FROM THE PRINCIPAL

2017 has been a most exciting and successful year. We have consolidated on many of the initiatives that have been introduced into the College in the last few years whilst continuing to improve the facilities and resources available to the staff and students at the College. The new contemporary Science Rooms and the commencement of the new Visual & Digital Arts and English Learning Centre have brought much excitement to the community. This new facility is iconic in design and will be furnished with state of the art teaching resources. I am confident that we will be using this facility in Semester Two, 2018.

EXPANSIVE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS The added emphasis of extra staff dedicated to the Learning Support and the Gifted and Talented Programs, and an added prominence to the Performing Arts, will certainly add to the academic program already in place. These additions will be complimented by some additional calendar events that will have a focus on our Catholic Identity.

Emmanuel is a great school and currently our students perform very well. Most of our Year 12 students will access the ‘after Emmanuel’ dream destination they were intending. Whilst as the Principal of the College that is very satisfying, I want our students to have the structure, facilities and resources to allow them to perform as well as any student in any school across the state.

COLLEGE OF CHOICE I am delighted that the College has developed into the school of choice in this locality. Next year, the student numbers will grow to approximately 1060 students and our enrolment of Year 7 students will increase to 204 students commencing their secondary education at Emmanuel Catholic College.

Added to this, we are full, with 204 Year 7 students, for 2019 and we will be full in 2020, as well, although we will commence the enrolment process in the new academic year.

Next year, raising the academic bar and placing a greater focus on our Catholic identity will be some key themes that will permeate throughout the school year. New teaching facilities, as well as the adjusted bell times will allow less disruptions to lessons.

2017 YEARBOOK

STAFF DEDICATION Next year, we will lose some staff and gain some new teachers to replace those leaving and to accommodate the considerable student growth. The complete list of staff changes has been summarised in the last Newsletter for 2017.

The staff leaving the College in 2017 are: Miss Sarah Branley, Mr Joe Cordina, Mr Martin Dickson, Mr Gary Bailey, Mr Alex Hall, Mrs Claire Hall, Ms Meggan Magro, Mrs Nicole Ryan,Mr Jordan Tirli and Mrs Catherine White.

I do want to highlight three significant staff who are leaving; Mrs Nicole Ryan our Head of The Arts, Mr Gary Bailey our Acting Deputy Principal and Mr Joe Cordina, one of our Deputy Principals.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Mrs Nicole Ryan has been at the College for a number of years and made a tremendous impact on The Arts Learning Area. The Visual/Digital Arts and Performing Arts have both developed substantially and much of it has been because of Mrs Ryan’s passion, initiative, energy and skill to work tirelessly for students’ best interest. Mr Gary Bailey has been at the College since 2011, initially employed as a Head of Year and in 2014 appointed to the position of Head of e-Learning and more recently, the role of Acting Deputy Principal. Throughout his time, he has shown dedication and commitment. We wish him well in his new role as Deputy Principal at Christian Brothers College, Fremantle.

Mr Joe Cordina, has been at the College from the very start. He has certainly seen the College develop in resources as well as students, over the past 19 years.

The Emmanuel community is very thankful of Mr Cordina’s contribution over his nineteen years at the College. Mr Cordina leaves the College for retirement.

We wish him well in this new chapter of his life.

Mr Cordina has certainly influenced and played a major role in developing Emmanuel to the thriving College that it is today. Mr Cordina’s role over the years has required him to work closely in developing staff and students.

We are very fortunate at Emmanuel that we have a generous staff and parents who strongly support the College initiatives. I thank the members of the P&F and The College Board of Management.

Currently the school has close to 1000 students and 100 staff and when I think that he has done this for 19 years at Emmanuel – it translates to working with and forming many people (staff and students) in our community over many years.

Their strong interests in the happenings of our College means that we continue to put forth the best education for our students. The generosity of their time, efforts and expertise is appreciated by all of the College community.

I would like, though, to single out both Belinda Colpitts, President of the P&F and Donna Johnson, Chair of the College Board, for their work and leadership over the year.

In conclusion, to the parents, staff and students of the College, thank you for your support during 2017.

I feel truly blessed and privileged to be the Principal of Emmanuel Catholic College and I look forward to the excitement of 2018 and the flourishing times ahead.

I wish you all a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Thank you and God bless.

COLLEGE BOARD

On behalf of the College Board it gives me great pleasure to provide the 2017 Chairperson’s Report.

I offer my thanks to my fellow Board colleagues Damien Millar, Sarah McDonald, Brad Cuff, Radu Nicola and Mandy Henriques, all dedicated parents who have given generously of their time to bring many different talents to the committee to assist and support the College Executive. The College continues to operate and function in accordance with the Catholic Education Commission’s guidelines with the assistance of the College Board. Enrolments are strong looking forward to the next few years with Emmanuel Catholic College a sought after school for future families and students.

POSITIVE CHANGES I have seen many changes to the College over the years including the recently completed Sports and Performing Arts Centre, a much needed and now well utilized part of the College. The College is continuing to maintain and upgrade the existing buildings and facilities including the upgrade to the Science block and the gradual change over of new lockers which will benefit all the students. Next year will see the completion of the new Arts and English facility.

What a truly amazing environment College students have to learn in.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Mr Leo Di Gregorio, Mr Vince Bellini, Mrs Sonja Matthes, Mrs Michelle Borserio and the Executive Team, together with all of the dedicated teaching and support staff who have cared for and supported our children this past year, and will continue to do so.

The Board would like to thank Mr Joe Cordina for his tireless work and the notable contributions he has made to the College over the past 19 years. Together with the school community we wish him every blessing in his retirement. A special acknowledgement goes to the P&F for their hard work this year.

CHAPLAIN

Although I have been associated with the College since its inception nearly twenty years ago, this year has opened for me a new insight into the busy life of an exceptional community dedicated to educating all. My eyes have been opened to the holistic approach education has embraced. How radically different it is from when I was a secondary student. The teachers on our staff have an amazing relationship with their students; it is one of trust, familiarity and respect. The vast majority of the student body is very content and involve themselves in the many activities offered by the College. They take pride in Emmanuel.

As I sit at my desk, the promise of a superbly beautiful day is dawning, it gives me pause to think how grateful I should be to our Creator who designed the magnificence of our universe. Too often I absorb myself in the little noisy issues of life and forget the big issues of life.

One of those big ones is the welcome I have received as College Chaplain. When Mr Di Gregorio invited me to assume this role, I was overjoyed.

To return to a little slice of the life that gave me so much happiness in the past was more than I could have hoped for. For that I shall be ever grateful.

FAITH FORMATION

Throughout 2017 there have been so many wonderful opportunities for the students and staff to experience their faith at Emmanuel Catholic College. We welcomed Father Bryan Rosling back as the part time College Chaplain. There have been some wonderful Eucharist celebrations during the year.

These include Emmanuel Day and the Feast of the Assumption. These celebrations have provided the community with an opportunity to share in our faith together. We also continued to celebrate Mass in Form groups and it was great to see so many students in attendance. Throughout this year, we have also introduced a fortnightly staff Mass. This opportunity has been well received by staff.

FAITH IN ACTION The year has seen many liturgies, with the celebration of Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and Grandparents’ Mass. All of these celebrations were enriched with the participation of such a large number of the wider College community.

We have also seen a greater focus on the House Patrons, within Feast Day celebrations. For each House, we have created a faith filled liturgy that has reflected the values of the Houses.

As part of the Year 7 transition program, the students participated in a retreat day.

The students reflected on their different communities; year group, House and College. The students learnt about the Core Values and their individual House Patron and values. The Year 11 students were given the opportunity to participate in the “Choicez” seminar. This creates some reflection on themselves and their relationships with others.

2017 has also seen the retreat opportunities at the College double, with the introduction of a Year 8 and Year 9 retreat. These are chances for students to reflect on their personal faith journeys.

In Year 8, students reflected on their relationships with themselves, others and creation with the help of 24:7 Ministry. The Year 9 retreat focused around leadership which was presented by the Youth Mission Team. The College was also given the chance to host the ‘Ignite’ team to run a faith filled evening.

2017 YEARBOOK

Some Year 11 students were given the opportunity to participate in the CEWA Youth Summit focusing on Social Justice, and a variety of students participated in the Archbishop’s LifeLink launch and an Anti-Poverty Mass. These were great opportunities for students to reflect on ways the College can understand and impact a wide variety of Social Justice issues.

The whole College community also held many fundraising events to recognise and contribute to a variety of causes. On Emmanuel Day, money was raised for Caritas Project Compassion and our College Immersion Program. In Term 2, food trucks were run to contribute to LifeLink and Immersion.

Term 4 saw the Annual Christmas Appeal held for the local St Vincent de Paul group, to provide food hampers to families in need in the local area.

The students have demonstrated outstanding generosity over the year and they are to be commended for their efforts.

I would like to thank all those people involved in the faith journey of our students. This can’t be done by any one person but as a team working together for the same purpose to bring Christ alive in our College.

Next year we look forward to further opportunities, with the Australian wide “Year of Youth” being celebrated.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE

We will show respect, compassion and service to others and model Christ in our own behaviour.

Christian Service Learning puts this value into practice. Through the practice of Christian Service, students and staff engage with the wider community looking for opportunities to live out the works of Jesus. This year the students have taken up the challenge to grow in our understanding of faith and as a community, to live out the Gospel message of “loving one another” and “loving our neighbour.”

We have modelled Christ in our own behaviour. This has been an emphasis of what we have achieved at each year level.

SERVICE FOR OTHERS Lower school (Year 7-9) students lived this spirit of service at home, school and their local communities.

Senior students (Year 10-12) served in our wider community with not-for-profit organisations.

The value of service can be measured by how our College contributes to the needs and the well-being of the community around us. This has been highlighted by the generosity of the school driven by the Student Leadership Team and the “Domino Effect.” The number of donations and assistance given to these organisations was a testament to the charity and love our community seeks to give to others.

On the Staff Service Day in July, our entire school staff found the time to go out and live this spirit of service as well. Numerous organisations were very grateful for all of the help that we were able to provide. The joy and love we were able to give to each other as well as the people we helped was immeasurable. Our community, wherever we have given our time, has spread the message of Christ in the way that we have served.

The spirit of service is something we wish to develop in the College for years to come. The enthusiasm of the students in getting involved in volunteering has been inspiring for all to see. Some students have been finishing hours of service far beyond what they have been asked to complete. Other students now volunteer regularly to contribute to the community to which they belong. Our College has committed to service in the past few years with our Warmun Immersion.

14

|

2017 YEARBOOK

This commitment highlights the value of what Christ asks of us all; to work with those that have the most need. Experience of service can also be summed up by the words of a few of our Year 11 students who have finished their hours of service to the community:

Doing Christian Service at Emmanuel means I am doing something good in our community. I like doing Christian Service as it helps me in life and faith.

Jesse Falk - Year 11 “My experiences have exposed me to the lives of the less fortunate within our community. Christian Service has aided me in recognising and valuing the opportunities I have been presented with throughout my life. It has encouraged me to show respect, compassion and service to others by giving to the needy and assisting the less fortunate.”

Nic Bontempo - Year 11 “While doing Christian Service I was able to see the people I was helping. Seeing their grateful faces after my service has made me feel like I had done something important and that I was helping to make someone’s life more fulfilling. I felt like I was giving my light to help someone else’s light shine brighter and giving those who have lost faith more hope.”

Jennifer Vu - Year 11 Mr Nikolas Martinskis Director of Christian Service

EMMANUEL DAY

On Friday 24 March our Ninth Annual Emmanuel Day kicked off, with even more fun and laughter than the year previous. The day began with Mass celebrated in the SPACE. The Mass was exceptionally special on this day as it is held on the Feast of the Annunciation. Father Dat from Mater Christi Parish celebrated with us and showed us his soccer skills in the Staff versus Students Soccer Game. Each year, Year 12 students get a team together to take on staff in what is meant to be a fun soccer match. However, the competitive nature of both the staff and students made for a very serious but entertaining start to Emmanuel Day celebrations the staff defeated the students 2 – 1.

CELEBRATING EMMANUEL DAY A wide variety of food stalls and activities were set up by every Form group, reflecting the organisation and creative skills of our school community. A favourite stall was the dunk tank, where students had the opportunity to dunk teachers all for a good cause.

Congratulations to 3rd place Tania Biju (10FN) and Esther Maloba (10MA), 2nd place Monique Bodilly (8TE) and Tenaya Scholten (8FN) and the winner Rensih Maullon (11LI). Rensih amazed the students with her fabulous hip hop routine that saw a massive crowd reaction.

Incredibly, over $6300 was raised by our student body, and donated evenly towards Project Compassion run by Caritas Australia and the Warmun Immersion Program.

All performers where incredible and provided a brief insight into the hidden talents of Emmanuel Catholic College students.

The funds were greatly appreciated by everyone involved, making the day’s celebrations all the more important to our community.

Emmanuel Day allows students to celebrate the College and demonstrate charity and compassion.

Concluding the days celebrations was the Emmanuel Catholic College Talent Show. The Talent show showcased a variety of talents from singing to dancing.

The Talent Show this year was a massive success and it was great to see so many students supporting their peers. Getting on stage in front of such a large audience takes lots of courage, so well done to all students who took part on the day.

2017 YEARBOOK

Overall the day was exciting and action packed for both the staff and students, showing that hard work and commitment pays off, which made Emmanuel Day 2017 a great success and one of the best events on the College Calendar.

Emmanuel Day represents the true nature of Emmanuel Catholic College, as a community that includes every student and staff member to create not only an enjoyable day but raise money for the community and world around us.

A massive thank you to all staff and students, particularly the House Coordinators, Form teachers, and Student Leaders for their efforts, ensuring the day was as enjoyable as possible.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM

The Student Leadership Team of 2017, has been busy since day one, working behind the scenes, leading by example to make this year an exciting one. Our goal, to create positive changes to the school environment and community, all whilst making life long memories. This was achieved through the constant determination, initiative and leadership skills shown by all the students who make up the Student Leadership Team. Together, we started the year with our leadership and team building day down at Hammond Park Catholic Primary School. This gave us the opportunity to combine talents, know one another, as well as brainstorming ideas which could be implemented to achieve our goals.

LEADING THROUGH GENEROSITY Through the Student Leadership Team driven fundraiser, we saw the huge success of the ‘Domino Effect! This brought about a whole school contribution of donating various items of clothing, blankets and canned foods, essentially creating a domino effect of kindness towards the impoverished. We received a combined total of over 180 bags of clothing, 76 blankets and 210 cans of food sent to the St Vincent De Paul Society, AYLA & Shopfront.

Hopefully the Domino Effect continues to create an outcome of kindness and generosity throughout our community.

Emmanuel Day was a Student Leadership Team directed event, a great day filled with enjoyable festivities and school spirit. However, our Arts night, House days, Sports Carnivals, College Open Days and other events we led throughout the year, were amongst the successes, due to the hard work of all the Student Leadership Team.

Throughout this year the Student Leadership Team have really put in a huge amount of effort to try and make these events not only run and be functional, but also to ensure that they were enjoyable and memorable. We’d like to express our gratitude to Mr Peter Sackett and Mr Dryw Edwards for coordinating the Student Leadership Team in 2017. Your dedication, ongoing support, guidance and assistance, made this year’s Student Leadership Team, stand out like no other. We would like to thank Mr Mark Claydon from “4 The Team” for being so involved in this year’s Leadership Team and for running our team building and development courses throughout the year.

A fantastic effort has been put in by all 2017 Student Leaders and we’d like to thank all representatives for all your hard work and dedication throughout 2017. As the 2017 College Captains, our message on leadership is that, great leaders don’t set out to be a leader...they set out to make a difference. We know, that the 2018 Student Leadership Team will continue to do this, making the year ahead another memorable one!

Alex Smith & Chloe De Faria Let’s not forget the enthusiasm shown at the Staff College Captains of 2017 vs Students Football game, leading to another very competitive and exciting afternoon enjoyed by all.

Congratulations to the Environmental, Art, Sport and Community areas of the College on your great achievements this year being led by our portfolio student leaders and Heads of Departments. The growth and recognition seen has been tremendous and this is going to get better in years to come.

