A Message From Edmund Rice Education Australia Edmund Rice Education Australia embraces 47 Catholic schools in the Edmund Rice tradition in every state and territory of Australia. This network of schools continues to value the extraordinary opportunities afforded to thousands of young people as each of these schools continues to challenge their students to make a difference in their world. This is being achieved through a multiplicity of experiences which are embraced by the four Touchstones of our Charter: Gospel Spirituality, Liberating Education, Inclusive Community and Justice and Solidarity. It is heartening to continually witness faithfulness and passion to our Charter as the varied expressions of these Touchstones are being lived out in our schools. It is also heartening to acknowledge the continued mission of our 24 Associate Catholic schools in the Edmund Rice tradition who through their past connections with the Edmund Rice story and the Christian Brothers have embraced elements on our Charter Touchstones with similar passion and commitment. This combination of school networks enables wonderful opportunities for sharing in the vision and mission of Catholic education throughout all of our Australian states and territories.
with the associated sadness that some of our schools have had to bear. We give gratitude for all of those experiences which have brought you many blessings throughout the year.Your role in Catholic education and Edmund Rice Education Australia is applauded and we offer you our sincere and heartfelt thanks for your contribution to the development of the lives our young people. We will continue to support your efforts as you endeavour to bring the Gospel to life in ways that are unique in your school community. We offer you our warmest congratulations and sincere thanks for the contribution you have so freely afforded to Catholic education and for your faithfulness in living out our Charter. We continue to offer our support and best wishes to your community for a future that is both challenging and hope-filled. Wayne Tinsey - Executive Director Edmund Rice Education Australia
We congratulate you on the significant achievements with their associated joy and excitement that have occurred during the past year. We also acknowledge the trials and disappointments 1

This has been possible through work undertaken by former student Br Russell Peters who resides in Nairobi but is a frequent visitor to Uganda.” - Paul Tobias

The College enrolment for 2013 was 1540 students. The demand for places has continued to strengthen to such an extent that the decision has been taken to increase our Year 7 enrolment in 2014 in order to accommodate the large number of Catholic boys in our feeder primary schools. Our VCE results for the year were as follows: in 2013 10.4% of VCE students achieved an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank in excess of 90 and the Dux of the College was Ignatius Rudd, with an ATAR of 99.45. In addition to VCE, the College has continued to promote alternative pathways so that all senior students have appropriate courses of study. To our Year 12 students your secondary education has come to an end and you are about to commence a journey beyond St Joseph’s. I suggested on the occasion of the Year 12 Graduation Eucharist that two things are going to help determine the success of the journey ahead.The first was optimism.The capacity to see the goodness and potential in yourself and others. The second critical quality was resilience. The capacity to recover from a serious setback when things don’t go according to plan. If we are looking for an outstanding example of resilience we don’t need to look very far. Brennan Houghton was diagnosed with a tumour in Year 7 and as we have all witnessed, he has consistently and courageously faced many setbacks and against all adversity, managed to attend our College Graduation Mass. Brennan and his family are an inspiration to all of us. The Joseph Innovation Trade Training Centre was completed during the year on time and on budget. This federally funded facility will host Furnishings, Building & Construction, Carbon Management, Allied Health and Electro Technology courses during the 2014 academic year. The centre was formally opened on 22 November by Senator the Hon Michael Ronaldson and blessed by Reverend Father Kevin Dillon. I acknowledge the cooperation evident amongst our cluster partners Clonard College, Sacred Heart College and MacKillop School. The cluster students are fortunate to have the use of such and excellent facility. As mentioned in last year’s report, the purchase of the
former Minerva Road campus of Western Heights College will provide us with the opportunity to relieve some of the pressure on the Newtown campus. The site was purchased in 2012 and much work has been undertaken this year in preparation for the commencement of next year. The campus was formally named ‘Westcourt’ in honour of the birth place of Edmund Rice. After extensive refurbishment, the campus will offer extensive and shaded external synthetic playing areas, five double classrooms as well as specialist spaces catering for physical education, food technology, art, media, woodwork and science. We hope to formally open the campus on St Joseph’s Day 2014. Throughout the year staff have been planning an engaging and innovative curriculum and both parents and students have been enthusiastic about the possibilities at Westcourt. Community service and outreach programs have continued to be important elements of life at St Joseph’s for parents, staff and students. The College has strived to provide strong support for the Edmund Rice Foundation which in turn assists education and health programs in nine countries (Australia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, East Timor, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana and South Sudan). Special projects have been undertaken in East Timor with the assistance of former College Principal, Mr Peter Cannon. Some 100 laptops were re-imaged and distributed throughout various ministries in Timor. One of the most exciting new projects has been the provision of money to build a community centre in a poor village in Uganda. This has been possible through work undertaken by former student Br Russell Peters who resides in Nairobi but is a frequent visitor to Uganda. Our initial involvement in Uganda was directed at the town of Mannya but after supporting several projects, we set about to find another village we could help. Br Russell nominated the village of Kiziba, which is about 25k east of Mannya, as in need of significant assistance. $10,000 of the $45,000 raised during Edmund Rice Day was devoted to this cause. Our Year 12 students will further assess progress when they travel to Uganda during December. Our students, staff and parents have been involved in many community projects throughout the year. This has included partnerships with a variety of other organisations. One significant new venture has been an ongoing involvement with the Geelong Deanery in assisting at Samaritan House for homeless
Principal’s Report men. The Parents & Friends once again conducted a number of fundraising events throughout the year. The largest and most successful of these was the Annual Fashion Parade, this year held at The Hill Winery. $17,000 was raised on this evening for projects in Africa. We were fortunate to have Fr Nestus, Parish Priest of Mannya in Uganda, as our special guest speaker. The 2013 Student Leaders were again critical in establishing an appropriate student culture throughout the College. Their support of International Day against Homophobia made it clear they were committed to making St Joseph’s an even more inclusive and safe environment for all students. The Winter Ball organized by the Year 12 leaders along with the Girls and Boys Night In run by the VCAL class, raised $15,000 for cancer research which are excellent examples of what is possible when motivated St Joseph’s students work together. This year EREA (Edmund Rice Education Australia) undertook a formal school renewal at St Joseph’s, which is an ongoing reflection on the authenticity of our College as a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice Tradition. Significant commendations arising from the Renewal Report are: • The way in which the mission of St Joseph’s as a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition is understood by leadership, Board and staff; • The commitment to inclusivity in the College, particularly through the determination to maintain an affordable fee structure; • The range of pathways available to students; • The support to students with special learning needs, and the Ad Alta program for disenfranchised Year 10 students; • The provision of on site professional development to RE teachers; • The pastoral care structures and processes which ensure a high level of individual care within this very large school; • The environment of ongoing renewal as evident through annual planning and report processes which focus on innovation and improvement; • The increased enrolment of Indigenous students; • The use of Restorative Justice practices in
resolving conflict and building relationships; • The iconography and graphics around the school emphasizing identity, culture and community. Some of the recommendations arising are to: • Reflect on ways in which St Joseph’s College can further enrich the broader Edmund Rice Education community; • Review processes of induction and formation for support staff; • Take opportunities to raise the level of familiarity with the Touchstones of the Charter for staff, students and parents; • Continue to look for ways to support teachers in embracing contemporary pedagogy, particularly in the areas of differentiated curriculum and e-learning; • Look for further ways to proactively develop relationships with parishes and Catholic primary schools; • Review the structures necessary to effectively support an increasingly broad service learning program. It was very clear once the review had been completed that the four touchstones of Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice tradition are the lived experience of our College Community. The College Board has navigated a variety of challenges for the year, especially around the Trade Training Centre and the purchase and refurbishment of the Westcourt Campus. This year Mr Chris Caldow, will be leaving the board to take up an appointment as Principal of Penola Catholic College in Glenroy. Chris has been a conscientious board member for the past 4 years and we wish him well in his new position and thank him sincerely for all he has given our Board, his time and expertise. The other significant resignation is that of Wayne Tattersall. Wayne has been a member of the board for seven years, one of those years as Deputy Chair and three years as Chairperson. Wayne has also been a member of our Board Sub Committee – the Finance and Planning Committee for five years, three of those as Chair and he will continue on that committee. I am grateful to Wayne for his outstanding contribution to the development of our College and wish him well for the future. I take this opportunity to thank all of our board members for their hard work and dedication in attending meetings, sharing their

expertise and for their loyalty and support throughout this year. Similarly I’d like to thank all of our College Committees/ Associations comprising Finance & Planning Committee, Foundation Committee, Old Collegians, Parents & Friends, Josephines, Men’s Association, Care Group and all parents and families involved in any way at St Joseph’s in 2013. We are envied by many schools for our overwhelming parental involvement and support. To this end I acknowledge the wonderful contribution of our Development Office Manager, David Formosa and his team who work closely with a number of these groups, coordinating meetings and gatherings, nurturing and supporting them in sharing their talents and friendships to produce amazing outcomes for our College community. Thank you all. Our College Management Team which includes, Deputy Principals - Claire Brown and Paul Clohesy, Director of Mission – Jo Hart, Director of Curriculum – Michelle Brodrick and Business Manager – Terry Fowler have worked diligently throughout the year, robustly challenging and supporting all that is St Joseph’s College. I appreciate all that they bring and share on our Management Team. To all of our hardworking staff members at St Joseph’s, both teaching and administration/grounds staff, I extend my deep gratitude for your loyalty and diligence in making our College the best Catholic College it can be. Your care of our students, families and each other is so vital to our authenticity and makes us who we are in the wider community. The many hours of work, meetings, out of school hours functions and generosity of spirit is sincerely appreciated. To my two Personal Assistants, Maureen Bryant and Adel Mawson, I thank you for helping me through yet another year. My sincere thanks go to all our College staff members. This year we say farewell to a number of staff members who are leaving us taking a new direction in their lives. On behalf of the St Joseph’s Community I sincerely thank Linda Bentley, Year 7 Level Coordinator and dedicated teacher for 15 years. Linda came to us from Chanel College and we appreciate all that she has shared with our community. To Janet Sgambaro, College Registrar, I thank her for her tireless work in welcoming all of our new families and students over 13 years with us. During that time our enrolment numbers have increased dramatically. Janet’s warmth, meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for all
that is St Joseph’s will be truly missed. Brendan Nicholls has been our Senior Student Leadership Coordinator and teacher over 6 years and has worked closely with students to encourage them in all areas of leadership and involvement throughout the College, remodeling our Adam Bryant House Shield competition and genuinely caring for and guiding our students in all areas. Brendan was also instrumental in establishing our gardening Patch with our Applied Science Students. To Maureen Zampatti, who leaves us after 18 years as a greatly valued staff member. Maureen is our Music Assistant who has shared her talents and drive in many ways, not only playing music, but helping and encouraging hundreds of our students to achieve the best they possibly could in all areas of Music and life in general. Maureen’s deceased husband Russell is legendary at our College and so much so that we named our main oval in honour of Russell for his tremendous loyalty and dedication to all that is St Joseph’s. Whilst we say farewell to Maureen she will continue as a member of our Foundation Committee and be involved where ever she can. Realistically the Zampatti family will never leave St Joseph’s as their deep connection and love of the College over many years, will live on here in this place forever. To all staff finishing this year I extend my deep appreciation for all you have brought to our College and wish you happiness and success in all that you do. As you can see, 2013 has been a huge year for our College and I thank all our families, students, staff and the wider community for being such an important part of our College. Our Mission Statement shared vision is alive and well at St Joseph’s as witnessed in the above – “We are a community committed to continue education in the Catholic tradition through the example of Jesus Christ, our beginning and end. Moved by the story of Edmund Rice and inspired by the gospel values of love and justice, we encourage one another to “strive for the highest”, to develop and use our talents and abilities and to respect and show compassion towards others. Through the development of partnerships we show that we value the contribution of students, staff and families, past and present. In our service to the wider community we see our school as being a place of hope and encouragement in our world today.” I wish God’s blessings for you and all you love, Paul Tobias

This year has been extremely busy with quite a few significant events taking place. As our school’s last full EREA School Review was held in 2007, we were scheduled for another review this year. It was held by a panel of three representatives from EREA and consisted of comprehensive interviews with College parents, students, teachers, management and board members over a couple of days.
Another major enhancement to our College in 2013 was the renovation and upgrade of our new Year 9 Westcourt campus, which will be open for classes in 2014. The College has invested significantly in this campus and it will create wonderful opportunities for our Year 9 students to enjoy a unique experience through their middle years of secondary education. I would like to say a special thank you to our College Business Manager, Terry Fowler, for his tireless work in getting this major project completed on time.
On a personal note, I advise that after seven years on the College Board I find it’s time for me to step down. I’ve found this time to be rewarding and fulfilling as much work has been undertaken across all areas of the College. My wife Sharon and I started our association with St Joseph’s in 2006 with the enrolment of our son Dylan, and now he is completing his Year 12 studies. I say thank you and farewell. It’s been an honour and a privilege to be involved with such a great school with so many good people.
“The panel from EREA also attended one of our monthly board meetings and there was quite an interactive discussion around how our College fits the four touchstones of EREA Education – Liberating Education, Inclusive community, Gospel Spirituality, Justice and Solidarity.” - Wayne Tattersall
Throughout the course of the year, there have been several meetings with EREA over a range of topics. These include discussion around ongoing corporate governance, the status of EREA as a Public Juridical Person as approved by Rome, and other administrative issues within the EREA Network of Schools.
In conclusion, I also want to thank our Principal Paul Tobias, Deputies Paul Clohesy and Claire Brown, Business Manager Terry Fowler, Assistants Maureen Bryant & Adel Mawson, College Leaders and fellow Board Members for their willingness to make this College the success that it is.

College Captains Report “It is only now that my time at the College is drawing to an end that it has dawned upon me how fortunate I was to be able to attend St Joseph’s College Geelong.” - Jake Sykes
Well what a year it has been, for the Year 7s it was the start of something new with the beginning of their high schooling lives, and for the Year 12s it was the ending of a journey which has carried us six years together in an experience that will never be forgotten. The beginning of a new chapter in the College’s history will begin next year with the opening of the new Westcourt Campus in which the 2014 Year 9 cohort will operate from. It is only now that my time at the College is drawing to an end that it has dawned upon me how fortunate I was to be able to attend St Joseph’s College Geelong. The values and culture of the College is something that truly can only be experienced by the students and staff that witness the running’s of the school from day to day. From the annual athletics and swimming sports, down to the community work that student’s participate in it is a sight to behold the comradery present within the Joey’s walls. For myself, the journey throughout the year has been one which I am very grateful to have been a part of. Highlights have included the annual World’s Greatest Shave, Forty Hour Famine and The Cage which as usual ran smoothly as a result of the hard work of the students and teachers involved. 2013 was also the first year which the Mid-Winter Ball ran. It comprised of Year 12 students from the four Catholic colleges coming together to raise awareness for mental health, the night was an overwhelming success with well in excess of $4000 raised for Headspace. I would like to take this time to thank the leadership team of 2013 who have put in many hours and given up countless lunchtimes to help contribute to the College. I have also been fortunate enough to work alongside our leadership coordinator Mr Brendan Nichols, someone who I hold in high regard and wish him the best of luck into his teaching future. Finally to Jakeb and Lachie whom I have got to know during the past 12 months, I couldn’t have asked for any better people to work with and I know that both men will go forward into the post schooling lives and achieve great things.

If I can leave the College with one final message it is this; utilize the resources and opportunities that the College presents you with. It is up to you to make with your time at St Joseph’s what you will. I wish everyone in our College community the best of luck into the future. Jake Sykes - 2013 College Captain
Major Building Works WESTCOURT CAMPUS Last year, the College purchased half of the former Western Heights College, Minerva Road Campus. The total Campus area is 3 hectares, with St Joseph’s purchasing the southern portion and Clonard College the northern. Both Colleges are using the space for their own independant programs. Oval space is located at the rear of the campus, so there will be generous recreational space for all. We have named this new campus,Westcourt Campus, which is the name of the birthplace of Edmund Rice, the founder of the Christian Brothers. In 2011 a committee was formed to develop a program tailored to the needs of our Year 9 students. Members of the committee visited more schools, both Catholic and Government, with alternate Year 9 programs. An early decision was made to have a strong focus on literacy and numeracy in our program, along with some exciting new activities and different approaches to teaching and learning. Some of the significant benefits for the boys will include the opportunity to develop strong relationships with a dedicated group of staff who will work exclusively with the Year 9s, more in depth learning and a more hands on approach Building works have progressed well on the site with extensive repair and renovation work being conducted throughout the Campus and the surrounding grounds. The innovative classrooms with their bright furniture and open spaces will no doubt be exciting for the 2014 Year 9 cohort. We are very excited about this new venture and see it as an opportunity to challenge the Year 9 boys, enhance their learning experience and to consolidate and further develop the skills and attitudes needed for their senior years.

Foundation Report “Growth has also come in the form of students with enrollments set to exceed the 1600 mark in 2014. A remarkable book mark in the History of our great College.” - Peter Rudd
2013 has been a year of growth, not only for the Foundation but also for St Joseph’s College. Two new and exciting projects for the school have been the completion of the Trade Training Centre, and the development of the Westcourt Year 9 Campus on Minerva Road. These two developments are a clear indicator that St Joseph’s College is continually looking to add another dimension to boys’ education within the region. The College Board and Management Team should be congratulated on these fine achievements. Growth has also come in the form of students with enrollments set to exceed the 1600 mark in 2014. A remarkable book mark in the History of our great College. Similar growth can be clearly seen within our College Foundation. From its humble beginning in 1995, where the need to engage the community was paramount to its charter; to today, where engagement is still our basis, but a clear emphasis on support for the College. The Foundation realises the need to grow and evolve, to ensure it is prominent in the day to day activities at the school. The Upstart Entrepreneurial Challenge has helped the Foundation not only engage with students, but with industry. The Upstart Challenge has once again exceeded all expectations and has provided students with an insight into what it takes to be an Entrepreneur. The Competition saw the development of ideas and the interaction between students and mentors.
a dedicated Legacy Coordinator. Susan Belluzzo, who is also the College Archivist, will be the Foundation Legacy Coordinator. Susan’s role will involve building relationships with various groups and supporters of the College.The Legacy program is an important part of the Foundation’s charter. The Foundation also took another big step with its investment portfolio, by purchasing a second investment property. The purchase of 5 Yarra Street Geelong continues to consolidate the financial position of the Foundation and the College. 2013 saw the resignation of Rob Threlfall from the Foundation Committee. Rob has been a hard working member of the committee and his contribution and professionalism will be greatly missed. The strength and popularity of the College is underpinned by the extremely hardwork undertaken by the Foundation along with the other volunteer groups of the College. The Old Collegians, Parents and Friends, Josephines and Men’s Association provide incredibly valuable support to the school, and all go hand in hand, in making St Joseph’s College the wonderful school that it is. Sincere thanks to our Principal Mr. Paul Tobias, for his ongoing support; to our support staff David Formosa, Lauren Salcombe, and Natasha Solczaniuk To the St Joseph’s Community, best wishes for the path ahead. Peter Rudd - Foundation Chairman
The culmination of The Upstart Challenge happened at the Foundation Dinner, which was held at The Davidson Restaurant. Old Collegian Josh Rudd spoke about his journey as a student, to this day, heading one of the country’s large clothing brands - Ghanda. Guests were then treated to nine entrepreneurial pitches from both staff and students. The presenters of the pitches were attempting to convince the judges that their idea was the next big thing. In the hope that they would be one of the three winners of the $1000 cash prize plus an iPad. The Foundation also announced the appointment of

Josephines We’ve had another wonderful year with our Josephines and two annual gatherings. The first at Lyndon Grove on Wednesday 27 May for dinner. The room was abuzz with friends old and new catching up and sharing stories with 78 guests attending. We were warmly welcomed and were treated to a delicious meal. Principal, Paul Tobias commenced proceedings by thanking us for our ongoing support of the College. Mark Turner, Educational Support Coordinator, reiterated introduced Jess Crucitti, a past student, who spoke of his life’s journey as a student with autism at St Joseph’s. He told of his hard work and the great support given to him from College staff and of course his family. Jess spoke of his ambition to get a full time job possibly working in the electrical industry, as well as being a Geelong Football League boundary umpire being selected to umpire in the finals for that competition. Jess’ final remark was that his life is great and he looks forward to everyday. His autism has never held him back but instead, has made him and those around him better people. Jess thanked our Josephine’s for attending and in turn helping boys like himself. All present were moved by Jess’ story, determination and positive outcome. The roving microphone was passed around the room with guests telling us news from their families. Sharryn Shaw had a particularly interesting story about her daughter’s amazing wedding in America. It was lovely to have Pat Bourke attend. Pat is a past parent, long-serving staff member and volunteered in our College Uniform Shop. Pat has been coping with health issues, so it was extra special to welcome her and daughter Julie. As it was around Easter time, we managed a short Easter egg hunt and spot prizes for the ladies, it was a fun filled evening. Our Spring Lunch held on 9 October saw us travel to Terindah Estate. First, we enjoyed a catch up drink in the Barry McFarlane pavilion, where David Formosa, Development Manager welcomed guests, Mark Turner thanked the Josephines once again for supporting of the Educational Support Program. Kylie Pretty, English and Religious Education Teacher, outlined a Skills for Life Program that has been running for 3 years. Students work with Kylie one period a week and use iPads purchased for this program to assist
boys with spelling, writing and oral language. This equipment was funded by our Josephines’. Kylie gave some great feedback from her students.Three funded students have been volunteering once a week at a not for profit fruit and vegie shop in Norlane called 2 & 5. Our goal for these boys is for them to gain experience in a supported work environment so they can apply for part time jobs. On our bus trip to Terindah Estate, the ladies played bingo, which was a lot of fun. Marj McElligott and Glenys Bath were both winners. Before long we reached our destination set amongst rolling hills and vineyards overlooking Corio Bay, a truly beautiful setting. Following our yummy lunch, Paul Tobias gave an overview of what has taken place in our College over the year and of the new and exciting developments that are underway. Kate announced two special celebrations for some Josephines, the 80th birthday of Kath O’Brien and the 50th Wedding Anniversary of Elaine and Jim Machar recently. Our 62 guests shared news including Sharryn Shaw who gave an update from her earlier story and is now looking forward to being a grandma! There were some lucky prize draws, thanks to Terindah who generously donated a $100 dinner voucher and 2 wine packs. This year our Josephine’s Group has raised just over $1000 towards our Educational Support Program for students with special needs helping many young boys at St Joseph’s College. Thank you, past and present mums, staff and friends, for your continued support and friendship. Thank you to Natasha Solczaniuk - Events Coordinator and David Formosa Development Manager for their invaluable assistance in organising our events this year and for monitoring our ever growing data base. Special thanks are also extended to Lauren Salcombe, for creatively preparing all our correspondence and constantly supporting us in all we do. For those in our community who have experienced difficult times, illness and loss throughout the year please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and we are all just a phone call away.We will continue this tradition of gathering twice a year and warmly welcome past mums, staff and friends to join us. Thank you all for being a part of our Josephines in 2013.

