Possum Skin Cloak Our story began many years ago. The Old People sent this story to us. We heard them speak through our hearts to our spirits.

They told us what to do, they are still telling us what to do. Their message, our story, is to return the cloaks to our people, to reclaim, to regenerate, revitalise and remember. To remember what those cloaks mean to us and tell the stories of our People and Country.

Possum skin cloaks are one of the most sacred expressions of traditional South Eastern Aboriginal peoples. Cloaks are vessels for the body and spirit, they connect people with Country and community, they offer pride, dignity and respect. At the same time, cloaks can be one of our most intimate belongings.

Making a cloak is a physical, spiritual and emotional journey that requires patience, dedication and support of your Ancestors, Elders and family. Every person’s journey and relationship with cloaks will be ‘same, same but different’.

Cloaks embody and strengthen identity. The designs can represent Clan, Country, Dreaming, personal and contemporary identities and stories.

Welcome My Dear Friends It is a privilege to contribute these words for your Yearbook of 2020.

In the light of the COVID crisis, much has been said of the uniqueness and challenges of this year. The challenges have been enormous and there has never been a more difficult or disrupted school year.

During this time of great difficulty, your school community has been a beacon of hope for all. I have never been so proud of our schools as this year, when the care and compassion that we espouse in our stated mission, has been so visibly enacted in our school communities. Be very proud of your resilience, your care and compassion, your dedication to what is important. In the face of great challenge, your school has truly been an ornament to the vision of Edmund Rice and the priorities of our Gospel.

We are particularly proud of our final year students, whose valedictory year has been greatly compromised. Despite the challenges of off site learning and restrictions within society, our students have found a way to lead, to learn and to celebrate. This augers so well for their future success.

Our staff have been magnificent! In the face of great pressure and challenge, we must celebrate the extraordinary dedication and creativity of our staff. We are so proud of you and our profession is so much richer for the contribution that you have made.

Many of our families have undergone great hardship this year.

Thank you for staying with us and please know that we are with you in good times and in times of adversity.Your faith in Edmund Rice education is what sustains us and drives your school to be the best that it can be.

Finally, in my final time of offering these words, I am grateful for and rejoice in the vision that unites us all and challenges us to become more complete human beings through a Catholic education based on compassion, liberation and inclusion.

With much gratitude Wayne Tinsey, Executive Director Edmund Rice Education Australia

EREA Touchstones The Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) Touchstones challenge the St Joseph’s College community to strive for authenticity as a member of Edmund Rice Communities.

A touchstone is a fundamental or quintessential feature.

In earlier times a touchstone was used to judge the purity of precious metals. A streak left on the touchstone was compared with a streak made by the pure metal. Hence authenticity was verified.

LIBERATING EDUCATION

INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

We open hearts and minds, through quality teaching and learning experiences, so that through critical reflection and engagement each person is hope filled and free to build a better world for all.

Our community is accepting and welcoming, fostering right relationships and committed to the common good.

“Please don’t just tolerate me; try to understand me.”

“My hope is in your hands.Teach them to be a proud strong race.”

GOSPEL SPIRITUALITY

JUSTICE & SOLIDARITY

We invite people into the story of Jesus and strive to make his message of compassion, justice and peace a living reality within our community.

We are committed to justice and peace for all, grounded in a spirituality of action and reflection that calls us to stand in solidarity with those who are marginalised and the Earth itself.

“Please don’t hand me the scraps off your table.”

“How does it feel to have my Mother’s hand on your hands?”

Principal’s Report Welcome to the 2020 edition of the Virtus.

huge contribution to St Joseph’s and we are indebted to them.

Since 1935 the Virtus has faithfully recorded the collective and individual achievements of students and staff at St Joseph’s College. The first edition was published just as Australia emerged from the depths of the great depression.

Some five years later it reported the College’s achievements in a community fearing invasion and scarred by loss of lives in the Second World War. This Virtus records the 2020 achievements of this great College in the context of the first global pandemic since its establishment, the untimely deaths of students, restrictive state-wide lockdowns, remote learning and the onset of the most serious economic recession in Australia since the early 1930s.

As school commenced we welcomed back a small group of staff and students from the Catholic Youth Festival in Perth.

They returned and challenged us to ‘Listen to what the Spirit is saying” (Rev 2:7).This formed the basis of our Liturgy at the Mass celebrating the start of the school year. Unfortunately most other Liturgies throughout the year were also cancelled.

Many events reported on in past magazines have not taken place this year and hence many of the achievements, particularly in competitive spheres including sport, were not possible. I am proud to report however that during 2020 St Joseph’s students have continued to learn and achieve, sometimes with methods and outcomes that would never have been envisaged prior to this year.

At the commencement of the year, we welcomed new staff including teachers: Neal Arthurson, Viktor Ceburgs, Jane Emerick, Peter Griffin, Chris Lahey, Thanh Le-Rodda, Marnie Lunnon Johnson, Vanessa McCarthy, Julia Mitchell, Peter Osbourne, Ellie Purser, Natasha Scanlon, Aroon Tremul, Sean Trevaskis and Aaron Westgarth and support staff Heidi Andrews, Lauren Bermistrow, Jessica Chandley, Maddy Cole, Ashleigh Grant, Hayley Haynes, Sarah Klein, Lucy Liu, Lydia Watson, Nerida Zula, Jane Malone, Ryan Birthisel and Charlie Walter. Early in the year we also farewelled College Business Manager Terry Fowler and welcomed Andrew Dowd into this significant role. Midyear, Michelle Brodrick was appointed Principal of Loreto Ballarat. Both Terry and Michelle made a

Edmund Rice Day, when we celebrate our identity, and give practical expression to our commitment to the marginalised, was cancelled. The loss of the on site fundraising component reduced funds available to support our sister school in Kensekka Uganda, but many families generously contributed to provide tuition and meals for Kensekka students for some of the year. During Term 4 many staff chose to donate their social club contributions for the year and many families contributed to a Kensekka ‘Christmas Appeal’ to enable us to continue to support our brothers and sisters in Uganda into 2021.

In February we launched our ‘St Joseph’s framework for Learning’ to assist our young men become ‘future ready’.

Never was there a timelier document! Early in the year many parts of the state were devastated by bushfire. In addition to our community providing practical and financial support, our VCAL students were privileged to spend a week helping restore fencing on properties around Corryong in the North East of the state.

In March this year on site learning ceased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were challenged to find a way to teach and learn remotely. In an extraordinary testament to agile and creative thinking, experiential learning and hard work, we were teaching almost 15,000 classes a week online using dual platforms and a mixture of ‘real time’ and ‘any time’ learning after five days preparation. Quite an extraordinary achievement!

Principal’s Report This enormous exercise in change management would normally have taken years. I would like to record my great admiration for the staff who bought about this change, the students who adapted quickly to it and the families who supported it.

While challenged by the shut down of face to face learning St Joseph’s continued to be faithful to our commitment to those in need. During this time our support staff were on site preparing meals each day. These were donated to families in need within our school community and more broadly through local charities.

The COVID restrictions saw the adoption of many changes, some of which are likely to remain in place. Online parent student, teacher interviews are likely to be part of our future along with creative utilization of online communication technologies to overcome student, or teacher absences.

Some events however including Mothers Day and Father’s day Breakfasts are not as effective when held remotely and we look forward to being able to reinstate these in a face to face format.

During the year our community was devastated by the deaths by suicide of current students Tom Barnett and Abe Knox and immediate past student Louie Shearman.The devastation was real and lasting. There is no silver lining to the tragic death of a young person, however the St Joseph’s student body demonstrated a powerful capacity to empathise with and support each other. I have never felt more proud of young men than I felt while witnessing the open displays of emotion and support. Our College song exhorts us to strive for the highest ‘in a manly way’, never was ‘manliness’ more visible than in the grief and mutual support we witnessed during this time.

These events and the challenges of lockdown sharpened our awareness of and support for mental health and saw a focus on providing skills and information to students, staff and families. We received much support from a range of agencies but particularly Headspace.

Some of our normal annual events occurred this year. The inter-house Swimming Carnival saw victory to Butler with Brophy victorious in the Athletics after a lengthy ‘run of outs’. In a season where ACC sport was largely cancelled, our 1st XI cricket had an extraordinary season awarded with a shared Premiership after the final was cancelled. With an overwhelming lead in batting and bowling figures and five players in the ACC Team of the Year, a shared Premiership was deserved but somewhat bitter sweet.

The different groups supporting the College continued to have a major positive impact. The College Foundation was active in its 25th anniversary year and conducted the ‘A Step Towards His Future’ campaign raising 100k to support our Bursary Program. Another success following the ‘Every Boy Every Dream’ campaign which helped make possible the Westcourt Gymnasium and the refurbished Performing Arts Centre, both opened this year. The Old Collegians Association also contributed to the Bursary program and to the installation of an electronic screen / scoreboard on Zampatti Oval. The Parents and Friends planned events were cancelled and we look forward to their resumption in 2021.

The Josephines continued their commitment to Education support with their fundraising dinner in March.

Child safety, Indigenous reconciliation and sustainability remained an important elements of the College. We moved further toward the reduction of plastic use with changes to the canteen and opened our polymer recycling centre which enables recycled material to be used to produce items that can be used in the College. The planting of endemic species around Carey Oval continued. Many of our students also participated in the School Strike for Climate locally and in Melbourne.

Our commitment to reconciliation with our first nations people continued with the formal launch of the Possum Skin Cloak and the development and implementation of our Reconciliation Action Plan.

A number of childsafe initiatives were implemented through the work of our child safety team. We moved away from a focus on compliance toward a culture of child safety.

Students were part of this process and contributed to the development of a student friendly version of our childsafe policy and documentation. I am proud to report that there has never been a time where students are safer at St Joseph’s.

In this extraordinary year no individual group of students were more challenged than our VCAL or and VCE students in their final year of schooling. With many ‘right of passage’ events cancelled, from Edmund Rice Day to Graduation, opportunities to celebrate their achievements at St Joseph’s were limited. A truncated and extended year in which final assessments were delayed with VCE results published on 30 January the following year, tested the resolve and perseverance of students.

The results across the College were consistent with those of recent years and reflect well on the hard work of students and dedication of teaching staff.

While these results focus on VCE students, I would also like to acknowledge the successes of our senior VCAL students all of whom successfully completed their VCAL certificate and have begun full-time apprenticeships and further education, or full-time employment. Congratulations to Will Holdsworth who was awarded the VCAL High Achiever Award.

At the higher end of our VCE results 9.5% of students achieved an ATAR greater than 90 and 25% achieved an ATAR greater than 80, 9.3% of students achieved study scores of 40+. These numbers were slightly down from the 2019 cohort and similar to those of the 2018 group.

Congratulations to 2020 College Dux, Clancy Hehir who achieved an ATAR of 99.65, and to ‘podium finishers’ Patrick Day (99.55) and Luke Dowd (99.25) with Liam Bindokas fourth highest (99.05).

Congratulations to the following students who achieved the perfect study score of 50: Clancy Hehir (English Literature), Liam Bindokas (Further Maths), Luke Dowd (Chemistry) and Campbell Burns (Business Management).

Scores of 49 were also achieved by Patrick Day (History Revolutions), Luke Dowd (Physics) and Lochlann Dess (Year 10, Further Maths).

I would like to congratulate every student who achieved their VCE regardless of their study scores and ATAR. A ‘2020’ VCE is a powerful statement of a young person’s ability to persevere through adversity and overcome challenge. While academic achievement is important and ATAR a stepping stone to a Tertiary goal, the capacity to overcome adversity is a critical skill for thriving in one’s career and life.

It was a difficult year to be a student leader with few opportunities for students to gather but our student leadership group including College Captain Freddie Dripps and Deputies Matt Issell and Jolyon Simpson led effectively with authenticity strength and compassion.

I would like to acknowledge and express my gratitude to those members of staff charged with providing leadership throughout 2020. The work of Deputy Principals Michelle Brodrick and Mark Kennedy has been exceptional. Michelle led the implementation of remote learning in first semester while Mark led the wellbeing focus as the community responded to tragedies, before adding the leadership of learning and identity to the wellbeing portfolio for the second semester.

Andrew Dowd has been outstanding in his role as business manager having taken over from Terry Fowler whose skill and

integrity in that role for 12 years has been the benchmark for business managers across the EREA network.

Michelle Bishop has met the myriad of challenges related to remote learning with professionalism, John Mitchell has done an outstanding job in the organisation portfolio when the rules under which we operate were changing, often on a weekly basis. In all of this year our anchor is our identity as an Edmund Rice School inspired by the Gospels. Mary Malone and her identity team have kept us faithful to this. Our heads of school Simon Piasente, Mark Deverall and Cassie Gleeson have led from the front along with Jess Gunning and Kerry Drever (student services), Mark Turner (educational support), and curriculum leaders Brad Smith, Lauren Hall, John Harmon and Brendan Reed.

On a personal level I would like to thank my PA, Adele Watt who in addition to her administration work was the face of the College to many families suffering bereavements and hardship throughout the year.

I have been grateful throughout the year for the wisdom and guidance of the College Board. In particular I thank Board Chair Mrs Joanne Van Slageren, executive members Barry Knight and Mark Nicholls and members Andrea Kelly, Barny Lee, James Crough, Mark Appleford, Chris Hickey, Shona Casey-Eland and Br Roger Cripps. At the end of 2020 the Board farewells James Crough, Mark Nicholls and Br Roger Cripps. All have provided great service and I would particularly like to acknowledge Br Roger who departs after 13 years during which he has been a passionate advocate for student wellbeing and provided a concrete link to our roots as a Christian Brothers school.

I thank all who have provided support and positivity to the College during this extraordinary year. I hope you enjoy the 2020 Virtus.

Tony Paatsch, Principal

College Leaders College Captain’s Report

Deputy Captain’s Report

2020 was to be the final journey of our 13 years of schooling.

In many ways, 2020 has been a year of many beginnings.

Returning to school in October was like starting school all over again. No one could have anticipated or ever dreamed of what would have filled this year. And no one could have predicted the unique impact this had on us individually and as a community.

Throughout our time at St Joseph’s and particularly in this last crazy year we have had a tremendous amount of support from a number of staff who have done so much work behind the scenes to help facilitate the initiatives and aid in the ideas of our student leadership team to come to fruition. So thanks are in order for making our time at St Joseph’s and in particular our time as leaders so very special.

It has given the leadership team an opportunity to consolidate both the leadership structure and the addition of vertical homerooms. This year the importance of being there for not just our Year 12 cohort, but for our house mates from all year levels has been pivotal in how we have banded together as Joey’s boys.

To Mrs Drever, Mr Querella and Mr Crook, on behalf of the entire leadership team we would like to express our gratitude for the continued support throughout the years. Thank you for the commitment and dedication you have shown in the leadership team and continuing to challenge us to become the best leaders we can be.

Being College Captain this year has been a predominantly silent and unseen role, but it has taught me the importance of leadership by service to others. Besides school athletics and swimming sports, there has been no opportunity for big showcase events. As disappointing as no TriUMPH festival or Edmund Rice Day may have been, the opportunity to stand alongside my peers in the more challenging areas of mental health and isolation are what I have found most significant.

Watching emerging leaders find their calling in such a complex set of circumstances has been truly humbling.

To Mr Paatsch and Mr Kennedy thank you for not only being great role models but great advocates in what we have wanted to achieve as a leadership team. You always had your doors open (when we were actually on Campus) and never let an email go unanswered if we had any questions or we needed steering in the right direction.

I am proud to be able to reflect on the culture of St Joseph’s and what it means to be a Joey’s boy. We have a strong sense of identity showing the College values of Compassion, Innovation and Integrity. Building on this we have strived to guide students to be ‘Strong in mind, gentle in heart.’ This year we have embraced the vulnerability that comes with such uncertainty and continue to build resilience that will see us tackle future challenges with confidence, knowing that we are not alone on our journey.

This has been a partnership. I want to acknowledge the role Matthew and Jolyon have played in helping to pilot such unfamiliar territory. The support, compassion and mateship that the three of us share is one of the greatest gifts that this year has provided.

Freddie Dripps, College Captain

To Ms Gleeson who has supported the Year 12s, not just leaders but the entire year level in the extremely tough year it has been. Your incredible work does not go unnoticed and we are so thankful for the support that has come our way as we finish our time at St Joseph’s. As a leader for the whole of Mt Sion you are truly inspiring and have allowed us to become the best men we can be.

To the House Leaders – Mr Hale, Mr Walsh, Mr Prendergast, Mrs Flint and Mr Holt, we admire your dedication to your positions and the passion to strive for a greater House and school culture. Through the work that you have done over the last couple of years you have created a passionate House spirit which is welcoming and supporting and allows boys to reach their potential.

To the Class of 2020, we have been thrown an absolute curve ball this year. Through all this we have come out the other side as greater men and have taken this unprecedented year in our strides. Thank you for being role models, peers, supporters, teammates and most of all great mates. We could not ask for anything more and the bond that we have forged since the beginning is one that will never be broken.

Jolyon Simpson, Deputy College Captain

Deputy Captain’s Report

Justice & Solidarity Prefect’s Report

I think I can speak for the whole leadership group when I say that 2020 was not the year that we had planned. For many of us the year that promised celebrations, hope and excitement was quickly swept away for something unrecognisable.

The coronavirus is a life force, an organic being that morphs and changes like our own desires and whims. We are not fighting a war against a biological entity. We are not taking up arms against a living thing. We are learning from it, letting the virus be our teacher and accepting that we humans are its humble disciples. If the world is our classroom, then Mother, earth is our teacher and we are the students. The Australian continent and the globe more broadly, from the Andes to Antarctica is undergoing a climatic upheaval that threatens the existence of multiple species around the planet including ourselves. We are passionate about this issue and want to make a carbon positive contribution to this school; that is to ensure St Joseph’s, as the largest Catholic boys school in Geelong, fosters a healthy environment both amongst the student body itself and in our local ecologies. St Joseph’s is an institution with a great deal of potential to be at the cutting edge of the groundswell in this sphere. With the Barwon River situated below the school, the coast not far away and with a view looking out over Corio Bay and the grassland plains, we have a unique geographic perspective on the diverse ecosystems that sustain us as people.To make the most of such inspiring surrounds we feel it is integral to instill a cultural attitude of regeneration and ecological awareness.

Thus, the school plans to implement in the near future methods that will reduce the amount of plastic in student lunches, engage the cohorts with nature and the soil through vegetable gardening, tree planting and other programs, whilst also cultivating a political consciousness in the students regarding action on climate change. We understand that not all the students who attend climate strikes will be exemplars of how to live a truly harmonious existence, cohabiting with nature but we feel that St Joseph’s has a great deal of people power to harness. Justice and Solidarity is the name of our Touchstone and we feel like this is synonymous with having justice for all races and indeed all life. We want to stand in solidarity with our brothers, sisters and fellow species on the planet.

Tasked with the role of leading in a year like no other, the Leadership Team evolved into something never seen before, setting up various Zoom meetings, videos and online challenges to bring us all together in a year that attempted to keep us apart. The many leaders, including my fellow Captains Freddie and Jolyon, exemplified the definition of a true Joey’s Boy. I cannot speak higher of the 2020 Leadership Team for their courage to adapt and keep the SJC spirit alive.

Being a Deputy College Captain has been a rather humbling experience this year. While it was my goal to develop connections with each and every student at St Joseph’s, I am rather disappointed to reflect that I wasn’t able to achieve that goal. Building connections and relationships cannot be done through a screen, which shows the true value of the little moments that are often overlooked by us all.

I believe this year has shown that leadership is not about who is able to give the best speech, who has the most friends or is who deemed most popular.This year has shown us that every single one of us are leaders in our own right. True leaders this year were those who were there for their mates during the tough times, and I believed many of us at SJC stepped up to the challenge.

While I am so incredibly grateful for my time at St Joseph’s, I believe myself and the Year 12 cohort are ready for our next adventure in life. While I am truly saddened leaving SJC, I am confident that the next group of leaders will carry on the tradition of what it means to be a Joey’s boy.

Matthew Issell, Deputy College Captain

While the dilemmas humanity faces are serious and daunting we realize that it is basic human connection with nature and other people that will perpetuate our existence. Thus, we want to help make St Joseph’s a leading example in good regenerative practices and natural awareness.

College Leaders INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY & HOUSES 2020 presented us with many challenges. Starting off the year strong the St Joseph’s community came together to fill an entire mini bus full of long-life items and toiletries for victims of the 2019 bushfires. What started as a rainy summers day, then turned into an absolute ripper for the SJC Swimming Carnival with Butler taking out the top spot, followed closely

by Jordan. The Manu Bomb was a crowd favourite on the diving boards.

Butler had a cracking start to the year and came into Athletics Day as red-hot favorites. However, Brophy’s energy was too much for the other houses to handle, ultimately proving the deciding factor as they came away with the win, cementing themselves as a dynasty in the memories of students for many years to come.

