Principal’s Report Our Year 12 2013 cohort continued the strong tradition of academic excellence at The Cathedral School. Three students achieved the optimal score of an OP 1 with 18 students (25%) from the 73 OP eligible students receiving an OP 1 - 5.

101 Cathedral students applied for University through QTAC. The majority of these applied with an OP, but a significant number used the selection rank option and six were international VISA students.

All OP and selection rank applicants who applied for a Semester 1 2014 course received a first round offer, a great result.

Past students may also be interested to know that we have several University Scholarship winners who have been announced over the past six months. Our 2012 Dux, Iain Simpson, began his study at Melbourne University this year after winning a Vice Chancellors Scholarship to study Medicine. Our 2013 Dux, Sarah Sutcliffe, has also been awarded a Vice Chancellors Scholarship to study Science and Engineering at James Cook University. Another 2012 Graduate, Breanna Koenan has begun her study at The University of Queensland this year after receiving one of their very prestigious scholarships. These are outstanding academic achievements by students who all gave great service to our school. We look forward to hearing of their successes in their chosen area of study. We also congratulate Georgina Kanowski who will receive a TJ Ryan Highly Commended Award this month.

While on the topic of academic achievement, The Cathedral School has recently been reported as the school that has improved the most in the Townsville district over the past 12 months and while the NAPLAN results are not the only measure of academic success, it is a very pleasing indication that our students’ skills are improving.

Canberra Year 6 Camp 2014 On Sunday 23 March, the Year 6 cohort of 2014 gathered at the Townsville Airport. Everyone was really excited as we boarded the plane. We saw extremely beautiful views from the aeroplane.

Eventually Year 6 arrived at Brisbane airport to board our next plane to our final destination…CANBERRA! Once we arrived at the airport, our lovely double-decker bus driver Alan drove us to Eaglehawk Holiday Park where we stayed at the Brumby Lodge.

To conclude our long day, we had dinner and then drove to see the spectacular views from Mount Ainslie Lookout to see the Parliamentary triangle. All of us could agree that we were looking forward to having a good sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, we left for the Electoral Education Centre (EEC) where we learnt all about voting. Our next trip was to explore Old Parliament House. It was truly amazing sitting in the senate and watching two people from our group dress up as governors! After lunch we left for the High Court of Australia where we saw where all constitutional decisions are finally made.

Our last excursion of the day was to New Parliament House and it was fantastic. It could fit 25 Sydney Opera Houses inside of it. There were nearly 3,000 clocks inside of the building! This is because the politicians in Parliament House need to keep track of time for when the members of parliament are voting. We met our MP, Ewen Jones. To end the day we travelled back to the Brumby Lodge where we had a Talent Quest, due to the rain postponing our game of Putt Putt Golf. The winner of the night was Nicola Stanton’s dance and we had special guest judges Bad Boy Baills, Crafty Campbell, Mysterious Morton, Dellapina Diva and Painful Porter. A fun night was had by all!

On the second day, Year 6 went to the National Capital Exhibition where we received a guided tour where all of us saw a great miniature replica of Canberra. Next came the Royal Mint of Australia where we saw the humungous robot Titan, who can lift 72kgs! The stairs leading up to the top floor had 5 cent coins in the front of the stairs. At the National Portrait Gallery we discovered Ned Kelly’s death mask during our guided tour. However, we saw lots of portraits of famous men and women. We then travelled on our awesome double-decker bus to The National Museum of Australia. A few students discovered Phar Lap’s massive heart. In K –Zone there were smiles from ear to ear as we designed our own futuristic spaceships and mansions. Year 6 could all agree that the museums we visited were very interesting.

Year 6 visited the Australian War Memorial on a wet and rainy day.

We bought poppies and showed our respect to all of the fallen soldiers who fought for our country. Most of Year 6 wandered around looking at the displays, while Grace, Harry, Amie and Gordon got prepared for a ceremony for the Unknown Soldier who we will never forget. Our Bede House leaders placed a poppy beside previous student Ben Chuck’s and parent Todd Langley’s names. Derrick, a Vietnam War veteran spoke to us about his time in the war and proudly showed off his medals. It was a terrific day.

