CATHEDRAL COLLEGE WANGARATTA Fortnightly Newsletter

In this edition.....

From the Principal Mother's Day Breakfast Cross Country Senior School Masterchef Cathedral College Ski Club 2021 School Photos Information

From the Principal MR NICK JONES This week sees our Year Three, Five, Seven and Nine students complete the annual NAPLAN assessments. NAPLAN assesses students in the key learning skills of reading, writing, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and numeracy and provides schools and parents with information about where a student sits on a band scale. At Cathedral College our teachers use a variety of strategies in the classroom to identify our student’s learning needs and we believe that the NAPLAN assessments are an additional tool to assist us in this process. The NAPLAN assessments are a snapshot of a student’s understanding in these key learning areas and are not an overarching reflection on how a student is progressing in the classroom. Our teachers work closely with our students to understand these principles to reduce any level of worry or anxiety that may be felt leading up to the NAPLAN tests.

Our Year Seven students enjoyed an excellent camp at Howman’s Gap last week. I am reliably informed that the giant swing was the highlight for many students while others were not overly impressed with the mountain bike activity in the wind and sleet on top of Falls Creek! Resilience building at its best! This camp encouraged friendships and connections to be formed outside the normal school environment and is usually an experience that our students remember for years to come. I thank Mrs Bonacci for her organisation and leadership of this camp, and I also thank the Year Seven staff for their attendance over the three days.

It has been great to see many parents back onto the school grounds for events such as The Mother’s Day breakfast, Cross Country, Parent/Teacher interviews, sports training and the like. I have really enjoyed catching up with many of our parents and families and I look forward to many more of these opportunities as the year progresses.

A reminder that next Friday, May 21 is a student-free day. Staff will be participating in the ASC Christian Purposes Day along with staff from Cobram Anglican Grammar School and Trinity Anglican College.

All the best.

From the Head of Junior School MR GREG NEWBOLD Green Pea The Years Two and Three students were given the pleasure of singing to their Middle School counterparts during Friday Community Time. To say it was the highlight of the week would be an understatement. A large appreciative audience loved their rendition and gave them rapturous applause as acclamation. I am sure you can see the joy and concentration on their faces in the photos below.

Peer2Peer Observations Our teachers, as part of their professional growth program, are currently completing observations with a fellow colleague. These observations enable the teachers to focus upon the teaching and learning cycle of a lesson, including introduction, teacher modelling of the concept being learnt, such as a narrative or addition sum, the independent work of the students before ending with a class reflection and review of the lesson.

Feedback sessions between the teachers are conversational in nature and support them in the ongoing journey of improvement. Fascinatingly, our students are totally unfazed by other teachers moving in and out of their class, observing their learning and asking related questions.

A sure sign of trust by all!

From the Head of Middle School MRS BRIGID PERKINS

Year Seven Camp Last week we saw our Year Seven cohort travel up to Howman’s Gap to spend three days challenging themselves in different environments and activities, as well as continuing to build on the new relationships that they have built this year with their peers and staff. Our Year Seven camp is traditionally held early in Term One, however, we had to postpone the experience due to the short lockdown the state experienced early in the year. Luckily, we were still able to offer the camp, which can significantly assist our new Year Seven students to transition effectively into the Cathedral community from their respective Primary Schools. Although the conditions were a lot colder in May, the students were in high spirits throughout their time away and really stepped up to every challenge that they were faced with. Thank you to the Year Seven staff team, led by Mrs Kerrylee Bonacci, for planning and coordinating a very successful camp.

Middle School Assembly Last week we spent time as a Middle School community and celebrated some of our students who performed to a high standard throughout Term One. ‘Top Student Awards’ were handed out to students in Year Six, Year Seven and Year Eight who made a positive contribution to the community by consistently demonstrating the Cathedral College values.

Term One Top Students were: Year Six: Lilly Noble Madison Olenczuk Year Seven: Abbey Burrowes Ollie Reynolds Audrey Rodda Hannah Sanders Year Eight: Felicity Camplin Flynn Carson Charlotte Channon Jasmin Thwaites NAPLAN This week has seen the start of our Online NAPLAN sessions for all Year Seven students. This year we have our Year Seven Homeroom teachers supervising each session, which has allowed all students to feel comfortable and supported when completing their tests. Students have responded to the instructions well and all sessions have been able to run smoothly. It is always valuable to see how the students are developing their reading, writing and numeracy skills and I am proud of how they have approached these sessions.

