After 14 years of service, CLC's most skilled maintenance man, Mr Kevin Reed, has decided to retire to his house in Mount Martha where he can just kick back and relax.

Anna Henry asked Mr Reed a few questions about the last fourteen years ...

Q. Mr Reed, what exactly do you do at CLC? A . I am a plumber, I break into locked lockers, stack and unstack chairs in the hall, and any other general maintenance around the school.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. Just being here around the school.

Q. What do you like least about your job?

A. Just being here around the school.

Q. Over the last fourteen years, what major changes have you seen CLC go through?

A. There was always something different going on.

The staff have changed, a lot of new buildings like the gym, the home economics kitchen and the BBQ area have been built. The grounds have changed a lot too.

When I was first here there was only about 500 students, now there is over 700, the uniforms have also been changed.

Q. Which uniform did you prefer?

A. The new one is probably better. You are now the "blue plague" instead of the "brown cows".

Q. Apart from the uniform, how do the students of a decade and a half ago compare with the students here today?

A. Today's students attitudes are a lot more casual.

Q. In what other ways have you been involved in the school life of CLC? A. My daughter Susan went to school here, I was a member of the Parents' Association for six years, and ' I was also involved in the school productions.

FAREWELL TO MRS ALICE BAKER Mrs Baker has been our school bursar for the past sixteen years. These are her comments on C.L.C. Q. What has been your most memorable moments at the school.

A . There have been so many, but perhaps the highlights have been the Centenary celebrations and all the Productions that ha ve been performed.

Q. What will you miss most when you leave?.

A. Friendships with staff formed over the years.

Q. What have you enjoyed most about your time at C.L.C. ? .

A. Seeing all the changes that have taken place over the years- for example, the introduction of computers throughout the school; the incorporation of the College; the establishment of the Board of Directors; expansion of staff.

Q. What are your future plans?.

A. I intend to retire, perhaps go and live at the beach.

We wish her the best of luck and thank her for all the hours of patient work she has done in order to keep the school accounts in order.

MRS JUDITH RATICAN In August of this year we farewelled Mrs Judith Ratican and her daughter Sarah who was a pupil at C.L.C. Mrs Ratican has been appointed Deputy Principal at Cardijn College, Noarlunga, South Australia.

Mrs Ratican has been a member of the C.L.C. staff since 1982, and has made a significant contribution to the College in her teaching areas- Biology, Science, Human Development, environmental matters and in school liturgies.

She has at various times been Science Coordinator, Year 10 Co-Ordinator, and this year has been Personal Development Faculty CoOrdinator.

C.L.C. is grateful for the generosity and energy with which she served the school.

We congratulate her and wish her and her family every success and happiness in the future.

MS. SALLY FAIRBAIRN We regret that Ms. Fairbairn will be leaving the school at the end of the year.

Ms. Fairbairn will be remembered for the remarkable work she has done to establish and expand the computer facilities and programs in the school.

Her calm manner and patient smile in the face of the most complicated computer 'foul-ups' caused by students and staff will be missed.

We wish her well with her studies and future experiences in this area.

Mrs Judy Dean has worked in the library for about fourteen years.

She recalls that one event that caused quite a stir was when the Year 12 students put a dead fish behind the heater in the library on their last day of ascool.

Mrs Dean has given us a list of excuses students have come up with over the years for not returning books.

When asked "Where is your book????

These are the Replies; Somebody else borrowed it using my name.

We've moved house and it was packed.

I left it at Grandmas.

I left it at our beach house.

I never took that subject.

I've already returned it.

I lent it to my friend and she lost it.

I've never borrowed from this library.

I returned it to the Eltham Library.

The dog chewed it up.

I left it on the train.

It rained on my school bag and ruined my books.

The baby tore it up.

My teacher took it because I was reading it in class.

I told the other librarian and she said it was alright.

I gave it to my friend to return.

I put it back on the shelf.

I put it in the book box.

I go to my father's at the weekend and I left it there.

We will greatly miss these ladies who have provided so much that goes unnoticed.

THE LADIES IN THE LIBRARY We will be losing two of our library staff who have been with C.L.C. for many years.

Mienk Vanderslik has been with the school since it started at Eltham 23 years ago.

Mrs Vanduslik believes the highlight for her was her task 23 years ago to establish a library at the school. " In the beginning there were only a couple of boxes of books and no borrowing system".

More recently she has found the computerizing of the library a great sucess. "It is Fantastic and it works really well for the students."

The growth of the A.V. Department has also been a pleasing development.

That about says it all really.

Guitar ("BP") Mr. Brian Pearce facial expressions his awe; in us have solos wailing His guitar. the A Legend on are part of his die-hard rock'n'roll image. Named "Shaggy" by audiences, mobbed at gigs-he really pulls the crowds. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Vocals "Nie" Nicole Howard Nicole is a soprano vocal supremo! Nicole really enjoys her music, and is often spotted eating cheezels, organising big concerts with Amy Clews, and snickering with her vocal friends about Mr. Toohey's car!

----- ----- ---t

Tenor Saxophon e ("B. L.") Melissa Pesa have heard her tinkle the ivories! us of few too and A great saxophonist, "A Badloves" fanatic, she's often seen in the front row of free concerts.

She is an original member of the band and will be sadly missed next year.

"Emma" Vocals Emma Gilmartin The audience holds their breath in "Never Lerved A Man" during her solo. She admits it's one of her favourites. We think it's darn good too! Giggles with Cathy during songs and gives her dad big hugs at gigs . Check out her fancy footwork.

