Caritas 2010

Ctl'RJT11~ 2010

editorial It is my privilege and pleasure as Chief Editor of Caritas 2010 to present this report on behalf of the Magazine Team.

Ever since I began as a Magazine representative in Year 8, I aspired to one day become the editor and earn the privilege of overseeing the production of Caritas. My five years of involvement with the Magazine team has been a fulfilling learning experience which has enabled me to pursue and improve my interests in Media . The technicalities of Adobe Photoshop become more manageable with each year of experience with the Magazine team.

This year's magazine was inspired by our College theme for 2010, 'Fill your lives with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon .' If there is one thing I have learnt throughout the years, it is to take full advantage of the opportunities which are presented to me. I truly believe each of us have the ability to lead a life uncommon simply by grasping fulfilling opportunities which are placed before us.

While some of us will embark on new journeys, marking a new period in our lives, and while others will remain within the CLC community, I encourage everyone to lead a life uncommon by making the most of every opportunity which arises before you .

The completion of this year's Caritas would not have been possible without the help of devoted Magazine representatives. I would especially like to thank Sarah Gazelle for her fantastic design for this year's cover and for her dedication to the Magazine Team throughout the years, to the Year 12 girls who have assisted me with the Magazine despite dealing with the demands of VCE, particularly Michelle Licuanan. I would like to thank Mrs . Mason for her dedication and efforts in putting together Caritas 2010 . I wish the Magazine team of 2011 the very best.

Catherine Falali s Chief Student Edi tor

I would particularly like to thank Mr Tod for his ongoing support and guidance throughout my time at CLC, especially throughout this year, Amy Bryans for her continuous moral support and my amazing family for their encouragement, support and patience throughout the year.

I hope you enjoy this year's Caritas!

C11'RJT11~ 2010

Principal The 2010 Theme has provid ed the vis ion and co nn ections for our College Community throughout this year. The lives and stories of Mary of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, Mary Aikenhead and Mary MacKillop have inspired and guided us as we have explored the challenge of living a life uncommon in 2010. It has been pleasing to share the strong, courageous and compassionate choices students have made; th e initiatives and goodwill that has emerged is a credit to so many.

It has also been delightful to observe and share the many different student achievements and successes this year; resi lience, initiative, in novation and engagement have been central to the journey of our students. Programs including Social Justice, Student Leadership, Outreach and Community Service, the Indigenous Immersion Experience, Outdoor Education and more recently our Rock Ballet, " Jo se ph and the Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat" ha ve enabled students to journey in self-discovery, risktaking, knowledge, reflection and trust .

In acknowledging the giftedness and generosity within our community, I particularly thank the College Board of Directors, the College Parents ' Association and the Old Collegians' Association . The work of each of these groups provides wise and generous input into so many facets of Catholic Ladies' College life. Together with College Staff, each respective group strives to provide the best possible learning environment for our students.

At this tim e of year, I am also mindful of those who are fin ishing their time at Catholic Ladies ' College, be they students, families or staff; I sincerely thank each and every one for your time with us. May Catholic Ladi es' Co lleg e always hold a special place in your journey.

Special congratu lation s and thanks to Mrs Lynn Mason, Student Editor, Catherine Falalis and the Student Magazine Team . I know every student wi ll enjoy and treasure the 2010 stories, connections and community as presented in this edition of Caritas.

Finally thank you to our students whose work, application, friendship and passion for life make Catholic Ladies' College a great school to belong to .

Mrs Margaret McKenna Principal

Coll~g~

Captain

It is difficult to briefly express about my time as College Captain. Quite simply, it has been an awesome experience. All the people I have had the chance to meet is due to the privilege of being School Captain. I have met and befriended so many amazing girls with a range of talents and personalities . They have made me very honoured to represent the school.

Being involved in the school production was an incredible experience.

It gave me the chance to meet many brilliant girl s who put in a great deal of hard work, time and care. The Student Leadership Team this year has complete ly amazed me with the sheer amount of dedication they have put into raising money, putting on school events and simply trying to make CLC a great school to attend.

There was nothing more memorable than seeing my fellow Year 12 leaders, amidst the stresses of VCE, getting excited about all the cupcakes and lolli es the leadership team had brought in for a cake stall.

I will never forget the supporti ve and collaborative way the team operated .

This is but a small illustration of what I have encountered this year. I thought when I entered Year 12 that I had CLC completely figured out, but this year has proved that CLC still has the capacity to surprise and move me .

Catholic Ladies ' College has such a good heart and this is due to all the people who make up the community. I ha ve been so proud and pleased to be College Captain, and I wi ll miss CLC ve ry mu ch .

Amy Bryans College Captain

We are very proud of Catholic Ladies' College Mary MacKillop Canonisation Student Representative, Elizabeth Muscat, who travelled to Rome to share the canonisation of Austra lia's first Saint.

CTI 'RJTTI~ 2010

oordinators' 'R~fl~ctio_ns 2010 has been a most exciting year for the senior students and each year level has had its highlights. As each student entered the grounds in February, they came with excitement to see their friends , and with some trepidation of what the year may bring them . All of a sudden the year was over. The Year 12s began the year by completing the Morrisby Report which assists them in understanding their learning styles and how they may fit into a career path . On the other hand, the Year 10s completed the Fast Track program which explores the interests, personality and possible pathways for students. To further understand their options after school the Year 12s participated at a Tertiary Information session at La Trobe University which the girls found very helpful . All students of Years 10, 11 and 12 have been encouraged to visit Open Days and many did so.

Socially, the Years 11 and 12 enjoyed their very elegant formal evenings which were well organised by the students themselves in conjunction with their respective Year Level Coordinator, Mr Hobbs(Year 11) and Mr Salmic (Year 12) .

For the Year 10 students the event was a Year 10 Social at Whitefriars and the evening was a great success. A vote of thanks must go to Ms Charalambous for the organisation of the evening.

There is an old saying 'Time flies faster than the weaver's shuttle '. Today we might say 'Time flies faster than an internet exchange''. The idea is that our experience of time is one where time continues, and within a given episode of t ime change is always taking place . Each day each student at Catholic Ladies ' College will grow to be a little older, bad or good haircuts eventually grow out and, as we have experienced this year, the consequences of changing weather patterns affect our communities in very significant ways. Recently Year 8 students visited Marysville and Lake Mountain to ski in an abundance of snow. The evidence of bushfires remained and new growth was also visible. The consequences of the snow and rain are welcomed in that our dams will fill; however, at the same time , flood waters from too much rain will cause hardship for many people .

As we grow each of us must learn to live with time. We learn that distressing experiences can heal and each day brings an opportunity for renewal. Growing into the person we wish to be takes time; in fact it is a journey that continues throughout our whole lives . In nature the seasons come and go and we learn that we must plant seeds in spring and water them in summer if we wish to see them flourish, grow flowers and produce fruit.

