FROM THE PRINCIPAL CONGRATULATIONS to all associated with our production of HAIRSPRAY-THE MUSICAL performed last Friday and Saturday night. The ‘buzz” has been that the quality and professionalism displayed across all areas – singing, dancing, dialogue, music, costumes, hair/makeup, set construction, scene changes - belied the fact that this was “just” a school production.. These truly are team productions with 83 students involved onstage or in the band and another 25 behind the scenes. Such performances obviously rely on the preparedness of many staff and parents to give their time and skills to make them happen. 23 staff and many parents were part of the production team along with community band members with many staff also helping out with front of house and supervision duties. Too many to name here, but the work of the staff thanked by the students after Saturday night’s performance needs further acknowledgement – Natalie Wight, Louise Mills, Lindsey Humphrey, Todd Wynyard, DeLynne Wight, Nick Robba, Kim Cook, Liz Langford, Rachel Lalor and Luke Parnemann. It was simply a magnificent production and as I told the cast and crew, I am proud and felt privileged to have been able to work with them.

We are again the recipient of an ENERGEX COMMUNITY AND SUSTAINABILITY FUND grant. Thanks to the work of student Environmental Committee Convenor Nick Gerhard and teacher Wayne Baker, we will receive $1850 to replace some school equipment with more energy efficient models with the balance going to our ongoing tree planting program. Nick and Wayne will be presented with a cheque at a ceremony in Brisbane later this month. Year 7/9 students have engaged purposefully with NAPLAN testing this week the results of which will be available earlier in Term 3 than has been the case in past years - and will get even earlier in 2017 when NAPLAN moves to an on-line environment. These tests require much organisation and changes to school routine in terms of rooms and teacher supervision and thanks go to Brenden Tucker, Chuck Forzatti, Paul Ford and the Year 7/9 Pastoral Leaders Sue Webb and Paul Pennisi for all their work here.

Catholic College

The SIGNAGE for our new facilities has finally been put in place, along with a few others to visually enhance our facilities, thanks to the work of APRE Catharine Hannan. The official BLESSING AND OPENING of these new facilities will be held on Wednesday June 3 at 9.15am. Bishop Brian Finnegan and BCE Executive Director Pam Betts will perform these duties – parents are most welcome to attend – the actual ceremony will be about 30 minutes.

Thank you to the P&F for their organisation of last Friday’s MOTHERS DAY BREAKFAST and to students Ashleigh Hutchings, Isabella Boulter and Joel Farquharson who assisted them with this. Such functions are but one of the foci of our P&F , the others are evident at our monthly meetings, the next one being Tuesday 19 May – next Tuesday. One of the agenda items will be finalising our FOODBANK COOKING MORNING on Saturday 23 May in our new Hospitality facilities. If you are able to help, please contact Chris Purvis at purvie1@bigpond.com Our team of students who have volunteered with the SMITH FAMILY READING PROGRAM has greatly increased in number this year. Well done students and thank you to the staff assisting with this – more details are elsewhere in this newsletter. Safe travels to teacher Sue O’Connor who begins a three week period of leave next Monday. Sue will be replaced for that period by Riccardo Pinese. Mr Graeme Hight

FROM THE DEPUTY PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents/Carers, Students, Staff and Friends YEAR 12 QCS TEST AND QCS PREPARATION PROGRAM A significant focus for our Year 12 students during Semester 1 (Terms 1 and 2) is their participation in the Queensland Core Skills (QCS) Test Preparation Program (PP). The program normally occurs during Year 12 Access (Wednesday Periods 1 and 5). It is an expectation that all OP-eligible students participate in the program. I cannot overstate this expectation. It is critical to students’ success in the QCS that they participate fully and actively engage in the QCS PP each week. The QCS Test is made up of the following four subtests: (Creative) Writing Task, two Multiple Choice tests and a Short Response test. The four-part test is conducted over two days in either late August or early September each year. In 2015, the QCS Test will occur on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 4 September (Week 8, Term 3). As we draw nearer to the Test, students’ focus shifts to the Short Response and Multiple Choice subtests. In the Short Response subtest, students are required to write a short (although clear and precise) response to items that allow students to demonstrate their literacy, numeracy and visual literacy skills. This might involve making a comparison or interpretation (literacy), constructing a labelled diagram (visual literacy) or using basic mathematic skills (numeracy).

