From the PrincipalDear members of the Sacred Heart College community

Laureate AssemblyThe Laureate Assembly formally recognises the students of the graduating class from the previous year who have achieved outstanding academic results. A ‘laureate’ is a person being honoured for achieving distinction in particular field.

Our ‘laureates’ achieved distinction across a range of specific academic endeavours ranging from SACE Merits to high ATAR scores to University results. Their achievement are very impressive - as is their sense of humility in receiving this acknowledgement. Their sense of pride is mirrored by their extended family’s presence at the celebration last week.

In recent years we have invited a Sacred Heart Old Collegian (SHOC) to present the Dux Award and to share some thoughts with the assembly. Mariana Couto Moniz (99.90 ATAR) graciously accepted the College Dux Award from Dr Mariana Rego (SHOC 2006). Mariana’s reflection on her Dux achievement included the following points (with thanks to Luke Hildyard):

• be organised - small step preparation now will reduce stress later• ask questions - use the wonderful teachers around you• create good habits ASAP - in Y10• develop the ability to do the extra work and seek answers outside of the classroom• be resilient and don’t give up• work hard, work smart - never leave work till the last minute, start tasks early

Amalgamation Forum

• be involved, do not leave yourself wondering, have no regrets or “what if’s”• the only way to fail, is to give up• don’t be too hard on yourself• do your best, always, no excuses.

Dr Mariana Rego’s post school journey included a ‘gap’ year traversing Europe with friends (having saved her earnings from her Foodland job), graduating with first class honours in Pharmaceutical Engineering and then onto a post-graduate Medicine Degree whereupon she graduated as the Dux of the Flinders University Medical School. In her own words - not because of her exam results but due to her practicum placements which must have been outstanding! Mariana also took the opportunity to undertake overseas placements as they arose.

Her key points of advice included:

• develop your resilience• engage in a range of activities that will broaden your (life) skills and experiences• “your career path may not be direct, the winding path can lead to success”• make brave decisions that will assist you to find out what it is, that you are passionate about.

So, as Sacred Heart adopts the theme of ‘Courageous Hearts’ Dr Rego’s message is poignant! Both ‘Marianas’ have achieved what they have by way of working hard and utilising their many gifts and talents. To share them with us was our privilege! The hope is that those present gained some motivation to consider deeply what it is they intend to commit to and pursue - both whilst at Sacred Heart and beyond!

Best wishes.

Lenten ReflectionAsh Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent in a very visible way; with the sign of the cross in ashes on our foreheads. Our Liturgies on Ash Wednesday provided time and space for our students to consider what Lent is about.

Lent is a season of preparation. A time for simplicity. As Catholics, it is a time to pray and spend time with God, a time to make sacrifices and challenge ourselves and a time to serve others and focus on those in need in our world. These are the three pillars of Lent: Prayer. Fasting. Service.

In this Marist year of Hope and a Future over these six weeks of Lent we are asking our community to engage in service by considering contributing to Project Compassion. In Religious Education classes at the Middle School, the boys will learn about the struggles of many of our brothers and sisters across the world and ways their contributions to Project Compassion can really make a difference. At the Senior School, Houses and Home rooms will be developing their own initiatives to support our global community

To quote from Mr Tony Clarke, the Marsit Schools Australia Director of Formation, “Pope Francis said that ‘a single individual is enough for hope to exist.’ The Good News is that our Marist communities are full of single individuals that together create an ‘us’”

My prayer is that during this Lenten season we can contribute to creating hope and a future for all.

God Bless.

James GillDirector of Marist Mission

SACRED HEART COLLEGE

Fair Funding for Catholic SchoolsAs we head towards a State Election, parents are encouraged to consider how each political party is promising to support our Catholic schools. Until recently – Catholic schools in South Australia received the lowest level of funding in the country. In November, the State Government announced that it would increase recurrent funding to our schools. This equates to a $14.3 million increase in 2018 and brings us into much closer alignment with the amount Catholic schools receive in other parts of the country. The State Government also announced a capital grant of $5.5 million indexed annually to CPI.

While this is good news for our schools, there is much more that can be done to ensure our schools receive adequate support. You can read more at: www.cesa.catholic.edu.au/news/fair-funding-campaign

What’s On?