At Catholic Ladies ' College each Middle Years student is treasured and the Middle Years Program is carefully designed so each student can, throughout their three year experience, maximise growth in these special years. Each student is learning to head a healthy and balanced lifestyle while feeling a deep sense of belonging within our school community. An important aspect of our learning is that if we value what we are studying and really try to be the best student we can be, the rewards will follow . As students, how you balance your life and use each small package of time will make a difference to your academic achievement and to your whole person.

For Year 7 students the wonderful camp at Mount Eliza in Term One, the Peer Support Program, Study Skills Program, excursions and the Tree of Life Program, contributed to feelings of being known, cqnnecting with others and of each student setting personal goals and learning new skills in an exciting educational setting.

As with each year, the senior students have involved themselves in all aspects of the life of the College. In the areas of sport, the Senior House Captains led the students with enthusiasm, drive and passion. In the area of the Performing Arts, the seniors participated in overwhelming numbers and led by example in their support of those directing the show. Nothing was too much trouble and as a result the final evenings were most memorable for all those who participated and for those who watched. The Visual Art Exhibition in early October showcased the talents of many of our senior students.

Earlier in the year the Year 10 and the Year 11 students were involved in the community by way of Work Experience for the Year 11 or Community Service for the Year 10s.

For all students these experiences were, for the most part, very different to what they were used to and yet the students felt rewarded and learned much from their time during this week. During this week the Year 12s went to Creswick or Grantville for their Retreat which was, as always, a memorable event for both the staff involved and the students.

I would like to wish the Years 10, 11 and 12 students well for the future and thank them for the support they have been for the rest of the College. I would also like to thank the Years 12, 11 , and 10 Year Level Teams ably led by Mr Frank Salmic, Mr Jeff Hobbs and Ms Jade Charalambous respectively, for without their total commitment to the lives of every student in their year level the Senior Years Programs would never run in the effective manner that it did this year.

Mrs Christina Pascalis Senior Years Coordinator

Year 8 students were challenged to focus on a theme while on City Experience and to learn skills and strategies in order to maximise time in the city. The Study Skills Program and Conflict Resolution Program assisted students with studies and managing personal relationships.

Year 9 students surfed, climbed, canoed and trekked in groups as part of the Activity Day's program and experienced aspects of life in the Yarra Valley through the Healesville/Comely Bank program.

Significant learning progress was revealed in the truly fabulous IBP presentations to parents on an aspect of sustainability.

The achievements and personal growth of each student from Year 7 through to Year 9 is remarkable . At our Middle Years Celebration of Learning Assembly, students displayed many talents as leaders and learners.

As students who committed to do your best and together create such a wonderful, memorable year, I applaud and congratulate you. Home Room teachers, Subject t eachers, and Year Level Team Leaders: Mrs Brock (Yr7), Mrs Maher (Yr 8), and Mr Pearce {Yr 9) have worked creatively and cooperatively in teams to create a strong Middle Years experience for all students .

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, I am reminded of the ongoing generosity and kindness shared within the Middle Years and the many Social Justice activities that involved us . Even though life has been full of tasks and activities, students have been encouraged to spend time being still in order to experience the deep, still calm of Christian Prayerful Meditation where we can be at one with the loving spirit within. May your holidays be filled with love and fun and renew you for 2012.

Y~ar 7 first CVay As we entered CLC, we noticed all the nervous, new faces of our new classmates.

Some students stuck close to their parents and families unsure of what life at CLC would bring them and others were happy to let their families go as they were happy and excited to make new friends.

As the day progressed we pondered as to why we were so nervous in the first place. Ufe at CLC seemed like It was going to be lots of fun with the support of our teachers, parents anc:! friends along the way.

We could clearly see that our time at CLC would bring many challenges and achievements.

Y~ar 7 'R~fl~ction On January 29 2010 , 156 girl s began their secondary school journey. Initially there were a few an xious mom ents and even some worri ed parents peering into th e classrooms . However, on ce settled into their new classes, the girl s readily embraced all that the day offered.

The Year 7s were indeed fortunate to experien ce many learning opportunities beyond th e cla ss room in 2010. In Term I they enjoyed a three day Outdoor Education camp to Camp Manyung at Mount Eli za. The weather was wonderful and the girls participated in such activities as vertical challenge, canoe ing, sea kayaking , the flying fo x, snorkelling , bea ch ed , raft building , giant swing , leap of faith and high/ low ropes course and fishing.

These activiti es were not only physically challenging, but they also provided many opportunities for the girls to meet, mi x and work with many new girls and form some new friendships .

There wa s also much excitement and fun enjoyed by all at the eve ning activities which included the Talent night, House Games Challenge and watching " Hairspray ". Th e three days proved to be a positi ve bonding experience .

Many excursions were enjoyed by the Year 7s throughout the year including trips to the National Sports Museum, the National Gallery, the Zoo and Jets Gymnastics. They also had many opportunities to celebrate, learn and reflect as a group including the Year 7 and 12 Easter breakfast, Peer Support, Reflection Day at the Eltham Community Centre, the Tree of Life Programme, the Study Skills Day and th e Year 7 Eucharist.

It was wonderful to see many of the girls participate in the extensive range of extra-curricular activities offered at CLC. Year 7s have ably represented the College in many sporting competitions and been involved in a variety of clubs and groups including Book Club, Drama Club, Social Justice Group, Choir, Junior Band, Tech Angels, Junior Debating and Tournament of Minds. I was delighted to see several Year 7 girls participate in the College production " Joseph and his Technicolour Dream Coat" and can only marvel at their enthusiasm and many skills and talents.

This year has been a busy and exciting one. I would like to thank all who contributed to the successful running of this year level. In particular, I thank the Year 7 Homeroom teachers, Chris Nolan, Tina Wilkinson, Carey Webster, Michelle Onezime, Chris Haller, David Young, Geraldine Sanderson, Jacinta Forde and Katherine Fullarton for their dedicated interaction with the girls in their care .

I was truly delighted to see the girls in Year 7 embrace with joy, enthusiasm and commitment all of the opportunities the College offered this year. The girls can indeed look back on their year with much pride and a real sense of achievement. The Year 7s of 2010 readi ly embraced and enthusiastically participated in all that they could this year and were a shining example of this year's College theme of "fill your lives with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon".

tious~ 'R~port The Year 7 Netball competition was an exciting event for all competitors and spectators . Year 8 students umpired the round robin games every Tuesday and Thursday at lunchtime for five weeks . The winners were from Vincentia - the poppies and the roses. It was a great experience for the Year 7 students to meet new people and make new friends.

Year 7 House Captains: Chantelle Caruana (Aikenhead), Adele Mossuto (Loyola), Toneisha Lane (Marita), Talia Crisara (Vincentia) The Founder's Day Super Challenge was a great experience that enabled us to witness the true spirit of the Catholic Ladies' College House Community. House members competed in various events with an abundance of laughter, fun and craziness that filled the hall. It was really fun to assist with the organisation, set up, participation and seeing the whole school come together.

Year 8 House Captains; Bethany Dozzi (Aikenhead), Georgina White (Loyola), Charlotte Brancatisano (Marita), Liana Tieri (Vincentia).

