IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT SUPERVISION TIMES Albert Park College provides staff supervision for students between 8.50am and 9am and between 3.10pm and 3.20pm.

Outside of these hours, school staff will not be available to supervise students and the supervision and/or the collection of students is the responsibility of parents/carers.

APC COMMUNITY

WELCOME PICNIC FOR OUR NEW PARENTS

Students should not attend APC outside of these supervised times unless they are attending a pre-arranged supervised activity (i.e. sports practice) that has been organised with a member of staff.

Aside from this, supervision is provided in the Library at the Danks St campus or the Reading Room at the Liberal Arts Campus, which are both open until 4.30pm each school day. Senior students may also use these spaces when they have study periods.

Last week the parents of our year 7s dropped into the Gasworks Arts Park to meet teachers and other parents at the APC Families Picnic.

To all our new APC parents, welcome to our community! We hope to see you at some of the great events put on by our official families organisation to support our school.

APC Families has got some big plans this year, so watch out for announcements.

PRINCIPALS SAY

ALTRUISM THE NEW CATCHCRY FOR THE YEAR AHEAD

Welcome back for another year of learning. It will be a year with a whole new sense of purpose for APC: altruism.

What makes a great human being?

We all know: reaching out to help others. This is the secret ingredient to making a great community – and that means a great school.

It’s also great for us as individuals.

Helping others leads to increased happiness, self-esteem, confidence and optimism. It makes us more generous, patient, open-minded, positive and optimistic.

That’s why we’re dedicating this year at APC to promoting altruism, compassion and selflessness.

Across the whole college, we’re going to be emphasising altruism, hoping to inspire students to display great values by being positive, being on time, keeping their word, saying only kind things – especially online – showing gratitude to those whose efforts often go unrecognised, being understanding rather than judgemental, and listening carefully to others.

We’ll be promoting more energy for our Inspire Clubs, with encouragement for clubs that help other students and which do great things for the community – things such as tutoring, donating blood, volunteering, raising funds for charity, cleaning up our environment, and more.

There will be a special new time slot – from 3pm to 4pm on Wednesday afternoons - to allow clubs to reach out to others after school.

There will be lots of exciting new projects for students to get involved in.

You will see plenty of examples of this in this newsletter and those we publish throughout the year.

LEARNING FROM TAYLOR SWIFT When it comes to altruism, we can learn a lot from Taylor Swift.

last week as so many students and staff prepared for the weekend's big concerts.

Taylor Swift's great ability to tell stories through her songs, show confidence and pride in who she is, and, most importantly, show empathy and understanding for others less fortunate, make her a great role model for our times.

I hope everyone who attended the concerts or Taylor-gated outside had a memorable time.

Steven Cook Foundation Principal

It was impossible to miss the Taylor Swift buzz in the college

STAFF AND STUDENTS

SOMERSET WINS A VERY SPECIAL AWARD

The Amelia Costa Award is awarded to a student who shows kindness, generosity, always puts others before themselves, and truly values their education.

The award is provided by some special APC people – the Costa family – in honour of their daughter Amelia who sadly passed away while a student here in 2023.

The inaugural winner is Somerset Mays El Dier from year 10 for some wonderful community action.

His participation in Connor’s Run, which raises funds to tackle youth brain cancer, contributed $2000 in support of a friend and other children living with this disease.

FINAL 2023 RESULTS ARE IN The final 2023 results are now in, demonstrating once again why APC is regarded as one of the highest achieving public secondary schools in the state.

In December we learned that our VCE students achieved a median study score of 31, with 6.3 per cent

of all subject scores over 40. We had a perfect score of 50 in Food (a great tribute to our emphasis on modern, creative career and life skills) and our Dux, Ash Hill, achieved an ATAR of 99.5.

And in January, our International Baccalaureate students achieved

Somerset’s efforts extended to mapping running courses while on a student expedition so he could keep his fundraising going.

SOMERSET RAISED $2000 TO TACKLE YOUTH BRAIN CANCER

What a worthy winner. Somerset receives a $250 prize plus a further $250 to donate to a charity of his choice.

similarly strong results, with a median diploma score of 31 and a median ATAR of 83.35 – 84.80.

Our IB Dux Taylor Garthwaite Barnes achieved two perfect scores in Psychology and Maths, and a notional ATAR of 96.80 – 97.50.

People ask what the secret is to getting strong results. Principal Steve Cook answered this directly in his opening address to the new year 12 students: consistency.

