2018 YEAR OF COURAGE - LEADING WITH COURAGE

ST RITA’S COLLEGE

Dear Parents/Guardians

At this week’s Assembly we acknowledged and celebrated the richness of the many cultures that have contributed to the vibrant tapestry that is today’s modern Australian Society – this was in order to highlight what Harmony Week and Day is all about. Harmony Day has been celebrated in Australia since 1999 on 21 March, chosen to coincide with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial

Discrimination. This special day is a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism and the successful integration of migrants into our community. Australia is widely regarded as one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it. This year the decision was made to include the surrounding days of 21 March to make Harmony Week. People are encouraged to celebrate and attend events that stress the importance of inclusiveness and respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background. The theme this year is “Everyone belongs”.

The College’s Assistant Principal - Mission, Mr Rogusz, put together a moving prayer service to begin the Assembly during which a number of our staff and several students said prayers in languages linked to their family history and ethnicity. Just like in any Australian community, our St Rita’s community have so many with links, either directly or indirectly, to many cultures from other parts of the world. We heard prayers and sentiments read out in the following languages: Greek, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, German, French, Malayalam, Gaelic Scottish, Portuguese, Dutch, and of course English. All the participants were native speakers of the language they read their prayers in. It was a wonderful way for all of us to get a real sense and appreciation of the mixing pot which is our Australian culture and it made one appreciate how important each individual’s ethnic background and culture are. It is an important part of who they are and certainly for them it must be a source of pride, as it should be. We are all much richer and stronger when we take positive steps to embrace the diversity of our origins.

After the prayer service, I used my address to the girls to talk about the dreadful terrorist attack that occurred last week in Christchurch, New Zealand. I would like to share a little of what I said to the girls:

I am referring of course to the shooting and killing of so many innocent people by a person who seems to have been driven by a deep-seated hatred…… hatred of difference, hatred of other’s culture, hatred of others’ religion, hatred of being part of an inclusive society. There have been many, many words used over this past week to describe this abhorrent act and it has inevitably led to all of us having a sad empty feeling in our hearts because it just doesn’t make any sense.

Since details of this horrid story emerged, I’ve asked myself this question: “How does a person become so hateful that he can convince himself that it is OK to go into a house of prayer at a time when so many innocent people are so vulnerable and begin a shooting rampage firing at and killing people indiscriminately?” It is just so unbelievable that such a thing could happen, but tragically for the world at large, and in particular our part of the world, it has happened, and we need to do some reflecting on where such hate can arise from. I am not assuming for one minute that there is a simple answer to this question, but we can gather from what has been written about in newspapers these past few days that the build-up of the mental state of this person has occurred over a number of years. It has largely involved conscious decisions of this person to build his anger against Muslim refugees through involvement in online hate speech forums. There is evidence, too, that his sense of feeling threatened by Muslim refugees was heightened not only by the writings of “White supremacist groups” but also by statements made by various politicians over the years about the threat of Muslim refugees. Whatever his reasons for choosing to feed and enflame his hatred, we can see where it has led his life – inevitably into a downward spiral of self-centredness culminating in this most senseless and cruel act. His hatred has not only caused the death of so many people, but it has ruthlessly killed that part of his own spirit that connects him in love to others.

So, as chilling and haunting as this tragedy has been it should speak to each of us strongly about the dangers we play with when we choose even in much more minor ways to exclude, or discriminate, or target others because they are different. In other words, to reject the notion which is behind the Harmony Day celebration. We all have a responsibility to play a positive part in promoting inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians in a spirit of love and with a sense of promoting justice for all. We should make it clear to those who express otherwise that their views are toxic and can lead to awful consequences. I’ll finish with the words of Walid Ali who spoke passionately about this issue the other night on television. In referring specifically to this act as one of terrorism, he said:

This is not a game. Terrorism doesn’t choose its victims selectively. We are one community and everything we say to try to tear people apart, demonise particular groups, set them against each other – that all has consequences, even though we are not the ones with our fingers on the trigger.

