Dear Parents and Carers

This week we celebrated with the graduating Class of 2022 and the Accelerants of the Class of 2023 their outstanding growth and achievements in the HSC.  At the Academic Assembly on Wednesday, our College Dux, Grace Robinson Award Prizewinner, and Mary Aikenhead Education Award Prizewinner (for the highest ATAR achieved in any one of their Colleges across Australia), Elyssa Chaaya, delivered an address.  She spoke with a passion and wisdom beyond her years, and the paragraph that captured my attention was referenced to her Mother.  I am sure as parents and carers you will connect with this sentiment:

"So, my first piece of advice to you is this:  During this journey, whatever your goals are, no matter their magnitude - have no regrets.  Because there were times when I felt deflated and hopeless, and one time I asked my Mum, who consistently helped me throughout the year, "Why do you care so much about what ATAR I get?" And she said to me, "Elyssa, you need to understand - on the morning that ATARS come out I will not be looking at your ATAR, I will be  looking at your face and all I want is to see you be proud of the work, time and dedication you put in"."

Bonnie Joseph, another of our highly accomplished students (First in State Ancient History; Third in State Advanced English) also spoke to the assembly and I will provide access to her wise words in a future newsletter.

This weekend the parents of the College have their first opportunity of the year to come together to celebrate the commencement of the year and to fulfill our commitment by contributing to the common good.  The common good will be served through the inclusivity and hospitality new parents experience tomorrow evening, and the strengthening of friendships among existing parents.  I look forward to seeing you there for a balmy night under the stars. 

Yours sincerely

Mrs Anne Fry
Principal

As students and staff embrace the opportunity for learning building upon the value of justice in 2023, we intentionally seek to identify areas of our world that call for us to deepen our understanding, broaden our perspectives and challenge our attitudes to enable more just behaviours that offer dignity to all people.  Over this next month Sydney will host WorldPride celebrating Australia’s diverse LGBTQIA+ community (17 February - 5 March) followed immediately after by International Women’s Day (8 March).  The UN Women Australia’s theme for this year is Cracking the Code:  Innovation for a Gender Equal Future - with a focus on ‘creating new social, economic and cultural codes for a gender equal future’ UN Women Australia and the International Women’s day theme is #Embrace Equity International Women's Day theme driven by the vision that by embracing equity, we embrace diversity and inclusion as the right or ‘just’ thing to do.

When I listened to the words of our recent graduates of the Class of 2022 at Wednesday’s Academic Assembly, I was reminded of the aspirations they have for how they may use their St Vincent’s education as intelligent young women, courageous in their actions in shaping the world they desire.

With gratitude I quote two of these young Alumni.

I’ve come to realise that my time at Vinnies has shaped me as an individual.  A Vinnies education caters to the whole person rather than solely one’s academic endeavours.  Vinnies taught my cohort that of equal importance to our ATAR is acting with compassion in daily interactions, being assured in the strength of our voices as young women, and, of course, prioritising the friendships we made during our time at school … Vinnies allowed my love of the Humanities to flourish … My education at Vinnies privileged justice and creativity … Sylvia Plath once said that “the worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt”, but my time at Vinnies taught me that wielding one’s creativity fosters confidence and the continued desire to learn, ultimately quashing self-doubt every time”.
Bonnie Joseph

Be the one who loves walking not the one who loves the destination.  If you love the destination and you reach it, that is where you will stop.  If you love the destination and you don’t reach it, you will get tired, and once again, you will stop.  But if you love walking, no matter how difficult it gets you will keep walking, you will not let tiredness overcome you and you will not stop. 
Elyssa Chaaya

The Years 11 and 12 students who were present for this Assembly were certainly inspired by the words of Bonnie and Elyssa as they now set aspirations and actions for their year ahead as leaders shaping a pathway for themselves as well as both our community and life beyond.  The Class of 2022 led us in the Year of Hope.  Working towards change asks us to be people of hope, faith-filled with vison and belief, and a preparedness to be the agents of making the hope possible through perseverance and tenacity.  The baton has been handed over to the Class of 2023 to continue that legacy of being people for people in this Year of Justice.  It is in our interactions with each other that will ensure our hope is about being just, fair and kind as the right thing to do, enabling a life that gives worth to all.

Leadership by women is often characterised by an intention to create safe and inclusive communities, to advocate for those whose voices need to be heard to afford justice - enabling the dignity we each deserve.  That does not at all presume this is the domain of female leaders alone, but the opportunity of girls’ education offers us a particular view into what matters to our young female leaders who are immersed in their world with both a critiquing mind and a compassionate heart.  At St Vincent’s College we value our listening to and dialogue with our students, and I encourage you as those who have chosen a girls’ education for your daughters to engage in this dialogue with your daughters to learn what they consider as important in shaping a world of justice.  I recommend a great resource and provocation for conversation - 10 years of All About Women – https://stories.sydneyoperahouse.com/10-years-of-all-about-women/ where you may go back to talks over the years as well as book for this year’s line-up of presenters - diverse female voices - that is indeed worth celebrating. 