Students who do well are typically those who put strong effort into everything they do right throughout the year.

“The SACS you do in February will count as much as the exams you do in November,” he told the year 12s.

“Make every post a winner and you won't regret it!

APC COMMUNITY

APC SWIFTIES SMASH THE ‘G Never outdone by any school, APC was well represented at the Taylor Swift concert.

hopefully seated far enough away that they didn’t need to report students for being out of uniform.

From the photos the APC Swifties sent in to us it’s obvious they had a wonderful time.

Our thanks go to the Library staff for getting into the spirit of the occasion with their friendship bangle making session, Taylor Swift Trivial event, and piped Taylor Swift hits in the stairwells.

We’ve heard that several teachers and even a majority of the assistant principals were there too,

LOTS OF LIBRARY LOVE

CONGRATULATIONS TO LYDIA PINCHAS (ABOVE) FOR WINNING THE SWIFTIE TRIVIA

As you can see in the photos, there has been lots of love in the Library in recent weeks, with Library Lover’s Day and the super Taylor Swift Trivia session that will go down as the highest and most enthusiastically attended event in the Library’s history – dare we say, rivaling a certain set of events at the ‘G. The Library is cementing its place as the true heart of the college.

STAFF AND STUDENTS

STUDY RETREAT A ROARING SUCCESS… JUST DON’T ASK ABOUT THE DRONE In the first week of term, 164 of our Year 12 students attended a Study Retreat at Campaspe Downs.

It was an excellent start to the school year for our seniors, who have set a positive tone for the year ahead.

The students were positive, engaged and took on every challenge and adventure with enthusiasm.

Thank you to all the teachers and support staff who combined with the students to make this such a success.

It was really lovely to see them form new connections and have a heap of fun as they developed new skills.

Even the loss of our drone, which malfunctioned and plunged into the depths of the camp lake, never to be seen again, couldn’t dampen the team’s spirits.

APC COMMUNITY

YOUNG OCEAN INNOVATORS WANTED TO REPRESENT APC Speaking of altruism and community action . . . we want to tell you about a great new initiative of one of our past students – Alyssa Seckenger-Crow.

Many of you will remember Alyssa (left) as our amazing school captain from 2022, who not only duxed the college but swam the English Channel for charity during Swotvac.

She has approached us to participate in a great initiative funded through the Wattle Fellowship at the University of Melbourne, which she won.

Called the Young Ocean Innovators Program, it partners with organisations and experts (Nature Conservancy, Coastcare Victoria, Birdlife Australia, Museums Victoria, WWF, and others), as well as STEM innovators, to establish

SEAL ENTRY OPENS ON MONDAY Applications open next Monday (February 26) for APC’s Select Entry Accelerated Learning program for 2025.

The SEAL program allows students from Years 7-9 to work at an accelerated pace, with enrichment and extension opportunities for a challenging and innovative curriculum.

Prospective families of current Year 6 students can visit the link in our bio to find out more about the SEAL program and the application process.

a leading ocean ambassador program for young people in the City of Melbourne.

She’s asked for eight passionate APC students from years 9 to 11 who are interested in our ocean, the environment and leadership to join in.

Alyssa tells us that her work is partly inspired by her experiences at APC, especially our Da Vinci environmental curriculum and studying at the Gatehouse campus at Station Pier, which may host some of the program’s activities.

As you can imagine, nothing could make us happier than news like this.

For more information on how to apply, turn to Page 11.

SENIOR STUDENTS NEEDED FOR TUTOR PROGRAM We are looking for senior students to help run our tutoring program at the Danks St Campus.

This program runs throughout terms 1, 2, and 3 to support students predominantly from years 7 and 8 during Homework Club on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.

If you are interested in applying, contact Ms Wright.

YEAR 8s GIVE PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS SOMETHING TO HUG Year 8 textile students will again be working with Grade 3 pupils at Port Melbourne Primary School this year to create their favourite soft toy.

In Term 3 last year, the students at PMPS provided our year 8 classes with a drawing of their ideal soft toy, which our students were asked to recreate as accurately as possible.

Once completed, the soft toys were given back to the Grade 3 kids, along with a personal note from each maker.

The completed toys also went on display at the APC Art show, in which many of the primary school students attended with their family.

NAT PUTS HEAT MESSAGE ON FILM APC has a proud record of being a climate change educator.

