Dear Friends It is with much gratitude, pride and pleasure that I contribute these thoughts for your College Annual.

As a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, your College strives to educate and form our young in accord with the great Christian promises of happiness, freedom and fullness of life.

We want them to know how to love, how to be curious, how to contribute, how to transform their inner and external worlds, how to live honestly, thoughtfully and compassionately.

We want them to acquire the capacity to question, the knowledge of how to use their time on earth wisely, and the determination to leave the world a better place for them having been in it. We want them to learn to engage with the world on their own terms. We want them to learn to critique their culture and its version of what constitutes a good, a well lived, an important and a meaningful life.

We want the young to learn that the liberty they enjoy through the good fortune of their birth, is not license to do whatever they want. Rather, it is freedom to do what they must do for the making of a fairer and more just society. We want them to know that freedom and service are inextricably linked, and with privilege comes social responsibility. In a world of emerging walls and closing borders, we hope to free the young from narrowness and intolerance.

We want our students to be happy. We want them to learn, however, that happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Rather, it will emerge from the experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude; lives of decency, kindness and service and authenticity consistent with their inner moral compass.

As a Christian community, we hope that our young will find great inspiration and guidance from the experience of Jesus in the Gospels and respond to His invitation to a relationship with God and with neighbour dictated by compassion, love justice and inclusion.

On behalf of the entire Edmund Rice family around Australia, I congratulate you on your successes and efforts in 2017, as you strive so beautifully to offer the compassionate, inclusive, human face of God to all in your community.

With best wishes and much appreciation Dr Wayne Tinsey - Executive Director Edmund Rice Education Australia

Principal’s Report Welcome to the 2017 Virtus which will record the achievements of the College during another highly successful school year. At the outset I would like to record my gratitude to Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) for appointing me as Principal. I am also grateful to Paul Tobias and current leaders of the College for assisting my transition to the role. As a past parent and past staff member, returning to St Joseph’s felt like coming home in some ways and I’m very grateful to everyone who made me feel welcome this year.

In this report I don’t intend to try to list all the achievements of the year, but would like to make some observations and point out a few events of significance.The reader can discover all the activities and successes of the year in the remainder of the magazine.

The year commenced with 1738 students including 305 Year 7 students.We also welcomed new members of staff: teachers Quentin Lydall, Scott Harris, Greg Waller, Matt Walsh and Ben McDowell and support staff Tania Spence, Meg Wilson, Di Makings, Michelle Martin, Catherine Jones and Spencer Lupino. René Maltese, Kate McLaren, Coby Cunningham, Rebecca Westwood, Lauren Flint, Lauren Hall and Claire Connell returned from leave.

Early in Term 1 we celebrated the academic achievements of senior students with our Senior Awards Ceremony with guest speaker and former staff member, Paul Hood.

In December we received the results from the 2017 VCE students. 10% of students achieved study scores of 40 or above. 6.9% of our students received an ATAR of above 90.

The mean study score this year was 31.4, the same as in 2016. There were many results this year of which individual students should be proud because they represented the student’s best efforts. I would like to congratulate all those for whom this is the case.

Congratulations to Michael Bongiorno who is the 2017 Dux of the College having achieved an ATAR of 99.55 closely followed by Hugh McMahon with an ATAR of 99.45.

The Aspire program for Year 12 students seeking to maximise their ATAR score continued again this year, with regular lunchtime meetings attracting solid numbers.

The faith dimension of the College saw regular liturgies and

full school masses for significant events. For the last 17 years Fr Kevin Dillon has provided great support to the College celebrating many of these masses. It was fitting that his formal farewell to the Parish was held here at the College providing many from this community the chance to thank him for his contribution.

Following Mass on Edmund Rice Day, students and staff forgot our first world problems and focussed on the needs of communities in the developing world and the marginalised of our own community. The Edmund Rice charism is a particularly robust and practical take on Catholicism. This was seen throughout the year with every student involved in service learning. In this area the staff led by example with many staff committed to supporting Samaritan House, Vinnie’s outreach and other local community agencies. Our student renewals program took a different form for each year level but provided every student with the opportunity for reflection and engagement with their faith.

During 2017 the Royal Commission into institutional child sexual abuse continued to make findings public. EREA responded to these findings by making a formal apology for all abuse, including sexual abuse that had occurred in all our schools across Australia. This was an enormously significant event at most EREA schools. In our community this broad apology built on the public apology made by St Joseph’s to the Geelong community in 2001, and reinforced our commitment that such abuse must never be part of our story again.

Indigenous issues and education continued to be prominent.

Highlights included the opening of the Reconciliation Garden adjacent the bluestone Tom Howe Centre. Students immersed themselves in the communities at Daly River, the Tiwi Islands and Yeppoon as part of a practical commitment to reconciliation. Reconciliation Week was a highlight for those unable to be involved in immersions and we were delighted to welcome Indigenous elder Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr to St Joseph’s for this time.

Student well-being and pastoral care was to the fore throughout the year. The senior years well-being and information night in Term 1 was a highlight. Diversity Day was again significant with the College student body publicly committing to a strong stance against homophobic bullying and celebrating our acceptance of diversity. We were pleased to be accepted as a lead school in the Victorian government

Exhibition at Federation Square. The St Joseph’s 15 word Film Festival showcased some amazing talent.

St Joseph’s continues to be a leader in the field of sustainability.

The myriad of activities including the installation of a further 88 kW of solar panels, Cut the Wrap, redcycling, tree planting, and a talking bin resulted in sustainability leader Kelly Jenkins being recognised as the Resource Smart Victorian Teacher of the Year.

There were many sporting highlights throughout the year both inter-house and inter school, through the Associated Catholic Colleges competition. Foley triumphed with a clean sweep in the inter-house swimming, athletics, and crosscountry. In the ACC carnival events our swimming and athletic teams acquitted themselves well and represented the College proudly but the highlight of the year was our first ever carnival victory by our cross-country team winning the aggregate award. Having entered this association in 1996 this is the first carnival event St Joseph’s has won. A momentous achievement.

Good schools are deeply rooted in their communities and the level of community support at St Joseph’s is quite remarkable.

The Josephines, the College Foundation, the Parents and Friends, the Men’s Association are just some examples along with our myriad of volunteers in a range of areas including the canteen. Parents joined students many times at the College during the year. For me the Father’s Day breakfast was a highlight with staff cooking breakfast for boys and their dads and male mentors from 6am.This really made a powerful statement about the education of young men being a shared and collaborative undertaking between parents and teachers.

Another remarkable group that goes about its work quietly is the College Care Group. In a large community there are inevitably bereavements and people who need help in a very practical way. The Care Group provide food and practical support in times of greatest need. In mentioning bereavements, this year saw the death of many significant contributors to the community, among them Mrs Pat and Mr Owen Bourke, Anthony Costa, former Principal Br Kevin Tuck and long serving staff member Larry Davis. May they rest in peace.

The visit of past students is always a highlight and this year we welcomed back the classes of 1977, 82, 87, 92, 97, 2002, 07 and 12 for reunions. It was also a pleasure to welcome back old boys who had lived at St Joseph’s as boarders prior to the closure of the boarding house in 1967. We also hosted the St Augustine’s reunion on what the St Augustine’s old boys acknowledge as their spiritual home.

In the performing arts the annual joint College production was again a highlight with our boys starring in Pirates of Penzance, hosted this year by Sacred Heart College. On the visual arts front, the Mrs Pat Burke Art Gallery was utilised for the “Alumi” Exhibition, showcasing works by Old Collegians, this was also the site of the Year 12 Art and Technology Exhibition later in the year. Many high-quality pieces were exhibited at the Associated Catholic Colleges Arts and Technology

ACC A r

Our senior cricket team had a successful season narrowly defeated by De La Salle in the ACC Grand Final. Our Year 10 cricket team came up against St Joseph’s Ferntree Gully in the Grand Final resulting in St Joseph’s being the runners up for the second year in a row. Senior football and soccer teams reached finals without success and Year 10 soccer bowed out in the semifinals. Our Year 10 footballers were ACC Premiers and narrow runners-up to Xavier College in the inaugural Year 10 Herald Sun Shield.

Our musicians provided multiple performances of which to be proud. Some of the highlights included, participation in the Geelong ANZAC Parade, first place in the Secondary School Bands Competition at the Geelong Show and the outstanding performances on the evening of the Years 7-10 Awards and Music Showcase. The evening was a wonderful celebration not only of our students academic achievements, but also the musical talents of our students. There were many highlights including the Stage Band’s performance of Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk and Mark Taylor’s Brass Machine, the Vocal Ensemble singing Bryan Adams’ Everything I Do and People Get Ready and the Senior Band’s performance of Bach’s Toccata featuring the percussion team. Abba’s Thank You for the Music was a surprise inclusion to recognise and thank Frank De Rosso, John Shawcross and David Gallaher for their contribution to St Joseph’s over the years. The finale featured a performance of John Farnham’s You’re the Voice sung by all of our Year 7 students accompanied by our Intermediate and Senior Concert Bands and College Vocal Ensemble. The quality of the music on show was exceptional and a great credit to the musicians and their teachers.

Principal’s Report Debating and public speaking continues to have a strong presence in the College and along with the “thinking man’s sport” of chess achieved pleasing results in ACC and local competitions.

The student leadership was strong throughout the year with boys leading and planning multiple activities including the TriUMPH Music Festival which raised over $70,000 for initiatives in Timor Leste. I would like to acknowledge the leadership of College Captain Andrew McNeel and Deputies Michael Bongiorno and Liam Jelly.

The ongoing process of providing facilities that cater for increased numbers along with spaces that support contemporary teaching and learning was in full swing during the year. Significant happenings included the commencement of the Year 8 PBL Centre on the escarpment adjacent to the current Music Centre, the provision of additional parking adjacent to O’Driscoll Oval and planning for the gymnasium at Westcourt.

The College is blessed with a generous and talented Board who are supported by a committed building and finance committee. I’m grateful to all those who have supported the College in these significant roles, in particular I acknowledge the generous service of Mr Brett Harman who stepped down as Board Chair during the year due to work commitments and Mrs Joanne van Slagaren who generously accepted the role.

The end of every school year brings sadness as we farewell staff. Mrs Maureen Bryant has been PA to the Principal for the last 25 years. Maureen’s lasting contribution will be the focus on supporting all members of the community in times of need. Hundreds of families have been supported during times of sadness and need as a direct result of Maureen’s work.This commitment was acknowledged last year with the naming of the Maureen Bryant Board Room. She will be greatly missed and I would like to add my thanks to Maureen for her support

to me this year.

We also celebrate and acknowledge the contribution of other long serving staff who also retire after great service to the College: Frank DeRosso leaves us after 32 years outstanding contribution to our Music program, and is joined

by John Wilcox, 21 years, Anne Condon, 20 years, Rosemary Friend, 18 years, John Shawcross, 13 years and George Tomadin, 11 years. We thank and wish them well. Thank you and best wishes to those who are finishing at St Joseph’s and continuing their careers elsewhere: Andrew Hobbs, 18 years, Claire Wrigley 18 years, Jono Holt, 16 years, Jules Holt, 15 years, Michael Wrigley 15 years, Hannah Smith, 10 years, Christopher Jansen, 6 years, Annalee McKew, 6 years, Mark Stracey 4 years, Jason Coghill, 4 years, Melissa Nantsou, 3 years, Ingrid Marshall, 1 year, Kerrie Deller, 1 year, IT Trainee Nick Barbir and AFL Trainee Spencer Luppino.

In conclusion I would like to thank all staff for their support this year, in particular I thank the leadership team with whom I have worked most closely. Deputy Principals Michelle Brodrick and Mark Kennedy, Director of Identity Rachel Roche, Director of Curriculum Michael Goss, Westcourt Campus Director Michael Wrigley, Human Resources Manager Rolf Audrins, College Business Manager Terry Fowler and Personal Assistants, Maureen Bryant and Adel Mawson, all passionate and talented in their fields and providing exceptional service to St Joseph’s.

The year concluded with a range of events. Each year level gathered for a Mass to give thanks for the blessings of the year. For the first time the Year 12 valedictory dinner was held in GMHBA Stadium at Kardinia Park. The opportunity to see one’s Year 7 and Year 12 photos juxtaposed on the big screen was a highlight. The Year 7 to 10 Awards were presented at Costa Hall as part of the annual Awards and Music Showcase.

It has been another wonderful year in the life of this remarkable community. On behalf of the staff I thank all families for the privilege of assisting you in the education of your sons.

God bless - Tony Paatsch, Principal

College Board Report This year we farewelled our Board Chair, Mr Brett Harman.

Brett finished with the Board in June to take up a new and exciting role in Geneva. Brett was Board Chair for nearly four years and had been on the Board for six years (20122017). Brett was a terrific asset to the College and made a significant contribution to the Board. We wish Brett and his family well and thank him for his great contribution to St Joseph’s.

This year we welcomed our new Principal,Tony Paatsch. Tony is no stranger to the school having been Deputy Principal at St Joseph’s as well as having his son, Will, complete Year 12 in 2016. Tony has transitioned into the role of Principal effortlessly and we all look forward to working with him in the coming years.

The Board seminar was held at Deakin University in August.

We were fortunate to have Paul Williams, EREA Director of Regional Support – Southern Region, join us at the seminar.

Issues covered at the seminar included: Financial Plan, Masterplan, Respectful Relationships, Project Based Learning and Careers.

Sadly we will see Daniel Bucki-Smith finish as a Board member at the end of 2017 due to work commitments. Daniel has been a Board Member for four years and has been a great contributor to the work of the Board. We wish Daniel well and sincerely thank him, Gosia and their family for their generous support of St Joseph’s College.

In conclusion, I thank our Principal Tony Paatsch, Deputy Principals Michelle Brodrick and Mark Kennedy, Business Manager Terry Fowler, Assistants Maureen Bryant and Adel Mawson, College Leaders and fellow Board members for their willingness to make this College so successful in 2017.

Wishing everyone a successful and prosperous 2018.

- Joanne van Slageren, Board Chairperson

Bret t Fare Harman well ’s

As always, the seminar was a great opportunity for the Board to be briefed in more detail on major strategic issues. As a Board, we appreciated the work put in to the seminar by the Leadership Team and staff who attend.

In the last few months you will have noticed the next stage of our masterplan taking shape with work commencing on the Year 8 Project Based Learning Centre as well as the Queens Road carpark. The school continues to grow and flourish.

College Captain’s Report 2017 was a year of beginnings and endings.

The Year 7s began their journey at St Joseph’s College and did a great job transitioning into their new school.

The St Joseph’s College Community also started a new chapter as we welcomed Mr Tony Paatsch as the new Principal of St Joseph’s College. He has lead the school in what looks to be an exciting direction for the future as education is shaped by the demands of the 21st century.

The Year 12 Cohort completed the last phase of their secondary education and worked hard to prepare themselves for their end of year exams and life beyond.

In reflecting on my time as a St Joey’s boy, I have come to admire and appreciate the culture and the people that make up the College. As a younger student, I looked up to the people who had helped make the school great and when the opportunity came for me to give back through involvement in school leadership, I accepted it without hesitation.

The role of School Captain definitely opened my eyes to what it means to be a leader through service. It was incredible to see the impact that a group of compassionate young men could have, whether it be through manning the St Vinnie’s soup van, volunteering for refugee tutoring or by donating blood. It was in these moments that I felt we endorsed the values and actions we promote at St Joseph’s College.

Over the course of the year I was involved and helped in the organising and running of some significant student lead events: The Year 12 Winter Formal was organised in collaboration with College Captains from the four Catholic College’s in Geelong. It was a great night at the Geelong West Town Hall with over $4500 being raised with proceeds going to our two chosen charities - Parish Pantry, an organisation that provides food for the homeless and Wombats Wish, an organisation that provides support and counselling for children and families who have lost a parent.

The largest event on the school calendar was the fourth and most successful edition of the TriUMPH Music Festival with a remarkable $73,579 being raised as funds for the Caritas’ Womens’ Protection program. It was incredibly satisfying to see over 12 months’ worth of hard work and dedication from the TriUMPH Committee, pay off in the way it did to produce such a fantastic result. It was truly an awesome event to be a part of.

I feel my most meaningful service to the school has been highlighting the importance of Men’s Mental Health in our community.

6

This is a growing concern in our world today, and of particular importance to me as a student in an all-male environment.

We began ‘Thirsty Thursdays’ and ‘Fizzy Fridays’ to encourage conversation – to get the boys together and around each other to talk about mental health. The purpose was to recognise that it’s ‘ok’ to open up and relate to each other on tough days and to have developed the support network for the days that the answer to ‘R U OK?’ might be ‘no.’ We need to be there for each other through those times. I would love to see this continue on through the new Student Leadership team in 2018.

On behalf of the 2017 Student Leaders I would like to thank both Mr Lynch and Mrs Drever for their hard work and support in leading the team to achieve our vision as leaders who strive to make a positive impact on the College and greater community.

To Michael Bongiorno and Liam Jelley, the Deputy College Captains, it has been fantastic working with such fine men who epitomise the school’s values. Their ability to continually strive for the highest in all areas of schooling was a great demonstration of leading by example.

I would also like to thank the Year 12 Coordinator Mr Dan Hale, who was a pillar of support and guidance for the Year 12s to enable students to continually do their best. He was a vital link for the Class of 2017 and on behalf of the Year level I would like to thank Mr Hale for his incredible time and effort over the course of the year.

Finally, I would like to say that it has been an honour to be able to attend St Joseph’s College. The connections and relationships I have made with students, staff and everyone in the SJC community are ones I will cherish and remember forever.

It has been through the everyday conversations and interactions with the community of the school that I have come to realise how brilliant it is to be a part of St Joseph’s College Geelong.

My advice to any boy wondering how they can get the most from their time at St Joseph’s would be to live the values, immerse yourself in school life and take every opportunity to lead and to serve our community.

Once a Joey’s boy always a Joey’s boy. Ad Alta Virtute.

- Andrew McNeel, College Captain 2017

Building Works In light of the recent growth and anticipated future growth in student enrolment, the College has commenced construction of a Project Based Learning Centre at the Edmund Rice Campus. The building will be located on the Aphrasia Street frontage and will be constructed over three levels. This project will involve a fit out on two levels only at this stage with the ground floor level to be fitted out at a later date.

The new building will house nine general purpose classrooms.

These classrooms will be able to be opened to create double size classrooms with an area for breakout enabling students to work in teams on projects. The centre will also house two science classrooms, two music classrooms, an extension to the existing band room, storage for musical instruments, two staff offices, meeting rooms and an opened area for collaboration. Construction commenced in September 2017 and is due for completion in July 2018.

The College has also engaged architects to prepare preliminary sketch designs for a new gymnasium building to be constructed at the Year 9 Westcourt Campus.

Construction of this new building is planned to commence following completion of the Project Based Learning Centre and will be ready in time for the start of the 2020 school year.

It is proposed that the building will house a single indoor basketball court, amenities and circuit gym room.

The College is also investigating a proposal to extend the existing Peter Cannon Performing Arts Centre (PAC).

As it presently stands the PAC can seat some 250 people.

The current capacity is considered insufficient for many uses that the College requires of a performing arts centre, especially given the total number of students at each year

level is approximately 300 and this number will increase to 336 students for the Year 7 intake in 2018. The proposed extension will increase capacity to some 360 people allowing for a full year level of students with teaching staff to be accommodated.

During the year the College completed the purchase of Joseph’s Lane land from the City of Greater Geelong. This land dissected existing College owned property and the purchase was viewed as important from a long term strategic viewpoint.

The College continues its program of upgrading existing classrooms with new furniture and painting. During the year a further 13 classrooms were upgraded to provide an improved learning environment.

In the advent of increasing electricity costs the College reexamined the economics of installing additional solar panels.

It was determined that the payback was relatively short and thus proceeded to have an 88 kW solar power system installed at the Edmund Rice Campus. The College now has a total installed capacity of 100kW solar power system which supports the Colleges sustainability initiatives and will provide ongoing financial benefits for a many years.

The shortage of off-street parking around the College has resulted in the commencement of construction of a new carpark in Queens Road (opposite Russell Zampattii Oval). The carpark will provide parking for 42 vehicles and will relieve congested parking around the streets in close proximity to the Edmund Rice Campus.

Heritage Centre Many of you may not know that St Joseph’s College originally opened in 1890. Brother Canice Butler, the Superior of St Augustine’s Orphanage, had been accepting boys for boarding, who it was thought would benefit from the discipline of the Christian Brothers. In order to accommodate the increasing requests to provide more accomodation for boarders, Brother Butler purchased additional property bordering Aphrasia Street, and in 1889 construction of St Joseph’s College began. The College opened on March 16 1890, with 43 boarders enrolling that year. By June 1891 there were 57 boarders and 30 day boys.When St Patrick’s College in Ballarat opened in 1893, many of St Joseph’s College boarders were encouraged to enrol there. St Joseph’s College closed in January 1893 as a result.

In 1935, as the Great Depression was ending and Geelong was struggling to return to prosperity, St Joseph’s College reopened. Between 1935 and January 1939 the College shared the site with St Augustine’s Orphanage. The Orphanage occupied the bluestone building on Queens Road and the new St Joseph’s was housed in the original St Joseph’s building facing Aphrasia Street. When St Augustines’s moved to Highton in Janauary 1939, the Orphanage building became part of St Joseph’s College, which allowed the College to proceed with plans to enrol boarders. In September 1939, renovations of the Orphanage building began and by 1940 the College was once again open to boarders. That first year saw an initial intake of 22 boarders, this number increasing to 27 by the years end. In 1950 there were 150 boarders at the College and a house on Aphrasia Street was purchased to accommodate the senior boarders. The new house was named Butler House after Brother Butler.

There were boarders at the College for the next 27 years.

In 1967, the last year of boarders at the College, there were 90 boarders enrolled. The decision to close the boarding house was made, because it was felt that the College had a responsibility to provide more positons for local boys.

2017 is the 50th Anniversary since the Boarding section of the College closed, and many of the Boarders returned, to reconnect with old friends and see how the passage of time had changed their College.

