Principal’s Message

Dear Friends of St Ursula’s

Welcome to our Term 4 issue of Piazza.

It is hard to believe that the 2024 school year has ended. Here are some highlights from Term 4:

UK Literature Tour

During the October school holidays, I had the pleasure of travelling with 22 delightful Ursuline girls and two fabulous teachers, Helen McCarthy and Kalli Glynatsis, on a Literature Tour around England. Over the two weeks, we explored many literary sites such as William Wordsworth’s family homes in the Lakes District and the cobble-stoned streets of Haworth where the Bronte Sisters lived. We loved the history and architecture of York. We also visited Chatsworth House, a historic site where the 2005 Pride and Prejudice was filmed, Shakespeare’s birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s cottage in the picturesque Stratford-Upon-Avon. Additionally, we visited Jane Austen’s Bath and the monumental city of London. 

In London, the students saw many iconic landmarks including Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. The students experienced the magic of London’s West End enjoying Les Misérables at the Sondheim Theatre and The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre. They were also lucky enough to see The Taming of the Shrew at Shakespeare’s world-renowned Globe Theatre.

This was an experience our students will remember for a long time and the teachers had a wonderful time also.

HSC Major Works

Our Year 12 2204 students have achieved great success with their major works in Visual Arts, Design and Technology and Music. Sixteen students had their outstanding quality of works nominated to Art Express, Shape and Encore. More information can be found in this newsletter.

International Baccalaureate Graduates

Seven Year 12 students have completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program. This is the first group to graduate from this program at St Ursula’s. We are extremely proud of the staff and students who embraced this alternative learning opportunity. Year 12 IB graduate, Annabelle Johnson, loved her study and said: “the IB has opened my mind up to a new way of thinking which allows me to conduct my learning with a global perspective”.

We welcomed Mrs Nicole Wirth as our new IB Coordinator this term. Nicole has taught in a variety of schools including 16 years at MLC where she immersed herself in the IB and brings a wealth of experience to St Ursula’s.

Meeting the Duchess of York

On Friday 8 November, our Year 8 students who won the Orbispace Initiative Pitch for the Planet Competition: Maria Katsaros; Ella Rentzepis; Isabella Saoud; Jacinta Shori; Sophia Steel; Elena Vidanovski; and Eden Vonhoff were invited to have morning tea with the Duchess of York, Patron of the program. They were asked to discuss their innovation, ideas and thoughts on sustainability and it was very affirming to have their voices and ideas heard. It was also a great opportunity for our students to mingle with other very impressive and inspiring young female innovators who have incredible ideas on living more sustainably and how technology can be used for good. Ms McDougall and I were delighted to join them at this very special event and we could not be more proud of these students. A special thanks to Ms McDougall who champions this program and has guided these students.

Staff Farewells

Two long standing members of staff are retiring this year. Their generous contributions over many years of service have helped make the College a place of true service and alive with community spirit.

Garry Lynch

Garry joined our College community in 1986 as a dedicated member of the HSIE department, specialising in Geography and History. Over the years, he became a valued colleague, frequently stepping in as HSIE Coordinator during staff absences. Beyond the classroom, Garry contributed significantly to the College community, serving as our Union Representative and playing an integral role in the staff social club. He organised memorable events such as morning teas, Melbourne Cup lunches, and farewell gifts for departing staff. With an incredible teaching career spanning 49 years, Garry’s dedication to education is remarkable. While he is stepping back from full-time teaching, he hasn’t entirely hung up his teaching hat—we look forward to seeing him continue to inspire students as a casual teacher next year. We are deeply grateful for Garry’s invaluable contributions and wish him all the best in this new chapter.

Margaret Byrnes

Margo joined St Ursula’s College in 1994, starting her journey in the Library and typing pool before transitioning to the Finance Department. As College Bursar, she expertly managed the College’s finances, overseeing debtors and accounts payable with precision and dedication. A valued member of the support staff team, Margo’s 30 years of service were marked by her adaptability and resilience. She embraced new processes, systems, and renovations with unwavering enthusiasm and professionalism. As Margo embarks on this exciting new chapter of retirement, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for her remarkable contributions to the College. We wish her every happiness as she enjoys well-deserved time with her family, especially her beloved grandchildren.

Wishing you many blessings and thank you for your ongoing support of our College community.

Where are they now?

Where are they now?

In this issue we welcome our new Alumnae from the recently graduated class of 2024! As they start to navigate the world beyond high school we hope these interesting stories from our former Dux students will be enjoyable for all! Their reflections on how they incorporate the Serviam motto beyond their school years and into their everyday lives are inspiring. 

