1367 Friday 26 May 2017 Dear Members of the Loyola Community, Over the last fortnight there have been a number of events that have taken place in the life of our College community and I am delighted to be able to share these in this newsletter. Girls Retreat On Friday 12 May, a sample of female students and several staff members attended our first Girls retreat. The retreat evolved from a Girls’ Action Research Project which commenced in 2017 to explore ways we can connect girls with their learning and the school community. The aim of the retreat was to encourage girls to reflect on building friendships, breaking down barriers and creating a strong girls’ support network at Loyola. The girls discussed body image, and looking beyond the surface and came away with the motto “more than just a face.” Staff involved in the Action Research Project are now considering ways this message can be spread to all female students. Concurrently, we have a Boys’ Action Research Project running, which is exploring what it means to be a young man at Loyola and in the wider community. Overnewton vs Loyola Football Match The annual night football match against Overnewton took place on Wednesday 17 May. The Years 7 – 9 Girls made their Australian Rules debut at Keilor Park football ground. They girls were highly competitive and finished strongly, but were outplayed by Overnewton. It was great to see the girls on the field, demonstrating their capacity to play football. Female football is continuing to grow in Australia and it was wonderful to be able to provide our girls with the opportunity to play this traditionally male sport. The ACS is currently considering ways in which girls’ football can be incorporated into our weekly sport program. The senior boys’ team enjoyed a ten point victory over Overnewton. The game was swift and intense, with both sides striving for a win. The team was ecstatic after the match. The boys showed great pride in their school. Their school spirit was evident. Congratulations to Captain Michael Montesano for his gracious victory speech and Best on Field, Sam Philp. I thank Mr John Baxter and his team for organising this wonderful opportunity for our students. Languages Week Last week we celebrated our annual Languages week, which was filled with cultural activities. Students and Staff were given the opportunity to try their luck at Indonesian, Italian and French quizzes. We had visits from both the Italian Gelati and French Crepe vans. The culmination of the week was the Year 10 Languages Banquet where students decorated their tables according to culturally based themes and designed menus to complement these themes. I had the

1367 Friday 26 May 2017 Dear Members of the Loyola Community,

Over the last fortnight there have been a number of events that have taken place in the life of our College community and I am delighted to be able to share these in this newsletter.

Girls Retreat On Friday 12 May, a sample of female students and several staff members attended our first Girls retreat. The retreat evolved from a Girls’ Action Research Project which commenced in 2017 to explore

ways we can connect girls with their learning and the school community. The aim of the retreat was to encourage girls to reflect on building friendships, breaking down barriers and creating a strong girls’ support network at Loyola. The girls discussed body image, and looking beyond the surface and came away with the motto “more than just a face.” Staff involved in the Action Research Project are now considering ways this message can be spread to all female students.

Concurrently, we have a Boys’ Action Research Project running, which is exploring what it means to be a young man at Loyola and in the wider community.

Overnewton vs Loyola Football Match The annual night football match against Overnewton took place on Wednesday 17 May. The Years 7 – 9 Girls made their Australian Rules debut at Keilor Park football ground. They girls were highly competitive and finished strongly, but were outplayed by Overnewton. It was great to see the girls on the field, demonstrating their capacity to play football. Female football is continuing to grow in Australia and it was wonderful to be able to provide our girls with the opportunity to play this traditionally male sport. The ACS is currently considering ways in which girls’ football can be incorporated into our weekly sport program.

The senior boys’ team enjoyed a ten point victory over Overnewton. The game was swift and intense, with both sides striving for a win. The team was ecstatic after the match. The boys showed great pride in their school. Their school spirit was evident. Congratulations to Captain Michael Montesano for his gracious victory speech and Best on Field, Sam Philp. I thank Mr John Baxter and his team for organising this wonderful opportunity for our students.