One such change began late last year when renovations on the Heritage Centre, on Shannon Avenue, were undertaken; transforming the Centre both on a cosmetic and conservation level. The original footprint of the building

went unchanged; instead works focused on bringing the Old Newtown Library’s facilities up to date. The façade of the Heritage Centre underwent a complete transformation with the original timber windows being replaced with double glazing with College branding being displayed on the canopy, to clearly tie it to the school. Internally the display space has been expanded with the removal of the airlock; the original 1953 kitchen and toilet facilites have been updated, with the new bathroom allowing for wheelchair access.

Further to this, the preservation capabilities of the Heritage Centre were improved, the installation of airconditioning means that the records, artifacts and ephemera held in the Centre are held in conditions optimal for their preservation.

Furthermore, it greatly improved working conditions, previous tempretures in the building fluctuated from 10 degrees in winter to 30 plus in summer.

St Joseph’s College is extremely privileged to have such an outstanding Heritage Centre. Recording and documenting our history is only part of capturing the past. Dates and events record what happened in the past but it is the cultural happenings around these events that shape our heritage and our future. Heritage is the cultural memory attached to those occurances and the impact those events have on the shaping of a place and a culture. It is important to actively record history and preserve the artifacts, ephemera and documents.

It is through the recording of history and preservation of heritage that we can learn from our past and the impact it has had on our world.

The Heritage Centre is open all day on Tuesday and visitors are always welcome, drop in and look at the displays and ask about relatives who may have attended St Joseph’s. Also when you are in Reception make sure you check out the Heritage Display Cabinets.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported me and the Centre over the past year, especially Old Collegian Terry Phillips, Kathleen Rawson and Lisa Brown; much is accomplised because of their input.

I would also like to thank everyone who has donated artifacts, documents and photographs and allowed me to make copies of photographs, it is because of your generosity that the Heritage Centre will continue be a custodian of the history and heritage of St Joseph’s.

Foundation Report After participating in a comprehensive strategic review, The Foundation will focus on the long term financial growth of the College, and facilitate community involvement well after students exit.

This year we were proud to be associated with the first official social function of the “Past Staff Association” held on 28 May. Well attended, past staff were led on a tour of both campuses by our College leaders, taking part in a Liturgy and renewing friendships over lunch.

Additionally, we had the first get together of the St Joseph’s Boarders who had their reunion in the first week of August.

Some hadn’t seen each other for 60 years and hailed it a great success. We hope to further foster and develop groups such as the above, so our members keep a close and lasting bond with our great College.

After it’s commencement in November 2016, The McNeill Society is expanding at a rapid rate. We established this entity to recognise and honour those that have committed a Pledge of Support the College into the future in the form of a donation or by remembering the College in their Will.

The Society is named after John McNeill (SJC 1935-1937), a Foundation Student during the first three years of the College’s existence. In 1942, sadly, he was the first St Joseph’s boy to be killed in action. (Aged 23) One of the highest accolades our College nominates is the McNeill Cup, presented each year to a student showing excellence in all areas of College life.

We welcome Mrs Julie Cole, who has been appointed as our Fundraising and Alumni Coordinator. Julie’s previous role as Registrar at the College, has allowed her to develop a great rapport with our College community. She is a highly motivated person and brings great skills to this role.

Once again, we reached out to the broader Geelong Community through our $10,000 Sponsorship of the Upstart Entrepreneurial Challenge competition; an innovation that

we can proudly say commenced within our hallowed walls. It involves over 35 schools and participating students.

This year we say goodbye to three fantastic committee members.Tracey Simic and Paul Treloar have given the College outstanding voluntary service since 2010. Chris Holien has been an integral part of the Foundation Management Committee for 17 years, including the position of Vice Chair.

The St Joseph’s College Foundation acknowledges their fantastic contribution and wish them all the best into the future.

It is with a heavy heart, I acknowledge the passing of Foundation member Tony Costa, who had a huge influence in getting our College Foundation up and running. He stood as a giant of a man in more ways than we can express. Our best wishes go out to Tony’s wife, Elaine and the family.

More recently, we pass on our deepest sympathies to the family of Mr Larry Davis; a former teacher of the College, who passed away in October. There will be many within our community who will have their own special memories of this fine man.

With student enrolments well over 1700, including 1400 families, it is incumbent upon the Foundation and our other College Volunteer groups to work towards the betterment of our fantastic community.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank those within our community, including our sponsors, who generously contributed to this year’s Annual Giving Campaign and invested in a vision for the future of our students. The Foundation will again look forward to financially supporting the College in 2018 to ensure its initiatives can deliver the best educational outcome for our boys.

Best wishes to all, - Peter Rudd, Chairman, St Joseph’s College Foundation

Josephines The Josephines’ Group was formed to help our past mothers and staff of the College to stay connected, and have an official forum where they come together and renew friendships, at the same time give ongoing support to educationally vulnerable St Joseph’s students. The way St Joseph’s College cares for students through their Educational Support Program is a testament to the Founder of the Christian Brothers, Edmund Rice, who cared for the most vulnerable in Ireland through education. Our Josephines give all money raised from our two functions, Autumn Dinner and Spring Lunch, to this Support Program so that whilst having these wonderful friendly gatherings we are helping in this small way.

overview of his hard working faculty and the large number of students who receive help, before introducing our guest speaker Johanna Evertsen-Mostert, grandmother of past student, Tobias, who forged a deep connection with our Educational Support Staff. Whilst his story is an extremely difficult one, Tobias was able to attend St Joseph’s College and remain engaged in education for a number of years through a bursary generously provided by an Old Collegian.

This amazing grandmother bared her soul and continues to help young Tobias through his troubled times. Joh was overwhelmed with the tremendous support given to her and Tobias by St Joseph’s College.

We gathered in March for a wonderful dinner at Truffleduck with 100 guests attending, including a number of current mothers which helped make this a vibrant atmosphere. Tony Paatsch, our new Principal welcomed everyone and spoke briefly before introducing Sarah Gore, acting Educational Support Coordinator who gave an update of the faculty and the many boys they are assisting. Our guest speaker was Michael McMahon, parent of Angus who has muscular dystrophy. Michael spoke of Angus’ journey and the support he was given throughout, that enabled him to successfully complete Year 12. Angus is currently studying Criminology at Deakin University. This was an uplifting story of a beautiful family who truly appreciated all that St Joseph’s is able to provide for young boys.

This year our funds raised were able to provide the latest literacy and learning resources including ‘voice to text programs’. Also at both gatherings we held a raffle to raise funds for the Paul Tobias Needs Based Scholarship. Prizes were generously donated by 63 Degrees and Sheila Mansfield.

As highlighted by Tobias’ story, education plays a critical role in helping students who are marginalised through circumstances they have no control over. This continues the great work done by our founder, Blessed Edmund Rice, here in our SJC community.

Our October lunch was held at 360Q in Queenscliff, on a warm sunny day. We travelled by bus with the ladies chatting all the way. The venue was stunning, overlooking the marina with 72 guests enjoying a splendid lunch. Michelle Brodrick – Deputy Principal, spoke in Tony’s absence and thanked all present for their ongoing support of the College. Michelle introduced Julie Cole – Fundraising and Alumni Coordinator in the Foundation Office. Julie informed all present of her new role and how important it is that past parents, staff and friends continue to feel connected to St Joseph’s College.

Mark Turner - Educational Support Coordinator gave a brief

Parents & Friends 2017 has been a fabulous year for the St Joseph’s Parents and Friends. We would like to say a big thank you to our outgoing Co-Presidents Jackie Richards and Terri Stawyskyj. They have led the P&F Association for many years and through their leadership roles, contributed so much time and effort coordinating many events. Thank you for such a wonderful commitment to our school.

On that note we have welcomed so many new faces to the P&F meetings, sub committees and events we have held this year. As mentioned in our speech to the new parents at the start of the year, everyone in the St Joseph’s College community is already a member of the P&F so it has been great to see all of these people come along.

We started the year with a very successful Mother’s Day raffle for a Thermomix with funds from this being used for the bursary fund. We had a fun filled night exercising our grey matter at our Trivia Night which contributed funds to a fantastic science timeline mural which now brightens up what was a previously ordinary walkway in the science block.

P&F also hosted our Old Collegians’ reunions, catering to our past students as they caught up and reminisced with their former classmates. In September P&F alongside the VCAL boys hosted a very popular BBQ at the TriUMPH Music Festival at Clonard this year, the weather was not quite what we had hoped for on the day but it certainly didn’t affect the

students’ appetites.

Each year the P&F, as a gift to the Year 12 students, offers them the opportunity to do a basic CPR course, this was once again taken up by many students. Certainly a valuable gift but one that we hope they won’t have the need to use.

We also contributed funds towards SJC Mental Health Week and were able to help fund the screenings of the ‘Screenagers’ movie to students and parents. Many agree this is an important and timely subject.

And what would our P&F year be without the highlight of the social calendar, the annual Fashion Dinner for Mannya. This fantastic fundraising event was held at the newly refurbished President’s Room at GMHBA Stadium. It was a fabulous night and raised a record breaking $30,000 for Mannya.

All in all it has been a very busy year for the P & F but it is all thanks to the amazing support we have from our members, our staff support team this year Kristen, Adele and Lauren and also the support from our academic staff. But mostly the amazing combined efforts of everyone in our school community and the wider community of generous businesses and individuals who have supported with donations of goods, services and funds, use of equipment and expertise and hands on labour force. This is a fantastic effort from everyone. So thank you.

- Michelle Watkins & Sandra Higgins, Parents & Friends Co-Presidents

Old Collegians’ Association The Old Collegians’ Association now has over 200 new members as we extend a warm welcome to the Class of 2017 who join the SJOCA.

The pre 70’s reunion was held in the Paul Tobias Centre in Mid-July with about 50 attending. This was a great day and included a visit to the Heritage Centre in Shannon Ave. This was another wonderful opportunity to highlight the many changes that have happened at the College in recent years.

At this year’s AGM the following committee was elected: Justin O’Brien - President

For the first time this year we held a reunion for the Boarding students. In 1967 the decision was made to close the boarding house at St Joseph’s due to large population growth in Geelong. The boarding rooms and houses were then converted to become extra facilites and learning areas for students at the College.

Sam Hopgood - Senior Vice President Robert Hennessey - Junior Vice President Sam O’Dwyer - Treasurer Nick Jahnecke - Administrative Officer

On Friday 4 August, the College welcomed back over 30 past students who were Boarders here at St Joseph’s. It has been 50 years since the boarding house closed at SJC, and for some guests it has been even longer since they visited the school.

General Committee Members - Joe Virgona, Rhys Hegyesi, Ben Kenworthy, Greg Thompson and Tony Honner.

On Sunday 30 April the Annual St Joseph’s College Old Collegians’ Golf Day was held at 13th Beach Golf Links Barwon Heads. Just under 200 players took part in an Ambrose-style team competition. Both courses were once again in pristine condition. The fantastic conditions certainly made for great scores with two teams having 15 Under off the stick.

Guests were given the opportunity to tour the College with some of our current student leaders, there were many comments on the changes that have occurred in particular the removal of the handball courts (a Boarder’s favourite) and the College pool.

There were some wonderful stories being shared of experiences and antics in the boarding days both during the tour and afterwards in the College Boardroom. Thank you to all those who attended, there were some guests who travelled a significant distance to get there, (one as far away as Darwin!) It was a great day of memories and stories of the past. All were amazed of the growth and the development of the school.

Many thanks to David Bowles and Associated Cold Tread Tyres for being our major sponsor. It was great to see so many new players as we continue to try and grow the golf day.

The Annual Golf Day is a major fundraiser for our Old Collegians’ Association with all money raised generously going towards the St Joseph’s College Bursary Fund.

Many thanks to all of the players and sponsors of the Golf Day who helped raise over $14,000 on the day.

The Remembrance Mass for deceased Old Collegians, Staff and Benefactors was held in November in the College Chapel.

Fr Peter Foley celebrated the Mass with us. During this Mass the deceased were remembered and afterwards those in attendance enjoyed afternoon tea in the College staffroom.

Beach Winning Team the team from Costa Asset Management of Todd Devine, Stuart Costa, David Costa, Justin Haneysee and Paul Tonkin

As in past years we have donated $20,000 to school bursaries which assist families in need by providing the opportunity to send their boy to St Joseph’s College.

Creek Winning Team Jake Maxwell, Nathan Maxwell, Jake Mongelli, Loren Bunting and Ricky Norton The Annual Reunion held at the College in May had over 200 Old Collegians attend. The night is always filled with great memories and laughs from times past. The night started with a tour of the College and many past students commented on the development of the school facilities.

Thank you to all committee members for their dedicated commitment to the Association and to St Joseph’s.

Men’s Association & Care Group MEN’S ASSOCIATION As the year draws to an end, I find myself singing the praises of the Men’s Association again and all the work they perform at the College, rain, hail or shine.

Attendance by all four teams has been strong with an average of nine fathers presenting on Sunday mornings to assistme with whatever tasks presented to them. On eight occasions we have had eleven or more attend which allows us to address many areas around the College.

This year we have been able to perform the following: • Install and relocate lockers around the Year 7 area • Perform assembly and exam step ups in the gym • Clean up the gym after College functions • General cleaning around the College especially stairwells and lockers • Clean, dry and air wet equipment used for TriUMPH • Wash the College waste/ comingled bins including the Bokashi (composting)bins • Wash the College mini buses • Clean out drains and gutters One of the primary tasks of the Men’s Association is staying on top of the mowing and weeding allocated to us by the College groundsman, Travis Smith. Travis especially enjoys allocating the steep embankments for our attention and these areas are usually attacked with the usual complaints, but are soon transformed to lovely trimmed embankments.

After two hours of hard work we enjoy a BBQ cooked by the budding “master chefs” in our team and a couple of beers. This is the perfect time for keeping the dads informed of developments around the College, such as proposed construction works, new carparks and sporting success. Most dads have expressed that this time is the best part of the once a month gathering.

CARE GROUP Our Care Group was formed to assist families during times of crisis (eg. illness, bereavement or special circumstances).

Each year this group has done wonderful work supporting those in our community when they are most in need. The last thing parents need to worry about is food, when they are under stress and strain caring for family members who are seriously ill or struggling to cope with extremely difficult circumstances. This year has been a very sad year for many families in our College community with a number of parents and staff suffering illness and bereavements. We have been able to assist many families, some ongoing throughout the year, with approximately 115 meals supplied. The families we have helped are most appreciative of the support the College offers through this group. A number of these families have received ongoing support to ensure there is a meal for their family as they cope with complex and long term illness.

We sincerely thank our wonderful band of volunteer cooks and helpers who have generously prepared and provided many meals for others throughout 2017. Without all of these meals and all of your hard work, we would not be able to offer this support to our families, so to ALL involved THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. We would like to acknowledge the work of our coordinators Veronica van Galen and Linda Doherty. This year we welcomed Linda as a co-coordinator and like Veronica she has been a wonderful addition to our Care Group Team. As the year comes to an end, we would like to acknowledge their contribution. Both ladies have been a fantastic support to us here at the College in overseeing the running of our Care Group. Thank you so much.

We take this opportunity to wish all our families good health, love and happiness and look forward to your ongoing support again in 2018.

- Adel Mawson & Maureen Bryant, SJC Care Group & Principal’s Personal Assistants.

Studen ts cookin get busy g mea ls!

I would like to thank all active members who have assisted in keeping the College in such great condition over the last year and especially the Team Captains Des Nolan, (Team One) current President, Rohan Crowe, (Team Two) Danny Sheedy, (Team Three) and David Cogan (Team Four).

Year 7 Year 7 students this year have been involved in a variety of activities and have been most enthusiastic about joining in many of the activities. The biggest challenge for year 7 students is getting to know other students in their year level.

School activities allow students the opportunity to build relationships with other boys and their teachers. I would like to congratulate the boys on the start they have made at St Joseph’s and wish them all the best for the next part of their journey. A BIG thank-you goes to the wonderful Homeroom teachers at Year 7 who consistently went above and beyond to ensure their students had a successful year.

- Claire Wrigley, Year 7 Coordinator The boys in Year 7 share below some of their reflections.

YEAR 7 CAMP 2017 Lake Dewar Lodge was the highlight of Year 7. It was full of amazing activities that ranged from bike riding, adventure tunnelling, Amazing Race, water sports, geocaching, gorge walk, survivor skills and raft building. We learnt many skills that will stay with us forever like learning how to make a camp fire, making damper, tea and building rafts. What would a camp be without thrills and spills? Things like the flying fox and bike ride were among the adrenalin filled activities, although the flying fox was the safest, it was the scariest and most fun of all. The bike ride was one of the highlights because of the amazing scenery and we saw some kangaroos.

- Jack Cambridge, 7H It was the best camp ever. The Amazing Race was fun. My favourite activity was the massive stand up paddle board.

Everyone had to go on it and my team had 15 people. We did it and it was so much fun! - James Hili, 7I I really enjoyed the mountain bike ride because they had great quality bikes, there were some stunning views and the ride was really challenging. - Joe Argus, 7I Tunnelling was super fun and a great team building exercise. We had to work hard to find buckets of water, crawl and think while working together to get to the end.

- Jackson Owens, 7I The flying fox was fun. We had two turns. It was even more fun the second time when I went upside down.

- James Hetherington, 7I I had a great time on camp. It was filled with lots of fun

14

activities. When we did the Amazing Race with lots of tasks to complete, my team came first overall. The food was really good, we had spaghetti one night, roast chicken the next and hamburgers with salad for lunch on the last day.

- Charlie O’Neill, 7I CYBER CATS EXCURSION Our day started with Cyber Cats coordinators named Keith and Lauren who outlined the day and ran a session on our digital footprint. They kindly gave us Geelong Cats drink bottle and showed us the Geelong Gallery which had many of Geelong’s most prized posessions such as Patrick Dangerfield’s first game jersey as a Cat, Harry Taylor’s locker and a Brownlow Medal!

We participated in an activity on cyber safety and a quick test on our knowledge on the topic. We had a visit from community liaison police officer Robbie. Robbie told us about how important cyber safety is and he told us of some consequences if we were not safe online. Robbie also explained the laws around online crime. Identity comes first then Course of Conduct, and then physical and mental harming. He told us that if we committed all three of these and we were over the age of ten, there are serious consequences.

After the talk with Robbie we had to make an i-movie on what we learnt.We also had the opportunity to have a question and answer session with Geelong footballers Jake Kolodjashnij and Jackson Thurlow.This was great as they spoke about their experience with social media and the importance of safety online. - Patrick Fitzgerald, 7C BEACH DAY Early this school year, Year 7 Homerooms went down to a beach in Torquay called Bancoora Beach. The day was full of fun and activities. Taking turns with another class, we had a session learning to surf which was a fresh and great experience and playing sand games such as soccer, bucket filling, kicking the footy and many more. Many kids had not surfed before and had lots of fun trying for the first time. I think that when we were down there we got to know each other better and build stronger friendships. Overall, it was a very fun day that involved many enjoyable activities that helped in building stronger connections with the new friends we had made. I thank all the teachers especially Mrs Wrigley for organising this experience and it is one I won’t forget.

Year 8 This year the Year 8s have had the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in school life and experience a variety of challenges as they conclude their journey through the junior school. A strong focus of their second year has been to enhance their ability to take responsibility for their own learning and develop their collaborative and problem solving skills. It has been a joy to watch the boys mature this year and succeed with both their studies, and their interpersonal relationships.They have been ably supported by an outstanding team of Homeroom teachers, who at all times have had the interests and well-being of the students at the forefront of their minds. My sincere thanks go to them.

Next year will see a new set of challenges placed before the outgoing Year 8 students, and I am sure they are now fully equipped to cope with the unique demands and rigours of the Westcourt Campus. The boys are clearly looking forward to the experience, and I have no doubt they will thrive in their new environment. - Brendan Reed, Year 8 Coordinator PIRATES OF PENZANCE The 2017 Sacred Heart Tri-School production of ‘Pirates of Penzance’, was a real crowd pleaser. There were many Year 8 boys involved in the show, whether working backstage or acting, singing and dancing in the spotlight. The noted Noah Conroy performed outstandingly in his role of Samuel A. Eight other Year 8 boys actively participated in this extracurricular activity, spread across all the ensembles and in the crew, (leads, pirates, police, choir, backstage). The exhilarating experience allowed the boys to express themselves through the Performing Arts, and to entertain others. The experience also offered boys the chance to meet new people and make new friends. Year 8 boys also had the opportunity to make new friendships with students from the other two nearby Geelong Catholic Colleges, (Sacred Heart and Clonard). All in all, the Year 8 boys had a terrific time, and enjoyed the sheer thrill of the show. - Elliot Senftleben, 8H MCG TOUR The MCG tour was a real stand-out, not only of activities week but also Year 8. It was really interesting learning about all of Australia’s sporting achievements and history. First, we walked through the sport museum. I found this entertaining because of the amount of history that was on AFL and how the game has evolved from what it was. One part of the museum that was fun was the interactive Game-On section.

We got to test a group of different sports, like football,

cycling and netball. On the tour we got to walk through the Long Room and learn about its history. Another stand-out of the MCG tour was walking along the ground and past the benches. We walked through the MCC members stand and learnt about the MCG’s history, as well as the history of the statues out around the ground. All in all, it was a great day. Patrick White, 8E ACTIVITIES WEEK Activities week was a highlight of the year for most of the Year 8s. We all got to experience what no other year had. There was a bike ride down at the new bike track, rock climbing and Supatramp, a day at Westcourt to scout it out and a trip to the MCG for a tour.

On the first day, the group was split into two - one group went rock-climbing, the other for a bike ride. It was unlucky for everyone that it was a 10-degree day - a bit cold on the hands. Once 12 O’clock hit everyone was back to the Quad for a well-deserved lunch and straight off to Supatramp for the rest of the day.

Day two and we were off to Westcourt to learn a bit about the Holocaust from survivors. We then did a meditation in the new Chapel to finish off the day.

On the third day, after the hour long trip over the Westgate finally we arrived at the “G”. The statues outside were mesmerizing and allowed us to look back on some legends of the game. We also saw some of the things they had accomplished in the MCG museum and got a talk from holographic Shane Warne. We took a break before getting a tour of the Long Room, field and stands. We then headed back home on the bus. Overall the whole week was great and will be fun for all other years going. - Conor Silo, 8K DEBATING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING This year, Year 8s at St Joseph’s were able to participate in Debating and Public Speaking competitions. These included the ACC Public Speaking and Debating Competitions, the DAV Debating and Public Speaking Competitions, and the UN Youth’s Voice competition. Year 8s were able to compete against other schools in a structured and fun manner. At these events we improved our oratory skills. It was also a great learning opportunity - a chance to build a repertoire of speeches for Public Speaking, and a chance to learn concepts in Debating such as a ‘Team Split’. It is great socially and mentally, and means that you often go to other schools for competitions. - Finnegan Murray, 8H

Year 9 2017 at Westcourt has been a year full of camaraderie, adventure and experiences I didn’t think you could have while attending school. Opportunities to extend yourself, academically, socially, physically and emotionally were all available for those who were happy to challenge themselves.