Vocals "Cath" Cathy West After a year in Italy one wonders if Cathy was influenced by Italian opera tradition - she sure can belt out a note! Often seen dancing wildly, sporting designer garments from "Rm 16 Costume Cupboard" . Aretha eat your heart out!

Plano/Vo cals "Cad" Caddy Callaghan Wowed us with her original song at the Performing Arts Festival and still does so. She just loves music- writes it, teaches it and performs it! She's partial to playing dress-ups at rehearsals . Look out for her killer song, "Do Right Woman".

Vocalist/P iano "Sar" Sarah Godden A showbiz natural - great voice. When she's not singing she's trying the bass, drum kit or piano. Has built up a soulful affinity with "The Blue Tambourine"! Often seen pogoing around Rm 16 during 'Treat Her Right'.

("NB") Drum Kit Natasha Baker of our designer drummer, top A kit! drum a on cause, a without A true rebel T-shirts. Loves alternative music, often seen doing Miss Piggy impersonations during "Do Right Woman" at rehearsals . An original who'll be greatly missed.

Bass Guitar ("Koz") Regina Koziol A real bass maniac! Loves playing music, the bass guitar and The Sharp.

She is such a Sharp fan that they've probably saved enough pennies to buy new skivvies and PA gear! Our original highly valued bassist extraordinaire.

BANU BLURB Souled Out started in Term 2, 1993 after long deliberations and auditions.

The original members of the band were Alex West, Sheridan Vella, Carolyn Dunnell, Liselle Pote, Melissa Pesa, Natasha Baker.

We spent Term 1 practising the old songs and learning a few new ones. Term 2 was a difficult one for us, but we continued rehearsing with or without members at rehearsal.

Cathy West returned and Term 3 was upon us. We committed ourselves to playing at the Year 12 and Year 11 Formals, as this gave us something to work for.

We rehearsed for long hours during the first week of Term 3 to prepare ourselves, and learn new songs.

STOP PRESS Congratulations to Julia Clancy -winner of the Caltex medal for the "Best All Round" student for 1994.

•• .And To The M1111orie1 We remember all the good times.

Our friends, our enemies, the laughs, the cries, the ups, the downs.

Although we will be gone, one thing will survive - one thing that cannot be taken from us: Memories.

Memories ol our days at school will live with us lor8'1er, what8'1er the memories mav be.

They will remind us ol 8'/e,,thing we have been through; the good times that made us laugh, the bad times that made us Cl"f·

The School Song•••••• •.•••••••••••Y11r 12 Style 'With coffee ond jaffles in the thick ol vear 12, w~h our ciggers alight. We wm strive for the right lor a vear " 12 lormal night, with partners and no supervision.

Alas we are old, we now leel the cold, we reallv depend on our jumpers. Praise the lord we got them otherwise we'd still blend with the rest ol the lower school SCUM. Alas we have CATs, and ol course the stupid GAT, we really need our chocolate. With our urns growing mould, and our motto ol told, ol coffee and jaffles united.•

Without fail the one thing that we wm remember is our friends. Old ones that we have known over the vears, new ones that we have just made• We wm take away from our school vears what we have learnt, what we have gained, and, perhaps, what we have lost.

Bv Melissa DeAmicis.

[PEBATING

19941]

1994 finally caps off yet another successful year of C.L.C. debating ! This year ten teams were entered in the DAV debating competition, held at both Ivanhoe Girls Grammar and Eltham College.

Our two D Grade (Year 9) teams were highly successful, with D 1 even making it to the semi-finals! Throughout the competition A,Kegele, N,Fitxgerald E,Hodgson & A,O'Meara (from Dl) and Best received all D2) & S,Thomson (from Speaker awards.

Our three C Grade (Year 10) teams also competed very competently & scored some exceptional victories. Best Speaker awards went to several of our girls including ],Hanlon, R,May (Cl), S,Rough (C2) M,Shields, L,Robinson & S,Bibby (C3 ).

This year both our B Grade teams confronted the threatening secret topics for the first time and coped very well!

Generally, our wins ranged from a huge ten points to a relatively close four points and Best Speaker awards were received by N,Pascoe, K,Blair & A,Bowyer of Bl and L,Cooper of B2.

The 1994 A Grade (Year 12) competition was marked by several unusual topics ranging from the Bosnian bloodshed, to the legalisation of marijuana and the criminal nature of slavery to fashion. Once again, several C.L.C. girls were the recipients of Best Speaker awards, including H,Jowett, A,Harrington, N,Schnitzer (Al), · ],Stewart (A2) & L,Cardamone (A3 ).

For all those who have never debated & who think that they can't, just get involved! It's a great opportunity to develop your confidence & public speaking abilities ... and you can use your great argumentative skills to your advantage in many other situations.

Well, done to all the 1994 debaters and good luck to all future teams!

CANBERRA TRIP

A

On the bus trip, which had begun at 6.00am, the tired troops listened to their walkman s until they were greeted by the golden arches of Albury.

After stopping for a break, the video fired up and we watched Patriot Games and then Heartbr eak Kid-min us the love scenes, thanks to Mr Nilson's umbrell a which went up accident ally on purpose .

We had a quick photo opportu nity at the Dog on the Tuckerb ox in Gundag ai and then we were on the final leg to Canberr a.

