Year 10 News 2011

Last Thursday, the 11th of August, an energetic and keen foursome of Year 10 students travelled with Mr Halsted to Tara Anglican Girls School to debate in a History Debate.

The team, consisted of:

1. Jack Cullen
2. Nick Findlay
3. Alex McRae
4. Will Flannery

The topic debated was “That Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War was a mistake.” The St Joseph’s team argued the much more demanding negative side of the topic and although Joeys put up a spirited argument surrounding the notion that condemnation in History is an arrogant and morally loaded construct, the Tara girls were more prepared and deserved their victory. The disappointment of the loss was softened by an excellent supper afterwards with the Tara debaters, their coach and supporters.
Although Joeys came second on the day, we can be still very proud of our debaters for their efforts!

Winning Edge Strategies

Ten Keys to Achieving Success

V Develop the ability to control the way you think in EVERY situation.

v Life is made up of 10% WHAT happens to you and 90% how you THINK about what happens to you.

v Everything in life happens for a reason. Always search out the LESSON and OPPORTUNITY in every situation.

v Take responsibility for your own life. Don’t blame other people or circumstances for where you are or how you got there.

v Every choice you make has consequences. It is your CHOICES that determine the RESULTS you get.

v Never be afraid to SUCCEED. Set high goals, believe in yourself, get motivated and achieve them.

v Never question your ABILITY. It’s your BELIEF in your ability that determines your success.

v Be PERSISTENT. Be persistent. Be persistent. If success were easy everyone would be doing it.

v The only limitations you have are those that you place upon yourself.

v Whether a person thinks they can, or whether a person thinks they can’t, they are always right.

“CREATING POWER THROUGH KNOWLEDGE”

Jobs for Students at the Royal Easter show

The Royal Easter Show runs from 14-27 April, 2011 to coincide with School Holidays.
Arizona seek outgoing, reliable, conscientious Year 10 & Year 11 students to vend ice-creams and soft drinks from mobile carts strategically located around The Showground.

There are also positions to work indoors at ARIZONA Steakhouse & Saloon, an American themed venue which serves up to 2000 customers daily over the course of the event. This involves food service, clearing plates, setting tables etc.

The Easter Show is the largest event in the Southern Hemisphere and it is a fun working environment in which students can work hard and be rewarded but also learn valuable life skills as part of a team. Many students who have worked with Arizona in previous years are looking forward to being a part of the team again in 2011.

The students will be well supervised. Lunch is provided and pay is based on a combination of a base hourly rate and a tiered commission structure which pays them for every drink or ice-cream they sell.

This bring to the fore, the best in very individual and there is a friendly competitive spirit which rewards the top selling vendor with a $ 1000 cash bonus at the conclusion of the two weeks event.

Interested parents and students are encouraged to discuss this opportunity further, call:
Peter Hofbauer phone 0438 577 507
Joanne Howarth phone 0419 50 50 20 or joanne@arizona.com.au

Looking forward to the year ahead.