Languages Week Last week we celebrated our annual Languages week, which was filled with cultural activities. Students and Staff were given the opportunity to try their luck at Indonesian, Italian and French quizzes. We had visits from both the Italian Gelati and French Crepe vans. The culmination of the week was the Year 10 Languages Banquet where students decorated their tables according to culturally based themes and designed menus to complement these themes. I had the

challenge of judging this fiercely competitive task. The aim of this week is to engage students in Languages. Learning a language provides opportunities for students to connect with others. At Loyola we strive to instil in our students a strong intercultural perspective, which gives them a greater understanding of the globalised world that we live in.

Music Camp The instrumental music students took the bus to Ferny Creek Lodge, Healesville on Friday 19 May for the annual Music Camp. I had the pleasure of visiting the camp on Friday afternoon.

It was wonderful to hear the range of ensembles preparing for the mid-year music concert. Thank you to Mr Nick Williamson, Director of Music for his organisation of this musical opportunity.

Chisholm House Celebrations On Monday 22 May, the Chisholm students celebrated their annual feast day. This commenced with a reflection in the chapel and was followed by a complimentary morning tea at recess. Chisholm House is named after Caroline Chisholm, a progressive 19th Century humanitarian known for her involvement with female immigrant welfare in Australia. Caroline worked with the poor and marginalised convicts and is a great role model for our students, particularly in an Ignition school where we always look for ways to serve those on the fringe.

Funding Changes in Catholic Schools Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of information in the media about the Turnbull Government’s Quality Schools funding package and its impact on Catholic school fees.

The package proposed by the Government is a 10-year funding model, which will see significant changes to how Catholic schools are funded in the future.

Like the majority of Catholic schools, our school aims to be open and accessible to all families seeking a Catholic education. That means we aim to be affordable as well.

One of the big impacts of the Turnbull Government’s funding package is that Catholic school fees will have to rise.

This won’t happen tomorrow, but over the next 10 years, cuts to school funding will mean fees will gradually increase.

Catholic education leaders across Australia have been working hard to make sure the Government and the Opposition understand that our students will be disadvantaged by the funding model.

Everything is being done to make sure the Turnbull Government’s funding package does not become law.

That’s where our school community comes in. In coming weeks, parents are asked to keep an eye out for information forwarded by the College explaining how parents can add voice to help prevent unreasonable fee increases.

All members of our school community need to step up. Unreasonable fee increases are only a possibility at this stage – not a certainty. Parents in nearly 500 other Catholic schools in Victorian have been asked to get ready and join the campaign. With parental assistance, we can make sure our politicians in Canberra are listening to Catholic schools.

Pastoral letter on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide. In this edition of the Ignatian we publish the Victorian Bishops’ pastoral letter on euthanasia and assisted suicide. Legislation around this issue will shortly be introduced into the Victorian Parliament.

Many people have first-hand experience of a friend or relative who has experienced extreme suffering though illness or have witnessed the slow death of someone suffering dementia.

Catholic teaching has always been to look after the dignity of each human being regardless of judgements about their use to society or quality of life, keeping in mind that life does not have to be unnecessarily prolonged by artificial means but effort must be made to accompany the person and make them feel as comfortable as possible.

FROM COLLEGE ARCHIVIST

Debating at Loyola College Loyola College first entered into the Debating Association of Victoria (DAV), schools’ competition in 1985 with five teams. Under the coaching of Mr John Kennedy, Principal (L:80-07), one of the Year 10 teams achieved success in the Ivanhoe Zone.

Over three months of competition Loyola College along with Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar, Parade College and Upwey High School was placed first. This resulted in a regional challenge which saw Loyola College debate Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar and Parade against Upwey High School. The topic for both debates was “that tolerance is weakness”; with Loyola being in the negative.

Loyola College, represented by Loretta Thorn (L:82-87), Kelly Pagon (L:82-87) and Amanda Gibson (L:82-87) and Parade College won their respective debates making both schools overall winners of the zone competition for 1985.

Child Safe Standards In November 2015, the Victorian Parliament introduced the Child Safe Standards (Ministerial Order 870) into law. The purpose of these Standards is to create child safe environments which prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect.

