A Message From Edmund Rice Education Australia It is with a great sense of pride that Edmund Rice Education Australia acknowledges the extraordinary contribution of your College to Catholic education of young people who have been challenged to make a difference in our world. Your College is an integral part of a network of 40 schools across Australia united by a common Charter based on the vision of Edmund Rice and the Christian Brothers. This Charter has recently been reviewed and reimagined to give new life to the mission.

Throughout this year and into the future, our network of schools is being joined by a number of Associate Schools who have previously had a connection with the Edmund Rice story and the Christian Brothers.

Education Australia. Your mission in Catholic education can never be underestimated and we are proud of the role your College takes within Catholic education in Australia to provide multiple and varied opportunities for young people to live the Gospel in ways that bring life and life to the full. This indeed is the message of Jesus for all humankind.

We congratulate you on another year in the Catholic education journey by living out the Charter and we offer the College God’s blessings as it seeks new horizons into a future full of hope.

Edmund Rice Education Australia

The achievements and successes of your school during the past year are shared not only in your own community but indeed throughout the expanded network that makes up Edmund Rice 1

The College enrolment for 2011 was 1446 students.

As the only boys’ College in the district, I expect that enrolment demand for boys’ education will remain strong over the coming years.

Our VCE results for the year were as follows. In 2011 16% of VCE students achieved an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank in excess of 90 and the Dux of the College was Christopher Knight with an ATAR score of 98.85.

It has been a relief this year not to be managing major building works and their assorted challenges.

The opportunity has been taken, however, to advance a number of beneficial capital works including the establishment of a practice basketball court area and extension to car parking on the fringes of O’Driscol Oval, as well as the replacement of the concrete steps leading down to Carey Oval.

Several years ago, when the College underwent a process entitled “Renewal in Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice Tradition”, as a community, we were challenged to do more in the area of Indigenous Education. Several senior students from Arnhem Land have become part of the College this year and we have supported the Marmma’ Rom – Two World Foundation, which supports these students, in a number of significant ways. St Joseph’s College is currently recognised as part of a Federal Government funded website entitled “What Works in Indigenous Education”. Our case study is the only Catholic Secondary College in Victoria featured.

The move to expand Community Service to all year levels has been a wonderful success and our students have represented our College community by productively engaging in a large number of community partnerships, with welfare organisations in need of voluntary support or assistance. As is so often the case, our parent groups have supported and enhanced these partnerships. Our Care and Concern Group has provided support and meals to those in need of assistance within our own College community.

Our Year 12 student cohort of 2011 were a united group, well led by College Captain David Cann and Deputies, Blake Morrisey

and Chris Arnold. The senior group was exceptional in terms of their inclusion of all and their acceptance of diversity. As Principal, I accepted an invitation from the SBS Insight program to take part in a discussion about the treatment of those perceived to be gay in schools. Two things that I hope a graduate of our College would take with them on the journey for the remainder of their lives would be a sense of compassion, “what it is like for the other” and a reasonable amount of emotional intelligence.

Homophobic bullying is contrary to both those qualities and is destructive in terms of the individuals involved and the wider school community. The improvement in student culture as evident in this year’s Year 12 cohort, in comparison with when I first arrived in 1995, has been dramatic and appropriate.

This has been possible as a result of the support received from parents, staff and students over the years.

Three of our Year 11 students, Nick Cooper, Matthew Karpinski and Jackson Kol, represented the student body by attending World Youth Day in Madrid. This international event, which celebrates the Catholic Faith of youth, was a highlight of their school year.

A significant educational challenge, which I outlined in last year’s Virtus, was the introduction of one to one computing across the College. The implementation of this Federal Government initiative has been extremely well managed and the careful planning, undertaken by our Information Technology staff is much appreciated.

The level of parental participation has continued to flourish across our community and the College Board and associated sub committees have worked cooperatively throughout the year. As a consequence, a strategic Plan 2012-2016 has been developed to assist in planning the capital, financial and educational progress over the next few years. During the year, St Joseph’s and Clonard College made a joint submission to the State Government to purchase the former Minerva Road campus of Western Heights College.

This site adjoins Clonard College and as such, the northern half of the site would be used to provide extended facilities for Clonard students and the

southern half would then be available for St. Joseph’s to develop a “stand alone” Year 9 campus. As yet, the State Government has not made a decision but I am hopeful that this can be resolved in the near future and that planning can proceed so that a commencement on the new site in 2013 may be achieved.

Another potential significant development is the possibility of a Commonwealth funded Trade Training Centre. Our College has formed a cluster with Sacred Heart College, Clonard College, MacKillop School and has made a formal application to the Gillard Government for a Trade Training Centre located primarily on the St Joseph’s College site. As the only boys’ school in the district, the reality is that St Joseph’s is one of the largest suppliers of trade apprentices across the region. Our application was also mindful of the need to attract young women into considering trade training as a viable career option.

The College management team has continued to involve our College in the School Improvement Framework, offered by the Catholic Education Office, Melbourne. The focus of this framework is to analyse survey data from staff, students and parents, with a view to setting appropriate targets for school improvement.

On September 2nd students from St Joseph’s College, Sacred Heart College, St Ignatius College and Clonard College gathered at St Joseph’s for the second TriUMPH festival. The name TriUMPH reflects the coming together of the four schools triennially with the aim of Uniting to Make Poverty History. The major focus for the distribution of funds raised by this event was to assist in the education of a number of communities in East Timor. The festival was organised by student leaders from the four participating Colleges. The weather throughout the day and the behaviour of some 5000 participants was outstanding.

The annual Old Collegians Community Ball inducted three people as Ad Alta Award winners: Mrs Pat Bourke, a former parent who conducted the uniform shop as a volunteer for over 20 years, Professor Frank Larkins, for his services to Science and Education and Mr Nick Maxwell, for his contribution to sport and

his work in the community. The annual Parents and Friends Fashion Show has become a major Geelong event and was held this year at The Pier, Geelong. The proceeds of this evening were once again donated to the Christian Brothers’ Foundation for Charitable Works, to be spent on ministries in East Africa.

In a year where there was so much to celebrate, our community was saddened by the deaths of former staff member, singer and songwriter, Mr Phil Bates and of long serving property manager, Mr Russell Zampatti. Russell was a member of staff for over 40 years and his generosity and competence in so many different areas were legendary. Russell was a role model for generations of St Joseph’s students. Both Phil and Russell will be sadly missed.

I need to acknowledge three other people who will not be around St Joseph’s in 2012. Fr. Peter Foley, old collegian and long serving parish priest of St Bernard’s Belmont, retired during the year. Peter is a former McNeill Cup winner and has been an outstanding parish priest and supporter of his former College. I wish Peter well and thank him for all he has done in serving the local community.

Mr Anthony Chapman – Director of Mission will be taking a break with his family next year and hopes to travel around Australia. Anthony has made a significant contribution over the past five years and I wish him well.

Our current Director of Curriculum, Mr Robert Blackley, after 25 years of dedicated service to St Joseph’s, has been appointed as Deputy Principal of Catholic Regional College, Melton. I congratulate Rob on his appointment and thank him on behalf of our community for his outstanding service.

I am grateful to all of those parents, staff and students who have worked together throughout 2011 to help make our College the best Catholic school we can be. There is so much to celebrate and to be proud of.

I extend to the community my best wishes for the year ahead and I look forward to the challenges of 2012.

God Bless Paul Tobias

College Board Report “It is an honour to be part of a leadership team that is involved with this community – a community that is absolutely unique amongst school communities, a community where our core values ‘compassion innovation integrity’ are not just words, but witnessed daily.”

- Jane Littore

In many ways 2011 has been a sad time for St Joseph’s College with the deaths of two much-loved staff members, Phil Bates and Russell Zampatti.

However, in the most trying of times, the St Joseph’s community has a great history of pulling together to support each other, and this year was no exception.

It is an honour to be part of a leadership team that is involved with this community – a community that is absolutely unique amongst school communities, a community where our core values “compassion innovation integrity” are not just words, but witnessed daily. Compassion, arguably the most important in an all-boys Christian school in today’s intolerant world, actually lives within this community, and I have been moved and proud to see this compassion shining through in the immense sadness of the past months. The St Joseph’s community, through its compassion, ensures that even in times of sorrow and darkness, there can be joy and light.

Compassion was also a theme at our 2011 Board Seminar, where Tim Diamond, Manager of the Cotton On Foundation, was our guest speaker. Tim is an ex “Joey’s boy”, and inspired all of us with his presentation on the Cotton On Foundation’s work in Mannya, Uganda. This was very fitting as St Joseph’s has steadily increased its focus on social justice and community service over the years, and we can be very proud of our boys and their achievements in this area. It is wonderful to see that two of our staff members are heading to Uganda with a small group of boys for what would otherwise be their “Schoolies” week. What a marvellous example these boys are setting and congratulations to Rick Broderick for initiating this fantastic trip.

The Board has had guest speakers at nearly every meeting this year, all of whom have enlightened us in various aspects of the school. The student leaders gave us an excellent presentation of their work around the school, and served to remind us what great leaders so many of our boys are. The leaders’ presentation is one that the Board looks forward to every year. We also heard about the music department, ICT department, the Development

4

Office and Educational Support Programs within the school.

This year we farewell Sharon Gleeson, who has been on the Board for the past three years, but for many years has also been involved with (and been President of) our Parents and Friends Association.

Sharon has contributed a huge amount to the St Joseph’s community in many ways, and we will miss her greatly, and hope that she will still be a regular presence around the school. In 2012 we welcome Brett Harman onto the Board, and trust that he will enjoy his time with us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board members for their contribution this year, and look forward to another successful year in 2012.

People often ask me if it’s a “hard gig” to be on the Board, if it’s a lot of work, or time-consuming, or boring, and I can honestly say that it is none of those things. We are extremely fortunate in that our school is in excellent hands in all areas, and not only is it a pleasure, it is a privilege to work with Paul Tobias, Claire Brown, Paul Clohesy, Rob Blackley, Anthony Chapman and Terry Fowler who make up the School Management Team. Their demands for excellence in all aspects of our boys’ education should be recognised and applauded. We are sorry to be farewelling Rob Blackley and Anthony Chapman, and we wish them well in their future ventures. Special thanks go to Maureen Bryant, the heartbeat of ‘Joeys’, and Adel Mawson, who keep us all organised, and add all the special touches that mean so much to so many. To all teachers and other staff at St Joseph’s: thank-you for your tireless energy, your boundless compassion, and your great belief in our boys.

Staff Farewells Robert Blackley (1987-2011)

A member of staff for the past 25 years, Rob has taught a range of commerce subjects and is an outstanding senior teacher of economics and legal studies. He was for many years the SOSE Key Learning Area Coordinator and for the past 11 years has been the Director of Curriculum. Rob has been an excellent staff member and curriculum leader and we wish him well in his new role as the Deputy Principal of Catholic Regional College Melton.

Ross Cameron (2007-2011)

We say farewell and wish Ross Cameron a safe and enjoyable trip to England for 2012, where he will be continuing his teaching career and also partaking in some European adventures. Ross commenced at St Joseph’s in 2007 and was an active member and an innovative contributor in both the Science and Mathematics Faculty.

Louise Madden (2006-2011)

Louise’s association with St Joseph’s College spans over many years, from her involvement as a parent of four boys, to her more recent role as coordinator of LOTE and teacher of Italian and R.E. Louise joined SJC in 2006 and brought with her a wealth of knowledge of Italian culture, arts and history. She has actively shared her enthusiasm and passion for languages with both students and staff. Goodbye Louise and Buona Fortuna!!!!

GOOD LUCK AND FAREWELL 10

We will also be saying good bye and good luck to some of our contract teachers, Katharine Chapman and Natalie Rodgers.

To all members of staff who will not be returning in 2012, thank you all for your dedicated time, passion, commitment and service to the College. It has been much appreciated. We wish you all the best for the future.

Russell Zampatti L-R: Br Hewatt, John Loughnan, Russell Zampatti, Damian Moynihan, Br O’Farrell

Russell as a student in 1964

Our school community is in mourning as a consequence of the sudden death of long standing staff member Mr Russell Zampatti.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Russell has been a member of the SJC staff for the past 41 years and was a former student of the College. He was enrolled in 1963 (Form 4) and finishing in 1965.

He was involved in Cricket, Football and YCS. He was captain of the Second XI Cricket side for two years: 1964/65 and 1965/66 and Vice Captain the year before, 1963/64.

Russell’s wife Maureen has been a member of staff for the past 15 years mostly in our music department.

Most of the past 41 years Russell has held the position of Property Manager but his generosity and competence in so many different areas were legendary.

Russell was involved in the establishment of the St Joseph’s Football and Cricket Clubs and has supported our Mens Association and the weekly mens working bees for most of his time here.

Russell’s four sons Tim, Mark, John and Daniel were all educated at SJC and his only daughter Joanne is married to a member of staff.

Russell has been a role model for generations of St Joseph’s students. He was one of the most selfless people I have ever known. In addition to his work at St Joseph’s, Russell had a number of other significant community connections. Our main oval was named in his honour. Russell was awarded a Centenary Medal in 2000 to acknowledge his commitment to Australian sports.

SJC is grieving for the loss of their colleague and friend. God Bless.

Br Hewatt (dec) & Br O’Farrell used to work with Russell in ‘the Shed’ - now the woodwork centre I lived as a Christian Brother and taught at St Joseph’s for 5 wonderful years in the late 70s early 80s. Almost my first memory of St Joseph’s is of a trip with Russell to learn abseiling prior to my leading a ‘Bushcraft Leadership’ program as an activity at SJC. Russell gave his time, brought his family along and provided all the help and assistance he could to initiate me into this program. All out of ‘work hours’. He was always up for generous service of the SJC community, late at night, early on a Saturday morning, in any weather, any emergency at the school - he was always there, quietly leading us with skill and reliability. A wonderful man, a great family man and a deeply spiritual grace were characteristic of Russell. He was the contemplative before the presence of one so gifted was recognised as such a gift to school communities.

Blessings

“There are few who could measure up to his seemingly natural ability to prove that actions truly do speak louder than words.”

- Jo “He was generous beyond belief with his time, energy and decency.”

Phil Bates “Schools are not just about exam results or sporting achievements.

They are about people, and good schools have people that make others’ lives better for having known them. Phil was one such person.”

- Anthony Chapman

What stood out about Phil to his family and friends also stood out to his colleagues and his students – he was a man of many talents and gifts, and we are all grateful that we had the chance to share them with him in his time with us.

The first time I came across Phil was in my first week at St Joseph’s, Phil was providing the music at a staff liturgy, and I remember thinking “Wow; they take their liturgies pretty seriously here – they even bring in professional musicians!” I asked someone who the guy was and he said “Aw, that’s just Batesy – he teaches in the Primary section.” But he didn’t just teach – that would certainly sell him and his achievements short. He was an innovative and imaginative man who saw the potential in even the hardest of cases. He had a Masters in Maths, yet loved to work with the boys who found Maths most difficult. He displayed the patience and compassion that the boys needed to help them through a most challenging time of their education. He was always thinking up new ways of opening up the Gospel to his students, some that worked well, others that were not so hot. But you can never knock a guy for trying.

Boys would come into our office, see Phil, and end up talking about the time he taught their class. Phil would always remember their names, for students in a big school, it is always great to be known and remembered.

Phil’s impact was not just with the students he taught. He was a respected and much-loved staff member whose humour and openness brightened the day of all around him. He was a colleague, a confidant, a counsellor, a spiritual director, a teller of stories, someone who could listen when you needed someone to talk to.

Phil’s other great legacy to our school was his music.

At his farewell from St Joseph’s last year I made particular mention of it and the impact it has had on me. He had that songwriter’s talent for turning the mundane into something beautiful. His music portrays the things that are important to him: compassion, his relationship with God, welcoming

12

and hospitality, freedom, living out of the Gospel message.

I remember vividly the night he launched his CD. I saw a man on stage sharing not only his talents but also himself. He explained his songs, speaking of their motivations and inspirations, and in doing so allowing the audience to appreciate the deep feelings that went into each composition. He was the centre of attention, and yet at the same time humble and compassionate.

Phil’s legacy of his time at St Joseph’s will be his songs, his music will remain at St Joseph’s, a symbol of his talent, compassion, and love for his God. Phil once told me that whilst a student here at St Joseph’s, he had an ambition to join an order of missionary priests to save the world. I reckon we should be glad that did not happen, or else we may have missed out on something special.

I last saw him in Geelong Hospital. He was struggling to talk and looked very weak, and yet when he did speak it was to enquire about others, to make sure that they were alright, and then to tell myself and John Harmon what we meant to him. Some things will stay with you forever – this will for me.

I have been struggling to come to terms with the fact that Phil was called away from us way too early.

I can only assume that there was a board meeting in heaven, and that there was a complaint that things were getting a little dull around there. I can picture the Archangel Gabriel saying “What we need here is someone who can liven things up; who can sing from the heart with the words of a poet; who can make us laugh until we cry; who can be kind and gentle to all they meet; who can be a good mate.” And God must have said: “I know just the bloke you’re talking about”.

Phil will always be a part of everywhere he taught, and his memory will live on in all the young men and women who were privileged enough to have him as their teacher.

Anthony Chapman - Director of Mission

St Joseph’s College Foundation 2011 has been a year of deflection from Capital Appeal Projects to a reappraisal of core objectives of the St Joseph’s College Foundation.

Our Management Committee has revised its Investment Strategy, concentrating on a debt reduction program, and positioning the Foundation for future investments. Currently, our portfolio has a valuation in excess of $1.2 million dollars with our three completed Capital Appeals contributing a further $1 million to our College.

Our Development Sub Committee is busily finalising a terrific student entrepreneurial competition loosely labelled the ‘SEEDS’ Program, successful students and staff will be rewarded for their specific initiatives. The College has warmly embraced the concept, which will be launched in 2012.

We have revamped our Legacy Gift Giving Program with new flyers, which are proving very popular within our community. We have many ways of acknowledging our Benefactors, and we call upon everyone to consider how a legacy will continue the tradition of this wonderful College.

I’d like to acknowledge our new members to the Foundation, Sharon and Phil Gleeson. Their son Patrick completed his VCE in 2008; and more recently, Sean who finished in 2010. We are delighted to have them aboard.

It is with sadness we farewell teacher Phil Bates, and members Thomas Boyd and Russell Zampatti.

Our thoughts are with their families and friends during this reflective time. They will be sadly missed.

Phil Bates was a lovely bloke and much adored by his pupils. I was particularly humbled by Phil’s religious fervour through his Liturgical Music, accompanied by a most beautiful angelic voice.

of St Joseph’s College. And what more can be said about Russ Zampatti that hasn’t already been said!

A true legend! Would do anything for the College!

Had the front oval named after him. And of more recent times, what really left an indelible mark on myself, were the fantastic sets he built; for Stage Shows like “Cats” and “West Side Story”.

A great social plus for the School has been the reintroduction of the Annual College Ball. Numbers are definitely growing and next year should be an even stronger event. The Old Collegian’s Ad Alta Awards held during the evening was a fantastic innovation. Besides its interest factor, it gave the community a positive link with the past.

The Combined Catholic Colleges Raffle organised by the Foundation was successful once again this year. Over $50,000 worth of tickets were sold across the three schools. With funds raised going towards developing programs and facilities at St Joseph’s, Clonard and St Ignatius Colleges.

“A great social plus for the School has been the reintroduction of the Annual College Ball.

Numbers are definitely growing and next year should be an even stronger event.”

- Peter Rudd

I would like to acknowledge Lauren Salcombe for her great efforts in the production of the new College “Prospectus”. It is a great publication and overview of our magnificent College.

Lauren is the Development Assistant and Publications Coordinator, she is a great support to the formal administration of the Foundation.

On behalf of all members of the College Foundation, and our hard working committee of management, best wishes and good luck to all for 2012.

Old Collegians Association “For the first time in well over a decade the Reunion was held at the College.

The committee decided that with the extension to the Br O S Adams centre it was a good time to showcase the wonderful development of the college to its former pupils, giving them the opportunity to witness the improvements made since leaving school.”

