CLC is part of Mary Aikenhead Ministries wh ich has other schools, hospitals and outreach facilities in Melbourne and interstate.

Mary Aikenhead ministries has four val ues: love, justice, hope and compassion. This year one of these val ues has been the foundation for our College theme: Hope transforms. Hope is all about envisio ning a positive future and playin g our part in making that a real ity. Hope is not about wishful thinking, rather, it is about action. Hope transfo rms how we think and behave and it is at its most powerful when it is shared wi th others.

So how was this theme lived out in our CLC community th is year?

Each o ne of you need to be proud about how you have contributed t o bringing hope to others in 2017. How have you done this?

learning. The statement, and its focus on attitudes about learning, sits very comfortably alongside the College's commitment to Professor Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset.

Vis ible Learn ing and Growth Mi ndset asks all to be cu rious, dedicated and pers istent learners and to feel empowered and challenged by risk-taking, mistake-making and feedback.

Students have also been ass isted with their learn ing th is year by the use of Learning Intentions and Success Cri t eria.

Such has been the impact of this learning strategy that students often demand the use o f Learning Intentions and Success Criteria when teachers inadvertently forget to display

them in lessons.

Student Wellbeing

Student wellbeing and aca demi c progress are inextri ca bly linked. happy Happy student s are learners. In 2017 the College has co ntinued to review, develop and refine the pastoral ca re program at each yea r level. Th e Year Level Team Leaders, in co njunction with each year level's homeroom teachers, worked as a team to create an environmen t in which the students in their care were supporte d to achieve their best.

The pastoral ca re program at each year leve l is tailored t o issues and needs relevant to the age group.

When respondi ng to each child's wel lbeing needs, a pastoral care progra m must be agile; Agile in the sense that it must have the ca pacity to respond to immed iate persona l si tu ations that students and their families, may find themselves in as well having a proactive component that addresses wi der social and emotional learning. Equipping students to recognise , evaluate and respon d effectively to the chal lenges they may face is central to developing a confident outlook and a forward looking mindset .

Across the year levels, from Year 7 to Year 12, the C LC pastoral

has enabled program care such cons ider to students areas as dealing wi th anxiety, making friends, effective study to responding techniques, conflict, cyber citizenship, cyber safety, gender equality, reflecting on the world of wo rk and careers, promoting a positive self-image, co-curricular encouraging involvement, subject selection, post-secondary to transition choices, developing respectful relationsh ips and fost ering a resilient approach to challenges.

Catholic Identity & Mission

This year our College has ce lebrated ou r va lue of Hope. A quote by Pope Francis has helped us to unpack our understand ing of Hope. He said, ' If we wa lk in hope, we have joy in our hearts.

Let us be lights of hope I ' We have explored hope in terms of its positive impact on our state of mind and outlook toward the future. Acknowledging that we strive for greater things and anticipate a bright fu ture, we work today in the confident knowledge that our efforts will make a difference and set us on a path towards achieving the goa ls that we set out to achieve.

At Catholic Ladies' Col lege, our staff and students have demonstrated the value of hope in all areas of their work, study and co-cur ri cular activities.

Specifically, in the area of Catholic Identity and Culture, hope has been evident in the way both staff and students have embraced the opportun ities made available in the Mission area of the school. One of the most im portant e lements of our charism is t o be of service to th e

poor. An active outreach program of both vo lunteering and raising awareness of those in situations which are less than ideal is cr it ical for our College. Social Justice is not just an 'add-on' for students at C LC but a daily way of living. This has been evident in all the activities the Socia l Justice and Environment group have organised throughout the year. Rais ing awareness about domestic violence, various fundraising activities, a food drive for St Vincent de Paul , Project Compassion as well as a 'detention for detention' protest to highl ight th e plight of asylum seekers and refugees in Australia al l serve to demonstrate that the sp irit of car ing for the poor is well and truly alive at C LC. Students continue to participate in the SALT dinners, St. Pius Reading club, as wel l as other outreach activities which provide valuable experiences w here hope transforms a simp le act into a meaningfu l experience.

Anothe r central element of our charism is t o nurture the spirituality of our staff and students. Thi s year, students in al l year leve ls have had the opportunity to engage in retreats or reflection days wh ich have focused on allowing time and space t o deepen their sp irits and engage with God on the level that is most comfortable. T he Year 12 students all travelled to Phill ip Isl and in June to enjoy three days of time away bonding with each other, spending time

in reflect ion and having fun at the end of a busy first semester.

Year 11 students spent a day at Amberley Retreat Centre in Lower Plenty engaging in a number of d ifferent topics which they were able to choose from, ranging from Catholic Social Tea ch ing, Meditation and the ethical treatment of peop le historica ll y and in the contemporary world. Students in Years 7 and 9 spent their reflecti on days at the Passi on ist Retreat Centre in Templestowe, focusing on making a difference in the world. Steve Angrisano, youth minister and Christian rock star, lead the day with the Year 7 students looking at se lf im age and the Year 9 students focused on re lationships with the Youth M ission Team. Year 10 students engaged in a Refl ection day based on their experience throughout the ir Community Service placement in Term 1.

M any rich refle ctions and stories came to light throug hout the day demonstrating a passionate commi tm ent to helping th ose in need. Th e Year 8 students spent their reflection day focussing on Mi ss ion and how we can be invo lved as well as raising awareness of issues the world currently faces. A focus on prayer, and particularly prayer in the homeroom, has also all owed staff and students time and space to ponder some of life's big questions .

All of the activities we engage in are conso li dated and reinforced

in the Religious Edu cat ion classroom: from Year 7 w he re students learn about who we are as a College and where we come from, as well as looking at how we celebrate our Catholic iden tity in ritual , t o Year 8, where students look at creat ion and examine the myths around the world that humans have used to expla in what they experience.

Students in Year 9 ha ve the opportuni ty to delve into social JUStice and explore a way of engaging in the world with the aim of making it a better place ; while in Year 10, students are exposed to different ways of viewing the world religiously and examine the o rig ins of religion and its meaning. A t Ye ar 11, ethi ca l thinking is t he focus and principles are app lied to modern day ethical issues thus giving students an o pp o rt unity to expand their way of thinking about issues which dominate our world t oday. Year 12 students also had the opportunity to focus on contemporary issues and reflect on them during their t ime in the RE Centre .

