Principal’s Report “The students’ commitment to others was evident throughout a highly successful Edmund Rice Day as well as assistance provided to a range of community organisations caring for the marginalised, throughout the year. “ - Paul Tobias

The College enrolment has continued to grow with this year’s enrolment increasing to 1390 students. Our current site is extensive but as the numbers have increased over recent years we may be approaching a stage whereby other options for future development may need to be explored.

Our VCE results for the year were as follows: In 2010 10% of VCE students achieved an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank score in excess of 90 and the Dux of the College was Carl Di Rocco with an ATAR score of 98.6.

This year was the seventy fifth anniversary of our College and on 16 September we also celebrated two other significant events, namely the rededication of the Br O S Adams Centre and the renaming of the Noble Street oval to the O’Driscol Oval. The rededication was achieved after the completion of building works which more than doubled the size of the previous centre and included audio visual equipment, a wellness centre, physical education classrooms and storage areas as well as enhanced staff study spaces. After more than twelve months of outdoor assemblies, the entire school is once again able to assemble in an appropriate space indoors. As principal, I am grateful to all those who contributed to our Capital Appeal which was underwritten by the College Foundation. The refurbished centre has become a reality as a result of the financial support of the wider St Joseph’s community.

The purchase of the western portion of the former Noble Street oval from the State Government of Victoria, allowed us to rename the oval in honour of Mr Daniel O’Driscol who managed St Augustine’s orphanage from 1857 until his death on 1878. The oval was the site of the original orphanage and the naming acknowledges Daniel O’Driscol’s care of and dedication to underprivileged children.

Other beneficial changes to the physical environment of the College have taken place throughout the course of the year including the relocation of the Careers Centre and the Education Support Centre. In addition to these improvements,

the Parents and Friends Association sponsored the building of two beach volleyball courts and contributed to the purchase of gymnasium equipment for the newly created wellness centre.

Joint school captains Darcy Moore and Tom Cooper were fortunate to attend an Edmund Rice Education immersion program in South Africa during the summer holidays. Both students proved to be committed leaders especially in the area of social justice. The commitment to community service was extended beyond the student leadership group, to include all students throughout the College.

The students’ commitment to others was evident throughout a highly successful Edmund Rice Day as well as assistance provided to a range of community organisations caring for the marginalised, throughout the year. The refugee holiday program conducted during the third term holidays was another fine example of faith in action.

The College continued to emphasise strongly pastoral care and student welfare. St Joseph’s was formally accredited as a Restorative Justice school following a visit from the Deputy Director of the Catholic Education Office Melbourne, Mrs Maria Kirkwood. As a community, we also took the opportunity at a full school assembly, to reaffirm the importance of addressing the issue of homophobic bullying in our College. Mental Health Week provided further opportunities to highlight issues impacting on the lives of young men. Our Year 11 Psychology students, with the support of staff, provided a variety of educative activities around mental health. One of the most powerful events was former AFL player, Nathan Thompson’s address to a full school assembly, relating his battle with depression at the height of his sporting career.

This year was a unique one for Australian Catholics with the canonisation of Australia’s first Saint, Mary MacKillop. Celebrations at St Joseph’s included an evening lecture series on Mary’s life and a pilgrimage to Penola. Two students, Luke Christensen and Tanner Redden, attended the ceremony in Rome.

Our College Board and associated sub committees

have continued to support the Management Team and at the same time explore strategic challenges for the future. Two areas which have received extensive consideration, have been planning around the possibility of establishing a separate Year 9 program into the future and the implementation of one to one computing, which will become a reality in 2011.

The year was not without its sporting and cultural successes with the Year 10 and Senior, Associated Catholic Colleges Australian Rules Football premierships coming our way. The annual musical production, “Jesus Christ Superstar” enjoyed full houses at the newly refurbished Playhouse Theatre on 18, 19 and 20 of August.

Our Parents and Friends Association continued to host a variety of successful functions including a revamped fashion parade in the form of a High Tea hosted by Truffleduck at Balmoral Receptions.

Once again, the proceeds will be passed on to the Christian Brothers Foundation for Charitable Works.

The Old Collegians as part of the seventy fifth anniversary celebrations held their first Ad Alta Awards Night in November. The first five recipients of the inaugural awards were: the Hon Justice Bernard Bongiorno AO, Mr Cameron Ling, Mr Peter O’Rorke OAM (posthumous), Mrs Kate Parke and Br DM Stan McCabe FCH.

contribution to the life of St Joseph’s and I wish her well for the future. Other staff members who have made valuable contributions but who will not be returning next year include Mr Phil Bates, Mr Kamil Gomularz, Mrs Michelle Anderson and Ms Michelle Sweeney.

I am grateful to all those volunteers and staff who have provided so much support over the course of the year. I am especially indebted to the management team consisting of Deputy Principals Claire Brown and Paul Clohesy, Business Manager Terry Fowler, Director of Curriculum Rob Blackley and Director of Mission Anthony Chapman. The College is fortunate to have such a talented group in senior management roles. I acknowledge all of the work done and evident good will of the teaching and support staff, parents and of course the students themselves. We are all fortunate to be part of an exceptional extended community.

I extend to the St Joseph’s Community my best wishes for the year ahead and I look forward to continuing the work of our founder, Edmund Rice, in the coming year.

God Bless Paul Tobias

During the first term holidays the president of our Men’s Association, Mr Phil Biscombe died peacefully, after a brief battle with cancer. Phil, like so many of our volunteers, had a great love of the College and remained as president well after his youngest son had left the College. May he rest in peace.

As principal, I need to acknowledge the resignation of long serving staff member Mrs Amy Wert. Amy has worked in our Music Department for the past fifteen years and has been our Director of Music for many years. Amy has been one of the most influential staff members, in working to change the culture of our College in recent times. Her professionalism and drive to lift standards in Music have been much appreciated. Amy has made an outstanding

College Board Report “The College has, over 75 years of operation, developed into a School of choice amongst the Geelong community. This has happened not by chance but through the hard work of many staff and Principals over the years. As a School, we are extremely fortunate to be led by a Principal and Management Team that has the vision, enthusiasm and drive to keep evolving our School in a way that captures the demand of the Community.”

It is with the greatest pleasure that I can present the Annual Board report for 2010. This has been a momentous year for the College on many fronts, and in particular in the celebration of the School’s 75th anniversary.

The College has, over 75 years of operation, developed into a School of choice amongst the Geelong community. This has happened not by chance but through the hard work of many staff and Principals over the years. As a School, we are extremely fortunate to be led by a Principal and Management Team that has the vision, enthusiasm and drive to keep our school evolving in a way that captures the demand of the Community. We have a tremendous leadership team at the School led by Paul Tobias (Principal), Claire Brown & Paul Clohesy (Deputy Principals). They are to be commended for their tireless efforts.

The demand and need for Catholic education in the Geelong region is as strong as ever and this is evidenced by an ever growing need for extra streams to be added.

We are looking at opportunities to cope with this increasing demand which will mean that, in some form, we will need to continue an aggressive capital works program in the years to come, whether that be on the existing Newtown footprint, or elsewhere.

The opening of the new Br O S Adams Centre gymnasium was a marvellous occasion and a huge success. The planning and work that has gone into this particular project over several years has been incredible, and to see this building completed and opened in our 75th year was significant. The functionality of this new gymnasium is excellent and much needed. A huge thank you must go to the School Community, who assisted in the raising of funds, in particular to the Foundation Committee who have underwritten and contributed $500,000 towards this project. To those also who made donations to this cause, we all thank you for this. It is great to be able to have assemblies and the like with the whole school present in the new gymnasium. We should all be proud of this amazing facility.

Another major event in our 75th year was the fencing and naming of the O’Driscoll Oval, formally know as the Noble Street Oval. We were very pleased to be able to acknowledge the contribution and history that Mr Daniel O’Driscoll made to our College all those years ago. To have the oval fenced and “re-claimed” as part of our identity is also very significant for the College.

As mentioned above, the Board have asked the School Management to consider the positives and negatives of a potential Year 9 campus in the years to come. Whilst this study and analysis is ongoing, it potentially gives us

the opportunity to increase our intakes and therefore meet growing demands for Catholic Education in the local community.

For this reason, there is continual planning and assessment of capital expenditure programs. Whilst this may cause pressure from time to time on school fees, it builds a wonderful opportunity for our children, and beyond that, their children.

During the year, the College Board went away for their customary Board seminar. This has always proved to be very successful and 2010 was no exception. Significant time at this seminar was given to considering future strategies for the College, financial planning and many other things. Of great importance to us this year was to gain further understanding and agreement on our new one to one computing philosophy. The Board is extremely excited about how this change can take our children’s learning to the next level. We also understand the financial impost that this will have on families, but we are confident that we have approved the most cost effective and appropriate model available to us. This decision was not taken lightly and the sheer fact that we have gone for a staggered implementation is consistent with careful planning.

2010 has seen much engagement with Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) on many fronts. On several occasions, the Board Chairs from all the Victorian EREA Schools met to consider how we can collectively engage with one another for the betterment of all our Schools.

We had three new members join the School Board at the start of the year, Mr Chris Caldow, Mr Peter Woodruff and Ms Libby Mears. It’s always good to get new people on the Board from time to time as they can bring fresh ideas and thoughts. Whilst it is good to see new people willing to become available to sit on our Board, it is also sad to see people departing.

At the end of 2010, we see the departure of Mr Dennis Teale. Dennis has served on the Board for three years and has also been the Chair of our Finance and Planning Committee for the past two years. Dennis has made a tremendous contribution and unfortunately, work commitments will prevent Dennis from continuing. We wish him well and thank him for his contribution.

In conclusion, I personally would like to offer a big thank you to Mr Paul Tobias, Ms Claire Brown, Mr Paul Clohesy, Mrs Maureen Bryant, Mrs Adel Mawson and the Management Team at St Joseph’s for a hugely successful 75th year for our College and their ongoing support of our Board.

St Joseph’s College Foundation It is with great pleasure that I report on some of the highlights of the past year and acknowledge some outstanding contributions made by members of the St Joseph’s community.

This year we have three additional new faces on the team. This swells the numbers on our Management Committee to nine. David Formosa, the College Development Manager, Robert Threlfall, he has two boys at Joeys Ben (Year 9) and Sam ( Year 7), Chris Holien, a veteran, whose son Drew graduated in 2005, Joe Virgona, father of six whose last son Joshua graduated in 2000. Our new members, Paul Treloar who has a son Luke (Year 7), Heather Kelly who has sons Rory ( Year 10) and Angus ( Year 7) and Tracey Simic who has a son Thomas ( Year 10). Last, but by no means least, our Chairman for the past 10 years, and ongoing member, Mr Kevin Costa. It would be remiss of me if I didn’t pass on a sincere vote of thanks to Kevin. He has been an inspirational leader to our group - and a mentor for all who have dealt with him in one way or another.

Each year the Foundation coordinates the Combined Catholic Schools Raffle involving St Joseph’s College, Clonard College and St Ignatius College. This year the schools were able to sell over $50,000 in raffle tickets which goes back into each of the schools to assist with bursaries and programs.

It was a great privilege to attend the opening and rededication of the Br O S Adams Centre in September. It is a truly fantastic addition to the College’s facilities; and the real highlight for me is the retractable seats which were demonstrated on the night. One of the guest speakers was TV legend and Old Collegian Dr Peter Larkins who was our Capital Appeal patron.

Our Capital Appeal target was $500,000. Currently, we have a shortfall of $80,000. Considering the impact of the Global Financial Crisis, and simultaneous appeals at other Geelong schools, this certainly is a fantastic result.

Our Appeal goal was underpinned by some very generous patrons, and, on behalf of the Management Committee I would like to acknowledge them: The Costa families and The Costa Foundation

Greg and Maureen Bryant and family Michael and Louise King and family John and Anne Miller and family and a special acknowledgement to the Old Collegians Association who donated $50,000 to our Capital Appeal and the Parents and Friends Association, who donated $15,000 towards the Capital Appeal and approx $20,000 worth of gym equipment. To everyone who donated we thank you sincerely.

It has been a busy six months for the Management Committee, as past Chairman Kevin Costa noted at our last AGM, we have generated over $1million, invested in property, shares, and cash deposits.

Over the 15 year journey our Capital Appeals have established: the Chapel Restoration, the Peter Cannon Performing Arts Centre, and, as I mentioned earlier, the Br O S Adams Centre extension.

Since our AGM, we have focused on the implementation of an updated Mission and Vision Statement, and a Business Plan to fulfil our mission.

On a more sombre note I acknowledge the passing of three members this year Dr Bruce Guaran, Mr Peter O’Rorke OAM SJOCA 1957 died in May 2010 and Mr Brian Cleary SJOCA 1937 died in March 2010.

“It was a great privilege to attend the opening and rededication of the Br O S Adams Centre in September.

- Peter Rudd

It is with great pleasure that we welcome some new members to the Foundation Sten and Elizabeth Lindeberg, Harvey Munday,Vince and Jane Littore, Jack and Tracey Simic, John and Anne Miller, Denis and Katrina Leahy and John and Mary-Ann Goldsworthy.

I’d like to acknowledge our cohorts in the Men’s Association who meet and work tirelessly around the school every Sunday and the passing of their President and good friend of mine Mr Phil Biscombe.

I also acknowledge the always energised Parents and Friends Association, the Old Collegians, and the Josephines, whose numbers are quietly getting bigger and bigger.

Finally I would like to wish everybody a healthy end to the year and a very happy Christmas to all.

Parents and Friends Association “This year the Parents & Friends has raised over $33,000.This happened because an energetic team of people made it happen. It’s a great Team and we invite you come share in it.”

- Sam Teggelove

What a great year we’ve had! Being involved with the P&F has been one of the highlights of my time at St Joeys. Different people come and go but there’s always one consistent thing in our volunteer group –really positive, happy and dedicated people.

With all the functions the P&F instigate throughout the year, there’s a constant optimistic mood that helps us achieve our goals i.e. strengthening a great sense of community in our school and raising funds for Africa, or enhancing our boys’ education.

Every month we meet in the Staffroom. The meetings are fun and usually have a great smattering of laughter attached. We have wine and cheese and biscuits and surprisingly we achieve a great deal of organising in this time! We’re under the watchful eye of our Development Officer, David Formosa.

He manages to keep us on track whilst always able to give us fresh ideas and solutions to sometimes seemingly impossible problems.

This year we decided to try to bring the school community together early in the year whilst making the most of the new year good weather. We hosted an Outdoor Cinema Night on the cricket oval. This new event was a hit especially with the younger boys and their families. It was a glorious night and families were happy to mingle and graze on picnics or snacks provided by the P&F and watch that ‘oldie but a goodie,’ “Pirates of The Caribbean” curled up on beanbags and rugs.

An incredible 250 ladies enjoyed a Girls Movie Night Out in June with “Sex and the City” at Readings.

Another new event for us was a Trivia Night at Highton Bowls Club. This was a great fun night, again a sell out crowd of 180 people. Everyone was a winner. There were Silent Auction items, fun games, prizes for all sorts of silly reasons and a clever winning table. We were really pleased to raise an amazing $7,000.

Every year the Art Expo Group work really hard to produce a brilliant Art Show. This year we were excited to have it in the “new” Gym. The Gym looked amazing and the array of art was spectacular.

The art sales made an $11,000 profit, some of Fine Fashions and Food at the High Tea & Fashion Show

12

which went to boost the equipment in the Arts Department of the school.

New also to our usual role, this year we instigated and funded a basic CPR and First Aid Training for Year 12 students. This was a fantastic initiative. The boys who decided to take this opportunity on were empowered with a useful life tool which hopefully could save a life one day.

Our most challenging event for the year is the Fashion Event. Although it has been present in the Joey’s calendar for a few years now, this year it took on a new and exciting look as it was merged with a High Tea! It was a stunning event at the beautiful Balmoral Reception. Special thanks to Deb Nash, the Proprietor, Lilly Colak and Karen Bourdamis. Karen and Lilly worked tirelessly ensuring every detail of the day was perfect, with a spectacular outcome. The double sell out crowd of 240 raised $14,000 for The Edmund Rice Foundation in Africa.

The College Bursary Fund has been provided with extra Funds this year. This year we’ve given $6,000.

This is the second year we will have hosted a Christmas Morning Tea for the Staff as a Thank you. It’s a pleasure to do this. The staffroom is transformed with Christmas decorations and the staff are treated to yummy Christmas treats and hopefully they feel special and honoured.

Our wonderful team of volunteers will genuinely miss some P&F members. Lilly Colak, Simone Nolan, Sharon Gleeson, Amanda Baulch and Maria Zaluski are exiting our school after years of commitment to the P&F. These people were instrumental in so many great events and fundraisers for our school and passionate about making a difference. Thank you so much for your time, dedication and support over the years.

This year the P&F has raised over $33,000. This happened because an energetic team of people made it happen. It’s a great team and we invite you come share in it.

Sam Teggelove - Parents & Friends President

Thinking Caps were on for the Trivia Night

Year 12s Learn some life saving skills at the CPR Course

Old Collegians Association The Old Collegians have had an exciting and successful year once again. The year began with the reunion for the class of 2009 which was held at the SJC Cricket Pavilion in February with in excess of 80 “new” Old Collegians taking the opportunity to catch up. The evening is a relaxed affair with pizzas delivered, cold beverages served and mingling of staff and students, in general a good time was had by all.

The biggest event each year is the Annual SJOCA Golf Day which has been run for fourteen years and it is always the highlight. The competition was held at 13th Beach this year and was the best so far with 265 players taking part. The weather was magnificent, the food hot and the beer cold. The organising committee had arranged some great prizes and giveaways. All proceeds from the day go to the SJOCA Bursary Fund and this year in excess of $13,000 was raised. All the committee are to be congratulated for their involvement in making this day such a great success. I also thank David Bowles and Tony Harris who have once again been the backbone of this event.

The AGM was held in March with the following Old Collegians elected to the committee: Vice Presidents Joe Virgona & John Fitzgerald, Treasurer David McCusker, Secretary Andrew Scaddan (David Formosa to support) and Committee Tom Bennett, Dean Bushell, Roger Hardwick, Lucas Kenny, Justin O’Brien, Sam O’Dwyer, and Greg Thompson. The committee should all be proud of the achievements over the last year and I thank them for their work and commitment to St Joseph’s. It is through the labour of these committees that the Association is in such a good position, both financially and in reputation.

The Annual Reunion is held in May each year and focuses on the five year groups. Held at Lambys, over 200 people braved drought breaking rain to attend and another great night was had by all.

The bursaries are decided in mid year and it is my privilege as President to sit on the Bursary Committee. Without these bursaries most, if not all of these families would not be able to afford to send their sons to SJC.

The Old Collegians’ Association has also been able to contribute $50,000 to the extension and refurbishment of the Br O S Adams Centre. This has been made possible through the dedicated and continuing hard work of the committee in carrying out fund raising, seeking donations from Old Collegians and local businesses over many years.

The Ad Alta Awards night, held in November, was a new addition to the Old Collegians calendar. The event, which had long been a goal of the committee, was held to honour those associated with St Joseph’s College who have lived by the motto ‘Ad Alta Virtute’ and the teachings of Edmund Rice. 160 people witnessed the inaugural presentations made to Br D M “Stan” McCabe, who taught at SJC from 1949-1960, Peter O’Rorke OAM, student 1950-1957, Hon Justice Bernard D Bongiorno AO, student from 1954-1960, Cameron Ling, student 1991-1998 and Kate Parke who has been involved with everything from the school Canteen to the P&F, the Board and the Foundation from 1994 and still is a great supporter of the Josephines. Old Collegian Dr Peter Larkins was the MC, a Capri Catering three course meal and dance music by the band ‘Tobias’ ensured a great night was had by all. This will continue to be an annual SJOCA event. Special thanks to Jane Littore for all her help. David Formosa is also to be thanked for the extreme efforts he put in to ensure the night was the success it was.