Parents & Friends “Our final event for the year was a fun, food filled day especially for the boys, the Food Frenzy. It certainly was a frenzy of activity preparing food for 1500 boys with seemingly insatiable appetites!” - Jackie Richards
The Parents and Friends primary focus is on being the link between the school and its parent community.We aim to make St Joseph’s a place where parents feel welcomed and are able to contribute in a meaningful way. Importantly, we also plan fundraisers, and events raising money for the school, or Africa and to benefit the boys. Being part of such a large secondary school community, can have its challenges for parents wanting to be involved but we try to be a welcoming and friendly group which is open to everyone. Events are planned and run by small sub-committees and there is always a need for extra helpers during the planning stage or on the day. Earlier this year we held two movie nights at Reading Cinemas in Waurn Ponds. Over 320 people enjoyed ‘The Great Gatsby’ the spectacle of this famous book brought to life on screen. A second movie night followed in Term 2, the new Superman movie, ‘Man of Steel’. This action packed film was enjoyed by around 130 people. In May, the Parents and Friends once again provided the catering for the Old Collegians’ Annual Reunion with over 300 old boys in attendance. The food was gratefully savoured by those catching up with old mates and reliving school memories. Thanks to those who gave up their evening to prepare serve it all to the masses! This year we decided to make a change to a regular event. The Art Expo has been held at the school for many years to showcase the work of many local artists. A decision was made to expand on this theme to include craft and gourmet food with the hope of making this event more appealing. So on a cold weekend in July, the inaugural ‘Artisan Market’ was held. Over 50 stalls were set up in the warm, dry gymnasium and over two days nearly 1600 people came to browse the great variety on offer.We received wonderful feedback so we are planning on making this event bigger and better in 2014! Many thanks to the sub-committee for their time, and to all those who volunteered to help out over the weekend. The annual Fashion Show is an event eagerly anticipated by many and this year, held out at the beautiful Hill winery, didn’t disappoint. Around 300 guests enjoyed a drink whilst browsing retail stalls and our silent auction, before being ushered into the wine vat area (providing a unique atmosphere) beside a T-shaped catwalk. Fashions from various local stores

were paraded by models of all ages and sizes. Casual, elegant, race day attire and bridal were some of the clothes on display. The models were fabulous with professional hair and make-up and choreographed to a high standard. We were joined by Father Nestus from Mannya in Uganda who spoke passionately about his people and how money from events like this helps to make a difference to their lives and futures. Over $17,000 was raised on the night. Congratulations and thank you to the very hardworking sub-committee and to everyone who volunteered their time, skills and energies to make this such a successful event. Our final event for the year was a fun, food filled day especially for the boys, the Food Frenzy. It certainly was a frenzy of activity preparing food for 1500 boys with seemingly insatiable appetites! Hot dogs, pizza, egg and bacon rolls, hamburgers, pies, cakes, lollies and more were eagerly devoured. Thanks to the army of volunteers who worked tirelessly throughout the day to feed the ravenous hoardes! An initiative the parents and friends are very proud to provide, is a basic CPR first aid course which is offered to Year 12 students.This year 33 boys took the opportunity to gain this valuable life saving knowledge. This year we have been able to raise around $37,000. A tremendous result, testament to the hard work of the committee and everyone who gave their time to help out in any way and to all those who came along or supported our events. Apart from the money raised by the Fashion Show, the remainder of these funds will be used to support the bursary program and be of direct benefit to the students by helping fund a shelter on O’Driscol Oval as well as other projects throughout the campus. The P&F meets once a month in the school staff room. We hold relaxed meetings where new ideas and new faces are always welcome. David Formosa helps to keep us all on track as we discuss how we can help foster our school community, raise funds and assist the school in many ways. If you’d like to join us, don’t hesitate to come along. Or maybe you’d prefer to receive our monthly minutes or P&F updates via email and volunteer your time or expertise when you have the chance? If you’d like to be involved, you can, in whatever capacity you like. All assistance is greatly appreciated. Jackie Richards - Parents and Friends President
Old Collegians’ Association 2013 was a year of change for the Old Collegians Association. Long serving President Peter Madden stepped down from his position as president and committee member. A huge thank you to Peter Madden for the time and effort he has put in as President of the Old Collegians Association. Peter’s dedication to the group has been second to none. Thank you Peter for all of your efforts. At the AGM of 2013 the following committee was elected: Justin O’Brien - President, John Fitzgerald – Senior Vice President, Tom Bennett – Junior Vice President, Sam O’Dwyer – Treasurer, Nick Jahnecke – Administrative Officer, Joe Virgona, Dean Bushell, Roger Hardwick, Jane Littore, David McCusker, Greg Thompson Andrew Conte, Sam Hopgood, Nick Cooper as General Committee. On Sunday 10 February the Annual St Joseph’s College Old Collegians Golf Day was held at 13th Beach Golf Links Barwon Heads. 200 players took to the beautifully maintained Links course in an Ambrose style team competition. In what were near perfect conditions, some teams burnt up the course, others made extremely hard work of the day. A most enjoyable day was had by all who took part.
filled with great memories and laughs from times past. In July the SJOCA held a Reunion for those who attended the College prior to 1970. Over 100 past students took the opportunity to visit the College for a tour and some lunch. Some who attended hadn’t been back to SJC for over 30 years. The Melbourne Reunion was held in October at the Emerald Hotel South Melbourne. Over 40 past students attended and made a great night of it. Many thanks to Jane Lewis and her staff at the Emerald for a great night. Thanks also to Joseph Boonen (Br Ben) for taking some wonderful photos on the night. The Mass for Deceased Old Collegians, Staff and Benefactors was held in November in the College Chapel. Fr Matthew Thomas celebrated the mass with us. During this Mass the deceased were remembered and afterwards those in attendance enjoyed afternoon tea in the College staffroom. Thank you to all committee members for their dedicated commitment to the Association and to St Joseph’s.
“2013 saw a major revamp of the Reunion program for the Old Collegians.The introduction of the Pre 1970 Reunion and the Melbourne Reunion, added another dimension to the networking opportunities for past students of the College.” - Justin O’Brien

Overall winners on the day were the team comprising of Rob Threlfall, Glen Anderson, Mathew Leigh, Adrian Buckley and Tim Dobbyn.

Mens Association “The Carey Oval embankment always presents a challenge and all volunteers sent down there to “tame the beast”, as one dad describes it, always return exhausted and ready for a well deserved beer.” - Pierre Belluzzo
I would like to thank all the men who have assisted me in maintaining the College this year. They are very valuable assets to the College; we run a roster of four teams during the school term and each team averages nine working bees a year. Since taking over the role of Property Manager I have been privileged to work with all the great volunteers in all four teams. Due to the great response each week we have been able to accomplish a lot of the tasks required in the two hours on Sunday mornings, such as full school assembly setup in the gym and mowing the lawns around the College. The Carey Oval embankment always presents a challenge and all volunteers sent down there to “tame the beast”, as one dad describes it, always return exhausted and ready for a well deserved beer. Another challenge is the setup and pack up for the Artisan Market (formerly the Art Expo) this always occurs after hours, so after a hard days work the volunteers arrive to setup the stands and on Sunday evening work until the stands are packed away and the gym floor is cleaned, both working bees are always well represented with man power. I would like to specially thank my team Captains Rohan Crowe, our new President of the Mens Association, Des Nolan, Danny Sheedy, Paul Slattery and David Cogan for their support and guidance on their respective working bees - they all can also cook a mean snag. Thank you for another great year. Pierre Belluzzo
CARE GROUP Our Care Group was formed to assist families during times of crisis (eg. illness or bereavement). Each year this group has done wonderful work supporting those in our community when they are most in need. Last year was an extremely sad year for our College with a number of parents and staff illness and bereavements. We have been able to assist approximately 10 families throughout the year, with approximately 70 meals supplied. The families we are able to help are most appreciative of the support the College can offer through this group. A number of these families have received ongoing help to ensure there is a meal for their family as they cope with complex and long term illness. We sincerely thank our wonderful band of volunteer cooks / helpers who have prepared and provided many meals for others throughout last year. We wish all our families good health, love and happiness for the Christmas and New Year season and look forward to your ongoing support in 2014. Anne Ross & Sharon Lane - Care Group Coordinators We would like to acknowledge the work of our coordinators Anne Ross and Sharon Lane and their band of helpers who provided many meals during the course of 2013. As the year comes to an end, we would like to acknowledge the contribution both Anne and Sharon have made over the last 5 years. Sharon is stepping down from her coordinators role with her son Jacob completing Year 12 this year and we note Lachlan finished in 2009. We would like to thank Sharon for being an important part of the St Joseph’s College Care Group and extend every good wish to Sharon, Greg and their family for the future. Thank you so much for your support. Paul Tobias - Principal

Setting up the gym
From the Archives It has been a very eventful year in the College Heritage Centre with major changes to the structure and layout of the Centre. Much has been accomplished with the help of my volunteers, who have helped with the task of sorting through boxes, some treasures have been found, some are still missing, such as the Edmund Rice Relic, I have found information that refers to it, but so far I have not managed to locate the Relic, every time a box is opened I anticipate finding it,. I hope one day it will be included in the display.
Part of the Cadet Display
Another treasure which, I found buried in a drawer is the pictured OBE, which was donated by the O’Connor Family. The accompanying Certificate is missing, so I am unable to provide any other details, Future goals for the Heritage Centre include, digital hopefully it will be discovered soon. displays, digital access to all of the Virtus’, a Time Line of the College History, displays relating to the Chapel Thanks to the College Foundation and Old Collegians, and the other historical College Buildings. the reading room now has blinds, which means I will now be able to set up more displays and hang more Much of the College Heritage resides in the old photographs. buildings, they are tangible evidence of the life and growth of the College, and I would like to raise awareness of the history of the individual buildings. I would like to install small displays with photographs and a brief history of what the buildings and some of the rooms were used for.
One of many photo treasures that have been sorted in the Archives, the 1908 Calisthenics Class from St Augustines The Chapel circa 1960’s

Year 7 “Camp this year was AWESOME! It was held out in Myrniong YMCA camp near Bacchus March. Some of the features were: A flying fox, mountain bike riding and laser tag. It’s fair to say that everyone’s favourite activity by far was laser tag.” - Year 7 Leaders

THE MILLENNIUM BABIES HAVE ARRIVED! The Year 7s of 2013 arrived and with a bit of Maths we worked out these boys were born in or near the Millennium – they are special! The boys have been exceptional and have proven themselves to be generous, kind and loyal to each other. Beginning secondary school is a milestone in life and the boys have risen to the challenge with great resilience and positivity. This is my final year as Year 7 coordinator and I will leave the College with the most amazing memories of not only this cohort but the many who have begun their years here under my care. With every blessing for now and the coming years. Linda Bentley - Year 7 Coordinator STUDENT LEADERS REPORT We only get to start high school once and luckily it was worth it at Joeys. It was nervous for everyone but the teachers and staff supported when making new friends and showed us how to move around this new environment. Starting at St Joseph’s was a great experience for all of us and we look forward to the years to come. 2013 has been a great year and very different from primary school such as moving from class to class and also the number of kids at the school. We have made many new friends over this year. There have been many different opportunities to become involved in the community by either helping others or donating some money. The biggest of these are the Winter Sleep Out, where you had to sleep out to raise money and awareness for homelessness, the Silver Coin trail, where we raised money to go to Caritas and the Breaky club where a group of students went to a school to make breakfast for kids who can’t afford breakfast before they come to school. One of the best days this year was the Beach Bonanza It was in the first few weeks of Term 1, so it was a new experience that really excited us. It was so much fun and it’s a really great way to make new friends. Coming on the first day and knowing nobody can be daunting, and the Beach Bonanza day really helps everyone get to know each other. The different subjects that we have had this year have been engaging and interesting. Subjects like Science,
Food Tech, Music and Band were fun and occasionally more interesting than the general curriculum subjects such as English and Maths. Homeroom was an experience, for all of us it was the base point of our school friends and our learning. Camp this year was AWESOME! It was held out in Myrniong YMCA camp near Bacchus March. Some of the features were:A flying fox, mountain bike riding and laser tag. It’s fair to say that everyone’s favourite activity by far was laser tag.The food there was extraordinarily delicious and the staff was so nice. The camp was not only fun but it helped people make new friends, which is really important at school.All the students enjoyed it and wished that they could stay there forever. In the first half of the year we had a competition between the Homeroom classes each Friday at lunch. There would be a different activity to compete in each week, if you came first you would get three points if you came second you would get two if you came third you would get one point. You could also get bonus points for listening and for being fair. At the end of the 7E won the title. It was overall an enjoyable experience! The Cyber Cats programme is a program that helps show awareness for the cyber world. It was a great day and a real eye opener for us as we learnt how to be safe online. We ended up making a movie about all the difficulties and the struggles of the Cyber World. In Term 3 our school was lucky enough to have a visit from Daniel Morecombe’s parents Bruce and Denise. It was an experience that changed the way we look at things. Bruce gave us tips on what to do if something goes wrong. Denise explained how Daniel went missing and how it changed her life forever. On behalf of all the Year 7s for 2013, we would like to thank hank all the Homeroom teachers who have guided and nd welcomed us into the school. Thanks to the other teachers eachers who have taught us many things that will help uss in our secondary school journey. We thank all our parents arents for helping us on this journey, the canteen workers for those great snacks and lunches, our friends for or the support they give us and most especially our amazing mazing year level coordinator, Mrs Bentley!

Year 8 THE BOYS OF CHANGE! New Homerooms, new classes, new teachers and higher expectations challenged the cohort of Year 8 at the start of 2013. They have embraced and risen to the challenges they have been presented with.
The SJC Swimming Carnival at Kardinia Pool was an awesome day and also a very intense. All teams, Foley, Brophy, Butler and Jordan competed at their best but Foley Falcons came home with the win. It was a great day and everyone enjoyed it.
As a group they have been a pleasure to work with and get to know.Their positive attitude, resilience and strong sense of justice has seen them develop and mature into fine young men. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of them.
This year, we took part in the subject Healthy Living. Students learnt how to look after themselves physically, emotionally and socially. In the Nutrition unit food choices were explored. We completed a four week unit of Rock and Water where we learnt to defend ourselves, to not put up with something you don’t like and how not to get yourself into trouble. At the end we got to snap a piece of wood in half with our bare hands. Some of the sports we completed were ten-pin bowling, table tennis, croquet, bocce and mountain bike riding. .
However, the biggest change of all awaits – Westcourt 2014. This group has a chance at making history as they are the first ever group to attend Westcourt Campus. This project has evolved and developed over a number of years and I am sure it will be a success. The beauty of St Joseph’s is that there are so many unique and exciting opportunities for the boys. Westcourt will embrace, support and challenge the boys through a variety of opportunities. I wish them all the very best for the challenges and changes that Westcourt brings, and I am sure they will thrive in their new environment. Good luck boys Dan Hale - Year 8 Coordinator YEAR 8 ACTIVITIES Activities Week was great.We all got the full “Melbourne Experience”. Some of the awesome venues we went to were the National Sports Museum, The Shrine of Remembrance, The Immigration Museum, Street Art and The Eureka Sky Deck. My favourite was the Eureka Sky Deck. It was simply exhilarating when you look down and see the city streets below. The students heard three guest speakers during Activities Week. One speaker was an amazing person to meet, his name was Lorin Nicholson. Lorin is a blind man, who plays guitar. He played a few songs, spoke about his childhood and what it is like being blind and growing up. I found Lorin an inspirational person. We then had the privilege of listening to Michele Newland. Her story was amazing and very inspirational. She told us about her severe asthma attack that left her in a vegetative state. She never gave up and worked extremely hard on her rehab. She showed us that nothing is impossible with hard work and determination. The final presenter, Professor Bunson showed us different science experiments. They were fun and silly experiments and everyone laughed and was in awe. One of his experiments was to create a slimy ball in water. It was cool. Edmund Rice Day started with a Mass then went onto the Cross Country. Now, the aim of Cross Country for many students at Joeys is the faster you finish the better donut and drink you get. After Cross Country we had activities of all sorts, personally I liked the soccer.
During lunch,Year 8 Homerooms held an indoor soccer comp. There were many laughs and great times shared between the classes. Athletics Day was great, all of the boys had fun cheering each other on although, there was still a lot of competition about which House would win the SJC Athletics title - it was the Jordan Redbacks. It was exhilarating watching the College Classic. Another great activity was the ACC Victorian College Championship Basketball. The boys gave up their lunch to train for this event and those skills they learnt were reflected on the court. These boys had a great day but unfortunately lost in the semi-finals and were eliminated. On 12 September selected Year 7 and 8s came back to school after hours to participate in the Winter Sleep out which is about experiencing homelessness first hand. There were many activities set around the school: a guest speaker from St. Vinnie’s, make a shelter out of two tarps, a deck of cards to play with and other fun activities. It was a great experience and I would definitely do it again. In Term 4 the Kanga 8 competition was held at Kardinia Park.The boys played in great spirit and the day ran very smoothly. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few of the boys who played representing the school in the future.
“I was pumped after I broke the piece of wood” - Rock and Water Unit “It was an awesome week” - activities week “We do many fun activities during class. One activity was the mouse trap car challenge in science. This was a challenge where students had to make a moving vehicle powered by a mouse trap.The competition was thoroughly enjoyed by all students.” - Year 8 Leaders
Thank you to all the teachers, Homeroom teachers, support staff, office staff and everyone else who has helped out, supported us, given up their time and organised things for Year 8 this year. Next year we will get to go to a new campus called Westcourt. I think Westcourt will be a fun experience for us and it will teach us new things and I am ng forward to next year. really looking udent Leaders - Year 8 Student

