Vision and Mission VISION “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”

— John 10:10

Inspired by the life of Christ, our Presentation Heritage and the Salesian Charism, Nagle College is a Catholic community that welcomes, builds strong relationships, evangelises and prepares young people for life.

MISSION So that all members of the Nagle College community can live out the College motto ‘Let Your Light Shine’, we will: • Develop a safe, nurturing and hope-filled community based on Christ’s message of love, justice and service • Provide innovative, inclusive and engaging educational pathways that enable students to develop their potential to become lifelong learners in the 21st Century • Build a culture that promotes and accepts personal excellence • Be people of dignity, respect, compassion, resilience and unconditional love • Be conscientious stewards of the environment • Continue to build sustainable relationships with faith communities, other educational institutions, and community organisations and businesses • Create leadership opportunities and provide formation for all members of the College community • Celebrate the traditions and rituals of our Catholic Story.

“A faith-filled learning community striving for excellence”

4th October 2022 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Grace and peace to you all.

As I commenced writing this piece for your College year book, I could not help but think back over the past twelve months and consider the momentous events that have occurred in our world, our country and here in our own Diocese. Together we have prayed for peace in a world troubled by war, civil unrest, and injustice, we have walked beside those who have been challenged by the pandemic and other natural disasters, and we have supported those in our community who have been affected by economic downturn.

In my journeying around the Diocese, including my visits to each Secondary College to meet with Year Eight students, I was filled with hope at the optimism I saw in our young people and in their willingness to look beyond themselves to the greater good. During these visits I met with College captains and school leadership teams and was impressed by the vision for Catholic education that these groups articulate and live in our schools. For two centuries now, the mission of the Church has been supported by Catholic schools in Australia. Over the years this support has taken different forms, yet the mission remains the same – to help community members come to know Jesus and be inspired by his life and message. This mission is in capable hands in your school.

Other things that have given me hope and helped me lift my eyes beyond the immediate include our work in the Australian Plenary Council, and our Diocesan contribution to the Synod called by Pope Francis. Many of you may have contributed to the process of the Plenary where we placed our trust in the Holy Spirit to continue to guide the work of the Church in helping all come to know of the love of God. The Plenary was a huge step forward for the Church in Australia as it has enabled all of us to experience the call of Pope Francis to be a synodal Church which journeys together as a pilgrim and missionary People of God. Pope Francis reminds us that a personal relationship with Jesus enables a person to look at the whole of reality in a radically new way, granting the person and the Church an ever-renewed identity. Our school communities are called by Francis to engage with the fundamental questions of our age with the principles of the Gospel providing schools with their motivation and final goal. Foundational to this is the pastoral work of the broader Christian community. In this, Catholic schools in the Diocese of Sale are called to be schools for all, especially the weakest members of society.

It is a particular strength of our schools to offer companionship and support to students and community members, allowing opportunities for learning and time for formation, for acquiring notions and growing in wisdom. Our schools are responsible for ensuring respect for the life, dignity and freedom of students and other members of the school community, working to ensure all necessary procedures are in place to promote and protect students and the most vulnerable.

It is both my hope and my prayer that each of you feel welcome and supported on your personal journey of faith and learning in your school. I thank you for your personal contribution to the life of your school and community, and encourage you to continue to be fully formed for your life beyond the gates of your school.

With every grace and blessing.

Let your light shine

IN THE EAST

ANNUAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

The pages of this annual magazine are clear evidence of outstanding academic achievement, success in a range of sporting pursuits, as well as blossoming talent in art, music, drama, public speaking, singing, debating, design, craftsmanship and care for the environment. We can find reference to participation in activities with a focus on service to others, the growth of leadership qualities in our young and the opportunities to connect with the environment and Australian outdoors.

The strategic intent remained: To develop expert teacher capacity and achieve accelerated rates of student learning.

Parallel with the growth of our young people is the growth of the school itself. We have an evolving sense of Catholic identity and culture. We consider ways of expressing what Nagle is and endeavours to be in word, symbol and action through the decisions we make and in the way we go about doing things. We commenced the year with 169 Year 7 students in their seven classes. Additionally, there were 23 students commencing at other year levels and 12 new teachers.

COVID We began the year with students required to wear masks indoors. RAT test kits were provided throughout the year, although there was a shortage in the early weeks and students were encouraged to test twice a week. The Year 7 Camp had to be cancelled. As the year progressed there were pressures on staffing as absences were high due to COVID and other illnesses. We were prepared to have some Year levels study from home but fortunately we were able to avoid this. In June student absences with COVID peaked at just over 100. Primary school Expo visits in term 2 had to be cancelled due to the level of staff absenteeism.

4 | Nagle College 2022

Our Annual Improvement Plan highlighted a range of goals: • To implement the new senior RE program – Shine • To promote prayer and social justice across the school • To build deeper knowledge of progressions of learning • To share expert teacher practice • To further develop understanding of data analysis • To promote student voice • To review timetable structures • To build teacher capacity to effectively manage student classroom conduct • To continue to promote child safe practices • To progress the new Performing Arts Centre project • To commence the design of the VCAL / VM Centre.

PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE PROJECT After an extended period of designing and planning the building of the new Performing Arts Centre commenced and is making steady progress in a challenging period for building projects. Additionally new covered netball / basketball facilities and bus / car park area are being progressed. The new completion date is July 2023. The music rooms have been refurbished and students have already moved back into these learning areas.

YEAR 12 RESULTS Our 2022 Year 12 students have demonstrated resilience and determination to successfully complete their secondary education. The outcomes for students were impressive for the 99 students studying the VCE and the 15 students studying the VCAL. All students successfully completed these certificates.

It was pleasing that 10% of students achieved an ATAR above 80. These scores were backed up by the whole student population with 76% achieving an ATAR over 50.

Keira O’Neill was the VCE dux of Nagle College for 2022.

She achieved an outstanding ATAR of 98.65. We are delighted for Kiera who achieved a perfect study score of 50 in both Health and Human Development and in Psychology. Kiera is looking forward to an exciting and busy 2023.

It was also pleasing to see many students achieving study scores over 40 across a range of subjects including Chemistry, History: Revolutions, Religion and Society, Further Mathematics, and Physical Education.

We are also very proud of the significant group of students who completed their VCAL certificates this year. Students who have been undertaking applied learning programs through VCAL have achieved outstanding outcomes with many students gaining full time employment, apprenticeships and traineeships.

At the Valedictory Dinner it was announced that Chelsea Beechey was the dux of the VCAL cohort. She has already gained employment in the Real Estate industry.

SALESIAN STRENNA

UNIFORM

The theme for this year came directly from the writings of St Francis de Sales (1567 – 1622) the person Don Bosco decided to call his group of priests after. St Francis inspired Don Bosco and this year was the 400th anniversary of St Francis death.

Parents were surveyed about the option of students wearing the rugby top as part of the everyday uniform. 94% of the 375 parent responses supported the proposal. The change was approved and commenced in Term 3. We rarely achieve such a high level of response from parents – it was reassuring to know emails to the parent community are read.

Our theme was “Do all through love, nothing through constraint” and we were encouraged to do all through love - love of God and love of neighbour. St Francis encouraged an openness and warmth towards people. He promoted relations between people which avoided a stiffness of manner and we were encouraged to do the same.

CHILD SAFETY Child Safe Standards were introduced in Victoria in 2016. A revised set of Child Safety standards came into effect on July 1st. There are now 11 Standards in place in Victoria. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing culture for all our students. At Nagle we are committed to: •

Upholding the primacy of the safety and wellbeing of children and young people

•

Empowering families, children, young people and staff to have a voice and raise any concerns

•

Implementing rigorous risk-management and employment practices.

BISHOP’S VISIT Nagle College was delighted to host Bishop Greg Bennet for the first time since his arrival in the Diocese of Sale. Bishop Greg held meetings with each Year 8 class to talk about his work and to answer any student questions.

He also officially blessed our new Cross, The Risen Christ, overlooking the Mitchell River and its flood plain. We very much appreciated the time he spent with us.

The new cross includes a wooden inlay from the previous cross and is a constant visual reminder to anyone in this part of our Catholic school that we exist to promote and build the kingdom of God.

VCE VOCATIONAL MAJOR The course which has been traditionally known as VCAL has been rebranded as Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major – VCE VM. This new course will commence next year. We have found the VCAL program to have served the needs of our applied learners very well.

2023 TIMETABLE STRUCTURE After a period and process of review, next year we will move from four sessions to five periods per day. The day will operate with two periods, a break, two periods, a break and one period to end the day. The new periods will run for 60 minutes.

This change recognises contemporary educational thinking and practice to maximise learning time. We tend to find the level of productivity is low in the last 10 to 15 minutes of a session. This has particularly been the case since remote learning.

SCHOOL ADVISORY COMMITTEE This year we welcomed new Chairperson Mrs Samantha Bishop and new Committee member Mrs Alison Turner.

A range of policies were considered and discussed over the course of the year. Each of the eleven new Victorian Child Safe Standards were on ongoing focus at meetings. Towards the end of the year Mr Gary Pini, Mrs Jill Filmer and Mrs Alison Truner tended their resignations. We thank each of them for their generous contributions to the College.

NEW AWARD The Diocese (DOSCEL) and the Teacher Union (IEU) have agreed on conditions for a new Award. Currently a fulltime teacher has 20 hours of face to face teaching. The new award determines 19 hours face to face in 2023 and 18.5 hours commencing in 2024. There will be limits to the amount of time teachers will be involved in meetings and activities such as camps and excursions will attract time-in-lieu / pay for additional hours.

GRADUATION DAY It was fabulous to be able to hold a full Graduation Day – particularly for our Year 12 students but also for the rest of the student body. More than half the school – Years 7, 8 and 9 had not had the opportunity to experience what is possibly the most significant single day or event we hold that demonstrates to students that they are part of something bigger than themselves and promotes a sense of belonging. It was pleasing to see so many parents, family members and past students present on the day.

FUN4FOURS We had our first adventure day for local Grade 4 students from the local primary schools for three years. With over 230 visitors it was our most successful. Our Year 10 and 11 students running the program did a wonderful job and the Grade 4s had a ball.

ANOTHER CHALLENGING YEAR After the last two interrupted years and the accompanying challenges it was reasonable to expect this year, being

interruption free, would be a much more “normal” year and yet there is much to suggest this has been the hardest year of the pandemic.

Staff have persevered in supporting students as they adjusted to the new dynamics of the pandemic and the continuity of once again being face to face for the full year.

As the year ended we recognised and celebrated the significant contributions of some long serving members of staff who have made the decision to retire.

Mrs Andrea Savage after 19 years of teaching science and initiating the rainforest project and being the champion of environmentally sustainable education at the College.

Mr Peter Cheung after 30 years of teaching physics and science.

He is renowned for his expertise and passion for physics.

Mr Geoff Neeson after 33 years including 17 years as Deputy Principal – Curriculum. Geoff has a deep love and passion for Nagle College and all things Mathematics.

We have been very fortunate to have had staff like Geoff, Peter and Andrea who have made such long standing contributions to the College and shaped the areas in which they have worked in very significant ways.

Thanks to all students, parents / guardians and staff for your efforts throughout the year.

We look forward to the Christmas break, a chance to renew and refresh ourselves and optimistically anticipate the new year.

Let your light shine

Pastoral Mrs Sharon Buurman, Deputy Principal - Pastoral

In 2022, we were blessed with a full year of on-site learning, allowing us to celebrate milestones and traditions with our College community. Much has been written about community and connectedness and its importance to wellbeing. Certainly, this has been brought to the forefront in recent years when reflecting on the pandemic, a time where connections may have been lost or altered.

Schools are communities. Friendships are formed and successes and challenges are shared. In doing so connectedness and therefore wellbeing is enhanced.

The Salesian Charter for Australian Schools sets out a vision for schools to be a welcoming place, a playground where friends meet and enjoy themselves, a school that prepares for life and a parish that evangelises. Central to this charter is the notion of community. School should be welcoming, students should know the presence of God’s love, a place where friendships are formed, and students are prepared to enter the world as “good Christians and honest citizens”.

I am always amazed by how the friendships formed at Nagle last well beyond graduation and how our community comes together to support each other. This year was another example of our students exemplifying the school wide expectations of respect and responsibility as they reached out to connect and care for each other.

This connects well to our Salesian Strenna “do all through love, nothing through constraint”. As part of living out this Strenna, our challenge in 2022 was to make sure that all we did came from a place of love, and we worked together to shine love into our world. Our actions should come from the heart. There were many examples of this at Nagle throughout 2022.

2022 HIGHLIGHTS We began the year with the induction of our new student leaders and the acknowledgement of our high performing VCE students from 2021. A new leadership structure for

The Student Leadership Action Team discuss their mentorship program for Junior students.

House Captain positions was introduced with Years 7–10 Captains and Senior House Captains for Years 11 & 12.

Additionally, the structure for the Student Leadership Action Team was revised. Thank you to our 2022 student leaders, led by Brady and Melody. You have enhanced our College in many ways.

Our student leaders worked with College staff and students to make Nagle College an even better school. Some of their initiatives included a fundraising day to promote anti-bullying, the introduction of rugby jumpers as an alternative to the traditional College jumper and input into child safety matters.

The Inter-House competitions were hotly contested starting with the Swimming Carnival in February. Throughout the year our Houses competed in a range of events. It was great to see House spirit alive and well.

Child safety and wellbeing continued to be a key component on our pastoral program. The Positive Behaviour Team continued its work with staff, students and specialist support staff from DOSCEL to implement the key universal elements of the Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour Support.

In March, Nagle College joined schools Australia-wide to take a stand against bullying and violence. The theme for 2022 was “Kindness Culture” promoting inclusiveness, respect and community belonging for all students.

School TV was launched in April. This wellbeing resource for families, set up in consultation with Dr Michael CarrGreg, provided resources across all areas of mental health to schools and families.

In May the student leaders held an out-of-uniform day in support of Dolly’s Dream Foundation. Students were asked to wear blue on the day and bring in a gold coin donation to support Dolly’s Dream. Support was outstanding, with students raising $1,267. To make the day more meaningful, Year 12 students prepared small gift packs and notes which were distributed to students.

The out-of-uniform day also coincided with other studentled initiatives including presentations at assemblies and a mentorship program between the school captains and junior students.

decades’. Student leaders changed the format of the activity which allowed all students to participate in the trivia quiz through an interactive Kahoot quiz. Congratulations to MacKillop House for taking out first place.

New child safe standards were introduced this year and a number of new Policies were introduced.

Our students have been actively involved in fundraising, specifically gold coin donations to nominated charities.

Proceeds have been directed to Project Compassion, Dolly’s Dream, St Vincent de Paul and Catholic Mission.

