Farewell Father Hal

Last Sunday, St Patrick’s Cathedral held a farewell for Fr Hal Ranger to celebrate his many years of service to the parish and to the wider community. Fr Hal has been a long time friend of the College and has been involved at St Saviour’s College for many years. He has often led year level masses, reflections and liturgies with students and has always been a valued member of our community. We take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank Fr Hal for his service to our school and the gift of gentle dignity and wisdom he has offered over his many years of service. Fr Hal, you will be missed.

'CHOOKAS' TO College musical students

As this newsletter goes to print, our outstanding students are in the thick of final preparations for our performance of Elf the Musical this weekend. I take this opportunity to wish all the staff and students involved all the very best for what I know will be an exceptional display of talent, diligence and creativity. I can't wait to see you all on stage!

SSC NAPLAN results outperform state 

As per earlier correspondence, I am delighted to report on the College’s exceptional NAPLAN results that were reported to the College over the break.

Both our Year 7 and Year 9 cohorts have achieved outstanding results across a number of domains, performing particularly strongly in both the reading and writing domains - key drivers for future success in senior subjects in senior schooling and beyond. From the graphs below, you can see that in both Year 7 and 9, our great College has far exceeded the rest of the state in both reading and, particularly, writing.

These results are a testament to the diligence and creativity of your daughter, her tenacity and commitment to great effort in the tests and of course, the outstanding instruction and skill development your daughter is receiving across all subjects here at SSC. Numeracy continues to be an area where we place our focus and energy. Despite numeracy being lower than the other domains, we are pleased to report that the 2024 numeracy results are as high as they have ever been and the Year 9 results represent a strong improvement by this cohort. As a College, we are addressing our numeracy results in a number of ways. These include: identifying the gaps in student understanding that are blocking student progress, working with small groups of students with targeted programming and building the mathematical vocabulary and problem solving skills of students.

Parents of students in Years 7 and 9 have received their daughter’s individual NAPLAN results in in hard copy via their home class teacher, on Wednesday of this week.

New staff

It brings me great delight to introduce two new staff members to the College, replacing Mrs Juanita Doherty while she is on leave and Mrs Geldard as she heads off on Maternity leave later this term. Mrs Rasmussen has also taken a short amount of leave at the beginning of this term and will return in Week 6. Mr Joel Farrell comes to us from St Joseph’s College and is a teacher of Science, Maths and PE. Mr Farrell is passionate about building girls’ confidence both in the classroom and on the sporting field. He is a keen hockey player. Mr Michael Voelkel comes to us from Melbourne, following a career change from software engineering and investment banking. Mr Voelkel will be teaching mathematics, science and digital technology. Please join me in offering these gentlemen a warm Mercy welcome.

Master plan 2025-2035

I am currently seeking feedback and suggestions from all parents for our Master Plan. The master plan will offer a vision for the College, including priorities for redevelopment, renovation and improvement. Please click here to provide your feedback. 

Sentral Parent Portal

I had great joy at the end of last term immersing myself in the outstanding results of your daughters, as communicated on their semester one report card. If you have not yet been able to access the parent portal, please contact my PA: Ms Nikki Zimmerle to assist with your login (Nikki.Zimmerle@twb.catholic.edu.au) The Sentral parent portal is the College’s preferred mode of official communication, and it is important that you are receiving all communications from us.

Discussing your daughter’s learning

I would like to remind all parents that our door is always open, and we are keen to work in partnership with you to support your daughter at school. While formal parent teacher interviews are not scheduled until next term, our teaching staff and leadership team are always willing to meet with you to discuss and unpack student results and set goals with you and your daughter. The best way to organise these depends on how many teachers you wish to meet with. If you have a concern or question regarding one specific subject, it is best to reach out via email to the specific teacher. If you have concerns across a range of subjects, scheduling a meeting with both your daughter’s home class teacher and her year level pastoral leader could be a great starting point.

Michelle Reid is the year level pastoral leader for years 7-8 and Mrs Kim Benvenuti is the year level pastoral leader for years 9-10.

The future is YOUR property

This week on assembly, I described the feeling of purchasing my first home many years ago. It wasn’t long after commencing my teaching career and I recalled the feeling of excitement as I adapted to the idea that this small block of land, and the humble house sitting upon, was all mine. I began dreaming of what it might look like next week… next month… next year! I cared for it more than any other place or space I had lived in, and enjoyed investing my time, energy and money into forming it exactly how I wanted.  

I explained to our Mercy Girls that although owning their own home might not be possible just yet, their future is a piece of real estate each one of them already owned. “Your future is YOUR property” was my message to them. Young people are not only invited but encouraged to dream without limits when imagining their futures. Just like we do when creating our dream homes, they should go in search of inspiration, do their research, trial and error, and not be afraid to take some design risks!  

