Principal about 2014, my image is one of vibrant, energetic young women, enthused and engaged in learning and living. Your happy faces, friendly conversations and joyful laughter are a delight to observe. I regu larly hear of your diligence and determination, your thoughtfulness shines through in your actions and relationships with others. We have much to be proud of in your individual and collective achievements. This edition of Caritas is testament to the gifts and talents nurtured and shared so generously in the life of Catholic Ladies' College.

Mrs Margaret McKenna Principal

"To walk in the shoes of an other " The 2014 theme has provided our student commun ity with a variety of ways to reflect on who we are and how we can "be" and "reach out to others" in the course of our life. In thinking

College

Th is year we have also remembered and ce lebrated the 175 year anniversary of the Sisters of Charity coming to Australia . In the Sisters of Charity, we have come to love and appreciate their

courageous and com passionate ways, women of "head, heart and hands ". It would be my hope for each and every CLC stu dent that the traits of service, compassion and commitment, guide the w ays each person shares her gifts and talents. The Sisters' stories cross time, yet bind all that is valuable and important in life. We are fortunate in their example to our community.

In acknowledging the gifts within our community, I would particularly thank the Co llege Board of Directors under the Chairmanship of Mr John Slattery. The Board provide wise and prudent stewardship of the Co llege and together with College Staff work to provide the best possible learning environment for all students.

At this time of year, I appreciate that there are many who are finisning their time at Catho lic Ladies' College, be they students, families or staff; I sincerely thank each and every one for your time with us.

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

Congratulations to Mrs Lynn Mason and the Student Magazine Team. Enjoy all that is within this 2014 publication of Caritas.

Maddison Jackson and Meghan Kostas, College Co-Captains

To be Co llege Co -Captains of CLC th is year has been a truly rema rkable honour. We are both so appreciative of the oppo rtunities these positions have given us and realise how p r ivileged we have been at this wonderful College .

Together we have made amazing memories this year: we travelled to Sydney, attended various ceremonies, worked with other year leve ls and teachers, continually developed leadership skills, interacted with other schools'

Thank you to Mrs M cKenna, Mrs Leutchford, Mrs Ba rtelink and Mr Salmic who all supported us and worked with us this year as we carried out our College Co -Captain duties . A n extended thank you must also go to ou r own year leve l, which not on ly believed in us both enough to vote for us as the ir College CoCaptains, but in the support and friendship they have given us over the past six years.

Year 12 is definitely a very challenging year for all, but we are proud to look back on all of our achievements this year and the way we ba lanced everything. Perhaps above al l, we have become best friends with each other and look forward to the many years of

friendship we w ill sha re into the future .

C LC has an amazing ene rgy to it. The Coll ege has becom e a second ho m e to us b oth over the past six yea rs and has al lowed us to discover our t rue selves. We love coming to this school each day and although we are devastated to be leaving and saying goodbye, we know that CLC has prepare d our year level in the best ways possible to embrace their futures. We will always be CLC g irls, we are a part of the unique history here and we wish all the students the best of times for the remainder of their own journeys here .

Leadersh ip Reflectio ns We congratulate our 2014 students for their ongoing commitment to learning and for the many successes of this school year.

Learning and teaching is what we are all about at Catholic Ladies' College; it is our core business. Learning is not always easy, it requires commitment and concentration. Learning is shaped by a variety of factors including prior experiences, culture, interest, learning preferences and support systems. Learning thrives on challenge, imagination and curiosity. Learning does not stop for our students when the bell rings at the end of the day; learning has no boundaries or time limits.

And so once more it is time to say farewell to our year 12 students as they finish off the last few weeks of their years at the College. For most of them, this has been six-year journey and along the way they have made many firm friends and have become very close to the whole community of CLC. They now move into a different phase in their lives but will definitely remember the wonderful events they experienced over the years, especially those of their final year. Perhaps one of the highlights was the Formal in February where each girl participated in an excited and inclusive manner. Over the year different students involved themselves in many different sporting activities, music evenings and cultura l events.

They have listened to a range of speakers who spoke to them about many issues relevant to them at this time in their lives. Now it is time to focus on the exams and prepare for their transitioning out of the College. We wish them well for the next pathway they will take in life .

We prepare our 21st century learners to be life-long creative, connected and collaborative problem solvers.

We encourage our students to be individuals who are curious to learn, not afraid to take risks or to make mistakes and to learn from their experiences.

To teach our students well, we must know them . We need to know how they learn and what motivates them.

current research which come together to enrich the learning outcomes of our students .

We look forward to another rich and exciting year of learning, striving to do the be st we can in 2015!

Ms Tina W ilkinson Learning Leader

As a professional learning community with the student learner at its centre, we bring together the many pieces of the learning puzzle: opportunities for professional growth, contemporary pedagogy, the use of ICT as a tool for learning, data and

For years 11 and 10 the year has also been full of exciting events, with the Year 11 Formal and the Whitefriars' Social taking centre stage. The students at both levels enjoyed listening to many speakers who came in to talk to them about a range of im portant topics, such as the responsibilities associated with driving and learning about caring for themselves.

The senior students of 2014 showed great commitment to the College in a number of areas . They were involved in the College Production where many supported the younger students in a very friendly and generous manner. Many sen ior students assisted in sporting teams, in Debating, Peer Support, musical items, acted as Tour Guides and played an active role in Open Days.

One must not forget the work done by the students in the area of Socia l Justice over the year. These are only a sample of the positive and generous commitment of our senior students.

I would like to take the time to thank all the senior students of 2014 for the ir consistent support of all aspects of College life and their committed approach t o their school work. A special thank you must go to the year level Team Leaders - Mr Frank Salmic, Mr Tony Regan and Ms Tulay Et. The events and incursions that were part of each year level could not have occurred if not for the organisation and commitment of the Team Leader.

Mrs Christina Pascalis Senior Years Leader (Years 10-12)

Year 7 First Day

Those students coming alone from their primary school attended a Pre-Orientation Day session so they too could meet others who were coming to CLC. When reflecting on this gathering, Julia wrote : "Once the session began, I felt very relaxed and enjoyed hearing the stories that the current Year 7s shared with us. Mrs Webster also gave us some valuable tips about meeting new people ."

Carey Webster Transition Coordinator

Starting Secondary School Movi ng from primary to secondary school is often not easy, so at Catholic Ladies' Co llege we have built into our Year 7 program a number of op portunities t o support students through the transition process to ensure they feel a sen se of belonging and con nectedness to the College.

Firs tly, many Grade 6 students we re visited in thei r primary school by a representative from the CLC community a nd they had the o pportunity to hear about the College in more de tai l and ask questions. Grade 6 t eachers also had a chance for a handover meeting about stu dents ' learning, strengths, likes, dislikes and areas for conso lidation .

Building relationships is often the key to a successful transition and this was a focus of our Orientation Day last December. The day included opportunities for the girls to meet their homeroom teacher, other girls in their class, experience a typical Year 7 lesson and it also gave them a chance to meet their Year 10 Peer Support leaders. "I was so relieved that I was in a class with some of the people from my primary school. I enjoyed my first CLC barbeque and my first science lesson with my new classmates," wrote Christine.

had been at the College for 5 years already.

Building up strong partnerships with our families is one of the ways we are able to support students through this time of change . It was terrific to see that so many parents were able to attend the two parent information evenings and th e welcome ba rbeque hosted by the Parents' Association in March of this year.

Peer Support began in week two of the term and was a wonderful opportunity for the Year 7s to get to know girls in other homerooms and to learn from the Year 10 leaders. One of the Peer Support leaders commented that the highlight of being a leader was "getting to know and assisting the Year 7s in whatever way I could.

It was great to be a support

for someone else" . The focus of the Peer Support program this year was belonging and building resilience and it was great to see the Year 7s respond with so much enthusiasm. , By term four I saw how engaged the girls we re in school life and how successfully they made the transition to secondary school. I also observed how proud they were to be part of a school with a long history and tradition.

While change can be difficult for some, I am confident that the programs we have in place at CLC have supported the girls and have given them the best chance of making a positive transition to secondary school.

Carey Webster Transition Coordinator

Th_e first day of school was a highlight for many girls as, after a busy morning of settling into secondary school, the students were teamed up with a Year 12 buddy for some fun, relaxation and a chance to explore the grounds with someone who

Reflections

Mrs Debbie Brock Yea r 7 Team Leader It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since the Year 7s were welcomed to CLC on their first day on 31 January.

Du ring the year so much has taken place and the Year 7s enjoyed many opportunities to celebrate and learn and make lifelong friendships.