A highlight for Year 9 is always the camps and all the boys had the opportunity to experience the beauty that Australia has to offer with either a trip to Central Australia or more locally to the Grampians.This year’s camp period also overlapped with the Victorian Young leaders to China Program which saw 13 boys spend six weeks immersed in Chinese culture and study, the memories that these immersions created will never be forgotten.

Project Based Learning was cemented into Westcourt this year for the first time. By doing PBL we learn how to collaborate as a collective and learn vital skills needed in the workplace.

We explored topics such as Action4passion, Different places Aussie faces, Who rules at Westcourt? The ability to look further into a topic with a group allowed us to be more critical, analytical, and curious about events that affect our lives.

On the sporting and cultural front,Westcourt has helped enhance the College standing in all areas. Participating in cross county, swimming, football, cricket, chess, public speaking, debating and many of the boys also participated in multiple band and musical events.There were many great individual achievements from Year 9 boys who also made Victorian and Australian representative sides in their respective sports.

A year at Westcourt is an opportunity not to be missed. Being part of the Rite Journey has created a space to allow our transition from boyhood to manhood to take place safely with the guidance of our teachers. It’s been the foundation to move forward into the senior years, taking with us the great friendships and support that we’ve made along the way.

- Freddie Dripps, Campus Captain CENTRAL AUSTRALIA An annual tradition at Westcourt is Year 9 camp, and this year there were two options. We had the opportunity to choose between The Grampians or Central Australia. Obviously, the better choice was Central Australia! With a 4:30am wake up, students were on the road to Clare, South Australia by 6:30am.

After sleeping in shaggy tents, we begun the bus trip to Coober Pedy to explore the opal mines and to sleep underground.

The tour headed into NT where we then made our way to Yulara for a bike ride around Uluru and to watch the sun set right next to the famous rock. The next day, we went to Kings Canyon to hike through the rocky terrain under the scorching sun (word of advice - wear a hat!) Central Australia was an amazing experience and I highly recommend the trip to anyone.

- Austin Lofts, 9C JUST THINK During Term 3 a couple of students from each Year 9 Homeroom had the opportunity to participate in the Just Think program run by the Geelong Cats at Kardinia Park. The Just Think program

28

promotes safe drinking habits and aims to educate adolescents to “Just think” before problems escalate. The day involved healthy choices around drinking and highlighted the consequences of alcohol related incidents.

We learned about all these different topics in fun hands on activities; like wearing beer goggles which gave us the vison of an intoxicated person while having to handball into a target and gave a real sense of the effects it does have on your judgement.

We also had two Cats players, Cam Guthrie and Timm House give us a good insight of what it’s like playing AFL football and how alcohol effects their performance. At the conclusion of the excursion, we were lucky enough to be a part of the Barwon Child, Youth and Family Street Surfer Bus launch which was pretty cool.

- Gennaro Bove, 9C THE AMAZING RACE During Term 3 all the 12 Homerooms travelled to Melbourne to complete a challenge around the CBD. The race started at the Shrine of Remembrance where we had to do four activities and then take photos. Once finished at the Shrine, we had to head into the CBD and try and finish the booklets that were given to us in RITE journey class. My group consisted of Gennaro, Xavier and Harvey and as a group we were extremely fast at getting all of the challenges completed.

Most groups that could navigate well finished around lunch time which then allowed us to do some shopping for ourselves or for our stomachs.The Amazing Race was definitely a day to remember as it was filled with thrills, excitement, competiveness - it was just a great day. - Connor Sayers, 9C YEPPOON IMMERSION Throughout Year 9 there are many opportunities, one of these being the Yeppoon immersion. I was fortunate enough to go on the trip (with 11 other boys), to the Central coast of Queensland for a week. The trip was an unbelievable experience where we were able to immerse ourselves in a different environment compared to back home. The trip began with a rather early morning, to say the least at 5am.

In Yeppoon, we stayed in a boarding house at another EREA school, St Brendan’s College.Whilst there we enjoyed many activities; clay target shooting (a new experience for most), a trip to a crocodile farm, watching a rodeo, watching a school rugby final, going into town, a day in classes where we were able to get an insight into the school life of the students at St Brendan’s, and a nights stay at the incredible Great Keppel Island.

The island was like a tropical oasis. It was definitely a highlight.

Whilst there we paddle boarded, snorkeled, bush walked, swam in crystal clear water and ate the best food ever! I think all the boys will agree with me when I say the trip was a once in a lifetime experience that we took so much away from. The trip is truly a great cultural and fun trip. We all had such a great time and I can’t recommend the trip enough to the upcoming boys.

Year 10 The focus for Term 1 was to welcome back and ‘transition’ the boys from Westcourt into the Senior School. Term 2 was all about this ‘exploration’ with students participating in work experience and really starting to consider what they might like to do post-secondary school. ‘Consolidation’ was the theme for Term 3 with boys cementing their pathways through the subject selection process. To finish off the year in Term 4 it was time to ‘step up’ as the students demonstrate that they are ready to become part of the Senior School and leaders of our community.

2017 has been a busy and fruitful year, some of our cohort have reflected on some of the shared experiences from the year below.

- Simon Piasente, Year 10 Coordinator YEAR 10 SOCIAL Again, the Year 10 social was a night to remember, with over 500 students descending upon Club Italia for one of the highlights of our 4th year of secondary schooling. The tri-school event, also attended by Sacred Heart College and Clonard College, was filled with many laughs and many, many terrible dance moves.

The boys made a seldom seen effort to dress to the semi-formal dress code and match the girl’s very high expectations. Michael Gulli, one of our Year 12 students, DJ’d the event, and again proved his talent in the art form. The night was a huge success with approximately $1000.00 being raised. The Year 10 leaders decided that our share of the profits would be donated to the Miriam Rose Foundation. The foundation, based in Daly River, works to educate and empower indigenous youth in their local community. Huge thanks goes to all the teachers who supervised on the night;the event would not have happened without your help.

- Charlie Roache, 10L ACC SOCCER With a strong squad of 28 boys we were keen to represent the College in the race for the 2017 ACC premiership. The season was a roller-coaster of ups and downs but it was definitely the best opportunity the boys and I have had all year. We can’t wait to represent the College at senior level next season. On behalf of everyone in the squad, I’d like to thank Mr Trupkovic and Mr Newton for giving us the opportunity to represent the College.

- Zac Tucak,10B ACC FOOTBALL The 2017 ACC football season was a very successful one for the St Joseph’s Year 10 side. A year filled with triumphant victories, ACC premierships, hectic bus rides and a heart breaking loss, 2017 was certainly an unforgettable year for Year 10 football. The eager squad of 40 boys were each able to play their part throughout the ACC and Herald Sun shield seasons to achieve some memorable moments and fantastic victories. An undefeated ACC season was capped off with an emphatic victory in the Grand Final against St Bede’s. For the first time in Year 10 football history, the Herald Sun Shield was introduced to the best schools from each competition.This gave the boys a great opportunity to build on their success from the ACC season and be the first team carved into the Year 10

Herald Sun Shield. After making it through the semi-final stage, Xavier College proved too good for us as they ran out 14-point winners in the final. Special mentions to Josh Sorgiovanni who took home the team best and fairest. Congratulations also to Darcy Chirgwin who slotted 34 goals for the season, a record for number of goals kicked in a season for St Joseph’s.

- Jesse Clark, 10H PUBLIC SPEAKING AND DEBATING To have confidence is to be empowered. To be empowered is to be able to empower others. The value and importance of debating and public speaking cannot be underestimated in the world we live in today and as someone who less than twelve months ago would shudder at the thought of an upcoming oral presentation, the value of this skill has been made all the more evident to me.

Being on the debating team was the perfect prerequisite for stepping up to participate in the Plain English Speaking Award.

This award is open to all students in the nation from Years 10-12 and is open topic leaving students to deliver a six minute speech on anything they feel passionate about. Kobi Pelletier (Year 12) and I were lucky enough to compete in the regional finals at Geelong Grammar.

After receiving first place at the regional final I was ecstatic to be heading to the state finals in Melbourne. Presenting my speech in Melbourne proved a lot more challenging than back in Geelong. A much larger crowd was present and for the first time I was subject to political differences in the room. Despite being unsuccessful at the state final I wouldn’t hesitate to get involved again next year.

Public speaking and debating has been enormously beneficial to my sense of self-pride. I would like to encourage all students who struggle presenting to a class as I have in the past, to take every opportunity to speak up whether it’s in group tasks, participating in the school productions or applying for leadership positions at school. Challenge yourself, surprise yourself and tell yourself, ‘you can!’ because it’s true! - Riley Eggleton 10D THE ARTS - PERFORMING Opportunities in performing arts for 2017 included the Annual Tri-College Musical with Sacred Heart and Clonard. This year the production was Pirates of Penzance with Year 10 students contributing to the ensemble and orchestra. “Ed Stock Battle of the Bands” was once again a feature of Edmund Rice Day with Year 10 comedy rock band System Critical receiving second place. The music department held the annual Semester 2 concert with a selection of music inspired by iconic British Rock group the Beatles which was a huge success. Victorian Schools Music Festival was held in Hawthorn with Year 10 representatives in the Senior Band. Year 10 students also got behind the 4th annual Fifteen Words Film Festival with Ethan Near taking out First Prize with his film “Boxed”. It was another great year of contributions to all aspects of performing arts.

Year 11 On many occasions I have been impressed with this group of young men. Year 11 was a major step-up for all students. As the year progressed so did the cohort’s approach to their studies, maturity and integrity.

To those students who have already completed their community service hours, your passion and commitment towards helping those in our local community is as credit to you all, well done!

Congratulations to the newly elected 2018 College Captains Jurrin Romanis, Roko Gudasic and Sam Walsh, who were chosen by their peers and staff. The College has complete assurance that they will serve the College Community with confidence and compassion.

We farewell the students leaving us at the end of the 2017 school year to go into employment. Good luck and best wishes to all. To those returning for their final year in 2018 enjoy a restful break, in preparation for a busy, sometimes stressful but highly memorable final year.

- Cassie Gleeson, Year 11 Coordinator EAST TIMOR IMMERSION In June of this year, I had the chance to travel to Timor-Leste with five other St Joseph’s students and staff member Mark Stracey. It was an excellent opportunity to experience what life is like for people outside Australia, and to gain a perspective on how fortunate we were to be born in a wealthy country.

The poverty of Timor-Leste was both jarring and humbling, and has driven many of the boys who travelled over to commit themselves further to both the Timor-Leste and Geelong communities. It has opened our world views beyond the gates of St Joseph’s and into a country full of lessons to learn.

- Ned De Grandi, 11A SENIOR SOCCER It was a great year for our senior soccer team, despite unfortunately being eliminated in the semi-final.There were a lot of changes in the team, with many new faces from both Year 11 & 12 representing the College for 2017. All of the Year 11s showed great character, in particular Matthew Stosic, Carlin McCloskey, John Serra and Daniel Gudasic. The outgoing Year 12s showed great leadership on and off the field, with players Chris Jurkovic, Michael Gulle and Hugh McMahon (Team Captain) leading the way for the season. Two players, Matthew Stosic (Year 11) & Hugh McMahon (Year 12) were formally recognised for their exceptional efforts and match performances and were selected into the ACC Soccer Team of the Year. Next year there will be many newer faces, but we believe we can go that one step further and win the Grand Final. - Jamie Noggler, 11H FIRST XVIII FOOTBALL TEAM Throughout the 2017 season the team had plenty of high points but also some low points. We had a talented side and

we were all excited to start. In Round 1 we welcomed the new SJC Ferntree Gully into the competition with a thumping 98 point win at home. In the next round we again had a convincing victory over De La Salle by 79 points, starting our season in a great manner. Our third game was cancelled due to all venues in Geelong being closed due to the rain fall. We took home our first loss when we travelled to Whitefriars College, where we were outclassed losing by 63 points. One highlight of the year was against St Bede’s College in round 5 when we had three big inclusions, Bayley Cockerill, David Handley and Matt Ling.

This game was a battle until the end, however we solidified a positive team win. We ended the season 4-2 and finished 4th on the ladder, earning ourselves a finals position. Unfortunately, we couldn’t quite get the job done in our first final, going down in the last quarter to St Bede’s College. An immense thank you to all staff who supported the team all season. Now we look forward to an even more successful 2018 season.

- Doyle Madigan ACTIVITIES WEEK Activities Week was held in the first week of May. For the Year 11s, the week consisted of a range of community service and wellbeing activities. These included off Campus visits to public and private community institutions such as Dog Rocks Flora and Fauna Sanctuary, Diversitat, Geelong Animal Welfare Society, Samaritan House and a variety of other primary schools, aged care facilities and non-for-profit organisations.

At the College, homeroom groups also participated in Elevate, healthy relationships, drug education, mental health and study skills presentations, with an overall focus in educating us on life skills, study skills and stress management. It was an engaging and informative week in which we were able to learn about ourselves and others in our community. - Jake McCorkell, 11J YEAR 11 LEADERSHIP TEAM This year many Year 11 boys nominated to serve as an SJC leader, some for the first time. Many of my fellow leaders participated in multiple events and functions across a whole array of fields and subjects. Participating in the 15 Words Film Festival, Social Justice days in Melbourne and at the College, Reconciliation Week, leadership workshops, College assemblies, community service and much more. From this, we gained something that is invaluable - experience. We talked to people we thought we would never come across, we were given opportunities we would ordinarily not be given and as a team we took on further responsibilities that generally would’ve been avoided. We worked together and supported each other in our initiatives.

We learnt much about ourselves and I can firmly say on behalf of my fellow Year 11 leaders that we are all looking forward to continuing the hard work next year and embracing the future challenges we will face together. - Jurrin Romanis

Year 12 Year 12 marks the end of a chapter. 13 years of schooling has culminated in these fine young men finishing.

At the start of this year, I challenged the group to believe, to invest and to pursue. To believe in themselves and their goals, to invest time toward their goals, and to pursue these goals with determination and persistence.

Throughout the year they have gained momentum and it is with great pleasure to see their progress and development, not only at students, but more importantly, as young men.

The biggest strength this group has is their solidarity. I have not come across a group that is so supportive and encouraging.

There have been triumphs and celebrations, but there has been many stories of struggle and turmoil. Through these times, the staff and I have noticed the strength of mateship and camaraderie within the group. I have been so impressed and blessed to see this year level stick together and support each other through these difficult and challenging times.

These friendships will last forever.

One of the biggest factors that has bonded this group together is the fantastic leaders. From the arts and media, to the sporting field, public debating, music and everything in between, this year level oozes leadership. From my perspective, the leaders have supported and assisted me in my role, and I thank them for this. To Andrew, Liam and Michael – congratulations on being three unique, hardworking and compassionate leaders. You have led by example and served your year level and school community proud. Initiatives like

48

the Lifeskills seminar, Friday Fizzies, TriUMPH, RUOK Soccer Game and the Winter Formal are examples of where these men have stood up and delivered.

As a community we thank all the Year 12 students. We thank you for your efforts and contributions you have made to St Joseph’s.You will always be welcome back, and we proudly call each one of you, Joey’s boys.

- Dan Hale, Year 12 Coordinator QUOTES FROM THE YEAR LEVEL: ‘You guys have made this journey what it is and I can look back on my time with only fondness because of all of you.’ ‘ The best 6 years of my life’ ‘Listen with your eyes…..and your ears’ ‘I’ve had a great time, great mates and great teachers who have all helped me develop as a person’ ‘I have made so many friends through my school Journey and will always remember the great memories we have had’ ‘The culture at St Joseph’s is great and really gives a new perspective on life’ ‘Plenty of good times at St Joseph’s, made many good mates that I will stay with for life’ ‘The school has helped shape my maturity, and the person I am today’

Mission & Religious Education 2017 started with the opening of the Indigenous Garden, a project that began in 2012 with the then Year 10 Pathway students. The genesis of the garden was when St Joseph’s was awarded a $15,000 grant through the NAB School’s First program. The focus of the grant was to support a partnership between St Joseph’s College and the Wathaurong Co-operative. As part of this partnership we had the late Uncle David Tournier, Education and Language Officer and a community elder, speak to the students about local plants and their uses. Uncle David passed away in January this year and was recognised at the opening ceremony for the contributions he made to our school community.

The Indigenous Garden is a focal point for all visitors and students as they enter our school and so too were the 14 stations of the cross for our Easter Liturgy. The stations of the cross highlight the suffering and death of Jesus and those who witnessed his crucifixion. Each station has a theme, which forms a reflection. The Easter liturgy had the school community reflecting upon each station in the form of a question such as “Who do we condemn in society?” to the final question at Station 14 “Where is their hope in your life?”

This reflective theme continued when Dr. Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr Baumann visited our Geelong community during Reconciliation Week. Miriam spoke to over 300 educators from the Geelong region about Dadirri, which is an inner, deep listening and quiet; still awareness. Dadirri recognises the deep spring that is inside us and Miriam emphasised the importance of water, its connection to the Nauiyu community and its similarities to the Sacrament of Baptism.

- Vicki Mills, Religious Education Coordinator ATSI This year we have 28 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students here at St Joseph’s. We have been lucky enough to participate in many activities including lunchtime meetings, the Watta Watnanda Day at Richmond Football Club and the ATSI family BBQ with Sacred Heart, St Ignatius and Clonard Colleges. Our ATSI captains this year were Kaelan Morrison and Jurrin Romanis, who enthusiastically took on the role of representing ATSI students and culture at the school.

The Reconciliation Week theme for this year was “Let’sTake the Next Steps”, celebrating 50 years since the 1967 referendum and 25 years since the Mabo Decision. To celebrate we started the week with a Reconciliation Assembly with guest speaker

Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr Baumann and performances by the ATSI students and teachers John Stephensen and Imogen Brough. Other activities during the week included didgeridoo lessons, a quiz competition, the Recognise and Close the Gap Campaigns, the Long Walk to the G with Michael Long, and the Reconciliation Cup Football match at St Bernard’s.

This year was the first time that St Joseph’s has participated in the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) program in connection with Deakin University. AIME have been working with Indigenous students for the past 13 years, helping to close the educational gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians by connecting students with university mentors and helping them understand their history and story. In 2016, 94.1% of AIME mentees completed Year 12 compared to 61.5% of Indigenous students who did not participate in the AIME program. Here at St Joseph’s we thought this would be a great opportunity for our students!

ATSI students go out to Deakin a few times a year for whole day programs including mentoring training for Year 9 and 10 students, and individual tutoring for Year 11 and 12s.

- Louisa Biviano ATSI Coordinator My first time at the AIME program was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I made friends with others and found the activities were great,very intriguing and fun. I hope I can go back there next year. My favourite part was at the last session when we were listening to the very talented people playing the guitar and other instruments.They definitely kept us full with lots of delicious food and let us play on the Deakin basketball courts and the soccer field. - Jared O’Neill-Wood, Year 7 Being a part of the ATSI group is fantastic! We all may be different ages and year levels however all the boys are supportive of each other, and we always know if we need somebody, we can always rely on each other and have fun.

It’s always exciting when we get together for functions or meetings as when we get together we always have a good time. - Jurrin Romanis, Year 11, ATSI Captain 2017 YEAR 10 RE CURRICULUM One of the highlights this year was a visit from three presenters of Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths, who delivered a 60-minute workshop to our Year 10 students and their teachers.This launched our Term 3 World Religions unit.

The session challenged some of the typical stereotypes young

Mission & Religious Education young people may hold, as well as demonstrating friendship and respect between people of different faiths and cultures.

The presentation included a comparison of different faith traditions, focusing on the commonalities and differences that aren’t always evident, a sharing of the presenters’ personal life experiences, beliefs and common values, and a linking of issues of diversity and faith to belonging and community identity. The sessions finished with a Q and A session. The boys can access information about other faith traditions via their on-line text – To Know, Worship & Love or over the internet but nothing has more of an impact than putting a face to these traditions.

- Vicki Mills, Religious Education Coordinator LITURGY As a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice Tradition our school calendar reflects the many occasions we gather to celebrate as a faith filled Eucharistic community. These liturgies nurture and encourage the spiritual growth of each person through reflection, prayer, symbols, sacred stories, rituals and sacraments. As our school grows so does our need to find ways we can create sacred spaces for these to take place.

This year we wish to highlight an example of our school community expressing compassion, innovation and integrity through the following story that the long standing van Mourik family requested be shared in this year’s Virtus.

In the years following the second World War, many Europeans migrated to Australia to build new lives. Many established themselves in Geelong and subsequently sought an education for their children at St Joseph’s College and Sacred Heart College.

Amongst them were Peter and Graddy van Mourik. After arriving in Geelong, they established a cabinet making and joinery business in Little Ryrie St. Peter became well known as an outstanding craftsman of fine furniture and billiard tables. Peter designed and built the altar and accompanying furniture for the Lumen Christi Catholic Church in Leopold.

This very same furniture was donated to the St Joseph’s College Edmund Rice Campus Chapel in August 2016 by the van Mourik family and will be a lasting memory of thier

contribution not only to the community of Geelong, but also St Joseph’s College.

Peter and Graddy van Mourik were the parents of ten Old Collegians. From St Joseph’s College: Robert (1970), Frank (1971), Greg (1973), Michael (1980) and Peter (1989). From Sacred Heart College: Judy (1977), Maryann (1978), Carin (1982), Marcella (1984) and Leonie (1986).

They were also Grandparents to Old Collegians of St Joseph’s College: Andrew Boseley (2010), Lachlan and James Boseley (2015) and Jenna Boseley (2012) Sacred Heart College.

Just as St Joseph provided for his family through his trade as a carpenter, this ongoing memorial also acknowledges the contributions of all parents, who through their own God given talents supported and educated their children at St Joseph’s and Sacred Heart Colleges.