In creating and maintaining a child safe environment, and therefore observing the Child Safe Standards, we as an educational institution are mandated to address the following requirements:

1. Strategies to embed an organisational culture of child safety, including effective leadership arrangements

2. A child safe policy or statement of commitment to child safety

3. A code of conduct that establishes clear expectations for appropriate behaviour with children

4. Screening, supervision, training and other human resources practices that reduce the risk of child abuse by new and existing personnel

5. Processes for responding to and reporting suspected child abuse

6. Strategies to identify and reduce or remove risks of child abuse

7. Strategies to promote the participation and empowerment of children

In complying with the Standards, we must also include the following principles which promote the cultural safety of: Aboriginal students Children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse

backgrounds Children with a disability

At Loyola College we are committed to these Standards and our staff have, for the past 18 months or so, worked towards meeting the requirements which further enhance our existing practices in preventing and responding to child abuse.

As part of the requirements, the College has nominated both myself and the Deputy Principal-Staff and Operations, Mrs Alison Leutchford, as the Child Safety Officers. The College is also working towards updating the Child Safe Policy, and once completed, this will be placed on our website. Currently on our website you will find the Child Safety Code of Conduct which all staff, volunteers, contract workers, clergy and College Board members are expected to support in creating a safe environment for our students.

Throughout Term One, as a way of informing our students about the Standards, both myself and the Head of Student Services, Mrs Anne Stringer, addressed students in each

level via the personal development program. This was an opportunity to particularly speak about Standard 7: Strategies to promote the participation and empowerment of children. In this session we defined the term “child abuse/neglect” and then alluded to what all young people should be aware of in protecting themselves from abuse, and that is:

Recognise signs of healthy and unhealthy relationships

Feel safe and empowered to say something when things are not right

Know that they can go to a trusted person with concerns, and that it will be taken seriously and acted upon

Find courage to speak out on behalf of others, rather than be a silent bystander

I referred students to the below “Protect” poster, which is found in all our rooms across the campus, as a reminder of our commitment to child safety.

Finally I reflected with the students on the words of Pope Francis, connecting his message to our own Ignatian message of Justice, Mercy, Faith, and how in developing the whole person, we strive for the Magis:

“we have to … give them a solid basis on which to build their lives; to guarantee their safety and their education, to be everything they can be…” (Pope Francis 2015)

The above information relating to the Child Safe Standards has been drawn from the Catholic Education Melbourne website. Further information and links may be accessed from this site.

College Committee As a community we continually encourage our students to regularly contribute to the Ignatian Newsletter. We see this as an opportunity for them to give their perspective about events that have occurred in the College. This fortnight we have articles from members of the College Committee.

FROM DRAMA CAPTAIN

2017 has brought the Performing Arts to LIFE! With our brilliant new “Magis Performing Arts Centre”, we have had the pleasure of showing off our outstanding talent that lies within all our performing Arts Students.

So far this year, our year 12 Drama ensemble performances were pronominal. Under the supervision and guidance of Mrs Vanda Tolli, each Year 12 student was able to create, conduct, perform, and truly excel to the best of their ability to portray the theme of “Captivity” in ensembles (groups). Also Year 12 Theatre Studies performances went down a hit, with two show nights depicting the stage craft and theoretical elements that are always a part of any show on and off stage. These students, were under the enthusiastic creation of Mr Michael O’Keeffe, the students were able to thrive and show off their many talents.

The last week of term 1 presented itself with the exciting House Eisteddfod, was is a night were each House Performs a short performance of their chosen musical or film. This was a breath taking experience, of observing a range of talents from singing, acting and music creation. Most importantly for parents, friends and relatives of the students involved it was amazing to witness all of the students for their outstanding level of commitment, dedication and talent.

In recent weeks, we had our mesmerising and “explosive” College Musical “The Wizard of OZ”. This was the Collages first official performance in the new building and it certainly set a standard. Directors Ms Julie Boyle and Mr Michael O’Keeffe allowed the students to let their imagination run wild! As Munchkins, Jitterbugs, Monkeys, Crows, Lions, Poppies, Trees, and even scarecrows. We were given the opportunity to create our own interpretation of these well renowned characters and portray them to our best ability, which reflected brilliance and unbelievable talent.