Catholi c Ladies ' Colleg e demonstrates the va lue of hope in so many ways throughout its daily routine. This yea r staff and students have shown their com mitment to living as 'lights of hope', as Po pe Francis said , and 'having joy in their hearts' as a result.

Year 10-12 Learning back memories of their first day at CLC. On the same day they completed the Morrisby test which enabled them to learn a little more about their learning styles.

It seems almost like yesterday that the 2017 school year was about to begin and now we have arrived near the end for our Ye ar 12 students. This year has been an exciting one for the senior students as they have approached their school life and its various cha llenges with commitment and passion. For the Year 12 students the year began with meeting their Year 7 Buddy and helping them feel welcome.

For many the experience brought

During the year, each of the yea r levels was involved in specific sessions to assist them in different aspects of their learning. setting, goal skills, Study motivation were all explored so that the students could work on an area they may need to focus upon in their learning. The students felt that these sessions we re valuable in helping them to improve in their preparation and understanding of what is required, especially in the area of exam preparation.

The Fo rmal for the Year12 students became the highlight of the first term and in close col laboration with Mr Brian

Pearce the evening was a great success. The Year 11 students experienced a similar wonderful experience with their Formal at Manor on High in July. For the Year 10 students the Whitefriars' social was a most successful evening. Each of these events were ve ry important experiences for the students and they will be remembered with great joy. have students senior The involved themse lves in all aspects of the College's life and have enabled the success of many events through their enthusiasm and commitment. They have worked tirelessly in all House activities, supported the College production and participated in all the sports programs. Many senior students have involved themselves in Debating, Social Justice, Peer Support, Dance groups and the list goes on.

As we near the end of the year I would like to thank the senior students for- being the positive role models they have been for the younger students. It is important, also, to acknowledge the work of the Student Leaders, especially those at the senior level. They have led by example and carried out their roles with comm itment and integrity. I would like to thank the Senior Leadership Team, Mr Brian Pearce (12), Ms Jody Koerner (11) and Mr Richard Smith (10) for their support of the students in al l aspects of their li ves at the college. For they work tirelessly to make sure that everything runs smoothly for their students in all aspects of their well-being and their studies.

The Year 7 students thorough ly enjoyed Peer Support this year with highlights be ing the sessions with their leaders and the Pizza lunch to mark the end of the program. Throughout Semester 1, the Year 7 students had opportunities to practise cooperation and collaboration skills and build confidence to more actively participate in school life . While participating in the program, they had to practise being organised and needed to work close ly with their study buddy to catch up on missed work. These skills are so important for success at

secondary school and it is great for the Year 7 students to work on developing them from the beginning of the year.

Peer Support also provides opportunities for Year 10 students to deve lop their leadership skills. In order to be selected as a Peer Support Leade r, Year 9 students were required to subm it an application form that outlined why they would like to be involved in the program.

Every yea r students impress me with their thoughtful responses and their genuine desire to support Year 7 students through the transition from primary to secondary school. This year, 37 students were trained to be Peer Support Leaders. The training

day focused on te achi ng t he g irls the qualities of a good leader, effective communi cation skills, conflict resoluti o n and team build ing.

The Peer Support program is an invaluable part of our Cath o lic Ladies' College t ran siti on program , one in w hi ch many memories are ma de . I wish t o thank all the Ye ar 10 leade rs for the excellent wo rk t hey ha ve done in prep ari ng for their sessions and supporti ng the Year 7 students. I would also like to wish them al l the very b est in their future leaders hip roles.

Student Writing and Writers Festival You know I wonder if some kids will ever know what acceptance feels like. There are people out there that have armadas of artilleries that shoot attacking words that feel like arsenic. Those others have insurmountable amounts of insults. Every time they spit it out with the intent to hurt and with malice, so 1t leaves a mark on the already damaged. The already hurting.

The already pained kids try to leave before their time and they hear the three words that cripple them with all that they fear. Making them as rigid as a marble statue.

"Get over it".

So they repeat their flaws over and over in their crumbling and broken minds like a misery mantra.

So do not tell me, do not tell me, that there are countless children out there that do not cry themselves to sleep dreaming of a better day.

Do not tell me that there are children out there that don't feel acceptance.

Do not tell me that they don't believe they are invalid and worthless. Like they could fade away into the night and no one would notice and the world would continue on like nothing happened. Do not tell me.

Do not tel l me that the prob lem is that the people that hurt and the people that die is because they didn 't reciprocate acceptance and affection. Like it's their fault; because it's not.

Do not tell me that world accepts everyone "just the way they are" because the worlds worst flaw is that we don't let people know we love them and accept them. So goddamit do not tell me people in this day and age feel like they can be themselves.

Because they can't Maybe one day we can change that and seize t he day.

worked very well together.

Everyone's aim was to make this the best production we have been involved in; so, from

T he first six months of the year involved o rg anisation and rehearsals for the school production of 'Alice in Wonderland', wh ich everyone was absolutely ecstatic about doing. It was a crazy and stressful rid e, but to see it all come together made it all worthwhile.

the start of the year to the final

Everyone in the production this year was wonde rfu l - from the dancers, actors, singers, musicians to the backstage crew. T here were many different opinions and ideas about how the production could be a success. This was terr ific, because we all wanted the same outcome and everyone

production time is over. I will

curtain, we al l worked extremely hard and believe we absolutely achieved our goa l. Following the two performances, it was very pleasing to hear such wonderfu l comments coming from the audience about how much they enjoyed the show. I still can 't believe that my schoo l m iss the stressful nights, the hundreds of emai ls I received and the Tuesday and Thursday rehearsals after schoo l, because even though it was a "MAD " six months, the JOurney was unforgettable and the outcome was a highlight of my t ime at CLC.

It w ill be disappo int ing not being on the stage next year.

However, I lo o k fo rward to being in the audi e nce and cheering on the g irls who will be performing.

Finally, I would like t o say a big thank you to M r Ledu c fo r all that he has done in Mu sic and Mrs Molloy for all of her assistance with the Produ ct ion, Drama, and Dailce Cl ub. I wou ld also like to thank M rs Molloy for all of her supp ort and guidance throughout my time as Performing Arts Captai n .