Brainstorm Productions presented The Hurting Game to all Year 8 students in July. Their live theatre experience explored the skills needed to cope with life’s challenges and build meaningful connections. Students were encouraged to think about how they treat themselves and others both online and offline. The presenation also provided strategies for breaking unhealthy behaviour patterns.

LSC Brooke Johnson, Youth Resource Officer from Bairnsdale Police, addressed students in range of year levels about child safe issues and how the law relates to them.

Topics covered included sexting and sextortion, digital reputation, consent, bullying, how the law changes when a young person turns 18, drugs and driving offences. I would like to thank LSC Johnston for organising and delivering these child safety presentations.

Founders’ Day was celebrated in August. On this day we recognised the inspiration of our House Patrons, Nano Nagle and St John Bosco. The day commenced with Mass, followed by our Inter-House Cross Country Carnival. Following the Cross Country Carnival, students participated in a SSV Play Diversity Dash – a colour run that celebrated diversity. The focus on colour provides the opportunity to celebrate diversity amongst the school community and the engagement of all students no matter their background, gender, or ability.

The Battle of the Minds was organised by the Student Leadership Action Team and was themed around ‘the

In October we celebrated the Year 12 Graduation. A number of events took place including a Graduation Breakfast, House Graduations and Graduation Mass.

A Year 12 Valedictory Dinner was held in November. This formal celebration included toasts and speeches by our 2022 College Captains and the presentation of Year 12 Academic Excellence and Merit Awards and Nagle College Major Awards.

I would like to thank the Nagle College staff for their dedication and enthusiasm. A special thank you to the wellbeing staff; School Coordinators, House Coordinators, counsellors, and pastoral staff who have worked tirelessly throughout the year to support our students.

God Bless, I wish all members of our college community a joyous and holy Christmas.

Learning and Teaching Ms Elaine Vertriest, Deputy Principal – Learning and Teaching

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

“The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation.”

– Nelson Mandala 2022 was a more settled year in education with no incidences of remote learning despite COVID and other sickness interruptions. We continued to be resilient and relished in the many face-to-face opportunities such as workshops, sports carnivals, assemblies, masses and Founders’ Day, just to name a few, to celebrate learning to the full and to try to forget the trials and tribulations presented by the ongoing pandemic.

Our experiences from 2022 provide us with hope in a more stable future in learning and teaching.

STAFF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING Our ‘Critical Challenge’ continued to be our vision for Professional learning – To develop expert teacher capacity for targeted teaching, evidence based practice and collective efficacy to ensure students engage in quality learning experiences and achieve accelerated rates of progress over time?

the best possible learning experiences for the students, particularly around positive behaviour management and curriculum development • Working collegiately in Learning Teams and with the Diocese • Constant sharing, reflection and evaluation of teaching practices to actively support remote learning • The trial and full implementation of the adaptive NAPLAN tests online in Years 7 to 9 • Ongoing term workshops in Subject Learning and Literacy/Numeracy team spaces • Continued implementation of the attributes and expectations of an ‘Expert Teacher at Nagle’ • Accommodation of pre-service teachers.

TUTORING

Our main focuses centred around developing expert teacher capacity, particularly in Literacy and Numeracy, learning progressions and the whole school approach to positive behaviour support.

The State government tutoring funding continued in 2022 so under the Coordination of Mrs Michaela Ward, identified students received ongoing support to improve their learning outcomes in Literacy and Numeracy in class and out of class settings. Two staff received intensive training in the MacLit Program and have since implemented this program to support the reading ability of several students.

Other initiatives have included:

NAPLAN

• Continued learning opportunities enabling access to International and highly regarded speakers for education • Internal professional development in order to provide

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests are conducted each year in May across years 3, 5, 7 and 9. The tests assess the standards of Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar + Punctuation and

Numeracy across the country.

Our College goal for past four years has been to match the student growth shown by the State over the two years from Years 7 to 9. Our results across all areas last year saw significant growth, matching and exceeding that of the State. Another significant area of improvement has been the student growth across all percentiles (levels of ability), especially in the higher percentiles. In 2022, accurate student growth was not able to be calculated from Year 7 to 9 as NAPLAN was not conducted in 2020 and the tests are now all online and adaptive. Despite these new variables, we have also analysed the PAT data and Nagle students have shown their resilience and have maximised their learning opportunities, certainly upholding our College motto of ‘Let Your Light Shine’.

LITERACY/NUMERACY TEAM The Literacy/Numeracy team continued to be active in promoting these skill sets across the curriculum. 2021 NAPLAN and PAT question analysis for each of the tests by the team, set literacy and numeracy focuses for each term in

NATIONALLY CONSISTENT COLLECTION OF DATA (NCCD) We welcomed Ms Karyn Bryant and Miss Megan Quirke as the new Student Enrichment and Enhancement Department (SEED) Coordinators. They have been instrumental in guiding and supporting the staff to gain a more thorough understanding of the moderation and documentation processes that occur in order for all students to access and experience success with their learning.

with DOSCEL and NCCD teams from other schools in the Diocese.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander team have also actively continued to support the students and community.

Individual Learner Profiles are being developed for all indigenous students. The profiles provide insights for the staff to then offer the best possible learning outcomes for ongoing growth and development. The Koorie Educator from DOSCEL, Ms Peta Murray, introduced the new Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Education Action Plan in a workshop to the staff, unpacking how we can establish cultural links in our learning areas.

SUBJECT LEARNING LEADERS The Subject Learning Leaders have very successfully continued to promote collective efficacy and build expert teacher capacity. Ongoing team connections through regular meetings and discussions, ensure all staff felt supported and confident in the learning and teaching space.

The leaders have become very creative and innovative in the use of ICT across the curriculum since remote learning, continually learning from each other and ensuring ease of use and instruction.

The Critical Challenge was further developed with discussions around Literacy and Numeracy across the curriculum and inclusive practices.

NCCD teams were established for the yearly moderation process. Staff from each year level generously volunteered their time to complete this process, finding it valuable professional learning.

The SEED and NCCD teams, have worked tirelessly this year to ensure we cater for all learning needs and document the evidence associated with the learning adjustments made in all classes. This process has also involved consultation

Capital Works Mr Stephen Brill, Business Manager

2022 CAPITAL WORKS PROGRAM As reported previously, a new Master Plan was developed in 2019. In 2022 the first major priority project of the Master Plan was commenced together with planning for future projects.

LECTURE HALL/PERFORMING ARTS FACILITY (INCLUDING REFURBISHMENT OF THE EXISTING MUSIC BUILDING) This project was identified as the priority project within the new Master Plan. Construction commenced in December 2021 and will continue into 2023. While this project had been delayed significantly due to the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic together with significant rain events, significant progress has been made and it is expected to be now completed in mid 2023. The refurbishment of the existing Music Building has been completed and has been handed back to the school for use. We look forward to the completion of this major project in 2023.

ENTRY ROADS, BUS BAYS, CARPARK AND NETBALL COURT PROJECTS Included in the tender for the Lecture Hall/Performing Arts Facility project above was the redevelopment of the school entry road into the Presentation Hall Car Park including the provision of new Bus Bays and a new Car Park to complement the new Lecture Hall facility. This will separate pedestrian traffic from bus and car traffic and create dedicated parking bays for buses for afternoon pickup.

These will also serve as additional parking spaces for school events. Also included in this project is the construction of a new covered netball / basketball court adjacent to the Bus Bays which will also serve as a covered outdoor learning space and a shelter for students awaiting buses after school.

We expect these components of the project to be completed and available for use in early 2023.

VM CENTRE Another project identified in the 2019 Master Plan was the upgrade of the VCAL (now Vocational Major) facilities.

Planning for this project has commenced with the expectation that it will go to tender in 2023.

SOLAR SYSTEM During 2022 the College completed the installation of a 99.9kW Solar PV System. This system provides a significant reduction in consumption of electricity from the grid which will flow through to lower energy costs for the College for many years to come.

NEW CROSS – “THE RISEN CHRIST”: A new cross was installed during the year replacing a previous wooden cross that was deteriorating. The new cross, named ‘The Risen Christ’ is of steel construction and was officially blessed by Bishop Gregory Bennet on 25th August 2022.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY (ICT) The College continued its Student Laptop Program with the provision of a College issued laptop to all students, initially in Year 7 and again in Year 10. This continues to provide a high quality device to all students to enhance their learning.

Once again, due acknowledgement must be made of the property, maintenance and cleaning staff for their ongoing efforts to maintain and present the school facilities, both internal and external in a condition that we can all be proud of.

With construction underway for significant Master Plan projects, 2023 and beyond should see exciting new Capital Projects delivered at Nagle College that will continues to provide the environment where students are provided with every opportunity to explore and fulfil their potential and ‘Let Their Light Shine’.

School Advisory Committee Samantha Bishop, Advisory Committee Chair

It has been my honour to fill the role of Chair of the Advisory Committee for the first time in 2022. Reflecting on the past year, I would like to acknowledge everyone who has helped us shape the past twelve months at Nagle College.

It feels like we have finally started to move on from the COVID pandemic in 2022. Looking back to newsletters and Committee minutes from the first few months of the year, there was a focus on case numbers and RAT tests. While COVID is still in the backs of our minds today, its management has become more routine, using a combination of hard-won knowledge and common sense.

As a result, life is more “normal” than it has been in a long time.

This has lead to the welcome return of many College events and traditions, such as the swimming and athletics carnivals, the Presentation Ball, and a full Graduation Day for the Year 12 students. These have had a celebratory feel, reminding us of the importance of connecting face-to-face.

The Committee would especially like to congratulate the Year 12 graduating class of 2022. These young people weathered two challenging years of remote learning in 2020 and 2021 before having to re-adapt to life on campus for their final year. In November they were rewarded with an in-person Valedictory Dinner celebrating their achievements with their friends and family.

Good progress has also been made on building works for the new Performing Arts Centre and the refurbishment of the music rooms. While completion will be later than planned, these exciting new works should be finished by mid-2023. And we have seen the installation of a new “Risen Cross” on the hill overlooking the river, which was blessed by Bishop Greg in August.

The Advisory Committee has had a welcome return to “in person” meetings, supporting the Principal and Leadership team with a focus on: • exploring the new Child Safety Standards introduced in July, and considering their application to the College • reviewing and providing feedback on new school policies • reviewing and endorsing next year’s School fee structure, and • endorsing next year’s School budget.

Sadly, at the end of this year we have said goodbye to Committee members Jill Filmer, Gary Pini and Alison Turner. We thank them for their valuable contribution, and wish them well. Replacement appointments to the Committee will be announced in the New Year.

In the meantime, I wish all students, parents, teachers and staff well for the festive season. Please enjoy your Christmas break, and I look forward to seeing everyone in 2023.

Let your light shine

College Captains Brady Phelan and Melody Tomkins

It feels like yesterday that we were walking into Nagle in the frog green shirts, lost and confused of how daunting this new chapter in our lives will be. Here we are now as Year 12s. The last six years have flown past like no tomorrow, every day creating a new memory for us to cherish for ever – the first SAC in Year 11, the Presentation Ball with John and Sue telling us that we still need practice on the last rehearsal, and the time Stevo was wheeled off in a wheelchair to prove a point about the cricket game – it’s these memories that we will take with us.

To the younger year levels thinking that graduation day can’t come quick enought, trust me, it comes quicker than you think. You are your own engine, so keep powering on as it won’t be long until you too are standing here about to celebrate your time at Nagle.

Melody thank you for being the second half to keep me in line, the person I could speak to easily and without hesitation – you made this role easier and I hope I made it easier for you too.

2022 STUDENT LEADERSHIP ACTION TEAM

14 | Nagle College 2022

Our time at Nagle has shaped us from the young children we were in Year 7 to the young adults we are today – a great bunch of people I call mates. I hope these friendships continue after Nagle and that we are always there to support each other.

Let’s celebrate our time here. As we close this chapter and start a new one, maybe working towards that dream job, remember that it’s up to you to create your own path. I have no doubt that many of us will succeed to the highest of levels from brain surgeons to AFL superstars, and no matter what career we choose, we are all equally as important.

When referencing success, Michael Jordan said “some people want it to happen, some people wish it would happen and others make it happen”. Be the ones who make success happen and create your own future.

Take advantage of opportunities big and small. Each step you take is a step to success. If you get knocked down, get back up and fight harder. Like our Year 12 motto says – We can’t change the past, but we can, make the future.

We are

a home that welcomes

‘I came, I saw, I conquered’

2022 has been a great year for Avila House. This was my first year as Avila House Coordinator while Tracey Lucas is on leave. Avila also welcomed two new pastoral teachers this year, Nikita Dalal (A6) and Herman Badenhorst (A4).

It was great to have a relatively ‘normal’ year that was free of Covid restrictions and allowed all of our major events to take place.

Avila experienced some success in the sporting Carnivals this year. Whilst we didn’t win any of the Carnivals overall, we were able to win the House Spirit Trophy at the Swimming Carnival held in Term 1 and finished second overall in the Triathlon. Well done everyone.

Avila House has fantastic pastoral teachers and I would like to sincerely thank Dan Crowe A1, John Corby A2, Herman Badenhorst A4, Elizabeth Warden A5 and Nikita

16 | Nagle College 2022

Dalal A6 for all of their support and efforts towards myself and their pastoral students. I would also like to thank the House Captains for their leadership and work for the House and their fellow students this year. Claire Forrester, Cohen McLellan, Meg Perry, Zailey McLellan, Melinda Wood and Robbie Greene, thank you for your leadership of the House for 2022.

A special thankyou to Elizabeth Warden for answering my numerous questions and offering assistance as needed in my first year as Avila House Coordinator.

I wish everyone a happy and safe summer holiday and that you come to school refreshed ready for the new school year in 2023. I would also like to wish Tracey Lucas all the best as she takes over the Avila House Coordinator role in 2023.

As One We Have No Fear Bosco undoubtedly lived up to our motto “as one we have no fear” this year, performing with skill and expertise in many areas of school life including sporting carnivals, academic pursuits, performing arts and community events.

Undoubtedly, one highlight for the year would have been winning the 2022 Athletics Carnival. Student’s positive attitude and willingness to participate in track and field events clinched the win from Newman House. Special mention to our Athletics Age Champions James Kapolos, Max Boole, Jessica Grimstead and Mia Joiner. Bosco’s athleticism also extended to the Swimming and Cross Country carnival with Fabian Russo being awarded Age Champion at the Swimming Carnival and Jessica Grimstead for the Cross Country Carnival.

Students of Bosco House also supported the 2022 Talent Night by showcasing their many gifts and talents. Gea Burburan from year 8 impressed the crowd with her

22 | Nagle College 2022

rendition of “The Good Ones” and many other students submitted artwork for the photography section.

