The relationship between Sacred Heart College and Marymount College was a major and ongoing

focus. This included an extraordinary meeting with the Chair of SACCS, Professor Denis Ralph and

Acting Director of CESA, Monica Conway. The two Chairs and Principals of the Councils of Sacred

Heart and Marymount College also met.

The Feast Day Mass was celebrated by Bishop Eugene Hurley to mark the amalgamation of the

Chair’s Report

The most significant recent development in terms of the governance of the College was the decision by

Marist Schools Australia regarding the future structure of the Middle School and its relationship to the

Senior School.

This school year saw Sacred Heart College become a single institution on two campuses: the existing all

boys Middle School at Mitchell Park, and the existing co-educational Senior School at Somerton Park.

The structure also includes one overall College Council providing advice and support to Steve Byrne as

College Principal.

Council continues to be supported by energetic Finance and Building Committees who have a number of

significant capital projects at various stages of progress.

The Finance Committee also assists Council with another of its key responsibilities of financial oversight

and advice.

The redevelopment of St. Paul’s is coming along nicely and should be “open for business” for the start of

the 2016 school year.

With the relocation to St. Paul’s, it is likely that the early works demolition package for the main oval

precinct will commence in the first quarter of 2016. This will be a major redevelopment for the College and

information about the project can be found on the College’s website.

Council continues to be pleased with the focus on academic excellence and the Graduation Assembly on

22nd October showcased the wonderful achievements of the 2015 cohort.

Congratulations are also extended to the boarding staff for the support and encouragement they give our

boarders. Our boarding houses make our College’s offering unique amongst other senior secondary

schools in South Australia and are an important part of the fabric of our culture.

III. YEAR 12 RESULTS, VET REPORT AND NAPLAN

YEAR 12 RESULTS - 2015 I am delighted to report that our Year 12 students achieved excellent results, both in the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and with their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).

Learning and achievement continues to be promoted as a top priority in the College. We are confident that our graduating students are well equipped as independent learners to take on the challenges that exist beyond Sacred Heart in the years ahead.

The Year 12 students of 2015 have performed at an exceptional level with 78 students achieving an ATAR over 90 – which places them in the top 10% of students in the State and also situates them in the top 10% of the nation. 9 students secured scores in excess of 99.0 which places them in the top 1% of the SACE cohort. This is truly outstanding!

Of the 304 students eligible for an ATAR, 25.7% achieved an ATAR over 90. In total, 126 of these students (41.4%) students secured an ATAR in excess of 80, which signifies a commendable level of achievement. The mix of students continues to be varied with a number of students studying part-time and/or studying at more than one year level, including a selection of Year 11 students studying one or more Year 12 20-credit subjects.

Brandon Le

I am pleased to announce that Brandon Le has been chosen to receive one of the Governor of South Australia Commendations for 2015.

The Governor of South Australia Commendation acknowledges and celebrates overall excellence in the South Australian Certificate of Education. It recognizes excellent achievement in Year 12 subjects as well as success in developing the SACE capabilities of communication, learning, personal development, citizenship and work.

Each school in South Australia was invited to nominate only one student whom they considered would be a most worthy recipient of the award. We nominated Brandon as this student.

Out of more than 14,500 students who received the SACE in 2015, only 26 have been selected to receive this prestigious award from the Governor of South Australia.

A high-level selection committee consisting of leaders from across the South Australian community, including the Governor of South Australia, carefully considered all nominations for this award. The selection committee has conveyed to Brandon their recognition of and high regard for his outstanding achievements. In addition, Brandon was personally congratulated by the Chief Executive of the SACE Board (Dr Neil McGoran) in a telephone conversation on the day of the results release.

Brandon will attend the SACE Merit Ceremony on Tuesday, 9 February 2016 where the Governor will present the award to him on stage.

FROM THE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING DEPARTMENT

Vocational Education and Training (VET) has been operating at our College since 1997. Our student VET

enrolment for 2015 was 69 students studying up to 26 different courses through various Registered Training

Organisations.

