Staff Days

Today, as this newsletter goes to print, I have witnessed our staff working collaboratively on planning for Australian Curriculum Version 9 and beginning to look at the changes that will be implemented in Senior Syllabuses from 2025 onwards.

We are so fortunate to have incredible teachers at our school who are passionate about their subjects, experts in their areas and people who love educating young people.

Here are some of the learning highlights for me this term:

• Watching Mrs Hannam deliver a lesson of titration to her Year 12 Chemistry class and seeing the laughter and joy these students had in their learning.
• Participating in Ms Stewart’s week-long poll of students in Art classes of who would win the Archibald Prize and then hearing their cries of disgust when the winner announced (Portrait of Tim Winton) was not their vote.
• Watching the senior hospitality class print thank you labels and hand deliver coffees to each of our school officers using their newly acquired barista skills and brand new coffee cart.
• Walking into Mrs Sretenovic’s Literature class and seeing the Year 11s and 12s immersed in creative writing and weaving symbolism and metaphor throughout their writing.
• Being enveloped into Mrs G’s Japanese classroom, observing students doing their work whilst comforted by lap blankets and the smell of Japanese soy sauce.
• Seeing groups of students work with school officers on the QuickSmart numeracy program, watching their growth and joy at practicing their number facts and improving every day in a fun and fast paced environment.

We are privileged to have such exceptional teachers at St Saviour’s College. Please join with me in wishing them a restful and rejuvenating break.

Merit Day

It was wonderful to meet with Megan Schulze on Monday of this week to read through the list of names of students whose behaviours have been so exemplary, whose attendance has been so consistent and whose commitment to learning has been so diligent that they qualified for the merit trip, held yesterday.

I wish to extend my congratulations to all those students who qualified for the Merit Trip this term. It is no easy feat to meet these benchmarks. Our expectations for our students are high because we know our students are exceptional and capable of meeting and exceeding them every time.

Work experience

I have heard many wonderful stories of students on Work Experience this week. Last week on assembly, I shared my own experience of work experience - a week in a veterinarian clinic that will be forever etched into my memory! (You might note that I am not a veterinarian.)

Many students will find work experience to be fun and enjoyable, and probably the same amount will find it to be boring, tedious or difficult. As I said on assembly to all students last week, a difficult experience of work experience will teach us just as much as an enjoyable one. I commend all Year 10 students for their efforts this week. Work experience forms an important piece of the senior schooling planning journey, a journey that continues next term.

Staffing Changes

Mrs Juanita Doherty has been on part time Long Service Leave in Semester One this year. She will be continuing this leave into Semester Two. We wish her a rejuvenating, restful and well-earned sojourn and look forward to welcoming her back at the beginning of 2025.

In Term 2, we will welcome two new Science and Maths Teachers, Michael Voelkel and Joel Farrell. These teachers will be taking over from Mrs Geldard whilst she is on Maternity leave and Mrs Doherty whilst on leave.

We will also welcome Mrs Stephanie Bauer to the role of Marketing and Communication Officer in Semester Two. 

I wish all families a wonderful break. We look forward to welcoming all students back to school on Tuesday 11 July.

Year 10 Subject Selections

In Term 3, all Year 10s will participate in subject selection processes. The subject selection process is made up of the following steps:

1. Analysis of self: What are my strengths? What are my interests? What are my goals for the future?

2. Fact-finding – through consultation with Career Development Practitioner (CDP), 2024 QTAC prerequisite guide and university websites.

3. The completion of a SET Plan (undertaken in Career lessons this term)

4. Consultation with Subject Selection handbooks (emailed to students and parents)

5. Attend subject selection evening on 15 July (Monday Week 2) with your child.

6. Select subjects via web portal by 26 July 2024.

7. Participation in Setting Sail Conference 14 August - 16 August at Southport.

8. Late Term 3, notification of assigned classes for senior schooling.

9. Term 4 - All Year 10 students begin Senior Schooling subjects.

It is our privilege each year to walk beside Year 10 students on this hope-filled journey as they plan for their futures and create a pathway that is meaningful and empowering for each of them, individually. Mrs Louise Delahunty (CDP) and myself are here to assist and are happy to help at any stage of the subject discernment process.

