From the Principal

Welcome Back to Term 2!

I hope that students, staff and families enjoyed a happy and restful break over the Easter holiday period. I’m looking forward to the term ahead and the opportunities for students to engage and excel in the classroom, as well as in all co-curricular activities.

With the relaxed COVID regulations now operating, more co-curricular opportunities have opened up for your daughters to try something new, either solo or in a team. Please see further below.

ANZAC Day

On Monday 25 April, our nation stopped for ANZAC Day to both remember and commemorate all those Australians who have fallen in theatres of war or conflict. As a College community, we stopped on Wednesday morning for a special ANZAC Day Assembly to commemorate this significant event. Mrs Alvarez (Assistant Principal) shares details of this in the next section of this newsletter.

Debating and Chess Competitions – Sign Up!

Good luck to all the students who are involved in Debating and Chess, which begin this week. Many of you would have enjoyed watching The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix last year. It highlighted a teenage girl’s love of Chess. Along with Debating and Public Speaking, these are excellent opportunities for students of all abilities. I encourage students to join up and participate. We have some very dedicated and enthusiastic staff members coaching and coordinating.

Welcome to New Staff

• Mr Derek Li, Science Teacher
• Mrs Elvira Vukancic, HSIE Teacher (job-sharing with Mrs Karin Anthony)
• Mrs Kathy Labbozzetta, Learning Support Officer
• Mrs Paula Daghero, Curriculum & Wellbeing Support Officer
• Mrs Hayley Stuart, Enrolments Officer
• Mrs Maria Marino, Attendance Officer

Year 8 Social Night – Following the Successful Year 7 Evening Last Term

Last Friday night, Cerdon Plaza was again buzzing with our second parent and student Social Night, this time welcoming Year 8. This friendly and sparkling night has been a long time coming, with COVID changing our plans last year.

The pizza van was a big hit, offering delicious flavours and complementing the happy environment for great conversation. Our Year 11 AMICA Leaders prepared a fun set of activities for students, thereby giving our Year 8 parents the opportunity to socialise and get to know each other further.

Thanks to all who were part of the planning and hospitality on the night, especially the following:

• Our Year 7 Parent Engagement Group in our stylish MSCW aprons
• Our Year 12 and 11 Hospitality students, supported by
  teachers Mrs Della Vedova, Mrs Erin Healey and Mrs Leonie Clarke
• The Year 11 Amica Leaders, supported by our Leader of Wellbeing, Ms Angela Bowland and Assistant Leader of Wellbeing, Ms Gemma Muller

Mother’s Day

Each year on the second Sunday in May, we celebrate Mother’s Day. Although Mother’s Day should be every day of the year, on this special occasion we remember the significant women who have made a difference in our lives and in some way offer them our great gratitude for the positive impact they have made.

So this Sunday, you may celebrate your Mum by giving a card, flowers and gift or perhaps by bringing her breakfast in bed. Alternatively, as a family, you may enjoy lunch or dinner together. For those whose Mum is no longer with us, you might visit her gravesite and recall happy memories. For those that couldn’t be together, you may chat on the phone. No matter the circumstance, we make time every year to celebrate and give thanks with a special ceremony and celebration.

On Wednesday evening, as a College community, we gave our own ‘thanks’. We began with our Mother’s Day Mass followed by a special supper on Cerdon Plaza. Year 12 mum, Louise FitzGerald (mother of Jacinta in Year 12), shared a very uplifting address on the joys of motherhood.

Thanks to all those who were part of the planning and hospitality on the night, with special thanks to our Year 9 Parent Engagement Group of parents coordinated by Joanne Sykes, as well as our Hospitality staff, Leonie Clarke, Virginia El-Koura and Clare Scott, who managed the kitchen operations, with Rachel Harkin and Chrissy O’Neill overseeing decorations.  

Each of our mums received a special bookmark and chocolate treat to remember the event. 

The Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn

The Humpty Dumpty Foundation Balmoral Burn is celebrating its 20th year. It is an opportunity for our students and staff to be involved in the broader community. It is a physical challenge but one that will make a huge
difference for kids in Australian hospitals and those medical professionals on the frontline.

The Humpty Dumpty Foundation is a children’s charity that, for more than 30 years, has been purchasing essential and often life-saving medical equipment for sick and injured children in Paediatric Wards, Neonatal
Units, and Maternity and Emergency Departments in hospitals across Australia. It now donates vital equipment to over 400 metropolitan and rural hospitals.