YEAR 12

On Saturday, 11 February the Terrace Ballroom at the Hyatt hosted the Emmanuel Catholic College Ball. The students enjoyed an evening of elegance and enjoyment, starting with ‘mocktails’ on the terrace. The ladies dazzled in an array of beautiful gowns and the young men looked amazing in the variety of suits chosen for the occasion. The atmosphere was incredible with much laughter and dancing throughout the night. The high spirits by all continued throughout the night, whether having formal or fun photos, the constant anticipation of the next song, or whilst dining on the lovely three course meal. All revelled in the night one never will forget.

FINAL JOURNEY The highlight for some, was the lead up to the announcement of Belle and Beau of the ball.

The attire and conduct of guests, with specific reference to ‘inclusiveness’ of all on the night, led to a very agonising decision for Mr. Bellini and myself.

Congratulations to Briannon McGuinness and Alex Harding, who are to be commended on their ability to be social and sophisticated.

The 2017 ball was an opportunity for the students to embrace their last year of schooling.

The way in which the College was represented on this night was outstanding. I am extremely proud of the ladies and gentlemen from Year 12 and hope the beautiful memories of this stunning night will always remain with them.

“A night of memories to be treasured for a very long time. One of the biggest highlights of our final year.”

Chamishka Isaacs - Year 12 “The school ball was an enjoyable night as we came together as a year group to celebrate our high school journey together. It was nice seeing everyone dressed up including the teachers. The night brought us together as one, heading into the year ahead.”

Jack Myers - Year 12 “The night of the ball was filled with food, dance and laughter. Time with my friends, looking fabulous, taking photos and rocking out on the dance floor was awesome.”

2017 YEARBOOK

To the Class of 2017, I say you can look back over your time spent at Emmanuel with considerable pride, at your long list of achievements. – academic performance, music performance, SAS Sport, ACC Carnivals, House Feast Days, Emmanuel Days, Community Service, College trips, excursions, the Ball….the list goes on and, of course, in between all that lots and lots of hard work, study, assessments and exams.

I have enjoyed working with you and getting to know you all. I’ve shared successes and good times with many of you. I’ve shared some difficult times with a few of you. We have grown together over the past two years.

My parting words I will leave you with; “live a life that matters by never losing sight of the person you want to be.” Remember that your relationships with people are more important than material things in life. I wish you rich blessings for wherever your journey, your next chapter in your book of life, takes you and I thank all of you for your contributions.

YEAR 11

2017 has certainly been a year to remember. Although it proved to be challenging at times, nothing compared to the amazing opportunities that the Year 11 students were given. The transition from Year 10 to Year 11 brings with it many personal development, educational and spiritual changes.

Starting the year as senior students was daunting, and some began to thrive with the opportunities of INSTEP and work experience. Many Year 11 students were involved in a wide range of sporting and co-curricular activities. They were a part of the BStreet Smart Campaign, a road safety awareness campaign where students gained important messages to help them make safer choices whilst driving.

REALISING THEIR POTENTIAL Our Pastoral Care Program also included a variety of RAC presentations and mindfulness training making it relevant to the year group with most gaining their drivers licence this year and learning the importance of staying mentally healthy.

There have been art exhibitions and for the first time an ATAR Drama course was offered at Emmanuel indicating the wide range of talented young men and women in our year group. Many of the Arts students also took the opportunity to take part in the Japan Arts tour which allowed them to experience and immerse themselves into the beautiful and unique Japanese culture.

Leadership involvement was shown with students involved in Peer Support and SLT training workshops.

The Peer Support program provided opportunities for the Year 11 students to be engaged with the Year 7 students in making their transition to high school.

Year 11’s also went through a highly competitive opportunity to be part of the Year 11 Immersion Program to Warmun, a remote Aboriginal community in the Kimberley. This experience provided the Year 11’s first-hand experience of this small close knit community.

Upon return the students realised the lifestyles that they live in, and gave them a sense of appreciation and gratefulness to the abundant opportunities that they are provided with. This showed the growth these students had gained emotionally, spiritually and mentally.

2017 YEARBOOK

In the sporting arena, there are state and regional representatives across sports such as Athletics, Ice Skating, Netball, Cheer, Baseball and AFL. Students also showed commitment and team spirit in the school held sporting events including, the ACC Cross Country, Athletic and Swimming Carnivals.

The informal events such as the House activities, Emmanuel Day and the Year 11 Dinner Dance had all participating in great spirit and cohesiveness. It was a delight seeing all the staff and students enjoying the Dinner Dance with many of the students refusing to leave the dance floor, they were enjoying themselves so much.

If the Dinner Dance was any indicator I look forward to the ball being even more spectacular.

At this point I would like to thank all the College community that have been involved in shaping these young lives including parents and guardians, the Form teachers, classroom teachers, pastoral team and administrative staff. Your ongoing support and assistance is greatly appreciated.

Finally, I would like to congratulate the new College Captains for 2018 – Remy Lieuwes and Jaahnavi Cheyyur as well as the rest of the Student Leadership Team. I look forward to their leadership of Year 12 and the College community.

YEAR 10

In my first year at Emmanuel, I have been totally impressed with this friendly and dedicated group of Year 10 students. I have enjoyed leading them on their Year 10 journey in 2017 and I believe that they now enter Year 11 as a more cohesive, more organised and better prepared year group.

Each student has represented the College with dignity and pride and I couldn’t be happier with their progress over the last few months. It was a busy (and at times hectic) year; there was hardly a week where the Year 10 students weren’t involved in an extra-curricular activity or representing the College in some capacity. From participating in the ACC Carnivals, Drama Productions, Mock Trials, at Leadership Conferences or participating in the various Workplace Programs.

YEAR OF INVOLVEMENT I was proud of every student who put their hand up to be involved in extra-curricular activities this year.

I encourage more to take up this challenge in their final two years at the College. A focus on ‘equality and balance’, ‘routine’ and ‘being role models’ throughout the pastoral program was integrated this year.

Students listened to presentations and gained tips through the following sessions, with the aim of having more success both within and outside of the classroom: YEAR 10 SESSIONS

• Elevate Education’s Study Tips/Exam Preparation • Jane Genovese’s Learning Fundamentals • Time Management and Surviving Year 10 Buying a Car and Back Seat Driver • RAC’s Workshops

• Paul Litherland Safe Social Media Presentation • Mobile phones set off airport security screening Specialties Australia presentation on • Youth motivation and self esteem

• Life and Work Balance Workshop These sessions were designed to prepare the students for the last three years of their time at Emmanuel, as well in their life after school. While we still have some work to do, through the sessions the learning was informative and practical.

2017 YEARBOOK

For example, they learnt how to better utilise time, how to be safe outside of the College and how to implement strategies to be more successful in Year 11 and 12.

With many other more relaxed events, like games throughout Form, Emmanuel Day, the River Cruise and other social opportunities, the cohort was able to show how friendly and genuine they are. It was wonderful seeing these young adults interacting in a non-classroom environment and displaying skills such as teamwork, respect and enthusiasm.

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Year 10 students to thank the staff of the College for their assistance, passion and time in facilitating their many successes. The Form teachers, Classroom teachers, Teaching assistants, and Administrative and Library staff have played an integral role in the development of this year group. Your support has been essential and I thank you all for your dedication and wisdom.

Congratulations to the Year 10 students of 2017.

You all have grown and matured into confident and inspiring young ladies and gentlemen.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you this year and I look forward to spending the final two years of your College journey with you.

YEAR 9

Emmanuel Year 9 students were heavily involved in a great many activities throughout 2017. This year’s Pastoral Care Program had the focus of ‘reflection and thinking first, in order to make good decisions’. This focus was well supported, with students lucky enough to have a number of guest presenters during Pastoral Care periods. ‘Good decision making when using IT devices’ was heavily discussed. Mid-year, the Year 9 cohort experienced a ‘Year 9 Retreat’. This day-long event gave students the opportunity to reflect, with the content covered on the day having strong ties to the focus of the Year’s Pastoral Care Program.

CHALLENGED TO SUCCEED Late in the year, students were challenged to start preparing themselves right now as Year 9 students, prior to them having to make subject selections for upper school mid next year. Another highlight of this years’ Pastoral Care Program was when students received a surprise ‘Reflection’ letter from their parents in their last Pastoral Care period of the year.

In 2017 a small number of Year 9 students were recognised for achieving Academic Honours & Excellence Awards for both the Semester Two reports from 2016 as well as the Semester One reports this year.

This year significant numbers of Year 9 students elected ‘Bush Rangers’ as one of their subjects. The camp components of this course once again was the real highlight for most students, with many getting the ‘opportunity to excel’ outside of a traditional classroom.

Many Year 9 students were relieved this year in that they did not have to sit through any more Immunisation sessions, but at the same time, many were not all that thrilled that they did have to revisit NAPLAN testing.

The Year 9 Canberra Tour was very well supported this year, with fifty Year 9 students touring in the second week of the Term Two holidays. Being fortunate to be on this tour myself, I got to see first-hand just how successful this tour was.

The College’s junior footballers had a great experience playing in the ‘curtain raiser’ for the last ever AFL game played at Domain Stadium for the final of the Year 8 & 9 Junior Boys School Boys Cup. Although the team suffered a narrow defeat, the experience for all would have been a real highlight of their football year.

A significant number of our Year 9 girls committed to being involved in the 2017 ‘YohFest’ Performance.

The Emmanuel ‘Dance Group,’ comprising of girls from Years 7 to 9, gave up several hours of their own time over several weekends prior to their performance. Their performance at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre late in September was first class, and well supported by many Emmanuel families. It was great to see throughout the year at College assemblies students in Year 9 recognised for their achievements.

Equally, it was great to see a number of Year 9 students regularly ‘adding’ to College assemblies by sharing their musical talents.

Congratulations to all Year 9 students on a great year and a huge thanks to all staff, particularly the Year 9 Form Teachers, who have helped the Year 9 cohort throughout this year. It is hard to believe that this group of students are now half way through their ‘Emmanuel journey.’

YEAR 8

2017 has proved to be a busy year for the Year 8 students. It can be a daunting time for students, as the workload of homework and assignments increases and they need to manage their time more effectively in order to produce quality work. It has been wonderful to see so many students be rewarded with some outstanding results in various areas of the curriculum. This year has seen the Year 8 students participating in electives that they had selected. It was wonderful to see the eagerness and application of the students working in these classes, that were of a particular interest to them.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING Through these elective subjects, students have been given the opportunity to be involved in some truly memorable experiences. The Year 8 Bush Ranger students participated in three camps and were able to reinforce what they had learnt in the classroom and develop their leadership skills throughout these camps.

The Year 8 Social event was again well received. It was great to see so many of the students at the Ice Skating Disco at Cockburn Ice Arena and assisting each other and the Year 7 students to get around the ice rink. A big thank you to the Student Leaders who have been busy planning what the social event for next year will be.

The July school holidays was a busy time for students involved in the Football and Netball Academies.

The boys in the Football Academy had the privilege of touring Melbourne while the girls in the Netball Academy had the honour of representing the College, while on tour at the Gold Coast.

As was the case last year, many students have shown exceptional commitment to their chosen sport and co-curricular activities. Students displayed their talents on the sporting fields each week, in addition to using their musical and dancing gifts in the many College ensembles.

Other areas of student contribution are the many House Carnivals and activities and of course our very special Emmanuel Day. The Year 8 involvement in such events is invaluable in assisting the students in their engagement in our College community. I challenge all students to continue to find a way they Congratulations to the students who embraced the can contribute to College life. theme in their ‘Attitude is Everything’ lessons and to those who embodied respect in the way they To all the teachers who have been involved with Year conducted themselves this year.

It was fantastic to see so many students inviting their Fathers and sharing breakfast Mrs Susan Kennedy Head of Year 8 together before they started their busy day.

The overarching theme of the Pastoral Care Program for Year 8 was Respect; for themselves, College, peers and adults who support them.

YEAR 7

On February 1, 2017, the silence at Emmanuel Catholic College was broken when 186 Year 7 students ascended onto the grounds to begin their high school journey. The move from primary to secondary school is a major milestone. Some students were full of fun and excitement, looking forward to new experiences, but others looked a little nervous trying to find a familiar face in the crowd maybe someone they met at orientation a few months previous. All students had one thing in common, they were all new, mixing with different groups, learning new forms of school organisation and having many more teachers.

EXPLORATION THROUGH LEARNING They were told to explore the school grounds whilst they had the chance – little did they know what this really meant as the following day they had to share the campus with an additional 800 students.

The Year 7’s have been involved in many events, the first being the Retreat. This is where they gained an insight into our Core Values and how we develop House Spirit. Throughout the year this was put to the test during events such as sport competitions during lunch time, Form quizzes, fundraising for many different organisations and the Emmanuel Day stalls.

Our social event was held at the Cockburn Ice Arena, this was the first time many stepped onto the ice and a fabulous time was had by those that attended.

The Hills Forest experience was a great day off campus. The students were involved in Aboriginal activities, tracking animals and conservation. They then applied their knowledge to subjects they were studying at school.

We attended THRIVE at the Convention Centre as part of the Pastoral Care focus designed around building relationships, self-confidence and personal resilience.

Throughout the year our lessons explored the seven essential resiliency skills; Emotional awareness & self regulation, Impulse control, Optimism, Flexible & accurate thinking, Empathy, Self efficacy, Connecting & reaching out.

2017 YEARBOOK

I would like to take the opportunity to thank my Form Teachers, and to all students for their participation and willingness to embrace Emmanuel. I am aware you are all at different stages on this journey however, if we all work together over the next five years the experiences will be rewarding.

STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCES OF YEAR 7 “One of my favourite lessons is sport because the facilities here at Emmanuel are fantastic and there are lots of opportunities.”

Riley Lawton - Frassati

I recently took part in the athletics competition against other schools, which was great fun, we won!

Charles Betts - Teresa “I was really nervous when I started high school but I have had a brilliant time during my first year and look forward to the next five years. Since starting, I have made lots of new friends. My favourite lessons are all of them because I am learning new things in each subject.”

Fionnuala McElroy - More “My favourite lessons are all of the performing art lessons because I can show off all my creative skills.

Next year I am looking forward to taking part in the school Production. My best day at Emmanuel was Book Week dress-up day.”

TEST TITLE FRANCIS PAGE HOUSE

2017 has proven to be a very successful year for Francis! For the first time in our short history we have managed to take out the Trifecta. This meant we were the champions of the Swimming, CrossCountry and Athletics Carnivals! We were even fortunate enough to take out the Tassie Devil for outstanding participation in the Swimming Carnival. These achievements however don’t just happen.

They are a result of hard work and dedication from each and every member of our House. It was also great to see our SLT’s take their roles seriously at each of these Carnivals, led by our upper school leadership students, Alyse Tarbotton, Cameron McCreanor and Melissa Heane.

JUSTICE, STEWARDSHIP & RESPECT

HOUSE CHAMPIONS

These students used these opportunities to mentor our younger SLTs, Bailey Snook, Andie Johnson, Jordana Crane, Ashton Rebelo and Desiree Bueza.

The future of Francis House is bright indeed with such promising young people waiting in the wings to lead our great House.

I am proud to say that the students gave the proper respect to these activities and walked away with a greater appreciation of the importance of the day.

Another one of our main events of the year was Emmanuel Day. The students’ House Spirit truly shone through on this occasion; the planning process had taken weeks and each of the students contributed to the stalls on display. Everyone had to run the stalls, as well as provide donations. Each student worked together for a common cause, and they should be extremely proud of the money they were able to raise for both Caritas and Emmanuel’s Immersion Program.

The year consisted of many highlights, one of which was the celebration we had for our patron Saint St Francis of Assissi.

We used this Feast Day to come together as a House to celebrate this special day. We celebrated with a liturgy in which our students used as an opportunity to reflect on the events of the year. During the Pastoral Care period on this day awareness for ‘R U OK? Day’ was raised. This was a great opportunity for staff to model to our students our House Values of Justice, Stewardship and Respect.

2017 YEARBOOK

Throughout the year students had the opportunity to participate in many events such as the annual spelling bee, volleyball competition and chess tournament.

It is always great to see our students excel in these activities but more importantly give everything a go.

It was great to see so many students step outside their comfort zones and try something new at these events. I hope to see more House participation at these events in 2018.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each staff member in Francis for the contributions they have made this year. Your contributions have not gone unnoticed and we have you to thank for our successes. Even more importantly is each one of our students. I am very proud to be able to bear witness to the outstanding talents of our House which you have all displayed throughout the year.

