Dear Friends It gives me enormous pleasure and pride to contribute this short piece to the Annual Magazine of your great College.

On behalf of the entire Edmund Rice Education Australia community and our forebears, the Christian Brothers, I need to say how proud we are of your College and the wonderful work that you do to keep the vision of Edmund Rice alive in your community.

Your College strives for excellence in the fullest sense of the word. You challenge your students to see the world with our vision akin to that of Jesus. A vision where people matter ahead of things, where special care is shown to those who are struggling and where everyone has the potential to achieve fullness of life.

The students at your College know that they are privileged and with this privilege comes great responsibility. Our children are the future! The future of our world is greatly dependent on their commitment to use the gifts that they receive at your College for the common good, rather than a narrow vision of their own selfinterest. I know how hard the staff of your College work to instil in our young a sense that the freedom that they enjoy in our society must, in the end express itself as a commitment to the making of a better world.

As I travel around our great land, the Christian Brothers I meet regularly tell me that your school and the many others who are part of our Edmund Rice Education Australia family are so faithful to the vision of Edmund Rice. I know this is true through my privileged opportunities to visit your community and be inspired by your students and staff.

May your College thrive into the future and may it always challenge our young people to strive to success in the most complete sense of the word.

With best wishes congratulations

and

many

Dr Wayne Tinsey - Executive Director Edmund Rice Education Australia

Principal’s Report The College enrolment for 2015 was 1630 students. Our VCE results for the year were as follows 10.4% of students achieved an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank in excess of 90 and the joint Duxes of the College were Samuel Fatone and Brad McMaster each with an ATAR score of 97.90.

This year we celebrated 80 years of providing Catholic Education for boys in Geelong. This event coincided with the Centenary of the ANZAC Landing. Our Music Department toured New Zealand and one of the songs performed by the vocal ensemble was “Here you lie side by side”, a song inspired by the words of Mustafa Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Each student and staff member was presented with a medallion which on one side acknowledged Australia in the Great War and on the other the 80th Year of St Joseph’s College Geelong.

One of our students attended the celebrations in Gallipoli as a consequence of being a Spirit of ANZAC prize winner. ANZAC Day, as always, was commemorated at both Westcourt and Edmund Rice Campus. Westcourt Campus was the 2015 State Winner of the National ANZAC Schools’ Award competition.

This award acknowledges initiative and creativity in the ways schools commemorate this occasion.

Other significant events which involved the 80th Year celebrations included a whole school photograph and in November the Opening of the latest College building. The Board of Edmund Rice Education Australia in conjunction with the St Paul Tobias Joseph’s College Geelong Board named the new Centre Opening student services centre, The Paul Tobias Centre.

The main campus at Newtown was renamed the Edmund Rice Campus and a refurbished student exhibition space will be named the Mrs Pat Bourke Gallery. I am deeply honoured and somewhat embarrassed to have the new Centre carry my name. The building was opened by Bishop Vincent Long, the Chair of the Catholic Education Commission of Victoria.

I take this opportunity to thank College Business Manager, Terry Fowler who worked tirelessly to ensure the building project went smoothly and his organisational skills and attention to detail across all areas of the build has been exceptional. I must also mention our Architects, McGlashan Everist and Builders, Lyons for their vision and expertise in producing such an outstanding building for our community.

Throughout the year students had opportunities to travel overseas as a consequence of a number of special programs and immersions. The Band travelled to New Zealand, Westcourt ANZAC Day

some Year 12 students to Uganda in East Africa as part of an outreach immersion, while others walked the Kokoda Track. We were fortunate to once again be part of the Victorian Young Leaders to China Program, with sixteen Year 9 students being selected to be part of the six week language immersion program.

The Student Leaders were a great source of inspiration in the way they conducted themselves across the various sports carnivals and Edmund Rice Day. This year students raised $46,000 for those less fortunate, as part of the Edmund Rice Day celebrations. The day concluded with a narrow victory to the students in the Staff vs Students Gaelic Football game.

I made reference in last year’s report to the efforts being undertaken in the area of sustainability. Due to ongoing efforts by our Sustainability Coordinator, Kelly Jenkins and our staff and student committee members in this area, I’m pleased to report that St Joseph’s College was the winner of the Resource Smart Waste Secondary School of the Year Award. A ceremony was held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and was a highlight for our sustainability representative leaders.

Sport and the Performing and Creative Arts continue to be areas where many students achieved excellence. Our Band was placed second in the South Street Eisteddfod in Ballarat, while many students were involved in the successful musical production “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” put on by Clonard College.

As a consequence of the two Catholic girls’ Colleges working with us, our boys now have the opportunity to be part of a major theatre production every year. Several of our students exhibited works in the Associated Catholic Colleges Art and Technology Exhibition, which this year was held at the Abbotsford Convent. Our surfers were able to score first place in the Victorian Independent Schools State Championships.This year the first St Joseph’s College Short Film Festival was conducted in the Peter Cannon Centre.

The guest judge was Trop Fest Winner, Julian Lucas. The quality of the short films on display was exceptional.

Our First XVIII football team managed to win the Associated Catholic Colleges grand final in a very tightly contested game against Whitefriar’s College Donvale. Our second placing in the Associated Catholic Colleges’ Cross Country competition was another fine result. For the first time our Year 10 cricketers were successful in winning the Associated Catholic Colleges Premiership.

Community Service has continued to be a central feature of our College for staff, students and parents. All students are involved in service programs irrespective of their year level. This is consistent with our core values of Compassion, Innovation and Integrity. It also Victorian Young Leaders to China

Principal’s Report highlights the importance of giving and learning to be selfless rather than selfish. Our hope is that students will continue to be involved in giving to those less fortunate for the remainder of their lives. One such program is our involvement with the Geelong Outreach Van, which helps feed the homeless of our city and has continued to feed an increasing number of people. This is a joint initiative with the Salvation Army and St Joseph’s accepts responsibility for this service each Sunday evening. Staff members and parents form a roster to prepare the food and man the van along with senior students.

Once again I acknowledge the generous support provided by our many associated College groups and committees.

The Old Collegians together with a bequest from a former student has helped make the dream of a sacred space the Westcourt Campus a reality. Building works are well underway. The structure was designed by Old Collegian, Anthony Baldasso and is substantially being built and funded by Old Collegians. The building is well advanced and hopefully will be completed early in 2016.

Our Parents and Friends have enjoyed a most successful year.The Annual Fashion Dinner, which donates all proceeds to causes in East Africa, has become one of the most significant fashion events in the region. This year’s parade attracted 350 guests and raised $23,000.

Our College Foundation celebrated its 20th Anniversary.

I am most grateful to the foresight of my predecessor Principal, Mr Peter Cannon, for having the courage to fund the establishment of our College Foundation. A dinner was held on 13 November to celebrate this important milestone.

The Foundation Upstart Entrepreneurial Challenge was opened to all schools throughout the city this year. St Joseph’s siblings, Luke Dowd (Year 7) and Xavier (Year 9), were the winners for their idea of a bracelet carrying medical information that could be accessed via a phone app.

This year Edmund Rice Education Australia have initiated Charter Leadership Awards. One of these was awarded Nationally across the four touchstones – Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community and Justice & Solidarity. Some thirty two nominations were received from Edmund Rice ministries across the nation.

I am pleased to report that Mrs Leonie Hart, who works in our Educational Support Team, was the National winner for the Gospel Spirituality Touchstone Leadership Award.

Included in Leonie’s nomination was the following “Leonie’s dedication to some of the most marginalized in our community has been and continues to be, a clear example of the work of Jesus Christ as seen in the gospels.” I congratulate Leonie and acknowledge the fine contribution she has

made since her arrival at St Joseph’s in 2008. We are blessed to have an outstanding and dedicated team working in the area of educational support.

The efficient functioning of the College is enhanced by the support of the College Board and its various committees. I thank all our Board Members for giving of their precious time to attend monthly meetings and share their knowledge and expertise. Their loyalty and commitment are to be commended and very much appreciated.

Two long serving Board members will be retiring this year. Mr Peter Woodruff has been a member of our Board for six years, and has been our Deputy Chair for two of these years. We thank Peter for all he has brought to our Board, his gentle demeanour, professionalism in overseeing the implementation of the EREA Constitution/The Design.We thank Peter and Elise for being an important part of our College and for their ongoing support. Libby Mears is leaving also, having commenced on our Board in 2010. We have valued Libby’s contribution and her expertise, having worked on a number of committees throughout the Geelong community. Again we thank Libby and Clarke for their hard work and friendship.

I congratulate Mrs Maureen Bryant for her support of our College Board over the past twenty two years. It is most fitting that the Board has determined that the Boardroom in the Paul Tobias Centre will be named the Maureen Bryant Boardroom.

I acknowledge the outstanding contributions of the Finance & Planning Committee, Foundation The Committee, the Mens’ Association, the Parents & Outreach Friends Association, the Old Collegians Association, Van Josephine’s Group, Care Group, Canteen Volunteers and all parents and families who have been involved in any way at St Joseph’s College in 2015.

I am grateful for all the work undertaken throughout 2015 by the College Management Team made up of Deputy Principals, Michelle Brodrick and Paul Clohesy; Director of Identity, Jo Hart; Director of Curriculum, Michael Goss; Business Manager, Terry Fowler and Human Resources Manager, Rolf Audrins. The work ethic, loyalty and support of the Management Team has been outstanding.

Two members of this team will be moving on at the conclusion of Upstart the 2015 year. Ms Jo Hart will be Challenge taking on a role with the Identity Winners Directorate of EREA (Edmund Rice Education Australia) and her expertise will be shared with all Edmund Rice schools throughout the nation. Jo has been an outstanding Identity Director here at St Joseph’s and I wish her well in her new role.

Mr Paul Clohesy has accepted

Principal’s Report a Principal’s position in Northern NSW and in January will commence at Mount St Patrick Catholic Secondary College in Murwillimbah. Paul has been an exceptional role model and leader at St Joseph’s since his arrival in 2009. I publicly acknowledge his wonderful and loyal support and I am confident Paul has all the right qualities to be an exceptional Principal. It has been a priviledge to have worked with him.

Our Head of Campus at Westcourt, Mr Michael Timms will also be accepting a new challenge. Michael has been appointed as the new Deputy Principal at St Ignatius College, Drysdale. Michael has done a fine job in establishing leadership at our Year 9 campus since 2014 and his promotion is well deserved. As experienced and talented staff members leave us, new opportunities open up and the process of forming and training staff is an important feature of our College.

We have an excellent tradition of providing pathways for all staff to progress and accept new challenges.

I conclude this year’s report with my farewell address to the Year 12 students at the conclusion of their Graduation Mass and I give thanks to all staff, teaching and non-teaching, for their tremendous contribution and support in what has been another excellent year for our College.

Paul Tobias- Principal “Dear Parents and Students, In tonight’s Gospel story on the road to Emmaus those walking the road lack awareness. They don’t realise who is walking with them even though he is the talk of the town. The stranger isn’t recognised. The same crowds during his active ministry followed him around, knew there was something special about him, would listen to what he had to say but lacked the capacity to really understand.What they lack is insight. I would say to the parents tonight that you are people of insight because you recognised the importance of Catholic Education – an education which has its basis in the values of the EREA Charter Christian Gospel.

If I ask parents, what do you want from your son, Leadership Award winner - some may speak about sporting or academic success but usually the answer is, I just want them to be Leonie Hart happy. The question is how do we become happy?

Therein parents lies your insight.

The message of the gospel is that if we are to be followers of Christ, happiness lies in us being selfless rather than selfish.

Our most basic human need is to love and be loved in return. It is difficult to love those who are selfish and totally self-centred. As parents, I thank you tonight for the privilege of educating your sons and congratulate you on your insight in working with the College to promote Christian Senior Arts & values.

this year. She was a lifelong member of the Salvation Army and was the 1993 Australian of the Year. In accepting her award she said this about happiness. “You don’t become happy by pursuing happiness. You become happy by living a life that means something. I suspect the happiest people you know are the ones who are hard- working and reliable, thoughtful and kind and while they are busy doing those things, happiness sneaks up on them unawares.”

To the boys – you arrived here six years ago from your respective primary schools. The three positioning statements we have put before you over those years are Compassion Innovation and Integrity. I hope after your time here, that you have come to some understanding about those things. If I was to make one final religious comment to you, it would be that the kingdom of God is all around us – not somewhere in the sky – which is why the quality of compassion is so important. If we understand what it is like for ‘the other’ we are more likely to do something to try and help them and in doing that, we experience happiness.

We chose those three positioning words because we were convinced that they lead to happy, healthy and well-balanced lives.Writer Nikki Gemmell maintains – “we practice kindness or compassion for self-preservation. It helps us live stronger, more optimistic, serene and loving lives. Kindness is the most effective circuit breaker and even if it is not reciprocated or appreciated, or even noticed, it’s a gift for the giver.”

Australian social commentator Hugh Mackay in his latest book entitled “The Good Life” suggests that the critical test of a life well lived, is the quality of our responses to the needs of others.

As part of the journey you already have some valuable life experience. If I were to ask you, who in your life do you remember most fondly?- the answer will often be – those who showed us kindness and consideration.

We all have the individual capacity to be heart lifters or heart sinkers depending on our daily interaction with others. The one thing I want to put before you tonight is the absolute importance of random acts of kindness. Australian poet Adam Lindsay Gordon put it this way – “life is mostly froth and bubble. Two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble. Courage in your own.”

Finally boys I would like to finish by reminding you who you are.You are St Joseph’s boys and you have been educated at a College which has respected you.You have come from families that have loved you unconditionally. As you move onto the next stage of your life, travel the journey with confidence in the spirit of Jesus Christ and Edmund Rice. Practise random acts of kindness often and help build the kingdom of God. You are all capable of being remarkable people, capable of making an extraordinary difference in the life of others around you and because you are so young, your full potential has not yet been realized. As you move tonight beyond this place, may Almighty God bless each one of you all the days of your lives.”

College Board Report It again gives me great pleasure to present the College Board report on behalf of my fellow board members in this 80th Anniversary year of St Joseph’s College.

Some of the notable achievements of their collective efforts include: • College Open Day – March; • Parents and Friends Trivia Night – March; • Edmund Rice Day – March; • SJC Old Collegian’s Golf Day – March; • Commencement of the West Court Campus Chapel – March; • P&F Artisan Markets- July; • College Board Seminar – August; • Upstart Entrepreneurial Challenge – June to September; • Parents and Friends Fashion Show – September; • Stage one completion of the Student Service Building – November; • St Joseph’s College Foundation 20th Anniversary Dinner – November; • Combined Colleges’ Board/Council Gathering – November.

Edmund Rice Education over many years. I am thrilled to say that our recommendation received unanimous backing from Edmund Rice Education Australia. Paul’s contribution is testament to his significant commitment and selfless dedication; and naming the building in his honour is a wonderful acknowledgement of all he has done for catholic education and more specifically, for the students of St Joseph’s for more than 20 years, as the longest serving Principal in the College’s history.

I would like to acknowledge Deputy Principal and College Board member Paul Clohesy who leaves St Joseph’s at the end of this year to take up the position of Principal at Mount St Patrick College, Murwillumbah, NSW. I would like to thank Paul for his significant professional and personal contribution made to the board and the wider College community over many years and we wish him every success in his new role as Principal. Finally, I would also like to acknowledge board members Dr. Peter Woodruff (Deputy Chair) and Ms. Libby Mears who leave the board at the end of this year. On behalf of all board members, we sincerely thank them for their respective contributions, fellowship and generosity as valued members of our college community. We wish both Peter and Libby well in their future endeavours.

Wishing everyone a prosperous and fulfilling 2016.

Brett Harman - Chairperson

In late 2014, the College Board proposed naming the new Student Service’s Building in honour of Principal Paul Tobias. The proposal, to be known as the Paul Tobias Centre, is in recognition of the enormous contribution Paul has made to the St Joseph’s College community and

College Captain’s Report The year of 2015 was a fulfilling one for many within the College Community, and is one that I will remember fondly. A new chapter had begun for the incoming year 7s. The new batch of students, filled with nervous anticipation, ventured out to D-Block to embark on their educational journey, appearing to have completed a smooth transition into our SJC community.

2015 also marked the final year for the Year 12s. Many great moments were shared throughout the journey, culminating in our final year together. From the numerous camps, sporting days or the Year 12 Winter Formal that raised over $5000 for Headspace, our time spent here at Joeys has been one riddled with enjoyment.

The last 6 years that I’ve spent with my mates are memories that I will cherish years after I finish my formal secondary education. St Joseph’s College holds great significance to me, and has allowed me to mature and grow into manhood. This college community represents more than the education it bestows upon its students, championing an experience that is underlined by hard work, compassion and mateship. To the boys of the graduating 2015 class: you will always be synonymous with St Joesph’s College. No matter what score you achieve or what you do in your lifetime, appreciate the school you have come from and the people who supported you along the way. You are, and forever will be, ‘Joey’s boys’.

On the leadership front, our 44 member team has worked tirelessly across the year and has shown great enthusiasm to improve the schooling experience for their peers. There have been countless meetings and discussions regarding leadership agendas. The path of a leader is never without adversity, but I can confidently say that the 2015 team has made an outstanding effort to follow through on their actions and maintain an optimistic demeanour. Many thanks have to go

6

to the work of leadership co-ordinators, Ms Baker and Mr Lynch.Without their eagerness and passion to create better leaders, our output would have been significantly less.With these two at helm, I’m sure that the leadership team for next year and beyond will boast compelling results, and provide an enriching experience for those privileged enough to make the team. Special thanks must also go to the tremendous efforts of the School Deputy Captains, Jackson Gravett and Tom Doedee. Their constant support and work ethic has allowed me, and others in their care, to fulfil their leadership capabilities.

Both are fantastic role-models for students, and have a bright future ahead of them no matter which path they take.

I would also like to extend my thanks to our Year 12 coordinator Mr Andrew Scaddan for his constant support of our year level. His charismatic persona has allowed us all to better cope with the pressures of VCE. We are grateful to have him at the wheel, but more importantly, as a mate.

It’s been an honour to serve as the College Captain in 2015. Thank you to all within the College Community who made the year run smoothly, and allowed me to appreciate the greatness of St Joseph’s College. To those who will be here for years to come, I would like to remind you that we are privileged to attend this school, so make sure you grasp every chance to make it a satisfying and rewarding journey.

David McNeel - 2015 College Captain

Building Works It was an exciting year for the construction of new facilities with the official opening of the Staff and Student Services Building in November. The building was named in honour of Mr Paul Tobias, College Principal, in recognition of his valuable contributions to education and the St Joseph’s College community over many years.

The Paul Tobias Centre enabled the centralisation of a number of student services functions including, careers office, student counselling, education support, timetabling and vocational education. The Centre also houses a new staffroom, board room, general meeting rooms and daily organiser office. There is also an expanded area for the maintenance workshop. The cost of the building was approximately $5.0M and was funded from a combination of building fund donations, cash reserves and new debt.

The Paul Tobias Centre has substantially changed the face of the College on the Aphrasia Street frontage and is a wonderful addition to the Edmund Rice campus. The project was completed on time and to budget by Lyons Constructions.

The Paul Tobias Centre represented stage 1 of a two stage program. Stage 2 which commenced in November involves the refurbishment of the former staffroom into administration offices and a reworking of the current reception area to include an archival and student work display area. The total cost of these works is expected to be some $1.5M. These works also to be undertaken

by Lyons Constructions are due for completion in May 2016.

Since the opening of Westcourt campus the College has relied on the generosity of Clonard College in providing a space to operate a canteen. That has now changed with the construction of a canteen in the existing spaces of the Westcourt campus. The establishment of the canteen means the College is now fully self-sufficient as far as facilities and amenities are concerned.

Minor works undertaken during the year included the upgrade of the cricket practise wickets on Carey oval, installation of evaporative cooling in classrooms at Westcourt campus and installation of an improved security alert system at Edmund Rice campus.

The College also took the opportunity to acquire a residential property in Douglass Street Herne Hill.This property is surrounded by the Westcourt campus and was many years ago the caretakers residence for the previous Western Heights Secondary College.

The acquisition of this property will enable the expansion of College facilities as the need arises.

From the Archives: 80 Years Maurice Albert McCartin (1924-2010) was a foundation pupil at St Joseph’s College, Geelong in 1935. He was a student at the College over the next 5 years until 1939 when he completed his secondary education and his family moved to Melbourne.

Maurice McCartin was very proud of his connection with and attendance at St Joseph’s College and frequently told many amusing stories of his childhood and school days in Geelong.

He attended St Mary’s Primary School for his early childhood education before St Joseph’s College opened for day students in 1935. He commenced his years at St Joseph’s College in the Fourth Standard with his friend Kevin Lynch.

One of Maurice’s most amusing stories, repeated often, was about a special event listed in the novelty races at the annual St Joseph’s sport’s carnival. Not being blessed with athletic abilities, his great claim to fame was winning the ‘Slow Bicycle’ race at the Sports Carnival. Brother Brophy was the ‘Starter’ on the day and the idea for the participants was not to start in the race quickly, or indeed at all, in order to win the ‘race’. Maurice managed to balance on his bike seat and not commence pedalling for what seemed like an endless period. Other boys were encouraged to move by the Brother who was no doubt becoming Female Staff impatient at the reluctance of the riders to move.

Group - 1950s Somehow Maurice’s irrepressible nature won the ‘Slow Bike’ race by defying the Starter and not moving hence being the slowest rider in the event!

- Information provided by Maurice McCartin’s Daughter, Ann Hickey Reflecting on the last 21 years of my life since my arrival at St Joseph’s in 1995, there is so much of that time which is memorable. The school has changed dramatically over that time but good schools are more about culture and people

rather than the buildings.

Two outstanding people who I have admired greatly because of their generosity, work ethic and care of others would be Russell Zampatti, and my personal assistant for the past 16 years Mrs Maureen Bryant.

Both are outstanding example of compassion, innovation and integrity, the qualities which identify our College as special and different. People of that calibre lead those around them and for me that is why the College has been so successful over the past two decades.

Paul Tobias, Principal 2000 - Present Secondary school is a turbulent time in any person’s life. It is filled with growth, development and challenges that help shape the people we will become. For the boys of St Joseph’s College, this is no different. Bullying, peer pressure, academic stress and inner struggles are something that students face every day. It is through the friendships we forge and the experiences we share that we can find refuge in such tumultuous times in our lives.

Daniel Belluzzo - SJC Class of 2009 There’s a unique togetherness that comes from spending five or so years with the same collective group of people.