This year I am taking the challenge to run 420 metres up Sydney’s steepest street and I invite the community to run with me! 

Students can enter individually or as a team. You can run, walk, push a pram, walk your dog or try the obstacle course and more. It can be an individual or family affair! There are almost 20 different race categories.

Date: Sunday 29 May

Venue: Awaba Street, Balmoral 

Registration: Students register on the Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn website below

www.balmoralburn.com.au

In recognition of student donations through the registration process, as well as the time commitment students will give on Sunday morning, 29 May, each student who participates will earn 4 hours of Marist Service for their involvement in this event.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mums, grandmothers, aunts and female role models for this Sunday 8 May.

My best wishes to our College community for a successful, productive and enjoyable Term 2.

From the Assistant Principal

ANZAC Day

The College community gathered for our annual ANZAC Day service last week to reflect, commemorate and give thanks to all former and current men and women of the Australian Defence Force.

ANZAC day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day on which we remember Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity.

The Spirit of ANZAC is not confined to the battlefield. It lives in the schools, on the sports fields and within our everyday lives. We continue to strive and live out the Spirit of the ANZAC through freedom of speech, freedom of worship, and freedom to live and think as you will.

Our Year 12 Modern History students led the assembly and, through the service, particularly acknowledged the 30th anniversary of the Australian Defence Force deployment to Somalia from 1992 to 1995.

College Winter Uniform

As we head into Week 3, Term 2 here are a few reminders regarding the College Uniform:

• Students are to wear the College blazer to and from school in Term 2 and 3 every day
• The length of the kilt must finish below the knee
• A student may wear in each earlobe one small plain gold or silver earring, with a small, clear, uncoloured stone. The stud/sleeper in one earlobe is to match in both ears. No other jewellery is to be worn, apart from a wristwatch.
• ‘No other jewellery’ includes multiple piercings, inclusive of the ear and other parts of the face/head and non-metal (e.g., clear plastic) variations. In addition, the covering of other piercings with a bandaid is not permitted.

A student will be issued a Uniform Infringement through COMPASS if she is in breach of the College’s Uniform Policy. If the student receives a second Uniform Infringement, a Friday Lunch Detention will automatically be issued. The detention will be completed on the Friday of the nominated week and appear on her schedule in COMPASS.

Once a student receives a second Friday Lunch Detention, their Tutor will contact home. A further Uniform Infringement will result in a Monday Afternoon Detention being issued and a parent meeting arranged.

COMPASS Student Card

It is a College expectation that all students have their COMPASS student ID card with them every day. The card is used in particular for students to tap in and out of the College for late arrival or early departure.

I ask for the support of parents in ensuring that your daughter/s have this with them every day. If students have misplaced or lost their student ID card, it is a requirement that the card is replaced. Please see below for how to order a new card online.

From the Religious Education Coordinator

Religious Education

The season of Easter continues for 50 days to Pentecost Sunday, 23 May 2022. In the early Church, the initial purpose of the 50-day Easter season was to continue the faith formation of those who had been baptised on Easter Sunday. Christians have historically referred to this formation as ‘mystagogy’ or ‘leading people into the mysteries’. Today, this extended season gives us time to rejoice and experience what it means when we say Christ is Risen. Many Churches use this time for formation regarding the Sacraments and spiritual gifts. 

During the month of May, the month of Mary, all are invited to pray the Rosary at lunchtime on Fridays in the College Chapel. 

Sydney Catholic Schools Beginning Teachers Mass

On Tuesday 3 May, seven beginning teachers from Marist Sisters’ College joined other beginning teachers in the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney at a Mass. Celebrated by Archbishop Anthony and priests from the Archdiocese on the theme ‘Mary arose and went in haste, Luke 1:39’, the teachers were given a ‘gift’ of Rosary beads and prayer cards.

Congratulations and welcome to Ms Kate Sinclair, Mr Angus Bray, Ms Lili Negrine, Ms Monique Shippen, Ms Wendy Chapell, Mr Steve Saliba and Mr Ryan Leonard. The teachers are pictured above with Archbishop Anthony after the Mass.

