LEADERS’ REPORTS
Welcome to our new receptions and also new students
Harley, Patrick, Chad, Taryn, Lili, Catie, Shannen
Tyson and their families. We hope you enjoy your time
at Tumby Bay Area School.
Week 2 in the Senior School has resulted in some
fantastic learning occurring. I have loved hearing
about some of the innovative teaching ideas staff at
our school are delivering, students fully engaged in
their learning and willing to share and utilize their
knowledge.
There are plenty of events on our calendar already
and this term looks to be jam packed, it is wonderful to
see so many opportunities presented for students at
TBAS. On the flip side, they will need to be working
extremely hard within lesson times to ensure
everything is covered.
I am looking forward to our ‘Meet and Greet’ night to
welcome all parents to the school year, ensure our
lines of communication are open and outline some of
the important aspects in 2015 for the Senior School.
Teachers are available for any questions on subjects
taught and this night is a great way to share
expectations and information with each other.
Our most exciting news for the Senior School is the
amazing Journey Through Leadership program that
Lesley Warren has successfully received funding for
and is implementing throughout the year. The first
aspect of this is a leadership camp and students will
be bringing information for this home today. We can’t
wait to share the fun and learning journey with our
students in years 10-12!

OSHC
OSHC educators have been
discussing with children what they
would like to do at OSHC this term.
Children have given us many ideas
and views on how they would like
to spend their time at OSHC.
The Week 3 program is full of their
ideas and interests that they gave
us. Through the term we will
incorporate the
children's ideas into all programs
and expand on this to facilitate
children's learning and
experiences.
As parents if you would like to
share with us more about your
child's interests, please feel
welcome to speak to any
OSHC educator on the night you
pick up your child, we would enjoy
learning more about your children
from you

Catch Up with an Old Scholar
Interviewed by Shane Masson
Tumby Bay Area School has a proud tradition of students completing their
secondary schooling, achieving their SACE and then travelling a range of
pathways to achieve success in the wider community. Every fortnight we
will meet up with an old scholar to see where their journey has taken them
and discuss how their experience at Tumby Bay has assisted with their
development.
Rebecca Roberts (Pugsley)
Rebecca attended TBAS from 1995-1999 to complete year 8-12 after
attending primary school at Ungarra. She willingly took on numerous
leadership roles whilst at school including being house captain for
Pintaboo for 3 years (1997-99), school captain for EEPASSA in 1999,
SRC leader in 1998 and won inter/senior medals during swimming
carnivals and sports day. She was actively involved within the community
playing netball for Eyre United and Eyre Peninsula, tennis and youth
group.
Now aged 33, she reflected on her time at TBAS and was very happy with
her decision to stay at Tumby Bay to complete her senior secondary
Sports Day 1997
schooling after being given the option to move to another school.
Swimming Carnival Rebecca highlighted the community feel of the school, being able to do all
the subjects she needed to do in year 12 and staying within the
1998
community (as she has never been back living permanently since) assisting her with her decision.
She also enjoyed participating in sport within the school and community.
In year 12 she studied Maths 1, English, PE, Geography and Biology. After
Rebecca completed year 12, she took a gap year as a Rotary Exchange
student for 12 months in USA. When she returned to Australia she moved to
Adelaide where she attended Flinders University studying a double degree in a
Bachelor of Health Science and Nursing. She is now employed as a cardiac
specialist registered nurse in Adelaide. Rebecca is happily married with 4
children aged 9, 7, 4 and 16 months with her biggest challenge juggling her
career with her family commitments.
Her advice for students at TBAS is that university is not the only option as
other people she knows have been successful in their careers without going
down this option. Pursue what you are interested in, do what you enjoy, do
what you love and you will get the rewards. Finally, Rebecca valued the
community feel at Tumby Bay Area School which affected her family’s decision
to move suburbs in Adelaide, so her children can attend a state school with
similar values.

2015Swimming Carnival
The Inter-House Swimming Carnival for students in Years 4 to 12 will be held FRIDAY, 13 FEBRUARY, at the Cummins Pool, with
buses leaving at 9.00 a.m. and returning by 3.00 p.m.
The Carnival commences at 9.45 a.m. and students are asked to be present 15 minutes prior to this if arriving in private transport.
Parents are welcome to attend. During the day, breaks will be taken so that students and members of the public can have a swim. Please
note that there will be no teacher supervision for the toddlers’ pool, except during the Sub-Junior events and parents are asked to
supervise their own children in this area. Students attending the carnival will be expected to remain on the grassed area in their House
groups. A family swim may be enjoyed after the Carnival when the pool is open to the public.
Students and parents will be able to buy their lunch from the Pool’s Canteen as in the past. Parents may prefer to bring a packed or picnic
lunch. The canteen will provide a range of healthy eating options. Students and parents are reminded to bring bathers (Student/Parent
annual Relay), sun protection gear and hats. We also ask that parents provide umbrella or beach shelter if possible. We would like to
provide as much shade as possible in the House areas.
School classes will continue for those younger students not involved in the carnival (R-3). We look forward to an enjoyable day of
competition.
