Acknowledgement of Country In acknowledging the Country in which Cathedral College Wangaratta stands, our Boori (young child, children), Kogomoolga (children in general) and Oodthu (me) would like to give thanks to Byamee (The Creator) for all that is around us.

We would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our Totem, Nargoon (Koala), for looking over us as we go into each day with Truth and Service guiding our journey.

Dirrawarra (Together) we acknowledge other Marmungan (Clan member from same country family) and Koori's (Aboriginal person) present here today.

Dirrawarra (Together) we acknowledge the bravery of past, present and emerging Aboriginal and Bpangerang Peoples.

This week The College will recognise National Reconciliation Week (NRW). This is a time for our students to learn about our shared history, identity and culture, and explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. Our Acknowledgement of Country was written by our students in collaboration with the Bpangerang people.

As explained on the Reconciliation Australia website, 'we must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples'.

From the Principal MR NICK JONES Last Friday, Cathedral College hosted the annual Christian Purposes Day for the staff from our three eastern states ASC schools. The professional development day wass an opportunity for our staff to take a break from the busyness and complexities of the normal school day and to reflect on how and why our Anglican identity is so integral to our college communities. Our staff were particularly inspired by keynote speaker Reverend Becca Stevens. Reverend Stevens was named a CNN Hero and White House Champion of Change for her work in social justice and supporting survivors of abuse. With 25 years of leadership in mission-driven work, she inspires a broad range of non-profit, religious, and business audiences with a message that love is the strongest force for change in the world. We look forward to our staff implementing some of Reverend Steven’s messages with our students in the areas of social justice, character development and making positive change within our communities.

In my many daily interactions with our students from across the three sub-schools, I sometimes speak with young people who seem to be struggling with the pressures and commitments of daily school life. After listening carefully to the concerns being raised, I will generally ask some simple questions to gauge how well the student is looking after themselves. These questions include; 1. How much sleep are you getting each night? (should be a minimum of 8 -10 hours) 2. How well are you eating? (balanced diet – including fruit, vegetables?)

3. How much water do you drink each day? (2 litres – a daily minimum!)

4. How much exercise are you doing each day? (should be at least 30 minutes each day. This is not usually a problem for most of our very sporty students!)

5. How much screen time do you have each day? (screen time should be kept to a minimum as much as possible) While these sound like very simple questions, my experience tells me that when our young people are looking after themselves well, they are in a much better space to meet the daily challenges that come their way each day. I encourage you to do a mini audit with your child or children to see how well they are preparing themselves for success at school each day.

All the best

From the Head of Junior School MR GREG NEWBOLD

Performing Arts up in lights The Junior School has enjoyed a feast of Performing Arts opportunities of late. Following on from the Years Two and Three performance of ‘Green Pea’, Mrs Tali Silva’s dance troupes performed exceptionally well in the local dance competition. The Years One & Two troupe danced with great energy and synchronicity to claim second place in their section. Buoyed by their success, the Years Three and Four troupe executed their routine very well and proudly came away with first prize. After a lean year due to COVID in 2020, it is brilliant that our young dancers have been able to strut their stuff again, and after many weeks of keen and disciplined practice received such promising results.

On Tuesday this week, Steamdance, representatives of Australian Ballet, conducted workshops for each of our Years Four and Five classes. The workshops focussed upon the body and spatial awareness, balance, strength, flexibility, and creativity. Subsequent to the workshop, the students will attend a performance at the WPAC on Thursday.

These opportunities support our broadening Performing Arts offerings, which now include a Junior School Choir and Junior School Percussion to complement the Year One and Year Two Keyboard term tutorials. Both Choir and Percussion rehearse once a week and are building their skills and repertoire in readiness for performances in the future.

Life is a stage! And it is wonderful that our students are having the chance to experience this brilliant medium.

Focusing on the words 'push, bend, melt, wriggle' Year Five Ovens explored these movements to choreograph their own dance with the help of Steamdance.

From the Head of Middle School MRS BRIGID PERKINS

Community Time Our last Community Time session focused on allowing our Middle School leaders to have a voice regarding how some of our community sessions are coordinated. Many of our Year Eight leaders took the opportunity to be involved in the first round of Middle School debating and it was impressive to see the dedication and effort that some teams put in throughout the week to prepare for their debates which took place in front of the Middle School community. Along with focusing on presenting a clear argument in front of their peers, students practised their public speaking skills and learnt how to engage their audience. Our Middle School leaders also took on the role of presenters when they interviewed our Principal, Mr Nick Jones, our Year Eight Coordinator, Mrs Michelle Lloyd and one of our Middle School Homeroom teachers, Mr Michael Clark. The Year Eights designed their own questions and took it in turns to ask about the teacher’s own school life, likes and interests, as well as parts of their ‘growing up’ story. It was wonderful to see all our Middle School students learning more about the people that teach them.