- Peter Madden

The Old Collegians kicked off the start of 2011 with a reunion for the VCE class of 2010. Held on the lawns near the cricket pavilion, it afforded the new graduates the opportunity to catch up with their classmates and to find out what the 2011 year held. All who attended enjoyed the convivial atmosphere of conversation combined with pizza and a refreshing drink.

Professor Frank Larkins AM, Pat Bourke and Nick Maxwell were the recipients of the Ad Alta Awards which were presented at the Community Ball held in the Br O S Adams Centre. Ben Cassanella was Master of Ceremonies for the evening and interviewed each of the recipients as they received their award. The night was capped off by fine dining and dancing and all in attendance had a good night.

February is also the time for the Annual Golf Day held at 13th Beach Golf Club. Due to the efforts of the organising committee a record field once again had a fantastic game of golf on pristine fairways, with a few excursions into the rough, and manicured greens. A breakfast of bacon and egg roll and a glass of juice was prepared by the Sacred Heart Rowing Club volunteers with the players enjoying a gourmet barbeque lunch. This event is the major fundraiser for the Old Collegians and this year raised over $13,000. The funds raised through the golf day go towards the Old Collegians Bursary Fund which is used to help families send their son to SJC who otherwise could not afford the fees. Since its inception the Golf Day has raised over $150,000.

The Remembrance Mass for Deceased Old Collegians, Staff and Benefactors was held in November in the College Chapel. During this Mass the names of the deceased are remembered by a slide show on the chapel walls. After Mass those in attendance enjoyed afternoon tea in the College staffroom.

Next on the calendar was the Annual Reunion. For the first time in well over a decade the Reunion was held at the College. The committee decided that with the extension to the Br O S Adams centre it was a good time to showcase the wonderful development of the College to its former pupils, giving them the opportunity to witness the improvements made since leaving school. The venue proved to be perfect and with the collaboration of the Parents and Friends, who did the catering, any profit from the evening stayed with the College.

Of course none of these events would have happened if not for the work of the committee and College staff. I heartily thank Joe Virgona - co vice president, John Fitzgerald - co vice president, David McCusker – treasurer, Tom Bennett – secretary, Dean Bushell, Roger Hardwick, Jane Littore, Justin O’Brien, Sam O ‘Dwyer, Andrew Scaddan and Greg Thompson. I especially thank David Formosa for all the work he has put in to the Old Collegians and the help he has given to me and also to his assistant Lauren Salcombe for all she has done.

Golf Day 2011

Annual Reunion 2011

Parents & Friends Association This year was an interesting year for the Parents and Friends. We were blessed with many new members to our group. Our pocket sized leader, David Formosa did an excellent job encouraging us to take on new roles and challenges.

Our monthly meetings in the staffroom are fun with food and drinks to share. We thrash around ideas and come up with a plan for an event that involves some work, having fun, promoting our community and raising money for some well deserving causes.

At the beginning of the year we gave new parents an opportunity to come along and meet other new parents. There was a Ladies Wine and Cheese Night and a BBQ for Blokes Night. These were well attended and hopefully some new friendships were forged.

The Trivia Night’s new venue was the newly refurbished College Gym. The 200 or so that attended were skilfully transformed by colourful and clever outfits for the ‘P’ theme and the gym was suitably decorated. Tables were pitted against each other to win some of the great prizes there were on offer. Without doubt there were fun and games and trivia for all and a very enjoyable night.

This year the Parents and Friends provided hospitality for the Old Collegians Annual Reunion, that was a fun night! At one stage we thought we’d over catered. However, the boys waddled out of the reunion very satisfied customers with a promise to see us all again in another 5 years!

We saw the new basketball courts and fencing around O’Driscol Oval being built. That is a great new facility and one which the P&F has proudly funded. It is well used every day by our boys during lunchtimes and P.E. We provided $15,000 to the Edmund Rice Foundation, which will go towards our schools and medical clinic in Kenya and Tanzania.

The hard working team of the Art Expo again provided an excellent show for the whole community to enjoy. The calibre of our local artists is amazingly high and I think it is always a delight to attend this function and be greeted by friendly faces whilst enjoying a glass of wine and excellent food.

Having fun at the Trivia Night

Another first was catering for the TriUMPH Festival.

Whew!! How daunting that prospect looked when David first encouraged us to take it on. Really, feeding the 5,000 was a breeze! When you have some clever people in the P&F group who could work out just what and how to cater for all those secondary school boys and girls! Of course, the other schools also provided some food and drinks too. It was a great day. Fantastic weather, expertly organised by the school leaders and the students were beautifully mannered and well behaved.

The Fashion Show again was a delightful event. The Pier as a venue lent itself as a beautiful forum for the night. Over 200 women saw excellent fashions being presented and everyone was engaged in food, wine and retail outlets, silent auctions and raffles. We were thrilled with the generosity of people who donated so much to The Edmund Rice Foundation in Africa. It is an enormous event,but it couldn’t happen without the dedicated Fashion Team who work so very hard to make it such a successful one.

This is the second year we’ve funded a basic CPR and First Aid training day for the Year 12 boys.

Personally, I think this is a brilliant innovation. For the boys who choose to attend, they are given a potentially life-saving gift they may not have ever have been given.

“Another first was catering for the TriUMPH Festival.

Whew!! How daunting that prospect looked when David first encouraged us to take it on!

Really, feeding the 5,000 was a breeze! ” - Sam Teggelove

Our last event in the year is a happy one. The P & F are honoured to host a morning tea, for our amazing and conscientious staff. It is our chance to say thanks for the support of our events, but more importantly, thanks for the great job of teaching and nurturing our boys throughout their year at Joeys.

This year the P&F have been able to raise $25,500.

But, as always - this is achieved with a very small band of dedicated and hardworking people.

We are always open to new ideas and new members. Please feel free to come to any or all of our meetings - you will be made very welcome. A sincere thank you to all who have been involved in our events this year. They can’t happen without you.

The Fashion Show 15

The Men’s Association “Since Russell’s passing a few members have voiced the opinion that with Russell gone ‘this is the end of the Men’s Association’ I believe it is now up to us to continue the altruistic path that Russell followed and keep the legacy he began fortyone years ago strong.”

- Pierre Belluzzo

It saddens me to write my first Men’s Association report with the knowledge we have lost its best supporter, Russell Zampatti.

To borrow a thought expressed by the St Joseph’s College grounds staff “no greater man has walked the grounds of St Joseph’s College than Russell”. His dedication and guidance were the force behind the success of the Men’s Association. Russ was a true gentleman and I was lucky to call him my friend. To Maureen and family thank you for sharing Russ with us.You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I have just recently been introduced to the term ‘Altruism’, while reading a book I received as a birthday gift. Altruism has been defined as a motivational state with the ultimate goal of increasing another’s welfare, an unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others. It is linked to giving, volunteering and performing acts of service to others. I have come to the conclusion that we are a very altruistic bunch at St Joseph’s College. The St Joseph’s College Foundation, Parents and Friends Association, Old Collegians Association, Josephine’s and Men’s Association just to name a few have been working tirelessly again this year.

In reviewing the last year for the Men’s Association I am amazed at the amount of work that has been accomplished at the school with our faithful band of men. We performed various tasks under the ever watchful eye of Russell.

Tasks such as, the regular set up for school assemblies each month, the regular setup and pack up for the Annual Art Show, packing up after the Parents and Friends functions in the gym, the ongoing cleaning of lockers, the Quad and pathways around the College.

The major project for the year has been the continuing landscaping around the Gym especially around the Carey Oval side with the

16

planting of trees. As well as the above we also carried out all the small tasks Russell set us that make our hours at the College so eventful.

The work load is always shared between our four teams on a roster basis and I would like to thank all our members for their great effort this year. A special thank you to the team Captains.

The College grounds are looking a treat.

A final thought that has come to mind is that research shows that altruistic behaviour does increase happiness and wellbeing. This may explain the smile of contentment that was often seen on Russell’s face. Since Russell’s passing a few members have voiced the opinion that with Russell gone “this is the end of the Men’s Association”. I believe it is now up to us to continue the altruistic path that Russell followed and keep the legacy he began forty-one years ago strong.

Looking forward to another productive year at the College in 2012.

Pierre Belluzzo - President Men’s Association

Josephines It’s hard to believe we’re at the end of another year.

The year started with our first gathering in autumn at Truffleduck Balmoral Receptions in Fyansford.

It was a magnificent setting and provided a party atmosphere for the 110 plus mothers, staff and friends, the largest gathering we have ever had of the Josephines. We warmly welcomed many new mums and friends.

We enjoyed champagne on arrival and a chance to mingle, after which we moved into the beautifully appointed function room for a delicious two course meal. Our hostess and Josephine, Deb Nash, and her staff catered to our every need.

Our Principal, Paul Tobias, welcomed all present and reiterated the importance of our Josephines in keeping our mothers and staff, both past and present, connected to the College, whilst welcoming new friendships from the wider community. Paul also spoke of College developments and how all our volunteer groups play such an important part in keeping the Edmund Rice spirit alive at St Joseph’s College Geelong.

Even though we are primarily a friendship group it was pleasing to hear from Mark Turner, Educational Support Coordinator, who thanked the Josephines for their ongoing financial support. Mark gave an outline of how our contributions are used to support College students with special needs.

It was great we were able to share news and updates, some sad, but most happy and exciting events in our lives. There was ample opportunity throughout the night to catch up with old friends, make new friends and enjoy the fun and frivolity that a night such as this allows.

For our October gathering we changed the format and made it a “Spring Adventure” to Queenscliff for the day, giving 55 ladies the opportunity to wander the streets and explore the new development in the harbour precinct. We had an early start with nibbles and refreshments on the bus before meeting at midday at one of our favourite venues, the magnificent Vue Grand. We were treated like royalty, the food and service was first class.

After lunch Jenny Parrot, Educational Support Staff Member, addressed the group outlining the work being done throughout the College with boys who most need assistance. Jenny thanked the ladies for their support, we were able to raise approximately

$1200.00 for the College Educational Support Program. This year the money was used to support our Indigenous/African students.

Whilst the day was uplifting in one way, we were all so very sad with the sudden death of Maureen Zampatti’s husband, Russell. Both are an integral part of St Joseph’s College. Before we boarded the bus, we took time to stand on the Barry McFarlane Pavilion balcony overlooking the Russell Zampatti Oval to reflect on the awesome presence and influence that Russell has had on our College over 40 years.

The College has experienced much sadness this year with the loss of parents and another past staff member, Phil Bates. No doubt many of you have experienced loss, sadness or illness throughout the year. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you cope with all that life brings.

Our thanks go to College Development Manager, David Formosa and his talented assistant Lauren Salcombe for preparing our correspondence and constantly supporting us in all we do.

We warmly welcome all past mums, staff and friends to join us for our get togethers next year. Thank you all for being a part of our Josephines in 2011 and we wish you all a very happy and peaceful new year.

“It was great we were able to share news and updates, some sad, but most happy and exciting events in our lives. There was ample opportunity throughout the night to catch up with old friends, make new friends and enjoy the fun and frivolity that a night such as this allows.”

- Kate Parke & Jane Rodgers

This has been an extremely sad year for our College with a number of parents and staff illness and bereavements. We have been able to assist approximately 12 families throughout the year. They are most appreciative of the support the College can offer through this group.

From the Archives Saturday 1October 2011 was really St Joseph’s College Day. This was the day of the AFL Grand Final between Geelong and Collingwood. Perhaps for the first time ever (or certainly in many many years), the captains of both clubs were educated at the same school; namely this College. So the one certainty was that a former St Joseph’s College student was to hold up the Premiership Cup at the end of this game.

Cameron Ling (1998 College graduate) fulfilled his dream of being a Geelong Football Club Premiership Captain, whilst Nick Maxwell (2001) had already held up the Premiership Cup last year when Collingwood was victorious. Now St Joseph’s College can claim to have educated the last two AFL Premiership Captains. But that’s not all; the Norm Smith Medallist for best on ground at this year’s Grand Final, Jimmy Bartel (2001) was also educated at St Joseph’s College. There must have been something in the water at the College in the 1990s.

Naturally, Paul Tobias would like to also stress that the College offers other opportunities for a career in the areas of Academia, Politics, Business, Music and the Arts. But in this football-mad state, it is the statistics including the background of AFL footballers, which is important to the fans of the game.

Supporters of football (and of this College) can take

stock of all the former students who played VFL/ AFL football with Geelong over the years, starting with Bill McMaster and including the great Leo Turner as well as Andy Monahan, Leo O’Halloran, Damien Bourke, John Scarlett, Jim Fitzgerald, Mark Neeld, Russel Merriman, Michael Mansfield, Barry Stoneham, Michael Woolnough and of course the brilliant full back Matthew Scarlett (1996) who also played in this year’s Grand Final. Former students who went onto play for other VFL/AFL clubs include Brian Boland (Richmond), Gerard McDonald (South Melbourne), Joel Reynolds (Essendon) and of course, Nick Maxwell (Collingwood). My apologies if I have left anyone off this list.

“It is times such as a Grand Final that an Archive is consulted for photographs or articles of former students. On file in the SJC Archive is a photograph that includes both Nick Maxwell and Jimmy Bartel when they were in Year 8 Red in 1997.

This was the only form they were together; perhaps a rivalry had just commenced.”

Building Works Since acquiring the western portion of O’Driscol Oval, the College has proceeded to install a half basketball court suitable for student use as well being available for use by the wider community.

The College was fortunate to receive a significant contribution towards the cost of this facility from the Parents and Friends Association through their various fundraising efforts.

Whilst on the subject of O’Driscol Oval, the College has also planned for the development of a car park which will, when constructed, be fully sealed and able to accommodate fifty vehicles. Work on the car park is expected to be completed in time for the 2012 school year.

As the College continues to experience growth in enrolment numbers the opportunity was taken to explore the possibility of creating a Year 9 campus at an alternative site. One site that has been identified is the old Western Heights Secondary College in Minerva Road. An approach has been made to the Government to purchase this site with Clonard College and seek a subdivision into two lots enabling

the College to accommodate all Year 9 students on one lot. The second lot would be incorporated into Clonard College thus enabling access to much needed space. An alternative Year 9 program is currently being developed for students with greater emphasis on applied learning. The College awaits a decision from the Government on the purchase.

Tenders were sought for the construction of new access stairs to Carey Oval. Planning is also underway to construct a small shelter on Carey Oval. It is expected that these works will be undertaken over the summer break and will be ready for use by the start of the 2012 school year.

During 2011 the College also installed new football goal posts and a barrier net at the northern end of Carey Oval. Other works included a minor upgrade to the Library including the creation of new reading areas, tinting of windows and creation of a new audio visual area which is better able to service student and staff needs.

“The greatest pride I felt as captain came simply through talking to students, staff, families, old boys and guests, and whenever I was given the opportunity to share my pride in and love for this school. For me, leadership is and will continue to be about the small things – from a well-placed smile to the picking up of rubbish to simply having the time for someone who needs it, leadership is so much more than the speeches, the fanfare and the fancy (but oh so beautiful) tie.”

College Captain’s Report As I was inducted as College Captain just over a year ago, the only piece of advice anyone seemed to have for me was to make the most of my final year, as it was going to fly straight past me. I’ll be honest, while there have been times when it’s seemed like I’ve been on some sort of weird roller coaster, with no time to slow down – or to study, for that matter – when I look back to where I was a year ago, it seems like both a world and eternity away from where I am now – and I can firmly thank leadership for this. I can only hope to, as both an individual but most importantly, as part of the leadership team, have had a fraction of the impact upon this school as it has had upon me.

From the Swimming Sports to the Athletics Carnival – Butler once again failed to win either of them, making my six years at SJC fruitless in terms of trophies – 2011 brought a renewed sense of rivalry and excitement back to the events. Edmund Rice day saw a record amount of money raised for the Ruben Centre in Kenya, and Edmund Rice Camps across Victoria, as well as being a great chance for students to have fun, some donning sumo suits while others settled for watching the annual staff vs. students Gaelic football match.

The leadership team was part of all these events, and so much more – from last year’s Movember to the 40 Hour Famine to Shave For A Cure (One of the more major changes I’ve seen this season…) to Footy Colours Day to the new tennis tournament to the first of hopefully many Marngrook Football matches, the leadership team has thrust itself headfirst into any challenge or event it came across.

For the Year 12s, the Cage was once again a huge success; this year’s addition of food was much favoured by the boys involved, who were advocating for a mature, informed discussion on Australia’s asylum seekers, free of the scapegoating, mudslinging and fear-mongering that is seemingly overwhelming in our media and parliament.

It’s a real credit to the boys involved, and especially to Mr Nicholls who, in his first year as leadership coordinator, brought with him a fresh and professional perspective to leadership, and worked tirelessly to ensure our dreams became a reality.

On a personal level, I did my best to have my hand in as many activities, events and ideas as I could.

While my role wasn’t always standing up the front and looking pretty (although I did my fair share of that as well!), I found that ensuring others in the team were able to achieve what they wanted to was just as important as achieving my own goals.

The TriUMPH Music Festival was definitely a highlight for me. Having worked as part of the committee for over twelve months, and having seen the magnitude of work my fellow students put into the occasion, there was no greater reward than a beautiful clear sky, great music and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from students and staff amazed at the event.

But while Tri-UMPH was certainly something to be proud of, I personally believe my greatest achievements came in my everyday life as College Captain. Sure, as captain, I sung unaccompanied in front of 1500 people (they say you should have no regrets, but I’m not so sure…), I admitted that my emotions got the better of me while watching Titanic and I hope to have left my mark on the school through the introduction of the only prestigious Year 12 award to be voted on by students. Without a doubt, the greatest pride I felt as captain came simply through talking to students, staff, families, old boys and guests, and whenever else I was given the opportunity to share my pride in and love for this school. For me, leadership is and will continue to be about the small things – from a well-placed smile to the picking up of a piece of rubbish to simply having the time for someone who needs it, leadership is so much more than the speeches and the fanfare and the fancy (but oh so beautiful) tie. For this discovery, I have only my experiences as College Captain and the people I have met to thank.

David Cann - College Captain 2011

Student Leaders Leadership has been an important part of my schooling at St Joseph’s. I’ve always been encouraged to try give back to my school by my parents, but little did I know that it was in fact the school giving back to me the day I was first chosen to be part of the Year 9 leadership team. Since then I have never looked back, trying my best to have input in the school that plays such a large role in my life.

Leadership isn’t only giving back to your school, but it also provides you with the best platform to realise and develop your own sense of maturity, personality and beliefs. This occurs largely due to the sense of community and social justice that is developed at school and put in practice through the opportunities provided with the responsibility of leadership. The leadership program at Joeys hasn’t changed too much over the years, and in my final year it has provided me some normality amongst the stresses of Year 12. The leadership team has always consisted of like-minded community driven men. If you believe you know someone or you may be that someone who has what it takes, to take on the responsibilities of leadership, then don’t shy away from lunch time meetings or what others’ preconceptions about being a leader are, take the challenge and you will, as I was, be surprised by the man you will become.

Strive for the Highest isn’t just our school motto, but something that can be accomplished at school through proactive participation within leadership.

Jack Mitchell - Foley House Captain 2011 2011 was a very busy year for the leadership team, with wonderful ideas and initiatives being developed and put into action before the year even started.

We carried out all the usual activities, from Athletics Day and Swimming Sports to Edmund Rice Day, and succeeded in making them great and left our own legacy on them. We also had the introduction of a new event that ran once a term called the Peter Larkin’s run, which gained popularity throughout the year and became a successful event that heated things up with regards to the house competition.

Another new event was the Cleanup Challenge, where each house cleaned up the yard and the one that gathered the most rubbish won. With

the House Captains and Deputies going around at lunch, it definitely stirred up some House spirit and competition, especially amongst the younger boys. The leadership team also focussed on raising funds and awareness for poverty and hunger with events such as The Cage, the 40 hour famine and the biggest one of all: TriUMPH, which raised thousands of dollars. Aside from the larger scale activities, we continued to hold smaller events for various year levels, including volleyball and tennis competitions. It was a very productive, busy and eventful year and we look forward to making next year bigger and better.

Alex Gulli - Year 11 Not in living memory have the qualities of sportsmanship, tenacity and endurance, held in such high esteem in our school, been displayed so prominently on the Australian national stage as at this year’s AFL Grand Final.