“The committee should all be proud of the achievements over the last year, I thank them for their work and commitment to St Joseph’s. It is through the labour of these committees that the Association is in such a good position, both financially and in reputation.”

- Peter Madden

November is also the month we remember past students, staff and benefactors who have died. Fr Peter Foley celebrated the Mass in the College chapel and during a quiet time of reflection the names of all those we know that have died are displayed. The Mass was followed by afternoon tea in the College staffroom. Our thanks go to Damian Moynihan for once again organising this occasion.

It would be remiss of me if I didn’t acknowledge and congratulate Paul Tobias and his team for upholding and developing all that we love about St Joseph’s College, Geelong and for continuing the works of Edmund Rice.

Josephines “The Josephines’ money has helped set up our newly refurbished Educational Support Centre, which is the hub for our Integration Aids to prepare lessons and gather with our most vulnerable students regularly.

This tangible assistance is given to our College students who most need one on one support and specialised equipment.”

- Kate Parke & Jane Rodgers

Our Josephines Group is humming along again this year. Past mums, staff members, along with friends throughout the wider Geelong community have gathered on two occasions to keep in touch with one another, share memories of their son’s time at St Joseph’s College and support the St Joseph’s Educational Support Program.

Once again our Autumn Dinner in March was held in the College pavilion, with approximately 52 in attendance and the evening was a buzz with chatter. Gathering in these familiar surroundings on a beautiful evening with a great view of the College grounds and the bay set the scene for a memorable evening of catching up with old friends and making new ones. The pavilion looked a treat with fresh flowers and candles while Capri provided yet another delicious meal and tremendous service.

All present enjoyed themselves and many were still chatting late into the night.

In October the second gathering for our Spring Lunch was held, starting with champagne and nibbles on the pavilion balcony, followed by a pleasant bus trip to Truffleduck at Balmoral Receptions in Fyansford. Deb Nash (past parent) and her team provided our 58 guests with brilliant hospitality and food. The newly refurbished centre created magnificent ambiance for our delicious lunch. All present agreed that Truffleduck would be worthy of another visit!

Through running these functions, and with the generous support of members who were unable to attend but sent in donations, we raised $814 for the St Joseph’s College Educational Support Program.

Mark Turner, Educational Support Coordinator advised that the Josephines’ money has helped set up our newly refurbished Educational Support Centre, which is the hub for our Integration Aides to prepare lessons and gather with our most vulnerable students regularly. Mark is deeply appreciative of this tangible assistance given to our College students who most need one on one support and specialised equipment. Paul Tobias, Principal and Claire Brown, Deputy Principal also commended our Josephines members on keeping the spirit of Edmund Rice alive in our community through reaching out to others.

This year we’ve welcomed Adel Mawson to our team. Adel is sharing the Principal’s Personal

14

Assistant role with Maureen Bryant. Adel has attended both gatherings and enjoyed meeting you all and learning about our Josephines’ group. College Development Manager David Formosa and his assistant Lauren Salcombe have been a tremendous support to us throughout the year. We work closely with David and Lauren and thank them for helping organise our Josephines’ gatherings and preparing letters and flyers for our mail outs.

To those who are unwell in our community our hearts go out to you and we hope and pray that you will improve a little with each day and that you have the strength to cope at difficult times. We remember those who have passed away during the year in particular our Josephines, Heather Brown, Noreen Madden and Shirley Pendergast. These beautiful ladies were great contributors and friends to our College Community over many years and precious memories of happy times shared will stay with us forever.

In closing we thank all who have been a part of our Josephines’ in 2010 and we look forward to many more of you joining our group in 2011. We wish you all a very joyous and peaceful Christmas and New Year Season. May the true spirit of Christmas fill your hearts.

Kate Parke, Jane Rodgers & Maureen Bryant - Coordinators

CARE GROUP

Our Care Group helpers have worked hard to provide generous and sensitive care for our College and wider community in 2010. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the many College volunteers who have provided in excess of 65 meals for at least 10 families coping with sickness or experiencing difficult times throughout the year. Tremendous work is undertaken by our Care Group Coordinators Anne Ross and Sharon Lane who work with Adel Mawson and Maureen Bryant to ensure contact is made with our families and volunteers to prepare and deliver these meals. Being such a large College there is much need for us to be aware of and understand the difficulties some families face and quietly go about helping where we can. Thank you all once again for being such an important part of our College Community.

The Men’s Association The Men’s Association began the year with approximately 125 men putting their names down to help with the Sunday working bees.

Belluzzo who also has taken on the roll of President of the Men’ Association, Danny Sheedy,Vic Kent and Des Nolan for his extra work taking over from Phil.

One of the first all group activities was the removal of the water-damaged carpet and under felt from the staff room and adjoining rooms.

The College and myself really do appreciate the work the men do and have done over the last 50 plus years.

Watering of the trees was still a top priority as the drought was still dragging on.

Russell Zampatti - Property Manager

Mowing and cleaning around yards and grounds was part of each Sunday’s activities.

Painting of new boards for the annual Art Show and the setting up and pack up of the Art Show was again extremely appreciated by the Parents and Friends.

Other projects undertaken over the year were: • Creating four new garden beds in the Garden Patch behind the old Newtown Library.

• Planting of new trees around the top of Carey Oval.

• Landscaping placing new sleepers along the new fence line outside the extended Gym. • Helping to load all the sets, customs and staging for transport to GPAC for Jesus Christ Super Star and again loading and transporting all items back to the school after the production.

• Helping to move stored chairs tables and staging into the new storage areas in the Gym. A sad time for the Men’s Association was the passing of Phil Biscombe after a long battle with cancer.

Phil was called to Eternal Life on the 5 April 2010.

He was president of the Men’s Association and Team Number 1 from 2000 – 2010.

The College and the Men’s Association erected a seat and planted a tree at the top of the Northern side of Carey Oval in loving memory of Phil’s contribution to St Joseph’s College.

I would like to thank all the men who have helped out this year and the other Team Captains Pierre

COME AND REST AWHILE And Jesus said to his disciples, “Come away to a quiet place and rest awhile”.

(Mark 6:31) Phil Biscombe was president of the SJC Men’s Association for ten years, and a long-time volunteer on the Sunday working groups, helping to maintain and beautify the College grounds. His favourite area was the hill adjoining Carey and Aphrasia St Ovals, and at the end of a hard morning’s work, before joining his mates for a BBQ and beer, he would gaze out across the Barwon Valley and beyond in quiet contemplation and gratitude to God for his happy life.

Phil died in April this year after battling cancer for some time, and at his request his funeral Mass was celebrated in the College Chapel. On Sunday 18 July, a small group of family, friends and students gathered again in the Chapel to remember and pray for Phil. We then proceeded to his much-loved hill where a tree and seat were blessed and named in his memory.

In the hustle and bustle of College life, I hope and pray that many staff and students will find a few minutes to sit and ponder as Phil did.

Jesus would often go to solitary places to pray (Luke 5:16). Something happens when we stop, however briefly, and simply gaze over God’s beautiful creation. It helps us return to the hustle and bustle lighter in mind and spirit.

Archives - 75 Years of SJC “Work has commenced on the digitisation of early SJC magazines and literature.

The College celebrated its 75th anniversary with the reopening of the Gymnasium and Br O S Adams Centre in September. The Heritage Centre supplied copies of every 1935 to 1945 formal group photograph from the College’s archive collection and proudly displayed them for the interested guests and former students to view at the function. Most of the 1930s photographs had been on display in glass frames near the Principal’s office for many years. About two years ago, it was realised that these photographs were becoming damp and showed some early signs of mould growth. All the frames were taken to the Heritage Centre where the photographs were removed and thoroughly cleaned.

The original photographs were then scanned before being permanently housed in new acid-free albums at the Heritage Centre. These photographs have now been catalogued and their details entered on a computer program called Inmagic DBTextWorks, which is archive-industry standard. All photographs displayed at the reopening were high quality reproductions. Some of these early photographs were used to enhance the video the media students produced after they interviewed several foundation students of the College.

BROTHER OSWALD STANISLAUS ADAMS Brother Oswald Stanislaus Adams was the ninth child of a West Melbourne family. His mother spent 30 years as a cook and seamstress to the Christian Brothers at North Melbourne. His grandfather, James Fox, had been part of the movement which brought the Christian Brothers back to Australia in the 1860s.

At 14, Adams went to Strathfield and received his habit from Brother Richard Xavier Butler in 1924.

Both were to become Principals of St Joseph’s College Geelong - Br. Butler being the foundation Principal of the College.

Sacred Heart College’s 150th anniversary this year also kept the SJC Heritage Centre busy. In April, all the glass display units from the Heritage Centre were transferred to Sacred Heart and stored there for nearly a month. The units were used in Sacred Heart’s Boarders Chapel area to enhance the displays there. Some material from the SJC archive collection were on display at Sacred Heart for their major exhibition. This meant that most of the displays at St Joseph’s Heritage Centre had to be dismantled. The inclusion of some St Joseph’s College material at Sacred Heart helped to reinforce the long and close relationship between the two schools.

Adams revived the Parents and Friends Association, and along with the help of Old Collegians he chaired the Publications Committee in which produced the first School magazine known as “The Josian”. This magazine was the forerunner to “Virtus”, which was first published under the patronage of Adams in 1948. After a suggestion from Brother Adams, the Old Collegians held their first golf day in 1949.

Adams donated the trophy.

Work has also commenced on the digitisation of early SJC magazines and literature. Some ‘Virtus’ and ‘Josian’ magazines from the 1940s have been reproduced as pdf files and can now be downloaded from the school’s website. More digital copies of early school material will be added to the website from time to time. I invite you to investigate the heritage sections of the website and read about life at the College in the 1930s and 1940s.

Adams’ career saw him teaching at Waverley, Ipswich, Brisbane, then Principal at Maryborough in Queensland, and then Principal at St Laurence’s in Brisbane.

Adams was appointed Principal of St Joseph’s College in 1945, when the College had a population of 252 students, including 92 boarders. Adams was in charge during the difficult years of recovery just after World War II. He had to deal with the shortages of food and raw material as well as the lack of funds.

However, he managed to fund projects and install confidence in what little there was to share.

On top of this extra-curricular workload, Br. Adams had a full teaching load and took an interest in the welfare of the poor circumstances of some of his students. Adams left at the end of 1950, but one of his last projects was to supervise the transformation of the former cultivated areas into the oval that now bears the name, “Russell Zampatti Oval“. The College population on his departure had grown to 418 students including 150 boarders.

His contribution is remembered in the dedication of the multi-purpose centre and gymnasium, which was officially opened and blessed by Archbishop Frank Little on 13 October 1984.

Building Works/Gym Opening It was an exciting year for major building works at the College with the completion and official opening of the new Gymnasium. The project involving a total cost of some $4.3M and a construction period of 12 months represents a wonderful new addition to the College. The facility offers many new features including a new court, staff offices, weights room, classroom, toilet and shower facilities, storage bays and new audio visual system. A key feature of the new facility is the retractable seating which can seat 680 people and when not in use can completely fold back against the side wall without imposing on the basketball courts.

appreciative of the work that the St Joseph’s College Foundation has done in raising funds, together with monies donated via the school building fund. We are sincerely thankful to all of our supporters who have contributed to these causes. With the completion of the Gymnasium project the opportunity was taken to undertake beautification works at the front of the Gymnasium Building. The landscaping works involved new paving, installation of artificial turf, seating and raised planter boxes and the planting of new trees and assorted small plants. The landscaping improvement works have created a wonderful space for the boys to enjoy during recess and lunch breaks.

Whilst the project was looked upon as an extension to the existing gym facility it has turned out to be much more. New timber flooring was installed on the existing court, the installation of a new roof and cladding on the existing facility and an upgrade of the gym foyer area was also undertaken.

An upgrade of the main canteen was also carried out during the year. The upgrade costing approximately $25,000 involved new opening between the canteen and gym foyer, installation of new cupboards and bench tops, new splashbacks, a new stove and commercial dishwasher. The works have enabled us to make better use of available space and with the installation of a stove will enable the College to offer new healthy food choices on the menu.

Extensive line marking has been carried out to both courts enabling many sports to be played including basketball, netball, volleyball, badminton, indoor soccer and hockey. A drop down net has been installed to enable separation between the two courts. A gantry walkway has been erected to enable installation of feature lighting to be installed for various functions or shows which may be conducted in the gym from time to time. The gym is a welcome addition to the infrastructure of St Joseph’s College.

The first full school assembly conducted in the gym was a huge success in terms of the facility being able to accommodate the entire school population in comfort and having wonderful sound and visual facilities to display highlights of school life events.

The official opening of the gym was conducted on 16 September 2010.

The new gymnasium would not have been possible without the support of many people who have contributed to the project through the gymnasium capital appeal and via donations made to the school building fund. A total of $300,000 was raised through the gymnasium capital appeal. The College is very

Thanks to the fund raising efforts by the Parents and Friends Association, the College was able to install two new beach volleyball courts alongside Aphrasia Street oval, install new air conditioners in the VCE classrooms where exams are held and purchase new gym equipment for the new Gymnasium Weights Room.

“The new gymnasium is a highly adaptable facility suitable for the playing of many different sports and enabling various whole school functions and ceremonies to be conducted.

It is a welcome addition to the infrastructure of St Joseph’s College.”

- Terry Fowler

The next major building project will involve the construction of additional classrooms. Planning has commenced for construction of 6-10 new general purpose classrooms by extending the Peter Chanel Centre (next to Aphrasia Street oval). The additional classrooms are required to meet the additional stream of enrolments that will commence in 2011 and will see total student numbers increasing to about 1550 by 2015. Subject to obtaining the necessary permits it is hoped that construction will commence late in 2011.

College Captains’ Report “2010 has been so enjoyable not only from the new friendships we made as a result of the leadership team, but also the hard work we put in and the results we achieved.”

“It has been an honour and a privilege to work in the senior leadership team of 2010.We are thankful for the great friendships we have made over the year, and are proud of how we have worked to achieve our goals. Overall you are a fantastic group of blokes” - Tom Cooper & Darcy Moore

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in time of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy” This quote by Dr Martin Luther King was the opening line in our 2009 Investiture speech upon being elected as the first ever Co-College Captains in the history of St Joseph’s. Being a leader at SJC is, and always will be, a challenge. The responsibility, tradition and expectation placed on every student regarded as a leader, both badged and unbadged, is a significant thing in the St Joseph’s community.

The 2010 senior leadership team has taken on that responsibility to its highest ability, through their exemplary actions, absolute commitment, and a desire and vision to make our school and community a better place.

It has been a huge year. Any Year 12 student will know the year goes extremely quick. Hours of studying, countless SACs and long tiring days of classes can seem slow at times; but looking back on the first day of Year 12, we can’t help but wonder where the time went. As the old saying goes - time flies when you are having fun.

Our annual swimming carnival kicked off the year in fantastic style, and continued on to the Athletics. SJC united on Edmund Rice Day, with the student, staff and leaders’ hard work, the day was a huge success.

Fundraising initiatives saw record amounts of boys participating in Movember, Shave for a Cure, 40 Hour Famine, Rainbow Swimathon and Footy Colours Day. Leaders continued their support with the SJC annual Open Day, school and year level assemblies, soup kitchens, refugee tutoring and blood bank. We also had several leaders participate in Edmund Rice Camps.

Although we didn’t make all the inroads we had envisioned, the Environmental Action Team (EAT) and Indigenous Perspective & Awareness Committee (IPAC) made considerable future plans. With continued passion and enthusiasm from younger year levels, both areas should see significant improvement.

With the inclusion of younger year levels, the Social Justice Team was not only active in organising initiatives, but the boys gained a greater understanding of the concept that is social justice, and the issues in society that surround it like global inequality, Indigenous Australian issues and homelessness.

For the first time ever at SJC, the stigma associated

18

with homophobia was challenged. Through the passion, efforts and pride of a large committee of students and teachers, IDAHO (International Day against Homophobia) was celebrated. We are very proud of the students who had the courage to stand up for this issue, and are glad to see a positive change in the attitudes of the school.

CLOGS (Catholic Leaders of Geelong Schools) continued to have a major influence in the Geelong and greater community. Our three initiatives were great successes, and we achieved everything we set out to.

On behalf of the senior leadership team, we would like to congratulate the middle school leaders. The work you have done over the year has been fantastic; keep building on that in the future.

When you look at the current leadership structure, the one man who was predominantly responsible was Mr Simon Cahir, who in 2011, will be stepping down as coordinator of the senior leadership team. The time he puts into his position, whether it be organising meetings, initiatives, providing the inspiration for ideas, or just having a general chat about life, is quite incredible. From the 2010 senior leadership team and the St Joseph’s College community, thank you Mr Cahir.

We also wish Mr Nicholls, the new coordinator, all the best in 2011.

A special thank you to Deputy Captain, Peter Mileto, for the work and effort he puts in. He has shown unwavering leadership throughout the year, and it has been a privilege and fun working beside you, Pete.

Congratulations to the newly elected senior leadership team of 2011, we have absolute faith that the team is set for big and exciting things to come.

As we both start preparing for exams, the idea of finishing at St Joseph’s is a scary thought. For six years, we have called the school our home, but now we are on our own. But that’s the thing about SJC: it prepares us all for the exciting new challenges that we will face upon leaving this College. We have both grown considerably as young men over our time here, and are thankful for the opportunities presented.

It has been an honour to be your College Captains for 2010. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Tom Cooper & Darcy Moore Co-College Captains 2010

Student Leaders In a previous report I once quoted Dan Eldon who wrote “Remember the lasting memories and friendships, the journey, is the destination.” This is my final year as the Leadership Coordinator and I feel very sad to be leaving such a dynamic and exciting group of young men. I can honestly say however that like Dan Eldon, I will always remember the lasting memories and the friendships I made on the journey.

It has been my pleasure to have worked with so many sensational students, not only this year but in the past eight years. The student leaders have worked tirelessly throughout the year and I am always impressed with their commitment and energy.Via their example and their conduct they’re reshaping their school. This year we have subtly altered the leader pledge to include the words culture and tradition. The student leaders have over the years been active in changing the course of the College. The students now believe in their own culture and traditions that they themselves have forged. They have assisted the school, its environment, the culture and directed the future of St Joseph’s College. Leadership is never peaceful or easy and the students have all worked tirelessly along with the extra workload of VCE to achieve marvelous accomplishments. I know they are proud of their achievements and so too am I. The boys have served others, which is one of the most noble of attributes, they are passionate and willing to take others with them not just lead them. Leadership after all is about team-man-ship. Danny Bakhsh a College Captain in his first speech said, “Takers eat better but givers sleep better.” I can tell you sincerely that the leaders from Years 7 to 12 will all sleep better.

There have been many accomplishments this year as in every year. There are many reports from the leaders themselves which better describe their efforts in other pages of the Virtus. What is remarkable about this year is however how they have been able to increase the participation from all the students, the staff and parents. For example when Pakistan was hit by some of the worst floods in history the Year 7 students responded quickly with

Ms Claire Connell. The students and parents cooked and donated a multitude of cakes and with the help of the student leaders sold them to the community.

Not long later the St Joseph’s community had raised over $1600.Yet another example of “givers sleeping better.” Most of the events such as the Shave For a Cure and the 40 Hour Famine were bigger than any other year. How do these marvelous students and their community keep raising the bar every year?