Winter Uniform A reminder that all students are now expected to be wearing their full winter uniform to school each day. This includes wearing their blazer to and from school. Blazers will also be required for all assemblies and chapel services. Parents are required to send an email to their student's homeroom teacher or write a note in the student’s diary if students are out of uniform for a specific reason.

From the Head of Senior School MS ANNE HARRIS The past fortnight has flown by since our last newsletter, and as usual, we have managed to pack a lot into the school day.

Our House Captains had the opportunity to meet with three representatives from VicSRC (Victoria Student Representative Council). The guests talked about the opportunities students across Victoria have to become involved in a Youth Council and make changes that will help not only themselves but for future generations. The House Captains asked some excellent questions and it was clear that one of the key focus areas of the group was expanding the connections between year groups and getting to know peers of any age.

The Year Nine and Ten students both heard from guest speaker, Eric Agyeman. Eric talked to the respective cohorts on the topics of resilience and ‘we are family’. During Homeroom last week, students were able to dig a bit deeper into the messages within Eric’s engaging and insightful presentations. Some of his key phrases were, ‘failure is only an event, never a person’, ‘we are our biggest bully’, ‘you can’t choose where you have come from, but you can choose where you are going’ and ‘you can’t hang around negative people and expect to live a positive life’.

Some of our staff found themselves in a difficult situation of having to judge the Senior School Masterchef entries last Wednesday. I say difficult as I made sure to swing past at just the right time to taste some of the entries and I do not envy the task of having to try and pick a winner. Mr Jones was heard saying a number of times he never knew a vegetable could be a dessert ingredient and taste so good. I would also like to thank the Cobbler students whose leftovers made a delicious dinner, thank you!

Finally, on Monday, May 17, our school will be recognising IDAHOBIT Day for the first time. IDAHOBIT is recognised in over 130 countries and stands for the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. It is a day of solidarity to stand with our LGBTI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and other genders) friends, family and colleagues, whilst also saying a big NO to gender and sexual discrimination. 75% of same-sex attracted or gender diverse young people in Australia experience some form of homophobic or transphobic abuse, including verbal and physical abuse. 80% of the incidents will take place at school. The rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide in LGBTI+ youth is also much higher than in the rest of the community. While in Australia we do have laws that protect against discrimination, these statistics highlight why IDAHOBIT is imperative, as it is a day of collective and visible allyship, while celebrating the strength, diversity and resilience of the LGBTI+ community. Cathedral is an inclusive school and we want all our community members, be they students, staff or families, from all cultures, religions, races, genders and sexual preference to feel welcome and safe.

To mark the day in Homeroom students will hear what IDAHOBIT stands for, what an ally is and will be encouraged to reflect on and call out homophobic language or jokes that can impact others. Our students may also see staff wearing Ally stickers and using posters to visibly communicate their support of inclusivity at Cathedral College.

Chaplains' Chat REVEREND DAVID JONES

Do Something Special This year the Diocese of Wangaratta from Ascension Day, Thursday 13 May to the Day of Pentecost, Sunday 23 May will be joining in a number of the activities across this 10-day period for the ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ program hosted by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York.

There are many resources and videos clips available to help us in focusing and centering on prayer - https://www.thykingdomcome.global In the Bible, there are many references to ‘Prayer’ and in Mathews Gospel Jesus said, “Pray then in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. ...”

The theme this year for the ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ program is ‘Light up the world with prayer – Will you join us?’

You are invited with Christians across Australia and the world to pray: for one another, for families and friends for our local Church congregations/communities for the mission and ministry of the Church in North East Victoria for the environment and sustainability for the Anglican Church of Australia and Anglican School across the country Almighty God, your ascended son has sent us into the world to preach the good news of your kingdom: inspire us with your Spirit and fill our hearts with the fire of your love, that all who hear your word may be drawn to you, through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen.

Wellbeing with the School Counsellor MS JUNE STAMP

Raising boys to be healthy men Respectful relationships are a well-publicised topic that is challenging traditional views about manhood and masculinity and while timely, it has left many parents wondering how they support their sons in this space.

VicHealth has developed two videos, one for young men and boys and the other for schools, sports organisations and youth workers who work with boys and men to build respectful relationships, support gender equality and achieve health and wellbeing.

