Bazalicki, with Jeremy Pryslak, Rob and James Aitken (SJC) Congratulations are also extended to the three Year 7 students Tom Bucki Smith, Jackson Bourke and Harry Hudson-Collins who produced a cyber safety video which was awarded second prize of $250 from the Victorian Department of Consumer Affairs.

Over the past couple of weeks we have been sponsoring a visit from Fr Emma, from the Mannya Parish in Uganda.

Fr Emma is responsible for 17 schools in the parish of Mannya and he has been interested in learning as much as possible about educational administration in Australia.

Principal’s Report Dear Parents, Students and Friends of the College, We were extremely lucky with the weather last Friday for the Triumph festival. The behaviour of students from the four Catholic Secondary Colleges was outstanding and a significant amount of money was raised for our nearest and poorest neighbour Timor Leste. Hopefully we will have a grand total by the next newsletter.

Last Tuesday evening the Upstart Entrepreneurial Challenge held its final pitching challenge. Upstart is a program that was initiated by the St Joseph’s College Foundation two years ago which aims to foster innovative thinking, entrepreneurial risk taking and resilience to failure.

Aimed at building an entrepreneurial culture and fostering strong relationships between students, educators, industry and the community in the Geelong region. Students are encouraged to come up with their own innovative ideas and develop them within the program. This year the College Foundation opened the challenge to include students from some other secondary Colleges in the Geelong region. St Joseph’s College, Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College, Sacred Heart College, Geelong College, Western Heights College and Northern Bay College.

Congratulations to the following students who were finalists in the pitching challenge: Winning team - Brayden Thompson (SJC) (with Sidney Glenister from GBC) with their idea of Swim earphones Second Place - Lorrena Durran and Rosie English (SHC) The People’s Choice - Xavier Dowd and Nicolas van Meel, with their idea of the Train Ramp (SJC) Pitching finalists - Rhys Hegyesi, Liam Higgins, John Perks - Olive Pips (SJC) Big Ideas Winners - Angus Kelly, Rory Kelly.

We are grateful to many members of our school community who have assisted him throughout his stay, especially Michelle and Ric Brodrick who have hosted his visit and organised his itinerary. There is no doubt that Fr Emma has learnt much from his stay and we wish him well on his return to Uganda.

News from the Deputies TRIUMPH FESTIVAL We would like to congratulate all students for the manner in which they conducted themselves during our Triumph Festival last week. As hosts of over 5000 students, the St Joseph’s students should be proud of the way they joined in the festivities with such a positive attitude and the way they showed respect to all visiting staff and students.

The outstanding efforts of all the Triumph Committee also need to be acknowledged. Students from the four Catholic schools in the Geelong region spent a year organising the event and worked extremely hard to make the day the huge success that it was. The students were supported and led by a number of staff however we would like to particularly mention two staff members for all of their hard work and leadership of the students; Mrs Rebecca Westwood and Mr Simon Cahir.Without the efforts of these two staff members the event would not have been possible.

CHINESE CONVERSATION LOUNGE AT DEAKIN WATERFRONT On Wednesday 3 September 22 Joey’s students studying LOTE Chinese attended their first ‘Conversation Lounge’ at Deakin Waterfront.

The students from Years 9 -12 met in small mixed level groups with a Deakin student, most studying for their PHD, who have volunteered to work with our students to help develop their oral language skills. The sessions, run by the Deakin students, and supported by staff from the International Division, are intended to be fun and sociable as well as educational.

Both the boys and the Deakin students really enjoyed the hour long session and look forward to meeting again this week. The sessions run from 4.00 to 5.00pm each Wednesday during the term.

The ‘Conversation Lounge’ was initiated by Carmel Maloney, mother of Finbar Kinna in Year 9, who after spendingsix weeks in China last term as part of the Victorian Young Leaders to China program, wanted more opportunity to practice his oral language skills. Our students are most fortunate to have this opportunity.

If any other students are interested in joining the group, they are most welcome and just need to see Mr Ho for more details.

HOLIDAYS As this will be the last newsletter for Term 3, we would like to wish all of our students and their families a happy and safe holiday period. For many of our Year 12 students the holidays will men VCE subject lectures and trial exams and we wish them every success with these important events that will help prepare them for the looming VCAA Examinations.

Our Year 12 VCAL students and the Year 12 students who have elected not to sit VCAA exams will finish their formal secondary education at the end of this term. We would like to wish these boys every success with their future pathways whether they be in the workforce or in further study and thank them and their families for the tremendous contribution they have made to their school.

Claire Brown & Paul Clohesy - Deputy Principals

Carrying the Fire In Term 3 each year we call for applications from Year 9 & 10 students to nominate to be our FIRE carriers for the following year. The FIRE carrier program is one of the ways we support Reconciliation within the College as FIRE stands for Friends Ignite Reconciliation Education. The FIRE Carrier role is passed on each year as part of the Investiture ceremony in October.

The FIRE Carriers are seen most publically as those who read the acknowledgement of Country at our assemblies but they are also involved behinds the scenes in a number of ways. Each year they review and develop our Reconciliation Covenant which articulates how St Joseph’s College will support Reconciliation.As part of the Covenant, the students and staff plan and deliver activities on important Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander days including Reconciliation Week, Sorry Day and Close the Gap day.

In March each year, they travel to Melbourne to represent the College at the FIRE Carrier day for schools from the Melbourne Archdiocese and run by Aboriginal Catholic Ministry. While this program is open to all schools, most of those involved at this stage are Edmund Rice schools.