Year 9 “It was a great day to meet new friends and talk to old friends from Primary School. The sausages and burgers from the BBQ were also great, because everyone loves free food! Overall, it was a great day that everyone enjoyed and it was a terrific way to be social with girls from Sacred Heart.” - Antoine Saleh
SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION PROGRAM IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS Over a six week period, classes from Year 9 were involved in the SAPPSS program. It taught us to be responsible and respectful when we are around people of any gender. When doing the 6th week of the program, we attended Clonard College and had a session about sexual assault with the Clonard girls. The Joey’s boys had a barbeque lunch after the session and also talked about what we thought of the program. Evan Farley - 9D RENEWAL DAY On Friday 13 September, Year 9 students attended Renewals, which were held at the St Joseph’s Football Club and Newtown Football Club rooms. It was a great day which taught us how to take a step back and reflect on what is going on around us and how lucky we are. The activities we participated in included a fantastic motivational speech from Travis Dempsey about ‘being a man’, yoga, meditation and team building activities. All of the activities were really good experiences and I’m sure everybody who attended, got something valuable out of the day. Jack Walters - 9E YEAR 9 “DOCS & TEENS” PROGRAM Over two weeks during the third and fourth terms, classes of Year 9 became involved with the “Docs & Teens” program during our double R.E classes. The program was designed to give students knowledge of various health related issues that we may be exposed to in our teenage lives, as well as in the future. In addition, we received information on health centres located around our district and a number of websites that may be helpful to us. A General Practitioner hosted the program and we were involved in various activities and discussions which increased our knowledge of mental, physical, sexual and spiritual health. Rhys Hegyesi - 9B GRAMPIANS CAMP For the Year 9 camp in 2013, we went to the Grampian Ranges in country Victoria. The camp went
28
over a four day period. Students slept in either a 2 or 3 person tent each night. Individual groups of students supplied their own food over the 4 days and ‘survived’ by themselves. It was a great experience for everyone involved. Activities on the camp included: rock climbing, canoeing, walking, bike riding and even some survival games. Each class was spread out all over the Grampians in different spots. It was an amazing experience for everyone involved and one that I will never forget. Jack Quinn - 9A ACTIVITY WITH SACRED HEART In August, the Year 9s of St Joseph’s walked down to Sacred Heart to participate in a fun Sports and BBQ day with their Year 9 girls. The sports we played were soccer and netball and the teams were boys versus girls. The boys and girls were very competitive and spirited in the way they played these games. It was a great day to meet new friends and talk to old friends from Primary School. The sausages and burgers from the BBQ were also great, because everyone loves free food! Overall, it was a great day that everyone enjoyed and it was a terrific way to be social with girls from Sacred Heart. Antoine Saleh - 9G REACH HEROES DAY In Term 4, the Reach Foundation came to Geelong to host a couple of days of workshops with Year Nine students from around Geelong. Our school’s Year Nines (due to size) were split in two, with one group travelling to Geelong West Town Hall on Thursday 31st October and the other the following day Friday 1st November. Across both days the content remained pretty much the same, with the volunteers running the sessions and putting on an experience different to normal school work. The aim of the day was to encourage people to develop confidence in their own ‘heroes’ journey’, and many opportunities were given for students to openly speak about the challenges they had faced up until now. While some stories may have been confronting - it was good to hear people be honest about what they had gone through in their lives. Jack O’Neil - 9A

Year 10 ROAD SAFETY PRESENTATION On Monday 20 May, Year 10 was fortunate enough to listen to a presentation by John Maher where we heard his tragic story of losing his youngest daughter Carmen. He talked about how the car crash occurred. We sat there in utter silence as he described the events that took place that day. He too thought that it wouldn’t happen to him and up until that tragic day. Everyone was in shock and disbelief hearing what had happened to him, his family and friends. We learnt that a car crash isn’t just a car crash; it affects everything and changes your life, and the lives of others, forever. Josh De Agrela - 10E YEAR 10 “JUST THINK’ FORUM During Term 2, a group of Year 10 students were invited to the ‘Just Think’ campaign forum held at Kardinia Park. The forum included other schools from around the Geelong region. The campaign is set up to help educate young people about the risks associated with alcohol and the potential consequences. The first part of the forum involved a panel of experts (a doctor from Geelong Hospital Emergency department, a researcher from Deakin University and a senior constable from Geelong Police) they helped give valuable insight by discussing personal experiences and expanding on statistics associated with alcohol related violence. The forum then progressed with the inclusion of Geelong footballers James Kelly, Mitch Duncan and Jimmy Bartel. We then split into 3 stations which each including one of the players and experts. The players spoke about the consequences of alcohol related violence such as the financial cost, injuries and the effect on the individual’s family. Overall the forum was a great success and the inclusion of the Geelong players helped to emphasise just how important the matters of alcohol related violence really are. Bailey Biggs - 10A
the music was. Everyone enjoyed the night and with the amount of students who came along, it definitely made the night a lot better. Thank you to the teachers from all schools; the night couldn’t have happened without their planning leading up and supervision on the night. Sam Threlfall - 10A RENEWALS – PART 1 As a part of Year 10 renewals, our class was fortunate enough to experience two informative sessions at a Jewish Synagogue and Muslim Mosque. We learned about each religion’s beliefs, backgrounds and rituals. We found out that when inside a Synagogue, men must wear a kipper (and are actually encouraged to wear it all the time) to show that they are not of the highest standing in the world and that women are recognised as higher authority over men and are seated on the balcony to show their superiority. When in a mosque you remove your shoes and when in prayer you must face Mecca.Through this experience we got to appreciate the various religious cultures and beliefs whilst learning that these religions weren’t so different from our own. This experience was very enjoyable and informative. We believe it has changed some student’s prejudices towards the religions. It was a great opportunity and was well worth the trip to Melbourne. Michael Fama & Harry Kerr -10C
RENEWALS – PART 2 During the second part of our year 10 renewals, we met an Indigenous musician named Scott Darlow. Scott performed for us with his guitar, voice, and didgeridoo which were all great to hear. With these, he shared his experiences as a child and taught us about the struggles the Aboriginals faced in the time of the stolen generations. Scott really opened our eyes by letting us imagine what it would be like if we were in their shoes, experiencing what they felt. We appreciated Scott YEAR 10 FORMAL 2013 Darlow for sharing his experiences and views, because On 6 August,Year 10 students from St Joseph’s College, it was an experience that we will all never forget. Sacred Heart and Clonard congregated together for the formal. People showed up in groups, as no one We also visited the St Mary’s Basilica, where we wants to show up alone, to Capri Receptions. St explored all of the smaller chapels in it, and looked Joseph’s College students Mitch Loughnan and Daniel at the history in the building. A parishioner was there Gregorio were happy to provide music and as DJs - to explain and show us around the Basilica, they did a great job supplying the beats on the night which taught us about the building and its symbols. It was an kept the students dancing. The ‘D-floor’, as many had enlightening experience which let us all appreciate the called it, got very congested and showed how good values of being Catholics. William Sharp & Filip Sarcevic -10C Year 10 students with Jimmy Year 10 Formal Bartel at the Just Think forum
“St Joseph’s College very own students were happy to provide music and DJs - Mitch Loughnan and Daniel Gregorio did a great job supplying the beats on the night which kept the students dancing.The ‘D-floor’, as many had called it, got very congested and showed how good the music was.” - Sam Threlfall

Year 11 “The Year 11 renewals were really eye opening for me too, you got to experience things that were out of your comfort zone, and we went to places that we have never been before, and I was able to experience things during that week that will stick with mee forever.” fo e e . - William Cleary
SOME REFLECTIONS ON YEAR 11 Year 11 for me this year was, adapting to change being open minded towards everything, the big jump from middle school to VCE, being recognised as a senior boy and coping with the pressures of what our subjects demand and the different workloads. Added to this was my responsibility as a leader, and being lucky enough to represent the school next year as one of the 2014 Deputy College captains. Being fortunate enough to trek the Kokoda trail with my mum in June this year as a part of the school’s first trip to Papua New Guinea, where I pushed myself to the limits, discovered what I’m made of and got to understand myself a bit better. I think I also realised who I am, what I believe in and where I want to go throughout different times in the year. One of the most significant parts that made up Year 11 for me was all the fun times I’ve had with my mates, whether that was on the bus, at lunchtime or even just in class. Year 11 has been awesome for me and I’ve loved every second of it. Nick Brandamarti
This year has been a tough but rewarding year at St Joseph’s. This year I have realised the increase in workload that comes with starting VCE and the added pressure of two Unit 3 & 4 subjects has really forced me to focus. This year I have had to increase the amount of time I spent studying and the many mornings I woke up early to get in some last minute revision made me feel like I was really working hard. I have also had the amazing opportunity this year of going to walk the Kokoda track with a group of other Joey’s boys. This would have to be the highlight of my year, it showed me how much I could push myself and gave me an appreciation for the mental and physical strength the soldiers must have needed to fight for our country. What I learnt in Kokoda is something that I have taken home with me and put into my studies. I think all of the Year 11 boys have learnt a lot this year and I’m sure everybody is looking forward to the challenge that comes from Year 12. Callum Robertson My 5th year at St Josephs has gone crazy quick, and it’s the first senior year so you really have to knuckle d down with school work, because the work you’re d doing sets you up for Year 12. I also experienced w what a Year 12 subject is like, the hard work and the eeffort you have to put into that subject, as well as the ppreparation you need to make for a Year 12 exam, aand practice exams. I believe it will give me some cconfidence going into my Year 12 exams next year. I hhave also realized that Year 11 is a year where you’ve rreally settled in with the school, where everyone in m my year level knows each other, and everyone is nice aand friendly and easy to approach, no matter who yyou are. It is also a year where you’ve known the tteachers for a while so you develop fun relationships w with your teachers. The Year 11 renewals were really eeye opening for me too, you got to experience things tthat were out of your comfort zone, and we went to pplaces that we have never been before, and I was able tto experience things during that week that will stick w with me forever.

Year 12 REFLECTIONS I was privileged to attend the alternate schoolies trip with Year 12 students from SJC and Clonard to Uganda at the end of 2012. It allowed me to be part of something very special in the community of Mannya where the children yearn for learning and education.
From time to time you may question yourselves and you will have doubts about your life, your future, your choices. BUT If you are willing to listen to that small voice that is the GPS within yourself to find out what makes you come alive, you will be happy, you will be successful and you will make a difference in the world
I have encouraged the boys this year to look for what they are passionate about and to achieve their very best.They don’t have the disadvantage of distance and poverty and there is nothing stopping them “striving for the highest”
Congratulations and thanks to your family and friends for their support and love, because “it takes a whole village to raise a child”.
We bid farewell to the class of 2013. You are ending your time at St Joseph’s as a student but you will always be a treasured member of our school community. It has been my absolute privilege to share your Senior years with you. I have come to know you, both individually and collectively as a year level, and it has been a pleasure to watch you grow, lead and shine. So many highlights of the past two years which we have shared include:The Ministry of food program where some rather cautious cooks mastered some fine cuisine. Brennan Houghton finished Year 11 with academic excellence and although he hasn’t been studying this year he has been almost weekly, keeping tabs on what’s going on and staying connected. Football had its setbacks, with numerous injuries, some successes and sadness on the footy field. Many accomplishments were evident in the fields of rowing, basketball, volleyball, cricket, martial arts, boxing, arts and music. Stoofa inspired and challenged the boys to think differently about their lives and fitness. Daniel Glen designed the Hoodie which the boys were excited to wear at the end of Term 3. To our College Captain Jake Sykes and Deputy College Captains Lachlan Devine and Jakeb Fair who lead their team so ably. I thank you and all the leaders for your leadership, your love of SJC and your commitment to building our community. My advice to you is to find what makes you come alive…This world needs people who come alive. I have faith that you will be ok and you will make sure this country is ok...because there are young men like you who give of their time every week to assist homeless people by making breakfast, serving meals, giving their time, making coffee, tutoring, running clinics, washing cars, digging gardens, working with families who need respite, caring for friends especially our dear Brennan Houghton. I have faith because of young men like you.
To all the Year 12 teachers, and the Homeroom team who work daily in the care of your sons, I say thanks. As we close the door for 2013 we look to the future, of other doors opening to embrace and guide you for the rest of your lives. I wish you every success and happiness. Monika Ercoli - Year 12 Coordinator
JAMIE’S MINISTRY OF FOOD PROGRAM The Year 12 VCAL groups attended a 10 Week Jamie Oliver Ministry of Food program conducted at the Moorabool St campus in Geelong.
“We bid farewell to the class of 2013. You are ending your time at St Joseph’s as a student but you will always be a treasured member of our school community. It has been my absolute privilege to share your Senior years with you.” - Monika Ercoli
Jamie’s Ministry of Food is part of Health Together Victoria which is a jointly funded initiative of the Victorian and Commonwealth governments. The program aims to teach people about cooking easy, quick and healthy meals using fresh ingredients. The program aims to develop skills and knowledge in not only how to cook, but also shopping, budgeting and planning meals. The cooking skills developed weekly from boiling eggs to risotto, pasta, chicken and beef dishes and the finale which was a scrumptious roast and vegies. The skills the VCAL boys learnt will stand them in good stead in the kitchen and in life. Our VCAL program has enhanced further the applied learning skills which are fundamental to the ethos of the program. Our thanks go to Annalee and Lindy who supported the boys on their food journey.

Mission It might seem when we look around our communities that the influence of religious orders such as the Christian Brothers has markedly diminished over the years. Despite the decrease in numbers of brothers, however, the spirit of Edmund Rice is living strong in our community, in schools such as here at St Joseph’s, in Edmund Rice Camps, in the Edmund Rice Asylum Seeker Project and the St Kilda Food Van. This year St Joseph’s College undertook an EREA Renewal which aimed to establish how well we as a College were living up to being a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition. In a wonderful vote of confidence the Renewal affirmed that we were living out the Charter Touchstones (Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Justice and Solidarity, and Inclusive Community) in a sincerely authentic manner, one that is true to our local Geelong community. Part of the way that we do this is by providing our students with experiences through which they explore their beliefs and values and reflect on their place in life, such as through the experiences mentioned below. The team this year has farewelled Mr John Stephensen from the role of Director of Mission and Identity, replaced by Ms Jo Hart. And we welcomed Ms Claire Wrigley to the role of Community Service Coordinator. She has given the role a new energy and has been a hard working addition to this area of the school. A liturgical highlight this year was the full school participation in the Stations of the Cross in Holy Week at a number of locations around the school. Liturgies have been held in times of bereavement for classes, year levels and groups of friends. The Chapel is now open every day for anyone to drop in, and many classes visit for meditation, prayer and viewing the stained glass windows. Curriculum in Religious Education continues to develop, with the next challenge being to create a program for our 2014 Westcourt students. There will be two major foci at Year 9 – “The Women in Jesus’ Life” & “Prayer – a way to communicate.” Another aspect of curriculum in the RE domain is Wellbeing.
This sequential curriculum has been trialled across all year levels in 2013 and will be officially launched in 2014. It is divided into four spheres – social, physical, emotional & future wellbeing, the aim being to meet the needs of our students in each of these areas. Year 11 student, Seb Rawson, had the privilege of attending World Youth Day in Rio with the Melbourne Archdiocesan group. He returned filled with the Spirit, energised and empowered by the amazing experiences he’d had. On his return, Seb wrote: “The time spent there will stay with me forever and the lessons and experiences I gained are immeasurably important to strengthening my faith.” It was humbling and satisfying to learn that the Sudanese Community no longer feel the need for the tutoring program that our students have supported for some eight years. However, there are many other refugees and asylum seekers who have more recently arrived in the area, hence our partnership with Diversitat, Clonard and Sacred Heart Colleges, to support the Refugee Homework Program at Northern Bay College for primary school students. This program began in term four and we look forward to it continuing in 2014.
“Whilst the pilgrimage is now over, we, as former pilgrims and now evangelisers, will go forth and spread the word of World Youth Day.” - Seb Rawson
2013 has seen a change for our staff reflection day. After three years of sending all staff out on community service, we are bringing all staff in for a “Mind, Body, Spirit” day to provide them with experiences which will nourish and develop their own physical, emotional and spiritual journey. Staff have also enjoyed throughout the year professional development in the areas of meditation, the Eucharist and how to lead their students in reflecting more deeply on community service.

Community Service “We often receive feedback from the community organisations expressing their gratitude for the boys help and receive comments of how well the boys conduct themselves. These invaluable experiences we hope are something the boys will remember well beyond St Joseph’s and we hope may ignite a desire in them to help others in their community.” - Claire Wrigley
In the tradition of Edmund Rice of service to others the staff and students of St Joseph’s have truly answered this call. They have been so giving of their time to participate in service to help the marginalised in our community. Their involvement in community service defines who we are as Catholics and reflects the Justice and Solidarity touchstone of Edmund Rice Schools. This year, as their community service, the Year 7s have learnt about the work of St Vinnies and the example set by St Vincent de Paul. They have heard from Peter Chiang, the President of St Vinnies in Geelong. Peter enlightened the boys on the many services St Vinnies offer to the Geelong community and specifically where the clothing and money would go that they raised as part of the SJC Sleep Out. 40 Year 7 & 8 boys slept out for one night at school to raise awareness and money for homeless in Geelong. The boys experienced what it was like to be cold and alone and have nowhere to sleep. The next day the whole school wore casual dress and brought in blankets and clothing to donate to St Vinnies winter appeal. The response from the boys was amazing, filling a St Vinnies truck to the roof. Year 8 students lead an appeal to develop an understanding of the work of the Geelong Food Relief Centre. Rob Gurney, from Geelong Food relief spoke to the students about the service the centre offers in providing relief for 8000 families in the Geelong area. Students lead the appeal to make it all the way around Zampatti oval with cans of food and to build a pyramid of cereal boxes.The whole school supported the appeal by wearing casual dress and donating a box of cereal or can of food for the privilege. This was a most successful campaign driven by Year 8 students and their RE teachers in 2013 with a large amount of non-perishable foods being donated. At St Joseph’s we receive numerous requests for assistance from various organisations. This year a number of Year 12 boys supported Legacy Geelong by shaking tins at an AFL football match at Simonds Stadium. Also a number of junior leaders sold pens and badges at school over legacy week. Many boys also

helped out the Scope ‘Walk with me’ event in Geelong in September at the Eastern Gardens and represented the College extremely well. Year 12 students should be proud of the amount of community service they have completed this year as a collective group. In total the boys have completed over 1200 hours of community service in our community volunteering with schools, St Vinnies, Salvation Army, Legacy, nursing homes and refugee programs just to name a few. We often receive feedback from the community organisations expressing their gratitude for the boys’ help and receive comments of how well the boys conduct themselves. These invaluable experiences we hope are something the boys will remember well beyond St Joseph’s and we hope may ignite a desire in them to help others in their community. This year the Breakfast Programs have seen an explosion of involvement from both staff and students. Each Thursday and Friday a group of students and a staff member have met early to head to St Thomas Aquinas Norlane or St Francis Xavier Corio Primary Schools to assist St Vinnies with the provision of a breakfast program. Our students buttered many slices of toast and poured many milos and juices to ensure that students in those areas would begin the day with some food in their stomachs to help them learn. Thanks to a variety of staff getting involved in this program, a large number of students from across the year levels have been able to participate, and for many, experience their first community service activity. Many thanks needs to be extended to our local organisations who partner with us for all these activities. Our students gain so much understanding through their experiences of how different other people’s lives are compared to their own and of how much more difficult life can be. They realise that they can make a difference to a person’s life just by spending time with them. They come to understand that a helping hand can make a big difference and all of us working together can have a significant effect on others. Claire Wrigley - Community Service Coordinator

“A large number of families supported the Marrma’ Rom Foundation. This program supports boys from North East Arnhem Land to live in Geelong, attend St Joseph’s, and learn to live assuredly in the western world. The intention is for these boys to “walk confidently in two worlds” and help close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Two current participants, Dion and Jerol, are working on a Certificate in Indigenous Health which will enable them to assist their community to improve health outcomes.” Jo Hart - Director of Mission

