Dear Parents and Carers

Welcome back to Term 1!  Despite all the grim predictions the first week seemed remarkably normal.  The students were excited to be back and reconnecting with their friends and teachers.  It has been particularly exciting to meet our Year 7 students (the Class of 2027) and see the school anew through their eyes.  They have made a great start under the exemplary care of Ms Doran, who has started this year in the role of Dean of Early Secondary.  She is already building wonderful relationships with our newest students.

In the same week we have welcomed the Class of 2027, we finally had our chance to farewell the class of 2021.  Last night we hosted a graduation ceremony for our graduands and their families at Doltone House, Darling Island.  We had had to change the date and venue three times, but all of that uncertainty actually added to the excitement and sense of gratitude evident in the guests.  The Class of 2021 had a challenging journey towards their graduation and we had much to celebrate with their outstanding HSC results, exciting Tertiary Offers and their plans for living life with abundance.  I would like to thank the team of Elizabeth Brooks, Bob Anderson, Michelle Smith, Renee Payne and Selvi Prahardja, for all their hard work, meticulous planning and hospitality on the evening.  The Class of 2021 finally have closure on their HSC that commenced in October 2020.

Thank you to everyone who is supporting the Covid-smart initiative of twice weekly Rapid Antigen Testing and mask wearing.  Our second delivery of RAT's should arrive at the College on 7 February and we will distribute via Tutor Groups the tests required for the next two week period.  I am unsure at this stage if the program will be extended beyond Week 4.  As a community we need to remain alert to the symptoms of Covid (Omicron) which include fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting, extreme tiredness, unexplained chest paid or conjunctivitis (eye infection).

It is crucial that if your daughter shows any symptoms, that she does not attend school until she tests negative.  We have today been notified of a student in the Year 12 cohort who was at the College on Wednesday and Thursday while infectious, but asymptomatic.  This is a time we all need to be monitoring and testing as our contribution to maintaining the good health of our community.

Our first assembly on Wednesday provided a fantastic reflection on Hope and how we will be integrating this value in all we do in 2022.

In hope,

Yours sincerely

From the Deputy Principal

What a delightful week!  I add my welcome to new and returning families. It is always a moment of Refresh to have our staff and students walk back through the school gates ready for new beginnings - embracing new classes, new timetables, new people.  I extend this welcome with a spirit of renewal to parents and carers, and express gratitude to you for the partnership we look forward to in educating and caring for your daughter/s.  A particular welcome to parents and carers new to the College community.  We look forward to our journey with you.  Having enjoyed last night’s Class of 2021 Graduation Dinner and marvelled at the enthusiasm of my Year 7 Cahill Tutor group, I am acutely aware of our relationship of accompaniment as we share the privilege of education of your daughters.

Our school has been charged with energy this week.  There is never a slow start when over 758 students and their teachers and staff return to campus.  Mrs Sheenagh Doran in her new role as Dean of Early Secondary has offered a wonderful Boot Camp for our Year 7s who were grinning from ear to ear, ice-blocks in hand as they left this afternoon stating what a wonderful week they have had.  Our teachers have commented on the impressive start to school of all our students Years 8-12 who have arrived in classes with an eagerness to learn and create inclusive respectful classes.  I thank all our teachers and support staff who have given careful preparation to commence this year so positively.

In this year of Hope, students are being asked to consider what attitudes they will choose and actions they will take to realise their hopes - moving from aspiration to real possibility.  Adolescents are capable of making choices, they are active agents of their learning and active in nurturing positive relationships.  At Assembly we spoke about the responsibilities each student has to the collective culture that makes St Vincent’s College not ‘a’ school, but ‘our’ school.  We wish to maintain high expectations with consistent interventions that promote and support positive choices.  I appreciate having had the opportunity to speak with so many parents and carers at our recent Information Evenings and I thank you in anticipation of your conversations at home that support this ethos at home.  Instill hope in your daughter by affirming that she has the capacity to embrace complexity and challenge in her learning; check in that she is developing a weekly routine that will ensure she is punctual and prepared for school, and please do ensure your daughter has all required uniform and school back pack that sets her up to walk in our gates with a pride and appreciation for her school. 

All students received a College Diary upon her return to school.  To ensure you and your daughter are familiar with College Policies and Procedures please read this information and sign page 50.