The videos promote acceptance of people whoever they are, free from gender stereotypes, and a society where boys and men feel comfortable to seek and receive support. https://www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/media-and-resources/healthpromotion-in-action/raising-boys-to-be-healthy-men

From Junior Art MS VALERIE CROSSE

Something a Little Fishy Year One Docker, Three Ovens and Three Docker were thrilled to participate in a Fish Puppet workshop as part of GANEAA’s (Goulburn And North East Art Alliance) Art Forum. The theme was environmental, looking at the North East river system and biodiversity. Students participated in discussing which fish were native to our river systems, the best part of the session was the construction of native fish puppets inspired by shadow puppets traditional to Indonesia. The sessions were ably led by Art Educators, David Godkin and Rose Wedler.

The mayor of Wangaratta invites all puppet makers and their families to attend the Railway Precinct Grand Opening on Friday, May 14, along with their fish puppets to weave themselves around the tower to symbolise the river and all the abundant diverse native fish it contains.

Students are invited to meet with David at the Crafty Spot at 6:10 pm on Norton Street to get prepared. Please wear blue clothing.

From LOTE MS ANGELIKA FERGUSON

Junior School LOTE - German Our new Preps have started learning German with enthusiasm. In Term One we covered the basic colours and this term we started counting to ten. It is always amazing to see how well they pick up the pronunciation of a different language at this age. I also introduced the students to the series with ‘Socke und Esther’. It is a German learning series aimed at early primary school. The short films are only two minutes long and the students pick up words easily or recognise those they already know. The videos are engaging, Socke is a cheeky character and the language is concrete and simple. We will follow up the new words they learn with simple activities and games to reinforce and practise the language. I attached the link to the first video below.

A number of the other classes in Junior School were busy writing German Mother’s Day cards. They enjoyed writing and decorating them. They learnt about the different phrasing in German, for example, that Germans don’t say Happy Mother’s Day as such, but usually say something along the lines of ‘Have a lovely Mother’s Day'.

Middle School LOTE - Indonesian As we concluded our unit on Indonesian food the Year Eight Beginning Indonesian students cooked up a storm in the food tech room. Here is a recount of their experience.

“On Wednesday we cooked nasi goreng in the food tech room. Something I learnt while cooking is that Indonesian people don’t only eat with a spoon and fork but they can also use their fingers” Makenzie Clark “When we cooked Nasi Goreng I learnt that they love sweet soy sauce and love to cook all the ingredients together with lots of flavours” Alex Philpotts “Last Wednesday we went to the food room instead of doing a normal class. It was a good lesson because we got to cook some Indonesian food and eat it. It was really easy to cook and it tasted awesome” Kyle Pearce “We cooked Nasi Goreng, a dish like fried rice but Indonesian style. It was a very simple dish to make. This dish tasted very good and I am sure to make it again at home” Maddie Hill “Instead of doing written work, our teacher let us experience making an Indonesian meal. We learnt how they use leftovers from the night before to make Nasi Goreng. Only some Indonesian eat pig, others think they are dirty and don’t eat it because of their religion” Heidi Graham

Year Six 2020 Turning Point Tiles The children from the 2020 Year Six cohort opened their Garden Art on Friday. The art project required the children to create a forever memory' of their Year Six experience at Cathedral College. Past Year Six student Mathilde Cattier, spoke beautifully on behalf of her peers. Please find her speech below: What a year 2020 was and one I'm sure many of us will remember for lots of years to come.

Starting Year Six was very exciting, I was looking forward to stepping up to Middle School. We had a real timetable to follow, a really fancy big locker and I still remember setting up and organizing my coloured folders for all my different classes. I was so happy to be back with my friends again after the summer holidays and school was great!

Then Covid hit and all of us at Cathedral College had to learn how to adapt to schooling from home and finding new ways of staying in contact with all our friends and family.

For quite a while a big part of our lives was online and my bedroom became my new classroom.

The only way we could stay in contact was with the wonders of technology. It was a very strange time not being able to see our friends in real life. Finally, with what seemed like forever we were allowed to come back to school in term four. I remember jumping up and down and dancing when I found out we were coming back. Considering we had all been learning at home for so long, we all transitioned back to school easily.

In Art, we made these awesome clay tiles about things that were important to us and things we liked to do. The other day I took a walk to look at the tiles. I could see there were many masterpieces that meant different things for each of us and I could see that there were lots of tiles about technology including Tiktok, Netflix and gaming stuff. There were lots of ones based on being at home on farms, people with their pets and other hobbies. Also, I could see lots of ones representing different sports that they couldn’t do because of the lockdown and restrictions. I think the tiles have shown us a good indication of what a challenging year 2020 was and lots of memories and things that were significant to us.