Sincere thanks go to the van Mourik family for enabling us to meet together as a whole school community to celebrate Mass and appreciate the fine the craftsmanship of the altar furniture designed by Peter.

RENEWALS The Renewal program at St Joseph’s College provides students with the opportunity to form stronger relationships with their peers and teachers as well as the opportunity to recharge, refresh, and renew themselves. Earlier this year we had the privilege of a visit from Miriam Rose who shared with us her words of wisdom with us, “The contemplative way of dadirri spreads over our whole life. It renews us and brings us peace. It makes us feel whole again…”

- Miriam Rose.

We aim to challenge the boys to encounter themselves at a deeper level and to explore their sense of God through the renewal experiences. St Joseph’s College has a six-year renewal program that aims to nourish both the spiritual and personal growth of each student. This occurs through a variety of experiences which take the boys away from the daily routine of school, into an environment that challenges and invites reflection to deepen their understanding of self and their relationship with God.

Community Service The enthusiasm with which St Joseph’s boys answer the call to step up and help those in need within our local and wider communities never ceases to amaze me. Whether it be covering the paper routes for an elderly lady so she can meet her husband’s medical costs whilst she recovered from a leg injury, tin shaking at intersections for Barwon Health or escorting groups around the Humans in Geelong Expo, I am never short of volunteers.

There are always new community service opportunities for the students to get involved with and this year St Joseph’s have come on board with We All Rotate, an organisation founded by Steve and Nat Beatty trying to eradicate the stigma and social injustices surrounding menstruation. In some areas of remote Nepal, communities are still practicing an ancient tradition where menstruating women are forced to live outside in kennel-like huts and they are not permitted to interact with others. They are vulnerable to predators – animal and human – and use old, dirty pieces of clothing or corn husks as sanitary wear, leading to infection and death. We All Rotate provide these women with ‘dignity packs’ containing reusable sanitary wear as a way of initiating conversations around good hygiene practices. Whilst we might not be able to sew, we can certainly cut the fabric that is used to make these sanitary pads – our count for 2017 is 6500 pieces cut!

Our other, more established projects such as the breakfast program, refugee tutoring, refugee holiday program, Bloodbank, Outreach Van and Samaritan House are still going strong and only survive thanks to the support and commitment of both students and staff. Special events, like the Winter Sleep Out and Vinnies Winter Appeal, help students understand the plight of social issues like homelessness and the fundraising efforts of the Year 7 and 8 participants – amounting to just over $3000 – went towards the purchase of supplies for the Outreach Van. All Year 10 students have continued to participate in visits to aged care facilities around the Geelong region with their Religion class; this one hour visit often becomes a highlight for the residents, who always look forward to spending time with “the young ones”. Watching how the boys’ manner and interaction with the residents changes from their first to subsequent visits, I believe it is an invaluable experience for our students also.

One of the things I hope our students come to realise from their participation in community service is that they really do have the power to make a difference in their world: locally, nationally and globally.

Immersions St Joseph’s College continues to develop a strong connection with the First People of Australia through the different Indigenous immersions and exchanges the students can participate in annually. Fifteen Year 11 students and three staff members travelled up to the Tiwi Islands during Activities week. They spent time with the students at Xavier College in Bathurst Island and participated in Community Service activities in Darwin.

- Rachel Roche, Director of Identity Fourteen Year 10 students went to Daly River (Nauiyu Nambiyu) with one of the highlights being: The simple things in life. Sitting around on Miriam’s porch hearing her stories, listening to the Dreamtime stories Agnes shared, kicking the footy with the local boys and the pleasure to do nothing. No pressure to be anywhere and having all the time to get there. – Finn Dripps The Timor Leste Immersion occurred for the second year with Mr Stracey recalling the experience below: The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

- Saint Augustine Australia’s closest neighbour, Timor Leste, is a country that few Australians know about. For six of our Year 11 students Ethan Gray, Ben Paulden, Tyler Bryan, Ned De Grandi, Harry Yates and Nathan Mifsud - that gap has closed considerably.

They had the good fortune to travel to Viqueque, 180 kilometres south east of the capital, Dili, to live and work with locals during their school holiday period.

Accompanied by Mr Stracey and former Joey’s alumni, James Palmer, the boys had the unique privilege of working in schools and the local orphanage. Challenged with the task of teaching English to Portuguese and Tetum speakers, these young men did a remarkable job of developing fun and engaging activities

Timor Imm

ersion

for their classroom. Equally impressive was the way in which the boys learned Tetum so that they could communicate better with their new friends.

The boys also had the extraordinary chance to live and work in a local orphanage, where they played countless games of cards, soccer and basketball, and helped the children with their homework.

Their immersion into life in Timor Leste included eating with locals, attending Mass, playing soccer and basketball with local kids and hearing the stories of the people they met.

The opportunity to learn about the Timorese resistance movement under Indonesian occupation included hikes into the mountains to visit rebel sites. Additionally, they had the privilege of learning more about Australia’s response during World War Two to the Japanese occupation which is a neglected part of our shared history.

They learned much about the troubled times under Portuguese colonialism and were shocked to discover the dark times under Indonesian occupation, where it is estimated that 1 in 5 people died between 1975 and 1979.

Visits to the Resistance Museum, the notorious Chega Prison and the Santa Cruz cemetery - site of the 1991 massacre were sobering reminders that the struggle for independence was hard won.

But for all the challenges, perhaps the most striking thing was the optimism of the Timorese people. Their generosity, positivity and willingness to improve their lives was nothing short of inspiring.We have all been touched by the experience and we are keen to ensure that these newfound relationships continue into the future. Timor Leste is a beautiful country with beautiful people and we all have an obligation to ensure our neighbour can thrive.

Daly River Immersion

Kokoda Have you ever witnessed sweat pouring down your face before 6am? What about waking up at 5am for 10 days straight? And what about living in a confined tent in the middle of nowhere for a week and a half? Well I have, and let me tell you about it: In the dark jungles of Papua New Guinea, lies a track, and not just any track, but the most famous and most treacherous track in the world. For kilometres this beast goes up and down, and if you do not yet know what I’m talking about.

After one word you might; Kokoda.

The word challenge is perceived as something hard or limit restraining, and what I want you to know, is that the Kokoda track oversteps both those definitions for it is a physical and mental test. Now, what is the Kokoda significance you may ask? How about I tell you and you will know for yourself.

In 1942 during the second World War, Japanese soldiers led a fleet to the northern coast of Papua New Guinea with the attempt to gain the nation’s capital; Port Moresby, for Moresby was the opportune advantage the Japanese needed to gain a northern access to Australia to then start taking over what we call home.

10,000 Japanese soldiers against 1500 Australian soldiers.

These Aussie’s didn’t have time to worry about the toughness of the track, they just had to avoid the bullets soaring over their heads, their mates dying next to them, and the stench of deceased bodies in the air.

Keeping in mind this happened all on some deadly terrain not in trench warfare and not fighting in planes in the sky, but in small, confined almost impossible to deal with; Jungle warfare, we’re talking guerrilla warfare, sniping shootouts, and a fight for not just our country, but for supplies like food, medicine and life.

These Militia were young soldiers a part of the one and only 39th battalion, renowned for their courage, their mateship, their endurance and their sacrifice, the four touchstones of the Aussie Kokoda campaign. These fellas like you and I today, young, innocent, but nevertheless brave and quite remarkable.

And so in the final month of the campaign the Japanese came so close to Port Moresby that our Aussies were pushed harder than ever. Our Militia were given the command from

a Major General Allen at a section of the track called Imita ridge. Allen uttered some of the most recollected words of the campaign.

“You will die here if you must” He said. With that powerful quote, the Aussies stood their ground and eventually gained the advantage with reinforcements coming up from Moresby, they pushed the Japanese back through the 100 kilometre jungle.

Back… to the northern beachheads where they began. This was significant as it was the first loss the Japanese had suffered during the war in the Pacific, that stopped the invasion on Australia. We had won.

The track taught me many things about mateship and sacrifice, about being there for people when they need it, whether its serving them up some rice at dinner time because no one else volunteered to do it or perhaps saving their life when they were about to fall down a cliff, believe me, it happened.

I like to think I came away from Kokoda a changed man, or perhaps over Kokoda I changed from a boy to a man.

It gave me an insight to my future and what I want from it, the track is life, you never know what’s around the corner, maybe it’s a big tree branch you must conquer or maybe it’s rough terrain to make your way down.

I ventured this exhilarating trek along with my father whom found the track a bit harder than I did, but we did it together and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. I completed this life challenge in memory of our fallen soldiers, and our brave militia who sacrificed their lives. The track will leave a mark in your history, just as it has done in Australia’s.

I’d like to finish with one quick thing: you may be asking yourself, what will I gain out of this? Or why should I really do this?

It sounds too hard or challenging. Well yeah it is challenging, but that is life, and to be able to say that I walked the same ground our Aussie blokes did 75 years ago protecting our country… that’s pretty damn special. I’m proud, and you will be too. Thank you.

Project Based Learning & Literacy RELIGIOUS EDUCATION – LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE, SEEING THE UNSEEN Year 8 students at St Joseph’s use Project Based Learning.This allows them to work in groups with other students and use the other spaces in the school to complete their tasks. On this particular occasion the Year 8 students were waiting to have access to the school landline in the staff room, for their Religious Education Project - Living the Christian Life, Seeing the Unseen. - Vicki Mills This style of learning is favoured by most students in the Year 8 learning community as it involves shared tasks. PBL also makes the most of the school areas as students are not limited to a single classroom and can use other useful rooms and equipment such as the library seminar rooms and the AV room. In Year 8 RE students completed different tasks to help the community. The “Living the Christian Life” project was completed in Term 3 of 2017 where students reached out to a chosen service agency and designed advertising material for the charitable organization. PBL helped them complete this as all students could contribute the most and shared the work.

There were also different ideas put together and everyones strengths helped the group complete the task. Year 8 PBL involves students in their work and making full use of the learning areas. - Jack Condon, Year 8 HUMANITIES – SAVE THE SAMURAI Students completed a project in Humanities that compared aspects of feudal Japan with modern Japan. Displays were created on topics such as: warfare, social structures, architecture, cultural practices, fashion, food and many more.

The following are reflections from students.

- Michelle Bishop Everyone researched well and worked together well. Even when things didn’t go as planned or people made mistakes, we bounced back well. We made a great presentation and we made an even better team.

- Jack Northey, Noah Bartolo, Darcy Norris & Will Lancaster Overall we worked well as a group and our presentation was completed. The presentation was well constructed and

64

thought out with different members of the group presenting their information using different programs.

- Caleb Ezard, Riley Firth, Alex Nguyen & Jack Linguey LITERACY When St Joseph’s College established a Secondary Literacy Improvement Project (SLIP) team, it intentionally included all Curriculum Area Leaders and Mrs Gemma Gray as the Literacy Coordinator.

It was envisaged that by leading teachers to build literacy capacity within their own subject areas, they would then be equipped to support students to understand the literacy demands of their different subjects. It allows teachers to create effective and engaging texts that are unique to each subject.

In 2017, the SLIP team continued to work with renowned literacy expert Mr Brian Dare to further develop team members’ knowledge of literacy strategies and provide opportunities to share examples of practice where the implementation of strategies led to improved learning outcomes for students. Some classes have worked on the ‘stages and phases’ of text while others focused more on using language like an expert through the ‘register continuum’.

In each instance, teachers’ illustrations of practice led to improved learning and engagement within their classes.

During staff professional learning time, members of the SLIP team conducted skill sessions for staff that introduced literacy strategies, facilitated workshops on how to implement the strategies and provided opportunities for staff to share their experience of using the strategies.

The work to improve literacy at St Joseph’s is ongoing. In 2018, all staff will participate in a staff literacy day highlighting the work of the SLIP team to date as well as initiating a number of school-wide literacy practices.

Humanities AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHY COMPETITION Geography students from Year 10 and 11 tested their geographical skills and knowledge against students from all around Australia in the 2017 Australian Geography Competition.

A number of students performed to a high level in the Competition this year with three students gaining distinctions and one student gaining a credit. These students were: Year 10 Distinction - Oscar Mazaraki, Bryce Watkins and Jonty Lawson.Year 11 Credit - Nathan Mifsud.

Over 70,000 students from 743 schools across Australia entered the Australian Geography Competition so the results give us an external benchmark as to how our students are going in certain aspects of geography.

Bernard Fitzpatrick, the Competition’s national coordinator, said: “The Competition aims to encourage student interest in geography and to reward student excellence. Geography is an important subject which develops a student’s understanding of the spatial interrelationships between people and place. It helps students appreciate the complex nature of local, regional and global, social, economic, and environmental interactions.”

High-achieving Year 11 students from the 2017 Australian Geography Competition will take part in a six-day training selection event, Geography’s Big Week Out, being held on Kangaroo Island, South Australia in early October this year.

From this event, four students will be chosen as members of the team which will represent Australia at the 2018 International Geography Olympiad in Quebec City, Canada.

THE UN YOUTH EVATT COMPETITION On 4 August at Deakin University, senior students Patrick Richards, Xavier Dowd, Jurrin Romanis, Matthew Walters, Harvey Carmody and Joshua Spork from Mr Bertino’s Politics class competed in the UNYouth Model UN Evatt Competition, with each pair being assigned a country to represent. They debated against each other and students from other schools in the Geelong region, negotiating in an attempt to best serve and meet the interests of their assigned country on a range of issues from governance in Israel and Palestine, espionage sanctions, to freedom to navigate in the South China Sea. The results of the competition found that two teams progressed to the semi-finals in Melbourne.

VCE PHILOSOPHY This year VCE Philosophy was offered to students for the first time at St Joseph’s College. Philosophy is a challenging and engaging subject that requires students to explore questions

such as: What is the nature of reality? Is there such a thing as human nature? Is it possible to attain certainty about anything? And what does it mean to live a good life? Students have honed their reasoning skills and grappled with problems posed by some of history’s greatest thinkers.

- Tom Arthurson “I think, therefore I am”. Our existence comes from our capacity to ponder. For the first time at St Joseph’s, students were asked to question what they were and how to live a good life with the introduction of Philosophy as a subject. This year has opened the students’ minds to a new understanding of how the world works, as well as questioning and discovering truths of the universe. Among all the classes this year, this will be the one that will challenge students the most as they have to question their own beliefs as well as understand complex theories by arguably the best philosophers of all time.

- Denzel Rabino, Year 12 Philosophy Philosophy has broadened my mind since day one. During the year we have covered interesting topics such as free will, truth and even beauty. Its student orientated style and class discussion has assisted students to formulate original ideas, as well as further their confidence and arguing ability.

- Harry HockleySamon, Year 11 Philosophy HOLOCAUST MUSEUM YEAR 10 EXCURSION The period between 30 January 1933 to 8 May 1945, is arguably the worst in human history. Orchestrated by the German Nazi Party, the Holocaust took over 6 million lives which equates to 60 full MCGs. During Term 2, Year 10 History students visited the Jewish Holocaust Museum. The museum featured a wealth of information on Jewish persecution during the Nazi regime.The museum includes everything from used ‘striped pyjamas’ and concentration camp replicas, to German newspapers published in the 1940s. These significant sources gave every student the realisation that this brutal attack on human life, occurred not during the middle ages, but less than 100 years ago.

The museum prominently displayed a tube, containing 1.5 million buttons, each one representing the life of a child, lost too soon. This was a symbolic reminder of how privileged we are to be alive in this current time. During our visit, we were given the rare opportunity, to speak to a survivor who experienced this abhorrent event. Joseph De Haan lived in the Netherlands during Nazi occupation, and stayed alive, by hiding at a farm on the outskirts of Amsterdam. After hearing his incredible story, we were able to reflect on what we saw and how it is still relevant to our lives today.

Year 10 & 11 VCAL YEAR 10 VCAL A major feature of Term 1 was the Basil’s Farm Induction.

Boys invited their parents to Basil’s Farm and took them on a tour of the farm, introducing them to staff, livestock and projects the students would undertake throughout 2017.

The students had to set up and prepare the farm in readiness for this big night that included catering, music and introductions.

Students worked hard on a previously eroded and damaged part of the farm to restore it to a functional and attractive area replanted with native plants. The students were responsible for clearing, planning, laying irrigation, mulching and planting the area. Now that Spring has sprung the area is thriving.

Students worked effectively in small teams to create items for sale at a stall at the College’s Father’s Day Breakfast. Students met their learning outcomes in Personal Development Skills by planning and running a stall of gifts of their own creation.

The sales of beef jerky, hot sauce and beanies raised money and awareness for the SJC Movember campaign.

Term 4 included a carp fishing environmental project, a Bellarine rail trial bike ride and attendance at a local Tradesperson’s Network breakfast.

Students have undertaken a range of activities in their Work Related Skills class this year. The purpose of this class is to develop their employability skills and get them ready for the world of work. Along with completing their Certificate 1 in Employment Pathways, students have completed a number of safe@work modules, made products for the Mother’s Day Stall, created videos on mobile etiquette, completed a number of team building and work ready activities as well as creating a tried and tested ‘Toastie’ cookbook. The boys have also experienced a taste of the work force with three weeks work experience. This class is a perfect example of experiential learning where students learn vital life and work skills in a hands on, vibrant way.

YEAR 11 VCAL In Personal Development Skills students began the year by heading off on a Challenge camp at Apollo Bay. Hiking, bike riding and beach team challenges kept the boys busy and appealed to their competitive natures. The purpose of the camp was to meet learning outcomes in problem solving, team work and leadership.

The camp was a great introduction to VCAL because it bought us all together to help push each other through the challenges and helped set us up for a big year of collaborative learning.

The Winter Sleep Out was a successful night as all the Year 11 VCAL students put their best feet forward in raising awareness for the plight of Geelong’s homeless. Student feedback from Year 7 & 8 students who attended was that the night was enjoyable and educational. We ran the following workshops: weaving sleep mats for the homeless, designing a 2018 winter sleep out shirt, did a simulation of what it would be like if you were homeless - having to build a shelter only to be moved on by police and business owners, ran a soup kitchen and hosted a short film viewing.

In Food Studies some future business leaders may have been born when we had to present our Shark Tank project. We had to come up with a food business idea and then we had to come up with a business plan which included things such as where the business would be, who is the target audience, trading hours, market strategy and much more.

Phil Pollard from “I assemble It” came all the way from Bendigo to talk to us about his business and how he got to where he is today. Not only did he talk about his life challenges and passions, he also touched on safety and what makes a young person these days employable with some secret tips. He then spoke about how his childhood love for meccano lead to his ingenious business idea. After Phil’s presentation we got stuck into assembling our own flat packs. Ikea kids kitchens were built to donate to local children’s charities.

Year 12 VCAL JAMIE OLIVER’S MINISTRY OF FOOD Cooking is a life skill I thoroughly enjoyed learning this year. Jamie’s Ministry of Food is a response to the lack of basic food skills among adults. By teaching people to cook for themselves and equipping them with some simple skills and food knowledge, communities are empowered to live healthier, happier lives. From shopping tips, including reading nutrition labels and budgeting, to storing food and working safely in the kitchen to time-saving techniques and knife skills, the cooking classes taught us everything we need to know to make healthy, delicious meals.

- Sam Hyde AMAZING RACE MELBOURNE As part of the Year 12 VCAL Numeracy course, the boys had a day in Melbourne to compete in an Amazing Race to develop navigating skills and team work. The day was spilt up into going to different destinations and getting clues to earn points which would then result in a winning team. We were split into teams of three and worked our way around Melbourne and the CBD. Some of the places that we had to pass were the MCG, Flinders Street Station, NGV, Hosier Lane and Bourke Street Mall.The day was really enjoyable and all the boys improved on their navigating skills.

- Jordan Imbrogno

SYDNEY In order to meet the VCAL Numeracy and Personal Development Skills Senior learning outcomes, students set off for Sydney. Activities undertaken over the three days included a workplace visit to the Triple J studios, an urban walk around Kings Cross covering the topics of drug use, coward punches, homelessness and sexual assault, the Amazing Race orientation and navigation task, the high ropes course at Taronga Zoo as well as team building activities. For some it was a first to travel by plane, for many spending several days in a big city like Sydney was a first. Students were challenged both physically and mentally out of their usual comfort zones, but all worked together, had fun and met the desired learning outcomes. Congratulations.

VET & VITA Skills For Life VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING (VET) More students are starting to see the benefits of undertaking a VET subject as a part of their Year 10,VCE or VCAL studies. We now have over 300 students completing VET courses this year.

This is nearly a third of the College senior years cohort!

Students completed a number of different courses both on site and at other training locations and providers in the Geelong region. Sport & Recreation, Carpentry and Furniture Making continued to be most popular but it was refreshing to see growth in the areas of Allied Health which is one of the largest employment sectors in the Geelong Region.

Students continued producing work of a very high standard. Some of the amazing projects completed included: hand built cubby houses, desks and chairs. Allied Health students conducted vital signs health checks for staff as a part of their training and VET Music students performed in concerts. Community partnerships were also formed this year with students supporting the Minerva Women’s Services and Auction at The Mill.

Excursions are a great way for VET students to see their studies in practice. This year students attended a number of excursions. VET Building & Construction along with Furniture Making students visited the Master Builders Association of Victoria. Including a tour of various job sites as well as industry professional talks and the all-important BBQ! VET Allied Health students visited the Belmont Residential Aged Care Facility.

Feedback received from students after attending the excursions was extremely positive and in most cases students found it made what they were learning more relevant.

2017 saw our first student participate in the Worldskills Competion. The competition showcases the best tradesman in the region with the winner moving on to compete at state level.

Jacob Stevens represented the College in the VET Building & Construction event. Jacob was required to plan and construct a saw bench in an allocated time.The competition was very strong and Jacob ended up placing 6th out of 14 competitors which is an extremely great effort. The College was proud of Jacob’s efforts and will continue to support the event in the future.

Structured Work Placement and School Based Apprenticeships were completed by a number of students alongside their VET classes. The students showed a high level of maturity and work ethic. The feedback from the employers was exceptional with numerous employers sighting that “Joey’s boys” are a great addition to their teams. The boys work hard, have great personalities and are well mannered and presented. This has led to a large number of new employers contacting the College seeking employees.

I am constantly impressed with the levels of motivation and enthusiasm shown by the students completing VET courses.