From the Leader of Wellbeing

Student Leadership at MSCW

During Community time on Wednesday, May 4, Year 11 gathered to commence their journey into the MSCW Student Leadership process.

Dr Anne Ireland spoke with them about Mary as a model of servant leadership and connected this with our Marist Compass, which the students have been engaging with since their journey at MSCW through ‘Developing a Compass for Life’.

Dr Ireland engaged the students by focusing on the following key points:

• Message
• Action
• Reach Out AND
• Your Legacy

Miss Gemma Muller addressed the students about setting themselves and the community up for success and the importance of setting the coordinates right on our Marist Compass.

Resilience Project Parent Engagement Evening 

The month of May has often been referred to as ‘Mindful May’ or ‘Joyful May’. 

During May, Year 8 students engage in the Resilience Project as part of the MSCW Wellbeing Program. This program is grounded in evidence-based mental health strategies to build resilience in young people. It is designed around three (3) key pillars, proven to cultivate positive emotion, gratitude, empathy and mindfulness (GEM), whilst incorporating practical strategies for your daughters to practise in everyday life, to explore how we can better empower our own young people to be more resilient.

To be held on Wednesday 11 May 2022, the Resilience Project Parent  Engagement Webinar aims to develop your understanding of the mental health issues young people are facing today. As well as provide strategies to support parents in raising a resilient adolescent. 

The webinar will be hosted by The Resilience Project Founder, Director and Facilitator Hugh van Cuyenburg who will cover the following:

• Equipping parents with simple, practical tools to look after their own wellbeing
• Current mental health statistics from across the country, and explaining the importance of prevention in changing this narrative (especially for children)
• Provide insights into the GEM (gratitude, empathy and mindfulness) model – the evidence-based principles your daughters are being taught as part of The Resilience Project to feel happier and build their resilience
• Focus on developing parent confidence when having positive wellbeing discussions with your family.

To register your interest in attending The Resilience Project Parent Engagement Webinar, please follow the Resilience Project Webinar link. Upon registration, registrants will receive a link to attend the webinar, along with a reminder the day prior. The webinar will commence at 6.00 PM and run till 8.30 PM AEST.

Please note that the webinar will include parents from The Resilience Project’s partnership schools. If you have any further questions regarding this evening, please contact Miss Gemma Muller, Assistant Leader of Wellbeing.

Body Image – The Butterfly Foundation

The teenage years can be fun but they’re also a period when we’re particularly vulnerable to body image concerns. Young people are developmentally inclined to compare themselves to others, but this drive is intensified by external influences, including the constant presence of social media that showcases unrealistic body ideals.

Dr Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s most trusted parenting experts, says developing body acceptance can help teens build self-confidence. A positive body image can also lead to improved mental and physical health in later life.

There are ways parents and carers can support young people’s growth in this area. Dr Coulson sat down with Sam Ikin from The Butterfly Foundation to share some ideas.

SchoolTV

As a result of the global pandemic, there has been a noticeable shift in the amount of time people spend on screen-based devices. Families are transitioning back to pre-COVID routines but many are still struggling to re-establish the boundaries and rules around screen use. Some continue to deal with digital conflict and tech tantrums on a daily basis. The latest research found that 77% of teenagers spend more than five (5) hours on screens per day, but it is important to note that not all screen time is considered equal.

Parents play a crucial role in modelling a positive and healthy approach to using screens and assisting children to navigate the content they watch. It is better to model and mentor screen use, rather than monitor it. Children tend to do more of what they see us do, and less of what we tell them to do. However, it is still important to outline the risks and highlight the benefits of screen use to ensure you keep a balanced attitude. Encourage discussions around the issues that people experience in monitoring their screen time and be honest about your own difficulties.

Parents need to remain firm in their approach to managing screen time. Excessive screen time can be detrimental to a child’s overall wellbeing. Ensuring the correct privacy settings are in place is vital to prevent children from being inadvertently exposed to inappropriate content or online predators. Parents need to also be mindful of the potential impact screen time can have on a child’s social, emotional, educational, behavioural and even physical domains.

In this edition of SchoolTV, caregivers will be provided with a range of guidelines and strategies to help manage screen time at home. We hope you take the time to reflect on the information offered in this month’s edition and we always welcome your feedback.

If you have any concerns about your daughter, please contact her House Coordinator or the College Counsellors for further information or seek medical or professional help.