The year wasn’t taken up with just raising money for very needy causes. There were of course many fun days too, such as the Athletics and Swimming carnivals, Edmund Rice Day and of course the UpBEAT concert organised by the CLOG leaders from each of the four Catholic schools. The Blood Bank is now in its 3rd consecutive year of raising the most donations in Geelong. Where once upon a time we struggled to give 100 donations, we regularly give over 300 per annum. Many thanks to Mr Anderson for his efforts.

It is now time of course to thank the Leaders and especially the Captains of 2010. The team was lead by Tom, Darcy and Peter who complimented each other brilliantly. As I worked with them closely throughout the year I discovered what incredibly talented but dedicated boys they are.You rarely see such young men of calibre as these three boys. Despite a huge commitment in VCE and personal demands they were always there for the leadership team, encouraging and organising them to new heights.

Tom and Darcy started the year off with a sojourn to South Africa which I know from experience, is both an eye opener and a life changing experience.

I think these boys have grown and developed into wonderful men which the St Joseph’s community can be both proud of and thankful to.

“The student leaders have worked tirelessly throughout the year and I am always impressed with their commitment and energy.Via their example and their conduct they’re reshaping their school.”

- Simon Cahir

So farewell 2010 leaders, congratulations and thanks for the memories, friendship and fun times.

Thank you also to all the student leaders who have assisted me on the journey over the past eight years.

It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve our community both locally and globally.

Simon Cahir - Student Leadership Coordinator

Student Leaders “The cage for me was a very humbling and eye-opening experience.

Being able to tell students from our own school about the situation, and actually making a difference towards this problem, made the cold bearable, and the rain endurable.”

- Jack Rayner “Our brothers and sisters suffering from HIV/AIDS did not see The Cage, did not know about it, and never will.

Yet they will be at the receiving end of a powerful human movement, that the Catholic Colleges of Geelong have initiated. Such poigna ant poignant con connections are key to our the ke unity.” mon C - Simon Cahir

CLOGS UPBEAT

involvement has gone a long way in supporting the lives of those affected by cancer through the Fight Cancer Foundation, and also providing educational opportunities for others through the Michael Carmody Foundation.

When the leaders from Sacred Heart, Clonard, St Ignatius and St Joseph’s Colleges first got together at the beginning of this year, we discussed an event we could hold to raise awareness and funds for a particular cause that was relevant to the Geelong community.

It was just unfortunate that Collingwood won the 2010 AFL premiership!

Tom Cooper - 2010 Co-College Captain

Isolation allows depression to thrive. Depression exploits our isolation and consumes us until there is no room within us for positivity and progression.

Unity combats this.

The number of tragedies in Geelong high schools last year prompted the leaders to do something special to raise awareness. That something became UPBEAT; United Picnic Bringing Everyone Altogether. The year 9 and 10 students from the four schools gathered on August the 18th at Sacred Heart College to celebrate UPBEAT. Amidst some swell live music courtesy of The Police Band and Sambrose Automobile, and the company of Headspace, beyond blue, Lifeline Geelong, the Geelong Police and the Supercats Geelong, the year 9 and 10 students from the four schools enjoyed an afternoon of social interaction and poignant awareness raising. All proceeds made from UPBEAT will go/have gone to Headspace and other mental health organisations UPBEAT received much positive and enthusiastic feedback from its participants and supporters.

Darcy Moore - 2010 Co-College Captain

FOOTY COLOURS DAY

On Friday 3 September, SJC united in the spirit of football to raise money and awareness for both the Fight Cancer Foundation and the Michael Carmody Foundation.

Through the Footy Colours Day national initiative, staff and students were encouraged to wear their footy colours from any code on the day.

Hundreds of boys and teachers got behind the day, and a substantial amount of money was raised. I tha th a k all thos thank those who supported the day, as their

THE CAGE

There are many people in our world living in cages.

They are imprisoned and restricted because of their race, their religion, their political affiliations, financial circumstances, their health. They are imprisoned and trapped by a minority seeking to oppress them. This minority is easily overwhelmed by the goodness of the majority.

For people suffering from HIV/AIDS, despair and deprivation lasts more than 24 hours. However, members of the senior leadership team experienced a tiny measure of the pain those living with HIV/ AIDS go through every day. Whilst we are not all infected, we are all affected. When our brothers and sisters are dying from a disease we can help, a disease we can stop, then it immediately concerns us.

Despite UN Member States including our country declaring they would reduce the spread of HIV/ AIDS, people are still dying, families are still being torn apart, whole countries economically hindered.

It is our responsibility to support the fight. In doing so we are saving people’s lives and putting a stop to the economic interests of pharmaceutical companies who seek to gain profit rather than recover a human life. HIV/AIDS is an obstacle we face in our world today. It is one we can overcome, but only together.

The Cage was an unbelievable experience. Bracing the harsh conditions was absolutely worth it. We were able to convey our message to hundreds of students and teachers, and together with the other Catholic Colleges, we achieved what we set out to do: making an impact in the Geelong Community. St Joseph’s well and truly supports the fight against HIV/ AIDS!

Student Leaders YEAR 8 LEADERSHIP

The Year 8 Leaders have had a fantastic year in 2010.

We have achieved a lot during these past twelve months. Such events include the Bake off which raised over $250.00. Many people were seen buying cakes and slices made by the Year 8 families. This money went towards the worthy cause of a school in East Timor. We also organised a sausage sizzle which also raised over $250.00. This money went towards the local foundation of Kids Plus who help children with learning disabilities. A lot was achieved throughout this year as we were determined to make the school a better place, from meetings at lunch times to setting example at school. The Year 8 Leaders made 2010 a year to remember!

Shane Collard & Michael Visnjovski - Year 8

YEAR 9 LEADERSHIP

Being part of the leadership team in 2010 was a fantastic experience and I enjoyed it immensely. It all started late last year when all of the emerging leaders for this year travelled to the You Yangs to participate in the Leadership Challenge. Some of the activities included bike riding, bushwalking and team activities. During the year we were visited by a presenter called Darren Pereira, who ran a seminar with us that really helped improve our leadership skills. In Term 3 we ran stalls selling lollies and soft drinks to raise money for East Timor. We also attended the REACH Foundation Leadership Day up in Melbourne, which was very enjoyable and beneficial in the way that our confidence and leadership skills were developed immensely. Overall we enjoyed being Year 9 Leaders, and we will all walk away from the year with important life skills such as confidence, responsibility and leadership.

Josh Looker - Year 9

YEAR 10 LEADERSHIP

In 2010 I have felt privileged to be a part of the Year 10 Leadership team and a representative of the school and a voice for the student body. As a leader I have thoroughly enjoyed my position as a year level leader and the tasks that come with

the position. I know I have learnt and grown as a person in overcoming the numerous challenges faced by the year level leaders as a team. The best part of being involved was the amazing feeling of being part of a team, knowing someone will be there for you if you are misguided and there to put you back on track. The accomplishments we achieved as a leadership team through vision, trust and resilience were remarkable. The leadership team gave it everything thing this year, in having many initiatives and wonderful events. I reach the end of the year knowing I gave my position this year my best. Making 14 new friends was part of the amazing experience.

I look forward to excelling in my senior leadership position in 2011 and am excited about the limitless possibilities next year.

Daniel Brugman - Year 10

HIGHLIGHTS OF YEAR 10

The Year 10 Leadership Team tried to focus on year level activities as last year we primarily raised a lot of money. We were involved in many leadership building seminars such as the Reach Foundation and Darren Pereira Seminar. They helped build our skills for next year’s involvement in the senior leadership team. We helped organise the Year 10 Formal with Sacred Heart College which was a huge success.

Everyone had a sensational time. In cooperation with some of the senior leaders, we helped with the mental health awareness week and Upbeat day at Sacred Heart. The aim was to raise awareness about youth depression and suicide, a major issue in today’s society. We all represented SJC on Open Day as ambassadors for the school, some of us attended a Flag raising ceremony for East Timor at City Hall.

We are also being hosts to another EREA school and school visitation. By the conclusion of the year we can definitely say we enjoyed our experience as leaders and look forward to our next few years at SJC.

“We accept the honour and responsibility of leadership within our Year level. We pledge ourselves, through Christian example, to live out compassion in the example of Jesus Christ and Edmund Rice. We strive to be positive examples and we endeavour to carry out our roles with integrity and loyalty to the traditions of St. Joseph’s and our school motto ‘ad Alta Virtute’striving for the highest.Today we pledge our service to St. Joseph’s College and the broader community.”

Matthew Karpinski & Matthew Potter - Year 10

Student Leaders “Students were able to give back to the community while gaining satisfaction in the knowledge that they were positively participating in making the community a better place.

Year 12s were able to gain important life lessons and renewed confidence within themselves.”

-Sam Beard

TRIUMPH

This year, a handful of the Year 11 Leaders have been working very hard on organising the Triumph Music Festival 2011, a music festival raising funds for the people of East Timor. Next year on September 1, all students from St Joseph’s College, Sacred Heart College, Clonard College and St Ignatius College will be coming together to unite and make poverty history. By running this festival, the four Catholic colleges of Geelong plan to raise over $50,000 for East Timor.

Every Monday night after school you will find some of the Year 11 Leaders working with leaders from the other three schools organising what is sure to be an amazing event. Our boys have not only been working really hard on Triumph throughout this year, but have also been the students pulling together leaders of all four schools and forming the Triumph Committee. Along with the other leaders, the boys have put tremendous work into organising things such as entertainment, publicity, sponsorship, charity stalls and food stalls just to name a few.

Triumph 2011 was officially launched across the four schools throughout September and October with a logo design competition, inviting students from all four schools the chance of designing the official logo of Triumph 2011. Keep an ear out and get excited about Triumph 2011!

YEAR 12 RENEWALS

Each year every student year level experiences a period of renewals. For Year 12 2010 these renewals took place over a three days in the first semester.

Students went to various locations each with a specific purpose. Some went to Camp Coorimungle to learn about how to conjure inner strength and gain peace within themselves, while some went as far north as New South Wales, spending time with the Indigenous inhabitants and learning about ancient traditons and customs. Others, myself included, went to Melbourne for a three day volunteering experience.Visiting local pprimary schools and participating

22

in both soup kitchens and reflective ceremonies students were able to give back to the community while gaining satisfaction in the knowledge that they were positively participating in making the community a better place. Although each renewal experience was different, each of the Year 12s were able to gain important life lessons and renewed confidence within themselves.

REFUGEE TUTORING

The refugee tutoring program has been growing in popularity since implementation in 2006. Every Tuesday afternoon, students from St Joseph’s, Clonard and Sacred Heart head down to Holy Family Primary School to spend time with students from the local refugee community. Holiday programs also run every holidays with as many as 150 refugee children coming from all around to spend the day in Geelong. Many of these children have only recently arrived in Australia and it is great to see them open up as they engage in games and other activities. This year’s holiday programs have seen overwhelming numbers both from the refugee community and in student participation. This was the first time students from the three schools gathered to reflect and share their experiences and thoughts on the tutoring programme they have so enthusiastically taken part in. The reflection afternoon provided students with the environment in which they could not only address and understand some of the fundamental issues surrounding refugees and asylum seekers in Australia, but also gave them the opportunity to get to know one another. The latter of these is very important if we are to continue to work together and engage with our broader community, so that our country may move beyond any negative and regressive feeling towards our fellow Australians.

Overall, the refugee tutoring program has been a rewarding experience and a lot of fun for everybody involved. Thank you to the teachers who have shuttled students to Holy Family every week and especially to Mr Chapman.

Student Leaders IDAHO

Although it is becoming far less common and, thankfully, far less acceptable - homophobia remains a pervasive and destructive force in the lives of same-sex attracted and gender questioning youth.

When these attitudes remain unchallenged, they not only compromise the welfare of students - they also endorse a deplorably ignorant view of male gender roles in our society, reinforcing a restrictive and antiquated definition of what a ‘man’ should be.

It is for this reason that on 17 May 2010, a coalition of students and staff took part in the International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO), an international initiative run to raise awareness for this pertinent issue. This year’s theme was Homophobia in Sports, activists included 2007 Brownlow medallist, and Old Collegian Jimmy Bartel and Geelong teammate Joel Selwood. The IDAHO Committee participated in an assembly where new anti-homophobic bullying posters were displayed to the student body, punctuated by a speech by Mr Tobias detailing the absolute necessity for a more direct approach to homophobic bullying.

In effort to combat the issue within the student body, the IDAHO Committee has enacted a variety of initiatives, including lessons on topics such as the ethical implications of homophobic bullying, as well as classes focusing on a much broader topic of diversity - encompassing the importance of fostering tolerance, genuine respect and appreciation for the broad multitude of cultures in Australian society.

Above all, the IDAHO Committee exists to help maintain St Joseph’s as a safe, bully-free place for every student – regardless of their cultural background, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Everyone has an unquestionable right to a sense of self-worth. We hope that through our efforts we are able to assist in providing an environment of mutual respect, where all students can thrive and be themselves without any fear of prejudice or discrimination.

RAINBOW SWIM CLUB

The Rainbow Swim Club provides swimming lessons for physically disadvantaged children based at Geelong Aquatic Centre. Each year, in an effort to raise funds, The Rainbow Swim Club holds a swim-a-thon. St Joseph’s has been taking part in this annual event for a number of years now. The swim-a-thon requires people to be in the water for its entire duration, which was 18 hours. This was an easy task given the commitment of the boys and proved yet again to be an enjoyable community event. The Rainbow Swim-athon is a great opportunity for the boys to contribute to their immediate community and is an event we will be participating in for many years to come.

“Camps are highly enjoyable for the volunteer leaders, who always end up having as much fun as the participants, if not more.”

EDMUND RICE CAMPS

Established in 1981, Edmund Rice Camps Victoria (ERC) was started in recognition of the work of Edmund Rice. Today, ERC is a full-time non-profit organisation, which provides camp experiences throughout Victoria for disadvantaged children, families, for refugees and indigenous children. Camps are run on school holidays, and aim to provide children and their families with a break from everyday life. Over 250 volunteers assist ERC in providing the camps. These volunteers are allocated to each camp to provide a 1:1 ratio of care for each participant. Edmund Rice Camps are very important for participants, as for many of them, camp is the highlight of their year. St Joseph’s students have been particularly active in ERC this year. The number of students volunteering has been fantastic. It is great to see that there have been St Joseph’s students on every camp, as camps and what they promote do have a huge positive impact upon the lives of participants. Camps are highly enjoyable for the volunteer leaders, who always end up having as much fun as the participants, if not more. It is also important for leaders, who are given an opportunity to act as a role model for the children and a chance to interact with members of our community we wouldn’t normally get to interact with.

Year 7 “Year 7 was awesome with all the new subjects like food tech which was great.

We cooked pancakes, hamburgers, fried rice and even chicken souvlaki.They tasted fantastic.”

-Nick Stahl

TRANSITION

Year 7 at St Joseph’s College has been a great experience although the transition from Primary School to St Joseph’s has been different. The new friendships we have established we will have for the rest of our time at SJC, the memories of Year 7 and beyond will hopefully follow us for the rest of our lives. All of the new things we have learnt across different subjects have been an enormous success.

We would also like to give out tips and advice for future Year 7 students: • Don’t be afraid to try as many activities mentioned in the bulletin as you can, you never know what you might achieve and who you might meet.

• Always be yourself. It’s a big school and being yourself will get you lots of friends.

• Always apply yourself to your class and homework.

Thomas Vlamis,Thomas Dixon & Brad McMaster

YEAR 7

The first months in Year 7 are very different to what you have been used to in your Primary School.

You have a new routine, new schedule and you don’t really know anyone. Through the first couple of weeks, you get to know your classmates, and your teachers. One of the major events that really helps break the ice at the start of the year is the School Swimming Sports. The good thing about the Swimming Sports is that you get to meet other people, make new friends, and have plenty of fun whilst doing it. Everyone is cheering for their house, their friends, and everyone gets to have a go. It is not all competitive though, as everyone gets to jump of the diving boards, slide down the water slides and just relax. It is a wonderful opportunity to make friends and helps students feel more comfortable.

Nick Stahl Year 7 was awesome with all the new subjects like food tech which was great. We cooked pancakes, hamburgers, fried rice and even chicken souvlaki.

They tasted fantastic. We also had to do the cleaning which was the worst bit, but we had to do it. We also did band which was great because I’ve always

24

wanted to play the trumpet and I had the chance every Wednesday. The highlight for us was Chinese, our teacher Mr Zhang was awesome. He taught us Chinese and every class was great; we never had a dull lesson. There was also PE which was the best way to end the week. We all couldn’t wait! We did running, played soccer, dodge ball, footy and even hockey and the new gym made it bigger and better.

Nik Mills & Riley Walter

YEAR 7 CAMP Year 7 camp was a great way to get to know our teachers and fellow students. The activities that we experienced were amazing. Some of the activities were flying fox which was over the gorge, walking, laser tag, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, orienteering and survival training. The meals where great and the staff were very friendly and gave us easy rules to follow around the camp. There were three main buildings of the camp both close together the lake was outside the main building. During free time we watched movies and played ping pong which was a big hit for everyone.Year 7 camp is a great way to begin our time at St Joseph’s College.

Olly Le Clerc & Kester Leibhardt This year we travelled to Bacchus Marsh for Year 7 camp and half a week of fun. We were greeted by cake and drinks, and shortly we were off on our first activity. We both easily decided that our favorite activity was laser tag. It was a great event as you had different game modes in a bush landscape. There was a range of other events starting from a flying fox over a valley, to canoeing on a freezing river. The accommodation was great and there was never a shortage of food. At night we would all gather into the main hall and watch a movie.You could also go outside and sit by the fire. With classmates around it was great. Another highlight was bike riding, going around the whole camp site.

This camp will be a highlight and memory at Joey’s, it was a great success.

Year 8 “Wow! Where has the year gone? As I sit to write my farewell to the Year 8s of 2010, a great sense of pride envelopes me.

As a group of young boys on the cusp of young adulthood, they are simply outstanding.”

- Linda Bentley

FROM THE COORDINATOR

Wow! Where has the year gone? As I sit to write my farewell to the Year 8s of 2010, a great sense of pride envelopes me. As a group of young boys on the cusp of adulthood, they are simply outstanding.

I wish to congratulate each boy for their positive contribution to the life of this college in 2010.

Moving to Year 8 is yet another transition in secondary school and this group has shown resilience, independence and commitment. I thank the leaders for the manner in which they have represented the year level. Special thanks to the homeroom teachers who have greeted the boys each morning. Together they have been a dedicated team, who have maintained high standards and expectations of all the boys.

At the beginning of this year I spoke to the boys about the life of Sir Edmund Hilary, how as a young boy he felt that school was a place where he did not belong, it took him a long time to believe in himself and others doubted his potential. This man conquered the most difficult climb in the world, and yet whilst he is admired for his conquest of Everest, Edmund himself believed that his greatest achievement was his service to others, in particular to the people of Nepal. The lessons from the great humanitarians of the world are countless. Courage, determination, and selflessness are the traits of a hero. In each boy, these qualities are there to be discovered. It is my hope and prayer for all the boys to find their talents and do great things for others.

Linda Bentley, Year 8 Coordinator

CITY EXPERIENCE

This year the Year 8 went to Melbourne for three days. We visited the MCG, the Shrine of Remembrance, Immigration Museum, ACMI the Aquarium the Old Melbourne Gaol and the Eureka Skydeck. At the MCG we saw some great pieces of sporting history like the Australian Cricket Captain’s baggy green and Sir Donald Bradman’s cricket bats.