Whenever I walk into these classes I am greeted with smiling faces, knowledgeable trainers and start to feel a sense of maturity. Each student is focussed and engulfed in their learning, behaviour isn’t an issue and the students are aware of how much of a difference completing their chosen study could be on their

journey to start work.

Being the VET Coordinator at St Joseph’s College is extremely rewarding. Providing students with the opportunity to succeed, learn and helping students begin their life journey brings me great joy. 2018 is set to be one of the biggest yet. With numbers on the increase I am bound to have another busy and rewarding year.

- Jarrod Gore, VET Coordinator VITA “This is a great small program for us to work hard with the help of our teachers. Here, I can get help to understand. It’s at my pace and the aides make it make sense.”

This, from a graduating student, sums up the aim of the VITA program at St Joseph’s. In its second year at the school, 13 students are supported to complete senior school graduating with Certificate I in Transition Education, Work Education and General Education, the life-skills based certificate course. This helps students transition into life after school. Along with the 13 enrolled students, other disengaged students also benefit from having a time out from mainstream classes and extra support to help them through their schooling.

Our Edmund Rice philosophy centres around inclusiveness and respect for all students. From the youngest to the most senior, each student contributes to make the VITA program a richer, more accepting place. The VITA support team aims to foster a safe, supportive and respectful environment where each student can develop his potential and learn skills to take beyond school.

Some of the many highlights for the VITA students were the Bike Ed Project, Healthy Lifestyles Personal Training unit, Hosting the EREA Deputy Principals Conference morning tea and The Carbon Neutral Movie Project. Congratulations to Year 12 students Michael Antonello, Jazzariah Marrkula, Jacob Sesar and Aiden McGivern who this year graduate from the program.

- Peter Adams, VITA In ourVITA class we visited many different workplaces.Wathaurong Glass welcomed us to their workshop and showed us around. It was very interesting how they made shapes in the glass and how colourful the glass pieces were. - Michael Antonello In Term 2 of this year our VITA class went to Westcourt to trial recipes we were using in a cookbook we were publishing. I was helping Michael and Aiden cook some food so they could finish their work in time. I like going over to Westcourt to cook in their new kitchen. - Jazz Marrkula This is a place where the VITA boys work on improving their numeracy and literacy skills. It is a great small place for everyone to work hard with the help of our teachers Miss Smith, Mr Adams and Helpers Ange and Raelene - Jacob Sesar As part of our health unit in VITA, we did a bike ride around the Barwon River. We were lucky with the weather as most days we went were lovely and sunny. Everyone participated which made it a fun activity – Aiden McGivern VITA making morning tea for EREA

Education Support Services The Education Learning Support department is continually evolving to meet the needs and challenges of our diverse learners. We have 117 students funded through the Catholic Education Office supported by 31 full time and part time support staff over two Campuses. There are many students that do not meet the funding criteria that are assisted wherever possible.

Some of the students in our department participate in a wide range of activities that St Joseph’s is renowned for: leadership roles, football, athletics, chess, acting, singing, membership of the school band, attending school camps - the list goes on.

The students are an inspiration to all of us in the many and varied ways they teach us about who we are by challenging our “sensibilities” at times.

The department promotes the Edmund Rice philosophy of inclusiveness and respect for all students regardless of their background, ability or disability. Establishing a supportive and respectful environment enables the students to feel safe and creates a more conductive framework for the students to thrive in their learning and social interactions.

Once again our sincere thanks go to the Josephines for their ongoing financial support and interest in our programs that enables the department to purchase materials such as ‘Dragon Naturally Speaking’, outdoor Year 7 equipment, books and other literacy resources beneficial to the learning needs of our students.

The Learning Support area has enabled the VITA Skills for Life Program to flourish. This program promotes engagement and provides qualifications and a pathway for many young people who need individualised programs and learning plans. Our Education Support area has given support staff a place to work with students who are finding the classroom a difficult place to be at times, a bespoke room for Parent Support Group (PSG) meetings and a bright and vibrant area for students to meet. The department has implemented “tech free” days on Tuesday and Thursday giving the students opportunities to discover other ways of interacting.

With the growth and the ever increasing need to support our students’ learning across the College, our department will have three teachers coordinating various year levels and overseeing the students’ wellbeing. Mr Peter Adams, Mrs Nerrida Holland and Mrs Lauren Flint will be integral leaders in Education Support in 2018. They will offer vast experience and care when working with our parents and students. We would also like to acknowledge the wonderful work Mrs Sarah Gore did for the senior year levels this year. We wish Sarah all the best with her upcoming new arrival to the Gore family.

The “Pre-Vita” program introduced at Westcourt this year is a precursor for the students when they return to Edmund Rice Campus in Year 10.

We wish all the senior students who are leaving at the end of this year the very best in their future endeavours as they take their place in the world.

The Literacy Learning Intervention groups designed for extra literacy support for Year 7 students, are making a valuable contribution to assisting students who have been identified as needing specific intervention to support positive learning and confidence in improving their literacy skills. Literacy and numeracy support is also offered at the breakfast club for Year 7s.

Finally, a vignette from Will,Year 8 on what Education Learning Support means to him:

The Horse Riding Program through the RDA Barwon Centre is still in operation and several students benefit from the two hour sessions held each fortnight at Wallington. g njoyin Sam e ons s il the W ip r Prom T

“The education services is a very nurturing environment that anyone can go to if you need time to yourself when the classroom is loud, or overwhelming.

The staff in the education services are always kind, helpful and welcoming to the students that enter.”

English Studies In 2017, students in Year 8 and Year 9 experienced English delivered as projects, sometimes integrated with Humanities and at other times, as a discrete stand-alone subject.

This exciting approach to the delivery of English, not only encourages students to engage more deeply with text, but to work as a team to create products that are presented in real world settings.The implementation of Project Based Learning in core subjects, allows students to investigate topics, themes and issues in depth. The initial data from this year in terms of learning outcomes and engagement are very encouraging.

With the implementation of the new VCE study guide, students in Year 11 and Year 12 have embraced the comparison of texts, analysis of language to persuade an audience and the opportunity to respond to texts in a creative way.

The implementation of ‘Edrolo’ – an online flipped learning resource – has enabled Year 12 students to access content from expert presenters beyond the classroom. Year 12 students began the year with the study of the gothic classic, ‘Frankenstein’. In early Term 3, Josh Nelson’s engaging presentation on the comparative texts,‘Invictus’ and ‘Ransom’ prepared the students well for their School-assessed Coursework task.

Michael Goss - English Curriculum Area Leader YEAR 7 ENGLISH In 2017, Year 7 students at St Joseph’s College were given the opportunity to engage with visiting authors Oliver Phommavanh and Michael Panckridge. Both writers shared stories of their families and childhoods, and explained how their experiences continue to inspire their writing. The boys also learned about what it is to be a published author and gained insight into the processes involved in writing a novel.

Year 7 Reflections on meeting Oliver and Michael: I enjoyed it when Michael Panckridge came to Joey’s because when he was talking, it was mostly about when he was our age to inspire us to write stories. I was actually interested in what he was talking about because he was talking about footy and sports and stories from his childhood. – Adam Puglia Oliver was my favourite out of the two authors because he was really funny and brought lots of props when he talked to us. I also liked him because he had lots of energy when he ran around the stage. He was very entertaining and I enjoyed listening to his talk. – Oliver Telfer I thought that what Oliver said was very interesting about Oliver Pho

mmavanh

how he got his inspiration and I thought it was a bit funny.

It made me want to read his book but then he told me that it wasn’t getting sold anymore and I was annoyed because it sounded really interesting. But I realised that I wouldn’t like to be a writer because it sounded like it was something that you need lots of patience for and I’m not very patient.

– Tom Pearson Year 7 English Reflections In English this year, I enjoyed going to the library and writing my first essay. – Gabriel Brdar In English this year, I have been challenged by spelling and grammar. I have worked hard to overcome them and I think I am improving. – William Watt In English this year, I have developed my essay writing skills.

I used detail, punctuation and editing skills. – Joshua Manly In English this year, I have enjoyed reading books like Thai-riffic! – Joseph Lucas YEAR 10 LITERATURE As a student of English Literature, it was a pleasant surprise when I was asked to write for the school about the subject and what literature entails, and have a chance to share my own experiences that I have gathered throughout the year.

I was always keen on the idea of furthering my English abilities the same way it is possible to do so in Maths, so when I was offered the opportunity to be part of the extended English class for Year 10, it was something I couldn’t pass on. Most of the boys in the class will agree that the reason Extension English is such a successful class, is that all students who are involved love English and are actively trying to improve their skills. I didn’t realise how beneficial this united passion for the subject would be until I started the year, but it was something that I was positively surprised by.

The curriculum covered in this course differs from mainstream English in several ways. Extension English students this year were given a wide variety of texts such as novels, plays and films ranging from Shakespeare’s classic “Macbeth” to an under the radar film “The Black Balloon” which focused on disability and the effects that it has.

After having such a great year, it was hard for me to select my favourite moment, however my highlight reel consists of learning Macbeth in Term 2 and submitting my Heywire piece.

Heywire is a challenge hosted by the ABC; the task was to

English Studies write a short segment about life living in a rural area which led to me seeing some new sides to my peers.The whole class found the competition enjoyable and worthwhile. I found it especially fun given that I was able to write about sport.

Macbeth was a different style of writing and was challenging yet in a positive way, I really found it easy to enjoy English while we were learning it.

A major benefit of Literature is that it provides a great chance to improve on writing skills, as language and techniques involved in writing the perfect essays are a large focus in the teachings.To summarise the year, participating in the extended English class was something I found extremely enjoyable and rewarding. I was able to participate in a fun class whilst still honing my writing skills which I can apply in VCE. I would not hesitate to recommend the class to any upcoming students. - William Ryan, Year10 YEAR 11 ENGLISH The creative task in VCE English encourages students to adapt an original text or add to it. The piece below is an excerpt from one of our Year 11 students and is a great example of one student’s adaptation of a short story taken from Alice Pung’s Growing up Asian in Australia.

The Water Buffalo On a stinking hot December afternoon in Sydney I was born.

The eldest daughter of my family. As soon as I could sit up my father fed me book after book, transforming me into possibly the most literate toddler in Australia.

As I was growing up, my mother used to paint beautiful pictures full of colour and joy. My father never saw the use in painting, not until many, many years later.

When I was nearing the end of primary school my life changed forever. My mother passed away after a drawn out, ultimately useless battle with cancer, leaving three children and a father completely lost. All of those beautiful vibrant colours she had painted drained from the world, leaving a hopeless, desolate landscape of grey in their wake. My mother was always the one I could understand, the one I could bond with. She was always available, always there in the moment. My father seemed to be the polar opposite: difficult to connect with, hard to understand, always there but never really there at the same time. He was a stranger, someone who was far, far away and that made me feel like a stranger; who are we without our parents?

I had heard him calling out foreign and unfamiliar names in anguish during many nights. Sick of feeling as fatherless as I was motherless, I approached him.

“Dad”, I said as I sat next to him, “tell me about your life before you came here”.

I wanted to know what it had been like, what he had seen, who he really was. He remained silent, as if carefully considering how he should respond.

The narrator of the documentary continued talking, “despite the buffalo’s ability to adapt to its environment, it is physiologically less able to adapt to extremes of heat and cold than various breeds of cattle”.

Finally, my father replied, “some things are better left in the past, buried with our dreams and our nightmares”. I didn’t ask my father about the subject again for a very long time.

As I moved through high school, I always felt some anger towards my father. He was emotionally unstable when I needed him to be a sturdy rock onto which I could hold as life rushed around me like a wave, building up with each new worry as it neared the shore. I finished school with flying colours, succumbing to my father’s idea to study medicine when deep down I knew my aspirations lay elsewhere; I dreamt of a land as forbidden as the memories my father kept secret.

Years later, when I broke the news that I was leaving the hospital to pursue my painting, I could read the disappointment in my father’s eyes. A terrible argument ensued, leaving a rift between us that would last for years to come. When I received word that he was dying, I arrived to find his frail body lying on a bed of regret. He asked me to bring him a canvas and paints before he locked himself in his room for what felt like an eternity before finally revealing to me his final gift: a painting.

The canvas revealed the endless suffering, hundreds of stories, a lifetime of heroism and pockets of private hopes. I saw time, humanity and war. I understood it all, how he had truly cared for me, how he could not let go, how he had already lost so much before I lost my mother. In the centre of it all was a buffalo, its eyes full of sadness. It was my father. I was so maddeningly close to his world, but still so far away. I was both condemned and freed. I had found my father’s heart and now I had to find my own.

- Lachlan Francis, Year 11

One morning I came across my father sitting watching a documentary about buffalos. By this time, I knew that there was something in his past, something he could not let go of.

Library The Brother Rahill Resource Centre continues to be a busy and productive place. Classes have visited regularly to take advantage of the print and online resources available, with research tasks supported by topical displays, online library guides and book tubs. Students have also made use of the study space and meeting rooms for homework and study groups before and after school and in recess and lunchtime breaks. Improvements have included the installation of a new loans desk in Term 2 to create a more welcoming entrance.

Wider reading is promoted with colourful displays and a diverse selection of reading matter. The addition of an eBook platform has expanded the collection and provided an option for students who prefer to read on their device. Year 7 & 8 Readers & Writers Club have met each Tuesday lunchtime in the Literary Lounge to share their love of books and stories.

Activities have included book discussions, writing challenges and presentation of creative responses to their chosen books.

The Library at Westcourt has moved to the Waterford Learning Centre enabling students to work independently and collaboratively in a large multi-purpose area with accessible resources. New moveable library shelving, tables and seating allows the flexible space to be easily adapted to suit learning needs. It is a popular place at lunchtime with students using the space for board games, reading, homework and study.

Book Week celebrations were a highlight on the library calendar. Year 7 classes were treated to a visit from popular author, Michael Panckridge, whilst Mark Smith, author of ‘Road to Winter’ visited Westcourt to speak to the Year 9s.

Lots of budding authors entered the Book Week short story competition and a lunchtime book quiz proved popular with our keen readers.

THE BOX I wake up on a cold, stone floor. Laying on my back, my eyes search the room. It’s a cube with four black walls, a black floor and a black roof. There are no doors, no windows, no furniture. Except one hole. The meter long square is in the dead centre of the roof. I look outside and see a pale blue sky. Where am I? I don’t know how much time has passed since I woke up.

I have no sense of direction. Panic starts to set in. I feel claustrophobic, the walls suddenly closing in on me. The need to escape becomes a necessity but no matter how hard I try, I cannot reach the hole in the roof. Freedom is so close, yet so far. That’s what frustrates me so much. I slump into a corner, put my head in my hands and eventually fall asleep.

I wake up on a stone floor. The same floor. I wake up in the middle of the room, on my back. Exactly the same as before. But there is no hole, just another part of the roof has replaced it. I jump to my feet and do a full circle, until my eyes come to rest on a window. I press both of my palms to the window pane and my nose is so close it almost touches the glass. The window stretches from the roof all the way to the floor, leaving my entire body exposed to the outside. My eyes scan the new surroundings. I’m in a city, but not a normal city.

There are weeds growing from the cracks in the pavement, windows are smashed, cars have come to a stop.There are no people. I snap out of the trance and come to my senses. Glass can be smashed. I slam my hands against the glass, then my elbow, then my knee. It doesn’t budge. It’s bulletproof.

I must have slept. It mustn’t have been for long. But I wake up in the same position, exactly the same as the last two times.

It’s different. Light floods in from every angle and drenches me. My once black box has turned to crystal clear glass. I spring to my feet and slam at the windows, smashing my whole body weight into the wall. I bounce right back. No. It can’t be bulletproof. Not again. I desperately attempt to smash through the boundary to the real world. But each wall is bulletproof glass. I give up and sit cross-legged in the centre.

Skyscrapers stretch up on every side of me. But something in particular catches my eye. Something is moving behind a smashed car. A red bandanna is tied to its arm. A human.

The next time I wake up, I am not laying on my back in my black box. I’m still lying on my back, but I’m on pavement.

I’m in the same place as before, but I am no longer in my box. Buildings and cars surround me but I notice one thing in particular- the girl with the red bandanna is standing over me, pointing a knife at me.

LOTE 2017 has been a busy year for both staff and students. Students at the Edmund Rice Campus and Westcourt have had many diverse learning opportunities offered by the faculty.

YEAR 8 Earlier in the year, a group of Year 8 Italian students competed in the annual Italian Poetry competition run and organised

by Swinburne University. After the students recited their poems to a judge they met with Dr Simone Battiston, who spoke about the opportunities and advantages that studying languages provides in the future. Students completed some language-based activities aimed at building their oral skills in Italian and they ended their visit with a guided tour of Swinburne University’s Hawthorn Campus. It was a fun and rewarding day for both staff and students.The following are some reflections from Year 8 students: On 14 September, a group of 25 students met at Geelong Train Station to catch the train to Melbourne. We recited our poems and after everyone had finished we headed to a lecture theatre to complete some fun activities to develop our Italian speaking skills. We met with an Italian Professor from Swinburne who spoke to us about why learning Italian as a second language is important and how it could help us in our future careers. We finished with a quick tour of the University facilities. It was a memorable day, I hope I win!

- Joshua Belleggia, Year 8 A group of Year 8 boys went to Melbourne for a day out at Swinburne University for the annual Italian Poetry Competition. Firstly, we recited our poem (that we had practised for weeks), to an Italian representative at the university. Afterwards we participated in an Italian workshop and completed many activities to build our Italian speaking skills and vocabulary. After the activities, we listened to a Professor from Swinburne University talk to us about the advantages of studying Italian beyond Year 8. The highlight of the day would have definitely been the speaking activities that we completed. - Ashley Wilson, Year 8

All Year 8 students attended the yearly LOTE excursion to Chinatown, the NGV and Lygon Street. Through this excursion, students had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of China and Italy.

All students enjoyed this experience, I am sure that it will be a highlight of their language-learning journey when they think of it in years to come.

YEAR 9 Westcourt Italian students participated in the ‘Italian Urban Experience’, which takes place over three days in Geelong, Daylesford and Melbourne.

A group of elevenYear 9 Chinese students had the opportunity to once again partake in ‘The Young Leaders to China Program’, an intensive six week language course completed in China during Semester 1. Students spent three weeks at a school in Nanjing as well as three weeks travelling around China. This group of students has returned to Westcourt motivated and enthusiastic to continue with their language studies in Year 9 and beyond.

“The 2017 Victorian Young Leaders to China trip was a once in a lifetime immersion experience where eleven Year 9 boys, including myself, were exposed to the exotic and unique culture that China offers.

While we were in Beijing and Shanghai, we attended Chinese classes at different schools and universities, which gave us the best possible learning experiences and insights into the Chinese language and everyday life. Each day we had the chance to communicate with the locals to improve our language skills. There were many challenges to overcome whilst over in China, we endured six weeks without our families, meaning that we relied heavily upon each other for support. Because of this, it brought us closer together and I have definitely made some lifelong friends inside and outside the St Joseph’s College community.

Year 8 students took part in the Italian Poetry Competition at Swinburne University. When we arrived at Swinburne, we practised our poems one last time before one by one we presented our poem to people from the university. Everybody did very well. We then had a tour of the university where we saw all of the different faculty buildings and learnt about the different courses on offer (for future reference). After that, we caught the train back to Geelong. Overall, it was a good experience and an enjoyable day. - Patrick Visentin, Year 8

LOTE We also experienced new foods, the challenge of the language barrier, and the chaotic population that was in China. The entire population of Australia lives inside the city of Shanghai, this was a mind-blowing concept that we could not fathom.

We also had the privilege of visiting some of the oldest Chinese temples in the world, the Great Wall of China and many sacred gardens. All of these places taught us about the rich history of China and what challenges they have faced as a nation. This amazing trip was an eye opening and life changing experience that I, nor any of the boys will ever forget.”

- MacKenzie Ewings, Year 9 YEAR 10 Students had the opportunity to grow and develop their appreciation of both cultures and languages through not only classwork, but also excursions run by both language departments. Both Year 10 Italian and Chinese students participated in the yearly LOTE Camp with Sacred Heart College. Students spent two days practising oral, reading and writing skills of the language they study. The following are some reflections from Year 10 students: LOTE Camp was one of my favourite experiences in Italian this year. The activities we completed at camp helped me improve my speaking and listening skills. I also enjoyed watching the Italian movie ‘Benvenuti al Sud’, it helped improve my comprehension but also highlighted the cultural differences between northern and southern Italy. I highly recommend this experience to future LOTE students.

- Shaun Vigor-Smith, Year 10 LOTE Camp was the highlight of Year 10. We completed fun language activities to learn more about Italian culture and enhance our language skills. Some of the activities we completed included watching an Italian movie, playing celebrity heads in Italian, role-playing in Italian, writing a

74

postcard home in Italian and watching a short segment of an Italian telenovela and completing a listening comprehension activity based on this scene. Another highlight of the camp was watching the sunrise at Anglesea beach before breakfast.

On the final night all students performed at a ‘concert’, although our performance wasn’t the greatest we had so much fun organising and performing it to the other students and teachers. - Isaac Graham, Year 10 Year 10 LOTE Camp is one of the most exciting events on the school calendar for Year 10 students studying a language.

There were many exciting activities on offer, ranging from cooking foreign food, to beach walks and spending time practising our speaking and listening skills in Chinese.

Every single student enjoyed their time at LOTE Camp, we all felt that we learnt so much from our teachers and we were all grateful for the new friendships made with other language students from Sacred Heart College.

- Jackson Bourke, Year 10 ITALIAN STUDY TOUR 2017 At the end of this year a group of Italian students in Years 10 and 11 from St Joseph’s College and Sacred Heart College will travel to Italy to complete a three-week cultural and language immersion. Students will spend one week at an Italian school in Milan attending classes and two weeks of travelling around Italy visiting cities such as Venice, Florence, Rome and Pompeii. The study tour of Italy is offered every two years, current Year 8 and 9 students of Italian that continue with their language studies in 2019, will have the opportunity to attend the next trip.

Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues of the LOTE Faculty for your continued hard work and support.

- Caterina Giacomazzo, LOTE Coordinator

Victorian Young Leaders To China The Victorian Young Leaders to China program is a program set up by the Victorian Government. Students are selected from across the state to embark on a six week trip to China.

