This fortnight’s newsletter editorial has been prepared by Tara who was the Student Principal for a day in Week 6.

A leader is not someone who dictates control or has power. I believe it is someone who can lead by example, not authority, someone who is supportive and responsible, someone who has a positive attitude and someone who has strong teamwork skills. When I look at good leaders I see people who are involved within a community, understand and have a level of respect towards themselves and others around them. Leadership is a skill and quality that I highly value and is something that I want to build upon throughout my schooling at SAC and even afterwards. I believe having leadership skills will help everyone throughout their entire life, no matter what they decide to do. So far this year, I have been able to use my leadership skills in many different activities, ranging from partaking in a school sport to participating in workshops with UN Youth SA.I don’t think one particular thing can define a leader. For me in particular, I like to think that I can contribute my ideas to many aspects of life. Being in a sport team like netball and in a Drama production are just two of many examples. They allow me to build my confidence with those around me and allow me to use my teamwork and cooperation skills - qualities which I would definitely like to use later in my life. Another experience I was privileged enough to have was to participate in the UN Youth SA Conference. UN Youth is a national organisation that brings together like-minded students to talk about issues in society that are important to them. At this conference we focused on indigenous rights and, as NAIDOC week approaches, it has given me a good insight into ways to help with reconciliation. I was able to contribute my thoughts in workshop groups and share my ideas with the people there and build upon my listening skills, another incredibly important quality of a leaders. Recently, I have been selected to attend the UN Youth National Conference in Tasmania where we will focus on the UN’s eight millennium development goals. I am looking forward to sharing my opinion as well as represent some of SAC’s views on the outcomes we can achieve in the future.Last week, I was fortunate enough to attend a week-long experience at the Adelaide City Council with four other great girls from SAC. I learned valuable public speaking skills, the roles of people in the council and ways to maybe represent Adelaide in the future. We talked about the future of Adelaide, including sustainability and parklands development, to name a few topics. The leadership skills I have developed, especially over the last term, by taking opportunities that were available to me, have given me the incentive to become a respected leader in society, wherever I may be. The changes that I can now be a part of, both in and outside of SAC, are huge and I am looking forward to using my skills for the benefit of the community. SAC has been one of the main contributors in shaping me into the leader I am today. I know that by the time I graduate I will have learnt much more. Learning to lead has been about having a go at the things that have come my way, caring about my local community and beyond and seeing what is possible when people work together with a common goal.

NATIONAL SIMULTANEOUS STORYTIMESibling rivalry ran rampant in the McAuley Auditorium on Wednesday 27 May 2015 as Reception-Year 4 classes participated in the 2015 National Simultaneous Storytime. In schools and public libraries around Australia, more than 525,000 children joined in reading ‘The Brothers Quibble’ by Aaron Blabey, which tells of an older brother’s reaction to the arrival of a new baby brother. This event was organised by the Australian Library and Information Association to promote the value of reading and literacy and the role of libraries. As the story was read aloud, Alisha Chanda, Chelsea Connelly, Harmony Jayawardhana and Agum Mabok 4KB created an outstanding performance that entertained the audience.Thanks to all students and teachers who participated to make this such an enjoyable event.

Students’ Reflections

The actors were funny and I liked getting a sticker. Alyssia Diegmann 2LS

Everyone liked that we got to see it two times. Beatriz Seijo Becerio 2LS

In ‘The Brothers Quibble’ I mostly enjoyed when Chelsea receives a glass of water from Alisha (Dad) and she throws it back carelessly. In the play I felt really happy and I enjoyed the book because it has the perfect level of silliness! Harmony Jayawardhana 4KB

TORRENS UNIVERSITY VISITS SACOn Monday 1 June 2015, Ms Ruth Jaksa from Torrens University visited St Aloysius College to run a Mid-Year Exams preparation course for our Year 12 students. This was a good refresher for the Year 12 students in the lead up to their exams which will begin on Friday 26 June 2015.

DRAMA NIGHTS HIGHLIGHTS!

In Week 4 the Year 12 Drama class presented a very professional and polished production titled ‘Stories in the Dark.’ Based in Bosnia in 1995, this war play followed the journey of two displaced children as they battled to survive.

The production was well received over its two night season. Congratulations to the Year 12 Drama students. Please enjoy some photos of the production.

This term the Year 11 Drama class performed a modified version of the 1995 film ‘The Brady Bunch’. Those of you who are familiar with the popular 1970’s sitcom ‘The Brady Bunch’ will remember the endless family meetings, kids meetings, Mike’s supportive lectures, the simplistic Brady themes and the morals present in each episode. Mike and Carol were the kind of parents who always managed to teach a lesson to their six children whenever they could. They were a simple family with simple beliefs.

Together with my Year 11 students, I had a wonderful time creating this production. Plunging the Brady’s of the 70’s into the present day proved to be a lot of fun. The play was definitely a hit and it was wonderful to see a full house on the night of the performance.

