Once again our community of busi- nesses and families supported the evening with donations and special prizes. Many thanks to everyone for their generous and ongoing support. Congratulations and best wishes to our graduating students. We wish them well for their future and hope they take many positive and beneficial memories with them from NHS. A special thank you to Ms Reichstein, Ms Gebert, Ms Reinke, the Year 12 Home group teachers and the many staff involved for their preparation and planning for the evening. See pages 4, 5, 6 & 7 of this newsletter for a full list of award winners. WINE CENTRE DINNER Our recent fundraising dinner was a great success. Over $6000 was raised and we al- ready have plans in place to install new cool water drinking fountains and seating for students. In conjunction with the SRC we are also looking at the purchase of air- conditioning for use in the halls and wine centre. The very generous donations by community businesses made for an exciting and productive set of auctions. With a great band, food and wine available the evening was enjoyed by over 80 people. Many thanks to Peter Shute and the organising committees, Karen Underwood and Jeanette Hanckel for their work on the auction items and the students involved in set up and serving on the night. Please see the full list of companies/individuals who kindly donated towards the auc- tions on page 6 of this newsletter. YEAR 8 IN 2016 PARENT INFORMATION An information evening was held last night for current Year 7 students, carers and par- ents. The event provided an opportunity to present information about the ongoing transition program, arrangements for next year and how our new Bring Your Own De- vice (BYOD) system will work. It was great to see the many new families that are joining our school as their child sets out on the exciting, challenging and rewarding journey through secondary school. Thanks to Mr Moresi, Ms Barclay and Mr Barkley for their preparation and presentations. REMEMBRANCE DAY ASSEMBLY We recognised the sacrifices and commitment of our armed services personnel at an assembly on Wednesday morning. The ceremony was conducted at our memorial wall and provided us with an opportunity to acknowledge the local members of our community that have lost their life in the service of our country. It also provided us with the time to reflect and remember the many sacrifices that are made to protect the wonderful life we have in Australia. Our thoughts are with the families most closely af- fected by the events of war and conflict. Neil White

IN MEMORIUM
Noel Westley Bauer (30/12/1941 – 24/10/2015) came to Nuriootpa High School from Whyalla in 1973. He was offered the position of Deputy Principal and remained in the role until he retired in 1997. He was a great school administrator and organiser, bringing these skills to the fore under a suc-cession of principals namely; John Roberts, Rob Hill, Rosemary Law, Brenton George and Pat White. Noel was a passionate teacher of Chemistry and over the years inspired many students to share his passion and undertake further studies, with many becoming Winemakers. He was also the consummate musician whose contribution to NHS music was substantial. Noel loved playing the tenor and baritone saxophones in the concert band and stage band and was a member of the Nuriootpa Town and the Leader KGB Big Band. In his early days at NHS he also sang in the four part choir. Few people knew that he was also a skilled drummer. When he retired from teaching in 1996, Noel was able to marry his love of red wine with his passion for Chemistry, by taking up a job in the Penfold labs. Noel was held in high regard by the staff and students at Nuriootpa High School and the entire Barossa Valley Community. He will be remembered by many for his excellent administrative skills, contagious passion for Chemistry, for his firm behaviour management and love of music. An amazing educator, Noel was highly respected by all and will be sadly missed. Natalie Axo
