour usually provided by travelling workers. To assist our local producers to get their crops into markets and on shelves, Cozwine, the Commonwealth funded Harvest Trail provider, is seeking to attract school leavers to the harvest and provide them with accredited training and a COVID safe harvest expe...rience. Support with transport and local accommodation arrangements will also be provided. The Harvest Trail Experience will provide school leavers with an amazing opportunity to participate in the annual cherry harvest experience in the picturesque Young Region and Central West commencing immediately after the HSC and going through to Christmas. The cohort will receive a full industry orientation and accredited induction training with support to make this a memorable experience with their peers. This is a great opportunity for year 12 students to grab their friends have an adventure and make up for some missed experiences. They will earn money, build life skills, gain experience and travel to parts of the country they may never have seen. Students can maximise their experience by continuing on the NSW Harvest Trail and working across a number of seasons, gaining further skills and qualifications for at least 6 months. To help inform potential participants, there is a letter from Cozwine attached for further details and some links to showcase the harvest are provided below: https://youtu.be/FLxNNuyFvak https://youtu.be/n9PDAEHgs00 https://youtu.be/7bNmTGDwEwA (in French, but shows the lifestyle) A webinar is planned for the first week of October. For information prior to that, head to https://www.cozwine.com.au/harvest-trail-jobs/ or call Robert Millington on 02 7201 8888.