2015 saw the introduction of “Try a Trade Program” which is to be known next year as the “TradeLinx Skills

Program” for Years 10/11 and “TradeLinx9 Program” for Sacred Heart and Marymount Year 9 students. We had

20 students participating in this program in the fields of Construction, Metal Engineering and Hair and Beauty.

These students attended the Rosewater Trade Training Centre at Mount Carmel College every Friday fortnight in

Semester 2. “Try A Trade” is an exciting initiative that allows students the opportunity to do just that. Students not

only sample a trade, but gain invaluable skills, knowledge and advice from experienced trainers. These students

also were encouraged to seek work placement and many of them have now experienced the working world, whilst

networking and forming relationships with different businesses. We found these students were perfect candidates

for our VET Program and were encouraged to enrol in 2016 to start their Certificate II in their chosen field.

Students involved in the 2015 VET program, have achieved a full or partial certificate in their chosen course. Many

of these students are now actively looking for apprenticeships and jobs and we wish them every success. We are

very proud of these students, as they have managed to balance both Year 11 and 12 and a course off campus.

We also had great pleasure in welcoming back 2 former scholars Tori Wilmot and Josh Barrett. (SHOCs 2014)

Tori Wilmot graduated from our College in 2014 and during her time at the College was a very hard-working and

affable member of our school. In 2013, at Year 11, Tori studied for 6 months for the Certificate II in Community

Services and then decided to change and take up a School Based Apprenticeship working through a Certificate III

& IV in Disability at CARA Woodville.

Last year while in Year 12, Tori continued her studies for the Certificate IV in Disability with CARA as part of School

Based Apprenticeship Program.

This year, Tori has been working full-time as a Community Support worker at CARA, Oaklands Park. She had

taken time off from work and travelled overseas to relax and do the touristy thing, (spend money). Tori is planning

to go to University and study Teaching, - Majoring in Special Education, to work with young people who have

Disabilities.

In July 2015, Tori was the recipient of The Australian Vocational Student Prize, which recognises students who

have demonstrated outstanding skills while completing vocational training in senior secondary years. Five hundred

prizes of a certificate and $2000, are available nationally each year. Our Careers Coordinator Mrs Prue Wilkosz

nominated Tori as a worthy recipient.

Our second former scholar we wish to recognise is Josh Barrett. Josh Barratt graduated from our College in 2014

and during his time at the College was regarded as a nice and genuine person. Josh started in the VET program

in Year 11 where he completed a Certificate II in Sport and Recreation at Hamilton College. In Year 12 Josh

completed a Certificate III in Sport and Recreation and was part of the School Based Apprenticeship program

where he did his traineeship with Appleton Sport through the AFL Sports Ready Program.

Josh is employed full-time at Our Lady of Grace School at Glengowrie as a Coordinator of Sports. He is also

studying for his Certificate IV in Sport and Recreation. Josh’s future direction is to work in the Management field –

(in the Sporting Industry). Maybe one day Josh will be at the helm of Adelaide Crows, or Port Adelaide Power or

even for the South Australian Cricket Association. Josh was also the recipient of The Australian Vocational Student


Prize, for 2014 who had demonstrated outstanding skills while completing vocational training in his senior

secondary years.

** Note: Most students yet to secure employment in their chosen fields continue to seek opportunities.

The VET Department is looking forward to another successful year in 2016.

Making an assessment on current results and using comparative and growth data from 2011-2015 the

following areas for strategic development were identified: Spelling, Writing, Grammar and Punctuation. The

next 3 year cycle will address Literacy needs across Years 6-9


LITERACY STRATEGIES

Embed “growth areas” into teaching and learning plans

More explicit teaching e.g. of spelling and grammar – use formalized programs

Employ Literacy expert to work with small teams eg LOLT’s – who then train own group

Adopt Quicksmart strategies (literacy ) into classroom practices

Align Staff PD to improving literacy skill development

Align teaching of content – scope and sequence e.g. teaching of different genres

Provide staff with accurate, individualized data for all students (school, NAPLAN, ACER)

Provide a template for staff to complete ensuring that individual needs are recorded and identified for every student

NUMERACY STRATEGIES

Focus on explicitly teaching and assessing essential skills

Unpacking each achievement standard to ensure we are teaching to that standard and identifying the key skills the boys should be picking up and providing examples of each type of question on teaching plans