From the Head of Champagnat CampusA Holy moment to celebrate a new year and leadership group We gathered on Tuesday to celebrate our Opening Mass and commission our student leaders. It was a significant Holy moment, shared with the extended Marymount community. We read a Gospel about Hope which we thought was important. It connected to our theme of ‘hope and a future’. The occasion was filled with the presence of sacredness and the subtle voice of God speaking through our girls, to our community. It was a blessed moment indeed. I thank Monsignor Dempsey for presiding over the Eucharist for us. He is a powerful presence for good in our Parish and a great friend of the College. Following Mass, we entered into our leadership commissioning ceremony. Here we saw in our girls’ courage, determination and a sense of purpose. They stood proudly before our community to accept this responsibility with a powerful hope and a deep commitment that they can do something good. The Marymount Leadership Group accepted a badge as a sign of their service and care for this community. They are a powerful group of young women and we wish them every success as they grow in their leadership this year.

AnnouncementsEarlier this week I wrote to families to advise that Hamish McDonald will be taking leave for 2018. He has been appointed as Assistant Principal (Visual and Performing Arts, Design and Technology) at Roma Mitchell Secondary College. Furthermore, I announced that Julie Thomas has resigned from Marymount. Whist we are sad to see them go, we wish both Hamish and Julie every success in their new roles.

I am delighted to inform families that we have appointed Jenni Stam as our Music Coordinator and Middle School Teacher. Jenni is an experienced Music Teacher and leader who has worked in both regional and metropolitan schools, most recently at OLSH in Enfield. She has a passion for Jazz and is experienced in coordinating Liturgical music, ensembles and vocal groups. Previous leadership roles include Head of Music, MNSEC Coordinator, Cabaret Coordinator as well as Year 8 and 9 Pastoral Care Coordinator. In 2011, Jenni was the recipient of the Early Career Teacher Award by the Australia Society of Music Education. We welcome Jenni to the Marymount community.

Amalgamation Parent Forum Planning is well underway for Champagnat Campus in 2019 and I invite all parents, caregivers and community members to join us for the next Parent Forum, to be held on Thursday 15 March at 7.00pm. Topics will include, Positive Education, parent engagement, student timetables and leadership structures. Further information about the forum will be emailed to families in the coming days.

Rite Journey Calling Ceremony Tomorrow our Year 9 girls and their families will gather at Brighton Beach for the ‘Calling Ceremony’ as we officially launch the Rite Journey Program at Marymount Campus. It will be an early morning for the girls and their families, but an important ritual filled with deep love and affection. This important rite of passage will support our girls as they leave behind ‘childlike behaviours’ and begin the transition into adulthood. Our girls will return tomorrow with a different energy and a sense of purpose. I extend my heartfelt thanks to our Year 9 Leader of Learning & Wellbeing, Shauna Jenkinson and the Rite Journey teachers for their work in preparing students for the Calling and to our families for their support of this program and ritual.

Marymount Leadership GroupThe MLG began the year with a lunchtime meeting where they were able to discuss their hopes for the group in 2018. On Monday 12 February, the MLG were privileged to attend a ‘Just Leadership’ training day run by Caritas Australia, along with other student leaders from various Catholic schools in South Australia. The girls were able to ponder how they could be ‘just leaders’ and not ‘just a leader’. They were also able to use virtual reality glasses to explore the villages where Caritas assist communities in Nepal and in Cambodia. In one of the images, you can also see an image of ‘Justin the goat’ that was inserted using Caritas’ augmented reality application.

Year 6 FocusIt is amazing to think that our Year 6 students are almost a third of the way through their first term here at the Marymount Campus. Although the transition process is an ongoing one, it has been wonderful to see the girls settle into new routines and develop new relationships with confidence.

There have been many exciting moments that the girls have already experienced this term; meeting their Big Sister in Year 9, engaging with their learning using their Chromebooks as a learning tool, developing their skills during Cricket Clinics, focussing on their wellbeing through Circle Time and completing the PAT for both Maths and Reading Comprehension!

We look forward to many more engaging experiences throughout the year!

Youth Empowerment ProgramThe Marymount Campus YEP girls would like to start a crocheting/knitting project this year, to make blankets which can be donated to Hutt St or some other charity organisation. We are looking for donations of any spare balls of wool, crochet hooks or knitting needles etc. All donations would be most appreciated and can be left at Marymount Reception.

Kelly PritchardCounsellor

Appropriate ICT Use All current students and their parents at the Marymount Campus were asked to complete an ICT User Agreement at the beginning of the year. Below is an excerpt from this agreement:

• Use or possession of hacking software is strictly prohibited and violators will be subject to SHC discipline policies and procedures. Violation of all applicable Australian laws may result in criminal prosecution.

• Students must not interfere with the normal operation of the Chromebook.

• The Chromebook is to be used as an educational tool. While at school the Chromebook should only be used to access sites and applications that fit the context of learning. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are not to be accessed at school.

