1412 Friday 20 September 2019 Dear Members of the Loyola College Community,

Over the last fortnight, there has been much to celebrate in our community. In this final newsletter for Term 3, I am thrilled to share with you many of our successes.

Annual Music Concert On Thursday 12 September, the Annual Music Concert was held in the Inigo Theatre of the Magis Performing Arts Centre. I congratulate all the students who participated and the staff who prepared them so well for this event. A large audience enjoyed the high quality performance. It was a wonderful evening of entertainment. I thank

Mr Williamson, the Director of Music for overseeing the organisation of this event.

Herald Sun Cup Also, on Thursday 12 September, the Loyola senior girls football team became Herald Sun Shield Champions as they defeated Padua College in Ballarat. Girls football is still in its infancy, but it is wonderful to see our community embracing all that it has to offer. Congratulations to all of the players involved. We are very proud of your achievement.

Thank you to Mr John Baxter, Director of Sport for supporting the girls on the day.

Battle of the Bands On Friday 13 September, several students represented Loyola College at the Battle of the Bands held at Penola Catholic College. This is the third year that Loyola has been part of this competition and I am delighted to say that Caustic Terrain won the senior band competition. Congratulations to the members of Caustic Terrain, Elijah Treglia, Cara Irwin, Joel Feltrin, Joel Pascale, James Trapani and William Moloney together with Ms Zaharias and Mr Kelly who worked with the Loyola bands.

Year 7 Character Strengths Evening On Wednesday 11 September, Mr Sal Valentino, Wellbeing and Personal Development Coordinator facilitated the third Year 7 Character Strengths Showcase. At the event, each Year 7 BLG performed an item, highlighting one of the 24 positive psychology character strengths. The evening highlighted strengths such as, perseverance, emotional intelligence, kindness, self-regulation, gratitude, zest, humour, curiosity, love of learning, hope, honesty and leadership.

Positive Education blends academic learning with character & well-being. It is a scientific study that challenges students to focus on what is positive in themselves and in doing so, build positive mental health within individual students and the wider school community.

Thank you to Mr Valentino and the Year 7 teachers who worked with our Year 7 students to put together high quality presentations.

LSC Week In the week commencing Monday 03 September the Loyola Student Council organised a series of activities to celebrate LSC week. I wish to commend this group for their planning, organisation and hard work. I also thank Ms Staub (Student Programs Coordinator Years 10-12) and Ms Crowe (Student Programs Coordinator Years 7-9) for working with these leaders in making the week a success. Unfortunately, the students managed to beat the staff in the annual staff football match. I have heard on the grapevine that the staff are planning a big come back in 2020.

Farewell to Italian Exchange students At the end of term, we will also farewell our Exchange students; Irene Mezzacasa, Annalisa Becca, Alice Bayumi, Sofia Errigo, Alessia Capirossi, Beatrice Palmieri Lise Danchesi, Carla Bonacci, Pierre Caymaris-Moulin, Clelia Lefert, Raphael Degani, Paul Vaissermann and Christian Hovestadt who have been with us for Term 3. We wish them well as they return to their families and hope that they have found their time with us rewarding.  

Cambodia Visit In the first week of the school holidays Mr Chris Lynch, Mrs Fiona Devlin, Ms Elisa Mezner and Mr James Falcone will travel to Cambodia to visit a Jesuit school outside Siem Reap, with view to establishing a partnership. It is hoped that in future years, students may take part in an immersion experience and volunteer to work within the school community.

NASA Space Trip We bid farewell to Mr Matthew Lee, Head of Science and Ms Lauren Hartigan, VCAL Coordinator who depart for the USA on our biannual Space and Beyond Tour. This tour is offered to students who study Mathematics and Science and visits locations such as the Flight Aviation Centre, Boeing factory and the Kennedy Space Centre. This is a wonderful opportunity to open the world of Science and Technology to our students as they explore real life applications.

Year 12 Students Year 12 students will have their practice examinations during the school holiday period. This is an important time of the year for solid revision and consolidation of work in preparation for the end of year examinations. I wish the Year 12 students well in their preparation and study over the holiday break.

As this term draws to a close, I take this opportunity of thanking all who have contributed to its success. It has, as always, been a very busy term but much has been achieved and I thank all who contributed to its success. I wish students and families a happy and safe holiday period.

Alison Leutchford Acting Principal 

FROM DIRECTOR OF COLLEGE & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

End of Term Three Assembly This week I spoke to the College about why we fundraise each year to support our House charities. It was a timely reminder as we prepare to hand over our funds to the various House Charites, all of whom were represented at the assembly.

