As you are aware, we have just completed three weeks of classes. I am pleased to inform you that all seems to be going very well. Now the excitement, and perhaps anxiety for some, associated with the new year has probably settled, all reports indicate that there is an overall atmosphere of positivity and diligence in classes. Well done to our students. We have had a smooth start to the new academic year. Thank you to parents for your support to ensure that your daughter/son was well organised and guided to make the most of the opportunities the new year will provide.

Supporting student wellbeing and learning It will come as no surprise that research highlights the importance of appropriate and positive relationships to a student’s wellbeing. Andreas Schleicher, in Teacher Magazine, 15 May 2017 (cited in CEM Director’s News, Vol. 8, No. 19) who is the OECD’s Director for Education and Skills, says that PISA data indicates the significant role schools have on student attitudes and behaviour in life:

“Beyond acquiring academic skills, schools help students become more resilient in the face of adversity, feel more connected with the people around them, and aim higher in their aspirations.” At Saint Ignatius College we are very mindful of this and, this is reflected in our aim to develop the whole person and the programs we provide. Of the four big themes that Schleicher identifies (three focus on the school environment), one focuses on the influence of a student’s perception of how interested her/ his parents are in them and in their school life on the student’s attitudes towards education and her/his motivation to study. What emerges from the PISA data is the importance of a strong school community where parents, students and staff work collaboratively to foster a safe and respectful school climate. This obviously will promote student wellbeing and lead to better outcomes for all students. At Saint Ignatius, let’s all work together to promote a positive learning culture by placing the priority on supporting student consistent attendance, diligent application, positive attitude and making the most of the opportunities available at school. ....continued on Page 2

Lent On Wednesday last week, we commenced the Lenten period in the liturgical calendar of the Church year with ‘Ash Wednesday.’ Lent is a period of forty days leading to the high point of the Church’s year, Easter. During Lent, we are encouraged to reflect on our lives in the light of the example of Jesus. How are we travelling with our faith life? How can we improve our spiritual life and our relationship with God? What about our prayer life, worship and praise involvement, level of charity and service to others? We are encouraged to make Lent a special time to reflect on and redirect our lives where necessary so, we are in better alignment of our ways to the values, actions and truths of the Gospel. On Ash Wednesday we conducted our usual Homeroom liturgy, involving the distribution of ashes. Each student was marked on the forehead with the Sign of the Cross in Ashes as part of this prayerful liturgy as a call to ‘Repent and believe in the Good News.”

Launch of Project Compassion 2018 As has been our practice, with the beginning of Lent last week we launched our schoolwide Project Compassion appeal in support of Caritas Australia. Project Compassion is supported by Catholic communities across Australia during Lent to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity. In 2018 the focus is on young people globally and providing them with a just future.

Online safety and countering bullying Given the national spotlight on the impact of cyberbullying in recent weeks, schools have been encouraged to ensure that staff, students and families are reminded about how to use technology in a safe and responsible way. I encourage parents to discuss with their daughter/son how she/he should behave appropriately online and what she/he should do if they are worried about something they see online or something that is sent to them electronically. Our College’s internet and use of electronic devices policies are published in the front of the “Student Planner 2018.” Parents are asked to please read these and discuss them with their daughter/son. A parent and her/his daughter/son are required to sign the planner in the designated place to acknowledge that this has been done. In this way, we are clear as a community about our expectations.

Parent Information Evenings We have conducted Parent Information Evenings for all year levels over the last two weeks. I have received very positive feedback from many parents about the evenings, and I thank all parents who were able to attend for their support of our college. We welcome feedback about College events to continually improving what we offer.

The 2018 Project Compassion theme is: ‘A Just Future’.

You can write, ring (Ph. 52511136) or e-mail the college (info@ignatius.vic.edu.au) any constructive comments.

Money raised for Project Compassion goes towards Caritas Australia’s humanitarian and long-term development programs in 27 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific and with Australia’s First Peoples.

Please address the comments to the chief organiser; in the case of the information evenings this would be the relevant Year Level Coordinator (YLC.)

Last year Project Compassion raised $11 million. Students across the College will be encouraged to donate ‘loose change’ to the Project Compassion Boxes placed in their Homeroom and around the College. This is one way they can support the call to almsgiving during the Lenten period.

Thank you to the YLCs, Ms Tory Wood (7), Ms Deb Hodge (8), Mr Ben Collyer (9), Mr Brendan O’Brien (10), Ms Kristin Williamson (11) and Mr Joe Mclean (12), and their staff teams for providing these evenings.