On 22 March, 13 Year 9 students along with Mr Taylor and Ms Brown left on the trip of a lifetime. We left from Melbourne and travelled to Beijing. We would stay there for two weeks studying at Beijing Language and Culture University.We would have long days starting at 7:00 with breakfast then self-study and class from 8:30-12. In the afternoon we would either go on an excursion or participate in a cultural activity such as dragon dancing or a workshop on Chinese History. After dinner we would have study again from 7:00pm until 8:30pm.

Before going to bed and getting up to do it all again the next day.Across these two weeks we visited many of Beijing’s major tourist attractions such as the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and The Great Wall of China. During this time we also had no contact with our family and friends back at home.

In week three, we moved on to Shanghai along with Marcelin College and Whitefriar’s College students. We all boarded at Shanghai I&C Foreign languages school. They were long but fun days with a similar routine. School in the morning and cultural activities or an excursion in the afternoon followed by self-study at night. The highlight of the trip for most of the boys was the buddy visits. We were all assigned two buddies and spent two Saturdays hanging out with them and their family in some cases. We also went on a weekend away to Hangzhou and a day trip to Suzhou. Two cities further away from Shanghai. In Shanghai, we visited many attractions such as The Bund, The Oriental Pearl Tower, Yu Gardens and the China Expo Pavilion to name a few. We were received with great hospitality and the schools we stayed at were extremely helpful and welcoming. During our time in China, we even met up with some St Joseph’s College Alumni who told us their stories about their pathway to living in China and their job and life in China now.

The group set out with three clear goals.

1.

To improve Chinese Language skills

2.

To improve our understanding of Chinese culture

3.

To improve as leaders.

Throughout the program we achieved all three goals.

Our Chinese Language skills improved greatly with many of the boys passing exams and tests with flying colours, a result of many hours of hard work.

Our understanding of Chinese culture is deeper and we now understand many Chinese traditions and rituals and why they are important to Chinese people.

We all improved as leaders through looking after ourselves for six weeks. We made sure we were well organised and punctual. We looked after each other and worked as a team building a strong bond.

All in all, the program was a great success for all involved. We built lifelong friendships with each other and the Marcelin and Whitefriar’s boys. We were able to look after ourselves and were self-sufficient for six weeks. We improved on our Chinese language and our knowledge of Chinese culture.

We visited many of China’s major tourist attractions. We ate some phenomenal food and at amazing restaurants. We all ventured out of our comfort zones at some stage and tried something new like a food, experience or even performing to a room full of strangers. We have returned as better people and many with a passion to return to China one day for further education or even a career. We have many amazing memories and experiences and would like to thank the school and Ms Brown and Mr Taylor for supporting us and giving us the wonderful opportunity to experience the other side of the world.

Drama ACC DAY This is an annual event in our school calendar. Students from Year 8 and 9 had the opportunity to travel to Mazenod College to participate in a selection of interesting drama related workshops with students from other Catholic Colleges.

Geelong region as well as a professional cast and crew from the Malthouse Theatre. Our students managed to create an imaginative piece that referenced rising water levels, “up to the viewing deck of the Eiffel Tower”, extinct animals and escape into outer space to start again on another planet.

The students used the workshops to learn new skills about acting for camera, how to create characters, polishing up some commedia skills and mask work as well as an opportunity to hone some circus skills.

SCHOOL PRODUCTION August saw an influx of pirates and policemen around this part of Newtown. This unusual turn of events was probably, directly related to this years Triannual School Production hosted by Sacred Heart College. “The Pirates of Penzance”

by Gilbert and Sullivan was a vibrant success presented to sell out houses at GPAC.

SUITCASE SERIES This year for the first time, Year 9 drama students have participated in the Malthouse Education Program. The idea is to read a specially commissioned script written for students in Year 9 and 10 about Climate Change. This year, the starting point was a script called “Turbine” and it was a fabulous catalyst to stimulate the students to explore their own playmaking skills. The Program is called the Suitcase Series because each performance is required to fit all the props it needs into a suitcase.

The Year 9 students created their own ensemble performance that went for no longer than twenty minutes, which was performed to other participating schools from the

Boys from all year levels across the College successfully auditioned and took part either on stage, as musicians in the pit or in a technical position by operating the spotlights and equipment. Congratulations to all who were involved. The chance to be part of a school production is often a memorable highlight of school experiences for many students.

Arts The year in Visual Arts started with the Alumni Exhibition showcasing the talents of past arts students. Displayed in our new Pat Bourke Gallery, students were inspired by professional artistic works from fine art to architecture.

Exceptional work by St Joseph’s College students, from all year levels, was on show at the biennial ACC Arts & Technology Exhibition at Federation Square in Melbourne in June.

Another wonderful 15 Words Film Festival was held with a huge crowd gathering to enjoy the sensational showcase of the media talents of our students.

Each year, students create outstanding, innovative visual arts productions. The students access and explore new technologies including 3D printing, laser and CNC cutting as well as architectural, film and design industry software.

Students also explored traditional mediums and skills such as drawing, painting, ceramics and analogue photography.

The Pat Bourke Gallery hosted a full year of rotating displays of student work curated by Laura Martin. The Year 12 Art and Technology Exhibition in October opened to a crowd of proud parents and teachers. It was an outstanding exhibition of quality work that represented the culmination of six years of learning. Congratulations to Lucas Pante whose highly successful Visual Communication Design work was awarded the Principal’s Acquisitive Award for 2017.

Thank you to our dedicated team of Arts Leaders for your dedication throughout the year including Year 12 student, Jacob Loughnan who spoke at both the ACC Arts and Technology and Year 12 Exhibition openings.

- Leanne Adams & Simon Cahir, Arts Domain Leader & Assistant ART REPORT The Arts crew had a very successful year. The Art assembly followed the footsteps of last years, with ‘Arts doing things differently’. We had on show some of the amazing art that St Joseph’s College students have to offer. The senior band and vocal ensemble performed a classic from the Lion King – ‘I Just Can’t Wait To Be King’ and did a rap from the Broadway musical ‘Hamilton’.

The Fifteen Words Film Festival featured some incredible films. We definitely have a bright future in the film making industry! Congratulations to the 2017 Fifteen Words Film Festival winner Ethan Near, 2nd place Charles Daray and 3rd place William Devine, Callum McGough and Tom Ford.

This year we saw a number of outstaning exhibitions including the Alumni Exhibition and VCE Arts & Technology Exhibition.

These events were a huge success. I cannot wait to see the Arts grow into the future!

- Jacob Loughnan, Arts Team Co-Leader YEAR 7 ART & DESIGN This semester in Year 7 art we have done a self-portrait, made clay sculptures and we are now designing a DVD cover. We will also create a movie trailer and a painting. With our new skills we completed a portrait of ourselves, drawing different tonal scales which helped us to make our picture more realistic. While making our clay sculpture we brainstormed and researched before making a thumbnail and drafts of what we were going to make. Then we used the skills that we had learned to make our sculpture. While designing our DVD covers, we went through the same design process as the clay sculptures but to make the final copy we are using Adobe Photoshop. We enjoyed all that we have done so far in Art and hope that it continues. The teachers have made this very enjoyable and have supported us.

- Alessandro Pino & Adam Ramuta, Year 7 YEAR 8 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN Visual Communication Design. It sounds confusing on paper but in reality it is a whole bunch of fun. Each lesson creates a variety of interesting learning opportunities. Photoshop was just one of the many tools we were taught how to use effectively. The program was used to help us design cool pictures and even our Year 9 Westcourt Diary ideas.

If you’re more of a hands on person, try making your own bus shelter model out of a range of different materials. You can even use the computer program SketchUp to create a virtual bus shelter, house or even a city!

Personally, using Photoshop to create the Westcourt Diary was my favourite part of the semester. Creating a unique bus shelter was a close second. Visual Communication Design in Year 8 is a great introduction to architecture and technology. Just don’t burn yourself with the hot glue gun!

- Alex Con Foo, Year 8 YEAR 8 STUDIO ARTS 3D This year for Year 8 3D Art has been an amazing experience.

From learning how to sculpt a Hebel sculpture to moulding a dragon in clay. Many skills have been learned and mastered throughout. I have been enjoying it all the way through. I have

Arts met new people with many new tricks ‘n tips who love doing hands on artworks that we can keep in our bedrooms or backyards. Art has been great for me, every piece of what I make tell us something behind it. Which makes me feel like I have achieved a masterpiece.

- Oliver Edwards, Year 8 YEAR 8 STUDIO ARTS 2D In 2D Art our class has been exploring several art units such as drawing and impressionism.We learnt the basics of drawing which included shading and the different types of line. For our final piece for the unit we were required to draw some items on different surfaces. These were newspaper, brown, black or white papers, however, we needed to use a different medium on each surface. I enjoyed using the different shading methods such as stumbling to create tone and a realistic picture.

For our next unit we have been looking at impressionism and some techniques such as dabbing, horizontal brush strokes and painting with a loaded brush. We were asked to find a picture of an environment and to use the impressionism techniques to recreate the photo. I liked painting the sky and using unusual colour combinations to make the final piece as interesting and detailed as possible. I am excited about what is next to come. - Andrew Dawson, Year 8 YEAR 10 STUDIO ARTS 2D Year 10 2D Art is a studio process of exploration, analysis and the production of 2D Art. Our year level had the opportunity to learn and produce contemporary, realistic, surrealist and abstract art. The areas covered are drawing, painting and printing, which for us involved learning to develop our techniques and using different mediums. As well as creating different art works, you will analyse the ideas and meaning, subject matter and aesthetics that make great artworks. Year 10 2D Art has a fun aspect to it, you will be able to draw hands coming out of mouths, eyes on the branches of trees, you could splash tones and colours together and see how they turn out for abstract painting or make a very weird surrealist painting. I would recommend 2D Art as a fun and interesting elective subject. - Liam Fitzgerald, Year 10 YEAR 10 STUDIO ARTS PHOTOGRAPHY This year we conducted multiple units including experimenting with long exposure techniques and analogue photography using the darkroom. We have refined and elaborated on our knowledge of art elements and principles and photographic techniques including the Rule of Thirds. I enjoyed the topics

as teachers supported me in being creative and exploring ideas and making them my own. - Max Jedynak, Year 10 YEAR 10 MEDIA In Media, we explore the ever changing world of media technologies and forms. Podcasting is an emerging medium that continues to grow in popularity and allows anyone with a story and a microphone to gain an audience. The first assessment task was to create our own radio podcast. We were given recording devices and had to plan and script a real or fictional story to be recorded and turned into a podcast that could possibly be put on the radio. This task resulted in many of us recording entertaining and meaningful pieces, exploring what life is like for teens in 2017.The second assessment task was by far the favourite of the class.We got to create a music video to a song of our choice. We planned and storyboarded our ideas and vision and worked in groups with everyone assigned and job either as the director, cameraman or actor.

This assessment task was the penultimate part of the second term topic of film studies, giving us a further insight into how we can make quality short films. I thoroughly enjoyed this subject and thank the teachers for their amazing work.

- Daniel Robinson, Year 10 UNIT 1 & 2 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN Vis Comm has been one of the most interesting and intriguing subjects I have done. I continue to learn a lot through each lesson, especially in Mr Cahir’s little lectures. Things such as, how to increase the attraction of an advertisement, all the way to the anatomy of type. Each unit revolved around a specific design area and/or technique. Each unit ensures each student use their full creative capacity to create a unique final, one that follows their detailed design brief with great accuracy.

In Vis Comm I enjoyed the class mentality, each student was going through the same process to get to a final that had to stand above the others, using your class mates as inspiration is a key technique that led to many great ideas from each student. Vis Comm is a subject that involves a lot of freedom, when this freedom is used wisely and taken advantage of, the sophistication, creativity and imagination of the final product never ceases to amaze. - Callum McDermott, Year 11 YEAR 10 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN – FOLIO PRESENTATION The goal for this semester in Folio Presentation was to learn about the three fields of design, communication, environmental and industrial design. We created a theme then designed and built a model café. To achieve this goal we Alumni Exhibition

Arts first had to come up with a brand for our café, along with a floor plan, elevations and a 3D model. The elevations were drawn on computer using Illustrator and then laser cut. After finishing the café model, a menu design was next, along with a stand for display. In the unit, I have further developed my skills in design, both computer aided and traditional, which was a highlight, along with the freedom to create my own concept of a café and a unique brand. - Thomas Anderson, Year 10 YEAR 11 STUDIO ARTS When reflecting on time spent in Studio Arts, you realise how much freedom and encouragement is directed towards individualism. Studio allows you to become creative in any matter that suits you. This alone differentiates the class, making it not only unique but exciting. Before undergoing your explored theme, you develop artistic and innovative ideas.We start by looking at past and contemporary inspirations such as ‘Von Guerard’ and their particular motives and influences.

The study of particular artist helped us transition into many different materials and mediums. Learning techniques behind every material further helped our focus with experimentation and establishing new ideas. From the many different skills gained, we are left as individuals to explore any theme. Personally I explored a darker theme using the skills I developed earlier in the Unit. Focusing on pen and ink, I was able to place my attention on flourishing the techniques and studio processes evolving around my final artwork. Overall, Studio Arts has really helped me to think with originality as well as provide me with the freedom to do so. All in all, I highly recommend Studio Arts as it provides an enjoyable and open experience. - Jordan Bradaric, Year 11 YEAR 12 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN Visual Communication Design is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding subjects provided at the school, but with a huge level of attention and care required to maintain high standards of work.

Unit 3 was all about getting an insight into the life of a designer, and included a range of SACs based on real life design. We looked at analysing and evaluating designs, as well as looking at the scope of design briefs by interviewing a designer of our choice.The unit also focused on technical drawings and other methods utilised in the design field.

a design brief, we planned, designed and constructed a wide range of work that expressed each individual’s interests and hobbies in a unique way, and displayed it all at the Art Expo.

A huge amount of thanks is due to everyone in the Art Department, especially Simon Cahir, for their motivation and direction throughout the year. - Jordan Jones, Year 11 VCE UNIT 1&2 MEDIA Media provides students with the necessary grounding in production and analytical skills for studies in Year 12.

By investigating themes such as representation, media regulation, and the Australian film industry, students develop an appreciation for the ways in which theory and practice complement one another. A highlight for the year was a trip to the set of Family Feud. I believe this class was a good step in preparation for Unit 3 and 4 where we will have to go off on our own and create a piece by ourselves.

- Tom Curran, Year 11 VCE UNITS 1 & 2 STUDIO ARTS In Year 11 Studio Arts, we started by doing seven different workshops to explore different mediums and to decide what we would like to do for our final artwork. These workshops included drawing, printmaking, photograms, water colouring, oil painting, sculpturing and mixed media.

After the workshops, we got to choose our favourite one and then create our final artwork. We did this to prepare us for Year 12 where we will be doing a similar process.

This has been a great way to learn and it has been great fun.

- Lewis Conquit, Year 11 VCE UNITS 3 & 4 STUDIO ARTS In VCE Studio Arts we have undertaken a range of tasks such as writing an exploration proposal, exploring artworks, creating a folio, making our artworks and studying artists and galleries. I have learned and expanded on a variety of skills this year, in particular writing about artworks including their visual language and aesthetic qualities. By developing these skills, I have gained a greater understanding of my own artworks and a greater ability to write and evaluate works as well as building an understanding of commercial and public art galleries. I have enjoyed this subject and specifically the folio and artwork stages of the course.

Music 2017 has been a full and rewarding year for the St Joseph’s College Music Department. Continued growth in all our ensembles has been very pleasing. As well as our traditional large ensembles, we have seen the rebirth of smaller ensembles and the beginning of new ones. The Clarinet Ensemble, Flute Ensemble and Junior Drumline have all had successful beginnings and we look forward to them developing and performing at future concerts. It has been pleasing also to have a couple of younger contemporary bands begin this year and hopefully they too can develop further and follow the example of the Year 12 Rock Band, Infinite Steps.

Our Intermediate and Senior students were able to enjoy the benefits of some excellent workshops and tutoring through the regular ACC Workshops in Melbourne and Geelong throughout the year. The Vocal and Percussion Workshop was hosted at St Joseph’s College Geelong in May. We were fortunate to host some excellent presenters, Dr Jonathon Welch from the Choir of Hard Knocks, Bert LaBonte, professional actor and singer and our own John Seal, percussion teacher extraordinaire. Another great opportunity was a Band Workshop hosted by Belmont High School. The Intermediate Band combined with other Geelong school bands and worked with Dr Rob McWilliam.

An addition to the program this year was the involvement of the Senior Band, Intermediate Band and Drumline in the Geelong ANZAC Day Parade. This involved quite some time and effort in getting the boys and music staff to march in step and play recognisable sounds. However, after some considerable square bashing and quite a few laughs, the boys presented extremely well on ANZAC Day and were excellent ambassadors for the College. It is hoped that this can become an annual event on the music calendar.

All of our Ensembles participated in the various Victorian School Music Festivals this year. Whilst no ensemble achieved an outstanding result, the performances all had much to commend and demonstrated a large amount of work and commitment. The Junior Band performed for the first time quite early this year at a Festival in Geelong and performed with very pleasing confidence.

Congratulations to Angus O’Connell who has had such a great year on saxophone. Angus has featured in the prizes of three major music competitions in the city. Angus, as well as

leading the saxophone sections in the Senior and Stage Bands, undertook VCE Music as a Year 11 student. That is a great effort from a boy who only began playing the saxophone in Year 7.

The Second Semester Music Concert broke from tradition this year and featured a tribute to the music of The Beatles, as this year was the 50 year anniversary of the Sergeant Pepper Album. Staff and students embraced the concept wholeheartedly and many positive comments were received.

We bid farewell to an excellent group of Year 12 students all of whom have been exceptional in their musicianship and commitment to the College Music Program. Thanks to James Bowers and Patrick Consedine our Music Captains and Sean Doherty, Liam Jelley, Finbar Kinna, Aiden Sweeney, Thomas Veitch and Nelson Wilcox. Finally, thanks to all the music staff who through their continued efforts and commitment help provide such a great environment for music to thrive. - David Gallaher, Director of Music SOLO NIGHT RESULTS A GRADE 1st Angus O’Connell 2nd Jake Raimondo 3rd Patrick Consedine

Debating & Public Speaking ACC DEBATING & PUBLIC SPEAKING TEAM On 23 August, four keen Joey’s students – and myself, travelled to Mazenod College in Melbourne to represent at the ACC Public Speaking Competition. During the day, each student presented two speeches in front of other competing Catholic schools and an adjudicator. There were many exciting, informative, educational and persuasive speeches by all of the Associated Catholic College representatives. Some topics from our boys included: discrimination, populism, China’s political landscape, and the Kokoda experience. As part of the competition the boys also had to do an improvisation speech with only five minutes to rehearse.The boys gave it their best and overall our public speaking team finished fourth out of the nine schools. – Will Magher DAV DEBATING TEAMS What an exciting season in the Debaters Association of Victoria (DAV) Debating Competition, we saw great success for our A, B and D grade teams.With confidence, collaboration and persuasiveness all of the teams experienced wins against tough competitors such as Geelong Grammar, Kardinia International College and Geelong College. At the end of the regional season, the A Graders finished in first place, the B Graders in second place and the D Graders in fifth place.

The A Grade team progressed to the playoffs in Melbourne where they competed against Parade College, unfortunately losing by a 3 point margin. Throughout the season, best speaker awards were given to Thomas Newnham, Benjamin Camilleri, Samuel Arnold, Liam Jelley and Kobi Pelletier.

DAV JUNIOR PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION On 25 May, St Joseph’s College hosted the DAV Junior Public Speaking Competition in the Performing Arts Centre.

Students from Geelong Lutheran College, Western Heights College and Sacred Heart College joined us for a great day of training, speeches and activities. Year 7 and 8 students Lachlan Dowling, Samuel Nicopoulos, Jett Sansom, William Baum, Lachlan Demasi and Finnegan Murray created insightful and mature speeches that explored heroism, humanity or history. Congratulations to all of the boys who competed.

VCAA PLAIN ENGLISH SPEAKING COMPETITION The nation’s most prestigious public speaking competition occurred in Term 2 and Year 12 student Kobi Pelletier and Year 10 student Riley Eggleton were selected to compete from St Joseph’s College. Kobi spoke about the war on drugs, and Riley spoke about the dangers of right-wing populism.

Riley won first place in the regional round and progressed to the semi-final where he competed against the top speakers from other Victorian regions. Kobi was awarded with the Victorian Regional Encouragement award; this award recognises one outstanding speaker from regional Victoria.

This was the first time both of these students have competed in a public speaking competition, so their results are an impressive achievement. These young men worked diligently to produce memorable speeches, and they are commended for their engaging manner and passion about their topics.

Science SCIENCE WEEK National Science Week is Australia’s biggest week celebrating science and technology. The theme in 2017 was ‘Future Earth’ and St Joseph’s College celebrated on Monday 14 August.

We ran an electromagnetic bike challenge, providing green energy for our future. Students competed to see who could generate the most watts in three minutes. Competition was fierce but the eventual winner was Jameson Richmond, who produced 5.8 watts. As the winner, Jameson took home a nanodrone.

There was also a kokedama workshop. Students created beautiful hanging plants to help green up the school.

The Science Week Quiz had three winners, each taking home a box cube puzzle as a prize. The winners were Nathan Fox, Declan Brown and Marcus Zulumovski.

Well done to all students who participated.

- Philippa Barber, Science Curriculum Area Leader YEAR 8 SCIENCE ENGINEERING EXCURSION Year 8 science students attended Deakin University Waurn Ponds in the first week of Term 4, as their entry event to PBL Engineering. They received a presentation from Deakin University staff on what an engineer is and the types of engineers, as well as a tour of the CADET (Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training) Engineering building to see 3D printed bones, ears and gears, a virtual reality room with a CAD WALL, the civil engineering lab, a mini power grid of a city and of course, the high voltage room. Students used this experience to then complete theory and activities on energy, energy transformations and engineering back at school.

- Samantha O’Keeffe and Philippa Barber, Science Curriculum Area Leaders

RACI TITRATION VICTORIAN SCHOOLS COMPETITION Each year, the Royal Australian Chemical Institute invites students from Years 10, 11 and 12 in each state to compete in a titration competition. Students are required to apply skills specific to chemistry which involves the use of pipettes and burettes, determining the endpoint of an acid-base reaction using an indicator and calculating the concentration of an unknown solution. Those who participate do not need to have any background in chemistry.

