FROM THE PRINCIPAL

As the Easter Season draws to a close I offer you an insightful reflection on the Feast of the Ascension from Sister Veronica Lawson RSM.

Loss is part of the human condition, and death is one of the most painful manifestations of loss. The Feast of the Ascension invites us to face the experience of loss in a transformative way. In Ordinary Time, we celebrate the life and ministry of Jesus. Over the period of Lent and Easter, we have been re-membering his death and resurrection. As we come towards the end of the Easter season, the liturgy draws us into another aspect of the Mystery, that of the presence and absence of Jesus who has been raised. The Lukan Ascension story as found in Acts 1:1-11 presupposes a pre-scientific, three-tiered understanding of the structure of the world. In this ancient view, God is in the heavens above and the prophet Jesus, like the prophet Elijah of old, is caught up into God‟s realm from whence the Holy Spirit will „descend‟ upon God‟s people. This vertical (up and down) movement is balanced by a horizontal movement: Jesus‟ family and friends who grieve the loss of their loved one are told not to keep looking up to the heavens. They have work to do: they must return to Jerusalem for the present and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the prophetic ministry of Jesus (“clothed with power from on high”), to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth. They have to face the fact that the physical loss of Jesus means a new and different sort of presence and that they have a role to play in making him present in their world. Like us, the early Christians needed time to grasp each dimension of the one great Mystery of God‟s life in their midst. The disciples who are gathered in Jerusalem, and not simply the Eleven, are to be witnesses to the death and resurrection of Jesus. They are to proclaim a gospel of repentance and forgiveness. In Luke 24:47 their audience is “all peoples”, while in Acts 1:8, they are commissioned to be witnesses to Jesus “in all Jerusalem, in Judaea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”. The good news is not only for the Earth‟s human inhabitants but for the Earth itself. Joy, prayer, and blessing have the final word in Luke‟s gospel. They have permeated the gospel story from the outset. As we prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, we might reflect on the blessings in our lives and pray for the same spirit of joy that animated the earliest Christians.

Sr Maureen McBride, Congregational Leader of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, opened the recent RNDM Education Symposium held at Sacred Heart College, Sorrento WA. In her Address, Sr Maureen presented some beautiful reflections on the founder of the RNDM Sisters, Euphrasie Barbier. At the heart of Euphrasie‟s vision for education was her understanding of the need to support young people to realise their full potential within a firm foundation of faith. Euphrasie saw the education of women and girls as the opportunity to bring about real change in the world. This came from her background as a teacher in the Ragged Schools of London in the 1850‟s. Her

experience in London shaped her vision of the option for the poor and for the empowering of women. Real change in society was only possible if all were given the opportunity to be educated and hence take their place in the world. Euphrasie adopted a holistic view of education, identifying Catechism as a starting point followed by Grammar and Language then the Liberal Arts and finally the Useful Arts. She took this vision and practice from the old world to New Zealand and then shortly after to Bengal. How fortunate we are at Sacred Heart to be able to link into this sound educational philosophy as we prepare young women to competently take their place in the world of the 21st Century. Euphrasie‟s vision and dream continues to find reality at Sacred Heart. Dr Tim McDonald, Director of Catholic Education, Western Australia reflected on the role of Catholic Education at the Symposium. He spoke of Catholic schools as being places of generosity, where life is to be lived abundantly. Catholic schools are to be educational communities that collaborate, connect, create, contribute and converse. Sister Catherine Brabender, Co-ordinator of the RNDM International Missions Office, reflected on the importance of mission as a motivating force developing the partnership between the schools and the Sisters. Sr Joicy Maderassy, Principal of Our Lady Queen of Missions School, Park Circus, Kolkata, explored her role as principal of a multi-faith community. A major concern she sees developing within school communities, is the increasing lack of spiritual values. This is a challenge for any educational environment, one that a values-based framework ought respond to with great vigour and energy. Education is to be uplifting. It is to be a great equaliser, not just seeking the acquisition of knowledge and material wealth but rather encouraging commitment to the world and its people. Scattered throughout the symposium were presentations on the various school communities represented. How wonderful it was to hear about St Francis Xavier Greenherald International School, Dkhar from Sr Asha, Sacred Heart Language College Wealdstone, United Kingdom from Miss Geraldine Higgins, Mariam Nilaya School, Bangalore from Sr Rose Mary Kootunkal and St Joseph‟s Maori College Greenmeadows, New Zealand from Miss Georgina Kingi. Each of these schools unique in their own way, yet sharing in many traditions from the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions. On the last day of the symposium, work was commenced on the formation of a Charter for RNDM schools. Developing out of this session will be vision and mission statements linking the RNDM Educational Network around the world. At the end of next week the College will farewell replacement staff who have been with us this term. Sacred Heart is thankful for the commitment and dedication of Dr Andries Onsman and Ms Henrietta Solarski. Once again the College welcomes back Mrs Antoinette Scalise who will be replacing Mrs Lynne Evans in the Learning Support Department. Mrs Evans is enjoying a period of Long Service Leave. Ms Bea Awiati will be travelling to Cardiff in Wales for an International Baccalaureate meeting taking place over the next weekend. Ms Awiati is participating in the conference in her role as Co-ordinator of Indonesian in the IB. On Sunday we remember our mothers.

