Welcome to the 2020 school year. It’s a special one for APC because it’s our tenth anniversary.

but something entirely new, written by APC. We’re hoping to find stage and screen writers of the future.

We began back on 1 February 2011 with just 150 students and a dozen or so staff carrying what now seem rather crude iPads, and have grown to around 1500 students and more than 160 staff, spread out over three big and three smaller campuses. Clearly, we’ve managed to build a school the community wants. We’re very proud that the overwhelming majority of our students are locals, who we are sending off to university, TAFE and the wider world with outstanding academic results.

We’re going to mark the year with special celebrations and achievements. One of the most exciting is going to be our big artistic production. This year, our traditional Vaudeville event is being replaced by a musical, written, performed and produced by the students. Our drama, music, dance and creative staff are extremely excited and auditions have already begun. I want to stress, this won’t be another production of Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat,

There will be a specially themed Art Show, with a celebratory dinner to acknowledge the hard work of so many parents over the years who have made it such a winner for the college.

There will also be a student leadership conference, organised by the students themselves, which will provide a student perspective on where the school will be heading in the coming years. As those who have met them will attest, our current student leaders are an incredibly capable and impressive bunch.

Other things to look out for will be major refurbishments of our Makerspace and science classrooms to create a base for our growing emphasis on creativity in the STEM disciplines. We’ll keep you updated throughout the year on all the special events taking place.

You’ll notice we’ve adopted a new magazine format for our newsletter this year. As always, if you have suggestions for newsletter articles, please let us know.

2020 Kicks off with a clean pair of shoes Albert Park College’s tenth year kicked off with no fewer than four separate assemblies to welcome students, staff and parents back to school. Squeezing everyone into the Gymnasium together would require too much breathing in.

It was wonderful to see the new year7 students arriving, excited to be at secondary school. They were easy to tell, of course, from their shiny new black shoes. A large number of new staff also started, some with shoes polished, and we welcome them to the college.

Students and staff at Danks Street and Bay Street were fortunate to have a full

welcome to country and traditional smoking ceremony from David Tournier on behalf of the Boonwurrung Land Council.

At the assemblies Principal Steve Cook spoke of the terrible bushfires over the summer, reminding us of how fortunate we are to have escaped them. He said that in the true APC spirit, staff and students would throw themselves into projects to assist affected communities.

He also told the year-12 cohort that its year-11 results suggested this would be a strong year for VCE and IB results. He urged them to study hard, but also to maintain a good balance, enjoy the experience and look out for each other.

And of course, students were informed on the new nomobile-phone rule. Leave them at home or keep them locked away and out of sight, or you will have to hand them in!

BACK TO CONTENTS

Read books! It’s tempting to think you can get by using the internet alone, but the more books you read, the better you will do, all the way to Year 12.

Care about others and be kind to each other – we’ll all get along better that way. Every day, we should all do three kind things: one for ourselves, one for a friend or family member, and one for a stranger. It may involve something small, like helping a new student to find their classroom, or not pushing-in in the canteen queue.

Study together, be generous and help each other out, because the better the school as a whole does, the better you will do.

Throw yourself into the life of the school. Don’t give up your day job – keep playing sport, stay in the music program, act, sing, dance, debate and write that great novel.

Follow your passions. Keep figuring out what you’re interested in and good at and study those things.

Pursue excellence, not perfection. You will never be perfect but you can get better. Don’t be afraid of failing, because you learn from your mistakes.

Look at the big picture. We want you to leave school aware of the state of the planet and full of ideas to solve its problems.

Celebrating Women and Girls in STEM Female and male students at APC have had a fabulous day in February celebrating International Women and Girls in STEM day.

A group of 20 female students in Years 8–10 visited RMIT where they heard from Victoria’s Lead Scientist and a variety of women with exciting STEM careers. This was a celebration of how women have contributed to STEM around the world and also inspiration for the female students to continue studying STEM at school. As part of the day, the girls created LED roses and also began to design cars for this year’s Toyota Challenge.

Flannery blitzes pool: Winton blown out of the water Flannery House blitzed the APC 2020 swimming carnival, taking the title easily. While runners up Freeman managed to stay in touch with the leaders for most of the event, Winton swimmers were last seen gasping for air with several laps to complete when the MSAC lights were turned out. Given that their patron Tim Winton’s novels are about the beach and the sea, it’s probably best if we don’t tell him. The final results of the day were: Flannery finished first on 4980, Freeman finished second on 4380 and Winton finished third on 2760.

In an attempt to understand the lop-sided nature of the results, the newsletter team vox-popped several of the fastest swimmers, only to find a number of them were actually from Winton. We can only surmise that Winton was rubbish on the all-important 25-metre novelty doubles li-lo event.

Our congratulations go to several talented swimmers who recorded notable times, including Daniel Magazanik for his PB of 26.87 seconds for the 50-metre freestyle. APC has a talented bunch of swimmers, several of whom are members of the Melbourne Vic Centre Swimming Club.

A great atmosphere was created by the many students who cheered their houses on – from the year-7 pom-pom girls in the stands to the poolside year-12 butterflies (who found their costumes at the $2 shop) and boot-scooters (who reported having perfected their dance routine in Paris on last year’s European Discovery Tour).

CO-CURRICULAR APC The Musical

As part of the Albert Park College 10-year anniversary celebration, the Performing Arts staff are incredibly proud to announce that our Performing Arts students are developing an original musical theatre production! For the first time in our school’s history, not only will the script be completely studentdevised, but we have assembled our advanced songwriters and composers to create a collection of original music.