Bosco student’s commitment to their house was also showcased in our Graduation Ceremony where we farewelled our departing year 12 student. The relationships developed between the year 12’s and junior students was obvious through the genuine care and celebration shown to our graduates. To our graduating class of 2022 we wish you all the very best for your future endeavours and thank you for the contributions you have made to Bosco during your previous six years of schooling.

None of the above success would be possible without the wonderful care and support shown by our pastoral staff and I sincerely thank them for their ongoing assistance. To the students of Bosco, I thank you for another exceptional year and look forward to working with you in 2023.

Chisholm House Mr Aiden Giove – House Coordinator

Senior House Captains Brooklyn Bell Arliah Till

Emily Morton

If I was to describe the Chisholm cohort in three words it would be: proud, courageous and enthusiastic. Through involvement in academic competitions, sports events, music, drama, art and community projects, Chisholm students and staff have made us all extremely proud in 2022.

Students have been courageous in immersing themselves in the life of Nagle College. They have faced numerous challenges throughout the year emotionally and academically and as a House we have stuck together.

Chisholm House has an underlying feeling of care and responsibility, not only for themselves, but for each other, making 2022 a rewarding year for all involved in the House.

Our student leaders made a wonderful contribution to the House this year. I would like to congratulate Brooklyn Bell, Arliah Till, Emily Morton, Trae Alsop, Luis Wilson and Kiera Gibbs on the dedication, maturity and enthusiasm they have shown in 2022. Each of them played a significant part in many College and House events. These included House and College assemblies, Swimming and Athletics Carnivals and the farewelling of our graduate class of 2022.

They have been true representatives of our Chisholm motto ‘Come with Confidence’.

To the Year 12 Chisholm students, the House wish you all the very best for your future. Oliver, Oscar, William, Harrison, Paul, Fletcher, Shaun, Brooklyn, Bailey, Tom,

28 | Nagle College 2022

House Captains Keira Gibbs Trae Alsop

Luis Wilson

Natalie, Kirby, Alicia, Jemma, Sikha, Stephanie and Ash, you will always be welcome in Chisholm House, because you have played a big role in shaping your peers in this wonderful House.

Working with the Chisholm staff has been a highlight of the year for me. Personally, I would like to thank Mrs Dianna Beggs, Ms Annamaria Micati, Ms Elizabeth Trapnell, Mr Chris Feenane and Ms Briana Hassett, for being a great support in caring for our students. You have shown dedication to your approach to pastoral care. You have always been prepared to go beyond the call of duty and have been involved in all activities.

To the students, I cannot thank you enough. You have helped the House in different ways throughout the year.

Be it cheering, running, jumping, organising, cleaning, decorating or one of the other thousand things, you have all contributed in some way. Chisholm finished the year on a positive note placing first in the Nagle’s Got Talent night.

Main contributors came from Junior and Senior school which shows how strong Chisholm House can be.

We do not strive to be winners, we just strive to do our best and to be proud of what we do.

Chisholm House – look forward to another challenging, yet successful year in 2023.

MacKillop House Miss Celeste Campagna – House Coordinator

Senior House Captains Claire Woodland Brylee McMahon

Charlotte Bingley

House Captains Grace McKenna Jordan Raeburn

Indi Malcholm

2022 was yet another exciting year for MacKillop House.

We started the year off strong with our third consecutive win at the Swimming Carnival. Xander Borisenko, Zara Frost and Brylee McMahon each took out age champion.

The Athletics Carnival saw Ashleigh Forehan, Will Bromage and Sarah Faithfull win age champs. Founders’ Day and the Cross Country/Colour Run was a highlight of the year with three MacKillop students placing in their year level, Albie Clarke 1st Year 8 boys, Laz Tanner 1st Year 9 boys and Josh Dorling 2nd Year 10 boys. A big congratulations also goes to Alani McEntee supported by Hannah Perkins who took out first place in the House Acts Section of Nagle’s Got Talent 2022.

“MacKillop started off the year strong with a Swimming Carnival victory! And of course, it wouldn’t have been fair if we won everything, so our victories were limited for the rest of the year. Even so, great participation and show of House pride by students and teachers alike led to memorable days at the Athletics Carnival and Founders’ Day, especially for students who hadn’t seen these kinds of celebrations in their full scale for a few years. Nagle has a great range of ways for students to display their talents, and MacKillop always gets behind them. Nagle’s Got Talent, Inter-House Triathlon, Battle of the Minds – Everyone can get involved, and everybody does. That’s what makes me so proud to be in MacKillop.”

This year we were lucky enough to be able to join together once again with family and friends to celebrate the Class of 2022 Graduation. We enjoyed a morning reminiscing, telling stories and looking at photos of our Year 12s from babies to their time at Nagle. We wish our 14 Year 12s all the best as they begin their adventures beyond Nagle.

– Grace McKenna, House Captain

I’d like to thank the MacKillop pastoral team, Mr Phil O’Kelly, Mrs Stephanie Veness, Mrs Michaela Ward, Mr Bruce Miller and Mr Mark Fairweather for their support and enthusiasm throughout the year. I’d also like to acknowledge our extended MacKillop staff, Mrs Wilma Collier, Mrs Rose Lee, Miss Juliette Campagna and Mr Paul Mlynarz for their willingness to assist.

A big shout out to our 2022 House Captains – Charlotte Bingley, Indi Malcholm, Grace McKenna, Jordan Raeburn and Senior House Captains, Brylee McMahon and Claire Woodland. Your enthusiasm and encouragement has been a contributor to our success.

Well done MacKillop on embodying our House spirit and for always working towards fulfilling our motto, Together as One. I look forward to another exciting year in 2023.

34 | Nagle College 2022

“MacKillop House was very successful this year, having won the swimming carnival… again! The turnout to that event from our House participants was great and people putting up their hands to fill in events was really nice to see. It was lovely watching our younger year levels getting involved in both wet and dry events (in the pool and on land).

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to pull off any wins in other school based/House events but that’s ok… there’s always next year. Our House spirit this year was also fabulous.

Students cheering on their mates whilst in events was something to take note of and the constant volunteering, especially at the Aths Carnival and Swimming Carnival, to take up events was incredible. Bring on 2023 MacKillop!”

Second to None What a privilege an absolute joy it has been to undertake the role of Newman House Coordinator in 2022. I was warmly welcomed back to the House I once belonged to when I was a student myself. It was wonderful to see that the Newman community is still as proud, competitive and welcoming as ever.

Congratulations Newman House, on another phenomenal year in red. College event participation levels and our sporting results were outstanding this year. All Newman students should be proud of their efforts. We truly embodied our House motto, Nulli Secundus, as we placed on the podium in every sporting event this year!

The Swimming Carnival was the first event of the year, and the first event of many that saw us pipped at the post and coming in second place. Participation was phenomenal across all year levels, attributing to our podium finish.

Girl power was the theme of the day for the Triathlon, as both our Intermediate and Senior Girls teams took out first place. Congratulations to Emma Patterson, Ashlin O’Neill and Ebony Etheridge for continuing their winning streak, along with our Senior Girls team consisting of Keira O’Neill, Marissa Warfe and Leah McLeish-Scammell.

The Athletics Carnival was another fantastic effort and once again we saw ourselves in second place by a small margin.

So close! Aiden Wealands and Marissa Warfe were Age Champions on the day – we couldn’t be prouder of the two young guns!

40 | Nagle College 2022

On a colourful Founders’ Day in August, we finally got the win and took home the Interhouse Cross Country Champion Trophy for the first time since 2016. Braidan Wylie, Bella Prince and Aiden Wealands all received podium finishes.

Finally, Nagle’s Got Talent saw showstopping guitar skills from Billy Rule and Jorge Diprose, and a very talented Deb Griffiths donned her dancing shoes and won the Audience Vote.

Newman House would like to acknowledge our 2022 Captains – Keira O’Neill, Braidan Wylie, Emma Patterson, Ned Hadden, Marissa Warfe and Bella Prince. You provided Newman House with support and encouragement throughout the year and were such a fantastic help in assisting me with my first year as your Coordinator. I would also like to thank our beloved pastoral teachers – Lucas Drew, Josie Boland, Phil O’Neill, Robyn Eastman, Jacinta Preston and Rosie Colvin. Your willingness to assist, and your love and care for the students has been overwhelming.

Thank you for all your support in my first year as Newman House Coordinator. Finally, I would like to thank all of our Newman students, who make this job so rewarding.

I cannot wait to see what success we can achieve in 2023!

Congratulations to all of Polding house on an amazing 2022. This year we have finally been able to return to some normalcy and have continued to show our enthusiasm and participation in House and College events, showing off what an amazing house we are. At the end of Term 1 we said good bye to our amazing Coordinator Ms Katherine Brown – we will all remember her for her incredible enthusiasm and kindness and wish her all the best.

This year Polding showed off our enthusiasm by receiving the Spirit award for the Athletics Carnival, with many of our students having a go and participating in a range of events.

During our annual talent night, Polding demonstrated our unique gifts and incredible talent with a range of performers, with our very own Nicholas McLaughlin as MC and performing in his role as Music Captain.

We were very thankful this year to congratulate and highlight each one of the wonderful Year 12 graduates in the first ‘normal’ ceremony for a few years. It is always heartwarming to see each of our students grow from the young Year 7s they come to us as, into the young adults that leave us, ready to take on the world. We wish all our graduates the very best as they begin their journey out of mighty Polding and into the real world.

Judah May

House Captains Laura Jennion Allie Eenjes

I would like to extend a massive congratulations and thank you to our wonderful leaders, Judah May, Laura Jennion (Terms 1-2), Allie Eenjes, Jessica Bradley, Tahlia Chila, Spencer Zizman (Terms 1-2) and Lani Whatley (Terms 3-4). These students have led by example this year and have shown our Polding values by organising events, speaking during assemblies, and getting in and having a go.

POLDING SENIOR HOUSE CAPTAIN This year (2022) I was fortunate to be appointed Polding Senior House Captain. I have really enjoyed working with Ms Ellis and the other Polding leaders. Being a member of Polding is all about participation, supporting each other and having fun. One of my favourite memories from this year was the Swimming Carnival. This event emphasised Polding’s priority of getting involved and trying your best.

The junior students (especially the Year 7s) stepped up on their first calendar House event, participating in numerous races, even those above their age groups because they were enthusiastic and determined to support their House even if it meant being outside of their comfort zone. I can’t wait to see what 2023 brings for Polding.

It has been great to get back into a full year of events and well done to all of the Xavier students that got involved.

The year started with the Inter-House Swimming Carnival and even though we finished last, students had a great day.

Our top two swimmers were Layla Chapman who finished age champion for the second year in a row and Xavier Morrison.

In Triathlon we place fifth and a big thank you to all students that participated, especially Ruby Sumner who jumped in last minute to fill a team. Xavier competed well. Cross Country was postponed due to rain and was combined with a colour run on Founders’ Day. It was a fantastic day and all students loved participating. Well done to Brock Spanton and Ruby Goncharow who each finished second.

House Captains Elaina Wolfe Alex Hamilton

Stella Bonacci

Twigg finished first and second in the senior section and Ali Holmes and Alicia Bishop finished second and third in the Senior Digital Artwork.

A big thank you to all the Xavier student leaders. This year is the first year of the new House structure and it has been a great change. Well done to Stevie Alvin and Isabella Henderson, you were both great Senior House Captains and have always been excellent participants for Xavier House.

The House Captains (Billy Matthews, Elaina Wolfe, Alex Hamilton and Stella Bonacci) have been fantastic leaders and I am sure this will continue in the years ahead.

Good luck to all the Year 12 students leaving this year. You have been an amazing year level and everyone in Xavier wishes you all the best for the future.

The Inter-House Athletics carnival was another great day and it was fantastic to see everyone participate. We had strong results from Year 7, 8 and 11 students. Well done to Jobe Froud who was age champion.

Lastly, a big thank you to the Xavier pastoral teachers and support staff that help out students seize the day. Your support and enthusiasm is what helps to make this house so great.

Nagle’s Got Talent was back – live – this year and held at the Riviera Christian Centre. Xavier placed second with another strong performance in the photography section.

Well done to Alicia Worley, AJ Manuell, Anton Collins and Holly Callaghan who place first in the Mixed Act section.

In the photography, Ashley Wolfe finished third in the junior section, Sunanda Browne and Dayle Mitchelson-

Well done to Xavier for winning the community shield. This is a great effort and a special thank you to all the student that were involved and give up their time in the community activities.

Enjoy your break and we all look forward to seeing you in 2023.

AFL Traineeship Nagle College participated in the AFL Sports Ready Traineeship in 2022; a program that provides recently graduated students with the opportunity to combine fulltime employment with study. We were fortunate to have Oscar Clarke (2021 Graduate) work with Jemma and the Outdoor Education team.

Oscar (better know as Red) decided that six years as a student at Nagle was not enough so decided to spend a seventh year with us – hopefully you don’t regret that decision too much Oscar!

Firstly the traditional stats. Red has spent: • 27 nights away on camp • 40 days away on Outdoor Ed/ Camp activities Red has gone on camps with students from every year level: • Year 7 – 164 students on Year 7 adventure days • Year 8 – 80 students on Year 8 camp • Year 9 – 120 students on Year 9 urban camp and more on the Duke of Ed

60 | Nagle College 2022

• Year 10 – 110 students on Year 10 urban camp and 50 Outdoor Ed Camps • Year 11 – 20 students on the 5-day Bogong High Plains excursion • Year 12 – 20 students on the 5-day Source to Sea Expedition.

Red has taken nearly 600 students on camp this year (and they all came back).

Red is always thinking of the most efficient way to get jobs done. A great logistical mind! He is well liked by students from his involvement in footy and cricket outside of school.

His favourite phrase – Too easy!

Thank you for your hard work this year Oscar! You’ve helped keep our Outdoor Ed and Camp programs running smoothly. Jemma especially liked his co-driver skills (good DJ and snack provider).

Thanks for all your great work with us throughout 2022 and we wish you all the best for the future!

We are

a school

that prepares for life

As the year draws to a close and we wonder where the time goes, I take this opportunity to reflect on the many achievements made by our Nagle College students. In 2022 we have seen our students continue to adapt to the uncertainty of the time and develop into more confident and resilient learners. We have realised that we are certainly learning in a different realm in these post pandemic days and we strive to help every student feel safe, valued and included in the life of the school.

BELONGING The theme for Year 7 is belonging and we endeavour to provide young people with opportunities to meet friends and develop strong connections from their first time together on Orientation Day. As part of their Core curriculum, students investigate the the concept of belonging to a family, a school community, faith communities, local community and a nation. This year, we have worked on reconnecting to school and building positive relationships. Students have been given many opportunities to explore, investigate and create together in all learning areas throughout the year. Unfortunately, our year started off with restrictions to camps and excursions and the cancellation of our Year 7 camps was disappointing.