SHORT RESPONSE ITEM (SRI) ROTATION PROGRAM Commencing this week, Year 12s began a six week Short Response sub-test (SRI) Rotation Program. This is the second SRI Rotation Program in which students will participate. The Rotation Program builds on the Year 11 introductory workshops conducted during Term 4 2014. The purpose of our Year 12 SRI Rotation Program is (not limited) to:

re-orientate students to the structure, organisation and scope of the SRI sub-test

refresh students understanding of strategies to enable them to effectively and successfully demonstrate their literacy, numeracy and visual literacy skills

expose students to the broad range of SRI questions

provide opportunities for students to answer SRI questions and receive feedback with reference to SRI model responses

I express my gratitude towards our Year 12s for the positive approach which they have shown towards the QCS Test PP. Also, I acknowledge and thank the following teachers who facilitate the Program – Pamela Chetwyn, Leisa Epplett, Catharine Hannan, Nick Robba and Keryn Rauth. We wish our Year 12s every success for their QCS preparation and continued support in their broader learning program. QUEENSLAND HEALTH SCHOOL VACCINATION PROGRAM – ROUND 2 VACCINATIONS As part of Queensland Health’s School Based Vaccination Program, Round 2 vaccinations will occur on Tuesday 26 May (Week 6) for all Year 8 students (HPV dose 2 and dTpa), whose parents/carers have previously granted permission. The day’s vaccination schedule will be communicated in next week’s Newsletter. Parents/carers can find more information about diseases, vaccines or the School Immunisation Program by visiting www.health.qld.gov.au/clinical-practice/guidelines-procedures/diseases-infection/immunisation/default.asp or call 13 Health on 13 43 25 84. Blessings for a safe, restful and joy-filled weekend. Mr Paul Ford

FROM THE YEAR 7 PASTORAL LEADER This week is the final week for the FIRST ROTATION SUBJECTS and the Italian students finished on a high note with a gelato from Gelato Mio. Some students also participated in an excursion to Woolworths to investigate the range of Italian produce that is available to us just around the corner. My thanks to the parents and grandparents who came along to assist with this experience. In response to parent feedback the iMESSAGE app has been blocked because it was proving to be a growing source of distraction for students -and in many cases a growing source of frustration for parents! We are hopeful that students will view this restriction as an effort to help them focus on their school work during class time. Certainly it is not acceptable for students to be sending and receiving social messages during class time as this interrupts the flow of their learning. Those who continue to do so can expect swift consequences when those messages are intercepted by teachers. A conversation around this and reinforcement of this school rule by parents would be appreciated. Please continue to provide me with your observations and feedback regarding your child’s use of their mac as this helps us to work with you in setting manageable boundaries. The participation in NAPLAN this week has been positive and the students have coped well with the slight changes to school routine to accommodate these tests. They have been well prepared each day, and have participated to the best of their ability. Well done Year 7!

Mrs Sue Webb

FROM THE YEAR 8 PASTORAL LEADER Next Friday 22 May all Year 8 students will have an EXCURSION to Unity College to see the musical ‘Popstars.' An email was sent on 21 April but just a reminder that the students come to school as normal and will be travelling to Unity College by bus. The students will be encouraged to eat prior, or to bring a snack, as we will be absent from 9.45 until after 1pm. Please no tuckshop on this day. Such experiences are worthwhile for our students in order to strengthen pastoral connections across our Year 8 cohort. Please contact me if you have any further queries or concerns. Mrs Louise Mills

FROM THE YEAR 9 PASTORAL LEADER

This week the cohort sat for the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy – NAPLAN tests. Over the three days they completed five tests with many students coming away feeling quite positive about their performance. Tomorrow will be the catch up day for any students who missed an exam due to illness.