Simply Sharing was a great way to obtain House points and to donate food to those less fortunate than us. Each year level donated various food items, with a total of 757 items being donated for those in need within the local community. In Year 9, we all brought in items such as; milo, tea, coffee and long-life milk. The collection process became quite competitive between House members. The winning Year Level was Year 7, donating a total of 203 items.

Year 9 House Captains; Georgia Lauritz (Aikenhead), Ashleigh Riddell (Loyola), Rachel Watkinson (Marita), Georgia Borg (Vincentia).

The honour and opportunity of being a House Captain for 2010 has been a fun and rewarding experience . Working with Ms Loughman and Mr Young, we really enjoyed helping to organise and prepare various events such as the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals and Founder's Day. We have been able to develop our leadership skills and learn to undertake responsibility within the school community.

The position of a House Captain is highly recommended to students who are enthusiastic, energetic and willing to put in 'the hard yards '

Year 10 House Captains; Ashlee Davis (Aikenhead), Gemma Moss (Loyola), Mollie Bracken (Marita), Rachel Grounds (Vincentia).

As always the Swimming Carnival was a great sport-based event within the College. Many girls were involved in the numerous events, scoring valuable points for their Houses.

All the students and even the teachers took on the 'Sea Creatures' them e and participating in the pool activities.

Overall the day was fantastic and everyone immersed themselves in their House spirit.

Year 11 House Captains; Laura-Lee Caruana (Aikenhead), Lauren Sandars (Loyola), Anita DelleVergini (Marita), Brittany Massey (Vincentia).

The Athletics Carnival this year was a huge success, with amazing weather and much fun had by all. The theme for the day was 'Disney cartoons ' which proved to be a great prompt for all year levels and we saw a wide range of fantastic characters .

Not only track and field events took place on the day. Best Dressed and House Spirit competitions provided loads of fun and added points to the House Spirit Cup tally.

Vincentia were the overall winners of the day and Loyola took out the House Spirit award . All House members enjoyed a great Athletics Carnival.

Year 12 House Captains; Jacqueline Henwood (Aikenhead), Samantha Shelton (Loyola), Brianah Stroszynski (Marita), Alysha Buzzini (Vincentia).

This year has gone so quickly, yet I have loved every second of it. In comparison to previous years, the Student Leadership Team has grown into a tight bond that is indescribable . By the end of the year, we stepped back as a team and were pleased with what we achieved.

Student Leadership Team Captains 2010 2nd Row L-R: Kaisha Crupi, Katelyn Duckworth, Hannah Alford , Madeleine Egan Front Row L-R: Carlene Parker, Laura Bumpstead , Amy Bryans, Brittany Grimble

In terms of activities, we launched into it at the beginning of the year with Project Compassion; with concerts, netball matches, cake stalls, icy pole stalls, casual clothes days and general donations from the heart. The school - with the enormous effort from the SLT ourselves, we were able to raise over $5,000 to help others through Caritas, not only in Third World cou ntries, but also in Central Australia. With the money raised, we we re able to come that little bit closer towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals set by the United Nations to half world poverty by 2015.

We were also fortunate enough to ha ve Nillumbik Shire workers come to the school to talk to us about activities available for teenagers in the area and w hat we could do to improve these ideas. As a group, we got our ideas flowing and came up with some great ideas for the Nillumbik Shire.

After the Nillumbik Shire meeting, as a group, we again tapped into our creativity to see what we could do to make the school a better pla ce to work in. We developed the id ea of recycle "Visy Bins " and have begun introducing them in the more needed areas of the school such as like the junior year levels, the computer rooms and other specialty areas. I hope that in future years the Visy Bins will be available in every classroom so, as a school, we can help pre serve the environment a little more.

As a final fund raiser and as a traditional day of the school calendar, Footy and Crazy Stockings Day was held on the 10th of September. Peop le were told t o dress in their favourite football jumpers or in crazy stockings where all the proceeds would go to the Royal District Nursing Service especially for medi ca l stock ings to those who needed them. It was a wonderful day with a stocking parade in the morning and footy games in the gym with footy players in the afternoon. It was a fantastic da y all for a good cause.

The Student Leadership Team in 2010 met every fortnight and achieved much. Hopefully, we will be remembered as th e t ea m which was really energetic, full of idea s and made the school a happier place for everyone .

Not one of them responded, or turned their heads. She felt sad inside. She did live here once, back in the day, when it was first built by her grandfather. She grew up here .

During the times of war. " I'm dead " she thought.

She examined herself. She checked her arms, her legs, her torso ; she could see them all .

She ran towards the house . She built up all her courage and opened the door. She walked inside and the first thing she noticed was the arched hallway entrance . She remembered that from when she grew up here : the way she used to pose against it like she was one of those runway models. She saw the children 's mother.

"Hello?" she called . " I used to live here once."

Not one person replied to her.

She continued walking around the house, into her old room, into her parent's old room, and she saw the mark that she had made as a child with her pencil. " I miss this place" she said .

Her arms were in her dress pockets. She wandered through the house into the backyard , where the children were playing on the old, rusted swing set . The placement reminded her of when she was a child, when she would play with her father and grandfather.

It was getting late, so she wandered back through the house, to the front door. She turned around and whispered "I used to live

Y~ar 8 'R~fl~etion This year has been one of much learning and growing for the Year 8 students. As well as applying themselves diligently to their academic studies, they have had many opportunities to extend their knowledge outside the classroom and to challenge themselves physically.

City Experience is always a highlight of the year. The students conducted themselves well during the city visits and supported each other as they negotiated the busy streets.

Their multimedia and oral presentations were very well received by their parents at the Presentation Evening.

The students participated actively and enthusiastically in our Medieval Day. This was an excellent opportunity to experience first hand the life style of that period. Mission Day was an opportunity for the students to appreciate the challenges faced by people living in the world's developing countries and to think about how they can make a difference to these people's lives. Our Halloween Dinner was a wonderful social event and a cha nee for the students to dress up and dance the night away.

The Cross-country ski camp this year was held at a time when Victoria was experiencing its best snow conditions for many years. Our students had to push themselves way beyond their comfort zones in the extreme conditions and the staff involved were very impressed with their efforts.

Throughout the year, Year 8 students have been enthusiastic participants in all the College events, including the Athletics and Swimming Carnivals, and many of them have represented the College in sporting teams .

They have raised money for charities on numerous occasions and they have supported each other as friends when times were a little difficult.

It has been a genuine pleasure working with these students this year and I wish them all the best in their years ahead here at CLC. I thank sincerely the Homeroom teachers who have worked closely with their students and always had their best interests at heart.

English Report 2010: Preparing for the Future The approach of the Australian Curriculum has required teachers of English in both primary and secondary schools throughout Australia to reflect on their current curriculum and pedagogy and respond to the new national agenda .

English is one of the four key subject areas that will implement the Australian Curriculum from 2012 for Years K to 10, with trialling beginning in 2011 in some schools. English has been divided into three key domains : language (so there will be a greater focus on grammar and understanding and manipulating the conventions of spoken and written English) ; literature ( with a focus on Australian, indigenous, Asian and world literature) and literacy, which embraces oral, visual and digital literacies.