As we know, our staff can pivot and reprogram with ease and the camp was quickly replaced with on-site activity days including games and local indigenous information sessions.

Once again, we have engaged with the Resilience Project and students worked in house activities to learn more about the GEM principles of gratitude, empathy, mindfulness and emotional literacy. Staff members worked hard to strengthen the connections in their Pastoral classes and subject areas to help students re-establish classroom routine and rigour.

Young people have the capacity to become powerful learners and our focus on belonging through making

62 | Nagle College 2022

connections and recognising strengths through providing intellectual stretch are at the core of what drives our teaching and learning.

CURRICULUM This year NAPLAN online was introduced to Nagle College and all Year 7 and 9 students completed the tests in the new online format. NAPLAN online tests are adaptive so students at each level start with a similar set of questions and depending on each student’s answer, the next set of questions may be easier or more difficult, giving students greater opportunity to demonstrate what they know. We found the students took to the new testing style with ease and completed the tasks in the appropriate time frame.

Once again, the Subject and Pathways expo was a successful night, and it was fabulous to welcome the families back to the college to discuss the future subject options for their children.

I look forward to hosting this event again next year. Nagle College provides a series of opportunities for students and parents to participate in the subject selection process and become familiar with options. Our aim is to enable students and parents to source the information they need to make the best decisions for their child’s future educational program.

YEAR 9 CHALLENGE AND CHOICE PROGRAM The new Year 9 Challenge and Choice program was developed following an intensive review of the existing program conducted by a focus group made up of middle leaders. The work began in 2021 and continued throughout 2022. Students and teachers were surveyed and asked to review the existing year nine program for structure and content. The team looked at the programs of many other schools and followed relevant research papers to come up with a proposal.

A new Year 9 program entitled ‘Challenge and Choice’ was developed and I thank the focus team headed by Jenna O’Rourke along with Katherine Brown, John O’Sullivan and Skye Smith. After many hours of work from all Learning Teams and teachers of the Year 9 subjects, we launched our brand-new program during Promotion.

The Year 9 Challenge and Choice Program has been developed to equip students with the knowledge, skills and character required to fully engage with the social and technological environment of the future, to understand its issues and to experience meaningful learning in an increasingly complex and challenging world.

We encourage students to challenge themselves through increasing their exposure to new learning experiences that align with their interests and future aspirations. At Year 9, students begin to exercise some control over the structure of their pathway choices. Students are challenged with high expectations for achievement in a variety of subjects and develop personal responsibility for their own learning.

We aim to prepare young people for an informed pathway to senior school, to develop their sense of belonging and to strengthen connections by exploring the unique potential of each young person. We hope that the combination of subjects will help our students to develop good judgement and allow them to realise their academic and personal potential as they transition to senior school.

We encourage our Year 9s to consider career aspirations in their Pathways class to inform them of suitable subjects leading to Senior School and beyond.

VCE – VOCATIONAL MAJOR During Promotion we launched the new VCE Vocational Major (VM) program. The VCE VM is a vocational and applied learning program within the VCE designed to be completed over a minimum of two years. The VCE VM will give students greater choice and flexibility to pursue their strengths and interests and develop the skills and capabilities needed to succeed in further education, work and life. It prepares students to move into apprenticeships, traineeships, further education and training, university (via non-ATAR pathways) or directly into the workforce.

The purpose of the VCE VM is to provide students with the best opportunity to achieve their personal goals and aspirations in a rapidly changing world by: • equipping them with the skills, knowledge, values and capabilities to be active and informed citizens, lifelong learners and confident and creative individuals; and

• empowering them to make informed decisions about the next stages of their lives through real life workplace experiences.’

Many thanks go to our Applied Learning Leader, Tina Sonka and her team in building the new courses while finishing off the existing VCAL curriculum. The success of the applied learning in VCAL has been evident in the high number of our VCAL students who move on from Nagle with successful post school pathways such as apprenticeships and TAFE courses.

MUSIC CLASSES & PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE The Performing Arts, team have done an extraordinary job, relocating to different areas of the school to allow for the new Performing Arts Centre to be built. We look forward to moving into the new building early in the new year and congratulate the teachers on continuing their programs when they have been removed from their own familiar areas of the school. A job well done.

Collaboration, creativity and care for our students have been the prime focus this year as we navigated a pathway for our students’ ‘new normal’. The diverse learning and situational needs of our students were considered as courses were adapted and adjusted, new curriculum was developed and pathways to support our students were reviewed as we recognised the changing educational and employment landscape. I acknowledge the work that is done with the SEED team to accommodate various learning styles and educational needs.

Teachers, Learning Support Officers and our Indigenous Liaison Officers provide constant support and guidance for the students in many different ways every day and I thank them on behalf of our parents for their companionship in the role of educating our young people. I also acknowledge their support of each other. Often quietly and without fuss they are always ready to step in and provide support for one other. They are witnesses to our gospel values.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the role of the students who sit at the centre of everything we do at Nagle College.

They have shown ambition, determination and resolve to pursue their goals. I thank all of our families and carers for their partnership, resilience and commitment to the Catholic education of young people. I hope we can continue to work together to strengthen our connection and to help build a pathway to a bright future for every one of our students. I look forward to working with the students and staff every day both now and in the future.

Junior School Mrs Pauline Cherry and Mrs Wilma Collier, Junior School Coordinators

The commencement of secondary school has always been a time of excitement and anticipation for both students and parents who eagerly look forward to this major milestone. Nagle College prides itself in a comprehensive transition program that assists students to navigate the new horizons associated with secondary school but remains aware that a great many students remain challenged by the unprecedented events of the last couple of years. Despite this students have approached this year with a renewed enthusiasm for a return to “normality”.

The year began on a positive note for our new Year 7 cohort, but this was then impacted by DOSCEL’s decision to place public events on hold for the first four weeks of the year.

Unfortunately, this meant that the traditional welcoming activities did not transpire. Our Year 7 Parent evening had to be postponed and Year 7 Camps, an activity that traditionally allows students to establish meaningful relationships with both their peers and their teachers, were cancelled. In their place students participated in an

68 | Nagle College 2022

activity day with their Core classes. Whilst not ideal these still provided students with a means by which to form new friendships and connect with their new teachers and coordinators.

The students had the best day with activities such as bike riding, hiking and a few managed to keep up with Mrs Cherry’s running pace. They were then given some problem solving team building tasks, which they had to work together to successfully complete the activities. This was a great success as they all helped each other to achieve their goals. The day was concluded by a ‘raft’ building and floating challenge. Most of the rafts sank but it was great fun watching their ingenuity. They then were able to swim and dive off the pier. Needless to say the activity days were a great start to the year and students making new connections.

Despite these challenges, students in the Junior School continued to successfully represent Nagle College in several extracurricular events whilst other went by the way because

of the Covid 19 situation. In March this year Nagle College took part in the inaugural ACER Global World Challenge.

The Global Academic Challenge is a unique opportunity for high-achieving year 8 students to apply their knowledge and skills beyond the curriculum and participate with a cohort of students across the globe. Nagle college had a total of 23 students who participated in either one, two or all of the three curriculum areas offered. Our students achieved outstanding results in an academic platform designed to compare them to students internationally, with 50% of students achieving a credit or higher. The two outstanding students were Grace McKenna and Bailey Webster. Grace achieved a Distinction, a High Distinction and a High Distinction with Honours which placed her in the top 1% of the cohort globally. Bailey achieved two Distinctions and a High Distinction with Honours. We look forward to again offering this opportunity to Year 8 students next year This year Nagle College was proud, once again to host the Zone final of VICSPELL, which returned after a COVID 19 absence. Students from neighbouring Primary and Secondary schools came together to complete in this prestigious spelling competition. Nagle students, Byron Clarke and Elizabeth Gray won their respective section and then went on to represent the school in the regional competition, where they both were major placegetters. Our congratulation go to both of them. It is with pride, that as a school, we reflect on the many outstanding achievements

and successes of our junior school students. Thanks, must also go to the multitude of staff whose exhaustive efforts ensured that, despite our somewhat geographical isolation and the challenges presented by Covid, our students were given every possible opportunity to compete in these events. It was encouraging to see the number of students who consistently availed themselves of these opportunities.

Year 7 and 8 students continued to undergo literacy and numeracy testing at the beginning and the end of the school year, enabling staff access to a database that will assist in tracking students’ progress. Testing at the end of the year indicated the level of improvement. This has proven invaluable in developing the learning we deliver in both literacy and numeracy. Results have been very encouraging, showing that most students improved significantly throughout the year despite less than ideal circumstances.

Year 7 NAPLAN Testing also provided invaluable data for the development of new programs, revising old ones and planning our direction for the future.

Reflecting on the past year has shown that, despite the many challenges we were faced with, as a college, we can celebrate the diversity of our many positive achievements. It has highlighted the resilience and strength of both our students and staff and reinforce the true value and meaning of being able to come together as a community.

Middle School Mr Chris Kool and Ms Gillian Mason, Middle School Coordinators

After a couple of years of lockdowns, restrictions, and remote learning, we were finally able to have a full year of classes for Year 9 and 10 students.

This year we were fortunate to hold the Year 9 Urban Camp.

We were also thrilled the Year 10s could also have a oneoff Year 10 Urban camp – they missed the previous year’s Camp due to Covid. Both camps were a huge success. The girls completed three days in Melbourne and two days at Nagle. The boys had two days at Nagle and swapped with the girls for three days in Melbourne. While at Nagle for the two days, students participated in a special program which included a talk by a paramedic, Headspace mental health, martial arts self-defense session, weaving, and some cooking activities. While in Melbourne students visited Australian Catholic University, the Shrine of Remembrance, Kingpin, and an elective choice involving the Zoo, Aquarium, ice skating, Jump and Climb, and the MCG tour. Thanks to the staff and camp coordinator for the two weeklong Year 9 and 10 camps.

The Resilience Project again this year saw students meeting in groups throughout the year to learn about building resilience and having the ability to bounce back from life’s challenges. They gained the skills required to successfully

70 | Nagle College 2022

navigate their way through tough times by learning about empathy, emotional literacy, mindfulness, and gratitude which are the cornerstones of building resilience. A final activity included writing a rap song on the concept of respect which is essential for developing successful relationships as part of resilience. The school was lucky enough to also receive a presentation by the founder of the resilience project.

Year 10 students received a special presentation by a police officer about road safety giving them the message that P platers are at the highest risk of car accidents and injury according to the current statistics and to be mindful when they initially receive their license of how to drive and things to be mindful of.

Congratulations to all the year 9 & 10 students who have received awards in 2022 as well as those who achieve a certificate of Merit. Keep up the excellent work and achieve even better results next year in 2023.

We also congratulate the Year 10 students who were successful in gaining an apprenticeship, employment or continuing their studies outside of Nagle for 2023 and wish them the best for the next stage of their journey.

Senior School Mr Steve Dunning and Ms Judy Taylor, Junior School Coordinators

In 2022, the Senior School focused on developing a productive approach to study, a commitment to career goals and connecting with the broader community.

The students began the year with workshops from Elevate to focus attention on important skills to deal with the demands of their VCE and VCAL program. This provided them with a sound basis to prepare for assessment tasks, the GAT and the end of the year exams.

There was a sense of relief this year that students and teachers could work together in the classroom rather than remotely. We were able to build on student confidence with technology and use that knowledge to enhance their classroom experiences.

72 | Nagle College 2022

The students were inspired by the 2022 Strenna – Do all through love and nothing through constraint. They initiated the ‘Do it for Dolly’ Day in order to spotlight the ongoing issue of online bullying. Also, our School Leaders worked with the Year 7s to foster a greater connection with Nagle and encourage a smooth transition from Primary School.

The Senior Students demonstrated a commitment to upholding the school values of Respect, Responsibility and Excellence. We thank our teachers who have been positive and professional in supporting students to achieve their potential.

English Ms Skye Smith, English Learning Area Leader

How lovely it has been to have a year uninterrupted by COVID lockdowns and remote learning, however COVID isolation periods have certainly created their own set of challenges. Some students have fully embraced the full return to school and for others it has been a struggle. The goal for English teachers is always to continue to raise the academic and literacy levels of our students but we do so with a focus on engaging topics that will also make our students more aware and considerate of the world around us and allow time for personal reflection and introspection.

Students throughout all year levels have engaged with a wide variety of texts and explored different styles and structures of writing through their own responses. They have analysed the arguments and perspectives of others on a range of themes and topics and considered these to form their own views on different events, people and issues. They have used technology and research platforms to guide them with different oral presentation tasks and through all this have expanded on their critical thinking skills and ethical capabilities.

Early in the year, students throughout the school had the option of participating in the Insight Writing Competition.

They could write their own short story or poem on any chosen topic, and it was great to see the interest from students from a range of year levels.

For the fifth year in a row, our Year 9 Enhanced English students (as well as some budding Year 9 artists) participated in three teams in the Write a Book in a Day Competition. While we didn’t have any winners this year, the students all did a wonderful job creating their teams’ books (complete with illustrations) all within 12 hours – building teamwork and creative writing skills. The students also appreciated the support from fellow students who participated in the competition last year and had

74 | Nagle College 2022

valuable advice for them as they crafted their stories. The competition raises funds for the Kids Cancer Project and the teams all managed to raise $3,289 through individual promotions and a book sale which was a fantastic effort for a very worthy cause.

With the nation opening back up, it was also great to invite special guests into our school to work with and talk to our students and for students to go on excursions. Year 12 English students had the privilege of being entertained by Complete Works Theatre Company with a performance of scenes from The Crucible and The Dressmaker to aid their comparative analysis. Year 9 Enhanced English students travelled to Melbourne to see a professional production of ‘Looking For Alibrandi’ after studying the novel. They also worked one on one with some guest speakers to learn the intricacies of public debating. Year 8 English teachers, along with other interested staff, were delighted to attend Eddie Betts’ presentation at the Bairnsdale Sporting and Recreation Centre and gained some valuable insights into his football career and the adversities he has faced as an Aboriginal Australian – information which was able to be directly transferred into classroom discussions for the Year 8 English Indigenous Issues Unit. We were thrilled, also, to welcome Australian author, editor and lawyer Alice Pung who visited Nagle College for a day and delivered workshops and presentations to students from Years 8–12 interested in the writing process.

It has been my privilege to work with the talented and passionate team of English teachers this year and to see growth in many of our students. There are exciting changes that taking place at the Year 9 level in 2023 for English, that offer students more choice and opportunity to work to their strengths. I look forward to what the year ahead holds in store and giving students more opportunities to live out the College motto “let your light shine.”

EXAMPLES OF STUDENT WRITING Statement of Intention (Grace McKenna): My poem details the ‘why’ behind stereotypes, how they close off a personality and lead to our colourful, wild, and expressive world being viewed in categories.

