1369 Monday 26 June 2017 Dear Members of the Loyola College Community,

The last fortnight has been busy with examinations and the preparation of Semester 1 Reports. It is pleasing to see students working hard to ensure the best possible results. In this final newsletter for the term we share a number of important events and notices.

Upcoming Events The next few days will see a number of events taking place to finish the term’s activities. These will include, the end of term College Assembly, the Winter

Music Concert, the New Zealand Ski Trip, and the two Presentation Balls for Year 11 students. I thank in advance all who have worked to make these events possible.

East Timor Immersion In the holidays two senior students Victoria Kantaras (11 XVSE) and Renee Shannon (11 CJBO) will be involved in the Jesuit Schools immersion visit to East Timor along with other students from our Ignatian schools in Australia. The students will be accompanied by Ms Morris. As always I anticipate that this will be a wonderful opportunity that will celebrate the culmination of much hard work and effort by staff, parents and students who have put in many hours of preparation and organisation. I look forward to hearing of their experiences on their return.

Italian Sister School Visitors Our Italian visitors from the IPSSAR Maffioli leave us at the end of this week and return to Italy concluding their four week stay at Loyola College. At a special dinner on Thursday 8 June they were presented with certificates acknowledging their participation in the Loyola Vocational Exchange Program in Hospitality. I thank Ms Grills our Intercultural Perspectives Coordinator, for all her hard work in overseeing the organisation of this program at the College. I also thank the many staff, students and families who contributed to its success.

All Schools Cross Country On Saturday 17 June, five Loyola students represented the College at the Victorian All Schools Cross Country at Bundoora Park. This is a significant day in athletics as it serves as the selection trial for the Australian Cross Country Championships. Congratulations to Kieran Randall (U15), Caden Murray (U16), Liam Kolar (U16), Joshua Dowling (U16) and Joel Woods (U17) who all completed the course in good time.

It was great to be out on the course supporting the blue, white and burgundy. A special mention to both Caden Murray who came ninth in his respective age groups, earning him a position to compete at Nationals. Best of luck to Caden

Winter Sleep out On Friday 16 June Mr Chris Lynch, Mrs Louise Crowe and Mr John Tran accompanied 13 students on a Winter Sleep out. The students visited Oznam Community Centre, the St Vincent de Paul soup van and had dinner at Lentil as anything before returning to the College to sleep on. the cold floor boards in

the Function’s Room. At the heart of an Ignatian school is the concern and service of the marginalised. This opportunity highlights the plight of those in need in our community. We hope that it builds tolerance, compassion and understanding.

Staffing Matters At the end of this term we farewell Mrs D’Angelis, LEXSA Secretary who has resigned from the College. We also farewell Mr Angel who is taking Long Service Leave and then will retire from the College. We thank Mr Angel for his significant contribution and loyalty to Loyola over the last 14 years and we wish him well in the future.

We welcome Ms Borghesi (Classroom Assistant), Ms Lo Presti (Italian Language Assistant) and Ms Gerard (French Language Assistant) to the College. We also welcome Ms Pouliot who will replace Mr Angel in Semester 2.

As the holidays approach I take this opportunity of thanking all who have contributed to the success of another busy term and I wish all who are able to take a break, a happy and safe holiday period. I look forward to welcoming all back in July to Founders term.

In Term Three, we welcome three student teachers from Bethlehem University. They will be spending times with us for the first four weeks of term. Their names are Ms Amani Oberidat, Ms Shahd Froukh and Ms Abrar Al Qambar. We look forward to hearing their story and the sharing of their experience.

Grimshaw Street Entry and Exit The bollards at the Grimshaw Street carpark go up at 2:00pm and remain raised until 4:00pm.

In the morning, the bollards go up at 7:00am and come down at 8:45am.

Parents are asked not to enter the Grimshaw car park at these times.

This is to ensure the safety of our students as buses enter and exit the College.

The Bollards are timed to allow a bus or one staff car to enter.

Parents are asked not to rush to enter after another vehicle as the timing mechanism does not allow for this to happen and it may result in damage to cars.

To allow for a smooth flow of traffic in and out of the Grimshaw street car park, parents are reminded not to turn right out of the Grimshaw Street carpark at peak times.