High school can be tricky at the best of times but knowing that you’re surrounded by your mates who are all in the same boat turned potentially awkward teenage years into some of my fondest memories. I got married earlier this year, ten years after graduating. All four of my groomsmen are mates from SJC who I still see regularly.

Lifelong friends may sound cliché, but that’s what these guys are and will continue to be.

A Reflection on SJC From my time at St Joseph’s my most memorable experience was being a part of the college’s production All Shook Up when I was in year 11. I loved the collaboration with all the people involved as well all the friends I made. I will never forget the opening night, the sound of the crowds and the satisfaction of working with other creative students.

- Patrick West SJC Class of 2015 Memories of Roger Kenna enrolled at St Joseph’s as a boarder at the age of 7.

Kitty O’Shea: she was our Elocution teacher and produced - directed the annual school play. I can recall being selected to play a part in the production of “Pied Piper of Hamlin Town.”

Steve Hart: he was our gymnastic instructor –the school had a gym area made up of parallel and horizontal bars, Roman Rings, springboard, horse and matting. Because I was of bantam – featherweight build I was selected to regularly demonstrate my skills. I received a Certificate for my efforts.

Brother Rahill: he was responsible for handing to us our weekly pocket money, usually three pence – sixpence. We would queue up of Saturday morning outside one of the ground floor class rooms and be given our pocket money.

Every Saturday morning we would clean the chapel – this involved washing the floor and polishing the brass.

On Saturday evenings we usually attended a film night in the hall. The projector was manually operated and watching the film was a very slow process – sort of a slide night – no colour. The script usually involved Charlie Chaplin, Abbot and Costello.

Eucharistic Congress: This was annual event and involved the construction of outdoor Altar. Girls from St. Mary’s would visit for choir practice – apart from my family this was my first contact with girls and was exciting.

Afternoon Tea: At around 3.30pm following classroom work boarders would queue and receive a “Rock Bun”. I remember this was made –up of bread dough and fruit peel and currents -raisins. To this day I have had a dislike for marmalade jam.

- Roger Kenna SJC 1952 I think I could say that most of my time at SJC was memorable. Lifelong friendships made (I still have contact with many after 60 years). Life as a boarder was an experience, we had mostly country boys,

plus a few that had exited schools in Melbourne (for an assortment of reasons!). Colombo Plan students from a variety of Commonwealth countries all helped to make for an interesting group!

Commitment to the Cadet Group was an integral part of school life, weekly parades, rifle range for shooting practice, annual camp (Puckapunyal or Mildura), day students found the food a bit of a challenge but boarders were a little less selective with the range of culinary offerings!

There was always plenty to keep students busy after school hours, Sport, Football of course,Tennis, Cricket, Swimming and Athletics, and who could forget the cross country runs around Queens Park and the final punishing sprint up the hill from the River to Butler House.

End of term boarders ‘banquets’ were always eagerly awaited (great work by Matron Kitty Curtin and her team) as was the occasional YCS social with SHC! All in all great days to recall and certainly a time to reflect on the outstanding efforts and dedication shown by the Brothers of the time, something that we can appreciate more with the passing years...We all owe them so much!

- Terry Phillips SJC 1959 The most memorable aspect I have from St. Joseph’s was the whole of Year 12. It was such a busy and exciting year with plenty going on, but I felt like the year-level really bonded well and became great mates. Despite putting in the hard yards with school work, it was my most enjoyable year at SJC, and one that definitely prepared me for the next stage of my life.

- Tom Cooper SJC 2010 In Feb 1950, as a very young boy and schooled in the bush by Nuns, I arrived at St Joseph’s College. I thought that it was a huge school, large buildings, so many students (about 300 - 1,630 now), steeped in tradition (when it was only 15 years old). 65 years Br Rahill - 1950s on, 11 of my immediate family have either studied or taught at the College and now nearly all of my close male friends are St Joseph’s old boys. St Joseph’s has Gymnastics - 1940s truly played a major part in my life!!

Foundation Report It’s fantastic to be associated with a College as progressive and popular as St Joseph’s. However, you may be a little puzzled about what The St Joseph’s College Foundation is, and what does it do?

Well, you might have noticed our emblem on the side of the “Music Trailer” which we donated to the College.

We are a “behind-the-scenes” organisation which:“Provide ongoing and financial support to the College, to ensure its aspirations can deliver the best education for Catholic Boys in Geelong”.

Our management committee team is comprised of: Chris Holien - Vice Chair Paul Treloar - Treasurer Dr. Joe Virgona Kevin Costa Steve Cooper Kristen Gleeson Tracey Simic Heather Kelly Maureen Zampatti

On a less cheerful note, we extend our best wishes to our team mate and College’s Business Development Manager who is recuperating after a serious virus [Transverse Myelitis] in September. To Kristen and his wife Lauren, all the best from the whole St Joseph’s community.

The Foundation celebrated its 20th Anniversary this year; a milestone our community can be very proud of.

Thanks to staff members Lauren Salcombe, Natasha Solczaniuk, Adel Mawson, and Susan Belluzzo for your help behind the scenes.

Parents of present and/or past students, who work very hard to achieve our goals.

Our Foundation raises funds and invest for the very long term interests of the College.We do this through our Annual College Raffle, and through our Bequest/Legacy Program.

Upstart winners

You may well have seen media releases throughout Geelong, on the “Upstart Entrepreneurial Challenge”.

This is a Foundation innovation, which has grown so quickly now, involving all secondary schools in the region.We are still proud patrons of the competition and congratulate our students….. upon their outstanding success this year.

From time to time our Principal will ask us to take responsibility for Capital Fundraising Programs for our College. In the past we have supported the Chapel restoration, the magnificent Peter Cannon Performing Arts complex, and the overhaul of the Br O S Adams Gymnasium.

Josephines The Josephine’s have had another successful year of friend raising and fund raising for the St Joseph’s College Educational Support Program. Our Josephine’s dinner was held in March at Fisherman’s Pier with 90 attending.

The space was a little bit squeezy, but the room was buzzing! All ladies were warmly greeted on arrival with a glass of bubbly and were welcomed by Kristen Gleeson, Development Office Manager and Paul Tobias, who introduced Michelle Brodrick, our new Deputy Principal, Years 7-9. Paul gave an overview of new buildings underway, in particular the Chapel at Westcourt Campus and the new Student and Staff Services area being built at the Edmund Rice campus.

Staff member Nerrida Holland spoke on behalf of Mark Turner, the Educational Support Coordinator. Nerrida thanked all present for attending and being an important part of our Educational Support Program through the funds raised. She then introduced Simon McDonald Kerr who was our guest speaker for the evening.

Simon spoke really well and all present were engaged in his humourous and realistic explanation of how he came to work with the visually impaired and his work with one of our College students who is 100% vision impaired.

He talked about the initial challenges faced coming to St Joseph’s in Year 7 and how he was successfully transitioning with the help of his aide. His determination and independence in all manner of situations has enabled him to cope well. Simon also gave us practical advice on how to assist visually impaired people with subtle moves and most importantly asking if they would like our help first. Paul Tobias volunteered to role play with a mask over his eyes. Simon spoke glowingly of our College and in particular our Educational Support Program.

Following our yummy dessert, Kate Parke and Maureen Bryant roved the room with the microphone, searching for news and stories to share. New babies, trips abroad, bicycle rides, cricket finals for St Joseph’s, weddings and concerns about those unwell in our community were just a few of the topics discussed. The space was full of chatter. Maureen and Kate thanked Fisherman’s Pier, owner and staff for their friendly service and the amazing ambience overlooking the bay in Geelong.

Our next Josephine’s function was held on Thursday 5 November, Oaks Day at the Telegraph Hotel. Due to unforeseen circumstances we needed to change our venue at the last minute. We were greeted with a glass of wine on arrival and the ladies were dressed to suit the

occasion. There were some hats and fascinators which helped make this day fun. Maureen Bryant was unwell, so Kate Parke welcomed everyone, including some past staff members and a number of current Teacher Aides.

Kate introduced Mark Turner who thanked our Josephine’s for supporting the College Educational Support Program. Mark gave an overview of the new Student Services Building and spoke of how excited he and the Student Support Officers are about this beautiful space. They are really looking forward to next year and settling into their warm and colourful surroundings. Michelle Brodrick made special mention of Kristen Gleeson, as unfortunately Kristen has been unwell and in hospital over the past few months; we are encouraged by his gradual progress and positive attitude. She also thanked Adel Mawson who stepped in to help cover for Kristen during his absence and has been in constant contact to help keep the Development Office running smoothly with help from Natasha Solczaniuk and Lauren Salcombe. Once again Kate gathered news from around the room. Whilst this was a ‘no fuss’ day, the ladies looked splendid in their frocks and hats and enjoyed their day together.

Once again we thank Natasha and Kristen for their great work in organising these events and Lauren for her creative genius in designing our invitations and promotional material. The Josephine’s provides a great opportunity for past and current mothers and staff members, other family members and friends of the College to come together in a friendly atmosphere, enjoy a meal and stay connected to our great College. So thank you for taking the time to attend our gatherings and for your ongoing support. St Joseph’s is like one big family and we are all a part of this amazing journey.

Thank you all.

We take this time to reflect on those who have been unwell or have died throughout 2015 and we ask God’s blessings on each and every one of you, those you love and who are in your care. Thank you for being a part of our Josephine’s in 2015.

Parents & Friends The St Joseph’s Parents & Friends have enjoyed another event filled year, enabling us to support the school to provide further facilities for our boys. Our regular events have provided valuable funds which have gone towards, updating the cricket facilities on Carey Oval, new BBQs for the school, money for the school’s Bursary programme and a first aid course for Year 12 students. We have maintained our commitment to those in need in Mannya, Uganda, with all funds raised from the annual Fashion Show, going to vital projects in the area. We have raised over $41,000 this year, which is a testament to the hard work of the committee and school community.

Our active group also provides parents with the chance to feel connected to and a part of our wonderful school community.

We would like to thank those who have provided valuable input and assistance at our various functions throughout the year, without which these events wouldn’t be able to run and continue to flourish. Particular gratitude must go to the sub-committees who diligently organised & ran each event.

along and supported our events throughout the year.

A big thank you to Kristen Gleeson, Lauren Salcombe, Natasha Solczaniuk and Adel Mawson for the ongoing support of the development office. Your vital assistance and leadership ensures we can contribute to the school in such an effective way.

Many thanks also to the school’s leaders for their continued support of our endeavours and to the school’s maintenance division for providing their help & expertise.

We look forward to an exciting 2016 and would welcome anyone who’d be interested in being involved in the P&F in any way, big or small.

Old Collegians’ Association 2015 was a landmark year for the Old Collegians’ Association. The Old Collegians Association has contributed nearly $300,000 in 2015 to special projects that will create many opportunities for those who attend the school.

At the AGM of 2015 the following committee was elected: Justin O’Brien - President Andrew Conte – Senior Vice President Sam Hopgood – Junior Vice President Sam O’Dwyer – Treasurer Nick Jahnecke – Administrative Officer General Committee Members - JoeVirgona, Dean Bushell, Roger Hardwick, David McCusker, Greg Thompson, Nick Cooper, Tony Honner and Robert Hennessey.

On Sunday 19 April the Annual St Joseph’s College Old Collegians’ Golf Day was held at 13th Beach Golf Links Barwon Heads. Just under 200 players took to the beautifully maintained Links course, in an Ambrose-style team competition. With pouring rain overnight and hail on its way, everyone rugged up and still managed to get out on course, which was still in great condition given the weather we had.

We were extremely lucky and the rain stayed away from 7am through until the end of the round, although the wind got the better of most of the Callaway Supersoft Golf Balls that were in the showbags.

In what were extremely tough conditions, some teams still burnt up the course, while many others made extremely hard work of the day. Most of all an enjoyable day was had by all who took part.

Overall winners on the day were the team from Eagle Sponsor, Hogan’s Axle Corrections. With an amazing 13 under of the stick, 59 comprising of Alan Hogan, Josh Dempsey, A Bennett, Cam Mermone, and Paul Cumper.

The Annual Golf Day is a major fundraiser for our Old Collegians association with all money raised generously going towards the St Joseph’s College Bursary Fund.

Many thanks to all of the players and sponsors of the Golf Day who helped raise over $13,000 on the day.

The night is always filled with great memories and laughs from times past. The night started with a tour of the College and many past students commented on the development of the school facilities.

The Melbourne Reunion was held in October at the Emerald Hotel, South Melbourne. Over 30 past students attended and made a great night of it. Many thanks to Jane Lewis and all the staff at the Emerald Hotel.

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.

The committee has done a wonderful job in raising funds and investing wisely over a number of years. This year we have contributed $250,000 to the Westcourt Campus Chapel Project. The building of the Chapel is well Golf Day under way and is planned to be opened in 2016.This is a project the Old Collegians can be proud to be associated with.

As in past years we have also donated $20,000 to school bursaries which assist families in need with the opportunity to send their boy to St Joseph’s College.

We have also contributed $12,000 to a project that will recognise the high achievers each year.

The Dux of the College wall has been completed in the Year 12 (A Block). Feedback from the students and teachers has been very positive.

Thank you to all committee members for their dedicated commitment to the Association and to St Joseph’s.

Mens Association & Care Group 2015 has sped past with a lot of activity at the College. The new building works brought some variety to the meeting places and procedures for the fathers, as we had relocated the maintenance office for the duration of the construction of The Paul Tobias Centre, which will include the new maintenance workshop that will double up as the new headquarters for the Men’s Association on weekends. Everybody has been interested in the development of the new buildings at both campuses and I have regularly received constructive comments from the dads that have cast a critical eye over proceedings Attendance has been good this year averaging eight willing dads per working bee and we have had two Sundays this year with sixteen fathers attending, which allows me great scope to achieve many tasks around the grounds. I should clarify that some of men that attend these popular Sunday working bees are in fact GRANDDADS. I would like to acknowledge the following members who have been regular stalwarts of the Men’s Association and have as the saying goes “put the runs on the board”, Paul Slattery, Danny Sheedy, Des Nolan, John Villanti, Geoff Houghton, Rohan Crowe, Tony D’ Andrea, Noel Jaques and Carl Bentley, who continue to attend long after their sons have left the college.

Working bees consist of two hours of hard toil to beautify and maintain the college, we then enjoy a BBQ cooked by Team Captains and refreshments. The Men’s Association members have changed since its inception in 1960 but we still perform very similar tasks that our predecessors commenced, painting, mowing, cleaning, setups and packups for functions and exams. I would like to thank all active members of the association and especially Team captain’s The new workshop Des Nolan, Rohan Crowe, Danny Sheedy and David Cogan for all their hard work and guidance throughout the year.

CARE GROUP Our Care Group was formed to assist families during times of crisis (eg. illness, bereavement or special circumstances). Each year this group has done wonderful work supporting those in our community when they are most in need. The last thing parents need to worry about is food, when they are under stress and strain caring for family members who are seriously ill or struggling to cope with extremely difficult circumstances. This year has been a very sad year for our College with a number of parents and staff illness and bereavements. We have been able to assist approximately 15 families throughout the year, with 50 - 60 meals supplied. The families we have helped are most appreciative of the support the College can offer through this group. A number of these families have received ongoing support 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 generously prepared and provided many meals for others throughout 2015. Our VCAL students have also prepared meals and batches of snacks for our families which have been a tremendous boost to our supplies. We also thank our VCAL students and staff for their great work. Without all of these meals and all of your hard work, we would not be able to offer this support to our families, so to ALL involved in preparing meals THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. We take this opportunity to wish all our families good health, love and happiness for the Christmas and New Year season and look forward to your ongoing support again in 2016.

Year 7 The 2015 Year 7 Cohort have embraced the challenges associated with adjusting to secondary school. While many cannot believe how quickly their first year of secondary school has gone, it is the huge variety of activities and functions that contribute to life at St Joseph’s College that makes it feel like time has flown.

The year 7 student leaders have reflected on some of the opportunities that have contributed to their successful transition from primary school to secondary school.

Simon Piasente – Year 7 Coordinator CYBER CATS At the start of Term 3 the Year 7 class captains attended the Cyber Cats Centre at Simonds Stadium to learn about cyber bullying. Cyber Cats put on some great activities to show you what it feels like and looks like to be cyber bullied. We also had a guest speaker and the opportunity to make short movies with Geelong Cats back man Jake Kolodjashnij. These movies showed different ways that people can become a victim of cyber bullying and how to stop it or how to get assistance.

We also learned from policeman Robbie Noggler about different dangers of online communication. On returning to school we had the opportunity to share what we had learnt with the rest of the year level.

- Tanner Bruhn and Frederick Dripps SILVER COIN TRAIL The Silver Coin Trail challenge was to collect as many silver coins as possible to create a trail. The money was for Caritas’ Project Compassion. The theme this year was food of life; to end hunger and to give the poorest people the nutrition they deserve. The Year 7s did a fantastic job in making this dream closer to becoming a reality; altogether they raised a total sum of $1291.

This is a massive achievement because the boys only had three weeks to round up the money. Once all the money was collected, each Homeroom placed their coins into a line to see how long their trail would be.The longest line was the homeroom 7F. Their line was a whopping 41.9m.

All donators should be proud, knowing that they’re giving people the food they need to live a healthy and happy life.

- Cormac Lynch

BEACH BONANZA At the start of the year, all of the year sevens were new and didn’t know many people in our homerooms. So St Joseph’s worked as hard as they could to change that. One of the many opportunities we had to get to know each other was the Beach Bonanza Day. During the second and third week of T1, 2 or 3 homerooms travelled to Bancoora Beach or Cosy Corner in Torquay, mixing in different beach and water activities. Some of the beach activities included Soccer, Football, Frisbee and beach walks. The main highlight of the beach activities was most definitely the sand castle competition.There were some very inventive creations, from sand-made unicorns with sea weed manes to full out forts built with planning and strategy, every creation was a tough competitor. Then all of the homerooms at the beach came together for lunch and sunscreen. After that, the homerooms swapped activities, and started surfing or building sand castles once again. The surfing was very fun, as all of us learnt the safety procedures, paddling and kicking. Some of us even got a wave, but others unfortunately weren’t so lucky. After the last activity, everyone had a snack, a quick shower and got changed. The beach day was a trip to remember as everyone made new friends and became a better friend themselves.

Tom Newnham CAMP In the coldest part of the year we travelled down to Myrnigyong. To stay at the YMCA Recreational Centre. Everyone was very eager to hop off their bus and find out their roommates. After we finished setting up and talking with the owners of the park, we finally got into the activities, some of the activities included bike riding, raft building, the flying fox and many more. The majority of the people enjoyed the flying fox and the bike riding. All the teachers were very proud of us boys because we all had a go at all the activities and tried our best.

The reason we went to camp was to meet new friends and try new experiences. We all enjoyed ourselves and looking forward to next camp.

Year 8 Year 8 has required the boys to work on becoming independent learners. Taking on responsibility, seeking out answers for themselves and taking charge of their learning. The boys have been lead well this year by a fine group of student leaders and I congratulate them for their enthusiasm in their role. I encourage all boys to continue to strive for their very best.

The boys have participated in many great and varied experiences.

During Year 8 the boys have grown enormously both in their physical development and social/emotional development.This has seen them develop into fine young men and I have had the pleasure of building a strong respectful relationship with the boys. I would also like to thank the Year 8 Homeroom teachers for the commitment they have shown throughout the year. I will miss seeing the boys around the college and look forward to their return to the college in 2017.

I wish the current Year 8 boys all the very best for your future years at St Joseph’s College.

Claire Wrigley - Year 8 Coordinator Several Year 8 boys have reflected on the various activities they have been involved in this year…..

YEAR 8 RENEWALS

Earlier in the year we undertook a renewals day to learn more about ourselves and have a fresh start.We had a guest speaker Travis Dempsey from the band ‘The Living End’ come to talk to us about his childhood. He came from not such a good background and ended up being a world famous drummer, he seemed to of achieved so much during his life. As one of the activities for the day, in our group he gave us a drumming lesson. Overall it was a great day, and I can’t wait till the next one.

Finn Dripps – 8B

ACC BASKETBALL

The first round of the ACC basketball was held at MSAC, the junior team played well but lost the grand final, which meant they would advance.

In the second round the team won their first game 43-5 which helped to boost their confidence.The team lost their second game but won in a thrilling quarter-final which went into overtime. The junior team lost in the semi-final to finish as the third best team in Division 1. Whilst not the finish they wanted, the boys proved that they could play against the stronger basketball schools.

Matthew Teale – 8B

PROJECT BASED LEARNING

In Term 3, several religion classes were able to participate in a new learning program known as ‘Project Based Learning’. The focal point of this style of learning is group work and collaboration skills. Experts say that traditional styles of learning in where the teacher stands at the front of the room and tells students what to do doesn’t prepare them for the real world. The PBL that I participated in for Religion, started with each of the chosen classes being divided into five groups, each given a non-profit food organisation and a driving question about ‘how can we as Catholic School students mobilise our local community to meet the need for food assistance’.

Throughout the term each group compiled a list of ‘knows’ and ‘need to knows’, participated in benchmarks and finally performed a Culminating Task by presenting an exhibition of all the work the group had completed over the term and ways to help those in need. The feedback varied during the process of reflection with several students said they really enjoyed it while the majority stated that it wasn’t their preferred learning style.

Nathan Fox- 8C

WINTER SLEEP OUT

Many boys participated in the winter sleep out which was an event to help raise awareness for homelessness. It was a great insight and was an experience to remember.

Thomas Bucki-Smith – 8E

MCG TOUR

In activities week we went to the MCG. We went on a tour of the ground and found out a lot of interesting facts. After the tour we went to the sports museum were we got to watch grand final highlights, listen to inspirational stories from legends off different games. The most exciting part of the experience was when we got to play games like soccer where we had penalty shots and cricket to see how quick you can throw the ball to get the batsman out.

Bailey Patton – 8J

OLD MELBOURNE GOAL

The Old Melbourne Gaol was a great place to visit. It was a dark and quiet place, but full of history. We learnt about Ned Kelly’s story, and how it led to his execution inside the Gaol.