After an exciting Day 1, the girls quickly settled into secondary school with a comprehensive transition program which included being welcomed to the first assembly of the year, a Peer Support Program and Activities Week where they dressed up in their Grade 6 uniform. The term ended with a three day camp

11 11

to Camp M anyung at Mount Eliza. Whilst there, the girls participated in many activities including crate climbing, a 'Master Chef' challenge, canoeing, sea kayaking, snorkelling and the giant swing .

Th e activities were undertaken with some famil iar faces from each girl's homeroom, but groups also included girls from a variety of other homerooms which gave everyone the opportunity to make new friends.

A new experience for many girls was spending a night 'under canvas'. For many this was a great adventure, whilst for others it proved to be a little out of their 'comfort zone'; however, all survived and returned with a greater appreciation of their own bed!

During the year, the girl s were fortunate to experience many learning opportunities beyond the classroom . Such activities included the Year 7 and 12 Easter breakfast, Reflection Day, the Tree of Life Program and the Year 7 Eucharist. They also participated in th eir first swimming and athletics House competitions, gymnastics and swimming lessons as part of PE and enjoyed an excursion to the M elbourne Zoo. The Year

7s were also fortunate to listen to a number of guest speakers on a variety of topics including Cybersafety and science careers and they enjoyed a poetry performance by 'Complete Works Theatre Company'.

Additiona lly, it was delightful to see many girls participate in the College production "West Side Story" in a variety of on-stage and backstage roles .

Platania and Alyssa D' Azze na for being excellent Student Leadership Team leaders and extend a special thanks to th e Homeroom Reps: Georg ia Hughes, Ellie Ritter, Ange lina Parkinson, Olivia Lazenka s, Sarah Wise, Abbey Dryburg h and Caitlin Jakubik for the support they have given to their Homeroom and mysel f throughout the year.

It was wonderful to see many of the girls participate throughout the year 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, Chess Club, Social Justice Group, Grace N otes, Year 7 Beginner Band and Tournament of Mi nds. I was delighted to see many girls participate in the lunchtime round robin netball tournament (congratulations to 7C!). Some students took on leadership ro les this year and it has been a joy to watch them fulfil their role either as a House Captain, M agazine Representative, SLT leader or Homeroom Representative .

I especially congratulate Tai

20 14 has been a busy o ne and the girls have had many exciting experiences and created some wonderful and lasting memories. I would like to thank all who contributed t o the successful running of th is year level. In particular, I th ank the Year 7 Homeroom tea chers for their dedicated intera cti on w ith the girls in the ir care .

Throughout the year it has been truly delightful to se e the girls embrace with joy, enthusiasm and commitm ent all of the opportunities t he College offered. The girls can indeed look back on the ir year with much pride and a re al sense of achievement.

Mrs Debbie Brock Year 7 Team Leader

Founder's Day

My First Founder's Day As the babies of the school, Year l's, we had no idea what to expect for our first Founders Day. People told us it would be loads of fun, but to be honest, we weren't sure whether we should believe them or in fact be scared.

When we arrived at school, we had a full school Assembly with gold and white balloons on the stage . We had a special guest speaker, past student Anna

Clarke, who told us about CLC when she was here and her life after leaving school. She was very interesting.

After the Assembly we went to the gym and it was decked out with vibrant balloons in our House colours and it instantly excited us. We all got a huge dose of House spirit and we were ready to have the fun the teachers had promised. We met with our Year 12 buddies and had two periods of sport activities.

To end the already amazing day we had, there was a game show with balloons, streamers and teachers and students competing against each other.

This was a lot of fun to watch, especially Mr Young's 'amazing' dad jokes! Thi s was just the perfect end to an already perfect day!

Reflection The Year 8 students of 2014 should be proud of the ways in which they have embraced the theme "To walk in the shoes of another". A number of our students have been involved in the Social Justice and Environment group as well as the "Love your sister" campaign. As a cohort, they have participated in two High Resolves modules, focusing on the key ideas of Justice and what they can do to help others in the world.

The Year 8s have enjoyed many special programs and events, including: Medieval Day, our High Resolves days, a Brainstorm Productions performance, Science Incursion, Real Talk presentation as part of Religious Education and a very special Mission Day. A key highlight for our Year 8 students has been their participation in the City Experience program. This year has marked the introduction of the restructured City Experience program where the students have had an opportunity to explore the City through a variety of

16

1

specialised "trails" and a chosen "Special Experience" ranging from a Street Art walking tour to a visit to Rod Laver Arena. They have used their iPads to help document their experiences via various apps and blogging tools .

Upon their return, they have worked within their groups to prepare a presentation in relation to their chosen scenario to present to their families on Presentation Night.

Camp at Lake Dewar was once again a huge hit. With over 200 students in Year 8 this year, four large buses ferried them to Myrniong where we spent three days in the glorious sun, participating in a range of outdoor activities from Adventure Tunnell ing to Geocaching . Our first evening was filled with laugher as the entire cohort participated in Costume Capers complete with a catwalk and very serious critiques from our special judges.

Many students demonstrated outstanding leadership and College spirit by acting as Homeroom Representatives, SLT Representatives, Magazine

Team representatives and High Resolve Leaders . A large number of the Year 8 stud ents have also been members of the various co-curricular groups and sporting teams and have been invo lved in our College Production of 'West Side Story'.

I would like to thank the Homeroom teachers who have guided the Year 8s during the year; Ms Tina Wilkinson, Mr Vincent Lam, Mrs Martina Abrahams, Ms Janet Twidgen , Mrs Debbie Willoughby, Mrs Susan Maher, Mrs Helen Paraskevopoulos, Mrs Marisa Tsoukatos Ms Lucy Jongebloed and Mrs Narelle Barbieri My heartfelt best wishes go out to the students in Year 8 as they continue their journey here at Catholic Ladies' College. They are young women of kindness an d compassion who will no doubt go on to leave their mark o n the world.

Young Journalist Award

'Jaryd Clifford. the boy wb r·i.r Jaryd Clifford, a young boy of just fourteen years of age, runs along his locals trails, pounding the pavement in an effortless motion. He socialises amongst the group talking about every day events, Miami Lakers recent loss, Maths tests and the previous cross country race.

An outsider looking in would have no idea that Jaryd is, legally blind.

This story starts from humble beginnings, the local athletics track to be exact.

Jaryd was twelve-years-of-age, running the 800m at Little Athletics Region. The U13 athlete was, as he personally quoted, 'smashing it' . Disaster then struck. As he approached a turn on the track, he stumbled, fa lling over onto the inside of the track, collapsing in a heap and ultimately ending his quest for state gold in the 2012 Athletics season. He was, as expected, shattered. The entire year's training had come to nothing; all the hard work and relentless approach would have no benefit. Or so he thought.

18

What Jaryd and those around him thought was just bad eyesight, turned out to be a worsening condition that robbed him of his direct line of vision. This forced Jaryd to pursue other options, he assumed his entire goal of competing for Australia in professional sport had come to an end, until one fortunate concept came into play.

Jaryd's form of macular degeneration classified him as T12, legally blind.

Not letting this heartbreaking diagnosis bring him down, Jaryd didn't miss a beat and immediately turned his ambitions to Paralympic go ld in Rio 20 16.

Over the past twenty-four months, I personally, have witnessed Jaryd train to his absolute limit. Every training session Jaryd will constant ly better his best and never let anything get the better of him.

This relentless and unforgiving approach to training has seen Jaryd take second after second off his personal bests. Over the space of just one year, Jaryd has gone from being what seemed like miles off the qualifying times for Rio 2016, to mere seconds .

However, Jaryd does not just have his goals set on qualifying for Rio, he wants to win! Every session, every run, every one of the young athletes day to day moves are now geared towards that alluring Paralympic gold.

The up and coming world championships, to be held in Oatar in November 2015, are fast approaching . Jaryd knows he has a deadline to reach and he is determined to get there .

Before the interview comes to a close, I ask Jaryd one last question. ' In one sentence, tell me, how will you make it to Rio? ' 'Train hard ' he replies, with a cheeky smile on his face. On that note he exits the club rooms at Willinda Park track to complete another set of 60m strides., Person Interviewed: Jaryd Clifford Eliza Clarke 80

J unior Writing Young Journalist A ward "<irr el Jchnson's Story " I have something to tell you," Connie said to her brother.

Sa m had done this before, sitting down and talking. Once when Connie was 11 and once when she was 22. Now she was 33 and he didn't like whe re she was going. Connie didn't know how to say th is.

Connie answered Sam easily. " I don't want anyone to have to say goodbye, like I have to ."