Our teaching and learning program provides many opportunities for our students to experience a diverse range of subjects supported by many extracurricular activities and opportunities such as the inaugural LitFEST (celebrating writing in many forms), sustainability initiatives and celebrations in The Arts. This year has been an exciting year for our school where we have seen the opening of the Trade Training Centre and the development of the Year 9 program for our new campus. WESTCOURT The introduction of a Year 9 campus in 2014 is one of the biggest changes to SJC for many years. The development of curriculum for Westcourt has been an exciting and valuable challenge for all involved. Led by Ashwin Pillai, the Westcourt team of teachers have worked tirelessly to create a curriculum that engages Year 9 boys whilst providing a rigorous teaching and learning program. Each term at Westcourt will revolve around a particular curriculum focus. The core curriculum in Year 9 will focus on the four facets of the Year 9 model (My Self, My Community, My World and My Future) and will continue to develop, extend and apply acquired skills and knowledge to real life contexts and issues. An English and Humanities curriculum called Think will be teaching concepts and skills using an integrative and inquiry approach. The Maths and Science components of the curriculum are taught in Investigate where students are encouraged to acquire and put to use their research skills and inquiry processes. Other features of the curriculum include The Rite Journey and Learning Communities. The Rite Journey is a unique educational program that involves ceremonial rites of passage and a mentoring component aimed to support the development of responsible and resilient adults. Learning Communities explores the connection between the student and his community and how they interact and connect. The Westcourt staff have developed a strong and varied elective program of Challenge and Enrichment subjects including DIY guitar, PLANeT green, Remote Control Car Challenge, Math is in the Air and Biology on the Move. TRADE TRAINING CENTRE Another major development has been the opening of the new Trade Training Centre. Next year will see the introduction of additional subjects including Carbon
Management and Allied Health. This year a partnership between VACCHO (Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation), Wathaurong Co-operative and St Joseph’s College enabled three students to complete the Certificate II in Aboriginal Health. This course was initiated by our Koori Education Worker, Lisa Couzens and continued with the support of Susan Collins. Next year the students will undertake the Certificate III in Aboriginal Health in the Trade Training Centre. REPORTING Last year we introduced the Parent Access Module known as PAM. This year the system was expanded to include assessment tasks and reporting. Parents/ guardians are able to access information on assessment, attendance and homework. This system provides more immediate feedback to parents. STUDENT ASSESSMENT DATA During Term 3 this year students from St Joseph’s College were selected to participate in the NAPLAN Trialling test organised by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). As opposed to the actual NAPLAN testing which involves all Year 7 and 9 students only a sample of Year 9 students were chosen to take part. The purpose of the trial is to develop questions and assessments that are reliable indicators of students’ abilities. In a similar manner a sample of Year 8 students and teaching staff were selected to participate in the International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS). This program also run by ACER is part of a wide ranging investigation that involves comparative studies from over twenty countries to determine the Information and Technology skills of Year 8 students from around the world. The involvement of students from St Joseph’s in these and other similar programs is a reflection of the importance staff at St Joseph’s place on maintaining the most current and up to date knowledge of best practice use of student assessment data. Our shared vision….states we encourage one another “to strive for the highest”, to develop and use our talents and abilities, and to respect and show compassion towards others. Our curriculum allows students to find what they are best at, appreciate the talents of others and support those around them and in the greater community. Michelle Brodrick - Director of Curriculum & Vin Brown - Director of Teaching & Learning
Student Leaders THE MID-WINTER BALL In the early days of January 2013, which now feels like years away, a small group of dedicated students, past and present, banded together to continue the ongoing idea of the inaugural ‘Mid Winter Ball’. As newly appointed head of the free-to-bes, I felt it necessary to carry out this vision and turn it into a reality. By early February our first meeting went by and concrete jobs were set, meeting after meeting we found ourselves halting at the obstacle of money. Suddenly when one of the keen sacred heart girls applied for a $1000 dollar grant (Given by GASP Geelong), everything began to feel more and more like a well-oiled machine. Days, week’s months past, and after the introduction of the tickets, banners, sit-down meetings with headspace and conformation of entertainment, the night was upon us. Glitz and glamour were in abundance on the successful night of 20 June 2013, the night that held a candle to the sufferers of mental health and raised awareness and funds toward the organisation, Headspace. Mid-Winter ball rocked the St Joseph’s gym accompanied by the fellow Catholic schools of Clonard, Sacred Heart and St Ignatius that helped the night become a success. The music helped set the scene for a memorable night with the ‘Sacred Heart Vet Band’, Dj’s Ayden Green, Patrick Slack of St Joseph’s and Zane from St Ignatius leading the charge, assisted by the ever-famous iPod. Daunted as the group of organisers were, we couldn’t have imagined a more magically spectacular success. Roughly $5000 raised, hundreds of guests and a tonne of fun was had. So even as we reel back and ponder the great experience had, it is incredible the opportunity a humble Joey’s student can embrace, with just the right amount of motivation and support, from a great and diverse school. With much gratitude for the time I’ve had here, a big thank-you, from myself those a part of CLOGS and Headspace Geelong Jakeb Fair - Year 12
YEAR 9 LEADERSHIP 2013 has been a productive year for the Year 9 Leaders. Every Monday at recess throughout the year, we met along with the Years 8 and 10 Leaders. We would discuss projects, fundraisers and other issues around the school with the Middle School Leadership Coordinator, Ms Westwood. Together, we combined our ideas to hold fundraisers such as the 40hr famine and ‘See the Person Not the Disability’ day. We also participated in many other initiatives. The Year 9 Leaders frequently spoke at assemblies and helped out the Senior Leaders. All students were grateful for this opportunity to gain confidence and to help improve our school. Tom Fitzgerald - Year 9 IDAHO DAY On Friday 17 May the student leadership team organised activities to celebrate IDAHO day (International Day against Homophobia). Students could receive a free wristband with the words ‘I will not stand by’ printed across them if they took the pledge to ‘stand up’ against any forms of homophobia or bullying alike. The day was a huge success with over 450 students signing the pledge. Hopefully the wristbands they received will act as a reminder of the pledge they have taken to make St Joseph’s a more inclusive and safe environment for ALL.
“The wonderfully magical night was made and it could not have been possible without the help of Shane ‘Smokey’ Dawson, Lachie Porter along with all groundsmen, helpful teachers of all schools and Headspace.” - Jakeb Fair
The junior school assembly on Monday 20 May was also run by the middle school leaders and was focused on the message of celebrating and respecting diversity and eliminating the use of the term ’gay’ as a derogative term in our school. Presented to the students was a list of alternative words they could use and that students using the term in the incorrect way should ‘buy a dictionary’ and stop sounding stupid. A big thank-you to all the middle school leaders that assisted on the day, you continue to surprise and exceed my expectations of you as leaders. Rebecca Westwood - Student Leadership Coordinator

VCAL “Our Girls Night In raised over $14,000. We worked together to host an event in honour of the women in our lives that raised money and awareness for women affected by cancer.” - Tim Lancaster
VCAL has been a fantastic program for me to undertake in my two final years of school. I knew from an early age that I wanted to undertake a trade when completing school so VCAL was the perfect option for me. It has allowed me to work in a hands on manner, while continuing to develop my literacy and numeracy skills. My classmates and I have all undertaken either Structured Work Placements or School Based Apprenticeships, VET courses and traineeships. In addition we have completed training at school including Construction Induction cards, Cert II in Hospitality: Food & Beverage and cooking classes at Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food. I have loved coming to school every day and participating in all the community service and work related activities, having real life experiences and making a difference around the school and in the community. Zac Herman - Year 12 VCAL Leader GIRLS NIGHT IN This year’s Auction Night raised a total of $14,373.93 for the Victorian Cancer Council. Over the past three years we have raised just over $30,000 for the fight against women’s cancers. The Cancer Council have acknowledged our donation by making a video about us, featuring us in their national newsletter and bestowing upon us not one, but two Research Awards. They have been named in memory of Suzie and Veronica Major, and Jaquie O’Toole.These women inspired us to start fundraising back in 2011 and we are proud of what we have achieved in their names. We thank our parents and College community for supporting us in making a difference. Special thanks to my Mum Chris for coordinating all the donations and Zac’s Dad Buster Herman for doing all the catering. Tim Lancaster
Training at Bounce trampoline park
BOUNCE HEALTH & WELLBEING EXCURSION Year 11 and 12 VCAL were fortunate enough to go to Melbourne this year to undertake a training session at Bounce Inc. trampoline park. Along with having lots of fun, the boys were working on their communication, cognitive, and team work skills while meeting Learning Outcomes linked to health & wellbeing. Kieran McNally - Year 12 LIFE SKILLS This year the Year 12 VCAL class has undertaken study in ‘Life Skills’. We helped design the program and we chose to focus on the following: interview skills, career choices, and all boys developed a detailed job portfolio and participated in mock job interviews. The car maintenance work shop and round of golf were highlights. Jake Cobb - Year 12 VCAL Leader NUMERACY Year 12 students studied passata sauce making and all of the mathematics behind the process. Duties included, ordering supplies, making a roster for the day, washing and cutting supplies, cooking, bottling, sterilising, labelling, marketing and selling. Upon completion of the project we produced a report including all the calculations related to unit prices and comparisons as well as the concept and reality of the bottom line. Over 200 bottles were sold with proceeds raised being donated to charity. In order to offer customers at the Girls Night In a taste test we also learnt how to make ricotta dumplings from

YEAR 11 In numeracy we drew up plans using a scale 1:50 and then constructed a model of our dream entertainment venue or workshop justifying the form and function of our model. It was good to design it and then actually construct it. We took a lot of time and care. It was important to me to get it just right. Tyson Brasier - Year 11 Year 11 VCAL Personal Development Skills participated in a number of workshops and courses undertaken by the school for the first time. In Term 1 we participated in stress management work shops where we learnt to meditate and use different strategies to deal with stress.
drug use. We completed a number of motivational personal training sessions with renowned personal trainer ‘Stoofa’.

“Our potato cakes sold out quicker than a One Direction concert.” - Jacob Connelly on raising money for the Casey Tutungi Fund.
In Term 3 we enjoyed working independently on our own personal projects ranging from ocean kayaking, fundraising for Casey Tutungi, local primary school and kinder programs, a farewell lunch for the Year 12s, bullying workshops for Year 8s, and the production of goods for sale at markets. A highlight was the charity bike ride we did to help Mr Shalders raise money for Peter Mac. The Year 11 VCAL PDS classes have had an extremely productive year and are very proud of our many successes and achievements. Tyler O’Brien & Sam Dempster - Year 11

In Term 2 we undertook our SCOPE Bronze Medallion which recognises our ability to work alongside people with a disability.We participated in workshops at school, and then went to SCOPE Industries and worked alongside people with disabilities. We also participated in the Red Cross Save a Mate course where we learnt about the dangers of alcohol and Raising $527 for the Casey Tutungi Fund. nd.

VET “I have found that the boys who are currently participating in school based apprenticeships and traineeships are highly sought after by local employers when they finish their schooling.They have a great reputation for being well presented and hardworking and this is a real credit to them.” - Jarrod Gore
With VET (Vocational Education and Training) studies continuing to grow at St Joseph’s and the construction of the Joseph Innovation & Trade Training Centre, 2013 was turning out to be a busy year.
partners. The Joseph Innovation & Trade Training Centre is a great asset for our College as it will allow our students to study on site in an environment that is more familiar and supportive to them.
Now having completed nearly a full school year as the VET Coordinator I was starting to become more comfortable in the role, I was starting to build relationships with the boys and get to know their future dreams and aspirations.
School based apprenticeship/traineeship numbers continued to rise during the year with more and more students enquiring about obtaining positions. Boys who undertake school based apprenticeships/ traineeships are enrolled in a nationally recognised Certificate II or III level qualification whilst attending school. The boys are able to use this qualification to gain credit towards their VCE or VCAL studies and I have found that the boys who are currently participating in school based apprenticeships/ traineeships are highly sought after by local employers when they finish their schooling. They have a great reputation for being well presented and hardworking and this is a real credit to them.
Here at St Joseph’s we acknowledge that not every student learns in the same way and this is why we offer VET certificates as part of our curriculum. Over 200 students undertook VET studies at St Joseph’s this year on either a Monday or Wednesday afternoon in a wide range of courses delivered across Geelong. These courses range from general trades such as Building and Construction to more specialist areas such as Information Technology. Some VET certificates allow students the opportunity to have a “work placement”.The placement is held for one day a week or in the holidays. I have found these placements very beneficial for the boys as it allows them to apply the skills learnt in VET to the “Real World” and also helps the boys to become more “Job Ready” for their future pathways after St Joseph’s. With the Joseph Innovation & Trade Training Centre being built and scheduled to be open for operation in 2014 I had a busy time advertising the courses that we would be offering on site and organising our auspicing VET Hospitality

Overall 2013 has been a great year for VET, our numbers are continuing to grow, our facilities have been improved and the boys are extremely enthusiastic about their studies. St Joseph’s College operates a great VET program and I am very excited to see what future years will bring. Jarrod Gore - VET Coordinator
The Trade Training Centre is going to be a fantastic resource for VET students
Ad Alta 10 This year in Ad Alta the boys started and finished enthusiastically. We were a mixed lot with some of the students very keen to pursue a career in the construction industry, others in the hospitality and others in horticulture. We have been very lucky with four boys completing a School Based Apprenticeship in Horticulture with Greening Australia. Michael Thompson and Matt Levar Smith also picked up school based apprenticeships as the year progressed. Riley Humm secured an apprenticeship for 2014 and onwards due to his excellent efforts on work experience. Several other boys were offered jobs or apprenticeships also but declined and chose to stay on to do their final years here at SJC. The boys embarked on a new subject Careers which was both exciting and helpful. They developed great skills and knowledge in this area and have complied a very impressive resume for themselves. Included in the resume are certificates in safe@work modules, Level 1 first Aid, Hospitality certificates in Safe Food Handling and a Level 1 Barista certificate. The boys have developed their skills on the coffee machine and the “VcafA” coffee shop is booming with the help from the VCAL boys. They have worked on some very interesting stools, bean bags, seats, coat hook racks etc for the coffee shop. I can honestly say I have never seen such great designs as I have seen this year! The LED lamps were equally fantastic and original. Some of the students also participated in a course with Food Technology.They discovered how to cook a wide variety of meals with great flair. More importantly perhaps they also learnt safe food handling and how to cook nutritious budget meals instead of buying fast food. I would like to thank Cassandra Coogan for her endless patience and help she has given to the boys. Another highlight I think has probably been the Community Based Religious Education program. Mr John Stephenson and Mr John Monagle have been a sensational resource and help in all things community based and I believe the boys have learnt a lot from the experiences they made available to them. The boys have displayed over the year a real growth Wheel chair basketball

in maturity and shown themselves to be capable more than ever to enter the workforce or to continue their studies here at St Joseph’s.There were many activities and excursions organised by the students for the students which is a real credit to them. The year has been challenging to us all, teachers and students alike but I genuinely feel that we are have all learnt a lot from each other and the experience of being part of Ad Alta 2013. Lastly I would like to thank Kym our wonderful teacher aide who made my work so much easier. She has formed close bonds with all the boys and I would think we will all miss her next year. I would like to thank all the teachers who have taught or helped the Ad Alta boys this year. Simon Cahir - Ad Alta Coordinator
In Ad Alta this semester we have been working on some LED lamps that we made out of recycled materials. We had to make a whole folio for it and a standee that we could put next to the lamps once they were on display. I made my lamp out of an old skateboard and some wheels. It was great that I could incorporate skateboarding with my school work. I have really enjoyed doing this because we had a lot of freedom and could make whatever we wanted. I am really looking forward to next semester. Sam Atkins
“I discovered that I like working in the retail industry” - Justis Brayshaw “ I learnt how to measure things in a very small scale” - Matthew Fierka “In SBAL I learnt how to be creative and think outside the box when thinking of ideas” - Riley Humm “I discovered that I am good at designing things” - Riley Hollmer.
I learnt that I would like to do a trade, I also learnt how to wire a compressor and how the gas flows of an industrial fridge works. Sam Hoffman I like all the hands on things we do, also the activities we did throughout the year. Lachlan Gangell Riley Humm & Matthew Fierka

Careers “In 2013, students participated in a number of careers excursions including career expos at the Avalon Airshow, the Australian Grand Prix, the Whitehouse Institute Open Day and the Geelong Cats Teamwork and Leadership workshop.” - Karen Shum
CAREER’S WEEK 2013 Careers Week aims to get students thinking about their future career pathways. During Careers Week, students were prompted to begin preparing for their future pathway at school and to think about decisions that they will need to make that will shape their future. This year, students were able to attend two presentations from 13 career industry areas. These included aviation, CFA, Police, Ambulance, ICT, Architecture, WIlliam Adams Pty Ltd, Shell Australia, Master Builders Association of Victoria, the film producer and director of Reverse Runner and the Victorian Fitness Academy. On the final day of careers week, Father Bihn provided an enlightening and entertaining presentation reflecting on his career as a Catholic Priest. He spoke to students about realising your ‘calling’, and was able to answer the many questions posed from students in the audience. WORK EXPERIENCE WEEK MAY 2013 During work experience week, over 250 students from Year 10 descended upon workplaces in Geelong and the greater region, and further afield in Melbourne. Work places included the Magistrates Court, schools, universities, Melbourne Storm Rugby League Football Club, the Pulse Radio Station and 3AW, veterinary practices, stores, manufacturing, engineering, building and construction industries, the Port Adelaide Football Club, graphic designers and the media, law and architectural firms, and many more…. Many parents and old Collegians offered work experience places for the boys, without the support of local and regional businesses, families and the ‘old boys’ network, the work experience program would not be viable. A big thank you to everyone who supported the students with work experience placements,your support provides the boys with a very important career development opportunity that will help them to make informed decisions about their futures.Work experience also affords students with the occasion to learn more about themselves as well as how others see them. Once again, the students represented the College well; it was fantastic to read so much constructive and positive feedback. Well done boys! EMBEDDING THE NEW CAREERS PROGRAM This year St Josephs College introduced the Careers Education Association of Victoria (CEAV) Careers Program. This program, which is based
on the Victorian Careers Curriculum Framework, takes place at all year levels. Upon arrival at the College, students begin an organised, systematic and progressive careers development program which will follow them right through to Year 12. From 2014, students will work through the CEAV Careers Program using a workbook. This resource is a great way for parents/guardians to be involved in their sons’ career development. Each student will also complete an annual Career Action Plan. Copies of Action Plans, as well as further information on the program, can be found on the Careers Blog under the Careers tab. ALCOA FUTURE LEADERS OF INDUSTRY Samuel Kidd, Rhys Hegyesi, Lochie Graawmans and Jordan Partington were selected to participate in the Alcoa Future Leaders of Industry Program. This program provided students with the opportunity to: • find out more about a broad range of jobs in modern manufacturing • be introduced to employers from manufacturing • meet young people working and succeeding in manufacturing • explore education and training options leading to work in the manufacturing sector • opportunity to visit manufacturing sites. NSR SOCCER AUSTRALIA COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP Harry Bingham from NSR Soccer Australia was invited to the College to speak to students about opportunities in the US College Scholarship program. Year 10 students, Matthew Zilavec, was granted an interview and trial of which he was successful. Matthew has been offered a 12 month, possibly 4 year, soccer scholarship in the US and will be moving to American after completing Year 12. Well done Matthew! OFFICER SELECTION – AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE ACADEMY Andrey Matushevsky is hoping to be selected to attend the Australian Defence Force Academy in 2014. He has been busy completing a rigorous and lengthy selection process, Andrey plans to pursue his dreams of becoming a pilot through service in the Australian Army Aviation Corps. Good luck Andrey.

Educational Learning Support More than 70 SJC students this year have been funded through the Catholic Education Office for learning support. As well as those funded boys, at least 150 others fall just outside the funding criteria. Among them are school leaders, sports champions, chess champions, actors, musicians, thinkers, your sons. From the very youngest to the most senior, all have contributed to make SJC a richer, more accepting place but, from time to time, each needs a little extra support and that’s where our Educational Learning Support comes in. The Edmund Rice educational philosophy centres around inclusiveness and respect for all students, regardless of their ability or disability. The Education Learning Support team, which includes 16 teacher aides, aims to develop an environment to allow each student to strive for his highest and helps guide him towards reaching his potential. We aim to provide a safe, supportive and respectful academic environment to promote life-long learning. Education Learning Support at St Joseph’s assists students through classroom intervention programs. We work to provide a caring and supportive environment that allows each student to take his place within the school and broader community. Our goals are to: • offer support within the classroom and with individual work requirements • use assessments to identify strengths and weaknesses, and implement effective strategies to improve each student’s learning • set up a supportive working environment to allow each student to develop his potential and recognise his unique gifts • teach each student strategies to develop his independence and ability to set and achieve his goals • prepare each student to take his place within the wider community.
program aims to provide boys with an opportunity to build their confidence in skills they’ll need in everyday situations. The success of this program has led to ongoing work experience, particularly for a number of the senior boys, through the Food Skil 2 & 5 Fresh Food Shop in Labuan Square, Norlane, as part of their specially tailored education program.
‘’Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
In 2013 we have continued with the popular horseriding program through RDA Barwon Centre at Wallington and our breakfast clubs, offering literacy and numeracy support for year 7s, are still going strong.

Our sincere thanks goes particularly to the Josephines for their invaluable financial support and continued interest in our programs. Funds from the Josephines enabled us to buy six iPads, with programs that are hugely valuable for students with learning needs. This year we say goodbye to valued team members, Eliza Shortal and Harley Doedee. Eliza’s youth and enthusiasm has meant so much to the many students she has worked with over the past almost three years. Past student Harley has been a unique mentor to a number of boys. Harley’s story, and his resilience after losing his legs in a car accident, has given many students insight into the hardships that can be overcome. We thank Harley for his openness and generosity, and wish both Eliza and Harley the very best in their new careers.

