From the PrincipalDear members of the Sacred Heart College community

State ElectionThis will be the final newsletter in the lead up to the South Australian election on 17 March 2018. As such, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage all families to engage in something we Australians too readily take for granted and perhaps, can be complacent about - the democratic freedom of political debate and process of our fine State and Nation!

We are a comparatively young nation and even younger state in regard to what we might term ‘democratic Australia’. Whilst the Ancient Greeks forged the foundations of what we’ve come to know as ‘democracy’, most political freedoms across the globe have come at a great cost to many communities. Freedom of speech and association have typically been hard won and cannot be assumed in many parts of the world. An educated nation able to engage in the democratic process requires considered, balanced and often contentious issues to be transparently put before the proletariat such that an agreed and fair voting process can be conducted to determine our representative form of government.

Political debate can be awkward but it can also be emancipating as our society continues to redefine itself - as people have done for millennia. It’s not my place to influence people’s political views, but it is my responsibility to represent our College’s needs and views on matters pertaining to the education of all children in South Australia. As such, like many Catholic Principals and leaders, I have met with and written to a number of the local candidates presenting a range of issues highlighted in previous newsletters. The exchanges have been meaningful and poignant.

As the election draws near, I encourage all families to discuss the matters they hold as important and to encourage their children to take an interest in the process. We are blessed to enjoy such political freedoms, it’s important we make the most of what is available to us and to encourage our young people to develop their responsibility in upholding such freedoms!

Prime Minister’s ‘Bullying’ LetterWhilst in the political arena - the recent letter from Mr Turnbull in regard to bullying is yet another initiative to assist in dealing with the scourge of bullying and harassment. At most enrolment interviews bullying and harassment is typically discussed. The current generation of students are the most well educated young Australians ever on this topic. That does not mean it has been resolved!

However, the assumption that the school is now responsible for the ‘24 hours/7 days per week’ conduct of its students, especially online, is clearly flawed. The school alone should not and cannot be responsible for the ‘24/7’ conduct of its students. However, if parents, carers, peers and school staff work in collaboration for early intervention, then good outcomes can be achieved.

Something to consider? If one person says to another, ‘please stop’ and they don’t and they choose to continue then we have a problem. If one person says to another, ‘please stop’ and they do - problem solved. Put simply ‘no’ means ‘no’ and ‘stop’ means ‘stop’! Encouraging, supporting and educating our young people to adopt these protective and respectful behaviours has been, is and will continue to be a huge challenge. Only by working together and this includes at family to family level, can we even dream of diminishing such behaviours.

Let’s at least keep working at it!

Regards

Steve ByrnePrincipal

School Bus Access for Students in Rural SchoolsImagine not being able to access a guaranteed place on your school bus to ensure your child gets to school safely? Sound’s crazy – but it is happening in some parts of rural South Australia.

Every other state and territory has school buses managed by the Transport Department. We want the same to happen in South Australia – so that bus services are based on need not school sector.

We are calling on all political parties to offer a better solution for students in Catholic schools in rural South Australia.

Please voice your concern to your local MP and candidates in your electorate. You can read more at www.cesa.catholic.edu.au/news/fair-funding-campaign

From the Head of Champagnat CampusThe broad array of opportunities provided over the last fortnight for our students, highlight the richness of our Marymount community. It also reinforces and brings to light the talents of our girls and their ongoing commitment to College life.

Sportsmanship at its finest Sport is in full force as the girls proudly don the double blue. Touch, volleyball, basketball, tennis, badminton and canoeing/kayaking are underway with winter sports still to come! We have experienced significant wins and challenging loses. What has been most impressive is the sportsmanship of our girls. They play hard but clean and team spirit is strong. Players look for the assist, they pounce on loose balls, execute shots with precision and box out for rebounds. Their passion for sport is clear and our girls play each game with true Marymount spirit. I extend my deepest thanks the many parents and old scholars who have taken on a coaching role this year. Your generosity and support of our CEA program is greatly appreciated.