No fewer than five of our former students fought out the battle for football’s holy grail – the Premiership Cup, in miserable cold, showery conditions in the great sporting arena of the MCG watched by a stadium crowd of 99,537.

The former St Joseph’s college students were: Geelong Captain Cameron Ling, not too old, not too slow, instead sealing the match with a powerful goal in the final minutes.

Multi medalled Jimmy Bartel – the boy from Bell Park who became pride of the cats.

The solid final line of defence provided by one of the game’s all-time greatest fullbacks – Matthew Scarlett in his 6th year as All Australian.

The fearlessness and speed provided by the exuberant youth of our former Jordan House captain – Allen Christensen.

The Collingwood side had their own fearless leader, former student Nick Maxwell – fighting hard in defence yet noble in defeat with head held high in his gracious post-match address.

“ I’ve always been encouraged to try give back to my school by my parents, but little did I know that it was in fact the school giving back to me the day I was first chosen to be part of the Year 9 leadership team. Since then I have never looked back, trying my best to have input in the school that plays such a large role in my life.”

triUMPH Festival “This concert was to be the biggest youth gathering/ concert ever seen in Geelong perhaps Victoria, organised by youth for youth to raise much needed funds for youth in East Timor.”

- Simon Cahir

A GEELONG CATHOLIC SCHOOLS SUCCESS STORY

In June 2010 myself and a handful of St Joseph’s College leaders met and discussed the prospect of another TriUMPH. The Senior Leaders of the 4 Catholic Colleges met over a biscuit and orange juice at A Wing and A Prayer, smiling at each other and wondered could they get the Principals to agree to yet another concert.

As we chatted I thought are these students the right ones for this task? They will be in charge of a budget over $70,000. They will be hiring contractually professional bands, establishing multiple stages, creating a risk assessment document, ensuring first aid and traffic control is established, making sure there were sufficient food vans and all food handling requirements were met, sanitation for 5,500 people and importing 5000 wrist bands from East Timor. The enthusiasm and energy from that first meeting was electric, these were no ordinary leaders I could tell.

So together we embarked on a journey for the next 12 months to create a concert that would surpass the previous TriUMPH and prove our Principal’s faith in us was justified. This concert was to be the biggest youth gathering/concert ever seen in Geelong perhaps Victoria, organised by youth for youth to raise much needed funds for youth in East Timor.

For the next 12 months the students met every week. Throughout the holidays, through their exams and SAC’s, through driving lessons, 18th birthday parties, cases of the flu, glandular fever and everything else life could throw at them, but they battled on.

All this was done by a group of students who had no prior skills or knowledge of event management and had only the help of a handful of staff who believed in them. I would especially like to thank Maria Lukesic from SHC and Julie Whelan from Clonard College for their drive and enthusiasm, without them the task would have been so much harder.

And so it was that TriUMPH indeed was a triumph. It raised over $35,000, was a well

22

run peaceful and exciting social discourse with students learning by osmosis that they CAN make a difference to world poverty and that they CAN achieve wonderful things. It was a triumph also because it taught the school community that today’s youth can be trusted to organise and act responsibly.

These students are not the rabble the media would lead and like us to believe but rather they have a wonderful social conscience and when given the opportunity respond in an equally responsible manner as was seen on the day. There was not a SINGLE poor response from over 5,500 attending regarding their behaviour.

Mr Simon Cahir - On behalf of the organising Tri UPMH Committee ( Tri UMPH - Trienially United to Make Poverty History)

TRIUMPH On 2 September, one of the greatest charity events in the history of Geelong schools occurred at St Joseph’s College. TriUMPH, a TRI-annual meeting of schools united to ‘Make Poverty History’. Schools included: St Joseph’s, Sacred Heart, Clonard and St Ignatius. The day was a mixture of music, mingling and good fun. The music was headlined by some quality local acts, including: The Rustys and Sambrose Automobile. It was also a great chance for school bands and promising young DJs to show their talent and flair. The day was a fantastic opportunity for us to socialise with friends and meet new people. In the end, it was a huge success, raising over $35,000 for people who are living in less fortunate conditions than us. The overall success of the day was a huge credit to the amazing leaders from all four schools involved, and I speak on behalf of not just my Year Level, but my school, when I say that it was one of the proudest days in St Joseph’s history, and a perfect representation of what St Joseph’s is all about.

Year 7 This year we welcomed the largest cohort of students in the history of the College. With 273 boys arriving on Orientation Day in the previous year, I can remember looking at Mrs Brown and saying, ‘geez, there’s a mob of them!’ Even though our numbers have grown, I can only say... there are just more of them to love! Well, I can hardly believe that the year has passed us by and those wide-eyed, excited boys are today, self-assured and independent young men about to move into the Middle Years of St Joseph’s. This group has both delighted and warmed my heart on so many occasions.

I would like to congratulate them on the manner in which they have looked out for one another and the positive way in which they have represented their families and the College. Their pride in being a St Joseph’s boy is evident and it is my deepest hope that in the coming years, they make the most of every opportunity that comes their way.

YEAR 7 RENEWALS In Term 2 the boys participated in their first Renewal Day. As a year level we thought it important to focus on the three guiding principles of our College; Compassion, Innovation and Integrity. During the day, the boys rotated through three sessions that aimed to develop a stronger understanding of these principles and how these embody the vision of our founder, Blessed Edmund Rice.

Edmund Rice calls us to be people of Compassion Edmund Rice looked around him and saw many injustices. He looked to the streets and saw many young boys who were homeless, uneducated and living on the edge of crime. These were the marginalised people of his times. Students listened to many historical accounts of our Indigenous heritage and were challenged to consider how their generation might continue to show compassion and awareness of Indigenous peoples.

Edmund Rice calls us to be people of Innovation Edmund Rice was a man who used his skills to solve problems. He encouraged his brothers to work with a single vision, to overcome obstacles and achieve a greater good for those marginalised in his society. Students were presented with physical challenges, requiring creativity, teamwork and persistence.

Edmund Rice calls us to be people of Integrity Edmund Rice’s life is a great example of striving for excellence. Whilst his ambition gained him extraordinary wealth, he used his achievements in selfless ways.

Former students shared experiences of working in service of others less fortunate and moments in their lives when they were challenged to be men of good moral character.

The program was a wonderful success and thanks must go to the team of homeroom teachers and staff who supported the day.

CAMP Year 7 camp held at Lake Dewar Lodge in Myrniong was another highlight. The food was great, the activities challenging and fun. The students soon learnt who the sharp shooters were in the game of Laser Tag and who the dare-devils were on the flying fox. Whilst rumours abounded the intentions of Mrs Bentley’s 5.45 am wake-up whistle, the truth of the matter is that seeing the kangaroos at sunrise, was an important part of the daily program. There were many ‘smaller creatures’ that appeared at camp, creating havoc and sleepless moments for some campers. Some boys even encountered a bee hive whilst on their gorge walk, became a tad curious and came off second best! The boys forged new friendships, developed skills they never thought they had and contributed to a positive experience for all.

SPORTING TEAMS Congratulations to the many boys who represented the year level throughout the year in a myriad of sports. It was fantastic to see the boys win the Year 7 football competition at Geelong Grammar under the direction of coaches Chapman and Bentley! It was equally as good as the Cats win! The bus ride home was euphoric!

“As your young man makes his journey into adolescence, he will need you no less tomorrow than he does today. Whilst he may grow tall and more independent and it may seem that he is a little further from your reach, it will be you who will show him how to reach out to others, to be kind and gentle, and how to become a fine young man.”

- Linda Bentley

MOTHERS’ DAY MASS This year’s Mothers’ Day Mass was once again a highlight of our year. It is my hope that many of you will extend your hearts and homes to the boys in this community. It is in your homes that we can shelter, nurture and nourish the talents of these fine boys. God bless you and your families now and always.

Year 8 “Another great part about the MCG was going right up to the very top of the stands. I have never been up that high out of all the times I’ve been there. It was ginormous.”

- Samuel Atkins Year 8

SUPER 8S CRICKET DAY

One exciting and challenging thing that’s happened during Year 8 is the Super 8s Cricket Day. Super 8s is a modified cricket game which involves 8 players, 8 overs and a small oval which makes the game highly enjoyable. This is because there is a lot more pressure when you are bowling and fielding to the opposition because the smaller ovals make it easier for you to hit more boundaries. The game is quite rapid, extremely fun and there is also the chance to score double runs if you hit up the ground. Both of our teams did really well and made the final but failed to succeed, by losing to Trinity and Christian College. I found Super 8s enjoyable because it was a good way to represent our school and a great way to meet new people. At the end of the day we were awarded with prizes which made it even better.

Christopher Mihicinac

YEAR 8 FOOTY

One of the most enjoyable events this year was playing footy against opposing schools at Geelong Grammar. The first riveting game we played was against Grammar and we won. It was a good effort considering we didn’t have the best team in. The teachers chose the team by kids who have a great attitude towards PE and have a crack. All the boys wanted to go home with the trophy and some bragging rights. We made the Grand Final against Grovedale College in an absolute ripper of a game that was fair and hard. We didn’t come home with the goods but all the boys felt they had a good day and somewhere during that day, a boy kicked an amazing goal by blind turning 3 opponents, selling candy and then kicking the goal from 30 metres out.

Another boy kicked 12 goals for the whole day. That was a memorable day for me.

Liam Littore

SOCIAL SPORTS WITH SHC

On 15 August half of the Year 8s from Sacred Heart College came to SJC to play social sports. Half of the SJC Year 8s went to SHC to play different sports. Me and a few other boys from my year level matched up against a few SHC girls. We mixed up the teams to

30

make it fair but some of the girls that I was in a team with were extremely talented at soccer. Another game we played was battle ball. That was better to play because I had a lot more fun and my group joined in with the other students. By the end of the day I had made good friendships and had a wonderful time socialising with the SHC girls.

Samuel Threlfall

CITY EXPERIENCE

In the second week of Term 2 the Year 8s went to Melbourne each day for Activities Week. Each class went to the MCG, Eureka Tower, The Melbourne Aquarium and The Shrine of Remembrance. Some classes even got to go to the Museum or the Old Melbourne Gaol. My favourite place was the MCG because even though I have been there heaps of times, there are a lot of other things there that you can’t see. Underground there is a museum with achievements of famous footy and cricket players which was pretty cool and I learned a few things about sports people that I never knew. Another great part about the MCG was going right up to the very top of the stands. I have never been up that high out of all the times I’ve been there. It was ginormous.

Samuel Atkins

EXAMS

Exams this year were frightening for most of us.

As we were preparing for our first exams, tensions were high and feelings of angst and excitement were through the roof. The last three days leading up to the exams were the hardest days I’ve had at St Joseph’s yet. The biggest fear for almost everyone was failing or getting an extremely low score. On the last day, preparation was intense. There was a lot of rote learning (repetitive learning) for subjects like Italian and English. To anyone that is about to go into an exam, take your time outside of school to do extra preparation so that you know exactly what you need to do. Personally, I did okay on the exams and next time I know that I should prepare myself better and take more time to do the things that are needed, instead of the things that I want to do.

Year 9 “We enjoyed rock climbing and abseiling the most because it was something most of us hadn’t done before and provided us with challenges both physical and mental as well as lots of laughter at the expense of mates.”

- Jack Driver & Thomas Scott Year 9

YEAR 9 GRAMPIANS CAMP

At the beginning of May,Year 9 set off for the Grampians with bags and eskies overflowing with essentials.

Setting up our tents proved to be more difficult than expected due to the weather conditions being so cold, wet and windy. After this, we went on the first of many bush hikes where we trekked to the top of the Pinnacle. From here, we could see for miles all the bushland and neighbouring townships.

The week was jam-packed with activities like canoeing, rock climbing, abseiling, mountain bike riding, initiatives, several hikes to different parts of the Grampians as well as a visit to the Brambuk Cultural Centre to learn more about the heritage and boomerang throwing. We enjoyed rock climbing and abseiling the most because it was something most of us hadn’t done before and provided us with challenges both physical and mental as well as lots of laughter at the expense of mates.

Cooking proved to be quite a challenge for everyone as there was only the one fire pit to cook on. Team work and patience was needed for this to operate effectively. The chicken schnitzels cooked by Michael Kakouros were the envy of the rest of the group.

Overall, the camp gave us the opportunity to get to know other blokes better and to experience new challenges as a group. We both think we’ll remember the camp for a long time to come.

Jack Driver and Thomas Scott, 9H

RENEWALS

At the end of Term 3, all Year 9s participated in Renewals. The aim of the two day reflection was to do just that – reflect on our lives and think about the impact we are having in the global community as well as looking at relationships and what it means to be a man.

The year level was split in two and used two venues – Torquay Surf Life Saving Club and School. The boys at Torquay

36

delved into personal reflection on relationships while the other half worked with the team from Amberley (Edmund Rice Camp leaders) and focused on Refugees, Climate Change, Homelessness and Indigenous Issues. We swapped over at the end of Day 1 so we could all experience the different topics.

At Torquay, we looked at the qualities of a man and what it takes to become an upstanding role model.

Qualities like trust, leadership, generosity and friendliness among others are all important traits for relationships.

While we were at school, we learnt more about the Carbon Tax and our impact we have on carbon emissions through our carbon footprint. To add to this, my class delved into researching about refugees and the dire living conditions they endure in the hope of starting a new and better life in Australia.

The two days were very informative and helped me to learn a lot about myself and others.

Damien McMahon, 9B

YEAR 9 LEADERS REPORT

The Year 9 Level Leaders this year have been working towards a goal of raising money for a sports shed for a school in Mannya. We have been in contact with the Cotton On Foundation, who have fully supported our aim. The sports shed was an idea originally conceived when it was noted by Cotton On when they last had representatives in Mannya that some of the schools they visited had lots of sports equipment, but it got ruined quickly because there was not enough storage space. So on 17 November this year, our Year level held a “Masquerade” social with the Year 9s from Clonard College in the Gym, in which all those in attendance had to wear a creative mask. The event was a great success, with some very imaginative and welldesigned masks worn by some of the boys.

Year 10 “Earlier in the year, students volunteered their Sunday mornings to participate in the Red Shield Door Knock Appeal.The early morning didn’t seem to dampen any spirits as students enthusiastically took to the streets of Newtown to collect needed money for the Salvation Army. It was a very rewarding feeling knowing that you are making a positive contribution to those less fortunate” - Jake Sykes Year 10

CAREERS WEEK

and we also found two dead frogs that we took back to the lab. Our next activity was to set frog traps in dams. Just before we went to bed, we checked our frog traps to see if we got anything and then we went for a spot light around the farm. We saw possums, foxes and rabbits. The next morning we went to see a presentation about birds of prey and learnt about eagles and falcons. After that our last activity was to go to the shearing shed to see how it worked and we got to watch them ultrasound sheep to see if they were pregnant. It was a great experience and insight and we learnt heaps in the two days we were there.

From 1-5 of August, St Joseph’s College middle school students participated in Careers Week - a week of seminars, guest speakers and activities designed to assist us in making educated decisions about our careers and education. For the students of Year 10, the final years of secondary school are fast approaching and beyond that, the real world and our adult lives.

Careers week was a great chance for those who know what career path they want to take, to explore their options. For those of us who have no idea, it helped us to explore the possibilities and find inspiration.

The week began with many teachers outlining the choices available in Years 11 and 12, from VCE choices, VCAL, apprenticeships and trades; we were informed of all possibilities. Later in the week we took part in the ‘Shape Your Destiny’ seminar, in which we were taught techniques for goal setting and the seizing of dreams and aspirations. The week concluded with guest speakers from many different occupations and walks of life. The guests talked to us about careers, the paths they took and the many opportunities available to us. All these activities opened our eyes to the complexities of the workforce and the need for flexibility and determination in the outside world.

Overall, it was a great, informative experience, which had an impact on the choices of the many boys.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Christian Hayes

Daniel O’Halloran

Ayden Green St Joseph’s College is known for helping the community. This year,Year 10 classes went out to Old Age Care centres to spend time with the elderly as part of our community service. Boys would sit down and either play games or have a chat with the residents. Some boys got involved in games with the residents playing poker and getting quite involved over the course of our visits. Some of the other boys, who played instruments in our class, were asked if they would play some music. The residents loved it and the boys had a few requests by the time it came to our last visit. It was overall a great experience.

CONSERVATION & LAND SOCIAL WITH SACRED HEART MANAGEMENT TRIP TO NARMBOOL On 11 August,Year 10s from both Sacred Heart and On 12 & 13 May, the Ad Alta Conservation & Land Management class went on a camp to Narmbool, just outside of Ballarat. We all got to school, bags packed ready to go. We were eager to get there and start work and learn some new stuff. We got there about 10:30, by which time we were all wondering where Mr Morrissey was taking us. It turned out to be a farm in the middle of nowhere and it rained nonstop for our first day there. The first activity was to walk about 5km to this aboriginal hut that was built ‘way back’ by the past land owners. They showed us some aboriginal art work and explained to us what the painting meant. On our way back to the cabins we saw a swamp wallaby

St Joseph’s, gathered at the Italian Club for a Social.

It was a bit of a slow start, but once the music got going, everyone got into the partying mood and had some fun. Later in the night, we had a special guest appearance from DJ Aaron Green that really seemed to get everyone pumped. When the night finally ended, it seemed that no one really wanted to leave as we had such a great night. Many new friendships were formed and it was a great night for old friends to meet up again.

Year 11 “I have absolutely enjoyed spending another year with such a great group of guys and have memories that I will remember forever. No matter what happens next year I believe I am ready to face Year 12 with the foundations made and life skills learnt.”

- Daniel Brugman Year 11

GUIDING YEAR 11

The transition to Year 11 can be quite difficult for some students. The rigorous nature of VCE subjects, the physical demands of the VET and VCAL program, to the stresses of finding the right mix of sport, social life and study. However, all the boys have adapted well and are looking forward to the completion of their secondary schooling in 2012.

The year level is filled with a diverse range of fantastic musicians, artists, academics and sporting enthusiasts. This was evident through the amount of overseas trips and personal achievements that numerous students obtained throughout the year.

For example: Daniel Brugman was selected from 450 applicants for a scholarship to attend the ICL Leadership Academy in Vancouver, Canada; Nick Cooper, Jackson Kol and Matt Karpinski, represented the college at the World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain; Tom Henry competed in the Commonwealth Junior Games in The Isle of Man, United Kingdom, where he secured a silver medal in the high jump; Louis Godsell competed in the Oceania Games in New Zealand in his chosen pursuit of Rockclimbing; and Matt Hunt competed in the Supernational Karting titles in Las Vegas, USA. I would like to acknowledge the fantastic effort displayed by all these students and I look forward to hearing more about their travels as time goes on.

As a group they have also been impeccable role models for the younger year levels. Their behaviour and attendance at the SJC Athletics and Swimming Carnivals was a credit to the students. Edmund Rice Day and TriUMPH Festival were other examples of the compassion and empathy this year level has for the disadvantaged, by the level of sponsorship that was raised by the Year 11s.

Homeroom teachers have been an integral part of the year level and have displayed great support to the boys and myself throughout the year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all. I would also like to thank all Year 11 subject teachers who have supported, encouraged and nurtured these students during the year of school.

48

On a more personal note I have enjoyed getting to know the students this year and am looking forward to guiding them through the challenging obstacles that they will have to endure, completing their final year of schooling.

Mr Michael Timms - Year Level Coordinator

YEAR 11 2011

2011 was a year to cherish at St Joseph’s College for its opportunities, friendships and education as we grow into young men. A year in which we had the opportunity to step up in college life as seniors and as role models.

As Year 11 students we have strived to act as seniors for the school community to look up to and show young and upcoming students all there is to know about being a “Joeys Boy”. A year in which most Year 11 students got their first taste of VCE and the expectations placed upon us preparing for greater things. A year in which Year 11s have had amazing trips travelling the globe and remarkable individual performances.

This year surpassed my greatest expectations, provided me with a vision for the next chapter of my life and the foundations through subjects to achieve it. I have realised the importance of teachers and the phenomenal level of support and help they provide.

I believe I am now ready to challenge myself in Year 12 and have the support of the teachers behind me.

I have gained essential knowledge in community service, subject classes and the SJC careers week to guide me.