Well done to each and every one of you on all your efforts, participation and House Spirit that you demonstrated throughout the course of the year.

All your achievements are a result of your hard work and I am super excited to see what 2018 has in store for all of us!

FRASSATI HOUSE

The Year 2017 has been an exciting year which has been embraced by all Frassati students and staff.

Frassati staff and students model themselves on our patron Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (19011925) born in Turin, Italy. He was born into a wealthy family, but showed great passion for helping the less fortunate. Frassati never just donated money, but instead would give of himself and would be a servant to those in need. Frassati demonstrated peace through his love of the Eucharist and meditation, and perseverance through fighting Fascism. Frassati House has adopted the values of peace, passion and perseverance, both students and staff try to live these values in their daily lives.

PEACE, PASSION & PERSEVERANCE Throughout 2017, Frassati has participated very well in numerous events and Sporting Carnivals. The Swimming Carnival is the first major House event of the year and is always full of excitement from all students, especially our Year 7’s experiencing their first College Carnival. The day is all about having fun and enjoying the time with other students from Frassati House. Although, it is a competition and in the pool we performed well finishing 4th for the overall shield and 2nd for the Tassie Devil Award.

The Cross Country had all students trying their hearts out in warm conditions on the day.

Our Year 7’s led from the front dominating the Cross-Country track, as we finished in 3rd place.

The Athletics Carnival was a massive improvement from 2016. We finished in 2nd place for the overall shield and won the Tassie Devil Award. I could not be prouder of how all students participated and got involved at every Carnival. We celebrated Frassati Day with a Liturgy in the Library, which celebrated Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati’s life.

During our Feast Day, students and staff participated in an Amazing Race style activity which saw groups completing road blocks, detours and challenges around the College. Students from all years participated in the House Volleyball Competition where they showed great sportsmanship and impressive volleyball skills.

2017 YEARBOOK

All Frassati students came together in the last few weeks of Term 3 to farewell our Year 12 students.

I would like to say a big ‘see you later’ to our Year 12’s, and we wish to see you all come back to the College in the future. We wish you all a safe, happy and prosperous journey in your life and hope that you never forget your time here at Emmanuel as a member of Frassati House.

A massive thanks to our amazing House leaders who showed great dedication to the House across the year helping out at so many different events. A big thank you to Imogen Spencer who led from the front as House Captain.

Thanks to Year 11 Representative Zaylee Olsen, Year 10 Representative Sophie Brewer, Year 9 Representative Ben Harper, Year 8 Representatives Tara Brookes, Piper Conti and our Year 7 Representatives Riley Lawton and Bayley Harrington.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of all Frassati House students to thank all the Frassati House teachers for their help throughout the year.

Your support for our Frassati students is fantastic!

A special thank you to Miss Gillian Lugton who was Frassati House Coordinator for Term 3 and did a fantastic job!

TEST TITLE LISIEUX PAGEHOUSE

2017 was another great year for Lisieux! We were very competitive in all aspects of the College life and gave it our all in every House competition. All members of the Lisieux House demonstrated our House Value of Spirit in 2017. Lisieux was strongly led by its Student Leaders this year and a big thank you must go out to the following students for their contribution. Eliza Vinci as House Captain, Jaahnavi Cheyyur, Teal Cuff, Joshua Van Sebille, Set Zareie, Adam Chaplin, Imogen Reed and Annelise Meerton who generously gave their time to assist with the development of House Spirit and were always enthusiastic and committed to our House.

TRUST, SPIRIT & GENEROSITY Lisieux has a tradition of being competitive at the Swimming Carnivals and 2017 was no exception. We were ready to defend our title and dreamt of getting the three-peat! We were loud which made for a very competitive and enthusiastic atmosphere, which inspired our swimmers to give it a go and have some fun. It was a two-horse race from the start with Lisieux and Francis exchanging blow for blow after every event. We came a valiant second, only going down by 1 point!

Teaching us that participation is everything and we will take this important lesson into 2018!

I would like to commend all our swimmers for their efforts and give it a go attitude.

A special thank you to the following students, who demonstrated great Spirit and commitment coming in the top three for their respective age group: Ethan Hart, Larni Roberts, Sarah Ryder-Butling, Sally Poore, Nathan Hart and Molly Neal.

Emmanuel Day is where we celebrate being a community and demonstrate generosity by raising funds for two worthy causes, the College Immersion and Caritas. We were able to raise the largest amount in comparison to the rest of the Houses with the Year 11’s doing really well. Term One is always a busy House term with the final day being InterHouse Cross-Country Carnival. A very competitive effort coming in 4th! Well done everyone!

2017 YEARBOOK

The students showed a tremendous amount of Spirit and commitment during the event, cheering each other on and enjoying the sunny afternoon.

As a House, we are very proud of everyone for participating, the more students attending means the greater chance of winning! Congratulations goes out to our top three finishers: Chloe James, Larni Roberts, Josh Burns, Joshua Van Sebille, Joe Merendino, Daniella Zuvela, Teal Cuff, Sienna Cuff, Alex De Andrade Basto and Matthew Armstrong.

The final carnival was the Athletics Carnival, hoping we would take the trophy away from Francis this year. A great day that generates a lot of competition amongst the students and Houses. The competitive spirit was great to witness, students cheering each other on and giving their all. Lisieux performed well in both Championship Shield events and the Tassie Devil. Coming 3rd in both!

Some outstanding performances were achieved by the following students: Chloe James, Josh Burns, Daniella Zuvela, Teal Cuff, Alex De Andrade Basto and Kayne Ferraro who all finished top 3 for their respective year groups.

Finally, I want to thank all members of the Lisieux Community, staff and students for all your effort, commitment, enthusiasm and demonstrating Core Values of both our House and College in everything you did.

MACKILLOP HOUSE

2017 was a tremendous year for MacKillop House where we united through the colour blue and the spirit of Saint Mary MacKillop, displaying our House Values of courage, determination and integrity in not only the College events, but in all facets of school life. The MacKillop House Student Leadership Team, under the direction of House Captain Ella Smith, worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure 2017 was a year of excitement, activity and pride for the MacKillop House Students. Efforts of Olivia Ward, Romick Ediriweera, Chloe Evans, Genevieve Brink, Matthew Bilman, Nikita King and James Ierino deserve a special thank you for their generosity and commitment.

COURAGE, DETERMINATION & INTEGRITY The Student Leadership Team ensured a wonderful year for all MacKillop House students. The year kicked off with the Emmanuel Catholic College Swimming Carnival. MacKillop House students battled tenaciously throughout the day, putting on a display of courage through competing in multiple events with every last bit of energy they have.

Tahlia Murray from Year 7 led the way, winning Champion Girl for her year group! Patrick Tepana, Cole Chadwick, Riley Seale, Georgia Ennis and Ella Smith also deserve commendations for finishing in the top three in their respective year groups.

MORE HOUSE TEST TITLE PAGE

Loyalty, Strength, Wisdom. These are the three Core Values of our House and the members of More House have worked hard to meet them in 2017. It has been a great privilege to lead More House in 2017 and to work with so many talented, dedicated and enthusiastic staff and students. The arrival of 31 lively and excited Year 7’s injected a boost of enthusiasm into the House and these students maintained their participation and effort in House activities throughout the year. The Swimming Carnival saw success for some of our students in the traditional events. The Tassie Devil events also provided an opportunity for other students to be involved and support their House.

LOYALTY, STRENGTH & WISDOM The Year 7’s cheered their own chant throughout the day with great vigour and created a fantastic atmosphere for the whole House. The Cross Country in Week 10 was a highlight for More House. We won the Tassie Devil award for the best participation rate of all the Houses. This was a fantastic effort on the part of the students from the whole House.

Emmanuel Day was an opportunity for staff and students to celebrate the values of our school. Each of the forms donated time, effort and money in order to run a stall and raise money for charity. Leadership, friendship and service were all demonstrated by our students on this very special day in the Emmanuel calendar.

In Term Two, the sun shone on the Athletics Carnival and More House students had the opportunity to display their athletic skills and fantastic team work.

In Term Three the Spelling Bee gave the More House students an opportunity to demonstrate their lexical brilliance. Kaiana Wadia represented our house in the Inter House final with great skill and poise.

Term Three also saw the students throw themselves into the Interhouse Volleyball competition. Many students gave up their lunchtimes to represent their House and have a huge amount of fun.

The Farewell to the Year 12’s held in Week Nine was a celebration of what these students have offered to More House. They were presented with gifts including a letter from a Year 7 More student and our sincere best wishes for their future.

Without the efforts of the student leadership team, these events would not happen. A big vote of thanks must go to this year’s team: Katie McTigue in Year 12, Nicholas Bontempo in Year 11, Jayden Foote in Year 10 and Letesha Monastra in Year 9. Year 8 More was ably represented by Kai Mayers and Vahlenna Tankem and Year 7 by Ebony Grant and Alyssa Thomas.

Each of these students contributed greatly to House activities and showed strong leadership qualities throughout the year. An equal vote of thanks must be made to the Form Teachers in More House.

Miss Zoey Baxter, Miss Amy Morris, Mrs Serra Driver, Miss Gillian Lugton and Mr Mario Marciano began the year as Form Teachers. Mr Martin Dickson and Mrs Rebecca Cummins assisted with these roles during the year. Their dedication and assistance was very much appreciated by the students, and by me as the House Co-ordinator.

I look forward to what 2018 brings to the loyal, strong and wise students and staff of More House.

TERESA HOUSE

2017 has been a spectacular year for Teresa House here at Emmanuel Catholic College. It has been encouraging to see the many Teresa students engage with the variety of activities the College has to offer; from Sporting Carnivals and teams to participating in the Arts. Throughout this year we have been focusing on the House Values, Charity, Compassion and Dignity which are all qualities of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta. The first major event, being the College Swimming Carnival, started with a bang in the initial weeks of Term One. It was fantastic to see all the students embracing a healthy amount of competition and adorning themselves in purple.

CHARITY, COMPASSION & DIGNITY Students from all year groups engaged in traditional races and Tassie Devil events. There were outstanding individual achievements from Christian Silas (Year 7), Caitlin Silas (Year 9), Bella Piccaro (Year 10), Connor Bull (Year 10) and Joe Waters (Year 12) who all won the individual champion in their respective Year Group.

A massive thank you to everyone who participated and cheered from the stands. Teresa led for most of the day and was only pipped at the post in the last few relays.

Emmanuel Day is another big event in the life of the College. This year Teresa Forms planned and ran stalls in the afternoon.

I must commend the students with their creativity as Teresa Forms had stalls ranging from Guess the Lolly Jars, Ice Slushies and Skill Tester Games. The day concluded with the Emmanuel Talent Quest which is always a crowd favourite. It was a fantastic way to display the many talents of the students in the College. Emmanuel Day once again was a truly wonderful celebration.

I am always astounded when it comes to the many sporting carnivals throughout the year. Students are always happy to put up their hand to help out Teresa House. This could be seen in both the College Cross Country and Athletic Carnivals in which we finished fifth in both.

2017 YEARBOOK

It would be remiss of me not to mention the outstanding efforts in the Cross Country where: Elyssa Crimmins (Year 9), Milla Zhai (Year 11) And Emma Kerrison (Year 12) won their respective Champion Year level. Teresa House also had Milla Zhai (Year 11) and Lachlan Feeney (Year 12) winning their Individual Champion Awards at the Athletic Carnival.

Term Three saw the College community celebrating Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta. All students within Teresa House gathered in the library to participate in a liturgical festivity. Students were reminded of the outstanding acts of kindness and empathy that was very much a part of this special woman.

The Liturgy also focused on the virtue of Charity as it is one of the key mottos of the house. Afterwards students enjoyed a short montage of images highlighting the major events of Teresa House.

I would like to thank all the students and staff (the purple army) that assisted and participated in many of the activities and events run throughout the year.

It’s your help and dedication that make them such a success.

I would also like to wish the departing Year 12 Teresa students all the best with their future endeavours.

Thanks for the fantastic year in Teresa and let’s make 2018 bigger and better.

NAIDOC WEEK

This year in Term Three, Emmanuel celebrated NAIDOC Week, which is usually held in the July school holidays. NAIDOC stands for ‘National Aboriginal and Islanders Day of Observance Committee’, which started in 1957. NAIDOC Week is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and it is an opportunity for the wider community to recognise the contributions of Indigenous Australians in various fields, such as Academic, Sport, Singing, Painting and Dancing. Each year Emmanuel celebrates NAIDOC Week to show our respects to past and present Indigenous people, and this year was no different.

CULTURAL AWARENESS To help us celebrate NAIDOC Week this year, we were fortunate to have one of Australia’s most admired Aboriginal singer-song writers; Phillip Walley-Stack to come into the College and perform for us.

Phillip performed a traditional Welcome to Country to welcome us onto Nyungar land and opened our whole school assembly.

Phillip also sang two songs for us, a traditional song, which incorporated Nyungar language, which was very special and fitting as our theme this year is to highlight the Indigenous language and all of the language groups, so Indigenous language groups do not become extinct. Philip finished his performance by singing a contemporary song about the importance of land.

Philip is an extraordinary artist, he was praised by the school community, and awed many of the students.

Acacia Cultural Designs also constructed a sand mural for our college, using the traditional colours of the land, to reflect the 2017 NAIDOC theme “our language matters”. The year’s theme shows the importance, resilience and richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. It shows the important role that Indigenous languages play in cultural identity, linking people to their land and water and in the transmission of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, spirituality and rites through story and song.

Students celebrated NAIDOC Week enthusiastically, with multiple opportunities to participate in Form quizzes, hand print activities to promote Indigenous culture and rock art to express themselves.

Overall NAIDOC Week this year was a huge success with the whole school community celebrating the Indigenous culture. NAIDOC Week would not have been possible without the support of staff and the enthusiasm of students.

INDIGENOUS EVENTS

The Indigenous Program at Emmanuel Catholic College continues to grow and develop each year. This year, the whole College community benefited greatly from the support of all staff and organisations, education on significant topics, assemblies, guest speakers and social events run by the Indigenous Program. These events all provided a rich cultural experience for our whole school community. At the start of the year, Emmanuel celebrated the 9th Anniversary of the National Apology on the 13 February. In Forms, all students watched a music video mash-up of the 2008 National Apology by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

INCLUSIVE CULTURE The National Apology video also featured singer Will.i.am and famous Australians such as Hugh Jackman in support of the Apology, apologizing for past wrongdoings from the government towards Indigenous people.

Term Two, was a busy Term for our Indigenous Program with the important events of Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week. Students from Year 7-12 attended the Annual Sorry Day Excursion on May 26 in Perth at Wellington Square. Students learnt about Sorry Day and participated in a number of activities, including traditional bush tucker, sand murals, traditional dancing and specific schools had certain booths set up that all students could participate in to learn more about the Indigenous culture and practices.

For Reconciliation Week this year we celebrated by hosting a BBQ at the College with bush tucker.

A display on Indigenous culture was also set up so students could learn information regarding the Nyungar Seasons, Reconciliation, Nyungar culture, and Artefacts.

The College was also very fortunate to have exAFL players Gerald Ugle and Leroy Jetta present an incursion on the importance of mental health and goal setting to our Football and Netball Academy students.

2017 YEARBOOK

Term Three was another exciting term, with the celebration of NAIDOC Week in Week 2 with a full week of exciting events around the College to celebrate the NAIDOC Week theme “Our Languages Matter.� Towards the end of Term Three, we also went on an excursion to the Newman Sienna Centre to attend the Just Leadership Conference.

A selection of Year 9, 10 and 11 students attended the Conference, to learn about the theme of Reconciliation. It was an opportunity for students from various schools to come together to deepen their understanding. They were provided with leadership formation and ideas to bring back to our whole school community, to encourage our school community to work together towards Reconciliation.

In Term Four, students were lucky enough to participate in designing and painting a canvas on the Aboriginal history of the school, which will be displayed in the school. Students were also given the opportunity to attend a Mental Health Day with our Director of Wellbeing Services, Mrs Fiona McAuliffe.

At this excursion, students learnt about goal setting, listened to guest speakers share their story and participated in a smoking ceremony to cleanse, and rock painting to express themselves. We then celebrated and wrapped up the year by having a family get together and meeting our new Year 7 students for 2018.