Year 7-10 Reports

Students have now completed their Semester One 2024 subjects. The semester report will be published on Friday 21 June and provides a final achieved mark and learning behaviours feedback for each subject for your child.

Academic progress:

For each of their subjects, students are allocated an A - E grade.

Learning behaviours:

Student learning behaviours reflect our focus on empowering students as learners and encourage students to exhibit positive and purposeful learning behaviours. These learning behaviours encompass four areas of school life and are measured using a simple 3-point scale (Consistently, Generally, Needs Attention).

Reports in the Parent Portal

All report cards, both this one and previous reports, are available in the College Parent Portal. If you have any problems accessing the Parent Portal, please contact Nikki Zimmerle at the College. The reports may be accessed under “Student Details” option as well as on the newsfeed.

Requesting a Hard Copy of Your Daughter’s Report

If you would like to collect a ‘hard copy’ report, please contact the College by phoning 4637 1600 or by email welcome@ssctwb.catholic.edu.au and we will have one printed and in the office for collection.

Self-care 

As the holidays approach, it's a wonderful opportunity for students to take a moment to pause, reset, and realign in preparation for Term 3. This period of rest is not just a break from studies, but a crucial time for self-care and personal growth. Michelle Mitchell, an advocate for youth wellbeing, emphasises the importance of self-care for teenagers, particularly during the transformative years of high school. Her insights offer valuable guidance for students to nurture their wellbeing. 

Self-care is a dynamic process that evolves with us, and what works for one may not work for another. It's about finding joy in the things that resonate with our personal needs and desires. As Mitchell suggests, self-care for a teenager is vastly different from that of a younger child or an adult. It's a time for exploration and discovering what truly helps one to recharge and feel fulfilled.  Mitchell explains “Emotions, just like waves, have a limited life span.  When a young person practices self-care they ride the wave of intense emotion until it passes.  Emotions demand movement.  When emotions are escalating, they quickly move young people in either a helpful or unhelpful direction. The more educated young people are, the more self-care options they have to choose from to help regulate their emotions and avoid the overwhelming spiral.” 

Mitchell encourages students to engage in comforting activities that soothe the senses, such as cuddling with a soft blanket or enjoying the warmth of a candlelit room/bath. Creating is another avenue for self-expression and emotional regulation; whether it's through music, art, or journaling, these activities allow for a personal reflection and a creative outlet. 

Moreover, Mitchell advises that self-care should be an integral part of the family routine, allowing for a shared experience that can enhance the wellbeing of each member. Cooking healthy meals together, setting aside time for conversations, or participating in physical activities can all contribute to a supportive environment conducive to self-care. 

As we move into the holidays, it's essential for students to remember that self-care is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It's a personal journey that requires patience and experimentation. By trying out different strategies, students can find what truly brings them comfort and joy. This holiday, let's embrace the chance to pause, reset, and realign, ensuring that we return for Term 3 with renewed energy and a fresh perspective on our well-being.  Let's encourage our students to take this time to invest in themselves and their personal growth. We want holidays to be a time of learning, where they learn about themselves and what it takes for them to ride the emotional wave in a positive way and find what rejuvenates them when their flame is a little low.   

Merit trip 

Congratulations to those students who met the five criteria and went to the Strand to see Despicable Me 4 as a reward for this consistent effort.  I thank the students and parents who I have had conversations with around their daughters progress and as a Wellbeing and Engagement Team we value working in partnership with you. Those students who missed out on the reward, worked with me on reflection of the term, barriers to their success and looking at the strategies and supports each individual needs moving into Term 3.  Not going on Merit trip isn’t a punishment, it is a time for reflection to see how students can access the supports they need to be proficient in all criterions.  Termly merit trips also allow feedback given in shorter cycles and celebrate progress and small wins, rather than waiting a whole year for one big trip.  We hope to broadcast more information to parents and students consistently throughout the term to try to ensure we are working in partnership throughout the term so students can feel empowered to make changes throughout the term and work towards the merit trip goal.  The merit trip data is collected on areas where students have control to make changes.  It is not reflective of their academics but how they conduct themselves at school and building lifelong habits that will equip them after they finish school.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Wellbeing and Engagement Team at any point so we can provide supports where necessary.   