Loving God, we thank you for the love of the mothers you have given us, Whose love is so precious that it can never be measured, whose patience seems to have no end. May we see your loving hand behind them and guiding them. We pray for those mothers who fear they will run out of love or time, or patience. We ask you to bless them with your own special love. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our brother. Amen.

Every blessing for the fortnight ahead.

“Mary, like a good mother, teaches us to be, like her, capable of making definitive decisions, definitive decision in this moment in which there reigns, so to say, the philosophy of the provisional. It is so difficult to commit oneself definitively in life. And she helps us to make definitive decisions with that complete freedom with which she answered “yes” to God‟s plan for her life.” Pope Francis

SHGC & the RNDM Sisters – Partners-in-Mission Sacred Heart College, Sorrento, Perth, WA - RNDM Symposium 2013 Over the past decade much work has been undertaken to consolidate the partnership between SHGC and the founders of our College, the Sisters of Our Lady of Missions. The RNDM Sisters are the guests of honour at College assemblies, liturgies and award ceremonies. This partnership provides an authentic connection between the Sacred Heart community and the RNDM Sisters in their ministry and outreach to the marginalised in countries such as Vietnam, India, South Sudan and Kazakhstan. This partnership is mutually beneficial, with our community acting in solidarity with the RNDMs and our brothers and sisters in need throughout our world. In 2009 Sacred Heart Girls' College accepted the Invitation of the RNDM Sisters to enter into partnership with the RNDM Delesan Kailawan Centre, Mindanao, the southern Philippines. The RNDM Sisters manage the Delesan Kailawan Centre, a dormitory for 54 Dulungan Menobo girls aged from 6-22 years. The Dulungan Menobo, one of the indigenous tribes of the Philippines, confront many challenges as they seek to retain their traditional way of being in the twenty-first century. By providing access to education to these Menobo girls and young women, the RNDM Sisters seek to empower the next generation to take their place in society. Funds raised by the Sacred Heart Day Annual Walkathon sustain the Delesan Kailawan Centre. Sr Kate O‟Neill ministers at the Kuya Centre, a home for street children located in Manila. The annual „Market Day‟ held by the students of Business Management raises over $2000 in profit. This profit is then „invested‟ in the Micro-Credit Scheme established and managed by RNDM Sisters in Manila. This scheme provides people on the margins of society with the means to finance a small business. SHGC‟s partnership with the RNDM Sisters extends to the Vietnam Province. The annual Cake Stall raised over $2500 for the RNDMs, funds which will then be assigned to a project of particular need in Vietnam. The RNDM Sisters have chosen English as their international language. During the September term break two teachers take part in an intensive English language program with the Vietnamese RNDMs in their Thu Duc, Thi Nghe and Da Lat communities. Finally, in recent years we have welcome visiting RNDM Sisters into the Sacred Heart community. Sr Gracie Gomes and Sr Mary Palma from Bangladesh were embedded in the College community to gain insights into the Australian education system. Sr Sherly Sebastian from India spent a year with us as a member of our community. Over the past fortnight we have been privileged to have three principals within our community. Sr Jacinta Dkhar and Sr Shradha from India, and Sr Margaret Gomes from Bangladesh have shared their insights on the contemporary nature of mission with our community. The partnership-in-mission status the Sacred Heart Community enjoys with the RNDM Sisters is mutually beneficial and enriching for both parties. The Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, the RNDM Sisters, minister in: Australia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, the British Isles, France, India, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Laos, Myanmar, New Zealand, Peru, the Philippines, Senegal, South Sudan, Taiwan & Vietnam.