At the Old Melbourne Gaol the place was eerier and the lights were dull. The Gaol is most famous

30

for the hanging of Ned Kelly. At the Shrine of Remembrance, we learnt about a father and son in the war. After this we had a minute of silence. The penguins at the Aquarium were very cheeky because it was feeding time. The Eureka Skydeck was very high, it doesn’t look that high until you are actually at the bottom. We went out on the Edge and looked down on Melbourne, with a good view over the top of the CBD. Overall we had a good time even though we lost some people (then found them!)

Nick Jones

YEAR 7 INTO PATHWAYS

We all thought that moving from Grade 6 to Year 7 was scary - what about Year 8? The change moving up to pathways is not scary but exciting and challenging. In pathways, you have a lot more freedom of choice. Firstly you are able to choose subjects you enjoy, apart from the core subjects such as Math, English and Science.You get to choose subjects in Arts, Technology and Humanities. Another difference moving from Year 7 to Pathways is that you do not have all your subjects in your home room. Also, you get to know other students as you are not with the same people in your homeroom for all your subjects. The classrooms are situated all around the school for Pathways, which gives you the chance to familiarise yourself with the rest of the school. Pathways can be seen as a big step up and as a step towards freedom of choice and maturity.

Michael Visinovski

RENEWALS

The two days of renewals we had was great after a long week of exams. We got to relax and discover many things about ourselves and our classmates.

At Torquay we were told stories by a man at the Surf Lifesaving Club and then split off into groups to answer questions about various things in our life. At Anglesea we learnt about our world and our environment. We learnt about God and how he created the earth and all the lands. We also went on a long bushwalk and we even had to cross a river. All in all renewals were pretty fun and a good time.

- Josh Looker

YEAR 9 GRAMPIANS CAMP

Our 2010 camp took place in the historical and picturesque Grampians. Here we would all participate in a range of fun-filled activities. There was much planning to do and this involved pairing up and organising all our equipment, such as a tent and cooking utensils. We also had to prepare menus and buy the food we would need for the time that we would be away. Camping in the “great outdoors”, under the stars in tents, was an experience we will always remember, particularly so for one group who was awoken by unusual sounds coming from two fighting kangaroos! The days were full and busy. Some activities were easy but others challenged and took us out of our comfort zone. We went rock climbing, abseiling, bike riding, canoeing, and also for walks to several sacred Aboriginal sites. We all had a fantastic time, but it was great to get back home and have a delicious, home-cooked dinner, a warm shower and sleep in a comfortable bed!

‘REACH’ DAYS

Who are you, really? What does it mean to be you?

These evocative questions were just two of many that were asked at a workshop day organised by the REACH Foundation. The REACH Foundation is an organisation that provides day workshops, week and weekend retreats for teenagers who want to know the answers to these questions, and many more like them. The REACH workshop that I attended was with the Year 9 cohort from St Joseph’s, and Year 9s from other schools including Sacred Heart, at Geelong West Town Hall. This program was centred on finding out who we are, and what makes us act the way we do. The day involved various activities and discussions including getting up in front of the crowd and telling them who you are and what it’s like living the life you do. It was interesting to see people who, at first sight would seem unlikely to discuss deep and personal subjects, open up to do just that. I gained a great deal from the day and was challenged to find who I really was.

Matt Bucki-Smith, 9A

“It was interesting to see people who, at first sight would seem unlikely to discuss deep and 9 RENEWALS personal subjects YEAR In June, we participated in Renewals. The program SPORTS AFTERNOON open up to do consisted of one day associated with homelessness In August, we met up with around 100 Year 9 girls just that.” and mental illness, and another associated with human from Clonard to participate in three sports and an evening Barbeque. These sports were football, rights and communities around the globe. We were - Matthew soccer and netball. Although the day was rainy it lucky enough to be visited by a staff member from Bucki-Smith the magazine The Big Issue, along with someone who didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits as students from both had been homeless in the past and was burdened with bi-polar. Both speakers shared the negative impact on people’s lives of being homeless. It definitely was a huge eye-opener for all of us and we walked away from that experience with a greater understanding of a major issue in our society. The second day consisted of discussing human rights around the world and how often they are violated in poorer countries. We participated in a challenging activity that didn’t allow speech, and we had to work as a team to sort out the problem. The Renewals program was an enjoyable and humbling experience that we will all be able to carry for the rest of our lives.

UPBEAT

UPBEAT was a musical and social gathering planned

by CLOGS for all Year 9 students of these schools.

We arrived at SHC and were greeted by the Police Showband who put on a very talented performance.

We then went around socialising and meeting up with old friends and heaps of new people. A comedian performed, she was funny but I believe her main message was about depression. She told us that in every cloud there is a silver lining. We were left with a sense that we were all cared for.

Year 9 CHINA/TIBET 2010

Nine Year 9s went to China and Tibet: Tom Weessols, Alex Lindkvist, Russell Waters, Mark Hyd, Immanuel Dreessens, Tom Donaghue, Christy McElligot, James Colak and Luke Davis.

Starting in Shanghai, we went on to Cheng Du, Lhasa, Xi’an, and finally Beijing. We went to the World Expo, saw how silk was made, viewed pandas, and played Ma Jong at a tea house. In Lhasa we went to the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple and a monastery where we observed Tibetan monks debating in quite an unusual way. From Lhasa we took a train across the roof of the world; across breathtaking landscapes and past the highest train station in the world to Xi’an. We rode around the top of Xi’an’s ancient city wall (13.7km), and saw the Terra-Cotta warriors. Each student stayed with a host family for two nights and we attended Beijing No. 5 Middle School for a day. We went to the Great Wall, a spectacular Kung Fu show, Olympic Park, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. We also tested our bartering skills at the Pearl Market. The whole experience brought students closer together, and created memories none of us will ever forget.

Year 10 “These boys are an exceptional group of young men, who will certainly raise the bar for coming year levels as they continue to strive for the highest.”

- Mr Nicholls

I have had the pleasure of being the Year Level Coordinator for the boys for two years and have been able to observe their growth over this time. I believe that 2010 has been defined by the following events:

to all. A prayer service was held to commemorate Maree-Ann, look for guidance and offer our support for Michael, his father and his family. Such compassion and faith is the cornerstone of our College.

I am proud of every one of the boys. I wish them WORK EXPERIENCE Early in the year all boys completed Work Experience good luck in their VCE and will watch on in anticipation of the marvellous achievements to come. and gained a valuable understanding of their chosen These boys are an exceptional group of young men, area of interest and firsthand experience of the “real who will certainly raise the bar for coming year levels world”. Many of the boys challenged themselves in as they continue to strive for the highest. their chosen area and from this many exciting and interesting stories were related to friends and teachers Mr Brendan Nicholls - Year 10 Coordinator on their return.

TASMANIAN CRICKET TOUR

ACC FOOTBALL PREMIERSHIP The year was unique as the Year Level entered in the Year 10 ACC Australian Rules Football Competition.

Under the direction of their Coaches Mr Holt and Mr Hood the boys prepared for competition with great enthusiasm and commitment. The seasons saw only one defeat for the boys. A crushing victory over St Bernards in the Grand Final demonstrated their dedication, class and discipline.

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

This year’s production was Jesus Christ Superstar. The success of the production was very much dependent on the Year 10 boys involved. Many of the cast, back stage and support crew, including the lead, were boys from within our ranks. We are certainly lucky to have such talented and committed young men in the year level in the areas of performance and music.

BLOOD BANK DONORS

The year has seen the largest number of Year 10 boys donate blood at the College – ever! A wonderful achievement both for the year level and the individual boys who gave blood throughout the year. This community service is the highest in my eyes as every boy who gave blood has saved the lives of up to three strangers. This is a gift that cannot be bought or ever repaid. Well done indeed.

I was privileged to travel to Tasmania with the St Joseph’s Year 10 Cricket Team. We were going there to play cricket against some of the best Junior Cricket teams in Tasmania.

We started off with a 2-hour indoor training session at the Kookaburra Indoor Centre, a tour of Bellerive Oval and the Interactive Cricket Museum. The most exciting thing that happened was watching Ricky Ponting bat in the nets. It was amazing how much power he hit the ball with and how smooth and balanced he was. We then travelled to Ferguson Oval to play our first game against the Tasmanian U/15 squad. We started with a solid warm up and ended up blowing them out of the water.

The next day we had another net session, and seeing parent, Leroy Miller take the 6 wickets for 20, was a good start to the day. After training, we all went to watch Ricky Ponting again. Afterwards he came over and we talked with him for a while. After that marvellous encounter we headed off to play mini golf before our next game. We were playing the other half of Tassie U/15 Squad.

The next morning, with the second win on the board we visited Mr Wrigley at his new school, the famous St Virgil’s College. Our third and last game was against their First XI. We made 157 and we ended up bowling them out for 108. After the game we jumped back on the bus ready to go. I had a great time and would like TRAGEDY In October Maree-Ann Blain (Mother of Michael) to thank St Joseph’s College, Jesse Manganelli, the four dads and Mr Breheny for taking us on this trip. passed away.

Year 11 “How can a year level be so great: some of the best people any of us will ever know.”

- Jem Moore.

“The experience from this one day at the ‘Eric Heart Centre’ gave me the opportunity to enjoy talking to the elderly.”

- Jake Bond “The day at Nelson Park school was worthwhile as we helped the students and they appreciated it with Hayden, a student, asking ‘Do the helpers have to go?”

- Andrew Van Bergen

A DIFFERENT MODEL OF YEAR LEVEL LEADERSHIP

With growing enrolments and, therefore, greater pastoral needs and administrative demands, a dual coordinating role has been piloted and will continue next year as we take this cohort into Year 12. Rather than delineate jobs, it was agreed from the outset for both coordinators to take responsibility for all facets of the role, with a particular focus on making connections with as many students as possible, since this must be the greatest advantage of the model.

Another benefit for students and staff is that one or the other is always available, allowing issues to be addressed as they arise. Although we have different styles of leadership, our message to the boys is consistent: it is time to take responsibility for themselves; work in partnership with staff; immerse themselves in the school community; and promote a positive school culture and image.

It is with great satisfaction that we can report confidently most Year 11s have made significant progress in these areas. As a group, they are earning a very good reputation as being compassionate and inclusive, with a strong social conscience. They are enormously talented in a broad variety of arenas, including scholarship and sporting prowess.

Showcase 1 and 2 were two special year level assemblies which highlighted some amazing musicians and unearthed some comedic talent, obviously honed in the classroom for years, and finally given a legitimate stage. We now turn our attention to 2011 and look forward to the boys forging a successful path and adding another fantastic chapter to the St Joseph’s story.

FIVE DOWN – ONE TO GO

Things are starting to get serious for the first time in our lives. With almost half the year level doing Unit 3 and 4 subjects, we can see our future being directly influenced by what we are doing now.

It is our turn to be the Senior boys of the College.

We are wearing our black jumpers with pride and able to see the Year 7s walking into school looking at us with admiration.

The Year 11 Leaders have been part of the Senior Leadership Team and we finally got our say in the bigger school issues. We also organised a number of events for the Year 11s. Some of these included a Showcase of talent, community service and social with Clonard College.

The one thing that thrilled us was the co-ed classes.

The girls from Sacred Heart and Clonard shared classes with the Joeys boys and for the first time since Primary School the classroom became alive and vibrant.

2010 is now over and our final year at St Joseph’s is just around the corner. All of the boys are excited about 2011 whilst secretly anxious about what the year may bring.Year 12 will continue to build on the memories of our time at St Joseph’s. A little more serious as we dedicate our time to our studies, but I believe it will be our best year at the College yet.

Year 12 “You are not remembered as the ATER number you eventually achieve, but for the Joey’s young man you are and the impact you’ve had on the school and those around during your time at St Joseph’s College.”

- Mr Timms

At the beginning of the year I challenged the class of 2010 to achieve at the highest possible level and strive for excellence. Throughout the year they have succeeded in both those areas, whether it be in the arts, the sporting field, or academic area.

The enthusiasm and dedication the musically talented students displayed throughout the school production and performances at assemblies were exceptional.

Alongside this was the success of the senior football and soccer teams, this clearly demonstrates the depth of sporting talent the year level possesses. The outstanding academic results that were produced throughout all subject areas during the year is a clear indication that students have already experienced academic success and will continue to be successful in their chosen fields after school.

Our wish now is that each and every student achieves their goals in their final results. At the same time, we want you to know you are not remembered as the ATER number you eventually achieve, but for the Joey’s young man you are and the impact you’ve had on the school and those around during your time at St Joseph’s College.

The Year 12 students this year were challenged with the prospect of completing a compulsory three hours community service in and around the area of Geelong. This was a new program that tested the students culturally, physically and emotionally.

The year level successfully rose to the challenge with almost every student completing the task. This indicated the students’ commitment to the Edmund

54

Rice traditions and the wider SJC community. I would like to thank Jo Hart for her organisation and hard work in making this program possible.

The Leadership team of 2010 provided great direction and enthusiasm in all their pursuits throughout the year. The College Co-Captains Tom Cooper and Darcy Moore and the College Vice Captain Peter Mileto were instrumental in the coordination of several College fund raising and awareness events, including The Rainbow Swimathon, 40 Hour Famine and The Cage. Together with the support of the entire leadership team they managed to raise thousands of dollars for a number of different charitable organisations. I congratulate all of the boys on their outstanding efforts throughout 2010.

Homeroom teachers have been an integral part of the year level and have displayed great support to the boys and myself throughout the entire year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Steve Catanzariti, Margot Davies, Annalea McCurry, Anne Condon, Kathy Jenkins, Michael Davies, Lauren Humphris, Jason O’Connell and Simon Cahir. I would also like to thank all Year 12 subject teachers who have supported, encouraged and nurtured these students during their final year of schooling. I am sure staff and students alike will remember each other with fond memories.

On a more personal note I have enjoyed my time immensely over the past two years as the students’ year level coordinator. It has given me an opportunity to develop a strong rapport and mutual respect with the whole student body. I encourage all the students to follow their goals and ambitions, and I sincerely wish them all the best for the future.

Community Service “It opened your eyes to what disabled people are like.”

- Brandon Heinrich

2010 has seen an enormous development in Community Service at St Joseph’s. As a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition it is important that compassion and service are integral components of our College. With the aim of involving all students in this we set about creating a program relevant for each year level.

“I thought it was something we needed to experience to see how some people have to live their life.”

- Mackenzie Dolder

Year 7s and 8s were given the task of taking on a project during Religious Education classes. As a class they were to find out about the issue and promote awareness of it throughout the college community.

7C began the program in fantastic fashion with a focus on Project Compassion. The first whole school assembly saw two students from 7C present a powerful speech to the school about Project Compassion and the work of Caritas. Other issues the classes have been involved with have included Close the Gap, Diabetes, ANZAC Day, Daffodil Day and the St Vinnies Christmas Appeal.

“It was good to see the smiles on the kids’ faces when we arrived.”

- Tom Breed

Local primary schools have enjoyed having Year 9 students assist them in many ways including working with students in class, hearing students read, sanding and painting a fence and gardening. We have been able to provide extra assistance when requested, such as accompanying Corio South Grade 1 students on an excursion to the You Yangs and helping with their Junior School Athletics.

Year 10 students have been attending aged-care facilities. The residents have looked forward to their visits as the boys have played carpet bowls with them, helped with craft activities, built models and listened to their stories about the past. It has been an eye-opening experience for many of our students.

During activities week,Year 11 students completed four days of community service. They rotated around different activities including working at primary schools, on environmental projects, learning about disability awareness and assisting at one of our diversity groups such as aged-care and disability services. The week was a challenging one for many of the students as they were faced with a reality which people in our community deal with every d but which most of us rarely consider. These day Year 11s experience blindness

64

experiences enabled the students to learn a lot about themselves and their capabilities.

A different approach was taken at Year 12 level.

Given the academic time commitments it was decided to give these students the choice of what community service would best suit them. They were required to complete at least three hours of service for the year. Many students took up the opportunities provided through the school such as donating at the Blood Bank, tutoring Sudanese primary school students and participating in the 40 Hour famine. Others organised their three hours themselves, including volunteering at various St Vincent de Paul and aged-care facilities, Surf Life Saving, CFA and a variety of others.

All of the organisations that have been involved from throughout Geelong and the local area have complimented the students on their participation in their programs and are looking forward to seeing them back next year.

Jo Hart - Community Service Coordinator

BLOOD BANK CHALLENGE This year, over 140 St Joseph’s students from years 10 to 12 and 30 staff members have generously donated blood to save the lives of victims of various illnesses. Some individuals have donated up to four times this year, either at the blood bank centre or the mobile blood donation van that came twice this year and received over 60 donations at each visit.

We are well on our way to exceed 300 donations, a record for our school or any other school in Victoria.

In the Interhouse Blood Bank Challenge, Butler has gathered the most donations and will win the challenge this year.

Thank you to all the staff and students who have donated blood this year.

LAKE MUNGO RENEWAL

A group of Year 12 students spent their Renewal traveling to Lake Mungo under the guidance of Vicki Clarke from the Catholic Aboriginal Ministry. It was a great chance to reflect upon issues that have impacted on Aboriginal people since white settlement, and the need for young people to take the lead in stamping out racism and discrimination.

FIRE CARRIERS AND MESSAGE STICK

As a means of continuing our journey to full reconciliation with our indigenous people, the school was able to integrate the Fire Carrier program and the message stick into our important ceremonies.

Luke Christiansen and Will Carty (Year 11) were nominated as our Fire Carriers and held the responsibility of being symbols of reconciliation. The Message stick is now part of our liturgies, thanks to Daniel Brugman (Year 10), and symbolises the need to pass on the values of a truly united country.

YEPPOON

In October, 16 Year 9 boys and two teachers, went to Yeppoon in QLD and stayed at St Brendan’s College for eight days. During this trip we experienced activities which were part of life at St Brendan’s.

These included aboriginal cultural activities, golf, music, shooting, caving and much more. We were paired up with ‘buddies’ and went to their classes and they came with us on activities. We played Gaelic football which we won, but in rugby, of course the Brendan’s boys won. We gave our buddies a Joey’s cap each as a thank you for the great experience The ‘G game in May.

Edmund Rice Day Edmund Rice Day got off to a great start this year with a beautiful liturgy put together by Mr Chapman and John Harmon which was situated under a nice warm sun in the quadrangle where Darcy Moore and Tom Cooper did a fantastic job speaking about their amazing experiences in South Africa and Mr Bates Sung a tribute song to Edmund Rice. The school of St Joseph’s was also visited by a famous face Brother Kevin Woodruff, who made a special trip down from Melbourne to celebrate a very special day with a very special school he holds close to his heart. The liturgy was followed by the cross country which had a great participation rate and was run in the best spirit the school sees all year round. Students then returned to school greeted by a donut, drink and a choice of pizza, pie or hotdog. The afternoon events entailed many great activities such as bungee slingshot, X-box tournaments, water balloon slingshots, soccer knockout tournaments, teachers vs. student footy match, Edstock as well as many other great

activities. The day was a great success with students paying before the day and gaining free access to all the activities which made the day run much smoother. Overall Edmund Rice Day 2010 was held in great harmonious spirits.

Peter Mileto

EDMUND RICE DAY

The long anticipated Edmund Rice day finally came on the 19th of April, 2010. The day started off with a Mass in the Quadrangle, and then we started the cross country run. Five km’s is a long way to run, but we still enjoyed it to the full. Upon returning from the cross country, we started doing some activities.

There were Bands playing in the Quad, Xbox competitions, AFL related games and many more.

It was a great experience for all staff and students.

My first Edmund Rice Day will be one to always remember.

College Houses & Sport “Butler’s lead was quickly swallowed by the plethora of Jordan and Foley participants, eager to have their house declared winner.

Records were broken, tears were cried, and donughts were eaten as Foley surged towards a eighth straight athletics victory.