Patrick Sweet- 8H

Year 8 The Melbourne Experience saw all Year 8 students travel via buses and trains to see some of Melbourne’s most historic and culturally significant places. We learned about the long history of Australian film making at the ACMI (the Australian Centre for the Moving Image), we visited the Melbourne Museum and the spectacular Eureka Skydeck. We heard about how our country became culturally diverse at The Immigration Museum. We visited the spooky Melbourne Goal and the mighty MCG! Jai Iacovella – 8J

URBAN EXPERIENCE

During the Melbourne urban experience trip 2015, the Year 8 students went to the Eureka tower.The skyscraper is the largest building in Melbourne. For myself and many others this was the highlight of the trip. We travelled to the 88th floor and from there got a fantastic view of all the sporting venues and other huge buildings. A small group of us went out on the skydeck, a small glass box that slides out of the tower.This was an amazing experience being able to see Melbourne from below. At the same time this was very scary as we only had glass below us.

Overall this part of the trip was great and a real highlight 2015.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

As a part of my 2 hours of community service, I went to the breakfast program. This is a program that runs at some schools providing kids with breakfast on certain days by parents and volunteers. When I participated in the program, I really enjoyed doing it as there was lots to do like making toast and putting butter or jam on them, pouring drinks at the drink station and

then packing up (doing the dishes, putting the tables away etc.).

I really enjoyed the breakfast program because I was able to experience helping others in our community, making breakfast for the kids but also because all the kids were very grateful, had very good manners and were very kind.

WESTCOURT EXPO

The Westcourt Expo was an interesting and fantastic. First, we met Travis Demsey the former drummer of popular Australian band, The Living End. Travis gave us a fascinating insight on his life as a rebellious teenager to a global rock star and then a youth worker. His main message was to follow your dreams, no matter what obstacles may arise. We also did other cool interactive activities like boxing, food tech, bongo playing and many more! Also, we were given an extensive tour of the exciting facilities at the Campus. It was all in all a great success and just a taste of what lies ahead at Westcourt.

THURSDAY MORNING GATHERINGS

Every Thursday morning all of the Year 8 Homerooms combined for a whole year level gathering. Every week one of the Homeroom groups had the chance to read the prayer, bulletin and achievements in front of all the boys. It is a great way for boys to improve their public speaking skills and share each other’s achievements. It is also a good way for Mrs Wrigley to get out any important information to all the boys.

Westcourt Campus There are many great experiences I had at Westcourt.

Some were better than others but I think I should start on my first day. I was so shy and scared on my first day going to a new campus basically to a new school. There was a new class, new students and new teachers but some recognizable faces. I remember walking into the campus feeling petrified because it was going to be a new experience.

This new experience over the time being in Westcourt really did change me as a student and as a leader. As a leader it offered opportunities for me to talk in front of the Westcourt teachers and students about upcoming events or social issues. As a student it offered me time to develop more friendships because it was just Year 9 students at the campus. My time at Westcourt was amazing, I have developed new friends, I had chances speaking to students at Westcourt and at the Edmund Rice Campus and finally I was able to develop more maturity and take on new challenges from the outstanding teaching skills from the teachers at Westcourt.

My experiences at Westcourt really did change me. It helped me improve academically and it also helped me mature more to lead me to becoming a good man. I would like to thank all the staff and Westcourt for making my year amazing. I would also like to thank all the students at Westcourt for being on your best behaviour at all times and treating the campus with the utter most respect.

ANZAC DAY COMMEMORATION

In 2015 we had a magnificent cohort of students at the Westcourt Campus. The boys shared many experiences and achieved significant goals throughout their time at Westcourt. The subjects that were provided not only challenged our boys academically, but physically and emotionally as well.

The staff at Westcourt constantly refer to the development that occurs to the boys throughout their time at the Year 9 Campus. On arrival the boys appear anxious, a little apprehensive, excited and physically smaller. As the year progresses we see them develop and mature into young men, ready to tackle the rigorous nature of senior schooling. Some of the highlights from the year include:

The Year 9 camp at the Grampians gave the boys the opportunity to appreciate the natural surroundings and challenge themselves physically through the numerous activities. It was wonderful to see the bond that was created amongst the students and watch them develop the necessary life skills through the various challenges the ANZAC Day camp provides.

Michael Timms - Head of Campus

This year we combined the ANZAC Commemoration day with Clonard College. It was a sensational day that combined a moving ceremony in the morning with workshops that highlighted the sacrifices our soldiers had made for us. The day concluded with a solo performance on the experiences shared by the ANZAC’s and Turkish soldiers.

CHALLENGE SUBJECTS

The students thoroughly enjoy the Challenge subjects that are offered at Westcourt. These subjects have provided the students with enjoyment and particular skills that they will carry through with them forever.

AMAZING RACE

All students at the Westcourt Campus were fortunate to participate in an Amazing Race around the CBD of Melbourne. It highlighted to the students the different aspects of the city and educated them on specific history that has made Australia the country it is today.

YEAR 9 SOCIAL WITH CLONARD COLLEGE / FRIDAY SOCIAL DAY The students at Westcourt are fortunate enough to share every Friday at lunch with the Year 9 Clonard students.

We feel that this has developed the boys social skills immensely and also further cemented the strong relationship we are building with Clonard College.

They also held a social between the two colleges which was a huge success and a well organised event by the schools leaders.

Westcourt Campus WESTCOURT CURRICULUM

A few years ago, I read a novel about a man who was left stranded on Mars and had to rely on his own resources in order to survive for over four hundred days until rescued. The novel was The Martian,

by Andy Weir and it is a fictional story set in the very near future. I recalled reading the book and wondering how it must have been for this man to dig deep into his memory bank, retrieve information (that he never thought he would need to use) and apply it as a matter of survival. I won’t go on about the journey the main character had and how the book ended, but I do wholeheartedly recommend it.

What I do want to extract from the novel are the endeavours of the primary and secondary characters, who worked together, through countless trials and errors and mishaps in order to bring the main character home. The human spirit endures a lot of knock backs and knock downs, but it is through these times of struggle, that help build resilience and allows us to build the capacity to persevere.

This is how we realise our potential in making a difference.

Our students similarly worked in striving to realise their full potential by building on the skills needed in achieving success in all areas of curriculum. Every subject is centred on skill acquisition and inquiry, with each unit building on the last and all manifested through action. For example focusing on 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’. Other curriculum focus included promoting problem solving skills, particularly through student’s Challenge subjects i.e. ‘RC Cars’, where students have had to

diagnose and apply reverse engineering in order to repair specific components of a model car. Another area where problem solving was applied consistently, was through the problem based questions in mathematics. Student choice was also a successful introduction, which not only focused on empowering students in decision making, but also engaging them. In ‘Think’, students were exposed to matrix tasks, which provided a choice of tasks to complete as part of their final assessment. Students were also introduced to ‘Connected Reading’, a program focused on accommodating student needs, by providing novels to students based on their ability. In ‘Rite Journey’, students participated in informal discussions regarding their development, including how to communicate, respectful relationships, understanding who we are and violence prevention. The skills developed in these ‘Rite Journey’ classes, were put to the test in specific rituals, i.e. The Calling, Year 9 camp, Amazing Race and Solo/ Reflective camp.

Students were involved in in-school activities facilitated by external organisations with the aim of bringing together the skills delivered in our classes.

Peter Malone led a group, to plant over five hundred trees as part of national tree planting day. Education Interactive presented forensic workshops to ‘Crime Time’ classes and Sam Clear addressed the boys on the importance of faith an integrity, a highlight for many students.

Needless to say these activities are just a snapshot of our diverse curriculum, where the intention is to encourage students to change from being receptacles of knowledge, to more meaningful learners.

Year 10 RENEWAL On 18 and 19 August, Year 10 participated in a Renewal. This Renewal experience was specifically tailored to our age group, focusing on driving, safe partying and our transition into adulthood. The program was split into two days, with half the students attending seminars staged at school, and the other half travelling to the racecourse for a more ‘spiritual’ experience.

The sessions at school were broken into three parts. The road to acquiring our learners permit, a presentation by John Maher on the consequences of hazardous driving and finally the importance of safe partying. The first speaker was a representative from Vicroads who came to speak about the process of gaining a licence and how to properly prepare for driving. This presentation was extremely enlightening as the majority of the Year Level was either getting their licence or already had one. The second presenter was John Maher, who told us of the loss of his daughter. He pelted us with raw emotion when he described his daughter’s death. He made us realize that the consequences of unsafe driving are catastrophic.

Finally, we had a session on safe partying, which is essential for people of our age.

At the racecourse, our casual clothes added an atmosphere of levity that made us eager for the day to come. Indigenous speaker and musician Scott Darlow, talked to us for most of the time about the welfare of indigenous Australians. The day also comprised of little activities like meditation, which helped get us in touch with our ‘inner’ selves.

This Renewal helped the Year 10s to understand what it takes to be an adult.

Isaac Travers-Hucker CAREERS WEEK In the last week of Term 2,Year 10 students took part in Careers Week. With the focus being that boys start to look towards Year 11 and 12, as well as a potential future they wish to pursue. The week consisted of teachers outlining the potential pathways in the Senior Years of school (VCAL, VET and VCE), guest speakers, seminars and small activities. This helped students who knew what they wanted to do, so that they could further explore and look

36

into all pathways. It was, however, also beneficial for the students who didn’t know what they wanted to do, as they were able to have the chance to learn and explore all things as future and potential pathways. Everything that boys had a chance to participate in, enabled them to get an understanding of the real-life work force and the problems they may encounter, as well as finding out what was required of them for that particular career.

Overall, it was a great informative experiences that allowed all the boys to gain a better understanding of what’s required in the future.

James Dillon FOOTY AND SOCCER Year 10 boys were introduced to competitive interschool sport for the first time this year, in the form of Year 10 football and soccer. This involved either playing at home or travelling to Melbourne on a Tuesday to play against other schools. Playing for the teams was a huge commitment from all the boys, missing up to four periods of lessons a week, to represent the school in their representative sport. Both teams had a successful season, with the football team narrowly losing to St Bede’s College in their grand final, showing great character and fight. The soccer team were introduced to the fierce competition of the ACC, losing 3 of their 4 games, with the highlight coming in the 5-0 win against Simonds College. A big thank you to all the teachers who were involved with both teams, sacrificing their time to coach and support the boys!

Hugh McMahon THE SOCIAL During Term 3, Clonard, Sacred Heart and St Joseph’s Year 10s, joined together for the annual Social, designed to build relationships with peers from other schools.

Three schools, a few fedoras and a one Dance floor to rule them all. Early ‘pre-game’ nerves were present with a few guys rehearsing conversation starters in the corner…Okay maybe it was just me, but regardless, it looked like division barracks out there. But, with the flick of the lights and some music beats courtesy of DJ Mitch, the invisible barricades faded off into the night and the festivities truly began.All the girls looked magnificent and the lads scrubbed up nicely as well. However, something was missing - someone to pull out one of their classic

Year 10 dance moves and to show everyone how it’s done. And, in a Wizard like fashion, there appeared an ‘Afroteric’ (yes, new word) shuffling maestro in the form of John Bertucci.

He set the room alight and was admired by all in a clear “best on” performance.

Even though it was a chilly winter night, it certainly wasn’t cold on the dance floor - quite the opposite in fact with all having a rave and bob during the night. There was diversity in many forms, ranging from backgrounds, dress colours to dance moves and all came together nicely as one. A great night was shared by all, with “can we have another Formal this year?!” being a frequently asked question after the lights came on. A lot of friendships were made on the night and catching up with old mates who you hadn’t seen since you were a “Ginormous Grade 6er” was also a blast.

A massive thanks must go to the staff who helped organise and chaperone the night. To the Joey’s faithful, the young fellas did us proud. Bravo Lads!

Andrew McNeel COMMUNITY SERVICE One thing St Joseph’s College is renowned for, is its involvement in the wider community, and in keeping with that this year, all of the students from Year 10 participated in a program that ran for 4 weeks, taking them out to an Aged Care home to spend some time with the residents.

During these visits, the boys got very involved in the daily routine of the residents - a normal day included games of bingo and poker, seated Tai-chi and visits from family members. Bingo was very popular with the boys and the games got quite competitive. It was great to follow the nuances that many of the residents practised, where your

counters had to be specifically placed on the board and that absolute silence was needed for maximum luck! If we weren’t playing bingo or practicing Tai-chi, we had a great opportunity to talk to the residents about their childhoods. It was amazing how vivid their memory was of High School or where they grew up, or even who their best friends were. Just to spend time with these ‘wells of wisdom’ was a great experience for all who took part and I don’t think it’s something any of us will be forgetting any time soon.

Finbar Kinna YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE (A PERSONAL ACCOUNT) My placement for Work Experience was at a small Catholic Primary School called St Roberts in Newtown. I commenced on a Monday morning at 8:30 am accompanied by another student, and was allocated to work with the prep class. During the day, I assisted in the maths class as well as religion and show time. On the Tuesday and Wednesday, I was required to assist the Year 2s and 3s with IT in the class room, and a variety of projects including PowerPoint and Prezi. On Thursday and Friday, I was involved in assisting the students with physical education class where we played netball and football.

This was a great experience that provided me with some insight into the role of a Catholic Primary School Teacher. I was able to engage with the staff and ask questions as well as building rapport with the students. I really benefited from this experience and would enjoy doing this again if I had the opportunity.

Year 11 The Year 11 Cohort of 2015 has created success in a variety of domains. From the classroom through to debating; from the sporting field through to music and drama productions; the year level has achieved some extraordinary results.

A standout for the year was their involvement in Activities Week. The year level had the opportunity to participate in community service at locations such as: Scope, Willowite, Shannon Park, Aged care facilities, ANGAIR, Dogrocks boneseed removal, Vinnies as well as maintenance work at SJC. Through these experiences the students served and represented St Joseph’s extremely well.

ACTIVITY WEEK STUDENT ACCOUNTS: A group of Year 11s were assigned to visit SCOPE during our Activities Week. SCOPE is a centre where many disabled people from our community spend their days. They’re there for rehabilitation, as well as for social activities and gatherings. The experience itself was eyeopening.

We don’t often think about how the disabled spend their days, or the painful activities they have to go through in order to exercise. Some participants couldn’t speak; others have lost control of parts of their bodies. This was quite confronting to a lot of students because of the challenge of holding a conversation with someone who can’t speak. Throughout the day, we gained a great appreciation for those who chose to spend their days helping those much less fortunate than us. We also developed a confidence that the disabled are being looked after and aren’t simply being ignored; however, it was evident that these centres need more funding, because the participants only deserve the best after what they’ve been through.

Daniel Rabbat - 11F Activities week was a bundle of fun, but a highlight for me - and I’m sure many other students - was the aged care facilities we visited throughout Geelong. Bupa Barrabool was a very rewarding place to be in and felt it was our way to give back to the community as we engaged in conversation and games with the residents. It not only gave me a big smile on my face, but it also gave the residents a big smile as well. Our Year 11 boys loved it, and the elderly members of Geelong loved it just as much.

Nathan Clark -11D

Whilst on community service during activities week in Term 2, my fellow classmates and I spent a day at Northern Bay Primary School (Hendy Street campus) in Corio. This experience not only gave the primary school students much enjoyment, but it gave us an insight into how primary schools in troubled communities function.The children’s sheer excitement at spending time with some older kids and showing off their colouring skills was an aspect of the day that overwhelmed most of us. Most of the kids were sorry to see us leave and would have gone home with happy memories and been excited for the next day.

Oli Darcy - 11B We went to Willowite farm in Anglesea, a sanctuary and rescue shelter for wildlife. Here we learnt about the importance of protecting animals. Pete and Jeannette, the owners, gained valuable help as the boys helped build fences, weeded and fed some of the animals. In all it was a rewarding experience and a highlight of my community service week.

Adam Karpinski - 11F During the 2015 activities week, the Year 11 student cohort embarked on community service. This involved a range of activities that benefited the community. One of these activities was to become exposed and educated in disability awareness. During this session, Year 11’s were given certain sports to play under circumstances that would be deemed disabled. This included playing sports blindfolded or limb restrained through rope, to demonstrate the physical challenges that active disabled people endure. Besides learning what people with disabilities had to overcome in activities such as sport, we found in these sessions that they are no less competitive, determined or different to people without a disability. Our guest speaker Richard Colman gave us an insight into what people with a disability can achieve and do, just as well for people without a disability. His story on making the Paraolympics for wheelchair racing and winning gold was a truly inspirational triumph in this seminar.

Chad Suphamongkol The students also participated in a Pornography education day and Disability Awareness activities. These activities were somewhat challenging and confronting for some students

43

Year 11 but enabled them to gain a greater understanding of the complexities involved in these areas.

To all the boys who have completed community service outside of school, well done. Your dedication and compassion to the local community is a credit to you.

MOVEMBER During November a number of Year 11 boys participated in Movember, raising money and awareness for men’s health issues.The commitment to the cause was impressive with many boys raising large amounts of money that will help support, promote and assist men’s health issues. Well done to all boys involved!

VISUAL COMMUNICATION & DESIGN This year in year 11 Visual communication Design, we gained new skills in perspective, observational, typography and technical drawing. Mr Cahir and Mrs Kean have demonstrated in class this year, what we are expected to know and practise in order to become successful in our designing future; folio development, research and annotation have all been major components that move us towards next year’s final goal. An added benefit this year was the ability to exhibit in the 2015 Top Designs Exhibition that showcased all of the top students’ work from last year’s course. All of the detail, hard work and planning reflected in some of these folios seen, were a big heads up for what we are expected to accomplish next year. This year’s class has been without doubt the most beneficial and enjoyable.

2016 LEADERS A very special congratulations to Rhys Hegyesi, Gurbeny Mangar and Ben Kenworthy who were voted in by their peers and staff as the College Captain and Deputies for 2015. Personally, I’d like to congratulate these three boys and all the other Year 11 students who have taken on leadership roles next year. The contribution and efforts of all the leaders next year will further support and enable the College to continue to move forward in the 21st century.

A number of boys have worked diligently throughout 2015 in creating positive professional relationships outside of school in the workforce. From this, a number of boys will be leaving the College and we farewell these boys in their future endeavours. We thank them for their contribution to the College and we wish them all the very best for the next chapter of their lives – you will always be welcome back to St Joseph’s and we hope to see you at future school reunions.

To the rest of the year level that is returning in 2016 to complete Year 12, we hope that you have a safe, restful summer period, combined with study in preparation for the challenge of Year 12. Upon your return you will be challenged and pushed to new limits in what will be a fun, exciting and memorable year.

Year 12 SPORT CARNIVALS The first major sporting event of 2015 was the swimming carnival held in February. Even with a lack of year 12’s there, the noise levels were off the charts as they motivated and encouraged their teams to success. The eventual winner of the day was Butler followed by Brophy, with top swimmers from Year 12 including the pair of human fish, Nathan Keating and Tom Veale.

The next major carnival in the school calendar was the school Athletics day in March and was the first opportunity for the cohort to dress up in their house colours. One of the best dressed (and body painted) included Jack Brown from Butler as an ‘Avatar’. The winning house on the day was Brophy, securing their first victory in athletics since, well, forever. Jack Buckley and speedster Raven Marika starred as the top two athletes on the day.

The final major sporting carnival of the year, the cross country on Edmund Rice Day, rounded out a very busy first term. The winning house was Butler with Jack Hockley-Samon claiming first place, Jake Williamson 2nd while Ashley Gillespie rounded out the top 3.

It has been a huge honour to represent my house as captain and I congratulate everyone for their participation throughout the year.

Liam Cogan - Brophy House Captain WINTER FORMAL The much anticipated Year 12 Winter Formal was nothing less than what it was built up to be – a sensational night all round!! Wednesday the 24th of June saw the Year 12s from Joey’s, SHC, Clonard and St. Ignatius gather in the highly decorative and Nathan Dillon receiving unrecognisable Brother O S Adams centre for the his Premier’s Award purpose of raising awareness and fundraising for from the Education Minister James Merlino Headspace. In what was a remarkable effort from all involved, we as a collective, were able to raise over $5000.

The night opened with the rolling in of students frocked up and looking their absolute best - Jackson Gravett (SJC) and Bridget Taylor (SHC) were crowd favourites and took out the best dressed award. A massive highlight of the night was having the privilege to see the one and only, Mark Stracey, winding back the clock and

50

putting students to shame on the dance floor.

In what was a terrific night, none of it would have been possible without the help from the organising committee, DJs, staff volunteering to supervise and to all who attended, so a huge thank you to you all. I would also like to congratulate the College Captains from their respective schools for their hard work behind the scenes for enabling this amazing night to have happened. I have no doubt that next year’s Year 12s will have just as much fun at their Winter Formal as what we did.

Sam Plummer - Jordan House Captain YEAR 12 LIFE Year 12 can be a daunting prospect – the pressure of weekly SACs and a demanding workload can at times seem overwhelming.While all of your previous schooling has essentially lead towards this final year, your academic success in Year 12 is not the only you will remember.

This year I have been fortunate enough to maintain and develop some very close friendships with fellow peers, and as a whole, the class of 2015 has been extremely supportive of one another.

However, the relationships formed with peers are not the only rapports that we have developed in year 12, you will also befriend people who perhaps you thought you never would. I am referring, of course, to your teachers.

While in previous years we may have butted heads with our teachers on more than one occasion, by the time Year 12 had rolled around I think we finally understood that they were only trying to help us. Throughout the year they have put in an enormous amount of work to ensure that each and every student is able to achieve their best.They have been our best resource throughout this demanding year.

Year 12 can very hectic, and because of this it is natural to at times feel a bit stressed out or overwhelmed. We have had to juggle homework, sport and a part time job while still making sure we get to spend enough time on the Ps4 or Xbox. However, as demanding as Year 12 can be, the year is also filled with a number of special occasions such as the constant 18th’s, being able to drive, and the extra independence that we have. So in order to combat the stress of school, it is important that you maintain a balanced life, rather than locking yourself in your bedroom all night.

Year 12 To conclude, on behalf of the entire class of 2015, I would like to extend thanks to all of our teachers from Year 7 through to Year 12, Mr Scaddan for making this year as smooth as it possibly could be, and finally to all of our parents who have been a pillar of support during the tough times. St Joseph’s has been an important part of our lives for the past 6 years, and while we will forever be ‘Joey’s Boys’, it is time for us to move on with the next stage of our lives.

Zac Stankiewicz - Brophy House Deputy Captain Congratulations to all students for their efforts over the years that have led them to becoming part of the Graduating Class of 2015. Although you mark the end of your time at St Joseph’s, you will always be considered a treasured member of our school community.

thank you in particular to Emma Cuthill (Year 8 & 9 Coordinator), Claire Brown and Paul Clohesy for their support of this cohort as well as Paul Tobias for being the rock upon which we all stand.