We went to the movies on the night of our arrival, howeve r the hard work began when we visited the magnifi cent High Court the following day. We all wonder ed why there have been so few female justices . We were then staggere d by the history at the War Memori al. The new Vietnam memoria l and the tomb of the unknow n soldier are inspirin g and architec turally magnifi cent. Our tour of the Nationa l Gallery opened the eyes of the cultural savages. We were a bit apprehe nsive about the Electora l centre.

The word was that it was boring. To our surprise the hour or so went by quickly and I now know how the electora l system works.

We visited the majestic parliam ent house the next mornin g. We were told that it cost $1,000,0 00,000 to build. We also particip ated in a mock parliam ent - which was great.

In the afternoo n, we visited the National Science and Technol ogy centre. It makes Science Works in Melbour ne look pretty ordinary . After Dinner we went on a night tour to Mt Ainslie. The lights were magnifi cent and we picked out the spots that we visited.

Exhaust ed, we went home. Canberr a has so many interest ing things to see. The lack of graffiti, potholes , single lane roads seems to suggest that politicia ns like to spend money where they live.

Now I look forward to the central trip in '95.

CENTRAL AUST RAUA

~~

The 1994 Central Australi an Trip was the holiday of a lifetime for all 44 people who went. (40 students and 4 teachers ) .

It was twelve days of celebrat ion over the Septem ber holiday s, with plenty of walking , travellin g, and of course the unforge ttable experien ce of climbing to the top of Uluru.

We are all experts at putting up tents now, after having to put them up every night and pull them down every morning .

The coach captains were "very nice blokes to know" as was the famous Ted Egan . His cat

was pretty nice too and was lucky enough to get a ride in out coach.! .

Our walks through Kings Canyon were 'fantabu lous'-th e views were spectacu lar---no ne of us will ever forget this holiday, !!**** P.S. Thanks Mr Morgan for all your hard work that made this trip a huge success.

A group of happy traveller s.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION

~~"\ ':::~j '1.{'~,

C.L.C. student s have the opportu nity to experien ce differen t outdoor activitie s from years seven to nine.

The following commen ts indicate the value and pleasure students gained from their experien ces. " I learnt how determi ned I really am.. I proved to myself that by the end I could ski. okay!.

Kate Moloney " Yes it was challeng ing. I wasn't very good at skiing and fell over a million times. The Outdoor Educati on teachers were very helpful. They taught us how to ski and they told us where to go. We had a lot of fun.' We ate lunch in the snow and built a snowma n.

Emma Sartori Camp was grouse, I had heaps of fun.

Sarina Possar Of course I shared my tent with a sleeping bag that leaked feathers! .

Carla Morgan The worst night was the first one, it was freezing , but the last night under the tarp. was terrifiic.

Michele Evans

YEAR 7 Well, what can I say about the Year 7's of 1994, except, "what a great bunch of girls!" It has been a pleasure rw:m""-·~---r-~--.,t~. o g.e t .Jo .know ever;y: one of them and most rewarding to to watch the girls grow as young people, making friends rld meeting the challenges of .s econdary ool lifei 1~+ They haye worked p ' td and ve had lots of fun along the way, with many different activites and excursions throughout the year. I have enjoyed my time with these girls immensely, as have :B:l of the .ih9me-room teachers. We wish - futhem alrth; very best as they, move on to Year 8 for 1995 .

During the first semester, all the Year 7's were put into peer support Chris Nolan, groups, with a Year 10 student as their Year 7 Co-ordinator. leader. In these groups we developed many friendships and trust with each other.

During the first few sessions, everyone was a bit shy, but as we got to know each other better, everyone joined in and started to enjoy it. As the sessions allowed us to skip a class, everyone was very enthusiastic and looked forward to them.

We did lots of fun things like games and role plays and all the peer support leaders were really nice to us.

It's good to know there's someone older in the school that we can talk to and Four big Rhino's trust. iStanding near some bees f Bang went a: gun Andrea La Terra & Then there were three.

THE LEOPAR D'S REYENG E The leopard walked through his tropical home, slaughtere d to the family his at Looking bone.

A tear dropped from his sorrowful face; the hunter's had come and left without a trace.

The leopard, now angry, plotted his revenge alone, As he stared so coldly at the matted, crow-peck ed leopard bone.

His anger built up greatly inside.

His time, yes, he would bide.

The memories of his little new-born son had been shattered by the hunters, new leopard skin they had won.

Why did they do it? He thought for a while as the leopard bones sat still, all in a pile.

The hunters had come, looking for him, but he camouflag ed himself as the light was dim.

As the hunters came his way, he got ready to pounce in the dry yellow hay.

The hunters had guns ready to fire, They sat, they thought on a broken tyre.

But the leopard pounced and killed, his satisfactio n had been greatly filled.

No more hunters in his tropical home.

No more leopards slaughtere d to the bone.

DEEP IN THE FOREST Deep in the forest so lush and green, stood a man so mad and mean.

All the animals were running away, because he bad a gun.

Frightened and scared the wombat ran He heard a noise, the man was near. ' "Bang Bang", the wombat was dead.

Now the man can be fed.

Very close he heard a tap, It was a bird having a nap.

The man went close not making a sound for he did not want to be found. ' He pulled the trigger and was about to let go When the bird woke up and pecked him so.

Now the man was feeling bad, Seeing dead animals made him sad.

He threw down the gun, and went for a run.

And never did he ever come back, In case the bird would attack.