As Drama Captain, I could not be more proud of every single student from years 7-12 for their efforts, talents and extreme levels of commitment. The cast and I would love to take this opportunity to express further appreciation towards Mr Mark

Leary, for his extreme level of commitment, dedication, and assistance as the Musicals producer, for not only this year but for the past 5, thus without him there would be no shows. Also Mr Michael O’Keeffe and Mrs Julie Boyle have truly inspired and demonstrated true qualities of what it takes to be a Director. Ms Gemma Hedger! How could we forget the “Goddess” herself! Words cannot express the extreme level of commitment, talent and calmness she posses throughout the whole process of producing, teaching and perfecting each line and pitch or harmony for every character. Even as stage director on show nights. Thank you

FROM DEPUTY PRINCIPAL (TEACHING AND LEARNING)

Student Examination Preparation All students will receive their individual examination schedule via email over the next fortnight. Students need to be aware of the venue for each examination, as they can change. In particular, students need to be aware of which room they may be in if their examination is in K Block or where their study room is.

Research shows that students who practice completing test questions, essays, paragraphs, or multiple choice questions achieve better grades on their examination, than students who revise by re-writing their class notes. We encourage students to complete past papers, practice tests and have their subject teacher provide feedback on their practice papers.

The student planner is also an excellent resource for students to use in their preparation.

Students should also be speaking to their subject teachers regarding their specific examinations, so that they are confident about the content of the examination but also how to revise prior. The LMS also has excellent resources for students to use to help in their exam preparation.

Year 10 and 11 students start their examination on June 15 and Year 8 and 9 students commence their examinations on June 20. Resit examinations will take place on June 26, 27, 28 and 29 afterschool for any Year 10 or Year 11 student who achieved below 50% on any examination, including Performance and Oral examinations in the Performing Arts and Language subjects.

Year 9 Digital Technologies Day On Monday June 26, all of our Year 9 students will be involved in an exciting new program exploring the opportunities digital technologies can afford us. Students have had the chance to select from many workshops. Examples of the workshops are Human Movement and Coding, Art Robots, Sewing electronics, Pacman Wars just

Tuesday 30 May – Year 8/9 English revision Tuesday 30 May – Year 10/11 Maths revision Wednesday 31 May – Year 8/9 Maths revision Wednesday 31 May – Year 8/9 Science revision Tuesday 06 June – Year 8 Humanities revision Wednesday 07 June – Year 9 Humanities Revision Wednesday 07 June – Year 10/11 Managing exam anxiety Wednesday 14 June – Year 8/9 Managing exam anxiety

Each session will run from 3:30 – 4:00pm, with time remaining for students to receive more targeted help from specialist teachers.

Homework Club will run as normal between 3.30 and 4.30pm for students not signed into a Revision Masterclass.

FROM VCAL COORDINATOR

VCAL Succulents Pop-Up Store The first major project VCAL students had to deliver this year was the VCAL Succulents Pop-Up Store at the Loyola ‘Wizard of Oz’ Musical and Mother’s Day Breakfast. The project was about producing succulent potted plants for sale for Mother’s Day gifts. When the project was first conceived many students had never gardened in their life and many hours in the first weeks of the project were spent learning how to plant and care for succulents. Students and teachers learnt together as we tried different planting ideas and learnt that over-watering of succulents could be a problem!

In setting up the Succulent Pop-Up Store, students had to apply thinking about what type of plants work together to create visual structure, how to present products so they are appealing to buyers, the importance of quality control, teamwork and customer service. To attract attention to their project, students had to prepare marketing material and consider pricing. Profits from the sales support Loyola College charities.

Alongside the Pop-Up Store a group of Year 12 students are building a glasshouse. With a glasshouse, VCAL students will be able to propagate and grow their own succulents with the aim of turning this project into a sustainable VCAL business. In future years, students will be able to sell pot-plants for Mother’s Day and other events using plants they’ve successfully grown.