“I have improved on many aspects of my knowledge in the areas of Indigenous culture and nationwide problems in society. I have improved on my public speaking as well as how to structure essays.” – Samuel Kelly, Year 9 “Something I enjoyed as a student in this politics class is that everyone is willing to argue their point to the death at the drop of a hat. This enables us to see people at their best and their worst. Emotions flow like the baptismal waters of friendship and we have all grown and matured as students. Nay! As people. This class has been united by their appreciation of each others views and values.” - Jeremy Pryslak 72
Humanities Humanities in 2013 has seen some exciting and dynamic changes to curriculum at the Year 7-10 levels as we move to Australian Curriculum courses. Students and teachers have been working with new programs and new assessment tasks. The following student comments and articles highlight the incredibly diverse range of learning opportunities offered to students through the Humanities programs. From History to Geography to Commerce and Politics, students have been able to become involved in tasks that allow them to develop skills in critical thinking, concept analysis, communication and creativity. Michelle Bishop - Humanities Domain Leader YEAR 9 HUMANITIES In Humanities, I have developed knowledge from a range of different topics that explore history or modern events. Some of these included learning about Aboriginals, wars, Federation and many other significant historical events that allowed me to learn new things. Aidan Patterson As a part of Year 9 Humanities my class created dioramas of Aboriginal houses and huts in groups. Researching and then finding the materials was an interesting way of self-teaching and learning about the way the Aboriginals lived at the time the English first came to Australia. The next step was collecting all the materials needed to create the downsized houses. After the whole class had finished making their models, as a twist the teachers destroyed our models and then asked us how we felt about the wreckage of all our hard work. Of course we felt a bit sad at the loss of all the time and effort we spent making the models but then the teacher asked us how we thought the Aboriginals would have felt when the English invaded and destroyed their homes. In this way we realised how much the Aboriginals had gone through at the hands of the English. All in all it was a good experience and one that I am glad to have had. Matthew Graham YEAR 11 AUSTRALIAN & GLOBAL POLITICS What I liked about this year in my politics class was learning about and keeping up with current events as they occur around the world. I enjoyed talking about these issues through articles posted on a blog every week. I also enjoyed listening to the opinions of others and debating on these issues. It has been a
REFLECTION POEM The task of making aboriginals with their huts and land spread plains, Was wondrous, joyful and more than a game, With each single stick, branch and tree, Constructed and nurtured to the point of praise, With rivers and dams, Shrub and tree, All accompanied by little, loveable, Aboriginal figurines, But all wasn’t to last, As there was an unexpected event, An event that would destroy all of my content, The event turned into an emotional task,
great year. Aidan Sanchez Global Politics is without a doubt my favourite VCE subject that I partake in at St Joseph’s, due to the fascinating, compelling content of the Year 11 course. My favourite activity was the Global Politics blog task that the class participated in. To be able to discuss current political affairs with my peers increased my knowledge of modern social and political issues. This class challenged my views in such a constructive and resounding way, that the learning experience associated with the subject intensified unlike anything that I have ever experienced. Ryan Bentley Politics this year has been a fascinating class. The number of significant world events combined with the wonderful dynamic of our classroom has made for ever-interesting classes and lively class debate. The great thing about this subject is the way in which the curriculum moves with the international political landscape. A highlight this year would have to be a 10 week SAC we had to complete. I know it’s unusual to enjoy something like a 10 week SAC, but in this one we had to post a news article about a world event for 10 weeks, on an online blog. We also had to interpret and analyse the article. The best thing about this task was our ability to comment on each other’s articles. This always made for some very interesting and sometimes fiery online debate. Jack Callahan Politics has been a blast. As a class we have become more aware and informed of our international community. The best task we have done in Politics was the blog where each week we researched and then debated current issues. I really enjoyed this task as it was good to hear other people’s opinions and perspectives. Charlie Purdy One of the aspects I liked about politics class was the arguments and debates that we had on Mondays about current events going on around the world. The class debate on Australia’s position on the Co2 mitigation program was also a lot of fun. One of my favourite tasks that I did by myself was the task on the Yakuza as I am interested in Japanese culture. Thomas Crowe
Breaking and taking away my heart, Much like the event in 1788, I was faced upon a deadly threat, Taken by storm, Dispossessed by fear, I had to destroy what was so dear, Through my devastation and torn up heart, I felt the cries of the aboriginals above, Breathing in deep, Regaining my strength, I realise now, What we did to a bunch of people we only just met. - By Chad Suphamongkol
LitFest 2013 After much planning, the inaugural SJC LitFest was in full swing from August 21-28. The event was a joint initiative of the English Faculty and Library. Eleven authors/artists and the Bell Shakespeare Company performing “Macbeth Undone” brought an amazing variety of creative talent to the College. While the emphasis was on literature there were also fringe performers including singer-songwriters/musicians, graphic artists/novelists, comedians and a hip hop dancer. There were eight workshops per day and lunchtime activities including a Spelling Battle, Short Film Festival and the “Great Debate” between students and staff . A LitFest website was established on CampusGuides to promote the event and manage bookings. The site attracted 2613 visitors. We are indebted to the Bell Shakespeare performers, Declan Fay, Scot Gardner,Arch Ilias,Archie Fusillo, Frank Jones, Valanga Khoza, Sue Lawson, Kate McLennan, Mandy Ord, Tim Pegler and Michael Pryor for inspiring our students and staff. Many students enthusiastically embraced the event. We are also very grateful to our dedicated staff for supporting this initiative and encouraging students to participate. Let’s hope we can stage similar events in the future which will continue to challenge, inform and excite our students about literature and its many, varied and often unexpected forms of expression. Paul Devine - Library Manager & Margot Davies - English Coordinator LITFEST STAFF VS STUDENT DEBATE I had the honour of this year adjudicating the Student vs. Staff LitFest great debate. I had never adjudicated such a debate but was ready to give it a go. The topic was “Facebook has damaged our lives forever” but here’s the twist - the students were arguing against it and the staff were arguing for it. We kicked off with Linda Bentley as the first representative for the staff team. It was a rocky start, however Mrs Bentley’s manner was impeccable. The debate continued with student Ryan Bentley (coincidently, Linda’s son) attempting to rebut the argument. His speech was well written and perfectly articulated. The second speaker for the staff team was Ash Humphries and oh boy was he a crack up. His use of humour combined with interaction with the audience made a great second speaker. He scored the highest thus far. But then came student Thomas Howell, who presented a very good rebuttal case. Paul Clohesy our Deputy Principal came to represent the staff in their Valanga Khoza sharing his stories and his music
final bid to win the debate. He demonstrated to the audience his stance very well and scored well. Jack Callahan summarised the student’s team arguments; he was hilarious and made the entire crowd laugh. Overall only one team could win, and even though I gave the staff team a handicap, they pulled through and beat the students by 2 points. This debate was one to remember and thanks to all involved. Russell Waters The following student comments were recorded immediately after LitFest workshops when students responded with their impressions of the author/performer. We saw Arch llias, he taught us some dance moves and some stuff that takes a lot of time. He taught us about the history of pop and all the clans that do break dancing, it’s not just freestyle - you have to do it to the music. It was really cool. Really good, so cool, fantastic, we learnt a lot of stuff about the great author Sue Lawson, amazing. She taught us how to do different ideas for writing and how to write a good story and how to put ideas on a mind map e.g. when, where, who and how - just an amazing experience. We saw Valanga Khoza, he had been in South Africa, he was in a refugee camp, he played us music and sang and he gave us real insight into his history and music. He is really inspirational, from what he told us he has been through a lot. He showed us how to play various traditional instruments, like the drum, some sort of guitar that he made while living over there in a refugee camp. Mandy Ord certainly has talent and was very informative. It was good to see the way she perceived life and just put it in her drawings. She is really good at what she does with the graphic novels and all that. She has got her own style and her own everything, it’s just great. I saw Archie Fusillo, who is actually a great author, and he opened my eyes to some things I haven’t even seen yet, even as an aspiring author. We just saw Michael Pryor and he was a really good author. He writes fantasy and I liked his creativity, his enthusiasm and his work.

Student LItFest posts on CampusGuides “Our class loved Arch Ilias because he was amazing. He taught us how to do break dancing and simple basics to get started. At the end of the period he showed us what he can do - he’s practically a rolling ball! Looked awesome. Thanks. - Jack Keating, Year 8 “Mandy Ord was great, really fun and interesting.” - Jack Paterson Year 11

Break dancing with Arch Ilias 73
English “We did hip-hop and he showed us how to do ‘b boy/b girl’ moves and it was really interesting to find out what he does as a job. I learnt that there is a lot of good moves out there and many different styles of dancing that look great. At the end of the day we had a good time and we learnt a few tricks.” - Mitchell Wharmby, Year 8
LITFEST REVIEWS Students were asked to write a review on the presenters from this year’s LitFest as part of their english classes, here are some of the responses from the Year 8 class that visited break dancer Arch Illias. My English class and I went to the library to watch a hip hop dancer called Arch Ilias. However, I arrived at school late so I missed out on the first part of the hip hop dance, but it didn’t worry me because I learnt two cool moves.The first is when you get in a bridge position and then kick your feet out and land back in the starting position and then do it again, the second is when you do a headstand and make a picture with your legs like a 4. It was cool. Harry Bateman I saw a guy called Arch Illias; he break dances and does pop style hip hopping and he does all these cool moves. We got up and learned some moves and he showed us step by step how to do some sick moves. It was pretty easy but we looked pretty bad. I learnt not to fall on my face when dancing and to make it look good when you do fall. Dancing is a life skill that when you do meet the ladies you will need. Callum Cruchley During LitFest our class met a special guy named Arch Illias. He was very popular because he has won lots of break dancing competitions. We went to the library to meet Arch, he was very polite and cool and he taught us some dance routines. He even showed us his dance moves he used to win the competition. We attempted it but we couldn’t do it very well! I really enjoyed this experience because it showed me how hard it can be to be a professional breakdancer. Christopher Jurkovic Our class went to see Arch Illias in the library. Arch is a breakdancer and he taught us some of the basic moves he knew. As an audience member we had to participate in some of the activities which included doing basic moves such as stepping in and out and then to the more complex of kicking our legs out while balancing on two arms and doing a different version of the hand stand. From watching and participating in the presentation I learnt how to do some basic dance moves. The highlights were the hand stand moves. It was the most fun because I could actually do it!

As a part of St Joseph’s College Literature Festival a variety of authors, musicians, artists and comedians came to the college to talk about their work. My Year 9 English class was fortunate enough to be recipients of Archimede Fusillo’s experience as an author. Archie came into the class and immediately had our attention with his interesting teaching methods. He started off by giving us 9 words that barely anyone knew the meaning of and asked us to create a sentence with them. When we finished he told us a sentence that included all the complex words, but no-one understood what the sentence meant. He then repeated the sentence using simple words and managed to get the meaning of the sentence across to us and made us laugh in the process. Through this he taught us to Keep It Simple Stupid or KISS for short and to always choose a simple word over a complex one. Matthew Graham -Year 9 FOUNDATION ENGLISH This year as part of Litfest the Year 9 foundation English class listened to award winning author Archimede Fusillo. The class read the novel “The Dons” in Term 3. In this novel Archie captures the voices, cultures and the pain and joy of being young and old. After reading the novel the boys made their own board games about the novel. Congratulations to all the boys for the work they completed.

English YEAR 7 ENGLISH We have been lucky enough to have the use of our laptops for researching assignments and learning about grammar through the use of Knowledge Quest. In Semester 1 we completed reading and writing tasks about refugees. We learnt about the reasons why refugees risk their lives to escape war torn countries and travel on very old boats to find a better life in Australia. We enjoyed reading the picture book “The Littlest Refugee” by Anh Do. It was really interesting to learn about the lives and day to day struggles of refugees. Our class loved reading the book “Pankration” and writing an essay on it in Semester 2. Writing the text response for the first time using TEEL was a new experience for many of us. During term 4 we will be creating a movie to help the 2014 group of Year 7 boys settle in to our school. We have enjoyed going to the library every two weeks. Some tips to do well in English are to be organised and listen all the time. Liam Benzie, Fionn Guina-Stannard, Sam Ford & Carlin McCloskey - 7C YEAR 9 ENGLISH OUTSIDERS & SCI-FI Year 9 “Outsiders and Sci-Fi” presented us with a broad and enticing range of texts and other various materials to study. Our class was exposed to context writing for the first time and we began to apply this knowledge in our first study of the film “Billy Elliot.” After progressing through a variety of texts and another film, we arrived at a creative writing task associated with our Sci-Fi unit.This particular task was my personal favourite as there are few opportunities where this style of writing is available; I was certainly pleased when it was actually recommended for the task. For the second year I’ve been involved with an excellent subject that should seriously be considered when choosing an English subject in Year 9. Rhys Hegyesi - Year 9
YEAR 10 ENGLISH Tips I have for students studying Year 10 English… Do the work, be organised, and make sure you understand what you learn. – Benjamin Cotter You should really focus on the work you do in class and complete everything.You should also choose who you sit with carefully so they don’t distract you. Reread or do something similar that you did in class at home. – Adam Ryzner When studying the text ‘Night’ by ElieWiesel, I developed… My writing skills and reading skills. – Noah Piper An understanding of the cruel and inhumane practices that went on during Hitler’s reign of power in Germany. Hearing a first-hand account of what went on gave me more respect for the victims of the Holocaust. – Samuel Hoare A greater understanding of the events and history surrounding the Holocaust. Studying the novel also helped to create ideas for my creative piece. – Connor MacKenzie Throughout the Courage unit at the beginning of the year, I engaged with… The movie ‘The Boy in Striped Pyjamas’ and the book ‘Night’ by Elie Wiesel. – Nathan Keating Many different types of war texts which helped me develop techniques for future pieces of writing. – Xavier Thomson
“During the Conformity and Rebellion context study, I learned… that you don’t have to conform all the time, and rebellion is sometimes the only way to change things, but at the same time, rebellion isn’t always a good or bad thing.” – Patrick Carnie
MACBETH PERFORMANCE I walked into the Macbeth performance with the same attitude I took on myself leading up to any other school-organised drama performance. I had it set up in my head that second year drama students would play something written for young people by old people and that we’d have to clap politely at the end. However, after studying Macbeth it was really interesting to see someone else’s take on the themes we had been covering in Lit class. The performance challenged us to look beyond the boundaries of the story and was played in a way that allowed us to relate to certain aspects of the script and character traits. It showed us how real and important Shakespearean script is to our everyday lives and - despite it being written 500 years ago – our future. Gabriel Rule - Year 10

Creative Writing Year 11 Literature student Josh Conway, came runners-up in a National writing competition, run by Written Portraits, in September. He flew up to Sydney for the awards ceremony and we are very proud of his achievement. “SOFA COMFORT” There’s the chair that Dad sits on, and seemingly makes his throne every night. The other chair five meters to its extreme left is sparingly used, its hallmark bits of cotton being pulled from the seams at the bottom, thanks to the household cat clawing at it. That annoys everyone. Peeping through the gateway formed by the kitchen entrance, there sits a TV at the end of the lounge room, sitting upon a table. Mum always says I watch it too much. I always rebut that by saying I can’t ever watch enough TV, especially when it comes to sport. It is truly the single greatest divider between success and failure. Regardless, precious photos of numerous things, including family, dreams, and my face surround parts of the room, along with a book case with novels that haven’t seen the light of day since Mum’s University escapades, and as much as she’d hate me to say this, that stretches a fair way back, although last time Mum told everyone how old she was around the Christmas table, she was 38. Year before that I could’ve sworn she was 35. Funny that. As I continue to pan around the room, there’s my laptop charger untidily dangling out of the power plug. Dad hates that. My reasoning for having it there falls on Dad’s deaf ears. Not because he can’t hear, more that he chooses not to. He doesn’t really have time for technology. Every time I try to explain why Facebook is a necessity, why Snapchat is so popular and the point of having Instagram, I realise that I am talking to the same man who can’t use his own mobile phone, which is probably a decade old. Oh look, there are the neighbours leaving again, as I look through the room’s landscape windows. They are odd people, recluses if you will. The trees sway in the light breeze, as if someone is at the base of its trunk, politely asking if it could climb up, shaking it in the process. The clouds above that are dark-ish, slightly threatening, but it’s one of those days where it just looks cold.Whereas others may go to bed in this situation, and tuck up to be warm, I go to my sofa, the last remaining object of the lounge room. It’s maroon in colour, not massive but its slick leather is a tempting option. I love this sofa. There are few things in the world which provide such clarity of mind, of comfort, of safety, of belonging, as my beloved sofa. Yes, the leather can get cold in winter months, but that’s why there’s always two rugs draped off its two arms every single day of the year like Superman and his cape, unless they are wrapped around my good self. I am now cocooned. I am safe. Dammit. That air of safety momentarily leaves me. I have to reach for the remote of the TV on the coffee table at the centre of this room. I take one arm out of my new cocoon and stretch for the remote. I’m agonisingly close, but not close enough. If Maxwell Smart were here, he’d make a quip about distance, but it’s almost too corny to say now. I try to reach further. I can feel the socket of my right shoulder getting to its wits end. I can’t go any further. More safety leaves my conscience, and I have to lift my right leg from under the rugs, as I was lying horizontally on the maroon leather, to get that extra distance to reach the remote. I get to it. I curse myself, as now half of my body is cold and it will take a 76
few minutes to warm up again. But I quickly remind myself that there are children in Africa who can’t get to water, so I deflate my warming ego a little more. Ah. I exhale. Warmth again. The TV flicks on, a short spark ignites the plasma screen, and I get to Channel 7. It’s Sunday. It’s 3 o’clock. That means only one thing- footy. It doesn’t matter who’s playing, I’ll still watch. I love it. I still haven’t found anything that matches Victorian’s love for the game of AFL. There are not many places on Earth you can shake hands with someone you have never met in your life before, and most likely won’t again, other than at a game of footy, and talk about the game like lifelong friends, all because they support the same team you do. Brilliant. Back in my lounge room, Melbourne are playing Carlton. The game is about to start. I’m snugged up, the rugs just about touching the end of my chin, for optimal warmth. My feet find the end of the sofa, in the same way your legs find the back of a seat flying economy, only I am lying down. Nonetheless, I’m set for the day. Or am I? Dammit. I jumped the gun. I have nothing to snack on. I begrudgingly get up to the fridge, to find something to eat and drink. Sometimes it doesn’t have to be eatable. Occasionally I will chew on one of the cords stemming from the neck of my hoodie, but I’m not wearing that jumper today.Yoghurt and lemonade will do. I strategically place my remote to my left on the back of the sofa, resting on the wall. My phone rests on my stomach, ready to check any messages that filter through. I quickly check Facebook. Same old same old. Depressed teens saying how hard life is, and happy teens saying how happy they are with their partner of one month. Sometimes I wonder what generation I live in. I also wonder where to put my glass of lemonade. The floor has to do, the table to too far away to reach. I again remind myself of poverty stricken Africa, and put it on the table. It’s the least I can do. My yoghurt straddles my right hip, and the end of the couch, almost as snug as me and my rugs. Now truly, I am set as I hear the MCG siren billow out of my TV. The game is not even 5 minutes old and I’m already tapping away on my iPhone, checking 5 different social platforms in a minute. Again, I wonder what our generation has come to, indeed what I have too. The clock ticks by as I alternate my time checking Supercoach fantasy points of the game I am watching, and the game itself. The hapless Dees are doing what they do best. Losing. I polish off my yoghurt, place it on the ground and shut my tired eyes. I know I have got this to write, and r, but you subjects to study for, know what? There iss nowhere old Sunday I’d rather be on a cold afternoon, dosing off with the footballl w in my ears, a pillow to lean on, with myy fa beloved, comfy sofa te to lie on. Absolute bliss. Josh Conway - Year 11
LOTE LOTE has had some wonderful experiences this year and continues to give students an opportunity to grow and develop their appreciation of the cultures and languages that exist outside their everyday lives. 2013 has seen a successful LOTE year where students visited and participated in activities in China town, the NGV and Lygon Street, to hosting students from Milan and having past St Joseph’s students talk about how they have extended successfully their studies in Chinese. “Learn as you use and use as you learn” this will be the Year 9 LOTE motto at Westcourt in 2014. Students will not only enrich their learning of another language and culture in class but will also have the opportunity to put into practice their language skills and knowledge in everyday situations. This will consolidate their love of the language and show them the opportunities and enrichments that another language can give. It will be about connecting with reality. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the LOTE staff who have worked very hard to continue to promote and encourage learning a language. Anna Fazio – LOTE Coordinator.
getting the chance to eat Chinese food and socialise. Learning Chinese can be difficult and is hard, but we also have fun in doing so and we realise that in learning Chinese we will benefit in the future. Will Turnley - Year 9.
As a part of Year 9 Chinese my class had the opportunity to go on an excursion to a Chinese restaurant along with the Year 9 Matthew Flinders’ Chinese class. Once there we sampled the Chinese Cuisine available at the restaurant. Although conversation was a bit slow between the boys and girls we all ended up having a good time and enjoyed the food that the restaurant had to offer. Matt Graham -Year 9 ITALIAN A particularly memorable experience for me this year was attending the opera in Melbourne. We saw Verdi’s “Aida” at the Arts Centre. This was a highlight for me and a break from studying. It was an enjoyable evening.
CHINESE: This year in Chinese I have realised that it is about more than just learning another language. It is about opening different options and opportunities later in life. Learning Chinese you also learn a lot about English as well, and is very rewarding.The highlights of learning Chinese have been The Culture Day last year and also the joint excursion with Matthew Flinders,
Overall Year 12 Italian was a rewarding experience and it is sad to see my Italian studies coming to an end. Michael Podbury - Year 12

In Year 12 Italian, we bonded even more over our love of the Italian culture as we pondered about our appreciation for the Italian lifestyle, their products and their influence on the Australian culture. It is with great sadness that we finish our Italian studies this year, a subject which has been in all of our hearts since we began high school in 2008. Nathan Cavallo - Year 12