2011 will stay close to my heart, with the passing of my Year 7 homeroom teacher. Mr Bates, a teacher who truly believed in me and that I could succeed.

Mr Bates opened my eyes to the lighter side of life and faith. I will miss him dearly.

I have absolutely enjoyed spending another year with such a great group of guys and have memories that will last forever. No matter what happens next year I believe I am ready to face Year 12 with the foundations made and life skills learnt.

“The question of how you wanted to be remembered when you finished at St Joseph’s was put to you at the start of Year 11 and it’s always interesting observing what emerges: how you respond to the challenges of study, responsibility, relationships, community and justice in a Catholic setting.

We feel really proud of the final product.

As a group you are energetic, compassionate, diverse, loyal, creative and a wonderful example for everyone who comes after you.

You embody everything that is great about our school community.”

- Ric Brodrick & Monika Ercoli

Year 12 YEAR 12 FAREWELL So, for the 77th time in this school’s history, the group of senior boys face the end of their academic year, and the end of their lives at SJC. Each graduating group has left its own mark upon their school; their own legacy, if you will. While you might not realise it, you walk the path, sit in the classroom and grow in the school forged by generations of Joey’s Boys, and it is the legacy of each and every one of them that makes this school what it is today.

In a similar way, the boys that sit before you, the Joey’s Boys of 2011, they will leave their own mark, and their own unique legacy on this school.You won’t see this mark; there won’t be some giant sign that says “this is our legacy,” but it will be there, and the Year 12s of 2011 will not be forgotten.

I think I can safely say, with great pride, that our year level has been one of the most accepting and encouraging of diversity this school has ever seen.

There’s very few places in the world where people of entirely different backgrounds, opinions and hairstyles can not only tolerate each other as well, but actually get along as well as the Year 12 area this year. Leading the way for diversity in not just assemblies and events, but every day in class and at recess and lunch, this year level has been a pioneer for acceptance. There’s no way I could stand up here and sing, or admit that I cried in Titanic, or relate everything to Star Wars, or even think of walking around with the name “Sparkles” on by back without knowing that I’d have the backing and support of my mates and my year level, and I have only them to thank – ok, maybe I should blame them a little too – for their tolerance and acceptance, which I hope has been passed down the school to you as well.

The boys of 2011 are a pretty handy lot. Not only extremely talented, these men are people to look up to and admire. Sure, we’re not perfect, but the pride that these boys have continually shown in their school, the enthusiasm they have displayed to “strive for the highest,” and achieve their best in whatever they do, be it football, academia, theatre, or dare I say it, singing the school song, and the absolute courage and commitment they have shown as a year level to be accepting and encouraging of the differences that make us uniquely individual; these reasons are why I am full of pride to call each and every one of them a fellow Joey’s Boy, and a fellow man at that.

So there you go. That’s the legacy of the Year 12s of 2011. We’ve paved the way for a more accepting and diverse culture, and we’ve done our work. It’s up to you to continue it. To not pay out the kid because he’s hard-core Catholic, or because his nickname’s Sparkles, or because he cried in “Titanic”, or because he likes Star Wars or because his girlfriend freely admits she would dump him for Edward Cullen – that’s your duty.

But, just as importantly, what kind of legacy do you plan on leaving? Will you be that year level that did nothing but muck up? Will you be the year level that succeeded in trashing every area you ever had at lunch time? Will you be the year level that really didn’t bother striving for the highest, who settled for second best, who really couldn’t care about SJC, to whom “pride” meant nothing? Because you could be.

There’s nothing stopping you. But you could just as easily be remembered as that year who was keen to do their absolute best, the year level who took real pride in their school, a year level of true Joey’s Boys.

Your legacy starts today, boys. So, what’s it going to be?

College Captain’s Final Address to the student body David Cann - College Captain 2011

Year 12 GROWING UP An excerpt from a Graduation Mass reflection, This morning, the SJC graduating class of 2011, attended our last day of school at St Joseph’s College; our Celebration Day. After much speculation, it was decided that the theme for the day would be ‘Things we grew up with’. At this point we reflected on our 90s and early noughties childhoods and our experiences ‘growing up’. These are just some of things that came to mind.

At what point do you stop growing up? Growing up is learning from your mistakes. Growing up is absorbing and understanding the world around you. Growing up is becoming the kind of person you want to be. Growing up is accumulating new knowledge and trying new things. Growing up is not only learning about the world around you, but learning about yourself. Growing up is making that decision to live life, and not simply pass through it.

Growing up is taking responsibility for your actions.

Growing up is admitting when you are wrong and fixing your mistakes. Growing up is having the courage to act when you want to act, jump when you want to jump, make life what you want to make of it. Growing up is standing up for your beliefs, and supporting other who share those beliefs.

Whether you have been shaped by the things you have be taught, the values you have been shown or the people you have met as a student at SJC, your life has been influenced in a way that would have been impossible had you have been anywhere else other than Joeys. We will look back on our time here and we will recognise it as a place where we have done possibly our most significant growing up of all; but never forget; you are still growing up. And you will continue to grow up until the very end, because life is growing up.

- Peter Walsh

The Places You’ll Go “You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”

- Dr Seuss (Graduation Mass reflection read by Alex Lourey)

Community Service Community Service at St Joseph’s continued its big leap forward this year as students and staff began to see it as “what we do here”, an integral part of our Catholic Identity.

A highlight for the year was the assistance provided to seniors in our community when learning how to use mobile phones. Twenty students from Years 10 and 12 cheerfully helped at a Telstra event aimed at teaching seniors the basics of mobiles such as saving a contact, sending a text and taking, then sending a photograph. The seniors were very pleased to have the students’ help as it meant they had almost one-to-one assistance.

Four Year 10 students, Daniel O’Halloran, Chris Gulli, James Raimondo and Jake Sykes, represented the school at the SCOPE Young Ambassadors conference during SCOPE See Me week in September. At the conference they were encouraged to “See the person, not the disability”. The boys listened to speakers such a John Hughes from Masterchef and participated in activities where they experienced a little bit of life from the point of view of a person with a disability. They all came away with a greater awareness of how “normal” people with a disability are on the inside.

Our year level programs continued on with enthusiasm. Year 7 and 8 classes supported local charities such as St Vinnies through their winter appeal and the Geelong Food Relief Centre through the Toucan Appeal. Run Geelong was chosen by one Year 8 class who were very keen to support the children’s ward of the Geelong Hospital.

Again this year, local primary schools have partnered with us to provide Year 9s with the experience of working with those who are younger than them.

Our boys come back amazed at the patience of the teachers and the energy of the students, while the primary school students eagerly look forward to the next visit. Year 10 students have been seen at aged-care facilities playing carpet bowls, calling bingo, learning poker from the residents and chatting about

differences in growing up now as compared to sixtyodd years ago.

By the end of activities week, Year 11s had been challenged by a range of experiences. They completed four days of community service, each day with a different focus and location. Disability Awareness was a highlight as the students met Duane and Tom and began to gain an appreciation of what it means to live with a disability while feeling quite normal on the inside. On the environment day, a huge amount of boneseed was removed, ready for burning, and large areas were cleared for fuel reduction at the Dog Rock’s Sanctuary. After about four years of working at the Batesford site, the difference the St Joseph’s students have made to protect this area of native bushland is remarkable.

Year 12 students continued their community service by completing three hours of service of their own choice. Activities ranged from Surf Life Saving, assisting at Time for Youth, helping at op shops, taking photos at the Special Olympics held in Geelong and collecting for the Red Shield Appeal.

All members of staff are looking forward to their community service day at the end of the year which gives them a chance to get out into the community, to share lunch together and to reflect on issues of justice and peace in our society.

“Our community service during activities week was a rewarding and eye-opening experience.”

- Alex Tigani Year 11

“My aged care placement helped me to get outside my comfort zone in order to help others.”

- Connor Rawson Year 11

A large number of local organisations partner with the College to provide these opportunities of service to our students and staff.

And in return the effort and attitude of all involved is outstanding.

Indigenous Partnerships In 2011, our Indigenous Partnerships took a big step forward with the appointment of Ms Lauren Flint as the Cross Cultural Coordinator. Lauren was able to dedicate a number of hours each week to support the 15 indigenous students in the school, as well as provide leadership for the whole school in gaining better understandings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait culture.

The exchange program between St Joseph’s and St Brendan’s College Yeppoon took place again this year, with sixteen Year 9 students venturing to Queensland in May, and the return visit happening in July, just in time to really appreciate the southern winter. The students developed some great friendships and learnt much about what a diverse country we live in.

A group of 18 staff and students immersed themselves for a week in life at the Naiuyu Community, on the Daly River in the Northern Territory. Hunting, fishing, swimming and socialising were all on the agenda. The trip also has a strong spiritual aspect, with the boys spending time learning about the Dreaming and stories of the local people.

Julian Cole and Michael Smith, both of Year 11, were appointed Fire Carriers for this year. They held the responsibility of being symbols for reconciliation and for being leaders in the area of cultural understanding.

St Joseph’s has had the benefit of utilising consultants from What Works, a government body seeking good outcomes for indigenous students, and from Dare a Lead, an initiative of the Principals Association. Both groups have provided valuable resources and input into the programs conducted this year.

On 9 August, St Joseph’s played host to 20 students from Xavier Wurrumiyanga College, Bathurst Island. The students spent the day with our boys in different classes, playing sport and socialising. They were accompanied by former staff member Annalea McCurry and this has allowed us to form another strong partnership with an Indigenous community that we will develop into the future.

“The students developed some great friendships and learnt much about what a diverse country we live in” - Anthony Chapman & Lauren Flint

St Joseph’s celebrated Reconciliation Week this year with a number of activities. We had a film night fundraiser for Marrma’ Rom, various lessons at all year levels about Indigenous issues, a Reconciliation school assembly, our Indigenous students went to the filming of the Marngrook Footy Show, and we started the tradition of the Annual Marngrook Footy Match here at school. The week was a big success with all students beingg exposed to different facets of p Indigenous culture.

Ms Lauren Flint - Cross Cultural Coordinator, Mr Anthony Chapman - Director Of Mission

This year St Joseph’s has formed a relationship with the “Marrma’ Rom (Two Worlds) Foundation”. It is a leadership program for 15-17 year old boys from Yirrkala, near Gove in North East Arnhem Land who have already shown a commitment to education. It is an important opportunity for the young men to experience Western Culture, develop their leadership skills, and they will learn to ‘walk in two worlds.’ Yirrmal Marika and Marradakthun Marika are two of the boys involved in the program and have attended St Joseph’s since April. They will complete their Year 12 with us next year.

Edmund Rice Day “It was fantastic to see so many students contributing so much to Edmund Rice Day” - Claire Brown & Paul Clohesy

64

On Friday 11 March the College celebrated Edmund Rice Day, our College Feast Day. The day began with Mass celebrated by Fr Peter Foley with the assistance of several student leaders. The purpose of the ceremony was to reflect upon Edmund’s life and how we can continue to spread his message of justice and compassion.

The annual Edmund Rice Day Cross-Country/ Walkathon was then held, followed by a celebratory lunch. Student Leaders worked extremely hard to assist staff in running tremendous activities for the students to enjoy.

These included staff v student Gaelic football match, longest slide, sumo competitions and the bungee run to name but a few. They are to be congratulated for their efforts.

In addition to the student leaders, the Intermediate and Senior VCAL students must also be congratulated for their efforts, the students provided enormous assistance particularly with the distribution of lunch and the provision of a BBQ throughout the day.

The day, through donation and sponsorship,

raised $36,315.00 for the Woodwork / Medical Centre in Ruben, Kenya and here in Australia, Edmund Rice Camps for children in need.

We thank all who raised money through sponsorship or made a donation.

Thank you also for your efforts in ensuring attendance levels on Edmund Rice Day were high. It is vital that all our students have an understanding of what it means to belong to a school operating in the Edmund Rice Tradition. The day was a great celebration of our life together in the St Joseph’s Community and, in the spirit of Edmund Rice, gave us an opportunity to reach out to others less fortunate than ourselves.

College Houses & Sport BUTLER HOUSE

This has been a year of great development for Butler.

At the beginning of the year, we officially changed our name and became the Butler Sharks, a change that gave us great momentum heading into the Swimming Carnival. This change lifted the house spirit of the Butler boys, which was evident when we lifted up the House Spirit trophy at Swimming Sports.

With great support from the entire Butler house, we were able to swim strongly in the pool, but unfortunately unable to win overall. We then carried this momentum into Edmund Rice Day, with a number of Butler boys performing extremely well in the Cross Country. Our next challenge was Athletics, a day in which Butler had previously struggled with in past years. However with strong participation from Butler boys of all ages and a booming cheer squad, we were able to overcome the expectations other houses had of us and finished up an extremely close second only a few points behind Foley.

After the major carnivals we were able to maintain the same high level of participation and spirit throughout the year, in a wide range of activities such as the Peter Larkins Hill Run and the Environmental Challenge. Congratulations Butler boys for a year of commitment, participation and excellence for which we proudly hold aloft the 2011 Adam Bryant Shield!

Brad Collard

BROPHY HOUSE

The Brophy Bees had a strong start to the year with a convincing win at the swimming sports and Clean Up Schools Challenge. Unfortunately the morale was low going into the athletics day and this cost us dearly on the day.Yet after being behind for a good portion of the year we managed to make an impressive recovery, coming second for the Adam Bryant Shield. This year I spoke about Irish St Domnoc, patron saint of bees, and how his hard work and dedication paid off; gaining the loyalty of the bees he cared for and The Brophy Bees certainly mirrored his hard work this year. The recovery of Brophy Bees in the Adam Bryant Shield shows the wide range of talents of the Brophy Bees with the majority of our points coming from academic and extracurricular activities. I would like to thank the Brophy House for their terrific effort this year and wish you the best of luck for the rest of your time in this legendary house. I also thank my Deputy Jess Crucitti, for all his hard work this year especially when I was ill at the start of the year, I have enjoyed working with you and best of luck as Brophy Captain next year. Congratulations to Butler for their win

this year and thank you to Foley and Jordan for their sportsmanship.

Paul Belluzzo

FOLEY HOUSE

As Co Captain of Foley I’d like to thank Mackenzie Bourke for being a wonderful Co Captain, and the senior Foley boys for their support and cooperation throughout the year, namely Peter Walsh and Angus O’Callaghan for helping organise and excite the team on such events as the Swimming sports and Athletics day. In commemoration of our ten years of Foley domination in the Athletics at St Joseph’s I would also like to propose a challenge to the up and coming Foley boys. Instead of just being content with the Athletics lets try extend this tradition to the Swimming and beyond, don’t be afraid to try new things, and what ever you do, don’t ever be afraid of those other teams. It has been a terrific year that I am proud to say I was apart of, I would like to commend Butler for their win in the Adam Bryant Shield, and thank all the house captains and their supportive deputies. But most of all I thank the Foley boys of St Joseph’s, without your never dying cheers and support for our wonderful team we would never have been able to continue to uphold the tradition and excellence that our team brings to the College, I know the Foley spirit will always live on.

“I would also like to propose a challenge to the up and coming Foley boys. Instead of just being content with the Athletics lets try extend this tradition to the Swimming and beyond, dont be afraid to try new things, and what ever you do, dont ever be afraid of those other teams.”

- Jack Mitchell

JORDAN HOUSE

This year has been a great year for me personally, I have been able to take on a new role in leadership as Foley House Captain. It has given me a great insight in what I need to do to become a good role model. I would like to thank the Jordan boys who have been there all year, it hasn’t been our best year but we were always the most proud house. I would also like to thank my deputy Alex Tigani who did a lot of work for me behind the scenes setting up for the cheersquad and just assisting with all my speeches, without him I would not have been able to do half the things I wanted. Also to the other team captains; Mackenzie, Jack, Brad and Paul thank you for this year, even though it’s a rivalry we all helped each other this year and we could not have made the year run as smoothly as it did without supporting one another. Finally I would like to thank the school for giving me this opportunity because without them I would not be in the position now, they have helped me through all my years mature into a man, for that thank you SJC.

Basketball This year, the CAS not running the only major basketball competition for SJC there was also the Victorian College Championships, run by Basketball Victoria. The competition has been running for several years now and it is open to all secondary colleges in the state.

JUNIOR TEAM

Round one of the VCC was held at the Werribee Stadium. The boys progressed to the final of this day after being undefeated in the preliminary rounds. The final was an outstanding junior game but the bigger boys from Bacchus Marsh Grammar eventually prevailed. Although the boys lost the final they still progressed to the Finals of this tournament, held at MSAC. The boys found this round of the VCC difficult but managed to play some solid basketball throughout the day and won half of their round games. They were eventually eliminated by Rowville College which is a specialist school basketball college. A top 8 finish in this competition was an excellent performance by our Junior team – congratulations.

INTERMEDIATE TEAM:

This year this competition was split into two divisions based on how many students play representative basketball for their domestic associations. The majority of the SJC intermediate team for 2011 were also Geelong representitives and so we had to play in the highest standard, Division 1. Like the Juniors the preliminary rounds were held at Werribee. The boys played

several preliminary games and won enough games to qualify for the semi-finals. They played their best game of the day and managed to progress to the final, where they couldn’t quite manage a win. Nevertheless, they qualified for the Final day at MSAC. The quality of teams on the day was very high and despite being highly competitive the boys could not reach the semi-finals. It was a very good effort considering we were without a few players due to illness and football commitments.

SENIOR TEAM:

The Senior boys played in Division 2 of the VCC competition.

Their preliminary rounds were held at Coburg stadium. They played several games but did not win enough matches to reach the final. A special mention to the Year 12 students who played in this team. Many have represented SJC in basketball since Year 7 and have represented the college very well in their time here.

Finally, I would like to thank Mr Bryson Milverton, Sportsmaster for his continued support and assistance with organising arrangements for our teams.

St Joseph’s Football & Netball Club As we complete the 2011 season we reflect on the year just gone. There was no question going into the season with basically a new executive and football & coaching department there were always going to be challenges.

At the start of the year we set out with three main goals; 1. To get club on sound financial footing 2. Try to make it about the players and create the environment that makes them want to be around the place.

3. Create a place that members, supporters and junior parents feel welcome and part of the community.

The thinking was with this in place success on field and on the court would follow. To all intent and purpose this was very much the case.

Firstly to our sponsors, your support has been wonderful and whilst we do at all times try and provide value we also acknowledge that in lots of cases it’s a love of the St Joseph’s community that keeps you involved. This year we formed a sub-committee to look after sponsors. Involved was Kel Purser, John Goldsworthy, Brett Bentley and Michael Birthisel. To you guys congratulations on job well done. We raised more money and I believe provided more value than ever for our sponsors.

I want to acknowledge the players who have been exemplary in their attendance and behaviour at club functions this year.

To all of the football & medical department who put an enormous amount of effort behind the scenes.Your work is very much noticed and appreciated in helping to create the right environment.

There is no question St Joseph’s has always been a fantastic community and mostly everyone has always had a good time.

2011 was no exception and whilst there were some rollicking events which included entertainment from our all singing and all dancing coach, I can honestly say that everything from Thursday night meals, to after match functions, through to the Grand Final lunch were all wonderful events. What is probably a little more obscure is the infrastructure works that are also a huge factor in making the club good to be around.

John Goldsworthy has been instrumental in getting substantial works done. So from cool rooms, to pathways, to new equipment in the kitchen. Well done John.

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 thank you. To survive and prosper these days at this level we are continually having to become more professional. Having said that the basic good in people that makes them want to volunteer and put in the work is something I am always in awe of and is the foundation on which clubs like ours are built.

To the Executive who have been a wonderful support to me in my first year as president and in many ways guided me through.

To John McKinnon who we this year acknowledged with Life membership, his experience and steadiness was vital. To Billy Fawkes who took on the massive job of getting the financials up to a standard that is expected these days.....Billy they say

no one is indispensable but not sure I believe that in your case.... Finally to Chris Humphrey...an amazing job in pretty difficult circumstances. Chris is in the unenviable position where his department is the one everyone has an opinion on how it should be run and what’s wrong with it....that includes everyone from the President through to the Mums & Dads to the once a year supporters..... Chris in his steady and professional manner never once got rattled.

To the coaches and I’m sure both Michele and Chris in their reports will cover off in more detail.