Beginning of Year Masses Our three opening school Masses (Tuesday 13th February) at St Thomas Church were special opportunities to thank God, pray for God’s blessing on the new school year and encourage students to respond positively to God’s gifts and the opportunities the school year will bring. Thank you to Fr Gerry Healy (Years 8 & 10), Fr Michael Richardson and Fr Gerry Healy (Years 9 & 11) and Fr James Puppady and Fr Charles Balnaves (Years 7 & 12) for celebrating Mass for us. Thank you to Mr Paul Lewis, Mr Brendan Nicholls and our Liturgy Captain, Sophie Thorley, for their work to organise these Masses. Thank you also to Mrs Linda Pape, Ms Marina Brown and our choir students and some musicians who led the singing and music for us.

Youth Mass this Sunday The liturgical year of 2018, beginning on the first Sunday of Advent (3rd December 2017), has been declared by the Australian Bishops as a national Year of Youth. The Year of Youth invites the church into dialogue about the importance and life-giving presence of young people in the Church and society. Last year, Fr James (Parish Priest for Drysdale, Leopold, Portarlington and St Leonards) met with students from his Parish to discuss ways youth can be better involved in the Parish. A survey was conducted as well. A significant initiative arising from this consultation is a monthly ‘Youth Mass.’ The first of these Masses will be held this Sunday at St Thomas Church, Drysdale. The commencement time is 5:30 pm. It would be great to see as many students as possible take this opportunity to nourish their faith and support this Mass.

Parents and Friends’ Association (PFA) The PFA is very positive and important support for our community. They held their first meeting of the year on Tuesday 13th February. I want to recognise the generous and valuable contribution parents can and do make to our school community through membership of this group.

Thank you to all members of this group and in particular the current office bearers:

Thank you for your support in prioritizing the road safety of all those in and around the College.

Ms Rebecca Hay President Ms Cathy Dykes Secretary Ms Sandi Clark Treasurer Ms Lisa Bell Board Representative

Recent construction and maintenance works

Please consider coming along to the next PFA meeting on Tuesday 6th March. Many of the members of this group have given generous service to the school community for a number of years, and it is obviously vital that we have new parents join this group each year to replace those who finish up. So I encourage all parents to please consider joining this group - a strong PFA will strengthen our school community and improve outcomes for all students!

You may have noticed two changes to the College grounds as a result of works that commenced during the summer break and are nearing completion now. Firstly, the installation of a new larger communications mast on top of the Science/Art building to connect the College to Australia’s Academic and Research Network (AARNet.) AARNet will provide us with a very high-speed online network. Thank you to our Director of Infrastructure, Mr Bernie Lowes, Mr Paul James (IT Manager) for their initiative and follow-up coordination of the installation. (Approx. $100,000.)

There are a variety of ways parents can help out. The College canteen helpers are vital to helping us provide a canteen service to our students. Many parents and friends of the College have put their name down to help in the canteen, and I encourage you to consider contacting our Canteen Manager, Mrs Sandra Woodall, to offer your services. Some of the ways the PFA supports our school community include: running fundraisers and social events, helping out at school functions, organizing working bees, encouraging and supporting a sustainable school environment, running a second-hand uniform shop and a second-hand book sale. I ask all parents to please support the PFA where you can, this group’s work benefits all students.

Road Safety

I also express the College’s gratitude to Deakin University for its support of this initiative that will improve the College’s ability to deliver online educational programs and improve teaching and learning for our students.

All drivers travelling to and from our College are reminded of the need to adhere to traffic sign requirements at all times.

Secondly, the installation of ten additional car parking spaces in the Administration carpark and associated landscaping.

To promote safety, I remind our community that the speed limit on Andersons Road is: 40 km/h (morning and afternoon); and 60 km/h (all other times.)

Some of these extra spaces will be reserved for visitors and parents making a quick visit to the office. Thank you to Mr David Fitzgerald and Mr Andrew Humphrey (Grounds & Maintenance) and the Maintenance Team for their coordination and work on this project. (Approx. $35,000)

The speed limit on Peninsula Drive is 40 km/h (all times.) Please approach the intersection of Andersons Road and Peninsula Drive with care and in particular when approaching the school crossing near this intersection. When attending after-hours events at the College, please do not park in the St Thomas Primary School carpark.