Part of ensuring the Chromebooks are used appropriately at school, means that students must only log onto to the Chromebook with their Sacred Heart College account while on the school grounds. All Students have been informed of this and if they are discovered using another account, they will be in breach of the ICT User Agreement. First offenders will lose their WiFi privileges for two days and their parents will be informed via email. If a student is a repeat offender, a higher penalty will apply to be negotiated by the Deputy on case-by-case basis

From the Assistant to the Principal - Champagnat ProjectThe beginning of the school year has certainly been full of a variety of events. We celebrated the beginning of the year mass, met many parents at the Parent Welcome Night, held successful Year 6/8 camps and this week included families attending Parent/Teacher conversations. I thank the staff, learners and parents who have supported and attended these initial events to begin the academic year.

Summer sport has kicked off for Term 1 and I acknowledge the many parents and volunteers who generously support the Middle School’s sports program. It was great to witness some of our Year 6/7 learners participating in their ever competitive first cricket game on Saturday. I have no doubt the enjoyment of the game itself was enhanced by the team spirit evident amongst both players and supporters.

We are steaming ahead with planning for Champagnat Campus in 2019 and I invite all parent and community members to join us for the next Parent Forum on Thursday 15 March. Topics will include, Positive Education, parent engagement, timetables and extended leadership structures. Further information about the forum will be circulated in the coming days.

Some of you may have noticed the crosses that have been placed outside the administration building on Percy Ave. The crosses have been placed as a symbolic reminder that we are now in the season of Lent. Pope Francis shares, in his 2018 Lenten message “Lent summons us and enable us, to come back to the Lord wholeheartedly and in every aspect of our life.” As we journey through the season of Lent we are reminded that simple acts of kindness and generosity are a way of sharing God’s unending love with others. Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion is a wonderful example of how Australian’s across the country come together to support others, promote justice and dignity for all. I encourage all in our community to generously support Project Compassion this Lent and discover the ways our small donations are used to help others.

Year 8 CampThis year’s camp to Hindmarsh Island allowed us to integrate this theme of Family Spirit and caring for others and the environment. The focus of the camp was for the boys to learn more about camping independently and taking responsibility for cooking and organising themselves. They were provided with the opportunity to explore and develop vital teamwork skills through various physical activities such as; kayaking, surfing and cycling. During the camp the boys also learnt many useful and relevant life-skills for the future.

One of the most interesting activities for the boys was learning how easy a tasty meal can be made on a small trangia stove. During the overnight expedition, the boys were required to plan and cook their own meal. The quality of most of these dishes was quite outstanding. It was also a great learning experience for the boys to see other students create their own meals. Throughout the camp the boys were able to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Island and learn about the skill of enjoying the landscape without marking our physical presence. The boys were also blessed with near perfect weather conditions, unlike the extreme heat back in Adelaide.

Stronger relationships with friends (old and new) and the Year 8 staff were forged throughout the experience. The boys are to be commended on their positive, resilient and respectful conduct during their time away. The Wilderness Adventure staff and Sacred Heart College staff were all impressed by the attitude displayed by the boys.

Many thanks to the Sacred Heart staff who attended, for sacrificing their own family time to be involved in the two valuable camp experiences.

From the Head of the Senior SchoolLaureate AssemblyLast Wednesday the College held the Laureate Assembly for the high achieving graduates of the class of 2017. We are enormously proud of the 32 merit winners (who between them achieved 38 merits). In addition the overall performance of our Year 12’s last year was very successful with 100% of the 360 Year 12 students enrolled at Sacred Heart College successfully completing their SACE.

We had a number of special guests who presented our high achieving graduates with College Certificates. In total there were 32 merit winners and 57 students who achieved an ATAR in excess of 90. We also congratulated 10 students who achieved a High Distinction for the University subject that they studied whilst completing Year 12 (quite a feat!).

VET@SHCDid you know that SHC has a very strong VET Department? Almost 100 students are undertaking a Certificate II or III as part of their SACE. We have students studying construction, plumbing, electrotechnology, bricklaying, carpentry, hair dressing, beauty therapy, fitness, sport & rec, hospitality and animal husbandry just to name a few! In addition to attending a training organisation (usually one day a week) many students are required to undertake a formal work placement. These work placements usually take place during the school holidays and provide students with opportunities to develop vocational skills, knowledge and attitudes in the context of real working environments.