Careers Conversation in the Middle School Additionally, we have started conducting some conversations regarding educational and career pathways beyond Middle School. Students involved have mainly been Year Eight students who are starting to think about life beyond the school gates where their interests lie and how that can link to further studies. Supported by our Careers Coordinator, Mr Rod Dunbar, students have been involved in individual conversations or part of a class setting, learning about school-based apprenticeships, VET and TAFE courses, as well as the age you need to be to start these educational options and obtain part-time employment. Traditionally, all these options become available in Senior School, but it has been beneficial for some students and their families to learn about how they can be involved in future years.

Upcoming Discovery Day – Year Seven 2022 Our current Year Six cohort will soon be involved in their first Discovery Day which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 15. Additional correspondence will be sent out by the School Registrar, Ms Louise Trenkner, in relation to the schedule for the day. It will be the first time our Year Six students will be joined by approximately 60 external students (from around 20 different primary school settings) which will make up the Year Seven 2022 cohort. After missing out on running these Discovery Day sessions last year due to the restrictions in place, we are very excited to welcome our new students onto our campus.

From the Head of Senior School MS ANNE HARRIS

Working smarter not harder What if I told you that your son or daughter might be able to study for less time and get better results? Or that their results could improve with the current length of time spent studying?

When students are sitting at their desk ‘studying’ at home, what they are actually doing can range in ineffective. Here are some top tips for getting 'better returns' for the time the student invests in studying: 1. There is no such thing as multi-tasking.

What we are doing is asking our brain to ‘task switch’. When we stop studying to send a Snapchat, tweet, post or skip a music track, this takes time to swap and refocus between tasks. We are wasting time as we swap focus. Instead, by doing one thing at a time, we will save ourselves time and probably do a better job.

2. A backpack is not a filing system.

When it comes to preparing for a test, SAC or exam, having a quality set of up to date notes is invaluable. The time invested by teachers and students in deciding on what information to teach and then take down, is wasted if these notes are not organised and on hand when required for revision.

3. Use active, not passive methods to study.

Simply reading over notes is not effective. It is easy for the mind to wander and the student is not interacting with the content. Redoing test questions, teaching others, writing out notes in their own words is much more effective. The gold standard of revising is to ‘study under exam conditions. This gets the mind, and writing hand, used to sitting for set lengths. No getting up to check the fridge, again. No music, no social media, no back of the book answers, use full sentences. Get used to working under limited time.'

4. Reduce the amount the brain is required.

If you can establish routines, there is less need to think. If the school bag and bus tag are always placed in the same spot, time is not wasted looking for them. If the diary is checked, the bag packed and tomorrow’s uniform laid out the night before, there is less chance that things will be left at home in the morning rush. This can also include preparing lunches and even getting breakfast ready before going to bed.

5. A complimentary lifestyle.

Making sure there is enough quality sleep (mobile phone is charging in the kitchen), exercise to encourage endorphins and a nutritious diet are all going to help a student reap the full rewards of the time they invest in learning. More information on the importance of eating breakfast before coming to school can be found further in this newsletter.

Blazer reminder.

It was lovely seeing the students turned out in their full winter uniform for the school photos last week and in today’s Stirling House Assembly. Students are required to wear their blazer to and from school and to Homeroom, as a minimum requirement during Terms Two and Three.

From the Director of Studies MRS JULIE FINDLAY Cathedral College Wangaratta’s curriculum is led by a team of Teaching and Learning Leaders.

Each leader is a specialist teacher of subjects studied in their department. It has taken a number of years for CCW to grow to a point where we have been able to have teachers specialising in one or two subjects and in some cases, they still may teach in a few areas of the school due to the overlapping nature of some subjects. For example, mathematics and science.

Who are the CCW Teaching and Learning Leaders? (Part 1) English and Humanities (Junior School) – Lynda Raymond English in the Junior School students are learning a broad range of skills and concepts across 3 main areas of Reading and Viewing, Writing and Responding, and Speaking and Listening. These fundamental skills underpin the learning achieved in all other curriculum areas. In Humanities, students study subjects such as History and Geography and in the upper levels of Junior School, Civics and Citizenship.