Term 1 ended prematurely with the school community stunned by the announcement that Term 2 would be undertaken remotely. Upon returning, the Year 12 cohort came together and held lunchtime sessions where we could open up about our feelings, and as quoted by many, it was the most powerful collaboration within a year level that we had ever seen. We became more than just a year level. We became a group of strong young men, who had come together with one goal, breaking down the stigma around men’s mental health.

A team of students, staff, old collegians, dads, uncles, brothers and nephews were brought together during the Stage 2 lockdown by the Mullets for Mental Health campaign. Led

by Year 11 Student Anton Ridgeway, the Headchecks team raised over $26,000 for mental health services provided by the Black Dog Institute. The group gained attention with notable characters such as The Streets Barber, Eamon Sandwith from The Chats and Andrew Scott from Surf Trash who offered their services to boost awareness for the cause.

In October, we saw a light at the end of the tunnel as we returned to school for a final few weeks together, with many of us no longer looking forward to major milestones and events but looking forward to enjoying time and experiences with our mates for the last time.

Any normal person would say 2020 has been the worst year on record, yet as a school we made it one of our best. From the darkest times the brightest in everyone emerged, as we mingled with other year levels and made new friends we managed to turn a bad situation into a learning opportunities and made lasting memories along the way.

Terry Goodkind once said, “If the road is going easy, you’re going the wrong way” and this statement certainly rings true for the peculiar year that is 2020. There have been many tragedies that have struck our school this year and unfortunately, all year levels have been affected in one way or another.

However, if we dissect these hardships, we also find many opportunities to grow, be happy, and nurture newly formed bonds of friendships.

Despite the difficulties of COVID-19 and online learning, the student leadership team continued to ensure fellow students were maintaining good mental health practices. Restrictions had not allowed us to simply go to a friend’s house to check up on them, so we had to adapt. As a group, the leaders brainstormed and produced several activities and forums.

These included creating a year level Facebook group, which allowed boys to engage with each other and share positive messages. The team produced several videos, which focused on the importance of going beyond social media to check up on your mates. Remote learning study tips and cyber safety tips were also emphasised. In the short amount of time we had at school, the team had big impact in bringing the year level together by presenting actions we can take as a group to form a closer cohort. We were able to attach ourselves to established events like RUOK day to focus on Mental Health and checking in on your mates with the goal to stay connected.

A consistent theme across the year has been a collective admiration for the strength of the Joey’s community as we have pulled through, and not only made it through the year, just scraping by, but rather undeniably matured, learned and progressed as young men. One of foremost principles of why the students have been able to maintain resilience, has been how well so many of the young leaders who don’t yet have a badge contributed to the many different programs lead by student leaders which aimed to help students digest the adversities of this year and will continue to do so moving forward.

During wellbeing periods, professional psychologists and staff have spoken to us and facilitated discussions that enabled an understanding that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, providing all students with pathways to keep striving for the highest. The Student Leadership team have developed several initiatives with the focus to change the stigma around asking for help and reiterate our belief that it is not weak to speak. These programs have assisted students to check up on their friends and look after their own physical and mental wellbeing through the foreign experience of home learning and isolation, demonstrating every situation truly is what you make of it.

The obstacles faced throughout 2020 provided everyone, not just the SJC community with an opportunity for growth, and we are able to proudly say these challenges did not define us, but rather helped forge the strong bonds felt between the Year 11 cohort as well as across the school.

One of the focuses from the school throughout online learning was utilizing time for exercise. The wellbeing program, developed by the PE faculty, was a massive hit with everyone.

The engaging and fun program kept students busy and healthy.

The Leadership body also tried to drive getting out as much as possible, encouraging ‘running 8 with a mate’ on a few occasions along with many other initiatives. The wellbeing program ensured students remained in a good mindset and ready to learn. This also enabled, in some cases, being able to meet up with a mate to get some exercise, which was vital in enjoying your time at home.

Our Wellbeing The words unprecedented, lock down, cases, quarantine and social distancing have been words that have dominated our vocabulary this year, but I feel the word ‘wellbeing’ has also found a place in the common vernacular of 2020. Whilst this year has presented many challenges for us as a community I feel the wellbeing of our students, staff and families has been our main priority with any of the College’s deliberations, decisions, responses and initiatives. COVID-19 has not allowed us to gather and communicate key messages and instructions to our students and we have spent nearly as much time learning from home as on site, but we still believe there has been a positive shift in the culture at St Joseph’s especially when it comes to looking out for our own and each others physical and mental wellbeing.

We are especially proud of the student voice and the positive impact the boys have had on each other. The sad and unfortunate deaths by suicide of Tom Barnett (Year 11), Louie Shearman (former student – Year 11) and Abraham Knox (Year 9) resulted in much grief and trauma for our community.

Reacting to the pain that seems to be bubbling below the surface for so many, students took a stance and called Cricket Pavilion lunch-time meetings where they demanded better standards of each other, specifically - speaking up, sharing their vulnerabilities and showing general support for each other. The theme “Strong in Mind, Gentle in Heart” is the motto the boys take with them when they speak to the younger and future Joey’s boys.

The initiatives listed below provide a snapshot of some of the activity that occurred during the year. It is sound testimony to the efforts of staff and students establishing strong relationships together, to drive action forward. Our Student Leaders stepped into a space never occupied before, working together from personal isolation at home, but reaching out to their community in extraordinarily powerful ways.

• Posisocks were gifted to our Year 11 students, a physical reminder from Richmond Football Club Captain, Trent Cotchin of the power of positive thinking.

• The SJC Old Collegians teamed up and created uplifting and inspiring videos of support that complemented their movement towards being more open about their feelings and encouraging help-seeking, in and amongst the strong SJC community.

• The Mullets for Mental Health received resounding support in the Term 3 Remote Learning phase, and our Health & Wellbeing activities during lockdown

10

students were able to raise close to $30,000 for suicide prevention and awareness through The Black Dog Institute.

• Our VCAL department made a healthy partnership with Barwon Health which involved the Year 12 VCAL students completing a unit of work of Men’s Mental Health and contributed to the #shakaupformentalhealth campaign.

• The ‘Movement’ program that was developed by the SJC Health and Physical Education Department promoted day by day themes and workshops for students, staff and families in which to get involved. This program certainly added great benefit in our Remote Learning 2.0 and even showcased guest participants where our Principal and Deputy Principal were put through their paces.

• Our community benefited from a range of excellent webinars that complemented National Child Protection and e-Safety week. Project Rockit delivered a range of online webinars to the Westcourt students that focussed on “Looking out for each other online” and “Taking positive action with digital wellbeing.”

• We had a strong response to the webinar “Supporting Adolescents to Make Positive, Safe and Responsible Choices on Line.” Hosted by SJC - it was very insightful and helped both educators and parents understand the support we are provided by the eSafety Commissioner who took the time to personally speak in the webinar.

• The special screening premiere of the film ‘Angst’ also proved to be an amazing experience for all involved. This was another opportunity for our families to sit with their sons and learn more about the anxiety that occurs in our lives.

• The SJC Toilet Rejuvenation Project has commenced, the College is re-imagining the toilet facilities through the use of inspirational quotes, functional artwork and colour psychology.

As we move towards the end of the year, key wellbeing staff are shaping and moulding the programs that we will be offering in 2021. Below is a snapshot of the Year 7-12 wellbeing program.

For our Year 7 and 8 students, the College have engaged with personnel from The Resilience Project and are at present involved in training programs to facilitate learnings from Hugh Van Cuylenburg’s project, embedding notions of Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness into our Waterford students’ ways of seeing themselves and the world around them. Our Year Posisocks helping to share positivity each day!

8 students will also engage with the Life Changer Program, building on positive self-image through the five essential pillars of Health, Skills, Self, Purpose and Tribe.

At Westcourt, the focus is very much centred around the Victorian Government’s Respectful Relationships program, and the boys begin to question their own identity through entrenched notions of masculinity, as well as begin to engage in thoughtful approaches to sexual relationships.

Our Mt Sion students continue to ask questions around masculinity, and define what it is to be ‘a Joey’s Boy’ who is encouraged through the school song to ‘strive for the highest in a manly way.’ We recognise and endorse the best qualities of manhood, work towards effective conflict resolution and use the opportunity they have in an all-boys’ College to form

the powerful bonds that are so important to good mental health for our future men of the 21st Century.

2020 has highlighted that learning and wellbeing are inextricably linked - students learn best when their wellbeing is optimised and they develop a strong sense of wellbeing when they experience success in learning. 2020 has also highlighted the importance of partnership between the home, school and student and our families should be congratulated for the support you have shown throughout the year. Finally, SJC will continue to strive to create positive respectful cultures and embed student wellbeing in all aspects of school life.

That is through the connection of the learning environment, the curriculum and pedagogy, our policies, procedures and partnerships, enabling all to ‘live life to the full’ - (John 10:10).

Mark Kennedy, College Deputy

Our Learning Staff and students have faced and overcome many challenges to teaching and learning this year at the College. With two extended sessions of remote learning we have had to reinvent our notions of what learning in the classroom looks and feels like. We have not always been successful but what we have been is resilient, persistent, reflective and adaptable.

Our first remote learning session saw a quick move toward the greater use of technology, as staff were forced to use many platforms and IT tools that they had never used before.

Our IT department went into overdrive and successfully supported staff and students through this massive learning curve. Our staff rose to the challenge and began what was to become, a new type of teaching and learning. By the second remote learning session we felt like we were more in control and had learnt little tips and tricks and some of us were wondering how we could use those learnings to better the educational outcomes for our students in the future.

There will never be anything that will replace the relationship that teachers establish with their students in the classroom and it was wonderful to welcome our students back again in Term 4. However, there is something to be said for the flexibility that comes with remote learning. It can provide some students with the opportunity to really show agency and those skills that they need to face the world beyond school. Remote learning forced some students to step up and take control of their own learning, to stop relying on the Mullets 4 Mental Health

teacher to be the purveyor of all knowledge and to recognise that the answer is at their fingertips. They just need to look for it.

We will be recognising the great work of some of our students who have achieved above and beyond our expectations in the remote learning sessions at the upcoming Waterford and Westcourt Awards. Staff will be nominating students at each year level who have displayed a high level of adaptability and agency, and who were able to self-manage their learning successfully. These students communicated clearly with their teachers and collaborated well with their peers, reflected on their learning at the end of units, and presented their best work with regularity. These students put in consistent effort and really did strive for the highest.

As we move toward 2021, we recognise the challenges of this year and we acknowledge the significant work completed by our students and staff. The future of our learning may be shaped and changed by our experiences as we use what worked well during remote learning and meld it with our more traditional practices to support our students needs more fully in the future. The future learning for St Joseph’s College will be an exciting one!

GOSPEL SPIRITUALITY

Identity & Faith At St Joseph’s College, we are committed to nurturing the educational, spiritual and emotional wellbeing of our students.

Our Identity Team have banded together throughout the year to make our College values of Compassion, Innovation and Integrity come alive in the actions and words of our community through the enactment of our Edmund Rice Touchstones of Inclusive Community, Gospel Spirituality, Liberating Education and Justice and Solidarity.

During a year of great challenges, as a community, we have been grateful for the ability we have had to support one another to be able to teach and learn remotely. This enabled us to stay connected and positive as we strived to keep peace in our homes while embracing new and innovative ways to learn. We have had to create a liberating education for all to access. Our remote Edmund Rice Day Liturgy this year explored a theme, which helped us to look out our window with hope to see those most in need in our community.

We pray that in each of our own families and communities, may we be open to the spirit of Blessed Edmund moving in our midst to bring simplicity, humour, humility and warmth to the relationships we share as we reflect on the year of 2020.

One of the important goals of the EREA was to lead and encourage schools in our network to promote and engage with reconciliation through the Narragunnawali RAP process.

As one of our St Joseph’s strategic goals, we developed a working party lead by Deputy Principal, Michelle Brodrick in partnership with Reconciliation Australia to create our own RAP, which supports inclusive practice in schools for all students and staff walking the journey towards reconciliation.

We have some great reconciliation practice happening in our school in which we need to continue to celebrate and share within our community as we continue to implement our Reconciliation Action Plan throughout 2021 and beyond.

The dream of our Westcourt Gym came alive on 21 February when members of our community gathered at the Commencement Mass to officially, bless and open it, officiated by Fr Joseph Panackal. It also had great significance as we celebrated the commencement of our 85th year as St Joseph’s College.

This year our Easter Liturgy took on a different format, as we met remotely in our Religious Education Classes to celebrate the new life and hope that Jesus rising to new life on Easter Sunday gifts us. We were reminded that the sacred is to be found in everyday actions of how we live compassionately with those in our households and those loved ones we can reach out to in our digital world. We prayed for God to Fr Joseph Panackal

hear our voices and the prayers of our hearts as an online community of St Joseph’s College. To explore ways to be guided to see the most life-giving ways open to us, to be respectful and supportive of one another online and to those we live with.

Our Inclusive Touchstone Prefect Student Leaders, Oliver Henry and Lachlan Shoemaker shared a video message with our community, emphasising, our Inclusive Community Touchstone of how they will share with our Waterford students how we at St Joseph’s College have developed a culture of respect and acceptance of all. The importance of the language we use, the attitudes we display and the values we honour in welcoming all and embracing difference.

Student Advocacy - ERA for Change Representatives from our Justice and Solidarity and Gospel Spirituality Student Leaders joined in with students from twenty other EREA schools nationally participate in the ERA for Change Advocacy Launch Day to explore the theme ‘Laudato Si- Care for our Common Home’. ‘Laudato Si’ teaches us that, everything is connected. During this extraordinary moment, Catholics everywhere are uniting to reflect, pray, and prepare for a better future together. Not only was it a great opportunity to develop our advocacy and leadership skills, it also allowed for collaboration of ideas between students from schools across Australia. For me, this day also reaffirmed the amazing job that the community of St Joseph’s does, highlighting that St Joseph’s is definitely a model and leading Edmund Rice school and we are very lucky to be a part of it.

Lachlan Kelly, ERA for Change VIC Representative Annual Father and Son Time and Space for ‘Stepping Up’ Event In March, we were pleased to welcome Bill Jennings and his Time and Space Team to be a part of the successful Year 8 Father/Mentor and Son evening. These events can only run when we have the support of our student leaders and helpers who step up to gain service-learning hours. Bill noticed their helpful and positive attitude, his team and many parents have also commented on their participation.

The dads, grandfathers, older brothers or uncles of our students gather on this annual Year 8 event night for the boys as they witness them discussing what it means to them to be a dad or mentor and the importance of showing their son what ‘stepping up’ to be a good man is. Fathers emerged from the

night reassured and impressed by the way our students were able to speak up and share insights about their life. The night is fun too! It is full of activities and conversations that make them smile. They enjoy a unique gift – dedicated time with each other in the midst of the special inclusive community atmosphere that we have at St Joseph’s College.

Powerful. Important to hear the Year 8 boys and great to chat openly to other dads.

I got a perspective of what being a dad is like.

Me and my dad had a good chat.

I enjoyed sharing thoughts with my dad and having a good chinwag.

Good to share information about who my dad is and share positive experiences.

I really connected with my father.

I really enjoyed having quality time with my dad.

It really helped deepen my connection with my dad.

Just as for Edmund Rice, a loving Father and caring educator and for us, precious moments are experienced in our ordinary encounters as we have discovered during our times of various restrictions in lockdown. Here we get a glimpse of the extraordinary that we can store in our hearts and share at any time. Through these moments, may we stay connected with our loving Creator, and give generously from what we have for the good of others. May we, in each of our own classrooms and families continue to enjoy times prayerful quiet, resilience and resolve learned over the year of 2020.

May we all take fresh courage and ‘Live Jesus in our hearts, forever.’

Mary Malone, Acting Director of Identity

FAITH DEVELOPMENT Late last year, when many of us looked to the future filled with hope and the prospect of new beginnings, it would have seemed inconceivable to entertain the thought of what has actually transpired. Now, as we enter the final period of 2020, we understand more than ever the importance of nurturing our faith and belonging to strong faith communities.

Early in the year, we were blessed to have gathered as a school community with Bishop Mark Edwards to celebrate our College Commencement Mass at the Edmund Rice Campus. Following his experience of attending the Australian Catholic Youth Festival in Perth, Conor Killury began our mass describing how the festival reignited his relationship with Jesus and empowered him to advocate faith in the world today. Conor’s story, along with Bishop Mark’s homily, encouraged us all to ‘Listen to what the Spirit is saying’ (Rev 2:7), a theme that would stay with us through the challenges we were to face.

In February, our Year 9 students, along with many special guests, gathered to celebrate their opening Mass and to mark the official opening of the Westcourt Gymnasium. Fr Joseph Panackal, from St Mary’s Parish, celebrated the Mass.

Westcourt Captain Sol Bowtell, along with many other student leaders, represented the Year 9’s wonderfully and contributed to a truly reverent occasion.

Although all of our Renewal programs were impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, we were able to redesign them to fit into smaller class-based experiences. With a focus on having the ‘Courage to Care,’ the captains in Year 8 recorded a video montage and a liturgy from home that featured in the renewal presentation. It was very disappointing to have to cancel the Year 12 Renewal camps this year, and despite reshaping the central renewal experience into a full day at school, we were unable to deliver it with the second round of COVID-19 lockdowns.

Importantly, we spent Term 4 Touchstone classes encouraging reflection and gratitude by reminding them about love for themselves and their family. Using innovation and creativity, Sascha Wheelwright and Zakary Ekberg interviewed our guest speaker on Zoom about his experiences of homelessness.

This interview was an element of the Renewal presentation delivered to the Year 10 students centered on Social Justice.

This was followed by St Joseph’s very first inter-class liturgy via Zoom in Term 4.

JUSTICE & SOLIDARITY

Sustainability In response to Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si and his calling for all to “care for our common home”, Sir David Attenborough’s view suggests that “for people to care about the Natural World, they must first love and understand it”. The alternating Campus and home classroom setting throughout 2020, provided students the unique opportunity to connect with and learn about the natural world by witnessing the wildlife outside their windows and in their own backyard.

In addition, it enabled students to develop their awareness and responsibility for sustainable practices in the home.

Many students thrived with the new learning opportunities provided and student leaders including Lachlan Kelly, relished the opportunity to lead the way on climate action advocacy via a plethora of social media platforms.

With an ongoing commitment to increasing biodiversity in the school, Year 10 Environmental Science and VITA students planted a variety of indigenous saltbush species and Gold Dust Wattle on the North and South embankments of Carey Oval.

Year 7 Class Captains together with Senior Leaders, increased the biodiversity in the Restorative garden by introducing Rock Correa and Gold dust Wattle and Sustainability Leaders, together with VITA and ATSI students introduced indigenous food species into our new octagonal wicking bed planter boxes. Over 160 native trees were planted on the east embankment of Carey Oval, completing Stage 4 of the Cary Oval revegetation project. Some maintenance of Carey Oval embankments was conducted by students undertaking Enviroservice and new staff member George Devine (former student) and Raelene McMahon supported student initiatives by watering and maintaining various planter boxes throughout the College grounds.

Other projects that came to fruition throughout the year included; the implementation of a REPLAS recycled bench seat, the launch of a our Polymer Recycling Station and the installation of a new hothouse at the Edmund Rice Campus.

RECYCLED BENCH SEAT FROM REPLAS On Friday 14 February, Year 8 Sustainability leaders Damian Mohr and Lucas Powell led Year 7 students in thoughtful prayer as we commissioned our first recycled bench seat.

Made by the Melbourne based company, REPLAS using approximately 20,000 pieces of recycled soft plastic, the bench seat show cases our commitment toward circular economy.

The inclusion of an eagle in the back of the seat signifies the Wadawurrung people’s Creator Spirit - Bunjil.The new bench seat is located outside the Peter Chanel Centre, enabling students and staff to sit, reflect, take in the surroundings and admire “Bunjil’s creation”

“TAKE 3” With a little food incentive, students and staff alike were happy to volunteer and “Take 3” for the Sea to keep the school grounds clean during the Athletics Carnival on Friday 28 February. It was heartening to see so many students willingly participate and without instruction, cementing the notion that “Take 3” is becoming ubiquitous with the SJC culture.

CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY On Sunday 1 March, volunteers across Australia, joined forces to remove rubbish from public areas including; parks, waterways, roadsides etc. Our SJC volunteers once again joined the Friends of Waurn Ponds Creek to clean up the embankments of the Waurn Ponds Creek near the shopping centre, baseball oval, skate park and swimming complex. Congratulations to the following families for their commitment and efforts throughout the morning; Elphinstone, Power, Saba, Salmon, and Sacred Heart families.

POLYMER RECYCLING CENTRE LAUNCH On Thursday 11 July, Principal, Tony Paatsch, officiated the launch of the recently installed polymer reforming machinery together with special guest Ashley Pittard, Executive Officer, Barwon South West Waste and Resource Recovery Group, Year 11 VCAL students and several staff members. The machinery incorporating a CR Clarke Granulator and Sheet Press, together with a Vacuum Former (located in Systems Technology), will enable students to realise our goal of moving toward a circular economy, by reforming single use plastic items (including number 2 and 4 bottle tops) into creative, practical and purposeful new products, diverting them from a landfill or ocean destination.