TOURNAMENT OF MINDS For those who never contempl ated entering as a team member of the "Tournam ent of Minds" it is well worth consideri ng for 1995.

The team this year consisted of Maree Ioannou, Kathleen Spaull, Vanessa Hewson, Sara Molloy, Tessa Sibbel, Lucy Mason, Nadine Muscat, and Natalie jongebloo d.

First of all we had to consider which type of problem we would work on:-- Social Science, Language / Literature , or Maths/En gineering .

Finally we selected the topic "Space Ace". In six weeks we had to construct a device that would shoot a satellite (tennis ball ) both vertically and diagonall y. It also had to pass through a hole in the middle of a wooden board.

Our presentat ion at Monash Universit y consisted of -the launching of the satellite- (ours did not pass through the hole!), and a play putting it in a creative context. We wore the animal masks we had painted as part of the theme.

The tourname nt also consists of a "Spontan eous problem" . Three judges gave the problem. We were given three minutes to come up with five separate solutions . Our ideas were very original and inventive .

Overall the day was a total triumph and everyone was thrilled with their results. " Tournam ent of Minds " is a great experienc e, a mathema tical challenge and a time to make new friendship s.

MATHS CHALLENGE TEAM FUTURE PROBLEM SOLVING F.P.S. is a program that has been running at C.L.C. for several years now with teams from Years seven to eleven. The F.P.S. teams are given a Fuzzy problem and use a creative problem solving process to find a solution. Each team submits their brainstor ming and solution in a 13 page booklet which is assessed by Evaluator s in each state. Preparat ion for the problem "Antarcti ca" included a seminar covering a broad spectrum of aspects of life in Antarctic a.

Several other teams participa ted with each team individua lly applying problem solving skills to solve a future dispute over mining in Antarctic a.

An Evaluator reviewed each booklet and shared ideas for improvem ent.

I have found that the F.P.S. program helped me to stretch my mind, develop my imaginati on, and to think clearly and construct ively under pressure.

F.P.S. has been an interestin g and rewardin g experienc e.

Holy shit!

This is definitely the last time I'm eating peperoni pizza for supper!

Still groggy with sleep I stumble out of bed and head for the bathroom.

Something is wrong, I can feel it, but everything around me seems to be familiar.

I am just about to put my uneasiness down to the rather large supper I filled up on late last night when I pass my bedroom mirror ... oh ... my ... God!!!

Now I know this is crazy and that I am just dreaming .

However, standing In front of my bedroom mirror I gaze at my reflection and try to understand how, In the course of one night, my long fair hair has been cropped short, my clear complexio n (that I worked so hard at) has become dotted with acne and my legs have sprouted with, ugh, hair!

I am ... MALE! As I recover from my initial shock, I look past the most terrifying changes and realise my shoulders are broader, my legs are longer and my waist is pleasantly small.

This transforma tion may be to my advantage.

After all, this means no more diets, face packs and leg-waxing , and with the state of the world today, males seem to be gettin.~ all the breaks.

Mv stomach rumbles and I hear the sounds of the kitchen.

Still numb with shock, I head downstairs ...

I'm curious to see the reaction of my family when I enter the kitchen, but they seem more concerned with their bacon and eggs than with their daughter that has changed gender overnight.

Without thinking, I pass mum and give her a kiss on the cheek.

There is instantly a sudden uneasiness in the kitchen and my two younger brothers give each other sidelong glances. Was it something I did? How could it be, as all I did was kiss my mother 'good morning' in the way I have done for the last sixteen years?

Oh well, bacon and eggs is more important right now than my quirky young brothers.

Besides, it's getting late.

Walking to school I begin to wonder whether my recent sex change will go unnoticed with my friends as well as my family.

The corridor is packed and through the , throng I see Cathy, one of my closest friends.

Without thinking I raise my hand, wave and shout.

"Hi Cathy.

How are ya?"

Immediate ly I have that sense of unease and try to work out what I have done.

There was nothing unusual about what I had said and it is second nature for my friends and I to wave to each other.

However, Cathy looks as If she was about to die from embarrass ment and shrink in to the floor.

Somehow I had screwed things up and done the unthinkab le.

Escaping to the toilets (I nearly made a near fatal mistake!), I think I'll stay hidden until homeroom .

Slinking in late for English Lit. I take my usual seat and take my bearings. So far, apart from the two uncomfor table situations earlier this morning, no one has noticed anything different about me.

Maybe the world is coming to expect the unexpected .. .! am shaken out of my day dream by my teacher who is impatient to start the class. I love English Lit., it is a subject that allows me to express my feelings and ideas.

One of the things that I enjoy most is class discussion, and today Mr Fily seems to be wanting us to share our ideas on the novel we are reading.

He is reading out a passage that I read last night about honesty and friendship and my hand shoots up.

I begin to tell the others how I had seen parallels of the novel In today's world, but something inside me makes me stop in mid-senten ce.

There are those sidelong glances again, those silent sniggers and the avoided eyes.

Even Mr Fily seems slightly surprised by my eagerness to talk.

As my .sentence trails off, Matt leans over and gives my arm a punch. " Swallowed a thesaurus, huh?" he asks.

Somehow I manage a goofy smile and squirm back down into my seat.

The class laughs and Mr Fily turns his attention to Sarah who wants to make her comment on the novel. As everyone tunes into her I try to figure out what I'd done.