It was a mad frenzy on the Thursday of the Musical finishing the presentation of the pots and setting up the store, however the sense of achievement and smiles on students faces when the store was set up showed their hard work was worth it. The great feedback from buyers indicate our students are capable of producing quality products for sale that entice customers. They were so great we sold out!

Thank you goes to Ms Vanda Tolli for being a passionate driver of the project, Mr Peter Keegan for leading the building of the glasshouse and the VCAL Teaching and Learning support staff for supporting the project. Thank you also goes to the Loyola staff who supported VCAL in setting up the store at these two major events.

VET Hospitality and VCAL Coffee School Excursion Over three days at the start of Term Two more than 50 VET Hospitality and VCAL students attended the Melbourne Coffee School to undertake Barista Training. On the three hour course, students and teachers learnt to make espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, latte and many more coffee types. Students learnt the difference between a long black and a flat white and as the day went on starting challenging themselves with coffee art.

The skills learnt at the Coffee School are instantly applicable with the VET Hospitality students using their coffee skills in Iggy’s Restaurant. Following the success of the Succulent Pop-Up Store, VCAL students will be considering the opportunities around coffee

selling as a small business. All students also now have a skill that improves their employment opportunities.

FROM HEAD OF DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY

Design In Design & Technology subjects the students are designer-makers with the emphasis on technical design skills where innovative products are developed as creative responses to design brief requirements and design concept ideas. Students have developed Design Folios, inspiration research, design options and used tools, equipment, processes and materials to transform their creative ideas into functional products.

Textiles Year 8 students have studied occupational health and safety aspects in relation to Textiles sewing equipment and associated hazardous risks. They have also learnt how to operate a Bernina sewing machine safely. The students have incorporated stitching techniques in a decorated bag constructed from felt, with the application of the design process and sewing skills using a combination of materials along with complex designs. Students are currently studying the impact of Textiles with reference to historical, technological and futuristic relevance of a popular contemporary fashion item- jeans.

The year 9 demonstrated fashion drawing techniques and colour rendering skills in their fashion illustrations designs for active competitive sports wear garments. They have utilised the sewing machine and design skill applications in the construction of a quilted pencil case. The students are

currently undertaking design folio work with the construction of sleep/leisure wear shorts.

The year 10 have incorporated the principles and elements of design, whilst designing a Design Folio in alignment with the construction of a functional shoulder bag and contemporary urban streetwear designer logo tee-shirts.

Year 12 are designing a variety of fashion garments consisting of television/film/stage performance and runway costumes as responses to design brief requirements, with inspirational media research and design developmental work with visualisations and sketches in association with client’s specifications.

Wood Year 8 students have designed unique, individually shaped cheese/cutting boards, in time for Mother’s Day. They have undertaken inspirational research, with sketches as theme ideas and transferred design briefs and concepts into the construction of analogue clocks as part of the design process. The emphasis has been on using a selection of hand tools, such as coping saws, files and pyro graphics.

Year 9 have initiated a design brief for a folding chair including photos, sketches, isometric & orthogonal drawings. Students completed a safety induction book with power tool demonstrations. Students have initiated their practical work construction of a folding chair using tools, equipment, materials, and processes. They are constructing the compact, light-weight portable furniture using cordless drills, hand tools and disc sanders.

Year 10 students have initiated a design brief for a unique piece of furniture which includes photos, sketches, isometric

& orthogonal drawing and a wood cutting list. Year 10 have completed a safety power tool book with power tool demonstrations. Students initiated the construction of a small piece of furniture with use of cordless drills, sanders as well as specialised tools and equipment.

Year 11 have undertaken design folio developmental inspiration research and have worked in association with design brief constraints and considerations. The students are currently designing furniture items as creative responses to specific design requirements.

Food & Technology/Food Studies Year 8 Food & Technology have researched healthy food options for the MCG with a focus on healthy Pizzas. Students designed their own pizzas and produced them in accordance with individual ingredient preferences and food preparation skills. This assignment encourages students to be more creative with their healthy eating habits using a well-loved takeaway popular food item. Foods cooked include Warm Apple Turnovers, Funky Asian Noodle Salad and African Chicken Satays with Couscous.