Even a gallant effort from Butler boy Josh Dillon, winning the College Classic, was not enough to stop the falcons, and Foley won… again.”

- David Cann

JORDAN HOUSE

It has been a good year for the Jordan Redbacks, after a very poor showing in the swimming sports, at Kardina Pool, where we finished last by over 200.

Although we lost that day all the boys had heaps of fun competing, with a lot of excitement caused by the inclusion of a water polo competition. After the swimming sports comes Edmund Rice Day and the Cross Country, which we are usually strong in and this year was no different. We won Cross Country after good runs by our younger runners and a top three finish by Year 12 Danny Gray.

Four days later we had our annual Athletics carnival, a day all the boys enjoy. We started the day by coming equal second in the cheering competition and continued our good form all day eventually finishing in second place, by just 80 points, to the Foley Falcons. it was a good year by the Redbacks and I hope they continue the good form next year and break Foley’s stranglehold on the Athletics title.

The final glory of course was when it was announced that Jordan House had won the Adam Bryant Shield. I was so proud to be called up on the last assembly by Mr Tobias to accept the Adam Bryant Shield. Thank you every one last of you Jordan boys who made this happen.

Jordan Haskins

FOLEY HOUSE

Foley got off to a good start, finishing a close second to Brophy in the College swimming carnival. It was great to see the participation from the boys in green during the day and although we came second it was an enjoyable day none the less.

We backed up our performance from the swimming sports with a second in cross country. Foley haven’t been known to be good over long distances but we showed that we were up to it with a strong second placing.

Athletics Day: every young Foley boy’s favourite two words. Eleven out of the past twelve athletics sports have been won by the house which clearly

68

thrives on the day. Participation has been the key to Foley’s success, along with great luck in the athletes that happen to reside in the house. But all in all it has been great to captain such a prestigious house.

Conor Reddan

BUTLER HOUSE

This year as leader I had the privilege to be Captain of the Butler House. As Captain I was able to lead the Butler boys into the swimming, athletics and cross country carnivals. It was disappointing to come third in all the events but I was pleased of the boys’ efforts as they fought hard all day in each carnival.

A highlight out of the swimming carnival for Butler was the Year 7s winning the water polo competition, earning valuable points for the team. It was good to see we had consistency even though we didn’t win anything we didn’t come last either. I have been privileged to be a part of the leadership team and this experience has given me quality skills to take with me in my next stage of my life. I am proud to say I was Captain of the Butler House and with many years of being down at the bottom of the ladder it’s a bright future and hopefully one day soon Butler House will be holding up the Adam Bryant Shield.

Andrew Boseley

BROPHY HOUSE

We have had a great start to the year but unfortunately Edmund Rice Day wasn’t our day. We were disappointed with our results but the good thing is we can only do better next year. I was proud of all the Brophy Boys with everyone trying their hardest in the run, and the participation rate was high.

One thing I tried to bring to Brophy this year was house spirit, and we excelled with us having the greatest chants by far and the members of the cheer squad getting truly excited about sports days. Again we were disappointed with the result but Brophy can swim extremely well with the boys dominating the pool and we tend to struggle on the track. We are going to draft well next year with the Year 7s and with a bit of luck do better on the track.

Basketball JUNIOR TEAM The Junior team this year was made up of a combination of Year 7 & 8 students. At the CAS Regional day held at MSAC the boys played extremely well and reached the final undefeated. In a close game they couldn’t quite manage to get a win, eventually losing by 3 points.

At the Victorian College Championships held at Werribee the Juniors once again excelled. They reached the semi-final and overturned the result from the CAS day beating the school they lost to by 5 points. They progressed to the Grand Final but couldn’t quite manage a win against a much stronger and taller opposition. As runners up they qualified for the Finals Day held at Mill Park.

After winning two pool games and losing two, they missed out on the semi-finals. They won their final classification game which meant they finished fifth overall in the Victorian College Championships – a great effort.

Junior Representitives: Mark Dela Paz, Sam Capra, Matthew Milanovic, Ryan Bentley, Jake Smith, Kurt Tremain, Xavier McKeegan, Tom Doedee, Bailey Biggs, Darcy Bennett.

INTERMEDIATE TEAM

The Intermediate team, made up of Year 9 & 10 students really showed improvement as the year progressed. At the CAS regional day the boys managed a few wins but failed to make the final. A much better day in terms of results was at the Victorian College Championships first round where they

played some excellent basketball to reach the final. They finished runners-up on the day and qualified for the Finals Day at Mill Park. The Finals Day. There the team enjoyed playing high quality opposition and were very competitive but did not proceed to the semi-final rounds. Overall, they finished 7th.

Intermediate Representitives: John Buaya, Anthony Ferrante, Julian Cole, Harrison Dolley, Darcy Bennett, Levi West, Adrian VanEtten,Yani Bourdamis, Taylor Read, Brad Wood, Tom Simic.

SENIOR TEAM

The Senior team was made up of several different VCE students this year. The CAS regional day saw some good results and the boys, like the Juniors made it to the Final.

Unfortunately, they got beaten in a close game, but a good effort to reach the Final. The boys went straight to the Victorian College Championship Grand Final day at Mill Park where they were competitive against some elite Melbourne basketball schools. They did not reach the semis and had an overall classification of 6th – a good result considering they had not played much basketball as a group.

Senior Representitives: Jordan Roberston, Anthony Bousejean, Blake Keating, Ryan Jurica, Steve Smith, Mitchell Cotter, Will Charter, Jake Carnell, Gabriel Dillon, Andrew Teale, Ryan Mays.

Finally, I would like to thank Mr Bryson Milverton, Sportsmaster for his continued support and assistance with coaching and organising arrangements for our teams.

St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club Ending the series failing to make finals in both senior football and netball was a major disappointment for our club. However it’s now history and we now set about making changes to have our teams back in the finals next season. I would like to recognise the outstanding contribution of out going senior coach, Mark Hovey, for his club values, positivity, unselfishness and enthusiasm over the last three seasons. Mark and his family have helped everyone realise that we are still a country family footy and netball club and will always need our players, volunteers, kids and committee.Thanks Mark!

I am totally confident that the reserves team Dom Podbury is building this year will restore depth into our playing list, and I wish him well in his time off.The great performance the Under 18 lads under Mark Russell and Luke Madden will assist players in taking the next step in their career.The As gained some valuable finals experience and a few boys tasted some senior football during the season.

Elloise Southby-Halbish made an impact in her first season with a new young side and some good wins, our senior A Grade team is heading in the right direction in this rebuilding year, we are confident they will be back up there soon! The highlight at the season end was the terrific Premiership won by our C Grade netballers who played great pressure netball to defeat St Albans. Shannyn Leach, a key member of our 2008 A & 2010 C grade Premiership teams, was awarded life membership after reaching 200 games this season. She truly is one of Geelong’s great female sporting stars!

The hard working Committee continues to put in many volunteer hours required to run this massive business - thank you all.To survive at this level we need to continually raise finances and sponsorship, which I am very proud to say that we have achieved each year.

The amazing support we have received by all of our sponsors over my time at St Joseph’s has been so uplifting, thank you to the Watts family at Signature Homes, and Troy Smith at ASA in South Australia.

Both companies provide us with incredible financial support. I am very proud of our network of people and sponsors.Thank you all.

We had more On-Ballers, and Club 32 members this year, our Teams of the Decade night was a hit, and Rockerama saw the showroom at the Sphinx full of Joeys people. Other fundraising highlights were our 74

Raffle Day, and the Finals Catering - a massive task. Beck Gurrie made a huge contribution, to her and the hard work done by the volunteersthank you Congratulations to Daniel Lovick and Tessa Burton on winning the St Joseph’s Medal, our most prestigious individual club award. I would also like to congratulate our Dr John Appleford Award winner- Annie Cramp, and Br John O’Neill award winner -Michelle Breed. Annie and Michelle it is difficult to personally reward everyone, their contributions all help to make the club what it is.

To my hard working Executives, I say a BIG thank you.They have been a wonderful support to me in my years as president. I know with these people around every effort is being made to keep this club moving in the right direction. Congratulations to Neville Coots who completes the longest stint in our club’s history as treasurer.

Our continued collaborative approach with Football Geelong, Newtown Little League, Auskick,The City of Greater Geelong and the St Peters Cricket Club has been vital in supporting our goals and objectives. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our Junior President, Jane Littore for her approach to junior development and assisting in making the senior club the preferred option for most players leaving the junior ranks.

After 4 years it is time for me to step down.The journey has been fantastic, and I will always be a person who will never waiver in my support for the red, gold and black. I have made some very good friends along the way and I have developed a true lifelong brother hood with some amazing blokes- Adrian Hart, John McKinnon, Brad Lancaster, Mark Hovey and Nev Coots- thanks for being there for me boys! We have had the most incredible ambassador that any club could wish for- our friend Nick Maxwell, past player, AFL star and Inspirational Collingwood Premiership Captain.

Season 2011 promises to be both exciting and challenging. I pass my sincere best wishes to the incoming administration and hope you achieve great success. In closing, I would like to acknowledge the contribution made by my family because without it I would not be involved.Thanks again for the families who sacrifice so much to allow us to enjoy what we do.

Go Joeys-Mark Jackman

Senior Football After the challenging task of selecting the final squad, we held a team meeting to set some goals and expectations for the season. The conclusion of this meeting saw the boys commit to one key goal which was to better the results from 2009. This effectively meant that the team had to win the ACC Grand Final and had to reach the Herald Sun Shield Grand Final.

While these goals were high, there was a belief amongst the group that they were achievable.

A first round loss against St. Bernard’s meant that to achieve our goals the team would have to go through the rest of the season undefeated. Despite some very competitive games we managed this feat. A win against Whitefriars College in our final game of the season ensured a Herald Sun Shield Semi Final position and an ACC Grand Final.

The ACC Grand Final was held at Werribee VFL ground and once again we came up against St. Bernard’s. After managing to get out to leads of around 20 points on a few occasions, we were unable to finish the game off and to their credit St. Bernard’s fought the game out right until the end. With some luck going our way we managed to be in front by 5 points at the final siren.

Our next game was to be the Herald Shield Semi-Final against PEGS. The game was held at Port Melbourne in wet and windy conditions. While the scores were close all day, we only

managed to hit the front when it mattered most, after the final siren. The siren sounded with us a point down and the ball in the hands of Luke Dahlhaus who was about 30 metres out from goal. His accurate kick saw the grand stand erupt and resulted in a five point win and a place in the Grand Final to be played at the MCG. The day came for the match at the ‘G’ and the bus was filled with anticipation and excitement. We arrived early and had the opportunity for a walk and kick on the hallowed turf. With preparations complete and warm up over the boys ran out to face St. Patrick’s College Ballarat. Unfortunately this is where the fairy tale ended as St. Pat’s were far too good for us on the day. Despite fighting the game out until the end the 52 point margin was probably an accurate reflection of the difference between the two sides.

Despite the Grand Final loss the opportunity to play on the MCG will remain a life-long positive memory for the boys.

Congratulations must go to all the students who represented the College throughout the year as well as the number of boys who generously volunteered to help in a variety of capacities.

Thanks also to the following staff for the enormous amount of time they dedicated to the team throughout the year: Dave Breheny, Bryson Milverton, Jesse Manganelli, Steve Catanzariti, Paul Hood, Shane Dawson, Mick Hinds, Lenny Alford and Greg Vaughan.

Soccer I would like to start by acknowledging all the boys in the senior soccer team. Ten years ago the St Joseph’s College Soccer team had a low reputation among the other competitive schools. Since then we have become the force to be reckoned with.

boys on your outstanding effort of fair play and great sportsmanship.You have done the College proud and left a lasting legacy that will challenge future generations to strive for the highest!

Pete Mileto.

When these young boys enrolled into Year 7 at this school, little did they know what a fine soccer team they would become, with a very successful six years ahead of them. Over these years this team has stuck together to win countless tournaments including The Intermediate Football Federation of Victoria All Schools Championships- the highest achievement in school soccer competitions in Victoria- and a runners up medal in the same competition at Senior Level. That is a fantastic effort boys.

ACC COMPETITION RESULTS:

Many of those who played in this year’s senior soccer team have been instrumental in the development and success of the soccer culture at St Joseph’s College. I would like to highlight the achievements this year. The senior soccer team at St Joseph’s College was the runner-up in the ACC competition and finished 3rd at the FFV Victorian All Schools Championship. Well done.

Finally, on behalf of all the boys, I would like to thank the coaches Mr Trupkovic and Mr O’Connell for an excellent year and all the encouragement. Thank you to Mr Hinds, Mr Milverton and Mr Tobias for their continued support over the years.

I would also like to thank all the teachers for their support and understanding in allowing players to miss class when representing their school. Also, a special thanks to Frank Mileto who has been the team manager throughout the year. To all the players, congratulations

Curriculum “Within the classroom and across the school the challenge is to always be looking at ways to more effectively engage students and meet their needs. The framework gives us a good opportunity to consider what it is we need to do to make further gains.

A number of initiatives are in place in to better engage our students and support in the schooling at St Joseph’s.”

- Rob Blackley

2010 saw the release of the Myschool website, providing parents with data normally not available to them regarding the school’s performance and the opportunity to make comparisons between schools. There has been much academic and media debate about the reliability and accuracy of the data and whether it presents a true picture of what is happening and what is being achieved in schools.

Like all data one can put their own interpretation and analysis of what is happening and the challenge for St Joseph’s is how we can use the information available through the different forms of assessment and results to meet the academic and social needs of our students. A major focus this year has been on how we can use the data we collect to better improve the learning and teaching within our classrooms.

The focus on our data coincides with the school participating in the Catholic Education Office School Improvement Framework. This is a process to review our practices and set targets for improvement across the school. Within the classroom and across the school the challenge is to always be looking at ways to more effectively engage students and meet their needs. The framework gives us a good opportunity to consider what it is we need to do to make further gains. A number of initiatives are in place to better engage our students and support in the schooling at St Joseph’s.

AD ALTA 10

2010 has seen the consolidation of the curriculum pathway Ad Alta 10 for Year 10 students, with 19 students enrolled. Ad Alta 10 is a mixture of traditional subject areas,VET subjects and increased work experience throughout the year. The students have been involved in community service visits, with Mr Anthony Chapman, to primary schools and aged homes through their Religious Education program, achieved different levels of belt grading in the martial arts class with Mr Jack Jurica and undertaken work experience on four separate occasions throughout the year, under the watchful eyes of Mrs Leah Irving.

Upon completion students can pursue a

VCAL program, enrol in VCE or find employment.

The program is about meeting the needs of students using an applied learning model.

GEELONG CENTRAL

Over the past two years we have been part of a project working with the Geelong LLEN and other schools within the region developing a model to better track the progress and pathways of students.

This has lead to the development of Geelong Central; a comprehensive web based system that pulls together data relevant to student learning and performance from a range of sources and makes it readily available in user friendly formats. 2010 saw the roll out of Geelong Central across six Geelong secondary schools involved in the project. St Joseph’s College and Geelong High School have been the two pilot schools in the project. It enables each school to collect and analyse their data, individually determined by each participating school as being relevant for supporting students in their learning and for developing appropriate pathways with them in ongoing, guided discussion. This data driven approach to improving teaching and learning is about empowering both teachers and students – teachers coming to understand themselves better as professional educators and students coming to understand themselves better as learners and therefore with opportunities to shape the data base pertaining to themselves. 2011 will see further expansion and access to Geelong Central.

NAPLAN & ON DEMAND TESTING

The National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) for all Year 7 and 9 students was completed early in May. This year allows us to make comparisons of the progress individual students have made from Year 7 to Year 9. Our results indicated our students performed above the state and national average in all areas. An area that has been identified where more work needs to be done to support our students is in writing. A Year 7 literacy handbook has been developed and

Curriculum distributed to each year 7 student which provides samples and scaffolds for each subject area. It is planned for this handbook to be carried and used by students and teachers as they move through the year levels.

This year all Year 7 and 8 students have completed the On demand testing developed by VCAAVictorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority in the areas of literacy and numeracy. These online tests are completed three times during the year to provide valuable information for teachers of the students’ progress. For the first time this year all incoming Year 7 students for 2011 have participated in the same testing program, giving us important information before they start at St Joseph’s.

INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES Articulated in the College’s Mission Statement is a commitment to integrate an awareness and knowledge of Indigenous culture, history and spirituality throughout the curriculum. I wrote in last year’s Virtus, “a number of initiatives have been put in place and undertaken this year” and I am very pleased to write that much has been achieved this year. A student exchange program has been established with St Brendan’s College,Yeppoon with reciprocal visits. A group of students travelled to Daly River, Northern Territory earlier in the year. We also had the opportunity to host a visit from St John’s Darwin where our Year 10 football team played St John’s in a most entertaining game on Zampatti Oval. Two students were appointed as Fire Carriers, Luke Christensen Will Carty to promote Indigenous awareness and a group of Year 12 students travelled to Lake Mungo as part of the retreat program. Next year the enrolment of Indigenous will grow to 12 across all year levels, reflecting the positive work we are doing in supporting Indigenous students and raising the awareness of our broader community.

VCE LECTURES

The annual revision lectures offered this year at the College saw an increase in the number of students

from St Joseph’s College and other schools attending the lectures, approximately 700 students attended the lectures over the four day period. It was very pleasing and encouraging to see so many St Joseph’s College students taking the opportunity to avail themselves of these lectures.

AFRICA

During the Term 2 holiday break I had the privilege of travelling to East Africa and visiting a number of the schools and ministries the community of St Joseph’s College supports through the Christian Brother’s Foundation. I travelled with three other teachers from across Edmund Rice schools and accompanied by Br John Carrigg to see firsthand the contribution our school communities are making to the lives and wellbeing of the African people. It was the most extraordinary experience, witnessing the work and commitment of the Christian Brothers.

The impact these men have on the lives of the African people is not to be under estimated, they are Christ like in their actions and live out the spirit and charism of Edmund Rice.

I came away with many emotions, one being an enormous sense of pride in being associated with the Christian Brothers and St Joseph’s College. Every member of the St Joseph’s College community can feel proud of the work the Brothers undertake and the financial contributions we as a community make to their work. The brothers are very humble in their work and strongly hold the view that they are not able to do what they do without the support and encouragement they receive from communities like St Joseph’s. Each time I came away from the many schools we visited thankful of what we have got and very impressed with the commitment and dedication of the principals and staff. At the end of day the brothers, staff and parents of the schools all had the same intention of what St Joseph’s staff and parents desire, that being, to do their best for the students and sons.

“I was accompanied

by Br John Carrigg to see firsthand the contribution our school communities are making to the lives and wellbeing of the African people.

It was the most extraordinary experience, witnessing the work and commitment of the Christian Brothers.”

Literacy “I love words, I love how they are put together, I love how they make meaning and tell me something new about the world and, indeed, about myself.”

- Michelle Sweeney

A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF LITERACY…

I’m feeling primeval, hunter and gatherer style, though it’s more like gather and disseminator; searching journals and websites for literacy fragments, combing cyberspace for competitions, following the sound of worded wonders, musing over the meaning carried within language, formulating structures and snippets of strategy to pass on to students, other teachers and parents. What is my aim? To enhance understanding of how texts are created and used, to identify text types and related specific terminology, and to keep literacy at the forefront of our lifelong learning. It is a BIG aim, but I’m not alone.

“Literacy arouses hopes, not only in society as a whole but also in the individual who is striving for fulfilment, happiness and personal benefit by learning...Literacy…means far more than learning to read and write…the aim is to transmit…knowledge and promote social participation.” - UNESCO. All of our teachers are engaged in this process.