I would like to extend a warm thank you to all who supported our show, especially the parents of the Drama students and those who came out on a cold winter night to watch the show, Ms Alexandra Gonzalez, Ms Lucy Newton, Ms Margaret Smitherman and of course our Drama Coordinator Mr Tom Coultas for his ongoing assistance.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIESThe Year 6 classes have been busy learning about computer programming and binary coding in Digital Technologies this term. They have found the challenge of learning how computers read binary code by using the digits ‘0’ and ‘1’ exciting and enjoyable.

The girls had to write their name in binary code and then make name necklaces using black and white beads to represent the code. Below are some reflections on what they have learnt and enjoyed so far.

Ms Lisa McLaughlinHOME CLASS TEACHER

This term in Digital Technologies we are learning about binary coding. I am enjoying this topic because I believe that coding is very interesting and fun. Although it is difficult to learn at first, once you get the hang of it, it’s good to know as it can help us in future years in our careers. Hannah Shaw 6LM

This term in Digital Technologies we have been learning about binary coding. Binary coding is how computers read numbers and how they can program games. With binary coding you use black and white squares and numbers to represent data. Black means ‘off ’ and white means ‘on’. On the white card it has dots on it and they count up by doubling, but you can count binary with your fingers as well. I am enjoying this topic because it requires lots of thinking and it’s really fun. Eliza Bok 6LM

This term in Digital Technologies my class has been learning about binary coding. Binary coding is what the computer reads. The computer only reads the digits ‘1’ and ‘0’ or black and white. Binary coding is confusing but is really easy when you learn about it. We had a task to make a necklace with our name on it in binary coding. Each letter is eight bits and each bit would be black or white. We can also use our hands to show numbers in binary code. It would probably be best to learn binary coding with the digits ‘1’ and ‘0’ first and then you get the idea of what you have to do with your hands. Victoria Cholsh 6LM

This term in Digital Technologies we have be learning about binary coding using numbers ‘1’ and ‘0’. So far I have been enjoying every bit of it! I never thought that you can use your fingers and toes to show numbers in binary coding. Working up to big numbers is fun and also to try and figure out what number your partner is holding up. Isla Ward 6LM

This term in Digital Technologies we have been learning about binary coding and computer science. We made necklaces out of black and white beads to symbolise our names in binary code. We also used our fingers to count in binary code. I am really enjoying this unit and I think I would love to do more of this in the future. Abbey Paton 6LM

CODING PARTY FOR GIRLSFive students from Years 4-6 had the opportunity to attend a coding party for girls which was held at the Microsoft Office in Adelaide City. Thank you to Ms Carol Grantham for joining us at the party. Students who attended have written a reflection below.

Ms Jo VillisPRIMARY ICT COORDINATOR

At the start of the session we explored Little Bits which is a kit used to give an introduction to electrical circuits and robots. They come with different parts that have different colour codes. The power source and the ‘on’ and ‘off ’ switch is blue. Then, there is the input which makes it do something such as sensors or buttons. This is used so you can control it when it does something. There are also wires and bar graphs. You can add an action piece, such as a light, buzzer or spinning axel. Some examples of what can be made are puppets, mini windmills or, in our case, robots. Heather McCormick 6LM

We made robots using 3D printed wheels and a body. We used the Little Bits to make a motor engine that was solar powered. We attached one wheel to the motor, then stuck the Little Bits to the body of our new robot. Next, we brainstormed ideas of what would make our robots faster, like adjusting the sensitivity or adding a graph that would show us how much light was in the room. We used skewers to add to the back wheels by pushing the skewer through both wheels, which had holes in them. We used a piece of paper, folded in half and stuck it so our wheels could move. Then, it was time to race. Mia Konopka 5JV

It was exciting making a robot but mine kept falling apart so I had to use a lot of sticky tape. I thought of a few ways I could improve the design next time. Elizabeth Rutherford 4KB

The last activity was coding using Kodu. Kodu is program which allows you to create games instead of just playing them. The first thing you have to do is to create a world and then you add the characters. Once you do this, you are ready to code a game. Sienna Dichiera 5JV

THE FATAL FIVE

On Friday 16 May 2015 all Year 11 students were involved in the road safety program, ‘The Fatal Five’, presented by a currently serving police officer. This powerful and interactive program discussed road safety issues, including the causes of road crashes such as fatigue, alcohol and drugs, speed, risk-taking, peer pressure, driver attitudes and the ways to reduce the risk of becoming a crash statistic. This program incorporates contemporary government road safety messaging through a partnership with the Motor Accident Commission (MAC).Listed below are some websites recommended by SAPOL which may be of further value to you and your family:• raa.com.au• mylicence.sa.gov.au• sapolice.sa.gov.au• howsafeisyourcar.com.auFor any further information on road safety please feel free to contact the Road Safety Section on 82076586 or by email: DLSAPOLRoadSafetySection@police.sa.gov.au