"How can we make people more aware?" Sam asked .

Connie didn't know.

"You have to get on your unicycle" "Okay, I wi ll," Sam rep lied.

" I have breast cancer, and it's terminal."

At this moment the charity, "Love Your Sister", was born.

" No! "

It took three years of hard work, preparation and support, Sam was finally ready. He would ride his unicycle around Australia to raise one million dollars for breast cancer research.

A few difficult weeks passed an d Sam was at Connie's house. " It's going to be really hard, sayi ng goodbye" Connie said wh ile looking at her boys playi ng. " Conni e, what do you want yo ur legacy to be?"

The day Sam was leaving, he didn't want to say goodbye .

Connie wasn 't improving, she was getting worse. There was a huge launch at Federation Square; Sam's heart was

be atin g so fast thinking about his sister not standing next to him when he returned. Sam stepped onto his unicycle and said his final goodbyes to Connie and the large crowd .

As he was leaving Connie yelled out, "I will be here when you get back".

Sam rode up steep hills and even in the middle of the desert in 40 degree heat. He was tired, wanting to g ive up, but he kept pushing because he knew that Connie was in more pain. He hoped that Connie would be there at the end of his one year journey.

Every pedal he took brought him closer to Connie.

Some days people thought Connie may never get up again but Connie was willing to fight, she wasn't ready to say goodbye.

Finally the year was over and Sam had done it. He raised o ver one million dollars, he

broke a world record, he made people aware of breast cancer, but more importantly he got to see Connie again. Holding Connie in his arms for one more time was all he needed to know it was worth it.

Connie is still alive and knows Sam will always be by her side.

The doctors said Connie had three months to live, but she has lived for th ree years. When she dies her legacy will live on thanks to Samuel Johnson.

Sam is my inspiration and I hope to be like him one day.

I want to have morals and values like him. He didn't think of himself, he thought of his sister and all the people who are facing this horrible disease now and in the future. If I can be half the person Sam is, I will be the happiest person in the who le world.

Junior Writing Yellow

Trees are peaceful, giving the earth the smel l of fresh air.

The whistling trees howl all th rough the day and night.

Peacefu ll y send ing the chi ld ren to sleep .

Good night. good night they say .

Yellow is the bright sun in the sky And the glistening stars flickering in the gloomy night.

It is the scorching sand burn ing my toes But what will it lead to?

Yellow is golden spring daffodils scattered in a field And sunflowers standing upright with pride.

Yellow is a juicy pineapple laid on my table And a sour lemon making my mouth twisted .

It is a baby duckling 's fuzzy fur And the colour of a canary chirping on a sunny day.

After a long car ride from Amman, Jordan to Baghdad, Iraq, I had been woken up

by Mum telling me that we were there.

She had been going on about how the last t ime she saw Iraq was when it was beautiful and she loved it; it was where she had grown up and it was time for her to sell her old house that she spent most of her life growing up in . I wouldn't say my expectations were high but I surely was not expecting what I saw. Electricity cables had fallen on the floor, the ground was all dry, there was dust and dirt everywhere.

I was so shocked, I couldn't believe that was where my "real home" was; it was the country that I had always been proud of when saying I was from there , and there it was, nothing but old houses and polluted air. I looked at my Mum and saw that we were all being greeted by Mum's co usins and her aunt. I was greeted with warm smiles and bone crushing hugs. I had never felt that way before; I felt a sense of co mfort .

Th ese people were complete strangers to me . I had never met t hem in my whole enti re life and yet they treated me like one of their sisters . That night they made us amazing meals and even when the electricity was cutting off they would do

20

Yel low is bright, joyful and it fills me with warmth and makes me smile.

their best to keep us cool as it was boiling hot and the temperature would reach forty five to fifty degrees every day. I met amazing people and all of them seemed to treat me with so much respect. I felt like I was finally home. All my life I had felt like I had been missing a part of me and meeting these people made me realise they were what I had been missing all these years; they were what made me feel incomplete .

I became closer to all of my cousins and second cousins every day. I made best friends and I couldn't have been happier.

But there are always downsides to th ings.

Although the weather was boil ing, I was still expected to wear very conservative clothing . I had to speak Arabic to every single person I met and it could be hard sometimes. I saw things that I can never un-see, from sick children to homeless people on every street. People live in fear of having their children or parents taken away every single day or having their area bombed. Yet all these people managed to smile every day, they managed to feed us every day and provide a place to sleep no matter how little money they had. I saw a different side to the world, I heard stories about children's parents being killed every

d ay while taking their children to schoo l.

I heard questions like 'what does it feel like to walk out of the house every day knowing that everything will be okay?' M y seven year old cousin Hassan and I were talking and I told him about how he had the same name as my dad and he asked me what it felt like to have a dad as his dad past away when he was five when the army pulled him out of his car and killed him in front of his family, instead of answering his question I changed the subject and promised that the ne xt t ime I would come and visit I would bring him an iPod so he could Skype me whenever he wanted.

This made me realise how blessed I was t o be living in a country where everyth ing is easy to get, I went to an amazing school and I woke up every morning in a beautiful home where I had everything I needed .

That trip changed me forever and there isn't a day where I don't think about my cousin Hassan and all of my family there .

Watching the news everyday breaks my heart, seeing the country that my family is living in is being ruined and I can 't do anything but sit, watch and pray.

Performing Arts Capta in Kara Moss

Dance Leader Harley-Rose Platania

Music Leader Lauren Foster

Mr Fred Leduc Music Manger

Mrs Michelle Johns Music Coordinator

This year I was lucky enough to be Performing Arts Captain, a role that meant a lot more to me than just a badge. The amazing facilities that came at the end of 2012, which included: a fully equipped recording studio, two performing rooms with stages and tutorial rooms have allowed new music programs which have enabled students to complete their VET Music Certificate Ill and half of VET Music Certificate IV. Former student and close friend of mine Georgia Pitts now plays in a three piece band. I asked her if the course she was doing at uni. was challenging. She told me that compared to the knowledge she learnt last year, the course was a breeze. The course has given so much more than just school-based knowledge and has given the music girls the opportunity to create their own bands and write and produce their own songs. Furthermore, the girls were then encouraged to expand their industry knowledge into the music scene in Melbourne and organise their own gigs.

Contemporary bands Kid Sidney, Children of Indigo, Lipstuck and Haywire have competed in a number of music festivals at iconic venues in Melbourne. Kid Sidney won the 2014 Jets Start competition and recorded their original song 'Cold Nothing ', and then in May we filmed a first music video for it.

Along with the band success, solo artists are also doing their thing with students like Year 1O's Hannah Wales playing gigs around markets in Melbourne, with just herself and her guitar playing some sweet tunes.

The school production "West Side Story " showcased the amazing talents of the students across all year levels. Year 12's Victoria Thompson co-directing the show and dancers doing the choreography highlighted just how much involvement the students have in productions.

My time at CLC is almost ending and I think back to when I first came into

28

the music program as shy as ever, I never thought that three years on I would be in my own band, playing songs we had written ourselves and performing all around Melbourne.

Down in the music rooms some amazing stuff is going on and the talent of the girls at CLC is shining through. How fortunate we are to be given the opportunities we have to explore our music. Being able to play at Assemblies, Founder's Days, Music Nights, it has really given so many girls, including myself, the confidence to go out and pursue what we love to do. It makes me very very proud to have come from CLC. Kara Moss Performing Arts Captain

Music 2014 has been a huge year of music presenting many performances in and around the community and inner city Melbourne. Students enjoyed VET Music Certificate IV for the first t ime this year and organised a Queensland Music Tour.

They also helped organise music performances, accommodation and transport of our bands: Sen ior Band, Children of Indigo, Kid Sidney and Junk Band . All involved had a wonderful experience at this and many other events this year.

VET Music and Co-curricular Contemporary bands entertaining at the International Women's Day celebration and vocal group Gracenotes were part of the choir

with Georgina White playing so lo trumpet at the 175th Anniversary celebration of the Sisters of Charit y Mass held at St Patrick's Cathedral.

Music Camp involved all co-curricula r bands and was followed by the Semester One Music evening concert which was a great success with the 2014 Junior Band making their debut performance. VET Music student and Music Leader Lauren Foster organised a fundraiser lunchtime music concert at Melbourne's Southbank Boulevard which raised funds for the Cambodian victims of human trafficking.

Our ensembles performed at man y local primary schools and other community and outside events included: the Wattle Festival in Hurtsbridge, the Croxton Park Hotel Gig night, Beginner Band Bash night at Blackburn High School, The Espy, The Boogie Man Bar and the Eureka Hotel. Our Col lege was entertained by the many lunchtime concerts held throughout the year by ou r VET music students. Performing Arts Night, Vocal Night and Junior Band Night were held in the later end of the year.