WARMUN IMMERSION

In August, seven Year 11 students and three staff members embarked on the journey of a lifetime to Ngalangangpum School, Warmun. Whilst immersing ourselves in the community, we were educated by the locals about their Kija culture and lifestyles. We were privileged to experience the sacred connection between the Kija people and their land through our participation in a smoking ceremony and water blessing, to invite good spirits to keep us safe and stop our bad spirits from damaging the area. The week was spent with the kids of Ngalangangpum school, assisting both them and their teachers in their learning. We not only helped in the classrooms, but at the school café as well.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT We cooked breakfast for the students and ran a mini Sports Carnival while we were there for National Aboriginal Children’s Day. Student Olivia Faliti commented, “before Immersion I didn’t realise how different the culture was up in Warmun. Everyone has been so loving and welcoming of us. Learning about Warmun and the Kija people has been a big eye opener and an absolutely amazing experience. I am extremely grateful to the community of Warmun for welcoming us with open arms. All of us have made friendships and memories that we will cherish forever.”

Most students would have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from family issues, or the floods that devastated the community in 2011. The school accommodated for these issues and incorporated calming techniques within classes. School staff have forever earned our admiration and respect for the work that they do to make the kids’ lives better.

Some of the highlights of our stay were the bus run to pick up students each day, learning about the local area and history from Sister Julienne and getting to know the kids and hanging out with them at morning and afternoon breaks and sometimes after school.

Mass was a unique experience with Mass celebrated in a circle, with a mix of English, Kija and clapping sticks. The interesting moment of Mass came towards the end with the arrival of ‘the roaming bullock.’ We spent afternoons exploring with some of the local kids and enjoying the amazing colours in the environment.

Some of the issues included long forgotten massacres due to the pastoralists, the displacement from their land and more recently, the devastation caused by floods in 2011. The children have very little and are often faced with hardships, but the entire community was so happy with what they had; it was a very inspiring thing to see.

The most eye-opening aspect of our trip was the different lifestyles that the children lead compared to us students here in Perth. Children would come to school to have breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea provided by the school, shower in the morning, clean their teeth, wash their clothes, and sleep at the school. Their behaviour at school would often reflect their home life.

During the cross cultural talk, we heard about the difficulties the community has gone through.

Here are a few thoughts from the students: “The authentic cross cultural immersion has given me a deeper understanding of the spiritual and cultural aspects of Indigenous Australians.” – Nicholas Bontempo. “There are so many times during the week where I’d catch myself staring into the endless horizon.

All the High School Boys in my class are exactly the same as when I hang out with my mates at home, same conversations and jokes!” – Riley Millar.

YEAR 11 JAPAN ARTS TOUR

During the July school holidays, 15 Arts students from 11 ATAR Design, Media, Visual Arts, and Drama embarked on their annual Arts Cultural Trip to Japan. The students, accompanied by Mr Gherardi, Miss Ng and Mr Di Gregorio, visited Tokyo, Kyoto and Japan for ten days. While we were there, we were treated to a smorgasbord of cultural delights of Japan. We had plenty of Ramen, Sashimi, and some of us were even game enough and tried eel. In Tokyo, we stayed in Ikebukuro, a busy City Centre, and also known to be Tokyo’s busiest train station. More than 2.7 million people pass through it everyday.

ARTISTIC DIVERSITY The students were able to navigate their way around Tokyo whilst picking up various Japanese words.

During the trip, we caught the Shinkansen, the bullet train to Kyoto and Osaka.

For the extra fun part, we visited Studio Ghibli Animation Museum, Universal Studios - Harry Potter World was definitely up there, Disney Sea, and also lots of shopping!

At its fastest speed, the Shinkansen goes at 320km/ hr. One of the most amazing experiences was being taken into the old and traditional sights and then being transported into the new. From the traditional, in the old streets of Gion in Kyoto, to the bustling busiest street of Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo.

The students were also given an insight into the most technologically advanced country in the world.

We were exposed to robots (Pepper) in place of an information desk person, and just innovative video game arcades. Sometimes we felt like we were walking through the set of a futuristic Science Fiction film.

From the quiet and serene tranquillity of the bamboo grove in Kyoto, to being sandwiched in Harajuku in Tokyo. We were also taken to extreme heights of 634 metres at the Tokyo Skytree. Japan truly delivered a sense of extreme proportions.

We visited the Robot Restaurant, and Monster Café and we were introduced to a unique, indescribable Pop Culture cross JPop, cross Power Rangers experience, all jam packed in one show.

Some of the tour highlights included visiting the Edo Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, Osaka Castle, Temples and Shrine.

The students were super excited to have the Principal, Mr Di Gregorio with us on this trip. It is not very often we get to boast about having the chance to “hang out” and to just “chill” with the Principal, and these students got to do just that!

We were treated to the picturesque views of Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto. These are all heritage sites and it was surreal just being there. A visit to the Cat Café with Mr Gherardi was exciting for some!

It was summertime, which made it a little hot and humid, but we got through it in the end! We enjoyed being immersed in the culture and taking in all the amazing sights that Japan had to offer.

YEAR 9 CANBERRA TOUR

The first week of the July holidays was a memorable one for a group of Year 9 students from Emmanuel and John Paul Colleges as we partook in the 2017 Canberra trip. The excitement that everyone felt from the very first moment at the airport, as we waved goodbye to our parents and got ready for a week-long adventure to the other side of the country was almost tangible. We met the JPC kids, unknowing of the friendships that were destined to be formed. We got on our flight and in three short hours we landed in Sydney. We walked around and saw the scenery and some famous landmarks, all of which can be summarised with just one word; beautiful.

POLITICAL AWARENESS We got on a bus to Canberra, with all of us desperately needing sleep. We arrived at the accommodation and it did not disappoint – hot showers, comfortable beds and good food.

The following days were jam-packed with activities, including; a visit to Parliament House, Questacon, the AIS, the National Museum, Government House and the Australian War Memorial.

Throughout each of these activities, we were able to learn a great deal about the history of our nation and more about its Capital, while somehow still being really enjoyable. There is so much that I won’t be able mention because I don’t have enough pages to do so, but the snow is something that had to make the cut.

Three hours of tobogganing, making snow angels, building snowmen, just rolling around, and falling; whether it was intentional or otherwise was an incredible amount of fun and one of the highlights of the trip.

We were worried that there wouldn’t be any snow as the falls hadn’t been great but 8cms fell over the two nights before we went and it snowed for most of the day we were there. It was such a great experience.

The JPC kids were a huge part of what made this tour so enjoyable. It was evident to everyone the friendships that had been forged as we said our goodbyes, not quite ready to go home.

YEAR 8 FOOTBALL ACADEMY TOUR

2017 was the fourth occasion that we conducted a Tour of Melbourne for our Year 8 Football Academy class. This trip has proven to be one of the best experiences for our students, as they have had the opportunity to travel around Melbourne and play football games against quality Victorian opposition. The students were also able to experience the Melbourne lifestyle, as we tried very hard to immerse ourselves in the Victorian culture. We were lucky enough to stay near the Docklands and all students had a public transport card, as we used the buses, trams and trains to move around Melbourne for the week that we were away.

HOME OF FOOTBALL As well as all of the football activities, the boys were lucky enough to take part in numerous other activities, including watching a movie at the Crown Complex, Tenpin Bowling, numerous shopping activities and Go Karting, where the top speed was 60km/h. Needless to say, that this was the most popular activity amongst the boys.

Our students quickly adjusted to the conditions and gave a great account of themselves in all three games.

The day after we landed, was a sunny day, where we took a short stroll from our hotel to Etihad Stadium, to cheer on the West Coast Eagles in an excellent game against the Western Bulldogs.

At the Essendon clubrooms, based out at Tullamarine, the students were taken on a tour through the inner sanctum and were able to see all parts of the “Hangar.” While at Collingwood, we were given a tour around their state of the art facilities.

The Eagles were run out winners in a tight game, by just seven points. Throughout the game, the boys had to watch a player and take the stats on this player and then write a report. The next day, we jumped on a train and headed out to the MCG to watch Hawthorn v Collingwood. It was another excellent game as Hawthorn took the win, much to the delight of the majority of our boys.

Our three games were played back to back, and were against three very competitive teams in St Joseph’s College, John Paul College and St Kevin’s College.

The experience gained by our students was invaluable as they were exposed to a different style of football due to the smaller sizes of the Melbourne grounds.

Our boys also had the good fortune of visiting Essendon Football Club and Collingwood Football Club’s training facilities and they were both invaluable experiences for our students.

At the end of the tour they were lucky enough to hold and get a photo with an AFL Premiership Cup. The students were a credit to our school and should be proud of their efforts, on and off the football field.

These events were only a few opportunities the students were able to experience. They have improved markedly over the year and I look forward to their continual development next year.

A huge thank you to Mr Steve Pendleton, Mr Jarrod Parry and Mr Jordan Tirli for their assistance in organising the trip and assistance in Melbourne.

NETBALL ACADEMY TOUR

Emmanuel Catholic College took four teams to the Gold Coast to participate in the International World Sports Netball Carnival. The four teams consisted of a Year 8 A, Year 8 B, Year 10 and a Year 12 team. In the lead up to the Tour all teams put in countless hours of training and team bonding in preparation for it. These trainings included specialist coaching sessions from the Coastal Sharks Netball Club who taught the girls advanced set plays encompassing elite game play and strategies.

In addition to the skill sessions, the girls participated in team bonding activities to ensure team cohesion in the Gold Coast Netball competition.

DAY 1 Our girls displayed good sportsmanship, team work and a high level of skills. It was good to see Emmanuel take out a range of wins across all three age groups and represent the College to a high standard.

DAY 2 The day started with the girls doing a stretching and yoga session. Following the yoga, the girls had time to perfect their dance in which they were going to be performing in front of a thousand athletes. After lunch we headed to the courts to commence the second day of games. The girls were faced with tough competition but they didn’t drop their heads. They showed promising talent on the court and came away with a few wins in our last day of grading.

The Year 10 team missed out on finals by one point.

The Senior Girls finished 3rd in their division and got through to the finals. With the support from all the Aces girls and other teams that we had bonded with along the week, the girls went out firing into their final. With scores tied at full time, we went into overtime to decide a winner. In a skilful and tight battle the girls went down by one point.

The girls spent two days together experiencing the thrills and rides of DreamWorld, MovieWorld and enjoying each others company.

DAY 3

REST DAYS

The girls enjoyed a sleep-in followed by a rejuvenating beach walk and yoga session which was appreciated by all. After a healthy lunch the girls headed to the courts for their first day of competition. The Senior Team won the majority of their games on the grading days and as a result were placed in the top division for the competitive game days. We were pleased to see numerous wins throughout the day from all teams.

The girls enjoyed not only the rides, but the stalls, characters and the Gold Coast sun. The Sportsmanship dinner followed one of the days where the girls got to perform a dance in front of all competitors.

DAY 4 With both the Senior girls and Year 10 girls in contention for finals there was nerves and excitement amongst the group. The Year 8 teams finished their Carnival strongly with wins on the last day.

ENVIRO CLUB

Enviro Club this year had an increase in the number of regular students. Students from Emmanuel, Mater Christi and Hammond Park Catholic Primary Schools once again worked together to learn about growing food and caring for the environment. Through peer learning the Emmanuel students buddied up with younger students to complete a range of tasks, including feeding the worms in our worm farms with the scraps from our afternoon tea. We spent a lot of time working on the worms this year and harvesting the castings that go into the vegetable garden to improve the soil. We also made our own mini worm farms to take home and look after.

HANDS ON APPROACH We headed out to Bunnings to create our own herb pots and learn about the different things they do to look after the environment. The box crusher was a highlight of this tour. Next we went to the Regional Resource Recovery Centre for a tour to see where all our waste goes when we put it in the bins at home.

We mulch, weed and plant around the College, including in our very own edible vegetable garden.

One of our favourite activities was completing clean ups around the College, as it was often a competition to see how much litter each of the teams could collect.

One of the best quotes of the year came from a student at Mater Christi as he came across a large amount of litter in the Year 12 area – “I will need to have a word to these Year 12’s when I get here. This is just too dirty. Don’t they know litter is bad?”

This year we have also had people visit us to talk to various students about their area of expertise. The Year 7 and 8 boys, along with Mrs Janet Durrant, had a session with an expert in Aquaponics to learn how to best look after the Aquaponics system we have in the College.

The fish and plants are grown in an integrated system, creating a symbiotic relationship between the two. The plants use these nutrients as their main nutrient supply. The students spent time cleaning, feeding and looking after the fish.

PARTNERSHIPS & OUR COMMUNITY Our partnership with community groups continues to grow. We have an excellent relationship with the Cockburn City Council that provided us with another grant to help pay for some of the incursions and excursions.

Cockburn City Council allowed the College to plant over 1000 new seedlings in the local community through Enviro Club, Bush Rangers and Staff Service Days. We are very appreciative of the great work that the Cockburn City Council has done in supporting our Enviro Programs.

I would like to thank all the staff that have helped over the year, from driving buses to helping out on our various and challenging sessions. In particular I would like to thank Mrs Janet Durrant who was a regular at Enviro Club.

I have had so many parents of the Primary School students comment on what a great opportunity and experience this is for their students to get out in the environment with the older students. I thank them for their ongoing support of our program as well.

I look forward to another exciting and successful year at Enviro Club in 2018!

EMMANUEL ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP SQUAD

We started this year with a renaming and restructuring of our main Student Leadership Group, the Litter Task Force. As the group deals with so much more than litter now it was renamed the Emmanuel Environmental Leadership Squad or EELS for short. The Environmental Captain led the group of students representing Years 7 to 12. The group met every fortnight to discuss different projects to help reduce the amount of waste the College sends to landfill as well as ways to educate the community about the importance of waste management for the future protection of our environment.

EEL PROJECTS

ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOLADES

•

Message in a Plastic Bottle Campaign – the students tracked the number of plastic water bottles sold at the canteen before and during our campaign on why plastic water bottles are bad for the environment

•

Coffee Cup Discount and Giveaways – Encouraged students to bring their own coffee cup to the ECCpresso to get a fifty cent discount and reduce the number of coffee cups that go to landfill. We gave away over one hundred coffee cups during the year

This group was involved in the Perth Switched on School Summit hosted at the Cockburn Youth Centre.

This was coming off the back of Teal Cuff (Year 10) receiving a scholarship to attend the National Summit in Melbourne.

•

Cash for Cans – on fundraising and House days the EELS ran a cash for cans and other recyclable goods where students could exchange them for lollies

•

Co-Mingled recycling bins – the largest project undertaken by the EELS with help from a grant from the Waste Authority. New recycling bins have been purchased to allow students and staff to recycle as they do at home with the yellow topped bins. We are hoping the new recycling bins will half the amount of waste we send to landfill

Teal was able to attend the three day national event which included lectures on methods of action, major environmental issues in Australia and a march through Melbourne CBD. I would like to acknowledge the work of our outgoing Environmental Captain – Sage Cuff. She has done a great job in leading the EELS and managing the changes that have occurred this year. On behalf of all the EELS we wish her the best in her future endeavours.

PUBLIC DEBATING & ROSTRUM

The ROSTRUM Voice of Youth Competition is a prestigious competition that is open to students across Australia from Year 7 to 12. It has been an annual event since 1975 and contributes to the personal growth of Australian youth. Students compete in knock out heats and semi-finals with the Grand Final event being held in a different Capital City across Australia each year. It is a rigorous competition which demands a good deal of commitment and perseverance. There are two divisions; Junior, Year 7-9, and Senior, Year 10-12. We had three Year 7 students competing this year, and many of the other competitors were in Year 8 and 9 and had spoken in the competition before.

VOICE OF YOUTH We were very proud of their efforts and I am confident they will be a force to be reckoned with as they gain more experience in the years to come. Well done to Samuel Galipo, Nikita King and April Hulten.

EMMANUEL DEBATING TEAM Following the success of our public speaking competition, a number of the students – Tristan Smith and Sam Galipo wanted to continue developing their skills. Driven by their enthusiasm we entered a team consisting of these two boys and Jared Day, in the novice debating competition with AHISA. They have a series of four debates and they performed admirably.

They argued on a number of issues including the banning of image altering software in fashion magazines, that parents should have access to their children’s social media account and that we should not have quotas for Indigenous MPs in Parliament.