Staff members Ms Michelle Anderson and Ms Kate Wells facilitated the first Year 11 VCAL classes to utilise the machinery and Mr Shane Dawson’s Year 10 VITA students, together with staff members George Devine and Raelene McMahon worked behind the scenes, undertaking the bottle top sorting process.

NATIONAL RIDE TO SCHOOL DAY Acknowledging the importance of carbon free travel and maintaining a physical lifestyle, the 2020 Sustainability Team held the National Ride to School Day on Friday 13 March. Building upon the success of the previous year, a total of 37 students rode their bikes to school- many receiving a free SJC water bottle and canteen voucher. Events like the National Ride to School Day highlight SJC’s commitment to promoting a sustainable future, as well as helping to encourage a healthy lifestyle.

SCHOOLS TREE DAY AND NATIONAL TREE PLANTING DAY PROJECTS On Monday 27 July, Senior Leaders, Sustainability Leaders, and VITA and ATSI students planted indigenous bush foods and plant species next to the Careers building. The planting is a symbolic moment for St Joseph’s College as it represents a form of reconciliation, acknowledging the cultural, spiritual and natural heritage of Indigenous Australia. Indeed, one species in particular, known as the Yam Daisy (Microseris lanceolata) or ‘Murnong’ was a staple food in the diet of indigenous people. Following colonization and the introduction of European cattle and sheep, the once widespread food crop was devastated. By cultivating this food-crop, which bears many similarities to a potato in European society, St Joseph’s College is helping to assist an age-old cultural and agricultural tradition. Other bush foods planted on the day include Kangaroo Apple (Solanum laciniatum) which typically grows along riverbanks and colonised disturbed ground, Midyim Berry (Austromyrtus dulcis), Seaberry Saltbush (Rhagodia candolleana), Bower Spinach (Tetragonia implexicoma) and Karkalla (Carpobrotus rosii) which grows in the sand dunes on the coast and has an edible fruit.

Planting these species provides habitat by enhancing ecological diversity and drawing pollinators and birds on to the Campus.

It also provides nourishment for the students and staff at the College. These plants yield food thus providing material sustenance and the activity of planting them nourishes students spiritually and culturally. With all that has occurred this year and the focus on student/staff wellbeing, getting into contact with healthy microbes (i.e. getting your hands in the soil) and cultivating some plants might just be the perfect tonic.

Patrick Day, Year 12 Senior Leader On Tuesday 28 July, several Year 7 Class Captains collaborated with Student Leaders to conduct planting in our Reconciliation garden adjacent to the Arts building. Facilitated by Student Leadership Coordinators Mr Ashley Crook and Mr Sam Querella, students joined our ASTI Coordinator, Mrs Sue Collins to plant Gold Dust Wattle (Acacia Acinacea) and Rock Correa (Correa Glabra) throughout the garden. The vibrant yellow flowers of the Gold Dust Wattle and delicate tubular red and yellow flowers of the Rock Correa, will enhance the garden, providing extra colour, symbolic to both our Indigenous heritage and our College identity.

Planting Indigenous Bush Foods

On Monday 3 August VITA students together with Mr Shane Dawson, continued works on the Carey Embankment Revegetation Project, planting approximately 30 trees including; Gold Dust Wattle (Acacia acinacea) on the north embankment and Lightwood or Hickory Wattle (Acacia Implexa) on the far west embankment.

CAREY OVAL REVEGETATION PROJECT What would arguably be one of the most challenging planting feats in our St Joseph’s College history, Graham Stockturn (West Coast Indigenous Nursery), together with Phillip Hunter, successfully planted 160 trees on the steep slopes of the east embankment of Carey Oval. In preparation, the seeds for our selected species were collected by Graeme in 2019 and were propagated to a viable size for planting this season. The species selected for the east embankment include; Drooping Sheoak (Allocasuarina verticillata); Lightwood (Acacia implexa); Melbourne Yellow Gum (Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp. connata) and Wedge-leaf Hopbush (Dodonea viscosa).

SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP This year, I’ve enjoyed my role as a Sustainability Leader for Year 7. I’ve always loved caring for the environment and it was great to be able to put it into action at my new school.

During these strange times, the simple things such as planting a garden at the start of the year and coming back each week to water and weed it was very relaxing. Coming back after remote learning, the plants have not only survived but grown well during COVID-19 (no doubt with a little TLC from the SJC Ground Staff.) It just goes to show despite all the difficulties we’ve faced, Mother Nature will find a way.

Kade Hyde, Year 7 During sustainability I have learnt how to how to maintain a garden and how to look after a worm farm. At home I have been planting corn and lettuce in my garden and I set up my own worm farm. I have learnt how to fertilize soil and what a pitch fork does.

JUSTICE & SOLIDARITY

Service Learning Reimagined Compassion, Innovation and Integrity were alive and well in the 2020 Service Learning program. Whilst Semester one was business as usual, the Identity Team got creative and reimagined the College outreach programs throughout remote learning.

Given the many challenges presented by the corona pandemic, a show of solidarity exhibited through volunteering allowed our students to remain socially connected whilst practising social distancing. It was vital for the students’ sense of purpose and connectedness that they continued to volunteer throughout the year.

During Semester 1 the Outreach Van was well supported by staff, students and parents. Members of the community experiencing homelessness and/or marginalisation accessed clothing, bedding, food and hot beverages every Sunday night as College members cruised the streets of Geelong in the Salvos minivan.

The last major sporting event to be held in Australia prior to the COVID-19 outbreak was the ICC Women’s World Cup T20 final on 8 March. Fifty students, accompanied by staff and parents travelled to the MCG to watch the Aussies beat India. As an added bonus, Katy Perry performed and it was all in celebration of International Women’s Day. Students wore purple, in recognition of the global awareness day. They were awarded service learning credit for representing the College at the event.

In March, the Year 11 VCAL students led by teacher Michelle Anderson, participated in service learning by volunteering in the bush fire relief efforts in Corryong and surrounds, notably the small town of Cudgewa, where 14 homes were lost. The students decided the best way to support a fire affected community was to visit that community, spend money there and put feet on the ground to help farmers fix hundreds of kilometres of burnt fencing. So…they did.

Students witnessed first hand the devastating effects of the fires and listened to the farmers’ stories. Most of their time was spent working on fencing, either removing and winding wire from burnt fences or building new fences. This was difficult work, but extremely rewarding. One example is, on the Wednesday a large team of students worked on a very steep slope to rebuild fencing that had been too hard for some other volunteer groups to tackle and too daunting for the farmers to do themselves. The team got over a weeks’ worth of work for the farmer done in just one day.

The boys’ reflections on their experience included the sense of privilege they got from hearing stories of loss and hope,

and sharing in some of the recovery experiences.

Every year we endeavour to offer new ways of serving our local community. This has never been as prevalent as in 2020 and our innovation was evident in the remote approach to the Winter Sleepout. In 2019, participant numbers doubled from 50 to 100 Year 7, 8 and 9 students sleeping over in the Gym. This year over 300 students across all year levels took on the challenge of sleeping rough in their own backyards and donating clothing and blankets to Lazarus Community Centre.

Some of the projects offered during remote learning were; messages of support and gratitude to St John of God health care staff, signing refugee petitions, surveys and feedback for the SJC Toilet Rejuvenation Project. Along with, cooking meals and donating pantry items to the College Care Group and OneCare. Students also learnt the lifesaving skill of CPR by completing Ambulance Victoria’s ‘Shocktober’ challenge.

While teachers and students were connecting online, Food Tech and Canteen Staff were on Campus cooking meals for donation to OneCare. The local agency was one of the only charities to continue offering assistance throughout restrictions and our food staff supported them by providing meals for the marginalised and socially isolated.

Teacher Jack Jenkins and the Year 12 VCAL students formed a partnership with Barwon Health and created the ‘Shaka Up for Mental Health’ campaign. Students gained service learning hours by sending a ‘Shaka’ to a mate as a welfare check in and donating $5 to men’s mental health programs in Geelong.

The motto “once a Joey’s boy, always a Joey’s boy” came to life when past students reached out through the social media campaign to send messages of support and hope to current students and the wider SJC community.This project provided us with another highlight in a difficult year by virtually bringing together past and present students.

Overall, this year’s commitment to service in the community is indicative of the unique and caring environment fostered at St Joseph’s College. Thank you to the students who showed initiative by assisting the elderly and socially isolated in their neighbourhoods by putting out bins, gardening and delivering groceries to neighbours. We are also grateful to the many students who demonstrated a commitment to serving others by accruing more than the three hours of compulsory service. Just as Edmund Rice saw a need in his community and responded, so too has the St Joseph’s community recognised the greater need in our own neighbourhood. Thank you to the staff, students and families.

Fight Against MND

Winter Sleepout

I raised a total of $1780 for the fight against MND. The highlight for me was receiving a personal message from Neil Danaher's family. My original plan was to make it a community event and do a public head shave. Then COVID hit and we changed the event to a Facebook live event.

Community service is important to me because we should all try to help others every day. Many people in our community are suffering from illness, disability and disadvantage.

During Winter Sleepout, I learnt about the conditions that homeless sleeping rough must go through each night. When I woke up, I was freezing cold and frost had settled on my face. It made me feel very sympathetic for those who have no choice but to do this.

Riding 21km a day for 21 days!

Cam Klein's little brother was born with Down Syndrome.

Cam usually volunteers his time to help out his Mum and other parents from the local Down Syndrome group. This year he heard about the 21 Your Way challenge and thought it was something he could participate in instead. Cam set himself a challenge to ride his pushbike 21kms a day for 21 days in October. When asked why he was doing the challenge, Cam said "My little brother Rowan is an awesome kid and I am proud to undertake a challenge like this to help raise awareness of Down Syndrome in the community and to raise money for an organisation that tries to do the same."

Kade Hyde, Year 7 Having participated in the Winter Sleepout before at SHC, I was really excited to share this experience with my little brother in his first year at Joeys. The Sleepout itself is truly a fantastic way to spread awareness and I think that the 2020 remote version stands as a testament to the organisers and participants dedication to the cause and our collective desire to make a change. , Bella Hyde (Kade s big sister)

Corryong Bush Fire Relief We stuck at it in the hot weather, worked as a team on both days, worked hard and well. If we were asked to complete a task, we would do it without thinking twice. We knew what had happened to the farmers over the Christmas break and how the fires had a massive impact on their lives.

We figured if we could spend a couple of days helping them out it could make a difference.

INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

Celebrating our Refugee Families St Joseph’s College is a school of diversity and inclusiveness.

We are extremely blessed to have refugee families contributing to our school community. Some have endured hardships we could never imagine but continue to share their stories of strength and determination to encourage others to live their best lives. We began our year with a Welcome Afternoon Tea held at the College. Refugee families, staff and students got to know each other and shared stories of hardship and hope whilst enjoying some sweet and savoury treats.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions we were unable to celebrate Refugee Week as a community at large but still managed to educate our staff and students as best we could. Staff and student leaders gathered in the Peter Chanel Centre to form a Solidarity Circle. The circle began as a line, this line symbolizing the barrier between danger and protection. This barrier may always exist but it can be changed and designed differently to support those seeking asylum. We then stood together in a circle, in solidarity, showing compassion for those facing extreme adversity and suffering. We represented hope and connectedness. Banners were unravelled from the

upper balcony with the powerful message of REFUGEES ARE WELCOME HERE. It was an extremely moving moment.

Although only a small gesture the impact within the group and audience was huge.

COVID-19 has affected many refugee families and those seeking asylum. Many have lost their jobs as a result of this, as they often work in the service sectors who have been some of the worst affected. As a school community, we held a Service Learning opportunity signing a petition to ensure adequate support is provided for people in this situation. The campaign is called ‘No Child Left Behind’. The students that signed the petition earned one hour of service learning and a house credit point.

As a school community, we are committed to justice and peace for all and together the actions of our hands, hearts and our voices in solidarity, bring peace in our world.

Di Makings, Refugee Co-ordinator 2020

Refugee Week Refugee week involves many important activities, including the Solidarity Circle that I was fortunate enough to be in. The experience was powerful and eye-opening and made me feel more empathetic for refugees and asylum seekers.

These are good human beings just like us, and we need to learn to be more accepting of others for who they are, and not where they come from Max Jones, Year 12 Leader With students holding up signs of hope and welcome in the Solidarity Circle, we showed unity, cohesion and connectedness. We know that we are all equal in the eyes of god and within the circle together we showed justice, empathy and kindness towards refugees and , asylum seekers. At St Joseph s we are lucky to have opportunities and to live in safety and with a hopeful future.

Education Support Lord Jesus open our minds to the needs of our fellow men…

Edmund Rice to Brother John Patrick Corbett, Carrick-on-Suir, 1835 With the challenges presented in 2020, the significance of these words from Edmund Rice some 185 years later still seems unquestionably relevant to the area of Education Support. The effects from the COVID-19 pandemic has not only been extensive in our society but also in the education of our young people. Trying to minimize its consequences for our most vulnerable while meeting their learning needs has been a strong focus for our Education Support Team in 2020.

In our continually evolving world it is reassuring we can rely on the constant care and professionalism underpinning the SJC Education Support Team. On behalf of all our Team I would also like to take the opportunity to wish all our Senior Students who are finishing their time at SJC all the very best in their future endeavours as they take their place in the world.

Mark Turner, Educational Support Coordinator Working in Education Support general area

We have 503 students funded through the NCCD (National Consistent Collection of Data) with varying needs ranging from the physical, social-emotional and cognitive, and 39 Education Support staff (either full-time or part-time) providing support over both our Edmund Rice and Westcourt cohorts. Concerted efforts to maintain learning continuity during remote schooling has meant that our Education Support Team have embraced and adapted to new technology platforms and modes of curriculum delivery. This has allowed our Team to best support and enable student education during both remote learning and on-site lessons. Much of this has been done with the added pressures of navigating the remote learning nuances of their own families. I am very proud of their commitment and skill in their roles as Support Staff and acknowledge this support is vital in maintaining a positive connection with many students during this most difficult time.

We are again very fortunate to have the dedication of the following teachers coordinating various year levels and overseeing the students’ wellbeing: Jackson Langhorne (Years 7 and 8), Marnie Lunnon-Johnson (Year 9), and Natasha Scanlon (Years 10, 11 and 12); along with Child Safety Officers John Stephenson (Waterford), Luke Parsons (Westcourt) and Kate McLaren (Mt Sion).

With our ever increasing need to support students across the College, their vast experience, care and professionalism in working with our parents and students is a living example of St Joseph’s College’s strong commitment to Pastoral Care and our EREA touchstones.

Our Boardroom also offers a separate space for senior students to work

INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Education We honour and respect the Traditional Owners of the Land on which St Joseph’s College stands, the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation, who have continued to educate their children since time of immemorial in this area. We thank the Wadawurrung people for passing on the stories of this Land and promise to honour their teachings. We pay our respects to Elders; past, present and future. We are inspired and nurtured by their wisdom, spirituality and experience.

We commit ourselves to actively work alongside the Wadawurrung people for reconciliation and justice.

“You are part of Australia and Australia is part of you.

And the Church herself in Australia will not be fully the Church that Jesus wants her to be until you have made your contribution to her life and until that contribution has been joyfully received by others.”

St John Paul II crafted this statement to light a fire in the hearts of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics that led to the establishment of Aboriginal Catholic Ministries and the creation of the FIRE Carrier Project that began with the dream of weaving Aboriginal culture, history and spirituality throughout the fabric of our Catholic Identity as we strive to become fully the school that Jesus wants us to become. Our FIRE Carriers for 2020 have continued to show commitment for laying strong foundations based on mutual respect and understanding and will continue this journey throughout 2021 along with the 2021 FIRE Carriers.

Launch of the SJC Reconciliation Action Plan In June of this year we celebrated the launch of our Reconciliation Australia Narragunnawali Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and unveiled our Possum Skin Cloak display.

Our RAP calls us to walk together along a pathway of mutual liberation by viewing our world through the lenses of Respect, Relationships and Opportunities. Just as Blessed Edmund Rice saw education as the key that opened the doors to a just world for all our Reconciliation Action Plan respectfully embeds Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our daily practices as we become a place that witnesses authentic reconciliation based on justice, equity, equality and healing.

One of the major projects of our RAP is to audit our current

20

curriculum to identify the extent to which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and contributions are already embedded, and to identify opportunities for strengthening the representation of this content in the curriculum. This process was strengthened when the staff participated in the First People’s Narrative workshop. A most powerful and moving experience for all staff as we listened to Kathy Travers and Aunty Sue Collins share their story of the stolen generations. It proved to be a deeply moving opportunity for development of cultural competency through a process of “unlearning of the colonial narrative” and relearning through the lens of compassion as the motivating force necessary for the building of a culturally safe learning environment where all members of our community learn together through a curriculum that has been liberated from the injustices and untruths of colonisation.

Possum Skin Cloak Display Kaleb Owen is a proud Taungurung man and the 2019 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Captain and the initiator of the College Possum Skin Cloak project. A sacred expression of traditional South Eastern Aboriginal peoples. Kaleb could see the value and significance that the presence of a Possum Skin Cloak would have for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, their families and for all members of the wider community.

Mitch Mahoney is an emerging artist and a descendant of the Boon Wurrung and Barkindji peoples of south-eastern Australia and acted as our Cloak Facilitator. The students learnt every aspect of the preparation and the making of the Cloak. Kaleb and Mitch spent a great deal of time helping and encouraging the boys to decide on their own individual symbol that would be added to the cloak. All of the boys came to understand the importance of the legacy that they were providing.

The Cloak is on display in a glass cabinet in the Edmund Rice Campus Reception foyer and it will continue to be worn by our future Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders for all significant College events. The Cloak is a very strong symbol of welcome to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families as they join the College community and represents a deep and abiding respect for the resilience and strength of Indigenous Culture.

Working on the cloak

When our cloak is worn it is as if the wings of Bunjil are embracing the wearer. Reminding them that he always was and always will be with them in the same way that each of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students both past and present are. Our possum skin cloak is a powerful symbol of healing and reconciliation and has become an important expression of the cultural fabric of our College.

Graduating Students We farewell two of our Year 12 students Flynn Kinsey and Tyson Neal. Both of these young men have shown great pride as leaders for the younger students.

Tyson Neale, a proud Gunditjmarra and Arrernte man met with Mark Kennedy (Deputy Principal) to discuss his plan for creating a space for his peers to sit down and talk. He was joined by 2020 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Captain, Flynn Kinsey who is a proud Wadawurrung man, and their

friend Colin Holt to lead the first Yarning Circle in the Cricket Pavilion. This event became one of the most highly significant and powerful events of 2020.

We are all very proud of all that Tyson and Flynn have achieved during their time at the College and we wish great success for the future. We look forward to welcoming them back to the College in the future to share their experiences and to continue to be connected to the College.

As a school, we need to ensure that first nation’s voices need to be heard and acknowledged and to ensure that we advocate for these communities. We also need to continue completing professional learning and development in this area so that we can better cater for the needs of our students.

LIBERATING EDUCATION

Religious Education In the spirit and charism of the Edmund Rice tradition, we aim to nurture our students through a religious education experience that helps them to understand, affirm and form their own opinions about our Catholic faith and other faith traditions. This is a challenging experience for many but one that is embraced wholeheartedly by the College as we aim to be the face of the Church with its rich history and teachings.

In 2020, our Year 7 students were inducted not only into the St Joseph’s community, but also into the Edmund Rice Touchstones of Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community, and Justice and Solidarity. This is a special time for every Joey’s boy to encounter as it forms the platform for further understanding, debate and personal formation for years to come.

Our Year 8 students consolidated their initial appreciation of the four Touchstones through units of work focused on a Call to Action (how to respond when they see injustices), and how to be an Upstander when wrongs occur. They also embedded their appreciation of Catholic Social teachings in responding to other people’s needs, through generosity and kindness and always being mindful of the marginalised. They explored the importance supporting them in our immediate and broader communities.

Year 9 Westcourt students spent time analysing Significant Women through Catholic history and highlighted their many achievements, sacrifices and commitment. The unit of Darkness into Light was particularly apt in 2020 for the campus as they tried to support each other to understand one of the central beliefs of our faith – a hope filled life after sadness and loss. Our students will experience adversity from time-to-time. This unit of work reinforces that hope is always attainable and that we can build on our resilient nature when confronted with obstacles to be problem-solvers and solution focused, just like Jesus demonstrated.

Our Year 10 students were true to the charism of Edmund Rice focusing on the needs and plight of the homeless and displaced people in our society. With increasing numbers due to the impact of COVID-19, the unit had localised significance.