Looking at the 2019 Year Six tiles, they showed me a different picture of a lot of outdoor activities.

I’ll be very excited to have a look at the tiles that the year sixes make this year and to see the masterpieces they create. - Miss Matilde Cattier

Photo Gallery YEAR SIX MATHEMATICS The Year Six cohort have been applying their probability skills in Mathematics this week through the creation of their own board games. The 'in front-beside-behind' (teach, practice, apply) approach has enabled the children to grasp the topic before putting their skills into action.

From the Library MRS BERNADETTE QUINN & MRS DIANNE HIGGINSON This week we have selected a number of books, celebrating individuality and acceptance. These books are available for students to borrow.

Now available in the Junior Library for Prep to Year Five Students:

Elmer There was once a herd of elephants, all happy and all the same colour. Elmer was different. Elmer was patchwork. Elmer was not elephant colour.

Melu Melu was always out of step. One day he decides to follow his dream, instead of the herd.

The Boy in the Dress Dennis is a boy who lives in a boring house in a boring street in a boring town, and he doesn’t have much to look forward to. But what he does have is dreams and once he starts to follow them, things will never be the same again.

Now available in the Senior Library for Years Six to Twelve Students:

The Teenager's Guide to Life, The Universe and Being Awesome This book is a reminder that you are awesome and a prompt for bigger and better things. It asks what kind of person you want to be. You are already the best in the world at being you. This book will help you get even better.

Boys Who Made a Difference Get ready to meet some incredible young men who followed their dreams and changed the world for the better, often by taking the path less travelled and staying true to themselves.

Pearl Verses the World Pearl likes to write poems, but despite the insistence of her teacher, her poems don’t always rhyme. In this lyrical novel we follow a girl who holds onto her individuality – and in daring to share her voice, discovers that maybe she’s not a group of one after all.

Peta Lyre’s Rating Normal Peta Lyre is far from typical.

The world she lives in isn’t designed for the way her mind works, but when she follows her therapist’s rules for ‘normal’ behaviour, she can almost fit in. Peta must decide if she wants to follow the rules or live her own “normal’.

Year Eleven Geography Field Trip -

JACK WALTON

Over the two days of April 29 and 30, the Year Eleven Geography class undertook a two-day field trip to gather information and experience the impacts of the devastating 2009 fires and the importance of planned burning.

The group of 14 students and two teachers left for Marysville at 7:30 am and spent two hours travelling to our destination. In the recently rebuilt town of Marysville, we toured the Black Saturday museum and saw the memorial to those who tragically lost their lives in the fires. It was a valuable experience to see first hand the steepness of the terrain, the density of the bush, the new houses, and the main street. We saw the football oval that everyone took refuge on and imagined what it would have been like. We then went past the SES & CFA, a few key buildings that were not destroyed. We also walked to Stevenson's falls where we could see the regrowth from the fires and compare it to photos post the fires. We arrived back at school around 3:45 pm and prepared to do it all again the next day.

The following morning we departed school at the same time, however, for a myriad of destinations. Our first destination was South Wangaratta fire station to see the equipment that firefighters use to fight fires and the progression of modern safety equipment. Next, we visited Taminick Gap to see an area that is planned to be burned. Then to a small burn that occurred in the town of Glenrowan where we saw techniques used to minimise embers and stop spreading to protect the houses. We then travelled to Reef Hills State Park where we saw a much larger planned burn and undertook fuel load assessments to survey the amount of fuel on the ground.

We then went to Tatong to see the mural on their fire station and the aftermath of an actual bushfire.

The Year Eleven Geography class are very grateful to have been given this opportunity to see these things first hand and would like to thank Rev’d Jones and Ms Townshend for accompanying us on this informative trip.

Senior School Masterchef Competition 2021 MS ANNE STEVENSON & MS LIZ GALLAGHER On Wednesday, May 5, representatives for each House were tasked to compile a two-course meal. The main course had to use an economical protein source, a minimum of three vegetables and must also contain a source of grain. The dessert course also needed to include a vegetable.

With this design brief in mind, there were some wonderful creations from all Houses.

Well done to Buffalo House for coming in first place with 204 points!

Second place was Stirling, and in Third place was Warby. A wonderful effort by all!