Catholic Ladies' Co lleg e has had a fantastic year in the area of Performing Arts and I hope that it wi ll continue for m any years to come.

Year 9 Reflection It is extraordinary to witness and make a sma ll contribution to their growth, which appears to be particularly evident during this stage of their schooling. The changes to their physical maturity is due to nature and nutrition.

Th e growth in their inte llectual and moral maturity is impacted by great many factors. The love, care and active engagement of parents is crucia l.

At this time of year, I am starting t o prepare myself to hand over an other group of girls to the Year 10 Te am Leader 2018 . I reconcile myse lf t o the fact that I am not sayi ng " g o od -bye!" but rather " I'll see yo u around". I inevitably conti nue to be involved in thei r lives either as a classroom teacher o r as an informal mentor.

No net he less, after having been involved in th eir lives for the past 12 m onths, I cannot help but feel a litt le me lancholy.

Each co ho rt is different with a unique mix of individuals; each with her own distinctive pe rsonality, strengths and wea knesses. The satisfaction I get fro m my role as Team Leader co mes from playing a sma ll part in he lping the girls navigate t hro ugh the year, meeting cha llenges and overcoming obsta cl es .

Student Being part of th e Leadership Team t his yea r was both an interest ing and va lu abl e experience for me because it allowed me to have m o re of a voice in the schoo l co m munity. I very much e njoyed being able t o put my ideas into play an d to b e abl e t o enga g e in co nversatio n with t he leaders in oth er yea r levels. This year for Fo under's Day the o rga nisat ion was enti rely up t o the st udent leaders. This allowed us to al l work together and co llabo rative ly t o co m e up with ideas to make t he day successful.

The Year 9 stu d ents spent one d ay doing a reflection at Th e Ho ly Cross centre in Templestowe, whe re we were encouraged to step o utside our co mfo rt zones and open up to one another. This allowed everyone in the year leve l to have an opportunity t o be t rut hful and it allowed us t o all listen to what each other had to say.

As a Year 9 team, we have sought to provide a rich learn in g environment wh ich is designed to open and broaden the minds of young women. We have encouraged academic excellence. Rather than accept the status quo, girls are encouraged to ask the difficult questions. As a Catholic col lege, we have sought to provide the girls with a moral compass to assist them as they navigate through an increasingly complex society. We have also sought to create an awareness and empathy for others.

The Year 9 students were involved in many activities • • • • • •

Project compassion Sovereign Hill Excursion Healesville day trip Inquiry Based Program Short Film Festival Workshops in Resilience

• Drama, Music and Dance excursions • Sport competitions and events • Musical Production • STEM program •After school Science program • Reflection Day Thi s year, however, the Year 9 students experienced two new activities which helped develop personal growth and resi lience.

First, the Reach Foundation facilitated two workshops; one, Self Esteem and Positive Peer Dynamics and two, Finding your Voice. Both were powerful and effective workshops to wh ich students responded positively.

Second ly, for the first time in 20 17, the Year 9 students were ab le to experience a seaside camp in Ang lesea. It was fabu lous. Each student participated in surfing, canoeing, kitchen garden, open learning water experience, vertical cha ll enge, giant swing, Initiatives and Leap of Faith.

Each of these activities ensured th at students were able to work and so lve problems together, develop independence and physical abi lity skills, strengthen a sense of community and connect them to the natural world.

Many thanks to the Year 9 teachers this year for their support and patience. Special

They were; 9A Mr Damian Bras ier, 9B Ms Liana Co laluca, 9C Mr Eoghan O'Sul li van, 9D Dr Dawn Duncan, 9E Mr Matthew Rice and 9 F Ms Lynette Molloy, This year's Homeroom Representatives were 9A Alanna El-Bay, 9B Rheanne Kuruvilla, 9C Karen Mobarak, 9D Ho lly Dyson, 9E Georgia Munnings, 9F Emma De Bolfa. I also wou ld like to thank the Year 9 Student Representative team members, Julia Ray and Maya Wallens; who were t wo confident young ladies who informed us of College activities. Our House Captains also made an impression; Vincentia - Victoria Turner, Marita - Ca itlin Hand ley, Loyo la - Jordan Jennings and Aikenhead - Maddie Dan ie ls.

All these students are to be commended for the ir help and efforts throughout the year. It has been a real pleasure worki ng with these de lightful young ladies.

Th is year's Year 9 cohort has made remarkab le progress in this journey and I wish them wel l as they prepare for their sen ior years of secondary schooling.

An oth er d ay we will all remember was when some wo rkers from the REACH Fo undati o n ca me . They ag ai n urged us t o step beyo nd our comfort zo nes and even had some stu d ents sitting in fro nt of everyone enco uraging them to have a chance at 'removing' a mask or exp osing som e of their true self as a way t o gain more confiden ce and t o b e m ore of t hemselves around peopl e.

Thi s yea r, we also p arti cipated in IBP (Inqui ry Based Project), w here we ca m e up w ith a city th at co uld survive o r be sustainable in an ext rem e re gio n of th e world eg.

Religious Education

Year 7 is ab o ut Belonging t o a Cathol ic Community. Students started the ir year by developing a sense of commu nity and be longing here at Catho lic Ladies' College. The girls have learnt about our fou nder, Sr. M ary Aike nhead , her life story and the establishment of the Sisters of Charity and th ei r missi o n of caring for the poor. The Year 7 RE teache rs have spe nt t ime explaining the importance and signi ficance of the p rayers, gestures and symb o ls used in the celebration of our fa ith .

Year 8 is about Mission . Students learnt about creation stories from many trad iti ons and cultures. The key message is that we have been entru sted with the care or stewardship of our precious planet and all who live here. Mission Day always marks an importa nt date on the Ye ar 8 calendar with an inspirational talk from past students and many act ivities that help ga in insights into how organisations can help t hose in need in the world.

Year 9 has a strong focus on Social Justice . Student s explore the bibl ica l foun dations for understanding why justice is central to any faith in God . The students enjoyed the unit on Conscience and Decision M aking; discussing ways in which they make good decisions; th inki ng ab o ut what morals and values they draw on and how are they developin g these as they approach adulthood.