A real feature each year is the support of the Jewish Christian Muslim Association meeting with the Year 10 students to explain some of their rich beliefs and religious customs that

Acknowledgment of Country made by Sue Collins at our Westcourt Mass

22

underpin their faith. It enabled our boys to gain further insight into other faith traditions.

Ethical considerations and decision-making are studied throughout Year 11 with students offered a variety of ethical scenarios to analyse, unpack and form an opinion on what is right or wrong with each of the scenarios. Some of the topics covered were euthanasia, engagement in war, organ donation and free speech. Students are encouraged to listen to all points of view in order to shape their own stance on these issues, being mindful of the viewpoint of the Catholic Church and other religions on the said topics.

Finally, our Year 12 students looked at some contemporary issues within the four Touchstones supported by some guest presenters (when allowed).Visits by Dr. Elio Capra looking at A Call to Worship through the use of art and photography to analyse the story of the good Samaritan, and Nas, the local Geelong Street Barber to explain how he tries to reach out to those doing it tough living on the street were great opportunities for the students to witness how we can be understanding, forgiving, non-judgemental and kind to those we encounter through every-day life situations. A great way to complete a comprehensive Christian experience as a Joey’s boy so they can continue to act accordingly beyond the walls of St Joseph’s.

Brother Hugh O’Neill, international leader of the Christian Brothers reminds us: “The charism of the Blessed Edmund Rice is summed up by the three words: presence, compassion and liberation. We must all be aware of the divine in our lives and be present in the moment so we can understand what is happening to others.We must bring this compassion to our encounters with others and not just pass them by or ignore them but value the importance of each encounter.”

Student Reflections I really enjoyed doing the Edmund Rice unit in Term 1.

It was interesting learning about the person who was the founder of our school who is mentioned, in almost all of our prayers. Making the slide with other members of the class was really enjoyable to because we worked well together to create and present an informative google slides presentation. The way Edmund Rice went well out of his way to help children living in poverty, which is really amazing, and the world would be a much better place if there were more people like him.

Harry Dower, 7G Throughout the year of 2020, we have participated in multiple events like our Courage to Care Renewals, where we had to make a video as Class Captains to present to the whole Year 8 level. It had been set up like a liturgy so we could experience the Renewals by staying COVID safe in our homes. It was very innovative from our school and a

good way to keep us and everyone else safe.

We also participated in a Shaka Up event for mental health where it was encouraging people to send a 'Shaka' to a mate which is essentially checking up on them.. I'd say St Joseph's has taken well to this initiative because as males I believe all of us were going through tough times and having all the boys check up on each other made a friendlier relationship between many boys and allowed us to keep our mates safe and mentally healthy.

Ethan Whitcher and Ben Parish, 8H Class Captains R.E. this year, even through quarantine, has been a very engaging and educational subject for me. In R.E. I've learnt about many things such as the creation stories and where they originated from. We have also learnt about Edmund Rice and his life and how he started a school for boys on the street and a Brotherhood, called the Christian Brothers.

LIBERATING EDUCATION

Literacy Literacy is an active phenomenon. Its power lies not in a perceived ability to read and write, but rather in an individual’s capacity to put those skills to work in shaping the course of his or her own life. - Paulo Freire.

The above quote could not be more relevant in 2020 and what a year we have had! Teaching staff rose to the challenge of remote learning and knowing how critical literacy is across all areas of curriculum, they continued to ‘weave’ these skills into all facets of their teaching, encouraging students to continue their individual reading and writing journey whilst learning from home. This was challenging, but also created great opportunities for students to become more independent in their learning. Many staff participated in online literacy webinars - a new way of presenting information to develop knowledge and understanding around reading and writing in secondary schools.

It is so heartening to have witnessed the ongoing success of the Levelled Literacy Program offered to Year 7 and 8 students.

This program supports the reading process, particularly with comprehension, decoding and reading for meaning. We were excited to conduct these classes from a new working space in the library, specifically designed to accommodate groups of students.

During the short time we were at school this year,Waterford

24

English classes visited the library each fortnight. These visits were great opportunities for boys to read silently and to utilise the expertise of our Librarian, Joy Whiteside, who introduced literature, genres and new books to them as well as encouraging the boys to borrow books each time they visited. This successful initiative will continue in 2021.

In Term 1, we commenced our next intake of teachers to train in the Literacy for Learning program. By focussing on how students and teachers make meaning across the curriculum, the program promotes an integrated whole-school approach that allows all those participating to become effective teachers of literacy. I am delighted to report that 28 staff graduated from this program – a wonderful result in what has certainly been a difficult year.

At St Joseph’s College, we have in place a rigorous and effective approach, which supports continual improvement in literacy. We aim to provide learning with clear purpose and connection to the 21st century as a means of improving student engagement and ownership of their learning.

I know 2021 is going to be a great ‘Literacy Year’ for students and staff at St Joseph’s College.

Humanities 2020 will be recorded as the year the COVID-19 disrupted modern society, however for our Humanities students it gave them an opportunity to analyse the historical, economic and social impacts of this global pandemic.

A crash in stock markets presented an opportunity to invest!

Mt Sion Business/Commerce students under the guidance of experienced teachers Peter Griffin and Renee Maltese were given the opportunity to take part in the annual ASX Schools Share Market Competition. The pandemic fuelled sell off in March provided a backdrop for students to research and invest in stocks they believed may survive, bounce back or flourish under the virus cloud and indeed a changed world that is to emerge in 2021.

Student winners from Year 10 included: Marcus Skoko, Noah Pitout, Alex Bou Sejaan and Matthieu Thomas. The syndicate invested $50,000 on the Stock Exchange over a 10 week period at the commencement of the COVID pandemic in March. They were able to build the value of their portfolio to just over $61,000, making a profit of $11,000 during a turbulent period on the share market with volatile forces of supply and demand for shares at play. - Peter Griffin The United Nations turns virtual in an attempt to provide solutions to the pandemic The United Nations General Assembly virtually came to SJC in August 2020. Students emulated world leaders from over 25 different countries by coming together to discuss and debate two key resolutions put before the assembly:

Year 8 History students view ‘Plague and Pestilence’ as never before!

Under the guidance of project leader Mrs Angela Baker, the Year 8 teaching team delivered a strikingly relevant history themed unit looking at devastation caused by the ‘Black Death’ Bubonic Plague (1346-1351 AD). Not only did students discover the devastating effects of this historical plague in Europe but also took time to record their own experiences and reflections of living through a pandemic. This provided the perfect platform for students to utilise the key historical theme ‘Continuity and Change’ and provided context for their experience as they headed into remote learning for the first time in Term 2.

Humanities inspires our newest SJC students in a remote setting Our Year 7 cohort experienced an introduction to secondary school unlike any other, thrust into remote learning after only nine weeks. The enthusiastic teaching team for Year 7 Humanities including Baker, Fazio, Reed, Darley Conroy, Langhorne, Smith, Malone, Di Santo, Mills and Tanner assisted their students to embark upon projects focusing on History, Geography and Commerce: • ‘Indigenous Australia- who they were, who we are?’

• ‘Legacies and Leftovers’ – Ancient Greece • ‘Melbourne- the world’s most liveable city?’

• ‘Eco Entrepreneurs’ Huon Bertino – Humanities Curriculum Leader 2020

1- The roll out of vaccines for COVID-19 must occur in order from countries with the lowest GDP per capita through to the most wealthy.

2- To address climate change all (193) member states must commit to zero net carbon emissions by the year 2030.

Students fiercely debated these resolutions based on evidence compiled in support of their country’s national interests. This culminating event effectively acted as an authentic pre-curser to the annual virtual UN Conference held in September (New York) where students found it inspiring to see many of their arguments replicated by world leaders!

Humanities Student Reflections In the World's most liveable city project we used a program to build and design our own city. In this activity we had to take in different factors of liveability and create a city that could function in the real world. This was one of my favourite Humanities tasks as it takes into account all the past concepts we have learned and it was a fun program to use and was unique as it was purely left up to us and no two cities created were the same! - Max Murphy, Year 7 The Ancient Legacies topic was my favourite in Humanities because I love the history behind Ancient Greece, their tactics for war and how they made different soldiers for the battle field. They had remarkable battlefield ideas such as the catapult and the hoplites. I also found their inventions for everyday life were just as good and just as interesting. For example they made plumbing and an indoor shower! I also liked this topic because I have always wanted to learn how ancient Greece were so civilised and so smart in their inventions and

tactics. I loved learning about Ancient Greece and I hope that in future I can learn and understand more of how they were and what it was like to be them. - Archer Westhorpe, Year 7 Indigenous Australia was the first topic we worked on in Humanities and it helped us get to know the whole subject a lot better, such as how to interpret if a source is fake or if it's a secondary source of information. The topic itself, taught me more about the original custodians of our land Australia and was fun to do as we had hands on experience.

Working with groups of 4 with photos and posters to be made, where we would open the massive wall door that divides two classes and combines into one was awesome. It gave us the opportunity of getting to see people from a different class do the exact same thing and get to see their opinions and views on it. I'll say it again, by far the best Humanities topic we worked on was hands down the Indigenous Australians topic. - Connor Orsolic, Year 7

VITA 2020 marked the 5th year of the VITA program. This year the students had the opportunity to engage in external programs (VET courses) to assist in a more structured pathway. The program focuses on providing real-world opportunities for learning aimed at helping students transition into life after school. Being a difficult year with the obvious hurdles the students still engaged in many highlights including; mentoring programs at St Thomas Aquinas Primary School, Gardening and horticulture programs within Work Related Skills, Personal Improvement Projects within Personal Development Skills and budgeting skills in Numeracy.

Congratulations to James Lappin, Tom O’Neill, Kaleb Piera, Robbie Rowlands, Zane Jones and Billy Cattanach who completed the program this year.

VCAL Food and Events

Business

In Term 3, a group of 6 of VCAL students ran the VCAL Casserole Kitchen. This group task involved us working together to supply community programs that help people in need with food. We worked with the SJC Care group to help families within our community that might be struggling to get food on the table. We made meals of pasta, lasagne and potato bake. We worked alongside Adele Watt to get this food to the families in need. We also provided Mrs Irving with snacks like varying slices, biscuits and sandwiches for the outreach soup van.

The Year 12 VCAL program was impacted significantly, as it is difficult to complete applied subjects remotely, however considering the interruptions that occurred we were still able to complete a range of applied learning opportunities throughout the year. One of our more hands on subjects that was affected was Food and Events. Food and Events was integrated with our Business VET course, where we have to learn how to manage and run a business.

We had the opportunity to go out and get hands on experience at the Lazarus Community Centre. We made potato salad, a tossed salad and cooked them a barbeque.This was an amazing experience for the boys because it allowed us to go out and see first-hand who we are helping and we were able to talk to the people that are affected and hear about their stories.This project allowed us to learn to communicate effectively and coordinate a group project on our own. It was a memorable experience that both met our outcomes for school and made a difference in the community.

This was also one of our hands on subjects as we had the opportunity to actually run and look after the coffee machine that we turned into a café, which is called SJC Café now.

When we worked on the café, we had the opportunity to learn how to make a coffee, how to manage the profits of the business and see how a small business worked. Along with running the café, we had the opportunity do some business units, which looked and covered most things that you would have to do with running your own business. I was very grateful for this opportunity at St Joseph’s College.

Elijah Muraca Corryong – Bushfire Relief Camp During Term 1, the Year 11 VCAL students travelled up to Corryong to help out farmers who was affected in the deadly bushfires. We left St Joseph’s College in three mini buses and embarked on the 6 hour journey to the middle of Victoria.

We were assigned groups to work in to try and help out on properties that were affected get back up on their feet and try to get them back to as close to normal life as possible.The tasks that we helped them out with included: fixing fences, cleaning up their property and just general maintenance.

They were very grateful for what we did to help them. We worked for two full days on these farms and it was a really rewarding experience. On the last night we cooked a BBQ to thank the farmers for allowing us to come and help out on their properties. It was great to be able to engage with the Corryong community and provide support after this devastating event.

Careers This year was certainly a little different in Careers. 20 Students were able to attend the Defence Careers Expo at the beginning of the year before schools moved to remote learning. This excursion gave the students the opportunity to talk to serving members of the Australian Defence Forces about the career opportunities on offer as well as see equipment and vehicles up close.

Further Careers excursions may have been cancelled, however, thankfully work experience was still able to go ahead, all be it with further restrictions. This year’s Careers contribution to Virtus features interviews conducted with students during their work experience placements. During Covid, a number of students were fortunate to have been given the chance to undertake placement. The College thanks the employers and businesses that welcomed our students on placement and ensured they were able to gain such valuable experience.

Karen Shum, Careers Coordinator Workplace: Port Phillip Sea Pilots How are you finding your work experience placement and what have you been doing?

Work experience has been great. I’ve been able to do a lot of things. I’ve been busy cleaning boats, including the wheelhouse, and sanding and repainting the external surfaces of the boats.

I’ve also had the chance to do engineering checks including looking for oil leaks, making sure the controls are working and cleaning the bilges. I also assisted with sea trials of the boat and did deck hand work.

Employer: Luke Trevaskis Builders How are you finding your work experience placement and what have you been doing?

I’ve enjoyed being on work experience to be able to get hands on experience. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve had to do. I have assisted with the installation of insulation, mixing cement, pressure washing surfaces and screwing wood facing onto framework.

Harry Salmon Employer: Plan Group How are you finding your work experience placement and what have you been doing?

Work experience has been great. The people on site have been welcoming and have given me the chance to be involved in different things. I have been working on the Geelong West Football club building works. I’ve had the chance to work with a carpenter, and then a bricklayer. I preferred bricklaying where I was able to do more hands-on work. This is a career I will now consider.

Br Rahill Library Br Rahill Library Reading Room This year we were given the opportunity to expand the Br Rahill Library by removing a wall and moving into the adjoining classroom. Our vision was to display our fiction collections in a more inviting and engaging way, and to create a comfortable reading area for silent or quiet reading where students are surrounded by books. The outcome is the Reading Room, a very desirable addition to the library. It is a peaceful, quiet and inviting break-out space that is very popular with students during break times, and with Year 7 and 8 English classes.

Moving the fiction collections into the new Reading Room enabled us to redevelop the main library area, and to repurpose and rearrange spaces. With the removal of the old shelving we have opened up a view of the beautiful Chapel and the front of the school, and the library classroom has been relocated into this space.

Remote learning presented new challenges this year. The aim of the library team during this time was to maintain services, and activities such as Book Week, as much as possible. We continued to develop and promote the eResources on the library homepage and the LibGuides. Students were encouraged to access the eBook and eAudiobook collections, ClickView, subject guides, databases and online encyclopedias.

When everyone is on site it is fantastic to have the students enjoying the library and the new Reading Room surrounded by books, spending time reading, studying and sharing learning.

Reading challenge: Read 20 in 2020 Students and teachers rose to the challenge to Read 20 books in 2020. The challenge involved reading from twenty different categories, including fantasy, historical fiction, mystery and suspense, a biography, a graphic novel or Manga, a classic, a taste of sport, and more. Completed Read 20 challenge entries were awarded a book voucher or a canteen voucher.

LIBERATING EDUCATION

English Snapshots Life in Lockdown “Schools will close as of March 24th with early holidays…” was all I heard of Dan Andrews speech on the news. So many thoughts ran through my head – No school for at least three weeks! The Joy! I had so many plans for those three weeks – People to see, places to go. On the top of my list, Phillip Island. For almost all of Term 1 we had planned, organized and paid good money for a 3-night stay on the island. I was going to get to spend this time with my family, my nanna and auntie. I was going to see the penguins and spend relaxing time walking on the beach.

Second on my list was my best friend who lives up the hill.

The freedom: Getting out, riding on our bikes, playing drums and guitar, Xbox and racing our remote-control cars, we had plenty of time, after all. I was even hoping to be able to ask Callum to join us on a trip to the chocolaterie. That was all about to change.

On the TV I see idiot Daniel Andrews holding yet another useless microphone. He said “There are only four reasons to go outside: Shopping for essentials, exercise, medical reasons and essential services workers. Everyone else MUST stay at home, to flatten the curve.” In one sound grab, Daniel Andrews ruined my, and probably everyone else’s, holiday plans. I hated sharing a name with an him! I was frustrated! My three weeks of freedom had become three weeks of boredom.

Three weeks passed slower than snail’s pace. My days were only broken up by a bike ride in the middle of everyday, and even that I had to do with my family. The only highlight was my mum perfecting ciabatta bread – the best bread I have ever tasted. I counted the days down with X’s on the calendar and looked forward to returning to school, and then, he struck again!

“Anyone who can work from home, MUST learn from home…” Mr Andrews and another press conference, ruining my day. Term 2 is eleven weeks. I was looking at eleven more weeks of pure torture. ‘Remote learning’ he was calling it. I love computers but fifty-five days stuck in front of my laptop is really a killer.

The weeks passed, some quick, some slow. Breakfast one morning, mum hushed me, we heard that “…Years 3 – 10 will return to face-to-face learning on the 9th of June…” not Dan Andrews this time, it can’t be because the news didn’t ruin my day. James Merlino, Education Minister, gave me my first piece of good news for ages. Safe to say, this weekend I am avoiding ALL TV and radio news.

SJC – See you Tuesday!

Daniel Di Santo, 7B The Mansion on the Midnight Grass The rain trickles down onto the bitter-smelling cobblestone as the lignite pigmented cab moves into the glimmering driveway.

The accompanying cars trail behind the cab’s every turn. The driveway stretches far, at least 500 meters going forward and roughly 14 wide. I feel the urge to start a conversation with the driver, but turn away and lock my mouth in a box. I step out, the cream coloured envelope from Master Charles Lancaster III clenched in my palm. The scent and sound of opulent heels catches my attention. A young woman in a scarlet dress strides past the other side of the cab. “We best be going inside shouldn’t we,” the lady rhetorically asks.

An infectious grin spreads across her face, causing my mouth to shape.

“I suppose you’re right,” I laugh. “Let us fetch a drink for old time’s sake… Miss Rosemary D’Arbanville.”

The giant, freshly painted double doors unlatch as we’re greeted by two people lazing about and drinking on the luxurious leather couches. A withering man with no leg, grey and brown hair sprouting out of his dark-skinned head. He bears war uniform, badges streaking down his navy-green coloured clothes. The other, a young man wearing a red and green car racing uniform.

“That will be £2000 kind sir!” An uneven frown spreads across the loser’s face. “I guess ze oddz aren’t in yur favor today eh Sarge!”

“What a peculiar accent,” I think.“It’s ought to be Spanish, I am sure of it. And of course, the other man has to be a sergeant, as his companion has just s___.” A sound like no other shakes the building. It sounds like a cat stuck in a blanket, tumbling down hundreds upon thousands of stairs. A body thumps to the feet of the staircase, a jade snake-handled dagger inserted betwixt the man’s shoulder blades.

“Gewd Gad!” Stammers the tipsy, but elegant Spanish fool. A scream fills the foyer as Miss D’Arbanville hides her eyes from the horrific scene.

“It is decided!” I yell amidst the commotion. Lightning cracks among the skies.“We will split up, search for the murderer and uncover why Master Lancaster has invited us to this unholy building!” My shell-shocked ex-wife and the two strangers nod in agreement. “Sergeant… you’re with me.”

The paint-flaking door creaks to an open as we stumble into a small room. Light, swallowed up in the shadows and darkness.

Our footsteps, a diminuendo on the wooden floor. Four, then three, then two footsteps can be heard. “Sergeant this looks troublesome… we might have to search someplace else.

Sergeant? Sergeant?!” But I hear no reply. Just my empathetic voice echoing in what seems like a deep void that goes nowhere. My blood turns to ice and my heart beat intensifies.

The shimmering of a crystals becomes louder and louder.

“JUMP!” My hairs stand on end and I become frozen with fear.

“SNAP!!” The beautiful relic speeds to the timber ground. A soft touch forms around my waist as I am somehow moved out of the field of danger.

“Maybe you should have kept me as your wife Dr. Miller. I sure know how to help my husband when he’s in need of saving,” she cackles.

“If that ceiling-decoration had of been 5 inches closer, it would’ve completely shattered and squashed my bones,” I ponder. “BANG!” Our footsteps, a crescendo in the wind. Three, two, no…six feet walking across the midnight coloured grass. Although one didn’t make it out, he would’ve wanted this for us.

“It’s been quite obscure, this night. Let us now fetch the police about Master Lancaster and then buy a couple of drinks and give cheers to Sergeant’s spirit,” the Spanish man says. Silently Rosemary and Myself nod in agreement.

“There’s just one problem,” I say.

“What is it?” Rosemary questions.

“You’re not Spanish are you Mister. You do not have the same accent as from the foyer. I remember precisely.”

Reach Out Project The Reach Out Project is a collaborative project between students and staff that Benji Mangar lead. A fantastic initiative from a student who has stepped up for his peers during this tricky term.

Benji compiled these messages into a booklet to share amongst students and staff.