The College is appreciative of parental support of these matters.

Student Behaviour at Watsonia Station On Monday 19 June, I received a phone call from a very distressed member of staff at Watsonia station.

She reported that several of our students are engaging in unsafe behaviour at the station and not responding to requests to refrain from such behaviour.

This is a very serious concern as it puts the safety of students at risks. Parents are encouraged to discuss this matter with their son/daughter to generate an awareness of the dangers of this type of behaviour.

Further, the way students present in public has a direct impact on the good reputation of the College. Most of our students are polite and cooperative. It is disappointing that a few students misrepresent the wonderful community we have at Loyola College

Year 12 students Winter Sleepout This year’s Loyola Year 12 Winter Sleep out took a different turn to past years. Due to the current refurbishment of

Ozanam House we instead visited Ozanam Community Centre, a day refugee that supports the homeless with meals, washing and storage facilities, medical and dental care, liaison with government departments and other support agencies. The centre also provides opportunities to participate in various life skill programs.

The students were welcomed by the staff and in particular Erica, a homeless persons’ ambassador and liaison person, who has previously experienced homelessness.

Mr Christopher Lynch Direct Line: 9433 0227

Erica had a job and family. In her early 50s things went awry and Erica found herself on the streets. She vividly described the challenges of living from hand to mouth, not feeling safe and the damage the experience did to her self-esteem. She explained to the students that Ozanam Community Centre was one of the key factors in helping her get back to a ‘normal’ life. She is so grateful that she now volunteers there a number of times a week, helping others who visit.

Louise Augustinus, the volunteer co-ordinator at Ozanam House, also spoke to our students about the issue of homelessness and accepted our students’ donations of winter clothing, food, toiletries and money.

Next stop was the soup van kitchen in North Melbourne where food is prepared for the 365 day a year nightly runs. Lorraine, a volunteer showed the students how they operate.

One myth that was busted on the night was the stereotype of the old homeless alcoholic making up the majority of the homeless. Most are under thirty, both male and female and from a diverse range of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. They are on the streets for a range of reasons including unemployment, family breakdown, mental health and other health issues, drug and alcohol dependency and, in many cases, just unfortunate circumstances.

Lentil as Anything The students had their dinner at ‘Lentil as Anything’ in Abbotsford. This is a vegetarian restaurant where there are no prices and people are invited to pay what they can afford or what they think the meal is worth.

This bountiful philosophy not only provides healthy fare to those in need, but it also brings together an eclectic mix of people to share food, music and conversation.

Our Loyola students certainly enjoyed the experience.

At Ozanam Community Centre

Waking up to a chilly morning

The students then spent a couple of hours walking around the CBD and ‘noticing’. During this period we had a number of stops and reflections based on what we were seeing. One particularly poignant moment was walking past the memorial to ‘mousey’ a homeless man who was murdered in 2014 by a person suffering a drug induced psychosis.

At the end of the evening the students returned to Loyola, reflected on the day’s events and slept out overnight to help them understand the plight of Melbourne’s Homeless. This activity will be run again on Friday, 4 August. It is open to students in Year 11. See Mr Lynch for a permission form.

My thanks to all those students, staff and families who sponsored the Year 12 students and Mr John Tran and Ms Lia Ray who assisted. I am particularly grateful to Ms Ray for suggesting the change in format and planning the CBD walk.

FROM ASSISTANT HEAD OF IGNATIAN MISSION

Year 8 Social Justice Activities In his 2013 Holy Thursday homily Pope Francis encouraged us to assist others “Help one another. This is what Jesus teaches us. This is what I do and I do it with my heart.”

It is with great pride that I can share with you how our year eight students have been living out Francis’ challenge.

In their religion classes students have been studying Social Justice looking specifically at the organisations that our Loyola community supports. Students were given an option in their assignments to undertake a fundraising activity on behalf of one of these charities. Over the last three weeks approximately fifty percent of the year level chose to take on this challenge.