I want to answer the ethical questions to do with why the world looks at society through boxes, and toy with the idea that it’s in response to an uncertain fear felt for the diversity of different personalities.

I want the audience to relate and empathize with the stories of part of someone being lost because they can only fit in one box. I also want the audience to look at the bigger picture and see just how irrelevant stereotypes are compared to bigger and more important events in our universe. I want them to see the mundaneness and ridiculousness of stereotypes, that they were invented by people to hurt people.

I want the audience to come to feel anger and sadness at the state of the world we live in. I also hope to evoke a change in the way people think, and I want them to be motivated to rise above the ideas of other small minds.

Boxed Wonders by Grace McKenna You may have heard of the void we call space, A dark, and black, and big empty place, Tiresome-sounding, tedious, boring, maybe, But you haven’t seen it for more than it seems, For the wonder, the mystery that’s our universe, Perplexes the scientists at its best and at its worst, It contains knowledge, secrets big and small, About the miracle that anything exists at all,

They’ll dumb it down, put people in boxes, ’til they’re contained and unsure, like scared caged foxes, “You’re a girl from a farm, Oh! So you ride horses?”

“I heard you’re the nerd, so may be with you the forces!”

“You’re unemployed? So you look after the kids...”

You can’t be more than one thing, Society forbids,

But look a little further, focus the lens, The wonder of the universe truly never ends, For in its contents is our planet earth, Beautiful, incredible, responsible for the birth, Of music, of art, of monarchies, of coins, Of dance, of laws, of philosophy, of toys, Not even to mention the lakes and the trees, Earth is wild, expressive, and free,

But why are we forced into such categorizations?

Why do we only fit one classification?

When everyone knows that we’re all so much more, We can all see it, just chose to ignore, But what confuses me most, what makes the least sense, These categories have been invented at humanity’s own expense, Yes, it’s all on them, they created these controls, At the cost of no one else, they’re simplifying their own souls,

Even more so are its main inhabitants, Humankind is what makes earth so extravagant, Humans are so different, no two can be the same, The very mere concept is just insane, That everyone one of us is so unique, As standard, yet as dissimilar, as the way each person speaks, ‘Anyone can be whatever they like,’ is what we’re told from a young age, Painters, doctors, those who fix bikes, or musicians on the world stage, Good at chess, at swimming, at cooking or all three, The possibilities are endless, its what makes you, you, and me, me, This individuality, creativeness, ability to dream, Is only made possible because of one thing, A personality is a complex machine, A set of incomprehensible pipes, bolts, and screens, But, in its beauty there is also a burden, For humanity will do what it always does when uncertain, Make things simple, uncomplicated, easy to understand, And often when doing so will hurt the people at hand,

The only way to combat the ideas of greater folk, Is to tune them out, not listen in, make ideas unique, bespoke, For if we all were to just give in to the prominent pictures painted, Of us by small-minded others, we’d all be surely wasted, Our specialness, our uniquity, quirks and even flaws, Would all be gone, suppressed, no more, all because someone else closed the doors, Everything we honoured about our planet earth’s ways, That wonder and that awe would all be taken away, We can hardly let that happen; it wouldn’t be a thing to hold with pride, It’s up to us to change our ways, think for ourselves and recognize, That all people are so much more, Than the single thing they are best known for.

Library Mrs Michaela Ward, Library Services Cooridnator

The Francis de Sales Learning Centre is available for student use from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm Monday to Friday, including recess and lunchtime. This library is always buzzing with students and a popular spot to relax with friends, get lost in a great book, chip away at a puzzle or play a fierce game of chess. Lunchtime activities consisted of Anime Club who had a devoted group of students attending most weeks, watching an episode of their choice. Likewise, Art Club had a group of students who met to chill out and colour. Book Club met sporadically, having the opportunity to discuss a singular book, or be the first to borrow one of our new books. Chess Club was taken over by Mrs Beggs who set the challenge that if someone could beat her she would give them a $100 Harvey Norman voucher. The hordes of competitors fancied themselves for a few weeks, but soon realised she is indeed, the master. However, pure skill and determination saw Puy Murika (Year 11) finally defeat Mrs Beggs – no mean feat!

76 | Nagle College 2022

This year, the library has celebrated many significant events with the highlight being Book Week. During this time, multiple competitions were run including Book Face (won

by James Kapolos, Year 9), Emoji Book Titles (won by Billy Matthews, Year 10) and Pixelated Book Covers (won by Sikha Stafford, Year 12). On the Tuesday, students were able to decorate a journal – an activity so popular that we ran out of supplies! The most competitive event was arguably the Harry Potter Trivia, with three rounds of questions that only the most dedicated muggles could answer. The coveted crown was won by none other than Team Hedwig (made up of Mia Lord, Trinity Thompson, Maddy Thomson and Grace McKenna, all Year 8). On the final day of Book Week, we held a highly anticipated book sale, with all books being sold for $2 each. From this, we ended up raising over $250 for the Kids’ Cancer Project (via the Write a Book in a Day competition).

Book Week also provided a great opportunity for students to share their love of literature with the broader community.

Grace McKenna (Year 8), Elizabeth Gray (Year 8), Ellie Smeal (Year 8), Liya Joseph (Year 8), Ashleigh Smith (Year 8), Tully Casement (Year 8), Mikayla Holland (Year 8), Madeline Thomson (Year 8), Maggie Anderson (Year 10), Billy Matthews (Year 10) and Emily Pendergast (Year 10) volunteered to visit St Mary’s Primary School to read junior students a picture book. Our wonderful students were well adored by the Foundation, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students who loved interacting with the older kids. The feeling was mutual, with many of our students requesting to read their story again to a different class! It looks like we might have some budding teachers in our midst.

The library has also provided opportunities for students to enhance their love of literature with a group of students from Years 8–12 volunteering to be ‘Shadow Judges’ for the CBCA Book of the Year. Teams from all over the country participated in this event. Our students were required to read the six shortlisted books in the Older Reader category with only two weeks to read each book. As a group, our students voted for How to Repaint a Life by Steven Herrick as their book of the year. Votes of all Shadow Judges from around the nation saw Sugar Town Queens by Mala Nunn gain the most votes, while Tiger Daughter by Rebecca Lim was crowned book of the year by the official judging panel. A special mention must be made to the following students who contributed to our creative response to the project – Emma Fincher (Year 8), Elizabeth Gray (Year 8), Grace McKenna (Year 8), Izaac Alleaume (Year 8), Ava Aly-Mehlert (Year 9), Maggie Anderson (Year 10), Thomas Greer (Year 10), Ella Poore (Year 10) and Ella Groves (Year 10).

Guest author, Alice Pung, visited the library (photo above) to share her wisdom with selected groups of students.

Alice’s fantastic writing tips were interwoven with her own personal anecdotes of Growing up Asian in Australia, as well as harrowing stories of hardship and resilience of her family during the Cambodian Genocide. Everyone who heard Alice speak was in awe of her undeniable skill for storytelling and we hope to have the privilege of welcoming Alice back to Nagle College in the future.

Borrow Box was introduced to Nagle this year – an audiobook and eBook library. While our collection is still growing, this is a great tool for all students to use for recreational reading / listening and for study purposes. The first books we purchased were the set texts in English, so no students have the excuse that they ‘don’t like reading’ anymore! We are excited to see our collection continue to grow over the years, and for students to realise the benefits of this great resource. The eBooks also have some wonderful features such as specific fonts for students with dyslexia, the ability to make the font larger and night mode, so those late-night sessions don’t strain your eyes.

Languages Ms Celeste Campagna, Languages Learning Area Leader

2022 was yet another eventful year in Languages. We said goodbye to Ms Katherine Brown in Term 2, we wish her all the best in her adventures in Western Australia and thank her for her leadership and enduring passion for Languages.

We also welcomed Ms Stephanie Norwood to the team, teaching Japanese. As always, culture and language were explored through a variety of engaging activities, providing students with skills and knowledge applicable to their lives and studies beyond the Italian and Japanese classroom.

Students were given opportunities to rehearse their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills through song, role plays, scavenger hunts and rotation activities.

Hearing students (past and present) report that they have had opportunities to use their language, or have recognised language, in their lives outside Nagle is always an exciting and rewarding reminder of the benefits of undertaking this subject.

I’d like to congratulate the VCE Italian and Japanese students on their years of commitment to the subject and hope that in

78 | Nagle College 2022

the years to come they find opportunities to travel and use the skills they have gained over their time at Nagle.

I have enjoyed taking on the Subject Learning Leader role in 2022 and look forward to an exciting year in Languages in 2023.

YEAR 8 “Italian has been very enjoyable as I have a genuine interest in learning about the language. It was great learning different greetings and responses as they are easy to pick up and use if I were to go to Italy. Doing Italian has opened opportunities to learn about a different language using things like Education Perfect and using my knowledge on tests. I hope in the future I can learn to speak more Italian phrases and sentences so I can see how I improve and grow my fluency with memorization in Education Perfect.” - Lachlan Davis

“Learning a language is one of the best things you can do for your brain. Millions of people every year take up the challenge of learning a second language, and at Nagle we’re given the opportunity to be one of them. This year learning Italian in Year 8, we built on our Year 7 knowledge, covering things like how to speak about the weather, time and date, our health and continuing to learn about Italy the country with research tasks tailored to our interests. I couldn’t tell you my favourite part because I loved all of it. Language learning is unique and can be made a lot of fun! I’d love to go to Italy myself someday, but for now, I’ll look forward to continuing to learn Italian in Year 9!”

– Grace McKenna

YEAR 9 “I enjoyed the Year 9 Italian topics we studied and that we had a small class with only people who were interested in the subject. I also enjoyed the cultural tasks and other fun activities we did that broke up the written work and worksheets. I learnt about phrases that relate to shopping and clothing, describing housing, and direction. I also learnt about reflexive verbs and passato prossimo. I look forward to learning more about Italian culture and more phrases next year. I am also looking forward to travelling to Italy (if it happens in the next few years).”

– Ava Aly-Mehlert “Studying languages this year, I was given the opportunity to enhance my abilities in not only reading and writing but also enabling myself to listen and respond to certain situations I might experience in real life when speaking Japanese. Whilst learning this subject at school I have found that many things practiced in the Japanese language have been beneficial in other core subjects, when focusing on counting and identifying larger numbers I was able to put certain helpful aspects towards my mathematics class. I have thoroughly enjoyed Japanese and I look forward to continuing it in the coming years.” – Victoria Collins

YEAR 11 “Learning Italian as a second language in high school has taught me more about the culture that my family was born into, and also the community that surrounds us all around the world. Italian has been a major learning curve but also a really great experience. I have made lots of memories during Italian classes and also some really good friends. My choice to learn Italian came from wanting to be able to understand my family’s culture more, however now that I have lea rnt a greater level of Italian I would love to use my knowledge in my future jobs and also to travel around Europe in future years.”

– Ruby Sumner “Learning Japanese this year has been challenging and rewarding. As it was an online class, it required strong time management and organisation skills. The seminars, which took place in Melbourne, were always encouraging and were a great way to meet our teachers as well as other students studying Japanese from around Victoria. To grow my understanding of the Japanese culture and traditions has been very enjoyable and the support from Nagle teachers with navigating this class has been beyond helpful, as well as the support from my past Japanese teacher, Ms Brown. In the future, I hope to continue studying Japanese and I would love to put my skills to the test once I can travel to Japan.”

Mathematics Mrs Ruth Kissick, Mathematics Learning Area Leader

“Sometimes, the beauty and enjoyment of maths is in the concepts, or in the results, or in the explanations. Other times, it’s the thought processes that make your mind turn in nice ways, the emotions that you get, or just working in the flow—like getting lost in a good book.” Dr. Thomas Britz, University of New South Wales.

▶ Keeping a set of notes to assist in their learning ▶ Setting out work neatly, with working out shown ▶ Extending students to think outside the square ▶ Completing required homework tasks.

• Encouraging students to be discerning users of technology.

As the new school year began, the Mathematics Learning Area team welcomed Ruth Kissick as their leader, along with several new staff. This year we welcomed Yvonne Francis returning from two years in Nepal, Herman Badenhorst, Diana Beggs, Chris Eaton, Chris Fennane, Brock Linklater and Erasmus van der Merwe.

While the online platforms such as MathsOnline have continued to be used in the Mathematics classes, they have been an adjunct to the classroom practice of completing written work in an exercise book, showing working out and keeping notes on the topics. These skills are fundamental in finding success in Mathematics and remain our focus.

With the end of the COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccination rates high, we anticipated that 2022 would be more settled than the previous two years. Although we returned to faceto-face learning, there were still challenges presented by mandatory requirements for students and staff to isolate if they or a close contact tested positive.

The classrooms have been a hive of activity, with all staff delivering the Victorian curriculum in Years 7 to 10, focussing on the three strands:

By the very nature of Mathematics, it requires learning to be undertaken in a sequential way, so that skills are developed based on previous learning. After two years of lockdowns and remote learning, the gaps in students’ learning were noticeable. The priority for the Mathematics teaching team was to enable the students to return to the classroom and reconnect with face-to-face learning. The main focus was on reestablishing good working habits, listening and responding to others and completing work in class. With the assistance of the Victorian government-funded tutoring program and the Learning Support Officers, students were encouraged, challenged, nurtured and engaged in our Mathematics classes.

Our focus in all classes has been: • Introduction and reinforcement of basic skills • Application of mathematical concepts beyond the classroom • Development of practices to ensure students achieve success including: ▶ Listening to instruction

80 | Nagle College 2022

• Number and Algebra • Geometry and Measurement • Statistics and Probability.

At every level students have been provided with activities that take into consideration their personal strengths.

At Year 9 Enhanced Maths was run every second Tuesday, with selected students leaving their usual maths class to engage in problem-solving and open-ended activities.

In our third year of PAT testing it was great to see improvement across the board, with some students making outstanding progress over the last two years.

Without NAPLAN results from 2020 to compare with this year’s results, this was a valuable source of data for the Mathematics staff. It is testament to the wonderful work being carried out inside and outside our classrooms by students, parents and teachers.

After school support has again been provided, with Maths Aid running every Monday afternoon for students in all year levels. Senior students were able to attend Maths Café on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons where they were

provided with a snack and assistance from the senior Maths teachers. A very warm thank you to all staff who made themselves available and for their dedication to our students (photos opposite page, bottom).

We are now embracing the new study design in VCE. Students doing the VCE VM (which will replaced VCAL), are now able to choose General Maths, Maths Methods or Numeracy. This gives students a greater opportunity to pursue their preferred area of Mathematics while focussing on a vocational major. It is wonderful to see our 2023 students taking up this opportunity.