TOM CASHIN In Year 10, I went to a new school. A boarding school that was extremely academically driven. I was overwhelmed with an intense workload and at least 2 hours of homework a night. At the end of the first week feeling unworthy and not up to the change in environment and work, I called my Dad in tears. Mid way through hearing my concerns and frustrations, Dad stopped me and said “How do you eat an Elephant?”.

Frustrated I responded “Are you even listening!?”.

He responded “Tom please stop and think, How do you eat an Elephant?”.

I was clueless. He answered his question. “Bit by bit. Don’t worry about what is to come. Work on what is in front of you.”

To this day I live by that same advice.

BENJI MANGAR We may be in a very difficult time right now, but I cannot stress enough that we are all in this together, you are loved and cared for. Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Stay safe and strong, I love you all!

SIMON TAYLOR

A wise woman/ counsellor told me this little phrase; “This too will pass. Nothing stays the same good or bad.”

Meaning that particular moments, feelings and plans are never how things will stay forever. You can let them pass through you and go on. This has been a comfort to me for 17 years.

TOM CORRAY Might seem tough now boys but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, hang in there.

TANIA WILLARD The pain will pass and the sun will shine again.

WILLIAM BAUM Our year level has experienced incredible hardships this year and everyone of us has felt it.

It’s inspiring to see how we’ve come together to support each other throughout everything and I believe by the end of our time at Joey’s that bond will be stronger than any other year before us.

CASSANDRA GLEESON “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the COURAGE to CONTINUE that counts” CONNOR TINO We’ve already experienced a year of shock and emotions that have changed life we consider normal. However this time has enabled us to persevere and overcome many hardships thrown our way. All we can do now is keep persisting and push through the rest of this year, stay strong and hang in there!

“It’s a great day for the ‘race’ boys, so be sure to get high on life!”

TONY PAATSCH YOU MATTER! TOM BROOKS Everyone in the school should be so incredibly proud of themselves. Getting through not only the most disrupted school year of our lives, but possibly ever here at Joeys.

It’s been hard, challenging and difficult, but the fact that we have gotten through it is really amazing. We as a school have to keep pushing, and I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel. Well done on getting through this really tough period for us all.

I know that we not only grown as individuals, but as a whole entire College.

MARK KENNEDY Good people get good results.

Reach Out Project CLAIRE WALKER I was in Year 12 when my mental illness was diagnosed, (I’d been showing signs since childhood, and yes, I was the kid that turned light switches on and off and I’m proud of it.) My journey from being diagnosed and coming to finally accept that I will have this illness for life was a difficult one, one that almost took me from this world. I’m eternally grateful it didn’t.

It took my childhood friend calling me in tears from Sweden, where he’d moved years ago, for me to realise that I have impact and purpose.

That we all do.

There has always been a stigma around mental health and I am SO PROUD of the Joey’s community for opening up and being honest, it takes courage, and I feel incredibly grateful to be part of a community that I know will catch me if I stumble.

Keep on reaching out boys, the world needs people like you.

FINN LAFFY Obviously this year has thrown a roller coaster of emotions our way, many of these emotions and feelings have been negative, however of the current experiences these are only and will only be temporary, I can assure you that at the end of this long and treacherous storm, many positives and appreciation will come of it. But for the time being, we need to get around each other, lend a helping hand and bring others who are down up with us, we are Joey’s boys and together we are strong.

JASON O’CONNELL These are not normal times, it is OK not to feel normal.

MARK DEVERALL

remember although it is often unstated by us adults or teachers you are all bloody radically different unique remarkable young men, each and every single one of you.

SOLOMON FRANCIS Hang in there guys I know it’s been a super tough year but if we stick together and keep checking in with our mates we’ll all pull through and be that much closer as a group because of it. Keep in mind that a good conversation can save a life and remember that It gets better even though sometimes it feels like it won’t.

MARK TURNER “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it” -Maya Angelou JOEL EDWARDS You’ve heard it a million times but we are all in this together, and it’s important to talk to friends and family, you are more important than you realise, so stay strong and stay safe!

MICHELLE ANDERSON “Let everything happen to you. Beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.” - Rainer Maria Rilke OSCAR MORRISON There is bound to be good times and with those come bad times. Maintain resilience and know nothing is ever as good, or as bad as it seems and relish each opportunity as an experience that can make you a wiser person.

Enjoy the ups and learn from the downs and know at the end of the day the people that truly love and care for you will be there no matter what.

Boys, if you all could only understand the love that there is for each and every one of you.You are all amazing. If you read these words I hope they scream at you. They shout at you with rage and hurt but in care. They have anger not at you but at that moment that you might doubt yourself and at that point where you let doubt pervade thinking.

ANGELA GIONIS

Being vulnerable is OK. Being vulnerable and feeling awkward is OK and a part of life. Anything in the modern world is really OK and the only thing that isn’t is hurting yourself. If I ever could take any pain from any of you I would, as would many others. We all feel and share pain and we have all found life challenging most of the time.

It goes without saying that right now, life is tough and it’s hard to maintain hope when bad things just keep happening.

But there is nothing more of a priority right now than the wellbeing of yourself, your friends and your family. Take time to do whatever it is that makes you happy and feel good, encourage and support your peers, be yourself and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise and most importantly spread some love around in whatever way you can, it’s needed now more than ever.

We aren’t meant to be perfect and we do not need to conform to any perceived idea of masculinity or identity from someone else or a group, or the media, and rather need to just form our own opinion over the decades. I hope it soon becomes normal for us to tear down the hidden emotion that we carry and have a safe and supportive response from everyone to help each other cope, be and act how you want to be, without fear of judgment or difference.

Reach out if you ever need for any thought and don’t ever be afraid to express your thoughts. The trials and tribulations of life test us all and slowly we all realise that the skill is dealing with responses to life’s predicaments. Please 32

You are amazing and loved by everyone for just being you.

Take one day at a time and be kind to yourself. You are not alone. Keep warm and well.

ANTON RIDGWAY

Life is the most precious thing we have and what’s happening now is just a small fraction of what lies ahead of us.Things can ALWAYS get better and never be afraid to ask for help and guidance, there is always someone to listen and a new way to problem solve.

MICHELLE CAMERON There is always light at the end of the tunnel

Reach Out Project PATRICK VISENTIN Boys, the importance of us all sticking together at this time, not only as a cohort but as mates, is massive. It is a difficult time for us, no doubt. We all need to unite together as a group and get through this together. So fellas, please keep your mates close and look out for one another. A simple question like ‘how you going mate?’ can go a long way for someone.

Please never forget that there are a wide variety of people and support services willing to help you out to make sure you don’t have to go through anything alone. I’m always here myself for anyone wanting to have a chat about anything.

Please stay safe and stay strong boys.

Language Studies Italian Trip – December, 2019 The Italian trip was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Not only did I experience what it was like to live as an Italian student, but I also made some amazing friends. Being the oldest student on the trip I wasn’t too sure how that would be, but learning more about the other students on the trip was something I didn’t expect and everyone was so nice. On top of that, there were so many people in Italy who had such amazing stories to tell. I hope that one day my Australian family and my host family will meet sometime in the future!

Daniella O’Donnell, SHC, Year 12 student Attending the 2019 Italian trip was the highlight of our lives and luckily, we went before all this COVID-19. We have created lifelong friends with the people on the trip from classmates to teachers to our amazing host families.We spent one week in Milan with our host families and experienced their everyday life. It was surreal putting into practice the countless years of linguistic studies. During this time, we established connections with our Italian host students, which we will all cherish forever. In addition to this, we all spent two weeks travelling to the most iconic landmarks of Italy.

There was a wealth of cultural elements we experienced which encompassed the traditional foods, architecture and music. Overall, this was an amazing journey which we will all

look back on and for which we will be forever grateful. Special thanks to Brendan Reed, Mark Turner and Antonella Masia for attending this trip with us and lastly to Louisa Biviano for organising this outstanding trip.

Luke Carra, Lachy Demasi, Emma, Erin, Georgia, Steph, James Bove, Annabelle, Josh Belleggia and Matt Tripodi Remote Learning in Chinese 2020 Despite the overall demotivating year, I found that I have had a great time studying Chinese in Ms Stewart’s class.

The content that we have covered this year has been interesting and informative, and was able to enlighten us with knowledge about Chinese culture, geography and etiquette.

As well as that, the level of camaraderie in our classroom greatly propelled the overall enjoyment of the class, and made learning easy going. An important aspect of this year would be teachers finding fun ways to engage their students during remote learning. Ms Stewart has done a fantastic job in this, introducing cooking classes that demonstrate Chinese delicacies. Some dishes that our class have cooked include fried rice and wontons, which are not only simple to create, but also give a basic insight into a complex Chinese food culture.

Patrick Pham

Throughout my time at SJC, Chinese has underpinned the notion of a fulfilling, challenging, and recreational class. In a way, it is the perfect storm for a motivated student who is willing to set themselves up in regard to both in-school achievement and future aspirations. Chinese as a senior student means small classes and specialized teachers, where the textbookcentric learning expands into a high intensity teacher-student interaction and student-student collaboration or activities.

At the beginning of this year, when everything was normal, students were able to have this typical communication, alongside an expectation of cultural excursions later in the year. Of course, that would not become a reality. Learning a second language this year was obviously difficult during remote learning. An upset to the conventional medium through which we learnt the subject – oral repetition and teacher-student interaction – effected many students’ motivation. To alleviate this issue, the class decided to have a cooking class. The reprieve from remote learning and bedrooms alike was really refreshing.That, and delicious chaofan (炒饭-fried rice) meant that we were able to really enjoy the Chinese subject with each other and family. So, what’s the harm in doing it twice? In our second stint of remote learning, we were faced with the same dilemma and returned to yet another cooking session with Mrs Stewart. This time it was yuntun (云吞-wonton).

Seeing all the other students cooking alongside you was the highlight, apart from eating and sharing fried wontons.

All things considered, a return to on Campus learning will probably be met with mixed feelings by many, but being back in class with peers and friends is preferred by all.

Max Anderson Chinese in 2020 Chinese 2020 – I cannot sum it up in one word but it was a journey. Learning Chinese in Year 12 at times was challenging, but was also an enriching experience. From the start of the year, the six of us have come a long way over the years from a class size of 20 down to six. It has provided us a unique experience. No other subject would possibly have such a small cohort, which allowed us to work closely with our Chinese teacher Mr Branchflower, with Mr Zhang also running extra classes throughout the year. In the lead up to one of our SACs, we watched “The Farewell”, which gives a real-life example about the Chinese cultural phenomena, “Face”. I would say it was difficult learning Chinese via Zoom to say the least as your not there physically in person speaking and learning the language. I live by the motto that was told by our teacher every day, “Study hard day after day.” Most of us in class in the future hope to continue Chinese in our tertiary studies.

Nicholas Naumovski, Year 12

Science Science in 2020 was unlike any other year at St Joseph’s College. Excursions and incursions were cancelled and a lot of the learning was done remotely. Through the hard work of teachers a lot of experiments continued. Staff came in and filmed experiments and sent them to students. Some experiments were also adapted so that students could complete them at home. Once we were back on site, a lot of experiments were conducted in the labs. Students were decked out in safety gear including aprons, glasses, gloves and masks. Through it all, there was a lot of learning and fun to be had.

Science Week 2020 National Science Week is Australia’s biggest week celebrating science and technology. The theme in 2020 was ‘Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans and St Joseph’s College celebrated in Week 7 of Term 3.

The boys participated in a variety of remote activities, including a virtual Escape Room.

First place went to Malik Davis from 7H and second place to Oscar Hart from 8C. Well done to all students who participated.

Philippa Barber, Science Curriculum Area Leader YEAR 7 SCIENCE What I like and enjoyed about science this year: I have learnt a lot about how to work things. One of my favourite things was the Rube Goldberg machine. It was so much fun and I had a lot of fun making it. Another one of my favourite things was using the Bunsen burner at the start of the year. Even though most of this year was at home it was very fun and my teacher did a great job of teaching us this year.

What I enjoyed about science this year were the experiments.

One of the experiments was the Rube Goldberg machine.

Even though it was completed at home it was super fun to do and make. Another thing I loved was trying out the Bunsen burners. Mrs. Barber taught us how to use the Bunsen burner step-by-step and after doing it I was very happy.

Otis Jones, 7C YEAR 8 SCIENCE Year 8 science was a great subject this year, it was very social and great to interact with other students. We did many great pracs this year. It was a challenge for everyone when COVID hit and we had school at home. Science was one of the best subjects to do at home. We were given clear instructions that were easy to follow. We did many things on stile and learnt lots of new things. We did a great project in isolation on the many systems of the human body. Coming back to school was great it was very interactive and we did a prac almost every lesson. Overall Year 8 Science was great, we learnt lots of new and interesting things and did many great pracs this year.

Jude Coverdale, 8K YEAR 10 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE ECOLOGY PROJECT In Semester 2, Year 10 Environmental Science students have undertaken the ecology research project; “What’s In Your Backyard”. With the intention of encouraging students to learn more about the natural world, students investigated the species living in their local vicinity. In addition, they conducted research for a nominated indigenous flora species planted at SJC and discovered uses of native flora species by the Wadawurrung people. The unit culminated with a “Sir David Attenborough inspired” mini documentary on a species of their choice.

STEAM STEAMing Ahead With New Technologies

Product Name: Sanding Stick Mk 1

Learning new technologies from home is no easy feat, but students in Year 9 Full STEAM Ahead have had great success using the engineering design process to produce their very own computer-aided designs (CAD) of a custom tool to be 3D printed. The students then evaluated and iterated their design, using external feedback, video conferencing and photos, before re-designing their final product. Returning to school the students will get to take their 3D printed projects home to share with their client. Three of the best designs have been shared below:

Student Designer: Angus Smith

Project Name: Shopping Handle Student Designer: Noa Skoko Have you ever had to take the groceries in the house and don’t want to go for two trips to the trunk? Well that’s my thinking “ohh I can take all the bags in one trip”. This handy tool will help you carry the bags more efficiently and fix that problem every time.

I used the 3D printer to create this tool to make it easier for my mum to carry around shopping bags. Its greatest strength is that for how small the object is it can carry up to 6kg on one hook so that gives a total of a possible18kg without breaking.

What I most enjoyed about this task was using the 3D printer.

I learnt how a 3D printer works and how to use it. I also enjoyed testing my product and seeing everything work to plan. I also used TinkerCad for the first time and enjoyed playing around until I had a product I was satisfied with.

The sanding stick was made with carpenters and woodworkers in mind. The main problem the sanding stick is made to overcome is the struggle that tight corners and spaces provide for carpenters to sand and smooth down. The list of people who benefit from this product is extensive ranging from carpenters and furniture makers to people that treat woodworking as a hobby.

The project was really enjoyable because I had to push myself to learn new skills and grow in my abilities to adapt and communicate. During this project I learnt how to manage my time more efficiently I learnt how to use the software TinkerCAD and I learned about and taught myself how to use Microsoft Sway.

Product Name: Universal Wrench Student Designer: Cooper Heer It works by locking on to the bolt and then when you apply pressure to the handle it will slowly undo the bolt. It is designed for small trades people or to be included in flat pack.

I improved my design once it had printed and removed the block that I had put into the model that would hold it up when printing it caused the handle to have a hole in the bottom making it uncomfortable to hold. With this project I learnt how to 3D model. I enjoyed the hands-on aspect and the 3D modelling of this project.

Mathematics What’s New in Mathematics at SJC? St Joseph’s now offers an immersive, engineering orientated STEM experience for students entering Year 10 in 2020 and beyond.This elective unit is offered as an innovative alternative to the traditional Mathematical Methods and Physics pathway.

STEM classes seek to develop the skills that many career paths now require, such as communication, problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and data analysis. The content has been designed, and is being delivered, by experienced teaching staff, with a clear focus on developing the skills required for both Year 12 and University success.

In 2019, of all the SJC graduates who chose a university career pathway, some 30% selected the following courses •

Engineering and technology (40)

•

Architecture and Building (25)

•

Information Technology (10)

STEM_10 is specifically designed to cater for these career path choices. An engineering style approach to delivering curriculum, seeks to build the underlying Mathematical and problem solving skills required for a successful STEM based career.

Here is what some of the 2020 students have to say:

The STEM course is exactly what I expected it to be.

I expected it to be a subject that extends and pushes us in physics and maths whilst also exposing us to how our learning is used in the real world and helps us cement this understanding using the engineering challenges.

I would definitely recommend this course to any student that is interested in STEM and is willing to put in the effort and extend themselves as this subject will not only help you in future VCE but it can also be interesting and fun.

The thing I enjoy most in this course is the engineering challenges. They give you an opportunity to apply what you have learned and also allow you to work with others to build a device or solve a problem in a fun way.

Unlike traditional Mathematics and Physics, STEM 10 applies both subjects to real-life problem-solving activities. By learning the content and then applying it to the engineering challenges and scientific pracs, it allows students to be creative and design solutions using Math and physics. It is also more engaging, particularly the math side of the subject. Rather than just learning formulas and techniques we are shown what Math can do to solve problems and create solutions.

I enjoy being in the class with the mates I have. Even though the course is challenging it was good to have a laugh sometimes.

I really like having the lab where we are the only class in it, I like the small number of students in the class and it's with the people who want to challenge themselves.

Question: What do you like least about this course?

Answer: That I can't do it next year

Information Technology Waterford Digital Technology: Learning Coding through Games Current ideology in the world of computers tells us that students can best learn coding through the development of games. Hooking into this interest, or in some cases passion, has been used to engage students with various aspects of coding at Years 7 and 8.

Jagger Mooney Year 7 Parkour

In 2020, Year 7 students have been guided through block coding in the three dimensional world of CoSpaces. Here they followed a range of guided tutorials to develop a Vampire Hunt Game, Virtual Jenga and finally developed their own game, the majority producing a virtual parkour.

Harry O’Brien Year 7 Jenga

For Year 8 the learning involved using Game Maker 8.

Elements of design, block and scripted coding gave students a wide range of options for their final product. Benchmark tasks introduced students to the importance of good design and sequencing and encouraged them to consider the end use experience. This included the need for good user documentation, so that user was able to achieve some level of success.

The obvious highlight at both levels, was the testing of each other’s final products. Getting to compare and evaluate someone else’s work while playing computer games just doesn’t feel like schoolwork!

Product Design & Technology Well what can one say about the 2020 school year? Many things, but we will refrain! I would imagine that everyone in the St Joseph’s community have had a different and unusual year. Firstly, I wish to express on behalf of the PD&T (wood) department a thanks to the boys for being as professional as possible. Especially under these trying conditions & to commend them on their tolerance and endurance. The boys strived to do well with the alternative activities and with good nature, accepted the curriculum compromises. It has been a really tough year for a subject like PD&T (wood), where the tactile kinaesthetic learning that the boys really enjoy, was fundamentally halted due to the virus situation. However, like all unpredictable circumstances new opportunities arise and some boys really stepped up to the challenges and embraced

the contest of the circumstances. Thanks to everyone associated with the PD&T team this year and we think it goes without saying that we all look forward to some optimistic normality for 2021.

Systems Technology In a year that has been a challenge for everyone, students across the school have demonstrated an amazing level of resilience. With Systems Engineering being a practical subject, it was a huge challenge to get the Unit 3-4 projects and folios completed to a high standard. I would like to congratulate all students on their work ethic and keeping their standards high. Due to our hard work and dedication we are in a strong position to do well. Students have tackled a range of projects this year ranging from pinball machines to seed planting drones.

Although there was a change to the study design, whereby students only had to complete an aspect of their original design, many students completed their projects. It was really pleasing to see students really challenge themselves from a design and production point of view, considering the reduced time in class projects demonstrated little impact of these constraints. Our student population in Systems has increased from Year 10 through to Units 3 and 4, demonstrating an increased demand for skills in the area of Systems Engineering, this is an exciting trend for the subject, school and wider community.

Students in Units 1 and 2 had the opportunity to produce some interesting and challenging products that challenged their thinking skills. It was great to see students from Sacred Heart join our team for the first time, hopefully creating a trend in the subject area and seeing more girls getting involved in Engineering. It’ll also be great to see the boys being challenged by the girl’s high level of skills and knowledge. Mr

Davies should be commended for his work throughout the year, they will certainly be in a good position to do well in 2021, students have been lucky to be able to draw from his extensive level of experience.

After seeing images on social media of the damage masks are doing to the ears of front-line workers, students and staff at St Joseph’s College came up with an idea to help. Students at the College worked hard to solve this problem by designing and producing ear savers for nurses on the front line. The new form of personal protective equipment is used to extend the bands on the back of the face masks, alleviating the pressure of the elastics on the wearer’s ears. The ear savers have been precision cut on their laser cutter. School leaders William Baum and Lachlan Demasi teamed up to laser cut 180 ear savers. St Joseph’s College Director of Community Development Kristen Gleeson has also been working with Cotton On to help distribute the ear savers to our sister school in Mannya Africa, where there is a significant need for these in their medical community.