The same three domains of language, literature and literacy, will be at the heart of the four courses offered in Senior English throughout Australia : English, English as an Additional Language, Literature, and Essential English. These new courses will be offered to Year 11 students in 2013 and Year 12 students in 2014.

The proposed changes to the English curriculum across Australia has required considerable investment of time and energy, not to mention professional reflection and selfevaluation, from teachers of English .

Engagement is fundamental to good teaching and English actively supports key interdisciplinary programs, such as City Experience in Year 8, which strive to make learning self-directed and engaged. In 2010, students have benefited from a number of opportunities to enhance their English skills, to become engaged and inspired. Year 12 Literature students enjoyed a workshop on Hamlet provided by Complete Works Theatre Company and in July went to see the stunning Melbourne Theatre Company production of Richard III at the new Sumner Theatre; while Year 12 English students had their study of the film Look Both Ways enriched by a lecture from Dr Josh Nelson .

A group of twenty Year 10 students enjoyed a trip to this year's Melbourne Writer's festival to hear from authors such as Melina Marchetta , Anna Pajavic and Steven Herrick. Public speaking, Debating , Toastmasters, Tournament of the Minds and Writing Workshops are avenues for giving speaking and listening, reading and writing a public stage, and this year many students benefited from participation in these extracurricular activities .

In August, English Week and Book Week commenced in style with a hearty breakfast provided by the Resource Centre and accompanied by a talk from guest writer Lili Wilkinson . This week is always a highlight of the faculty's calendar and theatre performances were a feature of this year's program . Students were treated to a number of performances by the Complete Works Theatre Company. This lively troupe of actors presented a condensed version of William Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet to Year 10 and a condensed version of the bard's Macbeth to students in Year 11. The company congratulated our students on their attentive and appreciative response . Poetry came to life for Year 7 students with the rap and rhyme antics of the actors .

Teamwork will be of critical importance in the future to continue to develop our curriculum, to harness our collective creativity and skills . The support of the College 's Leadership Team, the dedication of our Individual Learning team, the expertise and assistance of the Resource Centre Staff, all have been vital in the continuing process of stri ving for best practice English teaching at Catholic Ladies' College .

Individual What an exciting and fun filled year we have had' Many girls have been assisted with in class support, small group work, individual help and after school Homework Help sessions in our library. The students attending Homework Help have increased in numbers and many girls are finding this a very useful way in which to access assistance . Thank you to Ms Laura Farchione, in particular, for supervising this, and also to Alison Pharoah and Mr David Young for providing teacher input for maths help.

A number of girls have participated in activities that extend and enrich their learning such as Toastmasters, sessions with a visiting journalist, The Age Writers Festival, Tournament of Minds and the da Vinci Decathlon.

Two girls also took part in the Vocational Preparation Program focusing on life and employability skills.

Thank you to all the Individual Learning Team - Ms Laura Farchione, Ms Carmel Meehan, Mrs Judy Haberman and Mrs Maureen Emslie for their wonderful, tireless work with all our girls.

·~ Throughout Humanities WEl have learnt many interesting .things about different eras and civilizations . We started learning about the fall of the Roman E;mpire and then ~ we looked at Medieval History and the Renaissance period . It has been interesting learning about how people used to Jive so many years before us, and how time has changed . We really enjoyed our Medieval Day which 1lllowed us to participate in Medieval dancing and comb!ll~ It was fun to use a Medieval weapon and have a go at being a knight. We were also introduced to Medieval punishment b y actually seeing • (and experiencing) the 'IYeapons and tactics usea . Some of us were placed into the stocks which was a,Meq eval way of dealing with crime . We had the ?PPOrtunity .to come to school dressi:id as a lady, kJiight, peasant or any other person of the Medieval tiine . We loved the Medieval-assignment as we found it to be intriguing to research about this time in history. Many ofJUs made castles and we even created · our own M ~dleval village! It has been interesting learning about each per iod in history and how people lived. We learned so much about society, re ligi~n . traditions , government, law, fashion and even .musi~! · •

Year 9 Humanities has been a unique exJJerience . We have all had amazing opportunities to learn .and inquire about history, geography and Ai)stralia . The most memorable experience was learning about the Eureka Stockade and having a day at ~overeign Hill. This was a chance fo0Js to find our.own information and learn independently. Every task we have had this year in Humanities has fv cused on a different way of thinking : Role-plays , making diora il'tas, producing a newspaper · alld the usual test or two. Every, topic studied brought new challenges that were all equall'y fascinating . Overall , Humanities has been such a diverse subject that has inspired many of us' to extend our knowledge of the world around us.

Languages Other Than English It has been another action packed year for LOTE . Here are some of our highlights to whet your appetite for language learning next year!

Tour of Germany and Austria - 23 students from Years 10 and 11 embarked on an adventure to visit the sites, soak up the atmosphere, immerse themselves in the language and connect with host families at our sister school in Passau . An amazing experience for all!

Stay tuned for a Tour of Malaysia in 2011!

Excursions and Activities Indonesian Independence Day - Year 12 Indonesian students attended a ceremony to commemorate Indonesian Independence Day. Girls developed creative talents in a Gamelan Workshop and savoured the taste of Indonesian food at Nelayan Restaurant.

German Day Out - Year 10 German students spent the day in the city, attending a Forum in the Melbourne Town Hall, then moved on to Federation Square to enjoy Bretzel and Wurst, bop along to a German Rap concert and take part in quizzes with SBS Radio .

And the list goes on ... Year 9 restaurant excursions for Indonesian and German, German Poetry Competitions, LOTE week, a Hip Hop Puppet Show.

People and classes This year we welcomed Isabell Muller, an intern from Germany, to CLC. Over 4 months she has worked with girls to share her culture, hold a book club and encourage girls to try out their German . We have really appreciated her input and enjoyed getting to know her.

Two German exchange students also sent time in Year 10 this year, Lulu Waggershauser and Marie Weinhold. They enjoyed their time and were very much part of the school community during their visits .

Girls have had so many opportunities to improve their language skills creative film making projects, music and film clips, online networks with schools in other countries, collaborative projects, ALC competitions and lessons with Language Assistants!

Learning Languages can open doors to many exciting opportunities both during your school years and beyond . We look forward to continuing the journey with you in 2011 .

Math~matics Wow' What a big year this has been for Mathematics at CLC and for me as a new teacher to the school.

Over the course of the year we have had some great things happening at many different year levels .

One of the big events was the participation in the Year 10 State - wide Mathematics Games Day held at Mt Scopus Memorial College . Two teams of 4 girls each travelled to Burwood to compete against 54 other teams in problem solving, one-on-one maths games and a relay. Overall on the day, the teams were placed 42°0 and 48'h and a lot of fun was had by all.

At other year levels, there have been initiatives like the introduction of the new Tl-nspire CAS calculators at Year 9 and 10.

These have made a big difference to the way the students learn Mathematics, especially those feared topi cs like algebra and graphing . The girls will continue to develop these skills over the coming years into their VCE .