Focus on worded questions including explicitly unpacking the questions

Exposing boys to all three content strands areas of the curriculum prior to NAPLAN – spending the “right” amount of time within each content/sub content areas

Developing an essential skills test for each year level

Sacred Heart Old Collegians Association President and Sporting Body Reports (SHOCS)

President’s Report

The Sacred Heart Collegians Association (SHOC) has been in existence since 1907 and with over 14,500

members, it seems we are going as strong as ever. The aim of the SHOC Association is to encourage

friendship and the community spirit among the ex-students and one of the most effective avenues for this is

through participation in the various sporting clubs.

There has been outstanding participation across the board from the sporting bodies this year with 2 cricket

teams, 5 netball teams, 3 football teams, U/18s football team, 3 men’s soccer teams and, for the first time, a

women’s soccer team. Special mentions have to go to:-

Cricket B grade who took out their premiership after making the Grand Final for the first time in 13

years;

Men’s Soccer were division 4 champions; and

After a stunning season, all 5 netball teams made their Grand Finals with 3 taking out the premierships.

The SHOC Ball in May organised by the Football and Netball clubs was successful again with well over 150

people in attendance at the Bay Function Centre. Once again the event was a great fundraiser for the football

and netball clubs. The event is open to all to attend so I would invite everyone to come along next year. It’s

a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet the newer members of SHOCs.

The Bay Function Centre was also the site of a large reunion on 31 July for old scholars who attended the

college in the 1950s. Over 70 people travelled from near and far to attend the lunch and have a tour of the

school. I am told the afternoon was a great success with lots of reminiscing and an old tale or two told.

Thanks to John Crosby and Jane Mason for their efforts in organising this event – we hope to be proactively

encouraging and assisting in the organisation of reunions like this one in the future.

I had the privilege of participating in the Mass for the Feast of the Sacred Heart and to commemorate Sacred

Heart becoming one College across the Senior and Middle School. With approximately 2,000 students, staff,

parents, Marist Brothers and guests it was a truly lovely celebration of the school and community.

Since 1996 the SHOC Association has awarded a bursary(s) to year 11 student(s) heading into Year 12 to

assist with their school fees and some money towards their extra-curricular activities. These scholarships are

awarded to students who have demonstrated not only a good academic level but also have made a

contribution to the school community, and hopefully will continue to do so after graduation. The decision was

once again made difficult by the high quality of the applications and I am happy to announce that the recipients

were Henry McKay and Isobel Templeton. Thanks to the selection panel of Jessica Plummer (nee Whiting),

Daniel Head and Katie Fritz for their time and work in making the difficult choice.

The Old Collegians Association also awarded the Brother Jordan Redden bursary this year to a Year 9 Sacred

Heart College Middle School student. This Award was presented to William Shanks and will be an ongoing

award and replaces the previous Marist Award which was presented by the College.


Thanks to the SHOC Association committee again for their commitment this year. As always there are too

few that do the work so we are always open to anyone who would like to join the committee or even volunteer

to help out at certain events, just get in touch.

In this multimedia age Sacred Heart and SHOCs have been working to expand our internet presence and to this end the Old Collegians Association has launched a website this year at ww.shoc.com.au. This website will be a place you can go for up-to-date news and events both for the College and the sporting clubs. Michaela Kenneally President

Football Club A-Grade - stepping back into division 1 for the first time in a few years was always going to be a challenge, but one the club took on with great enthusiasm and determination. Unfortunately the season didn’t go to plan and we will be back in Division 2 in 2016. Some positives taken from the season were:-

Competition consisted of some very young sides, average age of 24 years;

It gave a large number of players their first taste of senior footy;

We were very competitive in the majority of games we played.