As we finish the 2022 school year we farewell a long term staff member. Geoff Neeson has decided it is time to retire and begin a new chapter of his life. Geoff will be missed by all in the Mathematics learning area, especially for his expertise in Maths Methods. We take this opportunity to thank Geoff for his dedication and commitment over many years and wish him well for the future.

AUSTRALIAN MATHEMATICS COMPETITION Students at Nagle College were given the opportunity to sit the Australian Mathematics Competition in August.

For the first time students completed the competition online. All students were provided with a scribble sheet containing relevant diagrams. This proved very efficient and the students approached the tasks with enthusiasm.

A total of 93 students participated, with all receiving a certificate of distinction, credit, proficiency or participation.

Congratulations to all students who entered and especially to the students who received best in school, a distinction, or merit (see table right).

Things appear to have settled down, just a little bit.

However, they say that the only constant in life is change, and this is also true for science. Last year we farewelled Andrea Blunden, Peter Cheung, Andrea Savage, and Sue Whitbourne with a combined Science teaching experience at Nagle of close to 60 years. And last year saw the arrival of Diana Beggs and Bruce Miller. This year saw the arrival of Herman Badenhorst, Nikita Dalal, Chris Feenane, and Erasmus Van Der Merwe. New, albeit experienced, science teachers, for a fresh start, after the COVID-19 pandemic years. We also have a new laboratory assistant, Bethany Dunbar. I think it would be fair to say that the Science Department is going through a transition period. With new staff comes new ideas and so, the science curriculum continues to be an adaptive and evolving program designed to cater for 21st Century science students.

Science Week was a lot of fun this year. It involved students answering a Science Quiz in Pastoral every morning throughout the week (thanks Chris Feenane for setting that up). Well done to Xavier 5 for winning the competition.

Students also had the opportunity to fire water rockets at lunchtime. Students who fired the water rocket the highest (in their year level), received a delicious prize. Well done to these budding rocket scientists!

behind some simple experiments, which deepened their scientific understanding. The Year 8 students then taught these physics and chemistry concepts to the St Mary’s Grade 2 students in a fun, hands-on way. The St Mary’s students and teachers loved the science addition to their curriculum. These Year 8 Advanced Science students also studied some more advanced science concepts to further benefit their own learning.

Photo of Ellie and Liya in the foreground and with Izaac, Alexander and Elizabeth in the background teaching Grade 2 students some aspects of chemical change (received permission to photograph Grade 2 students).

Several Year 11 science students competed in the Australian Science Olympiad competition (which is the most prestigious school science competition in Australia).

Next year we hope to resume the UNSW National Science competition for students from all year levels.

SNAPSHOT OF JUNIOR SCIENCE The online Stile program remains the focal means of delivering the Junior Science curriculum. This program is complemented with additional teaching resources and ideas to boost interest and understanding in science. A highlight in Junior Science was Nagle’s Year 8 Enhanced Science students, and the return of an inter-school program run

by Dr Crowe. These Year 8 students were taught the theory 82 | Nagle College 2022

In another initiative, three Year 9 students, Sol BassettAlbert, Maddy Goranitis and Bede Lulham travelled to Swinburne, Melbourne to take part in a real-world activity interpreting data from a telescope in Chile and interpreting the data, looking for short bursts of light called transients.

Over the six days, students successfully identified a gamma ray burst (GRB) and fast radio burst (FRB). The research lab was very impressed by the students’ dedication and maturity, and they have been encouraged by the team leader, Professor Jeff Cooke, to pursue further involvement with research and work experience in the Astrophysics department at Swinburne University. Well done to Diana Beggs for coordinating this activity.

SNAPSHOT OF SENIOR SCIENCE After three interrupted years, the senior science students enjoyed the opportunity to do practical work (refer to photo below), wear laboratory coats (refer to photos of Chemistry students) and to do field work again (Year 11 Chemistry and Year 11 Environmental Science photo). Practical and field work remain an important way for students to learn as it helps students connect theory with real-life situations.

A great initiative for our Year 11 Environmental Science students included joining the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (EGCMA) for a kayak down the Mitchell River at the Silt Jetties. This excursion was to highlight the work that EGCMA perform and the importance of the Mitchell River, in connection with local agriculture and conservation. The Mitchell River is the last major river in East Coast Australia that is not regulated – it is an important resource for local agriculture, tourism and the ecosystems, and it flows right past Nagle College!

Although very photo shy, Norrie Owen is to be congratulated for her continual support to Science (photo top right). There was a huge increase in practical work this year. Her brilliant knowledge and willingness to help the science staff (especially the new staff) implement this more practical orientated curriculum (with plenty of hands-on activities) was a key reason for the successes felt by the science teachers in 2022.

CONCLUSION Although this year has been a lot more fun and engaging compared to recent years. It is with some sadness that we farewell Chris Feenane, Nikita Dalal (both moving to Melbourne) and Dan Crowe (travelling).

Photo: Two new science staff members (Chris Feenane, and Nikita Dalal) and one old science staff member (Dan Crowe – 24 years at Nagle) giving the thumbs up to a terrific 2022 year in Science!

Clockwise from above left: 1) Year 12 Biology student, Claire Woodland, surveying her own experiment, looking at the effect of temperature on the rate of fermentation in yeast. Fermentation was measured by the amount of CO2 produce in the test tubes and captured by the balloons. 2) Year 11 Chemistry students testing water quality of the Mitchell River at Nagle College. Students measured stream flow, pH, turbidity, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, water conductivity and several other variables. Students tested the Mitchell at Dargo, the Pump Station, Nagle College, and the Silt Jetties. 3) Environmental Science students paddling along the Mitchell River at the Silt Jetties. 4) Environmental Science students and Bruce Miller listening to staff from EGCMA talk about the issues involved in managing the Mitchell River.

After teaching Science for 24 years, and Science Learning Area Leader for approximately 15 years, it is with a mix of sadness and enthusiasm that I take sabbatical leave in 2023.

I will miss my science colleagues and students but welcome the opportunity to travel, recharge the batteries, and refresh the mind.

Cheers, Dan Crowe

Technologies Ms Rachel Prince, Technologies Learning Area Leader

FOOD STUDIES AND TEXTILES We have finally seen our food studies class back to normal!

Year 12s have had a busy year. They have been investigating the science of food through practical activities, which they have thoroughly enjoyed. Year 11s have been trialling new Assessment tasks. Our Year 11 highlight was the ploughman’s platters. This showcased our students’ eye for design and creativity. Year 11 students were fortunate to visit local food producers. Year 10s continued to look at more complex recipes to increase their skills within the kitchen. Students completed the McCormick’s Challenge and put their knowledge and skills to the test. Year 9s have been experimenting with new practical activities, adjusted to more contemporary foods we have in Australia today.

The New Year began with a cohort of Year 7s who were excited about learning to “cook and sew”. They participated food studies activities about safety in the kitchen, safe food handling, washing and cleaning up, and food production.

84 | Nagle College 2022

While their food may not have made it home, I can assure you that the students have cooked! They also learnt about basic nutrition and applied it to their own eating habits.

Year 7 is exploring reuse, recycling of foods, and packaging as part of a sustainability unit. In Textiles, Year 7s made a cushion (to a basic design) but incorporating their own design for the centre of the cushion. Most have mastered the sewing machine and should be encouraged to practise at home to improve their skills for Year 8.

Year 8s continued to build on the skills they learnt in Year 7 and have studied food products and the nutrients contained in them, in more depth. They also completed design briefs encompassing design, make, and appraise. Year 8s completed a unit of Food Studies, where they participated in practical classes related to Healthy Eating. We hope they have demonstrated their skills at home, both in preparing the food and cleaning up their “mess”. A Shibori Research task was completed and these ideas were transferred to a piece of Fabric. Students then dyed the fabric and made it

into a bag or a cushion cover. Students were also required to come to class prepared with their sewing kit.

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING & DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

Year 9 Fabric to Fashion students enjoyed making a small cosmetic bag using scrap materials and waterproofed with odicoat. This was a part of a sustainability exercise in reusing materials. The students inserted a zip and made a bead zip pull. They then completed a pair of “designer” pyjama pants, which was based on their research about the Designers of Pyjamas.

One Semester, 19 Weeks, 105 lessons or 68 (ish) hours, something we all overlooked previously and took for granted.

Year 10 Fabric to Fashion students completed a research task about denim and it’s repurposing. The students made a varied and interesting range of products using recycled denim. Their next project was to respond to a Design Brief to make a garment – some were more successful than others. They also completed a range of tasks relating to the Elements and Principals of design, related to Fashion.

We have exciting movements in the VET Hospitality area.

Our coffee cart will be delivered next year so Year 2 students can begin their coffee unit. We are very excited for this course and the opportunities it will bring for our students. We have also been working on the new Year 9 program for 2023 which will incorporate Australian cuisine, including Bushtukka, and influences on our contemporary food choices.

It is great to be back at it with two uninterrupted school semesters packed full of student exploration.

Students have continued to flourish this year within the electronics and 3D Printing workshop.

Year 9 students explored rapid manufacturing and 3D printed designs.

In addition, other classes studied forces and motion through the design and development of rocket propelled race cars.

Year 10 students designed and built a remotely operated submarine to operate in a simulated damaged nuclear powerplant to retrieve fission materials.

Our Year 10 and 11 Robotics classes explored Combat Robots, and very soon we had swarm of robots competing in Sumo, Jousting and Soccer competitions.

The value of our uninterrupted year has been most evident with our Year 12 VCE students. So much deep learning occurs in these independent projects.

boxes to store items and side tables made from hardwood timbers. These projects have been supported along the way with an online folio.

It is great watching the students design, build and test a Helicopter Simulator, Telepresence Robot, Drawing Art Robot, Submersible Vehicle, Underwater Drone, Robotic Hand and Warehousing logistics vehicle. The highlight of the year comes when we look back at the students folios and see the thoroughly documented research, designs, project management, production experiences, problem solving and final testing, a celebration of their journey of discovery and learning.

Onshape (Cad Drawing) was introduced. They learnt the basic operations of the program for them to create a drawing of their project they were intending to make.

DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY 2022 has been a fantastic year for Year 7s in the design Technology area. Students learnt about safety in a woodworking environment and applied their knowledge to create a safe working area for learning. Students brainstormed ideas around the brief “A catastrophic event destroyed all electricity and internet - create something to reduce your boredom”. A variety of materials were used to design and create something to keep the mind and hands busy. Many unique puzzles and games were the result.

Our Year 8 Materials and Design students have refreshed and improved their knowledge of tools and equipment working safety whilst working in the technology classroom.

Year 8s have been working on a series of Challenge projects.

This involved students working within set parameters to design and construct a Show it Challenge, helping them to improve skills.

Year 9 students built on their existing skills and knowledge using a range of techniques and equipment to process and transform materials into a finished product. Each student analysed the problem, designed a solution, constructed a product, and evaluated the process. Projects included small

86 | Nagle College 2022

Our Year 9 students have worked on a variety of tasks all have required them to expand on the skills and knowledge learnt during their junior years. Students designed and constructed small bedside/coffee tables or jewellery boxes.

Students in Year 10 developed solutions to a design problem. They were given parameters to follow (i.e. the product to be designed needed to have a minimum of two openings, a drawer, and a door). Some sections had to be framed while others could be solid timber. A choice of materials were also available. Students were required to research different types of joints to determine the best for their applications. Part of the process was to compile drawings of both the proposed finished product and the individual parts. Some students excelled at this using a CAD program while others used pencil and pare to create great drawings. Overall, most students had a successful and productive year.

Years 11 and 12 focused on sustainability and using recycled materials to produce products. The challenges of dismantling timber pallets into usable sections proved a real eye-opener for many. Designing a project around the recovered material was the next hurdle. Projects ranged from rustic shelf units to hang on a wall to a cat box for a pet cat to hide in. Incorporating another material into a project encouraged a bit more thought for the second project of the year with plenty of wire netting and roofing iron being included. Overall, a challenging year for students using materials they were not familiar with but also one they can proud of for what they have completed.

Health and PE Mr Nigel Carr, Health and PE Learning Area Leader

YEAR 11 AND 12 OUTDOOR EDUCATION Outdoor expeditions such as ‘The Bogong Expedition’ (Units 1 & 2) and the Mitchell River ‘Source to Sea’ Expedition (Units 3 & 4) provide the means for students to develop experiential knowledge of outdoor environments. Knowledge is then enhanced through the theoretical study of outdoor environments from perspectives of environmental history, ecology and social studies of human relationships with nature.

Our Year 11 Outdoor Ed students completed their Bogong Expedition – a 5-day bushwalk in the High Country. The walk starts from Mt Hotham and finishes with summiting Mt Bogong, Victoria’s highest Peak. Throughout the journey, students carry all their food and equipment in this amazing and challenging journey.

Our Year 12 Source to Sea excursion took place in March. Students hiked, cycled and canoed their way down to the Silt Jetties over 4-nights and 5-days. It’s long, tough journey but always ends with smiles.

Humanities Mrs Jenna O’Rourke, Humanities Learning Area Leader

The Humanities Learning Area at Nagle College continues to provide students with many opportunities to become active and engaged citizens. Subjects offered allow students to become knowledgeable about our community, country, and world, and to think about it critically.

The Year 7 Humanities course offers students the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge in the areas of History, Geography and Civics and Citizenship. As part of their Geography studies, Year 7 students participated in an excursion to deepen their understanding of the importance of the Mitchell River for supporting and sustaining the people of Bairnsdale and surrounding townships. Students followed the course of the river from the Den of Nargun down to its mouth at the Silt Jetties, as it flows into Lake King.

Over the course of this year, Humanities students in Year 8 have explored History, Geography and Business and Economics. Year 8 students participated in a Q & A session with the owner of local business, Big Bears Donuts, as part of their Business and Economics unit. This session enlightened them about some of the positive and negative aspects of owning a local business, and students analysed factors relating to the success of the business. The incursion ended with many students enjoying a Big Bears donut!

VCE Humanities classes continue to build real world knowledge and skills. The Learning Area will offer a range of VCE subjects in 2023, including Legal Studies, Accounting, Business Management, History and Geography.

Current Year 11 students have commented on how valuable the study of VCE Humanities subjects are: “The study of History allows us to learn from the past.”

Business Management is, “very informative and [provides] helpful guidance for running a business.”

88 | Nagle College 2022

“I can see the connections between what I study in Humanities subjects and what I anticipate the ‘real world’ will be like.”

“I have really built on my ability to refine my notes and interpret questions.”

“I can develop an argument logically and use evidence to support my perspectives.”

“Humanities is the key to understanding the nature of our modern world.”

“From bloody revolutions to the constitution of Australia, Humanities has it all.”

This year, VCE History students visited the Holocaust Museum in Melbourne. While there, students analysed artifacts connected to the Holocaust and had the amazing opportunity to speak to a Holocaust survivor. His story made many students reflect on how lucky they are.

