Victoria Camp School

Captain and Vice Captain - 1994

During the summer holidays I attended a M.A.V. Maths Camp. Despite my initial apprehension, the camp proved to be a most worthwhile and enjoyable experience. Each day we participated in a number of group sessions and lectures, aimed at encouraging interest in maths in areas not necessarily covered by the school curriculum. A guest speaker from Melbourne University highlighted the career opportunities, which I had not been aware of, in the field of mathematics.

Not only did the camp broaden my understanding of mathematics, but it was a great opportunity to meet students from all around Victoria. I strongly encourage any student with an interest in maths to attend this

When a family journeys on the wings of freedom, in the sense described by Father Gleeson, the way will be enormously challenging, and not at all easy, requiring the delicate balance of rights and responsibilities, values and freedom. But it will be enriching and stimulating for all.

In the life and learning of the Junior School we attempt to parallel the positive journey and growth of' the family. We continue and extend

The School Council

Strategic Plan Loreto Mandeville Hall will celebrate its 70th

anniversary as a Catholic School for girls in September this year. The anniversary is a time to reflect on and celebrate the past 70 years. However it is also timely to formulate a vision and a plan for the future. Loreto Maiideville Hall is currently in a period of transition from a school owned and administered by the Loreto Institute to one which will still be owned by the Institute, but managed by the School Council, in accordance with the Loreto education philosophy.

Just as business develops a strategy plan to set its direction and form the basis of decision

making and performance measurement, a school should adopt a similar process to ensure it is placed to meet the challenge of educational change as we move into the 21st century. The process involves testing whether the school

is successfully fulfilling its charter, to access possible future trends in education and society and to understand the views of the Loreto

Mandeville Hall community. To assist the School Council in developing the Strategy Plan, Sally Joy and Associates has been employed to act as facilitator of the planning process. Initially Sally Joy is undertaking a completely confidential interview of a random sample of the Loreto parents. This interview

process will provide an invaluable data base which will assist Council in the identification of

key issues that will need to be addressed in the

planning process. The Strategy Plan will be a Loreto Mandeville Hall community plan, developed in conjunction with the wider Loreto community and owned by all involved with our school. The parent interview process is a key component of the plan.

Sally Joy is a qualified psychologist with experience in the areas of social welfare, industry and education. She is currently head of department of the faculty of Business/Marketing at Monash Caulfield campus. Sally, a mother of

four children herself is well experienced in the field of education with a particular affinity to

To date, a workshop involving Councillors and senior staff has been held to review the existing mission statement and identify a broad range of issues that will need to be addressed in the plan process. Fact gathering is continuing on a number of these issues.

Shortly the parent interview process will commence with some 150 parents being interviewed. At the same time, staff will be

surveyed in order to gain their input, followed by other sections of the Loreto Mandeville Hall community.

Sally Joy and Associates should complete the survey work and report to Council by mid 1994. A follow up article to keep all informed on the plan progress will appear in the Mandevillan later in the year. John Arthur, Chairman, Loreto Mandeville Hall Council

P.M.P. The Perceptual Motor Programme is an activity-based movement programme which was introduced to Loreto Mandeville Hall in 1992

for Prep and Year 1 girls. Its primary objectives are to assist children in acquiring efficient movement, to promote improved sensory functioning, and to develop a positive self-image.

The main areas on which the programme concentrates are the promotion of improved balance skills (static and dynamic), locomotor skills (transport movements), hand-eye and footeye co-ordination, and body and space awareness.

Each class takes part in two 30-minute sessions per week in small groups with up to four members, and experiences each activity station on a rotational basis.

Teachers and parents are assigned to a station to help guide and motivate children as they participate in each activity.

The P.M.P. is a proven and practical way to improve physical co-ordination and promote a positive self-image in young children. (Miss) Jayne Webster and (Miss) Jenny Burgess (P.M.P., Junior School)

2. A review of the existing situation involving

the gathering of opinions from various groups of the school community. 3. An assessment of the internal and external

factors which are likely to affect the school over the plan time frame. 4. The identification of alternative options to the key issues identified through the plan process.

Mid-year, Year 5 will spend three days at Sovereign Hill, Ballarat. Year 4 spends one night away, utilizing basic camping skills such as setting up a campfire and erecting a tent. The Year 3 children have an overnight stay at school during fourth term, while the Year 1 and 2 children participate in an extended day at school. The Prep children discover aspects of their environment. As part of the Outdoor Education programme all children will study First Aid techniques such as treatment of cuts, bites, abrasions and stings, recognition of broken limbs, immobilisation of limbs, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and treatment of sunburn and sunstroke.

Environmental issues are addressed as part of the programme. The children learn to recognize our Australian flora and fauna, to preserve, conserve and recyc]e resources and to develop an awareness of current issues.

International Year of the

Family As 1994 has been declared the International

Year of the Fanzity, we hope to present an article on the family Rom differing viewpoints in each edition of The Mandeuillian this Year. The first of these is written by Mrs Margaret Smith, who is a mother and grandmother, and a 'surrogate mother' iii her role as Year 12 Coordinator at Loreto Manderille Hall.

So What's New? 'The Year of the Family' - but surely every year is the year of the family! Do we really need to be reminded of this fact? Our families are

Each of our seven children has much to

contribute to our family. Each is very different, each having his or her particular gifts. Each has, at various times, caused worry and concern;

each has suffered disappointments and enjoyed successes. I cannot imagine our family without any one of them.

The Year 12 camp gave all of us the opportunity to discover ourselves and others, before facing the hassles of Year 12. As our wonderful theme song says, 'You are you, and I am me, and together we are delightful.' Genevieve Wallace, Claire Rosel and Katie Callery (Year 12)

It is the same in our school family - each student, each staff member, is a part of this

whole family, and, as the 17th Century poet John Donne implied, without any one of them the school body would, in some way, be the less. As a family we would be diminished. As educators we must foster the individual

strengths of our students, acknowledging that for some there will be more difficulties than for

others, but also recognizing the intrinsic value of each person. If we can educate our students fully, then hopefully they will develop that greater awareness of the wider family and will

leave school feeling love for their own families, affection and gratitude for the school family, and a sense of empathy and commitment towards the world family.

C.R.A. National Science Summer School The selection process for the N.S.S.S. was, in itself, a very beneficial experience. At the suggestion of my Physics teacher, I applied to the Malvern Notary Club who contacted me and arranged an interview with the Youth Co-ordinator. Having never been to an interview of that sort, I gained much. I was interviewed by a

panel of three, and was fortunate enough to be one of the 16 chosen from the 39 applicants.

Another Acronym?! What are we to make of this word ARTISM? A

new movement in the world of art? Actually it is not to do with art at all, but with the teaching of Mathematics. ARTISM stands for 'Active and

DAY 1. A wayside stop with some curious entertainment provided by a man watering the roadway, then on to Benalla. The roses in the gardens looked as wilted as we felt and the

Wizzy Dizzy provided some with 'slight indigestion'. We finally arrived mid-afternoon, settled into the rooms and then off to the lateral

trouble with all the rich cheese, but it had no problems consuming the Swiss chocolate 100g at a time. We all became rather addicted to Lindt
