Dear Parents and Carers

There has been plenty of magic in the air this week as St Vincent's College morphed into "Crunchem Hall".  The adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel, Matilda, into a musical has blended the best of his storytelling with the illusion and theatrical wizardry possible on the stage.  When combined with the talent and energy of our students, the end product has been nothing short of spectacular.  Congratulations to Ms Catherine Johnson and a remarkable cast and crew who have overcome the challenges of surging Covid and other medical emergencies, to present a season of outstanding performances.  The singing, dancing, comedy, special effects and sophisticated electronics were dazzling and each night has played to a widely enthusiastic audience.  Our humble College Hall has transformed for the week with remarkable agility into a theatre and next week will return to play host to other end of year gatherings.  Having our production at the end of the year when there is so much competition for people's time and energy is a risk, but it has paid great dividends this year.  If you do not yet have a ticket, it is worth trying very hard to get one!  I am not endorsing scalping but this show would be worth it!

On Monday night we gather in a theatre of a very different scale as we fill the Sydney Town Hall to celebrate the achievements of this remarkable year we have just experienced at St Vincent's.  Although referred to as Speech Night, please don't be discouraged by the idea of long and multiple speeches.  The real focus of the night will rightly be the students who will entertain us and delight us with their broad range of achievements.

Our Business Manager, Mr Christopher Zielonka, finishes at the College next Tuesday 29 November.  He is relocating back to Adelaide.  Chris has been a wonderful colleague to me and a highly accomplished manager of the financial and property assets of the College.  We have employed a new Business Manager, Ms Samantha Xenos, who is currently in the Business team at Riverview College.  We are very fortunate to have Samantha join us and build upon the great foundation Chris has built in his seven years at St Vincent's. 

In hope,

Yours sincerely

Anne Fry
Principal

Many of us have marvelled this week at the tremendous talent of our students and staff who have given us the gift of Matilda the Musical.  On Opening Night, and each performance since, I have been blown away by the high calibre of performance, both on stage and the back-stage production, set design, lighting and sound.  It isn’t just a little bit good, but truly a labour of love and committed rehearsal that has culminated in such superb accomplishment and so much joy.  Each night we have been delighted to see not only current students and families, but more and more of our Alumni students and prospective families turn up.  That Vinnies spirit - wanting to return and savour the delight of a Vinnies Drama Production - or to come and find out what all the fuss is about - is a source of pride and promise for us all.  Congratulations to all who have been involved - including families supporting with the many pick-ups and listening to lines and songs rehearsed at home.

At College Assembly on Wednesday Mrs Fry challenged the girls to consider the Visible and Invisible - what we choose to show in the visible moments of our lives contrasted with what we may do in the invisible spaces. As usual she cleverly wove a link from the recognition of World Toilet Day to the 60th anniversary year of the Goulburn strike by Catholic families to secure government assistance to construct a new toilet block to meet health requirements, and in so doing pursue government commitment to funding in Catholic and Independent schools.  Students were asked to consider the alignment between the values we espouse publicly and the behaviours we engage in privately.  A life lived with integrity aligns the visible with the invisible.  A commitment to growth and improvement allows us to work, often invisibly, to arrive at a visible outcome of our labours.  The College Production is truly an example of this as what we were so impressed by seeing our students present on stage, their visible performance, which can only be obtained as a product of the many invisible (not necessarily inaudible) hours of committed rehearsal.  It is when invisible efforts are made visible that we enjoy the reward.

This week I was also in receipt of NSW Women’s Strategy 2023-2026.  Back in June this year, members of the Class of 2022 formed a panel to offer the voices of young women as part of a consultation for the shaping of the NSW Women’s Strategy 2023-2026 which has now just been released, it’s purpose to advance economic and social equity for women and girls in NSW.  Our students had opportunity to share what matters most to girls, what their hopes are for their future, whether they perceive any barriers and, if so, what kind of response is needed.  It was gratifying to receive the publication of this Strategy and know that our students have had a part to play in actioning key goals and strategies.  Alongside the Strategy itself, I was also provided, in response to our girls’ interest, a White paper from Western Sydney University: “What’s the Bloody Big Deal? How Australian workplaces and educational institutions can help break the menstrual taboo”; Armour M, Duffy, S, Gilbert, E, Hammond, H, Hawkey, A, O’Shea, M, Smith, M, Taylor, C, Ussher, J, (2022).  read here. This piece of research explores how silence and stigma about menstruation creates obstacles to women and girls’ full participation in education and work. This is a good example of that which is most often relegated to the invisible of a woman’s schooling and work life, and yet the impact can be made visible through lack of recognition or representation at work.  It is pleasing to me as an educator of girls, that we engage them in opportunities to re-imagine and construct education and workplaces that better align the invisible and the visible to ensure equity for women.  I encourage you to read the NSW Women’s Strategy (2023-2026).  As parents of daughters, it is very much your interest to grow your awareness of the hopes for the community in which they live and construct.

”Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” - Socrates

It is widely accepted by historians that schools existed at the very birth of all civilisations, with records going back to the very first written artifacts. In the Middle East, school records exist for Egypt’s Middle Kingdom over 4000 years ago.  Records from the Xia Dynasty in China indicate that schools were operating also over 4000 years ago.  In India, schools have their origin in the Vedic and Buddhist education systems approximately 3500 years ago.  In Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, records of schools operating have existed for over 2500 years.  It is clear that the value that societies hold in schools is as old as civilisations themselves and remains central to societies all over the world today.

Whilst the functions of schools are obvious to all, their place in a person’s lifelong learning journey is unique in many ways.  One could easily argue that all of life is a learning experience.  It is true that we learn from almost every experience, but one of the unique features of schools in our lifelong learning journey, is that they are comparatively safe spaces to take risks in learning.  Some of life’s important lessons have long-lasting consequences that can even seem brutal in the moment and severe in their longevity.

In contrast, schools encourage risk taking in learning in a structured and supported environment, allowing individual creativity and promoting the pursuit of rigour for a greater learning gain.  In addition to support, feedback is provided to promote reflection, leading to improvement in one’s learning endeavours. Learning challenges are presented in a variety of mediums and experiences ensuring a mixture of developing natural strengths and pushing out into unchartered or unfamiliar waters.  Schools nurture the ability to strive for one’s best, knowing that they will have the opportunity to try again and be supported in the process.

Whilst a learning journey is primarily a personalised experience, in schools almost always students have companions along the way to share the inevitable ups and downs.  Generally, in any given year, learning tasks include opportunities to work collaboratively with others, fostering important skills to productively work in team situations.  Such skills are  a valuable asset to carry through life as they can enhance everyday interactions both in future work scenarios and socially. 

Through history, in different cultures and in modern society, schools are dynamic and reflect different priorities and approaches to learning.  Thankfully western education has moved past the memorisation of facts to the application of knowledge and skills in creative and original ways.  This hones in on the new paradigm - an education to equip students to be collaborators, thinkers, problem-solvers who are socially aware, digitally savvy, outward looking and future focussed.  At St Vincent's College, this extends further to include the learnings of a rich tradition of the Sisters of Charity in a faith-based awareness of self and those around us, particularly those in need.  Education is a blessing that we often take for granted at the time but proves to be providence in the richest sense.

Director of Teaching and Learning and Education Administration

On Wednesday we started to put together a scavenger hunt ready for Thursday. We came up with riddles that would represent parts of the school (eg What room has the most stories? …library).  We would get the girls to take photos or videos of an object or of them performing an action.  We think the scavenger hunt was lots of fun.  It was funny to watch everyone laugh about where the locations would be.  Everyone enjoyed the fun experience and also for bonding time and getting to know each other better than before.  By the end of it, everyone's clues linked up to ending in the common room where they had to perform ten burpees to really feel like they won.  In the end, Isi, Alison and Ellie won first prize but close behind was Heavenly, Georgia and Yindi.  The girls all did wonderful in the scavenger hunt and the coordinators enjoyed the time too - shout out to Mod for the awesome prizes.

Eliza Mudford and Millie Spora

With the end of the year approaching and most assessments finished for Years 7-10, we have been asking the Boarders' for ideas of activities to do and Eliza and Millie, two of our BRC representatives for 2023, came up with the scavenger hunt, which was a lot of fun for all Boarders'. This type of leadership is the reason they were selected as the representatives for their Year group - so well done, Millie and Eliza!