Here is the link to this week’s edition of SchoolTV. SchoolTV can also be accessed in COMPASS via the grey Favourites icon (star) at the top-middle of the home page.

Marist COMPASS Goals

Have you checked in with your daughter in relation to her Marist COMPASS Goals this term?

Some questions to ask:

• Can you remind me of your academic goal for this year?
• With the feedback you have from your engagement in class, assessments, classwork and quizzes, can you tell me how you think you have been progressing with the goal?
• It is fantastic to hear that you have reflected on your progress and can tell me what you have developed and the areas you need to put more energy into. Is there anything that I/we can do to help you continue to grow?
• What about your personal goal, how is that coming along?

Parent Homework

Year 12 students participated in a study skills session with Dr Prue Salter this week. During her presentation, Dr Salter showed a slide and asked students to reflect on their homework and study habits at home.

At that point, there was a lot of chatter.

Nervous chatter.

In follow up conversations with students, I understand that it indicated that many Year 12s were not investing enough time each night in private study and homework.

So I am asking all parents and carers to undertake an audit of their daughter’s time spent on homework and private study activities over the next fortnight.

Here are the guidelines:

If your daughter is not reaching these timeframes, there are many resources to assist in the ELES Study Skills Handbook published by Dr Prue Salter. The handbook can be accessed via COMPASS using the Favourites (the star) icon.

Gifted and Talented Report

What Do Extension Assessment Tasks Look Like at MSCW?

Assessments tasks have a core component and an extension component that all Newman students complete. These tasks are matched to the ability and potential of the classes. The teacher creates these tasks with their students in mind, knowing they are up to the challenge and knowing they have been fully prepared through modelling.

An extension task will differ to the core by presenting:

• A different stimulus
• A different question
• A different product 
• A different method of presenting the task

The tasks are deliberately higher-order and require critical and creative thinking. They are deep, rich and engaging tasks that link to the content and are designed to develop particular skills relevant to the subject. 

According to the Australian Curriculum guidelines, gifted and talented students should be encouraged to achieve educational standards beyond those of their peers. The curriculum also requires all students to have access to a curriculum that encourages high expectations of all learners.

With this in mind, it will be important to have conversations with your daughter when she feels she is not where she should be or when she starts to compare herself to others in the class. The tasks are rigorous and challenging. There are a variety of different gifts and talents that each class member presents. They have been put into the class because we believe in the ability and potential of our students.

Debating

Round 1 starts today and MSCW is hosting Domremy. We have 12 teams,  which is outstanding. We also have over 20 volunteers willing to give their time to assist with chairing and timekeeping.

Best of luck to all.

Anzac Day Commemoration 2022

During our very memorable ANZAC Day Commemorative Service on Wednesday 17 April, we remembered all those who have been involved in wars and conflicts.

The service included an overview of the Gallipoli Campaign, the sharing of stories about significant women who contributed to World War I, the recitation of poetry, prayers, the laying of a wreath, the Ode of Remembrance, the Last Post, the Rouse and the National Anthem.

A highlight of our service was a moving reflection from Mr Bray, who spoke about his Great Grandfather, Alan Moffatt. Alan was a skilled horseman, who volunteered for war in 1916, training in Cairo, Egypt, before being sent to the arid open desert of Palestine. Alan was part of the 52nd Recruits to the infamous Australian Light Horse, joining the 7th Brigade. On 31 October 1917, Alan and his regiment, alongside, British, Indian, Rhodesian and New Zealander mounted troops, attacked the Ottoman stronghold of Beersheba. This would be one of the last great cavalry charges in history. Of the 15,000 allied troops involved, 171 were killed. It was a decisive Australian-led victory. Alan survived the battle and continued to serve until he was medically discharged in early 1918.

The ANZAC spirit and the values it demonstrates remain our common bedrock, creed, and source of hope and confidence through difficult and uncertain times in the world and in our communities. Times that would be wholly unrecognizable to our original ANZACs.

We are Australians. We are born of the ANZACs. We are the custodians and stewards of their spirit, now and into the future. We must take good care of it.

A special thank you to the Year 12 Modern History class for their leadership and organisational efforts, to Mr Bray for sharing his personal history, and to Annabel Femia, Katie Mackay and the College Choir for sharing their musical talents during our ANZAC Commemorative Service.