With NAPLAN now out of the way for the majority of students and as we enter the second half of Term Two, most subjects will be gearing the students for their in-school assessment. Now is not the time to sit back and relax, but rather to step up the homework/study/assignment time. Parents should be expecting their son or daughter to be more engaged in their studies at home. If you are concerned please check the homework diaries and ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE for this semester (emailed to all students and families last week with the newsletter), or contact the relevant subject teacher or myself at the College. Mr Paul Pennisi

FROM THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC CO-ORDINATOR “Music is well said to be the speech of angels.” - Thomas Carlyle, Essays, “The Opera” The tenth benefit of music education - Music study develops skills that are necessary in the workplace. It focuses on “doing,” as opposed to observing, and teaches students how to perform, literally, anywhere in the world. Employers are looking for multi-dimensional workers with the sort of flexible and supple intellects that music education helps to create as described above. In the music classroom, students can also learn to better communicate and cooperate with one another. CONGRATULATIONS to ALL students who performed with such confidence on stage and behind the scenes in the College musical “Hairspray” last week. What an amazing production! I had the best seat in the house for all three performances and enjoyed watching the immense talent that we have at Siena. I would particularly like to thank all members of the orchestra for contributing such awesome music throughout the duration of each of the shows. Great job! Thanks to students – Kyle Hamilton, Kerri-Ann Meakins, Kyra Bellamy, Lauren Bellamy, Lana Goodman-Tomsett, Nathan Durrer, Ruby Daly, Sophie Ebsworthy, Olivia Ballam and our amazing, super fantastic drummer Jordan Sheils! Thanks to ex-students – Clare Williams and Sarah Durrer Thanks to staff and community members – Maria Salmon, Tetias Goh, Ed Bettega, Barry Bickel, Tim Williams, Lyn Wordsworth, Alyssa Pagamenos, Inez Durrer, Jodie Lutherborrow, Joshua Wynyard.

College Choir will be performing at the blessing of the new buildings at school on Wednesday 3 June and your prompt attendance at all rehearsals is essential.

FROM THE SCIENCE COORDINATOR

UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND SCIENCE AMBASSADORS The University of Queensland Science Ambassador Program is aimed at raising the profile of science within schools and recognising high achieving science students by nominating them as UQ Science Ambassadors. This year four students from Siena were nominated and accepted as the 2015 UQ Science Ambassadors: pictured right, Griffyn Goodall, Mia Khoury, Daniel Walsh, (absent, Danielle Parker) THE AUSTRALIAN BRAIN BEE CHALLENGE (ABBC) is a competition for high school students in Year 10 to learn about the brain and its functions, learn about neuroscience research, find out about careers in neuroscience and to dispel misconceptions about neurological and mental illnesses. The program was started in Australia in 2006 to address a number of deficiencies in the public's perception of science in general, and neuroscience in particular. The ABBC provides current and accurate information on the latest advances in neuroscience research, its value to the community, and promotes careers in science and technology. Shaun McAnally, Holly Mitchell, David Rao, and Angus Dunn all competed in the first round of the challenge last term and achieved high enough scores to successfully qualify for Round 2 of the competition which is the STATE FINALS, to be held at the Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland St Lucia campus in Brisbane in July this year. They will participate in two rounds of live questioning to determine who will become the State champion, and go on to represent Queensland in the Australian finals. Thanks to these students, Siena has also qualified for the team competition where schools compete against each other to win prizes for the school.