There are lots of events in the next two weeks to keep us occupied!  We do wish our SCEGGS Boarders' a safe holiday as they finish their academic year this week.  Unfortunately, they will miss our upcoming In-Weekend and the festive Christmas party, but I’m sure they’ll be there in spirit!

At our most recent College Assembly, our Boarding Co-Captains, Molly and Rosie, spoke so lovingly of Ms Linda McCabe - an excerpt is below:

Linda McCabe - some of you may know of her as she has been known for her spontaneous sightings in the day school as well as being a judge for House dance a few years ago.  She is one of our beloved coordinators and has been doing all this and more for over 27 years now.  At our last Speech Night, Linda was recognised for 25 years of service, her expertise extending beyond caring for us, but also being a point of call for weddings in our chapel - helping 'old girls' to celebrate their special day.  Sadly though, Linda has announced her retirement, however, while we will all miss Linda and her antics dearly, we are happy to see she gets a well-deserved break.

From the outside, it might seem like a coordinator is someone who encourages rules and has to be strict with us, however, these are the people at the end of the day who see you through it all and I'm sure if you asked any of the Boarders' of Linda's coffee order they would be able to tell you - flat white with an Equal.  Coordinators are the backbone of the Boarding House and Linda being Linda, emanates warmth, making it hard to stay upset with her if she has to reprimand us.

Linda gives 110% to every aspect of Boarding life and has been an amazing role model for all who have been lucky enough to spend time with her.  She has seen generations of families pass through St Vincent's and has had an impact on each and every one of them.  There is an upcoming function being held for Linda where past students are coming from all across Australia to recognise her work.  We want to recognise Linda's hard work not only in the Boarding House, but in the whole Vinnies' community.  Linda's loving, generous, hopeful and enthusiastic nature is really at the heart of the school.

Thank you Linda from the bottom of our hearts from all of us in Boarding - and for the decades before us.  We look forward to lots of events to somehow thank Linda for all the years of hard work, laughter and love she has given to St Vincent's College from the many, many Boarders' and Boarder families who hold her dear in their hearts.

Yours in Boarding

Maryanne O’Donoghue
Director of Boarding

In English this week we studied a classic Italian poem featuring Rinaldo and Armida. This story concerning love, religion and war derives from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "La Gerusalemme Liberata" (“Jerusalem Delivered”).  Set during the First Crusade in 1099 CE, it has served as a source of inspiration for a number of artists and composers throughout history.  After reviewing a collection of famous artworks influenced by Rinaldo and Armida, we were instructed to write a vignette on a single setting, theme, character or idea from this tale.  Here are a few examples of our classwork.
Florence Gordon

Armida about to kill Rinaldo - Sophie Mocsari

She grasped the arrow steadily in her palm, her fingers curling obediently around the weapon. She positioned herself in a fixed stature. The trembling leaves whispered their foreign tongue as the breeze enveloped their hidden messages. She examined the warrior as he lay peacefully against the bulging roots of the tree.

Her eyes were entranced as they unpacked the beauty before her.  Rinaldo’s tinted hair mirrored the golden sun, curtaining his sheer eyelids. His breathing was as soft as the wind that brushed his auburn crown of locks. The rise and fall of his chest became the core of Armida’s vision, tampering the rhythm of her own breath. Armida’s gaze traced the sunlit frame of his angular features.

The more she took him in, the more her heart ached and swelled beneath her chest. Sweat beaded along the crevices of her clenched hands. The arrow she possessed became a mere extension of her arm that she wished would fade away along with her consciousness.

Time crept tentatively across a fine line, awaiting a cross road - a shift in affairs. But Time recognised the pooling in her eyes. It knew of the strain in her neck. Time watched as her figure went limp in surrender.  Love had conquered this battle.

Armida’s Garden - Florence Gordon

Sunlight burst through the greenhouse glass, bathing the room in a warm, milky glow. The golden beams danced in the light, gently lapping at exotic flowers and lush, emerald fronds. The fragrant blossoms had produced an irresistible aroma that wafted in a wave of temptation throughout the garden. Sweet, fruity, intoxicating. Each towering pilaster curved into an ornate archway. Wild vines intertwined around the lavish columns, cascading across the colonnades as if it were a climbing frame.