As students return from break, they are encouraged to make choices and take actions that progress them towards their dreams. Whether it be building new routines to support better time management, designing a new study schedule, booking a meeting with the careers office to discuss pathway options, making choices to improve health and fitness, organising some work experience, starting an assignment immediately, taking more thorough notes in class, or more confidently asking questions when school work is becoming confusing, each decision and action is a step towards making the dream a reality.   

Academic awards ceremony

Our semester two academic awards ceremony will take place next Thursday following our Grandparents Day Mass. Award recipients and their parents have been notified by email. We look forward to presenting our gold, silver and bronze awardees at this celebration and are particularly excited to acknowledge the growth and efforts of our first time award recipients. The criteria for receiving an award is below: 

Subject selection evening 

With a record number of attendees this year, it was wonderful to see so many parents and students at the 2024 subject selection evening. I appreciated the opportunity to engage with families as they explored the many learning options and pathways available at the College. The online subject selection process is now open to students in year 8, 9 and 10. These selections must be finalised at the end of week 3 (26 July). Students are advised to speak with their teachers, their curriculum leaders and Mrs Delahunty, our Careers Development Practitioner, if they are requiring some extra guidance selecting their subject.  

Mrs Delahunty, Mrs Hunter, Mrs Gray and I are busy finalising the details of our Year 10 Setting Sail Conference which will be held at the Gold Coast Performance Centre from the 14 - 16 August. The theme of Setting Sail has been chosen to reflect our students embarking on a journey into senior school. We acknowledge the significance of this transition and we are confident that attendance at the three-day conference will support our students to successfully navigate their journey into senior school. More information about this conference will be sent out in the coming week.  

Images of learning 

Despite the cold, it has been lovely walking about the College the last fortnight and seeing our girls seamlessly transition back into student mode. Thanks Miss Dempster, Mrs Collins, Mrs Holmes and Miss Croker for welcoming me into your classrooms last week. Our girls showed excellence in their different classrooms and were focussed and engaged in their learning.

Assistant Principal - Wellbeing and Engagement

Welcome back everyone to Term 3…it’s always a busy one! I hope the girls had a restful, rejuvenating break where they took up my challenge from last term to find out what self-care strategies they can use coming into this busy term. I asked them to work out what fills their cup and helps them get through difficult periods. This looks different for everyone especially our adolescent girls. I did ensure them it did not mean extended periods on technology or binging on Netflix!  

Next Wednesday morning we have Brainstorm Productions coming to present “The Flipside” performance to our year 7-10 students. The Flipside is a live theatre experience that addresses (cyber)bullying, online safety, digital citizenship, bystander behaviour and online ethics. The performance highlights the importance of personal responsibility, empathy, respect and values in the online and offline worlds. Brainstorm Productions is one of Australia’s most experienced and respected theatre in education companies, performing to over 260,000 students every year and endorsed by the eSafety Commissioner as a Trusted eSafety Provider.  

We also have our Year 11 students participating in the RACQ Driver IQ Program, a safety awareness program. The program is both interactive and engaging and utilises a resilience-based approach to empower novice drivers to survive and thrive throughout their driving journey. Key aspects of each stage of this journey are explored including the required 100 learner hours, being a passenger and effectively dealing with them as a driver and handling breakdowns and accidents. Students are equipped with tangible, real-world strategies to enable them to maximise the learner phase in preparation for progression to the provisional driving phase and thriving beyond this. 

It is hoped that these presentations equip our students with knowledge and empower them to make positive, proactive choices as they continue to mature throughout adolescence.   

This week our Year 11 students embark on their leadership journey as they venture into their last year of schooling.  During Thursday’s year level assembly, not only did they get to vote on their senior jersey, but they were able to opt in to apply for a leadership position for 2024-25. I am excited about their applications and what this cohort can bring to our College in their final year.   

I have reminded students that once you have dropped them to the College or they arrive via the bus they are expected to enter straight into the College grounds. They are not to walk to cafes, shops etc. as their safety once arriving is a part of our duty of care. It would be appreciated if you could discuss this with your daughters and ensure they understand that they are to enter straight into the College where they can be supervised.

NAIDOC Week

This year, St Saviour’s College celebrated NAIDOC Week with a series of meaningful activities and events that highlighted the rich cultural heritage of First Nations peoples and fostered a deeper understanding and respect within our school community.

Home class activities and Mercy Shield competition

The week kicked off with a Mercy Shield competition, where students participated in various First Nations games and relays during sport. The games not only promoted physical activity but also provided a fun and interactive way to appreciate First Nations' culture and traditions.