To the student Leadership team led admirably by Captain David McNeel and his deputies Jackson Gravett and Tom Doedee, thank you for leading your teams so competently and being a source of enthusiasm and inspiration for others to follow.

Remember the great downball comps, remember the dedication that was needed to obtain tremendous marks, remember the countless community service hours you completed, remember all the ‘sauso’ sizzles but, above all, remember the contribution St Joseph’s made in assisting you become the man you are today.

Andrew Scaddan - Year 12 Coordinator

A school does not function well without outstanding and dedicated staff. On behalf of the class of 2015, I would like to thank each and every teacher and mentor who has contributed to their St Joseph’s journey. A special

Mission Team LITURGY @ SJC At the heart of every Catholic community is the Eucharistic celebration.

The roots of this Christian ritual are entwined in the Passover as the very first Eucharist celebrated was at the Last Supper with Jesus and his disciples. At St Joseph’s College we celebrate the Mass on many celebratory occasions – Edmund Rice Day, Mother’s Day, Graduation Mass and the final day of school. Yet liturgies also play an important role at our school especially for Ash Wednesday and Easter.

For the Ash Wednesday liturgy all students were encouraged to “shed a skin” during the Lenten season in order to bring about new life. They were asked to make three commitments: to their family, to the St Joseph’s community, to the earth and global community.

These slips of paper were burnt and formed the ashes that marked the cross on their forehead.These ashes reminded us that everyone in our school community has negative layers that need to be shed and we are all striving to be people who benefit the communities we live in.

Our Easter Liturgy focused on Jesus being the great includer. He welcomed everyone to his table, he sat with them at the table and he invited them to the table. The original vision of an Edmund Rice school in Australia was a school that ‘… is open to all who wish to avail themselves of it without distinction of creed, colour or nationality. No child can be refused admission on the score of religion or payment”. Our school community was asked, “Who do we invite to sit at the table?” The liturgy encouraged us to change our behaviour, to open our hearts and minds, to continue to shed our negative skins which will help us undo the act of crucifixion.

Student Leader, RE PBL Pilot Rhys Hegyesi With excitement and some trepidation, three distributing the ash year 8 RE classes began the very first Project on Ash Wednesday Based Learning projects as part of a pilot program. They were challenged by the driving question: How do PBL group loading the Second we as Catholic-school students Bite van after collecting food mobilise our community to meet at Aldi the need for food assistance?

The students were inspired by the entry event which included Richard Slevin (a person who has formerly experienced homelessness) and Bill Mithen (CEO of Give Where You Live) imploring the boys to

62

PBL project group Oscar Mazaraki, Jacob Stevens, Will Dawson, Michael La Spada,Teague Ryan and Finn Spence

help them help those in need in our community After researching the current need for food assistance in Geelong, which was greater than anyone thought, the students identified an organisation which they wanted to support including the Geelong Outreach Van, Geelong Food Relief Centre, Secondbite, St Mary’s Parish Pantry and Give Where You Live.

Once in groups the students developed a plan to seek support from their local community for their chosen organisation which they put into action. For some this meant raising awareness of the organisation and for others seeking donations of goods, food or money. The main criteria for their action plan was they had to find out what each organisation most needed and develop a plan to meet this need. Following the actioning of the plans, the groups presented their plans, results and evaluations at a marvellous showcase. Representatives from the organisations and the St Joseph’s College leadership were invited to come and see the displays, speak to the boys about what they had done, and to award gold stars to the most effective groups. This event was an exhilarating way to end the project and certainly gave the students an opportunity to present their work and be proud of their achievements.

Rachel Roche, Vicki Mills and Jo Hart Below are some responses from students in 8C following their evaluation of the project: What is one thing you’ve learnt through the PBL RE project?

I have learnt that a lot of the community of Geelong are really committed to making a change because everyone we stopped they listened and donated and passed the message around to support Secondbite.

Jordan Fama The most important fact that I have learnt about my community is that the organisations don’t just need volunteers and donations but what they really need is for the word to be put out for everyone to know about them and how they can support people in hard times.

Lachlan Stonehouse How would you describe this project to a new group of Year 8s?

That it is an interactive way to talk to others and get work done in a fun way, and you get to talk to big companies and make change happen.

ATSI News & Immersions This year we have 23 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students here at St Joseph’s, including four young men from remote communities in the Northern Territory. We have had a busy but rewarding year and have participated in numerous activities.

To start the year off we had a BBQ with our ATSI families, staff and students from the four Catholic schools, which was a great opportunity to catch up with everyone, as well as introduce the new Year 7s to the group. In Term 1 we sadly said goodbye to Kylie Pretty, the 2014 ATSI Coordinator, who headed off on a new adventure to China with her family.

In July, students from the four Catholic Schools came together again to attend the ATSI Camp at CYC in Melbourne.

“It was a good experience and it was even better that we got to learn about our culture at the Bunjilaka museum. It was also good to meet other people and learn about their stories.

All in all it was a really good day, capped off by the footy!”

Callum McGough - Year 10 & Jurrin Romanis - Year 9.

Term 3 was an extremely eventful one! Students participated in the Watta Watnanda Cultural Day at the Korin Gamadji Institute at Richmond Football Club, getting involved in activities such as modern Aboriginal dance, listening to guest speakers and a footy clinic. We were also very fortunate to participate in Yapanyepuk, the first International Indigenous Education Symposium & Youth Forum in Melbourne. Here, senior Indigenous and non-Indigenous students had the opportunity to meet with world leaders in Indigenous education from universities in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US. Together, they were able to put forth their opinions about the future for Indigenous Education in Australia.

“At the youth forum, some of the schools in Geelong and Melbourne came together to talk about diversity in our countries and also indigenous people internationally.

Alongside this, what it means to have indigenous studies and fire-carrier groups and what they can try and accomplish” Sebastian McDougall - Year 11.

A group of Year 8 ATSI students: Joel Hutchinson, Fraser Mackus and Kaleb Owen participated in a year-long art project in connection with Narana Cultural Institute and Geelong Hospital where they created Aboriginal artwork to be displayed in the Geelong Hospital. This project culminated with an official opening where the

Official opening of Aboriginal Art Project at Geelong Hospital

students were invited to see their artwork on display along with local politicians and prominent Aboriginal leaders. In addition, two of our students, Isaac Wunungmurra and Jazariah Marrkula, were chosen to participate in the Worlds of Work aspirations program run by the Catholic Education Office, a five day residential program in Melbourne that provides students with an opportunity to explore possible vocational pathways.

We had a visit from Monash University, enabling the boys to find out information about tertiary study. This is what Jack Brogden in Year 10 had to say about it: “Krystel came down from Monash and talked about potential opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at Uni and, in particular, at Monash. She brought in a current student and they discussed what university life is like and that you don’t need an amazing ATAR to achieve the goal you want!”

We also had the opportunity to participate in Mindfulness lessons, to help students focus on exams and assisted with Year 7 renewals, where Susan Collins and senior ATSI students taught the Year 7s about compassion, Aboriginal Culture and the Stolen Generation.

“Being part of the ATSI group at Joeys allows me to be a part of a group of students who are Aboriginal like me. I don’t feel different, I feel like I can be myself with them and like learning about each other’s culture. We love the activities, but especially the pizza lunches at our meetings!”

Kaelan Morrison - Year 10 This year’s group have successfully implemented a fortnightly newsletter “ATSI News @ SJC” and a group Facebook page to facilitate communication between the school, students and families. They also have had regular lunchtime meetings, “Our Supporting the Yarning Circle”, so that we can spend some time Recognition campaign together, having a yarn about what everyone is up to and learning about each other’s stories. In 2016, we have Yapanyepuk Youth Forum introduced a new leadership role – the ATSI Captains – who will act as mentors to younger ATSI students and as representatives for ATSI culture in the school.

We congratulate Sebastian McDougall, Jack Brogden and Jazariah Marrkula on successfully obtaining these positions and look forward to seeing what they can achieve next year!

RECONCILIATION WEEK Reconciliation Week activities started on Wednesday 27th May with the annual Reconciliation Match between St Joseph’s and St Bernard’s Colleges, which highlighted the need for reconciliation in all fields, including on the sporting field. After a pre-game Reconciliation Ceremony, SJC players, wearing specially designed jerseys designed by a local Aboriginal artist, were victorious and managed to hold on to the much sought after Reconciliation Cup! Reconciliation Week activities continued with a moving Reconciliation Mass led by ATSI students and Firecarriers to the theme “it’s not the colour of your skin”, bringing awareness to the fact that not all Indigenous people are stereotypically dark-skinned. The students shared a bit of their heritage and we enjoyed a performance by Yirrmal, a past SJC student who is now an internationally renowned vocal performer. At the Mass, ATSI students debuted their very own Acknowledgement of Country, which they wrote and of which they were deservedly very proud!

Students also went along to the Marngrook Footy Show, Reconciliation in the Park and the Victorian Aboriginal Remembrance Service at the Shrine of Remembrance, as well as

Daly River Immersion

Dreamtime at the G – including the Long Walk, a gesture of solidarity for Aboriginal Australians to celebrate the respectful relationships shared by ATSI people and other Australians.

IMMERSION TRIPS Students at SJC have the opportunity to attend three immersion trips in partnership with Indigenous communities around Australia. Year 9s visit Yeppoon, a community north of Rockhampton, Year 10s head to Daly River while Year 11s have the opportunity to go to the Tiwi Islands.

Louisa Biviano - ATSI Coordinator & Susan Collins - Koori Education Worker DARWIN/TIWI ISLANDS TRIP 2015 During Activities Week a group of 12 students travelled to Bathurst Island as part of the cultural immersion program at St Joseph’s, aimed at educating students about the importance of Reconciliation. Whilst in Darwin we met Tejinda Singh and his family who run a soup van once a month to feed the homeless as a part of their expression of faith of their Sikh religion. On the island, we were warmly welcomed into the Nguiu community by all of the elders and children. Together we sang and danced, played basketball and learnt some of the local language. For four days, we became part of this tight-knit community and experienced life in the shoes of an Indigenous person living in a remote area.

The trip was an amazing experience that changed all of our perspectives on the way Indigenous Australians live and I would strongly encourage future students to take this opportunity to learn more about Indigenous culture.

Community Service Providing service to the community is a touchstone of all Edmund Rice Schools; participating in community service is fundamental to living out of the value of compassion – one of the College’s three key tenets.

The spirit of Edmund Rice has been thriving throughout 2015, with Joey’s boys learning and developing through active participation in a wide range of activities that have met the various needs of the wider community.

The Year 7 and 8 students have been leading the charge on the service front in 2015! They have overseen the breakfast program for the year – cooking and serving breakfast to students at Christ the King, St Francis Xavier and St Thomas Aquinas – ensuring the primary students are ready to learn with a full tummy! 50 of the boys also put their hands up for the Winter Sleep Out, an event run to raise awareness of homelessness and much needed funds for people in the Geelong region. They, along with 20 senior students, managed to fundraise over $3000 to be used in our local community.

Year 7 students also coordinated a casual dress day, raising over $1300 for Samaritan House, a local facility providing accommodation to homeless men that St Joseph’s staff volunteer at two nights each month. The Year 8s promoted and organised the TouCan Appeal for the Geelong Food Relief Centre and the Vinnie’s Winter Appeal to collect warm clothing and blankets for the local community, with so much being donated that they had to come back with a bigger truck to collect it all!

At the senior end of the school, our VCE students have continued the legacy of Edmund Rice. They have helped save lives with their fortnightly blood donations, spearheaded the Refugee Holiday Programs, worked in op shops and crewed the Geelong Outreach Van every Sunday night. A special mention must be given to the group of students who have volunteered their time, every Monday afternoon, to the Refugee Tutoring Program. These dedicated young men embody the spirit of the service learning program and are exemplary role models.

In addition to the continuation of the service learning program that now sees Year 7, 8 and VCE students completing compulsory hours, Year 9 and 10 students have been involved with school based community service within their Religious Education classes. The Year 9s helped out in various primary schools around the region: organising and running games and sporting Winter sleepout

events, as well as being reading buddies to younger students. The Year 10s visited residents of aged care facilities, trying their hand at bingo and trivia, cards and carpet bowls, as well as reading and conversing with residents. All students represented the College admirably and their efforts were certainly appreciated by the children and residents!

A special thank you must be given to the generous staff of St Joseph’s, without whom many of these programs simply couldn’t operate.

From driving students for the breakfast program three mornings a week, subbing in for refugee tutoring, rolling up their sleeves to give blood…the list goes on and on. When we expect our students to rise to and accept the challenge of giving back to the community, it is heartening that so many staff are prepared to lead by example and your support is truly appreciated.

Zoe Marshall - Service Learning Coordinator The reason I, along with many others, volunteer for the refugee holiday program is simple: the kids enjoy the day so much that we can’t help but enjoy it ourselves. No one can know what’s going on in their private lives, but for this one day they can forget about everything and give in to their enthusiasm and excitement. The smile plastered across their faces means we have achieved our goal.

Daniel Rabbat - Year 11 At the Winter Sleep Out we participated in a range of activities, heard from a guest speaker, ‘dined’ on a cup of soup and a bread roll before we ‘slept rough’ for the night.

Year 10 Aged Care visits

Thomas Bucki-Smith - Year 8 I do refugee tutoring because it makes a difference in the lives of the children we work with. It brings great satisfaction knowing I’m teaching essential skills to those that want them the most.

Adam Karpinski - Year 11 Volunteering on the Geelong Outreach Van is definitely confronting. The van gives a real world perspective that just can’t be learned in a classroom.

Curriculum St Joseph’s has continued its fine history of providing excellence in education in the tradition of Edmund Rice. In many ways, our College classrooms resemble those found in many excellent secondary schools: our curriculum is broad and taught by well-trained practitioners; students use up-to-date technology to assist their learning; we ensure the safety and wellbeing of students and we maintain excellent learning spaces. What makes our classrooms unique is the very real presence of the Edmund Rice Education Australia Touchstones: Gospel Spirituality, Liberating Education, Inclusive Communities and Justice and Solidarity. The success of a St Joseph’s College education can be seen in communities near and far, universities and workplaces where compassion, innovation and integrity see many of our boys emerging as great citizens.

Our students continue to experience success in both the academic and vocational pathways.This year, almost 280 senior students were enrolled in Vocational Education and Training (VET) subjects in both the VCE and the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL).

Our VCAL students continued to achieve outstanding outcomes in their school-based programs, their structured workplace placements and their nationally recognized certificates. St Joseph’s acknowledges that for a number of boys, a vocational pathway suits their interests and career aspirations. In 2016, we are extending our VCAL program to commence at Year 10. For some students, we believe that this will provide more options for their final years at secondary school.

This year, the College has continued to develop the Westcourt Campus. The soon to be completed Chapel will be a focus of the Catholic identity on campus. Year 9 students enjoy a challenging and rich suite of subjects that prepare them not just academically for the rigour of senior school, but also recognise their worth as young men. During the year, the campus celebrated an award winning ANZAC Day ceremony that showcased student work, displays and presentations commemorating the centenary of the Gallipoli landing.

LITERACY Literacy is the means by which students can access, consume and respond to print and media texts. As students move through secondary school, the increased complexity of the texts that they encounter requires the use of sophisticated strategies in order to understand them.

A review of our student data revealed that many of our students experience difficulty accessing and responding to texts because they did not have PBL meeting of the minds

66

adequately developed literacy strategies. In particular, our students were less effective in writing responses than verbalizing them.

This year we investigated approaches to improving the quality of student writing. In April, in conjunction with Catholic Education Melbourne, we established a Secondary Literacy Improvement Project (S.L.I.P.).

The project involves working with a team of leading teachers to develop their literacy capabilities who will then impart this knowledge to their learning areas across the school. The S.L.I.P. team has participated in a number of training days. There has been considerable growth in the team’s literacy capabilities and while the training will continue for an additional two years, we look forward to implementing a number of the strategies next year.

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING – INNOVATIVE LEARNING Project-Based Learning (PBL) in 2016 will be the educational approach in Year 8 with other year levels added in subsequent years. PBL is a teaching method where students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question, problem, or challenge. Based on the Victorian and Australian Curriculum Standards, PBL focuses on challenging students to investigate a real world problem connected to the curriculum. Students use 21st century skills to collaborate, investigate and communicate in order to create authentic and rigorous learning products that will be publicly presented.

40+ CLUB This year we to established a “40+ Club” for students studying a Unit 3/4 subject and who aspire to achieve 40+ study scores. Achieving high study scores, translates to a high Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) and while much is made of the ATAR in the media, we believe that many of our senior students are motivated by working with like-minded peers as well as listening to the experiences of past high achieving students. The club met over a number of lunchtimes and have heard from previous St Joseph’s high achievers. Boys across Year 11 and Year 12 attended the lunchtime sessions and were able to receive advice and strategies about the balance between work, recreation and study, successful approaches to specific subjects, life beyond Year 12 and about first year university life. Next year, the 40+ Club will continue under a new banner – “Aspire” In 2016 we will be seeking to immerse the boys in a number of experiences and opportunities.

VCAL REAL WORLD SKILLS AND SCENARIOS...APPLIED LEARNING

A new VCAL student has heard phrases such as those above, during the application process. However, for most, it’s not until they find themselves completing a blindfolded obstacle course or assisting the disabled in a supported work environment, that they realise how enjoyable, challenging and unique a VCAL pathway can be.

The Personal Development Skills (PDS) subject area removes students from their familiar comfort zones.

‘PDS’ projects are not hypotheticals. ‘PDS’ demands that the boys run and organise their own events and fundraisers. The obstacle course was part of the ‘Boot camp excursion’ - which was led by Personal Trainer Jess Veenstra from ‘Surefit Geelong’. The excursion was a mix of high intensity workout, problem solving and team building challenges. The fitness component of the day was part of the ‘Stress Management Unit’.

Perhaps the most unique element of the Stress Management Unit is that the boys’ first unit of work was the last time they focussed solely on themselves and their classmates. We are proud to say that, since then, the students have learnt whilst making themselves useful to others in a huge variety of ways.

‘Kick’s for Caleb’ was an initiative started by the Year 7s to support their mate Caleb Neyenhuis. Caleb lost his eyesight to cancer as a toddler. He has earned a spot on the Victorian junior goal ball team. The Year 7 class approached Year 11 VCAL students to organise a fundraiser to support Caleb’s participation in the School Sport Australian championships. The day was a huge success with over $3,300 raised from students and staff at St Joseph’s College. Congratulations to all involved.

This event grew from Caleb’s classmates and an interest the VCAL boys developed whilst working with a group of Year 7 students who access the college Student Services area. Additionally the students have successfully completed the Red Cross ‘Save a Mate’ and ‘Step Back and Think’ workshops. Likewise, they have studied disability and worked alongside the disabled to earn their ‘SCOPE Young Ambassadors’ certificates.

Overall, the boys have embraced all they have faced and we look forward to seeing them utilise their new found organisational and personal skills by going even bigger in Year 12 PDS.

Year 12 VCAL students from Clonard College and St Joseph’s College started the year with a bang by hosting over 200 family, friends and staff at the annual Bowls ‘n Beats event. Attendees enjoyed barefoot bowls, live music, great food, silent auction and raffles. The night raised $5,749.20 for the Cottage by the Sea. The money will be used to support disadvantaged children and their families from our community.

As a part of this community engagement project students learnt about the complex work of the Cottage, the diverse issues facing children and families experiencing disadvantage as well as getting a hands on opportunity in organising a large scale public event.

The boys finished the year by organising a celebration dinner and exhibition of their photography. Family, staff and students enjoyed dinner and heard from award winning past students Zac Herman and Jake Cobb. The inaugural VCAL awards were also presented. The award winners are as follows: Academic Excellence - Michael Vagnoni Spirit Award - Sam Hoffman Self Development Award - Sheridan Stack Outstanding Dedication - Darcy Brajkovic MVP - Ben Nichols Dedication to Structured Workplace Learning Alex Javni & Michael Javni Congratulations to all the Year 12 students on a very successful year. Best of luck for your future studies and apprenticeships.

Ad Alta INDIGENOUS GARDEN PROJECT The glorious brisk morning of 26 May saw the first visible sign of progress towards the completion of the Indigenous Garden Project being undertaken on the site outside the Arts area by the Year 10 Ad Alta students.

The small but determined Ad Alta students have been active in both preparing and researching the project from its infancy at the start of the school year to the completion at the end of Phase 1.

The boys initially assessed the site by physically clearing the area including trees being removed and ground, grass being scraped and as a clean area was established, marking of the design was begun.

This took all of first term and most of second.

As the soil was finally tilled by both bobcat, digga and spades the students worked throughout the weeks to prepare and grade the ground for crushed rock and gabion baskets to follow.

The original brief was to design and build a garden that: 1. Represents the importance of Reconciliation with First Nations people at SJC. 2. Welcomes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to our school.

3. Acknowledges the local Wathaurong community as the traditional custodians of the local country.

The designer is Alice Condon and this project is part of a partnership with Wathaurong Community through Uncle David Tournier with plants from John King – Nursery.

Marking out the initial stages of garden works

Tony Veitenheimer (Buildscape services) has been instrumental in getting the project completed this year and his patience and skills have enabled the students to learn and develop many new and varied skills.

As the design has taken shape, the boys have enjoyed being able to physically see progress being made. Their enthusiasm and energy are evidence of their determination to see this project through the first stage of design. The final planting of the seedlings (by Year 7s who undertook the seed collection and propagation) sees the culmination of hundreds of hours of labour in all weather conditions.

The Ad Alta students involved were: Fraser Toohey, Petar Delac, Brandon Marnell, Max Eddy, Zac Zula, Nick Loughnan and David Handley. I commend the students on their hard work and as phase one of the project is completed we look forward to 2016 and the development of Phase 2.

We have been ably supported this year by Tony Veitenheimer, landscape designer and mentor to the boys, Trav Smith (SJC gardener), Pierre Belluzzo, Jo Hart and Peter Adams (my Term 3 replacement).

OTHER AD ALTA PROJECTS As part of the Certificate 2 in ‘Employment pathways’ the Ad Alta students’ spent time in the school gym covering the outcomes: Being fit for work, Strategies to develop self confidence, Developing strategies for handling conflict and stress and setting personal targets and goals. The students enjoyed discovering legitimate pathways into the Health and Fitness industry.

During Term 3 the Ad Alta students were offered the chance to mentor primary school students from St Thomas Aquinas. The Ad Alta students put their applied learning skills to good use providing support and skills to assist the Primary students completing their woodwork project at the Gordon.

