No.22 Principal’s Update
Dear Families, Students and Community Members,
School Production
The excitement is building in anticipation of this year’s school production “Hairspray” to be held in the College
hall on the nights of 17th-19th August. Former school captain Josh Mulcahy is again producing the show in
partnership with of our wonderful teachers: Kelly McConville
– P r oduc t i on Coordinator and
Performing Arts C o o r d i n a t o r ,
Demis Danoudis –
Music Coordinator and teache r s
assisting, Adelle Stevenson and Liz
E v a n s . I encourage you all

talented students p e r f o r m . I
congratulate all
students who are involved whether
in the cast, crew or band for their
d e d i c a t i o n throughout the year in preparing for this showcase event.
Whole School Review Update
At the end of Term 2, the department released a list of
accredited reviewers for the school to select from to
conduct our whole school review. In consultation with my Senior Advisor from the region, Simon Hamilton, we
selected Director of Ed Solutions, Jill Jackson, as the external reviewer and I have asked Peter Corkill, Principal
John Monash Science School and Kerrie Dowsley, Principal
St. Albans SC to be our Challenge partners. All panel members have received a copy of our self–evaluation
conducted back in Term 1 and copies of all key data sets.
The review process is completed over
two days. The first day is to be held on August 5 and will involve a school tour,
with panel members including School Council president Nicky Hersey, before
we get into an in depth discussion
about the findings from our self-evaluation and set up the terms of
reference and agenda for our second day. The second day scheduled for August 24th will
involve all members of the College leadership team joining the review panel and we will go into additional data
analysis and discussion around a couple of key identified
focus areas. There is also the potential for staff and students to provide input on this day. At the end of this day
potential goals, targets and key improvement strategies will be drafted for the College community to consider for our
new Strategic Plan.

Parent Survey 2016
The use of opinion data to monitor school performance
is a very important step towards making our school the
best it can possibly be. Annual and anonymous opinion
surveys for staff, students and parents are conducted
and the information gained is used to drive school
improvements and shape the future direction of the
College. Over the next week it is the parents’ turn to
tell us what they think. Randomly selected families
should have received a parent opinion survey in the
mail at the start of the week and we ask that these
families please take the time to complete the survey
and return the completed survey to the General Office
at school by Friday 29 July. In anticipation, I thank
you for your time and considered responses. Please
note all students returning the survey to the General
Office will receive a $5 canteen voucher.
French Competition
Congratulations to all our students who participated in
the recent Berthe Mouchette French Poetry
Competition. We had 11 finalists from the Year 7&8
levels and they participated in the follow up competition
last Sunday with the support of French teacher Bibi
Peerbux. Students were required to recite their poem
individually again but this time in front of two assessors
at the Alliance Française de Melbourne. Results are still
to be released. I would like to thank Bibi Peerbux for
providing this opportunity for our students.

Over the past few weeks the Year 7 cohort has been privileged to participate in a variety of activities including African drumming, crepe day and the finals of the Berthe Mouchette poetry competition.
All three provided a unique experience to immerse ourselves in a range of cultures.
African Drumming
The African drumming workshop was organised for the Year 7 students to celebrate cultural diversity as well as to raise cultural knowledge and awareness about Francophone countries.
The African drumming was an enjoyable experience even for those without rhythmical talent.
We created layered rhythms employing traditional percussion instrumentals whilst learning of the harsh lifestyle of the poor people in Ghana. The entire year level avidly played their allocated instrumentals. The atmosphere was electric.
Crepe Day
After paying $4.00 per serving, the entire school was able to enjoy a delicious crepe with their choice of topping and complimentary fruit. The meandering queue spoke for itself.
The crepe stall was a huge success!
Berthe Mouchette
After participating in the preliminary rounds, five lucky finalists from Year 7 travelled to Alliance Francaise in St.Kilda to compete in the final rounds. We recited the poem ‘La Fourmi’ by Robert Desnos. Fingers crossed our efforts see us through.
A bientot.

We are very proud of our students’ achievements this year. The results came out a week ago and the standard has been raised at a higher level in 2016 with 11 finalists from the Year 7 and 8 SEAL classes. From the figures sent by Kellee Lewis, the competition Coordinator at the Alliance Française de Melbourne, 1010 participants were selected as finalists from different participating schools across Victoria in the Years 3-10 Poetry recital category, compared to only 920 last year.
Please note that the Year 9 -12 Levels also
participate in a written test competition. The
Years 9-10 levels completed their written tests
last term, whereas the Years 11-12 students
will be doing their Oral in August. Both results
for the Years 11-12 Levels will be announced
before the end of Term 3.

Tickets for this year’s Mordialloc College production,
Hairspray, are now on sale. Order yours now so as not
to miss out on the show of the year!
It’s 1962 in Baltimore, Maryland, and quirky, plus-sized,
teenage Tracy Turnblad has one dream: to dance on The
Corny Collins Show. When she gets put in detention with
the African-American students in the school, they teach
her some of their dance moves, and her newfound
groove wins her a spot on Corny’s show. Overnight,
Tracy transforms from a nobody into a star, and uses her
influence to advocate for racial integration on the
television show. Tracy faces scrutiny and bullying from
the network producer, Velma, and her popular, but
vicious, daughter, Amber. Will Tracy be able to overcome
the odds and succeed in her mission to integrate The
Corny Collins Show? There’s only one way to find out:
come and see the show!