Year 9 are currently completing the assignment – ‘Where did it come from?’ focusing on particular foods such as Honey, Cous Cous, Vegemite and Chocolate. Students have discovered food origins, when and where the food was made, environmental impacts and how the particular food starts in the paddock and ends up on dinner plates as a transformation process of food as ingredients. Foods cooked include: Chicken Masala, Risotto, Cornish Pasties and Chicken and Chickpea Salad.

Year 10 students studied the environmental and ethical impacts that food production has had on Australia and the entirety of the world. Also, food equity and reasons for malnutrition, modern day food related necessities such as packaging, labelling, the development of new food products and the science of

foods was explored. Practical classes were linked to theoretical concepts and the students were engrossed with the practical learning experiences. Foods cooked included ANZAC Biscuits, Paella, Lamingtons, Lemon Meringue Pies, Tortellini with Bacon & Tomato sauce, Macadamia crusted Chicken, Coleslaw Sliders and Lemon Syrup Muffins.

The students in Year 11 Food Studies have been investigating hunter and gatherer food systems and exploring their relevance and application for today’s farming techniques. Various regions of the world were studied such as the Horn of Africa, Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent where they investigated farming techniques, food cultures and celebrations. Students have compiled presentation reports, sharing their findings. Foods cooked were

Homemade Potato Gnocchi, Mediterranean Rice Tarts and Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls.

Year 12 students studied the psychological aspects of eating, comfort food, disordered eating, obsessive eating patterns, restrictive dieting, fad diets, body image and dietary patterns, associated social and emotional behavioural responses as well as health consequences associated with food intake and eating habits.

FROM HEAD OF FLYNN HOUSE

Flynn House News On Monday 01 May Flynn House celebrated their annual House Celebration. The Flynn house leadership team facilitated a lovely service to celebrate the hard work of John Flynn. Jacob De Leo and Olivia Mitchell opened our service with an Introduction to the work of John Flynn and his contribution to our country.

The Flynn students celebrated the day with great levels of respect and enjoyed a morning tea together as a house in the functions room at recess.

Jacob and Olivia reflected on the Gospel and how it reflects on service:

Service. What is it? It is the action of helping or doing work for someone. It is also a fundamental aspect of our school’s beliefs and of living in the image of God. How do we act out service? Through 3 key actions.

Firstly, selflessness. We must put someone else or a group of people before ourselves. We may need to push ourselves or go out of our comfort zone for them but their needs are what’s important. Secondly, acceptance. We must not judge them for what they don’t have, what they do have, where they come from or what they look like, but rather work together with them to solve the issues that are being faced.

Thirdly, kindness. We don’t know what someone might have gone through in their life - recently or in the past. Therefore we need to treat them with compassion, respect and

kindness. From this can stem an amazing friendship and it might brighten up their day.

FLYNN HOUSE

TOILETRIES DRIVE Please assist Flynn House and St Vincent de Paul,

Diamond Creek by making a small donation to our

toiletries collection box.

All students are able to drop any toiletries

donations to Miss Hussey’s office (OL101) or to

student reception.

Thanks to the community for

your support in helping our

local organisation.

In the gospel that we just heard, the disciples argue about who is the greatest and the most worthy. Jesus tells them that in the eyes of God, it is the one who humbly serves others that is the greatest and the most worthy. Jesus himself consistently served others, from curing the blind to feeding the hungry, he selflessly accepted those with kindness and this is part of the reason that he was loved and adored by so many. After the time of Jesus, many were called to be servants of God and act out deeds of pure goodness.

As part of our service in Flynn House this year we would like to provide useful products to those in our local community who are less fortunate. Flynn House will be running a toiletries donation basket. If as many people our college community could please donate any toiletry items to assist those that receive assistance from St Vincent de Paul Diamond Creek we will be helping many in our own local community that may not always be able to purchase these items themselves.