VET 2015 has been a great year for VET at St Joseph’s College.

The Joseph Innovation Trade Training Centre completed its first full cycle of course delivery and provided students with a hands on learning experience.

learnt in their VET courses to their work. The students showed a high level of maturity and work ethic whilst on their placements and this cemented the fact that St Joseph’s students are highly sought after by local employers when they finish their schooling.

Over 150 students completed VET on-site at St Joseph’s in 2015 in the areas of Building & Construction (Carpentry), Furniture Making, Electrotechnology and Sport & Recreation with another 50 students completing VET courses such as Agriculture, Horticulture, Hospitality and Information Technology across the Geelong region.

The students undertaking VET are extremely enthusiastic about their studies and can’t wipe the smiles from their faces every time they step foot into their classes. There is not a better feeling in the world than seeing students follow their dreams and career aspirations. It is both a pleasure and rewarding experience to coordinate such an amazing VET program. With state of the art facilities, St Joseph’s provides students with the best quality training and learning experiences. With strong numbers of students continuing to elect VET as part of their senior studies I am looking forward to 2016 and the years to come.

Jarrod Gore - VET Coordinator

The students produced some amazing work. In building & construction (carpentry), 2nd year students hand built cubby houses. The cubby houses were used as a final assessment piece to show that the boys were competent in units such as sub flooring, wall framing and power tools. The cubby houses were sold with a portion of the proceeds being delivered to local Geelong charity Give Where You Live. In Furniture Making students produced beautiful handcrafted desks and chairs as well as making their own toolboxes and hand tools.

Students also had the opportunity to attend excursions throughout the year. The VET Electrotechnology students visited the Newport Power Station and were amazed at the scale of the operation and amazing state of the art technology used to make power. VET Building & Construction along with Furniture Making students attended an excursion with the Master Builders Association of Victoria to various job sites in the Geelong region. The boys were able to see real life tradesman working, hear from industry representatives about career opportunities and explore options for further study after school. Although the boys had an amazing experience, the common feedback regarding the highlight of the day was the free BBQ lunch!

School based apprenticeship/ traineeship numbers continued to rise during the year with more and more students enquiring and obtaining positions. The students worked in a number of different fields ranging from plumbing and carpentry through to youth work and hairdressing. The students completing a school based apprenticeship/traineeship worked towards gaining a nationally recognised qualification whilst still attending school. Feedback from the employers hosting the students was very positive with one employer naming their school based trainee the employee of the month.

A number of students completed a structured work placement alongside of their VET course. The placement allowed the students to apply the skills and knowledge

ELECTROTECHNOLOGY It was fantastic to see the Joseph Technical Training Centre open at the end of 2013 providing our students with the opportunity to complete their VET Electrotechnology course at the Edmund Rice Campus. Two years later we now see the very first group of VET Electrotechnology students complete their Certificate II in Electrotechnology qualification and a new group commence at the beginning of this year. The students (including one from Sacred Heart) enjoyed the course, though finding it a little challenging at times, found it of great value in providing them with an insight in the electrical trade with a few of the students having already now commenced or seeking an electrical apprenticeship.

As a part of the course, the students went on an excursion to the Ecogen Energy Newport power station. They got to stand on top of the boiler plant where they generate the steam to drive the 510MW turbine that generates the electricity. A few had to overcome their fear of heights, but enjoyed the fantastic view they had looking out over Melbourne. Students also spent time learning how to wire 2nd year VET Electrotechnology up a variety of different lighting circuits as well as gaining an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of electricity.

Congratulations to the completing 2nd year group this year and good luck to the ongoing group for 2016.

Careers CAREER’S RESOURCE CENTRE OPENING

The Careers Resource Centre (CRC) was officially opened in November 2015. It is an exciting, generous and well resourced space where all students are able to access a variety of services and resources. Students are welcome to ‘drop in’ to the CRC before school, during recess and at lunchtimes. It is similar to a library where students may simply wish to investigate and explore the types of information available without necessarily needing to speak to CRC staff. During the day, students may access the CRC to attend appointments with CRC staff, to participate in group career’s guidance workshops, to attend career’s presentations, as well as participate in other careers based activities.

CAREERS BLOG – A GREAT PLACE TO FIND CAREER’S INFORMATION

The St Joseph’s Careers Blog is a great place for students and their families to access a range of resources and information about careers, the labour market, job preparation, work experience, higher education, resume writing, weekly careers newsletters, useful websites and much, much more. It can be easily found on the internet and regularly features in the top five search hits on Google, when the search term “Careers Blog” is used.The Careers Blog also features a Flag Counter which records page visits as well as which country the user is from. The Careers Blog has now been viewed over 30,000 times, by people from 99 countries!

CAREER’S WEEK

Career’s Week at the College aims to get students thinking about their future career pathways. During Career’s Week, Year 10 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 affect and influence the next steps in their career development. This year, students were able to attend two presentations from a range of career industry areas including: Police, CFA, Architecture, Accounting, Fitness, Building, Engineering and Business Management, Electrician, Graphic Design and Media, Defence Forces, Early Childhood Teaching, Nursing and Paramedicine, Music Production and Song Writing, Industrial Design and Information Technology.

WORK EXPERIENCE WEEK

The Work Experience week was held during the week of 04 – 08 May. The preparation for finding work placements begins in Year Nine, during Term Four. It is the responsibility of students to find their work placements, and for many, this is the first time that they will experience the world of work. This year, over 280 students from Year 10 descended upon workplaces in Geelong and the greater region, and further afield in Melbourne, New South Wales and South Australia.

Work places included the Geelong Magistrates Court, many primary and secondary schools, the Melbourne Football club, Surfing World Magazine, building and construction sites, the Melbourne Storm Rugby League Club, Victoria Police, graphic design and architectural firms, Channel Seven, racing stables, and many, many more…. Many parents and old Collegians continue to provide 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. To everyone who supported the Year 10 students with work experience placements, a big thank you.Your ongoing support provides the boys with a very important career development opportunity that will help them to make informed decisions about their futures.

Education Learning Support ‘’Fairness is not giving everyone the same thing, fairness is giving each person what they need to succeed.’’ - Anonymous In the fastest growing area of St Joseph’s, 91 students have been funded through the Catholic Education Office for learning support. As well as these funded boys some 200 fall just outside the funding criteria. Among them are our school leaders, sports champions, chess champions, actors, musicians, comedians, creative thinkers. From the youngest to the most senior, they contribute to make SJC a richer, more accepting place.

The Edmund Rice philosophy centres around inclusiveness and respect for all students, regardless of their background or ability or disability. The Education Support team, which includes some 20 education support officers and two specialist teachers, aims to foster a safe, supportive and respectful environment where each student can develop his potential and learn skills to take beyond school.

Education Support at St Joseph’s helps students through classroom intervention programs. We work with teachers to help each student to take his place within the school and broader community.

We aim to: • Offer support within the classroom and with work requirements.

• Use assessments to identify strengths and weaknesses and implement 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.

and our breakfast clubs offering literacy and numeracy support for Year 7s. Special thanks to Kerry Drever and Chrissie Rowland for their early starts to support Year 7 students and their Literacy.

In the coming year we are excited to launch a Certificate of Education for students across Years 10-12. The certificate aims to prepare students for life beyond school and future employment.

Our sincere thanks goes once again to the St Joseph’s College Josephines for their unfailing support of our area and interest in our programs. Funds from the Josephines have enabled us to purchase essential equipment for a young visually impaired student, educational board games and also support a number of families within our community.

And to our boys who graduate with the Class of 2015 we say thank you. We have many wonderful memories of your time at Joeys and wish you every success as you take your place in the world.

Mark Turner - Coordinator Education Support Services FROM THE BOYS ‘’What I enjoy about student support services is that if I am ever confused they are always there to back me.’’ Year 9s take up the challenge on camp ‘’Education Support is a place I can come with my in the Grampians friends and have fun.’’ ‘’Sometimes when things get crazy I can talk to an ESO and they help me see another way.’’ ‘’When everything gets too much, it’s a good place to come and chill out.’’

“ESOs have helped me achieve the best I can at SJC. They help me to keep on task at all times. If I have any problems, the ESOs sort it out.”

• Teach each student strategies to develop his independence.

Humanities Humanities in 2015 has offered some challenging and exciting opportunities for students to explore History, Geography and Civics and Commerce subjects. St Joseph’s Westcourt Campus held its second ANZAC Commemoration Day on Wednesday 22 April 2015.

This provided students with an excellent opportunity to understand the importance of Commemoration of World War and conflict.

The day was highly successful and culminated in being the Victorian winners of the ANZAC School’s Award Competition. There are photos and comments for you to enjoy below. Students at other year levels have been involved in camps, excursions and a range of exciting activities. There is a commentary below from a Year 8 student and also some information on our success at the Year 10 Geography Competition.

I hope you enjoy this snapshot of Humanities in 2015!

Michelle Bishop - Humanities Domain Leader ANZAC COMMEMORATION DAY – WESTCOURT CAMPUS Student Leaders were responsible for planning and delivering our ceremony. Students, staff, parents, war veterans and other community guests attended our ceremony. Displays in corridors of the school had a different war approach.

19 workshops were offered to the students. Each workshop had a specific learning goal. Staff and special guests were responsible for the delivery of the workshops.

All students witnessed the performance of a play in the afternoon. 5 students from both schools met numerous times before the day to identify with their character and rehearse.

Premiers Spirit of Anzac Prize winner. Isaac Travers Hucker prepared a reflection and PowerPoint for the rest of the student body about his experience. He was the winner of the 2014 prize.

YEAR 8 HUMANITIES ANZAC Displays at Westcourt

In Term 3 this year, my Year 8 Humanities class (taught by Mrs Stewart) looked at Geelong and ways that we could improve the community; through sustainability and initiative. I really enjoyed this unit as it was a way to learn a lot more about my home town and what the future might look like.

While I was in France last year, I was lucky enough to travel on one of their electro-

magnetic ‘bullet trains.’ These trains cruise at a speed of 350km/h, 3 times the speed of the Geelong to Melbourne train! But that’s not all. On the three hour journey I took, the expected time of arrival was 11:53. And sure enough, at exactly 11:53, our train pulled into the station.

My suggestion for Geelong is to replace our slow system with an incredible electro-magnetic ‘bullet train.’

Not only are these trains unbelievably fast and reliable.

They also produce very little pollution, are extremely quiet, cost very little to maintain and are very durable.

Although these trains cost a lot compared to normal trains, the low maintenance cost means that eventually the money would be earned back, as we’d be keeping these trains for a long time.

Charlie Roache - Year 8 Humanities YEAR 10 GEOGRAPHY COMPETITION Geography students fromYear 10 tested their geographical skills and knowledge against students from all around Australia in the 2015 Australian Geography Competition.

We had a number of students who performed to a very high level in the Competition this year with Joshua Czerkiewicz and Connor Morrison both gaining high distinctions, Callum Schenk a distinction and Peter Watkins and William Rowe credits.

“Over 76,000 students from 770 schools across Australia entered the Australian Geography Competition so the results give us an external benchmark as to how our students are going in certain aspects of geography.”

Bernard Fitzpatrick, a geographer and the competition’s national coordinator, said “The competition played a role in promoting geography to students and the wider school community.”

“Geography is an important subject which develops a student’s understanding of the spatial and temporal relationships of people and place. It helps students appreciate the complex nature of local, regional and global social, economic, and environmental interactions,” said Mr Fitzpatrick.

The Competition is a joint initiative of the Australian Geography Teachers’ Association and the Royal Geographical Society of Queensland.

YEAR 8 PURSUASIVE PIECES

Big Bad Banned Games!

To the editor, The Community of St Joseph’s College has been divided for a long time now on the issue of students downloading games to their laptops. It is my personal belief along with many others that students should not be allowed to have downloaded games to their laptops.

If games were allowed on the school laptop then I strongly believe that students (including myself) would find the temptation of games on our laptops too hard to resist. I know from personal experience, that students tend to play games on the internet during class time.

The St Joseph’s I.T department does it’s best to block games from the internet but they have no control over games downloaded at home from the internet or off the games store. To elaborate, I would also like to say that games can have a negative effect on our learning. There is scientific evidence that games make us tire easily and can cause us to disengage from the real world. If students are allowed to play games downloaded and filled with viruses, it will have a negative effect on our education. For this reason I would encourage schools to continue, or start a NO GAMES POLICY. Secondly some games chosen could possibly be violent or inappropriate.This is not on! The school computer should be used for school purposes and school purposes only. Studies have shown that violent games encourage violence. Why would a Catholic school run the risk of producing violent adults? To extend my point some parents will have banned these games at home not knowing their children are playing these games on their school computer. Parents need to know what their son/daughter is playing on their school computer. All of this could happen if games are allowed on schools computer.

Whilst some people may argue that games are a useful learning tool all the time. I do not believe that they fully understand what we are discussing. The games that do advance our learning like Hot maths, Language Perfect etc. are unblocked and ready for use. But the downloaded games do harm our learning. They distract us and stop us from achieving our full potential. The UN Youth Evatt Competition people that argue we should for public speaking allow games on our laptop don’t really know what they are talking about.

I would like to conclude by saying that students should accept St Joseph’s policy on banning games and all schools should continue to ban downloading games. Games are banned for a reason, they harm our learning. When your parents are paying for your schooling we must take this opportunity for learning.

William Ryan, Newtown, Victoria SAFER CYCLISTS ON OUR STREETS Currently there is much debate concerning the issue of whether or not bike paths should be built in and around Geelong.

73

English The aim of this would be to lower the risk of cyclists getting hit by cars. We as citizens of Geelong should band together to make our roads safer.

Firstly, cyclists are not safe on our roads with over 1000 people getting hit every year in Australia and that’s only what has been reported to the police. Do you really want your family on the roads?

If the Council made a decision to build more bike paths in Geelong, the number of deaths and injuries would be reduced dramatically. I remember when I was young, a driver accidently bumped the back of a cyclist’s bike and the cyclist came off his bike and managed to land, luckily off the road out of the way of more danger. He was lucky to only come away with minor cuts and bruises. All it takes is for people to stand up and come together as a community to make a change.

Secondly, if we took cyclists off our foot paths it would make pedestrians much safer, although very few people are killed a large number of people are injured sometimes even to the extent of hospitalisation. For example, in the Sydney Morning Herald a women named Emily Greenwood was hit and seriously injured by a cyclist. All we need is for cyclists to have separate paths for themselves and that will make everything safer for everyone.The footpaths should be only for pedestrians. What would happen if a cyclist hit an elderly person or someone with a pram? The risk of death is much higher and without cyclists on our foot paths there is no chance of that happening.

Finally I can understand why the Council is reluctant to build bike paths in Geelong because that would be rather expensive, but if you think about it this way it is cheaper in the long run.

Without cyclists on our roads and foot paths there is a much lower chance of someone getting injured and that means less hospital bills. Hospital bills are never cheap for example a simple fracture in the wrist or forearm can cost at the least $2500.

In conclusion the Geelong Council must consider building bike paths for cyclists. Not only will it they be safer, but so will drivers, pedestrians and other road users. Do we as citizens of Geelong really want to risk our lives on our roads?

Frustrated, Geelong, VIC Thomas Chapple YEAR 10 ENGLISH REFLECTIONS When studying the film text ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ I developed my skills to incorporate camera angles into my writing as a source of evidence.

– Andrew McCorkell Throughout the ‘Maus’ and ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ comparative study, I learned that Author Oliver Phommavanh speaking themes such as about his writing adventures and power, prejudice experiences and courage can be explored in vastly different situations and characters.

– Jacob Talbot Tips I have for students studying Year 10 English next year are, to read both of the texts in Semester 2 and 74

to remember quotes. – Harrison Ling When studying the film text ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ I developed an awareness of all the film techniques used by directors to influence a scene and emotions of the viewers. Also, how much thought goes into the camera angle, lighting, prop and settings of the films we view. – Aedan Green Throughout the ‘Maus’ and ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ comparative study, I developed an understanding of prejudice and how it is presented in society. I also gained an insight into the life of a Jewish man during the Holocaust and the horrors that many Jews were subjected to by Nazi Germany. – Daniel Huynh I have focused on my writing skills in Year 10 English by making sure I read both novels so I had a complete knowledge of the texts so that I was able to have accurate evidence and information. – Connor Bennett Throughout the ‘Maus’ and ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ comparative study, I learned that we take kindness and care for granted, and that prejudice is such a major thing in history and still exists today. – Matthew Romano Tips I have for students studying in Year 10 English next year are, to study hard because you will be rewarded.

– Matthew Bolger When studying the film text ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ I developed a good understanding of film techniques and essay adaptations. – Maxwell Cook Throughout the ‘Maus’ and ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ comparative study, I was taught that courage, injustice and power are all a part of everyday life. I also learned how to structure comparative pieces. – Lucas Pante Tips I have for students studying Year 10 English next year are, to plan ahead and read the texts early when you have spare time. By doing this you will have a head start into the semester and a head start over others in the year level. – Mitch Lay OLIVER PHOMMAVANH AUTHOR VISIT In April, Oliver Phommavanh the author of the popular novel ‘Thai-riffic!’ visited the Year 7 students. Oliver shared stories of his family and childhood, and explained how these people inspired him and his writing. The boys learned about Oliver’s experiences as a published author, and gained insight into the processes involved in writing a novel. His energy and humour made for an interesting and educational day for the Year 7 boys.

Year 7 reflections on meeting Oliver: I really enjoyed the Oliver Phommavanh visit because he was entertaining and exciting. He was not just like a normal speaker because he got the audience involved by being funny and unpredictable. My favourite bit of the presentation was when he said that he wanted to be a dinosaur when he grew up. I really liked learning about Oliver’s culture in the book and in this presentation. – Matt Issell Having Oliver Phommavanh was a really good experience because we could meet the author of the book we just read in class. Oliver was very funny and had lots of good jokes and he uses lots of humour in the book. I learnt that good readers are good writers and that the first page in a book is the most important because that makes the reader want to keep reading.

– Liam Bindokas Oliver was great because he told us about his really fun and wacky childhood. I learned that when you’re writing a book you have to do a lot of drafts, changes, reading over before you can fully publish a book. I now know that you have to take your time to get a good idea to start off any piece of writing and that you have to use as many strong, persuasive and descriptive words as you can.Thank you Oliver for coming to speak to the Year 7s!

– Ethan Kiebert

Arts The Visual Art students have had a busy and productive 2015. Exploring and creating in both areas of 3D and 2D art, visual communication design and media, while working through the design process to produce outstanding, creative works.

Along with developing their creative skills in the classroom, the students studying visual arts units have been involved in excursions to galleries and public art spaces, taken part in the ACC Art Exhibition at the Abbotsford convent in Melbourne, the VCE Art and Technology Exhibition, the inaugural FIFTEEN WORDS Film Festival and the Annual Arts Assembly which all showcased the talents and creativity of our students.

Thank you should also be extended the following visual arts teachers, Leanne Adams, Simon Cahir, Sarah Goring, Lauren Hall, Helen Kean, Amy Ross, John Schlank, Anne Thomas and our Art Technician Laura Martin for their hard work and professionalism.

The level of skill can be seen to some extent in the following pages of our school magazine.

Rebecca Spark & Anne Condon Arts Domain Leaders UNITS 3&4 STUDIO ARTS The skills developed in year 11 studios arts continued in year 12 Units 3 & 4 where we were given the opportunity to select and study a theme and medium of our choice.

Unit 3 was an adventure where we could research our theme in depth and experiment with technique. For me this involved researching a range of people who became inspiration for my artworks. The medium I chose for my artworks was oil paints, a material that I had little experience with, but I was amazed from the outcome in such little time. As we planned and developed our ideas we carried them on to Unit 4. Unit 4 required us to select our potential directions developed in Unit 3, and refine

them into cohesive artworks. During this process, we visited ‘The Geelong Gallery’ and ‘Boom Gallery’ to become educated on how our public and commercial galleries present, curate, and conserve art.

Year 12 Studio arts was a great experience as it took me on a journey which no other class could. I highly recommend studio arts to any student who enjoys art, as it allows you to create great artwork you never thought you could.

Antoine Saleh UNITS 1&2 STUDIO ARTS If there was one subject that I always looked forward to, it was Studio Arts. Studio Arts is a subject I had chosen without hesitation and haven’t regretted it one bit. The year has consisted of a couple of excursions and many units, including a painting, drawing, lino print & etching, photography, free choice piece and an appropriation sculpture piece. The units were broken down into various brainstorming and preparation before we actually had our chance to create our artworks. We learn to plan, prepare and present our ideas in a creative and open-minded approach, plus it was very exciting to see the outcomes of yours and your friends!

Nathan Clark YEAR 10 2D ART This semester in 2D art we were lucky enough to use a diverse range of tools and materials to create artworks that not only reached the required criteria, but students were able to express their personal life onto a canvas through a paint brush. For the first 6 weeks of term 3, students put pencil to paper as imaginations flourished in the creation of a surreal themed piece. This was outlined and perfectly executed before handing in our finals to be marked. After 2 weeks of holidays my peers were ambitious to don the art smock and start our second topic of ‘Abstract Expressionism’. With students able to express their inner Willem de Thomas Howden Kooning or Jackson Pollock, paint was flicked, - Year 7

Arts dabbed and smothered onto a blank canvas (some students painting themselves more so than their page). After many theory tasks and repetitive annotations, stacking chairs up at 3 o’clock on a Thursday afternoon had a feeling of mutual disappointment as saddened faces filled the classroom. Nevertheless, 2D Art will remain a memorable period of our weekly timetables.

Harry Bateman In Media we have completed several assessment projects with video production, video editing, video analysing and other tasks that needed which were part of our assessment.

We began by having a look about at what media was, how much media we use and how it influences us now and in the future.

We also looked at movie production skills such as different camera angles and many other aspects before making our own action films.

It was fun and we were always looking forward to the next task at hand.

Michael La Spada & Oscar Helmore YEAR 7 ART AND DESIGN In year 7 art we look at three topics, art, visual communication design and media. In art we started off by looking at observational drawing and drawing from perspective. We then moved on to learning about the colour wheel and the different types of colours. In the final part of our art topic we learnt about clay techniques and designed and made clay monsters. In the first part of our visual communication design topic we did perspective drawing. Secondly we made a comic book cover of choice and finally we learnt all the basics about Photoshop and then constructed fruit drink Oliver Giles - Year 7 logos. Our last topic media started with us

Ben Raimondo Introduction to Studio Arts

learning about different genres in movies. After learning this we went on to make our own DVD covers. Over all Year 7 art is full of fun and new experiences.