Matt and Tom tap my shoulder and want to know what I thought of the footy game last night. OK I guess, but I pretend that it had been the highlight of my evening. Turning back to the front, I stare down at my open novel. Somehow, all the freedom I had felt earlier this morning about my gender change seemed to be rapidly disappeari ng out the door.

Instead I seem to have this sense of restriction, as if the real me is bottled up behind a public-acc eptable mask. I find myself looking at Sarah and envying her freedom to say her ideas, and resenting the others in the class for not letting me say mine.

Suddenly, being a girl seems really appealing, and I begin to become panicky.

What If I remain as a guy? Will I never be able to talk about my Ideas in English Lit. without being 'suss' and will I always be expected to greet my friends with a punch and a burp?

Oh, God .. . give me back the leg wax!!!

As the winds drove into the wooden shack of a house, trying to pick it up and throw it across the countryside, the smell and taste and even the moist touch of salt managed to crawl through the cracks of the paint peeling walls.

A horrific bolt of lightening, sending a glow through the churning night, cut through the ancient oak tree like a knife, diminishing all life within three metres. Another flash of light tore open the sky sending out the lights in every room of the Edwardian house.

After a lot of organising the date was set, and as soon as we all knew the date for the social (23 June) every lunchtime, and I mean every lunchtime; was spent talking about the social.

Finally the night came and everything turned out well.

We had five boys schools, Parade, Ma r cellin, Whitefriars , Xavier and Saint Kevins. We also had parents and teachers who supervised our social and made it go ahead. We would like to thank Mrs Warrell, our Year 9 coordinator, teachers, parents and students who helped organise the social, especially Daniella Frisina and Bianca Agnoletti who organised a great DJ from Existence to play at our social as their Year 11 communication project. It helped to make it a great night.

LEADERSHIP DAY Early in 1994, C.L .C's student leaders gathered in the convent for a leadersh i p day.

S.R.C captains, music captains , Social Justice group members , sports captains, and others, were all eager to experienc e this new event in our school, which aimed to provide our students with leadershi p qualifies so that they could better serve our school.

The students, including myself as a Social Justice Group member, took part in co-opera tion activities , discussio ns about ways to improve "terrible meetings ", and of course, afternoon tea . Most important ly, each group develope d its own set of goals, and a list of projects which it planned to achieve througho ut the year.

Later in the year, the leaders met again to discuss their progress, and to discuss ways in which they could improve their work during 1995 .

A thank you must be extended to Ms Gleeson and Ms Ricketts for organisin g these worthwh ile sessions . Hopefully they will become a continued tradition in our school communi ty.

SCIENCE AT CLC The science department has had another busy year.

This year saw the inauguration of our evening lectures.

We were privileged to have Catherine Money (CSIRO), Dr Andrew Prentice (Monash University) and Dr Glenn Begley (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) all deliver interesting and informative lectures in their respective fields. A number of parents, students and staff took the o pportunity to broaden their knowledge by attending these evenings.

The biology observation platform was officially opened on Sunday 7th August. A number of generous parents, staff and friends of the college have worked hard over the last few years to build a platform to assist our students to study the natural flora and fauna along the Diamond Creek.

The platform has been named the "Mccutchan Platform" in honour of Mr John McCu tchan, who designed and directed the building project. The opening was timely, as it coincided with the departure of Mrs Ratican, without whose enthusiasm and vision, the site would not have been realised.

We are pleased to have acquired a marine aquarium earlier this year. Mrs Wilson has worked hard in setting this up outside Room 28. Some degree of patience and research has been necessary to fine tune the delicately balanced ecosystem.

The introduction of more specimens next year will ensure that all students in Junior Science, Middle School Down by the Seashore, and VCE biology students will be able to observe firsthand some of the fascinating creatures of the sea.

zoo Melbourne Zoo Careers for Women

Day

On June 30th, eight Year 10 students, Mrs Dunne and Mrs Enright went to the Melbourne Zoo careers day for women. We took part in activities at the zoo with girls from other schools around Victoria. We listened to guest speakers, walked around the zoo, talked to keepers and others who had careers related to conservation.

Most of the work the keepers did was feeding and caring for the animals, which included shovelling up the droppings. Women at the zoo also had jobs as teachers and vets.

After lunch we had small group discussions with women who have careers related to the environment and conservation. These women had worked hard to get into the jobs they wanted in a male dominated area. Some had combined two loves, such as biology and drama, in their work. Others were lecturers at Melbourne University, town planners, tour guides and forest rangers.

All of the women enjoyed their work, although most agreed that they were under-represented in their fields of work. Not all of the work was regular hours and it wasn't at all glamorous.

We learnt that a university degree wasn't always necessary to get into this area of work. There are TAFE courses available and voluntary work is always beneficial.

If anyone is interested in this area of work,, I · would e ncourage you to attend the careers day. It really helps you to understand the work involved and what is needed to find jobs in this area.

On 21st July, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the first man landing on the moon.

Mr Pearce and his Out of This World students demonstrated their rocket-making expertise by launching the CLC hydrogen powered rocket. It didn't reach the moon, but the explosion did wake up a few students and teachers.

COMMERCE AT C.L.C The first ever Commerce Week was held in September this year. During this week, students had the opportunity to participate in a number of activities, both within and outside class time.