The students designed, promoted and ran activities for the following Loyola charities: Jesuit Mission, MacKillop Family Services, St Vincent de Paul Society, Jesuit Social Services, Caroline Chisholm Society, McAuley Community Services for Women, Caritas and The Cancer Council

Ms Lia Ray Direct Line: 9433 0756

Activities run by the students included a Typo stationary sale, cake stalls, soft drink can sales, a body shop products raffle, jelly bean and lollies in a jar guessing competitions, a sausage sizzle, selling of sour straps or chocolates, a basketball shoot out and a football goal kicking competition. Together the students raised over $550.00.

While the money raised by students will be put to good use by their respective charities, what was impressive about the year eights who decided to fundraise was their commitment, enthusiasm and the passion they displayed running these activities. To see these young men and women embrace the opportunity to be people of action and undertake the harder task was a sign of them living out our Ignatian ethos. It was wonderful to witness the students engage with their peers, develop leadership skills and gain a deeper knowledge of what it means to be men and women for others.

I thank the year eights and their teachers for their fantastic work and encourage them to consider being involved in more service opportunities in the future.

Uniform Change - 2018 After discussion and consultation with the College’s Uniform Committee (PACUR), a change has been made to the girl’s summer socks which are worn with the summer dress in Terms One & Four.

The new socks will replace the existing ones which, as per the planner, are the knee high or 3/4 length white socks. The new socks are 3/4 in length and have a blue and maroon coloured stripe at the top of the sock.

Mr Mark Arnavas Direct Line: 9433 0202

Mrs Anna Salmic

The change will take effect as of Term One 2018; this means that all girls will be required to wear the new socks with the summer uniform. No other white sock will be permitted. In addition, as the new summer socks will be available for purchase from Term 4 2017, girls are able to change over to the new socks in term 4 if they wish to, or continue wearing the College regulation socks for the remainder of the term.

FROM VCAL COORDINATOR

Long Walk for Reconciliation As part of National Reconciliation Week (27 May to 03 June), the Loyola VCAL students united with St Damian’s Bundoora and St Mary’s Greensborough Grade 6 students to undertake a ‘Long Walk’ for Reconciliation. The local Long Walk undertaken by the three schools emulates the annual Long Walk undertaken by AFL footballer Michael Long in recognition of Reconciliation Week. Reconciliation Week was significant this year as it was the 50th Anniversary of the 1967 referendum that included Aboriginals being recognised in the census and the 25th Anniversary of the Mabo decision by the High Court of Australia.

The Grade 6 and VCAL students walked from St Mary’s and St Damian’s to Loyola College where they gathered for a day of celebrations. The students were part of a Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country performed by Wurundjeri elder Ian Hunter and heard about the personal story of John Baxter who is part of the Stolen Generation when he was taken from his family at a young age.

VCAL students cooked a sausage sizzle lunch and successfully served and fed 150 hungry Grade 6 students. Over the day, the Grade 6 students loved mixing with Loyola Senior Students and shared gifts of friendship bands that they had made. Some of the VCAL students were also able to re-connect with their old primary schools and teachers. Despite some bad weather, students got into the spirit of the day and the three schools are excited about making this an annual event as part of Reconciliation Week.

Year 12 Business Management Excursion to CUB in Abbotsford

On Friday, June 11, Mr Prout and Mr Baxter took the Year 12 Business Management classes to Carlton and United Brewery (CUB) in Abbotsford. Once there, the students were given an opportunity to explore first-hand the operations of a large manufacturing business.

CUB have been brewing beer on the banks of the Yarra River in Abbotsford for over 100 years. Today they brew up to 80,000 litres of beer a day. The students were taken through the entire process from when the barley, hops and yeast arrive on trucks from the farms, to the mashing and fermentation, and finally the pouring of the beer into kegs, cans and bottles. Our tour guide was very informative. She had been working at the brewery since the 1970s. She recognised our school uniform immediately, and she told us that all three of her own children were former students of Loyola and that they each still have fond memories of the College. Our students represented Loyola admirably and our tour guide was very impressed. So much so, that she rewarded each of them with a drink at the end of the tour… a SOFT drink!!!

Thank you to Matthew Caton (MJMM) for the photo.