This year I have worked closely with the science and humanities faculties to create ways to embed a higher level of literacy into aspects of their curriculum. I have been reassured by the enthusiasm

and cooperation of the teachers to participate in literacy teaching.

I love words, I love how they are put together, I love how they make meaning and tell me something new about the world and, indeed, about myself.

I love finding words I would never have thought would go together that suddenly seem in sync and so succinctly describe something seen or felt like: ‘he was jasmine-sad’ evoking memories of the heaviness of the scent of jasmine and how sadness hangs around like a scent thick in the air, or ‘her feet were heel-trapped’ - you can almost experience how claustrophobic those toes feel with no space to wriggle free.

Our student body has also embraced this passion for the written word. National Literacy Week saw the creation of collaborative story writing across each year level. We also saw students involving themselves in a range of writing competitions.

It’s been a great year so far. Thank you to staff and students who have been involved in the writing, thinking, talking and understanding of words and the worlds they create in 2010. Well done to all the boys who had their writing published in and outside of the school. I hope you all continue to be as awestruck by the wonder of words as I constantly find myself!

Michelle Sweeney - Literacy Coordinator

Mathematics “I was very pleased for the boys to be informed by the organisers of the competition, Dr Christine Mangelsdorf and Dr HengSoon Gan from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics , University of Melbourne that we had been awarded 1st place.”

- Michael Anderson 92

On 22 June I took eleven of our best Year 11 Mathematics students to the University of Melbourne Maths Fair. The fair consisted of two key events: Mathematics Exposed and the Mathematics in Industry and Technology (MIT) Challenge.

Mathematics Exposed was a showcase of career profiles of Mathematics and Statistic graduates. The session included talks by guest speakers, recent graduates and current students aimed at showing how and where mathematics and statistics are used in various professions.

The MIT Challenge was a four student team competition designed to give students a taste of real world consulting. The competition was recommended for strong Year 11 and Year 12 mathematics students.

There was also a 1- hour problem solving competition followed by a presentation by Dr Marty Ross about Henri Poincares Million Dollar Puzzle.

We entered two teams in the MIT Challenge and three boys competed in the problem solving competition.

At 3.00pm the finalists of the MIT challenge were announced. We were all surprised, considering the opposition, to have one of our teams in the final five.

The final order of place-getters would be decided after each team gave a presentation to the whole group (approximately 400 students and teachers).

Our team led by Chris Knight was fourth in line to make their presentation. Each of the boys, Jonny Fazio, Jordan Hagebols, David Cann and Chris Knight made a great contribution to the presentation.

We were very anxious to find out the final result but the judges dismissed us and said the final result would not be announced until the next day, so we had to drive back down the highway wondering our fate.

I was very pleased for the boys to be informed by the organisers of the competition, Dr Christine Mangelsdorf and Dr Heng-Soon Gan from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics , University of Melbourne that we had been awarded 1st place.

Members of the winning team will be presented with certificates and their $800 cash prize by Dr HengSoon Gan at a whole school assembly during Term 3.

Our other competitors who performed admirably were Tom Moloney, Ryan Tay, Macually Kirsopp, Lachlan Simpson, Brad Collard, Ash Howard and Nick Mandic.

Michael Anderson - Mathematics Coordinator

Mission This year saw some significant changes in the structure of the Mission Team, with Jo Hart taking on the role of Community Service Coordinator and Phil Bates overseeing the Religious Education curriculum for the whole school. When Phil was on leave, Kylie Di Santo took the reins of RE and proved a great asset to the team. The new structure allowed us to continue our role of bringing the Good News to the community of St Joseph’s College and to allow our students and staff to experience Christ in many different ways.

CHAPLAINCY AND LITURGY

With the gym out of action for the first half of the year, full-school liturgies for Edmund Rice Day, Ash Wednesday and Holy Week were held outdoors in the Quad. It is to the great credit of the students, that these ceremonies continued to be held with great reverence and meaning. Highlights included the “full-school” sign of peace on Edmund Rice Day, and the eerie silence at the end of the Holy Week liturgy as Jesus (played by College co-captain Tom Cooper) was led away by the guards from the Garden of Gethsemane. Chaplaincy continues to grow as part of the school culture, with a variety of opportunities provided for communal prayer, and more boys taking up the offer of one-to-one talks.

MARY MACKILLOP

This year was a significant year in the life of the Catholic Church, with Mary MacKillop becoming Australia’s first saint at a canonisation ceremony in Rome on October 17th. The Mission team conducted a Mary MacKillop retreat in the lead up to the big event, which included a weekend pilgrimage to Penola in South Australia, which is the birthplace of Mary’s order, the Sisters of St Joseph. The school was also represented in Rome at the Canonisation by Tanner Redden (Year 10) and Luke Christensen (Year 11), who were part of the Archdiocese schools group. It was an incredible experience for the boys to be part of this once in a lifetime event.

TIME AND SPACE

The Time and Space program ran again during Term 4. It is a program designed for Year 10 boys and their fathers, or mentors, to immerse themselves in the issues surrounding manhood in the modern age, and to understand the value in surrounding themselves with good men to support them on life’s journey.

Thanks to Brendan Nicholls for his support of this program.

JUSTICE

The school continued to support the various justice projects that came out of the Mission office.

Whether it was Sudanese Tutoring, Refugee Holiday Programs, awareness raising of the issue of coltan mining in the Congo, or simply bringing in canned food for the Toucan appeal and St Vincent De Paul appeals, St Joseph’s boys continued to support others in need and bring the Kingdom of God closer to reality for all people.

CURRICULUM

A big change in the Religious Education curriculum was integrating the Pastoral Care program for Years 7-10. This has allowed pastoral care issues to be given more emphasis and to be presented and discussed more intensively than in previous years, when it was only a one lesson a week arrangement.

“There is more to being a Catholic school then just Religious Education lessons. Our Catholic Identity permeates through everything we do as a school, from what happens in the classroom to our involvement with the wider community.”

Arts Faculty YEAR 7 ART & DESIGN “We created many things, Cultural inspired masks out of mod rock, Oriental and European dragons sculptured in clay, what I enjoyed most was learning about Pop Art. This subject was very interesting and fun.”

- Nicholas Jones

B8. The room where we could forget about the stress of our other subjects, where we could let our creativity go wild. Art. It was the class where we could think what we wanted, and then make it into a masterpiece. Our artistic ability went from below average to above it, and then soared. The techniques we learnt, the thoughts we put onto paper, the weaknesses that we overcame (like Photoshop!).

Without our inspiring teacher Mrs Barton, we may not have learnt these skills.

Art was beyond ordinary.

ARTS FACULTY 2010

2010 has been an exciting year for the Arts Faculty.

We have been immersed in the diversity of our curriculum from ceramics, mixed media, painting and photography in Art to drawing, computer aided design and construction in Visual Communication and Design as well as filmmaking and critiques in Media. In The Performing Arts Drama developed their skills in script writing and acting as well as circus performance. This year’s production, “Jesus Christ Superstar” was successfully performed at the Playhouse Theatre in August and then in September the College celebrated its 75th Anniversary with music and a re-enactment of the history of the College, all carefully coordinated under the guidance of Janine Mclean (Drama) and Amy Wert (Band) and Jo Hart (Media). The Music department has been as busy as ever with curriculum and the Bands with many internal and external commitments giving the boys tremendous opportunity and experience.

Congratulations to the year 12 VCE Arts students who were most successful in their studies in 2010.

They worked tirelessly all year to achieve very pleasing results. We wish them the very best for their future endeavours.

Please read on and enjoy the many reports of student experience through the Arts in 2010.

CREATIVE MIND AT WORK

Over the semester our class has had the opportunity to make a wide variety of artworks. We have been creative in making a collage, a Mexican clay candelabra or wall plaque and a Narrative Painting about our lives. With each piece we were required to plan and annotate our artwork using the five art elements – colour, line, texture, tone and form. We learnt about a collage artist, such as Pablo Picasso and about Mexican culture which we tried to capture in our candelabra. We also went on an excursion to the Geelong Gallery and viewed narrative paintings.

It was very interesting and a subject which I enjoyed very much.

Arts Faculty 2D PAINTING & DRAWING

We started the semester with a drawing unit.

We drew from observation and then used our imaginations as well to draw. We learnt to add tone and make our work look more 3-dimensional. We focused on developing the knowledge and skills to create artworks that showed tone to add dimension to our work. We also studied abstract painting and produced our own abstract painting on canvas.

Some of us used resin to give our work a high gloss finish. We studied Pop Art and using the lino printing technique produced prints showing the popular culture theme. This subject was challenging but we learnt new skills and studied some interesting artists.

PLAY WITH CLAY

I have enjoyed art immensely this semester, in all fields of our work. The written analysis-studies we’ve done have been interesting and helpful to our practical assignments. I have particularly revelled in the planning process for each of our tasks, as in this subject I have the chance to really choose what theme and style I would like my piece to have.

With such rich variety of projects (and an excellent teacher), I hope I can continue to learn even more about sculpture before the end of the year.

3D CREATIONS

3D creations is a great way to thoroughly design and construct 3D sculptures that suit each student’s area of interest. The broad range of tasks undertaken throughout the semester ranged from assembling found objects to pop art clay construction. We started with the Assemblage task. Students had to collect found objects and assemble them in a 3D artistic composition painted in metallic silver. Our next task was pop art clay Food. The assignment on Andy Warhol gave us great inspiration and an insight into the world of pop art. Our next task was the environmental sculpture. The students designed and constructed an environmental sculpture within St Joseph’s College grounds. The task was a great way to get students thinking outside the box. 3D creations was without a doubt a success for all students involved.

Erik Lindeberg – Year 11

Studio Arts units one and two has been the best subject choice I have made. It has helped fuel and enthuse my creative nature. It has allowed me to be myself, and express and let go of my stress. Now I’m not saying it’s an easy, bludge subject. In fact there is a lot of work. There is a lot of choice and freedom in what medium you choose to create your artwork. This year I have been taught to use new mediums such as oil painting, using ink and creating lino prints. To enjoy Studio Arts you have to have a good sense of creativity, be a fun social person and be fairly dedicated. Studio Arts Year 11 is the most fun I have ever had in school.

Using Photoshop we have made some clever and creative advertisements.

We are now working on designing and creating a promotional standee for a shop counter.

Vis Com has been a challenging yet rewarding subject, and I would highly recommend giving it a go.”

PRODUCT PROMOTION AND DESIGN

In the unit ‘Product Promotion and Design’ students experienced the full process of designing through establishing their own product, this being a chocolate box. Using Adobe Photoshop students were able to experiment with several templates and designs, endeavouring to create a classy final product. The course also involved a series of planning and research, which lead to intricate sketches and drawings. Students also explored the Design Elements and Principles and how to manipulate images using these tools. The main highlight overall, was developing our chocolate box into a reality, and admiring the final product that we had created.

This semester in we have learnt drawing skills, needed to advance in Visual Communication. These include perspective drawing and technical drawing, in perspective drawing we covered 1 point, 2 point and 3 point perspective and were assessed on a perspective drawing of our choice. In technical drawing we have covered orthogonal and isometric techniques and were assessed on a chocolate bar orthogonal drawing and an isometric cube drawing.

At the moment we are doing a project in which we get to design and draw up our own dream bungalow and then sell it.

In the unit Folio Presentation we dive into the world of designing pieces for companies. The first semester consisted of a clothing project for a company in which we created an article of clothing, an original swing tag, and logo and billboard advertisement. In semester two we took a look at café menus and how we could improve or re-create a café menu to give it a new vibe and fresh look. Using materials such as wood and acrylic we had lots of fun bringing our ideas, drawings and miniature models to life and putting them on display around the school and classroom.

DESIGNING AND MAKING

In designing and making we learnt about design elements and principles and how to apply them to our designs. Our first task was to redesign a logo of our choice. This was fun and prepared us for our next task of designing our own brand/logo. During the first task we did a lot of research into our logos.

This included: drawing ideas, getting pictures from the internet and annotating them. For the second task we had to write up a design brief about what our client wants from us in the design. In this task we have to design and make a package, a swing tag and a piece of clothing. This class was fun and let you design what you want.

INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHY

This semester Introduction to Photography students focused on building and maintaining a folio. Starting the course with a quick introduction to using the cameras we were soon able to let our creativity flow in whichever way we chose. Using principle, element, or movement we captured the theme as best we could around the school.

Students who had a range of different artistic ability and interests had the freedom to work in a productive environment completing work they all enjoyed, and at the end of the day successfully created a visually appealing folio.

Liam Brennan – 10G Photos – everyone takes them, but Introduction To Photography showed you how to do it much better!

How to improve photos by following a few simple steps was discussed and investigated.

The experience of being able to take countless photos that related to what was being learned, was a great way of learning how to take better photos.

The “Art Movements Over Time” assignment allowed us to discover more about a given art movement. Photo after photo was taken, with the anticipation that one of them would reflect our chosen art movement. Adobe Photoshop was used

Throughout the semester we have studied three films of the thriller genre: Stranger on a Train, Jaws and Phonebooth. This class for me has delivered some surprise as I assumed that we would be inside for the duration of the class time we had. In the fourth term we began a short film that has allowed us time to go outside and have a considerable amount of enjoyment while learning about the art of film making. My highlight of this class so far has been going through our three thriller films and having our teacher explain what the film makers are trying to convey.

THE MEDIA IS ALL AROUND US This semester ‘The media is all around us’ has been a very interesting and fun subject. We have studied in detail how the media affects our lives, analysing the aspects of movie making and editing, creating our own animation film as well as many other interesting components of the media. ‘The media is all around us’ is certainly a great subject, where you will learn many different skills.

“This class for me has delivered some surprises as I assumed that we would be inside for the duration of the class time we had. In the fourth term we began a short film that has allowed us time to go outside and have a considerable amount of enjoyment while learning about the art of film making.”

Music “My involvement in music at St Joseph’s has encouraged me to pursue further musical opportunities.

I am currently involved with the senior ensembles of the Geelong Concert Band, as well as teaching the younger members.The school also encouraged my participation in the Geelong Summer Music Camp, where I became inspired by the older musicians and began spending a great deal of time practising!”

- Adrian King

Looking back over the last six years, being a part of music at St Joseph’s has been a terrific experience.

As a Year 7 student I joined the College Junior Band. I was soon hooked, and before I knew it I was representing the school at concerts and events, both within the school and in the wider Geelong community. Some highlights would have to include travelling with the Jazz Band to the Generations in Jazz Festival at Mt Gambier and touring Queensland with the Senior Band in 2007. On the Senior Band’s Tour, we worked with the Australian composer Ralph Hultgren, who inspired me to start composing my own music.

Since Year 7, I have seen the Music Program at St Joseph’s grow bigger and better. The bands have continued to improve, and during my time the Senior Band has received two Gold Awards at the Melbourne Bands Festival and twice been invited to perform at the Festival Finale Concert at Monash University - a high honour. Last year, both the Senior Band and the Jazz Band won first place at the Royal Geelong Show School Concert Band Competition.

It was also great fun being a part of the musical productions ‘Seussical the Musical’ in 2008 and ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ in 2010 as a member of the pit orchestra.

My involvement in music at St Joseph’s has encouraged me to pursue further musical opportunities. I am currently involved with the senior ensembles of the Geelong Concert Band, as well as teaching the younger members. The school also encouraged my participation in the Geelong Summer Music Camp, where I became inspired by the older musicians and began spending a great deal of time practising!

I hope next year to study music at Melbourne University, and eventually continue my studies overseas. I am very grateful to St Joseph’s College for giving me so many musical opportunities, and helping me to discover that music is my life’s passion.

Thank you to all the dedicated music staff, and to my fellow musicians, who have made the last six years so enjoyable and rewarding.

Adrian King , Year 12 - Music Captain, 2010

MUSIC 2010

This has been a very busy and productive year in Music at St Joseph’s College. We are very grateful to the boys for their hard work and dedication.

College Production 2010 - Jesus Christ Superstar

103

Jesus Christ Superstar “My family and I have just been to Jesus Christ Superstar and would like to congratulate all the participants of such a strong and wonderful portrayal of Jesus, his life and death.

Please pass on my best wishes to all the teachers and students who have bought this to the public.

Thank you.”

- feedback on College website

Dominic Muirhead - Caiaphas

In attempting to set Jesus Christ Superstar in its historical context we endeavoured to create an accurate picture of the last week of Jesus’ life. Of course this was an innocent idea. 30AD or so, in Judea was a place and time where no one blogged, tweeted or took videos on their mobile phones.

There was no television, no newspapers, and even the Gospels were written at least thirty years after the fact. The Gospels even differ in their recollections of what actually happened.

So there is plenty of room for discussion about the details of the story that we recognise as the Passion of Christ. In fact, for the last nearly two thousand years, much thought and scholarship has been generated about this time. Please forgive us if we have chosen a different reading of any of the details that you recognise as true.

Fortunately though, around forty years ago when Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber created the musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar,’ they absolutely kept the integrity of the story of Jesus’ last days. However you may want to dress the production, the power struggles, the political circumstances, the inner and outer conflict, the fear, the hopes and dreams of the time are all well represented and still resonate today.

I wish to thank the Production Team for their extraordinary commitment to sharing their expertise and their passion. A huge thank you to the cast, crew and all our helpers for exploring this production with such heart, body and soul.

English “On 30 August, I along with a few other students, attended the Melbourne Writer’s Festival at Federation Square. At the festival, we had the privilege to listen to several world renowned authors as they gave hundreds of young budding writers advice on writing techniques and the ways they gather ideas for their publications.The experience was exceptionally motivating and has given me inspiration to have a go at writing my own manuscript in the near future.”

- Harrison Gist

‘Last week I had the pleasure of spending five days at St Joseph’s as a writer in residence . . . In my role as a writer for young people, I visit many schools . . . my impressions of St Joseph’s were overwhelmingly favourable . . . (Your) commitment to fostering a reading and writing culture at your school is outstanding. My trip to St Joseph’s . . . reinforced to me that the best schools in our country are doing a remarkable job of preparing our young people for the future . . .’

- Michael Pryor 2010 The above comments are an extract from a letter that successful Australian author Michael Pryor sent to the College after spending a week working in Year 8 English classes. Michael is a highly successful and extensively published Australian author who writes in the fantasy genre. Two words that stand out to me from Michael’s letter are ‘commitment’ and ‘culture’.

These words encapsulate much of what St Joseph’s desires. More particularly, the English teaching staff strive to develop a culture in the students that values thinking, reading and writing, one that embeds in students a desire for curiosity about themselves and their world.

We want students to understand that if they can learn to love reading and appreciate the power of writing, then they can be enlightened to new ideas, better understand our society, both past and present, and become critical and creative thinkers who can become fully engaged within the world in which they operate.

This year students have had the opportunity to read contemporary and classical texts, novels, plays, newspapers, blogs, poetry and view a range of films. They have responded creatively and critically, generating ideas from texts they have studied and drawing on their own experiences. Students have gained experience writing in a variety of forms for a range of purposes. We have also uncovered some skilled orators in our midst. Whilst most people fear the dreaded public speaking, some people rise to the occasion, take the spotlight and shine.

The English KLA in 2010 have looked to develop the ways we integrate ICT into the curriculum to offer the students a different way of learning. Students had Author Michael Pryor talks to english students

106

opportunities to work with Photostory, Moviemaker, Inspiration, Animoto, and using and creating blogs, amongst many other programs. Digital literacy is the modern catchphrase and St Joseph’s is joining the revolution.

This year we arranged several events to facilitate student learning: • As well as speaking to Year 8, Michael Pryor addressed a small group of Year 11 and Year 12 students about effective writing, passing on some wonderful tips.

• Author and journalist Nick Place spoke to Year 7 students about narrative writing.