Parents and carers of Year 11 and 12, please ensure you have read the email from Ms Michelle Smith sent this afternoon, and signed your daughter’s Application for Early Leave if she has Study lessons in the afternoon.

My very best wishes to you and your families for 2022.

Deputy Principal


From the Director of Teaching and Learning and Education Administration

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope”

Romans 15:13

It is very appropriate to view learning through the prism of ‘hope’, as hope is fundamental to the foundations of learning. This week I have addressed the two aspects of hope: hope as a noun and hope as a verb with both students at the College Assembly and at the two Parent Information Nights.  Such hope is not based on merely wishful thinking or a blind leap of faith, but rather on a considered and robust footing.  Hope based on realistic and worthwhile aspirations and goals, (hope as a noun), achieved through a deliberate and consistent set of actions, (hope as a verb), is a sound proposition for significant learning.

Practically, this is characterised by the pursuits of rigour and resilience.  Rigour involves students being prepared to take risks in their learning and pursue the harder options and more challenging activities over the easier questions.  To discover one’s true potential we need to move out of our comfort zone and be prepared to push ourselves.  The ideal environment to do this is one where support and assistance is readily available as it is from teachers, your Tutor and classmates.  Resilience is the ability to persist and try again when the desired result is not immediate.  Learning occurs in the struggle of grappling with the new challenges and the things that are difficult, rather than what is easy or familiar.  Very little is learnt whilst freewheeling down a familiar path. 

To maintain both rigour and resilience in their work, students are encouraged to develop good work habits early and put in place the support structures to succeed in their learning this year.  These will include an organised study space and study timetable, and getting into the habit of asking questions when anything is not clear.  Thomas Edison was an amazing inventor, creating many of the everyday items that have been used in the last hundred years, including motion pictures, electric power generation, mass communication, sound recording and the light globe.  When developing the electric light globe, he reflected that he hadn’t failed in his journey; he had just discovered thousands of ways it didn’t work.  His efforts are characterised by both rigour and resilience.

It has been wonderful to be back on site with students engaged in face to face (or more correctly mask to mask) interactions after our recent periods of remote learning.  Whilst we have demonstrated as a learning community that we are agile and can adapt to remote learning, our shared hope is very much that this current set of circumstances will continue.  Whatever does evolve in 2022 we will be served well by the adoption of a hope-centred learning approach along with choosing Joy wherever possible.

We are back and ready to go. 

Hampers!  Hampers!  Hampers! 

We did a great job on our Christmas hampers at the end of last year.  We filled two cars to the brim with our Family Spirit Hampers.  Our students did a fantastic job of getting them together, and writing a personal card for each of our hamper recipients.  

Below is a letter from Family Spirit who distributed the hampers to young people in need.  It’s good to read that our efforts are appreciated and are actually making a difference in the lives of others.  Go Vinnies!

 

2022 has begun.  Vinnies Night Patrol is set to begin again in March.  We have an extra night each month assigned to us, in response to requests from our ‘Old Girls’ from last year and previous years to join the team.  This is great news.  Previous Social Justice Captains will likely lead the way in forming a roster of Alumni to ‘woman’ the van.  Charlotte Patchett, Social Justice Captain 2021, is keen and ready.  Many of her peers are keen to join the fun.  Our new night will be a Thursday, added to our existing Tuesday evening venture.  To support these efforts we will begin our “Fund a Filling” program, and our “Sandwich Project”.  As soon as I get a firm start date from Vinnies Van Services, I will share a roster for students sign up for an afternoon of sandwich making.  Based on last year’s experience, this will go from 3.15pm-4.30pm.  We will make 250 sandwiches, bag them, label them and pack them into my car ready to go to the van depot in Lewisham.  I’m really looking forward to seeing our friends on our route again.  Hopefully we can catch up on the escapades of Trish’s grandchildren and find out how Trevor is going as he waits for his knee surgery.  I expect there will be some new faces to meet, new friends to make and some will have moved on.  More news of social justice opportunities will come in the next week, along with plans for formation and spirituality opportunities for students.  Watch this space.

Report on this week's Paul Dillon Workshops for Years 12, 10, 11

On Thursday our Years 12, 11 and 10 students had the opportunity to enjoy our ongoing relationship with Paul Dillon, from Drug and Alcohol Research and Training Australia (DARTA).  Senior students, for each of their final three years at St Vincent's are provided with the latest insights from Paul that aim to make their lives safer.