Year 8 CampVictor Harbor turned on delightful weather for our Year 8 Camp this week. 119 Year 8’s and their teachers ventured their way around the coastal area over three days and two nights. Students had a wonderful time and made many connections along the way. The students’ days were filled with aquatic and adventure activities such as boogie boarding, raft making, beach games and mountain bike riding as well as a day of reflection surrounding the key theme Who am I? The nights consisted of shared meals, theatre sports, prayer and an impressive talent show. New friendships were created and lasting memories were made. I congratulate Connie Trimboli and her team of capable teachers for organising and facilitating a very successful camp experience for our Year 8 girls.

Courageous WomenInternational Women’s Day was celebrated today and our Marymount Campus Captains Rose and Aylish gathered the staff at both the Marymount and Middle School campuses. They led our communities in prayer and spoke about our call-to-action to press forward and progress gender parity. They distributed a stamped biscuit with the hashtag #PressforProgress to raise awareness and motivate our communities to think, act and be gender inclusive. In addition to this initiative, two time Olympian, business owner and Physiotherapist Jess Trengove, was invited in to share her journey with the Year 9 cohort. As part of the Rite Journey Program the girls have been exploring their own story to date and will soon delve into the topic ‘brave and courageous women’. Jess’s story is just one of a series that will be explored with our RJ girls this year.

Combined Parent Representative GroupParents gathered from both campuses last week for our first combined Parent Representative Group meeting. We spoke about parent engagement this year and as we move forward into Champagnat campus. Planning for our first social gathering is well underway. An invitation will be created in the coming weeks and distributed to families via Facebook and email. Our next combined Parent Representative Group meeting will take place in Term 2. You are all most welcome to attend.

Amalgamation Parent Forum I take this opportunity to remind families of our upcoming Amalgamation Parent Forum which will be held next Thursday 15 March in the McAteer Centre at Sacred Heart Senior. Come, join the conversation about Positive Education and hear updates about the Champagnat Project and our building program.

From the Assistant to the Head of CampusParent/Teacher/Student Learning MeetingsIn Week 8 we invite all parents/caregivers to take the opportunity to meet with your daughters teachers. This week an email was sent out with a web link and code for you to log on electronically and book a time with the teachers. We do encourage the students to attend these meetings as it is an opportunity to support their learning at Marymount.

Before and After School SupervisionPlease be aware our Resource Centre is open in the morning from 8.00am until 8.20am and in the afternoon until 4.00pm. Please do not drop off your daughter prior to this time in the morning as we cannot guarantee that she will be supervised. If students can be promptly picked up at 4.00pm it would also be greatly appreciated.

Safety and WellbeingWe have policies, processes and procedures in place to provide your daughters with a sense of belonging and to ensure their safety and wellbeing is nurtured. As part of building our partnership with families I would like to draw your attention to the following documents:

• Policy for the Care, Wellbeing and protection of Children and Young People• Cyber safety: Keeping children Safe in a Connected World

There are other procedures we have in place in order to keep our learners safe including:

• Recruitment processes of new staff and relief teachers• Guidelines for staff in their interactions with students• Police check procedures and electronic screening for people on site and working with students• Safety procedures and risk assessments or excursions and incursions• Reporting of abuse and neglect.

The Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum is also taught across the 4 year levels and embedded in many learning areas. It teaches the learners about recognising abuse, telling a trusted adult and understanding ways to keep themselves safe.

As a further commitment to your daughter’s safety, we previously offered face-to face RAN-EC training (Responding to Abuse and Neglect - Education and Care). However, we are now able to offer the training online for all volunteers at Marymount Campus (see below for instructions).

Responding to Abuse and Neglect Online Training for VolunteersRAN training for volunteers is now an online session which must be completed before you can do volunteer work at a school. Once completed, please print your certificate and bring a copy to the front office, alternately email a copy of your certificate to jenrollins@shc.sa.edu.au.

Step 1 - Go to https://www.plink.sa.edu.au/pages/signup.jsf (if you already have an account, login)Step 2 - Select account type ‘Volunteer’ then fill in the required boxes to CREATE ACCOUNTStep 3 - Follow the promptsStep 4 - Print a copy of your ‘Certificate of Participation’ > hand it in to Marymount Reception or email jenrollins@shc.sa.edu.au.