YEAR 12 BIOLOGY MORETON ISLAND FIELD TRIP Year 12 Biology students study a unit of Environmental Science at the end of Term 1 through to the beginning of Term 2. A mandatory requirement of this course is for the students to engage in a minimum number of hours of fieldwork. Students fulfil this requirement by attending the Moreton Island field trip and completing the required activities and associated reports. This represents a major portion of the summative assessment for this semester’s work. The camp was also a wonderful opportunity for students to put into practice much of the study they have engaged with so far and to be involved in hands-on environmental assessment techniques in real world situations. Mr Simon Harris

FROM THE ITALIAN CURRICULUM LEADER On Thursday 7 May students from the Years 9 and 10 Italian classes – along with some dedicated Seniors – visited the university for the annual USC LANGUAGE DAY. Students from schools as far north as Noosa and south as Caboolture participated in a range of activities which facilitated interaction with native speakers, and the exploration of the campus during the lunch break gave students a taste of what university might be like. While the consensus among Senior students is that the Language Day doesn’t recompense lessons missed at school, for junior students it can be a valuable learning opportunity. Comments like ‘I used more Italian today than I ever used before in my life’ can only be beneficial for Language learning. Mr Michael Modini

FROM THE LEARNING ENRICHMENT PROGRAM LEADER TOURNAMENT OF MINDS preparation began last week with “Come and Try” sessions each Tuesday lunchtime open to students in Year 7 – 10. Training in TOM thinking skills occurs at 12.50 in the new Benincasa building. Students who are interested in finding out more about TOM but have not yet attended are still invited to attend next week.

FUTURE PROBLEM SOLVING students have been busy working their way through the Underlying Problem for their second practice problem on Processed Foods, and learning a great deal about the likely advances which will occur in food production techniques in the future such as 3D Food Printers.

Thank you to all students who tried out for DA VINCI DECATHLON teams. Congratulations to the following students who will represent the College in two weeks at the Gold Coast: Year 8 Team: Ruby Daly, Sam Bolton, Liam Morey, Ruby Natoli, Flynn Stewart, Kerri-Ann Meakins, Lauren Ward, Ella Agapow. Year 9 Team: Grace McGahan, Kyra Bellamy, Lauren Bellamy, Will Petcos, Imogen Hulsman-Benson, Alanah Pace, Abby O’Brien, Tara Hodges.

Any Year 10 student intending to do PROGRAM CHALLENGE in Semester Two, must contact me if you haven’t already done so at jbolton@bne.catholic.edu.au, to indicate your area of interest as mentors are being sourced now.

Any students wishing to apply to attend the G & T ACADEMY CONFERENCES in July (junior and senior) must attend a meeting next Tuesday morning tea in Benincasa to receive permission forms. Mrs Julie Bolton

STUDENT2STUDENT READING MENTORS The Smith Family student2student Reading mentor Program is underway now at Siena. The Siena mentors are trained in the pause, prompt and praise technique to encourage their buddy to read with confidence. This year we have 20 Siena students who are mentoring the reading of their ‘buddy’ over the phone twice a week. The buddy is a primary school student who has been identified by the Smith Family from the community as requiring the assistance, however is previously unknown to the Siena mentor. Mentors and buddies are linked for the purpose of the reading program. The 21-week program concludes in October, so it is a long term commitment from the mentors but a very rewarding experience to know that they are assisting with improving literacy and the fondness for reading for someone else. Thank you to the 2015 student mentors, Harry Foote, Will Petcos, Lockie Gatehouse, Niamh Long, Chloe Cugliari, Bridget Kelly, Sofia John, Kate Davenport, Sophia Chetcuti, Amy Crouch, Abbey Obrien, Lauren Ward, Holly Mitchell, Shashi Savimaki, Lara Williams, Hannah Schmidt, Kara McEwan, Keely Ansell, Mia Khoury, Shaun McAnally and to teachers Leisa Epplett, Keryn Rauth, Mandy Kerr and Julie Weatherill who are also involved in the program. Ms Miriam Chetcuti, Convenor

ASX SHAREMARKET GAME Only two weeks left of the game. The reduction of the interest rates by the Reserve Bank definitely changed some rankings. There are still about half of Siena’s syndicates that have increased the value of their portfolios. As of last week, Jasper Giaroli and Kade Johnstone had taken over the lead from Nate Smyth who still sits in second place. These players are closely followed by David Rao and Shaun McAnally, Seamus Burkett and Jacob Hobbs. Remember, buy when you think the value of the shares is low and is likely to increase; sell shares when you think the value of shares has likely reached its maximum value and may start decreasing. You need to spend money to make money. Mrs Glenys Goodingham, Game Coordinator