Best wishes,

Michael Exton Principal

The Five Steps of the Ignatian ‘Examen’ Prayer Thanks I give thanks for the graces, benefits and good things of my day. Help I ask the Holy Spirit for help to discern my day with openess. Review I review my day, hour by hour, to see how God is working in my life. Response I respond to what I felt or learnt in the review of my day. Resolve I resolve with hope and grace to amend my life tomorrow. ‘Examen’ adaption by Fr. Michael Hansen SJ)

Faith Matters Church Last Tuesday we celebrated our Beginning of Year Masses. As St Thomas church can only accommodate a little over 400 people we offered three masses, with year levels paired together.

The Gospel reading was of the Rich Young Man from Matthew and the homily reminded us as a community of the importance of following Jesus, caring for each other and that a Christian life is sometimes challenged by the many distractions.

We were again fortunate to be led in song by Marina Brown, Linda Pape and the College musicians and choir.

Most importantly we were reminded that our faith is nourished in and by community and that we find God present in all people we meet.

The highlight of the day was the Year 7 and 12 mass in the afternoon where the senior students met with their Year 7 ‘buddy’ prior to the mass and sat with them throughout.

So we enter into this year with a vision of community, a goal of following Jesus and caring for others.

We were very fortunate to have a number of priests concelebrate each mass: Fr Michael Richardson PP, Fr Gerry Healy SJ, Fr James Puppady PP and Fr Charles Balnaves PP all in attendance.

I hope that your children have spoken with you about the wonderful celebration we had and of their inspiration to be active within our community this year. Yours in Christ, Brendan Nicholls Liturgy Coordiantor

WIRED! “The more you Read, the more Things you will know. The more that you Learn, the more Places you’ll go” Dr Seuss

We encourage parents/ guardians to ask their child about the program, discuss what they are reading and their book choices. You may even like to read with your child or recommend titles you feel they may like to read.

The WIRED Literacy Program is a new initiative, between Literacy, Information Learning Centre (ILC), and English, introduced into Year 7 and 8 this year.

Students will keep a reading log which will be monitored and tracked as well as setting a reading goal and reflecting on this goal and their time in WIRED.

We strongly encourage all students to continue to reading outside of the WIRED class. Lesley Falconer Literacy Coordinator Leonie Stephenson Information Learning Centre Coordinator Gemma Etherington English Learning Area Leader

The program has been adapted from St Patrick’s College, Ballarat model in which students are encouraged to read for pleasure, not for marks. The program is designed for teachers to model reading, students to share their reading experiences and to get students to read for pleasure and can create a ‘reading culture’ within our College. As has been advocated through countless studies, reading success is one of the best predictors of potential achievement in all aspects of life. By focusing on this vital skill, we hope to see long lasting positive outcomes for our students’ literacy skills across all curriculum areas and in life. The Aim of WIRED; l

To improve literacy

To improve writing outcomes

To improve vocabulary

To improve concentration skills

l To provide students with their own personal choice to read l To improve understanding of the written form including texts and novels Students will be ably assisted by the ILC staff to ensure they are reading novels that interest them and are also age and reading level appropriate.

New College Website on the way! After six years of service our old website is soon to be replaced with a new one and there are plenty of changes coming. The College website has undergone a total redesign with the new site scheduled to be in place at the end of Term 1. There has been a number of major improvements but one that will be immediately obvious is that the new site will reformat itself to any device, from computer to smart phone, to present the best possible result no matter the screen width. This responsive styling will mean no matter what sort of device you are viewing on you will get easy access to all of the functionality of the website. All of the information on the site is being edited, re-written and re-organised to make it easier to read and navigate for busy parents and to be more in keeping with current online reading trends.

Part of the website upgrade will be an all new ‘Parent Portal’ landing page that will give parents ‘one click’ access to Xuno, CareMonkey and a library of forms and policies than may be needed during the College year. Additionally there will be series of ‘Quick Links’ that, again, will give ‘one click’ access to the most visited areas on the site, quickly and without having to go through a number of pages to find them. The College is currently doing all new photography as part of this update and this will progress over the course of Term and in to Term 2 so that we have a bank of new images that better represent the College as it is today. I personally would like to thank all those students who are giving up there valuable time to achieve this - it is much appreciated. The College calender will also be getting a major upgrade. Parents will be able to see up to 3 months in advance with the College being able to deliver more

information on major events than is currently possible. The delivery of the newsletter is will be getting a major overhaul. Rather than the current ‘book view’ form the new newsletter will appear more like a news website where readers can choose the articles they want to read in any order they choose rather than having to flick through page after page to find what they are looking for. There will be a navigation side bar with the title of each article and the new website architecture will make it easier for us to deliver photo galleries of events covered in the newsletter. In the next few editions of the newsletter I will update our community on further changes and on our progression toward our ‘go live’ date. Tony Berryman-Long Communications Officer