Let us as a community take to heart the theme of harmony week “Everyone belongs”.

God bless

ST RITA’S COLLEGE

Continuous Reporting TimeframesAs per the College Continuous Reporting policy, teachers have 15 days for results and feedback to be reported back to parents and students via MySRC. As we are transitioning into the new QCE for Year 11 students, our staff are becoming familiar with the new Instrument Specific Marking Guides (ISMGs), assessment tasks and cross marking these tasks. Therefore, teachers may need more than the 15 days to return feedback and results via MySRC.

Academic Integrity and TurnitinAll Year 11 students have now completed the QCAA Academic Integrity course which takes students through four parts:

1. What is academic integrity and why is it important?2. What is academic misconduct?3. Effective academic practices4. How do I use drafting practices to improve my work?

The aim of the course is to highlight the importance of appropriate acknowledgment of sources through in-text citations and reference lists. Year 11 students have also received instruction from our Head of Library, Ms Schravemade, on using the databases and creating a reference list. When students use our databases, the correct reference is always available for them in each record. Parents are encouraged to discuss the importance of this course with their daughter.

The Year 10 students will complete the QCAA Academic Integrity course in the coming weeks. All students are required to submit their assignments through Turnitin which is used to ensure their work is authentically their own.

Senior Schooling Resources on MySRCThere are a number of resources on the MySRC Parent Portal which parents and students can access: • Academic Integrity course - parents are able to undertake this course which

will help them understand the importance of academic integrity when students are completing assignments.

• MyQCE Website – a website specifically designed by QCAA for students in Year 11, outlining all they need for the new QLD Certificate of Education (QCE). This site provides a comprehensive array of resources for students and parents.

End of Term ExamsParents and students are reminded that all students must sit scheduled examinations. If a student is ill on the day of an exam, the parents are required to contact the class teacher to notify them of their daughter’s absence. The student will then sit the examination the first day they return to school. Students in Years 11 and 12 who are ill for an exam or spoken presentation must obtain a medical certificate to explain their absence from the exam.

Last fortnight saw a lot happening at St Rita’s. Our Seniors successfully hosted the soiree on International Women’s Day. Our guest speaker, alumna, The Honourable Justice Sue Brown was down-to-earth and inspiring. Her generous advice and reflections on what are important in life were well received. The opportunity to network with other school leaders was taken up enthusiastically.

Hogan House celebrated International Women’s Day with a donut fundraiser held on 8 March. Donuts were ordered and eaten with great delight. All money raised support the Presentation Sisters in PNG. In addition, Hogan posted wonderfully inspiring messages on bathroom mirrors around the College, reflecting positivity and reminding us of the beauty within each of us.

On 13 March we had two brave and very generous community members ‘shave for a cure’, Miss Crellin, Xaverian Head of House and Izzy Saggal, Year 11 student. Miss Crellin was inspired by the courageous and determined fight put up by Xaverian student Tamlin Hall these last few years, and Izzy by many family friends who have shaved bravely for the Foundation’s mission to find a cure for blood related cancers. Outstanding fundraising of approximately $7,000 will go towards this great cause. A sincere thanks to Fiona Cacciola, from Fiorenza Hair Boutique, for volunteering her expertise.

On Thursday 14 March the College hosted the CaSSSA Swimming Carnival. Our team, who had trained hard, swam wonderfully, achieving second place in the Aggregate Cup. Details of individual and team results can be found on MySRC. Well done to all team members, Head Coach, Mr Tim Dilger and all coaches. The team was supported enthusiastically by the Year 8 and Year 11 students led by Mrs Liz Devine. The Rita’s Pride spirit squad girls were wonderful, cheering on loudly throughout the day. Thanks to all community members who encouraged the team.