Mrs Michele Akers

OTHER SPORTS RESULTS RUGBY U13S WHITE Unfortunately, the boys met a strong opposition in Unity College yesterday going down 29-7. Quick to breakdowns and a gluttony of possession in the first half, Siena tackled their hearts out and were near exhausted by half time. Mitchell John, a new comer to rugby, continues to display the hard determined running that he has shown all season, breaking the defensive line on several occasions. Charlie McGovern again led by example, captaining the team with some strong defence as did Matthew Tarrant and Matthew Gatehouse. The stand out would have to be how the boys never gave up, finishing the game with a great try from Noah Cheatham in the dying minutes. Chins up boys. As they say "you’re only as good as your last game” and next week, we get the chance to go around again.

Mr Luke Parnemann, Coach

The U13 BLACK boys played a much larger Immanuel team last night in what turned out to be their best performance this season. The Siena forward pack proved way too strong for their opponents, dominating the breakdown and set pieces, and providing ample ball for the Siena backs. It was a very solid effort from the boys with the final score being 36-0. The future look bright for Siena Rugby.

Mr Paul Pennisi, Coach

U15S Last evening's game against Immanuel was a forfeit win but we gave them seven of our players for a lively, friendly match of 14 a side rugby. Luke Krigovsky and Liam McGovern had great games playing out of position on the wings; both scored tries in the corner. Paddy McIndoe enjoyed bursting runs and scored right near the posts. The Immanuel team was kept scoreless despite a number of our key players donning their jerseys. Congratulations also to the following boys who were selected in the District Rugby team and will now trial for Regional selection at Noosa on Tuesday: Isaac Talbot, Tye James, Harry Charlesworth, Liam McGovern, Sam Buckley, Zane McRae, Ewan McComisky, Joe Gordon, Max Giaroli, Luke Krigovsky, Jake Millson. Good luck on Tuesday. Mrs Kerri Buckley, Manager and Mr Greg Craven, Coach

2ND XV Siena 19 drew with Unity 19. The team continued their good form of late and it was only tired legs that robbed us of another win last night. In front and looking comfortable for most of the game, injuries took their toll and Unity scored twice in the last minutes to even the scores. Jack Wright scored two brilliant individual tries, Emmet Walsh played his guts out for the full hour, Ned Carson showed great speed for a big man in cover defence, and Brayden Henry took the team forward all game. Special thanks must go to Year 11 student Will Pugsley who stepped in at late notice to referee so capably. Mr Nick Robba and Mr Paul Clough, Coaches

1STXV The Wolfpack faced their greatest challenge of the season on Wednesday night when they encountered Mountain Creek. Both teams went into the game undefeated but it was evident right from the whistle that the Siena boys meant business. Some scintillating ball movement in the first few minutes saw Jesse Gibson dive over in the corner to open the scoring. The “Creekers” then went on to dominate field position for much of the half but the Wolfpack repelled numerous attacking raids and powerful play from the forwards late in the half saw Lachlan Hoffman muscle his way over the line to see the home side go into the break 10 – 0. The second half started with a new plan and the boys executed extremely well, playing fast, attacking rugby in the opposition half. A number of incisive raids down the right flank reaped rewards with Kaleb Talbot powering his way over for a double after some wonderful phase play. Clever mauling from dominant lineouts added two more tries. Final score 30 – 0, in what can only be described as a strategically astute display of team rugby. Well done, boys. Mr Ken Bolton, Coach

NETBALL With only one more round to go in the Monday night competition, some our teams are playing for places in the finals. The games this week will determine the finals position for our Firsts, Intermediate A, Junior A, Junior B Blue, Intermediate A Reserve, Intermediate C and our Intermediate and Open B Division teams. On Tuesday 19 May, three of our teams will travel to Brisbane to compete in the annual Queensland Catholic Cup. Good luck to our Firsts, Intermediate A and Junior A teams.