Teams consist of three students and this year St Joseph’s entered 15 students. These students gave up multiple lunch times during Term 2 practicing for the competition. This preparation ended with a 90 minute session to complete the titrations and calculations involved.

All teams placed in the top 50% of the 350 teams who entered across Victoria. Congratulations to the following students who competed: Year 10: Eamon Wheatland, Nathan Fox, Tom Anderson, Matt Davie, Charlie Roache, Ethan Near Year 11: Sean Wee, Tom Mahon, Xavier Dowd, Patrick Richards, Tom Boardman Year 12: Jackson Kos, James Bowers, Liam Jelley, Michael Bongiorno - Joanne Board, Science Teacher SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CHALLENGE 2017 There were 22 students who were a part of the Year 10 super group to represent St Joseph’s College Geelong on Thursday 18 May at Deakin University for the 2017 Science and Engineering Challenge. These students signed up for the exciting group collaboration challenges to immerse themselves as everyday engineers and scientists solving problems.

Science The boys were divided into eight groups to tackle eight major hands-on tasks, some full day and others half day. The variety of activities that the nine schools competed against each other included building bridges, wiring virtual cities, designing bionic hands and building an earthquake resistant building.

the ‘Let’s Get Rocked’ Geology Unit. Points were obtained by making sentences using one or more keywords to show understanding. The more complex the sentences and more links to other key concepts the more bonus points were available.

After lunchtime there was a score update, whereby St Joseph’s was in 3rd place. This was on the feedback of three ‘half day’ activities, so there were still another four half-day activities and four full day activities to be counted in the score by the end.

It was an intense 15 minutes, with strong skills of collaboration, organisation and leadership on display. Four white board markers, frantically writing on each whiteboard all in pursuit of the same goal. Competition was fierce, with prizes on offer and it was evident that all team members had to contribute for the team to be successful.

Before the final bridge challenge the boys were in 1st place, however our bridge struggled to maintain weight, and whilst our supergroup were strong competitors, the St Joseph’s team placed 2nd overall. They were delighted with this! They had two wins in the eight challenges: coding in Confounding Communications and designing an earthquake resistant building in Helter Skelter Shelter!

The winners for the day were Whitefriars College and third place was Geelong Baptist College.

St Joseph’s College participate in the Science and Engineering challenge every year because we are keen to give students access to activities they would not normally experience in schools and show them that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is an important part of their everyday life; something they should think about as a possible career in the future. Deakin University in particular has also changed their engineering courses, optometry and medicine courses to be PBL/DBL (Design Based Learning) structure and the facilities really lend themselves to collaboration. It was fantastic for the students to experience these team challenges and collaboration built spaces.

- Samantha O’Keeffe, Science Curriculum Area Leader WHITEBOARDING IN PBL SCIENCE In the final weeks of Term 1, students in Year 8A and 8J Science participated in a ‘What Do You Know Challenge’ to represent the knowledge they had developed across the term.

The timed challenge, involved the use of mini-whiteboards and 40 keywords the students had come across throughout

The completed whiteboards were impressive, very little space remained blank and the representation of conceptual learning evident. The competition was close and winners were elated with their success.

This activity integrated principles of STEM, Project Based Learning (PBL) and Literacy all current curricular focusses within the St Joseph’s College Community.

- Susan Dickinson, Year 8 Science Teacher YEAR 8 SCIENCE PRESENTATIONS In Term 3 Year 8 students have been working on a project about cells and body systems. Their culminating event was to create several exhibition pieces explaining how body systems work, focussing on the key organs and specialised cells. They had to explain their work to an audience of teachers and other students. Several of the models were interactive, showing the function of the system. Year 7 and 10 classes came along to the event and one class was given the opportunity to explain their models and how they work to Grade 5 and 6 students from St Mary’s Primary School.

The St Mary’s students also had the opportunity to make their own life size diagrams showing the organs that they knew.

A fun and educational time was had by all.

Sustainability This year we made significant inroads to our commitment toward renewable energy, with the installation of an 88kW DC Solar system (comprising of 320 panels) at the Edmund Rice Campus. Installed by Old Collegian, Kurt Pamvouxoglou from City to Surf Solar. In addition, we installed our Future Spark electromagnetic bikes in the staffroom, for students and staff to use in breaks and students have already implemented several competitions to see who can generate the most power. Many of our student endeavours centred around biodiversity and planting techniques, as we commenced the ResourceSmart Biodiversity module. Activities and initiatives undertaken this year included: a fifth sustainable drinking station, wetland development and food miles analysis at the Farmer’s Place, recycling workshops at local primary schools,Year 7 stewardship excursions with Great Ocean Road Coast Committee, planting workshops, a Mother’s Day plant stall (raising $560 for the homeless), making sleep mats for the homeless, planting native species beside Carey Oval, recycling excursions and pre-loved bicycle collection. Students were also encouraged to participate in various national events including: National Ride to School Day, Clean Up Australia Day, National Tree Planting Day, Cool School’s Enviroweek and National Recycling Week.

UPSTART CHALLENGE - THE “TALKING BIN” William Baum, Lachlan Demasi, Daniel Warfe and Sascha Wheelwright, have been instrumental this year in the design and construction of a “Talking Recycling Bin”. William, Lachlan and Sascha entered the idea into the Upstart Challenge competition, making it to the top 12 ideas (from 89) and winning the “Best Video Entry”. After progressing to the top six, William, Daniel and Sascha delivered a fabulous pitch and charmed the crowd with their wit, humour and well-articulated speech at the Pitching Showdown, receiving acknowledgement from the judges for thorough research.

CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY This year we achieved the highest turnout of SJC families supporting the Friends of Waurn Ponds Creek and an enormous volume of rubbish was removed from the embankments of the Creek. Year 10 student Sean Bindokas continued the collection for three hours without a break. A wonderful example of GRIT! PLANT PROPAGATION, KOKEDAMA &TERRARIUMS As part of the ResourceSmart Biodiversity module this year, various workshops were offered to students to create interest and broaden their understanding of biodiversity. Thomas Caligari developed a new initiative called Chop’n’Swap, where students brought in succulent cuttings to swap and propagate ready for the Mother’s Day Stall. Kokedama and terrarium workshops in Term 3 were also poplular and a chance for boys to get their hands dirty building their creations. Subsequent workshops have been conducted for students and staff as part of the Cool Australia’s Enviroweek activities.

attended the ResourceSmart Education Awards hosted by the vibrant ABC television personality, Costa Georgiadis. This year we were acknowledged as a winner of Secondary School Teacher of the Year. - Kelly Jenkins, Sustainability Coordinator THE FARMER’S PLACE, FRESHWATER CREEK On March 1, 40 students from Year 9 Planet Green and Sustainability leaders travelled to The Farmer’s Place. There they participated in turning a dam into wetlands for native animals and joined the 100km food activity, where they discussed the “food miles” surrounding different pizza toppings. Students finished the day by making tasty wood oven pizzas using local toppings. It was a great day, very enjoyable and a lot of ideas were taken from The Farmer’s Place.

- Tom Caligari & Jack Condon, Year 8 RECYCLING WORKSHOPS On 16 May, Sustainability Leaders travelled to Geelong College to exchange projects and ideas about waste reduction, recycling and biodiversity. We spoke to students about how we reduce and recycle our waste at St Joseph’s. We then headed over to the Year 4 Enviro-Centre. Exploring the Centre was an amazing experience and would definitely change St Joseph’s for the better if a few of their ideas were implemented. Ideas included: an indigenous garden, frog pond and “Pot to Plate”, where one day a week Year 4s cook a meal using the ingredients from their garden.

- Xavier Korolis, Year 7 Sustainability Leaders visited Holy Spirit Primary School to conduct a Recycling workshop with Grade 3 - 6 students, to support them with the implementation of REDcycling at their school. The excursion was great! We got into pairs to teach about sustainability. My partner and I were placed with the Grade 6s. We taught them about REDcycling and the different bins. We also got them to participate in some recycling activities and some fun games. Personally I really liked the excursion and would definitely like to go again!

- Jack Macpherson, Year 7 STEWARDSHIP EXCURSION TO TORQUAY On 29 April, 7D boys went to Fisherman’s Beach as our prize for “Cut the Wrap” in first term. We went to meet Peter Crowcroft, to tell us about sand dunes and other coastal features. We also walked down the beach picking up rubbish, categorizing it and we created a tally for the different groups. We learned a lot about the environment and how humans impact it, as well as the importance sustainability plays on preserving our natural ecosystems. - Matthew Sorgiovanni, Year 7 NATIONAL TREE PLANTING DAY On 30 July, 17 families from St Joseph’s participated in National Tree Planting Day. It was a windy morning which made planting a challenge. The Friends of Waurn Ponds Creek supplied the tools and all plants planted were native to the creek area.The goal was to have planted 2500 plants on the Winter Street site near the Waurn Ponds Creek Bridge. - Jack Sager, Year 8 y Clean Up Australia Da

Food Studies What’s in a name you ask?

We all like to be called by our correct name and our subject was no exception in 2017. Food Studies was the new name adopted by our subject area (formerly Food Technology) at St Joseph’s.

The reason for this name change was in keeping with the new VCE study design. Students in Years 11 and 12 were introduced to key knowledge and skills by name, throughout their studies in 2017. They enjoyed creating and naming their own dishes with original titles on occasion during practical classes.

At the junior level, Year 7 students referred to their new subjects by name. They embraced a challenging new subject like Food Studies and welcomed the opportunity to learn various practical skills through applied learning. The students were able to recognise many familiar dishes, identifying these by their recipe names and were able to produce these each week. Students in Years 8, 9 and 10 researched names of their own ingredients for use in suitable recipes, often modified within a range of contexts, such as special occasions or specific dietary needs. They used the design process with the stages clearly named throughout their projects, including planning, producing and evaluating their products.

Senior Awards, Student Investiture morning teas and Father’s Day Breakfast. The annual Inter-house Cooking Competition involved boys in Years 7 and 8, with competitors as always, happy to be named as the winners by our judges.

Thank you to our Food Technology team, Leanne Rivett, Suzanne Walsh, Nicole Lucas and Leanne Sims, with Annalee McKew, Tania Willard, Jo Rigoni and Katrina Sherman at our Westcourt Campus, for all of their valuable assistance and dedication as always throughout another busy school year.

Finally, our assistant at Edmund Rice Campus, Mrs Karen Sherman moved on from our kitchen to another area here at St Joseph’s, the school canteen.We would like to thank Karen for all of her hard work, help and support over the years in Food Studies.

Happy cooking!

Product Design Technology (Wood) & Information Technology PRODUCT DESIGN TECHNOLOGY (WOOD) Here we are again at the end of another dynamic and lively year for the Product Design & Technology (wood) Department.

Students accessed the subject in greater numbers and this has seen the facilities both at the Edmund Rice Campus and Westcourt Campus used at a high level.

The Year 12s have produced work that they should be proud of and Steve Catanzariti has once more energised the boys to produce works of value and quality. The boys produced excellent products that were creative and individual. Their products enriched the Year 12 Art & Technology Exhibition greatly. They should be proud of their contributions.

The pupils in the mid-school year levels have produced work that has challenged them both from a designing and manufacturing viewpoint. It is always fascinating for the teaching staff to see the differing approaches that boys take to solving a practical problem.This year the Westcourt Challenge program has tripled in numbers and the Enrichment Program has doubled. This is very encouraging for the subject area, indicating how much young men wish to be involved in subjects that are project driven and have a tactile element to them. Dan Salmon is to be commended for his excellent effort at Westcourt.

The VET programs have been progressing extremely well under the support of Tom Trupkovic, Steve Catanzariti, Scott Ballan and new staff member Duncan Russell. It’s been fantastic to watch the boys learn and become confident in their chosen areas of training. They will be well prepared to become excellent additions to our communities professional work force.

With 2017 drawing to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the Wood Technology area. Their efforts make this lively and energetic subject area operate smoothly. Both teaching and support staff continue to do their utmost to make the subject an enjoyable, appealing and safe area for the boys to work in.

Their endeavours are a real benefit to the boys. - Paul Melis, Production Design & Technology (wood) Coordinator

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 2017 has witnessed a change in thinking for the area of Information Technology at the College. While curriculum in the senior school has rolled along with the introduction of new staff member Mr Quentin Lyndall, the junior years have been reviewed.

The new Victorian Curriculum’s Digital Technology curriculum has meant changes in the Years 7 and 8 areas. The Year 8 team have consolidated teaching and learning activities written last year in line with the documentation. Assessment tasks have been developed in keeping with real world problems. The key study areas have been web design, networking and coding.

Year 7 will come online with the Digital Technologies Curriculum in 2018. This has meant teaching staff have reviewed the documentation and have also attended various professional development activities, in order to ensure they provide connected continuous curriculum in this area. This will continue to be developed throughout the 2018 school year.

Careers Career Development is a Life Long Endeavour!

As the student population increases at St Joseph’s College, so too does the work in Careers. It has never been more important for students to begin their career development early and to learn and realise that this journey will in fact, be a lifelong endeavour. The College encourages all students to take responsibility for their career development whilst making good use of the resources and staff on hand to support them.

The new careers website and the Careers Resource Centre, and staff, are able to assist all students, from Years 7-12, with their career development.

The SJC Careers website provides students with access to many resources and links prepared to support them in their career development as well as life outside of school. At St Joseph’s College we see students making careers decisions early, for example when they make subject choices. These decisions may affect their pathway and career choices later on. Through Community Service and the experience of Project Based Learning, we see students become more aware of themselves, their qualities and skills and ultimately their place in the world. In order to capture this information and the students’ stage of career development, students at the College maintain their own Career Action Plan which is located in the Student Secure area of the SJC Careers website.

The SJC Careers website provides students with templates and job seeking resources. Students are able to create and save resumes, cover letters and digital portfolios. There are also links to the creation of tax file numbers and the Unique Student Identification number (USI).

– this is very important especially given this information is constantly changing. Parents are able to log in to the student’s secure area as well as opt to receive careers newsletters and information about careers events. Students and parent/ caregivers are encouraged to have a look at the new website and take the time to explore the many resources and links available. The web address for the Careers website is www.sjccareers.com CAREERS ACTIVITIES AND HIGHLIGHTS Work Experience Week was held during Activities Week in Term 2. This year over 300 students from Year 10 descended upon workplaces in Geelong and the greater region and further afield in Melbourne and New South Wales. Once again, the students represented the College tremendously well which was made very apparent through positive comments from employers and fantastic evaluation reports. Well done!

During Careers Week, Year 10 students were provided with information to assist them to make decisions about what senior school pathway they will take in their life after school.

Students also heard from guest speakers and presenters.

A number of students attended a variety of Careers excursions and programs including the Avalon Air Show, Aerospace, Aeronautical and Defence Careers Expo, the Spot Jobs Careers Expo, Trade Skills, the Internet of Things program at the Gordon, the Defence Force Careers Expo and the Community Services Sector Program just to name a few. Students should keep an eye on their email inbox in 2018 to see what other exciting career opportunities and events are coming their way!

- Karen Shum, Careers Coordinator

The website has also been designed with the parent/caregivers in mind, and aims to provide the information needed to support students’ career planning and post school options

TriUMPH The 4th and the biggest! Yet again our students, led relentlessly by Jacob Loughnan, created a fabulous festival to compete with any professional music event. I cannot believe the amount of energy and compassion the student committee demonstrated.

Students worked for over 12 months on this project to bring the festival to life. Not only did they accomplish this task but they had to do it all with no prior skills or knowledge AND they needed to complete it all with the pressures of VCE at the same time (time allowance? Office? Telephone? Secretary? Not for this event!) it was pulled together famously.When the big festival day arrived so did the rain!

The TriUMPH wonder team rallied together and managed to move the entire event to the following week. Along came the alternative day with fearful weather watchers consulting the Bureau of Meteorology on an hourly basis. Okay so it was wet, but over 5000 students danced and sang their hearts away and had a wonderful time. The double live stage featured awesome live acts playing to an enthusiastic crowd. The DJ tent rocked and throbbed despite the rain with huge queues keen to get in.

Meanwhile the Chill stage entertained huge crowds of laid back students keen to hear local talent.

Food vans braved the cold weather and rain with the owners and later the bus drivers, commenting on how wonderful the student manners were. It was such a credit to all our students to hear such reports. I was so proud of all the students throughout the day.

In the final wash up these young entrepreneurs have managed to: • Employ an entire village of East Timorese mothers making 5000 hand made wrist bands in the traditional Tais manner which will

96

pay for the village children’s education and health needs for a long time to come.

• Encouraged more sponsors than ever before to come on board to help the project - including Krock and Ghanda • Enlisted eight live bands, several accomplished Melbourne DJ’s and interviewed all the Chill stage hopefuls.

• Contracted enough food vans to feed 5000 plus students • Employed PRD Music to install a double live stage, build a DJ stage and Chill stage with all the awnings and music required for a big festival • Designed a logo and applied it to a variety of merchandise There is of course a multitude of other areas I could mention but time doesn’t permit. In short a most wonderful day was had by all and the $80,000 raised will go an incredibly long way to assist the women of East Timor. Congratulations TriUMPH team and student bodies from all four schools!

- Simon Cahir, School representative for St Joseph’s MY FIRST TRIUMPH FESTIVAL This year’s TRIUMPH commenced at Clonard on Friday 15 September, with the school communities of St Joseph’s, Sacred Heart, Clonard College and St Ignatius all coming together to raise money for Timor Leste and Uganda. This festival is held once every three years and all the schools look forward to it.

It was a little unfortunate that the event was moved due to bad weather, and the day itself was still marred by rain. This year was my first time attending TriUMPH. There was a range of performance stages including: The Main Stage, The Chill Out Stage and the DJ Stage, all held around Clonard and Westcourt.

Food trucks were available on the day with a range of food to cater for all tastes. I enjoyed seeing my friends throughout the day from the four schools, this was a great time to get together to chill and relax. Overall the day was well organised and was a great experience for me. I look forward to attending my next TriUMPH in Year 11. - Luke Carra, Year 8

College Houses Only two words can be used when describing Foley’s year in 2017. History making. The boys who entered Foley at the start of the year, knew they struck gold in joining the Falcons.

We began with a cruisy win at Kardinia Pool beating our new rival Jordan Redbacks. Athletics saw Foley swiftly showcasing the best of the young talent. A shock win at Cross Country sealed the year for a consecutive Adam Bryant Shield. Well done to the other houses.

To my Foley members from 7-12 I thank you for the great effort shown in 2017 which will go in the history books as truly dominant. Other houses can say what they wish but no one can deny the great spirit shown by the mighty Falcons.

May our victory last forever.

- William Devine, Foley House Captain

It was a long year for the Sharkies boys, kicking off with the swimming sports at Kardinia Pool. After some outstanding performances from our Year 10s and 11s, it was not enough as the Sharks rounded out our much loved event in last place.

After feeling the hurt of losing our swimming sports, our backs were against the wall, however the motivated Year 12 cohort lead by cult figure and Butler house icon Andrew “candy man” McNeel, were eager to change the flow and win our first aths day in 17 years. After a disappointing show from our Year 11s who only fielded 22 of their 63 young shark pups, the true GRIT of the rest of the house was on show with some outstanding individual efforts. Ultimately we were left disappointed, in 3rd place the Sharks where outclassed by a returning giant, the Foley Falcons.

The final event of Term 1 was Cross Country, held at the magnificent Barwon River. Participation was key and our boys rose to the occasion.The Foley boys came out on top for the three-peat. 2017 was not our year in the sporting field, but I’m sure I leave this great house well positioned to go one better in 2018. Good luck to the 2018 House Captains and beyond, I urge everyone to get involved in house activities and jump onto the opportunities that SJC gives you. It’s been an honour and a privilege. Special thanks to Ms Drever and Mr Lynch.

Go Sharks. - Jack Brogden, Butler House Captain

The Brophy Bees have had an outstanding year in 2017.

Progress is key and the Bees made progress like no other.

We had a tough start finishing last in the Swimming Sports.

However, the Bees resilient nature shone brightly, a high spirit of competition was displayed by all members at the Athletics Carnival. Despite all round domination in the 100m sprints lead by star athlete Jacob Sesar, once again the Foley Falcons athletics supremacy prevailed.

The final major carnival was the Cross Country on Edmund Rice Day. Year 7 Bees started the day strong, showing that Brophy are not a force to be reckoned with. Sitting in second place toward the end, Michael Gulle and myself desperately searched the bottom of the Barwon for a miracle. However, the Foley Falcons proved too strong, taking out the Cross Country Shield, finishing their trifecta. The participation from all St Joseph’s students was fantastic to see.The school’s ACC team, led by Mr Kemp, showed great promise in taking out the school’s first major ACC carnival event.

As 2017 comes to a close all I can say is thank you. I urge all young aspiring Bees to run harder, swim faster and push for longer.The hard work will pay off and the Brophy Bees will be on top once again. - Jack Keating, Brophy House Captain

Jordan’s year got off to a great start, with boys putting in a fantastic effort at the Swimming Sports, especially the Year 7s.

Everyone had a good crack, however we narrowly finished second by 9 points, almost capturing our first ever swimming title.

Next was Athletics Day, with Jordan looking promising from the outset. Geelong put on its best weather for the day as we attempted to dethrone Foley. Participation levels were high across the younger year levels, and we looked threatening all day, however a lack of numbers in the senior levels ultimately let us down, coming second once again to Foley.

In the Cross Country, we were looking to finish the year off strong. Despite our strong history, and fantastic efforts by the all of the boys, we were unable to continue our dominance, finishing third overall. Although being unable to clinch any of the three titles, we would like to thank all the Jordan boys for having a go this year. The future looks bright, and we look forward to the Jordan boys dominating in the years to come. - Callum McGough & Hugh McMahon, Jordan House Captains

Edmund Rice Day One of the highlights this year was Edmund Rice Day. There were many activities, a handful of them being battle of the bands, down ball comp, staff vs students Gaelic football, a slip’n slide and my personal favourite activity: bubble soccer.

The menu that day was beautiful, there were many items on sale such as, hot chocolates - which were served all day. My favourite part of the day was watching the staff trying to beat the students in the football at the end of the day. I think that Edmund Rice Day is something St Joseph’s should be very proud of. I will be eagerly waiting for next year.