Some of the key messages at the assembly were; Our College is built on the values of St Ignatius, whereby, we seek justice by advocating for the poor or the oppressed,

we offer mercy to those that have made mistakes and we do all of this through our Catholic faith. However, we have strong diversity amongst our community at Loyola and so regardless of what faith we choose to follow, if any at all, we are still united, by upholding our school values, which teach us to just be good humans who care for others.

Education is power. Education is, the ultimate weapon against the fight for injustice, to build tolerance and most importantly, empower people and communities to be self-sufficient.

What we are trying to do with an Ignatian education, is to educate you enough or at least plant a seed, in the hope that one day, you will come to appreciate all of this on your own terms and take on some of the work that will advocate for others. Education can be very powerful.

When the problems of the world are overwhelming to listen to, it is really easy to change the TV station, turn the page in the newspaper and say what could I really do to contribute to or resolve this. But the reality is; we can all do small things, that develop into great things, and this was proven here today with this total amount. Well done to each and every one of you.

Our total funds raised were $32,128.30

The break-down of each house was:

Xavier $6,213.54

Mannix $5,754.69

Chisholm $5,196.15

MacKillop $4,927.40

Flynn $5,577.72

McAuley $4,458.80

Scholarships Scholarships to receive $1,000 off school fees for 2020 close on Friday, 01 November 2019. Online applications can be submitted at, www.surveymonkey.com/r/QC5H2K5.

FROM DEPUTY PRINCIPAL IGNATIAN MISSION & IDENTITY

Feast Days: St Damian and St Francis of Assisi Over the next few weeks two of our founding Parishes, St Damian’s Bundoora (26 September) and St Francis of Assisi Mill Park (04 October), celebrate their feast days.

Saint Damian and his brother, Cosmos, were born in Arabia, and became well known for their skill in the study of medicines. They were both Christians who were held in high esteem by the people of Egaea in Cilicia, where they worked and usually treated people free of charge. The Roman Emperor, Diocletian, at the behest of his generals, instigated a series of brutal persecutions. As the brothers were prominent Christians, they were eventually arrested and tortured and put to death in the year 283. St Damian and St Cosmos are the patron saints of pharmacists.

St Francis of Assisi was born in the year 1182 about 900 years after the martyrdom of St Damian. He was the son of a merchant, Pietro Bernadone, who had a fascination with France, so much so, that he named his son Franceso, ‘Frenchman’. Parts of Francis’ young life mirrored that of Ignatius’ 400 years later. Francis was popular, a leader who lived a life of permissiveness and dreamed of becoming a knight. Francis, like Ignatius, was also captured in battle after a heavy loss. He was eventually returned to his home and then joined the Fourth Crusade. This only lasted a day as he dreamt that God told him it was wrong to be involved. Francis returned to his home and was humiliated.

Over the next few years Francis had a number of experiences, including a meeting with a leper whose hand he kissed, before finding the peace and fulfilment he desired by serving God in the purest way he could. He took his inspiration from the words ‘"go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor” Mt 19:21, “take nothing for the journey” Mk 6:8 and "Then He said to them all, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me'" (Luke 9:23).

This is the rule for the order he founded. Francis and his early companions lived it literally. Initially people were suspicious of these ragged, joyous beggars who preached about the love of God. However, they were soon won over by their sincerity and their numbers grew rapidly. When the order reached about 5000 in number, Francis gave up the leadership and lived as a brother.

Towards the end of his life he received the gift of the “stigmata”, as he had prayed to share in the suffering of Christ. Legend has it that Francis innate holiness was so apparent that even the animals were not frightened of him nor threatened him.

St Francis and St Damian were both compassionate people who suffered and lived lives of care for others. This is how they came

Mr Christopher Lynch Direct Line: 9433 0227

closer to God. They both understood Jesus’ challenge ‘to take up your cross daily and follow Me’.

St Damian’s – Bundoora will celebrate their Feast Day on Sunday, 22 September There will be celebrations after the 10:00am Mass, commencing at 11:00am until 2:00pm. Food stalls, mini-market, jumping castle, face-painting.

St Francis of Assisi – Mill Park will celebrate their Feast Day on Sunday, 13 October 10:15am: Feast Day Procession 10.30am: Solemn Mass with combined parish choir - Blessing of parish groups in the Church 12.00pm: Family lunch in the school courtyard - Live Entertainment - Jumping castle for the children 2.00pm: Blessing of the animals in the spirit of St Francis - $50 ‘Mega Pet Warehouse’ voucher for the most exotic pet

East Timor Immersion 2020 Two Loyola Year 11 or Year 12 students will have the opportunity to be part of the Jesuit Partner Schools East Timor Immersion Project to be held in June/July 2020. Loyola has sent representatives for many years to this.