Mrs Elizabeth Brooks
Deputy Principal

One element of learning that is often the focus of conversation and planning at the start of the year is assessment, so it seems timely to explore where assessment fits in the experience of learning.

• Assessment is a natural part of learning as at its core it is designed to “establish and understand where learners are in an aspect of their learning at the time of assessment” (Masters 2014).  This is fundamental to being able to design and deliver lessons that stretch a student’s knowledge and skill level to that point of challenge where learning takes place.
• Assessment is only ever a snapshot of a moment in time.  Sometimes those snapshots will be really accurate occurring at a moment of mastery achievement, or when a learner gains clarity over a concept.  However, this will not be the case for every student at the same time, which is why assessment is wide ranging and occurs in a variety of forms.
• Assessment therefore also needs to occur regularly, through questions, collaborative tasks, dialogue, and independent activities, all of which offer students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding and skill development.
• Sometimes assessment occurs as more formal, cohort style tasks, but the central purpose is the same as when assessment is informal-capturing what learning a student has attained and generating feedback for teacher and student to design and engage in informed future learning.

As such, assessment is synonymous with the College’s Learning Framework:

• It empowers students by providing an opportunity to showcase growth and developing
• It informs teachers and students about progress in learning
• It can transform next steps for teacher and student so that learning is purposeful and personalised

I say this as our senior students have received their assessment handbooks in the last few days and our junior students will receive theirs early next week. The nature of a ‘handbook’ can make assessment seem a larger or more daunting task than it is intended to be.  At their essence, the assessment handbook is simply identifying some of the many opportunities students have to demonstrate their learning growth.  Without assessment, learning could become directionless or misinformed.  It is a valuable opportunity for gaining feedback, advice and opens a conversation between teacher and students about what is next.

I would also like to affirm the role that justice plays in our assessment practices.  The assessment policy provided to the students and available on the College website speaks to the means by which we ensure all students are supported to access tasks.

In the junior years access is best achieved in the context of the classroom where assessments are designed to ensure there is plenty of time, constructive scaffolds and other supports, as needed.  In the senior years, these supports start to mirror the provisions that students are able to access for their HSC year.  The policy also outlines the support structures in place for unexpected events that can interrupt or hinder a student from engagement in the assessment program.

I encourage students to step into their assessment experiences, using them as an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities, engage with their teacher’s advice and plan the next steps in their learning journey.

Ms Alison Boyd-Boland
Director of Teaching and Learning

From Friday 10 to Sunday 12 February, Boarders had their In Weekend.  We participated in a range of fun activities and one that was particularly relevant in our Year of Justice, was the brainstorming and skit activity.

Initially, we shared what justice was from a scriptural point of view, “justice means loving our neighbour as we love ourselves and is rooted in the character and nature of God. As God is just and loving, so we are called to do justice and live in love.”   This aimed to inspire the girls and provide a brief explanation of what “justice” is for those struggling to wrap their heads around it.

Next, we asked the girls to reflect on what justice means to them, encouraging them to share with their table groups and think about examples of where they see justice in Boarding.

After this we shared as a collective.  Some answers of justice in Boarding include:

• Holding the door
• Respecting privacy/spaces - common room
• Being kind
• Speaking nicely
• Inviting others to Woolworths - inclusivity

Following our discussion we asked the girls to bring their ideas to life, coming up with a skit of what justice looks like in the Boarding House.  Most groups created a skit that illustrated injustice such as exclusion, performed it and then re-did it inserting justice.  This was really effective in showing the girls how they can correct unjust behaviour in a way that was still fun and engaging, and everyone had a laugh!

The first In Weekend of 2023 started with a bang….literally!  Laser tag never fails to disappoint, and the people at Strike at the Entertainment Quarter were very accommodating of lots of Boarders and staff ready to play laser tag and bowling (photos at the end of this article).  Mother Nature was very cooperative on Sunday with a beautiful day for our walk and Year group picnics at Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, but first a bit of Maths with a budget per Year group to buy snacks for morning tea.  It was such a lovely day spent together just hanging out and chatting in the beautiful sunshine, even Alfie enjoyed having his photo taken by lots of tourists!

Yours in Boarding

STEM News

In December 2022, students in Year 10 choosing Physics as a senior subject were offered the opportunity to participate in ‘Explore UNSW - Engineering with impact’ - a day course run by the university to increase students' understanding and knowledge of engineering. 

Polly Grindrod, Amelia Haynes and Gemma Vinciguerra took on the challenge.  During the day they participated in different workshops on mechanical and civil engineering, which included learning from and interacting with the professors and university students in these courses whilst learning more about what they actually entailed.

The workshops also included hands-on activities:

• Mechanical - the focus was on aerospace designs and students needed to design a delivery capsule to deliver aid to remote areas dropped via parachute (pictured below)
• Civil - students needed to design a floating platform for mangroves to grow on in regions that needed rejuvenation and lacked biodiversity.

Congratulations to our St Vincent's girls - who actually won best design for the floating mangroves.