NAIDOC Week Assembly at St Saviour’s College

St Saviour’s College celebrated NAIDOC Week with a special assembly, welcoming students from the primary school to join in the festivities. The assembly began with Geneene, a traditional custodian of the Western Wakka Wakka Nation, who performed a smoking ceremony. This ceremony not only grounded us in the significance of the land but also connected us deeply to the rich cultural heritage of the First Nations peoples.

This year's theme is "Keep the Fire Burning! Blak (Black) Loud and Proud!". This theme emphasises the importance of preserving and celebrating First Nations cultural traditions and knowledge. Geneene started our assembly with a heartfelt Welcome to Country, which highlighted the significance of the land we gather on and honoured the traditions of the First Nations peoples.

A highlight of the assembly was the cultural dance performed by Flossy from Dauan Island. The traditional dance captivated the audience and showcased the beauty and grace of her cultural heritage.

The assembly's guest speaker, Paul Carmody, a lecturer in First Nations Studies at the University of Southern Queensland, provided insightful commentary on First Nations culture and history. Paul's extensive knowledge and dedication to educating others about First Nations perspectives greatly enriched our understanding. He spoke passionately about the cultural significance of acknowledging Traditional Owners and native plants, emphasising the importance of preserving and respecting these traditions.

NAIDOC Week at St Saviour’s College was a profound and enriching experience, leaving us all with a deeper respect for the First Nations peoples and a commitment to keeping the fire of their cultural heritage burning brightly.

Igniting Creativity exhibition

As part of the NAIDOC Week celebrations, Year 12 visual art in practice student Kyomie attended the Grand Central, Igniting Creativity exhibition where she showcased her artwork ‘Legacy of Resilient Spirits: Blak, Loud and Proud!’ To Kyomie this piece aims to celebrate her heritage, increase voice in her community and showcase her pride. She says, "Now we stand united, embracing our identity and continuing the legacy our elders left for the next generation".

Celebrating Catholic Education Week

As we approach Catholic Education Week, we are reminded of the incredible contributions Catholic education has made to the holistic development of our students. This special week provides us with an opportunity to reflect on our values, celebrate our achievements, and strengthen our community.

Grandparent's Day mass

We are thrilled to invite you to our Grandparent's Day mass, which will be held on Thursday, 25 July, in the Callaghan Centre. This cherished event is a wonderful opportunity to honour the important role grandparents play in the lives of our students and to celebrate the bonds of family and faith that unite us all. The mass will begin at 8:45am, followed by morning tea. We encourage all grandparents and family members to join us for this special celebration.

Bishop's Inservice Day

Please be reminded that Friday, 26 July, will be a student-free day. All staff members will be attending the Bishop's Inservice Day, which is being hosted by St Joseph's College. This day is dedicated to professional development and spiritual growth, allowing our staff to deepen their understanding of our Catholic identity and enhance their capacity to support our students' education and faith formation.

Theme: “Communities of Faith, Hope and Love”

The theme for this year’s Catholic Education Week is “Communities of Faith, Hope and Love.” This theme invites us to reflect on the core values that underpin our Catholic education system. It encourages us to foster communities where faith is nurtured, hope is inspired, and love is central to all our interactions. By embodying these values, we create a nurturing environment where every student can thrive.

The essence of Catholic Education

Catholic Education:

• Is a faith-based education which places the values of Jesus at its centre
• Is a high-quality, holistic education for 1 in 5 young Queenslanders, educating them to be well-informed, highly skilled, and constructive members of the community
• Values diversity and treats each student with dignity, enabling them in turn to promote and respect the dignity of all
• Nurtures in students a commitment to social justice and a critical social consciousness
• Prepares students for global responsibilities through stewardship of the earth’s resources
• Is an integral part of the local and universal church
• Occurs in welcoming, inclusive, and connected communities

We look forward to seeing our students and their families actively participating in Catholic Education Week activities and celebrating the rich tradition of catholic education together. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our school community.

Rosies launch: our focus for Term 3 community service

As we embark on a new term, our commitment to community service and outreach remains unwavering. This term, we are proud to launch our fundraising and advocacy efforts for Rosies, an organisation dedicated to supporting those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or socially isolated.

The mission of Rosies

Rosies' mission is to ensure that no Queenslander feels left out or disconnected from their community. They provide friendship, unconditional acceptance, and essential services to those in need. Many of Rosies' patrons find the connection and conversation offered to be as crucial as safe accommodation and food. In times of distress, the simple act of a chat and a warm smile can significantly impact an individual’s mental and physical wellbeing.

Our role and commitment

Our school has a longstanding tradition of supporting those in our community who are vulnerable. This term, we aim to deepen this commitment through various initiatives:

• Food donations: We are collecting two-minute noodles, cup-a-soups, cordial, paper towel rolls, tinned foods, and toiletries.
• Winter woolies: Any gently used shoes, clothes, scarves, and gloves will be greatly appreciated.