The House Winner is:

Athletics Day My first Athletics Day at St Joseph’s started off in great anticipation, with every house eager to win the Adam Bryant Shield. All students showed great enthusiasm and it was a fun day with hard fought competition and great sportsmanship. Everyone strived to win points for their House in each event and there was a great atmosphere. There was lots of support from the crowd, chanting for their team to be victorious. The Athletics Day had many events including long jump, high jump, shot put, discus, 100m sprint and a whole lot more. It was a great way to start my journey at St Joseph’s and one which I will remember. - Ethan Saba, 7B Athletics Age Group Champions GROUP

Swimming Carnival February 12 2017 was my first annual SJC Swimming Carnival. It was a blisteringly hot day and all you could hear was the roar of the Houses cheering for their teams, Brophy, Jordan, Foley and Butler. As we lined up for a race, it was as if everyone was cheering for you. We began with the four main strokes: backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly (optional) and the top athletes got their place in the finals, the ultimate showdown to decide which team would come out on top. But it wasn’t all competition, if you weren’t racing you could have a go on the diving boards and as you would imagine pretty much all 1,700 boys were lining up for a go. In the end it was Foley that came away with the win, again. All round it was a fantastic day even if you weren’t a great swimmer it was fun to watch the teams compete. - Jack Cambridge, 7H 2017 AGE GROUP CHAMPIONS

Health & Physical Education I was reminded of what a great College we work and learn within earlier this year when one of my best laid plans for a PE class had to be modified at the last minute.

I had intended to use the gym for a practical laboratory activity for my VCE PE class, but I discovered that it was unavailable.

I decided to use the bus set down area as the best (and only remaining free space in the College) to have my boys conduct their repeat sprint test to analyse their capability to restore high energy muscle phosphates between sprints.

On our way over to the bus set down area, I saw virtually every available PE space being used productively, with boys engaged in meaningful and varied PE classes. A Year 8 PBL class with Mr Querella was playing one of their rounds of AFL football on Zampatti Oval. Students not involved in playing at the time were busy either collecting statistics to use in later classes, umpiring or videoing the game in preparation for the end of season celebration and reflection class. I was informed later that a student had been fitted with one of our Catapult GPS devices to record his movement patterns, running speeds and distance covered, again as a means for later discussion and learning.

Mr Breheny was working closely with a VCAL PE class on Aphrasia Oval, focusing on catching. Many would think that such a ‘basic’ motor skill is quickly and easily learnt, but Mr Breheny was delving into his extensive kitbag of expertise to challenge the more gifted students yet also allow struggling students to learn and experience success. It was apparent that all students were enjoying this activity.

Witnessing these two examples of meaningful teaching and learning within the PE/Health framework prompted me to reflect on all that we offer here at SJC. Where our dedicated staff strive to provide engaging and meaningful lessons across the variety of areas within our curriculum.

Outdoor and Environmental Studies explored how we can interact and utilise our outdoor environments for recreation in a sustainable way, classes investigated health and human development in local, Australian and global communities, VET Sport and Recreation, Sport Science, Footsloggers, High Performance Academy....the list is extensive!!

I would like to make special mention again of the work completed this year by Mr Sam Querella in his role as logistics and programming coordinator. Having worked in this capacity previously, I understand the time and effort that goes into planning our practical activities and ensuring we have the required equipment. Thanks also to Mr Mark Rayson for coordinating the Outdoor Education department.

At the time of writing, I am also aware that two of our long serving PE teachers, Mr and Mrs Wrigley will be leaving us at the end of the year.Thank you both for your contributions to our domain and the wider school community. We are better for having worked with you and learnt from you!

Cross Country St Joseph’s won the Associate Catholic Colleges Division 1 Cross Country for the first time ever at the ACC 2017 Cross Country event at Bundoora Park on 13 September. This is a first time win for the College in a carnival event. Being 27 points behind going into the Senior Division, the boys put in a fantastic effort and came from behind to win! With SJC place getters in the Under 14, Under 15, Under 17 and Open there was a top effort accross all age levels. We have gradually been creeping up the ranks coming in 6th,5th,4th,3rd,2nd,2nd over the past six years.

Congratulations to all of the students who took part. Thank you to former Coach Luke O’Grady who set such a strong foundation, Co-Coaches Tom Cashin and Matt Walsh have formed strong bonds with the lads in thier first year of teaching at St Joseph’s, Patrick Prendergast for organising the Westcourt Campus runners, Bryson Milverton for his organisation and encouragement, Jane and Karen in the Canteen for providing breakfast twice a week for three months, Tony Paatsch for attending the carnival and speaking to the boys at singlet presentation, all the PE staff who assisted with talent ID in PE classes and the Maintenance staff for getting all the gear together.

Of special note is that Ollie Hanneysee and Lewis Antonac both ran for our seniors even though they had a Colts

preliminary football final on for St Joseph’s. Brayden Ham and Doyle Madigan also ran admirably whilst being immersed in Football finals for Torquay Colts and St Mary’s seniors. This is unprecedented and exemplifies the boys commitment to win after so many close finishes. We are looking forward to next year. - Glenn Kemp OVERALL RESULTS 1st St Joseph’s 679 2nd St Bede’s 711 3rd St Bernard’s 857 U/13 99 U/14 144 U/15 111 U/16 173 U/17 72 SENIOR 80 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES U 14 3RD Tim Hannan U 15 1ST Tom Hockley-Samon U 15 2ND Noah Gadsby U 17 2ND Doyle Madigan U 17 3RD Paul Kanellos Senior 3RD Hugh McMahon (Captain)

Year 10 ACC Football In early March, the 43 eager boys of the Year 10 football squad rolled up unaware that they were about to build the foundations of a rollercoaster year. A year filled with triumphant victories, an ACC Premiership and a heart breaking loss – 2017 was certainly an unforgettable year.

Late in Term 1 marked the beginning of our season, with a matchup against Parade College. The Joey’s outfit was impressive all day, proving too good as we ran out 55-point winners. Round 2 saw the boys bus up to Mentone to take on St Bede’s in what was expected to be a challenging game. In warm conditions we were able to keep our cool and run out as 26-point winners.

Rounds 3, 4 and 5 saw the continuation of a proficient run of forms.The boys were able win comfortably against Whitefriars, Mazenod and the newcomers St Joseph’s Ferntree Gully by a combined total of 295 points. Our final two games for the home and away season included matchups with De La Salle and St Bernard’s. Playing at home against De La Salle, we were able to fly out of the gates early to get a fast start as we knew a finals berth was on the line.We ran out as 49-point winners, with Darcy Chirgwin slotting 8-goals which beat the record of most goals in a game by a Year 10 footballer. Coming up against St Bernard’s the boys were able to show class in tough conditions by capping off a great season with a six goal victory leading us into the Grand Final undefeated.

The ACC Grand Final saw us take on St Bede’s who were keen to seek redemption after our previous encounter at the start of the year. The boys started well kicking out to a 22-point half time lead, however the boys from Mentone were not going to lay down and the game was still on the line at three quarter time. An incredible final quarter surge from the boys produced six unanswered goals and we were able to pelt out the famous “Ad Alta Virtute” song.

INTERMEDIATE HERALD SUN SHIELD 2017 saw AFL Victoria introduce the inaugural Intermediate Herald Sun Shield which combined Year 9 and 10 students.

As ACC Premiers, we went into the five team Division 1 competition somewhat optimistic about our chances. The

semi-finals were played at RAMS Arena in Craigieburn against Parkdale Secondary, St Patrick’s Ballarat, Marcellin and Xavier with the top two placed teams at the end of the day qualifying for the Grand Final. We got underway against Parkdale and a 15-point lead at half time was unexpected considering we were kicking into a brutal wind. We piled on the goals in the second half and ran away with a 51-point win. Game two was against St Pat’s and after a nervy start, strong contested work and composed play enabled us to swing the momentum back our way as we ran out 25-point victors. Our third match against Marcellin shaped up to be the biggest yet with a victory taking us through to the grand final. A tight finish was lead by a solid performance in the backline and we defeated Marcellin by 11 points. Our final match was played against Xavier who were too good for us, but we knew we would be ready for them in the replay a few weeks later.

The Intermediate Herald Sun Shield Grand Final was played at Victoria Park against APS powerhouse Xavier College.

After a rev up from Mr Holt and Mr Lynch the boys ran out rearing to go. Solid work from our backline allowed us to lead by seven points at quarter time, which was narrowed to three points at half time. The seesawing first half was blown open

by Xavier in the third as they kicked five unanswered goals in the first 10 minutes. Though we fought out the game the lead was too much and we fell 14 points short 10.8.68 to 12.10.82.

The season included many outstanding individual performances. Congratulations to Josh Sorgiovanni who took home the Best Player Medal in the Herald Shield as well as the Best and Fairest by two points ahead of Jack Mullen. Notable mentions to Charlie Harris and Darcy Chirgwin (who slotted 34 majors throughout the season) who received the Coaches Awards. Whilst St Joseph’s isn’t the first name to be carved into the Intermediate Herald Sun Shield and the year didn’t end with a fairy-tale finish, the memories and friendships created is something that will always stick with the boys as they aim for greater success in the coming years of SJC Football.

First XVIII Senior Football The long awaited 2017 First XVIII campaign got underway in brilliant fashion. We welcomed newcomers St Joseph’s Ferntree Gully to the ACC with a big 100 point win with best and fairest winner Sam Torpy playing a superb game. The winning form continued in second game with another big win against De La Salle, giving the boys a lot of confidence in the early part of the season.

Round three saw us travel to Whitefriar’s College where we were totally out classed by a spirited Whitefriar’s outfit who delivered our young side somewhat of a football lesson. We knew we could beat them with a full strength side but had to lick our wounds and move on to the next game, and that we did with a much talked about game against our rivals St Bede’s who famously beat us in a controversial Year 10 Grand Final in 2015. With history in the back of our minds, we delivered a solid four-quarter performance and welcomed the inclusion of Vic Country stars Matthew Ling and David Handley.

Our next opponent was an improving Mazenod College which we were able to overcome to the tune of 10 goals.

Then we had one of our bigger challenges of the year with an undermanned team against a red-hot St Bernard’s. The game was a good learning experience for the group as we looked to improve in the coming weeks.

After the home and away season, we finished in 3rd place and had to travel to St Bede’s for a do or die semi-final. St Bede’s were aided by the inclusion of several of their stars, which we didn’t confront earlier in the season. It was a very brave and noble effort from the 24 boys who represented the College

leading all day with the exception of the last two minutes, to go down by nine points and ending our 2017 campaign.

Obviously this was a disappointing result, but as Captain I was very proud of the team’s effort.

With the season completed, focus then turned to acknowledging the individual efforts of our players. Future star Sam Torpy, Year 11, took home the Best and Fairest, leading goal kicker and the Greg Vaughan Most Courageous Player Award to cap off an amazing season. Another Year 11 student, Doyle Madigan, finished runner-up Best and Fairest which was a brilliant effort from the Torquay and Geelong Falcons star.

Jack Purcell and Patrick Kelly took out the Coaches Award and Most Exemplary Player Award respectively. Further congratulations must go to Matthew Ling, Bayley Cockerill and Sam Torpy who were selected in the ACC Team of the Year, which is an amazing effort.

On behalf of the players we would like to thank Mr Jonathan Holt and Mr Matthew Walsh. Their effort and dedication to the program is outstanding and the players really appreciate it. They have created such a strong tradition at our College which will hold us in good stead for many years to come.

To everyone who helped behind the scenes, Ian Durran, Len Alford, Greg Vaughan, Mark Kennedy, Shane Dawson and Bryson Milverton, we greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into the team on a weekly basis. Although 2017 didn’t pan out as we had hoped, I have no doubt the First XVIII will come out bigger and better in 2018.

St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club A lot has changed at St Joseph’s Football Club since I first walked through the doors in 1986 when Simon Taylor coached me in the Under 18s. For starters it’s no longer just a football club but rather a football and netball club which this year is home to 45 teams and has about 700 participants representing us each weekend. I would never have imagined that some 30 years after joining the club that we would have such a large netball representation, girls football teams and an all abilities netball team.

2017 was another successful year for the Club both on and off the field/playing arena. On field the highlight of course was our Senior Football Team winning their second flag in three years. This year the team was captained by Old Collegian, Ben Capra and it was pleasing to see that the vast majority of our team were graduates of our junior programs. The balance of our football teams also performed admirably with well over 50% playing finals footy. A special thanks to our Junior Coordinator, Paul Northey for his outstanding work managing our 17 junior teams this year.

their sleeves and volunteer their time. Thanks so much.

Again this year we have assisted the Michael Carmody Foundation in their great work by raising $10,000 for bursaries at St Joseph’s College, Nazareth PS and Simonds College. Congratulations to the Carmody family, Kristen Gleeson and Nick Maxwell for all of their great work.

Finally, to the St Joseph’s school community, the club is very proud of our St Joseph’s College heritage and what SJFNC has evolved into since established in 1973. Whilst, quite rightly the days of students virtually being told that “you will play with St Joey’s” have gone, the school community can rest assured that the SJFNC are very cognisant of and will always respect the values of the school community.

Todd Devine - President St Josephs Football & Netball Club

Our netballers also had a great year with our Senior Div 2 Team coached by Emily Post winning a flag whilst again well over 50% of the netball teams representing the club played in September. Well done to all involved and a special thank you to Fiona Threlfall who has again done an outstanding job as Netball Director.

As important as on field success is – we at SJFNC believe that what we do off the playing arena is equally as important.

We like to call it doing things “The Joey’s Way” and I couldn’t be prouder of the way that the players, coaches and administrators represent our club. Our club has a very good culture and is full of great people who are prepared to roll up

Year 10 Soccer With a strong squad of 28 boys we were keen to represent the College in the race for the 2017 ACC Premiership. We started off the season strong, beating Parade 3-2 in a hard fought victory after coming back from 2-0 down. Our next game was a bit more unfortunate after losing to one of the better sides, St Bernard’s 3-1. All the boys showed great spirit and sportsmanship which set the tone for our 8-3 win against Simmonds the following week. A finals spot was up for grabs in our round 4 fixture against Emmanuel. We had plenty of chances but finished with a heartbreaking 2-3 defeat. Although we knew we weren’t going to make the finals, we wanted to end the season strong in our last match against CBC St Kilda.

The boys had an extraordinary game winning 10-0. It was the highlight of the season. The season was a roller-coaster of ups and downs but it was definitely the best opportunity the boys and I have had all year. We can’t wait to represent the College at senior level next season. On behalf of everyone in the squad, I’d like to thank Mr Trupkovic and Mr Newton for giving us the opportunity to represent the College.

Senior Soccer The Senior Soccer program began in March with the exciting announcement of former Socceroo footballer Josip Skoko as the new head coach of the program, alongside his assistant Kene Eze, an American soccer player that plays at local NPL side North Geelong Warriors. After trials in early March, the boys were excited for a promising year to come.

The year began against 2016 premiers Mazenod in a tight clash on Carey Oval. Despite going 1-0 up early in the piece, the boys ultimately fell to a strong Mazenod side 1-3.Although disappointing to begin with a loss, the team showed plenty of fight and character, giving a glimpse of the season to come.

Throughout the rest of the season, there was a mixed bag of results. Highlights included the 6-2 win against St Bede’s to revive our finals hopes, as well as a rousing 4-1 win over eventual grand finalists St Bernard’s to seal a finals berth in front of a vocal home crowd on Carey Oval. The team finished third place on the ladder after seven home and away clashes, sending the Senior Soccer team to their first finals appearance since 2014.

Facing the reigning premiers Mazenod for the second time of the year provided the team with a difficult task in the semi-final.

A slow start allowed the opposition to score early, however the boys dug deep and found an equaliser before the half.

The second half was tightly contested, and Mazenod caught the team on the break to lead 2-1. Despite taking control of the game late and creating numerous opportunities, we were unable to find an equaliser, even hitting the cross bar in the dying minutes. The score ended at 1-2 with Mazenod progressing through to the Grand Final, and ultimately winning 5-1 over St Bernard’s.

Overall, the team had a fantastic season, showing plenty of improvement to make the finals, and pushing as a genuine premiership contender. A big thankyou to Mr Milverton, Mr

Newton and the North Geelong Warriors who have been the main drivers behind the revamped soccer program this year. Thanks also to the other staff that helped through the year, as well as Josip and Kene.

Basketball VICTORIAN COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIPS The Victorian College Championships has now become the major tournament for our College basketball teams. The event is run by Basketball Victoria. Qualifying rounds need to be won to attend the State Finals rounds at MSAC. For the first time in many years all the St Joseph’s College teams competed at the highest level in Division 1.

JUNIOR TEAM The Junior Division 1 team was a mixture of Year 7 and Year 8 students. Not playing much basketball together prior to the State Finals was going to make the finals a difficult day.

However, the boys acquitted themselves extremely well and were highly competitive in all their games. A highlight was beating Rowville SC. This school has a dedicated elite basketball program but our team played exceptionally well to beat this school for the first time ever in any age group.

Unfortunately, other results did not go our way and the boys just missed out on the semi-final round. The Junior Team finished overall in sixth place.

INTERMEDIATE TEAM The SJC Intermediate Team entered the VCC tournament in Division 1. During the regional round held at Werribee the boys managed to progress to the final. In this game the group played extremely well and qualified for the State Finals.

Unfortunately, some injuries occurred prior to the day of the Finals. Nevertheless, the boys were outstanding. Playing on points far less than all the other Division 1 schools, many of which run specialist basketball programs, the boys had an amazing day and qualified for the semi-finals. Although they fell at this hurdle a top four finish in Division 1 was a fantastic result. In fact, the highest Division 1 finish in this tournament for SJC. Congratulations to all involved.

SENIOR TEAM This year the Senior Team also played in Division 1, as a result of having many players who were playing representative basketball in 2017. The other schools in this division were exceptional and the boys were competing against some highly competent opposition. In the regional day at Werribee the boys were highly competitive in all their games and reached the semi-finals. Unfortunately, the semi-final wasn’t their best game and they did not progress to the next round. Special thanks to the Year12 boys in this group who represented the College for the final time. Many have played basketball for St Joseph’s in every year since they were in Year 7.

Finally, I would like to thank Mr Bryson Milverton, Sportsmaster, for his continued support and assistance with all our College basketball teams.

Cycling, Golf & Badminton It’s been another big year for our SJC cyclists, with boys competing in the Victorian Schools Cycling Championships western zone and state finals in both road and mountain bike disciplines.

The first event for the year was on Sunday 20 August, where 16 St Joseph’s boys joined 250 other students from all over Victoria at the You Yangs for the mountain bike Western Zone Final. We again had the most riders of any of the competing schools, with all boys riding the challenging course very well, demonstrating skill and determination as they fought for position in the large fields. Stand out rides on the day came from Cooper Jessen of Year 10 who fought hard in the lead pack to finish in 4th in the U/17 Racing category, Jack Grant and Lachlan Grist taking out 11th and 12th in a large field of U/15 novice riders and Issac Dow and Michael Leach coming in 5th and 6th respectively in the U/17 novice category race.

It was an excellent effort by these boys and all who competed on the day.

Next was the Western Zone Road Final, held on 13 September on the closed roads around Victoria Park in Ballarat. 16 boys made the trip to race across all age levels, with St Joseph’s again having the highest numbers of any of the competing schools on this day. All boys rode well in the challenging conditions, pushing hard in their races to represent the school well. Special mention goes to the following boys who placed themselves at the pointy end of the field in their respective races: U/15 male: Jack Doyle 2nd,Tom Burchell 3rd, Oscar McDonald 4th. U/17 male: Cooper Jessen 1st, Will Arblaster 3rd, Jake Stephens 5th. U/19 male: Jake McCorkell 1st Well done and congratulations to all boys who took part in these events! We look forward to an even bigger and more successful year in cycling in 2018!

Farewell after 20+ Years Frank is one of the longest serving teachers on staff, beginning in 1985.

Frank De Rosso 1985 - 2017

Maureen Bryant 1993 - 2017

Over this time, he has taught classroom music, directed ensembles and served as Arts Faculty Head. Frank is heavily involved as Artistic Director for Music at the Basilica which he established to promote the performance of excellent sacred music in Geelong. He is also the Principal Organist at The Basilica of St Mary of the Angels, Geelong. He graduated from The Victorian College of the Arts and then continued with further studies overseas. Frank has a strong interest in preserving the rich heritage of sacred music from many sources and periods. We wish Frank all the best for his retirement and future travels.

Maureen Bryant has been Personal Assistant to the last three Principals for a total of 25 years. She is also a mother of five boys who all attended St Joseph’s and as such, is an active member of the Josephines. The Adam Bryant Wellness Centre and the Adam Bryant House Shield are both named in memory of her late son.

The wonderful work of the Care Group in supporting our families is a direct result of Maureen’s work and her legacy will be the amazing care that she has ensured is provided to any boy or family struggling with illness or loss. In 2016 Maureen’s enormous contribution to the College and the community was recognised with the naming of the “Maureen Bryant Board Room”, a fitting and lasting reminder of all she has done for us. We wish Maureen a happy and fulfilled retirement with Greg and her family.

John Wilcox retires after 21 years of loyal service to St Joseph’s.

John has taught within the area of technology teaching boys hands on and practical skills in a variety of areas including evocatively titled units including “Gentlemen - start your engines” and “The Pit’s”. The B Block workshop is usually a hive of activity with metalwork, engine projects and more running throughout the year, with John always right in the middle of the action. John has taught multiple skills to many hundreds of boys and will be fondly remembered by them and his colleagues.We wish him John and his family health and happiness for the future

John Wilcox 1996 - 2017 After 20 years of dedicated teaching, we say farewell to our friend and colleague. Anne has been an inspiring teacher to so many, she is always available to assist and use her skills and knowledge of Art History to help students realise their creative abilities. She has been a mentor to staff and a fabulous member of the Arts Domain. Anne has always been happy to lend assistance to all staff and has been instrumental in developing curriculum to suit the complex needs of the students.

Anne Condon 1998 - 2017 122

Throughout her career, Anne has also been an active member of staff in a wide range of areas other than her current position as Senior Art teacher at the College including Homeroom, RE, Maths & Humanities and a variety of Coordinator and leadership roles.

We wish her many years of health and happiness as she moves into the next exciting phase of her life in retirement with her husband Peter. Anne, you will be sorely missed in the Arts!