Contestants from year 9 and 10 did very well in answering questions relating to law , politics , economics, and financial management, in a commerce "Sale Of The Century" quiz. Year 11 Legal students organised a "Commerce Cash Converters Game", which involved large numbers of students running around the school grounds searching for special dollar notes which they could convert into delicious prizes once they had answered a commerce quiz question. To conclude the week, the year 9 / 10 Financial Management class organised a sausage sizzle, and the year 7 and 8 students took part in a cola taste test.

Stude nts participated enthusiastica lly in all a c tivities, displaying their interest in the commerce subjec ts offered at Catholic Ladies' College.

Congratulations to Mr Lance Nilsson, on the arrival of his twins - Timothy and Daniel. This event was very exciting for the school , but especially for the Commerce Department.

YEAR 11 GUEST SPEAKERS Year 11 Legal Studies students were taught the following safety techniques by guest speaker- Senior Constable Herbert, from the Crime Prevention Bureau.

Defensive living preventing rape and assaults Know the facts • Rape is a crim e of violence • Rapi sts are not necessaril y strangers

Be aware • Avoid potentially dangerous situ ations • Use common sense At • • •

home Have a plan of action Know you r neighbour's telephone number Know your nearest public telephone

In public Be alert to your surroundings Whenever possi ble trav el with a friend Stay 1n well lit are as • Avoid short cuts through deserted areas • Walk confidently and directly • Don 't accept ri des from strangers In your car Always lock your doors after entering or leaving your car Check the surrounding area befo re proceeding to your car and check your back seat before you get in Have your keys ready before you get to the car or your home .

In April , thirty-three a n xio us y ear 11 students visited Barwon Prison. Afte r the initia l panic of stripping ourselves of any gold, silver o r copper, we entered the gates. Following our meeting with several stern prison wardens, we were confronted by six see mingly harmless prisoners. It wasn't until they had outlined their crimes that we basically lost all ability to speak.

What we hadn't realised, was that we were sitting in front of three murderers, one arsonist, a drug trafficker and an armed robber.

We asked many questions, and as a result, we left the prison with a greater knowledge about prison life, including such things as daily routine, people's ideas about capital punishment, and the effect of imprisonment on prisoners families.

Overall, our day spent with the inmates of Barwon prison was an enlightening experience and one which we will long remember.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTING BALANCE SHEET FOR YEAR 1994 ASSETS Twelve months ago, we started on the roller coaster of our lives-BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTING. We learnt many small business skills, and made a profit of $50, from our soup, sausage sizzle and hot dog days. The beginning of the financial year signalled the start of our accounting semester.

This involved numerous cash flows, profit reports and balance sheets, which we soon grew to know and love.

LIABILITIES Throughout the year, we came to appreciate the works of Mr Pest Controller, and Marshall's ratbag friends. Special attention was given to the depreciation of vehicles with a case study based on a bright yellow Kingswood with a coat hanger aerial.

PROPRIETORSHIP Ove rall, we have enjoyed Business Manageme nt and Accounting and would recommend it to anyone ready to take the ride. It was a profitable experience!!!

HOME ECONOMICS IN 1994

ROCK EISTEDDFOD 1994 saw Catholic Ladies' College o n ce again enter the "Be Your Best Your Best Rock Eisteddfod". The Rock Eisteddfod is an annual event organised by the Australian Drug Offensive, involving contemporary dramatisations of dance and drama set to p o pular music.

This year, C.L.C's theme was horror a nd fear, and our eight minute performanc e featured skeletons, ghosts, ghouls, witches a nd mummies. Over one hundred and thirty gi rls from year 7 to 11, came together as one team with a common goal- to produce the bes t, most professional show they could. All the girls from set designers, make-up artists, dancers, backstage crew, to the lighting crew, ca n be very proud of the creative and spectacular number they produced.

The girls developed many skills in the making of the Rock Eisteddfod, yet I feel that the dedication, team support, coo p e ration and school pride demonstrated by the group, is the real achievement.

I think all the girls had fun, and will remember their experience for many years to co me. While a production is more likely for 1995, I don't believe this is the end of Eisteddfods for C.L.C, but rather a very strong a nd positive beginning.

Congratulations to all involved!

Mrs j. Boyle.

CREATIVE ARTS EXHIBITION In term four, the creative arts faculty h e ld an exhibition of work produced by s tudents from years 7 to 12.

An amazing variety of painting, pottery, textiles and graphic communication pieces were on display, reflecting the skill, imagination and creativity of our students .

Those who attended the opening ce r e mony were entertained by the fine music provided by Mrs Von Moller, Mrs Roberts and Miss Hopping. The delicious refreshments were the result of Mrs Falvo's and Mrs Maynes' hard work.

Congratulations to those girls who were awarded certificates at the opening ce re mony, in recognition of their work being se lec ted for the Anne Green Memorial Co ll ec tion.

A final congratulations goes to the Cr eat ive Arts Faculty staff members for all th e ir hard work, and to all the students who had work on display or who helped in some ot her way to make this such a special event.

a,

The school fete was our first major catering function for 1994. Dozens of hot, fluffy scones were baked throughout the day to keep pace with the constant flow of hungry customers to the Devonshire Teas stand. Once again, the girls pitched in to make our contribution to the fete a most worthwhile one.

1994 saw the introduction of a new concept- the C.L.C Catering Team. The team comprised of approximately 18 students f:om years nine to eleven. As part of the Catering Team, these students were able to gain valuable experience in the many aspects of the organisation and catering through provision of food for two school functions.