Year 10 is a time for stu dents to focus on Ch ri sti an o utreach and Service t o others. Time is spent on reflection by students for their co mmun ity service placements and understanding the importance of t he experien ce in their journey at Catholic Ladies' College. Year 10 is also a time for students to widen their perspectives of fa ith by investigati ng the nature of religion and how it is expressed in va rious ways in different societies . Th e framewo rk of the course is t he VCE Unit Reli g ion in Society. A highlight was a presentation by young peop le of d ifferent faiths and be liefs which was for student s to enjoy.

Year 11 co mplete the VC E Unit 2 Religion and Society - Ethics and Moral ity. Students learn the nature of doing ethics and explore the facto rs that influence decis ion making. Th e big focus fo r the last unit is t he ethical evaluati on of issues with in the topic of asylum seekers an d refugees.

Year 12 RE is a chance for some time out from demands of VCE and for refle ction on life. Students enjoyed t he chance t o spend time relaxing and reflecting in the RE centre and participating in sma ll gro up discussions o n persona l growth acti vities and discuss contem pora ry issues.

Reconciliation Group Catho lic Ladies' College has a commitment to t he FIRE Carrier program which promotes Reconcili ation by organising activities to cre ate aw areness around significant dates of ou r shared history. We incorporate Aboriginal spiritual ity into our Catholic identity by incl uding the cultural and cere m onial gifts of Aboriginal people.

We support Opening the Doors Foundation th ro ugh fundraising that supports Victorian Aboriginal children to stay in schoo l. It has he lped over 700 children with their education

Reconciliation is all about us, you and me, being able to listen to the stories and work towards a future where there is no divide between cultures. It is being able to walk behind Aboriginal people to support their needs, rather than lead them in the direction that we think they want t o go. It is about recognising the wrongs that have happened and ensurin g that they don't happen again.

It's about every Austra lians right to live with dignity.

This of course can only be achieved if we actua lly believe it.

We educate the school community about the Aborig in al story, particularly in the N illumbik area , and CLC's Aboriginal connection in ord er to raise awareness.

Year 10 Student Leader Reflections

Bein g part of the Student Le adership Team (S LT) this year has been a great honour that has allowed me to be involved in various projects and fun dra ising activities.

The International Women's Day celebration was the first ta sk fo r the SLT, who were involved in selling cakes and icy p ol es. Although we hadn't know n ea ch other very long, we wo rked efficiently as a team to meet o ur fundraising target.

A ll students were asked by the SLT t o bring in various items for th e re fu gee families who lost th eir ho mes in a devastating fire. We worked with the homeroo m representatives and it wa s a huge success for our year level an<>i for the w ho le school.

Another major event we helped organise was Founder's Day. It was very student based and we were heavily involved in the planning with M r Salmic. We worked together contribut ing different ideas into making the day a success. Th e Year 10 students were excited to have t he opportun ity to participate in the games on stage. The SLT were the judges w hich was q uite a fun task, the Year 10 SLT representat ives were counting the Loyola Teams score, who won the competition I Seeing my year level contribute to the successful SLT fundraise rs and part icipate enthusiastically in the activities we have o rganised has been extreme ly rewa rding. Sharing the role wit h N icole has also been a p leasure as we have been able to suppo rt and rely on each other and it is makes this ro le easier having someone to bounce ideas around with .

The opportun ity for Julia Badawi and me to be Year 10 Leaders on the Student Leadership Team has enabled us to create a much more posit ive, resilient and understanding mindset. It provided me an opportunity to help our year level be the best it could be even when the re were obstacles to overcome.

Being a student leader is more than a badge and title. Being a student leader is about being supportive and compassionate, it means sacrificing for others and pitching into help with food d ri ves, sporting events and generally within the College community. Being a leader is not about te lling the team what to do'; its about guiding the team and doing the task with them.

Jul ia and I would like t o thank the amazing Year 10 students for their support, wonderful ideas and all the donations of canned food and cakes for our bake sales. Being a team leader is someth ing that I have loved and would encourage everyone to have a go.

Year 10 Reflection investigated the human impacts and the natural processes that are involved in the development and formation of the coastal environment. The beaches that we visited were Somers Beach, Cape Schanck and McCrae Beach.

The Shrine of Remembrance

Peer Support Reflection At the beginning of the year, Year 10 students volunteered to give a helping hand to the Year 7 students, just to show them around, introduce them to other Year 7 students in their peer support group and be a friendly face in the halls as they pass.

Each group had 7-8 Year 7 students with two Year 10 'buddies'. It went for a term and it was lots of fun I We did a range of activities together and learnt about each other more and more each session. T his program helps Year 7 students transition into secondary school extremely well as they get to meet new girls from different classes and have an older student to look up to and talk to them, if needed. I found the experience very enjoyable and I would definitely do it again if I had the chance.

On Wednesday 2 August, t he Year 10 students went on a field trip to the Shrine of Remembrance. It was a memorable excursion from which many feelings evolved. Despite the bitterly cold weather, walking around the Shrine was very special and it was beautiful to see all the monuments.

Throughout the day, we experienced the history of war and were educated about the Australians who fought for our country.

It was an amazing cultural experience and opened all of our eyes more to the effects and ferocity of war. It was a g reat experience for all of us and we all learnt something or experienced something we had not before.

Chloe Livy and Emily Le Page Community Service In Term 1, the Year 10 students were allocated a placement to participate in Community Service. It was a week of discovery and learning about one's own community. All students got to work in different places including Op shops, primary schools, aged care facilities, childcare and many others. This experience proved to be an amazing learning curve for many students as they developed beautiful bonds with new people and learnt about the importance of helping the community.

All girls who participated in Community Service found it an experience that they will never forget. It was very eye opening and humbling experience as we had never worked in this type of environment before.

It was great to learn shop-keeping skills and grow my confidence when working with others.

Sport It has been an incredible year this year for the Year 10 students in sport and we have done so much. We competed in multiple sporting events like swimming, athletics, netba ll, basketball and so many more.