To Eloise Southby-Halbish who in her two years at the club has made an impact that will I believe be felt for years to come in the players that have been developed. Eloise has always been positive and has done whatever has been asked. We wish her all the best in her role with Vixens and hope that she keeps in touch and remembers fondly her couple of years with the Joeys.

To Russell – Robbo has been nothing but a positive for this footy club. In terms of bringing the players together as a group you have been a revelation. The support he has given me in presenting and making himself available for supporters and sponsor’s function that goes largely unnoticed is appreciated.

As spoken about previously Robbo has an enormous desire to succeed and we want him to succeed so I can assure all that he will be back larger than life in 2012 The St Joseph’s Football and Netball Club fielded a total of 21 teams under the Football Geelong banner. On top of this a further 9 junior football teams were fielded in The Newtown Little League and 2 junior Netball teams in the Friday night comp at Kardinia Park. A huge organisation that along with all just getting teams on the park must have and foster relationships with the leagues that run the competitions as well as local government.

Once again I would like to thank all involved in 2011 and would like to assure all that we in 2012 have in place a plan and a desire to continue to build on the 3 objectives made at the beginning of my report. I have a firm belief that if we continue to do all the right things and put ourselves in a position to contest finals then premiership success will follow.

We cannot go forward with any fear or apprehension. We must back ourselves and the people around us.

In closing, I would like to acknowledge the contribution made by my family. Everyone I think is aware of the incredible amount of work Jane puts in but what I must also mention is our kids and what they put up with. From the boys always having their parents around to the girls having to put up with their lives constantly revolving around footy fixtures, meetings, game discussions and social functions it is a continual theme around the Littore household. As Pippa says... “All good fun but gee sometimes it would be good to talk about other stuff”. To you guys I love you all and I appreciate your support....

Go Joeys - Vince Littore

Senior Football In stark contrast to 2010, the 2011 team comprised of mainly Year 11 students. With this in mind the coaching staff believed that the year would be about development although a win in the finals was still our goal from the outset.

Throughout the season we struggled to field our strongest side on a consistent basis mainly due to injury and illness. Despite this, results fell our way and we found ourselves in the ACC Grand Final against a very talented St Bede’s team. For the first time the ACC organised the Grand Final to be played at night and the venue was Noble Park. Unfortunately St Bede’s proved too strong for us in the Grand Final and recorded a comfortable five goal victory despite the best efforts of the St Joseph’s boys.

We look forward to 2012 as a genuine opportunity to achieve the ultimate success in senior football that being winning the Herald Shield. I would like to congratulate all the students who represented the College as part of the Senior Football Team throughout 2011. In particular I would like to congratulate our Best & Fairest winner Sam Scott, Runner-Up Jack Thackeray and the team captain and winner of the Most Exemplary award Tom Kingston. I would also like to thank all the support staff particularly Jonathan Holt, Dave Breheny, Bryson Milverton, Shane Dawson, Mick Hinds, Lenny Alford and Greg Vaughan.

Year 10 ACC Football In 2010 St Joseph’s college introduced the Year 10 ACC football program. The 2010 boys were a tremendous group who brought home the ACC championship in the first year of being involved. We were told of their success and the high standards that we were going to have to live up to, as well as developing ourselves as people to keep the team alive.

During the first few weeks, the squad underwent fitness testing to see the overall fitness of the group. After these were out of the way, Mr Holt and Mr Harrington introduced the footys on Zampatti Oval and got on with instructing us on how we would need to play to be successful in the games ahead. We continued our training throughout Term 1, and started to develop the game plans we needed to play such as midfield set up, forward line set up, stoppages and zone.

With these new tools and structures we were ready to take on St Patrick’s Ballarat in a practice match. The team headed off to take on St Pats on their home turf. Not only did we gain valuable experience, we managed to beat them by 8-9 goals.

We started Term 2 by getting back on the track preparing for the first game against Mazenod. By the time the game came around all players were ready to go and excited about the opportunity. It was perfect conditions for football at Newtown and the boys managed a convincing 20 goal win.

The Round 2 game was held at Whitefriars College and it seemed to be a long trip. When we arrived we got straight into preparing for the game. They put up a good fight and most definitely were better than Mazenod but the scoreboard didn’t show. We were able to come out victors by 100 points.

Round 3 was held at our home ground in Newtown we were playing De La Salle in shocking conditions. De La Salle was easily the best team that we had played thus far. We were behind leading into the first 2 breaks but then after half time we were able to swing the momentum our way and go on to win by 23 points.

Round 4 was an away game against St Bernard’s. It was the most polished game we had played thus far and we were able to run away with a huge 149 point victory.

GRAND FINAL:

The grand final was what we were aiming for from the very start of the program. We had great faith that we could win and I believe that helped us a lot going into the game. We were playing Parade College and they had been winning by huge margins just like us, which showed that it was going to be a tough game to win. We were very fortunate to have the game held at our home ground as we finished on top of the ladder by percentage. The weather on the day didn’t start off too well with it raining most of the morning but by game time the day had cleared up and the ground was beginning to dry out. We began with kicking an early goal and never looked back, running away with the premiership by 43 points. I believe we won by being able to run out the whole game strongly, our game plans were put to work and executed perfectly and we all had the mind set of achieving success.

Round 1 - SJC v Mazenod SJC 21.12.138 defeated MAZENOD 2.2.14 Goals: Jackson Nelson 7, Jean Paul Dumont 3, Darcy Gardiner 2, Jesse Travaglini 2, Jake Lindrea 2, Jayden Brach 2, Matthew Boag 1, Jack Lang 1, Ned Grant 1.

Soccer We would like to say thank you and acknowledge the sacrifice that each and every one of our players made week after week during a season when just looking at the results we didn’t have much success at all.

AWARD WINNERS:

It would be remiss of us as a team not to touch on the fact we finished 11th in the competition this year. We don’t like that part at all. We hope it hurts, inspires / urges the team to work harder in the areas of their game they need to work on in preparation for 2012.

ACC COMPETITION RESULTS:

A season like this will test and display your true character. Leaders emerge. A 4-1 loss, a 7-0 loss and yet many keep fighting and don’t give up. As a team it is sometimes tough / intimidating knowing it is going to be a hard slog today but when you are down 7-0 and we have players chasing down, tackling, organising other players and still urging their team mates to do the right thing and play in the right spirit that as coaches makes us extremely proud. The school motto ‘Ad Alta Virtute’, strive for the highest, which is at the very core of our existence as a St Joseph’s community you lived during this season. That we are extremely proud of, and something that you know you should also be proud of.

Thanks again, keep playing and to the Year 12s we wish you all the best in the future and to the Year 11s we look forward to coming back and working with you again in 2012.

Cycling 2011 saw an increase in the number of boys cycling for the school, as more competition was made available to them.

As the sport continues to grow in its popularity, particularly with Cadel’s win in the Tour De France, the opportunities for inter-school cycling have increased for both road and mountain bikers.

In early October, the St Joseph’s College cycling team travelled to Lake Wendouree in Ballarat to compete at the Victorian Secondary Schools Cycling Championships zone final. It was a successful day, with two category victories, two second placings and two thirds and all boys representing the school impressively. The boys’ hard work on the training track paid off!

In the Under 15 male novice category, Ben McNamara of Year 8 rode an outstanding race, using all his strength and tactical know-how in the sunny conditions to out sprint the field and take line honours. A fantastic result!

In the Under 19 male novice category, Chris Ballan of Year 11 also rode superbly, riding like a seasoned veteran to outclass the opposition and take victory in the last race of the day. Both boys, as well as Rylan Bird (Year 8 - 2nd), Cody Grant (Year 8 - 3rd), Bradie Thomas (Year 10 - 2nd) and Andrew Blake (Year 10 - 3rd) earned the right to ride in the state finals, held before the last stage of the Herald-Sun Tour in Lygon Street, Carlton. Well done to all boys who rode extremely well on the day.

In late August, a small but eager group of boys travelled to Eumerella Scout camp in Anglesea to compete in the Road Cycling Squad

Andrew Blake negotiates tough conditions

Victorian Schools Mountain Biking Championships. Again, the boys competed very well on a technical course, with Alistair Collins of 7I riding with consistency and style to take first place, not far ahead of Ethan Jolly of 7C in third place and Sandon Jennings, also of 7C in fourth. This was an excellent effort by these boys; especially given they are all still eligible to race in U/15s again next year!

In the U/17 category, Andrew Blake of Year 10 rode superbly in the conditions to take out second position, with Connor Pamplin of Year 9 coming in a solid fourth.

In mid-October, a group of boys (and some fathers) along with 5 staff members took to the roads in the Around the Bay in a Day schools challenge – a 100km event that took riders from Alexandra Gardens in Melbourne, to Frankston and back. On a beautiful day for a ride, all participants completed the ride comfortably and crossed the finish line with a big smile on their faces!

A final congratulations to Rylan Bird of Year 8 for his impressive effort in the September holidays – riding his bike from Sydney to Geelong to raise money for his father’s life saving medical treatment in the US. Thank you and well done to all students who took part in rides throughout the year. Thank you to Mr Mark Turner and Mr Dan Hale for their leadership of the road cycling team training sessions and all staff who took park in the Around the Bay in a Day. We look forward to bigger and stronger squads in all events in 2012!

Debating & Public Speaking This year the Debating and Public Speaking team has been bigger and better than ever! There are now well over 60 students involved in a wide range of competitions at all year levels. However this significant feat would not be possible without the commitment and enthusiasm of both the students involved and their parents who have assisted at many of the events. A big thank you and congratulations to all those who have been involved in this year’s debating and public speaking competitions and events.

2011 has seen students involved in a variety of events and competitions. Such activities have included: Lion’s Youth of the Year, Legacy Public Speaking, DAV Debating, DAV Junior Debating, DAV Junior Public Speaking, The Thant-Evant Trophy, Plain English Speaking Awards, ACC Debating Year 9 and 10s, ACC Debating Year 7 and 8s,Year 9 Day Forum, UNYA State Conference, Senior British Parliamentary Debating, Junior British Parliamentary Debating and DAV War Time Debate.

Through participating in such events the students have further developed their public speaking skills, enhanced their confidence and had the opportunity to meet students from different colleges as well as a variety of people from our local community.

Finally, this year has also seen a change in the style of leadership in the college and in debating. Congratulations to Russell Waters who has been elected as the Debating Leader and Joel Wooden who has been elected as the Debating Captain. Both students will act as representatives of the College, provide leadership in the area of Debating and provide a vital link between the students and staff body.

Both students have shown a tremendous commitment to the Debating and Public Speaking team in their time at the college and are worthy candidates for such positions of leadership.

Curriculum “We are living in an increasingly globalised world therefore it is more and more vital to promote Asian languages and culture in our schools so our students have a better understanding and knowledge of our near neighbours. ” - Rob Blackley

ASIAN LANGUAGES AND STUDIES IN SCHOOLS

St Joseph’s College was amongst a select group of schools to win funding to promote Asian languages and culture within their classrooms and school communities.

As part of the national Becoming Asia Literate: Grants to Schools (BALGS) initiative, received a $20,000 Federal Government grant. This is part of the $62.4 million National Asian Languages and Studies in Schools Program (NALSSP) to support Asia literacy. The funding will go towards to develop a language laboratory to further support the teaching of Chinese and programs to engage students in expanded language opportunities.

We are living in an increasingly globalised world therefore it is more and more vital to promote Asian languages and culture in our schools so our students have a better understanding and knowledge of our near neighbours.

AD ALTA 10

Ad Alta 2011 has seen the expansion of the curriculum pathway Ad Alta 10 for students, with 34 students enrolled. Ad Alta 10 is a mixture of traditional subject areas,VET subjects and increased work experience throughout the year. The students have been involved in community service visits, with Mr Anthony Chapman, to primary schools and aged homes through their Religious Education program, achieved different levels of belt grading in the martial arts class with Ms Joanne Board and undertaken work experience on four separate occasions throughout the year, under the watchful eyes of Mr Simon Cahir. Upon completion students can pursue a VCAL program, enrol in VCE or find employment.

NAPLAN

The National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) for all Year 7 and 9 students was completed early in May of this year. A change was made to the writing component of the Literacy test with the students required to write a persuasive extended response, the results indicated an improved level of achievement for the Year 9 compared to the previous year. Our results indicated our students

performed above the state and national average in all areas. This can be attributed to the work we have been doing in the area of literacy across all subject areas in recent times and the work within the Mathematics and English faculties. The gathering of this data and all other assessment data does provide us with the opportunity to better track students through their schooling.

INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES

Articulated in the College’s Mission Statement is a commitment to integrate an awareness and knowledge of Indigenous culture, history and spirituality throughout the curriculum. To support this, a number of initiatives are in place to support reconciliation. A student exchange program has been established with St Brendan’s College, Yeppoon, and a group of Year 10 students travelled to Daly River Northern Territory on an immersion experience. We saw the enrolment of four remote Indigenous students at St Joseph’s College for the first time, one in Year 7 and Year 10 and two in Year 11 VCAL. Three of the students will be continuing their schooling at St Joseph’s in 2012. This is proving to be a rich and learning experience for all who are involved.

VCE LECTURES

The annual revision lectures offered this year at the College saw an increase in the number of students from St Joseph’s College and other schools attending the lectures, approximately 800 students attended the lectures over the four day period. It was very pleasing and encouraging to see so many St Joseph’s College students taking the opportunity to avail themselves of these lectures. Feedback indicated a high proportion of the students found the lectures extremely valuable and useful to their preparation for the exams. Each of the lecturers spoke of how impressive the students were and the fact they came during the Term 3 break.

The challenge for the College will be to remain in the forefront of boy’s education. We are fortunate to have excellent facilities, hard working and dedicated staff and supportive parents who all endeavour to provide the best opportunity for our boys.

Indigenous students 2011

Mission When Edmund Rice began his mission over 200 years ago, little would he have known just what an impact his actions would have centuries later. Just as Edmund sought to bring the Good News to the poor and impoverished of Ireland, so the students and staff of St Joseph’s continue his mission today of reaching out to the marginalised of our local and global community. The team this year has welcomed Ms Vicki Mills in to the role of Religious Education Coordinator. She has given the role a new energy and has been a hard working addition to this area of the school.

The year has seen a number of initiatives being run, with the emphasis being on our Catholic Identity. Staff participated in a Community Service day, in which they all participated in some form of service around Geelong. Some served at the Christ Church Meals Program, others volunteered at local Primary schools, and others visited the Maribyrnong Detention Centre. A reflection afterwards highlighted the issues we face as a community in achieving justice for all.

Three students from Year 11- Jackson Kol, Nick Cooper and Matthew Karpinski; attended World Youth Day in Madrid. The boys returned with a number of great stories and memories, and importantly a greater understanding of their own faith and spirituality.

Various justice projects have raised awareness on issues that impact our community. During the winter holidays St Joseph’s conducted the Refugee Holiday program for around 100 refugee kids living in Geelong. Along with the Sudanese Tutoring Program, it allowed the students to better understand the issues of refugees and asylum seekers in the Australian context. The Ad Alta group has formed a partnership with a group of teenaged Vietnamese asylum seekers and have been sharing food, sport and experiences with each other. Other Year 10 boys spent 24 hours in the shoes of a homeless person, experiencing life on $4 for the day.

Year 11 students were challenged to consider the impact of economics, politics and science on ethics and justice when British Theologian, Dr Peter Vardy, presented a thought provoking conference on the “big questions”. Many students left the gym that day with their heads spinning as they considered issues of fertility, genetics, human rights, poverty and world finance.

This year we were pleased that Fr Herman Licayan from the Meredith Parish was appointed by Archbishop Hart as a co-chaplain to the College, alongside Fr Kevin Dillon. Fr Herman has been celebrating a fortnightly Mass for classes as well as year level Masses, and the boys enjoy his down-toearth homilies. When time permits he likes to join them for some three-on-three on the basketball court! A liturgical highlight this year was the Holy Week liturgy in the gym. With music and symbols, the school community was led through the suffering of Jesus through to the hope of the Resurrection. We were challenged to notice that people continue to suffer unjustly in today’s times, and that through our own actions we can either magnify or alleviate that suffering.

At the end of 2010 it was decided it was time for a review of our RE curriculum. To begin this process we invited Dennis Hobson, Acting Director of Mission at St Bernard’s College, Essendon to walk us through what was happening in their program. The RE Leadership team worked with Dennis, evaluating how our current practice could be improved and what were the current pedagogical approaches to the teaching of religion in schools today. We then consulted with staff in the faculty, inviting them to contribute their ideas and suggestions for improvement. Drawing on the information we had collected from Dennis, from our staff and from our own personal research, we developed a scope and sequence to be activated in 2012. This meant the writing of new units of work across the 7 – 10 programs. We also decided our Year 12 students needed an RE program that would have a strong emphasis on reflection, allowing the boys to consolidate their faith journey over their time here at St Joseph’s. Currently members of staff from each year level are developing these new units of work.

In 2012 we are introducing Religion in Society as a subject at Year 10 and at Year 11, Texts and Traditions.

Both of these are VCE units of work.

“ We need good men to stand up and be counted in this world.

The important matters cannot be ignored or left to others” – Anthony Chapman

So as a result of our review, we look forward to a Religious Education program that is relevant and contemporary, based on sound educational pedagogy, built on compassion, innovation and integrity. One that will take us into 2012 and beyond.

Drama & Performing Arts “One of the most challenging achievements of the year were the Solo Performances.

Each student needed to forge seven jam packed minutes of nonnaturalistic theatre.”

- Janine McLean

This year we have students who have chosen to do drama from year 7 to year 12 and every level in between.

PHYSICAL THEATRE

VCE UNITS 3 & 4

Juggling balls and rings as well as the manipulation of other implements like plates, diablo and devil sticks certainly inspires the classes to create increasingly entertaining and polished acts. This year Fraser Baker installed theatre lights and a little operating board in the drama studio. Being able to combine music and lighting effects has really helped develop our performance work.

Probably a high point this year was our trip to Melbourne on an incredibly wet Thursday to see two productions on the VCE playlist. We saw “Six Characters in Search of an Author” at the historic La Mama Theatre in Carlton and a fantastic play called “Random” in the new home of the Melbourne Theatre Company.

One of the most challenging of achievements of the year were the Solo Performances. Each student needed to forge seven jam packed minutes of nonnaturalistic theatre. In April we went to Melbourne to watch excellent examples of last years’ students’ work to acquaint ourselves with what was expected and in August we attended a special day with other VCE students from the Geelong region at The Geelong Performing Arts Centre to further explore the requirements of this task. We finished with pieces created around Vacuum Cleaners, Refrigerators, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Elizabeth Bennett, Florence Jenkins, characters based on the film Gattacca, Modesty Blaise and a character based on the book The Red Piano.

VCE UNITS 1 AND 2

This class participated in a special program run

by GPAC. The program called Taking Over allows students to generate an ensemble performance and present it in the theatre with students running the lighting, sound and stage managing. It was a fantastic opportunity which the students grasped and acquitted themselves of totally. The theme was Cracked. We only wish our ending had been stronger. This year we also viewed three professional productions. Interestingly all the plays were historically based and told stories of indigenous people. Namatjjra, The Krakouer Brothers and Rainbow’s End . This was an interesting development in Australian drama for us to witness.

92

Physical Theatre continues to be a very popular unit in the middle school.

IMPROVISATION

For students who are interested in how to cultivate their imaginative ideas into dramatic performances.

Generating our own versions of “Thank God you are here!” situations, spontaneously explaining the meaning of a word that we really didn’t know the true meaning of, as an eloquent expert and crafting our own ancient Greek style festival of plays kept us pondering what is possible when you trust yourself to be inventive and imaginative.

YEAR 7

50 up, transformation of objects and character, listening, focus, Opera, Melodrama, Naturalism and the story of Gelert: all these tasks culminating in a Superhero complete with a Secret Identity.

ARTS FACULTY 2011

The B18 is no ordinary place, it is a place where you can relax and let creativity take over your mind and world. B19 is a world of ART. Your artistic ability can soar with the skills you learn.You can make any man into a child, with the help of your imagination.

You can create masterpieces and become your own Picasso.Your guide (Mrs Condon) is always there to help you to become better and better at whatever you are creating. There is never disappointment in what you make, only improvements and guidance.