Year 7 and 8 students have been challenged each week by Mr Kelly's Question of the Week - a problem-solving question posed in the student bulletin each Monday, often with a little twist. Many of the girls respond to these questions each week, with some good prizes on offer.

At senior levels, we have introduced a tutor to come in and help out the girls each Monday and Tuesday during their study periods, and this should certainly assist in gaining those extra marks in their exams and therefore boosting the Mathematics Study Scores at the end of the year.

It has been a big challenge for me to come into this vibrant and energetic College and continue to promote and enliven the Mathematics curriculum . Over the ne xt few years, I hope to extend some of these initiatives and introduce new and exciting events into the students' mathematics experien ce.

Th~ netur~

of lov~

Love is not just a word, it's a secret magic that possesses the ability relieve us of the stress on our shoulders and the pain in our lives. With love comes comfort and a sense of belonging, it does not have one meaning but many. There are countless love stories and songs that have branched out from a variety of different forms of love ; love at first sight, unrequited love and maternal love. Being in love is a powerful thing and it propels us to do things we wouldn 't usually do, it's a warm feeling of courage and spontaneity jam packed in the one emotion that is love. The rarest form of love is love at first sight, and with this comes instant passion , devotion and courage.

When we think of love at first sight we usually go straight to the classic love story of Romeo and Juliet where this theme of love is portrayed beautifully. Love at first sight is all about faith, passion and instant adoration towards someone you literally just met and for this rea son, it is over-used, dramatised and even criticised . There are countless movies depicting the theme of this particular love including Romeo and Juliet, High School Musical and Titanic. For instance, the moment Romeo and Juliet's eyes meet they feel this immense gravity-like being pulled to be together.

Love at first sight propelled these two Shakespearian characters to go to the extremes in order to be together forever. The special thing about love at first sight is that it contains a kind of particular power that dissolves problems whilst redirecting what really matters to the heart by skipping all the nonsense of the world and what people think . Unrequited love on the other hand is not recognised as being a pleasant and wonderful feeling, although loving someone when they don 't love you back can have some advantages.

Unrequited love is noted to be the most pure kind of love. It is when you love someone and they don't

particularly love you back. It may hurt you emotionally and it may make you cry but in the back of your mind it triggers fantasies and dream s about a perfect life with a special person in your life. Unrequited love is pure in the wa y in which it makes one overlook imperfections and flaws in people one admires; it adds a sense of belief and faith to the person experiencing it. Faith because somewhere in the back of their mind they believe that if they endure watching their crush on someone else for a certain period of time the person they like might eventually notice them therefore fulfilling one 's dreams and fantasies .

Unrequited love can sometimes blind people who are affected by its purity for example; in the fourth movie of the Harry Potter films we are introduced to a classic case of unrequited love between the two characters Ron Weasley and Lavender Brown . Ron falls head over heels for her and is ' blinded ' by his love towards her; he ignores her stalker-like passionate behaviour habits and manages to stay with her for quite some time.

Love can be known as blinding in not only unrequited love but also maternal love, the love between mother and daughter.

When I think about it, the core reasons for the majority of arguments I have with my mother are about her being over protective and nurturing. In a way it's because she loves me too much and now that I look at it from that perspective I try and reason with her instead of heading straight to yelling and no matter what I do and what I say that may hurt her I'll always know that she loves me . This is a case of maternal love and it is a love so strong it can overpower every negative aspect and every bad thing a child does to their mother. From the minute a mother gives birth to her new baby child, her whole world changes . She finds herself revolving around the needs and wants of her new baby boy or girl and completely adores them even when they wake her up during the middle of the night . The power of maternal love lasts a lifetime and it is this love that I believe conquers all the other types of love because no matter what you do or what your mother does you will always have a deep connection and the ability to love her unconditionally.

The three varieties of love that I have aforementioned all tie in to the two key aspects that make love what it is; comfort and belief. When you 're with the person you love, your mother, friend or mystery man, you feel a sense of belonging and a part inside you that beckons you on to lose fears and to just believe in someone else . Love at first sight has taught thousands of young people that feeling an instant attraction and adoration to a random you bumped into on the street is possible, it revolves around the theme of believing and taking that leap of faith to trust your gut and to just flow with what destiny throws at you . Unrequited love on the other hand plays with the theme of belief in a way which triggers ones imagination; it makes you think of the 'What ifs' and possibilities that could happen if you and the person you secretly love got together. Maternal love focuses more on the comfort, security and belief between a mother and daughter and this particular kind of love is really what gives people the courage and the ability to believe in one 's self because no matter what you do, your mother will always back you up and be there to lend a hand and to give support. In all , love is a beautiful thing and should never be taken for granted .

Have you said 'I love you' to someone today?

G1iRIT1i~ 2010 Mr Brian Pearce

At the ripe old age of 14 or 15, the Year 9 girls have set their sights on the adult world and are keen to access its privileges, whilst still being unaware of, happy to postpone, or actively avoiding the full extent of the responsibilities that go with it. The theme for the girls for the year has been "learning to negotiate the adult world", placing an emphasis on patience, respect and understanding, and working with, rather than against, their homes, school and other support structures. The high level of good will, cooperation and good humour that has developed amongst this group over the course of the year has been very pleasing to see .

Much of the work the girls have done at school this year, they would perhaps consider to be mundane but it will hopefully be absorbed rather than forgotten and provide a solid base for their future development. We have also tried to provide the girls the opportunities to grow and learn through "peak" experiences, ones that they will hopefully look back on in the future as memorable and valuable parts of their learning . The Activity Days, Healesville Experience, Inquiry Based Project, and various Reflection Days have been specific to Year 9. They have also participated in many subject excursions, sports days, assemblies and celebrations. I have observed the students engaged in many interesting and challenging class projects and assessment tasks throughout the year.

Here at CLC Years 7 to 9 are considered to be the Middle School. After graduating from Middle School this year, the girls will move on to a curriculum based more specifically around individual performance, the requirements of the VCE and entry to tertiary education. Hopefully, the girls have made the most of the opportunities provided over the past three years to develop as independent learners, become aware of their own and others ' preferred learning styles, improve their ability to work constructively as a team member, learn how to ask intelligent questions and learn how to setup, follow through and present a self directed investigation .

I would like to thank the Year 9 Home Room teachers: Dr Dawn Duncan, Ms Jessica Gibson, Mr Tony Regan, Ms Josie Loughman, Mr Patrick Platt and Mrs Helen Paraskevopoulos for their support of me, the Yr 9 program and the girls over the year.

ort Captain The rest of the year saw many triumphs and achievements in all areas of sport, not just with interschool competitions, but with various enjoyable inter-house and teacher students matches as well.

The entire school should be congratulated in the various ways they have participated in any 'areas of the sporting life at CLC this year.

Also to be congratulated this year are the several girls in the school who reached high levels of State and National competition in their preferred sports.

There is now the promising prospective of success and achievement from many of the girls in the younger year levels as the girls in the older year levels begin to depart the school.

I think one word which would describe the efforts displayed in the sporting community of CLC this year, is inspirational. From the moment the first people arrived at the CLC swimming carnival at the start of the year, the efforts displayed have been outstanding.