Nathan Colla YEAR 8 DRAWING & DESIGN – VISUAL COMMUNICATION During Year 8 Visual Communication provided a series of different tasks that enabled us to create what you wanted with a guideline. Tasks that have been completed by the Year 8s are things such as Elements and Principles, typeface which is a task that is constructed with only letters, punctuation and numbers.We also completed a children’s front and back cover book with a storyline, blurb, drafts, mind map, brainstorm and more. I would be fair to say that everyone now does Visual Communication is trying their hardest and or really enjoy the experience.

Connor Fopiani & Salvatore Cilmi UNITS 1&2 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN This year in Units 1&2 Visual communication Design, we were faced with gaining new skills in our perspective, observational, typography and technical drawing skills that have contributed to this year’s final task. In order to become successful in our designing future, folio development, research and annotation have all been major components in our studies. An added

Arts The final part of the café design was to create a menu and menu stand which required us to use different materials to create the stand such as timber and acrylic and then use Photoshop to create the menu with the theme of our café evident in the design.

Matthew Keast - Year 8

I really enjoyed this subject because we got to make our own cafés or restaurants from scratch.

Joseph Mc Donald - Year 10 benefit this year was the ability to travel to the 2015 top designs exhibition that showcased all of the top student’s work from last year’s course. All of the detail, hard work and planning reflected in some of these folios seen, was a big heads up for what we are expected to accomplish next year. This year’s class has been without doubt the most beneficial and enjoyable due to our two very experienced teachers (Mr Cahir and Mrs Kean) directing us at the college, as well as the assignments we have had to complete during this year.

Chad Suphamongkol - Year 11 YEAR 10 FOLIO PRESENTATION This year in Year 10 Folio Presentation we started off by making a logo of our initials which involved using many different sketching and Photoshop skills.We then started with our café designs and we kicked them off with some research looking into floorplans, the interior and the exteriors of cafés and restaurants. After our research we looked into designing our own floor plans which took a lot of drawing and refinement skills. And then finally we moved on to making our café models which required a lot of concentration, cutting and building skills.

YEAR 8 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN During year 8 Visual Communication Design this semester students took part in a wide range of activities like creating bus shelters and creating creative advertisements.

When creating bus shelters we had to keep to a brief outlining the certain features that our bus shelters had to have. We also had to do a lot of planning such as visualisation sketches, orthogonal drawings and isometric drawings. Whilst taking part in these tasks we learned a lot of skills such as the design elements and principles, model making and various Photoshop skills.

I enjoyed this subject because we were able to take part in a lot of interesting and engaging activities whilst having fun.

Will McFarlane - Year 8 KICK START CHALLENGE I was asked to write a brief report on the Challenge art subject that I had undertaken this year.The arts unit that I chose to do for this year was Kick StArt. In Kick StArt we did all kinds of different art projects varying in different art

Arts mediums from Spray Paint to Oil Paint and Pencil to Ink. One such project that we had the choice of doing was a spray painted mural that was so much fun and interesting to learn how to do. From being involved in this subject I feel that I have developed almost a whole new set of skills and built heavily on the ones I already knew. Overall Kick StArt was an amazing subject and probably one of my favourites for this year.

Matthew Walters – 9A YEAR 9 INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHY In Year 9 Photography we undertook a variety of tasks such as analysing different types of artworks and photographs taken by famous artists/photographers and planning and taking our own photos to fit the brief we are given. Some of the skills developed through this subject are; talking about and using the art elements and principles, compositional techniques, art movements and how to analyse artworks. We also learned how to edit and enhance photos using Photoshop. The best part about this subject is that it is really hands-on and we are able to use our imagination to create many different types of photographs.

BRAND NEW UNLIMITED CHALLENGE In Brand New Unlimited the challenge we undertook was to use the design process to create our own clothing brand and t-shirt design. Another challenge, for the class as a group, was to design and print a Westcourt tea towel to be given out to visitors at the end of semester Expo.

During the Westcourt Expo visitors made a gold coin donation in appreciation for the tea towel. As a result our group raised over $130 and purchased reading glasses for the Mannya community in Uganda.

The knowledge and skills that I have developed in this class are; an understanding of the design Lleyton Wooley - Year 9

process, the use of Adobe Illustrator to design a logo, how to make a silk screen for printing and how to print on a t-shirt.

The part of the challenge I most enjoyed was designing the logo for my own brand.

Sam Barling – Year 9I YEAR 12 VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN What a year it has been. The Year 12 students arrived fresh enthusiastic and excited. As always it was a very crammed busy creative and sometimes stressful year. I must admit I had been looking forward to this particular cohort as I had taught them all previously over the past 4 years and witnessed a unique and emerging talent that I hoped would prove to be a great year. I wasn’t disappointed.

Mind you there were along the journey lapses in time management skills that almost cost them grades and me some of the last remaining hair follicles I have left to me.

There were heart aches and headaches.

I believe the proof of the year’s work is not in the ATAR score but is on their Exhibition Night. I was immensely proud of their efforts, creativity and determination to complete such wonderful and professional solutions to their design briefs.

Well done Team 2015 As to the other year levels, the student’s words and experiences say it all. I wait expectantly for their chance to shine on their Exhibition Night. Keep working hard boys.

A special thanks goes to Laura Martin who is behind the scenes everywhere. She makes the wheel turn smoothly in every way. Her help on the Exhibition night is Lachlan Grant - Year 11 Visual Communication Design

Christopher Gulle - Year 11 Year 9 Kick StArt ANZAC Mural

Arts invaluable, her thoughtfulness and help in the storeroom and help organising supplies is marvellous.

Thanks also to all the teachers who teach from years 7 to 12 we are all part of a team which helps the boys reach their potential.

Ben Raimondo Year 10 Media

Simon Cahir MEDIA The film, TV, radio and print stars of the future have been honing their skills in Media this year. From our energetic Year 8’s creating action films to our dedicated VCE students crafting their media productions, media continues to deliver a hands-on, collaborative and engaging learning experience for students.

With new media technologies becoming increasingly important in young people’s lives, Media allows our boys to learn and create a range of products such as short films, magazines, video games, documentaries, news bulletins and radio podcasts. Some highlights from our Year 12’s this year have been Patrick West’s Hitchcock inspired short film, ‘Mail’ and Brayden Thompson’s documentary on Zaine Cordy, ‘Father-Son’.

2015 marks the beginning of what we hope will become an exciting annual event, the FIFTEEN WORDS FILM FESTIVAL. With entries from all year levels as well as from Sacred Heart College, the event has inspired students to pick up a camera and create fun, quirky, visually beautiful and engaging short films.

Industry. We have studied in detail the importance and unique qualities of the Australian Media Industry, and how it is essential to our culture that it continues to grow. Towards the end of the year we travelled to the Channel 10 studios and a community radio station in Melbourne, which gave us a real life insight to how all roles in television and radio come together to appeal to a wide audience. The trip was arguably the highlight of the year.

Finally we combined our production knowledge to make a short film with the help of our teachers, Ms Hall and Miss Goring, who saw that we all had a role in the production.

LOTE 2015 has been an exciting and busy year for both staff and students.

Students at the main campus and Westcourt have had many diverse learning opportunities offered by the faculty.

Students had the opportunity to grow and develop their appreciation of both cultures and languages through not only class work but also excursions and incursions run by both language departments. 2015 was the first time that both Year 10 Italian and Chinese students participated in the yearly LOTE camp with Sacred Heart College.

Students spent 2 days practising their oral, aural, reading and writing skills of the language they study. For a second year in a row Year 10 Italian students participated in a language incursion day with St Ignatius College where cultural and language based activities were completed.

LOTE students at Westcourt were also very busy. This year the ‘Italian Immersion Experience’ was introduced in year 9, students had the opportunity to participate in both cultural and language based activities both in Geelong and Melbourne over the course of three consecutive days in term 4. Some of the activities students completed included visiting two primary schools in Geelong - Christ the King and St Thomas Aquinas, students assisted the teacher and organised and ran activities for the students, they visited the COASIT Immigration museum in Carlton, Chinese and attended a language class at CIS (Centre of Italian conversation Studies) where students focused on developing lounge their aural and oral skills in Italian. Students also participated in a soccer training class run in Italian and a ‘foodie tour’ of Lygon Street.The program was a success and will be run in 2016.

A group of sixteen Year 9 Chinese students had the opportunity to once again partake in ‘The Young Leaders to China Program’, an intensive 6 week language course completed in China during semester one. Students spent 3 weeks at a school in Nanjing as well as three weeks travelling around China. This group of students has returned to Westcourt motivated and enthusiastic to continue with their language Chinese conversation lounge studies in Year 9 and beyond.

At the end of this year a group of 22 students (in Years 10 and 11) from St Joseph’s College and Sacred Heart College will be heading to Italy to complete a three week cultural and language immersion. Students will spend one week at an Italian school in Milan attending and participating in classes and

Year 9 Italian ‘science class’

Year 8 students participating in a Chinese “Lion Dance” workshop 82

2 weeks of travelling around Italy visiting cities such as Venice, Florence, Rome and Pompeii to name a few.

The study tour of Italy is run every two years, current Year 8 and 9 students of Italian that continue with their language studies in 2017 will have the opportunity to take part in the next trip.

Finally I would like to thank my colleagues of the LOTE Faculty for your continued hard work and support.

Caterina Giacomazzo – LOTE Coordinator CHINESE CONVERSATION LOUNGE The Chinese Conversation Lounge takes place at Deakin University (Waterfront Campus) every Wednesday afternoon during the school term from 4pm – 5pm.

The classes are run by Chinese International students attending Deakin. The Chinese Conversation Lounge is offered to all year 9-12 Chinese students that want to improve fluency and confidence. It is an invaluable opportunity for students and we hope to see the number of students taking advantage of the program grow in 2016. A big thank-you to Ms Carmel Moloney for coordinating and organising the program and Deakin student Zhe Geng for her assistance to Carmel, it is very much appreciated. Below are some comments from students that have attended the Chinese Conversation Lounge in 2015: The Chinese Conversation lounge was a great opportunity for me to practise my Chinese with native speakers. I found it a great benefit and formed a good relationship with the Chinese International students.

Travelling to Deakin from school proved to be very easy, the bus left us walking distance from the Lounge. Each week we had a topic that we would prepare and then talk about in the class. Topics varied from what we did during the holidays to what music we enjoy and play. I encourage all students studying Chinese to come along to the sessions next year.

Daniel Corray - Year 9 Every Wednesday from 4.00 to 5.00 o’clock boys from St. Joseph’s gather at the Deakin Waterfront Campus to take part in the Chinese Conversation Lounge. These sessions involve talking to Deakin students who are native Chinese speakers about a set topic, the topics can be anything from what you did on the holidays to what your favourite movie is. These topics appear in the school bulletin every Monday to help you prepare and come along armed to chat. The sessions really help build

confidence in speaking and understanding Chinese.

Learning new words for the topic each week has improved my vocabulary. I would recommend it to anyone that studies Chinese at SJC”.

Finbar Kinna - Year 10 The Chinese conversation lounge classes held at Deakin University, waterfront, arose from the question; “how can students improve their conversational Chinese?” The solution was gathering Chinese students of year 8 and upwards and getting them in the same room and talking with nativespeaking Chinese students currently studying at Deakin. Each week everyone gathers to discuss a variety of topics, even going so far as to play Cluedo in Chinese which made for some good fun. These classes were particularly good for giving students the extra time and experience in speaking Chinese that solidifies what we learn during school. These classes also give students the opportunity for casual questions concerning Chinese culture and lifestyles.

Matthew Graham - Year 11 VICTORIAN YOUNG LEADERS TO CHINA The VYLC (Victorian Young Leaders to China) group for this year included 16 selected representatives from St Joseph’s Year 9. The boys spent 6 weeks participating in the program. In the first two weeks of their program, they spent time in Beijing, staying at the Beijing Foreign Studies University, and then in Xian, staying at the Shaanxi Normal University.

In these early weeks of their experience, the boys intermittently studied Chinese culture and language, and spent much of their time visiting historical and cultural sites and relics. These included: The Great

Wall,The Forbidden City,The Summer Palace,Tiananmen Square and The Terracotta Warriors.

Following these first two weeks, the boys moved to Nanjing, where they stayed and studied at Nanjing #1 Middle School. Nanjing #1 School is a large and prestigious school in the Jiangsu province of China. The school has its own Planetarium and many other educationally advanced resources such as an interactive Geography room. Nanjing #1 is spread over three campuses and has a total student population of 6000. Each morning, our SJC boys spent three hours learning and developing their use of Chinese language in classes dedicated to reading, writing, listening and speaking. Each afternoon is spent involving themselves in some sort of Cultural Activity such as paper cutting, kung fu, tai chi, Chinese ICT animation, paper folding, dumpling making, bamboo dancing, and so on. Classes for the boys start at 8.15am and the day’s activities conclude around 5pm. Each evening, boys are spending one to two hours in meetings, supervised study or project work. On weekends, students went with Chinese ‘buddies’ to their homes and for family events.

The VYLC program is proving to be a wonderful experience and opportunity for our boys. The boys will return to SJC, not only improved in their execution of Chinese language, but also in their developed levels of maturity and leadership.

Music 2015 has again been a very rewarding year for Music at St Joseph’s College. In classroom music we now have classes operating at each year level from Year 7 to 12. The New Zealand Tour and the performances of our Bands stand out as highlights. 59 Boys, 13 staff and parents undertook a 12 day tour of Wellington and parts of the South Island of New Zealand from March 24 until April 4 this year. The essential nature of the tour was to experience the unique balance that a Music Tour can provide; musical opportunities to expand individual and ensemble skills, experiencing aspects of a different country and culture, and perhaps the most important aspect which is bonding as a group of young men to work, live and perform positively and constructively and to make the best of all possible situations that they encounter.

We were fortunate in having an excellent group of parents and supporters who added so much to the tour.

In musical terms, being able to sit in on a New Zealand Symphony Orchestra rehearsal was a highlight. A visit to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa enabled the boys to experience a small snippet of New Zealand history and culture. The Weta workshops (from Lord of The Rings & Hobbit movies) provided an excellent insight into the wonders of movie special effects. A workshop was held the next day with Wellington College. A smooth Cook Strait ferry crossing was an added bonus as we began our South Island journey. A dip in the hot pools at Hanmer Springs was a welcome reward after a long travel day. A 4.4 earthquake was experienced by mainly staff later that night. Most of the boys were disappointed to have slept through the event.

At Fox Glacier the next day we experienced our only wet day as we tramped up to the face of the glacier and then completed the bushwalk around picturesque Lake Matheson. This was a brief taste of New Zealand’s outdoors.

In Queenstown we performed a concert for St Joseph’s Primary School. The remaining time in Queenstown was spent on tourist attractions, with the standout being the cable car and luge at the top of Ben Lomond which was enjoyed by all. Christchurch saw us working with two schools; Christchurch Boys’ High School and St Thomas of Canterbury. St Thomas’ is a brother Edmund Rice School. We received a very warm welcome from staff and students there and I know that our boys enjoyed performing for them. A visit to the International Antarctic Centre and evening workshops from Luke Di Somma and Mark Walton were also highlights of our time in Christchurch. The boys were able to see much evidence of the damage done by the Christchurch earthquakes.The tour provided a great impetus for all our music groups.

Later in the year the Senior Band received a Platinum Award and the Intermediate Band a Gold Award in their sections at the Victorian School Music Festival in Melbourne. The Stage Band came third in a very high quality section in The Royal South Street Eisteddfod in Ballarat. Since the NZ tour the Vocal Ensemble under the guidance of Tania Spence has continued to grow. This ensemble is a significant part of the College’s Masses and formal occasions and we are most appreciative of the boys’ commitment. A new ensemble Drumline began this year under the leadership of one of our percussion teachers, Mr John Seal. The boys will have made their first public appearance at Costa Hall during the Awards Night and Music Showcase in late November.

As you will see by the diary of events, the year has been a full and rewarding one. My thanks to the music staff and instrumental and vocal teachers for their continued willingness to give of their time and expertise for our boys.

Drama Production 2015 “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” was presented

by Clonard College.

Directed by Janine McKenzie, Choreography

by Jess Nash and Musical Direction by Alistair Cox The strange wintry land, of Narnia, with its drifts of snow and population of strange and wondrous creatures, as well as some curious English children; was artfully presented in August at GPAC. Several St Joseph’s College students were involved in the production. Boys from Year 7 right through to Year 12 performed on stage or added musically by their presence in the pit.

Congratulations to the following boys for a great contribution to a worthwhile project: Matthew Boardman - Railway Porter, Ashley Thompson Peter Pevensie ,Henry Stephensen - Edmund Pevensie, Jack Bourke - Professor Kirk, Colten Dunn - Mr Tumnus, Ryan Tracey - Beaver, Karl Senftleben - Aslan, Jordan Fama Giant Rumblebuffin, Darcy Barker - King Peter, Connor Gallagher - King Edmund. With Joel Lewis, Dylan Barnes, Marius Hurley –Paul and Harry Scanlon in the Ensemble.

Patrick Carroll was delighted to play in the pit for a change and Patrick Considene and William Conway did a great job in there with him.

The battle scene complete with clanging metal swords was an epic theatre moment never to be forgotten.

Perhaps on a less epic note it could be mentioned that on the Friday evening performance some staff also took their place on stage. Mr Paul Tobias as a wise and kind Father Christmas, John Stephensen as the Older Prince Edmund was actually playing his son’s character as an older man and Janine McLean played Princess Susan.

Thank you to all those involved at Clonard for inviting us all, to be part of your production this year.

ACC DRAMA DAY This year twenty Year 8 students had the opportunity to The SJC Unicycle Club

go to Parade College for a day of Workshops with other boys from the other all boy Catholic Colleges.These workshops included: Circus skills, Commedia Dell- arte, Improvisation skills, Acting for Camera and How to prepare Characters. It was a very enjoyable day with experts in their field leading the boys through new and interesting experiences that help in building their knowledge of the performing arts.

TAKE OVER AT GPAC Year 10 Improvisation accepted the challenge this year of working with Kelly Clifford at the Geelong Performing Arts Centre on the Take Over Program. This project invites students to create a performance and then present it in the theatre. Part of this work is learning the technical side of Osbourne production and so we had student Stage Manager Bowen Jacques, Sound Operator Alexander and Lighting operator Zachary Rushbrook. The theme for all the schools who take part in the project this year was FOMO or Fear of missing out. We created a play loosely based on Alice in Wonderland. Our Ellis played by Benjamin Semmler found himself unexpectedly down a black hole with no network coverage which really challenged his world of digital connection. The experience allowed Ellis to meet some unusual characters, like Thomas Bourke’s wise Caterpillar, Matthew Ghinn’s White Rabbit and Christopher Bogacki’s Mad Hatter, that all helped him think about the value of technology and how to best use it. We called the performance # e_llis @1D LND. It was an exciting and stimulating project for everyone involved.

The same group of Boys also saw a professional group perform in the same theatre the play I Call My Brothers. This allowed them the chance to experience what a piece of modern theatre story Performing at the telling looks like from an audiences point of view. Paul Tobias Centre opening THE INAUGURAL UNICYCLE CLUB Two lunchtimes a week Granger and Sam have been teaching other interested Year 7 students the art of unicycle riding. The progress of the boys has been fantastic under the very skilled tutelage of Granger Woolley and Samuel Ballan. Congratulations on such a solid commitment.

Science Science at SJC provided many exciting and significant events and opportunities in 2015. These events not only brought the scientific community together but also provided the opportunity to expand the communication that exists between teacher and student. A Science club was started during Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes to help students with scientific concepts, allow access to resources and help with homework. A group of volunteer students also joined forces to become a Science Enrichment group and complete electrical circuit challenges during lunchtimes. Examples of opportunities that arose included the Science and Engineering Challenge, Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) Titration challenge, Engineering students@work, National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) and of course the big event National Science Week. All of the events and opportunities promoted and encouraged interest in the areas of science, engineering, technology and innovation.

They demonstrate how science is interesting, challenging, important and of direct relevance to our daily lives, the well-being of society and the environmentally sustainable growth of our economy.

The first opportunity was on 23 April when we were represented by 24 Year 10 students at the Science and Engineering Challenge held by the University of Newcastle at Deakin University Waurn Ponds. The students were pitted against other schools in exciting and competitive challenges. The challenges ranged from creating a bionic hand, to building a strong bridge to withstand the most carrying capacity, to constructing a Mars Rover to quickly transverse an undulating surface.

Our students really quite enjoyed the day and finished 4th overall. The team whom built the bridge earned the highest number of points of all the bridges and withstood the super ingot challenge.

Titration challenge

Deakin University Waurn Ponds also held a new challenge that we signed up for called ‘Engineering students@work’. This was a program for six students in Year 10 held from 17 - 21 August.

Students who participated were: Ben Arcoraci, Charles Breen, Liam Keogh, Finbar Kinna,William Pile and Thomas Veitch.

The program involved providing the students with a set task or problem in the area of Humanitarian Social Justice. The students worked with Engineering lecturers and final year students, Deakin’s new machines and facilities to develop solutions and prototypes to offer ‘realworld’ solutions.

At the end of this hands-on week they submitted reports and presented their findings to CADET staff at Deakin University, Deakin staff, SJC staff and their parents.

In addition two of our current Year 11 students Benjamin Kenworthy and Matthew Oyang have been accepted to attend the prestigious NYSF held in Canberra in January. This is a great credit to St Joseph’s College. As successful applicants in selection, Benjamin and Matthew will attend a unique 12-day program that offers the opportunity to test drive careers in the fields of science, engineering and technology (STEM). They will see guest speakers, join forums, join debates and make many laboratory visits. Through this they will learn to make informed decisions about study and career options in STEM fields, and develop a professional skill-set to help them realise their potential.They will come away from the program enriched not only by the inspirational speakers and lab visits, but also by friendships that will continue into university and their future careers.

I would like to also take this opportunity to thank all of our dedicated team members for their diligent approach to promoting and running these activities and building our Science curriculum, as well as our students for their participation and continued enthusiasm. I look forward to an exciting and innovative 2016.

Samantha O’Keeffe - Science Domain Leader (RACI) TITRATION CHALLENGE Students again participated in teams in the Royal Australian Chemical Institute Titration race this year.