I would like to thank everyone involved in what has been a challenging but successful year, although this has been the case, the hard work and dedication of everyone involved has made our year both enjoyable and satisfying. I wish all our exiting students’ success in their future education and careers, and all the best in the upcoming exams.

Food Studies Cooking was more rewarding than ever this year…

Food Studies teachers have always encouraged students to practice their cooking skills at home, and students did this more than ever throughout 2020. Time spent at home during remote learning, allowed students to produce new recipes and some family favourites, to provide comfort and connection with others.

Foods students across each year level, including our junior cooks, proudly forwarded photos of their delicious dishes, to their teachers who were suitably impressed with their efforts.

These are just a few images supplied by many of our creative students of their special dishes from both semesters this year.

Year 10 students successfully designed their own recipes in this year’s PBL projects, including an original burger suitable for a popular burger business’ menu. VCE Food Studies students were able to produce some more complex dishes during their practical activities, in our new senior Food Studies kitchen introduced earlier in the year. The new facility saw our hard working senior students enjoy their busy practical classes, where they performed practical skills to a high standard.

We welcomed Vanessa McCarthy and Laura Edwards, to our Food Studies teaching staff this year and I would like to thank Digby Lawrence Year 8

them, along with our other dedicated team members, Leanne Rivett, Nicole Lucas, Leanne Sims and Katrina Sherman, for all of their amazing help and valuable support throughout the school year.

Happy cooking!

Cassandra Coogan,Technology Curriculum Area Leader

Food Studies this year for me, has been one of the most exciting subjects and also one of the most informative I have done over my time at school. One of my favourite topics this year was Indigenous Australian Foods, when we cooked delicious sliders and learnt about the intensity and demand for indigenous foods. Overall, Food Studies has been a delight to participate in, there has been challenging work at times, but the learning opportunities presented to me and the fun involved with cooking amazing meals has been well worth it. I would certainly encourage all students to consider Food Studies as a subject.

Health & Physical Education This year saw the continued development and improvement of our Health and Physical Education programs and the opportunities offered to students to experience a wide variety of physical learning experiences. The challenges presented by remote learning were met head on by the HPE team.

Led by Mrs Coby Cunningham and Mr Chris Lynch the HPE department devised a remote Movement and Well-Being Program that set ‘best practise’ benchmarks for physical activity promotion in secondary schools. Students were presented with daily physical activity and mindfulness exercises that met the National Physical Activity Guidelines for Adolescents.

Students participated in the ‘Run Around Australia’ challenge as they competed for points within the house system at SJC. Skill challenges were also a regular feature with students videoing themselves and competing for Rebel Sport vouchers.

A special thanks to Mr Will Newton for his contribution to judging the entries. Daily ‘live’ fitness classes were also conducted remotely with Mrs Bec Westwood working in conjunction with Geelong Athlete Centre to present weekly sessions.

As well as core physical education classes, which focus on the development of skills and fitness, students, were also presented with numerous elective options during 2020. Adventure Race and High Performance Academy at Westcourt, Sport Science, Optimal Health and Action In the Outdoors at Year 10 were

Remote fitness sessions saw a few special guests!

all part of our pathways programs. Our VCE offerings included Health and Human Development, Outdoor and Environmental Studies and Physical Education and the VET Sport and Recreation courses (Outdoor Recreation and Coaching).

Our boys have once again been able to learn about and be challenged by the outdoors in the Outdoor Education subjects on offer at SJC. Through their participation in a variety of outdoor activities such as surfing, white water rafting, snowboarding, skiing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking and sailing, students have learnt about themselves and the environments they’re in. Gaining an understanding of how to minimise impacts, participate in a sustainable manner and learn of the importance of healthy environments is key to these subjects. Hopefully these boys will continue to use these environments well after they finish their schooling, having developed a passion for recreation and adventure that only the outdoors can offer!

Our domain also really set to work this year on improving the literacy outcomes of students by incorporating specific literacy building activities into the health curriculum, particularly at Years 7 and 8. This initiative was in response to a recognition that this is an area for academic improvement in our boys and the skills developed are transferable to other areas of their education.

The points based fitness-testing model sees the boys score 1-5 points for each of six fitness tests at Year 7-11. The concept allow boys to track progress as they progress through their physical development. Only two boys have ever scored the maximum of 30 points. Who in the future will join Charlie Ham and Flynn Kinsey in the SJC Fitness Testing Hall of Fame?

I would like to make special mention of the work completed this year by Mr Lachlan Doak in his role as logistics and programming coordinator. This is a complex and challenging role, I understand the time and effort that goes into planning our practical activities, both on site, off campus/remotely and ensuring we have the required equipment. Thanks again also to Mr Mark Rayson for his outstanding coordination within the Outdoor Education department.

Performing Arts The Combined Schools Production.

2020 was to be Sacred Heart College’s turn to host our annual Musical Production.

Matilda the Musical was an exciting choice.

The St Joseph’s College students who won a part include: Elliot Senftleben - Bruce Jordan Keegan - Eric Primary Kid Luca Baum - Tommy Primary Kid Oliver Randall - Nigel Primary Kid Finn Jaques and Mr Craw to share Agatha Trunchball Henry Stephensen - Mr Wormwood James Mallinson - Escapologist/ Secondary Kid Jett Sansom - Sergei/ Secondary Kid Harry Scanlon - Rudolpho/Secondary Kid Noah Conroy - Micheal Wormwood Rafael Stojanovski - Secondary Kid Elliot Senftleben - Primary Kid To perform Charlie Bowman, Jack Diamond, Rory Doherty, Josh Giblin, Kai Tracey Rehearsals and planning were well under way when of course COVID restrictions struck.

As Jordan Keegan reflects there had already been many positive experiences for the cast and crew as it prepared.

During Terms 1 and partially 2 I was in the production of Matilda the Musical ran by Sacred Heart College. In late 2019 I auditioned for the Musical which I was very nervous about for my audition I sang Seasons of Love from the Musical Rent. For the musical I landed the role Eric which was one of the kids roles. We learnt many dances and songs in the time we were preparing for the production. I felt very welcomed and comfortable in the musical and really enjoyed the experience which also allowed me to make new friends from other schools and socialise which overall made it a good experience for me. I am truly grateful for the time I spent in the Matilda Musical.

Music 2020 and COVID-19 presented the Music Department with some significant challenges, many of our usual performance opportunities, festivals and examinations did not run and classes needed to be significantly adjusted.

We would like to congratulate all of our students who have stayed positive and participated in online rehearsals and continued to engage in their music without being able to put their hard work together in live performances. Our instrumental tutors and class teachers have worked tirelessly to deliver inspiring lessons, to continue to motivate and encourage our students online. During Term 4 it was gratifying to see some of our larger ensembles able to rehearse together in their sectional groups.

We bid farewell to our Year 12 students, who have been exceptional in their musicianship and commitment to the College Music Program. Thanks to Henry Stephensen, Music Captain and all of the Year 12s who have been committed to the program for the past six years. We wish them all the very

best for the future.

At the beginning of Term 4 we welcomed Laura Martin in the Music Administrator role. We thank Lynne Mullins for all of her work and wish her well in the Education Support Team.

We also thank John Seal for his percussion teaching and work with the drumline over many years as he transitions into retirement.

Thank you to all of our families who have supported our program during this challenging year. We are looking forward to making more music, in person next year.

Michael Wilding, Director of Music Music for mateship This year ANZAC ceremonies were not able to take place but a number of our students got up early on to play the last post at dawn.

WATERFORD

Year 7 You would have to be living on Mars to not be aware of the challenges that everyone has faced in this unique year of 2020.

The first year of secondary school for the Year 7 2020 cohort will go down in history as one that will never be forgotten.

Perhaps in many years they will be telling their grandchildren about the year of school they had where they barely attended the school. Their grandchildren will probably laugh in disbelief and say something like, ‘that would be awesome,’ probably using some other adjective that the new generation will have invented as part of their vernacular.

However, we know that the reality has been difficult, for students, teachers and parents. Nevertheless, whilst it has been a year like no other and far from the expectations of 336 excited young people about to begin the new phase of their learning journey, the Year 7 students of 2020 have been brilliant. They have demonstrated flexibility, resilience, innovation, collegiality and good humour throughout the course of 2020. A tumultuous year? Yes. Did the students rise to the challenge? Most definitely. We are very proud of all the Year 7 students of 2020.

Term 1 provided the most ‘normal’ term of the year. Students were able to grasp aspects of the life and culture of St Joseph’s College. Their enthusiasm and participation in the Swimming Carnival and on Athletics Day was admirable. The students were participants and witnesses to a group of nearly 2000 students and staff coming together to celebrate the vibrancy of its community. The level of participation was high and there were some terrific achievements too.

At an early year level assembly, students were treated to a visit by Jordan Kamara Edwards -Gunditjmara, Aranda and Wathaurong man. He is the traditional owner/cultural advisor at Wathaurong aboriginal co-op and also the elected south west region Victorian treaty assembly member. Students participated in a smoking ceremony before they entered the gym where they learnt more about the significance of an Acknowledgement of Country and a Welcome to Country.

The College’s possum skin cloak project was also presented to the students and its significance explained by Lisa Couzens.

This presentation really helped students gain a deeper shared understanding of Australia’s Indigenous people’s history and its connection with SJC culture.

Despite the challenges of remote learning, students still embraced many opportunities to participate in the life of SJC. Some of these opportunities included: • Service Learning • The Winter Sleepout • ACC virtual cross country challenge • Book week • The Virtual Run Australia Challenge • Various skills challenges such as the soccer skills challenge or juggling a golf ball on a club • The Movement and Well Being program 2020 has been a vastly different year to what anyone could have anticipated, yet amongst it all Year 7 students have remained positive and embraced their first year of secondary school.

The broader competencies that students have had to develop this year will stand them in good stead for their future years.

This is only the beginning of their secondary journey and the opportunities looking forward are exciting.

We are very grateful for the support that parents have provided for 2020. It is a team effort and your support of your son’s teachers and your sons cannot be underestimated. We wish Year 7 students a wonderful, relaxing and safe break. We look forward with optimism to the promising opportunities that 2021 will bring.

Peter Malone and Meleah Zanos

Whilst not all students were able to attend the YMCA Lake Dewar camp in Term 1 due to the onset of COVID, those that did had some memorable experiences engaging in various fun activities, such as the flying fox, gorge walk, mountain biking and kayaking.Thankfully, those who missed out in Term 1 were able to spend a full day at Lake Dewar in Term 4 taking part in a similar activities program – a very fortunate opportunity in such turbulent times.

Year 7 Remote Learning This year has been crazy with remote leaning at home. The experience was great but we are happy to be back.

This year has thrown many new experiences into the mix and remote learning was one of those. Just like anything remote learning had its ups and downs, personally we enjoyed remote learning. The parts we found good were sleeping in, the flexibility with work, longer lunchtimes and eating whenever you want. Something that wasn’t so great was not seeing your mates, the repetitiveness of it and having to email questions to the teachers.

Many would say they enjoyed remote learning and I am sure a lot would say that they preferred school on Campus. But we personally would say it had positives and negatives. One of the positives was that you could do whatever you wanted at lunch time, and one of the negatives would be that you had to sit in a chair and stare at a screen for 6-7 hours a day. But overall it was a good learning experience.

Oscar Dow, Xavier Martin and Fletch Grimsey-Cook, 7E Year 7 Camp Camp was the best thing we did in Year 7. With kayaking, raft building, and a massive zip line, it couldn’t get much better.The cabins were cozy, and the food was scrumptious. It was great to be out of the classroom and get to know our new mates.

Also seeing the teachers in a new environment was good too. Our nights included trivia, a movie, and sitting around a campfire. Here the teachers jokes were terrible but their scary stories were better!

Disabled Surfing Association DSA at Ocean Grove Beach On 2 March myself and my best mate Harry volunteered to help down at Ocean Grove for the Disabled Surfers Association of Australia. We were really excited to be able to volunteer to help these people experience riding a wave. Just to see how excited they were was truly amazing.

On arrival we had to register and then get fitted for a rash vest and wetsuit. We gathered as a group down on the sand for a briefing, we were then split into groups. The disabled surfers were either brought down to the beach in wheelchairs or they walked with their carer. They were then transferred to the surfboard. They had to lie down on their stomachs and then the volunteers brought them out to us in the ocean knee high. As I mentioned above it was like a runway pretty much we were bumpers. If they were looking like they were heading towards us we would then assist and push the board back into the middle while they were riding the wave back into shore. Throughout the day we were offered sunscreen, fresh fruit and for lunch we could have either a sausage in bread or a hamburger. It was an awesome experience, Harry and I walked away feeling proud that we could share this amazing experience with these disabled surfers.

Postcards From Westcourt What is your favourite thing about being at Westcourt?

Huy Tran - Friends and more chill.

Blake Fusella - My favourite part about the Year 9 Campus, was all of the opportunities and learning paths to choose from. I personally enjoyed the arts the most.

Joel Stephens - My favourite thing from Westcourt would probably have to be the freedom.

Ethan Powe - At Westcourt I am able to bond with my cohort as well as my friends a lot more and I feel a lot more accepted and trusted. We get many privileges at Westcourt and a lot more freedom and choice, but my favorite thing about being at Westcourt is the nice trusting staff as well as the freedom.

Felix McDonald - Playing down ball and going to the library.

Joel Thomas - Just being with only Year 9's and having a less populated school ground again.

Bailey Rathje - Having a whole Campus to our year level.

Jakob Psaila - Hanging out with friends and eating garlic bread.

Finn Bilston - Lots of outdoors.

Cam Dat - the food.

Archie Conlan - How small it is.

Miller Mckeegan - Getting to know more kids in my year level.

Luca Baum - Having English and humanities combined into 'Think'.

William Hughes - It's smaller so it's way easier to get around to other classes and find other people.

William Stute - Being away from all the other year levels.

Huy Tran - How chill it is and seeing your friends.

Lachlan Osborne - It's a lot more relaxed and get to know more people because you are around them more.

Nicholas Skoko - Being with friends & having really good teachers.

Christopher Sirolli - having the whole Campus to ourselves Joshua Dempster - Being in a smaller environment.

Mitchell Beattie - My favourite part about Westcourt is the new gym that we can play basketball in at lunch.

If you could volunteer anywhere for a month, where would it be? What would you do?

Bailey Rathje - I would probably help auskickers or milo cricketers.

Miller Mckeegan - It would be in a poor country and I would help build up villages and try and provide a source of fresh water for the village people to use.

Luca Baum - I feel like I would really enjoy volunteering at a museum. I would be able to learn about history and teach other people.

Huy Tran - Homeless shelter or with homeless people and get to know their story about themselves.

Lachlan Osborne - Cricket Victoria at the MCG. Help out anyway possible.

Nicholas Skoko - I would be interested in volunteering in like a beach, coastal, or park clean up with like a crew, cleaning up rubbish and litter for the environment.

Joshua Dempster - The Amazon Rain forest and I would help replant the trees that got destroyed.

Huy Tran - At a homeless shelter, to help the homeless and learn about their stories.

Blake Fusella - If I were to volunteer anywhere, I would choose second bite, because I could get to help unfortunate families and socialise with them. There's something about getting to know those people while simultaneously helping them that I find really nice.

Joel Stephens - If I was to volunteer anywhere I would volunteer for Tesla or space x.

Ethan Powe - I would complete volunteer work at national park and I would be cleaning the area as well as patrolling the citizens and providing them with information about the wildlife.

Felix McDonald - A kitchen to cook meals for people.

Joel Thomas - Probably do some voluntary work for KDS Designs.

Jakob Psaila - I would volunteer riding my dirtbike at my motocross track.

WESTCOURT

Westcourt Campus Captain Reports Westcourt is the benchmark where boys turn to young men.The opportunities, challenges and experiences foster this growth for students. 2020 proved a curveball for the entire Joey’s community and importantly Westcourt. The opportunities and experiences that are so integral to this journey were put on hold or cancelled. Victorian Young Leaders to China, ACC, immersions all gone with the blink of an eye. It was in the face of this adversity that instead of giving up on what we had left, we relished it and continued to push forward with our year.

2020 threw everything possible at our year level and instead of knocking us down it brought us closer together and made us a stronger year level than we ever would have been. 2020’s Westcourt may not have been the same as the years before us, but together as a year level the experience we have has undoubtedly made us ready for senior school at Mt Sion.

Sure, Westcourt missed out on a lot this year, so it makes it easy to forget the new opportunities and facilities Westcourt has in 2020. Most notably the Westcourt Gymnasium was opened this year and has opened the doors for so many PE options that just wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. At lunchtimes, the gym is full of avid basketballers, shooting and playing ‘till the bell rings and in PE battle ball, badminton and netball can now all be taught and played on the court. Looking up from the court you will see an awesome weights room, filled with dumbbells, exercise balls and many other great features for the High Performance and Adventure Race classes. On top of this a new classroom sits on the top floor of the gym, allowing students to sit and work in a different space to the Edmund Rice or Ignatius Wings. Mr McDowall and Mr Schlank run a class utilizing the Kitchen Gardens that Westcourt has the opportunity to look after. Heading out they plant their produce, look after it, harvest it and cook it into a delicious meal able to be enjoyed by the whole class. 2020 has taken some things but has given us some great spaces to be enjoyed by the many cohorts of Westcourt to come.

Jaeger Fawcett – Westcourt Campus Captain After a crazy start to the year with bushfires, 2020 just got even crazier with a worldwide pandemic. Shortly after everyone established that COVID-19 was dangerous people started to panic and not long after we were in lockdown.

Globally, everything stopped. Workplaces were closed. School, sports and all regular things were stopped abruptly and we were forced to stay inside. The first wave hit us in around April but school had to proceed so we went into remote learning.

Unlike many others I personally really enjoyed a different way of learning. I think it made me a more independent and that will stay with me forever. For an example in a situation where I would normally ask the teacher a question, I could google it and find my way. It also gave me lots of different options to organise my day and more free time to expand on other hobbies and focus on myself. I really enjoyed the freedom of choice. Depending on the subjects and the teachers we had real time learning and anytime learning. Both ways of learning were good in different ways. I personally liked anytime learning the best because I could do it early in the morning or later in the afternoon and during the day I still had time for sports and to do other errands. The great positive of real time learning on the other hand was that you would see your teachers who were always more than happy to help us with anything we needed and also to hear your friends which was really refreshing at times.

Just as we were all becoming fed up with online schooling, restrictions finally eased at the perfect time. We were back at school and it was like a breath of fresh air seeing mates again and being able to socialize. Much to our displeasure though came the second wave and we were put back into lockdown and needed to find our rhythm again. Fast forward eight weeks and we are now on track to finish our journey at Wescourt.

School had to make few changes to safely open again. We all have to wear face masks which I find annoying but we will have to get used to it because it looks like it will stay like that for a while. This year, that seems like a very long year, I have learned to be more adaptable, to adjust to all these restrictions, to be more organised and most of all I have learnt to never take things for granted.

Noa Skoko – Westcourt Campus Captain.

This year has been different for everyone, it affected everybody in its own way in good and bad ways, not only physically but mentally as well. There have been the highs and the extreme lows. It looked like a normal year to start off with until March hit and it’s been downhill ever since and still looking worse in October.

Our Year 9 cohort has missed out on a lot of things this year which is very unlucky as I’m sure we were all looking forward to what Westcourt had to hold for us in the terms we missed due to COVID. Things we missed out on included the camps in Term 4 which all the boys were very excited about. ACC sport: footy, soccer, etc which is a big thing in Year 9 since there is no

67

WESTCOURT

Westcourt ACC sport leading up to Year 9, personally I couldn’t wait to compete against the Melbourne based teams in footy.

One thing I noticed about this year and while in lockdown is how much free time we had all to ourselves, some boys used this time to better themselves and some used it to chill and relax in their life, it didn’t really matter what you chose to do, if it was making you happy that is good. It also brought many opportunities to try new things and challenge yourself.

If it was learning a new sport or reading a new book, I’m sure every boy surprised themselves in one way or another while in lockdown. Another aspect of lockdown was being able to be with more of your family especially if they had to work at home, some parents may have hated it as you would have been very annoying but deep inside they would’ve loved your company each day. It was also good to see a lot of people going out and finding things to do locally as we were not allowed to travel for no reason.

We as a leadership team and behalf of our student peers agreed everyone has had their lives turned upside down one way or another this year. We have dealt with tragedy personally in the loss of a friend, Abe. It has been difficult to really grab this opportunity and make the most of what it entails but through our Wellbeing Days, BBQ’s and all other events we have shown just what a strong team can do in the face of adversity. On behalf of the leadership team and the greater Year 9 cohort we would like to thank Mr Deverall for his encouragement and support, Mr Parsons and Mr Harmon for always assisting and all other Westcourt staff members for being there to teach and talk to no matter what the circumstances.