Some students have done very well - like Eva Owen was intermediate swimming champion and came 5th in the triathlon, and Charlie Seive rs who was intermediate athletics champion. We also had the Inter basketball team win their tournament with Meg Stagoll winning MVP of that day, and the select inter school netball team qualifying for the intermediate schoolgirls' finals. Our Year 10 students were in so many more sports.

Sisters of Charity Retreat - Sydney The Sisters of Charity Street Retreat 201 7 was not only an experience I will neve r forget, but one which has fi lled me with love. It is not every day that we stop to thi nk about where we came from or why we exist.

We do not think about our affinity with every member of the human race. Hum an compassion exists but is often overridd en by greed or jealousy. The discovery of ourse lves is as important as the creation of ourselves. We do not question our everyday lives, often going through them without any sense of our true selves. Going to sch ool, work, uni - those are just the outside. In order to discover, we must venture furth er into who we are as a person and thE skill s o r talents we offer to the world.

T he Street Retreat really challenged me.

My materialistic views of the world seemed small when I prayed for those who did no t even have a home. My newfound spirit overrode my physical image. Through prayer and reflection, I was offered freedom; freedom from the laziness of everyday life, freedom from duty. We ha d a morning prayer and afternoon mag is circle every day. The magis circle w as a refle ct ive time in which we shared our days with oth er students from all around Australia who we re also on the retreat. I was astounded wit h the maturity and deep, soulful love we all held for one another. I learnt that life is not only about the physical; we are more th an our shell. Our pure existence is entwined with magic. The energy was electri c and unimaginably wholesome. We all stood together, not as students, but as peopl e.

Life is sacred. We are not just a drop in th e ocean, each of us is the ocean; our spirit is tangible, yet out of reach for most.

Our charism, much like the Sisters, is reflected in our actions - in our being. Wh at energy do we contribute to this world?

How does this reflect in our lives? " M ost look, but not al l see." It is important t o learn to see.

Sketching out a challenging problem on the wh iteboard can make the question a lot easier' Why do you think this is so?

Hope Transforms ... Mathematics This year, the College theme was hope tra nsforms . Around the t ime when this theme was made known to the whole Co ll ege community, the Year 12 Mathematical Methods class was learning about tra nsform ation matrices . They (sort of) worked out a way to spe ll out "hope transforms" in mathematical language:

How has hope actually transformed mathematics education at the College in 2017? Let us have a look at one case below: I am in Year 10, and there was one task (done in test conditions) which I thought was absolutely impossible to do. I sat there crying and I felt lost and helpless. A few days after the task, I went to see my teacher and told my teacher that I had probably failed. My teacher understood how I felt and explained to me why the task was seemingly impossible to do. Turns out that we were being trained to tackle tough, rigourous tasks, so that when we get to Year 12, we would be used to these tough conditions. Yes, I did freak out during this task, but now I know that when I face another challenging task, I would have had prior experience tackling such tasks. I know that when I get another seemingly impossible task, I may still feel overwhelmed, but I know I will not be intimidated by it.

What this student did after receiving her task back (she passed the task, by the way), was to come to lunchtime Maths Tutorials and dissect the task. She went over each question, looked at what theory, concepts and formulas would have helped her solve the prob lem, and sketched out the problems on the whiteboard: Using a whiteboard helps me see the problem better. Instead of it being just a chunk of numbers, I am able to sketch out the problem and see what information I'm missing, what information is required and how

Mr Kelly giving the Year 12 Specialist Mathematics class a clue, and the students writing down th e learning intention of this lesson.

A CAS calculator is an imp ortant tool from Year 9 onwards. But nothing b eats good old-fashioned hard work I

I can systematically link one procedure to the next.

After spending a few sessions in Maths Tutorials, this student was hopeful that she would be better prepared for the next challenging task.

Hope does not grow on trees. Hope does not just fall into one's lap.

As seen in the case above, hope needs to be actively creat ed. This hope has certainly transformed the abovementioned st udent. Will hope transform you?

In August , six Year 10 st udents: Gemma Schlegel, Sukhman Kaur, As hley Ramsey, Megan And erso n, Victoria Ru tte r and Annika Brugman entered the Spag hetti M achine Competitio n at M elbourne Unive rsity. Their challenge was t o design a machine that wo uld cru sh a ca n and also include a combination o f at least 12 energy transformations. The stude nts spent an enormous amount of time b rai nst orm ing , lea rn ing

about ene rgy tran sform ations, working collaborati.ve ly, designing and creating a machine to "Can it for the Planet".

The Girls Invent program has also been introduced th is year.

It is a program that inspires and motivates young women to believe that they too can become an innovator in the market place.

Girls Invent helps to develop a 'growth mindset ' by insp irin g self-be lief in o ur student s and is a results based program that helps to develop the STEM skills in our Year 8 and Year 9 students.

VC E Chemistry, Bi o logy and Ph ys ics have been able to o ffer the students high ly va lu ab le and engaging o pportu nities t o broaden t heir knowledge and skill s by attend in g wo rkshops at La Trobe University ali gned wi th their study designs.

Two of ou r top senior Science students, Charlotte M ikic and A lanna h Gaspari, attended t he Fo rum Dinner at M elbou rn e Un iversity's Newman College.

The guest speaker was Professor Karen D ay, w ho spoke abou t her career and lifetime passi o n t o solve prob lems in microb io logy and infectious di seases, contr ibuting t o global hea lth , and reflecting a commitment t o social justice.

Th e st udents have been g iven many opportun ities to extend themse lves beyond

th e classroo m by participating in compet itions. These ha ve included the NSW University's ICAS Science competition, the Science Olympiad, and t he Chem istry t itration compet it ion .

Other enrichment opportunities have included students visiting GTAC for a Gene-Tech confere nce, a tour of laboratories at M elbourne Univers ity, and visi ts to the An atomy Museum and the Victorian Space Science Edu cat ion Centre .

Later in th e year, seven very lucky st udents, across th e junior and sen ior school, wil l be participat in g in the NASA Space School run by the Allian ce of Girl s Schools Australia. W e look forward to hea ring of the ir adventures in the N ew Year.

In 2017 the Science department has conti nued t o offer enrichme nt opportunities for primary sch oo l students, both boys and girls, to have some exposure to a Science laboratory and join in some fu n by making slime, bath bombs and rockets, dissecting a brai n, fingerpr inti ng, forensic scien ce and physics.