Big congratulations to the music students and staff, Performing Arts Assistant and all the people involved in making these events so successful. All have truly made the Music Key Learning Area a fun and enjoyable learning environment.

Just what does happen in your daughter's D rama classes?

It is well known that Drama is encouraged for students intending to pursue a broad range of careers, from law to medicine, management and politics . So why would budding academics benefit from putting on costumes and stepping into someone else's shoes?

D rama is an art form that explores human conflict and tension. Drama has an emotional and intellectual impact on both the participants and audience members. It holds up a mirror for us to examine ourselves, deepening our understanding of human motivation and behaviour.

It broadens our perspective through stories that portray life from different points of view, cultures and time periods.

34

Specifical ly, Drama classes facilitate the student's physical, social emotional and cognitive development. It is designed to: increase awareness of self (mind, body and voice) and others (collaboration and empathy) Improve clarity and creativity in communication of verbal and nonverbal ideas Deepen understanding of human behaviour, motivation, diversity, culture and history.

Year 8 students explore improvisation and creating stories from stimuli such as art works, stories or music.

Games are played to develop confidence in performing, teamwork and resilience. All students actively participate in collaboration, brainstorming, rehearsing, performing and critically assessing student work.

In Year 9 the focus is on character development, exploring different types of characterisation and creating characters very different from ourselves. Students work with scripts from a variety of cultures, points of view and time periods to develop performances by applying their characterisation and stagecraft skills.

Year 10 marks the beg inning of more applied study examining theatrical conventions of different styles of theatre.

Through creating d ramatic works from a variety of social and historica l contexts, students develop their understanding of the role of t heatre to convey meaning. They discover that theatre is the oldest form of education and sti ll one of the most effective ways of inspiring people to be compassionate and develop a deeper understanding of humanity.

In VCE Drama, the focu s is shifted to the creation of new works. Students further the ir understanding of conventi ons of a variety of theatrica l fo rms and apply that understand ing to develop ensemble and solo performance . Performan ces are inspired by historical, pol it ical events or people, as well as f ictional characters. Students must develop a performan ce with a strong narrative and clear message with political re levance to our society.

Drama is the oldest form of education and still on e of th e most effective.

Reflections

M r Brian Pea rce Yea r 9 Tea m Lea d er

Stepping out of the Year 9 Team Leader role after five years, I can remember in my first week of the job wondering how I would last five weeks, let alone five years. There have been a few headaches, a few heartaches and much joy and fun along the way. I will share some thoughts on the nature of the role, on the environment here at CLC and the changes I have noticed in the nature of t he Year 9 girls over my time as Team Leader.

Firstly, I must say that I have found the environment at CLC one of great mutual respect betw een the College, the girls, the staff and the parents. It is a great place to come to work each day, not because it is easy but because it is satisfying and worthwhile. The girls are ove rwhelmingly aware of the privileged positions they are in compared to most of the rest of the worl d and they are genuinely prepared to work wit h us to give themselves the best opportunities in life.

To me, the Year 9s are at a great stage of life.

They are old enough and capable enough to ma nage t hemselves in many things and they enjoy a new-found, if still limited, independence. They have a sense of humour and a sense of the vast possi bilities of life that makes them enjoyable and vibrant to be around. They are usually very clear abou t how the rest of the world should change and adapt to their expectations and priorities.

One t hing I have noticed, worryingly, over the co urse of the five yea rs is a rise in anxiety am ongst the girls. Sometimes it is temporary, sometimes more chronic and debilitating but it strang ely has seemed to go hand-in-hand with a rise in the level of compliance and co-operation among st the cohort. it seems to be a society-wide phenomena and it is cert ainly something that we are m onitoring and seeking to proactively address in the near future.

Lastly, the role itself is a balancing act between being a strict enforcer of the rules of the Col lege, a monitor of the attendance, health, wellbeing and p rogress of the students, a source of advice (and ma ybe even a bit of wisdom here and there) and a comforting and encouraging presence to help t he girls grow through this stage of their lives.

I woul d like to thank the Year 9 home room teachers Dawn Duncan, Josie Loughman , Damian Brasier, Caroline Bailey, Caterina Bartelink and Lynette Molloy for the help and support they have given me and the care they have shown for the gi rls this year. I would also like to thank the pa rents of our Year 9s for their support of me and the College. It has been a great privilege and a joy work ing with you all in this role.

Mission Team

There are many things about our College and the community in it for which we can be g rateful: the beautiful g rounds, t he happy feel that you often experience amongst any level of students, the lovely art on d isplay, music to be heard, th e vibrance of new learning, ca maraderie and caring amongst the staff.

There are also gifts that have sha ped us, especially the wisdom of our Founder, Mary Aike nhead. Because it spoke to her heart and spirit, she chose for her order to fol low the spirituality of Saint Ignatius Loyola and my favourite element of that brings me joy every single day. Mary co uld very easily "find God in all things" and, learning and wo rking alongside the Charity Sisters, that has become my quest too.

As I w alk through each day at CLC, I find God everywhere I g o, if I'm open to the Spirit.

In 2014, God has been in: the fee ling of community at the Opening Mass; the exuberance of a student running on a trea dmill; in the band music that touches hearts; in the sheer poetry of mathematics;

the delicious "aha" mom ent of a concept final ly grasped; the buzz of lunch-time laughter; the generosity of our student leaders; the hard wo rk of all ou r support staff; the cherishing of friends for each other; the feeling of solidarity with those margina lised in the Social Justice, M ission and Reconciliation groups; the empathy and care shown by the counsellors; the lateral t hinking in meetings of the College leaders; the special reflections at staff briefings and towards me personally, in the kindness of strangers.

In this 175th anniversary year of the Sisters of Charity arriving in A ustra lia we are thankful to Mary Ai kenhead and grat eful for the sacredness we experience in the dai ly life of our College. Re li gious Education classes are an important way to share and learn our Christian beliefs and stories and it is in the mindfu lness of our everyday lives that those stories can come to life.

2014 has been a very productive year for the Social Justice and Environment Group. With the addition o f the environment as part of o ur portfolio and two. new staff leaders, Miss Nicholls and Mr O 'S ullivan, this year was a great time to try new th ings and expand ongoing initiatives.

days . The maj ority of students were quick to support this initiative by returning the ir cans and slips to receive a SO<t refund . We are thankful to the Parents' Association for their ongoing support. We also had a productive time working with the Reconciliation Group on Clean Up Australia Day. All students were very enthusiastic and after cleaning up Andrew Park and its surroundings we had eight large bags of rubbish .

In Term One, w e began working w ith VCAL to expand the recycling of cans on BBQ

42

&

During Term Two we began our refugee focus by attending St Monica's for a Social Justice day and we also went to the Bahay Tuluyan excursion.

Students then decided to put pen to paper by writing letters to the Minister for Immigration about Australia's treatment of refugees and asylum seekers.

Later in the term we began a new focus - homelessness in Australia - and the whole CLC community generously contributed to our St Vinnies food drive. We also had a guest speaker who is a volunteer from St Vinnies speak to us about his experiences volunteering on the soup van in the city.

In Term Three we held a very successful 'Be the Change Day' . This involved the Social Justice and Environment, Reconci liation and Kenya Immersion Groups, as well as the Student Leadership Team, working together to raise funds for St Vinnies. During the week

all Religious Education classes participated in a 'social justice begins at home' activity and then the community came together by purcha si ng cakes at our cake stalls and sausages from our sausage sizzle. It was excellent that the wh ole community worked togeth er to run a successful day.

We would like thank Miss Nicholls and Mr O'Sulliva n for their hard work and dedication towards the group. Also, a final thank you to the whole CLC community for their support and encouragement throug hout the year. We have thoro ughly enjoyed and feel extremely privileged to have been CLC's Social Justice and Environment Group captains for 2014.

RECONCILIATION REFLECTIO N

- Walking the Talk Re conciliation is something we work towards, strive, and aim for. But each time we t hink we are close, we find that we are just another few steps behind . Why is this?

I t hink the theme this year for Reconci liation Week wa s a perfect answer to th is question.

Wa lk th e talk.

O ur Reconciliation Group tried our best to com bine several sma ll actions that our grou p committed to, into bigger movements t hat cou ld make a difference to people who need it. We spread t he message by communicating with the rest of the g irls at our school. We wa lk the ta lk, we show t hem t hat what we are doing isn't just wo rds coming out of our mouths, it's actions that we wi llingly take to make something hap pen .