The year began with the fantastic Swimming Carnival at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre . This enabled opportunities for all members of the CLC Community to become involved whether it was anyone willing to jump in the pool and compete, or those talented people who created amazing costumes to accompany the year's theme of Sea Creatures, which saw lobsters, starfish, sailors and even mermaids making an appearance!

One of the highlights of my year representing the sporting community would have to be the Interschool Swimming Competition, which preceded the swimming carnival. The night saw CLC place first overall in the division . Although this was a great achievement, the team spirit and enthusiasm amazed me. We were the only team to have all its members at the presentation podium; all anticipated and celebrated the win together, with all year levels uniting as one team and cheering each other on. Throughout the whole evening, the encouragement from the audience stands never ceased and was a proud moment for the College Community.

This team spirit and enthusiasm has been displayed throughout the whole year, through the diverse range of sports that CLC offers to all of its students, including soccer, basketball, netball, football, tennis, hockey, cross country, athletics, cheer leading, aerobics, softball, volleyball and the equestrian team, just to name a few.

Our Athletics Carnival in Term 2 was also a great success, with the theme of Disney/ Pixar cartoon characters proving a fantastic theme for the sunny day ; the girls jumped , threw and ran to the best of their abilities.

Finally, I would just like to express how privileged and honoured I have felt to represent the school as your Sports Captain this year. The enthusiasm, effort, and outstanding teamwork that have been displayed on every occasion are a true reflection on the CLC community as a whole, and one of which we should be very proud. On behalf of Brittany Grimble and myself, I wish to thank you for the opportunity to represent you this year, wish you all the best of luck for years to come , and wish next year's Sport Captains all the best.

Thank you Katelyn Duckworth Sports Captain 2010

Y~ar 10 'R~fl~ction Year 10 - A Year of Growth

Year 10 was a year full of experiences and discoveries that made us all start to reflect on who we are. We al l had to question ourselves and our futures . We have all had to make the major decisions of what we would like to do and be, and the corresponding subjects we will need to do to reach our dreams.

Of course, we also can't forget the terrifying thought of semester exams. These were the first exams most of us had to underta ke and for some it was a cha ll enge and for others it was simply a new experience. However for all of us it was just another step in our journey towards a bright future.

With a new year come new homerooms, new friends and even new teachers. We have all strengthened our existing friendships, branched out to other friendship groups, and become a more interconnected year level in general.

We have all grown as people; some students have grown through leadership roles, such as in Peer Support or Conflict Resolution, and we have been able to take on the responsibility and had the privilege of guiding and looking out for the younger girls at an important stage in their lives .

One thing that was truly amazing was our school production this year. Choreographed by Karina Aston, the lead played by Sophie Bonello, and including man y other Year 10 students, 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat ' was simp ly superb. Th ese superstars have showcased the amazing variety and talent here at CLC. Other activities included Debating, Toastmasters, Community Service, Tournament of the Minds, the Science Extension Program, Founder's Day, Indigenous Immersion, Germany Trip, the Whitefriars Social, sport teams, music bands, other leadership roles and so much more .

Ms Jade Charalambous Year 10 Team Leader

This has bee n the year where we have had a heap of fun, especially before next year when we begin to concentrate more on our future .

Samantha Bird and Abhilasha Gaddi

Toastmasters helped me with my confidence, public speaking and along the way I made amazing friends.

Simran Preet Kaur

The Indigenous Immersion really opened my eyes and my heart to all the love and joy that people can give to someo ne they don 't even know.

Jacqueline Kingston-Waras

This year I had the opportunity to be a Peer Support Leader. I had so much fun with my group and became great friends with the younger girls, and it is nice to know I helped them to settle into our school a littl e easier.

SOCIAL JUSTICE STUDENTS, ARE THEY MARY OR MARTHA? Being a member of the Social Justice Group Is voluntary. I believe that most volunteers' actions are driven by their passion, care and love for something or someone without expecting anything in return, and these are what the Social Justice students have been demonstrating throughout the year. They have been tirelessly and cooperatively working with and for others under the leadership of their Captain, carlene Parker.

The Social Justice students demonstrate their passion for the betterment of our planet Earth by participating in the Clean Up Australia Day; in doing so they lived out their stewardship of the planet. They are compassionate towards other people who are in need in other parts of this planet. They expressed their solidarity with Burmese women refugees who live on the border of Laos and Cambodia through their participation in the Silent-a-thon activity. For poor farmers whose crops are not fairly paid for, the group held the Fair Trade milkshake and hot chocolate stall once a week during Term 2 and the beginning of Term 3. The objective of this stall was primarily to raise awareness within the College Community about injustice in the pricing of the cash crops of farmers in th~ less developed countries.

This year the Social Justice students start a new initiative called Do40thers. In this new initiative, participating students choose to give up something for 40 hours to raise some funds for poor children in Papua New Guinea. By so doing, the group plays a small part in achieving the Millennium Development Goals which were initiated by the United Nations in 2000. One of the goals is to reduce the mortality rate of children by 2015. The College Community participated in the Stand Up Day, the objective of which is to urge our government and those of other developed countries to commit to the Millennium Development Goals.

Apart from doing activities, the Social Justice Students also listened . They listened to guest speakers' experiences and life stories both within and outside of the school. They listened to the story of the Stolen Generation with empathy. They asked the guest speaker questions which Indicated their interest and commitment to the social justice issues. Throughout the year, some students were Invited to attend some social justice workshops. These opportunities extended and nourished their interest and commitment to social justice issues.

Let's go back to the question in the title of the article, 'Are they Mary or Martha?' For those who are familiar with the story of Mary and Martha in Scripture, you may say that the Social Justice students are not 'Mary or Martha' but 'Mary and Martha'. In the Scripture, Mary listened attentively to Jesus but Martha, her sister was more into action, actively doing things, to serve Jesus. As a group, the Social Justice students are 'Mary and Martha', willing to listen and learn from others, and they are active in doing justice as well, justice for all.

Let me conclude this article by thanking the Social Justice Captain of 2010, Carlene Parker who has unceasingly worked hard with her peers to make this year a success. All committed girls in the group, without you we would achieve nothing. We are a team.

Thank you so much. I would like to thank the families of the Social Justice Students who have been generously supporting their daughters, sisters and granddaughters to participate in these year's programs Last but not least, to all members of the College Community, thank you for your support this year.

This year debating at CLC has finished with a flourish . The students from Years 9, 10 and 11 participated in the Debaters Association Victoria, interschool debating competition held at Loyola College, Watsonia . They are to be commended on for their participation and acknowledged for their achievements .

The ability to speak in front of an audience is ohen feared and hard to attain. We admire the courage the girls have displayed throughout the year, fine-tuning their rebuttal skills and shocking the opposition with their talent .

Talent was also seen with our junior debaters from Years 7 and 8. For some of the students it was their first time debating and it was great to see their willingness to try something new. The results spoke for themselves, so well done girls' Debating in 2011 is jam-packed with excitement. 2011 contains more events such as House Debating, Junior Debating, DAV Debating and the annual CLC vs Parade Debate. Will CLC win back the trophy? Nobody knows!