Swimming Carnival Wednesday February 28th There is currently great excitement around the College as the Annual House Swimming Carnival draws closer. This is the first of three whole school sporting events this year. These events provide students with an opportunity to compete against their peers and they assist coaching staff to identify potential members for different sporting teams. By now, students should be familiar with the ‘Age Group’ to which they belong. I have provided all Home Room Teachers with student House allocations for 2018, as well as ‘Age Group’ allocations. They are recorded here for your reference and clarification: 13 Years (Born 2004, 2005) 14 Years (Born 2003) 15 Years (Born 2002) 16 Years (Born 2001) Open Years (Born 2000, 1999, 1998) House Swimming Carnival Event List The Sports Department has finalized the House Swimming program for the Swimming carnival.

The Waterslide will be open at various times for each year level throughout the day Diving Competition: Nomination forms via the ‘Google Docs’ are sent out to students or distributed via the sports office. No student can nominate on the day. Nominations are now OPEN for the Diving Championship event to be held from 11.30am-12.30pm on the day of the sports. Students wishing to be included in the Diving Championship need to fill out a nomination form via a ‘Google Docs’ form sent to student email addresses or via the sports office prior to the day. No student can enter the diving championship without completing the nomination form before Tuesday 27th February. Attendance: There is an expectation that all students will attend the Swimming Carnival. There are many events that cater for all levels of swimmers and if you are not able to get into the pool you will be expected to cheer on your housemates. If students do not attend they are requested to produce a note via their student planner by Friday 2nd March.

Student Travel Arrangements: After the morning Homeroom period, students will board buses to take them to Kardinia Park Pool. All students will return to school by bus in time for the afternoon Homeroom period before being dismissed from school. Variations to Student Travel Arrangements: It is expected that all students will travel to and from school as normal on the day of the Carnival. If a parent/guardian would like to make another arrangement for their daughter/son to leave the pool at the end of the day a note must be provided to the Homeroom teacher prior to Wednesday 28th February. Attire: We ask that students enter into the spirit of the day and dress-up in the colour of their House, to add to the atmosphere. However, students are reminded they are expected to be suitably dressed. No bikinis or low cut board shorts are permitted. Streamers, dyes, body painting, zinc and balloons will not be permitted within the facility. Students are to arrive to school in their PE uniform. Students who wish to get changed into their ‘dress up’outfit are to do so at school. Students may wish to have their swimming outfit underneath their PE uniform or get changed for swimming events at the Kardinia Pool on arrival. Please ensure your daughter/son attends in a “Sunsmart” way sport uniform with hat and sunscreen applied. Photography: As part of the terms and conditions associated with the College hiring the Kardinia Aquatic Centre, we remind both students and parents that any form of “Photography, Video or DVD recording” within the centre is prohibited. Ms Samantha Windmill and Mrs Claire Hewitt will be taking official photos on behalf of the College during the Carnival. Canteen: The canteen will be accessible for students this year at certain times throughout the day. No glass can be brought into the Centre. No food is to be ordered / delivered from ‘outside’ eg pizzas, fish and chips. We trust that all students will have an enjoyable day and make the most of the activities offered.

CLOGS Launch at Saint Ignatius College Afterschool on Monday 19th February, Saint Ignatius hosted the annual CLOGS launch dinner. CLOGS (Catholic Leaders of Geelong Secondary Schools) is a group of students, generally College Captains and College Vice Captains. In previous years the group has worked on events such as the Year 12 Ball, Geelong West Op Shop, Triumph and other community occasions.

College Principals and student leadership coordinators were also in attendance. The launch dinner was a great way to get to know other like-minded people who I am sure we will have great connections with this year, and beyond secondary school. We started off with getting to know each other over dinner, and then moved onto formalities with why we are here and what we expect to achieve this year.

We were very proud to show them around Saint Ignatius and explain the unique nature of our school. We have many great ideas on how we can further connect the four secondary Catholic schools in Geelong, and we are very excited to see what this year brings for the 2018 CLOGS team. Kerry Kingsbury College Captain

Students from each college presented a slideshow of their school’s history, leadership models and traditions.