B-Grade - had a great start to the year, winning the first 10 games and sitting on top of the ladder, however they fell away in the second half of the year with a few injuries and finished the home and away second. The team were very competitive playing in 2 close finals, but unfortunately couldn’t get across the line. C-Grade - also had a good start to the year, only narrowly missing out on the finals. The team had a great mix of older experienced players and youngsters from the U/18s, which the club will see great benefits from in the future. U/18s - another great year by the young lads, making the finals again plus also giving a lot of them a taste of senior footy. Special Mention and thanks to:- Matt Delmenico and Mitch Parr Matt and Mitch both made the State team which won the carnival for the first time in decades. Special mention to Matt who not only captained the side, but also made the All Australian team, a great effort. Jack McKay (OS 13-15) won the league medal for best player in the competition, an outstanding achievement. Best and Fairest Winners:-

A Grade Matt Delmenico B Grade Todd Button C Grade Mick O’Brien U/18s Jack McKay

With the 2015 season now wrapped up, the SHOC Football committee has well and truly started it’s planning for 2016. At the top of the agenda was how to continue the development of our players and coaches. Club President, Scott Collins, outlines the decision making process here:- “With the departure of some of our coaches from last year and some important changes in the coaching structure, I thought it important to outline these changes to our sponsors and supporters for season 2016″ said Scott. 2016 Coaching Structure


Director of Coaching Position – It was a unanimous recommendation that this role be implemented to assist all club coaches and to provide a continuity of coaching philosophies, and to mentor and develop coaches and players through all grades. Andrew Underwood has agreed to take this role on in 2016. His mandate will be to align all coaches through A, B, C and U/18 grades to ensure consistency of game style and structure through the club.

A Grade Senior Coach Adam Marling

Senior Assistant Coach Damian Kitschke

Assistant A Grade Coach TBC

A Grade Team Manager Mark Harris

B Grade coach Yet to be confirmed.

This role is currently vacant and the Club would be happy to hear from anyone willing to take on this important role in 2016.

C Grade Coach Heath Treacy

Under 18 Coach Andrew Underwood

Andrew Underwood will continue as the under 18 coach for 2016 with the assistance of David Underwood, but we will develop a succession plan for 2017. We are looking at options including for a current player to assist in developing his coaching skills with Andrew in 2016 with a view to taking on the position in 2017, or canvassing some current parents of lads to assist in 2016 with a view to taking on this role in 2017. The Under 18 coach is crucial in developing a pathway for SHC kids to come to SHOCFC. This role is as much about planning and organising as it is coaching. Historical facts:- Damian Kitschke brings a level of experience from both the AFL and SANFL with the following statistics:-

Played 29 games and kicked 14 goals for St. Kilda in 2 seasons;

Played 132 games and kicked 162 goals for Sturt; and

Is a previous SHOCFC A grade coach (1996-1998)

Andrew Underwood is well respected as ex-AFL, SANFL player and for the work he is currently doing in coaching the SHOCFC under 18s with the following statistics:-

Played 12 games with Essendon under the great Kevin Sheedy (89-90);

Played 12 games and 4 goals with Richmond in 1991;

Played 112 games for Sturt; and

Holds a Level 3 Coaching Accreditation.

From the A grade coaching team last year, Pat Lambert and Nick Yeomans have decided to step back due to work and family commitments. Spud and the club would like to thank them for their commitment and assistance over the past few seasons, they have made an excellent contribution to the SHOCFC. We would also like to thank Michael Sweatman and Floyd O’Toole, our B Grade Coaches for the past 3 years. Their commitment to the SHOCFC is unquestioned, and their passion and hard work has been exceptional and they will hopefully stay connected with SHOC’s in some form in the future. Pre-Season 2016 We are very excited by the upcoming preseason. As you can see from the above information, we have enlisted some experts in the field to ensure the training will not only be very challenging but also very rewarding. We encourage everyone who is considering playing next year to attend, this extends to all school students who are not training at league clubs. Pre-season training kicks off on Wednesday, 3 December at Marymount College.


