Kale Springs into Gymnastics Championships![]() Year 7 student Kale Hensler represented Moruya High School in the Men’s Artistic Championships at the NSW Combined High School Championships (CHS) on 6th - 8th August at Hunter Sports Centre, Glendale. Whilst artistic gymnastics is such a demanding sport both physically and mentally, Kale placed extremely well for the South Coast Region – Division D, with the following apparatuses:- 2nd in Floor, 3rd in High Bar and Pommel, 4th in Parallel Bars, and 5th in Rings and Vault. Kale also placed 4th overall in his division after competing against students from high schools across the state of New South Wales. Well done Kale, a fantastic result at state level. Moruya High welcomes Nienish, Praline and Pretty![]() Ruby Park Stud have generously loaned the ag department these three lovely heifers. They will join Louis and Baguette in training and prep for the show circuit. The Show Team have already started work on breaking the girls in.
Book Week Sneak Peek![]() Moruya High student Marni Batchelor is currently completing work experience in our school library and has been an integral part in setting up our book display for Book Week. Library staff admire the creative talents and imagination Marni has shown whilst working in the library. Book Week 2019, which is conducted by the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) will take place between 17th - 23rd August and the theme is ‘Reading is my Secret Power’. Library staff have been busy organising activities for all staff and students. Show Week for Southern Stars 2019 – COME ALIVE![]() After almost a year of preparation and many months of rehearsals, Southern Stars 2019 COME ALIVE is in the final and most exciting week – show week! Tell Them From Me 2019![]() This term, our school is taking part in the Tell Them From Me student survey. The survey will provide us with valuable feedback on what our students think about school life, how engaged they are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. Schools in Australia and around the world have used the Tell Them From Me survey to help them improve. The survey is completed on-line and is run by an independent research company, The Learning Bar, which specialises in school-based surveys. Staff in schools will not be able to identify individual students from their responses. To ensure confidentiality, participating students will receive a unique username and password. Where fewer than five students respond to a question, the results will be suppressed. The survey typically takes 30 minutes or less to complete and will be administered by the school during normal school hours. Once the surveys are completed by students, reports are prepared and in most cases are available to schools within three business days. This survey will help our school better understand how to improve student wellbeing and engagement. It will help the school identify what works to improve student outcomes. Participating in the survey is entirely voluntary. Your child will not take part if either you or your child do not wish. If, during the survey, your child is uncomfortable, he/she can choose to stop the survey at any time. The majority of questions in the survey can be skipped. If you do not want your child to take part in the survey, please complete the form your child is bringing home and return it to the front office Friday August 23rd. More information about the survey and the research is available in English on the CESE website: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-parents Moruya High School Enews app![]() We are excited to announce that Moruya High School has a School Enews app that can be downloaded from the Apple Store ( https://bit.ly/MHSiOS ) or Google Play ( https://bit.ly/MHSandroid ).