• Author, journalist and broadcaster Michael Wagner spoke to Year 9 about narrative writing, sports writing, comedy writing and writing careers.

• Year 12 students saw a performance of Louis Nowra’s Cosi.

• Year 10 students studying MacBeth attended a performance of the play.

• Some Year 8 and Year 10 students attended the Melbourne Writers Festival.

It has been another eventful year, one in which we hope students have learned to share our goals of embracing and committing to a culture that values achievement in reading and writing. I would like to wish all students and families a wonderful Christmas and restful break.

STUDENT BLOG WRITING ON CHARACTERS FROM THE FILM THE PRINCESS BRIDE

Inigo Montoya and Fezzik Inigo and Fezzik aren’t that different as in they are both lonely people who don’t really want to kidnap the princess. The most obvious difference is the size comparison and the weight. Inigo is little, but skilled with the sword and Fezzik is tall and super strong, but not that smart. After they quit Vezzini’s gang

ENGLISH Fezzik joins the police kinda thing and finds Inigo and sets out with him to find the Count. They are similar because they each need a purpose in their life so that they have something to do.

Ben McNamara - 7A Westly and Buttercup They both are romantic people who have a lot of love for one another. They believe that no one can stop love. He put his own life at risk for her and he did it brilliantly. He put in so much effort for her and he was trying to make a wonderful life for them so they could live happily ever after.

Harry Draper - 7B Inigo Montoya and Fezzik All the characters in The Princess Bride have different personalities. But the two that are most similar are probably Fezzik and Inigo Montoya because although one’s biggest asset was his sword skills and the other was just a giant. They were both sad and had no meaning to their lives until Vezzini came along and picked them up. Then when Vezzini died they again became lost and resorted to beer.

But this time they were able to snap out of their bad habits and concentrate on their goal, to save Westley and defeat the six-fingered man.

CREATIVE WRITING:THE ORIGIN OF LIMBLESS (THE SUPERHERO) One day, while working at the Sunshine laboratory, Carl Johnson, Jane Johnson and Herbert Williamson, got caught in the middle of a radioactive fire.

Herbert, being the show off he was, ran down the stairs to try to save several priceless, hazardous chemicals. Carl rushed to save him. Herbert was carrying several radioactive canisters when Carl got to him.

“Let go of them. We have to get out of here,” Carl yelled.

“Hell no!” Herbert replied “If I save these chemicals, I could be rich!”

Carl jumped to try and stop him but fell on top of several chemical canisters. The last thing Carl saw was his best friend’s corpse on the ground.

Carl awoke to a bright white room. It looked like a hospital, but very old and run down. He looked down at his body and was shocked. He had lost both his arms and one leg! A man in a white trench coat appeared over him. “Who are you?” Carl asked.

“I am the man that saved your life thank you very much.” The man had a strong British accent that Carl thought was familiar. “Unfortunately, you have woken up halfway through your treatment, so you’re going to feel a slight pinch…”

Carl couldn’t focus on what the man was saying because he was overcome with drowsiness. He slowly closed his eyes and went back to sleep. This time, when Carl woke up, he felt a lot stronger. He looked down at his body and saw that his former limbs had been replaced with metallic copies. There was a note from the man in the trench coat on the table which read “Dear Mr Johnson.

I apologize for my sudden departure but I had to leave, this short note should explain your new powers. I have spent millions developing new research to try and revive the dead.When I went to the laboratory to share my results, the lab was on fire and two bodies were at the foot of the door. I picked you up and you became my first test subject. It’s been two years since you passed, and you will soon discover that your new artificial limbs have superhuman strength. I hope you use these abilities for the greater good.

“We want students to understand that if they can learn to love reading and appreciate the power of writing, then they can be enlightened to new ideas, better understand our society, both past and present, and become critical and creative thinkers who can become fully engaged within the world in which they operate.”

- Peter Malone

Yours Truly - Dr. Eric Franks.”

Carl looked back to his bed and noticed there was some sort of uniform on the bed. There was a black and yellow cape, a radioactive mask from the laboratory and some torn black pants. As Carl was changing into them, he realised he looked just like a super hero. “I guess this is what the doctor meant as the greater good,” he said to himself as he walked out of the room.

Health & Physical Education “Some comments from students when using the gym for the first time were, ‘Wow, this is fantastic’, ‘PE classes are even more fun now!’, ‘It’s fun being able to play battle ball with others classes’. ‘The new gym is really cool’.

We are very lucky to have this wonderful facility and we know that it will be enjoyed by the boys for many years to come.”

- Mark Rayson & Claire Wrigley

What a fantastic year it has been in the area of PE, Health and Outdoor and Environmental Studies. This year we have seen the opening of the redeveloped Br O S Adams gymnasium, and new Adam Bryant Wellness Centre. These two areas have allowed students to learn and develop new skills in excellent surrounds. The gymnasium has allowed the PE program to be further developed, allowing two classes running simultaneously in this space. The gymnasium has also been used for a number of lunchtime sporting activities. Some comments from students when using the gym for the first time were: ‘Wow, this is fantastic’, ‘PE classes are even more fun now!’, ‘It’s fun being able to play battle ball with others classes’. ‘The new gym is really cool’. We are very lucky to have this wonderful facility and we know that it will be enjoyed by the boys for many years to come.

The Adam Bryant Wellness Centre The new Adam Bryant Wellness Centre is an outstanding facility available for use for PE classes, pathway PE electives and VCE PE. With a major contribution from the SJC Parents and Friends we were able to purchase a range of new weights equipment. The room is also used by senior boys during lunchtime who are keen to work on their fitness. Students are able to design their own gym programs and then workout in a supervised environment. A special thank-you must go to Miss Coby Cunningham for developing and co-ordinating this area into the great facility that it is for the boys and staff.

Outdoor and Environmental Studies.

Students have taken a hands on approach to the courses through their participation in a variety of outdoor experiences and visits to local environments.

This gave each student the opportunity to develop a range of skills in the outdoors, gain a greater awareness of the issues affecting these areas and how we as humans are able to reduce our impact upon environments.

Throughout the year, students have travelled far and wide in their practical experiences to support the theoretical component of the course. Some of these included hiking along the Great Ocean Walk, surfing and ocean kayaking at Warrnambool, downhill skiing at Mt Hotham, caving at Labertouche, rock climbing at Staughton Vale and ocean kayaking at a range of local and costal environments using the schools new kayaks.

A big thank you is extended to all staff involved in the department for their contributions in the area of PE, Health and Outdoor and Environmental studies, for creating a wonderful environment for students to learn and develop and for giving up their time to attend overnight camps throughout the year. Also to all the students who have contributed to a successful year in the PE, Health and Outdoor Ed we thank you for your enthusiasm!

YEAR 7 PE

This year has been great. We have learnt a range of sports like Basketball, T-ball, Soccer and Swimming. We have also done fitness testing which includes the 20 metre shuttle run (Beep Test) and the 1.6 km run. But then the gym came along and things got fierce with non-stop indoor hockey and the blinding torture of BATTLEBALL. And although destroying our year level co-ordinator Mr Hood with dodge balls was a once in a lifetime opportunity, some of the other sports 2010 has been a busy year for all involved in Outdoor were fantastic to learn too. Indoor hockey was great and Environmental Studies – with boys having the as it was something new and very few people played opportunity to get ‘out and about’ in Year 9 Wet and it making it a better experience.

Humanities 20TH CENTURY HISTORY

We hope you enjoy reading about our students’ learning experiences in Humanities this year.

COMMERCE LEVEL 5

In commerce I have learnt a lot about budgeting and how to set out my own budget. Learning how to start your own budget will help you control your money effectively and help you save.

Eric Huyntt – Year 8

MEDIEVAL HISTORY

One of the good things I learned in this class was the Black Death. The reason I liked the Black Death is because it showed how 25 million people died in 1347. A third of Europe’s population got wiped out because of the Black Death.

Aaron Chisholm – Year 8

COMMERCE LEVEL 6

I hear about economic problems in the news a lot but now I’m able to understand how it all works and it’s interesting.

Al Hickey – Year 10

LEGAL & POLITICAL STUDIES I have enjoyed learning about the different types of courts and laws. I know more about the origins of Australia’s political system and about the differences with other countries systems as well as where in the world they are in use.

Daniel Rezelj – Year 9

AUSTRALIAN HISTORY

Throughout the course of Australian History this year I have learnt many worthwhile things about Australia’s past. We covered many interesting topics including the conditions soldiers faced during WW1 in Gallipoli, the importance of Aborigines in Australia and the effects that WW2 had throughout the world.

Nothing during the course was boring or irrelevant and I enjoyed it very much.

Mike Menchise – Year 9

20th Century History has given me so much knowledge about the events of last century. I knew nothing about things like the lead up to WW1, Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations. I have learnt all about those things and much more, such as WW2, the Holocaust, Hitler’s rise to power and the amazing story of Oskar Schindler. I am glad I took this course in Year 9.

Jack Lang – Year 9

GEOGRAPHY LEVEL 6

In Geography this year I have learnt about Global Warming and the greenhouse gases that cause it, we have also learnt the impacts that it will have on the world and in particular the harsh effects it will have on the already delicate eco-system of Australia. We learnt about the lifeblood of Australia the Murray-Darling Basin and the impacts that it has on the lives of all Australians and the impacts that we have on it and what has to be done for it to be a healthy river system again. Our class learnt about the unique eco-systems of sand dunes and how the environment of the sand dunes changes quickly in between the different dunes. Our excursion to the Queenscliff sand dunes showed the class the life that grows in the sand dunes and the importance of their protection in saving the natural beauty of the beaches of Australia.

Adam McBride - Year 10

COMMERCE

“I learnt about different economies and how they work. I also learnt how lucky Australia is compared to other countries.”

- Hayden Ryan “I found going to the prison and talking to the prisoners interesting, and discussing how the system works and why they got there.”

- Tanner Redden

In commerce I have learnt how to make a budget with all your expenses and income. I have also learnt that there are more expenses than I was aware of.

LOTE “During our full day of Chinese school we observed an unwritten law in the school culture - complete silence in class when working.

Their work ethic was astounding.”

- Zachary Fitzgerald

Learning languages “gives you good insight into what’s happening in the world – if you learn about the language, you learn about the culture.” These are the words of a current Year 12 student. I can’t impress enough upon our school community the importance of learning a language if we want “to give Victorian students the best education and career opportunities” – words from a recent report from the Education Department.

To that end the LOTE staff and students have taken trips to China and Italy, have welcomed students from our sister schools of Milan, have studied about and eaten different foods particular to Italy and China, have participated in the ACER language tests and the Dante Alighieri Italian Poetry competitions.

Year 11 and 12 Italian students went to the Opera and Year 10 Italian students participated in an intensive three day LOTE camp.

Special congratulations to David Cann who gained 3rd prize in the Year 11 non-Italian section of the Italian Poetry competition – bravo!!! Congratulations also to Federico Crestale,Year 8 and Michael Monea, Year 9 and Andrew Romagnoli,Year 10 who received a High Distinction in the ACER Language tests.

Michael Connolly,Year 8 and Nicholas Powers,Year 9 study French at SHC and are to be congratulated on their excellent results – High Distinctions for both students.

Thanks must go to the LOTE staff for their efforts in promoting the value of learning a language in an environment which does not always value such learning.

CHINA TRIP 2010

The allocated space of hundred words or so, provides a seemingly diminutive area to impart, what will undoubtedly become life long memories of the China trip, 2010. Although whilst on the trip sublime vistas were constantly observed, it was the cultural contrasts that will be the indelible images in my mind.

The Terra Cotta Warriors

110

Our experience in Beijing Number Five Middle School provided considerable awareness of the vast contrasts between the Australian and Chinese education systems. School for them, was in essence a never ending competition between the teenagers of a 1.3 billion population. To succeed in the workplace, they had to succeed in school, thus had to work harder than everyone around them, who in turn had to work harder – the never-ending competition.

During our full day of Chinese school we observed an unwritten law in the school culture - complete silence in class when working. Their work ethic was astounding.

We were also lucky enough to visit Tibet. For Tibetans, religion was everything. It wasn’t a weekly occurrence where they would turn up for worship every Sunday. It was much more, it was their life.

As experience showed us, many would spend their whole day devoted to the Buddha, completing day long pilgrimages around Jakong temple, a building of immense religious significance. Buddhism was the fundamental element of their otherwise relatively simple lives.

Many other cultural differences were experienced, for example, the accepted act of spitting in public.

Mr Zhang highlighted that we initially saw this as disgusting. However, we grasped and implemented a concept beyond our years of accepting another culture’s diverse behaviours. We were able to refer to this behaviour of spitting in public which is typically not accepted in Australia as different and interesting by the end of our stay in China.

On behalf of all participants in the China Trip 2010, our gratitude is extended to Mr Zhang and Mr Taylor. Without their continual efforts before and during, the trip could and would not be have been so successful.

Zachary Fitzgerald - Year 10

Science In 2010 our Science department continued to integrate sustainable education, foster literacy and numeracy skills and introduce an inquiry based model into our curriculum. The inquiry based model focuses on involving students and leading them to understand concepts and hence reaching a goal. This model will continue to evolve into 2011 and beyond.

The Patch was introduced last year and continues to be an integral part in our framework for hands on practicum. This year the boys have added seven lovely hens (ISA Brown and Australorps crosses) into our small but influential habitat and have also been breeding worms which have been used to break down all our organic waste in the area.

Please visit our blog site www.thepatch.globastudent.org.au for updates and photos.

We continued our sustainable approach into our new technology unit for Year 9. The unit focused on using sustainable material to build a solar powered vehicle that will travel over specified distance using only the sun’s energy. In 2010 we also saw the introduction of Certificate 1 in Conservation and Land Management. The program was funded by Greening Australia and the hard work and continued commitment from Lyn Wilcock, Michelle Anderson and Leonie Hart has led to St Joseph’s College announcing Certificate 2 in Conservation and Land Management in 2011.

On 25 August, Grade 5 and 6 from Nazareth Primary School visited our College and participated in some Science activities. Students looked at macroinvertebrates through microscopes in the science labs. They sowed seeds in handmade paper pots at The Patch. The feedback from the students ensured we will continue to form partnerships with other primary schools in 2011.

This year student participated in a myriad of activities including our annual Tree Planting Day where the Year 7s planted over 800 trees with assistance from Greening Australia, Barwon Water, and Geelong Landcare Network and Corangamite

Water Watch. The Year 7s and Year 8s participated in the in school activities based on the Forensic Science unit called “A Case of Conspiracy” and CSIRO’s “Forensic Frenzy”. Other activities also included excursions to the Planetarium, Science Works and the return of Canberra Camp.

The F1 in schools program was an extra-curricular venture offered at the start of the year. The boys used the program Solid Works to design a F1 themed car that would run using carbon dioxide propulsion system. We have had unprecedented response to the program, and proved to be one of the College’s most successful activities held during lunch times. In Term 4 the department received funding which was used to purchase a CNC milling machine which is used to “cut” the F1 cars out of balsa wood. The milling machine is a tool which is now used in all Key Learning Areas of the school. The program’s success has led to the continuation of the lunch time extra-curricular program and a unit being developed for Year 8 in 2011 A big congratulation goes out Adrian D’Allesandro and Christopher Knight for being accepted into the National Youth Science Forum. Adrian and Christopher are two out of only 600 in Australia attending the much lauded forum held in Canberra and Perth in January 2011. The NYSF helps students moving into Year 12, who wish to follow careers in science, engineering and technology. It introduces them to research and researchers, encourages the achievement of excellence in all their undertakings, and helps to develop their communication and interpersonal skills.

“The F1 in schools program was an extracurricular venture offered at the start of the year. The boys used the program Solid Works to design a F1 themed car that would run using carbon dioxide propulsion system. We have had unprecedented response to the program, and proved to be one of the College’s most successful activities held during lunch times.”

BRIDGE BUILDING

On the 4 August, four of our Year 8 students travelled to Science Works to represent the College in the 2010 Aurecon Bridge Building Competition.

Earlier this semester the Year 8s had completed a bridge building unit in their science classes. This unit incorporated both the process of design and construction and allowed students to test their efforts and measure the amount of weight that their bridge could hold. Those who excelled within this unit were considered for the Aurecon Bridge Building Competition and in the end Scott Craven, Michael Khougaz, Tyler Watkins and Christopher Napper were selected to represent the college.

The students were restricted in both the materials they were allowed to use (balsa wood, araldite glue and string), as well as the amount of resources they could utilise. Although not the successors of the competition, the bridge Scott Craven, Michael Khougaz, Tyler Watkins and Christopher Napper built successfully held a fantastic 11.5kg coming in the top thirty of the state.

TREE PLANTING DAY

On 30 July,Year 7 students planted over 800 native grasses, shrubs and trees on the Shannon Ave Boundary of the School grounds for Planet Ark’s National Tree Day. Mrs Michelle Anderson coordinated the day and the Conservation and Land Management students helped facilitate the event. The results of this activity have surpassed last year’s effort of 350 trees, shrubs and grasses. The planting of these grasses, trees and shrubs has not only increased the aesthetic appeal of this part of the school, but will continue to provide habitat for local insects and birds and increase biodiversity in years to come. The students involved had the opportunity to get out of the classroom, get their hands dirty and personally contribute to ‘making a difference’ to the local environment. Students also participated in activities relating to biodiversity with Corangamite Water watch.

The plants were donated by Greening

CANBERRA TRIP 2010

This year 30 students and three teachers headed off to Canberra on a jam packed week full of fun and learning. The trip included visits to the National Gallery, Questacon, Parliament House, the National War Memorial, the High Court of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, the National Museum and much more. The trip aimed to allow students the chance to experience our capital first hand and to gain a greater appreciation for a wide variety of learning fields. The students ranged in year level from Year 8s to Year 10s and the experience allowed the students time to learn through experience rather than research or formal study.

The students and teachers all had a wonderful time and the experience will be well remembered by all who attended. A special thanks goes out to all those who helped to organise this trip, especially Maryann Anderson, Ashwin Pillai, Damian Harrington, Chris Conroy, Claire Connell, Linda Bentley and Paul Clohesy.

THE CANBERRA ROAD TRIP

Around 22 Year 8 boys travelled to Canberra for a science/humanities related trip for a week during August. We went to many different venues like the Australian Institute of Sport, National War Memorial, Questacon, (a big Scienceworks), National Museum and many other places. All of these places were great to visit for one reason or another. We all learnt many different things about Canberra and how it became Australia’s capital city. This was an optional trip and everyone who went thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you Ms Connell, Mr Conway, Mr Harrington and Mr Pillai for organising such a fantastic trip.

The Patch In The Patch this year Dehgi and I have planted and grown many things. We worked hard to ensure that what we have planted grows well. We need to be patient and let it grow so that it becomes as big and tasty as possible, instead of taking it out when it is still young.

We have learnt that we need to keep planning and planting to develop succession, so we always have something to take home and something else almost ready.

I have helped build the chicken coop by digging holes to put down the wire so the foxes don’t get into the chicken coop, and so that the chickens don’t escape.

I have enjoyed hanging out with my friends and learnt about how to look after chickens and worms and also how to grow nice vegetables.

- Lachlan

Some things we did wrong was to eat most of our spring onions before they were ready. We also never communicated early on, so what one of us planted the week before would end up un-knowingly being dug up. We have worked on telling the other partner what we have done or what we are doing so we can understand where everything is growing. This is how we develop team work.

We also have to watch out for the weeds which tend to pile up fairly easily, and after each of the holidays it was always packed with weeds which takes a full double period to get rid of. So there is still a lot of work to make our goals of having a smooth running garden but we are working slowly to that point and should reach it in the near coming future.