1 YEAR ON…

Dux of 2023: Jacqueline Keir

What are your fondest memories of your time at St Ursula’s College?

I have so many fond memories of my time at St Ursula’s, many of which stem from spending time with my friends, especially at carnivals, camps and the Year 12 Retreat. I also really enjoyed being a part of Book Club and dressing up for Book Week each year.

What does Serviam mean to you and how has this motto contributed to your everyday life?

The Serviam motto reminds me of the importance of putting the needs of others ahead of my own. This year, I started volunteering with St John Ambulance and recently attended my first event as a first-aider for Georges River Council’s ‘Say No to Domestic Violence’ walk. It was a rewarding experience knowing that I was volunteering my time to assist others, whilst also supporting the wider community to raise awareness.

What are your greatest achievements since graduating from high school?

Since graduating from St Ursula’s College just over one year ago, I have been working as a medical receptionist at a medical centre during my gap year. This has enabled me to meet, work and make connections with a diverse range of people and has also reaffirmed my goal to become a doctor.

Do you have any words of advice for the Graduating class of 2024, who will be receiving this Alumnae magazine for the first time?

My advice to the Graduating Class of 2024 is to never, ever give up on pursuing their goals and chasing their dreams, regardless of the path they end up following. It’s important for them to always remember to strive to do their best, persevere through any challenges, and enjoy the journey. I sincerely wish the new graduates all the very best in their future endeavours.

5 YEARS ON…

Dux of 2019: Taylor Colligan

What are your fondest memories of your time at St Ursula’s College?

Despite all the HSC stress, I get so nostalgic thinking back to my time in high school. Not to sound cliché, but my fondest memories were truly the fun times spent with friends, goofing off in class. There were also several teachers whose support, guidance and mentorship extended beyond my studies and shaped me into the adult I am today. One of my fondest memories was my very last class on the final day of year 12, in which we transformed our math classroom with streamers and threw a surprise party for Mr Ratcliffe to thank him for all the fun times we had in math over the years.

What are your greatest achievements since graduating from high school?

If you had asked me 5 years ago, I’d have said my greatest achievement was being accepted into UNSW Medicine, as this had been my lifelong, seemingly unattainable dream. Though I thought it’d all be downhill from there, I’ve accomplished a few more things throughout my years in university. I achieved First Class Honours, received awards for my research, and am tutoring at uni. I am now preparing to enter my sixth (and final) year, after which I will graduate as a doctor (hoping to work in paediatrics). Outside of studies, I’ve worked as a high school tutor where I’ve helped over 50 students achieve amazing results, many of whom went to St Ursula’s! I’ve also been involved in leadership and uni societies.

What does Serviam mean to you and how has this motto contributed to your everyday life?

This is such a throwback… honestly it’s been years since I’ve reflected on the Ursuline values or the motto “Serviam.” Its key message however, to serve others, permeates through many aspects of my life as I always strive to place the needs of others above my own. By applying myself in my studies and hospital placements, I hope to provide exceptional medical care to patients and their families. Furthermore, in my role as a high school and university tutor, I take great joy in not only breaking down difficult concepts to facilitate understanding, but also in providing guidance and mentorship as students go through stressful chapters of their lives.

Do you have any words of advice for the Graduating class of 2024, who will be receiving this Alumnae magazine for the first time?

First of all, be proud of your achievements and for surviving all the adversities thrown at you in high school. As you move forward in life, don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. In my experience, the first few years after high school is the time that you truly find yourself, mature, and gain confidence. But also, don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s okay to feel a little burnt out, as I did, after going through HSC (arguably one of the most stressful life experiences). Most importantly, be kind to yourself and be excited for what the future holds for you!

20 YEARS ON…

Dux of 2004: Amanda Zeidan

What are your fondest memories of your time at St Ursula’s College?

Lunchtimes spent laughing with friends, but I also have really fond memories of classes – particularly maths in year 11 and 12 with Mrs D’Angelo and science (chem and biology)

What does Serviam mean to you and how has this motto contributed to your everyday life?

To me, Serviam is about bringing your full self to everything you do, and contributing in a meaningful way wherever you can, be that family, community, work etc. Living by this motto means that I try to do my best to ‘show up’ for people that need me.

What are your greatest achievements since graduating from high school?

My greatest achievements are my 3 children! But I am happy that I’ve lived a full and varied life, lots of travel (the picture provided is taken in Barcelona on a family trip last year), time spent with family and interesting projects such as house renovations.