On Thursday we departed Eagle Hawk Holiday Park after breakfast and drove to the Australian Institute of Sport where we received a guided tour of all the training facilities for athletes at the AIS. The ‘Sportex’ program was really cool as we got to play different games that involve the same amount of strength as the actual sport would need. We got to do a mini version of skeleton, skiing, rowing and basketball. We also learnt that the synchronised swimmers have to tread water for at least 45 minutes!! When we had concluded our suspenseful time at the AIS, we departed on our double-decker bus to set off for the Governor-General’s House. There we had a good look around the house and even went to the garage to see the car that our current Governor-General is driven around in.

Next, our group went to Questacon. We went to the shop first and bought lots of cool things. We travelled through the levels and the Free-Fall and 360 swing were a big hit. Our time at Questacon was finished with a funny show about the moon presented by a whacky scientist.

Overall our trip to Canberra was very exciting; we were lucky to participate in this lovely camp with our helpful teachers to guide us. The Year 6 students were extremely grateful to experience this incredible trip! Thanks to the organisers of this camp and the willing teachers.

Year 4 iPad Program Our Year 4 iPad program has been running for 10 weeks now and it is riding high on waves of success. Year 4’s learning environment is now rich with little differences. Instead of placing work on the teacher’s desk it is submitted electronically. Photocopied handouts are no longer paper, they are digital and downloaded from eCat. A computer room is no longer necessary for the internet, it is right at their fingertips. But the really exciting learning that has been happening has not been when the Year 4’s are doing what Year 4’s have always done. It is when the teachers have started yielding the true power of the iPad, and are augmenting the students’ learning, that is, undertaking activities with students that would not have been possible without the iPads.

Music Camp Students who are members of the Middle and Senior School Instrumental Ensembles participated in a weekend workshop on Magnetic Island between 21 – 23 March.

The camp was very successful with students having the opportunity to learn new pieces and develop their playing and ensemble skills. It also provided students with an opportunity to get to know fellow ensemble members and form new friendships.

We were very excited to do an ‘All In Orchestra’ for the very first time on Music Camp. This orchestra included all 69 students on every instrument including the guitars. They played ‘Espana Cani’ which is a Spanish Folk Song. It was a lot of fun to put together and they sounded amazing.

THE CONNECTION

Some of the highlights of this term included; participating in interactive lessons; collaborating as a team in an online space; creating an animation to model their understanding of the life cycle of a plant; engaging with the early sea explorers with an interactive iBook; or watching posters spring to life with movies which are triggered from images.

Learning with the iPads have enabled learning opportunities which are richer and more engaging than traditional teaching. They have provided our students with opportunities to create multimedia and model their understanding in ways that would have been previously inconceivable. And it is only Term 1!

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) The students worked very hard on Music Camp and they were treated to some relaxation time on Saturday afternoon down the beach. Fun was had by all with students choosing to swim, play beach games or just chill out on the beach.

Once we returned from the beach, it was straight back into rehearsals. Saturday evening the students entertained each other by presenting musical performances followed by comical skits.

Parents were treated to a Music Camp Concert on Tuesday 25 March. All the students did a wonderful job and it was great for parents to see what their children had achieved over the weekend.

Winners are Grinners

Science and Engineering Challenge success Congratulations to the 32 students from Year 10 who won the North Queensland division of the Science and Engineering Challenge in March.

The challenge is designed to promote Engineering as a career option by presenting students with a series of construction challenges.

The school team is split into eight groups of four, who each then complete either two half day challenges or one full day challenge.

Our school’s dominance was evident as we won seven of the 12 events, while also performing credibly in the remaining five events.

Some of the challenges included: • Making a house from Styrofoam , straws and paddle pop that has a minimal environmental footprint, has a water collection tank, and can withstand windy conditions.

• Making a vehicle that can traverse rough terrain without losing an unsecured load.

• Designing an efficient electricity transmission network and how to modify it to cope with a system outage at some point.

We now await confirmation that our team has qualified for the Queensland Challenge final to be held on the Sunshine Coast in mid-August.

Well done to all the students involved!

A nursing career is close for new indigenous trainee Year 12 student, Alison Edwards (Normanton) has been offered the opportunity of a lifetime to participate in a Certificate III in Health Services Traineeship with the Townsville Hospital through Skill360 Australia’s Indigenous Youth Careers Pathways (IYCP) program.