Staff-Student debate was held in the Resource Centre.

English Our Year 7 and 8 students have enjoyed the chance to explore a range of texts in their English classes including My Sister Sif, Chinese Cinderella, Tomorrow When the War Began, Skel lig and a range of poetry. They were able to explore complex characters and themes and immerse themselves in their own creative writing.

Ou r passionate English staff have continued to share their love of al l things English with all students at Catholic Ladies' Co llege in both English and Literatu re classes. Throughout 20 17, our students have achieved a lot in developing their reading, writing, speaking and listening skil ls . In an increasingly digitalised world, we find the added challenge is t o keep our students interested in reading and writing .

At Years 9 and 10 a specific focus for our students was the worldwide experiences of prejudice.

Our Year 9 students specifically focused on Aboriginal Australian culture through their study of Boori Pryor's Maybe Tomorrow, John Pilger's Utopia and a range of Aboriginal poetry. They were lucky enough to hear from Bo ori Pryor himself. The Year 10 students were exposed to the great troubles faced in America's

south in their reading of To Kill a Mockingb ird and comparison with Mississippi Burning. It is wonderful to have the chance to discuss matters of the human cond ition and our girls continue to show a strong sense of justice and co mpassion for such issues.

Our Literature classes con tinued to closely analyse a range of texts in the senior

years including

works from Shakespeare, Conrad, Fitzgerald and many others. Our Literature students

Our Year 11 and 12 students tackled the challenges of the new study design for Eng lish, which has a greater focus now on comparative texts. Our Year 11 students had the opportunity to explore hope, loss, courage and the importance of relationships in their study of Triage and Look Both Ways.

This skill of comparing texts proved both challenging and rewarding for many of our Year 12 students who looked closely at Arthur Miller's The Crucible and Geraldine Brooks' Year of Wonders. The Year 12 students

continued to perfect language of expression.

Languages

It is o ften hard in Australia to un derstand and appreciate the import ance of learn ing a second language and this is something that we are constantly reminding our students about at C LC. A favourite quote of mine is: "One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way." We don't always know where languages wil l take us in the future but having the abi lity to open many d ifferent doors in life is an exciting prospect and one that needs thinking about as you go on your language learning journey.

20 17 has been anothe r busy and successfu l yea r for languages at CLC. Language Perfect continued to be a huge component of our languages program, with our stude nts answering hundreds of questions on their vocabulary and grammar each day. During the Language Perfect World Championsh ips CLC was able to achieve a world ranking of 175th, an Australian ranking of 116th and an amazing ranki ng of 35th in Victoria. Hopefully we can achieve an even greater resu lt next yearl Having the opportunity to travel to the country of the language that o ne is studying makes the language and the cu lture come alive for the students. At CLC our students are lucky t o have the oppo rtu ni t y to travel to Germany, Ita ly and In donesia every few years and immerse themselves in that language and culture. Towards the end of March both the In do nesian and Ita ly language tours departed for an exciting two-week adventure accompanied by Pak Sil, Bu Kh oo, Ms Guardian i, Senora Bartel ink,

Senora Salvitti and Mrs Evans. The studen ts had a life-changing experience and cre ate d memories that will never be forgotten and hopeful ly developed many new langu ag e skills that have helped students in their studies this year.

These

have been a variety o f events, excursions and incursions across all of th e yea r leve ls this year w hich are an important

been again, once It has, delightful to see so many CLC alumnae reconnect with the College this year. Our guest

speaker at International Women's Day was Senior Environmental Social Scientist at CS IRO in Townsville, Dr N adine M arshal l (CLC 1986) who spoke about her work and the incredib le gratitude she still has for many o f her C LC teachers. Dr Liz Conor (CLC 1983) author, columnist, researc her and a very passionate community ou r addressed campa igner Founder's Day assembly. In October glass artist M ariella M cKin ley opened the VCE Art Exhibition.

A most memorable visitor to t he Co ll ege t his year was 101 year o ld alumna Nita M ussett (nee Lanteri, CLC lat e 1920s). Year 12 and Year 7 students were privileged to have Nita visit them in their classrooms. She, in turn, was most impressed by the way learning had progressed since she was at school . N ita's best memo ry of school was that she was able to learn at CLC because 'there were no boys to pull my hair'.

Reunions were he ld throug hout t he year at a variety of venues, concluding with t he 50 year reunio n for t he Class of 1967, held at the Pa rk Hyatt - whi ch currently st ands on the former site of CLC East Melbourne. It is always wonderful to see former students reconnect , often after not having seen one another for a very long time, as life takes them in d ifferent directions.

Humanities In Humanities, we look at the way people organise their lives and make decisions in time and in place. It is about us.

Hum an ities provides a forum where the most d iffi cult problems facing human lives can be examined. It he lps people become we ll -rou nded - being able to understand themselves and the world in which they live.

Humani t ies develops universal ski ll s that are app li cable to the full range of occupations and are in great demand by employers.

Humanities teaches people to have : • • • •

knowledge about the world flexibility of thought the ab ility to work in teams, co-operatively the abi lity t o interpret, ana lyse and synthes ise data • the thinking skills to cont ribute to the identification, prediction, ana lysis and solving of problems • the abi lity to present information using ICT ski ll s At each o f our year levels, we aim to challenge, engage, stimulate and support our students in their study of Hum anities.

Year 7 students focus on the study of ancient civ il isations, water as a resource, civics and citizenship and liveability.

Medieval Day At Year 9 students study Australia's political and legal systems, the history of 19th centu ry Australia, including our partic ipation in WW1, rura l environments and they exa m ine the many ways that peop le are con necte d across the globe. A highlight of the year was when the Year 9 students travelled to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, to study the experience of the Chinese men who migra ted to the Aust ralian Goldfields to fi nd their fo rtun e. In their Humanities classes, the gi rls exami ned the way that the Chinese were tre ated by the authorities and nonChinese miners, when they travelled to the Victorian G o ldfields, and when t hey joined the other miners searchin g for gold. T hey examined visual and written evidence from the time being studied and learnt about the attitudes and be liefs of the people living in those t imes. For their study of Geography, the st udents travelled to various locations within the Ya rra Va ll ey to examine how people have altered the natu ral biomes of the region to produce products such as fruit, timber, flowers and clean water.