Netball Club Season 2015 has been an overwhelming success for SHOCNC with a number of new players and officials joining the club and the development of several new initiatives. In addition to this, all five teams were successful on the court and competed in Grand Finals, with three of these winning premierships in B3, C2 and C4 grades. A total of 48 permanent players across five teams took part in the Adelaide Metropolitan Netball Division competition at the Netball SA stadium at Mile End. This season teams were fielded in B4, B5, C2, C3 and C4 teams. The B4 team showed impressive results early on causing them to be promoted to the B3 competition. The new B3 team was coached by Laura Roadknight with assistance from Amanda Shattock. The B5 team were self-managed with leadership from Kellie Gardner and Brigid Whiting. They were also assisted by B3 player Teigan Boxer. The C2 team was coached by Paul Angley. The C3 team was player-coached by Bernadette Stihec. The C4 team were also self-managed with leadership by Natalie Bryant and Morgan Nagel- Kirkham. They were assisted by B3 player Ellie Morkunas. We thank all of our coaches and leaders for their dedication and commitment to the club. We are currently seeking coaches for Season 2016. We welcome any enquiry into this vital role. As we offer teams across many levels we can also accommodate coaches of varying levels of experience. This season several players reached significant milestones in games played. These include:

150 games - Kerry Fernandez and Shannon Visockis

100 games - Bridgette Comley

50 games - Jane Horan, Katrina Hurley, Ellie Morkunas, Nina Juniper

As a relatively new club established in 2001, we are now starting to see some serious dedication and achievements over many years. Some wonderful women have provided over 10 years of service to our club. Congratulations to our new Life Members who have all made significant contributions on and off the court. Our newest full life member, Tara Boots, has provided over 10 years of service to our club as a player and

official. As a player from 2001-2014 she has played over 200 games, an achievement unmatched at SHOCNC. Tara has coached various teams over the years as well as player coach in the B1 Grade in 2013-2014. She has assisted as an umpire and committee member including Secretary and Equipment Manager over many years. Alex Penhall - As an A Grade player in 2003-2006, 2008, 2010, she has played over 100 games. Alex undertook the challenging role of player/coach of the A grade for five years. She steered the A Grade team to the Clubs’ first Premiership in 2010. Post retirement she has continued to shape our club with assistance in selecting teams for many years. As the SHC Girls Sport Coordinator she has also assisted in the establishment of our inaugural SHCS-SHOCNC Scholarship. Sarah Hall - As a player in 2003-2007 and 2009 she has played over 100 games. As President in 2005-2007, Treasurer in 2006-2007, Committee Member in 2011, and a player in 2003-2007 and 2009 she’s done just about every job imaginable. Post retirement she has also assisted as a selector, fill in player and umpire. Kerry Fernandez - As a player from 2001-2014 she has played over 150 games. She’s a 2015 premiership winner. Possibly the most enthusiastic member of the club and unofficial ‘Fitness and Motivation Coach’ over many years. In 2016 for the first time she will sit on the committee in an official capacity. Bridgette Comley - has played over 100 games, including this season’s premiership in B3. She has also acted as a committee member including Umpire coordinator over several years. Always positive and smiling, Bridgette is valued on and off the court and will be back playing in 2016.


We would like to thank and acknowledge our sponsors Badge Construction, Tony Whennan, Mediterranean Cafe, Matt Williams MP and the Walkington family. Our sponsors support means we can continue to provide affordable opportunities in the community to participate in sport. We welcome any sponsorship contribution, please drop us a line via Facebook or email [email protected]. The SHOCNC Committee meets monthly to ensure the club runs smoothly and players take the court each week. The club would not operate without their time and effort. Thank you to:

Shannon Visockis, President

Katie Fritz, Vice President

Natalie Bryant, Treasurer

Amy Ryan, Secretary and Umpire Coordinator

Alex Craig, Social Coordinator

Teigan Boxer, Equipment and Uniform Coordinator A collaborative social committee consisting of SHOCNC and SHOCFC members have created a successful social calendar for us all in 2015. SHOCNC collaborated with SHOCFC on several events this year including a Season Launch, SHOC Ball and Mouse Cup. The Netball Club also coordinated the much loved Ladies Day held in August at Mint on Moseley, Glenelg. This was attended by over 50 players, family and friends including a cohort of SHOCFC Mum’s who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. For the first time this year the SHOCNC awarded a scholarship to a Year 12 SHC netballer providing them with fees and uniform paid for Season 2016. Zoe Martini was selected in conjunction with coaches and Alex Penhall, Girls Sport Coordinator and embodies the SHC/SHOC values of team spirit and giving 110% at training and on game day. We look forward to fostering relationships between our club and SHC to improve awareness and facilitate recruitment of students when they leave the College. Thanks again to all committee members, coaches, umpires, players and sponsors associated with the club in 2015. A special congratulations to our runner up and premiership players - that’s all of you! We look forward to your continued involvement next year and hope for a 2016 filled with further success and growth. Shannon Visockis SHOCNC President