S.H.G.C‘s BE-YOU-TIFUL CONCERT Last Tuesday the school gathered in Kendell Hall for the wonderfully successful Be-You-tiful concert which was designed to promote positive mental health messages. Thanks to our College Captain, Molly Noone and her team of Year 12s who organised the concert. Please read below a report on the event by Kim Panti of Year 12. “To empower ourselves as beautiful young women, we gathered in the Hall on April 30 to celebrate the Be-You-tiful Concert. The concert was organised by the amazing Year 12s led by school captain, Molly Noone and it was certainly an event to remember.

Our talented singers from every year level reminded us to be ourselves because we are “amazing, just the way [we] are”. We were also told to be “on top of the world” reaching for our dreams and that it‟s “okay not to be okay”. The final song told us to “don‟t stop believing” because we can all be beautiful, smart, confident, no matter our size, shape or skin colour. Donations for the event went to The Butterfly Foundation whose Education Officer, Emma Manks, reminded us that the people we see in magazines and on TV are often not real and that these days most of what we see has been digitally enhanced. Through two powerful video clips, we were shown that as young women we perceive ourselves too negatively and forget the things that are beautiful about us. She reminded us that we can only feel good about ourselves when we have good body image and self-esteem. Finally, guest performer Emmanuel Kelly convinced us that we are indeed beautiful through his rendition of One Direction‟s “What Makes You Beautiful” which had us all standing on our feet! Overall, the Concert wouldn‟t have been possible without student donations, our singers and crew who ensured that the day went perfectly well. Special thanks to Molly Noone for coming up with this wonderful idea.” Kim Panti, Year 12 Jenny Bilton Deputy Principal – Student Wellbeing

ANZAC DAY SERVICE IN OAKLEIGH

On Sunday 21 April, six Year 11 students (Naomi Chau, Kelsey Dixon, Sheryl George, Ylenia Golini, Alicia Isgro and Sasini Abeygunawardane) and two Year 10 students (Alex Morgan and Sheymonti Hoque), accompanied by Ms Mills and Mr McCann, represented Sacred Heart Girls College at the Oakleigh ANZAC Day service. I would like to thank all the students for generously giving their time to this important community event. Caroline Duckett Year 11 Co-ordinator Below is one student‟s reflections of the day: On the 21

st of April I was honoured to represent the College in the ANZAC Day Ceremony at the Oakleigh Memorial

Park to commemorate the sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers on the shores of Gallipoli in 1915, and for every other conflict that they have been involved in. The service started with a march down Drummond Street led by three soldiers and the police band, followed by war veterans, family members of fallen soldiers, groups of girl and boy scouts, students of South Oakleigh College and Sacred Heart Girls‟ College, and members of the public. As we arrived at the Memorial Park, Ann Barker State Member for Oakleigh commenced the ceremony by honouring the fallen soldiers and welcoming special guests. It wasn‟t long after I was invited to recite the first half of the Anzac Day Requiem while a Year 10 student from South Oakleigh College was afterwards called to recite the second half.

It was amazing to see everyone in the audience so quiet and caught up in honouring a moment that even after nearly a century still is a vital part of our own history. Following that, Ms Barker read out names of special guests at the ceremony for them to place a wreath on the shrine and before we knew it, the monument was covered with numerous wreaths. Everyone present could do nothing but stare in awe and wonder as the Australian spirit filled the atmosphere, and the sacrifice of those brave men and women was remembered once more. It was a truly remarkable experience to be able to witness such a special event and be able to honour those people who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom and our country. It was astonishing to witness how everyone took part in this service and took time out of their day to commemorate those who died for us, because “at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them”.

PSYCHOLOGY EXCURSION – MELBOURNE MUSEUM & CBD

VCE Psychology is being offered for the first time in 2013 at SHGC, and has proven to be a popular addition to the VCE curriculum. At the beginning of this term, the Year 11 students visited the Melbourne Museum in Carlton in order to experience the “Labyrinth: Enter the Mind” exhibit. The history of medical research into human thought and behaviour and the changing attitudes toward mental illness were clearly illustrated, and the girls enjoyed discussing dreams, debating the topic of normality, and experiencing classic visual illusions like a real, life-sized Ames Room. The girls then spent their time in the city near Melbourne Central Station, taking a series of photographs representing the various visual perception principles they had been studying. Images depicting examples of Gestalt Principles like closure and figure-ground organisation, and monocular depth cues like linear perspective and relative size were all captured by the girls. Many creative visual illusions were also demonstrated in their fantastic work.