Term 3 reminders 

Over the holidays the uniform shop is open the following hours if you are finding that your daughter has outgrown her uniform or in need of the winter uniform:  

Also, a reminder about uniform requirements that may be impacted upon return to the College: 

• Students are only allowed one piercing in the lower earlobe, clear jewellery not to be worn in other piercings.  It is advised that students don’t get their second piercing/nose piercing etc as this does not allow enough time for it to heal and be removed to follow our College Uniform Policy 
• Students are to not have nail polish or fake nails.  Students can engage with this over the holidays but please ensure it is removed before returning on Tuesday, 9 July.   
• Students are only allowed one small set of earrings.  When students return, please remind them to remove all excess jewellery.  
• Students are allowed natural hair colour and style.  Please keep this in mind if your student is going to the hairdressers and the ability to look natural when they return.   

We value your help with these matters because as a Wellbeing and Engagement Team our focus and interaction with your daughter is not just around following the College Uniform Policy.  Although it is important work and one we value, especially for those students who continually do the right thing, we want our conversations to be broader and deeper with students about their wellbeing and how we can support them throughout the tricky time of adolescence.    Like you, we want to build lasting relationships that provide connections for students and make them feel known, natured and supported here at SSC.

Vinnie's Winter Appeal: A Heart-warming Success

Last Thursday, at our assembly we celebrated the incredible success of our Term 2 fundraising focus – the Winter Appeal for St Vinnies. The stage was adorned with the generous donations from our students, parents, and local businesses, many of which were collected during Catherine McAuley Day and diligently bundled up by our dedicated Youth Ministry team.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who collected, donated, and helped sort these items. Your generosity and hard work turned this Winter Appeal into a tremendous success.

We were honoured to welcome Julie from St Vinnies, who graciously accepted the donations. These contributions will be distributed to homeless people within our community, providing essential support and comfort during the harsh winter months.

The impact of your contributions cannot be overstated. The most vulnerable members of our community have been significantly affected by the rising cost of living in recent years. These donations offer warmth, hope, and a sense of community to those who need it most.

Thank you once again for your generosity and commitment to helping others. Together, we have made a significant difference in the lives of many within our community.

From the Careers Centre

Go Health Excursion 

On Thursday 13 June a group of St Saviour’s College students interested in careers in health, joined with students from St Joseph’s College to travel to the Go Health Expo in Brisbane. At the expo they were able to connect and network with providers from Health Departments, University and Colleges and Professionals working in healthcare in order to gain more insight into the many and varied careers and pathways in Health. The girls had a great day and came home with a pocketful of pens and many ideas and further questions to explore about working in the ever-expanding healthcare sector.  

Work Experience – Monday 17 June to Wednesday 19 June 

Year 10 students completed a successful work experience program for 3 days in this last week of Term 2. Students performed many different activities and they got to see what the job they had chosen was really like. They obtained insight into the skills the job requires and whether they were suited to it. Placements included working with Early Childhood Education, Aged Care, Pharmacy, Law through the Department of Justice and Attorney General, Court Services, Marketing, Vet Nursing, Primary Education, Hairdressing, Aviation and Exercise Physiology.   

We hope their experience inspires them to think about their future career; and that they continue to broaden their knowledge of the different careers available to them and the various pathways students take to get there. 

A special thanks to all the employers who participated in our program and supported our students. We thank all parents and the teachers who helped students in preparing for their placements. Thank you to all the staff who visited our students whilst they were out on Work Experience.

Spotlight on Maths

Women in Mathematics Week

In honour of ‘Women in Mathematics’ Day on May 12, the Mathematics department organised several activities leading up to this special day.

Here are some famous female mathematicians:

1. Hypatia: Hypatia, the first known female mathematics teacher in history, made significant contributions. Not only did she teach mathematics and astronomy (a rarity for women in ancient Egypt), but she also advanced the field. Her work on conic sections and the development of concepts related to ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas remains influential.