Student Artworks at the Arts Assembly
The Arts Faculty continues to be a vibrant and integral part of the school curriculum. Throughout 2013 a variety of events have taken place, which have not only enriched and broadened the educational experience of the students, but have also benefited the wider community of St Joseph’s. Some highlights have been the Associated Catholic Colleges Art Exhibition at Federation Square with 24 students entering a range of visual art, the Stage Band and the Vocal Ensemble competed in the Mt Gambier Jazz Festival, a National Competition with over 3000 students taking part, the Associated Catholic Colleges Rock Music Workshop and the Associated Catholic Colleges Drama workshop. Our Arts Faculty, which is comprised of the subject areas, Art, Visual Communication, Media, Drama and Music, have continued to work collaboratively, with a focus on extending student experience in a range of mediums and activities. The level of skill development can be seen here in the Arts pages of our Virtus Magazine and highlights the depth of talent and opportunity within our student community. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Arts Faculty teachers who tirelessly and professionally work with the students to achieve outstanding results. The students should be rightly proud of their achievements within the arts. We hope you enjoy this small insight into the Arts faculty in these pages of the Virtus. Anne Condon - Arts Coordinator
UNITS 1 & 2 MEDIA This year was my first year of media and much was learnt from Units 1 & 2. In class we planned and developed a variety of short films in groups that required us to think outside the box through using different media techniques such as camera angles and lighting elements. We constructed our films using a program new to me called ‘Sony Vegas’, optimising its features to produce high quality products. We analysed films and made close attention to media in Australia, the rules and regulations and impact of ownership for different media types. I immensely enjoyed this subject this year and I would recommend it to any Year 10s wishing to take it up next year or wanting to accelerate into it. Michael Kakouros - Year 11 YEAR 10 MEDIA In Year 10 Media we started off watching two films: the 1960 version of Psycho and the 1998 remake. We did an assignment, studying the different types of scenes, what the filmmakers did well and also what we liked and didn’t like. After we finished, we had to choose a scene that we liked from any movie and present to the class about the lighting, camera angles, mis-enscene etc. that helped construct the scene. Now we are currently in the process of making our own short film. We will be filming at The Heights across the road from Joey’s. There is a lot of work to be done but the final piece will be great! The new skills that I have learnt are analysing scenes and finding all the little techniques that directors use that make the scene so good. I am currently learning how to write a good script for my short film. I enjoy every media class because everything we do its involved around short films and movies and I really like looking at movies and talking about what is good in the film. Samuel Coppe - Year 10 YEAR 8 MEDIA I have really enjoyed Year 8 Media in Semester 2! We have been learning about film techniques and how we can make an enjoying and an exciting short film in the Action Genre. In Media I have learnt how I can make a film and what kind of camera angles and shots as well as some sick effects which can make a film exciting. Media has been really exciting and I can’t wait to keep doing it in the future. Nathan Rivalland - Year 8

Arts Faculty In Year 8 Media we have done many things for example we made a blueprint of our house labelling where entertainment devices were, we watched the movie Die Hard and some short films which we then proceeded to analyse and list key points and scenes in them. We also produced our own action scene. These tasks among others have helped us to develop skills in: editing, filming and analysing films. In this topic I enjoyed making a short film/ action scene. All in all I have immensely enjoyed this subject and hope to do more in the area. Liam Keogh - Year 8
artworks in Term 3 was also another highlight, being able to see our hard work followed through to final artworks is really enjoyable to see. I’ve really enjoyed creative freedom in Studio Arts. It’s been a great year. Nicholas Rushbrook
Joshua Davies - Year 11 Studio Art VCE STUDIO ARTS UNIT 1&2 Studio Arts has been a blast.
Zachary Carter - Year 10 Photography VCE STUDIO ARTS UNIT 3&4 Year 12 Studio Arts this year has been a great choice of subject for me and many of the other students. We have been given the opportunity to create our own individual artworks and development through our folios. This year we have also studied two artists, Eugene von Guerard and Tracey Moffatt. In addition to this we have also studied two exhibition spaces and their exhibitions. We studied Geelong Gallery and their exhibition “Impressions of Geelong” and Metropolis Galley’s exhibit “Kenneth Jack: Rare and Classic Works”. Year 12 studio art has given me the opportunity to create my own art works over the course of the year with creative freedom in the design process to refine our ideas. We are given lots of freedom to create individual folios and final artworks, which is one of the best aspects of Studio Arts. I have really enjoyed being left to develop my ideas over time and independently. Creating our final Riley Sherman - Year 11
“What I have enjoyed most about Studio Arts is the freedom and self-expression that it allows you to have. Not having done Studio Arts before, I have found it completely inspiring” - Charlie Purdy Year 11
This year in Units 1 and 2 we explored a wide variety of different art mediums including drawing, printmaking, photography, painting and some other mixed media. From these different types of art we have created folios to show our development of our ideas and skills, also we have looked deep into the minds of some very well-known artists, including Tom Roberts, Rosalie Gascoigne, Max Dupain and Ben Quilty, where we have written many visual analyses to convey our understanding of their ideas and techniques. Whilst developing my artworks throughout the year I have gathered some new skills and techniques which had the ultimate goal of enhancing my artworks, how to succinctly convey my ideas through annotations and how to apply the design process to develop my work. Throughout Studio Arts I have also refined some old skills like time management. What I have enjoyed most about Studio Arts is the freedom and self-expression that it allows you to have. Not having done Studio Arts before, I have found it completely inspiring, as it has exposed me to a range of creativity and has also given me the skills required to further my own art.

Arts Faculty “To finish off the semester we have created two paintings- one acrylic and one oil, in which we got to experiment with different colours, textures and techniques. This subject has been fun and also makes you feel free. You are able to express yourself and be creative and think outside the box.” Mark Ranasinghe Year 9
YEAR 7 ART & DESIGN Throughout this semester, Mrs Spark has taught us many skills that we will use in the Art Program. We learnt how to use line, tone, shadings, light, 3D, 2D, rendering and much more. We used paint, clay, oil pastels and many other different materials to make our creations. We made fantasy monsters and/or aliens in our clay. Also in printmaking we printed a drawing of our choice using lines and squiggles. Through all the learning and hard work we all had lots of fun. A big thanks to Mrs Spark for being our art teacher for 2013. Jake McCorkell - Year 7 Jay Dalli - Year 10, mixed media drawing YEAR 9 ART 2D Throughout this semester we have explored many key aspects and techniques of 2D art making. This includes sketching and smudging to create realistic images and mixed media drawings (which consist of more than one type of medium). We also completed still life drawings using mediums such as dry pastel, charcoal, oil pastel, colour pencils and watercolour pencils. Etching was great and quite a precise process, scratching a design into printing perspex, filling the scratch marks with ink and then rolling it through a printing press with paper to create a print. To finish off the semester we have created two paintings- one acrylic and one oil, in which we got to experiment with different colours, textures and techniques. This subject has been fun and also makes you feel free.You are able to express yourself and be creative and think outside the box. Mark Ranasinghe - Year 9 YEAR 8 ART 2D In 2D art, we had the chance to draw a famous or well-known person from Geelong. We then entered our artwork into Geelong’s Art Gallery competition. The Gallery chose pieces of art to be viewed for the public to see. In Term 3, we got to design a lino print.A lino print is a printing technique, when you cut into a piece of lino to create a picture.Then cover it with ink and press it onto paper to create your print. I really enjoyed this subject because it was fun and I got the pp y to create ggreat pieces of art. opportunity Lucas Pante - Year 8
YEAR 10 INTRODUCTION TO STUDIO ARTS Year 10 Introduction to Studio Arts covers a range of different techniques and working practices including drawing, printmaking, painting and photography. We learnt to create mixed media art and based our work on Picasso’s artwork called “Guernica”. We painted on canvas and used paste ups to them and finally coated them with resin to give a glass like finish. All our skills are refined and we learnt new skills in this unit, preparing us hopefully for VCE Studio Arts next year. This unit is great because it’s very laid back and at the same time rewarding.

Arts Faculty YEAR 8 INDUSTRIAL DESIGN In creative advertisement each individual student made their own creative advertisement about a product of their choice. It was designed and produced on Photoshop. All students developed excellent advertisements and had fun doing it. The Westcourt diary cover task was very similar to the creative advertisement task but took more concentration and Photoshop techniques to complete the design boundaries and create what could be the next diary cover. The class worked long and hard to come out with a masterpiece fit for a king. Year 8s continued with their creative advertising, by making a standee for their product. Each student produced a creative innovative standee that would be store worthy. Joseph McDonald, Nathan Kerger, & Connor Bennett - Year 8 YEAR 9 DRAWING AND DESIGN Drawing and Design this year was pretty exciting. I learned to draw housing plans, developed Photoshop skills, extended my knowledge in Sketch Up and learned many different methods of 3D drawing. For me, this subject has been really fun. Personally I love the architecture side of the subject, like the Housing Pod plans and design. I got to create a floor plan from scratch and bring it to life through Google Sketch Up. The best part was seeing what I created in three dimensions with colours and textures too. So all-inall, this class taught me a lot and I recommend it to anyone who has a passion for drawing and/or wants to learn new techniques and skills. Daniel Rabat - Year 9
Finn Chappell - Year 9 YEAR 9 PHOTOGRAPHY This semester in photography I was able to develop a range of skills and knowledge through various photographic tasks. The tasks consisted of taking photos for a particular purpose, principle and/or aesthetic quality. Photo tasks were based around the art elements, vantage point, rule of thirds and art principles. There were also tasks of self-expression and a mixed media artwork. We also ventured on excursions such as one to Melbourne to take urban landscape photos. Through all the tasks and theory I have learned skills such as using framing techniques and the art elements and principles to take photos of high, detailed quality. To say what was my favourite or most enjoyable part of this topic is near impossible. From theory to the finished artwork it was all completed with an enjoyable and eager mindset. Chad Suphamongkol - Year 9

With the renovation of the two Visual Communication Design rooms the students have enjoyed the advantage of having a more open versatile work space, larger screens to plug their laptops into which has enabled them to hone their skills and refine their work when using computer programs such as Sketchup, Photoshop and Illustrator. VCE classes have had the challenge this year of embracing a new study design which has brought many new challenges for them but has resulted in a more in depth understanding of the skills and concepts that underpin the three design fields. Year 12 has excelled in their achievements to produce most creative individual pieces. I would like to commend everyone in the class for their work ethic and dedication in completing folios and finals for Unit 3 and 4 and in preparation for their exam. The diverse range of skills gained will certainly help them move confidently into their chosen courses/work in 2014.

I would like to acknowledge the Visual Communication Design teachers Simon Cahir, Leanne Adams and Lauren Barton who continue to work to develop innovative courses for our students to enable them
The year has been great and all students would like to thank teachers as they were especially helpful in guiding us to aspire to our high work standards and dedicated work ethic. Nick Pecchiari - Year 12 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN – YEAR 9 DESIGN MARKETING During the Visual Communication Design – Design Marketing subject our task was to create our own fashion brand. This included the development of a brand logo created through the use of Adobe Illustrator, a swing-tag for our product and also a bag. Throughout the design process we produced a folio which recorded each step we took to develop a final product.The steps were shown through brainstorming, research, concept and refined illustrations and print-screens. Each of these planning stages was accompanied by annotations, which explained our opinion on the option, the art elements and principles that were present in the design and how they were depicted. By completing this subject I have gained insight into the different compositions, elements and principles of design and how to apply them to my work. I have also learned the basic functions of Adobe Illustrator such as the shape tool and how to clip mask an image to the shape of another object. Edward Gude - Year 9 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN This year in Visual Communication Design I have explored the wide variety of design available. I have researched, planned and refined throughout the year and created my very own personal housing pod using Sketch Up to bring my ideas into a 3D virtual world. I Ned Harris & Samuel Simpson - Year 9
Arts Faculty then worked on advertising my pod and using creative ways to display the highlights of my pod. In all the year helped me to understand the rules of the design process and help me to continue on to VCE Visual Communication Design. Adam Karpinski - Year 9 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN – PACKAGING DESIGN Our main task in Packaging Design, was to design and construct a package for a product. We were able to produce packaging that looked extremely professional. The task has also allowed me to improve my ability to be creative, form new ideas and apply them to my work.Taking this subject has allowed me to immensely improve my Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator skills, as well as my ability to construct a visual diary. Another task for this subject was to design a creative advertisement for our product. This had to be unique, creative and appealing to consumers. The most enjoyable part of this subject was experimenting with the design of all our products. This experimentation allowed the class to share ideas with each other, provide constructive criticism and assist each other with the tasks that we worked on. Alexander Fama - Year 9 MERCHANDISING AND BRANDING In Merchandising and Branding we spent heaps of time researching and designing our creative pop up shop/warehouse. We also looked at different ways of branding and advertising out products. We liked making the actual model as it was a fun thing to do. The amount of detail we did on the model was great too. Making the brand/logo was fun because we got to use our imaginations and we were able to use Photoshop and manipulate the images. Written by the students of the class FOLIO PRESENTATION In Folio we made and constructed a coffee shop café for a design brief we wrote. We needed to design a plan drawing first and then develop a highly detailed foam board or straw board model.We displayed them in the administration foyer and they looked fantastic. We were all very proud of our efforts. Our next task was to design and construct a menu stand and menu that would be suitable to be on the table in our café.
Joseph Loughnan - Year 10 We became over the semester very good at technical drawing (plan and isometric projections) and also photoshop. We made our menu stands from a variety of materials such as timber, perspex and alloys. Written by the students of the Folio class DRAMA Some highlights for this year included classes exploring Physical Theatre visiting The Kid’s Space, A Circus School here in Geelong, to try some new physical skills like The Slack Wire and the Aerial Silks. ks.

2013 has been a busy and rewarding year for St Joseph’s College Music Department.We held an in-house Music Camp at the College in Term 1 which provided an early stimulus for our performing groups. We were delighted to have Sue Arney work with our Junior and Intermediate Bands as well as visiting Melbourne and local expert teachers, who helped kick start the Senior and Stage Bands. Edstock was again a popular event during Edmund Rice Day with some quality performances delivered. Audience support was evident and all the boys were well supported. ‘Rycka’, Riley Harman and Mackenzie Heard, was awarded the trophy as a result of a very promising performance. This band has grown and developed during the year. The Mothers’ Day Mass is not only a special day for Mothers and Sons, but also special because it marks the first performance of our Junior Band Academy. The ACC held successful workshops in Melbourne for the Vocal Ensemble, Percussionists, Intermediate Band and Senior Band. Later in the year, St Joseph’s hosted the ACC Rock Day. This featured workshops by expert tutors and culminated in ‘The Battle of The Bands’. A young band from Christian Brothers College carried off the Trophy. The challenge still remains for a St Joseph’s College Band to be the first band from SJC to win this event. The Stage Band and Vocal Ensemble travelled to Mt Gambier in May for ‘Generations in Jazz’. This has developed into an impressive National Festival featuring 3,000 students from all parts of Australia.The Stage Band performed with assuredness and polish and finished in the top half of their division. Whilst the Vocal Ensemble was quite inexperienced compared to other groups, they nevertheless performed with energy and will have gained much experience from the event. The appearance of Gordon Goodwin and his ‘Big Phat Band’ together with James Morrison and Megan Washington provided staff and students with inspirational music making of the highest calibre. In July we hosted Freyberg High School from Palmerston North, New Zealand. A busy day of workshops was followed by a very successful Concert and Supper. It is hoped that we might visit
Freyberg High School in 2015 during our proposed tour to New Zealand. The Talent Quest resulted in Thomas Veitch and Ryan Bentley winning the Junior and Senior Solo Sections.The Junior Group was won in spectacular style by ‘The Celtic Thunder Trio’ consisting of brothers Patrick, Colm and Gerard O’Connor. The Senior Group saw the ‘Cicada Cadence’, formerly ‘Rycka’, the Edstock winners, now augmented by Sebastian Rawson and Jeremy Pryslak, awarded the prize. Many students performed in AMEB examinations at this time. Special mention must be made of Matthew Graham(Yr 9), Liam Jelley(Yr 8) and Eamon Dooley (Yr9) who achieved High Distinction passes. Our music Co-Captain Jeremy King has had an outstanding year. Jeremy won the Geelong Star Quest Competition in July. He followed this up with an impressive runner-up performance in the State WIDE Classical Concerto competition. Together with fellow Music Co–Captain Michael Podbury he was awarded the Parents and Friends Trophy for service to Music in the College. Jeremy was also awarded the prestigious Matthew Shelley Cup. Michael and Jeremy have been stalwart members of The Senior Band and Stage Band since Year 7. August saw the Vocal Ensemble perform at another Citizenship Ceremony at Geelong Town Hall. The Senior Ensembles performed in the Victorian School Music Festival in Melbourne. The Senior Concert Band received a platinum award for their performance. This is the highest award conferred to bands each year. We were delighted to be included among the top performances in our division. The Stage Band was awarded a Silver Award and the Intermediate Band a Bronze Award at the Victorian School Music Festival for solid performances. Many boys were involved in the Sacred Heart College Production,’ The Irresistible Rise of Arturo Ui’. Thomas Vlamis lead a number of boys in leading roles all of whom performed very well in a lively and challenging production. September saw the Concert Band combine with Clonard and Sacred Heart Colleges to perform at the Royal South Street Eisteddfod. The Band performed really well and was awarded 3rd prize. The Junior Band Academy participated in the inaugural Junior Bands Festival held at St Joseph’s College. This was organized by Mr Michael Wilding and proved to be a
Music very successful evening.We hope to repeat this event in 2014. October saw The Stage Band perform at St Thomas Aquinas School Fair and Investiture Assembly along with the Senior Band. The Senior Concert Band performed again in the Geelong Secondary Schools Bands Competition held as part of the Geelong Show. The Junior Band Academy once more performed for the incoming Year 7 Cohort. They undertook their traditional end of year tour to Clairvaux and Mother of God Ardeer schools, after earlier performing in The Victorian School Music Festival. All our ensembles rounded off a busy but satisfying year performing in the Annual Awards and Music Showcase Evening at Costa Hall. Thanks to all the students, Directors of Ensembles, Instrumental and Vocal Teachers, parents and all teachers at St Joseph’s College who continue to support our program.

