Year 10 2007

The Year 10 group of 2007 have undertaken a busy year. As a group they have been keen participants in all the academic, cultural, sporting and community based events that the College has to offer. It has been a year of settling in to a new campus, learning new routines, meeting greater expectations, as well as preparing for and taking, the first steps into senior studies. For many the first step was a quickstep, cha cha and progressive moves with the girls from Star of the Sea. Around 50 students were involved in the dance classes and hopefully many of these boys will be involved in the Blue and Gold Ball next year. Balls of a different kind occupied the minds of those who competed in a wide range of ACC sports. Thanks to the staff who took the time to train and coach these teams. A special congratulations goes to the ACC Football team, who won the premiership against Whitefriars at East Malvern. Well done, lads! On the subject of winners, a number of Year 10 boys devoted considerable time to the Rock Eisteddfod as performers and backstage crew. A number of boys really stood up and were a great help after the disappointment of the fire, that put the entire crew under immense pressure. Congratulations go to these students for their effort and success. Others were heavily involved the production of ‘The Wiz’. It was great to attend a performance and see the efforts of all the cast and crew, especially the Year 10’s that had both starring and behind the scenes roles. Stories of success and inspiration were presented to those students who participated in a number of programs run outside of the school such as the Reach workshop and ‘Step Ahead’. At these workshops the students were encouraged to take on leadership roles and become involved in the community. Involvement is what the camps and work experience programs are all about. In August and in June we had our camps/ activities and work experience. The Outdoor Education staff ran a surf/bike camp, scuba diving, downhill skiing and a climbing camp at Mt Arapiles. Mr Stewart kindly organized and ran a four day golf camp, Mr Alexander put together a fantastic program of Melbourne day trips. We also had a large group of boys travel to Kincumber Lasallian Youth Camp in NSW, where they were hosted by Br Tim Peter. The rest of the year level was involved in work experience in the city and the country, as professionals and tradesmen. Many of the employers acknowledge the attitude and effort of the boys who came to work for them. Some found themselves being offered parttime jobs Speaking of fantastic jobs, I am greatly appreciative of the staff that helped organize and run the camps. A considerable amount of their own time was donated to have the events run successfully. Towards the end of Term Three tough selections were being made all round, as students were involved in subject selection interviews and committing to programs for next year. Some have chosen a traditional VCE program, others are leaving

to take up apprenticeships, some are undertaking a VET course and others VCAL. Thanks to Ms Busk, Mr Corcoran, Ms Taylor and Mr Marshall for their efforts in assisting and guiding students through this process. To those who have been primarily responsible for the guidance of the Year 10’s the Homeroom teachers I give tremendous thanks. They are patient, understanding and give generously of their time. Ms Liz O’Connor, Mr Trevor Farr, Mr Phil Ryan, Mr Brian Coulthard, Mr Ian Smith, Mr Paul Harrup, Ms Katharine Grace, Mr James Walton and Ms Marisa diGiacomo have been dedicated pastoral leaders to these young men and we are grateful to them. Lastly, congratulations to the young men of Year 10 in 2007. It has been a very worthwhile year. I have enjoyed your company, humour, resolve and contributions. I wish you well for the coming year. Mr David Madigan Year 10 Coordinator