English (Year Six – Twelve) – Karen Kaine The study of English aims to help students better understand the world around them and to become socially aware, well-informed citizens, ready to make their mark on the world. Students are encouraged to investigate, analyse and question within a range of experiences that transcend the confines of the traditional classroom setting. As teachers, our role is to develop students’ perspectives and insights into how people engage with the environment around them, in order for our next generation to go out and contribute to the society in which we live.

Mathematics and Science (Junior School) - Andrea Thwaites and Mathematics (Year Six – Twelve) – Bronwyn McGorlick Mathematical understanding and reasoning play an important role in the lives of our students as they navigate pathways both within and beyond school. The ability to problem-solve, hypothesise, model, and apply mathematical reasoning are all key skills to develop. While mathematics has its own value and beauty, it has important applications across many areas of our data and technology-rich world.

Science (Year Six – Twelve) – Adam Graham Science helps students to make sense of the world around them. It enables them to think critically and respond to the many social problems and global challenges. Understanding emerging scientific concepts and principles helps students to become more scientifically literate, a skill that is essential for making informed personal and professional choices.

Humanities, Business and LOTE (Year Six – Twelve) – Amy Noble Humanities encompasses such a broad range of subjects that it is important that the values expounded by the knowledge in these subjects is paramount.

The learning in Humanities equips students with life skills and creates critical thinkers who are confident in their relationships with the world around them.

Intimate knowledge is gained through the study of Humanities as to why human nature has evolved the way it has, the current inter-connections in the global forum and how we need to deal with issues of society and the environment.

Chaplains' Chat CATHY CARDEN

Christian Purposes Day Last Friday, whilst the students were having a Pupil Free Day, approximately 250 staff and teachers from the three Anglican schools in the Wangaratta Diocese gathered for our Christian Purposes Day. This day is an important opportunity for us to be reminded of the core values of our Christian beliefs and our Anglican Identity, and how this underpins all that we do at school.

The day began with a Eucharist led by The Right Reverend Clarence Bester. This was followed by an inspirational presentation by the keynote speaker, the Reverend Becca Stevens, from Nashville, Tennessee, entitled “Love Heals”. Revd Becca clearly outlined with many examples how showing love, support and understanding can be the catalyst for turning people’s lives around. As schools working with young people, staff and teachers are well placed and have many opportunities to show the love of Jesus to those around us, and how this ‘Love Heals’ the brokenness in people’s lives.

Later in the day, Mr James Laussen, Principal of Overnewton Anglican Community College, Melbourne, joined us and spoke about “Consciously placing students at the beginning and centre of every decision – what does this look like in an Anglican school?”.

We were also joined for the day by the Chief Operating Officer of the Anglican Schools Commission, Mr Michael Giles, and the Reverend Peter Laurence OAM, the Chief Executive Officer, both from Perth. They contributed to the day, reminding us of the values that underpin all the Anglican Schools Commission schools in Australia; and the benefits and joys that come by working together and being part of something bigger, within the broader construct of Anglican schooling and the Anglican Church in Australia.

It was a wonderful day, and below are some pictures of the time that we spent together, and also the link to a song written and sung by Reverend Becca Stevens’ son, Levi Hummon, entitled ‘Love Heals’.

How much do you know about Surviving Final Year?

This addition of SchoolTv with Dr Michael Carr-Gregg explores many strategies that students can implement to help them survive their final year. Some are obvious and others are not. As a parent, it is also important to give your child support, not only emotionally, but also practically by keeping them well-nourished and encouraging physical activity. Take the quiz to test your knowledge on how best to support your child in their final year and listen to interviews with the leading specialists. https://cathedralcollege.vic.schooltv.me/newsletter/surviving-year-12 Every year, the media exposes us to the hype and pressure relating to the final year of secondary school. However, putting things into perspective for students and parents alike can help prevent everyone from getting overwhelmed. Although this final year is important, it will not be the most important year of your child’s life. It is crucial for parents to reinforce the mantra of ‘you are more than your ATAR’.

A student’s performance in the final year is only a point in time. If the desired ATAR score is not achieved at the end of the day, there are other options available to your child. It will not define their happiness. There will be many other pathways available to them to help them reach their goals.

Cathedral College Ski Club 2021 MR NATHAN MANNING The Snow Program at Cathedral College is an elective group of excursions that provide the opportunity for our students to learn to ski and snowboard at Falls Creek this winter. Snow trips are open to all students regardless of age or ability. We welcome first time beginners to experienced skiers from any year level, Prep to Year Twelve. Students are arranged into lessons specifically targeted at their age/skill level run by Falls Creek instructors. This ensures they get the greatest benefit from their lesson in a fun and safe lesson.