Science I remember in the late nineties watching a film about a group of teenage boys who took up the challenge of rocketry. The film was October Sky, a true story set in the late 1950’s and inspired by the launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite. I vividly recalled watching the film wondering how powerful that significant event must have been for the boys pursuing a challenge of sending a rocket into the upper atmosphere, a time when rocket technology was in such infancy. I won’t go on about the journey the boys had and how the movie ended but I do wholeheartedly recommend it. What I do want to extract from the movie are the endeavours of thousands of people who through trial and error, sleepless nights, accidental discoveries and budget cuts have contributed so much to the scientific community and in turn made a difference to every single, individual species on this planet. The human spirit endures a lot of knock backs and knock downs but through this all it helps us build resilience and offers us the capacity to persevere. Our students similarly work hard in striving to realise their full potential by building on the skills needed in achieving success in all areas of science. Every class and practical is centred on skill acquisition and inquiry with each year building on the last and all manifested through action. For example in Year 7, students utilised acquired skills in Scientific method to design an experiment to separate different components in a mixture. Our Year 8’s expanded on their instructional and ICT skills by creating a slowmation of a geological phenomenon. Slowmation is a stop motion animation using multiple digital still images played continuously at an increased frame rate and the boys relished this. The Year 9’s continued the questioning, analysing and reporting skills with ‘Bust-A-Myth’, a unit where students worked collaboratively to debunk myths like the infamous ‘3 second rule’. By Year 10 the students who were confident in having acquired the necessary skills were given the option to undertake Psychology, Biology or Psychology or continue to hone their skills by specialising in Year 10 subjects like ‘Darwin, Freud and Flannery’ a Biology, Psychology and Environmental stream or Curie and Tesla a Chemistry and Physics stream.
being receptacles of knowledge, to more meaningful learning by considering different viewpoints, develop hypotheses, test solutions, and become truly engaged in the learning process. Students in all year levels were involved in in-school activities facilitated by external organisations with the aim of showcasing Science as an endeavour. Adam Morrissey led a group which included theYear 7 leaders to plant over a thousand trees as part of national tree planting day. Professor Bunsen presented some real world Science to the Year 8s. CERES conducted workshops for the Year 9s in environmental science respectively. Year 10s in the Darwin, Freud and Flannery subject were also involved in a hands-on workshop focusing on genetics. This is the last year our Year 9 Science curriculum will run at the St Joseph’s main campus with the year level moving over to Westcourt on Minerva Road. With this transition this marks also the last year The Patch will run as is. The Patch has grown from humble beginnings with 4 beds, a tiny shed, and water tank and catering to only 12 students. Over the last five years the class sizes have tripled, 8 more beds added and the word spreading about the importance of sustainable practices. Continuing with the Westcourt theme, a major boon for next year’s Year 9s will be the abundance of space and increased flexibility timetable which will allow units like ‘Forensics’ to evolve to include a purpose built crime scene, introduce cross-curricular units like ‘Gastronomy Science’ and also the creation of a new elective ‘Biology on the Move’ which will utilise the Barwon river as its teaching space.
“The Patch has grown from humble beginnings with 4 beds, a tiny shed, and water tank and catering to only 12 students. Over the last five years the class sizes have tripled, 8 more beds added and the word spreading about the importance of sustainable practices.” – Ashwin Pillai
I would like to also take this opportunity to thank all of our dedicated team members and students for their continued enthusiasm and diligent approach to participating in building our Science curriculum. I look forward to Samantha Eggleton who will be heading the Science department and wish her and the team an exciting 2014. Ashwin Pillai - Science Domain Leader

“Myself and 12 other students were selected to travel to Kardinia International College to participate in a “Pedal Power Challenge”. The challenge consisted of St Joseph’s vs. Kardinia to see who could generate the biggest amount of clean energy by powering a series of bikes on wind trainers. Of course Joey’s won! ” - Tyrone Butterworth, Year 11 The water trough that is to be converted to a garden bed
Sustainability With the inception of the role of a Sustainability Coordinator and a student Sustainability Leadership group, it has been an exciting and rewarding year working together to initiate and implement various Sustainability endeavours, with the overall aim of reducing waste at the College. Some of the initiatives implemented this year have included: multiple “Cut the Wrap” days complemented by the “I Like Waste Free Lunches” rap song, fully commingled recycling and composting in Year 7 & 8 areas, food technology, canteens and staffroom, recycling ‘soft plastics’, through the REDCycle program, recycling poster competition, basketball ring posters inside bin lids, battery & mobile phone recycling, transformation of water trough station, paper re-use trays in classrooms, double-sided printing and Sustainability signature on staff emails. In addition, with Core and Energy modules of the ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic program completed in previous years, this year we undertook the Waste module under the guidance of Anthony Mangelsdorf (Project Manager, Barwon South West ResourceSmart Schools, Barwon Regional Waste Management Group). Kelly Jenkins - Sustainability Coordinator PEDAL POWER CHALLENGE, On the 15 March, thirteen St Joseph’s boys went down to Kardinia International College, to be in the exciting Pedal Power Challenge. The day was to promote cleaner energy sources and to see how much power we could produce with push bikes. We basically had a relay on these bikes and see which school could produce the highest amount of power. Lots of schools went and we all learnt something new and fantastic on that day. At the Pedal Power Challenge all of the JJoey’s boys had a blast, and are looking for a chance to do something like it again soon. Benjamin Cazaly - Year 11 SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS WORKSHOP On Thursday 2 May, Year 11 Sustainability Leaders Benjamin Cazaly, Jack Callahan and Alexander Lukacz participated in the Sustainability Leader’s Conference at Clonard College. Facilitated by staff from CERES, Environmental Park, Brunswick, the conference proved to be an invaluable experience, providing insight and inspiration for our students regarding their role as Sustainability Leaders. This day marked the inception of ideas such as the “Cut the Wrap” rap and basketball ring posters for the large wheelie bins.

NATIONAL TREE PLANTING DAY July 26 was a day Environmentalists would rejoice! When the Year 7 leaders and some of the Clonard, Sacred Hart and St Joseph’s VCE Environmental Science students, planted trees along the Bellarine Rail Trail. We met Lyn Wilcock from Greening Australia, who showed us how to plant trees. By the end of the day, the combined group ended up planting a massive 400 shrubs and trees. It was a good experience and I would love to do it again. Gabriel Hickey - Year 7 SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT On 15 - 16 August, several students from the Sustainability Leadership Group at SJC went to a Summit meeting, hosted by the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, the City of Greater Geelong and the Barwon Regional Waste Management Group. There were dozens of students from other schools who went. Over the course of the two days we were informed in depth about the more acute and less publicized effects of certain environmental disregards, particularly climate change. One fact that resounded in our minds was that the permafrost glaciers, that contain large amounts of methane gas, are close to melting. When we reach this point there will be nothing we can do to stop global warming because the methane will absorb the heat and keep getting hotter. With such heavy thoughts, it can become easy to lose sight of how much change one person can really make. The main point the organisation got across to us was that it is our generation that has the responsibility. Climate change has never been more threatening, but it has also never been so beatable. It is up to us! Dylan McCabe - Year 9 START THE SWITCH A three month program called “Start the Switch”, is designed to take students on a journey of discovery, understanding, inspiration and action. Together with mentor Tegan Whitten (AYCC), the sustainability group undertook the project of ‘decommissioning’ and transforming a water trough station near the quadrangle, into a dual purpose sustainable living garden bed and drinking station. Furthermore, Jordan Partington,Year 9, was successful in his application for one of two Sustainable Garden Grants (to the value of $500) which was sponsored by Barwon Water. The grant was utilised to partially fund the “Start the Switch” project. Kelly Jenkins - Sustainability Coordinator Cut the Wrap lunch days encouraged students to bring waste free lunches

Information technology “The boys have overcome numerous challenges and learnt skills in a range of areas, one of the most important skill being time management.” - Mr Michael Davies, Systems Engineering.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY / CAD Students have been able to be highly creative through the opportunities given to them in the various fields of Information Technology. Our CAD department has made extensive use of 3D-printers to create objects developed with Solid Works. Computer hardware, operating systems and networks were extensively investigated in our Bits & Bytes course. Information Technology has ran two Year 11 as well as a Year 12 class, which is a good indicator that this subject has established itself well at our College. Our Department is looking forward to its involvement in the new Year 9 campus next year. George Tomadin - ICT /Systems Coordinator

Production Design & Technology “This new facility has quickly asserted itself as a great asset to the school, providing fantastic new equipment, workshops and theory rooms. The boys were extremely keen and enthused to get into the space and start using the facilities.” - Paul Melis
This year has been extremely busy with the construction & implementation of the schools new Trade Training Centre (TTC). The first sods of soil were turned back in December of last year & work progressed steadily until July this year when students & staff could gain access to the workshops. This new facility has quickly asserted itself as a great asset to the school, providing fantastic new equipment, workshops and theory rooms. The boys were extremely keen and enthused to get into the space and start using the facilities. The new equipment associated with the TTC is a real advantage for the subject area and makes the processing of material for the students quicker and more efficient. This new equipment will be a fantastic teaching and instructional tool, especially for those students doing VET cabinetmaking, as the new equipment exposes these pupils to contemporary & modern equipment. With this said, there is still a lot of “fine tuning” for the Product Design & Technology staff to work through in this transitional phase. A considerable amount of new equipment required for the teaching of new subject units in 2014 has been purchased and will need to be organised and stored. All the redundant equipment that has been replaced in the TTC will be taken to Westcourt and reused at the Year 9 campus. Our hope is to have everything in place for the start of the 2014 school year.
Curtis Dowd - Year 12 Design Technology
2014 is shaping up to be another challenging and stimulating year. It is incredible to work with good people who are striving to create an exceptional eenvironment en nvi v ronment for the pupils.

Kokoda Trip In June this year the College conducted its inaugural trip to trek the Kokoda Track. 27 members of the St Joseph’s College community including 16 students, 2 staff and a mixture of mums, dads, siblings and a grandfather underwent 6 weeks of training in preparation for the trip. The Wednesday morning sessions at 6am and weekend hikes were all worth it once we were confronted with our first hill climb out of Kokoda Village. Despite the steep ascent we were all happy to finally be on our way as mechanical issues with the troop carriers had put us a day behind and had meant that a number of the group had only slept for a couple of hours the night before. The first hill paved the way for many others just like it and it wasn’t long before the terrain began to claim victims with falls and broken walking poles a common occurrence. By the time we reached Kagi Village for our rest day the group was looking forward to some R & R with the locals. This consisted of challenging our Porters to games of touch rugby, soccer, tug of war and volleyball. We were also fortunate to meet with two Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels one at the ripe old age of 110. All members of the group successfully completed the trek and were truly moved by the experience.
At Brigade Hill Meeting Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels at Kagi village
While our walk was physically challenging at times it was put into perspective by the amazing stories of the Australian soldiers’ experience against the Japanese in WWII. We visited many significant sites, saw ammunition dumps and experienced some of the best scenery in the world. While the trek was exhausting, the camaraderie that developed within the group made for an amazing experience that included many laughs along the way. Michael O’Malley’s company Australian Kokoda Tours conducted the trip and arranged all the preparatory training. Michael himself has trekked Kokoda in excess of 20 times and imparted his extensive knowledge of the Kokoda campaign along the way ensuring all of us were able to marvel at the efforts of those who fought there. The elation at reaching our finish line at Owers Corner was quickly tempered with our visit to the Bomana War Cemetery and viewing the thousands of graves of soldiers not much older than our students on the trip, many still marked simply as ‘Unknown Soldier’. All participants on the trip thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will certainly remember it for the rest of their lives. Paul Clohesy - Deputy Principal
Finally after 7 mentally challenging days of walking we reached the arches signifying the end of the gruelling track.We were flooded with feelings of relief and sadness for all the soldiers who never made it out of the notorious track.We all came out a lot wiser and better people for the experience.

After graduating in November 2012, eight Year 12 students from St Joseph’s College and four from Clonard College, accompanied by staff members Ric Brodrick, Monika Ercoli and Patrick McDonald, and his brother Conor, travelled to the township of Mannya in South eastern Uganda. The following are some brief reflections on what was a unique and wonderful experience. Arriving in Mannya was a most amazing and humbling experience. The welcome of the community was so wonderful as they lead us down the road accompanied by the brass band, towards the presbytery balcony with children clinging around us.The kindergarten, primary and secondary students entertained us with music and songs. The whole welcome was so powerful and made us feel that we were truly part of an extended family. Fr Nestus, a man of vision and inspiration, made our stay a memorable one guided by his generosity and hospitality. The people of Mannya are the most generous and sincere people I have met in the world and this experience will remain with me forever Monika Ercoli - Year 11 Coordinator 2012 The ability for us all to witness how the less fortunate live, enabled us to see past the poverty and injustice which has plagued the country in order to recognise Uganda’s beautiful people and rich culture. It was a truly life changing experience which will ultimately make us think twice about how we too live our lives. Fr Nestus and all those associated with the community of Mannya have given me hope that with hard work and faith sustainable development can occur. - Taylor Meesen I left with the goal of making a difference in others’ lives. I returned home with the goal of making changes in mine. This trip has shaken me to the core and changed my view on life. - Connor Rawson Having the opportunity to be a part of such a unique experience is one that I will treasure forever. The smiles and welcoming dispositions of the entire community alone made the trip worthwhile. - Makayla Galbraith The feeling of welcome that Mannya produced was incredible. The people I have met have made a huge impression on me through their work and determination to improve

the livelihood of all in Mannya. The foreversmiling faces will never leave my memory. - Ash McMaster Even though the people of Mannya can’t even imagine how much less they have than us, to see how happy they are regardless, is a perfect example of the fact that real happiness comes from much more powerful forces than material things. Mannya must be one of the most joyous places in Uganda and much of this can be drawn to the hope that Father Nestus inspires in his community. - Lachlan Crowe The generosity and compassion shown by all in the community of Mannya shows the beautiful culture that is Uganda. I will forever benefit from the amazing experience that I just shared with my fellow classmates. - Matthew Potter A beautiful country that has to be seen to be believed, with amazing people who have an overwhelming amount of generosity of spirit. A life-long lesson that will never be forgotten. - Harry Morgan Only after spending time in Mannya have I been able to grasp what it really means to live as a community. The driving force behind the amazing development of the Parish of Mannya, has been borne from a powerful sense of love shared between the people in the community. Fr. Nestus is an extremely inspiring man and being able to share a part of his life, even for a short time, has been an experience that will forever shape the way I think and act towards others. - Conor McDonald An amazing difference in culture. Massive difference between the city and country, rich and poor. - Kelsey Whyte By far the most rewarding experience of my life. - Tayla Ellis An experience of a lifetime. Mannya is working towards something great in the joy and motivation that the people give to their town. - Justin Estcourt In some ways Mannya seems the happiest place on Earth, however it was quite confronting due to the people having so little. It really opened my eyes to how much we take what we have for granted. - Josh Bushby
Edmund Rice Day On Friday 22 March the College celebrated Edmund Rice Day, our College Feast Day. The day began with Mass celebrated by Fr Michael Twigg with the assistance of several student leaders. The ceremony focused on the four touchstones giving ideals authentically linked with the Charism of Blessed Edmund Rice - Justice and Solidarity, Inclusive Community, Gospel Spirituality and Liberating Education. The annual Edmund Rice Day Cross-Country/Walkathon was then held, followed by a celebratory lunch. The afternoon was filled with student activities which created a great deal of interest. These included the traditional Edstock - battle of the bands. Seven bands lined up to compete for the Edstock Trophy. This was a keenly fought contest with every band performing very well. A wide variety of genres was on display; from metal to swing and everything in between. Audience support was evident and all the boys were well supported. The stand out performance of the day was from ‘Rycka’, Riley Harman and Macka Heard.They featured a great balance of both voice and instruments. When not listening to the bands in the ‘Quad’, students were getting involved with the popular sumo challenge, longest slide, battle ball, gladiator challenge along with many other games and activities. It made for a very festive atmosphere. The day came to a finish with Year 7 student Thu Sa La winning the Edmund Rice Day Gift race on Zampatti Oval as well as the annual staff v student Gaelic football match. After many years of defeat, the staff team finally managed to pull off a win - much to the dismay of the students! The day, through donation and sponsorship, raised $45,832.55 for projects in Uganda, Africa and here in Australia with funds going to Edmund Rice Camps for children in need. We thank everyone who raised money through sponsorship or made a donation towards the day.

Project Kiziba “Many greetings to you and the college staff and students. I admire your dedication to see our village change. Our parish community at St. Paul’s parish is very eager to see the hall finished.We hope to finish roofing by Christmas and it will be good if the College team comes to visit us when they come.” - Fr.Vincent

Towards the end of last year, a group of Year 12 students travelled to Uganda to involve themselves with the local community of Mannya.As a consequence of connections with St Bernard’s Belmont Parish and the Cotton On Foundation this annual trip in place of ‘Schoolies’ provides our students with a wonderful immersion opportunity. The development of Mannya has been happening since 2004 and much has been achieved. Kiziba is an adjoining village about 25km East of Mannya and Br Russell Peters, who recently visited the village with Fr Nestus from Mannya, described the place as “in desperate need”. St Joseph’s has received a request via Fr Nestus to provide financial assistance for the construction of a multi-purpose building that can be used as a community meeting place. Some of the possible uses include a centre where hygiene and HIV education can take place and where Mass can be celebrated. It is estimated that the cost of this centre would be $10,000. I think this is a worthy first project for some of the money raised on Edmund Rice Day. The rainwater from the roof will be harvested into an underground tank. Br Russell intends to request that a bore be sunk to provide the villagers with fresh water. This follows consultation with the local people to determine projects which would be of maximum benefit for the region. There is a parish priest in the village and Fr Nestus will work with him to ensure that the project becomes a reality. Hopefully the students taking part in the Uganda Immersion at the end of this year can pay a visit. Paul Tobias - Principal
The following is a composition of letters from Father Vincent who has been keeping the College up to date with the progress of the building works on the Parish Centre in Kiziba. Dear Paul, I am very grateful for your mail. It has given me a lot of encouragement in the work going on here. Many greetings to you and the college staff and students. I admire your dedication to see our village change. Our parish community at St. Paul’s parish is very eager to see the hall finished. We hope to finish roofing by Christmas and it will be good if the College team comes to visit us when they come. I will keep you updated of the progress. Looking forward to seeing you when you come. See how far we have gone. As I write, the roof is now fully installed. At this stage we have used up the funds you generously gave for the hall. We can now use the hall for temporary use instead of the wood shelter you saw when you visited. We have not put the floor, shutters (metal doors and windows) plus plastering inside and outside. Our target is using hall by December. However we can use it temporarily for meetings and prayers. Thank you very much. God bless your tireless efforts, Fr. Vincent
College Houses FOLEY HOUSE 2013 was a monstrous task the Foley Captains had accepted and we had our fair share of ups and downs,. It started with a victory in the Pool, where Foley took first place for a second year running. When the Foley Falcons were called victorious, a feeling of absolute happiness and excitement rushed through my body those emotions will last forever with me. However, this was short lived as Foley needed to find the ‘strength and will’ to win athletics once again, to give Foley a streak of 12 consecutive titles. Unfortunately we came up short. To allow a loss on athletics day after a decade of winning was heartbreaking to see, making it unclear what would happen with the Adam Bryant Shield. This gave Foley a reason to fight back. This year was full of many speeches, costumes and above all else house battles and spirit. It was a great honour to be named Foley House Captain and to have a great Deputy in Matthew Bucki-Smith. To be placed against Butler, Brophy and Jordan was a true privilege and I thank them for competing with such ‘focus and determination’. To the new House Captains make us proud and good luck for 2014. Marcus Anderson - Foley Captain BUTLER HOUSE Well what a year it has been for the mighty butler sharks, we have conquered swimming sports, sprinted the athletics and competed against our foes in other various house activities in which require skill in mental, physical and social aspects. At the swimming carnival it was neck and neck all day between the four houses. After the captains speeches (to which mine was clearly the best) it was down to the finalist swimming for each year level. The score was close and it was anyones game between Butler and Foley. Butler secured 2nd by a few points so Foley better watch themselves next year. We continued our house battle into athletics day. It was a slugfest between Butler, Jordan and Foley. Finally the results were in, the boys were tired since Butler had been leading for the better end of the day. There was a hush among the crowd whilst the results were tallied and presented. Butler for a second time came 2nd leaving Jordan the winners. Butler morale has never been stronger. The effort, strength and determination the sharks put in this year is anything but spectacular, representing in events like House halo, Peter Larkin’s run, House fitness and
House Battleball just to name a few. I would like to thank my deputy Nick P. whom supported me and was a true leader. I never thought of being a house captain, but I am forever grateful, the sharks are nothing short of weak and those whom underestimate them better watch out. Russell Waters - Butler Captain JORDAN HOUSE What a year it was for the Redbacks! Our positive attitude and willingness to get involved and work as a team was evident from the start of the year, following our effort to go back-to-back by taking out the house spirit award at the 2013 swimming carnival. Despite falling short from taking out Jordan’s first ever swimming title, we were motivated to come back even hungrier for the athletics carnival, and that we did.We were triumphant for only the second time in the Adam Bryant Shield history! A comprehensive victory in the athletics carnival was only the start of our glory as we tasted success with a fourth straight Cross-Country victory. Our success wasn’t just on the track as the boys that participated in extracurricular activities did a fantastic job this year. The effort put in to all academic and charity activities was exemplary. A special thanks to Deputy house captain Jake Langenegger who helped me throughout the year with his organisational and leadership skills. Thanks to Brendan Nicholls who helped me develop my leadership qualities. To all the Jordan boys, well done on this year’s efforts and all the best for upcoming years, if you maintain the same house spirit and team morale then the scoreboard will look after itself! Patrick Slack - Jordan Captain BROPHY HOUSE It has been an honour and a privilege to be the Brophy house captain for 2013. The boys tried their hardest all throughout the year but at the end of the day it was never about winning the swimming, athletics, cross country or even the Adam Bryant Shield for that matter. It was all about trying our hardest and supporting one another whilst having fun at the same time.We also succeeded at ending Foley’s winning streak in the athletics. I would just like to thank Mr Nicholls for being the he driver behind this years leadership team for without ut his many ideas and passion for making the school a better and inclusive space we wouldn’t have had such uch a successful and enjoyable year. Good luck to the Brophy boys in 2012, bring home the honey. Fraser Clatworthy - Brophy Captain aptain