From Performing Arts MR BEN HEDDERMAN The last fortnight has seen great range of activities occurring across all aspects of the Performing Arts, with our students representing the College proudly at several community events.

VCE Drama – Hells Canyon performance On May 6 the class visited WPAC to see the Australian play ‘Hells Canyon’ by playwright Emily Sheehan. The students were impressed with the calibre of the production and keenly look forward to analysing it as part of their course work.

ASC Piano Competition Over the last week, many of our students took to the baby grand to perform their entries for this year’s competition. It was most pleasing to see students at all levels investing considerable effort to prepare a piece, and we eagerly await the adjudicator's feedback.

GANEAA Songwriting Workshop As part of the GANEAA ‘Across the Arts’ festival, a select group of Year Five students participated in a songwriting workshop with Australian Folk singer Penelope Swales. The students learnt the Uncle Freddie composition ‘The Torreong Song’ and then discussed the Grandpa Milawa story of ‘Mullinmurr’ before working with Penelope to generate their own piece about the story.

The student's composition was performed at the Wangaratta Art Gallery for the festival's opening, with Amelia McAlice, Bella Goodman, Hamish Kerr and Amy Bouchier joining Penelope to deliver a fantastic rendition of their work.

King GRAValley - Performance On the stunning afternoon of Saturday, May 1, a talented group of Senior School musicians presented a diverse set of music to great acclaim. Crowd members, stallholders and organisers alike praised the students for their entertaining set, noting the maturity of their performances.

Careers MR ROD DUNBAR

Careers & Pathways Evening - Thursday, July 29 2021 We will again be having a careers information event in the VCE Centre on Thursday, July 29, from 6 pm. This event will have relevance for all students in Years Nine to Twelve. One of the key features of the evening will again be the sharing of knowledge and pathways experience of locals. Many parents and other community members will be invited to share their knowledge/stories. If you feel your experience would be of value to share, please let me know.

We are limited for space, though, so we might not be able to include all volunteers. Please contact Rod Dunbar at rdunbar@cathedralcollege.vic.edu.au

Year Ten Work Experience Our Year Ten students are busily preparing for their work experience. Last year’s cohort missed out, due to Covid-19, so we have our fingers crossed that it all falls into place this year. Work experience week is the last week of Term Two; from June 21 to 25. (There will be no timetabled Year Ten classes during that week.) Whilst we advise and support our students in their search for placements, it is up to the students to arrange their own positions for the week.

La Trobe Explore Clever As part of ‘Experience Clever’, this year La Trobe University are hoping to run a bus from Wangaratta schools, being Wangaratta High School, Galen Catholic College and Cathedral College on Wednesday, May 26, leaving around 8 am from each school before returning students at around 1:30 p.m. Students need to register their interest with Mr Dunbar so that we can confirm bus details.

RSA & Food courses Year Twelve students are offered the opportunity to gain one or both of these qualifications in a single day of instruction on Friday, July 16. (This is the last Friday of the mid-year school holidays.) The cost to complete both courses is $110, whilst it is $70 to do one or the other. Forms and payments must be brought in beforehand to book a place.

There are 40 places only.

Northeast Health Taster Tour Senior students have the opportunity to participate in a two-hour session at Wangaratta public hospital. The forum will include a tour of NHW and an information session, including an opportunity to meet hospital staff and also view a simulation in one of the clinical labs.

There will be two separate sessions, on June 22 and 24, from 1 p.m. Interested students need to register their interest via a form.

Outside School Achievements It is with great excitement that we can announce the first of our 2021 Year Twelve cohort has been accepted into their post-school course for 2022. Congratulations to Sheridan Henwood, whose hard work and dedication to both her academic school studies and extracurricular dance commitments have seen her accepted into Launch Performing Arts Centre in Mermaid Beach Qld. Sheridan has been dancing for 15 years at local dance studios in the region and her discipline and focus has been the driving force towards reaching her post-secondary schooling goal.

Congratulations to Oliver Nelson who competed in the VSSC Golf event in Myrtleford recently. Oliver came third in the Year Seven-Nine boys group and is now waiting to see if he advances to the next stage.

Well done Oliver.

Recently, Nick Dare was awarded the 2/24th Australian Infantry Battalion Association Citizenship Award for 2021 at the Wangaratta RSL. This is an annual award that is given to a Year Eleven student that has demonstrated involvement and leadership in school and community life. Upon receiving this award he presented a speech to the battalion known as Wangaratta's Own. What an amazing achievement Nick.