Soccer Club 2015 has been a successful year for the club with our Division 4 side winning the championship for the first time. This title takes the club’s record to four championships in the past five seasons. Another exciting addition to the club this year was the formation of a women's team. With a number of new players joining the club and showing interest early in the year, we were very close to entering four male teams, however our numbers didn't quite reach the level needed and as such the club remained with three teams; we are very hopeful to move to four male teams next year. So if you or anyone you know is interested in a game of soccer please contact using the details below for next year. Our Division 1A team finished 6th after a slow start to the season, however a number of good results towards the end of the season saw the team raise themselves from possible relegation to finally finishing mid-table. The team has gone through a transitional period with some important players from past years no longer at the club but this has been balanced with a few new recruits from the school and the development of players who’ve been with the club for a few years. The Division 1B team finished 7th for the season after a mixed bag of results throughout the year. Similar to the 1A team, there has been a transition with players in this team as well.

mailto:[email protected]


The Division 4 team completed a fantastic season, remaining unbeaten through the season, having thirteen wins and five draws. After holding a strong position through the start and middle of the season, a number of draws towards the end of the season meant the team needed a win or draw on the final day to ensure the championship. It didn't look promising when, after 10 minutes, the team was down 2-0. By half time the score was 2-1 and everyone could relax through the second half as SHOCs began to control the game and ended up winning 4-2 and taking the title. The team contained a number of ‘veterans’ who combined with many new faces successfully and was managed brilliantly by club Vice President and first time coach, Mark Allison. A special mention must also go to Glenn Bartlett who captained the team and scored 29 goals for the season including a hat-trick in the final match. A massive congratulations to all involved with the Division 4 team this year. The Women’s team was formed just in time to begin this season and we were entered into the FFSA’s Women’s Collegiate League. It was a tough start as the other teams were already established and had full teams while we struggled for numbers. We were competitive in most matches and as the season progressed we started to get closer to a full team. By the end of the season we had managed two wins, including a big 5-1 win against Mt Barker in the last round. The team made huge improvements from the beginning of the year and with some new recruits from the college, 2016 should be great. If you, or anyone you know is interested in joining the women’s team please contact on the email address provided in this article.

The annual Simon Mathews Cup (between the old scholars and school 1st XI soccer team) took place in August and was another successful night. The Old Collegians’ team were again successful to make the record stand at two wins for the old scholars and one for the school team. The game celebrates the life and contribution to SHOC soccer made by Simon Mathews, who passed away in 2012. We look forward to continuing this tradition in 2016. At this point, I would like to thank the school for their continued support for the soccer club and our sponsors, without whom we would not be able to continue running the club. There are two people in particular I would like to mention and thank for all their hard work throughout the season. Mark Allison has supported all teams and communicated effectively with all club members this year, adding the coaching of the Division 4 team to his duties. Nick Mitchell has been the club coach since 2008 and has ably led the club and coached the Division 1A team. Thanks must go to both of these men for continuing to give up their time despite having many commitments to attend to outside the soccer club. I would also like to thank the coach of the Division 1B team, Daryl Sims, for taking on the role this year and thank Jake Keir for supporting Darryl in this role. I would also like to thank all the committee members who have given up their time to help with the organisation of the club and its events. Michael Canavan SHOCSC President

Cricket Club For the first time in 13 years, the SHOC CC won a premiership. Finishing the season in 3rd place, it was a great achievement to take home the flag against a strong Unley team. Winning the toss and batting on a typical flat home pitch, the Middle School, things didn’t exactly go to plan. Quickly going from 1/25 to 6/58, it was going to take a mighty partnership to drag us out of this trouble. Fortunately the Sacred Heart boys stood up and dug in. With a few more huge sixes from Nick Forster, we managed to put together 137 on the board – something for our bowlers to bowl at. Nick was superb finishing 67 n.o.


