A key ingredient in the “magic of Macintyre” is the student body. Our school is blessed with students who want to get involved, who work well with others and who get on well with their teachers. Student leadership is a stand out feature of this school and our senior students are immensely proud of their role in setting the high standards and modeling these standards in their daily behaviour.

Understanding mathematics can be a hurdle for many students. Lack of confidence can also be a problem. Now thanks to the recent installation of the Interactive Classroom at Macintyre High School student involvement in mathematics is being approached from a different angle. Instead of the squeak of chalk on the board there is now the quiet hum of the computer hardware, video camera, plasma TV screen and smartboard starting up at the beginning of each lesson.

Enthusiastic music student and saxophone player Mikaela Mepham was again selected to participate in the New England Regional Band camp recently. A very excited Mikaela was selected from this camp to represent the region in the State Wind Band. This makes it two years in a row for Mikaela and we are all delighted to see her hard work and high level of musical competence paying dividends again.

I am sure parents who read glowing reports of Macintyre High School ANZAC Day ceremonies must compare my comments to their own school experiences and wonder why we make such a fuss. I have worked in many schools over my 40 years of teaching and I have not seen anything to even approach the quality and intensity of our ceremonies.

Jake Ryan and Eli Kimmince were the powerhouses behind the ‘Shave for a Cure’ which saw a number of the senior boys delocked. Jake, Eli, Shaun Allen and Hugh Williams were all brave enough to front up and loose their hair. Eli stoically endured leg waxing which looked incredibly painful. His work donated $200 toward the cause so hopefully it was worth the suffering .

Make sure you mark Friday 28 March down in your calendar. The place to be at 6.00 pm on Friday night is at Macintyre High School. Last year, the food was just simply delicious. Parents assure me that the prices we charge are way under the cost of a traditional take-away meal for a family and the tastes are sensational!