- Bradie This year I’ve learnt how to plant vegetables like carrots, beetroot and other vegetables, but one of the most important things I had learnt was that if you plant the seedlings too deep or too high in the soil they won’t grow then you will have to start again.

Also I have learnt how to look after chickens, how to hold them properly and also how to look after the worms so we can have great soil to put in our vegetable patch.

“I have learnt how to grow seeds, how to tame chickens, to water my plants and when’s the time to pull weeds out. I have enjoyed the chickens because they are cute and funny.”

- Darcy

Believe it or not this subject has taught me a lot and given me an interest in plants and vegetables. I’ve learnt how to do a number of things like how to harvest, how to plant, how to pick up a chicken, and how to calm a chicken when it turns crazy and a lot more.

- Ash

I have planted carrots, beetroot, lettuce, rocket, broad beans, silver beet and onion, capsicum and potatoes. The potatoes keep on coming back, even when Ash and I have dragged them out tons of times.

Boys and Food Technology classes go together like salt and pepper…bacon and eggs…strawberries and cream…fish and chips...bread and butter…

2010 Food Technology at St Joseph’s incorporated many combinations of foods, in a number of classes, for boys in a variety of year levels. Healthy foods combined with Food Technology students in all year levels, was the focus for the successful planning and production of many delicious meals. International foods combined with numerous styles of cuisines from around the world, providing new tastes and cooking techniques for Year 9 students to experience. Senior students combined advanced skills along with key foods in the production of highly impressive individual dishes throughout the year.

The Food Technology Department at St Joseph’s College was pleased to announce a first in 2010, with Jack Rayner’s (Year 11) design folio displayed in the Top Designs Season of Excellence at the Melbourne Museum. The exhibition is a showcase of VCE students’ work, from Units 3 and 4 with a high standard of work and creativity expressed in folios from Victorian secondary school students.

Congratulations to Jack on this amazing achievement and his outstanding folio titled “Fresh from the Farm – Made for Matilda’s”.

Food Technology students and staff combined in supporting various school activities, such as Edmund Rice Day, SJC 75th birthday lunch, Open Day Workshops, the Father’s Day breakfast along with Student Leaders Investiture and VCE Awards Ceremony morning teas. A big thank you to all of the hard working students who assisted staff on these occasions and their willingness to be involved.

Our Inter-house Cookery Competition for 2010 will be conducted in term four for Pathways students in years eight, nine and ten. The criteria for the annual cook-off is based on the successful production and presentation of two meal courses, in a team setting. The judges are

always encouraging, with the boys given positive feedback after witnessing their efforts in the kitchen, as well as awarding the overall winners on the day. Thank you to all students who applied for the positions, the final participants and our esteemed judges in this year’s competition.

Thank you to our Food Technology team, Julie McDonald, Suzanne Walsh and Maree Blomeley, for their valuable assistance and professionalism as always throughout the year. Happy cooking!

Design Technology Once again 2010 has seen a fine group of young men engage in the designing and fabricating processes.

The Introductory level students produced engaging products that investigated the design process and how a designer gathers the initial information to produce a client specific product. Pupils are introduced to folio development techniques and technical terms such as design brief, client profile and production sequences. Students at this level are introduced to a basic understanding and use of hand tools and materials.

The Intermediate and Advanced level students build on previous knowledge and develop a deeper understanding of the complexities pertaining to bespoke problem solving. Concepts such as ergonomics, safety and sustainability are more extensively considered.

The VCE pupils through the development of their design folios and products learn how to independently address a design and to produce individual, original and distinctive design solutions.

VCE pupils are required to work on a design problem as a member of a small design team.

This permits the students to expand their skills and abilities in the areas of communication, task allocation and team work. All important attributes when working as a member of a collaborative design unit.

In the past two years Jake Weeks and I have been studying Design & Technology (wood). We both selected the subject thinking it would be a great experience and that we would learn some important skills that we will need in the work place. We have learnt a variety of tools from the basic planer all the way up to a scroll saw and belt sander. Design Technology is not just making things, we also have to plan and design the projects that we are going make.

We must be able to draw our designs accurately using the drawing boards. Our teachers are always here for us whenever we need help and they always make sure that we are working in a safe work shop.

The past years have been so much fun and we would recommend this subject to anyone who is interested in building and using your head and hands. The subject is also great for anyone who just wants to do something different from just sitting in a class room and doing work off the board.

“The past years have been so much fun and we would recommend this subject to anyone who is interested in building and using your head and hands.�

Jake Weeks & Dean Zahra - Year 10

The boys have produced outstanding products this year and it has been fantastic to see their designs and models develop. The pupils have been given a great deal of support from Tom Trupkovic, Steve Catanzariti , Mark Hagebols and myself, a very big thanks goes out to all for their commitment, assistance, devotion and motivation this year. We look forward to another exciting, engaging and stimulating year in 2011.

Information Technology “Computer Bits and Bytes really was most enjoyable, informative, challenging but a whole lot of fun as well.”

- Mark Hyd “I have learnt a lot about CAD in the short amount of time using it, my skills have greatly increased and so has my confidence with the program.”

- Terry Gunning

This year, our students seemed to have focused on the more “technical” elements of Information Technology as was evident in the number of programming-oriented Pathways subjects chosen.

Some of our Year 9 boys recently visited the “Upload Your Future” ICT Expo at the Deakin University as a way of gaining a better understanding of ICT based careers. Our Systems Engineering, Automotive and CAD departments have worked hard to give their students the opportunity to produce some excellent outcomes.

George Tomadin - ICT/Technology Coordinator

CAD

CAD is a very useful class to be in. My skills have greatly increased and so has my confidence with using the program. In CAD we have been designing a major project; we were able to choose our topic. I chose to design a skyscraper but other people have designed helicopters and various other things. I also enjoy it because it is a class where you just let your imagination and creativity go.

Terry Gunning - 9G

DIGITAL STILLS AND ANIMATION

GAME DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Game Design and Development has been one of the far more student-controlled subjects, giving us a deep look into the world of game design as we take on the task of creating our very own gaming masterpiece. All the students play a vital role in their team’s final product and work hard towards making their game the best it can be. Plenty of painstaking work goes into the graphics, gameplay, storydevelopment and sound to make the final product a game to be proud of.

Connor Rawson - 10E

COMPUTER BITS AND BYTES

Computer Bits and Bytes included a high proportion of practical work. We had the opportunity to take apart computers. Once we’d discovered the critical components inside, all that was left, was to put it

116

all together again. The re-built computers were hooked up together on our own personal Local Area Network and we then got to compete against one another in LAN games. In the final task, we were able to ‘dissect’ computer components of our own choice - hard drive, CD drive, etc., and find out what ‘made them tick’.

Mark Hyd - 9A

This year we studied the different aspects and strategies of photography, and we had the chance to take photos using these strategies. We also used Adobe Photoshop to create our own edited images.

We then moved on to create animations using still photos. This is a fun and interesting subject and great for anyone who enjoys photography and working with computers and animations.

Josh Looker - 9D and Tim Sullivan - 9E

INTRODUCTION TO SOFTWARE AND PROGRAMMING

What we often don’t realise is the amount of work that goes into the computer programs that we use.

In this subject you learn to code programs in similar ways, but on a simple scale.You design programs such as simple calculators, hangman games and Noughts and Crosses, as well as researching the history of programming. The subject is good for learning and refining computer skills.

Christian Hayes - 9H

Systems Engineering Technology Once again the Unit 3 and 4 students have completed a challenging year in designing and engineering some form of electrical / mechanical machine. As usual there were a range of ideas, from a pneumatically operated invalid toilet seat through to a robot that solves the rubics cube. The boys have worked hard to complete their designs and on the whole they should be proud of their final product.

The Unit 1 and 2 students have been working on a walking robot and a programmable PICAXE robot.

They have been enthusiastic and interested in learning new skills and concepts related to both the mechanical and electronic fields of engineering.

Mr Michael Davies

THE PITS

In the subject “The Pits” we have been doing some work with building things out of metal. We made a small table which taught us the skills of using the tape, stock and die and cutting. We are also currently building a cam assembly out of steel as well. We also did some electronics for a few weeks to help us to understand the way electronics work with their components. We are also going driving down at Avalon Motor Sports Complex.

Jack Sandford - 10F

ROBOTICS IN ACTION

We have been making robots using Lego NXT and then programming them to do specific movements.

We followed a few basic designs and learnt how to program the robots. We have also learnt about the movement of robots and the different ways in which they can be used.

GENTLEMEN START YOUR ENGINES

Gentlemen Start your Engines is a great subject for people who like cars, electronics and metal work.

You get to make a key tag in the shape of a car just in time for father’s day.You also get to make your own electrical circuit and test different electrical components like Light Emitting Diodes and speakers.

You get to go driving in a real car, automatic and manual at Avalon Motorway. The two other favourite things you get to do are taking apart and putting back together a car engine and get to try out Go-Karting.

Student Support Services “Courage does not always roar.

Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow” – Anonymous

Our aim is to support and guide all students in reaching their potential, their future goals and to feel inclusive in our school environment. Educational Support Services continues to expand in the number of students and personnel. This year there were 44 students who received funding from the Catholic Education Office due to Literacy and Numeracy Special Learning Needs.

In 2011 it is anticipated that we will have 55 students attending the college.

We have a dedicated and very supportive team of educators: Mark Turner, Kylie Pretty, Josie Grasso, Carolyn Dodds, Leonie Hart, Ang Wilson, Lisa Maher, Kim Evans, Jenny Parrot and Claire Blomeley. Their role is to support staff contributing enormously to the students’ social, educational and academic needs gaining a sense of identity, achievement and worth.

The Educational Support Services help support students in numerous ways.

We: • Facilitate communication through parent/ student/staff Program Support Group meetings.

• Help students with learning difficulties to study and enhance skills for exams.

• Use assessment recommendations to identify strengths and weaknesses, and implement effective strategies and modifications of work requirements to improve students’ achievement and learning.

• Offer support within the classroom by means of individualised programming.

2010 has brought us many positive and productive changes, firstly, our office has moved to a larger area where students are once again welcomed during recess Year 9 Peer Support 2010

118

and lunchtimes to intermingle with other students from all year levels. The students feel comfortable and see the Educational Support area as their own; a place to work, converse with their peers and play games. Support and homework help is also available for students in free periods, recess and lunch times.

This year we have started a Life-skills program to enhance basic skills in Money Math (shopping), conversation skills and cooking. This has been a positive and productive activity for the students.

As in previous years we have also continued with the Horse-Riding Program, Breakfast Club; (a support class for students needing extra help in the literacy area), and support in the Ad Alta 10 alternative pathway.

Math Club is offered to students from all year levels at lunchtimes to receive assistance with homework and to help improve their Math skills.

Pathway years students needing educational support in Literacy and Numeracy can choose subjects; namely Foundation Mathematics, Foundation English or Applied Science (The Patch). These subject areas are more ‘hands on’ based with the focus on applied learning.

Many strategies are taught to develop students’ independence and academic achievements. These classes are smaller in numbers and have modified curriculums, focusing on small group activities, individual assistance, setting goals and monitoring progress.

It would be remiss of us to not mention the continued support of The Josephines. Our heartfelt thanks go to generosity of these wonderful ladies.

We look forward to the challenges of 2011.

Shave For A Cure

To Raise money for the Leukemia Foundation a large number of students and staff took part in Shave for a Cure, there were a lot of bald heads - accompanied by big smiles. Ms Sweeney put on a brave face and decided to let her long locks be attacked with both scissors and clippers, students erupted in loud cheers as she showed off her new hair style from the balcony in the Quad. Shave for a Cure is fast becoming a SJC tradition - lets hope we see even more support next year!

Movember

Students and staff again supported Movember to help make a difference in raising awareness about the fight against depression in men and prostate cancer. This year not only did we see some fine mo’s grown by some students, but had a great turn out at our inaugural ‘fake mo’ record gathering, we hope to set a guinness record next year with the most fake mo’s in one place. 119

VCAL “At first I had doubts about taking 18 Grade 3-6 students to museums but it turned out to be a very enjoyable day.

We learnt many things working together as a group and felt rewarded for our efforts with all the positive feedback and remarks from the kids and our teachers too!”

- Brandon Heinrich

The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) has been designed to meet the needs of young people who wish to pursue vocational training and /or employment. In 2010 The VCAL students organised and participated in a range of ‘hands on’ experiences such as: • Organising excursions with a number of local primary schools to various locations such as The Melbourne Zoo, The National Wool Museum, The MCG, Rug Rats, Bowling, The Bollards on The Geelong Waterfront.

• Taking some elderly citizens from Geelong Aged Care out for a fun filled day - the highlight being a boat cruise around Corio Bay! • Sausage sizzles at school to raise funds for projects and community groups • Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) placements covering a range of industries including Building and Construction (carpentry, plumbing, bricklaying, plastering, electrical, painting) Health and FitnessSport Recreation, ITC, Marketing, Retail, Hospitality, Automotive, Mechanical, Music and The Performing Arts.

This year again, our students conducted themselves extremely well when out and about working with outside organisations and employers. Feedback was very positive and praising - well done boys! Thanks for your cooperation and best wishes for your future schooling and careers.

Finally, I wish to thank The VCAL staff - Mr Peter Canaway, Mr Peter O’Connor, Mr Sandro Di Santo, Ms Catherine Farrell, Mrs Karen Shum and Mr Shane Dawson - for all their hard work, professionalism and dedication. I would also like to thank Ms Leah Irving and Mrs Anne Thomas for assisting many of the boys during the course of the year.

VCAL EXCURSION

On 19 August, Sam Colla, Kyle Irwin, James Smith and I took a group of 18 students from Anakie Primary School on an excursion to the Ford Discovery Centre, The National Wool Museum, Rollerway and

120

for a walk along the waterfront to see several of the Geelong Bollards. This was a very rewarding experience.The excursion was a part of the VCAL program that requires students to work in a group and organise an event involving the community.

We visited the school three times before the day of the excursion so we could familiarise ourselves with the children. Approaching the date of the excursion we had a lot of planning to do. We had to plan everything from organising the venue, working to a budget, writing letters, making phone calls, and even hiring the bus. The most difficult part of the day was the timing and scheduling of all the activities. Our main concern was, would we be able to fit everything in and make each appointment on time.

Thankfully, everything went exactly as planned - the timing was perfect and all the children loved it. At first I had doubts about taking 18 Grade 3-6 students to museums but it turned out to be a very enjoyable day. We learnt many things working together as a group and felt rewarded for our efforts with all the positive feedback and remarks from the kids and our teachers too!

GEELONG AGED CARE TRIP

My group and I completed an activity day with residents from Geelong Aged Care, and took them on a 40 minute cruise with Freedom Bay Cruises around Geelong’s bay.

Before we took the residents out on the cruise we had to first make contact with the two places and organise a time and date, we also had to make sure the weather was good.

A week before the cruise we visited the residents to explain what we were doing and got to know some that were joining us.

The residents really enjoyed the cruise and getting out on the water again while learning a bit of history about Geelong.

The People involved were Sam Chidgey, Mason Hudgell, Jeff Malapit, Henry Pollock and Joel Lucas.

Careers & VET In July, at the beginning of Term 3, I was welcomed into the St Joseph’s College community as the new Careers/VET Coordinator. This was a very busy time of the year with final preparations for Careers Week taking place, followed by subject selections, parent information nights, and many careers counseling appointments. It could be fair to say that I well and truly “hit the ground running”. My initial weeks at the College included many long hours. This time was well spent preparing myself for my new role as both the Careers Counsellor as well as the VET Coordinator.

It was a challenging time; however, what made my transition into this role easier, at such a busy time of the year for careers, was not only the strong support and assistance from the teaching and support staff at the school, but also the acceptance of the students who have impressed me with their manners and behaviour, as well as their goals and aspirations.

Thank you.

The pathways presented to students, have changed from what we as parents, and teachers, experienced during our school years. Students leaving school are faced with a dynamic and challenging environment.

Social and economic environments are constantly changing.

Career development is a lifelong process. It involves managing learning and work activities in order to live a productive and fulfilling life. The career development of students is both complex and unique. When exploring career options, students are presented with large amounts of information from many different sources and agencies. Students are expected to make important decisions about their futures, even though they may not be certain of the right choices to make. Should they undertake further tertiary education? Which course of study will be the right one? Should they pursue an apprenticeship or traineeship? Do they want to undertake a GAP year?

What happens if they change their mind?

at school. Each student’s preferred career pathway will be different, influenced by diverse personal characteristics, life experiences, abilities and interests.

The careers education program at St Joseph’s College has solid foundations. It is designed to deliver planned learning and activities that help students develop the attributes and skills that will allow them to make informed decisions about their study and/or work options, and to participate effectively in their community. Careers education is further complimented by additional opportunities and programs offered to students including Community Service as well as the ability to undertake Vocational Education and Training, in either the Victorian Certificate of Education or the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning.

The career education program at St Joseph’s College will continue to grow and evolve, to ensure the students are provided with an informed and realistic pathway, through their school years, and into higher education, training or work. I look forward to meeting many more upcoming students, and their parents and guardians. For those students leaving the school, I wish you the best of luck and also remind you that you are welcome to come back and visit the Careers Room, in the future, for further assistance and help, if required.

Combinations of pathways units and VET Certificates have enabled the Ad Alta 10 boys to establish community and industry links while developing skills and self confidence. The program endeavours to meet the students’ needs by increasing their options and re-engaging them in their education through a collaborative and flexible applied learning model.

The boys were given various opportunities to represent the College in the wider community and they did an outstanding job. Sam McKinnis and Zak Durand received recognitions of achievement for being spotlight operators at Geelong Performing Arts Centre for an EREA theatre production.

The four weeks of work experience enabled students to embark on practical placements in a range of industries; Hospitality, Retail, Event Management, Plumbing, Landscaping, Fitness, Building and Electrical.

Leah Irving Some student comments:

only celebrate our achievements, but also receive instruction on etiquette, and food and drink service.”

CONSERVATION AND LAND MANAGEMENT

Certificate I in Conservation and Land Management has been delivered at St Joseph’s for the first time this year, and has been a great success. A select group of Year 10 students have participated in a range of activities, with the support of Greening Australia, to make a difference to the natural environment both at school and in the wider community.

They have increased their knowledge of indigenous plants and learned a whole variety of new skills that can be applied in many workplaces, or at home in the garden. Every week, industry expert, Lyn Willcock from Greening Australia’s Moolapio project led the students in conservation and land management activities and experiences.

The students learned how to follow basic chemical safety rules, basic safety at work, how to carry out and apply a site risk assessments and the importance and use of personal protective equipment. These are skills and knowledge that will be transferred to any workplace. The CLM students have also learned new industry specific skills such as cleaning seed, weeding, planting, sowing trays of seed and various propagation techniques.

“It was good to be on a building site and actually use the skills I had been learning at TAFE”.

“At first I was nervous about ringing employers but by Term 3 I was really comfortable. I think I have definitely developed my confidence and communication skills.”

“This year has allowed me to explore lots of options.

I have decided to do VCE and VET IT next year. I love coming to school now because I have clear goals for the future.”

“We are looking forward to our end of year dinner at the Davidson Restaurant where we will not

The students visited the Moolapio site (Pt Henry) several times to practise these new skills in an authentic work environment. Activities have included weeding, nursery maintenance, seed collection, Boxthorn removal and planting 600 grasses and shrubs as part of Greening Australia’s May planting calendar. It has been great for these students to be involved in work that assists a not-for-profit organisation such as Greening Australia. Additional to this, these students planted native grasses along the Aphrasia Street fence line and organised and led the entire Year 7 students to plant 800 plants on National Tree Day.