Through the work of the Fire Carriers we continue to develop as an Inclusive Community and we support our ATSI students to experience a Liberating Education as articulated in the EREA Charter.

Are You Ok? This is a powerful question, and the people behind R U OK? Day think that if we ask it more often and more meaningfully, then our collective mental health will be the better for it.

The R U OK? initiative started a few years ago, and its motto is that “a conversation could change a life”. The philosophy is that we are well-placed to notice when something is not right in the lives of our friends and family, and by asking them if they are OK gives them a chance to talk about any issues they might be struggling with. I’m not sure if it’s an “Aussie” thing, or simply human nature, but it seems that many of us would rather battle on bravely with the problems and negative thoughts that are swirling around in our minds, rather than tell someone that we are struggling and need a bit of support at this time. However, when someone else starts the conversation with us, and we recognise that this person really wants to know how we are travelling and is prepared to listen to us, then we are more likely to answer something like “Well actually I’m not so great at the moment”. We may even start feeling better that instant, simply because someone cares, and then as we unload our problem or problems we slowly begin to see some hope in a situation where before we felt trapped and alone.

The brilliance of R U OK? Day is in its simplicity. Everyone has the capacity to notice, to ask the question, to listen and to follow up. Sometimes a problem will be more deepseated, and in these cases we can gently suggest that our friends seek professional help. We can even help them take that step, but they are more likely to take the step after having had the initial R U OK conversation with us. There are some great tips on www.ruok.org.au about noticing, asking, listening and following up.

When Jesus was hanging on the cross, the crowd taunted him. “He saved others, he cannot save himself ” (Mark 15:31). In a sense, the crowd had struck a truth of life. No matter how hard we try, we cannot do it all on our own. Even Jesus, who did so much for others, could only be saved by entrusting himself into the hands of the Father. It takes courage to begin an R U OK? conversation and it also takes courage to answer “No, I’m not OK”. St Paul says in his letter to the Galatians (6:2) that life is about bearing one another’s burdens, and the R U OK movement is an excellent way of helping us do just that.

What a day! The bands, performers, food and the weather was PERFECT! 5000 students packing Zampatti oval at St Joseph’s College was picture perfect, 5000 students, over 50 performers, 200 special guests and over 600 staff UNITED AS ONE to help MAKE POVERTY HISTORY. This triumph festival - RUN BY STUDENTS, FOR STUDENTS. The committee was made up of 30 very passionate, dedicated and hard working students from the four Catholic schools, who have worked exceptionally hard over the past 12 months to organise this festival. These students showed professionalism way beyond their years and all their hard work paid off on the day. As a teacher, this is my proudest moment and a day and group of students I will NEVER forget. I want to recognise the following St Joseph’s students who were a part of the main organising committee, these students need to be congratulated on their outstanding efforts Jack O’Neill Mitch Loughnan Charlie Purdy Riley Harman Sammy Rotiroti Macka Heard We would also like to make a big shout out to all our very generous sponsors and supporters. More photos and information on the total amounts of money raised will be published in the next newsletter!!

Curriculum News PARENT TEACHER STUDENT INTERVIEWS Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews were held at the end of August. Many Parents/Carers were able to attend with their sons and talk about their son’s progress. It was wonderful to see the large numbers that attended. If any parents were unable to attend and would like to meet with particular teachers, please contact their teacher by email.

MID-SEMESTER REPORTS Results of assessment tasks and Mid-Semester reports (Year 7-11) will be available on the Parent Access Module at the end of term. Year 12 students do not receive a MidSemester report, however, all SAC results to date will be available via PAM. Please email helpdesk@sjc.vic.edu.au if you need assistance. Parents/Carers will need to click on “Learning Areas/ Display Learning Area Task Summary”.

From this page you can click on each subject to access individual results.

The Mid-Semester Report can be accessed and downloaded from PAM. The reports will be available at the end of term.

SUBJECT SELECTIONS FOR 2015 Students in year 7-11 have completed their subject selections for next year. If there are any subject clashes or concerns over selections, students will be informed and will meet to discuss their choices.

STUDY TIPS AND ADVICE Earlier in the year, information was included in the newsletter about Youth Central.

Youth Central is the Victorian Government’s website for young people aged 12-25. It offers advice on study and exam preparation as well as practical advice such as battling Year 12, tips for stress free study and on-line study resources.

For study tips visit: http://www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au/Studying+&Training/

At this time of year, it is worth revisiting this site as students prepare for term four and for some, their final exams.

VCE REVISION LECTURES VCE Revision Lectures for Unit 3 and 4 subjects will be held from Friday 19 September-Monday 22 September at St Joseph’s. This is an ideal opportunity for students to finalise their exam preparation and a good way of avoiding having to travel to Melbourne for similar more expensive programs.

English lectures will be held on Friday and are compulsory for all Year 12 English students at no cost. All other lectures are at a cost of $20 and can be booked on the school website (sjc.vic.edu.au). Bookings should be made by Wednesday 17 September.

Renewals On Wednesday 20 August the first of the two Year 7 groups participated in their renewals. The idea of the day was to really reflect on our life and how we were living it. I really think everyone embraced the day and enjoyed all the activities throughout the school. The main values that we focused on were our school values – innovation, integrity and compassion. I have to say my favourite was innovation, not just because it had the most games but also because the activities involved problem solving. I also liked the other two though where in compassion we listened and learnt from Susan Collins who told us her story. During the integrity session we learnt about what integrity actually meant and made a short video.

At the end of the day we finished with a liturgy, which all throughout the day, at different times, the groups had been preparing. This made it very tricky but everyone did a good job. I think overall the day was a success and I will look forward to it next year.