Year 11 Geography students enjoyed fieldwork related to their tourism unit in Lakes Entrance.

Performing Arts Mrs Maureen Plunkett, Performing Arts Learning Area Leader

With little notice, the music department hastily moved essential equipment and resources to the Chapel during the week after students finished in 2021. A special thankyou to the Religious Education and Languages departments for lending us the Chapel and LL1 for an unknown period of time whilst our new building was being constructed. The beginning of 2022 was very organic, liaising with Mr Long’s instrumental program for space and with both programs alternating rooms and moving equipment regularly.

It was exciting to give Year 7 students the opportunity to try instruments again as a form of delivery for the curriculum.

Again, there were new post-COVID normals for hygiene and spacing but we made it work. It was uplifting (and very noisy) to see them all helping each other assemble wind and brass instruments and work out new notes in their small groups and playing as a band.

Year 8s entertained (or terrorised) the Senior Coordinators and Curriculum Office whilst African drumming outside the chapel on the seats under the shadow of St John Bosco.

There was a greater focus on use of musical elements in the drumming and Garage Band composition, and in developing vocabulary to describe the elements and the mood/effect they created.

Year 9 classes also had to be ready to use different rooms around the school according to availability and where they were at with curriculum. It all still happened, from the

90 | Nagle College 2022

Performance unit to Commercial Music and Real Wild Child. A huge thank you again to Mr Long and Mrs Rettino for their flexibility in relocating classes/students and equipment regularly.

Senior Music class may have been small but they were a passionate and focused group. All Year 12s chose to do the Solo Classical stream and a wonderful range of music for Classical Piano and Solo Saxophone filled the chapel and portable practice rooms. It was such a privilege to hear the students develop from knowing their notes by the end of Semester 1, to defining styles, and shaping phrases, dynamics and tone colours in their personalized interpretations for their final 25 minute program at the end of the year. I wish them well in their future courses, ranging from Environmental Studies and Engineering to Teaching.

DRAMA REPORT It was a busy year in Drama. Not only in the classroom but with our Drama Club as well. This year’s Open Night kicked off events with over 20 students participating in Theatre Sports. Performances took place on the outside stage and entertained prospective students and their parents.

The Drama club was bursting with enthusiasm and energy so they signed up for the Sale Eisteddfod. Despite many changes of the cast due to COVID, they jumped on a bus to Sale with roles still being reallocated. With great credit to the students and Mrs Jarvis’ last minute guidance, they took home first place in the Secondary school category with their performance of a scene from The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

In the later part of the year the College was thrilled to celebrate the return of Nagle’s got Talent’ where the Drama club once again participated, taking out first place in the mixed competition portion of the show! The creative staging, lighting and sheer talent of the students had the audience in stitches, and more importantly, the adjudicators too.

What an amazing year for the Drama department, despite the interruptions, and with the anticipated opening of our Performing Arts Centre next year, we look forward to many more performances in 2023. A special congratulations to Mrs Jarvis for all the lunchtimes, inspiration, and energy.

Visual Arts Mrs Sally Bailey, Visual Arts Learning Area Leader

It has been wonderful to have a full year of Visual Arts practical classes this year. The students have enjoyed creating larger pieces and using different media and techniques again. The Visual Arts this year have been using many of the media that we found limited in the past two years which can be seen in the art photos in this yearbook.

Senior classes visited three local galleries. These visits were highly educational and inspired students to see art possibilities with a fresh perspective. Nagle’s Got Talent Inter-House Photographic and Digital Arts competition took place with the students submitting, exhibiting, and voting for their favourites. Congratulation to all the students who participated for their House and viewed their photos on the competition evening or on the online exhibition.

Year 11 and 12 students exhibited their work in the Salesian Technology Centre during Graduation week. This gave the

92 | Nagle College 2022

area a creative atmosphere and provided the opportunity for Year 12 families to view the artworks and Visual Communication Design presentations displayed.

Junior students’ artwork was exhibited at the East Gippsland Art Gallery in the October at an exhibition titled “Next Generation” artwork of East Gippsland Schools. Years 9, 10 and 11 students exhibited 2D and sculptural artwork developed in their classes.

Thank you to the Visual Arts team of teachers, learning support officers and our technician, Kerri, for the wonderful and supportive environment that is achieved in the Art rooms. Students are challenged to work to develop their technical skills and abilities to create the visual pieces they plan and dream about.

Music Mr Andrew Long, Director of Music

2022 began with a positive vibe. After Covid and Remote Learning if finally felt like we were able to get back to ‘normal’. This proved to be true and became such a positive experience as the year progressed.

We always knew 2022 would still be a ‘different’ year.

Our Music wing was undergoing a major refurbishment including additional rooms and an auditorium being added. Once the building works are complete the Drama department will join us to form a Nagle ‘Arts Precinct’.

Exciting times lay ahead for our Music and Performing Arts departments. Our music staff and equipment were relocated to work out of the St John Bosco Chapel. With a loose timeline we settled in and made the best of this beautiful space. I am certain that the Don Bosco would have enjoyed the music and energy our music students have bought to the Chapel throughout the year. The development of the ‘Arts Precinct’ has experienced some delays due to wet weather and material supply (to be expected post Covid). We have been able to watch it grow and, wow, we look forward to the end result.

94 | Nagle College 2022

TERM 1 Establishing regular lesson routine was our focus. Students were keen to get going and to re-engage in our College bands. As continuing students began their weekly lessons, new enrollments joined us. Bands morphed and changed as we again began rehearsing regularly.

Nagle Open Night provided a performance opportunity for some of our senior students during first term.

TERM 2 Our Nagle musicians were pleased to be invited to participate in the 2022 East Gippsland Music Festival. The event was cancelled last year due to Covid only weeks before the event – but not this time! This annual festival is a wonderful opportunity for local schools to bring their music students together for a full-day musical workshop experience, culminating in an all-in extravaganza concert. This gave such focus for lesson material, rehearsals and a time-line that made our band students put their heads down and work!

Having experienced these in past years, I have witnessed how this provides a positive experience and motivation for all involved. It turned out to be a wonderful festival with our students stepping up and participating. Nagle had students involved in all combined bands and Choir. Never before had I experienced such a sense of togetherness between the schools involved. This was obvious with both students and staff. It was as if the last few years had been a wake-up call, and we were now able to fully appreciate how positive this coming together really was.

TERM 3 Piano students held their Annual Piano Concert in our own St John Bosco Chapel. This evening concert was well supported by parents and family. Many students presented a duet piece as well as their own solo.

Talent Night was also held in Term 3 which included some great musical performances amongst the competitive acts. (refer to separate yearbook review). Mid-year marked an opportunity for several of our music students to participate in the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB)

exams. With diligent practice and focus they achieved good results. Well done to all, including our music teachers.

The Annual Music Concert showcased band performances with the relief of being able to resume such an experience for both students and parents. After months of rehearsing all students performed their best on the night in front of proud parents and an enthusiastic audience.

Throughout the year, our music students have contributed to many College activities. The College Masses and Liturgies have included performances from the Liturgical Music class and Choir/Singers. Their music has added emotive meaning and enhanced connection to these events. Special performances were arranged to augment college events such as ANZAC Day, Presentation Ceremony, and more.

Thank you to the 2022 Music/Arts Captains Nicholas McLaughlin and Matthew Cole for their wonderful contribution. Thank you to all our music staff who guide and mentor students, lead bands and teach weekly music lessons. We look forward to experiencing our new music rooms, drama room and auditorium in 2023!

Applied Learning Mrs Tina Sonka, Learning Area Leader

Applied learning is often referred to as ‘hands-on’ learning.

Nagle College offers a wide range of Applied Learning programs, including VCAL and VET programs. Some of the VET programs are delivered on campus and others are delivered off campus by other training providers. Featured below are some of Applied Learning programs offered at Nagle College.

VICTORIAN CERTIFICATE OF APPLIED LEARNING (VCAL) Staff and students were relieved to see that the school year was relatively normal.

Students started the year preparing for Structured Work Placement in Terms 2 and 3. Students commenced the required Occupational Health and Safety modules and certificates, researching roles and responsibilities and

96 | Nagle College 2022

workplace expectations. Students identified their skills, interests and abilities and began to investigate potential work placements.

Throughout the year students have participated in a range of practical activities including creating Industry Induction Kits, developing sporting activities, Community projects, passion projects, designing and preparing meals for the local foodbank, creating banners for the Nagle College library, designing and making giant outdoor games for the Nagle College pastoral groups, participating in the baking challenges offered by the Bairnsdale show.

In the practical workshop students participated in induction activities to familiarise themselves with the safe operation of machines and tools. They put their skills into practice by making Habitat boxes. Students then created products to sell at the Makers Market.

The Makers Market involved students designing and creating a product or products. The challenge for the students is that they have a budget of $20. Students develop marketing material to promote their product, they work in a team to plan and organise the market. The Year 11 students create a pitch to decided which community organisation students will support. Proceeds from the Makers Market are donated to a community organisation. Students designed creative products from meat rubs to hand carved wooden spoons, board games, wooden toys, chopping boards, and scented candles to name a few.

Students participated in the Structured Workplace Learning program in Terms 2 and 3. Throughout the year, several VCAL students gained apprenticeships and traineeships which is a fantastic result. Well done to them.

In Term 4 students researched employment opportunities and prepared applications for a selected employment opportunity. The Year 12 students participated in a “Beyond Nagle” program. They took part in workshops and had numerous guest speakers. Students learnt what is involved in renting a house, applying and registering for jobs, the technical aspects of traineeships and apprenticeships and mindfulness. Some of the guest speakers included AGA, Centrelink, O’Brien’s Real Estate, Workways and Headspace. Nagle College is very lucky to be supported by local businesses who are generous in sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience.

Year 12s prepared a farewell lunch to celebrate the end of their Senior VCAL. All VCAL students participate in literacy and numeracy activities which have a real-life application such as budgeting, planning, and costing trips and sports projects.

Next year Nagle College will be switching to the VCE Vocational Major.

The VCE Vocational Major is a two-year vocational and applied learning program that will replace Senior and Intermediate VCAL and offer a program that enables successful transitions into apprenticeships, traineeships, further education and training, or directly into employment.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET) VET Sport and Recreation VET Sport and Recreation students completed all the required practical and theory work for their core and elective units. In Term 3 the first year students took part in a one-day first aid course where they were taught first aid theory and demonstrated all the required practical components to successfully obtain their Level 2 Provide First Aid certificate. In Term 4, first year students participated in a two-day Pool Lifeguard course at the BARC. This course required students to learn and demonstrate various hand signals, rescues and associated pool lifeguard scanning techniques. Students also had to swim 200m using a range of strokes in under six minutes to qualify. Well done to everyone on successfully obtaining their pool lifeguard certificates. Also in Term 4, both the first and second year students planned and taught a variety of fun games at the annual Fun4Fours day. All students did a fantastic job as the face of Nagle College for the Grade 4 students from the various primary schools in our area who by all accounts had a fantastic day. Congratulations to all students on a great year.

VET Building VET Building Year 1 students have had a good year.

Various projects have built upon their skills and confidence using hand and power tools. Several students have gained employment in the construction industry or are looking to further their learning in this area. There is a lot to get through with the Hand and Power tools module and keeping students focused is a priority along with safety.

Using a gas powered nailer was a highlight for students with lots of 75 and 50mm nails in pieces of timber. It made students appreciate that they don’t need to hammer-in nails.

The year culminated with building four outdoor tables and chairs for the proposed Japanese garden and gave the students a chance to display their skills. Overall a very productive year with a huge increase in skill level.

Koorie Education Mrs Tania Holmes and Ms Toni Collins

This year there has been five Year 12 First Nations Graduates at Nagle College. These are Jayden Finn, Cooper Vickery, Cameron Edwards, Natalie Reed and Adam Rowe-Schaeche. Adam also received the Nagle Graduation and Reconciliation Possum Skin Cloak. This is the highest number of Indigenous Graduates to graduate from Year 12 in a single year at Nagle.

Jayden Finn

Cooper Vickery

Cameron Edwards

Cooper Vickery has had a successful year in his football career. He has a full season at NAB league level with Gippsland Power and was included in the NAB League Team of the Year Honours . Cooper has now been invited to join the National Draft. This is a commendable achievement as some weeks he has had to travel from Orbost to Morwell twice a week for training and the game all while juggling a Year 12 VCE workload. On 27 November, Cooper was drafted to play for the Sydney Swans as pick 27 in the NAB AFL Draft. Our school community congratulates Cooper.

Reconciliation Week was celebrated at Nagle College organised by the Koorie Eduaction Department with cultural officers from GLAWAC staff, Robert Baxter and past student Harley Finn. They had morning tea with the staff under a beautiful artwork completed by students in the bushtucker class with supervision and assistance by teacher Mrs Jenny Rawlings . Harley and Rob attended the Bushtucker class and assisted with Boomerang artwork and burning. The men also took the class over to the grinding grooves onsite at Nagle. This was done with strict cultural rules around gender with female students unable to have

98 | Nagle College 2022

Adam Rowe-Schaeche

physical contact with the stones. The class finished out on the oval with the men teaching Boomerang throwing.

The Bushtucker class started with the history of the Gunaikurnai people.The class visited the Krowathunkooloong Keeping place to assist with this. The class learnt some Gunaikurnai symbols supplied by Alfie Hudson and also researched some local animals which were incorporated into a design to be burnt onto a boomerang which when completed they were able to take home. The highlight of the bushtucker class was a enjoyable trip to GLAWAC where they were Welcomed to Country by Harley Finn And Robert Baxter. The class had a tour through the Journey Wall and Art Gallery and enjoyed a deadly meal from the Bushtukka Café . The excursion ended with an awesome session about art and a Possum Skin Cloak with Alice Pepper. Alice taught the students the uses of and spiritual connection to the Possum Skin Cloak.

Year 7 Camp was also integrated with Reconciliation Week.

It was an on-site camp run at Nagle due to COVID. The students completed artwork with the guidance of Tania

Holmes under protocols set out initially by Alfie Hudson.

They were also introduced to the background and creation of the Nagle Possum Graduation Cloak.

During the Year 8 Camp, students visited The Keeping place where Rob Hudson, shared the history and significance of Krowathunkoloong and the services that are provided from GEGAC to the community today. Students then travelled to The Den of Nargun and whilst the girls sat and reflected down at the Den of Nargun, which is a woman’s place, the boys followed the tracks to the lookout.

AFL Footballer and Media Personality Eddie Betts visited Bairnsdale and attended a day organised by G.E.G.A.C . That evening he spoke at a dinner at the Sporting and Convention Centre and Koorie Coordinator Tania Holmes organised a large number of Nagle staff to attend. They were able to listen to many of Eddies life stories which were at times funny but also sad, emotional and confronting. Local identities Wilfred Carter, Alana Solomon and Judy-Ann Alexander also spoke about their life experiences growing up on Gunaikurnai country.