Kelly North Psychology teacher “Eagerly excited by what the day held in store, the three Sacred Heart Year 11 Psychology Classes embarked on an interesting experience through the Mind and Body Gallery within the Melbourne Museum. As part of our study of Visual Perception, we were asked to observe and photograph various principles taught throughout our classes at school. We took many photographs that held evidence of the Gestalt Principles and Pictorial Depth Perception Cues which had further been revised and discussed in class. The Museum broadened our knowledge on how we as human beings perceive different images and symbols and in wandering throughout the psychology area of the museum we were able to further grasp past topics and discussions we had in class which enhanced our learning. After this, we were independently allowed to travel through the streets of Melbourne CBD in order to discover how perception principles were incorporated within everyday life. Overall, the excursion was a fascinating experience as it opened up many ideas, possibilities and answers that further guided our study throughout psychology.” Rebecca Braganza 11 Red

DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING

The Year 7 & 8 Dance Evening; Dance Like No One Is Watching took place on Thursday 2 May 2013. Over the first term the students undertaking dance in semester one had been learning a class dance work, which enables students to develop technical and performance skills, understanding of the choreographic process and understanding of stylistic characteristics of a particular dance style. TheYear 8s focused on Jazz and funk, and the Year 7s on era dances such as; the Twist & Pony, Charleston, Rock & roll and the Cancan. The girls performed to an audience of over 500 people who were left in amazement at their talent and love for dance. Based on the success of this night, it is clear that Dance is flourishing at Sacred Heart Girls‟ College. Vanessa Moore Dance Teacher

All the hard work from Term One to this term depended on this. I remembered glancing at the anxious faces of the parents in the front row, it was extremely nerve racking. Thoughts raced through my mind like a race car, but I knew that our group would do well. I remember seeing everyone moving gracefully and beautifully, I have never been that proud in my life. I was proud in calling these people my friends. Being lifted was quite scary; however, I loved the adrenaline rush as I was lifted high towards the sky. Then we finished and the audience gave lots of claps and cheers. I absolutely cherished that moment and I knew that I would remember that for the rest of my life. Then came the moment of watching the others, I was absolutely entranced, I knew that they worked just as hard as our group, and they were all incredible dancers. I remember cheering so loud to the point where the person next to me blocked their ears. It was the most amazing night and although we had to remain at school for 4 extra hours it was worth it.

Krystal Cho 8 Blue

I walk onto the stage, heart pounding adrenaline rushing. The Year 7 and 8 Dance night is here. As I stand in my starting position, I look into the crowd of hundreds of people. I think to myself, I can‟t afford to make any mistakes or I‟ll embarrass myself. The music begins; Beauty and a Beat by one of my most favourite artists Justin Bieber. I dance like I have never danced before. Once the music ends, I think to myself how fantastic we performed, the crowd clapping and cheering. I had lots of fun and I am very proud of the whole class!

TAX FILE NUMBER APPLICATIONS

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO), with the cooperation of school, offers students the opportunity to apply for a Tax File Number (TFN) through the school. This means the normal identification documents are not required which makes the application process much easier for students to obtain a TFN.

Students may need a Tax File number for a part time job, opening a bank account, applying for Centrelink benefits or deferring university fees. All Year 9 students will be given a TFN application form. Students from other year levels can also apply at this time by obtaining a form from the office. Parents need to sign a permission slip to enable the Tax File application form to be processed by the school. The attached slip can be attached to the application form.

The application form must be fully completed and signed by the student. If any mistakes are made a new form must be obtained and completed again. All information on the form will remain confidential. The school will certify the application form against the information held on the school records. Students are not required to show identifying documentation to the school or to the ATO. Students will receive their TFN from the ATO via a notification letter sent to the student‟s postal address. This will be sent within 28 days of the application being received by the ATO.

The school offers this opportunity once a year due to the administration involved so if forms are not returned by 7 June 2013 the next opportunity will not be until next year. All TFN forms must be submitted by 7 June. Late applications will not be accepted which will mean students will have to apply directly to the Australian Taxation Office or wait until 2014 to apply through the school.