There will be a formation weekend held at St Ignatius College, Geelong on May 16 and 17 in 2020.

The draft itinerary: 21 June: Darwin, 22 – 25 June: Dili/Kasait, 26 June– 01 July: Railaco, 02 - 05 July: Dili, 06 July: Melbourne.

Cost: The estimated cost of this immersion is subsidized by the College with a cost to the student of $1800 and the student will be required to participate in fundraising that will be used to assist the East Timorese people. The Loyola student body will help with this.

Applications: Applications for this immersion are NOW due on Friday, 11 October. Students need to write to Mr Favrin, stating the reasons why they should be selected as Loyola’s representatives for the East Timor.

FROM DEPUTY PRINCIPAL TEACHING AND LEARNING

Year 7 - 9 Mentor Academic Conversation The Year 7 – 9 Mentor Academic Conversations will be held on October 10 (3:45 – 7:15pm). We encourage all parents and guardians to make an interview time, as this will be the final formal opportunity to discuss how your child is travelling, with reference to NAPLAN, and how to prepare for the final assessments and examinations. Please be aware that this round of reports are available online prior to the interviews.

Unit 4 Trial Examinations Report A reminder that all students studying a Unit 4 subject will receive an individual statement of Trial Examination results following the correction of all papers. This report will be sent via email in the first week of Term Four. Any issues concerning the Trial examinations should be directed to Ms Staub.

Year 10 Supplementary Exams Any Year 10 student who did not achieve 50% or more in their semester one exam(s) and who are continuing this subject(s) in Unit 1 and 2 will need to sit a Supplementary Exam(s). The Supplementary Examinations commence on Wednesday, 25 September and conclude on Monday, 30 September and are compulsory. There are no exams on Friday 27 September, as this is a public holiday.

Both Parents/Carers and students have received a copy of their Supplementary Examination Timetable via their email. This schedule allows enough time to prepare for the Supplementary Examinations, as well as undertake their routine study and homework for their subjects.

Year 11 Business Management We have spent five weeks studying marketing in Year 11 Business Management, and in that time, the students have really enjoyed many fun learning activities. Below, Tina Tran, a Year 11 Business Management Student, describes some of the highlights.

As a part of our topic on Marketing in Year 11 Business Management, our class had the pleasure of having Mr Cuddon join one of our classes to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for the band KISS, and to learn about the significance of advertisement and marketing strategies. The presentation consisted of several rare merchandise items that Mr Cuddon has collected over the years, each with their own little story to come with it. With an insight into the band’s history and notable moments, our class got to learn about how essential marketing is to establish a successful brand… or in this case, band.

To further our understanding on this unit, the two business classes ventured on a trip to Westfield Doncaster to witness how marketing is active everywhere that we go, and how it influences our choices and perceptions of certain items and brands as everyday consumers. Thank you to Mr Prout and Ms Murray for making our learning so much fun.

FROM STUDENT PROGRAMS COORDINATOR: YEARS 7-9

LSC Week September 02-06, 2019 LSC week was a highlight for this term as our Loyola Student Council organised a week of activities that brought students and staff together to enjoy some competitive fun and rivalries. The following is a reflection from two of our 2019 LSC representatives.

LSC week is always a fun week to look forward to in the school year and this year was no exception. With the support of Ms Staub and Ms Crowe, we had a great week and trialled a number of new activities along with some old favourites that were all very successful.

We kicked it off on Monday with the annual footy day. Students were encouraged to come dressed in their favourite footy colours. At lunchtime the much anticipated Staff vs Students touch footy match was held on the footy oval. Our MC, Mr O’Keefe kept us all entertained while students lined up for our world-famous BBQ sausages. This year the students won in a truly embarrassing defeat for the teachers, but I’m sure the teachers will want to come back next year and regain the bragging rights (and their reputation!). On Tuesday we had a new activity: we hired bubble soccer suits, and students were able to come down and challenge their friends to matches of bubble soccer. We had an excellent turnout, and everyone who attended had a blast. On Thursday we trialled another new event: the Year 11 vs Year 12 soccer match. The lunchtime rivalry of these year levels is famous and in a hard fought match the Year 12s triumphantly won. This was a huge success and will be continued for years to come. Finally, on Friday we saw the return of the popular LSC Hot Jam Doughnuts, which sold well as always.

LSC Representatives

Over the week, the LSC’s efforts at fundraising (sausage sizzle, donuts and casual clothes day), raised money for school projects and for the work of Catholic Mission. The LSC are always interested in hearing from students about how you would like to improve our school.

If you have any ideas about what you want implemented in the school to make it better, approach your friendly Year Level LSC representative or email us at [email protected]. Once again thanks for making LSC week such a successful week, we hope you all enjoyed it and we hope to be able to provide just as much fun next year.