Our reconci liation g roup has definitely grown in numbers and co nsists of excited, passionate girls, eager to make a cha nge .

I think we've all realised t hat unl ess we get involved , nothing w ill change. So among the many t hings w e did to try and achieve this change was com memorating Reconciliation Week, holding a sausa ge si zzle and choco late sa les to raise fun ds for Opening the Doors Foundation an d the Abo riginal Literacy Foundation.

We participated in the Nillumbik Flag Raising Ceremony and even our very own Aboriginal Art Show, featuring artworks of our Year 7 students w ho have also interpreted the theme, Walk t he t alk.

This yea r was special t o us as we remembered why we are doing al l of th is.

Why we need to keep up the work that we are doing so that in the long run it doesn 't just fade away. We need to ach ieve reconci liation between all Austra lians. And we wi ll. We don't just plan these things, we do them, because we wa lk the talk , and would encourage all of you to do the same.

Aboriginal Community Connections Experience 2014

Mrs Judy Haberman

Mrs Lynn Mason ACCE Cordinator

Kakadu National Park proved to be a stunning background for our first visit to meet the students of the West Arnhem Girls' Acad emy at Jabiru College, Northern Territory. The opportunity for our students to connect with aboriginal girls their own age was an extraordinary experience.

"From this wonderful immersion experience I have taken away with me the great gift of an inner, deep listening quiet and sti ll awareness Dadirri 46

It's ok to be silent, to listen, to reflect. In fact I believe that this has been the most important thing that the aboriginal people of Arnhem Land have taught us. Indeed, we were the students. We are all called upon at some stage to be the story tellers of our time and what we recall and tell our future generations is very important and we need to get this right.

The journey that we undertook has been an awakening of this

responsibility that we all have.

It has reinforced how important it is to teach our young minds the real value of life and all its beauty. To teach forgiveness and to know what that really means is a true gift.

We have had the opportunity to learn how best to do this from walking in the shoes of our aboriginal friends and immersing ourselves into their culture as best we could in a short time. We had the privilege to share this experience with our wonderful

students. I will always remember and be grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow in a life giving spirit."

Community Service

Yea r 10 student s give their t ime an d generosity, working in a p rogram which allows them the opportunity to experience and give back to the community, recognising partnerships in the wi der community.

Yo ung people are to overcome the ir individualism and d iscover in the light of faith, their specific vocation to live responsibly in a community with others. (The Catholic School: Pa ge 28) I participated in Community Service at Glenroy Specialist School and really enjoyed it.

I worked in a class of eight students, ranging from about 5-9 years old. At the start, I felt a bit overwhelmed and found it quite co nfronting seeing all the young ch ildren in wh.eelchairs, most

of whom can't speak and some can 't even hear, see or move.

Yet as the week has progressed I settled in more and fe lt more comfortable working with the ch ildren . We were involved in activities such as matching colours and numbers, learning the alphabet, playing games such as throwing beanbags onto a target and lots of reading.

Once a week the students also had an art or music lesson as well as a physical session where some of the children ride specialised bikes and others practise wa lking, bending down and standing up. At lunchtimes the children get taken outside where we cou ld play with them and some of them were able to come out of their wheelchairs. After spending a week at the school, I got to know a few students

really well and the fact that they were always happy and smiling made me realise how much I take for granted. I had a great week on Community Service and I now understand what life and school is like for children who are differently abled.

Clau d ia Sharples 1 OE

For Community Service, I went to CERES Community Environment Park, in Brunswick.

The week was one of the most enjoyable I have ever experienced; it had many challenges but the positives easily outweighed any negative.

One of the most daunting parts was travelling on public transport but keeping a cool head and thinking things through made everything easier. At CERES we performed

many different tasks, these included: mulching, weeding, designing signs and displays, helping with school groups and other comm unal tasks . This place was amazing to work at because it is easy to see how it helps the community. CERES has community gardens and community chickens which certain members of the public take care of. It also offers the community a green place to relax and enjoy a bite to eat or drink at the cafe. It also has a market and a shop where you can buy locally grown fruit an d vegetables. I really enjoyed the week because of the fun I had and the opportunity to do my part for the community as a volunteer.

Year 10 Reflection

~HAYDiOA Year 10 has been a great chance to figure out what we want to achieve in the future.

The Year 10 girls have really applied themselves to helping others, fundraising for Project Compassion, St Vincent De Paul Society, the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and our Sister School in Kenya. Another fundraiser I became involved in was the World's Greatest Shave, where I dyed my hair blue to raise over $700 for the Leukaemia Foundation. I would like t o t hank all of those who helped me reach my goal. Many Year 10 girls also went to St Pius X School, to assist the children there with their reading skills and other activities.

54

An extremely important process we completed was our subject selections for 2015. This proved to be challenging for most of us with so many choices and options. However, with the interviews and an information evening we all managed to make informed choices for our subjects. I know that now we are all feeling prepared and ready for the challenge of VCE next year.

Vanessa Plumb Year 10 Homeroom Representative Year 10 has been a wonderful year full of fun, surprises and experiences whilst gaining new friendships and memories. The

Year 10 level as a collective has been the main motivation to work hard and enjoy every second.

We started the year participating in Community Service. The week gave us all a new perspective on what happens in the outside world. We all came back with different stories to tell and new skills to share, but there was a common feeling between us all of satisfaction, a feeling that we had all helped out where assistance was required. The week was one we'll all cherish and continue to put time and thought into activities, whether they be big or small, to give back and help those who are less

fortunate than us. Another significant achievement was Project Compassion. The enthusiasm within the year level was high and everyone participated to raise over a thousand dollars to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity around the world.

2014 saw everyone take up the opportunities t hat were given throughout the year.

Year 10 will be one we won 't forget and be something to live up to over the next couple of years.

Mathematics

Mrs Al ison Pha roa h Mathemat ics KLA Tea m Lead er

Through maths we help our students to understand the world.

We challenge them to think outside the square, to persist and give it a go and not to be afraid of making mistakes. We he lp them build a too lbox of skills they can apply in different ways. Every time they follow a recipe, make a skirt or budget for a new iPhone they use mathematics.

Working mathematically on non-routine problems is one of the most challenging aspects of secondary school mathematics.

However, the students are given lots of practice applying their skills to differe nt problems. This year, Year 7 students problem solved from a Task Centre of over 100 problems. These problems invited students to work like a mathematician.

Visual, hands-on and explored with a partner, the tasks could be solved using various strategies.

There were often many paths to the correct solution .

The students enjoyed the variety and the fact they had to explore and develop their own strategies using their preferred learning styles.

Mr Wayne Simmonds One exciting unit of work the Year 8s enjoyed was called the Melbourne Urban Land Investigation (MULi).

This was a new and engaging way to teach Measurement, Geometry and Statistics, enabling students to research and explore the population and geography of their local area.

These areas of mathematics are critical to the capabilities of Year 8 students, but too often students can find the concepts hard to grasp or uninteresting.

56

As a national debate on how to get young people more interested in science and mathematics continues, we are using technology and the application of mathematics to relevant local issues to excite our students about their studies and in turn improve their engagement and learning outcomes. Mr David Young Through stories we help our students understand and remember important facts and skills.

Theta is a Year 9 student. She has a friend called Jason and has a pet hippopotamus. One day, Theta decides to go for a walk with the hippopotamus.

She puts the hippo on a leash and holds the leash in one hand.

Suddenly, J ason turns up at her door and grabs hold of Theta's other hand .

Visualise this scenario: we have Theta in between Jason and the pet hippo. And that's exactly

what I want the students to remember. Yes this is a fictional story that plays on similar sounding words. "Jason" represents the "adjacent" while the "pet hippo" represents the "hypotenuse". Mr Vincent Lam An important aspect of Year 10 Mathematics is the Step Ahead Numeracy Program which allows students to learn in an experiential way, to develop ski lls in an engaging and meaningful manner. Revolving around the themes of fashion and food respectively, each student designed an article of clothing based on a rectangle.

Making a pattern to scale, the students then calculated the amount of material required, which in turn enabled them to work out the cost to purc hase it. The process cu lminated in the making and modelling of the garments, requiring them to again calculate amounts required and costs associated with an afternoon tea for their invited guests. Dr Carmel Laffan

VCE Mathematics is diffe rent from Mathematics at years 7 to 10. There are deadl ines, Outcomes, SAC's, CAS, Calculators and Exams . Whi lst much support is given to our girls in VCE Mathematics, they are also encouraged to ta ke more responsibility for the ir own learning. Maths Help is offered regularly and students are encouraged to attend and seek assistance . The gi rls have worked hard to complete courses in Term 3 and Term 4 will all be about preparing for t heir exams in November.

