The Legacy of the Watchman by Julia Pickersgill

His eyes are like beacons,his body a lighthouse guiding the way

for the ghosts of his past,wisps of morning mist

dance to the beat of his brokenand scarred heart.He is a Watchman

and this land is his own.His childhood was orange,

a tree covered in monarch butterflies,apricot-hued skies, a crackling fire

and its glowing embers.He yearns to see the faces of his elders

once more in the molten amberof those lost years.

It is a barren land he safeguards,parched earth where there

once was life,its people lost

to the insidious hands of time.Behind closed lids he sees his home,

a plain of sunflowersthe colour of melted butter,

standing tall and proud,facing east towards the dying sun

in their last vibrant days.He sees streams and tadpoles

and round-bellied children,gentle rain wets their bright faces

and they know of no evil.The scent of chamomile

and cinnamon lingers in the air,it is a place of safety,

familiarity.But his are eyes open

and he is reminded of cruelty,of thunder and lightning and hopelessness,

of war and terror.He no longer sees a field of sunflowers,

and the children of this landare grown.

Destined to watch overthe remnants of his home,

he mourns for his past,but where death wields its gnarled hand,

life persists.A new sun kisses the horizon,

naïve in nature, pure in intention,and when he looks out

and watches it set over his kingdom,he catches a glimpse

of the golden brass of his childhood,of slow evenings,

and the dipped-in-honey hazethat covers his precious memories.

One day he will returnto the perpetual summer of his youth

where the sunflowers grew,and his lost hours will become

marigold-coloured gems,glistening in the sun.

But until then,he is a Watchman

and this land is his own.

Dear Parents;

NAIDOC Week is held around Australia in July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

One of the greatest achievements of the Aboriginal peoples is surely their determination and their ongoing ability to overcome a history of dispossession in their own land.

To your right is a beautiful and award winning poem written by Year 10 student Julia Pickersgill. It speaks of a harsh present set alongside the life giving memories of one who may be a refugee; homeless; a partially conquered one whose dreams are not obliterated by loss. “He is a watch man and this land is his own.” For me the poem speaks of our own land and our own first inhabitants and it celebrates the survival of a culture held strongly in the heart’s memory.

Celebrating Talent in Theatre: Tucked away in a school hall in North Adelaide on last Thursday, Friday and Saturday night the St. Dominic’s Priory College 2017 Musical, ‘Annie’ was performed to appreciative crowds, receiving the highest possible accolades. “As good as a Broadway show,” and “I enjoyed as much as ‘Matilda’” were some of the comments I heard. Well done to the one hundred strong student participants who brought it to stage, and special mention to Honey, the dog. A extra round of applause goes to the staff without whom it could not have been achieved. Sincere thanks and congratulations to Director Victoria Sayner, Music Director Courtney Green, Production Manager David Curran, and to Choreographer and Old Scholar Jessica Spagnuolo.

In Sympathy: Our thoughts and prayers are with the Marafiote and Puccini families in the recent passing of Mr Ilio Puccini, great-grandfather of Daniella Marafiote in Year 8. Riposi in Pace.

End of Term: I wish all our students and staff a well-earned and much needed break.

Students from all Year levels will receive an end of Semester Report in the coming days.

Lastly I would like to offer the deepest thanks to so many in our community, Parents, present and past, Staff, and Students past and present for expressing in so many kind and thoughtful ways your sorrow that Sr. Mary Anne has gone from our world. Our faith teaches in the words of a famous Christian prayer that “life is eternal and love is immortal, and death is only an horizon and an horizon is nothing save the limits of our sight.”

Catholic Schools Music Festival: Last Thursday our Year 6 students had a rehearsal at St Aloysius College. Mrs Baker and Mrs Anna Sordillo were immensely proud of our girls and commented on their excellent behaviour and knowledge of the songs and movements. They would like to acknowledge how impressed they were with the solo performances by Sarah O’Callaghan, Isabella Jovel and Mia Sidhu-Takarabe with each of them singing very well and showing poise and maturity. We also thank Mrs Sordillo who encourages the girls to perform at their best.Uniforms: Please use the time in the holidays to check that uniforms fit appropriately, shoes are cleaned and hair ribbon is purchased if needed.We hope that you have a safe and happy holiday with your families.

Medieval DayOn Wednesday the 28th the Year 4 Class had Medieval Day. Some people thought we had gone back in time. I will tell you what my three favourite things were.1. We read our class novel - We read up to a good part

and we always ask to read more. It was about a princess and a dragon.