College Morning Tour The next Monday Morning Tour will be held on Monday, 07 October from 9:15am to 11:00am. The tour will include Morning Tea with our Principal, Mr Joseph Favrin.

Bookings are essential via www.trybooking.com/452507

Working Bee – Saturday, 07 September A big thank you to over 30 people who ventured out in the cold weather to assist in creating a new garden bed along College Road. It was the last Working Bee for 2019 and to see what is achieved at every Working Bee is a credit to the parents who volunteer and our great Gardening team lead by Mr David Kelly.

Farewell to our Exchange Students It is hard to believe that for 13 students – 6 from France, 6 from Italy and 1 from Germany that their 10-week Exchange Program has come to an end as they fly out on Saturday, 21 July. There is no doubt that there will lots of tears at the airport as the homestay families bid them farewell. Their time at Loyola allowed them to experience what education is like in Australia, it was also a great way for them to improve their English and to gain an insight into the lives of an Australian family.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the families that assisted with the homestays, it is not an easy task to take in an overseas student for 10 weeks, for some homestay families this was their first experience and much was learnt from the experience.

If you are interested in hosting a student in 2020, please send me an email.

CROSSWORD

STUDENT OF THE FORTNIGHT

FROM THE STUDENTS

On the final day of this term, two staff and ten students from Years 7 to 11 will be attending the Schools 4 Climate Change strike in the CBD. Students are very excited to be representing the College at this important event, demonstrating for urgent climate change action to be taken by the Australian Government. In Term 1, a climate strike at Loyola was organised which saw students and staff photographed on campus grounds with signs condemning climate change inaction, coinciding with another Schools 4 Climate Change strike which attracted over 15,000 participants from across Australia. We are very proud to have Loyola students attending the event this term, and I would like to thank the students for their devotion to this immensely important cause.

Earlier in the term, Loyola College celebrated its first Sustainability Week where the students engaged in numerous activities run by the Environmental Club, including fundraising, mentor quizzes, a screening of The Lorax, and Loyola’s first ever attempt at at a Plastic Free St Ignatius Day, organised by Mr Keegan. The week was very exciting for all students involved in the club, and we look forward to increasing engagement next year.

Pie Day Friday fundraising, a Loyola College initiative, has continued this year with great success. Already, the Loyola Environmental Club has raised a third of the money for an incubator for Healsville Sanctuary to be used in their wildlife centre to care for baby animals. With additional fundraising planned to take place in Term 4 and the continued support from the College community, we are confident that we can meet our goal. Additionally, members of the Loyola Environmental Club and the junior EcoWarriors will be visiting the zoo on a special excursion in the coming weeks.

Students who wish to be more involved in Sustainability at Loyola College are encouraged to attend our environmental meetings at Monday lunchtimes in O108. Additionally, Mr Morgan would like to thank students for their continued participation in the TravelSmart Challenge.

Sean Adi-Purnomo (11 AMOK)

Sean has been actively involved with the Environmental Club and the EcoWarriors for the entirety of the year. He regularly helps out at events and is passionate about the issue. In addition, Sean has always been happy to assist in all activities, even speaking at assembly. This is Sean’s first year at Loyola and we are sure he will continue to be a valuable asset to the Environmental Club at Loyola. 

Neve Owens (12 AMDA)

Students and staff from Loyola College have been very involved in promoting sustainability in and around the community this year. From Climate Change strikes and fundraising to the launch of Loyola’s first Sustainability Week, it has been very exciting to see so many students doing their part in looking after our environment.

Solutions: In the next Ignatian

Junior ACS Grand Final Results A great week for Loyola Sport yesterday with 11 junior teams winning premierships (from 17 finals). That’s 140 junior students who got to experience winning a premiership with their companions! Students will receive their premiership medals at the end of year Sports Presentation Assembly.

The Premiership is the culmination of approximately 60 hours of playing, travelling and training together – and doing it better than the other schools in the ACS.

I want to particularly congratulate our two winning Soccer A teams. Before yesterday we had never won an A grade boys Soccer Cup in 21 years of ACS competition – and last week we won two, so its exciting times for Soccer at Loyola.

Year 8 Football, Year 7 A Basketball, and Year 9 A Basketball also completed undefeated seasons going 11-0 for the Winter!

It also completes an outstanding year by our Girls Basketball teams, with Loyola winning 7 of the 8 Girls Basketball Premierships across all year levels in the ACS.

The Year 9A team has completed the 3-Peat, winning the premiership as a group in Year 7, 8 and 9. Loyola 36 defeated St Leonard’s 27 Scorers: Charli Luke 13, Tahlia Read 10 MVP: Bonnie McCall