There’s no right and wrong in art. Expressing yourself is important.You can overcome your artistic fears (pottery) and also try new things. The art room is full of creativity and wonder. In this art room nothing is impossible only imaginable.

Chad Suphamongkol - Year 7

The Arts energises the school environment, develops critical life skills, improves student performance in other areas and exposes students to a range of cultural perspectives. The Arts also often reaches students described as ‘hard-to-teach’.The arts can be viewed as self-expression, emotional therapy, spirituality, cultural connection, a discipline, and an essential part of being human.

Our Arts Faculty has continued to work collaboratively with a focus on extending student experience in a range of mediums, from traditional through to the technologically advanced. We have also focused on improving student literacy skills in their writing about art. With the assistance of Literacy Coordinator, Katherine Jenkins, art teachers have integrated changes in their curriculum in order to improve learning outcomes in the arts theory curriculum.

The successes the students enjoy as a result of their enthusiasm and talent, in both the visual and performing arts must be partly accredited to the dedication, commitment and professionalism of the arts faculty staff. I would sincerely like to thank the Art, Drama, Media, Music and Visual Communication teachers for the contribution they make to the faculty and in particular to the many extra hours they dedicate to school related activities.

Chad Suphamongkol, Year 7 In Art & Design this year we have learnt all the basics of art, we have had a go at all different styles including portraits, print making and we are now doing our clay gargoyles which is really hands on and is really fun, everyone is enjoying it. We also did a week on photography which was really interesting, we learnt about taking pictures and visualising the picture before you take the photo. I think that our art classes are run very well, Mrs Barton teaches all the different techniques, this makes it a lot easier to get our work done on time. Overall the year has been fun and we have learnt a lot about art.

YEAR 7 ART

This year in Art & Design, we have learnt different techniques, such as sketching, painting, the use of colours and using clay. My favourite part of the subject is creating clay gargoyles. This was the most enjoyable, but yet the hardest task we had encountered. Creating the clay gargoyles was not easy; however, during the classes we learnt how to construct parts of the body and the correct method to do so. This was very important because if we had not learnt the method, the final product would not have worked out correctly. Art is a very enjoyable subject and I have learnt a lot this semester.

Alex Fama - Year 7

ELEMENTS SCHMELEMENTS

This semester in Elements Schmelements our class has learnt a lot about all the different ways to produce a successful design. Our first task was to use Photoshop to manipulate an existing logo to show the design elements and principles. We then moved on to looking at typography and seeing how the type can represent a different mood or feeling. Before creating our own typeface from a-z we talked about how type can be used not only to relay information but also become a piece of design in itself. We looked at David Carson and the way he works with type before creating a brief to begin to tie all our assessment tasks into one final product a children’s book cover.

the brilliant teacher Mrs Adams. Mrs Adams really explored the depth and structure of all aspects of art.

We explored numerous styles of art and how ideas can be expressed through artworks; this included a 3D assemblage where we created a box like design with numerous shades, dimensions and focal points.

We went to design and make pop art inspired clay food which proved to be fun, concentrating on textures and shape. Currently we are starting to work on clay busts which I am looking forward to. Finally we will conclude with a stone carving. I can say I made the right choice for this year’s art subject.

Hamish Flavell - Year 9

Shehan Perera - Year 9

Overall I found the subject very enjoyable and learnt many techniques such as Typography, Technical drawings, logo design and layout.

James Byron - Year 8

2D PAINTING & DRAWING

3D CREATIONS

Through the semester we explored different materials, techniques and art skills. Students enjoyed lino-cutting using tools to cut out a multi-coloured print based on a Pop Art style image.

I am reflecting today about the year that has just passed and all that we have learnt and all the skills that we have developed. At the start of the year some students thought they were in the wrong class but as we commenced the first lesson we quickly found our feet and I knew straight away that I chose this for a reason. The one thing which made this class connect and us strive for such a high standard was Jordan Vecoli - 9D

2D Drawing & Painting expands your mind to another world of art with tasks such as print making, a drawing folio and abstract painting.

I particularly enjoyed creating an abstract painting using tape and acrylic paint to layer up lines and patterns.

Yianni Argyros -Year 10 Kieran Fennell, self portrait - Year 8

Art which allows me to access all the things I love with the use of imagery and texture: my favourite books and music, events in history and pictures I’m drawn to. The freedom in this subject has been fantastic.

A COLOURFUL WORLD

We have really enjoyed art this semester. Our Year 8/9 class is a more advanced class from the one that we accomplished in Year 7 and we are enjoying it twice as much.

Through the last term we have discovered and explored the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh and painted our own landscape masterpieces. We learnt about the style of expressionism and painted detailed self-portraits on canvas. We accomplished the skill of lino printing and explored modern contemporary art.

Out of all this semester’s work we both enjoyed expressionism the most as there was freedom to express our style through our work. Overall art has been really good and we are looking forward to continuing it and doing more art next year.

UNIT 1 & 2 STUDIO ARTS

In Studio Arts students have the opportunity to work with and explore a variety of techniques and media including drawing, print making, painting and photography. In Semester 2 a free-choice Folio acts as preparation for Year 12. During the photography assignment, I particularly developed knowledge of lighting techniques, used to enhance emotion in an image. The free-choice Folio has let me explore some family history and experiment with how a person’s stories can be represented visually. I’ve enjoyed playing with the theme of ‘Storytelling’, Immanuel Dreesens - Year 10

We’ve had a fantastic year experimenting with various mediums and styles of art including drawing, block printing, etching, watercolour and Impressionist oil painting. We expanded our skills digitally through photography and the use of Photoshop. Once we had refined our skills in all of these areas, we honed in on a specific medium we liked and focused on this for the rest of the year. We also learned about different and interesting artists and had the great opportunity to visit the Eugene von Guerard exhibition at the NGV in Melbourne.

It’s been a very productive year!

UNIT 3 & 4 STUDIO ARTS

This year in Unit 3 and 4 Studio Arts, we had the opportunity to essentially do whatever we wanted in terms of creating a final artwork by September.

Semester 1 was based around exploring a central theme or idea of our own choice through media experimentations, while documenting our trials in a visual diary – this was a lot of fun, and I’d highly recommend anyone taking up this subject next year to trial analogue photography, considering we’re one of the few schools around Geelong that still has a fully-functional darkroom. Semester 2 was mostly focused around the production and presentation of our finals, as well as seeing how quickly we could burn through Ms. Condon’s class budget – remember; money is no object for true artists! All jokes aside, the freedom of choice we were given in terms of where we could take our final artworks was probably the most enjoyable part of Year 12 Studio Arts. As clichéd as it sounds, it’s one of the few subjects where you really are only limited by the extent of your imagination, and I’d definitely recommend the subject to anyone that is willing to put in the effort all year round - it is not a bludge subject by any means, and you will only get out of it what you put in. All in all, Studio Arts is a great subject which has helped inject a whole lot of fun into our final year of VCE studies.

Visual Communication & Design “Throughout this subject I expanded my knowledge of Photoshop, developed a better understanding of technical drawing and most importantly it helped me realise that I want to continue with visual communication in the future.”

- Erik Lindeberg Year 12

DRAWING AND DESIGN

This subject has been a very creative but challenging unit; it explores the basics of architecture and design. I have enjoyed this subject from day one, as this is what I’m thinking of doing for a career. We were given the freedom of designing and planning our own bungalows from floor plan right through to planometric designs on paper and computer. In this unit it covers a little bit of graphic design as well as we need to produce brochures to sell our bungalows. We also covered orthogonal drawings at the start of the unit drawing and copying chocolate bars to scale. Overall this subject has been fun and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys creativity and drawing.

FOLIO PRESENTATION

In this subject we explored the design aspects of restaurants, and the many components to what it takes to make a model and a menu stand. This subject gives you an insight into what it would be like to do Visual Communication and Design in Year 11 and 12.

During the semester we have designed and constructed a model of a café/ restaurant and a menu stand for the cafe/restaurant as well as designed the menu. This subject gave students the chance to explore their creative side and also expand their imagination, and it showed what they are really capable of achieving in a limited amount of time.

MAKE OR BREAK

This semester in Make or Break we looked at the different aspects of visual communication including: logos, stationery design and technical drawing.

One of the main skills we have developed in this class is the use of Adobe illustrator. After learning the basics of this program we began to create a personal or company logo design for a business card, letterhead and key ring.

Michael Kakauras - Year 9

This was the first visual communication unit I had undertaken at St Joseph’s. I didn’t know what to expect but I have really enjoyed the class and look forward to taking more visual communication units in the future.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION TODAY AND TOMORROW

Visual communication is an area of study which I very much enjoy. In the class Visual Communication Today & Tomorrow we analysed a variety of different creative advertising ideas to develop one of our own. It allowed us to express our interests in our work and we were able to advertise a product of choice. Our following task was to design and construct our own promotional standee out of foam core. I was able to produce an orthogonal drawing which displayed the dimensions of my standee and an oblique drawing which is a more realistic 3D drawing of the product. Throughout this subject I expanded my knowledge of Photoshop, developed a better understanding of technical drawing and most importantly it helped me realise that I want to continue with visual communication in the future.

Michael Kakouros - Year 9

UNIT 1 & 2 VISUAL COMMUNICATION & DESIGN

In these two units we explored a wide range of different outcomes that helped us prepare for unit 3 and 4 in year 12. The outcomes we covered in unit 1 and 2 were, landscape design and house plan design, freehand observational drawing and furniture design, all of these outcomes involved a design brief and we had to research our ideas and annotate them. During the outcomes we were able to go outside of the classroom, taking photos and refining our free hand drawings. If you are into product design or are creative in any way this subject will be enjoyable for you.

Photography & Media A TICKET TO THE MOVIES

A Ticket to the Movies involves studying the Thriller Genre. Learning to analyse the films changes the way you watch films. It is good to be able to learn the techniques of filming and then put them into practice to make our own films. It is a great fun subject that is very informative.

PHOTOGRAPHY

In photography we learnt a lot of various things. We studied different photographers, different genres and the art elements and principles. Be started the term by capturing photos with digital cameras and using Photoshop to edit the photos. The art movements gave a perspective about the different types of styles and we each studied a different style and took photos to represent the movement. We were introduced to SLR cameras and we were taught how to develop the photos in the dark room.

We were taken on an excursion to the Botanical Gardens and took photos of interesting plant life and developed the photos back at school. The semester in photography has taught me a wide range of skills; these include using a SLR camera and taking detailed and thoughtful photography. I enjoyed the semester with Mrs Spark and it has been very rewarding.

Nick Powell - Year 10

This Semester in ‘The Media is all Around Us’ we have been investigating the various effects of the media in our world. Through watching action films we have been learning and studying the various Production Elements involved in making a film. We are now in the process of designing and making a script for our own stop-motion animations. In our animation we are making plasticine characters to go with the set we are designing. We are filming them using webcams for the stop-motion effect, then editing to put music and sound effects to our animations.

Music “It has been a dynamic year for all of our ensembles and bands with students embracing the many events and performance opportunities that arose this year.”

- SJC Music Staff

This year we welcomed Mr David Gallaher as Director of Music to the College Music Department, along with Mrs Amy Young teaching woodwind in the bands program. It has been a dynamic year for all of our ensembles and bands with students embracing the many events and performance opportunities that arose this year.

The Senior Band under the direction of Mr David Gallaher has been working through a rebuilding phase and we thank the boys for their commitment and dedication this year. Highlights of the year were the performance at Costa Hall as part of the Geelong Association of Wind Bands Showcase and Performing at the Geelong Show where the band was placed third in the School Bands’ competition.

The band combined with students from Sacred Heart and Clonard to create the Combined Catholic Colleges Concert Band to perform at the Royal South Street Festival in Ballarat. The Band surprised everyone including themselves, by winning the Intermediate Section against fifteen other bands from throughout the state. Next year will see continued growth in this ensemble as younger players are welcomed in. The boys are already very excited about what next year will bring with a tour to Queensland being planned.

The Vocal ensemble has been busy participating in many dynamic workshops and performances.

They participated in the ACC Vocal Workshop at St Bede’s College and were invited to work with Australian Composer Paul Jarman, artist in residence at Geelong College, as part of their 150 year celebration in April. The boys performed at all College Masses and Ceremonies, combining with the Sacred Heart Choir for the Aids Day Mass. Locally the boys participated in a vocal workshop with past student Darryl Barclay while earlier in the year joining with other Melbourne Secondary Colleges at the ‘Sing In The City Festival’ under Conductor George Torbay from Sydney.

Individually our vocal students have also had much success. Both Darcy Carroll and Connor Rawson were selected to perform with Melbourne

Youth Opera in a new production directed by Richard Gill. Liam Headland and Eamon Dooley performed in the Victorian Opera‘s performance of the Children’s Opera ‘Brundibar’ in the Geelong Performing Arts Centre, also under the direction of Richard Gill. Darcy Carroll performed the leading role of Motel the tailor in ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ and in Clonard College’s ‘Seussical’. Ryan Bentley performed in ‘Seussical’ and in several GSODA productions.

The Barbershop Group consisted of Year 11 students; Tom Attard, Lachlan Brown, Darcy Carroll, Charlie McIntyre and Connor Rawson. They rehearsed each Wednesday and made a popular showing at the August Concert and performed at Awards Night.

Further successes this year have been upcoming groups ‘Altitude’ – Liam Brennan, Luke Reeves, Tom Attard and Lachlan Brown, and ‘What Should Never Be’ - Jesse Melnik, Jack Brodrick, Cameron Kos and Riley Harman. ‘Altitude’ won the Geelong Courthouse Battle of the Bands Competition and as regional winners they move on to the next heat.

They also won the Senior Group section of the Annual Talent Quest playing an original song.

‘What Should Never Be’ comprised of all Year 9 students wowed the Talent Quest judges with an original song written by Jack Brodrick and took out the Junior Group section. The boys then went on to be placed Runners Up in the Open Battle of the Bands Competition at the ACC Rock Band Workshop day at Whitefriars College.

Congratulations to all the Talent Quest contestants for 2011 the results were: Junior Solo Winner: Ben Kenworthy 7D –Trumpet Senior Solo Winner: Nicholas Ng 11C – Piano Audience Choice: Waiting in Line -Immanuel Dreesens 10H, Jake Langenegger 10C, Ashley Wray 10G, Jayden Wray 8D

Music adjudicators and audience members. The Junior band Academy performed at the Mother’s Day Mass,Year 7 Information Evening and went on a local tour of Primary Schools in November.

The Department is delighted with the efforts and the potential displayed by many of these boys.

The Intermediate Band rehearsed for the first part of the year on a Thursday after school and performed a wide variety of repertoire from the classics to the Pirates of the Caribbean.

This band is a developmental band for boys who feel they are in between the Junior and Senior Band. Mr Michael Wilding directed this group and as the year progressed most of the members of this band were promoted to the Senior Band. The Intermediate Band performed impressively at the Ensembles Extravaganza Concert in May; it is lovely to see these young players developing into confident instrumentalists.

The Stage Band performed at community events such the Christchurch Breakfast Charity Celebration during Men’s Week and a fundraising Concert for the Anam Cara Hospice Fund at St Mary’s Basilica. A highlight for the Band was the trip to Mt Gambier to participate in the Generations in Jazz Festival.

The Band placed in the top half of its division, a pleasing result considering the five new members who made their debuts with the band this year. Simon Hochreiter had the honour of being the first ever St Joseph’s student to be selected for the division Honours Band. Simon also attained a podium finish in each of the three events he entered at the prestigious South Street Festival. The Band would like to thank Mr John Shawcross for his expert guidance of the group.

The Junior Band Academy made up of Year 7 students who are mostly beginners on their instruments made an impressive debut at the Ensemble Extravaganza Concert in May. The band, directed by Mrs Amy Young performed creditably in the Novice Section of the Royal South Street Festival gaining 88 points. The Band received many positive comments from the

BARBERSHOP GROUP ‘FORTE’ L-R: Connor Rawson, Darcy Carroll, Thomas Attard, Lachlan Brown Absent: Charles McIntyre Staff: Mr David Gallaher

The instrumental program has been expanding with over one hundred boys enrolled. We have welcomed a number of new instrumental tutors into the department. One highlight has been the re-generation of the College Percussion Ensemble at lunchtimes. This is a teaching ensemble under the guidance of Ms Sharon Kelly. Students with an interest in playing percussion can learn the skills required to play all the different types of percussion instruments, and to further strengthen the experience of our band percussionists.

Congratulations to the following boys who received outstanding results in their AMEB and ANZCA Practical Examinations: Liam Headland, Connor Rawson, Jeremy King, Jack Francis, Callum McDonald, Nicholas Bowles, Jonathan Dulce, Thomas Lyons, Nicholas Ng, Michael Podbury, David Motorniak, Samuel Harper, Benjamin Kenworthy, Christopher Napper, Cameron Jerabek, Nicholas Brandimarti, Christopher Ballan, Thomas Graham, James Dooley, Matthew Bucki-Smith, Sebastian Rawson, Jack Broderick and Jesse Melnik.

We also congratulate Adrian King past student (2010) for his achievement of Regional Winner of the Geelong Advertiser Music Competition.

Humanities “Accounting isn’t just math and numbers but analysing reports and understanding, which are handy skills”

“Legal Studies has provided me with an in-depth knowledge of Australia’s legal system and has given me the basic knowledge that I need to study the law in University and beyond.”

- Chris Arnold Year 12

The following comments are the thoughts of some of our Year 7 students as they reflect on their first year of learning in humanities and the thoughts of some of our Year 12 students at the end of their secondary schooling. What comes through is the way the learning of the boys progresses as they move from being exposed to new and interesting concepts in Year 7 to developing an ability to think critically and analyse concepts in order to form, communicate and defend their own opinions.

Renee Meadows This year humanities has been fun. We learned about Ancient Rome, Geography and about heritage sites and about collecting evidence. It has been interesting and I can’t wait to see what we will learn next.

Antonio Novta - Year 7 This year in year 7 humanities I have enjoyed learning about geography. In this, I have learnt more about making maps and more about landscapes and why they are like that. I have really enjoyed humanities this year.

Connor Blackwell - Year 7 I have enjoyed lots of things from humanities like direction and using compasses, designing a theme park and bringing in our family history objects because I learnt about others.

Ollie Darcy - Year 7 This year in humanities I have enjoyed learning about history and geography. It has been a good year learning things I never had in humanities. I learnt about Ancient Rome and their empire and how to read maps and about environments that are unique.

Noah Craven-Briggs - Year 7 Economics has given me a greater ability to prove my parents wrong when it comes to political matters surrounding the budget and the carbon tax. This gives me great satisfaction.

Economics teaches you how to express your ideas on politics and society according to how it affects the economy.

Erik Lindeberg - Year 12 International Politics this year has taught me about a range of issues and topics which have included leadership, different styles of government, different forms of diplomacy, Cold War events and the role that the UN plays in our world. This subject has broadened my view of the world we live in and shown me just how interconnected global events are.

Lachie Crowe - Year 11 Through studying history, I was able to learn to not only just look at an event, but to also analyse the causes and consequences of that particular event. A skill I can now carry on to learning in the present, and future.

Jonny Carty - Year 11 History is the broad term given for what is basically the translation of the world’s evolution in terms of the thousands of cultures that co-exist, sometimes unknowingly. Thus history triumphs over all the language barriers, the cultural differences, the political diversity and the religious divisions and puts in words the personal stories of everything from world-changing individuals and ideas, right down to the personal stories of ordinary men and women.

History is in fact ‘our story,’ the progression of humanity towards an unknown future.

Max Rudd - Year 12 Legal Studies has provided me with an in-depth knowledge of Australia’s legal system and has given me the basic knowledge that I need to study the law in University and beyond.

English YEAR 7 ENGLISH

This year in English I have enjoyed learning about the Boy Overboard play and how the refugee system works and how much trauma they go through to get to a better country. Boy Overboard play was interesting because we got to do all different types of activities. I have learnt all of my proper nouns and Adjectives. The best moment was when we watched our Boy Overboard play over with all of the other Year 7 classes. I have improved my essay writing and know how to write essays better.

Isaac McMahon Year - 7 This year in English I have enjoyed learning about the Greek Olympics (Pankration).