On Wednesday, May 25th, at Olympic Park, the team catered for the Inter-School athletic sports. Forty sumptuous lunches comprising of selected sandwiches, cakes, ·biscuits and fruit were attractively presented in cane baskets, to the delight of the officials at the sports.

The Catering Team was again active at the Performing Arts Festival in September.

More than 400 guests were treated to platters of savouries, dips and greens as well as biscuits and slices prepared, cooked and served by the team. When the final curtain fell, the team was still hard at work cleaning the kitchen, washing up and returning the place to normal.

Another first this year is the opportunity for Year 11 and 12 students to undertake a three day Hospitality Industry training course to be conducted at the college

by Customer Service Educators. The course covers such things as customer service, wine and beverages, front desk, table setting and waiting and regulations, and provides the upon certificate a with participants completion. Although the course has not been completed at the time of writing this, the twenty-five students who have booked, are eagerly looking forward to it and the opportunity to gain new skills which will part-time studies, future in assist employment, or movement into the industry.

SOCIAL JUSTICE A combination of both extraordinarily joyous and tragic world events have made social justice awareness prominent within the school in 1994.

Early m the year the school community gathered for a liturgy to celebrate the historic all-race elections in South Africa.

The elections were symbolic of both an end and a new beginning an end to the political oppression of native South Africans and a fresh hope that under Nelson Mandela's leadership, true racial equality may be achieved.

The activ1ties for Social Justice Week which concluded with another liturgy recognised the achievements we have made as a school in beginning to answer the social justice question, and looked to the future hope that conditions for all oppressed and lonely people my improve.

Lisa Baaini

On a more sombre note, the CLC community aided the suffering millions in Rwanda .

Various fundraising activities led by the Social Justice Group were directed towards assisting the starving refugees in the central African nation.

Despite the geographic distance, the graphic footage and extensive news coverage brought the tragedy to the hearts of all Australians.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Although Social Justice Week came about as the Rwandan crisis was foremost in the news, the many guest speakers who visited the school brought more local justice issues to our awareness.

In the week of July 25-29, many classes were enlightened on the roles of some Catholic organisations in promoting justice in Victoria and Australia.

Amongst these guest speakers were Vicki Walker from Aboriginal Catholic Ministry and Jack de Groot from the Catholic Commission for Justice, Development and Peace/Australian Catholic Relief.

One of the most moving sessions was conducted

by Elizabeth Campbell from the Sacred Heart Mission in St Kilda.

The almost glamorous image or prostitution portrayed m fictitious films like "Pretty Woman" was put to an immediate end as Ms Campbell informed us of the reality life on the streets . Many women are trapped in a vicious cycle where prostitution is a means of supporting a drug addiction or drugs are used as a means for coping with the harshness of street life.

Whatever the reason, Ms Campbell's message was clear: none of the women deserved to be treated as inferior members of the community because whilst society is quick to condemn the women, it forgets that the demand for their services exists also.

Throughout 1994, CLC students have continued to participate m Amnesty International letter writing days, an initiative established by last year's SRC. Amnesty International plays a specific role in the international protection of human rights.

Its activities focus on prisoners: *It seeks the release of prisoners of conscience.

These are people detained anywhere for their beliefs, colour, sex, ethnic origin, language or religion, who have not used or advocated violence. *It works for fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners and on behalf of such people detained without charge or trial. *It opposes the death penalty and torture or other cruel inhuman degrading treatment or of all pnsoners without punishment reservation.

Y11r On the oming of January 31st 1994, 120 now ex-year 10 students braved th exqruciatie~. heat (and lack of sleep) to ·form themselves into year 11 's. After the initial firs\f day hopelessness of "Great, 1..__ I ~ot the bottom locker" we, as BIG year 11 's, wer:e trea~~ t . a pep-talk (Mrs Kelly styl and soon found ourselves settling into the ~ear: - ai.c:t.;_wlfa'f.. a,,.year it was!!!

Llke a "survival of the fittest", term 1 pumped into action, bringing with it the threat of a major Glandular Fever epidemic. Thankfully only a few poor souls were struck down with this illness. However, this did put a dampener on Work Experience . During these two weeks, hoards of year 11 's could be seen in the second carriage of the 7:48 city-bound train. Each of us was armed with high heels, appropriate clothing and smiles for our employers. Our experiences at work were invaluable to u all, helping us to decide where our careers were headed (and where they were not).

Term 2 began with the promise of even more school work - and we were not disappointed ! Every day comments such as "Are these essays being graded ?" came from English classes, "Excuse me, are you speaking english ?" from Maths, and "I'm going to be up all night doing this" from Elective P.E. Even homeroom became a stress! EXAMS marked the end of this sleepless term. Not only did the year 11 sit the mother of Maths Methods exams, but a fortunate few had the added bonus of sitting an equally appalling Chemistry exam.

Term 3 commencec social event of the year--theFORMAL! Partners dresses, make-up shoes and hairstyles were the only words on our lips for mont up to the big night. Then (finally) on August 4th, all the . hairspray, bobby pins , lipstick and chiffon in a 4 7km radius united for one of the most unforgettabl e nights of he year! We ate, we sang, we danced (some even romanced) until the early hours of the morning.

A sea of pale, make-up stai er lethargically around school the next day, proving that some of us had not, as yet, J seen our beds and a great night had been had by all. The third term also containc: ·" thoughts of summer around the corner (anyone for 'Body-Titan' ?), even more Work Requiremen ts, the Cadillac Club closing down (not that any of us went there !) and competitions over who could stay up the longest--! think 7am won in the end. The Central Australia trip proved a perfect ending to an actionpacked term.