Given 16 overs to bowl at Unley at the end of day one, we entered the field full of confidence we could make some early inroads into the Unley batting line up. With some super tight fielding and heavy appeals for wickets, we managed to get Unley 4/32 overnight. We had truly fought back extremely well in the last few hours of the day to give us a chance at victory. Day two started with the boys all being very confident, but we quickly had the wind sucked out of our sails with a few chances being dropped and a few run outs turned down. The trophy looked like heading to Unley at 4/110 – only need another 28 for victory. But like true SHOC people do, the team managed to fight back. Bringing back on the best bowler in the competition – Ben Griffith, we managed to take 3 wickets in 7 balls to turn the tide. It’s a funny thing momentum and we well and truly had it. Having Unley now 7/121 we still needed three more wickets to claim the title. Up steps big Ben Griffith again, taking two wickets in two balls to take the game away from Unley. Ben took an incredible 7/49 from 22 overs – to take his tally to 42 for the year at an average of just over six. Young recruit, Marcus Walkington, took the final wicket that cued some well overdue celebrations. It was great to see so many supporters out at the Middle School cheering us on. The club feels it has turned a good corner and is definitely on the road to more success. Everyone on the club’s committee has been working hard on building strategies for more success. The Cricket Club would like to thank all the support it has had from the wider community for the season. We would also like to extend a big thank you to both the Senior and Middle Schools for everything they have helped us with over the season. Nathan Grasby President


FOUNDATION OFFICE

Role of the Foundation

The Foundation’s role is to provide financial support via donations from current and past parents, old scholars

and friends of the school community to assist with the provision of facilities at the college. It also, in

conjunction with the college, provides scholarships and bursaries, assists in the organization of reunions,

archival requests, the production of publications, maintenance of the database and assists with the

administrative needs of the Sacred Heart Old Collegians Association.

Annual Giving

Annual Giving took place in May/June 2015. The annual giving campaign was marketed to past donors and

current parents at Sacred Heart College Senior, together with old scholars who have previously donated. As

usual we had a generous response from our community.

Bursaries

The Foundation continues to offer a Bursary in the sum of $1,000 to a Sacred Heart College Senior Year 11 student. The recipient for 2015 was Ben Ellul. This award was presented to Ben at the Year 11 Farewell Liturgy. The award is aimed at encouraging and recognizing an “all round” student in Year 11. It does not recognize the champion in a particular subject, sport or service activity, but rather someone who participates in a wide range of activities and achieves excellent results. The Foundation also reintroduced a Bursary to a Year 9 student at the Middle School Campus. This bursary was awarded to Tristan Camilleri. An amount of $2,000 will be deducted from Tristan’s school fees for 2016. The Whiting family, in memory of their late sons and brothers, Henry Whiting and Richard Whiting, established

the Henry Whiting Bursary in 2002. Three scholarships are awarded annually to boarders. The Bursaries

are open to all Year 10 boarders, but preference will be given to those families who find boarding fees a

considerable burden. The applicants must demonstrate a willingness to apply themselves to study and work

to the best of their ability. It is an expectation that the recipient(s) will be involved in school activities and

have a commitment to their community both at home and at the College. The Scholarships for 2015 were

awarded to Year 10 students Molly Noonan of Jamestown, Kade Morris of Kingscote and Gemma Thomas

of Roxby Downs.

Blue and Blue

There were two issues of the Blue and Blue this year. The final issue of the year was 56 pages and continues

to be well received by the whole Sacred Heart community.

Reunions

The Foundation is ongoing in providing assistance to reunion organizers. This year the old scholars from the

1950’s celebrated their first reunion in many years. The reunion was held at the Bay Function Centre with 70

old scholars in attendance. Many travelled from interstate for the reunion and it was decided this will become

a bi-annual event to coincide with Intercol.


Archives/Memorabilia

The Archives is a treasured part of the history of Sacred Heart College. This material is currently located in

the Cottage. The material is in the process of being catalogued in more detail and this process will begin

next year.