All very topical and complex debates, but they handled themselves brilliantly.

We called upon Lily Robinson and Set Zareie to support us when Sam was needed for his Soccer finals.

I know this experience has sparked enthusiasm for the more competitive debating competition with WADL (WA Debating League) in 2018, and we are all very excited about showing the skills they are all learning in this forum.

Debating is an amazing skill which develops both the academic and social aspects of a young person.

It really is a gift to watch students grow in confidence, to be able to see them stand and deliver a well informed argument in front of an audience, and to see them develop different perspectives and ways of viewing many important issues in our society.

SCIENCE CLUB

Science Club is a place where we experiment, experience and learn. It is the place for students who are interested in science to learn about all scopes of science from Medicine to Chemistry to Physics to the Environment. We discuss how to use different applications in the real world and have the freedom to do things that wouldn’t normally be done in normal science class. Science club has improved students’ personal knowledge of general science topics, more importantly, it allows students to create new friendships and learn how to work cooperatively. In Science Club, we teach students science is a way of thinking, we encourage students to always question and always wonder.

EXPERIMENTAL INQUIRY This creates a curiosity for science and a motivation to All LEGO products are based on this underlying discover further. This year we have worked through a philosophy of learning and development through play. The main goal of Mindstorm is to encourage range of topics and activities, such as: creativity, innovation and develop an understanding SCIENCE SUBJECTS of programming through play. Science Club is a new initiative at Emmanuel, however that has not stopped Elephant toothpaste • a multitude of students from eagerly joining the club.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

2017 was a fun and exciting year for Religious Education. At the beginning of the year we welcomed the new Year 7’s. For some this was their first opportunity at studying the subject which sparked an interest in Religious Education. They began the year full of questions, creating its own challenges.

They have come a long way from religion basics to social justice and the study of conscience. Year 8 focused on what the sense of belonging to the Catholic community gives us. Creation was a major component of this course where the students learnt they are created in the image and likeness of God, an important belief encompassing our school values and our need to respect each other.

RELIGIOUS DISCOVERY They spent much of the year learning about the origins of the faith, focusing a lot on the Old Testament, with the creation stories and the creation of the Ten Commandments.

The Year 9 Course explored spirituality and emotions. Students had the opportunity to reflect on their own human heart questions that they may experience throughout their time at Emmanuel. This course involved a lot of discussion and reflection on situations that affect a student’s day-to-day life.

Students in Years 11 and 12 examined the relationship between religion and life. They looked in detail at some historical events, such as the Industrial Revolution and Nazi Germany, and then learnt the Catholic response.

Students also experienced different Church teachings, beliefs and how they have developed over time.

The students found this enjoyable and rewarding, and prepared them greatly for upper school. They began to experience the assessment types involved in upper school, with essay writing and source analysis becoming a big part of the experience.

These courses focus on the interplay between religion and society. The course is focused around this interaction. The students have developed their analytical skills, focusing on sources and making judgements about historical relationship between religion and life.

The Year 10 students began the year learning about vocation, with a focus on discovering their own personal vocation. The students enjoyed examining conscience and different moral and ethical situations.

They also were able to explore the historical side of the Catholic Church, and how it was able to spread into a global religion.

In all year groups, we looked at a range of social justice issues, from bullying and homelessness in Year 7, to forced marriage and consumerism in Years 11 and 12. The students not only learnt about the presence of these issues in society, but how the Catholic Church responds to these issues through its teachings and various social justice organisations.

The Year 10 students were engaged in the changes and development of the Church to where it stands today. This is truly a course that develops their understanding of the Church’s beliefs and the origin of these beliefs. The students began to understand the conflicts between society and religious views, creating much debate and engaging discussion.

I would like to thank all the Religious Education staff for all their work over the year. They have spent many hours working on making religion engaging for the students and have created tasks that challenge and support all students.

ENGLISH

The English Club scored some wonderful goals, took some brilliant marks and did strong tackling in 2017. The team opened strongly with solid results in the WACE results in 2016. This went from strength to strength under the guidance of dedicated coaches on board. We started well with longterm Captain, Ms Gratton, heading the team and our experienced regular coaches: Miss Morris, Ms Lagator and the effervescent Miss Jermy. The team welcomed the seasoned players, including Dr Field, Miss Camp and Mr Gaynor, developing their game-plan well throughout the year. We lost Mr Ryan to Team HaSS, he played a number of games for us and took a Year 11 ATAR team under his wing.

ENGLISH INITIATIVES We showed great strength in developing the newer players - Miss Di Giacomo and Mr Dickson.

Although Mr Dickson did come from an experienced background at other clubs, he was taken into the fold and given great direction in ways of playing in the English Club, while Miss Di Giacomo created great new game-play initiatives.

It goes without saying how important our reserves were - Miss Ng and Mrs Howard. They are our regular reserves, moving over from Team Arts to support us almost every year they offer great perspectives on the bigger game, and bring a wealth of experience.

The usual games were played, the Year 12 ATAR trip to Curtin University, where our team and our protĂŠgĂŠs learned skills to help with their debut at the WACE exams. We also immersed our Year 11 ATAR students in the University of Notre Dame games, which helped them gain some game-plays for their exams.

We also had our yearly visit from leading Australian award-winning author Matt Ottley, who has been visiting our Year 10 Extension class for the last five years, and only has wonderful things to say about his relationship with Emmanuel and the students here.

The results from our NAPLAN matches were solid, showing winning opportunities ahead for the Year 7 and 9 teams. We entered a team in our Inaugural Education Perfect Competition for English Language and Literacy, where our teams reached great heights, coming in 27th out of 745 schools in Australia, 7th of 122 schools in WA. 104

It was a wonderful initiative driven by Ms Lagator, who is always looking for opportunities to expose our teams to new experiences. This will, no doubt, add to their ability to take on the WACE exams.

We celebrated Book Week in Week Six, with some lovely creative costumes. We served 300 sausages and buns, which is the highest number of participants we have had to date.

The rest of the season is not slowing down. Early in Term Four, we will see an incursion, by Poetry in Action, for our Year 7 and 8 teams.

It was a great season all round for the Emmanuel English Club, including both teachers and students, and we look forward to even stronger participation in these events and more, in 2018.

A big thanks to everyone - students and teachers who were involved in making the 2017 season such a great success.

MATHEMATICS

The academic focus for Mathematics staff in 2017 has been differentiation in the classroom. It celebrates the fact that we often use slightly different understandings at different stages of our personal learning journey. Mathematics staff have employed various strategies in the classroom to enhance students’ learning. This past year, we have looked at many ways to develop understanding of mathematical concepts for our students through the use of mathematical investigation. The approach encourages students to use their knowledge of mathematical relationships to find solutions to daily problems, and enables students to explore connections and relationships in everyday life.

CALCULATED SUCCESS After all, Mathematics is an essential skill that is used by us all, each and every day.

Our major competition this year was the Australian Mathematics Trust Competition, which took place in July. A total of sixty-four students from Years 7 to 9 took part and acquitted themselves very well.

The EST is the equivalent of an exam for those students studying general Mathematics course and is usually completed within the first few weeks of Term Two.

Our students rose to the challenge, used the study materials supplied and completed the EST to a high standard. Well done!

Congratulations to Tristan Smith and Shaun Tan from Year 7, Joel Ting from Year 8, Delina Joseph and Faye Hadfield from Year 9 who all earned themselves Certificates of Distinction. 48 students received Certificates of Merit and the remainder received either Certificates of Participation or Certificates of Proficiency. Well done all, it’s wonderful that you have achieved so well. The competition was presented online and students completed the questions using their devices as well as doing their working out by hand on paper. After the competition, everyone enjoyed pizza for lunch to refresh their minds and bodies.

The Mathematics staff at Emmanuel have worked hard during the year preparing interesting and challenging mathematics for the younger students.

A lot of work has gone into developing work booklets to supplement our texts and the students found the materials great value in continuing the development of skills.

2017 has been the first year of full implementation of Australian Curriculum. All Year 12 students have applied themselves well to their study and we are proud of all you have achieved. Our Senior School ATAR students variously studied Specialist Mathematics, Mathematics Methods and Mathematics Applications. The largest group of Senior Students study Essential Mathematics, which is a general Mathematics course covering the basics of mathematical decisions that we all make daily. This year required an external task, the EST completed by Year 12 Essential Mathematics students in Western Australia.

Thank you to our hard-working and passionate members of the Mathematics Department, for all everything you do to improve the mathematics skills of our students: Dr Francis Maloba, Mr Alvyn Moody, Mr Vernon Marillier, Mr Steve Scally, Miss KerryJayne Reynolds, Mr Steve Pendleton, Mr Joni Wijaya, Mr Troy Foote, Mrs Vicki Price, Mr Peter Sackett, Mr Ian Dalton, Mrs Nicole Willey and Miss Taylah Bowe.

SCIENCE

“Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result” – Oscar Wilde. 2017 has been an extremely busy and productive year in the Emmanuel Science Department. The emphasis on hands on learning and active participation has seen our students gain a deeper understanding of the world around them and hopefully a lifelong love of science. Our laboratory refurbishment program continued this year with two more laboratories completed ready for the beginning of the school year. These rooms were designed around the idea of flexibility in learning spaces and the students who were lucky enough to have classes in them used them to their full potential.

SUCCESS IS A SCIENCE

STEM

We look forward to further refurbishments in the coming years. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful Science teachers for their dedication and passion in their pursuit for excellence in their teaching. Our students have achieved great success this year and they are a credit to your teaching.

2017 saw the introduction of STEM based tasks and projects in every year group. At Emmanuel STEM has been designed on the idea of educating students in the four disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through the use of hands on creative projects. These programs asked the students to create, design and build a solution to a problem.

To the students we thank you for your hard work throughout the year. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you.

Students enjoyed building rollercoasters, marble runs, Pinball machines, 3D holograms and zoo enclosures. Many students also had the opportunity to learn coding skills through the use of the Sphero robots. We look forward to building on these exciting projects next year and further developing our STEM SCIENCE WEEK Science week 2017 aimed to provide an opportunity focus. for our students to acknowledge the contributions of COMPETITIONS & EXCURSIONS Australian scientists to the world of knowledge whilst Excursions included the Perth Zoo, Bayliss Youth also encouraging them to become fascinated by the Lecture and Murdoch University. We increased world in which they live. This year Science Week our participation in a wide range of competitions occurred in Week 5 Term 3 and the theme focused this year. Building on from the Australian National on “Future Earth” and highlighted the sustainability Chemistry Quiz in previous years, we also entered issues that are unique to Australia. the Big Science Competition, Synergy Solar Car Challenge, Science and Engineering Competition and Students competed in online quizzes during Form the Australian Brain Bee Challenge. time and spent class time planning and building different structures such as towers and bridges. These competitions aimed to test our students critical Students across many year levels participated in the thinking and problem-solving skills and their science marshmallow tower challenge which asked students knowledge. Our students performed exceptionally to build the tallest tower possible using only a certain well in all of these competitions and we look forward amount of materials. The tallest tower built stood to building on these next year. an amazing 75cm – no easy feat when only using spaghetti, tape, string and one marshmallow.

HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES

2017 was another big year for the Humanities and Social Sciences department with lots of excursions, incursions, new classes and different opportunities for staff and students to participate in the world around us. This year we saw our new Certificate II in Conservation and Land Management take off with a number of Year 11 students choosing to continue on with their Bush Ranger courses. Students worked in the industry by heading up to the John Forrest National Park to conduct revegetation projects and pathway constructions. This class has seen Emmanuel and John Tonkin Secondary College join forces and develop a great partnership to share resources in this very practical class.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING Excursions included the annual Year 7 Perth Hills Visit, Year 9 Canberra Trip, Year 11 and 12 Geography field work and Year 11 and 12 Business ATAR students visiting businesses around Perth including CSBP, Ikea and Austal Ships. These were coupled with incursions from GreenGurus, business entrepreneurs and local politicians.

The students worked hard and received great feedback for a team with less experience than last year’s teams. Students had the opportunity to participate in the National Geography Competition and the Australian History Competition.

Giving the students exposure to different experiences and an insight into possible careers in the future has been a focus of the incursions and excursions this year. Once again, the HaSS Department ran the annual ANZAC Day service.

• Geordie Nilan – Distinction Year 12 Level

Mr Ryan and the Year Nine students had the hard task of organising a service for the first day back in Term Two. They did an outstanding job with the liturgy focusing on Indigenous Service throughout the major conflicts. Our guest speaker was the President of the Cockburn Returned Soldiers League, Mr Arthur Stanton who has been attending our services with his wife Nola, for many years.

• Aleksa Markovic – High Distinction Year 9/10 Level

He spoke of the service Indigenous Australians have provided for our nation and how they were not always shown the respect and gratitude they deserved.

The Year 9’s finished off their Term of working on World War One by creating dioramas and videos to illustrate the difficult conditions faced by Australians on ANZAC Cove and in Europe during the Great War. Emmanuel competed in the Mock Trials competition with one team this year, mentored by Mr Ryan and Mr Rathmann.

BUSH RANGERS

Once again the Bush Rangers have continued with a very busy Program providing extensive opportunity in nature conservation, flora and fauna education. This year the Program added the Certificate II in Conservation and Land Management. This course is offered to students in Years 11 and 12 who have a desire to follow a pathway towards a qualification in Parks and Land Management, Conservation, Earthworks and Land Development, Parks and Wildlife or Natural Area Management or a mix of these. The Year 11 students have been on two industry based Camps this Year at John Forrest National Park and at North Coogee beach.

BUSH RANGERS ROCK! Within the limits of safety, during the Bush Ranger camps we ask the students to be self-directed; cooking, cleaning and organising themselves at activities, to provide a medium for students to develop resilience and personal management.

The community work at Harmony Lake has continued with the Year 10 Bush Rangers providing maintenance, planting and monitoring the Lake’s health. The City of Perth has commended the College’s community collaboration as an example for other schools to follow.

Bush Ranger students assisted the City of Cockburn again, helping with the planting of approximately 2000 trees at Bibra Lake, Yangebup Lake, Harmony Lake, Success Reserve and South Coogee. The students were also keen participants of the Keep Australia Beautiful program.

The Students cleaned up at our allocated areas of South Coogee and Woodmans Point beaches. They have also been helping the Rottnest Island Authority with beach clean-up at various locations each December.

There were many incursions during the year; from leadership to bees, birds of prey, reptiles, first aid, Western Shield, the local veterinarian, Pet Care, Native Ark and RSPCA, to name just a few. The Bush Ranger students have also assisted within the College gardens.

HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION

In the Health & Physical Education Department, our ultimate goal is to teach and motivate our students to enjoy life, make good decisions and lead an active lifestyle. Throughout the year, our students participated in a general Health Education program. The course was specifically designed to cater to the needs of each age group, while empowering them to make the best choices regarding their health. In Year 7 Health, the topics concentrated on helping our young students to make the transition into High School and the increased demands and the general challenges it brings. We spent Term Two exploring ways in which we can all live healthier lifestyles.

HEALTH EDUCATION The second half of the year was spent gaining a better understanding of the changes in the transition from childhood into adolescence; not only physically but socially and emotionally.

The Year 8 Health Program focused upon important topics to better prepare our students to deal with issues and challenges that they may face in the future. Such topics include Relationships, Sexuality, the Impact of Bullying, Drugs and Alcohol and Mental Health. The final term was dedicated to celebrating and educating our students of the importance and benefit of our culturally diverse community.

The Year 9 Program continued the important work of giving the students strategies to make smart, educated decisions about their health and the health of their loved ones.

The Year 10 Program provided our students with an opportunity to gain their Learners Permit and to assist in their driver’s license through the completion of the driver education program “Keys for Life.” We looked at how the impact of poor lifestyle choices when we are young can have a negative impact on our future, through the use of topics regarding Sexual Health and Drugs.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff that have been involved in teaching our students.

Your hard work is appreciated and hopefully you can continue to assist in Health Education.

2017 YEARBOOK

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 2017 was similar to the previous years in regards to PE. All students from Year 7 through to Year 10 completed a general Physical Education Program, sports taught were chosen to cater for the age of the students and exposing them to a variety of sports.