Year 10 Geography- Coastal Management

Fieldwork VCE students select from a range of subjects, including Geography, Histo ry of Revolutions, Business Management, Accounting, Legal Studies and Austra lian and G lobal Politics. Excursions to field work loca t ions, such as the Great Ocean Road, Kinglake N ational Park and Phi llip Islan d for Geography or to the United N at ions student conference at La Trobe Un iversity for Global Politics, provided the students with opportunities to extend their cla ssro om study to the real world.

Year 7 Geography - Liveability Excursion

Year 8 students study the medieval world in Europe and Japan, mountainous environments, changing nations and are introduced to the world of business and finance. A highlight of t he year was when the students immersed themse lves into the medieval wo rld, through their participation in M edieval D ay. Thi s was a day where the girls were encouraged to dress up in medieval costumes and specialists were invited to the Co ll ege to run a variety of activities with a medieval focus. The girls we re able to participate in games and dancing, archery, gain a deeper understanding of medieval crime and punishment, and learn about and create medieval arts and crafts. This theme day was designed to provide the girls with an authentic experience of the period being studied, by allowing them to participate in activities tha t p rovided an insight into aspect s of the lives of the people living in those times.

Sports Co-Captains Report 2017 has been a year of accomplishmen t wit h lots of talent demonstrated on the sporting fields for Catho lic Ladies ' College, and with an extensive variety of sports in the interschool sporting program.

The contribution from students moved to another level, and the diverse talents and skills of our athletes were put on show for all to see.

Being Sports Co -Captains for 2017 has been a very enjoyable and valuable experience.

This position in leadership has enabled us to grow and develop our leadership skills and to obtain qualities that we will carry and use throughout life. There has been continuous support throughout the journey, from both students and teach'ers. It's comforting and heart warming to know that if you or another student has an idea they would like to pursue, that the sports faculty and College staff will support and offer suggestions and guidance to help achieve the desired outcome. Ao-particular highlight of ours th is year would be becoming close and making new friends within the leadership team .

Being a part of the leadership team has been 72

Patrick Cronin Foundation W hitefriars versus CLC Netball Match

a great experience, by knowing that if we, or another student, had an idea or suggestion that it could be openly discussed, and also with many students offering to help in any way they can. This, in particular, was shown to us when the Patrick Cronin Charity N etball Match was run. This was where, in good spirits, the Year 12 Whitefriars' students attended the match and played against the Yea r 12 C LC st udents. Every Student Leadership Team member suppo rted t he fundraiser offering help in any area they could, such as collecting entry donations or bringing a product for the cake stall. This contributed to the success of the day, raising approximately $800. Th is was an outstanding resu It. Our House Swimming and Athlet ics carnival were both filled with house colours, fun, and w ith athletes demonstrating their outstand ing sk il ls. For the first time this year, we had our very own House Cross Co untry carnival. This saw athletes running, jogging or walk ing around the three kilomet re track in good sp irits and enjoying themselves with their friends. Thank you to all the staff members who battled for the win, in the

Staff vs Students matches through o ut t he year. These days bring so much laughter and happiness to all of the students . W e t hi nk the staff team this year had us covered at the end of the year. Good luck to the stud ents next year who battle for glory again st the staff.

We celebrated the fourteenth year of t he Sports Prese ntat ion evening, to acknowledge all students who have participated in sp ort this year. We were particularly fortunate to have M iss Me lissa Duncan, (Athleti cs 1SOOm ath lete) as our guest speaker. It was very inspirat ional to hea r Melissa talk about her journey and the commitment she has had to put in over the years. What an achie vement I We would highly recommend to anyone conside ring leadership to apply and get involved in the thinking, planning and execution of ideas in a comfortable and fr iendly environment such as that of the Student Leadership Team.

M rs Falvo t aught a range of subjects in Food Techn o logy and the Arts, adapting to new subje cts with energy and enthusiasm . She b ought an in-dept h knowledge and commitment to all aspects of her students' learning. Mrs Falvo has supported, guided and encouraged students to achieve their best and explore their creativity. With a love of fashion and food, she has insti ll ed and shared her passions wit h her students and the wider school community. Over the years, her ded ication extended to the OHS Co mm ittee, Uniform Committee, and seven years in leadership as Head of Technology. M rs Falvo also created fun in learning, A M aster Chef competition at lunch time was a huge success with the stude nts cheer ing each other on and the gnocchi making coo ki ng class for parents was enjoyed by all. In 2002 CLC celebrated its Centenary Year and, under Mrs Falvo's tuition, her Year 8 text iles class created a wonderfu l collection of unique student and Sisters of Charity dolls weari ng past, present and futuristi c unifo rms from across the centenary and beyond. The dolls are on permanent display in the Year 8 area and are a lasting legacy of t he Col lege history and Mrs Falvo's vision. We wish Mrs Loretta Falvo all the best for her retirement - travelling and spending t ime with family.

Ms Janet Twigden It is with appreciation and gratitude that we sadly say farewell to Ms Janet Twigden who is retiring from Catholic educat ion after 27 yea rs. Ms Twigden began at Catholic Ladies' College in 1989 as an Arts and Textiles teacher and t oo k o n th e role as Art Coordinator. Her creativ ity, love and passion for the Arts were evident in her teaching p ractices and presentati on of student art works. She inspired, encouraged and enriched students to confidently express themselves and to achieve the ir full potential. From 2005 until 2011, Ms Twigden was appointed to the position of Middle Years Coord inator. She worked t irelessly with st aff, parents and students to provide excellent leadership. Ms Twigden enthusiastica ll y embraced many aspects of school life and p articipated in Pastoral Care, Teaching & Learning Committees, Internation al Tea cher Exchange Programs, Year 7 Integrated Stud ies progams, Camp programs, Peer Support & Conflict Resolution Programs . Her approach t o all aspect s of her leadership and teaching has been exemplary and she has earned the respect of bot h staff, students and parents. We thank Ms Janet Twigden for the many contributions she has made to Catholic Ladies ' College and we wi sh her well as she begins this new phase in her life.