Friday 15 March was Rosa Day. Rosa House promotes the message to say no to bullying. They hosted their annual Braids against Bullying awareness raising activity. Bullying is cruel and its impacts often ill-considered and devastating. esafety.gov.au has information about how to approach online safety. The site also has information for parents and guardians, including up-to-date information and resources covering

online safety issues and concerns. The online world is operating 24/7 and is everchanging. This site endeavours to update and provide most current advice. Thanks Rosa, for keeping this important message in high profile at the College.

Monday 18 March was Nagle Colour Day. The House celebrated Nano Nagle’s Irish heritage in a nod to St Patrick’s Day. They held a trivia contest, gave each student a sticker to support the Presentation Sisters’ GoGreen4Goals, and ran a leprechaun hunt. To be sure, it was a day of grand fun!

Follow us on Instagram, @ritaspride to see photos of each of these events and more.

In response to last Friday’s tragic massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand, SchoolTV has put together a special report to support parents, guardians and care givers, and their discussions with children. In formative years it is essential to put events like this into context. No one wants children growing up in a world they perceive as threatening and cruel. Rather, whilst we acknowledge this senseless and indefensible act of terrorism, we need also to acknowledge the generosity and good of many people around the world, who, through actions and words, offer love and support. The report can be found at SchoolTV, https://stritas.qld.schooltv.me/wellbeing_news/christchurch

Harmony WeekThis year marks the twentieth anniversary of Harmony Day. It is a national week of celebration of Australia’s multiculturalism. It also celebrates the inclusiveness, respect and belonging we are all called to show to people new to this country. Australia is a vibrant and multicultural country — from the oldest continuous culture of our First Australians to the cultures of our newest arrivals from around the world. All people who migrate to Australia bring with them some of their own cultural and religious traditions, as well as taking on many new traditions. Collectively, these traditions have enriched our nation. At our Assembly on Tuesday, we celebrated the cultural diversity of our College community by inviting staff and students who speak a language other than English to lead our liturgy. Our prayers were spoken in Dutch, French, Gaelic Scottish, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Malayalam, Spanish, Tamil and Vietnamese. We give thanks for the diversity of our College community and for the beauty and richness it reveals to us of our nation and our world. You can show your support for cultural diversity and an inclusive Australia by wearing orange from the 17 - 23 March.

Project CompassionAlmsgiving is a traditional feature of the Lenten Season. Each week during Lent, each student is asked to contribute $1 per week to Project Compassion, a total of $5 for the duration of the appeal. Students are asked to bring their donations to school on the last day of Term so that they can contribute to the Caritas Coin Trail. The Caritas Coin Trail will pit House against House in a race to the bottom of the driveway. The donations must be in coin but they may be of any denomination: 5, 10, 20 or 50 cents or $1 or $2 coins. The donations collected as part of Project Compassion will support the work of Caritas, the Catholic Church’s aid and development agency that does extraordinary work around the world. In the Project Compassion story for Week 3, we hear the story of Peter. Peter goes to a boarding school in the Solomon Islands that has experienced water shortages for 60 years. Previously, students would have to walk kilometres each day in search of clean water, which was particularly challenging for Peter who is living with a disability. With Caritas Australia’s support, the school has created a new reliable water system. With more free time and fewer illnesses caused by dirty water, Peter can fulfil his hope of focusing on his studies, providing him with brighter future.

St Agatha’s Life Teen MassSt Agatha’s Parish Clayfield extends to all students and families an invitation to attend the Life Teen Mass each Sunday at 5:30pm. The Mass has a youth focus and young people are encouraged to take part in various aspects of the Mass. Singers and musicians are particularly welcome. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact me at the College or come along on Sunday 5:30pm.