Hopefully we will see you participating and rebutting your way to victory next year.

CLC has once again seen another successful year in the mission life of the College . The year began with an unbelievable effort from the students and teachers in the fundraising and awareness of the Caritas organisation . Each and every student and year level made a valuable and generous contribution. There were cake stalls, concerts and sporting events planned to entice the students to endorse in a range of activities to help those less fortunate. This fundraiser was a huge success within the College and every person's contribution is widely appreciated. The school also received the privilege of hearing guest speaker, Charity, from the Gentle Hands organisation in the Philippines. She inspired us with her stories of her work which placed hope in the hands of under privileged children . The College has seen a huge range of activities, includ ing tutoring programs, fundraisers and awareness programs. Through these activities, the mission life of the College has been active and lively. A tremendous effort has been made by all, and on ce again Catholic Ladies ' College has contributed hugely to the greater community.

Once a student, but forever an alumnl How true this statement is and how wonderful that so many of our former students have enjoyed reconnecting with the College, the friends they first met at school and also some of their teachers. At each reunion there has been a genuine feeling of belonging to a rather special community. The reunions range from meeting back at Currajeen18 months after leaving school and already having a 'story' to share, right through to the SO year reunion at the Park Hyatt which is situated on the former site of CLC East Melbourne. Some former Collegians travelled great distances to be a part of these significant celebrations and the hugs, laughter and

ensuing conversations were a pleasure to witness. These reunions have also enabled the College to extend the database and update contact details which will be particularly important as the College heads towards some significant milestones .

Next year CLC will be celebrating 40 years in Eltham and the following year, 2012, will be the 110 year anniversary of the College. We are certainly hoping to reconnect with many more of our valued former students.

At CLC there is one group of people who work tirelessly to ensure the success and safety of the College - the maintenance staff, a group of men who are endlessly working their hardest to assist the school in whatever ways possible . The CLC community wish to thank Sam Falzo, Peter Perin and Ross McDonald for all their hard work.

This year, for the College production , they worked tirelessly to ad vise and assist with the lighting, backstage technicalities and stage work . In the weeks leading up to the production, they were generous with assembling sets, stairs and lights to make the show look brilliant . For every concert, assembly or public showca se, they are always behind the scenes organizing and preparing in ways no one else could. They are the silent wo rkers behind every Art Exhibition , assembling display boards and lighting and everything else we ask for.

They are always very generous, including helping students by accessing lockers for girls w ho ha ve forgotten their codes, turning on the heaters in classrooms in winter and looking after bikes for the girls who bring them to school. The College is blessed to have them as they have that wonderful ability to always put time aside for others.

Thanks to the maintenance men once again for all their consideration, hard work and care .

~~nior ~ehool Nobody spoke; we were all completely silent contemplating our next move.

It was clear that everyone was on edge, waiting for him to pull the trigger.

So many emotions and pictures flashed before my eyes. Should we run or stay? Then the silence was broken with a deafening sound. Bang!

It angered her. She felt she was being punished without a ca s ~in ally, when the captain glanced at her for a quick moment, her eye m1?t his, and she searched for a glimmer of reassurance. Despite her anger, she was mesmerized by his large dark eyes. Those eyes which had seemed o have charmed her, some time ago.

'How long will you be away for?' she asked, stopping in her tracks . The captain turned to face her for the first time all morn ing. ' Er, I am still fl undecided. I have some matters to attend to in England .' 'Yes, I believe so, but when shall we speak again? ' Hannele persisted. ' I 'll write to you; said the captain calmly.

She stood solemnly, another day going by, caught up in a plethora of hope, long ing and worry. While her mind seemed blank, her heart ached for its other half to return. She passed the mantelpiece of photos becoming tattered with time, and, like a dream , a familiar hand found hers.

The captain 's vagueness intensified Hannele's anger. She felt a flame spark inside her which turned her icy cheeks, warm. 'You think this was all a mistake - don 't you?' she growled . 'What?' he asked, remov ing his hat .'What we did. It was all a mistake. You regret everything, DON 'T yo ?

You feel guilty because now your wife is gone, DON'T you?' said Hannele savagely. 'Not at all.'

She stared apprehensively at the door. New school, new house , new city.

All new, yet exactly the same. She walked through the door, the first step into another new life. People looked at her curiously as she walked by. She smiled her fake smile. Always the same wherever she went.

Ever heard of the War of the Roses? It concerns the rivalry between the House of York and the House of Lancaster (who had respectively a white rose and a red rose on their heraldic emblems) for the kingship and control of England during the fifteenth century.

William Shakespeare's Richard III, is the story of a the evil scheming younger brother of the House of York who kills his way to the top to become for a short time King of England. Richard arranges for the death of one brother and the killing of his two nephews in the Tower of London.

On the 12th of June, the Year 12 Literature Class and Dr. Crowle were delighted and excited to watch the performance of Shakespeare's play by the Melbourne Theatre Company. Ewan Leslie limped around the stage as the hunchbacked yet charismatic Richard III . Though the play was 3 hours long, it seemed to be quite short. The director gave the play a corporate setting that made it relevant to our contemporary world. The language was Elizabethan as expected , however, a "messen ger" was substituted by a mobile phone. The play was a mixture of drama, comedy, crime and mystery that kept everyone in the audience at the edge of their seats until the end of the play. As it was the last matinee that the actors would be perform in g for that play, they manoeuvred their way around the rotating stage flawlessly, so there were no breaks in between scenes to disrupt continuity. Overall, it was a wondrous and relaxing night for the Year 12 Literature Class to rewind after a hard week of studying and exams.

Kaisha Crupi

<El .ti. bawriznciz- Crizativiz Narrnti\liZ 'Thiz Captain's <Doll.'

The next morning, Hannele accompanied the captain to the train station, where he was headed back to England . She had a restless night, for there was much playing on her mind. Hannele did not often dream, however she d id that night. She dreamt of a magnificent lion, so free , running wildly in the depths of the wilderness. And then - the magnificent creature was struck by a tranquil force. When the lion awoke it found itself enclosed, caged. Nobody consoled the scared lion except for one man, w ho caressed the lion ever so gently, comforting it, feed ing it, taking care of it, loving it. He played with it, and taught it tricks. If he believed the lion posed any sort of danger the crack of his whip was enough to set the beast into line.

And so the lion was tamed.

The captain had not yet revealed to her his plans after his wife's funeral.

What the future held, she was unsure of. And this made her restless. ):l nnele did not want to be played. She was adamant to find out upon l\)'n t grounds they now stood. She would not let him play her. Her feelings alt ough clouded, were not to be played with. isp coldness of the morning winter air pinched Hannele's cheeks as lked upon the platform with the captain. The platform was crowded . eople bustling about, loading their luggage onto the train. Hannele c ght sight of a mother calling out to her curious, wandering children to stay near, close to their mother's side and she pondered at the thought of the captain's response, if she were to bid him the same proposal. To not go to England, to stay near.