Do you have any words of advice for the Graduating class of 2024, who will be receiving this Alumnae magazine for the first time?

Enjoy this time, there is nothing quite like this ‘in between’ time when school is done and the next chapter hasn’t yet started, it’s the perfect combination of freedom and optimism!

Success for HSC Bodies of Work!

St Ursula’s Pitch for the Planet

On Wednesday 18 September, 14 Year 8 students represented the College in The Orbispace Initiative Pitch for the Planet. The Orbispace Initiative is a program with the mission to inspire the next generation of Australian female innovators by equipping them with the skills and mindsets needed to succeed in a rapidly changing physical and digital landscape. The program is a six month course teaching students about innovation, technical STEM skills, entrepreneurship, soft skill development such as teamwork, confidence and communication skills alongside hard skills relating to innovation, prototype development and creating a business model. As an opportunity to apply their learning, students were then provided with a real world sustainability case study to pitch a sustainable innovation that will encourage Australians to electrify their transportation.

As part of their innovation, students needed to consider key sustainability concepts including environmental and ecological determinants. They then were required to evaluate existing market solutions and constraints before developing their own innovative solution to the problem.

We had two teams of Year 8 students presenting at The Pitch for the Planet. The ‘StellaCharge’ team, comprising of Marion Choi, Cielo Collaguazo, Ava Crowley-Sweet, Olivia Miks, Aaliyah Reddy, Gabriella Saliba and Lucy Yoegiar, focused on the problem that the distance electric vehicles can travel is significantly less than petrol cars. Their solution was to develop portable solar-powered charging packs.

The ‘WattWay’ team, compring of Maria Katsaros, Ella Rentzepis, Isabella Saoud, Jacinta Shori, Sophie Steel, Elena Vidanovski and Eden Vonhoff, focused on the problem of inefficient and inaccessible charging processes associated with electric vehicles. Their solution is wireless charging stations situated across parking spots, garages and red lights.

Both teams had just eight minutes to make their pitch. They identified the problem and presented market research, solutions, product ideation/prototypes, market size and business or impact models. Teams pitched their ideas to judges and investors who followed their pitch with 2 minutes of questions where students continued to convince the judges to invest in their innovation solution and team.

Both teams did a phenomenal job with their pitch and we were absolutely delighted that one of our teams, ‘WattWay’, was announced as first prize winner for the 2024 Pitch for the Planet competition! This was a wonderful achievement for both the girls involved, and for the College.

High tea with the Duchess of York

Following their win, our ‘WattWay’ team were awarded the unique opportunity to have a private high tea with the patron of the program – Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York.

On Friday 8 November the ‘WattWay” team members attended an intimate high tea, enabling them to have one on one discussions with the Duchess of York as a celebration of their achievement and success. Ella Rentzepis did a wonderful job of presenting their innovation and ideas to the Duchess. All students were given the opportunity to ask questions and discuss their ideas about the future of our planet and sustainability. The Duchess of York, is the founding ambassador for the Youth Impact Council with a strong passion for amplifying the voices of Generation Z, with a genuine interest in the ideas and opinions of the young women who attended the event.

It was an inspirational day for all involved. The students represented the College with grace and enthusiasm. We were very proud of them.

Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship

Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship

Year 11 student, Stephanie Paino, was recently awarded the Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship which included a 10 day history tour to Japan with 19 other students from New South Wales. Stephanie wrote a beautiful reflection on her tour, which included moments of sorrow as well as great joy. We hope you enjoy reading her story.


People think learning about history is just about our past. I have now come to learn that it is about our future. I was selected for the Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship (PAMS) which entailed a 10 day history tour in Japan along with 19 other students from across New South Wales. It was an amazing experience! Through the PAMS tour, I now know how important history really is in shaping modern perceptions which will further impact our own society. I had a fabulous time being able to immerse myself in Japanese culture and making new friendships. I tried ramen, sushi, sashimi, Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima Pancakes) and much more! Whether it was running through the streets of Hiroshima surrounded by beautiful mountains, travelling on the Shinkansen (bullet train), shopping in Shibuya at the Scramble Crossing or visiting historical sites – it was truly phenomenal! 