Mrs Mary-An ne Mannix Mrs Mary-Anne M ann ix's love of Catholic Ladies' College began when she was a student at C LC, East Melbourne. Mrs M annix is a passionate educator, wi t h a great love of learning which she has sha red with many students throughout her tea ching career. During 1994 - 2005, Mrs M annix taught students English, Religious Education and Lit erature. As Director of Fa ith D evelopment, she brought g reat spiritual depth to all aspects of College life. Liturgies we re celebrated with joy and meani ng, inclusive of all in the community. M rs M annix returned to C LC in 2011 and was appointed Catholic Identity and Liturgy Leader, 2013 and Director of Catholic Identity and Mission in 2014 and 2015. Since 20 16, she has taken on the role of Ch arism Companion. Mrs M annix's love of the Sisters of Charity and their Founder, M ary Aiken head, is seen in the commitment she has made to brin ging alive the story for ou r community today. This year M rs Mannix's significant contributions to the relig ious and spiritual life of t he College were celeb rated at the Year 12 Retreat, her 25th student retreat over her special te aching career. We are most gratefu l for all t hat Mrs Mary-Anne Mannix has given to this community over the yea rs and the wonderf ul role model she has been for both staff and students. We wish her al l the best for her retirement .

Mrs Cheryl Beard M rs Cheryl Bea rd was initially emp loyed on a part-t ime basis in 1996, undertaking secretarial tasks in the administrati o n office.

M rs Beard often recalled th at at this time she had to manual ly enter codes into a database for the student reports , for which the code resulted in a comment or outcome. Fortunately, technology changed and Mrs Beard's adaptability met the dem ands of her role. Her abili ty to prio riti se tasks t o meet deadlines and her friendly demeanour to support ou r professiona l staff was excepti onal. She was always willing to work additional time to respond to the needs of the College community. Fro m the beginning of th e 2005 school year, Mrs Beard was employed in a fu ll-time capacity, moving to the position of Assistant t o Deputy Prin cipals and then in D ecembe r 2012 was appointed as the Principal's Personal Assistant. Mrs Beard was assistant to both M rs M argaret McKenna and Mrs Stephanie Evans, and upheld this position with diplomacy, confi dentiality, respect and t rust. M rs Beard always upheld the values of the Siste rs of Charity and has a very special connection to the College. She was respected by all st aff members and will be sorely missed. We wish M rs Cheryl Beard a happy and fulfilling retirement. beginning of the 2005 school year, M rs Beard was employed in a fu ll-time capac ity, moving to the position of Assistant to

Mrs Maureen Emslie After 13 yea rs at CLC, M rs M aureen Emslie is retiring.S he is wish ed all th e best wi th all the new opportuni t ies, fam ily time and adven tu res retirement brings. She has been a valuable member of Student Services where she assisted students with th eir learning.

She was dedicated to running Circle of Friends, a social opp o rtun ity afforded to students so that they felt safe, valued and connected at school. She assisted students in numerous ca mps and excursions and ran many morning intervention classes. A big thank you for all she have given the College community.

For many, this week reinforced their desired career path with positive and engaging activities, motivating them to continue working towards their career goals.

All of these wo nderful activities have cont ributed to the students' ongoing development and experiences of being part of a caring and nurturing environment at CLC.

Thi s past year I have spent as a Year 11 student leader has been my favou rite year spent at the CLC so far. I have learnt so much about resilience, respect for my peers and also how to work with other gi rls from different year levels - all of wh ich I have loved and enjoyed every second of.

This year we have achieved so much in assist ing to organise football days, staff versus student s activities, fundrais ing events, school Fou nder's D ay and so many oth er positive experiences. All occas ions have been so much fun to organ ise and we have all had such a good time getting to participate in each event as much as we cou ld and to get to know one another.

Eac h student I ha ve wo rked with has inspired me in a different way through her kindness and cou ra ge in being one of the leading vo ices at the College.

I would recommend fo r anyone to participate in any leadership role/s they possibly can throughout their six years spe nt at C LC, because even the smal lest

impressive new coffee machine at the beginning of the year, the Year 12 VCAL students were able to practise the skills they acquired from training at the Australian Barista School in the city. The Year 11 class have recently received barista qualifications as well and are working under the wings of their Year 12 counterparts in order to take over from them in 2018. The Coffee Project has allowed the st udents to satisfy out comes in Work Re lated Skills, Personal Development Skills and Numera cy. The opportunities to work as a team, ba lance books, solve problems and deliver a popular service have been invaluable.

Several students have included off ca mpus training into their VCAL pathway. Courses included: • Visual Arts • Animal Studies • Allied Health

• Early Childhood Education • Retail • Laboratory Skills

Media Team

Mrs Lynn Mason Caritas Coordinator It is with great pride that I present this 2017 edition of the Caritas Magazine. In our ever changing technological environment, I hope that this traditiona l magazine not only becomes an important CLC archival document but a lasting memory of the year in the life of our community.

Much has been accomplished and there is much for each of our students, staff, alumni and fami lies to be proud of. As I present this 15th edition of the Caritas, I am once again astounded at what our community has achieved in a year.

We are blessed with many capable and skilful staff and gifted and courageous students.

This year has also seen significant work behind the scenes at CLC as we examined, reflected and acted upon our strengths and opportunities. With open minds

and optim ism, we are head ing into a bright and positive future, focusing on our vision and purpose with lots to look forward to. Looking to that future, the Magazine Team has now become the Media Team. For the past two years the team has been excited ly working on the ir own st udent blog site whic h is ga ining momentum as a popular forum wh ich enab les t he students to engage and interact.

We have recen tl y relau nch the site former ly known as " The Hub" to a new, improved and mo re use r friendly site named " The Loop".

This has been met with great excitement and we hope that interest wil l continue to grow in the site.

I would particularly like to thank and farewell Year 12 students Claire N ugent and N atalie Hackett who, since Year 7, have been linchpin members of the Magazine Team and more recently the Media Team. For the past four years, Nata lie's skills as our intrepid, official student photographer have been inva luable.

I hope you enjoy N atalie's collage pages and all that the Ca ritas represents fo r 2017.