FROM STUDENT PROGRAMS COORDINATOR YEARS 7-9

Years 7 to 9 Update The past two weeks have been busy, especially for our Year 7s with the NAPLAN tests and the Year 7 Immunisation program. Firstly I would like to congratulate our Year 7 and 9 students for their excellent conduct during the NAPLAN tests. Students were well prepared and punctual and showed strong focus during the tests. For our Year 7 students, being in the big Companions Hall as an entire year level under test conditions is a new experience. Although Year 7 do not have exams this year, this experience helps to prepare them for exams in future years.

The Year 7 Immunisation also went very smoothly with students receiving their DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis – Whooping Cough) and second dose of HPV (Human Papillomavirus). The Banyule Health staff who administer the immunisation are very professional and

efficient. As our students lined up for their injections, one teacher commented how lucky we are to be in a country where immunisation against debilitating diseases is so accessible to us. Not all children have this privilege.

For our Year 8 and 9 students, the forthcoming weeks will have a special focus on exam preparation. It is important that all students begin their revision early, ask lots of questions, organise a study schedule and organise their exam schedule carefully. Organisation is key to exam success.

FROM COLLEGE COUNSELLOR

 Talking is important for everyone. It helps you stay healthy and stops your problems from getting on top of you. You should talk to people you trust.

This can help if: You're naturally quiet You have trouble asking for help You want to know why talking is helpful You want to know who you can talk to

Why talk? Some people are good at talking, and do it a lot. Some people don't like to talk too much but it can be helpful for everyone. It's worth making an effort to talk through what's going on for you with someone you trust. Good things that can come from talking are:

It'll help you sort through your thoughts and clarify whatever is going on for you at the time. While all your stuff is inside you, it's hard to see how it really works. Once you've had to say it out loud, it gets easier to get hold of.

If you just worry about your problems without talking to someone about them, they probably start to seem worse and bigger than they are. Talking will cut them down to size.

Sometimes you don’t know what to say, or where to start, but once you start talking to someone you can start to make sense of all that confusing stuff.

Talking to someone who's not involved in whatever's bothering you might suggest options you haven't thought of.

If you're talking to someone neutral, but caring, they won't take sides or push an agenda.

Talking is like a pressure valve for your head. Switch it on once in a while.

FROM THE STUDENTS

   Flynn's efforts in Term 1 were incredible and we are very impressed and proud of everyone’s achievements. Participation increased immensely from last year and everyone was enthusiastic about the events. Swimming carnival was first up for the year with Flynn placing second, which is an amazing achievement. We especially thank all those who cheered the competitors on and jumped in a lane at the last minute, scoring us more points that contributed to our placing.

Next was House Eisteddfod. Even though we didn't place where we hoped, everyone involved should be extremely proud of their hard work and the performance. Flynn's performance, 'Pitch Perfect', utilised a range of talent found in Flynn House and worked with the strengths that we had - in singing, acting, dancing and backstage. We found hidden talents in some students and it was excellent to see some of them shine on stage. A special thanks to Erica Cahill and Georgia Tarulli for being extremely helpful. Also special mention must go to Erica Cahill for receiving best actress.

Public speaking, led by Vice Captain Ayla Bice, has been a little shaky this year for Flynn, having a few disqualifications from debates, however recently Flynn has had full teams and are doing their best to bring home the greatest placing they can. A special mention to Steven Logozzo for stepping in on the day of a public speaking event.

Fundraising for Flynn's charity, St. Vincent De Paul, has begun and we encourage all Flynnians to donate toiletries to the tub outside of Ms. Hussey's office. Your donations will help struggling families. We thank everyone for their incredible hard work, support and enthusiasm so far this year and we hope that it continues until the end of the year.

As we both wander around the mentors occasionally, we always see the students interacting, laughing and participating in mentor activities, creating inter-level bonds, and hope that this will carry on through many years.

Well that's been Flynn's year so far: busy, crazy, fun, exciting and there is more to come. Go Flynn!

Steven has shown outstanding courage and selflessness in order to assist the house. Flynn were struggling to find a Year 12 student to participate in the Senior Public Speaking.