We had one team of Year 10 (Michael Bongiorno, Taz Parke and Isaac Travers-Hucker) and 2 teams of Year 11 students (Rhys Hegyesi, Patrick Zulumovski and David Motorniak; and Matthew Oyang, Alexander Fama and Joseph McMahon). They all worked really hard for two terms, giving up their lunchtimes, to practice and learn the concepts together.The students learnt specific chemical language such as mole, aliquot, titre, equivalence point, end point; and used specialist equipment such as bulb pippettes and burettes.

Michael, Taz and Issac finished 8th out of all Year 10 teams in the state! Patrick, David and Rhys finished

Science 4th out of all Year 11s in the state and placed 11th out of all 252 teams (this includes Year 12 teams) and were offered to compete in the national championships! This was an amazing effort, and all teams did very well.

Cassandra Gleeson & Joanne Board ENGINEERING STUDENTS@WORK; A FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE My team, Ben, Tom, Will, Finbar, Charles and Liam’s project was to create a humanitarian relief shelter that could replace a tent in an area that has been affected by a disaster. This tent had to: Fit 4 adults, be able to join up with other units (expandable), be flat-packed, durable for long periods of time and waterproof.

For the first day we introduced ourselves to the other participating schools, Sacred Heart College and Clonard College, and then we dived into brainstorming ideas for the humanitarian relief shelter.We decided on a pyramidbased structure that could be folded and that could join with other units. Jason from Deakin also gave us an extra tour.

On day 2, we started refining our design by using Google sketch-up and researched materials. We also researched construction methods in the library at Deakin and explored several buildings for educational reasons.

The next day we perfected our design by adding modifications, using preferable materials (Plywood and foam-core insulation) and completing our 3D design on Google sketch-up.We also constructed a scale cardboard model of the relief shelter design which demonstrated how the unit could join with other units, how it could be flat-packed, the joints of the structure and how the door opened. The team had a big debate on the base of the square-pyramid, which ended with the base being fully solid.

On day 4, we had an acrylic model of the relief shelter design laser-cut and set it up using adhesive tape. We prepared for our presentation, practicing our speeches and conducting ourselves.We also continued revising the model so that we knew precisely what we had created and that if asked a questions, we would know the answer.

Finally on day 5, we continued to practice what we were going to speak about. We also did a bit of exploring

within Deakin’s facilities. When three o’clock arrived we were a bit nervous however the team were well prepared. The parents filed in one by one and seated themselves while each team from the three schools involved waited nervously for their turn to present. Our team presented second, although some of us stammered a bit we pulled through, explaining the model well.

Ben Arcoraci - Year 10 NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK 2015 The National Science Week theme ‘Making waves: The science of light’ was celebrated at main campus on 20 August. All day there were classes and groups of students visiting the activities set up to explore. Presenter Carl Ahlers (Professor Bunsen) presented to a packed out auditorium made up of VCE Physics classes, some Westcourt and Year 10 classes. Professor Bunsen also presented a second show during an extended lunchtime to students who registered to see him. He demonstrated light as heat, light converted from sound and electricity and back to sound, as visible colours, fluorescence under UV, radio waves as Alternative and Direct current, infrared and solar panels.

Students also took a trip to a light exhibition of crystals, lasers, fiber optics, luminol, fluorescent rocks and mirages; and a laser room set up in some blacked Titration out classrooms. The exhibition included a free glow challenge wrist band or some washable fluorescent face paint.

Students also enjoyed a trip to a mirrors maze truck where they needed to find their way out. This was more challenging than many students first thought as there were fake screws and hinges where they tried to look for the exit. Many students on the outside in lines waiting enjoyed watching the cameras of students walking through attempting to find their way out.

The theme based on the International Year of Light, is also always embedded to encourage young people to continue science studies beyond the compulsory years of schooling and to pursue science-based careers. We look forward to the 2016 theme ‘Drones, droids and robots’.

Sustainability This year our student led action teams grew to include; website editors, an online data tracking assistant, Carbon Management (Certificate III) students and Year 9 “Planet Green” students. Through their commitment to taking action on climate change, we witnessed a more sustainable approach to our daily undertakings at our College and issues relating to sustainability become increasingly embedded into the curriculum across various domains.

Initiatives implemented this year included the development of a Sustainability website, production of the “SJC Recycling Initiatives” video, two new sustainable garden beds, “delamping” of light fittings in the staffroom, construction of an outdoor pizza oven from recycled timbers (Westcourt), development of a Sustainability policy, establishment of weekly “Cut the Wrap” days (Years 7 to 9) and online excel system for data collation, entering the Monster Climate Petition, utilisation of bokashi waste, participation in Clear Up Australia day, Switch Off Hour, “Adopt a Light Switch” campaign, REDcycling and Breadclip competitions. In addition, we continued to foster links with our community, assisting the “Friends of Waurn Ponds Creek” to plant 1900 native grasses and trees along the Waurn ponds creek over several occasions.

Our continued involvement in the ResourceSmart program saw the completion of the CORE module and the completion of the Energy and Waste modules.

We commenced the Water and Biodiversity modules and registered with the SWEP (School Water Efficiency Program), installing three data loggers across both campuses with the aim of improving water efficiency in the school. In addition, Carbon Management and Planet Green students assisted carbon manager Heidi Fog to conduct an energy audit at Westcourt, providing recommendations for further waste minimisation strategies.

The last of our recycling initiatives were implemented and now encompasses; Fully commingled recycling, recycling ‘soft plastics’ (Years 7 & 8), composting via worm farming and the Bokashi system and recycling of: polystyrene, woodwork off cuts, sawdust and shredded paper. Our efforts in this area were acknowledged by Sustainability Victoria and Joseph’s College was announced as the ResourceSmart Waste Secondary school of the year at the ResourceSmart Education awards.

DO MORE WITH LESS STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE Eight of our Sustainability Leaders combined forces with

nine schools from the region on 22 May, to participate in the Do More With Less Leadership Conference at Kardinia International College.

Students were involved in various hands-on activities related to energy reduction and hence, reducing their carbon footprint.

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY On 5 June staff and students alike conducted a “Switch Off “ hour Between 12pm and 1pm, across both campuses. During this time, sustainability leaders conducted an energy audit across various classrooms. Comparing energy consumption to the previous period, we saw a 17.5% reduction at Edmund Rice Campus and 8% reduction at Westcourt. A tremendous first effort, highlighting just how easy it is reduce our carbon footprint.

SUSTAINABILITY WEBSITE Sustainabilitysjc.weebly.com We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Sustainability SJC Website, which was established to provide greater accessibility to information regarding sustainability and practices being promoted by the school. I would like to thank our two Year 8 website editors: Thomas Anderson and Aidan Wong, for their tireless efforts. I would also like to thank the VCE ICT students for establishing the “Home page” template. In addition I would like to acknowledge and thank Nathan Clarke, Patrick Consedine, Lachlan Hill, Lucas Pante, Sam Quach, Sean Whelan and former student Charles Purdy for the use of their photography and artwork for the site.

TREE PLANTING EXCURSIONS On 28 July, 43 Year 11 Environmental Science students and Sustainability leaders from Year 7 to 11, joined forces with 105 Prep to Grade 2 Grovedale Primary students and founding members of the “Friends of Waurn Ponds Creek” community group, to plant native grasses along the embankment of the Waurn Ponds Creek, as part of the Planet Ark’s National Tree day. The exercise provided our students a wonderful opportunity to develop their leadership ResourceSmart skills as they assisted and mentored the Primary Awards students. Collectively the students planted over 1200 grasses in one hour - a fabulous outcome.

This followed the activities of National tree planting day 26 July 26 in which volunteer families assisted in the planting of 500 plants and subsequently Mr Peter Malone’s Planet Green joined the “Friends” to plant another 200 during Enviroweek on September 3.

Food Technology Food can take you places…without even leaving home! It’s your passport, to visiting new cultures and exciting cuisines from countries around the world.

Multi-culturalism was embraced here at St Joseph’s again this year, especially by Food Technology students who experienced both cooking and sampling many International dishes. Their culinary journey commenced in Year 7, with Asian inspired Stir Fries and Rice Paper Rolls along with European favourites, such as Greek Souvlaki and Italian pasta dishes.

Years 8, 9 and 10 students continued on their discovery of new ingredients and dishes, while developing greater culinary skills and confidence in the kitchen this year. Students were encouraged to sample continental dishes with their typical flavours, such as spicy curries and creamy sauces. VCE classes invited senior students in Years 11 and 12, to tackle more challenging dishes, with even more exotic ingredients at times, to broaden their experiences in Food Technology classes.

Congratulations to Year 12 student Gabriel Rule who was recognised for his impressive work outlined in his food folio,

which was displayed at this year’s Season of Excellence, Top Designs Exhibition. Gabriel’s folio was based on Street Foods and he developed a highly creative product in his delicious menu. Students from our Year 12 Food Technology class travelled to Melbourne, to view Gabriel’s folio and thoroughly enjoyed their visit.

The VCAL cooking club was introduced this year, with senior students kindly producing items for the SJC Care Group. Our Cooking Competitions at SJC continued to gain in popularity with the annual Inter-house Competition on the calendar again, plus the addition of the Cupcake Challenge for interested Year 7 students.

The area hosted programs, such as school holiday workshops and welcomed visiting groups of students during this busy school year.

I would like to thank our hard working Food Technology team, including Leanne Rivett, Suzanne Walsh, Karen Guerra, Nicole Lucas and Karen Sherman, with Ashlee Milne, Annalee McKew and Jo Rigoni and at our Westcourt campus, for all of their assistance throughout 2015.

Our team farewelled Julie McDonald after seven years at SJC and we would like to take this opportunity to thank Julie for her valuable contribution to the Food Technology Department, along with our best wishes to her for the future.

Product Design & Technology Here we are again at the end of another dynamic and lively year. This year once again proved to be a busy time for the Product Design & Technology (wood) department.

Students accessed the subject in greater numbers and this has seen the facilities both at the Edmund Rice Campus and Westcourt used to a high level. This steady increase in the student numbers required another teacher to assist in the area. Therefore, in 2015 Daniel Salmon was employed to join the St Joseph’s Wood Technology team to assist in this increasing demand.

He has been a great addition to the department and to the boys. I have observed him whilst conducting classes and must remark on his interaction with the boys, his humour, respect and professionalism do him credit.

The Year 12s have continued the practice of producing outstanding works and Steve Catanzariti has once more invigorated the boys to produce works of value and quality that secured personal reward.The boys produced tremendous works that were creative and individual in their production.

to access the unit. This is very encouraging for the subject area, indicating how much young men wish to get involved in subjects that are project driven.

The VET programs have been progressing extremely well under the support of Tom Trupkovic, Scott Ballan and Chris Gleeson. It’s been fantastic to watch the boys learn and become confident in their chosen areas of training. They will go into the work force well prepared to become excellent additions to our communities’ professional work force.

With the year of 2015 drawing to a close I would like to take the time to thank everyone involved in making this dynamic and demanding subject area function smoothly. Both teaching and support staff continue to do their utmost to make an enjoyable, appealing and safe area for the boys to work in. It’s a real privilege to work with good staff and students.

Paul Melis - Product Design & Technology (Wood) Coordinator

The pupils in the mid-school year levels have produced work that has challenged them both from a designing and manufacturing view point. It is always fascinating for the teaching staff to see the differing approaches that the boys take to solving a practical problem. Next year the Westcourt Challenge program will be doubling in numbers. This year clearly demonstrated that there was a real demand for the subject with so many boys unable

Systems & Information Technology Systems and Information Technology continue to thrive at St Joseph’s with many fantastic pieces of work produced by students from junior and senior school. Boys continued to enjoy subjects that ranging from Computer Aided Design where they designed and 3D printed their products to VCE Systems Engineering where students produced products that ranged from quad copters to pin ball machines.

Westcourt students participated in Enrichment subjects such as Game Design. Programming, automotive, robotics, electronics, 3D computer graphics and digital photography. Students continued to build skills that will have them well placed to thrive in a world full of technology.

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING Once again students have displayed their innovation and creative skills in producing some excellent work. I think most boys in the class would agree that the stand out project this year is Rhys Hegyesi’s “Fast and Furious” pinball machine. Rhys spent many hours during holidays, before and after school designing and constructing his impressive machine. Charles Francis was another student who displayed exceptional skills in producing his 3D printed Quad copter with a remote controlled gimbal for a “Gopro”, Charles was a very organised student who completed his project ahead of time, an achievement which any past systems engineering student will appreciate.

As always there were successes and designs that didn’t quite meet expectations but this is the real life experience of a designer / engineer and I hope that all students in the class this year have gained an appreciation of the amount of planning and organization needed to complete a successful project.

NCSS CODING CHALLENGE During term 3 the NCSS coding challenge was

offered to students who had an interest in building their skills in programming and problem solving. This year Thomas Anderson from Year 8 took out the Intermediate programming challenge. This was quite an effort considering he was up against boys in senior year levels. Ethan Near from Year 8 was the winner of the beginner challenge.

Christopher Jansen While participating in the NCSS beginners challenge I found learning, writing and experimenting with Python code a great tool and challenge to have fun with and use to complete everyday tasks, especially with the easy and interesting setup provided by the website, and hope to find other times when I can implement the skill. - Ethan Near,Year 8 GAME DESIGN This year I was able to undertake game design as an elective subject. In game design the semester long project is to create your own fully functioning video game using the program ‘Game Maker’.‘Game Maker’ gave us a lot of options for our games and what they would be like. We could have had a 2D platformer, a racing game, a shooter, a puzzle game or even something along the lines of ‘Pacman’. In ‘Game Maker’ we had to create our characters, the game world, and use coding or icons to control how our game acted. Through the two major research tasks completed during the semester we also learnt about the actual gaming industry and how it operates around the world. Game Design was a great subject to do this year.

Aedan Green - Year10 We look forward to the challenges presented by ever evolving technology in 2016 and the opportunity this presents.

Paul Tobias Centre Opening Paul Tobias has led St Joseph’s College for the past 16 years bringing substantial growth in every aspect of college life. On Friday 20 November the newest facility, the Paul Tobias Centre was blessed by Bishop Vincent Long. The Centre was named in Paul’s honour at a very fine ceremony at which Board Chair, Brett Harman, and Wayne Tinsey of EREA spoke eloquently of Paul’s great achievements in developing the character, spirit and fabric of the College. His commitment to the disadvantaged both at home and abroad has been unequalled, the Year 9 campus, Westcourt, at Herne Hill is but one example of many developments for the good of his students. The Paul Tobias Centre appropriately provides student and staff services – including careers, counselling, education support, meeting rooms and staff room.

Kokoda We made it! After 9 long, hard and arduous days, including one rest day spent at a local village, we had finally conquered the Kokoda track.

Prior to departing form Melbourne, the group had to complete an 8 week training program which included waking early every Wednesday to train at the Geelong Lawn Tennis Club, completing countless squats, lunges, planks and other strengthening exercises to prepare us for the big hills in the Owen Stanley Range. It also included a hike every second week, from walking up the You Yang’s to a final, 35km hike from Point Danger in Torquay to Anglesea and back.

On Sunday 21 June, it was an early rise for our flight to Port Moresby.

The weather in PNG was a bit of a shock, as the heat and humidity struck us. Mick and Nigel, our tour guides, met us at the airport.

It was another early start the next morning for our flight to Popondetta, on a small, 50-seater plane. Upon landing, we were taken to a small community for a welcome to country and to inspect various pieces of Japanese and Australian military items.This was the first of many historical sites along the journey.We then paid a visit to a war memorial in Popondetta.

After a rough, dusty 3 hour bus trip, we finally pulled in to Kokoda.

Here, we met the porters who would be supporting us for the rest of the journey. Mick gave us a short spiel about Kokoda, before beginning our 9 day hike.The first hill was a tough climb, and after 3 hours of walking, we arrived at our first campsite at Deniki.We set up our beds in and had a quick shower from a stream down the side of a mountain, before a delicious dinner made by the porters. This was the only night it rained.

The following days had similar routines to them.

The wake-up call would be delivered at 5 to begin walking by 6. Normally we would have a quick break every hour, depending on the terrain, and stop for an hour at lunch. Usually we would arrive in camp at around 3:30. The second day provided a highlight of the trip, visiting the Isurava war memorial, where a key battle was fought over four days and nights between the Australian and Japanese forces. It was here that Private Bruce Kingsbury was awarded the first Victorian Cross on Australian territory.

The group played the Last Post, and observed one-minute’s silence in memory of the soldiers that valiantly fought and died for our country, such as John Metson, Butch Bisset, Charlie McCallum and Bruce Kingsbury.

The next couple of days included many historical site visits. At Eora Creek village, we were able to see Japanese trenches, armoury, ammunition and a mountain gun site. We stayed overnight at Templeton’s Crossing 1, where we were able to enjoy a refreshing swim. Templeton’s crossing is named after one of the first soldiers to die in the

98

campaign, Sam Templeton.We also paid a visit to the Myola 1 airfield and hospital site, and the site of an American plane crash, where parts of the plane still remain. From there we trekked to the village of Kagi, where we would spend our rest day.

The rest day in Kagi was a highlight of the trip. The group split into three to experience the life of an everyday villager. The activities included gardening, hunting and wood chopping. After a unique experience, there was a small break for lunch before the inaugural Australia vs PNG games. These included Touch Rugby, Tug of War, Volleyball, Soccer and climb the greasy pole. The students went down 2-3 to PNG, unable to win in the greasy pole challenge. The day was rounded off by attending the local church before heading off to bed.

The last half of the trip was a tough walk. Day 6 included visiting Mission Ridge and Brigade hill, where key battles were fought and many Australians lives lost. The Last Post and a minutes silence was observed once again in memory of these soldiers before heading to Menari, where we would spend the night. In Menari, we had the pleasure of meeting a Fuzzy Wuzzy Angel who supported us in the war. Day 7 was one of the toughest days for the whole trek, whilst also being one of the shortest. It included hiking across flat stretches of land, hiking through a swamp and climbing 7 of the 9 false peaks, before arriving into camp at 12:30 for lunch.

Day 8 began with the last 2 of the 9 false peaks, where from the top of the last false peak, the group was able to see Port Moresby.We paid a visit to Loribawa ridge, which was the southernmost point of the Japanese advance along the Kokoda Track. After lunch and several downhills, the group had the first of many river crossings to pass through to visit the camp.The final village we stayed at had a beautiful creek to swim in.

The final trek was a short, but difficult walk. The final hill felt as if it kept on going, and would never end.After photos in the arches, we enjoyed a cold drink and some sausages before jumping in the bus and heading to the Bomana War Cemetery. This cemetery was the most confronting spot of the trip, as we were met with roughly 3500 graves, some of which were unidentified. This visit hit home how many people had died fighting for our country, and all had died because of war. After a solemn Last Post and minute’s silence, the group headed back to the hotel, where we had dinner with the porters and a presentation ceremony.

This trip was an amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity.

It was challenging on both a physical and emotional level, detailing how tough the soldiers fought and the courage required. Although this trip isn’t a walk in the park, if given the opportunity to go, grab it with both hands, as you won’t regret it.

Edmund Rice Day EDMUND RICE DAY On Thursday 19 March, there was a sense of excitement and buzz felt upon arrival at school.

Everyone was eager to get the day started, first the annual cross country was to be held with a 4km run/ walk along the Barwon River. Once that was finished you received a delicious lunch. From there the day got underway with many activities being held such as sumo wrestling, water bomb cannons, soccer

tournaments, Xbox competitions and chalk drawing just to name a few. To finish the day was the much anticipated teacher vs student Gaelic football match. It was a very close and entertaining match with the students just holding off a fast finishing teachers side. I would like to say Congratulations on raising of over $40,000 for education in East Timor, Uganda and various our charities I am very much already looking forward to next year’s Edmund Rice Day. - Lachlan Schoemaker - Year 7

Health & Physical Education In 2015 the Health and Physical Education department has once again successfully provided the students of St Joseph’s with the chance to experience a wide range of physical activity and learning experiences.

This year we successfully launched our new “Health and Physical Education” subject at Year 7.This new, year-long course, provided the students with the chance to learn about a diverse range of important contemporary health topics, integrated with physical activity.

Year 10 was also given a re-vamp this year with 3 new subjects, “Optimal Health”, Sport Science and Action in the Outdoors, taught for the first time. These new courses were designed to introduce the Year 10’s to topics from VCE HHD, VCE PE and VCE OES in a highly practical setting. All three subjects were a great success and hopefully they have provided a solid preparation for the boy’s VCE studies.

The outdoor education department has continued to strive to teach our boys the enormous value of healthy outdoor environments for them and society. In doing this, we hope that many SJC boys will leave our walls respectful and appreciative

Canoeing trip - sport & Recreation

of the environments around them and value the opportunities they have to participate in activities in them. We are so lucky to live where we do surrounded by beautiful beaches and bushland. We aim to give our boys a theoretical understanding of these places, but also an understanding of how they can be enjoyed in a recreational sense. If we have more boys leaving school as mountain bikers, rock climbers, surfers, skiers, paddlers, divers, rafters, etc. we will have more boys willing to look after the environments they enjoy and we’ll have a healthier world to live in.

In his first year as a Health and Physical Education Coordinator Mr Sam Querella has done an amazing job and I would like to thank him for his enthusiasm and dedication in this role. I would also like to thank Mr Nick Jones for filling in for Sam in Term 3, his hard work was much appreciated. James Hickey has done a fantastic job as AFL trainee this year and we wish him the best of luck as he starts his tertiary studies at Deakin in Business / Law next year.

To finish I would like to say thank you to all of the staff and students from the Health and Physical Education Department, you are what makes our department such a successful one and I look further to more great work next year.

Cross Country In 2015, the first event to kick off the cross country season was the St Joseph’s Cross Country on Edmund Rice Day. The winners in their respective age groups were; Tom Hockley-Samon (U/13), Will Batson (U/14), Baxter Mensch (U/15), Hugh Mcmahon (U/16), Liam Higgins (U/17) & Jack Hockley-Samon (Senior).

In Term 3, the SJC Cross Country team went to Bundoora to compete in the ACC competition and had its best result ever, coming second in first division, missing out on the overall championship by just 11 points. The highlight of our team results was the under 15s, who won their competition by 49 points.

The great results are due to the hard work that has been put in by all of the runners and the coaches Mr O’Grady, and Mr. Kemp. The team trained twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays showing great commitment and dedication.Congratulations again to all involved and good luck next year.