If you are a business owner and would be interested in having a SHC VET student undertake a work placement with you or would like to find out more information please contact the SHC VET Department on 8350 2570 or send and email to leannedeyoung@shc.sa.edu.au

SACE Information EveningAll parents/caregivers of Year 10 students are invited to an information evening outlining the requirements of the SACE on Tuesday 27 February at 7.00pm. The South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) is awarded to students upon the successful completion of Year 12 studies. Compulsory studies that contribute towards the SACE begin at Year 10. There are a number of implications for SACE completion that relate to subject choice, levels of achievement and compulsory elements. SACE studies are also relevant for University entry direct from school.

These important issues will be addressed on this evening. The information session will be held in the Br Stephen Debourg Performing Arts Centre. It is anticipated the session will last for about 45 minutes.

We look forward to your attendance.

Senior School – Rules for Assessment Senior School students have been directed to the College procedures for Academic Integrity, Assessment Provisions and Drafting and Verification of Student Work in the Senior School diary (pages 15-22) via email. It is essential that students clearly understand the rules for assessment and the consequences should rules be breached.

When Senior School students register for the SACE, they also have to sign the SACE Assessment Declaration. Students have been emailed a copy of this document which can also be downloaded from the SACE Board website via this link: AssessmentDeclaration

One of the rules that I would like to highlight appears in both the Academic Integrity procedures and SACE Assessment Declaration. It is a breach of SACE rules to permit a student to copy or otherwise use another student’s work. Students should be aware that if they use the Google “Share” facility with another student for summative work that will be individually assessed by a teacher towards their grade, this rule has been breached. Of course it is totally acceptable for students to share work with their teacher and there may be times that teachers are happy for students to share work for group tasks or formative classroom activities. Students should check with their teacher if unsure before sharing work with other students.

Students are reminded that if they are having difficulty with any assessment task, their first port of call should be the subject teacher. The Senior School also provides after school tutoring in the library every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:30pm–5pm. Several teachers from a variety of subject areas are available to assist students. The Learning Enrichment Centre is also open on Monday afternoons for assistance.

The Academic Integrity procedures includes rules regarding the verification of student work, in line with SACE policy. It is essential that teachers see summative assignment work in progress so that they can verify that the final assignment submitted is the work of that student. Sharing a draft with the subject teacher is a good way for students to satisfy this verification requirement. Students who do not commence summative tasks as required in order to show the teacher work in progress prior to due dates may be required to attend an after school academic detention to ensure work is underway.

There is also information in the Senior School diary about drafting work on pages 18-19. This information addresses issues such as the teacher’s role when checking drafts, how many times a draft can be checked etc.

Finally, students should familiarise themselves with the Assessment Provisions procedures (pages 19–22 of the Senior School diary) which clearly outlines expectations with regard to due dates and correct procedures for seeking extensions.

By alerting all students and families to this information early in the school year, there can be little recourse for students who choose to ignore the rules and requirements for assessment.

Please contact me should you have any questions regarding any of the aforementioned policies and procedures.

Stage 2 Geography Field TripYorke Peninsula: Adjahdura Narungga LandFrom Monday 4 December - Wednesday 6 December last year, both classes of the 2018 Stage 2 Geography cohort travelled to and around the Yorke Peninsula on a field trip linked to their summative assessment. We had the privilege of being led and guided to significant Adjahdura Narungga cultural sites by Adjahdura Narungga elder and tour guide Quenten Agius. The students were able to build a positive bi-cultural relationship with Quenten over the 3 days, to better understand what impacts the wider tourism industry has had or is having on sites that are culturally important to the Adjahdura Narungga people.

Over the 3 day period students:

• Heard and observed the impacts of colonisation on the Adjahdura Narungga people and their land.

• Heard, visited dreaming sites and understood the meaning behind various Adjahdura lore stories.

• Understood how the contemporary Yorke Peninsula community are attempting to build positive relationships to try and conserve significant Adjahdura Narungga sites.

• Learnt how current legislation and bureaucracy is preventing the sustainable management of significant Adjahdura Narungga sites.

Using the data and fieldwork collected, students will compile a report illustrating their findings to then provide recommendations as to how to better manage the negative impacts on the significant Adjahdura sites.

Many thanks must go to Quenten Agius for sharing his culture and life so openly with the students for the second year running. We value his open relationship with us and look forward to working with him in the future. It was a very valuable opportunity that most Australian people do not get to have and one that will provide another element of depth to the students work and geographical ideology going into their final year of senior schooling. A big thanks to trip photographer Kurtis Harrison for giving up his planning time to support Meredith Jones and I in supervising to ensure the success of the trip. Your valuable input is much appreciated.