I have learnt to use proper grammar and have learnt where and when to talk. My favourite novel was Pankration because it tells me about what life was like before I was born.

My proudest moment was when I got baked beans for being awesome at spelling. I have improved my handwriting and essay writing and also how to write them properly. I am looking forward to meeting new people in Year 8 Lachlan Collins -Year 7 This year in English I have enjoyed learning different things that I never experienced at primary school, I have also enjoyed working together in groups with my class mates. I have learnt heaps about essays and how to write them properly. My favourite novel so far has been Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman, because it was based on soccer and that is my favourite sport, it also had an interesting story line. My proudest moments in English have been writing my essays and watching my scores improve dramatically. I have improved on English in general, from English being one of my weaker points it is now one of my stronger points at St Joseph’s College.

Adrian Baldasso - Year 7

CREATIVE WRITING

It’s an inseparable bond no one could break, the love for my country that I’m defending couldn’t be any stronger. Like a diamond rope that has constricted its way through my blood, bones and soul. If I can’t fulfil my daunting duty today I could betray my love. I peep over and see the fiery red hot shells burst through the murky haze. I close my eyes and listen, listen to the screams, the agony. The burden I have in my arms could decide the fate of my life, heavy as a rock but at the same time so deadly. The wrong decision could change everything. I peep over again and see my golden chance to bolt for it; I knew that I wasn’t going to come out of this alive, I also knew that this had to be done, even if it did cost my life. I then run for cover behind an ancient dusky oak tree. As I was about to make the dive everything around me went silent, it was as if it was in slow motion that I heard the sinister beep of the landmine. The last thing I remember thinking was ’sorry’.

Jackson Recourt - Year 8 What Lies in the Woods Hidden from your eyes, The things you want to see Nowhere to be found The place you want to be.

Curiosity takes you Where you want to go What lies in the Woods?

You will never know…

They’re teaching you things You don’t want to know They’re telling you places you shouldn’t go.

Don’t go to The Woods Isn’t that what they teach?

What Lies in The Woods Is out of reach You’re running away from The world you left behind Out to the forbidden lands To see what you can find There’s a voice in your head Telling you not to go But if you don’t Then you lose You will never know Jack Brodrick Year 9

The Edge of the World I have stood at the edge of the world, Where rocks and timber marr the beach, Where earth and sea brutally collide, A desolate place near impossible to reach.

I have stood at the edge of the world, And cast my pebble unto the shore, Into the depths sank my pebble, A testimony to my life forever more.

I have stood at the edge of the world, Where my pebble will remain eternally, Once a shard of stone, now it is me, Continuing my life’s turbulent journey.

I have stood at the edge of the world, And knelt among its golden sand, Where pebbles such as mine now lay, A testimony to our time in Van Diemen’s Land.

Mitch Lapenas - Year 12 This poem was awarded a place in the 2011 Schools Poetry and Short Story Competition.

YEAR 12 COSI PERFORMANCE The re-enactment of Louis Nowras’s ‘Cosi’ was met with laughs and humour from the Year 12 audience in the PAC late term three. Having learnt the play in early February, it was a fantastic opportunity for us to revisit it before the November English exam.

Five actors covered the whole cast in a seamless depiction of Lewis Riley’s journey from a timid university graduate to directing a play in a Melbourne mental institution. The portrayal of Doug, a raging pyromaniac, in more than revealing underwear, was a memory that left the Year 12s with a laugh.

On behalf of the year level, I would like to thank all involved who made this possible.

NAJAF MAZARI & ROBERT HILLMAN PRESENTATION As part of the Year 12 English course we were privileged enough to get to listen to a presentation

by Najaf Mazari and Robert Hillman, co-authors of the novel, “The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif,” that we studied this year. Seeing Najaf in person, whose life story as a survivor of war in Afghanistan and as an Australian asylum seeker was a fascinating experience for us and helped connect our reading and knowledge of the ‘boat people’ saga to our own lives. I found Najaf’s humorous observations on the differences between Australia and Afghanistan particularly useful and I am sure many students will use the ideas he gave in their ‘Encountering Conflict’ essays.

Chris Knight

BOY OVERBOARD My role in the play “Boy Overboard” is the Director.

As a Director I have to work with the actors and make sure they know their lines and where they should be. I also have to make sure all the costumes and music are coming along, I also have to work closely with the cameramen.

I feel ... Like the play is coming along really well and everyone is doing their role.

I think … I think that the costumes will look good.

I wonder … How the finished product will turn out.

Tom Foley - Year 7 I think... that our classes play is coming together well, also I think I am handling my role well.

I feel... curious towards the way the play will come together but I am sure the class will do a great job.

I wonder... how the other classes are finding the task and which classes play will turn out the best.

English WHOSE REALITY?

around the room and are met with a blanket of suffocating darkness and the dull humming glow of the monitor. It is an unpleasant contrast between the cloudless skies outside and the glowing warmth framing a picturesque summers day. A day admired by all except for him.

His shoulders curve over and in, slouching, assuming a position emanating his lack of confidence. It has been a slow progression to this point. There was once a time when he was accepted by society, embraced even. Not now, not even the fringes of our society have room.

Monitor, microphone and speakers drown out the day’s tranquillity, like so many others before it. The barking of machine guns fills the void created. Once days such as this would have been embraced, not anymore, that was a previous life. Now only the thin puddle of light that leaks past the curtain reminds of a previous world – a distant past.

I watch in wonder.

Not wonder, but curiosity at the direct and undeniable contrasts between our worlds. We exist in the same world, school and age, yet are as opposite as day and night.

His existence is a complex notion, not easily defined; he exists in a realm, albeit not our realm which is uninviting of his presence. He could not possibly reside amongst us as shock consumes his body at human contact, so seldom is it ever found. His body twists and contorts in unnatural ways, bleary, emotionless eyes meeting those attempting to infiltrate the fortress of solidarity he has created.

A room frames his reality.

A weak yellowing glow spills out of the darkness that engulfs his room. The monitor.

It and the perpetual musty smells that impose themselves upon visitors are constants. They are distinct physical components separating our world from his. The remnants of previous night’s dinners, teenage body odour filled clothes strewn across the floor and an unmade bed are evidence he exists here physically. But our world is not his world.

The monitor, the computer, the room are his sanctum. He was once exposed to the harsh realities of growing up; the taunts, the pressures and unreachable standards, but not now, technology is his saviour. These times and life are long forgotten, replaced by a second identity created by the game.

Technology’s grasp on his realm is utter domination.

The virtual world now controls his life.

His mother now only calls once in vain for him to come to dinner in the hope they can sit and talk.

But all she gets in return is the constant keyboard chatter that echoes through the house. She knows not to expect an answer. Picturing him slouched in his chair, eyes fixated on the glow. The glow that has destroyed one life and created another.

What caused this? Did the harassment, pressures and social failures take their toll? Paranoia has corrupted his life with us, but this does not seep into his second world where he is king.

Framed photos hang sporadically across the walls as reminders of previous times, friendships come and gone. His room has two chairs, although now only one is ever used. The other sits in the corner as a dust collecting remnant of another life, a life that seems so incomprehensible to him now.

The virtual world rescued him. It stands prominently in his life. He immersed entirely. He has found the freedom and acceptance he yearned for but could never find among us.

Trophies too collect dust, hidden in his wardrobe.

They represent sporting accolades of past times, success in our world an unfortunately distant memory. The objects in his room hold no meaning now. Memento’s, they are nothing but memories.

It doesn’t seem natural.

That’s not the word. Human.

It doesn’t seem that he is with us.

A computer game is his new life.

He never came back to his old one.

“7F had an intriguing visit from Drew Shum.

Drew was a member of the Australian National Army.

He shared his experiences of when he served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our class gained knowledge about the war and the Taliban which is relevant to our study of the play “Boy Overboard”.

Some of Drew’s experiences were terrifying.

Overall we really enjoyed Drew’s visit.

It was really educational.”

Health & Physical Education “One of the great aspects of these subjects is the opportunities boys have to participate in these challenging activities.

Seeing young men overcome their fears, realise they can achieve success in an outdoor activity, or just have a fantastic time with their mates that they will remember long after their school days are over is so satisfying!”

- Mark Rayson & Claire Wrigley

Another year has flown by in the Outdoor Education, Health and Physical Education faculty.

Students have been busy on camps and excursions and working on improving their everyday health and fitness levels. As another year draws to a close we reflect upon what students have been doing in the PE and Health areas.

For the first time,Year 7s undertook health as a semester based unit taught by the homerooms physical education teacher. Therefore one semester the boys had two periods of PE and two periods of Health. Subsequently in the other semester they had two periods of PE. This has worked really well allowing students to build a great relationship with their teacher which is vital when discussing such topic as sex and drug education. The boys have really enjoyed Health and many have commented that it was a subject ‘real’ and ‘relevant’ to them.

In Physical Education this year we worked towards developing students’ fitness levels, skills and selfconfidence. Throughout the year many students have improved their fitness level and developed a number of different skills across many sports. Fitness testing still remains a key component of the PE program from Year 7 – 11, with boys completing a battery of tests in Term 1 and 4. Every year the boys seem to be raising the bar a little more and achieving excellent results!

We have seen another increase in the number of students choosing Outdoor Education subjects this year, and with the range of exciting practical options being offered in this area, it’s not surprising to see why.

Students have been offered many and varied experiences to support the theory component of these subjects, from Wet and Wild at Year 9, Action Attraction at Year 10 to VCE Outdoor and Environmental Studies. With rock climbing, downhill skiing, caving, mountain biking, surfing and snorkelling with seals as examples, students have ‘got out and about’ to learn about environments in our community and around the state, as well as test themselves in a variety of challenging situations.

One of the great aspects of these subjects is the opportunities boys have to participate in these challenging activities – ones which they may never otherwise have the chance to experience. Seeing young men overcome their fears, realise they can achieve success in an outdoor activity, or just have a fantastic time with their mates that they will remember long after their school days are over is so satisfying!

We look forward to offering more of these experiences so that the boys learn about the world around us in a practical way.

This yyear we tried to take a more fitness develo development approach and introduced a “Bootcamp” unit at a Year 11 where boys were put through

108

their paces using ropes, tyres and sand bags. The majority of boys enjoyed this challenge and worked hard throughout the classes. A boxing set was also purchased this year to use in PE classes. Staff participated in a boxing session to obtain the skills to teach a session to the boys. Students in Year 9 completed a two week boxing unit in term four with many students surprised at the high level of intensity required.

Thank you to all Health and Physical Education staff who have worked tirelessly to ensure our classes are a meaningful, vibrant and enjoyable place for the boys to learn.

LOTE 2011 has been a very busy and exciting year for LOTE. To begin with we have been fortunate to receive a government grant of $20,000 from the National Asian Languages and Studies in Schools Program (NALSSP) Becoming Asia Literate: Grants to Schools. This all came about through the collaboration of our Chinese department and our Director of Curriculum. We are now considering setting up a language laboratory that will be able to be used by all language students.

Another first for St Joseph’s College will be the introduction of Chinese Vet in schools. This pilot program, commencing in 2012, will be introduced

by Mr Wei Zhang who will co-ordinate the introduction of this together with the assistance of the other Chinese teachers. We are excited and hope that it will encourage more students to continue with the study of Chinese.

Year 9 and 10 students of Chinese also participated in an exchange program with students students of Chinese from Matthew Flinders. They spent several lunchtimes conversing in Chinese while sharing a traditional Chinese meal.

In Term 3 all our Year 9 and 10 LOTE students and 40 Year 8 students were involved in the ACER testing. It was a challenging task but all students stepped up and did their best. Well done!

Our annual Year10 Italian Camp with SHC at Anglesea was another success. Students spent 2 days engaging in Italian language based activities that enhanced their oral and written skills.

The Opera was a great experience for our Year 11 and 12 students of Italian. For some it was their first time to the Opera and hopefully the first of many more. The boys together with the students from SHC dressed up and enjoyed a wonderful night The Educational Tour of Italy 2011, which includes a week’s stay in Milan with host families, entrance to the Ferrari showroom, an afternoon of chocolate heaven at the Perugina Chocolate Anna Fazio & Louise Madden celebrate Festa Della Repubblica

factory and two weeks of touring Italy, is well on its way to being finalised. This year we have 37 year 10 and 11 students from St Joseph’s and Sacred Heart heading off to Italy in December. All are very excited and hopefully will have a wonderful experience.

Which brings me to another significant event within our LOTE department. The time has come to farewell Louise Madden. Louise joined St Joseph’s College in 2006, after having taught at Sacred Heart College and Channel College for many years. Louise has always been an enthusiastic teacher of Italian, always open to learning and very dedicated and caring in her teaching of the language. A well respected teacher and colleague, Louise has always been eager to promote a language whether it is Chinese or Italian. Her passion and love of languages is evident. Louise’s experience in travelling has been a great asset to St Joseph’s College, especially when organising our trips to Italy. On behalf of the LOTE department we wish Louise all the best for the future and I thank her for her support and guidance over the years that I have known her. Buona Fortuna Louise!!!

CHINESE VET

From 2012, St Joseph’s College is introducing a new program in Chinese: a combined course of Chinese VCE and Chinese VET. This course is very flexible and beneficial. If a student is enrolled in a Chinese class in Year 9, he is automatically doing the VET course. By Year 10 or 11, he will have accomplished Certificates 2 and 3, which are recognised nationally.

If the student decides to go further and do VCE, he simply continues with his Chinese learning. Or, if the student originally intends to do VCE Chinese, but by Year 11 or 12 changes his mind, he can simply quit but will still have his VET certificates. This course is sure to encourage more students to learn Chinese, as it offers our students more opportunities.

Wei Zhang

“Our boys have taken part in different activities including participation in the International AFL in MCG this August where our Asia Literacy Ambassador was a co-coach for a Chinese National AFL team. We believe that our boys have come to better understand the relevance of learning Asian languages and culture in Australia today.”

Science “2011 has been an exciting year in Science.

Students have been involved in a myriad of inquiry based learning activities that not only engages the students in applied learning but help foster skills that promotes independent learning.”

FROM THE COORDINATOR

2011 has been an exciting year in Science. Students have been involved in a myriad of inquiry based learning activities that not only engages the students in applied learning but help foster skills that promotes independent learning. These activities placed the students into situations where they have to work in teams in order to solve involved problems that mimic real life situations. The units introduced included “I am Scientist” (Year 7), where students have to video themselves through a series of experiments and deduce which is the best method to recycle water based on a particular scenario. “Engineering” was the main focus in Year 8 where the students have had to place themselves in specific engineering professions i.e. electrical and civil and collaborate to build a working pinball machine. In the Year 9 “Forensic Science” unit students were asked to solve a crime using a range of experiments and theorise how the crime was committed and who committed the crime.

2011 also saw the introduction of applied science in Year 8. The unit offered students a chance to hone in on their literacy and numeracy skills and apply their knowledge to solve problems and provide solutions to a variety of practical situations. Our applied Science 9 “The Patch” enrolment doubled this year and the site had to be upgraded to cater for the growing student population. Four new beds were built and the students planted a variety of heirloom vegetables. Other duties included integrated pest management, biodiversity in the Barwon region, water testing and sustainable practices. The main focus for the students down at The Patch was team work and wellbeing.

The students have also assisted in the general maintenance of the college grounds.

On 23 June the Grade 5 and 6s St Therese Primary visited our College and participated in some Science activities. The activities which were student led and facilitated were conducted in the labs and down at The Patch. Feedback from the students ensured we will continue to form partnerships with other primary schools in 2012.

Opportunities arose for year levels to participate in a range of activities. Year 7 leaders and Conservation and Land Management students

participated in their annual Tree Planting Day. The students planted over 600 trees with assistance from the Geelong Landcare Network. Year 7s participated in the in school activities based on the Forensic Science unit called “Forensic Frenzy”. This year students participated in a myriad of activities including our annual Tree Planting Day where the Year 7s planted over 800 trees with assistance from Greening Australia Barwon Water, and Geelong Landcare Network and Corangamite Water Watch.

The Year 7s and Year 8s participated in the in school activities based on the Forensic Science unit called “A Case of Conspiracy” and CSIRO’s “Forensic Frenzy”. The students also attended excursions to the Planetarium and Science Works. The Year 9s participated in CSIRO’s Nanotechnology interactive workshop in which students investigate the unique properties of nano-sized materials. A select group of Year 10s were given the opportunity to attend the Science and Engineering Challenge. Students were pitted against other schools and were engaged in a series of exciting competitive activities. These activities were designed to demonstrate the varied and practical elements of a career in the science and engineering industries.

Five students; Thomas Attard, Daniel Brugman, Alexander Crosbie, Adam Mcbride and Nicholas Ng received an invitation to attend the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF). Thomas, Daniel, Alexander, Adam and Nicholas are four out of a handful of recipients in Geelong and approximately 450 chosen from Australia and overseas to attend the much lauded forum held in Canberra and Perth in January 2012. For twelve days the boys will live on campus as a university student and meet a range of scientists and researchers, to visit them at work and do the kinds of things scientists do every day. The NYSF participants debate the hottest science and engineering topics and pick up valuable skills to give them the edge in Year 12 and beyond. It also fosters discussion and interest in major national and global issues.

I would like to also take this opportunity to thank all of our dedicated team members and students for their continued enthusiasm and diligent approach to participating in building our Science curriculum and look forward to an exciting and innovative 2012.

Science TREE PLANTING DAY

St Joseph’s College students have done their bit to build a cleaner and greener future in 2011. On Friday 29 July,Year 7 student leaders and Year 10 students studying Conservation and Land Management planted trees along the mid-section of the Barwon River (near Murgheboluc). Working with Bronte Payne from LandCare, and the land owner, these students put in a solid day’s work to plant the trees and to place guards around each plant to protect them from the rabbits.

We were blessed to have fine weather and I think everyone enjoyed the warmth of the sunshine and the opportunity to spend the day outside the classroom. I was impressed by the way the Year 10 students worked with the younger students to pass on their knowledge. More impressive was how quickly the Year 7 student leaders gained their independence and took charge of their work.

Antoine Saleh showed true spirit by working with one arm in a plaster cast. By the end of the day we finished planting trees in 3 sections of the Barwon River and these students should be suitably proud of the job they performed. Thanks to Bronte Payne from Landcare for giving us this opportunity and thanks to Mr Adam Colak and Ms Samantha Eggleton for helping supervise the day.

SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CHALLENGE

In Term 2 a group of Year 10 boys were chosen to represent the school at Science engineering competition at Deakin University. We were split into smaller groups and participated in individual challenges against other schools from the region.

Some boys participated in smaller half day activities such as making the best paper plane, powering a city and building a propeller powered car. St Joseph’s students excelled at the two full day challenges building the bridge and the mars rover challenge, finishing first and second respectively. All the activities challenged us on our scientific and engineering ability. Overall the school finished in a

very respectable second position.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE STUDENTS FISH FOR CARP

VCE Unit 1 Environmental Science students have been studying the effects that introduced species have on the environment. The European Carp is one example of an introduced fish species that has been slowly spreading through the waterways of southern Australia since their introduction into the Murray River system in the early 1960s. Once established these fish are near impossible to remove.

In the classroom we used the deliberate/incidental introduction of the European Carp into Tasmanian inland waterways as a case study to examine the techniques authorities use to first contain, and then hopefully eliminate an introduced pest species.

Having completed the class work, I thought we would do something practical such as catching ourselves a real live carp from the Barwon River.

Armed with 6 fishing lines and 3 tins of corn, we walked down to the Barwon River and chose a stretch of bank that looked promising. We ground baited the area using corn, rigged our lines and used corn kernels as bait. Jeremy Sismaet was the first to register a bite. Jeremy was unsure if he had snagged his line on a submerged log until the carp dashed across the river. After a tense battle, the fish was led to the landing net. We quickly dispatched the fish because it is illegal to return carp to the water. We talked about the biology of this fish, we dissected the carp to reveal thousands of eggs that were ready to spawn. Thanks to Jeremy’s newly acquired knowledge of rigging fishing line, tying knots and angling skill, we were able to translate some of the concepts we discussed in the classroom into real applied learning.

While luck may have been on our side, I think the fact we proved it possible to catch fish in the middle of Geelong was an eye opening moment for several students.