Kitchen Garden This year Kitchen Garden got off to a great start, the garden beds were looking very tired and drained from the summer heat so we were assigned to fertilize and plant new veggies for the winter months as well as practicing crop rotation. Each student then thought of a personal project that they could do out in the garden. Like making a fire pit and a herb garden.

Then unfortunately COVID-19 forced us to take our garden to home, Mr McDowell gave us some seeds to sow at home in recycled containers. During COVID we learned about the benefits to compost and how to make it. Before we knew it, we were back in the garden at school attending to our plants.

We also finally realized that our veggies were ready to harvest so we made some pizza and stir fry. We have just sown seeds which will now be all ready to hand over to the kitchen garden class 2021.

Blake McMahon International Women’s Day At Westcourt International Women’s Day, on 8 March was celebrated with two major events at Westcourt. Gold coin donations were made by students to buy flowers for the female staff, and a netball match between Clonard and St Joseph’s Year 9 students took place in the gym.

The netball game was an absolute nail biter. Students from both schools packed into the gym to watch some of Westcourt’s best athletes try to topple the star netballers from Clonard.

After a fast start from our Joey’s boys, Clonard began clawing their way back into the match, taking the lead in the second quarter. The game was neck and neck going into half time. The

Clonard girls dominated the start of the third quarter only for the boys to wrest the lead back. A three-goal lead to Joey’s with only minutes to go seemed to have ensured the win but when Clonard surged in the dying stages and brought the game to within a point, heading into attack, the gym held it’s breath. In the end, the siren saved the day, the result, victory to our boys by a solitary point. Many students brought gold coin donations to school.The money raised was also used buy flowers as a gift for our female teachers on the Westcourt staff to show our appreciation of Women on International Women’s day.

Patrick Reed – Westcourt Touchstone Leader Adventure Race Throughout semester 1, I completed Adventure Race and all the experiences it has to offer. My fellow classmates and I selected for Adventure Race completed a range of activities like surfing, swimming, ocean kayaking, mountain bike riding and trail running. We got to complete these activities at a wide range of locations, including swimming and kayaking at Eastern Beach, ocean kayaking and surfing at Torquay, mountain bike riding and trail running at the You Yang’s and surfing at Breamlea which was one of my personal favorites. Throughout the semester I was able to enhance my skills in a variety of areas I will use in the future. The class also gives you the opportunity to gain confidence in and around the water and in the great outdoors.The subject also offered a great outlet for my friends and I from the busy and organized schedule of normal school life and definitely gave my brain a break and a breath of fresh air.

Adventure race is very accommodating to every confidence and skill level, from beginner to advanced at any area everyone

has a chance to have fun, put themselves out their and take on new challenges.

Miller McKeegan Music Report A few boys had started to practice regularly in the Westcourt music room at lunchtimes. It was five weeks into Term 3 coming out of the first lockdown. The year had gone stale with a series of events either postponed or cancelled so Westcourt needed a bit of excitement. Mr O’Callaghan had been teaching our industry class the basics of a band so we started jamming with a few songs. Mr Parsons heard us playing and insisted on a small live performance at lunch which we happily accepted.

The band ‘Trash 4 Cash’ consisted of Heath Barnes on vocals, Ben Starinskas on bass guitar, Jack Pile on drums, Edmund Rice as support vocals and myself on lead guitar. We played a few ‘Chats’ songs as well as Ben’s original ‘Shapes Mob’. Although we were a little rough around the edges it was great fun and a good experience. Both teachers and the students got into the music and the feedback was really positive from everyone.

Playing to New Street on the steps was a nice little venue as the sun was shining.

Jesse Conroy Mullets for Mental Health Both James and myself grew our mullets for mental health in October. We were able to raise a few dollars but also raise importance in conversations about mental health. Not too mention plenty of conversations about our mullets.

Aussie Farrow and James Warfe Shrove Tuesday Shrove Tuesday, the first day of Lent, is a day of confession and absolution.We are forgiven for our sins and finalize our Lenten sacrifice or promise. Westcourt captured this sentiment by organizing pancakes for the students, a food commonly associated with Shrove Tuesday. A long line snaking through the corridor meant everyone wanted some, showing their commitment to Lent and their Lenten sacrifice. Pancakes are important as they are made to use up the rich foods like eggs and milk that otherwise would go to waste. We have pancakes today to emulate the pre-fasting period that those thousands of years ago had to endure. But really the boys forgot all of this with eyes bigger than stomachs as they all got devoured in a minute.

Postcards From Mt Sion I couldn’t have completed Year 10 without...

Jett Sansom - The support of family and friends Sensith Samarasekara - My teachers Hayden Goralski-Oreb - My Mates Dominic Zangari - Help from my mates and my teachers Ryan Connolly - My family and friends that I always stay connected with throughout lock down.

Michael Skrabo - My mates by my side

Oscar Fraatz - Definitely external help during lockdown Nat Stephens - The support from teachers and staff. The effort they put in to provide us with work for us to complete at home, to keep us engaged and learning. Also talking and chatting with friends.

Tyson Sunderland - I couldn't have completed Year 10 without 2020

What is your biggest achievement this year?

Jett Sansom - Matilda would've been one but I don't know Sensith Samarasekara - Getting through most of my subjects in isolation.

Hayden Goralski-Oreb - Getting 73 on my English exam Dominic Zangari - Making new friends Ryan Connolly - Making the ones for my footy club this year as it was one of my goals at the start of the year

Michael Skrabo - Being asked to move up to the next level for squad swimming Oscar Fraatz - 90% on food tech SAC earlier this year Nat Stephens - My biggest achievement this year would be getting consistent marks and results in all of my subjects Tyson Sunderland - Surviving 2020 I'm a bit sad there was no zombie apocalypse

I will always remember...

Josh Holtrust - The Toyota Supra is a BMW Z4 Macgregor Docherty - my friends Tarkyn Sayers - friends Conall Green - I will always remember how the school but mostly Year 11's coming together to support each other and looking out for each other through the hard times that we have been through

Jakob Wray - I will always remember the year of 2020 at Joey's to be a challenging yet exciting year that will be more frequently remembered than all others Alexander Con Foo - The real sense of camaraderie, particularly during difficult times, when the school community really came together as a united whole. A feeling where we were all one group, one community, that is in it together.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Josh Holtrust - Street racing people with slow cars Macgregor Docherty - At a hospital working as a doctor Tarkyn Sayers - Having a job and having a great life Conall Green - Enjoying life as much as I can Alexander Con Foo - I'm not sure. If anything beneficial could possibly be drawn from the year that has been 2020, it would

be perspective. Judging by the fragility of the world we live in, it would perhaps be unwise to look so far into the future, but there is nothing wrong with hoping for the best. If we have faith in not only the future, but also in ourselves, we can be assured that we can be wherever we want to be in 10 years, just by doing the best we can today in the present.

What advice would you give to your Year 7 self?

Jordan Schleter - Although procrastination seems nice it never is Tom Houlihan - The one thing I would tell myself is to make the most of every opportunity given to you. Over the years there are countless opportunities to try different opportunities given to you that you don't get outside of school, make the most of them while you can. Time flies through high school, use every resource given to you and try different things, because when you get to Year 12 and look back, you won't regret a thing.

Vedant Ahlawat - Just give it a crack and see how far you will get. You would be surprised at your own ability Jesse Stapleton - Take advantage of any and all opportunities, pick the subjects YOU want to do and don't stress too much, just enjoy yourself

Jackson Ryan - Year 12 isn't that bad, it isn't that good either Jack Bentley - Wouldn't really change how my years panned out if I could, so probably just keep on your way.

Declan Jones - Lose the comb-over hairstyle ASAP Liam Africa - Have as much fun as you can in Years 7-10.

Accelerate in at least 1 unit 3 and 4 subject, you will regret it if you don't.

Spencer Morrison - Stick with it and you'll be right.

Mackenzi Rouse - Do the subjects and activities you think you will enjoy and then see where the road takes you.

Matthew Issell - Take every opportunity you're given, you never know what it will lead to in the future!

What has been the biggest change in your life during your school years?

Jordan Schleter - Being able to adopt and overcome the various challenges.

Tom Houlihan - The biggest change in my life during my time at St Joseph's would have to be my confidence levels. I have taken on several leadership roles throughout my 5 years at the school, giving me the ability to effectively communicate with teachers and peers, which is a skill I will carry throughout life.

Jesse Stapleton - This year and everything about it Jackson Ryan - Remote learning and the way I have to shift my priorities to stay motivated

Jack Bentley - Growing up and seeing the difference physically and mentally, especially becoming wiser and more experienced over the years.

Declan Jones - Building relationships with friends and developing deeper connections.

Liam Africa - I became a lot more confident in myself as I got older Mackenzi Rouse - Realizing that the teachers are actually really cool (especially in the arts department) and not just someone who assigns boring tasks to students

What would be the theme song for the Class of 2020?

Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran (the overwhelming favourite!)

MT SION

Mt Sion Brophy Report Brophy picked up from where it left off in 2019 and enjoyed another fruitful year in all facets of College life in 2020.

Although there were many challenges throughout the year, the Brophy cohort approached these adversities with the upmost resilience and determination and I could not be more proud of how our students conducted themselves.

Led by our brilliant captains, Jack Farrow and Henry Van Til, our students displayed true heart and determination throughout the year and always found a positive amongst the many negatives. Acknowledgement must also go to Brophy’s amazing Homeroom team of Jason O’Connell, Cassandra Coogan, Adam Noble, Joanne Board, Michelle McRae, Belinda Milverton, Kate Gibbs, Tom Cashin and Huon Bertino who supported and guided their students throughout 2020.

Although we lost many of our annual College events and traditions were cancelled in 2020, in the time we were in school, the Brophy crew certainly made the most of the opportunities that were presented. Although our Swimming Carnival result (4th place) wasn’t what he had hoped for, our attendance rate and the attitude displayed by all participants was second to none and I was extremely proud of the way we went about it. True to the character, the Brophy boys bounced back in the Athletics Carnival and went back to back, taking out the title with a resounding 300 point victory.

It was an exceptional effort by all students involved and one that will build a platform for years to come.

Brophy students have always displayed exceptional leadership skills and this was evident during the 2021 student leadership announcements. It was extremely pleasing to have five Brophy students awarded positions from the 11 available.

Congratulations goes to the following students, Oscar Morrison (College Captain), William Baum (Deputy College Captain), Jack Doyle (Touchstone Prefect), Alex Con Foo (Touchstone Prefect) and Connor O’Sullivan (Touchstone Prefect). In relation to who will lead the Brophy students, Luke Bartolo and Campbell Burns have been announced as the House Captains for 2021, and Matt Tripodi and Josh Reissinger the Vice-Captains. On behalf of the Brophy cohort we are all proud of your achievements and confident that you’ll all do a fantastic job in your respective roles. Well done boys!

After the challenges of 2020, it is hoped 2021 will give us all some normality and the Brophy cohort can keep moving

forward in a positive trend. I am extremely excited about what the future holds for our team and I look forward to continuing to work with the Brophy boys next year. #TheHive.

Matt Walsh Butler Report What a year 2020 has been!

I want to start by acknowledging that this would not have been the year that anyone would have envisaged or hoped for.

However, I have been really pleased and proud of the way that the Butler boys have tackled the difficulties we have faced.

They have shown tremendous resilience. I particularly want to highlight the way that our Year 12s have managed to get on with the job. This year may not have been as fun as it would otherwise have been, but you can be proud of your efforts and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

I also want to acknowledge the incredible contributions of the Butler Homeroom teachers.There has never been a more difficult year to be a Homeroom teacher. The job went far beyond simple organization and was more about motivating and supporting than ever before. Lukas Capicchiano, Darryl Wedding, Rachel Ivey, Nelson Gnaccarini, Sam Hughes, Leah Irving, Peter Adams, Rebecca Spark, Michelle Cameron, Danny Maltese, Wei Zhang and Michael McMahon were all fully dedicated to the care of their Homeroom students. Their compassion, enthusiasm and dedication shone through, even as the year’s events no doubt took an emotional toll on them as well. I want to thank them all from the bottom of my heart.

In the second year of the new vertical system in the senior school, the aim was to build on the positive culture of Butler House. Named after one of St Joseph’s earliest Headmasters and with decades of associated history, we built a strong foundation in 2019. We continued on this year with our motto “Sweep the Sheds”. This is about taking care of the small details so that the bigger picture things take care of themselves. Our House Captains Jesse Sorgiovanni and Quinn Taylor led from the front with this and took every opportunity to support the young men in our house. I want to thank them for their stellar efforts during a very difficult year to be a leader.

As a house, we participated in many activities this year, including the Swimming Carnival (which we won) and the Athletics Carnival, plus a variety of house competitions and

MT SION

Mt Sion challenges. The Butler boys and their Homeroom teachers competed enthusiastically in all events. Some highlights were Simon Laffy’s “Butler train” costume at the Athletics Carnival and the Butler sausage sizzle and activities day we had in Term 3. Thank you to all of you for a memorable year.

I look forward to starting fresh in 2021 and continuing to build on what has already been achieved in Butler House over the last two years. I wish you all a happy and safe New Year with your families and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school after the summer holidays.

Patrick Prendergast, Butler House Leader Jordan Report In our second year of the new house structure at Mt Sion, the Houses had the opportunity to further develop house spirit and camaraderie. It goes without saying, that this year has been extremely hard for our students and staff in so many ways. However, we are proud that Jordan House has taken big steps forward in forming strong house spirit and positive relationships amongst both students and staff in the most trying of circumstances. The adversity of the year has shown how amazing Jordan House is and has only made us stronger. Jordan was led steadily through the year by the tremendous work of the House Captains Will Gray and Tom Houlihan. The students were supported and cared for by amazing homeroom teachers of David Shalders, Brad Smith, Aaron Westgarth, Michael McMahon, Natasha Scanlon, Michael Davies, Tom Trupkovic, Kirsten Hood, Jack Jenkins, Chrissie Rowlands, Margot Davies, Quentin Lydall and Neal Arthurson.

Up until COVID restrictions, gatherings were held on Friday mornings where students were acknowledged for their efforts along with general reminders. It was not until these gatherings were not able to happen, that we realised just how much we enjoyed them and needed them. They were an opportunity to hear from the Jordan leaders, share our successes, and each month, award the coveted ‘Jordan Joey’s Boy of the Month’ award. It was a chance for us to be together as a House and we look forward to next year when these can take place again.

Although many of the events this year were unable to take place, Jordan House had a successful swimming and athletics carnival. Each of these events saw Jordan House lead with integrity and strength, and we couldn’t be prouder of every boy who participated.

80

Towards the end of the Term 3 leadership positions were advertised for both Jordan and the College. It is with great pleasure to announce the following 2021 Jordan leaders: Oliver LaBonte and Rhys Devlin.

2020 was a year like no other. We have battled through personal loss and a global pandemic.This adversity has shown us what it means to be a part of the Joey’s community, and to be member of the Jordan House. We feel so proud of how each of the students have conducted themselves, and the resilience each of them has shown. We are all looking forward to 2021, but will carry the lessons from this year and be stronger for them.

Lauren Flint, Kate McLaren & Jono Holt - Jordan House Leaders Jordan Captains Reports What an amazing time we’ve had here at Joey’s after the past six years. We’ve been through six swimming and athletic carnivals, a collection of camps and consumed countless snags at the VCAL barbeques. This year hasn’t turned out exactly the way we had dreamed it to be, but it just means we are able to look back on the past years at Joey’s more fondly.

From Year 7 to now we’ve made memories and mates that will stick with us for life, with connections from all the way back in our first year still strong. Here in Jordan we’ve made the strongest connections possible, house spirit at events consistently bought everyone together without failure, as differences between boys were forgotten instantly and bonds were formed.

The Jordan boys have had a tough run this year, coming a close second to Butler and Brophy at each of the carnivals, but this hasn’t meant we’ve created some incredible days that I’m sure none of us will forget. The Swimming Carnival was one to behold, the Redbacks showed up as a force to be reckoned with. It wasn’t our day, but watching the heroic Griffin Wilson almost drowning a struggling Year 7 by throwing a boogie board onto his head, and seeing Jake Charles jump too early in the all-important Mitchell Classic, meant the day out at Kardinia Pool was one to remember. The Athletics day was another incredible event that all the boys got involved in lifting house spirit to an all new level. The highlights for the Jordan boys were Will Gray taking home the win in the final 100m Sprint by a mile, while Tom Hockley-Salmon updated the history books being the first ever Year 12 to win the College Classic.

Mt Sion The year 2020 will certainly go down as our most memorable at St Joseph’s. Life and the world as we know it has paused.

We have faced many challenges whilst learning from home, but with determination and commitment our learning has continued with video conferencing and online lessons. Along with the disruption to our education, the Year 12’s have missed celebrating and memory making. Celebrations such as Renewals, our Graduation Ceremony, sporting events and 18th birthdays are Year 12 ‘rites of passage’, which we will sadly have no memories of. We have also missed socially interacting with our friends, both in and outside the classroom.

The kicking of the footy at recess, the basketball matches on the courts and the conversations and laughs whilst sitting around the school yard are just memories. We have made it work however, to stay connected, with the power of social media, texting, zoom calls and class group chats.

The upside to remote learning, apart from wearing your ‘trackies’ in class and eating at any time of the day was being given the chance to hit reset on your school life. 2020 has certainly had its challenges, but it has enabled us to become learners that are more independent and allowed us to build on life skills, such as resilience and adaptability.

Will Gray Foley Report Foley House has had a positive and productive 2020 with many highlights and memorable moments. Throughout the year many Foley lads have stepped up and excelled both within and outside College life.The Foley lads have been led by great work from House Captains Matt Manly and Callum O’Leary, Deputy House Captains Zac Muir, Tom Scott and Lachlan Corrigan. These Foley leaders were supported by the Year 12 College Leaders of Jolyon Simpson (Deputy College Captain), Conor Killury and Lachlan Kelly (Touchstone Prefects), Year 11 College Leaders Anton Ridgway (Touchstone Leader) and Year 10 College Leaders Zak Ekberg and Arden Cunneen (Touchstone Leaders). I personally thank all the above leaders for their fantastic work in leading, motivating and challenging the Foley students.

2020 has been a year like no other. The Foley lads have performed extremely well with their College endeavours and have been very well supported by the Foley Homeroom Team comprised of Simon Jovic, Michelle Anderson, Leanne Adams, Doug Byrt, Anna Fazio, Macaulay Kirsopp, Peter Griffin, Amy Ross, Bryson Milverton, Claire Walker and Tom Arthuson –

thank you team for your hard work and dedication.

2021 will be a new and exciting year and I look forward to continuing to work with the Foley lads. Go Foley!

Dan Hale Foley leaders Reports What a year, I can definitely say one of a kind. It is fair to say that it has been challenging but along with this, opportunities of a lifetime have arose, developing the skills of how to act in difficult times, being able to change with the environment, it has only made not only myself stronger, but everyone as individuals. I am happy to see how far we have come. Go Foley!!!

Matt Manly This year has been full of many ups and downs, but from these struggles we managed find opportunities to create stronger connections with each other and make our learning environment better for all students.

Callum O’Leary My experience as a part of the Foley leadership team has still been very enjoyable. The challenges we faced were difficult, but I think it has been a great learning curve in showing me how to adapt. The best moment for me was being a part of the camaraderie that came with athletics day, and just getting around each other and getting behind all the boys by carrying on and chanting was my highlight for the year.

Zac Muir From a year of difficulty, the positives have grown. From the athletics carnival to online meetings. A year that has brought us closer together and further prepared for challenges in the future. One that has ensured us Foley boys have grown individually and collectively. Go Foley!

Tom Scott Being a Foley leader was a great experience personally as I was able to do all sorts of roles in it, but the greatest role I had by far was being the Foley Turtle. Also helping out at the sporting carnivals to get the Foley house motivated was an amazing experience as well.

OUR COLLEGE COMMUNITY

Building Works In 2020, the College completed the construction of the extension to the Peter Canon Performing Arts Centre (PAC).

The building was officially handed back in October and as a result of COVID-19 was used sparingly and at a much-reduced capacity during the latter part of the year. The actual works involved an extension to the existing cantilever section over the quadrangle.

Now completed the seating capacity of the PAC has been increased from 260 to 350, thus enabling full year level assemblies to be staged in the facility. The cost of the project was approximately $1.3M and a portion of the costs were supported by the highly successful Every Boy, Every Dream capital fund raising appeal.

During the year a much-needed display screen/scoreboard was fitted to the Joseph Centre for use on Zampatti Oval.

Originally costs were to be shared between the College, St Joseph’s Cricket Club and our Old Collegians. However, thanks to the generosity of the College Foundation who were seeking a project to support linked to their 25th Year celebrations, the project costs were actually split between the Foundation, our Old Collegians and St Joseph’s Cricket Club.

The screen gives the College a highly visible display and scoreboard capabilities perfect for school sports days as well as school cricket and football matches. It also offers flexibility in providing another option of a large scale meeting space for student gatherings.

