Farewell and Thanksgiving Mass.

Mr Tony Maxfield

Year 7 Blue This year’s Farewell and Thanksgiving Mass was very special, thanks to Fr Michael who gave a wonderful homily. The Mass was attended by many parents of the Year 7 students.

The Year 7 students paid a special tribute to Dean Tarca in their powerpoint slide show. A commemorative plaque was also brought up in the offertory procession which will be placed in the Chapel at a later date.

Mrs Lamborn and the Year 5/6 Choral Group did a wonderful job with the singing. Mass was followed by a lunch for the Year 7 students and their parents in Gibney Hall.

For Dean Tarca from 7 Blue

7 Blue…..Coming Through!

In Term One we got a new guy, He started off a little shy. But Andrew became really cool, And now he is a part of our school. Mr Maxfield was my new teacher, He has turned out to be quite a preacher. We got our Year 4 peers in Term One, Mine turned out to be my teacher’s son. For science we made poppers for balloons, And mine was working really soon. We read a book about a girl in Afghanistan, Being ruled by the Taliban. In Term Two we had Confirmation, The program was a big sensation. I wasn’t actually being confirmed, But the retreat and mass were superb. At the end of term we had the “Canberra Tour”, I was scared of flying but found a cure. My friends made it a smooth run, And the plane trip was very much fun. We arrived in Sydney near the coast, I liked the sights there the most. Just down the road was the Opera House, Every sight was good to browse. In Term Three we learnt about the World Wars, They broke about a hundred laws. We also learnt about the Amazon and Daintree, These beautiful Rainforests did interest me.

We all had an excellent year, Except for sharing a bit of a tear. Over Dean Tarca’s tragic passing away, But our memories of him will surely stay. This sad time happened in Term Four, Now we have to move on and learn some more. I have had a great year, And had heaps of fun with my Year 4 peer. Next year we go to Year 8, It hasn’t come too early or late. But I will miss the Junior School, Because it has been really cool.

Term One

The first day of school started and everyone was excited to see their friends. Straight away it was into the swimming trials. The following week we had the whole school Ash Wednesday Mass at Mr Gavin Bell Centenary Park and we then Year 7 Green had the House Swimming Carnival at Beatty Park. It was a good day with lots of strong performances. Chanel won the carnival. In Week Three we had the summer sport trials where we could try out the sports that we wanted to do. Our Interschool Swimming Carnival at Challenge Stadium followed this and we had our first sport fixture against Aquinas. In class we were studying Japan. We looked at many aspects of their daily life and compared it to ours in Australia. We also investigated many of the natural disasters that have occurred in Japan - especially earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes. The term finished off with a great Summer Lightning Carnival. Term One was a great start to 2005 and everybody enjoyed it.

Term Two

It was a great start to the term with the Anzac Day Ceremony starting at 8:30. The whole school gathered to honour the Anzac soldiers in a special service. On the next Monday, we visited Wheelchairs for Kids, which is an organisation founded by volunteers. They make wheelchairs for kids who have lost their legs through land mines. It is a great organisation. The sport fixtures started in Term Two and we played Hale in our first game. We played five games for the term, with the rugby, football, hockey and soccer teams all doing well. During Term Two we went on our religious retreat to Camp Kelly, to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. On 9 June at 7pm we received the Sacrament, it was a great ceremony and we all felt very excited. We left for Canberra on 25 July and headed to Sydney first. The Canberra tour was a great experience for all of us. We all learnt lots of things, especially about our Government. Term Two was a great term with many memories that will last forever.

Term Three

Term Three was a ripper of a term with us finishing off our winter sports program. In Week Two we had the Ian MacRae Cup at Aquinas. The Ian MacRae Cup is a competition between Trinity and Aquinas at football.

The next week was very busy for us with our WALNA testing. We also had to practice for our assembly, which was singing the footy anthem “The Holy Grail”. In class we studied Ancient Egypt and created some fantastic Egyptian scenes. We also created some great PowerPoint presentations on another ancient civilisation. Boden and I chose to study the Ancient Greeks for our presentation. During Week Four we had the Lightning Carnival, all teams did really well and thoroughly enjoyed the day. On the 17 August we had our House Cross Country Carnival and Queens won by 3 points over Campion. The very next day we started our athletics training for the carnival in four weeks time.

Week Six of term was Book Week and the theme was ‘Rocks’. There were a lot of entries and all of them were fantastic. The following Friday we had our Fathers’ Day Breakfast and everybody had a sausage in a bun with their dad. It was a lot of fun.

During Week Eight we had the House Athletics Carnival which was close all the way through, but Queens came out on top. On the final day of term we went on the big walk. This is always a fun day!!

Term Four

Term Four has been a very busy term with many Christmas activities and we are all excited and nervous about our last term in the Junior School. We had many rehearsals for our Concert and Presentation Night and after a delay due to bad weather the evening turned out to be very successful.