Back for term 4, those who had stayed in Melbourne over the holidays spent many a period drooling over . the tans and photos of those who had trekked to Central and other sunny destinations.

More Work Requiremen ts and major stress-attack s in the mornings of 'duedates' crossed our paths in term four.

Nevertheless throughout the year, the Common Room kept us sane. Every day the the microwave was fired up for cooking pies, pasties, two two minute noodles and last night's left-overs which, on occasions stunk out the room and caused some helpless student's excommunic ation.

There are however, two questions we have; 1. Why did the electricity grid pack up this this year, causing us to lose our jaffle-makin g privilages ??, and, 2. WHERE'S OUR DUSTBUSTER ????

Oh and Common Room duty done-- I'd like to see to see that ! Bu seriously, aside from these trials, this year has been filled with great enjoyment . On behalf of the students, I'd like to thank the teachers for giving us too much work, hair loss and sleepless night Oh well ! at least we're prepared for next year.

YEAR 11 [0MM0N ROOM OPENING Early in the year, the year 11 Common Room was officially opened by Miss Ryan.

Mrs Kelly oversaw this event, which was attended by the C.L.C staff and the year eleven girls of course. The imorning tea provided, set the scene for the enormous amount of food which would be consumed in the room throughout the year.

The Common Room is a place where the year elevens gather to cook brevilles, heat food, (and to make a mess), but most importantly, it is a special place in which they can as an entire group, share their important year.

CAREER AWARENESS EVENING A suggestion of Irene Harrington, President of the Parent 's Association, led to C.L.C. holding it's first Career Awareness Evening in June. The event was planned and organised by a Parent's Association Committee led by Irene Harrington and the Careers Counsellor, Patricia Dunne.

YEAR ELEVEN WORI:: EXPERIENCE During the last two weeks of term one, all year 11 students participated in the C.L.C. Work Experience program . Everyone had a different and unique story to tell. Here are a few com men ts made about the experiences some people had .

C.L.C. is extremely grateful to Michael Walsh of Southbank Management Consultancy who was involved in the organisation of the evening and also conducted three information and advice sessions for parent's entitled "How to support young adults in the job market" .

During the evening, year 10 - 12 students and their parents had the opportunity to talk individuaily to representatives of approximately eighty occupations, Universities, T AFEs and industry groups such as the Design Institute and the Australian Computer Society.

Students also had the chance to participate in the simulated interview sessions conducted by experienced interviewers in a variety of fields .

The interviews were followed by constructive feedback and advice. Peter Bryar of P.j.B. Consulting, gave generously of his time and expertise to this interviewing program .

The enthusiastic response from the students and their parents indicated that the evening successfully fulfilled the realisation of its theme "Romance Versus Reality ".

It is anticipated that the Careers Awareness Evening will be an annual event.

"JOB SEARCH SI:ILLS" WORKSHOPS Following the Careers Awareness Evening, Michael Walsh and Peter Bryar returned to C.L.C. to conduct workshops on job search skills for year 12 students . The intention is to encourage the girls to be as active as possible in their approach to their careers .

These workshops focused on promoting an understanding of the job market and ways to access it and the development of skills in communication, including resume writing and letters of application and interview preparation and techniq,ue.

The lively presentations ensured that the workshops were valuable and enjoyable .

The year 11 students were also provided with sessions on the preparation of resumes and letters -or application. Once again, the intention is to conduct these workshops on an annual basis .

EDITORIAL I

We hope that you enjoy and appreciate this year's magazine as much as we enjoyed putting it together (despite some political technicalities). We have tried very hard t o capture as many of the feelings and events that have shaped this year in the C.L.C. community, and believe me - this was not an easy thing t o do II Once again the responsibility of producing the school magazine was placed in the student's hands. We have tried to make it as creative as possible, as well as informative so that it will always serve as a permanent tribute to 1994.

There are of course, many people to thank for their invaluable help in putting the magazine together; - Hrs Warrell (who, despite fearful doubts, and regular nervous breakdowns, helped us finish on time).

- The lay out Editors; Tanya Price, Joanne McKinley - such patience and determination for perfection is remarkable, thanks for making our articles look good, -Also a huge THANK-YOU to the many other students such as Cecilia Ramsdale (helping with layout>, Lisa Baaini (typing out the year 12 pages w ould send anyone insane), Kate Gilmartin, Sally Carroll, Justine Best, Nathaly Schnitzer , Tessa Sibel, Andrea de Ciolto, Bianca Wagg, Lisa Bartolotto, Kylie Shaw, and Danielle Mell iii j ust t o mention a few, who turned up to meetings, contributed articles , ideas, and their time t o make the magazine possible.

Being involved in the magazine is a fun and w orthwhile experience. We encourage all students to get involved before it's too late. It's hard to believe that for all "us " year 12's, <G ods), our school life at C.L.C. is over, the time has just flown!

To all the students still at C.L.C., we realise that you will be greatly tormented by our departure, but don 't worry we leave you with some advice: Remember that if you are going to do something, do it properly, no matter what it is, as Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge''. Also, if you are ever in doubt chose

c.

Best Wishes to you all, and good luck in the future, especially to a 11 the depart Ing year 12's.

Anna Henry and Marianne Abouzeid Chief Editors