Year 7 FocusYear 7 students at Marymount Campus have had a busy start to the year. On Monday mornings we always kick off the week with a high energy Health Hustle which is led by our class leaders. Our Maths focus has been on adding and subtracting integers and playing different games such as Integer Wars and Popcorn Maths. In Positive Education we have unpacked the Character Strengths using Instagram hashtags and in Science we have been investigating how to separate substances. We used Circle Time to discuss our learning and goal setting.

From the Assistant to the Principal - Champagnat ProjectVisible Learning UpdateLast Thursday, 25 leaders of learning from across the College came together for our first Visible Learning - Leaders into Evidence Day. It was a significant moment for our combined campuses as we took the next steps in leading learning and using the Visible Learning Framework. Throughout the workshop we were given a range of data collection strategies to support the gathering of baseline data to show where each campus is currently situated against the 4 elements of Visible Learning:

• Visible Learners• Know thy Impact• Passionate and Inspired Teachers• Effective Feedback

In a nutshell, Visible Learning is about using evidence to create improvements in the learning environment. Based on work done by Professor John Hattie, Visible Learning strategies are built around evidence-based research on what works best in schools to improve learning.

Parent Representative GroupKate Kilpatrick, Head of Champagnat Campus and I met with a small group of enthusiastic parents last week to begin considering ways in which parents of our combined campuses might come together throughout 2018 and beyond. We discussed the desire to have social opportunities for parents to gather, family events, parent information sessions and also the importance of parental involvement in the life of the College through participation in a variety of College events. We were delighted with the energy and excitement of the group and look forward to announcing a joint campus social gathering before the end of the term – more details to come soon! If you would like any more information about the Parent Reps or you would like to join this group, please feel free to contact either myself or Kate Kilpatrick.

School Crossing MonitorsRecently our school took part in School Crossing Monitor Training conducted by the South Australian Police. This involves students in Years 6 and 7 being trained by Road Safety Educators from the SA Police Road Safety Section. After the training is complete the student will receive a Certificate of Authority issued on behalf of the Commissioner of Police which, under the Road Traffic Act 1961 authorises the student to work as school crossing monitor. The certificate authorises the student to stop traffic using a Stop Sign or using Pedestrian Actuated Traffic Lights, as well as give reasonable directions to pedestrians for the safe and efficient movement of traffic at or on the crossing as in their opinion is necessary.

The training involves learning how to safely stop vehicles at a school crossing and performing safety assessments on when it is safe for children to cross the road (this includes asking the monitors to check that all vehicles have stopped prior to pedestrians walking onto the crossing). The session also includes safe sign handling techniques and positioning within the crossing.

It is extremely important that all people (including parents/caregivers) use the crossings and become good road safety role models, by following the School Crossing Monitor’s directions, not only for their safety but the safety of all students and road users.

If parents have any questions about the training, the Road Safety Section is happy to receive these inquiries on the telephone number 8207 6586.

Road safety is everyone’s responsibility.

SENIOR SCHOOL

From the Head of the Senior SchoolTerm 1 has been hectic and full - and we are only half-way through! Saturday morning sport, Triathlon Competitions, Surfing Competitions, Swimming Carnivals, Remar, class excursions, Exeats, a Year 10 SACE Parent Information Evening, a Parents & Friends Welcome Night, Sports Day and the daily activities associated with learning - all fill our days (and nights).

I mention below, a few of the many activities that have already occurred, or are soon to occur:

Sports DaySports Day was held last Friday 2 March. It was definitely a fun-filled and safe day with wonderful participation from all our students. Our student leaders were outstanding and showed skilled leadership of their Houses. Congratulations to Montagne House who were the overall winners on the day and to Chanel House for winning the House Spirit Award.

Parents & Friends Welcome NightThe P&F hosted a wonderful evening on Friday 23 February. The event was well-attended with many new parents enjoying a relaxing and balmy evening. Many thanks to Ingrid McKay and her team of P&F members who hosted the event.

Year 12 RetreatsYear 12 students are currently at their Retreat venues and are no doubt enjoying a well-earned change from their studies. The Retreats are pivotal in the faith and personal development of our emerging adults and I wish them well in the final two days of Retreat.

Sozan High School11 students and their accompanying teachers will be joining us next week as guests from Sozan High School, Japan. Many thanks to Keiko Nielsen (our teacher of Japanese) for organising all hosting aspects of this exchange.

I wish you and your family well.
