Senior Ball The dancing lessons are completed, correct etiquette has been reinforced and the suits are hired in preparation for the Senior Ball this evening. I trust that each of our Year 12 boys and their partners will enjoy a wonderful night and that their parents will manage to take just the right photo to preserve the memories of the occasion.
College Drama production In recent years the College community has been entertained by some wonderful works presented courtesy of our very talented Drama students and staff. Three performances of this year’s production, Twelve Angry Men, will be staged between this Sunday and Tuesday. Further details are contained within this newsletter and I encourage everyone to come along and enjoy this intriguing play while supporting the hard work of those involved. Mr Shaun Kenny Principal

Building robots! The Robotics Club meets every Tuesday afternoon with Mr John Hortense leading and facilitating this interesting and innovative part of the Academic Excellence Programme. The boys are designing robots to enter the National Robotics Competition later in the year. The design process starts with choosing and then programming the software. They then build a robot and test their software programs. Modifications, adjustments and improvements are then made. The members of this club work in teams and the amount of cooperative peer learning and interaction is exciting to watch. This is, after all, what the future is about!

Help the Homeless Art Auction 4.30pm, Saturday 11 June 2016
Fremantle Town Hall. Includes a performance by the Starlight Hotel Choir. Refreshments will be served.
Open for viewing 3pm - 5pm Fri 10 June & 1pm - 4.30pm Saturday 11 June FORWARD ANNOUNCEMENT
Soroptimist International of Fremantle is delighted to announce the seventh annual Help the Homeless Art Auction to be held 4.30pm - 8pm Saturday 11 June 2016 at Fremantle Town Hall, preceded by an afternoon of viewing by the public. In 2015 the Auction benefitted The Sisters’ Place, the Fremantle Street Doctor and the Fremantle Multicultural Centre. Freo Street Doctor mobile health clinic serves the physical and mental needs of homeless, at-risk, marginalised people with low or no income, transients, substance abusers and those with diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illness. The Sisters’ Place is a project of St Patrick’s Community Support Centre, supported by five congregations of religious women and staffed by Sisters and other volunteers drawn from the community. It provides a safe bed at night to homeless women who sleep in the parks and streets of Fremantle. The Fremantle Multicultural Centre crisis and short term accommodation programme assists migrants and refugees who are homeless or about to become homeless. All three beneficiaries of the auction provide an invaluable service to those in need medically and psychologically, who by a combination of circumstances have found their lives devalued and their self-esteem lost. Soroptimist International is a worldwide volunteer organisation for women in management and professions who seek to advance human rights of women. First founded in 1921 in California, its members are committed to supporting local, national and international communities. A major focus for Soroptimist International of Fremantle has been improving the lives of the homeless via its major fundraiser, the Help the Homeless Art Auction. The event has grown with each year and we hope in 2016 it will be bigger and better than ever. Please diarise this event. If you would like to register your attendance early, please email cjohnson@amnet.net.au If you would like to receive a link to the catalogue once released, email art@artistschronicle.com Kind regards Lyn DiCiero Curator Ph 9336 1861 Email art@artistschronicle.com PO Box 1088 Fremantle WA 6959 Ph 08 9336 1861 art@artistschronicle.com www.artistschronicle.com