Heidelberg Community Radio – VET Hospitality On Friday the 02 of June, Jordan Gabriel, Ms Chapman and I, Ashley Dwyer went on Heidelberg Community radio 96.5 FM to chat to listeners about: what VET Hospitality at Loyola is all about. We got over the butterflies in our stomachs and settled in behind the microphones in the sound proof studio for ninety minutes.

Billie Young was the radio announcer and she was so impressed that Loyola has a training restaurant called Iggy’s. Billie invited us along and asked us all about it. We explained that Iggy’s provides the hands on training for the subject Certificate II in Hospitality.

That the subject is opened to most students from year 10 to year 12. That it gave students a Certificate II in Hospitality as well as contributing towards our ATAR. She asked what we liked most about it and how it compared to other subjects. We spoke about working in the restaurant and the sort of classic but modernised dishes that we make. We mentioned dates that the public can book on and what to expect in the way of fine dining. We talked about the skills we are gaining, that are going to help us in all aspects of our future.

It was a unique experience for us and a lot of fun and would definitely do it all again!

STUDENT OF THE FORTNIGHT

 Earlier this term, McAuley Year 12 student Ashlea Salvaggio participated in the OXFAM Walk.

OXFAM is a charity walk in which Ashlea was the youngest to participate in - competing the 100km walk in an outstanding time of 36 hours and 42 minutes!

Ashlea did an incredible effort of raising a total of $4,731.00 for people living in poverty right across the world.

We would like to congratulate her on her efforts, she has inspired the whole house to go above and beyond to try to do more for those who need it most.

FROM THE STUDENTS

    The Australia’a Biggest Morning Tea occurred just a couple of weeks ago and was a great success. Every House raised money which will be given to the Cancer Council to help the fight against cancer.

McAuley also held a pizza sale fundraiser a few weeks ago, raising money for the McAuley House for Women - a charity that helps to support and provide much needed services for women and their children who are escaping family violence, and for women who are homeless. Each year they help around 600 women and children to rebuild their lives.

Recently, McAuley has had a great week following a 1st place win in the year 7 and 8 House Tennis competition! There was great competition displayed by all of the Houses, congratulations to everyone who participated and made it to the finals. The year 11 and 12 Futsal completion is also well under way with the year 9 and 10 competition happening too - a big thanks to you all for supporting your Houses and good luck to everyone in the upcoming competitions.

SUSTAINABILITY AT LOYOLA

Sustainability is an issue that we all need to address and act upon. It is an ongoing issue.

At Loyola the Sustainability club has been working hard in setting a standard and example for fellow students and community members. Earlier in the year, Loyola took part in “Clean Up Australia Day” where a number of students walked around the school filling bags and getting involved in getting Loyola clean again. We have also been enforcing the cleaning up after yourself at lunch and recess breaks, as it is a way at Loyola that we can really make a difference in our environment’s flora and fauna.

This term, we have set a goal in aiding the Australian Pygmy Possum, an endangered species that has had a dramatic drop in numbers over the past 50 years which is continuously dropping by the day. The new demand for housing estates around Melbourne, which has overrun the habitat of these helpless native animals, is one of the countless threats. A prime example of this habitat loss has been in Mount Buller, where at least a third of the breeding habitats have been lost due to the new ski resort developments.

At the College, we have also been running a campaign “Pie Day Friday” where for the past 5 weeks hot meat pies have been sold in order to raise funds to support the Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary’s captive breeding program. This program maximises the genetic diversity within the wildlife populations by carefully selecting mating pairs in a hope for a rise in the population of these members of the native wildlife. We have raised a large sum of money that will be sent to the sanctuary, supporting a life-changing cause.

The future of sustainability at Loyola College is not only in my hands, or those that are involved with the Sustainability club; it is something that can be influenced by students and parents from both home and school life, which fulfils the goal of having a green environment that respects our planet with the upmost care. In the next few terms we will have more goals and fundraisers with hopes of giving back to the planet that we call home

and what to expect in the way of fine dining. We talked about the skills we are gaining, that are going to help us in all aspects of our future.

It was a unique experience for us and a lot of fun and would definitely do it all again!

FROM MATHEMATICS TEACHER

Cubelete Robotic Blocks at St Mary’s Parish Primary With STEM jobs making up a large percentage of future careers Mrs Lauren Hartigan and Mr Anthony Lynch visited St Mary’s Parish Primary School’s grade 5 O on Thursday 15 June to collaborate on delivering the Victorian Digital Curriculum and build some of the foundation skills required for jobs in STEM.