Our ongoing relationship with DARTA is an investment of good information and current trends that grows student knowledge so they are better equipped to make wiser choices.  We do this because we care and believe this information actually saves lives.

The content informs students as to what may go wrong in social settings, and how to be best prepared to act should issues arise.  The students were enthusiastic in attending their respective 100 minute presentations, which was also attended by their teachers and members of the Pastoral Team.  The messaging of each session reflected the life stages of each Year group.

Year 10:  Young people, alcohol and risk taking:  Looking after your mates.

This introductory session focuses on alcohol and attempts to debunk some of the myths in this area, particularly around how to look after someone who has drunk too much.  Simple strategies to keep themselves and their friends safer when they are socialising were provided to the students.  Using the latest prevalence data ‘positive norms’ were promoted, ie the majority of Year 10’s do not use drugs.  Information was also provided on e-cigarettes and vaping. Finally, using real-life stories, basic life skills on how to deal with alcohol-related emergencies were discussed, including knowing when to call an ambulance.

Year 11: Alcohol and cannabis:  What do you and your friends need to know?

This presentation reviewed and built upon the practical strategies introduced in their Year 10 session.  Information on cannabis was provided, once again focusing on ‘positive norms’ ie most young people do not use the drug and fewer teens are using it than in the past.  Potential cannabis-related harms, with an emphasis on mental health was discussed, as well as some of the possible warning signs that could indicate a person may be experiencing problems with their cannabis use.  An update on vaping and e-cigarettes was also covered.  Finally, the impact of alcohol on the adolescent brain was discussed, highlighting the potential risks of drinking during the teen years.

Year 12: Last year at school:  What do I need to know about alcohol and other drugs?

By their final year of school, many students will either be driving or about to get their licence.  To ensure these young drivers are as suitably prepared, information about drink driving and the process of random breath testing (RBT), as well as roadside (RDT) or mobile drug testing (MDT) were discussed. Some information about ecstasy/MDMA and psychedelics was tabled, including the implications of being caught with an illicit substance in your possession. Finally, the importance of seeking help as quickly as possible should something go wrong was reiterated.

Broad trends in Australian secondary schools

In the staff session, Paul shared trends on Drugs and Alcohol in Australian secondary schools.  Selected points follow:

·   Whilst the majority of Australian students don’t use drugs (excludes alcohol and tobacco), the access to such drugs is on the rise.

·   Overall, alcohol use amongst teens has declined although it is the 15-year age group where its consumption changes.

·   In COVID times, teens are shifting from crammed social environments, moving outside for socialisation, typically away from parents.  This may be wandering the streets, gathering in parks, the bush and/or beaches.  Teens use location apps to meet at such venues which has seen a rise in gangs targeting wealthier areas.  There has been an increase of robberies and assaults in recent times.  Whilst this is more common in Melbourne there are signs emerging in Sydney.

·   E-cigarettes and vaping continue to rise and pose health issues as the inhale is now more often an aerosol, versus vapor, with unknown contents. Despite recent legislation teens are still accessing, often through social media connections.

·   Fewer young people are using cannabis, but community attitudes are changing in this area.  Cannabis remains the most popular illicit drug in Australia which is known to unlock mental health issues.  Its access and presentation have heightened as it can be consumed in lollies, energy drinks etc…typically accessed via the web.

·  The EMERGENCY + App is a push button (phone) tool that gives immediate location of phone users, should help from police, ambulance etc…be required.

Moving forward

We encourage parents/carers to seek out conversations about the information presented with their daughter(s) when the moment best arises.

Throughout the academic year, teachers particularly, but not limited to Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE), Science, Religious Studies, will synthesise much of this information with the syllabus.  Paul mentioned in the staff session that information alone does not necessarily change behaviour and there may be merit in outsourcing skill behaviours.

Whilst teachers are not drug and alcohol counsellors, they certainly have a role in student wellbeing,

At St Vincent's, we aim to build student resilience by connecting and developing positive relationships.  We continue to work hard to create opportunities for your daughter(s) to experience a sense of belonging in our community.  Our academic and pastoral care programs provide opportunities to identify issues and allow for early intervention.  We welcome ongoing parent/carer partnerships as we educate your daughter(s).