Eamon Anderson - Cross Country Co-Captain CITY TO SURF TRIP 2015 On 9 August Daniel Corray, William Kiebert, Frederick Dripps, Nicholas Sanders, Thomas Keast, Matthew Keast, Max McMahon, Tom Hockley-Samon, Jack HockleySamon, Jacob Loughnan, Oliver Loughnan, Declan Fenton, Alexi Kanellos, Paul Kanellos, Nicholas Lodge, Dylan Sharp, Oliver Hanneysee and I, attended the Sun Herald City to Surf in Sydney.

The conditions were amazing and whole team performed

superbly. Several SJC runners completed the 14km race in under an hour (a great achievement). After the race we enjoyed a swim at Bondi beach and a ferry ride around circular quay with amazing views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Thank you to Mr Rayson and Mr O’Grady for planning the trip and well done to all the boys who attended.

Michael McAuliffe - Senior Cross Country team member OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL CROSS COUNTRY RESULT On 13 June the Victorian state cross country trials where held at Bundoora park.The following boys attained excellent individual results ranking them amongst the best runners in Victoria: Eamon Anderson (7th), Oliver Wiltshire (7th), Oliver Loughnan (21st), Matthew Keast (43rd), Paul Kanellos (18th), Tom Hockley-Samon (15th) and myself (14th).

Eamon Anderson and Oliver Wiltshire were selected as part of the Victorian Cross Country team to attend the National Cross country Trials at Mooney Valley. Both Eamon and Oliver performed exceptionally well and are now ranked within the top 50 runners in Australia for their age group.

Year 10 ACC Football Hello all St Joey’s faithful, I’d first like to thank our co-coaches this year in Mr Lynch and Mr Holt.

They put in an enormous amount of time and effort and the entire squad are very appreciative. I’d also like to thank Lenny and Mick for their efforts this year with the strapping and great encouragement from the boundary.

Now the season recap.The first match resulted in a 150 point belting to the hands of the eventual cellar dwellers in Mazenod and our midfield dominated hitting up big boy Ben Thomas who went on to kick the equal Year 10 goal kicking record of 7. De La Salle was a good 42 point winner with Jack Brogden a stand out having said to be incredibly close to the perfect 10 by coach Holt.

The Parade game was a great wake up call for the boys going down by 61 points and which was a turning point for the season.

Whitefriars away was never an easy journey but the boys stood up to the challenge even with the MCG like cheering and booing from the Whitefriars fateful. The team spirits were up and about, with the game highlighted by the goal of the year from Dave Handley who gave the Whitefriars boys nightmares with a candy selling goal.

Round 5 saw us up against undefeated St Bede’s and the boys started like a house on fire with a strong lead early. But to St Bede’s credit they finished well to beat us by the post by 9 points.

The final home and away match was against St Bernard’s with the stars aligning to make the winner of the game play against Bede’s who had already locked in the home grand final. To add fuel to the fire Mr Holt overheard a few St Bernard lads say “these country fellas are no chance against Metro schools” which I gladly told the troops to get us up and about, which followed with a 53 point win in fine fashion.

We went into the grand final as the underdogs against St Bede’s, and it was a hard fought match from siren to siren with a the little things just not going our way.

Rumours have it Harry McMahon had to go to the local Police station to after being robbed of his clutch goal in the last two minutes which would have given us the lead.

Anyway… the year was a lot of fun and the boys had a blast! Special mention to the award winners; Best and Fairest David Handley; Runner Up Best and Fairest Jack Brogden, Harrison Ling and Aaron Stone; and Coaches Award Jack Purcell.

Congratulations to all the boys who made their debut for the school. The future of St Joseph’s first XVIII is in safe hands.

Senior Football For the St Joseph’s First XVIII, the dream of an ACC premiership shaped their entire 2015 season and made for a fascinating year full of highlights.

each. The 102-point thumping of St Bernard’s was ideal preparation for the Semi Final one week later. Raven Marika stepped up with six goals but the day was soured by injuries.

Taking on St. Bede’s in round one with the Year 11’s and 12’s playing together for the first time, Coaches Jono Holt and Chris Lynch were impressed with the 102 point victory. Darby Schilder starred with a six goal haul whilst Jackson Mclachlan was unstoppable. Unfortunately the strong form shown in round one was not enough to overcome Whitefriars the following week. Joeys were given a lesson by their rivals and despite team Best and Fairest Ben McNamara’s inspiring efforts in the backline, they suffered a 58-point loss. Back at Elderslie Reserve the following week, St Joseph’s completely outclassed Mazenod with 34 scoring shots to five. Inaccuracy may have softened the blow but Joeys were back on the winners list, Jack Blood claiming best afield honours.

The ACC Grand Final proved to be a great test for Joeys and despite a combination of injuries and the task of taking down a previously undefeated Whitefriars, they came out with a thrilling three-point victory in front of many fans at Elsternwick Park. Regardless of the Herald Sun Shield Semi Final loss to St Patrick’s College weeks later, the year will be remembered as a successful one on the back of one of the most unforgettable premiership campaigns in St Joseph’s footballing history.

Coming off the bye, Joeys faced a tough challenge at home against an in-form Parade College in round five. Needing a win to almost lock in a home-final, Guy Hardiman put on an astonishing display with 10 goals as the home side claimed a 95-point victory. The momentum flowed into the following week as Joeys travelled to De La Salle and despite a depleted line-up, were barely challenged. Max Hungerford was prolific in the match with six majors and Patrick Dowling was at his dangerous best.

In the final round of the season, Joeys took on St. Bernard’s in the annual Reconciliation Match. After locking up second spot on the ladder the week prior, the boys put on a show in Essendon with Hardiman and Captain David McNeel finishing the match with five goals

Thanks to the supporting staff and coaches for a seamless year of football. The tireless efforts of tandem coaches Mr Holt and Mr Lynch and their constant dedication and commitment to the program has reaped the benefits of their first ACC Premiership as a duo. Without the devoted helpers in Shane Dawson and Lenny Alford (trainers), Greg Vaughn (manager) and Mr Milverton the successes had wouldn’t have been achieved. Thanks also to Ian Durran and Mr Clohesy, who helped the team in any way they could. Finally, to the departing Mick Hinds, we thank you for the many years of service to the SJC sporting program, your constant enthusiasm shown over the journey has made for plenty of joyful moments.

The desired goal of achieving our breakthrough ACC premiership was even more enjoyable for the camaraderie shown from all involved. I would like to thank all who helped made the year possible, and wish the future years luck in the hope of going the next step to achieving the Herald Sun Shield, which I strongly believe can be achieved.

St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club Well what can I say: WE DID IT!!! Finally after 26 years we have another Senior Football Premiership to our name. For those that were there and witnessed the visible outpouring of emotion at the final siren it is something, that I believe, will live in collective memories forever!

Obviously the achievement and recognition rightly goes to the coach and his players. The commitment and work done, is as close to semi-professional as you will see. Having said that, the 22 players and coach Heath Jamieson will be first to admit that without the teammates who missed out on playing, supporters, members, volunteers, coterie group members, committee and sponsors, none of this would have been possible. This drought-breaking Premiership unquestionably belongs to our whole community and is reward for their patience and hard work.

To go along with our senior 2 o’clock success, our 12 o’clock team was also successful in achieving a Premiership so all in all its been an outstanding year for our senior boys.

Our two Colt teams also had outstanding years in both making Grand Finals. Coaches, Mick and Richie did a wonderful job with their respective sides and congratulations to both along with their respective support teams. There is no question some very good and long term senior players will develop out of the 2015 Colts group.

Our Netball division this year, with 2nd year head coach Sandi Dimasi, had an up and down year with results very much depending on which of her young players were available. Sandi and her coaching team are moulding a very young group into an A grade team, that will continually compete in finals.

We also congratulate our C & D grade Netball teams who made Grand Finals.

Overall on-field we had over 550 participates each week, which is a truly great testament of our club and the opportunities available to our young people.

Off field, we wish to not only thank and recognise our three major sponsors, Interpack, Signature Homes and Portelli Painting, but also our numerous other sponsors whose support is greatly appreciated. Whilst we do at all times try and provide value, we also acknowledge that, in many ways, it’s a love of the St Joseph’s community that keeps them involved. Having said that, it is important that all club members and supporters look to use these businesses whenever 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.

This year was a matter of consolidating the works we had started in 2014, which included the completion of the Netball coaches’ boxes and bitumen around the courts. We have a significant infrastructure works on the drawing board including our “wedge” project which encompasses netball change rooms. We continue to apply tirelessly for Government and Council funding to assist our community contributions in getting these new projects off the ground. Here we acknowledge the hard work of Rob Threlfall and Todd Devine and thank them for the many hours they give to oversee these submissions and tasks.

Janine Nicholls once again organised most of our social functions. We thank Janine for her tireless hard work, commencing with the Season’s Launch through to the Ladies Lunch, the Gala Ball and 106

Presentation night. Throughout the year Janine and her team of helpers have mean so much to our club and the wider community.

The social year started in March with a Season’s Launch again organised and hosted by the incredibly generous College Old Collegian, Nick Maxwell. This event was held at the Westpac Centre with special guest Storm Coach, Craig Bellamy. Other guests for the day were ex St Kilda and Collingwood star Luke Ball. This event has become a significant fundraiser for our club and we sincerely thank Nick for his amazing contribution.

Here I also thank Nick for the work he does with the Carmody Foundation. It was our 2nd year of the merged Gala Ball and the Carmody Foundation’s annual function. This year’s event was significantly bigger than last year both in terms of people attending and funds raised for both the club and the College Foundation. The night was a great social success, with the Casino play money theme being a huge hit. The Gala Ball was held at the Br OS Adams Centre (College gymnasium) and was a huge factor in attracting different sections of our St Joseph’s and wider community. We thank both the St Joseph’s College and St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club communities for supporting this event and we look forward to continuing to build this annual event at the College.

The Grand Final eve Lunch at The Pier was held on the Thursday afternoon this year..

Thankfully the change of day did not dampen spirits with a record 740 people in attendance.

Special mention goes to Brett Bentley and John McKinnon for running what must be regional Australia’s biggest Grand Final function. The work these gentlemen do in getting this event organised is outstanding.

To the rest of the hard working committee, who continue to put in the many volunteer hours required to run this ever increasing business, that is the St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club, I extend a big thank you. To survive and prosper these days at this level, we continually have to become more professional. Having said that, I believe it is the sense of belonging and being valued that bring them to volunteer and work so hard. I am always in awe of the good people at our Club and know they are the foundation on which clubs like ours are built.

To our supporters groups, the Club 32 and the On-Ballers, it was again a record breaking fundraising year, 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. To all of the football and medical department who put in an enormous amount of effort behind the scenes. Your work is very much valued and appreciated in helping to create the right environment. To all teams who competed this year, congratulations on your efforts and the way you have conducted yourself.

In closing, I wish to assure everyone that the club is looking to build on very solid foundations and will continue to work tirelessly. We look to the next year and beyond with excitement as we strive to continue to build on The Joey’s Way...

YEAR 10 CRICKET After losing the first two games of the season the SJC Cricket Team reeled off five successive victories and claimed 2015 Associated Catholic Colleges Premiership.

The final was an extremely tense match. Mazenod sent SJC in on a slow but true wicket. Andrew McNeel starred with bat making an unbeaten half century and was compulsorily retired. He was well supported by his ever reliable skipper, Henry Collins. Joseph McDonald made a very valuable 18no at the end of the innings.

Mazenod commenced its run chase in rapid fashion. It was 1/50 after 14 overs only requiring 73 off 16 with 9 wickets in hand. Collins then introduced off-spinner, Joshua Widdison into the attack.This move stemmed the run flow and pressure began to be applied. A direct hit by Flynn Draper resulted in a run out and the game began to turn but Mazenod was still in the box seat.With the advent of Zachary Walter to SUPER 8s CRICKET MILO T20 the bowling crease wickets started to tumble. He Back Row: Thomas O’Brien-Henderson, Jack Mullen, Darcy Chirgwin, Ben Miller captured 3/18 in a game changing spell. However, Front Row: Riley Berg, Jack Benstead, Jesse Clark, Brad Edwards with one over remaining Mazenod required only Absent: Thomas Courtney, William Taylor, Jay Dahlhaus 7 runs to tie (enough to ensure the Premiership) but was 9 wickets down. Collins chose McNeel to bowl the last over. With 3 balls remaining Mazenod needed 4 runs for victory. With his fourth ball, McNeel trapped the Number 11 in front - LBW. SJC Captain, Henry Collins accepted the trophy and thanked Mazenod for providing perfect conditions and facilities and an incredible game of school cricket that could have gone either way.

Basketball VICTORIAN COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIPS The Victorian College Championships has now become the major tournament for our basketball teams. The event is run by Basketball Victoria. Teams must first qualify for the grand final at regional level and then progress to the state finals where they will play off in games to reach the state final and then receive an appropriate final placing.

JUNIOR TEAM: This year the Junior team played in Division 1, as a result of having many players who were playing representative basketball in 2015. The boys progressed through the first round quite comfortably, only losing the final by a few points. This allowed them to qualify for the state finals. After some excellent wins in their pool games, the boys qualified for the semi-finals, even managing to beat schools that run basketball programs within their curriculum. The boys lost the semi-final narrowly. Their final placing was fourth, in division one. Considering this team was the only school to make the semi-finals that wasn’t a specialist sports school, it was quite an achievement. In fact it is the highest division one finish for SJC. Congratulations to all team members, and we look forward to more outstanding results in the future.

INTERMEDIATE TEAM: The SJC Intermediate team entered the VCC tournament in Division 2 as only some of the team were playing representative basketball in 2015. The boys started their campaign quite well and reached the semi-finals of the regional rounds at Werribee. Unfortunately, despite the boys’ best efforts, their shots just wouldn’t fall during the semi-final and the result was a defeat. This meant that this team didn’t qualify for the state finals in 2015.

SENIOR TEAM: The senior boys also played in Division 2 of the VCC competition. Their preliminary rounds were held at Werribee and despite some injuries to key personnel they managed to get enough wins to progress to the State Finals.

The boys played some exceptional games in their pool games and qualified for the semi-finals. They won this game quite convincingly and qualified for the state final. Here, they met their arch rivals in Bacchus Marsh Grammar. Unfortunately, the boys couldn’t manage a win and were defeated. However, the team should be congratulated on finishing second overall in division two.

Surfing The 2015 St Joseph’s College surfing competition saw 42 surfers head to Jan Juc in Week 3 of Term 1 to compete for a place in the SJC surf team for the state titles and for the crown of the schools best senior and junior surfer.

In the junior division, third place went to Dylan Hart, second place went to James Hughes, and the 2015 Junior Surfing champion was Xavier Huxtable. Xavier has had a very successful year competing in many competitions around Australia and his results have placed him amongst the best junior surfers in the country. Well done Xavier.

In the senior division, third place went to Josh Cammarere, second place went to Lewis Oates, and the 2015 Senior Surfing champion was Casey McCrohan. Casey has won the senior title three years in a row as a Year 10, 11 and senior student.

He was chosen as the captain of the schools surf team and was incredibly successful in that role. He has been a great representative of surfing at St Joseph’s in his time here and he will be missed by the surf team when he graduates at the end Xavier Huxtable

of this year. Congratulations Casey.

In this year’s Victorian Independent Schools State Championships, Casey McCrohan, Lewis Oates, Josh Cammarere, Cameron Drake, Dylan Hart, Xavier Huxtable, James Hughes, Indie White and Rikki Bell-Warren competed in and won the event! This was a great achievement as St Joseph’s College has not won the state title in at least a decade.

All of the students surfed incredibly well but Rikki from Sacred Heart must get a special mention. St Joseph’s would not have been able to compete with a full team unless Rikki agreed to surf with us and she provided everyone with an entertaining finish as she sprinted through the finish line milliseconds before the final siren.

Thank you to Mr Wilcox, Mr Davies, Cameron Lamperd, Simon Forward and Mark Hudson for organising and judging the St Joseph’s College Surfing Competition.

Cycling It’s been another action packed year for our SJC cyclists as they’ve competed in various road and mountain bike events around the state.

The Victorian schools cycling championships road event took place on 12 August, using the same circuit as last year, racing around closed roads in Victoria Park in Ballarat. The team faced typical ‘Ballarat weather’, with a top of 9 degrees and drizzling rain all day – which made racing difficult. 22 boys made the trip to race across all age levels, with St Joseph’s easily having the highest numbers of any of the competing schools.

The first race of the day was the U/15 event, with 15 SJC boys lining up at the start line. We took the first 12 positions over the finish line before a rider from another school crossed! Congratulations to all boys on the way they rode, particularly to Oliver Poole, Clay Page and Cooper Jessen who crossed in first, second and third respectively – qualifying for the state final in the process.

In the U/17 novice category, Jai Sebastiani rode very well to take 4th position and Jack Benstead took out 6th. Dominic Van Slageran and Zac Rushbrook both rode very strongly to cross the line in 4th and 8th respectively in the hotly contested U/17 racing category.

In the last race of the day, the U/19 racing event, Joseph McMahon went out well and had all but sewn the race up near the finish with a large lead when he unluckily suffered a flat tyre that put him out of the race. This turned out to be a positive for Evan Splojaric who was able to capitalise with some impressive riding to take the win and qualify for the state final.

On 16 August, 15 SJC boys joined 250 other students from all over Victoria at the You Yangs

114

for the mountain bike western zone final. All boys rode the challenging course very well, demonstrating skill and determination as they fought for position.

There was a huge field for the U/15 event, with SJC having 7 representatives amongst the 45 riders. Oliver Poole backed up his impressive ride in the road event to take out 3rd and qualify for the state round in mountain biking as well! Will Arblaster (7th), Dougal Barrett (15th), Thomas DeGrandi (17th), Tom Hardiman (20th), Ollie Giles (22nd) and Riley Beste (29th) all rode very well. Jake McCorkell (7th), Mitchell Grima (8th) and Jai Sebastiani (12th) rode strongly in the U/17 event and Lachlan Sharp (4th), Matt Bolger (6th) and Michael McAuliffe (7th) were also impressive in the U/19 race.

Dominic Van Slageran and Joseph McMahon both made the trip to Bendigo in October to compete in the road state final in their respective age categories. While neither boy finished in the placings, they both rode hard in very competitive fields to represent the school extremely well – good work boys!

The final event on the cycling calendar for 2015 was the Around the Bay in a Day Schools Challenge, a 100km ride from Melbourne to Frankston and back on 18 October. All boys rode very well to comfortably cover the distance in glorious sunshine. We look forward to an even bigger and more successful year in cycling in 2016!

Staff Farewells REFLECTIONS ON OUR TIME AT ST JOSEPH’S PAUL CLOHESY (2009 - 2015) My first experience of St Joseph’s College occurred when I was coaching the Salesian College Senior Cricket Team and we played against St Joseph’s on Zampatti Oval. While I don’t recollect the final result on that day, although suspect Joeys would have won, I do remember sitting in front of the Cricket Pavilion in the sun light with a magnificent view of the bay and thinking what a great place this would be to work. Not in my wildest dreams did I think that some five or so years later I would be fortunate enough to be appointed as Deputy Principal of the school.

How time flies, it seems quite unbelievable that I am now sitting here reflecting on 7 magnificent years in such a great school as I plan for the next stage of my own professional journey.Throughout my time at Joeys I have so many highlights and fond memories that to mention them all would fill the pages of more than this entire publication. Over my time here, I have met and worked with so many remarkable students, staff and parents and will remember them all fondly. Our celebration days stand out, the music, the school productions and my involvement in school sport are all highlights.

What I will remember most fondly though is the sense of compassion, warmth and generosity that exists in our wonderful college. The manner we care for each other and particularly for those experiencing trauma or difficulty leaves St Joseph’s with no peer. The involvement of parents and carers in the school and the support they provide, the dedicated and hard- working staff that often go above and beyond the expectations of their job in support of the boys and the fun-loving and genuine good humour of the boys all provide great memories.The enormous contribution made by so many to those living on the margins in the broader Geelong community.

I am forever indebted to our principal, Paul Tobias, for giving me the opportunity to work in such a great school. I have loved every minute of my time at Joeys and in the Geelong community. While I will miss what I leave behind I am certainly looking forward to the challenges that await. St Joseph’s will be forever part of my life and I only hope that throughout my seven years I have had a positive impact on the school and more importantly the people who make the school what it is.

JO HART (2007 - 2015) My nine years at St Joseph’s College have been the most enriching, invigorating, challenging, and inspiring of my adult life. I came to Geelong after living most of my life in Gippsland and found a wonderful home at St Joseph’s. The staff, students and families were and have continued to be so warm and welcoming. I have felt completely supported throughout my time here due to this wonderful community’s generosity and willingness to support others in need. For this I say a heartfelt thank you.

Initially I came as an English teacher to the College then moved fairly quickly into the Mission Team.

Through involvement in a number of roles in this team I was able to grow spiritually, intellectually and professionally into the Identity leader which I have become. Paul Tobias and other members of the Management team have supported me throughout this journey, putting their faith in my abilities and my initiatives.

As a teacher, I have had the greatest of pleasures of guiding the learning of the young men who have grown up in front of me, particularly in their Religious Education and Media classes. As I move into my position at Edmund Rice Education Australia, I will continue to be conscious of Edmund Rice’s belief in each student, no matter their station in life, as an individual who is loved by God. While here at St Joseph’s I aimed to serve our College community, and therefore at EREA I will be aiming to serve Edmund Rice Schools around the country with the same compassion and justice oriented approach which has made St Joseph’s such a remarkable school.

MICHAEL TIMMS (2007 - 2015) I have been fortunate enough to have spent the past nine years at St Joseph’s College. Throughout this time I have gotten married, had two beautiful children and established some life-long friendships.

For these reasons it is easy to understand that St Joseph’s College means a lot more to me than a place to work. It is a magnificent school that is filled with exceptional staff and students. Therefore, the decision to leave was a very difficult one.

I have enjoyed being part of the Physical Education Faculty, working closely with Darryl Wedding and Mark Rayson in establishing a comprehensive Outdoor Education curriculum and connecting with many students as a teacher and Year Level Coordinator.

St Joseph’s has provided me with several opportunities to grow and mature not only as a classroom teacher but as a school leader and I am very grateful for that.This has been largely due to Paul Tobias’ faith in my ability and capacity as a leader. I would also like to acknowledge Paul Clohesy who has taught me many skills and been an exceptional mentor over the past seven years.

I would like to thank all the students, staff, parents and the wider community of St Joseph’s for the support and encouragement that I have received during my time at the college.

GOOD LUCK AND FAREWELL

To all members of staff who will not be returning in 2016, 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.