It's been a busy year in maths and I'd like to thank the dedicated team of teachers who work tirelessly to support th e students and continue to find new and exciting ways to teach maths at CLC. Mrs Alison Pharoah Mathematics KLA Tea m Leader

Science

Science Iman Taylor Science Is Flourishing at CLC

Dr Dawn Duncan Science KLA Team Leader

is really fascinating to learn about my genetic makeup and how chemistry is everywhere in life.

With two fantastic newly refurbished laboratories at the start of 2014, Science at CLC got off to a great start! The new benches and equipment, together with the great colour scheme, gave a positive and enthusiastic lift to any experiment. Not only do we have new laboratories but we also started the year with a very generous grant from the CEO to support an exciting new "Budding Biochemists" program to study biotechnology. This program (initiated by OLM.C in Heidleberg) will equip our students with some of the know ledge and practical skills essential in scientific research.

I really enjoyed working with different types of science equipment like the Bunsen burner.

I also enjoyed completing experiments - it was something I hadn't done before.

Here are some of the comments from our future young scientists about their learning at CLC.

I enjoy Science because we learn about why things happen the way they do.

Year 10 In Year 10 Science I have thoroughly enjoyed the Genetics and Chemistry Units because it

Physics is different and very interesting.

Year 8 I like Science because it is fun doing experiments and writing pracs .

Science gets my brain thinking.

English

Teamwork is essential for a Faculty to operate successfully.

In the English Faculty at Catholic Ladies' College regular year level team meetings where there is a real sharing of resources, ideas and expertise have been vital in the continuing process of striving for best practice English teaching.

Dr Ch ri stine Crowle English KLA Team Leader (Years 10- 12)

M iss Samantha Duncan English KLA Tea m Le ade r (Years 7-9)

English speaks to the whole person and acknowledges the different learning styles of the individual. It also recognises the connection between the classroom and the world beyond and to foster such connections a number of initiatives have been undertaken this year.

To celebrate National Book Week in August, author Fiona Wood was invited to conduct a writing workshop with selected Year 9 students and in the afternoon she addressed the whole year level. Fiona

was impressed by the writing skills of CLC students, their enthusiasm and thoughtful questions.

During National Book Week students were also treated to a number of performances by the Complete W orks 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. And poetry was a focus for junior students in the classroom during this time.

Participation in the Melbourne W r iters' Festival was also a feature of our calendar this year. Fifty-five students

from Years 8- 10 had the opportunity to engag e with a number of wr ite rs including Demet Divaroren, A nna Pajalic, Alice Pung , Fi ona Scott-Norman, Cath Crowley, Penny Tangey and Cla ire Zorn .

Engagement is fundamen ta l to good teaching and English actively supports key interdisciplinary progra ms, su ch as City Experience in Year 8, which strive to make lea rning self-directed and enga ged.

The Faculty wishes to acknowledge the supp ort of the College's Leadership Team , the dedication of our Individual Learn ing t eam and the expertise and assistance of the Resource Centre Staff in our pursuit of co ntinuous improvement.

Humanities Humanities is the st udy of human society and th e ways in whic h p eople organise th ei r worlds, past , p resent and future: where, how and why.

In our Humanities cla sses we: • Look at the way p eople organise t heir lives and make decisions.

• Provide a forum where t he most d ifficult problems facing human lives can be examined.

• Become well round ed students- being able to understand ourselves and the world in whic h we live.

• Develop universal skills t hat are appl icable to the fu ll range of occupations and are in great demand by employers.

Humanities teaches people to have : - knowledge about the world - flexibility of thought - the ability to work in teams, co-operatively

- the ability to interpret, analyse and synthesise data - the thinking skills to contribute to the identification, prediction, ana lysis and solving of problems - the ability to present information using ICT skills A key learning tool in Humanities is the use of incursions and excursions . The fo llowing is a list of the experiences that have been afforded to our students t hrough their study of Humanities in 20 14: Year 7 Zoo Excursion Year 8 City Experience Year 8 Medieval Day Incursion Year 9 Sovereign Hill Excursion Year 9 WW1 Incursion Year 10 Shrine, Immigration M useum and Coastal Environments Excursions Year 10 Viet nam W ar Incursion and elect ive Courts Visit

Year 11 Geography - Otways Experience and Docklands Excursion Year 11 Legal Studies - Barwon Prison Excursion Year 12 Geography - Murray Darl ing Experience and Cape Woolamai Study Our excursions and incursions provide o ur students w ith an opportunity to enhance their knowledge of the topics being studied in class and help to enrich thei r learning experience .

Our studen t s have said the following : Yea r 10 Courts Excu rs ion

"Walking into th e Heidelbe rg Law Courts was a little da unting. Visit ing a Magistrat es Court was something I had not done before but was ve ry int erested in and I was looking fo rward t o what might un fo ld while I was there."

Brigitte Sierak (1 OD) Year 9 Sovere ign Hill Excursion

The most inte resting part of th e day was g oing in th e mines because it was really diffe re nt and something I had never done before .

Clare Zammit (9E)

I looked forward to the mine tour all day and it was worth it, I LOVED IT. I thoroughly enjoyed th e whole So vereign Hill experience and found it so interesting and wonderful.

Lauren Farrelly (9E) Yea r 10 Shrine Excursion

On 1 August, all Year 10 classes were fortun ate enough to be given an experience which has helpe d shape our unders tanding o f th e history o f A ustralia as a nation. Overall, d espite it being a very cold and wet day, this excursion was quite enjoyable. The knowle dge that we gained helped us to consolidate th e work that we have be en d oing in our Humanities classes, and the sole m n experience of visiting th e Shrin e was invaluable.

Jacinta W est & Zoe Ath anit is (1 OF) Year 8 M edieval Day Incursion

It was a fun filled d ay where we d ressed up in o ur stylish me dieval costumes from peasant t o queen s and learnt about life in th e medie val times. Eve ryone exp erienced the life o f pe ople in the Middle Ages for a d ay. Some of th e other enjoyable things we did we re /earn ing ho w to shoot a bow and arrow as well as doing some fun ky dance moves that involved a lot of bowing and stepping left a nd right. Ove rall, it made us fee l lucky to be raised in a city where everyone is t reated the same in regards to men and women and we have the free dom to live a happy li fe with an education.

Health & Physical Education

M r Matthew Rice Health & Physical Education KLA Tea m Leader

Physica l Education, Health and Human Development - 2014 Physica l Education and Health and Human Development have co ntinued to develop this year thro ugh staff innovation and initiative, utilising and engagin g with local resources and fac ilities. Our philosophy of healthy active engagement in activity and encouragement of ed ucated healthy lifestyle choices fo rms the foundation of our curriculum.

The gym nastics program this yea r has further utilised the specialist Jets Gym facility and has seen an extension of school-based Gymnastics curriculum with our colla boration with Jets.

This yea r has seen the format ion of a CLC Bike Club and a significant improvement in the quality of bikes, along with a state of the art storage area near the Multipurpose courts. These improvements and ea sy accessibility for students enhance our Bi ke Education Curriculum activities .

Growth in se lf-confidence, bo dy awareness and lifelong self- defence skills are an outcom e of our new Martial Arts Program in Year 10. We believe in the importance of students having the necessary physica l confidence for selfprotection in the world outside of Catholic Ladies' College.

Eig ht cl asses participated in our VCE Units 1-4 curriculum in Physical Education and Health and Human Development this year. A growth in this area provi des pathways for study and employment in industries

that continue to grow and expand.

VCE Health and Human Development have seen an extension of the Real Care Baby Program, with the robot baby taken home for overnight care. After the b aby was gleefully handed back to teaching st aff, the feedback from parents was most

positive, as the challenges of caring for an infant became all too real!

One of the most marked visual changes in the sports area has been two enormous helicopter blade systems that form the fans on the ceiling of the gymnasium. Th ese fans enhance air flow and provid e improved student comfort

and wellbeing in the warmer weather. The state o f the art additions have seen a tangible improvement in student's ability and willingness to participate on very hot days.

Lift off!

Parents Association

Th is is my final year as president of the Parents A ssociation, and I would like to say what an honour and enjoyable experience it has been. I would like to acknowledge the wonderful people of the Association and how it has been a privilege to work with such great community minded people .

2014 has been a very fr uitful year for the Parents' A ssociation in fundraising for College initiatives but also on a social level in providing opportun ity for parents to meet and mingle.