EXCERPTS FROM “THE PATCH” BLOG 2011 The Patch is an initiative that began in 2009 as a part of Applied Science, now 2 years on it has proved to be very successful. The idea of ‘The Patch’ is simple; give the boys a chance to develop their understanding of science theory by engaging them in an authentic project outside of the ’standard’ school laboratory setting.The boys maintain an ongoing Blog which follows their achievments and progress in The Patch during the year.The following are some excerpts from the boys this year: This year I learnt what a crop rotation is, different types of plants, and what tools needed to be used for certain types of jobs. We have come a long way since January. We have been working hard. We have made small temporary flower beds and have worms to look after, the big flower beds are looking really good and the herb garden was fixed up. The chickens have been laying a load of eggs which means they are in good health and are in a good environment to lay eggs. Hopefully at the end of the term the patch looks really good because we have been work on it all year and we want our hard work to pay off.

Billy Now that I have been here working at the patch for three quarters of the year I feel like I could go home and start my own patch and it will run very smoothly, the things I have learnt from being down at the patch that I wouldn’t have from any other class at Joeys and that makes me feel good.

Dean McNay Before the holidays started my group’s garden was still pretty big we have not been harvesting anything so a lot of it has grown. I remember how when I first started how bad the patch looked with all the dead plants and plain dirt so you could imagine how my face was when I saw the patch this morning the tiny plants we had planted were large and growing fast and the plants that were already big were massive!! My group’s patch was literally a small

jungle of vegetables.

I’m glad to say that the new tomatoes that we planted have grown… very, very big! But still have a fair bit to go. The flower bed which was also added is doing very well. There seems to be a couple of weeds growing but nothing we can’t handle.

As I may have mentioned more potatoes seem to be popping up and not just in my patch there are heaps growing in lots of people’s patches. Can’t wait until we can take them home!

With how fast everything is growing at the patch it wouldn’t surprise me if the whole area would become a massive jungle of vegetables and flowers.

Sam M When I first came down to the patch, my patch wasn’t very good because weeds had taken over the garden. I have gained so much knowledge about gardening and about rivers, worms and more. In Term 4 we will be making a pizza oven down at the patch which should be good. In our groups we had a box which we filled with hay, paper dirt and a little bit of water to make a home for our worms. At the moment I am growing a lot of things including beans which are growing very fast, peas and more James F I have been down at the patch for three terms over that time I have learnt many different things. I have learnt how to plant seedlings, use tools properly, name most plants, work together, rotating crops and worm farming.

Recently we have been planting the seeds we put in the greenhouse a while ago. My garden has lots of new plants in there growing like carrots, lettuces and beetroot. It still has some spring onions that are close to being ready.

Thank you to our many kind students who assisted on these special occasions.

Food Technology at St Joseph’s in 2011 created some special magic with a major increase in the number of pathways students electing to complete units in Years 8, 9 and 10. The boys were accommodated at each year level and performed magic of their own in pathways units, covering International Food Technology, Food and Nutrition and Trends in Food Technology. The 2011 introductory Food Technology classes for Year 7 students showed greater numbers than ever before while VCE classes ensured senior student numbers were maintained in Years 11 and 12.

The annual Pathways Inter-house Cookery Competition for 2011 will be held in Term 4 and promises to be spellbinding. Students are challenged to perform at a high skill level with some real wizardry on show, in order to be named the winner.

We welcomed a new staff member in Leanne Rivett to our busy team in 2011. I would like to thank our Food Technology staff, Leanne Rivett, Julie McDonald, Suzanne Walsh and Maree Blomeley for their valuable contribution throughout the year.

Happy cooking!

This year has seen the long-awaited expansion of our Automotive Department. This has been a positive outcome for both staff and students by facilitating the introduction of new and innovative curriculum.

Our CAD department has focused on 3D modelling software called “SolidWorks” and this has resulted in students producing some interesting concepts.

ICT and Systems Engineering have, as always, strived hard to make student learning both a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

SOFTWARE & PROGRAMMING

I have found this subject thoroughly enjoyable.

Despite its challenging nature, programming is a rewarding experience and I definitely do not regret selecting the subject. At the beginning of the semester we were taught to create very simple programs using Visual Basic and as we progressed we were taught more difficult code to create more extensive programs. One application has been a small game which made horses run across the screen and the final assignment was to create our own program by ourselves.

COMPUTER BITS AND BYTES

This is an exciting, hands-on, innovative class where we learn about the insides of computers and how to build computers. We also learn how a computer reads and writes information, this includes the binary system and hexadecimal system. We learnt how to network, set up IP addresses and how information is transferred through a network. We have also learnt how much computers have changed over the years.

I enjoyed the class and would recommend it to anyone who has any interest in computers.

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN

In Computer Aided design, we were given the assignment of creating our own unique picture frame in SolidWorks. We had to research and draft our final idea. I decided to design a photo frame which could hold numerous photos. I used 3 different parts to create the final piece. I designed the base which was a wide cylinder with a small hole where the rod would fit in. I then designed the rod which would hold the frames. The frame is a large cylinder which has a layer around where 4 photos can fit. I used an assembly to place all the parts together to create the final picture frame. I used Photoworks to render the texture which gives it a realistic look with textures like aluminium and chrome steel.

GAME DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT This subject focuses on how the computer-gaming industry works. We are split up into “Companies”.

Our company is producing a game called “Soviet Zombies Stalin’s Revenge”. We have three members, myself, Austin Daly and Levi West. My role is lead programmer and I am also the sound engineer, I create all the sound effects and music in the game.

Austin is our lead artist creating all the graphics for our game. Levi is our lead designer - he creates the storyline, levels and designs for characters. Our game would be classified as a top down zombie shooter, where you see the characters from a birds- eye view.

THE PITS & GENTLEMEN START YOUR ENGINES

On a Wednesday lunch six of us boys get together in the pits room to service and fix the RC Cars that the school have bought for our classes. Every month we head out on the Zampatti oval to have a go at driving them. It’s great fun and it gives us the chance to learn how to fix and service an engine. It’s a great learning experience for us and a great chance that the school has given us. The cars are used in The Pits and Gentleman Start Your Engines classes.

ROBOTICS IN ACTION

In the subject “Robotics in Action”, we learned how to build and program Lego NXT robots. We all enjoyed working together to make them and learn about how all the different sensors work, how they activate certain parts of the robot’s programming.

The thing we most enjoyed about this subject was making the robot the way we wanted it to look and work.

YEAR 12 VCE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Our first year of VCE Systems engineering was a steep learning curve for many and saw us starting from scratch with printed circuit boards and working our way up to eventually designing and constructing our own self-controlled robots using microprocessors. We handmade and perfected our designs and went through meticulous testing to make sure that our systems worked to perfection.

Our robots were designed to avoid objects through touch sensors and some even used infrared remotes. As the year draws to an end, more and more people have begun work on researching and

During the systems engineering class of 2011 our project was to make a bump and respond Axebot. This robot has a dual motor drive and reacts whenever its feelers come in contact with an obstacle. The problems I have had building the Axebot was to get all the wiring neat and to join the wiring with solder. I overcame these problems by redoing the joints of the wires and re-directing the wires somewhere else to be more presentable.

I did enjoy making the body and doing the wiring of the Axebot. What makes this Axebot different is that it has tracks. The tracks have benefited it by giving it more grip and pulling power. The classes have benefited me in many ways, such as the understanding many different types of systems such as microprocessors and the understanding of the electrical and mechanical systems in system engineering.

Student Support Services Life is not made up of great sacrifices and duties but of little things in which smiles and kindness given habitually are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort.” Sir Humphrey Davy, 1778- 1829 St Joseph’s College motto ‘Ad Alta Virtute’ is the basis of our teachings at Educational Support Services. Striving for the highest is our aim to support and guide all students in reaching their potential and future goals.

In 2011 there were 55 students who received funding from the Catholic Education Office through LNSLN (Literacy and Numeracy Special Learning Needs).

With compassion, integrity and innovation our dedicated and very supportive team of educators contribute enormously beyond the call of duty to the students’ social and educational needs, encouraging them to gain a sense of identity, achievement and worth.

included Money Math (shopping), social skills (conversation through role playing), planning a trip to ‘Madcap Café’ (independence) and thinking strategies (discussion on ways to solve problems in everyday life.)

As in previous years we have continued with the Horse-Riding Program and the Breakfast Club classes; classes for Year 7 students who need a little extra support in the literacy area.

The opportunity of foundation classes for students continues to be very positive and productive.

Many strategies are taught to develop students’ independence and academic achievements. These classes are smaller in numbers and have modified curriculum content, focusing on small group activities, individualised programs and assistance, setting goals and monitoring progress.

The Educational Support staff area continues to grow in strength and numbers.

Our sincere thanks and appreciation go to the kindness of the Josephines for their continued financial support. The monies raised this year supported our tutoring for the Sudanese and Congolese students.

Our goals are to

VCAL 2011 was another busy, productive and successful year for the SJC VCAL students and staff. We had a total of 35 boys enrolled into the Intermediate program and 18 enrolled into the Senior program.

The VCAL program is designed to assist students who have aspirations to join the workforce. Our boys were engaged and succeeded in completing a number of activities across many different areas of focus – the emphasis being on expanding their knowledge and skills whilst developing their employability skills. Many of our students were successful in gaining meaningful employment and apprenticeships during the year.

It was the first year we delivered a VCAL Literacy strand. Mrs Leah Irving worked tirelessly designing and implementing a program that the Senior boys thoroughly enjoyed and got much out of. The unit of work was also nominated as an ‘exemplar’ by the VCAL Quality Assurance (QA) panel-a great achievement- well done Leah!

The Senior Literacy class completed a crime unit entitled Chopper Reads…and Writes. In addition to text and film studies students participated in several activities designed to heightened their awareness of crime locally and globally. A visit to Marngoneet Correctional Facility to meet with long term prisoners and prison staff opened their eyes to the reality of prison life. The students were also fortunate enough to participate in a forum on gangs and street violence at the Geelong Performing Arts Centre presented by former Los Angeles gang member Alfred Lomas. Meeting a real life gangster was a highlight for the boys. Guest speaker Ben O’Toole, the face of Geelong’s responsible partying

campaign ‘Just Think’ held a round table discussion on how to be safe when partying and how to deal with conflict. Following this we participated in a boxing session at a local gym focusing on self-defence skills.

This year again, our students had conducted themselves extremely well when out doing their Structured Workplace Learning (SWL.) Feedback from the employers throughout the year was very positive with regard to work ethic and the maturity of our boys - well done gentlemen! The boys worked across a range of different industries and shared stories and experiences of challenges faced, complex tasks completed, working hard at something and the satisfaction that comes with that, working within a team environment, applying what they have been taught and shown at school to a ‘real life’ situation, gaining confidence and self esteem, developing ownership and responsibility, excelling in areas of competencies, receiving praise and recognition from the boss!

I wish to thank all the VCAL staff for their hard work, professionalism and dedication. A special ‘thanks’ and well done to Mrs Lauren Flint who joined the team for the first time this year – her input and hard work was greatly appreciated and well received by the boys. I would also like to thank Shane Dawson, Zara Walter and Karen Shum for assisting and working with many of the boys to achieve their goals during the course of the year. For our VCAL students to meet and successfully complete their outcomes requires cooperation and support from all the SJC staff – including admin and maintenance – and for this we as a faculty are appreciative of everyone who has assisted us and the boys for their effort and understanding.

“The boys worked across a range of different industries and shared stories and experiences of challenges faced, complex tasks completed, working hard at something and the satisfaction that comes with that” - Leah Irving

Lastly, I thank all the 2011 VCAL students for their cooperation and wish them all the very best for their future schooling and careers. It has been a pleasure getting to know you and helping to provide you with the best possible opportunity to pursue your career goals and ambitions. GOOD LUCK! From the VCAL STAFF- the team!

Mrs Lauren Flint, Mrs Leah Irving, Mr Peter Canaway, Mr Peter O’Connor & Mr Tom Trupkovic

Careers “Careers week aims to assist students to make more informed decisions, and, in particular, to have access to accurate and timely information when making choices which are going to shape their future.”

- Karen Shum

The Careers Office is always a hive of activity throughout the year. It is a place where students are welcomed to investigate and explore career options, to locate and take away information, and importantly to access one-on-one careers counselling and guidance. The Careers Office organises a number of careers events throughout the year including Careers Week, the Year 10 Work Experience Program, and a number of guest speaker visits and career excursions. Some of the highlights of Careers in 2011 are shared below, as well as exciting future plans and developments.

AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW

Ten students, from Years 9 -11, attended the Australian Airshow and Aerospace and Defence Exposition in March. The purpose of this excursion was to inform students about the possible career pathways in the aerospace industry. Activities consisted of a number of presentations from industry representatives and the young ambassadors program. All students found the excursion to be informative, insightful and useful for their future career planning. The Avalon Airshow is a biannual event. For those interested, the careers excursion will take place again in 2013!

WORK EXPERIENCE WEEK

Industry and Enterprise is a compulsory subject for all Year 10 students. It takes place in the first semester of Year 10. This subject allows students to investigate how work is undertaken in Australian society, and involves an overview of the major employment sectors and how they relate to the labour market. Industry and Enterprise culminates in one week of work experience, which this year took place during the week of 2-6 May. Students were able to gain work experience in a wide range of industries and occupations including the Victorian Police, a wide range of construction positions, antique restoration, sports medicine, journalism, local council, the law courts and many more. With over 240 students in Year 10, finding work experience can be challenging. However, with the continued support of local employers, parents, and the SJC Old

120

Collegians, all boys were able to find fulfilling work experience positions.

ALCOA YOUTH LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP

Once again, St Joseph College students were successful in their pursuit of the Alcoa Youth Leadership Scholarship awards. Daniel Brugman (Year 11) and Jakeb Fair (Year 10) were both winners of the 2011 Alcoa Youth Leadership Scholarships. What makes their achievement even more remarkable is the fact that there were only 50 scholarships on offer, worldwide.

The Leadership Camp took place at the Dwight International School, Shawnigan Lake, Canada. Upon their return from the leadership camp, Daniel and Jakeb shared their experiences during a senior school assembly commenting that their experiences were memorable, rewarding and life changing.

DEFENCE TECHNICAL SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS

This year over 2000 applications were received for the 2011 Defence Technical Scholarships (DTS) from students across Australia. The DTS is a highly contested award. It has been designed to encourage students to stay at school and complete Year 11 and 12 whilst studying mathematics and technical subjects. Well done to Taylor Meesen (Year 11) and Connor Blythe (Year 12) who were awarded scholarships this year.

CAREERS WEEK

Careers Week is the main event for the Careers office at St Joseph’s College. A great deal of preparation and organisation takes place, behind the scenes, to prepare a Careers Week program that is both interesting and informative for students.

Careers Week aims to assist students to make more informed decisions, and, in particular, to give them access to accurate and timely information when making choices which are going to shape their future.

The program during Careers Week, in 2011, included presentations from a variety of speakers who spoke of their careers and what they had done to get to

Careers where they are today. Their insights and advice were very informative. Many of these speakers were parents of students at both St Joseph’s College and Sacred Heart and their contribution to the careers education of the boys was much appreciated and valued by all.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The Career Development program at St Joseph’s College continues to evolve and expand to ensure it will meet the needs of students now and in the future. Some of the future plans for Careers at SJC are included in this year’s magazine.

The Victorian Careers Curriculum Framework (VCCF) will be introduced across all year levels, from 2012. The framework will provide students with explicit career development skills to equip them with the competencies to make informed choices and effectively manage their own careers and transition, throughout their lives. The career curriculum lessons will be included as part of the RE program at the College. Further information on the VCCF is available on the St Joseph’s College Careers blog.

Research shows that parental involvement is one of the biggest factors influencing the development of a child’s sense of the world of work, and their ideas about future career opportunities. In 2012, in order to strengthen the career development of students at the College, the Careers Coordinator will offer parents the ability to be trained to assist their son in his career development through the ‘Lasting gifts’ program.

‘Career Voyage’ is an online vocational occupation testing tool that aims to assist students with their career choices. Career Voyage leads students through a systematic decision making process. It broadens horizons by looking at the whole range of occupations. Sometimes the jobs suggested confirm a student’s existing ideas and provide backup by listing similar jobs. For other students, the program often suggests jobs not heard of or not previously considered. Career Voyage will be available to all year 10 students in 2013.

“For some students heading off one afternoon a week is ‘the great escape’ from school that they really need.

The ‘handson’ approach really appeals to a lot of our students and many have thrived in this environment.”

- Zara Walter

VET 2011 saw me take on the role of VET (Vocational Education & Training) Coordinator from Term 2 onwards. Although it has been a challenge, it has proved to be very rewarding and enjoyable.VET enrolments continue to grow at St Joseph’s. We had approximately 220 students undertaking a vocational certificate this year through VET or School-based Apprenticeships.

Each Monday and Wednesday afternoon the boys headed off to their various training providers to study their chosen certificate; this could be anything from Information Technology to Carpentry or Fitness. Many of the students even attended classes during school term breaks. For some students, heading off one afternoon a week is ‘the great escape’ from school that they really need. The

‘hands-on’ approach really appeals to a lot of our students and many have thrived in this environment.

VET provides students with the opportunity to explore their chosen career path and will often enhance their school studies. Many VET programs require or allow students the opportunity to undertake ‘work placement’ which involves students attending a work place one day a week or in the school holidays. This is an excellent way for students to develop their vocational skills - some students have even been lucky enough to have been offered full-time apprenticeships after undertaking work placement. As you can see from the photos below, the boys have been very hard at work this year.

Ad Alta “The boys have displayed over the year a real growth in maturity and shown themselves to be capable more than ever to enter the workforce or to continue their studies here at St Joseph’s.”

- Simon Cahir

The year started quickly with work experience arriving before any of us were ready but the boys responded well leaping into the task with energy and enthusiasm. Some of the students found it more challenging than others and took a while to settle down to what real work is. Others enjoyed it and were surprised to discover the pay was very healthy.

Martial Arts was also challenging for some of the boys to apply the discipline needed in class and to remember each punch and kick needed to pass their gradings. To their credit they have persevered and completed a number of belts and are now competent with a Certificate 2 in Sports Coaching. I am grateful to Ms Joanne Board for her tireless efforts to encourage these boys to persist and do their best and eventually achieve their belts.

This year Lands and Conservation Management was trialled as a new Certificate, it was a learning experience for all of us as we worked through some hurdles to get the program running smoothly. The boys learned a lot and had a very enjoyable overnight camp. National Tree Planting Day was also a success.

The tree planting was also supported by the boys going to a local reserve to assist in the bone seed eradication program. The boys all participated with great gusto removing large amounts of bone seed. I would like to thank Adam Morrissey for his endless enthusiasm in this subject and the creativity he applied to teaching.

The boys also had the opportunity to complete a VCE subject Industry and Enterprise and Vocational Preparation under the guidance of Ms Leah Irving. We also had a wonderful overnight stay raising funds and awareness for Cancer and women’s health. The night was celebrated with a very moving and emotional

122

liturgy remembering those women in our lives that are important to us. The following day was a “Car Wash Day” and was an amazing success which saw the boys working all day and finally having lunch at 2:30!! The boys raised after expenses $2,203 for Breast and Cervical Cancer research! Ms Irving was always working solidly for the boys anticipating their needs and assisting them whenever she could beyond the classroom walls.

Another highlight I think has probably been the Community Based Religious Education program.

The boys were involved with the Geelong Food Bank (packing and labelling goods) Primary school assistants (helping students learn in years one to 4) and later in the year forming a real friendship with a group of teenage refugees from Vietnam. The conclusion to the year was sleep over in Melbourne and assisting at the soup kitchens on the night in St Kilda and Footscray areas. The following day was spent volunteering at aged care and physical and mental disability centres. The boys were challenged and responded to the cause. I congratulate all of them on their maturity and enthusiasm. Mr Anthony Chapman has been a sensational resource and help in all things community based and I believe the boys have learnt a lot from the experiences he made available to them.

The boys have displayed over the year a real growth in maturity and shown themselves to be capable more than ever to enter the workforce or to continue their studies here at St Joseph’s. The year has been challenging to us all teachers and students alike but I genuinely feel that we are have all learnt a lot from each other and the experience of being part of Ad Alta 2011.