National Literacy and Numeracy Testing (NAPLAN) 2019NAPLAN tests for Years 7 and 9 will occur on the following days this year:14 May Language Conventions and Writing 15 May Reading 16 May Numeracy17 May Catch-up tests for students absent on test days

St Rita’s College will not be participating in online NAPLAN testing this year: our students will be completing the paper tests. All NAPLAN tests will occur online from 2020 onwards.NAPLAN assesses the types of skills that are foundational for students to progress through school and life. While media reports tend to focus on schools’ NAPLAN achievements, St Rita’s College sees more merit in using such assessments as diagnostic tools and to help us to track student learning progress. I had great pleasure last year in reporting that St Rita’s 2018 NAPLAN results showed excellent learning progress for our students. It was further gratifying to read in The Sydney Morning Herald this week that good schools focus on learning progress over time, and that

[t]he amount of progress a student makes during their years at school is the best indicator of the impact the school has had. Achievement results often tell you less about school quality and more about the wealth and educational attainment of student families. Schools should discuss not only the raw NAPLAN results, but also the gain in NAPLAN points as students move from year 3 to year 5, or year 7 to year 9, compared with similar students. (Julie Sonnemann and Peter Goss, “Dos and don’ts of selecting a school,” March 18, 2019)

Teachers at the College use our learning data strategically, including our NAPLAN data, to ensure that our students can make good progress in their learning.

Year 7 and Year 8 Year 7 and Year 8 students are also participating in one dedicated literacy lesson per cycle this year, as a means of supplementing the literacy work that occurs in the ordinary course of every English lesson. For example, students complete regular spelling, grammar and punctuation tests in their English classes. They also engage in reading comprehension activities using, among other things, the QAR strategy (Question-Answer-Relationships). To complement the routine work done in English classes, Year 7 and Year 8 students completed a Progressive Assessment Test (PAT) in Grammar and Punctuation at the start of Term, and the data from this test has been used to further target areas for each class’ dedicated literacy lesson. The table below summarises the grammar and punctuation areas addressed so far:

Class Literacy Focus7.1 Apostrophes, especially contraction apostrophes7.2 Apostrophes, especially contraction apostrophes7.3 Apostrophes7.4 Apostrophes, especially contraction apostrophes7.5 Apostrophes, especially contraction apostrophes7.6 Commas8.1 Tautologies and redundant words8.2 Commas, especially phrasal commas8.3 Commas8.4 Commas8.5 Tautologies and redundant words8.6 Commas

Over the course of the year, Year 7 and Year 8 literacy lessons will use a combination of formative test data, summative classroom assessment data, and teacher observational data to focus on priority literacy areas for our girls. Students in Years 7 will also complete short narrative and persuasive writing tests using the ACER eWrite program. This program provides instant feedback that will supplement teacher feedback on students’ summative written assessment pieces for this Term.

Students in Years 7 will also complete a practice NAPLAN Numeracy paper on 28 March. Teachers in the Mathematics Faculty have been working strategically to help students develop their skills in the areas of deliberate practice and automaticity, skills which are integral to developing numeracy fluency.

Year 9Year 9 students completed a practice NAPLAN Persuasive Writing test at the end of last year and have received their scripts and feedback. Shortly, these students will also complete a 30-minute Progressive Assessment Test for Grammar and Punctuation and a 25-minute ACER eWrite narrative writing test, and the data from these tests will be used to further target specific areas of need for these students. The Year 9 cohort will complete a practice NAPLAN Numeracy paper on 1 April, and the Mathematics Faculty will use the data from this test to further target numeracy priority areas for students.

Learning Analytics and MySRCResults from NAPLAN practices and PATs will be progressively uploaded into student accounts in Learning Analytics, and I encourage parents and guardians to discuss these results and progress made with their daughters. Parents and guardians can also view spelling test results for their daughters in MySRC, and the Mathematics Faculty provides updates to parents and guardians regarding student progress using the Mathspace program.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information about the College’s NAPLAN preparation program.