Sacred Heart Old Scholars Association

Michaela Kenneally continued in her role as President of the Old Scholars Association. The Foundation

continues to provide administrative assistance to the Old Scholars Association, primarily to keep the database

updated which is also crucial for the Foundation to be able to maintain contact with past scholars in terms of

attending functions, annual giving etc. This year saw the launch of the Old Collegians website.

Refurbishment of the Science Laboratories

The Foundation handed over a cheque to the College for $100,000. The science laboratories refurbishment

will begin over the Christmas holidays.

The Foundation continues to be active and successful in the raising of funds, organization of events,

communicating with the community and the continuing update of the database. It exists with the great support

of Principal, Steve Byrne, Operations Manager, Peter McCabe and all other staff. The Foundation is currently

working on a Communications Strategy with the assistance of old scholar Stephen Juniper. This will be

completed early next year and it is anticipated there will be some developments in the Foundation office

moving forward in 2016.

Thank you also to Jane Mason for running the Foundation office through another successful year.

With your assistance we look forward to a busy and productive 2016.

Jim Whiting

Foundation President

BUILDING COMMITTEE

2015 was a significant year for the building committee with the merger of the 2 schools into one College. With

the completion of the 2 master plans recommendations were made to the College Council as to the projects

that would be undertaken for the next 5 years.

The major project under consideration is the redevelopment of the Main Oval complex at the Senior School.

As 2015 closed all the approvals were in place for a commencement date of April 2016. To facilitate this a

number of small projects are planned to relocate the grounds and maintenance teams to allow for the

demolition of the existing oval complex.

Planning is also well under way for the new cricket practice nets at the Middle School and these should be

ready soon after the commencement of term 1 2016. It is expected that work will also commence on the

carpark and drop off area at the Walter Avenue entrance in term 1 to allow a safer traffic flow for all concerned.

I am pleased to report that the fit out of St Paul’s Church as a hospitality and technology centre has been

completed on time and on budget and is ready for use for the 2016 school year. This is an exciting state of

the art facility that will enhance all aspects learning in the aforementioned curriculum areas.

As proposed in 2014 the College in conjunction with the Foundation has undertaken a commitment to

refurbish the science laboratories. The first of these fit outs commenced at the end of 2015 and is expected

to be completed by the end of term 1 2016. This is an exciting project that will have great outcomes for

teaching and learning in the science faculty and is fully supported by the College Council.

Sincere thanks go to the members of the committee, Steve Byrne (Principal), Jim Whiting (Chair), David

McKay (member) and Mark Sires (member). I personally express my thanks to the committee for the expert

advice they provide to myself and the College as a whole on an ongoing basis.

Business Manager - Operations


PARENTS AND FRIENDS REPORT

The Parents and Friends group at Sacred Heart is a dedicated and enthusiastic group of people who work with

the Principal and staff to organize social events and support parental involvement. Any funds raised at these events

are used to benefit students.

This year I took on the role of Presidency with the assistance of Jane Mason. Beryl Rowe remained as Treasurer

and Genevieve Oosterbroek as Secretary.

The Wine and Cheese / Welcome Evening was the first event held early in the year to welcome new parents to

our school and for friends to become reacquainted. In October we held a farewell night for parents of Year 12

students which was a great success. It is held to give parents an opportunity to farewell friends in a friendly and

sociable environment.

This year we have held a couple of Shopping nights which are a fun and sociable evening to get together.

The P&F would like to introduce a Pastoral Care Committee in 2016. Currently members of the committee are

Louise Williams, Jane Mason, Lisa Chapman and Mel Whitchurch. The P&F are currently working on a Pastoral

Care Charter which will be further developed next year.

As the College is now one, the P&F will be promoting the involvement of parents from the Middle School campus

to be involved in the P&F and Pastoral Care committees.

The P&F is unique and the ideal that parents do have a continuing role in the education of their children. Gail

Morgan has come along to our meetings as the staff representative and we thank her for her support and wonderful

insights into what is happening at Sacred Heart.

Farewell to Lisa Chapman and Genevieve Oosterbroek as outgoing committee members. It has been a pleasure

to work with them and we thank them for all the help and support they have given the P&F and the Sacred Heart

community over a number of years.