Our first stop was Tokyo! In the night the monochrome greys and whites would turn into glamorous colours. We saw a light show on a building called “PAC-MAN eats TOKYO” which was spectacular! Our first visit was to the Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine, which had a beautiful man-made forest and honours Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken who modernised Japan. We also went to Naoetsu Peace Memorial Park and Museum. This place impacted me deeply as it was the site of a World War II Prisoner of War Camp. Each of us were given an individual to research and mine was Dr Rowley Richards. He was taken as a Prisoner of War (POW) by the Japanese on the Thai Burma Railway and across Singapore. He reconciled with the Japanese as he spoke of in his memoir “As prisoners, we were still capable of recognising that kindness was not a trait exclusive to our own kind…Empathy is equally universal.” There were two statues that represented this reconciliation made by a sculptor from Naoetsu. One resembled a Japanese woman with eucalyptus leaves in her hair and the other a European woman with cherry blossoms in her hair. This site acknowledges the faults of the Japanese on the behalf of POWs. Here the Japanese weren’t painted as aggressors nor victims, but simple humans. I was shocked when I began to feel sympathy for those war criminals as I read their death letters before their execution. That was when I realised that we are all capable of evil and that really they were just humans in a corrupt system, and it is our job to work towards reconciliation.

We explored the Yasukuni Shrine, a Shinto shrine, filled with much controversy. It commemorates Japanese war dead from Generals to civilians, women and children. Dr Keiko Tamura, who accompanied us on the trip, spoke of how “war draws a line” through exploring the conflict between the Shogunate (Samurai) and Emperor. No bodily remains are in the shrine and those convicted war criminals were deified as they died serving the Emperor. There is opposition to the visitation of this commemorative site in the Okinawan and Korean populations, which widened our perspective regarding how commemoration of war can be divisive. Later that day we also viewed the beautiful National Cemetery where approximately 352,297 unidentified Japanese war dead ashes are. We then had the opportunity to speak to Aoyama Gakuin University students about these sites of commemoration and their own view of history. Many students were unaware of the Yasukuni Shrine or the Naoetsu Peace Park claiming that they had never visited due to its ‘controversy’.  I was very thankful for this experience as it broadened our understanding of commemoration. Individuals know it exists, but the different manner in which places commemorate their war dead do differ in their purpose. Some are to glorify war, others are to work towards reconciliation or simply for families and friends to pay their respects. What this trip truly made me wonder is why is it important?

My experience in Japan was a very contrasting one, places of beauty were laced with tragedy. Hiroshima was surrounded by beautiful mountains and infrastructure which made it difficult to believe that it was subjected to atomic warfare. But then we saw the Atomic Bomb Dome; a living skeleton of what was and we heard in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum from a woman whose father and sister had passed away due to the residual effects of radiation. She also spoke of Mitsuo Kodama’s experience who was only a school student when the bomb hit. She told me to “tell [her] story” and that is what I plan to do. Hearing this first hand made all of us ponder whether war is necessary to maintain peace. It is definitely a much easier thing to say than practice, but the destruction that it creates is immeasurable. We were faced with many confronting truths and what truly intrigued me was that it wasn’t just adults that were subjected to this horror but children. In the Museum, we watched a documentary about the kamikaze suicide missions where Japanese children primarily aged 17-19 would crash their airplanes into allied ships. On one of these missions the bombing of Hiroshima occurred and they were redirected to the site of the bombing. Here children’s first experiences of life that were meant to be joyous, were something of nightmares. It was shocking to think that someone as young as me was subjected to this. However, what I thought was most powerful was when a 19 year old boy asked his supervisor “Why are we doing this?” Even though Japanese children were indoctrinated from a young age regarding the privilege of serving the Emperor, he proclaimed that he didn’t want to fight in a war when this was the devastation that occurred.

After the confronting truths of Hiroshima we travelled by Shinkansen to Osaka! In Osaka we saw the Castle and went to the Museum of History where we saw Japan in the ancient, mediaeval and modern periods. Seeing its development was very interesting! We went to the infamous shopping capital of Osaka, Dotonbori, and tried its amazing cheesecake. We then went to a Kasuga Taisha Shrine near Nara Park and the Todaiji Temple where we saw thousands of deer. They bow their heads to visitors and allow you to touch them. This was definitely a highlight of the trip! On the last day we went to the Osaka National Peace Centre, where we saw the impacts of the wars on all aspects of life and the progression of Japan’s modernisation. Its focus is on promoting peaceful relations and this is something that will always be a motivator of my actions.

Through my experience, I can now answer my own question as to why commemoration is important. What was made apparent to me is that commemoration looks different to many people, nations and the world as a collective. Commemoration is the art of remembrance and actively recalling those demonstrations of courage and sacrifice. What we need to understand is that no one should be exposed to such violent notions of peace if it impacts innocent people. We are all human and we are capable of kindness as much as we are destruction. I implore you to choose kindness. This trip has been the most impactful of my life, and I thank all those who made it possible. 