Set 100 years from now, the musical explores the new challenges faced by humanity, as well as challenges that are timeless – love, heartbreak, separation and hope. The musical will take the place of Vaudeville and the School Production for this year, and will feature our Performing Arts students across Drama, Dance and Music.

In Term 1, our student writing team is working closely with two Artists in Residence to develop the script and original music. Ben Nicholson and Nick Hedger are two outstanding young theatre professionals who run a not-for-profit organisation called Home Grown, which supports new musical theatre by Australian writers. Their passion for supporting upcoming artists has injected our sessions with energy and creativity. They are also highly experienced writers, performers and educators in their own right and we are very fortunate and excited to have them driving our production!

Following an information session in Week 5, auditions will be held for all performers (singers, actors, dancers and musicians) in Week 7 and 8 of Term 1, with rehearsals kicking off at the start of Term 2! This is a truly ambitious project, which we believe to be unprecedented in schools. It is a testament to the enthusiasm, talent and creativity of our Performing Arts students that we can take on this project with full confidence in their ability to create and present a special piece of theatre.

The project is divided into 5 main groups: core, biodiversity, water, waste and energy.

The biodiversity group is aiming to increase biodiversity in the Bay Street courtyard and are looking into creating a herb garden.

The energy group will be examining energy wastage and how the school creates and stores energy. They also have the task of figuring out how much power is generated by the solar panels on the roof of Danks Street.

The teams will work with Jess, our ResourceSmart facilitator, to improve these five facets of sustainability around the college. We’re working toward a sustainability star rating for Bay Street and our ultimate vision of becoming a zero waste, carbon negative and resource smart college.

Ella Simons, climate warrior Introducing Ella Simons. You’re bound to be hearing more of Ella over the years – probably through a loud-hailer. Ella, who is in Year 8 and whose fave subject is humanities, is part of the School Strike for Climate Melbourne team. For those who don’t know, that’s the organisation Greta Thunberg started and which organises the big student climate rallies some of you may have been to.

Ella came to our attention when she was sighted in St Kilda selling cupcakes for bushfire relief. She baked 100 cupcakes herself (it took nearly all night in the family kitchen!) and raised $1000. She felt the need to act after she was evacuated when the bushfires came close to the youth camp she was attending over the summer.

Ella dislikes coal seam gas fracking and has solar panels at home. When we saw her, her iPad was full of emails about another demonstration she was helping organise.

Her message: Educate yourself, inform others and exercise your right to strike.

Ben Savage, star kiteboarder Our second amazing student from the summer holidays is Ben Savage from Year 11 who came second in the Kiteboarding Australia 2020 National Freestyle Titles Under 18s. By the look of the great action photographs, it’s a sport that requires extraordinary levels of fitness. Ben tells us he’s been kiting for nearly 5 years and while he agrees it looks hard, he says it soon becomes easy. Ben says the best thing about kiting is having the freedom to ride in the style that you enjoy most. For Ben, that’s freestyle kiteboarding. Oh, and his favorite subject at school is maths. Well done Ben.

FAMILIES

Families Welcome Picnic We welcomed new families to Albert Park College by hosting a picnic in Gasworks Park on Monday 3 February. It was a warm and sunny afternoon which allowed our parents to mingle with staff and students to run freely around the park, surrounded by their beloved dogs. We look forward to seeing more of you over the coming year at our various community events.

Time to be the adult Leading child psychologist Dr Michael CarrGregg addressed a big crowd of parents in • the Drama Space on Tuesday 4 February.

His messages?

• The first is: Be your child’s frontal cortex.

For those parents who remember their year-10 biology, the frontal cortex is the part of the brain that controls important ‘adult’ things like emotional expression, problem solving and judgement.

As many parents may be aware, these abilities are not always fully formed in adolescents, even though adolescence is starting earlier and lasting longer. Being your child’s frontal cortex therefore means being the adult.

What does this mean in practice? Here are some ideas: • Don’t scream, don’t shout, stay calm, don’t get dragged into fights.

• Be firm and consistent. Learn how to say ‘no’, especially when it comes to issues of safety, like staying out late, using drugs and other risky behaviours.

• Establish boundaries and consequences for transgressing them – and stick to them.

• But praise good behaviour – it’s the best way to develop good habits from your child.

His second message: Be the world expert on your child. Which means: • Know who their friends are – this is BACK TO CONTENTS

incredibly important as their friends have a huge influence upon their behaviour.

Take an interest in their life – their friends, education, beliefs.

Know their self-talk. If they’re engaging in worryingly rigid or negative thoughts, help them push it away and accept that things aren’t so bad.

If it’s really worrying, ask the school for advice.

Take the school’s and the teacher’s side, if your child gets in trouble Encourage them to make the most of their time at school. If they don’t like a particular teacher, tell them to stop worrying about it and to listen and learn.

Involve them in family decision-making, like where we’ll take our holidays this year…

Develop family traditions – like pizza night on Fridays – when you can spend time together.

Michael said one other thing. He praised the Victorian Government’s ban on mobile phone use at school.

There are enough distractions at school, he said, without a phone buzzing in your pocket every few minutes. Limiting social media time and letting them see you reading books will help too!

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION FOR PARENTS Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities. It is part of making Victoria the Education State and the Government’s commitment to breaking the link between a student’s background and their outcomes.

CAMPS, SPORTS & EXCURSIONS FUND (CSEF) School camps provide children with inspiring experiences in the great outdoors, excursions encourage a deeper understanding of how the world works and sports teach teamwork, discipline and leadership. All are part of a healthy curriculum.
