This week, Year 10 student Isaiah McKenna received confirmation that
her application to the 2018 National Indigenous Summer School was
approved. The week long summer school will be held at the Australian
National University in Canberra and will commence in early Decem-
ber.
This unique and specialised camp not only engages students in univer-
sity life but also serves educational purposes with Isaiah participating
in the Humanities and Social Science seminars throughout the week.
As well as this, students on the camp will enjoy time at iconic locations
in Canberra such as the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, The National Muse-
um, AIATSIS, The National War Memorial and much more.
We wish Isaiah luck as she embarks on this new experience.

Year 11 Design Photography Class
Drones are increasingly being used in many aspects of life including
photography. Our Year 11 Design Photography Class have been learning
how to use Drones safely and have just learned how to fly the drones out-
side. They are experimenting with keeping Drones in flight and composing
photos at the same time.
FOOTBALL CARNIVAL
On Friday of week 3, Students in years 7 to 9 competed in a football carnival against Port Hed-
land Secondary High School and Broome Senior High School. The day followed a round robin
type fixture, with St Mary’s College students playing one game against each high school, before
teaming up with Port Hedland to create a super team to play Broome Senior in the final. This
was a fantastic opportunity for the students to represent their schools and even saw several girls
from St Mary’s and Port Hedland, battling it out against the boys. The spirit of the day was amaz-
ing; each team showing tremendous sportsmanship and respect for each and the umpires.
Luckily, the day was a little bit cooler, which was a welcome relief to many. This is the second
year running that Port Hedland have made the long trip up to Broome for the carnival and due
to it being such a success, next year there is talk of trying to include Derby High School in the
day and expand upon what is already a favourite amongst the students.
Multi Sport Carnival
On Friday 26th October 35 Year 4 – 6 stu-
dents travelled to the BRAC to partici-
pate in the 2018 West Kimberley Multi-
sport Interschool Carnival. There were 2
Year 4 mixed soccer teams and 1 boys
and 1 girls Year 5/6 cricket team. All the
Broome schools as well as the Derby
state school were in attendance which
made for a fantastic atmosphere. The
aim of the Multisport Carnival is to en-
courage participation and promote en-
joyment of the sports in a fun and friend-
ly environment. Our students had a won-
derful time playing against the other schools and there were some great stories of amazing
goals and classic catches told on the bus on the way home! A big thank you to Mr Sonny and
Mr Din for coaching the teams on the day.
Remembrance Day: Centenary Of The Armistice and End Of WW1, Reflective Performance
Students have be preparing for the Remem-
brance Day commemoration reflective perfor-
mance. The performance will recognise that
from the small town of Broome over 250 men
enlisted, which was effectively 95% of the avail-
able population, and a record for any town in
Australia. Over sixty of these men did not return,
dying on active service, with another sixty being
so maimed during the progress of the war, that
they were medically discharged and invalided
back to Australia. The performance will highlight
the sacrifice and courage
of so many in the years of
war, the human cost of
those who died in the ser-
vice of their country, those
who survived with many
deeply scared by the ex-
perience, physically and
mentally, and those fami-
lies affected by loss. The
performance ground will
be surrounded with can-
dles labeled with the
names of those from
Broome who enlisted, and
a cross for each of the fall-
en.
The Remembrance Day Commemoration will commence at 10:00am Sunday the 11th of Novem-
ber at Bedford Park