 
Skating to the top!

Skating to the top!

Alumna and member of staff, Jessica Magee, shares her figure skating journey after recently competing at the Australian Figure Skating Championships.


In late November, I competed in my tenth Australian Figure Skating Championships held in Melbourne, where my team and I placed 1st in the Advanced Adult Synchronised Ice Skating division.

Synchronised ice skating is a unique discipline of figure skating, where a team of 8–16 skaters perform intricate formations, lifts, and footwork and choreography to music. It’s a blend of athleticism, artistry, and teamwork which continues to spark my love for the sport so many years on.

My skating journey started at the age of 10, when I skated for the first time at a friend’s birthday party. From there, I started private lessons and have represented my club, Majestic Ice Australia, across a number of divisions at state, national and international levels.  

Ice skating isn’t just about learning to stay on your feet; it’s about perseverance, discipline, and turning mistakes into motivation. Throughout the years, I’ve spent countless early mornings at the rink, balancing my personal schedule and training as my team and I worked to achieve our goal of competing at the highest level.

In 2017, I was lucky enough to have competed at the prestigious Mozart Cup competition held in Austria, that brought together elite synchronised skating teams from around the world. This competition is a skating moment I deeply cherish, as it was here that my team placed 4th in the Mixed Age division of 23 international teams, a result that highlighted our hard work and determination to showcase Australia’s talent in the sport. 

In 2018, I had the honour of competing at Junior Worlds, where I represented my team and country among the best skaters globally.  These experiences not only improved my skills but also gave me a deeper appreciation for the global skating community. 

Today, I am still lucky enough to share the ice with a number of skaters that have experienced this journey with me.  Knowing that I’ve contributed, even in a small way, to the growth of this sport fills me with immense pride.

Class of ’63

Serviam: echoing through our many years.
Welcoming, we greet companions: ones
With a zeal, zest and zing for life so clear.
Humour and music and the arts we cover,
Discussion from the now to Shakespeare:
So much traversed by these earth mothers.

Such life episodes told with hearty laughter,
Sadnesses faced, onward strategies paced,
Really highlighted such resolve fore and after,
Careers and families positive value embraced.
Outward looking, caring: social justice matters:
Fellow students: we’re in good company placed.

Serviam: studenthood, a new but solid school,
Education’s ripple effect became widespread.
From that friendship, knowledge, value pool,
We made a difference: in using heart and head,
Experiencing the waves, gales, breezes and swirls
Of joy, tragedy: it’s in Serviam we comprehend.

The past is what it is: the future unknown
Look around, smile- this, today, is good

Loving concern to those with cares grown
Treasure the values to which we’re moored.
Serviam: I will serve. Servimus: we are serving
Seniors, students still, we are still learning!

From your fellow student and always friend, Anne Doherty Grantham

ELIZABETH ALDERTON

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of former staff member and ex-student of the College, Elizabeth Alderton, who died after a long battle with ovarian cancer. From 2008 to 2015, Liz served as the Religious Education Coordinator. Her preparation of liturgies and retreats continues to be fondly remembered by staff and students. In 2016, she took on the role of Assistant Principal, working closely with the new College Principal, Mary Leask, to ensure a smooth transition during her first year. Liz wholeheartedly embraced the Ursuline way of living and significantly contributed to the College’s strong social justice initiatives. When she left St Ursula’s in 2017 to join the Sydney Catholic Schools office, to pursue her passion for supporting teachers in their professional development, she left behind a well-prepared Religious Education team that benefited greatly from her expertise and professionalism. Liz will be deeply missed.

 
Community Kitchen Cookbook

Community Kitchen Cookbook

Having lived in the community since 2018, the Ursuline sisters at Mother of Peace have a longstanding relationship with the families of Chrab Viel. Daily interactions at the school and regular ministry visits into the local homes has seen the sisters become close companions and visible signs of love in the local community.

Responding to the call to serve, an invitation was extended to twelve local women to join a community kitchen. This opportunity not only allows them to provide for their families but also to build a support network. Under the guidance and support of Sister Nongnut and Sister Supansa, these women are embarking on a journey of community engagement and personal growth.

Last chance to purchase the cookbook!

The Ursuline Global Cookbook is a collection of recipes and stories that highlight the diversity and unity of the Ursuline family around the world. The funds from the sale of the cookbook would be channeled back into the Community Kitchen in Cambodia to further support the women in their project.