Rinaldo and Armida in the garden - Antonio Sanchez

The birds sang and the fragrant flowers blossomed.  The soft whisper of the wind brushed past the tall, overarching, marble pillars which outlined the garden.  The water trickled down into the clear pond which rested beside the garden bed.  Red, yellow, and purple flowers covered the extensive horizon as the sun rose from the abyss.  Vines threaded through the fountain's priceless, marble brim which carried roses, dahlias and hibiscus flowers along it.  The fair maiden placed herself along the spotless brim which was as clear as a mirror as she brushed her fingertips across the enchanted, pristine water.

Armida’s Garden - Elektra Paroci

A range of dazzling and delicate flowers lined the bushes of the garden, casting an enchanting smell throughout the garden as the winds sway back and forth. The sun shines its bright rays of light upon the various flora and fauna littering the grounds. The space is filled with critters and creatures scuttering through the grass and weeds. Large oak trees provided housing for moss and cascading vines, the tall stature of the tree providing shelter from the sun's rays. The scent of freshly cut grass after an evening's downpour of rain would be enough to overwhelm one's sense of smell. The wind flowing through the leaves of the tall oak trees created a quiet calming sensation through the grounds.

Armida’s Garden - Zara McCormack

A soft summer breeze drifts like a snake though the tropical leaves, earning a faint rustle in response. It glides through the nooks and crannies of the overgrown plants delicately, with a grace that no predator should have, with trepidation - almost as if it’s scared to disrupt the beauty. Fruit grows in the garden too, from mangoes to apples to papaya - yellow, green and red create a bewitching contrast.

Armida walks tenderly through the soft grass, pieces sticking up through her toes, sprouting out from under her, aching to touch the sun as the rest is cushioned beneath her bare feet. Green is everywhere - emerald, jade, peridot - dotted with the vibrant colours of fruit and flowers, mixing together to create a heavenly sweet and fresh scent, able to cleanse with each breath. Sun dances through the garden, disappearing behind the shadows, beating down warmth and light in strong, reliable rays, coating the garden in gold.

The Final Battle - Ava McDonnell-Zammit

The evergreen leaves on bustling trees swayed and rustled at the slightest uprest. Hollow screams of dying soldiers were carried in the breeze and forcefully danced around me. Their cries of despair filled my ears so heavily I could no longer hear them. The sun had already begun to set; the subtle orange turned burnt and spread across the sky. A single glance at it and the burnt orange formed harrowing flames.

Strong heartbeats thundered in my chests and the fast breaths I couldn't help but take caused my mind to pound. I could no longer focus on anything. Not on the thick red fluid forming puddles around soulless bodies. Not on the faint sound of a birds song filling the cold air. Not on the cries of help from those clinging onto one last hope of life.

I couldn’t do it. How am I supposed to kill him? How am I supposed to pierce the skin of his chest and send an arrow into the depths of his body? I turned the arrow and prepared myself to send it through my own chest.  His hand seized mine…

This week the Italian classes of Year 8, 8H, 8G and 8J had the amazing opportunity to make and shape our own pasta.  We learnt how to make the pasta dough and cut it into shapes such as gnocchi, tagliatelle, farfalle and more, then took them home to cook and eat.  Thank you for the help of Mrs Khachigian, Ms Manitta and Ms De Souza, we were able to do this all together in the Atrium during class time learning about traditions, culture and recipe vocabulary.  This was a great and very fun experience - and the pasta was deliziosa!

TERM 4 SPORT

Inter-House Swimming Carnival and Swimming Training

The highlight of the term for most of us will be the return of the inter-House Swimming Carnival at Drummoyne Pool on Thursday 1 December.  To prepare for this, swimming training is on Monday mornings 7.15am-8.15am and Wednesday afternoons 3.15pm-4.15pm in the College pool, and all are welcome to attend. 

The Championship races (or serious races) will be the first two races and then the non-competitive ones will follow.  All students are encouraged to swim in at least two events on the day.  Those students who cannot swim on the day can still earn some House points by offering to help and for dressing up and cheering for their House.

Those hoping to make the College team for the IGSA Carnival or go for Age Champion need to swim in the Championship races.  The IGSA Carnival is being held on 17 March 2023 at Homebush, and this squad will be picked from our carnival this term so that students can train over the holidays.  Any questions please email - jacobsj@stvincents.nsw.edu.au .