Dates for 2021 Snow trips: Day Trip 1 Overnight Trip Day Trip 2 Day Trip 3

Friday, July 23 Wednesday, July 28 - Friday, July 30 Friday, August 13 Friday, August 27

The day trips are open to all students from any year level with parental supervision required from Prep to Year Three. Day trips are contained to within a day leaving early morning and returning late afternoon. They are the best way for learners to try skiing/snowboarding without the commitment of a longer stay. For students in Years Seven to Twelve, there is also the Overnight Trip in which students stay at Howman’s Gap accommodation for 2 night and enjoy 3 full days of lessons and skiing. Students may use their own gear and clothing or alternatively, there are opportunities to hire as required.

Students can be registered for a single trip or a few. Registration and payment are required upfront in mid-June. More information will become available when the registrations are open so if interested, please stay informed via this newsletter.

Breakfast Tips As teachers when we ask students “what did you have for breakfast this morning?”, we are doing so as we have noticed a drop in energy level, concentration and sometimes behaviour.

Many studies have been carried out regarding the importance of breakfast and many reasons are given for not eating breakfast: don’t have time and can’t eat in the morning are by far the most common reasons.

Research has shown that students who eat breakfast pay more attention in class, retain more information and are more interested in learning. Secondary school-aged girls are more likely to skip breakfast than boys.

We know that fuelling children with the appropriate foods helps support their growth and development. But there is a growing body of research showing that what children eat can affect not only their physical health but also their mood, mental health and learning.

The research suggests that eating a healthy and nutritious diet can improve mental health, enhance cognitive skills like concentration and memory and improve academic performance.

Why should students eat breakfast?

Increases concentration levels and improves the ability to learn.

Provides energy to sustain them until recess when they can refuel on quality carbohydrate foods.

Helps to develop positive breakfast habits that they will take into adulthood.

Below are a few ideas taken from a range of sources such as Sanitarium Australia, Nutrition Australia, Telethon Institute (Perth), Kidspot and BetterHealth.

Quick fix breakfast ideas: Wholegrain cereal with fresh fruit, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds and milk.

Sprinkle natural muesli, berries, nuts and seeds on some low-fat natural yoghurt.

A piece of fruit, a handful of unsalted nuts and a glass of milk.

Toast with a sliced banana.

Diced dried fruit over your cereal or add some canned fruit Students say they are not hungry in the morning. What can you do?

Make sure dinners aren’t too big or too late. Try eating 2-3 hours before sleeping and watch portion sizes.

Don’t allow snacking on high fat and sugar foods after dinner or in front of the TV or computer late at night.

Pack a breakfast to be eaten on arrival at school.

Breakfast doesn’t have to be a large meal. Keep it to a 1/3 cup of muesli or 2 wholegrain cereal biscuits topped with milk, berries and ground linseeds. A slice of grainy sourdough toast with avocado or peanut butter and a glass of dairy or fortified dairy alternative will do just fine.

From the Library MRS BERNADETTE QUINN & MRS DIANNE HIGGINSON This week is Reconciliation Week. It is an opportunity to learn about and appreciate our shared histories, cultures and achievements. We have selected a number of books available in our Libraries that promote understanding of Indigenous culture.

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

Sorry Day Maggie and her mother wait, and then they hear the words: “To the mothers and the fathers, the brothers and the sisters, we say sorry!” Sorry Day acknowledges the past and shows willingness to make things right.

Common Wealth Passionate, yet peaceful, a compelling plea for a future of truth, togetherness and respect for our nation’s deep history. A persuasive and powerful vision of unity.

Our home, our heartbeat A celebration of past and present Indigenous legends, as well as emerging generations, and at it’s heart honours the oldest continuous culture on earth.

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

Tell me why Archie Roach tells the story of his life and his music. Only two when he was forcibly removed from his family, it took him almost a lifetime to find out who he really was.

The little red yellow black book Written from an Indigenous perspective, this book covers a range of topics from history, culture and the arts, through to activism and reconciliation.

Australia Day In this book, Stan Grant talks about reconciliation and the indigenous struggle for belonging and identity in Australia, and what it means to be Australian.

Birrung the secret friend Birrung, a young indigenous girl, lives with Mr Johnson, chaplain to the Australian colony in 1790, his family, and orphans Barney and Elsie. Despite living with the Johnsons, Birrung's connection to her people remains strong.