Health & Physical Education It has been another highly successful and productive year, punctuated by changes that have enhanced the Health and Physical Education department. The first of these changes was a renewed focus on enhancing the student’s ability to participate successfully in physical activity. Boys were given a comprehensive practical program with everything from team sports like Gaelic Football and Ultimate Disc to individual activities such as Golf and Swimming. Outdoor and Environmental Studies continued to grow with close to 400 boys from years 9-12 participating. There were many chances for students to experience the challenges that outdoor environments can offer. This year saw the purchase of a class set of mountain bikes. Students were able to develop practical bike skills and to further explore local areas such as the You Yangs and The Great Otway National Park. Another exciting development was the introduction of a VET Sport and Recreation program. The course enabled students to focus on the skills needed to work in the sport and recreation industry and to gain a Certificate III qualification. The units covered in the subject allowed the boys to take part in a fantastic range of activities including, surfing, rock climbing, ocean kayaking, mountain biking (Otway National Park) and hiking (Wilson’s Promontory). New practical assessment criterions were introduced which challenged students and teachers to concentrate on three new focus areas. The first, “Acquiring skills” focused on how well the students were able to learn and display fundamental motor skills. “Applying skills” measured the student’s level of participation, use of strategy and ability to produce skills in performance based situations. The final focus was “Listening Viewing and Responding” which concentrated on the student’s ability to listen to instruction and feedback and use this information to improve performance. Information technology continued to be of significance, this year many students were given the chance to use catapult GPS units. The GPS devices tracked the performance of student athletes using the same cutting edge technology currently utilised by their professional sporting heroes.The purchase of a new set of iPads enabled students to use Apps like
‘Coach’s Eye’ which allowed them to easily create and edit video of their technical performances and analyse the biomechanics involved.VCE students where given the chance to visit the “Bio-Lab” for the first time. During this fantastic program students participated in various fitness tests with heart rate, tidal volume, skin temperature, respiratory rate and V02 max being measured and displayed simultaneously with the latest wireless, digital, technology. Thank you to the students and staff who have organised or taken part in the programs mentioned above.Without your hard work, effort and enthusiasm the great achievements of 2013 would not have been possible. Luke O’Grady - Health and Physical Education Coordinator, Nick Jones - Health and Physical Education Coordinator & Mark Rayson - Outdoor and Environmental Studies Coordinator WHAT THE BOYS THOUGHT I have thoroughly enjoyed Physical Education. The teachers were fantastic with helping all the students in perfecting the skills and enjoying all the sports that we played. Some of my favourites included gaelic football, softball and touch football. These were all great fun. The teachers knew about the sports and were able to give us coaching about the skills required to play the games, and also taught us the basic rules necessary to play the games properly. Hugh McMahon - Year 8 In VCE Outdoor and Environmental studies this year we have been to many outdoor environments, viewing the unique environment that Australia possesses. We went on numerous camps, to places such as the Otways for kayaking, surfing and snorkelling and to Mount Hotham to ski and snowboard the slopes. We also went on an excursion to the Otway fly to witness the impact of tourism. We participated in a “See All Dolphin Tours” trip in Port Phillip Bay where we experienced firsthand the environmental risks associated with dredging of the bay. We have gained a greater understanding of Australia’s unique natural environment and why it is vital to preserve this for future generations. Thank you to all the teachers for making this subject and the experiences we had possible. Lachie Ansell - Year 12
“VCE Physical Education has been a fun and enjoyable experience throughout the year. Our excursion to the Biolab in Belmont was very interesting and gave us the opportunity to take part in a variety of different tests including the V02 Max.The tests appealed to many of the boys with measurements such as lung capacity and core temperature being taken.The understanding of Physical Education helps emphasise the importance of being physically and mentally healthy which benefits everyone.” Bailey Biggs Year 10

Year 10 ACC Football Our 2013 campaign began in Ballarat, as we were set to play St Patrick’s in a practice match in preparation for the ACC competition. The game was to a high standard, as we achieved a positive result which gave the group confidence for the season ahead. A standout for the day was Tom Doedee, the former basketball star, new to the game, displayed great talent and endeavour in his first game. A quality week on the track assured that we were ready for our first game against Whitefriars. Unfortunately we suffered a loss, but learnt a valuable lesson on the standard required at this level. The following game we bounced back to have a good win against De La Salle, comfortably winning to the sound of 80 points. A bye awaited us in Round 3 which allowed us a well needed rest. A great win in round 3 to the tune of 118 points against St Bernard’s in front of their home crowd in possibly our best game of the year. Clearance king Paddy Kelleher continued his fine form, gaining plenty of the ball. Sam Bucovaz produced possibly the highlight of the season when he stopped an opposition attack in the backline and then gave an extraordinary effort by running the length of the ground to regain possession and kick a goal. Round 4 saw us come up against Parade at home, needing a win to keep our Grand Final hopes alive, we found ourselves down by a couple of goals in the last quarter. David McNeel produced the spark we needed by kicking four last quarter captain’s goals
which guided us to victory. Our next opponent was St Bede’s. We were very undersized, but a great effort from everyone, especially Jobe Neal who put in an extraordinary effort playing full back on possibly the best forward of the competition and limiting his impact. Alex Hutchison’s four goal, best on ground performance helped us get over the line. Our final game of the season was against Mazenod at home. A comfortable win assured we would head into the Grand Final against Whitefriars full of confidence. Finishing second on the ladder meant we had to travel down the highway and play Whitefriars on their home deck. We started off like a rocket, leading at quarter time in an inspiring performance. A highly competitive game was played out for the rest of the day. We decided to roll the dice in a last pitch effort to get a victory; however it was to no avail, as Whitefriars managed to get over the line in a tight contest. Co-captain Bailey Biggs was the standout for Joeys as he kept us in the game for most of the day. The players and coaches’ efforts weren’t quite enough to get us over the line but we are extremely grateful for the time they put in for us to compete. Many thanks must go to our coaches Jono Holt and Andrew Scaddan, our trainers, Lenny Alford and Mick Hinds for their efforts and guidance throughout the season.

Senior Football There was a lot of excitement about this year’s teams. Both the Year 11 and 12s had won an ACC premiership at Year 10 level bringing together a talented group of footballers that potentially had the ability to taste some success. The first game of the year was an away game, a tough encounter with Whitefriars. Despite trailing at three quarter time, three quick goals put us within a kick with just minutes left.Whitefriars were able to just hang on for a tight 9 point win and send us home knowing that we would have to go undefeated for the rest of the season if we were any hope of making the ACC Grand Final. The next 3 weeks proved to be a big turning point in our season. A gutsy 12 point win away against St Bernard’s was a highlight as it meant we were the inaugural winners of the Reconciliation Cup. Following this we had a tight 14 point win against Parade in our first home game keeping our season alive. A massive home victory over Mazenod (133-16) gave us a good percentage booster. Following this a 10 goal win over De La Salle ensured our percentage gave us the chance to gain a coveted top two finish. Our final home and away match of the season saw us host St Bede’s. Our fate was in our hands as we needed to win or draw the game to get through to the Grand Final. A tough contest for four quarters saw the game go right down to the wire with scores level in the last 10 seconds. Following some tense final moments, the game was drawn and we were through to the ACC Grand Final. Despite numerous injuries and players being unavailable the boys who represented the school showed
incredible courage and determination. The Grand Final was held at Elsternwick Park in Melbourne in very windy conditions.We were really tested against Whitefriars who were playing exceptional team Football. When Whitefriars had the wind they took full advantage of it and piled on goal after goal as they gained belief and confidence that they were going to win. With almost a match winning lead at half-time it was going to have to be something really special for us to run over the top of such a solid outfit, but it wasn’t to be even though we fought it all the way to the end. We lost the game by 66 points and the season was all over, and it would be the last time the year 12s donned the SJC Guernsey. The Best and Fairest award went to the captain Lachie Devine who had a dominant season. Other awards went to Zac Sheahan, Patrick Bright, Nick Swain and Jess Travaglini. I would just like to thank Mr Clohesy and Mr Holt for coaching the team and investing time into getting the best out of every player. Another big thank you to Mick Hinds, Lenny Alford, Greg Vaughn, and Mr Dawson for their efforts and support every week. It was a great year even without the success we expected. We wish every success to the 2014 team and hope they manage to go a few steps further than we did this year. Luke Maddock - Senior Football Leadership Group

St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club Approaching season 2013 it was very much acknowledged, within the club, that there would be a generational change as well a change in direction from a playing and coaching aspect. Therefore any measurement of success was not going be dictated by ladder position. To that end, it was exciting to have Heath Jamieson appointed as our senior football coach for three years. Heath has a track record in developing young players as well solid club cultures. With around 17 players debuting in our senior team this year, many of whom are past students of SJC, it certainly augers well for the future. Along with the exposure to senior football some players received, it was also most gratifying to have our U/18’s team win the 2nd Division Premiership this year. Congratulations must go all those involved.There is no question some very good and long term players will develop out of this team. We also congratulate our C grade Netball team who captured the 2013 title, a wonderful effort by all involved. We wish to thank and recognise our major sponsors, Hodges, Signature Homes and Tri-core Matrix and all our other sponsors whose support has been greatly appreciated. Having said that, it is important that all club supporters look to use these businesses where ever possible. Once again this year I sincerely thank our sponsorship sub-committee consisting of Kel Purser, John Goldsworthy and Brett Bentley for a job well done. On the social side, this year Janine Nicholls took over the organising of most of our functions. I think we should all acknowledge the work she did from the season’s launch through to Anzac day, ladies lunch, the Gala Ball to last week’s Presentation night. To Janine and her team a big thank you, the initiatives for functions has now set a new standard. Back in March our first 2013 gathering was organised and hosted by the incredibly generous Old Collegian Nick Maxwell. The event was held at the Olympic Room at the MCG and was an outstanding success with around 200 attending.The Grand Final
eve Lunch held at The Pier, with over 700 people in attendance was again significant. Special mention goes to Brett Bentley, John McKinnon and Joe Kiss for helping run what must be regional Australia’s biggest Grand Final function. To the rest of the hard working Committee, who continue to put in the many volunteer hours required to run the Club, I extend a big thank you.To survive and prosper these days at this level, we continually have to become more professional. People who want to volunteer and put in the work, is something I am always in awe of, and is the foundation on which clubs like ours are built. Our supporters groups, the Club 32 and the OnBallers, thank you for your most generous support. I especially want to acknowledge the players who have again been exemplary in their attendance and behaviour at club functions this year. The football and medical department put in an enormous amount of effort behind the scenes. Your work is very much valued and appreciated. To all teams who competed this year, congratulations on your efforts and the way you have conducted yourself. I wish to assure everyone that the club is looking to build on very solid foundations and will continue to work tirelessly. The three main areas we will continue focusing on are – • to have the club financially sound • focus on the players and create an environment that makes them proud to be around the club • further create an atmosphere where members, supporters and junior parents feel welcome and know they are an important part of the St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club community. These objectives are on-going and we will seek to continually improve. Go Joeys! Vince Littore - President, St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club

Senior Soccer What is it that defines us? When looking back on a successful season, is there any one thing that stands out above all else? Is it the penalty Hamish Flavell saved in our first match, to give us a 2-1 win? Was it the increased work ethic in the second half of the CBC St Kilda game, where we scored 8 goals in a half? Our position on the ladder was determined by a single goal difference- one less goal in this game would have seen us finish third- and not make the semi finals! Was it the lack of discipline that was displayed against Mazenod that cost us the game, but we learned so much from? Was it the ‘strive for the highest’ motto and ‘never give up’ team attitude that led to the last minute winner from Alessandro De Stefano in our game against De La Salle? Without just one of these, we would not have made the finals. Was it the defensive effort against St Bernard’s in the semifinal, where we did not allow a second half goal, and we won 3-1. It was all of these. But it was so much more. And it was displayed in the Grand Final, where St Joseph’s had its biggest comeback ever, in the biggest game of the year. We were down 4-1 in the first half. Against a team that won all its matches that year, at an average of 5 goals to 1. But they say the darkest hour is right before the dawn. When all looks lost and bleak: to find hope, to keep striving, to keep playing, to keep running, to keep hurting…This is the mark of a team with character. This is a team with heart and self-belief - a team that never says die. So we fell back onto all the things that had got us to the Grand Final – strong persistent work ethic, communication, teamwork, school spirit, attitude & courage. It is legend now how St Joseph’s responded to being behind 4-1. How Angel Taravillo got a hat-trick, including the equaliser in the dying
minutes. How it went into overtime and then penalties. That Alessandro Stefano was carried off with cramp TWICE, and twice he came back on and kept playing. Then Billy came on to only play 20 minutes (due to an injury) but then managed to play out the rest of the game! The defence rallied and would not concede another goal from the 35 minute mark. Hamish Flavell saved two penalties then Alessandro Stefano nailed the last penalty to give us the win. I would like to thank our coaches Mr O’Connell and Mr Trupkovic, also Mr Colak and Mr Milverton for helping throughout the year. Also, to all our other teachers for supporting us and allowing us to represent our school. In years to come, when they look back on the premiership team from 2013, they will look back and see one thing above all else. The one thing that defines us: TEAM – Together Everyone Achieves More!

Cross Country Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, ‘I’ve never seen anyone run like that before.’ It’s more than just a race, it’s a style. It’s doing something better than anyone else. It’s being creative. - Steve Prefontaine, American middle / long distance runner and 1972 Olympian, who once held every national record between 2,000 and 10,000 meters and between 2 miles and 6 miles. This year saw the St Joseph’s College Cross Country team prepare for its inaugural participation in the Division 1 ACC Cross Country Championships. Last year’s fantastic result to win the 2nd division title had given the boys the chance to join the top 6 schools in the ACC and they were determined to prove themselves. Training for the event started in February and the addition of Mr Kemp to the coaching team saw them working harder than ever before. New levels of performance were reached with brutal speed endurance training sessions and hill runs up Aphrasia St but the pain was all worth it as this year’s results are the best the school has ever accomplished and have started a belief that we are capable of even better.
The City to Surf was the first big race of the year and the boys had another fantastic trip to
Sydney in August. The conditions were amazing with light winds and sunny weather adding to the already amazing atmosphere that the iconic race produces. Everyone involved ran the 14km’s in an impressive manner with times improving dramatically from last year (see results below), the majority were able to stay below a 5min kilometre pace which is a great achievement considering the huge crowds and the infamous heart break hill. Jack, Michael, Harry and Alex Catching up with Harry “H” Nightingale from the Bondi Rescue Team at City to Surf
all finished the race under the 60min barrier, an amazing effort. When the race was done we headed to Bondi to enjoy a roof top lunch and a relaxing swim at the beach where we caught up with Harry “H” Nightingale from the Bondi Rescue team. I think of all the things the boys enjoyed, the knowledge that it was overcast and raining in Geelong while they were swimming in board shorts in Sydney was the top of the list! It was an extremely enjoyable trip and many thanks must go to the students for their outstanding efforts in training and their results and behaviour on the trip. Well done.
“New levels of performance were reached with brutal speed endurance training sessions and hill runs up Aphrasia St but the pain was all worth it as this year’s results are the best the school has ever accomplished and have started a belief that we are capable of even better.” - Luke O’Grady
I opened this article with a quote from the famous runner Pre Fontaine; he talks about a race being like a work of art and that a runner’s aim is to show something that they have never seen before. Pre’s sentiment sums up St Joseph’s ACC championships perfectly. The boys

Cross Country produced performances that were amazing to watch and they achieved results that had not been seen by members of the Joey’s Cross Country team before. Harry HockleySamon started the day off with our first great individual result placing third in the under 13’s. Harry crossed the line strongly with a great finish and was only 4 seconds behind the first placed runner. In the next race Christian Davis went two better, storming home to win the under 14’s championship and our first division one win. Christians win was a fantastic result and it was joined by Hugh McMahon who crossed the line 9 seconds later in third place, the 1st and 3rd result caused a huge roar from the SJC tent with everyone thinking it would be impossible to top. In the under 16’s Jack Hockly-Samon and Jake Williamson proved us all wrong. Jack produced a commanding run of which Pre would be proud, finishing 1st in the 5km’s in 16mins, with a large 22 second gap before the next finisher, it was a work of art. Jake Williamson who is also a previous winner at the carnival came third by a very narrow margin of 5 seconds. Jack and Jakes efforts gave SJC another 1st and 3rd result and another huge roar of approval from the Joeys boys who were astounded by the running their team mates were capable off.

Basketball JUNIOR TEAM: Round one of the Victorian College Championships was held at the Werribee Stadium. The Junior section is not divided into divisions so all schools play in the same competition.The SJC Junior team had several preliminary games and the boys won all of these. They reached the semifinals on the day but unfortunately losing that game meant they were eliminated from the tournament. Nevertheless, considering the boys had not played together as a team to lose only one game was a good achievement. INTERMEDIATE TEAM: The SJC Intermediate team entered the VCC tournament in Division 2 as only some of the team were playing representative basketball in 2013. The boys remained undefeated in 2013 and produced the first ever championship winning team at SJC.

In the Division 2 final, held at MSAC, the boys were matched against Bacchus Marsh Grammar, which had an U/16 Australian team representative. However, the boys were not daunted by this, and played their best game of the tournament. Lead by Tom Doedee and Xavier McKeegan, with some excellent shooting from Kyle Meyer, the boys got off to a great start, created a small lead and continued to extend this until the game was out of reach for BMG. The team became the first from our school to become Champions. Xavier McKeegan was named MVP for the final. Congratulations to all team members on a great achievement and an outstanding tournament. SENIOR TEAM: The senior boys also played in Division 2 of the VCC competition. Their preliminary rounds were held at Werribee Stadium. They managed to get enough wins to progress to the State Finals held at MSAC. The boys continued their great form from the first round and reached the semi-finals on the day. Unluckily for our boys, we didn’t shoot well in the game and ultimately lost. However, to reach the semi-finals in such a competition was a great effort. I would like to make special mention of Harrison Dolley and Levi West (Yr.12). They represented the school in every year at SJC and proudly worn the uniform. They always displayed excellent sportsmanship. Finally, I would like to thank Mr Bryson Milverton, Sportsmaster for his continued support and assistance with organising arrangements for our teams.

Tournament of Minds On 25 August 14 students from Year 7 to Year 9 travelled to Deakin University to perform in an event called Tournament of Minds. When we got there, we split into two teams. One group was Maths Engineering and they had to build a machine that had to make a sound at a specific time. The Social Science group required the seven team members to work together to perform a play that would show three secrets about three main characters who were suspects in a court case. We had ten minutes to perform and we made our own costumes from an allowable list of items. It was a great experience being involved in TOM and we are looking forward to competing again in 2014. We would like to thank Mrs Pretty for her dedication to Tournament of Minds. Jack Sadler Cahoon & Lewis Rancic - Year 7 Congratulations to the all of the boys who participated for their enthusiasm and commitment toward Tournament of Minds this year.

Staff Farewells LINDA BENTLEY (1999 - 2013) Linda has been teaching at Christian Brothers’ schools for 22 years and we are indebted to her for all she has brought to St Joseph’s. Her experience across many areas and knowledge has been invaluable. Linda is currently our Year 7 Level Coordinator and has undertaken the roles of Liturgy Coordinator, Religious Education Coordinator, Literacy Coordinator,Year 8 Level Coordinator as well as teaching in the areas of Humanities, English and Religious Education. She has worked tirelessly to ensure our students, especially during their transition to secondary schooling, were cared for in those formative years. Linda leaves us to teach at Clonard College, we extend every good wish for this next stage in her life. BRENDAN NICHOLLS (2008 - 2013) Brendan has held the position of Year 9 and Year 10 Coordinator, teaching in the areas of Science, Environmental Studies, Technology and Religious Education. He has been our Senior Student Leadership Coordinator for 3 years, has looked after our Chess group, helped remodel our Adam Bryant House Shield competition and was instrumental in establishing ‘The Patch’ veggie garden. Brendan has worked closely with students to encourage them in all areas of leadership and involvement. He has been a shining example for both staff and students in Community Service and charities. A talented musician, Brendan could often be heard playing his bagpipes before and after school, creating a great atmosphere. Brendan will be teaching at Saint Ignatius College, Drysdale. We will miss Brendan for many reasons, especially his “can do” attitude and enthusiasm. JANET SGAMBARO (2001 - 2013) Our College Registrar, Janet’s role has increased as our enrolment numbers have crept up dramatically since she arrived, which speaks volumes for her hard work and bright and endearing nature with both families and staff alike. Janet’s meticulous organisational skills have been imperative to her position.Whether organising Open Day,Welcome Evenings, Information Evenings or working on publications and census, Janet’s attention to detail has left nothing to chance ensuring everything goes to plan. Her ability to know the story of each enrolment applicant has been outstanding. We thank Janet for her tireless work in welcoming all of our new families and students and for her dedication working above and beyond the call of duty. Janet’s warmth and genuine care for all that is St Joseph’s will be truly missed. MAUREEN ZAMPATTI (1996 - 2013) Maureen officially commenced as an employee at St Joseph’s College in 1996 when she worked as a Teacher’s Aide, although, being married to Russell Zampatti, meant Maureen was probably working behind the scenes for many years before that! A talented musician, she assisted where ever she could in our Music Faculty, before moving to the department as the Music Assistant. Maureen has shared her talents and drive in many ways, not only playing music, but helping and encouraging hundreds of our students to achieve the best they possibly could in all areas of Music. Her tireless energy and enthusiasm spilled over to all in the department, especially the students. Her ability to reach out to the wider community is amazing, as she seems to know just about everyone and encourages everyone along with her in whatever project she is a part of or initiating. The Zampatti family has been a huge part of our College for many years, an honour for us was to name our main oval the Russell Zampatti Oval. Whilst we are sad to see Maureen leave as a staff member, we know she will always remain an important part of the College. We wish you good health, happiness and love in all that you do in this next stage of your life.
GOOD LUCK AND FAREWELL
To all members of staff who will not be returning in 2014, we extend our sincere thanks for all you have brought to our College and for sharing your expertise across so many areas throughout your time with us. Thank you all for your dedication, passion, commitment and service to the College. It has been much appreciated. We wish you all the best for the future. 126