STUDENT OF THE FORTNIGHT

Over the course of the first semester Matilda Minichilli has not only been a happy face around Mackillop but an asset to our success. Her contribution to everything we have faced this semester has truly been inspiring to all of those not only around Mackillop Block but throughout the school.

Matilda has been a leader in the assistance of raising money for Caritas, she eagerly competed in the House swimming carnival whilst also assuring the House had a smooth run on the day and her contribution towards House eisteddfod truly shaped the final performance.

We are extremely grateful for your assistance so far Matilda, Keep doing you, and Strive for Success!

This edition produced by Tiahn Welsh (12 KAMM) & Luke Tucci (12 KAMM) of Mackillop House.

Matilda Minichilli (12 KHJM)

FROM THE STUDENTS

     Term 1 has been a great success for Mackillop House with a tremendous effort given to school events such as the House swimming carnival, at which we finished in 1st place! A big thankyou to all the staff and students involved on the day, in both events and supporting the House. We are very proud of the effort showed throughout the House and hope it can continue throughout the year.

Mackillop House has also been heavily involved with raising money for Caritas throughout Term 1 with donation boxes being placed with Mentor groups. The House was able to raise a substantial amount of money, which will be used directly for the benefit of those disadvantaged in a number of overseas locations.

House Eisteddfod was also a great success for Mackillop House, finishing second place with a performance of “Charlie and the chocolate factory”. We had numerous people saying it was a “spectacular performance” as it “lit up the stage with wonderful props and colours”. A huge thank-you to everyone who got involved from the back stage crew, to the chorus, to all the cast and those who assisted with the spectacular performance.

In Term 2 both, public speaking and debating have commenced with speakers from junior, middle and senior year levels representing the House. We are thrilled with the ability and the professionalism that each year level has shown in their events, with each person presenting a strong argument with great public speaking skills. Special mentions go to Ashleigh Tsalkos, Gabby Asta Parisi, Samuel Losada and Aoife Wheelan who were part of the undefeated senior debating team; Laura Spiby, Emma Spiby, Ashleigh Mackenzie who were our middle public speaking representatives; and of course the Junior team. We'd like to thank all those people involved in the organising of these events and the Mackillop students for their involvement.

Term 2 still has many more big events to look forward to. House sport is underway with the Year 7-8s kicking it off with a round robin tennis tournament, Year 9-10s competing in basketball and Year 11-12s in futsal. Term 2 also includes the biggest morning tea celebration which each House allows students to order from a variety of foods for a special lunch where all money raised goes to the fight against cancer, as well as House points, so its a win-win!

Although we are on top, the match isn't even halfway done and competition is heating up so we need all the effort we can from every student. As a House we want to see participation, support and the family attitude that makes us unique.

Keep at it Mackillop!

Talk to who? You're going to want to pick someone you trust to talk about things that are bothering you. It might be a friend, family member, teacher, doctor or other person you see often. You may also want to consider talking to a counsellor, or psychologist.

Some counsellors specialise, so you can get someone who's experienced in dealing with whatever's going on for you – whether it's sadness, anger, stress, family issues, school, or anything else.

What can I do now? Write down a list of people you trust who you can

talk to. If you want to talk to someone outside the situation,

Mother and Daughter Breakfast – Monday 08 May A beautiful morning was attended by over 200 people for this very special event. A big thank you to Joanne Pritchard, the canteen and the Hospitality students who all did an amazing

job in providing a delightful breakfast. We were very privileged as our guest speaker, Alicia Loxley (Gorey 1994-1998 ex- Loyola Student) who is currently a Channel 9 News Reporter to be our guest speaker. Alicia openly spoke about her journey in the very competitive world of media and gave a great insight into the importance of balance for a working mum.

As one mum so nicely summed up the morning – “I had a lovely morning enjoying breakfast with my sons and finishing it off with the pleasure of arranging my two Gerberas in just the right vase for the entry table at home. It will bring a smile to my face when I leave and come home for the rest of the week”

The Paraliturgy was very touching as we were truly blessed by Fr.Gerry Healy SJ who emphasised the importance of taking the time to regularly thank our Mothers for all they do, not just on Mother’s Day.