So we are happy to boast that APC’s librarian Nat Blom recently wowed visitors to the Sticky Institute and City of Melbourne library with a photographic exhibition that had a powerful climate change message.

When not in the APC library, Nat is a well-known photo media artist whose work has been exhibited all around the world.

ONE OF NAT'S WORK ON DISPLAY AT THE EXHIBITION.

APC is fortunate to have so many creative professionals like Nat on its staff.

For this exhibition, Nat photographed a range of city images subject to greater risks of heatwave, such as old or poorly designed public housing, as well as images that offered hope for the future, such as green spaces.

Then, using a destructive film soak technique, Nat introduced heat and heat-related materials onto the film, to echo the effects of increased temperatures on each of these environments.

Nat's project was part of a collaboration between City of Melbourne and climate advocate Sweltering Cities 10

APC COMMUNITY

BASKETBALL ACADEMY PUTS BERLIN TEAM THROUGH THE HOOPS Last week the APC Basketball Academy hosted a visiting team from the Berlin Cosmopolitan School from Germany in a game at MSAC. Featuring players from years 8 to 11, it was a competitive match, which APC managed to win thanks to some great shooting, passing and teamwork.

It was fantastic to get some experience playing against international opponents and the Academy team hopes to take on more overseas basketballers.

The German coach has even offered a rematch in Berlin!

VIVE LA FRANCE!

OUR FRENCH CONNECTION IS AS STRONG AS EVER

For seven weeks over summer, 12 of APC’s senior French students headed to our sister school, Lycée Sainte Marie du Port in Les Sables d’Olonne, on the west coast of France.

The trip was to complement the earlier visit to APC from our sister school in March 2022.

The students made impressive progress in their French comprehension and speaking, as well as immersing themselves into French culture, thanks to their time with host families.

In addition to attending school in France and spending Christmas holidays with their hosts, the students also had the chance to visit a range of impressive historical and cultural sites in Paris, including Musée d’Orsay, le Louvre, Sacré Coeur, la Tour Montparnasse.

CORDON BLEU OF ACTIVITIES The Languages Department encourages all students to keep up their language studies as a second language is compulsory in the International Baccalaureate program.

To help build enthusiasm and progress in language learning,

French teachers are organising a host of activities: • Berthe Mouchette Poetry Competition for juniors • Year 8 New Caledonia French Immersion Study Tour, September 10-17. Limited places are still available • Alliance Française French Film Festival for seniors • Year 9 crêperie excursion • Visit from our sister school (July-August). We’ll be looking for hosts soon • Senior French exchange (December 2024 - January 2025).

NEW EXCHANGE PROGRAM STARTS IN 2025 From 2025 we will be alternating a three-week exchange one year and then a seven-week exchange the alternate year. That means that in 2025 Year 10 and 11 French students will play host to our sister school in March and then will travel to France for three weeks in September/October.

Then, at the end 2026, senior French students will host for six weeks in July-August and then travel to France in DecemberJanuary. The Department will communicate directly with French students about these opportunities.

All school staff must comply with Victorian privacy law and the Schools’ Privacy Policy. This notice explains how the Department, including Victorian government schools (schools), handles personal and health information. On occasion, specific consent will be sought for the collection and use of information, for example, for a student to receive a health service. Our schools are also required by legislation, such as the Education and Training Reform Act 2006, to collect some of this information.

Throughout this notice, ‘staff’ includes principals, teachers, student support service officers, youth workers, social workers, nurses and any other allied health practitioners, and all other employees, contractors, volunteers and service providers of the school and the Department.

On enrolment, and during the ordinary course of a student’s attendance at a school, schools will collect information about students and their families for the following purposes: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

If this information is not collected, schools may be unable to provide optimal education or support to students or fulfil legal obligations.

For example, our schools rely on parents to provide health information about any medical condition or disability that their child has, medication their child may take while at school, any known allergies and contact details of their child’s doctor. If parents do not provide all relevant health information, this may put their child’s health at risk.

Our schools also require current, relevant information about all parents and carers so that schools can take account of safety concerns that affect their children. Parents should provide schools with copies of all current parenting plans and court orders about or that affect their children and provide updated copies when they change.

When parents enrol their child in primary school, they will be asked to provide personal and health information in several ways, including via the Enrolment Form, the School Entrance Health Questionnaire (SEHQ) and the Early Childhood Intervention Service (ECIS) Transition Form.

The Enrolment Form is used to collect information that is essential for the purposes listed above, and requests information such as: ●