1. Maryam Mirzakhani: Born in Iran, Maryam Mirzakhani made exceptional contributions to the study of Riemann surfaces—a fascinating area of mathematics with intricate dynamics and geometry. Despite facing challenges as a woman in a male-dominated field, she persevered and became the first woman to receive the prestigious Fields Medal for her groundbreaking work. Her legacy continues to inspire future mathematicians.

Additionally, students participated in a logic quiz during lunch break. Here are some of the intriguing questions:

1. Newspaper Pages: If your newspaper has 20 pages (with the front cover as page 1 and the back cover as page 20), and you read every page, how many times do you have to turn the page?
2. Between 3 and 7: What number can be placed between 3 and 7 to create a value greater than 3 but less than 7?
3. Telephone Keypad: If you multiply all the numbers on a telephone keypad together, what number do you get?

Next term, students will have the opportunity to participate in a problem-solving competition. Stay tuned for more details!

Maths Support 

Students can continue to benefit from Maths Support—a valuable resource for extra assistance with their studies and understanding of mathematical concepts.

Welcome

Whew! Fandom Day was a roaring success. Our chosen charity was Hummingbird House – the only children’s hospice in Queensland. There will be a final wrap-up of all things Fandom Day next term. But… here are a few photos to keep you busy. 

First – we ran our book hunt through the school. Students had to find our little books that we had placed throughout the school, both in classrooms and outside. They received a little chocolate for finding it and a house point. 

Some of the goodies for sale: 

We also had our costume parade…not to give too much away but here are the sneak peaks at some of the staff and year 12 students: 

The winner of our Fandom Day poster competition was…Miami! Congratulations. 

Special mention to Aparna! 

What’s happening in the Library? 
End of term is here! Holiday reading is a go. 

Check out our Library Online Dashboard with lots of different titbits for these days and more will be added as more of our promotional days are celebrated. 

Next term: 
Book Week – Theme: Reading is Magic. We will be holding our annual quiz during sports time through Book Week near the end of August. This is also a dress up day. 

World Music Day to end the term! 

What Is World Music Day 2024? 
World Music Day 2024, also known as La Fête de la Musique, will celebrate music in all its forms, and the importance of music in peoples' lives. World Music Day was officially launched in 1982, in France, and became a major world music event that's now celebrated in over 120 countries every year.  

When Is World Music Day 2024? 
World Music Day 2024 will be celebrated this year on the 21 of June, during the summer solstice, with thousands of free public events taking place in over 700 cities. 

Why Do We Celebrate World Music Day? 
Music is loved all around the world, often bringing people together and spreading joy. World Music Day celebrates the positive power of music by encouraging people to gather, play their instruments, dance and sing together. Through the celebration of music, and the amateur and professional musicians who inspire us, World Music Day 2024 aims to provide free music for everyone to enjoy, whilst also promoting peace and positivity. 

Each year, people are encouraged to listen to their favourite music and share it with others. People are also urged to play their musical instruments outside in public spaces, neighbourhoods or parks for all to hear! 

World Music Day celebrates all kinds of music, including funk, jazz, rock, classical, folk, techno, blues and more. 

What Is the History of World Music Day? 
World Music Day originated in France in 1982. World Music Day was originally an idea thought of by the American musician Joel Cohen in the 1970s. He worked for a French radio station and wanted live music to be played on the evening of the 21st of June to welcome the first day of summer. The idea wasn’t adopted until 1982 when Jack Lang, a French composer, and Maurice Fleuret, a music journalist, joined France’s Ministry of Culture and encouraged the celebration of music along with amateur and professional musicians. They wanted live music to be available to everybody, no matter their heritage or background. And so, the first Fête de la Musique (World Music Day) was born!  

The first celebration was held in the streets of Paris; this became a huge success. In 1997, the European Party of Music charter was signed in Budapest, which encouraged countries outside of Europe to join in with the annual celebration of World Music Day. 

World Music Day is now celebrated around the world, and is free for everyone to enjoy.