Our Coffee and Catch Up mornings in the beautiful Sr Una McAl lister Centre have provided much enjoyment and connection between parents, and we hope to build on the initiative next year by continuing on with a morning tea each term .

82

The welcoming barbeque for our Year 7 families was again a very popular evening with combined staff, PA members, students and their families in a relaxed and informal beginning to life at the College.

The high tea for our Year 12 girls and their mothers/ significant women is gaining in popularity each year and is a fabulous opportunity to have a relaxing day in what is an extremely busy year. It was a lovely day at Ballara Receptions with fabulous food, together with good company, to reflect on their time at the College .

All girls took home a lolly box from the candy buffet to help keep up their sugar levels!

Our father/daughter bowling afternoon was lots of fun, and gave all those who attended the opportunity to meet other dads and their daughters. We look forward to doing this

again in 2015 . We will also be starting a mother/ daughter event in 2015 just before Mother's Day, so make sure you look out for this.

Our barbeques, annual fees raffle, uniform sales and Entertainment Book sales continue to provide us with the necessary funds to facilitate College initiatives.

This year we are pleased yet again, in being able to hand to the College $20,000 to go towards the overall planned improvements to outdoor areas and courtyards for students.

We hope some of t he new events we have hosted have given new and existing parents the opportunity to engage with other parents and help them build networks., Our thanks go to the many hardworking parents on the committee and also the volunteers who are part of our College commu nity.

They make all of our events happen with some very pleasing results that benefit us all.

Art and Design

Madeline Nibal i The Arts Captain

The Arts - Art Visual Com!'Tlunication Design, Media and Fashion Many students have thrived this year in Art, Visual Communication Design, Med ia an d Fashion. We have had an artist in residence, Mariella McKinely, a past CLC student w ho assisted senior girls in ' t heir art projects and provided inva luable advice and expertise to t hem . She also helped you nger year levels with their artistic endeavours and amazed us all with her glass artworks.

Her work with the classes has proved to be a great success.

The VCE Art Exhibition was full of the wonderful achievements of t he art students at CLC. For the first time, annua l awards across each subject and a Principal's Choice Award have been added to the night. It has been a wonderful o pportunity as VCE students are able to curate their own exhi bition space. It g ives the gi rls a chance experience usin g a space that they have be en given and how handle a p ublic viewing of their work.

Past CLC student Minna Gilligan, now an accomplished, professional artist in her own right presented a talk at the

opening of the annual art show telling of her own experience ' in the art world and inspiring the girls to further their artistic endeavours beyond College.

The entire school participated in the 2014 International Wom en's Day artwork providing a long lasting collaborative artwork which now stands proudly in the hall and has over the entire year.

Girls bustling with portfolios and creative pieces could be seen running across the school all year round and now that has come to an end once again. The conceptual thinking and wonderful execution of art works paired with the teachers' guidance has proved this year to be a success in the Visual Arts Key Learning Area. The talents at CLC have once again amazed me.

Congratulations to all of the girls who participated in an Art subject this year and I hope you continue on with it under the ' leadership of next year's captain, Claire Ryan.

Madeline Nibali The Arts Captain

The Arts The Arts KLA has had another exciting year packed with music concerts, drama performances, and displays of students' visual artworks. The Arts classrooms have been as active and busy as ever with students and staff alike working hard to ensure the ' success of the 2014 school year.

It has been fantastic to see so many students flourish and showcase their wonderful talents and most of all see the girls enjoy creating, making and performing within The Arts. The students at CLC were exposed to many opportunities for experiencing arts and we hope to continue to be instrumental in helping to shape the creative thinkers performers, designers and artf media producers of the future .

The stage was set for the CLC major performance production in 2014 'West Side Story'.

The full scale show of this magnitude was a highlight with over 100 students taking part. It was well produced and performed by actors, dancers, musicians and of course, the back stage crew. Students

continued to thrive with outstanding achievements by many talented students.

The Annual VCE Visual Arts and Design Exhibition was another highlight for our budding creative students.

CLC Art, Design and Media students' work was featured in our rich and varied curriculum exhibition. We celebrated the talents of our senior students who shared their creative inspirations, processes, experiences and lives in their work. Other highlights included the Nillumbik's Top VCE Art Exhibition, the Catholic Education Week Art Exhibition and the Top Arts/Design excursion.

Upon reflection, it is only through hard work and a shared vision that The Arts KLA has created the many achievements of 2014. Both The Arts staff and students have seized the opportunities and continued to nurture and develop The Arts at CLC and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for making this year a memorable one.

Year 11 Reflection

Year 11 Form al Reflections Friday, 18 July was a date for all Year 11 girls to remember.

The day began with everyone in high spirits and unable to contain their excitement as the Formal approached. Once the bell sounded all ran off to the hairdressers and cosmetic stores to prepare for the night ahead. We arrived at 'Lincoln o f Toorak', where the night wa s to be held. Some girls even pulled up in limousines!

As they entered the foyer everyone greeted one other with glowing expressions.

Each and everyone one looked absolutely stunning! After the g reetings and finger foods, w e were ushered into the reception room. There was a dance floor surrounded by ta bles and soon we were all seate d for the festivities to begin . The DJ started up and the re was plenty of dancing between courses. In the foyer, a p hotographer was set up and all of the girls had plenty of photos taken. Not only was the photographer set up in the foyer, but there were photos be ing taken around the main roo m and at the tables too.

After the main course, awards were gi ven out. There were many awards, but all of the girls looked amazing! Pak Sil receive d best dressed teacher and Mr Regan received the best quote award. It was an incredible night and one that all of us will remember!

The Formal was a great night; it was lovely to see al l the girls dressed up and having a good time. Congratulations to those who received awards on the night but all girls were worthy of one. The dance floor was the p lace to be with the DJ p laying some tunes. Girls rocked up in buses, cars, Maxi cabs and even limousines and were all prepared to have a good night which they certainly did. Pak Sil won best dressed teacher but all the teachers looked smash ing.

The food was delicious and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Thanks to the organisers and everyone who helped all the Year 11 shave a fun filled night.

Alex andra Critchley On 18 July the Year 11 girls attended their formal which was held in a lovely venue called 'Lincoln of Toorak'. A s the night began, familiar faces flooded the foyer with girls in stunning dresses, with hair and makeup complementing their beautiful outfits. Some girls had handsome partners escorting them in their classy suits; everyone wa s prepared for a great night. Songs were sung accompanied by enthusiastic dancers; it was an amazing night that flew by. Awards were given out for things such as best dressed, cutest couple, year level sweetheart as well as things like best dressed teacher (awarded to Pak Sil for his bright orange shirt).

Not only was the night one

full of laughter and fun, but a night that brought many smiles and as a whole made an unforgettable memory that brought the year level closer together.

Senior Writing Conversation between Victor Frankenstein and Robert Walton Walton : " ...an d th en my eye s opened and I understood that I w as not made for simple living, I w ished to do some great thi ng with my life. Therefore, I too k my newfound fortune an d d id with it what you now see arou nd yo u, found a vessel an d hard y men who would accompa ny me to the poles of o ur earth to discover the source that makes our compasses q uiver. " Franke nst ein is silent for a mo ment, and th en he seems to be unab le to suppress his em otio n.

Frankenste in: "Unhappy man!

Do you sha re my madness?

Have you drunk al so of the intoxicating d raught? Hear m e - let me reveal my tale, and yo u wi ll d ash the cup from your lips?"

Walt on (excited) : "Wherefore my frie nd? What hast thou experi enced t hat so overcomes you with g rief? I do wish you wou ld sha re it with myself!"

Frankenstein : " My dear Walton, as you do w ish , I will share my ta le . But be warned , it is not o ne th at wi ll warm your heart.

If I tel l it in truth , you will feel your blood congeal and curdles with horror?"

A pause Frankenstein : "You may easily perce ive, Captain Walton, t hat I have suffered g reat and unparalleled misfortunes. I had determi ned, at one time, that the memory of these evils shall die w it h me, but you have won me to al ter my decision ."

Walt o n: " I do hope I cause you no more grief to retell your tale ."

Frankenste in: " Any grief I feel retel ling my misfortunes to you is mine, and mine alone .

It is th e result of the pursuit of know ledge that should not be pursued . Before I begin my sorrowf ul tale, I have a crumb of ad vice for you, Walton. Not all quest ions in this world need their answers found. Some mysteries need to hold onto th eir mysteriousness ."

Wal t o n: "Was your question o ne t o remain unanswered?"

Fra nkenst ein : "Perhaps the q uest ion that should always remai n in the-vault of the

untou ched . The questio n of life ."