Alison commenced her Certificate III in Health Services at TAFE last year whilst in Year 11. This year the school-based traineeship will allow Alison to study, gain a qualification and earn some money whilst she is still at school.

Skill360 IYCP Coordinator said “The experience Alison gains will give her a head start towards her career in becoming an Enrolled Nurse. Alison is not only developing valuable work skills, she is gaining knowledge of the hospital workplace environment and work relationships.”

Alison said “I have been given the opportunity this year, to put what I am learning into practice. I am one of the first indigenous school-based Nursing trainees to be employed by the Townsville Hospital under the IYCP to employ more indigenous staff within Queensland Health.”

“I am very fortunate as I get paid to work one day a week at the hospital while completing my Certificate. I am so grateful for this opportunity because I am doing what I love. I am pursuing my dream job. I have wanted to study nursing since I was little and I am finally heading in the direction of achieving my main career goal of becoming a registered nurse” added Alison.

The IYCP program provides school-based traineeship opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Year 11 and 12.

The program aims to inspire and support indigenous students to complete their schooling and make an effective transition to further education or a job through aspirations activities and events.

As part of the of the program, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are provided personal mentoring and case management to help them manage issues that make the move from school to work difficult.

Interschool Debating Competition Winners Congratulations to our Year 7 and Senior debating teams who won their respective finals for the Townsville Interschool Debating competition in 2013.

The Year 7 team of Matilda Duncan, Olivia Andrew and Emily Butson debated the topic: ‘That an Australian Democracy is a good thing’.

The girls spoke confidently, arguing a very convincing team case for the negative, while putting forward some excellent rebuttal points.

Cathedral 2 Senior team of Isabelle Fahey, Emily Symmons and Georgina Kanowski were given two hours to prepare the case for the affirmative on the topic: ‘That there should be no censorship of artistic expression’. The team put together a strong argument with all three speakers demonstrating excellent debating skills.

Middle School Expo With Year 7 moving into secondary schooling in 2015, this year we made the decision to steer away from our annual Open Day tradition and hold a Middle School Expo on Thursday 20 March instead. Using the fabulous space that the Rock Centre provides, each Department put together engaging and interactive displays for our guests to admire and get involved with. From the giant chess game, to the goop at the Science display or the Rowing machines to the bivvy out in the rain (just like the real Outdoor Education experience), there was something for everyone.

Having established the Middle School for boys and girls in Years 7, 8 and 9 in 2006 our students have been experiencing the benefits of this environment well before the state government’s decision to move Year 7 into secondary schools in 2015.

Cathedral’s well-established Middle School program, coordinated by energetic and dedicated staff, represents an exciting and challenging opportunity for adolescents to deal more effectively with a broad range of issues confronting them and their learning in a dynamic and evolving modern world.

Places for Year 7 and 8 in 2015 are filling fast so if you are interested in the Middle School program please contact the Registrar, Mrs Toni Lanphier on 4722 2000 or email registrar@cathedral.qld.edu.au to arrange a school tour.

country people are so generous and supportive of the school, so it’s great that the school can give back to them.

I was delighted to present the PSA scholarship to a wonderful Year 12 student Curtis Rayment who happens to be this year’s School Captain. Curtis is from a rural property just out of Winton. He is a role model for the younger students and we are very fortunate to have him as our scholarship holder. Curtis will be speaking at our reunion dinner.

Past Students’ Association President’s Report It’s been a very busy start to the school year. It’s wonderful to see the school full of friendly faces again. In this Connection report I wanted to highlight The Cathedral School family and its community.

We often talk about the Cathedral family and I believe it’s alive and well in the past, current and future families of this wonderful school.

I am very fortunate to have most of my family living here in Townsville, except my brother Lachlan (Class of 2011) who is now living in Port Angeles in the USA. He has been away for about eight months and over the Christmas holidays I was very fortunate to see him and spend time travelling America together. I thought to myself on the way back home that it must be hard for our families sending their children off to boarding school for the first time and learning to live apart. I have heard stories when the school moved out to Ravenswood, that the families weren’t together for months due to the outbreak of war.

Boarding at The Cathedral School is a very big legacy and has shaped the culture of school over its many years.