The students were divided into teams of 3 and using the Cubelete Robotic Blocks the teams were charged with the task of discovering what the purpose of each robotic block was.

After some exploration time the class came back together and each team was able to contribute their findings. The class was able to determine the purpose of each robotic block

as well as describe them in terms of sensor block, think block and output block.

With the newfound knowledge of what each Cubelete Robotic Block could do, the teams were then told to imagine that they were an engineering design team that had been given the design challenge of creating a robot that would either speed up, get brighter or louder when it sensed a nearby object.

Each team enthusiastically embraced the challenge and used their best critical and creative thinking skills to design and build a robot that met the design brief. At the conclusion of the design and build time each team then had to present and demonstrate their robot whilst explaining the sensory inputs, thinking blocks and outputs of their robot.

All teams successfully meet the design brief with a range of exciting and inventive designs.

Over the coming weeks various members of the Mathematics faculty will be returning to St Mary’s to set more problem solving tasks using the Cubelete Robotic Blocks for the remaining grade 5 classes.

FROM ‘BOYS2MEN’ GROUP CO-CHAIR

Boys2men Through-out this year we have been piloting a program targeting boys and their fathers/male mentors with the aim to help facilitate each boy’s transition to young adulthood.

The program titled ‘boys2men’ includes developing a better understanding of men’s wellbeing related issues as well as the facilitation of meaningful conversations amongst peers and fathers/male mentors.

The main themes are: Exploration of stereotypes

Respectful relationships

Men’s mental, physical & emotional health

What advice would I give my 15 year old self?

Growth-mindset: stepping out of your comfort zone.

Throughout the program the boys have participated in work-shops run by our ‘boys2men’ staff team comprising of Rob Devling, Kieren Prowse, David Miller, Deb Anthony, Laurie Gunn and myself along with numerous external providers with expertise in men’s health related issues. The boys have also

Mr Anthony Lynch Direct Line: 9433 0732

Mr Sal Valentino Direct Line: 9433 0787

taken part in five ‘Rock & Water Program’ sessions where they have learnt about the direct links between their Physical, Social and Emotional Wellbeing.

Most recently the fathers/male mentors attended an evening alongside their sons where ex Hawthorn footballer Lance Picioane, founder of “Love Me Love You” addressed the group, sharing his mental health Journey, helping to break down stigmas. Also on this evening boys and their fathers/male mentors were encouraged to take part in guided conversations exploring their relationships, sharing their boyhood and becoming a man stories.

This evening coincided with ‘Men’s Health Week’ a Victorian initiative to promote Men’s Wellbeing.

FROM ‘BOYS2MEN’ GROUP MEMBER

Boys2men Project On Thursday June 08, the Boys2men group at Loyola gathered for a day of sessions aimed at helping our students learn more about positive mental and physical health and the benefits associated with each. Then that evening the students in our group brought their dads or male mentors along for another series of sessions aimed at inviting positive conversation between the adults and the students about positive mental and physical health and the benefits of having positive conversations. The night was a wonderful success.

Below are the reviews from two of our participants.

 Boys2men Men’s Health project On Thursday June 08, the 18 boys involved in the Year 9 Boys2men project, participated in our second Half Day program. Staff involved were Mr Valentino, Mr Devling, Mr Prowse, Mr Miller, Ms Gunn and Ms Anthony.

We had two guest speakers from Head Space come and talk to us about mental health and the impact it has on us. One of the speakers shared his story about overcoming mental health issues in the past. We also looked at our physical health and what we can do to improve our physical condition. Cameron Falloon, a Fitness and Conditioning trainer with extensive experience in the AFL and National Soccer league, who taught us how to take our own pulse and measure blood pressure as well as other things that contribute to functioning better.

Heavy Haulers conducted a boot camp style training session with high intensity circuit drills which really tested us and pushed us to work harder to complete each task. Later we engaged in a series of conversations in pairs and trios, learning about the art of conversation in a practical situation. By the end of the program, we realised that this experience so far has been really valuable for each of the boys.