Piece "Captain Walton do you think me a good man?" The stranger asked rather suddenly. We sat on the top deck of the ship today as the stranger had been showing signs of better health these past few days and he had been anxious to stay where he had a clear view of the ice in case the mysterious figu re returned. Although his m ind had seemed to be absent th ro ughout the time I had been talking with him ; as though his t houghts were preoccupied elsewhere . I thought on the stranger's question, I had only known him for a short time but in all that time he had been nothing but well -mannered and amiable towards the crew and myself. He was a man I would be glad to call a friend .

"Yes, though I may not know about your life before you came aboard this vessel , from what I have seen since your arrival I believe you to be a good man .

You have given me no reason to doubt that, for surely a man as wise and affable as you could not be anything but."

"You shouldn't base your opinions of me on such little knowledge. I have done terrible things, blood has been spilt. These hands are cursed by the devil. I often think of my mistakes, whether I was right to do what I did, had I changed something would I have be better off, could things had been different? I created something I should never have tried to create but perhaps this curse was meant to be, I would not be the person I am today was it not for the events of my life . I sought knowledge, new discoveries; I d id what many would have told me not to . Oh, woe is me! Had I only told someone about my plans perhaps I would have been convinced of the madness and utter vileness of it all.

Now though I suffer with my guilt in the hopes of one day being united with those I love in the comfort of Heaven . Do not seek knowledge Captain Walton, do not become the fool I once was . Go home to

yo ur fa mily and live a happy life, for noth ing good com es of curios ity." " Ho w could I leave thi s pla ce w hen th ere is still so much to b e learned , to be discovered? I am a man of adventure. I would not be able to turn back now!

How could I live knowing that I never satisfied my thirst for knowledge that gnaws at me?

No, I must continue on ."

"Oh foolish man! You must save yourself before misfortune falls upon you as it did me! Heed my warning, do not continue on this path or you will come to regret your decision . I ca nnot force you to listen but you would be wise to. Please .

Perhaps I will tell you my story in the days to come, maybe then you wil l abandon this search of desire ."

I opened my mouth to again argue with the stranger that he was wrong but he spoke before I could speak again .

"I am tired I think I must rest ."

I hesitated but he seemed to have no intention of continu ing this conversation and had become rather distressed . I did not want to cause him stress and worsen his already fragile health. " Very well. Get one of my men to call for me if you should need me ."

With that he slowly stood and made his way down to his room.

The stranger was the only man I considered a friend on this ship, I hoped I had not offended him with my boldness and fa ilure to heed his warnings. I hope I can continue to speak with him in the days ahead for I do not wish to return to the loneliness I felt before his arrival.

I was woke in the night by a terrible screaming and yelling.

I quickly left my bed put on my robe and followed the noise to where it lead me. I came close to the room of the stranger, the yelling eased and I heard laboured breathing coming from the room in which he slept. I knocked on the door and entered hoping he would forgive my intrusion. The stranger was sitting up in his bed breathing heavily, eyes wide open and muscles tense.

He quickly scanned the room , his movements sharp and

weary, his eyes qu ickly t ook in my form in his doorway before moving on to the rest of the room . After he had fini shed looking around the ro om his eyes settled on the w all in front of him. His body rela xed slightly, he seemed to have been satisfied that whatever he had been looking for was not in the room w ith us. After minutes of silence the stranger spoke .

"I ' m sorry if I woke you Captain Walton ."

"No, it's quite alright."

It was strange to see this man who had been so affable only hours earlier shaken and in a state of such fear and distress .

He turned to me now, his weary eyes focusing on my face no doubt seeing the concern etched into my features .

"I hope I have not woken the rest of your crew. I am afraid that the many sights I have seen over the years have taken their toll on my mind . I now often wake from sleep sweating and shaken . Nightmares plague my sleeping mind , always of my loved ones in the moments of their death, sometimes in my arms, or strangled by rope, or perhaps bleeding with flesh hanging from limbs as if they had been a feast for a hungry pride of lions. Tonight though I dreamt of a monster so hideous, so nightmarish that I could barely look upon him, his appearance alone is such an abhorrence that many would run in terror and d isgust."

The stranger moved to stare at the wall as if in deep thought before he addressed me again .

"Please Captain Walton do not stay for my sake, go and rest and I shall try to do the same.

Good night and thank-you for your concern."

"Good night, rest well."

And with that I turned and made my way back to bed, I thought it curious that the stranger would trust me with such a personal admission, perhaps it was the lack of sleep or perhaps he felt he needed to tell someone of his demons, either way I was pleased to have alleviated some of the burden placed on him by the troubles he had experienced in life .

Year 12 Team Leader Reflection

Mr Frank Sal mic Year 12 Tea m Lead er

A s I reflect on 2014, I am taken back to the preparation for the College Opening Mass and all the Year 12s writing a personal reflection on the magn ificent, symbo li c boot related to this year's th eme 'To walk in the shoes of another'. In reading what the Year 12's had written I was touched and impressed that they expressed a real sense of what it means to be a part of a faith community and the importance of Christ's simple ca ll for us to extend compassion and understanding to others.

Each year we comment on how fast the year seems to pass for the Year 12s. Well it is the same this year. For the Year 12s, their year is framed by that bitter sweet combination of the thrill of the end of six years of secondary schooling being within sight and, simultaneously, the sadness of realising that they are moving through a series of 'lasts' and the finality that comes with this .

We started the year with their last Formal, last College Opening Mass, last Retreat, last Swimming, Athletics and Founder's Days. On each occasion the girls made the most of these events and, as we reflected on them, they felt that sense of progression towards a very different 2015 .

As the Year 12s prepare to graduate and for the challenges

98

of deciding their choices and directions for 2015 and beyond, I am confident that they will be members of the CLC community and, as such, that they will always carry forward the values, the call and the imperative of nurturing the dignity and respect of all people. I hope and pray that the Charism of the Sisters of Charity and the courage of the five founding Sisters of Charity who ventured to Australia 175 years ago inspires, guides and shapes their future.

I am reminded of a story in Christopher Gleeson's (SJ and ex-principal of Xavier College) 'A Canopy of Stars' where he relates the story of a man who extended t o his newspaper vendor, a cheerful and polite greeting every morning and, in return, received most often a rude or, at best, a gruff respo nse. When asked why he was always polite he responded 'Why not? Why should I let him decide how I am going to act?'

To the graduates of 2014, as you enter your many new worlds, post CLC, may you always be that person who responds 'why not? To our graduating class you are called to be people who are forever guided by faith, hope, compassion and love. You have been privileged to share in a community where you experience d these foundation values every day.

To conclude I leave you w ith this blessing: M ay you be able to jou rn ey t o that place in your soul where There is great love, warmth , feeling and forgiveness .

May this continue to change you.

M ay you never forget that, Wherever you journey in life, Whether you advert to it or not, You are most richly blessed w ith the friendship of God. (With acknowledgement t o John O'Donohue and Christopher Gleeson) Mr Frank Salmic Year 12 Team Leader

It is my pleasure as Chief Editor of Caritas 20 14 to present you with a report on behalf of the Magazine Team.

Mrs Lynn Mason Magazine Coordinator

Rebecca Gazelle Chief Student Editor

108

I have been fortunate enough to be a part of the magazine team since Year 7 and I am pleased to have been given this role in my final year at Catholic Ladies' College .

The experience of being Magazine Editor has been a big, stressful but enjoyable job but in seeing the finishing product , I couldn't ask for any better or be prouder for the whole Team . During this time at Catholic Ladies' College, I have been able to develop many technical skills including those on Adobe Photoshop. The Magazine Team has worked extremely hard to complete this year's magazine and none of their hard effort goes unrecognised.

As an addition to this year's Caritas Mrs Mason and I decided to try a completely new idea and created a Year 12 Graduation keepsake book as well as the Caritas magazine. The Year 12 Graduation keepsake book is dedicated to the Class of 20 14 students and teachers.The Caritas design takes on th is year's College theme "to walk in the shoes of another" and some of our well recognised Girls Flourish Here designs and artwork and logo's.

It had been a pleasure to work with my Year 12 peers and the Magazine Team, and most importantly M rs M ason who coordinates Caritas. I thank the girls that showed up every week to meetings in C1, and I wish you best of luck in the future and hope that you continue to involve yourself in the magazine and

hopefully one day you will ta ke o n the role of Chief Editor.

My biggest thanks go to M rs M ason, without all her hard work over the years, her dedication an d guidance, the many great t hings we have achieved would not have been possible. We hope that you all enjoy this year 's Caritas as much as the M agazine Tea m and I enjoyed creating it.