NAWIC event 

On Thursday 11 July a number of our aspiring Lady Tradies attended the NAWIC (National Association of Women In Construction) Careers event at TAFE. The girls heard from a fantastic group of female role models currently working in construction related trades and fields. The girls were lucky enough to talk to each role model and hear about their journey into construction and some great life advice including about how there can be many different routes in career journeys, there are worthwhile opportunities for women in construction and that everyone has to start somewhere. We also reconnected and heard from a past Mercy Girl now running her own construction business! This was a really inspiring morning for our girls.

Library News

Welcome

It is hard to believe that Term 3 is already upon us and so much is happening this term! In our library it is our big celebration of all things literary. Two main celebrations this term: 

Library and Information Week and Book Week 

Our culminating celebration of Book Week is always a big week and everything we do beforehand leads us to this celebration of literature. Book Week will be celebrated in week 7 and the theme is “Reading is Magic” and we will be transforming our library around this theme, so come on down and check it out closer to the date. 

Our Book Week quiz will be held on Wednesday during sport in the Hall for years 7-10. This is also a dress-up day for all years and a gold coin donation going to Indigenous Literacy Foundation – there will be more on this in the coming newsletters.  

This will be a very busy but fulfilling term, and here in the library we are anticipating a great response to all the activities and competitions we will be running through the term. 

Library and Information Week 

What is the relationship between a library and democracy? Will it continue unchanged, even in the global context of geopolitical conflict and social unrest? What is it that libraries do that make a tangible difference to living in an open, democratic society? 

ALIA (Australian Library and Information Association) are putting on some events during this week (all information retrieved from the ALIA website: 

Program of events through ALIA 

29 July – Libraries supporting the separation of powers: parliament, courts and executive 
12:30pm – 1:30pm AEST 2023, Zoom 

The information and collections contained within our government, parliamentary and special libraries and archives is essential to upholding democracy at the day-to-day level. They are the ‘roots’ that support our systems, activities and institutions: not always seen, but everywhere felt. What does this work look like in practice? What kinds of information do these libraries and archives curate and for whom? What are some of the most interesting requests they’ve received? In this first session of the week, we’ll get answers from representatives from libraries and archives around Australia to these questions (and many more) and get their view on why freedom of and access to information is so essential to a strong a thriving democracy. Free for ALIA members, $25 for non-members. Register here. 

30 July – Literacy and Democracy: how the LIS sector combats mis and dis information 
12:30pm – 1:30pm AEST, Zoom 

Ensuring that individuals of all ages are equipped with media and information literacy skills is core business for those working in the library and information sector. This is particularly prescient in the context of elections, referendums, political conflicts and the mis and dis information that can surround them. For democracy to not only function but also to endure, we must have a citizen-base that can successfully navigate the information ecosystem to make informed decisions about their future. In this session, we will hear from media literacy leaders from the library, GLAM, higher education and media sectors on what they are doing to combat mis and dis information in this context. 

A list of resources for people to use will be made available after the webinar. Free for ALIA members, $25 for non-members. Register here. 

31 July – Towards pluralism: democracy strengthening activities in the international context 
12:30pm – 1:30pm AEST, Zoom 

Libraries across Europe are now running democracy strengthening activities focussed on the idea that libraries should be pushing for ‘plurality not neutrality’. This webinar will feature two international library leaders who have been involved in these initiatives and who will share examples of how supporting pluralism can strengthen social cohesion. Free for ALIA members, $25 for non-members. Register here. 

ALIA QLD annual trivia night 2024 – On Your Bookmarks! 
6:00pm – 10:00pm, Brisbane QLD 

Join us for more exciting competitions and games at this year’s annual ALIA Queensland Trivia Night.

ALIA members $30 and $40 for non-members. Register here. 

1 August – Discovering Democracy: collections of political and cultural ephemera in Australia  
12:30pm – 1:30pm AEST, Zoom 

Many libraries and archives around the country have collections of political and cultural ephemera, giving all Australians insight into our political history. In this webinar we’ll hear from representatives involved in these collections, explore some of the challenges of digitisation, and make links between seemingly temporary items and the strengthening of a democratic society. Free for ALIA members, $25 for non-members. Register here. 

2 August – Democracy in the dark: A discussion on the impact of information control, AI and censorship
12:30pm – 1:30pm AEST, Zoom 

Access to information is a pillar of democracy and a core value of library and information services in Australia. But what is the impact on democracy when information is controlled by social, technological and economic factors? With growing movements towards censorship, the rise of AI authorship, information increasingly kept behind paywalls or just disappearing from non-permanent homes, our panellists will the mechanisms they’re using to keep as much information as possible in the light. Free for ALIA members, $25 for non-members. Register here.