2. We had a chess tournament. I was paired with Ella and I won. We had so much fun.

3. We had a Medieval feast. We ate chicken, meat pies, grapes, snakes and cupcakes.

The part I liked the best was the dancing with Mr Simon and Miss Bermata. My favourite dance was the Jumping Dance.

SAPSASA Hockey State CarnivalIn Week 9 this term 4 girls from St Dominic’s; Annaliese Hicks, Annie Kretschmer, Annabel Griffin and myself were selected for the SAPSASA Hockey State Carnival to represent North Adelaide. We competed in Division One. There are 10 teams in this division and our team placed fourth. We thoroughly enjoyed this week and made many new friends.

Lucy Johnson NAB AFL Auskick CarnivalSt Dominic’s girls (and their coach Tash Hudoba) who participated in the 2017 NAB AFL Auskick Carnival on Saturday, 17 June at the Gepps Cross Football Club. Our girls were given the opportunity to play a game of football against other NAB AFL Auskick Centres within the zone. It was a fun morning!

Mrs Cate O’LearyYear 6/7 Knockout NetballSt Dominic’s Knockout Netball team consisted of girls from Year 6 and Year 7. We played three games against other schools over a number of weeks. Our team was quite strong making it to Round Three with wins against Nailsworth Primary School and St Francis of Assisi. Unfortunately, St Mary’s were too strong for us and we left the competition. I really enjoyed the experience and it was great to have the opportunity to play with the Year 7 netballers. Thank you to Mrs Richter for coaching us.

Alessandra Romeo, Year 6

News from Year 9 + Year 10 EnglishOver the last two weeks, Year 9 and 10 students have been treated to some wonderful performances celebrating the spoken work in its many creative forms. Year 9 students were entertained by the Bell Shakespeare Company’s play ‘Shakespeare is Dead’. In their unique performance style the performance style students learnt why Shakespeare plays are still so relevant today and how they can help, after more than 400 years, make sense of the world we live in. Using key speeches from many of his famous plays such as Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet (both plays studied at St Dom’s) students were well entertained. Year 9W student Ayra Grewal commented:

It was really enjoyable, they made learning about Shakespeare fun and now I know more about Shakespearian language.

Year 10s watched a performance by Poetry In Action called ‘Words that Changed the World’, this time focusing on how language has been celebrated in the many famous speeches over the years. Spanning back to Queen Elizabeth, Adolf Hitler and Julia Guillard, the speeches were performed and then explain as to how and why the language made them powerful and effective pieces of communication.

Year 8W Service Learning SurveyOver a course of several weeks in Term 2, 8W Mathematics conducted a survey as part of our service learning program, in which we found out how many students entering the school from Hill Street wore their beret and were safely dropped off. Our results were surprising in some cases, and pleasing in others:

Week Wearing Beret SAFE Drop Off CORRECT Drop Off1 38% 88% 35%2 46% 69% 34%

20% neither wore their Berets nor were dropped off safely!

3 52% 17%* 22%9% neither wore their Berets nor were dropped off safely

* Bus did not arrive on time for survey

For the purposes of the survey:• Girls who came to school in their Sport Uniform, for training, were excluded• “Safe” drop off: the family’s vehicle was legally parked (outside the yellow lines)• “Correct” drop off: student wearing their beret and family’s vehicle legally parked

We are seriously looking to improve, but cannot do it on our own – we need your help as parents to ensure that students are safe by parking outside of the yellow lines, and that your daughter is wearing her beret. The beret is an important part of our school uniform and it is your daughter’s responsibility to wear it with pride. Justyna Dutka 8W

What is NAIDOC Week?NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities but by many Australians. St Dominic’s Priory College students can get involved this week here at the College. The Student Representative Council (SRC) have been sharing an interesting fact in the Student Notices each day. This week all students can donate a gold coin and on Friday 7 July: • Year 7-12 students will be given a red ribbon to wear in

their hair • Reception-Year 6 students can wear a coloured top to

support Stomp Out The Gap Campaign (Cathy Freeman Foundation). Please remind your daughter/s to bring a gold coin if they would like to be involved in this fundraiser.

100% of money raised will go directly into the delivery of education programs to some of Australia’s largest Indigenous communities where education is at its most fragile. Proceeds will be donated to the Cathy Freeman Foundation. This signifies our belief that education has the power to change lives and that without equality in education we will struggle to have a just society.