Designs were finalized for the building of a Pavilion on Carey Oval in 2020 however a VCAT hearing was required. The hearing, initially set for March, was also impacted by COVID-19 and postponed to November.

After a successful hearing decision in favour of the College, a building permit was granted and this project will commence in 2021. The project will provide much needed male and female change room facilities in this area of the College. The design also incorporates a kitchenette and classroom learning space.

The cost of the project is anticipated to be approximately $1.3M. The second major project for completion in 2021 will be classrooms on the bottom floor of the Peter Chanel Centre.

These will include general classrooms and a purpose-built STEM area to support the teaching of science, technology, engineering and maths. This project will be put out for tender in the early part of 2021 with completion of the project expected in the latter half of the year in readiness for 2022. The anticipated cost of the project is $2.5M and the completion of this building then plays a vital role in providing spaces necessary to assist us to move through the next stages of our Master Plan.The updated Master Plan was presented to the College Advisory Council in May 2020.

Andrew Dowd, Business Manager

Zampatti Oval Digital Scoreboard

College Board This year has been a challenging year for all of us with the Board being no exception.The Board has continued to operate with meetings being held remotely. While this has presented challenges at times, it has enabled the Board to continue to work with the school to ensure we provide support and assistance over many areas.

The Board has been extremely supportive of the school in its approach and work in the remote learning area which needed to be put in place at short notice. The school has done a wonderful job of continuing to provide quality education in difficult circumstances.

Another difficult challenge was the death of two students earlier in the year. Such a tragic loss. Our hearts went out to the families and friends of the boys. The Board has been supportive of staff and students during these difficult times.

The work undertaken by our staff to support our students in the area of mental health has been amazing.

This year we also saw the completion of our Performing Arts Centre upgrade which has provided a great space for the school.

Mark Nicholls has been a Board member for eight years and for much of that time he has been a member of the Board Executive. As an Old Collegian he has a passion for ensuring St Joseph’s continues to thrive and he has added greatly to our Board discussions.

Br Roger Cripps has been a faithful contributor to our Board and College for 13 years. As an experienced Principal, Roger’s priorities were always the wellbeing of the students.

We wish Jamie, Mark and Roger well and sincerely thank them for their generous support of St Joseph’s College.

I would like to thank and acknowledge the dedicated staff of the College and all members of the many groups who support the College. I thank our Principal Tony Paatsch, Deputy Principal’s Michelle Brodrick and Mark Kennedy, Business Manager Andrew Dowd, Assistant Adele Watt and College Leaders for their willingness to make this College so successful in 2020.

On behalf of the board I wish you all a safe New Year.

Joanne van Slageren, Board Chairperson

Sadly we farewell three Board members this year. Jamie Crough has been a member of the Finance and planning subcommittee for a number of years before joining the Board in 2020. Jamie has been of great assistance in making the complex financial systems seem simple.

OUR COLLEGE COMMUNITY

Celebrating

College Foundation While this report is mainly about our achievements over the challenging last calendar year, it also marks the Foundation’s 25th anniversary at the same time as the College celebrates its 85th Year.

In this regard, not withstanding the great efforts of all of those who have assisted in our growth and development over the years, a special note of gratitude goes to the then Principal Peter Cannon and the inaugural Foundation Chair, Dennis McGrath.

While the concept of establishing a Foundation had been discussed at various levels over several years, it was Peter and Dennis who placed it firmly on the action item list, making the very straight forward case that, to continue to invest in the future delivery of the best Catholic education for boys in the Geelong region, St Joseph’s College must have its own Foundation. The rest, as they say, is history.

While we have just only started a multi-generation journey to help ensure that St Joseph’s lives on in perpetuity, I can say, with some pride, that we have come a long way over these past 25 years. Our Foundation community has played a significant role in supporting College financial needs be they traditional bricks and mortar projects or contributions to student bursaries.

YEARS

1995-2020 ST JOSEPH’S COLLEGE GEELONG

F O U N D AT I O N

A benefit not only for the students but also a benefit to the broader St Joseph’s community.

Throughout 2020 we continue to support music students through the provision of scholarships. This assists with the cost of continuing their studies where they may otherwise be unable to do so.

Through the efforts of the schools Development team, the College Foundation is now well recognised throughout our community. With such a solid base from which to build upon, we have the opportunity to grow and become a substantial philanthropic body by 2030.

The Foundation Committee members have a range of diverse skills along with business and life experiences and they use these to formulate strategies and initiatives to achieve this goal. I look forward to sharing some with you throughout next year.

An exceptional community exists around Joey’s that can be relied upon to support the boys whenever there is a need to do so. In 2020, a difficult year for many, the community rallied to raise $100K for our Bursary Appeal “A Step Towards His Future” and the Foundation was able to contribute a further $30K to support those families impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Of course, as I write, we all find ourselves, one way or another, amid a global health and economic crisis in 2020. However, as the fog clears and normal life resumes, take a moment to consider the following: The Foundation, through your generosity, may well have funded the education of a future epidemiologist or immunologist who prevents or tackles another world crisis such as a viral pandemic. That is the true power of educational philanthropy.

On behalf of its members the Foundation made a contribution toward the electronic scoreboard located on Zampatti Oval.

In the meantime, as Chair of the Foundation, I would like to extend our best wishes to you and your family – stay well.

Parents & Friends

From our wonderful Josephine's dinner and SJOCA Golf Day that were both held in March, to not long after hosting Zooms, live streaming and facetime seemed to be a constant in our world.

But everyone rallied around and while we could not host our community in person, the support the community gave to our "A Step Towards His Future" campaign was outstanding, given the environment which we faced.

The need was still for our Foundation experiencing financial example of support

great to support those in need, and to also contribute $30,000 to families hardship due to COVID, a great in the College community.

Our community groups work tirelessly to support the ongoing vision and mission of the College, and there is a remarkable opportunity for you all to be involved in College life by volunteering on one of our many committees, be it Parents and Friends, canteen and Men's Association.

Our Comedy Night with over 150 tickets purchased, the Trivia Night, Fun Food Friday, Old Collegians Reunion, TriUMPH and the Annual Fashion Dinner.

However, we look forward to reinstating these events in 2021 – COVID permitting!

This is particularly important as the funds raised by the Parents & Friends are distributed to worthy causes within our school community and also our global community. We remain committed to the parishes in Uganda, the St Joseph’s Bursary Program and, especially after such a year as 2020, our Mental Health and Wellbeing programs and activities. All going to plan, we will be holding our Comedy Night in Term 1 as by then we will all be in need of a good laugh!

Our thoughts and prayers are with those of our school community who have been directly affected by the coronavirus pandemic this year. We take this moment to thank all those who attended the first meetings of 2020 in person and then via zoom.

More than ever we wish you a safe, happy and healthy New Year.

We hope you enjoy reading the highlights and successes of 2020 and we look forward to your participation and presence as we hope to return bigger and better in 2021.

If there is one thing 2020 taught us, be grateful for what we have, and for what is yet to come, it can change in an instant.

It goes without saying that 2020 was a year out of left field.

This became evident quite quickly as we postponed and then progressively cancelled what was to be a calendar full of events.

2020! What a year for our community. For our College to celebrate 85 Years in 2020, was a year in which our community groups did not get to have the ongoing impact we hope and wish for each year.

OUR COMMUNITY

Old Collegians 2020 was a year that has presented our Old Collegians with many challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic is much more than just a health crisis. It has weakened the fabric of our societies and lifestyle. It has been extremely tough for many business owners and some families within our community have struggled during these trying times. Looking ahead, we need to reflect on the lessons learned – and ensure we look after each other.

A warm welcome to the Class of 2020 who joined the SJOCA as life members. Congratulations on completing your secondary education at St Joseph’s College, we hope you made many lifelong friendships through your journey and that you can continue your connection for many years to come through the Old Collegians’ Association. Unfortunately the class of 2020 have had to endure what most would say will be the toughest year of their education. The 2020 class have had many obstacles thrown at them during the year. They have gone through many adversities together. It is important to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity will be one of your biggest advantages in the future.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the College as part of the Young Joey’s Connection (YJC), that was established in 2020, and will be a great way to connect in your initial years out of the College.

We were also saddened during the year when Tony Honner one of our committee members, lost his beloved wife Katrina.

We wish Tony and his family our condolences and our prayers are with you.

At the AGM of 2020 the following committee was elected: Justin O’Brien - President

We are always interested in adding to the SJOCA committee, so if you are interested please don’t hesitate to make contact.

On Sunday 15 March the Annual St Joseph’s College Old Collegians’ Golf Day was held at 13th Beach Golf Links Barwon Heads. Approximately 160 players took part in an Ambrose-style team competition. The conditions on the day were ideal and we were very lucky with the timing because following that day, all golf events in Victoria were cancelled due to COVID-19.

We thank all our generous sponsors for their wonderful support. To our major sponsor David Bowles and his team at Associated Cold Tread Tyres, we thank you for your outstanding support over many years. 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. Thanks to all involved who helped raise just over $16,000 on the day. We look forward to seeing many of you again at the 2021 event.

Unfortunately the COVID-19 situation worsened in late March and as a result the remainder of our events for 2020 were cancelled. It was very disappointing that we were not able to hold our Annual Reunions in May, and our Boarder’s reunion in November, which many Old Collegians look forward to. We did manage to have the class of 1970 join together for a Zoom Golf Day

reunion, to celebrate 50 years.

Please notify the College if you change your contact details.

The Mass for deceased old collegians, staff and benefactors was also cancelled. It is important to reflect on those old collegians and family members that passed away during the year. As a result of the pandemic, many of our loved ones who passed away were not able to get the farewell they deserved. We did however acknowledge all those through the College Social media platforms, which had a lovely response to the posts on instagram and facebook pages.

Thank you to all committee members for their dedicated commitment to the Association and to St Joseph’s. Also thank you to Kristen Gleeson and Julie Cole for their continued support and commitment to SJOCA.We would also like to wish Julie every success in her new role, she has done a fantastic job working with the Old Collegians and Foundation in connecting with the older generation of our Alumni.

Justin O’Brien - President

We again donated $20,000 to the College bursary program, which assists families in need with the opportunity to send their boy to St Joseph’s College. The overwhelming response to the ‘A Step Towards his Future’ campaign in June, to raise over $100,000 towards the Bursary program is testament to the fantastic support of the wider College community.

We also contributed $12,500 for a new electronic scoreboard on Zampatti Oval, that will be used for many purposes, as the College requires throughout the year and for the St Joseph’s Cricket Club. It is also great to see the improved condition of the O’Driscol Oval which we contributed funding support towards in 2019.

We continue to try and build our database of members and it is important that you keep your contact details up to date.

Team of Champions This year, St Joseph’s College celebrates its 85th Anniversary.

As it has been a difficult year to gather and celebrate, we have taken the opportunity to engage with four of our alumni who have been involved at the highest level of AFL Football, to select their ‘Team of Champions’. The Herald Sun published a fabulous piece celebrating this team of talented Alumni.

With an impressive list of 56 Old Collegians who have played VFL / AFL football, from Jim Fitzgerald at Geelong Football Club in1944 through to Matthew Ling, who made his debut for the Sydney Swans in 2020. A further three alumni have coached at VFL / AFL level, Bill McMaster, Mark Neeld, and Brendan McCartney.

The Team of Champions consisting of 22 players, has been selected from this outstanding cohort.

OUR COMMUNITY

Mens Association We commenced the year full of hope and vigour, Team 3 started the year off for the Men’s Association and Team 4 ended the year a weekend later due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Little did we know that these would be the only two working bees to held for the year.

As such, it leaves very little to report on the activities of the Association for the 2020.

We all struggled with the challenges that the year presented, from lack of toilet paper to working from home whilst home schooling, the ring of steel and lockdowns, none of us could have predicted these events as we ventured into the start of another year.

early example of support from the ‘Ground Improvements Committee’ was a car raffle, which raised $3,000 to ensure that the works to develop Carey Oval were completed by the end of 1969. (Details supplied by the SJC Heritage Centre.)

Many thanks to all that kept in touch with myself throughout the year and hoping for a better year next year Pierre Belluzzo, Property Manager

What has surprised me, is the commitment of team members who kept in touch with myself and offered to come to the College and perform works, to assist the maintenance and upkeep of the grounds. I feel that some had their properties so well manicured that they were looking for more projects to keep themselves busy.

The working bees on each Sunday of term are more than an opportunity to perform maintenance around the College, it is a chance to catch up with other fathers and mates, discuss all the important “stuff” (sports and politics) and as one team member stated, “Just to be a bloke with other blokes”. The tone from most callers was that they missed the camaraderie the working bees offered.

In a year of firsts, this the first time in the history of the Men’s Association / Father’s Committee that we have not run for the year. The Association has a proud history of assisting the College in one form or another since the early 60’s and an

Care Group The St Joseph’s College Care Group was formed to assist families during times of crisis (eg. illness, bereavement or special circumstances). This has been an extremely difficult year with COVID and unwell families. 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. We have been able to assist many families, some ongoing throughout the year. 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 have continued the initiative where the students were given the opportunity to cook care meals and have those cooking hours recognised for Community service.

This has been popular and I’d like to thank those students for their compassion and support.

116

This year we were supported by the school canteen staff who cooked delicious, homemade and nutritious meals for our unwell families. I sincerely thank our wonderful band of volunteer cooks / helpers who have generously prepared and provided many meals for others throughout 2020. 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 very much.

I would like to acknowledge the work of our coordinators Veronica van Galen & Linda Doherty as well as canteen staff Dani Thompson & Karen Sherman. As the year comes to a close, we would like to acknowledge their contribution. All ladies have been a fantastic support to us here at the College in overseeing the meals. Thank you so much.

I wish all our families good health and happiness for the new year and look forward to your ongoing support again in 2021.

Adele Watt– SJC Care Group & Principal’s Personal Assistant

Josephines This group was formed to provide yet another avenue for families, in particular mothers, both present and past, to stay connected and feel they will always be a part of this wonderful community and educational institution that is St Joseph’s College Geelong.

We usually hold two events annually however this year we were only able to have one gathering due to COVID-19. In March we had 140 guests for dinner at Truffelduck. Our guest speakers were Todd & Jacqui Devine who shared the journey their son George has had at St Joseph College. It was clear that George was and still is an integral part of St Joseph’s.

They included a video of his final year sports day showing the support and love his fellow students and teachers have for George as he was supported to triumph and win the race.

There was not a dry eye in the room as compassion and sportsmanship was plain to see. George is now a member of staff at St Joseph’s in the administration area. We thank them very much for sharing their story.

Mary led us in prayer for those members in our community, who had family and friends who were unwell or struggling

at this time. We also pray for those who have passed away during the year.

At these functions, we are not only catching up with one another or making new friendships, but also helping the College Educational Support Program as $5 from every ticket sold is directed to helping those students who are in most need through the purchase of equipment and programs to enhance their learning and emotional development. The demand for support continues to grow each year with the college supporting around 500 students next year.

We are excited to announce that the annual Josephine’s dinner will be on Thursday the 25 March 2021 at Truffelduck.

We look forward to gathering together in person on this date.

We are hopeful of things returning closer to normal next year and look forward to seeing you all and welcoming the newest Josephine’s: mothers of the class of 2020.

Best wishes, Jackie Richards and Nat Clifford

St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club Season 2020 will go down as the year that never was. It was incredibly disappointing for all involved to work so hard during the off season to only have the season cancelled so early on.

the co-operation of the City of Greater Geelong we have been able to fast track the building project which will see it completed in time for the new season.

During the early phase of COVID we held great hope and had a club mantra of “Ready to Play” and I am really proud of the attitude with which all of our volunteers, coaches and team administrators adopted a positive “can do” attitude to ensure that if the opportunity arose that we were ready to go.

Unfortunately, despite all of the additional work undertaken and implementation of COVID safe plans and alike we were only able to participate in 1-2 games prior to AFL Barwon, cancelling the season, something which our club fully supports.

The club is extremely grateful and would like to thank the many junior parents who, despite having had a very modified season decided not to seek reimbursement for the child’s registration fees. Your support has helped the club financially this year, particularly at a time when many of our sponsors have needed to focus on their businesses. It has also allowed the club to continue it’s financial support for the Michael Carmody Foundation in 2020, a partnership which we greatly value. Thanks to Kristen Gleeson, Nick Maxwell and Brett Bentley who do so much to ensure the success of the Foundation.

They say that every cloud has a silver lining, and for us that silver lining was our ability to commence construction of our club rooms project. Upon completion, this new building will provide us new social rooms, kitchen and bar facilities but importantly for our 800 participants, of which 50% are female, six gender neutral change rooms and bathroom facilities.

Our initial timeline had us being without social rooms and change rooms for a large portion of the 2021 season but with

We are well into planning for season 2021 in the hope that we can get ourselves underway in the new COVID normal environment. Think it’s fair to say that we are all looking forward to getting out and enjoying some community sport.

Todd Devine, President St Joseph’s Football and Netball Club

Heritage Centre Since 1857, when St Augustine’s Orphanage opened, there have been boys present on Newtown Hill. In 1889, the current VCE building was constructed to house St Joseph’s Boarding school, which opened in March 1890. Sharing the site with the Orphanage, St Joseph’s functioned until early 1893, when St Patrick’s in Ballarat opened; Bishop Gould encouraged parents to send their sons there rather than St Joseph’s.

On Sunday 3 February 1935, The Archbishop of Melbourne, Dr Mannix reopened and blessed St Joseph’s College. The following Monday 120 boys ranging in age from eight to seventeen began their education. For 85 years, St Joseph’s College has continued the work of the Christian Brothers educating boys, encouraging them to live lives of ‘Compassion, Innovation and Integrity’.

2020 will be a year that St Joseph’s Community, and the world will never forget. For most of its 85th Anniversary year the

buildings and grounds of St Joseph’s College have been almost deserted, the soul of the College, its boys isolated from their friends, and teachers. Yet as they have done many times in the past 85 years I am sure the ‘Boys on Newtown Hill’, will overcome the difficulties of this year.

In honour of the last 85 years, I am sharing two photographs from opening day and a photograph of Brother R.X Butler the Principal in 1935 (these photograph’s are from the College Heritage Collection) and excerpts from the Geelong Advertiser’s 150th Anniversary edition article on the opening of the College. Brother McCarthy, the Assistant Superior of the Christian Brothers World Order and the Superior of the Order in Australia, gave the opening day speech. I hope that you enjoy the extracts from his speech as originally reported in a 1935 edition of the Geelong Advertiser.

Susan Belluzzo, College Archivist The Heritage Centre is located on the corner of Shannon Ave and Lesley St, and is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8.00am – 4.00pm

Valete Tom Barnett (Year 11) student passed away tragically on 24 February. Our thoughts are with the family.

Lazo Delkovski passed away peacefully at 87 years of age. Grandfather to Ethan current (Year 10) and Nicholas Naumovski (Year 12). Rest in peace.

Trevor Earle, former Foundation Chair (1997 – 1998) passed away on Thursday 3 December. Trevor was a member of the SJC Men’s Association working team for many years along with former Principal Peter Cannon on the same team. The famous Ken Moorfoot was their Captain. The Foundation was somewhat struggling during the initial establishment and Peter asked Trevor if he would take over and be the Foundation Chair from 1997 which he accepted. Trevor was in the role for two years until Kevin Costa became Chair in 1999. Trevor began life as a fitter and turned at Ford, and he became a highly successful Manager of the Engine Plant.

Jan Earle, is one of longest standing volunteers here at Joey’s, in particular for her work in the canteen feeding generations of boys for over 30 years. She is also a College Foundation member, McNeill Society member and a Josephine.

Possum Skin Cloak Our story began many years ago. The Old People sent this story to us. We heard them speak through our hearts to our spirits.

They told us what to do, they are still telling us what to do. Their message, our story, is to return the cloaks to our people, to reclaim, to regenerate, revitalise and remember. To remember what those cloaks mean to us and tell the stories of our People and Country.

Possum skin cloaks are one of the most sacred expressions of traditional South Eastern Aboriginal peoples. Cloaks are vessels for the body and spirit, they connect people with Country and community, they offer pride, dignity and respect. At the same time, cloaks can be one of our most intimate belongings.

Making a cloak is a physical, spiritual and emotional journey that requires patience, dedication and support of your Ancestors, Elders and family. Every person’s journey and relationship with cloaks will be ‘same, same but different’.

Cloaks embody and strengthen identity. The designs can represent Clan, Country, Dreaming, personal and contemporary identities and stories.

SJC Cloak Initiator - Kaleb Owen 2019 SJC Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander der Captain Senior Cloak Maker - Vicki Couzenss Cloak Facilitator - Mitch Marney

Design and production: Miss Lauren Salcombe Printing: Adams Print Photography: Miss Lauren Salcombe, MSP Photography and our many talented staff and students who love to show you all what is happening at SJC. To all of our staff and contributing students. Thank you.