CLOGS 2018 Picking up & Dropping Off Children around schools For the safety of children, parents are reminded to take care and obey parking signs when picking up or dropping off children around schools. Council’s Parking & Information Officers regularly patrol school areas during start and finish times and motorists detected breaching parking regulations risk being issued with a Penalty Infringement Notice. Remember, as soon as you stop to let your children in or out of the car, you are deemed to be parked.

You do not have to leave your car or turn the engine off to be fined so please ensure you are parked in a legal parking area. At children’s crossings, you must remain stationary at the stop line while any person (including an adult or the supervisor) is on the crossing or the stop sign is displayed. Do not let your child alight at this time, ensure that they wait until you are safely and legally parked.

If you breach a parking regulation the Parking & Information Officer assigned to monitor the crossing will usually record your registration number and details, and the Penalty Infringement Notice will be posted to you within the next three days.

EDUCATION/LEARNING

insights Helping children who struggle with learning by Michael Grose

Parenting is easy when you have a child who is talented and finds learning relatively easy. You can marvel at their performance and feel some measure of parental pride. On the other hand it’s frustrating and, at times, heartbreaking to watch your child struggle to attain even mediocre levels of success at school, in sport or in leisure activities. It’s even more difficult if your child repeats a year of learning. When your child has difficulty at school, your approach as a parent makes huge difference to their self-esteem, the relationship with their teachers and their attitude to learning. Here are some ideas to keep in mind if you are parenting a child for whom success at school, or in other highstatus areas such as sport, just doesn’t come naturally. 1. Avoid using other children as benchmarks Benchmarking your child’s progress against that of other children is not a wise parenting strategy. Inevitably it will lead to frustration as there will always be a child who performs better than your own on any scale you use. Each child has his or her own developmental clock which is nearly impossible to alter. There are slow bloomers, early developers, bright sparks and steady-as-you-go kids in every classroom. It’s the first group that can cause the most concern for parents who habitually compare the slow bloomer to siblings, friends’ kids and even themselves when they were in school. The trick is to focus on your child’s improvement and effort and use their results as a benchmark of progress and development. “Your spelling is better today than it was a little while ago” is a better measure of progress than “Your spelling is the best in the class!” 2. Focus on your child’s talents Be mindful that many successful people including Bill Gates, Richard Branson and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg struggled at school. Traditional learning wasn’t for them. However they each had supportive adults in their lives who helped them find their interests and fostered their talents. Help your child see beyond any limits they put on themselves (“I’m hopeless at school”) to see the many other talents and strengths they have. 3. Develop a growth mindset

We're a Parenting Ideas school

parentingideas.com.au/schools

Recent research shows that people who believe they can increase their intelligence through effort and challenge actually do get smarter and do better in school, work and life over time. It’s exciting to know that your child’s talent and smarts aren’t fixed. Their brain can always learn more, continue to grow and be stretched. Communicate a growth mindset to your kids by focusing your praise more on their level of effort rather than on their natural abilities of talents. Praise the strategies they use and look for opportunities to stretch their capabilities. 4. Be your child’s cheerleader Kids who have to work really hard to achieve need someone in their lives who is able to boost their selfconfidence, particularly when they are struggling. Make a fuss over small successes so your child can puff up their chest every now and then. Many adults find it easy to encourage the kids who do well but baulk at encouraging kids who struggle or find learning difficult. But it’s these children who really need encouragement. As much as humanly possible, comment favourably about your child’s effort, contribution and improvement in all areas of life. You can do it! 5. Increase their time in activities where they experience success As a young teacher I remember when a father banned his son from playing football as his school results were poor. I was incensed. This boy found school learning very difficult and football was one area where he was able to shine. I suggested to the father that his son should spend more time, not less, playing football, as this was the activity where he experienced the most success. Children who struggle at school benefit from spending more time in environments where they feel confident and capable, as those feelings can eventually transfer over to other areas – including the classroom. 6. Be mindful that persistence pays off Children who have to work hard and persist learn an important life lesson: that success in most endeavours takes effort. Those kids who sail through their childhoods without raising a sweat can struggle when eventually they do have to work long and hard to succeed. Raising kids who find life a breeze is easy. However, parenting kids who take longer to mature, or kids that must put in a 110% effort to achieve, is challenging for any parent. Parenting a child who struggles, or has to repeat a year level, requires you to develop a growth mindset, focus on kids’ strengths, be liberal with encouragement and have realistic but positive expectations for success.