In Year 7, the Sports of Athletics and Cross Country were introduced to our Year 7’s. There is a range of other sports that we teach in Year 7 to assist our students about strategy and working in a team. Our Year 8 Program continues to develop the skills from Year 7 covering various sports, of Netball, Soccer, Lacrosse and Cricket. The group focused on the importance of communication, team work, defensive and offensive strategies. The introduction of Lacrosse gave the students the opportunity of a new sport.

The Year 9 Program saw the inclusion of Gaelic Football and Hockey, as these sports have key similarities to Football and Floor Ball taught in Year 7 and 8.

The Year 10 Physical Education Program gave students the opportunity to consolidate all the sports they have covered in Years 7, 8 and 9 and take on more responsibility. Student led activities and games with Athletics, Soccer and European Handball.

A huge thank you to all staff involved in teaching Physical Education. There is a mountain of work behind the scenes to create the best possible programs for our students.

SPORT & OUTDOOR RECREATION

Sport and Outdoor Recreation is an elective that runs from Year 8 until Year 12. In Years 10, 11 and 12 the students work towards achieving a Certificate II in Sport & Recreation. These camps and excursions are used to take our students out of their comfort zone, while travelling to the South West of WA, and to put into action the skills that they have learnt in the classroom. This year, the Year 9 course is only a semester long, however the students can choose to complete it twice and participate in two camps. These camps are down in Dwellingup where they participate in activities such as abseiling, mountain biking, canoeing and raft building.

DISCOVERING THE OUTDOORS Our Year 9 students base themselves at Camp Kelly (Trinity College’s facilities) which is a dorm based accommodation, only a few kilometres out of the town of Dwellingup.

The Year 11 students were very lucky to experience good weather, which allowed them to take part in snorkelling at the various bays around Rottnest Island.

Our Year 10 classes have the opportunity to complete a Certificate I in Sport and Recreation, while getting the task of climbing the highest peak in the south West, Bluff Knoll. The group spent time getting their hiking fitness up and during the 3-day camp in the Stirling ranges not only climbed to the top of Bluff Knoll, but followed it up in the afternoon by climbing to the Castle Rock look out in the Porongurups.

The Year 12 Sport and Recreation class completed a different hiking challenge from previous years.

Enjoying the amazing scenery and reflecting on the difficult challenge they had just accomplished, our Year 10 students were lucky enough to camp at the Stirling Range Retreat, which is only a few kilometres from the base of Bluff Knoll.

The students were in charge of their meals whilst on camp and we must say, there were some delightful meals that were cooked up for dinner.

The Year 11 Sport & Recreation class had fine weather on Rottnest Island for the 3-day camp, and tested their snorkelling skills and learnt their limits at the iconic “Basin” and then again at Salmon Bay and Little Parakeet Bay. All of the students had the opportunity to cover a few units of their course, including Snorkelling, Mountain Biking and Maintaining an Overnight Stay (camping).

They ventured down to Margaret River and completed three separate day walks along the Cape to Cape Trail. The Cape to Cape trail is a hiking trail between the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse near Augusta.

It spans 135km, along the coastline in the South West of Western Australia. The students loved the views and they were lucky enough to see whales breaching as we walked along the hiking trail.

I would love to take this opportunity to thank all the staff that were involved with all of these camps throughout 2017. The students also need to be commended for their behaviour and we all hope you that they have created great memories of what proved to be a fantastic year in Sport and Outdoor Recreation.

WOODWORK

It was another really busy year in our Woodwork rooms, with countless projects designed, constructed and taken home. Our Woodwork subjects across each year level give plenty of scope for our students to be creative and produce high quality pieces, whether the aim is for aesthetics, functionality or both.

All students that participate in Woodwork develop an appreciation for the craft and an awareness of the importance of sustainability when working with natural products. Students are taught hand-skills to shape and manipulate various species of timbers and apply finishes that enhance their natural beauty, and are skills that will remain with our students long after they leave the College.

CREATIVE CARPENTRY Our Year 9 classes have produced some fantastic Intarsia pieces. Intarsia is a woodworking technique that uses varied shapes, sizes, and species of wood fitted together to create a mosaic-like picture with an illusion of depth.

The infinity table requires students to develop other skills such as low voltage electronics, glass cutting and application of foil tinting. The effect is mesmerising – when an observer looks into the glass table top the lights from the LED’s appear to recede into infinity, creating the illusion of great depth.

Intarsia takes both patience and skill, and we have been delighted with the quality of work produced this year.

It was a busy year also for our Year 11 students who are completing the Certificate II in Timber Manufactured Products. Students are developing industry-standard skills that will make them highly employable across a range of vocations. A field trip to a working sawmill and timber museum in Jarrahdale gave the students an appreciation of the history of the timber industry in Western Australia and current best practices employed to protect it.

We have also lost count of the number of laminated bread boards that have gone home – usually with decorative engraving from our laser-engravers, to enhance and personalise the pieces.

Year 10 students have honed their skills designing and manufacturing roll-top storage boxes, skateboards and infinity tables.

Congratulations and thank you to all students who have been involved and embraced the opportunities this year.

MATERIALS

Materials is a subject that encompasses a range of skills and products, and students are encouraged to take full advantage of this in their unique designs. We are very fortunate to have fantastic industrystandard facilities and equipment for our students to use. From Year 7 onwards, students begin to develop an appreciation for the types of materials that exist, their uses and properties. The hands-on practical components of the course allow students to gradually develop their skills with both hand and power tools – always with safety in mind. The quality of work this year has been outstanding.

Our Year 9 students produced laser-cut acrylic and timber desk clocks that rival the best we’ve seen.

UNIQUE DESIGNS Students are becoming more proficient with their use of CAD/CAM technology and are opting to apply these skills with their designs. Year 10 students have really honed their skills and have completed a range of projects throughout the year. Jewellery, acrylic trophies incorporating LED technology, sand-boards, occasional tables and plasma-cut wall art, to name a few.

Students embrace the design freedom that exists in these classes and as a result produce high quality, unique projects.

Our Year 11 students have embarked on the Certificate II Engineering Pathways course. Our students are enrolled in a number of industrydeveloped competencies designed to give them the skills to enter the workforce in engineering related fields.

2017 YEARBOOK

Students were fortunate to visit local industries earlier in the year to experience best-practise from the experts. With a heavy focus on Occupational Health and Safety, students are working their way through the many skills required such as welding, fabrication and correct use of hand and power tools.

Many of these skills take time to fully develop but we are really pleased with their progress. Their major project this year was the design and construction of a fire-pit. The designs are simply fantastic, with every student taking full advantage of our CAD and CNC plasma technology to create unique designs.

I would like to congratulate every student from Year 7 to Year 12 that participated in the Materials subjects for displaying initiative, creativity and an appreciation for the importance of safety practices.

Mr Brad Nicholas Head of Technologies

CAD/CAM

CAD/CAM – Computer Assisted Drawing, Computer Assisted Machining was introduced across each Year level this year and has been highly successful. Every student embraced the technical design challenges along the way and have created some wonderful work. As a subject CAD/CAM is perfectly poised to enhance students’ digital drawing skills particularly in a manufacturing environment.

Emmanuel students are fortunate to have access to a range of numerically controlled machines for different purposes. Our equipment is the same standard used in industry, which gives students an edge when entering the workforce.

INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION Our laser engraving, vinyl cutting, 3D printing and plasma cutting machines are controlled by drawing software such as AutoCad and CorelDraw. Students have been learning how to digitally draw and control each of the input parameters to enable the machines to correctly cut/print or engrave their designs.

Year 8 students have taken these new digital drawing skills and applied them to several projects including laser-cut acrylic puzzles and timber wall plaques.

Students get very excited when the design and programming is finally sent for machining and it all goes to plan!

Year 9 CAD/CAM students have embarked on some more challenging tasks that not only require the digital and programming skills but also an understanding of the physical properties of the materials they are working with. With students able to select the subject over the whole year we are seeing some very capable students mastering the software which is fantastic.

Year 10 students have taken the course to another level. They have embraced AutoCad and 3D design software such as Fusion 360 to produce some wonderful work.

Year 10 students had complete freedom to design and draw unique projects including 3D printed mobile phone holders and LED desk lamps.

The 3D printed desk lamps incorporated colourchanging LED low voltage electronics so students needed to consider not only those design challenges but also skills such as soldering circuit boards, switches and power supplies.

Congratulations to all CAD/CAM students for a very productive year and we know that many will build on these skills long after they have left the College.

CREATIVE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Creative Digital Technology is a subject offered to our lower school students and aims to equip them with digital skills that will enhance their time at Emmanuel and beyond. Students have access to computer labs that have both generic and specialist cross-platform software. We live in a digital age and Creative Digital Technology allows students to become familiar with and confident using various forms of technology. Our students have been learning Audacity which is an open source digital audio editing and recording software application. They have been overlaying multiple sound bytes to a range of BBC nature videos.

TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION The videos created some hilarious results. Who knew the conversation between two squirrels in the snow could be so funny!

CDT students have also developed skills in using the industry-standard software Photoshop. This software was used to splice different images together to create one seamless image. This required a knowledge of the various features within Photoshop such as layering and masks to create a digital vector image.

The students had great fun with this creating some very unique images, although some were a little bit scary and would ruin an appetite.

Adobe Animate is industry-standard software students had fun with. Students used the authoring and animation software to create animated gifs.

2017 YEARBOOK

It is almost impossible to visit a page online that doesn’t have some sort of end-user interaction or animation, and for our web-developers of the future, these skills are invaluable.

Emmanuel is well-placed to equip our students for the future with regards to technology. With new computers in some labs for 2018, our students will definitely take full advantage of the technical resources we have to offer.

Congratulations to all Creative Digital Technology students for your efforts and hard work this year and the high quality work produced. I look forward to 2018.

Mr Brad Nicholas Head of Technologies

PHOTOGRAPHY

Digital Photography is a skill that none of us can escape. From simple point and click cameras, mobile phones to high-end DSLR cameras there is a lot to learn in a digital environment. Learning the complex mechanics of a DSLR camera combined with Adobe Design software, the students were up to the task and have produced some wonderful works of art. Throughout the year, the photography students have been working hard to produce photos that portray the wonderful and diverse surroundings of our College. Photography is an elective subject that has been made available to the Year 10 cohort this year.

THROUGH THE LENS We have worked on a variety of tasks including advertising, selective focus, tone elimination, photo montage and vignetting. These tasks required us to take photos around the College and edit them in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. They also helped us to develop a number of photo taking and editing skills. We were then able to improve our skills in Photography and Media. During the course, students were encouraged to explore the inner workings of a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera, also known as a DSLR camera, and learnt the meanings of terms like aperture, ISO and white-balance.

When we were completing our advertising task, we were very fortunate to be able to use the studio kit in which we learnt how to set up and take down the studio lights. This enabled our photographs to look professional, as they would look in real advertisements.

Students are mastering the software which is fantastic.

Students explored the college, capturing the beautiful moments of nature, with the right tools and equipment to shoot the perfect picture.

Students have access to tools such as a tripod and a macro lens allowing them to express their creativity.

They all enjoyed taking the photography course this year and now have many skills to apply to their photo productions allowing them to produce photos to a professional and creative standard. Students were very thankful for the opportunity they received to take the course in Year 10.

Congratulations for the great work completed this year!

HOSPITALITY

Eating is a necessity but cooking is an art. Our students learn skills they will use for life. In Year 7 and 8 our ten week courses offer students the opportunity to work through a daily menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner. With the amount of eggs we go through experimenting with omelettes, we hope there are many spoilt Mums and Dads being served breakfast in bed! In Year 9 we get more creative and look at the art of cake and pastry making. Lemon Meringue Pie, Apple Turnovers and Mrs Cartwright’s Family Sponge recipe are put to the test. We also covered healthy fast food with students learning to cook fast food favourites from scratch, using fresh ingredients and less processed foods.

DELICIOUS DISHES We get serious in Year 10, with an introduction to Hospitality. More advanced recipes are used and we travel the world through our international culinary portfolio. Thai Beef Salad, Butter Chicken, Nasi Goreng and Pasta are always popular.

This course also looks at the art of entertaining and eating out with an emphasis on the formal menu.

It culminates in a very popular excursion to Challenger TAFE’s training restaurant for a three course lunch where they can experience first hand what has been learnt in the classroom. The students are sometimes lucky enough to be invited for a tour behind the scenes as well. Finally, to our upper school Hospitality students. As always their commitment this year to the course has been outstanding.

We took possession earlier in the year of “Big Red” our portable Coffee Machine. This has allowed the students to practice their Barista skills at a number of venues and functions around the College.

Apart from this you can find our students working daily in the ECCspresso coffee shop; in class with their heads down learning about food safety and hygiene and preparing food for over 1000 people at Graduation.

Just follow the laughter to the cooking rooms where the teamwork and camaraderie that the students have displayed in our area continues to remind us of the reason why we find our profession so rewarding.

Mrs Deborah Barraclough Director of Home Economics

TEXTILES

Sewing is a great life skill to have. It teaches listening, communication, dexterity, patience and problem solving skills. We have many creative students at our College and students can express these talents in our Textile classes. This year we introduced the use of sewing machines into our Year 7 curriculum. Straight stitch, zig zag, seams and bobbins became part of their vocabulary. The students learnt sewing machine basics and were challenged with threading the machine and its various uses. After the students achieved their “Drivers Licence” they were off and racing. It was great to see them take an interest in the machine and develop their skills.

TEXTILE TALENTS Through discussion and class activities it was clear Year 7 students have a great respect for the environment and sustainable practices. The term’s activities included the students making their own Tie Dyed draw string bags.

The students enjoyed creating different Tie Dye looks, some looking suspiciously close to the colours of their favourite football team. Aprons and gloves were a must when tie dying as one student discovered after his hands and uniform turned blue.

It was great to see the student’s final products and the pride that they took in their work. For the last weeks of term students created a felt mouse pin cushion; they got to experiment with different textures and features. Each felt mouse was unique and demonstrated students creative talents.

Hand stitching was also taught with some students completing some hand sewn features such as whiskers and a nose on their pin cushion mouse.

Miss O’Sullivan started up our Textiles Club in Term Three.

Every Thursday afternoon students were encouraged to come along and learn sewing basics whilst socialising with different year groups. It was great to see students enjoying themselves and achieving their goals. We have some talented and enthusiastic fashion designers and it will be exciting to see what they create next.

CHILDCARE

The Children, Family and Community course offered to our middle and upper school students is a diverse course offering both theoretical and practical elements. In Year 10 the Childcare and Development students have studied topics such as family structures, child development, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, conception, birth and childhood health. A highlight of the year was when students created story books and a language comprehension activity for a pre-school child and went on two excursions to Hammond Park Primary Catholic School to trial their activity. It was a valuable learning experience for our students to interact with young children and keep them engaged while learning.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT In Year 11 students have studied a wide variety of topics while learning life skills in Children, Family and Community. Students analysed local family support services and created links to their local community through exploring current family issues.

After studying parent responsibilities and child needs, they got to experience the real life baby programme by taking home an electronic baby for 24hrs.

The baby simulation enabled students to prepare for the challenges of parenthood.

A guest speaker from WANSLEA visited our Year 11 class and informed us of the work her organisation does with foster children. Students showed true compassion and generosity of spirit when completing a care package for the foster children at WANSLEA.

Finally, our Year 12 class prepared themselves for their first externally set test and achieved outstanding results. We then focused on ways to teach cultural diversity in a pre-primary setting. This was put into action with the students visiting Mater Christi Catholic Primary School and conducting their own culturally inclusive lessons. The students worked extremely well with the children with many of the Mater Christi teachers impressed with their efforts. Our final major assessment of the year focused on Advocacy.

Students chose their own topics to advocate for including homelessness, child protective services, domestic violence services and endangered wildlife.

Students raised money, created gift bags, care packages and collected household items for all of these worthwhile causes. It was a wonderful achievement.

VISUAL ARTS

For Emmanuel Visual Arts students, 2017 has been yet another hands on, creative and vibrantly colourful year. Our Year 7’s worked with clay to create beautifully intricate tiles, and hand crafted flora and fauna pieces. The Year 8’s painted and hand drew portraits as part of their 2D unit, producing colourful and eclectic totem poles and intricate art in their 3D unit. The Byzantine Art movement inspired the Year 9’s as they produced shimmering paintings before experiencing the printmaking process working with ink. The Year 10 Visual Arts students viewed professional art pieces up close and personal on their excursion to the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition in Cottesloe.

