Year 10 Learning

2016 has been a year of tremendous growth and learning for our students in Year 10, and I feel truly privileged to have been a part of this stage of our girls' lives. Year 10 this year was all about choices, and each and every one of the students found themselves, whether they liked it or not, making big decisions in their lives that had the potential to affect their pathways forever. The students learnt of the importance of planning and foresight when making decisions - big or small - and they also reflected on how sometimes in life the rash decision is most appropriate.

In living our Franciscan charism, the Year 10 students poured their energies into environmental initiatives this year that saw them take charge and campaign for all of us to be better global citizens. In support of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Year 10s raised money to contribute to their efforts for the Great Barrier Reef.

2016 was definitely a big year for our girls and it could not have proceeded so smoothly without the stellar leadership of all the leaders: Yasmine Athaide, Olivia Koutoukidis. Manon Tickle, Rachel Waring, and Monique Rinaldi. Thank you, girls!

Thanks a bunch!

Homeroom Teachers

This year has been one of many opportunities for the Year 11 students. They were inspired to be the best VCE students they could be through two engaging Elevate Education sessions and most embarked on their first Unit 3 and 4 Subject. The opportunity to meet Michelle Newland at the Year 11 Faith Formation Day gave the girls a chance to be grateful for the small things in their lives. They raised an incredible amount of money through the annual Chocolate Toss competition, which will go to ACRATH to help raise awareness and support those trafficked and exploited here in Melbourne. Year 11 students have attended a High Tea for women in the Defence Force, a simulated United Nations meeting, Refugee Tutoring, World Youth Day, and the Next Generation Youth Forum and run their own Peer Support sessions. I hope that this year has been an opportunity for the Year 11 students to be inspired and to ultimately inspire others.

They began as tiny, delicate, innocent caterpillars. Now, they have transformed into beautiful, elegant and independent butterflies. Their journey began early in the year with their Year 12 Retreat, where they were given the opportunity to explore their faith and work together to create their year level theme ‘Individually we are ranked but together we are one’ . This set the tone for the remainder of the year as these butterflies spent countless hours in the new Mary Centre studying and revising for their SACs and VCAA examinations. However, they definitely worked together as one, raising money and awareness through the Bake Sale for their Social Justice Focus, Caritas, as well as Developing Heroes Week in an attempt to unify the College. As a cohort they participated in a number of initiatives including: the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals, Ave Maria Day, Elevate Education programs such as ‘Study Sensei', the newly introduced Frontiers for Success and University Experience, Homeroom activities and number of Year Level Assemblies. I, along with their homeroom teachers and subject teachers are very proud of all their hard work and determination, but now it's time for these once tiny caterpillars to spread their wings and begin to fly. I have no doubt that they will continue to grow and flourish and leave a lasting impression on the world, just as they have on the Ave Maria College community, and just as they have on me.

Good luck girls!!

Homeroom Teachers

This year Ave Maria College held an inaugural 'Back to Ave Day1. Over 400 Alumnae arrived to revisit Ave where so many rich friendships had been forged. In the Francis Hall memories partially forgotten resurfaced prompted by the familiar faces of school friends, teachers and events recorded in the photograph display covering six decades.

Over Devonshire tea in the Piazza, many stories were told and the Piazza rang with happy laughter. Sisters, cousins, aunts and friends shared the bond of being Ave Maria College Alumnae. With their parents, Ave Maria College saw girls become women, nurtured them as they traversed the sometimes turbulent path of adolescence, watched anxiously as they sat final examinations and watched a little wistfully when they left.

But they came back on Sunday. The Alumnae searched for their original homerooms, walked the strangely familiar corridors, searched for favourite places now veiled under fresh bright colours and new buildings. They mused over the original three House names, and marvelled at the modern facilities. 'Back to Ave Day’ celebrated the College, however the day was about Ave women. Their laughter, honesty, clear eyes and features are echoed in so many of our current students. We thank them for coming and extending our Franciscan family.