Throughout the semester we have learnt the impact of mental health issues on the individual and those around them and how taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

Fathers/Male Mentors-Sons Evening Session I felt the boys2men evening program was quite interesting.

Guest speaker, Lance Picioane, who is the driving force behind a mental health foundation called, "Love me, Love you", shared the story of his tough past and how he changed his life around through that journey. Lance explained how he was a former AFL footballer who was suffering from anxiety at the time he was playing and this lead him down the wrong path. Lance became a drug addict and almost ended his life by jumping off a roof. Now he uses that experience to help other young people open up to thinking about mental health issues and their far-reaching impact. Lance's story was definitely worth hearing as it showed that you can turn your life around despite making a bad decision.

The fathers/male mentors and sons engaged in a conversation about the issues Lance had raised. Like me, I think most of the boys involved learned a bit from our

Alex Balassone (9 CNPA)

Mr Kieren Prowse Direct Line: 9433 0239

Patrick Carbis (9 CTFO)

fathers/male mentors that night. We had a series of questions to ask our fathers and they had questions for us as well. Some things I learned from my father's responses were definitely a surprise for me and it has changed the way I see some aspects of the world. I think everyone involved would agree that the evening session was made more interesting because of the father and son conversation. Overall, the evening program was worthwhile and I do recommend it in the future.

FROM INTERCULTURAL PERSPECTIVES COORDINATOR

High Resolves – Collective Identity As part of the College’s ongoing commitment to enhancing intercultural understanding, our year 8 students participated in the first module of their High Resolves journey – Collective Identity. This session took place on 29 May, 31 May or 07 June and involved 4 periods of total immersion and interactive activities, with a focus on students gaining a deeper understanding into what collective identity means.

During period 1, with our teaching staff Intercultural Understanding reps, the students explored the idea that each one of us has our own ‘cultural lens’ through which we interpret the world around us. Following on from this, Jon Christie from High Resolves spent the next two periods helping the students to learn to feel more confident about recognising divisive thinking and to act in a more unifying and less divisive way when they encounter day-to-day life. The culmination of the day was an assessment task designed by the ICU reps to gauge our students’ level of intercultural understanding as a result of the day’s activities. The success rate of this task was overwhelming and demonstrated that the students had gained a lot from the day.

The program was very well received by our students, with many positive sentiments being expressed to their teachers. Please find below a few examples:

Ryan Ikhtear (AAJL): Today I have learnt that everyone wants the same thing but labels are getting in the way. Everyone wants love, friendship and happiness in their lives.

Kelly Rotin (KHJM): I changed my perspective on how I react to memes and posts on social media as they can often be very offensive to certain groups of people.

Annaliese Neal (CLCR): Today I have learnt that we have been taught to be racist, to separate people into “Us and Them”, we are not born with this.

FROM ACS ALTHLETICS COACH

Victorian All Schools Cross Country Championships The Victorian All Schools Cross Country Championships, which serve as the selection trial for the Victorian Team, took place on Saturday 17 June at Bundoora Park with 5 Loyola athletes representing the College.

The boys U15 and U16 4km was the first event to feature Loyola athletes with Kieren Randall, Joshua Dowling, Liam Kolar and Caden Murray toeing the start line.

After his strong performances at the ACS Athletics, Caden Murray found himself towards the back half of the race after being impeded by fallen runners at the start. Over the next 2km Caden slowly made his way through the field to be in the lead group of 10 runners by the halfway mark of the race. Caden would go on to

finish 9th in a time of 13:08.35 earning himself a place on the Victorian Team for the Australian Championships in August.

Next across the line for Loyola was Liam Kolar in 23rd followed by Joshua Dowling in 56th. This was Joshua’s first time running an All Schools event and he was reward with a new personal best over 4km. Kieran Randall, in his first race representing the college, ran a consistent race to finish in 88th position in the boys U15 race.

The final Loyola runner to compete on the day was Joel Wood in the boys U17 6km. Joel was running with the lead group of runners after the first of two laps but as the second lap progressed Joel began to lose touch with the leaders. In what was a combined U17 and U18 race Joel crossed the finish line in 24th overall and 9th in the U17 race.