VISUAL FEAST They went on to visit the Spare Parts Puppet Theatre in Fremantle before creating their own inspired puppets. A special congratulations goes to Maxine Powell who won a prize at the 2017 Angelico Exhibition for her special creation. The Year 10’s then immersed themselves in the world of textiles, creating Jungle-inspired wearable artworks before turning their hands to the studio of oil painting.

For our upper school students, we began the year visiting the Art Gallery of Western Australia as we geared up to tackle our General and ATAR Art units.

A year of blood, sweat and tears have since passed in the creation of their final masterpieces. We proudly look forward to showcasing the hard work and cross our fingers our 12’s are recognised for their hard work and talent in their WACE results.

2017 YEARBOOK

I’d like to acknowledge the dedication and passion of my fellow Visual Arts teachers, Mrs Deanna Catalano, Mrs Catherine White and Mrs Jan Rigoll who stepped into our Learning Area in Term Three. They work tirelessly to inspire and foster the creativity of our students. Extra special thanks go to our Arts Technician, Mrs Trish Costarella who works the hardest, completing all the behind the scenes tasks needed to ensure smooth sailing.

As the year draws to an end we reflect on Thomas Merton’s words when he wrote, ‘Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.’

We hope our students have enjoyed immersing themselves into the practice and finding the creativity and talent within. Let’s do it all again in 2018!

Mr Timothy Excell Visual Arts Teacher

GRAPHIC DESIGN

The Graphic Design students have been creating some amazing digital artwork in 2017. The Year 7’s, 8’s and 9’s were introduced to Graphic Design industry standard software, and the basic skills of Photoshop, and Illustrator. Their Photoshop task was to create a pencil case design using their chosen images from the Internet, then collaging them onto a patterned background. These designs were then printed onto a thick canvas fabric, and sewn into cute character pencil cases. They also learnt the basics of Illustrator, where they designed mandalas by hand, then re-created them using the Paint brush Tool, and the Wacom tablet and Pen.

DIGITAL CREATIVITY Year 8 Photoshop students designed Humanimals (half human and half animal characters), and the Year 8 Illustrator students learnt how to sketch freehand portraits with the Wacom pens and tablets. The Year 9 Illustrator students designed their own cartoon characters and also created artwork that resembled a Romero Britto piece.

The Year 10’s designed some awesome mixed media, water colour and Photoshop digital illustrations, and both Xueting Shang and Maxine Powell’s work was selected to represent Emmanuel for the Annual Angelico Exhibition. The Year 10’s also designed a book cover of their choice, and created vector portraits and artwork in Illustrator.

The upper school students have been working on their portfolios, and have created outstanding designs.

Designs included: Magazine covers for Popshot Magazine, Time Magazine, festival posters, and posters for corporations such as Amnesty International, album artwork for their chosen solo artist or band, logos and fabric pattern designs.

The graphic design artwork was exhibited at the Annual Emmanuel Catholic College 2017 MMADDD Awards, where over 500 people attended.

Many students received awards for their fantastic designs. Thank you to all the 2017 Design students for your fantastic effort and dedication during the year – especially the Year 12’s. You have produced some amazing work that you should be proud of, and we wish you all the best for 2018 and beyond.

MEDIA

2017 was a year filled with many creative Media Productions produced by our young and talented students at Emmanuel Catholic College. This year, in addition, we introduced Media Studies in Year 7 and 8. We took our current Year 11 and 12’s to a screening of Media Perspectives at Innaloo Megaplex. It was truly inspiring watching all the top videos from the previous year. Our ATAR Year 11 Arts students were privileged to go on a trip to Japan, stopping at Tokyo, and Kyoto, and Osaka as well. While we were there, we visited Studio Ghibli, Art museums and galleries and Universal studios.

VIDEO SHOWCASE Our Annual MMADDD Awards were celebrated towards the end of the year, with numerous awards handed out to the Arts students. Congratulations to our lower school Arts students who took out many categories.

Special mention goes to Benjamin Cappelluti and Floris Van Gelder for their best ‘Chase Scene’, Aayush Sahni, Bailey Roberts, Daniel Chandler, and Alisha Capelinha for their Soap Trailer, ‘Emmanuel High’, and Taite Walker and Ben Harper’s Basketball Shoes Product Review.’

In Year 11, our students worked hard in their Music Video Clips and Current Affairs segment this year.

Students had to go out of their comfort zone to interview talents from outside of school. Some of these topics ranged from the “Tattoos in the Workplace,” to “Veganism.”

The Best 12 ATAR Media Films went to Duncan Ncube’s, experimental film, “Rue,” and Jacob Scholten’s, “Cycle.” Special mention goes to Eleisha Perez’s short film, “Lachrymose,” and Chelsea Condon’s, “In the Park.”

These media students have a lot of passion and put in so many hours into their projects. They have worked hard to achieve an excellent standard of media productions.

A big thank you to all my ‘Media Geeks’ and their top standard of work this year. I’m very excited for what 2018 will bring!

DANCE

2017 has been an exciting and busy year for Dance. Students across Years 7 to 9 have shown an abundance of talent and enthusiasm for the subject; producing some commendable results. Year 7 classes have had a term each to explore the pleasure, creativeness and freedom that a subject like Dance can provide. The focus of the term was based on exploring their bodies and experimenting with what they can do to communicate ideas. The students have worked in duos and groups to produce original movement and were introduced to some methods of Hip-Hop by external professional tutors.

ABUNDANCE OF TALENT All the students embraced this chance to ‘bust a move’ and many incorporated what they learnt in their Assessment Task which was to make a Dance Music Video in groups. This year we have been impressed with the energy and enthusiasm of all these classes and we look forward to seeing them develop more confidence and skills to be able to perform on a stage near you soon!

In Year 8 Dance we delved into the Dance styles of Hip Hop and Jazz. The students focused on dance technique, history of dance, costume and performance review. A major aspect of the course was group performances where the students had the opportunity to perform a self-choreographed dance to their peers.

Throughout the course of the year the students have improved their dance technique and have developed the confidence and ability to perform in front of an audience.

World Dance was the main component of Year 9 Dance this year. Students had the great opportunity to experience various dance styles, including Bollywood, Latin, Line dancing, Hip-hop and Jazz.

Many students had never experimented with these dance styles.

It was great to see the students experiencing the culture, history and skills that come with these dance styles, making it their own and trying new things. The Year 9 class worked with an external choreographer in Semester One, learning an eight-minute long dance routine, performed in this year’s Act-Belong-Commit YOH Fest competition. The subject of dance has brought new and exciting opportunities and we hope 2018 brings more fun and challenging experiences for the students to involve themselves in.

DRAMA

Being a Drama teacher is an absolute privilege as you get to witness students in their creative and imaginative element, live every day. Our classes are full of raw energy, with students engaging and working collaboratively with each other for an ultimate result of self-expression in Performance.

Studying drama requires emotional maturity, and gives pupils a deep understanding of themselves.

Because it involves using not only their voices and bodies, but also emotions and creativity, it is able to engender a deep sense of self-esteem. It is also a subject that requires a great deal of peer trust, and so it plays an important role in teaching communication, listening and empathy skills.

RAW ENERGY This year our College Drama students continued to develop and excel as performers. Our Year 7 students have proven to be an exciting addition to the subject with all classes experiencing a one term taster course exploring mime, body language, soundscapes and movement.

At the end of the term each class presented a group performance based on a poem called ‘The Lake’ by Roger McGough.

This highlighted environmental issues that develop from carelessness and neglect. Year 8 Drama have performed everything from secret agents to characters from ancient folk-tales. They have experienced what it was like to create their own script.

2017 YEARBOOK

They also acted out Deborah Oswald’s ‘Stories in the Dark,’ about children lost in the conflict of war. Year 10 and 11 students have been exploring the plays of contemporary Australian playwrights and had the opportunity to be Actor, Director, Set, Costume and Lighting Designer during their studies.

These skills are invaluable in teaching students that Drama is more than just ‘acting.’ As part of this unit we travelled to the Perth Cultural Centre to experience the world premiere of ‘The Lighthouse Girl’ presented by The Black Swan Theatre Company.

The students behaved impeccably and were very grateful for this rewarding experience. I am looking forward to watching our talented students grow and develop using Drama as a place to explore their ideas in a safe and non-threatening environment in the years to come.

PERFORMING ARTS

The Emmanuel Lindy Hop Team performed at the annual Catholic Performing Arts Festival. This year, we participated in the dance category and performed with fifteen other Catholic Schools around Perth at the Perth Convention Centre. This year we decided to change up our dance era a little, going further back in time from 1940s Swing to 1920s Charleston. Back in time to the Prohibition Era, where Flapper and Dapper Dames were all the dance rage. We put the boys in striking suits, and the girls in shiny sequinned Charleston dresses. They looked right from the era and were fantastic to watch!

The team this year consisted of 14 students. They trained every Thursday till late for three terms.

LINDY HOP This team is so unique as it is all ages (Years 7 to12) and it was so pleasurable watching the older students coach the younger ones through. Well done to Ashley Dunlop in Year 12 who has participated since he was in Year 9. Thank you for your contribution to the team for all these years!

Miss Dabelyn Ng Lindy Hop Team

YOH FEST On Tuesday 5 September a group of students in Year’s 7 – 9 ventured to the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre to compete in this year’s Act-BelongCommit YOH Fest. This competition aims to spread awareness on a current youth health issue, with this year’s theme being “It Starts With Me”. In each performance students have to create a storyline reflecting this theme. Our dance routine explored three important issues; the isolating effects of technology, the struggle of depression and the contagious nature of littering.

Matt Treadgold, an external choreographer, was the mastermind behind this creation, however the main ideas, storyline and costumes were devised by the students themselves. The end result reflected their vision in this process and they should be commended for their hard work.

On the night of the performance Emmanuel was awarded a Merit for Creative Choreography.

Their performance was enchanting and mesmerised the audience and judging panel. The experience was rewarding for all involved. Congratulations to the dancers on your amazing efforts. It was an absolute pleasure to watch you shine on stage!

PERFORMING ARTS

The Year 11 ATAR Drama students travelled to Chisolm Catholic College to perform in the Scripted Drama Category of the Festival this year. The students selected and presented a three-minute monologue (which is one person speaking to an audience) from a play or script. During the day, we were able to see other performances from Catholic Schools in the Perth area , a great experience for our ATAR students to see what Year 12 students will be presenting for their Practical WACE Examination this year. Our students performed very well and Jean La Reservee was awarded a Merit for his performance of Hughie from the Australian classic play ‘One Day of the Year’ by Alan Seymour.

DRAMA Our Year 11 General Drama students along with Year 10 Drama travelled to Prendiville Catholic College to perform their entries in the Self Devised Script Category and the Scripted Drama. The Year 11 group performed a script written by Jacob de Souza.

The audience found it very entertaining and the students learnt a great deal from the experience.

The Year 10 class was joined by Hannah Gladwell and Jessica Kuzmar from Year 11 class to present Act Two of Sue Murray’s play ‘The Formal.’

There were many laughs from the audience and the group was given a high mark in the area of costume and presentation. As the students performed so well I thought it was only fair to allow the rest of the College to see these. On a balmy night parents and friends gathered in the SPACE building to see these talented students. The group that presented ‘The Formal’ had also co-written in class an “Aftermath” to the play. This was a fabulous creative experiment for the group and it was much enjoyed by those that attended.

We also indulged in a huge ‘Supper’ provided by the students’ parents. It was a lovely way to celebrate the work of these talented students.

We are already planning for next year as the Drama Groups had so much fun and I look forward to what lies ahead.

Students have worked with the big ideas of criminality and detective fiction, detection and the reliability of witness statements, as well as personal data and personal freedoms.

Thank you for sharing your amazing expertise with students this year, Dr Lynette Field! Students have greatly valued their sessions with you.

CAREERS, WORKPLACE & VET

Our first Careers Expo was held on Monday 19 June. Students from Years 9 and 10 visited with their teachers during the afternoon, while students, mainly from Years 11 and 12 took the opportunity to visit after 3.30pm. Students came away with a clearer idea of what their next step should be in order to move that bit closer to achieving their career dream. This year we saw the introduction of four Certificate courses: Certificate II in Conservation Land Management, Certificate II in Arts (Photography), Certificate II in Timber Manufacturing and Certificate II in Engineering Pathways. Students and staff have been working hard and provided many new experiences and potential career pathways.

CERTIFICATE IV Eight Year 12 students have been attending classes at Fremantle Education Centre to complete a Certificate IV in Business. The final assessment involved creating a business and marketing the product or concept at a business fair held in Fremantle.

Working in groups, students from Emmanuel presented great ideas.

INSTEP Students continue to develop their employability skills and widen their experiences by taking part in the Instep Work Experience Program. A wide range of industry areas were represented this year.

TRY A TRADE As part of the Careers Development Program, students in Year 10 participated in a three-day trade experience focusing on painting and plumbing at MPA Skills in Jandakot.

Try a Trade provides a unique opportunity to give a trade a go and see if it is an occupation they would like to know more about. MPA skills offer a range of programs to assist young people to follow in the Plumbing and Painting careers.

GET REAL EXPERIENCE AND TRY (GREAT) This Nursing and Midwifery Work Experience Program was developed to encourage students to experience nursing prior to studying.

2017 YEARBOOK

This experience is done via a State Training Provider or at University. This year eight of our Year 10 students were successful in gaining a place on this highly sought after Work Experience Program. For many it helped to make important decisions regarding their career pathway.

KWINANA INDUSTRY COUNCIL As an active member of the Kwinana Industry Council a series of annual KIC iProjects has been developed to promote career pathways into industry. All iProjects include visits to industry sites and provide an opportunity for students to further explore possible career pathways available in the Kwinana Industrial Area.

This year we have had a number of students step up and get involved; for iMen Marcus Davies, Liam Perry and Ben Nolan and for iScience Joshua Aylmore and Maxwell Sweetman.

Other work places have been supported this year with four Year 10 students taking part in the Defense Force Work Experience Program. Many students complete the various courses and come away with a clear idea of what they want to do and the direction of employment they wish to pursue.

SPORTS

2017 will go down as one of Emmanuel Catholic College’s most successful sporting years. The success and enjoyment across a variety of sports at the College has seen students excel in physical and social settings. The SASJ Competition is the first sporting event of the year and always has students abuzz with excitement. Students from Year 7-10 compete against seven other schools across Term One (summer) and Term Two (winter) sports. This includes Basketball, Touch Rugby, Super 8’s Cricket, Netball and Soccer. It is a great opportunity for students to participate and get some physical activity within their day.

DIVERSE TALENTS The Year 8/9 SASJ Touch boys were the standout performers for the year going through their fixtures undefeated and winning their respective Champion Shield. Year 8/9 SASJ Soccer and Basketball teams also were strong performers throughout the competition as they finished narrowly in second place. Similarly, our Year 8/9 Soccer girls nearly went through undefeated, and displayed fantastic team work and passing skills as they picked up second place.

All forms of Football at Emmanuel reached new heights this year.

The Year 7’s had a taste of football at the College as both boys and girls represented well at the Year 7 Football Carnival. The boys team only lost one game in their Carnival and the girls went through undefeated.

The girls’ tremendous performance qualified them for the finals Carnival the following week. Unfortunately, they did not come away champions, but it showed positive signs for the quality of footballers coming through the coming years. Similarly, the Year 10 boys competed in their Annual Football Carnival and dominated their Division which also qualified them for a finals Carnival.

The girls of Emmanuel participated in the Annual High School Cup Netball Competition with Year 7/8, Year 9/10 and Year 11/12 teams. The sheer number of teams and amount of girls wanting to play is a reflection of how the Netball Academy is flourishing.

2017 YEARBOOK

At the divisional carnival, all teams performed well with the Year 7/8 A-team and Year 11/12 team winning their pool and qualifying for finals. Both Junior Boys/Girls and Senior Boys/Girls compete at a one day Basketball Carnival in Term Two and Three.

All four teams did very well in their pools and experienced quality basketball playing against various schools including some with Basketball Specialist Programs. The Junior Boys team won their division and played in a finals tournament. They won every game except against Willetton and came away runners-up.

Soccer is one of our strongest performing sports.

Our Senior teams (Year 11/12) contested throughout their season. The Intermediate Boys team (Year 9/10) dominated the season making the finals. A similar season by our Junior Boys (Year 7/8) saw them make it through to the finals.