I think back over many years of St Anne’s and then The Cathedral School and the many friendships that have been made on our school grounds would have been amazing. At reunions we often relive old friendships and this is what makes the school such a special community. All the staff and students over the past 96 years of the school have carried on that legacy and supported this wonderful community.

The school this year has been raising a lot of money to donate to drought relief which is very close to many hearts of the school since many of the boarders come off properties. I have been fortunate to spend time out where some of our boarders come from and the

This year we have got a lot planned for the PSA. We have had our first meetings and are ready to bring you some wonderful events for 2014.

We will hold the annual Touch Football Game and also look forward to the signature events of Reunion Weekend. This year we are going to hold a Wine and Cheese Evening by the lagoon for all past students to come back and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of The Cathedral School, and to start raising funds towards our centenary project.

Make sure you book to attend our events on the try booking site.

This year we will be offering transport back to hotels after the Saturday night reunion dinner, so if you want to travel by school bus get in early - seats are limited and what a fun way to end the night.

As we approach the centenary celebrations of the school we would love to receive donations of any memorabilia, so if you have old Dawn magazines, school hats or uniforms or photos from your school days, we would love to take them off your hands or record and document them if you would like the items back. The school and the PSA are really excited to bring you some amazing events in 2017, so stay tuned.

If you’re interested in getting involved in the Past Students’ Association please get in contact with us. We would be happy to have anyone join our association. It’s really important that we continue to keep the connection with our past students and also keeping the association strong.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email myself: thomas.porter@cathedral.qld,edu.au I am looking forward to meeting many of you at our upcoming events or if you’re in Townsville please drop in to the school and say hello and there will be a friendly staff member or myself willing to take you on a tour.

We truly are a wonderful community and I would like to thank all the Past Student and current families for their wonderful support of the school. We truly are one big family.

In memory of

Matthew Doyle

1995 - 2014 Bede House, 2004-2012 To those who didn’t know him, he was the kid in the wheelchair.

But it didn’t take too long to see that Matty Doyle was a happy yet determined young bloke, who didn’t let his disability diminish his enjoyment of life.

He participated in everything the best he could, even completing a full lap in the swimming carnival in Year 4 to gain a point for his beloved Bede House. It was probably the slowest lap ever, but Matty was proud as punch and to top it off, Bede won the carnival by … 1 Point. Matty was the hero of Bede that day.

Matty was always smiling and made a big impact on many people.

In Year 11, he spoke to the whole of Senior School and his positive attitude, his pride and his courage had a lasting impact on the audience that day.

As he got older, Matty spent increasingly long spells in hospital, often to overcome infections. In the end his infection was incurable and it eventually took his life. He knew his time was approaching, and he was able to farewell his family and friends.

Matty had a strong yet uncomplicated faith in the Lord Jesus, and looked forward confidently to a new, resurrection body in heaven.

His parting words to his family were: “This is not ‘goodbye’, but ‘see you soon!’” Matty was a brave and inspirational young man who blessed all of us who knew him. See you in heaven, Matty!

Heatley House Ellerslie was the name of the property on which the school now stands. The original homestead on Ellerslie was a spacious 16-room house, built by Robert Philp in 1878. This house was burnt down and replaced with the present building in the early 1930’s.

Ellerslie was home for many years to Mr William Heatley (Mayor of Townsville 1927-1933) and his family, and it was from his estate that the 16 acres and homestead were purchased in 1953 to provide a new site for St Anne’s School.

The homestead was modified before the school moved into it in 1958. Called Main House or School House for many years, it was renamed Heatley House in 1970 in recognition of the significant contributions of the late Mr Heatley to the Townsville community.

Further renovations were planned as part of the school’s 90th anniversary celebrations and the beautifully restored and expanded Heatley House was officially re-opened in July 2009.

Sister Frances – Girls’ Dormitory Sister Frances was one of the three sisters who arrived in Townsville in 1917 to establish St Anne’s School. She was said to be the quiet one, but she was also wise and witty.

Sister Frances became head of St Anne’s in 1937 and remained in charge through the war years and the evacuation to Ravenswood until the end of 1948. Her reliability and enormous capacity for hard work were demonstrated many times throughout these years.

Sister Frances dormitory was originally built in 1972, and had a $3.8m refurbishment in 2011.