NAGLE HOUSE

Term One FunThis Term in Nagle, we were once again able to raise over $6,000 for the Nano Nagle Nursery and Primary school in Nedumbaram, India by selling chocolate boxes. Thank you to our community who supported our mission’s fundraiser. This fundraising is vital for the upkeep of the school bus for the Nano Nagle Nursery which enables three busloads of children to get to school every day.

Nagle’s first Tree Planting event this year with Kalinga Park Bushcare Group was on 4 March. Due to the dry weather, the girls and teachers focused on weeding and watering the native plants we planted in previous years to rejuvenate our local habitat and environment. It was great to have such enthusiasm from the students, as this event continues to be a lovely afternoon for the students and teachers. Nagle’s Tree Planting will continue again in Terms 2 and 3.

For Nagle’s Colour Day this year, the Year 12 students decided to celebrate Nagle’s Irish heritage with the whole school on Monday 18 March. We started off Nagle Day as a whole House with girls and teachers sharing a cake together to celebrate a wonderful Term 1. The school community was then put to the test in a St Patrick’s Day and Nano Nagle Trivia event, where the winning House Group won 1kg of chocolate. Congratulations to Hogan 5 for winning. Nagle House also distributed #GoGreen4Goals stickers to the College community to wear for the day, in support of the campaign by the Presentation Sisters to achieve the Sustainable Development goal of ending poverty. At lunchtime, the school community came together again for a Leprechaun Hunt around the school with the winners wining even more chocolate. It was a great day for the school community where we celebrated Nano Nagle’s Irish heritage, as well as thanking the College for their help with recycling each week.

So far this year we have had many Nagle girls who have achieved great things or experienced special events. Congratulations to:

Charley in Year 9 who was selected for the Nationals team for Rhythmic Gymnastics.Lily in Year 9 who has been selected for both the Met North Swimming and Water Polo teams to compete at the separate Queensland School State Championships. Lily was also the 15 years age champion at the Interhouse Swimming Carnival and won the Head of Sport’s trophy.Ella and Zoe in Year 11 who were involved in the Sofitel work experience week.Jade in Year 8 who was cast as Annie for the Queensland Musical Theatre production of Annie. Sophia in Year 7 who was selected for the under 14 representative side for the Brothers Touch Football Team. Quianna in Year 10 who was selected for Met North team and played in the Queensland School State Tennis Championships. Nicole in Year 11 who was 16 years age champion at the Interhouse Swimming Carnival.

Thank you to all the staff and students who have helped Nagle during Term 1.

Jazmin Fensom, Year 12 N2

2020 ACU and UQ Course Guides The course guides for Australian Catholic University (ACU) and The University of Queensland (UQ) are hot off the press waiting for the girls to come and browse or they are free to take them away. The brochures can be found outside the Pathways and Careers office. Griffith and QUT will be in stock in the coming weeks.

ACU – Community Achievers Program Each year we have Year 12 students who apply for early entry into university courses through the Community Achievers Program (CAP). This program recognises the positive contribution which students make to their school and local communities through their volunteering and leadership experiences. CAP awards early entry for standout students. Each year I speak to the girls and encourage them to apply. Visit the website for the finer details www.acu.edu.au/community-achiever. Applications open 1 May for all campuses and Brisbane campus closes on 30 July. The girls are awarded their conditional offers in mid August.

Australian National University (ANU) ANU visited Brisbane last week to explain their new independent direct application system which will be rolled out this year for 2020 offers. Like many other universities, they too are harnessing the soft skills of university applicants and including this as part of their application process. Universities are beginning to see the benefits of recruiting well rounded students to their courses. For students to apply through the new direct entry system at ANU they must meet the cocurricular or service requirements which includes: community engagement, inclusion and awareness of diversity, communication, leadership, personal responsibility, teamwork and creative and critical thinking. See www.anu.edu.au/study/apply or www.programsandcourses.anu.edu.au for their courses. Their new direct entry system opened on 4 March and closes 31 May and conditional early offers are released on 1 August for those interested in attending one of the top universities in Australia.