The introduction of a Girls’ Hockey team this year was fantastic. The girls participated well at their one day Carnival. Our Equestrian team, Shannon Smethurst and Angus Fraser did well at the Annual All Schools Equestrian Competition.

There are over 40 sporting teams which run over the course of the year. None of this would be possible without the commitment and enthusiasm of Emmanuel teachers who give us many hours to coach teams. Well done and bring on 2018!

HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL

Wednesday 22 February, the College competed in our Annual Emmanuel House Swimming Carnival at HBF Stadium. It was an exceptional day, with students competing in traditional swimming events surrounded by students, teachers and parents. The Tassie Devil novelty events went off without a hitch and took place in the 25m dive pool, where the focus is on participation and House Spirit. The overall House Shield was a close contest all day, see sawing between four Houses. This year the winning House was Francis, by a measly one point, stopping Lisieux’s attempt at the 3-peat. Congratulations to Miss Reynolds, Francis student leaders and of course, all the students that competed on the day.

FANTASTIC HOUSE SPIRIT Francis displayed terrific House Spirit all day in Tassie Events and the traditional events, however their enjoyment in the novelty events produced a welldeserved win, taking home the Tassie Devil award on top of their Emmanuel Swim Shield and allowed them to take home the double! Again, well done to Miss Reynolds and all the Francis students that participated in the novelty events.

There were some fantastic individual performances by our students. Congratulations to all our individual champions and a special congratulation to Caitlin Silas, the only student to set an Emmanuel Catholic College Swimming Record. The new record set is Butterfly 32.72. (Previous Record 34.69).

The process of organising a Carnival of this magnitude is not an easy task and it would not be possible without the help from the staff and students. Thank you to Year 11 and 12 student House leaders who gave up their time to make their way to HBF stadium to assist on behalf of their House Coordinators.

All the staff members who worked tirelessly throughout the day in their varying roles allowed for the event to run effectively and made my job so much easier. To the scoring team, your effort in the results room was wonderful. To the House Coordinators Miss Reynolds, Dr Field, Mr Tirli, Mr Oddie, Mr Parry and Mr Gherardi your professionalism and effort in the weeks leading up to the Carnival and throughout the day was terrific.

To all the staff and students, your efforts, enthusiasm and House Spirit were excellent and I thank you all for that! To all the parents that came out and supported this event, it was great to see you there.

I just hope next year more and more parents can make it to these sporting events, it makes the day better seeing you all there. Thank you!

ACC D DIVISION SWIMMING CARNIVAL

Emmanuel’s ACC Swim Team competed in the ACC “D” Division Swimming Carnival at HBF Stadium.

The students demonstrated excellent behaviour, as they always do, and performed exceptionally all day. The majority of students achieved a quicker time than what they swam at our College Carnival three weeks prior, which helped us move up from 7th position last year, to 4th (by only 4 points) in 2017. It was not only about student’s performances on the day, but more importantly the team camaraderie in the lead up to the competition. Early morning training sessions were abuzz with our athletes working hard in the pools, clocking up the kilometres.

SWIMMING SENSATIONS It has been fantastic to see the increase in training numbers over the years; evidence of the determination and work ethic our athletes have in representing our Interschool team. If this positive attitude continues in 2018, we will be close to pushing for a spot up into the C-Division Carnival.

Again, a special thank you must go to Miss Kerry Reynolds, who was the Emmanuel Swim Coach for the third consecutive year. She always displays a high level of enthusiasm towards all the morning training sessions, which our students responded to as they continued to work tirelessly in the pool.

As already mentioned, the majority of our students swam a better time than they did at our College Carnival, which just shows how hard they trained leading up to the ACC Carnival. I would also like to thank Miss Sam Mallon and Mr Phil Oddie for driving the bus and assisting with the early morning swim training sessions.

There were impressive individual performances throughout the Carnival. The following students excelled on the day in their respective age groups.

HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY CARNIVAL

On the last day of Term One, our Annual Inter-House Cross Country Carnival was held on the College oval and surrounding Beeliar Regional Park. It is always a fantastic way to lead into Term One holidays.

This year we had perfect conditions for the event, with a slight breeze and a high of 23 degrees; it was set up for some excellent times. It appeared as if all students had an enjoyable afternoon walking or running the 3.3km course. All students participated with great enthusiasm and represented their House extremely well. A huge congratulations to our Cross Country Champions for 2017 for their hard work, sporting abilities and commitment.

FRANCIS HOUSE As always, the students approached the final day of Term One with an enormous amount of House spirit. The competition was very close throughout the day, but at the end of the Carnival, Francis proved too strong for the rest of the Houses, taking out the Emmanuel Cross Country Shield.

Congratulations must also go to More House, who had the highest percentage, by quite a large margin, of students participate and consequently take out the Tassie Devil Award for 2017.

There were some stand-out performances on the day from many students, however, unbelievably there were five records broken on the day.

A very big thank you to all the PE Staff; these days are not possible without your help and expertise.

These days are also not possible without the support and help of all staff members that had specific duties throughout the afternoon, so thank you to all that contributed so well on the day. To the P&F, who supplied a bottle of water and fruit for all students as they crossed the finish line, your support was much appreciated.

Finally, to all the students that participated on the day, your enthusiasm, and willingness to get involved and be an important member of your House group was outstanding! Thank you all very much!

ACC CROSS COUNTRY CARNIVAL

On June 1, 2017 the Emmanuel ACC Cross Country team set out once again for Perry Lakes Reserve for the annual ACC Cross Country Carnival. After ten weeks of hard training that began back in Term One throughout many cold mornings, the team was ready to compete. The conditions weren’t the most favourable early in the morning. A layer of smoke covered the running course which made it difficult for our younger competitors running their race first. The smoke cleared and the sun came out, making conditions perfect for Cross Country. All Emmanuel athletes worked themselves to the limit, hoping to achieve outstanding results over the 3km course for girls and 4km course for boys.

PROUD MOMENTS It was a pleasure and a proud moment watching all of our competitors down the final straight, red faced and giving it everything they have. Pushing the body to the limit and displaying strong mental skills is a real credit to our athletes and something we have improved as a College over the years.

There were many great individual performances from all Emmanuel Catholic College students on the day and it is important to understand that each race has well over 300 competitors running. Some outstanding Top 20 finishes from Emmanuel students were: OVERALL SCORES NAME

As a team, it was the most successful result in Emmanuel history. Points are allocated to runners depending on where they finish amongst other competitors. This means, the lower your team’s score (1st = 1 point), the higher your team is on the ladder position. The boys overall aggregate score put them in 2nd position. This is an amazing result, the best we have achieved as a College, beating many larger schools who all have a rich history in Cross Country.

2017 YEARBOOK

Boys and girls scores are combined together for an overall score. Our position was what we hoped for as we made our way into the Top 10 - coming in 10th position! This was out of 67 schools which is a fantastic effort. It is a credit to the attitude of our athletes who love representing Emmanuel and take pride in their performance. Congratulations should go to all team members who trained really hard and for their determination on the day.

A special thanks to Mr Henley, Miss Bowe, Miss Baxter, and Mr Edwards for their help at this very busy Carnival. Your roles of marshalling students and providing the motivation to succeed and support is something all of our students appreciate and are lucky to have.

All of our Cross Country runners have been a part of our running club, which is a Program we are beginning to develop. It provides students the opportunity to run, not just for high performance but for fun and fitness.

We would love to see more students putting their hands up in the coming years as it is fantastic for their physical, mental, emotional and social health.

HOUSE ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

On Friday 5 May, all of the Emmanuel students headed down to our College ovals to participate in the Annual Emmanuel Athletics Carnival. It turned out to be a delightful day, full of sunshine and a high of 24 degrees. We changed the format in 2017, and the day started off with the field events, as students moved around both ovals competing in Long Jump, Shot Put, Javelin, 800m and the Tazzie Devil Novelty events. The field events are compulsory for all students and it was great to see so much enthusiasm from each Form group representing their House. Students were throwing far and jumping high, evident in the amount of new records set throughout the Carnival.

FRANCIS DOMINATION After the morning events, students were able to show their talents in the track events, including the 100m, 200m and 400m sprints. High Jump also continued on the wing of the football oval. The House tents were a sea of colour as the six Houses sat alongside the 100m straight, cheering on their fellow House members. With the inclusion of new timing gates for our track events, their times were more specific than ever, which students loved.

It was a great day, with House spirit a focus and something that has really developed over the years.

The tables below summarise the results of each House in the House Shield and the Tazzie Devil Award. A special mention must go to Francis House who dominated throughout the day and won the House Shield, completing their 3-peat for all of the Emmanuel House Carnivals.

Along with the Champion House Shield, points are also allocated to individuals in each event; these points go towards the individual champion, runnerup and third place trophies.

Well done to all the award winners listed to the right.

A special thanks to all Teaching and Non-Teaching staff who helped out on the day; it is a long day and your hard work is much appreciated. I don’t want to name names, as I would end up listing every single staff member at Emmanuel.

The Athletics Carnival is a whole school effort and a fantastic day for the school community to get together. Thank you to all the parents that came down and supported the event. I hope your day was relaxing and enjoyable.

Finally, a special mention to all of the students; your enthusiasm, House spirit and exceptional behaviour was fantastic. Looking at the results of student performances in the week following, we looked like being in a good position for the ACC Athletics Carnival.

ACC D DIVISION ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

On Monday 11 September, Emmanuel Catholic College travelled to the WA State Athletic Centre to compete against seven other Colleges in the ACC Division D Athletics Carnival. All of the students that participated represented the College in a fantastic manner, including our Year 10/12 Sport and Recreation students who were excellent student officials throughout the day. It was a history making day, as for the first time, the Athletics Team won the entire Competition! This result is a fantastic achievement for all the hard work our athletes have put into training and their efforts on the day.

This moves Emmanuel into C-Division, for the first time, in 2018.

D DIVISION CHAMPIONS Emmanuel also won the Junior Boys Shield and Overall Boys Shield on the day, showing our dominance against the competition.

Team success was our number one goal for the day, but we also had a number of students that finished in the top three for their age groups. A special mention goes to the following students who excelled.

FOOTBALL ACADEMY - EMMANUEL KINGS

Emmanuel Catholic College have certainly made an impression in football circles in 2017, with our Junior and Senior Boys both making it to the Grand Final of their respective competitions. Our Senior Girls team continues to improve and this year saw the inclusion of a Junior Girls Competition in Term Three. There have been many factors that have contributed to the success of these boys’ sides but a key component has been the implementation of the Football Academy across the year groups. Our teaching and coaching staff have worked tirelessly with our football students in developing their theoretical and practical knowledge, and are being rewarded with group success.

FOOTBALL SUCCESS Emmanuel students in the Academy continue to be exposed to many different facets of the Australian Rules game. Our Year 8’s enjoyed a Melbourne Trip, that developed their independence and selfconfidence, and provided them with the opportunity to play against top quality Victorian School Football sides.

In Year 9, we emphasised the value of fitness and football skills.

Some of our Senior Boys were using GPS’s this season to track their running efforts and distance covered in our games. This useful tool allowed the coaching staff to determine the effort levels of particular students and instilled accountability into individual players.

Even though our two teams tripped at the final hurdle, we were very proud of the way they played and conducted themselves in every game with our emphasis of dignity, honour and compassion being evident.

We employed a variety of drills to develop them under pressure and our classroom lessons focussed on presentations to further build their self-confidence.

In Year 10, our students had the opportunity to gain a Certificate I in Sport and Recreation in AFL and build towards gaining a Level 1 in Coaching (Auskick).

Girls Football is growing within the AFL with the AFLW competition being introduced across Australia, and our Emmanuel girls have been eager to get involved in the competitions available to schools. The Senior Girls have a bright future with a strong group of Year 10’s coming through and the Junior Girls competition providing opportunities to the younger generation of girls to play the great game.

In satisfying the coaching requirements, our students provided clinics to a variety of age-levels at Mater Christi Catholic Primary School. They took the experiences away with them on camp to provide clinics at Mary Mackillop College in Busselton.

These are exciting times for Girls’ Football and we look forward to developing the skills and game play of our girls.

All Academy year groups also had the opportunity to play PSA sides such as Trinity, Aquinas and Wesley College which was a fantastic experience for them.

As mentioned earlier, our Junior and Senior Boys had ground-breaking successes with both sides reaching the WA School Competition Grand Finals.

Unfortunately, the Junior Boys went down to Sacred Heart by three points at Domain Stadium, our Senior Boys were unfortunately beaten by CBC Fremantle.

2017 YEARBOOK

We would like to thank all the staff and students that have assisted over the year to provide our teams with the best opportunity for success and we couldn’t do it without you.

The future of Football looks bright at Emmanuel Catholic College and we look forward to 2018 being another year of making history in all the competitions available to our students.

NETBALL ACADEMY - EMMANUEL ACES

In Term One, the focus of all three Academies was fitness. The girls participated in one compulsory session per week with the emphasis being on the development of agility, speed and endurance. The girls went through gruelling fitness tests such as the beep test, two kilometre time trial and the yoyo test to determine whether their aerobic fitness had improved. All girls were required to meet a standard until the team could move forward to skill development. In Term Two the main aim was to improve their netball, acquire a deeper understanding of advanced tactics and strategies and team cohesion amongst the teams.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT This was achieved by dynamic drills, team bonding activities and competitive game play. Over the course of the year the girls’ talent improved immensely and they were becoming stronger as a team as the year went on. This was evident at the High School Cup Carnival where a majority of the Academy girls made it through to the final stages of the competition.

FIXTURED GAMES Throughout the course of the year, the Academy teams had the opportunity to play a variety of other schools to showcase their talent. The schools included Atwell College, St. Norbert’s, Mercedes College and Kolbe Catholic College. These games were held after school and were very competitive, with the girls having a good win to loss ratio.

We hope that in the future we are able to organise more games with other high schools to further develop the girls netball skills in a competitive setting and strengthen our connections with the wider community.

SPECIALIST COACHING In 2017, the Netball Academy were excited to establish our partnership with the Coastal Sharks.

We have been delighted to share our facilities with them and in return have their players and coaches run specialist coaching sessions with our students.

Among the talented netball players at Coastals was Sophie Garbin, who the girls were lucky enough to be coached by. Sophie has just been signed by the Sydney Swifts which is an outstanding achievement for her, and a massive privilege for the girls.

2017 YEARBOOK

The Emmanuel Aces Academy students appreciated these sessions and took away a variety of new drills which they incorporated into their game play.

EXCURSIONS The Netball Academy have had two excursions over the year. The excursions incorporate both skill development and team bonding. We were lucky enough this year to have the West Coast Fever allow us to watch one of their training sessions.

CLASS OF 2007 & 2016 REUNIONS

There have been two Alumni events held this year at Emmanuel. Firstly we welcomed back our Year 12 Graduating Class from 2016 in February for a Reunion Sundowner on the steps of the SPACE. Secondly, Class of 2007 had their Ten Year Reunion in August in the College Library. It is always interesting to hear of the wonderful and varied careers and study paths our students are undertaking.

It is very rewarding to know Emmanuel played an important part in these students’ lives and the wonderful young mature adults they have become. These Alumni events have become a celebration of our past students’ achievements.

CLASS OF 2016 - ONE YEAR REUNION

CLASS OF 2007 - TEN YEAR REUNION

Recently graduated students from 2016 returned to the College on the 23 February for a Sundowner.

They enjoyed catching up, sharing stories of their achievements and adventures since leaving Emmanuel. The many staff who attended had the chance to congratulate the students on their success in their end of year exams and graduation.

On 12 August we held the Class of 2007 Ten Year Reunion which was well attended by over 60 exstudents, with some travelling from as far as Berlin.

They were very excited to be reacquainted with the College and enjoyed meeting each other, and past staff (including Head of Year Rachel Fraser) after ten years.

Some of the careers the students have chosen from school are very interesting and it was wonderful to speak to them about their future study and career paths.

Mr Di Gregorio took them for a tour of the SPACE and outlined plans for the new Visual Arts and English Centre that has commenced this year.

Thirty one of our students achieved ATAR scores above 80 and 92% achieved University entrance. We also had 100% of our VET students achieve Certificate II or higher qualifications. Eighteen of our students received State Awards. Emmanuel is very proud of our newly graduated students.
