Year 11 2005

The year started much as l expect it to end, with Jacob Gotch at the microphone in one of our assemblies in Morgan Hall. In fact Morgan Hall has seen much of the Year 11 group this year, they of course sit studiously and in silence for study periods but there has also been much laughter and sharing of stories. Glenn Manton was the first of our guest appearances for the year, his inspirational ideas focussed around the need for ‘quality of thought’ and ‘being part of the process’ and provided the students with much food for thought as we reflected about the world beyond school. Retreats were the next item on the agenda for Year 11’s and they proved to be a very valuable and worthwhile experience for all students involved. The opportunity to form lasting friendships in homeroom groups is a chance that many other schools don’t offer their students, and the bonds formed on these retreats can often form the basis for friendships that last well beyond the final days of Year 12. Whilst undoubtedly not a lot of sleep was had (and there were some mysterious cow stories) staff and students thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was during this term that we welcomed the talents of Scott Barlow and his band who entertained us with great music and at the same time informed us of the plight facing Aboriginal communities across Australia. I doubt however that they will again witness the talents displayed by Corto as he sang, danced and hugged his way into all our hearts. As the year progressed many of our students began to unlock the mystery of Unit 3 and 4 studies, as over 60 Year 11 students completed a Year 12 subject. Much credit must go to these students for tackling such an onerous task; they have done so with distinction and great enthusiasm. It was a great recognition of the achievements of these students when Mitchell Smith, Chris Brodie, Bradley Wood, James Meade and Adam Smith received the award for academic excellence in their chosen study. The World Youth Day contingent headed off for a whirlwind tour of Europe and regaled us with tales of marvellous places visited and awesome people met. Adrian Hulston and Sam Williams were selected to represent the College at the World Day Youth Convention and although I have serious doubts about the banana in pyjama outfits, they assure me they were great ambassadors for the school. The pressure mounted for a social and the Year 11 Business class ably led by Ms Busk, undertook the organising of the evening. Attended by girls from schools including Star Of The Sea, OLSH, and Windsor, the social proved to be a great success and our students handled themselves with great decorum and confidence. We were also fortunate enough to be invited by OLSH to participate with them in a Christian Leadership day at Bayview Conference Centre. The workshops run by the Reach organisation and our host for the day Mark Dobson, provided not only great entertainment but also many strategies for dealing with the issues facing young people today. The singing of our students was a wonderful thing to watch! The sporting prowess of this year level has again proven itself to be second to none, competing only with the extraordinary variety in hair colour (Mark’s smurf look was one to be applauded for its courage). Whilst not one of our teams actually won a grand final this year there were many moments to celebrate, my personal favourite being the assembly that recognised these achievements. Who could forget Mr Wadley’s tales of Twinkle Toes Pentifallo in the soccer, or Mr Barns’ extraordinary recount of the year that was in ACC footy. Mr Walmsely managed the Hockey team who made the grand final only to be denied a win by a disallowed goal. Not only denying the team of bragging rights, but thankfully denying all of us having to hear about it from Fairs for the rest of the year. The second half of the year has flown by in a blur, with a few moments offered to reflect upon why so many students need to rest in the shade of the containers on Kinnoull oval or why Anthony Hale’s sports bag was so appealing to the ‘dim-simmers’. This year level is a delightful blend of young men from all walks of life with an extraordinary variety of inter-

ests. This is exemplified in the way all of our students (be they the Camberwell boys, the soccer lads, the jocks, the card players, the Harvey Building court-yarders, the hackey-sackers (whose merge with the Mt Waverley boys seems to have gone smoothly) the RockEders, the Europeans and The Wanderers) can blend harmoniously when the need arises. I have been very proud of the ways in which the boys have offered unwavering support and friendship to each other over the course of the year as some of our students face incredibly difficult times. The votes have been tallied for the leaders of 2006 and congratulations must go to all students who participated in the process. I am confident that all Year 12 students in 2006 will be a fine example for the rest of the school, be they elected leaders or not. It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to be so involved in the lives of the Year 11 students in 2005. I wish them the best of luck as they move into the final year of their schooling at De La Salle. Mrs Sally Buick Year 11 Coordinator