Ms Frances DelfinYEAR 11 COORDINATOR

Students’ Reflections

At the age where getting your ‘Ls’ is finally allowed, the hype and excitement tends to overpower the importance of learning the road safety rules and regulations. This presentation offered all Year 11 students significant facts and information including the five main reasons for crashes, hence the name ‘Fatal Five’.We learnt about the potential distractions that are present in the vehicle and ways to avoid them. I believe that the main message behind the presentation was that the temporary thrill and adrenaline rush received from risky actions will most definitely not end up being worth it in the end. By being involved in risky actions, you are not only putting yourself in danger but also innocent lives. After this presentation we were definitely able to walk away with a much better understanding of the responsibilities that will be placed in our hands when behind the wheel. Farwa Saiedi 11NR

This program has expanded my knowledge on what I previously knew in regards to unsafe driving, speeding, being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, distractions and seat belts. The strongest message for me was simply to obey the rules. This will create a huge reduction in accidents and therefore possible deaths and injuries. I believe that this presentation should be compulsory for all students from Year 10 as it provides a strong message for young people who are at risk of being involved in more accidents. Chloe Otte 11SE

Road Safety Presentation

SAPOL BANDOur Primary students welcomed the SAPOL School Beats Band to SAC during May. Reflections from students across the Primary School are included below.

Ms Dannielle Spears & Ms Shey OdgersPRIMARY COORDINATORS

Students’ Reflections

On Wednesday 20 May 2015 the entire Primary school was quietly sitting in the Undercroft when suddenly we were immersed in a magnificent array of instruments. We were captured by an immaculate sound coming from the Police School Beats Band! Not only did they perform the usual band music but they played recent songs which got everyone grooving to the beat. The police officers really showed the fun side of being in the police force by interacting with the crowd and dancing to their music. Tessa Mauriello 7MP

When the Police School Beats Band came to the school they had every one clapping along to all the songs they played. They played cartoon theme songs, modern songs and classic songs from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. They let everyone get involved in their music at the same time making it fun and educational. We gave the performance ten out of ten! Prudence Beaumont & Aine Cussen 6SH

I liked the music and the instruments and I liked singing along to the music with my friends. They played the song ‘Dumb Ways to Die’ to remind us of silly things that we shouldn’t do. Chiara Izzo 5JV

I didn’t expect to hear the Police play instruments in a fun way. I thought they would be serious. They were actually really funny! Lucia Marrett 4KB

I really like the song ‘Dumb Ways to Die’ because everyone sang along and it had a good beat. Samantha Mahney 3JS

I liked the nice songs. I sang and clapped at the same time. Poppy Martin 2BM

They are very good at playing their instruments. I liked the saxophone best. The man playing it was very funny! Saba Sebastiano 1JG

The police were so cool and made me happy! Manazeel Babaee R-KR

Netball & Badminton RegradingThe regrading of teams for all competitions will take place at the completion of round 4 for netball and badminton. This will ensure that all teams are playing in a division and grade which suits the teams’ ability and allows competitive matches against other schools. Due to the nature of regrading, parents and students will need to understand and be aware that the venues and times of the games will change and that it is out of our control as to which venue/school hosts each grade. Changing of venues will only be positive for all teams as it will allow all girls to be rewarded with even competition. Regraded programs will be sent via email during Weeks 6 and 7. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and we wish all teams the best of luck for the upcoming season.

Please note that there is no Saturday sport for badminton, netball and lacrosse teams on Saturday 6 June 2015

as this is the long weekend.

Knockout Sport Information

Round 1 Results, Details and Upcoming TrialsDuring Week 5 the Year 8/9 knockout netball team played St Mary’s College and Adelaide High School in round 1. In a fantastic display of skills, teamwork and determination, our girls were victorious in both games, allowing them to succeed through to round 2 of the Year 8/9 knockout netball competition. They will play Brighton High School and Marymount College later this term. Good luck girls!Our Open netball team competed against Walford and Adelaide High School this week. In a gallant display of SAC spirit, the girls came back from a nine goal deficit to even half way through the last quarter. In the end, Walford was too strong and took the game back two goals. SAC proved to be strong in the second game against Adelaide High School winning by over 20 goals. A special thank you to old scholar Lucy Burg for coaching the team this year. The Open soccer and volleyball teams played their first round matches on Monday 25 May 2015. Congratulations to the Open soccer team, which defeated Mercedes College and St Dominic’s Priory College in round 1. They will face Henley High School in the semi-final later this term.

WATER FOR THE BRAIN!Every morning you pack your daughter’s school bag and send her off to school. You always make sure that her homework is in there, school books, her lunch and perhaps a jumper. Did you know that one of the most important things you can pack is WATER!

Over 2/3 of the human body is made up of water, while the brain itself is made up of 95% water. This fluid is depleted through day to day activities, let alone if we exercise as well. It is essential that we replenish this fluid throughout the school day. It will not only prevent your daughter from being thirsty, but did you know that she will also have a clearer head, avoid afternoon fatigue, be less irritable and due to the fact that it helps lubricate our joints will also help with some of those little aches and pains.