My Girragundji A vivid, but humorous story of a boy growing up between two worlds.

With the little green tree frog as a friend, the bullies at school don’t seem so big anymore.

And Girrungundji gives him the courage to face his fears.

Year Two Bean Stalks In Two Docker, students are looking at how high and fast a bean can grow in 3 weeks. They had to make a hypothesis before commencing the experiment and each day they draw and record any changes to their seeds. The students were amazed to see their seeds turn to shoots and seedlings over a weekend.

Senior Upper Hume Cross Country MR WHITSED, MR LANE & MS TOWNSHEND It was terrific to be able to offer inter-school cross country again and on Monday, May 25, 38 students from Year Seven to Twelve met at the Savoy Club in Myrtleford on a warm autumn day to go for a run.

And run they did! The Cathedral College students collectively are to be commended on their cooperation during the day and determination to give their best possible effort. Overall, the combined results of The College runners totalled 81, which meant that we were comfortably the winning school, as second-place tallied only 59 points.

25 students placed in the Top 10 of their race, which was a terrific achievement.

Outstanding performances included: Out of the 10 different age categories, Cathedral College were the winning team in 5 of them.

Those members in the winning teams, along with any runner who finished in the top 15 of their age group will now progress to the next stage, the Hume Secondary Cross Country Regional Championships which will be held at the Winton Motor Raceway on Wednesday, June 16.

Those students will be given the relevant details when they are released, but in the meantime, they are encouraged to continue running!

Under 13 Boys: Nick Kjar – 3rd, James Long – 5th, who along with Mac Sinclair and Aiden Toy were the winning team.

Under 14 Girls: Sienna Koop – 5th Under 14 Boys: Corey Marjanovic – 2nd, who along with Max Bihun, Kyle Pearce and Harvey Dodgshun were the winning team.

Under 15 Girls: Annabel Hart - 3rd Under 15 Boys: Xavier Pitt – 1st, Lachlan Thomson – 3rd Under 16 Girls: Alannah Harrap – 2nd, Claire Davey – 5th, who, along with the other runners of Giann Sebire and Charlotte Forbes, were the winning team. This meant that their combined placings were the highest out of all the competing schools in their age group.

Under 16 Boys: Jack Bussell – 5th 17 – 20 years Girls: Lia Ladbrook – 2nd, Erin Stephens – 5th, who, along with Shelby Richardson were the winning team.

17 – 20 years Boys: Henry Stephens – 3rd, Alex Pitt – 5th, who, along with Nick Dare and Will Johnson were the winning team.

Year Ten Holocaust Incursion MRS NATALIE WYATT On Tuesday, May 4, our Year Ten History classes participated in a virtual incursion hosted by the Jewish Holocaust Centre. This invaluable experience was designed to enhance students understanding of the atrocities suffered during the Holocaust as part of our World War Two study.

Due to the Jewish Holocaust Museum being under redevelopment, along with the vulnerable health of Holocaust survivors, we were unable to travel to Melbourne as we normally would have.

During the first half of the session, our students participated in a virtual tour of the museum. By examining the artifacts, testimonies, photographs, artworks and documents, our students gained a deeper understanding of the Holocaust through the lens of survivors who sought refuge in Melbourne. Interestingly, we discovered that Melbourne is home to the highest population of Holocaust survivors, outside of Israel.

After concluding our virtual workshop, our students had the privilege of meeting with Polish Holocaust survivor, Abram Goldberg. To maximise our learning experience, Abe’s oral testimony was shared prior to the incursion. Eager to learn more about Abe’s experience and broaden their understanding, our students posed an abundance of questions, reflecting their high level of engagement in this aspect of history. Mesmerised and curious, our students respectfully asked a wide array of questions relating to his life before, during and after the war. Abe’s insightful responses highlighted the impact that World War Two had on people and society. Furthermore, listening to Abe’s account enabled our students to be witnesses to this chapter of history. When asked to reflect upon this experience, our students provided resoundingly positive feedback as quoted below.

“I found it very interesting to see the artifacts.”

- Olivia Paul “It was a great experience and really nice to be able to hear the story from a survivor.”

- Cristina Coxhell “There is only one race and no matter the skin colour or religion, we should all be treated equally.”

- Gabby Sinclair “The war really began way before 1939. Antisemitism seemed to be so present within society without Hitler.”

- Abbey Melynk “We are all grateful that we had this opportunity.”

- Patrick Neilson “The incursion provided a greater insight into the severity of the Holocaust.”

- Sarah Neilson