The ca ptain had hardly spoken a word all morning. He was deep in thought and never cared much for sharing his emotions. In fact, it sickened him.

So he kept to himself, peering down at the ground as he walked, his large hands wedged deep within the pockets of his coat. This frustrated Hannele.

He seemed so consumed, so isolated, so withdrawn and distant.

'Then WHAT>' she roared. 'Why leave, with no further explanation>' 'It's not like that"Don't you think I DESERVE better than that?' A plume of black smoke exerted the train, and clouded above them in all its darkness.

Hannele was sure the captain was playing tricks with her mind. Playing mind games. She could not understand his inability to give her a truthf answer. He would not return to Germany. She was sure of it.

'Yes; said the captain coldly. They stood in silence for quite some time.' don 't know what I'm meant to do,' said Hannele, her long, dark mane blowing in the wind.'Nor do I.' - Another long pause . Hannele felt defeate and powerless. She yearned for the truth. 'Am I meant to wait for you> I that what you want?' ' No ' he replied shortly, gazing into her hungry eyes. ' I have some affa irs to attend to. I 'm sure you can understand, given the circumstances."Y suppose so.' Hannele growled , beneath her breath . 'You must underst I never meant to hurt you.' His words cracked down hard like a whip up Hannele.

'Then why not give me a truthful answer? Is this all but a game to you> I will NOT wait for you to return. I cannot DO that. I will not WAIT for you. I will not be played' said Hannele wild and savagely.

The captain although shocked by her outburst, remained calm. He was determined to not make the same mistake twice, to not be taken hostage again. Just as his wife had done . He would not give in to Hannele. No, he could not. Not again. His wife's death created no means by whic e and Hannele could begin a future together. No, he would NOT give to Hannele . She had the doll , but not him . Nor would she ever have hi Rather, he would have her. He would own her, and have her. The captain took hold of Hannele's cold hands, and clasped them into his own. He spoke ever so calmly, so reasonably, to distinguish this flame which had ignited inside of her.

'You want a truthful answer; however I cannot give you one. Thererf e.J see it in our best interests that I do not give you answer at all, rathe i<I~ you farewell, at least for now.' ) The captain did not feel comfortable discussing such things; howev r he continued to feed Hannele, to tame her nerves and to cease her hu ' I do not believe any mistakes have occurred during the course of our acquaintance. Believe me, my intent was never to cause you any sor 0JD You must understand that my children need their father at this present tim e. I must establish matters regarding the estate. I MUST seek solitude.

In order to do this, I must leave you. I ask that you do not accompany me to England. I must be alone . I NEED to find myself.' () The captain began to feel ill. He had already shared too much emotion\ .,, his liking, and wanted to depart promptly. The problem was not that he didn 't care for her; it was that he cared too much. And he did not want to lose himself to her, just as he lost himself to his wife . He refused to be lost again. He would not lose himself to her.

Another long pause - Hannele felt her rage slowly slip away. He had the ' ability to tame her angst, the ability to calm her. Although she was not pleased with the captain's tricks, she felt a sense of acceptance. There was nothing more she could do. He had not answered her, but she was calm.

So she would leave him, still uncertain about future concerns. She did however know one thing; she would NOT wait for his return.

The jungle which once crowded them upon the platform slowly diminished as the conductor called for all to aboard the train . Hannele watched the captain as he loaded his bags onto the carriage and took his seat beside the window. Hannele knew that the whistling of the train signified the last time she would see the captain. For how long , she was unsure; perhaps she would never see him again. Emptiness struck her. The candle lit flame once glowing hypnotically had blown out completely, exerting no warmth, only emptiness and it marked the end. And there was nothing more she could do. He was leaving her. Hurt and abandoned, to fend for herself in the wilderness. He left alone, to lick her own wounds.

Hannele watched as the train began to move . The captain opened the window, giving Hannele a slight smile and gentle wave.

Slowly, and slowly it went further and further into the distance, and as it went further into the distance Hannele noticed the captain become smaller and smaller - just like the doll.

Y~ar 11 'R~fl~ction Every year level has a dominant culture or personality.

Teachers speak of year levels as if they were one person - "What a great year level!" Jn actual fact ever/ year level has a mix of students - those who excel at sport, those who are academically gifted, those who are able to support their friends in times of need and those who struggle to find direction or meaning in their learning .

This year's year 11, like every year level, has its mix of students but, if there can be an over-riding personal ity to the level, it would be one of enthusiasm. This was probably shown most strongly through the huge number of students who put their names forward for leadership roles for 2011.

It is also shown by the girls who care about their marks passionately, who stand up for sporting events or who put that extra effort into their dresses for the formal.

It is a great pleasure working with a group of young people who care about what they are doing and why they are doing it. I congratulate every girl who has stepped up - from small things like helping to clean up after their friends to those who have stepped out into the " big world " of television competitions, parish groups or charity fundraising. If they can bring such enthusiasm and direction to their year 12 they will know the taste of success.

"OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

It may seem incongruous to find the Yr 12 theme for 2010 in a Dr Seuss children's story but it perfectly captured the combination of optimism, possibilities and personal challenge that year 12 presents to our 2010 Year 12 group.

Dr Seuss words resonated w ith each student when he wrote; "You have brains in your head You have feet in your shoes You can steer yourself Any direction you choose" It ha s been wonderful to see each girl balance the sadness of thei r CLC journey coming to end with the excitement of the choices and possibilities of 2011 and beyond. It has also been heartening to see each student becoming increasingly confident to make their own decisions and increasingly eager to accept the responsibility for making the most of the opportunities open to them to be the best they can be.

During 2010 we have shared many special moments. The Yr 12 formal was a chance for the girls to be together as a whole level and celebrate the friendships and shared memories.

said that an ' army marches on its stomach' so too doe th. class of 2010! A truck load of noodles, toasted sandwiche , biscuits, soup and cakes sustained our 12s over the year.

In amongst this cornucopia of food and hot drinks was the ever present call to prepare for SACs, exams and homework!

The girls learnt a great deal about meeting challenges, coping with stress, time management and the constant re-assessment of options in the light of on-going subject results, sometimes pleasantly above what was hoped for and sometimes not!

In late August- October the filling out of VTAC post secondary course applications brought home the reality that there was not long to go. As each girl returned from her careers interview you could see both the excitement of the new world waiting for them and the pangs of leaving their ' CLC home' for the past six years.

The Graduation Mass and Valedictory Dinner celebrated the formal end of their Year 12 journey. It was a night to remember and celebrate the Year 12 class of 2010 .

As your journey continues remember two things; firstly, always look for ways to grow as a person in the community and , secondly, always find ways to nurture your faith and grow as a person on the inside. Well done, girls, and, on behalf of your homeroom teachers and myself, thank you for your company, trust and great memories .

The Retreat allowed the girls to explore aspects of the lives, views and faith in new and meaningful ways . It also enabled the girls to see that developing their personhood involves learning far beyond just what is needed to get that SAC completed or ATAR score!

All the best.

The Common room was a home away from home. A place to gather, share, celebrate and, sometimes, cry! Napoleon once