Nagle staff also received Cultural Awareness training with a visit from the C.E.O offices Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education officer, Peta Murray. Peta spoke at an after school staff meeting and provided the outlines of a First Nations Learning Framework.

On 23 November our students, Tania ,Toni and accompanying teacher Juliette Campagna took up the opportunity to go and listen to the talk ‘Dare to Dream’ given by Isaiah Firebrace at the Forge Creek Theatre. Isaiah was the winner of the 2016 X-Factor competition and was Australias Eurovision entrant in 2017.He spoke about a range of issues that he overcame growing up as a First Nations teenager.The students got to hear one song , ask questions and have a photo with Isaiah.

The Koorie Education staff and students celebrated the end of the year with a special lunch on 23 November. The students were all invited to bring a friend. Plans were also made to introduce some exciting new programs for next year.

Nagle College acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of this land and waters on which we learn, the Gunaikurnai people, and pay our respects to the Elders, past, present and emerging.

Careers Ms Louise Kelly, Careers and Pathways Coordinator

In 2022, we started to get back to some kind of normality after the last two years of Covid. Structured workplace learning recommenced in many industries and our VCAL students took advantage of this. A number of our Year 10 and VCE students also participated in structured workplace learning throughout the year. I would like to sincerely thank all the employers who have taken our students this year – despite being understaffed. Your dedication to helping young people understand the world of work is important.

We could not have such a program without your continued support.

The Tertiary Information Service came to Bairnsdale mid-year and our Year 12 students learnt about applying to university and TAFE, and what life may be like for them at university. Several tertiary institutions were also present so students could gather information for themselves about specific courses and pathways. Students learnt a lot from this and it helped make some vital decisions for the future. It also helped some make choices over which open days they would attend later in the year.

Most of the university and TAFEs moved their open days back to their campuses, rather than online, which helped students get a better feel about what it would be like at university. Some still had online sessions, which were valuable for students who couldn’t make it in person.

102 | Nagle College 2022

In October, the Gippsland East Local Learning and Employment Network organised a health forum for Year 10 and 11 students. Various speakers from BRHS, GLCH, Federation University and TAFE Gippsland outlined the range of jobs available in the health industry and how you get into those roles, examples of what health workers do on a daily basis, training and education options to gain qualifications and the advantages of learning locally, transferability of skills for health industry roles and the future developments for our region with regards to accessibility and service delivery. This was well received by students as they have not had access to such information of any structured workplace learning in any areas of the health sector now for nearly three years.

Finally, I would like to thank my administration assistant Mrs Karen Dukakis for all she does to make sure the Careers department runs smoothly, as well as Mrs Tina Sonka and Mrs Gabrielle Costin for their support and assistance. I would also like to thank the Year 9 and 10 Pathways teachers for their hard work in assisting our students in thinking about their life after Nagle.

Religious Education Mrs Rose Lee, Catholic Identity and Religious Education

What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8).

Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life; rather, look to them with full hope that as they arise, God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand it, God will carry you in His arms.

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you then and every day.

He will either shield you from suffering, or will give you unfailing strength to bear it.

Be at peace, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imagination.

—St Francis de Sales

The Salesian Strenna 2022: ‘Do all through love, nothing through constraint.’ These words capture the essence of our Catholic faith and the Salesian spirit. The Salesian charism is a way of acknowledging the gift of the Holy Spirit that was given specifically in the prayer journey and spiritual friendship of Saint Francis de Sales. Salesian Spirituality is named after St. Francis de Sales (Sales-ian). On 24 January 24 2022, we celebrated the 400th anniversary of Saint Francis de Sales who Don Bosco saw as someone to imitate, someone to model himself on for his life’s work. In fact, when he was ordained a priest, he made this resolution: ‘The love and gentleness of St Francis de Sales will guide me in everything’.

As we reflect on 2022, we are reminded that Salesian Spirituality calls us to discover the presence of God in our lives in the present moment. United with our loving God, we need not fear the future nor dwell on the mistakes of the past.

It was a great pleasure to welcome Bishop Greg Bennet to Nagle College in August this year. Bishop Greg made a commitment to speak with all Year 8 students across the

104 | Nagle College 2022

diocese. Whilst Bishop Greg was at Nagle on this day, our student leaders spent time getting to know him and our new ‘Risen Christ’ sculpture was officially blessed and unveiled.

LITURGIES We were unable to commence the year with the traditional Year 7 liturgy for parents on the first day of school as Covid restrictions were still in place.

In March, the whole school came together to celebrate ‘Commencement Mass.’ A beautiful and reflective Mass was celebrated by Fr Michael Willemsen to begin the school year. The scriptural readings and words of wisdom from Fr Michael assisted in breaking open the Salesian strenna, ‘Do all through love, nothing through constraint.’ At the conclusion of Mass, the Year 12 students were presented with a special Year 12 badge and made their pledge and commitment to work together, be supportive and inspire one another as they journey together through their final year of school.

We celebrated an Easter Liturgy reflecting on our Lenten journey. As we entered into Holy Week the liturgy assisted

us to reflect on Jesus’ life and work; the last meal with his disciples and his suffering and death on the cross. For Christians, Easter Sunday is a significant celebration of Jesus’ death to new life. No matter where we are on our journey of faith and life, we are all invited to be more like Jesus by living a life of faith, hope and service to others.

It was wonderful to come together for the first time in three years to celebrate Founders’ Day Mass. We commenced the celebration with the ringing of the original Nagle College Bell which calls us to ‘Let our Light Shine.’ Our celebrant Fr Michael, provided us with thought-provoking reflections along with beautiful and uplifting music from our liturgical music group. The liturgy provided the opportunity to recall the strengths and unique qualities of people from long ago.

Many of these people are remembered, especially because of a talent or an event that occurred in their lives. We welcomed special guests Mr Albert Pruscino and Mrs Trish Veevers who represented Bairnsdale’s St Vincent De Paul society who accepted a large donation of food pantry items from students. We have yet again had a wonderful response to the Food Drive call which will benefit many needy families within our community.

It was lovely to be together as a faith-filled community that included parents, grandparents and friends to celebrate

the momentous occasion of the Graduation Mass for the first time in three years. The liturgy was an emotional celebration of joy, and hard work, highlighting the strength and importance of relationships.

The Year 7 cohort provided an emotional musical gift by singing ‘Hall of Fame.’ This has been a long tradition of the graduation celebration.

The 12 students chose the theme, ‘We can’t change the past, but we can make the future.’ Our Year 12 students have come to the end of their educational journey at Nagle College, and we now hope and pray that they are guided by the teachings of Nano Nagle and Don Bosco.

Liturgies are an important aspect of the Catholic faith and education. They play a unique and critical role in the formation of Catholic identity. It provides opportunities for students to be involved in various ways, such as the reading of prayers and scripture, creating music and singing. I am particularly grateful to our Faith and Justice Captains, Angus Anderson and Dale Mitchelson- Twigg along with the Youth Ministry and Liturgical Music students who have been wonderful models of faith, willing to contribute to all our liturgies and prayer celebrations.

RETREATS The Year 12 Retreat provides time out from the busyness of school life with a focus on personal and spiritual development. This year, students spent three days at Coonawarra. In a relaxed, informal way, students were provided with an opportunity to reflect on their life’s journey, share with others the important aspects of life, and build self-understanding. There was time to reflect personally on their faith, to celebrate through liturgy and prayer and to have fun together in a spirit of community.

106 | Nagle College 2022

The Year 9, 10 and 11 students spent a day with Chris Doyle from Karis Ministries, Sydney. The Reflection Day provided our students with the opportunity to strengthen relationships with fellow students, deepen self-knowledge, explore their relationship with God, and take time out to reflect and search for balance/harmony in life, through music, laughter, reflective meditations, and team building activities.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

‘SHINE’ - SENIOR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Carita’s Australia: “End poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity - For all future Generations.”

In 2022, SHINE, a new Religious Education program designed for Year 11 and 12 was introduced. A key element to SHINE is to provide students with experiences to encounter Christ in meaningful and engaging ways.

Social action brings into focus Jesus’ vision for the Kingdom of God. Project compassion, Carita’s Australia is held throughout the Lenten season and each Pastoral class worked together to fundraise and became part of a just community.

The generosity of kind, everyday people is what makes a difference in the lives of vulnerable communities globally.

In an effort to reach out to those in our community who struggle at Christmas time, Mrs Josie Boland coordinated a ‘Toy Drive’ giving our students the opportunity to bring along a small toy to be donated to families in need within our community. It is in these actions, that we demonstrate dignity for each person, as faithful followers of Christ.

YME COOKIES As people of faith, we continue to search for ways to connect with each other in search of joy and happiness. The Youth Ministry students assisted by their teacher Mrs Rosie Colvin spent time cooking up batches of delicious cookies, enough for everyone in the school. These were shared after an assembly in July. A wonderful gesture of goodwill. Well done to the YME students and Mrs Colvin.

108 | Nagle College 2022

SHINE has provided students with many opportunities to discuss and reflect on their spiritual journey. We look forward to further developing SHINE throughout 2023 to provide enriching experiences for our senior students.

As 2022 comes to a close, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Religious Education team and to all staff who continue to uphold the ethos and values of Catholic Education. Special gratitude needs to be extended to Mrs Josie Boland, our Religious Education Junior Coodinator who is fully committed to bringing forth the Kingdom of God to our students, staff and families.

My sincere thanks and appreciation to our Religious Education Assistant, Georgia Beaumont Jessop who willingly shares her artistic talent and is committed to supporting Religious Education at Nagle College. I would like to wish everyone a blessing filled Christmas season and look forward to the abundant blessings of 2023.

Arthur Grassby Scholarship Chantelle Cooksley and Kelsey Baylis

By Chantelle Cooksley My name is Chantelle, and I am in Year 12 and graduating Nagle College. I have always been interested in World War II and when the Arthur Grassby Scholarship came around, I couldn’t miss it. In 2021 I applied for the scholarship but due to covid it was postponed. Luckily I was able to go in 2022 with the Year 11 winners. The Arthur Grassby Scholarship gives Year 11 East Gippsland students the opportunity to walk the Kokoda Trail, in the footsteps of the 39th Battalion, which included 67 Gippslanders – among them, Arthur Grassby.

Mr Grassby grew up in East Gippsland, enlisting into war at age 16. There were 120 men in the 39th Battalion who were assigned to Papua New Guinea (PNG). Mr Grassby was wounded at the battle of Isurava only weeks after arriving in PNG. Sick with Malaria, and with shrapnel in his shoulder, Mr Grassby walked to Port Moseby assisted by the Papuan carriers. Mr Grassby recovered, and returned to Australia aboard a hospital ship after his true age was discovered.

I would like to quote a poem written by a man who served in the war. His mother was so impressed that she had it published in the Brisbane Newspaper.

The WX Unknown We knew he came from the Western State, Though to us he remained unknown.

For the WX was marked in his hat The rest a mortar had blown.

We buried him there, on the mountain spur, where the trees are draped in moss.

We thought of his mother, no news for her of that irreplaceable loss.

Just a boy he looked, with his snowy hair, 126 | Nagle College 2022

As we laid him down in the clay.

The padre’s voice was low and clear, No others had words to say.

Yet we knew a mother would watch and wait, for a letter sent by her boy, How she would dream of the things he did, How his first words caused her joy And as he went off to school or game, he’d wave her fond goodbyes.

Just as he did when the great call came, And the hot tears hurt her eyes.

Perhaps she will know in some unknown way, Of that little rugged cross, The remains of her hero beneath it lay, Where the trees are draped in moss.

We cursed the foe, who stripped the dead, No pity on them can be shown.

We marked his cross so it can be read, “WX” Unknown.”

I heard this poem for the first time from our Trek Leader, Charlie Lynn. This poem had a great impact on me – It gave me a deeper understanding of the soldiers who once walked the trek. That day, I realised how much these men sacrificed for their families and for our freedom that we have today.

The trek itself was challenging. It was hot, there was mud up to our knees, the rainfall made the dirt very slippery, the humidity was tiring, we shed tears and were exhausted.

I knew the trail would be tough, but I never expected it to be that difficult. The jungle was thick and dense, and the valleys and ridges were tiring to trek through.

The porters who were by our side throughout the trail are the descendants of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels, who aided our Australian soldiers in the Campaign to Safety. The porters from Adventure Kokoda were very supportive and had an

amazing amount of knowledge which they shared with us along the journey. I would recommend that anyone walk the Kokoda Trail, no matter your age. If you put your mind to it, you can do it.

Year 10 students who are interested in walking in the footsteps of our fallen soldiers should apply for the Arthur Grassby Scholarship. It brings the younger generation closer to our military heritage – all students should have an appreciation for and our history and should never forget the achievements of our heroes.

By Kelsey Baylis (photos provided by Kelsey) The Arthur Grassby Scholarship aims to bring motivated Year 11 students from the Gippsland area together to walk in the footsteps of our ANZACS including Mr Grassby himself. To see the topography of the land, the harsh weather climate, and the thickness of the jungle, it left me in great admiration of these men who sacrificed everything for what we have today.

Everyone told me how steep the hills are and how thick the humidity is, but I don’t think you can ever fully-understand until you’re there. Every day looked similar but had their own separate battles. We would wake at 4:30am to Major Charlie Lynns wakeup call and averaged 10 hours a day of hiking through thick Papuan forest with inclines as high as mount Kosciusko. We finished the day with a river swim, a meal from the camp cook, and then headed straight to bed.

To put the trail into perspective, mount Everest base camp is based on a level 10/10 toughness and Kokoda is a 7/10.

I gained great perspective from locals across all the villages we passed through and stayed at. I was astounded with their outlook on life – they are the happiest people I have ever met. We all opened our eyes to this culture reflected on how we could be more thankful for the simple things in life.

Walking through the arches at the end of the trek is by far my biggest accomplishment in my life. We walked a total of 140km through a jungle of mud, humidity, rain, sweat, tears, and fatigue but it was all worth it when we saw those arches in sight. I can’t explain the number of emotions I felt walking through. The constant support that was given over the past nine days had made me realise how much mateship matters when things get tough. It was crazy to think that nine days ago, the majority of us were strangers. We now have a unique bond that we won’t find with anyone else.

Overall, Kokoda was an experience of a lifetime. I am grateful for all the lessons and values I have learnt.

This experience taught me the meaning of patience, perseverance, mateship, and endurance on a whole new level than before. I strongly encourage younger year levels to consider applying for this scholarship in Year 10 – you will learn lessons that cannot be taught anywhere else. A massive thank you to Tim Bull – this scholarship wouldn’t be possible without his dedication and support.