Call out for Guest Speakers at our Year 10 Careers Day, Wednesday 19 June Careers Day for the Year 10 students is getting closer and the girls are in the process of nominating their six guest speaker sessions for the day. This day couldn’t be possible for the girls without the generosity of the parents within our great community. Thank you to those parents who have already put their hand up to be involved in Careers Day, but we are still looking for more. You may ask what does it involve? In Term 2, in the lead up to senior subject selection, the Year 10 girls will be involved in Careers Day. This day features guest speakers working with the girls in small groups. Numerous industries are represented and based on

the request of the girls. Many of the guest speakers are parents, past students or alumnae members. If you would like to assist us by speaking with the girls so they can discover greater insight into particular jobs/careers please email Mrs Kylie O’Hare at oha@stritas.qld.edu.au

Holiday ProgramsThroughout the Term, I email to the girls a variety of opportunities which become available and generally this is the time that students can nominate for holiday programs or workshops. These opportunities allow the girls to discover more about various careers or specific jobs. Currently there is a program for those interested in Marine Biology. Click here for more information.

The Queensland School of Film & Television is offering some introductory courses which might appeal to some girls. See pg 21 of the Careers Option Bulletin.

Options Career BulletinBulletin number 4 is packed with the latest information. The contents of the bulletin have been discussed with all Year 10 girls in their careers classes in recent weeks so hopefully they are reading it each fortnight as they investigate their choices for the future. Its time for the Years 11 and 12 students to lock in some of the dates for Open Day, Scholarship Applications etc.

Snap ShotCareer Exploration looks at the difference between Commerce and Business related degrees, Careers in STEM and discusses the High percentage of Career Development. Some great competitions coming up including: young composers, ICT Explorers competition and ATOM Photo Comp, see pg 13 for more information. Employment on pg 16 highlights Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the future. Non-Cognitive Skills – What are they? An article discussing the importance of ‘Soft Skills’, a good read for students and parents on pg 16. See scholarships on pgs 18 and 19. A fantastic opportunity for any girls interested Fashion Design – a $5,000 Jimmy Choo scholarship. For those looking to study internationally through a sporting scholarship see pg 25 for some options. ACU Experience Day coming up on 4 July, see pg 39 for the full details of what this offers.

MUSICMr Craig Kennedy - Head of Cocurricular Music

Autumn ConcertOn Tuesday evening we held our first concert for the year with each of our senior ensembles performing. After only seven weeks of rehearsals, the ensembles were well-prepared and entertained the audience with a wide variety of music including classical favourites, songs from musicals, jazz, rock and pop songs, an English hymn, Israeli folk dances and movie themes. There was certainly something for everyone and I congratulate all of the girls involved on a very successful concert.

Are there instruments more suited to a particular gender?The short answer to this is a resounding ‘No’. However, it is a common misconception that certain instruments are more suited to one gender over the other. This is not something that I often consider or even think about as I see so many girls performing so strongly on what has often been thought of as masculine instruments in the past. Nevertheless, I recently had a conversation with someone in relation to this very subject and then coincidentally also received a blog that addressed it so thought I would also share this with our community. I found this a very interesting read, particularly as it addresses girls playing brass instruments.The Women in the Brass Section: How They Found Success, a blog from JWPepper.com

SPORTSwimmingCaSSSA CupLast Thursday saw the CaSSSA Swim Team compete at the annual CaSSSA Cup Carnival. The girls have shown great commitment throughout the whole season and showed up ready to race. There were many stand out performances from our swimmers during the course of the day – too many to mention - and St Rita’s placed 2nd in the Aggregate Trophy and 2nd in the Percentage Cup after a highly competitive day of racing. A special mention to the 19 & Under age group who won their age division. A big thank you to the Years 8 and 11 students who cheered, danced and sang all day in support of our swimmers; it makes such a difference to have everyone in the stands cheering on the girls.
